Winter Carnival approaches again as the new year moves along. This year the carnival will offer traditional events, as well as fresh new approaches to fun in what can be a rough time of year. Winter Carnival is in its fourth year on Parkside's campus. It is a week long event designed to develop friendship and camaraderie through a variety of club and individual competitions. The festivities traditionally begin with the parade on Monday, and conclude with the dance on Friday. Winter Carnival will begin on Monday February 7, and conclude on Friday, February ll. Winter Carnival events are divided into two general areas: Club or Organizational Events, and Individual Events. To qualify for club events, organizations must be registered in the Student Activities Office (Union 209). The Winter Carnival Committee will award $150.00 and the Winter Carnival Traveling Trophy to the organization that scores the most points during the carnival through Club Events. Second and third places will also receive $100.00 and $50.00 respectively, and the second and third place traveling trophies. The point value system which will be used for determining the winner for an event will be: 1st Place -150 points; 2nd Place - 100 points; 3rd Place - 50 points; participation - 25 points; sponsoring an event - 125 points. Participation applies .to organizations who did not place" or sponsor an event. When sponsoring an event, an organization may not participate in it. Organizations will only be awarded points for sponsoring one event. Points from events will accumulate to determine Grand Prize winners. Individual events are open to all students, faculty and staff. For these events, individual cash prizes will be awarded according to the sponsorship of th e event. To register, pick up forms at the information desk in the Union, or in the Student Activities Office (Union 209). The following events are open to any club or organization registered with the Student Activities Office: 1. Window Painting, from Tuesday, February 1 to Friday, February 4. Only designated windows can be painted. Windows available for judging are located at the Ranger and PSGA offices, and Main Place. The paints used must be ones supplied by the Winter Carnival Committee, and the painting should be designed to follow the Carnival theme (Snow Wars: Parkside Strikes Back!) Clubs painting windows will be responsible for cleaning the windows by Wednesday, February 16. Windows will be judged on creativity and originality. 2. Blood Drive, Thursday, February 10. Anyone giving blood may credit it to the student organization of their choice, except Peer Support, who is sponsoring this event. The receptionist at the sign - up table will record this information and total it at the end of the day. There will be a first, second and third prize, according to the general Winter Carnival rules. 3. Parade Float Competition, Monday, February 7 at 1 p.m. on the concourse. For this competition, there are cash prizes added to the point totals as follows: first place, $100.00; second place, $50.00. The floats should also be designed to follow the carnival theme, and no gas will be judged on originality, creativity and overall appearance. Floats should be in Union 104-106by 11 a.m. on the 7th, and ready to roll by 12:50 p.m. 4. Outdoor Volleyball Tournament, Tuesday, February 8 and Friday, February ll. All teams by Bob Kiesling News Editor Parkside students will now have a more active voice in the Union's operation. The Parkside Union Advisory Board, forming this semester, will work with the Union administration in the formulation and implementation of guidelines in an attempt to better serve the Parkside community. The board is to consist of 13 members, ten voting members and three non - voting members. Of the voting members, three seats will be held by two faculty members and an alumnus. The two faculty members will be appointed by the Chancellor in cooperation with the University Committee. The Parkside Alumni Association will appoint an alumnus to fill that seat. One student will be appointed by each of the major organizations. In addition, two students, from the student body at large, will be elected to the Board, one in the fall and one in the spring. Appointments to the Board have so far been made by the Student Organization Council and Ranger. Non - voting members on the Board will be the Dean of S tudent Life, the Director of the Union and the Student Activities Coordinator. The non - voting positions are permanent appointments; voting members serve one - year terms. Recommendations of PUAB will be sent to the Dean of Student Life for consideration. If a conflict developes between the Dean of Student Life and the Board, a two - thirds vote is necessary to resubmit the recommendation for consideration. In the event of a continuing conflict, the recommendation will be sent to the Chancellor for a final decision. The Board's constitution states that it "shall seek to fulfill the educational goals of the University through the cooperation of the various elements within the University and the community." The board is responsible for advising in the following areas: Determination of Union hours and availability of services; The setting of prices; And, if needed, present services will be reviewed and modified if necessary. Public relations and special promotions will also be considered. powered vehicles will be allowed. Ail floats must be able to complete the parade route, that is, they must be able to fit through the doorways in the concourse, and clubs are responsible to see that the floats are either pushed or pulled up the concourse. Floats must consist of six members, two of which should be female. Each game will be played to 15 points, and a team must win by two points. The first team to win two games will advance to the next round of play, and the finals will be played at 1 p.m. on Friday, February ll. Anytime a ball touches the net on a serve, or is played by a player with anything other than his or her hands, the ball will go to the other team. The following events are open to all students, faculty, and staff members, and will have first, second, and third place cash prizes. Entry forms will be available at the Union Information Desk. 1. M*A*S*H Trivia Contest, Monday, February 7, during the M*A*S*H party in the Union Square. Contestants will be required to answer a number of questions pertaining to the television series M*A*S*H. 1n case of a tie, top scoring contestants will come on stage and answer tie - breaking questions. If contestants continually tie, the money for the place they are competing for will be divided. 2. Jello Slurping, Wednesday, February 9, 1 p.m., in Union Square. Contestants cannot use their hands, but will have to eat a four inch square of jello and stand up to be recognized. The person who swallows the most jello in the least amount of time will be the winner. 3. Ice Block Sitting, Tuesday, February 9, 12:30, on the Union Pad. The contestants will be required to sit on a block of ice with only one pair of pants, and one pair of long underwear. The contestant who sits on the ice the longest will be the winner. 