Well, no more struggling. Keeping in step with other universities, Parkside is replacing its card catalog with the LS2000 Online Computerized Catalog. The Online Catalog is a computerized automatic catalog containing all materials the card catalog contains and much more. "The LS2000 is not only easy and fun to operate, it will save you a lot of time," said Judith Pry or, acting head of public service. "You will receive more information through the LS2000 than you would from the card catalog." Inside...

Learning how to operate the LS2000 Online Catalog should be no problem. Eight workshops are planned for the month of September to aid and give students the opportunity to operate the LS2000. The library aides said they are very excited about this new system and will be more than happy to help any student in need. A sign-up sheet for the classes can be found at the Reference desk. The LS2000 can be found on all floors, along with instructions on its operation. Having the LS2000 on all floors is another advantage for the students. "If you wrote down a wrong number, you don't have to run downstairs to the main floor (card catalog); you can Photo by Kelly McKlssick LS2000 Online Computerized Catalog assists students with inquiring minds. use the LS2000 on the floor you're on," said Plyor. The success of the LS2000 will be determined durin this fall semester, as student and faculty take advantage c the benefits it offers. "That really hurt, that my region, my state, would vote against the constitution when I was one of its primary authors." -Adrian Serrano Computerized card catalog is "user friendly" USSA conference yields United Council pullout by Amy H. Ritter News Editor United Council, the state lobbying organization with which Parkside is affiliated, has withdrawn from the United States Student Association, its national lobbying organization, after a USSA conference where tempers flared, voices were raised, insults were thrown and UC President Adrian Serrano cried. During an Aug. 7-12 USSA conference in Madison, arguments began when delegates from Milwaukee and Madison brought up an amendment to the newly, created USSA constitution pushing affirmative action. Shouting and namecalling resulted. "What we found when we presented this for discussion," said Parkside Student Government Association President Alex Pettit, "was that this was not an allowable topic for debate. It was snowballed by individuals higher in this organization who should not have been behaving in this manner." "A lot of mistakes were made on both sides," said Serrano, a former PSGA president. "The proposal on affirmative action that was pushed by Milwaukee and Madison wasn't thought through and was presented badly." He added that the response offering their proposal at the last minute, almost secretly, amde them look as if their intent was questionable. The constitution passed almost unanimously, Serrano said, in every delegation except Illinois and Wisconsin. "That really hurt, that my region, my state, would vote against the constitution when I was one of its primary authors. "It was a rough week for me, it was an emotional time." Two weeks later, during Friday and Saturday's (Aug. 28-29) UC meeting, members voted to withdraw from USSA. The general assembly vote to pull out was 28-20-4, and the vote of the leaders was approximately 28-3, said Pettit. Serrano emphasized that as one of three authors of the new constitution, he had been keeping UC leaders posted on its progress, and had received no complaints over the past year. "It was as if they came to the conference and said 'We've got to change something - or else we'll have nothing to do here." UC leaders had had an opportunity to offer changes on the constitution, Serrano said, but missing the deadline and Among the Parkside delegation, Sue Walborn voted yes; Pettit, Kevin Zirkelbach and Stephanie Tatem voted no; and PSGA vice president Sandra Villarreal abstained. Pettit said that at the meeting, held in River Falls, "tempers were still very hot. "If we were going to pull out, it should be a very levelheaded type of decision. It should be made with as many facts as can be assembled at United Council president Adrian Serrano that time. "Personally, my attitude is yes, the Congress is a shambles, and according to the information we've received, it's been a shambles for years." Serrano and Pettit pointed out that the motion to withdraw was made by a delegate from Whitewater, who had not attended the USSA conference, but fed on the negative attitudes of the other delegates. Pettit said UC's options now are: to rejoin USSA as it is; to rejoin USSA with changes; to join another national student lobbying group such as National Student Roundtable; or to remain independent, using UC as a national as well as a state lobbying organization. of the USSA leaders was not appropriate. "Things were really bad, and I was caught in the middle," he said. perspectives our view Numbers not the only game in town It seems as though numbers are the name of the game these days. It is certanly the case with higher education, where numbers are significant for both students and administrators. If the number of students attending Parkside increases. budgets become more abundant, and. important to students, the segregated university fee will remain stable. In recent years, the Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC) has had to deal with shortfalls due to a decrease in actual versus projected enrollment. The bottom line is the bottom line: Students at Parkside mean dollars for everyone. During the summer, Parkside held its third annual orientation program, and by all reports this was the best one so far. There were nine orientation sessions during which more than 650 new students had the opportunity to learn about Parkside and to learn about their responsibilities as students here. Orientation served both as a vehicle to teach these students the tools to be more successful as students and as an opportunity for the new students to meet one another and feel more a part of the university. Orientation was an expensive venture on the part of the university, yet it illustrates Parkside's commitment to the retention of students. These 650 students have had the opportunity to meet advisers, faculty members, student services employees and other students. They have had the chance to take a tour of the complex and figure out where Molinaro Hall is and that they must have a parking permit. They haven't had to run around to find an adviser to sign the advising card because the orientation program included an advising session. These students have the best chance for survival of their freshman year than any other freshman who have ever attended Parkside. There was much more than mere dollars involved in orientation: the time and energy of countless students, staff, faculty and administrators was priceless. Vacation shedules were changed and weekend trips were cancelled in order to accomodate the orientation schedule. These things were done with smiling faces and in the spirit of teamwork that is always necessary to see a project through to fruition. When the dust has finally settled in the registrar's office and the enrollment count has been tallied for the fall semester, it may very well be that our numbers will be down from the projected figures. There are two very good reasons that Chancellor Kaplan has cited for this decrease. The first, and most obvious, is that we have tightened our admission standards. No longer is Parkside the "if-Ican't- get-in-anywhere-else" university. We have several excellent programs here, and it is foolish to accept students whom we know at the outset will not be successful. Secondly, due to the economic upturn in the Racine- Kenosha area, many non-traditional students have returned to the work force to recoup some of the financial losses of the recent past. We feel these students will return to Parkside when their family finances have stabilized. For Ihose of you who were asked but were too busy, don't complain about our lack of numbers or our budget cuts. You have not become part of the proposed solution, but remain part of the problem. 2 Thursday, September 3, 1987 Ex-editor expresses pride To the Editor: Last year, under my direction, the Ranger enjoyed one of its most controversial, colorful years. Few who read the paper those nine months are likely to forget the cold shoulder students, this one included, gave Tommy Thompson when he crashed Chancellor Kaplan's inaugural gala; or the controversy generated by this paper's endorsement of candidates for PSGA's executive elections; or some students' attempt to void those executive elections for rule infractions. Or, ahem, the infamous masturbation article. But old news is old news, and the real reason for this letter isn't for me to wax nostalgic; it's for me to wax prideful. That's because even as we were being colorful and controversial last year, we still found time to place five of our staff with "real" newspapers in the Racine-Kenosha area. And for a school without a journalism program, that's not just damn good, that's damn remarkable. Jennie Tunkieicz, a fiveyear Ranger veteran, heads the list of t he accomplished. A two-time editor-in-chief and the extremely tough act I had to follow, Jennie wasted no time landing a part-time reporting job with the Kenosha News, starting there soon after she finished her communication degree at Parkside. Another communication graduate, Kim Kranich, now works with The Communicator News, a Racine weekly. Kim, who last year served as both news and feature editor, is a committed, capable writer who is certain to excel with that publication. Kim worked with the Ranger for three years. As for myself, a 1986 English graduate who returned last year to be Ranger editor, I'm working as a full-time temporary general assignment reporter with the Racine Journal-Times. Technically, the job runs out Nov. 20, when the woman I'm sitting in for, who's on maternity leave, returns. I'm hoping, however, to be there much longer, since a fulltime, full-term opening is being created in January. I worked two years for the Ranger, and I miss it and everyone very much. Still with the Ranger, and still with the papers that hired them on as summer interns, are this year's news editors: Kelly McKissick and Amy Ritter. Kelly spent the summer working as a reporter/photographer with the Shoreline Leader, a Racine weekly. An articulate, poised writer who displayed more talent last year than any freshman should be allowed to have, Kelly impressed the Leader brass so much that they invited her back during the school year on a part-time continued on page 15 EDITORIAL STAFF Jenny Carr Editor Kelly McKissick News Editor Amy H.

