SIt-In focuses on peace, unity between races UW-Parkside students and staff take part in sit-in to protest King verdict, violence By Andy Patcb News Editor Enragedandfrustrateddue IOcurrentnational events, over one hundred UW·Parlcside students and staff members took part in a campus sit-in, complete with impromptu speeches, prayer, and ~hants of "Freedom," at noon last Friday, May I, 10 Upper Main Place. The idea for the sit-in was developed by freshman Myron Jackson as a means of peaceful protest to the recent acquittal of the Los Angeles police officers involved in the beating of Rodney King, and the resulting riots and looting occurring in Los Angeles and in other major cities through- out the United States. Competing with the noise created by the OW- Parkside volunteer program ice cream social/auc- tion taking place simultaneousty in Middle Main Place, the sit-in began with a small group of students standing in a circle, holding hands and reciting the "Our Father," but soon expanded to a large number of students and staff taking turns speaking and chanting for peace and equality for our troubled nation. Jackson organized the event after hearing of the decision and reports of the violence erupting in South Central Los Angeles and the outlying areas. Theriots, which soon spread toothercities through- out the United States, resulted in over forty deaths, see Page3 Prof, Ron Singer The Environmental Protection Agency has classified the Racinel Kenosha area, along with only six other such areas in the country, as a severe ozone non-attainment area, a classification that is sur- passed in severity by only the Los Angeles area. see Page 3 Counselor's Corner Since this is the last issue of The Ranger News lor the spring semes- ter ,I thought I would call to your atten- tion several things that are not only important to think about, but in the long run could help reduce your aca- demic stress level (ASL).

Adds junior communication major Starlin Stevens, "I can see where they would be mad, but 1 can't see killing people, looting, burning things down - they should fmd other ways to protest." Genera! reaction to the sit-in was positive. A strong mix of ethnic backgrounds was present, and while the function was only a small step in the fight for human rights and equality, itwas asignifi- cant one nonetheless. States Bennett, "(Through talking) we did something today. We came here and we talked, and 1 think this is important Racial ten- sions are very high on campus right now, but nobody is saying any- thing. Everybody came today . black, white, yellow, red - every- body came, and that made me feel good." Even with the positive emo- tion promoted by the event, many students expressed concern over what would come in the future, beyond the forty minute demon- stration. States junior political science major Latesha Jude, "The peace sit- in was astart People gave their own perspectives on racism - but what now? ..What we need todois get up and get busy. What we had today - that was fine, but now it's ODe o'clock, and whatare thepeople going to do? This isnice, but itisn't going to get us anywhere. All it is isabunch of talk and noaction...We need to get busy and get active." ContinuedfromPage 1 ing the decision as racially biased. Said sophomore psychology majorGary Wortham,aformerresi- dent of Los Angeles familiar with the Simi Valley area from which the the jurors for the King trial were chosen. "Simi Valley con- sists of about two thousand police officers and their families. You're saying that members of the jury were picked randomly from the people of Simi Valley, but what you're randomly picking are their school teachers, their babysitters, their lawyers, their bank tellers - these are all people that have direct contact with thepolice officers who were responsible for the type of activity involved in the Rodney King beating. "It wasn't a random selection, it was hand-picked. Wbere is the bestplace wecan get these guys off when they're so blatantly guilty? The Simi Valley. It was a perfect choice - from someone who has lived in the area ..nustme, they did exactly what they thought was nec- essary in 'order to take something that was clear cut and muddy it." While none expressed support for the violence erupting as aresult of the decision, most students un- derstood the reaction and were not surprised by it. Many students sympathized with the people of Los Angeles. and questioned what else could be done. Victoria Bennett, a junior po- litical science/sociology double major, believes in the possibility that rioting is the only way for the people to get their views across. "I don't agree with the riots in Los Angeles, but sometimes violence Take advantage of these extended hours: 9:00 am • -6:30 pm Noon- 1:00 am 7:45 am • 1:00 am 7:45 am • 11:30 pm 7:45 am • 6:00 pm Not Necessarily THE END DiSimone snubbed Continuedfrom Page 1 Governor to appoint him. "WhenyotiputTerry Kohler's record next to AI Di Simone's. it's a complete mismatch," Sen. An- drea continued. Despite Di Simone's repeated rejection, Sen. Andrea still wants Di Simone to be on the Board of Regents. and is not afraid to ap- proach the Governor again. "If there's another opportu- nity: he promised, "and it would appear tome there will be, Iwill be talking with the Governor directly. "I've tried twice, and I'm go- ing to try again. But next time. I'll be telling the Governor, ']J'm not going to submit his name unless he has an even chance going in.... "I'm not going to lead anyone to slaughter." the outspoken Sena- tor con<:luded. Sen. AndreacitedDiSirnone's long historyofinvolvementin edu- cationandcivicleadershipasprime examples ofwhy Di Simone should have been selected for aseat on the Board of Regents. "Mr. DiSimone has long been active at the forefront of education and the University of Wisconsin System," commented Sen. Andrea. "He's received every honor you can obtain. He was one of the key leaders in the development of UW-Parlcside under then Repre- sentative George Molinaro. a Democrat, in the legislature. "It was his bill that led the fight to bring the university to Kenosha. "DiSimone got people; hera!- lied; he went up on the legislature. It wasn't an easy bill to pass. He went out and formed a committee, and he worked on every facet of it. He was a key coordinator. There were a number of key people, and he emerged as truly one of the leaders." Andrea believes Di Simone would be the perfect Board mem- ber. "He would serve students, he would serve all of us well because heisa strong believer ineducation. He got his (education) the hard way, and he wants others to have the opportunity (to get theirs)." Despite the fact that Gov. Thompson and Sen. Andrea come from different political parties, Andrea denies any partisanship in Thompson's decision. "Appoint- ments to the Board of Regents should not follow party lines," he commented. Andrea does. however, find it strange that so many Racine resi- dents have served on the Board of Regents in the past. "In the last fIfty years: stated Andrea, "there have been six people from Racine appointed." The last Kenosha resident to serve was Robert V. Baker, from 1932 to 1936.
