Jansson Debate drew big crowd, covered issues by Kari Dixon According to challenger Pete Jansson, incumbent Democratic Congressman Les Aspin is an "other-oriented politician who pays so much attention to theoretical things that he cannot deal effectively with the real problems of the 1st (Congressional) District." Jansson, according to Aspin, is a politician who is too closely aligned with the policies of the Reagan Administration to benefit those who would be his constituents. The two candidates voiced these thoughts and several others during a debate sponsored by the Social Science Roundtable and the League of Women Voters Monday at noon in the Union Cinema. Questions from the press and a capacity crowd were presented to the two men, who are engaged in their second consecutive battle for the office. Jansson used the debate as the occasion to announce his new plan to generate jobs, called "Project 10,000." His plan states that "not only is the state worse off than the rest of the nation, but the 1st District is much worse off." This he blamed on Aspin. "Aspin has the eighth-worst spending record in Congress," Jansson said. "He has fought against all the positive changes that Reagan "If we don't fool around with this (arms control), then we won't be around to fool with any other issues."—Aspin Administration has attempted to make." Aspin said that in his opinion, the question of peace is the most important issue. "If we don't fool around with this, then we won't be around to fool with any other issues." The next most important issue, he said, is the issue of jobs. "In this district, the structure of the economy is changing. Industry is moving out and we don't know what is coming in. But, there's no reason why we can't recover," he said. Aspin and Jansson differ greatly on the issues of abortion and school prayer. "I do not support a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortion, but I am against the use of federal funds for abortions," Aspin said. Jansson charged that his opponent did vote in favor of the use of federal funds for abortion. "I think that the Supreme Court was wrong to reject the rightto- life view," he said, adding that he does support an amendment prohibiting abortions. Jansson is in favor of a constitutional amendment allowing organized prayer in the public schools. Aspin is in favor of a moment of silence for students to use as they wish. On the issue of domestic content, Jansson said that he does not think it will succeed. "My mind is open, though," he said. / • Jtil "Not only is the ,5^—^ iB| state worse off than the rest of the nation^ but the 1st District is much worse off."—Jansson wk Aspin said he feels that this is a must. "This legislation would create more jobs for the 1st District than any other," he said. When the candidates were given the opportunity to pose one question to each other, Jansson declined. Aspin asked Jansson, "Pete, I'd like to hear how you differ from Ronald Reagan." Jansson replied by listing how Aspin differed from Reagan. "I'm my own man," he said. In his concluding remarks, Jansson questioned Aspin's effectiveness and his ethics. "We are at the point where we can't blame Reagan or Earl for our problems any more," he said. "We have to blame our congressman." Jansson went on to say that Aspin is too concerned with the theoretical aspects of the issues. "There are think tanks in Washington for that," he continued. Aspin closed by saing that he is not dealing with the theoretical, he is dealing with reality. "Nuclear war, the CIA wars, the defense increase, Medicare cuts and unemployment are very real," he said. "We must add to or modify the current Reagan plan or there won't be any 1st District left to represent." Environment, property ownership divide prairie by Bob Riesling Community News Editor The fight over 1,825 acres of some of Wisconsin's most valuable prairie took visible shape last Tuesday as about 200 people attended a public hearing on a proposed land use program for the Chiwaukee Prairie-Carol Beach area. The plan, proposed by the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission, would place roughly equal areas of the prairie under development and conservation. After several years' work on the plan, however, the commission found property owners and environmentalists as sharply divided as ever. Property owners say they are worried about losing their land or homes. Environmentalists, from groups across the state, are worried about losing much of the area's delicate wildlife, several species of which are endangered. Kurt Bauer, executive director of SEWRPC, said the commission has rarely had such a divisive subject. The plan calls for 851 acres, or 46.6 percent, of the prairie to be rezoned as an urban area. A roughly equal amount, 812 acres, or 44.5 percent, would be set aside for preservation. Property owners criticized the plan for what they said was its inaccuracy in mapping wetland areas and the lack of testing for underground water flow. They also said that if the plan is not approved, the Department of Natural Resources will be able to condemn the land under the 1982 Wetlands Preservation Act. There are 29 homes and many undeveloped lots located on designated wetlands. Tom Turwall, town supervisor of Pleasant Prairie, said he was "appalled by the lack of concern by the state and federal governments for the residents." The plan calls for urban corridors alternating with environmental corridors to provide services as well as a continuous area for the natural wildlife to survive. But environmentalists said the corridors set aside for preservation would not be enough for the prairie's survival. The prairie, they say, is an interrelated system and urban corridors could disrupt the system. The prairie will then turn into, one environmentalist said, "a big park." Ed Nelson, of the Kettle Moraine Audubon Society, criticized both sides for their refusal to compromise. He said the plan would require, "not shouts, nor rudeness, but compromise." "What they're trying to tell you," he told the assembled property owners, "is that if the prairie is infringed upon to a certain extent, that which you will enjoy will be harmed." 2 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 RANGER Editorial Mondale endorsed In the interest of preserving the journalistic doctrine that dictates that newspapers must not only reflect and present public opinion, but also lead it, the Ranger has decided to endorse a presidential candidate. By a margin of nine to six the Ranger supports and endorses the ticket of Walter F. Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro, over the incumbents Ronald Reagan and George Bush. Ronald Reagan's economic policies are a disgrace and an outrage. The poor have been hurt severely in the last four years. In Reagan's 1980 bu dget proposal, he attempted to cut unemployment insurance by 20 percent, Aid to Families with Dependent Children by 30 percent, Food Stamps by 50 percent, Child Nutrition by 48 percent, Women, Children and Infant's program by 80 percent, Housing Assistance by 20 percent and low income energy assistance by 40 percent. Crucial to students was Reagan's attempt to substantially cut student aid. Luckily most cuts were stopped by Congress. According to a study conducted by the Urban Institute, with the tax cut that the President enacted, families earning $80,000 or more each receive an $8500 tax savings. Families that are at, or below, the poverty level of $10,000 re ceived nothing in tax savings. Under Reagan's economic program, those families that are in the highest income level had an income increase nine percent in 1980-84, while those families at the poverty level, or below, had an income lost of seven percent during the same period. The unfairness and narrow policies of the Reagan administration do not stop with the poor. The Reagan administration has attempted to limit the scope of the Freedom of Information Act, claiming it is too expensive to fully operate, even though it costs no more annually than what the Pentagon spends every year for marching bands. Reagan has attempted to limit the intellectual exchange between the United States and other countries by limiting the number of visiting foreign scholars. This was carried to such an extreme that one scholar deliver a lecture over the telephone. This attitude is consistent with other aspects of his policies and indicates his tin willingness to communicate with other governments. Reagan now supports a constitutional amendment that would prohibit legal abortions, except when the mother's life is in danger. This is a reversal of his earlier campaign position which made no allowance for the safety of the mother, and it represents a complete departure with his earlier stand; when he was Governor of California he signed one of the most liberal pro-abortion bills in history. Reagan also favors a constitutional amendment that would allow organized prayer in schools. He has married politics and religion to such an extent that the day he appointed Snadra Day O'Conner to the Supreme Court, he telephoned Jerry Falwell to tell him of his decision. Reagan may call whomever he likes, but when he discusses appointments to the highest law making body in this country with an ultra-conservative individual who believes that religious morals provide a reason to develop theocracy, then enough is enough. Reagan has consistently fought to send money and aid to Nicaraguan rebels who are attempting to overthrow the Marxist government installed by the people of that country. The recent disclosure of the CIA assassination manual proves how militant this administration is willing to be with different ideologies. This is not the kind of action we should be taking against a country that wants to mind its own business and run its own government. Reagan's desire to develop a space-based missile defense system is unnecessary and dangerous -. .especially when the control would lie in the hands of a man who said, "I'm not a scientist. I don't know where the weapons will be." It takes two to escalate the arms race and it takes two to stop it. Unfortunately, Mr. Reagan has not realized this. Walter Mondale is a caring, compassionate and experienced leader who was trained by another great leader, Hubert Humphrey. Mondale is highly qualified to hold the office of President. Mondale has a tax plan that will have those who earn the most paying the most taxes. This, and the closing of corporate tax loopholes, will bring the $175 billion deficit to a manageable $89 billi on. He has proposed to cut, among other things, $25 billion from the Pentagon budget, and add $22 billion to formulate programs to promote fairness and equity in this society. Continued on Page 7 ?'Hi I'll Jl Mondale/Ferraro posters are great To the Editor: I was both surprised and pleased to see Mondale posters affixed to your windows. Surprised because I felt sure that the pollsters had convinced every young American that they were to support Reagan because their peers do, and pleased to see that someone else could read through the nonsense. President Reagan has little grasp of the real issues of our time. Can we continue to hear serious questions of policy answered with oneliners and anecdotes? Are we going to have four more years of Reagan being prompted by his wife when he can't hear questions, or hear him commit errors, be corrected, yet go on to reiterate the errors as fact? I hope not. Reagan promised a budget surplus by 1984, la ter he revised it to a goal, but now he has amassed over $600 billion worth of deficits in four years. In 1982, Reagan claimed he had "kept his promise to the American people" by allowing a cost of living adjustment for Social Security recipients. In fact, Reagan opposed the increase in Congress, which passed it anyway. Rep. Claude Pepper (D-Fla.), Chairman of the House Committee on Aging, said that for Reagan to claim credit for the increase "lowers the art of deception to depths not explored since the Nixon administration." (From the New York Times, July 7, 1982) Reagan gets credit for the condition of our economy, but has his administration felt the economic blow a nice size energy price increase can deliver? No, it has not. Have women obtained any more rights during the last four years and have they been treated fairly? How about minorities? This nation can ill afford the return to racism that this administration is subtly leading us into. It is indeed unfortunate that the elected official to the highest office in the world will be elected on the basis of looks, grace and poise but not on the basis of quality, competence or ability. Sincerely, Joseph N. Richard Voters urged to know issues To the Editor: With all the political literature circulating on campus, the voter registration drive and the Aspin /Jansson Congressional debate on Monday, I am sure that every newly enfranchised voter is geared up for the election on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Hoping this to be the case, I'd like to share with you my first experience voting in a Presidential election. In 1972 I went to the polls knowing which presidential candidate I was going to vote for. But as I stepped in to the voting booth and saw all the levers facing me, I realized that I was very ill prepared to vote. Many other offices were being voted on at the same time and three or four referendums also appeared on the ballot. The referendums really confused me because they were all at least a paragraph long. It seemed to take forever to vote and I did not even vote on some of the items. I was only able to honestly cast votes in about a quarter of the legislative races and referendums. After that experience I promised myself that I would never again be so ill prepared in the future. Please make sure that on Nov. 6 you are well informed and knowledgeable before heading off to the polls. As of the publication of this newspaper you only have four full days left to educate yourself on the issues, just like me. Sincerely, Franklin L.

