It was to be put into effect on July 1, 1984 and fully implemented in all public buildings by July 1, 1984. The act states that those smoking in non-designated areas will be fined $25 after July 11,1985. The Student Services Committee of PSGA (Pa rkside Student Government Association) requested student input as to where the smoking areas should be on this campus. A survey was developed and distributed and the Student Services Committee received 900 responses, 50 percent nonsmokers and 50 percent smokers. The survey asked whether the respondent smokes, if they did, where do they smoke the most often, where they most dislike for people to smoke, and whether they felt Union Square should be sectioned off into smoking and nonsmoking sections. The results are the basis for how this campus has set up its smoking and nonsmoking areas. A great majority of the respondents, both smokers and nonsmokers, agreed that they did not like people smoking in small confined areas and they did not like people smoking while they were eating or while other people were eating. Most respondents also agreed that Union Square should be divided and sectioned between smokers and non smokers. The designated smoking areas on campus will include the Union Recreation Center, Union Square, part of the Union Dining Room (there will be signs identifying these areas), the Molinaro Canteen, a small area in the Greenquist Concourse, the WLLC Coffee Shoppe area, the back lounge in WLLC, the upper level lounge in the Phy EM building, and the vending area in Tallent Hall. The committee tried to make at least one of the specified smoking areas in each building. In offices where more than one person works, the people in the office should decide whether the office will be smoking or nonsmoking. Barb Johnson, a representative on the Student Services Committee, said that the committee tried to do what the student surveys seemed to want them to do, but "there was really no viable way to divide Union Square or the Coffee Shop Area. We feel we did what most of the students will be happy with." Johnson went on to explain that the enforcement of the act will really be up to the students and members of the Parkside community. "The security guards won't drag you away for smoking in the wrong place, but if students don't follow it and enforce it themselves, it surely won't be followed. If you see someone smoking in a non-designated area, let them know and simply ask them to put out their cigarette or go somewhere else."

Excellence awards given to diversified group Two professors received distinguished teaching awards and a counselor received an academic staff award for outstanding university service at Parkside's annual convocation on Friday, Aug. 31. Stella C. Gray Distinguished Teaching Awards, named for the longtime Parkside English professor who retired last May and funded by the Parkside Alumni Association, went to Douglas DeVinny, associate professor of a rt, and Kenneth Hoover, associate professor of political science. The academic staff award went to Esrole Nurse, assistant director of the Office of Student Development, which counsels recent high school graduates at Parkside. Chancellor Alan E. Guskin presented the three awards of $500 each. The teaching awards are based on student nominations and nominations of chairs of the academic divisions. Recipients were selected by a committee made up equally of students and previous faculty winners of teaching awards. Douglas DeVinny, who joined the Parkside art faculty in 1979, has served as coordinator of the art gallery and of his discipline. Student evaluations expressed an admiration not only for his teaching abilities, but for the technical craftsmanship and artistic integrity of his own work, which has been shown four times in the Boston Printmakers show as well as in a number of other major national and regional exhibitions. A faculty colleague said of DeVinny: "His winning ways have frequently been cited: patient, good sense of humor, ability to relate to students' individual needs, never too busy to take on another student independent study project or advisee, enthusiastic and conscientious." He was described in the student evaluations as an enthusiastic, wellorganized and patient instructor who takes time to help his students on a personal basis. One student described him as "a foundation of knowledge." One of Parkside's recent graduates in art commented that DeVinny is generous in giving students individual help and offering insights while respecting the student's own artistic vision. "He lets students be their own artistic selves while pushing them to reach their full potential," the new grad said. Kenneth Hoover also received high marks on student evaluations. He was described as a caring person, active in his field, who brings his experiences into the classroom, and as a well-organized, knowledgeable and dynamic instructor. Students noted that Hoover's interest in applying political theory to contemporary events brings a particular immediacy to his teaching. One student labeled his lectures "breath-taking." Since coming to Parkside in 1978, Hoover has initiated a number of activities involving both the campus and the community. These include the Parkside Public Forum series, which he founded and chairs; the Social Science Roundtables, which he co-chairs; and a series of Breakfast Seminars in Public Management. In addition, he is the coordinator for his discipline. Hoover's influence on students, a colleague noted, goes well beyond his home institution. His text, "The Elements of Social Scientific Thinking, " in its third edition, is used in more than 360 colleges and universities. In citing Esrold Nurse for the Academic Staff award, a selection committee of academic staff, including past award winners, as well as student and faculty representatives, noted his extensive involvement in the Racine and Kenosha communities, especially with programs for minority young people. Nurse has worked with the Racine Environment Committee Educational Fund to provide educational opportunity for Racine and Kenosha minority and low income youth and assisted the REC staff in planning and hosting an annual conference on higher education, the most recent held last April at Parkside. He has been deeply involved in the CHAMP Program, initiated at Parkside to provide continuing motivation and support for minority youths from the Kenosha and Racine communities through an ongoing program which starts with junior high students and continues through their high school years. Nurse, who joined the Parkside staff in 1979, also is on the Advisory Board of Hand-In-H and, an advocacy agency for black individuals with handicaps and their families. In addition, he has made it a habit to visit area community centers, schools, social service agencies and churches presenting information on higher education opportunities and simultaneously serving as a role model for minority young people. On ca mpus, he serves as adviser to the Black Student Organization and the International Student Organization and has chaired the Black His tory Month committee. Ten new faculty Ten new faculty and staff appointments have been announced by Parkside, including four in science, two in behavioral science, and one each in business and social science. Joining the Science Division as a full professor is Jack Peterson, who will teach industrial and environmental hygiene as a member of t he allied health discipline. Peterson has extensive industrial, academic and consulting experience in all areas of industrial hygiene. He holds a PhD in industrial health and a master's degree in chemical engineering, both from the Univer- Continued on Page 5 2 Thursday, Sept. 6,1984 Editorial Smoking: no butts about it wfee miff." bm"Ln8.s t0 bc n°nsmoking unless other- 14 seems 41134 nonsmokers are gaining the edee Satrre SOciaUy **"»> i4 that the nghts of smokers are not snuffed ou*t. necessary to be sure not 5, j S P^bbp school board didn't delay dealing with the new schook^VtofaS lhP nniStUdenH srnoking on 4he Premises of al l high ^HhnvJJSSS!8*5 rule results in suspension.

Nobody asked me, but... flet^r from the Editor by Jim Neibaur Every five years or so, some mass market product overtakes our country. Stuff like coonskin caps, hula hoops, "smiley" faces, pet rocks and Smurfs. All forms of media, every story in any shopping mall, and sometimes airplanes, trucks or trains inundate us with advertisements , causing the shallow masses to embrace whatever product as if p rogrammed by some interplanetary force. Whether it's little blue men or ugly stuffed dolls complete with adoption papers the mindless consumers are at the product's mercy. Now we have a product that shamelessly exploits to the limit-the most astonishing mass market smash in history. This product is a human being. That human being is Michael Jackson. There may be a freak fascination in this man's spastic dance steps that gives him appeal in some quarters but his music is a degeneration to rock, pop or rhythm and blues styles.

His tall, gangling figure is so frighteningly slim that it gives us the motivation to refer to the late Karen Carpenter as "Chubs."

Jackson has also managed to reach adults with his discofied meanderings... but only adults who don't desire any depth to their music. Critics, even good ones, have been taken in by this J^^[i^y_P|^|^Jackson has been compared to such rock greats as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and such masters of R&B as Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder and Otis Redding. The critics have failed to realize that even the massive popularity that Jackson enjoys can hardly be called an artistic achievement. If what sold the most was the artistic best, then 'Greasewould be movie masterpiece and 'Three's Companywould be considered a work of TV art. Jackson's indiosyncrasies are also in the public spotlight. His wearing of one glove, affinity for cartoons and space shows, idolization of Peter Pan and preference of floor mats to beds for one's slumber are all being experimented with by his ardent admirers as alternate ways of life. His fans condemn rumors concerning Michael's alleged hormone injections, refusing that their hero be guilty of the slightest abberation. For all of his bizarre habits, Jackson is also labeled a role model (even by the White House.) Rockers like Ozzy Osbourne are condemned for bizaare publicity habits, although Osbourne's music is fraught with rather commendable lyrics condeming hatred and manipulation by authority, and worshipping peace, love, friendship, even God. Those who condemn Osbourne's music as loud and obnoxious are usually empty headed Bible thumpers who haven't bothered to listen to his songs. Jackson's role model status leads one to believe that all he s managing to do is teach our children to be shy, insecure wimps. There was a time when disco music was heard absolutely everywhere, but now, only a few years later even the most important, groundbreaking disco hits of Uiat period are about as fresh as yesterday's garbage.

