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.

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.

"We got three-fou rt hs," said Streeter, referring to the amount of by Karen Diehl and Nick Zahn Ranger Staff Eleanor Smith was inaugurated as fourth chancellor at UW-Parkside on Saturday, April I. The ceremony took place in the Comm. Arts Theater. At the ceremony, Smith was presented with a sterling silver medallion. The medallion, a symbol of the office she was taking, was presented to her by Katherine Lyall, president of (he UW System. The ceremony not only presented Uw-Parkside with a new chancellor. but also a new alma mater. The music to the song was composed by Dr. Frank Mueller, professor of music, while the words were written by Patrick McGuire, English professor. The university had no alms mater before this. "The alma mater's words and music are absolutely appropriate see Chancellor, page 2 Chancellor Smith greets a line of well-wishers Saturday at her inauguration.

Diane Welsh, assistant director of student life stated that the committee was "pretty diverse ...and could not come La a specific consensus aboutwhat should be done." "On one side of the issue someone representing athletics and the athletic board whose primary interest is in "cruitrnent.i.ano then on the other side there's the chairperson of the segregated fee allocation committee and myself as an advisor to the committee, whose primary focus is on the equity of the issue," Welsh said. Welsh described some of the feedback received at the public forums, "What we did hear from the StUdent athletes was that financial Package alone isn't usually the only factor in deciding where to go to SChool. It's also the reputation of the athletic team, the coach, the academic programs offered hear" .." There was also the suggestion that, "perhaps there would be a possibility of offering some waivers ...if it really is important for recruitment maybe we will pay for 25, or 30, or 40 waivers to recruit star athletes and divide it by gender." The good athletes could still have their tuition wavered, but would have to pay their own fees. "When you pay tuition you really pay a third of the cost of your instruction, the state is paying two- thirds ... so if you're an athlete we wouldn't get your third, but we still get the two-thirds. For segregated fees we don't get any, which means our costs are still the same," however, the other students pay the student athlete's portion of the fees, according to Welsh. If the segregated fees policy is changed the committee did agree that they wouldn't change the rules for students who had already been recruited under the current policy. "If we charge athletes student fees ...it could decrease your student fees by about twenty dollars a year, or, without an increase, it could add about $60,000 into that pool," Welsh said. Chancellorls House no more Now to be University House Rumors. "You heard, [but] you didn't come to me," said Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith. Rumors about closing the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) have been persistent, and they have inspired a rally, a meeting, and a whole lot of ribbons. OMSA may suffer reorganization as a result of the budget cuts, which have yet to be announced. A BnRC (Budget and Review Committee) proposal dated February 28, stated, "Office of Multicultural Student Affairs: It appears as jf a number of functions previously performed by this office have been to other areas i.e. advising and pre- college program. Staffing efficiencies may be realizable by combining functions." A. Anthony Flores, member of PSGA and HOP (Hispanic Organization at Parkside) saw a copy of a draft proposal to this effect.

It will be separate from the current dorms, but still serve as vital space for potential new students. This proposal was the foundation, the core, for the other two proposals. Without the Building Commission's approval of the dorm expansion, the outlook would be grim, but this fear has subsided {Q a point. "The Building Commission was a big hurdle," said Streeter, but even though the proposal will now go before the General Assembly and the Senate of Wisconsin, he said that "we're very confident at this point." The Building Commission consisted of Governor Thompson. a citizen member by the name of Bryce Styza, serving as the citizen's watchdog. appointed by Thompson. and six senators and representatives from Wisconsin, also appointed by Thompson; Sen. Brian Rude, chair of The Higher Education subcommittee. Rep. Sheryl Albers, from the subcommittee, Sen. Fred Risser. from the Administrative Affairs Committee, Sen. Carol Buettner, from the same committee, and Rep. Carl Due, from the same committee too. "Considering the tightness of the governor's budget, the University fared well in the Building Commission's deliberation," quoted Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith from a press release. "Additional student housing is critical to the growth of the University .... Area legislators, alumni, and community support were instrumental in influencing the commission." An architect for the new resident halls will be pursued immediately. Streeter wanted to assign an architect for this project last fall, but The Department of Administration (DOA) wanted to wait and find out what the Building Commission's decision was first. When the design phase is finished, the project will be reviewed and given final authorization. Even though the dorm expansion 'is targeted for completion by 'he FalJ of 1997, Senator Kohl donates gift for UW- Madison arena Senator Herb Kohl gave $25 million to the construction of UW-Madison's new basketball sports arena. The donation is the largest gift ever received by the UW System. Kohl's gift, according to UW officials, is vital to the building of the new arena, which will cost $72 million to complete. $27 million dollars was approved for the arena earlier in the week by the building commission. The remaining $20 million will need to be raised. The arena will be used mainly for basketball, but will also accommodate other sports events such as ice hockey. Kohl mentioned that he hoped the arena would assist the basketball program, especially in recruiting. Kohl, who attended Uw-Madtson in the 1950's is the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team, and is among the wealthiest of the US senators. Chancellor, continued from page 1 of UW-Parkside since May of 1994. She had been vice president for academic affairs at William Paterson College of New Jersey. Smith replaced Sheila Kaplan who left in 1993. John Stockwell served as the interim chancellor from 1993-1994. Asked why the inauguration took place a little less than a year after she became chancellor, Smith explained that she didn't want to have the ceremony in October of last year as planned. She wanted to know the campus better. cheapest, classiest one that l've ever seen." And this wasn't just a social event, said Smith. "Keeping our mission in mind; Bringing Racine and Kenosha communities to Parkside and Parkside to the Racine and Kenosha communities. " The official ceremony followed the Friday night performance of "Black Heritage: History I Music and Dance," a multi-media performance which Smith created as part of her work towards her doctorate. Smith became has been chancellor for our institution and location," said Smith With budget cuts threatening many areas at the university level, it was voiced by some that $17,000 was too much to pay for an inauguration. "I could hire a couple of people on what what they are spending on this," said one administrator. "I've seen people pay hundreds of thousands for inaugurations," said ~mith. "$\7,000 for that is nothing. Many bring in guest speakers and last Sunday through Monday. We kept it as simple as possible. This was the OMSA, continued from page 1 you. At Johnson Wax, for instance, there is no circle just for women, just for African Americans, just for Hispanics, just for Asian Americans. There is one circle: the Johnson Wax circle .... Eventually, we want to make [this university} one big circle that is a teaching and learning environment." Smith also told the group of the budget-cutting process. "To date, the Administrative Council has not decided," she said. "We just got a figure to deal with." "When we cut the budget, we may not keep it [OMSA} as it is," said Smith. The Administrative Council is composed of Smith, Marilyn Foster Kirk, William Streeter, Gary Grace and Howard Cohen. The council must complete the budget process by April 15. When it does, Smith reassured those assembled that they would not hear about il through channels or rumor. "I will inform you ... about our recommendations." Objections will not be accepted then, but a chance to do so will be allowed at open meetings to discuss the budget. and "it's not in our hands [yet}," as he said, he still feels that positive answers are in store for the future of Parkside. The Phy Ed. expansion's proposal got half of what it wanted - providing nearly half of the original $9.1 million proposal, The project will require $3.8 million in general state- funded borrowing and $670,000 from non-Slate sources. The $4.465 million project does not include a new field house, wrestling combau ves , and more storage space, but it does offer renovations and some new constructions. Among these renovations will be completely remodeled locker rooms that will be bigger and better - accommodated for the new field house when it is eventually built. A co-ed training room will be outside of the men's and women's locker rooms and a whirlpool. A full-size weight room, a dance studio/aerobic fitness room, and three new classrooms will be built as part of some of the new constructions, as well as a new mechanical room for monitoring heating and air conditioning units. This first phase of an overall project will be built to accommodate a hopeful Phase II construction of a field house in the future. Because "phase one doesn't sol ve all the instructional needs or the high demand for open space that a field house can provide," a press release quoted Linda Draft, Director of Athletics, saying, she does "plan to pursue funding for the field house vigorously in the next biennium." According to Streeter, everythirig anticipated for the three phases of food service on this campus ~ the remodeling of the Union Dinning Room servery, the Union Square bar area, and the food court in Lower Main Place - will occur. Plans are in motion. When asked if the construction for each project would be done all together or in stages, Streeter said that "we hope to have it done in cinch . We're going to shoot for the Fall of 1997," said Streeter, admitting that it is an ambitious deadline. "We're going to work hard." With an additional 400 students on campus, there will be a need for more lockers and space in the Phy Ed. building and a need for bigger and better accommodations of food service. "It's very exciting for the University," said Streeter, then informed me that in Parkside's 26 years, there has not been construction of this, or any magnitude, in twenty years - after the Union building was completed.

This observation was sparked by a question of the relativism between the hopeful by Kara Pacetti On Friday, March 24, at I 1:00am the Parks ide Student Government Association election committee heard contestations to the recent student elections held on March 8th and 9th. The decision about rerunning the elections was finalized Monday, March 27, when PSGA justices decided that only senate Elections would be re-run. Tommy Richie was elected President and Arian Rana Adair-Nichols Vice-President. Those results will stand, said the justices. Reasons for the contestations consisted of irregularities such as several candidates campaigning before others, three election packets being turned in past the deadline, one signature list was two names too short of the fifty needed. a sitting election committee member endorsing a candidate, and a Vice Presidential candidate campaigning too soon. The contestation was held in hopes of running a whole new election. Senator Tom Belongia said that "We, and Equipment Reserve, which the University creates each year for such by Brian Matsen situations. Will Parkside get its food court?

PSGA student elections contested (the election committee), failed to follow our own rules. There were legitimate rules that were broken and these were direct mistakes that affect people." Carol Tebben, chair of the Political Science department argued that" In life mistakes are made all of the time. There are mistakes in every election. Running a new election is a serious and extreme remedy. There are going to be just as many problems (and contestations) if a second election is run. There is a difference between harmless error and prejudicial error." A motion to rerun the entire election was voted on and a 3·1-0 vote was passed in favor of rerunning the entire election. At the PSGA meeting held later that day two Judicial branch members, Jason Beyer and Matt Stephan, were motioned to vote on the election committee's decision. They could not agree, and the question was determined by the third justice, John Lovell, who was not present. ,Provost search narrows Seven candidates invited to campus for interviews I A d h th T h d i t im provost/vice chancellor include East-West interactions during multiculrural society.

Cohen was ean 0 . e which deal with the United States as a School of Liberal Arts before belOg His teaching and research -interests Dining Service Hours Altered In order to counter the effects of substantially reduced sales that are being experienced this semester by University Dining Services (through its contract operator Professional Food Management), PFM has decided it became necessary to scale back operating hOUfS for the remainder of the school year. The three year trend of lower spring semester enrollments is one of the key elements forcing this action. PFM presented uni ver sity administrators sales figures from a one month study (February) showing the impact on each of its four operating units. A further breakdown of sales on a typical day by 15 minute blocks of time in each of the units illustrated which of the time periods were actually serving customers and producing sales versus which ones were unproductive. This is what was used to develop the new scaled back hours; the idea to keep the hours where there were customers and a true service was being provided, and eliminating those where sales figures would indicate the service factor was minimal. In addition to this being reviewed by University administration, the information was also presented to two forms of students associated with Residence Life for their reaction and suggestions. Based on student comments, some minor changes were suggested to the original proposal to better accommodate student needs. According to Bill Niebuhr, Director of the Parkside Union and contract administrator for the dining service area. this is the first semester that Residence Life dining sales via their board plans actually surpass in dollar participation that of the rest of the campus. It had previously been a 50/50 split. Some operating hours have not changed much, with hours only differing by 15 to 30 minutes, The areas of biggest change include: the closing of G.R. Deli's Sandwich Shop daily at 4:30 pm, (but making its line of products available upstairs in the Union Dining Room during the supper hour), closing the Wyllie Hall Coffee shoppe at 4 pm daily, and closing Pan D's Pizza & Grill in Union Square mid-afternoon between peak meal hours. Dining Service Director Paul Watkins points out that "many of these changes are temporary for the next seven weeks. We're hoping to restore most of them back to where they were when we reopen next fall." Shifts in customer participation causing the company to be losing significant amounts of money just in order to stay open have prompted the changes. According to Niebuhr, "sales are down by as much as $10,000 dollars a month compared to first semester. The only place to come up with significant savings unfortunately involves people." According to Watkins, "Food costs are a constant regardless of numbers served. And they have been where they should be, We have done some cutting within our own office, first going down to half time and now completely eliminating our bookkeeper position. Plus, we have reduced student manager hours. The rest of the needed hours savings had to come from our hourly workers, forcing us to go to the University with an adjusted schedule. It's something we really didn't want to do. But we had no other choice." Students also spoke about the changes, ''There aren't many choices for us the way it is. Where are we supposed to go now?" said Melissa Hackbarth, a sophomore living on campus. Christina Jellis, a member of the Women's Basketball Team and housing resident said, ''The new hours really conflict with my schedule. Sometimes I have practice from 6 to 9 [pm], which means I don't get home until 9:30110:00. Some athletes have practice until midnight. Where are we supposed to eat that late? I really can't eat that soon before I leave ~ not unless I want to puke in practice." One of the Food service workers said, "I'm looking for a new job. It's bad management." Another said, "We have a lot of upset workers here. They cut our hours drastically," submitted. 3/13/95 Inc 95-185 Fraudulent Driver's License, Housing Office (9: II am) ~ A fraudulent driver's license of a Student was found and turned in to the housing office.

Signs stating Dorms, continued from page 1 Grace of Student Affairs, were in Madison before the Building Commission, The proposed donn expansion is among one of the subjects that could alter the course of Parkside, and its surrounding population ... I think it will be very beneficial to the campus," said Possehl. The dorm expansion proposal is asking for bonding authority - in other words, requesting a loan from the state. This pursued loan is, according to Possehl, approximately nine million dollars. This amount would be paid back in a number of ways. Parks ide would be able (0 pay the loan back by the revenue of soccer and church camps, conference programs, and "a variety of other [programs]" throughout the summer, she noted, but the most revenue generated by the University that would go towards the payment of the loan, would be "funded by students," as she pointed out. "We would try to keep rent in line," she said. The cost of residence in the dorms should not rise, because the University would take slightly over 50% of the total revenue that dorm residence would generate and use that, too, as a steady form of payment. They would be simply shifting the donn budget to gear over half of its money towards this program, "It's a major portion," she explained, but it would prove to be beneficial for the University's future. "I'm very hopeful," she said. "Nothing but a positive impact [would occur] on this campus. With a 400-studem increase on this campus, activities, clubs, and social involvement would excel. Also, the dorm expansion would serve as a needed prayer for the proposed food court and proposed expansion of the Phy Ed. building. When asked about the deceased Tuition Award Program (TAP), allowing Parkside to recruit 200 students from northern Illinois at in-state tuition rates, Possehl said that its elimination would not have any significant effects on the Building Commission's decision. She noted that people from Illinois who go to Parkside need housing too. She mentioned in closing that the vacant Chancellor's house will be turned into The University House - a leadership house for next year. the remodeling and relocating costs of their move as an incentive of having their contract extended by two more years. Extensions of contracts will be by two to four years. ''This [idea] has been in existence for over a year," said Niebuhr - explaining that a year ago, students, faculty, and staff were surveyed about a proposed food court. "All of Lower Main Place will be redone." There will be new furniture, and carpeting, as some of the many changes that will occur. However, if the Building Commission says "no" to donn expansion, the concept of a food court may be in jeopardy. Backtracking to Step three, redeveloping a part of the Union Square, and toning down the anticipation of the food court, Niebuhr said this step would close down the Union's bar. "Alcohol sales have dwindled," he said. The Union bar is not in a break-even situation. The reason why the redevelopment of the Union bar is in Parkside's four-step plan, is because another food service concept, attracting national food franchises, could be initialized through the Union. With a food court in Wyllie Hall and food services in the Union Square, Parkside would look attractive on both sides. "We need [a] balance ... Something to balance the population of the Union to the new food court," he said. All steps in the four-step conceptualization are hopeful goals for the future, with the exception of the Union Dining Room. However, Niebuhr said, "The most critical thing [is} whether or not the Building Commission approves of tbe [dorm] expansion." Food Court, continued from page 1 his vehicle removed from the cross country course train. Citation issued and report submitted. headlights. Warning issued for headlights and citation issued for seatbelt violation. Report submitted. PASA offices, to house a food court - similar but on a much smaller scale to those at Southridge, Northridge, and Gurnee Mills. These student organizations will be relocated relatively in the same area, Wyllie Hall, in new and larger offices yet to be constructed. During the entire conversation, Niebuhr reinforced the fact that the proposed food court, which constitutes step four, is just that - a proposal, "It doesn't mean it will happen," he said. 'The most critical thing [is] whether or not the Building Commission approves of the expansion." The pending expansion Niebuhr spoke of involves 400 student openings in the proposed new dorms. If Parkside's Food Court concepts become reality, it will be the first time in the history of the Uw-sysrem that a payment principle of extended food contracts, with potential food corporations, would be the form of payment for the remodeling and building costs of the overall project. "We're Dot going to raise student fees to accomplish this," said Niebuhr. If the proposal of a food court does occur, dining service contracts will be out to bid, starting at a first time-low bid, by the summer of 1996 and at least by the fall semester of 1996, the three organizations, The Ranger, PSGA, and PASA, will have to begin to move. Niebuhr hoped a "potential" finished product would be ready by September 1997. The key element of a successful bid, Niebuhr described, is a company that will invest their time and money into Parkside. Parkside is "asking them to put a substantial amount of money" down, he explained - several hundred dollars, in fact.

