Mandatory arrest for domestic abuse includes roommates by Kelly McKissick New9 Editor Students on campus may be facing more than just a black eye or bloody lip as the result of personal confrontations. Under a newly-implemented state law, individuals will face a mandatory arrest in cases of domestic abuse. Wisconsin Act 346 was put into effect on Saturday, April 1. It is not an easy law to interpret, but clearly points out the removal of an officer's discretion in cases of domestic abuse. According to David Ostrowski, director of Campus Police, the law has positive and negative aspects to it. A charge of domestic abuse can only be used after an assault- related crime has been committed. This category includes "intentional infliction of physical pain, injury or illness; intentional impairment of physical condition; first through third degree sexual assualt; or a physical act, or a threat in conjunction with a physical act, which may cause the other person reasonably to fear imminent engagement in the (aforementioned) conduct," as stated in Act 346 The domestic abuse charge results in a mandatory arrest of the aggressor. "Domestic abuse becomes an enhancement of that crime," Ostrowski said. "It does not increase the penalty, its purpose is to identify and address the issue of abuse between two parties." Domestic abuse can fall under two categories. The first is a situation in which abuse is being inflicted on an adult under the category of spouse, former spouse or adult relative. The second is a situation in which abuse is inflicted upon an adult by an adult with whom that person resides or formerly resided. "That's where we get into the situation of college roommates. The idea behind writing the law in that particular language, in my opinion, is to cover people who are not legally married," Ostrowski stated. However, it also applies to individuals living together in academic situations, even those of the same sex. He provided the example of two men living together in the Residence Halls as college >ave Ostrowski Campus Police Director freshmen. They do not live together in any of the following years. If the two individuals become involved in a physical fight in the Union as seniors, battery has occurred. If Campus Police officers estabability." Ostrowski said it complicates a lot of situations on campus. "What would ordinarily be a push and shove case between two roommates now becomes a crime in the State of Wisconsin," he explained. If one aggressor cannot be determined in the situation, if both parties committed a crime, Ostrowski said both parties can be arrested. Another complex facet to the new law is a contact prohibition, which prohibits the aggressor from coming in contact with the victim for a 24-hour period after the arrest has been made. "Essentially it states that the victim has the right to have the suspect avoid the residence or premises temporarily occupied by a victim for 34 hours," Ostrowski said. The victim has the ability to waive the contact prohibition John Kehc According to the new law, officers are left with one decision in cases of domestic abuse: arrest lish that the individuals once lived together, it also becomes a case of domestic abuse. "That's probably where things become a little gray in a college campus situation. The arrest decision is no longer at the discretion of the officer. The law states that the officer must arrest the aggressor and take him/her into custody if probable cause has been established that a crime has been committed," Ostrowski said. "Many law enforcement officers are concerned about the fact that discretion has been removed completely from the officers' at any time. The intensity of the situation increases if the aggressor violates that contact prohibition. Ostrowski explained that if this situation occurs, the crime for which the aggressor was initially arrested immediately becomes a felony. The ramifications of the contact prohibition can potentially upset living conditions at the Residence Halls if a charge of domestic abuse is brought against roommates. Ostrowski said he hopes to change the contact prohibition clause for the campus, See Arrest, page 4 Vol. XVII, No. Prof scam bashes higher education system by Bill Serpe Is Charles Sykes, author of Profscam, the Salmon Rushdie of Academia? A twentyone year veteran of the tenure system dubbed Sykes with this moniker in reference to the professoriat-bashteach at least 12 hours a week and that UW-Madison Chancellor Donna Shalala refuses to directly answer questions concerning that issue. Sykes said his harshest criticism came from people who had not read his book. Profscam charges that professors. "For too long there has been a religious faith in higher education." -Charles Sykes ing Sykes accomplishes in his work. "I'm not surprised," Sykes said. "There seems to be a personal intolerance among the academics to critics." Sykes has made himself their critic by writing a book that suggests we take H. L. Mencken's advice that "anyone who really wanted to improve the universities should start by burning the buildings and hanging the professors." In a recent telephone interview, Sykes, a former editor of "Milwaukee" magazine, said he felt most academics were going to dismiss his book altogether. Instead, he "gets letters everyday from senior professors who are enjoying the book." Reviews in the New York Times and other major newspapers have been very favorable. By writing this book, Sykes had hoped to force higher education to look at itself and as a way of helping parents to be more consumer aware. "For too long," he said, "there has been a religious faith in higher education." He had also hoped to get a national debate going about the priorities of higher education. He talked about Wisconsin state representative Larson's bill to require professors to generally speaking, not only do not like to teach but that they are openly hostile to anyone who does teach. Sykes cites that four of the last five teaching excellence award winners at Harvard have been denied tenure. "One professor said that the book (Profscam) was potentially dangerous and should never have been published," he said, but feels that "the problem is so large and so visible it is impossible to ignore forever." Within the pages of Profscam, Sykes relentlessly gives evidence of the disintegration of the university system. When asked about the preponderance of examples of poor teaching, teaching assistants who do not speak English, and research publication of little or no value, Sykes said, "It's not my normal style to cite so much evidence, but in Profscam I wanted to pile up as much as possible." Sykes explained that he had not spoken against the fine arts as he had against the humanities, the hard sciences and the social sciences because he had not had much experience in that area.

