Public Hearing: Opposition to Annexation Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document University of Wisconsin - Parkside ilr Number 9 March 6,1972 Mayor Burkee explained proposed annexation at publie meeting held in Greenquist. public hearing Opposition to A nnexation by Jim Koloen of the Newscope staff Room 103 Greenquist Hall was the scene last Tuesday night of a public meeting concerning the latest move to annex the Parkside campus and a strip of land connecting the campus, with the city of Kenosha. An hour and a half of speeches preceded an almost equally long question and answer period. Mayor Wallace Burkee, City Planner John Kolstad and Assistant City Planner Tom Pitts presented the city's argument for annexation, while eight speakers including County Supervisors Charles Huck and Gilbert Ebner, area property owners, a Parkside Village resident and Dean Loumos, President of SGA, spoke against it. The hearing which began at 7:30, was sponsored by the Parkside Student Government Association and was moderated by Jim Twist, a student senator. The three city officials presented their arguments first, all of which ran over the seven minute time limit allotted to speeches; later they would be asked many pointed questions. The three city officials referred often to a'series of charts and maps they had taped to a blackboard earlier in the evening, liberally injecting statistics into their presentations. The city men had obviously been through this kind of thing before; they spoke in even tones, in marked contrast to the speakers who would follow them, explaining their case point by point. Unlike the speakers who followed them with arguments against the proposed annexation, the city officials received no reaction from the strongly partisan audience, except for an occasional muffled groan, while the other speakers were greeted and interrupted by enthusiastic applause. Mayor Burkee, who spoke first, explained that the city paid for the 15 inch sewer which presently serves Parkside, as well as water service. He indicated that the existing sewer line would be "adequate until 1973 with no new building, no new additions." He explained to the audience that after 1973 "the present sewer would overflow: You just can't put five pounds in a three pound bag". He informed the 50 to 60 people in the audience that three developers already have plans for building 1,000 new apartments in the area. "I didn't ask for annexation, developers like USGI did." The modishly dressed Pitts followed the mayor's speech with an explanation of the procedure required of a direct annexation, which is the type now proposed. Direct annexation, he explained, does not require a referendum, it needs the signatures of 50 p er cent of the residents who live in the area, and the signatures of 50 per cent of the property owners or the signatures of owners whose land is valued at 50 per cent of t he assessed value of the total area. He told the audience that in order to annex Parkside, "a corridor of land is necessary in order to make the campus contiguous to the city." Later the opposition would contest his statement, they would ask why just a corrodor, why not an orderly annexation of the entire area between Parkside and the city. Kolstad ended the city's presentation stating that the "city is more developed and is better able to provide all types of municipal services to the area . . . available upon annexation." The City Planner pointed out to the audience, much of which was composed of area farmers, that "farmed agricultural land does not pay nearly as much as apartments would on the same property." He expressed the belief that annexation is necessary for the further growth of the University. County Supervisor Charles Huck spoke next, and said the proposed "annexation would cut Somers almost in two". He echoed the sentiments of many in the audience, concerning the way in which the annexation is drawn up; "It's not orderly." He stated that if the "taxes go (Continued on Page 8) UWP in U.N. Summer Seminar The University of WisconsinParkside will participate in the seventh annual Wisconsin Universities United Nations Summer Seminar June 19 - Aug. 12 in New York City. The Summer Seminar is an eight-week program of intensive study of the U.N. at its headquarters administered by UW-Milwaukee and additionally sponsored by ten other UW campuses including Parkside, the Johnson Foundation of Racine, the Institute for International Order in New York City and the Cudahy Fund of Milwaukee. The participating universities will send a total of 20 juniors and seniors to the seminar, including one or two from Parkside. The representatives will be selected from applicants later this Spring by the political science faculty. Students will take six credits of political science courses in New York taught by UW system faculty, supplemented by lectures from members of the U.N. Secretariat and national delegations. Students also will attend meetings of the U.N. and related agencies. Sponsors say they have designed the program so that the cost to participating students is no more than six credits and room and board would be during the summer at UWM, an estimated $520. To make this possible, the Seminar covers the round-trip air fare between Milwaukee and New York. UW-P students interested in applying for the program should contact John Harbeson of the political science faculty or Dean Eugene Norwood by Mar. 27. Applicants must be Wisconsin residents, be juniors or seniors by this summer, have had a "substantial" number of social science courses, including a basic course in political science, and have a grade point average of at least 2.50. SGA to Co-Sponsor Charity Dance by Larry Jones of the Newscope staff Parkside's Student Government Association (PSGA) has agreed to co-sponsor a charity dance with the other four schools in the area. Larry Beck, of t he Kenosha Technical Institute, made the request for participation at the March 2 meeting of PSGA. Beck stated that the basic purpose of the event is to make a start at bringing the five schools together — in this case socially, and hopefully many other ways in the future. The dance will also raise