Registration news and notes for next quarter

Registration will take place Wednesday evening, Dec. 1, and all day Dec. 2 and 3. Students will not be allowed to pull their cards without a Winona State College I.D. registration clear-ance card and a header card.

The registration clearance card and header card, along with other registration materials, will be available in the Admissions and Records Office, S228, during regular office hours between Nov. 1 and Dec. 3. To obtain these materials you must present your WSC I.D. card. If you have not been at WSC since fall quarter 1967, or have lost your perman-ent I.D. card, go to the Audio-Visual Center, 5123, to obtain one before reporting to the registra-tion area in the College Union.

Students who were not enrolled at WSC during fall quarter 1971 must notify the Admissions and Records Office of their intent to register for winter quarter 1971 by Nov. 23, 1971. Persons who have never attended WSC must make application by Nov. 13 and have all their records on file in the Admissions and Records Of-fice by Nov. 23.

At the top of your registration clearance card, check the total number of credits completed by the end of summer session 1971 in columns 52-54, the curriculum and major(s) and minor coded in columns 57-65, and resident sta-tus in column 71. If incorrect in-formation is printed on your registration clearance card, you must notify the Admissions and

Senate considers future of Wenonah

The future of the Wenonah was the topic of prime concern at the last senate meeting. It was re-ported that a student interest survey had shown significant stu-dent interest. The financial situa-tion of the yearbook will be re-viewed at the next meeting of the Student Activity Fund Com-mittee.

Action was also taken on Len Whalen's proposal to have a stu-dent-faculty football game to be played at half-time of the WSC-Bemidji State game. The propos-al passed 13-3.

Other items included the recommendation of student rep-resentatives for the Concerts and Lectures Committee and the Student Activity Coordinating Committee. There was also some discussion regarding MPIRG.

Senate President Steve Allbee reported on his experiences at the Student Personnel Workers Convention.

The new meeting time for the senate was changed to 4:00 p.m. on Monday.

I would appreciate it if all students who are planning to take Modern England this winter quarter would see me in Somsen 113A regarding the construction of the course. All suggestions will be welcomed and acted upon. Remember, the school belongs to you, not to the faculty or the adminis-tration.

Records Office prior to 4 p.m., Friday, Nov. 5, so that a correc-tion can be made before regis-tration.

Any holds you may have will be indicated by a mark in the proper category on the registra-tion clearance card. The student who has "holds" remaining on his card at the time of registration will not be allowed to register.

Program advising will be done Monday, Nov. 1, through Friday, Nov. 12. You will program in the department of your major as in-dicated on the registration clear-ance card. If your card indi-cates that you are listed under the wrong major, fill out a change of major form in the Ad-missions and Records Office. You may then pick up your ma-terials from the indicated major department and take them to the correct department to be pro-grammed.

It is very important that you make an appointment with your advisor early so that you will be assured of getting in to see him. If you are undecided as to what your major is going to be, follow the schedule listed below:

Aase-Bere — Mr. Richard Mil-ler, W204b; Berg-Cros — Dr. bo-ner, P21 5b; Crud-Foss — Dr. Foss, P312g; Fous-Hard — Mr. Tobin, W204h; Hari-John — Mrs. Auge, G208; Jone-Leno — Mr. Wolfe, P114c; Leru-Mond — Mr. Steigerwald, S125; Mont-Poon —Mr. Marston, MH118; Prip-Schm — Mr. Reidelberger, PAC 218; Schn-Sull — Dr. Turille, S313; Sund-Zoph — Dr. Sheehan, PAC 237.

Drop-Add Day for those who have paid fees will be Friday, Dec. 10, in the Admissions and Records Office, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Drop-Add day is intended for those students who wish to correct programming and sched-uling errors made during regis-tration.

Joseph P. Emanuel, recently elected Chairman of the Faculty Senate, has issued an invitation for interested students to attend Senate meetings.