Profscam attacks professoriat of today 2 Thursday, Apr. 13, 1989 Ranger Guest editorial New registration policy is for the benefit of all Included in the Fall 1989 registration packet is an addendum identifying a series of changes being implemented at Parkside concerning course registration. These changes include the blessing of the Director of Advising for a student to enroll in more than 18 credit hours, mandatory attendance in all classes or notification of the instructor of absences in advance lest the instructor drop the student from the course, and the ability of the instructor to drop a student from a class if he/she has not completed the prerequisites for the course. While for many these will not have a noticeable effect, there may be cause for alarm or irritation on behalf of both student and instructor. Regardless of your participation in higher education, should you find yourself spontaneously reacting to said changes as negative strictly because they require increased effort on your behalf, reconsider your reaction: their implementation is the lesser of t wo evils. In the summer of 1988, the Board of Regents passed legislation to require all UW System campuses to have no higher than a five percent student course drop rate. Simply stated, this number represents a five percent reduction in overall class enrollment at the end of the semester compared with the beginning. In the event that a drop rate in excess of five percent exists, the Regents mandate a review of existing add/drop standards conducted internally and reported to the Regents for potential action. This guideline is to take effect this Fall. could reduce this number. Parkside has one of the most liberal add/drop structures in the UW System: a student can drop a class unconditionally as late as the eighth week, add a course unconditionally through two and conditionally through eight, and, in extreme cases, conditional add/drop exists up through the last week. Most "We have enjoyed a tolerant policy... we must pay the piper if we are to continue to do so, /est we lose the privilege " ___ -Ross Pettit The date for calculating drop rates are obtained by taking a "snapshot" - a summation of the total sectional enrollment of every course - two weeks into the semester and at the last academic week. The end of semester total is subtracted from the two week snapshot, which is further divided by the two week snapshot. This decimal number is the percentage of decrease (or increase) in the course enrollment. At the time of the aforementioned legislation being approved, Parkside had a 5.7 percent decrease in course enrollment which, if the policy had been in effect, would require Parkside to review its add/drop policy to propose changes in the policy that UW campuses consider the four week drop/two week add period as excessive. We have enjoyed a very tolerant policy, but as the winds of change are now blowing, we must pay the piper if we are to continue to do so, lest we lose the privilege entirely. By deciding to enforce this legislation a year after the date of passage the Regents gave each UW campus a "grace period" to attempt resolution of excessive drop ratio before the mandates took effect. The Academic Policies Committee at Parkside met late last Fall to identify potential "weak spots" in current registration/enrollment guidelines to attempt solution of the high drop percentage through these outlets versus an outright revision of the campus add/drop policy. The revisions in the registration packet are the proposal they developed to address the problem. By limiting course enrollment, it is hoped that students will use more objectivity in selecting courses for a semester by requiring extra effort to enroll in higher course levels. This, hopefully, will discourage mass over-enrollment by students leading to drops in the third to eighth weeks of the semster, thus contributing to a higher drop percentage. This requirement does not prevent students from enrolling in 18 or more credits, it simply makes it less convenient, the goal being that only those students serious about attempting 18 or more credit hours in a semester will seek this approval. The removal of a student from a course for failure to attend a class may raise animosity within both student and faculty alike; however, consider that Parkside has one of the lowest (if not the lowest) student-to-faculty • ratios in the UW System, a fact that has come under scrutiny of news media in the past. This low ratio is a great asset as it facilitates student/ faculty interaction versus the separation that is commonplace at large campuses. Unfortunately, many do not exploit this opportunity. Requiring student communication with the instructor in the event of inability to attend will ideally provide one method by which students and faculty can bridge the intrinsic gap between them. The final change, the ability for a student to be dropped by the instructor because of failure to meet prerequisites for the course is not an inconvenience. Many faculty members waive prerequisites should a student seek instructor consent beforehand. Bravo to the Academic Policies Committee for an objective policy modification that both directly addresses the problem and not an overreaction to an issue in a situation where such behavior would be detrimental. These changes will, we hope, reduce the drop percentage a significant amount and therefore not require the overhaul of the current policy that we all enjoy and benefit from. While these inconveniences may cause irritation, weigh the increased costs with the alternative: loss of the flexibility we now enjoy. The time has come, indeed, to pay the piper. Let's hope this payment appeases his appetite. by Ross Pettit If hindsight is 20/20, Wingspread is a worthwhile investment To the Editor: This past academic year I was selected to participate in a very special program Parkside is involved with: the Wingspread Fellowship Program. For those of you who may not be familiar with it, it is a program in which 13 universities in Wisconsin and the Midwest chose students to attend local, national or interantion-. al conferences, all taking place at Wingspread in Racine. The selection process for new Wingspread Fellows takes place once a year, and the nominations for this