money for a local charity, still to be decided upon. According to Beck, the event was held last year with only Parkside not participating. The request was turned down by the Board of Regents because of technicalities in financing. He said they hoped to avoid the problem this year by going directly to the student government. Last year, the other four schools, KTI, RTI, Dominican and Carthage, sponsored the event at Bristol Oaks and drew a crowd of some 300 people on a night which included a bad sleet storm. At that, they were able to give $250 to Southern Colony. The event this year is again planned for Bristol Oaks, with the rental cost down from $500 to $200. The hope is that three bands will donate their services, which would only leave the rental and police protection to be paid for. Should any loss occur, one fifth of it would be underwritten by PSGA, according to Beck. No date has yet been set for the event. In other business at Thursday's meetipg, PSGA: — accepted the resignation of Dave Kerner because a full time job kept him from devoting enough time to government; — tabled a request for funds by the Parkside Women's Caucus until a complete report on finances is made and other student groups submit budgets; — ag reed to send a representative to the governor's Student Advisory Committee on financial aids, which meets monthly in Madison; and — established a committee to study the feasibility of a symposium which would "offer students educational opportunities other than traditional classroom chores." Elections will be held Tuesday, March 7, and Wednesday, March 8. According to Elections Committee Chairman Jim Twist, only two nominating petitions have been filed for four vacant positions. Both are for the position of senator, thus leaving the positions of recording and corresponding secretaries vacant. SGA ELECTIONS Two students nave inea nomination petitions for four vacant positions in the.SGA's spring election Tuesday and Wednesday, Mar. 7 and 9. Mark Harris and Tom Haack will be running for two senate positions vacated by Dave Kerner and Jim DeBerge. No nominating petitions were filed for the offices of recording secretary and corresponding secretary. Both of these positions are vacant due to the resignations of Jeanette Dremel and Don Koser. Write-in candidates will be accepted though prospective write-ins must abide by the elections rules passed by the Senate on February 21 and published in NEWSCOPE on February 28. Copies of the laws governing elections are available on request from the SGA ovvice, Hwy. A and Wood Road (553-2493 o r 553-2244). Polling places will be located in the main lobby of the Racine campus, the main entrance to the Kenosha campus, and in the Greenquist concourse. Polls will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Violations of the election laws or other irregularities should be reported to James Twist, Chairman of the Election Committee, or to committee members John Regnery, Becky Ecklund, Peter Gallo, Timothy Prostko or Mike Baxter. STAFF ELECTIONS Thur. Noon at the office Thomas E. Haack Prospective Senator The auspices that I run under are that I will not let Parkside become another Chicago with a "machine" that runs it. I believe strongly in student involvement in all policies that will affect the students, and also believe in what the present PSGA President and VicePresident are trying to do for our school. CANDIDATE: Mark R. Harris OFFICE: Student Senator The primary purpose of Student Government, as I see it, is to provide responsible and effective representation and leadership for the Parkside student body. As a voter, you should realize that Student Government is currently very limited in what it can do in many areas; thus, in order to be effective, I believe that the Parkside Student Government Association must develop a close working relationship with both faculty and administration. This does not imply student acquiescence in all the wishes of the administration or faculty, but rather, it implies responsible and constructive criticism, which should win the respect of faculty members and ad- (Continued on Page 6) Page 2 NEWSCOPE March G, 1972 PU* ** fm Art Kfl Wlim KA AM Wl AA KN KN ** Krt IUI K*A* ** Wl I RUBYS "Ruby's has the best corned beef sandwich in town" Paul Lomartire A jAucA/, t> (yy (X^UJXJ thb lyOjVv (JjyMb 5535-6 Ave. Kenosha 'I'I'I'I'I'IIIIIIIIIII'T'Til 1T1T1T1T1T1TIT 1T1T1T»TiTiTil ^OUU/ waaXJI, tyutAjXi, <£r*Q(JjUA+tJi Qit+taljUUJ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR skiers have gas To the Editor, The third annual ski trek' to Whitecap Mountain proved to be a gas. Six inches of new snow on Friday night led to Saturday morning's rape of the virgin powder by P-Side skiers. Having been high on top of Whitecap Mountain, The Ragtime Rangers et. al. took it upon themselves to show the northern locals they had no claim to supremacy over the area. The sparkling white lady succumbed graciously to the thirty eight P-Side skiers who carressed her every flake. Saturday night's party contributed to Sunday morn's overdose of coffee and sun glasses, yet the mysterious mistress of the mountain beckoned to the P-Side skiers who went back for seconds. As the shadows lengthened, weary skiers boarded their bus for K-Town with smiles on their faces, and sank softly into their seats to await the next Whitecap trip on March 17, 18 and 19. Ragtime Rangers tegim* Mel Goode, nationally known news commentator for the American Broadcasting Company, spoke to a group of 50 people Februarjy28 in the Badger room of the Racine campus. Emphasizing the need for understanding among all people Goode said, "In five years with the right kind of leadership Racine could be the Ail-American city but this couldn't happen if there is no equality." He went on to say that inter-communication is the only way to solve the problems of the cities. "Materially we are the greatest country in the world. . . but we haven't been able to get along with each other," Goode said. Goode was brought to Parkside through the co-operation of the Black Student Union and the Racine Commission on Human Relations. rings for the blind Shucord to Read Poems To the Editor,.

