Faculty Senate reorganizes Parkside Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Faculty Senate reorganizes Parkside by Scott Singer Recently, at the fall meeting of the Faculty Senate, a proposal was approved that will, pending approval by the Board of Regents, reorganize the Parkside curriculum Into four schools. The two present colleges, the College of Science and Society and the School of Modern Industry, will be replaced by the new schools - the School of Liberal Arts, the School of Science and Technology, the School of Business and the School of Education. Also, the eight academic divisions will be eliminated and replaced by 24 departments, distributed throughout the four schools. These departments will offer the various majors and minors associated with their curricula. A search must be made to find and establish a Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, as well as for a Dean of Science and Technology. Although searches must be made for the heads of these schools, Beverlee Anderson will continue heading the Business School in its new format. Dr. Barbara Shade, head of the Education Division, will become Dean of the new Education School. In addition to all these adjustments, the new Dean of Liberal Arts will take over the present divisions of Social Science, Behavioral Science, Humanities and Fine Arts. The new Dean of Science and Technology will be assuming the duties of the current Science and Engineering Technology divisions. In terms of costs, the reorganization is projected to save $36,608. This is to be achieved through internal searches for deans and associate vice chancellors, division heads' release from teaching and other cost-conscious features. Since this new structure adheres to the more traditional university setup, many faculty and staff will be glad to see it take effect. In a recent lecture class, Kenneth Weston, associate professor of mathematics, was compelled to comment, "I celebrated by throwing my arms up!" If the reorganization proposal is passed by the Board of Regents, it will become effective Jan. 1, 1989. PSGA's SAFE program 'running strong' by Kellie Paccagnella Once again the Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) has implemented another service to help students: Student Acquired Faculty Evaluations (SAFE). SAFE, an informational resource, is designed to assist students in objective instructor/ course selection. The program allows students to evaluate their instructors and courses. PSGA then provides these results (which wouldn't otherwise be available) to students. Ross Pettit, vice president of PSGA, feels students should keep two key points about this program in mind. "First, SAFE is not an attempt to pass judgement on the qualities or aptitude of the faculty at Parkside. Second, students should not be critical of instructors who were evaluated but, rather, critical of those who chose not to be evaluated." The evaluations are optional and, individual faculty members decide whether or not SAFE forms will be solicted in his/her class. The instructor's "grade point average" is calculated based on twelve questions. Answers to these questions range from strongly agree to strongly disagree. In the past (since the inception of SAFE back in 1984-85), evaluations had to be processed manually, making SAFE extremely time-consuming. In 1987, Pettit designed a computer program which allows the forms to be readily tabulated accurately. By 1989 Spring semester registration, Pettit hopes to have updated the program so the evaluations are more precise and informative. "I am happy that we have the new system in place because it is much less time-consuming and it will reduce the overhead," he said. PSGA offers the results of the SAFE evaluations, in pamphlet format, free of charge to all students. You are welcome and encouraged to stop by the PSGA office (D-139A, WLLC, next to the Coffee Shoppe) and pick up your copy of SAFE. Fettit says, "The program is definitely out of the gates and running strong. Two divisions have requested a sum total of 1300 SAFE evaluation forms to be solicted in classes." He explained that Student Services, the committee of PSGA that will be handling the SAFE program, is acquiring new members. "As soon as they get a chairman, they can handle the process. It is a strenuous process, but it can be set up in such a way that it will be a perpetual project. We want it to be a project that just happens every semester, not one that requires extensive hours to be put into it. That is the goal for every project," Pettit said. Regents approve huge tuition hikes The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents met last Friday and approved a 12% tuition increase for the 1989-90 school year, and a 9.37% increase for 1990-91. The budget also increases out of state tuition at the Madison and Milwaukee campuses to 109%. Of the 12% increase that was approved for 1989-90, 7.2% will go for programming and 4.8% will be provided for a faculty catch-up. For 1990- 91, of the 9.3% that was approved, 4.5% will be used for programming and 4.8% will be used for a faculty catchup. The programming increase would be spent on things such as supplies and expenses, general computer access, and strategic planning for business education. The faculty catch-up was proposed to help bring University of Wisconsin faculty up to "peer" levels. Regent Ody Fish proposed, then withdrew a motion that would have taken faculty catch-up out of the tuition increase. According to Fish, "We constantly give lip service to students, but something else is always more important. The students always come last." The United Council is currently supporting legislation that would cap resident undergraduate tuition at 33% and out of state tuition at 105% of instructional costs. The United Council is a lobbying group for most of the University of Wisconsin campuses. According to Jim Smith, President of UC, "We firmly believe in the tuition cap and will not sacrifice its passage by accepting this provision. This cap is moving forward and we hope to put it on the Governor's desk this spring." §w§1 m*\ 'f iifila GOOD LUCK ON FINALS! Inside... Page 2... Academic Actions: a heavyweight committee Page 3...

