Survey shows - Students want housing Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Thursday, April 4, 1985 University of Wisconsin-Parkside Stranger Pages 6 and 7 Sorensen - Brains and talent Page 12 Vol. 13, No. 25 Survey shows Students want housing by Jennie Tunkieicz Editor The On-Campus Housing Survey recieved an overwhelming response. Tom Krimmel, Development and Alumni Affairs, said that only 500 surveys were expected, but that 1080 were completed and 100 extras came in late, although they were not compiled. "The survey reached 25 percent of undergraduate students, which really gives us valid predictions of what students here need," said Krimmel. Krimmel proposed a three phase plan to construct three housing units — a three story single student housing building, a three story married student townhouse complex and a two story complex for elderly students, which would be started in 1986 if the plan is accepted by the UW Board of Regents. The single student portion of the survey results show a significant demand for that type of housing. The results also helped determine the mix of units desired, such as single or double occupancy. Krimmel said it appears that two double and two single occupancy units per suite will be most desirable. The survey results also show that the estimated price range of $125-$135 per month for a double occupancy unit is feasible. The results of the family unit portion of the survey showed only a 107 unit demand. "Our initial thinking was to build 80 units so we will probably scale down that number. Student seats by Pat Hensiak Campus News Editor The United Council of Student Governments (UC) met this past weekend to digest information on their restructuring, information on the candidates running for UC President and to be informed of UW-Oshkosh Faculty Senate setting up a task force to determine the need for student seats on academic committees. Students at Oshkosh seemed repelled by the news that the Faculty Senate had developed a task force to explore the possibilities of removing students from academic committee seats. JoAnna Richard, Oshkosh Student Association explained "The efforts are completely Gov. Earl's farm stand Page 5 But we can see that there still is a need for family housing," said Krimmel. "One thing this survey doesn't get at is the prospective student demand. We can't determine the number of future heads of families who may want to use family housing," he added. Senior citizens are currently being polled to determine the need for elderly housing. Krimmel said the results gathered from the survey were not unexpected. "Since Parkside started there has been a demand for housing. There was an attempt to satisfy that need with Parkside Village (a privately owned apartment complex on Hwy. near Tallent Hall) but that didn't work out very well; the university has to have control." Some very interesting information was gathered from the survey results. 51 percent of students polled said they would live in on-campus housing if the price was appropriate. 56 percent said they would have lived in on-campus housing if it had been available when they first started school and 44 percent said they would live in on-campus housing for all four college years. A majority of single students polled felt that refrigerators, telephones and kitchenettes are important features to have in every room. A majority of all the students polled stated that reserved parking next to the building, laundry facilities in the building and a near by convience store are very important. Students indicated on the survey that the main benefits of having oncampus housing is that they would have more study time, it would improve the overall college atmosphere, increase access to all the facilities, cultural/social activities and the library and it would save time and cost of transportation. The Chancellor will formally present Parkside's Housing plan to the Regents on May 9 and 10. Krimmel feels the Regents will react positively to the request. "We would like to do something similar to what Madison has recently done. Madison obtained 300 acres of land from the Regents to build a Research Park. Ours is a similar type of project because we would like to purchase land from the Regents to improve the campus and the community by building housing," said Krimmel. Krimmel said that the community also seems to be responding well to the prospect of housing at Parkside. Currently the housing fund raising potential is being studied. "Fund raising for housing doesn't seem to be a problem at other UW's, which is encouraging," he said. "Student housing would be such a boost for the economy in the community. It would bring construction jobs to the area, for example, and it would significantly enhance the university and keep local kids and their money in the community," said Krimmel. endangered in Oshkosh faculty oriented. We don't want this to happen and we're going to fight it, too." The Commission for Academic Affairs was one of the committees Richards referred to. "Right now there is a ratio of four student votes to 20 faculty votes. They want to restructure it so that there are no student votes. Students would just be consulted on important matters. It seems to me that they're trying to fix something that isn't even really broken." Richards explained that the action is in direct violation of merger and that part of the reason this came up has to do with interpretation of the merger law. Part of the law states that faculty has a primary function in implementation of the policies developed by the faculty committees. Students have been responding to this by stating that faculty may have a primary responsibility, however, their responsibility is not sole. At this point Richards said the students will fight it through the administration, who she did not regard as supporting it and through other faculty members who are showing support for the student seats at this time. Candidacies for UC president from both Terry Tunks, Parkside, and JoAnna Richards, Oshkosh, were declared. Both candidates are in the process of developing position papers, and will submit them to their constituencies later this week. Taking the oath Pat Ramsdell (top) and Bob Vanderloop were sworn into their newly elected PSGA positions of President and Vice-President by Chief J ustice Carla Thomas on Friday.

