Gary Grace the public up-to-date information on the graduation rates of athletes and other students attending postsecondary institutions. According to Gary Grace, Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs, the bill originated from two different bills that had different motives, which Congress and the National Collegiate Athletic Association had been debating for the past two years. "The two bills have been merged together," said Grace. "The first bill concerned athletes believing that universities were using students and were not committed to education. The second bill concerned information about campus crimes." "Students Right to Know Bill" required colleges and universities to disclose the graduation rates of all full-time degree-seeking students. Schools with athletic scholarships also must report graduation rates of athletes in football, basketball, cross country, track, and all other sports. According to the bill, schools must provide this information to prospective studentathletes as well as their parents, high school coaches, and guidance counselors. This part of the bill goes into effect July 1,1992. The bill also states thact olleges and universities must report all violent crimes against students during the past year, even if an incident occurred offc ampus.

The 33 -year-old suspect was charged with one count of false imprisonment while armed with a dangerous weapon. bill also provides the victims with the right to learn the outcome of any disciplinary hearing against them if accused of a crime. This part of the bill takes effect on July 1,1991. 'The federal bill is currently being put together by the Department of Education in Washington D.C.," stated Grace. Grace believes defining the many different policies in the bill will be difficult and will "raise all kinds of issues." He believes applying the policies to the different kinds of institutions will be important and difficult to identify. He also raised the importance of presenting the data with explanation. Grace believes that all data must be followed by information defining the data received. "Defi- - nition without interpretation is dangerous. It must be explained." Grace has appointed a UWParkside Task Force that will be responsible for gathering information that needs to be disclosed to students, identifying how to collect the necessary data, and recommending methods and publications for disseminating the necessary information.

Page 2 Editorial March 14,1991 "DAMN REPUBLICANS HAVE O UTDONE US AGAIN!" From the desk of the Editor * A lot of people—and many of these are students at this time of year— visit Cancun. For quite a few it's a first visit; for others a return trip. Most will come away elated with their experience; some will be elated just to get away from their experience. I was one of the latter. This editorial is notmeant to condemn the whole ofC ancun, nor to implyt hat every visitor is guaranteed to have a baedx perience cm- two. But since a number of UWParkside students are travelling there this March, sharing my experience there may point out some potential problems that could arise. I will have accomplished my goal if what potential problems that could arise. I will have accomplished my goal if what I say helps someone avoid a run-in that could ruin an otherwise delightful time. Rude people, rotten food, obnoxious taxi drivers, and a dirty atmosphere. These are all characteristics of one of Mexico's vacation hotspots, Cancun. The people in Cancun can speak fluent English until you have a probelm, and then they can only understand Spanish. They also use bait and switch tactics all the time. The first morning I was there, I went to a "welcome" orientation at the hotel. There was an opportunity to sign up for a dinner cruise, and the cost was $49.00 each person. When I signed up later, the cost mysteriously went up to $55.00 per person. The bad thing about this is the price was raised without anyone being told. The next instance was at breakfast, when the host told me it would cost 18,000 pesos for breakfast Well, when the bill arrived, it was priced at 27,000 pesos. When I went to the waiter to complain, he suddenly forgot how to understand English. Then it was time toc all home to tell them I had arrvied in one piece. I couldn't use my calling card, because finding a pay phone in Cancun is like finding a needle in a haystack. When I inquired at the desk about making a phone call, they told me it would cost at least $45.00 for three minutes. Well, after ten minutes of research I found out they didn't know what they were talking about, and I was able to call for about $7.00. Later on in the day, I was by the pool listening to some Mexican rock-n-roll and catching some sun, when I decided to order a soda. When the waitress brought my soda, she said it cost 5,000 pesos. I gave her 20,000 pesos and she only gave me 12,000 back. I brought the discrepancy to her attention, and she admitted to me that she didn'tknow how toc ount when itcame to giving change. After all, it waso nly 3,000 pesos ($1 ), but I figured after already getting ripped off at least a half dozen times, this wasn't going to fly. Finally, after arguing with the manager for ten minutes, I received my 3,000 pesos back. While sitting by the pool, a gentleman by the name of Manuel stopped by and asked if there was any interest in a snorkeling trip. So for a nominal fee, an excursion was set up for the next day. Upon arrival at the dock, I caught a glimpse of the boat that was being used for the trip. It looked like the boat from the cartoon series "Clutch Cargo and PaddlefooL" We were supposed to get a nice red snapper dinner at the end of the trip, but needless to say, it was cold and rotten. After the great snorkeling trip, I tried finding a grocery store. Well, after geting the same directions to the only store in the area from five different people, I asked a taxi driver to drive me there. When we arrived, there J Continued above From the desk of the Editor Continued from below wasn't a grocery store there; it had burned down about six months ago. The taxi driver then took me downtown to a grocery store, and I was in the store about five minutes before walking out. I wouldn't give that food to my worst enemy. Another incident happened that gave me a negative opinion about Cancun, but I'll share one final one with you. I traveled with a companion via a water taxi to the island of Isla Mujeres. This was a beautiful island and I would have gone back but one incident left a dent in my feelings for the island and its people. I bought my companion a necklace for $25.00 from a little market on the island. I didn't have any cash with me, so I gave the gentlemen my charge card. He told me he had just opened up his business and didn't have a machine that stores use to process charge card receipts, so he was going to the next store to do it. Well, after waiting a half hour, he finally got back with charge card. I signed my slip and was on my merry way, I thought. This past week, I received my charge card bill with $500 of unauthorized charges on it. If they printed the truth about Cancun in all the travel books available, nobody would go there. It costs about five times as much to go there than the literature says, and it is five times a bad as they ysa. The area is highly dependent upon the tourist trade; if not for the tourists, poverty would be much more prevalent than itcurrently is in the Cancun vicinity. If this was supposed to be paradise, I would hate to see what the not-so-famous hotspots are like. When you go on spring break, watch yourself, bring cash or traveler's checks, and don't trust people farther then you can throw them. Have a great time, and I hope everyone returns safe and happy.

March 14,1991 The Devil's Advocate Opinion Ranger, Page 3 When you grow up you will understand by Donald R. Andrewski As a child, there were many times when I was in the presence of my father when he would ask someone that age-old question "Do infants have as much fun in infancy as adults have in adultery?" I would look up and ask "Dad, what is 'adultery'?" He would say "Don't worry about it. When you grow up, you will understand." I did grow up, and I did find out what adultery was. I can honestly say that I have no desire to suck on my big toeo r engagei n an adulterous relationship. So do infants have more fun? I don't know, but I think I understand. My dad was very active in our church, so I was brought up in a very religious family. Since my dad taught catechism and was very knowledgable about such things, I approached him with the question "Dad, why can't priests get married?" "Well", my father responded, "when a man enters the priesthood, he takes a vow of celibacy." Predictably, the next question was "Dad, what is 'celibacy'?" "Don't worry about it. When you grow up, you will understand." Well, I grew up and got married. And divorced. Twice. It has been my experience that within the confines of marriage, celibacy has never been a problem. So why can't priests get married? I don't know, but I think I understand. My father was a veteran of World War Two naval combat, serving aboard PT boats in enemy infested waters. As a result, he developed a deep appreciation of freedom and respect for peace. He taught these principles to me and my three brothers. Dad always taught us that it took a big man to walk away from a fight. As an eight year old, I discovered that big men get beat up a lot. After one such schoolyard incident, my father looked at my split lip, bloody nose, torn shirt and black eye. Grabbing my hand, he took me to the principal's office. The principal was less than sympathetic. "Boys will be boys," he foolishly told my father. "There is nothing that I can do." Looking him straight in the eye, my father replied "Well, there is something that I can do!" That evening my father introduced me to the martial arts. Jungle Judo. At least that's what he called it It was a killer form of self-defense that he learned in the Navy. Keeping true to his principles, dad only taught me the defense part of it, thus precluding that I would ever use it to start a fight. The lessons I learned that evening got me out of a lot of scrapes withoutpersonal injury and only whetted my appetite for more. I enrolled in formal karate classes and now hold a brown belt in Shorei-Ryu Okinawan karate. I intend to win my black belt by die end of this year. The most important thing that martial arts have taught me is respect for other people and only to fight in self-defense or the defense of others. This is merely an extension of the principles that my father has taught me all through my life. These are principles that I intend to pass on to.my six year old son. As I ponder the future, questions come to mind. Will my son learn to respect others the way my dad taught me? Will I bea s great a father to my son as my father was tome? I may never know, but when my son grows up, I think that he will understand. Parkside Student Government Association PSGA to lobby national politicians by Tony Finch PSGA Senator As you all know, or should know, it is election time. I am not going to fill this article with complaints about the lack of student invovement If you do not keep in touch with your student representatives then they do not understand any problems you encounter, then a vicious circle abounds and nobody wins. For Goodness sake, vote and understand the issues and the many excellent candidates running. This is the end of my lecture. Speaking of lectures, the United Council was at UWParkside recently. I again was representing Parkside with Shared Governance. Our committee was the first to get started and the last out The first thing discussed was the assesment test. We blew it; in the near future, all student in the UW-system will be subjected to a horrid three hour test after their sophomore years. As shared governance, we decided to lobby to make assesments of faculty readily available for students. As you al l know, at the end of each semester people who are taking classes must fill out an evaluation form about the teacher and class they are taking. A general majority of our committee felt that these assesments should be made available for all students to use in the case of planning course schedules and picking fac ulty advisors. The second thing discussed was the placement of students on committees in the different universities. In a broad sense, the main issue is student power, especially when it comes to cirriculum. Here at UW-Parkside, we are sending delegates to Washington over spring break to lobby members of congress on the reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965. The goals of our delegates, as well as delegates from the other UW campuses, is to help put pressure on the people in power to make the reauthorization fair. Included in thereauthorization is the balance of grants to loans so students can afford to attend college. Also, making aid available to middle-class students will be covered. I wisho ur delegatesl uck and I hope they lobby hard. On a final note, take part in this week's Safe Spring Break activities. It is important to have a good time, but do it responsibly so you do not have to do your partying six feet under. Have a fun^afe, (and warm?) spring break. PSGA wishes all students, staff, and faculty a safe spring break. Senate meeting minutes Called to order at 12:09 pm.

