Typically, UC see Debates, page 3 Demand for science teachers in the area AMANDA BULGRIN EDITOR-IN-CHIEF required 2 credits. Because of this, more science teachers are needed. According to Joe Balsano, director of the Science and Technology Education Center, a historical factor also plays a role in the demand for science teachers. In 1957-1958 Sputnik, artificial sateIlites, were launched by USSR. This placed pressure on science and technology in the United States. In order to keep up with the technological race see Science, page 3 Anatomy of a jury trial COLEEN TARTAGLIA ENTERTAlNMENT EDITOR For the Soup and Substance series, Kenosha County circuit coon Judge, Barbara Kluka, visited UW-Parkside last Wednesday. "I am going to talk about an activity that OCcurs least frequently in a court system," she said, 'jury trials." Most jury trials are for cases of sexual assault, first degree murder, and revoked licenses. The breakdown for Kenosha County for crimes brought to the Courtsin 1996 is: 1,200 felony cases 5,lXX)misdemeanor cases Only 100 went to jury trial The jury is selected from departmentofMotorVehicies lists. Ifyou drive, you can be chosen. Judge Kluka says they are trying to expand that list to include high school graduates, and customers Whopay utility bills. so more people may have a chance of being Chosen,not only people who drive. In 1996-97, the Department of Motor Vehicles put 101,000 into Kenosha's computer system. The system randomly selected 8,000 Three Parkside students All-American Sophomore Ann Kelley earned All-American honors in the 1000 m run last weekend at tbe NAIA National Indoor Championships at the University of Nebraska. More on this and many other exciting Ranger sports storys ong page 6 and 7. people, and the court sent them questionnaires for possible jury electors. The questionnaire is very short, in fact, I have responded to one. They ask age, residency, citizenship, and if you are a convicted felon. If you are not a convicted felon, you are an elector, which entitles you the right to be on ajury, Out of the- 8,000 people, approximately 6,000 are chosen after, "weeding out the citizens who cannot participate." Those 6,000 are again randomly selected to serve on juries. The Kenosha County court system has seven judges, out of those seven, they might each have one or two jury trails a week. Twenty possible jurors are selected for each trial. Out of those 20, six get weeded out, 12 remain for the jury, and two remain as alternate jurors. In 1992, the American Disability Association (ADA) was enacted, giving persons with disabilities the right to accommodations. Wheelchair accessibility is a given, but other disabilities such as reading, writing, or language difficulties, such as a deaf or blind disability, those people wiIl get the accommodations they need to be equal with all jurors in deciding a case. As for race and gender issues, an audience member asked Judge Kluka if anything can be done to get more minorities on jury trials. She said, "Jury selection is a random process, we cannot include or exclude anyone." Due to an increase in the mandatory science credits at the high school level and a historical factor, there is a demand for science teachers in the area. Recently the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction mandated that high school students will need to take 3 credits of science rather than the previously Kreuser Sponsors Legislation To Crack Down on Unpaid Parking Tickets ets should pay up before all of us have to bear the burden of higher taxes. It's an issue of fairness," noted Kreuser. "This money can be put to good use at the local level and this biIl should help give municipalities an extra tool to use to collect what is due to them." The biIl would give car owners in violation at least 28 days of notice before their car could be booted. Last legislative session a similar measure passed the Assembly 74- 24, but the State Senate Adjourned for the session before laking action on the bill. Representative Jim Kreuser sponsored legislation aimed at getting people to pay unpaid parking tickets. The bill would allow municipalities to immobilize or "boot" vehicles with five or more outstanding parking tickets. Unpaid tickets are a major source of lost revenue of localities. The City of Milwaukee has over $15 million in unpaid parking tickets and according to the Kenosha Police Department the City of Kenosha has in excess of $350,000 in unpaid parking fines.

Nhether students are going to Florida. Colorado. or just staying home. it is time to relax and enjoy the week off. Before students take off though. from March 10 through March 14. the Peer Health Educators have put together "Safe Spring Break" week. "Safe Spring Break" week will be full of posters. information.

Their pledge will then be entered into a nationwide drawing. PHE's theme this year is ..It's a Friends Thing". They believe that friends are the best equipped to look out for each other. PHE captain Debra Scott said.· ..If everyone would look out for their friends. whether it be with alcohol and drugs. drunk/drugged driving. safer sex. sunbathing, oreven getting a tattoo, we'd all have a community of people to look out for each other." The Peer Health Educators would like to encourage friends to look out for each other and take care of each other. especially over Spring Break! Have a Safe Break' game. The purpose of the week is to influence students to make safer choices as well as watch out for their friends over break. Every year. drug and alcohol-related injuries and deaths increase between March and mid-April due to Spring Breaks nationwide.

