Ritter News Editor Slate Representative Peter W Barca spoke before 25 stu. deBts Nov. 20 at the Parkside- StudentGovernment Associa- llon(pSGA) meeting, In an attempt to persuade the PSGASenate to reverse the standit has taken against the annexationof Parkside by the city ofKenosha. Barca was not aware until Ills arrival that the students bad actually passed a resolu- llonstating their opposition. "I think it's very impor- tant,not only for the univer- sity,but for the city of Keno- sha, that they are able to annexthis land, " Barca said. Barca refuted suspicions tbat annexation would cause a rise in tuition costs, and Pl'lmised to send the students formal correspondence from Madtsonverifying this. He explained that the pro. ceduresby which munIcipal rvices are paid in wtscon, havechanged. In the past, said, cities charged urn- verslties directly for services rendered. Now, a separate line-term provision In the state budget covers these costs. The city will benefit from annexation, Barca explained, because services are relm. bur-sed based on quallty. While the Town of Somers Is reimbursed $30,000 to $40,000 per year for the services it provides, which includes its volunteer fire department, the city of Kenosha would gain ten times that amount. Barca said Kenosha. because it has a full-time fire depart- ment and its own police de. partment, would be reim- bursed up to $400,000 by the state. . .'4you can see that the amount of revenue coming back to our community, .to this area, would increase ten. fold," Barca told the stu. dents. . Barca said that the quality of services will also improve in other areas, but he stressed the importance of uition waivers not the nly recruitment method by ,fenny Carr EdItor.

In a brief summary of the document proposed by Shaw, adequate funding for recruit- ment of minorities and for reo tatnlng the students once they are In -the university were also addressed. _ In addition, Shaw has called for the federal govern- ment programs which have demonstrated that they w~rk like the TRIO program, Peli grants, Head Start, Upward Bound to continue. Weinstein placed a great deal of emphasis on retent- nlon. "It is a -tragedy to come Into the system and not sur- vive. It Is wrong to recruit students for numbers only. We must think of who these students are and what they will need to be successful here." Weinstein emphasized th~cl the entire Shaw proposal IS still to discussed at open hearings . In ,January.. He noted that one of the heanngs coUld be held near Parkside and he encouraged people to participate in those hearm~s. "It is important to exa~lne the entire issue and not Just focus on a small portion of it." he concluded. Peter Barca full-time professtonal fire pro- tection. Somers' volunteer fire de- partment is adequate for a residential area, he said, but not for dorm residents and the daily concentration of stu- dents on campus. In the event of a chemical fire, the Senate endorsement Somers fire department would be called, and the city woUld provide back-up if needed. If annexed, Parkside would call the .city fire de- partment directly. As a member of the Envi- ronmental Resource Commit. tee, Barca said he was re- cently presented With a bill that would require fire- fighters to be famillar With chemicals used In their dis- trict llkely to cause fires. This was in response to an in. cident in Madison in which .several persons were killed in a fire because firefighters ar- rived on the scene and did not know how to treat a particu- . lar chemical. . "Universities were included In this bill, at no small cost to the state," he said, "because we believe so strongly In the need to protect students." Other benefits to Parkslde would include ambulance and police services, as well as garbage pfek-up. "I believe very strongly that (annexation) would be a very positive beneflt to stu- dents, as well as to this insti- tution that I care very much about, " said Barca, who re- sides 1'h miles from campus. "So I would hope that you would in fact reconsider this resolution (opposing annexa- tion) and reverse your posi- tion." The resolution also stated that PSGA was joining Chan- cellor Sheila Kaplan In oppos- ing annexation. Barca said that his conversations with Kaplan have indicated that although she has some can. cems, she does not oppose the venture, but supports it. In a later telephone inter- view, Kaplan said that she never took a stand in opposi- tion to annexaton, and that, In fact, PSGA never asked her what her position was. "We want to look more ex. tenslvely Into the impllcations of annexation," she said. • 'U It would be good for the unI- versity, and if the Town of Somers and other parties in- volved are not negatively im- pacted, then we should seri- ously consider it. IJ Somers F.D. offended by Barca by Amy H. Ritter News Editor The Somers Fire Depart- ment apparently took offense to comments made by State Rep. Peter W. Barca here Nov. 20. Barca, In delivering a speech to the Parkslde stu- dent Government Association (PSGA) supporting the an- nexation of Parkside by the City of Kenosha, said that the university could better be served by Kenosha's full-time fire department than Somers' volunteer fire department. PSGA President Alex Pettit said he was contacted by off!