Legion Blood D rive The American Legion Somer's post has notified UWParkside that it will sponsor a blood drive on Friday, April 7, from noon until eight at night. Blood donations will be used for veterans at Woods Veteran's Hospital. They are going to be collected at the Somer's Post. A Milwaukee County blood mobile is going to collect the blood for Woods Hospital. To be eligible to give blood the donors are asmed to be between the ages of 16 and 65. They must fill out a form and these are available at the Student Activities Office or at the A. L. Post on Friday, April 7. Every time a veteran at the hospital receives blood, the county he is from gets the bill. Kenosha County currently owes for 160 p ints of blood. Though the Somer's Post is organizing the drive, the entire county of Kenosha is affected. They have notified the other A. L. Posts, the Reserves, and Carthage, besides UW-P. Donors should follow Kenosha County Hwy. E west, traveling one-half mile beyond the train tracks, until they come to an old fire house. There will be signs at the front of the building.

Olson, U.W.P. student running for Kenosha School Board. UWP Student Candidate for School Board hv by JJim k'aIaoh 1 im Koloen of the Newscope staff On April 4th, a Parkside student will spend a restless day wondering if he has won himself a new job. Junior English major Eric J. Olson announced his candidacy for one of two vacant seats on the Kenosha school board, one week before the filing deadline. Olson took wome time out of his low-keyed campaign to discuss his candidacy with Newscope. The tall, dark haired marine veteran explained why he decided to run for public office: "The school board needs an alternative voice, a different viewpoint, one which isn't spoken from the position of a middleaged, upper middle income professional." The amiable P-sider told Newscope that if elected he would be "the youngest member ever to sit on the school board. Right now," he continued, "the average age of the present board members is between 40 and 50, it needs younger members." The Kenosha native, who is making his first bid at elected office, explained that the board can no longer continue "tackling new problems with the same old methods. I've spoken to a great many people since announcing my candidacy, and I've received many favorable comments from older as well as younger voters as to the need for a young board member. This is all new to me, but what really surprised me was the amount of interest, you could say fervent interest people, particularly older people have in the school board. I think one of the reasons for this interest lies in the fact that the board has the biggest budget in the city government. Another reason, of course, is the fact that many of these citizens have children attending schoool in the Kenosha Unified school district." Olson explained some of the goals he wants to meet if he is elected: "I'd like to transfer the cost of education from local property taxes to federal and state aids. The elderly particularly can no longer afford the high property taxes which are caused by the rising cost of education. I agree with Lindsay when he says that education must be funded with federal monies. We must take the burden off the property owners' backs, it's gotten so many people can no longer afford to live." When asked about any specific proposals he has in mind in structuring local education he responded that "at least 20 per cent of the high school student body in this city isn't interested in what they're learning." Olson explained that "these students don't care about college prep courses, and they find the traditional high school curriculum boring. These students are interested in technical skills, things like automotive mechanics." Olson said he would like to institute a liaison between local industry and business with the schools, in order to broaden the op portunities for students to learn technical skills. "For instance I can't see why AMC can't help organize a course at their plant, and take in students who are interested in automotive mechanics. What it comes down to is simply changing your approach to education; why centralize it all in one building?" Olson explained that he'd been following a recent innovation in the Cleveland area "which has a school of perhaps 300 'difficult' students spread out over an area of six city blocks. These students learn not in the traditional classroom setting, but in places like the backs of stores and neighborhood shops. The results of this experiment lyive been favorable, the students seem to be learning." The 23 years old candidate explained that it was obviously correct to emphasize the basic courses, such as math and English, but* not to the detriment of the individual; schools should tailor classes to the student rather than the student to the classes. The seat Eric Olson is running for has a tenure of three years, one incumbent and ten other candidates are competing with him for the two vacant positions. Olson said he would like to see UW-P students and other new voters come to the polls "not only to vote for President, but also vote for the local offices.

