On March 9-10, students acrosscampus will be voting on whether or not to support a refer- endum which is expected to cost each student an additional $B.OO per semester (a grand total of 5700,000 from the students). "A 'yes' vote is essential to our abili- ty tD move forward with this majoraddition to the campus, II said Interim Chancellor john C. Stockwell. The expansion will cost about $9.25 million. The State, If it approves construction, willrequire that 15% of that amount be raised from "private" SOUrces, or about $1.4 million, SIockwell added. "I am very pleased to note that at least half ($700,000) of that $1.4 million will be raised from volunteer donors in the Racin.,;Kenosha COUnties who see the need for this facility and the benefits it Willbring to the students, to the University's academic and athlet- Icprograms, and to the region," he said. According to Stockwell, the current condition of the PElAthletics Building is far below the standard. "It's a well main- tained dump. It is simply far below the standard. ft was Undersized from the very begin- ning and we knew that, and it is time that we had a facility that is up to the standard of our cam- pus," he said. 'The students are going to be proud of this greatiy expanded facility. It will be a building that we will be extreme- ly proud of." We run the best cross-country in the nation and we shou Id have the same for ou r facilities, he added. B.j. Brucker and Tracy Pees are two students who represented the student body on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion. 111 was very excited about the possible expan- sion. As a student athlete, I know that it is needed. It's also needed for instructional and recreational purposes. From the student athlete perspective, the gym is always crowded," said Tracy Pees, Parkside senior and sports athlete. "We have prac- tices at 9:00 at night and also at 6:00 in the morning. When you get home from practice at mid- night, it's really hard to study. It ruins your day having to practice ali of the time. I know I may not be here to see it and to use it. But I know that each student wi II benefit from it/' she said. Pees stated that the current PE B.J. BRUCKER facility is not large enough to accommodate the large student body that we have here on cam- pus. «There are not enough hours in the day for everyone to use our facility," she said. Pees plays softball and the team must prac- tice in the wresding room where the batting cage is located. "We cannot use it when the wrestlers are practicing. We can't use the room an hour before because the wrestlers must have their mat cleaned. The baseball players also use the same mat and so do the cheerleaders during practice. This is a room with mats where these wrestlers are supposed to roll around on. The dirt gets into the mats and into their skin and it is just disgusting," she said. TRACY PECS Pecs said that the track and field teams are also affected by the current conditions of the PE faci lity. "I know that the track and field team have to come at 6:00 in the morning to run indoors, especially when it is too cold to run outside. They do this early in the morning so that they do not get hit by things flying around during the day." She fur- ther explained that all teams-> baseball, softbali, basketball teams--all have to practice at night. II And when the soccer team uses the gym, they use almost all of the space. Parkside also has a big intramural basket- ball program which requires all the basketball courts at once. When this goes on, nothing else can go on. All of these events are just an inconvenience to the students." According to Pees, a non-ath- lete can also benefit from the new expansion. "The field house, which is the bulk of the addition, is hug<>-multi-purpose floors and dividers. This space can be used for non-athletic activities such as conventions, car shows, and any extracurricu- lar actlvitles." Tracy Pecs believes that the additional $8.00 a semester, over a twenty year time period, is not a burden for students. "If you think about it $8.00 a semester is not much. A majority of students that attend Parks ide, and who live in Kenosha and Racine, will benefit from this new expansion. It will benefit both communities." B.j. Brucker, the other student on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion, stated that "the university very much needs a new expansion physical education building. it is simply inadequate for the general students." Brucker was a soccer player during his first years here continU8d on pg 2 BRIDGETTE JOHNSON BRIDGETTE JOHNSON, MINORITY RECRUITER SPECIALIST by Reynaido Belmares Bridgette is 1993 UW-Parkside graduate and is now worki ng at the University as a Minority Recruiter/Specialist. She has been employed since October, 1993. "To begin working here towards the end of the semester was a challenge, because I only had five days of training and after that I was on my own. The fall semes- ter is the time when the majority of recruiting is done and many counselors were not around. She added, "I had to basically learn a lot on my own. It was not as difficult as Ithought it would be because Iwent to school here and knew a lot of things about the University already. if I was not a graduate of this University, Ithink it would have been much harder to adjust." Bridgette's job is to recruiter minority students from high school. She works in the Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Madison, Illinois and Minnesota areas. UIreally enjoy my job, because I have the opportu nity to work with students/ states johnson, UBybeing a minority and young, I can relate to the many issues the students may come in contact with. I like the traveling part of the job, but one disadvantage the University has is its housing. We are limited to this area to recruit from, because we have no where to put stu- dents from out of the area, once they are accepted, so why recruit far away. I am glad that the University is taking into consider- ation to build more housing; this will give us the opportunity to get students enrolled from other areas and more students from the areas we are dealing with now." At the present time, johnson is a LTE(limited term employee), and the job will be come open sometime in May. Her term will last throughout june. When she took the position she was aware that the job was only limited. The reason being is the previous employee (Terri Greathouse) had quit and moved to Texas. The University had to place someone in the position for the rest of the school year. They did not have time for the search and screen process until the end of the acad- emic school year and Terri was unable to finish the term. "I thought the opportunity would be great and Iwill definitely apply for the position when it comes up, because I really love my job. I like helping others. I want them to know the opportu- nities we do have and to tell them 'do not to let any opportu- nity pass them up', because we have to continue bettering our- selves and education is the best way. 2 / \ COMBA nVES CENTER """Uleuo"', .....f;.fl.OlaIC Fl.rlo.JE.'r ~~Ii) r----- FIELD HOUSE \ , I i I i I I i :1 ~===== NEW RAOUETBALL COURTS ~·~7 <, \ " CIQ.lS",OO""'.l/ \.......,...7/ c..o ... c.e..\~,OI\'/ P..b 1;(. ro.l.JT Lo~~ fLt;:I~ ....... _4=====,U'"'1 -==:..... __ ..J'''"IJ Th:0""r::f - I 8 I I I \ " ~ W - PARKSIDE ROPOSED PHYSICAL EDUCATION FACILITY EXPANSION 's. ~. i ._-- NEW CONSTRUCTION -.:,.. ~ EXISlWQ BULOlNG STUDENTS DECIDE, FROM PG. 1 by Steven Moore, Editor-in-Chlef Throughout this semester, sev- eral administrators and students have continued negotiations with the UW System and the State for construction of a major expan- sion to our PE/Athletics BUilding.

Brucker, the other student on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion, stated that lithe university very much needs a new expansion physical education building. It is simply inadequate for the general students." Brucker was a soccer player during his first years here at Parkside. 'And we had to practice in the evenings from 10 till 12 during the off season. Just because of the gym is filled with classes, filled with intramural, filled with practices all day-irs just never open. The space is inadequate for the large amount of students here," he said. Brucker stated that during his first years he also noticed that the weight room was not suitable for students. 'When I first came here, I discovered that the weight room was terrible. I also noticed that Parkside did not have a suit- able field house. I went to a high school of 500 students and we had better equipment than Parkside." Brucker further stated that this new athletic building is not only a building for athletes. 'The purpose is multi-purpose use that will benefit the entire university as a whole," he added.