The Ranger staff is again pleased to be working for the students. The Ranger has had the opportunity to make some changes which we feel will benefit our readers. Our news coverage has been expanded with the addition of a Community News Editor position to our staff. We will now be able to better inform our readers about the happenings in both Racine and Kenosha Counties, and also state and government news. Since Parkside is a commuter campus, we feel it is our duty to keep students up-todate on the issues which affect them outside the campus community. We will continue to keep our readers well-informed of the news on campus. Parkside remains our primary news target. The feature section will strive to educate our readers about current trends, interesting people, students' accomplishments, new entertainment and more. To help accomplish this task, an Assistant Feature Editor has been added to our staff. In addition, a computer column and reviews of restaurants for the student budget will be regular features. The Sports section will be more current in its coverage this year. Stories concerning health, unique sports, sports trivia and more will mix with our coverage devoted to Parkside athletes. The Ranger will contain a staff editorial each week. The editorial will voice the opinion of t he majority of the staff concerning current issues. A column for our staff members has also been added to the editorial page. In this forum, a Ranger staff member may voice his/her opinions on current topics or trends which do not reflect the opinions of the entire staff. Students, faculty and academic staff members are encouraged to use our editorial pages to voice their opinions. Letters to the Editor and special columns will be accepted. We do need help in reaching our goals, which are to inform and educate our readers. Writers, photographers and advertising representatives are needed. We will train those who are willing to learn. Please take some time to examine this first issue of the Ranger. We encourage input from our readers. Best wishes for a great year at Parkside. We hope to hear from you.

Ranger content. * and r8fuse ,etters containing false and defamatory RANGER New drinking age causes problems for bartenders 3 Thursday, Sept. 6,198' by Julie Pendleton On July 1, Wisconsin's drinking age was raised. This has presented somewhat of a problem for bar and store licensees, considering the attached grandfather clause. This clause states that once an individual has experienced a privilege, that privilege cannot be taken away. In other words, instead of just trying to figure out who's 19 or older, bar and store licensees also have to screen out who turned 18 on July 1 or earlier, and who turned 18 on July 2 or later. Consequently, this new law will have a strong effect on the policies of Parkside's Union. In addition to an orientation last spring, bartenders attended another meeting on August 30. Time was spent discussing the new laws, particularly the new drinking law, and the responsibility of the bartenders to uphold these laws. Besides just training the bartenders, other steps have been taken to ensure that the new drinking law is upheld. Pitchers of beer and carafes of wine will no longer be sold in the Union. The purpose of this new policy is to discourage the sharing of alcholic beverages with minors. The Union Advisory Board decided that 12-ounce and 20-ounce b eers and 5Vfe-ounce glasses of wine will be served. Checking of ID's will be a much more frequent occurrence. Bartenders will be using their own discretion in carding. Wisconsin students will be required to show a Wisconsin picture ID or a driver's license. Out-of-state students will be required to show documentary proof of their age. If there is no picture ID, bartenders will require one Union bartenders minors. must make sure serving other form of identification stating the person's age. Once an ID has been checked, the bartender will log the patron's name, address, phone number and type of identification on the ID Register at the bar. This register serves as a waiver in the event that the customer really is under age, and that he did in fact use a phony ID. At that point he has acknowledged that he obtained an alcoholic beverage and that he did indeed show a form of iden tification. However, he obtained an alcoholic beverage deceitfully and not by fault of a bartender. Minority students hold orientation On August 23 and 24 Parkside held its first Minority Student Orientation/Retreat. The program for the event included a detailed tour of the campus, lunch with the chancellor and an overnight retreat at Lake Geneva. Approximately 40 students were invited to take part and about 30 attended. When asked about the need for the orientation, Esrole Nurse Assistant Director of Student Development, said, "We feel there is a need for an orientation for anyone entering college. We feel that it is more critical at this time because we haven't done well keeping our minority freshmen and we feel that some of the problems are related to things that happened in the first two or three weeks of scho ol. What we are trying to do is smooth the transition from high school to college." Nurse stated further that the event was "very succeessful." Another preventative measure will be the wearing of wristbands at all campus social functions. If it is an open event (open to the entire campus), students who are of age will be given an ID bracelet at the door. The bracelets are snapped on and are designed so that once they are snapped off, they cannot be refastened. This will ensure that minors will not be borrowing bracelets in order to obtain alcoholic beverages. If there are any questions about the new drinking law, the students may pick up a hand-out explaining the reasons for the new policies at the bar. "Alcohol is really a privilege on campus," said Recreation Center Concession Supervisor Mike Menzhuber, "and by everyone following the rules, it's a privilege that will hopefully be maintained." News Briefs Jobs up this year (NOCR) A much better job outlook greeted the class of '84, says the College Placement Council. Offers were up in nearly every discipline, although starting salaries remained about the same as last year. Petroleum engineers once again led the salary parade, but there was also good news for humanities and social service majors: Job offers were substantially up in those fields as well. Youth injuries lower MADISON- The number of youngsters injured in car accidents on Wisconsin highways dropped nearly 15 percent last year, proof that the state's mandatory child restraint law works, a state official says. United Press International reported that Russell Fleming, accident data chief in the Department of T ransportation, said injuries to drivers and passengers last year increased four percent, from 49,177 in 1982 to 51,178 in 1983. - Injuries to children under four years of age decreased 14.7 percent, 729 in 1982 to 622 in 1983, he said. Fleming said the statistics should encourage others to buckle up. Reporter infiltrates gay meeting (NOCR) The Dartmouth Review, an independent conservative student newspaper, is once again at the center of con troversy, this time over a secret tape made by one of its reporters at a meeting of the Gay Student's Association. The reporter, who attended the meeting without identifying herself as a Review staff member, faces possible campus disciplinary action after contents of the secret tape were published in a review story. Age hike expensive Florida legislators face a tough choice, with the passage of the recent national drinking age law, says Forbes magazine. The legislators can refuse to raise the drinking age to 21 and lose some Federal highway money, or raise the drinking age and risk losing more than $130 million spent each spring by vacationing college students. UW opens job center (NOCR) A new student job center at UW-Madison will link jobhungry students with employers who have part-time jobs. The center, which will operate out of the financial aid office, will promote students as workers through public service announcements and offer a special phone line for potential employers.

Foreign films for fall Driver sentenced in Pogreba accident The driver of the vehicle in which Phil Pogreba, former student government president who was seriously injured, was sentenced on June 19. Samuel Greidanus, Kenosha, pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 18 months in prison by Racine Judge Dennis Barry, acting in Kenosha Circuit Court, on two charges of causing injuries by the intoxicated use of a motor vehicle. He was also placed on two years probation, to follow completion of the prison sentence. Pogreba remains comatose from injuries and brain damage suffered in the accident which occurred Sept. 17, 1983. His family cited no signs of improvement at this time. Pogreba remains in a care facility in his hometown of Independence, Wis.

Gray, an English professor in the University of Wisconsin System for 30 years and a distinguished faculty member at Parkside since it opened its doors in 1969, announced her resignation at the end of the spring semester. Gray, whose intellectual energy matched with a natural warmth and graciousness made her classes enormously popular among Parkside students, said she plans to do some writing, a lot of re ading and a bit of traveling with her husband, 'Charles, a recently retired probation and parole agent of the State Department of Corrections. The couple resides in Kenosha. Gray, a native of Boothbay Harbor, Maine, a small resort and fishing town situated on the coast, received her A.B. de gree from Bates College in Maine, her M.A. from Middlebury College in Vermont and her PhD degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her first teaching assignment was at the Hartland (Maine) Academy, where she taught for three years before moving on to four years at the Farmington (Maine) State Teacher's College. Her next position was with the University of Richmond (Virginia), where she taught for one year and then decided to pursue a doctoral degree in English at UW-Madison. While working toward her PhD at UW-Madison, she also served as a teaching assistant. Upon earning her PhD, Gray moved to Kenosha, her husband's home town, where in 1958 she began teaching at the two-year UW Kenosha Center, which a decade later would, along with the Racine Center, evolve into the University Gray, Kubly retire from English dept. Kubly plans novel, story Reading, writing and travel on Gray's agenda to complete collection Stella Gray of Wisconsin-Parkside. Gray provided vital assistance in the task of making the transition from a small, two-year campus to a large, four-year degree granting university, a task that involved long hours of creating new curricula and formulating new policies and procedures for the young university. "I feel like the grandmother of this place," Gray said. "I think UW-Parkside is doing what it set out to do-provide a source of highquality education to the residents of the Kenosha and Racine areas."

