Environmental report out on new parking lots Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document The Parkside Wednesday, Feb. 20, 1974 Vol. II No. 21 Environmental report out on new parking lots In conformance with the Wisconsin Environmental Policy Act, Parkside has announced that a preliminary environmental report on the construction of two new parking lots and a campus access road is available to the public for review and comment. Copies of the preliminary report are available at the library and at the Kenosha and Racine city libraries. Additional copies have been sent to Racine and Kenosha city and county officials and agencies, Somers officials, district offices of appropriate state agencies, the Southeastern Wisconsin Planning Committee, and other interested area organizations. The report has also been distributed to state and federal agencies, the governor, and the Legislative Reference Bureau by UW Central Administration. Circulation of the preliminary report and incorporation of public reaction to it is the first step under the Environmental Policy Act for state projects which affect the environment. Written comments on the preliminary report will be accepted by the Parkside Office of Planning and Construction and incorporated into the final report if received before March 4, according to Director of Planning and Construction James Galbraith. The final report will then be circulated in the same manner as the preliminary report and will be the basis of a public hearing on the proposed project to be held on campus this spring at a date to be announced. Principal elements of the project call for construction of two new parking lots with a total capacity of 1,045 ve hicles, to be built as soon as possible near the academic buildings which attract the largest numbers of students, staff and visitors, and construction of a public access road which will connect to the existing and new lots and encircle the academic area. One lot will be west of the Communication Arts building and within walking distance of the Physical Education building; the other will run east from the future campus union which is scheduled for completion in 1976 and which will connect to the Classroom building on the northern edge of the academic complex. The new lots are needed to alleviate the tight parking situation. However, the net gain from the new lots will be only 225 spaces a year from now, since Parkside will lose 320 temporary spaces due to campus development and 500 spaces at the Kenosha campus which will be vacated in January. Parkside currently has 1,350 permanent spaces on the main campus. The project was approved last month by the Board of Regents and the state Bureau of Facilities Benefit planned Fire destroys home of two students Two Parkside freshmen, A1 (Nello) Lansdowne and his son A1 Jr., of 8067 Sheridan Rd., Kenosha who moved to Wisconsin last September, had their trailer home burned to the ground last Wednesday. While no one was seriously injured in the blaze, the family literally lost everything but the clothes on their backs. Lansdowne Sr. is a member of the board of the Adult Student Association (ASA), and that group is engaging in a combined fund raising effort with the Vets Club, RANGER, and others to aid the Lansdownes. Since Lansdowne and his son are students here, a plan has been devised to allow members of the campus community the opportunity to easily contribute to the effort. Next Wednesday, Feb. 27, the normally free PARKSIDE RANGER will be distributed by members of the ASA and Vets Club in exchange for donations to benefit the fire victims. So, instead of being placed in the boxes next Wednesday, RANGER will be offered by these students in exchange for whatever each person wants to give. On Thursday all remaining papers will be placed in the boxes for free distribution. Management. Detailed study by private planning consultants, in participation with Parkside, Central Administration and the Bureau, confirmed the desirability of the project. SEWRPC and the Department of Natural Resources were also consulted about the project. Funding has already been approved and appropriated in current biennial budgets for the project. The preliminary environmental report says that "physical impact on the environment will be minimal." It points out that project sites are open land without trees and wildlife, formerly used for farming, and that UW-P's substantial areas of natural vegetation and wildlife to the north and west won't be affected. Visual problems will be minimal, according to the report, because the sites are located in natural depressions and will be further screened by tree planting. Parking surfaces will be interrupted by islands, planted with trees, to permit natural drainage ways. Heavy-rooted grasses will be planted on the drainage ways to prevent soil erosion and will be swaled to prevent flooding by reducing the runoff rate and permitting much of the water to soak into the soil, to evaporate or to seep slowly into the groundwater. Rape & assault: myth vs. fact by Rebecca Ecklund "The boundaries within which you can react safely to a rape situation are limited only by your imagination. Your most powerful weapon is your brain." Frederic Storaska delivered a lecture