MISAA Closes Gap For Funds Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document ¥ University of Wisconsin-Parkside Wednesday November 22.1978 vol.7 no.12 MISAA Closes Gop For Funds by Mike Murphy The Middle Income Student Assistance Act (MISAA), allowing for an increase and expansion of current Basic Grant awards was signed by President Carter November 1st. The new legislation, as passed by the 95th Congress, was praised by President Carter as an effort to e.'Dand educational opportunities throughout the country. Jan Ocker, director of Financial Aids at U.W. Parkside, felt that the newly -signed Assistance Act will go down as landmark legislation. MISAA, he said, will help students secure a college education who may not have been able to do so under current rises in tuition and living. Current Basic Grant Awards are generally restricted to students whose parents are within an income bracket of $5,000 a year or less. Under MISAA, not only would current Basic Grant Awards increase but the current program would also expand to include students from families whose incomes are between $5,000 and $25,000. For instance: in a general case, a student from a family of four with a $14,000 annual income with no unusual assets or expenses presently receives a $462 Basic Grant. Under MISAA the grant award would be increased to $1,158. A student from a family of four with a $20,000 annual income is presently ineligible to receive a Basic Educational Opportunity Grant, but could get a $700.00 grant under the new bill. The awards cpuld range anywhere from 0 to $1,800 with higher income levels receiving smaller grants. The Assistance Act will affect quite a few students in the Kenosha/Racine area. Upwards of 65 to 75 percent of present Wisconsin students, it is estimated, will be made eligible for a Basic Grant under this program. MISAA is actually one of two proposals submitted to Congress to relieve middle income families from college costs. The alternate proposal, the Tuition Tax Credit, would give families credit on income tax for those attending college. The credit could take the form of a tax deduction, direct credit, or an actual rebate. The Tuition Tax Credit proposal however, would benefit those in a higher income bracket more than middle class families. Those families who could afford a higher costing institution would receive a higher income tax credit since it is based tuition levels. The passing of MISAA was regarded as a major victory for the Carter administration. Besides aiding students of middle class families, MISAA will also affect single independent students, the Guaranteed Student Loan Program, and the current program of work study funds. Presently single independent students are not eligible for Basic Grant awards if they generate an incomes over $3,600. Under MISAA the income parameters should increase but the level is not known at this time. According to Ocker, a single independent student was expected to contribute more assets than a dependent student. Under the new MISAA program the assets of a single independent student will be assessed on an equal basis with that of a dependent student. MISAA also redefines the qualifications for the Guaranteed Student Loan Program. Presently the federal government will pay the interest on a Guaranteed Student Loan to a student with a family income of under $25,000. Under MISAA the $25,000 ceiling will be removed and no ceiling will be enforced. This will mean that any student carrying six credits or more can be eligible for a loan regardless of family income and the federal government will pay interest to the lending agency as long as the student is in school. The Financial Aids Office, which now handles approximately 150 loans a year, expects a tripling in loan applications as a result of this provision. The last important aspect of the MISAA bill will provide an increase in Supplemental Education Opportunity Grants and Federal College Work Study Program funds. The funds, according to Ocker, should increase funds available under the Federal Work Study Program, approximately 30% on a Chamber Symphony national and statewide basis although the eligibility criteria will remain the same. Presently, Congress has not appropriated enough money to fulfill the grant proposal for the 1979-80 academic year, but Ocker feels confident that supplemental funds will be allocated. Applications under the MISAA proposal will not be available until January 1, 1979, although the program will not take effect until Fall of '79. Because of the 16 weeks it takes to process applications, it is important for students to apply early, ideally between January and March. Fall Concert Dec.4 PSGA Questions SUFAC Procedures The University of WisconsinParkside Chamber Symphony will present its fall concert at 8 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 4, in the Communication Arts Theater under the direction of Harry Sturm. The program was originally scheduled for Dec. 5. The symphony will present Corelli's Theme and Variations, Mozart's Bin Musikalischer Spass (a musical joke in which the composer intentionally included wrong notes to "keep the audience on its toes"), Hindemith's Concertino Acht Stucke and Hoist's St. Paul's Suite. The program is free and open to the public. Teresa Naidicz (1717 27th St.), Kenosha, will be concertmistress and Debra Lanzen (S66W13415 Sarcyan Rd ), Hales Corners, will be co-concertmistress. Sturm, who also teaches applied cello students at UW-Parkside, conducted a Milwaukee Symphony concert during the past summer and was conductor and director of the Parksd Promenade Symphony of Milwaukee. by Mike Murphy the Segregated Fees Committee (S.U.F.A.C.), which completed its fourth meeting last Friday, is undergoind procedural scrutiny by the P.S.G.A. Senate. At the November 2nd meeting of the Segregated Fees committee, called by acting Chairman Rusty Smith, it was agreed to set preliminary budgets by a high/low averaging method. In the high/low averging method committee members are asked to submit individual budget levels. The high and the low budget levels are then eliminated and an average is taken of the remaining budgets. This number will then constitute the set Preliminary budget. At the November 9th meeting of S.U.F.A.C., however a move was made to abolish the high/low averaging method and have budgets set by motion. Under this procedure a budget level would be entered to the committee through a motion, by an individual member. The motion would then have to be seconded and voted on by the committee after a fifteen minute discussion. This method, as explained by Terry Zuehlsdorf, would help insure discussion on dividual budget proposals. The