Ranger, Page 4 Opinion March 14,1991 Gabe's Gab Beach Party Dhahran on the day of the ground war by lw Sgt. Gabe '• * y ""»• f HH Kluka Editor's note: Gabe's Gab was Dated Feb. 25,1991. Greetings from the land of free postage! Well, at the time I am writing this, the ground war has started, and the liberationo f Kuwait has begun. Hopefully, this thing will be short and to the point, and we will be able to return home in the near future. Being an MP in a wartime Army is not the most dangerous job in the theatre, however, we do have our fair share of SCUD attacks around here, so I am not feeling too safe. Right now, we are hanging around in the vicinity of Dhahran awaiting orders to go up north and guard POW's. For those of you keeping score at home, the Sno-Slugs, who have successfully completed their mutation into Sand-Slugs, are still 100%. In the short time that we have been here, we have managed to begin the corruption of some Saudi Army MP's who we have been working closely with. We are teaching them some interesting American phrases, none of which are printable. Our Arabic is as weak as their English, but the language barrier has not been a problem. We have made some fast and true friends. Surprisingly enough, the weather has been very nice. It gets chilly at night, but by dayi t is warm enough to sunbathe. As I am typing this, I am nursing a sunburn on both sides of my closely shaved head. We sunbathe daily, and this ritual is called "Beach Party Dhahran". After we are relieved from our guard shift, we look at each other and say, "Beach Party Dhahran", and head up toe njoy the mid-February sun. It's almost too much foraMidwestemerto handle, but it's nice. While gambling is illegal, we have managed to start a little thing called "SCUD Bowl 91". It's a way to redistribute platoon money to the lucky soul who guesses what time at night the SCUD alert will gooff. All donationsare voluntary, and if the government doesn't like it, they can bring us up on racketeering charges. Sent to prison for running a SCUD pool, dubious indeed. Well, I wish I could convey all the sights ands ounds of thisc ountry to you in one neat package, but that would be impossible to do. However, the eeriness of prayer call at 4:45 am is the one thing I wish all of you could hear. The entire city wails as the numerous mosques throughout the city call the residents to worship. It is strangely medieval, but very beautiful. As a whole, we are anxious to finish this business with Hussein and come home. For now, we are relatively safe, and definitely safer than our troops who are on the front lines. We all hope that our fellow soldiers get the job done quickly, with as few of them not coming back as possible. Keep your fingers crossed. If you care to write our company in particular, the address is: ANY SOLDIER 822ND MP CO c/o 400th MP CMD (EPW) Operation Desert Storm APO, NY 09616-5000 Letters to the editor To the Editor: I am writing in response to the letters written by several students concerning racism on campus. My goal in this is to basically air my views, because I have some, and try to make sense of this situation. Prejudice is a word that can probably describe how I feel sometimes here on campus. It's not all the time, but sometimes. Prejudice to me is having anyone make a snap judgment about me though they have never met me. I've believed for a long time that I really can't dislike a person that I don't know if my heart is good. It ios nly maybe the externals that may bug me a bit It is likae father whol oves his son. He may not say it, and this may trouble me, but he shows me in other ways. Prejudice is not something that is one-sided in my belief. Sometimes I will be walking down the hall ands ee someone and thinkt hat they wouldn't like me, yet later on sometime we are conversing as friends. The problem with prejudice is that it never allows me the chance to step outside of my own shallow world and find out things about that someone else. I believe that racism exists at U.W.-Parkside, but I think it exists anywhere and everywhere. What can I do? This ias toughy. I usually try to set an example. If "I'm" known for being noisy, then I am quiet I like to have people second guess me because then it proves to me that anything is possible. My advise to the readers of my letter? Don't turn this issue into a war. We should air our views. I would like to see a panel discussion occur here on campus where people first handc an talk and listen to what each side has to say. I am biased but if I had a choice I don't think I would take either side. I would just think for myself and do what I feel is right. Myron H. Jackson. Misguided and Confused Anyone , who writes articles about things they don't understand is misguied and confused. Everyone has something to say about racist You can not know what my people have gone through until you walk in our shoes. Mr. Daniels is a black man, who has enlightened us all to the problem of racis m on this campus. This week I have experienced more than any one person can take black or white. I sat in class listening to the bookreports of my fellow students. It was my turn , I read a book entitled "The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim" , I told the class why I chose this book because it was interesting. Someone replied (a white student) because it hit home. I have never lived in the ghetto, so why was tihs said because I'm black. This week Ranger was the straw that broke the camel's back. The statements that were made lacked proof and depth. Someone stated "it was our leaders that sold us into slavery", many of my people were stolen from the only home they know. They wereb rought here robbed of their names, taught a new form of religion, and made to work in the fields. My people made this country and still are the underdogs. It was my people, who made work in the fields gathering cotton , tobacco and other crops. It was my people, who made the inventions that would revolutionize this nation but we are still the underdogs. Many must realize that blacks no longer a minority, but a majority and will no longer be the white's man underdog. We will now raise and become masters of lives and of the lives of our poeple that follow. It is time for the white man to realize that such raical satements should not be made. Name not withheld, But YELLED Kim Roberson To Sick and Tired: I'll tell you what I'm "sick and tired" of. I'm "sick and tired" of people like you ignoring the fact that racism exists. Let's just close our eyes and it (racism) will go away by itself . Right? I don ' t think so. And what makes yosuu ch an expert on African history? How do you know how rare iwt as for the Europeans to leave the "safety of their boat and venture into the interior of Africa?" Were you there? No, couldn't have been. On the other hand, maybe you know this because the story has been passed down in your family from generation to generation. I think you know what 14 m i mpl y i ng. To put things in your words, one must only listen to the rhetoric of David Dukes and "name withheld" (that's you), toin deed realize where the true racist attitude stems from. Don't worry, you're in good company . I guess you've done extensive research and found that Dr. King cheated on his research that got him the title doctor. Well of course you have. And shame on Jesse Jackson, using his position for personal gain, tsk, tsk. You are so right Mr . "name withheld " . How can we look up to these people? I would much rather idolize the great Rev. Jim Baker, or the drug king Elvis Presley, or better yet, the ever-so-truthful Richard Nixon. Now these are people to lookup to. To end my letter, I will not say that I am notaracist, because maybe there's a little racism in all of us. I have never had a problem with racism atParkside until now. These articles have gotten way out of hand. It's funny how the true racists start to surface when their position in society is threatened. Finally, to all those cowards out there.. J sign my name. Jackie Handford To the Editor: What good is having an opinion if you're afraid to take thecre dit for it? All letters to the Editor are strictly opinion. So at this time I'm going to offer my opinion to the six misguided, poetically inclined, blind, ignnrant fools; who took it upon themselves to destroy the integrity of Chris Daniels article. I would be ignorant to say that I was not bothered by the stereotypes that I was categorized under by the assumptions of a few Anglo Americans. It is obvious tome that Chris's article hit a sore spot within you because you charged back at him like a ravishinq beast who had not eaten for days. What gives you the right to educate me on the history of my people? All the knowledge that you have attained regarding Black History is simply hearsay from textbooks that were written by some Anthropologist or Professor that did a little misguided research. I am not concerned with the contents of a textbook regarding my history because I have Grandparents and Great Grandparents who have lived through this so called "HISTORY." So you oar ny other God fearing Anglo couldn't correctly tell me one damn thing about Black History that I too have not read in a textbook. You don't feel that racism exists because you are not willing to find out within your own self. Any fool knows that every single human being has prejudiced thoughts and feeling in some shape or form. I don't care if you're black, white, red, or blue it exists. There is always something out there that you have negative feelings about beforehand. We ve always known that racism was there but it has not been until now that we have revealed it within this school system. And now that we're taking a stand on what we believe in we're inventing a new phenomenon that Continued on Page 6 •March 14,1991 Spotlight Ranger, Page 5 Staff of the Bursar's/Cashier's Office Ranger photo by Sunni Beeck Bursar's/Cashier's Office by Tod McCarthy Copy Editor Education costs money. At UW-Parkside, student payments are made to the Bursar's Office. In the next several months several changes are in st ore for the Bursar's Office. Not only will they be moving from their current location in Tallent Hall, but they will be known in the future as the Cashier's Office. The new Bursar's/Cashier's Office will be located in the D-l level of WLLC and should lessen the need to make the long journey to Tallent Hall. The Bursar's/Cashier's Office is responsible for collecting, depositing, and accounting for all revenues paid by students to the university. They are the agents for disbursement of financial aid payments, such as student loans and the wide variety of grant s for which students qualify. Collection of NDSL/Perkins loans is also handled by the Bursar's/Cashier's office upon a student's graduation from UWParkside, unlike collection of Stafford loans, which is presently the responsibility of thelenderwho originated the loan. According to Kathy Wyler, our Bursar, she and her staff have experienced a default rate of no more than 2.93%, which is rather remarkable considering that many lending institutions have default rates approaching 25%. The high efficiency of our Bursar's/Cashier's Office is important to students in several ways. First of all, if a default rate exce eds 7.5%, a penalty is assessed, rendering the program less financially effective. Secondly, the funds available are a revolving fund, which means that if payments are not collected, a shrinking volume of money would result If old loans arenotcollected, new loan amounts will undoubtedly diminish. If a repayment program is inefficient, the policy guidelines of that program will have to be reset to increase efficiency. Stafford loans will likely have be subject to a different disbursement system by this next year. All checks will be held for a minimum of thirty days after the commencement of the semester for new freshman, and the hold period may apply to continuing students. Check with the Financial Aid Office for updates if you may be affected by the proposed disbursement changes. A month with an empty wallet can seem like an eternity. The Bursar's/Cashier's Office is also responsible for administering tuition remissions, which are a reduction of student charges based on an award from a particular office orfacetof the university. Anaward of this type can influence the amount of other forms of aid, and as Wyler noted, "All those things interplay together." The Bursar's/Cashier's Office serves as the university's bank. They are responsible for drafting checks for student employees. If travel expenses are forthcoming, if purchases are made or university invoices must be covered, the checks originate in the Bursar's/ Cashier's Office. Deferred tuition payments are also managed by Wyler and her staff. It is possible that mail-in payments may be allowable in the near future, which world make payment somewhat less timeconsuming and more convenient When in their new location, Wyler promises that the office will be set up to provide more of a customer-service type of system. A customer service desk is being designed, and the new system may remove some of the trepidation many students feel when they currently have business to takecare of. The Bursar's/Cashier's Office staff understands the sentiments of many students entering their office. "You're handing over your money. People aren't positive about coming over here," according to Wyler. One may tend to disagree with that position on financial aid disbursement days, though. The Bursar's/Cashier's Office hopes to be connected to the new university-wide computer information system by the Spring semester of 1992. The system will allow a daily records update, rather than the current weekly update under the present system. "I think it will streamline any payment or refund process questions a student has about their account," said Wyler. If the system works out as planned, her office may be able to expand services at some future date, though changes are not expected immediately after implementation. No staff reductions are planned due to installment of the system. The combination of a new records system and a more readily accessible location should benefit UW-Parkside students. The Bursar's/Cashier's Office and Financial Aid Office will be located in the same area of the D-l level of WLLC, so convenience should be enhanced by the move. We'll be looking forward to their arrival in June. Next Week's Spotlight: The Women's Center Ranger, Page 6 Opinion March 14,1991 Letters to the editor Continued from Page 4 we're using as a scapegoat to hide our true feelings. There's nothing that I hate more than a educated fool who hides behind closed doors when he's put his foot in his own mouth. But to all of you who were afraid to reveal your name it tells us all a little something about youA. coward can always find fault in someone else but when he's done wrong you can never find him. Name Yelled not withheld, Tirshatha Wilson Deep from within the skin The time has come for me to do the educating on this campus, supposedly designed for ethnic diversity. I am very disappointed with the approach that people have taken towards the articles that my " brothers and sisters" have written. There is nothing I hate more than a narrow-minded, ignorant, naive bigot or a mindless Caucasian who begins to stereotype my people. You can not begin to understand or comprehend the struggle that my people face daily to survive in the America that was stolen from us by you, and you call us separtist and rasist I would never call caucasions ignorant as a whole, but you who have so cowardly withheld your name, ignorance is just the beginning for you. You make statements such as, "You sound as if you expect us "white people" to change to help you, what have you done for me?" My people has done plenty for you. I hear a lot of my caucasion friends; in need of money, and running to the plasma donor center for a measley $ 15, which was made possible by Dr. Charles Drew, who was one of my people. With the minds of people like you who have chosen to write these articles, you could not make it from one end of the street to the other without the traffic lights invented by Garrett A. Morgan, who was also one of my people, Everyone likes to travel even the ignorant. Benjamin Banneker is the man responsible for remembering the construction plans for Washington D.C. off the top of his head. "What time is it?" you may ask, also without the brilliant mind of the black man Benjamin Banneker you may n ot have ever known, for he was the man who invented the clock. NOW YOU MAY NO LONGER ASK WHAT HAVE MY PEOPLE DONE FOR YOU! To Mr. Weber, who happens tobeaman with general prejudice, but has no excuse for it You made an excuse when you state d, "it is something ingrained in me from growing up in aprejudice society." What you fail to realize is you are no longer dealing with your little prejudice society or environment, you are dealing with a wide variety of people, and if you can not learn to respect others culture and backgrounds, then there is nothing more than ignorance within you.

