Richard Korszun's invention, the Materials Dispersion Apparatus, has spent the last five days in space with the space shuttle Atlantis. Korszun's invention was in space from April 5 to April 9 (ETA). It's a miniature laboratory which conducts experiments for growing protein crystals. "It is an automated apparatus that allows 100-200 experiments to be performed simultaneously," said Korszun. The Atlantis contains four apparatuses that will be running 500 experiments. If successful, these experiments can provide scientists with a better picture of how viruses, hormones, and other messenger chemicals work in humans, animals, and plants. "Some of the experiments are Prof. Korszun to try to grow larger crystals of protein. The reasoning is by getting larger crystals we can study the molecular architecture of the molecule. Knowing what the molecules look like, we can determine how it does its job, and then possibly design drugs to try o t inhibit the molecules that have gone haywire, which is not doing its job properly," said Korszun. Haywire is a reference to the diseases that are produced in the molecular level, where protein or enzymes overproduce their products, which hurts the system. Korszun's invention was completed seven years ago. "The original reason for making this equipment was to fly it on the shuttle," said Korszun. Because of the the space shuttle Challenger disaster back in January of 1986, in which Korszun's equipment was to be used in the following trip, his project was put on delay since shuttle trips were all temporarily canceled. "They finally got the program rolling again, we got a new chance," said Korszun. When Korszun received a call concerning his invention going up Continued on page 19 United Council demands change | ; by Dan Chiappetta §p|fcws Editor | ' m || || United Council.state student association of which UWParfcside is a member, announced hearings at UW Campu&svound the state on incorporating a specifically worded code prohibiting sexual assault in the UWSystem student conduct codes. The Wisconsin Act 177 was signed into law in April.1990, which states that all UW institutions must distribj^^rutcn and oral information on the definitions of, penalties for, and statistics on sexual assault, sexual harassment and sexual exploitation by therapists to all UWParkside students, faculty, and staff on a annual basis. ?§ Since then. United Council\ has been researching and pro-, moling the need for a specific code that covers sexual assault. •r: According to Jennifer Smith, UC Women's Director, only a physical assault code is stated in the lJW System's student conduct code. She doesn't understand how a sexual assault incident could be considered for punishment under the physical asIfiultcod# | II "There is no reason Whatsoever that this type of specifically worded statement should not be in our student conduct codes," said Smith. "It is absolutely ridiculous that a student can be punished or even expelled for possessing drugs or cheating or forgery but not for raping another student; what kind of message is being sent to students through this lack of a code?" According to Steve McLaughlin, UW-Parkside's Dean of Student Life, UWfpi'arks ide has of yet to discuss this Continued on Page 14 Wisconsin Bell's plan for "flexible" regulation Latesha N. Jude News Writer On September 5th, 1990, the Public Service Commission (PSC) issued its order on the Wisconsin Bell Rate Case. In this decision, the Commission concluded that Bell's retaining rates should be lowered by about $23 million. Instead of retaining the current residential service packages, the PSC eliminated all customer choices and allowed Bell to implement a mandatory pay-per-call plan. According to the Citizens' Utility Board, there are four main points in the decision. First, the flat rate will becliminaied, as will all other existing call packages. These will be replaced with a mandatory pay-per-call rate for local service. This rate charges all customers a basic fee of $9.50 per month, plus a fe for each local call based on the following schedule: 1-60 calls 61-150 calls 151-300 calls 301-400 calls 401-1200 calls 1200* calls $.06 $.05 $.04 $.03 $.02 $.05 per per per per per per call call call call call call Second, the plan will be implemented by Bell on June 1, 1991. Four months prior to introduction of the plan, the company will institute "shadow billing," which will give customers an idea of how much their phone bill will be under the mandatory pay-per-call plan. Third, the commission finally agreed with the Citizens' Utility Board to eliminate touch-tone charges for residential service. In addition, touch-tone charges for businesses have been reduced by $1.50 per month. Fourth, the Public Service Commission could have reduced rates for all residential customers by preserving the current calling package options and reducing rates across-the-board. Instead, they implemented the mandatory payper call plan that will reduce bills for only 80% of its customers, while 20% will see increased bills. Lance Walter, Legislative Director for United Council, gives his testimony against Wisconsin Bell's Plan for "Flexible" Regulation. United Council is a non-profit umbrella group representing over 150,000 students on 23 Wisconsin campuses. Walter states, "Students do have a vested interest in these proposed regulation changes. With the national trend shifting from grants to loans at an alarming rate and approximately 40 percent of today's graduates leaving school with an average debt of $7,337, the train of thought that students are not living in the real world has become a myth." Walter adds, "With this growing economic crunch that students face, Wisconsin Bell is proposing to eliminate unlimited calling as an option for local billing. Students who tend to live in houses or apartments with several other people are going to be one of the hardest hit groups. With such a large percentage of its cost being fixed, I find it difficult to believe thai a usage-based system is really thehiost equitable way to establish pricing policies for local services." According to the Citizens' Utility Board, if Bell earns a 17.5% return on equity over the next three years, it will get to keep all of those enormous profits under its plan. On the other hand, under the current system. Bell would very likely have to refund a portion of those profits to customers. Under Bell's proposal, their rate of return would be targeted at Continued on Page 7 Inside...

From the desk of the Editor After a month of soliciting applications for the position of editor-inchief, three students have submitted applications for the job. While the low number of applications submitted was a surprise, the quality of the candidates makes up for that low response. The new editor-in-chief will be chosen on Thursday, April 11, by an Editor Selection Committee. The selection committee consists of nine members. They include the Ranger's advisers. Ranger president. Ranger vicepresident, faculty member, staff member, two Ranger staff members, and a student-at-largc. The committee represents the university community and will provide the kind of input that results in a good decision. The candidates for editor-in-chief, all Ranger staff members, include Len Anhold, Dan Chiappeoa, and Tod McCarthy. Anhold joined the Ranger staff in the fall as an assistant sports editor. He played a key role in making the sports section what it is today. Chiappeoa joined the Ranger staff in the fall of 1987 as a news writer and became news editor in 1989. His contributions include numerous front page stories and pullout sections on alcohol awareness week, and most recently, on Operation Desert Storm. McCarthy joined the Ranger staff last June as copy editor. His copy editing skills have made the Ranger an almost error-free paper. McCarthy has also written many stories including his weekly feature. Spotlight. The new editor-in-chiefs term runs from July 1 until june 30. The new editor-in-chief is responsible for publishing a summer issue, slated to hit the stands around the time summer school staits. This issue also serves as an information piece for students attending summer orientation programs. They are also responsible for preparing for the next publishing year. This is accomplished by bringing new staffers on board during the summer so they can be trained by fall, and making new format and style changes. All the candidates are highly qualified for the position, and I wish them all the best of luck. If any other students are interested in joining the Ranger for the coming year, please feel free to stop in the Ranger office and talk to the new editor. To the Editor: All of us on the Parkside campus, students and staff alike, have seen the increasingly bitter division of students this year along racial and ethnic lines. Many fingers of fault could be pointed in all directions, but this would not advance the present situation to a more hopeful future. Suffice it to say, many have made serious mistakes in intercultura1 communication. This situation has especially distressed and confounded ourclub, the Parkside International Club(P J.C.). We are a student-led organization of over 50 students, both from the United States and from over thirty nations around the world. Just to survive as a functioning club, wc have to struggle everyday with the issues of intercultural communication and respect. Wc are all very diverse. Wc are African, Asian, Latin American, Middle Eastern and Europeandescended. We are traditional and nontradiiional students, rich and poor, men and women. In many res pec ts.wcare a microcosm of the world. And yet, we do not experience the bitter divisions that some African-American and white students have displayed with each other. Thus, the logical question is: why? While all of us in the club would have our own ideas, I will simply say that we have understood that differences are to be appreciated AND respected. That as we come to value others, wc end up valuing ourselves more.

