Ruth -left Whitewater with a 3.84 grade point average despite the fact that she often had little or no time to study. "I studied on weekends and between classes," said Ruth. She credits the university's Child Care center, the patience of her professors, and the encouragement of her family for getting her through her three years at UW-Whitewater. "If it weren't for the Child center, I wouldn't have made it. Chris Barrett (the center director) was extremely helpful," she pointed out.

The employee obtained the note and the leave was authorized by another supervisor. Tapio reportedly said if it had come back to him, he would not have authorized the leave.

The Chain of Lakes-Fox River commission recently toured the plant to assess its impact on the water quality levels in the Chain of Lakes and the Fox river.

The new plant has, or will, replace several sanitary treatment facilities and for the first time will allow hundreds of homes along the lakes to tie into the sewer plant and stop using septic systems, many of which are not totally functional. "The plant is very im­ pressive," commented Senator Jack Schaffer, Chairman of the Chain of Lakes-Fox River com­ mission. "It is particularly reassuring", he continued, "for those of us who live down river from the plant to see the quality of the operation and the safeguards built into this system.
