New Salary Protection Plan&#13;
During the first week of&#13;
August, classified employees&#13;
should receive information&#13;
and application&#13;
forms for a new Salary&#13;
Protection plan offered by&#13;
the University. Academic&#13;
personnel will be receiving&#13;
information in early October.&#13;
&#13;
This voluntary coverage&#13;
will guarantee at least 60&#13;
per cent of gross salary to&#13;
age 65 should an employee&#13;
become disabled either on&#13;
or off the job. An individual&#13;
will know in advance the&#13;
amount of benefits that will&#13;
be received, regardless of&#13;
how much may or may not&#13;
be paid by Workmen's&#13;
Compensation, social&#13;
security, or retirement&#13;
plans. Individuals may&#13;
select a 30, 60, 90, or 365 day&#13;
waiting period to fit their&#13;
p e rso n a l nee ds.&#13;
Premimimus (based on the&#13;
waiting period, gross&#13;
salary, and age) will be&#13;
payroll deducted monthly.&#13;
Details on the plan and&#13;
rates will be included in the&#13;
inf o r m a tio n pac ket.&#13;
Questions on the plan should&#13;

August 2,1971 NEWSCOPE Page 3&#13;

It's not a bad place for rock concerts.&#13;
Realistically, it's probably one of the&#13;
best possible halls in either Racine or&#13;
Kenosha to hold weekly concerts.&#13;
There's a certain class to it — and a&#13;
certain raunchiness.&#13;
Picture an old ornate movie theatre: a&#13;
high domed ceiling, a fresco of cavorting&#13;
seraphs and dancing eherubs floating on&#13;
white clouds high above the stage.&#13;
Picture 15 different coats of arms&#13;
Help Save America&#13;
beneath the fresco that line the top of the&#13;
stage, a balcony that overhangs half the&#13;
sloping main floor, ballustrades that&#13;
climb the side walls.&#13;
This contrasted with the barrenness of&#13;
the theatre.&#13;
It's gutted. The seats, except for a&#13;
small section in the balcony, have long&#13;
been stripped away. It's dark, and&#13;
there's a grimyness that no' amount of&#13;
scrubbing will ever get out.&#13;
It's an old building. Old and forgotten.&#13;
Except now, some life is being pumped&#13;
into it, but that too may be at an end.&#13;
It's America, and less than a month&#13;
after its opening, it's closing down.&#13;
Hopefully, for only a month in order to&#13;
get better organized. But if the reaction&#13;
then is what it has been, it will go the&#13;
way of the old Vogue Theatre Concerts&#13;
held two years ago in Kenosha. It will&#13;
die.&#13;
It will die, the promoters say, because&#13;
the people they want to serve will not&#13;
patronize it.&#13;
It closed last Wednesday night after&#13;
holding an emergency benefit concert&#13;
for itself. About 150 people showed up for&#13;
the hastily organized show (the&#13;
promoters had decided on Monday to&#13;
hold it). Bulldog Harry, now out of&#13;
Milwaukee, Rye Dad, and two folk acts,&#13;
Jumbo, and Lance Davenport, who's&#13;
working as a single now, played for free.&#13;
There was a casual atmosphere to it&#13;
all. The bands played competently and&#13;
the audience was relaxed and enjoyed&#13;
itself. At times when the folksingers&#13;
needed reassurance, the audience was&#13;
there with encouragement. An easy&#13;
rapport between audience and performer&#13;
coalesced.&#13;
During the benefit, Newscope talked&#13;
with the young promoters of the concerts.&#13;
The five partners are Hans Geyer,&#13;
Tom Gedemer, Randy Johnson, Bob&#13;
Heinrich and John Barrett. All are from&#13;
Racine and are between 18 and 20 years&#13;
old. Gedemer and Geyer are Parkside&#13;
students.&#13;
It cost the five big money to open&#13;
America. Nearly $1,500 was sunk in&#13;
before the first concert was even held at&#13;
Racine's old Uptown theatre on&#13;
Washington Avenue. First an adequate&#13;
facility had to be found, and then a lease&#13;
negotiated with a cautious landlord,&#13;
which stipulates that only one rock&#13;
concert can be held a week.&#13;
The theatre had to be made operable&#13;
before it could pass a city inspection.&#13;
Plumbing had to be reinstalled.&#13;
Rewiring of the electrical system had to&#13;
be done. A new stage was built. The&#13;
group estimates they have put a&#13;
minimum of 1,000 man hours of work&#13;
into restoring the theatre.&#13;
What had to "be done then was to get&#13;
adequate liability insurance, which&#13;
proved to be both hard and expensive.&#13;
Bands had to be contacted and booked.&#13;
All of which was done in a very short&#13;
time.&#13;
They admit now that the speed that&#13;
they did this contributed to their lack of&#13;
success. Barrett says, "It's something&#13;
we jumped into without really thinking&#13;
about. We've lost a lot of money, but&#13;
we've learned a lot. It's been a good&#13;
education."&#13;
They see their prime mistakes as&#13;
moving too quickly and not publicizing&#13;
the concerts enough. They intend during&#13;