RANGER 3 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 Batman looks for comeback Watch out, Bob Newhart, M*A*S*H a nd Leave It To Beaver. The caped crusaders are back. At least at Madison. The Wisconsin Student Association is mounting a petition drive, sending out media packets and planning a campus bash, all as part of a campaign to bring "Batman" reruns back to late night television. "It used to be on locally at 1 a.m.," says Avram Rosen, WSA copresident. "Students would rush back from the bars to see it." The show inspired its own version of the popular "Hi, Bob" drinking game, he says, revolving around the "Pow" and "Crash" graphics that accompanied Batman's fight sequences. Rosen's party, Ant Bridge, made Batman's return part of its campaign platform last spring and is now trying to make good on that promise. "We're nearing 1,000 names on the petitions, and we're hoping that all the publicity will have some effect," says Rosen. He admits that local television stations he has contacted so far have been "positive but cautious." One station manager told a local newspaper that the show has a limited audience. Another said the show's departure drew few protests. But the stations haven't seen all that WSA has planned. The student government plans to co-sponsor, with the Wisconsin Union, a Batman bash, to include a screening of the Batman movie and a possible personal appearance by actor Adam West. The activity is reminiscent of WSA's now infamous Pail and Shovel Party. Its leaders built a Statue of Liberty replica on Lake Mendota, covered Bascom Hill with pink flamingos and lived up to campaign promises to squander student fees on beer and parties. P&S put Madison in the national spotlight for two years, but left behind a legacy of bad credit and scrambled records. "We're not like P&S," asserts Rosen. "We're not wasting student money. And we deal with serious issues. "But we don't take ourselves too seriously," he says. "That gets you into trouble with the students. We believe in having fun, like building a campus playground, complete with a swing set, but we also believe in lobbying on issues that are important to students." Ben R. Lawton, president of the Board of Regents, apparently wishes WSA took so me things more seriously. At a recent board meeting, he criticized students for being more interested in frivolous issues, like the Batman campaign, rather than serious issues such as the nuclear arms race. Republican offended by forum To the Editor: Last week, Traci Fordham responded to my letter published on Oct. 18 that stated my concern about the biased election issues forum and the Mondale/Ferarro "push" by some of the Parkside faculty. Well, I would like to respond to her response. First of all, Miss Fordham, I am happy to announce that we have in fact formed a Republican organization at Parkside, and you may have seen our campaign booth on Oct. 24. It was a great success, and we plan to do it again before the election. In regard to my comment on faculty members voicing their Democratic views in class: How can you say it's an unfair statement when you haven't been there with me, listening to it? On the issues forum: Yes, I am offended, but what concerns me most is its effect on the undecided students who go to the supposedly unpartisan discussions to be educated on the issues, and instead come face-to-face with little more than Democratic hype. The Young Democrats and the Pre-Law Society have acted very irresponsibly in organizing these presentations. Finally, since you asked me to convince you that Reagan is clearly a better choice than Mondale, let me give you a short history lesson: In 1980, u nder the Carter/Mondale administration, prices were rising 12% per year. Now inflation is at its lowest rate in a decade with no sign of upturn. In 1980, employment was at a standstill. Now there are millions of new jobs. In 1980, interest rates were soaring, home building was collapsing and the U.S. dollar had shrunk to new lows. Now, under Reagan, real wages and production are flourishing, income tax has been cut by one fourth, interest rates are down one third and the dollar is the world's strongest currency. Shall I go on? Okay, I will! Let me quote Richard Rahn of the New York Times in regard to the deficit: "History, both in the U.S. and in other industrialized countries, demonstrates that major reductions in government deficits have only been accomplished by rapid economic growth and spending restraint. Major tax increases (Mondale's plan) lead only to economic stagnation and- increased economic misery." Now, ask yourself why you're voting for Walter Mondale. Brad Osborne Former editor supports policy To the Editor: I have been reading with great interest the recent letters stating that the Ranger should not be allowed to take a stand and that for some reason the Ranger seems to be displaying a biased point of view. To control myself from laughing in the faces of these people was indeed a great task, but I did it, and decided that it would probably be of greater value to exlain some things about the daily situations of running a newspaper, as in my own judgement, it became quite obvious to me that they were not speaking from the voices of experience, but rather from voices of inexperience and misunderstanding. Some may wish to know how I am qualified to offer some explanation for the occurences in a newspaper such as the Ranger, but I too have been a Ranger Editor, and I too have run across the same misunderstandings. Currently I hold the position of the Campus News Editor, and in regard to Keith Harmann's letter which stated "Mondale may be the better choice for president, but then again he may not be. I think that both sides of an issue should be printed, not just one side as you did in the Oct. 11 issue..." When comprehending a weekly newspaper, one must take into their own scope the coverage from week to week, that is to say, don't be clouded because one issue of the paper does not have equal coverage of relevant issues. Our scope is continuous and it's important to think in those terms. As far as not printing the relevant information received on Reagan, I could refer to our other issues of the paper which have had very equal coverage of Reagan and Bush. It's important to understand that we print releases that we get, and if we don't get them, well, it gets rather difficult to print them. If the Republicans and Democrats have things they want us to print, they should get them to us. The fact of the matter is, we have never claimed to be omniscient, and what's worse is that we aren't. I only wish we were. As far as the second page of this paper is concerned, since long before I was the editor, Page 2 was always the opinion-editorial page. I believe OPINION would have to be the key term in this case. Someone as involved as Keith should probably know that. As for not printing Keith's letter the week we received it, the decision was clearly not mine to make, but I am aware of the fact that it was the last letter received and there was one other letter not printed that week; it came in before Keith's. I do happen to know that several students do not know the information contained in those "news briefs" and people do enjoy them. As for the rest of the comments in the letters sent in from Keith Harmann and Neil Nelson, further comment on them would be my way of defending this newspaper against the lack of c orrect information those two readers posess. All in all, I am glad they have expressed concerns in regard to the newspaper. It is really wonderful to know that someone really does read the Ranger and care enough to respond to what they think they're reading. Sincerely, Pat Hensiak Former Ranger Editor NEWS BRIEFS Rebels take Kirkpatrick name Several hundred rebels to overthrow Nicaragua's Sandinista government have named themselves the Jeane Kirkpatrick Task Force, the New York Times reported. The men are members of the Nicaraguan Democratic Force, which has received millions of dollars in covert aid and words of praise from Kirkpatrick, the Times said. "The men chose the name themselves several months ago," Adolofo Calero Portocarrero, leader of the Democratic Force, was quoted as saying. "They listen to the Voice of America, and they admire Mrs. Kirkpatrick for her courage. I don't know if she knows it." The Task Force is the only guerilla unit named for a foreigner. Others take their names from Nicaraguan heroes, rebels killed inbattle or local place names, the Times said. Cornell accused of censorship The Cornell student newspaper refused to run an ad for a book that claims the Holocaust never happened and has been accused of censorship by the book's distributor, Cobra Press. The Cornell Daily Sun turned down the ad as a violation of its policy against sexist and racist advertising. The book, "The Hoax of the Twentieth Century," was written by controversial Northwestern University engineering professor Arthur Butz, and denies the existence of Nazi concentration camps. Proxmire awards Golden Fleece The Defense Department has received Sen. William Proxmire's "Golden Fleece" award for spending more than $100,000 to fly cadets and midshipmen to last year's Army-Navy football game. The Wisconsin senator noted that the Pentagon once said students attending the game would be "moved, housed and fed at no cost to the gove^iment," and that the taxpayers may end up footing a bill for more, than $1 million. The Pentagon declined to comment, according to the United Press International story.