In Los Angeles, 594,000 students are preparing to become teachers. However, about 9,300 applicants are already vying for the 2,500 available jobs. In Houston, applicants outnumber positions by nearly five to one. In Philadelphia, the ratio jumps to forty to one. In St. Louis, applicants have at least a one in seven chance of obtaining a position. Even through there is an excess of teachers in these cities, there are still shortages in bilingual education, special education, math and some science. For those really in need of a teaching position, New York seems to be the hot spot. The nation's largest school system hires about 4,000 new teachers each year, with year-round recruiting at thirty area colleges. War against illiteracy The State Vocational School System will be starting a campaign to fight illiteracy soon, reported the Wisconsin State Journal. John Coughlin, a state board member, said there are 525,000 people in Wisconsin over 18 who have not completed ninth grade. Group involvement numbers 50,000 per year in basic skills and adult education, and they feel the vocational schools should take a more direct role in fighting illiteracy. The group plans to approach Wisconsin foundations to start three- to five-year pilot programs. State Vocational School Director Robert Sorenson said UW President Robert Shaw and State School Superintendent Herbert Grover have agreed the system should lead the attack against the growing illiteracy rate in Wisconsin. Phy ed requirements cut Wisconsin school districts may lower physical education requirements if the State Department of Public Instruction has its way, reported the Capital Times. The recommended change is a result of a review of 1973 standards that required daily physical education for school children in kindergarten through sixth grades. The old standards required physical education classes daily; the new standards will reduce that to three times per week. Space limitations in some elementary schools have caused the recommendation, but the DPI will not be asking every grade school in the state to lower class frequency. DPI's robert Gomoll said "We continue to recommend daily physical education. Space and scheduling are the two primary reasons for this amendment. Associate dean moves to IUS Peter Hoff Peter S.

The annual awards were presented at the university's convocation ceremony Aug. 31. Convocation traditionally opens the new academic year, which began Sept. 2. Associate professor of mathematics Thomas Fournelle and English lecturer Pamela Pierce were winners of the Stella C. Gray/Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Award. Alma Renish, science lecturer, won the Academic Staff Distinguished Service Award, and Mary Lou France, student status examiner in the Admissions Office, won the Classified Staff Distinguished Service Award, presented this year for the first time. Award winners received $500 each. Fournelle, who joined Parkside in 1983, holds a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. His research into abstract algebraic structures has been supported by a $33,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Fournelle was described by one of his students as "creative, energetic, and enthusiastic, a priceless educator." Another said "he explained even the most complex principles in a vocabulary that enabled us all to understand and to learn." Pierce joined Parkside in 1983 and holds a Masters degree in English language and Mary Lou France literature, with a secondaryschool teaching certificate, from Eastern Michigan University. She teaches numerous writing courses, among them introductory composition courses that require "much time, effort, patience and enthusiasm on the part of the teacher," according to a faculty member who nominated her for the award. "Pamela's scores on teaching evaluation forms are, to put it simply, extraordinary," the faculty member said. "She has received the highest possible merit rating from the divisional personnel each of her first two years. This recognition is virtually unprecedented." Renish, who joined Parkside in 1970 and holds a Masters degree in biology from Marquette University, teaches biological sciences as well as computer science courses.

Renish also has been active in the communities, as a guest lecturer in area schools, a chaperone for field trips on ecology and a volunteer naturalist at Racine's YWCA River Bend Nature Center, among other activities. France was hired in 1965 as secretary to Dean Albert E. May at the former UW-Racine Center which, along with a similar Center in Kenosha, was a precursor to Parkside. When Parkside opened in 1968, France assumed an equivalent position as dean's secretary and, in 1977, joined Alma Renish the Admissions Office as student status examiner, her present post. She is responsible for all clerical work involved in admitting students. When the university adopted stringent admission standards last year, France assisted in the design and implementation of an efficient system of transferring information from high school transcripts to computer data banks, streamlining the admissions process. She has served as president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees' Local 2180 at Parkside and has been active in a number of causes, including the women's movement. France's late husband, Parkside psychology professor William R. Morrow, was a co-founder of the Racine /Kenosha Central America Solidarity Coalition. France is a member of that group.

