Present 'A Switch An open letter to John C. Weaver, President of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wis. Dear President Weaver: The Brokaw Defense League is in receipt of your letter of July 26, 1971. In my letter of July 14, 1971, we requested a meeting with you to discuss (1) the continuing repression by the Parkside Administration of student and faculty rights and freedoms; (2) the recent non-retention decisions affecting five members of the Parkside faculty, made in the absence of "clear, specific and fully-public" guidelines for faculty review promised in Chancellor Wyllie's policy statement; and (3) the specifics of the nonretention decision regarding Dr. James Russell Brokaw. In your reply you chose to comment only on the last of these issues. Your letter states, "I am satisfied that hearing procedures in complete c o n f o r m a n c e w i t h University regulations were followed and the appropriate peer judgments were brought to bear." If this is the case, University regulations are in desperate need of change. The conditions of Dr. Brokaw's open hearing were a mockery of due process. Not only did the body which made the original non-renewal decision, the Science Division Executive Committee, act as the appelate body, but the Dean of the College of Science and Society functioned as a member of the Executive £Pmile Get Acqu ainted Uffer F REE LUBE Wit h Oil & Fi l t e r Ch a n g e PARKSIDE SHELL WASHINGTON ROA D & 3 0TH A V E. 6 5 4 - 9 9 68 C o m m i tt e e b e f o r e reviewing the non-retention decision. Furthermore, testimony was introduced at the open hearing implicating the Chancellor in the recommendation of the Executive Committee. The Administration involvement in the Executive Committee recommendation should have been sufficient to reverse the decision of the Executive Committee. Beyond this, Dr. Brokaw answered all of the "charges" that were submitted to his personnel file, most of which were submitted after the Executive Committee had made its non-renewal decision. "Peer judgements" were not involved in Dr. Brokaw's non-renewal. Unlike departmental review — th e review process at Madison — the Science Executive Committee review was made by members of many disciplines. Only two members of this body were members of Dr. Brokaw's discipline, psychology. These two psychologists acted to recommend Dr. Brokaw's termination in October of 1970, basing their review of Dr. Brokaw's work at Parkside the previous year on their experiences at Parkside since their arrival in September. Unmentioned in your letter are the other four faculty members recommended for non-renewal in the absence of guidelines for faculty review. These nonrenewal decisions are arbitrary, and in at least one instance, may constitute political firing.

R KEN OSH A _ _ there is strong evidence that Dr. Brokaw's termination may have been made for political reasons. There is no comment in your letter concerning the climate of political repression at Parkside. We cannot imagine why this goes unmentioned in your reply. The current situation at Parkside is well documented. Not only academic freedoms, but constitutionally protected rights have been infringed upon by the actions of the Parkside Administration, in their dealings with both faculty and students. We do not accept your decision regarding the nonrenewal of Dr. Brokaw. The civil courts are the next area of appeal, and we are urging him to pursue a resolution of the issues involved in his case in the civil courts. At the same time, other events at Parkside threaten the usefullness of that campus as an academic institution. We feel an investigation of the actions of the Wyllie Administration, particularly the Office of Student Affairs, is necessary to preserve Parkside as a part of the University of Wisconsin's educational system.

Huck is opposed to party politics in so much as he eels he could not work in that particular political arrangement because he would not act according to party policy. He believes that his conscience is more a barometer of his decisions than political obligations and was elected mayor without the endorsement of the traditionally influential labor or political organizations. Newscope spoke with Mayor Huck last week and discussed his opinions on topics ranging from taxation to welfare. Newscope: Do you have any political reasons for running for mayor? Huck: I said when I first ran that my intentions were not to be a career mayor, that I was hopeful what I wanted to accomplish could be done in two to four years and so I think this is probably my last time around. NS: What did you want to accomplish? Huck: Well, what I was looking for when I first came into office was an attempt at a stabilization of taxes. The tax rate in the city of Racine had increased by 33 per cent in the previous two years. I also looked for a reorganization of local government. I felt that we were attempting to do business and attempting to meet modern and conRacine's temporary problems with Outmoded governmental tools. Since I have taken office we have gone to a strong mayoral office. In the beginning there were only two employees out of a thousand that reported to me; my secretary and the sealer of weights and measures. I did not submit an executive budget, there were no staff meetings, no one talked to each other. So we attempted to reorganize August 9,1971 NEWSCOPE Page 3 accompanying access roads, is $196,624. The completion of the lots comes nearly IOV2 months later than originally planned. James Gailbraith, the Director of Planning and Construction, explained the delay was due to bad weather in the fall of 1970 and the great difficulty of building on a clay base. Rains last fall prevented work from beginning until late April of this year, he said. Work proceeded for about six weeks until all the material was