April 11,1991 Opinion Ranger, Page 3 The Devil's Advocate Mideast troubles are far from over for the Kurds by Donald R. Andrewski According to the rest of the world, the war in the Persian Gulf is over. I must express my reluctance to accept this view. Saddam Hussein's troops invaded, raped, plundered, and burned Kuwait It should come as no surprise. Hussein brutalized Kuwait just as he brutalized his ownpecple. As a ruthless dictator, he secured and maintained power through a reign of tenor. Once the Allied command announced that it was suspending offensive operations, news commentators grimly reported that"the 'elite' Republican Guards finally found someone that they can beaL..Iraqi citizens!" Since cessation of Allied operations, tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens have been killed. Some have been killed in rebelling against the tyrannical rule of Saddam Hussein. Others have been dragged from their homes and summarily executed without a trial. Bush has been accused of enticing the Kurds to revolt against Hussein and now hanging them out to dry. Not that the Kurds really needed anyone to lead them on. As a minority in Iraq, they received pledges of support from Hussein during his rise to power only to be double-crossed by him. More recently, the world was shocked and outraged by Hussein's use of chemical weapons to murder over five thousand Kurds, including women and children. Nonetheless, the Kurds today remain the most dispossessed minority in the world. According to news reports, they even surpass the Palestinians. One Kurd even expressed this fact when interviewed by a CNN reporter. Of course, the military only steps in "when diplomacy fails". and a fine line emerges that makes it difficult to ascertain when the military must be told to stand down and allow the diplomatic process to resume. In the case of the recent Persian Gulf War, I believe that this call was a bit premature. Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Gulf War, General Norman Schwarzkopf, has stated that he urged pushing on to defeat the so-called "elite" Republican Guard, thus ripping the fangs out of Hussein's tiger. While surely not elite when compared to U.S. Army Special Forces, British Special Air Service (S.A.S.) or the French Foreign Legion, this so-called elite Guard sure can mess up a civilian populace, a talent that they havecoldbloodedly demonstrated in suppressing the Kurdish rebellion time and again. Asimilar situation faced President Truman when he had to tell General George S. Palton to stand down when Patton suggested that we continue pushing on into Russia. He likewise fired General Douglas Mac Arthur when the latter suggested pushing on into China to neutralize the sanctuary given to the North Korean communist troops. Considering the amount of trouble that the communists have given the free world since then, it is difficult to assess whether or not that was the way to go. Atanyrate, the kapusta hit the fan last year as the socialist movement in Eastern Europe began to fall apart in big pieces. Thus diplomacy, with a copi us amount of patience and forcbcarance, emerged triumphant without conquest of the antagonists. What of thePersianGulfWar? Is it really over now that Kuwait is liberated? Should we aid he t Kurds in their re volt? If so, with what and how much? If not, how long must we wait for diplomacy to work? Several facts have ncxchanged. Hussein is still in command of Iraq and his forces are effectively waging genocide against the Kurds. Although badly shaken up, Hussein will survive and regain his military and political status. It may take five years, but we will have to deal with him again, and he is not so stupid as to make the same mistake twice. If America is truly a nation with a conscience, we must not ignore the cries of the oppressed Kurdish people. Their tears and blood flow upon the ground. They should at least be given a fighting chance. Humanitarian aid will not stop attacking tanks and planes. Nor will it secure a nation for those people yearning to be free. Helping the Kurds would not be meddling with the "internal affairs" of Iraq. Backing a side in a civil war is meddling; stopping genocide is not I only wonder what would have happened to the Jewish people of Europe if the Allies had not "meddled" in he t internal affairs of Nazi Germany. If history does indeed repeat itself, I, for one, do not have the stomach to watch the Kurds succumb to genocide. If we allow this to happen, we will have effectively resigned from the human race. Parkside Student Government Association U.S. Student Association's Recommendations for the 1991 Reauthorization of the Higher Education Act (1)The Proper Loan-Grant Bal- „ ancc. Funding of federal grant programs has failed to keep up with rising college costs, which arc fueled by shortfalls in federal student aid, and more and more students have been forced to take on loans. USSA seeks to restore the proper balance of loans, grants and workstudy by making Pell Grants an entitlement, increasing the maximum Pell Grant, and strengthening the State Student Incentive Grant and Perkins Loan programs. (2) Special Services for traditionally under-represented groups are necessary to ensure that they have true access to higher education, and are able to stay in and graduate from college. (3) Adequate Publicity and Information Dissemination on Student Aid is necessary in light of numerous studies demonstrating the lack of awareness of federal financial aid opportunities among students and parents, especially those from lesser socioeconomic and educational backgrounds (4) The Needs of Middle-Income Students are not being served by the current aid system which shuts them off from gram and loan programs. USSA seeks to rfestme thtir eligibility for Pell Grants and Stafford Loans, the elimination of the Supplemental Loans for Students (SLS) program, and the revision of the Income Contingent Loan program. S) Elimination of Student Aid Fees. The imposition of application fees, origination fees, and insurancepremiumson studcntloans is a hardship and barrier to access for low- and middle-income students. (6) Elimination of the Linkage of Extraneous Requirements to Student Aid. Student aid is already linked to registration for Selective Service and drug use waivers. Linking student aid to purposes other than access and retention is inherently discriminatory toward lowand middle-income students. They are manipulated into certain actions in order to go to college, while their economically advantaged counterparts are exempt from such requirements. (7) Simplification of the Application Process. The complicated student aid system is actually a barrier for many potential college students. There should be one free, standardized, and simplified form for all institutional, state and federal financial aid. " The system for updating financial aid information should be changed as should the definition of an "independent student". Very low-income students should not have to fill out application forms, and more consistency in student aid administration should be ensured. (8) College Work-Study Improvements are necessary to ensure that new jobs for College Work-Study students are actually being created, that an adequate wage is provided, and that students are being placed in jobs that are relevant to their academic or career (9) Elimination of Delayed Disbursement of Student Loans. Such a delay is an unnecessary hardship on students who depend on loan money to start or stay in college, and thus would force many students to drop out Nonpunitive. measures to decrease student loan defaults should be pursued instead. (10) Elimination of the Penaltics Imposed on Working Students and Others. The needs analysis must be changed so that students do not lose AFDC, welfare, or other federal aid after receiving student aid, and are not penalized forworking, and to lessen the financial burden on working dependent students.

We hope our effort will bring Parkside students closer and set the stage for improved cultural relations next year on campus. Let's make this campus a positive experience for everyone. Thanks. Deborah Kreuser P.I.C. Secretary Let's Unite I am writing in response to the name withheld upon request from the March 7 issue of the Ranger. First, I'd like to comment that obviously, you thought that what you had to say was important enough to be in print, isn't it worth your signature at the bottom? Second of all, you accuse Chris Daniels of accusing you of racism. In going back to his article from February 21,1 don't see a finger pointed at any one. Mr. Daniels was just testifying his own experiences and says that racism exists. He docs not, however, state that this is a one way street. As far as the rest of the letter, you state that Mr. Daniels says "white'' people are ignorant. By your statements such as accusing feminists of blaming problems on White Men and your question of if you were ignorant just because you were born a "white" male, I would say you your self, Mr. Name Withheld, are ignorant. You arc right as far as school being a place for learning, but it is also a place for cultural growth on EVERYONE'S part. I understand your frustration of you and your family working hard for your education and seeing others just get their tuition paid, but I'm in the same boat. And, I won't complain! Some things one has to work for, and for me, I guess my education is one of those things. The bad part is, I am half Asian and half Caucasian. I am listed as a womon of color, yet when I go to apply for minority grants, I cannot even apply. One look at me and the office tells me I am not eligible because I am not a minority. How is that for some B.S.? And also, me being a feminist, don't expect anyone to change for me. Just, be nice. If you are, I'll return it twice over. That's the way it is, no one expects you or anyone to change. We, minorities & feminists just want the freedom, liberty, and justice we deserve. It is not too much to ask. It's ours anyway. But, hey, let us try to unite and end our war in the paper. If anyone wants to talk, I'm in PSGA.