Gray's doctoral dissertation focused on author Constance Fenimore Woolson, a grand-niece of James Fenimore Cooper, who wrote the landmark Leatherstocking Tales, among the first strictly American literary works. Gray, who is noted for her evocative reading voice which is tinged with a gentle New England accent, brought life to American literature for hundreds of Kenosha and Racine area students who took her courses over the years. Gray regularly has chosen to teach a course in fundamentals of composition for freshmen who fall below the required grade on the English placement exam, instead of choosing to teach all literature or advanced composition courses, usually considered more desirable subjects. Gray was among the first Parkside faculty members to be honored for teaching excellence. In the university's first year she was selected by Parkside students to receive one of the Standard Oil Foundation awards of $50 0 for her excellence in classroom teaching. Parkside plans to name a teaching excellence award for Gray, who will be given professor emeritus status at the university. Gray, who was promoted to full professorship in 1971, was the first chairman of the Humanities Division, serving four years in that capacity while continuing to teach. She has served on virtually every major campus committee, including the first University Committee, the primary faculty committee; numerous Search and Screen committees, which interview and recommend candidates for faculty and ad- Continued on Page 9 Herb Kubly Taught creative writing Nationally-acclaimed author and playwright Herbert D. Kubly, who has been at professor of creative writing at Parkside since it accepted its first students in 1969, has announced his retirement at the end of the past spring semester. Kubly, who first rose to national prominence in 1956 when his travel memoir "American in Italy" claimed the coveted National Book Award, will live at his native New Glarus Wilhelm Tell Farm, where he will devote himself to full-time writing. Kubly currently is working on two major projects, a collection of his Parkside students' best short stories for which he will write a short story, and a full-length novel titled "Second Sight," which, Kubly said, deals with physical blindness as a metaphor for the increasing spiritual blindness of the world. Kubly will be awarded professor emeritus status at Parkside. He is the author of ten books, five plays and hundreds of articles for magazines and newspapers. For years he has written a popular restaurant- review column for the Milwaukee Journal's Sunday magazine section. Since coming to Parkside, Kubly has published three major literary works: "The Duchess of Glover," a novel that won the 1977 Leslie Cross Award (named for a Milwaukee Journal book editor) for book-length fiction; "Native's Return," a penetrating analysis of the people and culture of Switzerland, the home of Kubly's ancestors; and "Gods and Heroes," which won first place in the non-fiction category of the 1970 Council of Wisconsin Writers' contest and is about the people of Greece one year before a political coup that brought a military dictatorship to power. While conducting research in Greece for "Gods and Heroes," Kubly met a boy named Alex Marlis whom he brought back to America and adopted. Marlis eventually graduated from Parkside and now teaches in Oconomowoc. Also while at Parkside, Kubly has authored several plays, two of which-"The Virus" and "Perpetual Care "-were presented at the university, and he has published scores of magazine and newspaper articles on travel as well as on music, dining and art criticism, among other topics. Kubly earned a degree in journalism and philosophy from UWMadison. After graduating, he devoted the next ten years to working as a newspaperman. His first job as a journalist was with the Pittsburgh Sun Telegraph, where he spent five years, the first two as police reporter, the next three as art critic. Kubly, who said he always had been interested in art criticism, fell into his first assignment as art critic rather by accident. The Sun Telegraph's art critic had quit the night of the Carnegie Art Festival in Pittsburgh. Kubly's city editor looked around the newsroom and asked who had a tuxedo to wear to the formal occasion. Kubly still had one from his prom days at Madison, so he was dispatched to cover the story. Thereafter, he was the paper's art critic. Kubly's next position was with the New York Herald Tribune, where he worked for two years as a reporter and feature writer. He left that paper to work on his first play, "Men to the Sea," which appeared on Broadway. Shortly thereafter, Kubly received an offer from Time magazine for a job as the publication's music critic. Kubly, who espouses a deep love for opera and and dance, enthusiastically accepted the position and worked for three years as a junior editor and music critic for the magazine. Kubly then decided to devote himself to a career as an author and teacher. He accepted a position at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, where he directed the university's prestigious Playwright's Workshop, supervising the writing and production of student plays. (One of the first plays he nurtured at Illinois was written by then-student John Fink, who today is editor of Chicago Magazine.) While at Illinois, Kubly received a Fulbright research grant that allowed him to travel to Italy, a country with which he "immediately fell in love." Kubly lectured at the University of Milan and traveled throughout Italy. His observations and experiences formed the basis of the award-winning "American in Italy." After spending two years in Italy, Kubly returned for a year to Champaign- Urbana, but was lured once again to Italy, a nation that "I could not keep myself away from."

Tickets are $10 for general public, $8 for Parkside students, and include the served dinner and show. Tickets are available at the Union Information Cento-. Sponsors say 300 seats are available on a first-come basis. Previous dinner theater performances by Alpha-Omega have generally sold out quickly. Hailed as the Western book end to Simon's earlier success, "Plaza Suite,"the newer comedy consists of four playlets all taking place in the same suite of the posh Beverlv .Hills Hotel. A cast of four actors portray the various visitors to Hollywood. In the first playlet, Catherin Colder (Hannah Warren) is seen as a visitor from New York. She has gone West to confront her divorced hus- .band about the problems of their liberated 17-year-old daughter, who left mama in New York and fled to be with her movie-writing father, played by Edward Folcik (William Warren). They are brittle and sophisticated people whose sparring becomes more acidulous as they try to hide the wounds of the past. The second playlet features Todd Adams (Marvin Michaels) and . tan Haskell (Millie Michaels) as a couple from Philadelphia who came to Los Angeles for a Bar Mitzvah. He arrives first, and wakes up with a cute, but comatose, blonde beside him. He can't remember how she got there, and is unable to dispose of the passed-out body before his wife arrives at the door. Play number three has Catherin Colder (Diana Nichols) portraying a British actress on her way to the Academy Awards sober and edgy, and returning drunk and Oscar-less with her much abused, sexually-ambiguous husband, to be played by Todd Adams (Sidney Nichols). The last of the quartet of plays features all four actors as two pairs of Chicago couples bringing their three-week Hollywood vacation together to a hostile, flamboyant finale in a farrago of flying glass,' cut fingers, concussions and hammerlock holds.

California Guskin suggests changes for Parkside TThheo cphhaanncnenllllnorr of Parksi.dJ e- sugil <•- ir<n . «... gested Friday changing the basic structure of the university's undergraduate program by establishing a two-track system for freshmen and sophomore students. Speaking to faculty, staff and students at the annual convocation which opens the new school year at Parkside, Chancellor Alan E. Guskin said the change was needed to preserve both academic quality and student access "without jeopardizing the fulfillment of e ither. "Perhaps the most significant and admirable accomplishment of UW-Parkside is the successful nurturing and enhancement of academic quality while preserving an access and opportunity for students of widely varying abilities and circumstances," Guskin said. "Maintenance of both these traditions also is our greatest challenge, for they can easily become competing values."

Under Guskin's proposal, education at Parkside would be divided into two major program areas: a bachelor's degree track, called the University Program, with relatively selective standards; and a two-year Basic Studies Program leading to a two-year Associate of Arts degree for students who are admissible under general university standards but not into the University Program. New freshmen admitted to the University Program under the proposal would have to be in the top one-third of their graduating classes or test into it. Students in the Basic Studies program could transfer to the University Program prior to completion of the two-year degree if they met certain standards, such as a "B" average in all their courses. "The major academic difference between this new...arrangement and the present would be that the University Program would have substantially higher academic standards at the freshmen and sophomore years," Guskin explained. Guskin said the new University Program "would probably be the most selective general bachelor's degree program in the UW System." The chancellor said the two-year Basic Studies program "would be a general education program at the college level comparable in academic standards to our present freshman and sophomore offerings." Among the advantages of the proposal, Guskin said, would be that students divided by ability "would have a less diverse-and consequently more comfortable and productive-class environment in both the two-year and university programs." Faculty, too, would be more effective by not having to teach classes with such diverse student abilities, Guskirt said. In the University Program, faculty would be able to considerably increase the standards, given the assumed skills of the student, he said. "For many students, especially those unsure of their commitment... or who must go part-time, the possibility of achieving a degree after the equivalent of two years could be a strong motivating force- in their willingness to stay in college rather than stopping or dropping out," Guskin said. Guskin, who is starting his 10th year as Parkside chancellor, admitted that some students would view the two-track system negatively, "especially if they see themselves on the 'lower' track. "While this may be true, I would maintain that many of these same students are not doing very well at the present time nor are we able to deal effectively with their needs or (those of) the students who would be accepted into the university's bachelor's program," Guskin said. Guskin said that, in reality, there already was a "two-year college within us" and that "the problem is that there is no such two-year program in the region we serve." He said the program "could open up exciting new relationships with Gateway Technical Insitute...which would benefit both student bodies. The chancellor said any additional costs of the program "would be manageable within present and future budgets." Guskin said present regular faculty would teach one-half or more Ranger photo by J ay Crapser Chancellor Alan Guskin speaks to faculty and staff at annual convocation. of the courses in the two-year program while permanent lecturers, many already on the staff, would teach the rest. Guskin said the new structure was needed "to come to grips with the reality of our student body." That reality, he said is rooted in Parkside's two-year center origins. The former Centers in Kenosha and Racine served a dual role for a diverse student body, Guskin said. They extended UW-quality opportunity... to many well qualified, even exceptional, students who used the Centers as transfer-tracks to upper division work primarily at UW-Madison." About one-third of those students pursued that path, he said. "For the other two-thirds of the students, less sure of their goals or abilities, the Centers were used as a kind of try-out for college, much like the function served (by) community colleges in other states. Continued on Page 7 RANGER Guskin's convocation Classifieds New faculty Continued from Page 6 "Many of these students completed two-year associate degrees and joined or re-joined the work force...others dropped out for various reasons. "In understanding UW-Parkside today and planning for its tomorrow, it is (significant) that those percentages are still very much part of our university," Guskin said. Since Parkside opened, almost two-thirds of its students have been freshmen and sophomores and onethird upperclassmen, he said. "Acceptance of our Center System roots has been difficult for us, even painful to some," Guskin said. "We have had to deal with the problems of incorporating a twoyear college into a university; of preserving the opportunity for large 'numbers of s tudents of v arying and uncertain motivation and ability to give college a try; of assimilating those students with others of s uperior ability, motivation, and direction; and of accepting the legitimacy of serving both community college and university functions." Guskin said he "did not expect such a major change to occur overnight," but urged the faculty to "seriously consider the advantages both to students and faculty" of al tering the present academic structure. "Over the last decade we have made some difficult personnel and resource allocation decisions to enhance the vital role that quality and research would play in the future of this university. The results of these sometimes painful actions have been the recruitment and retention of a high qaulity faculty committed to research as well as to teaching and service," he said. "I believe we must make a parellel commitment to deal with the reality of the two-year college which functionally has always been part of this university." Guskin said another major historical root of Parkside was "the dream of its planners and early faculty and the expectations of the communities" that the new university "would share the academic values and faculty profile" of UWMadison, rather than those of the former State University System campuses which "were not considered peer institutions at the time." Guskin said that research is the "cornerstone" of such quality and "occupies a position of pre-eminence as a standard of quality in American higher education. "Research activity is as fundamental to the development of a public service mission as it is to the development of a teaching mission," Guskin maintained. "The quality of service provided to local communities by universities depends first and foremost on the professional expertise of the Come see us at WLLC D139 faculty who are providing the service. Whether in economic development, social impact asspssmopt, environmental management, or a host of o ther areas where the university can positively impact on the quality of lif e of a community, such expertise can only be developed through experience in research and scholarship," he said. Guskin noted that "with only a few exceptions, every recipient of the distinguished teaching award in recent years has excelled in scholarship and creative activities as well as teaching."

