UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Vol. 12, No. 16 University of Wisconsin-Parkside Advising changes recommended by Jennie Tunkieicz News Editor The Coordinating Council on General Education (CCGE) approved the proposal to recommend to the Administrative Council that an Academic Assistance Center be established. \ The entire proposal contains three documents: a description and a statement of the function of the Academic Assistance Center, a description of how such an advising system would be implemented in conjunction with the proposed new admissions policy, and a proposed policy for the UWP Faculty Senate. The whole of the document must be approved by the Academic Policies Committee (APC), and the last document must be approved by the Administrative Council and adopted by the Faculty Senate before the Academic Assistance Center can be implemented and become operational. The purpose of an Academic Assistance Center is primarily to serve as a centralized location where students who have an undeclared major or area of interest can go to be advised by trained volunteer faculty members. After the student has declared a major or area of interest, he/she would be assigned to an advisor in the respective department, which does not differ from the current Parkside advising system. The Center would also provide support to those volunteer faculty members, as well as provide continuous orientations to keep them aware of departmental changes and university requirements. Arthur Dudycha, Chariman of the CCGE Advising Subcommittee, said, "Although this isn't the ideal plan, it is certainly a step in the right direction." Dudycha said that a "tremendous number of hours" have gone nto developing the policy which has been in the works since September. Professors David Beach continued to page 3 Vice Chancellor candidates Vice Chancellor candidate Michael Riccards (left) and Search and Screen committee chairman Ron Pavalko held an open meeting with students Monday. The second of the five finalists, Marvin Loflin, will hold an open meeting with students on Wednesday, Feb. 1 in Union 207 f rom 1-2 p'.m. Corporate sponsorship committee established A committee has been established to help determine the status of individual events that require corporate sponsorship. The issue of corporate sponsorship reached its pinnacle when administrators said that certain sponsorships — specifically those by beer companies — might be turned down in the future. PSGA President Jeanne Buenker-Phillips and Vice President Mike Scoon met with Assistant Chancellor Carla Stoffle last week to discuss the issue and set up the committee that will formulate guidelines concerning corporate sponsorship. The three-member committee will be comprised of Coordinator of Student Activities Buddy Couvion and Executive Committee members of SOC (Student Organization Council) and PAB (Parkside Activities Board). The committee will submit its recommended guidelines within a month to the PSGA Senate and Chancellor Alan Guskin for approval. The actions of the standing committee, which will have the same make-up as the formulating committee, will be forwarded to the Chancellor or his designee, said Scoon. INSIDE... "Final" decision irks psych, students Joffrey ballet to perform Overlooked movies of 1983 Message boards bring news to campus / ' v " * , 10 • > C* s < - , - v r ., Women's volleyball team tours Germany Alcohol survey The Union administration is considering changing policies concerning alcoholic beverages on campus, because when the new drinking age effect takes July 1, many students at Parkside will be under the age to consume alcohol. No definite plans have been agreed upon as yet, and the Union administration is taking student input on what would be the best solution to the upcoming problem. The Parkside Union Advisory Board will also be discussing the issue next week. The tentative plan is to discontinue the serving of pitchers of beer, 20 ounce beers and carafes of wine in an attempt to keep people from "sharing" alcohol with underage drinkers. Other plans include limiting each patron to only one alcoholic drink purchased each trip the bar, and for the bartenders to ID patrons more regularly. In order to measure student reaction to these proposed policies, Ranger is conducting the following survey. The three questions deal specifically with the discontinuation of the large-size alcoholic beverages. There is also space available for any ideas, suggestions or comments that you might have. Now is the time that students can have some input. If you don't do it now, don't complain later. • •••••••'•• 1.

I agree 100 pe rcent with "name withheld" over the issue of the Psychology 260 class. I must also add that he wasn't as angry as I! Mr. Pavalko has no empathy over this matter, whatsoever. I sat through all of t hose weeks in a class where attendance was mandatoryas well as our tuition payment. I bought the required books, I read the required material. I met every requirement of this class-I even waited an hour to hear that there was no final. My gripe with you, Mr. Pavalko, is that you c an't work out a basic final for us students who study extensively for our finals. We need action. Carolyn Thompson Ranger appreciated To the Editor I would like to commend you on your efforts to make the Ranger the best paper in the UW System. I think that John Kovalic is one of the best feature editors. I think that students should write more letter to show everyone that other things can help. I really enjoy the classisection. Rick Luehr's "psychoible" article is very funny and entertaining! The whole staff does a terrific job at what they do. I am looking for ward to writing more letters in the future to tell you what I like and dislike. I'm also going to continue to write more classifieds during the remainder of this semester. Ken Meyer, I think that you're one of the best editors that the Ranger has ever had! I just wish that there would be a lot more music and movie reviews. So keep up the good wo rk! U. W. Pa rkside students need to know what jhey reacl- Joey Traughber Write a letter to Ranger CORRECTION Julian Brown was incorrectly identified as a member of the Gospel Truth Crusaders in last week's front page picture. Brown, a drama major at Parkside, spoke at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Commemorative prorgram on January 16. Times sure are changing Times-they are a'changing, even at ol' Parkside. When I first attended this prairie university in the fall of 1979, the apathy ran rampant but so did the fun for those few students who got involved. Now, the apathy runs rampant but the few involved students don't have nearly as much fun. Let me explain... Then, as now, there are not 50 eve nts happening at the same time to choose from in order to find some fun. But in those days students who wanted to could easily find something to have fun with. Take for example the men's basketball games. In those days the team had its infamous "Chicago connection" that made the program look as respectable as a streetwalker standing under a red light. But we didn't care. Our team kicked ass as well as the best of them. That's why the home games had a pep band, a group known as the Rambunctious Ranger Rowdies (mostly Ranger staff members) and a regular following from the major student organization members. While these glory days of fan participation are long gone, one reminder is still with us-the Geritol Dixieland band that plays in Union Square after the games. It's a good band...the first time, the fifth time, the eighth time and the thirteenth time. Speaking of Union Square, let's bring up the Winter Carnival and the administrative policies concerning alcohol on campus. If 1979 r epresented day, 1984 is far worse than night. A t otal eclipse is more like it. The first full-fledged Winter Carnival was in February 1980. (Ranger won that competition along with the following year's, but has since fallen away, showing that apathy hits everywhere.) In those days the Union ran a special that wouldn't even be considered now — a 32 ounce mug of beer. Pay $1.75 or so for the full mug and get refills all Winter Carnival week for only around a buck. Now administrators want to get rid of pitchers and 20 ounce beers because of the impending doom caused by Ken Meyer by the 19 year old drinking age. Is nothing sacred anymore? Winter Carnival has always been fun, especially when Ranger was winning. The only major change now is that the opening parade is running in the opposite direction- leading away from the Union instead of ending up there to drink 32 ounce mugs of beer. The Winter Carnival parade also now disallows the use of motorized vehicles. That seems to make sense, however, remembering how the Ranger filled the Concourse with exhaust fumes add noise pollution on our way to victory ...and the Union for our 32 ounce mugs of beer. But everything must change sooner or later. Even Ranger followed this depressing scenario. The days of competition with other student organizations (be it football, basketball or volleyball) are long gone. So are the days of weekly migrating to the Union to socialize and espouse life's meaningless moments. Back then we tried to do it every day that ended with the letter "y."