United Council: Not What You Think Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document United Council: Not What You Think United Council delegates Dana Larsen and Matt Specht compare notes BOARD OF REGENTS DISCUSS ISSUES OF EDUCATION by Operations Manager Jeffrey Weniger and Editor-in-Chief Steven Moore still emphasize and place quality as our primary goal. Lyall further stated how important it is to pro- vide students with an educational experience in a "timely fashion." Students must also receive rea- sonable access to classes, library resources, student housing, acad- emic advising, counseling, and financial assistance. Her speech discussed ways of increasing enrollment by reach- ing out to more people outside of the community, especially to high school graduates and return- ing adult students. All UW- System universities can increase enrollment provided that the quality of education is not jeop- ardized, she added. Nit we con- tinue this, colleges and institu- tions around the nation will fol- low our lead and example." The Education Committee pro- posed a resolution (Assumptions and Principles For Enrollment Management ill-Planning Toward The Year 2000) addressing the steadily increasing high school students that have reached a his- toric high of 32 percent. A main principle of the resolution stated that "a proportion of projected enrollment demand will be accommodated without addition- al resources only when educa- tional quality is not jeopardized. When faced with a choice between maintaining educational quality within budgetary con- straints or providing access for students, the priority will be on quality." . The resolution also stated that "beginning in 1995, the number of high school graduates is pro- jected to increase steadily to the end of the century and beyond. A third phase of Enrollment Management, planning to the continued on pg 2 On Thursday, February 10, the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System held the first meeting of the year to discuss several resolutions, policies, and principles which will affect students, professors, and administrators at all UW- branches. UW-Parkside Interim Chancellor John Stockwell, Interim Provost/vice Chancellor Howard Cohen, and student John Stockwell Steven Moore attended the Education Committee which began with comments from the UW-System President Katherine Lyall. She stated how important and crucial it isto involve the students, parents, legislators, chancellors, faculty, and admin- iSlrators alike in "stretching the quality of education beyond the normal realms." With budget and financial con- I straints, Lyall continued, we must by Matthew Specht Assistant Feature Editor Every two years, the student body is presented with a referen- dum on the ballot. In this referen- dum, students decide whether or not to remain members of United Council. If the student body votes to be members, a seventy-five cent membership fee is added to you r semester bill. So what exacdy is United Council? Their latest constitution- al draft defines themselves as a "coalition of student governments whose purpose is representation of the rights and educational issues of UW System students through active involvement at all levels of government" To putthatin English, u.c. makes sure UW students know what's going on in state govern- ment as well as representing us. They meet roughly once a month, and Parkside tries to send seven voti ng delegates every time. Friday evenings, the sepa- rate committees meet Saturday mornings, the General Assembly meets. This weekend, there was an opening in the delegation, and I was fortunate enough to be able to go along. The rest of the dele- gation consisted of Eric Bovee, PSGA President (Presidents' Committee); Deb Cutler, PSGA senator (Executives' Committee); Mike Schaefer, PSGA senator (Academic Affairs Committee); Jennifer Buchholz (Women's Issues Committee); Dana Larsen, PSGA senator (Legislative Affairs Committee); and Mike Bovee (Shared Governance Committee). I admit that at first, I was apprehensive. A senator had given me the distinct impression earlier in the week that UW-P representation was of secondary importance on these trips; the real reason for going along was to get as drunk as possible. Well, my fretting was in vain. Instead of loud, obnoxious par- ties iasting through the night, groups of people gathered in hotel lobbies and corridors while discussing current issues. These students were intent on changing the UW system for the better- people actually cared and got involved. Friday night, i attended the Multicultural Affairs Committee. I was du Iy impressed by the fervor with which statistics were reviewed and decisions were made. Likewise, the General Assembly-although muddied by loads of political mumbo- jumbo-was filled to the rafters with people who jumped into what they were doing with ener- gy and optimism. One thing kept bothering me, though. Does UW-Parkside's stu- dent body know what's going on? Do they even care? The answer appears to be no, but it should be yes. Prepare to be informed. A resolution was just passed to allow for the release of a summa- ry of the resu Its of the students' evaluation of a teacher to the entire student body. These evalu- ations will also be used to influ- ence faculty promotions and salaries. Also passed were three bi lis that are to be sent to Wisconsi n legislation. Assembly Bill 1109 and its companion bill, Senate Bill 500, create a Board of Regents Nominating Council that would recommend 3 to 5 persons to the Governor for vacant Board positions. This bill would help create better representation on the Board of Regents. Instead of the Governor having complete control, he could only choose from this committee's recommen- dations. The last bill, Assembly Bill 33, is one that every student at UW- Parkside should be aware of and support. It is entitled the Undergraduate Tuition Cap Bill. This bill would cap undergradu- ate tuition in the UW system at 33% of instructional cost for in- state students and at 120% for out-of-state students. This is going to help restrain tuition increases and force UW system to bring in funding from other areas. It would also put a burden on the UW system to justify any increases in tuition. Since any increase above 33% would require a change in the law, it would be much more difficult to raise tuition (especially since U.c. has some say in state legis- lation). Obviously, a lot is going on in the United Council. If you feel a need to attend any U.c. delega- tion, feel free to contact PSGA President Eric Bovee or Vice President Bruce Rocco. Also, be su re to keep an eye on the Ranger for future events. It is obvious that you, as a student body, need to keep abreast of legislation-both at the state and campus level. Remember, you do have say so in what goes on. Get out there and VOTEI Read the Ranger I lt's your right and your responsibility. Multicultural Quiz Bowl slated for area students By: Erica L. Sanchez News Editor On February 26, approximately 1SO high and middle school stu- dents wi II come together to take part in the Fourth Annual Multi- cultural Quiz Bowl, which will be held at UW-Parkside from B a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Union. Sponsored by the UW-Parkside PreCollege Program's Cultural Awareness Leadership Council (CALC), the integral questions of the Quiz Bowl will be focusing on the achievements and attain- ments of people of color through- out the arts, education, govern- rnent, business, sports, and sci- ences. CALC is an organization that offers students of color acad- emic support programs and activ- ities throughout the year, and here they are providing several students the opportunity to express their knowledge of facts about individuals of diverse backgrounds and their historical accomplishments in various fields. The schools that will be partic- ipating in the Multi-cultural Quiz Bowl are: from Racine, Case High School, Horlick High School, Walden III High School, Washington Park High School, Gilmore Middle School, Jerstad Middle School, McKinley Middle School, Mitchell Middle School, and Starbuck Middle School; and Kenosha's Bradford High School, Tremper High School, Bullen Junior High School, Lance Junior High School, Lincoln Junior High School, McKinley Junior High School, and Washington Junior High School. "The Quiz Bowl," said lynn Mason, one of the coordinators of the event, "provides students in Racine and Kenosha with a chance to come together on both academic and social levels." Mason, along with Dawn Bradke and Joann Allain, are assistant Support Services supervisors who are coming together to coordi- nate the Quiz Bowl. Trophies and certificates will be bestowed on the winners of the Quiz Bowl, and the students that will be participating in it have been preparing all year with their teachers and UW-Parkside mentors. They will be given the chance to show thei r knowledge and win the contest on February 26, 1994. If you need more infonnation, call the Uw- Parkside School of Education at 595-2569. 2 Regents, continued from pg. 1 year 2000, must therefore take into careful account a broad range of operating assumptions about the future environment for higher education: the probable demand for university services, the expected level and flexibility of funding, the changing compo- sition and needs of the student body, the technological innova- tions and physical plantlimita- tions, and the public expectations for effectiveness and efficiency." Regent Paul Schilling had some skepticism about the resolution; he mentioned that we must be extremely cautious in our efforts to increase enrollment because we may not continue to have enough support for the additional students. "We must have strong commitment from legislators, if we continue to receive more stu- dents," he said. Increasing the numbers of students might have a drastic affect on the quality of education they receive, he added. "There's only so much money that we have ...we must have the money to do it." Senior Vice President Stephen Porch stated that the Board of Regents have demonstrated that if the enrollment increases, quality will not hamper. "If the quality of education goes down/ then we will have to readjust our poli- cies." Another item discussed at the Education Committee meeting was the lateral Review of Teacher Education Programs. The consultants of the Teacher Education Lateral Review, asked the UW System Administration to create a Master Plan for teacher education that "would focus on high priority, mission-related bachelor's and master's programs taking into consideration state and regional needs, supply and demand data, quality, cost effec- tiveness and available resources." The consultants have found that a vast array of programs are common across the UW system. These dupl ication of programs have resulted to an imbalance of supply and demand. Because of this, the University of Wisconsin System Administration and the institutions will respond to these recommendations. Itwas also stated that "by 1995, the Board of Regents will be presented with a Master Plan that encompasses the issues presented by the consul- tants." The Board of Regents also dis- cussed a research report of degrees conferred during the last academic year. The report reveals that "in the last academic year Ouly 1992 to June 1993), University of Wisconsin System institutions conferred 27,661 degrees, the highest number ever." The following and Infor- mation figures are highlights from the yearly report: • At the bachelor's level, the same discipline areas continue to rank among the top three. • Business management & administrative services, educa- tion, and social sciences consti- tuted 44.1 percent of all bache- lor's degrees conferred by UW institutions in 1992-93. • Business management & administrative services ranked as the number one discipline area throughout the 1980's and into the 1990's. Peaking in 198B-89 at 4,304 degrees, it still account- ed for almost 20 percent (4,094) bachelor's degrees awarded in 1992-93. After experiencing rapid growth beginning in 1985- 86, bachelor's degrees in the social sciences surpassed educa- tion degrees for second place in 1990-91, with 2,84B degrees conferred in 1992-93. Education programs produced 2,154 bache- lor's degrees in 1992-93. • One in three master's degrees is in education. • UW System institutions con- ferred 5,109 master's degrees in 1992-93. Approximately one third of all master's level degrees continue to be awarded in edu- cation (1,694), a proportion that has changed very little over time. Ranking second, business man- agement & administrative service (mainly MBA's) peaked in 1964- 85 at 649 and dropped back to 773 degrees by 1992-93. o largest number of doctoral degrees awarded is in engineer- ing. o The two UW System doctoral institutions conferred 771 doctor- al degrees in 1992-93; 676 at UW-Madison and 95 at UW- Mi Iwaukee. Approximately 16.0 percent of all doctoral degnees are in engineering (127). TIed for second was education and life sciences with 95 degrees award- ed in each of these disciplines. Physical sciences and social sci- ences ranked third and fourth respectively with 89 and 87 degrees awarded. The balance of the doctoral degrees were widely dispersed among the remaining 1B disciplines. • Women continue to make gains in their number and pro- portionate share of degrees awarded. • Women earned 54 percent of all degnees in 1992-93, and earned higher proportions of degrees than men at the master's (56.2%), bachelor's (54.2%) and associate (57.9%) levels. • The proportion of degrees going to minority students has increased again. o Of the 27,861 total degrees awarded by the UW System in 1992-93, 1,301 were awarded to rmnority students. Tho' .... ~ increase in degrees conferred for r minorities was at the bachelor's level with 933 degrees awarded in t992-93 compared to 812 in 1991 -92. An increase was also Ii' seen at the doctoral level, from : I 41 in 1991-92 to 48 in 1992093 I At the master's level the number· of degrees decreased slightly from 248 in 1991-92 to 241 in I 1992-93. , Every year, the President of the' I UW-System invites one student j leader from each university to a ' formal dinner at her house, the i Brittingham Mansion.

It Iake$ more than a month to rec- ognizethe goals and achieve- me~ of former and present African-American leaders." Steven Moore, Editor-in-Chief of the Ranger Newspaper and a Mark Lewis Parkside Senior, felt that "Black History Month is a wonderful glorious occasion to celebrat~ the lives of African-Americans. We have come a long way, but the fight is not over. We still have people who make judgments based upon skin color. We sin- cerely say we need diversity, but we lack action and initiative. We need to move towards a color-blind society-where all of us can join hands in racial har- mony." Kevin Williams, Sports Editor of the Ranger News and a senior at Parkside, said that "Black History Month is an opportunity to recognize our hardships and struggles of the past It is a time for all of us to look forward to bigger and better triumphs in the future that lies ahead. However, it is really too bad that it is only for one month." Twyla Beets, a Parkside stu- dent said that "Black History Sheila Egerson Month is a time when black Americans are recognized for their outstanding achievements, and to reflect on the history that has brought us thus far." When asked for the meaning of Black History Month, Cassandra Chatman felt that it was "a time to reflect on the past struggles, and a time to let us know that our struggles are not yet over." Desiree N. Franklin, a Parkside student, believed that "the trail- blazers lett behind a burning pur- pose, which has become our pur- pose. During Black History Month, we must express the beauty of the nature of our histo- ry. At this time, it is.the mission of all concerned to spread to every person and beyond the greatness of our heritage and the importance of our history." "Finally," Franklin continued, "Black History Month is not just a time of entertainment to me, but a time of entertainment to the contributions of our great histori- cal achievements." Marcus N. Lewis, Parkside stu- dent, stated that Black History Month "gives me a chance to realize past achievements and CassandrnChatman drawbacks, because through these remembrances you learn more about yourself. It instills in me a sense of pride, and tells me that nothing can keep me down." When asked for her opinion, Daniella Bigham stated that "Black History Month is a time where black people get together and celebrate the historical tri- umphs of our people, and although it only lasts a month, we must make it every day." Some of these perceptions and thoughts have seen the light in other guises. Some of the admin- istrators felt that Black History Month was necessary and con- tributed much to the integration of all achievement into public acknowledgment. But upon deeper inspection, it was far too short a time to celebrate the his- torical achievements and person- al strivings of the African- American people. However/ through all the opinions and ideas, there exists a faith in the ultimate equality of historical acknowledgment. Sometimes it is a faith in cultural interaction, sometimes a faith in social reform, sometimes a hope for the recognition of African- Americans who contributed important things to the country. But whichever it is, the meaning is constantly clear: that one day, all great peo- ple, regardless of race, will be acknowledged and celebrated together in the collective annals of American history. nonreua Bigham Carol Girsh enjoys reading and visiting her friends.