April 11,1991 Spotlight Ranker, Page S, LA and C Part I: Student Support Services by Tod McCarthy Copy Editor The Learning Assistance and Counseling area, located in D175 of WLLC, is composed of a number of different departments. One of the most recent additions to its varied offering is Student Support Services (SSS). Originated in 1987, SSS is funded by a three year renewable grant from the U.S. Department of Education. The program has been refunded for an additional three years, and its services have been expanded from the 64 students enrolled in its first year. "The grant is funded to serve 125 students, all of whom must have a need for academic support," according toPam Smith, Administrative Program Manager for Student Support Services. In addition to Ms. Smith, SSS is staffed by Program Advisor Janet Conccntine, who has recently accepted the added responsibility of mentoring cnrollees, and Program Assistant Sharon Murphy. Duties of SSS include advising, offering assistance with financial aid inquiries, and giving as many forms of academic support as may be necessary to insure a successful collegiate experience for those students accepted into the program. Some of the guidelines followed by UW-Parkside's SSS program arc set by governmental agencies, but many of the specific concentrations arc tailored to fit regional student needs. Students may need assistance with cultural, economical, or social factors affecting their potential success at UWParksidc. Student Support Services is prepared to concentrate on the areas of greatest need and to use other services of the system as a referral base. Student Support Services is designed as a retention program. Assurance of certain services is a condition of the grant by which SSS operates, and sufficient financial aid to meet the full need is critical to both the students and the university. "Finance is one of the Student Support Services staff: Sharon Murphy, Pam Smith, Janet Concentine major reasons for attrition of students." said Smith. UW-Parkside needs a certain number of students to survive, and many of the students here need financial aid of some sort to remain enrolled. Considering the number of students that SSS is currently limited to serving, someeligibility requirements must be met Students must be physically disabled, must be first generation college students, or come from families of ow l income. Approximately 15-20 students in the program are disabled in one respect or another, and Smith noted that learning disabled students are usually assigned to Learning Assistance, unlike the physically disabled students of SSS. Many of those students served by SSS fit more than one eligibility category, and enrollees must be referred through prescriptive advising or take the initiative to apply. Services of SSS cover a broad spectrum. High risk courses arc identified so that students may be advised to deal with them accordingly, and core course scheduling is provided to mcetCollegiatc Skills and BOK requirements. A holistic approach is used to plan for succes, so any and all facets of a student's being are taken into account. "We try to individualize to meet each student's needs "stated Smith. SSS monitors academic performance by use of mid-semester reviews and periodic inquiries to individual professors, in addition to numerous meetings with each student. Intrusive ad vising, as performed by S SS, requires very close monitoring to be successful, and Student Support Services is committed to doing whatever it takes to guarantee an opportunity for success. Approximately 600-700 students enrolled at UW-Parkside do not meet standard admission requirements, and as a result, many need some form of assistance. Nearly all student services arc subject to limitations, and distinction between the various services is necessary to avoid duplication. Student Support Services reviews and upgrades its objectives on a yearly basis to help students in areas not covered by other programs. A new submission for continuation of grant funding must be drafted yearly, documentation is required to prove the accountability and necessity of the program, and funding is adjusted accordingly. A great amount of documentation is compiled by SSS. Voluntary submission of Uniform Minority Information System (UMIS) is provided to Larry Turner of CECA. UMIS is a University of Wisconsin system mechanism to gauge success rates and the number of contacts made between students and advisors. SSS records are kept to track the success rates and other statistics indicating UWParkside student achievement The successes and failures of the past and present provide clues for dealing with future problems. Statistics compiled by SSS indicate that they serve a crosssection of the student population. Grade point averages, social skills, and cultural backgrounds are diverse. Of the 125 students receiving assistance of Student Support Services, 25 students have GPA'S exceeding 2.75, and of that number, 17 are currently listed as having attained a GPA of at least 3.0. A GPA of 2.75 or better can be critical for consideration of graduate school entry, and SSS has established a goal figure for minimum graduate school candidacy in respect to its serviced students. Adherence to the "Provision of Academic Support" specify that Student Support Services must invest 10% of its available time working in collaboration with other university departments and services. A condition of its operating gram, it also requires that other existing programs be used whenever possible. As a result, SSS has often participated in recruitment and financial aid workshops, and an effective referral system is in place. Services performed by SSS have been expanded, refined, and redefined over the years in an attempt to meet the changing needs of the students at UW-Parkside. Formation of study groups, an efficient and effective system of reviews, and tutoring referrals have all been beneficial to a great number of students. Identifying successful role models, especially those of high academic achievement, can provide an individual with stimulation to excel, and the objective assessment of the overall student, as performed by SSS, offers valuable insight into what yet needs to be done. Many students came in for assistance while this reporter was conducting interviews and investigating the everyday operation of SSS, and the questions they needed answered covered nearly every facet of student life. Pam Smith is many things to the students who need her and seek her advice, and after several such encounters stated "Purely academic discussions are a luxury." Student Support Services takes students from "dependence to independence," said Smith, and students all have different levels of need to conquer to attain that position. Changes that may be incorporated in Student Support Services duties in the future may include an expansion of instructional programs on the process of learning, such as the "Strategies for College Success" course offered in the past SSS has established a great rapport with the students it serves, and w ith the increasing number of referrals coming in each year, the rapport may be a critical factor in efficient use and implementation of retention services. Student Support Services is designed to prepare students for standard advising by the end of their sophomore years with many requirements fulfilled and necessary survival skills instilled. Statistics prove that the program has been increasingly effective, and with the concern and care shown by its staff, will only continue to improve the collegiate success rates of the students it serves. Next Week's Spotlight: Learning Assistance and Counseling Part II Women's Center to sponsor an international bakesale April 11 News Releases Gwen Heller * Feature Editor Look no further than the Library Alcove adjacent to the Women's Center on April 11 from 11-lpm for an international food fcst that will undoubtedly please your palate. This fundraiser sponsored by the Women' s Center wi U of fer bitesized treats native to Japan, Austria, Ireland, and Africa, among other exotic locales. Items will range in price from 25-50 cents. All proceeds will be donated to the Parkside Childcare Center few the purchase of new children's books. AccordingtoJenniferBurns of the Women's Center, the majority of current materials, which have been donated, are stereotypical regarding sex and race. "All of the fairy tales are portrayed with white characters. We would like to see the children's literature program become more egalitarian.

