Media Services theft - Student found guilty Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Media Services theft No. 26 Student bbvy KKeenn MMpeyveprr aannrdi foL u. • nd guiltv Jill Whitney Nielsen A former Media Services employee was found guilty March 22 of stealing over $2400 worth of equipment from Media Services and the library. Mike Odegaard, 19, who was a student last semester, was found guilty of a misdemeanor theft charge and sentenced to five days in the county jail. His criminal record was immediately expunged by Kenosha County Circuit Judge David Bastian. A person's record is sometimes expunged — literally "wiped clean" — when the crime is his or her first offense, they are under the age of 21 and not considered a danger to society. Impending military service may also be a factor for expunging a record. When a person's record is expunged, the courts and police officers may not release any information about the crime — a lmost as if it never happened. Ranger, however, investigated the theft using independent sources and discovered Odegaard's conviction. Another student, whose identity lias not yet been revealed, was charged with possession of stolen merchandise but has not gone to trial yet. The theft of a VHS recorder, a television set, a tape deck and a tape recorder from Media Services and a stereo receiver from the library was discovered the first week the campus opened after the Christmas holidays. According to campus Security officials, an anonymous tip came to Security on Feb. 2 from someone who had read the reward posters around campus for the missing VHS recorder. The caller reported seeing some stolen equipment in an Orchard Courts apartment, which is located across Wood Road (30th Avenue). Parkside Security obtained a search warrant and recovered a 9- inch Sony TV which was Parkside property. The owner of the apartment later said he bought the TV set from a man in a bar. On Feb. 3, Odegaard brought a stereo receiver to Security and said he, too, bought it from the man who sold the TV set. Three Security officers worked on the case for 10 days and found a witness who said he/she had received stolen equipment from Odegaard. Odegaard was brought in to Security on Feb. 13, when he confessed to stealing whatever he thought Security already had in its possession. Odegaard was found guilty in court on March 22. Everything was "expunged from the public record," said Security Director Ron Brinkman. "We have no disagreement with the reason the court did this." He could not reveal the reason the record was expunged. Judge Bastian explained that a record can be expunged for many reasons: for the first misdemeanor offense, if the person is under 21 years of age and not dangerous to society, and for possible military service. He said military service is "a consideration. If there's a charge pending or if (the person is) on probation, the military won't touch (them)." The Kenosha Air Force Recruiting Station acknowledged that Odegaard has enlisted in the Air Force * but has not yet been formally inducted. Vince Gigliotti, assistant Security director, said "The anonymous caller did receive the $100 re ward, so the reward program does work! Whatever the reason for calling..it's nice to know they read our posters." PUAB Students want say on boards by Jill Whitney Nielsen A resolution from PSGA stating that they "support student programming for the student activities portion of the message boards" was presented to PUAB at Friday's meeting. Exactly what form that student input would take was the major topic at the meeting. Dave Higgens, PSGA representative, suggested distributing forms around campus for students and student organizations to fill out requesting infomration be programmed on the new message boards (specifically those in the cafeteria and the Rec Center) and the forms be turned in to Student Life. Bill Niebuhr felt that simply requesting certain student activity information would suffice. "We should deal with the problem (of student input) when it happens and not just speculate." Jack Kemper, SOC representative, disagreed. "Students have guaranteed space on these boards ... they have the potential to be very valuable to student groups." Ken Meyer, Ranger representative, added, "The students want input. Forms aren't enough. Students should have complete representation on what goes on the boards." A r esolution did come out of the discussion made by Higgens stating that forms will be distributed around campus for student use and that a coalition of two or more students work directly with Student Life on what ultimately gets programmed for the student block on the message boards. Meyer added that students should have equal vote and not be used as an advisory committee. Niebuhr reminded PUAB that students can always come back to PUAB if they feel they're not being treated fairly. The motion passed with Meyer abstaining. Kemper also made a motion stating that the students and Student Life send a condensed and prioritized version to Public Information for the Brunner message boards now operating. This motion also passed. The current drop-off policy was discussed. The current policy states that for small groups, a bartender can "drop off" alcohol if the group signs a waiver disclaiming the Union responsible. If the group is a student group, they must have an adviser present to sign a waiver or else hire a bartender to serve the alcohol. It was decided the policy should stay the same. Briefly discussed was the disciplinary action and enforcement for minors being served alcohol. It was decided to postpone the discussion until next week's meeting. The next PUAB meeting will be Friday, April 13 at 2 p.m. in Union io 6. •iSSS photo by Michael Kailas Presidential politics ^rC,w^nSr°nDSenoaifXitilfJate to Present John Kennedy, now last Say S Presidel,tia, campaign, spoke in Kenosha ALSO: A personal report of the all-new caucus Prof. Ken Hoover discusses 1984 TV candidates INSIDE Honors program brings Prof. Stanley Rosenberg reflects on China visit Womens' softball off to swing ing start Movie review: "Romancing the Stone" 2 Thursday, April 12,1984 RANGER "jO^NNLOYW ,G EIFT WTHEE CNOOUVLEDM BER.