brought in. Then it was discovered that the land had not yet drained from the spring rains. Drain tiles that farmers installed in order to work the land, Galbraith related, were actually bringing water into the parking lot because the area was a low point. They decided then to form a "moat" by cutting off the tiles in the lot from the rest of the system. But in July two damaging rains resulted in water being trapped on the surface. He said of working with the clay, "Clay is one of the trickiest materials to work with. No two clays are alike. It's consistent only if it's always wet, or only if it's always dry, but if it's both, that's jwhere the problem is." Galbraith noted in his talk with Newscope that while state funds paid for these lots, a new policy is being developed that requires new parking lots to be self amortizing — i.e. to be financed through funds generated from their use. by Marc Eisen of the Newscope staff Parking at the Parkside campus will be doubled by the fall semester with the belated completion of two permanent 1 lots east of Tallent Hall. It ends the problem that at times saw an excess of 200 to 300 cars without space to park in the Tallent Hall lot. The two lots, with a combined capacity of 1,000 cars, will supplement the present temporary Tallent Hall parking area. The'new lots are part of the campus master plan. The cost of the lots, including the Parking Readied For F all "With the asphalt layed now," Galbraith said, "there's not much we can do but try to stop the further penetration of water." He said that he has been advised by" the engineers that because of recent rains the soil is not as stable as it should be, and that minor failures in the lot should be expected in the future until the soil can be sealed. Galbraith described what happened as 'a real come uppance for everybody. It's been a challenging engineering problem. It's very difficult soil to work on. We've had our disappointments."

Since we have done some reorganizing in the executive branch, I feel now that we have to turn our attention to the legislative branch; the council. We have 18 part-time aldermen. I think we have too many first of all, and secondly, I think we could use full-time aldermen. structure four of our seven municipalities do not levy a municipal tax. Now this is -nonsense. Take the town of Mount Pleasant, one of the largest townships in the state, that provides services to its people but yet does not tax them for it. Obviously somebody's paying for it. With a municipality of our geographic location, with our skilled and semi-skilled people, pulling in the same direction in planning conA/layor Kenneth Huck 3're the third largest in the state and the ind largest industrial with corporate assets of $500 million and yet we to 18 part-time guys, make the policy for us.' an impossible situation, hat I'd like to see in the r future is a ropolitan government, e people are saying it's government, it's taking power away from the )le. I don't believe that's nder our present tax cepts and municipal services we would probably have one of the most progressive communities in the state, if not in the Midwest. But instead we have seven municipalities all going the opposite way. You just cannot plan for the future when across the road you're in another jurisdiction. We say we'd like to see multi-family dwellings developed here while they're building factories across the street. It's a ridiculous situation. NS: Would you say that centralized government is the answer? Huck: Yes, I'm sure some people would disagree and let the municipalities structrue the way they want, but I can't see that as being effective because I know the problems we have attempting to administer business now and I think this would just complicate issues. I think we have to consolidate. It's just like anything else; the theory is sound but the administration is going to make it or break it. Jacksonville is a good case in point because in the last three years, with their consolidation, their taxes have gone down and their services have improved. I think it's only as good as the administration. NS: Do you think by consolidating the city government it would help to stabilize taxes? Huck: I think if you took the total area east of 1-94 we could administer a good, sound program. If you go west of 1-94 it's like entering another state; it's rural in (Continued on Page 5) Nixon Rose In Poll Princeton, N.J.: Young people's approval of President Nixon rose sharply after his announcement that he would travel to the People's Republic of China before May of 1972. Fifty-seven per cent of the 18-29-year-old group now approve of the way Nixon is handling his job as President; 33 p er cent disapprove and ten per cent have no opinion. This 57 per cent approval is an increase of 11 per cent from the June 5-6 approval rate of 46 per cent. Clearly the 18-29-year-old group are the strongest supporters of the President's decision to visit Peking. Seventy-three per cent of those in this age group believe it is a good thing that the President will travel to China. Both surveys were conducted by telephone among a representative cross-section of telephone households. The, sample sizes for the June 5-6 survey and the July 20-21 survey were approximately 1,000 persons.

The twenty-four class show started at 9:00 A.M. There were seven halter classes and then a lunch break. The seventeen afternoon classes included among them speedand-action and English and Western pleasure and horsemanship classes. The Parkside Equestrian Club was formed last winter by a handful of horse admirers and owners. The club is open to everyone in the Parkside community on a regular or associate member basis. Anyone interested in a good nonpolluting, organic hobby is invited to stop at the PEC table during registration or come to one of the fall meetings.