Catholic Student Club participates in Habitat for Humanity project Gwen Heller Feature Editor Some students chose to lounge on the beaches of Florida. Others tried to crank out a term paper in the library instead of "letting it go" until the due date. Still others worked off final tuition payments. But there were two Parkside students who dedicated their spring break to charily. Sophomore Randy Pridcaux and Jim Witters, a junior, travelled to Savannah, Georgia to participate in a project known as Habitat for Humanity. The national program is most commonly associated with Former President Jimmy Carter who serves as a spokesman. Volunteers donate labor and supplies to construct housing for low-income families and the poor. Each house costs approximately $50,000 to $60,000 to construct There arc 553 Habitats for Humanity building centers in the country. These members of the Catholic Student Club were accompanied by Father Mark Gotvald, the club advisor, to Savannah for their six day adventure. Father Mark Gotvald, Jim Witters, Randy Prideaux "For the most part, we shingled houses and did grunt work like pulling nails out of boards,*' said Prideaux. "We worked on a brand new house as wel as an older home that was being remodeled. We spent the majority of our time pulling down old beams on thai place." Other volunteer groups from Indiana and Alabama collaborated on the same buildings as the Parkside team. The efforts of volunteers comprise 98 percent of the labor and there are only three fulltime paid employees at the Savannah compound. While the majority of materials and labor are donated, the quality of the finished products are first rate. Although the focus of the trip was the construction work, there were opportunities for sightseeing. "We toured Tybce Island where Fort Pulaski, an impenetrable Civil War fort, is located. We also took acniise down the Savannah River," explained Pridcaux. The club will consider participating in the program again next year depending upon the interest level of the members. Wisconsin Bell ups rates Continued from Page I 14%, with an allowed rangeof 12%- 18%. If their rate of return goes above 18%, they only need to reduce their rates enough to bring them back down to 18%. But in the unlikely event that their earnings fall below 12%, they can increase their rates enough to return them to the targeted rate of 14%. This proposal would basically allow Wisconsin Bell to determine its own depreciation schedules. It is therefore unlikely that Bell will ever exceed its rate of return range and have to suffer a refund, as it can simply adjust its depreciation expenses to keep its return just below 18%. Customers may therefore be denied refunds they might otherwise receive. _ Walter explains, "As I stated earlier. United Council represents over 150,000 people, and at this time, I would have to puta majority of these people in the category of the ten percent who would be hurt by the change in regulation. This new proposal will most likely eliminate reductions and refunds due to the customers over the next three years. So Wisconsin Bell is able to propose a plan that will have rales capped for the next three years and come here saying that will be a good deal, when in actuallity there is a good chance rates will actually fall over the next three years and under this new plan, they will be able to keep the rates at their current levels." Walter stated, "Let's take a look of some of those people who will be forced to pay more for a system that doesn't appear to be very usage sensitive at all. I have already told you that students, who typically will not be able to afford the increases, should be included in this group, but let's not leave out other high use groups such as senior citizens, who are not as mobile as the rest of the population, blind people, who depend on the use of the telephone and the frequent use of directory assistance, and let us not forget low nci omepersons, who often have to share telephone scr vices because of difficulty in af fording the current system." Wisconsin Bell is asking to create a new system it claims will be of benefit to a majority of customers involved. Bell wants to increase the authorized rate of return on base and the authorized rate of etum on equity, so while this mutually beneficial system costs all of us even more money than the current system, they will not have to return these extra earnings. This package is the best of all worlds for Wisconsin Bell, and perhaps well on the way to being the worst case scenario for many of us." Walter adds, "I hope the Public ServiceCommission seesclearly the motives behind this and votes the entire proposal down. Surely Wisconsin Bell's useof us monoply of customers to subsidize ventures in the competitive arena does not deserve the title of the 'Wisconsin Plan,' nor a place in Wisconsin. And if necessary, I, along with my constituency, will encourage the Legislature to take action in the upcoming session."

Schools interested in participating were required to make formal application and be selected in order to take part in the simulation. This is the sixth time Parkside has scntadelegation to a national simulation. As in past years, the trip was under the supervision of Dr. Gerald Greenfield, Professor of History and International Studies and Director of the Center for International Studies. In preparing to represent Sudan on political, economic, social and cultural issues, we met several times in the library and did independent research to become famil- - iar with the history of the country, which has suffered from famine and ethnic rivalry in recent years. We had the additional support of Dr. Peter Bechtold in Virginia, a specialist on Middle Eastern affairs, to whom we placed two conference calls during the week before the trip to ask questions. Twenty-one schools from around the country took part in this year's National Model League of Arab States program. Since there were five committees and ten people in our group, we were able to assist by lending delegates to represent Libya when one of the schools was unable to attend at the last minute. This was most appreciated by the sponsors of the simulation, and added another dimension to our learning experience.

THE END- TBA!!! raise money for the four-day trip the Parkside delegation had a bake sale and bowl-a-thon; individual delegation members sought donations from local businesses and organizations. The University contributed the majority of funds to cover the expense of the trip; without this support the group would not have been able to participate. A visit to the Sudanese Embassy was the first activity for the group after arrival in Washington. This was followed by registration for the simulation and a plenary session attended by all delegates. We had evenings free to sightsee and dine in ethnic restaurants. Most of our time was spent in committee sessions, drafting resolutions regarding the various concerns on each committee's agenda. In the political committee, for example, the agenda included: 1. "New Arab Order" (issues of state sovereignty); 2. Arab-Israeli conflict; 3. Lebanon: unity, reconstruction, occupation; 4. Establishment of an Arab Higher Court to settle disputes among members; 5. Afro-Arab cooperation and relations with the U.N.; and 6. Yemen as a model for greater Arab unity. The resolutions which were passed in a final plenary session on Saturday were to be presented to the actual League of Arab States the following week for their consideration. Participation in these simulations is a great opportunity to broaden knowledge of the world, in learning aboutothcrculturesand their interaction in international organizations, such as the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the League of Arab States, to name a few. Parkside's delegation included a diverse cross-section of the student body—different majors, nationalities, and ages were represented. Members who attended included club director Steve Murphy, Chris Kenth, Bob Lasch, Victoria Bennett, Carla Fattah, Ray Wiggins, Deborah Cutler, Dave Towle, Dave Bell, Chris Kacmarcik, and Professor Greenfield. The Club for International Affairs hopes to expand this program and allow more students the opportunity to participate in future simulations. The CIA is grateful for the support the University provides. For those who are interested in knowing more about these simulations, the University hosts the high school OAS simulation each fall and the entire campus community is encouraged to observe or become involved in this event Earth Awareness Week '91 Tuesday, April 16 7:00 pm "WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH RECYCLING?" presented by Joseph Strohl | ; : |f; 105, §11 Wednesday, April 17 7:00 pm Open Mic Featuring musicians, poets, and other entertainment.

