UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document W University of Wisconsin - Parkside PSGA election Grievance filed PSGA Presidential hopefuls talk by 7 .Ipff Jeff Wirlfc Wicks Students had a chance to see and hear the PSGA presidential candidates for this year's elections Monday afternoon when The Ranger sponsored a presidential forum in mid - Main Place. Approximately 100 people attended the event, which was moderated by the Ranger Editor, Ken Meyer. Each of the four candidates made a speech first, with a question session afterward. The first person to speak was Mike Axelson, a write - in candidate. Axelson spoke about the "basic problem" of student apathy, and stressed more student responsibility and awareness in student government. "It is the problem of apathy that I have tried to find a solution to;" he said. "I am aware of the other issues that confront us at Parkside, but I feel that the number one problem is apathy," he said. Next to speak was Jim Kreuser, the incumbant who is running for a second term. Kreuser pointed out major achievements of his past performance as President, including the pad outside the Union being extended and fenced in. "My biggest concern was our biggest tradition, The End," he said. "There was a possibility of limiting it, and this, at least in the short run, will not limit The End." Kreuser also mentioned the first United Council meeting ever held at Parkside in June, and the fact that a new bookstore company was unanimously decided to take over for next fall. "I've been to many University Committees, and I believe all the Faculty Senate meetings, and I have a good rapport with them (faculty), and they are really willing to listen to students' concerns. I'm sorry to say that my colleagues Jim Bearden by Ken Meyer Editor PSGA presidential candidate Phil Pogreba filed an official grievance with the Elections Committee Monday against fellow candidate, current PSGA President Jim Kreuser. The following is the text of Pogreba's grievance letter to the committee: "On Sunday, Feb. 28 at approximately 10:40 p. m. four members of my campaign committee and myself entered the building with the intent to put up posters. As we were unrolling posters and getting organized to put them up a security guard came up to us and said we had to leave the building. While we were putting the posters away the security guard stayed and watched us. While I was in the office putting the posters away the security guard was telling Kathy, one of my campaign committee chairs, that personally he didn't care if we put them up but that 'he' called and that he wanted us out of the building. When asked who 'he' was he replied, Jim Kreuser, who was working in the Union building. He then went on to say that he didn't know much of what was going on in student government but that he knew Jim personally and that Jim had done personal favors for him in the past. "When I returned to school the next day there were posters of Mr. Kreuser's up that hadn't been there the night before. When I got to the PSGA office I learned that Mr. Kreuser had stayed in the building all night. "There are a few questions I would like to ask. First of all, what was Mr. Kreuser's jurisdiction in buildings other than the Union building? What is the policy for university employees showing favoritism for PSGA candidates? How trustworthy is a security guard that performs favors for favors? If a rule exists for one party, does it not apply to another or are some people above the law? "I trust there will be an investigation into this matter so it can be resolved quickly." Pogreba and Kreuser met with Dean of Student Life Dave Pedersen Monday to discuss the issue. Pedersen will investigate Pogreba's complaint by talking to Director of Campus Security Ronald Brinkman about the policy concerning students in the building after hours. The campus used to close at midnight on Sundays, but was changed to 10:30 p. m. almost a year ago, Brinkman told Ranger. Signs posted by the doorways give Continued On Page Seven Photo by Masood Shafiq ^ MEYER (far left) moderates forum with the four PSGA presidential candidates (from I. to r Mike Axelson, Jim Kreuser, Loretta Lacy and Phil Pogreba). Pogreba wins presidential poll have not been to any of these," Kreuser said. The third candidate, Loretta Lacy spoke next, saying that if elected, she would address "the issues that concern every student at Parkside, as well as students at every University in Wisconsin." Lacy stated that she would attack the rising tuition and book costs, and oversee the new bookstore's intitial operation. She also stressed the need for a book rental system which she would also seek to be installed on campus. "At the present time, I don't feel that the Parkside Student Government is being run to its fullest capacity. I don't feel the present administration really realizes how much power it has," Lacy said. Lacy also stressed the need for more parking spaces and adequate lighting in the parking lot. The last candidate to speak was Phil Pogreba, who is currently President Pro Tempore of the Senate. "By working with the Senate over the year, I've learned the organizational structure of PSGA and how it works," he said. "The Senate has made great strides this year in making sure that the students' voices are heard on issues that affect them. What I'd like the Senate to do over the next year is strengthen the ground they covered. Get the procedures used to achieve those goals down to an art so that from now on it will be routine," Pogreba said. Pogreba denounced student apathy and said that if elected, he would help to create more "unity among the students". A random survey was conducted Monday concerning the PSGA presidential election concluding today (Thursday). Seventy - five students (38 female and 37 male) were randomly selected and asked the following question: "I'm taking an independent survey or poll — out of the four students running for PSGA president, which are you planning to vote for?" Phil Pogreba received 34 vot es, Jim Kreuser 20, Loretta Lacy 17 and Mike Axelson four. Out of the students asked, 35 attended the presidential forum held Monday afternoon and 40 did not. Students who answered that they did not intend to vote were not included in the survey. Remember that this was only a random survey, thus the results were not scientificaly derived. The renewal criteria: Nonrenewal decision discussed by Ken Meyer Editor On March 4 the PSGA Senate heard information about Sociology instructor Jim Bearden's nonrenewal of contract from a student representing a student group protesting the nonrenewal decision. A group of about 12 students have been working for the past few weeks trying to bring the issue out in the open, hoping for support to reverse the decision not to renew Bearden's contract. The group of students have collected over 200 signatures on a petition and held a rally yesterday in support of Bearden. Sue Larsen, Vice - President of the Sociology Club, addressed the Senate last week, saying "We're doing as much as we can and support from the student government would be more than welcome." This was the first time the issue was brought up to the Senate, so no action was taken. PSGA Senator Mike Pfaffl said, "I think that as representatives of the