year have already started. My term as a Wingspread Fellow will last through August, but I would like to take this opportunity now, during the recruitment and selection process, to share with the faculty and the student body what I experienced as a Wingspread Fellow. The Wingspread Foundation is, above all, an educational institution that strives to maintain a reputation of excellence. At each conference, I was surrounded by a degree of scholarly excellence which reinforced the importance of education, heightened my appreciation for education and emphasized my lack of education. Intimidating? Yes, but that's life. It was priceless for me to be able to witness current issues being debated and information being exchanged. The participants of the conferences are the innovators of our times. They toss around the ideas by which policies are made, although it is not at every conference that deciRosemarie Cucunato sions can be agreed upon. When the debating rounds were over and the bells rang for dinner, the personal level started, and I enjoyed myself the most. At each of the conferences, Wingspread would take care of the dining arrangements. Besides providing gourmet cuisine, this was the chance to meet and talk with the conferees. There is one conversation in particular which I wish to share, because I think it sums up the attitude of the conference participants and the atmosphere of Wingspread very nicely. I was talking with a very impressive woman lawyer working for the Ohio state government. We were talking about life struggles and experiences, good and bad. Then she stopped for a minute, smiled and said, "No matter what goals in life you have or what you achieve, always remember who you are and the opportunities you've been given." I wish to express my gratitude to the Wingspread Foundation for funding this program and giving students the rare opportunity of attending these conferences, to Dr. Lillian Trager for nominating and sponsoring me for the program and to Dr. Willie Curtis a very special thanks, for his work and devotion which insures Parkside's participation in the Wingspread Fellowship Program. by Rosemarie Cucunato Wingspread Fellow EDITORIAL STAFF Jon Hearron Editor-in-Chief Kelly McKissick News Editor Kellie Paccagnella Asst.

To the Editor: I would like to applaud the advent of the new special-interest dorms. The mother of this brain-child, Cynthia Isetts, is deserving of a serious accolade. I feel such a housing set-up will have many advantages and help all of the campus residents to grow personally and live harmoniously in a spirit of brotherhood and peace, and hey, isn't that what college is all about? I am looking forward to the day when sutjh a project begins. Finally students will be able to live in an environment which nurtures their development, such as the art dorm, the 70's music dorm (where appreciators of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and Aerosmith may listen to their favorite bands without visiting a museum or offending those with taste), and the snob dorm (this has certain entrance requirements of course). R.J. Reynolds may even sponsor a smoker's dorm. A homosexual dorm would alleviate such tensions as those experienced this past fall, and ease the burden on counselors who have to quell the unrest. Perhaps most important of them all is the haircut dorm. This would provide a haven for anyone with dyed hair (preferably black), a pony tail (the latest fad), spiked hair (yet another outpost of the passe'), or other such variations on his or her locks and tresses. This seems to be the interest with the strongest lobby, as evidenced by all the posters currently displayed on campus. Here's hoping we all have our interests served on a special- interest dorm platter! Love or what you will, Hamilton Chetwinde In response to a response...cross debate To the Editor: The following is an open letter to Mr. Bill Horner. Dear Mr. Horner; In response to your rather virulent rebuttal of my letter, we are in total agreement on one point: my opinion was uninformed - but not intentionally. Until Assistant Chancellor Goetz's article appeared in the same issue of the Ranger as my letter, I had no idea what the dilemma was concerning the pool, though not from any lack of trying. I regularly called to find out when the pool would reopen only to be given the same pat answer: nobody's sure, call back in a week. Each week I read the Ranger but no mention was ever made of the complications being faced by the Administration. Finally, out of frustration, I wrote a speculative letter based on previous experiences with pools that were not well maintained. It turned out that the delays were caused by an inept contractor. If these problems had been made general knowledge, as they should have been, my letter certainly would have had a different flavor. Although this contractor, and the people responsible for hiring him without thoroughly checking his credentials, could be included as part of the "maintainance staff" per se, I did not specifically do so in my letter. If I pointed too harsh a finger at the engineering staff, I hope that they will now accept my sincere apologies. As to the intelligence Mr. Horner, the concept is very subjective; what you would consider to be intelligent, I might not. For expample: I don't think that it's intelligent to rebut an argument with blind attacks on the author's personality rather than by trying to discredit his or her (admittedly scarce) evidence - you obviously do. Finally regarding expertise; I will continue to maintain that my rather unique upbringing around pool facilities qualifies me, perhaps not as an expert but certainly as an informed amateur, on matters regarding their maintenance. In comparison, you cite an impressive but rather ambiguous list of construction jobs and you are now a student assistant to the Facilities engineer, which gives you possible insights into how these positions affect the pool - none of which you displayed in your letter. Sincerely, Don Hill Student, Swimmer and Radical-a t -La rge P.S. Since the pool is open and presumably functioning properly again (which was my sole concern originally), I propose we declare the debate a draw since it is fairly obvious that neither of us will concede the other's position.