DOHERTY Columnist When an athletic department cuts five sports at a major Division I school, you would expect some opposition from the student body. The students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are not about to stand still and let their athletic department cut five sports at their school. In order to help eliminate a $1.95 million deficit, the Athletic Department at UW-Madison has proposed cutting baseball, men's and women's fencing and gymnastics. But cutting the sports may end up costing the athletic department $760,000 in student fees. For the past two years, each student at UW-Madison has been paying a $20-a-year fee to help save non-income sports. Now that the Athletic Department is proposing cutting five non-income sports, the Segregated University Fees Allocation Cbmmittec wants the $20-a-year fee to be eliminated. The students have a good point. They agreed to help save non-income sports, not bail the Athletic Department out of every mess the get themselves into. If the sports are going to be cut then the $20 fee has to go. Like the students at UW-Madison, the students at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside also pay for a large part of the Athletic Department budget through segregated university fees. Unlike the students at UWMadison, the students at UW-Parkside don't really seem to know or care how this money is spent. Next year, $73,101 of the Athletic Department's budget will come directly from university segregated fees. That means each student at UWParkside pays approximately $14 a year toward athletics. If the students are the people paying for the teams I would think they would take more interest in the Athletic Department. If you don't like the way things are being done, you have no one to blame but yourself. It is your money that is paying for the teams, so you, the students, do have a say in the way things arc run. Rangers Ranger hitters greet spring with 36-run outburst against MSOE Sweep Women get defensive cntinued from front page threw a four hit shut-out striking out five and walking none. For the first time all season, coach Linda Draft was genuinely pleased with the team's defense. "Our kids came up with some very tough plays this time," said Draft, "that was very encouraging." Parkside committed only one error in game one to UW-Oshkosh's three. The game was scoreless throughout the entire regulation seven innings sending the teams into extra innings. In the Rangers half of the eighth, the Titans gave the game away. Freshman third baseman Lori Stephens drew a walk. Draft put in sophomore Jackie Vukos to pinch run for Stephens. Vucos stole second. After pitcher Esselman was called out bunting foul with two strikes, catcher Rachel Sielaff walked Freshman Julie Mikulski then flew out for the second out. Laura Nedomski then hit a hard grounder to thirdbaseman Dede Trembly who was making great plays at third all afternoon. This time she did notcome through however and threw a routine ground ball into the din at first. The ball went past first and past the rightfielder backing up first and the two runners scored. Parkside went on to hold in its half of the eighth for the win. In game two of the twin bill, the Rangers Beth Hansen took to the hill and threw a great game. Hansen who came in with a 3-3 record has had a rough time getting good fielding from her teammates. Hansen receiving excellent fielding from her team, threw a two hitter walking three with two strike-outs. "Beth had an excellent pitching performance, we played excellent defense and had some excontinued from front page Mark Thompson teamed up to throw out MSOE's Mark O'Brien trying to stretch asingle toadouble. In the second, with the bases loaded, Thompson turned a double play on a ground ball near second to end an MSOE threat. In the third, Caccioppo drilled the Rangers first dinger of the year, a two-run blast with nobody out Those were the first of eleven runs in the inning as UW-Parkside racked up seven more hits, including Andy Berger's first hit as a Ranger. Berger, pinch-hitting for Green in the third, doubled and scored with two away. Tim Caies relieved Crandall, who surrendered a run in the third, to start the fourth. He was touched for a run in the fourth, and gave up a one-out double in the fifth,before finishing off MSOE to pick up the victory and even his record at 1-1. Game two started much the same way as the Rangers scored three times on four hits, featuring Dominic Delrose's two-run home run as one of four extra-base hits in the inning. Mike Caccioppo added some fireworks of his own in the MSOE half of the third. After grounding out to end the second, he and the home-plate umpire had a mild exchange as the Rangers took to the field. Apparently that exchange continued in the top of the third. One batter after MSOE'sTom in sweep cellent catches in the outfield with a swirling wind," said Draft Scoreless in the third, the Titans' first batter walked and then was sacrifice bunted to second. A base hit scored the runner and Parkside retired the last two hitters with runners on second and third. In the fifth, freshman Lori Stephens poked a solo home run over the220mark in left center into a stiff wind. The shot tied the game at one apiece. In the sixth Parkside got two more runs on three hits, two stolen bases and a passed ball. The runs sealed a 3-1 Parkside victory. "It was a great day for us," said Draft, "we played well in two games. We were hitting the ball." The two victories were important for the Rangers as they finally settled down and played team baseball. "Everybody is getting comfortable for us." Frank doubled home their first run of the game, Caccioppo made some comments concerning ball and strike calls. The exchange with the home-plate umpire heated up from mild to hot, as Caccioppo was threatened with ejection. After making a comment to one of the other infielders, the base umpire tossed Caccioppo. "I think it was unjust. I used no profanity or any comments directly to any of the umps," said Caccioppo after his 2 for 4 day was cut short MSOE ended up with two runs in the inning, cutting the Ranger lead to 5-2. UW-Parkside answered in a hurry with one run in their half of the third, followed by a five-run fourth, featuring Hollenbeck's third double of the day. Jeff Konczal pitched four innings for the win, giving up two runs on just one hit while striking out five. Phillips mopped up in the fifth, sandwiching a walk between three strikeouts to cap the 12-2 Ranger win. "What can you say about games like this?" added Caccioppo who was able to enjoy the weather for three innings after his ejection. "Everyone came out and hit, and it was good to see Berger and Cortez get pinch-hits in game one." Cortez, who pinch hit for Hollenbeck in game one, tripled to drive in a run in the fourth after getting his first hit as a Ranger with a single in the third. The sweep raised the Ranger's record to 7-6 as Konczal picked up his second win of the season. Windy-City Series is just not in the Cubs Ipll By JIM ' I^EWXIVB Columnist io ujaju ua. opruig ieven uie areams oi Daseoau diamonds, homeruns, double-plays, bleacher seats, beer, and hot dogs, is catching. For the most part, spring training is lackadaisical. The good players don't try too hard—they have their jobs— and the rookies, well most of them don't make it. Yet, it never ceases to excite us. Spring training is the taster, the appetizer. Spring training is over and it's time for the main course, regular season play. Every year I say ."The Sox could do it. They got a chance." But this year I believe it. The Sox have all the pieces: Pitchers, Catchers, Infielders, Outfielders, DHs, and last year's Manager of the Year. The opportunity is there, they have the talent. Yeunost analysts are picking the Sox to finish right around .500 or worse. The funny thing is that they are also picking the Cubs to finish first, to go on to the Scries, and to win the Scries. That would be nice, but it ain't gonna happen. A h rvf VC SCVeral ^credible Payers in Ryne Sandberg, Mark Grace, Andre Dawson, and Shawon Dunston, but their pitching is hurting. I wo of their starters have injury problems (Harkey, Sutcliffe), so you can t count on them coming back strong, and their manager, Don Zimmer, well, he isn't that great. So, I predict that there will not be a Windy City Series. The Cubs will not make it, but the Sox got a chance. Trade Notes: The Sox gained Bo Jackson. If he returns his impact could be fell, but he strikes out more than Sammy Sosa. The Cubs got rid of Mitch Williams. Good riddance to bad pitching form and unreliable innings. Apr O R 1 S Ka n ue r .

I?W| Runners take fourth in 'Cold'man Invitational Bj MIKE McKOWEN Sports Writer The UW-Parkside women's track team compiled 57 team pointsto finish in fourth place in the first team scoring meet of the outdoor season. The meet, hosted by UW-StevensPoipt is nicknamed the "Coldman Invitational", but mother nature had other ideas for the Saturday meet In the 85 degree heat and 20 mile an hour winds, runners had difficulty adapting to the sudden weather change. Many runners had to drop outof the longer races. For the shorter races many of the Ranger runners had personal bests. The mile relay team of Kelly Watson, Pam Downing, Veronica Chamlec and Jane Kunz run a 4:07.7, good for third place and their fastest race of the year. In the 110m Dash, Pam Downing's 13.2 in the semi-finals qualified her to run in the final beat A time of 12.5 in the finals put her in second place. Jane Kunz who has just started working in the 400m was impressive closing strongly and finishing third at 1:003. The 200m race saw Pam Downing and Anne Thayer finish 2nd and 4th for the Rangers. The limes of 25.4 and 26.5 were both solid in the strong wind conditions. As the longer races were being run, the conditions had more effect f on the runners. In the 1500m run, Julie Rader and Lori Seidel took 8th and tenth. Kelly Watson's 2:30.6 in the 800m run placed her in sixth. The 10,000m run brought the only individual champion to the Rangers. Ann Stokman's victory in the longest race of the day typifies the Ranger stronghold On long distance running. Ann ran a 40:23.8 and was followed by teammate Tara Roy in 3rd at 41:21.8. The Rangers withoulfield events, have always relied on the long distance races by cross country runners to rack up team points. Ann and Tara both ran excellent races keeping on pace for the 6.2 miles. Tricia Breu, another cross country runner placed third in the 3000m run at 10:55.9. Jennifer Zalewski raced strong coming of injuries which have kept her out most of the year. She keeps showing improvements as she returns to health. Her 20:02.9 i the 5000m run was good for a fifth place finish. As always a strong UWOshkosh team was too much for the rest of the field. A team total of 214 points and a 105 point margin of victory over 2nd place UW-Eau Claire shows that the Titans are looking for a National Championship this season. Last year they took second in the NCAA Division II Championships. MONDAYS REX RIZZ and the Singing Machine WEDNESDAYS LADIES NITE Ladies receive a carnation and drink $.75 drinks all night long.