students at Parkside, we have an important stake here. Myself, I feel if certain people and ideas are kept off an organization on campus, it will affect many other students." Larsen read to the Senate a letter Bearden received from Vice Chancellor / Dean of Faculty Lorman Ratner stating the reasons for the decision not to renew Bearden's contract. The nonrenewal decision came from the Executive Committee of the Behavorial Science Division, made up of senior faculty members within the division. Ratner's letter, dated Feb. 18, stated: "The reason for this recommendation has to do with Mr. Bearden's record and program of research and scholarly activity. The committee was not satisfied with Mr. Bearden's progress in producing the quality research expected of a faculty member in his discipline." "Mr. Bearden's teaching activities were evaluated as good and were not a factor in the nonrenewal recommendation. His service activities were seen as adequate to date and were also not a factor in the nonrenewal recommendation." "On balance, the Committee was unable to give Mr. Bearden an endorsement of the kind that would warrant a positive recommendation for contract renewal." JIM BEARDEN Larsen said, "Nonrenewal of a contract is very rarely done on this campus — even more rare when it's a new faculty member like Jim Bearden, who has only been here a year and a half." Larsen called the committee's decision on the basis of inadequate research "pretty rediculous because of the fact that he's been here a year and a half and just finished his Ph.D. No one . . . can publish a book while working on their dissertation." Continued On Page Two The following is the criteria for renewal of faculty appointments and granting tenure, according to UWPF 6.07. Faculty appointments may be granted only upon the recommendation of the executive committee of an academic division and the chancellor. An academic division executive committee shall forward its recommendations for certain appointments or promotions directly to the Personnel Review Committee.

Every recommendation for renewal or granting of tenure shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth the evaluations in each area on which the recommendation is based. (b) Teaching Definition — Teaching includes any activity related to course development, course presentation, course related interaction with students, evaluation of student progress, tutoring, advising, and to other learning services required by students. Evaluation — The source of information regarding the quality of teaching shall be student course evaluations conducted each fall and spring semester. A faculty member shall be afforded opportunity to present other evidence regarding teaching quality such as reading lists, course outlines, innovations, samples of student work, reports of colleague observers, participation in teaching improvement workshops, video tapes of presentations, and impact on former students. Evidence from all of the above sources shall be considered in the evaluation of teaching quality. (b) Creative Activity Definition — Creative activity consists of contributions by an individual in the forms or media typical of his discipline, art or profession, and which are available for critical evaluation by his / her peers within his / her discipline, art or profession.

Parkside students may submit editorial ideas to the editor for consideration. Editorial ideas need not be typed to be considered. oocccooocwcoccoooccaaccosceoccooccososccooocoos Forum s uccessful, el ection d isgraced The forum of PSGA presidential candidates Monday, sponsored by Ranger, was a success — t he attendance was at least 125. That doesn't sound like much, but considering student interest in past PSGA elections this qualifies as a success. V oter turnout (last year was 12 percent) should also be improved. This year's presidential election has drawn much attention and has turned into a bitter, hard - fought campaign. Not only has a grievance been filed with the Elections Committee, but rumors have been rampant, candidate behavior questionable and elections posters vandalized. The destruction of election posters was common this election and the childish vandals are a blemish on the university. Maybe they don't know the severity of the punishment (a few years ago a student was placed on disciplinary probation and barred from involvement in any student organization) or maybe they just don't care. But whatever the reason, those responsible should remember they are now in college and should act their age. Reagan succeeds where others have failed by Chuck Ostrowski Despite my ardent opposition to the programs and policies of President Reagan, I must admit that he's succeeded immeasurably where other presidents have failed. No president has singly caused the political rejunivation of this country the way Ronald Reagan has. Of course, he's done it not through positive and idealistic initiatives the way President Kennedy tried, but through conservative fanaticism that has profited the small minority at the top of the economic and social ladder while tyrannizing the large majority in the middle and at the bottom. His many policies, represented by James Watt's environmental "initiatives" and Secretary Haig's and Weinberger's right - wing ideological bullshit, to Attorney General Smith's non - prosecution of conglomerate mergers and prosecution of non - registered 18 year-olds, has triggered something! Grassroot campaigns representing wide - ranging interests, including women's suffrage, nuclear power, disarmament, the environment, the arts, and education have emerged everywhere. Never before has the President's power to inflict pain, discomfort, and anger; and pleasure, comfort, and happiness been apparent. Usually the Chief Executive has used the office to promote the betterment of life for all citizens, not just the few who directly control him. And the strange thing about that is President Reagan putting this policy of helping the "poor rich guys" in the center of his economic programs and social policies. He not only believes in supporting the wealthy, he's incredibly brash enough to do it openly — and as the cornerstone of his "economic revitalization program" (whatever that means) no less! This could mean two things. One, that President Reagan considers himself a one - term office holder, and thus has decided to go for broke and not bend to prevailing pressures; or two, that President Reagan considers himself a two - term office holder and is incredibly out - of - touch with the electorate. If the former, only God can help us. If the latter, he's in for quite a shock come. November. Why God could only help us is pretty much self - explanatory. The results of an all - out push by the President of the United States, -and especially this one, would be devestating. Not only would it, as we have seen by some of Reagan's recent initiatives, push back civil rights gains several decades and make equal treatment of women through legislation non - existant, it also would cause irreparable damage to the environment, a further widening between economic classes, and a general attitude on the part of government favoring bootstraps over any real, meaningful social and employment programs. But if, on the other hand, Reagan