4. Snow Sculpture, Monday, February 7, to Friday, February 11. Clubs may construct a sculpture that either represents Parkside or the 1983 Winter Carnival theme (Snow Wars: Parkside Strikes Back!!). Continued On Page Eight Guthrie Theater to perform here The Guthrie Theater, winner of the 1982 Tony Award as the best regional theater in America, will bring its touring production of Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer prize - winning romantic comedy "Talley's Folly" to Parkside for a performance at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25, in the Communication Arts Theater. A limited number of t ickets are available for the performance, which is part of the University's "Accent on Enrichment" series. Tickets are $8 each and are available in person or by mail from the Parkside Union Information Center (Phone 553- 2345). (UW-Parkside student tickets are $5 e ach.) The play, billed as "a no - hold barred romance," portrays the courtship of a witty Jewish immigrant, Matt Friedman, and a reserved Missouri spinster, Sally Talley. Their tale unfolds in an abandoned Victorian boathouse on the Fourth of July in 1944. Both Matt and Sally have guarded pasts: His involves the bitter experiences of a Jewish family on the run in Hitler's Europe; hers, an earlier broken - off love affair. As they reveal themselves to one another, they evoke not only the blossoming of their own love, but paint a vivid picture of the America of that era. Jacqueline Knapp, who plays Sally, has spent the last nine years in New York City creating roles in many new plays such as "Chainsaws," "On Bliss Street in Sunnyside," "The Big Freeze," "I Am A Zoo" and "Hillbilly Woman" under the direction of Arthur Penn. Her most recent effort was working under the direction of Elia Kazan in his latest theater project — intermixing Greek tragedy with today's threat of nuclear destruction. Television credits include "Don't Step On The Cracks," "Twice Upon A Congress" and "The Mike Douglas Show," as well as narrating many television specials including CBS - TV's award - winning "Reach Out" public arrairs series. Ms. Knapp is a member of the acclaimed Actors Studio founded by Lee Strasberg. Eugene Troobnick, with 13 Broadway and off - Broadway credits, plays Matt. In addition to his stage roles, he has appeared in several movies including "All That Jazz" and "Paternity" and spent three years as an associate professor at the Yale School of Drama and a member of t he Yale Repertory Company. He began his acting career as an original member of Chicago's Second City company, where he also founded that city's Playwright's Theater Club. His television appearances have been numerous, including roles in the Emmy award - winning "Tell Me Where It Hurts" and "The Trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg." "Talley's Folly" opened in New York in 1979 to rave critical reviews and won the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for drama as well as the New York Drama Critics Award. EUGENE TROOBNICK as Matt Friedman and Jacqueline Knapp as Sally Tally waltz together in Lanford Wilson's romantic comedy Talley's Folly, presented by the Guthrie Theater. It is playwright Wilson's second play about the Talley family, an uppercrust Midwestern family from Lebanon, Mo., Wilson's real - life home town. Wilson's first "Talley" play was "The 5th of July," set in 1977. His first big Broadway hit was "The Hot L Baltimore." The production will be directed by David Feldshuh, who is probably unique in American theater annals in holding both a PhD degree, in theater, and a Doctor of Medicine degree. Feldshuh feels his two careers compliment each other. "Theater works as a kind of r elief valve for the work I do in medicine," Feldshuh said in an interview. "Medicine is not a field where you're encouraged to express an overwhelming amount of emotion. In theater you are — theater is an important form of expression." But Feldshuh also finds that the awareness and focus on communication emphasized in actor training has helped him in working with his medical patients. For example, he believes that his actor - honed awareness of b reath patterns and eye focus has helped him recognize subtle manifestations of anxiety in his patients. "I take both careers very seriously," he said. "Medicine is real — it' s making decisions that have consequence." Theater, on the other hand, alters reality, and has a romantic side that attracts Feldshuh, who obviously feels he has the best of both worlds. Set and lighting for Guthrie's - touring production are by Jack Barkla. Thursday, January 20,1983 RANGER Editorial Let's get things moving At long last, the Parkside Union Advisory Board is becoming a reality. PUAB has the potential to become an effective voice in the operation of the Union, but its authority to effect meaningful changes must be strengthened considerably before it can function effectively. , , set oul 'n its constitution, the Board has the power only to advise the Union administration. This only contributes to its image as a "do nothing organization. But image is not at issue; with increased authority PUAB will be able to fulfill its role in the Union administration's decision process. One unfortunate by - product of the image problem is the lack of interest in the board. Scheduled to begin last semester, PUAB has suftered from a series of start-up delays. Even now, only two out of the ten voting seats have been filled. PUAB, in its present form, lacks the power it needs to command the attention, and the participation of the organizations involved. The fact that PUAB serves an advisory role is at the root of the problem. In the event of a conflict with the administration, the board has no recourse but to send its recommendation to the Chancellor. The Chancellor's decision is final. A more effective course of action would be to place any disputed recommendation on the ballot during the student elections, as a referendum. Giving the students the final say in any controversial decision would be the correct move. It is the students who most use the day - to - day services that PUAB oversees. It is the Student Union! One additional area that PUAB could become active in is programming. In this they would serve an advisory function; the Parkside Activities Board already oversees Union programming, quite effectively. More input, though, from various segments of the university community would help PAB determine which activies would best serve its interests. PAB's representatives on the board would be an effective liaison between the two organizations. As an exercise in shared university governance, PUAB has the potential to benefit all members of the university, but only if it is given a chance. Letter to the Editor Collegiate skills requirement gets questioned OUR BIPARTISAN EXTRA S TRENGTH SOCIAL SE CURITY FlX lT PILL MAY BE A L ITTLE DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW — BUT T HAT'S MS fault. To the Editor: Once again, I've been "Readmitted on Final Probation" for not fulfilling certain Collegiate Skills Requirements. Yes, that's right, this is the second "Final Probation." I could detail my checkered Collegiate Skills history, but it is not relevant to my abstract concerns. Before I continue, I wish to make it known that I have never laid blame on others for my irresponsible handling of the fulfillment of the Requirements. Admittedly, I'm not opposing the judgement of those who granted me the waiver. What I am opposing is a program on this campus, supposedly instituted to benefit the student, that, instead, sometimes causes unnecessary complexities. If the main concern of the Requirements is to benefit the student, why complicate the process with so much "red tape?" Or do the Requirements merely exist to abstractly prove how "competent" Parkside students are? (Would we all be able to pass these tests on graduation day?) If the point of all the letters, meetings, Permits to Register, etc., is to make the student "sweat," I feel their purpose is wasted. Rarely is the import of these proceedings realized if a waiver is "easily" obtained. If the student knows (from the word