Polcyznski and Williams win teaching awards Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document o I c y z n s k i a n d Williams win teaching awards by Debra Friedell This year's distinguished teaching awards have been presented to James Polcyznski, lecturer in business management, and Michael Williams, assistant professor of mathematics. In addition to the recognition as being dis tin gui she d t e a c h e rs Polcyznski and Williams will each receive $500. Their award will be given at commencement exercises on May 19. The two were selected by a teaching awards committee which chose them after receiving nomination letters from Parkside students. Nominations were received for 44 faculty members. The committee made its final selection last Wednesday and the winners were notified by mail on James S. Polcyznski Monday. "Polcyznski," said his colleague LeRoy Cougle, "has made an outstanding contribution to his division. He is a major componant in helping to make the division a success. He lends a great deal of professionalism to the faculty," said Cougle. In their nomination letters, students wrote of Polcyznski's interest in his students, stimulating lectures, and ability to motivate students. "Polcyznski," they wrote, "encourages the student to become familiar with practical experiences through the use of case studies." This is Polcyznski's first year at Parkside, having started last fall. SCAFE (Student Course and Faculty Evaluation) scores show him with an average of 4.6 on a 5.0 scale on the question "considering everything how would you rate this teacher." William Moy, Dean of the School of Modern Industry, said that because of such high enrollment rates in Polcyznski's classes this semester, courses had to be closed shortly after registration began. He is now instructing more than 300 students. Polczynski received his undergraduate degree in business administration with high honors in his major and senior honors from UW-Milwaukee. He is currently completing work for his graduate degree at UW-Madison. Polscynski is teaching courses this semester in Principles of Manage ment, Personnel Mana geme nt, a n d Organizational Administration. Williams has taught math at Parkside since 1968. He recently co-authored a math textbook "Elementary Mathematics: A Fundamentals and Techniques Approach" for prospective math teachers with Sam Filippone, Parkside assistant professor of mathematics. In their nomination forms for Williams, students wrote of well organized lectures, application of math problems to modern day situations, Williams' availability to students, and interesting, informative lectures. Colleague Filippone said that the feedback he had received by students on Williams clearly indicates that he is indeed an outstanding professor." He added that Williams works hard on teaching methods which will motivate students." Said Filippone, "Williams is a pleasant and personable individual who loves his profession." Williams teaches Algebra and Trigonometry as well as Applied Mathematical Analysis. In Michael Zane Williams SCAFE Williams' averages a 1.45 on a 5.0 scale, 1.0 being high and 5.0 being low. Williams received his masters and Ph. D. from Colorado State and taught there before coming to Parkside. The Science Division Executive Committee earlier had recommended Williams be terminated. His appeal was heard on April 25 but the result has not been made public yet. Other finalists for the distinguished teaching award were Dave Beach, assistant professor of psychology; Christine Boot, assistant professor of German; Richard Keehn, assistant professor of economics; Laverne Quass, assistant professor of chemistry; and Thomas Reeves, professor of history. As editor it is my painful duty to state (with tear in eye) that this (choke) is the final issue of the year. But be of good cheer- Amy will return to titillate you, I sh all once again form your opinions for you, and the rest of our staff will be back to misinform you, in September. The Parkside RAIMGER Wednesday, May 8, 1974 Vol. II No. 31 Would utilize leftover SSS UW-P won't raise segregated fee by Michael Olszyk Parkside's Segregated Fee proposal is waiting for approval this month from Central Administration and ultimately the Board of Regents. The campus' recommended use of student monies, including the utilization of past years' accumulations of the Segregated Fee, was submitted to Central Administration by the director of Budget Planning, Gary Goetz. The budget proposal for 1974-75 maintains the $88 dollars for the academic year and $22.00 summer session fee currently paid by each student as part of the tuition. Originally, a "Segregated Fee Allocations Committee" had recommended an increase in the Segregated Fee of $6.50 yearly. This was to meet inflationary costs in student programming and requests for staff expansion. Increase Now Not Timely William Niebuhr, chairperson of the Committee, said that Chancellor Wyllie told his committee in March that an increase in student fees at this time would jeopardize the university's desire to seek an additional increase in the Segregated Fee once construction begins on the new Campus Union. Goetz said that the use of balances left over from past years would "substantially meet the program demands" recognized by the committee. However, Goetz stated that there will be no increase in feesupported staff, as requested by the committee for Student Activities and Health Service. The completed