"Weare trying touse genetic . engineering techniques to syn- thesize this ecologically sound insecticide," Chen explained. Of equal importance, Chen reported, he and his colleagues are exposing their students to sound experimental techniques and encouraging them in their development of skills in critical thinking through participation in this research. ''These are the most impor- tarn aspects of teaching," Chen concluded. Chen has contributed numer- ous articles and chapters to peri- odicals and. books on plant biol- ogy over the years. Recently, Sham-dow Kung and Charles J. Atntzen, editors, included a ma- jor chapter by Chen in their text- book Plant Biotechnology (Stoneham, MA: Butterworth Publishers, 1989).

Vaughn Thomp$on, Midwest Field Organizer for USSA, echoed Williams' feelings. "Students around the country, Wisconsin students included, know that con tin uaI tuition increases have a negative effect onaccess tohigher education," commented Thomp- son. Williams feared that the tu- ition increases would have the most negative effect on poorer students.

The demonstrators gathered in the Union Bazaar wearing teal col- ored T-shirts proclaiming various "Take Back the Night" slogans. Many wore red armbands. Fifty Tsshirts and more than ergnty armbands had been distrib- uted throughout campus last Fri- day, and there was a good turnout at all of the programs scheduled during Rape Awareness Week. Many students and faculty showed their support. "It's imponant to raise con- sciousness about rape awareness and the plight of rape victims," SlatedCarole Katt, a rape survivor attending the rally. Linda Markeson of Kenosha Sexual Assault Services gaveabrief but impassioned speech in the Union Bazaar expressing outrage over the closing of SI. Catherine's treatment center after twelve years ofservice with theexcuse that rape is not a health issue. Markeson was a founding member of Kenoshans Against Sexual Assault (KASA) during the mid 1970's, and was active inedu- cating the community and provid- ing services for victims of rape, KASA's plimary goals. After establishing the sexual assault treatment center at SI. Catherine's hospital, KASA dis- banded, satisfied they had done what was necessary 10provide ser- vices for sexual assault victims. There was a strong reaction from the community. As a result, KASA has been reformed, emer- gency funding hasbeenestablished The voice of Walt Whitman: a centennial celebration Wednesday, November 4 Noon Concert Series, CART D-II8 Barbara Enders, pianist & faculty member CLC Listening to a recently redis- covered recording of poet Walt Whitman reading from one of his poems will beone of the highlights of a free program to be held Wednesday, November II at 7;00 pm in the UW-Parkside Library/ Learning Center.

Refreshments will be served. and plans are underway for a new sexual assault treatment center. The funding, however, is due toexpire December 31ofthis year, and Markeson urged demonstra- tors to "Get angry and get active" in their support of this endeavor. Markeson suggested thatdern- . onstrators contact their legislators and make their feelings known. There is a meeting scheduled for anyone interested in volunteering to help the new treatment center get underway onTuesday, Novem- ber IO from 7-9pm in the south- W~jL brunch of tire Kenosha Li- brary. "Violence against women will not be tolerated!" concluded Markcson. Following Markeson' sspeech, Jennifer Bums, coordinator of the Women's Center at UW-Parkside, gave a reading that stressed how violent and degrading rape really is. Tuition Continued from Page 1 student grant appropriations within the next two years, paint an even bleaker picture for students, ac- cording to Williams. for example, said Williams, expenditures made fortheWiscon- sin Higher Education Grant (WHEG) program are notexpected to keep up with the proposed tu- ition hikes. "The WHEG program, which currently serves over 20,000 UW resident undergraduates, is slated to receive a tentative 3.1 percent increase next year and only a 2.6 percent increase in 1994. "Pell Grant awards will be cut next year, including a $100 cut in the maximum grant," added Wil- liams. "It is vitally imperative that the UW System and the state place a premium on policies that stimu- late the participation of economi- cally disadvantaged students in higher education," said Williams. "Quite simply, theUW System has ignored its duty and responsibility in this regard."

Some walkers, however, feIt that Friday's rally would have been more effective if it would have been a little more visible; the area of the walk was dark and deserted. "No man has a right to rape a woman. \V..:, should be a1JI~ lv gu where we want without having to be afraid," commented Lori McCollough, a Women's Ccnter volunteer. Survivors ofrape attend "Take Back the Night" rallies for healing purposes, according to Mary Kay Schleiter, a sociology professor at UW-Parkside. "It helps toredefine rape as a crime. ison. After the Regents look at it, the document will go into the hands of Governor Tommy Thompson for modification ,then to the Legis- lature, then back to Thompson. Williams urges the Board of Regents to take a look at the tuition increases in the budget. "The UWregentsmustact with prescience and advocate for an ac- cessible, quality UW education during and succeeding their bud- get deliberations next week," com- mented Williams. "More state funding is needed to partially offset tuition increases and allow President Lyall's vision for the UW to be accomplished with conscience and regard for the underrepresented in our society," added Williams. Slate Representative Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, commented in an interview with The Capital Times that increases in tuition should be lower than the ones pro- posed in Lyall's budget. "How long can we have tu- ition outpacing inflation?" heasked. State Representative Marlin Scheider, D-Wisconsin Rapids, in an interview with fheWisconsin State Joumal, agreed that the in- creases look "hefty," butadded that they are small in comparison with Pi Sigma Epsilon presents Simon Sez Infra-Red Paragon Thursday, November 5 Kemper Center (6501- 3rd Avenue) Proceeds to benefit Food For Families $6 Advance $7 At·the.Door Free Beer & Soda Many people stilldon'tr nize itas such, and womenar ecOg. bei bl d "P eStl1! rng arnec, rofessor Schl. d J '" "S . el~r a eu, U(V1VOrs iUarch to support and let out anger." g~ "A night of liberation c .. d ' Om. rnumcauon an understanding mind, body and soul.