in the halls), that, seemingly, more often than not, students will be granted a waiver (what campus is going to turn away tuition payers today?) that student views the proceedings merely as hoops through which to jump, and the game is perpetuated. My purpose here is not to condemn, but to question, with the hope of receiving honest answers. If the process needs reviewing and/or revising, spend the time, and money there — n ot on paper work that causes time and money to be spent unproductively. Perhaps a qualified member of the Administration, who deals closely with Collegiate Skills matters, and cares to respond candidly to my concerns, would benefit not only me, but everyone on this campus. Name withheld upon request Bruce is back Think Piece by Bruce R. Preston Usually when a new column appears in a paper the editor writes an introduction which will justify and perhaps explain that column's purpose. However, I am writing my own introduction so the reader will understand that each idea which appears within this box is uniquely and exclusively my own. A paper often falls under fire for carrying a controversial column or article and more often than not it is the staff which suffers most. Let it be known here and now that although some of my opinions may reflect those of the staff, that is not my primary goal or intention. This is why my column will be printed with a box around it; to set it apart from the rest of the editorial fare. This brings us to, I'm sure, your first question: what then is the primary goal or intention of this column? To provide the reader with some insight and perhaps a different point of view into a topic which may either be extremely popular or relatively unknown. To supply the reader with information which s/he may not have otherwise had access to. To give the reader something to think and hopefully talk about. Thus the title, "Think Piece." Many of you may know I can't take credit for creating the title (that goes to Dr. Thayer and Professor Habble) but I hope that its application to this column will prove successful. Another possible question floating in your head (it floated in mine for a while) is: why abandon the People on Campus feature for a totally different type of c olumn? Because when something happens to totally infuriate you, you want to tell people. Just as when you find that by looking at a dull mass Editor's Notes Here we go again; business as usual by Pat Hensiak Editor So, the new semester starts. And as we all walk about again, in the daze we still feel from this long vacation we've just experienced, we'll all slowly begin to snap back into reality. For some it will be a rude awakening, and for some it will be slow but steady. For those who are really lucky, it will not be a shocking experience, but a rather refreshing experience. An opportunity to get back into the cycle, back to work, down to business. After all, getting down to business is what it's all about isn't it?? Falling back into the structured time zones we all know and love so well .... " . . . A t t h r e e o ' c l o c k , I h a v e t o stop at the store on my way to work, to pick up some Geritol for mom. Then, I have to be at work until eight - fifteen, when I have to be to choir rehearsal for another hour. After that, I can go home and study (What an awful thought) for a half an hour before I watch the two episodes of M*A*S*H that we all know I'm ritualistic about. After that, I'll pick up that Women's Studies book I've been avoiding, and read it for a while, or until I fall asleep. I'll get up a five A.M., to be at the open gym by six. We all realize how important good health is. Besides, getting up that early to go to the gym and exhaust myself helps me wake up. By eight I have to be to Calculus, so I'd better leave the gym at seven. That way I can stop for a cup of coffee to really help me wake up before the Calculus instructor puts me back to sleep in that tone he has . . . " And on goes the weary web we weave. Here we go again. After all that fun we experienced over the break, at some point, we are expected to get back down to business. For some it will be a simple task. Those people who buy their books three weeks before classes start, so they can have them all read before the course even begins. They love structure. They won't have children if the entire process takes more than nine months, they'll probably return the child to its previous address. And if the child does arrive within the proper structures, you can't help but feel sorry for the kid. Perhaps you should feel sorry for your own, your children are the ones who will end up being good friends with these overly structured children. Nonetheless, it's business as usual. For others, the task of starting this all over again will be fun. Those people who you always see when you're on your way to another class, and they look as if they never go to class. The trick about that, and the reason these people find it all so much fun, is that they end up getting A's and B's in their courses. After all, it's not what we learn, and how we expand our minds, it's how quickly and efficiently we can get a good grade without ever opening up a book. It doesn't matter if close to nothing is put on a retainment level. All that's necessary for a happy life is a slip of paper that says: I did it!!! These people love business; not just their own, everyone's. Then we come to those poor souls who could use a vacation for the rest of their lives. Every time you see them, they have seventeen books in their hands, and they are doing their best to have some time for socialization, but they don't seem to be having much luck with socializing and studying at the same time. These are the people you see locked in those little library rooms on the third floor, head in book, pencil in one hand, highlighter in the other. Searching for all they think is important. And when you buy their used books from the bookstore, the whole thing is highlighted. Just couldn't see it in their heart to leave anything out. Always kind souls. Always getting down to business. The lucky ones again are those who can make a simple transition without a great deal of strain, and yet manage to realize that they too are back down to business. These are sometimes rather complex people, they somehow manage to hold down a job, and take a full load, and have some time for being a person, and some time for being fun. Because, being a person is not always fun. But they do manage, they may get a bit frustrated at times, or maybe even lose their cool, but they always re - compose themselves, and they do seem to enjoy their business. I wonder if that's possible. Perhaps their attitude is a bit lighter and yet a bit more serious than the rest. Maybe more stable in ways. Business needs stability, my father always told me that. These people will probably have a great deal of fun, and get a great deal accomplished, and be a great deal happier than the rest. And if it is stability that does that to these people, I'm going to go and find some. Before I do that though, I have to answer the phone and edit this C0Py > and assign a whole new set of sory - line. I have to get down to business . . . from a new point of view it entertains a curious glow and you want to tell everyone about it. Although not everybody is going to read this, I will do my best to make each issue something worth thinking about. Here's where you as a reader come in. I welcome and encourage any and all feedback whether it is written in the form of a letter to the editor or verbal comments. I feel confident about the future of this column and hope you'll make the reading of it a weekly event.