In the Ranger edition of Oct. 25, Kari Dixon stated that "If there are 169 Reagan supporters, then there should be an organization on campus showing this support." To this I must ask why? Being a Republican, at least at heart, I don't feel the need to go around telling everyone even though I am not ashamed. I appreciate the fact that there is a Young Democrats Club on campus and I sincerely thank them for the mock elections. I have been approached by a group of students who wish to form a Young Republicans Club. Perhaps we should consider that it is better to show support for our preferred candidates at the polls rather than have students, Democrats and Republicans, running around this university trying to better each other at organization. As long as the Ranger keeps printing objective views of the 1984 Presidential race, I see no need for outspoken students trying to impose their views on others. I wish Miss Dixon good luck with her club for I believe they can accomplish much. I understand that the Young Republicans Club might still be forming. Let us hope the interest in politics and those in Washington, D.C. does not die after Nov. 6. It is important for people to get involved at least as much during the time that the laws that govern us are being formulated as in the present. Luis Valldejuli Rep. and Dem. party platforms Purpose of the Republican Party, according to their 1984 p latform: "We declare ourselves the party of hope - not for some, but for all. The Republicans' vision of America's future and the heart of the platform, begins with a basic premise: From freedom comes opportunity; from opportunity comes growth; from growth comes progress.", The Purpose of the Democratic Party, according to their 1984 p latform: "In the economy, we are committed to economic growth, prosperity and jobs. For the individual, we are committed to justice, decency and opportunity. For a nation, we are committed to peace, 4 strength and freedom.,". 4 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 RANGER Expansion of Well Week shows great success here by Laur een Wawro If you f elt a little bit guilty last week as you popped open a bag of potato chips or took the elevator instead of the stairs, you had good reason to. Well Week was Oct. 22-26 at Parkside, and students were inundated by healthy hints and services, due to the work of Edith Isenberg and Student Health Services. Isenberg, Coordinator of S tudent Health Services, began using Well Day as a tool to promote health awareness for the past seven years. "In general, what we're trying to do is create an awareness of wellness and encourage faculty, staff and students to take advantage of our services," she said. This year Well Day was expanded into Well Week. Blood pressu re checks Monday evening and on Friday gave ev eryone the opportunity to not only have their blood pressure checked, but to discuss the results with trained medical personnel. These services offered during Well Week were free. On Tuesday, the Student Health Services held an open house and Thursday found some of the staff manning a video machine in Main Place showing two films on love by Dr. Leo Buscaglia. The main event of the week was Well Day on Wednesday. Seven years ago, Isenberg set out on a search for agencies to participate in Well Day. "We looked for agencies in Racine and Kenosha who could provide services and information to the students," said Isenberg. The agencies selected did just that, and many still do, since most of the original agencies were still participating this year. The services and information offered by these many agencies were almost endless. Pamphlets on everything from alcoholism to sickle cell anemia were available from the more than 30 agencies who set up booths in the Union and on the Concourse. Every booth was occupied by persons eager to give information and advice. F<* those who relate better to a computer than to nurses and doctors, the Food Service Department at Kenosha Memorial Hospital offered the chance to play a computer game on health and nutrition. The Red Cross was on hand with its CPE mannequin and persons willing to train others in this life-saving method. Diabetes, Colo-Rectal, Vision, Foot and Sickle Cell Anemia screenings were offered by registered nurses and medical technologists. Isenberg estimated that "On the average, 150 people went through a screening." Visitors could have their lung capacity, height and weight checked, and those who felt brave enough could find out their blood type through a somewhat painless procedure. Isenberg feels interest in Well Week is growing. "I'm excited about it," she said. "I think that in general, interest is growing, because of the national interest in health." Dean publishes bibliography on Greene Interpreting media reader oriented by Jill Whitney Nielsen "There is so much accumulated knowledge today it presents us with both its strengths and weaknesses," stated Florence Shipek, anthropology professor, who gave a speech on how t o interpret the media. She also stated, "Everything you read, hear and see has a bias and is intended to influence you." Shipek suggested "reading widely, objectively^ critically and analytically." This includes reading newspapers from all sides of the political spectrum. Shipek also stated words can be used to bias a viewpoint. "If you use an unpleasant word (to describe something), the thing being described will beWrite a letter to the Editor come unpleasant." Shipek also pointed out the importance of knowing how to read an article. "Know who the author is, what the purpose (of t he article) is, who it is written for, what is presented as evidence and what is quoted." Shipek stated when choosing candidates for a political office to "look at what they (the candidates) do and not just at what they say. People hear what they want to hear. Listen carefully and don't let your biases interfere with what you're hearing." Shipek added, "You must get both sides; if not, you're letting others make the decision for you." Parkside English professor James Seay Dean has published the most comprehensive bibliography ever on critical works and editions related to the English Renaissance writer Robert Greene, the first fulltime professional English author. Dean, who specializes in English Renaissance literature began work on "Robert Greene: A Reference Guide" eight years ago. The 283- page volume, published by the Boston- based G.K. Hall and Co., is a guide to scholarly criticism of Greene from 1675 to 1979 and provides an exhaustive, annotated bibliography as well as an index listing criticism according to author, title and subject. Dean's book is the definitive bibliography of works relating to Greene and is international in scope, referring to articles and books written in many languages, including French, Italian, Russian, German, Polish and Japanese. Greene, who wrote plays, romances, pamphlets and poems, was a contemporary of William Shakespeare, with whom he collaborated on some of Shakespear's early plays. Several of Greene's plays became sources for Shakespeare's plays. Greene, England's most popular author in the late 16th century, frequently wrote about the London underworld. He lived with the sister of London's most notorious criminal of the day. Greene's plays provided Shakespeare and others with models of the double-plot and of heroines who play major roles.

RANGER 5 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 PSGA passes off campus events policy Sculptor presents lecture by Jill Whitney Nielsen The PSGA (Parkside Student Government Association) Senate last Thursday approved a revised off-campus policy stating that although student organizations and clubs are expected to use University facilities when sponsoring an event, this requirement can be waived in certain circumstances. One of the revisions of the policy states that all waiver requests are to be reviewed by the Chair of SOC, the Chair of the Student Services Committee in PSGA and the Coor- Bayuzick art wins award Parkside art professor Dennis Bayuzick has won a juror's award in the 1984 Hoyt National Painting and Drawing Show at the Hoyt Institute of Fine Arts in New Castle, Pa. The award was given to Bayuzick for his recent airbrush painting titled "Resurrection of JoJo," and was selected by judge Dr. Louis Zona, director of the Butler Institute of American Art in Youngstown, Ohio. About 40 works were chosen for awards from more than 400 entries from around the nation. Bayuzick, whose surrealist, dream-inspired paintings have won a number of awards in national juried exhibitions, also currently is showing his work at the 46th Arrowhead Biennial Juried Exhibition at the Duluth Art Institute in Minnesota, and recently exhibited in the Wisconsin Art Education Association Members' Juried Exhibit at the UW-Milwaukee Art Galleries. Bayuzick also recently published an article title "From Dream-Motif dinator of Student Activities. Another revision is the requirement that an advisor be present at an event may be waived under "appropriate circumstances." This policy took effect Oct. 25. The 1985-86 PSGA budget of $13,132 was also approved by the Senate. The budget increases are due to an increase in the phone bill and an increase in the travel budget. The travel budget was increased to accommodate trips to monthly United Council meetings at various campuses. to Painted Phantasmagoria," which appeared in the publication Dreamworks and described his artistic approach. The article included pictures illustrating the development of several of Bayuzick's recent paintings. Bayuzick earned a master of fine arts degree from the Ohio University School of Art and joined Parkside in 1977. Baugrud writes for state Parkside Extension professor Kim Baugrud has co-written a handbook on supervising the mentally retarded criminal offender for state probation and parole agents. Baugrud and Samuel Stellman, professor at UW-Extension's Criminial Justice Institute in Milwaukee, received a $1,300 grant from the Wisconsin State Council of the Knights of Columbus to write the handbook, which is expected to be used by personnel in Wisconsin's 72 counties. The Knights of Columbus grant is the 15th to Baugrud in the past eleven years, totalling more than $30,000 to fund programs in the area of law enforcement and mental retardation. The handbook details methods of identifying and assisting mentally retarded persons caught up in the criminal justice system. It includes chapters on characteristics and causes of mental retardation, services available to the mentally retarded offender, common offenses and guidelines for counseling. Internationally known artist Ruth Duckworth will visit the Parkside campus on Wednesday, Nov. 7, to speak about her development as a ceramic sculptor. She will present a free public slide lecture on the evolution of her creative work at 2 p.m. in Greenquist Hall Room 101 and later she will meet with art students for critiques and discussions. Duckworth's appearance at Parkside is being organized by the university's art discipline and funded by the Exxon Corp. Duckworth's creative work in clay encompasses a wide spectrum of expressive organic forms, ranging from intimately scaled vessels to massive sculptures and roomsized relief murals. Her main inspiration is nature, and her art transforms phenomena such as underwater or plant life, weather patterns and the human form into sensuously abstracted motifs. She also works in a variety of techniques, including high-fired porcelain, raku and stoneware processes. Currently Duckworth is affiliated with the Exhibit A Gallery in Chicago, where she has had three solo shows. She has also shown her work internationally, including solo shows in London, Washington, Tokyo, Hamburg, New York and Rotterdam and has participated in numerous group exhibits elsewhere around the world. Over the years Duckworth has also completed many major commissions, including a 400 square foot stoneware mural for the Hinds Laboratory at the University of Chicago titled "Earth, Water and Sky," and a 240 square foot mural for the Dresdner Bank at the Chicago Board of Trade Building. Her work is also in the public collection of museums throughout the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago, National Museum of Kyoto, the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and Windsor Castle. Duckworth was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1919 and received most of her art education in England, attending the Liverpool School of Art, the Hammersmith School of Art and the Central School of Arts and Crafts. It was in London that she discovered clay to be the ideal medium for her expressive ideas, and her influence on the traditions of pottery in England during the 1950's was immediate and dramatic. In 1964 Duckworth came to the fHm '• United States to teach at the University of Chicago as a visiting artist, and she remained in that position until 1977. Since then she has given numerous workshops and seminars throughout the country. She also taught at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London before coming to the States. In 1982 she received an honorary doctorate from DePaul University for her contributions to the arts. Economic recovery still possible by Pat Hensiak Campus News Editor "Whoever is in the White House for the next four years, economically the outlook is good. Inflation should stay down, interest rates should stay down and economic growth should be at about 3-4 percent," stated Bill Rieber, assistant professor of Economics, at the recent Issues Forum titled "Deficit and Substantiability of the Economic Recovery." Reiber pointed out three of the major effects of the budget deficit: it will increase interest rates, it will reduce investment in plant and equipment and the demand for housing, and it will raise the value of the dollar. Rieber explained, "Every industrialized country has a deficit. The budget deficit will raise interest rates, which can reduce investment in plant and equipment and the demand for housing. Deficits actually show that there is an excess of government spending over receipts. "In terms of foreign market, the value of the dollar dies raise, and in ways this is a reflection of our strength. It's beginning to show a healthy recovery," said Rieber. There are methods of reducing the budget which could come through economic growth, reducing government spending or raising taxes. "It doesn't look like economic growth will be substantial enough for reduction," said Rieber. "Mondale's plan to raise the taxes and reducing government spending doesn't seem to be happening." On the issue of poverty, Rieber said, "There is an unequal distribution of wealth, income distribution has become more unequal over the past four years instead of more equal. Rieber also explained the indexation of the tax system which will go into effect in 1985. "An example would be, if your gross income was $20,000 and the tax rate was 20 percent, the taxes paid would be $4000. That would leave a disposable income of $16,000. If you assume that prices rise by 50 percent and gross income rises by 50 percent, without indexation of the tax system, a $30,- 000 gross income would be taxed 25 percent and have a disposable income of $22,500. With indexation of the tax system, that same $30,000 would be taxed 20 percent and have a disposable income of $24,000. This doesn't benefit the higher income individuals." Grant awarded to library project The Urban Corridor Consortiumgroup of University of Wisconsin ampuses in the eastern part of the tate-has awarded an $8,000 grant 5r a cooperative library acquisiions project that will focus on rban ethnic studies material, be atalogued at Parkside and be shard among campuses through existlg inter-library loan services. Campuses in the Consortium are arkside, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Oshkosh and UW-Green Bay. The project seeks to broaden the base of urban research resources by acquiring print and non-print material in urban ethnic studies with an emphasis on medium-sized cities, said Nicholas C. Burckel, associate director of Parkside's Wyllie Library- Learning Center. Burckel said Parkside has compiled a list of nearly 100 Consortium faculty, librarians and administrators whose teaching or research interests lie in urban ethnic studies. "UW-Parkside is a particularly appropriate institution to undertake this project because it directly serves two medium-sized cities-Kenosha and Racine-with significant ethnic minority populations," Burckel said. "UW-Parkside's faculty in the social and behavioral sciences both teach and research in these areas."

