Students to represent Uw-p at budget hearing in Kenosha by Jim Hendrickson "I'm not going to pretend there. are any easy answers," said Tedi Wi nnett, at a recent workshop on planning budgets on limited incomes. "It doesn't matter how much you have; it's how you manage it." The State of Wisconsin has more to spend than the average family offour, but it still has some budget difficulties. For instance, many people at UWParkside are concerned about the possible closing of the Office of Teri Jacobson Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA). An open hearing on the proposed state budget will be held Wednesday, April 19, at the conference center of Gateway Technical College, located at 3520-30th Ave. in Kenosha. "There are many points of concern in the budget and making iegislators available to discuss concerns is just an act of good government," said State Representative Jim Kreuser (DKenosha). "I have recei ved phone calls and letters on issues ranging from medical assistance and gasoline fee increases to student financial aid and the elimination of the Department of Public Instruction," said Kreuser. "I understand that there are many concerns with this proposed budget, and 1 want people to be able to voice their concerns." Students speak with Cohen, applicant for UW-P Vice Chancellor by Pamela Bradshaw News Writer Howard Cohen, The University of Wisconsin Parksides Interim Vice Chancellor and candidate for the position, was interviewed by students on April 5th. He was the second finalist interviewed in a series that will conclude April 28. Cohen is also a finalist for the same position at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Regarding the selection process he commented, "This is like a vacation. 1 get to go out and talk to people today instead of being chained to my desk." Nathan Pieper, president of SOC and co-coordinator of GLO, asked Cohen why he wanted to remain at Parks ide. "Universities like UWP ...are places that were started ... to provide access to university education to a broader range of people. "These are the places where the action is in higher education. This is where the concept of what a university education means is still being worked out. I think anybody who's interested in making a difference in higher education ...would want to be in a place like this." Tommy Richie, president of PSGA, asked Cohen what changes State Senator Joe Andrea and Representati ve Bob Wirch plan to attend the hearing. "I have long been an advocate of local hearings in the evening. It helps keep government close to the people - where it belongs," said Andrea. At a recent meeting in Milwaukee, the Joint Finance Committee refused to hear the protests of hundreds of people. Those who did speak were allowed 30 seconds to express their opinions on the 3000-page state budget. The Kenosha hearing will be open to the public, and it will he would like to make if he became the Vice Chancellor. "We have obligations to prepare students for citizenship and obligations to prepare students for a career. "What I mean by that is the kind of things that you Howard Cohen need to learn in a university to be an active participant in tbe society that you live in and go out prepared to improve it and change it. You also come to the university hoping to be prepared to ...make a career choice where you can do things that will be personally satisfying to you. "I think for the last 50 years or so in higher education we've seen that as a kind of conflict. Should the curriculum be more geared towards citizenship or should it be more geared towards career preparation. "What I think is really starting to happen .. .is there is a convergence between the knowledge and skills that a ... graduate is going to need in UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE Jim tlf/ndrickson shoots his way to second place at Mondily's pool tournament.

Cohen listed skills he felt would prepare students for both career and citizenship: c o rn m u n ic a t io n/ skills, information Iiteracy ski lis, teamwork and a "carefully thoughtout reflective perspective about the world around you. "The challenge for the university is to design a curticulum that prepares students so when they graduate they will be accomplished in those things. Our job is to ... identify whal...a successful, accomplished graduate needs to be able to do. Then to look back in the curriculum and make sure we've designed the curriculum so that when a student goes through he'll be prepared in that way."

The school of choice will not be held responsible for this disturbance, even though the school will be receiving tax payer's dollars and even though the "Catholic Church has set aside a lot of money to see this through."