T fejfa Slf|H|§gR|p*IJ iVtHO WTU I VtYtt*. \ \S^>- WliOVDrEDj against JJS.JJ A personal view of the caucus by Kari Dixon "We made history today," an exhausted woman said to me as we left the first Kenosha County Democratic caucus. But now that all the signs have been taken down, smoke has cleared from Local 72, my feet have had a chance to heal and all the candidates have moved on to other states, I wonder if the members of the Democratic party who insisted on the caucus would say that it was a success. For me the caucus activity began on Friday. I went to the Grand Avenue Mall to see Walter Mondale. When we got to the podium area, we saw Vince Gibbens from Channel 6. (He got an interview with Fritz; I didn't.) I left to find a bathroom and when I came back ten minutes later, over 100 people had begun to crowd in. After an hour of searching, I finally did get to see Fritz, and yes, I even got to shake his hand. The only thing I didn't know was that I was going to risk my life to do it. (Some senior citizens, who had been bussed there, were more vicious than teenagers trying to touch a rock star.) After I fought my way out of the crowd, I drove back to Kenosha to see Ted Sorenson, a former speechwriter for John Kennedy, who spoke on behalf of Gary Hart. This was a quiet, subdued gathering that lacked all the fanfare of the Mondale event, but it had a message of its own. For the first time I understood the committment and the compassion of Gary Hart supporters. It is too bad that they had to live in a town that one person called "Mondale heaven.*' Saturday morning I helped with the caucus registration, which quickly became chaos, but by 1 p.m. it was all straightened out. The caucus had about 1300 participants, and the Union Local was a little crowded. Assigning the separate caucuses was another problem. The Mondale caucus was so large that we had to file outside and then come back into the hall to deposit our ballots and wait for the results. After what seemed like a very long thirty minutes, we found out that we were the only viable caucus. During the next round of balloting, the Hart caucus persuaded enough Jackson supporters to. switch their vote. When all the dust had settled, Mondale had 1,030 votes and Hart had 183. The Mondale caucus sent 40 delegates to the district meeting, and the Hart caucus sent nine. As far as I am concerned, the caucus was a success. Granted, it is a lot easier to take three minutes to cast a vote than five hours for a caucus, but I learned a lot from the caucus. Sitting in a classroom and reading about politics does not reveal all the manipulation and socializing that is part of the political process. The caucus illustrated this perfectly. If they decide to use the caucus four years from now, everyone will know what to expect, and I'll be there. At least my feet will have four years to heal... Root River" voices Parkside talent by Carol Kortendick Several local authors from the Racine area are presented in an anthology entitled "Root River Voices." According to editor Elizabeth Olson, several of these people either teach at Parkside, attend the school or were students here. Olson said many of the poets meet about once a month to "enjoy, share and critique each other's work," as stated in the anthology- "The original nucleus of this group was Shanghai-ed to the first poetry meeting while innocently browsing the shelves at Leekley's Rare and Scholarly Books by the proprietor himself — a Mr. Richard Leekley, a poetry enthusiast who believed that the best of poems and their makers tend to be inclusive rather than exclusive, to extend rather than limit our experiencing of this life, and that the business of art is to discover and serve rather than deny and manipulate the truths and realities of the human condition," as quoted from the book's foreward by Olson. "Root River Voices" is on sale at the campus bookstore for $3. The chapbook begins with the poem, "Letter to Richard Leekley, Poet, Friend," by Elizabeth Olson. She begins by recounting the details important for creating an October day. I have seen the mating of ladybugs, the migration of monarchs.. N0\v the maple at my front door flames more each day, its leaves as big as hands, red-rich, velvet veined. The poem describes a person seemingly in his/her prime in which he/she has experienced life to the fullest and is now ready to die. Today, I could close my eyes, cover my skin, And not breathe in. Yet, as with many people, when death (like winter) does come, it's too early. And when the last leaf is borne on a maverick wind, I will say that it fell too soon. "Blood Truck," written by Professor Donald Kummings, depicts a writer's feeling of inadequacy. One never believes his poem or story is quite right, and always it needs a little more. Your lines, therefore, are fisherman crowded round an inkwell, witlessly staring, sullenly waiting; your images are cold, made of wire; your metaphors forget to eat and sleep and thus are weak, anemic; your symbols are white bells that Ifave no tongues; your ideas stand on this foot, that, and squawk: demented parrots perching on such flimsy limbs. The poem also speaks of the frustration of time and how it always seems to be running out. Pal, you're growing old. You sit and stroke your sisal fiber beard. You stare at wide wintry fields of the page,, white as the bones of bison. "Juggling," by Frank Scott, took a different approach than most. The author, through the use of metaphors, envisioned the beginning of mankind. I marvel, at the moment, years ago before the magic, When the mortal stood amid a litter of shapes, And set to juggling himself, Holding up the empty tent, with his image amid a galaxy a-whirl. The poem, "Life After Death," by Janet Wells, was a response to death by the bereaved. It sensitively reveals how the living think and act when in a situation with death: Help the old orphans circling her bed...She died of not breathing. I watched her sigh shallow in out out... | Wells said, "I realized that death wasn't this great revelation thing, but rather, all these little things like cessation of breathing, thinking you're suddenly an orphan and literally the roof over your head is gone. The thing I'm trying to share is how it is to witness any death, and in this case, the death of a parent." With heavy doses of alliteration, "Siren," by instructor Shelly Carter, works best when read aloud. Where next? Bodies cringe where their wounds welt the air, their waves rear over innocents... Carter prods the eardrums with words. She said, "I'm interested in a sound, not a moral. I tried to think how it would feel to be injured and hearing these sirens. The noise is scary." Other authors featured in the book are Alan Shucard, Charlotte Cote, Gail Savage, Claude Tower, Jeffrey J. Swencki, Gary C. Busha, John Madden, Carol Lee Safiotti and Carl Lindner.

