Picazo The ringing of a ceremonial bell began the "Freedom of the Press: Are There Limits? " program Thursday, Sept. 17 in the Communication Arts Theatre at 3 p.m. This was to signify the exact moment, 200 years ago, that the signing of the Constitution took place. Dwayne G. Olsen, chairperson of the Kenosha-Racine Bicentennial Committee and chair of the teacher education department at Parkside, opened the program with that ringing and then turned the floor over to Chancellor Sheila Kaplan, who was the moderator. The four panelists were Thomas Reeves, professor of history, Charles Sykes, former editor, Milwaukee Magazine; Dwight Teeter Jr., professor of journalism, UW-Milwaukee; and Robert Wills, editor, Milwaukee Sentinel. Kaplan, in her opening comments, stated that the purpose of the program was to take one aspect of the Constitution and focus on what it means in everyday life. She also stated that the exercise of freedom of the press has never been more robust in this country, which is both thrilling and threatening. A greater concentration of ownership of the media was also cited by Kaplan, as being one of the contributing factors to why it is being pulled away from its primary goal of informing and educating the public. Kaplan introduced the panelists and invited them to make their opening comments after which she moderated an exchange between them and the audience. Teeter spoke first and commented on his dealings with other journalists. He said a Polish journalist pointed out to him that not only did we have freedom of speech but freedom after speech. This is an important distinction he feels we too often take for granted. He pointed out that most media organizations in this country do their best to be fair, but part of the price that we pay for living in such a free society is the risk that we take in stepping into the public's eye and perhaps getting "exposed". Teeter gave Gary Hart's situation as an example. And although the press has been known to go too far, what would our society be like if we had nobody there to watch over the actions of our national leaders? Teeter answered his own question by stating, "there are numerous countries, in the world, where the politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press, while there is no country in the world where the press has seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians." The next speaker was Reeves. The main emphasis of his presentation was politics and the press. He also touched upon the Gary Hart issue and how many journalists were degraded by the 4 4 sensationalist" way the whole issue was handled. Inside... Jewish New Year page 3 "Well Day" Scheduled page 5 "Bad" evaluation page 6 Learning Assistance page 8 Danish soccer players page 15 Prof. Tom Reeves Reeves contrasted this view with the view that the character of the politician was paramount, because, if his wife can't trust him, why should the public be expected to trust him with the security of the nation? Reeves went on to examine the image of the late President John F. Kennedy. He had nothing but praise for the journalists who were the first group of people to begin to examine the true Kennedy life. "They (journalists) are responsible for much valuable research that we now depend upon when looking into the life of Kennedy," he said. It wasn't just the area of sexual activity that was exposed by these journalists, but physical stature, mental capabilities, and book production were all found to be credits or abilities he did not have or were fabricated in his name. Reeves tied his comments together by asking the'question: How far should the press be allowed to go? It was his belief that there should be no limit to the press, that the truth should be told, and if people don't want to know the truth, they won't buy the books. If there isn't the truth being uncovered, then we have somebody's fiction being taken as truth. To conclude his remarks, Reeves stated, "The quality of the evidence is all important and it is always the duty of the press to bring forth that truth unaffected by fear or ideology. The third, and most passionate of the speakers, Sykes, opened by commenting on his dismissal from Milwaukee Magazine by saying that he entered the job the way he left it, "fired with enthusiasm." The direction that Sykes took his presentation was toward an attack against the organized media coverage machine. He feels that the newspapers of America are fast moving out of the hands of professional journalists and into the hands of men who are something else. 4'Too often the personal feelings of a publisher or board member dictate what does or doesn't appear in print or on the air." Sykes said. "And the existence of a factual newspaperman filled with professional integrity is Homecoming queen and king sought Homecoming at Parkside will be held Oct. 8-11. The Homecoming Committee is planning a variety of events, but the most important to most students is the selection of the Homecoming king and queen. Nominations for the king and queen will be accepted in the Student Life office, Union 209, beginning immediately. Any student may be nominated for these positions. In the past, candidates were nominated by clubs and organizations, but this year the committee has opened the nominations up to the entire campus. - ro concourse from Monday, Oct. 5 until Thursday, Oct. 8 at 5 p.m. The king and queen will be crowned in a ceremony on Thursday evening at 7 p.m. in the Union cinema. Voting will be done by having each student show a current ID card and the name will be crossed off a master list. This way each student will have only one vote in each category. Voting for the candidates will take place on the Molina- The Ranger will take photographs of each candidate which will be on display at the voting place. Any questions concerning Homecoming should be directed to Diane Welsh, coordinator of student activities, Union 209. being replaced by a central figure in the background, ignorant to newspaper traditions, and heavily engaged in enterprises that have a way of colliding partially with what remain in the newspaper ideals. Sykes went over to the Milwaukee Magazine, in 1981, after being a reporter for the Milwaukee Journal. This was to be an experiment to see if the usual image of a magazine, lighter than a newspaper, could be broken. Sykes wanted a tough, independent, hardhitting product that was still entertaining. In 1983 the Milwaukee Magazine was purchased by Quadgraphics (a printing company). At that time he and the magazine were guaranteed their independence. A story was put together last year tMt looked Into the Medical College of Wisconsin. It was a long and very detailed piece that looked into whether we needed a second medical college in Wisconsin. As it turned out, a board of directors member, who was involved in fund raising for the new medical college, was the president of the parent company who owned the magazine. Sykes was fired for wanting to run the story and then it was pulled. He was told during his final minutes as editor that editorial independence is what the owner says it is, and that freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns the press. He felt that the limits that exist in American journalism are not affected from the outside but from within. This pressure is coming from the business departments and it is all too real a reminder that these bodies not only inform but must make money to stay alive. Wills was the last speaker of the program. Wills, editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel, sees the essence of American democracy as being wrapped up in the ability of the press to remain free and unaffected by big business. "In the end, freedom of the press is everybody's freedom," Wills said. "We have no rights greater than the rights of the public," he said, "and if the press didn't tell us, who would?" Wills has more confidence in the business end of producing a newspaper and that men and women of high professional standards will always be on the lookout for outside influences that could Bicentennial see page 5 perspectives Political science helps in drawing cartoons by Jenny Can- Editor The doodling of a child can sometimes become the career of an adult. As a child, Paul Berge drew cartoons, and since Sept. 22, 1976, Berge, 28, has been drawing cartoons for publication in the Ranger. Surprisingly, Berge did not receive his Bachelors degree in art but political science. "I attended college at St. Olaf in Minnesota and began as an English major, but after a few classes, I discovered that English was not meant to be my major," Berge recalled. He changed his major to political science and feels that knowing a lot about political history has helped with the ideas for his work. Berge has taken a few art classes, but claims that his ideas of what was considered good art work and the ideas of the professors he studies with were often far apart. Berge recalled a logo contest he entered while a student at St. Olaf. He entered the competition in conjunction with an art class he was taking at the time. He designed the logo for the Feminist Awareness Caucus on the St. Olaf campus. His logo was chosen; he received the $10 prize money, but netted a "C" in the class. He is quick to point out that Bill Mauldin, cartoonist for the Chicago Sun-Times, has never had an art class. Currently working at a graphic arts company in Racine, Berge would like to be a world famous cartoonist some day. "I don't know how realistic that is," he chuckled, "but I would like to get into a larger market." His work is also published by the Racine Journal Times and a monthly environmental publication located In northern Wisconsin. youp views 2 Thursday, September 24, 1987 RANGER STOP ME IF YOU'VE HEARD THIS..." Concern, corrections and gratitude offered To the Editor: On behalf of the Kenosha- Racine Bicentennial Committee, I would like to take this means of thanking the UWParkside students, faculty and staff who attended the Thursday, September 17, 1987, forum on "Freedom of the Press: Are There Limits? " The major issues and the variety of views on this important constitutional question were quite apparent through the presentations of Tom Reeves, professor of history, UW-Parkside; Dwight Teeter, professor of journalism, UW-Milwaukee, Charles Sykes, former editor of Milwaukee Magazine, and Robert Wills, editor of the Milwaukee Sentinel. Thanks are also due to Chancellor Kaplan for moderating the discussion and hosting our speakers and the Bicentennial Committee after the program. In addition, many other UW-Parkside faculty and staff contributed to the success of the program. The display in the library, together with the opportunity to "sign" the Constitution, is only one example of that support. This celebration and program could not have taken place without your cooperation. Please be aware that the Bicentennial celebration extends through 1991 with the addition of the Bill of Rights to the U.S. Constitution. I would urge all campus groups to consider sponsoring programs celebrating various aspects of the Constitution in these coming four years. There was on omission from our printed program. Mrs. Gwen Wortock, president of the Friends of the UW-Parkside Library, most ably represented that organization and contributed significantly to the activities of the Bicentennial Committee. I apologize to her and the Friends that their important contribution was overlooked in that way. Sincerely, Dwayne G. Olsen, Chair Kenosha-Racine Bicentennial Committee and Associate Professor of Education To the Editor: This letter is in regard to the recently celebrated National Hispanic Heritage Week. As chairman, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the planning committee. I would like to thank committee members from the Racine and Kenosha communities: Armando Bras, Rafe Gonzales, Vanda Kinderman, Arturo Martinez and Gary Vargas. I would like to thank members of Parkside faculty for their support. Faculty members and supporters of committee activities were: Gerald Greenfield and Kenneth Hoover. Also, a special thanks should go to Gerald Greenfield and The International Studies Department for their co-sponsering and involvement in Hispanic Heritage Week activities. I would like to thank the many Parkside staff who helped in the planning of the activities. Staff members on the committee were: Walter Gutierrez, Lloyd Mueller, Pam Smith and Diane Welsh. I would like to thank Bill Robbins of Parkside Public Information for again assisting the committee in publicizing events in local media and for his help in getting media coverage of our events. I would also like to thank the Parkside Ranger for their publicity of the events and the fine articles on the visit by Ness Flores and the business panel. I would like to thank all of the presenters for .their participation and contribution to making this year's event one of the finest yet.