On the night of December 20, someone entered the office and caused minor damage to a chair, dismantled a table, and destroyed a pillow throughout the office. Much of the other furniture was in disorder According to a photographer who was called in to take pictures "The smaller office, in the back of the larger, outer office was in a shambles." a Both Security and Assistant Chancellor Carla Stoffle were called to decide what had to be done about the situation. Stoffle commented, "We first thought that someone not involved with the university had come in and done the damage. We later found that it was someone from this campus, however no formal complaint has been filed. There aren't any witnesses stepping forward. Charges aren't being brought against anyone." Until a ormal complaint is signed, no cnarges can be pressed. Stoffle continued, "I demanded that restitution be made. The whole act was an inappropriate method of letting off steam, and it was a dumb thing to do." According to the University of Wisconsin Parkside, Conduct on University Lands, Chapter UWS 18, UWS 18.06 subse ction 4^. pertaining to Vandalism, "No person may break, tear up, mar, destroy or deface any notice, tree, vine, shrub, flower or other vegetation, or dislocate any stones, or disfigure natural conditions, or deface, alter, destroy or damage in any other way, any other property, real or personal, within the boundaries of any university lands unless authorized by the chief administrative office." Stoffle's final comment was that these rules of conduct are available at the information centers around the campus. If responsible for damages or misconduct on this campus, ignorance to these rules is not an excuse. DuPree to speak at Roundtable Dr. Louis DuPree, an anthropologist who has been doing research in Pakistan since 1949, will present two public talks during a three - day campus visit Monday through Wednesday, Jan. 24-26. DuPree is associated with University Field Staff International, an association of universities aimed at promoting international understanding. DuPree will open the second semester Social Science Roundtable series with a talk on "Afghan Responses to the 1978 Coup" at 12:15 p.m. in Union Room 104 -106 on Monday, Jan. 24. He will also present a slide - illustrated lecture titled "Pakistan: In the Center of the Storm" at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25 in WLLC 363. "Pakistan has all the problems of a Third World Country — and then some," DuPree points out. Created out of the 1948 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan has constantly struggled to find a national identity. "Half the country broke away in 1971 to form independent Bangladesh, and Pakistan is still plagued with demands for regional autonomy by minority provinces," said DuPree, who earned his PhD at Harvard University and is the author of a number of books. "Three wars with India have left the Kashmir question unsolved and, finally, the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has complicated the strategic picture in South Asia and the Indian Ocean and has left neighboring Pakistan with the largest refugee problem in the world," DuPree said.

Dances will be held on various days of the week this semester. Dance admission for Parkside students is only $l. (Mini Concert admissions may be slightly higher.) The first dance of the semester will feature the new wave music of "Talk of the Town," on Friday, Jan. 21 at 9 p.m. in Union Square. Coffeehouses will also be held on various days of the week throughout the semester in the Union Bazaar. There will be both a daytime and evening show for each performer. The first Coffeehouse will be o n Jan. 26 fro m noon to 2 p.m. and from 8 to 10 p.m. The music of Brian Quam / Downtown/Kenosha Regency Mall/Racine Shop both locations for men's wear Shop downtown Kenosha for women's wear by Jeanne Buenker-Phillips Student Organizations Council (SOC) is by far the largest of UWParkside's major organizations. SOC emb odies about forty - five student clubs as well as an executive board comprised of a vice - chair, Dave Schroeder, and a chair, Carla Thomas. Carla Thomas, as SOC chair, was a ppointed to her position in November when the ex-SOC chair, Steve Kalmar II resigned. At the time of his resignation, Carla was the vice - chair of SOC as well as the chair of SOC's sub - committee, Budget and Review Committee (B&RC). After Carla accepted her new appointment, Dave Schroeder was appointed to vice - chair of SOC and accordingly to chair of B & RC. When asked about Kalmar's resignation and the effect i t had on SOC, Thomas replied, "To be really honest, SOC has not really changed a lot because of his resignation. Attitudes have changed and Kalmar's resignation has sparked the interest of many SOC members." She added that, "It was hard to take over as chair because the members expected a lot." Vice - chair Schroeder, who is a dramatic actor as well as a PSGA SOC: In transition senator, is expected to chair the weekly meetings of B & RC and take Carla's chair if the need arises. B & RC is the only sub -. committee of SOC and is responsible for transferring and re - allocating club money as well as allocating money to newly appointed clubs. Thomas is very pleased with the progress Schroeder and B & RC have made since his appointment in November. Carla believes that, "SOC is at a point where it can either stagnate or grow." She hopes that it grows. She sees it as being, "unlimited in what this group could do f or the University. If we wanted to rally around an issue, we would have much power — even more than student government." Along with hoping for SOC's growth, Carla wants to see the executive board of SOC expand to be more representative of the number of clubs within SOC. She stated, "there is a lot of responsibility for two people. Two people are not representative of forty - five clubs." She would also like to see additional sub - committees created and suggested sub - committees such as Publicity and Fund - raising. Carla is very optimistic and hopes to achieve both goals during the spring semester, although she realizes that that will depend on SOC members. As to future goals for SOC as a whole, she would like to see more group projects. For example, "We (SOC) participate as a whole in both Winter Carnival and Fallfest but do not sponsor many events as a whole." Carla would also like to "try throwing leadership onto the members." She believes that this would help improve the cohesiveness and output of SOC. SOC elections are the third week in February and are followed by a one month transition period. So the new chair and vice - chair will not actually take office until March. When asked if she would be running for chair, Thomas replied "no," and added that she hopes to be graduating soon. She also said that, "SOC needs someone new. We just implemented new guidelines and now SOC needs to move on to a new direction." Carla sees herself as "Idealistic and hopes to pass this on to the next chair." She also added a little free advice to the future SOC: "leadership can only work if membership changes with it." Scholarships for abroad study offered Rotary Foundation educational scholarships for young people for study abroad for academic year 1984 - '85 have been announced by Joseph Ziabicki, Rotary District Governor 627. The awards cover the cost of language instruction, transportation, food, lodging and tuition.