in the theater here last Thursday night; the title of that lecture was "To Be or Not To Be Raped," or, as Storaska amended it, "Rape and Assault: Myth versus Fact." Storaska began his lecture with a discussion of some of the most common myths surrounding the subject of rape. Society uses two methods of talking about rape to female children, said Storaska. Number one, they are given the "ostrich story," the one that says "it can't happen to you, it won't ever happen to you." Or else women are told "don't walk alone at night, wear long skirts, be careful how you cross your legs, don't smile, don't go near a place where men might be." Women are taught to believe that rapists are "monstrous, martian-like things," said photo by Allen Fredrickson "If you do something and it doesn't help you, make sure it doesn't hurt you either," was the point Frederic Storaska emphasized repeatedly during his lecture on rape prevention last Thursday. He stressed that aggravating an assailant by screaming or struggling will usually make matters worse, Hjs talk was concerned with "what to do if what you do doesn't work." Storaska, "completely inhuman, when the fact is that most rapes are committed by a man the woman knows well (boy friend, fiance) or is at least acquainted with." Storaska blames the sexual double standard for most of society's false notions about the rape victim. Women are taught that sex is unnatural for them, explained Storaska, but completely natural for men. Thus the woman who has been raped is considered by society to be defiled, dirty and evil. Storaska pointed out another mythical idea that has been fostered by the double standard, the notion that all women are teasers, they want to be raped, that an attractively dressed woman is "asking for it." "Consider a woman in hot pants and a halter top," said Storaska. "She could be thinking a number of different things, like 'It's hot and I'm comfortable in these clothes,' or, 'I like to look attractive,' or 'Eat your heart out, brother.' She could be thinking many things. But does she deserve rape as her punishment? In the twentieth century? Does she?" Popular Defense Methods Storaska went on to talk about three of the popular methods of warding off assault that are supposed to work. He has a great deal of confidence in the martial arts (karate, jujitsu, judo and so on) as means of self-defense, but considers them almost- totally invalid because people are unwilling to take the time to learn enough to effectively defend themselves. (Storaska himself has a third degree black belt in karate.) The second popular method of warding off assault is screaming. "They tell you, 'Scream. People will hear you.' Sure. That's not a lie. Lots of people will hear you. But what they don't tell you is that you may be stabbed or strangled to death if you do scream." r" The third method is struggling, putting up a fight against an assailant. Storaska said that one of two things will result from this: mutilation of the victim's vagina or sexual stimulation of the rapist. "Of course," said Storaska, "you are told that if the assailant has a weapon you should do none of these things-no screaming or struggling. Well, how the hell do you know if he has a weapon or not? Most attacks come from behind in the dark." Storaska believes that if you are attacked, you should go along with the assailant, do what he wants attitudinally, until you see or create a chance to safely react, UNLESS you are in immediate danger of losing your life. Try communicating with him, be humble, try and understand him. Storaska stressed again and again that "if you do something and it doesn't help you, make sure it won't hurt you, either." That is, if you are being sexually attacked, don't take any action that will antagonize the rapist, because it might not work-you'll only make him angry enough to beat you or kill you. "Once violence sets in, you can toss a coin to see who wins." Two Physical Techniques Storaska actually gave only two specific physical techniques for dealing with a rapist. One method can be used when the assailant is face-to-face with the victim, especially if he is strangling her and she has a very short time to live. The idea is for the victim to put her hands on his cheeks, as if to embrace him, then move the thumbs over his eyes and poke them in. "You think you can't do this," said Storaska, "and maybe some of you can't. But your brain will take advantage of any information available to it in order to survive. "You're probably also thinking, 'How gruesome.' But that's not nearly as gruesome as some of the perverted things that are done to women's bodies." The second technique that Storaska advocates can be used even if the rapist grabs the victim from behind and holds her so she can't move her arms. Almost every sexual assailant will force the victim to touch his genital area, said Storaska, so this second technique uses that fact as a weapon. The idea is to go along with the rapist, even anticipate him by reaching (slowly and gently) for his genitals, carefully locating one or both testicles, and smashing them in the hands. continued on page 3 Applications for the position of editor-in-chief for the 1974-75 RANGER are now being accepted by the newspaper's advisory board.