Rangers split double header with Phoenix By TED McINTYRE Asst. Sports Editor Coming off the teams best day of the season, a two game sweep Saturday ofUW-Oshkosh, the UWParkside Softball team split a double headder with UW-Green Bay in Green Bay on Sunday. In game one, the Rangers hit everything the Phoenix threw at them, exploding for 14 runs, by far their best offensive output of the season. Unfortunately, the Rangers could not end the game by the eight run rule as Green Bay came up with three in the third and five in the sixth. Junior Tara Carlson scored twice and went three for four. Janet Mikulski was three for five with five RBI's. Laura Stock had four hits. Rachel Sielaff and Lori Stephens each had two RBI's. "The first game was a circus," said coach Linda Draft, "Green Bay did not have a clue what was going on. They helped us a lot with their mental errors." Jeanne Essclman got the win for Parkside to up her record to 3- 3. Game two was a different story. Parkside had many opportunities to win but let the game slip away to the tune of a five four loss. Parkside jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first only to give up three in the bottom half. Each team scored once in the fourth and fifth as UW-Parkside could not come up with a rally late to win. Beth Hansen got the loss and is now 4-4 on the season. "The game had some great defense, we just could not pull out a win," said Draft. UW-Parkside, now 8-9 on the season is entering the middle of their schedule. The Rangers will play most of their home games in the upcoming weeks and have an excellent chance to mature into the winning teams Draft has had in past seasons. Parkside will play at the College of St Francis Tournament Saturday and Sunday. WMARanpiT S\tfiktt of the 'Week: Signaling the Start of Spring As Major League Baseball gets set to open the 1991 campaign, it is only fitting that a UW-Parksidc baseball player cracks the Athlete of the Week ranks this week. Team Co-capiain, Mike Caccioppo, signaled the start of baseball in his own way in a week when the UW-Parkside Rangers won three of four games. In that span, Caccioppo reached base nine times. Five times, he reached with hits, one of which was the first Ranger home run of the season. He accumulated a.555 average, and a 1.000 slugging percentage knocking in three runs in the four games. This year, Caccioppo has moved to third base from his starting spot at first a year ago. He hit 333 in 19 games in that campaign, his first as a Ranger after transfering from Southwestern Community College in Iowa. . An Accounting major, Caccioppo is in his third year of eligibility in baseball. So far, he has started well with a 364 average. He is third on the squad in RBIs with seven, and first in walks with eight For havingaexcellent week to kickoff the startof the baseball season we salute Mike Caccioppo as the UW-Parkside, IBM/Ranger Athlete of the Week. Mike Caccioppo April 11,1991 Feature Far-Out Days Ranger, Page 13 by Moss Special to the Ranger Last summer, my friend Steve bought a used ski boat for a couple hundred dollars. So one sunny morning, Steve and I decided to go water skiing. But after borrowing his aunt's skis, looking for the boat key, finally giving up the search and going to the local boat place for a key, working on the engine, and finding a trailer hitch, etc., it was 5:30 pm. The sun was threatening its descent and Steve was determined more than ever to go skiing. We proceeded to call around for a third person to go with us, since the law requires a spotter. We finally found someone. (And we had to beg him to go.) Greg really wanted no part of our venture, but he was a mutual friend and at last he gave into our pressure. We loaded the boat and picked him up. He was clad in his usual blue jeans, black concert T-shirt, and hightops. Steve and I had a blast We each took turns driving while the other skied. Greg's job was to tell the driver when the skier had fallen. He was becoming annoyed because his hair was constantly blowing in his face. I drove Steve for his last run around the lake. Now, I must tell you about the summer we were having. It was hot and it was dry. All the l a k e s were engine screamed a bloody roar which died with an unpleasant crunch. I held onto the steering wheel for my life as he t boat landed ARE YOU!" I imagined myself in court: the lawsuits, the lawyers. I imagined telling Greg's parents how their son had died in a most unfortunate ski aclow. As the radiant summer sun declined to meet the horizon, its reflection from off the water blinded me temporarily. Greg said that Steve had fallen. I cranked the wheel hard to the left, heading toward themiddlcof the lake to bring the boat around for Steve. (Of course, I did this at full throttle.) In a split second, the boat lifted completely out of the water and the Life after Parkside by Kimberly A. Tenerelli Feature writer What docs it take to be a Dentist? Four years at UW- Parkside, and four years at a rag duate school. Once graduated from graduate school, a three day board exam by the state must be taken. When you pass this exam, you get your license to practice. Usually you arc in debt by the time it is over. Butas Dr. Susan Cable, a 1981 UW-Parkside graduate said,"In the end it can be fulfilling." Susan majored in Life Science and Chemistry at UW-Parkslde. She then went on to graduate from Marquette in 1985. Susan felt that UW-Parkside gave her a solid education to prepare for graduate school. She felt that the advising at UW-Parkside was good and also stated that being taught by a professor instead of teaching assistant was helpful She has owned her own practice for six years now. Being a dentist, she works on patients to improve oral health. This includes cavities, bridges, crowns, and simple extractions. But dentistry is not all she needs to know. She needs people skills, like a good bedside manner. "Even though it is a chair, you still have to have it," expressed Susan. "Most people are afraid of the dentist and you have to reassure them." Owning a practice, as Susan does, takes more than medical knowledge; it takes business and personnel knowledge. Susan has to oversee the everyday activities of hex staff. "I was lucky to have an accountant in the family," Susan stated. This helped her with the business side. Although S usan felt her major at UW-Parkside was a god choice, she wished that she had taken more business classes. This would have helped her to be more familiar with the business aspect of her practice. The approximate starting salary of a dentist is around $20,000 annually. Susan did state that the salary can reach up to $80,000 after practicing for awhile. After graduate school, Susan said it is on its side. I had hit the rock bar, which I inconvieniently forgot was in the middle of the lake. My immediate concern was for Greg, who I thought was probably lying unconscious underneath everything that had fallen on his side of the boat. I quickly threw everything out into the water, and to my horror, he was not there. I began screaming, "Greg! Greg! Where are you! GREG! WHERE not unlikely tobe$50,000-$80,000 in debt Because of this, many students who pass their board exam work in an existing practice or buy into an existing one. It is too difficult to open you own practice right after school. You need to work your way into it. There is a program offered by the state of Wisconsin to place you where dentists are needed after passing the board exam. You work at this practice for four to five years and then buy the practice from the state for about $1.00. The areas that the state places you, however, are usually remote with a small population. To prepare for this type of career, Susan suggests research in the health science area. Find out what area of health science you would like to work in and look for the graduate college that fulfills your needs. She also suggest visiting a practice that you are interested in to see if it is what you really want to do. Her advice is,"It is a long haul and a lot of money but it can be fulfilling." result of my driving and the setting sun. 1 imagined what Steve was going to do to me for totalling his ski boat My life was over, and then I heard laughter. A burst of laughter I w ill never forget Steve was bobbing up and down, and he was laughing so hard he was choking. At that moment, I watched Greg's tall frame stand up from the water. He was of course soaking wet and the lake's waves barely lapped over his hightops. He was glaring at me from about thirty feci away. "Greg, arc you all right?" I asked seriously. He immediately flipped me off and lewdly stated a handful of obscenities. I exploded with laughter, knowing that everything was okay. I thought I was going to need a doctor I was laughing so hard, all the while Sieve's laughter was mixed with gurgling and coughing. The boat turned out to be okay; the only damage was a chipped prop. And it was many months before Greg could conjure any laughter in remembrance of this experience. It's good to have a sense of humor and accept things for what they really are. My friend had bought the boat for good times and that's what we were having; a great memorable time. (Especially since no one was hurt) And remember that when your future is so bright you're blinded by it, put on some shades and cool out. Slow down and take time to look around because you never know what might be around the comer. English/Art Publication The following is a list of students who will have their work—poetry.