considers himself a two - term president, why is he acting like Karl Marx's alterego? Surely he can't believe alienation of millions of people constitutes support? In theory, alienation means non r s upport! There is a third explanation for President Reagan's actions. He could be just as sincere and level - headed as he appears. Maybe he does actually believe that, yes, the betterment of all would be best advanced through economic programs benefiting the rich and advantaged. Maybe we should look closer at the economic costs of pollution - control systems. Maybe rehabilitation of housing, funding of mass - transit, and availability of day - care facilities should be left to the private sector. Any maybe every college student would be better served if government funding were cut - off, and we spent seven years studying for a bachelors degree instead of four. Maybe this is the right way to go. But then again, maybe not. Bearden contract not renewed Continued From Page One Larsen said the committee didn't do justice when it said his teaching abilities were evaluated as good. "They were excellent," said Larsen, who has gone through student evaluations of Bearden's teaching. Larsen also sat on the search and screen committee that brought Bearden to Parkside and had a full vote in the committee's actions. - There have been many rumors circulating since the nonrenewal PUSHING THE ATOMIC CLOCK FORWARD Coach Stephens has done great job Dear Editor: Last evening, your UWParkside Rangers lost a Men's Basketball NAIA Playoff game to a strong UW-Eau Claire team. UW-Parkside suffered another major loss last night. The Parkside - Eau Claire game marked the end of Steve Stephens' most successful coaching career at your school. All of us involved in athletics at Lakeland College are sorry to see him go. Steve has been with your basketball program since its inception and our Lakeland Muskies have competed with his Rangers, often unsuccessfully, each and every year. I would like to make a few comments about your Coach Stephens. Steve Stephens has built a basketball program from scratch and has given Parkside teams which have gained respect throughout the United States. His teams have always been highly competitive and extremely well - coached. They were sound fundamentally, played excellent defense, rebounded with authority, and were poised. The Stephens - coached Rangers played hard but clean basketball and never seemed to quit regardless of the score. Coach Stephens is a GENTLEMAN on and off the court. He has earned tremendous respect from knowledgable basketball leaders throughout the nation and the multitude of special honors that his peers have bestowed upon this outstanding athletic leader speak well of Steve Stephens the MAN, and Steve Stephens the COACH. Parkside has been most fortunate to have Coach Stephens in charge of the Men's Basketball Program. His act will be most difficult to follow. I am hopeful that the UWParkside administration, faculty, students, and alumni realize what a great job Steve has done in giving your school a truly "class" basketball operation. Sincerely, Duane A. Woltzen Basketball Coach Lakeland College Student evaluations are underrated To the Editor: I am extremely concerned about the new attitude towards University students. The new trend in administration throughout, the University sytem seems to be to underrate students' evaluative talents. Students' evaluation of their professors have become a detriment to the good professors. If an inept professor receives poor teaching scores from his students, the professor simply tells the powers that be that his/her students don't truly want to learn. The professor sometimes even believes this nonsense, and the administration seems to believe it. Let's face the facts at Parkside. Students at Parkside want to learn, and they are capable of evaluating the people who teach them. First, forty percent (40%) of the students at Parkside are "non - traditional" students. These adult students do not participate in "popularity votes." Secondly, the students who attend Parkside are not sent here by wealthy mommas and poppas. Parkside students want a good education from good professors so that they can survive in today's NRA responds to super-bullet cartoon world. In my classes at Parkside, I have encountered people who work forty hours and go to school full time. I have met older women (with children) taking 15 to 18 credits. And, I know students studying hard to become the first college graduated family member. These persons are not here to be entertained. We are here to be taught by capable individuals. And, if the administration receives a favorable evaluation of a professor, you may be sure that the professor has NOT entertained, she/he has taught, and taught well. Dana Goetz recommendation was made, said Larsen, One prevalent rumor was that a certain senior faculty member felt that the committee was pressured into hiring Bearden by the junior faculty members. "I know for a fact that this certain professor voted for Jim Bearden from the beginning with no pressure and the junior faculty was split in the decision to hire him," said Larsen. Bearden is requesting a review of the nonrenewal decision. To the Editor: I am writing in response to a cartoon recently appearing in the Ranger. On Thursday, February 11, 198 2 your paper ran a cartoon on page two, projecting a satirical and incorrect view of a new firearms product recently put on the market connecting it to the National Rifle Association. These so - c alled super bullets actually do have great destructive power, but in no way does the NRA approve of their sale, use or production. The NRA is not a sales promotion group, but an organization of U.S. citizens who reserve the constitutional right to possess arms. This cartoon may not seem like a vital issue until you consider the growing anti - gun movement in this country. After the example Morton Grove set less than 100 miles from here, I dislike the NRA receiving this type of undeserved negative publicity. I wrote this letter to express the views of NRA members who are students here at Parkside, and myself. I hope this Students not apathetic letter will be taken as an attem to clarify the actual statement ti cartoon made. Thank yo Brian Schuet Dear Editor: An important part of the semester is now upon us. It is the time when many students are involved in their courses (possibly as a result of mid-terms) to the extent that there is little time for extracurricular activities. Even when certain events are scheduled such as the Winter Carnival, many of us cannot participate in them because of the enormous amount of study required to prepare for tests. The March 4 letter, "Winter Carnival Marred" (Jack Kemper) is an example of what I am talking about. But there is still hope for those among us who have refused to be beaten! During the recent election campaign, the reference was made that the student populace had become athathetic and disinterested in the workings of this institution. To this I say, BULL!!! Never before have I seen such interest in any PSGA election (maybe because of such comments). Believe it or not Mr. Politician, WE ARE ALIVE! And one more thing, we'll be watching to see whether apathy sets in among the PSGA during the next term!