Geils Band Atlantic SD 8275 Peter Wolf — Vocals Seth Justman — Piano and Organ Magic Dick — Ha rp J. Geils — Gu itar Danny Klien — Bass Stephen Bladd — Drum and Vocal A look at the album cover will give you a good idea what awaits you inside. It £ & 8 i n * •Ss? 03 t *3 appears to be a composite photo of the six top qualifiers of the 1955 mugging and knifing championship of greater Pittsburg. Their collective hairdoos could support several good sized oil wells, while their sneers make you think twice about walking home alone. One quickly comes to the conclusion that the reason they are pictured from the waist up is to reveal the group in their skin-tight chinos would render the album undisplayable in record shops. Needless to say, the music is hardly Swan Lake. Song titles like "Crusin' for a Love" and "Serves You Right to Suffer" should prove that. In place of Tschaikovsky, we find Juke Joint Jimmy and John Lee Hooker as the authors of the musical fare. Their styles have never been the type to be immortalized by the Vienna Boys Choir. It's too honest. The point of this review is not to give a critique of the authors or the style, but to discuss what the band does with them. It often seems that the entire album was recorded in about an hour of studio time. There is no semblence of polish or refinement, no dynamics and a distinct lack of orchestral coloring. The arrangements are uninvolved, and the solos simple. But that, people, is the blues. When done this way. it's good, accurate, meaningful blues. The harp player (with the dubious name of Magic Dick), puts meaning into his simple riffs. On guitar, J. Geils makes it by playing things that at times sound corny, but in really are breaks with all the phony, egotistical embellishments left out. Most of all, Peter Wolf's vocals show that this is music for the common man. His voice is rough and untrained. It doesn't take a Caruso to sing about a cheatin' woman or a bottle of c heap whiskey. It's music that can live only on honesty. If played sincerely as it is here, it's worth listening to. When I referred to the album as having been recorded in an hour or so, I meant that what they recorded is something that can't be over-dubbed and polished, without losing its appeal of sp ontineity. All the tunes are basically the same and every one has been heard before, but in no way detracts from the album. If you're not hung up on disciplined music and can see beauty in raw but honest efforts, you'll like this album. I3e< 0j JluAA/. 7j^.W. Not too long ago, I discovered a fine, late night bit of entertainment. On weekends, when social events are at a low ebb, I ventured into George Webb's on Roosevelt Road. Sipping the same cup of coffee for hours, I watch people come and eat in the middle of the night. I watched the waitresses serve people who were too spaced out, or too drunk, to care what they ate, and also I'd watch my reflection in the mirrors that make up the walls of this hamburger parlor. Minutes after the bars closed the doors to patrons, cars arrived at George Webb's as though it were a rendezvous spot for a local mid-evening parade of some sort. Backslapping, laughing and sometimes stumbling, the adult crowd would invade the "Webb" for eggs, pancakes, hash brown potatoes, hamburgers, chili, or whatever else fits the appetite. Most of the individuals tried to simulate breakfast while sometimes almost shouting to one another, sitting blurry eyed, or simply remaining on a stool at the counter in a trance-like condition. There is no better show in town at this time. Although they are funny, the events were also very interesting. I would sometimes see a drunk valiantly trying to keep his head from plunging into his order of fried eggs. It was nothing to see someone doze off for a minute or two while putting jelly on a piece of toast. George Webb enjoys a wide range of popularity. Factory workers who work late shifts, truck drivers, teenagers driving around in the night, laborers or mailmen on their way to a day's work, all eat here. Literary critics would be amazed by the menu, printed on two boards against the west wall of the tiny restaurant; "Real" chicken rice soup; "delicious" coffee, "farm fresh" eggs, "tender" wheatcakes, "golden" hash brown potatoes, "rich, creamy" butter. Such a modes! list of of ferings can hardly go unnoticed. Steak and eggs cost a dollar and a quarter. Hamburgers are twenty-four cents, two farm fresh eggs and toast are sixty-five cents, chili is by Paul Lomartire of the Newscope staff forty, and coffee, fifteen. No one can reasonably call George Webb's expensive, unless you have no money whatsoever. Questions concerning the quality of the food at this hamburger parlor don't seem to be very important to me. When one eats here late at night, he is either exhausted, spaced out or drunk. People in any of these conditions can hardly care about the degree of quality surrounding the food they are unconsciously shoving into their bodies. Anyone eating here in the middle of the day must like the atmosphere and food, since there are other restaurants open. The only real black eye that the restaurant has given itself is spelled out in a small sign above the entrance. "Minimum to Minors, 36 cents". The sign then states that there is a ten minute limit placed on minors' visits, and that they cannot smoke while in the restaurant. This sign seems to me to be out of place in any restaurant in America. Those individuals who work at this restaurant during the late hours have a fine sense of humor. Once a mosquito fell off a neon light onto my friend's piece of toast, just before she was to take a bite of it. The waitress and I both noticed the event at the same time. The George Webb employee quickly quipped, "We won't even charge you extra for his little visit." We all laughed as the waitress dropped another piece of toast in the toaster. Once in awhile, a long hair will wander in at a strange hour, and devour enormous amounts of food. I learned that this phenomenon is known to those of the counter-culture as the "midnight munchies". But these individuals aren't as frequent visitors as the