Page 9 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 1 1 UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - PARKSIDE Automobile break-ins plague university Dennis Clarke News Editor Four ears were broken into on campus during the span of two daysearly last week, according to theUW-Parkside Campus Police Incident Report Summary. Although Assistant Chief and Director of Campus Police and Public Safety Thomas J. Knitter saysincidents such as these "tend to be rare" at UW -Parkside, he doescaution the campus commu- nity. "You want to limit your risks as much as possible," said Knitter. "Lode your vehicle and hide your valuables." While Knitter admits the break·ins are indeed unfortunate, he is hesitant to classify the situa- tion as a crisis. "We certainly are a relatively safe campus," commented Knitter. "I wouldn't classify this as a spree at this point." Knitter comments that Cam- pus Police have alerted officials from Housing that the vehicle break-ins have occured. He also encourages anyone with informa- tion on any of the incidents to con- tact Campus Police, stressing that witnesses can remain anonymous. "If anyone has seen anything in terms of people acting suspi- ciously in the lots around the times of these occurrences, by all means, I would certainly encourage them to call," said Knitter. According to Knitter, the UW- Parks ide police work with lawen Continued on Page 3 THEWALL: How alcohol has affected Parkside students During Alcohol Awareness Week (October 19-23) many stu- dents contributed their thoughts andexperiences on THE WALL inMain Place. THE WALL was an area where students could write out, on an index card, how they have been personally af- fecied by alcohol. The following are a few of the responses (some are edited due10space constraints): -"One too many drinks + 2 months pregnant = a baby with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome." -"At 16, my best friend was rundown by a drunk driver. She wasina coma for one year before she died. The driver lost his license and spent one year in JID!." ·"Alcohol- itkilled my hus- band." -''When Iwas8,Icamehome fromcamp to find out that my 19 yearold brother had been drink- ing the night before, ran his car Into a tree and killed himself. I'm 20 now, and that day still haunts me." -'1 drankfor3 and 1/2 years. Hadfour car accidents, ten jobs, two trips 10a mental institution and saw five of my friends killed mcaraccidents. I've been sober for 17 years. No car accidents, no hospitals, no arrests. A brand new life." -"My father has been an al- coholic ever since I can remem- ber. He was never there for me when I was a child. I resented that, and maybe that's why I would never drink." -"M y 22 year old brother died when he fell asleep while driving home from a night out at the bars, and his ear went off the road into Lake Michigan. The autopsy showed that he was le- gally drunk." Alcohol is the number one drug abused in America - not cocaine, not crack. not marijuana _ALCOHOL. One in four people are directly affected by alcohol (either their own use or someone they care about). With 5200 students on cam- pus, that means approximately 1300 students' lives are affected by alcohol. If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol and would like to leam more about it or talk with some- one, stop by the Student Assis- tance Office (Molinaro D124) or call 595-2338 and askfor Marcy. Confidentiality is assured. There is help, and there is hope. WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1992 Ranger News photo by Gwen Heller UW-Parkside history professor John Buenker discusses American politics during last week's "Soup and Substance" lecture entitled "Where Have All the Voters Gone?" which was held in Main Place. Peace Corps recruiter visits campus Dennis Clarke News Editor A representative from the Peace Corps visited UW -Park- side last Tuesday as part of an effort to attract more applicants from southeastern Wisconsin. Peace Corps Representative Nancy Smith met with potential applicants throughout the day and . hosted an information seminar in Union 202 at 4:30 p.m. Smith was joined by Bob Mackey .a Peace Corps volunteer who had served in Cameroon. Together, they gave those who attended the late afternoon meet- ing an indication of how much timc and effort Peace Corps vol- unteers can expect to invest, as well as how much satisfaction volunteers can gel in return. "There are peaks and valleys in this experience, like there arc anywhere else in life," said Smith, who served as a business advisor with Peace Corps in Fiji. "There are extreme cultural differences, and it takes a lot of empathy and understanding." However, Smith felt the ex- perience was well worth the per- sonal sacrifice. "I would not have traded those two years for any- thing:' she commented. Smith said thatthePeaceCorps is currently trying to attract appli- cants with backgrounds in agricul- ture, business and education. "Our thrust ison what we call 'scarce skills''', said Smith. Peace Corps is especially looking for help with environmental programs. According to Smith, it is not the function of the Peace Corps to impose an American way of life on lesser developed nations. "The whole point of the pro- gram is to take our skills and give them to the countries that do warn them," said Smith. "Remember that we go to these countries by invitation only." Smith went through theexten- sive screening process with the potential appl icarus at the meeting. First. interviews arc set upon cam- pus with recruiters. Comprehen- si ve applications arc filled out with the recruiter's help. Next. applicants arc nom inated for service. However, a nomina- tion docs not guarantee an invita- tion to the Peace Corps, according to Smith. An in-depth evaluation process must take place first. The evaluation includes such things as medical tests and routine FBI ex- aminations into applicants' pasts. After that, applicants arc fi- nally given an invitation to train- ing, which lasts approximately three months and usually takes place in the country in which the volunteer will serve. "We as Peace Corps poople are representatives of the United States.so thescreening process is a very careful process," assured Smith. "It is extremely competi- tive. "Peace Corps volunteers arc very well respected," boasted Smith. Continued on Page 3 -....... November II, 1992 --------..

This translation reflects theera of government boarding schools. when federal bureaucrats look Na- tive American children from their families to learn "white ways."

Compulsory boardi ngschools are history on this reservation, re- placed by a modem public school system that serves the mixed popu- lation of primarily Assiniboines, Sioux, and Euro-Arnericans, But with the addition of two post-secondary schools in the last fIfteen years, the people of Fort Peck now have higher education in their backyard.