The duo describes themselves as doing a sort of country-folk-soft rock type. Both Tony and Jumbo had been playing in "hard rock" bands but have grown tired of that type of music. They've not only developed a change in the type of music that they play, but feel their present style is much better. Asked about their performance at the Whiteskellar, Jumbo said, "We perform in a tight vocal mannter, both playing acoustical guitars. During the performance, one of us will occasionally switch to bass." The two have played in many parts of the country and backed up such groups as: Byrds, Siegall-Schwall, New Colony Six and Crow. They will be playing at the Whiteskeller on Thursday, March 9, beginning at noon. Admission is free. FLO'S Home Cooking HWY 31&County Trunk E 6AM-6PM Specials Daily national offices." The candidate explained that his campaign will be low-keyed and underfinanced: "I want to meet people individually, I want to go to PTA meetings, smokers, whatever, and explain who I am and what I'd like to do." When asked of his qualifications for the office, the candidate responded that few people, if any, are truly qualified to serve on the board of education. "I have some definite ideas, though," he continued, "one includes instituting a rule whereby every member of the board would be required to spend a certain amount of time in the schools themselves, in order to talk and listen to students, as well as faculty and administrators." He indicated that the board must be receptive to everyone, including students. Asked if he had any plans for a rally, Olson said that tentatively a beer and brat fest at Capies was scheduled for Sunday afternoon, March 19. He explained that the purpose of such a get-together would be to discuss the upcoming election, where he could discuss his candidacy in an informal setting. Newscope asked Olson one final question: What are your chances at being elected? "Right now I think they're very good. I've spoken to a lot of people, young and old, and their reaction has been very positive and encouraging."

Sophisticated but Destitute Music Lover: There is suspicion in some circles that you are . . . how can I compress this? ... a reactionary nationalistic purist of the prole with sensibilities deadened to the point where only American made three chord car music gets you off. Music Desk: Horseshit. British three chord car music gets me off too. SDML: It amounts to the same thing as three chord car music is American in origin. Is it true that you have said 'The English can pronounce the word 'elegant' beautifully but they have always had trouble with 'raunchy'? MD: No, as a matter of fact it is not. Bob Dylan said that and if I have paraphrased him it is only because he has summed it up once again. SDML: The infallibility of Bob Dylan is not the issue. Assuming this to be true however, haven't you turned a modest generality into dogma with your disdain of superb English bands like Yes, the Faces, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and King Crimson? MD: Elegance is great. I'm as susceptable as anyone to a nice turn of phrase, an intelligent guitar line, a thumbbusting bass run, or inventive drums. English drummers especially are technically miles ahead of us Yanks. But how much better if these elegant parts are unified by some themeglue, a visceral vision if you will, and you cnn dance to them while you admire them. SDML: English bands have direction. MD: Some do and most don't. I will venture to say that not one has as much rock & roll relevance as "Louie, Lotfie". For noncerebral excitement and sore palms you need that raunch. SDML: Where does that leave the Beatles? the Double White Album. The difference between the Beatles and most of the other self-absorbed Cockneys is the humor and resolute lack of pretension with which they carried it off. Next to American raunch, this kind of English cleverness is best. And now listen to this. MD slips the new Move on the turntable. SDML: "It Wasn't My Idea ? That oboe reminds me of the quasiOriental music in "Help!". These guys are dense. But funny. Or I think they are. MD: "The Minister" makes me think of "Paperback Writer". And this first side is the thickest textural approach to fantasy music since "Satanic Majesties". Until this song. SDML: What's Johnny Cash doing on a British LP?

SDML: This band's got no ba SDML's anatomical comment is cut short by brontosaur bass as the harmless music comes down hard and turns into "Until Your Mama's Gone" one of the two stone rockers on the LP. The drums assault this rib cage. MD: I'm glad you asked. They had only one co>ifti iftext; they were themsleves and true only to their self conception. Lack of direction as direction: look at SDML (impressed): Good cut. Who produced this frustrating gem? Who records drums like that? MD: Glad you asked. Cat by the name of Roy Wood who also does most of the singing, guitar playing, and is responsible for that oboe. SDML: What's Elvis doing on an English LP? The Record (in surly grease growl): We'll rock on to the feature film and tear the seats apart But if you gotta treat me rough don mess me up. MD: That's not Elvis. As in your other stupid blunder, that's drummer Bev Bevan. Odd voice wot? SDML: And this cute English musichall number. Didn't you have enough when the Beatles did so many of them?