Elected to the three year term of office Sept. 23, Professor Emanuel believes that a close cooperation should exist between the student and faculty senates in promoting policies to insure that a high degree of quality edu-

Debaters sweep St. Thomas meet

The WSC Debate Team now has maintained its perfect seas-onal record in intercollegiate competition.

Tuesday, Oct. 19, six members of the team won the tournament at St. Thomas College, St. Paul. Jerome Christianson and Ruth Greden were awarded the trophy for their 3-0 record, while the teams of Kevin Brooks and Tim Stoltman, and Rafik Kahn and John Capron posted 2-1 victories.

The debaters will again chal-lenge St. Thomas next Wednes-day.

Picture a hushed concert hall. On the podium at the rear of the stage, a jazz group with its bulky set of drums. The piano picks up the classical Bach melody. Under it, the counterpoint is the un-mistakeably modern beat of a jazz bass. Now, in the audience, howls of joy and the unleashed accalamation of a public over-come.

This isn't the set-up for the op-ening shot of a Frank Sinatra movie. It's Play Bach with the Jacques Loussier Trio. The scene takes place wherever Jacques Loussier, his percussionist, Chris-tian Garros, and bassist, Pierre Michelot, walk out on a stage to play — Tokyo, London, Sidney, Bangkok, and especially in their home town, Paris, France.

And now — the United States.

cation is maintained at Winona State.

The Faculty Senate, authorized under the college's constitution, is required to represent faculty interests in administration policy formulation. It is composed of twenty members elected at-large from the faculty members of the Arts and Science division, the Education division, and includes Administration, representation. Although all departments of the college divisions are not repre-sented, due to limitation on the size of the senate, representation is proportional to the number of members within the division.

At present, there are six rep-resentatives from Education, ten from Arts and Sciences, and four from Administration. Ex-officio members of the senate are the president of the college, Dr. Du-Fresne, and Dr. Warner, Vice-President for Academic Affairs.

Meetings of the Faculty Senate are held in the Student Union at 4 p.m. on second and fourth Thursdays each month and will be covered by the Winonan. The senate is scheduled to meet to-day.

The toughest audience of all. People who have attended clas-sical concerts for years and ex-perienced world renowned per-formances. And those who only like what television offers as long a s at least one instrument is plugged in and twanging.

Having been exposed to so much, an American audience's acceptances is critical. When a "live" performance moves them, they are also the most receptive. It's worth it to an artist. Bach purists marvel at the virtuosity of Loussier's pianistic technique. Jazz buffs "dig" the way the Trio's improvi-sation takes off at today's speed without ever offending Bach's own frame of reference. At the

Varsity band needs blowers

Every Monday evening at 7 p.m., in the Performing Arts Center, the students of this cam-pus are provided with a means of putting their musical interests to use. The Varsity Band presents an opportunity for all students who have at some time played a musical instrument to rekindle their enjoyment of this activity.

The band is conducted by Dr. Richard Lindner and meets in the instrumental rehearsal room of P.A.C. Membership in this activi-ty is open and now fluctuates from 30-35. If the growth contin-ues, there is a possibility of offer-ing the activity for credit.

A number of school instru-ments are available to the stu-dents and everyone is encour-aged to join. For a worthwhile and enjoyable time, all interest-ed students should come to P.A.C. Monday at 7 p.m. and blow the dust out of the old horns.

American Debut at Carnegie Hall, there was a standing ova-tion after the first twenty min-utes.

On Nov. 4th at 8:15 p.m. on the stage of the Performing Arts Au-ditorium at WSC, audiences will have their first opportunity to hear the provocative perform-ance of Play Bach with The Jacques Loussier Trio presented here on its second U.S. tour of 30 cities.

Free tickets for the concert will be distributed at the College Union Office beginning Nov. 1. These tickets will be given on a first come, first served basis. Two tickets will be allotted each student, faculty member, and other employees of the college. An I.D. will be required to attain the tickets.