Pace 14 Feature April 11,1991 Impressions are critical if you want success in the business world compiled by Dawn Mailand Entertainment Editor Editor's Note: This is the first of many segments on graduation and how to get that "all important" first job. The spring 1991 graduating class will soon be facing its biggest challenge yet; competing successfully for a job after graduation. Although the graduates are receiving Bachelor's degrees in different majors, they will all be starting from the beginning in the job market The fact is, many college graduates are not always adequately prepared for their first encounter with the "real world." According to a recent survey, even straight "A" students often receive failing marks in good grooming and making a successful impression on job recruiters. It's no secret that the college campus and corporate America are worlds apart, and in today's competitive job market graduates need to adapt accordingly. In fact, a recent survey found graduates arc seeing their altitudes make significant changes right down to their now-polished shoes. How people change from the Walls of Ivy to the Halls of Business was the subject of 150 young (age 21 to 30) professionals from around the country. Of course, graduates undergo many changes in areas like eating and drinking habits (better nutrition replaces cold pizza for breakfast), sleep patterns (no more all-nighters for you need eight hours rest for that morning meeting) and living arrangements, but this study looked at another attitude shift that is just as dramatic and important—an increased emphasis on good grooming. Among young professionals in New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas and Los Angeles, the survey found that only 50 percent of the respondents said they considered good grooming important while they were in college. However, 90 percent of those same young professionals now consider good grooming important to getting ahead professionally. While emphasis on five aspects of good grooming( shoes, suits, shirts, nails and hair) increased over time, the importance of wearing clean, freshly-shined shoes made the largest jump. Among the respondents, only 44 percent had considered this important in college, but that figure increased to 78 percent for the same young men and women once they were in the work place. "It's a reflection of how effective you will be in business," said Christine Mannion of New York, when asked why she feels shined shoes arc important to success. "People in power notice the litde things," added an especially insightful respondent, Lisa Manan of La Canada, CA. Sponsored by Kiwi Brands, the study is part of a continuing look at attitudes on the importance of the details of good grooming and making favorable first impressions. Nine out of 10 respondents in the poll said good grooming was either extremely or very important to becoming a senior executive. SIGNIFICANCE: A total of 250 personnel professionals nationwide were queried by Audits & Surveys, a New York-based market research firm. More than 95 percent rated good grooming either extremely important or very important for young job applicants. However, more than 25 percent of the respondents also said less than half of their applicants met six basic first impression and grooming standards. The survey asked corporate, executive recruiter and agency personnel people how many applicants met such grooming and first impression standards as wearing a suit, trimming their nails and wearing freshly-shined shoes. Although most did generally wear a proper suit, it turns out that attention to detail often stops there. The most common mistake made by male job applicants was the failure to get a good shine (43 percent). Among women applicants, the lack of a firm handshake was the number one mistake, although a third of the respondents also said that women generally don't keep up their shine. In next week's issue (April 18), the Image Index, a package designed to enable people to have a better start with first impressions, will be explained in more detail This package is full of information about getting that first job, earning a promotion or completing a successful sales presentation. .

His involvement came naturally because he has always been interested in wildlife and the outdoors, and he loves big dogs. After working with the Timberwolf Preservation Society for a few years. Fowler and some other members realized that they had a different outlook than the Society. In 1986, they started a new organization called Friends of Wolves. Friends of Wolves is primarily an educational organization. "Our intent is to help people better understand the wolf from a balanced point of view, and not to treat it as the big bad creature that myths and legends have made it out to be. Because it really is not It is a highly persecuted animal." Friends of Wolves has a large exhibit booth that features the wolf, as well as other animals. It is a forum to present the animals objectively and to educate people. They distribute free literature and sell T-shirts, books, art, and anything that presents the animals in a positive way. Friends of Wolves is a nonprofit organization, and all money is used to support the program; all help is volunteer. Professor Fowler presents about two programs a month to school groups and other organizations. On April 18, as Part of Earth Awareness Week, Friends of Wolves will set up a booth at UWParkside and Professor Fowler will present a program on wolves from 3:30 to 4:30. "We're not trying to make [the wolf] out as a saint. It's just like any other creature on this planet. It has its role to play, and what humans have to avoid doing is trying to humanize these wild animals and say that something is good or something is bad. There is nothing good or bad about nature; it's just the way nature works." Timberwolves once ranged over all the lower 48 states. Today they are limited to Minnesota, Wisconsin, Montana, Idaho, Washington, and Michigan. They migrate from Canada where there are about 50,000 wolves. The wolf population in Minnesota is estimated to be about 1500-1700 wolves, and there are only about40 in Wisconsin. Fowler said that before the white man settled here, there were probably 5,000 wolves in Wisconsin. Then, for a time, there were no wolves in Wisconsin, the last one having been killed by an automobile in 1958. With the enactment of the Endangered Species Act and placeing of timberwolf on the Endangered Species List, the wolf has slowly migrated back into Wisconsin. A typical wolf pack consists of about eight animal and needs about one hundred square miles of territory. The Wisconsin DNR has set a target population for Wisconsin of eighty wolves. Fowler says that a healthy wolf population offers no significant threat to humans. When rabies hits a wolf population, they will kill people and livestock, however rabies is not a serious threat anymore. "There is no demonstrable evidence that healthy, wild, wolves have ever purposefully attacked humans. Normally, the wolf is a very shy animal when it comes to humans." People who live near wolf populations often hear them and see signs of their kills, yet rarely or never actually see a wolf. This leads to the myths and legends about wolves. There is a large wolf population near Ely, Minnesota, and biologists have established the International Wolf Center in Ely for the study of wolves in the wild. The residents of the area respect the wolves, and they do sometimes see wolves near their residences. Friends of Wolves sponsors an outing to Ely each year. Next week, look in The Ranger for a story about these Wolf Weekends, and interviews with participants. Movie Review Class Action- High powered courtroom drama by David Wick Staff Writer What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the sea? A good start If you have ever heard one of these jokes and wondered why people say such mean things about lawyers, then you should see Class Action. Class Action is new film staring Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrontonio and it is now playing at ht e Cinema's 5 theater in Kenosha and outlying areas. , Class Action is about a father and daughter on opposite sides of a class action suit against a large car company. Hackman is the lawyer who decides to tangle with the company, and his daughter, who seems to hate his guts, decides to take the opposite side and the struggle causes them to evaluate their relationship. Hackman gives a superb performance as the anti-establishment liberal lawyer who is terribly flawed by lust for fame and power. He really stands out as a ear listic character. Lawyers are usually portrayed as either total scumbags or men with hearts of gold. Hackman is both of these, making the character fun to watch. Mastrantonio plays an angry woman with something to prove. Her ambitions are not to do the right thing, but to win. Her character makes an unwarranted switch in attitude toward the end of the film. It might have been more interesting if she had stayed as cold and callous as she was in the beginning of the film. The scenes in the courtroom were not as interesting as the struggle going on between Hackman and Mastrantonio. Hackman's performance stands out, as do most of his performances. Class Action is good drama with a lot of interesting insights into the world of law. I grade this film 3 1/2 stars out of 4 stars.

Page 16 Feature Diary of a non-traditional student: juggling of by Sharon Scheel Special to the Ranger To some students, studying means never running out of coffee. Homework, classes and scheduling lead the "grocery list" of priorities in my home. I am a nontraditional student. A non-traditional student is someone who attends college after some unusual time period has elapsed since high 9chool. Being a non-traditional student with a family and finding the time for studying is a challenge that requires plenty of coffee. 5:28 a.m. On a sunny Tuesday morning, the alarm rudely disturbs my sleep. I grudgingly slide out of bed and quickly dash to the shower. I recharge my self or f the new school day. Connie (my sixteen-year old daughter) awakens nexL Eventually, we cross paths briefly in the kitchen before she leaves to catch ha bus. Brew coffee. 6:30 am. My first cup of coffee warms me up to the new day, before I climb the stairs to awaken my youngest daughters. While Heidi (11 years old) and Sally (10 years old) wash and dress for their new school day, I eat a piece of buttered toast and drink steaming cups of coffee. The girls race down the stairs for a quick bowl of Cocoa Pebbles. We clear the table, load the dishwasha and lock the front door behind us. We are on our way to school. 7:40a.m. First stop is at Dr. Jones Elementary School. Sally waves good bye and meets her friends at the school doors.