Main Racine Preppy Deck Shoe Special •35.95 With This Ad CSA bookstore bid accepted by Pat Hensiak News Editor The Bookstore Committee has given a unanimous vote to accept the bid on the bookstore contract made by College Stores Associates (CSA). The decision was made after a report from Tom Moore and Nick Burckel, who made a trip to Boston to see how other CSA operations are run. Follett, Inc., which currently operates the bookstore, did not place a bid and will soon leave campus. "My overall impression of CSA," said Moore, chairman of the Bookstore Committee, "is that they are a very aggressive and remarkably fast growing company. If you have any extra money, and if they are public, I would suggest going to invest in them. I think in the short run, CSA will provide significant and better service than we are getting now." Records show that CSA has been successful in retaining the required number of texts and obtaining the books on time. The university has been assured of not having to pay for any incompetence on the part of CSA. Flexibility could be low on contractual matters. CSA has offered Parkside 2.5% of gross sales, or a minimum of $16,000. That means the university will be getting less than it currently is. Records also show that CSA offers 7% to 7.5% to many of the other campuses. There are plans being made to have a full - time staff of four or five people, but the salary for the manager will be $16,000. The chances for good, competent managers are good right now, because promotion opportunities will hold them. The committee was concerned about what would happen when advancement stops and this fast - growing company begins to slow down. Unfortunately, there is no way of telling. The layout and attractiveness of the bookstore will be changing too. The main floor on Level 1 will probably be used for trade books and soft goods. It would be turned into somewhat of a little store. Moore reported that all of the CSA stores had a very attractive soft goods area. There is also a remarkable amount of merchandise in comparison to what there is now. Textbooks will be sold out of an outlet in the basement. During the rush period, students will simply hand in their class lists and a runner will retrieve their books. When the rush period is over, the basement outlet will be opened up. The reason for this system of order and retrieve is for efficiency and probably a cutback in the amount of theft that takes place. There will also be a definite cutdown in confusion. Three things that the Bookstore Committee didn't agree with were not being able to see a text before you buy it, the request for possible work study students, and the clause in the contract that states a surcharge can be negotiated. It was agreed that most students like to see the texts before they purchase them, if for no other reason than simply to see the context of the book. If the book purchasing area were off limits during the rush period, a student would not be able to do this. A suggestion was made to have one copy of every book being used, either on display within the store, or having all of the books available on reserve in the library. Work study students were also requested from CSA. It was agreed that if working in the bookstore actually did offer Continued On Page Seven University Budget released by Pat Hensiak News Editor The 1982-83 university budget has been released by the Parkside administration. Through the Retrenchment Program (money cut from the budget to make up for the state mandated budget cuts) there was money reallocated and actually put back into the system. The Retrenchment / Reallocation process began this year and enabled the campus to add money to certain areas with need. The Vice Chancellor and Assistant Chancellors met with their directors / chairpersons earlier this year to identify areas needing supplemental dollars. Significant additions were made to adjunct faculty, student help, limited - term employees, supply and expense budgets in some academic divisions. A special base allocation of $50,000 was made to the library for books and periodicals. The periodical subscription list may still have to be cut, since rates are rising so fast. As required by federal audit, money was added to financial aids for a computer service contract for the NDSL Loan Program. Money was added to the publications area to cover higher costs and some administrative areas received added supply and expense money. The Academic Area was granted an $89,529 b udget with a savings of $73,645 i n the Retrenchment program. Athletics was cut $65,000 b y 2.5 positions. In the Administrative and the Physical Plant area, there is a $63,412 budget with a $48,658 savings in the Retrenchment Program. The Chancellor was granted $73,289 budget for supply and expenses and publications such as course schedules, discipline guides and advertising. Educational Services was granted a base allocation of $8,997 with $64,589 saved through the Retrenchment Program. Chancellor Alan Guskin feels that the campus is in a good position to absorb a moderate cut without affecting essential operations. He feels that we do not have to expect a large cut and that any general cut would be offset by an enrollment funding increase. COMPUTER CENTER INFORMATION SESSIONS The Computer Center has scheduled three information sessions for students, faculty and staff who use UW - Parkside's Instructional and Research Timesharing System (PIRTS) or the IBM academic computing system. The main idea behind the sessions is to make available regular times when users can get together informally with the Center's Operations Manager, Academic Consultant and Systems Programmer and discuss users' questions, suggestions and concerns. The sessions will be held in the MOLN - ill faculty lounge on: Tuesday, March 23, 10-11 am Wednesday, April 14, 1-2 pm Monday, May 3, 4-5 pm Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attend any or all of the sessions.