Happy New Year Jews celebrate holy holiday by Amy H. Hitter News Editor A large group of people across the world are celebrating a New Year today. Members of the Jewish faith Thursday began obser vance of a ten-day period of repentance and resolutions, starting with Ftosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. Rosh Hashanah, also known as the Day of Judgment and the Day of Remembrance, has been regarded as a day of reflection and repentance since early times, according to A Book of Jewish Concepts, printed by the Hebrew Publishing Company, New York. Solemnity characterizes Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the tenth day of the new year (Oct. 3), and the two days are called Days of Awe, as men and women stand in divine judgement. Rosh Hashanah traditionally marks the creation of the world, and coincides with several important events in Israel's history. All members of the human race on this day, according to Jewish faith, must give strict account of the deeds committed during the year. Mercy is received through the kind acts of ancestors remembered. A call for repentance is symbolized through the blowing of a special animal horn called a shofar. The symbolic casting of sins into running water is symbolized by tossing bread crumbs into a stream. Petitions for a sweet year are symbolically made through the use of honey in foods and the avoidance of sour and pickled food. Custom dictates that Jews should not appear somber during these holy days, buy joyous, wearing cheerful white clothes. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the climax of the 10-day period of repentance. Emphasis is on reflection, inspiration, and the optimistic view that is possible for people to improve their characters. During this time, Jews focus on ethical conscience, moral responsibility, self-examination and spiritual regeneration. Cheerful confidence that they have been forgiven is the result of repentance and atonement. On Yom Kippur, confessions of sin are recited. Forgiveness is offered, but only if attempts are made to repair injuries inflicted on others. Also, those who ask for forgiveness are to be forgiven wholeheartedly. Fasting serves as self-denial and a day of rest. Atonement prayers recited through the day start with an emphasis on guilt and gradually move to confidence in God's love and mercy. Yom Kippur also coincides with important events in Jewish history. It is the day Moses descended from Mount Sinai with the second set of tablets of the Ten Commandments and proclaimed God's forgiveness of the sin of the golden calf. "These are the highest holy days for observant Jews," said Leon Applebaum, a Parkside economics professor and member of Beth Israel Sinai Congregation, Racine. Some Jewish professors cancel classes on these days, but Applebaum, on sabbatical this semester, has none to cancel. He has cancelled classes in observance of these holidays in previous years. This year, he said, "I know where I'll be, I'll be in temple." Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, assistant professor in communication, describes herself as a reform Jew. Reform Jews, she said, do not keep many traditions, viewing them as outdated. Many traditions regarding food were beneficial for health reasons, but are no longer applicable. The other two classifications are orthodox, who follow all traditions completely, and conservative, who follow many but not all. she said. see Holiday page 10 REMEMBER SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS News Briefs Report urges child care changes A group of corporate leaders called for increased public investment in the health and education of kids after seeing a report. "Children in Need: Investment Strategies for the Educationally Disabled," reported the Wisconsin State Journal. The 87-page report was read by the Committee for Ecomonic Development, based in New York. They recommend increased investment in prenatal care for pregnant teenagers, instruction in parenthood, better child care programs and quality pre-school programs for disadvantaged youngsters. The report stated that the U.S. is creating "a permanent underclass of young people" who, because they lack basic literary skills and work habits, can't hold jobs. It warns that the poverty and ignorance could threaten the U.S.'s competitive global stance in the future by creating a shortage of qualified workers. The report suggested that the business community become a "driving force" for implementing these programs, but also said that the federal government "needs to re-affirm its longstanding commitment to ensuring the disadvantaged access to quality education." Center school enrollment up As four-year universities implement enrolled restrictions, an enrollment boom is hitting two-year campuses. If this continues, the two-year centers could be forced to cap enrollments as well, reported the Oshkosh Northwestern. UW system Chancellor Steven Portch said a UW System enrollment management plan directed by the Board of Regents will allow some campuses to increase in size as others need to limit enrollment. He explained that as more four-year institutions such as Oshkosh and Green Bay cap their enrollments, students are looking to the centers for their freshman and sophomore education. If enrollment caps are eventually needed at the centers as well, Portch said they would be based on academic qualifications. Minority figures up in Madision Minority freshman enrollment has increased at Madison this year, reported the Wisconsin State Journal. Black enrollment is up 65 percent, American Indian is up 82 percent, and Hispanic enrollment has increased 27 percent from last year. School officials hope that this will end a seven-year decline of minority enrollment, especially among black students that has occured over the last seven years. Associate admissions directors couldn't say for sure why the numbers have increased, but it could be due in part to the increased use of minority alumni as informal recruiters and Madison personally contacting minority students who apply for admission. 20° DISCOUNT Clip & Save This Ad To all Parkside students and faculty members only, on all merchandise in our store.

The other keynote speaker will be Lynn Cutler, vice chairperson of the National Democratic Committee.

In 1981, Craft, 42, who is currently news director and co-anchor at KRBK-TV in Sacramento, California, was removed from her position as news anchor at TV station KMBC in Kansas City, Mo., she said. At that time the station was owned by Metromedia, Inc. Metromedia, executives cited research that claimed "t?0 old' too unattractive and not sufficiently deferential to men" as reasons for pulling her from the anchor job, Craft said. Ironically, Craft said, four days later the station's ratings showed it had moved from number two in local news to number one for the first time in three years. Craft left the station and filed a $500,000 lawsuit against Metromedia, charging the company with sex disUniversity of Wisconsin Platteviile See Castles in the Air And learn your way around the world "If you have built castles in the air, now put the foundations under them." „cnry David Thore.u Study in London for $3675 per semester.