The Ranger News Is published by students of the University of wteoonsln-Parsslde who are SOlely responsible for the editorial policy and content contained herein. p Maria1s Melange by Maria Smith Ranger columnist Earlier this semester I was assigned a news story. The story was Sarah Rahri's death. I did the story and it appeared in our first edition of the year. After that, as a news writer, I was through with Sarah. As a 000- Christian, I would only begin to get to know her. During the interview process with Sarah's fiance, Andy Boedecker, I first became curious about Sarah's faith and the faith of all of whom she'd left behind. Andy seemed almost too joyous to me. JL really bothered me. After the interviewing was over, Iwrote "Sarah's Story" and walked away. Or so I thought For the next week following the story, Ihad a hard time getting to sleep. I kept thinking about Sarah's faith in God. I also thought about the possibility of the "heaven" they'd all been so sure Sarah had gone home to. I began to ask questions in my own mind. The torment as to my question about the existence of God began. When I did the phone interview with Andy he told me he was a finance major and was going to be in my class when the semester began. He forgot to tell me what he looked like so the first day of class I found myself looking for a "Christian." As the students filed in I saw a very quiet, almost submissive-looking guy wearing a tie enter the room. Iwas sure that was him. Iturned and introduced myself. He didn't know who the heck I was. 1 picked the wrong guy. Ilooked around the room for what Ithought a Christian might look like and couldn't see anyone who fit my preconceived stereotype. Finally, I heard somebody call his name. I looked up and saw a guy with a Chargers cap on (he was obviously misguided when it came to football) and a sweat shirt, jeans and sneakers. "Could this be the Christian?" Iwondered. "He doesn't look like a Christian." I began to realize that my stereotype of Christians was a misguided as Andy's choice for a football team (Dolphins-Superbowl 1997-Marino rules). Sorry, I've been wanting to do that all year. After class that day Iapproached Andy and introduced myself. Although he was very nice, Iwas still bothered by the fact that he was acting too happy for someone who had just lost a loved one, Sarah. I knew that his belief in God, Jesus and eternity with the Lord was the connection between Sarah's death and his ability to accept it. I then asked him if I could talk with him for a moment about God. We found a comfortable place to sit and Ibegan to ask questions about God. Everything I asked had a negative flavor to it. I was very angry with this God because I didn't know whether or not to believe in his existence. I just knew that Icouldn't stop asking questions. I couldn't stop searching for answers. As time passed, J began to meet One Liberalls Opinion Barb Churchill Ranger columnist Well, as last week, I've got a lot to talk about but very little space to do it in. I've heard from a trusted PSGA source that many people have checked out election packets, more people than last time. So, some of you out there aren't as apathetic as you appear! That surprises me, but also pleases me. Just remember, VOTE THIS TIME! If you wish a few endorsements, here they are: Teri Jacobson, Ami Orava, Jason Weniger, and Tyson Wilda should all be elected Senator. They are committed and qualified, and all of them have impressed me with their intelligence and work ethic. Ami Orava was elected in the disputed election, but already has been to a couple of UC meetings, and has been appointed OMSA liaison to DC. Tyson Wilda is concerned about Tommy's proposed budget, and has worked with Ten Jacobson to try to keep it from happening. Jason Weniger has been to numerous UC meetings, and is well-versed in all the PSGA ins and outs. These people can change PSGA for the better-give them a chance! Tommy's proposed budget still makes my skin crawl. Why is it that Parkside, the UW -Center Schools (2 year institutions, who already have small budgets), and other small schools get hit hardest? What is it about Tommy Thompson, anyway? And Why do the Regents always cut the little guys first? Why can't Madison or Milwaukee take the hit, for a change? (Because they would complain effectively, that's why.) When you think of Parkside, the phrase "first and worst" should come to mind. And that is very sad. The other UW school newspapers that I've read in recent weeks are also discontent, but only one school is doing anything at all about the problem. That school is Whitewater. They are organizing protests and sending cards, all with the intent of stopping the damage before it starts. The effort has so far gone unnoticed, but hopefully it will be like water on a stone: eventually, the Whitewater students will just erode the resistance away. Oshkosh, Stevens Point, and Superior seem concerned, but relieved that it doesn't appear to be worse. The problem with that attitude is that it can not change anything for the better. The