JU1 Whitney Nielsen Pat Hensiak i RANGER Social Science Rounritahlf» 3 Thursday, April 12,1984 Central America crisis by Kari Dixon "The covert war against Nicaragua has now become a real, overt war, even though our government will not admit it," said Wisconsin Secretary of State Douglas LaFollette during Monday's Social Science Roundtable, "The Crisis in Central America: An Observer's Report." LaFollette toured Honduras and Nicaragua in October, with officials from several other states, through a religious organization in Washington, D.C. While there, he said, his role was that of a reporter objectively gathering facts. "I met with all segments of the society," he said. "Most of us are taught that there are two sides — us and them — in these situations. In Central America there are no black and white issues, and even though it's crazy, political leaders exploit that idea." In Honduras, LaFollette said that he saw what had been a relatively peaceful and poor country transformed into a U.S. military base with somewhere between 2000 and 5000 soldiers. "Imagine the first congressional district filled with 5000 Japanese soldiers and how do you think you would feel?" he asked. "You would feel occupied, which is what the Hondurans feel." According to LaFollette, the U.S. is doing three things in Honduras. We are flying our flag, training and equipping the El Salvadoran army in Honduras and training and equipping the remnants of the Nicaraguan dictatorship, the contras, who are based in Honduras. The contras, LaFollette said, are being supplied with U.S. money and equipment so that they can eventually overthrow the present government in Nicaragua, a government that was set up after the revolution and overthrow of the Samosa regime. "The CIA is also in Honduras," LaFollette said. "While I was there, they dropped a bomb on one of the most important oil importing facilities." The situation in Nicaragua is no better. "There is a real lack of professional people in the government that is trying to put together a new nation," LaFollette said. "Even though we won't admit it, there is a war going on down there," he continued. "We've got a major fleet off Nicaragua." When the U.S. mined a Nicaraguan port, the International Court of the U.N., by a vote of 13-1, de clared that an act of war. The United States refuses to recognize that vote. "This is our government, folks," LaFollette said. Through his conversations with citizens including businessmen, political leaders and educators, LaFollette said that he learned that there were some mistakes being made in Nicaragua, but sending in the Marines was not the answer. "I feel funny about my country right now," he concluded. "Ten years ago I felt exactly the same way about the war in Vietnam." Funds granted for research Nearly $36,000 in funds supporting faculty research at Parkside on the economic impact of outdoor recreation and on spinal nerve development was accepted April 6 by the UW System Board of Regents. The Regents accepted $1,400 from the Council of State Planning Agencies (CSPA), a private, nonprofit group supported by the American Governors' Association, for a study by Parkside business professor James Rovelstad. Rovelstad is evaluating methods used by state governments to assess the economic impact of outdoor recreation. Working with him on the project is Parkside MBA student Daniel J. Frederick, of Paris Township in Kenosha County. Rovelstad also is advisor and consultant to the CPOA in its research into the impact of outdoor recreation on various state economies. The Regents also accepted $34,428 of a $115,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to support Parkside life science professor Ross Gundersen's research into spinal nerve development. Gundersen last year became the first scientist to demonstrate that developing muscle tissue -exerts an attraction on growing spinal nerves, a process that, when fully understood, could aid persons who have suffered spinal nerve damage in mishaps ranging from car crashes to combat injuries. Gundersen studies spinal nerves, muscle tissue and spinal cords extracted from embryonic and newborn chickens. Currently, he is investigating the chemical differences between embryonic and neo-natal spinal cords. Once the differences are isolated, it might be possible to promote healing in persons with severed or crushed spinal cords by utilizing the developmental substances and mechanisms activated in the embryonic state.

Overseas work The Council on International Education Exchange (CIEE), the largest student travel organization in the U. S., is offering young people the opportunity to work overseas this summer as volunteers on service projects aimed at helping local communities. Free room and board help to keep participation costs minimal. Other projects included clearing an avalanche on the side of a mountain (Switzerland); performing farm chores at an anti-drug camp (Sweden); and housecleaning at the Technical Institute at Gdansk (Poland). Except for a modest program fee of $100, th ere is no cost other than airfare — and even that expense may be reduced by special student and youth fares available through the Council. Work camps, usually two, three or four weeks in duration, are available in Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. A knowledge of German is helpful for placements in Germany ; language requirements apply in France and Spain. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old (except in Germany, which accepts 16-yearolds). Application deadline is May 1, 1984.