Sitting next to her, explaining the rule?, regulations and ethics of Bingo, was her cousNin, another lady in the middle of life. Both women were seated at a pool table covered with .two large pieces of heavy green cardboard. The room was jammed with people prepared for a full night of Bingo. Cigarette smoke clouded the air, making one's eyes water. A member of the Zion-Benton Moose Club was standing in the doorway making final adjustments on the microphone he would be using throughout the evening. His job would be to keep in touch with the other two rooms full of Bingo players in the Vivian was sitting in the "kitchen" of building, although it was really a dining area, the floor above her was another dining area, - small gymnasium-type room filled with players, and the person calling the letter-numbers for the games. Below Vivian, in the basement, was another small dining room accommodating a few hundred more people. At a quarter after seven, fifteen minutes late, the balding man in the entrance to the "kitchen" announced on the microphone that he was ready. Vivian's cousin could be heard by most of those at the converted pool table blitzing with a final recap of details. There would be twenty-five games of regular Bingo, each worth thirty dollars to the winner (to be split in case of a tei). Special games sprinkled throughout the evening were worth from fifty to a hundred dollars. There would be a "Jackpot Game" worth five hundred dollars (a "Fill Game" midway through the twenty-five games consisting of only fifty-five calls). The special games included the Frame Game, Crisscross, the T-Game and the Fill Game. Played in succession, the special games and a regular one were called New York Bingo. The first five games were uneventful as far as Vivian and the others in the "kitchen" were concerned. All the winners were either in the basement or the large dining room. Before the sixth game, the caller announced there would be a short delay.

Aside from being confronted with such poisonous concoctions as a "Bayou Bomb" or "Woody's Suicide Slurp", the patron may also choose culinary goodies from a full menu at the bar, which of course is not in my area of competence. Drinks on the lower forty go for 55 - 60 cents, whild your top rack spirits hit 65 and better down the bar's formica-topped straightway. The visible selection of labels seemed redundant, though there are undoubtedly other spirited names hidden away from view; On the Nod's view was less than binocular at the time. Unfortunately, Ruby's like Rondone's, doesn't offer tap beer; cans go for half a rock. The juke, if I remember correctly, wasn't of superior quality, though it did offer a couple of Bobby D's old love ballads; "Just Like a Woman" and "I Want You", which, if you're a Dylan freak is enough to make any juke look good. As I surveyed the entire width and breadth of the bar I discovered that the clientele was composed of two jiggers businesstypes, a jigger of hippe, and a pinch of old salts; an interesting mix. Since I can't remember too much more about the bar, I must conclude it was good. I made the unpardonable mistake of checking out the newly tapped kegs in the union a few hours earlier, judging them for purity; you'd be surprised at the number of kegs they can tap in a few hours. But no time to dwadle, I ordered the drummer boy to muster out the troops, only to realize that Obediance U. really hadn't impressed this crew of cutthroat braggards and no good scum; no one wanted to go to Racine; it was mutiny. Thinking quickly I summoned my trusty laiison, Woozy Willie, and directed him to drive me to AAockus' Tap and proving grounds where I shanghaied a new crew. Onward to Fondone's. Rondone's Bar is located next to an alley at 1330 Albert Street in Racine, and offers in its compact confines wooden booths as well as a small bar. Behind the bar on review night was none other than Tony Rondone himself, whacking away with sppc^is at some liquor bottles as he played rhythm to the songs on the juke. It's not every day you see a bartender with a musical bent, especially at this 9 of specialization. Unfortunagely, about this time, | too was a little bent, but like any good cub anHwTi,T rth hiS huSh PuPPies ' 1 Persevered and walked up to the crowded bar, nudging a few customers; outta my way, I'm a reporter, I gotta get the facts, quick, before it's too late. Rondone's offers Bud and Pabst shorties for 0 cents and 12 ounce bottles for 45 cents for the big guys, as well as a stock of some fine red wine 25 cents a glass. The lower echelons of liuqors demand a toll of 45 cents, while the aristocrats of the shelf go for 60 cents. n I wobbled up to the juke in the compact bar and found .t to be good, though not impressive. ^ h ' l . e ?' u™ing t0 ° Ur b00th ' 1 thoroughly investigated the walls (feeling my