assumption "it could be worse" is always unassailable. How about trying "it could be better" instead? Then, we could fight for what we need and want as UW ~ System students (as well as taxpayers.) But that would be too easy. However, for the non-apathetic, caring and concerned students out there, there is something that you CAN do. This thing is to attend the hearing at Gateway Technical College, Kenosha, at 6 PM on Wednesday, April 19th in the Conference Center. This is the only proposed budgetary hearing in Southeastern Wisconsin, and we need to go there and show our anger. If we do, perhaps something will change. Even if it doesn't, it will be beyond belief if politicians try later to say that they didn't know how upset we were! But we must try. If we don't, then maybe we deserve what we' n get: the shaft. Quote of the Week: "People always use the same old argument: 'I can't do it all, so I'm not going to do any.' And they don't." Lois McMaster Bujold, Mirror Dance ~ 3 'Thank you, Sarah! more Christians. They were all so willing to try and help me with my struggle with God. They were all so patient. Still, in spite of all of their efforts, Ineeded more proof. Finally, Ireached a point of utter frustration. I became so broken in spirit because no one could furnish the proof I so desperately needed. I decided to give up. But the next morning Iwoke with Sarah's faith on my mind. It wouldn't go away. A few days later Ifound myself deeply depressed over the whole question of God. Iwas driving in my car as a song came on the radio (actually it was a tape that I had just bought). It was entitled "Here Comes the Flood" by Peter Gabriel. The words blew me away. Tears started rolling from my eyes. Warmth filled my heart. I couldn't explain why, but Ifelt something beyond what the words were saying. I went home and laid on my bed and listened to the song again and again. About a half hour later I felt Him. The questions were gone. I knew God was real. Not because of a song or because of any proof, but because I felt Him. Ireally felt Him. Itwas the most moving experience of my life, realizing that He was real. I literally jumped for joy. I called everyone I knew to tell them what I'd found. What Isearched for was God. What 1 found was love. I found God and then felt the deepest, purest love of my life. I finally realized why Andy felt a certain joy. He kept telling me he knew Sarah was with her Savior. Finally, Ibelieved. Since Sarah's death Ihave had the pleasure of meeting many people who knew her. I love hearing about her life. I met her family and they were just as special as I'd imagined them to be. This past weekend I had an opportunity to view the memorial services of Sarah Rahn as they were recorded on video. It was a beautiful, moving service. There were approximately seven hundred people there to say goodbye to Sarah. Many who spoke of her recalled funny, happy memories of Sarah. I felt like I'd gotten an even closer glimpse of her because of their recollections. After the memorial service was over on the video, there Observations were recordings of different concerts that Sarah was a part of. You see, she was a beautiful singer. When I heard her voice Ijust melted. What a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice and and even far greater faith in the Lord. As Iwatched that video, the words ''Thank you, Sarah" carne into my mind. You see, it was Sarah's unrelenting faith in the face of her terminal illness and the faith of all whom she'd left behind that got me asking questions about God, which led me to the answers.J'll never forget what her mother said to me (this was before Ibecame a Christian) just weeks after Sarah passed away. She said, "Sarah was always concerned with the spiritual well-being of people. There have been many people who have come to know the Lord as a result of Sarah's life and as a result of her death." I finally know what she meant by that statement. To Sarah, I'd like to say thank you and not goodbye, but "see you later," as I'm sure that I will. Be Careful What You Wish For approach. USA Today has reported that lobbyists are in fact writing some Republican bills. This is no change from the former masters of the House. We can give thanks to our forefathers for providing a more deliberative body know as the Senate. Most of the damage done in the House will not survive in the Senate. Vet even in the Senate the Republicans are scary, there are too many Jesse Helms, Strom Thurrnonds and (God help us all) Phil Gramms and not enough Nancy Kassenbaums and William Cohens, The Republican party I was at ease with twenty years ago is not one I am comfortable in now. J may have leaned Republican, but the party of Gingrich is not the party ofFord (or I would argue Tommy Thompson). Professor Hayward told me recently that he thought Ihad to be too intelligent to be that conservative, I think he is right. I want no part of a Republican party that identifies itself with Phil Graham or Pat Buchanan. Compared to that, Clinton and the Democrats look better all the time.