I by Mike Schaefer This article is the second of a three part series covering changes in the methods by which faculty are assessed and evaluated. To be able to con- sider intelligently the current standards and proposed changes, it would be wise to consider first what goes into being a professor. Looking over the mass of notes written during interviews with professors and remember- ing countless impressions received during those inter- views, I don't believe that J have the ability to convey to the reader in the usual journal- istic style what it is that makes a professor. If I were to simply relay to you that '1< amount of time was spent on v" you would miss the enormity of the commitments that professors make. Each interview with a professor was a brief account of an iridividusl's story, every page of notes a blurry snapshot of a professor's life. . In the limited space that Iol- Jaws is an incomplete summa- tion of all of the stories, the notes and the impressions pro- fessors shared in their inter- views with me, , I You have finally completed your thesis, a three or four hun- dred page manuscript if you're in the humanities, or a ten to twenty page report on the results of thousands of hours spent in the lab and at a com- puter. Whatever your area, business, archaeology, biology, who cares, you've done it, you've received your doctorate. And during your graduate stud- ies, when you had those labs or one hundred level courses to teach, you discovered that, "This is what I want to do. I want to teach." So, now you've got your doctorate, applied to several universities, competed with as many as four hundred other applicants and have final- ly been accepted for tenure track at a small university somewhere in Wisconsin. If circumstances permit, you've been able to move into the area, find an apartment and get settled in with a month to spare before your first semester as a university professor begins. During this brief calm before the storm you meet some of the other faculty, familiarize your- 1 II self with the campus, and are possibly assigned a faculty guardian angel, someone who's been around long enough to be able to know, among other things, whe~e to kick the copy machine when it acts up. In interviews before you were hired, you were told how many credit hours you would be expected to carry every sernes- ter,(at your particular school nine are required), and what courses you would be teaching. Now that you're here, you have received or tracked down the materials and various texts required for the course, and for the next couple of weeks before the session begins you study them and develop course syl- labi from them. You relate them to things you might know that aren't covered in the texts, you decide what to keep and what to discard, you jot down ideas for test problems as they come to mind, you wonder if the stu- dents will already know some- thing or not. Holed up in your apartment, you immerse your- self in your work, late into the night. Maybe, however, your cir- cumstances didn't permit you a month long grace period before the beginning of the semester to prepare. Maybe you arrive two days before classes begin and the apartment you had arranged to rent you find rented to some- one else. You commandeer a cot, sleep in your office, shower in the phy ed building and cook Dinty Moore on a hot plate for two weeks because you're so committed to being prepared for the classes you teach you don't have time to look for an apartment. . The f rst few weeks of classes come and go, you find you need two or three hours to pre- pare for every hour of class you teach. At least, you do if you're to feel comfortable with your working knowledge of the material. You might have tried to skimp a few times, gotten up late, whatever,.and felt like the biggest fool as you stammered througb the lecture, lost, not quite remembering what point it was you were trying to make. Anyway, you find ways to make the necessary time available, your schedule settles in, you eventually find a routine. Now it's time to start thinking about your research. You probably had a project in mind long before you were accepted at the university. You might even have had some pro- ject started before you were accepted. Most likely, you were asked more than once what your research plans were before you were hired. What might your research project be? It could be some- thing as fascinating as using theoretical chemistry to map charges on a sphere, isolating a toxin in a plant disease, delving into some mystery of eighteenth century womyn writers, or tracking the social implications of replacing human workers with robots on assembly lines. You don't have to limit yourself to just one project either. You might have four separate pro- jects going, all of them related to your field, each an entity of its own, attention to them decided by whichever one pre- sented an idea while you were in the shower this morning. Whatever your research pro- ject is, its just as important to your career as your teaching ability. Universities are places of discovery, for professors as well as students. The job of a university is not just to dissemi- nate information to 'students, although that may be the pri- mary function. Universities, th rough the research that they help house and support, add to and organize an immense mass of knowledge that never stops growing. So, how you function as a researcher is a big factor in your tenure-track and, some- day, your tenure review. The way you prove the validi- ty of your research is by being published. In magazines, in journals, someday maybe even a book. So as your research progresses, you're able to take various pieces as they present themselves and mold them into something readable. Then you send your product out to edi- tors. And you wait. Who knows? You might get pub- lished, you might not. A paper may be accepted by a journal but you might not see it in print for a year because the editor is waiting until he/she can accrue enough papers relating to a par- ticular topic. So your work sits in a file somewhere. Or you might find your paper in your mailbox some afternoon, returned with a letter stating that your paper "is not what we are looking for at this time. But please feel free to submit other work in the future." This assumes that your research resulted in a paper or two in the first place. You might not have this happen often, burif your research is of a theoretical nature, as is some- times the case in the sciences, you might spend thousands of hours on some piece of work, grind your brain to a nub at the top of you r spi ne on math equations for systems in five dimensions or sub-atomic parti- cles that no one is really sure exist and in the final proof of your equations, no matter how many times you check your work or have other people look at your system, it just doesn't work. Poof. Gone. Although a paper to explain why your idea doesn't work might be valuable in steering someone else away from vourmlstake, still, the great idea you thought you had ...wasn't. So, time marches on. You try to publish at least one paper a year. You read the journals to keep up with what others are doing in your field. Publishers send you three or four text- books to edit or review every year, hoping to convince you to decide to use one as material in one of your classes. You try to attend a few conferences every year, hopefully presenting a paper at each one. If you're "lucky" you might even have the opportunity to chair a ses- sion at one of the conferences. You might find that your area of research is the type of thing a few agencies or businesses or foundations are into, so you write up some grant proposals detailing your work and why the people with the money might find your work valuable . And the one thing that remains constant is that you teach. With all of the other things you are expected to do, your biggest commitment by far is to your students. You have ten or twenty students to advise, some of them brilliant, some of them not so brilliant. Some you sit down in the cof- fee shop with for hours dis- cussing economic theory as it relates to the small entrepre- neur. Other students you might only know by the scrawl of their signature at the top of their assignments and the occa- sional add/drop form. You teach them all. Through the ten ure track review process, through the time you finally make tenure and the years it might take In establish yourself at a unive~i~ you teach, you do researchand you learn. You've learned that being a professor isn't a career you can leave at the office.It accompanies you as you walk out the doors of your schooLIt occupies your mind during you r daily commutes to any- where. It wakes you up inthe middle of the night with a gre~ idea or a new worry. I Most of the people around you are students, eighteen or I nineteen, young, brash and I: bold, occasionally drunk, readyl' to go out and conquer the , world. Occasionally you'll hear) a few students talking about I f being stuck here and how they I can't wait to get out in the I \ world to start their careers. It t makes you wonder if the stu- dents ever consider you as being "stuck here". It makes you wonder how many studem realize that you and the other professors came here. Fromdif· ferent points all over the couo- try you came to this one univer· sity to teach them. You're hanl· Iy "stuck" here. You're herefor a reason. To teach. And after ten or fifteen yea~ when some student wanders into your office and says he/she is from the campus newspaper and is doing a news piece about what professors do, how much time professors spend I doing this, that or the other II thing ...You're somewhat amused and overwhelmed by ( the enormity of the question. all ( course you'll explain as best I ( you can but first you have to explain to the student, "How C can I quantify what goes into I ( my teaching? All of my I research, all of the journals I read, every conversation I have[ with a colleague, all of it is assimilated into what I give my students. When I am asked how much time I spend improving my teaching or keeping up to date on my teaching, . .! do not sit down in my chair and think to myself, 'Now I will think about teaching.' No, every- I thing in my life influences what and how I teach and when IseeI that a student has made a con- nection ...how do I tell you the hours it took to do so?" But you go ahead and try, 'cause that's what you do. I f !

You might find that your area of research is the type of thing a few agencies or businesses or foundations are into, so you write up some grant proposals detailing your work and why the people with the money might find your work valuable. And the one thing that remains constant is that you teach. With all of the other things you are expected to do, your biggest commitment by far is to your students. You have ten or twenty students to advise, some of them brilliant, some of them not so brilliant. Some you sit down in the cof- fee shop with for hours dis- cussing economic theory as it relates to the small entrepre- neur. Other students you might only know by the scrawl of their signature at the top of their assignments and the occa- sional add/drop form. You teach them all. Through the tenure track review process, through the time you finally make tenure and t~e years it might take to j establish yourself at a universi~ you teach, you do research and you learn. You've learned that being a professor isn't a career I you Ci:ln leave at the office. It accompanies you as you walk out the doors of your school. It occupies your mind during your daily commutes to any- where. It wakes you up in the middle of the night with a great idea or a new worry. \ Most of the people around you are students, eighteen or nineteen, young, brash and bold, occasionally drunk, ready I to go out and conquer the , world. Occasionally you'll hear I a few students talking about being stuck here and how they can't wait to get out in the world to start their careers. It makes you wonder if the stu- dents ever consider you as being "stuck here". It makes you wonder how many students realize that you and the other professors came here. From dif- ferent points all over the coun- try you came to this one univer 1 sity to teach them. You're hard - ly "stuck" here. You're here for a reason. To teach. And after ten or fifteen years when some student wanders into your office and says he/she is from the campus newspaper and is doing a news piece I about what professors do, how much time professors spend doing this, that or the other thing ... You're somewhat amused and overwhelmed by the enormity of the question. Of course you'll explain as best I you can but first you have to explain to the student, "How can I quantify what goes into my teaching? All of my research, all of the journals I read, every conversation I have with a colleague, all of it is assimilated into what I give my students. When I am asked how much time I spend improving my teaching or keeping up to I date on my teaching ... ! do not sit down in my chair and think to myself, 'Now I will think about teaching.' No, every- thing in my life influences what and how I teach and when I see , that a student has made a con- nection ... how do I tell you the hours it took to do so?" But you go ahead and try, 'cause that's what you do. RAnG[R n[W~ lnVITH YOU TO WRIT[ A~ W[ll A~ R[AD. .

A Celebration Of Diversity And Progress Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document A BLACK HISTORY 'MONTH PERSPECTIVE ACELEB~ DIVERSITY AND PROGRESS By:Erica L. Sanchez NewsEditor Thereexists, in order to acknowledge the historical strivingsof a people, a time entitled Black History Month, which occurs during the four weekson Febnuary. Within it lie buried many things, which, , if viewed with patience, show the physical contributions and spiritual triumphs of the African-American people, along with the meaning of what it is to be black now at the dawning of the twenty-fi"t century. The fact that Black History Month existsat all has been reason for celebration, but some believe Ihatit may not be all that it appears to be. Herein are writ- lensome of the Parkside administration and faculty that recently gave their opinions on thefaults and successes of the venerable period called Black History Month. Anthony Brown, director of IheCenter for Educational and Cultural Advancement (CECA,) saidthat "as an African- American in the United States, Black History Month is the remembrance and knowledge that we must be the conscience in America for what is truly equal and unbiased in educa- tion, social reform, and political I affai" ...that the bashing of any race is the same as the bashing ofour race, and we must also I remember to make the stum- bling blocks of our past the stepping stones of our future. I We should not let titles and the perceived marginalityof our racelimit our existence in the World order. We are African- J Americans in the United States, I but we are black throughout the World." When asked about the mean- ing of Black History Month, Larry Turner, CECA coordina- tor, answered that it was " a time for all, not only African- Americans, to gain insight and appreciation for the richness that is our culture. By develop. ing this appreciation, we enable people of all cultures to interact and social ize more effectively." Dr. Howard Cohen, Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost, believed that the acknowledg- ment of African-American his- torical contributions should be continued throughout the year. "The expansion of the history of all people is a good and benefi- cialthing. It is useful to focus of the month of Febnuary in this Mr. Anthony Brown manner, but our goal should be to make the inclusion of black history more than just a one month affair. However, this is a good beginning." Dr. James Kinchen, Associate Professor of Music, stated that lithe observation of African- American history in 1994 can be equated with Dickens' state- ment in 'A Tale of Two Cities:' lilt was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Once I heard that Black History Month was a kind of ghetto, and I believe that there is creedence to that. The original idea for the ghetto was to contain the Jewish people--and because of economics and zoning, they could never get out. It became a handy place to confine ...and a month is a convienent vehicle to contain the black experi- ence. You deal with it now and you are done with it. However, the other side to the ghetto analogy is that np matter how bad it is, there is always someone who calls it home. Where else would you live? If we did not have this month, where else wou Id we have to celebrate all that is good and positive about the black experi- ence? It is really a two-edged sword." "Some people will not even calion you to do things until Black History Month." Kinchen said. "You always have calls then. You are black, but also a professor 1 a doctor, a per- former, whatever. If you have something worth sharing, some- thing worth saying, something worth doing in February, it is worth the same thing at all other times. However," he added, "I do think that it is admirable for the Black History Month Committee to schedule events all year long." Roseann Mason, coordinator of the Writing Center, believed that Black History Month is a "step in the right direction. Also, I think it is wonderful that the Black History Month Committee has incorporated events throughout the year, because black history should be recognized as all history is rec- ognized." Pamela Smith, the director of Student Support Services, stated that "Black History Month calls attention to the contributors ...and it allows us to rightfully acknowledge the things left out of history. It gives us a chance to concen- trate on the positive aspects. Ms. Pamela Smith The ideal would be for us not to need a Black History Month, for if the truth was integrated into American History, we would not need to emphasize separatism from Euro- Americans. I applaud the spot- light for one month, but the challenge is to be integrated into all history." 'While it is appropriate for African-Americans to take pride," Smith continued, "we need to educate the rest of the university and the surrounding community on the contributions of African-Americans. I am not saying that whites should not celebrate their heritage but I am could further interpret the mes- sage "exclusion" sendsto all Americans, but I don't think I need to. Yet, despite many issuesand concerns, there is a great deal to be celebrated." When asked for her opinion, Janet Days, advisor in Student Support Services, said that "although we celebrate Black History in the month of February, I think it isa time to recant the contributions in his- tory of African-Americans, and it is important to realize this all year long. I am glad that the Black History Month Committee is organizing events all year around, because it should not be celebrated in one month. Hopefu Ily, one day there will be common accep~ tance of all people of all walks of life." Perhaps one day there will not be a need for a Black History Month, because the educational systems and society in general will have properly blended the history of all peo- ple equally in our textbooks, for all to read and be proud. We should always remember the words of W.E.B. Dubois, when he wrote "that mind and soul according well, may make one music as before, but vaster." VICTOR LUBASI SITS ATIENTIVELY AS HE PAUSES AND REFLECTS ON BLACK HISTORY MONTH saying that we should celebrate our forefathers and educate other ethnic groups about their contributors. II Vickie Barker, Program Assistant at Student Support Services, said, "as we approach Black History Month each year, my hope restores that many Americans will take this oppor- tunity to learn of the many con- tributions African-Americans 'have made to the stnucturing of this country. Those contribu- tions range from sweat-equity to invention. But, of even greater importance is recogni- tion by all Americans that African-American history is crit- ically significant to the history Vickie Barker of this country, and that thor- ough knowledge of American history is dishonorable without the inclusion of our history. I z ADMINISTRATION ENFORCES NEW COURSE PROGRAM by Erica L. Sanchez News Editor Recently, the Parkside adminis- tration decided to implement a new program that may help the student make long-term decisions about the classes they wili take in semesters to come. Courses would now be listed in the course schedules two years ahead, allowing the students to plan their schedules early, instead of having to wait (or the upcoming semesters to pick courses that mayor may not not be available. Dr. Howard Cohen, Parkside's Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost, expanded on this deci- sion in a recent interview. "Instead of simply giving one semester in the course schedule, say fall of '94, we would give both fall '94 and spring of '95, and fall of '95 and spring of '96. There will be a list of courses, by department, along with the time period of day or evening. "Hopefully," Cohen added, "this will help to inform students about what will be offered currently, along with the future classes. The students will know that we offer what we promised we would." When asked about the new format, Dr. Ben Greenebaum, the Dean of Science and Technology, said "what we are trying to do is help the student. This will tell them what will hap- pen over the semesters to come. However, there is a warning- the plans are subject to change, therefore the schedule is not an iron-clad promise. There are always changes that can occur ...someone quits, a new faculty member arrives. But we are predicting what will happen in the upcoming semesters. Science has regular cycles, because we know that we will offer the core classes the begin- ning courses every year. The course catalogues tell the fre- quency of certain classes, so what we are doing is transferring this information to another loca- tion: the semester catalogues. This action will make the regular information more widely avail- able. Some Parkside professors had doubts about the change. Dr. Alan Shu card, professor of English, said that "I have the sense that I understand the good intentions behind the long range schedule, and it looks like, on the surface, that it would help the students. That is the intent. However, the main problem is that there will be changes, per- haps considerable ones, in what departments can offer when the times comes over a two year period. I hope that students will understand that schedules are subject to change. That being said, one must wonder about the value of the exercise." Overall, the administration, the professors, and the students may benefit from the new schedu Ie program, which will allow every- one to be informed about the upcoming classes in the years to come. Although changes in the curriculum will most likely be unavoidable, it is beneficial to the individual creating his/her course schedu Ie to know what will be offered in their fields in the upcoming years. la-KEY OPERATORS PAR't-TDlE Johnson International, Inc. has L.aediate openings for part- time la-key machineoperators.