Tf"-. | Mt fiotfbook by Jane Schliesman HEW forces discrimination Despite the claims that our country is based on the notion of democracy and equality the federal government continues to screw up financial aid programs and regulations so that discrimination must be practiced by universities in order to keep federal monies coming in. A letter sent to financial aid recipients by Parkside's Office of Financial Aids reads that "the federal government requires that we monitor the on-campus payroll to determine if financial aid recipients become employed. This employment is not permissible under current federal regulations." Also, "if you have a workstudy award you may work on campus but only to the limit of your award." The reasoning is that the financial aid and work-study was designed to meet the needs of students and no student could possibly need any more money for educational costs or living expenses than the government says they do. Sue Johnson of the Financial Aids Office agrees that it is considered a problem and discriminatory against those receiving financial aid." RANGER also considers these regulations discriminatory against the poor. Students who, it has been determined, are not in financial need or eligible for work-study may be employed on campus and there are no ceilings as to the amount of money they may earn. I he fault of these inconsistencies lies on the shoulders of the evermore unsympathetic and corrupt federal government, not the University. RANGER urges state financial aid officers to demand from the federal government the opportunity to grant m« ne J fiT 1 i , 0bS equal| y and fai| -ly to all students who attend the University. We urge students who are not them wEth^p tbdir financiai aid packages to discuss them with Parkside financial aids people to see if a more equitable package can be arranged. RANGER asks that a I employers on campus not discriminate against students receiving financial aid, nor against those who are ineligible for It. Finally, we challenge the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to create regulations and programs which discriminate against no one, if it is capable of such a noble act. Frederic Storaska is accustomed to lecturing to large groups, full houses, in all parts of the country. Frederic Storaska lectures on a topic which should be of concern to everyone-women, men, and even children. Frederic Storaska's lectures have probably saved a lot of lives since he began them nine years ago. Frederic Storaska lectures on rape. Last Thursday he spoke at Parkside in the Comm Arts Theaterseating capacity 675. His talk was heard by about 90 people, ranging in age from 12 up to 60 or so, with about one quarter of the audience male. One speculation on the scant attendance is the publicity job done by the Activities Board people. They counter that it was promoted as well as the very successful show by Gil Eagles, "the entertaining psychic." Perhaps it is my own bias but I feel that saving the lives and bodily integrity of human beings deserves better than that. I also think that Storaska's subject matter had some built-in problems for publicity, in that he was not expected to be entertaining (he was, as those who were there will attest, but his excellent handling of a delicate subject could not have been anticipated by those who knew nothing about him). There are a number of reasons for the inertia which prevented many from going to hear Storaska. One is the age-old "it can't happen to me" syndrome. Just telling you that it can won't change your mind, but it is thought provoking to realize that 75 p ercent of rapes are committed by someone the victim knows-boyfriend, relative, acquaintance. If you can't picture yourself in a situation where you would get attacked by a stranger, think of yourself in your own home. A second reason isn't really one of inertia at all. It's avoidance. Granted, rape is an ugly word, it has many unpleasant physical and emotional connotations. But it is also a fact of life, and refusing to acknowledge it doesn't make it easier to cope with it when you might have to. Yet, a number of people have told me that they tried to get their friends to come and were simply told, "I'm not going to listen to anyone talk about that." Storaska mentioned that he expected this area was "conservative," and he was happily surprised that about a third of the audience were members of the community. Actually, most of the older people there were adult students or University employees. I wish more of them had been there, as well as more of the younger students and people from the community. I would have hoped that common sense would tell people the ostrich is dead. It was killed hiding its head in the sand. Storaska mentioned that he had offered his program free to the high schools in a city out east and was told "no thanks." He told of universities booking him and not being allowed to use the word "rape" in publicizing his lecture. We in the audience were chagrined by these and other dangerous attitudes which would potentially sacrifice human beings for unrealistic moral platitudes. It's like the husband whose wife comes home and says she's been raped and he is upset because she isn't dead or badly mutilated-it's a question of values and human life and self-protection are losing. RANGER has covered Storaska's lecture in detail, in the hopes that those who were too shy to show up will hide themselves away somewhere and read it, those who were too busy will take a few minutes now which may help them later, and those who were indifferent may have nothing better to do than skim through it. It is not as powerful and helpful as hearing Storaska in person, but please think about it. As Storaska himself says, "your best weapon is your mind."

