Wegner, 52, collapsed during an afternoon rehearsal at the university. The program was held at noon in the Communication Arts Theater, located at the south end of the main campus complex. A reception will follow. This will be the only service in the Kenosha/Racine area. Wegner joined the university in 1972 teaching music theory, composition, jazz fundamentals and music fundamentals. He was twice head of the music department, from 1973-75 and 1977-79. In addition to teaching, Wegner performed with the Parkside Piano Duo, the Kenosha Symphony and the Parkside Jazz Quartet. Wegner, a native of Saginaw, Mich., received bachelor's and master's degrees in choral music and piano from Central Michigan University and a master's and doctorate in composition from the University of Iowa. Survivors include his wife, Patricia, two adult children, his father, stepmother and a brother. Internment will be held in Michigan. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the August M.

Arts theater Tues., Nov. 23. The band, with about 20 members present, was rehearsing for a performance to be held Tuesday evening when Wegner, 52, collapsed. According to Heather Hall, a UWParkside senior, "They were rehearsing and he appeared to have something wrong with the piano. He stood up and he was checking the piano. The vocalist, jackie Allen, was talking to him. They proceeded to go on with the rehearsal and she was over by him again. He had fallen forward over the piano, over the keys, and then had swung back like it was some type of a seizure. Then he fell off the bench and Jackie called Tim Bell [jazz band director] over." "He fell over backwards with an audible thud we could hear up in the booth," says David Mauer, a member of the technical crew that was present at the time. "We heard that big crash and we thought that somebody had fallen off one of those platforms backwards in a chair. But then we saw him laying on the floor." "Tim right away asked if anyone here knew CPR," says Hall. "A few people in the group did have training in CPR but "you know that feeling is so scary that, well, I had it a while ago but I don't know if I could really do it. So they tried but he still had a pulse and he was breathing, so they really didn't need to do anything then." According to Mauer, he stopped breathing about a minute later. At that time Officer Schneider of the UW-Parkside Campus Police arrived and started CPR. "Tim," continues Hall, "had called upstairs to ask if anyone knew CPR and Susan in the office had called the nurses and the nurses came running. By the time they got here the ambulance had already arrived. It appeared to be pretty massive and there wasn't much that anyone could do." Medical personel tried to revive him before and during transport to St. Catherine's Hospital in Kenosha where he was pronounced dead. "It is such a real shock because of his lifestyle and eating habits," comments Hall. James McKeever, associate profes- Students and Faculty Remember Wegner "We do musicals at Parkside now because of Augie He allowed us an opportunity to do that," said Lisa Kornetsky, associate professor of dramatic arts and director of the teaching center. "He wasn't just somebody we paid to come in and choreograph. He was the musical director, he did everything that needed to be done. He did it because he wanted to, not because we were paying him, but because it was important to him and because he really cared about the work." "He conducted for Guys and Dolls which is a very, very successful production," said James McKeever, chair of the department of music. "He worked very, very hard at that. Training the pit orchestra and working with the the individual singers and the production for endless hours helping them and coaching them on their parts. He put forth an immense effort on that, and he loved doing that and he loved the music theater and musicals." McKeever continues, "He was a jazz pianist also. He did a l ot of playing with Tim Bell and with other musicians playing in various places and nightclubs and various occasions. "The last couple of years he's been accompanying Trish Schaefer, who's a very talented singer and actress. They just completed a very successful program the Cabaret," said McKeever. "He composed the accompaniment for all of that from scratch. He took the vocal melody and invented everything and did an expert job at that." "He was saying that he really was so happy with his life now," said Kornetsky. "This is in the context of the musicals that we do, that he really loved doing them (the musicals) that they were so satisfying to him. But also the cabaret work he was doing with Trish Schaefer was incredibly important to him and and the collaboration." Mckeever and others also have fond memories of Wegner's individuality. "We really liked and respected him a great deal," says McKeever. "He had an easy manner. He was a mild mannered gentle person always carefully pondering questions. He also had a very good sense of humor. He always had silly jokes in class and meetings. He was a friend, too. Someone whom I've known for eleven and a half years. He was a joy to be with and he always interested me. There's not one person that does all the things that he was involved with." "He had the piano suspenders that I always remember with his tux and he always made quite a dashing figure," said Kornetsky. "I guess he wore suspenders a lot of the time but I always remember Augie wearing sweatshirts from our shows. He used to always wear Guys and Dolls or Working. Shows that he worked on or even shows that he didn't work on. I can't think of one show since I've been here that Augie didn't come to, even if he wasn't involved." Kieth Harris, technical theater manager, remembers him as a v ery giving man. "The last thing I worked on with him," said Harris "was the Cabaret he and Trish Schaefer did in the studio. He was the always type of guy that made sure he made a point of telling you the next day that he really appreciated your help and your work and he never would take any of that for granted. He was he type of person that would send you a gift and he'd leave a note in your box, and catch you in the hall and say thanks for all the help." Susan Mclntyre, a senior at UWParkside, remembers August Wegner in class. "Just f or your information," he would say "just in case you're at a party and someone wants to know, the frequency of a dialtone is an A on the keyboard." "He'd chuckle and you'd think that was so funny and the whole class- -I mean everyone, loved him, even people that didn't know him." "And he was so modest. I would tease him and I'd say "Augie, what would we do without you? He'd say sor of music and chair of the the department agrees. "That's the most shocking part of it, that he apparently was in such excellent health. He went over to the Phy Ed building and swam every day. You'd always see him at meetings munching carrots and celery. It makes the rest of us think my goodness, I'm overweight and I don't eat as well as he did. Why him and not someone else?" Music students were invited to a discusion held in Comm. Arts D-118 Wednesday, Nov. 24 at noon were a counsellor was available. Members of the campus community shared memories of Wegner and were offered guidence as to how to deal with his death. According to the UW-Parkside Police Department, flags were at half mast in honor of Wegner McKeever remembers Wegner's accomplishments on campus. "He really helped students get through the music theory courses that otherwise might not have been able to really put forth the effort. In addition to the teaching Augie did a lot of playing. He was a very accomplished pianist. He not only accompanied faculty in recitals, regularly but he also accompanied students at times to help them out with their recitals." 'Oh, no no no.' But it's true. I don't know what we would do without him. He was the epitome of style and class. He had it together. He added so much to the theater. "He always had his hand over his nose like this to decide," she crosses one arm and rests the other on it holding her chin. "And everything, the smallest thing, ya know, it would be so important. Like, 'Augie, should I hand this in now or later?' 'Well it's not due...' Ya know, he just gave a lot of thought to everything. He was very concerned for his students." Heather Hall explains that "he was always available for the students. Not just that he'd stop in the halls and say 'hi' to you, it was like he took a personal interest in what you were doing, and he was one of the busiest faculty in the music department. But, if you stopped to talk to him, he would stop and help you if you had a problem with one of your assignments." Hall adds, "He was an accompanist for both my recitals. When I had continued on page 2 l RANGER NEWS - YOUR # 1 N £ WS SOURCE • STORY LE ADS CALL 595- 2 2 8 7 2 RANGER NEWS December 2, 1993 Section A US NEWS Students Remember, cont from pg 1 asked him the first time, I th ought he might not be able to because he was so busy, but he took it on anyway. It was the most reassuring thing because a recital is sometimes very scar)' if you don't have an accompanist that you could depend on," "He was really amazing in terms of what he did for our students who are not music majors," said Kornetsky. "He was musical director on a show and students wanted extra rehearsal time. He would schedule eight or nine extra tutorial sessions during his dinner break between teaching and then rehearsing for three and a half hours." "A lot of dramatic arts students who sing would audition and use music. He knew more about musical theater than the rest of us. So he would help them find pieces and he would rehearse with them and he would make tapes for them. These weren't students who were taking independent studies, these were just people who liked Augie and knew that Augie would help them. And he never turned a student away. He would always make time for students. And students who weren't even his students. He thought of all students as his students." "But," says Mclntyre, "if you ever saw his schedule! I w ent to him yesterday and I sa id Augie can we rehearse sometime? He opened up his calender and he was booked solid. He could squeeze me in for like 45 minutes and I t hought Augie, we don't have to do anything, 'no no no. I w ant you to do well.' And he was great. The fact that he's gone is quite a loss for not only the whole school and the music department but the drama department as well. He was a very important part of us." "It really makes you step back and think how you deal with other people, and all those sort of trite hallmark card things, but you really don't know what's going to happen," said Kornetsky. "Skelly Warren said at this meeting that 'it really reminds you to say the things you need to say to people around you to not leave things unsaid and to let people know that you care about them, and to be good to the people that you love and that you care about.' Because you don't know if y ou're going to see them again. Which this is wild I can't imagine that I'm not going to see him again." Tim Bell, associate professor of music and jazz instructor states "I don't know if I c an find words equal to the worth of that man that we just lost. Augie was a professional- so the students benefited. It didn't matter if it was on campus or of campus. 12:00 at night or 7:00 in the morning. He was there." "He was the consummate musician," added Bell. "But It wasn't because he was a prodigy. It was because he worked hard. That's why he was such a fabulous talent. He was always evolving and so people around him could evolve with him. "He had a lot of talent—a lot of it. And he had a interesting mind. He started learning how to swing ten years ago. He used to come to my jazz appreciation classes every Tuesday and Thursday. I d on't know how it all started but I sa id 'do you want to play a gig?' So we tried it. You have to start. "He did go doing what he loved. I was directing a tune and stopped the band maby once or twice, and I'm running back and forth, and so just before he collapsed I st opped the band. He was over at the piano tinkering with something. What he discovered essentially was a fault with the piano. A mechanism or something like that wasn't right. There he was, though, very active. The next thing that happened is that he collapsed. He was doing what he does. He was totally involved, emerged emotionally into his music. Expressing all the levels of emotion. There he was—next thing he's gone. I'll sure have a difficult time replacing him. You don't replace someone like that. Augie spoke through his Marianne Inman and Ronald N. Satz Address Parkside music." The Center for Educational and Cultural Advancement sponsored Marianne Inman and Ronald N. Satz who lectured during the November months. The audiences stated that they enjoyed the programs. Dr. Marianne Inman is the Vice President and Dean at Northland College of Ashland, Wisconsin. She presented Insights on the Middle East: Perspective on Iran. She portrayed the mysteries of the resource-rich and the culturally wealthy nation of Iran. Dr. Inman lived in Iran for two and a half years in the city of Tehran where she taught at the Tehran University. The culture of Iran is beautiful in imagery and its people. Ziggurats, the architectural style of ancient Persia is famous in the Mid-East. The Audience Hall of Xerxes at Persepolis was to impress visitors with the power of the ancient kings. Many of the buildings that were standing destroyed during the eight year war with Iraq. Professor Ronald N. Satz, Dean of Graduate Studies, UW-Eau Claire presented Native American Treaty Rights in Historical Perspective. Professor Satz was the recipient of the 1992 Award for Merit for Distinguished Service to History from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The presentation dealt with the historical side of the treaty rights of the North Wisconsin Native Americans. In the early 1900's the Native American children were isolated from tribal traditions and forced to learn the English language and adopt white patterns of living. The Native Americans had their land taken and were left the most undesirable part swamp land and cutover timberlands. The Native Americans are trying to make a come back to ancestral life but can go only as far as the federal government will allow. The people of both nations are in reality very peaceful and resourceful they are not the "warmongers" they have been labeled as.