To the Editor: Wrth news of an addition to the Comm Arts parking lot circulating again, once again the opportunity to stick It to the students has arisen, and has been taken. The Faculty Senate has supported the recommendation of the Committee on Campus Environment that '1urther planning and work on the expansion of the Cornroonication Arts parking lot be postponed pending a thorough study of the nature of the demand for parking.· Their rationale is that the Racine/Kenosha area is a "severe ozone nonattainment area" claimed to be worse than any area save Los Angeles, and that adding parking spaces would discourage such practices as riding the bus or car pooUng. But is there possibly another, unstated reason? They claim in their resolution that "no information has been forthcoming regarding any systematic study of parking demand, nor of any alternative remedies." If this is so, how then can they make claims about the environmental impact of the expansion? Or how can they then substantiate their claims that ihere has been nQ demonstrated effort to promote car pooling" or that there has been no evidence regarding •efforts to increase ridership" on the local bus systems? Their entire argument against expansion is the negative environmental impact it would have, yet claim they have no information regarding these issues. How can they know the effect the expansion would have when they don't even know what effect our current amount of vehicles causes now? Furthermore, the suggestion originally came from the Committee on Campus Environment, whose job it is to research this stuff. What I see here is a clear case of somebody (or somebodies) not doing their job, and the students paying for it. Come on, the faculty has I plenty of reserved spaces that are empty: at least let us have enough to fulfill the current parking demand by students. Jason A. Beyer To the Editor One week ago I was prepared to speak out against UWS 17 Revised and any other proposal which would infringe upon a right to free speech. Following an unfortunate and tasteless "prank" occurring on April 1st, I now have an understandIng for the rationale behind such legislation. I still have quarrels with any means proposed in i111>lementing such a policy but at least I have an understanding. The real shame is that a policy such as UWS 17 should ever be needed, much less oonceived, in an institution of higher learning. The very nature of this facility irrc>lies intelligence. The unfortunate "prank" I refer to is of oourse the tasteless attempt at delivering pornographic materials to Chancellor Kaplan. Though not directly oovered under UWS 17, such an act of expression is incredibly childish and points directly towards the rationale which creates infringements such as UWS 17. As strongly as I feel with regard to censorship, be it hate-speech, printed material, or any other expression, I cannot condone such utterty mindless actions. I believe I speak for all members of PSGA as well when I say that this behavior will sirrc:,ly not be tolerated. Steven J.

Constructionof the building additionand remodeling of the eXisting building may begin in early1996, according to AssistantChancellor for Administrationand Fiscal Affairs WilliamStreeter. ' Ina copy of the project sum- mary, the general goals read as follows: "to provide needed ~ces for instruction, intercolle- gl~te sports, intramurals, recre- a~on,and special events." Fifteennew spaces and five remodeledspaces are listed on , the MUniversityof Wisconsin ~ 1995-97 Biennium Major ject Request," which Streeter . ntIy made available for view- 'ng to the Ranger. A draft of the proposalshows an estimated cost ~!he project to be $9,358,000. Allbut 15% of this money wouldcome from state govern- ","ntthrough their state building program. The 15% we're requtred to raise locally. By locally,that can mean students, fund raising, through the founda- tiOll-it can mean alumni, it can meangrants. Those areas will be requestedto come up with the 15%,"explained Streeter. When askedif tuition would increase due.to the project, Streeter the '"Phed,"I think irs more along hnes of the 5UFAC I (SegregatedUniversity Fee AllocationCommittee) fee." Streeter continued by saying , thatthe physical education build- I 'ng was originally planned to be twice the size of the existing facility; however budget con- straints forced the down-sizing in 1972. "With the expansion we would truly have a multi-purpose building," he relayed. The multi-purpose building could attract sanctioned track meets, concerts, summer athletic camps, and various other events, according to Steve Stephens, chair of the physical education department. "I want Parkside students to be supportive of this project. A few students look at it as not their concern because they don't work-out, etc., but they don't have to be athletes to gain from this project," said Stephens. He suggested the possibility of conventions, seminars, and exhibits that students could take part in and benefit from. Regarding remodeling plans, Stephens agreed with Streeter in that the present facility "needs a facelift." One of the planned spaces, a combantants room, would help to eliminate the con- flict between "200 plus students in karate sharing space with other programs," he explained. lf the construction does begin in 1996, completion is slated for the following year. At press time, William Streeter was meet- ing with Fischer-Fischer-Theis, Inc., the architectural, engineer- ing, and planning firm that has been working thus far on the pro- ject. The company is from Waukesha, WI. Following stories on the expansion will be covered in upcoming issues of the Ranger. Parkside Takes Steps Against Sexual Assaults by Erica L. Sanchez News Editor This is the first installment of a two-part article on sexual assault and its effects on the UW- Parkside campus. Partone focus- es on adminIstrative opinions and campus-wide improvement, and part two will focus on self-protec- tion and prevention tips. In the past year, UW-Parkside has been faced with an urgent and challenging dilemma: how to stop the recent problematic appraisals of violent sexual crimes on campus grounds. Defying adequate police surveil- lance and creative safe-walk pro- grams, a total of five sexual assaults were reported to University Police, of which three involved an offenderls) that accosted women on the campus area. However, because of the recent surge in sexual crime, sev- eral programs and discussions have been raised and created to help better understand the prob- lem of sexual assault and to put an end to the violence that is ter- rorizing this university. As a result of the frequent sex- ual assaults, a "night walk" was conducted to discover steps that could be taken to ensure the safety of the Parkside campus. This activity resulted in many suggestions that wou Id help pre- vent sexual crimes, such as: a) the addition of exterior lighting on dark campus walkways, b) trimmed or eliminated foliage which might provide convenient hiding places for assailants, and c) added emergency call boxes to university parking lots which give callers instant communication with a university police dispatch- er. It has, however, been said that the awareness that follows-a. sexual invasion is often transient and unfortunately 'short-lived.' Aithough that may be the case on other campuses, it is evidently not so at Parkside. Dr. John C. Stockwell, Parkside's Interim Chancellor, said in a recent interview that "the assaults have been unfortu- nate, but there are two things that we must do. First, we are going ihirllOOllkl\ (mtlri to work on doubling the lighting on the campus grounds. The UW-System will be funding the improvements, and we can be confidant that it will begin in the summer of 1994. Also, U he added, "we must educate each other, and in order to better serve the needs of the campus, I have appointed a Task Force made of staff and students that is chaired by Dr. Francis Kavenik. This cont. on pg. 2 Black History Month Committee Releases New Information February is Black History Month. Each year, Parkside's Black History Month Committee plans events to be enjoyed, rec- ognized and celebrated by all students. This year's committee chair for Black History Month is Rochelle Boyd. The committee also includes the co-chair, Yolanda Jackson and the assis- stant co-chair, Daniella Bigham. The advisor to Black History Month is Karla Farrell. This year's theme is Black History - A Celebration for All Seasons. In order to fulfill this theme, the Black History Month Committee has not oniy planned events during February, but has made the celebration all year around by providing an event each month that recognizes Black History. Upon our return from vacation, the annually scheduled Martin Luther King Commemorative was eliminated by the school. Although this has occurred, the university has not forgotten or put aside his commemorative, but has integrated it into the celebra- tion of Black History Month. Please make a note of the follow- ing updated changes. The Martin Luther King Commemorative has been moved to February 16 in Main Place. The celebration will begin with a replica of one of the many marches he has participated in. The march will begin at 11:45 a.m. in the Union and will pro- ceed to march down to Main Place where the program will begin. Along with the com- memorative, there will also be a ethnic food fair, and a variety of African-American vendors. Black History Month is set and ready to go. Calendars of events are available at the information desk or CECA (WLLCD-182). Here also are a few changes added to Parkside's Black History Month calendar: The Essence Woman and Ebony Man Contest is moved from Friday, Feb. 4 to Friday, February 25, 1994 , 7 p.m. to 12 a.rn. Union Cinema. The Ribbon in the Sky Ball is moved from Friday, February 25 to Saturday, February 19, 1994 from 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. Admission: $5.00 single, and $8.00 couple. Proper attire required.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document iAACP Dir,ctor Sp,aks at Krnoshars Union lIall could be here, I am confidant that he would challenge us to look at our communities and challenge that dream that has become a nightmare for 0 many. Dr. King would have been 65 this year. We all must make an assessment of _where we are. We have made progress over the past 30 years, but the pace is insufficient given the time, the opportunities, and the mandates that we have had for decades." Chavis continued, saying UMay 17 will be the 40th anniversary of the Brown (vs. Board of Education) decision, which decided that sepa- rate and unequal schools were unconstitutional. However, it is important to remember that after- ward, Dr. King went to Montgomery, Alabama to desegre- gate I11Ore ... this was a place that outlawed the NAACP, but never outlawed the Ku Klux Klan. I am glad that the county executive and mayor are here, thei r presence indicates that the commitment to the dream is not in vain. I am proud that the state legislature and al1'Cultures that exist are here, and I wish that we could take this diversity to the workplace, to gov- ernment, and all aspects of deci- sion making." The audience was reminded by Dr. Chavis of the bombings of NAACP offices late year, and that this (as well as other occurrences) was indicative ofthe nation travel- by Erica 1. Sanchez News Editor ing backward in time instead of forward. "My reason for coming," said Chavis, "was to be present at this grand ceremony, and to say that our problem is not coming together, but stay! ng together. You must never let anything. not even assassinations, stop you from mov- ing forward. Our greatest problem is amnesia-we forget too quickly what we went through and some don't want to be reminded. If we tell you how it was, you have no excuse not be involved in the movement." Dr. Chavis went on to explain about several incidents that showed the nation's slow slide backward into the abyss of racism. He discussed a recent scene in Texas, where "armed marshalls had to escort an African-American cou- ple into a housing project under the cover of darkness, for fear of violent reprisals. This did not hap- pen in 1694, not in 1964, but in 1994." He discussed going to los Angeles and talking with the gangs, because everyone was taking about them, but no one attempted to talk to them. "We.. cannot describe, we must prescribe," Chavis said. There were many things that Chavis discussed on th night of January 22 (which just happened to be his 46th birthday), such as inner-city life ("gangs have aspire- tions--but often no chance at life"), Toys for Guns, and children r-every child of God should have opportu- on January 22, the Untied Auto I\'GfI<eIS local 72 (UAW) spon- sored the 14 annual Martin Luther '"' Jr.commemorati~e Program ~lhelr Union hall, which featured _~ dinner and live music in 35 1 "- • , celebration of Dr. Kmg s recent .lIhday on January 17.