campus recommendations, "rejected any long term commitments" (staffing) tied to the use of reserve funds. Parkside currently has only one full-time programmer, which represents the smallest staff in this area within the UW-System. Also the committee reported to the chancellor in March that a full-time receptionist in Student Health would "eliminate current problems in trying to schedule student receptionists to provide proper coverage." Parking Lots In Picture Transportation-the shuttle bus and parking lot fees - has previously been fixed at $18 for the academic year. Initially the committee had recommended dropping this fee to $16 due to the elimination of the weekend bus service this year and the Kenosha run second semester of next year. But in the campus proposal, a further reduction to $14 is made and the balance utilization of $7,950 to continue funding transportation through the Segregated Fee. "This re-deployment of dollars for student programs is possible because of the fall opening of the new parking lots located closer to the core facilities," states the campus proposal, although these controversial lots have not been fully approved yet. Also, the campus recommendations call for "formulating an entirely revised parking rate structure, tied to the 'convenience value' of two new lots." Faculty and staff annual rates will be increased from $40 to $50 with students provided the option of parking in the convenient lots at an equivalent rate or in the more remote lots at $28 per academic year. Regarding the Lecture and Fine Arts Committee the report says that in response to the "studentdominated Segregated Fee Advisory Committee (the committee was composed of six students, three faculty, three staff and one civil service representative ), we are contemplating the transfer of control over the Lecture and Fine Arts resources from a faculty-controlled committee to a studentdominated Parkside Activities Board, charged to maintain the integrity of Lecture and Fine Arts programming." Union Reserve Still $38.50 Specific allocations include maintaining the same portion of the Segregated Fee ($38.50 per academic year and $11 summer session) for the Union Reserve during 1974-75, a s in the past. An increase of $3.50 plus balance utilization of $6,200 was recommended for Student Life. This will provide for program expansion in the area of video and outdoor recreation, and fight inflation in prices for films, lectures and live entertainment. Other Student Services Gain Some For Health services there will be no addition to the Segregated Fee of $2. Instead, balance utilization of $3,000 will occur for hiring limited term employees and to cover increased costs for medical services and supplies. Balance utilization of $6,000 and the present $9 Segregated Fee in the area of Athletics was recommended to help replace worn equipment; Continued on page 3 Ea ting, drinking, ent e rtainment P A B a n n o u n c e s a n n u a l THE E N D c e l e b r a ti o n by Tom Petersen "The End." the annual celebration of the end of the academic year, is taking place the weekend after finals, May 18 and 19. Located in the Activities Building and an adjoining circus tent, this years event again includes a lot of eating, drinking and various forms of entertainment. It all starts on Saturday night with free popcorn and plenty of beer to wash it down with. "Saturday night is a good beer drinking, hand clapping, footstomping, good time night," said John Graham of t he Activities Board. "Ron Crick and the Back to the Land Band" will lead off the entertainment, followed by "Col. DeKalb and the Corn People." "They play some of the best bluegrass material I've heard in a long time," said Graham. Sunday afternoon features a free show with "Tony, Jumbo, and the Root River Review." Beer and brats will be sold with a free beer promised to any grad who shows up in cap and gown. Contests planned for the afternoon include beer chugging, pie eating, and the first and last annual water walk across Lake Wyllie. Participants will see who can be the fastest to down two glasses of beer, or eat a pie with their hands behind their back. Others will try to show their spiritual powers by crossing Lake Wyllie without getting wet (a lifeguard will be provided for those who can't meet the test). RANGER will also be sponsoring artist Amy Cundari drawing caricatures of students with proceeds going to the Harlow B. Mills scholarship fund. * Sunday night concludes the festivities with the rock revival group "True" and "Blood Money." "True" has a national recording contract and "Blood Money" has recently added a moog synthesizer into their act. Said Buzz Faust of the Activities Board, "They're damn good groups! " This year the Activities Board is trying to break two records set last year. With the co-operation >f the student body they hope to smash the record consumption of 54 half barrels of beer and top the attendance record of over 2,000. The doors open at 7 p.m. Saturday night with admission set at $1.50 for students and $2 for guests Sunday afternoon from 2-5 p.m. admission is free with your Parkside ID. Sunday night students pay $2 and guests $2.50 when doors open up at 6:30. Parkside and Wisconsin ID's are required for both days. 2 T HE PARKSIDE RANGER Wednesday/ May 8, 1974 •Editorial/Opinion- . Fee com m ittee Faculty senate should liberal! drop policy It is our feeling that the Faculty Senate should drop the current policy which dictates that students may drop If 0 , 0?