Haberman Every once in a while you stumble across a restaurant that seems to have it all. The Chartroom, located at 209 Dodge Street in Racine appeared to be one of tho se places. The Chartroom is a cozy, softly lit bar and restaurant that sports nautical overtones. It is a perfect place to relax, have a few drinks (the prices are reasonable) and enjoy quiet conversation. The view of the moon reflecting off Root River completes the scenario. Unfortunately, we ordered dinner. Considering the effect of the setting, the menu was a disappointment. It featured appetizers, grilled sandwiches and a limited selection of full dinners, including shrimp and chicken. The Chartroom Special is a hamburger topped with slices of bratwurst and melted cheese. (Sound good? I didn't think so either.) In all honesty, I have no one but myself to blame when I let my hunger override my instinct to avoid a place that has chicken listed under the "From the Deep" section of the menu. Feeling adventurous, I ordered a cup of chili and a chicken filet sandwich with Bar-B-Que sauce on the side. The chili was chunky, hot and bland, but tasted better when I added ketchup to its watery contents. At $1.50, it was no bargain. The chicken filet sandwich ($1.50) had very little chicken or flavor and was served on a cold, untoasted bun. My friend's medium-rare cheeseburger ($1.85) a rrived burned and the grilled onions were prepared in the deep fryer instead of a grill-top stove. This produces greasy strands of soft, brown onions. The baskets of fries and cheese curds ($1.00 each) were average at best. The check total came to $11.92 and included two rounds of drinks and one large soft drink. Had the food been of superior quality, we would have considered the money well spent.

RANGER 7 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 "The Color Purple" Walker displays genius as novelist; poet by Joan Mattox Alice Walker: poet, novelist, literary genius. She proved it last year with "The Color Purple." Its strong literary contributions won her the 1983 Pulit zer Prize for fiction. The first black woman to win this award, she is becoming more familiar to the readers of America as well as those of o ther countries. "The Color Purple" centers around Georgia and Africa. The principal voice is that of Celie, who has been raped by a man presumed to be her father, robbed of her two children and married to a man she has no love for. Her sister, Nettie, runs away so she won't suffer the same fate that her sister did. Nettie is befriended by missionaries, a man and wife who had unwittingly adopted Ceilie's children. Separated for thirty years, the two sisters live in ignorance of e ach other's circumstances because Celie's husband refuses to give Celie the letters that Nettie writes. Celie's own sense of shame concerning her past is so great that the only comfort she receives is when she writes to God. But life for Celie begins to change for the better when her husband's lover, Shug Avery, comes to live with them. Honest, poignant, funny, sad - and it breaks new ground in fiction with the portrayal of the bonding of women. Walker once said that family relationships are sacred. Much of h er work portrays the spiritual and physical devastation that occurs when family trust is violated. One example of this is her short story "The Child Who Favored Daughter." It is the story of a black father and his reactions to his daughter's love for a married white man. The father saw, in his childhood, his sister acting the same way that his daughter is now. "When he was a boy he had a sister called 'Daughter.' She was like honey, tawny, wild and sweet ... nor did she care for the love that came to her too easily. When he begged her not to go out, to stay with him, she laughed at him and went her way, sleeping here, sleeping there ... wherever she was needed, she would say, and would laugh." Since his daughter is in love with a white man, as was his sister, he automatically assumes her a slut. "A slight, pretty flower that grows on any ground; and flowers pledge no allegiance to banners of any man." Walker states that she can relate to this situation because it happened to her. She fell in love with a white man, was engaged to him, but her father couldn't understand it. She wrote this story to better understand the depth of her father's antagonism. Another story from the "In Love and In Trouble" collection is "To Hell with Dying." This is Walker's first published work. It is also her most autobiographical piece. She wrote it while attending Sarah Lawrence College. The story takes place in her home town of Eatonton, Georgia. An old man named Mr. Sweet lived on a nearby farm. He always claimed he was going to die, so all the children in Walker's family would rush over to him to smother him with kisses and claim their love for him. "And whoever was the smallest at the time would kiss him all over his wrinkled, brown face and begin to tickle him so that he would laugh all down in his stomach." Mr. Sweet would quickly recover. Years later, when he died, Walker was away at school and didn't have the money to come to his funeral. Her gift to him was this story. Some of Walker's stories were derived from her mother's old folk stories. Walker's mother told her how poor people in the "olden days" had to make up home remedies for the sick people. "She used to crack me up with the story about my brother who stuttered and they couldn't figure out what to do about it. So finally someone told her to hit him in the mouth with a cow's melt. It's something raw and wet and bloody, and you get a grip on it and just hit the stutterer in the mouth with it. That would make anyone stop stuttering or stop talking altogether. But anyway she did it; she hit him in the mouth with the cow's melt and he stopped stuttering. She also told the family about how she would make tea out of the horse's hoof when one of them fell ill." When Walker was living in Mississippi, s he wrote most of these stories, one being "Strong Horse Tea." The "Third Life of Grange Copeland" centers around the life of a young black girl named Ruth and her grandfather named Grange. The word that best describes this book is realism. When I read the book, I could actually visualize everything Walker describes: the trees, the hills and sky - and feel the pain and the struggle of the family. These sensations are not something every writer can put down on paper, but Walker definitely has this gift. One book that I have not yet read is "Meridian." Critics say that this is also a book with a feeling. Some critics say it's her best, while some claim that the book is no thing more than a collection of scrambled, unconstructive thoughts. Its plot centers around the life of a civil rights worker. Walker is also a genius when it comes to poetry. One book of poetry is called "Revolutionary Petunias and Other Poems." When I read "Revolutionary Petunias," I had to read it over several times because the meaning is subtle. The poem is about a woman named Sammy Lou who kills the white man who murdered her husband. She goes to the electric chair at the end, but obviously fee ls no regret. On her way to the electric chair, she tells her children, "Don't y'll forgit to water my purple petunias," a statement that shows she feels life for others will go on even though hers will terminate in a matter of minutes. Another poem, titled "For My Sister Molly Who In the Fifties" is about Walker's sister, who she felt deserted the rest of th e family. Her sister went away to college and when she came home she would always correct the family's grammar or scowl at their choice of dress or food. Then one day she left. Walker understands now it was the best thing for her sister to do, because sometimes members of a family grow so far apart that it is best to go their own separate ways instead of staying together and hurting each other. When she wrote that poem, she didn't feel that way. She was deeply hurt and resentful. This month a new collection of Walker's poetry will appear on the market, called "Horses Make a Landscape More Beautiful." This brilliant author is definitely a voice of o ur time. Ed.