Craft said she won a jury trial in the federal district court of Kansas City in 1983. But she said the judge who presided at the trial threw out the jury's decision, saying there had been to much publicity during the trial and the jurors had not been sequestered. A second trial, in 1984 in Joplin, Mo., featured a sequestered jury and the same judge, Craft said. That jury also decided in Craft's favor. But federal appeals court overturned that jury's decision, saying the jurors were "unreasonable" in arriving at their decision. Craft then filed her case with the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 1986 re fused to hear it. (Justice Sandra Day O'Connor was the lone member of the court voting in favor of hearing Craft's case.) Craft said that although she technicality had lost the case, she achieved moral victories in the two jury trials. She said her case transcended the issue of sex discrimination and illustrated an erosion of the right of citizens to trial by jury, which is guaranteed by the Seventh Amendment of the Constitution. Craft said research by a team of Yale University law students showed that in 1984 nearly 50 percent of jury decisions in the U.S. were overturned by federal judges, and of that figure, 70 percent were decided in favor of corporate interests. Craft's paperback book, "An Anchorwoman's Story," was awarded the Rhodora Book Prize by the Center for Research on Women at Stanford University.

Education students mourn friend tractive and Not Sufficiently Deferential to Men.' • Lynn Cutler holds bachelor's and master's degrees from Northern Iowa University. As vice chairperson of the National Democratic Committee she is the chief liaison between the party and Democratic elected officials at the city and county levels throughout the nation. Her career began in 1974 when she was elected the first woman supervisor of Black Hawk County, Iowa. Since then Cutler has been active on local, state and national levels in the Democratic Party, particularly on issues of concern to women. In 1977 President Jimmy Carter appointed Cutler to the U.S. Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations and as its vice chair in 1978. The commission was created to study ways the federal government could operate more effectively. In 1984 she was named one of the Outstanding Women in America. "Pete" Jansta, a tall, somewhat stocky Parkside student who wore wirerimmed glasses, died unexpectedly last Wednesday of a heart attack. He was only 46. A main figure in most education classes, he would gently joke with everyone he encountered. He was a quiet and gentle man, too, and most people felt right at home with him. Jansta was looking forward to being a teacher and was close to being certified at the time of his death. A resident of Racine, Jansta was a member and past financial secretary of the Racine Council 697 Knights of Columbus. He was in the first class of permanent Deacons in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. He was also the official scorekeeper of St. Catherine's High School basketball for 13 years. The Parkside education department and all of the education students who knew this sweet and wonderful man would like to express their deepest sympathy to Jansta's wife, Linda, and daughter, Michelle, and to say that his spirit will be ever present here, and he is, and will always be sadly missed.

It has been moved to the Student Records lobby, outside D191 WLLC. "They did not like the move, but they are not a club," said Registrar Sue Johnson. PASA needed a private office, and the Veteran's office got in the way of their operations, she said, so the Veteran's office was moved to the Student Records lobby. Lloyd Tremmell was in charge of the Veteran's office until the move occurred. "I asked for a private office, but they were not able to provide me one," Tremmell said. "I can't function in a lobby of an office with ten other people that work for Parkside." The Student Records office will assume the same duties that the old Veteran's office took care of in the PASA location. That includes certifying veteran enrollment so veterans can receive benefits. Susan Lueck and Joe Jucha are the new heads. "Neither Susan Lueck or Joe Jucha are veterans and they both are working with veterans on the signing of important documents," said Tremmell. Temmell has a meeting with Chancellor Sheila Kaplan on Sept. 28 to discuss the matter.

New experience for Catholic students New look-new experience is the title and new image for the newly established Catholic Student Club, according to Father Norm, the recently appointed campus minister here at Parkside. The first get-acquainted meeting of the Catholic Student Club is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 30, during the club activity hour from 1 to 2 p.m. in Room 109 of Molinaro Hall. The Catholic Student Club is open to all students, faculty, administration and staff. The club will have social events, fund raisers, bible study, prayer services, discussions on social justice, ethical and moral issues, etc. Currently Father Norm is contacting university administrators, faculty, staff and students in seeking their support and possible involvement in the Catholic Student Club. Father Norm believes that many members of the university can be served by the Catholic Student Club as well as contribute to its effectiveness. From Father Norm's 18 years of pastoral experience, he know that it is very common for college students to question their faith and value system. The Catholic Students Club is an opportunity for students to sort out their questioning and searching process during their formative college years. Above all, the Catholic Student Club can provide a support system for university students who cherish similar human and spiritual values while pursuing their university studies. sored by the Kenosha-Racine Bicentennial Committee; the Golden Rondelle Theater; the Friends of the UW-Parkside Library; the Kenosha and Racine Leagues of Women Voters; the Kenosha and Racine Unified School Districts.

In the event of criminal Activity, jurisdiction falls to the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department. Captain Roger Zeihen, the department's director of operations, does not feel any expediency is being sacrificed under such a set-up. "If you have any type of felony or accident going on," Zeihen said, "It would only be a matter of minutes before we responded." Just what role the Campus Police has in maintaining order around the residence halls is clear to its director, Ron Brinkmann. "We can apprehend and detain; but the sheriff does the investigating." That scenario could change if campus security personnel were deputized by Sheriff Fred Ekornaas. Such an option has been studied, but to no avail. Five Years Ago September 23, 1982 New legal service coming to Parkside A new legal service is being designed at Parkside to inform students of their rights and responsibilities under the law and to aid them in the resolution of individual legal problems which may arise while in school Among the specific problems this service will address will be prosperity matters, contract and consumer matters, domestic relations and family law matters, tort defense, administrative agency matters, employment grievences, small claims and traffic court matters, and criminal legal matters. Those matters excluded from the list of possible services include suits against Parkside, anti-trust proceedings, income, felony, probate, tax matters, service to student organizations, and pre-existing legal problems. By advising and educating students about legal problems, it is the goal of the Student Legal Service to create a more congenial learning environment on the Parkside campus. Ten Years Ago September 21, 1977 Petrie runs for congress William Petrie, Assistant Professor of Labor Economics, has announced his candidacy for the seat of Congressman for Wisconsin's first Congressional District. He is a member of the Republican Party. Les Aspin now hold the seat, but many speculate that Aspin will run for the governorship. Petrie feels that unemployment is one of the major issues of the First Congressional District. He believes a tax incentive plan for small businesses would better serve both long and short term unemployment. Another major issue in this election, according to Petrie, is energy. The industry in southeastern Wisconsin depends heavily on natural gas and oil. These fossil fuels are the subject of much debate and discussion with regard to future use and consumption. Petrie said, "If we don't do something to increase the supply of fossil fuels in the short term, we are going to come up with a major shortfall in meeting the energy needs of not only southeastern Wisconsin, but the entire country."

Catholic Student Club The first organizational meeting of the Catholic Student Club is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 30 from 1-2 Who's bad? Jackson by Doc Mallory How many people remember August 31? It was the day all traffic led to the local record shop. It was definitely the musical event of the year. Oh, sure, there are the Grammys and the other musical award equivalents that are too many to mention. The event was the long-awaited release of Michael Jackson's album, "Bad". When I decided to review this album, I thought of many ways to try to look at such a phenomenon as Michael Jackson. There was, first of all, the easy way out-and that was to simply compare it to "Thriller". You remember "Thriller"? IT be brief: 38.5 million copies, eight Grammys, seven hit songs, three unforgettable videos and we can't forget-the glove. But, as you see, "Thriller" as an album, is a musical masterpiece. A comparison between "Thriller" and "Bad" is unfair to the artist, thp music and to the reader who may become the listener. I decided to look at this album for what it's worth and forget about the brilliant p.m. in Molinaro 109. All students, faculty, administrators and staff are invited.

Pop music fans are going to love this new album. The first side opens with the title song, and it promises to be a Top Ten hit-what else is new? Jackson sets up the song with a "Get Ready, Get Set and Go!" style. He gets you ready with his smoothly paced lyrics in "Your Butt is Mine", sets you up with the bridge, and finally lets it go in the chorus when he proclaims, "I'm Bad".