RANGER YMCA Study atmosphere promoted by John Kovalic Ranger Hall, the Racine YMCA that doubles as Parkside's only dormitory accommodation, has implemented new policies geared toward a new academic emphasis for students. "We're trying to get more of a study-type of atmosphere," said Jose Yamat, a Ranger Hall Residence Assistant. "Last semester there were many low GPA's. It was decided that it was a function of the school to serve students' educational needs foremost, and that's what we're trying to do now." One of the guidelines concerns the "quiet hours" on the student floors. Since the YMCA began operating Ranger Hall, these hours were designated to begin at 11 p.m., and earlier during finals. "The new hours start at 9 every night," said Yamat, "and we'll be stricter on the enforcement of the hours this semester as well. We shouldn't hear any noise in the halls after this time." Students will be able to take advantage of a study hall that has been established from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. An RA will be on duty there for most of that time to "keep things quiet," Yamat said. Along with stricter enforcement of these policies, the YMCA will also be providing incentives to the residents. "The person with the most improved GPA will get a reward, like a sort of candy, really. Only the incentive will either be $100 off your next semester's rent or a gift certificate for the same amount if the person is leaving," said Yamat. "It's a sort of goal for the students," he added. A th ird policy change is to make the RAs themselves more noticeable. The RA on duty will spend two hours every night at the front desk when many of the residents will be returning from Parkside. "We want people to see the RAs as soon as they get in," said Yamat. Also the RAs want people to come to them more often, without going to the YMCA a dministration right away. "I suppose it's just a need of the RAs to feel more independent," commented Yamat, "and to take on more of the responsibility themselves." The RAs will not hold mandatory meetings once a week to discuss problems and ideas. "Overall, we want to improve communications and relationships," said Yamat, "and make living here more comfortable for everyone." Union gate closing changed by Jill Whitney Nielsen There will soon be a new policy in effect at UW-P concerning the gate between Molinaro and the Union concourse. Although most of the buildings stay open until midnight, the Union building closes at 11 p.m. The change was made two years ago due to a slack in business after 11 p.m. in the Union Square and Rec Center, causing some students to be either locked in or out of the rest of the building at strange times. Bill Niebuhr, Director of the Union, explained that the gates are locked at 11 pm. for security reasons. There have been vandalism and some break-ins in the past, including a major one at the Union Information desk. As part of their nightly duties, the Student Union supervisors lock the gates, usually after the Union Square has closed, although some students have found the gate locked much earlier. Niebuhr was apprised of this problem and stated, "That's one thing we can do something about." He further added that after the Square and the Rec Center close, the students have no real reason to be in the building. , "If we wanted to keep the gates open past 11 (for the convenience of those students who don't want to wait outside,) it would cost between $750 and $1200 to keep an employee over," said Niebuhr. That money would come from segretated fees. would come from segretated fees. After much discussion between Niebuhr and Mike Menzhuber, Rec Center manager, a compromise was reached. It was decided that Union supervisors will wait until all students leave the Union Square and Rec Center before locking the gates. It was also suggested that the duty of locking the gate be made the last on the supervisor's list. This compromise should rectify most of the problems students have encountered. The only other problem would be with student organizations in either building who choose to work late. This will be rectified by sending memos out to the individual organizations informing them of the new policy. International Studies major developed How do foreign countries view America's increasingly tough military posture? Are the world's nations moving toward a single, international economy? Why is it important for persons of various countries to be aware of fundamental cultural differences that might influence, and seriously impede, cross-cultural communication? Those are the kinds of questions being probed in the newly organized International Studies major at Parkside. - Authorized three years ago by the UW System Board of Regents, the program has been expanded, both academically and in terms of efforts to bring the examination of internationally important topics to residents of Kenosha and Racine. The international studies major is being offered at UW-Parkside with four areas of specialization: European civilization, developing nations, international relations and world cultures. Although only a small number of students have officially declared international studies as their major, the program is the source of increasing interest by business majors and other interested in fortifying their studies with a solid knowledge of world affairs. John Harbeson, program coordinator and Parkside political science professor, said efforts are underway in cooperation with local school systems to promote the study of international topics in local primary and secondary schools. Overseas study programs for Parkside students currently are being explored, and additional "outreach" projects including community presentations by faculty and workshops on matters of international concern are being planned. "It's a multi-disciplinary effort," Harbeson said. "And that's how it should be. We've got 45 faculty members representing the humanities, business, science, the social and behavioral sciences and the arts participating in the program. There's a wealth of expertise on this campus that can be applied to international studies and we're harvesting in it." A survey currently is being conducted among Parkside faculty and staff-many of whom have lived and worked abroad-to determine professional and personal backgrounds that could contribute to the study of world affairs. Harbeson said the increasing inter-dependence of nations make an international studies program more important than ever. "Also, however, from a career standpoint, a grasp of international issues is extremely important," he said. "It's hard to think of a career today that doesn't have some kind of an international connection." For more information on the program call Harbeson at 553-2612. Ranger photo by Michael . Kailas. The recent cold spell brought about scenic beauty around the Parkside campus. Computer back on line by Pat Zirkelbach It was the "first problem for a length of time." That was a brief description of the situation last week at the Computer Center by the Center's Director, William Misamore. The main computer, a Digital Equipment Corporation PDP- 11/70, stopped working when a disc drive made by the System Industries failed late Sunday night. The problem was discovered Monday morning when the Computer Center started for the semester. A System Industry repair man was called in from Madison who worked on the problem to no avail. Tuesday, more parts were ordered from Chicago but those also didn't help. Tuesday night, Tom Leih, Systems Programmer at the Computer Center, called a System Industry manager in California for help. Wednesday morning more SI repairmen came in and started loading a diagnostic program onto a back-up tape drive, which also broke down. Since the tape drive was not made by System Industry, another repairman had to be called in from Chicago. After he assessed the problem, more parts were ordered from Milwaukee. Again System Industry's program was loaded and once again the tape drive failed. The DEC