University of Wisconsin-Parkside Thursday, January 20,1983 RANGER Anthro Antics A Swiss citizen views his country by Gina G. Sheppard-Wolthausen Anthropology is said to be a very young science. Scholars have only identified themselves as such for a little over 100 years. But the subject matter of anthropology — customs, social and political organizations, human variation * and race, rituals and human value systems — have interested the learned since before Christ. In the 5th century, Herodutus collected ethnographic descriptions of the Babylonians, Scythians and other Middle Eastern peoples' life styles. Some have called him a historian, but by definition a historian gives an "account of past events" not an analysis of the variations in human populations. In 7 B.C., Strabo, a Greek scholar, began paying particular attention to the relationship between culture and geography. This may have been the birth of Cultural Ecology. During the Middle Ages, Arab scholars began studying the variations in governmental systems and religious practices while the Renaissance saw an increase in archeological research. Anthropology as a science was actually established and defined during the Age of Exploration when the diverse life styles of the world's people were being accumulated. Explorers, such as Christopher Columbus, James Cook and Fray Bernardina de Sahagun, recorded accounts of indigenous peoples that included not only descriptions of the cultures but also the physical types of the people they met. Anthropology's first theorist was a man named Acosta in 1590 AD. He combined actual field observations with cross - cultural comparisons and applied these to theoretical conceptualizations. The precedent for the applied anthropologists was set in 1851 when Lewis Henry Morgan acted as legal counsel for the Iroquois. His ethnographic data and testimony assisted the Iroquois in legally establishing the boundaries for their traditional lands. His data is said to be the first scientific account of an Indian tribe ever given to the world. Today, modern anthropology has a constant emphasis on understanding a culture from the people's point of view while using quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The basic perspective of anthropology remains comparative and holistic.

Ethnic Groups in Afghanistan will be the discussion topic on Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 1 p.m. in Moln. 324. Bring your lunch and your thoughts. by John Kovalic A cold, mountainous land, full of psuedo - Germanic people with a fetish for cleanliness and a taste for chocolates, cheeses and cuckoo clocks, Switzerland did not leave many more impressions on me during a two - day visit there three years ago. What else could you expect from a country just half the size of Maine? What indeed? Herbert Kubly's latest book, "Native's Return," is full of surprises, insights and quality reading. Subtitled "An American of Swiss Descent Unmasks an Enigmatic Land and People," the book is both entertaining and enlightening at the same time. Once begun, it is hard to put down. Kubly, a professor of English, teaches beginning and advanced Creative Writing here. He is the author of ten books, including "An American in Italy," which won the National Book Award in 1956, and "Italy," and "Switzerland," for the Time - Life World Library Series. Kubly is an American of Swiss descent who returns to visit his native land. He sees the country as no tourist could, and what he sees is not the clean, quiet clockmakers, but the unrest and oppression, the quirks and contradictions. Consider: "In an area . . . with boundaries that can be crossed in four hours by train and 20 minutes by jet, a federation of 26 sovereign states p W \\ Save*25. on 14K gold College Rings.

"A country which prides itself in its social enlightenment, Switzerland did not, until 1971, after a long and bitter political battle, grant suffrage to women. In one canton — Appenzel — and in isolated rural communities in Canton Graubunden, women in the present time are still not permitted to vote on cantonal and local issues. "A Swiss is not a citizen of the federation, but of his commune of birth, with patriotism being purely a local matter. This is what is known as 'Kantoli - Geist,' the 'Little Canton Sprit,' and leads to jealousy and rivalry. A local Lucerne joke about a man from Uri, where baths are, according to the rest of the country, not popular, tells of him keeping a goat in his parlor. When asked of the problem of smell he replies: "After a while the goat gets used to it." Kubly also deals with the myth that Switzerland is a placid country. He writes: "Since I have been in Switzerland anarchists' (A catch - all epithet which the Swiss use for all categories of rebels and protestors), have bombed the Police Station and City Hall, and Arab terrorists shot up an Israeli plane in the Zurich airport. In February a disgruntled employee set fire to the Zurich central telephone office and a third of the city was without phone service for a month. "A student demonstration, displaying blood - red paint and Red Chinese flags, provoked high public indignation. 'How is it possible that something like this could happen in Switzerland?' asked a banker." The book provides a fascinating insight into a country and its inhabitants, and provides arresting reading, drawn from Kubly's experiences as a citizen of Elm, a small mountain town where his ancestors lived before emigrating to America. The book is an arresting portrait of a land torn between tradition and modernism, a people in upheaval. I can strongly recommend "Native's Return" to just about anyone. Next time I go to Switzerland I hope to see, as Kubly has, more than just mountains and clocks. 1635 50th St., Kenosha 654-6382 THE SPINNING WHEEL LIVE LOUNGE MUSIC Every Saturday Night NO COVER EARLY BIRD SPECIAL 25710 oz.

