SMU upstaging WSU with Flickerstick

FLICKERSTICK "Beautiful"

WINONA, Minn., March 28, 2002 -- Planners at Saint Mary's University scheduled the rockers Flickerstick for a campus concert on April 11 -- the night before crosstown rival Winona State is bringing Sugar Ray to town. Jason Richter, student activities director at Saint Mary's, called the scheduling coincidental. Flickerstick actually was signed in February, before Winona State lined up Sugar Ray, Richer said, noting that his announcement was delayed because the focus has been primarily on a Saint Mary's student audience. In booking bands on national tours, there is not a lot of flexibility with dates, Richter said. Many fans will take advantage of both bands being in town, he said. Richter announced the Flickerstick concert the same day that Winona State made Sugar Ray tickets available to the general public, again, he said, a coincidence.

WSU political expert: Campaign reform bill not panacea WINONA, Minn., March 28, 2002 -- A Winona State University political scientist said that the campaign finance bill passed by the U.S. Senate is not enough to solve the problem of soft money. "Anything short of public financing will not solve this," said prof Jim Bromeland. With sufficient public financing for campaigns, Bromeland said, candidates could be enticed to agree to give up money channeled by special interests through and advocacy fronts and political parties. "Most important is the soft money ban," said Bromeland. The campaign reform bill, which Bromeland sees as flawed, made it through the Senate by the 60-40 minimum vote. It is expected to be signed by President Bush. Bromeland said the Enron scandal and Enron's connection with the Bush administration put pressure on Republicans to pass the bill.

WSU club raising money with campus afghan

WINONA, Minn., March 28, 2002 -- The images of nine of Winona State University buildings have been woven into afghans that a student club is selling to raise money. The business frat Delta Sigma Pi is offering the afghans for $50. The 48-inch by 68-inch afghans, made of heavy weight long-grain cotton, were created primarily for alumni to serve as a positive reminder of their time at Winona State University, said Nicole Larson, chapter president. Proceeds go chapter operations and the Ann Marie Janes Scholarship. Contact: Delta Sigma Pi
