UWP, KENOSHA 3700 WASH IN RY CAMPU CfrON BD, Parkside as UW Unit By MATT POMMER Special Correspondence Kenosha News MADISON — The Parkside and Green Bay campuses should continue to be part of the University of Wisconsin, the Governor's Commission on Education recommended today. But the commission noted that no graduate programs should be established on the new campuses. In a preliminary report to Gov. Warren Knowles, the commission recommended the establishment of a state-wide education board to oversee all aspects of public instruction. Although the existing board of regents would continue under the commission's recommendation, the new state-wide board would investigate the merging of the University of Wisconsin and the State University Board of Regents, the report said yesterday. In discussing the Green Bay and Parkside campuses the commission said: "The Commission has noticed that the legislation establishing the Green Bay and Parkside campuses of the University of Wisconsin conceived them to be undergraduate institutions, emphasizing programs that serve the special needs of their respective areas. The Commission further notes that important new concepts of undergraduate education are being developed on these young campuses under the nurture of the University of Wisconsin. The Commission believes that emphasis on excellence in undergraduate education is a worthy mission in itself; indeed excellence has been achieved by many public and private institutions that do not have graduate schools." The commission, headed by retired Neenah industrialist William Kellett, assailed the move toward "full scale graduate education" on the new campuses. It charged that the Parkside and Green Bay move toward graduate education exceeded the statutory mandate and guidelines established by the Coordinating Council for Higher Education. "The Commission recommends, therefore, that the legislative intent in the establishment of the Green Bay and Parkside campuses be strictly followed, and that these two campuses be retained as experimental colleges of the University of Wisconsin on condition that they remain within established guidelines," the preliminary report said. The Kellett Commission also urged creation of an ability-to-pay undergraduate tuition plan for all public institutions and a $109 million property tax relief program. Specifics of the preliminary Kellett report included: • Boosting local property tax relief for elementary and secondary schools by $77 million annually. • Having the state absorb all costs of the state technical school system, reducing property tax by $32 million annually. • Placing undergraduate tuition on an ability to pay basis, with the state making grants to the students depending on their family income. • A two-year grant program for Wisconsin residents attending graduate school within the state. • Categorical aids to private and parochial schools. • Removal of legal regulatory and fiscal impediments to shared time and released time programs for parochial schools. t Creation of a special education fund to "provide a full educational opportunity for children with special needs," including a $57 million pilot program. 0 Creation of a state education board, composed of 19 members, that would coordinate all education 0 Creation of a Board of Regents to run the technical schools, and continuation of the existing Boards of Regents of the Wisconsin State Universities and the University of Wisconsin. 0 Creation of a Citizen Board of elementary and secondary education which would appoint a state superintendent of public instruction. 0 A constitutional amendment to remove the state superintendent's post from statewide general elections. 0 Creation of a "universal" school, based on the model of extension services already offered in the state. At a press briefing today, Kellett said he expected the recommendation to trigger widespread public discussion. The Commission's final report is expected next fall. "We're hopeful that this is not political campaign fodder," Kellett said. "The grass roots aren't going to be wrong when they're informed. This is a guideline for the people of Wisconsin to be involved in decision-making," he said. Kellett refused to put a general tax price tag on his recommendations. Included in the local property tax relief are recommendations for eliminationg the per capita flat aid relief for property rich districts and increasing the guaranteed valuation in other districts to $51,000 per pupil. The recommendations also suggest creation of not more than 10 regional boards which would replace the current cooperative educational services agencies, (CESA). UW-Madison Experimental Holds Seminar Madison, Wis.-(I.P.)- The University of Wisconsin is offering a distinctively different program for under graduates this semester. A new experimental freshman seminar is being conducted in student living areas. "Man, Science, and Society," the seminar-program designed and implemented by a faculty-student committee appointed by Chancellor Edwin Young, plans topics not treated in regular courses. Such an offering is usually limited to seniors and graduate students, and then held in classrooms. Seven sections accommodate 15 students each, and are held in Ogg Hall, a men's residence complex. Content of the seminars is determined by the mutual interests of the participants and each professor. The pass-fail system will be employed. During the initial experimental stage, seminars will be open only to the residents of Ogg and the women's tower of nearby Witte Hall. As the seminars are not under a particular department or college, the two credits awarded in the course may count toward the total number of elective credits required for graduation. A student may take the course more than once because Andrew Van de Ven, a head resident and co-chairman of the committee pointed out, "under the umbrella of 'Man, Science, and Society, with the various topic areas covered in each section, every semester, with different professors, never will one topic area ue covered twice by the same man. "Here's how the program originated: The seminars were introduced to interested students through a series of meetings with the course's faculty of seven volunteer professors. The faculty presented specifically its areas of interest and its philosophy of the course," Van de Ven said. "The students, in turn, indicated in which section they were interested, then met with the professor who was to conduct that section, and finally handed in a onepage paper indicating their specific concerns. Seminar examples: "One professors section deals mainly with organizational behavior. This includes matrix organization, 'open' systems, sensitivity training, and others. Another seminar attempts to build an elementary understanding of basic biology for non-science majors in terms of the understanding required of an enlightened citizen or future community leader." A seminar built around the basic theme of "The Artist as Social Critic," discussing the role of the artist and the sense of beauty in conflict with social structure and the scientific-technological revolution. The idea of the seminars grew out of several meetings between Chancellor Edwin Young, Van de Ven, and Ogg House fellows who discussed the problems of students. If the pilot program is effective, Chancellor Young will appoint a permanent committee to assume responsibility for all aspects of the course. This includes recruiting volunteer faculty willing to giving the course time above and beyond their departmental responsibilities. "The problem is one of faculty rewards," Van de Ven said. "Rewards have traditionally been made vialble at the departmental level. We hope a professor's involvement