Ranger reserves the right to edit letters and refuse letters containing false and defamatory content Letter to the editor Grill hours should not be changed To the Editor: This letter is a complaint about the new Union Square Grill hours and the cutback in services to the university community. When the Grill opened after Spring Break with new and unexpected hours, many people were shocked. The closing of the Grill between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. leaves only the WLLC Coffeeshop open during those hours. With the food service contract expiring after this year, Bill Niebuhr, Union Director, and Pat Nora, Food Service Manager, discussed ways in which the bid for the new food service contract could be made more "appealing." This resulted in the closing of the Grill. This decision was made without consulting with or receiving input Students needed on UC Parkside Student Government Association is seeking students interested in particpating in United Council of Student Governments. As an active member of United Council, PSGA i s required to send a delegation of students to each meeting at other UW campuses. For more information about participating in UC, contact Pat Ramsdell, PSGA president, in the PSGA office, WLLC D 139A. Opening day tickets The Alumni Association is selling tickets for opening day at the Brewer's game, which will be held Tuesday, April 9. Students may purchase tickets from the Alumni office, WLLC 3322 or call 553-2414. Tickets are $5.50 each and bus tickets are available for $2.50 each. Guskin open forum set The Ranger is sponsoring air Open Forum with Chancellor Alan E. Guskin on Tuesday, April 16 from noon to 1 p.m. in Main Place. Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to attended the Open Forum and ask questions, express concerns or express congratulations. from the Parkside Union Advisory Board. Is the closing of the Grill really more appealing or is this an indirect attempt to insure the return of the Heritage Food Service because of t he "close working relationship" between Niebuhr and Nora? We feel this is setting dangerous precedent by p utting Union profits ahead of the students' best interests. The Union is owned by the students, and the students' rights are clearly being violated. Therefore, we feel this "decision" to shorten the Union Square Grill hours should be rescinded immediately. Jack Kemper Jill Whitney Nielsen Keith Harmann Mike Farreil Available committee seats The Parkside Student Government Association is looking for students interested in participating in any faculty committees. There are currently over 30 open seats on committees. Committees cover a wide spectrum of topics from academics and athletics to parking and a variety of other important topics. Appointments to these committees must be made by the president of PSGA, Pat Ramsdell, by August 15. For more information about participating on a faculty committee, contact Ramsdell in the PSGA office, WLLC D 139A. Series of peace discussions Post Nasal Strip A P eace in the Nuclear Age series is underway, featuring topics ranging from nonviolence to the inevitability of war. Ken Harper, English lecturer who has been active in developing the series, said that the series was conceived in part to determine if there is an interest in establishing a peace studies program on campus. "Several faculty members, such as John Harbeson, Ken Hoover and Laura Gellott, are trying to gather interested faculty and students to help put together a formal peace studies program here," said Harper. Harper described the concept for a future program as a course that would discuss conflict and resolution and how these concepts relate to current world situations. He said that similar courses are offered at Madison and Oshkosh and are very popular. The Peace in the Nuclear Age series is held every Wednesday in Moln. 107 from 1-2 p.m. The topics and speakers are as follows: • April 10, "Dwell in Peace: Applying Nonviolence in Everyday Relationships" author, Ron Arnett, who also teaches at Marquette, will ^discuss his book. • April 17, "Pacifism and Activism" will be the topic discussed by Sister Jean Verber, Sienna Center. Sister Verber was involved in the protest of the placement of Cruise missiles in England. • April 24, "War and Ethos" will be addressed by John Longeway, Philosophy professor. • April 31, "Peace in a Wartime World: Utopia or Reality?" will be the topic discussed by Ken Hoover, Political Science professor. • May 8, "The Inevitability of War" will be discussed by Paul Tungseth, counselor at Lighthouse Associates. by Paul Berge Folks Worth Mavis is the person who, when you are marginally late for class, is 3 or 4 cars ah< of you, driving down Meachem RA/22nd Ave. at 40 m.p.h.

This will be an experimental learning opportunity that may be tailored to suit a variety of educational goals. The position begins July 1. The position was developed in the spring to respond to a staffing need in Student Activities. "The internship will offer some good experiences in helping others become more involved and helping to take some of the load of duties in that area. Between SUFAC and muyself, the feeling was fairly mutual that the requirements in that area could be filled by an internship and that it would be a good learning experience for our own graduates," said Jennifer Price, Interim Director of Student Life. The position will fall under the direction of the director of Student Life and will be responsible for providing leadership and assistance in efforts to increase curricular and co-curricular involvement of undergraduate students. Some specific duties will include collecting and disseminating to appropriate groups information from admissions forms of new students that would indicate an interest in various types of campus activities; performing market research and evaluations for campus programming; recommending programmatic innovations to appropriate groups on campus, and/or assisting in the implementation of new or experimental programming strategies or promotional activities; and promoting and assisting in the implementation of various or new peer model and assistance programs. The intern's other administrative or programmatic responsibilities will be determined based on campus priorities, as well as on the intern's skills and career and educational interests. In addition to performing the job responsibilities, the intern will pro pose and complete an internship project mutually agreeable to the intern, the Director of Student Life and an internship project advisor from the faculty or staff. Wide latitude is permitted in the project; it could be a research paper about some aspect of student or campus life, an evaluation of a program, or the development of a specific product like a brochure, handbook or workshop. Applicants are asked to propose a project, but there will be an oportunity to modify and further develop the proposal after employment. An applicant should propose a project relevant to his/her own career and educational interests and one that relates to what the applicant, from personal experience, regards as a campus concern or priority.