The Gateway Administrative Cabinet made the recommendation to the district board, which is expected to act on the proposal later this month. Nicholas Covelli, Gateway's director of planning, research and evaluation, said members of the cabinet checked with other schools to see how they would handle the drinking age increase. Covelli said there are already seven districts in the state which do not allow beer on campus, and which did not serve alcohol even when the drinking age was 18. He says the cabinet made the recomendation because the school is not equipped to control drinking among underage students. "We didn't want to take the risk and put the district in the position where they would be selling alcohol to minors," said Covelli. During the 1982-83 school year, the last for which figures are available, 583, or 4.6 per cent, of the district's 12,536 s tudents were under age 19. Covelli also said the cabinet felt that the 19-year-old drinking age was only a transitory measure, and that the state may soon raise the drinking age to 21. "If that's the case," Covelli says, "then the majority of our stuents who attend will be underage." Pete Dyhan, parliamentarian of the Gateway student government's executive board, said that most students who attend Gateway events are older students who will not be affected by the drinking age change, however. "A tech school like Gateway has a number of students coming back to school after a number of years, trying to change trades and so forth," said Dyhan.

Dyhan, 27, said the student government, which also programs campus activities, contracts with various clubs to sell beer. A clu b, he says, can make as much as $400 on a good night. Covelli said that since many of the school's events are already held off campus, it would not be difficult to move the events at which alcohol is served to off campus. But Dyhan says that since Gateway is a commuter campus the student government has a difficult time attracting students to events even when they are held on campus. "It would hurt (the clubs) quite a bit," he said. Dyhan said the student government already hires security guards for their events, and it would not be extra work for them to check ro's Unlike the UW-System, wVh icKh has an overall policy which is followed with only a few variations by system campuses, vocational districts are free to set their own alcohoi policies. Richard Logan, the administrative officer of the state's Board of Vocational, Technical and Adult Education, said the ban i s "a local option in that district." Logan said that most of the districts are considering ways to control underage drinking. "It's possible you might get kind of a domino effect," he says. Banning drinking is similar to banning other activities, said Logan. Kenosha Collins, Bloom challenged in primary elections Two Kenosha county elections will be decided during the primary on Sept. II, the race for county clerk and the race for register of deeds. Both races have only two candidates for the office. In the county clerk race, incumbent John Collins is facing firsttime candidate David Singer, director of the city's Housing Rehabilitation Program. Singer, 29, said he would like to consolidate the records in the clerk's office, along with all county records, under one system. "I feel that the combination of my education, involvement and experience allows me to do a good job in that office," says Singer. Singer is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin -Madison, and is working toward his master's degree in public administration at Parkside. He said that incumbent Collins has been on the job long enough. "People feel it's time for a Input/Output change," said Singer. Collins, however, says the job of county clerk involves so many facets of local government that the job requires someone with experience. Collins has been county cleric since 1978, a nd is now seeking his fourth term. He says that not only has his office done a good job, it is continually making improvements in the county's record system. "I have been doing this job with efficiency and integrity," Collins said. "I see no reason for a change in the administration." Collins is also overseeing the installation of the county's computerized records system, which will eventually keep all the county's records in the same place. In the race for register of d eeds, another incumbent, Rose Bloom, is facing Donna Dietman, who is also seeking office for the first time. Dietman, 40, says she is running because there have been too many negative comments about the office, and she says she will make needed improvements there. "As far as I'm concerned there are no issues in this office," said Dietman. "The only thing I'm bringing to this office is courtesy." Dietman says she has spent much time campaigning door-to-door throughout the county. "I believe in what I'm doing," she says. "It's not just a lark." Bloom, 60, is seeking her fifth term as register of deeds. She says that integrity and efficiency have characterized her terms. ' 'When I took over this office there was a six week backlog," she said. "Now we work on a dailv basis." Bloom says that even though the office had a staff reduction there have been no problems keeping up because she takes an active part in the work there. She will also help install the county's computerized records system. "I just keep up with the latest things," she says. Computing: past, present and near future by Chris Pappe Welcome to the first home computing column. By way of introduction, I am going to review the history of the home computer, and, hopefully, provide some insight into what we may expect from the home computer industry in the near future. In 1642, a young French mathematician named Blaise Pascal (yes, the programming language PASCAL was named after him) invented the very first mechanical adding machine. Nearly two hundred years later, in the 1830 s, Charles Babbage designed a machine he called the "Analytical Engine." Although the design was beyond the technology of the time, Babbage is considered by many to be the father of the computer. It wasn't until 1944 that the first "real" computer was constructed by IBM and Harvard. Called the Mark I, this was Babbage's dream come true. Over the next twenty years developments were made in the field of semiconductor technology which led, in 1968, to the very first random access memory (RAM) chip, memory which stores information from the user. This first chip had the capacity to store 32 bytes of in formation (each byte can store a number, letter of t he alphabet or puncutation symbol)., By 1970 th e capacity of RAM chips increased to 128 bytes and allowed the introduction of e lectronic calculators. In 1974 the 6502 microprocessor, the "brain" which runs the computer, was developed by MOS Technologies, Inc. Three years later, Commodore Business Machines, which had acquired MOS, released the first mass-produced home computer, the PET, an acronum for Personal Electronic Transactor. It came with 8K of RAM (the symbol K stands for 1024, so 8K means 8 times 1024, or 8192 memory locations or bytes). It was also in this year that the first Apple computer was built, the Apple H, marking the beginning of a booming home computer industry, which was to include such companies as Atari, Radio Shack and Coleco and so on and on. In 1980 improved techniques allowed individual chips to contain 8K of RAM, and small home computers were becoming increasingly popular. By 1983 competition was fierce and several small companies had fallen by the wayside, leaving the market open for Apple, Commodore and IBM, who released their first home computer, the PCjr. The standard size for memory was now 64K and sophisticated sound and graphics were standard. Apple and Commodore were still using Continued on Page 18 RANGER 9 Thursday, Sept. 6,1984 A Week at the Park Gipson draws attention Campuses ready for new law EVENTS Thursday, Sept. 6 MOVIE "The Empire Strikes Back" (PG) will be shown at 3:30 pm in the Union Cinema.