He hopes to have it changed to enforce no direct contact with the victim. "For instance, if the aggressor and victim have a class together, we would say that the individual who was arrested would not be able to attend class the next day. However, if they pass each other in the hallway, we do not know how that would work through the clause," Ostrowski said. DeAnn Possehl, director of Residence Life, said the contact prohibition clause "will definitely affect us. Over the course of the year, we've had a number of roommate conflicts, ranging from someone throwing an object to pushing or shoving. We have also had a couple of situations already where the law has been enacted in the Residence Halls." She explained that the 24- hour contact prohibition can cause problems with roommates. "Our current occupancy level is that if we have to find them an alternate place to live, we have some John Kehoe Fighting roommates will find themselves in handcuffs under the new domestic abuse law. open spaces. Ostrowski hopes that students will look at the new law and weigh out its consequences before releasing their anger on another student. Possehl said she explained the law to residents with roommate conflicts prior to its enactment so they could see that their actions would result in an arrest in the future. The law will also be included in the Residence Hall student handbook.

Dreger is new Aux. business manager by Kellie Paccagnella Asst. News Editor Recently Parkside acquired a new Auxiliary Service Business Manager, Mike Dreger. Dreger started his new job on March 2. Dreger's primary responsibilities will be overseeing budgets and keeping records for Auxiliary Services. The Auxiliary Services Dreger will be in charge of includes Child Care, the Union, Student Health Services, Student Activities and Organizations, as well as Housing. In addition, Dreger will be working as a financial analyst, reviewing projected expenses. Dreger will also be working closely with Housing, revising and reviewing their budget. Dreger feels the job will take a great deal of work but he feels it will be a challenge.

Dreger graduated with a BBA in financing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee in December of 1988. While at UW-Milwaukee he worked as the Union Budget Analyst for five years. Dreger feels his job at Parkside entails more responsibility due to the fact that he is in charge of several operations. "At UW-Milwaukee the individual operations were so large that they were responsible for themselves. Here at Parkside, I am in charge of several operations that I would never have had the chance to be at UW-Milwaukee. That's a big responsibility, and a real challenge," he stated. Dreger hopes to soon complete the transition from UWM to UW-P and begin to organize ideas into programs.

Smoking will be banned in all buildings except residence halls and students unions. Under the new rules, which were recently approved by the Faculty Senate, the residence halls and the Wisconsin, Allen, and Debot student centers would be exempt from the smoking ban. The Faculty Senate is also scheduled to vote on a proposal to ban alcohol from all dorms except Baldwin and Hyer Halls, where most upperclassmen reside. All students in the remaining 13 dorms, even those of legal drinking age, would not be allowed to alcoholic beverages in their rooms. Most students receive Fin. Aid. About 1 in 3 University of Wisconsin System students received a share of $223.4 million in financial aid last year,, reported the Milwaukee Journal. Out of 161,887 eligible students some 58,255 were granted financial aid. The average financial aid package rose $262. The $223.4 million was divided among $122.5 in loans, $78.3 million in grants, and $22.6 million in work study assistance programs, according to a report to be reviewed by the UW Board of Regents. According to Fred Poellnitz, UW System vice president for business and finance, the total federal, state, and university assistance was 5.6 percent more than the aid awarded last year. Madison hosts freshman forums Until now, freshman at the University of Wisconsin- Madison have had little choice but to listen to professors from a distance. Recently, eminent professors have held forums with freshmen, reported the Milwaukee Journal. E. David Cronon, dean of the College of Letters and Science, suggested the freshman seninars and recruited retired faculty to teach them. Unfortunately, there is a limit of 15 students to a seminar. With only 9 seminars available that means only 135 students can enroll in the seminars. Reid A. Bryson, emeritus professor of geography and meteorology, feels the seminars are an excellent opportunity for both students and professors. Bryson claims he would rather teach freshmen than upperclassmen or graduate students. "They haven't been pounded into a mold yet," Bryson said.