Campus Ambassadors sought by Pat Hensiak Campus News Editor A new program will be implemented for the fall semester, designed to orient students and their families to the university. Campus Ambassadors will be responsible for assisting the faculty and administration with the introduction of the total university experience to incoming students and their families and l isist in the introduction, orientation and registration for all students. Ambassadors will be regarded as direct representatives of the university community and will have the opportunity to provide guidance in areas of academic advising, personal exploration and evaluation and will help increase familiarity with campus resources and facilities. There are specific job responsibilities and requirements a potential ambassador must possess. In the program development, ambassadors must be able to lead small group discussions, assist with advising and registration, participate in panel discussions, facilitate large group activities and lead campus tours. At the beginning of each semester, the ambassadors will staff the various information booths, be available to students and faculty members in programs designed to answer questions, provide information and lend assistance, develop materials for specific programs, act as a peer advisor for new students as assigned through orientation, 1 meet with new students, set an example by adhering to rules and regulations of the university and work at other functions as assigned or requested. The training sessions for the first Campus Ambassadors program will begin this month and continue through August. Attendance at all training sessions is required. Other training sessions may be set up if and when new programs are developed. To be in the program, students must achieve a 2.0 cumulative GPA, be in good academic and skills standing, carry a minimum of 6 non-audit credits and not graduate before May 1986. "The ambassador program will help prepare students and their families for the transition to college and student life," stated Marilyn Bugenhagen, Assistant Coordinator of Student Activities. "We're looking for 12-15 people who have good group dynamic skills, who can lead a large group discussion, run a campus tour, coordinate a small group session, work with people one-toone and who can help with registration, orientation and Open House." There will be a salary of $300 paid throughout the year. Ambassadors will get meals and snacks at specified programs as well as a shirt and badge to wear. "It's not a lot of money, but the program has some good experience to offer, especially in terms of working with people and developing as a leader," said Bugenhagen. Applications are available in the Student Activities Office (Union 209), Student Development/Community Student Services (WLLC D175) and at the Information Desk. A complete application and two forms of recommendation must be submitted to Bugenhagen by April 12. Interviews and final selection will be completed by April 30. Influence of memory pills discussed "The Influence of Brain Chemicals on Learning" is the title of a free public lecture at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, April 10, in Union Room 106. Noted researcher Curt Sandman will discuss the use of 'memory pills." Sandman, a professor in the department of psychiatry and human cehavior at the University of California's Irvine Medical Center, bejves that chemicals can be used to manipulate the brain, and specifically, improve memory. Sandman says that while traditional theories hold that memory is improved through drill and practice, chemistry may actually be the key to memory improvement. The memory pill, which one day may rival the contraceptive and the tranquilizer in social impact, already exists and is being tested in clinics and hospitals, he says. Sandman, who is director of research at Fairview Hospital in Costa Mesa, Cal., and also teaches at Colorado Mountain College, holds a PhD from Louisiana state University and is a licensed clinical psychologist. His Parkside appearance is being funded by a grant from the Exxon Foundation. NEWS BRIEFS Madison students robbed Dorm residents at UW-Madison lost as much as $10,000 because of several break-ins at Wisconsin Hal l over spring break, the Daily Cardinal reported. The thefts, in which some individuals lost up to $1,400 wo rth of stereo equipment and records, are believed to be the work of persons who either live or work in the building. While more than a dozen rooms were entered, there was no sign of forced entry, except at the dorm office, where the building's master keys were taken. A student there said the dorm's management has done almost nothing to handle the situation. "The only thing they did was put up a sign telling us to call the police," she said. "That was the only effort on their part." Canadians split from UAW An agreement between the United Auto Workers and the Canadian branch of t he union to form a separate union was reached last week, the Associated Press reported. The split was unanimously approved by the 350-member Canadian Council, and locals will vote later this year on whether they wish to remain part of the international union. The new organization began financial independence Monday, and as part of the agreement with the UAW recei ved $23.7 million, including a $21 million strike fund. The Canadian union director, Bob White, had urged the split after he and other Canadian union officials complained about the settlement the international union reached with General Motors last fall. Aspin looks at pensions Les Aspin, after having helped convince Congress to approve funds for the MX missile, is turning his attention to the military retirement system. United Press International reported. * Aspin's plans do not include changing the system for those currently retired, he said. "In the last 15 years, there have been nine different studies of t he military retirement system, including five within the Defense Department itself," he said. "All have produced concrete proposals for reforming the system and reducing costs. Yet nothing has been done to date." The comments have been taken as a signal that the Reagan administration will not get other programs as easily as it got the MX funding.

White, the visiting scholar on campus, spoke last Wednesday on the topic "Teaching Peace at the College Level." White is currently professor emeritus in social psychology at George Washington University. His visit was sponsored by Parkside's Honors Program. White said that the lecture should not have been titled how to "teach peace" but more appropriately "Education on the Causes and Prevention of War." White sees that education on the causes and prevention of war is needed because of the increasing motivation for peace. "Nuclear war has to become preeminent in the minds of the citizens. It should be the main concern before anything else in their minds," stated White. White stressed that in order to educate people on peace, you have to look at what is being taught today and what is wrong with that. There are five courses at Parkside, White pointed out, that approach the subject of peace and war. They are in various disciplines, ranging from history to political science. "The overlapping of disciplines cannot be helped. Peace has acquired an enormous value when compared to nuclear war. There is an increasing need for attaining peace. One-sided, overly pacifistic teachings are a danger that has to be avoided," White said. In the outline for the college level peace course, White emphasized that although the subject is interdisciplinary, it has to be selective in what is used from each field. In doing so, a very factual course can be developed. This will result in a legitimate major in peace, based on analytical data. Some of the fields from which material could be gleaned are psychology, political science, philosophy and history. "Most courses approaching the subject of war do not look at 20th century history. It seems to be a blind spot, along with Soviet studies. To me they both seem most essential," said White. "The most inclusive problem today is whether we should employ deterrence or tension reduction with the Soviets. That all depends on the opponent, and for that you need to understand 20th century history. You need to look at what kind of leader Russia has now and learn to respond accordingly." he said. Relevant parts of psychology would deal with defense studies from a military aspect, along with the ethics of violence and non-violence. This would help students gain an insight into how the government looks at a particular situation. With these courses and others, White envisions a two-Mor threeyear study for a fully comprehensive education on peace and war. The ideal professor for this course would "either be somebody outside the fields in study or a person who is on the leading edge of the field, like myself, for example," commented White with a laugh. White's stay at Parkside lasted through March 28. Along with this talk, White lectured in political science and history classes that dealt with US-Soviet relations and efforts to keep peace. "The most inclusive problem today is whether we should employ deterrence or tension reduction with the Soviets." — Ralph White.