arguments made against the high low averaging method was that it could be easily subverted by, for example, having two committee members enter a zero which would affect the final averaging. Overall the method, by committee concensus, is not an accurate method of setting preliminary budgets. The motion method passed the committee, 5-4-0. On a November 13 meeting of the PSGA, however, a movement was passed not to accept the preliminary budgets set by the segregated fees committee under the motion method. Citing constitutional ruling, the Senate refused to accept budgets set under the motion procedure because the change in procedure was not approved by the Senate prior to the November 9th S.U.F.A.C. meeting. As a result, all budgets, not set by the high/low averaging method, will be have to be reset. The Senate actions met with considerable opposition. Jeff Prosko and Terry Zuehlsdorf questioned Rusty Smith's appointment stating that her position as president of the P.S.G.A. might tend to influence S.U.F.A.C. committee members. Zuehlsdorf made a motion to appeal Smith's appointment to the P.S.G.A. judiciary board but the motion was voted down. After 45 minutes of deliberSUFAC Committee at November 17 meeting ations a motion was finally made to request of the senate that they accept the budgets already set under the motion system with a friendly amendment to address all future preliminary budgets under the high/low ruling. As of this writing the motion still has to be presented for Senate approval and their reactions to the proposal is difficult to determine. If the Senate were not to accept the proposal the S.U.F.A.C. committee would be forced to reset preliminary budgets, perhaps setting them back a week. The preliminary budgets that have been set and excepted under the high/low procedure are P.S.G.A. at $3,720 (proposed $3,800), Union Debt Service at $105,500 (proposed $105,500), Student Activities Office at $13,697.50 (proposed $14,310), Student Health at $33,000 (proposed $34,246), Student Organizations Committee at $20,000 (proposed $22,000), Union Operations at $187,285 (proposed $194,400) Segregated Fees Committee at $500 (proposed $500.), Community Student Services at $6,060 (proposed $9,049) and Student Activities Building costs at $2,250 (proposed $2,850). News Briefs Dvorak Guests Thomas Dvorak, Director of the UW-Parkside bands, served as guest conductor and lecturer for the High School Honors Wind Ensemble in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this past weekend. The wind ensemble was composed of 42 of the best high school musicians from four states; Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota. This is the first year that a wind ensemble has been formed in the festival's 23 year existence. "I consider it a great honor to have been chosen as the first conductor of the wind ensemble," Dvorak said. "It's nice to be able to break the ice." Dvorak left Thursday afternoon in order to rehearse with the group Friday morning at Augustana College. He also had to prepare for a lecture entitled "High School Wind Ensembles" that he gave to the high school directors. But the highlight of his weekend was the wind ensemble's concert on Saturday. The ensemble performed Kurt Weill's Little Three Penny Music which the Parkside ensemble played during their last concert. They also played a series of fanfares and various other pieces. TAUWF Meets Last Thursday, November 16th, a meeting was held for Parkside faculty members to discuss their right to collective bargaining. The meeting, held in Union 104, was directed by delegates of the Association of University of Wisconsin Faculties (TAUWF) along with jim Shea, the Earth Science program coordinator here at Parkside. With only a slim turnout, those attending discussed the purpose of TAUWF, its current status within the UW system, and the effect of the recent election results. The main trust of the meeting, though, was to increase the number of Parkside faculty and staff members involved in the movement for the right to collective bargaining. It was also noted that Governor-elect Lee Dreyfus did not condemn the movement as previously announced by the Wisconsin Education Association Council/Political Action Committee (WEAC-PAC). Instead, he stated that the UW system faculty should have the right to decide whether or not they should be able to bargain collectively. GEM Cut Parkside has not been accepted in the nation wide project on General Education Models established by the Society for Values in higher Education. Chancellor Guskin submitted an application to participation in this project early this October. However, since only 12 to 16 schools were chosen from the whole nation any one school's chances of being accepted were not high. The project is aimed at examining and then attempting to improve the curriculum and educational goals of each member campus.

Pressure Check The Campus Health Office will sponsor its annual Blood Pressure Screening Clinic on the following dates and places: Monday, November 27, Union Bazaar, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Tuesday, November 28, WLLC, Middle Main, 10 a.mv. to 2 p.m.; Tuesday, November 28, Greenquist, Concourse, 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.; Wednesday, November 29, Greenquist, Concourse 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. The program is open to faculty, staff and students. High blood pressure is common, affecting 15 to 20 percent of adult Americans, or some 23 million people, and is a leading cause of stroke, heart disease and kidney disease. Treatment of high blood pressure reduces its dangers and in most people, it can be lowered and kept under control, which greatly reduces the risk of serious complications. High blood pressure usually causes no symptoms, so a pressure check is the only way to determine whether you have it. Meeting Time Set The Parkside Student Government Association, the people who represent the students at Parkside to the University on such business as students rights on academic matters, allocating funds for student activities such as running the Union, and discuss tuition increases with the administration, have set up a regular meeting time on Monday's at 3:15 p.m. in WLLC D-173. They meet every week at this time Without fail. Any student(s) with complaints or problems at Parkside concerning just about any issue dealing with their activities here should attend one of their meetings in order to have the matter looked into. This group is here to help the students, is composed of students and is supported by student funds. Use it. Jim Yanny — The legs. Ann Conrardy — The meat. Harlon D. Bennett — The drumstick.