SMC hits for anti-war demonstration

With endorsements, pamphlets, buttons and pleas, two organizers from the Student Mobilization Committee (SMC) cajoled, plead-ed, and argued for support of the Nov. 6 anti-war demonstration held Oct. 21. The organizers ar-gued the case for the demonstra-tion march Nov. 6 from the Uni-versity of Minnesota in Minnea-polis to the Capitol in St. Paul.

The organizers claimed the march had the endorsement of Gov. Wendell Anderson, the Min-neapolis City Council and the leaders of the major labor groups of the Twin Cities area, stated that the march is to be one of many which will be held in 26 major cities around the country on Nov. 6.

WSC students present at the meeting pledged support for the march and also suggested that Winona State work in conjunc-tion with the schools in La Crosse in obtaining transportation to the march. The WSC students stated they would acquaint all of the area schools with the march and petition the Student Senate and possibly the Winona City Council for endorsement in support of the march.

Down the barriers .. . by Jim Johnson

The mid-terms are done with and the comments on the tests and teachers are being voiced in the SMOG and other places. It takes a while to dope out an in-structor — get the feel of his tests and his teaching — and to form something more than the original impression of him. After the mid-term, when one has the opportunity to compare the test and what was really taught and whether the instructor had an in-terest in preparing his students for the test, one has a pretty fair idea of the teacher's capability.

Some are outstanding in the service they render the student, others are acceptable, while there is a small minority, as in any enterprise, who would doubt-less do a much better job at say, driving a garbage truck.

WSC is drawing up a new con-stitution this year and one of the thornier items of consideration will probably be the question of tenure. Tenure, the permanent possession of an office or posi-tion, is a right granted to proven faculty members of an education-al institution to protect the facul-ty member from a corrupt ad-ministration. The faculty mem-ber has a guarantee that he will not be fired without cause (and it has to be a mighty cause in most cases) for not toeing the ad-ministration line.

Tenure is a noble idea — there must be academic freedom to promote a free society and the values of freedom in the educa-tional system. An instructor must have the freedom to hold the evils of his society to the light for examination. Tenure helps prevent reprisal against t h e honest spokesman.

Perhaps some day we will be blessed with an open, honest so-ciety where merit, rather than politics or personality or educa-tional level, will determine posi-tion in the academic world. Until that time comes, we feel that tenure is the lesser of evils and should be maintained.

Tenure is an evil to the extent that it protects the incompetent and perpetuates his evil influence on the lives of his students. No tenure, however, is a greater evil in the fear that corruption can generate. Our teachers must be free from fear to speak of truths if they are capable and so de-sire.

Tenure, affecting the teacher directly, also affects the student if it harbors the baddies. We feel the new constitution should, in dealing with tenure, protect both the instructor and the student who is subjected to the tenured

instructor: protection for the in-structor by having definite terms for the acquisition of tenure, pro-tection for the student by allow-ing his voice to be heard when it comes to grant tenure. We would suggest inclusion of stu-dents on the existing Appoint-ment, Promotion and Tenure Committee to represent those who have the most at stake when an individual is granted tenure.

The students at this college pay for the privilege of attaining a quality education. If the quality of course instruction should ap-proach such negative levels that the students of a particular in-structor feel that their time was utterly wasted, then the students should have recourse, should have the right to voice legitimate grievances against a particular instructor, and should have their voices heard at administrative levels.

Machinery exists that could be modified to this end, or a sepa-rate student grievance commit-tee could be established. We be-lieve the student voice has a right to be heard in the matter of fac-ulty tenure and promotion. The students are the one most helped or hurt by the continuation of faculty members at this college. We have the right to participate in our future.

Grievance committees, to this end, have been established on other college campuses. It is time we had one here.

TO THE EDITOR: The city elections are coming

up this fall, the primary next month and the election in De-cember. I hope that there will be some students who will run for the mayor's and council seats. I spoke with several stu-dents over the summer who said they planned to run, and I hope they are still intent on do-ing so. I had planned on doing it myself until I found out I would have to be out of town this fall.

There is a problem with voter registration which I will touch on later, but first I will describe the possibilities, on which I have done a little research.