teaching outside the department in an interdisciplinary endeavor will be considered in the total teaching load." An evaluation study will be conducted throughout the semester. If the study indicates the course is successful, Van de Ven hopes it will be continued and expanded to other student living areas. Pre-Med E lects MLC P rogram Once again, Parkside's Modern Language Club is active. Last month, you remember, they ran the film version of Cervantes' "Don Quixote". This month, on Thursday the 19th, Mr. M. Wilson will tell of his experience as a Peace Corps teacher in the West African state of Camaroun. Hardly known in the U. S., Camaroun is a very stable and prosperous nation. Originally a German colony, it was divided between France and England after W. W. I. As a result, Camaroun is now a bilingual state. Mr. Wilson spent two years there with the Peace Corps. Teaching English at a school of over four hundred, he was the only white in the village for two years. Although a basic knowledge of a foreign language is necessary for membership in MLC, meetings are open to anyone. Attempting to promote cultural as well as linguistic understanding, the club invites everyone to what we feel will be a very interesting and worthwhile evening. Vivian to Speak on Black Capitalism A Chicago Black leader and former associate of Dr. Martin Luther King, the Rev. C. Tindell Vivian, will speak on "Black Capitalism" at 8 p.m. on Wednesday (March 11) in the Fine Arts room at the University of WisconsinParkside Kenosha campus. The talk is sponsored by the Parkside Lecture and Fine Arts Committee and is free to the public. Rev. Vivian currently is serving as: President of A Black Center for Strategy and Community Development, Inc., of Chicago, which Vivian calls "the first Black Center which will plan for the needs of a Black community and be under Black control with a Black staff of selected experts"; Coordinator of the Coalition for United Community Action, a group of 61 Black organizations which comprise Chicago's United Black Front; chairman of the Governing Council of the Institute of the Black World (formerly the Institute for Afro-American Studies), one of six elements of the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Center based in Atlanta, Ga. Grading Discussed The Parkside Pre-Meds met on February 25 for election of officers and movies covering pre-medical and medical school education. Douglas Devan was elected president, John Werwie, vice president, and Judith Geist, secretarytreasurer. The Pre-Meds began as a part of the Biology Club, which was organized during the 1968-69 school year with Dr. Anna M. Williams as faculty advisor. Of special interest to pre-meds last year were trips to Kenosha General Hospital and Southern Colony. This year there were enough students in pre-medical courses to form a separate organization, with Dr. Williams as advisor. Dr. Joseph S. Balsano is now the advisor of the Biology Club. The next Pre-Med meeting will be held on March 18 at 7:30 P.M. in Room 228, Greenquist Hall. Movies on the practice of medicine will be shown. All students interested in medicine are invited to attend. Cincinnati, Ohio-(I..P.)- "The grading system must be formed to fit the individual college or university," said Mr. Phillip Royse, who recently reported on the 3rd Annual Midwestern Regional Conference of Academic Affairs Administrations. "I look at grades as a means of communication." Asked if he sees any future for the "Nontraditional grading system" at Edgecliff College, Mr. Royse, assistant professor of education, replied: "The students will probably eventually force us into some type of experimentation with it." "Non-traditional grading" was o.scussed at the conference held at Michigan State University. Mr. Royse took part in the discussion "Experiences and Problems with Non-traditional Grading Systems". Michigan State University, Indiana University, University of Illinois and the University of Michigan were among the colleges and universities represented who have tried the "pass-fail system". As Mr. Royse reports, "all the members presented their ideas and variations of the system which they have tried. For the "Big Ten" schools the system is "old hat" because they have had it for four or five years but they still are not completely sold on it." Committee Speaks The Vietnam War Moratorium Committee of Parkside called on all interested students to attend an informational meeting recently. When the meeting started, four interested people were present and 'four others came in late. The person in charge apologized lor not knowing much, and the meeting began. The group is an independent organization of Parkside students. It has no national affiliation, but has cooperative agreements with the Racine, Dominican, Carthage and Kenosha groups. The chairman is Mike Lofton and the faculty advisor is Henry S. Cole. The Parkside Vietnam War Moratorium Committee is formed to develop participation in a series of monthly peace activities. The committee proposes a peaceful and legal program which could include distribution of literature, setting up seminars, raising funds, organizing marches and petitioning. These activities will be directed toward the ending of U. S. military involvement in Vietnam. The committee will encourage activities in line with this purpose but will respect the will and conscience of individual members. The Moratorium Committee asks for popular support for an immediate end to the war. Their main concern isJ or s ^° and student involvement not city actio> . The group believes the use of th Moratorium is the main tool toward gaining their end. In the plans for the future is a plan for a Panel Discussion about the war. The pla are tentative, but hopefully, it willI occur soon. The discussion will have both proand-con opinion toward the war, and will have a question and answer period at th CIThe membership is open to every Parkside student. To gain full membership and voting privileges, a membership fee of 50 cents is charge. Membership is now estimated at up to 30, of which 12 are very active. Some Parkside Committee members are also members of one of the other four Moratorium Committees in the area. . The Parkside Moratorium Committee is hoping to gain student support. It is a young organization and has a problem in that not many students know about it. Prospective members are encouraged to come to meetings that are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of everv month, at 12:30 in the Tallent Hall Lounge. You don't have to be a member to attend meetings,and the Parkside Moratorium Committee encourages new ideas and new people. Parkside students are planning a project with high school students who have average to high potential but low motivation to develop scho ^™1 "£eded t0 More Parkside students are needed to help these students develop a higher motivation for high school suc ^ ^ working with a Parkside studenhParks^e .indents Will be prepared for the projee through use of resource persons and weekly information-discussion sessions All interested students are urged t0 attend a meeting on Thursday, March 12 at 12:00 noon in Room 216 Tallent Hall. If you are interested in the project but cannot attend the meeting, please contact Miss Echelbarger, Office of Student Affairs. Afro Major Offered Madison, Wis.-<I.P.)