Twenty-eight women entered this year's competition, making the task of selecting a queen more difficult than last year, when 16 women competed. Ten semi-finalists were selected in the first round of cuts Aug. 6 through an interview session held at Central High School in Wilmot. The next cut was made Aug. 11, the day before the Fair began, to five finalists. From these, the queen and first-runner up would be chosen, and the remaining three would serve as the queen's court. The five finalists were Judy Arbet, Debby Lasco, Kristen Jackson, Malena Matthews and Maria Scheckel. Two hours before the crowning of the Queen on Thursday, Aug. 13, the finalists and judges sat through a tense dinner, the competitors' last chance to make a good impression. "I think all of us were nervous," said the ultimate winner. "I wasn't thinking about food or anything, I didn't even know what to think. We were all sitting in formals trying to eat steak. It was an experience." Soon after arriving back at the fair, the contestants took their places on stage awaiting the final results. Lasco, a former Parkside student was selected as first runner-up. And then, a surprised Judy Arbet, a Parkside junior in the business management program, was crowned 1987 Kenosha County Fair Queen. "I feel kind of like an underdog in winning," Arbet said, "because so many qualified contestants competed." The role of Queen has been a natural progression for Arbet because "I have been active in the 4-H competitions since I was nine years old. I always like the county fair because I was always doing something every day," she said. Arbet, as an involved Queen, said she would like to have seen the Combine Demolition Derby, which created much excitement as the first event of its kind in this area, but it was held at the same time as her coronation. "I stayed at the fair all five days (Aug. 12-16) through the rain," Arbet said. The Queen continued orr page 6 RANGER Thursday, September 3,1987 5 Students are greeted during Welcome Week The beginning of a new school year is a time when many students must leave their summer jobs and continue the pursuit of their studies at Parkside. Some students will not leave their jobs, but will merely add the study schedule to their already heavy loads. At Parkside, this time of year signals the beginning of a long-standing tradition - Welcome Week. This year's theme for Welcome Week is "In the Beginning." This theme indicates that for many of our students, this is the beginning of a new way of life. The activities office has worked hard to ensure a good time is had by all students who participate in the week's activities. Those of us who have been om campus this week have seen the week's activities begin with a picnic on Monday. Tuesday there was recreation free-for-all in the Rec Center. Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. there was a student activities fair. This Poli Sci Internships are offered The Public Service Internship Program (PSIP) has fall 1987 semester openings for students who wish to earn political science credits in local, state, or national agencies.

Takata listen to Sheila Baskln speak about gangs. by Amy H. Hitter News Editor Assistant Sociology Professor Susan R. Takata and her league of 13 Parkside student researchers on August 24 presented preliminary findings of an eight month study of Kenosha youth gangs to the Mayor's Task Force on Youth Gangs. The study, which began in January, sought to create a picture of the gang situation in Kenosha based on agency records, interviews with persons who work with gangs and interviews with former gang members. Its objective was to provide the Task Force with a report by which they could make recommendations to the Kenosha City Council and to provide an educational opportunity in sociological research for the students involved. Preliminary findings of the research were presented by students Sheila Baskin, Racine, and Wanda Leiting, Kenosha. The Parkside study differerd from a parallel study by the Task Force in its evaluation of the problem of gangs in Kenosha. The Task Force study, presented by chairman Gregg N. Guttormsen, said, "At this time, it is believed that a problem does exist within the community with regard to street gangs." In the Parkside study, interviews with task force members, juvenile justice personnel and community leaders indicated that the ex- HOURS Recreation Center Mon.-Thur. 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday 9 a.m.-Midnight Saturday 9 a.m.-Midnight Sunday Noon-10 p.m. istence of gangs may not be a problem. "A number of the interviews indicate that the gang problem in Kenosha is minimal and controllable," the report read, "and there is some debate as to whether or not the problem is getting better or worse." But Takata said it is too early in the research process to draw conclusions. "What we are trying to do is share the initial findings," she said after the meeting. "I'm not going to make any kind of concluding remarks or bind it all together. I need more time with the data." Gang interviews in the Parkside study produced tentative conclusions that gang members join gangs to make money through criminal activities, in reaction to family problems, or due to lack of alternative activities. The existence of six gangs in Kenosha (the Disciples, the Union Square Mon.-Thurs. 10:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Fri. 10:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Sat. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Latin Kings, the Vikings, the Vice Lords, the KKK and the White Opals) was verified through interviews. Kenosha gang members describe their organizations as hierarchical, although not as well organized as Chicago gangs. The interviewed gang members also said more community activities, such as sports organizations and events, would be beneficial. More jobs are also desired. Recommendations by the study suggest more community centers for youth, more resource sharing among agencies, more counseling in general, more concerted efforts to involve the entire community in the gang problem, more jobs and employment training, and the need to develop long-range delinquency prevention programs.

The project was funded by a grant of $6,360 from the task force, and $13,103 in services and expenses from Parkside. Students involved received credit in behavior science. Besides Baskin and Leiting, the Kenosha Gang Project Research Team members were: Pat Baird, Racine; John Fisher, Burlington; Lynda Jackson, Racine; Dae Kim, Kenosha; Marge Martin, Kansasville; Todd Nienhaus, Racine; Kevin Polheber, Twin Lakes; Robert Rettammel, Racine; Randy Spiegelhoff, Burlington; Kay Wolferstetter, Kenosha; and Franz Zeisberger, Racine. In the Kenosha study, the group must rely upon agency records, which have yielded incomplete statistical resuls in several areas at this point. "We're taking what the agencies identify and not what we identify," Takata said. "So we're sort of at the mercy of agency records. I think we need to keep that in perspective in terms of what the study is saying. It's what agency records are reflecting." By the end of September, Takata said, firm conclusions will be drawn. * • r * PANGEA Judy Arbet Queen named continued from page 4 and her court were in the Sunday parade, handed out ribbons during the 4-H competitions, and helped the younger 4-H competitors prepare their prized possessions. "I had a lot of fun and met hundreds of people," said Arbet. "It's odd being treated like a Queen - being given free food and drinks in many places I went. I wasn't expecting that." The Queen has duties throughout the year, appearing in local parades, and competing in the Fairest of Fairs competition in January. The 1986 Kenosha County Fair Queen, Lisa Ann Guckenberger, was first runner-up in the state competition. Arbet's helpful pleasant attitude has already been noticed by Assistant Chancellor G.

Hitter News Editor The possibility of Parkside being annexed by the city of Kenosha (becoming part of the city) is currently under consideration by Kenosha's City Council. Research is underway to determine the benefits to the city and to the university before a decision is made. "The city is exploring the costs and benefits of annexation," said Chancellor Sheila Kaplan. "We have not received any formal request from Kenosha to consider annexation, so there's nothing official on the table." Benefits to Parkside, if annexed, would be in the form of increased services, Kaplan said. City police protection would be offered as backup to campus security, where the Sheriff's department is now available; full-time City of Kenosha fire protection would be offered, replacing the Town of Somers' volunteer fire department's duties; and sanitation responsibilities would possibly be taken over by the city, instead of the current private contractor removal. Parkside currently spends $12,000 per year to have waste removed. Parkside is a state-owned facility, and annexation could mean state funds for the city to compensate for services provided. "It would more or less solidify the establishment of a northside fire station," said Paul Raddatz, Kenosha City Council President, referring to an issue that has been debated in the council for some time now. "I was hoping we would annex Parkside," he said. Ray Forgianni, Director of City Development, in a July memo to Kenosha Mayor Eugene Dorff, said that the process of annexation could be initiated by the publication of a "Notice of Intent to Circulate an Annexation Petition." The petition must be signed by a majority of the electors living in the area, and the owners of at least one-half the land. Then, said Forgianni, a referendum can be called. If no referendum is petitioned or if one is passed, the city may pass an annexation ordinance. The procedure becomes complicated in consideration of the Board of Regents as the owners of Parkside, and the students as the electors. Forgianni warned that annexation could become a student political issue and be defeated in a referendum. The other alternative, he said, would be by an act of the Wisconsin state legislature moving Parkside into the city of Kenosha. Kaplan said that a request to be annexed would originate with Parkside's Administration, as the UW Board of Regents, who govern Parkside, consider this a local matter. Dorff said he will take no action to initiate annexation, Travel Study Program offered Travel the world with San Jose State University Travel Study programs in 1988 for professionally-guided experiences in the culture, language, history, wildlife and other aspects of countries from Australia to Zanzibar.