JOIN RANGER NOW *>***» <TVO^S> <rV4NT5> Thursday, April 12,1984 Visiting Prof. Stanley discusses issues RANGER by Mary Ginther Last week some of you may have noticed a stranger on campus. That >tranger, usually surrounded by an entourage of alert and attentive stuients, was Honors Visiting Scholar Or. Manfred Stanley from Syracuse University. During his three-day /isit to Parkside, Stanley addressed ssues ranging from the importance )f local history to possible reforms 'or education. At a dinner for Honors students ind faculty connected with Staney's visit, Stanley commented that The idea of public memory is hard o talk to Americans about. Our vocabulary is that of interest groups." Jtanley argues that teaching history jy segregating groups, e.g., by genier or ethnic heritage, will fail because they are not integrated into he larger realm of American history. Stanley supports the idea of collective memory of the American people, stating, "Vast masses of )ur people feel degraded and disenfranchised of their powers to participate in the making of the political world. Their jurisdiction as citizens has shrunk t o zero unless they ire organized into interest groups, n which case they are not citizens, jut interest groups. Lo cal history, by designing the research in such a way as to recover the collective memory of how people helped to make the environments that now ippear to us as fixed objects, by helping to recover the processes and the memories of those who created these environments and solved problems in the past..could, if we lid it right, restore to people the memories appropriate to citizenship. This cannot be done according to the antiquarian model of local history. It cannot remain local. The local history has to be part of a larger pattern of memory that can only be mediated by a reformed way of teaching American history." In his principal address, "Orwellian Love: Political Sentiment in an Age of Terror," Stanley spoke of such issues as loyalty, membership, obedience, confusion, and guilt — all elements of political sentiment. His four controversial conclusions provide directives for reform in education. For instance: "We must recover the theological sense of the university, and perhaps even of the public schools, in the broadest and most generous sense of this term. Nothing else will do if we are to rescue these institutions from their present status as inf ormation factories, cocktail party training centers and employment agencies. With the term 'theological' I do not intend a return to the sectarian theistic roots of American education. Rather, the term is meant to encourage renewed inquiry into the relations between education and collective understandings of the 'sacred,' which surely include certain political institutions, memories, myths and principles." The day before Stanley delivered his thought-provoking main address, he raised provocative questions in an Organizational Communication workshop t itled, "Society: The Ultimate Organization?" Stanley queried the large group of students, wondering if the idea of a science of organizations a pplied to the management of human beings is "abominable." Stanley disputes the currently popular stance of the socio-biologists commenting that "...to reduce human beings strictly to the notion of a species is to reduce them to the status of any species — ant, bee, etc." Stanley argues that to consider society as solely organizational is to act as the technicist with all the trappings. That is, to use only tools and techniques that ignore the dignities of society. Stanley offered the possibility of substituting "institution" for "organization." Stanley sees the institutions of society — education, medicine , for example — as moral processes wit h different ends fro m organizational enterprises. "Chickens have pecking orders, but they don't have gods...Seals make patterns in the sand, but not art," Stanley remarked. In his later sessions, Stan ley discussed his concern for civic education. In these forums, Stanley conveyed the message that much thought and research is needed regarding the authoritative jurisdiction of the citizen. He calls for greater interaction between social scientists and philosophers on this matter, declaring, "...without history and philosophy, the mind is blind." Throughout his discussions, Stanley emanted a caring, eclectic attitude that often impressed and inspired those wi th whom he spoke. Accordingly, he was impressed with Parkside. "The kinds of conversations I've had..I've been struck and somewhat moved by the concerns that exist...responsiveness of some of the students. There seems to be an environment of possibility here."

Rosenberg discussed Parkside's second trip to China, his impressions of the country and a complementary slide display. The 17 day trip took nine students, faculty and staff through China's capitol city and five provinces. Historial sites, emperors' mansions, factories and schools were some of the sites visited by the tourists. Rosenberg said he was surprised at the independence allowed to the tour party. "There was more freedom than I had expected in that we were allowed to walk around anywhere we wished. Because of a general lack of public transportation, such as no taxis, there was no danger of our getting into any "off limit" area," he said. The tour group had the opportunity to learn much about the country's people, rules and ways of life Local tour guides were bold in communicating with the tour group, when the state guides were not near. The group learned that the many people have little control over their future occupations. Rosenberg told how one girl had a strong desire to be a teacher, but the state told her she had to be a tour guide. "There is virtually no personal freedom such as we know it allowed in China today. Jobs are assigned to people and they cannot live where they want or marry whom they want." He added that the people's clothing seemed to reflect their restrained life styles in that all the adults wore solid blue or green coats and hats of dark shades and similar styles. Children were dressed more colorfully than the adults. Many people had to wear face masks because of the pollution caused by the use of soft coal for fuel. Respiratory problems also afflicted the tourists while they were visiting the cities. Food was an interesting experience for the group. They were given a choice of American or Chinese food for breakfast. The American menu included eggs, toast and not-so-good coffee, which was favored over the Chinese breakfast of gruel-like cereal, fish and tea, according to Rosenberg. Lunch and dinner were seven-course banquets featuring vegetables, tofu, meats in sauces, oranges and, occasionally, CaKGS. "We were told not to drink the water and noticed a flu-like illness among our group. There was plenty of bottled beer, and wine and brandy available at a reasonable price and it was quite good. Every place we visited, such as the commune or university, offered us hot cups of tea made with loose tea leaves that floated around in the drink," said Rosenberg. Shopping in China was unique to the group. "Funny Money" was issued to the tourists for them to spend in special tourist shops. "The local people liked to trade their money for "funny money" because they enjoyed buying the unusual items available in the tourist stores and these items could not be purchased with their regular money " he said. Roadside vegetable stands were prevalent, where farmers had the opportunity to sell their extra produce. "China is allowing this so that the food supply will be more plentiful and varied than in other communist states. The staple items, such as rice and wheat, are rationed, but the public may extend their diet by shopping in the marketplaces as they can afford to," Rosenberg said. The group visited a number of public facilities, such as schools, the zoo and factories. "A kindergarten class we visited had children there who stay at school for six days a week. Their parents work and live too far away to pick up their children every day, so the children only go home one day a week," said Rosenberg. "We requested to visit a university, but we were guided to a museum room there and found that the library and the classes were closed." Every city has a zoo which usually features giant pandas and another type called a Lesser panda. The cities contain large bronze statues, sometimes of lions and Stress program scheduled With final exams approaching, Racine's Golden Rondelle Theater is planng a discussion of interest to students. Racine physician Donald Cohill will discuss the causes and effects of stress when a "Medical Information Night: Stress" is presented at the Golden Rondelle Theater on Wednesday, April 18. The program will begin at 7 p.m. Stress is one of the major detriments to good health in our society today It can contribute to cardiovascular disease and other medical ailments. But there are means to control the effects of stress. Reservations for this program are requested and can be made by calling the Golden Rondelle Theater at 631-2154 Monday through Friday. There is no admission charge. The Golden Rondelle Theater is located at the corner of 14th and Franklin Streets in Racine. This program is a cooperative effort with the Racine Alliance of Labor and the Racine County Medical Society. "There was more freedom than I had expected in that we were allowed to walk around anywhere we wished." dragons. Large rocks in unique shapes were displayed on pedastals in the cities. Emperors' palaces were visited by t he group. They found that Chinese emperors displayed their grandeur by space and vast amounts of land rather than in the height of their palaces. Rosenberg said that he was impressed by the major irrigation site of Dujianayun with its "brilliantly executed methods of problem solving and great provision of water. This and other magnificent wonders of the past impressed and astonished me. They cut a whole mountain in half over 2,000 years Physics profs meet ago to achieve this water-way system." Little manufacturing equipment is made by the Chinese, which was disappointing to Rosenberg. All of their major machinery used in a steel mill that the group visited was imported from East Germany and some of the machines came from the west. "The trucks are small and look like 1940's styles.