way along them tor secret passages) which, to my astonishment were made of plaster, a rare phenomenon in today s panelled world; one day even mountains will be made of formica. Another oddity I discovered at Rondone's were the original paintings by his son which adorn the wall. In addition to an adequate stock, the worldly Italian offers a bowling machine as well as a P all demon for the diversion of the clientele composed of both hips and working class straights; on review night two boys in blue sat at the bar for a short while. An official of SGA tole me, quite cryptically, that a motto for the place could be 'humble people always take the back door'; he said you can just about tell what kind of people come in the bar by which door they use, front or the back. On the Nod has nothing to hide so he used the front door. In addition to everything lese, On the Nod was mesmerized by the grating hum of a bass compressor as it scrunched and squealed its way into his pure brewed heart and respiratory system. Rondone's and Ruby's are quite different bars; two different atmospheres, two different clientele, perhaps even two different schools of Barlosophy, yet On the Nod found fault with neither. From this moment forward, On the Nod pledges on a case of Lafite-Rothsdhild to seek out with diligence and foresight, as many Racine bars as he possibly can. March ft. 197? NEWSCOPFl Page 5 Robert Bly, recipient of the 1968 National Bood Award for poetry will soon visit the Parkside Campus. The Minnesota born poet, author of "The Light Around My Body", will appear Wednesday, March 15, from 9:30to 11:30 A.M. in the Greenquist Hall Whiteskellar. On Tuesday evening, March 14, Bly will also appear at Dominican for a reading that is. free and open to the public. In addition to his poetry, Bly has published a magazine called The Fifties, then The Sxities, now The Seventies, which has published for the first time many European and South American poets. In addition to writing his own poetry, Bly al£o has translated works by the Chilean Pablo Neruda, the German Georg Trakl and the Swede Gunnar Ekelof among others. Bly is a deeply committed writer and has done much to make politics a field of poetry. He is a founding member of American Poets Against the Vietnam War, and helped organize the first Poetry Readings Against the War; in addition Bly has refused a $5,000 government grant on the ground that it emanated from a government engaged in genocide, and has donated his Book Award check to the Resistance. Today Bly is recognized as one of the leaders of a poetic revival which has returned American literature to the world community.

The evening wore on for those at the converted pool table as none of them had won. It was the halfway point, time for the "big one".

On the fifty-fourth call, Vivian realized she was onlv one letter-number away from the winning jackpot. Her cousin needed three.Vivian was the only player at the converted pool table who had a chance of winning. Everyone at the table stared at her sheet with only one open space. Vivian s cousin pulled nervously at a mole on her cheek The thought of someone else winning five hundred dollars so easily produced smug looks on many faces, and the hope Vivian would lose. A man who had just begun calling the letternumbers in the dining room milked the tension for all_ it was worth. Skeeter told a Joke, no one laughed. Vivian clenched her fists, knuckles white, breath held. Five hundred bucks. That last call. "You all know that if there isn't a winner after the last call," Skeeter said, "there's a consolation prize." Finally that last call. 0-72. Vivian was a loser. A smile came over her cousin's face. A silence fell over the room as no one in any of the three rooms had called Bingo. After a long ten seconds, an old woman in the dining room regained her voice long enough to let everyone in Northern Illinois know she had won it all, five hundred bucks. "Aw shit," Vivian cursed. She flipped the almost full Bingo sheet.into the air. Her cousin, content that Vivian was now a confirmed loser, offered to buy her a beer. There was a fifteen minute break after the "Jackpot Game". Vivian appeared to have lost interest in Bingo. She turned her attention to the balding Moose standing in the entrance. Her cousin had been periodically watching the Moose's friend. It was now time for the Bingo players to loosen stiff muscles and take a breather from the thought of winning money. Vivian's cousin offered one bit of advice as she noticed Vivian watching the Moose, "Don't tell them we're cousins," she said. "Tell 'em we're just girl friends." Both middle aged women smiled, lliey left the converted pool table, heading in the general direction of the bar, the balding Moose and his friend; forgetting momentarily that they were losers at the halfway point.