"The Verdict" and "Tootsie" stand out as the finest of the lot, but just about everything else left me cold Last Christmas we had "Reds" and Ragtime," and I was hoping for films equally good this year Maybe I was hoping for too much' Another thing that bothered me about the Christmas films was their lack of realism, especially emotional realism. Hollywood seems to have gauged the fact that many Americans are out of work and depressed, so they have given us fantasy (Dark Crystal) screwball comedy (The Toy, Kiss Me Goodbye), or films about Hollywood movie people and / or New York theater people (Best Friends, Tootsie). No one in these films seems to be out of work or have any financial problems — in fact, most seem to be rich. Emotional unrealism is evidenced in a film like "Six Weeks." But I'll let my other reviewer talk about that. In fact, there are three critics in all covering the Christmas movies. Me, veteran critic Rick Luehr, and newcomer Dave Schroeder. Tootsie Dustin Hoffman stars as Michael Dorsey, an unemployed actor who decides to seek employment as an actress, Dorothy Michaels. Michael / Dorothy lands a lead role in a soap opera, and quickly becomes nationally famous. But he falls in love with one of his co - stars (Jessica Lange), and here is where much of the film's humor is derived. Hoffman shines in his double role — a s Michael he plays a tempermental, "difficult" actor, i.e., himself. As Dorothy he is perfect — he looks , talks, he is a woman. Halfway through the film Dorothy becomes a totally separate personality, and the Michael character fades into the background. This is what is so superb about Hoffman's performance. I actually ended up caring more about Dorothy than Michael. Jessica Lange climbs out from under the heavy stigma of "King Kong" with her fine performance as Hoffman's co - star. I was riveted by her beauty and her on - screen chemistry. "Tootsie" gets highest recommendations. Best Friends "Best Friends" starred Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn as two screenwriters in Hollywood who decide to take the big step and get married, after having lived together five years. They then decide to visit their parents, first Goldie's in Buffalo, then Burt's in Virginia. These scenes are the best in the film. Goldie's parents live in an old brownstone — the y are quiet, reserved, conservative people. Burt's parents live in a huge condominium, and are boisterous, loud. The contrast between the parents is interesting. But as Burt and Goldie see more of their parents' lives, they become less sure of their own marriage. Eventually, when they get back to California, they break up, only to have a tearful reunion. Fine. Now here is my problem with the film. It has no life. It has no spark. It makes many good points about love and marriage, but it is so bogged down in its own inaction that we don't care. I never really cared about the characters or what happened to them — I never really laughed much — yet the film is supposed to be a love story and a comedy. The biggest problem of t he film is its script — it is utterly boring. The second problem is that Goldie Hawn and Burt Reynolds are such big superstars that I have trouble believing their characters. They really don't act in this film — they just recite lines. They are both good actors, but their hearts were not in this material. Their characters are bland, faceless beings who seem to have no distinguishing traits whatsoever. The script was bland, the acting was just as bland, this is a dead film that portends to be about life. Kiss Me Goodbye "Kiss Me Goodbye" was a bit better. Sally Field, James Caan and Jeff Bridges star in this fantasy - comedy about a woman who is about to marry her second husband when she discovers that the ghost of her first husband has come back to, well, haunt her. Sally Field plays the somewhat air - brained bride - to - be who has to actually choose between her dead husband and her fiance. This isn't a tough role for her, but she adds warmth and dimension to an otherwise unreal personality. James Caan is very good as the dead husband, a snide, sarcastic, funny man. He should be good — he's played this role before. Jeff Bridges is also excellent in his small role as Sally Field's future husband. This movie isn't supposed to be deep, and it isn't. The characters are all interesting, and I actually cared about them. That is a feat for such an unreal comedy. "Kiss Me Goodbye" was enjoyable enough. No Oscar contender here, but a fun film. I must reiterate — I liked "Tootsie" and "Kiss Me Goodbye," but neither had the emotional impact of last year's "Reds" or "Ragtime." Of course, "Tootsie" was not meant to be a serious drama. But I think we need more dramas — we h ave so many comedies, many of them mediocre. by Dave Schroeder Hi, I'd like to tell you about some of the movies that I saw over the Christmas break, but first I'd like to tell you about the way I'll be rating them. I will use the basic star method that one sees in the morning papers (Chicago Tribune, Sun Times, etc.). You know, **** equals excellent, *** equals good, ** equals below average, and * is the pits. This way, you can decide if you want to see the movies that I didn't like on $1.50 nig ht, if I didn't carve it up too badly. Enough about the rating system, how 'bout them movies? One Dark Night First, I'd like to start with a horror flick called "One Dark Night." Meg Tilly, whom you might remember as Matt Dillon's girlfriend in "Tex," stars as a teenage girl who doesn't always want to be known as a nice girl, so she tries to join a gang. The leader of the gang, played by Robin Evans, decides that the best initiation for the new girl would be to spend the night in the town mausoleum, drugged up on Demerol, while two other girls in the gang dress up in ghastly masks to torment her. But, alas, unknown to these helpless girls, the recently laid to rest body of an evil but telekinetic man is also in that mausoleum. The evil man then brings all the other corpses to life to scare the Continued On Page Six RANGER BASKETBALL & POST GAME ENTERTAINMENT FOLLOWING THE: Jan. 20 uw PARKSIDE UW WHITEWATER GAME BAND UNION SQUARE 9:00 PM $3.00 AT THE DOOR — OR — BASKETBALL TICKET EXC HANGE ADM.