Teri Jacobson, Senior: "I am running for the office of President for many reasons. One is that I enjoy representing the students of UW-Parkside to faculty. staff. administrators and community people. Another reason is that I learn a great deal from representing the students and would like to continue to learn and continue to share the knowledge that I learn with my fellow students. I believe I have done a good job representing the students in the past and hope I will be able to again in the future. As the chair of SUFAC (Seg. Univ. Fee Allocation Com.) I was able to keep the fees from raising for two years.' As the chair of the Legislative Affairs Committee I helped lobby legislators to protect the school's budget and the Tuition Award Program (TAP). As a member of the Parking Policies Corn., J am working to make the of their ideas and needs." Parking Policies more user-friendly." Corey Mandley, Freshman: "I have the leadership skills and knowledge to be the Vice-President of PSGA. As VicePresident I will be committed to representing all students here at Parkside." Jeremy Kinsey, Junior: "My name is Jeremy Kinsey. I am a Junior majoring in Art. My intentions in this election are not personal. Ihave no set personal agenda. I would like your vote for president in order to inform you. the student. of what goes on in Parkside Student Government. I seek your input and suggestions. It is with this input that I will fulfill my duties by providing the students of Parkside with the implementation Auzio Hewlett, Freshman: "Will be running in support of Corey Mandley as Vice President. To help make 'a difference." Jason Weniger, Junior: "It would be nifty to be President." (Art major) Jason Weniger, Junior: "It would be nifty to have the title Senator." Jason Weniger, Junior: "It would be nifty to be on PUAB.'· Jason Weniger, Junior: ..It would be nifty to be on SUFAC.'· Letters to the Editor holds one General Assembly meeting a month. each time at a different UW schooL Pawlowski called Parkside's UC membership "a waste of money" since it costs the university "$14.000 a year to send some PSGA members to party at UW schools." Mandley said it is "very important" for Parkside to belong because "we need our representation," On UC. Kinsey said. ''95 cents is a pittance .... Like Sally Struthers says. that's about the price of a cup of coffee." Weniger said UC "gives us representation we can't give ourselves." Jacobson pointed out that the 95-cent figure ignores the $4500 in the PSGA travel budget to attend General Assemblies and added. "UC only works if UW-Parkside is actively involved in it." UW-Parkside students will decide about Parkside's continued membership in United Council by referendum March 5 and 6. On Diversity. candidates at all levels agreed that much remains to be done to increase the level of awareness at Parkside. Kinsey suggested that by getting all the clubs together to hold a collective event, we might combat the problem of ignorance. Jacobson commended Parkside's population which is willing to get involved. Jammerson recommended that an African American be hired to teach African American history. Mandley recommended Parkside "use UC as an instrument of diversity." In the words of candidate Weniger, "Vote for whoever you think is qualified. This year you have a choice." T 0 the Editor: No. ladies and gentlemen. the circus has not come to Parkside. but the Parkside Student Government Association(PSGA) is providing the next best thing: an election. This time around however, something is different: this semester your vote truly matters! Every two years we have to vote on whether we should continue to pay or fire our lobbyist group. the United Council. For many moons this "Useless" Council has accomplished nothing more than taking our money and spending it all on convincing us that we should be honored to pay. Not, only does each student pay UC 95 cents each semester. but PSGA budgets $4.500 for food. lodging. and travel to send students to UC conferences at other brainwashed schools. The only thing I have ever heard discussed about these conferences is how great the parties are. IT IS TIME TO VOTE NO ON SPENDING $14.000 PER YEAR TO SEND STIJDENTS TO PARTY' The other issue of note is the election of PSGA president. If this race were a spaghetti western it would be entitled "The Good. The Bad. and the Unknown." The Good: the incumbent Teri Jacobson. who knows more about PSGA and has done more work than the rest of PSGA combined. The Bad: The vice-president Jason Weniger, who has apparently decided that his ability to be tardy to or to entirely miss PSGA meetings that he is paid to chair makes him worthy of a promotion. The,Unknown: Jeremy Kinsey. a PSGA outsider who allegedly is only running to find out what student government does, but has ne,:er even bothered to attend a Senate meeting. Only six people ?"'e running for the nine open senate seats, so if you are not on the ballot, you could still run a successful write in campaign. Zac Pawlowski. Student Senator To the Editor: I would like to take this opportunity to speak from the heart. A few weeks ago. I was asked to help make posters advertising PSGA's Open House. and, in my zeal to create a piece of eye-popping publicity, Iinsensitively used wording that could be construed as making a negative value judgment about medical programs in certain nations. This error stemmed from the fact that. as a member of a small, largely ignored campus organization. I found that only "on the edge" publicity attracted students to our events. As a result of later reflection, I realized that such an advertisement, while it may attract the eye, can also hurt and offend. I understand how that sign may have been hurtful to some members ofthe campus community. and I offer them my sincerest apologies. Richard Karwatka Science from page 1 of the early 6O's emphasis was placed on science; teaching and education. This increase produced a large amount of science teachers 30 years ago. Now, however, that mass of science educators are ready to retire, opening more space for science teachers. "It's a good time to be considering science teaching," stated Balsano. Balsano added that the largest demand was for the secondary sciences. 6-12 grades. In other levels. a background in science will help get you a job. g I March 6,1997."..~ Panama- City, Florida vs, Canelln, Mexico . LINDA GARCIA GUEST WRITER City, Florida and Cancun, Mexico seem to be the most popular places to cure an exam hangover. So, what's your pleasure? Panama City or Cancun? Both vacation spots offer similar fantasies: sun, beach, parties and cruises, although both are individual in many respects. For the past three years, the Imagine sitting on a sandy beach with all your friends basking in the warm sun. The clear waves are crashing at your feet as you sip an ice cold strawberry daiquiri.