He is against the secret war in Nicaragua and has vowed to end it in his first 100 days in office. Mondale supports a mutually verifiable nuclear freeze and supports a moratorium on the testing of anti-satellite weapons, provided the Soviets remain loyal to their moratorium. He also proposes a military budget increase of three to four percent as opposed to Reagan's seven percent increase. The facts are painfully clear. The programs of t he Reagan administration have only helped those in this country who need help the least -. .the wealthy. Reagan ran four years ago on the policy that government should get off the backs of the people yet he wants the government to interfere in the public's most private issues, like abortion and prayer. And his administration is isolated, unrealistic and imperialistic in its foreign policy. Money is being wasted to support a plan of action that is drawing us closer to the time when a nuclear war is a possible consequence. The choice is very clear. If you want a country that ignores the poor and chooses to dump billions of d ollars into defense, consistantly forgetting that we share this globe, then vote for Ronald Reagan. If vou want a country that helps the poor, unemployed, struggling students women and children, realizes we must communicate with the Soviets, and believes in the rights of the individual in personal and governmental matters, then vote for Walter Mondale. Vote on Tuesday, Nov. 6. 8 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 RANGER Reasan/Bush/Mondale/Ferraro A look at the issues and their stands The impending Presidential election will take place next Tuesday. Because both parties have been registering new voters at a rapid pace, the act of voting has become even more important. Because the ballots cast possess so much importance, the Ranger has compiled a summary of the candidates and the issues from the Congressional Quarterly and the New York Times to give readers a clear, factual presentation of the issues, without rhetoric or emotion. It is hoped that a better-informed electorate will make the political process function more effectively. pline - one that would not penalize those dependent on the government for help - and it's high time that this be done," he said at the Economic Club in October. Ronald Reagan favors a constitutional amendment that prohibits legal abortions except when the life of the mother is in danger. "I believe that no challenge is more important to the character of America than restoring the right to life to all human beings. Without that right, no other rights have meaning," he said in a speech to the National Religious Broadcasters on Jan. 30. Reagan favors a constitutional amendment in favor of organized prayer in the public schools. "The Ronald Reagan, Republican presidential incumbent Ronald Reagan, the 40th U.S. president, was born in Tampico, HI. in 1911. He was the governor of California from 1966-1974. He was elected to the presidency on Nov. 4, 1980. Reagan maintains that he will not raise taxes. "Raising taxes will not encourage people...to work harder and be productive; raising taxes will not stimulate investment; raising taxes will not give business the incentive to innovate and make their companies more competitive," he said at a rally on Oct. 2 in Corpus Christi, Texas. Reagan supports a constitutional amendment requiring a mandatory balanced budget. "Democrats in the house killed the balanced budget amendment in 1982 and their leadership still resists allowing a vote on that amendment. Now, I recognize that idea wouldn't be a cure-all. It wouldn't even go into effect right away. But I believe it would force the leadership of the congress to work with the president on a long term budget of real discitruth is, politics and religion are inseparable. And, as morality's foundation, religion and politics are necessarily related. We need religion as a guide," he said on Aug. 22 at a prayer meeting in Dallas. Reagan believes that the main threat to peace and the American value system is the Soviet Union. As he has stated in countless speeches, Reagan's essential ideas in 1980 and 1984 are that "the Soviet Union is the chief source of trouble in the world, and that the U.S. has to strengthen itself diplomatically and militarily to counter the Soviet threat," quotes the Sept. 1, 1984 issue of the Congressional Quarterly. Reagan has proposed an annual 10 percent budget increase for the Pentagon. He supports the Stealth bomber and the Trident submarine, the M-X missile and the B-l bomber. Reagan has proposed the development of space-based anti-missile missiles ("Star Wars"). He has not made any serious departures from the basic elements of the post- WWII foreign policy. "He has embraced foreign aid and maintained the U.S. presence in the United Nations, the World Bank and other international bodies. He has held negotiations, reluctantly, with Cuba, Nicaragua and the Soviet Union," said the Sept. 1, 1984 Congressional Quarterly. The president has announced a program of $630 million in loans to farmers, and is offering them a chance to write off some interest owed the government. Reagan claims that his environmental policy, one of less regulation, is one of the "best kept secrets in Washington. In many big cities, the number of d ays on which pollution alerts are declared has gone down. And, if you live near a • river, you may have noticed that the signs have been coming down that used to warn people not to fish or swim," he said in a radio address on July 14. Reagan also maintains that his budget, which originally attempted to cut funding to Social Security, Medicare, indignant pregnant women and undergraduates requesting financial aid, is fair. "All of the programs for the needy that are means-tested programs, they were $47 billion in cost when we came here. They're around $64 billion... we are aiding more people and spending more money on these programs than has ever been spent in history. So, there's no basis for this demagoguery that somehow we have punished...the needy." Walter Mondale Democratic presidential challenger Walter F. Mondale was born in 1928 a t Ceylon, Minn. He was appointed on Dec. 30, 1964 to fill the seat of Senator Hubert Humphrey, who was elected vice-president. He was elected to a full senate term in 1966 and re-elected in 1972. He was elected the 42nd vice-president on Nov. 4, 1976. Mondale declared that he will raise taxes, but that he will do it according to income, with those who make the most income paying the most taxes. "Here is the truth about our future; we are living on borrowed money and borrowed time. Those deficits hike interest rates, clobber exports, stunt investments, kill jobs, undermind growth, cheat our kids and shrink our future," he said in his nomination acceptance speech of July 19. Mondale does not support a constitutional amendment requiring a balanced budget. He is against a constitutional amendment prohibiting legal abortions. "This is one of the roughest questions of American life, and it's a question I've prayed about for a long time. I cannot bring myself to support the so-called amendment that seems to be the test," he said in Tupelo, Miss, on Sept. 13. Mondale is against a constitutional amendment that allows organized prayer in public schools. "I believe in an America that honors what Thomas Jefferson first called 'the wall of separation between Church and State.' That freedom has made our faith unadulterated and intimidated. Today the religion clauses of the First Amendment do not need to be fixed; they need to be followed," he said at the convention on Sept. 6. Mondale has limited experience in foreign affairs. Initially, he was in favor of the Vietnam War. "Foreign policy has never been Mondale's strong suit. During his eleven years in the senate, Mondale did not develop a reputation as a specialist in international matters; he concentrated on domestic issues," said the Sept. 1,1984 Congressional Weekly. Mondale has proposed a 3 or 4 percent increase in military spending. He supports the Stealth bomber and the Trident submarine, but opposes the MX missile and the B-l bomber. Mondale has proposed a moratorium on the testing of anti-satellite weapons, contingent on Moscow's continuation of its previously announced moratorium on tests. He has promised to help farmers by halting farm foreclosures and stretching loan payments. He has stated that he will be tougher on those who pollute. "I will end the lawlessness that's destroying our environment. I will take polluters to court, not to lunch," he said in front of the Sierra Club on Sept. 19. Mondale has proposed adding $22 billion in social programs. "My budget is fair. A budget is an x-ray of our values. It says what kind of people we are. My budget is fair to the most vulnerable people in our society, who bore the brunt of Mr. Reagan's budget cuts. And it is fair to average-income families who got no relief from Mr. Reagan's tax cuts," he said on Sept. 10. George Bush Republican vice-presidential incumbent George Bush was born in Milton, Mass. in June 1924. He was elected the House from 1966 to 1970. He was the U.S. Ambassador to the U.N from 1970 t o 1976 a nd Director of the CIA in 1976 and 1977. He was elected 43rd vice president in November, 1980. Bush does not believe in a tax increase to reduce the deficit. He supports a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. He also favors a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortions except when the mother's life is in danger. He supports a constitutional amendment to allow organized prayer in the public schools. He is in favor of the MX missile and the B-l bomber. He favors an increase in defense spending and a reduction in social spending. He supports military aid to Central America and Nicaraguan rebels. He is in favor of the development of space-based anti-missile defenses. Bush supports Reagan's foreign policy. "Because our president has stood firm in the defense of my freedom, America has gained respect throughout the world," he said in the Sept. 7, 1984 C ongressional Quarterly. Geraldine Ferraro Democratic vice-presidential challenger Geraldine Ferraro was born in 1935 in Newbury, N.Y. She was elected to the house in 1970 and was re-elected in 1980 and 1982. She is currently serving on the House Committee on Budget, Public Works and Transportation and the Select Committee on Aging. Geraldine Ferraro supports a tax increase to reduce the deficit. She does not support a constitutional amendment to require a balanced budget. She is personally against abortion, but does not support a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortion. She also does not favor a constitutional amendment allowing organized prayer in public schools. Geraldine Ferraro is against the M-X Missile and the B-l bomber. She believes that defense spending should be reduced and social spending increased. She supports barring tests of the anti-satellite missile unless the Soviets test first.. She is against economic aid to Central America and funding for Nicaraguan rebels. Geraldine Ferraro does not support Reagan's foreign policy. "When she talks about Reagan's foreign policy, she often couches her thoughts in personal terms, telling how as a mother she had felt 'heartsick' after the bombing deaths of Marines in Beirut last fall," said the July 14, 1984 Congressonal Quarterly. RANGER Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 Political communication vital The reason people choose to vote as they do is really a matter of perception on their own part. David Habbel, assistant Professor of Communication, currently teaches a course titled, "Political Communication," which discusses the implications involved in the upcoming election. Habbel said, "Each side has its ideologies and there are differences between the candidates and the supporters seem to be set up as a collective of independent collectives. They seem to place a value in the collective, like unions and that sort of thing. Republicans on the other hand are a collection of ind ependents; the whole group seems to be made up of more independent kinds of people. Both of these factors enter into how they communicate." Habbel explained the Democrats seemed to be leaning toward more complex arguments and there are specific reasons for that. Looking at the election just in terms of the State of the Union and Soviet relations, there are obvious differences as to how the candidates communicate about these issues. "There are two rather favorable conditions for Reagan. First, people perceive the economic conditions positively and the other is that people seem to like Reagan as a person. These things allow Reagan to reassure the public that things are all right. Mondale, however, is really agitating the American public. He's raising questions and concerns about all of the implications down the road, and that tends to make the arguments Mondale uses more complex. Mondale isn't really telling the public what they want to hear. Instead, he's telling them to take responsibility for our part in the arms race and our actions in regards to the U.S. is a ctually contributing to the unstable situation in Central America. He's pointing out an implicit blame and guilt that the American people have to accept. People don't seem to want to understand the complexity of that," said Habbel. When asked what people are basing t heir decisions on to vote for a particular candidate, Habbel stated, "It's important to remember that just because most people think something, it doesn't make something right. Democracy is not always right either, it elected Hitler. It's equally important that people have goood reasons for making their decisions in a particular way. When they ba se it on looks or popularity, what does that say about their potential decision making or the decision making structure in our country?" More women to try politics 1984 was t he first year in American hi story that a woman has been nominated to run for office on a major party ticket. This has raised many issues on the role of women in politics today and in the future and what the effect of a woman on the ticket has had. Sue Strickler, Political Science professor and the advisor of the Young Democrats Club stated, "According to some polls, having a woman on t he ticket hasn't helped. However I think this will serve as a catalyst...for women to enter politics. Women will be viewed as viable candidates." Strickler added "If Mondale and Ferraro lose, it could be detrimental, because some of the blame could be put on having a woman on the ticket." During a recent open forum, Chancellor Alan Guskin coma pared the issue of a women running for office with the issue of a Catholic running for office when Kennedy ran in 1960. "I think those of us who were alive when Kennedy ran for office remember the biggest issue was the fact that (he) was Catholic and could a Catholic be President of the United States....That was a big issue and he won. It's not an issue anymore that Ferraro's Catholic. That's a non-issue, although there's much more discrimination against women than there was against Catholics. Nevertheless, the fact that she ran, the fact that she's standing up there with Bush, that her name is on the ticket makes it much easier the second time around. In 1972 whe n Shirley Chisholm ran for office it wasn't a serious thing because it wasn't a major party. But this is a major party and there's a real difference in the country since 1972.1 think that having a woman on the ticket will make a significant difference in the future. I think you're going to see ... the whole population and women in particular react differently. Women are going to say 'Iif she did it, why can't I do it?' It's like the four minute mile. We create these artificial barriers. All of a sudden someone breaks through and we say: 'Hey, we can do that!' I think that's going to happen. More and more women are going to run for office. I think that time is going to come in the next four years. I think it was a great symbolic breakthrough. I think most women reacted strongly to a woman being nominated. I was pleasantly suprised and I think that feeling around the country multiplied over and over is going to change the nature of politics and that you're going to see a change for the better." Florence Shipek, Anthropology professor and the advisor of the Young Republicans club disagreed that a woman running for office would make much difference to the future of politics. Shipek stated, "Women have been moving forward since the thirties until, the fifties set them back." Alice S human, attorney with Albert, Jude and VanRemmen, agreed that it wouldn't change future politics. Republican group grows on campus Political experts have called it a reflection of t he country's conservative mood, or a reaction to a tighter economy. 'It" is the increase in conservatism on college campuses over the last several years, which has manifested itself during the 1984 campaign as a sharp increase in the number of college-age Republicans. The Young Republican Party has about 125,000 members nationwide, and the number is growing. The increase in numbers is perhaps most striking at Madison. While traditional liberal student leaders at Madison have been sculpting the Statue of Liberty on Lake Mendota or covering Bascom Hill with pink flamingos, Young Republicans have been busy recruiting. Two years ago, the Young Republicans had ten members. That number has grown to 120 members and 300 names, making them the largest organization at Madison. At Parkside the story is similar. The recently formed Young Republicans have ten members. "But we have not had a membership drive," says Gina G. Sheppard-Wolthausen, who formed the group several weeks ago. The group set up a booth in Molinaro Concourse last week. Sheppard-Wolthausen said the group gave away 500 Reaga n-Bush bumper stickers and pins in an hour and a half. She said she was surprised by the number of students who wanted pins to wear. Interest among professors was also strong. "I couldn't believe the faculty coming out of the closet," she said. Sheppaard-Wolthausen considers herself a political independent, however. She says she formed the group to get another point of view on campus. She does not uncritically accept the conservative view of things, she says, any more than she accepts the liberal view. "My education as an undergraduate is that 90 percent of the facts are based on somebody's opinion," she said. Ron Weller, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering, said the Republicans "appear greedy only because they have performed better in achieving their goals." He said the Republicans work on more crucial issues like national defense and foreign policy. "Most of the issues that the Democratic Party continues to introduce into their campaign are problems that could be solved more efficiently at the state and local level," Weller said. He said that while the Democratic Party is unable to run the country effectively, the Republicans have shown great political finesse by nominating an actor for president. "He was hired by the Republican Party to be a great leader," said Weller. "Reagan has done his job so well h e will be elected again."