- The University of Wisconsin has joined Harvard among the first schools to develop a major in AfroAmerican studies. Letters and Science Dean Stephen Kleene's proposal includes a "model" curriculum, though actual courses and content will be determined by the department and go through the usual college curriculum channels. General requirements for majors in the new department will be the same as for other majors in the College of Letters and Science. A student would take between 30 and 40 credits of Afro-American studies, with at least one course in each of the areas of concentration (history, culture and literature, and society). He would need at least 15 credits in one of the areas and at least 15 in advanced courses. The model curriculum lists 32 courses plus opportunities for advanced study. Included are: Introduction to Afro-American History, History of Racial Protest Movements in America, Afro-American Cultural and Intellectual Tradition, The Black Man in American Fiction, Afro-American Music, Afro-American Art, Discrimination and Prejudice in American Society, The Legal System and the Afro-Americans, and Strategies of Economic Development. All courses offered by the department would be open to any student with the proper academic prerequisites ... the proposal indicates an expected enrollment in all courses of between 1,200 and 1,500 the first year. This is expected to rise to between 2,100 and 2,400 by 1973-74. $1,000 to P arkside's Best Standard Oil of Indiana has made available to the student body $1,000 to award a teacher who, after student selection, is found to be "The ParksideTeacher". Means of selection of this teacher is left open entirely to the student body and is solely dependent upon the students' motivation towards a higher quality faculty. The sum awarded is large enough that a teacher can devote more time to the student-teacher relationship, instead of "moon-lighting" to supplement his income. The teacher will have to be one who has shown a past and overall interest in (1) his-her students and (2) an interest in the growth, quality and quantity of the student-teacher relationship as a means of expanding the academic process. Anyone — meaning a student, full or part-time — interested in discovering which teacher attracts, interacts with, and motivates his-her students, should contact any one of the three Student Affairs Offices either in person or by phone and leave their name and phone number with the receptionist. In case you can't find the phone numbers in the phone book, they are Kenosha ext. 42, Talent ext. 225, Racine ext. 25.

The proposal has the backing of the Nixon Administration and Senator John Stennis of the Armed Services Committee, and specualtion concerning a change in the draft system may be well-founded. Is the volunteer army practical and desirable? On the first score, the program's workability is debatable and can only be tested. America being in a unique position economically and population-wise, only giving the system a try can prove its effectiveness. In answer to the second question: whether a volunteer army is desirable, we must first realize that the present draft system is undesirable and does not satisfy the changing values of our generation. American youth, I trust, would gladly take up arms to protect their homes and families, but we have come to question the morality of overextending ourselves in brushfire wars involving pseudo-allies. Those of us who desire to participate in Vietnam should be well-paid upon volunteering and the others of us should retain the right to stay home if we disagree with the wisdom of a military conflict overseas. With this in practice, Americans will also be more directly affecting the foreign policy of their country, and taking the power of war-making out of the hands of the perpetual military-industrial complex. The "system" has committed us to a war the majority of Americans do not support. The legal establishment of an allvolunteer army can help curb errors like this in the future. The new draft system, inaugurated as Public Law 91, Nov. 26, 1969, w as placed into effect by President Richard M. Nixon. The system, as set up, accomplishes the following major improvements in draft selection procedures: 1) It reduces the period of prime draft vulnerability — and the uncertainty that accompanies this vulnerability — from up to 7 y ears, under the previous system, to only one year. 2) It establishes this vulnerability for a fixed time in each young man's life, which will be much less disruptive to him in terms of his personal planning. 3) It establishes a fair and easily understandable method of random selection among such young men, if they are found by their local boards to be available and qualified for service. Limited Vulnerability Under the previous draft procedure a young man began his time of maximum vulnerability to the draft at age 19 and, if he did not volunteer for the service, remained in that status until he was drafted or reached his 26th birthday. Selection of men in this age group who were found "available and qualified" for service by their draft boards was on an oldest-first basis. Under recent conditions of relatively high draft calls the age of involuntary induction has been low, averaging about 20'/2 years. However, when draft calls were much smaller, as they were during the early 1960s, the average draft age reached nearly 24 years. This created a long period of uncertainty for young men and handicapped many of them in attempting to get jobs or training This situation made it difficult for individuals to plan their lives intelligently. Under the revised system a "first priority selection group" is established which will normally constitute the only group from which men will be called involuntarily into service, other than those delinquent in their' obligations under the law, or medical, dental, and allied specialists (who are subject to special calls after they complete their professional training). Those registrants who are not selected for induction during their 12-month period of exposure will then be placed into a lower priority category and normally will not be vulnerable for induction except under the unlikely circumstance that the first priority group is exhausted. New Order of Call Under the new system, as under the previous procedure, the first priorities for induction in any draft board will consist of registrants who are delinquent in their responsibilities under the law (failing to register, etc.) and young men volunteering for induction. The principal or first priority selection group for involuntary induction will, however, be limited after 1970 (t he initial transitional year) to draft eligible men in their 19th year of age at the beginning of the year and to those men between the ages of 19 and 26 whose deferments expired during the year upon completion of school or for other reasons. The new procedure thus establishes a "youngest first" rather than "oldest first" priority for induction. This will result in a stable and predictable draft age period for each young man — either in the year following his attainment of age 19 or in the year after he leaves school or otherwise ceases to be deferred. In 1970, however, beginning with the draft call filled this month, this first priority group will also include all draft eligible men who are in the ages 20 through 25 at the beginning of the year, so that no individual eligible for induction under the previous rules will escape vulnerability simply because of the change in the new system. Random Selection Since more men are classified as available for service each year than are required to fill current or expected draft calls, a fair and understandable procedure is needed to determine whom to call first, whom to call second, and whom not to call at all. Under the authority of the recent amendment to the draft law, President Nixon has authorized the Director of Selective Service to place into effect a simple random selection procedure for this purpose, based upon a random sequence of the 365 or 366 days of each year.

