The article describes how1974was a"boom" year for AMC but few Kenoshans were spendingtheir healthy paychecks; instead they saved them, afraid that the"boom" would soon be over. Obviously the people of Kenosha havelittle faith In their city's economic health or otherwise they wouldhave felt safeto spend their money much more than they did.

During my stay here I have developed a few basic insights into what is wrong and right about my town. I hope by writing this article to stimulate some thinking on this matter. It is obvious to even the most casual of observers that Kenosha is a depressed town. Its economy is based upon one major employer, American Motors Corporation -an historically unstable company. American Motors is in deep trouble at this moment and is trying to merge with another car company in hopes of puling through.

Obviously the people of Kenosha have little faith in their city's economic health or otherwise they would have felt safe to spend their money much more than they did. This is not a healthy state of affairs and it leads to much anxiety, As I have heard many times, "If AMC closed up Kenosha would become a ghost town!" Buy why should it be this way? Why is Kenosha a frightened mill town? Perhaps the first thing to realize when facing these types of questions is that it is very rare for some other-organization or group outside the community to take care of these problems for us. If we are to build up our town, we have to do it ourselves. My opinion of what Kenosha should do to grow and improve its economic condition is based on an experience that I had before coming to Kenosha and one which I had thought a lot about. Several years ago I lived in South Bend, Indiana. At that time South Bend was a very healthy city. However ,1 a scant three years previously, it had been in much the same situation that Kenosha is in today. Studebaker car company was the major employer in South Bend and it was going broke. Studebaker gave South Bend approximately three years warning time about their plans to fold so that the city could prepare for the drastic change. The municipal administration of South Bend, and the community as a whole took it upon themselves to actively seek out and attract new investment and industry to their city to fill the gap left by Studebaker. Bendix Corp. was encouraged to expand more, Willys Jeep Corp. was brought in and all together a dozen new companies were added to the city's economy.

Its economy diversified and became more stable since it was now based on many different employers instead of just one-large one. An economy like South Bend's old one or Kenosha's present one might be likened to an inverted pyramid -a whole community based on a single employer; a very wobbily and dangerous situation. The course, then, that Kenosha should follow is obvious. We must actively seek out and pursue with utmost vigor, new industry and investment for Kenosha. For instance, if some corporation is planning' to open a new plant in the midwest, steps could be taken to open negotiations with this company and convince it that Kenosha is the place they're looking for.

I must confess I was highly apprehensive in undertaking a college level algebra course after an absence of more than 13 years from-the subject. One reason for this apprehension was a sincere dislike for math, in any form. Another reason was an imbed-ded fear of failure based on the only rememberable experience I had of algebra -my high school days. In those days, as I remember, algebra was unenjoy-able and very difficult for me; which also made algebra dull and boring for me. In contrast, Ms. Wilson has instilled in me, a challenge commensurate with my mathe-matical abilities and a pride in my accomplishments in her class. Due to Ms. Wilson's congenial attitude and enthu-siastic spirit, I have developed a keen interest in algebra. Ms. -Wilson's technical acu-men and concern for the individual makes her a credit and an asset to Parkside. To eliminate Ms. Wilson from the faculty of Parkside would be a disservice to the entire student body and the school.

I had Ms. Wilson for an instructor for Math 011 and 012, and I feel that in not renewing her contract you are making a grave error. Although this is my freshman year at Parkside and I have had few professors to compare her with, I think that I am qualified to make a personal judgement as far as student-teacher relationships are con-cerned. Math has never been one of my favorite subjects, but because I received a low score in the placement exam I had to start at the bottom and work my way up to college level. Ms. Wilson not only made the class interesting and enjoyable but also gave me a:, understanding of algebra, which I thought for me was unobtainable. Ms. Wilson was more than willing to offer her teaching services at anytime and also teok a personal interest in all of her students. Mr. Lowenthal, I doubt if you remember my name but I called you one day concerning this matter, at which time you told me that you had no decisive voice in this. You said that the final decision concerning the renewing of Ms. Wilson's contract would be up to Dean Ratner, vice chancellor. Unless · the situation has changed since the last time I spoke to you, you were either passing the buck or lying. It has been brought to my attention by Dean Ratrier's personnel that the final decision lies with you, and whatever support you can obtain from the executive committee. It is very hard for me to believe that a man of your status would let his personal feelings interfere with a judgement that affects so many people. Not only 1s Ms. Wilson entitled to a reasonable amount of time to ·prove her worthiness as a teacher, but the students at Parkside are also entitled to the best education thay can get considering the amount of tuition they pay. By not renewing Ms. Wilson's contract neither of these needs are bein~ fulfilled. Although there have been some petitions presented at your office, I have reason to believe that one petition· in particular is missing. For some unknown reason this petition cannot be found.