Out of State Tuition Reduced The October 11th issue of Ranger featured a story on a plan to reduce tuition for out-of-state students attending the University of Wisconsin. The reduction would bring their tuition down to about 60% of the full price of instruction they now pay. The University has initiated a test period to examine the practicality of these plans. UW-Platteville has been selected as the test campus. Although Parkside was thought to be in the running for chosen because it is an under used campus. It has enough for about 1500 students. The test period will last two years before a go ahead will be given for other campuses to offer the tuition reduction. Parkside is thought to be in a perfect situation for this type of plan because of its nearness to N.W. Illinois. Parkside is the most available 4 year college to the 400,00 people living in this area but the approximately $2,700 in tuition that they currently must pav each year to °«« nancf full from enrollfrig"He?^; &'• room more the out-of-state reduction plan goes through the tuition here would be reduced to about $1,600 a year. The administration expects that this change would attract enough students to bring Parkside up to its full capacity (about 6,000). Also the influx of tuition would make more segregated fees monies available for student activities. Basically this plan would be a very healthy shot in the arm for the Parkside community. 22,1978 RANGER 3 To The Editor Concern Over SUFAC To the Editor: As a student concerned with the way my tuition monies are spent, I wish to raise a point to those students unable or uninterested in attending the meetings of the Segregated University Fees Allocations Committee. This student committee allocates each year $120.00 of your tuition (for a full time student from yearly tuition) to all non-academic student areas (Health Office, Athletics, P.A.B., Student Organizations, etc.). Each year budgets are submitted these areas for the amount of Seg. Fee support they feel they will need for the next fiscal year. For example, Student Organization Council requested an allocation of $20,000.00 for the fiscal year 1978-79 and was allocated $18,250.00. This year they are requesting $22,000.00, without any idea how much money remains in the S.O.C.'s budget as a whole or in the budgets of the individual student organizations. The proposed allocation is based on no solid background. Fewer than half of the thirty-six clubs, we were told, submitted briefs on the amount of money they need for the 1979-80 fiscal year. With this number of clubs reporting, despite the S.O.C. chairman's lightly veiled threats of nonfunding if a brief was not presented, S.O.C. increased it's request by $3,750.00, more than a 20% increase of what they received in funds last year. It appears that few clubs even attempt to generate revenue. In the budget proposal submitted to the S.U.F.A.C., S.O.C. proposed that all together the organizations intend to raise (hopefully) three thousand dollars this year or almost $150.00 per club. This sounds great, until you realize that the remaining portion of their budgets come from your pocket and that non-members pay the same amount that members do. Only one student club requires it's members to pay dues (Wargamers) (Co-operative Services Collective charges a membership fee annually producing approximately $6,000.00. Those who use C.S.C. pay for C.S.C.). Why is there no major fund raising effort oh th^ part of these clubs? Possibly every member has too many classes, too much home work, has a job or two, works at home and is just to strapped for cash to put a dollar or two toward dues in a club that interests him. I just do not believe that! It seems that as long as a free ride is available, why not take it? 1 I'm not saying that student organizations should not be supported by segregated fee monies, but rather that a limit should be put on that support. If 50 or 100 dollars were set aside for each club as initial support to contact potential members and as seed money, to invest, to raise money toward group activities. At best, this could bring tuition down four dollars a year, but it also would produce an enormous quantity of on campus student activities. Clubs, for the first time, would be forced to make themselves known on campus and in the community, increasing interest not only their club and projects but in Parkside as a whole. Crants are available from area manufacturers and businesses, if they are approached. But, students avoid going to the community for funds so, as more money is needed by Student Groups, tuition rises for us all. The case is raised that with out the level of support available to student groups, student involvement would fall into oblivion. I can not and do not believe that the student body on this campus is that uninvolved, but if their hand must be forced by removing a dole then let the S.U.F.A.C. make that move and bring our student costs down if only a little. It would be well worth the result. Sincerely, Mary A. Mortl Clones Take Over by Larry Weaver The lack of individuality here is so apparent that I see what I call the Parkside Clones running all over the school by the thousands. I wonder why they all try that way of life? I see it more in the women than the men. I have nothing against them following styles or self-pride but they really over do it. There is a tacky look about them, like they just came out of a disco. The guys don't act much better. Many of them try to be a cross between John Travolta and Bruce Jenner.