Armed with an arsenal of post - metal pop and new wave, the dual - axed quintet put the dance floor in orbit for three hours of power pop frenzy. Bringing with them a mob following of leopard skin tights and multi - colored hair - dos, the Racine - based Cleaver re - defined the word fun as the crowd pogoed and frugged their way into the night. It is a familiar story, of three boys growing up on the north side of Racine, putting a high school band together to earn some cash playing Holiday Inns and junior high school dances. Gary, Grant and Greg went their separate ways after minor qualms about how the music should be played. After five years of individually unsuccessful attempts to cut their path to local recognition in many rock bands, they reunited to form Wally Cleaver, bringing together a wealth of playing experience and musical notes. After recruiting two boys from the Wind Point band "Trix", they decided to forego the heavy metal scheme that other local bands were after and decided to do something lighter, something easier to dance to, and something that still sounded modern and innovative like the new stuff that was coming out. So they compiled the definitive songlist that included songs like Starry Eyes by the Records, 867-5309 by Tommy Tutone, and What She Does To Me by the Producers as well as old standards like I Saw Her Standing There by the Beatles, No Matter What by Badfinger and Let's Spend the Night Together by the Rolling Stones. Added were some originals, My Secrets, Cleaver Shuffle, and Shara to name a few and after a few solid months of rehearsals in the basement, they wee ready to tackle the world. What they did was enter and win last year's Palms Rock Showcase. Palms, as you know, (Electric Ballroom to you old timers), is the biggest rock club in Milwaukee on the north side. It books regional and national acts for its fervent patronage and has a capacity for about 800 people and infinitely more drinks. Well, the Cleavers won that contest and the first thing they knew they were playing in front of 10,000 pe ople on Wells Street in Milwaukee as part of t he Radio Doctors Street Festival. The other thing was that they got a chance to record a track on an album put out by another Milwaukee night club, the Fantasy's to further escalate their snowball start. Well, the story continues and they hired Total Concepts Management and Climax Entertainment to take care of the business and of the deal so they could concentrate more on music. With them they did some gigs in Minneapolis and St. Paul, as well as some clubs around southeastern Wisconsin like City Slick in Lake Geneva. Everywhere they went they took on an easy acceptance. Perhaps it was their punchy sound, or maybe it was their visual appeal, but the Cleavers looked pretty comical, caught on quickly on stage actually, sort of like something you'd see on Three Stooges. Simply bouncing around the stage bumping into each other, and careening off to the left and to the right, they were an immediate smash. Now let's meet the band. Steve, Leger, that's Billy Budd up there singing into the microphone, shaking his blond hair and winking at the girls. He's the lead singer. He's talking about Grant, who's playing a Flying V t o your right, that ear splitting grin underlining his curly mop. Off in the other corner, Gary's playing tough guy with his Stratocaster, acting like a jock, while Curt is bouncing like a rubber ball in the middle somewhere with his big bass guitar. Greg the drummer is trying to get into the act but he has WALLY CLEAVER played last Friday Square. no risers for his kit so he jumps up and down in between measures, waving his stick in the air. There they go, twirled up in the air, caught just in time by an outstretched hand, and bam, crash, right on the down beat. The crowd goes wild. Okay, so I had a couple of beers when I walked into the place and eventually even made my way onto the dance floor and shook my protoplasm with the female gender right up there by the stage monitors. But the point is, when I went backstage during the break to talk to them, they were actually singing in two part harmony getting ready for their next! muro »y r viarK b anaers night in the Union 'Treshmen wait for the weekend to have a Michelob. Seniors know better" During a break! These guys really like playing! I have to hand it to them. Although there were other bands like Britins, The Booze Brothers, and BadBoy at the Union who were more experienced and drew a bigger crowd, I really liked these guys and hope they build on their act to start that snowball toward bigger markets. They've got youth, vigor, and stamina to hang in there, so we might be hearing more about them in the near future. The PAB has them booked for THE END on May 22, so you might have a chance to look them over on the outdoor stage in the back of the Union. You'll be hearing more about that later on in April. So Wally Cleaver's the band of the hour. They're from Racine, so here's your chance to get in on the bandwagon and say I saw these guys when they were just starting out. And they're from your hometown so let's root for them (those of you from K town have the Britins but they're already plateaued so we'll let you switch over, come on.) Give me a W Arts festival for handicapped More than 1,200 handicapped young people five to 21 years old will participate in the third Racine / Kenosha Very Special Arts Festival on Tuesday, March 16, at Parkside.