Access- getting out into the rural areas, allowing everyone to have that opportunity to participate in and enjoy the arts." Art. is, "8 statement of who we are as a people," says Amhaus, "It is a challenging time that we live in. [Art] is a mirror of what is occurring in our time, in our world." Amhaus states that 60 percent of Americans feel that there should be federal support of the arts. "This is simply a subsidy for the culturally elite," Amhaus states as one of the arguments used against federal support of the arts. "That was exactly what the NEA set out to eliminate," Amhaus says. but if the funding is withdrawn, "you will create a cultural elite." Amhaus said that one of their approaches is to move more funding to the states. He would also like to see the copyright laws changed. Currently, the estate owns the copyright after the death of an artist for 50 years. Amhaus hopes that legislation will be passed so that after the initial 50 years the proceeds from the next 20 years will be given to the NEA. Ultimately he hopes that the NEA moves off tax appropriations entirely, but states that for this to happen, "people have to get involved." By Pamela Bradshaw "Federal funding for the Arts?" was the subject of the March 22nd, Soup and Substance lecture, presented by Dean Amhaus, executive director of the Wisconsin Arts Board. "The general population really doesn't understand where the money is going or what is happening to it," Amhaus said, "It leverages an incredible amount of money. There are 1.3 million jobs because of the non-profit arts community," For every three dollars given in aid, twenty-one dollars is given back to the government, according to Amhaus. The aid, "brings back over three billion dollars in federal income taxes ... There should be increases because it spawns so much economic opportunity." To demonstrate the success of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Amhaus pointed out that when it was first founded in 1965 there were only 110 orchestras whereas now there are 230. Similarly, there were only 56 non- profit theaters and now there arc 425. Access to the arts is one of the main goals of the NEA. "Before the NEA, people would view the arts as something you had to go to Chicago, New York or Los Angeles Volunteer of the week By Pamela Bradshaw .. . The Intemauonal Religions Society is forming at Parkside with the purpose of discussing the different religions of the world. They are welcoming suggestions for future meetings, to have speakers on religions that people want to learnabout officers of the club are: Rebecca Findley, President; Angela Auxier, Vice President, Arian Adair~Nichols, Treasurer and Ray Lancour, Secretary. Information regarding the time and place of upcoming meetings will be posted around Parkside. The club's first meeting took place on March 20thwith Rebecca Findley discussing the Wiccan religion. "Wicca is the belief that there is one over.all being, but it is split into male and female energies." Wiccans have, "the God of hunting and the Goddess of fertility," according to Findley. "The yeargoes in a circle and the reign of the God and Goddess go in a circle. The God is born in the fall andhe reigns during the winter and in the springs hediesagain and the Goddess takes over." Wiccans celebrate eight holidays during the year that follow the seasonal changes: Yule, [mbolic, Spring Equinox, Beltane, Summer Solstice, Lammas, Autumn Equinox and Samhain. Wicca is, "a very natural religion on the fact that is follows the natural course of the year," says Findley. Addressing the myth that witches ride broomsticks, Findley explains that in the past Wiccans had, "a fertility rite, where in order to make the fields grow they would start a fire in the fieldbefore the harvest would start and they'd jump around the fire on broomsticks and rakes to indicate how high the fields should grow." A man in the audience, well educated in Wicca, who preferred to remain anonymous, spoke about Wicca and it's association with the devil. "Witches do not believe in the devil, he's not part oftheir religious mythology ... the concept of the devil is peculiar to Christianity and one of the Arabic predecessor religions." 'They [Christianity} took the Wiccan God and made him into a devil in order to get people to switch by saying that Wiccans were evil," Findley said. The Christians "had all the pagan temples 10m down and built Christian churches over them in the belief that people would go there to practice." "The main Wiccan tenet is, 'Do as you will and itharm none, so mote it be,"' Findley said, ''That's Whythere's no blood shed in Wiccan circles." The harming none also includes not harming yourself. Wiccans also believe, "if you go and do something good, the good will be returned threefold. If you go and do something bad it will be returned threefold." Wiccans don't have a single holy book. Findley explained that each witch has their own book, "It's , c~led a book of shadows, where we write down different rituals that we have, different spells, you canputjournal entries of how you practice." The bookis usually hand written but some put them on theircomputers. , .The man in the audience emphasized, "You ~ther find your way to the craft in your own good lime,or you don't. We don't ask for converts, we don't go out to recruit. When they find us, when they ask.the first question then and only then, are • • • eoathbound to help them." ,~ Mike Schaefer mans the ropes after Camelot Tuesday, March 21. See page 5 for a review.

Work of women in Africa-uw-p lecture series Kara thinks her volunteer experience has confirmed her future career goals. She stated, "After I graduate from UW·P, r plan to get my master's degree and pursue a career in Journalism. Reporting for the Ranger has given me a great opportunity to get this career moving in the right direction. Not only have I gained experience, but I have met some very nice people. My writing skills have improved dramatically and as a result, my grades have improved. I think it's very important for everyone to get involved in at least one activity. whether it be a sport, a club or as a volunteer. The experience you gain now can last a lifetime." "Kar a is one of our most dedicated writers," said Managing Editor Jim Hendrickson. "She has regularly reported on the many interesting proceedings of PSGA, but she has written other stories as well. Her work is of excellent quality and always on time. She is an excellent addition to our staff."

From the ones that won, ones who didn't get on the ballot due to procedural problems, and the ones that lost, everyone is mad. Jason Weniger, current PSGA Senator (and possible nominee for VP in a new election) says. 'How can we lead the students when we are lost ourselves?' Exactly, Jason. PSGA is so lost that many Issues, such as the tuition increase and the imminent loss of the OMSA office are ignored. And that is just plain wrong. Tyson Wilda, current PSGA Senator, puts it, '90% of the complaints are procedural, and therefore insignificant. However, the other 10% are vaJid--namely the fact that students don't know how to run for office--and unfortunately, that is something that PSGA has been guilty of for a long time.' Students need to know how to run, where to get the proper forms, and how to get on the ballot. Otherwise, PSGA cannot possibly be a representative student government. . Ami Orava, newly elected PSGA Senator, says, 'Everything else needs the attention that the election is getting.' That, unfortunately, is also true. PSGA never seems to get any attention other than negatively, because it seems that nothing good ever happens. That can't be the Observations Reevaluation? C. J. Nelson Ranger Columnist By writing this column, I open myself up to a significant amount of "I told you so" from a venerated family friend. James Schuldt and I grew up together. Jim became a loyal Democrat and union supporter. As those of you who read this column or who have had me in class know, I tend to maintain a Republican viewpoint. Jim has never been able to understand this. He never tires of reminding me of how much of my organized labor and Democratic party policies. So, to be fair (and I'm tired of listening to his assertions), 1 evaluated his claims, and found some of them to be legitimate. 1 used my family history to test his arguments. My grandfather Robert was a "poor dirt farmer from Illinois" (my father's words). My dad Clyde worked at American Motors from the middle 1930' s until his death in 1968. I have spent a significant amount of time in federal service, and in the recent times as a full time student here at Parkside. How have policies commonly associated with organized lahar and the Democratic party impacted my Grandfather, father, and myself? First off, the advent of farm subsidies helped my grandfather (on both sides of my family, as it turns out) keep and make their farms profitable. The enactment of Social Security was of financial help to both sets of my grandparents. In fact Social Security helped support my sister and I after our father's death (ages 15 and 14 respectfully), and my mother still receives her monthly Social Security entitlement. My sister (who is slightly handicapped) also receives supplemental Social Security assistance. Passage of Medicare and Medicaid programs have also assisted my mother and sister. Organized labor and the change of labor laws during the New Deal allowed our family to attain a very comfortable lifestyle through collective bargaining. It is true that this right was a hard-fought one, but once gained, it allowed for pension and health care benefits that have helped, and continue to help, my family. I have received numerous benefits from programs enacted by and supported by the Democratic party. I am can vinced that most of these programs would not have been passed by the Republican party (the programs are presently Republican targets). 1 receive veteran's benefits enacted under the G.!. Bill (first passed in 1944), including housing loan assistance, medical benefits (including a monthly disability payment), advance education benefits (which I used completely) and certain survivor's benefits. In addition, I have benefited from student loan and grant programs (one area where our current Chief Executive is to be praised) and unemployment compensation help. I have recently learned that 1 will qualify for some help under the Americans with Disabilities Act (I will have more to say about this in a future column). So we have a trip on my family tree from farmer to factory worker to future teacher or History Professor (or so I fervently hope). Intellectual honesty compels me to admit that my good friend James is right. Much of what I had, have and may yet have is courtesy of policies enacted and supported by the Democratic party. Yes, Jim, you are right and you did tell me so. Post Script: There is a saying that goes something like this. "Be careful what you wish for, it just may happen." The Republicans in charge have caused me to re-evaluate. Interested? Will talk about it in this column in the coming weeks. urkside C1ectinn oonti11LlES whole truth, because individual Senators, such as Teri Jacobson and Jeff Weniger, have done impressive things for Parkside. However, when an improper election overshadows things that MUST BE DONE, it is definitely time for concern. Tom Richie, president-elect, was upset about my last column. In it, I mentioned that he's been censured by the PSGA Senate because he's missed four meetings due to traveling to and from wrestling meets. That seems to be an acceptable reason for missing. He said that he wants to implement positive changes, and he wishes to Making Sense Out Of It All Have TV talk shows gone too far? •. On the next Sally by George Harris, Jr. Columnist Every weekday we see people on TV talk shows who have problems which ordinary people couldn't have imagined having on such a grand scale. The wild. the unusual, and the sensational are the domains of the TV talk shows. The more sensational the talk show is, the higher the ratings seem to climb. I must admit that occasionally I get sucked into Montel, Rikki and Jenny. I find myself yelling at the television at the various guests along with the studio audience. However, I feel that the sensationalism these talk shows promote has gotten out of hand. Jenny Jones show, the subject was about secret admirers - a harmless enough subject. Scott Amedure, 32, appeared on the program to disclose his affection for Jonathan Schmitz, 24. Schmitz, however, thought his admirer was going to be a woman because the producers told him that it could possibly be a woman. Quite naturally, Schmitz was embarrassed and humiliated when he found out that his secret admirer was a man. On the show it was reported that he played it off very well although he looked visibly stop the political infighting. He also wants to have our delegation act more professionally at DC meetings. If he retains the presidency in a new election, he needs to implement these ideas into an effective program. Why is it that everyone I've talked to at PSGA says it needs changes? Why is it that Jason Weniger's original solution to the election dilemma (namely, delay the election until the procedural difficulties were cleared up) wasn't followed? And why is it that PSGA can't seem to use its considerable talents to the student's best disturbed. When he got home from the show, he wanted to put the incident behind him. Then Schmitz found a flashing light and a sexually suggestive note from Amedure on his doorstep a couple of days later. This took him over the edge. The police allege that Schmitz then killed Amedure with two shots from a 12-gauge shotgun. To me, Schmitz's actions were not justified. He could have simply gone to Amedure and told him to his face to stop it. Instead now he faces first degree murder charges for being stupid. Are talk shows the blame for his actions? They are no more to blame than the bartender who didn't stop a Milwaukee man who got hurt doing flips in a crowded bar. After all, of the 12-gauge. All Jenny did was to provide the forum for the slain admirer to boldly profess his love on national TV. I don't think we should let the daytime talk shows get off so easily. These shows aren't exactly honest with their guests and audience. The pundits on Night/ine and other talking head shows likened these talk shows to professional wrestling. The reason being, no intelligent person in their right mind would watch either one. My reason Letters to the Editor advantage? It's time to re-run the elections. Make sure that everything is done well this time! Make sure that every student on campus is informed how to run, where to get the forms, and how to get on the ballot! Then, run a fair campaign, free of mudslinging and other insults. Then, and only then, will the election be truly representative of Parks ide. And then, PSGA MUST oppnse the tuition increase, the OMSA closing, and any other student concern. for why they are similar is that no one wants to admit that they watch but, the ratings are still high. I think that daytime talk shows are worst when they deceive the audience, mainly because you are expecting real people with real problems. Sometimes people out and out lie to get on a talk show or, the producers will decei ve the guests to build up the drama. Not all talk shows do this, but it hard to tell anymore who isn't. At least you know pro wrestling is fake, unless someone didn't tell you (in that case I am sorry to burst your bubble). I wouldn't go as far as most pundits to say that these shows foster hate. In fact the hosts go out of their way to be excessively tolerant to their guests. tragedy been avoided? I don't believe so. There was no way of knowing that one of the guests would end up dead. We always think (quite wrongly, J think) that all people have good sense. Will the talk show industry clean up its act? Not as long as the outrageous still sells. Talk shows are here to stay because, like pro wrestling, it is good entertainment. If you don't want to watch, I suggest that you tum off the TV and read a newspaper, a magazine or a good book. repair anything unless we acknowledge pur errors? In short- have we ever apologized for our actions? We might go a long way toward dialogue and mutual understanding were we to make a collective formal apology to any group that we have failed to treat with respect and compassion. The simplest act of regret, an apology- with a promise to do better- has not been offered. This nation owes the African-American community a formal apology for our treatment. Each of us must bear the collective responsibility of the wrongs of our past and our present. We are unable to change what has come before, but we are able to lay down our sorrow for the ignorance of our ancestors, as well as for aUf continued ignorance today. "I'm so sorry," spoken with depth and sincerity, could work great healing on this nation's wounds. Letter to the Editor: To the Editor, I think it's great that UW-Parkside is C.J.

Designers used their dazzling mastery to produce costumes that were utterly amazing. The costumes effectively depicted the carefree attitude of most of the characters. Design and use of all of the sets in the play was very practical. The interchangeable parts allowed for quick scene changes and minimal distraction from the plot. Whoever designed the sets did a very good job of putting together a neutral setting, that could be used for just about all of the scenes. Camelot is a profound, humorous, and witty play about one of literature's most intense saga's. Invigorating charm and humor flows through this play in large amounts.

Lerner and Loewe's play about the King Arthur Saga is nothing even remotely close to any "Masterpiece Theatre" Even I, (the non-biased, objective reviewer) went into the theatre thinking that I could use .the nap. Jeez, was I.ever wrong! From beginning to end "Camelot" was full of Wltt~ sarcasm, and fun, ear catching music. King Arthur, played by James Warwick was an exciting, playful, and intense man: Mr. Warwick has an excellent voice and portrayed all the complexities of a young, and confused king quite well. The charming number "How to Handle a Woman" was very enjoyable and surprisingly right. . Nymph-like, f1itty, and yet very blood thirsty Guenevere (Constance Curtis) was an excellent counter to Lancelot (Daniel Narducci) and Arthur's (Warwick) emotional Intensity.

I can't go through a critique of the band without mentioning the wide range and powerful voice of Paulo Bettencourt. The vocals on this album are nothing less than exceptional. A ballad entitled "I Miss My Baby" shows off only an ounce of the range of Paulo Bettencourt's smooth, but powerful voice. In combining great writing and harmonious choruses, Flesh keeps every song playing over in your head. Don't let the name Flesh mislead you. This band is more than your average Hollywood or Seattle flavor of the month. With their hard rock funk grooves, explosive guitar sound, and harmonious vocals. they are sure to bring back some of the energy that seems to be lacking in today's music scene. (Be sure to catch Flesh live on March 31st at the RAVE in Milwaukee when they open for Extrerne.) well, I believe the same goes for an album. This album doesn't contain the mono-tone drawl that seems to be popular now. Flesh has an album based on the sounds of funky, energetic hard rock. Immediately after popping this album in, you'll notice the unbelievable. blistering. in- your-face guitar style of Markus. "Dancehard," the opening track, as a rip roaring guitar rhythm, backed by a funked-up rhythm section that will get you on the dance floor. "Who Can Love You" is another great example of how Flesh can take a hard rock rhythm and funk it up. "Who Can Love You" is a song that highlights their great talent in song writing. This song is charged with a heavy bass rhythm and raunchy guitar, that provides more grooves than an old record. The chorus, as in many of their songs, is basically addictive. It's a definite plus to see that they can write past the introduction of a song. "Think Too Much" is a very noticeable stand-out on the album. They've taken a groove that is incredibly fast and made a great song out of it. Even though By: Robby Thompson Okay, get ready to take a deep breath and relax! This is a grunge-free zone. Pack your bags and move away from the west coast at least for an hour, and check out some sounds coming in from the east coast. I'm talking about the Boston based band called Flesh. For all the fans of Extreme who know the guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, you may be pleased to find that he produced Flesh's first album on the Colorblind record label. The Colorblind label, a brand new label, is a product of Nuno Bettencourt. Hold on, there's even more coincidence. The lead singer of Flesh, Paulo Bettencourt. just happens to be Nuno's brother. So, if you think this band sounds just a little bit like Extreme, you're right. But believe me, that's a good thing! I can basically say that when first listening to Flesh's new album I was very relieved. I was overjoyed to find an album that is overflowing with raw, hard rocking energy.