A {j • J More letters Wednesday, Feb. 20, 1974 THE PARKSIDE RANGER 3 To the Editor: Alan B. Wallace has left an impression on me. The first time I met him, Steve Miller and I were waiting for the bus outside the classroom building. Alan Wallace was leaving school and asked us if we needed a ride down the hill. I was unaware at the time of his status at Parkside. The next time I ran into him happened to be in the Kenosha campus parking lot. My car wouldn't start, and Steve was under the hood trying to figure out what steps had to be taken to get it running. Alan Wallace, apparently leaving after one of his educational and interesting classes, stopped to give us aid. I discovered he was teaching American Language 101 and asked permission to enter his class. I was disappointed in the section I was presently enrolled in. This class was of trivial content not related to experience and didn't measure up to my expectation. Hostility lurked in the room, and the assignments were a drag. Would you consider writing a 500 word essay describing a coconut very exciting? I couldn't wait to change classes. Alan Wallace's section 8, American Language 101, titled "Past and Future Shock" was a pleasure to attend. It opened my eyes to many new ideas and heightened my awareness to matters I knew in passing, but hadn't really thought about. There was such a contrast between the two classes I must comment. In my former class there was a rigid teacher-student relationship. This Dr. of Philosophy in English cited his schooling ai.d intimidated and belittled the students every chance he could.

I felt my learning process was impeded by his impersonal approach to teaching and by this hostile and pedantic atmosphere. As a member of Alan Wallace's class I felt relaxed and part of a friendly group. There were discussions which enabled members of the class to freely express ideas and past experiences which related to the daily topics. There was a real exchange between teacher and student. Alan Wallace discussed daily topics thoroughly and explained things carefully. He tailored class discussion to current interest and national events. His students respected him, and he respected his students. I was shocked when I first heard of his termination. I couldn't understand how a growing school could let an "excellent teacher" go. For, isn't that what good schools are made of? I was going to write a letter to O. Johnson (chairperson of the Humanities Division), but didn't think it would do any good. I decided to start a petition and get a few people who felt the same way I do about this matter to sign. There are nearly 300 students concerned about losing a good teacher. That is more than half of the people who voted in the last election at Parkside. Alan Wallace has taught here for four years and has done an excellent job. How long does it take for a man to qualify for his job? His student evaluations have been consistently high, particularly in the upper division courses. For example, in one class he received an overall average of about 4.75 out of 5.00. In 20 of the 22 categories he received significantly higher than divisional averages. What good does this evaluation do? It doesn't do any good, one way or the other-can't get rid of bad teachers or keep good teachers. Parkside is advertised as a teaching-oriented undergraduate institution. Therefore, teaching should be of p rimary importance. Makes you wonder, what are real priorities around Parkside? I am concerned about a good teacher getting fired. I plan on spending money at Parkside for three more years and want to be taught by people whom I know are excellent instructors. Anna Marie Dimeo Kenosha Freshman The dile of being a Rape continued from page 1 "Forget about the knee-to-thegroin technique," he said. "The groin is very small in comparison to the entire upper thigh area and the chances are good that you'll miss. Besides, the testicles are protected by the penis, and it would have to be a pretty solid and direct hit to be effective." If either of these two methods are interrupted before they are completed, explained Storaska, the rapist won't even be aware of what was about to happen. In each case, the action seems to be a caress; interruption of either action would simply allow the victim additional time to think of something else to do. Storaska talked about situations which might not warrant such violent action as poking out eyes or smashing testicles (both methods could kill the assailant). Few Rapes Committed By Strangers Storaska said that most rapes are committed by a woman's boy friend, fiance, date or husband, when the sexual situation just gets out of control. The man gets sexually stimulated fastest, said Storaska, since men have been taught to be sexually aggressive. To prevent rape in this type of situation, the first concern of the woman must be, "How can I turn him off?" But, at the same time, he said, she must not humiliate the man by laughing or telling him he's a lousy lover or some such thing, because his uncontrolled passion could easily become uncontrolled hatred and turn to violence. Storaska reported the cases of two women who had been to his lecture, both of whom got into potential rape situations with their boy friends. One woman, in desperation, urinated on her assailant; the other forced herself to vomit. Both pleaded physical illness, placing guilt on themselves, but also effectively preventing rape. Storaska reported another case in which a woman, hoping to stop her fiance from raping her, began laughing hysterically. He choked her to death. Rapist's Personality Storaska talked about the type of personality a rapist has. Generally, a rapist is likely to have over-idealized his mother, he has an inferiority complex, has been rejected by women he holds in high esteem, puts all women on a pedestal, and by We know. We understand. We care. Our Women's Service Division includes a mo licensed clinic, complete with a superior medical professional staff.