repairman ordered parts from California and by Thursday the tape drive was running, allowing the other repairmen to begin on the original problem. Friday morning the drive failed again and System Industry was called once more. Finally the drive was repaired and as of Monday it was running and available for normal use. "The PDP-11 is up 98 percent of the time and is quite reliable," stated Misamore. "The last time anything of these proportions happened^ it only lasted for three days." Advising continued from page 1 and Michael Bassis played key roles in developing this policy. Dudycha feels that the Academic Assistance Center, if approved, could be in operation by the fall semester. "The Center needs to be in operation in the fall if the plan to implement the new admissions policy the following year is approved. This way the wrinkles and kinks can be smoothed out," said Dudycha. If t he proposed admissions policy is approved, those students who would be placed under Conditional Admissions would be advised by Educational Services and not the Academic Assistance Center until they are moved to a Standard Admissions category. "The goal of the university is the retention of students. Hopefully this (the implementation of the Academic Assistance Center) will do a better job of directing students, which will keep thefii from feeling lost in the cracks," added Dudycha. RANGER Students unhappy with "final" options by Bob Kiesling Students in Dan Poulson's Psychology of Personality class, after waiting for more than an hour for their professor to show up for the final last semester, found out they weren't going t o have a final. Poulson, a psychology department lecturer who was teaching the class, had attempted to take his own life, apparently the night before. One of the students finally went to the psychology department and told the department that Poulson was not there. The class was visited by Ronald Pavalko, chairman of the Behavioral Sciences Division, and David Beach, the psychology department's program coordinator, who said they spoke with the students to discuss the options. "We were even more confused than the students," said Beach. "We tried to reach Dr. Poulson. We didn't know what was happening." Finally, Beach and Pavalko decided that the students would be offered four options: to take the midterm grade as the grade for the course; to receive credit for the course with no grade, to retake the course without charge, or drop the course. Beach said the department's idea "was to try to offer to the students every viable alternative we could think of within the constraints we had." Some of the students, however, disagree. Several have said that the options and said they had special requirements that made all options unacceptable. "Granted, this is a unique situation," said John Allen, one of the students. "It looks like they just didn't want to deal with it," he said. "Administratively, it all looks neat and fine." He said that one of the possible options mentioned by Beach, to retake the exam at a different time, "would have been fine." Beach and Pavalko had mentioned that as a possible option to the class. However, Beach said, at that time, to the best of the department's knowledge, Poulson did not prepare a final. It would have been unfair to the student, he said, because the department does not know, specifically, which material Poulson had covered. Vet stress subject of study The Veterans Administration has announced plans to conduct a major study of the extent of posttraumatic stress disorder and other readjustment problems among Vietnam-era veterans. VA Administration Harry N. Walters said the mdepth study will be the first of its kind to examine the post-war readjustment problems of Vietnam-era veterans-male and female-on a nation- wide basis. VA issued a request for proposal for the study from private contractors on January 20. Mandated by Congress under Public Law 98-160, the study will include both veterans who served in the Vietnam theater and those who did not, as well as a comparison group of n on-veterans. The survey will focus on veterans who now have or have had readjustment problems and those who made the transition to civilian life with little or no difficulty. It will be designated to provide data on the psychological and social aspects of Vietnam veterans' lives, with particular attention to female veterans and service-connected veterans. The VA als o intends the study to develop data regarding post-war psychological proble ms among veterans from minority groups, veterans with physical disabilities, veterans with substance-abuse problems and incarcerated veterans. VA is required to submit to Congress a report on the findings of the study by October 1, 1986. Findings should assist VA in planning fo r the future needs of Vietnam-era veterans in the area of readjustment counseling. Data should also promote an increased understanding of the nature of post-traumatic stress disorder. Interested parties may obtain a copy of the request for proposal by submitting a written request to Mark B. Franklin, Contracting Officer, VA Procurement Service (93A), Office of Procurement and Supply, 810 Vermont Avenue N.W., Washington DC 20420. Responses to solicitation must be received at the above address no later than April 19. A pre-bid conference for prospective bidders will be held at 9 a.m. on February 21 in VA Central Office, Room 119. ' CHAMP cited exemplary Parkside's CHAMP program , designed to encourage and motivate minority high school youth to prepare for post-secondary education has been cited as exemplary by the National Commission on Excellence in Education. The citation is the result of a national study of 3,30 0 post-secondary institutions by the commission which analyzed, among other areas, cooperative programs between high schools and universities that facilitate the transition of s tudents from secondary to post-secondary education. An article about the study that included a description of Par kside's CHAMP program appeared in the December issue of the American Association for Higher Education (AAHE) Bulletin magazine. Parkside was one of 17 U.S. universities, colleges, community colleges and technical schools cited in the AAHE re port. About 600 stud ents currently are enrolled in CHAMP (which stands for Creating Higher Aspirations and Motivations Program), which was established in 1979. The four-year program consists of stu dents in 9th through 12th grades who attend sixweek summer sessions at Parkside which include educational workshops, career and personal counseling, and field trips. Close contact is maintained with the CHAMP students, their parents and counselors during the regular school year. Teachers and counselors in Racine and Kenosha schools identify participating students who have potential for academic success. About 300 8th g raders from the two communities have been attending twoday CHAMP orientation sessions at Parkside the last two weeks. About half of these are expected to join the program as 9th graders next fall. Pizza winner Student John Enderle won himself a pizza last week by b eing the first person to notice an error in the Housing Office poster distributed throughout the campus. The Housing office sponsored the contest and Heritage Food Service donated the pizza. Enderle reported the misspelling of the word "roommates" within an hour of the distribution of the Ranger announcing the contest. "I really feel strongly that they should try to be generous," said another student who asked not to be named because he/she is seeking an appeal. The student said that Pavalko "flat-out told me his hands were tied." "His statement to me was an untruth," the student said, "because he and Beach sat down and decided it. That's my main beef, how they've offered the options to the students." Beach said, however, that the department was trying to strike a balance between solving the problems as quickly as possible and keeping the students' interests in mind. Beach commented that the finals week, coming