"[Students receiving awards] have to be upper class students," Kirk said. She noted that the University did not get a cut in its budget: it was merely turned down for its 1995-97 TAP biennium, Kirk also expressed concern in Thompson's decision to leave TAP out. Using 1995-96 projections, without the TAP program, the University would experience a cut of 1.15% in its rev-enue or an additional $700,000, from cuts already made, in the 1995-97 budget. In a memo from Kirk, she wrote that "we anticipate $269,075 from tuition payments from TAP students in '95-96; $51,261 from segregated fees; and $14,000 in parking fees." She continually noted that TAPis not a reciprocity program and does not place a restraint on Wisconsin students who would want to attend the University. The TAP program would only make available revenue that would not be otherwise. Because Parkside is primarily a commuter institution, it has limits on recruitment markets by how far students are Willing to drive. This recruitment area is bound by its location with Lake Michigan to the east and Illinois the south. Kirk Marilyn Foster Kirk, Assistant Chancellor of University Relations, expressed concern for Governor Thompson's budget released February 14. In Thompson's budget, the re- authorization of the Tuition Award Program (TAP), allowing Parkside to recruit 200 students from northern Illinois at in-state tuition rates, was absent. "It's an extremely important program:' Kirk said. TAP was first introduced in the 1988-89 academic year and has been expressed concern over whether Wisconsin students could fill the enrollment gap created by the loss of TAP students. Also, with a limited 403 oncampus housing spaces and with 98- 99% occupan c rates in housing near the campus, out-of-area .Kirk students Irom other regions of Wisconsin would not have a place near the campus to stay during their enrollment. All members of the southeastern legislative delegation support an amendment to the governor's budget to re-authorize Representative Cloyd Porter, a member of the Joint Finance Committee, has agreed to support TAP in his committee. Senator George Petak has also pledged to help Parkside as much as he can. "We're doing everything we can," said Kirk. For additional information, call the Office of University Relations at 595-2431.

The Women's History Month theme is "We'll Make Herstory." The focus of Larson's talk was not reserved for women only. This talk. which turned out to be an open discussion, applied to everybody. Larson's purpose was, and still is, to help people learn how to increase the value upon themselves, and increase their ability to be a "shaker and a maker." Most of the audience left that room with a smile and probably felt a little better that day than usual. Besides handing out a series of helpful leaflets, she wrote on the chalkboard a cycle that everyone seems to follow. She recognized that it's not our fault for willfully traveling this negative cycle. We were taught to follow this cycle ever since we were little. "We were taught to be perfect," she said. The scenario that if you didn't get all A's in school, you could have done berter, is an example. The cycle is composed of four sections; "You don't like yourself:' "You don't take car~ of yourself," "You choose negative behaviors," and "You engage in negative thinking." The cycle continues and the person is on a oneway ticket to self-sabotaging his or her future goals and dreams. Larson warned the audience about following this cycle. People should like themselves. "You're valuable just because you're you," she said. Instead of not caring for yourself - do. Treat yourself out to a movie or out to lunch at a good restaurant.

She said that with "the size of the campus, we should be able to give more ·[blood]." by Brian Matsen On March I, Student Health Services, under the direction of Sandra Riese, director of Health & Counseling Services, sponsored this year's Spring blood drive in Union 104-106. Unfortunately, "compared to last year, we had less [blood]," said Riese. This year the blood drive accumulated 68 pints, compared to last years 72- pint total. Flus and colds could have had some impact on this year's decline, noted Riese. After a conversation about AIDS, she said that the unfounded concern of getting AIDS by giving blood might have been a possibility too. "I don't think it's the biggest fear," she said. "You're The committee will look at issues including economics, education, outlook on the future and role of government in the context of the much-talked-about generation. "If you look at government in the United States, you see committees that cover topics from children to aging," said Rep. Tim Hoven (R-Port Washington) also a co-chair of the committee. "The 18-30 generation often feels left out of the public dialogue, yet they have the greatest stake in what will be happening 10 and 20 years down the road. this committee hopes to give them the voice they need (0 communicate their concerns and views for the future. Members of the Wisconsin Assembly traveled across the state Monday to announce the creation of a legislative committee to take up the issues of today's young adults. The "Generation NEXT' committee is the first of its kind in the nation and will examine the concerns and issues facing 18-30 year-aids and issue a report of its findings as well as recommendations for legislative action. "Wisconsin is on the cutting edge," said Assembly Speaker David Prosser (R-Appleton). "In the first few months of the new Republican majority, we've passed monumental legislation with our eyes trained on a brighter future. With this committee, we're focusing on the most important part of our future- the people who will live it." Rep. Mike Huebsch (R-Onalaska), 30, said this committee, which he will co-chair, will gather information through d.ialogue with the members of the generation. "As a member of this generation, I know how much hype and misconception surrounds it," Huebsch said. "With this committee, we will find out the facts about the group that has been labeled 'Generation X' by others and offer our generation an opportunity to finally define itself in its own words."

Added Lyall, "I know the entire university community, past and present, joins with me in extending our deepest sympathies to John's wife, Roberta, and the Weaver family." UW -Madison Chancellor David Ward praised Weaver, a fellow geographer, saying that: "The value of his leadership during the first years of the UW System cannot be overemphasized. His vision and common sense guided and shaped the new System as it evolved into one of the nation's finest institutions of higher learning. Dr. John Carrier Weaver, the first president of the University of Wisconsin System and the 15th president of the University of Wisconsin, died in his sleep at 2 am March 10 at his home in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He was 79. . Weaver became president of the University of Wisconsin on January I, 1971, succeeding Dr. Fred Harvey Harrington. Later that year, Weaver led the UW campuses into the merger with the Wisconsin State Universities System, a merger that created the existing UW System. Weaver served as president of the UW System until 1977, when he became a visiting distinguished professor of geography at the University of Southern California (1977-85). He later served as the first executive director of USC's Annenberg Center for Study of the American Experience (1978-81). He was succeeded as president of the UW System by Dr. Edwin Young. UW System President Katharine LyaIl announced Wea ver' s death the same day at the regular meeting of the Board of Regents.

So said Zimmeri Cox at the African-American Career Fair which UW.parkside hosted on March 16. 300 area high school students attended theevent. The purpose of the fair was 10 promote awareness among African- American students about career choices, and education as a primary road to success. Cox came from poverty to become a respected art history professor. He gradUaled from high school in 1939 during the Great Depression. "We werepoor before that though," said Cox. "I remember going to bed hungry." Education advanced him. As a Fulbright scholar, Cox went to Europe to study architecture and an history. "I got my job because I had theeducation and training:' said Cox. RickJones, a Racine-based lawyer, spoke to a small group about his Success. "~e hardest part was having no money in your pocket and seeing other people with fancy cars and ~lothes. They'd get up at noon, do a h~le business, and come play ball WIth you at 6."

Students currently enrolled in University of Wisconsin-Parkside (college or university) should contact Lillian Trager, the Fulbright Program Adviser on campus, located in GR202 or GR335 for brochures, application forms and further information.

Applications will be reviewed on campus prior to being forwarded to TIE for the October 23, 1995, deadline. station, he says he advanced more quickly than he would have at WTMJ or WISN. "For Gobs in] technical or editing, I recommend going to a twoyear instead of a four-year school, like MATe. It gives the hands-on experience; 4-years give more of the theory. If you want to be a station manager or work for an ABC or NBC affiliate, then you should get your 4- year degree." There were also student panel discussions with students from Carthage, Gateway and UW-Parkside. One Carthage student said there should be more African-Americans going to school. 411 don't see enough of you there," he said. According to Carthage official Carly Drummer, there are currently 78 full time and 13 part time African- American students enrolled at Carthage College. OW Parkside has 250 African- American students out of a total population of 4403. "Keep going until you have it. Once you have it, improve .upon it:' Women, continued womanwho has children." According to Moore, some say that the way to lower taxesis to cut benefits. She finds that a specious argument because"every penny of AFDC [benefits] goes back into the local economy." Moore says when people talk about "welfarequeens," they only make a bad situation worse. Womenon welfare are not climbing out of poverty, she said."The thought that drags women back to poverty is, 'Whyshould I work when others get paid to stay at home?" Andgenerating more minimum wage jobs will not better poorwomen's position. "$4.25 an hour is not a Slart! Half wouldhave to go to childcare," stated Moore. The only wayto improve anything is action. "You gotta get mad!" Mooreexclaimed. "You have to say 'I'm opposed to this!'" Four focus groups offered courses of action to women at the poverty level. One group offered assistance in designingspending plans on a limited income. Another discussedthe impact of the "Contract with America." A thirdgroup shared its experiences in starting over. A fourth lookedat the many different faces of Wisconsin women in poverty. Tedi Winnett offered advice on planning finances on a limited income. "I'm not going to pretend there are any easy answers," said Winnett. "It doesn't matter how much you have, it's how you manage it." For your spending plan, be organized, but keep it simple. "You have to know what you have and where it goes," she advised. Poverty struck Glynda Chapple hard. After her divorce, she had to go to the welfare assistance office. "I did the one thing I thought I'd never do." And she thought others were looking at her and thinking "'What's she doing there?'" But her children needed food, and a roof over their heads. "The lady [at the welfare assistance office] was very nice ... She told me it happens to a lot of women." Summing up her presentation, Chapple said, "I know what it is to have, and I know what it is to not have." An awards presentation ended the day. Six area women were awarded for their service to southeastern Wisconsin: Pauline Mitchell, Wendy Miller, Barb Pinkenstein, Corinne Owens, Jean Mandli, and Vanda Kindermann.

PSGA is one or our few outlets for constructive complaining. They CAN make a di fference. They must use their time and energy for opposing tuition increases and other student concerns. If they don't, they can't help us. Petty partisan bickering certainly DOESN'T help students. And helping students is their mission. kosher. (Adair-Nichols boyfriend was a member of the past election committee.) Adair-Nichols' biography was not printed in the 3/2195 Ranger with the others due to unknown circumstances. These issues necessitate a new election for VP. If you are unconcerned, remember that Jennifer Buchholz was elected to VP last year and succeeded to the presidency. It is important. All of the PSGA elections had the same basic problem: no one knew what was going on, and perhaps some folks who wanted to run never got the chance due to the packets being unavailable, I also am concerned about the level of dirty-dealing and backchat in the past election. Newt Gingrich, a master of the snide comment, has even publicly said, 'I personally do not intend to stay in a politics dominated by smearing and mudslinging-a politics which has all too often been characteristic of recent years in this country.' Mudslinging should have no place at Parkside. The people who engaged in this forgot that their primary mission is to help the students. As for positive notes, welt, Teri Jacobson did get the most votes for PSG A Senator. She was the most qualified person on the ballot (and by Barb Churchill Ranger Columnist Student elections. Are they a waste of time? The Parkside community seems to think that they are. The last batch might have been, because they probably will be invalidated. Several senators didn't get their election packets on time, and proper release forms weren't signed. There are possible problems with both the presidential and vice presidential elections. Tom Richie, presidential candidate, has had attendance problems throughout the past semester. Richie has been censured by PSGA for poor attendance, and has missed meetings at least four times according to records obtained in the PSGA office. Jennifer Buchholz, current PSGA president, is concerned. (However, she will not run against Richie if the elections are invalidated-) What kind of president will he be if he keeps missing meetings? The VP election also is problematical. According (0 outgoing PSGA Senator Deb Cutler, Adair- Nichols started campaigning before she should have. However, Wilda evidently made disparaging remarks about her boyfriend, which wasn't too Author's note: I recently contested this election.

" According to Moore, some say that the way to lower taxes is to cut benefits. She finds that a specious argument because "every penny of AFDC [benefits] goes back into the local economy ." Moore says when people talk about "welfare queens," they only make a bad situation worse. Women on welfare are not climbing out of poverty , she said. 'The thought that drags women back to poverty is, 'Why should l work when others get paid to stay at home?" And generating more mini mum wage jobs will not better poor women's position. "$4.25 an hour is not a start ! Half would have to go to childcare," s tated Moore. The only way to improve anything is ac ti on. ''You gott a get mad!" Moore exclaimed. "You have to say Tm opposed to this!' " Four focus group offered cour es of action to women at the poverty level. One group offered assistance in designing spending plans on a limited income. Another discussed the impact of the "Contract with America." A third group shared its experiences i n starting over. A fourth looked at the many different faces of Wisconsin women in poverty. Tedi Winnett offered advice on planning finances on a limited income. 'Tm not going to pretend there are any easy answers," said Winnett. "It doesn't matter how much you have, it's how you manage it." For your spending plan, be organized, but keep it simple. "You have to know what you have and where it goes," she advised . Poverty struck Glynda Chapple hard . After her divorce, she had to go to the welfare ass istance office. "1 did the one thing I thought I'd never do ." And she thought others were looking at her and thinking "'What's she doing there?"' But her children needed food , and a roof over their heads. "The lady [at the welfare assi stance office] was very nice .... She told me it happens to a lot of women." Summing up her presentation, Chapple said , "I know what it i to have, and I know what it i to not have." An awards presentation ended the day. Six area women were awarded for their service to southeastern Wiscon in: Pauline Mitchell , Wendy Miller, Barb Pinke n tein , Corinne Owens, Jean Mandli , and Vanda Kindermann . 3 The Nursing Center alternative by Pamela Brad haw "A more holistic approach to health care," i how pediatric nursepractitioner Vicky Talbert de cribes the nur ing center located in the Shalom Center. The Shalom ursing Center, opened in October 1992, is operated by the UW-Milwaukee/UW-Parkside Con ortial ursing Program. Federal funding from the Division of ursmg and a grant from the Area Health Education Center (AHEC), now located in Tallent Hall, help to upport the clinic. ur ing center employ regi tered nurses and nurse practi cioners to prm·ide basic health care service . The popularity of nursing centers a an alternative ource of basic health care is growing, according to a I 992 article in Modem Healthcare Magazine. Coo r dinator of the Con ortial Nursing Program, Joan Wilk , states that the federal funding require that "25 % of the nur ing student have ignificant expo ure to working in the community nursing center. provide that mult1-d1 ciphnary kind of experience o that we learn how we can all collaborate with each other, o that we use what we are best prepared for 10 erve the people," according to Wilk . Others participating in the multidi ciplinary effort include graduate nurses, medical student , medical residents and phy icians. The clinic provide health care to people who u e the service of the Shalom Center. On Tue day night a physician comes to ee case beyond the scope of nursing. However, Talbert tales that "65 percent of the problems can be managed by nur e practitioners and nur ing alone." The nursing center ee a variety of problems including hyperten ion, diabetes , urinary tract infections, ga trointe tinal problem and mental health problems . "We see a lot of people who are very socially isolated," Wilk said. Some of the ervice pro ided by the chnic are: adult health creening and exam , woman ' health care, infant and children' health care. teen "A lot of our tudent have had no health services and parent/child eJtperience with the homele s.

Letter to the Editor Dear Echtor, issues. Let's get real here! Do they understand us ? Do they under tand where we come from ?!? I have to question their decision on this big change. Where is their logic ? As a Peer Advisor for this office, 1 have seen the benefits to the student of UWParkside. I took this job not because of pay, but because I wanted to help the students. My reward will be to see them make it through school with me. One Liberal's Opinion Due to our Governor's budget cuts, our campus had to make bi g reductions. And naturally the first thing our top dogs would go for is minority programs! Meaning "Let's get rid of Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA)!" Already, other concerned students accompanied me to talk to Assistant Chancellor Gary Grace. He lated that Anthony Brown would be moving to the administrative offices reporting directly to the Chancellor, other OMSA staff would be dispersed lo other duties. Where does that leave the students of color on this campus? PSGA sent student repre sentation to the budget hearings. I ask what did they do? 'othmg! They did not represent us! As a PSGA senator, I asked to auend the meetings, but they had already picked their clique to go . ow the students that benefited from OMSA will have to seek help from people who have not walked in our shoes, nor people who understand the biases we feel. Yes, the rumor says that the decision makers here want the ~hole university to deal with minority I he;::: that Latinos, African, Asian, and Native Americans start to wake up on this campus! Do you students really care or not? We need OMSA to support programs and retention for students of color. I also dispute what will happen to OMSA · future empty offices? I can ee it now, taff from other offices will be fighting over thi empty quarters. These people no doubt don't care the minority students lose out as long as they get their space! If OMSA does get scratched out of our University then the offices should go to the organizer that it houses! After all they are major status, like PASA, Ranger, PSGA, SOC, which all have offices. .

The Parkside community seem to think that they are. The last batch might have been, because they probably will be invalidated. Several senators didn't get their election packet on time, and proper relea e forms weren't signed . There are pos ible problems with both the presidential and vice presidential elections. Tom Richie, presidential candidate , ha had attendance problem throughout the past semester. Richie has been censured by PSGA for poor attendance, and has mi sed meetings at least four times according to records obtained in the PSGA office. Jennifer Buchholz, current PSGA president, is concerned. (However, she will not run against Richie if the elections are invalidated.) What kind of president will he be if he keeps missing meeting ? The VP election also is problematical. According to outgoing PSGA Senator Deb Cutler, Adairichols started campaignmg before she should have . However, Wilda evidently made disparaging remarks about her boyfriend, which wasn't too ko~her. (Adair- ichol boyfriend was a member of the past elect ion committee.) Adair- ichols' biography was not printed in the /'U95 Ranger w i th the other due to unknown circumstances . The. e i ue nece itate a new elecaon for VP. If you are unconcerned. remember that Jennifer Buchholz was elected to VP last year and ucceeded to the presidency . It is important. All of the PSGA elections had th ame basic problem : no one new what w going on, and perhap som folks who v.anted to run never got the chance due to the packet being unavailable. I al o am concerned about the level of dirty-dealing and backchat in the past election. , ewt Gingrich, a master of the sni de comment, ha even publicly aid. ' I per onally do not intend to tay in a politics dominated by smearing and mud tinging-a politics which ha all too often been characteri tic of recent years in thi country.'