® only up to the e 'Qhth week of a semester. We think that a deadline such as that at UW-Milwaukee where a sfudent may drop until the final day .of classes, is more reasonable and appropriate. The present policy allows only for extraordinary exceptions. The catalogue states that permission is needed after the eighth week from the instructor and divisional chairperson and these individuals are left with the task of defining what is or isn't valid reason exception. An interesting development is that these requests now also go the academic deans' offices. Dean Eugene Norwood of the College of Science and Society says his signature is usually a formality, although his ice conducts a random review. RANGER has learned of at least one case where the assistant dean in CSS turned down a drop which had been approved by the instructor and division head, in contradiction to the catalogue which is the students'guide and is cited to late droppers. The worst part of the policy is that a poor grade is not considered an adequate excuse, the feeling being that the student has enough of a chance to determine how heshe is doing before the eight week deadline. We feel that the normal six weeks test is not sufficient to predict one's progress in many courses. Everyone knows a C in the sixth week often becomes an A or an F by the sixteenth week, and failure to pass is certainly not always due to failure to make to to class or do the necessary work. By not allowing drops through the last day of classes or by making academic insufficiency invalid as an exception, the faculty are inducing students to connive their way out of a class they are hopelessly lost in. Students have been known to manufacture excuses such as illness or a job to get out of a course. The faculty are aware of this reprehensible situation, yet last year when a proposal was brought before the Faculty Senate to liberalize the drop policy it was not only defeated but the Senate voted to enforce more stringently its eight week deadline. Many faculty had apparently chosen to loosen up on their own and division heads were charged with cracking down on them. Fortunately, there is a move underway among some faculty and at least one division chairperson to get the question before the Senate again and hopefully this time succeed in getting a more resonable policy. We feel that student support in this effort can help immensely, and RANGER urges students and faculty alike to work for adoption of this needed revision. The ParkskleRANGER EDITOR IN CHIEF - Jane M.

The segregated fee allocation proposal forwarded to central administration by the chancellor and budget director is in many ways an insult to the advisory committee of students, faculty and staff composed to make recommendations about disbursement of student money. For example, one section of the report gives lip service to "student" desires but appears actually to be trying to countermand student opposition to the new parking lots, saying that a shift of money from shuttle bus service to needy student programs will be possible because of the fall opening of the new lots "located closer to the core faciI ities." These lots are not approved yet, the public hearing hasn't even been held, but the administration continues to act as if it is a foregone conclusion that only students will object so Parkside will get the lots and the students will really be happier. They can pay more money for the privilege of looking for a space in the new lots, but because they have new lots they'll continue to have concerts and films is what the report seems to be saying. Another example from the report states that "in response to the student-dominated Segregated Fee Allocation Committee, we are contemplating the transfer of control over Lecture and Fine Arts resources" from faculty to students. First of all, students comprised one short of half the committee so it was not "student-dominated" in any clear way (although central administration guidelines called for such a student contingent). Secondly, why are they still contemplating" this change? When will we know if this simple recommendation which was foreshadowed in a statement by last year's committee, is rejected or accepted? The report concluded by saying that use of money left over from previous years will allow the University to "substantially meet the program demands recognized by the...Committee without implementing the $6.50 increase in the $88 segregated fee they strongly recommended." However, it is impossible for anyone but the budget people to tell at this point if this is true, since no dollar amounts were included in the copy of the memo given to the Committee chairperson, who says he is still awaiting these figures six weeks after they were received in Madison. Our conclusion is that, as the committee report stated, this campus is handicapped by heavy burdens on the segregated fee which cut into student service and programming funds. If the University can bolster these areas by some means other than a tuition increase we certainly applaud this. But RANGER feels that the ? nd m°[ G specific s °urces and allocations of these balances should have been disclosed immediately upon the administration's decision. Not to provide this information at least to Committee members, is intn thp r u " +hinkin9 a+ best - To have provided it ^ical ,H I 0 "" 6 " deliberated would have been D potentially made the Committee s work seem worthwhile.