Y&u've Got yle E I L EMA N 'S "Old Distributed by May Beverages Inc. 3120 64th St. 10 Thursday, Sept. 6,1984 RANGER Gen Con: fact or fantasy by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor Sitting inside of a University building playing games all day sounds like a silly thing to be doing when it's warm and sunny, but it wasn't silly to the ten thousand or so persons from all over the United States and Canada who turned out for GenCon XVII, a game convention that was held at Parkside August 16-19. These conventions began in Lake Geneva in 1968, moving to Parkside a decade later. They have been presented here by their sponsor TSR (of 'Dungeons and Dragons' fame) every August since. The convention's decor is hundreds of tables scattered about the building with a dozen or so players at each table. The games aren't your standard Monopoly or Yahtzee fare; these are role-playing games, games that enable the player to assume another identity, totally escaping into a fantasy world as another being. Players imagine themselves as elves, dwarves, demons, wizards, sorcerers, dragons, or any one of the Marvel Super Heroes, depending on what game they're playing. There are games that re-enact actual wars, enabling players to assume the identities of folks like Hitler and Napoleon. Some players go so far as to actually dress up in costume as the character they are portraying, in order to get into the characterization more seriously (a touch of method acting perhaps.) Some folks are baffled at how so many people can find enjoyment in such fantasizing, but those at the convention seemed to approach it with the seriousness and conviction of an evangilist. Another portion of the convention was an art show with very detailed, colorful paintings of various demons, sorcerers, dragons and such paintings that would make great Iron Maiden album covers and would cause an absolute furor on the 700 Club. The third and final portion of the convention was a sales display in the Phy Ed building. Booths representing dozens of major game companies like TSR, Avalon-Hill, Victory, Etc. were selling games, books, comics and other accessories. The people who were milling about seemed to be buying a lot. Gen Con participants at play There were "endless quest books," which are books that enable the reader to become the leading character as he or she reads on, providing multiple endings for whatever path the reader chooses to take. There were several of the latest Marvel comics, obviously in an attempt to promote TSR's new Marvel Super Heroes game, and there were games with titles like 'Armor City Stomp,' 'War Hoop,' and 'Who's Nuking Nevada?' as well as advanced and genius editions of the familiar 'Dungeons and Dragons.' From upstairs in the Phy Ed building, you could see everything through a window overlooking the gym. Two of the "gamers" were seated at this window staring through it motionlessly as if engrossed in a particularly good episode of 'Dr. Who.' And what type of person would spend four days imagining himself as a dwarf or a demon? There were fat people, skinny people, people with long hair and people with shaven heads. There was everything from a thirtyish chap wearing a Mighty Thor t-shirt with Elvis Presley's 'I Got Stung' blaring from his portable radio (it was the seventh anniversary of Presley's death that day), to a 14- year-old boy sitting alone staring at a "boom box" playing Rush's 'Finding My Way.' People would roll dice to determine probability in real life situations; spend entire days in the 92- degree heat wearing long red cloaks and carrying toy swords. They would chortle with delight when emerging victorious in a fantasized "battle to the death." TSR representative Becky Deignan said, "We get a lot of families, and have been getting more and more women, but it's predominantly men aged 11-18 at the conventions." A bystander who came out of curiosity stated that she believed "These are people who can't handle reality, so they escape into those little fantasy worlds." Somebody once said, "Life is but a game." A convention such as this gives one the impression that there are a lot of people who take that statement a bit seriously. Games gain popularity in the college market (NOCR) It's been said the Battle of Waterl oo was won on the playing fields of Eton -a testament to the importance of games in college life. Today board games are enjoying renewed popularity among college students. Students' skill at Trivial Pursuit, Dungeons and Dragons, and a dozen other favorite games may not lead to historic victories later on, but it has game manufacturers smiling as if they had just passed go and collected $200. The big winner at the moment is Trivial Pursuit. College students account for 15 p ercent of the game's primary players and they are credited with spreading the word and making the game the biggest gaming success in recent history. Sales in 1984 could hit $700 million, a figure twice last year's total sales for the entire board game industry. John Nason, vice president for marketing at Selchow & Righter, manufacturers of Trivial Pursuit, sees its popularity as a reaction against the solitary, asocial aspects of video games, once the campus leisure champs. Though trivia forms the core of the game, Trivial Pursuit has even won praise from one of trivia's loudest critics, Norman Corwin, author of "Trivializing America," a complaint against the collapse of normative judgment in American life, says "This kind of trivial pursuit is perfectly okay. In fact, it serves a useful function. There's nothing wrong in knowing facts." Trivia as play is healthy, he says. Fantasy and role-playing games, which also got their start on college campuses, remain popular with students. Deiter Sturm of TSR Inc., manufacturer of Dungeons and Dragons, says that while the ten-tofourteen- year-old age group now accounts for the biggest number of D&D players, 18-to-24-year-olds, many of them college students, are still a large percentage of the three to four million D&D players in the U.S. There are some new developments in campus role-playing games. On some campuses, women create their own all-female playing groups. Most D&D player s -88 to 90 percent -are male, and Sturm admits D&D is potentially sexist. Other types of role-playing games are challenging D&D's popularity, however, A new TSR game called Marvel Super Heroes allows players to play comic book stars such as Spiderman. It is already finding popularity on campus. Next month the company will introduce an Adventures of Indiana Jones game These games, says Sturm, have more clearly defined scripts than D&D and should appeal to players with a different sort of imagination. Strategy games remain popular as well. Conservative Parker Brothers has high hopes for Pente, a new strategy game it bought in January. Though it resembles chess or Othello, Pente is extremely easy to learn and still requires strategy to play, according to Parker Brother's Cathy City. City says the company, which has never targeted the college market specifically before, will probably sponsor major on-campus promotions and Pente tournaments in conjunction with a big marketing push this fall Future Napoleons take warning: The playing fields (and boards) of America's colleges are busy places these days. RANGER 11 Thursday, Sept. 6,1984 I Gamers and their money prove big business by Bob Kiesling Community News Editor In terms of tourism, there is nothing that quite compares to GenCon, which brought about 8500 visitors to southeast Wisconsin th is August. In fact, say officials in Racine and Kenosha, the four-day game convention is becoming very big business indeed. For example, hotels from Chicago to Milwaukee report rooms being booked months in advance, with some hotels closer to Parkside booked solid by March. Tourism officials from both Racine and Kenosha staffed an information booth that provided information on attractions in the two counties. Carole DeWeerdt, of the Racine Convention and Visitors' Bureau, said the response was excellent. "Everything we had to offer there was quite a big of interest in," she said. "We definitely want to provide the same service next year." Many of the queries, said DeWeerdt, were for information about shopping facilities in the area. A study conducted during last year's convention by Parkside professors James Rovelstad and Judy Vilmain found that convention participants, and their families or friends, spend about $1.4 million in 1983. And while figures for this year are not yet in, estimates place the amount generated by the 1984 Gen- Con at significantly higher than last year's, since the number of advance registrations was also much higher. Perhaps more important, the study said that most of the participants -about 93 percent -came from outside the two counties, and the money they spent would not otherwise have been brought into the area. The report said, however, that because most GenCon attendees are a highly segmented group - young, highly educated and mostly students, professionals and managers - that local business, with the exception of hotels and campgrounds, have had difficulty targeting the convention participants. Louis Micheln, Executive Director of the Kenosha Area Chamber of Com merce, said most local merchants do not deal in game-related products. "Not many have any relation," he said. Micheln did say, however, that restaurants and shopping facilities were of i nterest to the non-participating visitors—the parents, spouses and friends of the convention participants. In the study, Rovelstad and Vilmain said that businesses could increase their GenCon-related revenue if they marketed themselves more aggressively. "GenCon makes a substantial impact on the Racine/Kenosha area, which most residents and businesses seem to be unaware of," concluded the report. "More importantly, they probably have missed significant business opportunities - with the exception of the lodging and camping operators." But Micheln and DeWeerdt are confident that GenCon will continue to grow, and they plan to market the area much more aggressively next year.

In the months she has been Vice Chancellor, Shutler has determined that few, if any, changes will be necessary in the system here. "One of t he major reasons I took this job was because things were so well organized at Parkside. I wouldn't take a job where things were in such good order and then start making changes." Coming to Parkside from various administrative positions at universities in San Dieto, Hawaii, Nevada and Alaska, Shutler's first love was archaelogy, an interest she's had since childhood. Shutler has participated in many digs" including one recent research project which took her to the seven acre mound site of Tell Halif n ear the Kibbutz Lahav in Israel; a site that dates back to at least 4000 B.C. "I decided to be an archaeologist at the age of nine," she said. She received her doctorate in anthropology at the University of Arizona in 1958. Shutler's dissertation topic was "Research on the Curing Beliefs and Practices of the Yacqui Indians," studying the topic with the assistance of a Yacqui Shaman. And what led Shutler to the Parkside administration? Because Parkside has such a lean administration," she said. "They spend less money on adminstration and more to hire faculty." She went on to say that, "I also am attracted to Parkside's 'let's try it approach. They're innovative, they try and find solutions to prob^ International Publications is sponsoring a poetry contest open to all college students desiring to have their poetry anthologized, with cash prizes going to the top five poems, prizes ranging from $100 to $10.

"It's very difficult to maintain a quality of excel lence in an open access situation as we have here, and Parkside has succeeded in doing SO. One thing that Shutler said she would like to see change at Parkside is the number of minority faculty members. "We're doing all right as far as women are concerned, but we need more Blacks and His panics among our faculty," she said. "There are some very talented minority teachers out there and we have so-few." Shutler added that there is no shortage of fac ulty at Parkside, per f^li\th?y're ^ways looking for fresh talent as additions.

THE MUSIC BOX is a remake of the 1932 Oscar winning short subject which featured Laurel and Hardy, the new version starring Pryor and Reynolds in Stan and OUie's roles of two bumblers who attempt to cany a huge piano to a home that sits atop a long flight of stairs.