This sequence will apply nationally to the order of induction to be followed by each local draft board this coming year. In the event that two or more men have the same birth date within a local board, their sequence of induction will be determined by the first letter of their names (last name and, if necessary, first name) which will be arranged in a random sequence as drawn last year. Draft eligibles in the first priority age group whose numbers have not been reached at the end of the year will be placed in a l ower order of call next year and will be vulnerable for induction only if the first priority group for next year is exhausted. Outlook for 1970 Young men who will be vulnerable for induction this year are asking questions: What are my chances of being drafted in 1970? The actual chances of being reached for induction for draft-eligible men with a given position on the birthdate list will depend upon many factors, particularly upon future military strength requirements as we progress in our efforts to Vietnamize the war and upon the rate of voluntary enlistments and re-enlistments. Any possible changes in draft deferment policies or procedures, resulting from the current reviews within the Administration or from Congressional reviews scheduled for this year could also affect this outlook. In view of the many uncertainties involved in estimates, the best judgement at this time is that registrants whose birthdays appear in the top one-third of the random birth date sequence will have a high probability of being drafted; those in the middle third, an average probability of being drafted; and those in the bottom onethird, a relatively low probability of being reached for induction.

The current revolution of American young people has brought•many important issues, previously hidden, into proper focus to the American people^ One of the most important is the desperate need for revaluation of America education, primarily on the college level. Universities have a two-fold responsibility as far as the education of our future leaders is concerned. First is the education in the form o c as ^ r study. It seems apparent that today's educators are primarily concerned with four aspects of their university professions. Their priorities m apparent orde of importance are research, first and foremost, Publication of their work second, educating our students a poor third, and fourthly, resP°" d g community demands. The dissenting young are constantly being told by tne establishment that their education (meaning classroom study) is most important. How can the student accept this idea when the professors fail to place the classroom anywhere but third on their list of priorities. These conflicting values obviated by the Establishement certainly give cause for student unrest on American campuses. We ask the educators to, as the adage goes, "practice what you preach". The second facet of education lies in communication and interaction, i ne communication is generally accepted. However, the recent statement by VicePresident Spiro Agnew, "effete corps of impudent snobs", reflects the attitude of many people in failing to acknowledge the importance of communication. The so-called generation gap itself results from a lack of communication. Parents and children must both be able to cummunicate with each other; communication is an important part of a rounded education. In our advanced society we are always involved in communication. Whether it is between parent and child, professor and student, husband and wife, or employer and employee, we must learn to communicate. Equally important in the American society is interaction. When a student enrolls in college, except in isolated cases, he is an adult. His level of maturity is assumed to be finalized. Since we continue to mature until death, no one can possess full maturity. The majority of college students have attained a maturity level equal to or greater than most people in the twenty- to thirty-year-old age bracket. The recent University of Wisconsin regents action of restoring hours for freshman women is an example of the lack of interaction on college campuses. 1968 brought San Francisco State, Oshkosh, and Columbia, to name a few, to the area of the modern campus disruptions. It was in 1969 that Madison continued, as usual, and Harvard had its student strike. These protests concerned themselves with some facet of the American educational system. All of the disruptions were staged after the established paths of discontent were crossed. Let us summarize by saying that college students are capable adults who have grievances about the educational system of America. When we, the students, gripe, the Establishment had better listen. The New Left are called Communists bent on destroying American capitalism. With some this is true, but let's not forget that it was a group of militant liberals revolting against the Establishment in 1776 that founded this country. We are not calling for a violent revolution, but many facets of the American society admittedly need reevaluation. Today's students are saying something and the Establishment needs to listen. The Revolution is here. It is in the hands of the Establishment as tc whether it will be violent or nonviolent. The Rule Is . . . David Dellinger, Rennie Davis, Thomas Hay den, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, John Froines, Lee Weiner, William Kunstler, and Leonard Weinglass. All were found in contempt of court. And all will remember Judge Julins J. Hoffman. The Judge does NOT like to be called "Mr."; he does NOT like laughing in HIS court; he does NOT like lateness, even if only twenty minutes; he does NOT like to be accused of sleeping at the bench; he does NOT like applauding in court; he does NOT like it when people don't rise for him; he does NOT like to be called a disgrace and compared to Hitler; he does NOT like people to stand when ordered to sit; he does NOT sanction moaning and groaning from the defense table. Etc., etc., etc., etcetera. Dellinger, Davis, Hayden, Hoffman, Rubin, Froines, Weiner, Kunstler Weinglass. How could they possibly forget such an honorable judge as Hoffman. How could anyone forget the man! Guest Editorial W h y T h e L a c k Of Concern There must be a reason — but surely not a logical one — why young adults have not launched a coordinated protest against known major causes ol highway accidents. Many young people are appaled at the thought of being drafted. Most young people react strongly against cases of social injustice. Most are understandably stirred and angered by pollution of the environment. In the meantime, however, the young are being swept, with surprisingly little protest on their part, into the maw of the traffic accident machine. Between the ages of 15 and 24, motor vehicle accidents are the greatest single cause of death, by far! Why youth's apparent lack of concern for their own? Why the absence of significant youthful protest against Wisconsin's "beer island" set-up? Where the reaction against that most dangerous of all drugs — alcohol, when used before driving? Why the naive vulnerability of youth to exploitation at the hands of the vendors of "muscle" cars and the various breeds of speed merchants? Why the youthful apathy, if not outright hostility, toward strict traffic law enforcement? It doesn't square!