Four Parkside physics professors gave talks at the annual meeting of the Wisconsin chapter of the American Association of Physics Teachers held last Friday and Saturday, April 6 and 7. The meeting was at Nicolet College in Rhinelander. Morris Firebaugh spoke on mapping magnetic fields with microcomputers; Feredoon Behroori talked about the use of balloons in electrostatic demonstrations; Stephen Luzader explained theoretical mechanics as a demonstration course; and Janet Landato focused on how to organize an in-service workshop in physics and the physical sciences for junior high school teachers.

You've never heard of "The Office?" But I bet you've seen them. They are an elite group of students who always hang around the chairs in Greenquist Hall. You may have noticed one of their many birthday parties when they decorate their section of the hallway. Or maybe you might have seen them playing Frisbee indoors (with outdoor enthusiasm.). Anyway, I got a chance to interview them. The first question, "Why do you call yourselves 'The Office'?" brought me such answers as, "Why not?" and "I really don't know," or "I think I hear my mother calling." But after some discussion they decided that it was because of the atmosphere. An office is a place where people work and become friends and almost never go a day without seeing one another; besides, they couldn't say "I'll meet you in the hallway," so now they say, "I'll meet you in The Office." I asked them how they got together and about how many people were actually in this club, and the story goes like this: "Once upon a time, on a day when the stars were just right, the fates threw a couple of people together to become friends. As they sat together doing their homework, they kept introducing each other to old high school friends who would pass down the hallway. And, as time went on, those friends told two friends and they told two friends and so on and so on and so on ...until now. Now there are about thirty-five members, of whom only twenty actively hang out in "The Office" and about fifteen who just like the atmosphere to study in." I was knocked down by a unanimous round of "NO!!" when I asked if they planned to make their club official. They said it was for a number of reasons. One, it would ruin the friendship they have right now. Two, they didn't want the structure or the organization of an official club. And three, they didn't like the requirements and the restrictions placed on official clubs. All of this was said amidst many a call of, "But we accept donations!!" How do you become a member? Sit down and throw your coat on the floor, or just have your mom bring you. The best part of my interview was asking them what they did as a group at Parkside. Their many talents range from study group to street gang. They've thrown lots of parties, had a winter picnic, played hall frisbee, put snowmen in the planters (giving them the distinction of being the only group who created snow sculptures in Winter Carnival before the Big Melt). The group also formed a vigilante committee to straighten the thinking of someone who tried to knock over their snow sculptures. On several occasions they have redecorated "The Office" by moving chairs and plants to the area (but someone keeps moving them back), and they often offend many passers-by with their heated intellectual discussions on sex, drugs, rock 'n roll and what type of alcohol to consume in between. The members have a big secret Club Events Peer Support Peer Support will hold a special meeting in Molinaro 114 on April 18 at 1 p.m. for all members. New members are encouraged to attend.