The mayor of Kenosha,&#13;
Wallace Burkee, became&#13;
involved in politics in 1958&#13;
when the old city manager&#13;
form of government was&#13;
changed in favor of the&#13;
mayor-alderman organization.&#13;
At the time he was an&#13;
insurance representative&#13;
for Metropolitan Life and&#13;
ran for alderman against a&#13;
man who he said, "had a&#13;
record of forty arrests".&#13;
As a political novitiate, he&#13;
lost his job with the insurance&#13;
agency because&#13;
company policy forbid its&#13;
employees from entering&#13;
politics. He believes that&#13;
citizens should take an&#13;
active part in government in&#13;
order to make the city a&#13;
better place to live. From&#13;
1958 to 1962 he served as an&#13;
alderman and participated&#13;
on every committee and&#13;
commission. With considerable&#13;
pride he mentions&#13;
the accomplishments of&#13;
those years which saw the&#13;
world's largest aluminum&#13;
swimming pool open in&#13;
Washington Park, the&#13;
opening of the county airport,&#13;
expansion of the&#13;
harbor facilities and water&#13;
treatment plant and various&#13;
other public services&#13;
initiated.&#13;
In 1962 he moved to the&#13;
south side and decided&#13;
against running for&#13;
alderman and instead&#13;
opened an insurance&#13;
agency. In 1966 h e ran for&#13;
mayor and was defeated by&#13;
1,800 votes. He had been&#13;
disappointed with the way&#13;
the mayor's office had dealt&#13;
with industrial development&#13;
and future planning. But&#13;
only four months after his&#13;
defeat the incumbent,&#13;
Mayor Eugene Hammand,&#13;
announced he would leave&#13;
the job of mayor to become&#13;
vice-president of the&#13;
Kenosha National Bank.&#13;
Burkee won in a special&#13;
election and has served as&#13;
Kenosha's mayor for the&#13;
past five years.&#13;
Newscope spoke with the&#13;
mayor about the problems&#13;
of the city, the accomplishments&#13;
of his administration&#13;
and the task of&#13;
running the city.&#13;
Newscope: What has taken&#13;
most of your time as&#13;
mayor?&#13;
Mayor Burkee: Well, in the&#13;
beginning it was taking care&#13;
of petty calls, and I got&#13;
plenty of those. I got calls at&#13;
two o'clock in the morning&#13;
from drunks who would sit&#13;
in the bar and announce&#13;
that, 'I'm gonna call the&#13;
mayor and tell him what's&#13;
going on.'&#13;
I could just see these&#13;
people look at this clown&#13;
give his big speech. Then&#13;
there would be a dead&#13;
silence on the other end&#13;
while I told them what the&#13;
score was.&#13;
This came to a screeching&#13;
halt and most of my time&#13;
now is devoted to making up&#13;
budgets and operations and&#13;
helping in surveys of our&#13;
particular departments.&#13;
On a statewide basis I&#13;
work as president of the&#13;
Alliance of Cities which is&#13;
the fifteen largest cities in&#13;
the state, banded together.&#13;
I'm the first and only&#13;
president of the Alliance and&#13;
I really can't get rid of the&#13;
legislation they should be&#13;
backing. They never had&#13;
anybody that really talked&#13;
to them, I mean collectively.&#13;
Sure, they could go to Green&#13;
Bay, Racine, Kenosha,&#13;
spend about two months&#13;
interviewing all the mayor&#13;
on different problems but&#13;
now they can go to our&#13;
organization or our lobbyist&#13;
and get the answers right&#13;
there.&#13;
have said that you can't run&#13;
a car that was built in 1911&#13;
on the highways today, nor&#13;
can you run old formulas for&#13;
the communities that exist&#13;
today.&#13;
Another important bill&#13;
before the legislature is Bill&#13;
64. It says, in essence, that&#13;
the governor will appoint&#13;
three people, approved by&#13;
the senate, who will form a&#13;
Boundary Review Board.&#13;
Newscope Interview1&#13;
Kenosha's Mayor W allace Burkee&#13;
job. Nobody really wants the&#13;
task of going to the&#13;
legislature and having&#13;
every senator who wants to&#13;
take a pot shot at you, and&#13;
every representative who&#13;
wants to get in a personal&#13;
kick at you, do it. I'm willing&#13;
to go this route and, along&#13;
with the other mayors who&#13;
have worked so hard in this&#13;
organization, I think we've&#13;
put together one of the&#13;
greatest organizations for&#13;
lobbying for the central&#13;
cities and the urban areas of&#13;
Wisconsin that has ever&#13;
been formed.&#13;
We're finally starting to&#13;
get more backing from&#13;
governmental departments.&#13;
Now they come to us to find&#13;
out what's wrong with our&#13;
areas and what type of&#13;
We've put in dozens of&#13;
bills for the Alliance of&#13;
Cities. We're backing&#13;
several dozen other bills&#13;
that we have had other&#13;
groups initiate on our behalf&#13;
because sometimes it's&#13;
better to have another group&#13;
front for you. But those bills&#13;
that we have pushed for&#13;
ourselves are bills that are&#13;
either trying to solve some&#13;
of the problems that we&#13;
have, or trying to correct&#13;
some of the so-called&#13;
solutions that they've come&#13;
up with.&#13;
Shared taxes is one of o ur&#13;
big things. We have this&#13;
problem with formulas that&#13;
were made up in 1911. They&#13;
are so antiquated it's&#13;
pathetic. They want to&#13;
continue with those and we&#13;
This is very important&#13;
because then cities can&#13;
initiate annexations and go&#13;
to the state and tell them&#13;
that this is the area that&#13;
we'd like to annex because&#13;
it's urban in nature. We&#13;
would submit the time-table&#13;
servicing it and the reasons&#13;
why it should become part of&#13;
the city. This would solve a&#13;
lot of our problems.&#13;
Right now we have the&#13;
Parkside area which I am&#13;
annexing: 1,400 acres; 700&#13;
acres of Parkside land and&#13;
700 on Somers. It is vital that&#13;
Bill 64 be passed not only for&#13;
Kenosha but for every other&#13;
urban area in the state.&#13;
NS: What is the major&#13;
problem in Kenosha? In&#13;
Milwaukee the major&#13;
problem is the inner city;&#13;
what is it in Kenosha?&#13;
Burkee: Well, the major&#13;
problem in all cities is a lack&#13;
of funds to operate the&#13;
amount of things that have&#13;
to be done. People demand&#13;
more services today than&#13;
they ever have. They would&#13;
like to have one policeman&#13;
for every person, but that's&#13;
impossible.&#13;
The problem is that you&#13;
have an overburdened&#13;
property tax. It was never&#13;
designed for the high cost of&#13;
education we have today,&#13;
nor was it designed for the&#13;
present welfare system.&#13;
I think welfare should be&#13;
picked up by the federal&#13;
government. Then we'd stop&#13;
the migration from&#13;
Mississippi and Texas to&#13;
Wisconsin where welfare is&#13;
great. As a matter of fact&#13;
there is a sign in Mississippi&#13;
that says. 'Go to Racine,&#13;
Welfare is Wonderful.' The&#13;
people down there will give,&#13;
you a one way ticket free to&#13;
go to Racine, which is&#13;
asinine and ridiculous. We&#13;
don't want any more of this •&#13;
ridiculous migration of the&#13;
poor and the indigent.&#13;
This could be solved by&#13;
having national standards&#13;
on welfare applied across&#13;
the nation so people&#13;
wouldn't have to move to a&#13;
certain area in order to get&#13;
more money.&#13;
Of course, we'd like to see&#13;
everyone have a decent&#13;
education and a decent&#13;
living, but it's just one of&#13;
those things. Some people&#13;
will squander everything&#13;
they've got and some people&#13;
save. You can't tell the guy&#13;
that squandered everything,&#13;
'that's it, Buddy, you're all&#13;
done.' You have to take care&#13;
of him, but you don't have to&#13;
take care of him in the style&#13;
he might have been accustomed&#13;
to when he had a&#13;
lot of money.&#13;
These are the problems&#13;
we have. Education should&#13;
be picked up by the states.&#13;
The state has an obligation&#13;
to give every child an equal&#13;
education and the state&#13;
should finance it. Then we&#13;
would have the property tax&#13;

When a group of good&#13;
musicians get together to&#13;
play music rather than&#13;
revolutionize it, the result&#13;
should be predictably&#13;
the N e w s c o p e Staff&#13;
freshness and enthusiasm&#13;
on guitar, using one or two&#13;
well placed notes in lieu of a&#13;
double that many use in a&#13;
flashy but less effective run,&#13;
while brother Gregg fills in&#13;
all the cracks on organ. As&#13;
on every song, the drummer&#13;
is perfect. While outclassed&#13;
by many others in his&#13;
profession as far as a&#13;
technical command of the&#13;
drums, he's not trying to&#13;
compete with them. He&#13;
plays simple, driving, rythmically&#13;
perfect beats which&#13;
is all that is called for, in&#13;
fact, all that is appropriate&#13;
on this album.&#13;
satisfying. The Allman&#13;
Brothers latest fulfills that&#13;
prediction.&#13;
In two live performances&#13;
at the Fillmore East on&#13;
March 12 and 13 the group,&#13;
forsaking any attempt to&#13;
predict the musical future,&#13;
resurrected such tunes as&#13;
"Stormy Monday", "Done&#13;
Somebody Wrong" and&#13;
"You Don't Love Me", had a&#13;
few beers and proceeded to&#13;
raise hell.&#13;
The result is a recorded&#13;
collection of straight&#13;
ahead, good - time, no&#13;
bullshit rock, and de good ol'&#13;
empty Ripple bottle blues.&#13;
Both are done with such&#13;
ease and accuracy that the&#13;
business end of the album&#13;
should have no trouble&#13;
getting back many times the&#13;
original investment.&#13;
Try on "Statesboro&#13;
Blues". It shuffles so hard&#13;
that it threatens to by-pass&#13;
Buffalo and head straight&#13;
for the Delta. Duane Allman&#13;

