Serrano,near the end of 1 campus lour, brought In- ational handouts to the torsabout United Council its function. Describing UnitedCouncil as a "non- t service and advocacy ration, 'owned and oper- by students," the hand- included information on organization's platorm what it has accomplished studenls. At the meeting, Serrano questioned .by PSGA sidentalex Pettit-concern- the operation of United ell. Peilltraised the issue of a lble Increase In the dalory refundable fee l, the fifty cents each t pays per semester to be represented by united Counefl. The MRF In total constitutes the entire United Council budget, Rumors have been ctrculattng throughout the system schools ·that this amount Is scheduled to In. crease. "I don't see United Council . as ever raising Its fee," Ser-' rano stated. "Because of the process that's built-in, it would take so long, and be- cause of the political arena that we are In, 1 don't see us raising the fee." Before Serrano became- president, a complaint was filed by three former mem- bers of United Council's staff with the Equal Opportunity Commission alleging sexual harrasment in the form of .dtscrtmtnatton and differen· tial treatment based on sex. Serrano stated that he has an appointment with an attorney to review the matter. The complaint will be discussed at the January UC meeting. A third concern Pettit raised revolves around the Adrian Serrano United Council's lack of of Implementation of the Stu- dents Taking Action AgaInst Rape (STAAR) project for which they received a $20,000 federal grant. The under- standing the federal govern- ment had with UC was that United Council would match the federal funds, thereby creating a total of $40,000. ,The grant was given to have 13 campus volunteer coordinators and one state- wide coordinator to organize, traIn and implement a pro- gram to asstst victims of sex- ual assault. the program never got off the ground an6 the money was spent. Serrano told the senate that a repay. ment program !las been worked out with the federal government. "The administration of the Victims of Crime (VOCA) was very much mislead, as much as the general assem- bly was, as what was going on with ST AAR financially. Because of that, he doesn't want a big issue made of this, so he was worked out a very reasonable payback sched- ule," Serrano sald. "I can't remember what the numbers are, but It is scheduled to be paId back by the end of the year. As far as I know, we haven't had any problem making the payments." Serrano went on to allay concerns about United Coun- cil's operating budget prob- lems. "I know there have been some rumors floating around that we have not been able to make payroll and that I was spending all the money on travel visiting the campuses and going all around the country. We have never pay. roll. J anua;y, the beginning of Fedruary and September are the tough months because the payroll is paId out of the MRF, and we get all of our money right at the beginning of October and the mlddie of February. Before we receive the money, the fund gets pretty low, but we have made payroll every time and we are on target with all our debts." Information concerning United Council's operation Is available through the PSGA . office located In the 0-1 level of the Wyllie Llbrary·Learn· Ing Center, near the Coffee Shoppe. ourof Somers FD affirms Senate's position Doug McEvoy e of the most controver- Issues at Parkslde lately been the possible annexa. of the campus to Keno. . Peler Barca, the State resentatlve for this area a strong supporter of th~ exaUon. "I think It's very Impor- lant,not only for the bniver. , but for the city of Keno. , that they are' able to ex this land," Barca ed In an earlier Inter. ;:;"With the f!.anger. After g the Somers fire de. t ment , the Parkslde Stu- IPSG~)vernment Association felt that the annexa. Is definitely not just for lbgoodof the campus, but er SOlelyfor the good of nosha.

"Officially we can't take a stand on the Issue as a de- partment except to say that we feel we can serve Park- side's needs more than ade- quately," Krause comment- ed. ' .Barca insisted that the quality of service Parkslde should receive from Kenosha Is better than that of Somers. He felt that the' Somers fire department Is Inadequate to serve a complex as large as Parkslde and the annexation would bring an additional $400,000 to $700,000 In state revenue Into the city of Keno· sha. One of the maIn Issues dts- cussed between PSGA and the Somers departinent was . that of response time. Once an alarm has been sounded at Parkslde for a fire, the Somers response time Is only 5-7 minutes to Kenosha's re- sponse time of up to 15-20 minutes. This difference can be crucial, especially if a fire were to start In the dorms. Their wood construction and thin walls leave them espe- cially susceptible to rapid spread of fire. Kenosha'S re- sponse times may change upon completion of Its north· side station. Barca claimed that the fact that the Kenosha department Is a full·time department . means that It Is better equipped to serve the needs of Parkslde. The Somers de- partment claimed that quite the,opposlte Is true. liThe tanker at Somers can carry up to 1000 gallons of water and Is capable of un- loading the entire amount In only one minute. If neces- sary," Krause explained. Kenosha has no such tankers, and relies entirely on the hy- 'drant system. Somers also has two off-road four-wheel drive vehicles for combatting grass fires. The Kenosha de- partment has no such vehi- cles. The paramedics In Somers are of a higher classification than those In Kenosha. They are required to be re-certlfied every two years, which en- tails being up to date on all new procedures. The mutual aid box alarm system allows Somers to draw upon other fire depart- . ments for ald. If the Somers department found themselves In a situation that they could not handie alone, they would initiate' the first alarm, then the second, then the third, and so on. Each time they would contact a group of local departments, drawing oh the nearest stations first, until In theory they would ,,"ve. enough equipment to manage the worst Imaginable sttua- tlon. The system does not draw too much support from any one station so as not to disa- ble them from responding to other calls. Kenosha has not yet officially joined with Somers In this system. Currently, the Somers fire department has a direct com- municatlon system with Parkslde security. They are able to be told exact sltua- tlons In the case of an emer- gency and are escorted by the campus pollee dtrectly to the scene. -When a call comes in from the dispatcher, beepers go off on the belts of the vol- unteers. Those in the immedi- ate area go to the station and bring the equipment to the scene, .where those who wer~ not In the area at the time will meet them or will be waiting for them. On the Iowa "lerage, Somers would respond to a call with 12 men to Kenosha's six. Somer's high average is 25 men. Somers would respond to a Parkslde call with. one aerial, one pumper, two tank- ers and a rescue unit. Should more be requtred they can bring In two more pumpers from their second station. IJ the incident were to inVOlVE hazardous matertaIs, they carry a book on how to treat various emergencies involv- Ing hazardous materIals at all times. They also have accees to a company called Chem· track for additional asslst- ance .