Meier and Co. will be the guest speaker. but fans should appreciate that they are brand new. Jackson is going to promote each song with a certain strategy. First, he has collaborated, once again, with Quincy Jones. Jones, as we all know, can produce music with the best of them. Besides Jackson, Jones has worked with Frank Sinatra, Lena Home and James Ingram. Secondly, Jackson is going with a style that not only attracts R&B fans, but rock fans as well. The songs "Speed Demon" and "Dirty Diana" are two examples of songs with a more hard rock edge. Next we hear the side of Jackson that likes to share the spotlight with his musical peers. An example of this is the first release, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" with Siedah Garret. Garret also co-wrote a song on "Bad" called "Man in the Mirror" where Jackson gets to sing with such gospel singers as Andre Crouch, Sandra Crouch, and the Winans, just to name a few. Jackson also hooks up with long-time pal, Stevie Wonder, who is no newcomer to platinum records, not to mention Grammys. Wonder helps belt out the tune "Just Good Friends". The final ingredient is Jackson himself. The singer uses his smooth vocals to passively call out his "Liberian Girl". Then there is this writer's favorite, and probably the best R&B cut on the album, "Another Part of Me". The album concludes with a driving performance on a song called "Smooth Criminal". Fans will be happy to hear that an hourlong video to this song is expected to be nationally televised in early 1988. The new Michael Jackson album won't shake off his true fans, but it may have some people fall off the bandwagon. That's something to think about when you realize that "Off the Wall" sold nine million copies and "Thriller" sold 30 million more that that. What it says is that middle ground for Michael Jackson is still a good paycheck...and that's not bad at all.

They ended up in car washes and hamburger joints, putting in long hours for little pay. Not me. My job takes just one weekend a month and two weeks a year. Yet, I'm earning $18,000 for college. Because I joined my local Army National Guard. They're the people who help our state during emergencies like hurricanes and floods. They're also an important part of our country's military defense. So, since I'm helping them do such an important job, they're helping me make it through school. As soon as I finished Advanced Training, the Guard gave me a cash bonus of $2,000. Then, under the New GI Bill, I'm getting another $5,000 for tuition and books. Not to mention my monthly Army Guard paychecks. They'll add up to more than $11,000 over the six years I'm in the Guard. And if I take out a college loan, the Guard will help me pay it back—up to $1,500 a year, plus interest. It all adds up to $18,000—or more —for college for just a little of my time. And that's a heck of a better deal than any car wash will give you. THE GUARD CAN HELP PUT YOU THROUGH COLLEGE, TOO. SEE YOUR LOCAL RECRUITER FOR DETAILS, CALL TOLL-FREE 800-638-7600?

Feature Editor Learning Assistance and Counseling Office-it s name alone tells students what they are all about. Headed up by Carol Cashen who was once acting Chancellor for Student Affairs, the Learning Assistance office is staffed by a lot of caring people. "The areas that report to me are Testing and Counseling, Career Planning and Placement, Learning Assistance and a new area called Special Services," said Cashen. Special Services is a federally funded program designed to assist students who are first-generation college students in need of special help. This is a three year grant which provides a total pack- Carol J. Cashen age for students which will include financial aid, special educational advantages through workshops and counseling. This program is also designed to take them not only through undergraduate school, but also through graduate school. "The whole aim of this program," Cashen said,' "is to make certain that the students graduate." "I feel that our whole area is there to help students learn more efficiently," Cashen stated. "But, at the same time, we don't want students to think of us as a remedial service." Cashen herself handles students who are on collegiate skills probation, and whatever decisions she can't make, she refers to the Academic Actions Committee. "We would like the students to know that our office is designed to do just what our title says," Cashen said in closing, "and that is to be here to help assist the students in any way we can." Career office not just for seniors by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor If you're a senior getting ready for that all important job search, or if you're a freshman wondering just what it is you are going to do with that English degree when you graduate, Career Planning and Placement is the office you need to visit. JoAnn Goodyear, director of Career Planning and Placement and Bev Burnell, career counselor, staff this area and both will guide any student through an exploration of opportunities to make sure that students make the appropriate career choice. "We encourage students to explore career options," Goodyear said, "and then to focus on that choice so they can choose a course at Parkside that will make a difference when they get out into the job market. "There is nothing more frustrating for us than to have an English major, for example, to come in and say 'okay here I am, what are you going to do with me? ' Many students don't know what they want to do and have no way of finding out," Goodyear pointed out, "so we use a lot of printed materials to help them explore all career options. "As a student you do not n'eed an appointment to use these materials," Goodyear stated. "These materials may be checked out overnight. "This office feels that career ideas need to be discussed while choosing a major," Goodyear said. "The major should be in the direction of the career choice. Depending on the career choice, the major may or may not matter as much," Goodyear remarked. "The student needs to think about what else he might do to compliment the career choice — which might not be limited to course work. "We want to help the student build a resume," Goodyear said, "which might include the choice of a parttime job, on-campus opportunities, papers written in class — basically anything that will test skills. "Some students who come to Parkside already have a clear idea of what they want when they get here," Goodyear explained, "and they have already made their career choice. Usually the choice of a major forces the career choice, and it starts the student thinking about it." For a student investigating career choices, there are a series of steps to follow. "The first step is to find out what the student's interests are, what he likes and what he has already rejected," Goodyear said. "We try to find out what work experience he has had, what his strengths are academically, and what his skills and abilities are. We can build on those skills," Goodyear continued, "and we can also eliminate certain areas based on those skills. "A lot of students have interests," Goodyear pointed out. "They just don't know how those interests relate to a. career." What a student considers to be important in a very personal way is another area considered when choosing a career, Goodyear said. "We need to know what is important to him. His values play an important role in the career choice he will make. "An important thing students need to be cautioned on," Goodyear pointed out, "is man-power projections. A student needs to now if there will be growth in his career choice and to make sure that the area will not close down before he gets there. "A student should want to make sure that after working so hard to get his degree," Goodyear emphasized, "he wants to make sure it's going to pay off." To help assure the payoff, one of the new resources Career Planning and Placement has is a new computer named "Sigi." "Sigi Plus is a software program for career guidance and information," Goodyear explained. "There are nine sections with a lot of information on occupations as well as helping the student to explore what they need to be successful." Sigi's programs help the student see what types of skills are needed for certain occupations, asks him to answer questions related to those areas and, in this way, helps the student get on the right course. "It's easy to use, and it's a way to do something that would take awhile in a conversation to come to," Goodyear said. "Students can get what they need and they can move on," Goodyear said, "or they can make an appointment with a counselor to discuss the things that they found out. Counseling center ol by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor If you're feeling lost or confused, if you need to take a placement test or you have to sign up for one of your collegiate skills tests - if you're just a student with a need to talk to someone who understands, the place you need to go is the Counseling Center. The center is staffed by Dr. Stuart Rubner and his associates Barbra Larson and Mary Power, and is located in the Learning Assistance and Counseling Office in WLLCD175. The Counseling Center offers three major services to students at Parkside. The first is prescriptive advising. All students who are admitted to Parkside on a conditional basis are required to be seen by one of the counselors. A conditional student is someone who did not graduate in the top half of his class and/or someone who did not take the traditional college prep courses in high school. "I feel it's better to be admitted conditionally," Rubner confided, "you get more personal attention than someone who is a standard admit. "We meet with the student Counselor Barbara Larson liste Counseling Center at least three times during the semester," Rubner said. "The first time is to help the student make out his schedule. Once the student is registered he cannot make any changes without the counselor's approval. "The second meeting comes at the six to eight week period in the semester," Rubner continued. "By then, we have gotten feedback from the professors - we call it our early warning system • Career seepage 15 r ... .