Midwest Population Center (312) 644-3410 100 East Ohio Chicago, Illinois 60611 A non-profit organization raping them, drags them down to what he sees as his own level, humiliating and defiling them. A rapist, said Storaska, is a 100 percent pure sexist: "He thinks that when women say 'no' they mean 'yes," when they say 'maybe' they mean 'yes,' and when they say nothing they're thinking 'yes.' " Part of the prevention of rape, said Storaska, is to treat the assailant as a person with an emotional problem, not as a freak. Saying things like "you make my skin crawl" only reinforces the assailant's beliefs about women that cause him to rape in the first place. A reaction which might prevent rape is for the woman to pretend to be willing or even anxious for intercourse with her assailant. This will either defeat his purpose in committing the act, or, in the case of a man who is being forceful but is not necessarily psychotic, willingness on the woman's part will often put him at ease and allow her to escape before the act is committed. In general, Storaska advised women to try his way first because "you can always scream and kick later, but if you scream and kick first, you may not be around to try my way later." Storaska made a comment about women that he said seems, to the men in his audiences, to be a very radical one: "This is America, right? And what America means to me is the freedom to do what you want as long as you don't hurt anyone else-and that means freedom for everyone: men, women, old, young-whatever. So, if on a sexual scale of 1 to 10, a woman chooses to go to point number 9 and no further, that is her right, her choice. We've got to start treating women like people and not like pillows to be beat on." RESEARCH Thousands of Topics $2.75 per page Send for your up-to-date , 160-,page, mail order catalog.

Educational Testing Service personnel claim college board scores in English are dropping. At UW-Madison, enrollment in English 101, the remedial English course, has greatly increased because of poor placement scores. Have entering Parkside students fallen into this trend? Are freshmen here low in language art abilities? According to Clay Barnard, career planning specialist in placements, this is a probability. Barnard observed, "Since this last fall there has been an increase in the number of English 010 (remedial English) sections. In American Language sections, there hasn't been as large an increase." Parkside professors, instructors and specialists had diverse opinions on the writing abilities of Parkside students. According to Walter Graffin, assistant professor of English, the average Parkside freshman is no different than any other university freshman. He felt problems in student writing do exist; however, it is not just a contemporary problem. "The problem has been around for 50 years. Theories have been as numerous as people teaching English. There is no definitive answer or we'd be using it," he said. Henry Kozicki, assistant professor of English, agreed with Graffin in that the average Parkside student is no different than any other college student, at least within the UW-system. Kozicki noted a tremendous influx of poorly prepared people, however, and stated, "I would say the well-prepared students are still here but in smaller numbers." Stanford Orme, instructor in business management, observed, "I haven't taught in another school, but at Parkside there is more of a problem than I would expect to find." Marion Mochon, associate professor of Anthropology and chairperson of the Social Science division, found writing problems in lower level classes but relatively few in the upper classes. "Generally, there are no failures in upper level writing," she added. Problem Does Exist Regardless of the magnitude of the problem, it would seem that according to various test findings and instructor observations, the problem itself does exist. Many Parkside interviewees felt that the problem should be tackled as it exists when a student enters college. Why the writing ability is low is not as important as what can be done about it. In what aspects of writing does the problem exist? Peter Martin, associate professor of English, felt that such problems are not easily divisible. He observed that areas of trouble in writing vary greatly with each person. The majority of instructors agreed that while grammar mistakes were the most bothersome, most students had the most trouble in organizing their thoughts. Observations by Orme and specialist Mary Renshaw, who assists business management students in composition, impart the general view: "Punctuation and sentence construction are the most bothersome as you can't figure out what the student is saying; but there is an equal problem in logical flow," said Orme.

Sophomore Robert Vlach commented, "My largest problem in starting a paper is organizing an outline including a concise topic and all points needed to be said in a sufficient length." "My biggest problem is writing clearly and concisely within the time I'm given to do the work," agreed senior Kathy Bush. Other problems mentioned by Parkside instructors were plagiarism, due to incorrect or nonexistent footnotes, and a lack of knowledge in regard to finding library materials needed for some written work. While citing particular aspects of writing problems, students often could not pinpoint exactly why they had problems. To discover if one of the possible reasons could be an insufficient high school English background, six area high school English departments were contacted. In most local high schools, students are required to take at least two years of English. Usually, the average student is required to take one semester of composition, where a term paper is often written, and one semester of literature. Classes during the remaining two semesters can be selected by the student, often from up to 20 different English electives. College-bound students are advised to choose college prep classes, and to take more than the required English load. They are advised what courses to take before their junior year, but independent when making the final schedule decisions. Motivation is Difficult The largest problem faced when teaching high school English, it was agreed by most high school instructors, is that of motivating a student to learn to write.