I'd like to make a few comments before I exit as editor, mostly concerning recent events on campus. The parking lot question has reached the State Legislature, with Sen. Douglas LaFollette proposing an amendment to the merger bill which would block construction of the lots. At this writing the bill is to be considered mid-week, and meanwhile Chancellor Wyllie and PSGA president Dennis Milutinovich are taking pot shots at each other in the local media. I find it appalling that students could be upset over the parking lots for two months and receive little more attention than invisible trees, but let the issue expand beyond students and the University is immediately in a state pf shock. Perhaps if a little more sincerity and attention had been paid to student concerns back then, they would not now be concerns of legislators. I only hope the chancellor doesn't continue to argue that PSGA president Dennis Milutinovich and the rest of student government aren't really "representative" of the students. The best defense may be offense, but that kind of an attack isn't going to help relations between students and administration much, and like it or not, Wyllie is going to have to deal with Milutinovich and PSGA as the validlyelected voice of the students, and a strong, determined voice it is. Such disparate entities as students and administrators must, however, find and maintain ways of reaching each other; this campus is too young to already be so firmly entrenched in mazes of dead-end communication paths. Another of PSGA's battle fronts is the book exchange, slated for next week with the "where" a question mark. Main Place is the desired location but administrators, after allowing art shows, print sales, glass blowers and rallies there, not to mention registration, have reportedly decided they don't want the area to become a "bazaar." The reasoning here is a bit bizarre, for it seems to me that if Main Place was designed as a central gathering place, they ought to let students gather there and exchange books. I inally it's the end-all that's left is good-bye for the summer. To next year's editor I can say it no better than my predecessor put it for me: I congratulate Ken Pestka for having the intestinal fortitude to become the new editor of this paper. There are many times when he'll need hip boots and a shovel, but the experience is full of good moments too, and I guess it's all worth it. I'm now officially on a long vacation. gJkagiBEK .

Student Group Support, the money distributed by the Campus Concerns Committee, was upped .50 cents with balance utilization of $1,750 due to the increased number of organizations to be served and larger requests from them.

We get letters To the Editor: Being a student and a mother of two small children, who are presently attending the Parkside Child Care Center, I feel compelled to write this letter stating my feelings on the ousting of the Center by the Parkside Baptist Church. First off, let me state that if the Center is forced to close, it will put me in an interesting situation, to say the least. Being far from rich (I exist on A.F.D.C.), I am presently receiving financial assistance through the University, and this has virtually paid for the care my children receive at the center. (A.F.D.C., at one time, paid out babysitting money, To the Editor: Many tend to see apathy as a group phenomenon. But that's putting effect before cause. It begins with an individual's turned back, an individual's shrugged shoulders,and spreads malignantly to the group. Watergate illustrates what a political leader can do to an apathetic nation. It is certainly not for lack of issues that we remain inactive. Here at Parkside there is one in particular which demands our involvement. Will we give it? Please read on. Don Krogh is an honest cop, one of those guys you may read about but never expect to meet. He left his job with the Caledonia Police Department, taking a cut in pay, to accept the challenge of helping to develop the new Parkside Safety and Security organization. He hoped to make it a model of good police-community relations. When administration policy appeared incompatible with this goal, Don Krogh began to feel concerned. He could have easily sat back, behind the protection of his office, with his eyes and mouth closed, and marked time until his pension was due. Instead, with great risk to his job and future, he agitated for reform in University policy. He therefore became a marked man because the administration does not tolerate differences of opinion. It ferrets out "noisy personel and replaces them with To the Editor: It was brought to my attention today by Mr. Ted Wood, Mgr. of the bookstore, that reference was made in your May 1 issue to PI SIGMA EPSILON. Your source was in error. I am specifically speaking of page 1, column five, paragraph four. We are not establishing an exchange. We have however been investigating the need for such an exchange. Our only involvement in such an exchange would be to provide the Parkside students with a service. We are a nonprofit organization, and as such but this was cut off in January