Jesse Jackson ignited a crowd of over 2,000 angry workers and concerned citt- zens Tuesday (Feb. 2) during a noon rally held at the Chrysler plant. Jackson was on the scene to show his support and feelings on the announcement by Chrysler to close its Kenosha plant, phasing out 5,500. jobs by September. Citizens anxiously awaited Jackson's appearance, al- though cheering responsively to several introductory speak- ers, including Kenosha Mayor Eugene Dorff and United Auto Workers Local 72 Chair- man Rudy Kuzel. Jackson's message was one of incitement. ..Don't you surrender," he said. "Don't you bow. If they say cut back, you say fight back." Jackson, a Democratic presidential candidate, made reference to the financial as- sistance the government granted Lee Iacocca to save Chrysler when the company went bankrupt. "We bailed out Chrysler," Jackson asserted, "Now Chrysler is gonna bail out Kenosha. Bail out these work- ers! Bail out these workers!" Among the many signs and banners floating above the cheering crowd was one that read, .,Ayatollah Iacocca-· What's the difference?" .'We keep hearing about the millions of dollars that will be lost" if Chrysler stays in Kenosha, Jackson said. "But what about the 5.500 traumatized households? The children? The senior citizens and their security? "Stop putting profits over people," he demanded of Chrysler. "Put America back to work. - "Workers, don't you give up. A people divided wlll never. survive." . Presidential candidate Jesse Jackson spoke wilh • group of workers at the Chryslerplant last week. Channel 12' gets students' reaction by·Amy.H. Ritter News Editor Three Parkslde students hit the airwaves Thursday (Feb. 4) as part of a special televi- sion broadcast titled . 'Keno- sha Fights Back" at 6'30 p.m. on Milwaukee's Channel 12. Reporter Dennis Dean In- terviewed the students wed- nesday (Feb. 3) to gain in- sight on the perspective of Kenosha's youth in reaction to the closing of the Chrysler plant. This move will elimi- nate 5.500 jobs in Kenosha by September. "It's a mood piece," Dean explained. "We wanted to as- certain the mood of Kenosha. We wanted to talk to young people who may be around, or may not be around in the future. College students are looking more toward the fu- ture than are, say, high school students. " The 1'" minute pteee fea- hued shots of students aggre- gated in Lower Main Place, walking down the hall on L-1 outside the library, and parts of three interviews with stu- dents on Main Place, of seven interviews that were filmed. One freshman, when he dis- covered he was among the students filmed travelling though the hallway. became greatly animated and told his friends, l<I'm on TV!" The interviews aired re- flected hope for Kenosha's fu- ture despite the economic strain of the Chrysler pullout. "For the first couple of years it will be bad," said Becky Matoska, a junior majoring in history, "and then it might start picking up, especially if they keep bring- ing in other corporations. Then it wlll pick up after awhile. " "At first it's gonna be tough," said junior Mike Oldni, "but' you'll notice there's a lot of optimism in the community--if you read the papers--that Kenosha can pull through. And I think it can too." "1 think in the long run, it's gonna have a good effect on Kenosha's economy," said sophomore Mike Bishop. When Dean asked Bishop why, he explained, "It seems like Kenosha's. been preoccu- pied with AMC and Chrysler. and they've forgotten about the small businesses. They provide a lot of employment in Kenosha. "1 think this wtll force photo by John KIftOe Holly Shamshoin, a ;unior communication student, wes Inler· viewe~ by Channel12s DennisDean. Kenosha's leaders to remem- ber the small businesses. It will force them to try and at- tract new business to Keno- sha." "Kenosha. 1 think. should survive," Matoska concluded. Her father and brother are among the workers who will. be laid off. Other students whose Inter- views were not aired were: Bobbi Jo Slater, freshman; Kevin Johnson, freshman: Thad Jensen, freshman; and Holly Shamsholan, senior. ---------------~ 2 Thursday, February 11, 1988 Ranger I our views Activity hour vital to student life on campus Thls week the entire campus is involved in an annual event Wlnt~r Carnival. The event was kicked off with a parade down the concourse at one o'clock on Monday. All along the parade route were crowds of students. faculty. adminlstrators and staff cheering as the spectacle passed. Throughout the week there have been many events. most of which have been taking place during the one o'clock activity hour. It is refreshing and el<h1laratlng to see the enthusiasm of those students involved. It would be a ahame to throw a wet blanket over this kind of team play. It could happen soon. The faculty senate will take the Issue of eliminating the one o'clock activity hour at its meeting next week. The hope of these faculty members is than an additional class. hour can be added to the day by making this change. The apparent feeUng of the faculty members who are propos- Ing the change 18 the low number of students who par-tiel- pate In the opportunity to be Involved In clubs on campus does not warrant lhI8 time to be used for activity, but should be used as a class hour Instead. Monday'S parade proves lhI8 theory wrong. The volley- ball round-robin proves lhI8 theory wrong. The parttctpa- tIon In the belching contest and tricycle race all prove this theory to be a gross Inaccuracy. JIany students who must leave campus by three o'clock to go to work have no alternative than the one o'clock ac- tivity hour to participate In extracurricular activities. Faeulty anlcker at past lack of Involvement of students OIl lhI8 campus. They have students slotted as apathetic. Our on·campus houalng has changed that complexion quite a bit. To do away with the activity hour now Is a real slap In the face to all who have tried so hard to en- courage participation on lhI8 campus. Don't let the activity hour go by the wayside.

U such an action Is laken, I must remind you that It is a violation of the shared gover- nance merger law. n Is my belief that !he ac- tivity hour Is essential to our commuter campus.