On All My Children, Gloria was still rocking her baby Anna (really just a pillow, but she makes do.) when her mother came in. Mama Helen Marsh is used to getting her word in, and so when Gloria wouldn't stop paying attention to the pillow, Helen snatched it away. Of course, like any mother of a pillow, Gloria had to kill anyone who would take away her baby. If it'5 her mother, well that's just too bad. The wages of sin are death, sayeth Mrs Chandler. Well, the two fought their way down the hall to the court hearing which was deciding whether or not Gloria was competent to stand trial. Helen showed herself to be a wicked one to the court, and Gloria was found to be insane. Adam, Gloria's husband, was quite glad that she was not going to be tried for his attempted murder. Also in Pine Valley, a touching scene of love and loss: Beside Natalie's grave, Trevor saw Laurel. They promised never to see each other again. As they were parting, Jack walked by. (I'm sure he just wanted to how Natalie was doing.) Inspired by their love, Jack told Laurel she was free to make a life with the fashion refugee. Laurel was so happy, she ran to the Dillon home to tell him the news. Jack drank himself to sleep. And Janet imagined Trevor, Laurel, Timmie, and Harold (the dog) down in the well. You remember the well- the. one Janet threw Natalie down in order to marry Trevor. Idon't quite know how she's going to trick them all in the well at the same time, but nuttiness is the mother of invention. Speaking of nutty, on One Life to Live, Todd got idea that his wife Blair might not really be pregnant. Just because she tricked her last rich husband that way, doesn't mean she is trying to trick this rich husband that way. I mean, she didn't know for sure that Todd was Victor's son until after they slept together. And I think the woman actually pregnant. I don't think this storyline can go any other way. Because everyone expects her to he, she's probably telling the truth this time. She had a good thing going with Cord, who is much richer than Todd. Why risk it if you're not pregnant? Ms. Daimler has always been too smart for that. Blair's aunt Dorian is still stuck in the secret room. VikilNikilJean hasn't returned, so she has no food or water. (Thank goodness she still looks fabulous). There is no air circulating. She has no one to talk to (because she didn't think to develop alternate personalities). The. room is getting smaller. Seriously, expect Dorian will soon figure way out of the room. She has already discovered some loose bricks. Expect her to run to the police to confess to killing Victor? Idon't either, but she might tell Clint what Viki/Niki/Jean did to her. Clint has always been very understanding and helpful when Viki struggled with MPD before. Why, he even got Niki to fall in love with him years ago. Since Clint and Viki are destined for one another, expect the recovery process will hasten their reunion. In Salem, Marlena is still hospitalized, and she has those weird glasses, which hide her preternaturally glowing eyes. Stefano's still makirrg a fool of himself about Marlena, and Celeste is not happy about it. .. The devil inside Marlena is probably happy so few of her family members are left in Salem: Roman is gone, Sami is on the run, and Carrie and Austin are searching for her. (Eric didn't even send a Christmas card, but what do you expect from a boy who never visits home?) Like starcrossed lovers, and Austin are distant to one another. She is upset because she found lipstick on his pillow; he is heartbroken because he slept with Sami unknowingly (Remember, she used drugs to make him her sex slave.) and cannot tell Carrie until Sarni releases him from his vow of silence. (Some people can keep their word.) As Brady and Reed look for Sami, Jennifer continues to for Clark, her mother's one-night-stand. This time, Jennifer remembers she has ajob, and her talk-show to put out an on Clark. All Salem be involved in the search. Jennifer could solve this problem a lot quicker, if sbe'djust look in her shower. Clark is there, underneath the Prell and Zest, in the form of her ex-husband Jack. o«; by Mike Schaefer Howdy. I'm ... back. For those of you who don't recognize the byline, I occasionally wrote for the Ranger last year. This year, even with Nick Zahn's begging and pleading, I had decided Ijust didn't have the time. However, after writing a nasty letter to the editor and seeing it in print two weeks ago Iremembered how much fun this is. So ... J'm back. Those of you who knew me personally last year will probably remember that Ispent a lot of time talking about my future with the U of M at Minneapolis, and I know that some of you who have seen me hallprowling here at UWP but haven't had a chance to talk to me have been curious as to what happened (not losing any sleep over it.J should think, hut just wondering). To he honest, I'm not sure myself "what" happened, but Ican write about some of the events that occurred and let you figure it out for your collective selves. Oh, and for those of you who have no idea who I am (I'm nobody, really, just some guy with a keyboard) 1 hope that even without the background information behind my character, you'll still find the following somewhat entertaining and, maybe, even inspiring.

Incidentally, he was a freshman when Elvis was a senior and was in the last class to graduate from Elvis' high school. Also incidentally, he attended many of Elvis' parties (pretty much everyone was invited, Elvis was sooo cool) and the only words The King ever told him were,"Man, you talk too much." Oh, in case you haven't guessed.

Senator Nelson 5 RTs Reol co Review: A Blast From the Past Jit\i H~N~Ri)( by Robby Thompson This week my intentions are to bring something new, but old, into my review. Every so often I will review a 'blast from the past." This means I will review a classic album that is not only great, but one that everyone should have in their collection. Today, with the age of CD's, almost all of the classic albums have been put on CD. Even more recently. the music is being remastered on CD, thus providing even a better sound quality. One such album is Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" It is impossible to mention Jimi Hendrix's name in a sentence without the word "great." In 1967 Hendrix made the world aware, with the release of "Are You Experienced," that he was one of the world's most innovative and greatest guitar players ever born. The album spent an unbelievable 106 weeks on the Billboard charts leveling out at number fi ve. Even today "Are You Experienced?" continues to be a best seller. This is the album that gave us a the unforgettable hits "Purple your Green thumb to the Gtlrden by Barb Cburchill Altetnatlve "'"s\( G"t" Soundgarden really has come a long way in just a few short years. I intend to look at three Soundgarden cassettes, Louder than Love (1989), Badmotorfinger (1991), and Superunknown (1994). Soundgarden is one of the Seattle group of alternative bands. arguably the best known of the group. (One of the others is Alice in Chains.) Louder than Love was one of their first few albums. Chris Cornell. their lead singer. mostly spent his time screaming. The best song on the album is a tune called "Full on Kevin's Mom", in which he laments the end of a friendship because one of Kevin's friends got involved with Kevin's mom. It has odd harmonies and rhythms. but is very listenable, Most of the other songs are quite Haze" and "Foxy Lady." The songs "Fire" and "Hey Joe" are no strangers to the radio waves either. On any given day, on any sort of "rock" station, you are guaranteed to hear at least one or more of these songs, or anyone or more of his other numerous hits. Another good reason to have these classic albums is the fact that there is a lot more outstanding music on the albums that what is played over the radio, or what is rehashed on greatest hits albums. Most of my favorite Hendrix songs usually aren't heard on the radio, or if they are, it's not very often. Besides the popular songs that I have already mentioned, "Are You Experienced" provides many more great songs. "The Wind Cries Mary" is slower, bluesy song that shows off Hendrix's talent of great song writing and his innovative, bluesy guitar style. Less subtle are the rockers "Manic Depression" and "I Don't Live Today." These are songs that compare evenly with his hits "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady." They all contain that raunchy groove that Hendrix was capable of pouring out of his Fender reminiscent of 1960's psychedelia, and some just seem to be thrown together just to make an album. However, it's not a bad attempt. Badmotorfinger had several good songs. "Rusty Cage" talks about how a person will get into a rut, but eventually break out of it (and run). It has catchy lyrics and an interesting rhythmic structure. "Outshined" talks about a guy who's really tired, and feels like life has passed him by. As one line in the song puts it. "1'm looking California, but feeling Minnesota." Although pretty monotonous in melody, the song is memorable and exciting due to its rhythmic intensity. "Slaves and Bulldozers" is the third great song. The rhythm is dri ving and relentless, and the point that they seem to be making is that people in relationships really don't communicate all that well, and eventually they will feel, as the song THE JIMI HENDRIX deadly disease that kills within hours of infecting the victim. Outbreak dazzles the viewer with a star studded cast. Aside from Dustin Hoffman it also stars. Morgan Freeman, Rene Russo, Cuba Gooding, Jr., the ruthless Donald Sutherland and Patrick Dempsey. It is directed by Wolfgang Peterson. Like J stated earlier, I wasn't too Strat. Jimi Hendrix's unbelievable guitar style helped revolutionize the guitar styles used today. It is not hard to believe that what he did in 1967 is still being mocked today, decades later. He remains to be one of the most covered artists, both by amateur and professional musicians alike. To the music world "Are You Experienced" is more than an old says, "What's in it for me?" The other songs here mostly seem to depict Soundgarden as flirting with a heavy-metal sound, and aren't as memorable. In Superunknown, Cornell isn't screaming as much, and almost all the songs are excellent "Black Hole Sun" is the one everyone has heard. and "Fell on Black Days" was also widely heard. These songs depict people upset by failed relationships. Nothing they do is right, and they aren't sure why their partner doesn't care anymore. In "Spoonman" and "Mailman", they depict people who aren't recognized by their loveobject, and are doing everything they possibly can to call attention to themselves so they will have a chance at a relationship. In "Superunkncwn" they lament the uncertainty of life. In "My Wave" they take on hypocrisy.

It is an excellent cassette, because more of the songs on it are tuneful, yet the rhythmic complexity that they showed on earlier recordings is still intact. They keep getting better, and that shows that they are a group with staying power.

As a composer myself, J am impressed, and as soon as the new CD comes out I'U be lining up for it. Morgan Freeman didn't really have all that big of a role, nothing compared to The Shawshank Redemption. Overall, I am going to have to give this film a green light.

Senator Nelson R.T's Real CD Review: A Bla st Fro m the Post Jirt i H~ ~Ri>< by Robby Thompson This week my intentions are to bring something new, but old, into my review. Every so often I will review a 'blast from the past." This means I will review a classic album that is not only great, but one that everyone should have in their collection. Today, with the age of CD's, almost all of the classic albums have been put on CD. Even more recenlly, the mu ic is being remastered on CD, thus providing even a better sound quality. One such album is Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" Haze" and "Foxy Lady." The songs "Fire" and "Hey Joe" are no strangers to the radio waves either. On any given day, on any son of "rock" station, you are guaranteed to hear at least one or more of the e songs, or any one or more of his other numerous hits. Another good reason to have these clas ic albums is lhe fact that there is a lot more outstanding music on the albums that what is played over the radio, or what is rehashed on greatest hits albums. Most of my favorite Hendrix songs usually aren't heard on the radio, or if they are, it's not very often. 5 It is impossible to mention Jimi Hendrix's name in a sentence without the word "great." In 1967 Hendrix made the world aware, with the release of "Are You Experienced," that he was one of the world's most innovative and greatest guitar players ever born. The album spent an unbelievable 106 weeks on the Billboard charts leveling out at number five. Besides the popular songs that I have already mentioned, "Are You Experienced" provides many more great songs. 'The Wind Cries Mary" is slower, bluesy song lhat shows off Hendrix's talent of great song writing and his innovative, bluesy guitar style. Less sublle are the rockers "Manic Depression" and "I Don't Live Today." These are songs that compare evenly with his hits "Purple Haze" and ''Foxy Lady." They all contain that raunchy groove that Hendrix was capable of pouring out of his Fender THE JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE Even today "Are You Experienced?" continues to be a best seller. This is the album that gave us a the unforgettable hits "Purple Strat. Jimi Hendrix's unbelievable guitar style helped revolutionize the guitar styles used today. It is not hard to believe that what he did in 1967 i till being mocked today, decades later. He remains to be one of the most covered artists, both by amateur and professional musicians alike. To the music world "Are You Experienced" is more than an old record, it is a piece of history that shows off the talent of one great guitar player. This piece of history deserves not to just be reviewed or criticized, but listened to and appreciated. I can say it's great, and time has proven its stability, but the only way for you to know i to explore the Jimi Hendrix. experience yourself. yaur Gr een thumb ta the G(\ r de n by Barb Churchill A\tetnaf\ve Mui,c Gu,u Soundgarden really has come a long way in just a few short years. I intend to look at three Soundgarden cassettes, Louder than Love ( I 989), Badmoto,finger (1991 ), and Superunknown (1994). Soundgarden is one of the Seattle group of alternative bands, arguably the best known of the group. (One of the others is Alice in Chains.) Louder than Love was one of their first few albums. Chris Cornell, their lead singer, mostly pent his time screaming. The best song on the album is a tune called " Full on Kevin's Mom", in which he laments the end of a friendship because one of Kevin' s friends got involved with Kevin' s mom. It has odd harmonies and rhythms, but is very listenabl e . Most of the other songs are quite reminiscent of 1960's psychedelia and some just seem to be thrown together just to make an album. However, it's not a bad attempt. Badmotorftnger had several good songs. "Rusty Cage" talks about how a person will get into a rut, but eventually break out of it (and run). It has catchy lyrics and an interesting rhythmic structure. "Outshined" talks about a guy who's really tired, and feels like life has passed him by. As one line in the song puts it, 'Tm looking California, but feeling Minne ota." Although pretty monotonous in melody, the song is memorable and exciting due to its rhythmic inten ity. "Slaves and Bulldozers" is the third great song. The rhythm is driving and relentle , and the point that they seem to be making is that people in relationships really don't communicate all that well , and eventually they will feel, as the song says, "What's in it for me?" The other songs here mostly seem to depict Soundgarden as flirting with a heavy-metal sound, and aren't as memorable. In Superun.known, Cornell isn't screaming as much, and almost all the songs are excellent. "Black Hole Sun" is the one everyone has heard, and ''Fell on Black Days" was al o widely heard. These songs depict people upset by failed relationship . othing they do i right, and they aren ' t sure why their partner doesn't care anymore. In "Spoonman" and "Mailman", they depict people who aren't recognized by their Ioveobject, and are domg everything they pos ibly can lo call attention to themselves so they will have a chance at a relationship.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE op'en forum held/should the Phy Ed bUilding more than others and don't have to pay?" An ever- increasing reply, is that student_ athletes are William Murin not subject to these fees because it helps to make Parkside's scholarship package comparable to other schools. The fact that there are only four other schools in the Great Lakes Valley Conference and the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletes Conference, including Parkside currently, that waive or pay at least some portion of these fees for student-athletes, greatly frightens recipients of athletics scholarships. Even so, if Parkside decides to have these student-athletes pay segregated fees, they could still attend Madison Milwaukee. Green Bay, or Marquett~ - leading to a possible decrease in enrollment at Parkside. On March I, the first of two open forums took place. Linda Draft, the Athletic Director, Diane Welsh, the March 9, 1995 athletes pay segregated fees? bYBrian Matsen lions were raised, but answers Quos f. absent.

Murin wrote in a circulated letter to . erested parties on the campus, "help : support athletics, intramurals, student organizations, university activities, health services ... the Parkside Union ... the noon concert series, and other events." The idea of enacting these fees on 5lUdenl-athletes are causing arguments offairness and equality. The main question is, as Murin wrote, "Why should student-athletes receive a privilege enjoyed by few other students?" "Is it fair that athletes use Students attend International Sigma Tau Delta meetin assistant director of student life and dire~tor of university aClivities, and Davl~ Holly were not present, but if questions are still asked, these are the people to talk to - besides Murin and Teri Jacobson, a member of PSGA Senate, who helped to hold the audience-of-eight's attention for forty- five minutes. Three women who are involved in Parkside sOftb~lI, spoke on behalf of curious student-athletes. Karen Hartwig said, "Actually we just came to find out some information." Concern is not lacking this semester. Whether the subject is music, English, or student-athletes, concern for future endeavors is everywhere. "It's a real mixed bag," said Murin. There are so many factors to look at for one decision. Fairness and equality for all students, campus outlook for scholarship bound student-athletes, and enrollment are among a few factors. "The Chancellor can do anything she wants to," Murin said. "[This] whole thing might be totally irrelevant." If enrollment decreases for next semester, all the meetings, open forums, and sleepless nights might be for nothing, because Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith may have no other choice but to have student-athletes who received scholarships pay segregated fees. Ideas are still being tossed. For another person to contact, if troubled with this issue, for those students and faculty that want to make their opinions known and could not make either meetings, please feel free to e-mail comments to jacobson @" lt.uwp.edu.