Many Parkside professors agreed that perhaps one semester of composition through the American Language class is not enough. Martin observed, "It wouldn't be a bad idea to have a two semester course for everybody, as long as the second semester wouldn't sacrifice some other class of particular importance." He went on to explain the new self-paced composition program to begin next fall. After taking a diagnostic test to determine his-her abilities, a student will then work at various speeds and in various areas of interest. Such a program would allow a capable student needing English 010 to complete it, as well as the American Language, in one semester. Orme found a lack of library skills to be the root of many problems in student papers. Renshaw agreed in that it takes some students three hours just to find minor information. This cuts down on time allotted to the actual writing of the paper. Garla Stoffle, library specialist, pointed out the magnitude of the problem: "Student use of the libraries since about 1934 has been appalling. A 1934 study revealed that 90 percent of the students didn't know much pertaining to library skills." Stoffle revealed that according to faculty feedback, students having library instruction turn in much better papers. Three possible procedures for such instruction are a 1-2 credit library course, a basic self-paced exercise book, and bibliography consultation where a specialist goes into classes and gives 1-8 sessions on library skills. Both English and non-English Parkside instructors realized the importance of continuous emphasis in all classes on good writing skills. However, non-English professors claimed that while they try to correct grammar and composition mistakes, they could hardly lower a grade because of stjch mistakes. As to possible remedies for such a problem, it was suggested that the English instructors provide a set of grammar and composition guidelines for all departments to follow. students to write effectively in college for college work." Sheldon Harsel, instructor in communications, pointed out characteristics in the students themselves which help to cause writing problems. "The present student responds to many things in life emotionally. Emotional responses are important; however, in strict language use, rational thinking is more important than emotional." Harsel also observed a lack of reading and writing practice exists in many students. He emphasized in particular that writing should be done on a subject where they can be testing somehow if they are expressing their feelings. Reading materials should contain opposing viev^points in order for the reader to expose himself to methods with which writers express their particular view. Many instructors, as well as Parkside students, felt that when given a choice within a range of subjects to be written on, the motivation not only to write but to write well increases. Graffin also pointed out that if a student is interested in the topic, he-she is less likely to use outside sources mechanically; to "borrow" their ideas, and then because of insufficient or incorrect footnoting, be guilty of plagiarism. The fact that there is a student writing problem has caused high school English departments to juggle courses and requirements, college instructors to try one solution after another, and many people to complain in despair. But whether any of it will have an effect may ultimately depend on the students themselves. glish Department Chair- , emphasized the harmful vn thing" movement. She this attitude, the English red to allow students to >. Many college-bound Teacher Expectations Unclear Graffin pointed out that teacher expectations, especially in non-English classes, are not made clear. Often one term paper will be assigned, and that will never be returned for the student to see what was expected and where he went wrong. Many instructors agreed with Graffin's view on exactly what the professors do expect. He added that "people aren't equal in ability. The average student shouldn't be expected to be a good writer; the view is out of perspective. Our goal is to teach Classified FULL TIME EMPLOYMENT-- day shift orderly.

The "enclosed sheet" was a long list with the name, address, class schedule and phone number of every student in the area of the recipient of the letter who was also interested in getting a carpool together. The list was based on the computer area number which was figured out by pinpointing where one lived on a map divided into numbered sections which appeared on the backside of the card, and the times one intended to commute to and from Parkside each day, both of which had been keypunched from the appropriate card at registration.