"e'''tI'. (LU~ 'FII&IIII Parkside Union has offered spring break in Panama City. Each year the tum out has increased. In 1995, 3 J students attended compared to the 74 students who jumped on the bandwagon in 1996. For this spring break the Union has only reserved spots for 55 students and room is still available. In Panama City, there is a world of parties, bars, cruises and snorkeling. On the main strip of the town you will run into a ton of small and large novelty stores and a million hotels. The hotel that the Parkside students will be staying at is the Days Inn. All the rooms are Gulf front and have a beautiful view. You will be able to keep an eye on the party at all times. The day begins with dancing and hanging out at the beach and extends into the evening dancing at the famous Spinnakers or at the popular club La Vela. Don't worry if you think you will left out of the fun because you are not old enough; you only have to be 18 to get in, although 21 to drink. Students who have taken this excursion have nothing but good reviews. Sue Bushweiler of the information desk guarantees a great time for everyone. Christa Molina, a student at Parkside, exclaims, "I couldn't believe how much fun I had!" Don't know much Spanish? Not a problem. In Cancun the only necessary word is 'cerveza' (beer). Like Panama City, Cancun offers many of the same packages. There are scuba diving, sunset cruises, booze cruises, and day excursions. The sun is hot, the beaches are beautiful with white sand and clear blue water. The students that fly off to Mexico stay either in the Laguna Cancun, Laguna Verde, or Laguna Inn. They are conveniently located to the water and near all the great nightclubs. The nightclubs in Cancun are wild and crazy. There are foampar. ties, popular clubs like Senor Frogs, Carlos and Charlies, Fat Tuesday's and the infamous La Boom. Becky Ranchoner states, "This is the third time Iam going and definitely not the last'" Don't worry about having to rent a car, because there is always transportation waiting at the door. If there isn't the city bus, there are eager cab drivers willing to makea deal.

Tucker shatters school record, Licht and Kelley also All-American ALHEPPNER SPORfS EDITOR Seven runners, five finalists, and three AIIAmericans in two events. That's what the score card read for UWP at the NAJA National Indoor Championships at the University of Nebraska. GLVC restrictions only allowed the Rangers to run in non-NCAA events, so UWP entered runners in just the 1000 and 3000 meter runs. Both events held semi-finals on Friday and the finals on Saturday. In the semis, Pam Tucker, Lisa Schaich, and Ann Kelley all advanced to final. Freshman Laura Peterson failed to advance, but had a great season and will compete in many more national meets. In the 3000 semis, Jill Branner and Wendy Licht advanced, while Missy Shumway came up a few seconds short despite running her best time ever by five seconds. 'They did a great job of running smart and patiently in the semis to set themselves up for great races in the finals," Coach Mike De Win said. In the 1000 final, Tucker smashed the school record by nearly two seconds to finish a fourth place All-American in 2,57.29. Tucker had never broken three minutes in the 1000, yet she broke it twice in this meet. She was only two seconds off the winner in a tightly contested race. Super Soph Ann Kelley grabbed the sixth and final All-American slot in 3:01.87, edg- Pam Thcker ing seventh place by one second. Lisa Schaich finished eighth in 3:03.79. Wendy Licht had the highest finish of the day for the Rangers, placing third in the 3000 final in 10:07.81. Licht slowly moved through the field and finished strong with her last 1000 meters being the fastest. Freshman Jill Branner finished ninth (10:24.70). "It wasn't any great coaching genius on my part. Their performances are a credit to their desire and drive to race strong," Coach De Witt said. The prestigious NCAA IInationals are next week. Tucker and Licht are on the provisionallist and will find out this week if their times are accepted. But for now they can enjoy their NAJA All-American plaques. .