GHOST Sff l lWE, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday Mar. 26, 27, 28 7pm Union Cinema $1 Students $2 others indeed are a racist to say, "this nation should allow racist behavior to continue as long as it doesn't injure anyone." What type of injury do you need? You have injured many with your racist article and bias attitude. Name Yelled not withheld, Cheri Foster To "Withheld" Take that hate log out of your eyes before you take the splinter out of mine. Pluck the seals of hatred out of your souls and minds and live in peace and harmony with your fellow men. "Names withheld upon request," you do our freedom of speech a great injustice by abusing your ability to wage war with your tongues and not your minds. "Nameless" people will say whatever their hearts desire, knowing they will never have to face up to anyone and account for what they say. Truth doesn't hide behind cowardice nor does it mock humanity. The nameless articles in the Ranger reek with stark hatred. I am saddened that such a strong emotion is stirred up just because Chris Daniels published his plight in the Ranger. Chris is not alone, for anyone who is not white, faces the backlash of certain white feelings of inferiority and intimidation for other cultures. Hence, there is the International Students Club, Onda Latina, BSO and MAC. The students in these organizations feel camaraderie and support each other. They know thatatleastwithin these groups they exist, are wanted and are viewed upon as equals. Here they are not just some unwanted abstract minority. I sympathize with the staff of the Ranger, who find themselves caught between a rock and a hard place. However, their policy regarding publishing articles without the writers' names should be viewed with skepticism. The Ranqer should have used finesse in printing the article which mercilessly defames Dr. King. Let's talk about the here and now. Dr. King is not here to defend himself, therefore let the dead rest in peace. "Nameless person", you couldn't even possibly begin to understand the strides Dr. King made for not only African Americans but the whole of humanity. He died fighting to free people from the shackles of bondage from a race who thinks they should be "Master". You have no right to spit on his grave, or to slander his name. "Nameless professor", you by far are the biggest fool of all. You hide your hatred behind your education. Knowledge hasn't set your mind free, it has only made you a covert bigot You hate women and blacks. So, whom do you like, crocodiles and hyenas? You do keep such good company. If a person wants to spend their money on hair jell and boom boxes and Air Jordan's, is that such a sin. You would deny people who have been nailed to the lowest rungs of the economic ladder forcenturies, such trivial luxuries. Take that hate log out of your eye. Cocaine and alcohol are evils introduced by the white man, to keep African Americans and other oppressed people in a downtrodden state. As for how long are you going to be held responsible? As long as there is injustice, which may be forever, because you are sowing the same seeds of hatred in the hearts and minds of the next generation, which your parents sowed in yours. You see, its a vicious cycle. You can choose to stop it, or to perpetuate it All my life, I've been told to do things the way the "Master" wants to. Everyday is white history month. Whether we like it or not, its shoved down our throats. So, it was a welcomed relief when some sensibleperson came up with Black History Month to celebrate the contributions of African Americans to the development of this country. Americans tend to go to far and exotic places to experience a different sort of culture. Well! We don't have to do that here at Parkside. Wearedi verse aren't we? I think only physically. There is no depth in our diversity. You see last year, when we had "An evening In India", no one from the administration came to learn about our culture. Are we just an abstract, cumbersome minority that gets in everyone's way or weren't we important enough? Last semester I wrote an article in the Ranger entitled "Open your Dosed Mind." The closed mind hasn't opened one iota. In fact the situation has gotten far worse. Until the administration of this campus, opens their minds and acknowledges that a deep racist problem exists on campus, I am afraid all we can do is abuse the Ranger by using it to express hate black and hate white sentiments. We don't need an outsider like Johnny Winston to come and tell us the whole system is geared towards the majority population at the expense of the minority. Neither do we need angry parents to complain to the Chancellor before insignificant steps are taken to squelch the problems at hand. I urge everyone on campus to "take the hate log outof their eyes," before it turns into a raging fire and consumes us all. Educate and expose yourself to the history and culture of Americans who are not white.