UWP has a long history of educating non-traditional students, according to 1:T.6. faculty advisor Andrew M.cLean. "By using the Parkside experience with non- traditional students as a model," he says, "we share our experiences at a national forum." Three students will read original papers at the St. Louis meeting. Mark Ulmen's "Teaching College English: A Changing Frontier" assesses future job opportunities. Judy Weber's "Bilingualism in a Memoir of a Bilingual Childhood" examines Richard Rodriguez's reflections on education in his "Hunger of Memory." The third paper by Diane Wemke, ''The Women in Conrad's Darkness," looks at a little considered aspect of a familiar work, "The Heart of Darkness." Papers are judged before acceptance. "Having three papers accepted from one campus is a strong affirmation of the talent among our students." says McLean. "And add to that the hosting of a panel," he added, "and the UWP community has some academic excellence to be very proud f " o. Six UWP students are on [he official program of the International Sigma Tau Delta (ITli) meeting in St. Louis, March 16-18.

Volunteer of the week Students are selected as "Volunteers of the Week" by their altruistic attitudes, the amount of time shared within the community and the impact their service has made in the lives of others. This week's volunteer is Susan Boscher. Susan Boscher is a senior majoring in Psychology graduating in May with plans on working in Human Services. Susan became active in the Parkside Volunteer Program when she enrolled in September as a 2nd grade tutor at Bain Elementary School in Kenosha and later became a fast volunteer (Families & Schools Together) through the Alcohol & Other Drug Council of Kenosha. Sue thinks she has learned a lot by working in the FAST program. She stated, '" have seen how parents and chi Idren relate to Susan Boscher each other and how society has a huge impact on children. They can be influenced so easily. If parents can spend fifteen minutes a day with each child, communication and behavior can improve." Lori Capelli, Bain School teacher thinks Susan would be an excellent school counselor. She reported, "Sue is a great volunteer! She is genuinely interested in the students and they love her!" Thanks Susan for having that special ability of showing children you care. Whether it be in the classroom, the gymnasium or in the home, your concern and interest in the welfare of others will make a difference.

While we are facing drastic cuts in student aid and funding to the universities, and while we are looking at negative policies imposed on the university system, the student government of UWP simply cannot afford to have leadership that is not its very strongest.

In response to several incidents of racial harassment over the past several weeks at UW -Parks ide, Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith addressed the campus community in a letter dated Feb. 23, 1995. The letter stated, "The University has a moral and ethical responsibility to maintain a teachingllearning by Tyson Wilda Women IS Track makes history Niese and Pope National Champions by AI Heppner United Council met the weekend of February 23rd and 24th with concerns of the governor's budget the main topic of discussion. Budget matters were explained to those in attendance and a plan of how to deal with them was developed. The two primary areas of focus were: 1) To make it clear to the legislators of Wisconsin that these budget cuts would hurt the UW system and 2) To stand as an organized group with a clear focus on this matter. To these ends, UC plans to send lobbyists to state legislators to explain what a detri rnent to education these cuts can be. They will also be collecting a list of concerned students who will be able to lend their voices to this cause. (Students who wish to be a pan of this list may contact UC through their own local student governrnents.) Lastly, it was decided that all campuses would participate in a day of action on April 6th. Suggested activities were to hold a "prisoner day" to point out that the prison system is getting more funds than the university system; to hold a funeral for education; to pass out Band-Aids to students to illustrate that these "Cuts Hurt;" or to put on any other type of display based around the theme that these cuts will hurt the educational system. Other matters discussed in the various committees ranged from privacy concerns to cuts in remedial education. Concerns regarding student privacy and the use of Social Security Numbers as student 10 numbers were addressed. lt was decided to look into using some other form of ID for students and to also try to limit the release of confidenri al student information as much as possible to protect student privacy. Proposed cuts in remedial education programs were student privacy. Proposed cuts in remedial education programs were discussed and the General Assembly voted to stand against any cuts in that program. They fell that these programs are needed to insure accessibility of a university education 10 all. A representative of SEAK spoke before the Women's Issues Committee.

Magda Tamas ran a 2: 19.5 800, followed by Jen Moss' 60.7 400, and Amy Haines' 3:45.1 1200. Their finishing time of 12:43.43 topped second place Hillsdale by 12 seconds and set a school record. Haines also starred in the 3000 meter run, where she took 2nd place in a personal best 10: 10,91. She took command of the race with five laps to go. However, Wayland Baptist's Jodie Young shocked Haines by sprinting past her with just over two laps left. Haines has been the team's top 5000 meter runner all season, but stepped down to the 3000 to try to increase UWP' s team score. She is currently ranked #1 in the nation in the 5000 by the NCAA Division II poll. see Women's Track, page 6 Not one. not two, but three national champions. When combined with their fourth place team trophy and two additional All-American plaques. the UWP Women's Track Team almost had to rent another van to bring home all the hardware. The Running Rangers truly shined at the NAJA Indoor National Championships in Lincoln, Nebraska. Valerie Niese took control early and won her first of two national championships in the mile with a time of 5:03.19. Colette Marotto also earned All-American status by using a Tracey Pope-like kick to finish 6th in 5:13.31. Niese had the fastest time going into the race, but she still wasn't totally convinced that she could win it all. "I wasn't worried about time. I just wanted to win;" said Niese. "It (the win) was a big relief. It didn't really hit me until later. " Niese raced aggressively, speeding up whenever she was challenged. Parkside finishes fourth in college bowl fashion. The t €. a m s represented UW-Parkside, UW-Eau Claire, UW- Madison. Marquette, Bela it, University of I I lin a i s - ~...,:,:,'-iL Chi c ago , Jim Hendrickson University of Chicago, and Northwestern. A tie for second place between UW-Madison and UI-Chicago was settled by a one game playoff. The winner of this match, Madison, then went on to face undefeated U-Chicago in a best two- out-of-three championship match. Because If-Chicago won the first two games, there was no third. Parkside finished in a three-way tie for fourth place with Beloit and Northwestern. College Bowl has two types of questions: the ten-point tossups and the bonuses, which can offer a variable (5-30) number of points. Parkside's Hendrickson finished third in the individual competition in points earned on tossup questions, with 270 out of 7 rounds, answering 30 correctly, five incorrectly and one before being recognized. Carter earned 105 tossup points, Holmberg and Kane 85, and Von Dissen 10. The individual winner in total tossup points, John Carlino from Beloit, earned an astounding 470, with 52 correct and 10 incorrect. However, Carlino earned only 15 points in Beloit's match versus Parkside, the final one for both teams on Saturday. Parkside's win-loss record was 3·4. The Rockin' Bowlers, who had won the Homecoming week college bowl competition, made up four-fifths of the team. When Leo Sulli van dropped off the team, Rob Holmberg was added from the PASA learn. "It's a source of neverendi ng amazement to me," said Kane, "that the ability to answer these sort of low- level, or knowledge-level questions is held by the public to be an indication of someone's intelligence, But as long as it is. I'm perfectly willing to let them think it, and accept the public approbation." "The meal Eau Claire gave us was nice." said Carter. Hendrickson concurred, adding, "The UW-Eau Claire people were great, especially Paula Stoettgen. I'm glad 1 did this." Each College Bowl match started with a buzzer check and a deep question like the one opening this article. For the record. Hendrickson wants to see Newt Gingrich immortalized as a Chia Pet Holmberg's favorite dive is the Parkside cafeteria. Kane wants 10 be known as Boomer when he guests on American Gladiators. Von Dissen thinks Democratic thought is the most horrible disease.

By nominating their most excellent instructors, students express to the faculty what they appreciate in fine teaching. All full-time members of the faculty and teaching academic staff who have taught at Parkside for at least five years will be considered. After all the nominations are received, a combined student- faculty committee will choose two instructors. The criteria for selection will include student nominations, recent teaching evaluations, syllabi, the instructor's personal philosophy of teaching, and what the instructor considers important to explaining his/her teaching success. Winners of the past seven years Motivational speaker during hispanic open house March 3 Now Hear people that usually come to The Chancellor's Table is three to five at the most. Many students do not want to spend their free time, or lunch hour eating with the Chancellor, but it really is encouraged. It gives me and the students a chance to meet each other." The Chancellor's Table, which is held every other month, officially began, when Chancellor Smith came to Parkside, on May 16, 1994. Smith held some of the first Chancellor's Table luncheons in her office and found that it did not work our for the student body. Since then, these luncheons have been held in Main place and the Union dining room. The next Chancellor's Table luncheon will be held sometime in April. "We were able to focus and define our key priorities," said UC President David Stacy, "it is critical that we maintain the aff'ord abili t y and accessibility of a university education in Wisconsin and it's going to take a lot of hard work from students and student leaders to do that."

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document n Several discrepancies existed in the article about the noose hanging incident printed in last week's issue of The Ranger News. "I feel that it is imperative that accurate information about the incident be available to the public," staled DeAnn Possehl, Director of Residence Life. "It is true that on February 6, 1995, Marian Triplett did return to find a noose hanging up in his room," She said that the incident was reported to Matt Hechel, the R.A., who then contacted her for input. Possehl advised Hechel to contact University Police. She stated that once an officer arrived at Triplett's room, he had left. University Police had to follow up with the situation later that evening when Triplett returned. According to Possehl. "The complaint is now being handled through the normal university student discipline process." Another concern that Possehl had was that Triplett hadn't complained about any"racist behavior" prior to the incident on February 4. Possehl stated, By Pamela Bradshaw "Should the Minimum wage be increased" was the topic of the February 15th Soup and Substance lecture. Norman Cloutier, associate professor of economics at UWParkside, outlined the advantages and disadvantages of raising the federal minimum wage. "At least up until the earlier 1980's you get a typical sawtooth pattern of the minimum wage," explained Cloutier, describing the increases in the minimum wage and subsequent decrease in its real value due to inflation. "During the Reagan administration the minimum wage wasn't increased at all," Cloutier stated. Currently, approximately 3% of all people employed earn the minimum wage. "The value of the minimum wage relative to other wages being earned is 30~50% of the average manufacturing wage. "The vast majority of economists Teri Jacobson "room conflicts are not unusual in an apartment living situation." She said that Hechel met with the residents of Triplett'S housing unit on at least two occasions to talk about any problems in the apartment. "It is standard residence Iife procedure to attempt to resolve roommate conflicts through mediation," Possehl stated. In addition, it was Triplett who requested a room change in November. Possehl approved a room change on February 3, 1995 when Triplett found one with which he was satisfied. Possehl added, "this request was approved prior to the incident." Hechel asserted that conflicts regarding cleanliness were the origional reasons why Triplett had asked to move. The Ranger quoted Triplet in a letter he addressed to Steve McLaughlin, Dean of students at UWParkside. Triplet requested that there should be training "in how to deal with racial and potentially hostile issues that impact on the student's living environment." In response, Possehl pointed out that "resident advisors receive approximately 50 hours of training in the fall and 16 hours of training mid year." In this are not in favor of the minimum wage," Cloutier stated, because they believe the increase will cause' unemployment. However, Cloutier states that an increase would not cause "massive disemployment of any groups." "A 10% increase in the minimum wage will result in a 1-3% decline in employment for teenagers," Cloutier said. "It's going to hurt those people who have the lowest production, training or skill." "We should increase the minimum wage because we shouldn't have people working full time in poverty," Cloutier said, explaining the reasoning given for increasing the minimum wage. However, he added that "the link between increases in the minimum wage and poverty are very weak." Most of the people recei ving the minimum wage are part time workers. Cloutier believes that "both the opponent and proponents generally The University of Wisconsin- UW-Parkside will be sending 8 Parkside wrestling team has been wrestlers to the NCAA nationals to be ranked #JO in the country in the latest held March 3rd and 4th in Kerney, NAIA wrestling poll.

In his letter Triplett also requested that Hechel.be ousted from his positon as R.A. Hechel stated that he was not sure why Triplett would ask that since he had been According to Hechel, Triplett called him and said that there was a rope hanging above Mcf.Iellandts (Triplett's former roommate) desk. At the advise of Possehl he called the University Police who then responded. Hechel stated, "Once it's in the police's hands, it's out of the RA.' s hand." When Heche} saw the noose, which Triplett referred to as a rope, he was offended and thus acted promptly by calling Possehl, and then the police. Hechel, too, states that Triplett was not around when the unversity officer ani ved at the scene. Steve McLaughlin, dean of students, stated that at present they are trying to complete the investigation and are in the process of disciplinary action. by Brian Matsen In the January 26th issue of the Ranger, a proposed Campus Secure Program was mentioned and surveys that accompanied the article were to be filled out and brought to the Campus police department or the Ranger News office. As mentioned in the Jan 26 edition, the Campus Secure Program would provide "each student, faculty, and staff member who subscribes to the system with a tiny personal radio transmitter which is .carried on a key chain or necklace. When a button on the transmitter is held down for 3/4 of a second, a personally coded signal for help is sent .... "- Within seconds of this signal, help would be on the way.

Discrepancies cleared up by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer At the Feb, 17th, PSGA Senate meeting, Segregated University fees Allocation committee (SUF AC) budget recommendations for 1995-96 were passed by the Parkside Student Government Association. Of the 23 requests, 18 organizations' budgets either increased or remained the same, and the rest decreased for next year. Total increased spending for next year amounted to $39,807, a 2.9% increase up from this year giving SUFAC $1,436,492 for the 1995-96 budget. The music department, with a 48.5% increase' $3.300, the childcare center, with a 21.8% increase; $8,500 and the Union Administration with a 31.0% increase; $26,000, were among th~ 18 organizations who received the highest increases for next year. See Noose, page 2 Raising minimum wage overstate their case." "To establish the impact of a minimum wage you have to hold everything else constant," Cloutier stated. Difficulties in studying the effect of a minimum wage include: not all labor is covered by the minimum wage, different states have different levels of the minimum wage and not all employers comply with the minimum wage laws. by Brian Matsen At noon on February 15 in Molninaro 109, Mcri-Ra Kwesi , a lecturer on "Afrikan" fashion and culture and a designer of Africancentric apparel, brought an educational lecture and slide presentation to a highly receptive audience. Her presentation, The Cultural Destruction of Afrikan Fashions, Once Sacred, Now Desecrated, was based on her travels and research on the textiles of Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Spain, and also from assorted garments and accessories from Egypt, Cana, and Morocco. Kwcst's presentatio_n dealt with her Motherland, Africa, from ancient times to the present. Her goal was to "uncover the importance of African fashions" - what they meant; their symbolism; their authority - and transmit this cultural respect to her audience. She was upset that African fashions have not been taken seriously. In fact, through the plagiarism of African fashions, as her presentation proved, her culture's fashions have been ravaged. She continued to stress that "anything goes ... but they don't know the meanings." The study of ancient times in Africa show that power was illustrated by the clothes and accessories a person, whether they were a king, warrior or commoner, wore. "Not everybody was allowed to wear everything," she said. "If you increase the income of some people it is coming at the cost of not having income for some others," stated Cloutier. He also stated that he is against the minimum wage, believing that programs like the Earned Income Credit would help relieve poverty more effectively. Cloutier holds a doctorate in economics from West Virginia University. His teaching and research interests are in labor econometrics and inequality. He has also published several articles in the area of income distribution. of the campus does not care. Even though an overwhelming 48 women, compared to 27 men responded to a questionnaire about this proposed program, these numbers are small compared to the population at this university. According to Leuenberger, "It doesn't seem like the student body cares," said Jeffrey Leuenberger, University Police Supervisor. He seemed upset that the responses were poor, but gave the indication that life moves on. Of the total 75 responses, 21 individuals said "no" to any secure system if offered on the campus; 16, seven men and eight women, said "yes" and the remaining thirty-eight responses said that more information is needed. Through the use of her slide show, Kwesi displayed visually documented proof of cultural fashion traditions introduced by ancient Egyptians and Moors that brought Europe out of the "Dark Ages", the plagiarism of African symbols, styles, and practices from ancient times to modem, and the treatment of her culture's elaborate fashions and adornments as insignificant fads in a Europeandominated fashion industry. Among the many stolen attributes to African fashion was the fur coat. In times long ago, the fur coat was used for keeping fleas off of the people. Bugs and such would go onto and into generally used wolf skin, then be brushed out or shaken out later. The fur coat was not a statement of fashion, it was a way to make life better. Hairstyles and makeup techniques were stolen, too, from the African culture. Make-up, for instance, was used to protect the eyes of people along the Nile. "Long before Fruit of the Loom, we had the drawers," said Kwesi, followed by a rally of applause. The loin cloth was worn in Africa before underwear was even thought of. Even the bustle W'IS stolen from African culture. "They even stole our butt," she said. As time ran short, less than half of the audience moved next door for about fifteen. minutes to hear the conclusion of Kwesi' s presentation. During this time, she spoke more about herself and how she came to doing her lecture and slide show. ~ ,O'~II Students respond to governor s budget . . .. 1 1m;, is whether or not working becoming .