I found it really interesting because a lot of tim es in professional theater you go for results, and this allowed me to work on the process of acting." Blackinton c ame to Parkside six weeks ago to be part of the cast of "Crimes of the Heart." She is a profesional actress who was hired to portray the role of Meg, giving Parkside dramatic arts students the opportunity to work with a professional and learn from her experiences. Dr. Lee VanDyke posted the position with the Actor's Equity Hot Line in Chicago. "Everyone in my age group had sent their picture in (to VanDyke). He only interviewed about ten people, so I was really lucky, and I do think of it as luck," said Blackinton. The people here at Parkside treated her "deliriously wonderful." She found VanDyke, as director, to be "...no different than many directors in professional theater. In fact, he gave me a lot ol freedom. He's a very good director." The rest of the cast members she found to be "...more honest in the play. That was a problem I was having. I wasn't as honest. It was1 making me re-evaluate and look for the truth in the play, rather than going for the laughs. "University theater has the luxury of doing art ... that's what I miss about it and that's what's so spoiling. When I got out of university theater (and into professional acting), I said 'This is theater?' because educational theater is more of an art form and there is more of an appreciaton for trying to find the truth. "Comparing professional theater to the university level, I was really surprised to find everyone was at the high quality level that they were," Blackinton said. "I had taught some classes in other places and some of the people were really terrible. Here it's incredible the quality work that you're getting. Lee (VanDyke) is doing a really remarkable job." From here Carolyn Blackinton goes to Chicago where she will be playing Brenda in "A Bedful of Foreigners" at the Drury Lane Theater. She will also be auditioning for a part in the Wisdom Bridge Theater production of "Hamlet." She is currently being seen in television commercials for the Chi- Chi's restaurants now being aired in southeastern Wisconsin. by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor The Psychology Club at Parkside is looking for members at all times. In their four-year existence, they have averaged a fairly small group, with about ten active members this semester.

The purpose of this struggling club is to familiarize psychology majors with each other, with the field of psychology and with career Vonnegut by Rick Luehr Asst. Feature Editor Kurt Vonnegut is a widely respected author whose works have time and time again found their way into the best seller lists. One of his books, "Slaughterhouse Five," also appears on another list, that of the most frequently banned books in American schools. "It's banned for ridiculous reasons," Vonnegut said at a recent press conference, "It's not an erotic book or an incitement to violence, or anything else. Years and years ago, somebody made up a list of 'bad' books. This list continues to circulate today. But it's a very dated list because the books that are on it were all published before 1972. The United States ought to celebrate that a dirty book has not been published since 1972. The whole thing is, nobody has updated the list. "Somebody tries to be a good school administrator or whatever, and doesn't know much about books. He or she gets hold of this list, from God knows where. (This person) reads the list, takes it seriously, and goes out trying to protect children, but doesn't have a very good idea how to do it. I realize that the people who are banning the books know that something is making their children crazy, and have reason to suspect it may be the books." Vonnegut also discussed his appearance in the "coffee achiever" commercial. "This is the only commercial I've ever done. I've turned down many.

"I got a letter from a guy who works with Ralph Nader saying I should give the money I made from the commercial to charity, that I should be ashamed of myself, and did I realize what this stuff did to pregnant women. I wrote him back and asked him if he thought I looked pregnant in the commercial." When asked what kind of person he would like to see in the White House, Vonnegut replied that he would like to see someone who would take an interest in the future. "We have become a very short sighted nation. Nobody is looking after our grandchildren's interests. Nobody's doing much about acid rain, pollution or this enormous debt. If there was some truly unselfish person who would think of future generations, who could get into the White House, that would be a welcome change, because we're all living day to day now, not taking the long view of anything." Vonnegut also had some advice for young writers. "If I were starting out now, number one, I wouldn't marry. I wouldn't want to put a family at risk, because it's a terrible way to make a living.