B Ranger • Student Activites B Student Life • s.o.c. • Union • Volunteer Program SUFAC: Ending the Confusion by Tracy Sorrentino This is the first in a series of articles focusing on The Parkside Student Government Association, its related committees, functions, and responsibilities. The Segregated University Fee Allocation Commitee (SUFAC) is the committee designated to disperse the 1.2 million dollars in student fees collected each academic year. The committee is comprised of 8 members, including two students- at-large. The committee is chaired by PSGA senator Vince Borner. Senators Teri Jacobsen, Jime Nicholson, Pedro Harvey, and Kevin Williams, plus students-atlarge Yolanda Jackson and Marcus Lewis comprise the rest of the committee. Members of SUFAC are selected within PSGA and the students-atlarge are elected in the regular elections. According to Jacobsen, when no one runs for the position of SUFAC student-at-large, the winner of the election receives very few votes. She said,"That's sad... that no one thinks it's important enough. This is over a million dollars of students' money we're talking about." . In compliance with the guidelines in the Financial Policy and Procedure Paper (FPPP) a nd the General Administrative Policy Paper (GAPP)#15, the SUFAC committee holds hearings each year and designates the amount of money that will be given to each major status organization. Certain expenditures are allocatable, for example Student Program Operations which include student publications, S.O.C.and P.A.B., while others are not, such as the minimum health care module, building maintenance, and the retirement of debt service. The amounts for these non-allocatable expenditures are not likely to change unless systemwide reforms are instituted or, as in the case of debt retirement, the debt is paid for. The Parkside student body spends approxiamately 5118,000 for debt retirement on the Student Union building and will continue to do so until the debt is retired. During the course of the next few years, SUFAC will be undergoing review and revision in order to streamline its operations. Currently, when it is discovered that an organization has used its funds improperly, the only route SUFAC can take is to place the organization on three year notice. The organization then has three years to make the necessary changes or face drastic cuts in funding or the cessation of funding. The current SUFAC committee is slightly behind schedule this year due to the second PSGA election. The hearings are tentatively scheduled for early February. Significant to note is with the current plan for the Physical Education building addition, the segregated fees collected each semester may increase by as much as 520 per student. Important Financial Aid Changes Announced by Alan R. Cook Assistant News Editor Jan K. Ocker, Director of Financial Aid, in a November 22 interview, announced important changes in the financial aid process that should benefit students in several important ways. Students should keep their eyes open for two separate mailings from his office that will arrive at their homes early in December, he says. The first mailing will announce that additional financial aid is available to current financial aid recipients whose property (or family's property) was damaged by the 1993 floods. Current financial aid recipients who have completed the Federal FAFSA form may be entitled to additional monies because $10,000 in Perkins Loans funds and $10,000 in SEOG Grant funds, received through the 1993 Federal Assistance to Midwest Flood Victims Act. These monies are available to residents of Racine, Kenosha and Milwaukee counties. Potentially eligible students are encouraged to contact the Financial Aid Office as soon as possible, Ocker stresses. The second letter will announce important changes in the 1994- 1995 Renewal Application for Federal Financial Aid. Instead of picking up their renewal forms at the Financial Aid Office, as has been done in the past, students will receive their Renewal Application through the mails, directly from the Federal Government. The new Renewal Form will be much easier to fill out and process, with much of the necessary data pre-printed. Students will be asked to update between 20 to 30 questions, as opposed to the 113 questions required on the old form. Students are reminded that these Renewal Forms cannot be filed until January 1, 1994. They should be based on the students' 1993 tax return. The priority date for filing is April 1, 1994. Included in the Renewal Package will be the Parkside Information Form which should be returned to the Financial Aid Office by April 1. The remainder of the forms will be returned directly to the Federal Office indicated. Ocker reminds students to list "University of Wisconsin- Parkside" on all forms. If students have changed their address in the past year or do not receive the Federal Form for some other reason, they are not to worry, Ocker states. The Standard Application for Federal Financial Aid will be available in the Financial Aid Office after Jan. 1. "The information included in these two mailings is very important," Ocker concludes. "This is important news that should benefit many of our students in important ways."

ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK UPDATE Libby Wheary Feature Writer On Sunday November 14, the Parkside Environmental Network cleaned up litter along Outer Loop Road. We worked for two and one half hours and collected fourteen bags of trash, four bags of recyclable material, two tires and $25.15...proof that it really does pay to take care of our earth! The most common items collected were flyers promoting a social activity in Racine. These flyers had been placed on the vehicles parked in the Union lot. The University does not allow flyer distribution in the parking lots. When students find these flyers on their vehicles, please dispose of them properly. This unauthorized advertising could also be reported to Student Activities. Although we were successful in our endeavors to clean-up the campus, there is much more out there than what meets the eye. As the day wore on, we discovered that this was to be more than just a one day project and a task much larger than five people could handle. But the fact remains that we did make a difference and this is only the begining. Please do vour part in keeping our campus clean! Thank You to the members who participated in the "clean-up": julie Streiff, Vickie McGruder, Michelle Cortez and Roger Field. P.E.N, meetings held every Wednesday at noon in Greenquist D-103.

The UW-Parkside Teaching Center was established to serve as a central place for the support and development of teaching as an individual and community enterprise. The purpose of The Teaching Center is to meet the needs of faculty and instru ctional staff who want to become b etter teachers or engage in dialogue with other people about leaching. It is a place where instruclors can sit down and discuss what happens in t he classroom. "Since classrooms are generally such a private pla ce and many professors never see each other teach," Lisa Kornetsky, Teaching Center Director said, "the Teaching Center provides a chance for instructors to talk about education tactics and become better teachers." The Center was started by El an a Rocco and has received a lot of support from the Administration. Under the auspices of the Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Studies, it acts in c ollaboration with the Committee on Teaching, whose purpose is to stimulate and support teaching excellence. The Center provides presentations and discussions that encourage the analysis and infusion of n ew ideas about classroom instr uction, the role of education at UW-Parkside, and methods of evaluating teaching. An important segment of the Teaching Center is the Monday Noon, Brown Bag Lunch Series. Some of the topics covered this semester during the series include ways to structure and work with groups in the classroom, teaching for diversity, and student's first amendment rights in the classroom where they discussed how to handle situations when students are very vocal about certain issues that may have come up in discussion or lecture. The Teaching Center supports the activities of individuals and departments determining methods of assessing student learning and improving teaching. The Center does not evaluate teaching for personnel purposes, but does provide information and support services- such as mentoring programs for new faculty and staff and training sessions for peer evaluators- for individuals and departments who are engaged in evaluation. The Teaching Center is home to the Teaching for Diversity Project and supports the development of teaching-related projects and grants. Kornetsky believes that "if people really start to take advantage of it, the Teaching Center could become a very powerful resource on this campus and a real center of intellectual activity for faculty and staff and therefore students." HOME AWAY FROM HOME by Vanessa Woods Oscar Toscano is a Residence hall assi stant at Parkside. "You lend to become more responsible, you tend to become independent." Residence hall coordinators go through a rigid selection process along with having to be organized, understanding, responsible, creative, and have a friendly disposition. All R.A.'s are CPR certified. Responsibilities of R.A.'s consist of night duty(Sunday through Saturday), making rounds by checking for safety hazzards and making sure everyone is observing their twenty-four hour courtesy hours and programming for residents. However, there are some benefits being an R.A., such as free r°om, board and a free meal plan. There are eight R.A.'s and two enior R.A.'s.