It is also a great learning experience. Nursing student, Michelle Barrera, who recently began her clinical volunteer work at the Shalom Center in Kenosha, said even after being there for one day, "it really gave me a different outlook on life." by Kara Pacetti Parksides second annual Volunteer Fair, sponsored by the Parkside Community Outreach Club (PCOC), was held in Upper Main Place on Wednesday, February 15 from 9:00 .HI)- 1:00 pm. Thirty-three agencies from Kenosha, Racine, and Burlington, ranging from the Girl Scouts of America to Southeast Wisconsin AIDS Project participated in the fair. The fair, which is held once a year, is geared toward recruiting students, faculty and staff into volunteer service and to create campus/community awareness of what services these agencies provide to the community. Senior Alaina Whitney states, "There is such a great need for volunteers." Volunteering for the past six years as a guardian for the Kenosha Guardianship Assistance Program, Whitney adds, "The greatest thing [about volunteering] is the satisfaction of knowing that you actually can make a big difference in individuals' lives." Students, faculty and staff SUFAC, continued by SUFAC. Ranger Editor-In- Chief, _Nick Zahn stated his opposition to the cut. "A $2,000 cut would not be healthy for the newspaper next year," said Zahn Jacobson explained that budget increases and decreases are determined by how an organization's money was spent the previous year. Part of the rationale for the Ranger's decrease was problems with the salary. She stated, "There is enough money to work around with in the salary without a $2,000 miscellaneous salary." The miscellaneous salary would be set aside for next year's Editor-InChief and Managing Editor. Zahn argued that, "Considering the amount of time needed, and responsibility (with these two jobs), it is only fair that this amount of money be offered (for next year)." "Although people volunteer their time for the Ranger, many others cannot afford to, which discourages many people from participating at all," said Zahn. "If you want to have a student newspaper that is able to seriously report news on campus, you're going to have to spend a little bit more money (than what has been offered)." The outcome of the appeals have left Ranger's budget for next 'year with a $1,000 cut, instead of a $2,000 cut previously proposed by SUFAC. The Ranger News was the only organization to appeal their budget as recommended by SUFAC . Parkside's second annual Volunteer Fair, sponsored by the Parkside Community Outreach Club, was held in Upper Main Place on Wednesday, February 15 from 9:00 am-1 ;00 pm, Noose, continued A UW-Parkside University Police Volunteer of the week Incident Report taken on February 4, 1995 reported that the incident type was one which dealt with a personal _ property theft.

This week's volunteer is Jeff Rhein. Jeff Rhein is a junior majoring in Biology with an interest in Pre-Health. When the Safewalk Program at UW· Parkside began in November, 1993, Jeff signed up and became a participant. Last spring, the Safewalk Coordinator position opened and Jeff was nominated and voted to fill this volunteer position. Jeff stated, "We have volunteers from all ages and majors. They have one common concern and that is to keep the Uw-Parkside campus a safe place to be without worry. Many of the safewalkers are from housing, housing office. Volunteers are scheduled once or twice a monthfrom 7:00pm-Midnight, Sunday through Thursday. I encourage students to use the Safewalk service regularly." Jeff became a Habitat for Humanity volunteer late last semester whentbe Habitat Club was formed. He has helped with dry walling, plumbing, and staining in a home in Racine that will be owned by a low income family. Thanks Jeff for being a campus leader and a community worker.

I briefly ~onderedwho, what or if They were. The questions I had were so few in Umber that you could fit them all in a n . thimble and still have room left to spare. The complexity of my questions were also limited. I didn't seek answers because the concept of Him didn't seem to bother me one wayor the other. _ When I was eighteen He was back again in my mind. This time I was more curious about Him. My questions at the time were greater in number and were a little less conceptual. Iwas looking for some tangible answers. I didn't know where to turn. So, I met up with someone with whom I began to talk of God and of Christ. We went to church togetherand studied the bible together aodeven prayed together. My interest at the time, however, began to wean when she moved away to another city. I didn't push to know more. I dion't need to. I took my questions, which at die time were enough in number to fill my back pocket, and went along my merry way. He didn't really enter my mind again. Now, I'm twenty eight. He is back againand this time in a BIG way. My questions are so great in number that they could fill a football stadium and tbey are burning for answers. I've been wanting factual answers to very conceptual questions and getting conceptual answers to very factual questions. It's driving me crazy. I yearn to know for sure if there is a God. The concept really blows me away. I'm a "facts and figures" girl. Show me something concrete and I'll I I Ig s. ra 'r " I s, h I e II e be content. Give me quotes from the bible (a book which has no authors' name on the cover, i.e. how can I be sure of its validity) and then I feel even more empty. There have been so many injustices in my life as of late, medical problems and personal as well. It's been so overwhelming. And the lives of so many others are even far worse than mine. If He is real, then why does he allow so much pain? And, if sinners go to Hell, then I'm in BIG trouble because I could fill ten thousand football stadiums with all of mine, and that's just this week. Yet, my new friend Andy tells me that if I can just allow Christ into my heart and believe God's love that all of my sins will be washed away and that heaven will be mine. He's so certain of what he feels and knows about God. I wish I were him. You would think I would just say, "Yes, I believe!", knowing that it will get me all of this great stuff (a clean slate and a place in heaven). But I can't yet. I can't because no one has answered my questions to my satisfaction. This is the third time in my life I have corne to the table with questions. I've walked away without answers twice before. I don't want to walk away this time empty handed. I've got to settle this. I've got to know. I need to firmly believe one way or the other. I can't let another ten years go by. I'm making a real effort this time to understand. I've been reading up on the subject (Bible) and have gone to a few bible study meetings. Last week I attended an Intervar si ty Christian Fellowship meeting and felt like a fish out of water. Everyone was kind and welcomed me with open arms, that's not what alienated me from them. It was their certainty of Letters to the Editor Governor Tommy wanlS your cash Does anyone remember those campaign commercials featuring TommyThompson jogging along with happy kids all on their way to a good education, followed by the sloganThompson for Education? Those kids wereapparently not from Wisconsin. Thompson's mega sized budget plan hit the floor last week with a resounding thud. Although, to University students, it may have sounded like a bomb going off. The document itself was 3000+ pages long and contained suggestions, recommendations and plans that cover everypiece of life the state has control OVer.We really don't have the time to lookat the whole thing, so let's just see how it affects the student population. Tommy wants the UW-System to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on property taxes. This is not all that bad of a goal. Wisconsin ~s have a fairly high property tax rate ID comparison to other states. To that ~nd his plan cal1s for a percentage Increasein tuition for System schools in the 95-96 year and again in the 96-97 year. These increases would be 4.7% and 3.8% at Madison, 5,7% and 4.8% at Milwaukee and 6.1 % and 5.2% at all other UW comprehensives. These increases are on top of usual scheduled inflationary tuition increases and the technology fee increase. There is also a required cut of $10 million from the system from current system expenditures. Now, can someone explain to me why Milwaukee and Madison receive lower increases than all the other schools? And can we make an educated guess given that example of where the bulk of the cuts are going to come from? If these budget proposals are intended to make the system more self-sufficient, I think it would only make sense to apply the increases and cuts across the board, not to play political favorites with them. Not that I would ever accuse Gov. Tommy of using these cuts as political football, I'm sure that would never happen. But wait, there's more! Tommy also suggests a $40 tuition surcharge for 95- God and my lack thereof which kept me from them. Still I plan to give it another try. If any of you readers are interested in joining me you can fi~d me in the back of the room at the next meeting. Last night I went to bed angered and saddened with my struggle. I decided I was going to leave it all alone. I decided to just stop asking questions and looking for Him in my life. I decided that I couldn't give this subject one more day's thought. Then, this morning I woke up and He was the first thing that came into my mind. HE was back again. I couldn't make the question of Him go away this time like I'd been able to so many times before in my life. And He's here with me now. I feel like someone has placed some tormenting "spell" on me. I can't run away from my thoughts. I can't push them down any longer. They won't let me. I NEED to know. I NEED to understand. I NEED to believe one way or the other. Do you know what I mean? Any of you? Do you need to know too? If any of you are familiar with my struggle, let's talk about it sometime. Join me in bible study on Thursdays at 5:00 p.m. in Union 202. It's a pretty interesting hour. We debate, discuss and depart. No strings. If you're not interested in bible study then you can find me via the Ranger office. Stop in or leave a message. Or we can talk somewhere else. I don't care where it is. I might find some comfort in knowing that someone else is where I am with this whole thing. Maybe there is strength in numbers and we can find answers together. Then again, maybe not. That's just it. I don't know. I just don't know. But at least for today, I know that I intend to keep searching. 96 and $80 for 96-97. These moneys are to be used to fund property tax relief. Well, I certainly can see where he got his reputation as a friend of education. It is one thing to make a plan that removes the educational burden from the property tax rolls, but is another thing entirely to place the property tax burden on the backs of the students. What we have here is another case of a politician shifting tax burdens from one area to another and calling it a tax cut. Yes, property taxes in Wisconsin are out of control. Yes, the UW System could be trimmed from the top and made to be more self-sufficient. No, this is not the way to do it. This budget plan will only speed the constant decrease in services that the System is already suffering. It will only discourage potential students from trying to get a college education. It will only sell the future for the price of good polls and a possible presidential campaign. Tyson Wilda Apology .

One Llberal's Opinion by Barh Churchill Now that we're stuck with him (why, oh why, didn't voters see through this man?), Newt Gingrich (aka "His Obnoxiousness") used his influence as Speaker of the House to limit Presidential authority to send troops into foreign countries, appatently because he's tired of the UN taking 'advantage of our soldiers. (This was covered under one of the provisions of the "Contract with America.") Appearances can sometimes be deceiving, however. This violates the separation of powers principle inherent in our Constitution. Subsequently, Democrats could call this the "Contract on America." Limit presidential authority in all the ways that count, and call it nothing except "cutting waste." However, if the Congress really wanted to cut waste, they'd cut Gingrich's (and every other Congressman's) salary until the budget is balanced. (Oh, yeah, and no more raises either.) They'd also delete perqs, such as subsidized medical care, pensions for former Speakers (that run into the millions of dollars), and "complimentary" trips on federal planes for junkets to Jamaica. But, no, that would cramp their style too much. Instead, they say, let's limit presidential authority. Then it's a win/win scenario: taxpayers still blindly pay for the junkets, and the president looks like an idiot. The few Democrats left in Congress are fuming, but powerless. They can't stop Gingrich: he's a steamroller set on overload. Nothing sticks to this man; not his questionable book deal, not his messy divorce (when he claims to be a paragon of virtue.), and not his waffling on issues. However, when petty partisan bickering takes the place of debate on issues, the people must act. It's time to hold your Congressmen and Representatives accountable. Let our representati ves hear your voice on issues that matter, such as the baseball strike, the economy, foreign policy, crime, etc. (Write Gingrich some nasty letters too, but keep it polite.) It's time for our representatives in Washington to think of us for a change, and not just the next handout. An old proverb states, "May you get exactly what you deserve." Are we really receiving the best government, or only the government that we "deserve" due to voter inattention and apathy? Praise of the week goes to Baltimore Orioles owner, Peter Angelos, who is refusing to field a "team" of scabs (I mean, "replacement players.") It's nice to know some owners aren't morons. However, Outrage of the Week is shared by the baseball owners, who are attempting to fine or take Angelos' team away from him if he refuses to comply, and Tommy Thompson, who once again lowered the boom on students. (May I say that I saw it coming? Thank. you.) Observations In Case You Missed It c. 1. Nelson Yes, I know that the title to this weeks commentary is also the name of my sports column. You see, I am stealing my own idea and adapting it. to my opinion piece this week. No Comment: I was going to talk some more about race relations in this week's column. I have been asked to forgo doing so this week. Rest assured, I am not through with that subject. Tain't Funny: Last week, the Ranger printed the story of an incident in student housing. The incident is being investigated, I am told; I am further informed that man who left the noose over the bed thought it was only a joke-some joke. Hey, Mr. McClelland, joking about a noose to an African-American male is like joking with a Nazi twisted cross to a person of Jewish heritage- it just is not. funny. Perhaps everyone should take a history course on the subject of the African-American experience in the U. S. After all, it is Fehruary (Black History Month) and that makes it a perfect time. Engage your brain before you act next time. Dem's, We Owe You One: The Democratic party rendered this nation a great service recently by opposing the idea of a 3/5 supermajori ty requirement for tax increases. The Constitution does not allow for a supermajority in the case of revenue hikes . No, You Can't Have It: Private property rights used to mean something in this country. Recently, in the name of the government and the environment, that right has been steadily eroded away. Presently in Congress is a bill known as the Property Owners Bill of Rights. All this legislation does is restore the takings clause of the fifth amendment to its rightful place. Declaring a dry farmers field a wet land so that he may not sell it to a housing developer is an obscene abuse of law. There are examples after examples of the environmental police taking, or restricting, the legitimate (and I stress the word legitimate) use of private property. President Reagan was right in ] 983 when he stated, "Some environmentalists will not be happy until they have turned the clock back a hundred years and have a bird's nest instead of housing." I Feel Sick: Not surprising in this area. It seems those geniuses at the EPA have decided that a reformulated gasoline must be used in Wisconsin and other cities and states. Problem is-it makes people sick. The EPA, as you might expect, denies this (it is one of the truisms of a liberal, they never make a mistake or admit to one, and they always know better than you) Our Governor Tommy Thompson is willing to go to bat for his people and has ordered a state investigation. Tommy's In Charge: I know that several other writers in these pages do not like the current chief executive in Madison. I am, on the whole, quite pleased and comfortable with his leadership. The only mistake he is making is the way he wants to fund education in this state. To the letter writer whining about property tax relief: I own a house, if you did also, you might see the other side of the coin. Go Out To A Ball Game: Show those greedy players. If the Brewers and the Cubs are going to make baseball affordable again, then I'm going. Besides I want to see the players lose this strike. As I stated last week, Donald Fehr is one of the biggest anal retentives in the nation. ----'-------=======::=----=---=--=========::::======::::=:J True Talent rroet's Corne Sibling Rivalry. The heart of a family, the juice of competition, and the basis for Sam Shepard's True West. On February 20 I attended a dress rehearsal of UW-Parkside's performance of True West. It was thrilling. The performance accented the subtle complexities that two rival brothers feel for each other. Austin, performed by Chris Harder, is an up and coming Hollywood screen writer. His older brother Lee, performed by Maxwell Mount, is a petty thief and drifter. The two brothers are at odds in everything and when they come together to write a western the emotional tension explodes. Director Leon Van Dyke does an admirable job of presenting the little nuances of the characters, and the subtle yet hidden love that the brothers feel for each other. True West is a superb play and the UWParkside actors do an excellent job of presenting such complex emotions. The first public performance will be held on Fehruary 24-25. After that there will be performances on March 2-4. Due to limited seating individuals should call ahead for tickets. For the tickets call the UW-Parkside Ticket office between 8-4pm, Monday through Friday at (414) 595-2564.