Sun Prairie Democrat Loftus discusses issues Representative Thomas Loftus, speaker of the Assembly, (D-Sun Prairie) spoke at a Social Science Roundtable last Monday on the topic of "Current Legislative Developments." Loftus covered a wide range of topics being discussed by state legislators. For example, the legislature is unanimous on the decision that the UW s ystem needs a pay raise. Legislators are confused though, he said, when they are not thanked for that pay raise. As a result, legislators are confronted with, in their eyes, a bunch of "esoteric issues" about the UW system. "A problem arises with the definition of a system," he said. "We (the legislators) are always concerned with the system budgets and what the system needs. Never do we confront what the system is and what the university's separate needs are. "With the conflict that arose over the Regent's distribution of UNITARIAN UNIVERSALIS have always been known to question hand-me-down religious doctrines? Have you ever felt disenchanted with an orthodox religion because it hands you a predigested faith? If so, our church may be for you. For hundreds of years this vital denomination has been encouraging individuals to question and to grow. Join us Sunday at 9:30 a.m. in the celebration of Easter, with Church School Children. BRADFORD COMMUNITY CHURCH (Unitarian Universalis!) Woman's Club • 6028 8th Ave. Rev. Tony Larson, Minister the faculty pay, I created the Select Committee on the Future of the UW System. They went to different campuses and saw what individual needs were," commented Loftus. As Speaker, Loftus not only has the power to appoint people to chair committees, but also to create committees when the need arises. The Select Committee used their research of the campuses' individual needs to formulate questions that will be given to the Board of Regents. This way the Regents will be able to see what the problems are and will be able to judge progress in areas that need attention. The committee saw that Madison needed to relieve the pressure of the numbers of entering freshmen and undergraduate students. This was remedied by a proposal that would raise academic standards, making it more difficult to be admitted to Madison. The committee saw that Milwaukee did not have enough lab or dorm space. "We saw students sleeping in the halls. Not for a rock concert, but to be the first ones to get the limited number of a vailable dorm rooms," said Loftus. The committee termed Green Bay the university that was "all dressed up with nowhere to go." Green Bay has the facilities to accommodate more students than are presently enrolled. Another issue raised is one of taxing teacher pensions. Loftus said the tax reform bill will fit the broad outline of the governor's proposal, with a tax rate no higher than eight percent and having three brackets. The proposed standard deduction will be higher than the current standard. Overall, a lower rate, higher deductions and a broader base that would include fewer exemptions, credits and. deductions, would help fund the increased benefits. The issue of the divestiture bill was also brought to Loftus' attention. The Ways and Means Committee, headed by Rep. Jeffrey Neubauer (D-Racine), will use divested funds to supply short-term loans for state corporations. The divestiture bill proposed that state funds invested in South African businesses (or in businesses that have South African connections) would be divested and used in other markets. The money lost in reinvesting these funds would be alleviated with state-funded short-term loans. "The appeal of investing in South African business is that it is a nice, clean way to use cheap labor to make high profits. South Africa is the only country on the face of the earth to have constitutionally-supported segregation. Blacks are not regarded as people. It is a Third World country in reference to blacks, but an industrialized nation in reference to whites. With the white-controlled government handling business affairs, U.S. businesses don't have to dirty their hands in the matter. I believe that we should have nothing to do with these businesses. They are there to make a quick profit. If you hear otherwise, let me know," exclaimed Loftus. Loftus said the divestiture bill will come around again dur*ng the next session of the Wisconsin State Senate, convening in late April, or possibly in October. Annual student art show featured The Fourth Annual Parkside Student Art Show will open on Monday, April 15, with a 7 p.m. reception at the Communication Arts Gallery.

HANGER' 5 .Thursday, AjftriH,1985>,,, Guskin leaving A look at future by Pat Hensiak Campus News Editor With the announcement that Chancellor Alan Guskin is leaving on August 1, the Chancellor attempted to answer some questions in regard to the campus and further development of the university. At some point before system president O'Neil leaves his position in July, he will appoint someone to the position of Acting Chancellor until a search and screen committee can be set up and started. "President O'Neil really has the right to appoint anyone he likes, but he'll decide on the appropriate time and place and person to fill that spot," stated Guskin in an interview Monday. Guskin said he has some projects he would like to see through as far as possible before he leaves. "First of all, most of everything I've been setting up and getting involved in has been done with the option for me to leave. So, there are projects that are new, but they are not necessarily projects that are dependent. on my being here." Two projects Guskin has placed a priority on are housing and the Freshman/Sophomore Taskforce. "I'll be working on housing personally, to finish up as much as possible, make sure things go as planned. But even if they don't, I think there's enough commitment from the faculty and students in this area to developing housing, that it will happen for Parkside. "I also feel a real commitment to the advancement of the Freshman/ Sophomore Task Force. I'm assuming they will be able to carry forward without any trouble whatsoever. For this committee, I think any new ventures will be handled right along as part of the task force. There are really a lot of good people working here to help Parkside get ahead. "I don't think this next year will be a year of waiting, I actually like , to think that I've been effective. To me that's defined as letting people be leaders." International talks Three free public talks by experts on topics of international significance are scheduled at Parkside beginning Thursday, April 18. The talks are sponsored by Parkside's International Studies Program and the Exxon Foundation. Following is a list of dates, times, topics and speakers: • "Nigeria: In Search of an Acceptable Solution," with Iowa State University professor of political science Victor Ororunsola at 3:30 p.m. in Union Room 106 on Thursday, April 18. • "Latin American Development," with Stanford University history professor Richard Morse at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, May 1, in Molinaro Hall Room 111. • "Third World Urbanization," with Northwestern University sociology professor Janet Abu-Lughod at 1 p.m. on Friday, May 10 in Union Room 106. Club Events IVCF The topic this week is "New Life," and we will discuss this on Wednesday, April 10 at 1 p.m. in Moln 107. Does your life leave you empty, wanting more or dissatisfied?