The slide lecture will compare the housing, landscape and materialism of the lives of novelists Dickens and Thackery through pictures and discussion. Ranson will dress as Dickens for the public reading, which will feature excerpts from "The Trial from Pickwick" and "Nicholas Nickleby at Mr. Squeer's School." Dickens often gave public readings, where he reached a popular compromise between narration and impersonation of his characters. He often modulated his readings to the David Ranson type of audience, adding deleted material and even commenting on his own performance. Dickens' own annotations in his reading copy, memoir notes and newspaper accounts help Ranson to recreate the excitement that was part of these public readings. p.m. in Comm Arts 128.

"Wowl Now Ed an d Carl are gone.... Seems like lately we've been dropping like ourselves." By GARY LARSON It's almost over so don't blow it! It's almost over so don't blow it now! For many students this seems to be the most critical part of the semester. This is especially true in classes where instructors include material going back to day one on the final exam. Even if a final isn't cumulative, your anxiety might be up just because the semester is winding down and lots of things are coming due. Jean Zimmerman of the Learning Assistance and Counseling staff put together a booklet entitled "Organizing for week's column I suggested that you plot out on a calendar your exam dates, work hours, and other commitments. Then mark down specific study periods. If it doesn't look like there will be enough time for effective studying, shift some of your commitments around, assuming school is a priority. Cramming for tests is not likely to result in success. While there are some who claim that cramming is the only way they can study before a test, in the long run it's not the preferred method for truly learning material. But sometimes life just happens to work out so that you absolutely have to cram. In such cases keep the following in mind. • If you have to cram, accept the fact that you cant study everything in your notes and textbook. • Mark off in your notes and in your text the material you are most willing to bet will be on your exam based on what your instructor has told you. • Write this selected material on sheets of paper. • Prepare catchwords or phrases to recall the material and then memorize the points through repeated self-testing. • Time permitting, review all your notes or skim your text to reinforce points you've already studied. Don't try to learn new concepts in the final moments. If you want more information on any of the material presented in this Counselor's Corner you can schedule an appointment to see Jean Zimmerman in the Learning Assistance and Counseling Office, WLLC D-175. But don't wait until the last minute. -Oh yeah? And you donl stinki You never did and you never will, you mama * little roier Since you asked...

And what she has to say is especially timely. Her suggestions may be helpful as you prepare for finals. • As to what to study, Jean suggests looking for key terms, their definitions, and examples that clarify the meaning of terms. These terms may be a good part of the foundation material for the course. • Look for lists of items (enumerations) found in class and textbook notes. Jean says that these lists are often the basis of essay test questions. • Pay special attention to points emphasized by the instructor or in the textbook. If a phrase such as "the most significant" or "of special importance" or "the chief reason" precedes some content matter it's a good bet that material will appear on an exam. • Devote time to reviewing areas your instructors have advised you to study. In-class reviews are also likely to cover material which directly or indirectly may appear on a final exam. • Consider your past tests and quizzes and any tests at the end of textbook chapters. Sometimes instructors go back to these when developing their final exams. As to how to study, Jean suggests a technique she calls "effective memorization" through which you take your well organized study materials and repeatedly test yourself on the materials to be learned. Through this method, memorizations and understanding reinforce one another and the desired outcome — learning — has occured. Maybe. There are those who contend that study conditions have a lot to do with how successful you are in studying. Having a positive attitude, specific study goals, a good place to study, and being in good physical condition all set the tone for getting the most out of your study time. Jean also suggests that you vary your studying (e.g., 50 minutes on history then a 10 minute break, another 50 on math, then another 10 to relax, and so on). Finally, when you study is also important.