because of Federal action.) If the center were to close, I would probably have to cut down on the number of credits I am carrying, lengthening the number of years I will be on welfare. (To all those who may think that living on welfare is easy, I say, "Try it sometime.") As for my children, the past two semesters at the Center have been terrific for them. I have watched my youngest (who is 3 years old) come out of the shell she had surrounded herself with. I attribute this partially to the Center and the rich learning experiences that they provide. My other daughter has exquiet "yes" people. Don Krogh is not the first to be replaced for this reason, and he undoubtedly will not be the last. On February 21, Don Krogh, along with two other S&S personel, was fired for insubordination and alleged involvement in "break-in" of the office of the Director of the Budget, Gary Goetz. The insubordination charge stems, of course, from his unwillingness to play ball with Parkside's wasteful and inequitable S&S policies. The "break-in" and related activities were reported in the March 27 RANGER. The article and subsequent editorials were attempts to justify an unjustifiable position. The article itself was filled with half-truths and innuendos. (RANGER'S restriction on length prevents me from including specifics, which made up nearly half of my original letter. They will be presented at Krogh's hearing-see end of letter). Ironically, the most damaging consequence of this entire affair has been to the RANGER itself. Long after Jane Schliesman and Olszyk are gone, the effect of their actions will remain. The importance of journalistic trust cannot be overly emphasized. Sources must be assured that their identity will remain confidential. Because the RANGER disclosed their sources, three people are discredited and an unpleasant situation remains have no intentions of becoming involved in profit ventures. As the PSGA is becoming involved in a book exchange there is apparently no need for us to involve ourselves. PI SIGMA EPSILON will, therefore, seek to serve the school and students in other capacities. I sincerely feel that this article has been damaging to my fraternity's image, and implies our involvement in something for which we will accept no responsibility. Sincerely, Doug Redmond President, PI SIGMA EPSILON To the editor: I would like to thank all those students, faculty, and staff persons who came and enjoyed themselves in the Whiteskellar this year. Because of you we had perienced a taste of "school" and is eager to learn many new things. It would seem reasonable to me that a University, with as large an adult population as we have here at Parkside, should be eager to assist their students and faculty in making the Parkside Child Care Center a reality here on campus. The proposed usage of the S.A.B. as a site for the Center is a reasonable solution to the problem. I a m confident that the students and administration of this University will lend their support to the Parkside Child Care Center. Denise Bodi Racine Freshman unrectified. The RANGER has buried itself; but our concern should not be with the dead. Don Krogh (whose case will affect the other two men) needs our support. We students can help him in two significant ways. First, his hearings, to be held in LLC D185 at approximately 10:00 a.m. on May 23 & 24, are open. As many people as possible should attend them. Second, he needs financial support. Don Krogh has pride in himself and could not sign an unt rut hfu l res ign ati on statement (as others have done before him). Consequently he was fired and is now locked in a legal battle to regain his job and clear his name. A criminal investigation found no evidence of illegal activity on Krogh's part and pressed no charges. Those of you who still value integrity are urged to support Don Krogh. Donations of any amount will be greatly appreciated. Attempts are being made to secure a table in LLC. If you wish to help in any way, please contact me at 886-4345. Remember to attend the hearings on May 23 and 24. Matt Zebell Editor's note: The criminal investigation referred to was conducted by the Justice Department and did uncover evidence of illegalities. The University, however, chose not to press charges after firing the employees involved when they refused to resign. RANGER stands by its March 27 article and editorials on the situation. CORRECTION: Last week's RANGER printed that Pi Sigma Epsilon was establishing a book exchange next fall on a profitmaking basis. This information was indirectly quoted from PSGA senator John Kontz, who had in turn learned it from the Bookstore. The information is erroneous. Pi Sigma Epsilon was investigating the possibility of starting such an exchange on a NON-profit basis, since the fraternity felt the need for such an exchange to serve the students. our most successful year ever. We hope to see you next year to participate in more fun and frolicsome activities. I would also like to take this opportunity to invite you to THE END on May 18 and 19. Hope to see you all agair have a good summer, get drun etc. GARY S. PETERSE!