drunks. It wouldn't be fair to write or infer that everyone who eats in this place late at night is of questionable character or behavior. Many of the customers eating here at all hours follow very normal behavior patterns. In any case, I enjoyed the hours I spent at George Webb's. It's very interesting to watch stoned, drunk and exhausted people stumble into the hamburger parlor and "name their poison." BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING THE ANDERSON TAPES Sean Connery Dyan Cannon Martin Balsam Alan King James Bond, the most invincible man in the world, moved stealthily down the cement-wet early morning street, the sound of his footsteps the only interruption of silence other than the occasional nervous taxi horn. I pretended to read my newspaper, mimmicking that New York aire of d isinterest while listening to those footsteps, whose separation in time relayed that same stalking stride .... animal. The man finally approached and I realized that the distance at which I was watching him had betrayed by description. As he went by I looked up and was surprised to see the most invincible man in the world to be balding; l o o k i n g m o r e l i k e a b u s i n e s s m a n j u s t a t m i d d l e a g e . . . . more preoccupied with the damp air and chill breeze than with the cold steel revolver that probably lay hybernating under his arm until the spring of death. Suddenly, aware of m y vigil, he stopped and turned. I looked into quieter eyes, tired of peril eyes; they were eyes Working Class by Paul Lomartire of the Newscope staff I was sitting in the back of the small grocery store when two young boys came in to hustle the butcher for some dog bones. With the aire and confidence of a 20 year customer, they presented their requests to the butcher who was sifting unquestionably through his scrap of the day, almost before they finished asking. Minutes later, three small children came and began haggling among themselves in little kid "jibber jabber". They wanted to spend their small change to their best advantage on penny candy. Little did they realize that the ritual of buying penny candy is amost extinct. A woman came in and talked to the butcher for a while. She seemed more a friend than a customer. She asked for a little of this, a half pound of that, and if he could cut a piece of meat a certain way. She took her fresh meat, picked a few other daily essentials before checking out. The middle aged lady was on her way home to begin supper. It was the end of a typical work day for Marco and Ann Stella. Stella's Market is located on the southside of Kenosha, where 14th Avenue and 70th street form a T. By all rights, 70th street should have been allowed to continue eastward, when the streets were created. For some strange reason, Stella's Market and a few other stores were granted immunity from progress. Walking east on 70th street from Lincoln Park will lead you right into the front door of the small grocery. Since 1927, Marco Stella has been running his store. A year or so later Ann became his wife and a valuable half of the business. For 44 years, Stella's Market has been visited by little kids for can dy, h o u s e wi v es for that were looking for rest rather than advisary As quicklv he moved on, disappearing down another street where someone else would have to look twice. So it was with Duke Anderson, a man who looked a lot like the most invincible man in the world, but the resemblance ends there. Connery plays a newly released prisoner, who after ten years in a penitentiary is imprisoned again into a world of watchers that plays as the archives of men's fate . . . tapes and cameras controlled" by men to control men. For about 25 minutes the audience is conditioned by a gray television type static which plays over the forms and faces on the screen; while this technique is a little overplayed, it is still successful with the help of percussionmoog music .... admittedly one does become a little desensitized by the electric smog. After his release from prison, Connery decides to go in again for Grand theft. The heist's goal is a luxury apartment building on New York's upper East side. The plan brings about the inevitable clash; lenses, and microphones vs. Homo Sapien Sapien and his wits. With this as the focal point of the story we have all the needed thrill material to make a chiller, but, happily, more was done with the film than this. Connery portrays a man who will probably never quite be played in the same way again. A man of honor with a distinct hatred for violence huddles beneath the exterior of a hardened man who's image of the criminal world is more befitting a revolutionary. He is given the task of killing one of the men assigned to him by the syndicate; he is repulsed by th e idea, and this repulsion becomes his undoing. The Anderson tapes are erased. Our burglars are surrounded by the police who methodically corner them, killing just about everyone involved. Connery has always been quite an actor, but because of this James Bond stigma he has carried with him it has been rather difficult for him to be considered anything more than a comic book hero. In this film, as in The Hill and A Fine Madness he has shown his ability through the mask of James Bond, making this otherwise saleable movie a "bit more. William Sorensen August 9,1971 NEWSCOPE Page 5 •we' REACTION by Paul Lomartire Last Thursday had all the makings of a fine day for me. I didn't have to struggle to keep my eyes open an hour after I woke up, the AM discjockies weren't punishing listeners with the usual trash, and the morning mail brought no bills, bad news or junk. Breakfast tasted unusually good. I read the Chicago Sun-Times and realized that the Cubs had won a double header. It all sounded fine. After a few morning odds and ends, I headed out the front door ready to enjoy the day. Even though the absence of August humidity and heat would mean a reduction in the wealth of g arden tomatoes, I "still enjoyed walking through Indian summer breezes a bit early in the year. About half a block from home, I saw a neighborhood kid bending over a flamin' red