Accreditors fault WSU
on student involvementWINONA, Minn., Jan. 4, 2002 -- The North Central accreditors who recommended renewing Winona State's accreditation last spring was "pointedly critical" at low student participation in the university's self-assessment program, academic Vice President Steve Richardson said. He called on profs to encourage greater student turnout for Assessment Day activities on Feb. 12. Almost all classes are cancelled so students can join focus groups and respond to surveys. "Our recent NCA accreditation team congratulated us on many of our assessment initiatives, but was pointedly critical of the fact that student participation is not high enough to allow for statistically reliable planning," said Richardson. The accreditors insisted that the university file a detailed followup report on student participation in assessment. |

TOMORROW'S GREATEST BYLINES TODAY |
| Winona State discussion of a code of ethics for all sports began in April 1999 when the Northern Sun conference Student Athlete Advisory Committee pondered a league-wide player drinking policy. Responding to the conference initiative, Athletic Director Larry Holstad and the faculty adviser for the Winona State committee, Kim Blume, suggested a code as an agenda item for Winona State's advisory committee. |

| WSU group gives up
on jock boozing policyWINONA, Minn., Jan. 4, 2002 -- Coaches and athletes mounted so much resistance to plans for a uniform code of conduct, including alcohol provisions, that a Winona State University committee assigned to the project gave up. "We couldn't collectively create something that all coaches would accept," said co-president Jennifer Jepson of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee. All coaches except Gary Grob of baseball and Mike Leaf of basketball agreed to consider a code but wanted a written proposal to respond to, Jepson said. Pro-active support was lacking, she said. Then, she said, were problems with athletes, who wanted privacy if they were caught in violation. Enforcement was problematic, Jepson said. "We didn't know who could enforce it or how it would be done." Jepson said that the committee looked at a dozen codes from other colleges to get an idea of what to consider.

A TOWN WITHOUT TABLECLOTHS
With the closing of Habana, the imaginative Cuban restaurant at Winona Mall, the city again is without tablecloth dining.
For a fancy date, you have to go to La Crosse. A special occasion? Try Rochester. An important visitor to campus? Well, we have Shorty's down by the Amtrak depot.
What kind of college town is this, any way? |

Indolent, uh? Well, we can kick buttWINONA, Minn., Jan. 4, 2002 -- A Winona State University student Troy Gourde, said the community owes college students more respect. In a letter to the Post opinion page, Gourde, tongue in cheek calling himself an "indolent college student," said: "It was the lazy college students who virtually tipped the scale and passed the school referendum, ultimately keeping the education system in this town alive and kicking."

WINONA CAMPUS WRAPUP
TOP FALL 2001 NEWS
How one campus reporter ranks this fall's news:
1. Campus worker strike.AFSCME and MAPE union members at Winona State and Southeast Tech went on strike Oct. 1, after delaying their walkout in a contract dispute due to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The union and its members were seeking to regain wage setbacks over several years. They were also objecting to state-proposed declines in health coverage. The eventual settlement left some workers unsatisfied.
2. Alcohol crackdown. Drinking at Winona State and the campus area has increased, at least as can be quantified through bar incidents, loud partying and booze-related injuries. City officials including Police Chief Frank Pomeroy and Mayor Jerry Miller visited the campuses to discuss options. A task force has been formed that includes students from Winona State, Saint Mary's, and Southeast Tech to curb alcohol abuse.
3. Parking. Parking became an even bigger problem at Winona State. In addition to overcrowding, the fine for alternate-side seasonal parking was raised from $7 to $25.
4. Tuition increase. Tuition was up 9.1 percent last fall at WInona State, angering many students and parents. More increases may be on the way, perhaps as much as 23 percent next fall, according to President Darrell Krueger. Student Senate President Jason Fossom proposed a task force to study university funding.
5. Dorm crowding. Groundbreaking for a new Winona State dorm on Sarnia fell behind schedule. The old dorms are in bad need of repair and are overcrowded. An additional fee of $400 may be charged to dorm tenants next fall to fund repairs.
6. Homecoming fiasco. Alcohol problems at Winona State were epitomized at the homecoming parade. Beer cans were thrown from floats into the crowd. A rugby player was so drunk he fell off the club's float, forcing a 15-minute halt in the procession. The player went to the hospital for head stitches.
7. Halloween assault. A woman was sexually assaulted in the Sheehan dorm by a trick-or-treater in a Halloween gorilla costume. Other women in the dorm subdued the teenage kid until cops arrived.
8. Sept. 11 effects. Prayer sessions and speaking events were held on the campuses to remember the victims of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Social-work prof John Burdick took part in the recovery in New York.
9. Berg v. Peratt. Winona State prof Tamara Berg filed a complaint about colleague David Peratt's door decorations. Peratt had put up posters that contained information on the group Exodus, a group that seeks to straight out homosexuals
10. Football playoffs. The Winona State Warriors made the Division II playoffs for the first time ever. The team's record was 10-1 overall and 9-0 in the conference. They ended up losing in the playoffs 42-28 to North Dakota.