Hedden Committee reports and action upon them constituted most of the business undertaken by the Parkside Student Government Association at their meeting of last Sunday, May 5. Even though many members were absent there was a quorum because a number of the senators not in attendance cast absentee ballots. Senator Greg Hawkins reported that the Constitution Committee had received constitutions from other student governments at schools across the nation and that at this point the material was being "digested" by the committee. Book Exchange Problems Senator John Kontz told the Senate of his difficulty in resolving their dispute with the administration as to the location of the student book exchange to be held May 15-16 from 3 to 7 p.m. Kontz said the committee felt that Main Place was the best location and that Bookstore Manager Ted Wood had said that he had no objections but that a d m i n is t r a tio n off ici als frustrated and denied them the site and gave the committee the "runaround." As a result Kontz moved that the Senate instruct President Dennis Milutinovich to write a letter in protest of the administration's uncooperative actions and that copies be sent to Chancellor Irvin Wyllie, assistant chancellor Allen Dearborn assistant dean of students Jewel Echelbarger. The administration's primary objection, according to Kontz, was that Main Place should not become a "bazaar" and is not intended for Merger bill vague on student powers Student control of student life, activities, and fees will be lost from the UW merger implementation bill unless the Legislature adopts an amendment clarifying the role of students in rule-making. State Senator Doug LaFollette pointed out that, while the merger bill now provides for student control of segregated fees, plans are already underway by University administrators to prevent student governments from effecitvely exercising such authprity after the: bill passes. "The merger bill's provisions are vague," LaFollette said. "And we can expect that shortly after its passage administrators will be acting as if the bill meant something entirely different than what the Legislature intended." The problem, according to LaFollette, is that while the bill provides for student control of student user fees, it doesn't spell out how that control is to be exercised. LaFollette said that his amendment would grant modified student rule-making authority to student governments. After notice and hearing, student governments would issue rules spelling out just how they would exercise their newly won power. LaFollette denounced attempts by Republican legislators to deny student governments control of student activities and fees unless at least 15 percent of students voted in the last campus government election. Conservative groups frequently claim elected student governments are unrepresentative because of low voter turn-out in campus elections. LaFollette commented, "But the voter turnout in local elections is often as bad or worse. Apathy," LaFollette added, "is not a problem that is confined to the campuses."

Kontz recommended that in the future it should be open to student organizations and that the administration should reverse its decision in the interests of the students. The motion was amended to include Senator James Smith's participation in the drafting of the letter. Support Relocation of Child Care Center ^ Kontz also moved that PSGA support the location of the Child Care center on campus and possibly in the Student Activities Building. Both of these motions were passed unanimously. Senator James Smith, chairperson of the Academic Policies Committee, said he saw no reason for his committee to meet unless someone saw a real need for action in this area. Senator Keith Chambers called for the committee to look into changes in the present drop-and-add system. Senator Deb Donatt said the Grievance and Clearinghouse Committee would meet sometime this week. Senator Keith Chambers reported on the Public Information Committee's efforts to publicize the issue of close in parking lots. Offer Parking Lot Compromise President Dennis Milutinovich, with the Senate's approval, will offer a compromise to Chancellor Irvin G. Wyllie stating that PSGA will withdraw its request for an amendment to the merger implementation bill that would prohibit the construction of the lots, submitted for the PSGA by State Senator Douglas Lafollete (D-22nd District), if the Chancellor would (1) impose a 1-year moratorium on the construction of t he new lots and (2) establish a student-faculty committee on parking lot construction. Chambers presented a speech opposing the construction of the lots and received the Senate's approval to give same at the public hearing to be held May 20th as a representative of the PSGA. President Milutinovich appointed Laura Bagnel as PSGA parli ment arian , replacing Senator Hawkins. In other action the Senate called for the Elections Committee to decide on the question of Bruce Wagner's seat on Campus Concerns Committee before that body meets. PSGA decided to postpone appointment and approval of individuals to committees until the next meeting, scheduled for Sunday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m. in LLC D174. Prof e ssor s l eave UW-P for be tt e r jobs Professor John G. Van Willigen will be leaving Parkside to teach at the University of Kentucky after this semester ends. Van Willigen said it was simply a matter of a better job. He explained that the University of Kentucky was an old school of anthropology that specialized in many of the areas that he was interested in. He further stated that the University offered a major and was a graduate school. Van Willigen said that he had no complaints about Parkside, that this was simply a better job that he had competed for and won. Van Willigen indicated he thought Parkside was a good John Van Willigen school "striving to come up with an identity." He added he felt that he received "fair treatment" and that the institution had many fine attributes. In political science, lecturer Kay Wahner is leaving to take a job at Southwestern University in Memphis, Tennessee. She indicated that she likeil' it—aV-.^ Parkside and it was a hard decision to leave but she felt it would be better in the long run. Wahner was an ad hoc instructor here for a year before being hired full-time last fall to fill in for John Harbeson, who is on leave of absence in Ethiopia for another year yet.

