The total number of votes represents about 0.02_percent of Parkside's 5,225 students. Election Committee mem- ber Bob Vanderloop said he can't remember an election with a lower turnout. Part of the problem, he said. Is that only eight candi- dates and one write-in ran for the nine available seats. "It would have been better if more students ran because . there would have been more competition," he said. Vanderloop pointed out that the competition would have meant more involvment and more publicity.

"It's that crossing point between economics and the quality of life. where mor- ality comes in. It The moral aspects of eco- nomics was one of several themes mentioned by Weak- land when he spoke In the Union Cinema last Tuesday as part of the three-part cour- se offered by the Office of Continuing Education. He is the chair of the ad hoc com- mittee that released the sec- ond draft of the Bishops' let- ter two weeks ago on "A Catholic Social Te~ching and the U.S. Economy." The release of the letter has thrust Weakland into the spot- light both of the Catholic Church and the national and international media. Time Magazine profiled him in its October issue, and the Mil- waukee J ournal said that ac- cording to both bishops and observers of the Church, his work on the letter on the Weakland see page 3 pliolO by Dave McEvoy Weakland spoke here last week Programs excite campus ., . approach to students' needs," Stu Rubner, director of Com- munity Student Services said.

Shutler said that many of the changes have been planned for several years. and that the attention the ad- vising center in Main Place is getting has drawn attention to the other programs. Among the new programs this year are the advising desk in Main Place, the Aca- demic Resource Center in the lIbrary, Minority Student Services, orientation for new students, the Campus Ambas- sador program and planned programs for a rolling reg- istration and studies intended to measure the impact of edu- cation at Parkslde. Other programs. like the microcomputer center, are expanding, since faculty and staff as well as students have begun to use the facility. Rubner says that the ad- ministratIon, faculty and staff at Parkside have begun to emphasize helping students. "We want to meet student needs," Rubner said.

The programs grew out of the same idea as the fresh- man-sophomore task force re- port, and reflect an attitude of greater sensitivity to stu- dents' needs, a reassessment of Parkside's image as a uni- versity and a committment to providing a, more effective education, administration, faculty and staff members say.

October 24. 1985 Editorial Rating is rotten "Rock and roll isn't a music. it·s a disease." - Mitch Miller, CBS Records, 1957 Slamming rock and roll Isn't anything new, as the above quote prove. What is new is that these do-no-wrong groups are now lobbying in an attempt to rate rock re- cords like fUms and subject them to a rating system. Why? To protect our children! Well the first point to make is that the really nasty songs from performers like Prince already have warning labels cautioning buyers that the material ~erein ~an be found offensive (Prince alludes to such thing's as Incest. lesbian sex and masturbation in his songs). But this is in the most explicit cases, where it does belong. To rate all rock albums according to their content is a positively ri- diculous Idea, tantamount to rating the more violent l\fOther Goose Rhymes ("Lizzie Borden," "There Was a Little em.': et all. Since its beginning in the rntd-Itrttes. rock music has been a statement of purpose for youth. The rebellion with- in roek and roll has always been against pretension and unnecessary categorizing of one's fellow man. Except in the aforementioned extreme cases, where warning labels are already being used, rock's dealing with sex merely re- lates the sexual angst experienced by all teenagers. no different than many Cole Porter compositions. Rock's eternal attachment to youth is stated in its power. energy and emotion. Its statements are strong and positive. Some examples: Fight t1l.eOoodfight every moment, Every minute, every day, Fight the goodfight, everybody 1t'8your only way. - Ric Emmett (Triumph) You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, AM the world will live as one. - John Lennon Wllea wiU you. stop and realize, God is the only way to lover - Geezer Butler (Black Sabbath) Ozzy Osbourne is pretty much marketed as a character for the teen horror/laughs market (like TV's "The Ad- dams Family"), this causing some groups to label his wack as satanic. Of course these labels are presented wttncut the person listening to the music. ~e only good thing that could come out of this whole stuptd affair of rating records is that these prudish par- ents will sit and listen to the songs. finding to their sur- prise and dismay that the only really nasty stuff in music today is limited to punk and punk metal (Dead Kennedys, Venom. Slayer, etc.) , unless. like Prince. a warning label 18 already attached. • To·rate all rock albums is just plain silly. Where would the line be dr-awn? would it be only from the eighties on- ward? Would the rating system go all the way back to ElvIs Presley (that "sex maniac" who did several heart- felt rellgious recordings)? If that happens, what are they going to rate such lewd and lascivious songs as "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus." "In The Mood" and "My Heart Belongs To Daddy"? - From a group of people who grew up to various aspects of rock and roll and never garnered police records. com- mitte" murders or impregnated small blind children, the staterrtent is to leave rock albums alone and allow people to decide for themselves what they personally want to lis- ten to,' If anything. records should be rated on qualt- ty...and if that's the case. wholesome folks like the Os- mond Brothers and Barry Manilow would never survive. c Jennie Tu.nkieicz Editor Bob KlesUng Campus News Editor Karl Dlxon·· COmmunity News Editor Jim Nelbaur···..............•............................

Luchak graduated with honors from Parkside with a degree in Anthropology in May and received the Chancellor's award. He also received a full tuition gradu- ate scholarship to Southern Methodist University, where he will work towards a de- gree in Medical Anthropol- ogy. Luckak's adventuTe began when he won a Fulbright Scholarship to Sri Lanka to work as an anthropologist. Florence Shipek, anth.ropol- ogy professor, received the following letter Irom. her [or- mer student, which describes his perceptions and expert- ences of his travels. Dear Florence: I have traveled 16,000 miles and have so far been in five countries. I have seen the castles of England. the oil fields of Bahrain, the desert of the United Arab Emirates, the temples of India and the beautiful sunsets on the Indi- an Ocean off the coast of Sri Lanka. Because the world is so complex. a contrasting ugliness exists for every item of beauty. I love Sri Lanka. The Pore tugese named it the island of Serendib , which is the Portu- gese word derived from "ser- endipity;" as the word ex- presses, it is a land of happy surprises. The people here. for the most part, are the nic- est and kindest people I have ever encountered. The veg- etation and climate are beau- tiful, as are the old Dutch and Portugese estates. I am uns- ure yet how effective I am as an anthropologist. but my networking skills have me liv- ing in the home of the third wealthiest man in Sri Lanka and a job interview with the program director for UNI- CEF. While I am happy here doing my work, I am not blind to the suffering and stu- pidity around me, Americans. are spoiled, selfish brats who bitch and complain about everything.