Nelson Dear Editor, Ihope that by publishing this letter it catches the eye of those in charge of the large glass windows found throughout Parkside. Many different kinds of plants and animals can be found amidst the beautiful campus of Parkside. The shrubs and trees encompassing the University render it with an aesthetic quality that is cherished by many. Numerous large windows enable those inside to catch a glimpse of the natural beauty outside. Unfortunately the very picture the windows let us view, reflect out a mirror image of that scenery. To the many birds attracted to our campus it is a shame that so many are killed every year by these windows. The most notorious of them are those on the west side of Greenquist and those surrounding Main Place. Today [ found a dead Golden-Crowned Kinglet outside of Molinaro and finally wrote this long overdue letter. We owe to the birds this campus attracts, protection from these deathtraps.

Extreme performed a sold-out, general admission concert on April I at the Vic Theater in Chicago. Opening for them was another group from Boston, Flesh; similar to Extreme in music type, performance, and even looks, because the lead singer and guitar are brothers of Extreme's lead and guitar- Gary and Nuno. Flesh did well, but the crowd was not enthusiastic; they are not that well known yet. Extreme's performance brought the crowd to life! I had seen Extreme in concert quite a few times before, and they did not disappoint me. by Mike Schaefer No, its not a typo. Nor is "observating" a word, although it sounds like it should be and if it were Ibelieve it would read in the dictionary as "observate, n: to see, to contemplate and to learn a truth; to observe, ponder and realize." Anyway, this week I've observated a whole lot (choke on that one), and one thing I've observated (if I write it enough, I'm hoping a professor will inadvertently use it in a lecture)(please let me know if that happens),well, I guess I always knew this, but there's a big difference between 'knowing' and 'K-nowing', is tbat people who have something to show you will do so no matter how obviously you care not to be led down that trail. To illustrate I had a wonderful story about my grandmother, a surgical scar and an otherwise uneventful meal. However, due to a particular editor's fear of public outcry against a particular aspect of my story ... Suffice to say the scar was below the beltline, the otherwise uneventful meal blah-blah-blah and you can guess the rest but you've missed the poignancy of the occasion and whatever I had to say about what I observated has been lost. Forever. So, failing to properly convey' the magnitude of that experience, something else I observated recently: people who aren't true to themselves. A friend of mine Katy Stephan, owns a store in downtown Racine called The Main Idea. She sells rubber stamps, oodles and oodles of cards for all occasions and the types of T-shirts tourists coming to Racine would buy. Its cool. You should bop on in. Anyhoo, as I was buying cards and chatting about how she could get some free ( !J5 The exciting new drummer, Michael Mangini, was certainly no disappointment either! Nuno's captivating guitar solo, "Midnight Express," was incredible. A medley of their older music gracefully blended with the new. The audience sang along. Wonderful! There were some technical difficulties, however. None were severe enough to delay the show for very long. Surprisingly, Extreme only played for an hour and a half (probably because Gary was quite ill). The audience hungered for more, but there was only one encore. In addition to the new drummer, their "new look" included other changes. Gary went from a head full of fluffy curls to a head full of almost nothing. The bass player advertising for her store (The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Recine) some guy pulled up in front of her store (The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Racine) and she (Katy Stephan, owner of The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Racine) said, "I bet he goes into Racine News" which, for those of you wbo don't know, is a porn shop. Now, an aside here. I know (I've observated) my subject material usually hovers around the almost-crude to the way-beyondcrude, things one doesn't speak of in polite company and doing things that look none too coolon a business resume. Well, life isn't a business resume. As much as life is about being a good parent, cleaning your room, eating your vegetables, crossing your 't'sand dotting your lower case 'j' s, life is also about not letting anyone know you just broke wind, getting lost during a night of binging in the French Quarter and parking