This school is so bland compared to the other colleges I've seen. That's what is so interesting about college, doing your own thing. Here everyone is trying to outdress each other. I think the problem is too many teeny-boppers never left mom and dad long enough to see what's on the other side of the disco. It seems that the only difference between Parkside and a high school is that you can smoke in the halls. The living end was when I heard that my teacher required a seating chart (in college?). All this plus the Parkside Clones is too much! I was surprised to read an outrageous story in the Ranger about people bringing beer and other substances into the Union Cinema. A real student would either mind ones business or don't go. A better student would have enough stelthsic not to get caught or use non-breakable bottles. I find spiking cokes is the best technique. Back to my point. If Parkside had dorms etc. that would give this institution of higher learning a permanant lifeblood. Instead it's a big high school with many of the students still tied to mothers apron strings (don't forget to be in by 10. ..). Maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I should get into the jive and practice my bump in front of the mirror. So the next time you'see one of the Parkside Clones it might be me. See you at the disco, snap, snap, snap.

Wednesday November 22,1978 RANGIR Gary Ophala Lectures Industrial Psych. by John Stewart When a student selects an area of study to major in, his next decision concerns what he should do with his degree and what career he should pursue: Everyone, of course, has to answer these questions for themselves but some aid can be offered. And this is the purpose of the Industrial Psychology Croup. Composed of Psychology students from the Industrial Psychology concentration and Business students double majoring in Psychology, it is academically and career oriented toward aiding the student. The coordinator is Professor Geula Lowenberg, Greenquist 314. According to an American Psychological Association Pamphlet, Industrial Psychology focuses on the problems that people encounter at work. Solving these problems aids the individual employee and therefore the company as a whole. The various roles of an Industrial Psychologist in an organization, include: 1) making adjustments in the way work is organized to improve productivity. 2) working with management and employees on training programs to develop employee potential. 3) or use scientific techniques to measure employee morale. The results of such a study could have implications for the entire structure of an organization in the pursuit of better morale. Another major sub-field within _JT Industrial Psychology is Personnel Psychology which focuses more specifically on the selection and assignment of personnel to enhance job satisfaction and productivity. The program at Parkside is one of four concentrations within the Psychology discipline and features a "hands on" externship with area companies. However, to aid Industrial Psychology (I.P.) students with their career decisions the I.P. Group has begun a series of gatherings to inform students about their prospective job markets and the types of jobs available to them. Last Wednesday, Gary Opahla, the Personnel- Manager of General Thermal Dynamics, a fast growing company in Milwaukee, and a graduate of the I.P. program (75) came to speak at an I.P C meeting. Gary described how he had worked with two other organizations before coming to General Thermal Dynamics. He said that HEILt MAN'S m Pure Brewed From God's Country. On Tap At U nion Square fljVurpbY ft he' left these organizations because of little room for promotion in each. However, he said that he feels that these two jobs game him valuable background and experience. Hired on the advice of a consultant that his company had brought in to examine a management/employee dispute, Gary had to develop the Personnel program at General Thermal Dynamics from scratch. Gary stressed that the I.P. program, and especially the Externship training he had received at Johnson's Wax in Racine, through the IP. program, had prepared him very well for his work. He also stressed that it is this type of experience that employers look for. Gary explained that the unique mixture of skills that the I.P. graduate has to offer gives him or her an edge over straight Business Administration or Communication graduates, that Gary has usually had to compete with in his particular field of Personnel work. This work would seem to follow since Gary characterized his work as very delicate: "getting close enough to the employee to discuss issues but still remain a representative of management." The meeting also went on to discuss the interests of the I.P. students there and the individual student's career goals. Furthermore, the group plans to join a professional organization in their field called PIRA or Personnel and Industrial Relations Associations of Wisconsin. It would appear that the Industrial Psychology Group is making important efforts to help its members with their futures. I.P. is a relatively new field with only four schools in the U.S. offering Ph.D.'s in it. However, it has a bright future. Likewise, the students in the Industrial Psychology Group have a promising future as they take the first steps toward planning and achieving what they want from their careers.