Winona has six councilmen: one from each of four wards and two elected at large. The WSC dorms are in the second ward, fourth precinct, and a majority of WSC students, I'm sure, live in the second ward.

In June of 1971 there were 12,085 registered voters in Wi-nona; 3275 in the second ward. In the last city election, 1969, only 1792 people voted in the en-tire city — 249 in the second ward. That seat was uncontested, but the interesting figures are for the fourth ward, where there was a closely contested race: in that race, only 865 voted out of 2669 registered voters. That means that less than one-third of those eligible voted, and about the same can be expected to vote in 1971. Fewer than 10% voted in the uncontested races.

Therefore, if we were all reg-istered, we could have twice as many votes as were cast in the entire city in 1969.

A good indication of our strength in the second ward is that in 1969, when the age re-quirement was 21, the second ward had the largest population, yet the lowest voter turnout of the four wards.

Thus I think the possibilities are obvious — WSC could easily control the second ward, St. Mary's and St. Teresa's could well control the first ward, and the students of all three could control the two at-large seats and the mayor's seat.

Certainly, if a student were running for office, some of the

TO THE FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION:

In my experience as a student here and at other schools, I've noticed what seems to be a bar-rier between students and facul-ty. This barrier has, in a major-ity of the cases, been placed there by administrative doctrine and/or by the teacher's willing-ness to have that barrier there.

Some excuse the use of a bar-rier with the idea that it makes teaching "more efficient." Others feel that some kind of barrier is necessary so a teacher won't be-come "too involved" with his stu-dents.

To these excuses and many others, I say it is my belief that they are seriously wrong. The use of a barrier as a tool for ef-ficiency is at best a cover for their fears of inadequacy. A bar-rier allows a teacher only to act as an aloof, unquestionable au-thority to whom students are to be subservient. I submit that a good teacher does not need to fear being questioned; just the opposite — he welcomes it as a sign of interest.

Implied in the efficiency ex-cuse is the use of a barrier to maintain "order." This use of a barrier is the worst because it allows teachers to take the easy way out of maintaining a con-structive atmosphere in their classes. My substitute for the barrier-type of order is the per-sonal respect that a teacher generates in his students, not something he demands or ac-

townsfolk would get upset and turn out in large numbers, but I doubt that enough would turn out to make our vote ineffective. Furthermore, if we did not put up a student for office, we could at least elect those who are in sympathy with those things which concern us, for example cleaning up and preserving what is good in Winona.

What is necessary, I believe, is to get a court order directing the city clerk to register all those who meet the require-ments. There are several new young lawyers in Winona who might be persuaded to help —but time is running short. This issue is currently in the courts in 27 states, and three states have already ruled on it: all favorably.

To calm the fears of those who may worry about a student take-over of Winona, The Christian Science Monitor said, "Where adult students (even 'radical' ones) have had an active role in local politics, as in Berkeley, California, there is no evidence that they have performed ir-responsibly.

"One hopes that they will con-tinue to vindicate their right to vote by voting not only massive-ly but wisely."

Outstanding Chemistry freshman selected

Dr. R. C. Houtz, acting Chair-man of the Chemistry Depart-ment, announced that Mark Wurm has been selected as the department's 1971 outstanding freshman.

Wurm, who maintained the highest G.P.A. f o r freshmen chemistry students last year, was chosen on the basis of depart-mental recommendation to re-ceive the Freshman Chemistry Academic Achievement Award sponsored by the Chemical Rub-ber Publishing Co. The Pine City, Minn., student also received a copy of the Handbook of Chemis-try and Physics from the com-pany.

tively seeks after, but something achieved and freely given. The order in such a class may de-mand the utmost from a teacher but it's more constructive and longer lasting than any other method I know of.

The feeling that a teacher must not become "too involved" with his students is one that, I believe, is seriously lacking in duty. I hold that it is a teacher's duty to reach out to his students — to help open their minds and enrich their lives. A teacher should help a student, not prop him up only to fall when the prop is removed. A teacher can help a student find the strength to continue through life being a true and open per-son.