Each of the student areas has been prepanng their budgets to present them to the committee. Each area wlll no doubt offer Its members the opportunity to evaluate the budget before It Is presented to SUFAC. The Union building bears the burden of being the area with the largest financial support of the students. Last year, $284,941 of the $763,101 Segregated Fee budget went to support the Union. It Is vtlal that as much student input Is given to the budgets of the Union as possible. ThIs Is the time to have the Parkslde Union Advisory Board (PUAB) exhibit Its unique ability to evaluate the Union budgets and make pertinent suggestions before SUF AC sees them in order to afford students as much representation as possible in the declslon-m&!<lngprocess. Havtng a prtmary student group examine the Union budget before It goes to SUFAC Is not only our responsl .. bUty, It Is our right. To'lbe Editor: I read with great Interest the opinion stated in the Dec. 8rd Issue of the Ranger. I am referring to the article on an- nexatlon. WhUe I do not know enough about the politics of annexation or the financial benefits received, I do know somethlng about the benents- /drawhacks of an increase in fire and rescue protection. Having spent six years with a professional fire and rescue department as a FIrefighter FIrst Class/Paramedic I feel that some of the etatements make by the EMT-D from Somers Volunteer FIre De. partment were not quite cor. rect; furthermore, I feel It Is my responalbility to point out these discrepancies. I want to begin with the statement "Most of Somers' EMTs are certified EMT-Ds meaning they can deflbrltate in cases of cardiac arrest." ThIs statement Is very mts- leading to the general public. Most people are unfamiliar with the terms of cardiac ar- rest or deflbr1Uation. . C&rd1ac arrest is a cessa- tion of the heart muscle to pump the blood throughout • • issue the body. It also means that the lungs are not exchanging the gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) as they would nor- mally do. In the case of ven- trlcular flbr1liatlon (a symp- tom of cardiac arrest) the heart's electrical system Is not flJIlctlonlng properly. By deflbr1liatlng, the rescuer Is provtdlng an outside source of electricity to try and "jump start" the heart back into Its normal rhythm. If this Is sue- essM, the next step Is the administration of cardisc drugs, such as lidocaine or bretylium. When these drugs are not administered the chance. of the patient re-de- veloplng the ventricular fl- br1Uation rhythm Is extreme- ly high. An EMT -0 cannot admlnls. ter these cardiac drugs' and, therefore, Is only provtdlng a fraction of the treatment that Is called for. If the rescuer Is not successful in converting the patient into a life sustaln- gin heart rhythm, they wlll simply deflbr1Uate again and again. Each time the heart Is deflbr1liated there Is a certain amount of scar tissue formed and severe damage done to and Ranger :Ir------:~---------------------------~----------~:i your views J. Annexation the heart muscle. At the same time the lactic acid Is building up to lethal levels and other cardlsc drugs must be administered to prevent this. What I am trying to point out Is that the EMT·D Is only provtdlng care one minimal step above the EMT-A, lind in certain cases can actually do more damage to the heart muscle than good. When I was trained as a paramedic one fundamental point of treatment was f'if you can't do any good, don't do any harm". All EMTs have to undergo refresher training periodi- cally, so the statement that "our EMTa attend a refresh- er class every two years and are certified In CPR every year." is again very mislead. Ing. She Is Implying that the Kenosha Ftreflghter /EMTs do not undergo thls same type of training when It Is in fact state mandated. The issue ·of response time mentioned by the EMT-D from Somer's also has very amblgiJous undertones. The response from Somers' sta- tion has two major draw.

Finally, I would like to say that there Is a need for more research In the area of bene. fits/drawbacks to this annex. atlon. However, I would like to say that a volunteer fire department system Is good If no other system Is avaUable. But, in thls case, there Is an. other system available.