This year's programming has included events such as going to the dog tracks, haunted house trip, ghost story telling hour, rape awareness, alcohol awareness and some sporting events. Menchie Santos, an R.A. majoring in business with a concentration in accounting said, "The residence hall gives students an opportunity to feel more like a part of the university, it provides them with the convenience of being right at the school's doorstep, you know, they have the opportunity of using the facilities that are right there. Just living at the residence hall is just a good experience, it's a home away from home." Now that you know what an R.A. is and does, for those interested, come join the fun and see what the Parkside residence halls are all about. Is That All They Do Is Give Out Parking Tickets? Claire Schoor Feature Story "We are here to protect not only the universities property, but the people on the campus," says Thomas J. Knitter, the Interim/Director of the University Police and Public Safety Department. While interviewing Knitter on what the Parkside University Police is all about, I came to realize that we, as students, are not aware of what services that are provided for us. That is, our own police force. One that protects us and provides the specialized functions that are unique to our environment here at Parkside. Referring to university police as a full authority police agency, just as any city or village police department, Parkside's officers are sworn law enforcement officers. The department currently has 14 sworn police officers which includes both full time and part time positions. The police staff is supported by non-sworn community service officers( CSO), who are UW-Parkside students. The CSO's, as they are referred to, perform dispatch, clerical duties, and assist with crowd and traffic control at special events. Knitter commented, "that in the past, several CSO's have gone on to become part time police officers." With the university police serving our campus 24 hours a day, a variety of areas fall into their responsibility. Basic police func- Thomas Knitter tions include: investigation of crimes, traffic accidents, enforcement of traffic laws both on campus and the roads adjacent to the campus(Wood Road, Hwy. 31, County E, A, and J), the enforcement of both state and UWS Chapter 18, and last but not least, the enforcement of parking regulations. The department provides a number of services including: motorist assists, key assists, escorts, and calls for general assistance to the campus community. The department receives approximately aOOO calls a year. A majority of these are calls for service. The department operates its own dispatch/ communication center, and the emergency line(2911) is staffed 24 hours a day by either our own dispatcher or a dispatcher from the Kenosha Sheriffs Department. To some, it may seem that the university police is just a security department, and that may have been true some years ago. However, today we must realize that this department is a professional police agency, although very specialized because of its environment. They have full authority to take any necessary action to protect the campus community. They have full communication with other agencies, such as the Kenosha Sheriff and Police departments. They have their own radio frequencies, emergency telephone lines, and 24 hour services that all form together to to help students, faculty, and visitors here on campus. Plenty of time and effort goes into our campus police force to create a better surrounding for all. So next time we, as students, think they are just here to give us parking tickets, and shut the doors on dorm parties, THINK AGAIN! They do it to provide a safer environment for all of us.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, is the virus that causes AIDS. The virus damages the body's immune system, leaving it defenseless against infections and some cancers. HIV is primarily spread through unprotected sexual activity, by sharing injection drug needles, and from an infected mother to child during pregnancy. "More than 20,000 men, women, and children in Wisconsin are HIV positive and by the end of the decade it is projected that as many as 40,000 people in Wisconsin will be infected," Kennedy said. "Between 3500 and 5000 deaths will have occurred." The AIDS Resource Center of Wisconsin, Inc., through its four sen-ice agencies, is committed to providing comprehensive case management and support services to people who are living with AIDS and HIV disease; making available innovative and aggressive HIV prevention programming; ensuring access to experimental drug therapies; and engaging in HIV advocacy- Currently, more than 900 men, women and children with HIV disease from the Southeast and Northwest regions of Wisconsin utilize the agency's case management and support services.

SANGER- S pWS « Y OUR # 1 NEWS SOURCE • S TORY L EAD S CAl l 6 RANGER NEWS December 2, 1993 Section C Diversity, Something to Think About by Rochelle Boyd Who instructs "Communication of Human Condition?" What material taught within this course qualifies it to fulfill the diversity requirement? These and other questions could have been asked at the Panel of Instructors who teach Ethnic Courses. On Monday, November 22, 1993 at 12 noon, there were approximately 20 instructors, who took time out of their busy schedules, to meet with students and answer questions about the ethnic courses they offer. Unfortunately, no students showed up. This is a growing concern of mine. Diversity is definitely an important issue today. Diversity, diversity, diversity! Universities are constantly revising and adding to their "Designs for Diversity." EVERYONE has to take a diversity course to graduate whether they like it or not. This panel would have been the perfect opportunity to find out what the course offers, who instructs it, or which course could benefit them the most. This was just a tiny step to increase awareness. It was disappointing to see so many instructors show up with syllabi, notes on the course, and open arms to students with questions and concerns, and yet, no one showed up. This raises questions in my mind. Is diversity a high concern of students here on campus? Do students care if the courses they take benefit them? Or do students just take the diversity course that looks the easiest for them? The University is making an effort to increase diversity through the system's Design for Diversity".. Yes, diversity should be automatic and you should not have to create a program to implement this, but no system is perfect. Since diversity does not come with such ease, the students also need to make a sincere effort to increase diversity through many ways: individual or group activities, involvement, adventagous learning, or whatever appeases you. This, of course, will not solve the problem of the lack in interest in diversity, but it is a start! WILDER, WILDER, WILDER AT PARKSIDE by April Proska Thornton WildePs The Pullman Car Hiawatha, The Long Christmas Dinner, and The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden will be performed in Studio B in the Communication of Arts on December 3, 4, 10, and 11 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on December 9 at 10:00 a.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door for $7 for the general public and $6 for senior citizens and students. Wilder, Wilder, Wilder is being directed by Leon J. Van Dyke, who is the professor of dramatic arts at U.W.-Parkside; and Susan Mclntyre, who is a senior dramatic arts student. The cast consists of sixteen members, including Beth Brouillette, Chris Harder, Brian Gleiter, Timothy McGrady, Maxwell Mount, Virginia Hartley, J. And rew Lowe, Tina Paukstelis, Erica Sanchez, Kathy Honigmann, Bristol and Steve Bosco. The Production team members include : Deborah Cutler, stage manager; Liza Handziak, assistant stage manager; Mike Gename, scene design; Heath Denikas, lighting director. The costume designers are Lizz Otto, Margaret Adamson, and Kimberly Instenes. Thornton Wilder was born in - Madison on April 17, 1897, and died on December 7, 1975. Wilder7s plays have been described as "fluctuating between fantasy and philosophy, skepticism and mysticism, playfulness and society." Wilder's plays may have taken place in the 19?0's, but seem "modern, warn, and winsome." The Pullma i Car Hiawatha is the story of a group of people traveling on the samr train car on December 21,1930 from New York to Chicago. Their lives intercede for only that period of time during the train ride. The second play, The Long Christmas Dinner is a story detailing the annual dinners being held around one table (belonging to one family) in an accelerated motion of period of ninety Christmases. The Happy Journey To Trenton And Carmen shows us a story of a family traveling by car to visit their married daughter. It is a simple story that is sure to remind many about their own family car trip experiences. For more information or to reserve tickets, call 595-2564.