Edwards' idea to expand this slight premise from a three reel featurette to a two hour feature is a little outrageous. Pryor is a funny man and may be able to play the frustration amusingly enough (if he isn't cursing the piano too heavily to be funny), but Reynolds is hardly a comedian or an actor. It's asking far too much to expect a chemistry between Reynolds and Pryor to match the chemistry between Laurel and Hardy, and it is also asking a heck of a lot to expect this feature to come anywhere near the excellence of itsclassic original. Pryor has said that he believes Laurel and Hardy to be the finest comedians in screen history, and is flattered with his role. Reynolds has not seemed to comment on the film. Spokespersons from Columbia state that the film should be released near Christmastime, but Edwards is said to be trying to hold off f or a summer 1985 release date.

Feature Editor Well, it's fall again (almost), and I guess you all know what that means. Of course, it means it's time once again for my First Annual, Sight Unseen, New TV Season Predictions, in which I, Veteran film Critic, Humorist and now Assistant Feature Editor Rick Luehr, make my predictions for the success, or failure, of the new fall series, without having seen any of them. Here goes nothin'. (Just a figure of speec h. I hope.) *** STREETHAWK (ABC) -This new show tells the tender story of Jesse Mach, police public relations guy, who becomes a vigilante with the aid of a high-tech, computerized motorcycle. Kinda like "Knight Rider," only with half the wheels. And half the brains. It'll last eight weeks. Tops. ••• E.R. (CBS) -E lliott Gould stars as an ear, nose and throat specialist who, in order to avoid bankrupcy, works nights in a Chicago hospital emergency room. The show appears to have a good cast, and, mainly because of Elliott Gould, it should be a hit. ••• PAPER DOLLS (ABC) -This new night time soap features heavily made-up teenage models. It should appeal t o the sleaze lovers, and, of course, the raincoat crowd. A bit of local interest: Morgan Fairchild plays a character named Racine. Six weeks. •** JESSIE (ABC) -I was prepared to give th is new series starring Lindsay Wagner as a police psychiatrist eight weeks, but now I hear that the show is having severe problems and may never get on the air. Pity. ••• CHARLES IN CHARGE (CBS) - Scott baio plays a college student who works as a family helper for a family of five. Even though, for the most part, I have this thing against 'teen idol', Baio does have some talent, and, given the right material, could make the show a success. Put me down for a maybe. •** HIGHWAY TO HEAVEN (NBC) - Michael Landon produces and stars in this show about an angel who comes to earth to "spread joy, and help people in need." Sounds like 'Attack of the Killer Schmaltz.' Then again, people bought 'Little House on the Prairie.' This show could mak e it. I hope not. *** DREAMS (CBS) -This show about a rock band seems to be influenced by MTV. Fil led with "fast cut rock videos" it will try to capture the video crowd. It will fail. •»» IT'S YOUR MOVE (NBC) -Jason Bateman plays a scheming 14 year old con man who tries to make life miserable for his next door neighbor. Just what we need, a positive role model for today's youth. Eight weeks. PEOPLE DO THE CRAZIEST THINGS (ABC) -Bert Convy hosts this show, which shows ordinary people's reactions to outrageous situations. This fiercely original idea (ripped off from Allen Funt), and Convy's unmistakable charm and charisma should keep this show going for about three weeks. •** THE BILL COSBY SHOW (NBC) - Probably the only sure-fire hit of the season. Cosby plays an obstetrician with a wife and four kids. •** WHO'S THE BOSS (ABC) -Tony Danza portrays a man who works as a live-in family helper. Boy, there's nothing like an original idea, huh? Six weeks. GLITTER(ABC) -This "big budget extravaganza" is about the lives and loves of the staff of a "slick and trendy" picture magazine, and the people they write about. More night time soap opera trash. It'll probably be a hit. *** V (NBC) -Based on the two hit miniseries, this show tells of the continuing efforts of lizard faced aliens to take over earth. Maybe V will mark the return of good science fiction to television. Somehow, though, I doubt it. HAWAIIAN HEAT (ABC) -This is the story of two Chicago cops who move to Hawaii and work as undercover men. Lots of nice scenery and plenty of babes in bikinis, but not much else. Three months. ••• HUNTER (NBC) -The story of a maverick cop and his tough-butfeminine partner who are not afraid to bend the rules in their fight against crime. Sounds like a new American classic, in the tradition of 'My Moths* the Car.' Two weeks. MIAMI VICE (NBC) -This crime drama tells the haunting story of two Miami vice cops named (get this) Sonny Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs. The show also features an alligator named Elvis, who once swallowed LSD a nd an alarm clock (no, I didn't make that up). One month. PARTNERS IN CRIME (NBC) - Lynda Carter and Loni Anderson (what a pair) co-star in this comedy- mystery. They portray ex-wives of a murdered private eye who form their own detective agency. Both Carter and Anderson have proven good audience draws in the past, and the show should be a success. *•* FINDER OF LOST LOVES (ABC) - Boy, sounds like a real winner. Tony Franciosa plays a detective who acts as a, you guessed it, finder of lost loves. Real exciting and action packed. If the audience can stay awake, this one may last a couple of months. er O'Neill and that perennial favorite, Jon-Eric Hexum, as a team of private eyes who pose as a male model and a photographer. Once the novelty of beefcake runs out the show will go to oblivion where it belongs. *** HOT PURSUIT (NBC) -Kerrie Keane and Eric Pierpoint star as a married couple on the run after the wife is framed for murder by a rich socialite. This formula worked for 'The Fugitive' and it probably will work here too. PUNKY BREWSTER (NBC) -This is the heartwarming tale of a lovable, feisty little girl and the cranky, strong-minded old photographer she comes to live with. Sounds about as intelligent as it's title. Two months. MURDER, SHE WROTE (CBS) - Angela Lansbury stars as an Agatha Christie-like mystery writer who dabbles as a real life mystery solver. It sounds as though this will be a classy production, and it should be a hit. **• Well, there they are, my fearless predictions for the coming season. I want everybody to know that I stand by t hese predictions. Unless, of course, they turn out to be wrong, in which case, I never heard of them. It looks like it will be a good season to use your television set as a decorative planter. A scene from Star Wars Empire Strikes Back •••• by Rick Luehr Asst. Feature Editor Editor's Note: Film reviews will be rated by stars, zero to five, with five meaning superlative; zero meaning terrible. The first film presented by PAC this semester will be 'The Empire Strikes Back.' As I 'm sure you all know, 'Empire' is the second film in the enormously successful 'Star Wars' trilogy. Directed by Irvin Kerschner, Empire Strikes Back con tinues the adventures of Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo and the rest of the 'Star Wars' gang. The film also introduces new characters Lando Calrissian, and, of course, the green, shriveled little Jedi master, Yoda. 'The Empire Strikes Back' is a much more somber, serious film that its predecessor. It doesn't have as much of the sense of fun that made 'Star Wars' so enjoyable. Also, the film really doesn't stand on its own. It's almost required that you see 'Star Wars' first in order to understand exactly what is going on at times. These, thought are relatively minor flaws which should not detract from your overall enjoyment of the film. •••• COVER UP .(CBS). -Starring.

Alan Thicke, Steve Martin, Charro and Lionel Ritchie were to be the first guests. Doctor Who New episodes Doctor Who's legion of fans will be pleased to know that PBS station WMVT Channel 10 has purchased over sixty new episodes of The Doctor, including 14 John Pertwee and 13 Peter Davison s hows, the twentieth anniversary show, the pilot for the spinoff s eries "K9 and Company," and 23 repeats of the Tom Baker episodes. The Doctor has developed quite a cult following of "Whovians" in the Wisconsin area ever since channel 10 started running the English Science-Fiction series in March, 1983. Nearly one thousand people turned out for a Doctor Who premier party last fall, while a Doctor Who lookalike contest sponsored by the station last March also drew a great deal of attention. In the series, which began in 1963, the Doctor has been played by the late William Hartnell, and by Patrick Troughton, John Pertwee, Tom Baker and Peter Davison. The current Doctor Who on the new episodes will be played by Collin Baker (no relation to Tim). The new season will be aired on channel 10 Saturdays at 8 pm beginning November 3.

Pis Beftce BftD&eRS. ©owp RflWGEg by Ric k Luehr Asst. Feature Editor Every once in a while, a new book c omes along that you simply have to read. And once you start, you just can't put it down. Well, the new 1984-85 Parkside Undergraduate Catalog has just hit the stands, and you know something? This is not one of those books. This is not to say that it doesn't have its interesting parts, but overall the plot is a little vague and hard to follow. Just kidding. Actually, it is rather interesting, and I'd like to share some of my feelings about it. First of all, the cover. I'm sure most of you remember that the old 1982-84 catalog had that really keen design in green on the cover. Well, guess what? The design is back again this time, only now it's in blue. I d on't know about you, but I think this is a step in the right direction. Turning to the inside, we find that the first section, called 'Parkside Perspective', remains essentially the same as the old catalog, except several parts have been omitted. Among the omissions are: Special Education Mission, University Extension, and Alumni and Placement Service. I don't know why these sections were deleted, but I, for one, am going to miss them. Looking to the 'Fees and Expenses' section, we find what I consider to be the first major boo-boo: tuition prices. As most of us are aware, tuition went up this year from $519 to about $572. You wouldn't know it from looking at the catalog. It still lists the old rate. Come on folks, lets get on the ball here. Now we get to the meat of the catalog: the course descriptions. This section is quite well done, in spite of some typos. For example, English 295, Literary Analysis is listed as Literacy Analysis. Of course, typos can happen. But you'd think that they'd be more careful in the English section! There are some courses listed that I find fascinating. At least the titles sound good. For instance, Phy. Ed. 332, Games of Low Organization. Sounds like fun, huh? Or how about Computer Science 467, Computability and Automation.This class is described as dealing with things like Turing machines, Kleene's Predicate and Ackermann's Function. You need to take another course just to be able to understand the capsule description of this one. In conclusion, I would like to say that the new 1984-96 Parkside Catalog would make a fine addition to anyone's collection. I'd like to say that but I can't. But seriously, pick one up and read it -it may be the most important book you read in college!