But sometimes civil responsibility must take precedent over personal goal attainment. I would 1 ike to resp ond to the three gentlemen who responded to an article written by Chris Daniel Thank you Chris for "smoking them out"; don' t stop, there are a lot more in that room. The three gentlemen did not sign their names so I will not be able to respond to them by name. So for the purposes of this article I will refer to them as Mr. K, K, and K; I will respond to them in the order that they were printed in the Ranger. Mr. K, in reading your article, "Sick and tired", I was convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that you are "sick", but I could not ascertain what it is that has you so tired. If it is us (black people) who have been working so diligently to keep the "ugly head of racism reared", answer me this -being the intelligent and perceptive person that you are - if you were riding in your brand new car, and your passenger kept trying to draw your attention to the rattle under your hood that, of course, you do not hear, and this happens time after time, would you pull into a service station to speak to the mechanic of these "preposterous accusations of your passenger?" I don't think so. And if it were eighty degrees outside, sun shining and a clear day, and people were passing you on your daily walk (you must keep your body as healthy as your mind) complaining about the rain that was pouring down, would you run for shelter or would you continue your walk? You Mr. K would continue your walk. Racism is not a figment of our (black people) imagination, or an illusion of our creation, and of that I'm sure you are aware. We did not imagine 13, policemen in Los Angeles, California stopping a black man for speeding and then brutally beating him. We did not contrive "60 Minutes" expose that found employment agencies coding applications, at the request of major employers, so that they would be able to later distinguish the ethnic origin of the applicants. This was not so that they might act affirmatively, it was so they could immediately disregard those applications of African- Americans irrespective of qualification. No Mr. K, iits not the black people who keep racism alive. When you are engaged again in the discussion of slavery, whether it be your current attempts to resurrect the institution or casual discussion of the "good ole days", please be aware that it was not tribal leaders who sold their tribesmen into slavery. Tribal leaders were "persuaded" to capture members of rivaling tribes. However, they had no conception of the type of institution thatEuropean slavery was. Africans were accustomed to a very different kind of slavery, definitely not one based soley on race. They did this (sold their countrymen) only to be betrayed and later captured themselves. The number of Africans taken by European force far exceeds that of those captured by tribesmen. Let me also inform you of why we honor Dr. King. You stated, "He cheated on the very research that gave him his title." If we honored people just for completing a dissertation you yourself could have a holiday. Wouldn't that be nice? In fact if challenged I could not tell you what his dissertation research was concerned with. But what I can tell you is that when riding a bus I don't have to give up my se at to YOU! Nor do I have to use separate washrooms (although I could see the benefit of this one), eat in separate restuarants, sleep in separate hotels, or be denied access to other "pursuits of happiness." You see Mr. K, it's the man, the movement, the civil achievement, the self sacrifci es (he gave his lif)e, and the monumental change he fought for and produced that we honor. His dissertation did not lead one march, write one speech, nor was it ever imprisoned. We honor his life not his title. I have spent too much time with the first Mr. K, I must move on to the second. Youaskedof Chris..."does it remind you of a kid who loses and gets mad and takes his toys and goes home.,.". This game is a fixed one. The kid lost because the rules constantly change, because he got his toys long after thoe ther kids got theirs, and because the score means absolutely nothing. I don't think that you are ignorant because you were bom a white male. I don't know why you are ignorant, but you are. Fear not, ignorance is simply being unaware, so it's not terminal, allow me to help. Both my parents also worked to raise a family. We were not "given" anything. My parent's sent four children through college without help from any of your "hard earned tax dollars." It was not until my mother died and my father was a victim of the Chrysler plant closing that I was eligible for any of your hard earned tax dollars. It wasn't easy but I must have really wanted to piss you off! You spoke of "Raiders" jackets, Air Jordan's etc.. Mr. K, of course it would be ignorant to buy those things if you didn'thavefood, clothing or adequate housing. We could parallel it to buying alcohol and drugs, losing your $150,000 house, your Mercedez Benz, your corporate job, and your family all for the sake of a habit. I must apologize for letting these problems escape from the "ghetto". Upon my second look I found that there were only two names withheld. Forgive me. I'll have to let Andrew Weber be the third Mr. K. You asked when is white history month. It is September thru June, K-12, in any school in this country. It is really a shame that we have this type of exchange through the school newspaper. If an institution of higher learning does not foster the type of atmosphere that will allow for "healthy cultural exchange", then where will we find it I am willing to participate. Are you? It's long overdue. Lorissa K.

Being an African American student at the University of Wisconsin Parkside, I have encountered a few unforgettable moments involving racism. For example, I remember walking into a classroom one day to find I was the only non-white student in the class. This wasn't a problem for me, but it was a problem for my white peers around me; one student even commented by saying, "There goes thec urve". How could I, being only one non-white student in the class, possibly mess up a curve? Give me a break! Right away this student showed me his ignorance and narrow mindedness by prejudging me. This student judged me by the color of my skin before he gave himself a chance to get to know me. This happens often, where students of color are judged by the color of their skin and not by the content of their character. Even some white falculty and , staff are guilty of racism. For example, some professors feel that since you are as tudent of color you are going to sit in the back of the cla,sroom, be a trouble maker, or just not come to class at all. Then when a student of color proves these theories to be untrue and try to participate in class by raisi ng his or her hand, the black hand is still over looked for the white one. The only solution to stop this ignorance and stupidity of racism is to educate ourselves of one another. On most campuses the need for education to stop racism has not yet been emphasized enough; not even here at the University of Wisconsin Parkside, where it is suppose to be a campus designed for diversity. All campuses need to start emphasizing and reemphasizing how greatly we need to be educated on one anothers backgrounds and cultures. Once we become educated we will have a much more clearer understanding of why we are who we ar, ebecome much more sensitive to one anothers feelings, become culturally enhanced, and will know that we can act natural around eachother. For example, I am also a student who lives on campus, one of my roommates who happen to be white had these silly myths that all black people were dirty, didn't like baths, and this is why our hair stayed so greasy. Before I became offended, I took the opportunity to explain to her the difference of the texture of her hair;a nd mine. I also explained to her the need for the hair grease in my hair. Now, she understands and she sees thatl bath daily just like she does, but I just don't wash my hair as often because there is no need to do s. Soee how educating eachother can be much more pleasant? In the past other solutions have been proposed. As far I can see, most still along the lines of education. For example, required culture classes, ethinic classes, and sensitivity workshops. Another solution is toeducateourchildrenatayoung age. Teaching them to love, respect, share, and care for all people. No matter what color yourself or others maybe. Still the only way to put a lid on racism is education. Remember, education is the key! In last weeks Ranger myself and other colleagues felt that the need for education is appropriate.

One person who decided to withhold their name asked the question why honor Dr. King. He or she need to be educated and so do I, because I often find myself asking a similiar question why honor Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington, these men who were all proponents of slavery. This person also feesl it is the Black himself who is responsible for racist attitudes. Again he or she needs to be educated. He or she is sadly mistaken. Black people have nothinq to be racist about, every time the Black man trys to progress and reach his highest, the "white man" knocks him down. And you have the audacity to say we're responsible for racist attitudes. My proposal is definitely education. I will try and educate myself on the different backgrounds and cultures of other people other than my own. I will continue to try appreciate and understand others feelings, although they maybe against me, this iss omething I will work hard to find out why people think and feel the way they do, so I can understand that individual. Treat a person the way you would like to be treated- Like most difficult problems, racism will not be solved or end overnight. So far, people have just been agreeing and pretending that their hearts are in the right place. Its time to wake up and face racism and stop pretending. Thes ooner we begin to fighitt , the quicker it will give in. Name Yelled not withheld, Yolanda Jackson To the editor, First, to thee ditor, sorry if you had to deal with any discrimination (which, of course we all "know" is only white male orinated, especially on this campus) duetomy response to Mr. Daniel'a rhetoric. I hope your courage isn't censured. Yes, Mr. Daniel's, I am back again, I'm the "ignorant" one of many, (your words not mine). I've given your topic some more thought You sound ungrateful for all the help social programs have tried to give the poor and disadvantaged paid for by working taxpayers (Yes I work and have paid taxes forfifteen years. Do you have a job Mr.Daniel's? Dark (Side)man?) If these programs Have kept your people down (Mr." Dark Side) why do your people continue to use and misuse the system? Why not just refuse the low income housing (like the projects in Kenosha behind Pick-and-Save which have been destroyed by whom? the white man?); welfare; food stamps; scholarships for students of color, and any other social programs (designed to help the needy)? I'm sure Congress could spend the money ons omething else that might benefit the people who pay taxes. Why don't you complain about taxes? Oh yeh, I forgot your deserving people don't like to work, therefore pay no taxes. How ignorant of me again. Maybe your "brother", who writes the other non-racist column in this fine paper, could advocate legalization of the drugs he so easily suggests should be sold by the under-privileged youths who drop out of school at an alarming rate (forgive me, I forgot again, that's my fault, too). But I guess then selling drugs would be like a job and "sheet man that wounn't be no good. I coun't blame the hoogie then!" (Yea, I probably mispelled hoogie (your word?), and everyone knows your people have been prevented from learning spelling and the rest of the English language). I hope no one thinks I'm a racist just because the words and actions of Mr. Daniel'ahave helped me reach a scientific conclusion about the rest of his people. That would be very narrow minded on my part. Not all blacks are like you Mr. Daniels. Are the successful blacks my fault, too?O r do theyg et to take credit for their achievements? Is it true that some successful blacks refer to impoverished non-trying blacks the same way Huck Finn did? And I guess it'a o.k. for you to call each other that, but a white man can't (See I told you I ain't so ignorant). Another question. How come a T.V. show like "In Living Color" can stereotype blacks and get away with it? Ia that different? Would a white show be treated the same? Anda re you trying tot ell me all blacks are not racist? Remember how I remarked that the U.S. ia the most exploitative country? Ask the American Indian about equality, justice, liberty and the American way! You might think I am against you Mr. "BY ANY MEANS" Daniel's. I'm trying to tell you something. Do you want to end up extinct or on a reservation? How much do you have to receive for nothin'? Did my ancestors who arrived at Ellis Island have everything given to them on a silver platter? Or did they have to work and make sacrifices to live comfortably? And on my topic of compensation. Who from Africa is going to compensate the innocent people who have contracted A.I.D.S.? Did A.I.D.S. not originate in Africa? I don't hear Hispanics or Mexican's whining who have come here to work and make a beter life for them and their families. They are grateful for a chance to be away from thatGod-forsaken place called Mexico. Instead of accepting welfare (which sociologist's complain keeps down the poor) why doesn't the government just give a years worth of welfare to every black who thinks this country is so bad and let them go back to Africa? That might be cheaper in the long run for all tax payers regardless of race. I hear that's a beautiful place to live. Is it South Africa where most blacks (or African-African's) are killed by their own racjeu st like in the U.S.? Lastly, no I didn't forget the feminist'a who think all men are pigs. I think all of you (refering to the last statement) are whores or just sluts if you aren't supported by a man. Have a happy break! Name Withheld To the Editor: In response to the personal add directed to Kevin Williams and Chris Toliver. We would like to express are thought's on why we cry so much, as you would say. First, we dont cry to the Ranger we give straight up fact's. Just because we dont sugar coat it to make you feel good, so what. We have to look out for number one, and thats the black people at Parkside and the one's in the world. Onece thats completed then will work with the blind and nieve. The brothers and sisters add flavor annd color to you otherwise lily white paper. We also get more responses on our articles. Nobody responses to Donald Andrewski ignorant column, it's always Chris Toliver, Kevin Williams, Chris Daniels, and Latesha Jude. If we didn't write in your paper, who would read it? Let's be straight up blacks have finesse in whatever they put their mind to. Were the best athletes, carpenters, inventors, scientist, and landscapes. Bet it when we say landscapes. If it wasn't for blacks you wouldn't have anyone to pick on. Admitted you love having students of color as you would say. Also our ancestors built this femal dog of a country that is being ran by the white man. Have fun now because when the year 2000 rolls around it's over. I might even be President. Toliver for President Finally I dont see how a white man can undestand the plight or problems of the blackman. "When is White History Month?" Open any history book fool. White history is every month of the year. Also, nobody crys as much as you guys in the sports department of the Ranger. Our team is terrible boo hoo! The weight room needs renovations boo hoo! It's no secret why the men's B-ball team was weak, they only had one black brother. We listend to your crys all year. We didn't say you guys cried, but when we write were cry babies. If you dont like what we write dont read it, BECAUSE YOU CANT KEEP A BLACK MAN DOWN. Oh yeah! rumor has it that the majority letter's to the editor concerning Chris Daniels were wrestlers. So instead of ending their letter with their name they end it name withheld. D COWARDS. P.S. Wrestlers we like to wrestle too but not with men in tights, but with women in lingerie. Your kind and mind, D Hill Billies. Ha Ha Cold Madina. P.P.S. Wrestlers we were informed about your racial slogan pasted on your dormitory door. Chris Toliver Kevin Williams Response As Editor of the Ranger I feel the need to note that some of the articles submitted for the Letters to the Editor section are not in accordance with staff sentiments. Yes, we also find many of the articles distasteful, but we feel the need to offer an outlet to all students, even if we do not agree with their opinions. We ask that you recognize distasteful, hate-oriented opinion for what it really is—ignorance.