I'm thirsty Wednesday, May 8, 1974 TH E PARKSIDE RANGER 7 "The Bo y Fr i e n d" rev i ew Musical entertaining but not inspiring by Terry Kollman "The Boy Friend" which opened last Thursday night in the Comm Arts Theater was less than exciting. It lacked the enthusiasm and sparkle which is usually created in musicals through the songs and dances. The major problem was the choreography. Carla Boettcher, a choreographer from Racine, is sorely lacking in creativity and imagination. Every dance was done in a line across the front of the stage and consisted of about six basic dance steps. One of the few if not only member of the production staff to receive a remuneration (I tried to ascertain the exact amount but was denied such information), she certainly did not earn her money. It is unfortunate that talented people such as Rick Ponzio (Pepe) and Marie Romano (Lolita), were not given the opportunity to go beyond the simplistic dance which Ms. Boettcher choreographed for them. Their number, which should have been a fiery tango, could have been a show stopper. However, it wasn't. This is not to say that their dance was not done well, but the choreography did not do justice to their talents. The pit orchestra, directed by Bob Thomason, was outstanding. The two romatic leads, Melanie Hansen (Polly) and Ed Knudson (Tony) both had very adequate voices but it was difficult to hear them at times. The chorus, an ensemble of only light voices, managed to project well; however, their dictation could have used more work. Considering that the chorus was made up of basically untrained voices they did an admirable job. Tom Reinert, scene designer, is to be applauded for a very charming set. Lighting was an integral part of the set as it provided the background color. In this respect it worked well but greater variation would have created interest and heightened the spectacle. The costume supervisor, Louise Woiteshek, also did a nice job. There were very few if any discernable technical problems. There were problems, however, which can be attributed to a lack of careful direction. There was a schism in the playing styles of actors. Some of them played directly to the audience while others did not. This made the show seem disjointed and the artistic whole suffered because of it. The result was more of a variety show as opposed to a cohesive unit. The blocking of major scenes on either side rather than center stage was disturbing. The action should be played for the audience, not the stage hands standing in the wings. The acting in the whole was quite adequate. The comic antics of Phillip Livingston (Lord Brockhurst) were a real delight. His facial expressions and ability to change from proper Englishman to roving cad kept the audience amused. Carrie Ward (Lady Brockhurst) provided a good contrast to Livingston, however, many of h er lines were lost in the audiences laughter and the smacking of her umbrella. Carol Knudson as Madame Dubonnet had the age and charm but she was too reserved. There was no twinkle in her eye or voice when she sang, "I've Got the You Don't Want to Play With Me Blues." Ed Knudson and Melanie Hansen were perfect as the romantic leads. There may be something to say for type casting. The girls, Chris Strom (Masie), Connie Adams (Dulcie), Rondi Strom (Fay), and Mary Uyvari (Nancy), and their boyfriends Nick Sturino (Bobby Van Husen), Jeff Kielbauch (Marcel), Michael Ward (Pierre), and Mike Bomier (Alphonse) did a particularly nice job in "Sur Le Plage" and "The Riviera." If their other numbers had been done with as much animation and enhtusiasm the show would have livened up considerably. Parkside's production of " The Boy Friend" was entertaining but uninspired. People got their money's worth, but I don't foresee them beating down our theater doors to see more of the mediocre work that was done in our theater this past season.

Brief news RANGER makes error in parking lot storv An error appeared in the April 24 issue of RANGER. In an article concerning the proposed parking lot and PSGA's failure to get an injunction to stop construction of that lot, James Galbraith, Director of Planning and Construction, was quoted as saying no new lots were expected to be needed before 1980. That should have read no new lots should be needed until 1976 when planners feel a 450-space lot will be required unless Parkside's mass transit needs can be met. UW-P officially "neutral" on Hortonville strike John Mack, Higher Education Consultant to the Wisconsin Education Association Council (WEA) has informed RANGER that Parkside's position on the Hortonville school strike is to remain neutral. Quoting a letter from John Elmore, Director of Career Counseling and Placement, Mack said, " 'If the Hortonville Administration lists openings directly with this office (Placement at Parkside) we will post the opening. Our office would make a special note on this listing indicating that the school is involved in a strike. If one of our graduates indicated interest in an opening with Hortonville we would urge the student to investigate all of the ramifications of employment with the district before making a decision.' " Mack was on campus last Wednesday to discuss the strike with students and staff. He encouraged them to inform themselves on ttfe issues at Hortonville, and urged students to request that the Placement Office not advertise positions in Hortonville or place teachers from Parkside there.