There is help... The adult children of alcoholics by Sandra Riese Who are the adult children of alcoholics? There are an estimated 27 million children of alcoholics (ACOA's) in this country. The problems of growing up with a chemically dependent parent are far-reaching and many people feel the effects well into their adult lives. Once these children of alcoholics reach adulthood they experience problems related to trust, control and expression of feelings. Many no longer live with the alcoholic or drug dependent parent but find their adult lives unmanageable because of the heavy emotional involvement they continue to have with the family. Others have been made aware through their current experiences that alcoholism has left them with scars which still hurt and negatively affect their marriages, dieir relationships with friends and children, their self-esteem and their sense of family life. Some characterists of adult children of alcoholics are: • They are often loners and feel different from other people • They tend to judge themselves to harshly • They have difficulty having fun and take themselves too seriously • They have difficulty with intimate relationships • They are often approval seekers and fear personnal criticism • They often are attracted to people who are not there for them emotionally • They tend to focus on others rather than look honestly at themselves • They tend to be overly responsible • They have strong guilt feelings • Without intervention, between J/0-60% are in danger of becoming chemically dependent themselves. In recent years, there has been a sizeable increase in the number of adult children of alcoholics who are seeking help. To begin the process of recovery the adult child or co-dependent needs to admit that their parent is or was a chemically dependent individual and realize that this disease has affected and is still affecting them personally. Through education and support and insight the ACOA can learn that they are not alone, that they are not to blame for their parent's dependency. The process of recovery helps them to focus on themselves and their needs, and to begin to reach out to those that are close to them for perhaps the first time in their lives. Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings are held on campus Tuesday's from 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. in Molinaro D131. Other related support groups meet Mondays 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.- Alcoholic Anonymous and Wednesdays 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.-Narcotic Anonymous both in Molinaro D131. The role of parents... Academic success to be discussed "Mobilizing Parents to Promote Student Academic Achievement" will be discussed by a California education consultant Monday, April 10, at Parkside. Erical Ladawn Law, a former elementary school principal, will discuss ways parents can work with their children and the schools in maximizing student achievement. The free public lecture will be held at 7 p.m. in Parkside's Union Cinema Theatre. The lecture is part of the Second Annual Cooperating Teacher Recognition Program, a program designed to honor teachers who have participated in Parkside's student teacher program. A reception, hosted by Parkside Chancellor Shelia Kaplan, will follow the lecture. Law has worked Reginald Clark, a nationally recognized educator who has studied the effect of parental involvement on student academic achievement with particular emphasis on minority populations. In 1985, Clark and Law headed the "Pasadena, California School-Home Relations Project," a bi-lingual program to assist teachers in developing collaborative strategies for students and parents. The program included structured parent-teacher conferences, a series of six parent information workshops and the development of "family friendly homework calendars" designed to incorporate family activities with school work.

News Editor Do you feel safe at Parkside? Is safety just a woman's issue? What can yo do to assure your own safety? These are a just a few questions that will be discussed at a forum entitled, "Personal Safety on Campus." The seminar, which is being sponsored by the Sexual Harassment Committee, will take place on Monday, April 17, at 1 p.m., in Union 104. Frances Bedford, chairperson for the Parkside Sexual Harassment Committee, believes that the strongest measure of prevention is education. "Education is primary preventive measure in safety, we hope this seminar will help inform people around Parkside," Bedford stated. The Sexual Harassment Committee at Parkside is comprised of nine members from the University community. If you believe you are a victim of sexual harassment, contack Linda Andrey at the Affirmation Action office, Tallent Hall, room 269. All complaints brought to the attention of the committee will be kept confidential. •FROM THE PROFESSIONAL TO THE DO-IT-YOURSELFER, WE OFFER SERVICE" AUTO & TRUCK PARTS AMERICAN & IMPORT SUPPLIES • ACCESSORIES • TOOLS • NEW & REBUILT PARTS r-C0MPLETE AUTO MACHINE SHOP SERVICE— ENGINE REBUILDING • AIR CONDITIONING PARTS DISC BRAKE REPAIR • CYLINDER HEAD & VALVE WORK OPEN DAILY 8 A.M.