Taken from the Point of View Radio Talk Show on the USA Radio Network; World, 10/9/93—"On September 19, at the Sunday evening service of the Hamilton Square Baptist Church in San Franciso, a mob of 75 to 100 homosexual rioters intruded onto the church grounds, blockaded some churchgoers from entering or exiting, and vandalized the grounds. Police did nothing to protect church members. No arrests were made and no coverage was given by either of the city's two major newspapers. Rev. Lou Shelton of the Tranditional Values Coalition was speaking at the service. He frequently speaks out against the homosexual agenda. The homosexual activists pelted church-goers with rocks and eggs, tore down one of the church's flags and replaced it with a gay rights flag, tore up trees, broke a door, physically removed and destroyed cement benches, blocked all traffic at a major intersection, harassed those inside with a megaphone, and terrorized elderly worshippers into tears. They ended the night by chanting, 'We want your children. Give us your child!' Officers from the San Franciso Police Department's northern district responded to the disturbance. When asked why no arrests were made, one officer told World magazine, on the condition that he would not be identified, 'That would not be a politically correct move—pure and simple.'" I ask you, "What is this world coming to?" A Concern Christian - Brian Matsen Dear Editor, I don't have any friends who feel work is more important than college. In the October 21 issue, the authors of "Should Upstate Special Interests Dictate Wisconsin School Policies?" discussed the W.S.A.B. 217 bill sponsored by Wisconsin tourism businesses. This bill proposes that classes cannot begin until after Labor Day. The tourism industry should not dictate how college semesters should be scheduled. First, colleges should determine when school starts independent of special interest groups. Colleges are not concerned with meeting the scheduling needs of businesses. If colleges conceded to dodge every scheduling conflict that businesses have, colleges would never be able to find a sufficient semester schedule. Second, the tourism industry doesn't account for other industries. If the bill passes, school would start later, but students would have to return to college on January 3 for exams. With students returning to classes almost two weeks earlier, businesses could be hurt if they rely on winter help. Ski slopes may be affected if they hire college help over the busy Christmas break. Many retail stores also hire college help during the holiday season to help with the crowds. Third, the tourism businesses have forgotten about students' interests. Most students use Christmas vacation to unwind after taking exams. With the bill passed, the "vacation" would be used to study. Because of this, there wouldn't be a break between semesters. With these points combined, the bill should not be legislated. It does not deal with the whole picture since it concentrates only with the tourism industry. It would work if only colleges and summerbased tourism businesses existed. Sincerely, Melinda L. Vasatko Dear Editor, I applaud the administration in making UW-Parkside a non-smoking campus. However, much to my dismay, a common picture at any UW-Parkside entrance is a collection of cigarette butts sprawled across the ground. Smokers should realize there are items called ashtrays and garbage cans located outside these entrances around the campus. I would appreciate if smokers would dispose of their cigarette butts in the proper fashion. I am sure smokers would agree if they saw a pile of soda cans and candy wrappers at every entrance, they would wonder why there is so much garbage laying around. That's how I feel when I see hundreds of cigarette butts lining the cracks of the sidewalks. Recently when I went for advising, I noticed a definite smell of cigarette smoke by faculty offices. Maybe the UW-P faculty and staff wasn't properly informed of the new non-smoking policy. I would hate to believe that any UW-P faculty member would knowingly defy the rules governed by a non-smoking campus.

When I was called to active duty in 1969,1 went in spite of a draft number of 265 and a divinity school C.O. status. I had cut my political teeth in '67 marching with Father Groppi up in Milwaukee, in 68 at the Democratic Convention and during " The Days of Rage " in m I counted among my friends, jerry Rubin, author of Steal This look, who personally handed me my Youth International Peace Party YIPPIE).

Tom Haydn (this was pre Hanoi's Jane Fonda), Bobby Seales, the man in chains, Jeff Fort, leader of the Peace Stone Nation, and Rene6 Davis, the most quiet 'revolutionary' I've ever met. By early 1970, when Nixon and the National Guard murdered four at Kent State, I was actively entrenched in the war to remove Nixon from office and end that 'Cod forsaken' war. In retrospect, he finally did keep his campaign promise, but thousand of American lives too late. Of course it was getting too late for me as well. 1970 saw my arrest and charge of conspiracy, a 20 year MINIMUM sentence. My attorney, bless his soul, ingratiated my parents with a five' minute tirade, on the steps of the courthouse, stating that if they expected justice, the joint needed to be wired for explosives and wiped from the "face of the earth". Fortunately, Julius Hoffman, Judge for the Conspiracy trials, had already thoroughly embarrassed the judiciary to the point that my charges were promptly dismissed, and in my own defense I had never committed or plotted any act of violence. But the damage was done, and I had retired my six-shooter, all Bics at the time, and fell into a great depression that very nearly ended all my goals. My wounds did not heal well or easily, and were never put into perspective for me until my brother from his second tour attached to the Strategic Air Command that flew regular sorties out of Thailand. I think we may have actually helped heal each other. The only reality that still intrudes is his insistence on including my name in his regular higher 'clearance' checks. Thafs right, he uses me, same as all of us used him (kind of ironic, isn't it?) Thanks Paul. OBSERVATIONS Putting Things in Perspective by C. J.