tricycle that was having obvious mechanical trouble. It was upside down in the middle of the sidewalk, as he was trying to decide why a back wheel wobbled. He transferred dirt from his hands to his face every time he wiped a few locks of hair out of h is eyes. When he saw me coming, he ran up and greeted me with a request for help. After a few minutes of minor repair, he was able to jump on his bike and merrily peddle his way down the sidewalk, chasing a stray dog. Warren Nedry, Newscope editor, met me an hour or so later. He began to fill me in on the news of the day, as he usually does. The interview I had set up between John Koloen of the staff and the Mayor of Racine had come off without a hitch. Marc Eisen made it to the Ravinia Miles Davis concert all right, and no one was complaining very loudly about the layout of the last issue of the paper, in which pages 2 and 8 got confused. I told Warren that I had decided upon the week's "Working Class Hero" and an "Eating Out" had to only be transferred from my mind onto paper. This week's deadline wasn't going to be hanging over my head like a guillotine blade for once. Rarely did even the journalism business look this good late in the week. I began to tell Warren how fine things were going, when he told me about "the phone call" Warren had been answering the Newscope telephone all morning. "Good morning, Newscope." "Is Lomartire there?" "No he isn't here right now." "Who's this?" "Warren Nedry" "Don't cha think you were a little racist and bigotted on Page 5?" "Pardon." "I think you were racist and bigotted on Page five." "Which article are you ..." CLICK My reaction was, "C'mon, Warren, did you really get a call like that?" Then I realized that editors don't make jokes about complaints concerning articles that appear in papers under their leadership. I wasn't shook up. I've become used to criticism. After I was interviewed by the Kenosha News about my trip to Washington, D.C., on May Day, I got telephone calls from individuals telling me I was a rotten Communist, and why didn't I drop dead. In the past, I have even gotten a few bad responses to my "Eating Out" columns, but the people identified themselves, and their criticism wasn't of a political or personal nature. But an anonymous call over the statement, "Any Jew worth his weight in blintzs has to admit that Ruby's offers a fine corned beef sandwich." I couldn't believe this qualified me as a "racist bigot". Mister devout and proven member of the left a "racist bigot" over a statement concerning a corned beef sandwich. Why couldn't the caller at least have identified himself? The rest of the day went downhill. All of a sudden it was too cold, the AM disc-jockies were punishing listeners with the usual trash, and lunch tasted terrible. I knew I shouldn't let the call bother me, but there are some things that can bother even "thick skinned" individuals. All the way home I didn't talk to anyone. I just felt Thursday dissolve in my mind. Once back in my neighborhood late in the afternoon, I noticed the same little kid bent over his red tricycle in the middle of t he sidewalk. A wheel had fallen off, and he was kicking the hell out of the toy that had failed him. I couldn't see why I should help the kid, he just might be Jewish. Heroes-. Mr. and Mrs. Marco Stella fresh meat and boys for dog bones. While sitting in the back of the place by the meat counter, I talked to Marco Stella, who has always been the butcher and owner. Between greeting and serving customers, and slicing big hunks of meat into dinner table proportions, he talked with me about the future of small groceries, inflation and himself. I asked if the day was coming when a neighborhood grocery store would be a thing of the past. "Yes", he said, "because none of the small groceries are training anyone. There used to be one or two boys in the neighborhood who would come to work here and I could teach them meat cutting. Now there is no one." "I know if I were 20 years younger, I'd go to the big stores and get all the benefits," he continued. I then asked where he learned the trade. Marco picked up the knowledge behind his work with experience. A couple years here and there, as he puts it, California, Chicago and Kenosha. In Kenosha, he worked for Philbin and Degen, who, in the twenties, were the biggest butchers in town. He also worked with his father before opening his own store in 1927. The main attraction to Stella's Market lies in the personal service. Certain cuts of meat, special family favorites, and other small but important services keep a steady clientele. I wondered if recent inflation . had hurt his business. Inflation had indeed hurt his surplus buying Marco said. But in the number of customers he said "We've been holding out own. In fact," Marco said, "we've gained on meat sales." Huck (Continued from Page 3) nature while the area east of the highway is urban. With the industrial complexes that we have, ana the natural assets and resources we have, I think we could really do a A typical work day for Marco and Ann Stella is nine to ten hours. Ann must assemble orders to be delivered, and check out customers. Marco handles the meat counter, and occasionally helps out at the resgister. Together, they have seen three generations of neighborhood families come to do business in their store. Marco and Ann Stella are working class heros of a special sort. The services they render beyond the grocery business can only be counted in personal favors and solid friendships, in and around the neighborhood. Their value bypasses trading stamps, giant air conditioned monsters, and chain store public relations. Stella's Market can best be judged in free dog bones, penny candy, and friendliness that can't be sold. tremendous job. NS: Presently, what would you consider to be the main problems of the city? Huck: It's really difficult with the many problems we do have to say this one is more important than that one. Obviously unemployment today in the city of Racine is a very bad situation. The many social problems that we have in our city and the many needs ... I think that as we live within the inequities that we presently have within the state of W i s c o n si n , as far as taxation goes, we are burdened. The property tax is outmoded, it's antiquated, it should be done away with. It was never intended to support welfare, it was not intended to support the education programs, it was not intended to support pollution a b a t e me n t programs and so forth. We're overburdening our low income, senior citizens ana driving them out of their homes. 