"I'm leaving the decision to the council," he said. "At the present time, the annexation process is in limbo. I will take no stand for or against it." A concern of both Dorff and Raddatz is how the Town of Somers would react to annexation. "I don't want the city of Kenosha getting into a turf battle with Somers," Dorff said. "Things are so upbeat throughout the county right now, I don't want a conflict. If there was an agreement between Somers and the city of Kenosha (to annex Parkside), I would agree." David D. Holtze, Town of Somers chairman, said that the town board has taken no stand on the issue. "I'm not in favor of the city taking any more land than necessary," he said. Holtze said that a 1974 agreement between Kenosha and Somers defined which land in Somers may someday become part of the city, and which land will always belong to Somers. Parkside is defined as an area that may become part of Kenosha. "There seems to be some economic value for the city," Holtze said, "but the state is notorious for holding out carrots, and when you take the carrot, they pull away the rest of the carrots, and you end up feeding the animal yourself." The Town of Somers receives $4,000 per year from Parkside for services rendered, Holtze said. The city of Kenosha is expecting to receive between $150,000 and $360,000 from the state if annexation is successful, he said. Dorff cited similar figures.

RANGER gtei/e Erwin Residence director Thursday, September 3,1987 9 by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor With the on-campus housing program starting its second year, there will be many changes t aking place. One of the major changes is a new director. Steve Erwin took over the job of Director of Residence Life on June 1, replacing Diane Schellinger. After receiving an undergraduate degree in theater, Erwin went into education quite by accident. "I ended up getting a graduate assistantship in this field. I didn't really know what I was going to do when I got into it. Housing was the furthest thing from my mind. At that time, it seemed more glamorous to be in admissions or financial aids." Erwin received a Masters degree in Educational Psychology in 1984 from Eastern Illinois University. He began his career in the fall of 1984 at UW-Stevens Point as a Hall Director and worked on that campus for three years • ''"^opportunity to become the Director of Residence Life and the broader base of responsibility for the overall operation of the program " were what attracted Erwin to the Parkside campus. Erwin accepted the job here because I was ready to move up out of an entry-level position, and this was an opportunity to stay in the UW system." Erwin seems to have a strong sense of where he wants to take the housing program this year. First of all, he would like to get a stronger Hall Council established. He would like to break it into smaller groups, where each house would have a council over which the Resident Advisor (RA) would advise, and from that group a representative would be sent to the overall Hall Council. Erwin would also like to shift the focus of the housing office to just housing issues, and he would like a separate desk area for other student housing needs. wants student camaraderie Steve Erwin One of his major challenges will be in promoting a community atmosphere among everyone who lives on campus. "With so many demands on a student's time," he said, "when there is some free time, the students want to be alone, and not always involved in something. There's a balance somewhere. When we present a program, we'll do our best with planning and promoting it, and beyond that it's really the student's choice on whether he or she will participate or not." Erwin plans on using "theme programming" to promote a feeling of unity among students. "It will be important to present a real positive image right- away," Erwin said. "I think the real advantage toward residence hall living is the chance for the students to connect with each other." Erwin feels that the increase in the number of residents per apartment will be manageable. He feels students sharing apartments will need to come to an understanding about the common areas of the apartment. By talking these things out, Erwin feels that a lot of the problems will be alleviated. Finally, Erwin said he would like to promote an "open door" policy in the housing office. "I want to hear from the students about the problems that they might be having. We (the housing office) are doing our best for the students. We want to meet the needs of the students, their physical environment first of all, but I think we also have a responsibility to promote them personally and academically in terms of success. We're here to facilitate that and to help them in any way we can." At the same time, Erwin feels that the students here are adults and that they need to take responsibility for their own success, but he feels the housing staff is here to aid the students in other ways besides just a place to stay. "I want to turn this into more than just a place to sleep," he said. "I want it to be a place where students live and thrive, a place where students will grow personally and educationally." Resident advisors are here to by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor It's two o'clock in the morning; it's raining, and you come back to the residence halls, and you realize you don't have your keys with you. After an unsuccessful attempt at trying to wake up your roommates, you're wondering who will help you with your predicament? Fortunately for you, there are seven people, with the title of Resident Advisors, who are ready and willing to help you out. Not only will the RA's let you in out of the rain, they will also help you out with any problem you might have. Whether it's a school-related problem or a personal one, the RA's are there to listen and give advice. The RA's can be considered your campus resource if you just don't know who else to se®- If they don't know the answer, they will make sure that you get in contact with the right people to help you get your problem solved. Candy Isetts, the only reurning RA, is a senior majoring in psychology with students an elementary education certification. "The opportunity to meet interesting people, and the fact that the position is very rewarding," according to Isetts were the main reasons she returned to housing this year. One of the first year RA's, Michelle Herrem, a sophomore majoring in nursing stated, "I wanted to be more active in campus activities, and the chance to meet a lot of people are what inspired me to apply for the job." John Thierfelder, a senior majoring in biology said, "I wanted to be more involved in campus life." Tracey Conners, a junior majoring in history with a secondary education certification and a minor in speech commented, "I wanted to meet and work with people." Monica Hensen, a junior majoring in business with a concentration in accounting said, "I became a RA because I felt it would be a new and challenging experience." Jim Maastrict, a junior majoring in applied computer science stated that he wanted to have some decision making input in the housing activities. Terri DeRosier, a junior majoring in English decided that becoming a RA would not only be a challenge, but also a rewarding opportunity. "It gives me a chance to work one-on-one with the students and also with the staff of the housing office." The RA's, who went through a screening process in the spring of '87, also underwent a week's worth of training under the Director of Residence Life, Steve Erwin. For their duties, the RA's receive their room and board for the school year.

DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor If you haven't had the chance to take a tour of the Communication Arts Theater, you have missed out on one of the most interesting aspects of this campus. Not only is the backstage area a hidden wonderland, but its manager, Keith Harris, is one of Parkside's best kept secrets. You can never be sure what Harris will be doing when you start your exploration of the stage - one minute he'll be covered with paint, the next he'll be giving instructions on lighting design - but no matter how busy he might be, he will always take the time to talk about his wonderland with a sense of pride and admiration in his voice. According to Harris, he is One Year Ago September 4, 1986 New admissions policy instituted A new admissions policy which states that students must meet a set of necessary requirements before being allowed to attend Parkside was instituted. To be admitted to Parkside as a "standard admissions" student, one must place in the upper 50 percent of their high school class and have followed a particular pattern of courses throughout high school. responsible for "any group that uses the Communication Arts Theater space. I do anything from designing the lighting for them to just making sure there is a table and microphone set up." Harris also designs lighting and scenery in tandem with Skelly Warren, Assistant Professor of Dramatic Arts. "My degree is geared for design and stage, including sets, lights and costumes," he said. "I did very little work with costumes in grad school, but did more than my share of work with lights and scenery." Although Harris does not teach any classes here, he does work one-on-one with students. His contact comes mainly from his hiring of students to help design lighting and to design and build sets. "Most generally, I hire and From Students unable to meet these criteria are required to take the placement tests prior to applying for admission. If at this point, the student is able to place in English 100 and Math 015, and is reading at approximately a tenthgrade level, that student will be admitted as a "conditional admissions" student. Five Years Ago September 9,1982 YMCA housing provided The YMCA, in conjunction with the Parkside Housing Office, has agreed to open up its top three floors in an effort to \ Keith Harris supervise," he said. "The students get paid while learning. which I feel compliments both myself and the students." Harris' goals for Parkside's Communication Arts Theather include making the stage as much a lab space as possible. "My goal is to help the students learn where things go, and how things are used as quickly as possible." Harris has some larger goals in mind also. "I would like to make some changes in the lobby. I'd like to modernize it more." Support from the administration has been important to Harris. "I feel they've backed us. If there has been a need, I feel I've been listened to, which is one of the reasons I'm still here. "I'd like to see the Fine Arts program grow as far as majors and the number of people who get involved," he concluded. Harris not only works with the theater department, but he also works with the music and the art departments. Harris feels that by using the resources from those three departments and by using the lobby area of the theater he will draw more attention to those programs. "My dream is that when you leave through the exit, there will be posters hanging there for the entire semester announcing upcoming programs." Harris feels strongly that both physical ends of the campus need to work together. "Somehow we have to connect both major exits of this university to let everyone on campus know what's going on." the Ranger files accommodate those students who desire a place of residence for this school year. The building, which has been dubbed "Ranger Hall" on the lease agreement, marks the first type of dormitory living Parkside has been able to offer In the university's 13-year existence. The three floors total 85 single living quarters, with two Resident Assistants (RA's) in charge of each floor. Only students and their guests will be allowed to the top floors. The room agreements state that a student can rent a room at the YMCA from Sept. 1, 1982 until May 23, 1983 for a cost of $450 per semester, or a total of $900 for the school year, excluding a $120 escrow. A room with private bath costs $1080 for the year. Ten Years Ago September 7,1977 WLLC gets improvement grants The Council on Library Resources (CLR) has awarded $21,350 to Parkside for a selfstudy among library staff members. The study is directed toward improving the services and operations of the library system. In performing the study, the staff will utlize a draft manual resulting from procedures developed in a 1976 pilot project at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The UNC-C project was the first phase of the Council's Academic Library Program. In phase two, several universities - including Parkside - will be selected to work with the evolving model program.

Williams Minority Student Service director sets goals by Christina Lojeski Dr. Wayne R. Williams begins this semester at Parkside as the new director of minority student services. Williams, 42, is a Racine native and a 1963 graduate of Washington Park High School. He attended the UWExtension in Racine, and later received his bachelor's degree in linguistics and completed his Masters degree in African language and literature, both at UW-Madison. After completing his dissertation and research in Africa, he received his Ph.D. in linguistics from Indiana University. Williams was employed by the University of Washington- Seattle in African studies and linguistics as a lecturer in 1975 and was promoted to an assistant professor in 1976. In 1981 he was named director of the university's Afro-Ameriby Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor The final of many search and screen committees conducted in the student affairs area of campus has brought Parkside a new Director of Student Life. Steve McLaughlin, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Kansas- Lawrence, was selected by the search and screen committee for the director's position. McLaughlin's office will be responsible for the child care center, the student health services, the union and all areas of residential life and all student activities. Although McLaughlin has been on campus for only two weeks, he has jumped right in and started to get to know the people at Parkside. "I'm most impressed with the students and staff," McLaughlin said. "They are all very supportive and friendly." Dr. Wayne R. Williams can Studies Program. Williams has presented numerous papers at professional conferences and published magazine articles in scholarly publications. He is author and co-author of two book-length manuscripts being considered for publica- Steve McLaughlin In planning his first few months here at Parkside, McLaughlin said he will begin by associating names with faces and programs. "I will also be assessing all the programs to see how they can better serve all stution. Because most minority student services programs were initiated in the 60s, Williams explained that the program here is in its "embryonic stages," having been instituted in 1982. That fact, stated Williams, has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. "The disadvantage is that there is no program here that is already well-established, providing services to minorities. The advantage is that we can learn from the succeesses and failures of other programs. My goal is to make this one of the best programs in the United States," he explained. Presently, minority student services here has had a very low visibility, according to Williams. "Most of the students who come into the office now come in only if they desire to. I would like for minority students." Although it is too soon for any definite plans, McLaughlin said that he would like to get students to identify with campus life and to provide better services. "I would like to find out what the needs of the students are and the campus community in general," McLaughlin said. "I want to find out if there are ways to build or improve existing programs." Addressing the needs of the non-traditional students is one of McLaughlin's high priorities. "I want to assess the needs of the non-traditional students to see what we can do to meet those needs. "This is a beautiful campus, not only in the setting, but in the facilities themselves," McLaughlin said in closing. "I'm anxious to meet the students and I'm looking forward to working with all of them." dent services to attain a higher visibility, and begin assisting advisors in all conditional admissions," Williams commented. "I would also like to institute obtrusive advising, which would mean that we would provide continous academic and personal counseling to any minority students interested," Williams stated. "Additionally, I would like to establish a mentor system, in which successful minority students would be able to share some of their knowledge with others." He also plans to shed some of the myths he believes have become connected with minority student services throughout the public school systems. His background in that area consists of serving as a consultant to Seattle public schools, developing a model for multicultural and international education. He also served as a consultant to Portland public schools, developing an image-enhancement program for black high school students, and to the National Labor Relations Board in the Northwestern United States advising it on developing effective writing programs for minority employees. "Minority student services programs have been suffering from a bad image. The word 'minority' had come to imply small, minuscule and inferior to the majority, when, in truth, minority students come from different cultural, socioeconomic backgrounds than the majority population," Williams explained. He plans to correct and to counter that public school training and provide services to remedial students as well as establishing an honors program. Williams also plans to gather information about how minorities are perceived here. He is chairing a committee that is looking into ways to establish ethnic studies on campus, to provide education about different ethnic groups of the United States. Also on this committee are professors Teresa Peck-McGovern and Robert Canary. "I want to see the majority population of t he campus educated about the history, culture and social problems of people of color in the United States," he explained. "I want to see minority student services here shaping the leaders and workers of the 21st century. I plan to empower minority students to go into the American society to become full partners and leaders in an increasingly global community," Williams concluded. by Sandy Leicht, R.N.