You're seated at the head of a table cluttered with papers. Seven faces turn to you, waiting to hear what went wrong. Nervous isn't the word ... after all, these strangers are going to make a decision that will affect your career as a student - and, quite probably, affect that career in a dramatic way. This scenario is familiar to many students; many have appeared before the Academic Actions committee. Academic Actions is a committee the likes of no other at Parkside. For example, there are only seven people that who, collectively, grant requests for deletions of items from official academic records. Pursuant to the Parkside Faculty Guide (UWPF 4.08), Academic Actions acts on appeals in cases of academic probation and readmission of students dropped for academic reasons. Also, this committee acts on requests for waivers of University- wide academic policies. This is a heavyweight committee. Being a heavyweight, possessing the power to make hard-hitting decisions, it can rationally be expected that contenders to the title will throw their punches. On the one hand, when requests are granted, there are contenders that acuse the committee of being too liberal, and by the virtue of their decisons, devaluing the degrees Parkside graduates hold. This is especially true when the committee grants waivers of general degree requirements. On the other hand, when petitions are not granted, the committee becomes cold, harsh and insensitive. Either way, the committee takes its blows. Meanwhile, back in the conference room ... the questioning begins. Four faculty members, one academic staff ™ and two students inquire about the nature of your situat • an attempt to determine whether your case should be su j to the prescribed university guidelines or if, due to extenuating circumstances, you should be granted an exemption fromip - cy. The question abruptly come to an end. You are ushe back to the lobby to wait until the committee reaches its aecision. . . Be it known that these seven people don't enjoy the scenario any more than the students who appear before them - and, tor the committee, it is a scenario that will be repeated countless times over the course of the year. It is a weighty responsiblity to be called upon to make decisions that will greatly affect the lives of the students who appear before you. The Academic Actions committee is not comprised of seven ancient PhD's who secretly make their decisions in a smokefilled room. Academic Acitons is a committee that has representation from all of the major segments of the Parkside community; these academic decisons are made by your faculty, staff and fellow students. A student requesting a waiver or deletion, whether granted or denied, has no reason to feel screwed by the system or the Administration. To the contrary, all students, including past and future graduates, should be grateful for the quality people who perform this thankless, demanding task. It's not easy walking the thin line that separates compassion from high academic standards. by Jon Hearron Parkside's weightroom is inadequate by Jeff Lemmermann Sports Editor There is a glaring problem with the current weight facilities now available to the students of Parkside. The problem is a lack of any sort of a training facility for the athletes, as well as the general student body, of Parkside. To those who don't make use of these facilities, the current "weight room" may seem more than ample. But, in all actuality, the facilities now available are prehistoric in comparison to those available to other college students across the state. Circuit training equipment, a staple in many athletic training programs, is nowhere to be found here; the two weight benches now available for free weights See Weights, page 3 EDITORIAL STAFF Jon Hearron Editor-in-Chief Kelly McKissick News Editor Laura Pestka Entertainment Editor Jeff Lemmermann Sports Editor Kevin Zirkelbach Copy Editor John Kehoe Photo Editor Christine Dejno Asst.

