City denies WSU dorm variance requestWINONA, Minn., April 17, 2002 -- The vexed plan for a new 330-student Winona State University dorm on Sarnia Street hit a new snag. The city Board of Adjustment refused to approve the plan because too many people would be living in too little space. The building code would require 238,000 square feet for a 330-tenant unit. The proposed four units, each four stories, would have 176,100 square feet. The Board of Adjustment vote was 4-2 for the plan, but five votes are needed for a variance. The Board action came two days before a scheduled ceremony at which Congressman Gil Gutknecht was scheduled to turn over the title for the dorm site, now owned by the Army, to the WSU Foundation, which was to build the dorm. The project's unusual ownership scheme through the Foundation, rather than the university, was an early hurdle in the project. Through the whole approval process, private apartment-building owners have pointed out that the dorm would be tax-exempt and cut city revenues.
Top cop: Booze crackdowns unannouncedWINONA, Minn., April 17, 2002 -- College students never know when the next alcohol-related police crackdown is coming, said Police Chief Frank Pomeroy after a weekend with 130 arrests for drinking and noise violations. Sometimes Pomeroy doesn't have much prep time himself. Crackdowns like Saturday's Operation Nightcap Jr. occur when the state contacts Pomeroy. "Whenever they call and say they have the money and the men, we say, 'Come on down,'" Pomeroy said. For Nightcap, the State Patrol contributed 15 officers to help curb the growing Winona drinking problem, he said. "Since August we've had to bring 17 people to detox," Pomeroy said. "That's easily the most in the last couple of years." Last weekend seven revelers were sent to the hospital for detoxification, he said. According to the chief, most underage drinkers are Winona State students: "Most of the arrests are for underage consumption by the students, but a few of them were as young as 15." Most of last weekend's arrests were at two house parties -- at 67 West 6th St. and 522 Lafayette St.

WSU's purple giveaway: $1,000 so far| The Purple Friday campaign is funded from the Winona State University bookstore advertising budget. The gift certificates are for use at the bookstore only for high profit-margin apparel and gift items -- not textbooks, said store manager Karen Krause. "We do not have a profit margin on our school books," said Krause. |

| WINONA, Minn., April 17, 2002 -- A two-year-old Winona State program to promote school pride, Purple Friday, has given away $1,000 in bookstore gift certificates, said university promotions assistant Debbie Block. Every week two $10 gift certificates are given, one to a student and one to a prof, for wearing purple. "We are getting a good response," said Block. "Four years ago in the bookstore we didn't sell one purple sweatshirt," said store manager Karen Krause. "It is nice to look across the campus and see purple," said Krause. Krause said Purple Friday was a response to a call from university President Darrell Krueger for an incentive for students to wear purple. Block expects the program will resume with fall classes.

Student: Mountain Dew saved me from cops |
|
| WINONA, Minn., April 17, 2002 -- About five minutes after Winona State University students Lauren Small, 19, and Becky Priesler, 19, arrived at 67 Broadway for a Saturday night party, the cops showed up. "At first, the cops joked about giving them a burger or a hot dog," said Priesler. But nobody laughed for long. Soon the cops started splitting up students into five groups to check IDs for anybody underage. Priesler was lucky. "I had a Mountain Dew bottle filled with alcohol in my hand, but the cop gave me the benefit of the doubt that it was only Mountain Dew," Priesler said. "I definitely got lucky." Priesler threw her drink away and left the party. Small was not lucky. "I had two sips of my drink, and the cop wrote me a ticket," said Small. She owes a $138 fine. The good news: It won't go on Small's record. Said Prosecutor Bruce Nelson: "A first offense won't be placed on the permanent record, but the second is considered a criminal violation and could involve jail time."

Booze crackdown court dates setWINONA, Minn., April 17, 2002 -- The 106 college students who received underage drinking tickets in a weekend police crackdown have court dates for either April 22 or April 29, said court administer Sally Camiskey. Not all will show up, Camiskey said, noting that first-time offenders can simply mail in a $138 fine. Camiskey said she is unsure how many multiple-offenders will be appearing in court until a computer scan is made to match records.

THE CHANGING FACULTY
WHO'LL BE TEACHING WHAT ? |
WSU hires two Ph.D.-pending geo profsWINONA, Minn., April 17, 2002 -- The Winona State University geology department will lose one prof and gain two in the fall. Sciences Dean Nancy Jannik said Zoran Kilibarda, who had been hired for a single year, will not return. Kilibarda, who earned $40,100, said he is going back to Indiana and he does not know if he will be teaching next fall. "I had applied to stay, but there was someone more qualified," said Kilibarda. Joining the faculty will Toby Dogwiler, who is due for his doctorate in May from the University of Missouri, Jannik said. Dogwiler has taught at Missouri since 1998 and before that at Wittenberg and at Mississippi State -- nine years total. At Winona State he will teach environmental sciences and hydrogeology. The second newcomer, Stephen Allard, scheduled to earn his doctorate in May from Wyoming, has experience in construction, Jannik said. He will teach minerals and rocks. Dogwiler and Allard will start at $42,100, records show.

Cops strike after real party ends |
|
| WINONA, Minn., April 17, 2002 -- Six days before his 21st birthday a Winona State University junior got his first underage drinking ticket. Joe Moss had participated in a softball tournament sponsored by the American Marketing Association on Saturday and went to a friend's house at 522 Lafayette around 7 p.m. to celebrate. "The party started out as just the team and close friends having a couple beers. All of a sudden there was two kegs and 70 people were there," said Moss. The tenants kicked people out around 11:30 p.m. because they thought they were going to get in trouble but let immediate friends stay and drink, said Moss. When the party was busted about 12:30 a.m., about 30 people were given underage drinking tickets. Moss was given a breath test and blew a .11, a little more than Minnesota maximum permissible 0.10 percent blood-alcohol level. The ticket will cost Moss $120. The three women living at the house were each given a noise violation costing $250. "I heard people say the cops were at the house. I looked out front and saw six cops so I thought I would be sneaky and go out the back door, but when I got out back there were three cops waiting for me," said Moss. What then? After Moss got his ticket, he went to another friend's house and continued drinking.

In the library incident, a woman said she was look for a place to study on the third floor and looked into a study room. There was the guy with his penis out. The woman waited approximately 20 minutes before she reported the incident, Walski said. By then the man had left. The woman described the man in his late 30s or early 40s. This description matched a description of a man who had exposed himself the day before at Lake Winona.