Kilps, 33, repl aces his former coach, Hal Henderson, who resigned recently to become head coach at St. Leo's in Tampa, Florida. Kilps is a 1975 graduate of Parkside, and was a four-year soccer letter winner. He earned his master's degree in physical education from Bowling Green (Ohio) University i n 1977. He chaired the 1983 Midwest Region Ail-American committee of the National Soccer Coaches Association. He has also lectured for the United States Soccer Federation. He is also a nationally certified athletic trainer. He is a popular clinician at soccer summer camps, holding some camps here at Parkside. When asked why he wanted to return to Parkside, Kilps replied, "I have always been a supporter of Parkside, being an alumni, and as a supporter I've kept up with their soccer team. Also, after coaching at a small Division 3 school for seven years, I was looking o nto the next rung in the ladder. "I am also among old friends here in the Racine-Kenosha area. People that I have known in college and old friends are here." There are 21 members on the soccer team this year, eight of whom are returning players. Three of the returning eight are starters. Many of t he new players are entering freshmen and transfer students. A few came from Aurora (111.) College with Kilps. "I'm very enthusiastic about the team," commented Kilps. "Practice started a week before Labor Day, so as a team we haven't had a lot of time to work together. I am pleased with the returning players, the ones in their fourth year. They are enthusiastic and happy and provide a good base for the newer players. I am confident with this team. We have s ome tough schools to play against - Marquette, Madison and Green Bay. They will be the hardest this season. Other than that, I am looking for a .500 sea son." In his seven years as a soccer coach and trainer at Aurora College, he never had a losing season. Although Aurora competes in NCAA Division 3, Kilps' teams have posted a 4-5-2 reco rd against Division 1 opponents. His 1983 r ecord was 12-3-2, his best at Aurora. Kilps will also teach courses in physiology and kinesology this semester. Rick Kilps, new soccer coach Baseball in the fall? Yes, and this is the second year of a split season for the Parkside team. The split was due to the inclement weather so familiar to Wisconsin springs. The first meeting will be this Thursday, Sept. 6, at 2 p.m. Students should meet in the Phy Ed building. The first practice will be held Monday, Sept. 10, with pitchers and catchers from 2:30-3:30 and other positions from 3:45-5:30. The season opens Sept. 15 at noon when Parkside plays Marquette here.

In fact, in his seven years at Parkside, Rosa believes "This is the best team ever because of the team's togetherness." The strength of th e team consists of George Kapheim-senior, Tim Renzelmann-senior, Mark Huntsenior, Rich Miller-junior, Ted Miller-senior, Dan Stublaski-senior and Andy Serrano-junior. According to Rosa, these runners have the ability to run together and push one another. The remaining members of t he team include Mark Manningsenior, Andy Kaestner-junior, Mike Rohl-sophomore, Dan Petersonfreshman and Scott Rench-freshman. Rosa said the success of his team depends on how well the team trains and how well they are mentally prepared. Having been a marathon runner himself at Parkside for four years, Rosa knows the value of hard training. During the initial stages of t raining, the men will run between seventy and eighty-five miles per week. They run seven days a week. The hardest practices fall on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the easiest ones are on Fridays, the day before Saturday meets.

A "mind grinder" consists of r unning an hour around the track. Rosa doesn't use this technique much because the team finds it rather tedious going around the same circle with little change of scenery. He does, however, like repitition work and building up mileage. Besides conditioning, Rosa feels that each runner must mentally prepare himself for the grueling season. "Readiness," said Rosa, "is what really counts."

All-star by Jim Neibaur Professional wrestling has been under at tack for quite some time. Despite its popularity, its detractors claim that it is not a sport, that it is merely staged entertainment. One detractor, sportscaster Hod Luck, went so fas as to enter the ring and compete with wrestler Billy Robinson. Luck later had more respect for wrestling after Robinson whipped him handily. The late comedian Andy Kaufman made headlines after a confrontation with wrestler Jerry "The King" Lawler. Milwaukee promoter Dennis Hilgart stated that "People who say such things about wrestling can either get into the ring or we can take 'em outside to get their can cleaned." One person who is quite serious about professional wrestling is Greg Gagne, a former tagteam champion and son of the great Vern Gagne, a champ in his own right. Gagne has been wrestling professionally for about twelve years.

About the good guys/bad guys wrestling, Gagne stated, "In any sport there are good guys and bad guys. But with wrestling they tend to dramatize more and bend the rules." Even though they deserve no respect due to their unsportsmanlike tactics in the ring wrestlers like Adrian Adonis are still good athletes and objectively they're good wrestlers." Dennis Hilgart said, "Guys like Reggie Jackson in baseball are considered bad guys by many, but they aren't given the freedom of weekly television interviews like wrestlers are." On these interviews, wrestlers display their flamboyancy with some amazing little quirks and idiosyncrasies which are rarely, if e ver, questioned by the wrestling fans (known within the trade as "Kayfabes"). Wrestling is a wild and exciting thing to watch, but some believe it to be an absolute degeneration of Continued on Page 19 ,— WELCOME — I to IMLerTlme > r / / > rowr# - ^ f , V WELCOME BACK STUDENTS!

Distributed by C.J.W., Inc. 2117-81 st St., 552-7273. 18 Thursday, Sept. 6, 1984 RANGER All-American honors awarded to athletes by Carol Kortendick Sports Editor Since the beginning of time, awards have been given for human accomplishments and feats, whether intellectual, heroic or athletic. In the past academic year, 22 Parkside athletes earned Ail-American honors. Ail-American honors are given on two bases. For individual sports, such as cross country, track and wrestling, the athlete must reach nationals. He/she then must place in the top ranks of the event, each sport varying in its cutoff point. For example, one event may have 100 participants. To make Ail- American, an individual might have to place in the top 20 out of the 100 competitors. For team sports such as baseball, softball, soccer, basketball and volleyball, the individual is chosen by an Ail-American election committee. To make Ail-American, the individual's team does not have to attend nationals. Though it's unnecessary to attend, Wayne Dannehl, Parkside's athletic director said, "To get ranking on team sports, it's quite advantageous to get to nationals. Obviously, it is more difficult to get on Ail-American when you're on a team," concluded Dannehl. Besides being All-American, some of the students have gained Ail-American Academic honors. According to Dannehl, these students are outstanding in both academics and athletics. According to Dannehl, these students must maintain a 3.5 average and be good in the particular sport. The students honored were Erik Womeldorf, basketball; Laura Hess, volleyball; Ted Keyes, wrestling; Janet Boeren, softball. The following students were honored as All-Americans : In cross country, George Kapheim, 1983, was honored. The NAIA Ail-Americans for soccer were Dan Opferman, Jimmy Banks and Jim Spielmann, all for 1982-83. The NAIA Ail-Americans for softball were Jackie Rittmer, Ail- American 1983-84; Michele Martino, 1984, Janet Koenig, 1984. For track, the winners were Ron Condon, NAIA All American outdoor walk, 1983-84; Mark Manning, NAIA Ail-American outdoor walk, 1979; Dona Briscol, NAIA All America cross country 1980-81, 600 yd. 1981-82, 3000 M Outdoor, 1984 Ted Miller, NAIA AU-Americai 1984; Sarah Hiett, NAIA All-Ameri can 1984; Mike Rohl, Ail-American 1984; and Andy Kaestner, All American Outdoor 10K Walk, 1984 Honored for wrestling were Mike Vania, NAIA Ail-American 198081 84 and NCAA Ail-American 1983 Mike Winter, NAIA Ail-American 1984; Matt Kluge, NAIA All-Ameri can, 1984; and Todd Yde, NCAA All-American 1984. New coach sparks positive attitudes There is a new face among the coaches this year. Wendy Miller has replaced Noreen Goggin as Parkside's women's tennis and basketball coach. Goggin is now attending UW-Madison to complete her graduate work. Miller is a 1977 graduate of UWLaCrosse and received her Masters degree at Ball State University (Indiana) in 1979. She also spent one year at Valparaiso University before joining the coaching staff at Beloit College. She was the head coach of women's volleyball, basketball and softball there for four years before coming to Parkside. This will be her first year coaching tennis on the college leve. "When all else fails, you go back to fundamentals," she said. This is the approach that Miller is taking to change the fortunes of the Parkside women's tennis team. Last year's team had a disappointing dual meet record under Goggin; however Miller feels that this year's team can turn that around. Six members of last year's squad are returning: Ann Althaus, Lynn Euting, Kim Kranich, Linda Masters, Jackie Rittmer and Carol Swenson. A new freshman, June Herrera, will also join the team. "Right now, we have just enough players for a team," Miller said. "If we had more people it would be better because there would be MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IN THE SQUARE T SCREEN COMING MONDAY, SEPT. 10 y * BEER * SODA • WINE • POPCORN THE PARKSIDE UNION more competition and if someone gets sick, somebody could fill in. As it is, we're at a bare minimum." Miller has enlisted Esther Will, a lecturer in the Life Science department as assistant tennis coach. "She's my right-hand person," Miller said of Will, "and she's also a very good tennis player." Miller says the team has a positive attitude this year and stated, "There's been a lot of enthusiasm and good spirits, and I think they're looking forward to a good season. The only place we can go is up, and that's what we're concentrating on. The record was dismal last year and hopefully we can improve; but we're going to have a lot of fun doing it." Wendy Miller, new women's tennis coach I-O: Computer future Continued from Page 8 the 6502 chip as the heart of their machines, but IBM was using the more powerful and faster microprocessor, the Intel 8088. The IBM PCjr was a major advance over the earlier home computers, and still is. It features a luxurious BASIC language and 128K of RAM. Not to be left behind, Apple introduced the Macintosh last January. The Macintosh was designed to be so easy to use that it has no built-in language for programming. To communicate with it, you use a device called "a mouse," which allows you to select from a choice of options by moving a pointer around on the screen. As an indication of the growing popularity of home computers, Apple released another new machine not six months after the introduction of the Macintosh. Called the Apple He, it is based on the 6502 a nd features 128K memory with sleek, modern styling. At around $1300, this model should prove quite popular. Now let's look to the future. At the June Computer Electronics Show, a showcase for the very latest in home technology, some very interesting home computers were demonstrated. In particular, a company called Amiga, who until then specialized in joystick controllers, previewed what was to be their entry in the home computer marketplace. Based on the Motorola 68000, the computer, code-named the Amiga Lorraine, promises to be the most advanced home computer available. "How much will it cost?" I hear you ask. Only around $1,500, according to Amiga, and they hoped to have it ready for sale by this Christmas. As it stands, however, Amiga Inc. is being bought out by none other than Commodore, and Commodore refuses to comment on the future of the Lorraine. If past performance is anything to go by, then Commodore will be the one to make this the very best in home computers available to us all. I eagerly await the announcement of the Commodore Lorraine.