This is only one of the charges against the professoriat of today made by Charles J. Sykes in his new book, Profscam. What the professors have destroyed is the university and the quality of undergraduate education. All of this, according to Sykes, is the result of the "... they wield the moral authority of 'Academic Freedom' tike a mighty engine of destruction." . -Pr ofscam, Charles Sykes post-war baby boom and the American dream that everyone should have a college education. As admissions standards are lowered, professors move away from the classrooms and the illiterate new students, thus creating the dawn of teaching assistants, huge class sections an'd the hands-off policy towards professors. Add to this the "publish or perish" syndrome established by the professoriat to weed themselves out and you have the academic PAB's seven-band challanae.. This Friday: Battle of the Bands '89 by Kelly McKissick News Editor Are you ready to rock and roll this Friday? The second annual Battle of the Bands is ready with seven acts from up-and-coming area groups vying for a performance spot at Summerfest '89 Mark Thompson, Live Entertainment Committee chairman, said the event will be held in the cafeteria this year. The doors will open at 7 p.m. and performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. Two stages will be available so one band can set up while another is playing. Each band will play a y2 hour set. The bands involved in the competition are finalists selected from an original list of twelve applicants. "The response to the event has really been good this year," Thompson said. "The bands that will play this Frday are really good; it will be a lot of fun." The seven finalists are as follows. Open Wound, from Parkside, plays hard rock music. They have some original songs mixed in with top 40 music. Xpress, from Waukesha, plays top 40 music including Cheap Trick, INXS and Van Halen. Moriah, from Parkside, is a Christian rock band already in the recording circles in this area. They play original music. The Danger Cats, from Parkside, played music by the Ramones and the Vapors on their demo tape. Euphoria, from Parkside, plays original hard rock songs. Sky Watcher, from Parkside, plays mostly top 40 music. They include a song by Cars in their performance. Cosmic Validator, from UW-Milwaukee, plays a unique version of original progressive rock music. Several judges have already been selected to choose the Summerfest-bound band. They include Bob Babish, who is in charge of booking entertaiment for Summerfest; Chuck Might, an entertainment columnist for the Racine Journal Times, and Mark Krueger from WQFM radio station in Milwaukee. Runners-up in the competition should not be too disappointed; the second place band wins $200, the third place band takes home $100. Thompson thinks that the event will be a success. "We got a lot of promotion out to the area schools ahead of time. The response has been really good," he said. The event will be dry, meaning no alcohol will be served. Tickets are $2 for Parkside students with ID and $3 for guests. (P PaiK&ioe Activities Boaio village of today. Sykes levels his charges primarily at large universities, with Harvard and the University of Wisconsin-Madison taking the brunt of his indictment. He tells, one after another, the horror stories about the undergraduate class sizes numbering into the hundreds, and how these classes are left at the mercy of graduate students and teaching assistants while the professoriat has locked itself away doing research. When it comes to research, Svkes notes the titles of undoubtedly questionable published material, among them: 'Evolution of the Potholder; From Technology to Popular Art", "Women's Shopping: A Sociological Approach" and "A Linguistic and Pedagogic Exegeses of Some (Jieng) Dinka Tongue Twisters, Riddles and Song and Dance Games." "Profspeak," the language of the academic village, according to Sykes, "is a direct Root Hoq or Die... product of the culture's Triple Imperative of Obscurantism- ...they (professors) can make even the most trivial subject sound impressive and the commonplace observation im- > measurably profound, even if the subject is utterly insignificant." While reading Profscam one gets the feeling that Sykes gets redundant. However, what seems to be a rehashing of an already stated idea is, in fact, a new angle at which he corroborates the charges he is making. This book should make anyone who reads it angry: students, when they realize that what they had expected about being shortchanged is true; parents and taxpayers, whose dollars go to support a system where sicktime is added up by the class hours missed rather than the days away from the job; and finally the professoriat, when they discover that they have been caught with an accumulation of evidence against them that is very impressive. Music doesn't always have to be serious DISCovery by Chuck Might Music doesn't always have to be serious, and some of the best musicians have taken a humorous approach to it. A recent addition to this genre is a new album by MOJO NIXON & SKID ROPER entitled "Root Hog Or Die." This album is hilarious from beginning to end, starting with "Debbie Gibson is Pregnant With My Two Headed Love Child," through a tribute to "Pirate Radio," on up to the final cut "She's Vibrator Dependent.'' The funniest parts occur on the song "Chicken Drop" which- describes an unusual betting pool which takes place on a huge piece of plywood, complete with imitative sound effects courtesy of the horn section. Another highlight is a version of Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Lapd" in which we are introduced to an ideal society called "Mojo World." The underlying style of the album is horn-based blues, and the musicianship is of high quality, but this record never takes itself too seriously.