My next thought was of how much comfort I derive from a personal religious commitment. I find God to be a friend, he understands the complexity of daily existence. He helps and does not look to give humans a hard time for no reason. All of this helps me put my existence in perspective. Politics, although fun, and important issues to the nation, althought interesting, pale when wondering if my numbers are short. Like I said, I was lucky. Nothing major happened, but it could have very easily. I have met several people who have had the "good fortune" to look at their mortality. Two of them are on the Ranger staff—Joe Kane and Gabe Kluka. Both of them are easy going, a pleasure to talk and discuss things with. Joe stated to me, that "'I'm happy to be here' is not just an empty phrase for me any more." My sentiments exactly. It is not my intention to be melodramatic or to troll for sympathy. It is my intention to urge all who read this to step back take a look at their lives, and count their blessings. At least my observation is "difficult as life is, it could be worse." by Gabe Kluka Some careful reflection on mv recent behavior has lead me to a frightening conclusion: I am a cheesehead. God that's painful. For years I have denied it, but I realize now that if I try to cut my wrists, Cheez Whiz will come out. Unfortunately, the sudden realization that I am cheesehead, has caused me to embrace my dairy nature and revel in it. For example, hke all other cheeseheads, I have become a rabid Packer fan. Andrew Patch, ex-king of the Ranger News and Packer fan, and I went to the Green Bay-Detroit game two weeks ago. We purchased tickets from a scalper, and had a fine time cheering the Packers on, and of course they won. Now, going to the game isn't really proof that I am a rabid Packer fan. However, I have elevated Reggie White, Brett Favre, and Sterling Sharpe to god status, and I am currently in the process of repainting everything I own Packer colors. My first born male child will be named Curly Lambeau Lombardi Kluka, and my first female child will be named Maxine McGee Kluka, and my fiance, Laura, will skin me if I continue to think this way. For those of you concerned with your own cheeseheadidness, I have developed some questions that you can ask yourself, to check if you have entered the realm of the dairy fairies, and are wallowing in Swiss.

Chances are you'll drink a few beers and watch the Packers if they are having a winning season. 0-24 If you were cheese you'd be American. (A generally agreeable kind of cheese, but generic, for everyone has a little cheesehead in them.) You're probably a closet Bears fan, and do not own a gun. Blaze orange is not in your vocabulary.

Zurad Wandering Spirit Insiders: Not for Sale Two questions. First, why haven't the Insiders gotten a deal with a major label yet? These boys are by far Chicago's best unsigned act. A sort of an early Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers meets Jackson Browne, or a BoDeans with far better songwriting capabilities (but with less vocal abilities than the BoDeans, of course), this band could sell a lot of records if only it could get some national attention. Second, could it be possible that perhaps the Insiders don't want to be bossed around by a big label? Is that the meaning behind the title Not for Sale, or is it simply because this CD, on the independent Monsterdisc label, is somewhat hard to find? While there may be no ready answers for those questions, there is certainly no question as to if this fine live band can carry themselves respectably in the studio. Not for Sale opens with a studio track that features a drum machine and back- WE'LL ERASE YOUR COLLEGE LOAN. ing vocals by fellow local hero Nicholas Tremulis, making "Never Seen Enough" rather hard to duplicate on stage. The rest of the album is less complex and is taken more directly from their live performances, but the mixing of two electric guitars with a distinct rhythm acoustic guitar shining through by band member Jay O'Rourke is superb. Three live tracks, recorded at Fitzgerald's in Chicago, are thrown at the end of the CD for good measure. Those familiar with the Insiders will be pleased to know that the WXRT-FM hit "Shake Down" is included on this disc. Those not hip to this band are in for a real treat. The music is accessible enough to enjoy right away, but doesn't wear thin shortly thereafter. The vocal style is a lot like that of Jackson Browne or Drivin' N' Cryin'. Vocalists John Siegle and Gary Yerkins don't sing on the emotional level of Eddie Vedder or Peter Gabriel, but the band shows its emotion through the music itself. Lyrically, the band covers the standard rock song topics with an ~ e'ement °f wisdom on "Can't Look Back" ("Ain't gonna say what you could've done better./Ain't gonna tell you what you should've done right/Cause if there's one thing we don't need/it's somebody else's hindsight.") and an element of wit and desperation on "Come Back to Me" ("Come back to me./Use my closet.

Speaking of live shows, Jackson Browne spun through our area recently, this time playing a two hour set to small, intimate clubs. The breakup with Daryl Hannah hit Jackson hard, as the entire set consisted of his most personal selections, much like Peter Gabriel's theatrical Secret World performance. Although he never ventured closer than ten feet from the edge of the stage, Browne transcended that boundary with the audience Monday night better than any performer in recent memory. He introduced one of his songs by explaining where and how he wrote it, then had to start the song over twice because, as he said, he was thinking more about the initial inspiration than the third line of the song. Midway through a song about a roadie stealing his girl, he politely told the audience not to clap along, "this is a sad song!" This was a performer expressing himself openly through his music. The audience was responding to it and the performer was feeding from that response. The Vic's small size nurtured this audienceperformer relationship. When Jackson Browne returns again early next year, he will no doubt be playing to larger venues and the emotions will be numbed somewhat. All the more reason why November 15th's show was so special. Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles This collection of the more twangy selections by this legendary band performed by the hottest hillbillies on the country scene today was put together by Don Henley to raise money for his Walden Woods conservation project. This would be a perfect gift for the pop/rock crowd who got alienated somewhere and flocked to the likes of Alan Jackson. These versions don't deviate from the originals, so why not go to the source and pick up The Eagles' Greatest Hits Vol. Z? Henley has a better voice than anyone featured on this disc.