Of course, PSGA must always stand firm on those matters which are of vital interest to the student body. It is to these purposes that I direct my candidacy for the office of student senator. Regarding specific issues, such as control of the student activities building or the proposed legal action against the book store, I can only say at this time that I favor investigation of such matters thoroughly before taking final action. I think that the duty of a senator is to carefully investigate and consider issues before coming to a decision, in that a senator represents not only himself or herself, but also the Parkside student body. Now a bit about myself and my qualifications for office. I am currently a junior majoring in political science, history and modern American society, and active in the Pre-Law Club and the Honors Program. I have been a full-time student at Parkside for nearly three years now, and I think I have a feeling for the needs of UWP and its students. I sincerely believe that I will be an able and thoughtful student senator, representing you. I ask for your support in the March 7 and 8 election. Finally, why should you be interested in Student Government? At present, it is the only forum for a unified student voice on campus. Furthermore, Student Government has some measure of control over a considerable amount of money (a portion of which you have paid in your tuition fees each semester), which may be septn to benefit you. PSGA needs your interest, support and participation. Please take the-time to become informed about Student Government and candidates for office, and then, vote. Jules and Jim Coming The Parkside Film Society will sponsor a public showing of Francois Truffaut's "Jules and Jim" on Tuesday, March 7, at 8 p.m. in Room 103 Greenquist Hall on the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Wood Road campus. Although set in a pre-World War I period, the film paints a vivid picture of a thoroughly modern woman, Kathe, played by French acress Jeanne Moreau. She loves two fraternal friends, Oskar Werner and Jacques Serre, and must have them both — even if this means death. A joyous film, "Jules and Jim" established Truffaut as the leader of French New Wave directors. "The Critic", a short directed by Mel Brooks, is a spoof of experimental, abstract films. Winner of an Academy Award for Best Short Subject, it will be shown before the feature. There will be a small admission charge (50 cents).

Grapplers i n NAIA Nationals March 6.1972 NEWSCOPE Four UW-Parkside wrestlers will compete Thursday through Saturday in the NAIA national wrestling championships at Klamath Falls, Ore. Heading the Ranger contingent for Coach Jim Koch is sophomore Ken Martin, who placed second in the meet last year as a freshman at 134 pounds. He's been grapplint at 142 this year and has an 18-2 record, but he'll drop down to 134 for the nationals and should be seeded second in that weight class. "We think Ken has a good chance for the championship," Koch said. "He was injured as a freshman and still placed second. "He's had tougher competition this year and really has everything going for him. Now Ken just has to take advantage of the breaks." Others likely to join Martin in the big meet — which the Rangers finished 21st in last time around — are junior cocaptain (with Martin) Jeff Jenkins and freshmen Steve Sulk and Bill West. Jenkins was injured during the middle of t his campaign but has come on strong in recent weeks and Koch rates his chances at earning a place, or even a berth in the finals, as Page 7 For The Record idi MUSIC H OUSE /) 1 1 1 I I N I I ' I II I \ v .; •; |\ M8 I S I i' •• Downtown Kenosha • Ken Martir\ co-captain has an 18-2 record at 142 lbs.; he'I drop down to 134. good at his 150 pound class. Koch labels Sulk, a 230 p ound freshman from Peshtigo, as "big and strong" and primed for a wide-open weight class. He's posted a 9-2 mark at heavyweight since joining the squad at the semester. West, a Kenosha native, compiled a 9-3 mark in the second half of the year after sitting out the first semester matches as a transfer. He's battled illness in recent weeks Jeff Jenkins, 150 lb. co—captain has good chance at reaching finals. but Koch things he could be ready for a good effort. The Rangers placed 21st last year and obviously Koch would like a higher finish this time around.