To the Editor: We, the students of Parkside, would like to ask three questions. First. Do we have a student's Activities Committee? Second, are the people on the Committee elected or appointed? If they are appointed, who are they appointed by? We are not condeming the committee. They have planned some very good activities. They have, however, planned some events, that in comparison would make a wake look like a party. We are suggesting some sort of questionnaire, perhaps one that could be sent out, filled in by the students and then returned. That would create more involvement by the students thus the events would be better attended throughout the rest of the semester. "One step for the school, two steps for the students." A Student Bus Drivers" as a back up band. There is room for plenty of free parking and horse lovers can bring their horses — plenty of hay around. Another use suggested for this shelter could be a manger scene at Christmas. It's just about the right shape and we could even get all the animals inside. What with all the hay there would be no problem feeding them. One can hardly help wondering if we needed a bus shelter, why one so large? After looking at it you immediately think of t he rumored tuition raise, the proposed student union, and then can't help but think the money used to build the shelter could have been used in a better way. It all comes down to one thing — did w e really need this shelter? We seemed to survive all right without it. I just can't help hearing what my mother would say if she saw it. "A bus shelter! Why when 1 went to school . . ." Barb Backlund Appointment Bus Shelter Suggestions Dear Sir: If you've noticed anything around Parkside lately you will have seen a new building. It's referred to as a bus shelter. However, looking at the huge thing brings to mind other uses. With the amount of attendance at the school's dances we could hold them there. Just think — we could get various colored light bulbs, thereby attracting a lot of attention. As far as bands, we could get "The Planning and Construction Committee" and use "The The appointment of Ned Simkus as Director of Physical Plant at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside was approved Friday by the university board of regents. The appointment is effective April 1. Simkus brings considerable experience in new campus development to Parkside. He was chief facilities engineer for the Loyola University Medical Center in Chicago during the planning and construction of that $50 million complex from 1966-1968. Simkus comes to Parkside from Union Carbide in Chicago, where he has been manager of the automation and instrumentation department since 1968.

Connie Petersen Faculty Profile: Harry Walbruck "The American system of education is more realistic than Germany's. In Germany you still have that 'ivory tower' idea, just knowledge for knowledge's sake," said Dr. Harry Walbruck, German professor and language lab director at Parkside. Dr. Walbruck is very involved in making education (German in particular) become real to the student. He said that language is "not just a means in itself, not just a scientific study of grammar." In teaching German, he would like to "get away from the tedious through injection of interest." Proof that studying German can be fun comes from "our very fine students." To disprove the idea that one should study a foreign language for knowledge's sake alone, Dr. Walbruck pointed out, "Comparing a foreign language with our own American language makes us know our own language so much better. Comparing foreign cultures and literatures with our own, makes us recognize and appreciate our own so much more." He said that German especially has many "practical applications nowadays: in the Life and Earth Sciences, in art and music, etc." Dr. Walbruck stresses audio-visual aids in making his classes more interesting. He uses films, slides and tapes to bring the student closer to his learning. "I myself, I Bob Borchardt Record R eview: Swtam Looking over the last five years of {lock, on6 strong contrast becomes apparent. To illustrate, look at some of the old groups: The Yardbirds, The Animals, The Kinks, and even some of the older groups still around — Butterfield, Mayall, and until recently, the Mothers. All these groups had a definite common factor, they built around one or two men, their musicianship and their ideas. Yardbirds for example were kept going at different times by what could be called the three best leads in rock: Clapton, Beck and Page. Eric Burdon was so much a part of the Animals that eventually the group became Eric Burdon and the Animals. Butterfield has had many personnel changes over the years, but it's always been making records and it's always been Paul Butterfield Blues Band. The sidemen in these groups were in many cases musical extensions of the leader and in another way it could be said that the Mothers will always sound like Zappa, the Animals will always sound like Burdon, and so on. Now look at some of the new groups. B.S.&T. and Chicago self-admittedly have no leaders. Asking the names of the three singers in Three Dog Night would make a good $64,000 question, and if the Cuff Links have. a head man, it is not common knowledge. Hence, my point. Today, groups are brought together by ideas, not musicians. The idea of using a five man horn section has caught on, but it is the idea and not a man or group of men who put the idea across. Even as talented as Three Dog Night is, it is the idea of a three part vocal harmony that is their main appeal. In one group I have heard, though, has adopted an idea as original as any, and has combined the two properties to create the raw, basic and vital sound of SANTANA. It's the kind of group that you wish had about ten more albums out, and you could hear live every weekend. Their idea was in essence, to take a Walter Wanderly style organ, an, impeccable jazz guitarist, and set them both up by their standout element, a hot blooded Latin rhythm section, complete with congas, bongos, quiro, claves and the rest. The accent on rhythm makes the sound so primitive, so basic, that it shakes the plaster off the walls, while at the same time it is masterfully, perfectly contrasted by the strictly current improvisation on organ and guitar. The effect is imaginable, even predictable, but when you actually hear them doing it, it's slightly short of phenomenal. This is a group that must be heard live to get the full effect. Not that the album isn't that great, but to see these men playing their music live, smoldering, bursting into flame and finally exploding would be a rare experience. hated some of my professors because