Write a letter University of Wisconsin-Parkside Fine Arts Division — presents — • I *1 II ^1 I of the Tonight Show with Jazz Ensemble I conducted by Tim Bell 7 Thursday, April 12,1984 TV candidates and future trends by Tony Rogers The 1984 presidential campaign may be remembered as the year of the 'TV candidate.' Both Gary Hart and Walter Mondale are spending huge sums of money on television advertising, and political analysts have raised the question of what is more imporant in winning votes — a strong background in public office, or a charismatic, attractive media image? On the other hand, the Rev. Jesse Jackson has used no television advertising at all, yet he has attracted fairly strong support through a drive to get blacks to register and vote. The use of polls, both before and after elections, has increased, yet their accuracy seems to be in question. Political Science Professor Ken Hoover discussed the implications of these trends in a recent interview. "I think the effect of the media has been mainly to weaken the parties and increase the role of money 'A lot of money is a tremendous asset in politics and always has been / in politics," Hoover stated. "It weakens the role of the parties because media images become more important than political background and experience. That gives the party a smaller role. Of c ourse, the money problem is obvious. The cost of campaigning is very high. Public financing schemes at various levels have helped to some degree, but there's been an explosion in campaign financing through political action committees. That has come about because of the media. Movies Stone" rolls right along by Rick Luehr No, "Romancing The Stone" is not a love story starring Mick Jagger. What it is is a wonderfully rousing and fun adventure film. The plot is basically simple. Romance novelist Joan Wilder receives a call from her sister in Colombia. The sister, Elaine, has been kidnapped and Joan is to deliver a map to the kidnappers as ransom. Once in Colombia, Joan gets involved not only with the kidnappers, but also with drug runners, the secret police and last, but not least, an American named Jack Colton. One of the first things that I'm sure people will say about "Romancing The Stone" is that it's a ripoff of "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Personally, I don't feel that to be the case. But even if it is, so what? People tend to forget that "Raiders" was basically a 'ripoff of the adventure serials of the 30's and 40's. "Romancing The Stone" is action packed, fast moving and a whole lot of fun. The characters are likable and the story, though at times improbable and contrived, is well plotted and exciting. The film is well directed by Robert Zemeckis, the editing is brisk, and the cinematography by Dean Cundey gives the flim a lush appearance. Also the soundtrack uses the Dolby stereo process to great effect. The character of Jack Colton, played by Michael Douglas (who also produced the film), is another in a series of imperfect heroes. He is not infallible. For instance, when he attempts to swing across a gorge on a vine, he slams face-first into a wall on the other side. I like this type of character. It lends a sense of reality to a film. If a hero is infallible and perfect, I feel it makes him very boring. Douglas does a fine job as Jack. It's refreshing to see him in a film without a deep social message, like most movies he makes have. As Joan, Kathleen Turner gives a wonderful portrayal of a city girl who is totally out of her element in the jungles of Colombia. With this role, Miss Turner proves herself to be one of the most versatile actresses in films today. She is as good in this film as she was as the sultry manipulator in "Body Heat" or the 'scum queen' in "The Man With Two Brains." Danny De Vito of "Taxi" fame, is suitably sleazy as Ralph, one of the kidnappers. It is almost as if his "Taxi" character of Louie De Palma was transplanted in South America. Ralph, like Joan, is totally out of place in Colombia. You know that he would much rather be on the streets of New York mugging old ladies than running around a South American jungle. As much as I liked "Romancing Continued on page 10 What people are getting through the media is influenced by the level of financing and expertise that a candidate has available. A lot of money is a tremendous asset in politics, and always has been." Hoover went on to qualify this statement: "It's also true that a candidate who is very good with the media but who doesn't have much money has a stronger chance than somebody with a lot of experience and service to the political system- Jesse Jackson, for example, has his own communications network based in the black churches, and a style that comes from that base. He has a natural constituency of minorties. so in a sense that he doesn't have quite the same communications problem that the other candidates have. Hart is able to communicate fairly well. His great strength is his physical image. His weakness is the complexity of his ideas. He has a number of new ideas but they are not translated easily into a nice, crisp media package. "Mondale's campaign has begun to make fairly good use of the media. They've overcome a lot of his weakness as a physical image with his command of political discussion based on the traditional democratic values...We don't want a presidential nominating process in which the most photogenic candidate always wins. It's got to be a process that tests candidates in many ways, and I think the process is doing just that." Hoover downplayed the importance of election polls. "I don't think that polls are having as much impact as they have had in the past. After all, Mondale went into Iowa and New Hampshire with the polls indicating that he was far ahead, and he got beat. Voters are not afraid to change their minds, and in some cases I actually think they rebel against 'the tyranny' of the polls I think the age of the Political science professor Ken Hoover Ranger photo by Dave McEvoy "If the black vote doesn't turn out, the Democratic candidate will have a terrible time beating Reagan." mystique of the polls has passed." A major force in this year's campaign is Jackson's drive to get more blacks to vote. Hoover stressed the importance of this. "Jackson is making an enormous contribution to the empowerment of blacks by getting them involved in the political process in a way that will have a lot of long-lasting implications. It will be a powerful factor in this fall's election if the black vote goes Democratic and if it turns out in large numbers. Democrats will have a much better chance of winning if this happens. If the black vote doesn't turn out, the Democratic nominee will have a terrible time beating Reagan." Jackson seems to be receiving little support outside the black community, however and he has charged that white voters are less charitable to black candidates than black voters are toward white candidates. Hoover said he believed this was ture, although he thought it was more "the politics of the majority versus minority, rather than a racial consideration." Hoover said that American politics really doesn't favor radicals such as Jackson. "The system is designed to push people toward the middle, so that you narrow the field down to two or three candidates. But it leads you to exclude all sorts of creative possibilities, interesting new ideas and candidates with fresh concepts. It's remarkable, though, that you could take a country this size, with so much diversity and so many different kinds of people and put it all together into a nation-state. Probably the most important factor in making that happen is the forcing of political choices down to a very few can didates who represent a wide range of interests." "It's not as sterile a political landscape as it sometimes seems,' Hoover continued. "The new ideas tend to come in through third-party, candidates or people like Jesse, Jackson, who don't really have a, chance of winning but can attract enough attention so that people, begin to listen to them. Then those, ideas get picked up by the major', parties and candidates and become, part of their programs...There's; been a lot of political creativity in the United States."