1 think one of the problems we have to face head on is to completely revamp our tax structure. The property tax can no longer be the main source of revenue. Even though the city of Racine is a comparatively rich community, because of our present tax structure, as our monies go to Madison and Washington D.C., we find that we don't have enough left to meet our needs. NS: As a final question, what is the city's stand on the topless controversy? Huck: I can't speak for the whole city, of course, because I know there are aldermen on the floor that have different viewpoint^ than I do. We have some aldermen that are rather Puritan in their approach and we have others that are a whole lot less than that. I think somewhere in the middle there's a reasonable ground. The thing that I was upset about concerning this kind of entertainment was something we saw the other day at the outdoor. If a person is 21 years old and they want to see a certain type of entertainment, I find it very difficult for me to say no, you can't do that. But by the same token, I. don't think that this sould be pushed on the general public through the advertising media and so forth, if they don't want it. I don't think you should have to give an eight year old an explanation when you're driving by a bar with a big toples-bottomless sign and a few other things that might be on the sign, or when the drum and bugle corp is practicing at Starbuck and watching 101 Acts of Love or whatever.

'Cause you've just spent six hours with her and you like her, but there's something missing. "What's she really like?" you keep wondering to yourself. So you go up to talk to her and you find a pretty girl with long blonde hair, a wide smile, and a fashion model's leanness, you like all that, and you find she's easy to interview and it's going to be a breeze story. It's over after 50 minutes, you get up to leave, and it hits you then: she's said next to nothing about herself. You walk away puzzled, still wondering where her head's at, but respecting, yet, her desire to keep her personal life personal. She's Wendy, and between midnight and six in the morning on WRKR fm radio she plays a mixed brew of underground and occasional top 40 music that is unique in Racine-Kenosha radio. She's been at WRKR since last December when the station changed its format to a combination of top 40 and underground sounds. Before then she worked at the cream of Wisconsin underground stations, WTOS and WZMF, both out of the Milwaukee area. She says she prefers WRKR to the Milwaukee stations. Freedom to program her own show is a prime reason. In Milwaukee, at times, she had to follow a format closely. "My program is strictly my thing; what I feel like getting into that night," she says of her show at WRKR. "I program according to what I feel the audience wants to hear, the mood I'm in, and the requests I get. "They give me a wide rein as to what type of music I play," she continued. "In one night I can go from top 40 to jazz, and never stop to think about it." She feels, furthermore, the people at the Milwaukee stations were more interested in becoming God images than DJ's putting on a they can call up and talk to if they have a problem." Wendy feels WRKR is one of the most unique stations in the nation. The loose format has top 40 cuts mixed with album cuts in the day — "It has worked out so it sounds good" — followed in the evening with a higher proportion of album cuts, then with almost all album material in her show. 'Spend the night with Wendy' good show. "What I hope to accomplish with my program is to play the music the people want to hear, to entertain people with the music they know and the music they may not know. And to be — this may sound stupid — t he type of person they would consider a friend; not to be Superstar Wendy behind the microphone, cold and impersonal," she says. "I want to be the type of person The format is failry well on its feet in regard to finances. Except she would like to get a sponsor to support the entire six hours of her show, in order that the sponsor become identified with her program. No audience survey has been taken yet, so the size of it is unknown. She believes, though, WRKR has attracted a good listening audience. On her best night during the past week she received about 600 c alls from listeners. ''The people who listen to my show are really nice. I get a lot of people calling up just to talk, and a lot for requests. I get the typical crank calls — people calling up and asking me what I look like and would I like to go out on a date," she shrugs. Wendy entered radio in 1968 when she heard of an opening at WTOS after being in radio school for about a week. She took it and later received her diploma from the school. "There was no earthly reason in the world why I wanted to. become a radio announcer. It was sort of a last resort thing," she says now. When asked about herself, Wendy smiled engagingly and sidestepped the question. She said while in Milwaukee she used her own name and got too many hassles because of it. Asked if she was part of the underground, she allowed, "I feel that I'm just Wendy, and if I happen to fit into the underground — fine. But if I fit into something else — that's cool, too. My friends go from Mr. Businessman to someone panhandling on Main street." What bothers her the most? "One thing that is really hard to take is to have someone call you at 3 o'clock in the morning when you think you're doing a good show and have them say, 'You playing that same shit again?' It totally wipes you out." Outside of people like that, she believes "Racine and Kenosha are coming into their own as far as having 'hip people'."