as it does right before Christmas, is one of the busiest times of the year, and the department was shorthanded, which is why they hired Poulson as a lecturer. "He had always been very dependable," said Beach of Poulson, who has taught other classes for the department. Because of a shortage of psychology professors, he said, Poulson had been rehired to teach the course and had not been closely monitored. "There were a lot of opti ons that could not stand up to reality," Beach said. "We felt it was absolutely imperative that we got to them within that time frame so that we could do as much for them as we could." The two students interviewed said they would take the midterm grade as the grade for the course. Allen said he was planning on attending professional school and had to ship transcripts out this semester. The other said that Poulson had told him he got a B-plus on the midterm, but the grade the department offered him was a B. The student said that out of a class of 82 students, only eight students got A's. Beach said that Poulson had recorded the midterm scores on a computer printout and had marked the letter grades on the same sheet. He said that clerical errors may have occurred, which may account for the student's grade difference. "I really don't fault Mr. Poulson," Allen said. "My general impression is that he really didn't play a part in this." He said, however, that he was bothered by the lack of consideration for the student's time in class. "You're not getting any credit for those last eight weeks," he said. "It's just out the window." Joffrey II to perform Tickets are now on sale for the Joffrey H Dance Company, which will open the 1984 Accent on Enrichment season on Monday, Jan. 30 at 8 p.m. in the Communication Arts Theater. The Joffrey II performance is being co-sponsored by the Parkside Activities Board, a student group and AOE. Joffrey II tickets are available at the Union I nformation Center (552-2345). Season ticket sales for the entire AOE season of f our productions are still continuing while individual tickets for the Joffrey II performance are being sold. Individual tickets for the remaining AOE p roductions--" Master Harold and the Boys", Feb. 19; "The Soviet Emigre Orchestra," March 5; and "Weekley and Arganbright," duo pianists, April 7, will go on sale Jan. 30, al so at the Union Information Center. Joffrey H consists of the most talented young dancers from the acclaimed Joffrey Company, which has come to define ballet excellence and beauty in the U. S. The 12-member Joffrey II ensemble, which the New York Times called "the best small classic ballet company in the country," is both an intense, competitive training ground and a showcase for Joffrey stars of tomorrow. Selections to be performed by the dancers to taped music are: "Pas Des Deeses," choreographed by Robert Joffrey and performed to music by John Field. The work was inspired by a Romantic lithograph of 1846 by the artist Bouvier, and at the ballet's beginning, the dancers assume a pose from that famous work of art. Each subsequent variation demonstrates qualities made famous by a quartet of great 19th century dancers, Lucile Grahn, Fanny Cerrito, Marie Taglioni and Arthur St. Leon. "Beginnings,"" choreographed by Choo San Goh and performed to "Serenade for Strings, Op. 12," by composer Lennow Berkeley, premiered by Joffrey II this summer. "The 'Mary' Chapter...'" choreographed by Catherine Hills and performed to music by the late singer-songwriter Jim Croce, including the works "I'll Have to Say I Love You In a Song," "Salon and Saloon," "Dreaming Again" and "These Dreams." " I n Kazmidi t y , " choreographed by Ann Marie De Angelo and performed to selections from "Sylvia," by Leo Delibes. The fantasy work tells the story of a feminist kingdom inhabited by the souls of unfulfilled ballerinas who capture mortal young men and transport them to "Kazmidity," where "life is everlasting and the freedom of d ance prevails." The Joffrey II prepares its young performers to be soloists for the Joffrey Ballet as well as other professional dance companies. Founded in 1969, the Company also serves as a showcase for emerging choreographers, composers and lighting and costume designers as well as training-arts administrators and production personnel. Hotline training There will be Crisis Intervention Hotline training for Innovative Youth Services of Racine beginning the first week in February. The training session will last approximately 55 hours and the regular work hours are four hours per week for six months. College credit is available.

PAB relocates by Walter Hermann Parkside Activities Board (PAB) has moved its office from Union 202 to a new location behind the Union Information desk in the old poster shop. PAB made the move in order to obtain more space for storage and making signs. According to PAB president Mark Scholzen and vicepresident Keith Harmann, the old office was like "a large closet." The new office has three rooms: a dressing room for visiting bands, an office for Scholzen and Harmann and a larger office for PAB committee members. Along with the move, Scholzen and Harmann expect the number of PAB members to grow from the approximately 65 people now involved. Scholzen an d Harmann feel that the new office will encourage people to feel less inhibited and will allow for creativity to be stimulated. PAB events for this semester include the Joffrey H Dancers on Monday, Jan. 30 a t 8 p.m. in the Communication Arts Theater (tickets are $3 for students and $5 fo r general admission), and the continuing film series, which will feature such films as Hair, Trading Places, Meatballs and many more.

Four more systems from The Campus Source, a company in East Brunswick, New Jersey, will be programmed on campus and will present strictly campus information. Two large panels will accompany the revolving message: one panel for a monthly events calendar and one to display an ad for the advertiser of the month. It hasn't been determined where or when the four new systems will be installed. Both services are free to the campus; therefore no student dollars or tax dollars were involved in obtaining the services, aside from the cost of mounting the boards. The companies providing the services receive profits from the sale of advertising segments that are broadcast or displayed. The advertising on the systems will be low key and will exclude such products as cigarettes or alcohol, said Union Director Bill Niebuhr. Eligibility to qualify for these systems is based on the campus student population. "These types of systems have only recently been made available to campuses of our size...hundreds of other campuses already have such systems," said Niebuhr. Niebuhr and Buddy Couvion, Coordinator of Student Activities^, initiated the request to obtain these systems. Niebuhr said that the decision to get the message boards was largely due to the positive responses that the systems have generated on other campuses. "What we're trying to do with these systems, in addition to the Ranger, posters and fliers, is to increase communication on campus to let people know about things that are happening," said Niebuhr. The installation of these systems was approved and authorized by the UW-Parkside Outreach Committee, chaired by Chancellor Alan Guskin. schedule set " with Parkside political science pressor John Harbeson, who has conducted extensive on-site research in Africa, particularly into rural development programs.

The campus will receive a total of six electronic message systems that will present local, national and world i nformation. The two boards currently operating in the Coffee Shoppe and the Union Square were provided by Bruner Broadcasting Company of Dallas, Texas. This system provides world and national news and sports, and most of th is information is changed three times a day. Each of th e segments is sponsored by national advertisers. Campus news, provided by the Parkside Public Information Office, is also broadcast on the message boards.