Meanwhile, the evil man's daughter, played by Melissa Newman, discovers her father's plot, through a tape that is played to her and her own telepathic powers. She goes to save the day, despite her husband's objections (played by Adam West, who, coincidentally, delivers his lines in such a way that you expect him to slide down the Batpole the minute she leaves the house.) Are you laughing yet? If not, wait until you see the special effects. None of them even look remotely real, and they often caused the audience to burst out in fits of laughter. The dialogue was inane, the plot was confusing and ridiculous. There were not any scares whatsoever, although the director tried every cheap trick in the book, so I find this movie barely worth one star. * Six Weeks One of the biggest disappointments of the year was "Six Weeks." Not even the talents of acting heavyweights Mary Tyler Moore and Dudley Moore could save this movie from its script. The story revolves around a millionairess and her dying daughter. The daughter, played by Katherine Healy, after meeting candidate for the U.S. Senate Dudley Moore, introduces him to her mother, Mary Tyler Moore. Dudley immediately falls in love with her, and announces to his wife that he has to spend his time with these two ladies, rather than his own family. Most of the rest of the film deals in sappy little scenes of these three pledging love to each other until you become nauseous. The film's basic problem is that it doesn't give you any characters that you can care about. Mary Tyler Moore's character is very austere. Katherine Healy can dance beautifully, but her character is so spoiled that you want to have a chance to throttle her before she has the chance to die on you; and Dudley Moore's character wisecracks so much that you can't take him seriously. There is one scene that is worth seeing. Near the end of the movie, Katherine Healy gets to dance "The Nutcracker," and while the way she gets to do it is totally unbelievable, the dance is exquisite, and almost makes the movie worth seeing on dollar night. Overall, however, the movie tried too hard to make you cry, and never made your eyes water, so I have to say no tears, and two stars for "Six Weeks." ** The Verdict One of the finest films of the year is "The Verdict," starring presents Student's Special Dinner Includes: one chicken, pork, beef or shrimp dish with rice, cookie and tea All for s2.95 with 4 or more orders and Parkside I.D. any time Whey Chai Chinese Kestaurant 400 Main St., Racine Visit the lion Whey Chai Restaurant 2683 Sheridan Road Je ODliie 0weet In The Parkside Union FEATURING YOUR FAVORITE CANDY, NUTS AND SNACKS SOLD THE OLD FASHIONED WAY JANUARY SPECIAL FREE ]A Lb. Sampler With Any Purchase of $1.00 or More Paul Newman. Yes, just as you have heard, Paul Newman has turned in his finest performance to date. He plays a down and out, alcoholic lawyer who has one last chance to prove to himself, as well as the rest of the world, that he is worth something. Although he is complimented by one of the strongest supporting casts of the year (James Mason, Charlotte Rampling, and Jack Warden, to name a few), Mr. Newman shines in his finest hour. His most superb moments are when he does not even say a word, he just sits and thinks. Not only are the performances strong, but David Mamet's screenplay is flawless, and what probably led to the fine performances was the skillful direction by Sidney Lumet. His imaginative use of camera angles and silence in the film really brought it to life. This is one of the quietest films you'll ever see. I have heard some people say that this film was slow. At times, nothing is happening in the film, and this is because there is nothing happening in the attorney's life. Because he is doing nothing to turn his life around, it is frustrating to the spectator, and therefore very powerful. And through the final court scenes, in the quiet courtroom, one's heart pounds just as fast as it did in any of the chase scenes in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Yes, the only thing "The Verdict" is guilty of is being one of the finest courtroom dramas of all time. **** by Rick Luehr The Toy "The Toy" was a fairly amusing Christmas offering. The film, based on a French film with the same title, was the story of Jack Brown, who is "bought" by a rich man's son. The son has been promised by his father, to pick out anything for Christmas. The film then details the pranks that the boy pulls on Jack, and the love that develops between them. Jackie Gleason and Richard Pryor were very good in their roles, as was Wilfred Hyde - White, one of my favorite character actors, as the butler. The one character that I didn't care for at all was the "German" nanny. Her feeble attempts at a German accent came no closer to Germany than Brooklyn. The main problem that "The Toy" had was that it tried to do too much. It tried not only to be a slapstick comedy, but a sensitive film about the growing attachment between Jack and the boy, and a socially relevant film as well. If it had committed itself to one of these types I feel that it would have been a much better film. Airplane II: The Sequel One of the major disappointments of the Christmas season was "Airplane II: The Sequel." The first fifteen minutes were fairly promising. Then, however, things got bad, and the movie deteriorated rapidly to jokes about such "hilarious" subjects as rape, beastiality, and beating the mentally ill. Most of the gags were exact copies of gags used in "Airplane." Of course, I shouldn't have expected much, seeing that the script was written by Ken Finkleman, whose only previous credit, and use that term loosely, was the screenplay for "Grease II." It seems to me that Mr. Finkleman is on the verge of a brilliant career writing cheap, derivative, rip - off sequels to successful films. Dark Crystal One of the best, if not THE best, films of the Christmas season is the "Dark Crystal." This epic fantasy created by "Star Wars" producer Gary Kurtz and father of the Muppets Jim Henson, tells the story of a land populated by strange and wonderful creatures including the human - like Gelflings, and the evil, vulture - like Skeksis. A young Gelfling named Jen, supposedly the last of his kind, is given the mission of returning the missing shard of the so - called Dark Crystal, and return the land to good. The main obstacle to Jen's mission is the fact that the Crystal is in the possession of the Skeksis. Jen embarks on a journey across the wilderness to the Skeksis castle, meeting various creatures, including another Gelfling. Mr. Kurtz and Mr. Henson have created a world that is totally unique and absolutely breathtaking. Located in the Union Bazaar Directly Across from the Info. Ctr. FOR DETAILS STOP DOWN PARKSIDE ONION REC CENTER Fun with Dick: Bitchin ' bout books by Dick Oberbruner I love buying books. I love working my butt off to pay for tuition and then scraping for book money. We're all born in debt anyway, right? Nowadays, paying the same for books as tuition makes sense because, as students, our education is worth it. The book prices are nice. I'm glad my millionaire uncle died and left me sole heir to his will. Used books have a homey quality: passed through many hands, marked by many pens, sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Priceless. That's why I don't mind paying the down home prices. Hardcover books are my favorites. They really thin out my wallet quick. It's so cumbersome walking with a pocket full of twenties. Of course, I could write a check, but it would bounce to Timbuktu. An extra treat is the flimsy bag. After unloading the books the poor thing resembles something attacked by an angry cat. This leads to nicks and bent pages (lowering the return value). I was smart this year. I brought two - ply grocery store bags. But just like a carry - out boy and bread, the attendent put the paperbacks on the bottom and were smashed. Some classes have several books as required reading. Great. This rids me of my money sooner. I would much rather force feed five tastey novels than show detailed concern with one classic. Skimming is easier than reading an entire book. I get the satisfaction of turning every page even though I don't quite understand the material nor test too well on it. Some books do not arrive until mid - semester. Some not at all. This is easier for the serious minded student. We can place full concentration on the books we do have. When the books arrive, we'd be happy to zip right through them in order to get that C plus. If all else fails, there is summer school. To get my money's worth this semester, I'll have to read each book five or six times. No problem. This assures me of a high grade point average and two hours of sleep every night. No doubt the attendents put in long hours of preparation for the ten minutes it takes to gather and charge us hundreds of dollars. They don't appear to sympathize with us at all. Poker faces. I went through three without hearing one "have a nice day." They don't realize I just robbed a bank in order to pay. Banks tighten up security when a new semester begins. I caught a friend cussing at the buildings. He spent $100 o n three books. He should vent his frustrations more appropriately, like jogging. When I return my books at semester's end, I hope to receive at least half of the million I spent. I have a future to be concerned with. Wait, there's a better idea. Rather than exchanging our books for cash let's pile them up and have a bonfire. A Fahrenheit 451 protest. We'll show that bookstore. They're not taking control of my knowledge. In the past I bought books from stores like Goodwill. Their books are too cheap now. It is simply outrageous to pay a quarter for a musty ol' book that took a half hour to find when it only takes five minutes for an attendent to find a new $20 hardcover edition.

