Anne Bradstreet 1612-1672 Shuttle bus se-rvice undergoes change by John D. Hoefflin Ranger Staff Contrary to what is popularly believed, there will be shuttle bus service next semester. The service is going to be altered somewhat, but some type of service will be in effect. City buses become the Shuttle service According to a plan negotiated by Ron Brinkmann, Director of Security, along with the Kenosha Transit Company and the Campus Planning Committee, the shuttle bus will be replaced by the Racine and Kenosha city buses. The Racine bus will arrive on campus every hour on the half-hour, and the Kenosha bus will arrive every hour on the hour. While on campus they can be used as shuttle buses by students. They will also be supplemented by a single Jelco bus during peak hours until April 1. This plan could mean that unless you ride the bus during peak hours you will have to wait up to thirty minutes to catch a bus, or walk. The reason for the change in service is because of the large expense involved in the old shuttle system. It is not known at this time exactly how much of a saving the new system will provide, but 1t is in the neighborhood of 30-50% According to Brinkmann, the new plan will be "asses ed" during the spring semester Although it will be in effect the entire semester, some stt1dents might have their own assessment of the plan after a single 30-mmute wait in the cold. "Hunting Permits" to be issued Brinkmann stated that there were two main points he wanted to make about the parking situation next seme ter. These are 1) There will be no bus service to the East Parking Lot With the opening of the Physical Education Lot, the East Lot is no longer neeaed, and it will not be maintained 2) White permits are only to be considered "hunting permits" They do not guarantee a parking place If you find the lot full you must go to another parking area Schedules available On-campus shuttle bus pamphlets are now being prepared, and they will give approximate times and locations for each of the bu s These will be ready by registration, and will be handed out at that time Academic policies committee approves flew grade system The Academic Policies Committee has approved a new grading system for Parkside students. The new system, similar to Milwaukee's traditional system, was unanimously approved at last Wednesday's meeting and would read as follows: A 4 points A-3.67 B+ 3.33 8 3 8-2.67 c+ 2.33 C: 2 C-1.67 D+ 1.3-3 D 1 F 0 and become effective in September, 1978. Committee member Stella Gray, Professor-Engl1 h, not d that th r would be no A+ or 0-, because the first would be off the point cale and the second would create a grade of F + According to chairman James Shea, Professor-Earth Science, the committee will have to check on (;ertain aspects of the fea 1bility of the proposal before submitting 1t to the Faculty Senate. Among these aspects are 1) catalog changes required 2) w grading sheets 3) Programming costs at the Computer Center 4) w report card format Shea said he will check with the registrar and the computer center before submitting the proposal to the Un1vers1ty Committee, which sets the agenda for the Faculty Senate Gray said that the proposal should be ready for the December 20 n,eeting of the Faculty Senate Jazz Band-knocks 'em out on page 6 • views Ranger is written and edited by students of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and they· are solefy responsible'-for its editorial policy and cont~nt .. Ranger Newspaper, University ol Wisconsin-Parkside Kenosha, Wisconsin 53141 I Subscriptions: $5.00 year for U.:.S.A. says outgoing edjtor ~· 'Sometimes the median is the message' This week Ranger interviews the outgoing Editor. Philip L. Livingston, Kenosha sophomore, has been Editor of Ranger since last January. The newspaper rotates its editorial leadership every year. Livingston's term expires when the last issue of fall semester is distributed, December 14. Some students, including former staff members have criticized Livingston's editorial posture. As in many other schools, there are a good number of students at Parkside who think their student newspaper is worthless. Ranger asked Livingston how he perceives the newspaper and his performance as Editor in the face of unfavorable criticism. "Sometimes the median is the message!The Ranger is nothing more than students using the available technology to print ink on newsprint paper. Although the Editor probably can-be blamed for poor editorial content, the Ranger is only as interesting, inova!ive, and exciting as the folks who write it every week. During my year as Editor the offices had to move to Tallent Hall because of const:uction in WLLC. Being located that far from the main campus turned out to be a devastating experience for an information processing organization. What good have you done for the Ranger? It doesn't really matter what I think I have done for the paper. If a majority of people don't read it, which is not true of the Ranger, it is probably a crappy paper. We circulate enough