Gigliotti stressed that if anyone sees a rabid animal on campus they should get out of its way and call security. "Don't try to catch it or anything. Rabies shots are painful, I'm told," he said. Ranger Needs Sports Writers Camping completes summer bbyy Carol Kortendick thp vacation Sports Editor Being a city-bred girl, I heard nature beckoning and thought the best way to answer the call was to go camping. I begged my friend, Debbie, who had never camped before, to accompany me, and when she finally succumbed, I proceeded to make plans. Two weeks be fore the date set, I mailed the money and reservations. Two doubts p lagued my mind: one being that we wouldn't get the reservations, the other being that something would happen to prevent us from going. The doubts became reality. My friend contracted a virus and backed out. When I called the camp, the ranger informed me that the reserved campsites were usually filled by January and February, but if we wanted to try for unclaimed sit es we were welcome to come Saturday morning. , With this in mind, I called Debbie and we decided that if her health improved, we'd go. Friday arrived with a healthy Debbie and a hopeful Carol. Down in the Parkside Recreation Center, we found two charming, helpful young men (the only ones on the entire trip) when we checked out camping equipment. We were going to ask them to go camping with us, but the tent only slept two. After one of them fumbled with the Coleman lantern for half an h our, we decided not to take it and we left them there. Returning home from shopping, we packed. We kept in mind that we might have to return home the same day we left, but we were positive, or you could say desperate. The day started at 5:30 a.m. with the alarm clock invading my dreams. We set out at 7 a.m., but not before mother warned us of the dangers of meeting young, attractive men, who were hunting for girls camping alone. Little did she know we had planned to do some hunting of o ur own. Halfway there, the blue sky changed to grey. I hoped Debbie wouldn't notice. She did, but continued driving north. In the park, we pulled up among 10 care and went into the ranger's office, where we placed our names on the waiting list. There were 17 sites available; we were number 21 on the list. At 10 a.m. the ranger began reading off names. Our hopes sunk each time someone answered. It started raining outside, and I thought, "Great! If we do get a site, we'll have a lousy weekend, that stupid weatherman!" The weather, however, was on our side. The clouds probably persuaded campers to change their plans and when our name was called, we had a decent selection of campsites. Two hours later we were soaking in the sun's rays. A recommendation to all new campers: before embarking on a trip, learn how to set up a tent. We struggled for about an hour until we finally succeeded in making it look like a tent. When we finished "setting up," we began to prepare dinner. My cooking prowess and Debbie's fresh vegetables provided a delicious meal. Following supper, we hiked through the campgrounds, then returned to our site for an early night in. The sun woke us the next morning. After breakfast, we set out to go boating. We drove to the camp's corner store to sign out a boat. We returned to camp, found our boat and after a few quick lessons to Debbie, pushed her out to sea. The lake had few occupants. Not having rowed for a while, I took a few moments to adjust. After spinning around and around I figured out how to stop and continued onward. We looked fo r a remote spot where we could anchor and catch some rays. Debbie decided to give rowing a try. We had to think of how to get Debbie in the center seat and me in her seat without tipping. After a slight struggle and nearly tipping over the boat, we were seated. I had little past experience with boats; Debbie had none. With no effort at all, Debbie steered us into a swampy section of the lake. It took only a few muffled words under Debbie's breath and some funny stares from some onlookers to change our seating arrangements. I felt like the hero of the situation until I navigated the craft into the 'Land of Lily Pads,' as Debbie laughingly dubbed it. I didn't laugh. When I saw the people staring again, I tried to make it look like I had guided the boat into the swamp for a reason and I could easily get it out. It didn't work and I ended up looking like a city-bred girl. Boredom descented onto Debbie so we decided to go back to camp. You could bet that if there were any men on that lake we would have stayed out all day. As it was, we were content with the two hours. We l anded, walked back to our site and ate. After devouring some of our weH-supplied stock, we were going to try the beach again. We flattened the blanket out onto a remote area of sand. We d idn't bother anyone, and we hoped no one would bother us, except for the type of man mother warned us against. As it was, even they didn't bother us. Thus we spent a peaceful three hours acquiring tans. We were hungry again, so we hiked back (in her car) to grill some steaks, potatoes and corn on the cob. Again, we had another masterpiece. We decided to try boating again, this time at dusk. I did the rowing. When it became too dark, we went back to camp. Since it was Sunday evening, most of the campers had left, including our neighbors. Having no desire to sit at a pitch-black site (we left the lantern at Parkside), I made a blazing fire. My Girl Scout skills were insulted when Debbie asked me if I used lighter fluid. I was insulted further when Debbie sat in the tent while I was staring into the fire. We retired early and I fell asleep immediately. Debbie did not, and when she woke me two hours later, I knew something was wrong. "Listen," she whispered. We both laid there waiting for the noise to return. Sure enough, it did. Someone or something was prowling around our tent. Remembering that we had left the garbage out, I thought it was a racoon. I told Debbie that it was probably an animal looking for our corn cobs and potato skins. "It's only a racoon," I mumbled, trying to reassure Debbie, though I didn't feel very confident myself. The footsteps fell rathfcr heavily for a small animal, and the area was too well populated for bears. The steps went to the back of our tent, stopped, walked to the front, stopped, then walked away. "It had to be a racoon," I repeated. Debbie answered in agreement, but I knew she didn't believe me. I closed my eyes, hoping sleep would re scue me, because I would have rather died in my s leep than face a crazy maniac. When the morning arrived, we climbed out of the tent and discovered that, sure enough, the garbage had been tipped over. But it was strange, because nothing was taken out and there were no animal footprints. There were, however, large footprints along side the tent. It was our last day and we decided to do what we did all weekend, go boa ting and lay out in the sun. I boarded the boat first, then Debbie jumped in. Again I rowed. We were well into the middle of the lake, when Debbie noticed water in the boat, but she wasn't sure if it was seeping in. "Carol," she said, "does it look like water is coming in?" I peered over her seat. The gurgling water resembled a small drinking fountain. It didn't take me long to row back t o shore. The rest of t he trip was uneventful. We ate again, lay out in the sun and were harrassed by a Strang ranger. He look about forty, and resembled the type who chases young girls to prove he's macho. We disassembled camp, packed and were on our way. We dro ve about twenty miles out of ou r way to discover that the place we were going to Vjfcit before going home was closed. Professional Continued from Page 17 athletic competition. Whether or not you're interested in large animalistic fellows pounding upon one another or not is a matter of taste. Anyone can see, however, that these wrestlers do train athletically and must be in pretty good shape to wrestling be able to pick e ach other up, fall hard to the mat and engage in some very impressive acrobatic manuevers. Wrestling is also, historically, our oldest sport. For these reasons, it deserves respect whether it is faked or not.