Earl takes stance on farming by Bob Kiesling Community News Editor States must take the lead in helping farmers, and not rely on the federal government to initiate programs to help farmers facing bankruptcy, Gov. Anthony S. Earl said Friday. Earl, speaking at the Governor's Conference on Agriculture at Carthage College in Kenosha, said the administration and Congress "have failed in their responsibility to provide an agricultural program." Earl told the group of about 150 farmers that politicians in Washington D.C. have not really recognized the poor state of agriculture in this country, and have not recognized that the economic health of farms directly affects the economic health of the entire country. "The farm crisis has grown so visible that everyone must pay attention to it," Earl said. "The magnitude of the problem cannot be understated." "The dilemma, however, is how we address it," he said. While states can provide temporary measures, he said, like Wisconsin's crop loan program which passed the state legislature last week, the problem can only be solved in the long run by the federal government, by cutting the deficit, which will bring down interest rates and land values as well as make American farm products cheaper in foreign markets. He said the state is also looking for other solutions, since Wisconsin's agriculture is an "essential economic feature, and also an essential feature of the quality of life in Wisconsin." He said that while some people have criticized the loan program as helping "only four to five thousand people," he said, "I think it is worth it to help a few people make it." One member of the audience, Walter Steele, a Rosendale, Wis. farmer with 220 acres and 50 dairy cattle, said after the conference that the comments "hit close to home. Everything." While Steele will not need a loan to get his crops planted this year, he said the situation has gotten much worse, and he has had to put off getting knee surgery and a vacation to keep his farm running. Gov. Robert Kerrey of Nebraska, who also spoke at the conference, agreed with Earl, saying that federal programs do not mean that farmers do not have to succeed on their own, but it is up to the federal government to make the opportunities available. "I believe it is reasonable for our government to give people hope that they will have opportunities," he said. "I do not think it is rea-, sonable for the government to satisfy every expectation." Focus group results set sights by Julie Pendleton In November of last year, Chancellor Alan Guskin appointed a task force, designed for the purpose of developing a more comprehensive and coordinated approach to student integration at Parkside. Because a sizable proportion of students fail to progress to their junior and senior years, Guskin felt it necessary to investigate the reasons why students are not completing their education at Parkside. Several of the faculty on the task force felt it would be beneficial if they alllowed the students the opportunity to voice their own opinions on the matter. So a focus group study was organized. Four sessions were set up with eight to fifteen students in each group. Two of the groups consisted of continuing students, one group of traditional age and the other of non-traditional age, with an accu mulation of at least 12 credits. The other two groups consisted of continuing students with at least 54 credits, one group traditional and the other non-traditional. Participants received a $10 incentive. An expert moderator, Tom Davidson of Davidson-Peterson in New York, was flown in to speak at the sessions. He was hired not only because of his expertise in moderating groups, but also because he could analyze the students' responses in an unbiased manner. Each session lasted IVz hours. The questions asked pertained to the students' impressions of Parkside, what they liked or disliked and what kinds of improvements they felt could be made. "The result of the focus groups should give us some penetrating insights into the undergraduate experience at Parkside," said Interim Assistant Chancellor Michael Bassis. Bassis was involved in the research subcommittee of the task force that pushed for the focus groups. His office provided help in coordinating logistical support. Jeanne Phillips, a student at Parkside, was hired to deal with the logistics, making phone calls, reserving rooms and handling other necessary arrangements. Mort Rovelstad, the Director of the Center for Survey and Marketing Research, who headed the focus group study, is expected to complete a report on the results of the study within a week. "That report will be the framework for some very serious campus- wide discussions about the quality of undergraduate education at Parkside," concluded Bassis. iimmmmimnnpp 111111111111111111 • 111111111111111 * 111111 ATTENTION ALL STUDENTS!! 1.

It happens four times a year as the dramatic arts discipline gets ready to stage a play. On April 19 the curtain will go up on "She Stoops to Conquer," or "The Mistakes of a Night," and all of the magic occurring in the weeks before opening night focuses in the spring main stage production. Three weeks ago director Lee VanDyke and stage manager Paula Boehler went into the rehearsal hall armed with a roll of masking tape and a single blueprint of the floor plan of the set. Within a short time they had taped out lines denoting steps, platforms and wagons. These lines represent areas that would become a tavern, a dining room, a library and a woods. In the scene shop, power saws were already buzzing. Eric Engender, the student technical director, had set his crew into motion. Students from areas as diverse as business, life science and English, among others, began to convert the plywood into platforms and steps. Judith Tucker-Snider was in New York for a convention during this time. While there she rented many of the 17th-century costumes that would send the 14 members of the cast back into Merry Old England. At the same time, students in the costume shop below the theater were working on other costumes and constructing the corsets and bustles that would help convert the actresses into 17th-century ladies. Back in the rehearsal hall, the cast was blocking the show. Holding scripts and watching the tape lines on the floor, they worked their way through the three-act comedy, finding the best spot to make each scene work. With each night's rehearsal, something new would be added — a bit of scenery here, a hand prop there. One night an actor would arrive with a hat or walking stick. Then the actresses were walking around in rehearsal skirts, and some of the men were sporting riding boots. Out on the stage, Keith Harris and the electricians were re-working some of the light battens. Upstairs, the box office personnel were starting to take reservations for the two weeks of performances. The magic has begun. There