There is a certain solitude&#13;
evident in downtown Kenosha&#13;
weekday evenings. When the&#13;
somewhere in the western end of the county,&#13;
it seems as though the sidewalks should be&#13;
taken in.&#13;
On fifty-sixth street, between sixth and&#13;
seventh avenues, there are rows of parking&#13;
meters on cement islands. The cement&#13;
islands attract no bathers or fishermen, just&#13;
cabbies. There are usually two or three&#13;
cabbies sitting in their beat-up cars, reading&#13;
a racing form, the Enquirer or the Kenosha&#13;
News. Only on the deadest of nights is there&#13;
not even one sleepy-eyed cabbie parked near&#13;
the islands.&#13;
I walked out of Becker's Cigar Store on&#13;
one of these "deadest of nights", with the L.&#13;
A. Free Press under my arm. Beside there&#13;
being no cabbies, there weren't even any&#13;
elderly window shoppers browsing around.&#13;
An occasional car, freshly turtle-waxed,&#13;
would rumble through downtown toward the&#13;
bridge, carrying scoopers to Simons Island.&#13;
The beat cop could be seen now and then,&#13;
ambling from door to door, store to store.&#13;
It was so quiet, that I could hear the&#13;
traffic lights changing. Someone sneezed on&#13;
the Police Department steps, and it echoed&#13;
all the way down to Lepp's. The entire scene&#13;
on this segment of 56th Street would have&#13;
attracted the eye of Norman Rockwell for a&#13;
mural of "a typical Midwestern downtown&#13;
after sunset".&#13;
I stood in front of Becker's and watched&#13;
the sign on the First National Bank change&#13;
from time to temperature and back again. It&#13;
was a methodical, mechanical cynic&#13;
reminding me that I was a minute closer to&#13;
death every time it changed. My eyes&#13;
wandered across Sixth Avenue to a neon sign&#13;
that looked so average, it seem unique.&#13;
The neon letters weren't cooperating&#13;
with each other. Instead of spelling&#13;
restaurant in red letters against the evening&#13;
shadows, the sign read "aurant". I walked&#13;
under the "aurant" sign and pressed my&#13;
face against a large picture window, as&#13;
though looking for a specific fish in a&#13;
crowded aquarium.&#13;
Once my eyes were adjusted to the light&#13;
inside, I saw three people surrounding a&#13;
table. I walked inside Ruby's Restaurant&#13;
and asked if the place was still open for&#13;
business.&#13;
A man with a beard getting up from the&#13;
table said he could fix me something to eat.&#13;
Sitting at the table were an old friend of mine&#13;
Working Class Heroine&#13;
\ 1&#13;
Patronize Our Advertisers I&#13;
I I&#13;
by Paul Lomartire&#13;
of the Newscope staff&#13;
To the bored husband, suffering&#13;
through a shopping tour in the woman's&#13;
department at Welles Department Store,&#13;
Kathy Williamson is a working class&#13;
heroine of sorts. The husband can leave&#13;
the world of hot pants, panty hose and&#13;
slacks to enjoy a cup of coffee at the&#13;
snack bar where she works.&#13;
To the second grade student&#13;
struggling through reading of the tales of&#13;
Dick, Jane and Spot, she is definitely a&#13;
heroine, as she helps in the capacity of&#13;
teacher's aide. To the teacher of the&#13;
second grade class, who wants to treat&#13;
every student in her over crowded&#13;
classroom as an individual, Kathy is a&#13;
valuable help.&#13;
Kathy Williamson is all of these. As&#13;
a 20 year old Parkside junior, she has&#13;
entered the world of the working class,&#13;
while working her way through college.&#13;
Almost two years ago, when Welles&#13;
Department Store opened, she applied&#13;
for a job. She didn't get hired to work in&#13;
any of the various departments, but got&#13;
a job in the snack bar, where she has&#13;
worked ever since.&#13;
"The only bad part of my job," she&#13;
said, "is that the customers don't read&#13;
the signs. What I mean is, there are 24&#13;
different flavors of ice cream. The&#13;
flavors are all listed, but customers will&#13;
still ask what kind of i ce cream we have.&#13;
This is an example."&#13;
Working twenty hours a week has&#13;
helped her pay tuition at Parkside,&#13;
where she is an English major. During&#13;
the second semester last year, she&#13;
signed up to be a teacher's aide at Grant&#13;
School. She helped teach the second&#13;
grade. For her efforts she received three&#13;
credits, but no pay.&#13;
Deciding that she liked teaching,&#13;
Kathy applied for a twenty hour a week&#13;
position as a teacher' aide with the&#13;
Unified School System. Because of her&#13;
qualifications, she was hired to continue&#13;
at Grant with the second grade through&#13;
the summer. "I really like helping the&#13;
kids, but at times teaching is real work,"&#13;
she said.&#13;
Her skill in handling children could&#13;
stem from her home life, where she&#13;
helps her parents raise two brothers and&#13;
a sister about the age of the children she&#13;
was hired to teach. Kathy is one of&#13;
eleven in the Williamson family.&#13;
In the fall Kathy plans to take fifteen&#13;
credits at Parkside. She hopes to&#13;
graduate in June, 1973. Then she will go&#13;
on to receive her teachers certificate.&#13;
Then she can become an elementary&#13;
school teacher.&#13;
While working at Welles and at&#13;
Grant Elementary School, Kathy took a&#13;
three credit English course at summer&#13;
school on Shakespeare. This filled up her&#13;
schedule for the summer to the hilt.&#13;
"The only bad part about working so&#13;
hard or being so busy in the summer, is&#13;
getting up early every morning," Kathy&#13;
said. "I'd like to sleep late on weekends,&#13;
but those are my only two days that I&#13;
have to myself. So I sometimes get very&#13;
tired during the week, and wonder why I&#13;
work two jobs. In the long run, I'll be&#13;
able to stay in school, and still have&#13;
extra money."&#13;
Kathy also said that the teaching&#13;
experience she got at Grant School was&#13;
very valuable. As she compiles credits&#13;
for her degree in English, she must take&#13;
various classes teaching how to teach&#13;
others. She plans to minor in sociology.&#13;
Another reason that she is trying to&#13;
get as much experience as possible can&#13;
be explained in the future of teachers&#13;
today. Because there is a surplus of&#13;
teachers graduating from colleges, only&#13;
those with the most valuable assets can&#13;
count on jobs. The field is becoming&#13;
more and more competitive.&#13;
Between her taw jobs, summer&#13;
school and family obligations^ Kathy&#13;
spends much of .her time with Her boy&#13;
friend Zappoi He is also a student at&#13;
Parkside and a full-time shde salesman&#13;
aL/Maling's Show Store in Pershing&#13;
Plafca.&#13;
With summer coming to an end,&#13;
Kathy is looking forward to the last two&#13;
weeks in August, when she gets a two&#13;
week paid vacation from Wells. She&#13;
plans to take a trip to Northern&#13;
Wisconsin, where she can relax, and get&#13;
ready for the fall.&#13;
At a time of year when moods and&#13;
feelings of laziness hit many college&#13;
students, Kathy Williamson has vaulted&#13;
into the world of the working class,&#13;
spending days in school teaching and&#13;
nights at Welles, along with summer&#13;
school. The surprising thing about this&#13;
combination is her outlook. She does it&#13;
all with a smile. &#13;