Law officers training program developed by campus profs A tra ining program for Wisconsin law enforcement officers developed by University Extension professors at Parkside and Milwaukee was turned over Jan. 17 to Gov. Anthony S. Earl by UW-Extension officials. The program, funded by a $13,- 000 grant from the Wisconsin State Council of the Knights of Columbus, helps law enforcement officers recognize and deal with the developmentally disabled, which includes persons who are mentally retarded, or have epilepsy, cerebral palsy or autism. The program is a training manual consisting of audio tapes and written materials that were produced under the direction and supervison of Professors Kim Baugrud, coordinator of University Extension activities at Parkside, and Samuel Stellman, UW-Extension Criminal Justice Institute, UW-Milwaukee. These training manuals will be used by law enforcement officers who are attending the 23 police PARKSIDE UNION PRESENTS SPRINC BREAK -DA MARCH 9 - 18, 1984 Arrangements by ECHO TRAVEL, INC.

The Knights of Columbus grant was the 13th to Baugrud in the past 10 yean, totaling more than $30,000 to fund training programs in the area of law enforcement and mental retardation. Baugrud's interest in the developmentally disabled intensified following his serving on a special legislative committee on criminal justice for the physically and developmentally handicapped. "It is absolutely essential that all Wisconsin law enforcement officers are able to recognize the developmentally disabled, and to understand that these people have some particular problems when reacting with law enforcement personnel," Baugrud said. "They may. have difficulty understanding what is said to them. When questioned, they may lack standard identification, such as a driver's license. Also, they may display inappropriate behavior because they can't read signs or distinguish symbols." The Milwaukee Police Department has recognized the importance of this problem (how to deal effectively with the developmentally disabled), and all their officers have now gone through the manual," said Baugrud. Persons taking the program also become aware of the resources of the Developmental Disabilities Boards (Chapter 51) in each Wisconsin county.

RANGER 7 Thursday, January 26, 1984 Away from the Numbers Costello's'Clock': Elvis is King The best of 1983 by John Kovalic Feature Editor I woke up Thursday morning to the strains of "Say, say, say" with the horrible realization that somebody had shot the wrong Beatle. Something was terribly wrong with the universe and it wasn't just the question of Michael Jackson's gender. The year of 1983 is , mercifuly, over. "Thriller," five singles and sixteen barf bags since its release, is finally beginning to wear a bit thin. Not that it's a bad album..or it wasn't the first time I heard it. But by about the 1,124,654th time one of its releases came through my radio I began reaching for the Pepto-Bismol. The year marked the return of "The Establishment." The men in the boardrooms of Polydor and Warner churning out profit after profit. Forget about the musical aspect. Let's try to milk another single off of Mikey. But there were bright spots. Some of the handful of groups that did the unheard of — i.e. used a little bit of musical integrity in the production of new and varied albums — actually made a little bit of money on the side. Say... you don't think it might be profitable to actually be original, do you? What an astounding thought. Anyway, here are the high p oints of the year. In my humble and in- Ask Dr. Bill credibly biased opinion, I now give you the best of 1983's alternate music. •••••••••• Elvis Costello. Punch the Clock... in which bespectacled one proves once again that Elvis is king. Literally assaulting the listener with more innovations than a week's worth of Q FM, "Punch the Clock" is a masterpiece, Costello's best work recently, by far. "Clock" is biting in its sarcasm, unrelenting in its targeting of society's sacred cows and dead on target when it finds its mark. The depression of last year's "Imperial Bedroom" gives way to a more constructive view of l ife than Elvis has been willing t o admit to believe in in a long time. The addition of the TKO horn section, late of Dexy's Midnight Runners, has replaced the precise production of "Bedroom" with a real kick where it was needed most. "Clock" is Costello's return to power rock tempered with the soul of his earlier "Get Happy." Easily the best of the year, this is a great album. Dexy's Midnight Runners Too-rye-aye One of the first albums released in 1983, "Too-rye-aye" was a welcome return of the 'young soul rebels' after two years' relative silence, leaving their first album in the dust as Kevin R owland got his act together in more ways than one. The group's lineup was the umpteenth since the original members did the big split in 1980. Sometimes overbearing, Rowland's pretentious stoic self-denial was masked for much of the album. This allowed a more positive, powerful sound to emanate from the Celtic soulbrothers' respective instruments as the album turns into a Beatle-esque affirmation of youth. Off it came the year's best single, "Come on, Eileen." More than a faddish flirtation with a soul/Celtic fusion, "Too-ryeaye" is a powerful album that will stay fresh for a long t ime to come. U2 War Right, I know I've been harping on about U2 for the last year, but come on, guys, this is great stuff. One of the most promising albums in a long time, "War" overshadows "Boy" and "October" to give us a view of life on Northern Ireland's frontline. U2 are calling for peace as their countrymen divide up to fight amongst themselves. The sound is crisp as the group shifts gears throughout and produce changing, challenging portraits of life, from the strong beat of "New Year's Day" to softer "Surrender". Week at the Park The quartet has Come a long way and are one of the most exciting groups on the scene at the moment. REM Murmur Hailing from Georgia, REM has here what is easily the best American album of the year. As X stands pretty much still trying to give punk the kiss of life, REM has a sound that is new and original, tying strings of folk, punk- /pop and blues in a collage of sound that makes most albumoriented rock look si ck. Lead singer Mike Stripe lends the vocals a mysterious quality with a haunting tone that stays with you long after the record is over. "Radio Free Europe" leads the album off on a tour de force which, when aided by the rest of the tracks, make "Murmur" one of th e most compelling albums of the year. Mr. Fix-it Kramer' comes to campus by Bill St ougaard Oh me, oh my, what a time it was! Few people could boast about the exciting kind of semester break I had, mainly because all but a few had to have had a more exciting one than I did. So, in an effort to make this article sound more interesting, I'm going to lie through my cuspids. Once again I had to rise to a challenge. This time it was that most disgusting and vile of l abors — yes, painting the basement floor. (Enough to send you screaming into the night, huh?) Well, anyway, being me and everything, I took the bull by the horns, took a deep breath and bravely hid underneath my bed. An awe-inspiring sight, indeed. Finally I met my enemy (kicking and screaming all the way), the words of my father ringing in my ears: "What man has done, Stougaard can do," and "Get your butt down there, you lazy litt le punk." Now I was as ready as I would ever be. Mustering up the miniscule amount of courage at my disposal, I tried to escape through the basement window. I would have made it, too, if I hadn't eaten so much grub over the holidays. After my folks pried me free and threatened to make me eat John Kovalic's gerbil "Chuck" unless I got to it, I started to prepare the floor for painting. Hour after hour I scrubbed, rinsed and swept. I definitely had an idea how Prometheus felt being chained to the mountain and having birds make kibbles and bits out of his liver. God, how I suffered, never faltering for a moment lest I get hit. At last I was ready to paint. Grasping my magi c roller, "Roller," I proceeded to paint the floor. For four days and nights I painted. An endless sea of grey acrylic flowed from "Roller." I took breaks only to eat my daily morsel of Krafts cheese and macaroni (I agree with the little girl on the tube) and to watch the seven hours of soaps t hat I had recently become addicted to. After a momentous final effort, I completed the last brush stroke. Lifting my enchanted roller to the heavens, I cried in a tremendous voice filled with power, "PHEW!" My par ents, being alerted by my victory gasp, came tumbling down the stairs and gazed upon my work with tear-filled eyes. My father said in a trembling voice, "You dumb putz! You were supposed to paint the walls!" by J anice Chase Hi campers! Hope that your first week back wasn't too bad. This week's activities should bring you out of your first week blues. •••••••••• Today "Kramer vs. Kramer" will be shown at 3:30 p.m. in the Union Cinema.