Skretvedt analyzes each of the duo's films, giving ample space to their weaker efforts as well as their timeless classics. Along with critical analyses which attempt to explain just why the duo's films work so well, Skretvedt includes interesting historical comments about each entry. Statistically the book eclipses all other studies, Skretvedt not only including complete info on each film, but also appendices listing supporting players and technical craftsman who helped make the Laurel and Hardy comedies so essential to American film. Prior to this tome, it was necessary to purchase at least a half dozen books on Laurel and Hardy in order to acquire so much information. Skretvedt says more in his 460-odd pages than the many other Laurel and Hardy studies combined, and also includes several nice illustrations (many never before published). JUMP CUT: HOLLYWOOD, POLITICS AND COUNTER CINEMA edited by Peter Steven (Praeger) As "Jump Cut," the newspaper, is the journalistic Bible of counterculture cinema, this compilation of articles is a unique and essential addition to libraries of cinema studies. The five sub-headings include "Hollywood: the Dominant Cinema," "Independent Filmmaking in North America," "Women's Counter Cinema," "Gay and Lesbian Cinema" and "Radical Third World Cinema." Under each of these five sub-hedings are five or six articles on that particular subject, all culled from issues of "Jump Cut" and featuring such fine film scholars as the late Charles Eckert, Julia Lesage, Richard Dyer and Tom Waugh among the writers. As all of these topics are key movements in today's cinema, "Jump Cut" is a highly recommended compilation of important articles on several aspects of motion pictures. CASHIERS DU CINEMA; THE 1960s edited by Jim Hillier (Harvard University Press) As with the previous compilation on the 50's, this collection of articles from the French cinema periodical is most interesting when one reads the re-evaluations of Hollywood. Contributions by Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Goddard, and other important names of the French cinema add depth and authenticity to this anthology. But one aspect of French criticism in regard to sixties Hollywood film is missing. It is one of the more notorious legends of cinema that Jerry Lewis is considered a comic genius in France, while American critics dismiss him as the banal equal of Pee Wee Herman. None of the very lengthy and in-depth analyses on Lewis that appeared in "Cashiers du Cinema" during the sixties are translated here. The book is still noteworthy for its articles on Hitchcock, Nicholas Ray, Howard Hawks, "King Kong," and several studies on the French New Wave methods spawned by many of t he writers here. REEL CHARACTERS by Jordan R, Young (Moonstone Press) This collection of interview pieces on old character performers from American films of the thirties and forties is a must for buffs. The supporting players added luster to a film industry that really could not have survived without them. Director-writer Huston was motion picture aiant by Jim Neibaur •A»^ n 1 .4 i inn. - ar. Feature Editor John Huston's death last Thursday night ends the legacy of one of the finest filmmakers of the American cinema. Nobody believed Huston would ever match his directorial debut, "The Maltese Falcon," but he went on to helm such fine creations as "The African Queen," "The Man Who Would Be King," and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," in which he directed his father, the late Walter Huston, to an Academy Award-winning performance as he did for his daughter, Angelica Huston, in the most recent "Prizzi's Honor." Huston's direction incorporated many diverse filmmaking styles, most notably the film noir of "The Maltese Falcon." However, aside from the mise-en-scene of the Huston canon, the director also paid close attention to character detail. For instance Humphrey Bogart's Fred C. Dobbs character in "Sierra Madre" embodies the American male's paranoia in postwar America - Dobb's unfounded suspicions about his fellow gold prospectors' paralleling the American male's reaction to the Communist scare. The last film Huston was involved with was directed by his son.

RANGER Thursday, September 3,1987 13 Movie Review "Dirty Dancing" uses new musical trends by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor We a re long past the glory years of the Hollywood musical, as the American cinema will never produce another "Singin' in the Rain." In "Dirty Dancing," Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey capably exhibit exciting dance moves while backed by the sort of narrative that passes for musical drama in today's American cinema. All of the predictable circumstances are here, from the young girl replacing the veteran when the latter is incapable of performing, to the nice girl's father being unable to understand the attractive bad boy she in infatuated with. The whole thing takes place at a family resort during the early sixties, with news events of the period popping up in casual conversation lest we forget what era we're in. Grey's character's pre-hippie liberalism is suppressed by her family's disturbing conservatism, and thus she feels alienated. She finds an escape through dancing with the bad boy who works at the resort, her Daddy doesn't approve, and so forth. But then in a musical, it is the musical sequences that deserve to have the greatest attention. The dance bits are all exceptionally well done, especially those that take place during the party sequences with a period rock and roll track thundering beneath. The filmmakers were careful in selecting the raunchiest and most timeless rockers from the post-Elvis pre-Beatle early sixties, staying away from the bland Beach Boy bubble gum that pervaded the airwaves during this period. Grey's character is nicknamed "Baby" by her family. Often the narrative is very weak with some laughably bad dialogue: "Can I have 200 dollars Daddy?" "Sure, Baby, I'll have it for you before dinner." The money turns out to be for a friend's abortion, this plan going awry when the friend almost dies during the procedure. Yet the film's attempts to dispel abortion don't come off totally within the framework of the already soggy narrative. Like ' 'Flashdance'' or "Footloose," "Dirty Dancing" comes alive in the musical sequences (with the exception of the two leads' ridiculous pantomime to Mickey and Sylvia's "Love is Strange" and the strange climactic dance which is backed for some reason by a discofied eighties beat). The narrative is merely written around the dance sequences in an attempt to exhibit some facile and disquieting social commentary. Patrick Swayze Selected Shorts CAN'T BUY ME LOVE The commercial critics have been very aggressive in their hatred for this film. I liked it. But, then, it has everything a commercial critic hates: youthful vitality, charm, a heavy anti-capitalist message, no flagrant titty-bouncing, et al. This is a youth comedy, and a rather typical one on the surface, however beneath the superficial story of a nerd renting a pretty cheerleader in o rder to obtain popularity, the filmmkaers deliver an underlying message that scorns capitalism and diehard efforts to be "one of the crowd." Unlike "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Soul Man," this film doesn't spend eighty-nine minutes presenting ugly stereotypes and then try presenting a positive message in the final two minutes. "Can't Buy Me Love" instead presents its message through the situations, which are harmlessly amusing. Some sermonizing towards the end of the film doesn't come off, and it's true that a film dircted toward a teenage audience couldn't truly deal with t he complexities of adolescence on an academic level, but "Can't Buy Me Love" still succeeds as lightweight entertainment. The filmmakers are also wise in using the original Beatle song under the opening and closing credits rather than a pallid remake by a wimpy New Wave never-was. Jim Neibaur BORN IN EAST L.A. Cheech without Chong is — well — Cheech, alone. In his first solo venture, which he wrote, directed, and stars in, Richard "Cheech" Marin does the Anglo guilt bit with a distracting comedy about an L.A.-born Hispanic American who is shuttled into Mexico when caught during an immmigration raid without his wallet. On this premise we have a series of comic vignettes, not unlike many Cheech and Chong films. Thus the film is a loosely episodic one whose parts don't always combine to make a logical whole. Some bits seem like they're from another movie. However, and this is crucial, there are several very positive aspects to "Born in East L.A." Cheech, his first time directing, proves adept at showcasing physical gags in the Mack Sennett tradition. His script, while a little forced in some places (Cheech is NOT a romantic character), does include several pointed messages about the Hispanic experience beneath the humor. And his performance is believable in all but the romantic sequences. Cheech trying to teach several non-Mexican immigrants how to act like stereotypical Foreign Film series continued from page 10 Scola.

