In addition to distributing fasteners, Fastenal incorporated a Wi- nona Manufacturing Division back in 1982 which deals in all types of threaded fasteners.

No, you can't! You can't pay tuition with a credit card. Yes, you can buy books. But I know more than a few students that can't use their credit cards to buy books because they maxed out their cards last quarter when they went to the Mega Mall for a weekend. "It's a life saver in an emergency," the Credit Card Guy says. Oh I know, it's good for emergencies. But let's be honest with ourselves, the line between what is an "emergency" and what is a "luxury" becomes awfully blurred when the "Buy-now-pay- BIM SKALA BIM SON VOLT VARIOUS THAT DOG later" carrot is dangled before you.

Mike Welch: The Juice squeezes action

By Anna L. Derocher Sports Editor Have you ever wondered how many people actually play baseball for the Winona State University Warriors? If you walk around campus, youmay think there are 300 or so members on the team by the number of baseball jackets donned by people. In actuality, there are only 35 members who play varsity ball. Mike Welch, right fielder for theWarriors doesn't wear his jacket around campus--only to and from practiceand during games. "When I was a freshman, I thought it was cool to wear a jacket," Mike said. "But now there are too many people with them." Mike said those jackets are a good way for the team to raise money to go on trips and that is all right by him thatthere are so many baseball jackets floating around. Believe it or not Mike had neverplayed organized baseball until he was a freshman in high school. The Milwaukee native said it washard to get into a baseball league so he started playing softball because his dad played sever) nights a week when Mike was little. He also used to play a game called'Sti ikcout" with his friends which consisted Rachel McConnell/staff photographer of a big "X" drawn in a rectangular box.If the pitcher got the ball inside the box,