Give my regards to Broad Street by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor Paul McCartney's new LP "Give My Regards to Broad Street" is a soundtrack album to his new movie of the same name. Along with a handful of original tracks, it includes a wealth of early Beatle material reworked by the person once called "the cute Beatle." McCartney i s undeniably one of the finest songwriters in the history of popular music, having penned such diverse numbers as Yesterday, The Night Before, I'm Down, Heifer Skelter and Oh Darling. H is recent solo work, however, is a quaint bore, no more than a whisper in the realm of rock and roll. "Broad Street" is, like its predecessors, a sticky pop excursion with glossy trappings. The remakes lack the pure spontaneity of the originals, while the new songs are just more of the same technically wellcrafted, yet supremely empty compositions McCartney has been doing of late. How this music will tie into the plot of his new film remains to be Paul McCartney seen, but as an LP it serves only as another of many artistic embarrassments from a man who once gave us some of the finest music ever conceived. Ask For It At Your Favorite Hole! 12 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 RANGER Film, review American Dreamer • • • • by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor If you like light, funny, non-cerebral entertainment, then Warner Brother's "American Dreamer" is as good a film as you'll see this season. JoBeth Williams shines as a domestic housewife who wins a free trip to Paris where a blow on the head causes her to actully believe she is her favorite literary heroine, Rebecca Ryan, taking herself and the hapless Tom Conti on a series of exciting and amusing escapades throughout the French city. The film is well paced, well performed and makes great use of the location photography. The domestic scenes are cute, containing a well edited slapstick bit performed without stunt doubles; and the scenes that take place in Paris retain the fast pace and energy. The character's extra dimension offers a bit of an acting challenge to Williams who pulls it off with grace and style. Conti is delightful as her victimized comrade, playing comedy with much the same verve and precision as Dudley Moore. "American Dreamer" is.a delightful film containing all of the elements that make modern motion Tom Conti and Jobeth Williams pictures such a pleasure. While nothing pretentious or deep in the style of Renoir, Truffaut or Eisenstein, "American Dreamer" nevertheless is highly recommended for those relishing pure escapist entertainment, yet still desiring enough style and finesse to make the film analytically satisfying. "American Dreamer" is presently playing at the Regency Mall cinemas in Racine. PAB Film All The President's Men • • • • • by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor Oscars went to actor Jason Robars and screenwriter William Goldman for "All the President's Men," a screen saga of Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward (who recently wrote the controversial John Belushi book "Wired") and Carl Bernstein, who investigated the Watergate break-in which led to an earth-shaking scandal. This 1976 film is rather long, over two hours, but remains very engrossing, perfectly paced and filled with excellent performances by Robert Redford, D ust in Hoffman, Jack Warden, Martin Balsam, Hal Holbrook and Jane Alexander. "All the President's Men" is one of the most important motion pictures of our recent history, for both artistic and historic reasons. A fine and fitting entry into PAB's first semester film schedule. Hypnotist DeLuca a hit by Rick Luehr Asst. Feature Editor "It was really strange, like being in two places at once." This was how one man described his experience being hypnotized by comedian- hypnotist Tom DeLuca. DeLuca, who has been noted by Newsweek as one of the most popular acts on college campuses, appeared last Wednesday in front of a sell-out crowd in the Union Cinema. His unique blend of comedy totally captivated the crowd, earning him a standing ovation. DeLuca began his program with an extremely funny slide show. He then got several volunteers on stage to help him with his demonstration of what he calls BSP, a parody of ESP. DeLuca admits at the outset that he is a f ake and has no psychic powers whatsoever. This did not stop him, however, from correctly predicitng what word one volunteer Album rock out-EOR in According to Kevin Goldman of "Variety" magazine, radio consultants who made their reputations through Led Zeppelin, Yes and Journey are abandoning these groups and AOR (Album Oriented Radio) format, and beginning another format for the "baby boom" generation tentatively titled EOR or Electronic Oriental Rode.

DeLuca hypnotized ten brave souls from the audience and put them through their "paces." He caused the volunteers to do such things as forget their own names, or, in the case of one subject, caused him to give a different name as his own each time he was asked. Among other things DeLuca caused them to revert to the age of five, see the audience nude, and made them believe that they themselves were nude. DeLuca has been performing for seven years and has been on the college circuit for five. He holds an MS in psychology from Sangamon State University. He says he tries to be different than the average performing hypnotists, most of whom PAB Free film by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor The free film series that PAB sponsors in the Union Cinema Tuesday nights at 7 p.m. has come a long way in the right direction from the awful Clint Eastwood festival last month.

No trace of boring Clint, and despite "A Star is Born," a rather impressive series of films, worth the free admission. A pause in the disaster by Carol Kortendick Sports Editor Infiltrating sports into features has been my goal since starting my job as sports editor. The feature editor and I constantly vie for readers' attention. When asked to write "Pause," I saw an opportunity to reach "feature section only" readers and hook them into sports. Sports at Parkside carries a certain stigma. If you're a jock, you're a dumb jerk. If you're a sports writer, you're an incapable writer. One individual went so far as to ask if the reason I became sports editor was because I couldn't get any other position. Even the editor in chief takes sports lightly, probably due to her lack of knowledge. She mistakenly thought 16-3 could be a final score in a soccer game. Readers give me no respect. Either they ignore sports altogether (I watched one woman leaf through the entire paper, then shut it when she reached the sports section), or send nasty letters to the editor. One man claimed since he has returned to Parkside, the sports section needs writers badly. I wonder if people know how hard it is to get writers. It's bad enough getting people to write news or features (where they get into movies or plays free), but when I ask if they're interested in sports, they gag and say they have no writing abilities.

According to Koch, the team has the personnel with the experience and the ability to accomplish these goals. This year's wrestling hopefuls include Jerril Grover, junior, at 118 lbs. Last year Jerril was 29-29. At 126 is Dan Hall, sophomore, who had a 24-10 record with 17 pins. At 134 lbs. are Jack Danner, sophomore, who was 10-8 last year; Bruce Mergner, sophomore and Johnnie Walker, freshman.

Soccer team completes week with a 2-1 win over NKU The Rangers finished a successful week with a 2-1 win over Northern Kentucky University last Sunday, Oct.- 28. In the game, which resembled a mud-wrestling match, the Rangers forged to a 2-0 half-ti me lead and clung to the victory. The heavy rains helped ruin the playing surface, but did not dampen spirits as both teams put on a fine display of tough collegiate soccer. Parkside's Greg Whipple scored just 12:16 minutes into the match and was assisted by Don Theisen and Jim Spielmann. At 26:10, Scott Gerhartz scored the game winner after stealing the ball from a NKU defender. Parkside dominated the first half, outshooting NKU 13-0. The second half saw NKU b attle back into a game played primarily in the midfield. "It was a well deserved win. NKU has a very good program, it was an exciting soccer match. I was pleased to see the dominance displayed by Jim Spielmann," said Coach Rick Kilps. Parkside's next match is against Wheaton College an NCAA Division Three ranked team in the country. Wheaton is currently sporting a 17-1 record with a 17 game winning streak. Parkside standings are 11-3. photo by Phil Janusiak Juggling in the afternoon.

Dannehl added, "Our attendance is equal to, if not better than the state university schools with perhaps the exception of Stevens Point and Eau Claire. The only reason their attendance is good is because they currently have strong basketball programs. A few years ago if you went to a Point basketball game, you had the whole gym to yourself. "This year we too have a good team. I would be surprised if we did not win 20 games this year," said Dannehl. Dannehl feels attendance is not a criteria for the success of Parkside sports. If it were, only men's basketball would survive and the other 15 sports would fold. "I was not really disappointed with our attendance last year. We drew 1,000 people to our home district playoff game, whereas Lacrosse only drew 200.1 realize that students have different activities. Sometimes over half the people in the stands at our games are nonstudents," said Dannehl. John W. Jensen, a Parkside senior, said, "I have gone to six or seven games every year until recently. I have other things to do now. I have always enjoyed the games and then going to the Union to drink beer and listen to the postgame entertainment. It's a good deal. It's too bad that Parkside is a commuter school, otherwise they would have a lot more people at their games." Jensen blames the Parkside sys-. tem for the lack of large crowds. "There just seems to be a lade of interest in every Parkside activity. It's not like it was when I was a freshman." He also feels that Parkside should appeal to groups. Dannehl notes the group factor also. "The Chemistry Club is sponsoring a faculty basketball game this year before the regular game. Beer companies are always interested in being a sponsor, though you must be careful there!" The lack of advertising and sponsorship has taken away the Parkside basketball radio contract with WRJN. A few years ago, every game was broadcast live, including the games out in California. "We still have a chance for radio," commented Dannehl, "however, television is out." According to Dannehl, Racine Telecable wanted to televise the games for free on live TV. Parkside asked for a nominal fee, but Telecable refused. "Maybe if the y showed our games on a tape delay basis, things would be different," added Dannehl. Jeff Jelineck, a Parkside freshman, plans on going to a few games this year. "I have read about Parkside basketball in the newspapers. I know they play some Division I teams. I plan on going to some of the games here." If more people have this school spirit attitude, Ranger home games could sky-rocket. Parkside has played in front of crowds in excess of 17,000 on the road against Division I opponents. "And we've won some of those games," said a smiling Dannehl. There are promotions lined up for this year. Dannehl explained that these promotions serve as a fringe benefit to the people who come to the games. They are not necessarily designed to increase attendance. Promotions include free admission to the post-game entertainment in the Union. Also, a ticket purchase for the opening game, Nov. 19, includes a free ticket for NOv. 20. A drawing will be held in which three people will be selected at half-time to shoot a half cou rt shot. A successful attempt will be awarded a $100.00 check. Dannehl also commented on the atmosphere at Parkside home games. "In years past we had a pep band, but received many letters from people who were angry at their rowdy conduct. We have replaced the band with a large organ. We feel that we have an exceptional organist this year to enhance everyone's enjoyment." Tickets for students are only $1 in advance and $2.50 at the door. The real bargain is the $10 student season ticket. This comes out to about 60' per game, and a season pass entities the holder to the entertainment in the Union a fter the game. Men's cross country Rangers capture 1st place by Eric Hilmoe The Ranger men's cross-country team avenged last week's loss to North Central by beating them in last Saturday's Chicago Invitational. The team captured first place with a score of 27 and were followed in second place by North Central, who finished with 65 points. Leading the way to victory was Tim Renzelmann. Renzelmann posted a time of 19:52, for first place. It was Renzelmann's second straight first place finish. George Kapheim followed in second place with a time of 20:04. Other Parkside finishers in the four mile race included Rich Miller in fifth, Dan Stublaski, eighth, Ted Miller, 11, Andy Serrano 16 and Dan Peterson, 25. Coach Lucian Rosa said of the victory, "This was the first time in weeks we didn't have someone sick or hurt. We proved that with our full squad together, we can be a very strong team."