copies for every student on this campus. Most of the copies are gone when the next issue comes out._ Yes, they are reading what we write out there. That in itself doesn't prove I have done a good job. More important than what I think, is what the rest of Ranger staffers think they have communicated. Do they think they have done anything 'good' for Ranger or Parkside? They are the ones who will still be publishing after I leave." You have maintained contacts with members of the faculty, administra.tion, and student body. What is your opinion of Parkside as an educational institution? ,, "Students don't come to school with an empty box that is filled when they graduate. But, the administrative actions regarding their academic progress implies some quantitative accumulation of something. Surely, students don't believe they will be taught everythin~they are to learn in this world. The faculty acts just like any other group of people who have earned a credential that establishes their credibility. Some physicians like to think of themselves as healers. Some lawyers like to think of themselvts as the ones responsible for justice in America. Some professors like to think they hold something special that deserves programmatic distribution. Few professors use the library and media facilities to the fullest advantage in their teaching. There are a few hustlers out there that are publishing like mad and establishing themselves in their field. A lot of Parkside professors, like at any other university, are lazy. They don't publish because they don't have to. They don't change their notes because they don't have time. They don't talk much to students because they don't feel comfortable doing so. You don't see too many students running out o·f their classrooms full of excitement and enthusiasm. On the other hand, our faculty comes from the best graduate schools in the country. Read the bac;k of the black catalog sometime." What about the administration? "It has been suggested that I write an article entitled, 'Can we repair the damage Gusl<i11 has done?' There are those around him in the 'upper room' that wish everyone would listen to him closer so that his programs would be more successful. And there are those who wish he would go away. He is definitely in charge, though he needs the support of the faculty to pull anything off. I think he is a fair man. He is definitely a hustler. In ten years, he will be much farther up the ladder than anyone else at Parkside. I don't see how anyone would want to be a Chancellor at Parkside. He has to deal with so much incompetence and all that petty gossip. But for 48,000 dollars a vear ... " , You have photographed the basketball team and have played up their activities in many issues of the Ranger. Whyl "That basketball team is great! ·They are cool, collected, smart, fast, effective, and good. These are primo qualities, They are a primo team! I would like to choke the one who stole my friendl's cameras, but I really love that team. Parkside strives for excellence in teaching_ and academia. More people should study what our team has got. There will never be a photograph big enough to capture the essense of their talent." What will you do next semester after you are finished as Editorl ''Good question! I have already tried the Marine Corps, -Vietnam, college, communication, and am still alive. I think I had better get a bit more pragmatic." There are probably people you would like to thank publicly ... "There most certainly are! I haven't had time to visit my mother, in Pleasant Prairie for months. I love her very much and miss seeing her. My wife, Lynn, has done an unfair amount of work for her alma mater's newspaper during my editorship. I will make it up. In the faculty, I have received inspiration, advice, and support, from Stella ,Gray, Beecham Robinson, Richard Pomazal, Sheldon Harsel (now at the University of WashirYgton), Don and Gail Kummings. These people have disagreed with me and have not supported me when I have been wrong. They are honest people. In my opinion, they are among the best educators on this campus. I would like to thank Allen Fredrickson for all the photographic aid he has given our publication. He is a friend and a scholar (he graduated). I would like to thank all the Ranger staffers. They know how much they have helped. Last of all, I would like to thank Howard Brown, Publish~r of the Kenosha News. Though the management of the Journal-Times has had more connections with the business side of the Ranger, Howafd Brown has always cheered us up and given us support. He has to be one of the most upstanding citizens of southeastern Wisconsin. When the dust settles on their building construction, and the color separator stabilizes, the Kenosha News is going to be the best looking four color newspaper in the Midwest." Next week, in our last issue this semester, we will interview Ranger's new Editors. Phy. Ed. building not meeting needs of stude_nts To the Editor: When it comes to the time, when the students of this university, cannot