Towards th end of his speech, he said, "there has been good news, there is revitalization- but the press has amnesia, they only dwell on negativism.

Congratulations Professor King - Parkside is very fortunate to have your talent. by Sheila roya Feature Writer sophomore status. However, these credits must have been earned after September 1, 1987. Richard Brown, dean of UW- Parkside's School of Business, said that modifications will be made in course requirements for these degrees, presumably to eliminate any problems of incompatibility of coursework between the two schools. It was also revealed that similar agreements are in the preliminary stages for the School of Science and Technology as well as the School of liberal Arts, by Jill Hertzberg Feature Writer I Congratulations are in order for Parkside's English Professor Julie King. A couple of weeks ago Professor King was awarded an Individual Artist Grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board for her fic- tion writing. Anyone is eligible for this award, and the only require- ment is that the winners somehow present their work to the public. She plans on doing this sometime in the fall with a reading of her story at The Old Book Corner in Racine. Out of approximately 500 entries, her work was recognized along with the other winners - all nationally known professionals. Professor King has been teaching at Parkside for 3 1/2 years. She holds a master's degree in creative writing from the University Texas, El Paso. Before coming to Parkside she taught Introductory and advanced poetry writing in both Greenbay and Oshkosh. Also, she has had numerous poems pub- lished in various literary journals. When asked what she plans on doing with the money, she said that she would like to take some time off this summer to continue working on her fiction writing. It would not be surprising to see her name again someday among those On Friday, January 20, after six , IYDnlhs of negotiations, the University of wlsccnsln-Parkside and Galeway Technical College IinaIlzeel an agreement designed to IIlCR:ase access for area techn ical college students interested in \ *aining an undergraduate busi- nessdegree. this program-to-program agree- Ill!rt will allow current Gateway , !lUdents and graduates who ""'iveel an associate of applied SCience degree in accounting or data processing to complete an undergraduate "'"ness degree it UW-Parkside - .. littleas ~ .... years. r,~ ~5 time frame 'l'O!5ible boca.... stu- dents can trans- ~_~ to fifteen "UMness credits and fifteen gen- traI education "'ellts, which - , ,"uld qualify I..... for The LonCJest)0 Seconds inSouthfrn California T err; L yn Jones In the giant sucking sound creat- ed by the departure of the venera- ble Cabe Kluka and his pearls of wisdom, the Ranger humbly offers an alumni guest piece 'rom humorist Terri Lyn jones (nee: Fortney). As you may recell. Terri held forth in past Rangers under the column "Leissez-Fsire." Terri's taken up residence in sunny, shaky California and faxed us this update from the front as it were. If you've never woken up screaming you should try it some- time. The perfect opportunity hap- pened in Southern California on January 1 7 when a 6.6 earthquake gave the Southland a rude wake-up call. The quake lasted for what I will always remember as the longest 30 seconds of my life. The epicenter was Northridge, California-a city approximately 15 miles away from where I live in Burbank. I moved here shortly after I graduated from UW-Parkside in December 1991. After I arrived in Burbank in April 1992, I have endured hospitallza- tlon, the L.A. riots, floods, fires, and earthquakes. When I lived in Wisconsin, I survived tornadoes, blizzards, and bitter cold. But this earthquake terrified me more than anything. Aftershocks in the mom- ing are not unusual. The Big Bear/landers quakes from June 1992 rocked California months after they happened. That was what I thought I woke up last Monday. The only thing was that the rocking wouldn't stop. I got up and screamed. because the power was out and I couldn't see my hus- band, Ti m. We reached for each other with our fingertips and tried to get to a doorway, the strongest structure in the building. The rock- ing was so loud that we couldn't hear the crashing to the floor, like pictures, books, a television, a computer monitor, We didn't know if we'd trip over anything. Cracks formed in the walls and plaster fell. Our apartment was pitch black. When we opened the door, the city was also. Tim found a flashlight and every- thing that wasn't on the floor there now. We had no phone, electrici- ty, or water. As we felt powerful aftershocks, we searched for a radio. We didn't know if los Angeles was still standing. That was when panic set in. Common sense wasn't in anyone's vocabu- lary. For instance, Tim continuous- ly told me to get clothes on. I thought I was fine in my Bugs Bunny-after all, they covered me and I was warm. I didn't realize that we had to leave and go to his brother's apartment to make sure his family was okay. So after yelling at each other for a few min- utes, I put my clothes on. We weren't angry because the only time a couple should yell at each other is during a disaster. We went down tour car and found plaster all over our car. Our car sits under our apartment building, so poles support half our building. This frightened me more because buildings dose to the epi- center collapsed with parki ng structures like ours. If the quake was any stronger, I'm sure our building would have suffered the same fate.

They also had no power 50 we tried to keep the two boys, aged six and nine, from being afraid. I don't think Tim did a good job. He told his nephew, "You know the only reason we had this quake, don't you? Because you were a bad boy! Just Kiddingl" We'll be paying for his many years of therapy soon. I tried to keep my nephews occupied. I said, "'Hey this reminds me of the 'Star Trek' episode where everyone was trapped and Captain Picard kept those kids in the turbo lift from being afraid by making them sing that French song." So I sang but the kids didn't. If there was power, I would have seen the funny looks they gave me. My brother-In-law, Gary. saw a paper boy still deliver- ing papers minutes after the quake. Cary asked, "Anything about the earthquake in there?" Luckily, we had an earth- quake survival kit of food and water prepared. Not so many peo- ple are that prepared. I cannot stress how important it is to have thls, because when an earthquake happens. it is like and apocalypse. Supermarkets and drugstores were empty of bottled water. flashlights and 0 batteries. There were lines not only inside the grocery stores but outside also because people couldn't get in. When the sun came, we heard that the epicenter was Northridge, where obviously Cal State Northridge is.

Again, Californians start over. "Rebuilding L.A." is now an entry in the Californian's cliche dictionary. But that is exactly wh people do here, and that is what I admire Southern Californians for. It is fortunate that this quake hap- pened at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, because there would have been more people on the collapsed hij ways. As the freeways get con- structed again, I listen to the mill- , tary helicopters f1ying over our building and still feel the after- shocks. Within the span of writing this article, I have felt at least three aftershocks ranging in the four point range. My mother asked when she can expect me coming back to Wisconsin. I said not •• soon. Because in any part of the I country, you pick your disaster. In instances such as tornadoes and hurricanes, one can prepare. But in an earthquake, one can't. This is the price for living in a beautiful warm and sunny area. We stlII have a lot to thankful for. In our home, the onll thing that was broke was a small lamp - amazing in a quake that moved our refrigerator and stove at, least six inches. An the best news I is that the earthquake halted direc- tor Aaron Spelling's productions.

This shows that not all disasters, natural or unnatural, are not always tragic. VOLUNTEER English. A parking structure col- lapsed at the school and two build- ings caught on fire. I'm not expect- ing to hear from them soon. I did- n't know if I wanted to attend a school that is sitting atop a fault. Butthen I heard seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones say on "'larry King live" that Souther California sits atop over 300 faults. Every one of these faults must release tension, which results in earthquakes. Okay, that made me feel better. later that week, President Clinton visited Burbank to declare Southern California, again, a disas- ter area. Clinton has been out here so often that he should schedule a trip out here every three months. Then he should set up a blanket for dispersing funds at those times. L.A. Times reported that this quake resulted in about $30 billion worth of damage, making it the most costly naturally disaster in American history. In the 1983 book, Whar You Should Know About Earthquakes, the author Joseph W, Foraker writes that a "catastrophic earthquake" could result in dollar losses of tens of bil- lions of dollars. This earthquake has already cost $30 billion, and the death toll is in the sixties. Having respect for those who have lost their lives, it may not be appropriate to call up some- one in California and ask, "Hey, what's shaktn'r- Until you are in an earthquake, you will never know how It feels.