"Finally," Rubner said, "we meet in the middle of November during advising time to work out a spring schedule. "We establish a fairly close relationship with these students," Rubner concluded. "We are actually writing out their prescription for success here, and they stay with us until they complete 15 Parkside degree credits, have maintained a C-average or better, and have made reasonable progress toward fulfilling collegiate skills and breadth of knowledge requirements." The second major service offered is personal counseling. This area is open to all students here at Parkside. At one time Parkside had a clinical psychologist on staff. The administration at that time felt that with so many community resources in that direction Parkside's service was unnecessary, so they eliminated that position. In those days students were referred to outside counselors in both Racine and Kenosha. "That worked pretty well," Rubner said. "In fact we're still doing that kind of referral. "When Gary Grace came to Parkside as Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs," Rubner continued, "he saw a need for more personal counseling occurring on campus. "I think with the housing complex being developed and the potential for four hundred students living on campus," Rubner said, "we just couldn't be referring them off campus all the time." Counseling see page 10 Campus needs center by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs Gary Grace feels that personal counseling has always been going on between students and faculty and staff, but he feels that what was missing when he came to this campus was an identifiable referral unit on campus. "What was missing was the university saying, 'here is a support service for students, faculty and staff to use in a supportive kind of way.' " Grace said. "We are trying to develop our personal counseling unit into three major areas," Grace said. "First we want to create a liaison relationship with the major student organizations, the major departments and the major faculty divisions so that they know there is a service to refer students to. "It's reassuring to know the service is there," Grace pointed out. "Our staff and faculty have a caring attitude about students and they need some place to discuss any problems they might encounter in a professional manner." Visibility and awareness are what we are trying to create," Grace said. "Another area we are developing is a diagnostic resource where there is some testing of students who want assistance from a professionally trained counselor," Grace stated. "These tests could range from a battery of need assessments to personality testing." The third area in the unit would be a therapeutic resource. "If a student needs someone to talk to we have staff qualified to help them," Grace pointed out. "Dr. Stuart Rubner and Barbara Larson are certified and licensed psychologists," Grace said. "They will help the students themselves or refer them to an outside source if necessary. "The rationale that I took exception to in the old organizational structure," Grace said, "was that Parkside was a commuter institution and that our students were eighteen years of age and therefore adults. And because these students were primarily Grace see page 10 ARC offers more than tutoring by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor You're sitting in your algebra class watching the professor put numbers on the board and you realize you don't understand anything that's going on. You need this class for your major so you really can't drop it. And to make things worse, you're going to have a test next week and you know that you won't pass. Your first instinct is to panic, but before you do that, you should know that there is a place on campus that you should investigate. The Academic Resource Center (ARC) helps approximately 500 students per semester with tutoring in math, English, writing skills, and a variety of other subjects. Senior Instructional Program Director Sandra Burmeister, coordinates the professional and peer-professional support groups (tutors). "I'm really enthusiastic about the services the ARC offers," Burmeister said, "primarily because of my idealism regarding assistance to students. I feel that the tutors are very well trained and very capable," Burmeister stated, "and data shows that students who come to the ARC for assistance do quite well in the courses in which they are tutored. Most of the students we tutor are freshmen and sophomores," Burmeister said, "but we will tutor higher level classes if the tutor feels capable of assisting someone in a difficult class. It's on a supply and demand basis," Burmeister pointed out, "if I can't find a tutor for a particular subject, I'm left short-handed." Most of the tutors are juniors or seniors, and all with a photo by Ken McCray S°iLutat0-r»-°f Aca?emic Resource Center Sandra Burmeister with writing assistant John Francois 3.0 grade point average or better in their majors. These students tutor in the area of their majors or a closely related area. There are approximately 60 tutors counting all of the peer-assistance workers. All the tutors have faculty endorsements for the subjects they tutor. Another one of the groups that Burmeister oversees is the Supplemental Instruction leaders (SI leaders.) The classes covered by SI leaders are high-risk courses. These courses are difficult, but they have good college requirements. "These classes have the kind of requirements," Burmeister said, "that we would like all freshmen and sophomores to be able to handle, so that they can progress to higher level courses that are similar." The courses covered by SI leaders at the present time are Intro to Literature, Intro to Humanities, Earth and Man and History 101. "The SI leader attends all _ , u , . Photo by Ken McCray Tutor Helen Lena assists student Lu-Ping Jiang in the Writing Center. the classes," Burmeister said, "along with doing all the readings and assignments, and then leads a discussion group with those students." All SI leaders are students who have already had the course hopefully with the same instructor and have had an A in the course. Also the students are very capable in that particular discipline. Most are upperclassmen, and all are recommended by faculty. "Currently we are the only UW system school that offers supplemental instruction," Burmeister pointed out. I am one of the eight national SI certified trainers," Burmeister said, "and I've already begun to train some people for the rest of the UW system. Hopefully we'll be able to expand this program," Burmeister said, "there are probably as many as 40 classes here that could use an SI leader. I'm in the process of writing a system grant," Burmeister explained, "so that we can possibly get the funding needed. "It not only takes a lot of money," Burmeister said, "it takes a lot of people, and right now I'm short on both." Burmeister also oversees the Writing Center. The center is run on a drop-in basis. Students can bring in any papers from any class for assistance. "Essentially what a student gets when he goes to the writing center," Burmeister explained, "is a person who is a good writer who has been especially trained in the techniques of writing. "All of the writing assistants are good listeners," Burmeister said, "and they will try to help the student ARC for students see page 10 10 Thursday, September 24, 1987 Help offered free RANGER ARC for students from page 9 change the paper according to the student's needs. "The writing assistants will respond to the students ideas." Burmeister emphasized, "they will also offer suggestions and help the student at all stages of the paper, from brainstorming for the idea up to the finished product." The ARC also offers some diagnostic tests that students can take on their own and follow up self-improvement materials that they can use. Students can take a paper diagnostic test in math to decide if there is any area in math from basic computations up to skills that are necessary to enter college algebra. There is a computer program that gives the student practice in those areas that he is weak in. "We feel that the computer system is particularly useful in math," Burmeister said, "because often the student needs to do the problem over and over and needs to receive immediate feedback on whether the answer is right or wrong." "I think it's important that these services remain free to Parkside students, and I hope to keep it this way." -Sandra Burmeister Not only does the ARC handle the tutoring, supplemental instruction and the Writing Center, but they also handle self-improvement workshops for students. "I think it's important that these services remain free to Parkside students, "Burmeister concluded, "and I hope to keep it this way. "We are here for the students and we encourage them to take advantage of all we have to offer."

"We would like to serve as a resource base for the RA's," Rubner said. "It's a tough living environment over there," Rubner continued. "I understand the kind of stress the RA's are under and the rsponsibilities they have. So I want to be there as a support person for them. "I have some clear objectives relating to counseling and student development," Rubner stated. "We want to work with faculty a lot," Rubner emphasized. "We want to help them identify, in their classes, students who may need professional help. "We would eventually like to get feedback directly from the students that would give them and us a better idea of where they are psychologically - just so we know what they're thinking and what their values are." The third service offered by the Counseling Center is testing. This area is responsible for administering all collegiate skills testing, and doing all record keeping associated with testing. "Actually all three areas are very busy, counseling a little less so because we're just starting that up again," Rubner stated. "The testing and advising really keep us hopping.

The money is distributed through Racine County Project Emergency, a non-profit, federally funded agency which provides food and shelter to people in the Racine County area. In 1986, that 25% portion of the money from the CROP walk amounted to $3,500. All of it was used for the purchase of emergency food here in Racine. This food was then distributed to food banks and free meal programs here. A total of about 1,750 meals were provided at such places as St. Patrick's Church on Erie St. or the Cristo Rey Parish on Wisconsin Avenue, Harvest Outreach Food Bank in downtown Racine or the food bank at Rochester United Church in Rochester, Wisconsin. The CROP walk has been, for several years, a successful fund raising endeavor. Let's hope for another great effort this year -a CROP walk for 1987 which will help serve more of our neighbors here and around the globe.