Michael C. Thiem WSC Senior

by the Black Student Union The major goal of the rap ses-

sion held Sunday, Oct. 24, was to clear up all mythical ideas that one might have about black people. The rap session was held in order to bestow upon whites a clearer enlightenment. Hope-fully and inevitably we tried to describe to those who attended the social problems and condi-tions that blacks must face — not only in their own environment, the "ghetto," but also in the white metropolitan environment.

Life for the black man in a white society is a difficult and desperate struggle. In order to survive, the black man must make a big adjustment. He must be capable of adapting to the so-cial, political, and academic sys-tems of the white man.

The black man in the "ghetto" must face terrible living condi-tions. Economically he is raped, politically he is cheated, and so-cially he is condemned. Who could say that they would be ca-pable of surviving in a commun-ity infested with rodents and the common "household bugs?" Who could sleep in an apartment with poor heating, broken windows, and walls and ceilings that look like they are about to collapse at any moment. Tell me which of

The Commencement Committee will meet ATTENTION SENIORS:

The Commencement Commit-tee plans to meet on Nov. 8, 1971, to begin planning for the 1972 graduation activities. Due to the extent of complaining by last year's seniors, I feel it is neces-sary to give the graduating sen-iors this opportunity to express their views on graduation.

If you have any suggestions re-garding graduation, now is the time to bring them forward. Con-tact your student representa-tives on this committee. They are: Steve Allbee (457-2185, sen-ate office, or 452-2919), Les Foran (452-1376), and Len Whalen (454-3358).

UP & Co., along with St. Te-resa College, is sponsoring "The Agony of de-feet" dance marathon in the west cafeteria of the WSC College Union on Nov. 5, 6, and 7. The "Phreds" will be playing.

Dancing contestants must register between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Friday night. The dance begins at 8 p.m. The couples dancing the longest will re-ceive a $100 prize. Throughout the marathon, card and ping-pong tournaments will be held, as well as a kissing contest.

The marathon is free with presentation of college I.D. card. Rules and regulations governing the dance and all spectator events can be picked up in the UP & Co. office.

you could; which of you would? Politically you rig the polls and

bullshit us with your campaign speeches about what you'll do if you get the office. The "demo-cratic" system is as crooked as the righteous path to hell!

Economically you rob us blind. White businessmen enter the "ghetto" and charge ridiculously high prices for goods and mer-chandise which drain what little community wealth there is. Then he returns to the metropolitan community and distributes our little wealth to better that corn-munity.

Academically every black man suffers if he has experienced the "ghetto" life. T h e "ghetto" schools lack the sufficient funds necessary to support the school's expenses. The better qualified in-structors become reluctant to teach the students because of the inadequate pay. Even at early ag-es black students now lose the desire, alertness, and patience needed to be successful in life. The dropout rate is annually and steadily increasing in "ghetto" schools.

Then you expect us to believe that everyone is treated on an equal basis; you expect us to be-lieve that everyone receives a fair hand-shake! Think about it!

handling of the costumes and the make-up of the actors is under the supervision of Mrs. V. Fusillo. The entire production is being executed by Wenonah Players members assisted by the classes in Play Production 410 and Stage Craft 240.

The production will be done in traditional manner (with the ab-sence of stylization) patterned af-ter the Greek National Theatre presentation as seen by Miss Magnus in the ancient theatre of Epidarus, Greece. Costumes will be low key in hue, and lighting will be characterized by an ab-sence of color.

Acting is choreographed to em-phasize the statuesque, classic concept.

Are you interested in mak-ing history and history cours-es at WSC relevant? Would you like to take part in the new Renaissance of learning that is sweeping across other colleges? If you want to resur-rect the historical corpse and free the spirit, join the new History Club.

The participation of non-his-tory majors is especially en-couraged. Those interested contact S. Byman in Somsen 113A.