Burlington has a very well-organized carpool." As a matter of fact, it was explained, those outside the cities of Racine and Kenosha-those most in need- -showed the most interest in carpools and several have been established. But .only several? That surely couldn't account for all 600 students who had shown interest at registration, many from within the cities of Kenosha and Racine. Waiting Until Necessary One speculation made was that "most students have the mailing and are waiting for the time they run out of gas, or for that little extra pressure to come up." Echelbarger then went on to explain more about the carpool system. One arrangement is that "everyone takes a week and drives "--which is workable if everyone has a car. However, students sometimes must work around a parent's car, or nondrivers might pay several dollars a week to make sure that the driver doesn't get stuck paying for all the gas. Of course, the more riders the less the cost. It was suggested to the students that "monetary arrangements be worked out among themselves...we couldn't establish a suggested rate due to changing gas costs," said Echelbarger, "but we are compiling statistics of costs to possibly get the rate per mile. "We'd really like for students to make their own arrangements rather than doing it for them." But the issue of lack of response kept popping up. Finally, Echelbarger ventured what seems to be at the root of the problem: "It's just a guess but...I think students are a little bashful to call students they don't know." It seems that students look down the lists to see if they know anybody who is on it. Most of the carpools operating are two or three people at most, and these are usually friends. It is rare for a student to call an unknown person on the list. Need to be Aggressive "The way to make carpools work is for people to be aggressive! Call someone you don't know-add a new person to your carpool...." suggests Echelbarger simply. Aside from that major obstacle-Parkside students' apparent isolationist, nonaggressive nature-the main problem according to '.Echelbarger, "Isn't one of payment but one of convenience." If a person has to leave for work at 3:00 there's no getting around it. And if a student finds oneself here at Parkside, "It's our hope that there will be a way to get that student back home." But, of course, there must be cooperation and, most importantly, participation. Paging through some sheets, Echelbarger read off some of the towns where students had shown interest in carpools: Sturtevant, Burlington, Union Grove, South Milwaukee, such places as Great Lakes and Antioch in Northern Illinois, and many suburbs of Milwaukee, to name a few. "No section was so small (in student interest) that a carpool wasn't possible." This is only the beginning of an all-out effort to get these carpools established. "The Veterans on campus have been really helpful," says Echelbarger, and Student Services is beginning to call students back to get random samplings, checking out more precisely how carpools are progressing. "We have revised and sophisticated our carpool information and will try to get out another mailing," adds Echelbarger. Any student interested in getting on the list may contact Gail Hinks at the Information kiosk in Main Place, telephone (553-)2345, which is serving as Parkside's carpool information center, or get in touch with Echelbarger at (553-)2342 or John Rodgers, a member of the Assistant Dean of Students staff. Faculty and Staff Invited Admitting that "We haven't been serving our faculty and staff as well as we should be...our lists are all of students," Student Services invites both faculty and staff to participate also in this program. If one misses getting on the list, "pick one up and do some calling. We want to make our lists available for anyone to look at," says Echelbarger. "If things just don't seem to be working out or everything is going wrong, Student Services will try to right your problems and "lend an eager ear in which to air your grievances." People need not let bashfulness hold them back from saving on gas and money while becoming a real part of this Parkside community effort. As the letter which Student Services sent out at the beginning of the semester, and which students may be biding their time on before pursuing, states: "The success of the carpool is now up to you." r UW-PARKSIDE invites you to spend Easter in...

Grievance Comm. hears more gripes by Rebecca Ecklund The Grievance and Clearinghouse Committee of the Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) met last Wednesday to continue hearing complaints from students. The committee, co-chaired by PSGA senators Mike Hahner and Tom Petersen, was meeting for the third time this semester. Three students showed up at the meeting to air grievances. James Smith complained of the lack of wall lockers on campus for storage of coats and books and so on. He also complained of the small size of the gym lockers in the Phy Ed building locker rooms. Smith would like to see the swimming pool open for more hours and for those hours to be accurate. He also complained about the lack of a direct bus route between the Phy Ed building and the academic complex of buildings, especially in winter when there are snowdrifts on the paths. Smith also voiced a complaint about the amount of student money taken out of tuition for the Student Union which he will not be able to use since he will be graduating before it is built. Dennis Milutinovich protested the delay in re-running student government elections; PSGA declared itself invalid last semester after illegal election procedures were brought to its attention and new elections are slated for April. Jeanette Crossland also complained about the lack of wall lockers in the school. She believes they could be installed in the. basement areas and paid for in* part if students were charged a small fee for their use. Crossland also would like to see separate hot and cold food lines in the cafeteria. G TOGETHER FINAL CLOSEOUT! 50% OFF! GOLDEN HANGER Slacks & Jeans Sweaters Jackets Shirts & To ps 308 SIXTH ST.