RANGER Jesse Hartjmu* Teen community newspaper organized Hbyir TJiimm Neibaur . >"•-n — i u_u . — . ——i ,, Feature Editor Jessie Hargrove, Director of Parkside's Educational Opportunities Center, has been appointed to head the Board of Directors for the newly formed Racine periodical The Teen News. Said Hargrove: "The Martin Luther King building complex has a Youth Achievement program. In this program we're interested in learning the needs of the teens in the community. So the idea was to set up a program where we could train these youths to be positive role models for other youths in the community. "The newspaper idea was a good one because it fosters creative skills, business skills, social skills, and gives the youths an opportunity to take an active role in something that they put together themselves. "While the Teen News does have adult coordinators, the adults are simply veritable traffic cops, where the youths take full charge of the writing, photography, ad sales, distribution, and all other aspects of putting out a newspaper. The original concept materialized when Mr. Kenneth Lumpkin, adult coordinator of the Racine Youth Achievement Program, requested $32,000 from the Private industry Council in an effort to get the newspaper started. Lumpkin stated in his letter to the council that this concept was an effort to "train youths in the skills of business operational management through the journalism profession." "We're trying to set up an incentive to keep the students in the program," Hargrove continued. "For example, every hour of work they do is multiplied by two dollars. We Jesse Hargrove want to put that in a kitty somewhere so that if one of the students decides to go on to college, the money will be there. "They can earn up to 1400 hours over a three year peBook reviews riod. So if they work with the paper throughout their high school years, and do decide to attend college, they will have that money put away toward their continued education." Besides the creative skills of writing and photography that a paper calls for, Hargrove feels the business skills, artistic skills (layout and design), and social skills learned are also important. The students, when selling ads for the paper, learn how to effectively deal with various local businesses. "Often students will run up to me and shout 'Hey Doctor Hargrove, you want to put an ad in the paper?' Then I'll say to them, 'Now how are you supposed to ask me?' That way these youths will learn the right way to ask people if they want to advertise, and get the best results.." The Teen News covers a diverse spectrum of events that are of interest to teenagers of the community. This includes political events, human interest features, opinion articles, entertainment essays, and fashion. "Often you hear about the teenage gang problem and other negative things," said Hargrove. "The Teen News allows members of the community to see the positive things that area youths are involved in." Along with Kenneth Lumpkin, Hargrove also credits Program Coordinator Millicent Copeland with a great assist in seeing this project come to fruition. Hargrove concluded by saying that he hopes continued success of The Teen News will interest its young contributors in entering the field of journalism. "It'd be nice," he said, "if eventually Racine became known as a starting place for several important minority journalists." New studies on adolescence released by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor KIDS, DRUGS, AND THE LAW by David G. Evans, Esq. (Hazelden) Like this author's study on alcoholism and the law, the major point of this booklet is written from the illegality perspective. That this study centers on young people is to state that the major drug problem occurs within adolescents. No evidence of this theory is presented in the text. On its own terms, however, Evans does successfully explain the rights and responsibilities of families, liability of parents and other adults, treatment, confidentiality, etc. Perhaps the most interesting chapters deal with schools (concentrating on rights and responsibilities of the system, the students, parents, et al and a chapter discussing the children of alcoholics and other drug addicts. All of this information is very useful for those who have children or work closely with them. The book is short, but includes much information and is very well annotated. GROWING UP FEMALE; ADOLESCENT GIRLHOOD IN AMERICAN FICTION by Barbara A. White Green wood Press) While literature has been studied from a variety of different perspectives, little attention has been given to literature dealing with adolescents. And even less attention has been given to girlhood than to women in fiction. "Growing Up Female" is a complete, well-written study on adolescent girlhood, understanding the various ways in which this aspect of humanity was presented from pre-1920 works to the present day. Some of White's topics include "Nice Girls and their Folks," "Loss of Self," "The Adolescent Heroine," and "The New Girls." Her attention, then, is on various American books that deal with these topics. This study does an excellent job of assessing the way in which girlhood has been presented in American fiction. It not only helps us to better understand the stories it analyzes, but also the era in which these stories were written, and how each era regarded the adolescent female experience. Billy Hayes to appear by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor The film "Midnight Express" was based on a book by Billy Hayes, who recounted his five-year ordeal in a Turkish prison after being Convicted for attempting to smuggle hashish out of the country. Hayes has since joined the lecture circuit and will be appearing at Parkside this Tuesday at 8 p.m. The story Hayes has to tell is an ugly one, a brutal account of serving five years out of a 30 year sentence. It was a dozen years ago that Hayes escaped to the beach, took off in a rowboat amidst a violent thunderstorm, and paddled to eventual freedom. Hayes has stated that his escape from prison, as described in his book, was quite different than the one presented in the film. This fascinating, dynamic personality has been one of the most successful and popular speakers on the campus circuit. Admission to this event is free and will be held in the Union Cinema. The film "Midnight Express" will be shown in the cinema Monday at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m. GEOFF GAJEWSKI IS STILL GONE North Side 1810 Sheridan Road Kenosha, Wis. SUPERETTE UWP H Sheridan Rd.

During an interview for the Ranger last year, the members of Moxy Roxx discussed their interest in hard rock music as well as their heavy metal image. "We're a guitar-oriented band," said lead guitarist Joey LaVie. "We'll use a keyboard and guitar combination or just two guitars, but we don't let the keyboards dominate because it tends to lighten the sound." "We're more raw rock and roll like the early Rolling Stones." Moxy Roxx is also equipped with all the aggressive stage moves and energies that make for a most listenable hard rock-to-heavy metal outfit. "We're pretty free on stage," said guitarist Brooke Lynne, "Our choreography is limited to simply being at certain places during certain times.

The film then plunges into the character studies that are the focal point of the narrative. Teachers are presented as preferring to take the passive role and teach only those who attend class, while the Belushi character prefers to corral the students and place them where they're supposed to be. The students are presented as a diverse group of bad examples, the leading member (played wonderfully by newcomer Michael Wright) being Belushi's strongest opposition. It would be easy for "Principal" to cascade into a sea of phony dramatics by presenting several stereotypes within a series of perfunctory scenes. Instead the film is careful to show as realistic a picture as possible, detailing the characters as something more that mere cartoons, making strong points about educators too intimidated to teach students like these. Lou Gossett does nicely as a burly security person whose status as a veteran of this institution allows him to know what not to do and when not to do it. Rae Dawn Chong is wasted in the thankless role of a passive teacher who is involved in an attempted rape (a sequence lifted from "Up The Down Staircase"). Belushi does an exceptional » job in the title role. His character is idealistic and at the same time authoritative enough in order to fulfill his ideals. The culminating battle between he and the Michael Wright character wraps things up a bit too handily, despite the fact that the scene is very well edited. "Principal" is an emotional film, quite brutal and pro- ' fane, but with an underlying realism that can't be easily dismissed.

Richard Dreyfus and Emilo Estevez star as two detectives assigned to keep watch on a beautiful young woman's home in the event that her boyfriend, a notorious prison escapee, should show up. Dreyfus falls for the girl, becomes acquainted with her via an alias, the boyfriend DOES show up, and goodness there are just so many complications. Director John Badham keeps things light and entertaining like he did with "Wargames." The stars are shown as possessing the cute wit that goes from amusing to annoying. Dreyfus turns in a characteristically warm performance, but is not believable in the fight sequences. He is far too pudgy and unathletic looking to be accepted as a formidable opponent for any one of a number of brawny street fighters. Badham shoots on dark, overcast days. He keeps things gritty in an apparent attempt to display the ugly realism of the job. One fight takes place in a vat of raw fish. The general entertainment capabilities of "Stakeout" don't seem enough to warrant its massive box office appeal. There seems to be something essential missing that causes it to look no better than standard cinema fare. SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS Classic Disney animation highlights this milestone which achieved legendary status as the first animated full-length feature. The animation is, of course, breathtaking. The attention to detail is still imjpressive a half-century after the film's initial release. , But that is not enough. That plot is known by everyone, of course, but the antics of the "heroes" in this one are so painfully wholesome that it causes any discriminating viewer to cheer for the evil witch. The dwarfs cavort about like playful prehistoric Pillsbury doughboys, all suppressing apparent sexual feelings toward the leading character Snow White. And Snow White is so sickeningly saccharine she's probably carcinogenic. How about that name, Snow White? Well—let's not go into THAT.