from high school, and a girl wearing a candy&#13;
striped jumper. It didn't appear that I was&#13;
interrupting anything very important.&#13;
I sat down and thought about what to eat&#13;
Any Jew worth his weight in blintzs has to&#13;
admit that Ruby's offers a fine corned beef&#13;
sandwich. When I want to substitute a&#13;
New York mood for a Kenosha one, I use a&#13;
Ruby's corned beef in lieu of a United Air&#13;
Lines ticket.&#13;
The price of the sandwich (90 cents) the&#13;
quality and quantity, walk hand in hand. For&#13;
a restaurant that serves this sort of specialty&#13;
item, I think Ruby's has the best in town. It&#13;
wouldn't surprise me to learn that they&#13;
either have or are about to conquer&#13;
"authentic New York bagels with cream&#13;
cheese and lox".&#13;
I ordered a corned beef sandwich and&#13;
coffee. While it was being made, I talked to&#13;
my friend about high school, a subject I had&#13;
only infrequently thought about since being&#13;
released from Tremper, after "doing three&#13;
years". The conversation would have fit well&#13;
at a ten year reunion. I traded a 'how's Linda&#13;
Schneider doing' for a 'whatever happened&#13;
to John Martinez'. The nostalgic dialogue&#13;
seemed to fit the restaurant's atmosphere.&#13;
A n ewsman on the color television over&#13;
the bar was silently reviewing the day's&#13;
events. A jukebox was resting quietly in the&#13;
front of the place, while the eyes of a man&#13;
captured for posterity in a painting above&#13;
the bar watched over the entire dining area.&#13;
Each table had a colony of accessories on it;&#13;
sugar, salt, pepper, napkins and mustard,&#13;
this dining area, with all the empty tables,&#13;
was a maze of loneliness.&#13;
During a normal day, lawyers,&#13;
businessmen, bikers, shoppers, clerks,&#13;
heads, and doctors all share the same eating&#13;
facilities. The prices of meals fit the variety&#13;
of clientele every nicely. This restaurant is&#13;
very often full at noon hour during the&#13;
week, which testifies to questions concerning&#13;
quality, service and popularity, in the&#13;
opinion of many.&#13;
As I sat and enjoyed the corned beef, it&#13;
was far from a noon hour scene. The chairs&#13;
even looked tired, after holding dead weight&#13;
all day. The man who had made the sandwich&#13;
is one of the two brothers who run&#13;
Ruby's. Between sentences of conversation&#13;
and sips of coffee, he acknowledged&#13;
greetings from passers-by on the street. This&#13;
is the home of t he wide variety of characters&#13;
who star in the long running hit, Kenosha.&#13;
After I left Ruby's, I wondered if Normal}&#13;
Rockwell would paint the resturant sign&#13;
above the restaurant as it was, "aurant", or&#13;
as it should read. I also wondered if someone&#13;
could commission Andy Warhol to paint a&#13;
"pop art" corned beef sandwich. After&#13;
Norman Rockwell did the mural of 'a quiet&#13;
downtown' and Andy did the sandwich, both&#13;
could relax in Ruby's over a cup of coffee,&#13;
some warm summer evening. They would&#13;
experience Ruby's art of making a collage of&#13;
people feel welcomed, even on the deadest of&#13;
dead nights.&#13;