FAMILY BUDGET INN 5005 Washington Ave. 637-7911 takes a perverse and rather repugnant turn here, especially since the apparent point of the film is to dispell rumors that all nerds are losers. However the filmmakers try proving their point by using the most obvious and juvenile bathroom humor as well as a strong dose of ugly sexism. In a film where the characters closely follow the offensive nerd stereotypes and then become mawkish in the end by making a speech on how "nerds are people too" (with Queen's "We are The Champions" playing in the background, no less), the only thing a discriminating filmgoer can do is shrug his or her Robert Carradine shoulders and forget this simple minded travesty as quickly as possible.

This album is a rocker and it is a fine showcase of Taylor's guitarwork (although he does get a little self-indulgent from time to time). Taylor co-produced this effort with former Sex Pistol by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor Amidst much ballyhoo, this past August 14 marked the tenth anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. In commemoration, RCA has released four welcome anthologies of his recorded work. THE COMPLETE SUN SESSIONS This is by far the most important anthology of the group, as it focuses on the purest and most influential music in the whole of Presley's massive output. This double album includes, for the first time, all of the songs Presley cut at Sam Phillips' studio just prior to having massive superstardom thrust upon him. Songs like "Mystery Train," "That's All Right Mama," and "Good Rockin' Tonight" are staples of a genre steeped in the blues, gospel, and R&B styles of Black artists who most heavily influenced Presley. THE NUMBER ONE HITS /THE TOP TEN HITS Both of these albums are essential, however the latter eclipses the former. "The Number One Hits" in- Short Cuts Steve Jones (who also cowrote all but one of the album's tunes with Taylor) and his influence is evident in the very upfront guitar sound that is on display. Taylor has assembled a crack band for the album eludes all of the Presley songs that hit the top of the charts. "The Top Ten Hits" is a double album that contains these songs and others that just missed the number one mhrk. While the former has the most important hits from "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," and "Heartbreak Hotel" to "Suspicious Minds," the latter incorporates more essential tracks the likes of "Return to Sender" and "I Need Your Love Tonight." These are the songs that put rock and roll on the map, opening the door for the great Black artists who had been shut out by segregated white radio for so many years, somebody finally realizing that Presley's work would have been inconceivable without them. The all-out rockers accost the listener with the same reckless abandon as they had some thirty years before, while the ballads re-emphasize the fact that Presley is the best singer the music has ever produced. THE MEMPHIS RECORD After nearly a decade of weak songs from bad movies, Presley seemed an anachronism eclipsed by the British invasion and Motown. But on a 1968 TV special he turned in the greatest performance of his career, a celebration of all that rock and roll has ever stood for. These 1969 Memphis sessions, cut immediately after the exhilarating TV special, show Presley catching up with musical trends that had seemed to have passed him by during the doldrums of the early mid-sixties. There are the obligatory ballads along with some tough blues and all-out rockers which rank with his best work. These sessions are in many ways as important as those at Sun, even if only to prove that Presley was not just a star of cheap beach films during the sixties. All of these anthologies must be included in any comprehensive record collection. They prove once and for all that despite the bad films, drug and weight problems, pretentious Las Vegas appearances, and a host of bad jokes and ridiculous idol worshippers, Elvis Presley is still the most significant and talented rock and roll performer of them all.