MA DRIGRANO 1831 - 55th St. Kenosha, Wise. 658*3553 Dead Men could be funnv Burned Up by Dick Oberbruner HO * r\ « * " Yep, it's going to be a good long wait for the premiere of Steve Martin's new movie, "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid." At the time the supplement came out, in a recent Ranger, the due date of May 21 was three months away! (Check the Guinness Book for the record on the longest length of time between earliest promotion material distributed and a film's debut.) Since the semester will be ending at this time there won't be a Ranger for anyone to read. So I'll do it now. Judging by the supplement, "Dead Men" should be pretty funny. Martin's acting will probably reflect his past style, but look for fresh new differences. With "Pennies From Heaven," his most recent film, Martin has shown quite a change from his "Jerk" appearance. There's some funny stuff in that supplement. The picture of Ma rtin choking the Nazi is funny. I bet the whole scene is. But maybe not. The pallid look on his face answering the telephone is equally amusing. I wonder it if has anything to do with the movie? And the "Detecto - Vision" it is allegedly filmed in is something. I don't know what, but I'll find out if I have the money to watch it. Carl Reiner is a veteran comedy writer. He, Martin and another guy, George Gipe, wrote the screenplay. Directed by Reiner, "Dead Men" is well - conceived. Anybody who can make a two - hour movie deserves some credit. You know, E for effort. Well, that's my review, sort of a "Sneak Preview" from the supplement. But how else could I put it? (Right — not at all, but that's no fun!) Now what? Should we like it already because of the funny supplement? Do the makers of the film, Universal City Studios, want US to prepare for the coming attraction, giving us enough time in 0 do so? Maybe we should start reading Dick Tracy comic books under a magnifying glass, or be listening to the radio n?r . Ellery Queen Minute Mysteries. Whatever the motive, don t you think three months is a bit premature to ingrain something of average interest upon our memories? It seems odd that a lot of things of more importance could, and will, happen within this time span we could get 30 inches of sno w, there s finals to cram for, some of us will graduate, some might get married, theater ticket prices could go up — and this Hollywood film studio wants us to remember to see their product. Unless you've hung the supplement on your wall, and showed it to all your friends outside of school, the excitement created by this early hype should pass by quickly. But watch for an advertised wave of "Detectomania" these next couple of months. No one I've heard has said they're going to see it, which is the exception rather than the rule for a new movie starring a celebrity. And why worry? Do you know what your plans are that weekend? "Hey Dick, let's go see the Steve Martin flick." "O.K. Call me in Portland." I think Steve Martin is funny, but I can't afford to spend the month of A pril sitting on the edge of my s eat. There's a theater near me but this particular movie won't be coming soon. I have enough time to find a date, work in the Peace Corps and make it back for the cartoon. Meantime, this supplement lies as another piece of garbage for the janitors to pick up. This is truly a movie to wait for. We have no choice. SUPER SPORTS FOOTWEAR, ETC.

Another light went out. What's going on? Why are talented people dying off? It all goes so fast. They give us what they can and then they're gone. There's got to be a reason for this. Perhaps our younger generation was never meant to suffer through the hell of war. Then we won't have to look to .generals with medals to play the heroes.

Private Lessons" done well by Rick Luehr "Private Lessons" is the enbodiment of a very common male fantasy, that is, being seduced by a beautiful older woman. The plot concerns Philly, a fifteen year old boy who, like most boys his age is preoccupied with adolescent thoughts of girls and sex. Philly's father goes out of town on business, leaving Philly in the care of the new housekeeper, Nicole Mallow. Philly begins hiding outside Miss Mallow's window, hoping to catch a glimpse of her in the nude. One night Nicole sees him, and to Philly's surprise she asks him to come in and watch her undress. Not believing his eyes or ears, Philly agrees. However, when Nicole asks him if he would like to stay the night, his teenage nervousness gets the best of him, and he leaves. From that point on, Nicole seems intent on seducing Philly. The plot is not simply about the sexual initiation of a teenage boy, as there is a twist in the plot that involves the chauffer, a slimy creep named Lester. "Private Lessons" is not what you consider great art. There is really nothing spectacular about it, but it is very funny. The screenplay by Dan Greenburg, based on his book, "Philly," is very insightful and understanding towards the feelings of young teenage boys. Philly's character is very well defined, and had a realistic sense about it. Audiences will believe that he is a real person, not just a film character. Eric Brown gives a very good performance in this role. You can feel his nervousness and share it, especially in the scene where he watches Nicole undress. Sylvia Kristel, who received international exposure (no pun intended) in the French erotic classic "Emmanualle," is the type of woman that I'm sure most young men would not mind losing their virginity with. As Lester, the blackmailing chauffer, Howard Hesseman is very different from his Dr. Johnny Fever character on "WKRP." In fact, he makes a very convincing villian. The supporting cast is adequate. A standout is Peter Elbling in a small role as a snotty, pseudo - French waiter. All in all, "Private Lessons" is a warm, funny, and perceptive movie that is well worth your time. I recommend that you see it — you may learn something. ©1981 Beer Brewed by Miller Brewing Co., Milwaukee, Wis.