"Your Extra Touch Florist" 8 THE PARKSIDE RANGER Wednesday, May 8, 1974 S t u d e n ts mo u rn l o ss G r u h l g r a d u a t e s ! by Ken Pestka Editor's note: "Who is Arthur Gruhl and why is he saying those terrible things?" is a question many readers of RANGER letters to the editor have asked. Well, he's a senior at Parkside (in more ways than one), and as a public service and to celebrate Gruhl's graduation we provide the following feature story on ol' Art. On May 19 Arthur Gruhl, Parkside's perennial commentator on life and morality, will join other graduates in accepting degrees. Gruhl, a history major, has completed one of the dreams of many dropouts-a college education. After a lag of some fifty years in which he was professionally active in the "Peace Corps" of his time--the Boy Scouts--and financially successful in real estate, he feels he has fulfilled one of the primary goals of his life. After graduation Gruhl intends to continue the travels that have taken him to fifty countries, with an extended trip to Rhodesia. Health permitting, he will spend three months working in a school established by a former member of his Boy Scout troop. His wife Ruth will accompany him on the trip. Art feels that Ruth has been the inspiration of his life. He indicated that this inspiration has been the reason behind his continuing interest in the world As Arthur Gruhl prepares to leave Parkside one of his last contributions to his fellow students is a down payment for PSGA president Dennis "Normal Neophyte" Milutinovich's next haircut. that has led to the many statements he has made regarding events and activities on campus. One hardly need chronicle the commentaries of Art Gruhl on life at Parkside. His continuing essays on the life style of students, faculty and staff have always been read with interest if not with agreement. Gruhl feels that aging is not a gradual retraction from a community spirit but that continuing involvement is the responsibility of experience. W r e st l e r Ma r t i n n a m e d t o p a t h l e t e Wrestler Ken Martin, a senior from Coleman, was named UWParkside's 1973-74 Athlete of the Year at the annual winter-spring sports awards banquet Friday night in Racine. Martin earned all-American honors four straight years during his career as a Ranger, winning the NAIA national title at 134 lbs. in 1973 and taking second this past year at 142 lbs. He finished second and third, respectively, during his first two seasons. He is the first Wisconsin college wrestler to achieve all-American status more than once. During Martin's career, UW-Parkside squads steadily improved, taking third place nationally this past season after ninth, 18th and 21st place finishes in the three previous campaigns. Martin was also named the wrestling team's most valuable wrestler in a vote of his teammates. Others honored at the awards night as most valuable for their respective teams were as follows: cross country, Lucian Rosa; soccer, Rick Lechusz; women's tennis, Joanne Rattan; basketball, Gary Cole; fencing', Bernie Vash; gymnastics, Kevin O'Neil; and golf, Tom Bothe. MVP's in men's track, women's track, baseball, and men's tennis will be named when the respective seasons are completed.

TWIN LAKES "Blood Money" Fri.&Sat. •••••*•••••••••• See a my a t T he E nd *•••••••••*••••• by Dick Ahlgrimm Sports editor The Parkside baseball team ended its initial season as a varsity level sport in a very dismal manner Friday, dropping a doubleheader to College of Racine. The Rangers finished with a disappointing 6-14 r ecord. The lack of success has been attributed to the fact that the team was composed of freshmen mostly. Many of the games which were lost in the late innings might have been won by a more experienced team, but I don't think that was the case with us. The main problem for Parkside was the lack of players on the team. Had there been some competition for positions, Coach Oberbruner would've been able to really work with his team. As it was, he could barely field a team. Oberbruner is an excellent baseball man with extensive knowledge of the game, but with the kind of ballplayers he was forced to use, he was literally helpless. The attitudes of some of the players didn't help much either. Several players must have realized that there were no replacements for them and just didn't seem to try very hard at times. It should be an honor to wear the Parkside uniform and represent our school in athletics, but I guess some players don't agree. There were some exceptions, though. Five or six players were outstanding throughout the year and form a good nucleus for next season. Let's hope that more capable players are found and that we can enjoy a more exciting season in 1975. 3 1 GwfUM. (i BAR DRINKS ONLY Sat.