RACINE which includes Mickey Curry on drums, Patrick O'Hearn (ex-Missing Person and current new age star) on bass and Steve Jones on rhythm guitar. What Taylor needed to do in order to make the album an unquestionable success was to get away from the overwhelming keyboard dominance displayed in Duran Duran, but keys play an important factor on this record and they basically weaken its impact. Lyrically and vocally Taylor still has a lot of room for maturity, but he is a fine instrumentalist and his talents are quite evident on "Thunder," especially on tracks like "I Might Lie" and "Don't Let Me Die Young" which make this a release worthy of purchase. Andy Taylor has come a long way from ultra wimp to rocker, but he still needs to move toward a harsher edge both musically and if he does his next release should be a scorcher. Bemie Doll SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE Warren Zevon (Virgin) With "Sentimental Hygiene," his first album of new music in five years. Warren Zevon has turned out his finest work since 1978's critically acclaimed "Excitable Boy." Zevon showcases a lyrical depth that most songwriters only dream of. As usual with Zevon, his songs cover a diverse range of subjects — from his own battle with alcoholism ("Detox Mansion") to media accuracy ("Trouble Waiting to Happen"). Perhaps the strongest song on the album is "Boom Boom Mancini," which begins as a tribute to boxer Ray Mancini, but quickly emerges as a strong indictment of the sport of boxing. Also quite powerful is "Leave My Monkey Alone," co-produced by George Clinton, a song about race relations in Africa, satirically told from the point of view of white colonialists. Musically, 4' Sentimental Hygiene" also rises above much of the material being recorded today. Zevon has assembled an impressive group of guest stars which includes Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Don Henley, Tony Levin and R.E.M. members Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, who sound more impressive here than on many of the band's own releases. The musical styles range from straight-ahead rock to funk to Eastern Indian. Rick Luehr FAHRENHEIT Farrenheit (Warner Bros.) Out of the vast collage of new groups appearing on the music scene, usually producing rather mediocre material, comes some minor promise. Farrenheit, who opened for Boston at four sold-out Alpine Valley concerts recently, could generate some sparks continued on page 15 RANGER Thursday, September 3,1987 15 Short Cuts continued provided they are allowed airplay. Their music on this debut is a typical hybrid of blues and rock and roll. "Lost in Loveland," the first and best cut, opens the door with an energy that is not quite maintained throughout the album. It is a good example of where Top 40 should be. "Fool in Love" and "New Days" are Huey Lewis-esque pop, while "Shine" is simply a waste of t ime. The less thrilling cuts could perhaps be helped a bit by prominent guitar work. Boisterous guitar solos have saved many lackluster songs. But then, perfection can't be expected from a group whose drummer is named Muzz. Patti Nitz THE ICICLE WORKS IF YOU WANT TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY 8ING HIS SONG (Beggars Banquet) One of the original one-hit wonders of the English New Wave scene has returned with a sound reminiscent of late 60's biker rock. This LP is a collection of Selected short continued on page 13 BACK TO THE BEACH This nightmarish bit of nostalgia fortunately refuses to take itself seriously Annette Funicello has cupboards filled with jars of Skippy peanut butter, Bob Denver and Alan Hale do their turn as Gilligan and Skipper, Jerry "Beaver" Mathers and Tony "Wally" Dow do a sendup of Siskel and Ebert, Connie Stevens vies for Frankie Avalon's body, and surf music relic Dick Dale duets with Stevie Ray Vaughn. During the early-to-mid sixties, Beach movies were the absolute in wholesome trendiness much like Top 40 radio is today. "Back to the Beach" says what most of us always felt. Jim Neibaur Letter songs on such diverse topics as girls, love, girls that they want to meet, love, girls they haven't met, love, girls they'll never get to meet, love, and girls. Fortunately this lack of thematic material has no effect upon the music - this band rocks. When Icicle Works takes on a song of a different nature, the ballad about the music industry, "Up Here In The North Of England," they have a melodic, hypnotic style which enraptures the listener. The Icicle Works takes the rich bass vocals of Robert McNabb, combines it with powerful guitar, drums and keyboard and creates hard rock with a soul. The production wizardry of Ian (Echo and The Bunneymen) Browdie has enabled this band to find a musical direction that works. >r The Icicle Works of today are a mutant breed of Springsteen, Lou Reed, and U2. Typical rock that works. Tyson Wilda continued from pa ge 2 basis. Smart people. Similarly, Amy Ritter will continue reporting for the Kenosha News, who know a gem or a reporter when they employ one.

MILLER HIGH LIFE, MILLER LITE ON TAP AT THE UNION SQUARE Distributed by C.J.W., Inc., 2117-81st St., 552-7273 Good luck Ranger athletes from the sports staff Ranger's 1987 fall sports preview by Robb Luehr Once again, the fall semester is upon us and that means 4t's time once again for this season's sports previews. This week we look at soccer and women's tennis. Soccer Head coach Rick Kilps lost four starters from last year's 13-8-1 team but has high hopes for the coming year. "We're working hard in practice and I'm optimistic we'll have a good season," Kilps said. Gone from last year's squad are seniors Wayne Adema, Carlos Gil, Jeff Fische and Patrick Bayle, who used up their eligibility. In addition, the leading goal scorer from last year, freshman Sam Kongla, is likely to be ineligible for the coming season. These five players accounted for half of the team's 68 goals scored last year. Returnees include senior Ed Paprocki, who is presently injured, juniors Greg Peters, who had nine goals; Greg Winter, Mike Baldwin, Mickey Dukic and Rocky Donovan and sophomores Jim Chomko, Mike Lee, Claudio Aranguiz and Brian Maher. At the goalkeeper position, juniors Stan Anderson and Mark Litton, who split time evenly in the nets last year, both return, as does reserve team goalie Don Brubor. Anderson and Litton were virtually equal statistically in 1986. The Rangers have a lot of work to do, but Kilps is prepared for the challenge. "We have the nucleus and the potential to have a good season," said Kilps, "but nucleus and potential are words that need to be realized with :tthe end result. All of that is not very good if we don't do our work." The Rangers need to be at their best, considering their schedule, which includes games with nine NCAA Division I teams. New to Parkside's schedule are the University of Dayton, Bradley University and Minnesota. Also on the docket are perennial foes Marquette, Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Green Bay, who are members, with Parkside, of t he Wisconsin Intercollegiate Soccer League. DePaul and Illinois-Chicago round out the Division I opponents. New NAIA foes include Judson Colelge, Lindenwood College and Harris-Stowe College. "This is one of the top (NCAA) Division II/NAIA schedules you can get, so we do have a challenge," said Kilps, "and I think our players are going to be ready for it. To go on as far as we want to do, we have to knock off the defending national champion (who is) in our area." Kilps is referring to Sangamon State, who beat the Rangers in the NAIA Area 5 final and went on to win the national title. "But why not - let's do it." The Rangers opened their season against Judson yesterday at home and will also be at home this Saturday against Dayton. Game time is 1:30 p.m. Tennis Women's tennis coach Wendy Miller is understandly excited about this fall's season. She has nine players trying out for the team and has added talent this year in Ann Althoff, a transfer from UW-Milwaukee and Stacy Stanich, a high school standout from Kenosha Tremper. The addition of Althoff and Stanich "will greatly improve our skill level," said Miller. "We're going to have considerably more depth than we've ever had. Before, we were strong in one of two or three positions, but now it looks like we'll be strong throughout." The team lost Kim Kranich, a top singles and doubles player, to graduation. Also gone is Jo Jo Brahmill. Returning to the Rangers are senior Amy Tropin, last year's number one singles and doubles player, junior Nancy O'Connell and sophomores Elizabeth Spalla and Laurie Henry. New faces, besides Althoff and Stanich, include Dorothy Dorow, a transfer from Stevens Point and Softball players Kathy Livesey and Kim Vanderbush. One consequence of a full complement of players is a tough battle for spots on the team, and Miller's squad is no exception. "We've had lots of nice competition among each other for the top six spots," she said. The number one singles position is between Tropin and Althoff, according to Miller. "I think it wil be a good year - I'm very excited," said Miller. "I think some teams are going to be surprised - we're a lot stronger than we've been in the past." The team's schedule has been increased from 11 to 17 matches and three tournaments and will include more state teams. "I didn't feel we were getting the adequate competition we needed in order to compete at the district level," Miller said. "We needed to play more state schools and play more matches. Playing against schools that play 20 to 30 matches a season, we really didn't have enough experience. "Our schedule is not overpowering, but it's competitive for us." The Rangers open their season at Ripon College tomorrow and will play in the Carthage Quadrangular on Saturday. Their home opener is on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 9 a.m. against Valparaiso. •i Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