they were so dry," said Dr. Walbruck. He spoke of avoiding this at Parkside. "We make it life; we make it interesting, and the response has been very gratifying. We teach it in the modern Multi-Media way, that is, by not just reading and speaking it, but by also including modern films, slides and up-to-date, original recordings." He said that later this month "an AudioVisual Center will be added at Greenquist for individual assignments and Independent Study in the modern languages." Dr. Walbruck is "quite enthusiastic" about Parkside's future. He feels "we are the most forward looking university in the midwest. We are getting the finest modern equipment. We are free from any of the outdated old shackles of curriculum, and we are asking the student what he wants to learn and what we can do as teachers to help him." He spoke of a realistic outlook in education, not looking backward, but forward, saying, "Especially at Parkside we can do it." Discussing improvements for Parkside, Dr. Walbruck said, "We'd like to hear more from the students of what they really want." He stresses the importance of "making themselves heard about their needs and ideas." Yet he believes that students have begun to contribute in his classes. "I cannot really say I notice much apathy in the language program. Students are interested because we make it real. Many of our students report in class about their travel experiences in the Germanspeaking countries of Europe." Dr. Walbruck was born in Duisburg, Germany, a large industrial city which borders Holland. When he was a child, his father told him a story about biking into Holland, meeting his mother for the first time, picking her up, bringing her back to Germany that same day, and marrying her. Dr. Walbruck said that the German education system differs from America's because Germany is such a highly industrial nation. "High school is optional; only about 20 per cent attend." Most students go directly into learning a skilled trade. He thinks that the American system offers "more justice and more options to the individual." Dr. Walbruck earned his Ph. D. in journalism and literature from the University of Munich. He then worked as a journalist and taught at the Berlitz School for Foreign Languages. He also translated some American novels into German. In 1953 Dr. Walbruck, his wife and their daughter moved to the United States. His daughter, Ilona Paul, now teaches German part-time at Parkside. She has coauthored two German textbooks with her father. Dr. Walbruck's hobby seems to play an important part in his life as a German instructor. He makes films, and in particular, German language films, for Parkside. He also writes and records the narration for these films. USE COLLEGIAN CLASSIFIEDS GALS! Short of funds? Here's a GREAT buy!

I m quite proud of our teams but as for the fans what can I say ? A sad case of apathy! Oh, there were a few ambitious people who attended many of the games but they could be counted on Coaches Stephens , H ein s, and Martinez's fingers. For your information, .239 percent of the student body signed up to go on the bus trip to Green Bay to watch our basketball team. Nieh showing! But speaking of fans, there's one who sticks out in my mind as a powerful influence on our fabulous guard, Jim Hogan. I'm talking about a petite, stately looking woman who lets him know when he's made a mistake or when he's made a good move it's his mother. She definitely cheers with her whole heart and encourages not only her son but also the rest of the team. Then there's the Perine family, Mrs. Stephens, Dean Dearborn, and various members of the athletic staff and faculty who turn out to see the team. Oh, we can't forget the girl friends who come to see their guys play! Why is it just a select few who have personal interests that back the team? Maybe next year the student body will realize that the teams belong to the school and there'll be a better turnout at our athletic events. With the turning of the seasons we'll get a new area of athletic endeavors. Spring sports such as track and field, golf, and tennis will be entering the limelight. There are also sports such as swimming, sailing, bicycling, bowling (attention "Fitz") open as intramurals if anyone is interested enough to round up people and present their idea to Coach Godfrey. I can still use suggestions for this column and help in covering sports. So if anyone is interested, please let me know. Any responses will be greatly appreciated. k —A\e\e> Cagers to Milton Parkside got a scare from stubborn Milton Saturday, but a pair of free throws by Jim Hogan in the closing seconds gave the Rangers a 75-73 victory and a winning record in their first season of varsity basketball. Steve Stephens' squad finished. 11-10 despite a series of suspensions and ineligibilities, and a schedule of 14 out of 21 road games. Hogan and frosh center Mike Madsen, saving his finest game for last, were the architects of the decisive 11th victory. Hogan made both free throws in a bonus situation with three seconds left to break a 73 tie. In the last 60 seconds Parkside stalled — ne arly too long — b efore calling time to set up the final shot. Hogan was fouled just as he caught the throw-in near mid-court. It was strange that free throws would provide the winning margin since Fencers Foiled CHICAGO — Michigan State upset the Ranger foilers 14 to 13 to hand the Rangers their fourth loss in 20 starts on February 28th in Chicago. The Rangers were behind early in the match when the sabre squad of John Zanotti, John Krumpos and Bob Orlakis, all had their troubles and individually went 1-2 fo r the day. The foilers then put Parkside down another point for the day as Grant Anderson and Keith Herbrechtsmeier went 2-1, but A1 Lo cante posted 0-3. The undefeated epee trio again won 6-3 b ut it was too late. Clark Anderson was 2-0 a nd Bruce Bosman and Paul Shemanske 2-1. Wayne Bosman, substituting for Anderson after the match had been decided was 0-1. Parkside nearly lost the game and Milton almost won it from the foul line. The Rangers made nine of twenty free throws and missed their first seven of the second half before Steve Hagenow made two to tie it at 69 with 2:30 left to play. Hogan, one of the best, had even missed four out of six before his last pair of throws won the game. Milton, by contrast, hit 19 of 23. Parkside also owes its win to the 6'8" Madsen, whom Stephens predicts will be one of the better small college centers in a couple of years. Madsen finished his first collegiate season with 25 points and 24 rebounds. With ten offensive rebounds, Madsen tipped, hooked and threw in shots from outside to the tune of eleven baskets.