Parkside outshot the Warhawks 18-2. Goalkeeper Jeff Medin picked up the win with freshman Mike Riva picking up the save. The defense did a fine job with sweeper Andy Buchanan picking up the pieces in back of solid performances by defenders John Scanlon, Charlie Rodriguez and Mike Robertson. Eduardo H err era, previously sidelined with a hamstring injury, was back to his earlier form, which provided the opportunity to switch the defense. Scoring in the Whitewater match for the Rangers were Rocky Donovan with two goals, Scott Gerhartz, one goal and Jim Spielman one goal. Greg Whipple picked up an assist. Wayne Adema also picked up an assist. ' '• p •' school Chicago rounded out the top five with scores of 92 a nd 154 re spectively. Women's cross country Team ties , for second by Carol Kortendick Sports Editor Parkside's women's cross country team tied with Milwaukee for second place in the Marquette dual meet held last Saturday, Oct. 27. Both teams scored 52 point s. Marquette took f irst with 33 points. Michelle Marter led the Rangers with a fifth place finish and a time of 19:05. Julie McReynolds took eighth place with a time of 19:41. Sarah Hiett finished in 19:59 and took 11, and finishing 13th with Jill Fobair with a 20:14 time. Behind Fobair was Colleen Weismer, who placed 15th with a time of 20:17. Rounding off the team were Julie Wunrow and Cathy Polacheck, 19th and 20th pla ces respectively. "We ran a regular race," said Coach Mike DeWitt. "There were no real outstanding times this week, with the exception of Julie McReynolds. She probably ran her best race of the season." According to DeWitt, the track was muddy and difficult to run. This made for a slower paced race. "The girls were not too pleased with their time," added DeWitt. "I thought they ran fine. They had a hard week of workouts and the course was difficult. Milwaukee is ranked in the top 10 for the state," said DeWitt. The women are resting up for Nationals, which will be held here on Nov. 17. MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL IN THE SQUARE T SCREEN MONDAY, NOV. 5 ATLANTA AT WASHINGTON > * BEER • SODA • WINE * POPCORN THE PARKSIDE UNION 16 Thursday, Nov. 1,1984 HANGER Miller aspires to attain Ail-American status by Carol Kortendiek Sports Editor This year's men's cross country team is said to be one of the best Parkside ever had. Some of the team's strengths come in the form of Rich Miller, a junior in his third year on the team. Miller graduated from Case High School in Racine. According to Miller, Case's cross country program is ranked second in the state. The 20-year-old junior began his running career in seventh grade. "I never liked cross country until about my senior year in high school. I love it now, in fact, I like it even more than I did in high school," said Miller. In high school, Miller was named Soccer Men take game from ISU-E Fighting a strong head-wind, the Parkside Rangers took the match from NCAA Division II Indiana State Evansville, 3-1. The Rangers went into half-time deadlocked 0-0. The second half was a different story. After blowing three one-on-one chances with the ISU-E goalkeeper, the Rangers lit up the scoreboard on a corner kick play from Jim Spielmann to Andy Buchanan for a driving head shot goal at four minutes of the second half. ISU-E came back to knot the score 1-1 on a penalty kick after an Eagle forward was taken down in the box a t 17:63. The Rangers waited to score the game winner until 41 minutes when Scott Gerhartz's cross found Mike Robertson in front of the net. Robertson flicked the ball on to teammate Wayne Adema for a full-volley goal. At 44:55 minutes, Scott Gerhartz beat the opposing goalkeeper only to be pulled down by the keeper. Mike Robertson converted the penalty kick for the final goal. "I was not particularly pleased with our second half play, but was content with the results. After ending the first half 0-0 and having beaten the strong wind, I felt we could have done much better in the second half. We let them back into the game. Once again, however, we proved not be be quitters," stated Coach Rick Kilps. three times to the Racine County First Team for cross country. In his senior year. Miller was state champion on the mile relay for track, and was awarded All Milwaukee County for cross country. According to Miller, when he arrived at Parkside three years ago, the cross country team was not very good. Miller also had to adjust to new coaching. "Rosa is a great guy. He's learning how to be a better coach as the season progresses," added Miller. "I've learned through him and the past two seasons how to adjust. Rosa can also read me a little better." Unlike many runners, Miller doesn't usually train off season. Some guys, according to Miller, may average 100 miles a week. Thus, in July and August, Miller was averaging about 30-60 miles a week. During the season, Miller averaged between 70 and 80 miles a week. "Right now, I'm tapering off to 50 miles a week, because the team is gearing up for Nationals," said Miller. Miller explained this system of running. "You want to build up a base during off season. To do that, you go thorough workouts that condition you for the races. The more miles you have behind you, the better off you're supposed to be." Miller lives with his parents and one sister. His parents have always supported his running. "Through high school, my parents went to the meets and fully supported my cross country. Now, however, since the team travels a lot, they're unable to keep up with it as much as they would like. I know they're still supporting me." Miller's academic concentration is accounting. At present, he sees no real future career in running. "I'd like to get into some coaching. If the chance came, I'd take it." The goal for Miller is to reach All American athlete. "Right now, I'm running personal records and each season my times drop. Hopefully, I'll be able to gain All American status, which should be a goal for any college athlete if they're serious," concluded Miller. Women's basketball Team has potential to be good! by Carol Kortendiek Sports Editor The up and coming women's basketball team has what it takes to be good despite some crucial drawbacks, according to Coach Wendy Miller. "Potentially speaking, we should be very good, but I think our youth and inexperience are going to be against us for a while. All these kids are learning to play together for the first time," said Miller. Parkside's ten member team consists of two returning players and eight new players. The returnees are Merry Dickman, senior and Debby Hansen, sophomore. New members are Kelly Conners, Camy Greco and Karen Tuinstra, freshmen; Cheryl Ketterhagen, Melissa Osterman, Kim Van Deraa and Kay Wolferstetter, sophomores; and Mary Metcalf, junior. According to Miller, the number of players will make it hard for the team to survive. Miller explained, "If someone gets hurt, we'll be low in numbers and it's hard to scrimmage without enough people." The team has four guards, seven forwards and one center. "We'll be hurting in the guard position. If our guards get injured or into foul trouble, we'll be in trouble," explained Miller. With all this against the team, one may expect a poor outlook from the coach and players. Miller, however, is nothing but positive. "If we play according to plan, we should only lose about 10 games this season," said Miller. The new coach hopes to push over .500 this year. Miller says the team is rebuilding itself and adjusting to a new coach. "The girls are learning my system and I'm getting to know them. It's presenting some problems," Miller added. Miller's concept of rebuilding includes intense running and conditioning. Miller's team is going back to the basics and learning aggressive man-to-man defense. "I like to push the tempo of the game. I feel if we can run, we can be more effective and create more scoring opportunities." This may increase turnovers, but Miller hopes the team's play will outweigh the turnovers. Miller said, "People who know my teams know that we play very aggressive man-to-man defense. We full court press and we like to fast break as much as possible." With this aggressive defense, Miller hopes to force the other teams to create a lot of turnovers, and give them less time to shoot on the shot clock. "I don't know if we'll be able to press as much as she wants, because we just don't have the bench to do it," said player Debbie Hansen. "Also, the tendency to foul is greater and we have a small team." In spite of some differences of opinion, most team members have a positive outlook on this year's coach and season. "She works us really hard, but I think it'll be to our benefit," said Merry Dickman. Hansen said, "I think there's potential if we work at it. The small numbers and small size are what's going to hurt us. There are possi- Volleyball team Sports by Kimberiie Kranich Parkside's women's volleyball team lost a close match to the University of Illnois in five games with scores of 16-18, 15-5, 15-7, 9-15 and 10-15. Last Saturday, the women played in the University of Minnesota tournament and qualified for the Level n playoffs. "We played very well in Chicago. Our offense was there and we had good defense," said Coach Terry Paulson. Although the women didn't play very well in the round robin at the Minnesota tournament, they improved during playoffs. In the playoffs, Parkside defeated two schools from Minnesota, Augustana and Gustavus Adolphus, but lost to the University of Alaska- Anchorage by scores of 15-17 a nd 10-15. At the tournament, Parkside's Kim Tesher earned the honor of All Tournament. This means she was recognized by all opposing coaches as being the player who contributed the most to the tournament. Parkside's next match is the NAIA District match on Friday, Nov. 2 Parkside will play away against Milwaukee. trivia Welcome back, trivia fans! This week's question is: Most football fans know that O.J. Simpson wore number 3 at USC a nd for most of his NFL career, but originally that number was taken by a teammate on the Buffalo Bills. What was Simpson's original assigned number? The last question was: Who were the first participants in the first Monday Night Football Game? The answer is: the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets. bilities, however, with the new coach. "I think Miller will help a lot. She has given us a new attitude towards the team," Hansen added. Miller knows a lot about basketball, and the players think this will help compensate for low numbers and small size. According to Dickman, the low number of players is the result of graduation and poor recruiting. Tough contenders playing against Parkside are Green Bay, Marquette, Milwaukee and St. Norbert. The women are anticipating an overall difficult season. The players compared this year's team to last year's. "This year's team is totally different from last year's team. There's a lot more togetherness, team play and better attitudes. People really care about being on the team," said Hansen. She added, "Also, the new coach has impressed upon us that we have to be close and have a good attitude in order to win. We want to win because last year's team wasn't all that good." According to Miller, the women's skill levels are very high, with most of the women coming from good high school programs. Dickman added to this thought: "We're not real tall, but we're quick and everyone is pretty smart..basketball smart." The team is picking things up quickly, says Miller, and the attitudes and enthusiasm are great. "I just hope we can maintain this throughout the season," she said. "Things are starting to jell and are looking pretty decent," said Miller. The team meets their first opponent, Lewis University, on Nov. 27.