Morgan of the smack business," is not the most pious of men. Because the persistence of his lawyer David Kleinfeld, he is released from prison on a technicality after having served five years of a thirty year sentence. Now that he's a free man, he wants to give up the drug business and go straight, and earn some honest cash hoping that later he can escape the influence of his past. He takes a job running a disco, partially owned by his "most trusted" lawyer friend Kleinfeld, and later is happily reunited with his dancer girlfriend, Gail. Dismayed by how much the streets have changed after spending five years behind bars, he also discovers that the people he once trusted have turned against him. He finds that his reputation has become an obstacle in the path of his pursuit, and he is a prisoner of his past. This is a story of his struggle to survive in the merciless urban underworld, where "the streets are always watching." Carlito's Way's thrilling screenplay, written by David Koepp, is based on two novels by New York State Supreme Court justice Edwin Torres. The story takes place in the 1970's, and several biographical aspects, taken from cases that _rorres has tried, develop the background of the plot. The film was directed by Brian De Palma, and is the second time he has worked with Pacino since the 1983 film Scarface. Though this film is no Scarface, it is a definite improvement over his latest directorial dud, the psychological thriller Raising Cain (1992). The Puerto Rican Carlito Brigante is played by academy award winner Al Pacino, who is one of the most prominent and talented figures in the film world. Carlito is a typical Pacino role, and although he gives his usual stunning and powerful performance, he has difficulty maintaining Carlito's Puerto Rican accent. In fact, at times his Frank Slade character, the blind ex-Army colonel in Scent of a Woman, surfaces, and it's as if at any moment you expect to hear him bellow a boisterous "HOOWAH!!" Sean Penn is great as the weasel lawyer, David Kleinfeld. He is at first almost unrecognizable in his nerdy get-up, sporting the seventies sideburns complete with thinning curly red locks, wearing those Lennon spectacles. He is fun to watch, but we begin to realize that his nerdy facade masks his true, selfish intentions. Penelope Ann Miller is the sweet girlfriend, Gail, who at night works as a stripper and still manages to appear innocent. Even though this film is two hours and twenty-one minutes, too long, and although the beginning betrays the ending, it does deserve honorable mention. It contains an interesting story line with several quotable lines, and a sensational ten minute chase scene that takes place inside Grand Central Station.

The Livin by Jeffrey Weniger Entertainment Editor Lies of Silence by Katie Klingsporn In his book Lies of Silence, Brian Moore chronicles the events that have changed the way the public looks at the world. He introduces the individuals responsible for those events. He begins with introducing the main character, Michael Dillon, a hotel manager in Northern Ireland. One night Dillon and his wife, Moria, are held hostage by the Irish Republican Army, who go after anyone that is not a member of the IRA. The IRA made Dillon drive his car into the hotel parking lot. They told him then to leave his car because there was a bomb in it. At the right moment the car exploded Before most students can join in The Parking Game held daily here at Par kside, they must first get down here. I dr ive exactly 14.1 miles to get to this lovely institution. I do this three times a week, and on some weeks I dri ve the wonderful route down here up to five or six times. So naturally, I spend a great deal of time in my wonderful "mirth-mobile." (Sorry, Wayne. Sorry, Garth.) Most people drive in their cars and p ay no attention to the people in other cars. We only pay attention to the car when they cut us off, hit u s, or attempt to run us off the road. The thing that I h ate most is t he people whole decide to take up two lanes in the highway. Pick a lane please! We very seldom pay attention to the drivers. and the media all over the world wanted to hear the story from Dillon and his wife. In my opinion, this book was good because it was dramatic and suspenseful . It ga ve an idea of what life is like in Northern Ireland and showed what it is like to live in fear and danger. This book also showed that prejudice still very much exists today, not just between race but also religion. The bombing in the book is a reminder of the World Trade Center bombing and the numerous terrorist attacks around the world and reinforce the fact that people are more worried for their lives and safety. Second Nature by Moss I nigra m by Joseph Kane Managing Editor mate, unlike many recent rock reunions, i.e., the now embarrassingly bad Crosby, Stills, & Nash, who used to be good, and Foreigner, who never were. The reformed Velvets stick true to their original sound without encasing their songs in amber. At turns dark and foreboding—or joyful with a twisted edge—the songs are performed with spontaneity— they're alive. The lighting is properly eerie and the camera work is terrific. Velvet Redux is a blissful dip into some legitimate rock & roll history come to life. Don't miss it. Cliffhanger (all v ideos are rated on a scale from 1 through 10) Run—do not walk—away from this film at top speed. The first five minutes notwithstanding, Cliffhanger is just horrible. Starring Sylvester Stallone as a mountain climber plagued by guilt—the troubled, misunderstood hero he ain't. Stallone also co-scripted the screenplay and so the talents of one of today's brightest actresses, Janine Turner of TV's Northern Exposure, are just wasted. For example, she is required to say, "Believe me—there were times when I d idn't know what I w anted to do more—hate you or love you—but the one thing I d id know, and still know, is I u nderstand you." Ugh! And normally, I a m far from the first one to complain about swearing in films (see the Glengarry Glen Ross review), but the bad guys in this film are continually cursing. I wouldn't mind, except they do it so badly. John Lithgow is a terrific actor with some wonderful roles under his belt, but as the "mastermind" criminal in Cliffhanger, he is laughable. The so-called plot is even more ludicrous. Steer clear of this one. Velvets Redux MCMXCIII (or, "The Velvet Underground Live in Concert, 1993") I n spi t e o f h is mot h e r ' s warni ngs, J immy s t uc k hi s bi g t oe down th e dra i n Aladdin Disney Studio's latest video offering is a delightful treat for the whole family—even college students like this one and, clocking in at just 90 minutes, it gives you something to with the family after holiday dinners. Aladdin taps the classic paradigm of True Love winning out over the seemingly insurmountable differences of social class. The flick is replete with some absolutely sinister evil and some inspired comic relief—literally. Robin Williams does Robin Williams playing the genie of the lamp and comedian Gilbert Gottfried chimes in with a minor yet lively part as lago the parrot. There's extremely wild animation and some snappy tunes but it's Williams who steals the show, "Why don't you just ruminate— while I illuminate—the possibilities." ' .III Tarn.