Unlike many baseball biographies that paint the game up as perhaps the most ideal career a young man can aspire to, Bouton points out shortcomings in the attitudes and general behavior of people who play the game. Included in the discussion are such items as relationships among teammates, travel, what ballplayers do in their spare time, along with the heartaches and thrills that are part of the major league scene. Perhaps the reason that Bouton's book appears to be a more realistic portrayal of life in the major leagues than other baseball books is that it was written primarily about a season in which Bouton was trying to make a comeback in the game. He did not have the security that the superstars enjoy. Most baseball biographies are about superstars who possess so much talent that they have very few worries about playing ball effectively. Bouton's book is probably more identifiable to the great majority of players who have to struggle to make a living in the intensely competitive baseball world. Not that Bouton never ex-n player when he is cut: "You walk into the clubhouse and you see a guy packing his bag and you both try not to look at each other. Most guys won't pack until they know everybody is busy on the field, but sometimes you surprise Somebody in there and it's always awkward." Bouton later was to experience A LOOK AT BALL perienced being in the spotlight. In 1963 he wpn 21 games for the New York Yankess. The following year he chalked up 18 victories for them, plus two more in the World Series. But Bouton was not destined to stay on top for long. Shortly afterward, he lost his fastball — a fate that befalls many promising young pitchers. He was sent to the minors, but, through considerable effort, worked his way back to the majors. Worried over his weakened arm, he spent many frustrating hours working on his knuckleball, and because of his arm problem, he concluded that it would have to be his primary pitch. Jim lived under the fear of getting cut from the Seattle squad. He explains a typical reaction of a being sent to the minors during his stay with Seattle, but he was soon [recalled to the parent club and Patronize Newscope Advertizers remained with it until near the end of the season when he was traded to the Houston Astros. Some evidence of habits that ballplayers possess is revealed in a statement by Jim Pagliaroni, a catcher. Before the players left the park after a game they were told to show up at 10:30 a.m. the next day as the game would start early because of national television. Upon hearing this, Pagliaroni replied, "Ten-thirty, I'm not even done throwing up at that hour." The above remarks are just a small example of the interesting anecdotes found in the book that help make it appear closer to reality than statements found in some straight laced baseball books such as this series of ideas dealing with the goals and behavior of a certain player: "He had no time for movies, golf, tennis, taverns, night clubs or social affairs. He decided early in life that he was going to be a big leaguer and a good one. He saw drinking men at close hand. No need to go into details. But young as he was then he saw that the men who drank were not as keen on the baseball field as those who abstained .... He never smoked, and never drank intoxicating liquor of any kind. He shunned movies because he reasoned that viewing films made the eyes tired. He wanted his eyes and his muscles to be sharp and keen for his one lofe in life, which was always baseball." True, the above statements contain worthwhile goals, but if you want to get closer to the reality of major league life for most players, Bouton's book, despite the sensationalism found in it, would probably be a better bet.