Goodwill games provide excitement Thursday, January 20, 1983 by Tori Murray Sports Editor Guess what I did Saturday night? I went to a track meet Big deal, right? Well, it was for'me This wasn't any track meet THIS was The Second Annual Goodwill Allstate Life Games. This meet was the opening meet for many premier track athletes. I spent the entire meet in awe as I saw in person the athletes that I have admired and read about in running magazines for years It was a thrill seeing world record holder in the long jump Carl Lewis jump to a victory. I made sure I saw high jumper Dwight Stone's every jump, I had heard so much about this outspoken athlete. The names were so impressive Hurdlers Greg Foster, Candy Young, Stephanie Hightower, and American record holder Gwen Gardener. There were two names though that, for me personally, made the meet. Evelyn Ashford and Jim Heiring. Evelyn Ashford has been a top name in the track and field world since I began running. She is Runner's World pick for the '84 Olympics in the 200 meter sprint and the 100 meter sprint. On Saturday night, Ashford ran the 50 meter dash. A dynamic personality as well as competitor, Ashford finished in 6.16 seconds in the trials, quite a few tenths of a second under the other athletes. The finals were much closer, but Ashford showed her usual form and came out the winner. After her races, she waved and blew kisses to the 6,156 fans that were on hand to watch the exciting competition in the Rosemont Horizon. As I sat in the press box, I could not believe what I saw! Right before my very eyes, I saw an American record smashed. Former Parkside walker Jim Heiring bettered the American record by 27 seconds in the men's 3000 meter walk. His time was 11:32.15. I still can't get over it. Ski jumping championships i n Westby And to think I rode there in the same van as this world class athlete. Heiring holds American and world walking records in five distances: l mile, 1500 meters, 2 miles, 3000 meters and 5000 meters. He is a former Olympian and is a member of Parkside's Hall of Fame. "The crowd was great! I am happy with my performance and the American record because I feel I am still not in top racing form. I feel stronger now than I did last year and hopefully that is a good sign. My training is going well and with a little luck I will be ready to walk against the East Germans again this summer," commented the modest Heiring on the record. Before the meet, as we were preparing to leave I overheard Heiring say something about the first meet always being the worst. Looks like he didn't have anything to worry about.

The crowd left disappointed as Northern Michigan defeated Parkside 76-68. The Rangers started quickly, opening up a 20-9 lead midway through the first half, but Northern Michigan closed the gap to 36-31 at the half. Both teams played evenly through most of the second half, until about five minutes to go, when Northern Michigan pulled even after Parkside missed the front of five bonus situation free throws. Northern Michigan took the lead for the first time with about four minutes to play, then held on for the win. Brian Diggins of Parkside led all scorers with 29 points; Sean Patterson added 18 points. Northern Michigan had five players in double figures, led by Franz Jenkin's 17 points. It should be noted that two players are ineligible to play for the second semester; Jay Rundies, the leading scorer at the beginning of the year, and Harlan SPORT NEWS Hill, the floor general and assist leader. The loss of these two players is a blow to the team, so the Rangers will have to work hard to make up for them. I'm sure, though, that Coach Johnson will work something out. Good luck in the second half, guys. WRESTLING Winter Carnival Sculptures should be built in the court area between the Comm Arts building and the concourse.

The Winter Carnival Committee hopes that all will enjoy the upcoming events. by Maureen Burke The Parkside wrestling team was very busy over Christmas vacation. The team competed in four meets — two were tournaments. Most recently the team competed in the Midwest Classic championships in Indianapolis, IN on Jan. 14-15. The Rangers won the 17 - school tournament. The team won 29 of 37 matches. The Rangers certainly outclassed second place team Carson - Newman, from Tennessee. They finished 39-1/2 points ahead of them. Some outstanding wrestlers for Parkside were Mike Vania (126) and Mike Muckerheide (158) who won titles in their weight classes. Mike Winter also won a title at 132 pounds. Mike Vania was named the tournament's outstanding wrestler. He won the 126 l b. title by winning 3 matches including a pin in the championship match. MEN'S TRACK The Parkside men's indoor track season has begun. The team consists of twelve men, mostly freshmen, but there are a couple of juniors and seniors. The team has been concerned mostly with middle distance events. The half - mile, mile and 2 mile events. The goal for the indoor season is to compete in the indoor championship Feb. 25-26 in Kansas City, MO. To qualify they have to compete in a two - mile relay and do well. So far this season the team has competed in three open meets. One individual expected to perform well this season is John Anderson who is a pole vaulter. Most of the other team members are in the range of middle distance and they will add substance to the team. Coach Lucian Rosa commented, "If they qualify for the indoor championship in Kansas City, they will do well for the outdoor season."