FILM ON CAMPUS "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is perhaps the first film to require audience participation. Most of its detractors are persons who fail to get caught up in the celebration of movie badness that its true followers glorify in their obsessive quests to attend and participate in the on and off screen shenanigans. THE FAR SIDE Some of its more pretentious defenders have attempted to find actual meaning in the film, believing it to be a statement against sexual suppression. Actually, the very essence of "Rocky Horror" is that it is such a bad film, it has garnered a cult following that began with gay activists on U.S. coasts, and soon spread to college campuses. Attending a screening at least once is recommended. Then at least you can say that you've seen it. You won't have to return unless you become caught up in the trendy spirit of the off-screen proceedings. By GARY LARSON Nerds in hell 14 Thursday, September 24, 1987 RANGER Record review Neil Young on trisa ck bwaicthk new album Neil Young by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor You've really got to hand it to Neil Young. After years of f ailed experiments from techno-pop to hard rock to rockabilly, he has finally realized that, like former bandmates David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash, it's best for him to stick to his sixties roots. Hence we have the album "Life" (Geffen), Young's la- NO PROTECTION by Starship Anyone care for a bit of Top 40 dance music by an over-the-hill band? "No Protection," the latest from Starship reaffirms the statement that this band should have retired in the '60's. Instead, they changed their name and roster a few times and continue to put out annoying music. This LP combines empty lyrics with techno-pop tunes, creating a sound that is a cross between the Village People and the Chipmunks. The album picks up where its predecessor, "Knee Deep in the Hoopla," left off. Who can forget such wonderful chartbusters as "We Built This City" and "Sara?" At least the band is consistent. Even at their best, as Jefferson Airplane, their music wasn't very good. This first hit off the album, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now," has a level of intelligence matching that of the movie it was written for, "Mannequin." Next on the album is the band's latest release "It's Not Over," causing the listener to wish it was. But there are still eight more songs to sit through. The remaining tracks continue with the same style. It may not be much to listen to, but can provide an outstanding cure for insomnia. Patti Nitz WETTON/MANZANERA by John Wetton and Phil Manzanera (Geffen Records) In considering the Wetton/ Manzanera album, the word "unexciting" is an understatement. The album includes the col- Sweet Sbomte "GRAND OPENING Monday, September 21st" OPEN 10AM TO 2PM MONDAY thru FRIDAY Featuring a Full Selection of Candy and Nuts Located on the Main Concourse in the WLLG f I11 "I" . i , ,1 . I test attempt at salvaging what's left of his diminishing audience. Generally he succeeds, at least to the point where older fans like this writer will be pleased to hear the Neil Young they know and love. But then this isn't always the case. It is important for old artists to exhibit some sort of resiliance rather than just simply stagnate with old material. But then some artists' work is timeless enough not to need alteration in spite Short Cuts laboration of Phil Manzanera, who is a foremer member of Roxy Music, and John Wetton, who previously sang lead for Asia (which may account for the sappy vocals on this LP). While there might have been some potential for the music, it is snuffed out by the annoyingly wimpy choruses which resemble top 40 pop. This listener would be unable to distinguish the songs on the LP if the titles were changed. The repetition of the music combined with the lameness of the lyrics bogs the whole project down. Recommended only for those of you who have not already heard enough outside chorus lines and whiny vocals. Debbie Michna METALIZED by Sword (Combat) An explosive and aggressive heavy metal record, "Metalized" also manages to exhibit the instrumental talents of the band, Sword. Perhaps the fatal flaw with this effort is its lyrical content (the Satan bit is getting really tiresome, fellas). In the context of heavy metal rock, this music can best be described as biker metal which owes its existance to such sixties relics as Steppenwolf. Sword's method of using this style places them neatly above the mainstream metal of Motley Crue or Poison, but just beneath the fierceness of punk-derived speed metal as incorporated by Motorhead or Anthrax. It's a comfortable niche which can attract listeners from either side of the metal fence. Perhaps the best cut here is of changing trends. The most Young-esque track on "Life" is entitled "When Your Lonely Heart Breaks," reminiscent of the similar "Only Love Can Break a Heart" from his classic LP "After the Gold Rush." And the political slant on many of t he songs reminds us how much we again need sixties sensibilities in order to obliterate the fifties sensibilities now permeating the country. But then Neil Young, despite his significance, is still an acquired taste. And admittedly "Life" does not include another groundbreaking Young effort in the same class as "Ohio," "The Needle and the Damage Done," "Cinnamon Girl," or "Old Man." However it is still im portant to applaud the singer songwriter for not only sur viving a wealth of failed ex perimental LPs, but for man aging to prove that he can still put out good material if he chooses to do so. Meat puppets are on SST records the first one, "F.T.W. (Follow The Wheel)," which obliterates the tritenes of such tracks as "Stoned Again" and "Evil Spell." None of the songs are truly wretched, but many of the themes Sword chooses have become standardized within heavy metal rock. The group uses these formulas with no apparent attempt to challenge or redefine them. As hard rock goes, the music is good: fast, upbeat, and pulsating. The instrumentation shows strong competence within this context, while Rick Hughes' vocals are far superior to his lyrics. Jim Neibaur MIRAGE Meat Puppets (SST Records) The musical arrangement on the Meat Puppets "Mirage" album has a pleasant unpredictability about it though at times tends to ramble. However this is what the band may be striving for as expressed in the lyrics of their song "The Wind and the Rain" which states "Can't be controlled, can't be contained." In regards to the lyrics, the whimsical verses are a nice change from the processed and packaged word phrases that are too often heard in popular music. What pervades this LP is the strong folk influence combined with a substantial amount of country twang. Songs like "Get on Down" and "Leaves" truly reveal this band's workable capabilties. The Meat Puppets have definite gaps to fill in their music but their willingness to explore is refreshing. Possibly part of the album's success depends on the listener's openmindedness. Debbie Michna RANGER - Thursday, September 24, 1987 15 ^ Athlete profile Danish soccer duo adjusting Golfers faring well by Karen Wegerbauer New to Parkside this year are two students from Denmark. Jens (pronounced Yens) Hansen, 20, and Morten Larsen, 19, are members of the soccer team through scholarships. They found out about Parkside because Jens lived with relatives in Racine several years ago. He attended Prairie School, and through his soccer coach there, he and Morten came to the attention of Parkside's coach, Rick Kilps. After a year-long process of filling out applications and undergoing a series of tests, Hansen and Larsen were accepted to Parkside two weeks before they had to leave for America. They are grateful to Coach Kilps for his efforts in bringing them here. Now they share a room in the student housing (which they find too small), work hard on the soccer field, and attend classes. Their favorite class is German 303 with Professor Christoph. They enjoy his sense of humor which they find to be similar to their own and to that of the Danish people in general. Larsen and Hansen feel that Danes joke among them- Danish soccer players Jens Hansen and Morten Larsen selves more than Americans do. They also find that their type of humor sometimes causes misunderstandings with their fellow students. When they pull a joke, it is not always taken as such. They believe that this occurs because Americans are "too serious." They feel it is important to take it easy, relax, and "just cool back and think about it," as Hansen phrases it. The Danes' laid-back attitude is also reflected in their dating customs, which they describe as being "more loose" than American customs. Usually, in America, a guy asks a girl out, and he pays her expenses for the evening. While in Denmark, the couple usually arranges a casual meeting. Since the Danes appear to be easy-going in nature, it is not surprising to find that Hansen and Larsen are not in a hurry to make future plans. They haven't decided which majors to pursue or if they wish to graduate from Parkside. Larsen sums up their attitude by saying, VWe'll take it one year at a time." by Robb Luehr The Parkside golf team, with a week of practice under its belt, began its season the weekend of Sept. 11-12 with a strong showing in its first tournament. The Rangers finished fifth out of 15 teams in the Pointer Invitational with a team score of 816. Dave Wente led the Rangers by shooting (76-81)- 157, which placed him among the top 10 individuals. Also scoring well were Scott Schuit with (80-82)-162, Steve Jerrick with (83-81)-164 and Steve Gerber with (81-85)-166. Rounding out the Ranger scoring was Scott Brandt with (85-85)-170 and Jeff Lewis with (93-82)-175. Coach Steve Stephens was quite pleased with his team's effort, but admitted there's some work to do. "The guys played reasonably well, but we can do better," Stephens said. "We have the potential to do really well." UW-Stout, one of the preseason favorites to win the NAIA District 14 title, won the meet with a 774, eight shots better than UW-Whitewater and host UW-Stevens Point, who tied at 782. UWOshkosh was fourth with 785, defending district champ UWEau Claire was sixth with 819 and Marquette was seventh with 823. Co-medalists for the meet were Craig Geerts of Oshkosh (74-74) and Jason Zahradka of Stevens Point (76-72) with 148 each. Last Thursday, the Parkside golfers participated in the 18-hole Tuscumbia Collegiate meet in Green Lake. This time, the Rangers fared much better, finishing fourth out ot 18 teams with a 386 total. Brandt and Lewis finished -*• in the top 10 individuals, each shooting 76 to pace Parkside. The rest of the team also broke 80. Wente had a 77, Gerber a 78 and Schuit a 79. Stephens was very pleased with his teams' consistent scoring. "We're making some progress," Stephens said. "We played better than the last time. We played in the rain and the course was in bad shape, but we played very well." Oshkosh shot a 372 to take team honors. The second ^ through fourth place finishers -Marquette, Stevens Point and Parkside-were within four strokes of each other with scores of 382, 383 and 386, respectively. MSOE and Platteville rounded out the top six teams. Meet medalists were Dan Thomas of Oshkosh and Mark Pukall of Stevens Point, each with 72's. Letters from page 2 consin Disneyland. This is absurd. If the library is open 8-midnight, 7 days a week, every student on campus, as well as the faculty and community, would be well served. I am less sure of the benefit of a paneled billiard room. An excellent, accessible library is critical. Char Mano To the Editor: I hope this will help to clarify the atmosphere surrounding the Mission Review Statement. When it was reported that I had conveyed to the PSGA Senate that a particular draft of the statement had been rejected by Shelia Kaplan and Betty Shutler, I am afraid that the word "reject" may not have been appropriate. The entire process that we have been involved in has been a very tedious one. Everyone on campus, from the administration, and faculty, to .students have concerns and needs which are expressed in the statement. Realizing this, I think we can appreciate the concerns of all involved instead of only seeing conflict. Respectfully J.J.