The novice needs to be guided by the consultant and helped to understand the specifications and language of the art of sound reproduction. He soon learns to trust the consultant's knowledge to lead him to the best sound for his need and budget. The hobbyist is usually trying to pgrade his present stereo system. He needs the consultant because he is familiar with the equipment he has and understands the more mature sound the hobbyist is trying to achieve. The audiophile is knowledgeable of the technical language of Hi-Fi and can communicate with the audio consultant on his level. The consultant keeps him up-to-date on new equipment and advances in the state of the art. To sum it up, a certified audio consultant will be patient with the novice, understanding of the hobbyist and up-todate with the audiophile. Most important, while his knowledge of sound equipment is considerable, it a question arises he can't answer, he'll honestly say: "I don't know, but I w ill find out tor you," instead of giving the prospective customer a "snow-job" just to make a sale. The audio consultant knows that a HiFi system will only be as good as its weakest link. To help avoid such imbalance, he will design your system using some basic rules of thumb. For example, if you want to buy a receiver, turntable and two speakers and have $500 to spend, he will recommend a receiver in the$225 range (45 percent), a turntable for around $125 (25 percent), and speakers costing approximately $150 (30 percent) a pair. It makes little sense to pair off a superb receiver with a meek speaker system or equip a' top turntable with a so-so cartridge. ••• If you have some spare bread, here are some great buys! « Portable mini-AM radio with leatherette carrying case, reg. $9.95, now only $4.95.

Kah John Tank, Parkside's star class A foilest, will fence his last home meet this Saturday. Tank, whose home is Wauwatosa, started fencing at the age of 10 in the Wauwatosa Recreation Department. His coach was Ed Sampon. His success in fencing continues from that point on to the time he won his class A classification at the unclassified meet in foil in March 1970. In the fall of 1970 Tank came to Parkside. In two years, by February of 1972, he won the State closed foil tournament. Because of the number of entries and the number of class A fencers present, Tank won the meet and the coveted class A ranking. There are only 15 class A foilers in the Great Lakes states. This past fencing season Tank won every foil tournament in Wisconsin sponsored by the Amateur Fencing League of America. In the 1972-73 season Tank won six consecutive meets, his record was 53 victories and seven defeats. So far this season he has continued successfully by not losing any college match, and also winning one Amateur Fencing League tournament. Keith Herbrechtsmeier will also fence his last home meet this Saturday. According to Coach Loran Hein, his most remarkable feat was performed his first year of fencing when he won his class A ranking in less than 12 months. "This is like finding a diamond in Relay team takes first The Parkside 880 relay team took first in the Titan Invitational Track Meet in Oshkosh Saturday. Runners were Lee Broadway, Herb DeGroot, Cornelius Gordon and Walt Smith. Gordon also took first in the 440 yard dash. Pat Burns finished fourth in shot put with a throw of 48'4%", setting a new school record for Parkside. Keith Merritt took first in the triple jump. Lucien Rosa was first in the two mile run and third in the mile, and is now going into training for the Boston Marathon. Other teams participating were UW-Milwaukee, UW-Whitewater, UW-Stevens Point, UW-Oshkosh, Marquette, Carroll College, Carthage and the University of Chicago track club. * Patronize J * * * * our * Advertisers * John Tank your driveway!" said Hein. Herbrechtsmeier did not start to fence until his sophomore year; however, he rose quickly to the top of his weapon, the foil. At the end of his fourth year at Parkside, he went into the Army. He was the assistant fencing coach at West Point for two years. Herbrechtsmeier is now back for his last fling at college fencing. His and Tank's last goal will be to win the Great Lakes Fencing Championship on March 9 at Detroit. Fencers win two in Detroit In fencing over the weekend Parkside won two and lost two in a four team fencing meet in Detroit.

Sun. Feb. 24 Mon. Feb. 25 Tues. Feb. 26 Grapplers lose to Eastern III. and Indiana Parkside wrestlers fought three dual meets over the weekend, winning 45-12 over Chicago State and losing 25-14 to Eastern Illinois and 27-12 to Indiana State/Eastern Illinois and Indiana are top NCAA schools. In the Chicago meet Parkside grapplers won all weight categories except two which were lost in forfeits, since UW-P has no wrestlers in those categories. Pins were scored by Rico Savaglio, Ken Martin, Randy Scarda, Rich Baron, Tom Beyer and Brad Frieburg. "The highlight of the meet," according to Coach Koch, "was Joe Landers defeat over Chicago's Mel Bland, who had previously been 25-0 before losing this match." Against Eastern Illinois Parkside winners were West, Martin and Scarda. The Indiana contest saw Savaglio, West and Scarda defeat their opponents. Martin suffered his first career loss, making him 20-1, losing to Indiana's Steve Barkman 4-3. Parkside's current dual meet record stands at seven wins, four losses and one draw. Coming up for the grapplers is the National Tournament on March 7, 8 and 9 in River Falls. SOME N EW LIFE STYLE B OOKS AVAILABLE NOW AT MARTHA M ERRELL'S BOOKSTORES!