Anderson back in goal for Dynamo By LEN ANHOLD Asst Sports Editor Since his graduation from UWParkside last spring, Ail-American goalkeeper Stan Anderson has been very busy with his career in soccer. Anderson has been playing club soccer and working as a Senior Account Executive for the Chicago Power of the NPSL until two weeks ago when he signed a contract with the Dayton Dynamo for the remainder of this season. The Dynamo are a member of the NPSL (Nation al Professional Soccer League) and are currently in third place in the National Division ,31/2 games behind division leading Milwaukee. Anderson, an NAIA Ail- American and 1990 Senior Bowl participant, was signed by the Dynamo in late February after their all-star goalie Carlos Pefla suffered a knee injury. Since being activated, Anderson has not seen any action, but should see some playing time tonight against lowly New York. Anderson and teammate Jim Chomko were invited to the Milwaukee Wave's training camp last summer but when head coach John Dolinski, now the coach at Dayton, was fired, Anderson and Chomko were not invited to return. Dolinski called Anderson two weeks ago when his number one goalie went down and arranged a contract for the rest of the season. Anderson's job at Chicago will be secured while he is playing with Dayton because of acontractual agreement with the Power signed before he left UW-Parkside coach Rick Kilps was very pleased to hear of his former players success. "I was really happy t o see Stan get this opportunity." said Kilps, "He's a great person and I really enjoyed having him here at Parkside. Stan was a team guy, a really hard worker and improved a great deal in his five years here."

Chicago Los Angeles Season a success for women By TED McINTYRE Asst Sports Editor No the UW-Parkside Women's Basketball team did not make it to the National tournament in Jackson, Tennessee. They did not challenge for the district 14 Championship, in fact they lost in the second round, but dispite the post-season letdown, the Rangers 1990-91 season was a great one, in fact the teams best ever. Posting a 14-12 record, .526 winning percentage, a Women's Basketball record, and earning the second seed in the District 14 tournament, this team played through a very tough NAIA schedule with focus and determination the entire season. Parkside faced a monster of a schedule in achieving its success. Ranger opponents included the University of Minnesota Duluth, which finished in the NAIA top 15. St. Ambrose which finished in the NAIA top five. Michigan Tech earned a spot in the NAIA National tournament. While these games all ended in blow-out losses, Parkside played other outstanding teams with more success. UW-Milwaukee, now an NCAA Division I school, was played right up to the last shot in a 78-77 Ranger loss. Just five days later the Rangers took on perrenial NCAA DII powerhouse St. Joseph and beat them 86-78 in overtime, the highlight of the Parkside season. That win did more than boost the Ranger's confidence as it knocked Sl Joseph out of the post season tourney. Parkside played good defense all season forcing 21 turnovers per contest and making 13 steals per contest The Ranger leadership came from its two seniors, forward Diania Weitzel and guard Brenda VanCuick. The two averaged 17.2 and 14.9 points respectively. Weitzel grabbed six boards and Van Cuick dished out 4.4 assists per contest Following the Ranger's 86-76 loss to UW-Stout in the second round of the District 14 tournament each player was honored by being selected to the All-District 14 team. Center Becky Lulloff averaged 10.1 ppg. along with 7.7 rebounds. Jody Bloyer turned a fine 90-91 campaign dispite being hampered by fib injuries in the final four games. Bloyer scored 82 ppg. and six rebounds. Freshman Ann Schmid came on strong during the mid-season to shore up the point guard spot and scored 8.6 PPg- The bench was the Rangers strength all year. Jenny Neubert, Joy Wallner, CinthiaFreund, Becky Tibbetts and Jenny Raniewicz all praticed and played beyond the expectations of such a young team. For coach Miller, the 1990-91 season was a great success, "I'm proud of the team, it was a great season, many of our close losses could have gone either way." March J#; 1991 Ranger, Pa'siO B 2 Weitzel, Van Cuick named All-District By TED McINTYRE Asst. Sports Editor Although the Ranger Women's Basketball team's season ended last week with a 87-77 loss to UWStout in the District 14 Championship, two Rangers will be remembered for their outstanding play during the season and in the Ranger's one post-season game. Senior forward Diana Wietzel andseniorguardBrenda Van Cuick were each selected to the District 14 All-Tournament team. Wietzel averaged 17.2 points per-game during the 1990-91 season and hit 72 percent from the free- throw line through 26 games. Van Cuick, who assumed the role of team leader at the beginning of the season returning from last year with All-American honors, pumped in a solid, 14.2 points and 4.4 assists per contest this season. The rest of the All-District 14 tournament team was comprised of sophomore Julie Maki of District Champion UW-Stout. Sophomore Pam Besch from Cardinal Stritch College, and District Player of the Year Jenny Wittman of Cardinal Stritch. Weitzel is no stranger to fame here at UW-Parkside as she was featured as the IBM Ranger Athlete of the Week twice this past season. Van Cuick who also recieved the award is also a repeat winner having won it last year as a junior. In leading the Rangers to a 14- 12 record, these two seniors were always the backbone of the team as the Rangers lived and died with the duo's success. Wietzel lead Paikside in minutes played averaging 32.6 per game. Di also proved proficient from outside the three-point line shooting .364 percent Van Cuick, known in some circles as B VC, led the Rangers with 81 free-throws and .366 three-point shooting. Allegations, poor bids make tourney a joke By DAVID Columnist This is the time of year basketball fans live for. Once, again March Madness has arrived, and not without the usualc ontroversy which always seems to overshadow the tournament Let's start with The University of Nevada-Las Vegas. UNLV, which is the favorite to win the National Championship April 1, must first survive a loaded West Regional. They may have to face two top ten teams before a semifinal match-up with the Midwest Regional Champion. Maybe there is justice in thwe orld. Remember UNLV isul cky ite ven has thec hance to defend its' National title. UNLV was declared ineligible at the beginning of the year, and if the NCAA had any guts the Rebels would be watching this tournament on television. Now what about the Big East conference which has seven teams in the tournament The Big East waas joke this year. It would have been nice to see Siena or Fordham in the tournament this year. Indiana fans were crying when they did not not receive the top seed in the Midwest Regional. With two defeats this year to Ohio State, who did get the top seed, I do not think Indiana's argument is a strong one. Princeton and De Paul each received much lower seeds then they deserved. Both these teams should have been a No. 5 or 6 seed, but that's life. Now all thep olitics are finally over it's time for the basketblal toS tart The only team from Wisconsin in the tournament UW-Green Bay, will be lucky to win it's first round game. The University of Nevada-Las Vegas will probably win it's second National Championship and next year the tournament will once again be messed-up. Best of the best UW-Parkside Women's Basketball team members Diana Weitzel ,23, and Brenda Van Cuick were named to the NAIA District 14 All-Tournament team last week. The two seniors led the Rangers through the season with 17.2 and 14.9 points respectively. Parkside finished with a 14-12 record. UW-Parkside Women's Basketball 1990-91 Report Card OFFENSE Although the Rangers averaged less points per game than did their opponents, 74.2-74.3, they ran an effective up-tempo style. Parkside shot only .433 from the field while they seemed to have trouble shooting lay-ups in close games. Timely three-point shootinj provided the team with an outside threat as the Rangers hit for .33; nevond the arc. Overall, a slightly better than average effort. c+ DEFENSE While the Rangers were blown out in several games, defense was always The deciding factor in their wins, Bahpressure "DM forced opponents tomakc 2 f ,S tumoversper contest. Themost impressive defensive sU»t was the Rangers t3J steals per game. By taking opponents out of their game plans, Parkside controlled the tempo ana set up its offense.

B+ The return of senior Ail-American guard Brenda Van Cuick and senior forward Diania Weitzel promised big things for Parkside but STARTERS they spent half the season finding a point-guard before freshman Ann Schmid took over.

When forward Terri Jngatfs went out with a knee injury, foe Rangers found out just how valuable the bench was. Jenny Neubert,3ayWallner, Jenny Raniewicz, and Becky Tifebetts were outstanding support adding ! 2 points and nine rebounds per game. Other intangibles were invaluable. B+ ' COACHING Coach Wendy Miller led her team to a UW-Parkside record 14-12 season in making it to the District 14 Championship. Substituting well all year, Mliler got the most out of her squda. Miller often won with better gamepreperation, outcoaching teams as she scheduled the very best NAIA opponents. The Rangers looked past the Disc 14 tourney and got beat by UW-Stout, the only downfall here.