It really is about time somebody in the athletic department realizes that we are in the midst of a fitness revolution. It has been proven that strength training improves performance in ALL sports. Believe it or not, football and wrestling are not the only sports that make use of a weightroom any more. While other schools are expanding their facilities and investing in well-equipped weightrooms, our athletes are forced to go elsewhere and spend their own money to find good facilities where they can work to improve themselves. Yes, I'm sure there is the initial problem of funding such a venture. Other schools are finding ways to handle these costs. It is up to the Athletic Department to get the ball rolling. I'm sure those who would benefit would be more than willing to help, but the first step must be taken. Other programs are continually getting stronger and better. We can't afford to fall behind much more. PAB promo offensive to students To the Editor, While walking down the corridor a few days ago, we noticed the posters advertising the game show "The Boob Tube". We were appalled to see that on these posters is a female head and upper body positioned so that the "o" 's in "Boob" are where her breasts would be. To enforce this imaging, the artist included dots in the center of the circles. We wonder what that suggests? Looking further at these posters, we noticed that the sponser of this advertisement is the Parkside Activities Board. We also noticed that they were stamped by the Student Activities Office, the office in charge of approving everything before it is displayed. How can PAB or the administration feel that these posters are acceptable? What if a group were to put up a poster showing male genitalia. Would they find that acceptable? Would anyone? As female students, we are intelligent people, worth more than just the sum of our body parts. Posters such as these undermine our equality by promoting the image of women as objects. We understand that "boob tube" is a common slang term for television. However, we feel that these pictures are degrading, unnecessary, and very inappriate for an educational environment. Sincerely, Rina Goodluck Michele Bormett Share It at St. Mary's Medical Center1 Saint Mary's Medical Center Alcohol Awareness Week was hypocritical Dear Editor: All the publicity about alcohol awareness at Parkside! All the wonderful things that can be done to help prevent people from over-indulgence! A full week is dedicated to creating an awareness about the dangers of alcohol. There are even free samples of nonalcoholic beer to show that there is an alternative...then the ball is dropped and you can not even purchase the non-alcoholic alternative. HYPOCRISY... put on a show of concern and then go on doing what was done before. "Pizza and beer" sounds and tastes much better than "pizza and pop"! Why not give the non-drinkers a choice? Why don't the Union follow through on the good idea they had during Alcohol Awareness Week and sell non-alcoholic beer. Dennis Bell Racism is unacceptable; we are all people To the Editor: ^ For centuries upon centuries this state of being persisted. Long before men could write of their "superiority," long before they could document their hills with pictures, long before the confederate flag was being sold in gift shops in the South. The sands of time trickled down, obscuring the hateful acts. Maybe even making them palatable, even acceptable, to the public at large. Laws were even passed, defining the rights of the "superiors" and the few rights of the "inferiors". Now in this "progressive age", when everything technical seems to be advancing at the speed of light, such states of being are not supposed to exist, surely not in this enlightened age, surely not after all we have been through and the struggles thought to have been achieved. But the nature of this beast is to feed off the fears and mindless hatreds of its followers. This beast is racism. Please, my fellow students, tell me racism does not exist. Please tell me that the beast is dead and that racial slurs such as those printed and handed out recently aren't really uttered by young, impressionable mouths. I tried to explain to my 5 year-old daughter what racism is the other day while driving home from school. I told her, "Some people believe that other people are not as good as they are because of the color of their skin." She thought about this for a while and said, "Why, Mommy? We're all people aren't we?" When I got home, I went in my room and cried for a minute, and thought, "Yes, we are."

MOVIE BRUNCH/ THEATRE MOVIE ROUND TABLE 4 Thursday, Dec. 8, 1988 Ranger JL<®i Students can decide To the Editor: A big deal was made this past week about some controversial literature that was distributed recently at Parkside. I think that the controversy shouldn't be as much over the material as the fact that now we are going to be saved of ever seeing this sort of material around again. It appears to me as though the administration has a lack of faith in the student body's ability to intelligently decide for themselves that this literature was wrong. This is as offensive to me as the literature itself. We attend the University in order to develop and learn critical thinking skills. We should be able to think about controversial literature like this, and make an intelligent decision for ourselves in favor of or against it. I realize that there should be no place in the University for a racist mentality, but I do believe that we are intelligent enough to decide that for ourselves. The people who distributed this material, whether we agree with them or not, have First Amendment rights. Perhaps they should have followed school procedures for distributing and posting information on campus-but even if they would have, I get the feeling that the administration here wouldn't have allowed it. I say, in conclusion, that the American University should be the arena where controversial issues are debated. Whether we like it or not, this sort of controversial thinking is out there in the world, and we must learn now how to think critically about these issues, in order to better deal with them. We can't do that if all the bad things in the world are hidden from us as if they don't exist. I can appreciate what the administration is trying to do, but maybe we'd be better served if some counter-literature was distributed, (giving the other side of the issue), some discussions were held about the topic, or anything to inform us and teach us to think critically about the issue, not keep the issues from us just because they hit a soft spot.