Deadline for applications for next summer's camps is Feb 15,1979. OCA is a non-profit, nongovernmental community development organization. The area representative for OCA is Chris Saudek, a University of Wisconsin-Parkside faculty member who served two years in the Peace torps in Zaire, Central Africa, and has since returned as the leader of an Operations Crossroads group to Togo, West Africa. The OCA subsidizes the people who are interested in participating to the tune of $1100. However, the individual must come up with $1700 to cover the remainder of the expensives, which include travel costs to Africa from New York and back, and living expenses while in Africa. The task of raising this amount is an integral part of the Crossroads program. Crossroads succeeds in helping 90% of the accepted applicants raise the necessary money through fund raising activities and the like. During the past 21 years OCA has sent more than 5,000 American students to 34 African countries to spend two months living with, working with and sharing the daily lives of village communities. The experience is unique for every participant but for most the process will create a fuller awareness of one's values, goals and abilities. The organization is dedicated to human growth; the growth of persons, communications and nations. A participant is generally involved in some kind of development program usually involving physical work four to six hours a day. Volunteers work with 8 to 10 other Americans and an equal number of Africans toward building a school, medical dispensary, health clinic or community center. Chris's group helped to build a water storage facility for a youth center between two villages in southern Togo. Crossroads is'. interested in increasing communications between persons of different nationalities, races, religions, and cultures.* The personal contact is riot* only with traditional and modern African life but also with a diverse group of Americans. The Americans in each group come for different regional, racial cultural and intellectual backgrounds. The diversity among the American members as well as the experience in communal living provides a good opportunity for learning and personal growth. Crossroads also sponsors some specialized programs in Africa, in agriculture, ethno-musicology, archaeology, health education, journalism and media. There are also summer workcamps in the West Indies open to high school students. Persons wishing additional information on the programs can contact Chris at 1440 Main St., Racine (632-5477) or write to Operation Crossroads Africa, Inc., 150 Fifth Avenue, New York, N Y. 10011. PLATO Teaches Again PRINCETON, N.J. - College teachers maintain essential roles in educating students even when computers are used in classroom instruction, studies by Educational Testing Service (ETS) have found. Two evaluations conducted by ETS at the community college level also demonstrated that while computer systems designed to teach students that have not reached the stature often claimed for them, the potential remains for their continued development and application. Both evaluations were sponsored by the National Science Foundation. One of the computer-assisted instruction systems examined, TICCIT (Time-Shared, Interactive, Computer-Controlled Information Television), was devised to provide a complete and independent alternative to entire college courses in selected subjects, allowing students to exercise control over the pace and sequence of their lessons. The PLATO (Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations) systems was created to fit into a regular teachermanaged study program and supplement college course work. In the demonstration of PLATO evaluated, the system accounted for less than one-third of total class instruction. In an evaluation directed by Donald L. Alderman of ETS, TICCIT was found to have had a positive impact on student achievement. Students able to complete a course using TICCIT generally attained higher posttest scores, particularly in mathematics, than those reached by similar students using common teaching practices. Higher achievement in courses given on the TICCIT system was especially evident among students with a strong initial grasp of the subject. The study also found that TICCIT had a negative effect on the likelihood that a student would complete all requirements for course credit during a single academic term. For example, in mathematics courses at one of the colleges only 16 of every 100 pupils enrolled received a grade with credit during an academic term, compared to an average of 50 percent for lecture classes. When the subject matter lent itself to active teacher participation, such as in reviewing essays or discussing themes, the gap in completion rates between TICCIT and lecture classes closed. TERRACE ROOM 486 LAKE AVE presents: Wednesday and Thursday RACINE MONTAGE better than three in five believed PLATO was beneficial to student-student and studentinstructor interactions. A critical factor that accounted for PLATO'S high acceptance and usage was the control the teachers had over the system. Each instructor determined how much his students would use it and for what lessons it would be available. PLATO is a large educational computing network developed at the Computer-based Educational Research Laboratory in Urbana, III. The display screen for a PLATO terminal is a panel that can provide simple repetitive skills to give students practice in basic concepts, or relay graphics to illustrate principales in the physical sciences and simulate laboratory experiments. Input is channeled through a typewriterlike keyboard. Developed by the MITRE Corporation, TICCIT combines minicomputers and television receivers in its instructional system. The terminal is a color television set modified to accept digital computer signals and translate them into display frames. Students use an electronic keyboard that accompanies the television receivers to communicate with the computer system. In the Plato evaluation, lessons were computerized and integrated into some accounting, biology, chemistry, English and mathematics courses at five Illinois community colleges. More than 8,000 students, participated in this study. The TICCIT evaluation involved over 5,000 students in nearly 200 sections of certain algebra and English composition courses at two community colleges, one each in Arizona and Virginia. Student attitudes toward TICCIT were more often less favorable than toward conventional teaching methods, but when English classes taught on the TICCIT system were supplemented by small group discussion with an instructor, attitudes improved over those expressed for lecture-discussion classes. ET's Richard T. Murphy, who directed the PLATO evaluation, and Lola Rhea Appel found no consistent positive or negative effects on student achievement or attrition — the drop-out rate — that could be linked to PLATO's use. The study determined, however, that PLATO provided a medium of instruction with broad appeal to both students and teachers. In fact, PLATO students showed more favorable attitudes toward computers and computer-assisted instruction than non-PLATO students. About half the students thought that course material presented by PLATO helped them learn better than course material presented in class lectures. Large majorities (70 percent to 90 percent) said they continued their instruction on PLATO beyond the end of class, felt PLATO made good use of examples and illustrations, believed they could make mistakes without embarrassment and could take part in their instruction at each step in the lessons, and expressed a desire to take other PLATO courses. Observers found that students were attentive to their work, relaxed and enthusiastic, neither confused nor frustrated, and able to use PLATO terminals easily. More than 80 percent of the teachers surveyed said PLATO had a positive effect on student attitudes and achievement, and FOR R ESERVED S EATING CALL 632-4206 entertainment 9 p.m. "JAZZ SO GOOD" lb «t 19 1°" GOOD .. .he 8 I.» KAOM r-t „vak<" MON-FRI CO* 11-2 10% OFF ALL PARKSIDE STUDENTS, FACULTY A*D | STAFF WILL RECEIVE 10% OFF ON ALL REGULARLY PRICE MENU ITEMS WITH PROPER PARKSIDE IDENTIFICATION.