After all these years, Parkside finally has a social fraternity. It was started by a few students in Feburary and is a private club offcampus. Curtis Neal, a freshman from Milwaukee, is the frat's first President, "and he hopes that the club can grow and play a more active part of Parkside's campus life next year. The fraternity has had a second goal this year also. They want to start a scholarship fund for those students who don't have the money to attend Parkside. Often, a financially- strapped student finds he or she cannot stay in school and complete their college education. Statistics show that once people quit, for whatever reason, they won't come back. "I formed this organization because I knew there were many students who were attending college, but were unable to meet the expense needed to stay in the university," said Neal. "So they had to drop from school. This made me become very concerned about the financial well-being of college students." Neal feels that this fraternity has a good membership that is willing to put on money-making projects like dances and other events for the purpose of funding other students with a sincere desire to stay in school but who can't afford it. Adds Neal, "Through these projects we can help to promote the advancement of disadvantaged college students." One of the biggest events planned by Alpha Theta Rho this year is their Scholarship Ball on Thursday, April 19. Scott Schupbach, treasurer of the club, expects a good turnout this year. "The Alpha Theta Rho Ball is a formal dance sponsored and funded entirely by us," said Schupbach. "The purpose of the ball is to raise money to put towards the scholarship," he said. This year the ball will be held at the Racine Motor Inn in downtown Racine. The cost of the ball is $20 per couple. Highlights of the evening include a special guest speaker, Robert Flancher, Racine Assistant District Attorney, a live band from Illinois called "Chance," and plenty of opportunity to break dance. A buffet dinner will be served at 7:30 p.m. and punch will also be served. A cash bar will be provided throughout the evening. Tickets are on sale until Tuesday or until they last, and they won't be sold at the door, so Schupbach advises people to buy them soon if they want to attend. Currently the fraternity is closed to new membership due to the time involved in preparation for the Scholarship Ball. Anyone interested in becoming a member of the fraternity can contact either Scotf Schupbach or Curtis Neal at 634- 1994, ext. 223. New membership applications will be taken starting the week after the ball. Alpha Theta Rho is a private fraternity. "II IB liliSlf STARTS FRIDAY AT T HEATRES EVERYWHERE jjL Thursday, April 12,1984 Movie review Continued from page 7 The Stone," there are a few things that I feel are wrong with the film. First of all, the movie gets off to a rather slow start. I feel that the first 20 minutes or so of the fim could have moved faster while still setting up the story. Another thing that I didn't like about the film was the brutality of some scenes. "Romancing The Stone," despite the rather silly and enigmatic title, «s a n enjoyable, exciting adventure tale. It will have you cheering the heroes and hissing the villains. It will have you sitting on the edge of your seat and laughing uproariously, frequently at the same time.

I didn't really go to look at the displays; I went to see comedian Pete Barbutti. But I got there rather early, so I was just going around looking at things to kill time. I was just on the verge of dozing off when someone handed me a flyer. I had had so many things handed to me that day that I just glanced at it disinterestedly. It was an ad for Ernie von Schledorn Buick. I looked up and saw the man who handed me the advertisement. I was shocked and overjoyed to see that it was none other than Mr. von Schledorn himself! I couldn't believe it. There he was, the prominent Milwaukee businessman and television superstar in person. I couldn't speak. I just looked at him with awe. He spoke to me! This man, nay, this god, spoke to me, a lowly nobody. He looked me in the eye and said, "Who do you know?" My heart was pounding. I almost swooned. The excitement was just too much for me to comprehend. There I was, a nobody, a nothing, who couldn't buy a car if I wanted to, and this celebrity, this man who serves as a shining example to the youth of today, actually opened his glorious mouth and uttered those immortal words to me. I know that my life will never be the same. I was blessed by the voice of one of the greatest examples of humanity that the universe has ever seen. And I am changed. My life is now complete. * * * * * * * * * * Then the unbelievable happened. Yesterday, Mrs. Stella Poteet of Wildlife Biloxi, Mississippi, was hemming a dress and found that she needed a few more pins. She went to her sewing table and got a box of pins that she had purchased only the day before at her local K-Mart. When she opened the box she found, nestled among the pins, a Thin Mint cookie. "I was shocked," said Mrs. Poteet. "I'm only glad that I saw it in time. God only knows what could have happened to me if I had reached into the box without looking. I mean, I could have gotten chocolate on my fingers. I guess I'm just one of the lucky ones." Yes, Mrs. Poteet is one of the lucky ones. In another part of Biloxi, Miss Junie Bell Swiggenlooper needed a new needle in order to sew up a hole in her brother's sock. She reached into a box of needles without looking and, not seeing the shortbread cookie that had somehow gotten into the box, drove several crumbs deeply into two fingers of her right hand. Doctors have already had to amputate her index finger but say that, if they are lucky, they can save at least most of Miss Swiggenlooper's middle finger. Authorities have put a halt to all pin and needle sales in Mississippi until all boxes have been examined for cookie tampering. This will be a slow process as all boxes must be checked by hand because a pratical cookie detector has yet to be developed. Officials say that they have no firm leads; however they admit that several local Girl Scouts are being questioned. Although no incidents of tampering have been reported outside of the Biloxi area, officials do recommend caution on the part of the public. If you find any evidence of tampering, report it immediately to your local police. We will keep you posted as to any further developments in this most disturbing and distressing case. by John Kovalic Will itor -nns (oar* INiSTtflD.

A Baltimore filmmaker has filed a bankruptcy petition against the Colts, claiming they owe him $8000 for game films from the 1983 season. The best one of all is the $30 million class action suit filed by a couple from Towson, Md., on behalf of all Baltimore Colts fans, charging that the team's early morning departure from Baltimore caused "severe emotional distress." The specific charges are as follows: The couple charges that the move in the night was designed, "to humiliate and degrade the plaintiffs and those similarly situated." They also say that the move has caused the couple to suffer "severe depressions, severe physical and emotional disability, severe disturbance of mental and emotional tranquility and mental distress of a very serious kind." When asked if they could win, the couple said, "Not really. But what else could we do to express our feelings? We've been fans from the beginning." COMING!