Il>9! By JEFF LEMMERMANN Sports Editor While this isn't the Cactus league in Arizona, or the Grapefruit league in Florida, spring training is alive and well here in Wisconsin. UW-Parkside's 91' baseball team kicked-off their season with a three-game set in Indiana on March's first weekend. The biggest difference between camp in Mesa, Az, and camp up here? Weather. Temperatures of 35 degrees farenheit and below, with rain, met the Rangers in their opener. "It was tough to stay out in weather like that," said coach Red Oberbrunner. "The rain and the coldjust didn't make for good baseball weather." Despite the conditions more suitable for football than baseball, s Ranger hitters responded decently in their first outing outside of the cozy UW-Parkside gym. They scored a touchdown worth of runs in capturing the opener, 7-4, from the Sycamores of Indiana State. "We emphasized getting the jump on them," said coach Oberbrunner. "And we did just that Indiana State had some errors which were not typical of an Indiana State team which helped us out, but we got five or six hits early to help us get up on them." The temperature dropped after that opener to the 20 degree range for their final two games, and the Sycamores seemed to warm up a little bit Sycamore freshman, KC Whitten, a member of theU S Junior Olympic Team, was, knocked around a little by the Rangers, not enough to overcome 14 Sycamore runs as UW-Parkside's pitching staff had some difficulties. The third and final contest saw both teams struggle at the plate, as the Rangers twice wasted lead-off extra-base hits in dropping a 3-0 decision. "In all, we played half-way decent baseball," said a thawing coach Oberbrunner. "We played very good defense, especially for coming right out of a gym. We also had good baserunning.but a couple of times we couldn't get the key hit." The team also struggled with the flu bug, which has struck at least half of the team. The first bad news of the year didn't take long to strike; an injury to co-captain, Dan Langendorf. After going 3-1 last year with, four saves, arm trouble has struck this season's work-horse after struggling in his first outing. It is too early to tell, but Langendorf may sit out the season as a medical red-shirt, a tough blow for a staff weakened by graduation. gags Youth fills the bullpen, as well as the rest of the line-up. A pair of new faces, Paul Phillips and Jason Holt, will likely be called upon for major contributions. Phillips throws from the left side, and has good size. Holt, a right-hander, needs to mature physically yet, this being his first year as a full-time pitcher.

Hall brings maturity and the ij potential to add punch to the Ranger line-up in left. In center, Dominic Delrose, last year s : 'rookie of the year' will set up shop for an important year. He hit .426 during the regular season ] last year, and could be the cornerstone of the offense this year. A good year needed to open ' things up for Caccioppo and whoever ends up in the five spot. Don t overlook his good speed and strong arm in the pastures. In right, look for Dave Coughlin, a second-year sophomore, ;;| to get as hot. A solid defensive player, Coughlin's biggest asset could be his power possibilities, at 62", 186 lbs. Also in the outfield, Wade Hollingbeck should make a big impact if he can : recover from an injured back which has limited his early play. He has dynamite speed and a | good arm. With him in the line-up, the Rangers have a good speed threat in the lead-off spot. L_ — mtiatiiiiiii A JUCO transfer from CLC, Greg Green will take over at the pivot. Toutedasacontacthitter(hehit.340atCLC) with a good glove, Green looks to be the Ra nger lead-off hitter early in 1991. Kyle Knothe, a sophomore from Green Bay, finds himself at 1s t after coming in as a catchre. He wont give up his mask for good, but has earned a starting spot there with his hard work and good glove. His size (6'4", 195)giveshim the potential to supply the Rangers with a needed power lift. ! Ken Neese and slx other starters from last year have graduated, giving the line-up an entirely new look. Marc Thompson makes the jump from 2nd to short to replace Ken Neese. He brings a solid glove which proved to be his biggest asset as a freshman starter. He hit .264 last year, but his job this year is defense, defense, and defense. SP. I % l$iS ?# &£$ % # I Team captain and one of the most important parts of the Ranger offense, Mike Caccioppo moves from first base to third the first time in his Ranger career. Coach Red Oberbrunner, citing Caccioppo's good arm and quick hands, opted for the switch after losing the left half of his infield to graduation. The team will need his defense there, but more importantly, they need him at the plate. Last year, he hit .333 during the regular season, but his power numbers were off, hitting for extra bases just 4 times. The Rangers will need that to improve, along with a big year driving in runs. Caccioppo remains confident, "If they get on in front of me, I will drive them in." T— — — At top left, Jeff Fennrick begins his fourth and final year in a Ranger uniform. With it, he also finds himself as one of only two seniors on the Ranger staff. Last year, Fennrick was 3rd on the team in iinnngs, but struggled to a 7.33 ERA. He was able to strike out 21 in 27 innnigs, the Rangers will need more of that from him. A good season could be the key for this team's success. Ross Kalinowski (top right) was a pleasant surprise early in 1990, largely in middle releif. Despite slumping in the latter parts, Kalinowski finished 3rd in ERA, while finishing 5th in innings. In 1991, the Rangers may need him as a starter. Not an overpowering pitcher, Kalinowski is a southpaw who "gets the job done." Jeff Konczal (bottom left) was tops on the team in ERA at 2.84, but was a soldier of misfortune with a 2-4 record. Konczal, who changes speeds better than anyone on the staff, needs to be an anchor on this year's team. Newcomer Kelly Zielinskl is a hardthrowing left-hander who pitched his freshman year at UW-Milwaukee. A good season by him could be a much needed lift for a staff which lost its top two inning producers, 8 of 13 victories, to graduation. After two years 'in the stable', Stan Dcdnch will finally have a full-time job to show what he has learned. Haying behind 4 year starter Gary Fritsch, Dedrich managed a 4304 batting average in 11 games. His defense is to be the real asset though. March 14,1991 Feature Ranger, Page 13 Kummings finishes new book Donald D. Kummings, professor of English, is the author of the newly published book, "Approaches to Teaching Whitman's Leaves of Grass." The book, Kummings' second on Walt Whitman, was released in December by the Modem Language Association of America, New York. The book features a survey of scholarly and pedagogical materials available to teachers and provides a spectrum of critical approaches to teaching Whitman's "Leaves of Grass The work is part of the Modem Language Association of America's popular "Approaches to Teaching World Literature" series. The series includes such volumes on Saavedra Cervantes' "Don Quixote," Johann Goethe's "Faust," Alighieri Dante's "Divine Comedy" and Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales." Kummings' first book on Whitman, "Walt Whitman, 1940- 1975: A Reference Guide," was published in 1982. In addition, Kummings' work on Whitman consists of more than 20 articles and numerous scholarly presentations. For the past eight years, Kummings has served as the book review editor for "The Mickle Street Review", a Whitman journal published semi-annually in Camden, NJ. Kummings holds a bachelor's and master's degree from Purdue University and a doctorate from Indiana University. Donald Kummings By any means necessary by Chris Daniel It's sad to see what hI ave seen these last few weeks: people running wild for tools attempting to justify their own ignorance, people clinging to the views of their peers without any sound reason for belief. Is this what education is all about, relearning what is already learned? Many of the PhD's and others in authority on this campus tell me that I'm hitting the truth right into many ofy our hearts. Yet, like a bad organ transplant, your bodies, minds, and spirits choose to reject this life saving devicetruth. I need not cry ass ome of you say I am doing, because I know without a doubt that I will be a success. However, the truth must be told. How often do many of you, those of all races, go out of your way to introduce or interact with another cultural group without being hand held or pushed? I do this often. If you do not believe it, review my history. It is this progression of body, mind, and spirit that I am advocating. I refuse to respond emotionally to the letters received last week because it only perpetuates ignorance. Nonetheless, I admit that some of the points that were made are valid, even in my mind. However, I cannot condone the ignorance that comes with the lack of cultural interaction, the ignorance that was clearly displayed in most of the responses of last week's Ranger, Are those of you who replied in anger so guilty of this racist/prejudice behavior that you must continue to reach for answers to justify your own ignorance? I have never called all white people ignorant; moreover, it is childish to argue that I write with this intent People of Parkside, you have proven to me, and you have published for the world to see exactly what I have been explaining. Can I, should I, should we allow the proliferation of ignorance when we have the tool of choice to destroy it? I am willing to sit down and discuss my concerns for the progression of people. Are you? My African American brothers and sisters and I have shown that we can survive in a world of turbulence from all sides. Can you? Iam speaking to the woman omr an who cannot If this is you, then it is you to whom I am speaking. You do not have to be a racist to be racist We can be considered racist simply by allowing the continuation of a system that is inherently racist. You can bec onsidered racist by allowing the ignorant racist conversation that you may be confronted with almost daily, be it about yellows, whites, blacks, or browns. Many psychologists or sociologists can tell us that some of the responses that were in last week's Ranger were without a doubtracist in nature. If you cannot see that, it is you to whom I am talking, and it is you who needs to change, BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! Oh, by the way, Mr. Andrewski, you don't know me. You have never known me. A man of my caliber you have never known and probably never will. Moreover, I will leave you with this: A puppy that is tired of playing bites back.