Dramatic production numbers such as "The Collegiate Medley," "Television Theme Songs" and "Can't Stop Dancin'" are also featured in the show. The group of 24 performers, backed by an instrumental combo, was selected from nearly 200 on-campus auditions representing the finest student talent at UW-Madison. Three of the Singers are from Kenosha: Dave Chase, Teri Sorenson and Trez Tianen. As in former years, the Wisconsin Singers are affiliated with the Wisconsin Alumni Association. Their primary purpose is helping local alumni clubs and interested groups raise money for UW-Madison scholarships. They have performed throughout the United States, including special appearances at Disney World in 1978 and the White House in 1976 and 1977, and were recognized as the outstanding college student relations program in 1976.

UWM Takes First by Peter Jacket UW-Milwaukee won the 12 team Ranger Relays hosted by Parkside last November 17 basically on the strength of their diving performances while the Rangers finished in 12th place. Coach Barb Lawson anticipated UWM to be a strong challenger in the Relays but figured last years winner, Illinois-Chicago Circle for the top position. Circle could do no better than a 3rd place finish however, behind UWM and UW-Stevens Point. Parkside managed an 8th place finish in the 450 yard breaststroke relay featuring the combined talents of Debbie Erickson, who swam 50 yards in the relay, Jim Walker (100 yards), Lowrie Melotik (100 yards), and Chris Wtipil (200 yards). In the diving relay, the Ranger posted a 9th place finish on the efforts of Ann Corardy and Mark Rosandich while the 400 y, medley relay team of / American Jim Ferraro, Meloi Rick Lopes, and Lili Crnich tc 11th place.

Wednesday BANGER November 22,1978 Here s the scene early in the 23rd annual NAIA championship race at UW-Parkside Saturday Photos by P.J.Azasolina Kickers Miss Goal by Doug Edenhauser Sports Editor To cap off a frustrating season, Goach Hal Henderson's men's soccer team lost a frustrating game to the College of St. Thomas of St. Paul, Minnesota, by a score of 4-0. St. Thomas, who improved their record to 16-1-2, dependeJ on the scoring of senior Rueben Pedro' of Brazil for the first two deceive goals. The first half was very evenly played as it ended with St. Thomas leading 1-0. Henderson mentioned that two missed chances by Parkside in the first half could have turned things around in favor of the Rangers. Pedrosa'^ second goal of the game came just seven minutes into the second half and left the Rangers stunned. "After the second goal our kid s just gave up. We wanted to keep the ball on the outside and away from Rueben but most of the game was played in the middle of the field." A statistic that showed the actual evenness of the game was the number of shots in the second half. St. Thomas got only five shots off in the half although two of the first three shots went into the net. It was at that point that the Rangers just quit running and seemed like they wanted to go home. In that perilous second half the Rangers only managed to get off one shot on goal. Henderson is encouraged for next year as he hopes to correct this years problem of having no depth. A few breaks here and there and the Rangers could have improved on their dismal record of 4-9-4. The 1978 NAIA District 14 soccer team was announced last week with the Rangers placing five men on the eleven man first team and two on honorable mention. Senior Dan Brieschke was selected as goalkeeper. Junior Lee Cielonko and Freshman John Momoima of Kenya made the team as forwards and Freshman Walt Tyshynsky and junior Niall Power of Waterford, Ireland, made the team as backs. Freshman Claude Cielonko and junior Earl Campbell were awarded with honorable mention.

Wednesday November 22,1978 RANGER Basketball Season Opens Soon by DV DoiIC Doug Edenhauser FriAnKaucA* I..UU -r- r ® Sports Editor After four straight NA1A district 14 championships you may ask the question 'When are the Rangers going to win it all?' Well folks this may be the year that Parkside goes on to win the NAIA National Championship that takes place in Kansas City next year. In an exhibition match against the Argentine National team the Rangers showed their awesome height and the power they have by easily defeating the visitors by a score of 81-63. Coach Steve Stevens was free to get each one of his players into the lineup and get a little playing experience in before the season starts. The Argentines were no match for the tall Ranger Lineup as three top competitors for the visitors were out of the lineup with injuries. Top scorer for both teams was Aigentine's 6 foot 1 inch Horacio Desavado who had 34 points. Nobody else on the squad had more than 8 points. The leading rebounder for the Argentines was little 5 foot 8 inch Alejandro Dilenque who had 8 rebounds, as the Rangers out rebounded their opponents 59 to 41. Seven foot junior Lester Thompson led the Rangers with 15 boards. This years team has four of last years starters returning, although Steven says that at the moment he has eight starters. The four returning starters are 6-7 forward Marvin Chones, 6-4 guard Joe Foots, 6-7 forward Jerry Luckett and 6-8 center-forward Lonnie Lewis. Lewis started at the center position last year but with Lester Thompson ripening into form Lewis will start at the forward position. Chones, a senior this year from Racine St. Catherines, led the Rangers in scoring last year with an average of 13.5 points per game and also pulled down 6.3 rebounds a game. Foots, also a senior from St. Catherines, will have to take over the leadership role for the Rangers that