A typical year at the cinema starts out busy with a barrage of holiday showings. Spring is slow. Summer picks up with teenage stimulators and darkened mutilators. Fall is slow. And the year's end begins the great money making rush: hit the public when they spend the most cash! Winter is the time of year when films containing big stars are favored for accolades when the summer season suffered from shock. Of course, there will be films ignored- those pieces of art overlooked by the Academy, but only appreciated by a handful of avid movie goers. Such are these presented below. Mind you, these are only a cross section of the many films squashed by favoritism. If you are in favor of these fine cinema-graphic attempts: bravo! "Tootslieg" a musical film about a transvestite seamstress striving to reach the top of Manhattan's garment district. While designing his own radical creations, he falls in love with the alcoholic kingpin of the district and cajoles him to accept his fashion. Boy George stars. "Tootslieg" is Yiddish for "fruitcake." "Return O' The Jesuit" Set in modern day Dublin, Northern Ireland, a London priest returns to his birthplace to aid in the fighting against the Irish Republican Army, who torments his old neighborhood. This swashbuckling adventure includes Catholic-Protestant street battles, Jabba the Pope, and Irish guerillas soon to be sold in stores. Miles O'Keefe stars. "Never Say 'Make My Day* Again" Clint Eastwood is James Bond, Agent 007. His vigilante tactics get him busted, women and busted women. He carries the law in his Magnum and blows away punks, drunks, psychos and a daily dish of spaghetti at the corner deli. He is partnered with a rhesus monkey (played by Sondra Locke) that retrieves his bullets after firing them. "Terms of Endurance" Moe, Larry and Curly, the Three Stooges, star in a three-hour epic that highlights the changes in their on-camera relationships. How Curly matured under Moe's spiteful guidance. How Larry comforted Moe when Curly was replaced by Shemp. How the trio's slapstick was a metaphor for their sexual frustration. Lengthy films were meant to be blockbusters. "Smurf's Of A Kind" The good looking He-Smurf gets the gorgeous, twinkly-eyed She-Smurf without even acting at all. Animation works wonders. Plenty of songs for the younger kiddies. Plenty of teeth and posturing for the older kiddies. You know who stars. "Never Cry Scarface" A lazy Cuban refugee hears his name bellowed out more than once over the intercom at the grocery store where he works. Unwilling to shave his beard off (it hides knife marks), he is fired by his boss. "Scarface" plans revenge in his garage apartment. He gathers a gang of eleven-one for each aisle. Fidel Castro stars. "Gorky Cab" Mr. T is traded to Moscow in exchange for nuclear disarmament in Europe. He starts his own taxi service (Red Cab) because what else can he do when left to his imagination? He is officially titled "American blackguard of goodwill", or Gorky, by Soviet government. He threatens visiting diplomats by driving with bald tires over frozen lakes. The chef of staff enjoy his intimidating power, so a missle is modeled after him: a short, stocky million dollar warhead, know as BA- 13. Gorky (T) is killed in a freak accident- a bookmobile takes a sharp turn in Red Square and tips over on his cab. He is immortalized in picture next to Lenin and Stalin, etc. Art fair judging Preliminary jurying for the Racine 1984 Monument Square Art Fair will be held Saturday, February 4 at Wustum Museum in Racine.

The Milwaukee Repertory Theater is staging a production of Alexander Ostrovsky's "The Forest," a forest not unlike one of Shakespeare's mystical glades. On a rural estate, located in central Russia in about 1870, there lives a wealthy and stingy landowner, Raisa Pavlova. Raisa is getting on in years and must decide who to will her money to. She could will it to her nephew whom she hasn't seen for 15 years; or she could give it to a young man, Aleksei, living with her, whom Raisa is in love with. Faced with this dilemma, along comes Grennady Demyanich, her Theater auditions Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa theater producers will audition actors, singers, dancers, designers, technicians and managers at the Eighth Annual Statewide Summer Theater Auditions, Feb. 4 and 5 in Madison at the Wisconsin Cent er. The weekend program is sponsored by the UW Exte nsin Unit of Arts Department in cooperation with the Wisconsin Theater Association. In addition to the auditions program, on Friday, Feb. 3 workshops will be conducted by Wisconsin theater producers and educators who specialize in training actors and technicians for employment. Those planning to audition might view the day as an opportunity to "warm up" with professionals who understand the process. Some of the topics include: "Strenghtening Your Audition," "Resume/Portfolio Enhancement" and "The Musical Audition." Participants who plan to audition the following day will have an opportunity to try out prepared material and receive immediate feedback in "An Open Critique" session. All workshop participants will receive passes to observe any audition series Saturday or Sunday. Among th e 21 producers are The Fireside Playhouse (Fort Atkinson), The New American Theater (Rockford IL), Northern Lights Summer Playhouse (Tomahawk), Peninsula Players (Fish Creek), Friends Mime (Milwaukee), Theater On The Bay (Marinette), Old Creamer Theater (Garrison IA), the Wisconsin Shakespeare Festival (Platteville) and various colleges and university theaters. Each will be looking fo r a talent to fill a variety of p ositions within their companies. Registration fees are $7 for the Workshop Day and $10 for the Statewide Auditions. WTA offers special discounts for members. Registration forms are available by writing the Statewide Summer Theater Auditions, 610 Langdom St., 724 Lowell Hall, Madison WI, 53706. Inquiries can be made by calling Richard Klemm, 608/263- 6736. long-lost ne phew. Rosemary Prinz, a well-seasoned actress, plays Raisa; she is humorous as the old woman who carries her fortune around with her in a wooden box. Aleksei, played by Laurence Ballard, is not above a little "gold digging" to get ahead. Grennady Demyanich is a wandering tragic actor called "Tragikov." He is the bane of his aunt's existence once she finds out he is an actor. The role is played by Daniel Mooney, who exuded the right pomposity his role requires. His last role was Scrooge in the 1983 production of "A Christmas Carol". Opposite Mooney is Peter Silbert, who plays Tragikov's traveling companion "Komediansky." Silbert played Jack Sumner, the shellshocked soldier in the last Rep play "Splintered Wood," a role he played with much intensity. He is a gifted actor and his performance in "The Forest" is very funny. Other excellent performances were wrought by Rose Pickering, Ulita; and James Pickering, Karp, who play aged servants of Raisas'. Ulita spies in the woods for Raisa; and Karp, the hunched-over lackey, does her bidding. Karp's performance was so great he almost stole the show. One unique feature in the play was the set design. Tall, life-like pine trees are dispersed upon the stage. In the center is the semblance of a living room, a rug and a few chairs. All action literally takes place in the forest. "The Forest" is an excellent and very funny production. Casting is made up of character roles, all of them played well. "The Forest" is an evening of e xcellent theater and well worth seeing. Performances are at 8 p.m., except Mondays, Jan. 20-Feb. 26 at the Todd Wehr Theater. Tickets are $4-$12. For reservations, call (414) 273-7121. Matinees are on selected Wednesdays or Sundays.