Bulletin policies seem unfair To the Editor: Parkside's campus security policies - which have been used repeatedly by administrators to stifle free speech and to impede "grass roots" organizational efforts - took shape in the fall of 1969, a time of reaction to "Flower Power," to the anti-war protest movement and to the, in some quarters perceived, "Problems of Emerging Minorities." That these so-called security policies have, from their inception, been productive of disaffection in faculty and student body - that they have acted to undermine that very "security" they ostensibly protect - seems never to have troubled the few Manchu-like administrators sent by Heaven to protect Parkside people from other Parkside people ... and from the contamination of the world outside the deer park. The Jewish Committee on the Middle East (JCOME) is an independent association of Americans formed earlier this year to give voice to the growing concerns among American Jews about Israeli policies and U.S. support for these policies. Shortly before Thanksgiving, JCOME national headquarters requested that I assist in making arrangements to have the JCOME prospectus of a ten-day trip to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip (the Occupied Territories) posted at Parkside. I did so, complying with the campus regulations which require registration as a community organization before posting on the bulletin boards. Or at least I attempted to comply with the regulations. I was flatly informed by the responsible administrator (Union 209) that as I was neither a student nor faculty member, there was no way I could be allowed to post JCOME material on the Parkside bulletin boards -and that the fact, as I pointed out, that the upcoming trip to the Occupied Territories at this historic time might be relevant in a small way to the purpose of the University was, and is irrevelant! The Parkside mandarinate has spoken. Last week (Journal Times, Nov. 30), Parkside Chancellor Sheila Kaplan defended the university's exclusionary security policies, stating that "this institution is not a lamp post on the street corner; it doesn't belong to everyone. When outsiders want to distribute or display material on campus, administrators must be Satisfied it is a matter of community interest. The only people who have the right to distribute literature on campus are recognized campus groups." These sentiments are truly remarkable, coming from the Chancellor of a public, taxsupported institution which has recently received much free publicity concerning a "Design for Diversity" reported underway. Sincerely, James Russell Brokaw, PhD Assistant Professor of Psychology, Parkside, 1969-72 Higher education grants cut OVER 31,000 STUDENTS TO HAVE FINANCIAL AID CUT Madison-The Higher Educational Aids Board (HEAB) announced last Friday it will cut $45 from all students who receive the Wisconsin Higher Education Grant (WHEG). 31,953 students will be affected by these cuts statewide. The Wisconsin Higher Education Grants are awarded to Wisconsin students enrolled as undergraduates in the University of Wisconsin system and the Vocational Technical Colleges of the state. All WHEG awards are based on financial need as determined through federal need analysis. "Once again, an extra burden has been put on the backs of students," said Jim Smith, President of United Council of UW-Student Governments. "Every year, students go in front of financial aids boards, the Board of Regents and the legislature to talk about the necessity of financial aid keeping up with tuition increases. No one ever opposes the concept of financial aid keeping pace. But then this happens and students get their aids cut. This is a shortfall of between 1.5 and 1.8 million dollars. It clearly shows that there is a need for some financial aid "catchup" in this budget. "Right now, students and their parents are looking at a 22% tuition increase over the next two years. On one hand we talk about the need to spend more money on faculty catch up pay and the quality of our instruction, but the students, parents, and taxpayers Monday Night Football • Big Screen TV • 50' Tacos & Tap Beer • s2.50 Pitchers of Beer During the game in the lounge only! MEX1CAX RESTJUiRAHTF- 5200 Durand Ave. 554-7200 who foot the bill are left behind." Smith added. "It's becoming very difficult to justify these tuition increases when the financial aid gets cut. Most middle class families don't even qualify for financial aid, but they are asked to support the university with their tax dollars year after year. There has to come a point in time when the students and their families become as important as the university itself." Part of the reason for the cuts is the high retention rates for students this year. There were fewer students dropping out of school this fall than in past years. This created a shortfall in the amount of money that was returned to HEAB as refunds from those dropping out. To that end. United Council and the students of Wisconsin are working with Representative David Clarenbach and a bi-partisan coalition of legislators to pass a tuition cap at 33% of instructional costs for undergraduate resident students in the UW-System. The tuition cap will create some accountability for the UWSystem administration to inform the tax payers where money is spent. Tuition increase will be tied to the costs of instructing students. The bill, which passed the state Assembly on a 70-75 vote last March, will be released early in the upcoming legislative session. Tuition has risen 118% since 1980. Students who will graduate this year have seen their tuition increase almost 50% since they were freshman, according to Smith. Ranger Thursday, Dec. 8,1988 5 Conference exposes problems between U.S., Canada by Kelly McKissick News Editor Nearly everyone thinks that the United States and Canada have been the best of friends since the beginning of history in North America. There are no refugees crossing the border from Canada to the U.S. in the middle of the night, or vice versa. What could be wrong with the relationship they have? Plenty, according to Todd Nommensen, a sociology major and Wingspread Fellow who recently attended a conference on "The U.S. and Canada: The Linkages of the States and Provinces." He found that he had much to learn about the relationships between the U.S. and Canada. "I never really thought too much about it, but as the conference progressed, they talked about how it was hard to get policies and things such as trading arrangements approved between the United Todd Nommensen States government and the Canadian government because of all the bureaucratic red tape. It was much easier to get things worked out between the states and provinces," he said. Nommensen said that provinces have more power than states do, so they are able to accomplish more without their federal government intervention that the states can. "So far, some of the things the states and provinces have done on their own are to establish trade between New York state and Quebec and organize the conferences of New England Governors and the eastern Canadian premiers," he stated. They discuss topics of mutual concern, such as acid rain, trade agreements and the pollution of the Great Lakes. They have even gone so far as to use reports from one country on these topics for presentations in another country. "I feel it was a real learning experience, because I never thought there was so much red tape between the U.S. and Canada. I think many things were solved at the conference because a lot of new information was ob- "Peppermint Bear" performance Limited tickets are available for Parkside's annual children's Christmas theatre performance of "Peppermint Bear" in December.