is an air of excitement from one end of the theater to another. When "She Stoops to Conquer" opens on April 19, the efforts of many people will come together on the Main Stage of the Communication Arts Theatre. That's the night they will add the final magic of live theater: you, the audience. Entertainment goes underground by Rick Luehr Asst. Feature Editor A short quiz. The Underground is: a) the French Resistance during WWH; b) the London subway system; c) where we put most dead people; d) a great alternative night club in Milwaukee. OK, all of the above are true, but the one we're concerned with here is d) a great alternative night club in Milwaukee. The Underground is located at 529 N. Broadway, not difficult to find. There's no big sign, just the name and the slogan "New Music for Now People" on the door. When you open the door you go down a flight of stairs into a small basement. The first thing you notice is the music. The Underground is one of the few places in this area where you can hear tunes by The Minutemen, The Cramps and Killing Joke. The music is best described as a medium- to hardcore punk. The crowd ranges from punks to geeks to preppies. The decor is, to put it bluntly, stripped down. The owners obviously didn't spend mega-bucks sprucing up the place. The paint is shades of r ed and gray. Various car parts, such as grilles and a dashboard hanging from the ceiling, are the main decorative elements. The walls are adorned with slogans like "anti-fashion" and "kiss dogs." One wall boasts the most bizarre decoration: an old turntable with a Two Great Places All Rolled Into One Package INSIDE MID-TOWN LOUNGE f> hypnotic spiral design in the middle and a tonearm that jerks spasmodically. In short, this place has got atmosphere. Tons of the stuff. The Underground features live bands that you won't see many other places in this culturally deprived area in which we live. In recent weeks, The Underground has featured such bands as The Appliances and Beat-The-Naked, both from Madison, and Milwaukee's own Couch Flambeau. The Underground is one of the hubs of the alternative music scene in Milwaukee. If you're hung up on a place to go on a Saturday night, and you're willing to try something different, real different, try the Underground, two doors down and light years away from Papagaio's. Ranger needs writers Police Academy 2 • * Inferior sequel by J im Neibaur Feature Editor A smattering of original e^gt members from "Police Academy" are on hand in "Police Academy 2," the inferior sequel to last year's comedy hit. While the first film succeeded as a comic study in character contrasts by introducing us to the various oddballs who choose to become cops after the town mayor lowers the force's entry requirements, the second film deals with their first assignment as cops and thus is more predictable. Many of the gags are funny, more of them are routine and forced. Directed more toward the junior and senior high crowd (a PG-13 rating instead of the original's R rating), "Police Academy 2" merely milks formula slapstick on the strength of i ts already established characters. Clios to be awarded One of the major flaws of this picture is that in order to appreciate it fully, one must have seen its predecessor (the element of c haracter recognition is extremely essential in a film like this). Another problem is the taming of the original characterizations, who aren't as manic or delightfully sinister as before. Perhaps the best performance comes from comedian Bob Goldthwait who plays a maniacal punker to crazed perfection. His tearful viewing of a "Family Affair" rerun is one of the film's funnier moments, along with Michael Winslow's hilarious rendition of a Bruce Lee fight scene. "Police Academy 2" is standard but not bad. While not as funny as its predecessor, it doesn't fall into the quagmire of raunchy comedies like "Porky's." Take it or leave it — no harm done either way. Come enjoy the fun commercials can create when "The 1984 CLIO Award-Winning Commercials" are presented at the Golden Rondelle Theater on Wednesday, April 17. The program will begin at 7 p.m. This 90-minute film special features 42 commercials that won recognition for being the "best of the bunch."

The group's debut LP on Capitol, "Ready to Strike," is a reason ably good ro ck and roll party record if the music remains in the background and the part of your mind that thinks doesn't have to deal with it. The band members are talented at what they do, but unimpressive stylis ts. The songs are all reasonably good rocke rs, but somewhat form ulaic The hit attempt, "Hunger" (a promo video), is one of the better tracks on the album, but none of the songs show any real innovation. Each song bumps and grinds along with sufficiently exhilarating guitar riffs and drum rhythms, but the LP just doesn't manage to extend its vision behind being just another hard rock re cord. . Hit status for "Hunger" is rather Simon fails again ^ree» David Michael-Phillips, Johnny Rod, Mike Sweda, Carmine Appice. unlikely, now that MTV has discontinued the showing of any heavy metal videos (now there's REALLY no reason for cable te levision), but "Ready to Strike" is still a good item of its kind. It maintains all the rudiments of hard rock, but takes them where they have been so many times before. If you're interested, you might want to hear it before picking it up. It's best to assume that you won't love it or hate it, but at best will find it a passable - yet-unexceptional rocker. Live LP from Aztec Camera by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor Aztec Camera founder Roddy Frame has changed his company of musicians quite often since forming the band in 1980, but they have nevertheless main tained their pristine acoustic rock sound right up to their latest re lease: a five-song EP recorded live in London. With songs like "Mattress of Wire," "The Birth of the True" and "Backwards and Forwards," Aztec Camera has maintained a stylish Drug Abuse "Not Me, A.D.," an original play about the imp act of drug abuse on an American family, will be presented b y the Wisconsin Theater for Children at the Golden Rondelle Theater at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, April 18. The program is open to all interested parties and both adults and children are encouraged to attend. The objectives of the program include presenting a program on a sensitive sub ject; leaving a lasting impression about making good decisions; showing the effect and negative influence that alcohol and drugs have, not only on the victim, but on family and friends as well; and to help young people understand that alcohol and drugs are not the answer or solu tion to life's frustrations. Reservations for this program are requested and can be made by calling the Golden Rondelle at 631- 2154 Monday through Friday. There is no admission charge. The Golden Rondelle Theater