Before arriving at his destination, his vehicle breaks down and causes him to be stranded halfway between where he started and where he wants ^ to end. Obvioualy this would be much too far for him to travel by foot, he realizes; so he is left stranded on a county road with no means of transportation. An hour passes by, and while waiting hopefully for passersby to rescue him from such a mishap, he sits and ponders upon what he should do. Justatthis samemoment ! he sees a white convertible approaching and notices that it is traveling rather slowly. "Certainly this person will stop and ask me if I need a ride," he thought "It is only obvious that I am not wearing a suit and sitting on ablack car in the middle of no where for no apparent reason." The moving vehicle, while passng the man, slows down, then p icks up speed and drives off up the road. Astonished, the man sits back down dumbfounded at the thought that the gentleman in the car had no t seen him and rudely studied him and drove off, leaving him* there. Two hours later, after other moving vehicles had passed, another vehicle approached even slower than the first. This one was a red convertible. Again the man thought, "Surely this person will see me, have pity on my situation, will pull over and offer assistance." Shockingly, the car drove up to the man who was now standing and stopped; again, it seemed as if the person was studying him. "Finally!", the man on the road exclaimed, so sure this person was the answer. Upon approaching the red vehicle, it too sped off going twice as fast than the first. "Damn!" the man shouted in a frustrated voice. "Won't anyone help me?" Taking the load off once again, he sat back down upon the hood of his vehicle. Thirty minutes later, another v ehicle approached. Yet this one was quite different from the two before it. For some reason Opinion the man could not place the name of this vehicle, and its distinct yellow features some how made the man seem uneasy. This one however was traveling much faster than the other two, and at first it appearred to the man that it was not going to s top at all. At this last thought, the man ran out in to the road in desperation. The heat was unbearably hot, almost 97 degrees. "This person will stop, I'll make him stop," he thought, waving his arms in a frantic motion and screaming for help. Suddenly a cold feeling came over the man, and before he ted time to dash back to the side of the road, a man with a rifle fired a shot The man in the car didn't bother to swerve, yet continued to drive, accelerating up the road. QUESTION: To the BLEMISHED NATIONS of the world, can you desert the man who feeds you and leave him stranded? ANSWER: To our BLACK nations, desert those who have no mercy!

Meetings had positive impact on attendees and future policy By Dr. James Kinchen Special to the Ranger Toward the end of February, we held a series of TOWN MEETINGS ON THE CAMPUS RACIAL CLIMATE; a first, I think, for our campus. These TOWN MEETINGS afforded students (and some faculty and staff members) the opportunity to come together and discuss racism and how it affects us here at Parkside. Six meetings were scheduled for February 19 and 20: two at mid-day, two in the late afternoon and two at night One of the late afternoon meetings did not materialize, but committe e members waited about 40 minutes for the second late afternoon meeting to begin. While waiting for participants to arrive, they themselves had a very lively discussion about campus racism, and concluded, about twenty-til-five, that a successful meeting had taken pl ace after all, even though no "outsiders" had come. All-in-all, I consider these TOWN MEETINGS to have been successful in several ways. The two noon meetings drew audiences of 10-15 each. One of these meetings was sponsored by the Hispanic Student Organization and was largely attended by Hispanic students. The other was sponsored by the campus Spanish language and culture club, Onda Latina, and drew a mostly white audience! The two evening meetings were held in the r esidence halls, and each proved to be animated and intense. On one evening, more than a dozen African-American students (and a single white student) met for discussion. The following evening, a more mixed group, which included two RA's, gathered in the same room. 1 thought that each meeting was positive and constructive. There was something to be learned from listening to the participants at each gathering. As I reflect on these TOWN MEETINGS, I am struck by several things: 1) People cared. No matter how they felt — angry, resistant, curious, philosophic, or whatever — they cared because they came and talked (or came and listened). The fact that these first meetings did not draw huge numbers does not diminish this impression. 2) Each meeting was different — in tone, content, participants, etc. The day meetings took a more scholarly tone while the night sessions were much more emotional and visceral There was no "typical" meeting! 3) People defined racism differently. Perhaps how people define racism depends a lot on how they are affected by it and whether they feel empowered or victimized. In one meeting, a young man said that racism was any kind of discrimination based on race, religion, gender, sexual preference, and the like. A white student felt that while prejudice was wide-ranging, racism occurred only when someone was actually hurt. An African-American woman in that same meeting responded that even the subtle forms of racism which may seem inconsequential (a white store salesperson paying special attention to and following a black customer around the sales floor to be sure that he/she does not shoplift, for example) are nonetheless, racism. After some spirited but earnest discussion, the white gentleman agreed that he opposed the kinds of discriminatory and dehumanizing behaviors described by the African-American woman, regardlessof whathemightchoose to call them. The fact that they might not fit within his definition of "racism" did not make them any more right or acceptable! 4) Not only do "minority" students readily question non-minority persons, policies, practices and perceptions which they see as racist, these students, with the same vigor and strength of feeling, insist that "minority" faculty and staff be accountable for our actions toward them. While I was not surprised, this was for me, personally, a sobering reminder. 5) These opportunities to talk were significant Communication is, after all, essential in human relations. Many times we do not know how each other feels because we do not communicate. As I became more aware of just how special these TOWN MEETINGS were, not just as assessment tools, which was their original intent, but as vehicles for communication. It seemed logical tom e that we should have more of them. And in one meeting, a participant said as much. Others present agreed. We ought to talk more about this subject which affects all of usin some way or another. So, there will be more TOWN MEETINGS. Wednesday, April 3,9 pm, Residence Halls Wednesday, April 10, 12 pm, Molinaro 105 Wednesday, April 17, 9 pm, Residence Halls Thursday, April 25, 12:30, Molinaro 105 Other details as well as changes, should they occur, will be forthcoming. So, where do we go from here? Having just so lavishly lauded the efficacy of talk, let me sound this note of caution: TALK ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH. Talk is not a panacea. Disaffected persons view meaningful discussion not only as an emotional vent, but as an indication that other s are genuinely concerned and want to improve things, and as a manifestation of their own empowerment. They do not, as a rule, desire to talk for the sake of talking. Disaffection deepens, frustration increases and cynicism takes hold when it becomes apparent that talk leads nowhere. Yes, communication does have inherent value. But talk must be coupled with action. Talk must lead to change. These first TOWN MEETINGS were bright signs, for they demonstrated that people can come together and talk and listen and reason; and they showed that atmosphere (and possibly attitudes, too!) can be changed for the better when people talk with a real sense of hope and positive expectancy. So, if the "findings" of these meetings can be succinctly summed up, I would say that our campus climate is NOT nearly what it should be, but a lot of people believe that it CAN get better.

The article spoke of Manogaran *s past education, his future goals and recognized him for his exceptional work. Dr. Manogaran was born in Lumpur, Malaysia, but moved to Sri Lanka during the Japanese occupation with his family. He received his degree in Geography from the University of Ceylon. Manogaran taughtat Jaffna College in Sri Lanka for six years before attending Clark University in Massachusetts. In 1968hereceived his master's degree from Clark, the oldest graduate school of geography in the United States. Manogaran later went on to receive his doctoral degree from Southern Illinois University in 1972. Dr. Manogaran *s goals for the future include establishing a strong international student service program at Parkside and continuing to contribute to Sri Lanka. Professor Manogaran was recognized by the students at Parkside as an outstanding professor in 1974. He has also received recognition for his book, Ethnic Conflict and Reconciliation in Sri Lanka when it was selected as an "Outstanding Academic Book Selection" by CHOICE, an American Libraiy Association publication. Dr. Manogaran feels that success is receiving recognition of a Chelvadurai Manogaran job well done. "I try to do my job to the best of my ability. The acknowledgment of things done well is rewarding." Aerobic exercise... for the fun of it by Lorraine Meyer Student Health Services Exercise can be pursued on many levels depending upon individual interests and abilities. Exercise can actually be classified into three different categories: exercises that improve flexibility, exercises for strength/toning, and cardiovascular aerobic exercises. Each of these types of exercise is important for a well-balanced exercise program, but aerobic exercises are by far the most important Aerobic exercises improve the ability of the heart and other muscles to use oxygen more efficiently. Aerobic exercises provide many benefits. They strengthen your heart and lungs and help lower your risk of heart disease. Aerobic exercise is the moset ffective exercise you can do to lose weight There are benefits for your mental health also because exercise improves your sense of well-being and is a great way to release tension. With all these benefits, why isn't everybody exercising? For many individuals, the hardest part is just getting started. It is not too late to take advantage of the aerobic exercise programs available right here at Parkside and they are free to students and staff. An Aquacize class is being offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:00-6:00pm in the pool at the Physical Education Building, beginning March 26. Exercising in water provides a good workout because of working against the pressure of the water. It has the added benefit of exercise with little or no impact on your joints. The60minuteroutine includes all three types of exercise, so you not only get an aerobic workout, but also strength and toning and exercises to stretch and improve your flexibility. No swimming skills are needed. Floor routine aerobics are being held in the gym of the Physical Education Building on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 5:00-6:00pm. It is not necessary to attend all four, workouts to participate. Both of these aerobicprograms have a moderate intensity level and pace and are fun and energizing. To take advantage of either of these classes, complete a registration form available in Student Health Services, Molinaro D115. As with any form of exercise, if you are over35 or have any type of chronic health problem, you should check with your physician before engaging in vigorous exercise. The Ranger staff wishes you a safe and enjoyable spring break. Remember, the Ranger will not be published next week. langer, Page 16 Opinion March 14,1991 Think before you react to issues you encounter Cloves Cook StafTWriter Let me begin with a few deflations from Webster's 9th New Collegiate Dictionary and the Vebster's Unabridged Dictionary hat should be referred to throughnit this article for clarification of yeaning: 1) Racism: The belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capabilities, that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race (i.e. Hitler). 2) Prejudice: Judgement or pinion that is formed before the actsareknown: imreasonablebias; m ir rational attitude of hostility lirected against an individual, ^roup, or their supposed :haracteristics (i.e. predilection). 3) Discrimination: Showing of difference or favoritism in treatment; the act or practice of making differences in treatment on a basis other than individual merit (i.e. nepotism). 4) Ignorant: Lacking knowledge or comprehension of he thing specified; uninstructed, minformed, untaught, unenlightened, or unaware. 5) Blaming the victim: The nutting down, blaming, or derogation of a victim to whom an offense (criminal or totherwise) has been committed. Blaming the victim as being responsible for what has happened to him or her (i.e. accusing a woman of "asking" to be raped because of what she was or was not wearing). These five teams are the gisto f all the remarks made in the letters to the editor and in the "Devil's" column in the 3/7/91 edition of The Ranger. The white readers have on numerous occasions expressed their "sick and tiredness" of hearing complaints and "whining" from "minorities" about racism and prejudice. Me thinks thou doth protest too loudly! If you are not guilty of the accusation, don't get yourself all worked upi n toa frenzy! To you people who are guilty, you can be bloody well sure that us people are sick of lviing with it! If we did not think it was an issue in need of a solution, we would not have been singing this same song for the last400 years. We are tired of our complaints falling on deaf and apathetic ears. We are tiredo f being criticized as being "overly sensitive". If anyone is overly sensitive, it is you who turn off your ears, close your minds and put on your blinders the instant anything remotely race-related comes up. It is this type of attitude that perpetuates the stereotypes and fear that, in turn, perpetuate racism and prejudice. Consider this: If you were wearing the shoe of racism and it was nibbing your heel and hindering your climb out of mediocrity, would you not want to get rid of this shoe? Would you want to be - prevented from removing this shoe? If you were prevented from removing this shoe, would you not voice your discomfort and frustration atnot being allowed thec hance to show what a good climber you are capable of being if your climb is smooth and relatively obstaclefree? Would you not insist on a remedy (removal of the shoe)? And finally, would you want to be labeled as a chronic complainer and whiner because you let your voice be heard? I think not! Any of you who have ever worn a shoe that your foot did not agree with can relate to this analogy. Those of you who have not, I give to you my grandmother's advice: "Keep living." This analogy is bound to manifest itself in one form oranother, but the underlying feelings will be the same: frustration and animosity toward your oppressor. Here's a helpful hint This is especially likely to happen if you have the intestinal fortitude to dare speak out against something as unfair and oppressive as racism and its effects. Keep living. As for all of us blaming all of you, unfortunately, we cannot look at people and tell who is a bigot and who is not We should wait for those traits to manifest in that individual, just as you cannot look at us and tell who is capable of being something beyond the stereotypes and who is not You should wait for us to manifest other qualities, also. I guess, to a certain extent, that old slur "you all look alike to me" is true. I have noticed that none of the remarks addressed the intricate dynamics of racism, namely the effects it has on one's self-esteem and self-confidence. Racism can be directly responsible for its victims' inability to realize their goals . It is very frustrating and disheartening to know you have been denied the opportunity to express your potential and reach your goals because you are "pre-judged" by your skin color and rejected before you even open your mouth to represent yourself. Racism is such an intrinsic part of this country's basic foundation that it is close to impossible to be in America without exposure to it at some point in your life. Personally, I think only an act of God will cure the ills of this world, but until then, we have to continue to try to find feasible solutions to our (all humans') problems. Some believe that racism is a myth created and perpetuated by and for black people to be used as a crutch and a place to lay the blame for our problems. I assure all of you non-believers thatracism is alive and kicking in this country and on this campus. Just because you are not affected by it, or not affected to the same degree as we are, does not mean that it does not exist I agree that not all white people are prejudiced, just as not all black people areprejudiced. The informed, enlightened, realistic people of both races know different. The white people that helped make the Civil Rights' Movement a success know different. People of both races who died for thcea use know different To all the "sick and tireds" out there, remember this, the power structure in this country is set up to facilitate the goals, needs and desires of middle-class, white males. The "Golden Rule" applies to them first This rule is simple: He who has the gold makes the rules. If anyone besides this group of middle-class white males benefits from these rules, then you are considered to have fallen through the cracks (of bureaucracy). Finally, since none of you are willing (or able) to assimilate to get the full impact and experience of what it is like to be black in this country, I suggest that you open your minds, unplug your ears, take off your blinders, and allow yourselves to be enlightened and stop judging that of which you have no concept.