use the facilities, t en we are in very sad shape. The facilities we are writing about are those of the Physical Educational Building. There seems to be no free time allowed at this facility so that the average student may use it. You either have to have a class there or be a member of one of the teams to use it. It doesri_'t matter what time you go there because there is either classes or some team is practicing. Why should we pay for a facility (through our tuition) when we can't use it. We believe that there should be more free time allowed than just a few minutes between classes or practices so that the average student may be able to take advantage of these facilities. We speak of discrimin-ation in many ways. Here is another form. How about it. Give us some time there too. A Concerned Group of Students [8] / 2 Reader warns of sharp contrasts at Christmas To the Editor: Christmas is a time of year at which the concept of giving receives much attention. Exam-ining some of what God's Word, the Bible, teaches about giving along with what we observe going on around us makes for some sharp contrasts. The World says, 'Be sure you get what's coming to you.' The Word says, 'Your life doesn't consist of what you possess.' (Luke 12:15) The World says, 'Lend to those who can repay you.' The Word says, 'Open your hand wide, for God will bless you.' (Deut. 15) The World says, 'Give so you can obtain favor from man.' The Word says, 'Give because you have received favor from God.' (2 Cor. 8:9) The World says, "Looking out for number one is the way to go." The people asked Jesus, "Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you? Or thirst¥ and give you anything to drink? Jesus said, "When you did it to these, my brothers (Neighbors) you were doing it to me!" (Matt. 25:37 & 40) Parkside Inter-Varsity Chris-tian Fellowship. (I.V.C.F.) calls the Parkside community to join in a celebration of giving this Christmas season by making contributions of non-perishable, dry-goods for needy families in the Racine-Kenosha area. Please bring any items which you'd like to share with our neighbors to a drop-center located in an alcove by the Library Learning Center, December 12-15. Collec-tion time will be from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Let's all unite in the joys of giving!!! .. Eric Ernst President, 1.V.C.F. Student stands up for President Carter To the Editor: Ken Sokolow, in his article reprinted in last week's Ranger, voiced some sentiments which unfortunately seem to be quite ·prevalent among Carter's (form-er?), supporters. While I certainly disagree with Carter in ,_some areas, I believe that for the most part he is doing a creditable job. In some of the issues he raised, Sokolow clearly didn't know what he was talking ahout. For example his asst:-rtion that Carter has "retained Nixon and Ford's money czar, Chairman Arthur 'Third Degree Burns", indicates that Mr. Sokolow is unaware of the fact that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board is appointed to a seven year term. Mr. Burns' term expires in 1978 and it does not appear likely that Carter will reappoint him. Concerning Sokolow's obser-vations about Carter's Foreign Policy, I would point out that the Middle East has been in turmoil for the past 30 years, I think it would be fair to give Carter another year to try and achieve a peace settlement. Mr. Sokolow's opposition to the Panama Treaty seems to stem from two areas: First, that some conservative Democrats are opposed to it, and second t'1at original negotiations were initiated by Ford. Regardless of who is-currently opposed to it, or who started negotiations, the Treaty should be judged on its merits. The relevant factors to be considered here are; a) the Canal is of absolutely no strategic value, b) it is of very little economic significance (less than 7% of the goods shipped to and from the U.S. pass through the Canal), and cl regardless of the acceptability of our overt international adventurism in 1903, continued U.S. ownership of the Canal Zone is inconsistent with our avowed commitment to self determination for the less developed countries of the world. Sokolow concludes that for the kind of leadership we've l:5een getting, we may as well have· elected Ford. He feels betrayed. Observe that: 1) Carter vetoed the B-1 bomber (saved us about $30 billion). 2)Carter has come out_ strongly opposed to the breeder reactor. (he vetoed the Clinch River Reactor). 3) Carter truly "opened up" the White House (he holds more press conferences than any President in recent rn_ !!'ory). 4) The Carter Administration has submitted an amicus curiae brief on the Bakke case supporting affirmative action programs. 5) Carter has introduced a welfare reform package that substantially increases benefits and incorporates a negative income tax. I could extend the list further but I believe I've made my point. I believe Carter's been a good President and I believe he'll get better. More than that, he is a distinct improvement over Gerald Ford.