· Congrats College Bowl Winning Wargamers! cials with the Somers squad who Invited him to tour their facilities to illustrate their competence. Pettit said he and/or Jan Kratochvil, a PSGA senator, wllI tour the facility Wednes. day, Dec. 2, and Invited a Ranger reporter to attend. According to a Nov. 25 artl- cle in the Kenosha News, members of Somers Fire and Rescue squads appeared at a Nov. 24 meeting of the Somers Town Board to pro- test the annexation. David Holtze, Somers Town Chairman, said the board is evaluating the issue. "We still don't know the full lmpact," he said. Town attorney Robert Kendall was directed by board members to research annexation laws and report to the board In early December. A meeting between City of Kenosha and Town of Somers representatives to discuss the possibility of annexing Park. side will be held Dec. 8 at 5:30p.m. In a Nov. 29 article, Holtze told the News the suggestion that Kenosha With tts 24.hour fire department could do a better job than Somers' voi- unteers is "a slap in the face." 2 Thursday, December 3. 1987 Ranger our view Roaches, rodents require responsible action -'It 18 not easy to put in stories in the paper each week and lIBten to the wrath of students, faculty, staff and ad- ministration when the stories are not popular. The impor- tant lhtng for the reader to remember Is that the Ranger does not make the news. It just reports It. In our last issue, there was a story concernIng the cock- roaches and rodents In the Union butldlng. Many thought- that It was sensationalist to run It on the front page and to headline It as It was. ThIs Is shortsighted thinking. It Is clear that readers are not Interested In when com- mlttees meet and what they diseuse. U the readers were concerned about the meetings. they would attend them. U that particular story had been run on page 6 referring to the mundane business of the committee. very few readers would know about the seriousness of the cockroach prcb- lem and very UtUe extra would have been done to correct the problem. That approach was taken and we were told that we were added to a lIBt of people who had com- plalned. With almost IlO percent of the Segregated Fee money lIOing to the mortgage. upkeep of the Union buUdlng and salartes of some of Its employees. It la imperative that 8tUdenta are aware of what their money is providing for them. U thla story had been burled, who would have known? Some of the nay-sayers clalmed that the cockroach sttu- atlon was well In control after reading the paper. yet the day before the paper hit the stands. roaches were sUll evt- dent In the Union. Since the story hit. the roach control- lers have hit the Union hard because no one wants to stay away. No one wants to lose business In these already hard Urnes. The roaches are now under control. It meant increasing the.vlalts of the pest control man. It meant spending some money. but the Union butldlng Is being taken care of now and presents a more appeaUng picture to Its patrons who. tor a IILrge part. are also Its benefactors. Student money la well spent when It provtdes all stu· dents with a place we can be proud of. and even when It means that an unpopular. unpleasant topic Uke cock· roaches has to be discussed, It will be worih the wrath to see that there la follow·through by the responsible parties. -----Lefters------ Student leaders should lead Tuition waivers draw support To tile EdItor: Your November 19th edi- torial entitled. "MInority stu- dent walvers honorable but unreal1Btlc," mlased the real problem of UW System presl· dent Kenneth Shaw's pro- posal. Your basic argument against his proposal was that It would hurt "those students who are In the majority and could lead to additional flare. ups of racism." Three times In your editorial you stated that students of color would be vtctlms of white students' anger if the plan were adopted.

Security Parkslde campus Pollce and backup by Kenosha County Sheriff. 2. Fire Protection Somers has equipment rang. Ing from grass rigs, tankers. pumpers and an aerial. Fire- men are thoroughly trained by certified Instructors of the State plus regular scheduled training. All this la done on their own time (no pay). Somers also has two (2) "Jaws of Life" complete with all the attachments. CIty of Kenosha has one. 3. Ambulance Servtce _ Somers has three (3) vehi- cles, City of Kenosha has three (3) and one (1) reserve Most of Somers' EMTs ar~ certlfled EMT-Ds meaning they can deflbrllate In cases of cardiac arrest. CIty of Kenosha - EMT only. The Paramedic program talked about will be avatlable to all county units. not just the city. Besides regular scheduled training, our EMTs attend a refresher class every two years and are certified In CPR every year. Somers belongs to Mutuaf Aid Box Aiann System (MABAS) which enables us to draw any type of equipment and manpower from com- munities In Racine County to northern illinois In the case of an emergency. Somers also has signed mutual afd agree. ments with our neighboring communities.