Cook Assistant News Editor A lengthy period of confusion has ended in a settlement that is apparently agreeabie to all parties involved, as Mr. William R. Niebuhr, Director of the Union, announces that the Campus Bookstore will pay T'WANDA Books a disputed shipping charge accrued in the delivery of ordered textbooks. "We're just going to go ahead and pay with instructions to the publisher to check with us about shipping procedures in the future,'" states Niehbur. "'It's a done deal ... There was some prin- ciple involved, but at this point it's just not worth the effort to pursue it any farther," The story begins with Dr. Geoffrey Skoll, an adjunct faculty member from Milwaukee, teaching in UW-Parkside's Communication Department, in early fall, Skoll ordered an additional text for a course ~ is teaching: Wild Justice, by Ruth Sprague, a book available only through rWANDA Books, an obscure publishing firm in New Mexico. He instructed Follet Bookstore that there was -no real hurry for the bock," since it could be fit in anytime during the term. According to Skoll, some weeks went by before foffet informed him that they were unable to locate the publisher, since they were not list- ed in their book of known publish- er>. Skoll supplied them with the information they needed and an order was placed. The original purchase order states that the books were needed by September 27 and that back orders should be cancelled after October 4. It further stipulated that the texts should be shipped "via UPS: rWAN DA 800ks decided that in order to honor that date, they wouid need to ship the books via UPS second day air, which resulted in a shipping charge of $31.50~ "The charge for second air shipping was some ten times the usual UPS shipping charge: states Ms. Nancy Schroeder, manager of Pollet, "From a business point of view, it doesn't make sense to pay some $30 on shipping for a $60 order." Schroeder further claims that "actually it would have been here by our cancel date had they shipped it in a regular manner." Schroeder states that the bookstore received the shipment on September 27, so there was no real reason for them to have shipped via second-day mail. "'Why they elected to send them the most expensive way possible, I don't know. We did not ask them to do that," she explains. 'Most publish- ers will call and as]; fOU if there is any big question ::.1hey did not do business the way Ne wanted, so we took the steps we did." The seep that Sc~r took was to refuse payment on the shipping charge. rWANDA Books wrote an October 21 ietter to Folie!, explaining their reasons for ship. ping the way they did, requesting prompt payment of the original shipping charges. A copy of that letter was sent to Skoll. "'What took place here is very unusual," says Schroeder. "Normally, a pub- lisher would not go to a professor," Skoll responded with a letter to the bookstore, explaining his perspec- tive on the matter. "'I urge you to honor reasonable business prac- tices and pay the shipping fee which was incurred through actions of bookstore personnel, not the publisher," he corlcluded. "I'm very puzzled by his letter," Schroeder stales. "He should have discussed it with me first" A second letter was sent by rWANDA to Folfet on November 16, with a copy to Dr. William Streeter, Assistant Chancellor for Administration and Fiscal Affairs. Streeter forwarded the letter to Dr. G. Gary Grace, Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs. Grace passed the leuer on to Niebuhr and the decision was made to pay. "This iJ the price of doing business," comments Grace. "'Sometimes mistakes are made." Skoll comments 011 the situation, • , .' saying, "1 am still convinced that if the bookstore would have done things in a normal, routine way, there would have been no problem here." He states that "ln a public state university, especia lIy at a place like Pancside, In a situation such that the bookstore has a cap- tive market, they should be particu- larly open to public investigation because of their connection to state tax dollars. In such a situation, they should be particularly respon- sive to public scrutiny." He con- cludes by observing that, according to rWANDA, such problems are quite common for small publishers. It is apparently part and parcel of small publishers' woe. -It's hard to point any finger of blame, here," states Grace. "Everyone was operating with the best intent in mind." Niebuhr is quick to emphasize that this inci- dent represents an isolated event. "Problems with the bookstore are at an all time low ... I have nothing but high praise for its current man- agement." Schroeder stales that. "V'Je've enjoyed incredible support from faculty, administration and program support personnel. We usua.lIy run a very smooth opera- tion with very few complaints. We have had very little problem over the years ... With such little prob- lems, it must be working." She encourages faculty input and sup- porl "We invite faculty to be an active part of the process, here ..• This is not an adversarial situa- tion: PSCiA Meeting Friday Soaps, Hello, Dec. 3, 1993 Goodbye: Dr. by: Tracy Sorrentino At their weekly meeting on Friday December 3, the Parkside Student Government Association confirmed the fall election results and added Senators Dana larsen and Deborah CUller. Once again, the fall election results came under scrutiny as the results were never officially posted, thereby creating a question with their legitimacy. The results were confirmed by a unanimous vote of thepresent senators. The new and returning senators were sworn in. Also sworn in was Bruce Rocco as Vice-President. In his acceptance speech, Roccocommended the efforts of Deborah Cutler as interim vlce-Presldent during a di(ficult. time for PSGA. With the election of Bruce Rocco as Vice-President, his former position of President Pro-Tempore was left open. Nominated to fill this position were Senators Justin Marcinkus and JeffWoosley. In brief speeches outlining their motives for seeking this position, Woosley stated that he would like to get PSGA, "back on the road again," Marcinkus stated that he would like to continue the efforts and flll the shoes of previous President Pro Tempore Bruce Rocco and that being President Pro-Tern sounded "neat," he then ceded the rest of his speech time to Bruce Rocco's shoes. Woosley was elected and sworn in lmrnedl- ately thereafter. Followlng the resignations of Senators David Towle and Eshan Ali two senate seats became avail- able. I~ PSGA resolution 10-93, sponsored by Senator Gary Blevins, Deborah Cutler and Dana Larsen were elected to fill these seats. Amid confusion concerning the rules of reconsideration, the motion was passed with a roll-call vote with B senators voting yes, 3 voting no, and 1 abstention. Larsen, a freshman, will undertake an internship project assigned to her by President Pro-Tempore Woosley. Larsen will also be pro- ducing a pamphlet on Parliamentary Procedure. Both Larsen and Cutler were sworn in immediately. Other business involved open· ings on the Student Fee Allocation (SUFAC) Committee. Senators Teri Jacobsen, jime Nicholsen and Kevin Williams were reappointed to their 'seats. Senator Stephen Zieman was nominated to fill the seat left open by the resignation of David Towle. His appointment was approved unanimously. The SuFac Committee will continue to be chaired by Senator Vince Boerner. Kluka BidsFarewell "Gabe is the funniest, wittiest, most compassionate person I know. He knows how to work and he knows how to laugh," said Assistant News Editor Alan Cook. On Friday, December 10, Gabe Kluka will officially retire as Senior Columnist of Ranger News. Kluka, graduating this fall with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Applied Mathematics, will depart from Parkside to continue his pro- fessional career at lhe Outokumtu Copper Corporation. "Gabe will not only be missed from the staff, but from lhe entire Parkside community,&' said Editor- In-Chlef Steven Moore. Kluka is commonly known for his weekly column entitled "Gabe's Gab. " His column ran for over four years with the Ranger. In addition to his oolumn, Kluka served in several positions includ· ing Assistant Layout Editor, News Editor, Feature Editor, Sp'orts Editor, Copy Editor, and he was voted three consecutive years on the Executive Editorial Committee. Kluka was inspired to write as a sludent at Tremper High when he sent Letters to the Editor under the pseudo name of Fred Evans. He was good friends with the Editor, Steve Stevens, who thought that his letters were oUlrageously funny. "They were just stupid letters that made people laugh," Kluka said. After high school, Kluka began attending Parkside and became friends with Ste've DeAngelis, who was the Editor of Ranger News.' DeAngelis read some of his letters and asked if he would like to write a column. Kluka agreed, but he had problems thinking of a name for his column. At first he thought of calling it "Mr. Stupid Visits Parkside: but DeAngelis thought of the title "Gabe's Gab." "l'm going to miss writing alol-J'II miss making people laugh at my columns," said Kluka. "\'11 also miss the Ranger Office because it was my home," he said. "I'll miss people saying that they I enjoyed my column. It really makes me feel good and its nice to know that people are reading it." Kluka stated that he wrote columns to make people laugh at the stupidity of life. &'1also want· ed to write columns to make you think and to make you see life in a different perspective." According to Kluka, people sometimes com· plain about the wrong things. He mentioned a preacher from Georgia who was complaining about McDonald's seliing the movie Wayne's World. The preacher filed an official complaint to the headquarters of McDonald's, saying that the movie was filled with immoral valueS.

Soap Opera and Latin America." A flyer pro- moting the event listed L6pez as a professor of commun icatlon from uw.parksfde and a visiting Fellow in the Center for 20th Century Studies at UW·Mjlwauk~where the lecture was held on Dec 2 at noon. The first part of his presentation dealt with the relationship between Latin American telenovela and the American model (of soap opera). The second part dealt with his pro- -pcsal that "the most determinant factor in the content of soap opera is not the technical ability, but the stereotype that particular industries have of their primary target audi- ence." He discussed the origins of soap operas and relayed that 19th century American domestic novels were the most influential factor on the soap opera model. Also influ- ential were women's magazines. Worldwide popularity of soap operas stems from an interest in sentimental concerns or in other words-gossip, expressed LOpez. He emphasized, "'Gossip seems to hold universal appeal because it creates a sense of community and is important for social malnte- nance." He continued, that eco- nomically soap operas are winners. U.S. companies exported soap operas to Latin America for the same reasons they were created here-money and advertising, he said. Called "telenovelas," Latin American soap operas differ in that they are generally short in duration (about 15 weeks), ~pict social class conflicts, popularize rags to riches stories, and reflect spiritual values. Due to the lack of a strong movie iiiilustry, 1h<IT~lenovela takes on a sort of Hollywood aura, according to l6pez. Briefly discussing Brazil, the pro- fessor relayed that Brazil has the fourth most powerful television industry in the world. He said that Europeans prefer Brazilian soap operas over U.S. soaps because a Lopez 0 Book Discussion on IISchind'er's Ust" i ~ I I~ Hayward commented that the ~ book "Ieaves it up to the reader to form an opinion of Schindler as a 1'_ person.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document MEMORIAL PROGRAM HELD AT UW-PARKSIDE FOR AUGUST WEGNER DEC. ^ A memorial program was held at the University of Wisconsin Parkside on Wednesday, Dec. 1, for August Wegner, a UW-Parkside music professor and composer, who died suddenly on Nov. 23. Wegner, 52, collapsed during an afternoon rehearsal at the university. The program was held at noon in the Communication Arts Theater, located at the south end of the main campus complex. A reception will follow. This will be the only service in the Kenosha/Racine area. Wegner joined the university in 1972 teaching music theory, composition, jazz fundamentals and music fundamentals. He was twice head of the music department, from 1973-75 and 1977-79. In addition to teaching, Wegner performed with the Parkside Piano Duo, the Kenosha Symphony and the Parkside Jazz Quartet. Wegner, a native of Saginaw, Mich., received bachelor's and master's degrees in choral music and piano from Central Michigan University and a master's and doctorate in composition from the University of Iowa. Survivors include his wife, Patricia, two adult children, his father, stepmother and a brother. Internment will be held in Michigan. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the August M. Wegner 111 Memorial Music Scholarship Fund. Checks should be made payable to the UW-Parkside Foundation.

Arts theater Tues., Nov. 23. The band, with about 20 members present, was rehearsing for a performance to be held Tuesday evening when Wegner, 52, collapsed. According to Heather Hall, a UWParkside senior, "They were rehearsing and he appeared to have something wrong with the piano. He stood up and he was checking the piano. The vocalist, jackie Allen, was talking to him. They proceeded to go on with the rehearsal and she was over by him again. He had fallen forward over the piano, over the keys, and then had swung back like it was some type of a seizure. Then he fell off the bench and Jackie called Tim Bell [jazz band director] over." "He fell over backwards with an audible thud we could hear up in the booth," says David Mauer, a member of the technical crew that was present at the time. "We heard that big crash and we thought that somebody had fallen off one of those platforms backwards in a chair. But then we saw him laying on the floor." "Tim right away asked if anyone here knew CPR," says Hall. "A few people in the group did have training in CPR but "you know that feeling is so scary that, well, I had it a while ago but I don't know if I could really do it. So they tried but he still had a pulse and he was breathing, so they really didn't need to do anything then." According to Mauer, he stopped breathing about a minute later. At that time Officer Schneider of the UW-Parkside Campus Police arrived and started CPR. "Tim," continues Hall, "had called upstairs to ask if anyone knew CPR and Susan in the office had called the nurses and the nurses came running. By the time they got here the ambulance had already arrived. It appeared to be pretty massive and there wasn't much that anyone could do." Medical personel tried to revive him before and during transport to St. Catherine's Hospital in Kenosha where he was pronounced dead. "It is such a real shock because of his lifestyle and eating habits," comments Hall. James McKeever, associate profes- Students and Faculty Remember Wegner "We do musicals at Parkside now because of Augie He allowed us an opportunity to do that," said Lisa Kornetsky, associate professor of dramatic arts and director of the teaching center. "He wasn't just somebody we paid to come in and choreograph. He was the musical director, he did everything that needed to be done. He did it because he wanted to, not because we were paying him, but because it was important to him and because he really cared about the work." "He conducted for Guys and Dolls which is a very, very successful production," said James McKeever, chair of the department of music. "He worked very, very hard at that. Training the pit orchestra and working with the the individual singers and the production for endless hours helping them and coaching them on their parts. He put forth an immense effort on that, and he loved doing that and he loved the music theater and musicals." McKeever continues, "He was a jazz pianist also. He did a l ot of playing with Tim Bell and with other musicians playing in various places and nightclubs and various occasions. "The last couple of years he's been accompanying Trish Schaefer, who's a very talented singer and actress. They just completed a very successful program the Cabaret," said McKeever. "He composed the accompaniment for all of that from scratch. He took the vocal melody and invented everything and did an expert job at that." "He was saying that he really was so happy with his life now," said Kornetsky. "This is in the context of the musicals that we do, that he really loved doing them (the musicals) that they were so satisfying to him. But also the cabaret work he was doing with Trish Schaefer was incredibly important to him and and the collaboration." Mckeever and others also have fond memories of Wegner's individuality. "We really liked and respected him a great deal," says McKeever. "He had an easy manner. He was a mild mannered gentle person always carefully pondering questions. He also had a very good sense of humor. He always had silly jokes in class and meetings. He was a friend, too. Someone whom I've known for eleven and a half years. He was a joy to be with and he always interested me. There's not one person that does all the things that he was involved with." "He had the piano suspenders that I always remember with his tux and he always made quite a dashing figure," said Kornetsky. "I guess he wore suspenders a lot of the time but I always remember Augie wearing sweatshirts from our shows. He used to always wear Guys and Dolls or Working. Shows that he worked on or even shows that he didn't work on. I can't think of one show since I've been here that Augie didn't come to, even if he wasn't involved." Kieth Harris, technical theater manager, remembers him as a v ery giving man. "The last thing I worked on with him," said Harris "was the Cabaret he and Trish Schaefer did in the studio. He was the always type of guy that made sure he made a point of telling you the next day that he really appreciated your help and your work and he never would take any of that for granted. He was he type of person that would send you a gift and he'd leave a note in your box, and catch you in the hall and say thanks for all the help." Susan Mclntyre, a senior at UWParkside, remembers August Wegner in class. "Just f or your information," he would say "just in case you're at a party and someone wants to know, the frequency of a dialtone is an A on the keyboard." "He'd chuckle and you'd think that was so funny and the whole class- -I mean everyone, loved him, even people that didn't know him." "And he was so modest. I would tease him and I'd say "Augie, what would we do without you? He'd say sor of music and chair of the the department agrees. "That's the most shocking part of it, that he apparently was in such excellent health. He went over to the Phy Ed building and swam every day. You'd always see him at meetings munching carrots and celery. It makes the rest of us think my goodness, I'm overweight and I don't eat as well as he did. Why him and not someone else?" Music students were invited to a discusion held in Comm. Arts D-118 Wednesday, Nov. 24 at noon were a counsellor was available. Members of the campus community shared memories of Wegner and were offered guidence as to how to deal with his death. According to the UW-Parkside Police Department, flags were at half mast in honor of Wegner McKeever remembers Wegner's accomplishments on campus. "He really helped students get through the music theory courses that otherwise might not have been able to really put forth the effort. In addition to the teaching Augie did a lot of playing. He was a very accomplished pianist. He not only accompanied faculty in recitals, regularly but he also accompanied students at times to help them out with their recitals." 'Oh, no no no.' But it's true. I don't know what we would do without him. He was the epitome of style and class. He had it together. He added so much to the theater. "He always had his hand over his nose like this to decide," she crosses one arm and rests the other on it holding her chin. "And everything, the smallest thing, ya know, it would be so important. Like, 'Augie, should I hand this in now or later?' 'Well it's not due...' Ya know, he just gave a lot of thought to everything. He was very concerned for his students." Heather Hall explains that "he was always available for the students. Not just that he'd stop in the halls and say 'hi' to you, it was like he took a personal interest in what you were doing, and he was one of the busiest faculty in the music department. But, if you stopped to talk to him, he would stop and help you if you had a problem with one of your assignments." Hall adds, "He was an accompanist for both my recitals.