is located on the corner of 14th and Franklin Streets in Racine. approach to acoustic rock without the intrusion of electronic toys. They achieved some notoriety opening for Elvis Costello in 1983, as well as with their critically-lauded second album "Knife," which was released in 1984 and contained the single "All I Need is Everything." Aztec Camera is not accessible to top forty radio in that they don't partake in the frivolity of formulaic pop. Each song is clear, pure, intelligent and quite exciting, the EP's only ringer being a schlocky cover of Van Halen's "Jump," which is tantamount to Oreo Cookies sans the cream filling. Aztec Camera's EP (on Warner Brothers records) will not only exhilarate you, but will most likely arouse your curiosity about this fine group of musicians to the point where you'll seek out their other recordings (a com plete discography is listed inside the attractively packaged EP). Aztec Camera is yet another one of the really impressive, unusual groups at this time. by Rick Luehr Asst. Feature Editor Take two of America's favorite pasttimes, baseball and rock and roll, put them together and what do you get? In this case you get "The Slugger's Wife," the disappointing new film from Neil Simon. Michael O'Keefe plays Darryl Palmer, an outfielder for the Atlanta Braves. Darryl is in a slump. His batting average is just a little over .200. Then he meets Debby Houston (Rebecca DeMornay), an up-and-coming rock singer. After a strange courtship, Darryl and Debby fall in love and Darryl starts hitting again. After they get married, however, things become strained. Debby would like to get out and continue her career, but Darryl would rather she jus t come out to the ball park and watch him play ball. When she does get back into music, Darryl's batting average begins to slip and the marriage starts to fall apart. Will they get back together? Will Darryl be able to help the team to the pennant? Who really cares? The plot is the best part of "The Slugger's Wife." The characters and dialogue are flat and uninteresting. Simon has managed to write a few clever lines, but these are few and far between. The film never achieves any emotional depth, consisting mostly of very short, shallow scenes which, although they advance the plot, give few insights into the characters. The film obviously wants to capitalize on its musical score, l ike so many other films these days. The soundtrack isn 't up to this though, as i t consists mostly of new versions of previously recorded material, including embarrassingly bad renditions of "Little Red Corvette" and "Stray Cat Strut." The most disturbing part of the flim is its inherent message. This message seems to be: in order for a two-career marriage to work, the woman should give up her career and devote herself to supporting her husband's career. This is an odd message, particularly today. It may not be intentional, but it looms over the film and is ultimately very disturbing. As Darryl, Michael O'Keefe does as we ll as he can, considering the character he is given to play. Darryl is a self-centered, unappealing character who is too insecure to deal with his wife's career. Rebecca DeMornay, as Debby, sings well, looks great, but shows very little acting talent. She does all right with light conversational dialogue, but is totally unconvincing in any scene requiring any emotional depth. The supporting cast, which includes Cleavant Derricks and Randy Quaid, is given very little to do. "The Slugger's Wife" is Neil Simon's worst film to date. It shows none of the spark that has made Simon one of the most popular playwrights and screenwriters of today. It is a depressing "c omedy" that leaves you with a bad taste in your mouth. Do yourself a favor and skip "The Slugger's Wife." NOTICE! STUDENT JOB OPENING IN THE PARKSIDE UNION CASH-HANDLING ATTENDANT All positions available Fall semester.

Lori Nelson was Whitewater's winning pitcher, while Parkside's Michele Martino's record dropped to 3-2. Both pitchers faced 52 batters, struck out two and walked none. Tough d efense allowed few runs to score. Parkside totaled eleven hits while Whitewater had sixteen hits, wit h five extra-base hits. Parkside's Patti Mueller singled to right field bringing Martino in from third for the first run. Whitewater answered back with a run in their half of the inning. Late in the game, with two runners on, Ann Althaus singled to center field, scoring the runners and giving Parkside a 3-2 lea d. In Whitewater's half of the inning, a crucial defensive error by the Rangers allowed Whitewater to tie the game. With the bases loaded, Whitewater hit a shot to center fielder Jackie Rittmer, who caught the ball and threw to second, doubling the runner off.

"At the college level, the team that wins is the one making the fewer mistakes. We made two errors back to back," said coach Linda Draft. Whitewater also had two errors, but Parkside didn't capitalize on them. All of Parkside's runs were earned. Whitewater scored the winning run on an infield single.

Bowling Club's season wasn't what they expected by Robb Luehr The men's bowling club completed its season, and according to Glen Malkmus, "It wasn't what I expected." The club made a commendable showing this year, although it wasn't easy. "We had the talent — the problem was just getting the guys together to bowl," said Malkmus. "With Parkside being a commuter school, everybody has a job and different commitments. We couldn't get all the bowlers together on a regular basis. "Another problem was lack of tournament experience. There were only two or three of us who bowled on a regular basis in conference who had any experience before this year, and it showed." Jeff Floyd, a freshman, said "We started out thinking we were going to be decent, but then we had some problems. Even so, the season was a lot of f un." Malkmus cited two matches as outstanding this season. "Our finest "We had talent — the problem was just getting the guys together to bowl." — Glen Malkmus conference showing was in Oshkosh. It was our first meet of the season, and we really cleaned house." The other outstanding meet was the one against Milwaukee Feb. 2- 3. "We had all our best bowlers there. We had our strength split between two teams, and still got both teams in the top five." The outlook for next season, according to Malkmus, is very good. "We are losing only one bowler from this year, and there's still a chance for him to bowl. We also have a line on three or four new, very good people." Malkmus figures the competition will be tough in the conference next year. He said that Oshkosh and Whitewater will be the teams to contend with. "We certainly have the talent. We just have to utilize it," concluded Malkmus. Classified » PAC ISSUES th Services Offered TYPING: FAST and professional services. Student rates. Call Debbie at 681-3522. EDITING: ANY course paper.