The once thought of bizarre track event is finally being fed to the American public after being starved by the media for so long. Much of the new media hype is reflected on former Parkside race walker, Jim Heiring. He has broken world indoor records for race walking at distances of 1500 meters, 1 mile, and 2 miles this winter. "Race walking is finally getting exposure. It is getting some overdue recognition and it is being seen as a sport for athletes, not 'participants'," said Heiring. The tall, slender athlete has established himself as America's premier walker. In May of last year he won the national 20 kilometer (12.4 miles) championship. In addition to his three world records during this year's indoor season, he has gone unRangers finish 7th by Patty DeLuisa Parkside's men's track team scored 38 points to finish seventh in UWM's John Tierny Invitational Saturday. Eleven teams competed. Miler Dan Stublaski, who is improving weekly, placed second with a time of 4:19.2. Coach Lucian Rosa, impressed by Stublaski's progress, commented that Dan ran a "good race." Mark Witherspoon sprinted to two high - scoring places as he won the 60 yard dash in 6.5 seconds and finished fourth in the 300 yard run with a clocking of 32.4 seconds. John Anderson cleared 14' 0", placing third in the pole vault. Glenn Schultz also participated in the meet, running well in the two - mile. The Ranger men will travel to Oshkosh this Friday to take on Oshkosh, Stout, and Stevens Point. Coach Rosa seemed optimistic about a new recruit, Dwight Cooper, who will run the 440 and compete in the long jump. District squad announced High scoring Eau Claire guard Tony Carr will head the 1981-82 NAIA District 14 all - district squad, announced Wayne Dannehl last week. Carr, a 6-3 senior from Beloit (Memorial), is averaging 25.7 points a game and led his team into the district title game at Stevens Point last Wednesday night. Also on the team from Eau Claire are 6-9 senior center Bob Coenen and 6-7 senior forward Rich DiBenedetto. WSUC cochampion and district finalist Stevens Point placed 6-4 junior forward John Mack on the team and had the district coach of the year in Dick Bennett. Parkside, which lost 86-80 to Eau Claire in the district semi - finals, was represented on the squad by 5-11 sophomore guard Charles Perry and 6-10 1/2 junior center Wilbert Webb. Lakeland, which lost to Stevens Point in semi - final action, had 6-4 senior forward Ken Depies on the honor squad. Stout's Craig Summers, a 6-3 senior guard, also made the team, as did 6-3 junior forward Jeff Payton of River Falls and 6-3 junior guard Jeff Brezovar of the Milwaukee School of Engineering. Ranger Needs Sports Writers defeated, capturing titles in such prestigious meets as the Millrose Games and the TAC national indoor championships. Yet, the 1980 Olympian said, "The indoor records are great to have, but what I'm really aiming for is to defend my 20K title outdoors." The road being paved by Heiring started in his junior year in high school. "I first competed in Junior Olympics and did well. Mike DeWitt, who was a walker at Parkside at the time, helped me quite a bit. So I started with all positive influences, which encouraged me to keep walking." The promise continued to college where Heiring became a ten time all-American in walking events at two miles (indoors) and 10,000 meters (outdoors). Preceding his graduation in 1977 from Parkside, he had a bout with the California life style, training and working in Los Angeles. After the "imaginary" 1980 Olympics for U.S. athletes, the Kenosha native returned home to train. His daily regime the past two years has consisted of: a 30 minute run in the morning; an RACE WALKER JIM HEIRING eight hour work day ; then a speed limited and I had a hard time or long distance workout walking training 100% because of work," at night. "My time was very explained the bearded athlete. However, this routine has just changed as of March l. Heiring will be blazing trails in the Rocky Mountains at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. He will be devoting all his efforts preparing for the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. "My goal is for a medal at 20K." The last American to win a medal in any Olympic walking event for the U.S. was Larry Young at 50K in Munich in 1972. No American has ever won a medal at 20K. Heiring said the key to a good racer is technique. If one can establish a fluid stride, such as he has, without breaking the rules of having one foot on the ground at all times and keeping the knees locked, times will improve with the addition of speed work. "I was tested biochemically last year at the Olympic Training Center and found that my pure potential for a 20K race walk is 1 hour and 22 minutes. That's the level I must be on if I'm to shoot for a medal." The way things have been going for Heiring this season, the odds of an American winning an Olympic medal at 20K in Los Angeles in 1984 a re looking real fine.

Wisconsin Rangers finish seventeenth in Forest Grove by Tammv yShuematP ate The Parkside wrestling team concluded their season last week at the NAIA National Tournament held in Forest Grove, Oregon. Parkside placed 17th out of the 78 teams that participated. Top rankers for Parkside were Dan Winter at 134 and Mike Muckerheide at 150, who both placed seventh in their respective weight classes. Winter, still bothered by a broken nose suffered during the NCAA, II National Tournament, defeated his opponent, Tim Martin of Wilamette College, by an 8-7 decision.

Brinkman explained that they haven't gotten around to changing the signs yet. Brinkman also said that Kreuser, who is a manager in the Union, has no jurisdiction to have anybody kicked out of the building. "I did not break an election rule," Kreuser told Ranger. Pogreba said he didn't know if an election rule was broken, and that that decision is up to the Elections Committee. The committee will decide whether or not it is necessary to take any action after Pedersen reports his findings to the committee.