UWP Sports Page 8 NF'VSCOPE Augusts, 1971 by Jim Koloen Title: Black Elk Speaks Author: John G. Neihardt Publisher: Bison Books (1.50) The white man's whirlpool of guilt is on the recent rise, white man qua American, conqueror of nature now destroying it, has the time to look back in remorse at his ancestors, more and more falling into the mucky loopholes of white history. We * O o have admitted to our ancestors' atrocities, we are accepting the responsibility for them, the monkey on our backs is heavy guilt. We are able to condemn ourselves because we have enough leisure time to do so. Our Colonial kins' first fictims, of course, were the red savages who lived on the land without ever conceiving of it as property (their biggest sin). Black Elk Speaks (280 pages) is the life story of a holy man of the Oglala Sioux and it represents one of white history's loopholes, a quagmire. This book is timely even though it was first published in 1932. It will be timely forever; it was timely long before it was written; it is the record of a culture and of th e spirit Huck (Continued from Page 5) was out there, but it was a film that was a little risque for an outdoor theatre; when you can stand on Ohio street you don't have to hear it because the kids can see the nuidy. This I think is a little bit too much. I think we have to regulate this type of entertainment so that they are not infringing on the rights of others but at the same time not denying their rights either. That's a pretty tough position to define and of a people. Black Elk Speaks represents another point of view, it presents a nature culture which has only recently found its white surrogate among the back to the land faddists. I use the term fad because it is a false move, you just can't go back, there are no buffalo and we have already conquered the Gods, like it or not modern man is not a farmer, he is a cog. No, there is a difference between a nature culture and a nature fad, and Black Elk Speaks is exhibit A for my contention. Black Elk was an old medicine man when he told his life story to poet Neihardt. He traces his life from his first visions at age nine to the last time he was to say something "to the Six Grandfathers". Through him we learn about the murder of a nation, through him we can feel the warriors' pride being shoved into the mud. Close to and in harmony with God and nature, the Plains Indians respected them, their souls were tuned to a cosmic tuning fork. With the industrial "revolution" White man mass-produced his own tuning forks, his soul attuned to a machine. The visions the holy man presents us are impressive, what we dopers have vaguely (on occasion) envisioned through external stimulation, Black Elk felt and saw involuntarily, he could no more turn them on or off than he could run away from them. The life story gives us insights into the two Pahuskas (longhairs Custer and Buffalo Bill), the last stand and the Wild West Shows, into the mysterious superhero that Crazy Horse was to the Indians, how soldiers murdered him, how soldiers murdered the old man Sitting Bull, how white men destroyed the buffalo for a reason no Indian could understand, for. sport. We follow the long list of broken promises, of how the Indians were forced out of their lands by force and lies, promised food and shelter in return they froze and starved in the winter ("all we got were lies and you can't eat lies.") "It was our land." It was and the Grandfather in Washington took it with lies. The Battle of Wounded Knee broke the nation's hoop, it was a massacre of Indians, their last stand in which the majority of victims were women and children. We herded the survivors into square houses, in "islands of land" (reservations) which had no power. The circle was a basic element in the Plains Indians metaphysic, everything in the universe is cyclical, eternal, it is like nature, it has power. The suqare house is no more than a square house, the tepee was a metaphor for the power of G od, the universe, nature. The incidents portrayed in this book are interesting, the visions are real (that phrase, incidentally, is not a contradiction of te rms), the ear and pen of Neihardt capture the nuances and syntax of the Indian, the final product is poignant and poetic. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Neihardt's book is the feeling that overcomes the reader of the fantastically complex yet simple blend of metaphysics and man and nature that formed the Indian Nation. Behind every cloud there is a metaphor and behind that is a symbol and behind that is a messenger of a God and behind every God there is the cloud. If the buffalo was a source of food and shelter it was also sacred, if a tepee was functional it also reflected the power of the nation's hoop and the cycle of life. If yo u killed an enemy or won a battle you celebrated, you danced, you shouted to the Gods, you were happy that you had killed an enemy, and proud, you went to battle and "it was a good day to die". You put everything on the line for your nation, your people, a good day to die. The Plains Indians were so primitive that they even had the welfare problem licked. The young braves hunted buffalo for the feeble and the sick, and were honored that their was the privilege. "The yellow metal that makes white men crazy" led to General Crook's invasion of the Black Hills, Wounded Knee was the culmination, and the Indians couldn't even understand why the yellow metal was so important. The white man was as alien to the Indian as the Indian was to the white man, after reading this book it will dawn on you that the difference was a thing called nobility, a thing that died at Wounded Knee. The real is yonder and the darkened dream of it was Black Elk's visions. If you don't read this book you're only cheating yourself.

Now I know some people will say, 'close em' down, they're no good, they're sinful', I don't think we can talk strictly morality here, I think we have to talk the mores of the community. I definitely feel that if there is a legal case in point it should be tried initially by local courts. I don't think that a federal judge or the US Supreme Court should decide what the mores of Racine, Wisconsin are because it's okay in Chicago or Los Angeles. We're talking about completely different types of communities, and the way people think, and the way they believe and what have you. I don't care what Los Angeles wants to do, but I know that the majority of the people in the city of Racine have certain mores that they live by. Now if this is what they want, fine.

We're in a situation now though that everytime you turn around, bam, you're in a federal court. You don't bother to go through the process anymore, you're right in front of a federal judge who has a political appointment for fife — a nd he could care less. This is the way I feel about Judge Reynolds. I think that he hasn't had the guts to make decision. I'm not what his decision should be, but I think he ought to have enough guts to say 'here it is, gentlemen', because now we're set on one case and it's going to take us a year to get a decision from the man and then it's not going to be his own; he's going to appoint two other judges and the panel of three will get together and work this thing out. This political appointment for life leaves a little bit to be desired as far as our judicial system goes.