Leading the way for the Harriers was Senior Kirt Miller, finishing 66th with a time of 26:23. Miller was followed by the tight pack of freshman Andy Sarnow (128th place in 27:12), freshmann Todd Sanders (131 st place in 27:13), and sophomore Kevin Mason (132nd place in 27:14). Senior Tom Schmierer completed the 610 point score with a finish of 153rd place in 27:33. The competition within the meet was much tougher than that of previous years, as the Rangers decent showing was blemished by the 24th place finish. "After the race, we all thought that we had finished in the top 15, but the competition was too tough; the strongest it has been since 1986," said Miller. Miller went on to say that the Ranger squad was fairly happy with their performance, but they were disappointed with the overall placement in the meet. After a couple weeks of rest, the Rangers will begin preperation for the 1994 indoor track season. The highlights of the National Meet centered around James Bungei and his Texas Lubbock Christian Chapparrals. Bungei established a new record by winning the meet for the fourth consecutive year, as well as setting a new NAIA record time of 23:37. The Chapparrals set a new team record by winning the National Title for the fourth consecutive year, topping the rest of the field with a score of 24 points. The victory at the National Meet capped off a perfect season record for the Chapparrals, one of the victories coming against the NCAA Division I powerhouse Arkansas Razorbacks. The Razorbacks had not lost at home since 1970, and their loss was their first team loss since 1989. FINAL IM BASKETBALL SCORING LEADERS Eastern division In Case You Missed It by C. J. N elson If i t is late November, we must have a losing record, Not! Normally if you are a Wisconsin football fan and looks at the calender and see's November 29. You can be assured of two things. First that the Badgers will be home for the Holidays and second that the Packers will be not be playing in January. The script has been changed somewhat this year. Since last we talked the Badgers trashed the lllini 35- 10 and then took off to that mecca of football, Tokyo, Japan. If t he Badgers beat Michigan State on Saturday night then you can next see them in Pasadena on 1 January. All is right with the world: there is snow on the ground and the Packers are in First Place (thank you Joe Kane): The Packer's have won six of their last seven games to earn a tie for the NFC Central division lead. Their late victories over Detroit 26-17 and Tampa Bay 13- 10 set up a show down with those annoying Chicago Bears in Chicago next Sunday. The Bears are just one game behind the Lions and Packers. The Bears accomplished this by going into Detroit and winning on Thanksgiving day 10-6. Upset of the Year: Boston College was destroyed in 1992 by Notre Dame. A person once said "don't get mad, get even" Lou Holtz should remember that. Boston went to Indiana and left 41 - 38. Can you Notre Dame fans say wait till next Year? Let's go Bowling: The supposed National Championship game will be played in the Orange Bowl with unbeaten Nebraska facing Florida State. The Big Ten will send seven of it's teams to bowl games this year (Rose, Citrus, Hall of Fame, Alamo, Independence, Holiday and Liberty) not a bad showing from the Midwest Unlucky 13: In week 13 of the NFL season the Dallas Cowboys learned that sometimes it does not pay to recover a lose football. If you do not believe me ask Leon Lett. Miami 17 Dallas 16. Other notable feats in week 13. The Cincinnati Bengals got into the left column be beating the Raiders 16- 10. The San Francisco 49ers visit ed Los Angeles to the tune of 35. 10. The Steelers continue to look terrible against good teams, Oilers 23 Pittsburgh 3. Joe Montana returned to the Chief's line up and Jim Kelly left Buffalo's. KC 23 Bills Foul shots: The Seattle Supersonics have finally lost a game and are 10-1. The Houston Rockets are still lighting up the skys at 13-0. The Bulls are walking wounded at a 5-7 mark. The Bucks and Dallas are fighting for last in the NBA. Milwaukee is 2-10, the Mavericks are 1- 1 1 . And the Winner is: The NFL will decide on Tuesday who will get the next franchise. St. Louis and Baltimore are in contention. At certain other NFL cities or wanabees the Moving Vans are getting ready and the the Lawyers are licking their chops in anticipation of fees from lawsuits to come.

The annual controversy that surrounds college football has surfaced once again. Although it happens virtually fvery year, the current football ^Hs (which are used to determine ihe National Champion), continje to be used in place of a playoff system. f Every year in mid-October and early November the media begins t0 assemble the "Big Bowl picture," based on their opinions and the teams respective rankings in the polls. It's very rare for them to come to some sort of an agreement on who the nation's best teams are. Keeping this in mind, if people who study college football teams for a living can't agree who's the best, how are college coaches supposed to. I've listened to coaches on the radio discussing how th ey determine their own rankings, and their comments were but we could not get the ball in the basket for the tying score until the end." This is only the second year that the Rangers are competing at the NCAA Division II le vel. Coach Miller stated, " We could easily be 2-0, but we seem to have a small stretch of self destruction and cannot get it back." Parkside had valiant efforts by senior Sandy Hack (1 7 p oints, 5 rebounds), and junior Maci Pernsteiner (16 points, 12 rebounds). Assistant coach Steve Grochowski added, " Maci is coming into her own. She has great strength and determination. She is also developing an outside jumpshot." The Rangers (0-2) play in Michigan this weekend, and eventually return home November 30 to face Stevens Point. would just open the paper, read the box score see who won, and base their deci-' sion solely on that.

These Rusty Rangers Reign as Intramural Champs K..e.v..i.n. WWilliams ParUiHo ni Sports Editor Parkside players Starlin Stevens an. Tim Roberson and also picked up Marty Frymire, which gave the team speed, height and depth. Team captain Oscar Toscano com mented," This team was quicker, more talented, and stronger than last semesters team, I'm looking forward to a "Three Peat"." If th e Rusty Rangers are going to "Three Peat", they will likely have to face a fired up Don't Matter team, which lost to the Rangers in this years final, this team is an equally talented, and defeated Rusty Rangers in a regular season meeting. The difference in this years championship game proved to be Starlin Stevens, and Tim Roberson, the two former Parkside players. Stevens with his quickness and court vision, whizzed up and down the court almost tirelessly, and made for a lot of open layups for his teammates. Roberson on the other hand pounded the boards on the inside and let loose a deadly outside shot to rack up 22 points. Along with Marty Frymire is 12 points, this deadly three some accounted for 47 of the teams 64 points. The game was close for most of the first half, with a half time score of 33-26, with the Rusty Rangers ahead. In t he second half Tim Roberson exploded with 13 half points and the Rangers lead by as much as 15 points. Don't Matter made a try at a comeback, but fell short. Willie Peavy and Milton Taylor lead Don't Matter with 14 and 13 points respectively. The game's final score was Rusty Rangers 64. Don't Matter 52. The members of the Rusty Rangers are Oscar Toscano, Tim Roberson, Starlin Stevens, Marty Frymire, Santiago Frias, Travis Stoner, Jason Olson, and the Ranger Asst. Sports Editor Al Heppner, who contributed one valiant free throw. Another semester of intramural basketball has come to an end and we have crowned a new intramural champ.