August to organize themselves&#13;
better and open again&#13;
in September.&#13;
"August is going to be&#13;
spent working on advertising&#13;
and- booking&#13;
bands," Barrett explained.&#13;
"We're going to try to get&#13;
things firmed up."&#13;
They hope by booking&#13;
bigger bands they can draw&#13;
more people. But the danger&#13;
of this is recognized. "The&#13;
bigger the band the more&#13;
the down payment is. We&#13;
blow one big band and we're&#13;
in the hole again," one&#13;
partner acknowledged.&#13;
Outside of the Soup&#13;
concert, America never&#13;
drew enough to break even.&#13;
The combined attendance of&#13;
the five concerts was about&#13;
1,500 people. The capacity of&#13;
the theatre is 2,000.&#13;
Is the group disappointed&#13;
at the lack of support by&#13;
their peers? "In some ways&#13;
I do feel the kids have let us&#13;
down," Gedemer says.&#13;
"We're not even asking for a&#13;
profit. We just want enough&#13;
support to keep going. We&#13;
feel like we're doing&#13;
something for kids our age.&#13;
Because there's nothing&#13;
really to do in Racine, and&#13;
no one is starting anything.&#13;
Everybody complains. So&#13;
we give .them something to&#13;
do and then they shut us&#13;
down."&#13;
Gedemer concedes that&#13;
they will have a smaller&#13;
chance of s uccess in the fall&#13;
than they had in the summer.&#13;
He says, "I hope the&#13;
kids come. I hope like hell&#13;
they come in September."&#13;
He continued: "In golf you&#13;
don't need a one year&#13;
contract — you need at least&#13;
a three year contract. In one&#13;
year, you cannot tell enough&#13;
about your potential.&#13;
Everybody just doesn't&#13;
make it in one or two years.&#13;
In three years you will&#13;
probably know whether you&#13;
are going forward or backward."&#13;
&#13;
by Marc Eisen&#13;
This was to be an essay, but it's not now&#13;
because I'm tired and it's getting late, and I've&#13;
blown it for tonight. I had intended to continue&#13;
writing about totalitarianism and how John&#13;
Kennedy represented what was wrong with&#13;
liberalism, and on the debasement of the&#13;
language, which, together, seem totally&#13;
unrelated topics.&#13;
I thought in writing about the general drift,&#13;
toward totalitarianism in American society, I&#13;
could draw the two together. Except I&#13;
misplaced an article I wanted to use. I've found&#13;
it now, and it's 3 a.m.&#13;
So it's not an essay. It&#13;
l&#13;
s rather what I'm&#13;
thinking at this moment, and while I'll be&#13;
considering the same topic the essay would, it's&#13;
different. It's different because what I say now&#13;
is a closer reflection of myself than an essay&#13;
would be. In an essay I can abstract myself&#13;
from what I'm writing and say something I&#13;
don't fully believe (If this was an essay the first&#13;
sentence would read, "You can abstract&#13;
yourself from what you're writing and say&#13;
something you don't fully believe.")&#13;
I have to be honest in what I write this way.&#13;
There is little to hide behind — if I had written&#13;
"You have to be honest in what you write"&#13;
there would be something to hide behind. The&#13;
reality and impact of what I say is much more&#13;
concrete to me if I use "I" rather than the&#13;
generalized "you".&#13;
What I'm saying here is itself an intimation&#13;
of the argument I wish to make about the&#13;
debasement of the language. Orwell in his&#13;
essay, "Politics and the English Language",&#13;
argues that English is in a "bad way". He sees&#13;
the causes as being ultimately political and&#13;
economic in nature.&#13;
He writes, "In our time, political speech&#13;
and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible&#13;
. . . Thus political language has to&#13;
consist largely of euphemism, question begging&#13;
and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenseless&#13;
villages are bombarded from the air, the&#13;
inhabitants driven out into the countryside .&#13;
the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this&#13;
is called pacification ...&#13;
"The inflated style is itself a kind of&#13;
euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon&#13;
the facts like soft snow, blurring the outlines&#13;
and covering up all the details. The great&#13;
enemy of clear language is insincerity . .&#13;
He concludes in part, "Political language&#13;
— and with variations this is true of all political&#13;
parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is&#13;
designed to make lies sound truthful and&#13;
murder respectable, and to give an appearance&#13;
of solidity to pure wind."&#13;
Orwell wrote this in 1946.&#13;
The end result of this is what Time&#13;
describes as "semantic aphasia". It's defined&#13;
as "that numbness of ear, mind and heart —&#13;
that tone deafness to the very meaning of&#13;
language — which results from the habitual&#13;
and prolonged abuse of words."&#13;
It's what Mailer described as the&#13;
totalitarian culture. A culture that blinds&#13;
visions and deadens instinct.&#13;
Where does the fault lie? It lies in the&#13;
mentality that says "Off the pig," and the&#13;
mentality that says "terminate with extreme&#13;
prejudice," instead of saying "Go kill a human&#13;
being."&#13;
"It sits," as Mailer wrote,"in the image of&#13;
the commercials on television which use phallic&#13;
and vaginal symbols to sell products which are&#13;
otherwise useless for sex ..."&#13;
It resides with the academician and the&#13;
technocrat who has beclouded his area of&#13;
competance with a fog of jargon and subordinative&#13;
clauses. It's a lifeless prose befeft of&#13;
humanity ; as sterile as the environment it is&#13;
produced in. It's written as if simple&#13;
declarative sentences no longer exist.&#13;
It resides with the technocrat . . . I'm&#13;
going to pull some of my punches at the myth of&#13;
JFK — it's late (near 6 a.m.; I write very&#13;
siowy) and I don't have space to sufficiently&#13;
develop some ideas.&#13;
George Ball, who was Under Secretary of&#13;
State for both John Kennedy and Lyndon&#13;
Johnson, and who is given credit for being the&#13;
leading dove within the two administrations,&#13;
wrote a recent column for Newsweek entitled&#13;
"The Trap of Rationality."&#13;
He claims that one of the most disheartening&#13;
disclosures of t he Pentagon papers is the&#13;
feeling of sterility that emerges. He says the&#13;
"bloodless terminology" and the "antiseptic&#13;
style" evoke a sense of heartlessness and a&#13;
belief that the authors of the memoranda&#13;
thought only in numbers and concepts and were&#13;
indifferent to what their proposals would mean&#13;
to the people in Vietnam.&#13;
Ball believes this impression is totally&#13;
misleading, but he questions, nevertheless, how&#13;
such an intellectual climate occurred.&#13;
He finds two parallel developments as the&#13;
cause. One was a scholarly preoccupation with&#13;
underdeveloped societies. How could&#13;
America by use of its resources establish a&#13;
stable democratic nation in an artifically&#13;
defined area called Vietnam?&#13;
The other was the evolving of analytical&#13;
methods of r esarch activities. Such institutions&#13;
as MIT. the RAND corporation, and the Hudson&#13;
Institute became home for this work. It was&#13;
here, Ball says, much of the jargon was created&#13;
—- game theory, input-output ratos, kill ratios,&#13;
limited war, flexible response, and&#13;
controlled escalation!&#13;
The overall effect, Ball contends, was that&#13;
these men misled themselves by depersonalizing&#13;
the war and treating it too much as&#13;
an exercise in the deployment of resources and&#13;
in the process ignored one aspect, the strength&#13;
of will and the Viet Cong.&#13;
I think John Kennedy and the thinking that&#13;
produced him must bear the brunt of the&#13;
responsibility for creating this intellectual&#13;
climate.&#13;
Two points are key to this. One, it was the&#13;
era of " tough" liberals. "In the long history of&#13;
the world, only a few generations have been&#13;
granted the role of defending freedom in its&#13;
hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from&#13;
this responsibility — I welcome it," so said&#13;
John Kennedy. And along came the Green&#13;
Berets, counter-insurgency, the "missile gap,"&#13;
the space race, and 17,500 "advisers" in&#13;
Vietnam.&#13;
Then there was the New Frontier, and a&#13;
chance to have Power, and a chance to be part&#13;
of Camelot. It worked both ways, John Kennedy&#13;
attracted a plethora of brilliant people, but&#13;
these same people wanted power to pursue&#13;
their ideas.&#13;
Bill Buckley, despite his Toryism, has said&#13;
he'd rather be ruled by the first 100 names in&#13;
the New Haven phone book than the faculty of&#13;
Yale. Beware of liberals doing good.&#13;
There is finally the perfect example of the&#13;
Kennedy intellectual — technocrat — Robert&#13;
McNamara. He was the businessman,&#13;
technician, and cost-benefit expert. Let Time&#13;
describe him, "McNamara delivered an unstoppable&#13;
stream of convincing detail. He had a&#13;
swift answer for every question, a sharp&#13;
rebuttal for every doubt."&#13;
He considered every technical aspect of the&#13;
War in Vietnam — except one — the will power&#13;
of the Viet Cong. Time described his dilemma&#13;
as "... he was so infatuated with statistics&#13;
that he was long blinded to the human factors in&#13;
the Vietnam conflict. It was a puzzling outcome&#13;
for a man who had entered Government&#13;
renowned to his humane instincts at well as his&#13;
technological brillance. McNamara became a&#13;
divided personality." (my emphasis)&#13;

sufficient for a university&#13;

have to supplement that&#13;

I think you have to keep in&#13;
mind that there are only&#13;
eight houses in the entire&#13;
annexation and so the&#13;
garbage pick-up will be&#13;
minimal, the fire protection,&#13;
besides Parkside, nothing to&#13;
speak of and the police&#13;
protection very small except&#13;
for Parkside. The&#13;

Burkee: Well, you have to&#13;
maintain what, you have.&#13;
You have to have a good&#13;

this. Maintenance of what&#13;
you have is very important&#13;

We have on the drawing&#13;

jets can land. As a matter of&#13;
fact, they're ready to sign a&#13;

