"When they did tattoo the number, your name was erased. They never did refer to you as Walter Peltz. They called you by your number." The man behind number 149,514 spoke to the crowd assembled in the Union Cinema on October 25. While wesat comfortably in our middle-class, 1994 existences, Walter Peltz took us back in time to the second World War. Peltz is a survivor of fiveNazi concentration camps, including the horrific death camp, Auschwitz. During the Holocaust, Peltz was drafted by the Polish army and then went AWOL. "I did go AWOL, 1want you to know. I'm not ashamed of it. Otherwise I wouldn't have been here. 1 went AWOL and got captured by the Naxis," he said. Review of Schindler's List - See page 8. From that point, Walter Peltz's life was never the same. After escaping several times from the Nazis, he was eventually taken and brought to a concentration camp. He was transferred to several other camps before he ended up at Auschwitz. He spent two years there. Peltz did not give graphic details of the horrors he saw at the camps. "I don't want to go into it," he stated. "I don't want you to have a sleepless night." He did, however, tell us about some ofthe tragedies brought about by the Holocaust. Peltz was the oldest of five children. At a point after he deserted the Polish army, but before he was brought to a concentration camp, Walter UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE Walter Peltz,survivor of the Holocaust, speaks to a crowd in the Union Cinema prior to a showing of "Schindler's List." returned to Warsaw to find his family.

Your Chance To Decide byDouglas D. Pasniak News Writer Voters will consider a referendum concerning handgun possession in the CityofKenosha on November 8. This referendum, if passed, will make it illegal to possess a gun with a barrel lessthan 10 inches long intended to be fired with one hand. Several groups would be exempt from this ordinance: police, security officers, licensed gun collectors, target shooters who store their guns . at clubs, and others. Violators of the proposed ordinance would be charged witha misdemeanor and fined $110 for the first offense and$210 for subsequent offenses. No jail time or criminal record would develop from this ordinance. The handgun would be confiscated and destroyed if not needed for court purposes. This referendum is supported by Campaign For A Better Kenosha. This organization consists of members from community groups, churches, and concerned citizens. Campaign For A Better Kenosha believes that possession of handguns is a serious problem and that having a handgun in the home is far more likely to kill or cause serious harm to loved ones than to protect them. One member of this organization, Bruce Bloedorn, stated, "It is not so much a crime issue but a public health issue." Bloedorn believes that passage of this referendum will force Kenosha Citizens Against Crime (the leading organization against this referendum) to come to "the table" and reinterpret the Second Amendment. Campaign For A Better Kenosha, according to Bloedorn, believes that it is a "seed to a national plan," and that if this handgun ban becomes law, Kenosha Citizens Against Crime will appeal this decision. Bloedorn believes the appeal would be based on the Second Amendment to the Constitution, the right to bear arms. The Amendment states, "A well regulated Students Rally for Education militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Bloedorn is a teacher who says he constantly hears students talking about handguns. He stated, "We're not against guns, just against handgun violence such as the kid going to school with a gun. 1wouldn't want my child playing where there are handguns." Opposed to this referendum, the Kenosha Citizens Against Crime consists of individuals, sportsmen, veterans, police officers, and business people who firmly believe in the right to bear arms. According Isee HANDGUN, page 2. Baldwin spoke of Wisconsin's traditionally strong commitment to higher education and warned about threats to that tradition. "Further shifting of the state's revenue burden to students will result in you, the students, being denied the opportunity to pursue your goals, improve your lives and improve the quality of life in Wisconsin," Baldwin said. Stacy also spoke about the recent property tax relief proposals and the threat they November 3, 1994 Enrollment Target Met for Fall 1994 by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer The University of Wisconsin System sets enrollment goals for each university in the system each semester. What the goal entails for each school is that they stay at least 1% within the target that the system has set for them. Parkside has met their goal for the fall semester. Registar Susan Johnson said,"We did fall within the one percent of meeting our target and in the eyes of the UW System, we did meet our goals." There were two campuses in the UW System who didn't meet their target enrollment goals. Two of them exceeded their range of 1 % and two ofthem fell below that range. Johnson further commented that "we did very well in a time when enrollments were declining." The enrollment for this fall rose slightly over fall 1993. Many categories increased their enrollments this semester, while few decreased. For instance, we had fewer undergraduate students this semester than we did last fall. But the number of graduate students increased this fall. The number of students of color increased, while the number of white students decreased. This semester we also have more nontraditional students than last fall, and the number of traditional students has dropped since last fall. This semester the number of part-time students increased by 4.5% in comparison to the fall 1993 enrollment. Full- time students decreased by 14%. Male student enrollment decreased from last fall to present by 2.31 %. The enrollment of women increased 3.34%.* Over 500 students from across Madison), and United Council Of thestate gathered Oct. 26 at the UW Student Governments State Capitol to protest high President David C.

Peltz is adamantly opposed to the nee-Nazi movement which has appeared here and worldwide. He is also appalled by people who don't believe the Holocaust ever happened. "In 1994, the same thing can happen," he stated. "I hope that I don't waste my time." A presentation of Schindler's List followed the lecture. Peltz remarked that the film was "98% the way it was. I do not know how he did it." still alive. And she saw me and she started to cry. And she said to me, 'Son, please, run. Maybe you are going to be one that will survive.'"

Therefore, criminals will simply ignore it.

They are Rally (continued from page 1) rallies being held at UW- Superior, UW-Oshkosh, and UW-Marathon County.

It represents 130,000 students on 22 of the 26 UW campuses. student empowerment. Ray Harmon, President of the Milwaukee Black Student Union also spoke on access to education. "Tuition is like a fire out of control, and we need to hose down that fire to allow an affordable education for us all." Students were left with a message to get involved on their campus and in their community. Sarah Behl, Legislative Director of the UW-Stevens Point student government, reported on activities student activists have conducted this fall to register students to vote and educate students. She also reported on three concurrent education we have made in this state," Stacy said. Student leaders also stressed that students must remain involved in the days ahead. 'We must exercise the most vital right that we have ... the right to vote," said Matt Blevins, Chair of the Associated Students of Madison. Jamie Kuhn, President of the UW-Green Bay student body, said, "Everyone has a right to education, and everyone is capable of improving society." Her call for diversity and a strong university system resonated across the issues of tnition, property tax relief, and of inflation," said Risser. Robert Miranda, President of the UW-Milwaukee student body, encouraged the crowd to examine the causes of tnition increases, and has called for a study of the corporate influence on public universities. Miranda is in his sixth day of a hunger strike to draw attention to spiraling tnition costs. The impact ofthe UW System was given credit for Wisconsin's strong economy. "State leaders talk about how well the Wisconsin economy is doing compared to other states. One ofthe major reasons is the strong commitment to higher pose to higher education. "Access,affordability,and quality are all in jeopardy. Property tax relief to fund kindergarten through 12th grade education must not gut our university system," Stacy said. "(We) have paid enough. We are here to tell them that we will not tolerate property tax relief at the expense of students. We just don't have the cash," said Arellano. Numerous speakers added that tnition increases have outpaced inflation, property taxes and health care coats.