Against M.S.O.E. at home last Thursday, the Rangers dominated the game from start to finish, behind two goals by Mike Riley, and one each by Greg Peters, Jeff Livonian, and Hung Ly. Parkside had 27 shots on goal against zero for their opponents in powering their way to a convincing 5-0 victory. On Saturday the Rangers won 6-2 behind two goals by Peters, plus scores from Morton Larsen, Mike Lee, Claudio Aranguiz, and Jens Hansen. The game was close early, but the Rangers ultimately pulled away in what proved to be a very physical game which resulted in Mike Baldwin receiving six stitches in his head. On Sunday, a tired Ranger team traveled to Lindenwood College to play on artificial turf for the first time ever. The result was a lengthy double overtime win for the drained Ranger Squad. "Early in the game we couldn't get a call," said Coach Rick Kilps, whose team was handed 35 fouls to Lindenwood's 19. He then added, "Greg Peters was redcarded with over 30 minutes to go, so we had to play the rest of the game short one man." After Riley scored a goal early in the game, the score was tied at 1-1 at the end of regulation. The score remained that way until there was one minute left in the game, when Morton Larsen received a penalty kick and sunk it through. The excitement continued as Lindenwood then got a chance to set up for a free kick with time running out, But, fortunately, the Rangers were saved as the gun sounded before they could get it off. Coach Kilps said that he was happy with the fact that v his team has pulled out some real close games this year, but is ultimately convinced that they can still play better. The Rangers have an upcoming game at Lawrence University on Sept. 23, and a big road game. Sept. 27 at rival UW-Green Bay. Men, Women runners do respectably by Michael J. Rohl UW-Parkside hosted two cross country meets Saturday — the Midwest Collegiate Championships and a lesserknown event, dubbed "The Meeting of the Minds." The Midwest Collegiate Championships, a prestigious meet, featured 26 teams and 250 runners competing in the women's five-kilometer and 28 teams and 299 men in the eight-kilometer race. The University of Wisconsin, led by former Stevens Point High School standout Suzy Favor, who finished second, easily won the women's meet, outdistancing secondplace Hillsdale by 80 points. Parkside's NAIA national champions placed ninth with 219 points. The women's individual winner was Vivian Sinou of Southern Illinois-Carbon dale. Her time of 17 minutes, 35 seconds was nearly a minute off last year's course record of 16:43, set by Favor. Michelle Marter-Rohl was Parkside's top runner, placing 10th. Mike DeWitt, the Parkside women's coach, was pleased with his team's effort. "We ran better than we expected," DeWitt said. "We finished in the top 10 because our top people ran better. "The top three are setting a consistent pattern. Last year we ran terrible here, but we ran much better this year. We might even be a little ahead of where we were last year." Loyola of Chicago won a much closer men's division, 75-101 over UW-Oshkosh. The Parkside men finished a disappointing 19th with 618 points. The top individual was Chris Borsa of Wisconsin. He covered the course in 25:00. Parkside's top finisher was sophomore Mike Nelson, a St. Catherine's graduate. In the past, "The Meeting of the Minds" has included Rice, Stanford, Harvard and Northwestern. This year, Rice and Harvard had to cancel due to a lack of funds, and the meet featured only Northwestern, Stanford and Drake. Stanford's men and women easily won, with the men shutting out both Drake and Northwestern and the women winning 21-34 over Northwestern and 15-41 over Drake. The purpose of the meet, according to Northwestern women's coach and meet director Mike Shea, was "to provide private schools with meets and promote goodwill." Brooks Johnson, the U.S. women's Olympic coach and Stanford's head coach, had praise for Parkside's facilities. "It's a very attractive course," said Johnson. "It's obvious the people take pride in it. I can't think of a better course in the U.S." Michelle Marter-Rohl shows her kick in her 10th place showing Lady Rangers hanging tough at 4-2 "The ladies played really well. It was a really convincing win for us. We won four three-set matches over some tough players." -Coach Wendy Miller by Jeffrey L. Stanich, Jr. On Tuesday, Sept. 15, the women's tennis team defeated Carthage for its first victory in four years over its cross-town rival. The Rangers defeated Carthage 8- 1, pushing the team's record to 4-1. "The ladies played really well," commented Coach Wendy Miller. "It was a really convincing win for us. We won four three-set matches over some tough players," Miller said. The women won five of six matches in singles, and then swept all of the doubles matches. Number two singles player, Stacey Stanich, came on strong to win her match 1- 6, 6-4, 6-3, after losing the first set. "Stacey really played well. She struggled early, but came back strong, playing a lot smarter to win the match," said Miller. Number three singles player Amy Tropin soundly defeated her opponent 6-0, 6-1, while number four and number five players Elizabeth Spalla and Dorothy Dorow each won in three sets. Miller said, "Elizabeth outlasted her opponent. She came back hard to win her match 6-2, 0-6, 7-5. Dorothy has really played well for us. She rebounded to win 5-7, 6-1, 6-3." Number six Kathy Livesey won convincingly 6-4, 6-2. She then teamed with Kim Vanderbush to win in three doubles sets 6-2, 2-6, 6-4. Number one doubles of Ann Althoff- Tropin won 6-3, 6-2, and number two Spalla-Sjtanich also won 6-0, 6-4. On Sunday, Sept. 20, UWStevens Point came into town and defeated Parkside 5-4 in an extremely hard-fought match. Coach Miller stated, "We did not play our strongest, but we still pushed them to the last match. Ann really played well winning 6-2, 6-2. It was a very good win for her. Amy and Dorothy also played well again pushing both of their personal records to 5-1." Amy won 6-2, 6-2 while Dorothy won 2-6, 6-4, 6- 2. The team's other win came when number two doubles team of Spalla-Stanich finished with a 1-6, 6-0, 6-4 victory. "They struggled in the beginning, but they played really well in the second and third sets," added Miller. The women's record is now 4-2, and they will resume action today in Beloit against Beloit and Cornell. On Saturday, the women travel to Whitewater for tjie always competitive Whitewater Invitational.