Nommensen said that throughout the conference, he had to make sure of the perspective taken by each of the speakers, whether they represented a federal government or a state or provincial government. He said a large number of those present were Canadians. "The premier of the province of Manitoba even came down to speak, so that was pretty exciting," he explained. He thinks that the conference will improve relations between Canada and the U.S. because "the more communication that does take place, the better everything will be. One point they made at the conference was that the faster they can talk about issues, the quicker they will be resolved. It is also easier to solve the problem at the state-province level than at the government level." ute balloons.

Father Mark Gotvald knows the experience all too well. He was ordained as a priest in May this year, so all of his experiences are brand new to him. "I'm getting a lot of hands-on experience, flying by the seat of my pants," he said. He was born in St. Cloud, Minnesota and was raised on a dairy farm. He went to St. Cloud State University for three years and then decided he wanted to try out the priesthood. He went to St. John's College as a senior and lived in the seminary. Gotvald knew he did not want to stay in rural Minnesota, so he joined the Dominican Order of Preachers in Denver, Colorado, and served a type of internship there. He also spent four years in St. Louis, Missouri, at the Aquinas Institute of Theology. He and three other priests moved to Milwaukee this year. "I'm learning about the problems of a homeowner," he said. "It's a lot of newness, a newly-ordained priest, new city, new job, everything." Gotvald is on the Parkside and Carthage campuses on into Job Father Mark Gotvald Wednesdays and Sundays, and is the Archdiocesean Director of Young Adult Ministry over a ten-county area. He explained the Young Adult Ministry is geared toward people ages 18-35. "Once people get confirmed, they tend to drift away from the church," he said. "We're trying to get groups going to parishes for people that age with activities, retreats, dedicational services, and so on." Gotvald said his main job at Parkside is serving as advisor to the Catholic Student Club. The club is currently running a video series by Richard BcBrian, "What is Catholicism?" An Advent celebration is planned for Wednesday, Nov. 30, in Molinaro 109. "Next semester, I hope to be organized and experienced enough to plan a trip to a Bucks game, go cross-country skiing, go see a movie or have a dinner together for the students," Gotvald said. He commented that the job can be overwhelming at times. "It is a good challenge. It looked like a plum of a job when I was applying for it. I have to try to balance all three jobs; it's a position-anda- half that I have to make into one position. For a newly- ordained priest, that's quite an accomplishment. I'm putting in a lot of 50-hour weeks," he said. Gotvald explained that it is difficult to get out and meet students at a commuter campus like Parkside. He said he is using the Catholic Student Club "as an avenue" to meet other students. "This semester, I'm just being visible, marketing myself," Gotvald said. He is available at the Catholic Student Club meetings and Wednesday afternoons and evenings for appointments. Classifieds FOR SALE FOR SALE: Lighted Beer Signs $3-10 each. Decorate dorm or rec room.