Tim Sorensen Athlete builds his mind before his muscles oorHina i by Bruce R. Preston We a ll know the differences between jocks a nd athletes. Tim Sorensen, pitcher for Parkside's baseball team, is an athlete. He's not the only one at this university, but he's one o f the more personable. Sorensen, 22, is a junior nursing student with a healthy GPA of 3.1. A native Kenoshan, he claims his talents lie in being 5'11" and 170 lbs. with a powerful left arm. The starting pitcher has been playing ball since he was five. Though he can be found playing on city teams six nights per week during the summer, he never played Pony or Little League. "The goal of ball is to have f un and win the respect of the people you're playing with and against. It's not fun to be a 10-year-old kid getting hollered at for every mistake you make." Without the training and discipline of a league (although he played right field for Bradford High School), Tim began c ultivating his pitching talent at Parkside. Tim tells a story of throwing balls in the gym when Coach Ken "Red" Oberbruner noticed him. "I was pitching ignorant," said Tim. "Ken taught me a lot...he's made me the best I could become. I respect him a lot." Being personable is one of the characteristics th at sets T im apart. His dedication to his studies is another. When asked what his first priority is, Tim replied "Nursing, without a doubt. I've invested too much time and effort." So why play ball? "I've only a modest talent," said Tim, "but it's a shame to waste it. The only thing I do with any grace an d talent is throw a base ball." Tim began his studies in Engineering, but didn't like the people and said they were cold and callous. "I also couldn't see myself designing a bolt for the rest of my life." Still wanting to obtain a skill, however, Tim turned to nursing, a major which demands much of his time. Tim hopes to get into the field of Sports Medicine. He sees himself heading to a field that will enable him to work with people. "I'd like to relieve a little pain and do some go od." Talking about the stigma many have regarding "dumb jocks," Tim commented, "You're talking about Tim Sorensen someone who's probably been here on a free ride and not here for school. A few bad apples can spoi l the image, but most of the guys on the (baseball) t eam are here to go to school and want to play organized hard ball. "Usually these guys ("jocks") are suffering delusions of grandeur that someone will spot them and offer them a contract. If they're that good they wouldn't be here. You can still have dreams, but if you're not an outstanding talent, you maximize your strengths." Tim has done just that: "My strengths are in my schooling." Yet baseball and school overlap. The team sometimes refers to him as Doc or Professor. "Sometimes I'll show up for practice in my nursing outfit, or I'll be explaining the physics of a curve ball." He also shows up at the library, frequently in sweats, buried beneath a pile of books. Tim works for the Union dance crew, yet there's nothing for him like the feeling he gets playing ball. "You get a h igh out there. It's not like booze or drugs... there's just nothing else you want to be doing. " The team should be worth looking at this year. Tim feels that they should at least win their division. The team's offense and defense look solid this year, with the questions hovering around the bullpen. Tim's strength is his fastball, and Chris Rozell has developed a knuckle- curve. "Look for Rozell to have a good year," said Tim. Tim added to his comments regarding the team: "Mike Stolanck (left field) is the best talent I've seen in a long time. He's got speed, a strong arm, he hits with power and he's a helluva guy!" Spectator attendance, however, is the weakest po int of Parkside's baseball program. "I'm not there for the applause," Tim commented, "but it would be nice if people showed up. "I can name the people who come to games — it's always parents, girl friends and the women's softball team. It's really a good time because if it's a nice day you can s it on the hill, drink beer and watch the game." Tim's not the only athlete on campus, and he's not the only one to take school seriously. But, he's someone dedicated to school, baseball and having fun. "It's ridiculous to take things too seriously," said Tim. "I'll do the job; I'm competent... but I do like to have a good time." Women's track Outdoor meet: ' Good for us" by Carol Kortendick Sports Editor This spring's baseball team is shooting for .500, and to do it, will use brains in stead of brawn. "I want good character,' said Coach Ken "Red" Oberbruner. "To get i t good, you have to make the boy produce his academics. Then baseball can be added. "He's gotta have a brain in his head because he can't play baseball without one." Captain Duane McLean feels pitching is the weakest point in the team's link. Oberbruner admitted to having a young pitching staff, and said "The team is thin in reserve strength for pitching." Returning pitchers are Tim Sorensen, Chris Rozell and Kyle Backes, all juniors. First year pitchers are Mike Zukley and Vince Hall, also jun iors. Catching, on the other hand, is the team's forte. Catchers are Brian Hoppe (senior), Scott Brooks (junior) and John Nielsen (freshman), who may also play first base. Other infielders are: second base, either sophomore Steve Sadowski or freshman John Wegner; third base, Russ Haagensen; shortstop, Bruce Mergner, a sophomore and a first-year player. In the outfield are: left field, Mike Stolnack (junior); center field, McLean; right field, Rozell. Though the positions are filled, Oberbruner is having a hard time keeping players on the team due to academic eligibility. Despite this, the men work well together as a team. "We don't get too many blue chip athletes. The blue chip athlete would probaby go to the Big Ten schools," said Oberbruner. "We get the second or third recruits; therefore we don't have too much bickering. "The players find their own level. They know pretty well who can and can't play." Team's goal is to break even by Robb Luehr The women's track team started their outdoor season Saturday at North Park College in Chicago. Ten teams participated, including Wheaton, Concordia and Carroll College, yet no team scores were kept. First place finishers for Parkside were Jacqueline Cotton in the 100 meters (12.8 seconds) and the 200 meters (26.6 seconds) and Sarah Hiett in the 800 meters (2:26.2) and the 1500 meters (4:46.8). Colleen Wismer finished second to Hiett in the 800 in 2:30.1 and was third in the 1500 with 5:04.4. Karen Savage placed th ird in the 400 meters with a time of 1:04.6, and was sixth in the 200 in 28.8. Michelle Marter ran the longer distances, placing third in the 5000 meters with an 18:45 and fourth in the 3000 meters in 10:29.3. Julie Ann McReynolds was f ourth in the 5000 with a time of 18:52. Cotton, Savage, Marter and Merri Valukas teamed up for the 400 meter relay and finished second with a 52.5 . In the 10,000 m eter run, Carol Romano and Julie Wunrow walked to second and third place, respectively. Romano's time was 58:24, Wunrow's was 58:47. "It was a good meet for us," said coach Mike DeWitt. "Everybody who ran a race placed." This Saturday, Parkside will host a meet for the first time in three years. The meet begins at 11 a.m. on the Parkside track, in back of the Phy Ed building.