NS: Are there any programs&#13;
considered to raise the level&#13;
of living in Kenosha?&#13;
Burkee: First of all you&#13;
have to have good employment,&#13;
and this in itself&#13;
will raise the level of living.&#13;
We've gotten in the first&#13;
large industry in 20 years in&#13;
Kenosha, and that's Ocean&#13;
Spray.&#13;
Then you must also have&#13;
adequate facilities like&#13;
parks, and schools. You&#13;
have to give people an opportunity&#13;
to get a decent&#13;
education and a place to&#13;
work after they graduate.&#13;
We have several other&#13;
industries that we've been&#13;
talking to. It's not easy, with&#13;
a tight money market, to get&#13;
an industry to move and put&#13;
a capital outlay of 8 to 10&#13;
million dollars into an area.&#13;
They look very closely at&#13;
your area.&#13;
^e have Parkside coming&#13;
along very well and KTI is&#13;
probably at the peak of its&#13;
development right now with&#13;
all the programs they have,&#13;
and Carthage College has a&#13;
1,500 enrollment which is&#13;
tops for them.&#13;
We have a health&#13;
department that operates&#13;
efficiently. Our inspection&#13;
department inspects houses&#13;
and apartments being built&#13;
to insure that they are not&#13;
built with shoddy construction.&#13;
I think that all of&#13;
our departments are&#13;
operating at top capacity&#13;
and I believe we have a good&#13;
city because of it.&#13;
NS: Would you care to&#13;
comment on the controversy&#13;
over the topless bars?&#13;
Burkee: Yes, I think it's a&#13;
very detrimental thing for&#13;
our community and I cite&#13;
the fact that we have been&#13;
on nationwide television.&#13;
Channel Six ran a particular&#13;
segment of&#13;
American Motors people&#13;
running across 52nd street&#13;
at lunchtime with their bags&#13;
of lunch to go and have a&#13;
beer and watch the naked&#13;
women. I've received letters&#13;
from almost every state in&#13;
the country saying what a&#13;
horrible city I have.&#13;
A column written by&#13;
Margo out of New York went&#13;
out to every newspaper of&#13;
any size in the whole United&#13;
States. In that particular&#13;
item it said, 'When Old&#13;
Calcutta started in New&#13;
York we wondered how far&#13;
the sexual revolution would&#13;
go. Now we know; they're&#13;
all dancing naked in&#13;
Kenosha.' Then she goes on&#13;
to intimately describe what&#13;
the girls do. It's just a very&#13;
bad cast on the city of&#13;
Kenosha.&#13;
Yes, if you wanted to be&#13;
called the Hurley of&#13;
southeastern Wisconsin,&#13;
fine, continue. If you wanted&#13;
to be called the Calumet&#13;
City of Wisconsin, instead of&#13;
Illinois, continue. You'll get&#13;
the name and then you'll&#13;
have no one wanting to come&#13;
here to teach, no one&#13;
wanting to locate an industry&#13;
here and no one&#13;
wanting anything to do with&#13;
Kenosha. Maybe they'll&#13;
come down to see how the&#13;
topless and bottomless is&#13;
going, but you're tearing a&#13;
good city apart for the&#13;
amusement and profit of&#13;
very few people.&#13;
NS: Are recent supreme&#13;
court decisions obstructing&#13;
the city's fight against the&#13;
topless bars?&#13;
Burkee: Not the recent&#13;
ones; the old decisions are&#13;
in there. But now we're&#13;
getting into an area where a&#13;
federal judge" is trying to&#13;
interpose his will on a&#13;
legislative matter, which is&#13;
the issuance of tavern&#13;
licenses. He has no&#13;
authority to issue tavern&#13;
licenses. He has done this&#13;
and we have challenged him&#13;
with an order to suspend the&#13;
temporary restraining&#13;
order. He's going to rule on&#13;
that this week.&#13;
We feel that he's in an&#13;
area that's way over his&#13;
head; something he&#13;
shouldn't have done and I&#13;
think he's beginning to&#13;
believe it himself.&#13;
NS: Is there any legal way&#13;
that you can get rid of the&#13;
topless bar. You can take&#13;
away their licenses for&#13;
liquor but can you take&#13;
away the dancers?&#13;
Burkee: No. Legally if you&#13;
took the topless-bottomless&#13;
issue, this isn't a pun, on the&#13;
nakedness of itself, you&#13;
would find that you cannot&#13;
win. The Supreme Court has&#13;
ruled that being naked is a&#13;
form of expression. I don't&#13;
understand the language,&#13;
but it is a form of expression,&#13;
at least that's&#13;
what they say. If you did try&#13;
to win on the basis that&#13;
Nakedness is something&#13;
that you can legislate&#13;
against, you'd lose.&#13;

Caddies on the Golf Tour&#13;
by Jim Casper&#13;
Of the Newscope Staff&#13;
Touring caddies do far more than&#13;
just carry the pros' clubs around.&#13;
Newscope talked with an experienced&#13;
touring caddy who&#13;
moves from week to week with a&#13;
specific pro.&#13;
Caddies apparently do not like&#13;
much publicity, at least on an individual&#13;
level, so we refrained&#13;
from using has last name in this&#13;
article. This particular caddy's&#13;
name is Ervin, and he hails from&#13;
North Carolina, about 80 miles&#13;
from where his pro, Jack Lewis,&#13;
Jr., came from.&#13;
We asked him what&#13;
qualifications were needed to be&#13;
able to caddy on the tour: "To&#13;
qualify to be a caddy on the tour&#13;
you must have good common&#13;
sense, some knowledge about&#13;
caddying, dependability, and a&#13;
willingness to do what your player&#13;
wants you to do."&#13;
"The best thing to do is to work&#13;
for a player that you know you can&#13;
really get along with. A young&#13;
caddy coming to the golf tour&#13;
should try to latch on to a young&#13;
player and stick with him while he&#13;
is getting started, and one day,&#13;
hopefully, he will do well."&#13;
"For those interested in becoming&#13;
a caddy the best thing to&#13;
do is to go to a country club and&#13;
start caddying in order to get the&#13;
basic ideas about the job, and once&#13;
the members start telling you that&#13;
you do your job well, you should&#13;
come out on the tour and catch on&#13;
to a young player and tell him that&#13;
you have never caddied for a&#13;
touring pro before and he will tell&#13;
you what he wants you to do. It is a&#13;
good learning experience for a&#13;
college golfer to caddy for a pro&#13;
during a tournament," Ervin&#13;
added.&#13;
"Any player that is on a high&#13;
school or a college golf team is&#13;
qualified to caddy on the golf tour. I&#13;
don't think he would make an error&#13;
to hurt a pro," he said.&#13;
Although caddying is basically&#13;
the same for all players, there are&#13;
some differences in what the&#13;
players want their caddies to do.&#13;
Ervin commented on this: "Jack&#13;
Nicklaus needs help to a certain&#13;
point. Not so much the clubs, but he&#13;
wants the pin placements and he&#13;
can't get out of bed at 6:00 A.M.&#13;
and walk the course to get the&#13;
placements, so that job is up to his&#13;
caddy. Trevino and Casper, for&#13;
example, want the clubs, yardage,&#13;
and pin placement — they pay their&#13;
caddies well for that additional&#13;
information — you can believe&#13;
that."&#13;
"Not every pro out here has his&#13;
own caddy. They can't all afford to&#13;
give their caddies $125 a week and&#13;
five per cent of t he winnings. Some&#13;
players give $200 a week and seven&#13;
per cent. If you get a young player&#13;
you have to take what he will give&#13;
you. I feel fortunate to get $125 a&#13;
week and five per cent. Some&#13;
weeks when he does well and we&#13;
have a week off, he will give me an&#13;
extra $75 p lus the percentage."&#13;
We asked Ervin about the differences&#13;
found in Southern and&#13;
Northern golf courses: "Courses in&#13;
the North are a little easier&#13;
because they are probably in better&#13;
condition and a little shorter than&#13;
Southern courses. There is not&#13;
quite as much wind here in the&#13;
North as in Texas for example.&#13;
Courses in North Carolina are very&#13;