Classified ads PUBLIC SHOCKED! by Nick Thome In recent months a wave of fanatical terrorism has been taking place around the globe. They have bombed sleeping Marines in Beirut. They've bombed innocent shoppers at Harrods.- They've blown the windows out of buildings in Washington. They've kidnapped military personnel of every age and rank. They've sent out death squads. They've extorted millions of dollars. All th at is fine and well, but now they've gone too far! A new, diabolical form of terrorism has emerged in the last week. Yes, dear readers, I'm talking about the trend towards corporate character assassinations. Those symbols we have all grown to know and love are being killed. The police have beefed up security at the studios, but thus far, it's all been for naught. Remember the Pillsbury Doughboy? A member of t he People's Organization to Wipe Out Imperialistic Rhetorical Symbols (POWIRS) got him. While filming a future commercial, Abdul Isurdosmellbad ran his index finger through the helpless doughboy. Abdul was heard screaming, "Die you American scumball. corporate puppet! DIE!" as the* fatal finger did its duty. The Revolutional Order of Labor to Lacerate Economic Representatives (ROLLER) sent a man on a clandestine mission last week. The unknown assailant snuck onto the sound stage during the filming of a recent Banner commercial with a bucket of water. That poor roll of toilet paper was asking for another take when the fatal flood came. His last words were "Dry me quick," but it was too late. The soft touch became the soft mush quicker than you can say we will be right back. The final victim in last week's barrage of barbarianism was the Snuggle bear. The bear was abducted from his New York penthouse apartment and taken to the laundromat in the Bronx. N. Y. Police found the body of Snuggle in the bottom of a Speed Queen washer with a large economy- size bottle of Downy and a -note. The note, from Stop Outrageous Fascist Traitor Economic Entities (SOFTEE), claimed responsibility. The coroner reported the death was caused by drowning.

I feel like a deep down clean, fluffed up soft and had no static cling. As I stated earlier, they have improved the security measures, but will this stop a really determined character assassin? I really doubt it. All we can do is keep developing new and improved corporate images to take the place of our departed commercial comrades.

The Minnesota Twins moved their Wisconsin Rapids Class A a ffiliate to Kenosha for the 1984 season. It will be managed by Duffy Dyer, a former major league catcher and a Cubs coach last year. After a slow Big Ten start, the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team has been impressive lately. They have beaten Michigan State and Michigan, both very good teams, in successive games. Finally, one of those painful kind of stories. Last week, Cardinal Strich played in a women's Catholic College basketball tournament in Iowa. They had originally wanted to get out of it, but at the last minute, they decided to send a team. They now wish they hadn't gone. They lost their game 141-7; their leading scorer had three points. RANGER 11 Thursday, January 26, 1984 Women lose Classic final Ranger photo by Robb Luehr Snorts Shots Sports in Wisconsin by Robb Luehr Welcome back to Sports Shots everyone. I trust you had a fine semester break, and hope you're ready for another semester of sports. Many of you have been having too much fun over break to notice what has been happening in the world of sports, So I'll get you caught up. First, you probably know about Bart Starr losing his job (?) in Green Bay. Well, guess what? Bart has been hired by the Arizona Firebirds, a would-be NFL expansion team. He is director of operations, head coach and general manager of a (at present) non-existent team. The NFL has said that it is not ready for expansion, but the Firebirds are in business anyway and Bart's at the helm. The Seattle Seahawks almost pulled off the impossible in the AFC playoffs. First, they got into the playoffs as a wild card team. They got by Denver and burned Miami, but then they ran into a mob known as the L. A. Raiders. These men in black bullied their way to a 30-14 win, using intimidation (such as starting fights) and Marcus Allen's 154 yards rushing. While we're on the subject, have some sympathy for the Rams and the Steelers, who were subjected to a couple of the worst drubbings in recent playoff history (51-7 an d 38- 10, respectively). Have no sympathy for the crybaby 49ers. They blamed their loss on the officiating, particularly on two calls made in the last three minutes of the game that helped the Redskins continue their drive to their winning field goal, spoiling a 49er comback. The films were reviewed by NFL officials, who said the calls were justified. I saw the replays during the game, and I thought they were correct calls. So go ahead and cry, Bill Walsh; it won't do you any good. •••••••••• Switching to basketball, our Milwaukee Arena dwellers are not having the seasons they were expected to. Marquette has had a five-game losing streak, the worst since 1966. The Bucks lost four in a row a week and a half ago. In the process they lost their lead in the central division to the Detroit Pistons. They finally broke the streak by beating the Knicks of New York. This past Sunday, on national television, they simply massacred the Boston Celtics. Let's hope they're back on track. At least one Milwaukee team is having a good year — the Admirals. They have the best record in the International Hockey League. ••••••*••* The USFL scored their second Heisman Trophy winner in the person of Mike Rozier, who signed with the Pittsburgh Maulers (great name, huh?). In other USFL developments, the Arizona Wranglers (another great name) signed Steeler quarterback Cliff Stoudt, and Walter Payton was offered $2 million a year for three years by the Chicago Blitz. Speaking of money, there is a new millionaire in the baseball world. Rich Gossage signed a fiveyear, $5.5 million contract with the San Diego Padres. It is truly a fowl city now, with a Chicken and a Goose in residence. In other baseball news, one of continued to page 10 by Patricia Cumbie and Robb Luehr The Parkside women's basketball tournament was last weekend and the host team fared well. The lady Rangers made it to the finals of the eight-team tournament, but lost in the final by three points to La- Crosse. On Friday, Parkside played its first game of the tourney, against Loras College. The game was a seesaw affair, with the lead changing hands frequently. Each team led by as many as eight