It was the most reassuring thing because a recital is sometimes very scar)' if you don't have an accompanist that you could depend on," "He was really amazing in terms of what he did for our students who are not music majors," said Kornetsky. "He was musical director on a show and students wanted extra rehearsal time. He would schedule eight or nine extra tutorial sessions during his dinner break between teaching and then rehearsing for three and a half hours." "A lot of dramatic arts students who sing would audition and use music. He knew more about musical theater than the rest of us. So he would help them find pieces and he would rehearse with them and he would make tapes for them. These weren't students who were taking independent studies, these were just people who liked Augie and knew that Augie would help them. And he never turned a student away. He would always make time for students. And students who weren't even his students. He thought of all students as his students." "But," says Mclntyre, "if you ever saw his schedule! I w ent to him yesterday and I sa id Augie can we rehearse sometime? He opened up his calender and he was booked solid. He could squeeze me in for like 45 minutes and I t hought Augie, we don't have to do anything, 'no no no. I w ant you to do well.' And he was great. The fact that he's gone is quite a loss for not only the whole school and the music department but the drama department as well. He was a very important part of us." "It really makes you step back and think how you deal with other people, and all those sort of trite hallmark card things, but you really don't know what's going to happen," said Kornetsky. "Skelly Warren said at this meeting that 'it really reminds you to say the things you need to say to people around you to not leave things unsaid and to let people know that you care about them, and to be good to the people that you love and that you care about.' Because you don't know if y ou're going to see them again. Which this is wild I can't imagine that I'm not going to see him again." Tim Bell, associate professor of music and jazz instructor states "I don't know if I c an find words equal to the worth of that man that we just lost. Augie was a professional- so the students benefited. It didn't matter if it was on campus or of campus. 12:00 at night or 7:00 in the morning. He was there." "He was the consummate musician," added Bell. "But It wasn't because he was a prodigy. It was because he worked hard. That's why he was such a fabulous talent. He was always evolving and so people around him could evolve with him. "He had a lot of talent—a lot of it. And he had a interesting mind. He started learning how to swing ten years ago. He used to come to my jazz appreciation classes every Tuesday and Thursday. I d on't know how it all started but I sa id 'do you want to play a gig?' So we tried it. You have to start. "He did go doing what he loved. I was directing a tune and stopped the band maby once or twice, and I'm running back and forth, and so just before he collapsed I st opped the band. He was over at the piano tinkering with something. What he discovered essentially was a fault with the piano. A mechanism or something like that wasn't right. There he was, though, very active. The next thing that happened is that he collapsed. He was doing what he does. He was totally involved, emerged emotionally into his music. Expressing all the levels of emotion. There he was—next thing he's gone. I'll sure have a difficult time replacing him. You don't replace someone like that. Augie spoke through his Marianne Inman and Ronald N. Satz Address Parkside music." The Center for Educational and Cultural Advancement sponsored Marianne Inman and Ronald N. Satz who lectured during the November months. The audiences stated that they enjoyed the programs. Dr. Marianne Inman is the Vice President and Dean at Northland College of Ashland, Wisconsin. She presented Insights on the Middle East: Perspective on Iran. She portrayed the mysteries of the resource-rich and the culturally wealthy nation of Iran. Dr. Inman lived in Iran for two and a half years in the city of Tehran where she taught at the Tehran University. The culture of Iran is beautiful in imagery and its people. Ziggurats, the architectural style of ancient Persia is famous in the Mid-East. The Audience Hall of Xerxes at Persepolis was to impress visitors with the power of the ancient kings. Many of the buildings that were standing destroyed during the eight year war with Iraq. Professor Ronald N. Satz, Dean of Graduate Studies, UW-Eau Claire presented Native American Treaty Rights in Historical Perspective. Professor Satz was the recipient of the 1992 Award for Merit for Distinguished Service to History from the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. The presentation dealt with the historical side of the treaty rights of the North Wisconsin Native Americans. In the early 1900's the Native American children were isolated from tribal traditions and forced to learn the English language and adopt white patterns of living. The Native Americans had their land taken and were left the most undesirable part swamp land and cutover timberlands. The Native Americans are trying to make a come back to ancestral life but can go only as far as the federal government will allow. The people of both nations are in reality very peaceful and resourceful they are not the "warmongers" they have been labeled as.

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

Ethnic Festival Week Featured By: Karen Diehl Asst. Feature Editor "Know the Past, Imagine the Future," is the theme of Parkside's Ethnic festival week. The festival is being held from December 6-10 as a part of the University's 25th anniversary celebration. Each day of this event features a different ethnic group. German Fest starts the activities on Dec. 6 with Roland Braun playing Bavarian accordian music. Dec. 7 features Festa Italiana, and on Dec. 8, Irish Fest showcases the "Shamrock Color Guard." Polish Fest is celebrated on Dec. 9, and finally, on Dec. 10, African, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American cultures will be displayed. Each day at noon in Main Place, a different event will be presented free of charge. ENVIRONMENTAL NETWORK UPDATE Libby Wheary Feature Writer On Sunday November 14, the Parkside Environmental Network cleaned up litter along Outer Loop Road. We worked for two and one half hours and collected fourteen bags of trash, four bags of recyclable material, two tires and $25.15...proof that it really does pay to take care of our earth! The most common items collected were flyers promoting a social activity in Racine. These flyers had been placed on the vehicles parked in the Union lot. The University does not allow flyer distribution in the parking lots. When students find these flyers on their vehicles, please dispose of them properly. This unauthorized advertising could also be reported to Student Activities. Although we were successful in our endeavors to clean-up the campus, there is much more out there than what meets the eye. As the day wore on, we discovered that this was to be more than just a one day project and a task much larger than five people could handle. But the fact remains that we did make a difference and this is only the begining. Please do vour part in keeping our campus clean! Thank You to the members who participated in the "clean-up": julie Streiff, Vickie McGruder, Michelle Cortez and Roger Field. P.E.N, meetings held every Wednesday at noon in Greenquist D-103. Join our team!

SANGER NEWS - YOUR # 1 NEWS SOURCE • STORY LEADS CALL 59 5 228 7 5 RANGER NEWS December 2, 1993 Section B teaching Center Providing Instructors With Teaching Alternatives by Chris Tishuk Feature Editor As part of the recent construction over the summer, Parkside installed a Teaching Center next to the new advising center, in the old bookstore location. The UW-Parkside Teaching Center was established to serve as a central place for the support and development of teaching as an individual and community enterprise. The purpose of The Teaching Center is to meet the needs of faculty and instru ctional staff who want to become b etter teachers or engage in dialogue with other people about leaching. It is a place where instruclors can sit down and discuss what happens in t he classroom. "Since classrooms are generally such a private pla ce and many professors never see each other teach," Lisa Kornetsky, Teaching Center Director said, "the Teaching Center provides a chance for instructors to talk about education tactics and become better teachers." The Center was started by El an a Rocco and has received a lot of support from the Administration. Under the auspices of the Associate Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Studies, it acts in c ollaboration with the Committee on Teaching, whose purpose is to stimulate and support teaching excellence. The Center provides presentations and discussions that encourage the analysis and infusion of n ew ideas about classroom instr uction, the role of education at UW-Parkside, and methods of evaluating teaching. An important segment of the Teaching Center is the Monday Noon, Brown Bag Lunch Series. Some of the topics covered this semester during the series include ways to structure and work with groups in the classroom, teaching for diversity, and student's first amendment rights in the classroom where they discussed how to handle situations when students are very vocal about certain issues that may have come up in discussion or lecture. The Teaching Center supports the activities of individuals and departments determining methods of assessing student learning and improving teaching. The Center does not evaluate teaching for personnel purposes, but does provide information and support services- such as mentoring programs for new faculty and staff and training sessions for peer evaluators- for individuals and departments who are engaged in evaluation. The Teaching Center is home to the Teaching for Diversity Project and supports the development of teaching-related projects and grants. Kornetsky believes that "if people really start to take advantage of it, the Teaching Center could become a very powerful resource on this campus and a real center of intellectual activity for faculty and staff and therefore students." HOME AWAY FROM HOME by Vanessa Woods Oscar Toscano is a Residence hall assi stant at Parkside. "You lend to become more responsible, you tend to become independent." Residence hall coordinators go through a rigid selection process along with having to be organized, understanding, responsible, creative, and have a friendly disposition. All R.A.'s are CPR certified. Responsibilities of R.A.'s consist of night duty(Sunday through Saturday), making rounds by checking for safety hazzards and making sure everyone is observing their twenty-four hour courtesy hours and programming for residents. However, there are some benefits being an R.A., such as free r°om, board and a free meal plan. There are eight R.A.'s and two enior R.A.'s.

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

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

Pledge forms are available at retail outlets throughout the area, including all Kohl's Food Stores. SANGER- S pWS « Y OUR # 1 NEWS SOURCE • S TORY L EAD S CAl l 6 RANGER NEWS December 2, 1993 Section C Diversity, Something to Think About by Rochelle Boyd Who instructs "Communication of Human Condition?" What material taught within this course qualifies it to fulfill the diversity requirement? These and other questions could have been asked at the Panel of Instructors who teach Ethnic Courses. On Monday, November 22, 1993 at 12 noon, there were approximately 20 instructors, who took time out of their busy schedules, to meet with students and answer questions about the ethnic courses they offer. Unfortunately, no students showed up. This is a growing concern of mine. Diversity is definitely an important issue today. Diversity, diversity, diversity! Universities are constantly revising and adding to their "Designs for Diversity." EVERYONE has to take a diversity course to graduate whether they like it or not. This panel would have been the perfect opportunity to find out what the course offers, who instructs it, or which course could benefit them the most. This was just a tiny step to increase awareness. It was disappointing to see so many instructors show up with syllabi, notes on the course, and open arms to students with questions and concerns, and yet, no one showed up. This raises questions in my mind. Is diversity a high concern of students here on campus? Do students care if the courses they take benefit them? Or do students just take the diversity course that looks the easiest for them? The University is making an effort to increase diversity through the system's Design for Diversity".. Yes, diversity should be automatic and you should not have to create a program to implement this, but no system is perfect. Since diversity does not come with such ease, the students also need to make a sincere effort to increase diversity through many ways: individual or group activities, involvement, adventagous learning, or whatever appeases you. This, of course, will not solve the problem of the lack in interest in diversity, but it is a start! WILDER, WILDER, WILDER AT PARKSIDE by April Proska Thornton WildePs The Pullman Car Hiawatha, The Long Christmas Dinner, and The Happy Journey To Trenton and Camden will be performed in Studio B in the Communication of Arts on December 3, 4, 10, and 11 at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on December 9 at 10:00 a.m. Tickets can be purchased in advance or at the door for $7 for the general public and $6 for senior citizens and students.