The team defeated UICC 19-8 and MATC 22-5 with the eppeeists pulling through undefeated. Clark Anderson and Bruce Bosman accumulated 6-0 scores while John Hanzalik and Peter Shemanske were 3-0. Adding to the eppee score of 18-0, the foil team went 15-3. Each foiler, Grant Anderson, Keith Herbrechtsmeier, and A1 Locante was 5-1. The sabre team rounded off the score with a 9-9 mark. Bob Orlakis was 4-2, John Zanotti was 3-3, and John Krumpos was 2-4. These victories promise a good showing in the Great Lake's Invitational in Detroit Library Extends Its Grace The Library is changing its schedule of fines and charges. Now the basic fine is 10 cents a day. There is a five-day "grace" period during which no fine is charged. For a lost book, the Library will now charge the replacement cost, and the processing charge is reduced to $2. The reasoning behind this is to get books back on time. If you lose a book, report it to the Library right away, so that the fine will not continue to run against you. The complete information sheets are now available on the circulation counters of the three libraries. The Library hhs added to its staff a number of part-time employees to lessen the large back log . of uncatalogued material. Because V their efforts and those of others in the Catalog Department, we now see signs of improvement. We also have a new system called Information Dynamics. Ask* at the front desk if you want to •see how it works. The result of all this is that vacant shelves are at last beginning to appear here and there in the back rooms. On each of the three campus circulation counters there are now suggestion books. Write in your ideas for library improvement. In due time, the Library will write its answer. New magazines are coming in every day. Recent arrivals are: Punch, Encounter, and Partisan Review; Banking, and Journal of Economic Literature; Computers & Automation, Datamation, and Administrative Management. A record player is now available in the typewriter room of the main Parkside Library. Ask at the Circulation Desk. The Kenosha and Racine copying machines now have been loaded with 14" (rather than 11") paper, still for the 10 cent price. Bodies Beautiful The Greeks worshipped beautiful and physically fit bodies. In order to attain beautiful bodies, the Greeks went through rigorous training and sacrifice. Today we women stuff our "beautiful" bodies into girdles promising us to look five pounds thinner. Girdles that will hold in that sagging tummy. In the end we'll probably rationalize to ourselves that we could even add more pounds. That's the easy and foolish way to look thin. The key to a more healthy and nicer looking body is weight-lifting and exercise. Weight-lifting is not only for men at Parkside, but women also. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00-5:00, the weighttraining room is open for women to work out. You will be shown exercises to trim down that unwanted fat. You start out your exercises moderately, then build them up at your own rate. Unfortunately, this is harder than stuffing yourself into a girdle to look five pounds thinner. Muscles on a woman can be attractive if they are properly placed. When your muscles are firm, you look thinner because fpt will take up more space than muscle. But muscle weighs more because it is denser. Sports Shorts The Parkside weightlifters competing in the Intra-Mural contest last week set the school records (standards). The winners and their weight class and total pounds lifted are: Mark Granger (115), 725 p ounds Jim Shuemate (148), 860 pounds Joe Sielski (165), 1,005 po unds Tom Yore (181), 1,045 p ounds Mark Barnhill (198), 985 p ounds Mike Wade (242) 1,160 pounds Leonard Palmer (Super-Hvy.), 1,325 pounds Parkside B-ballers finished a winning season by beating Milton in a squeaker, 75- 73. The game was won in the last three seconds by Jim Hogan when he tossed in two free throws. Hogan also ended up as the top shot of the team for the year with a season average of 23.3. IM B-ball games scheduled for March 11, 12 and 13 have been called off because of the temporary closing of Memorial Hall. The games have been slated for play at the end of the current schedule. Coach Dick Frecka's tennis men will open their season on April 7, with a home match against Dominican. Also in action for the first time this year will be the Ranger trackmen. They will open up at the U. of Illinois track Club meet March 7, and travel to Whitewater the following Saturday. Grapplers Finished Out t he Year GREEN BAY—Concluding its wrestling season on a winning note, the Parkside grapplers closed their won-lost record at 3- 5 by defeating UW-Green Bay 26-13. Ranger points came on their only pin of the day, Jeff Jenkins (158) in 40 s econds and decisions by Jack Schwartz (150), 4-1, Bob Schweitzer (190), 8-3, Bill Benkstine (177), 11-3, and a 1-1 draw by John Wierzbicki (142), and forfeit wins by 167 and Heavyweight. The wins by Benkstein and Jenkins advances them into competition in the NAIA national championships March 12-15 in Superior. I've been lifting for three weeks, and already I can see a difference. I haven't lost any weight, but my clothes are looser. I'm not so flabby looking, and I feel 100 per cent better. In the long run, exercise is worth it. So come down to the weight-lifting room on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:00-5:00 and start looking like a human being, not a mound of flab. By the way, I threw my "five pounds thinner" girdle out. I don't need it any more. Uie LEADER b/oke DOWNTOWN/KENOSHM ELM WOOD PLAZA/RACINE on March 7. The Ranger Fencers will be doing battle with Notre Dame and Wayne State.