The week everyone has been waiting for to relax away from the stresses and strains of school. Although you're resting your body and mind, it doesn't mean you can stop thinking! Every 22 minutes in the United States, someone is killed in a drinkwig and driving accident - a driver, a passenger, or an innocent bystander, and about 560,000 people are injured every year in alcoholrelated traffic accidents. If you are between the ages of 18 and 24, you are in the age group with the highest rate of drinking and driving incidents. March 6-13, various UWParkside organizations sponsored "Don't Get Ripped" for a Safe Spring Break campaign which included a nationwide opportunity to win a Chrysler automobile and other prizes from local businesses for pledging not-to drink and drive or ride with an impaired driver during Spring Break. The following questions will help you test just how smart you know how to party: True or False? 1. You can tell when someone's had too much to drink by the way he/she talks and walks. False. Judgment is the first thing to go before speech or motor skills. A person may be driving dangerously before he/she starts to slur or weave. 2. A12 oz. can/bottle of beer contains less alcohol than a 5 oz. glass of wine ora l.oz. shot of hard liquor. False. A12 oz. can of beer = 5 oz. of wine = 1.5 oz. shot of hard liquor. 3. There is no way to sober up quickly. True. Time is the only way to sober up. Coffee, cold showers, and other remedies won't work. To get sober, your body must metabolize the alcohol, which is a slow process. 4. Combining liquor with carbonated mixers will slow the effects of the alcohol. False. Even though a mixer dilutes the alcohol, carbonation speeds its absorption. 5. Individuals of the same body weight will not be affected by alcohol at the same rate. True. Many other factors including gender, metabolism, mood, and amount of food intake play a role. Whatever your plans may be for Spring Break, remember these tips: * You don't have to be "drunk" to be impaired - only one or two drinks can affect driving ability. * Drinking,driving,anddrugsdon't mix. * Volunteer as a designated driver - be sure everyone arrives safely to their destination. * Don't let friends drive impaired - it'saquick way to end a friendship. * If one of your friends drinks to excess, stay with him/her - make A great "no impact" way to exercise No swimming skills neded.

Daily Specials Kenosha's Newest & Hottest Bar & Restaurant Catering to the College Crowd •March 14,1991 frfovie Review Entertainment Ranger, Page 19 Record Review More than an unusual title by Dawn Maiiand Entertainment Editor XYMOX! With a name like that, I wasn't sure what the tape Twist of Shadows would be like, punk oriented or even something worse. However, imagine my surprise when the first song, "Evelyn" played through my tape deck. The song encompassed a strong bass beat, similar to what I've heard from bands such as Erasure and Depeche Mode, and was actually enjoyable. The lyrics were included on the song jacket, and they expressed a sense of loneliness. Loneliness of the world, love and of all the illusions which take place. 'Tonight" starts out with the words "Everytime I look at you/I wonder what goes on/Behind your happy smile." The remainder of this song describes a man's wish tob e able to understand what a woman's looks mean. From listening to this album, it was hard to categorize XYMOX into a musical type. Was it an amalgam of college-dance? Or Altema-pop? Are they even mainstream Top 40 radio fare? What I discovered, though, was that XYMOX seems to be all of the above, while also walking away with a sound all their own. The band' started on a small independent label back in Amsterdam. Their first album, The Clan of Xymox, reached enormous underground success on the college scene back in 1985. Inspired by their appeal, XYMOX released their second album, entitled Medusa. This album also became a large success with the college markets. From these two albums, XYMOX has expanded their sound into the ethereal dance world,which has now become known as their trademark. Despite major success in the college markets, there was still a problem for the band. "There were people out there who had heard of us," said lead singer and guitarist Ronnie Moorings, "but they weren't able to find the album anywhere." This led XYMOX to seek a major label to increase their physical accessibility. Their third album, released on die new label, has approached 100,000copies sold (besting their rivals by quite a few -albums). XYMOX seems to have become the most quiet success story for Wing Records: Asold-outtour across theUnited Statesand Europe as well as two Top 5 singles on the Dance/Club charts with their first two singles, "Obsession" and "Blind Hearts." A goal left for XYMOX to achieve is to break out of the mold of an alternative, underground band because of their prior success in these areas. "'Imaginations' represents our first mainstream record in that we are trying to expand our range of acceptability into Top 40 as well as the college-dance market," replied Moorings. Well, in my opinion, this band has the ability go reach and surpass their goal. With the continuous bass beat, the synthesized sounds, the excellent drum patterns, the almost sensual lyrics and the fitting vocal sounds emanating from XYMOX, they will almost assuredly exceed their expectations for success.

Roberts plays Laura, who is married to an abusive husband Martin played by Patrick Bergan. Martin is an intense, totally analretentive obsessive phycho who gets upset at the very sight of disorder. If anything is out of place, Roberts gets beat up for it To escape from him, Roberts has to fake her own death by pretending to drown. She gets away and assumes a new identity, but Patrick is not far behind. Usually, any films based upon brutality toward women are not any fun to watch. At certain points in this film I was saying to myself "why", but in the scenes in which she is away from her husband, Roberts pulls ito ff. She iss o full of charm that she makes the film fun to watch. She plays the vulnerable but independent women well, but you can't help but think thatif there was different subject matter the performance could really take off. Patrick Bergan plays the obsessive husband Martin. His character is grossly overplayed. His character is so unrealistic that when he is on the screen I imagined a hockey mask over his face, which is the trademark of another unrealistic character. Kevin Anderson plays Ben, a dramatics teacher who catches the interest of Roberts. Anderson is a bright spot in the film with his addition of light hearted comedy in a film filled with depressing realities. Anderson may have possibly caught the eye of other filmakers and you may hear of him more in the future. Joseph Ruben directed the film. He has also directed The Stepfather and Dreamscape. Ruben is known for making straight horror films and he obviously had to be careful to not turn this into a horror picture. That would have been disasterous. There are some real chills here, but not overwhelmingly so. Roberts gives a fine performance, as does newcomer Kevin Anderson. The film doesn 't scare you as much as it makes you feel uncomfortable.