DEFENSE SPENDING AND A SEARCH FOR PEACE

by Roger Runningen WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 — It

will be a long time before we can fully assess the cost of the Vietnam War, but already we can sense the damage it has done to common sense about the rest of the U.S. military budget.

Because the government failed to contain a Communist insurg-ency in Southeast Asia, many Americans have come to believe that pure military power is an outmoded concept anywhere.

Although this is an appealing argument, it is demagogic.

The truth is that few Ameri-cans of any political coloration favor military spending for mili-tary spending's sake, but the soaring costs of the Defense De-partment should be troubling to even the most patriotic Ameri-can.

One • of the toughest guardians of U.S. military strength here in Congress is Texas Democrat George H. Mahon, chairman of the House Appropriations Com-mittee.

Commenting on the biggest part of last year's defense bud-get, he said that "this country has every right to expect that the appropriation of $66 billion will provide formidable military forces."

The Texas Democrat made that statement just after the fore-cast was out from Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird that the U.S. must spend no less than $80 billion if we wish to remain No. 2.

What this nation really needs is Congressmen like Mahon who have the courage to urge strong negotiating positions yet being able to cut defense expenditures. The American taxpayer has ev-ery right to insist on more de-fense for the dollar, not more dollar for defense.

Those that favor increased de-fense spending for the sake of this nation's security believe that the effectiveness of the Defense Department can be measured solely in terms of the dollar level of expenditures.

This is not entirely so. Un-limited resources do not over-come inefficiency and misman-agement.

One of the potential presiden-tial candidates recently declared that "those who favor a tough negotiating position will get a tough response."

But the exact opposite has been true when this country has been genuinely strong as in the Cuban Missile Crisis or in West Berlin.

The central point is this: no American wants to pay one pen-ny more than he has to for

Views

t h e nation's military budget. But if we go after that budget with a mindless meat -axe, if we spend one penny less than we have to, the damage it will do to this nation and this world will be permanent indeed.

An intelligent search for an en-during peace, be it in Middle Europe or the Mid-East, still re-quires the weapons to back up our word.

It is not a pleasant truth for any of us; but wishing it were otherwise won't make it any less SO.

Draft help offers legal information

Winona Draft Help will have counselors on duty every Wed-nesday from 1:15-4:00 p.m. at the United Campus Ministry office in the basement of Prentiss-Lucas Hall. Appointments for the ser-vice can be made by contacting Rev. John Preston, United Cam-pus minister, at 454-3669. He will also maintain office hours which will be posted at the office.

Winona Draft Help offers legal information to draft registrants and counsel with regard to con-scientious objection.

Dr. David MacLean of they Minnesota Department of Ag-riculture will give a free pub-lic address on population con-trol in the west cafeteria of the WSC College Union next Tuesday, Nov. 2, at 7:30 p.m.

MacLean, who is director of the Department of Agricul-ture's Laboratory Services Di-vision, will appear under the auspices of the WSC Political Science Club. He will have as his topic, "Two is Company, Three is a Crowd, Seven Bil-lion is a Disaster."

They have posted "no vacan-cy" signs here at Winona State College this fall, in contrast to other Minnesota state colleges where off-campus living is still in vogue.

Non-use of student residence halls and the resulting loss of in-come continues to nag most col-lege administrators, but Presi-dent R. A. DuFresne and his aides seem to have come up with some answers to the prob-lem.

A year ago, the college closed down one dorm and functioned for the year with only about 83 per cent occupancy of its six residence buildings.

The current academic year be-gan September 16 with full occu-pancy and a lengthy waiting list for dormitory accommodations. Why the switch? Winona State housing director Maurice Mari-ner thinks part of it is attitudinal. "On-campus living," he feels, "is less crowded, more congenial and more flexible for students, and offers greater privacy."

Richards hall, the dorm that was empty last year, opened this fall on a co-educational, room-only basis. Men and women who are juniors or seniors, or at least 21, live on separate or par-

titioned floors in the four-story building.