in the handicapped space while you run in for cigarettes. As important in life as good hygiene is, sometimes you just gotta wipe your nose on your sleeve or scratch yourself. And, I've found, its when people are doing those things that "you just shouldn't do" that people are as 'real' and as interesting as they're ever going to get. So, when I write about my friend who was arrested for white slavery or the time I was making salad for a dinner party, chopped off a piece of my finger, couldn't find the piece and served the salad anyway or that this rough draft was written while I was buck naked and dripping from a recent shower or my grandmother's surgery scars or some guy walking into a porn shop, well...now you know. These are the things we really are and they're infinitely - 4 ~ jJ Jour Pat cut his hair a bit shorter, changed to a darker shade of blond, added a mini-beard and mustache. Nuno shortened his dark-brown hair and dyed it a shocking golden blond. The new look is drastically different, but they still look great! Overall, it was an extraordinary concert, one of the best I've seen. For the first time I got to see the band after the show! And to those of you who have heard that Nuno is unfriendly and inconsiderate to fans, that information is far from the truth. Nuno and the other three are the sweetest guys I've ever met. So, if you have a chance to catch the "Punchline '95" tour, don't hesitate to buy your tickets. The show is well worth every penny you have to pay and every mile you have to travel!

The so called "SO's" seem to be making a strong comeback. There's no way you can think of the 19S0's and not think of Duran Duran. When MTV first hit the air waves these guys were pegged at keeping it on the air. They not only revolutionized the music videos we rely on today, but they were always on top of the pop music scene with fresh new sounds. Well now it's 1995 and Duran Duran has made another strong comeback with their new album "Thank You." "Thank You" is an album in wbicb Duran Duran covers some of their favorite songs of the past. They tend to be artists and/or songs that have influenced them the most, hence the name "Thank You." From Led Zeppelin to Public Enemy, this album has a taste of everything. This was an album that took some time being put together_It was recorded around the world from 1992 to 1994. One pleasing thing that I can say about Duran Duran's cover album is it sounds exactly like the original? The real task is to make the song your own, and this is what Duran Duran does on each and every track. (Thankfully!) The opening track of this album, "White Lines," is sure to bring back some memories. Duran Duran has taken this song and made a dance track out of it, that all together, seems to rock, groove, and rap all at the same time! With a rip roaring guitar, upbeat rhythm, and guest appearance by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, the song is destined to hit the charts once again. Another stand out of the album is a cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay." Again, Duran Duran does an incredible job on this song. Simon Le Bon's voice does the song justice by incorporating a nice smooth feel to the song. A surprise to me was to hear a cover of the controversial hit by Public Enemy, "911 is a Joke." On this track Duran Duran keeps the rap groove in the song along with an acoustic bluesy feel. Don't get me wrong though, the "thump" of the bass is still in there! Probably one of my favorite songs on the album is a cover of the song "Success" originally done by Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Simply put, this song is both upbeat and refreshing, with Duran Duran's signature written all over it. Two songs that I have to say that are done exceptionally well are covers of the Door's "Crystal Ship," and Led Zepplin's "Thank You." In both songs Duran Duran incorporates the eerie feeling of the original artists in their own way. The end result are two great songs that respectfully pay tribute to the original artists. Duran Duran is one of the few "pop" bands from the SO's that are still going strong. Their survival is due primarily to the fact that they don't stray from their true sound. They may change it, or improve it here and there, but it still, and always will sound like Duran Duran. "Thank You" is another chapter in a long and prosperous future for Duran Duran. They truly deserve our "thanks" for a great effort on a thoroughly enjoyable album. ONE C;URU·S OPiNiON? by Barb Churchill the alternative guru herself In the past few columns, I've summarized several alternative albums, and by now you might be wondering, "What constitutes alternative music, anyway" After all, a lot of music is categorized as alternative when it really isn't, and that really confuses the issue. How can all of these bands really be alternative? Or is this just a plot to increase record sales? Let's look at the five best-known Seattle bands, and talk about whether these bands are really alternative, or just labeled that so that their record sales will increase. The five bands are Nirvana, Soundgarden. Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Pearl Jam. Alternative offers the listener a change from the normal partyrock that characterizes most of rock radio's airwaves (Van Halen, for one). It usually offers diffcrent sounds, unusual rhythmic content, superior musicianship, and topical lyrics. The musicians specializing in "alternative" usually have a better than average knowledge of music. That is because the "alternative sound" requires better quality of musicianship in order to pull it off. The songs sound more like classical cornpositi ons ; and less like cacophonous noise. Since alternative music, by definition, requires outstanding musicians to play it effectively, this means that some well-known bands are definitely NOT alternative. Pearl Jam is not alternative. Stone Temple Pilots also are not alternative. These bands use tried and true rock formulas, and the same three chords over and over again. (One of Pearl Jam's songs uses only one chord, and the same rhythm throughout. How boring.) Their best songs have a monotonous drone to them. (But it sells, so they keep on doing it.) These bands often get lumped into the "alternative" category, but they shouldn't be. The reasons that they do is because I) they are from Seattle, home of some of the best alternative bands and 2) some of their songs feature topical lyrics. Stone Temple Pilots first album varied between alternative-like ("Creep") to straight-ahead rock nonsense. (Take "Plush," please!) Their second album, although much better in quality, took more of its influence from the Rolling Stones rather than Nirvana or Alice in Chains. Both Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots sound like they just stepped out of someone's garage, and seem to have little or no knowledge of how to play music. Their rock predecessors seem to be 80's Foreigner, the above-mentioned Stones, or possibly even Elton John (as in, good to listen to if it's on, but then forget it!). If you truly want a newer sound (like alternative), skip them. The other three bands from Seattle are definitely alternative bands. All three (Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Sound garden) feature songs that have unusual chord changes, non-traditional rhythmic patterns, topical lyrics, and superior musicianship. Their songs are intricate, unlike other rock groups. For instance, "Nutshell"(Alice in Chains) features superior bass and guitar playing, and "The Man Who Sold the World" features excellent singing by Kurt Cobain and good guitar playing. "Real Thing" (Alice in Chains) is about cocaine abuse, and features lyrics like "I'm going down the steps of the white line ... straight to nowhere." Nirvana has songs like "Lithium," which has lyrics like "I'm so ugly, but that's OK ...so are you." "Fell on Black Days" highlights despair, because the guy just can't seem to have anything good happen to him. "Whatsoever I feared has ... come to life. And whatsoever Isought out...became my life." These lyrics highlight the despair thai Generation X-ers Final Notice feel about life in general. The reason alternative is a good label to put on nonalternative records (such as Weezer, which really is country, and Offspring, which is really punk) is because the lyrics tap into the generalized discontent that we Gen-Xers feel about life. We realize that we will be the first group of people that will do worse financially than our parents. We are expected to support the baby-boom generation's Social Security needs, despite the fact that they outnumber us 2 to 1. We are the generation that has grown up with the atomic bomb, the higher divorce rate, Vietnam, and AIDS. (Is it any wonder that we think that life generally stinks?) When groups come along like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Nirvana, and they highlight very real problems in our lives, we have to be moved. If they do these things with the high level of musicianship that they have, so much the better! These groups don't play the same three chords, over and over and OVER again, until you are sick of them. Instead, they offer real change, with timely lyrics and a fresh approach. So, give them a try if you haven't already. And remember, just because it comes from Seattle doesn't mean that it's alternative.