The AWOL offense could manage only nine hits in 14 innings of baseball against the Flames, with Don Keller getting one of only two Ranger extra-base hits with his first collegiate homerun in the third inning of game two. That was all the Rangers would get through, as they let opportunity after opportunity go by. The nightcap saw Parkside strand nine runners, six of them in scoring position, throughout the contest. At the other end of the spectrum, game two saw the Flames make good use of their opportunities as they scored four times on only six hits against starter Jeff Lemmerman and reliever Dennis Oakley. Crucial Ranger errors added to their misery as two of the UIC four runs were unearned. Offensively, the Rangers were on the verge of breaking out, but a pair of two-out, bases loaded strikouts closed down rallies in both the third and fourth innings. Parkside's women take second in outdoor meet by Jeff Lemmermann The Parkside women's track team finished an impressive second last weekend in outdoor action. Becca Scott keyed the Rangers with sprint victories in both the 100 meter and 200 meter with times of 13.3 and 26.3 (into the wind). The 200 featured a one-two Ranger finish as teammate Yolanda Finley was edged by Scott in a time of 26.5. Finley won the 400 meter with a time of 60.4. Also winning for the Rangers were Nancy Marter in the 800 meter with a time of 2:20.5, and Jilleen Pfarr in the 1500 at 4:52.5. Paula Stokman and Amy Kampf finished second in the 5000 and 3000 respectively, while the Ranger relay squad of Lori DeBJieck, Marter, Pfarr, and Finley placed second in the 1600. The men, who were in action in Beloit last weekend, had three runners winning. Dan Peterson won the 3000 meter Steeplechase and finished 3rd in the 5000. Pat Kochanski won the 800 meter and followed with a 4th in the 1500, while Mike Nelson won the 500 for the Rangers. Netters lose a close match to Carthage by Jeff Lemmermann The men's tennis team played a pair of matches last week, losing a tough one to Carthage while playing to a 3- 3 tie in a shortened match at UW-Stevens Point. Against Carthage, the Rangers fell behind early as Joe Barrette and Jeff Stanich dropped their singles matches in the number one and two spots respectively. Brian Chike got one of those losses back as he took a 6-4, 6-7 (5- 7), 6-2 Decision from Carthage's Craig Niebler. Andy Callahan was beaten in three sets, but both Dave Harris and Scott Schuliet won in straight sets as the teams finished tied after singles play 3- 3. In doubles, Carthage took control of the match with straight set wins in the one and two doubles as Callahan and Stanich were beaten 2-6, 3-6; and Barrette and Chike dropped their match 0-6, 4-6. Harris and Schuliet avoided the doubles sweep by winning in convincing style 6-1, 6-2 at number three doubles. In unofficial matches against Carthage, Andy Hay dropped a tough two set match 6-7 (5-7), 4-6; while Kirk Noha won easily 6-0. 6-1. In doubles, Noha and Hancock combined on a 6-2, 6-3 victory. Against Stevens Point, only the singles portion of the match was completed as the Pointers had failed to schedule adequate court time. Barrette opened at number one singles against Point, and he took a 6-7 (5-7), 7-5, 6-3 decision. Stanich and Callahan, playing at number two and four respectively, lost two set matches, but Chike evened up the team scores with a 7-6 (9- 7), 6-2 win. The teams split the final two singles matches, with Harris losing in three and Schuleit winning in three for the tie. The teams opened the doubles portion of the match, but were forced to suspend play after completion of the first set in all three of the doubles matches. Baseball squad bounces back in double-header dual against MSOE by Jeff Reddick On Saturday the Parkside Rangers baseball team took on M.S.O.E. at home in a double header. Which featured the Rangers taking both games in what was a welcome offensive charge in sup- Port of some rather effective Pitching. In the first game Parkside pitchers Darrin Pluskota, Doug Langendorf, and Jeff Fenrick combined for a five hit shutout in the 5-0 win. The offense was again powered by Brian Gauthier who went three for three including a double and a long homerun, while driving in two. The second game turned out to be a slaughter as M.S.O.E. put on a rendition of the Keystone Cops in the field, committing six errors while the Rangers scored a 15-4 victory in a slaughter rule shorted five inning game. The top three in the order scored nine runs with Doug Londo two for four with three runs scored, Hall one for four, with two runs and two RBIs, and Armand Bonofoglio three for three, three runs and four RBIs. The bottom of the order set the table for the top as the last three men in the order Star Dietrich, Tony Bonofoglio, and Jeff Lewis each scored twice. Pitching under very loose conditions for the first time all year, John Hagen picked up the win while allowing only one base hit. George Doome finished up for Hagen and got his first work of the season. Game one saw a beautiful pitching performance by Steve Leonhard go down the tubes as he went the distance in allowing only two runs on three hits in six innings of work. Circle starter Keith Lichteustu matched Leonhard though, giving up only a single run in the sixth. On the day, Lichteustu allowed just four hits while striking out seven. Only three Rangers reached second base on the day as Parkside dropped the opener 2-1. For the day, the only hitting highlights were Keller's solo homer in the nightcap, and a two for two performance by Dave Rebro in game one. Leonhard, whose record dropped to 1-1, gave up only one earned run in six innings of work. Lemmermann, the loser in game two, also dropped to 1-1 on the season as the Ranger overall mark dropped to 2-7.