Winter went on to beat Archie Clark of Graceland College by a score of .13-5 in the wrestle back. He then lost his fifth match to John Kranz of Loras College by a 6-4 decision. In his sixth and final match, he defeated Keith Harpster of Malone College by a score ol 13-4, thereby taking seventh place overall and becoming a seven time ail-American. Parkside's other place winner was sophomore Mike Muckerheide. Muckerheide, who placed sixth in this tournament last year, defeated Peter Shepard of Oregon Tech 17-5 i n his first match. He then went on to defeat Eric Lugan of Ft. Lewis with a decision of 8-6. In his third match, he was beaten by his opponent, Mimmo Marello of Simon Frasier by a score of 20-6.

If, on the other hand, the students would not get the needed experience in the bookstore, it would be better to use them in a different area of the university. It has also been pointed out that CSA has never found any need for a surcharge. If this is the case, it was suggested that the clause in the contract giving negotiable surcharge, be removed. The university has sent a letter of acceptance of the CSA bid to CSA. More information willbe available after the letter has been received by CSA. How to do well in Economy Class Simple.

Yes, believe it or not, baseball is beginning once again despite the bad weather we've been experiencing. According to Parkside's baseball coach Ken "Red" Oberbruner, the team has been practicing in the gym frequently since early January. "As far as preconditioning is concerned, I think we're in halfway decent shape. We could go right out of the gym and into the snow and play ball," he said. As for the strengths of the team, Oberbrunner said, "It's always your pitching staff and your defense that tells you how good you're going to do this year." And this year, unfortunately, the pitching staff will be minus two of last year's top pitchers. Jamie Oberbruner, the coach's son, signed with the San Diego Padres and Kevin Erwin decided against returning to school. Even though this loss may hurt the team, Oberbruner feels he has a fairly good staff coming back. "I think we have two players who I think could be stoppers," he said, "Brian Steinhoff who transferred from Carthage, and the other is Joe Krisik who transferred from Wichita State. They're both juniors so they've had several years experience and I'm looking for them to really help us out and take over." Oberbruner also mentioned sophomores Jim Anderson and Scott Hartnell, who are first year players. He said, "I'm looking forward to them giving us some relief as far as starting assignments are concerned." Oberbruner feels he has a good lefty in Mark Schmitz, who is from Cashton High School, winner of the Class C State Tournament last year. He is looking to freshman right handers Glenn Lowe and Paul Czarny for some extra help. "So I guess as we look at it now, we'll have seven pitchers," he said, "and hopefully, two of them can be our stoppers and the other five will come along in games. I would say that probably it will take till the third week in April, I think, before this team will really come around." Due to the fact that last year's right and center fielders will not be back, Oberbruner will have to do some switching of positions in the outfield. "I think the strength in our outfield will be adequate," he said. As of now, Chris Rozell will be playing right field. Said Oberbruner, "He's a very fine looking ballplayer so I think we could get some mileage out of him. And then in center field we're moving our John Hyatt from left field over to center field this year and so we have left field open." CLASSIFIED ADS SERVICES OFFERED TYPING Professionally done.

Looking over his catching staff, Oberbruner said, "We have good strength this year, this is one of the best catching staffs that I've ever had since I've been here." The staff consists of Dick Sykes, who is going into his fourth year for Coach Oberbruner, Rick Marino, a junior, and Zar Matic and Rick Marino, both freshmen. "Those four boys look good to me and I may try them in the outfield also, or in different positions," said the coach. He went on to say that, "Our infield should be pretty classy. We have two All - State men back. At third base is Rick Salisbury and at second base is Danny Sykes, so they'll really help us. Then we have at short stop, Kevan Bytnar, who's back, and first base is kind of open this year. We're looking for somebody right now to put in there, and I think that Tony Laning is one possibility and Mike Carey is another possibility. He (Carey) played a little bit of first base for us last year. And Joe Krisik, when he isn't pitching, might be a possibility for playing first base." Other alternatives for infield positions are freshmen BJ McMahon, who probably can play any position in the infield and could be of help to the team and A1 Dorff, who was a good third baseman last year for Kenosha Tremper. Most likely, the coach will go with John Hyatt as the lead-off batter, followed by Dan Sykes, Rich Salisbury and, perhaps, Chris Rozell. Parkside has had some past success with a few of their players. Ray Gallo was signed by the Brewers and Jamie Oberbruner was signed by the San Diego Padres. This gives Parkside some exposure, as far as baseball scouts are concerned. According to Coach Oberbruner, "They get to know that if you've had some luck with players moving up the ladder, they'll always watch you. I know now that there's going to be at least four to six down in Indiana to watch us. That's good news.' Oberbruner feels that the team has gotten one of the best schedules they've had in a long time. They will be playing such teams as University of Chicago - Circle, UW - Madison, Carthage and Chicago State, to name a few. Following the three games they will be playing at Indiana State next week, their first home game will be held on April 8, a doubleheader against Chicago State. Once the Parkside baseball team gets into the swing of thi ngs and the weather starts warming up, baseball fans can hopefully look forward to an exciting and successful season.