This grand finale of the Fall semester should prove to be well worth the wait. "Caruso" consists of three brothers; Joe, Mike, and Bob Caruso. Arnie Newman, a guitar player, makes up the fourth member of the band. Newman joined the band two months ago to replace brother Dave who recently went solo. The brothers started singing around the campfire with an acoustic guitar. Although they have been performing for almost 15 years, "we've only been working at it for the last seven or eight," Joe explained. This group labels their music as simply "pop". "I don't like to explain it further, I like for people to decide fo themselves what it is," explained Mike, the big brother of the band. "We do a lot of our own material," added Mike. But when the foursome first started out, they had to play a majority of material from other artists. This diverse band plays ten instruments, including: bass, piano, tenor sax, clarinet, flute, guitar, synthesizer, alto sax, clarinet, trumpet, percussion and drums. The band currently has four videos and two records out. Another album should be released in January or February. Lyrics such as: "making love is easy, but the loving is ation for Campus Activities (NACA) for "Contemporary Artists" three years running and for "Entertainer of the Year." They shared nominations for the 1987 CEA with the "Bangles" and the "Del Fuegas." They have performed near- "Caruso" members: Rob, Joe and Mike hard" and "growing up is aging you/an image of youth- /shattered on the floor/you're standing in the mirror/but there's no reflection" illustrate the thought that goes into them. "Caruso" has been nominated by the National Associly 2,000 shows, opening for Joan Jett, John Cafferty, Rick Springfield and UB40. They also opened for Corey Hart in 1987. Corey Hart received a bad review for his performance, while "Caruso's" review was excellent. They also worked with Dr. Ruth. "She was the most fun of all," Rob concluded. "Caruso" has been granted a showcase by NACA in February. Representatives from colleges around the country will be present to book shows for their schools. 300 acts applied, but only 25 were accepted. "I would suggest anybody coming to the Parkside show be ready to get involved," commented Mike. "Every show we do is different; we have quite a bit of personality in the show," Mike further commented. The band likes to get people from the audience on stage. "We try to draw members of the audience into the show," added Mike. Mike had a closing comment as to what his aspirations for the future are. He wants to "play a benefit to get John Denver a one way ticket to the moon. Any Parkside student who wishes to support this better show up at the dance." Opening up for "Caruso" on the December 9 dance will be the 1988 winner of Battle of the Bands; "Playhouse.' Doors will open at 8, with "Playhouse" performing from 8:30-9:30. Take a break from studying, writing papers and worrying about finals to shake it up with "Caruso' and "Playhouse". The best has been saved for the last.

I've made a lot of new friends and my life has changed dramatically. For example, I'm back in school now and doing well. But I'm lonely for my family. Some ot them are also addicted and are in various stages of denial. What can I say to help them get over the shame and fear of asking for professional help? You are probably the best example of how a person can turn their life around when they aren't ashamed to ask for professional help. I would urge you not to be modest when it comes to pointing out to your family the significant steps you've taken toward recovery and the positive things you've experienced as a result of y our efforts- Several new groups have been meeting on campus, there are sessions for alcohol and drug abusers as well as those who come from families with a history of alcohol and drug abuse. These groups could provided you with ideas on how to approach your family and provide the supportive environment you need during this period of your life. Student Health Services (MOLN D-115) has the dates/times/room location of these meetings. Keep ud your efforts. * F Since you asked... The Counselor's Corner There are those of us who get a grip on being depressed when it occurs and overrule it; there are those who make a good attempt at overcoming it but just can't seem to rid themselves of it no matter what they do; and there are no^hing but let depression rule their thoughts and behavior and remain miserable. A new study just published reinforces the idea of distracting ourselves from depressing thoughts as one means of lightening up (or "chilling out" as a friend of mine says). The research implies that if we could more readily distract ourselves from our negative thoughts, through either social, physical, or mental activity, we would be in better shape emotionally; the majority of people handle their occasional depresing thoughts in these ways. on the other hand, some people continually dwell on what s troubling them, which in turn gets them down even more, which prompts more depresing thoughts, and the vicious cycle continues. Depression is a very serious problem and the observations m this column are not meant to suggest that it is easily overcome. But obviously the majority of us who get depressed from time to time do cope effectively with it and probably by just as many means as there are people who overcome it. * H .

We're all subject to it now and then. Things don t go the way we want them to; we don't think we're getting the attention we deserve; we're uncertain about what our future holds; we're not living up to our self-expectations. For students there's even more to cope with: starting a new semester, assignments, mid-terms and finals, research papers. The list of reasons for why we get depressed seems endless. But you read and hear more about depression during this holiday season than at any other time of the year. Maybe it has something to do with the year coming to a close and a feeling that time seems to be passing so quickly; for sure the press of schoolwork is a factor for students; or maybe it's difficult for those who want to be involved with others, but don't seem to have a lot of friends and are therefore excluded, to see all the celebrating that goes on. Whatever the reason there are two things you must remember: first, no one goes through life without getting depressed once in a while (anyone who says they never get depressed simply isn't telling the truth); second, if you can't shake the depression, get professional help! Some people handle depression better than others. Classifieds Classifieds, from page 6 SUN - I grow, flourishing under your radiance.