Additionally, they are not re-quired to pay for cafeterial ser-vice, since the college is provid-ing central kitchens equipped with gas stoves, and portable re-frigerators which are available for rent.

Eighty-three percent of the 129 upperclass men and women re-

siding in Richards opted for the room-only plan, according to Mariner.

Another departure from the past — availability of housing contracts on a quarterly basis —applies to all six dorms at Wino-na State.

Other attractions built into the Richards plan include:

4 WINONAN

October 28, 1971

Although Winona State's War-riors showed a much improved offense in their game last Satur-day against St. Cloud, they once again failed to reach the score-board, in a 28-0 setback.

Halfway through the first per-iod, sophomore running back Em-ery LaPointe, scored the first of his three afternoon touchdowns. Less than a minute later, La-Pointe scored from 55 yards out

Winonan offering chance to talent

WHAT IS A NEWSPAPER? A newspaper means many dif-

ferent things to people. For some it is of value as a communica-tions vehicle, for others an en-tertainment medium, and sadly, with some justification, all too often suitable for use as a gar-bage wrapper.

The Winonan, all too often in the past, has neglected its pri-mary concern: communication of the students, by the students, and FOR the students. It has been referred to as a "house-organ," similar to the petty little blurb that comes with the monthly phone bill, and there is basis for this.

Student funds pay for the pub-lication of this newspaper. It is your money, not administration funding, that makes this possible. And as such, the paper must be, and must reflect, the voice of the student. We believe that the purpose of a student newspaper is to com-municate with each other, to bring to light the evils that in-fect our system.

Some very talented people are on this campus. They have some-thing to say, and they are ca-pable of communicating their concerns with their fellow stu-dents. This is the place to do your thing!

Our offices are in 101 Phelps. Our phone number is 457-2158. We have something for you, and you have something for us. We'll be glad to see you. Drop in.

No other Minnesota state col-lege offers room-only contracts for an entire dormitory during the school year, an aspect of the Richards plan that was blessed by the Minnesota State College Board.

Proportionately, more women than men have returned to cam-pus at Winona State this fall. This has put some strain on lo-cal landlords who in recent years have "feminized" their rental units because women were more prone than men to re-side off-campus.

As a result, there are quite a few "vacancy" signs around the city.

to give the Huskies a 14-0 lead. Warrior freshman quarterback

Rick Ernst, in his first start, then moved the ball from the Winona 19 to the St. Cloud 5 before a pass interception stopped the Wi-nona drive.

The Huskies then marched 90 yards and scored from 4 yards out, giving them a 21-0 lead. The final score of the afternoon came when defensive end, Jim Walker, picked off an Ernst pass and ran it back 35 yards for the touch-down.

The second half was a great defensive effort by the Warriors, as they managed to keep the Hus-kies from scoring again. Paul Swanson recovered a fumble on the Winona fourteen yard line to crush the Huskies' only real threat of the half.

One of the reasons for the much improved offense was due to a step-up in the passing game, with Rick Ernst completing 16 of 48 attempts.

Next week Coach Keister's squad travels to Menomonie for a non-conference game against Stout State.

Women win on nets and water

The women's intercollegiate volleyball team traveled to River Falls on Thursday, Oct. 21, for their second game of the season. The "B" team won 3 out of 5 games with Barb Schutt serving 14 consecutive points to give WSC the game and match. The "A" team also won 3 out of 5 games.

The next game will be tonight at 6:30 p.m. in Memorial Hall against Mankato State. On Satur-day, Oct. 30, they will travel to St. Cloud.

The intercollegiate swim team defeated River Falls with a close score of 52-51. Their next meet will be tonight against Mankato and La Crosse starting at 6:30 p.m. Spectators are welcome and the meet will be televised on Channel 3.

The Wenonah Players' dedi-cation of the Dorothy B. Mag-nus Open Stage Theatre will be shown on Channel 3 Nov. 1st, at 5:30 p.m. The Nov. 16th dedication was captured on videotape for this TV presen-tation.