He added, "Our team is very much in the learning process and they're progressing. They show a lot of progress and are improving with every match."

The team is now ranked eighth in the nation. The last game they played was a double header against UW-Stevens Point They swept both games, 3-2 and 2-0. The first game was most exciting. The women scored in the seventh inning on a suicide squeeze bunt. The runner on third base began running at the release of the ball from the pitcher. The bunt by Cindy Ruffert was perfect and the runner made it safely to the plate. The team also played UW-Oshkosh and won in extra innings. The game went 11 innings and Denise Bier doubled with two outs. Janet Boren stepped to the plate and singled and Bier ran in for the score. Coach Linda Draft commented, "©his is the first time we've had good, strong hitting. The whole roster is strong. Everyone in the batting order is a threat at the plate." However, the team did split a double header with St. Xavier, winning 54 and then losing the second game 64. "We should have won that second game, but I am pleased with the winning streak following this game." Being ranked in the top ten teams in the nation can have its drawbacks, said Draft. "Everybody knows we're good and have had success in the past. They always like challenging the team on top. Every game is hard fought. It's not always easy being on top because you have to work harder to stay there." The team looks to every game as being tough. This weekend the team will compete in the St. Francis tournament. "Last year we peaked at St. Francis and we don't want that. We want to keep building; it's too early to peak," said Draft. As of now, the pitching is very strong. Michele Martino is back after rehabilitating her shoulder. Janet Koenig is showing real strength in the games. Another returner is Lynn Jonas. She is also very strong and can carry the game well in the stretch. All of the pitchers are a contributing factor. "What differentiates us from the two strongest teams in the nation is our pitching. They only have one pitcher who can carry. If she's injured or sick the game goes. We have strength in numbers." A contributing factor in defense is Janet Broeren. She has a batting average of .415, the highest batting average for a player in all of Draft's years as coach. She is good at getting crucial outs. She has exceptional range as short stop. The offense is also very tight. "Everybody has executed very well. The offense doesn't miss any signals and everyone performs whatever is expected," added Draft.

Sports shots Colts bolt for Indiana by Robb Luehr Moving a pro sports franchise is nothing new; it's been done many times. The Boston Braves went to Milwaukee, then to Atlanta; the Seattle Pilots became the Milwaukee Brewers; the Philadelphia Athletics ended up in Oakland by way of Kansas City; and the Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles. None of these moves caused too much of a stir. Then a man named A1 Davis wanted to take a team named the Oakland Raiders to that city named Los Angeles; but Oakland tattled on Al, and an organizaton named the NFL told Al that he couldn't move his team. He moved it anyway. The NFL and Oakland sued, but lost; so the Oakland Raiders became the Los Angeles Raiders. Now, 3000 miles away, on the other coast, there seems to be the same kind of situation developing. Back in the middle of March, stories began to surface about the owner of the Baltimore Colts, Robert Irsay, speaking to officials of the city of Indianapolis about the possibility of moving his team to that city. (You see, they have a new 61,000 seat stadium, the Hoosier Dome, but nobody to fill it.) Irsay was becoming dismayed at the fact that attendance had been decreasing at Memorial Stadium in Baltimore in the past five to six years. In the past, especially the late 60's and the early 70's, sellouts were as certain as snow in January. These were the so-called "glory days" of the Colts. Then in 1972, Robert Irsay bought the team. They made the playoffs for a couple of years since then, but in the late 70's, bad trades and other factors reduced the team to a mere shadow of its former self. As the team deteriorated, so did the size of the crowds. Last year the Colts' average home attendance was 37,- 000; the lowest in the NFL. So Mr. Irsay started talking to Indianapolis. Then Phoenix expressed an interest. Phoenix later dropped out of the bidding. Baltimore had to fight for its team. All efforts failed. On the evening of March 28, more than a dozen moving vans (Mayflower, I believe) showed up at the Colts' training camp. Several hours later, more than a dozen full moving vans left the Colts' training camp, bound for Indiana. The next day the mayor of Baltimore signed a condemnation order for the team, and a judge issued a temporary restraining order preventing the Colts from playing anywhere but in Baltimore. Mr. Irsay was totally within his rights to move the franchise; after all, he owns the Colts. As he told an Indianapolis reporter, "It's not your ball team or our ball team. It's my family's ball team. I paid for it and worked for it." There's nothing wrong with what he did; it's how he did it that angered the citizens of Baltimore. It does seem to be the coward's way out when you sneak out in the middle of the night. What was the reasoning behind Irsay's decision to do it that way? Was he afraid of being seen in daylight? Maybe he didn't want to be embarrassed by possible pickets or demonstrations. He should be more embarrassed by the way he did it than the way it might have been done. He could have at least given some kind of warning; but he didn't. The team is now known as the Indianapolis Colts, although Dolts is more fitting. As a result of the move, several lawsuits, both filed and potential, are in the works. The city of Baltimore is considering filing suit to get Irsay to pay $173,000 in back Continued on page 11 WELCOME—^ ATHLETE OF THE WEEK • •• CONGRATULATIONS ••• JANET BROEREN •*•••••••••••** UW-Parkside junior, women's softball team short stop.