was previously held by the departed Stevie King. Joe averaged 10.4 points a game last season. Letterwinners back from last years squad are expected to fill in well when needed. Reggie Anderson, a 6-5 sophomore from Gage Park High School in Chicago averaging 9.6 points last year as a forward, will move to the guard spot this year with a good possibility of making the starting lineup. Senior Alex Jennings from Case, sophomore Walter Greene from Chicago and sophomore Michael Watley, all guards, complete the list of returning men. By the looks of the list of newcomers to this years team coach Stevens is obviously trying to recruit new talent , into the lineup for the years to come. Heading that list is Kent Schneider, a husky 230 pound 6-7 forward-center from Mason City Illinois. He is expected to add muscle to strengthen the Rangers inside game. Other rookies include 5-10 Dave McLeish a play making guard from Stoughton, Wisconsin; James Fleming, a 6-2 guard who is a junior college transfer from Lincoln College; 6-2 freshman guard Tony Clark from Case; 6-5 frosh forward Lanzy Meeks, also from Case, and 6-2 junior guard Ernest Williams from Chicago. Meeks and Williams will gain eligibility at the start of the spring semester. The Rangers will start the season this Friday against a tough UW-LaCrosse team that beat the Rangers at LaCrosse last season. Parkside hopes to improve on last years record of 19-11 although the schedule they have to face is no piece of cake. After two home games to open the season this weekend the Rangers will travel to California for a gruesome three game series opening with a match against Cal State-Fullerton, a team that made it to the final eight in the NCAA national tournament last year. That trip will include stops at San Diego State and Fresno State. Exciting basketball is on hand for all those who come out to the games. With a little more fan support our team might make it all the way this year so come on out and have some fun. ;f#»e farkside Racers ^front row, Iteft rigfct) Manager; ban Dagnef, Jaml* $eming, Michael efeley, Walter Gqeene, Alex J&inings, Tody Clark, Dave McLeish, manager Paul Charapata (Back row, left to right) HfaM coach Steve Stephens, Assistant Coach Rudy Collum, Ernest Williams, Reginald Anderson, Jerry Luckett, Lester Thompson, Kent Schneider Marvin Chones, Lanzy Meeks, Joe Foots, Trainer Hal Henderson. Wednesday November 22,1978 RANGER 10 Scarf Is Coming Home Scajif by Scarf O'toole As you may remember, I have been incarcerated and am feeling the severity of prison life. (I wish I was a blues singer; then I could at least make a few bucks off of my own troubles). So, I decided that before I became Pablo's supper, my overly-friendly cellmate, I would, in the words of the famous song, "Hit the trail and I'm gone for good." The plan was given to me by an old jailbird by the name of Murphy. It was so diabolical, that I suggested when he gets out of prison to get a job working with a newspaper. Anyway, I got a large carton from the prison laundry, wrapped myself up and mailed myself out. I addressed the package to my editor. Well, I arrived this morning, disguised as some literature from Peep Show Publications; I figured it would be the only way I could get my editor to spring for the postage. He was a little disappointed, however, when he opened up the package expecting The Whip Lady Meets King Kong and getting me instead. So, anyway, I'm in hiding somewhere at old P.V. and I need help. I'm asking you readers to write to me c/o the Ranger, so that I can get myself a good lawyer and beat this rap. Since I've been gone my mail has been piling up on other people's desks, two and three feet deep. Apparently, after my arrest and subsequent sentence, the Ranger gave up on me. The fact that I didn't miss a single deadline during all the weeks that I was gone was apparently ignored by the editorial staff completely. For my part I think that the future of this paper is dark and foreboding. When a column dealing with important issues and real people (like this one) is blatantly suppressed in this fashion, one can only shake one's head sadly. How can a few charges of assault and disturbing the peace stand in the way of freedom of thought and the pursuit of happiness? After my prison stay I think this column will be better than ever. It should improve significantly if only for the reason that no one knows how long I shall be out of the joint to write it. (The suspense is killing me.) As for insights on Parkside, I would like to draw your attention to the letter to the editor this week by one Larry Weaver concerning the clones here. Larry criticizes certain people at Parkside for their lack of gray matter and their crass taste in apparel. Larry, all I have to say is that even if you are right and you are one of the few sane people on this campus, surrounded by idiots, think of all the pigeons this group constitutes for any money-making scams that you can come up with. Cutting mobiles out of double-knit material for people's bedrooms is just one suggestion.) In the immortal words of W.C. Fields, "Never give a sucker an even break." In the cob-web covered words of the Flim-Flam Man, "You can't cheat an honest man." And if you do, buy him a drink. By the way, this leads me back to opening my mail and tasting the free sample bottles I've received from the distilleries. Until next week or when I run out of mixer: "Please release me let me go, For I don't need another lover!" •••••••••• •••*•*••••••*•••••••••••••*•******* ••***•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• •••••*•••• Grateful Dead Alive in Chicago by Terry A.