Sponsored by ECKANKAR The University of WisconsinParkside softball team's record will stay at 25-6 through the weekend as both doubleheaders scheduled for Saturday and Sunday have been cancelled due to the weather. The Rangers had been scheduled to play twin bills Saturday at Northwood University in Midland, Michigan and Sunday at Ferris State but heavy rains caused the cancellation of both. None of the games were rescheduled. Others receiving votes (in alphabetical order): Cal. State Dominguez, Columbus (Georgia), Morningside (Iowa), New Haven (CT), Sacred Heart (Conn), UW-Parkside In Case You Missed It C. J. Nelson Hey, Terry the Bell's Rung: Maybe some one should have shouted that to boxer Terry Norris on Saturday. Norris struck a low blow to Junior Middleweight Luis Santana just before he decked him seven seconds after the bell rang ending the third round. This is the third fight Norris has lost due to disqualification. NFLing Around: Dave Wandstadt continues to change the Bears. Last week Tom Waddle took his sure hands to Cincinnati and Trace Armstrong was traded to Miami. Bronco line backer Pat Swilling is headed to the Raiders, Herschel Walker moved up 1-95 a few miles to the N.Y. Giants. Miami also took corner hack Terrell Buckley of the Packers hands for past considerations. Mastering the Links: Ben Crenshaw paid his respects to his mentor Havey Penick (who died last Sunday) by winning the 1995 Master's Green Coat. Crenshaw tied golf great Ben Hogan for the second lowest score in Master's history. Picking up the Split: The Cleveland Cavaliers managed a split against the Chicago Bulls over the weekend. His airness missed on a buzzer beater on Sunday allowing the Cav's a one point win. The preceding Friday Michael Jordan set a record for career points allowed by a Cleveland team. Jordan has scored over 1,500 points against the Cavs in his career. Jordan is to the Cavaliers what Michael Schmidt is to the Cubs. We Told You, Didn't we: This is what owners appear to be saying to baseball players. As predicted by the owners, small market teams began unloading highly talented players they could not afford. Gone from Montreal are Marquis Grissom, Larry Walker, John Wetteland and Ken Hill. K. C. waived bye to 94 Cy Young winner Dave Cone, catcher Mike McFarlane and outfielder Brian McRae. Dispatch from Camp Unemployment: Free agent players looking for a 95 home are working out in Homestead, FI. Players such as Mariano Duncan, Jody Reed, Howard Johnson, and Chris Saba are hoping for a call from a major league club. Pay Cut: Players who have signed have seen the salary go down. Dave Stewart, Mariano Duncan, Pat Borders, Bob Welch and B. 1. Surhoff are among players who have seen their pay decrease by almost 2 million dollars or more. Amazing Grace: Cubs first baseman Mark Grace agreed to slay on Chicago's north side for the 95 season. The south side Sox made a run for his services (Frank Thomas even agreed to be a full time DH if Grace went south) but Grace decided to remain a Cubby. The Cubs also acquired Center Fielder Brian McRae from K. C. fat 2 minor league pitchers. Hit the Road Jack: That's what the Chicago pale hose (White Sox) let ace pitcher Jack McDowell do. The Sox corrected this problem hy signing lefty Jim Abbott for 95. The Sox also signed outfielder Mike Deveraux. They still have not got a bona fide bat to protect Frank Thomas. As it stands now the only strike Frank is likely to see all year is the first pitch of the season. As I See It: Quick picks based on players moves so far: AL East: Any of four teams, NY, Baltimore, Boston or Toronto the only sure thing in this division is that Detroit will finish last. AL Central: Sorry Sox fans the Indians are for real. Cleveland, White Sox, Kansas City, Minnesota, Milwaukee. AL West: Seattle gets the nod over Texas, with the A's and Angels following. NL East: Atlanta is several steps above the rest. The rest includes Philadelphia, Florida, the Mets and the Expos. NL Central: I would like to say the Cubs but I can't. Cincinnati gets the slight nod over the Astros (who will wild card) then comes the Cards, Cubs, and Pirates. NL West: Surprise, the Rockies win the west over the Dodgers. The Padres and Giants will place.