•Alvarez to Attend ParksideRudy&#13;
Alvarez, star distanceman from Racine Horlick&#13;
high school, will attend the University of WisconsinParkside,&#13;
track coach Bob Lawson announced recently.&#13;
Alvarez, who won state Class A titles in cross country&#13;
and track, placed fourth in last month's All American&#13;
Championships in Illinois.&#13;
"We think Rudy will fit in very well on our cross&#13;
country team," Lawson said. "He's the type of runner we&#13;
want and is not afraid to take command of a race."&#13;
Alvarez, who posted a best of 9 :13 for the two mile and&#13;
won the event in his state meet, will be running the longer&#13;
five and six mile cross country distances for Parkside this&#13;
fall, but said he thinks he will like the extra mileage.&#13;
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin E. Alvarez, 1100&#13;
Frederick Street, Racine, and was coached in high school&#13;
by Tom Keefe.&#13;
8ph.&#13;
SHARP&#13;
tight, have many trees, and are&#13;
very long. Tripoli, where the GMO&#13;
was held, by comparison, is very&#13;
short, but it isn't the easiest around&#13;
because you can't afford to hit it&#13;
over the green."&#13;
What about the future of the pro&#13;
tour? We posed this question to&#13;
Ervin and he replied: "In ten years&#13;
a man would only have to win one&#13;
major tournament and he would&#13;
become a millionaire on the spot&#13;
even if he never won another one.&#13;
He would not, of course, receive a&#13;
million in prize money; but a&#13;
prestigious victory is worth very&#13;
much in endorsements. In ten&#13;
years the first prize in every&#13;
tournament will be at least $40,000.&#13;
You can play in 30 tournaments&#13;
and still be with the family 22&#13;
weeks out of the year."&#13;
The level of competition is also&#13;
getting tougher so the winning will&#13;
not be easy. Ervin discussed this:&#13;
"The competition is as tough right&#13;
now as it will ever be. No one will&#13;
ever get better than Lee Trevino or&#13;
Jack Nicklaus. You have six&#13;
players: 1. Nicklaus, 2. Lee&#13;
Trevino, 3. Gary Player, 4. Billy&#13;
Casper, and a tossup between&#13;
Arnold Palmer, Frank Beard and&#13;
Gene Littler for fifth place. Those&#13;
are seven great players and it's&#13;
hard to beat them."&#13;
"Trevino is really improving, "but&#13;
if N icklaus played in the amount of&#13;
tournaments that Trevino played&#13;
in there would be no comparison.&#13;
Nicklaus is in a field by himself. If&#13;
he plays in 30 tournaments in the&#13;
United States he will win $400,000.&#13;
He is really that good. We (the&#13;
caddies) know it because we are&#13;
out here and we see it. People who&#13;
just read in the papers don't really&#13;
see it — w e see it. He has an advantage&#13;
on the world playing golf.&#13;
Trevino right now is the hottest&#13;
thing on the golf tour, yet he has to&#13;
hit nine-irons to the green where&#13;
Nicklaus might be on the green in&#13;
one. He is really that long."&#13;
There are several factors that&#13;
make Nicklaus so tough, and Ervin&#13;
explained some of them: "It's his&#13;
physical strength for one thing, but&#13;
he is a great putter and a great left&#13;
to right player. If you get him on a&#13;
golf course where he must play&#13;
right to left then he can be handled&#13;
a little."&#13;
"Nicklaus knows he is the best&#13;
golfer and one thing that bothers&#13;
him now is that when he makes a&#13;
mistake he sometimes lets it get&#13;
the best of him, feeling that he is&#13;
letting people down because they&#13;
know he can make that shot and he&#13;
knows it himself. When he really&#13;
gets it going, gets his confidence&#13;
built up, there is no one in the world&#13;
who can touch him, and you can&#13;
ask Ben Hogan and Sam Sneed&#13;
about that. No doubt about it, he&#13;
hasn't reached his peak yet. He is&#13;
not even close to reaching it — he is&#13;
three years away from that."&#13;
After those seven players&#13;
previously mentioned, it's quite&#13;
well balanced according to Ervin.&#13;
"The young players can beat those&#13;
other players on any given day,"&#13;
he added.&#13;
Because of t he abundance of fine&#13;
players, some young players find&#13;
out that they just don't have it for&#13;
the golf tour or perhaps they get&#13;
sponsor problems. "Sometimes the&#13;
sponsor does not want to bear with&#13;
you when you are playing badly&#13;
and when the sponsor cuts you&#13;
loose then there is trouble," Ervin&#13;
said. &#13;
Page H NEWSCOPE August 2, 1971&#13;
by Sandy Principe&#13;
As Assistant Secretary of&#13;
Labor Arthur A. Flescher&#13;
recently remarked, women&#13;
workers today, "are not&#13;
auxiliary workers but an&#13;
integral part of the work&#13;
force."&#13;
There were 31.5 million&#13;
women in the work force on&#13;
the average in 1970. Roughly&#13;
one-fourth that number (8.2&#13;
million, or 23 per cent of the&#13;
working-age women) were&#13;
in the labor force in&#13;
January, 1920, the same&#13;
year that women gained the&#13;
right to vote. That was also&#13;
the year the Women's&#13;
Bureau was established in&#13;
the U.S. Department of&#13;
Labor "to formulate&#13;
standards and policies&#13;
which shall promote the&#13;
welfare of wage-earning&#13;
women, improve their&#13;
working conditions, increase&#13;
their efficiency, and&#13;
advance their opportunities&#13;
for profitable employment."&#13;
Each decade since 1920&#13;
has seen the proportion of&#13;
working women increase in&#13;
a variety of economic settings,&#13;
and amid many social&#13;
and technological changes.&#13;
Nine out of ten women will&#13;
work outside of the home&#13;
sometime in their lives,&#13;
most of these due to&#13;
economic need. Of the 37&#13;
million women who worked&#13;
in 1968, 17 per cent were&#13;
widowed, divorced or&#13;
separated from their&#13;
husbands; many of these&#13;
women were raising&#13;
children in a fatherless&#13;
home. Another 23 per cent of&#13;
the women workers were&#13;
single. In addition, married&#13;
women whose husbands'&#13;
incomes are inadequate or&#13;
barely adequate to support&#13;
their families often are&#13;
compelled to such gainful&#13;
employment.&#13;
For other women, a&#13;
career is a necessary and&#13;
fulfilling part of their lives.&#13;
Newell Brown, in his book&#13;
"After College . . . What",'&#13;
warns that while many&#13;
high school education or&#13;
better, however, the increase&#13;
was 7.4 percentage&#13;
points more. On the other&#13;
hand, the labor force participation&#13;
rates of women&#13;
with eight years or less of&#13;
nursing, library sciences,&#13;
social and welfare work,&#13;
and other professions&#13;
staffed largely by women.&#13;
The arithmetic of supply&#13;
and demand clearly shows&#13;
that this will have to change.&#13;
women lead careerless but&#13;
happy and constructive&#13;
lives, many others who&#13;
o r i g i n a l l y t h o u g h t&#13;
homemaking would be&#13;
enough and gave no thought&#13;
to a possible career, later on&#13;
find themselves wanting to&#13;
undertake rewarding paid&#13;
work outside the home.&#13;
Today these women&#13;
usually land jobs unworthy&#13;
of their talents or remain&#13;