The Chicago concert was no exception. As soon as t he Dead arrived in town, things began to get strange. When one goes to a Dead concert he is tempted to pay attention to the audience rather than the band. Dead audiences tend to staunchly remain tied to the obsolete sensibilities of the late sixties. There is much denim, lots of "good-vibes", lots of starry-eyed women with frizzed out hair and peasant dresses, and most important, lots of herbal medication wafting through the auditorium. The crowd is loose and friendly, spontaneous and irreverent, in the sense that they tend to disregard the conventions which we seem to have slipped into in these perma-press seventies. The Grateful Dead have no real visual show. In fact, sometimes they seem oblivious to their audience. They play to them but at the same time manage not to be cognizant of their presence. At the same time no band can take command of an audience and control its moods like the Dead. The Dead in the last couple of years have taken to playing small auditoriums on multiple nights. Therefore it is often useful to see how on any given night of a Dead stand the music assumes a unique character. The Thursday show illustrated this. The Dead played a set of fast rockers which captured the boogie instincts of the crowd. But, when the band came back for its second set of the evening, the space-jam stance of the group emerged. The Dead have been known to play marathon sets where the musical selections are woven into a mesh of stylistic changes and inventive free form structures that make each jam unique in its own right. Sometimes this can turn into a self-indulgent exercise of the COMING SOON... TO THE PARKSIDE UNION FIRSTNArT A R Lu B sr RACINE time. 3Ws OHTb linn annp OHlb 1100 0130 - SUSAN CUSTOMER EXP.

The Dead are America's longest sustaining major act. They've been perfecting this show for thirteen years. But to do something that extended means peaks and valleys in the performance. Four years ago they took time off to re-evaluate their performance as a musical attraction. They emerged three years ago charged with enough fuel to take them this far. Their recent performances by the pyramids in Egypt seems to have recharge them again. The jam Thursday night settled into a long Eastern influenced piece highlighted by the evocative percussion antics of Dead drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kruetzman. However, the Dead did engage in some inspired boogie. After the long, spacey Egyptian excurrsion, the jam sequed into "Black Peter", a blues piece from Workingman's Dead. Then into the anthem of sixties freedom, "Truckin'." On this last track bassist Phil Lesh joined in on vocal harmony; something he has rarely done since the addition of Donna Godcheaux as vocalist in 1972. All told, the Dead performed for about three hours, offering much music representative of their long career. The Grateful Dead may seem to be a bit of an anachronism in the seventies: They do not typify the kinds of behavior one expects from other bands who have emerged from the same school of music. They are anarchic, loose, experimental, daring. They challenge the borders of their music. Blending old sources with new and coming up with a sound that is engaging and spontaneous is the magic or the Grateful Dead. See them sometime and do yourself a favor. Wednesday November 22,1978 Record RANGER 11 Capt. Beefheart by John Stewart "With twinkling lights 'n green sashes drawn by rubber dolphins With Gold yawning mouths that blister 'n break in agony" -from "Bat Chain Puller" If this sounds interesting to you then somehow get a listen to Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band's new release, Shiny Beast. I read a description of his music recently which referred to it as furturistic blues rock. This is an appropriate term except that his music is futuristic only in terms of its effect and not in terms of instruments or theatrics. Its basis is in the blues first and foremost. The Captain (real name Don Van Vliet) is from California and started making rock and roll albums in the early 1%0's. In a Rolling Stone interview with him I remember reading a few years ago, he was said to be one of the greatest potential blues singers that ever lived. But in the 60's and 70's it seems that Captain Beefheart wants to offer us the "ultra-violet" rather than "de blues." In his time, the Captain and the various Magic Bands he has formed, have dressed in rags, women's rags, tin pans and even tuxedos. Today the stress does not seem to be on appearance. Captain Beefheart is content to write, sing, make music and make magic pictures with his Magic Markers. The last two albums that Captain Beefheart released (in '75 and '76) were trashy imitations of his former glory. Shiny Beast, however, is back on the right track with fresh songs and very professional performances. The band is made up of six musicians featuring slide guitar, spell guitar, air bass, piano, drums and marimba. The songs include two instrumentals, one poem, two Latin flavored songs and 6 futurisitic blues-rock numbers and a slow twenties type ballad called "Harry Irene." Although some may classify Captain Beefheart with Frank Zappa, and they certainly have associated in the past, the Captain marches to the beat of a different drummer. In fact, his drummer plays with his feet The point of Captain Beefheart's music, (if I may get obtuse for a second) swings around in back of itself and creates a never ending cycle of syncopation: "Bat Chain Puller, Puller, Puller, Bat Chain Puller!" He means to disorient and yet to instruct. My own first impressions of his music was "Oh my God, turn it off, let me out of here!" However, I eventually came to understand that his music is directly related, to the. roots of rhythm and blues. His Spot Light Kid record is a fantastic blues recording. However I think that Captain Beefheart's message is meant to appeal to our sense of "Now!" and not to our sense of nostalgia or history. In his own words, "I think people have had too much time to think and out to flex their magic muscles." For those interested, Captain Beefheart may be on tour in this area as he is currently playing at the Bottom Line Club in New York City. Keep your eyes and mind open!