Boys By Dawn Apostoli If y?U want a movie that will make you laugh one minute and cry the next, then you should see Boys On The Side with Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Louise Parker. This movie is exceptional, enlightening, and definitely worth going to see- especially if you are a woman. Men will enjoy this film too, but it sort of seems like it's more of a woman's movie. The film starts out with Jane (played by Goldberg) planning to go to Los Angeles to pick up her music. career. She finds another woman Robin (played by Parker), wbo also has ' intentions of going to the West Coast. So, the two decide to car pool. Upon first glance, you see that their personalities clash a great dealJane is an outspoken, witty woman, while Robin is very timid and emotional. However, these characteristics do eventually intermix during the .course of the movie. On their way across the country, Jane stops in Pittsburgh to meet up with one of her good friends, Holly (played by Barrymore). A mishap occurs though. Holly is being beaten by her on the Side (****) boyfriend (Nick), and Jane tries, but fails, to stop him. Robin steps in and is able to control the situation for a little while with her quiet voice and meek actions. Nick is cooled down for awhile, but soon he's swinging the girls against the wall again. This time it's Holly's turn to put Nick in his place by beating him over the head with a baseball bat. While he's down and out (but still alive), they tie him up and head towards L.A. After a few days of good laughs and fun times, Holly decides it's time to return home to Nick. But, they soon see the headlines in the newspaper saying that a drug dealer (Nick) was found dead. Holly is stricken with guilt and sadness. This man may be the father of the baby she is carrying. The other girls are surprised to hear that Holly is eight weeks pregnant, but they each have their little secrets too. Jane, we find out, is a lesbian, and Robin tests positive for an extremely terrible disease. The girls decide not to report the "Nick Incident" to the police, so they continue westward and end up staying in Tucson where Holly falls in love with a man who happens to be a cop. What happens when she tells him about Nick? Will her boyfriend be faithful to the law V~e GJ3tac~eroioes this album of a million singers. Robinson is a vocalist who is able to incorporate a sense of real feeling into his singing. because of his extraordinary voice and feel, Robinson is probably one the best vocalists out there today, Amorica is a very well rounded album. It's an album that will start rockin', give you a groove to move to, mellow out into soothing sounds of a ballad. and then start rockin' allover again. A definite stand out is a song called "P, 25 London," This tune will catch your ear right away with the Hendrix-like guitar riff in the introduction, "Cursed Diamond" is one of the many songs with so much feeling, and such a catchy groove, that you may find yourself closing your eyes and letting the soul of this song soak into your own. It starts out as a gradual flowing groove and turns into a raw, and yet melodic, verse. The last song on the album, called "Descending:' shows off the talents of Hello our fellow readers. Here is the children's movie we promised and it is called Heavyweights. From the director of The Mighty Ducks comes the story of Jerry an 11- year old who is looking forward to a summer of Nintendo and hanging out with friends. Little does Jerry know, his parents have a better idea. I Since Jerry is a little overweight, his parents want to send . him to a camp for overweight children. Jerry objects at first until he sees the videotape of the go-carts and ''The Blob." and tum her in? Will he be faithful to her and keep her secret? Or is there a way he can be faithful to both? In the meantime, Jane is trying to make Robin's life happier and more meaningful by setting her up with a man. Robin resents Jane's helpfulness; therefore, their friendship splits up for a while .... until a mutual responsibility pulls them back together. There are episodes in the movie that are very humorous, very serious, and very depressing. It's not until near the end though, that you might have to struggle to hold back the tears. Almost every part of the ending is sad: Robin's mother's thoughts about how Robin will always stay with her (and not leave her like her son and husband did), seeing Robin with her skeleton frame and sickly face, and listening to Jane finish Robin's song while painful tears stream down both their faces. Not only was it me that found this movie to be so sad, but so did all the people in the theater who were sniffling and shedding tears. I really liked this movie, and hopefully you will find it as enjoyable as I did. So, I definitely recommend it for everyone who wants a good laugh and a good cry at the same time! piano player Eddie Harsch, This is a beautiful sounding song that combines a crisp piano with the sounds of smooth slide guitar, It is good example of what the Black Crowes, as a band, are really capable of. The result is more than satisfying. An album of this sort that contains so much soul, feelings, and grooves, is hard to put into words, Most importantly, it is probably best to be enjoyed rather than I described, My advice would be to listen for, yourself and create your own meaning from the feel you get from this album, That" s what Amorica is made up of - soulful feelings with a groove to move. I must add that I have seen the Black Crowes live, and it was one of the best shows that I have ever seen. They .are one of the few bands you could ever say that sound better live than on the album, Either way, Amorica is sure to bring life to the _ stage and into your souL 1:ales from the <irytics Jfeavy weights Ben Stiller is about to take a heavy hit in Heavyweights - R.T"s Real CD Review After a few days at the camp, Jerry meets up with camp legend Josh ( who you might see starring in any upcoming Godfather films). The tW9 find out the camp isn't run by a sweet elderly couple anymore but that it's run by a psycho cross between Richard Simmons and Dennis Miller. Overall, this is a decent kids movie. In our opinion, there isn't anything that a child's eyes couldn't see. This is a perfect Saturday or Sunday afternoon movie but this isn't one to get all psyched up about. We are going to have to give this one a yellow light as a children's movie which isn't anything we haven't seen before . .........---_........... By: Robby Thompson The Black Crowes have flown in once again, Actually, they've never really flown away, Ever since their first album Shake Your Moneymaker, the Black Crowes have remained on top of the charts, So how do you go about describing the Black Crowes? Put simply, they stand in a class that" s all their own. Amorica, their new album, is everything a Crowes fan could want: Pure southern harmony, Although overshadowed by their first two "radio friendly" albums, Amorica has yet to get a lot of air play, Since the album's release late in 1994, only one single, "A Conspiracy:' has been released, Nonetheless, "A Conspiracy" is one great song among many others, Consistent with the Crowe's first two albums, Amorica has that feel and groove that pulls you into the music, Chris Robinson, the lead singer, has the soul on By: Bill Zasoba Paul Danninger ~ _,~~~m~ ... , I A1t1ieie6f1tleW 1st place for Ranger's~I :~~~;~::~~~~g Hase n]ag e r ~~:~t~:~":~:: Sayville, NY Major: Undecided Scott Fragale Mucker hei de .

The Rangers are now 5-18, while Olivet Nazarene improved their record to 13-11. The Rangers were behind at the half 39-30, but were able to get back into the game when Maci Persteiner hit a 3-pointer with 35 seconds left giving the Rangers a 74-72 lead. Olivet's Stacey Mann then hit a shot in the lane with 5/IO's of a second left to send the game into overtime. Mann had 23 points in all, and teammate Rochelle Durbin added 20. Parkside did win the rebounding battle 52-43, but were outscored in the overtime period 13-10. Leading the way for the Rangers was Heather Bogenschneider with 23 points, Pernsteiner added 19, and minutes, including last Thursday's overtime loss to NAIA powerhouse, Olivet-Nazarene. The main reason the team has hung close in so many games is senior Maci Pemsteiner. She is unquestionably the leader of this ball Maci Pernsteiner club. After a solid freshman year, Pernsretner struggled as a sophomore. But consistent work habits have shifted the spotlight to her outstanding play. She leads the team in scoring (15.3), assists (3.6), steals (2:4), and minutes (31.4). Miller considers her a model athlete. "She's playing the best basketball of her career and is great for the young kids. They all look up to her," said Miller. An explosive first step, physical strength, and her 887 career points will make Pemsteiner hard to replace. "I've worked the same as I always have. I have to put myself in their [the freshmen's] place and remember what it was like," said Pemsteiner. "We had a growing year my freshman year too." And how would Pemsteiner like to finish her career? "I'd just like to look back with no regrets. Four years have come down to 4 games. I'll miss it a lot," she said. The team remains confident about their future. ~ "I think we have a lot of potential," added Kassing. "Each year we will get better and better, so by our 4th year we'll be a great team." Pemsteiner forecasts a bright future for the team as well. She added, "They've gained a lot of experience that can't be replaced-close games." Close games that will hopefully swing in their-favor next year. by Al Heppner It all started about four years ago. The Rangers had a full team and didn't recruit. Coach Wendy Miller knew she had her work cut out for her after last season's mostly senior learn finished a respectable 12414. W d M'II Miller brought in a big freshman en y I er class this year, ten to be exact. The "tough ten," despite their lack of size, have kept themselves in games with their strength and hustle. Their determination is not accurately reflected in their 5-18 record as most the losses were deceptively close. "We're not measuring success by our wen-toss record, but rather by how much improvement we've made," said Miller. "We've got a very good group of freshmen." A freshman group that is led by Jenny Kassing. Kassing, a two-time All-Northwest selection in high school, has led the team in 3-poinl shooting (38%), rebounding (7.S), and is second in scoring (13.2) and steals (1.9). "[Having ten freshmen] doesn't affect us, because we've grown together and learned each other's playing style," Kassing said. Kassing, however, does admit to the Ranger's troubles in the post. "We're weak in the post, so we've had problems boxing out. But we have strong players like Amy Hurlebaus. We make-up [for the weaknesses] with our power and speed," added Kassing. The team's post dilemma is no secret to Miller and she is on her way 10 filling the void. "We've been out-rebounded, especially at the end of garnes. But we have three post-players signed or verbally committed for next season," Miller said. The Rangers have been painfully close to winning games all season. Nine of their losses have come in the last two Heather Bogenschneider Kassing added 15 points and 11 rebounds. Rangers shocked by Northland Baptist The University of wisconsinParkside men's basketball team dropped a 80474 decision to Northland Baptist Bible College (NBBC) Friday night at the Physical Education Building on the UW-Parkside campus. The loss drops the Rangers to 12-12 on the season. UW-Parkside built a 14 point halftime lead, 43-29, and led by as many as 16 in the second half before NBBC began closing the gap. The score was 57-44 in the second half with I I :33 left in the game when NBBC went on a 14-0 run to lead 57- 58 with 7:25 left. The game was dose the rest of Ihe way with NBBC pulling away at the end by making their free throws. The Rangers were led by Levi Bradley who scored 26 points and hauled down 18 rebounds. Thadd Jacobs scored 19 and Craig Evans had 14 for the Rangers. No other UWMP player scored more than four points. NBBC closed the gap in the second half on the strength of 63% shooting while UW-P went cold shooting just 32% from the floor in the second half. The Rangers will next be in action this Sunday when they host IUPl]- Indianapolis at 1:30 pm.

THE MOST RECOGNIZED NAME In Case You Missed It IN PROFESSIONAL DRY CLEANING This last weekend he held on to win the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in Indian Wells, Ca. No Joy in Mudville: No Baseball either. Talks in the baseball farce (I mean strike) mayor may not occur this week. In the meantime preparations continue for some sort of a season with men willing to play for other men who aren't. Detroit manager (for the time being) Sparky Anderson is refusing to manage the Tigers. He most likely will not have a job when the strike is over (assuming it ever is). Oriole owner Peter Angelos may lose his club because he refuses to field a team. Phillie Lenny Dykstra found out that speaking your mind does not count in the players union. Now he is sufficently supportative of his cry-baby brethren in the union. I hope when and if these prima donna's ever take to the diamond again they are roundly booed and hooted back into the dugout.

Nelson Miss Blair was a Bonnie Lass: Wisconsin's own Bonnie Blair put on a speed skating exhibtion in West Allis last weekend. She won all four of the races she was in. Bonnie Blair has won five olympic gold medals. This was her last speed skating appearance in the U. S. She will retire from competition after the World Cup finals next month in Calgary. Who's in First: Having both women's and men's basketball teams number one in the polls did not last long. Connecticut men were on the losing end of a 96- 73 score at home against Villanova. The result is that Kansas is now number one. Doing it Again: Sterling Marlin won his second consecutive Daytona 500 yesterday.

The Dramatic Arts Departmen t and the Division of Student Affai rs are working jOintly with a new campus group whose purpose is to foster understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity. Participants are trained in social action techniques and are involved in the development of skits illustrating real-life instances of discrimination or acts of insensitivity. Once developed into brief life-story skits, they will be presented to classes, student organizations, and community groups. Actor/audience interaction and facilitated discussion will help to heighten cultural awareness and understanding of cultural differences on campus. The Goals of Social Action: o To foster understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity o To strengthen the climate of respect and trust for all campus groups o To increase campus tolerance through education What Skills are Needed? Participants are not expected to be drama majors or experienced in theatre. All that is needed are a genuine willingness to become involved and a desire to make a positive difference. Participants will go through special training in all the techniques they will be expected to utilize in Social Action Theatre. In What Ways Can I Be Involved? , , There are several ways to become involved in Social Action Theatre. You may choose to assist in the writing of scripts and the development/training of a troupe of role players. Those interested in pertorming before groups may wish to become role players.

Smith, came to an end - finishing a nation-wide comprehensive search for a UW-Parkside Vice Chancellor/Provih'il. Of this search, over 135 applications were received, and the chair of this search, David J. Wright, associate professor of finance, was relieved to have the search go as well as it did. "Acting on behalf of the University," states the committee's mission statement, "the Committee will present to the Chancellor a slate of candidates for the position of Vice Chancellor/Provost who possess the skills, qualifications, and values necessary to serve and significantly advance the University's mission." Again, Wright was very pleased with the progress of the committee and looked forward towards the future months. "They worked very hard," he said, Their collective goal began in November to fulfill this mission. Phase one was to construct a job description position for the position of Vice Chancellor. They then various advertisements in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Black Issues in Higher Education, Women's Review of Books, and Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, implementing a recruitment plan to produce a rich, diverse pool of qualified candidates. "Diversity," Wright said, is the "very key to our university." Among the professional and personal qualifications requested, was "a strong academic background with an earned terminal degree," appropriate administrative experience including experience in program planning and budgetary management," and possessing "strong oral, written, analytical, and interpersonal skills." In addition to the university's advertising and personal networking, direct mail announcements were sent to 2,200 organizations. Among them were Presidents, Chancellors, and Vice Chancellors of Wisconsin colleges and universities, independent of the UW system or not, members of Black, Hispanic, and Women's Caucuses, and the American Association of Universities. In phase two, the screening of these applicants are taking place - discussing with each candidate their background, re-evaluating their qualifications, and telephoning their references to check their credibility. This Crime comes to Phy Ed Building UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE February 16. 1995 process is still in motion, and will continue until phase three is completed - when a Vice Chancellor or Provost, chief academic officer, is finally picked for UW-Parkside. Wright hopes that after Spring Break, he will have a narrower list of candidates that will be able to visit the campus. This would give the students an opportunity to ask the candidates questions and to get to know them. Wright is among the thirteen other members of Parks ide's faculty, students, and even individuals such as Greg Anderegg, manager of Community Relations Worldwide for S.C.

The addressed a small audience. They shared their stories on February 13 in Union 104. "I nternship is everything," said Roscoe Chambers, a 1976 graduate in psychology. "One thing that distinguishes [applicants] is whether ;r. not they have prior experience," aid Chambers, who now owns an employment agency. Chambers and Associates in Kenosha. Chambers did TIOlOpt for graduate school because he ~host: t~ earn money to raise a family. Y giVing him a year's pay after he left, Chambers said that J. I. Case provided him with the opportunity to start his own business. - There is "a crisis of minorities in State [of Wisconsin] employment," said Dannie Actkins, who now works for the State of Wisconsin training people to look for employ~~nt. Because the crime numbers are nsmg, minorities are being encouraged to apply for state jobs in the crimin~l justice system. As a result, Kenosha IS being mandated to hire mo~e minorities. A 1978 alumna In psychology, education, and soctology, Actkins finds that her background IS very beneficial. "For 16 years y:e worked for the State of Wisconsin m some capacity or other. Experience is very important. The fact that you are doing something, that. y~u are motivated, involved, this IS very important," she said. Janet Days said that the m?st significant factor in her quick placement after graduation was her internship. Taking advantage of the internship opportunities at Parkside "really paid off," Days said. In addition to Days, a 1990 graduate in sociology, the other members of the panel were Jerry Baldwin, Jr., a 1987 graduate in mechanical engineering; and Charles Raine, a ]992 graduate in economics. So, bow do you find the job of your dreams? Baldwin said that he made opportunities for himself because he he learned quickly, making himself more valuable. "There were great opportunities in my job that were not initially apparent. Lots of things I didn't think I'd do," he said. One member of the audience, Margaret Wright said it was great that the alumni came back for the discussion. "It was a good panel," Wright said. New senators announced Noose hung over student's bed it has been said that McClellend had hung a noose over the beds of roommates that he had in the past. Triplet! felt especially threatened because he saw the incident as racially motivated. Triplett is upset that "the other incidents in the past involving Steve [McClellend] were looked over and the situations worsened." He had reported difficulties about his roommate since last semester. At present Triplett has been removed from his room with McClellend and placed into another unit. What Triplett requests is that his former roommate (McClellend) be removed from housing and Matt Hechel, the R.A. aware of the situations, be ousted from his position. He asks also that the Administrative Offices of housing be trained in how to deal with racial and potentially hostile issues that impact on the students' living environment.

As Vice President of the Hispanic Organization of Parks ide (HOP), Eddie is currently involved with a support group for Hispanic teenagers at Case High School in Racine.

"I wish to bring to your attention an incident that shocked me, made me very upset, and had me in fear of my life," Triplett wrote in a letter to Steve McLaughlin, dean of students. In addition to the noose hanging over his bed, Triplett found a note that he considered threatening on his dresser. It is alleged that his roommate, Steve McClellend, is responsible for both incidents. There was another occasion in which Triplett felt less than secure in his living situation with McCleliend. In the living room of their unit hung a poster with a note on it which read, "two down. but one to go." The poster had arrows directed at two African American males who lived in the unit Intern positions at local and national agencies will be available through a program at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

Tuition is no bargain, study finds UW-Parkside, Carthage address need for teachers of color A study of UW System tuition rates shows that UW System tuition is already near the median of peer institutions, not below the median as previous studies have shown. The study, conducted by the United Council of UW Student Governments, is based on data released last week by the UW System Administration, which compared the UW System to other university systems. The study shows that average four-year in-state UW tuition is very near the median of peer systems. The UW System average 1994-95 tuition is $4.895, and the low is the University of Texas system at $1,458. "This study debunks the misconception that UW tuition is lower than it should be. Our tuition is very close the median. salaries are at the median, and administrative costs are below the median. students are paying their fair share." said David C. Stacy, President of United Council. The study also shows that Wisconsin has much higher out- of-state tuition than most other states. While tuition is near the median of peer institutions, high out-of-state tuition is keeping in- state tuition below the average. At four-year UW System institutions. out-of-state tuition is more than $700 above the median. The average UW System out-of- state tuition is $5,003 compared to the median of $4.290. "The Board of Regents has clearly had a policy of raising tuition levels for out-of-state students to keep tuition levels lower for in-state. This policy improves access for Wisconsin residents," Stacy said. The UW System study also found that the cost of educating students in the UW System is significantly lower than the average among peer systems. "Education costs are lower in Wisconsin than in other states. It is because we have been more efficient here in Wisconsin that our tuition levels are not as high as systems such as the University of Massachusetts system and the Pennsylvania State University system," Stacy said. in grades 1-6 in schools in southeastern Wisconsin. Under the new agreement the University of Wisconsin Extension has agreed to provide funding for faculty beyond those supported by Carthage or UW- Parkside. Additionally. Carthage agrees to enroll students from northern Illinois as part of its evening program to provide a more financially feasible arrangement for out-of-state students. Appropriate offices on each campus will work together to facilitate admissions, financial assistance and scholarships. To enroll in the program. individuals must have a bachelor's degree. Students in the program complete six modules offered over an academic year and summer. The professional education program is taught by teacher education faculty at both UW- Parkside and Carthage College, as well as master teachers from area school districts.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document volume 23, Issue 18 Parkside responds to tragedy by Karen Diehl News Editor Carol Lee Saffioti-Hughes, Professor of English and Associate Chair of the English Department at UW-Parkside, is currently recovering from the Jan. 31 car accident which injured her and killed her z.year-old daughter. Safficti-Hughes suffered broken ribs and a broken collar bone and is still in intensive care at Doyne Hospital in Milwaukee. The accident occurred at the intersection of Ryan Road and 27th Street in Franklin. Saffioti-Hughes was taking her daughter, Autumn, to child care before reporting to work. The accident occurred at 7:40 am when her car, westbound on Ryan Road, collided with a minivan travelling south on 27th street. Saffioti-Hughes has been through surgery to repair her broken bones. Her recovery time is expected to be short, perhaps 2-3 weeks. She remains in ICU, and will probably be there until early next week. Until that time, people are urged to refrain from calling the hospital. The UW-Parkside community has begun responding to Carol Lee's tragedy. A memorial fund is to be set up at Children's Hospital in Autumn's name, as is another fund through Educator's Credit Union. Students in Dr. Safficti- Hughes' Advanced Expository Writing class are sending cards and poems reflecting their support and sympathy. Tanya Melendez, a student in the class, said, "l thought it was important for us to get together and show her our thoughts are with her." Other students on campus have expressed similar feelings. The Parks ide Student Government Association sent a card to Dr. Saffioti-Hughes. Jennifer Buchholz, President of PSGA, said, "As we all know, this was a tragic incident. I think I speak for all students in wishing her a quick recovery. I also send my deepest sympathies in her loss. I hope she knows how much this event has impacted the students. Our thoughts and prayers are with her." Ted Hughes, Carol Lee's Husband, has expressed that cards and notes will be great morale boosters.