He cruised through four matches without a serious challenge, and caputred the title with a 12-7 decision over Scott Donaldson of Carroll College. His earlier matches included a first period pin, and a technical fall at 2:05. John Karl, a 150 lb. junior, came close to getting the Ranger's a fifth championship, but lost a 4-3 decision to Mark Shuda of UW-LaCrosse in the finals. Shuda scored a winning takedown in the final seconds to deny Karl's bid for a fourth victory on the day. Two Rangers took consolation championships with Kevin Tremelling at heavyweight and Scott Wessley at 190 lb. Wessley, a freshman, was 4-1 on the day, suffering a semi-final loss to Joe Flegan of Marquette. Two of Wessley's wins were by pin, including one over Todd Campbell of Maransntha Bible College in the thirdplace match. Tremelling,a sophomore, was 5-1 with his only loss coming on a 1-0 heart breaker to Randy Meyers of UW-Whitewater. During the tourney, Tremelling scored 16 takedowns without giving up any. Steve Kimpel finished fourth at 158 lbs. with a 5-2 record for the day. Steve Rohrer and Mike Ekert also wrestled for Parkside, but did not place. Ekert, a freshman, went 1-2 for the afternoon, while Rohrer was forced to withdraw from competition after suffering a shoulder injury. Up until that point Rohrer had not given up a point during the tournament, getting two pins and taking a 7-0 lead before suffering the injury. It is not known the extent of his injury at this time. Coach Koch was obviously pleased with his team's performance at the meet, "We wrestled with outstanding intensity throughout the tournament today. We took eighty percent of our matches today, which is really an accomplishment." When asked about this year's early success, Koch pointed to Bob Gruner and Todd Yde, both former wrestlers who are helping coach the squad, ' 'Bob was a national champion and a five-time Ail-American, and Todd was a three-time All-American. They know what it takes to win, and they make sure that our team is ready for competition."

Litton was 13-3-5 with 65 saves and a goals against average of .683. Meadow was 0-1-0 with nine saves and a 2.00 goals against average. This year's top ten point leaders were (in descending order) Hansen (36), Lee (28), Peters (22), Chomko (21), freshman Maurizio Silenzi (15), Hung Ly and defenseman Bogdan Szafraniec (12), defenseman Bryan O'Malley (11), freshman John Luna (9), and defenseman Mike Baldwin (8). Hansen scored 12 goals, Lee scored 10 and Peters scored 9. Chomko, Ly, Szafraniec, O'Malley and Baldwin scored Lady Rangers ret by Vickie Pundsack After suffering two tough losses, the Lady Rangers left for Stevens Point with a record of 3-2 and returned home with a record of 4-2. Last weekend the ladies learned that mental attitude and enthusiasm plays an important role in the game. At Point, they displayed all of these skills. Their physical and mental concentration was very vibrant in gaining a victory over Stevens Point by a score of 64-55. The first half of the game was evenly balanced as both Parkside and Stevens Point scored 26 first-half points. The statistics looked pretty mulch the same for both teams. Their field goal percentages were .333%, making 10 out of 30 shots. Parkside was led by sophomore, Brenda VanCuick scoring 7 points and pulling down 6 rebounds and Freshman, Diana Weitzel with 7 points and 5 rebounds. Extra determination helped the Rangers in the second half. Parkside pulled away when 6' senior Sue Maass began taking charge, creating a fire that became very contagious for the Lady Rangers. Sue was high scorer with 19 I roup for win points, pulling down 7 rebounds and blocking 5 of Stevens Point's attempted shots. Senior, Susie Brugioni assist-*' ed with 16 points, while senior, Julie Slaats dominated the boards with a total of 10 rebounds. It was a well-played game that was very team oriented. All players took their turn at being in the "spot light". The field goal percentage for the second half was a key factor in this win. Parkside shot .548% for the second half," while holding Stevens Point to a mere .406%. Parkside's defense was very successful in stopping Point's offense from scoring off their rebounds, allowing themselves to. attempt as many shots as Stevens Point. Only, the Rangers dropped more attempts in than Point did. This game could serve as a stepping stone for the Rangers. Pulling out a win in the second half while playing an evenly matched team shows great concentration* and the ability to defeat all when having the right attitude.