STAFF ELECTIONS THURSDAY Pages NEWSCOPE March 6,1972 City meets county (Continued from Page 1) up, the rent goes up", and like other speakers who were to follow him, he contested the city's claim that it had paid millions for sewer and water service to the area by insisting that "big federal grants were included in the city's investment." Answering Burkee's earlier statement concerning the small amount Somers had invested in the campus area, Huck told the audience that "Somers has paid its share"; many residents were forced to give up their land to the campus. Supervisor Ebner explained in his speech that because the cost of building a treatment plant would be shared with Mt. Pleasant, Somers wouldn't have to pay the estimated $19,500,000 needed to build it. He told the audience that with "expected state and federal aids it shouldn't cost Somers more than $400,000." This represented a replv to the city's Henry Krause, area property owner opposed to annexation efforts. earlier argument that Somers only had bonding power for $2,000,000 and therefore couldn't possibly afford the projected cost of a treatment plant. Henry Krause, an area farmer who originally brought the annexation issue to the attention of SGA and Newscope, told the audience «that "an annexation this large (over 1,400 acres) is the concern of a ll people of Somers and the city of Kenosha, as all taxes and rent would go up. Mayor Burkee" he continued, "has his hands full in trying to take care of Kenosha, let along a big area of Somers. You have noticed many stores boarded up and businesses leaving town; the bigger the city the bigger the trouble." Krause charged that the unorderly boundaries of the last annexation were "deliberately planned that way so that not many property owners would have a chance to vote." A student at UWP who also resides in the annexable area backed up Krause's charge. Jack Swartz said that when the first annexation was drawn up, his family's land was included "all the way to our backyard." He explained that the city didn't include their house in the annexation, thus making them ineligible to vote. Bob Lee, another area resident, told the group, "We don't want a concrete city from Chicago to Milwaukee." He indicated that the cost of building sewage treatment plants should not be the burden of th e local residents, but rather the responsibility of the federal government. Mrs. Henry Krause spoke after her husband, and in one instance personally addressed the Mayor. She told the audience that "Mayor Burkee has his hands full with shooting and purse snatching and what have you ..." and facing the mayor, she admonished him, "You really do!" Cliff Dodd, a Parkside Village resident, compared the city of Kenosha to a cancer. He said it was "dying on the inside." It was his belief that the urban problems must be solved before an annexation of more land would make sense. Dean Loumos, SGA President, was the final speaker of the evening. He told the audience, "We should be concerned about who suffers most, not who benefits most. When the state wants land, they get it one way or another. Farmers need the assurance that they'll be able to live out their normal lives, and conduct their normal business without the threat of higher taxes and loss of their land." He proposed that "some sort of contract be drawn up," which would ensure people the right to live as they want. He then explained the students' plight: "Student Activities is not a union, it's a hustle, Parkside Village is a hustle, the Bookstore is a hustle. We pay and pay and now the same people who brought us Parkside Village and the Bookstore, bring you the annexation." During the ensuing question and answer period, members of the audience asked the mayor about any federal and state aids the city had received for the sewer line to UWP. He explained he wasn't quite sure what the percentage of the total cost the aid covered was, but that he knew it wasn't the 80 per cent that some members of the audience claimed it was. An angry voice in the back of the lecture hall spoke heatedly with the mayor about tax assessments. He explained that he has land in the city as well as in Somers, and that the tax on the city land is more than six times that of the land in Somers. Eric Olson, a county supervisor, rejected the assistant city planner's hope that Bill 58 would ease tax assessment on farm land; "Senate Bill 58 has been defeated time and again," he said. A spokeswoman for the Wisconsin Alliance spoke briefly to the audience explaining that the annexation problem is happening all over the state. "Somers is not alone in its fight against annexation," she said. She told the mayor that Madison is no longer annexing property because its city council is beginning to recognize the overwhelming problems a city incurs when it annexes land. Other members of the audience spoke out against the city's contention that Kenosha could adequately handle the sewage and water needs of the Parkside area. They pointed out that residents of the city have been complaining for months about the inadequacies of the treatment plant. The City Planner responded that any existing problems will soon be rectified. Mario Capponi, former mayoral candidate, said he opposed the annexation because it included too large a parcel of land. He said annexing more than 50 acres at a time is too much for the city to assimilate. The meeting ended with an appeal by Judge Carlsen of Kenosha to stop any divisiveness that may be caused by the annexation controversy, stating that it's everyone's problem. He informed the audience that the present location of UWP was chosen on the basis of its natural beauty, a natural beauty which, he said, must be preserved.

March 9 Noon - 2p.m. Fr e e Liv e En te rta inme n t forum now the time has come By Dan Robeshi Now the time has come to fight, Laws in the Book of Love burn bright. The starting point for revolution is love and it's no different for gay liberation. As a matter of fact love is perhaps the paramount motivating factor for gays to become involved in gay lib because the kind of love we desire has always been subject to sexist laws and social restriction. Gays share the same discrimination and narrowing down by straight society of life's experiences to the most sordid as other minority groups. In like fashion as other minorities have started to raise their voices in shouts of protest against pig attitudes and practices so have gays. As long as one person is oppressed we are all oppressed. That is the reason for the present forming of gay lib here. No gay can any longer hide in a closet out of fear for social ostracism — we've done that too long. Our rights as citizens and our dignity as men and women have been denied too long. But the only way these will be regained is if we demand them. We can best achieve this through group effort, group power. There will be an initial Gay Youth Coalition meeting this week. Whether or not gay lib will make any advances on this camous will largely be determined by the turn out of gays at these first few meetings. Without numbers we have no power, and without power we have no rights — even rights as simple as gathering peaceably together in free expression of our life style without fear of violence from the straight community. The time is overripe that we need no longer fear and hide.