points, but the score was tied in the last minute of the game. With the score 49-49, Debbie Hanson was fouled with 27 seconds left. She stepped to the line and calmly made two free throws, hitting nothing but the net on both shots. She added another foul shot in the last few seconds to make the final score 52-49 for Parkside. Robin Henschel led the Rangers with 14 points, with Debbie Ambruso and Hansen adding 10 points each. The Rangers advanced to the Saturday semi-final, where their opponent was Northern Michigan University. Parkside got off to a fast start and never trailed in the game. The closest that Northern Michigan could get was six points. The final score was UW-P 70, NMU 60. Coach Noreen Goggin commented about the game: "We played real well...it was a team effort." Midge Schinderle led the way with 16 points, while Jean Jacobs added 13 and Deb Ambruso chipped in with 10. In the final on Sunday, Parkside went up against a tough LaCrosse team. Both teams played hard, and the game was close all the way; But in the end, the Indians prevailed over the Rangers 71-68. Goggin stated, "We played a good game. The girls played their hearts out, |)ut the other team won." The key to the game was the free throw line, where LaCrosse had 29 attempts , but Parkside only had 5 attempts. Robin Henschel paced Indoor track begins The indoor track season has begun. Two men on the track team have qualified for the indoor nationals that will be held in Kansas City. The two runners are: George Kapheim, winner of the Turkey Day Race in Kenosha, and cross country All-Ameriean who qualified for the three-mile with 14:16; and Tim Renzelmann who ran the twomile in 9:11.5 minutes. Dan Stublaski just missed qualifying by 1.6 seconds. His time was 4:20.6 in the mile. Andy Serrano ran the 2000 meter steeplechase. He set a school record with 6:11.0. "We will improve from here on in. By the time we get to the nationals, the extra seconds ought to be shaved off," Coach Lucian Rosa commented. Shooting team stats Wednesday night Parkside I shot against Parkside II and #1 won. Parkside I is 7-7 and II is 6-8. Brian Schuetta commented, "We're doing OK, but we did do better last year.

Twelve of the best small college wrestling teams competed. Parkside placed fifth, which pleased wrestling coach Jim Koch. "I was real pleased with that. That was th e best we've ever finished at that meet," he said. The other top scoring teams were, respectively: Southern University winning with 139; Central State Oklahoma, ranked #1 by NAIA; University of Omaha, ranked 4th; Eastern Illinois, ranked in the NCAA I. Koch added, "It was nice to finish right behind East 111. who a re in the NCAA Div. I. We wrestled some caliber guys." Mike Vania, whose record so fa r this season is 30 wins and 5 losses, came in second in the 126 w eight class. He wrestled A1 Grammer of Southern 111. Koch described Grammer as the "outstanding wrestler of Volleyball the tournament." The other second place finisher was Mike Winter in the 142 weigh t class. Deciding his match with 6-2 was Ronnie James from Oklahoma who is a three-time NAIA Champion. Two third place wrestlers were Matt Kluge and Ted Keyes. Kluge won five matches for third piace, and Keyes won five and lost one. "Ted is in an extremely tough weight class; all of the tough competitors are in that class. Most of the guys he wrestles are NCAA Ail- Americans. He does well against this competition," commented Koch. Freshman wrestler Mark Duby is making good. He placed fourth in the 142 weight class. Koch commented, "He performed exceptionally well in this tournament. I'm excited he placed fourth. I'm pleased with the way he wrestled, especially all year." Todd Yde at 167 placed fifth. He won four matches and lost two to Gary Astel from Oklahoma, who was fourth in the tournament last year. "We traveled a long way to wrestle some good competition. These are the guys to beat to become All- Americans, and this is the kind of competition you have to wrestle to do it. All the guys did real well," said Koch. Women tour Germany by John Kovalic f The Parkside women's volleyball team returned this semester from a three-week, six-match tour of West Germany, with an excellent winning percentage. The team, 5-0-1 for the trip, played teams of mixed quality, including the Danish National team and the Grodesberger Volleyball Club, ranked eighth in Germany's top league. 'The teams varied a lot in quality," said head Coach Terry Paulson. "But the highlights of the trip for us. as f ar as t he matches were concerned, were the two against i Grodesberger and the Danish national team." The team stayed outside of Wolfenbuttel, Kenosha's sister city in Germany, and spent fifteen days traveling across the country. The original tour schedule was changed when its organizer scheduled too many games in Denmark and Sweden. "In mid-November we didn't have a single contact in Germany, but a friend of mine put me in touch with a Frankfurt sportswriter and we were very lucky after that," said Paulson. "Some weekends we would only get confirmation of a match the night before the game was to take place," he added. "It was very much a sort of I-Spy' deal. "But our stay was top-of-theline," Paulson said. "We were treated very, very well." Another high point occurred when the Parkside team spent New Year's Eve at a banquet attended by the U. S. national team. Other teams included those from China, Holland, Germany, Cuba and Sweden. "We watched the U. S. beat China," said Paulson. "It was the first time they had done so in eight attempts. It was very thrilling for myself and the players. We got to see the team playing that will be in the Olympics..it's like we really got to know them. "One of the most chilling experiences we had was when we were taken to see the East German border. At one point Special Forces from the West German military boarded our bus to tell us how to act. "It was very sobering," Paulson said. "The Special Forces came aboard our bus and warned us not to do anything silly. There were trench posts, then 50 meters of open field. Then there were the trenches, machine gun posts and watch towers." Twelve people took the trip, including Paulson and his wife. It was privately financed by various fund-raising events. Overall, with the wins and the hospitality, Paulson said the tour was "just fantastic. "Our hosts told us to give them more warning next time, though, so they could treat us better/' said Paulson. "They really appreciated our coming. Maybe one day we'll get the chance to go back." UW-PARKSIDE RANGERS HOST Roosevelt Saturday, Jan. 28 Indiana/Purdue-Ft.