Finally, I arrive at the UW-Parkskle campus. 8:15a.m. The Microcomputer Center is my fust stop. I am learning how to use the Macintosh computers. My keyboarding skills are adequate, but my knowledge of the software and its proper usage eludes me. 9:30a.m. Classes begin. I grab of cup of coffee in-between classes. This semester, I am carrying 15 credits, and Tuesdays are very hectic with back to back classes. Asa senior in communication, the classes demand my complete concentration and alert attention. 2:15 p.m. I hop in my car and return to Dr. Jones School. Sally and I proceed to Connie's bus stop and we wait there for about 8 minutes for Connie. She steps off the bus, into the car and I whisk ha to ha part-time job at the American Red Cross. Sally and I mm around Scheel's family at breakfast and head for home. Sally works on ha school assignments for about thirty minutes. 3:15 p.m. Heidi arrives. She changes her clothes and then empties the dishwasher. Sally sets the table and I b egin preparations for suppa. 4:30p.m. I climb back into the car and head back to the Red Cross to pick up Connie. Once I arrive back home with Connie, there is an IBM Volunteer of the Week Jason Asala, Student Community Service Newsletter Editor and a junior Psychology major at UWParkside, has been selected as the Volunteer of the Week. In January, Jason walked into the SCS Office and asked if he could become the editor of the SCS quartalyncwslctta. With Jason's skill in writing and his access to a computer, he produced his first newsletter two weeks ago. Three hundred issues were sent to student volunteers, agency directors and volunteer coordinators as well as interested people on campus and in the community. Carol Engberg, SCS Director, is very happy with Jason's help. "Jason is alifesava. Since my office hours Jason Asala have been cut to half time, I needed someone to take ova responsibilities such as the newsletter. I feel very confident that Jason can do a fine job. The comments from those receiving the newsletter have been extremely positive." "Jason is working on an externship at Innovative Youth Services in Racine, working on campus and attending classes. He was also a volunteer speaker at a psychology workshop emphasizing the importance of community service by college students. I cannot be more pleased with Jason Asala's commitment to the SCS Program and to his interest in experiential opportunities in the psychology field," said Engberg.

My non-traditional status derives from my set of post-high school activities. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for two full years, married, and raised three wonderful daughters. I entered the University of Wisconsin-Parkside in the summer of 1990. As a single parent (who happens to be a college student), my life is enriched with the study of communication, my constant attempts to decode high school jargon, an appreciation of the difficulties of middle school adjustments and hands-on experiences with elementary school projects. My hand rests on the heartbeat of our local educational system, as well as the quiet dripping of my coffee poL by Gwen Heller Feature Editor Coping with an illness of any kind can be difficult, but even more devastating is suffering from a disease for which there is no cure. Chronic illnesses such as epilepsy, lupus, and asthma are asampling of the types of illnesses a new campus support group would like to target Sponsored by the Women's Center and Student Health Services, the support group welcomes anyone in the Parks ide community who either has an incurable illness or knows someone who does. Spouses, parents, and children can benefit from discussion on how a disease affects the whole family. JennifcrBumsof the Women's Center is coordinating this group with the help of Lorraine Meyer from SHS. "We want to show people how to be their own advocates," explained Bums. "Coping with medical bills and managing time, school, work, and family is like going through a frustrating maze." The group's main objectives are to discussexperiencesand share resources and previous treatment before tomorrow. Everyone clears their own places and Sally puts the milk, butter and serving items away. 5:30 p.m. Heidi loads the dishwasher and I wash the pots and pans. I make another pot of coffee. 6:00 p.m. Coffee refreshes me, so I can spend some "quality" time with the youngest girls. We watch a few of our favorite television shows, like "Who's the Boss?" and "Full House." We talk about subjects brought up on the shows, like what our life would be like if I owned an advertising agency and had a household helper named Tony. Connie works diligently on her homework, while peace and harmony reign with her siblings. 8:00 p.m. "Make your lunch," I remind them. "Get ready for bed." "I'm not tired." "Get ready for bed anyway." "Oh Mom!" Typical snatches of nightly conversation. 8:30 p.m. Bedtime for younger girls and homework time for mom. Originally I thought we could do our homework together at the kitchen table. I discovered that I need quiet, solitary concentration to complete my assignments. Research papers or lengthy documents arc handled on the weekend when I block a specific period of lime for studying. 11:00 pm. "Turn down the music, Connie, and don't stay up too late. Good night" Exhausted, I turn on the television and climb into bed. The droning of late-night television shows lulls me into restful slumber. Undergraduate work for me requires constant attention, and lots of coffee. As I receive each syllabus at the beginning of the semester, I enter important dates into my master calendar. Maintaining my calendar helps me to give order to my chaos. r—'—* —*— The Wisconsin In Scotland Summer Program information among participants.

Cacciotti A special to the Ranger Two friends meet in the halls of UW-Parkside. "Hey, did you get wasted last night?" "No. but Rick did." "Did he really drink four beers in five minutes?" "Yeah, he did it on a bet He was wandering around looking out windows, then he passed out" Is this an example of the prevailing attitude on drinking alcohol here at UW-Parkside? The answer is "yes" according to some of the staff who deal with students. DeAnn Posse hi. Director of Residential Life says, "Most of the problems we have are drinking related. Fights, sexual assault suicidal depression, roommate conflicts and noise. Drinking plays a role." David Ostrowski, head of Campus Police, stated, "Most of the calls we respond to, especially serious problems, involve drinking alcohol in some way." Nancy Gentry, counselor for Student Health Services, sees students who are in trouble because of drinking. She says, "The attitudes of many young people about drinking are that drinking is a social requirement They drink to show their independence, to be accepted by peers, to increase their abilities to socialize." UW-Parkside is located in an area that has strong cultural attitudes on drinking. Wisconsin!tes are ranked number one in chronic drinking (more than 60 drinks per month), drinking and driving, and per capita consumption of beer and brandy. Geographically, Wisconsin has seven of the top ten, "easiest cities in which to find a bar" in the United States. Alcohol is the fourth ranked killer of people in Wisconsin. This is from the 1988 Wisconsin Department of Health and Social Services annual report As many as ten percent of students at UW-Parkside have serious alcohol abuse problems. The tragedy is that most of them do not know anything about problem drinking. Alcohol related problems are enormous and widespread, yet society still operates under misconceptions. One misconception is that alcoholism only effects older people. According to the National Council on Alcoholism, 10,000 people 18 to 24 years old die each year in alcohol related accidents. Another common idea is that alcoholism is a man's disease. According to facts by the National Council, during the 1950's men with alcoholism outnumbered women 6 to 1. Today the ratio is 3 to 1 men to women. Women are becoming equal victims of this problem. According to the National Council, it is not how much a person drinks, but when, how, and why a person drinks that points to a problem. A problem drinker is anyone who has problems in their life associated with drinking. A member of Alcoholics Anonymous with thirty years of experience in sobriety working with alcoholics and problem drinkers put it this way: " A problem drinker takes a troubled emotional life and adds alcohol. The alcohol relieves these troubled feelings, leading the person to believe everything is alright. As time goes on, the alcohol magnifies the emotional discomfort, and now problems begin to occur. The thing that used to make them feel better, more at ease, now becomes the problem." A 19 year old student put it this way. "When I first started drinking, it was great: lotsof friends and lots of parties. I always felt a little out of place with people. Alcohol made me feel comfortable, I fit in. To me, alcohol was the social solution. I did not know that if alcohol docs that for me, it can turn around and cause me problems. I am an alcoholic and I am recovering." This is a young man. What about the large numbers of non-traditional students here? A 34 year old returning student had these comments. "When I was here in 1975, attitudes were different Getting stone stinking drunk on campus was common, it was acceptable. There was no talk about drinking being something to take seriously. What alcohol did for me was give me a feeling of invincibility of power. I l eft here convinced I would succeed. I never fora momcntthoughtalcohol could become a problem. At age 30,1 was successful, monetarily. I was also an alcoholic who attempted to take his own life. I have since learned to live life on different terms, without alcohol." A fact of life that is as old as recorded history is that 5 to 10 percent of people who drink alcohol become alcoholic. Alcoholism does not care about your race, gender, income or social standing. Alcoholism is an equal opportunity disease. Information about alcoholism is available on campus. Nancy Gentry at Student Health Services has a wide variety of literature on alcoholism. If someone has a problem or knows someone who might, they can come and get the information that will help them deal with the situation. "Don't make the mistake of taking well meaning but errant advice from people that don't know what they are talking about," says Gentry. Meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous are held every Monday at noon on campus in Molinaro D133. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings guarantee anonymity to people who attend. If students feel uncomfortable seeking help on campus, there are treatment and counseling facilities in Racine and Kenosha. Alcoholics Anonymous has a 24 hour hotline in Racine at 554-7788, and they would be happy to answer questions anonymously. Alcoholism is treatable. If a person has a drinking problem, treating it early is as advisable as it is with any disease. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as being too young to be an alcoholic.