Thousands of substances contribute to the atmospheric mess man suffers. They pour out from the engines of 90 million vehicles, from the refuse of 200 million people, from the refineries, factories and businesses that yearly use billions of kilowatts of electricity. They are the by-products of civilization, these emissions that spread their poisons over the land. And the problems they cause proliferate even as man contemplates them. "Some of the adulterants have been known for centuries. Others are now being studied. Scientists recognize that large gaps in their knowledge still exist; many a secret ingredient may be unveiled in years to come. "Today, though, enough is known for us to identify and deal with a considerable number of these undesirables. Pollutant's State of Matter "Pollutants can exist as solid matter, liquid droplets, or gas. Both the solid and liquid matter are called particulates. "Coarse dust particles larger than 10 microns in diameter and fly ash composed of the impurities remaining after coal is burned settle out of the air quickly. They are, therefore, troublesome for the most part, only near their source. "Fume, dust, and smoke particles, ranging in size from under one up to 10 microns, travel farther, the distance covered depending mainly on their size. "Polluting particles are composed of a variety of substances from the myriad activities man undertakes. Because their size and, to a lesser degree, their state influence their behavior so greatly, they are often identified as follows rather than by their chemical names: "Smoke describes both solid and liquid particles under one micron in diameter. It can be produced during all forms of combustion and in such other processes as distillation, the removal of impurities from liquids by heating them to the boiling point and then condensing the vapors. The designation 'smoke' may include 'fume'. "Fume indicates the solid particles under one micron in diameter that are formed as vapors condense or as chemical reactions take place. Fumes are emitted by many industrial processes, including smelting and refining. "Dust is a more general term than fume. When solid particles are more than one micron in size, they are generally referred to as dust. Dust may be formed by natural attrition or in innumerable industrial and agricultural processes. "Mist is made up of liquid particles up to 100 microns in diameter. They may be released industrially in such operations as spraying and impregnating or formed by the condensation of vapor in the atmosphere or by the effect of sunlight or automobile exhaust. As mists evaporate more concentrated liquid aerosols are formed. 4 The Prevalence of Particulates "The urban atmosphere is choked with particulates. Los Angeles estimates its aerosol emissions from gas-powered vehicles at 40 tons a day. An average winter day in New York City produces an estimated 355 tons of particulate matter. In Kansas City, dustfall in the winter measures more than 67 tons a square mile a month. In the most heavily polluted parts of heavily polluted cities, from 50 to more than 100 tons of particulates fall ea£h month per square mile. In general, the concentration of aerosols in the air over a city is related to the size of its population. "Automobile exhaust — not confined to the city but a great contributor to its pollution nevertheless — emits especially large amounts of very fine aerosols. More than two-thirds of automobile emissions are between 0.02 and 0.06 micron in size. In the photochemical process, 100 billion particles per cubic meter of air may evolve. The Properties of Particulates "When a liquid or solid substance is emitted to the air as particulate matter, its properties and its cifects may be changed For as a substance is broken up jnT smaller and smaller particles more 0f ? becomes surface area exposed to the ai Under these circumstances, •?" substances — whatever its chemical composition — seems to become mor attractive to other particulates or gasI e The resulting combinations can h unexpected. "1. Very small aerosols can act nuclei on which vapor condenses relatively easily. "2. Particles less than 2 or 3 microns in size — about half of the particles suspended in urban air are estimated t0S that small —can reach deep into the part J the lung that is unprotected by mucus and can attract and carry such harmful chemicals as sulfur dioxide with them Sulfur dioxide alone would be dissolved ori the mucus before it reached that vulnerable tissue. "3. Particulates can act as catalysts. An example of this characteristic is the change of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid helped on by catalytic iron oxides. "Aerosols can absorb radiant energy and conduct heat quickly to the surrounding gasses of the atmosphere - gasses that are uncapable of absorbing radiant energy by themselves. As a result, the air in contact with the aerosols becomes much warmer. Some scientists now fear, indeed, that the increasing aerosol emissions of jet planes high in the troposphere may eventually form a heatabsorbing veil that will lessen the penetration of the sun's rays to the earth. "Particulates, it appears, do a lot more than spil our clothes." Polluted U The laws of entropy state that to keep things in an orderly state, energy must be continually expanded. Applying this law to our environment we conclude that a definite parallel does exist. However, the distinction must be made between the expenditure of random, uncontrolled energy and the expenditure of orderly, controlled energy. The expenditure of random energy is determined by the CostBenefit ratio (profit) while the expenditure of uncontrolled energy by the ecological Cost-Benefit ratio (true value to man). The cost-benefit ratio has had a detrimental effect on efforts to- i mprove the air quality in the Belle City area. Last year a three-month long study of the Belle City area was conducted by the Racine Health Department and. the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. In June Douglas Evans, acting director of the state's Bureau of A ir Pollution Control and Solid Waste Disposal, reported the "level of particulate matter at the Forest St. Station was similar to conditions prior to the London smog disaster of 1952." (To which 4,000 deaths were attributed.) The city of Racine has an ordinance limiting the emission of dense smoke, soot and cinders — but an enforcement would force Belle City to spend a third of a million dollars or leave town, which would endanger the jobs of many people and jobs are clearly "more" important than one's health or life. Another example of the cost-benefit ratio working to expand the uncontrolled energy is the construction of a 4 million dollar auto racing track near highway 20 and 1-94. The individuals involved have not yet considered the long-range ecological cost-benefit ratio. They have yet to consider the problems of noise, traffic, air and water pollution which have no monetary value but MUST be considered when determining its true social worth. I would give some examples of controlled energy expenditure, however, we are still growing backward.