Marable says, 'Multiculturalism pays! by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer Before a group of students, staff, and other community members, Dr. Manning Marable, Director of Columbia University's Institute for Research in African American Studies, spoke on the topic of campus racism Tuesday January 31 in Parkside's Union 104. In his lecture, entitled "Blueprint for Uprooting Discrimination in America's Colleges, Marable asserted that an appreciation of history is important because "it gives us a sense of who we are ...this special consciousness lets us know who we really are." Marable noted that most students aren't given a good cultural balance in their education. "You are culturally deficient if you don't read African American literature," Marable stated, "or studyAfrican American sociologists." One form of prejudice that Marable noted as prevalent on many campuses is that which deals with assumptions about scholarships. "Only two percent of all scholarships are designated for African Americans in the United States," he stated. Marable said that- many non-minority students believe that a great number of scholarships are designated for African American students. "Many argue that scholarships for minority students is a form of reverse discrimination," Marable stated. Marable used the example of legacy scholarships which are earmarked for the sons of Harvard University graduates. An astonishing forty-four percent of those admitted to Harvard are financed with the aid of legacy dollars. "Only when scholarships are awarded to African Americans or Latinos do we see a problem." A sweeping trend that Marable notices on college campuses across the U.S. is a growing pattern of discrimination. "What we see is a growth of institutional discrimination." The immense decrease in the number of young students of color in our inner city who aren't receiving an adequate I education is one of the items that Marable cites as unfortunate. He stated that this is attributable to "the new segregation between the educated haves, and the semi-educated have nots.' "Racism is an invisible tax against the labor power, creativity, and intellect of people of color," Marable stated when detailing the different forms of poverty. Regarding financial poverty he stated that most of the individuals who live in poverty are not people of color. Marable said that the problems of the 1990's are far more sophisticated. "We need to understand that the challenges ahead require a different vision," he said. As a political activist and social critic, Marable stated, "we must have the courage to search for common ground to advance toward ideals of a democracy without discrimination." Manning Marable He stated that we have to build a new kind of leadership. Marable, who writes a nationally published column entitled "Along the Color Line," said in his speech that "the historic color line will be reversed for African Americans." This notion of reversal relates to his ideas about the post-modern discourse presently in effect which is essentiaJIy racism without responsibility. "To relate to people you need to know something about their history and their culture," he stated. Without these components he says that two individuals cannot have an honest conversation. One final thought that Dr. Marable expressed was, "muliculturalism pays." UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.PARKSIDE February 9, 1995 Multicultural education a priority by Pamela Bradshaw Staff Writer , .... ~.::.., The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs in conjunction with the Ethnic Studies Center received a $2000 grant from the UW System to fund a Faculty Development in Multicultural Education Program. The grant was awarded to accomplish the goals in the Design for Diversity Program. The money will be split between five courses submitted by instructors. Two courses all ready accepted are a class in Cross- Cultural Psychology and a business course entitled ''The Changing Workplace." According to Anthony Brown, Director of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, the purpose of the grant is to "get faculty members that do not have courses that are under the diversity requirement involved in the Design for Diversity and enhance their 'course.' The professors who receive the grants can use to funding to go to a conference, buy a computer program for a class, buy more books and reading materials or anything that fulfills the goals of the Design for Diversity program. The Design for Diversity program, started in 1988 by the then President Shaw of the Uw-System. was created to increase the presence of American Indian, African American, Asian American and LatinolHispanic students, faculty and staff in UW institutions. "Generally we have met all of the goals for Design for Diversity," Brown stated, also citing that Parkside has the second highest percentage of minority students in the UW system. UW-Milwaukee has the highest percentage. "We fortunately have received many grants from different areas over the last five years," said Brown. The current grant is the second received from the UW -System. -The office was also awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council that is being used to fund speakers. Two presentations were given last semester and two more will take place this April. One of the speakers will be discussing Chinese Culture and its relation to dance and tradition. The free lecture will take place on April 21 following the Multicultural Center's awards ceremony. More information will be announced regarding the lectures as the dates grow nearer. Brown feels that cultural education is important for students entering a work force much more diverse than it was twenty years ago. "If we could get every department to have one course in diversity, then that would really open up the world to all the students on campus." Chancellor's inaugural activities by Pamela Bradshaw Staff Writer "University and Community: Moving Together into the 21 st Century" will be the theme for the inauguration ofPaI'kside's fourth Chancellor, Eleanor 1. Smith. The inauguration will be held on Saturday, April 1,_ at J 0 am in the Communication Arts Theater. Following the inauguration will be a reception and luncheon in Main Place. Other weekend activities will include a presentation of Chancellor Smith's work on Friday, March 31, and a University open house on Saturday, April 1, from 1:30to 3:30pm. The Friday presentation will be a concert written by Chancellor Smith entitled "Black Heritage: History, Music and Dance." The music will be from various periods of black history. It will be directed by Professor James Kinchen and performed by members of the UW-Parkside community and its environs. "I've always performed the concerts so it will be nice to see what somebody else does with it and I can sit there and look at it being performed and that will be very exciting," said Chancellor Smith, about the performance. The open house on Saturday will have displays, demonstrations and activities presented by the different departments, centers and programs at the University. Among the displays will be the architectural design for the proposed expansion of the physical education and housing buildings. Chancellor Smith encourages students to attend the inauguration because she thinks "they are a very important part of the community." The Chancellor states that one of her goals is "to open up this institution to the community and say we are a part of this community and you are a part of us." All the events will be free except for the luncheon which will cost $8 per person. The luncheon is subsidized by the university, but it couldn't cover the entire cost. Students will need to pick up tickets for the inauguration because space is limited. When and where the tickets will be available will be announced at a later time. iifK~. Calendar - p. 5 thlete of the Week . 6. • Stop the violence Grant pays for artists seen by him knowing where the woman goes, when. and with whom - sometimes why. She explained that the second stage of becoming a battered woman is done through emotions. A "constant mirage of verbal abuse" grows in time and it "affects a shift of thinking," she observed. "I don't care who you are, ... if I lock you up with someone who calls you names, he'll destroy your soul," she said. Carpenter told the audience that domestic violence is taught, for example, in literature. She noted that there are books which foster the notion that if a woman loves a troubled man and helps him, he'll change for the better. This notion, Carpenter explained, is as harmful as the tradition that places the needs of the husband and child first before her own according to Carpenter. It frustrated Carpenter that in the last thirty years, domestic violence has not changed, and that people only take notice of its magnitude "after we see some woman's dead and bloody body on TV." Carol Engberg, volunteer coordinator of Parkside's volunteer program was also present. She spoke of a collaboration of the Women's Horizon's Inc., Kenoshans Against Sexual Assault (KASA), and Carpenter's Domestic Violence Project to offer training to become a shelter supervisor for battered women, and advocate assistant, or a children's program assistant. The days and times of this training is at Kenosha Hospital in the auditorium from February 14.thru March 9 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-9:00 pm. For more information, Engberg told the audience to call her at 595-2011 or come into the Career Center in Wyllie Hall, D175. art programs which represent the various disciplines of the performing arts, is culturally diverse, and meets the needs of the Kenosha, Racine, and Uw-Parkside communities."

Ans Midwest puts human and financial resources towards enriching arts experiences for Midwestern residents. By designing, developing, and delivering high quality funding programs, publications, and training, Arts Midwest accomplishes this goal. by Brian Matsen Staff Writer At noon on Feb. I in Union 104, Colleen Carpenter, program coordinator for the Domestic Violence Project in Kenosha, spoke on "Stopping Domestic Violence" - beginning one of seven various Soup & Substance Lectures, sponsored by the Parkside Activities Board and the Lecture and Fine Arts Committee. Carpenter, working with battered women for the past ten years and an activist in the women's movement for a previous seven to eight years, began with an observation. "On some level. we are all battered women," she said. She asked that we consider typical high school bullies or other people who tended to control situations. She stated that the behavior exhibited by these people is all about power. She also asserted that power without responsibility is dangerous. Carpenter urged that "if I communicate nothing else [during this talk. it] is not to fall in love with someone who batters you." She was sad to inform the audience that battered women who exhibit low self-esteem have been placed in a system that is labeled as "others." She also said that this label is first ushered upon the women by isolation. Carpenter went on to explain that "She" gives up parts of her life to make the husband happy. "She" stdps hanging around friends and acquaintances who her husband. doesn't like. "She" tries as hard as she can to please him. but it is never enough or she is doing something wrong. Carpenter stated that the woman always falls short of his expectations, and that this is done purposefully. "Batterers are like addicts," Carpenter said ~ never satisfied. The husband's amount of control is by Brian Matsen Staff Writer On behalf of Parkside's Activity Board (PAB), Diane Welsh, the assistant director of student life and director of university activities, recently applied for a grant from Arts Midwest. By her initiative, the Accent on Enrichment series at Parkside has received a $960 grant from this institution. This funding will directly cover touring artist and performance fees. Welsh observed that the Accent on Enrichment has been around since the 1%9 founding of Uw-Parksioe. The series was originally entitled, The Lecture Fine Arts Series, and it has always been a part of Parkside. The program's primary focus has been diversity. "The mission of the Uw-Parkside Accent on Enrichment Series," Welsh said, "is to present a high quality series of performing Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens to perfonn saxophones, drums, electrical guitars, and a synthesizer. The group has displayed their talent throughout the world, including Europe, Japan, and Australia, as the Queens have performed choreographed dance routines with their harmonies and by the mighty sound of Mahlathini 's characteristic voice, which is said to resemble a lion's roar. To hear these international artists costs $5.50 for UW-P students and $11 forthe general public. "There's no other experience in pop music quite like it," wrote The Washington Post. by Brian Matsen Staff Writer • South African pop group, Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, will be performing Feb. 8 at 7 pm in the Communication Arts Theater. This high energy group. formed in the I960s, dresses in colorful Zulu costumes and performs "mbaquanga" music. By mixing traditional African rhythms, street music, and international pop, "Queens" has been best known for their infectious music and rhythms that center on pulsating guitars, Volunteer of the Week pleased with Andrea's service. She stated, "We need I0 more volunteers like Andrea. She comes to school regardless of the weather and is doing wonders with the children. She is totally committed to helping them succeed. One of my teachers said, 'She's a God-send.'" Andrea, thinking philosophically, reports, "Everyone needs to have a dream whether it be to overcome the ' devastation of a crippling disease or the frustration of a math problem. Dreams are what keep us trying even when everything seems to go downhill. Part of my dream is to help others attain theirs." Thanks, Andrea, for creating less frustration in the world and helping dreams come true.

He expects to be active in the field of management accounting doing writing and research. Arthur Con Mateo Mackbee, Peer Health Educator and captain of the team sponsoring the event, states that there will be new activities this year and old activities that won't be continued. "This year we're going to try to put together at least two panels that have college specific facts about STD's and alcohol related incidents." A dance won't be held this year because of time restraints. Condom roses won't be sold either. Last year the Peer Health Educators made the roses themselves which took a Jot of time. The condom roses were later patented. When Mackbee was asked how well he thought the program worked towards educating students he replied, "I think it works as a whole ...just for them to see all the brochures and the Well ness on Wheels gets their minds thinking if it's just for one day." Mackbee believes that having the program on Valentine's Day increases student's awareness, "It usually is a good turnout because people have love on their minds." Mackbee also states that, ''It helps to have candy and people will always come to get condoms." ''There are a variety of people who come to the table and ask questions and take brochures," Mackbee stated. The- program is "aimed at all the students but mostly the traditional age students."

Brochures explaining what UC does and why Park s ide should be a member were passed out to students in the L-I level of Greenquist. United Council President, David Stacy was one of (he delegates present.

Her words began this year's tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. entitled "Remember His Dream," held noon Wednesday, Jan 25, in Main Place. The event consisted of music, poetry, speeches, and applause. In Jackson's introduction of this commemorative, she cautioned the audience not to just follow King's advisive dream that day, but to continue further, his dream in the generations to come. "His dream is possible," she said. The program lasted forty-fi ve minutes. The Voices of Parkside and the Parkside Chorale, under the direction of Dr. James Kinchen, sang two selections which celebrate African-American themes. The first piece was entitled "Ujima," and the latter was called "Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning." Dr. Kinchen, in reference to the second song, said, "In other words, be ready ..' He said that this song is a spiritual song. "Christian journey soon be over; the time is drawing nigh," is a line from the song that illustrated the urgency of racial harmony. "I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it," said Faith Augustine, after stating that she was asked to sjng Glenn E. Burleigh's piece. "I love the song because it expresses exactly what we need to know - not necessarily as one group of people, but as the world." She said in reference to the song, "It's not just color, it's the whole world. You know, Brian, we've talked. It's collective work." n c,' Yolanda Jackson, co-cbairperson of tbe Black History Month Committee, speaks to the crowd gathered for a program Wednesday, Jan 25, in Main place in tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Racine, described equality between students and teachers - addressing discrimination at a smaller level. "Students should be innocent until proven guilty," she said as she read from her "Living the Dream Essay," This finalist ended her speech. saying "I have a dream, that children will be treated as adults someday," Mackbee spoke of Martin Luther King Jr's life attributes - eight major campaigns for equal rights, marching over I OO-mi lcs, and achieving the Nobel Peace Pri/.e - and himself. "In my eyes," Ma~khcc said, "he [Dr. King] is tht: most important civil rights leader." This year's Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoralive ended with applause and a schedule from Rachelle Hart, chairperson of the Black History Month Commitlee, of upcoming events in February for Black History Month. She noted that if everyone sees what everyone has in common with everyone instead of differences, people would get along. A verse and the driving theme of "Ujima" is that "it takes a village to make a man." Mark Lewis, a student of Parkside, recited two poems - "Shadows in the Darkness" and "My People:' Each poem stressed a powerful theme that should be observed closer. In "My People," Lewis warned the audience of low self- esteem, indicating that it causes violence, and then said that if people have high self-esteem, they will also have high estecm for one another - eventually coming together. A quote from the poem reads, "If some of us don't get our act togeLher, we will lose our existence ... My people, get it together, and we must get it right." In his first poem, Lewis talked of existence, but in ignorance: 'There's no difference in the total darkness," began the first line.

I I Valentine's Day Program • 1:.~ ""'Of'" N" ~ EWS February 2, 1995,:t 0' , , Recycling The Parkside Union and Dining Services are asking for the cooperation of everyone on campus regarding the new statewide recycling laws that went into effect as of Jan. I, 1995. "All previous attempts at recycling were just warm-ups .or this· the real thing," according to Bill Niebhur, Director of the Parkside Union. Niebbur explained that the campus waste stream and compliance to the new law will be monitored by our trash and recyclable contractor, Go of Wisconsin/Land Reclamation Company ,LRC) of Racine. According to Neibhur there are two alernents to the food service area \·ec'y~ling problem. The first is to simply get people to do it according to the signs .hat h~ve been provided. That is, to take the r\rhc to separate items and put them in their appropriate containers. The second -s to make sure non-rccyclables do not get In with those items that are acceptable .ur rec ycli ng . This is called .ccntami nation. If there is too much contamination in the recyclables picked tip for processing, the trash collector has {he legal right {Q bring the load back to "he campus and dump it for proper separation of products.

At UW- Park side, the process has heen made much easier. with separation by item type being done :.II the recycling contractor's site. Commingling of products is by far the least complicated way of recycling. Bill Neihbur As the law also went into effect for home owners, renters, businesses, etc, on Jan. I, there was a heightened general awareness of recycling which made it easier 10 happen on campus. The biggest difference in cum pus recycling and what a person is doing at home lies in the type of products thai can go into the commingled mix Most communities will only accept plastics labeled 1 and 2 (numbers appearing on the bottom of containers within a small triangle.) At UW-Parksidc, all plastics numbered I through 7 are acceptable, as are plastic bags. A second difference is that polystyrene or Styrofoam is recyclable on campus. This category of products was given a one year extension from the current law due to a lack of sources to sell it to. However, as more secondary recycling uses for Styrofoam become a reality, it will soon be added to Volunteer Opportunities Domestic Violence Programs in Kenosha Offer Training.