uncomfortably at home.&#13;
"The point here, it seems&#13;
to me, is that the early&#13;
twenties may be too soon to&#13;
make a commitment to&#13;
careerlessness," Brown&#13;
says. As Stella Gray,&#13;
Chairman of t he Humanities&#13;
Department and Professor&#13;
of E nglish at the University&#13;
of Wisconsin-Parkside, said,&#13;
"No education is wasted,&#13;
even if a woman never&#13;
works. It opens many new&#13;
interests she may never&#13;
have discovered. She should&#13;
also be able to use it in&#13;
rearing her children and&#13;
guiding them through&#13;
school."&#13;
Educational attainment&#13;
appears to exert a stronger&#13;
influence today on whether&#13;
a woman works than it did in&#13;
October, 1952. The labor&#13;
force participation rate of&#13;
all women 18 years of age&#13;
and over increased 6.4(&#13;
percentage points to 42 per&#13;
cent from October, 1952, to&#13;
March, 1968. For those with&#13;
schooling were practically&#13;
unchanged over the same&#13;
period.&#13;
Still, the educational&#13;
backgrounds of a great&#13;
many women are not being&#13;
fully utilized in their jobs. A&#13;
startling seven per cent of&#13;
employed women who had&#13;
completed five or more&#13;
years of college were&#13;
working as service workers,&#13;
operatives, sales workers,&#13;
or clerical workers in March&#13;
of 1969. Nearly one-fifth of&#13;
employed women with four&#13;
years of college were&#13;
working in these occupations,&#13;
as were some&#13;
two-thirds of those who had&#13;
completed one to three&#13;
years of college. Women&#13;
have only recently been&#13;
recognized as the greatest&#13;
untapped labor resource in&#13;
our country. Employers&#13;
should consider cutting&#13;
work hours, making work&#13;
hours more practical for&#13;
women with families, to&#13;
make use of this resource.&#13;
Women must also expand&#13;
to other fields. The increasing&#13;
participation of&#13;
women in the labor force&#13;
and the narrow range of&#13;
professions in which the&#13;
majority of them seek&#13;
employment are at the heart&#13;
of the women workers'&#13;
problem. The growth of&#13;
p r o f e ss i o n al w om e n&#13;
workers reflects the exp&#13;
a n d i n g e mp l o y m e n t&#13;
requirements in teaching,&#13;
Although efforts to improve&#13;
women's representations in&#13;
professions staffed largely&#13;
by men have had only&#13;
limited results, it is evident&#13;
that women will have to&#13;
expand to other professional&#13;
areas. Of all fields,&#13;
medicine, dentistry, law,&#13;
engineering, the natural&#13;
sciences, architecture and&#13;
college teaching have the&#13;
smallest percentage of&#13;
women. For example,&#13;
women constitute seven per&#13;
cent of all physicians in the&#13;
country and only three per&#13;
cent of the total number of&#13;
persons in law — the same&#13;
percentage as 15 years ago.&#13;
The number of women&#13;
college graduates is expected&#13;
to increase by about&#13;
two-thirds over the 1968-80&#13;
period, nearly double the&#13;
rate of increase for men.&#13;
Thus, the only sensible&#13;
trend will be for women to&#13;
enlarge the range of occupations&#13;
for which they&#13;
prepare.&#13;
While there is still male&#13;
prejudice in many fields,&#13;
there is much more attention&#13;
being paid to&#13;
establishing a standard of&#13;
sex equality in the&#13;
Universities and employment&#13;
markets. Jewel&#13;
Echelbarger, coordinator&#13;
ofCounciling Services for&#13;
the University of WisconsinParkside,&#13;
last Monday&#13;
attended a meeting in&#13;
Madison of a committee&#13;
organized by the President&#13;
for the protection of&#13;
minority groups on campus.&#13;
While women are not&#13;
statistically a minority&#13;
group, representing 51 per&#13;
cent of the population, they&#13;
have been denied equal&#13;
rights as a group. Only&#13;
recently have they stepped&#13;
out of the stereotyped&#13;
traditional women's role&#13;
and organized to obtain&#13;
equal recognition for their&#13;
acco mpl ishm ents. T h e&#13;
committee was organized so&#13;
that should any group have&#13;
a grievance it can be heard&#13;
before this committee.&#13;
Just this past year, the&#13;
University system abolished&#13;
its laws restricting hiring of&#13;
married couples — both in&#13;
the capacity of professors.&#13;
Previously, if one was a&#13;
professor, the other could&#13;
not accept any position&#13;
above the status of instructor.&#13;
&#13;
I interviewed Stella Gray,&#13;
the highest ranking woman&#13;
at Parkside. Dr. Gray, it&#13;
seems, has had a perfect&#13;
combination of luck, skill&#13;
and timing. She remarked&#13;
that the University has been&#13;
very generous to her and&#13;
has encountered no real&#13;
difficulties in teaching or&#13;
administration which could&#13;
be attributed to her sex. She&#13;
said that it takes a special&#13;
kind of husband, family and&#13;
woman to make this careerwife-mother&#13;
combination&#13;
successful. "He has to be&#13;
willing to share you in this&#13;
way, for a comfortable life&#13;
anyhow, and willing to&#13;
develop your potential."&#13;
Whichever career, if any, a&#13;
woman chooses, she should&#13;
be free to practice or remain&#13;
home without prejudice or&#13;
ridicule. This is rapidly&#13;
becoming an accepted fact.&#13;
At a time when sandy beaches and&#13;
sparkling clear water are becoming as rare&#13;
as a 1943 copper penny, Racine residents&#13;
have a man-made lake at their fingertips.&#13;
The Racine Quarry is a haven for&#13;
weekend bathers, scuba divers,&#13;
photographers and anyone else with leisure&#13;
time on his hands.&#13;
Located on the city's northwest side,&#13;
the Quarry was almost used by a foundry&#13;
as a dumping site. In the 40's a farmer sold&#13;
the land to a club that sold memberships to&#13;
people who wanted to use the lake. The&#13;
area was called Aqualand but due to high&#13;
taxes the club was forced to sell the lake to&#13;
a foundry in 1967. That year Racine&#13;
residents sponsored a referendum for the&#13;
county to buy the land and make it into a&#13;
park rather than see it destroyed by industrial&#13;
wastes.&#13;
Since that time thousands of people&#13;
have ventured into the unique and&#13;
awesome area, and it is fast becoming one&#13;
of the area's favorite recreational spots.&#13;
Bathers can swim under the watchful eye&#13;
of trained lifeguards equipped with&#13;
rowboats for those who find themselves&#13;
exhausted far from shore.&#13;
A popular legend claims that the lake is&#13;
bottomless even though scuba divers have&#13;
set the lake's floor at 80 feet, but even a&#13;
skeptic might agree with the legend upon&#13;
first sight of the vast towering cliffs and&#13;
vegetation that surround the lake.&#13;
At night, before the park closes at 10,&#13;
the immense lake takes on a preternatural&#13;
appearance,- far from the hassles of the&#13;
nearby city. It is meditatively calm and fit&#13;
for a quiet stroll along the meandering&#13;
paths near the water's edge. And with a full&#13;
moon glancing off the still night water, one&#13;
can speculate how deep it is though it is&#13;
unlikely many would dare find out.&#13;