The Production team members include : Deborah Cutler, stage manager; Liza Handziak, assistant stage manager; Mike Gename, scene design; Heath Denikas, lighting director. The costume designers are Lizz Otto, Margaret Adamson, and Kimberly Instenes. Thornton Wilder was born in - Madison on April 17, 1897, and died on December 7, 1975. Wilder7s plays have been described as "fluctuating between fantasy and philosophy, skepticism and mysticism, playfulness and society." Wilder's plays may have taken place in the 19?0's, but seem "modern, warn, and winsome." The Pullma i Car Hiawatha is the story of a group of people traveling on the samr train car on December 21,1930 from New York to Chicago. Their lives intercede for only that period of time during the train ride. The second play, The Long Christmas Dinner is a story detailing the annual dinners being held around one table (belonging to one family) in an accelerated motion of period of ninety Christmases. The Happy Journey To Trenton And Carmen shows us a story of a family traveling by car to visit their married daughter. It is a simple story that is sure to remind many about their own family car trip experiences. For more information or to reserve tickets, call 595-2564.

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

So instead of continuing io stew over the questions and anger that "Viet Nam ...Won And Lost..." reinvoked for me, I've gone back to the catharsis of the pen, although a case could be made for mid-terms or these word processors [hat refuse to bend to my will. When I was called to active duty in 1969,1 went in spite of a draft number of 265 and a divinity school C.O. status. I had cut my political teeth in '67 marching with Father Groppi up in Milwaukee, in 68 at the Democratic Convention and during " The Days of Rage " in m I counted among my friends, jerry Rubin, author of Steal This look, who personally handed me my Youth International Peace Party YIPPIE).

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

While I lay with a banging head, it °ccured to me that this may be VerY ^'ous. That thought, in ,urn' 80t fro to thinking about my years and two weeks of existence.

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

Zurad Wandering Spirit Insiders: Not for Sale Two questions. First, why haven't the Insiders gotten a deal with a major label yet? These boys are by far Chicago's best unsigned act. A sort of an early Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers meets Jackson Browne, or a BoDeans with far better songwriting capabilities (but with less vocal abilities than the BoDeans, of course), this band could sell a lot of records if only it could get some national attention. Second, could it be possible that perhaps the Insiders don't want to be bossed around by a big label? Is that the meaning behind the title Not for Sale, or is it simply because this CD, on the independent Monsterdisc label, is somewhat hard to find? While there may be no ready answers for those questions, there is certainly no question as to if this fine live band can carry themselves respectably in the studio. Not for Sale opens with a studio track that features a drum machine and back- WE'LL ERASE YOUR COLLEGE LOAN. ing vocals by fellow local hero Nicholas Tremulis, making "Never Seen Enough" rather hard to duplicate on stage. The rest of the album is less complex and is taken more directly from their live performances, but the mixing of two electric guitars with a distinct rhythm acoustic guitar shining through by band member Jay O'Rourke is superb. Three live tracks, recorded at Fitzgerald's in Chicago, are thrown at the end of the CD for good measure. Those familiar with the Insiders will be pleased to know that the WXRT-FM hit "Shake Down" is included on this disc. Those not hip to this band are in for a real treat. The music is accessible enough to enjoy right away, but doesn't wear thin shortly thereafter. The vocal style is a lot like that of Jackson Browne or Drivin' N' Cryin'. Vocalists John Siegle and Gary Yerkins don't sing on the emotional level of Eddie Vedder or Peter Gabriel, but the band shows its emotion through the music itself. Lyrically, the band covers the standard rock song topics with an ~ e'ement °f wisdom on "Can't Look Back" ("Ain't gonna say what you could've done better./Ain't gonna tell you what you should've done right/Cause if there's one thing we don't need/it's somebody else's hindsight.") and an element of wit and desperation on "Come Back to Me" ("Come back to me./Use my closet. Use my razor./Come back to me./Look in the bathroom./See? The toilet seat is downl/l said now from now on,/I promise I won't ever raise it.") The Insiders. See them live. Buy their CD. Then see them live again. Then buy their live CD. Then see them live again. Then buy their T-shirts. Then see them live again. Speaking of live shows, Jackson Browne spun through our area recently, this time playing a two hour set to small, intimate clubs. The breakup with Daryl Hannah hit Jackson hard, as the entire set consisted of his most personal selections, much like Peter Gabriel's theatrical Secret World performance. Although he never ventured closer than ten feet from the edge of the stage, Browne transcended that boundary with the audience Monday night better than any performer in recent memory. He introduced one of his songs by explaining where and how he wrote it, then had to start the song over twice because, as he said, he was thinking more about the initial inspiration than the third line of the song. Midway through a song about a roadie stealing his girl, he politely told the audience not to clap along, "this is a sad song!" This was a performer expressing himself openly through his music. The audience was responding to it and the performer was feeding from that response. The Vic's small size nurtured this audienceperformer relationship. When Jackson Browne returns again early next year, he will no doubt be playing to larger venues and the emotions will be numbed somewhat. All the more reason why November 15th's show was so special. Common Thread: The Songs of the Eagles This collection of the more twangy selections by this legendary band performed by the hottest hillbillies on the country scene today was put together by Don Henley to raise money for his Walden Woods conservation project. This would be a perfect gift for the pop/rock crowd who got alienated somewhere and flocked to the likes of Alan Jackson. These versions don't deviate from the originals, so why not go to the source and pick up The Eagles' Greatest Hits Vol. Z? Henley has a better voice than anyone featured on this disc.

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

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

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

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

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

Towle has admitted to st1 ,. ffing the ballot box for the elf ~tion on Oct. 20 and 21. During the course c,i the PSGA meeting on 1 1 -12, Senator Gary Blevins motioned to start the impeachment process. A four paragraph memo entitled " j mpeachment Movement" was handed out by Blevins. The memo begins, "We the Student Senate at the UW-Parkside gather together today to handle business that I am quite sure none of us ever thought we would have to con- duct." Paraphrase d in the text were comments by Towle: "I thought that it would he funny for Brian Matsen to ,· 0te for the only homosexual or . the bal- lot ... " The memc stated that Towle named tl-..e candidate, which was. a vi,Jlation of trust and which p 1 aced the candidate at risk. Groundr for impeachment were listed as: 1-Actior .s unbecoming a Senat ,Jr. r 2-Misrcpresentation of the !I e_ntire student body as an impar- chairing the election committee: a-Never having quorum b-Did not inform a Justice of the meetings c-Candidate Biographies of the candidate;_, were not submitted to the Ranger. Students not on the senate along with senate members spoke in response to the motio: 1. Morten Sunde said that, in behalf of the Gay and Lesbian · Organization, he believed that Towle acted wrongly. Senator Williams said, "If you [the sen- ate] truly represent the student body then you should find offense in this issue [Towle's action]." Ginger Helgeson, from the Women's Center relayed, "I was really surprised that this happened here. I think the impeachment is the right procedure; but even with an impeachment I would hope that senate members would want to become more educated in gay and lesbian issues." Senator Flores told the senate that he was, "angry because I had to learn of the incident through a third rate newspaper." He went on to say that there was an invention by Alexander Graham Bell that could have been used. Towle did not raise his hand to speak at the meeting. The meeting on Friday, Nov. 19 will decide if there will be an impeachment process. That is because there were not enough members present on the meet- ing of Nov. 12 to vote. · Following the meeting, Towle spoke with the Ranger. Towle I believed that two weeks of non- voting privileges were enough punishment for his action. "I do feel remorse. It's cost me sever- al large headaches. In retro- spect, I would not have done what I did. I've gotten a bit of flack from students. One of my professors teases me about it. They [the senate] will try again next Friday [the 19th] to impeach me. I think it'll fail because I have enough support in the senate. Today they only had 6 votes-not a majority. I am sorry for what I did. If I hurt any feelings I'm sorry about that," said Towle, a histo- ry and political science major. The PSGA meeting will be at noon on Friday, Nov. 19, at noon in CART 129. 1 nal eiected representative. t 3-Dcreliction of cl.ity while 'Nrltlng Center Sponsors 25th Anniversary Writing Contest by Chris Umhoefer The Writing Center and The ~nger are co-sponsoring a writ- ing contest in celebration of the ~ 25 ~ anniversary of the "' Dmversity of Wisconsin- Parkside.

CHANCELLOR: · UNIVERSITY Qr WISCONSIN- PARKSIDE The University of Wisconsin System (UWS) seeks qualified nom- inees and applicants for the position of Chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. The UW- Parkside is one of eleven compre- hensive institutions in the UW System, which also includes two doctoral universities, thirteen freshman-sophomore centers, and a statewide Extension service. The Chancellor of each System institu- tion reports through the UWS president to the Board of Regents. Established in 1968, the UW- Parkside (the University) is located 3 5 miles south of Milwaukee and 60 miles north of Chicago; Lake Michigan is minutes away. The University has a beautiful and func- tional park-like campus in the Racine-Kenosha area, which has a population of nearly 200,000. In 1992-93, it had an enrollment of 5,100 students, 1 51 FTE faculty, and an annual budget in excess of $33 million. The mission of the University is to offer undergraduate and graduate programs tailored to the needs of southeastern Wisconsin, an urban and rapidly growing region which is culturally diverse and experiencing industrial and technological change. The University's Schools of Liberal Arts, Business, Science and Technology, and Education offer undergraduate programs in 28 major areas of study designed to serve the managerial, technological, and social needs of the region and the state. UW-Parksidc also offers two master's degrees: Business Administration (MBA) and Applied Molecular Biology. Its biological sciences department has been desig - nated as a UW System Center of Excellence, and its teacher educa- tion program is nationally recog- nized as a leader in urban and mul- ticultural teacher preparation. The University is dedicated to the enhancement of the cultural and economic life of the region it serves. The chancellor is the University's chief executive officer, and - in consultation with the faculty - is responsible for overseeing curricu- lum; degree requirements; academic standards; defining and administer- ing standards for peer evaluation and approving candidates for appointment, promotion, and tenure; administering associated auxiliary services; and administering all institution funds. The Chancellor is also responsible for advancing the interests of the University by working effectively with- faculty, academic staff, and student governance units; commu- nity, city, county, and state govern- ment leaders; alumni and founda- tion support groups; Regents, System colleagues, and business and industry. Major qualifications for the position include: appropriate academic cre- dentials and experience which demonstrate commitment to teach- ing, scholarly activities and values, and/or equivalent professional lead- ership experience; significant and successful senior level administra- tive experience; an understanding of the diverse missions of a regional public university, and a commit- ment to the clements of the UW- Parkside mission; sensitivity to the Wisconsin tradition of shared gov- ernance; demonstrated success in building positive institutional sup- port for rapidly growing cultural diversity; and the ability and com- mitment to develop extramural resources to sustain a margin of excellence in education. A tenured appointment will be considered. Applicants must also possess : excep- tional oral, written, analytica~ and interpersonal skills; intellectual vigor; the ability to articulate a vision for the University, to formu- late effective strategics to move toward that goa~ and the ability to inspire people to that vision; the ability to be an effective representative and advocate for the university; the ability to define and communicate the institution's acad- emic missions to diverse constituen - cies; and the requisite organization - al skills to perform and relate suc- cessfully in a comprehensive, multi- level statewide system of public higher education. A commitment to meeting the needs of an increasingly diverse region is a central clement in the institution's mission; UW-Parksidc has taken major steps toward increasing percentages of women and minority students, faculty, and staff and expects to make further progress in this area. Given the institution's resolution to this goa~ we seek a chancellor with demon- strated success in fostering access to a university experience for a student population that is culturally diverse and non-traditional in age, and in creating a working environment characterized by respect for all peo- ple. We encourage applications from women and minorities. The campus search and screen co _ mittcc will present a list of finalis: to the U nivcrsity of Wisconsin System President and a Special Regent Committee for personal interview, and recommendation of a candidate for consideration and approval by the Board of Regents. Salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience, and the Board of Regents executive salary structure. The position is available April 1, 1994.