Christmas Special: Model 30-286 Contact: Carmen Montecinos at the Microcomputer Center (D-l level, WLLQ. The 1988 Parkside soccer season ended abruptly before the area playoffs-for the first time in many years. The Rangers ended with a 13-4-5 record. Even though they lost in the district finals, the Rangers had the best team in the district and quite possibly : in the area. The Rangers filled seven of ; the thirteen spots in the NAIA all-district selection. Mike Baldwin and Brian Maher were two of the four selections on the defensive side. Mike Lee and Jim Chomko were two of the four midfielders chosen and Jens Hansen and Greg Peters were two of the four forwards selected. Mark Litton was the only goalkeeper selected and Rick Kilps was named the coach of the year. The Rangers also had two players selected in the Wisconsin Independent Soccer League (WISL includes many NCAA Division I teams). Jens Hansen was one of the three forward selections and Mike Baldwin was one of the three defense selections. The defense played very well this year. In fact three of the four team records are of a defensive nature; fourteen shut-outs in a season (10; 1982, 87), least goals allowed in a season (17) (19; 1982), and least goals allowed (per game average) .77 (.863; 1980). The last team record is most ties in a season (5) (4; 1978). The offense, while their was plenty of- individual talent, lacked team effort. Prkside's inability to make their shots count, ended their streak to the area playoffs. Parkside took 297 shots and scored 61 of t hem (only 21%). Individually the Rangers are awesome. This years Ranger team had three of the four point leaders Parkside has ever had. Jens Hansen has 80 career points as a sophomore and is only 14 points behind the all time leader. Senior Greg Peters holds third place with 76 points and junior Mike Lee hold fourth with 74 points. Jim Chomko and Hung Ly are eighth and thirteenth respectively. Junior Jim Chomko is the Ranger career assist leader. He is tied with Wayne Adema (1983-86) with 32 assists. Lee, Peters, Hansen, and sophomore Ly are fourth (tie), seventh, thirteenth (tie), and eighteenth respectively. Jens Hansen leads the career goals category with 32 goals. Peters, Lee, Ly, and Chomko hold third, fifth, twelfth, and thirteenth place respectively. Hansen is also tied for most assits in a game with four. Senior Mark Litton recorded the most shut-outs in a season with fourteen. Litton and freshman Joel Meadow combined for the lowest goals against average with .773 per 42 Thursday, Dec. 8, 1988 Ranger u(m -m* s®-.m Rangers play Jekyll & by Bill Topp v and Jeff Lewis The Parkside Ranger basketball team showed two entirely different looks in last week's action, a 63-48 v ictory over St. Joseph's College of Indiana on Tuesday, and a 68- 57 loss at the hands of Ferris State on Thursday. The difference in performance was simple, and could have been spelled out by any number of the grade school kids in attendence. No need for a Bobby Knight, Denny Crum, or Dean Smith to figure this one out. In the first game, Parkside made the majority of their shots, in the second game, they didn't. Against St. Joe's, The Rangers used the strong inside work of Greg Nash and Richard Delk, along with the marksmanship of Andy Schmidtmann, to jump out to a 43-27 halftime lead. Nash, a 6'2" guard, helped Delk hold off the taller St. Joe's front- Rod Whittier line, led by 6'8" Chris Brown and 6'7" Tim Strundna. Nash collected 14 of his 16 and Delk 11 of his 13 points in the first half. The duo also led the team with 9 boards apiece. Parkside outrebounded St. Joe's 28-26 and shot a healthy 54% from the floor, including 62% in the first tenure. Smitty also found the bottom of the net early and often, scoring 12 of his game-high 19 points before the break. The big lead let the Rangers work on their halfcourt, stall-type offense, using most of the 45 second shot clock on virtually every posession and cruised to the "W". The game marked the home debut of jr. guard Rod Whittier, coming back from a severe ankle injury in early season practice. Eight assists and only two turnovers in 34 minutes of play showed, the injury didn't slow the lightning- quick, little big man. Thursday's game was a different story. This game was not as close as the score would indicate, as the 11 point loss seemed alot worse. The Ranger fans should have been given a box of no-doz and a pot of coffee. Actually, there were a few bright spots. Greg Nash played a solid, all-around game totaling a game high 22 points to go with 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Center Rich Delk had his normal workman type performance, scoring 13 points and snareing 11 boards. These two could not overcome the rest of the squads dismal 38% field goal shooting. The Ranger's designated bombers (Whittier, Steve Jer- Friday, Dec. 9th PAB Presents FALL SEMESTER FINALE THE — BROTHERS DANCE UNION SQUARE, 8:00 p.m Students with ID $2.00 Guests 18 and up $3.00 OPENING ACT PLAYHOUSE Winner of 1988 Battle of the Bands 'Smitty" hit for 19 in win rick, and Schmidtman) shot a combined 5 for 28, a feeble 17.8%. Meanwhile, Ferris State had 4 different players in double figures lad by Marcus Kennedy's 14, six of them coming on exciting dunks which highlighted an otherwise boring game. The Rangers, 1-4, played St. Norbert's Wednesday, and take on Wayne State of Minnesota tonight at 7:30 in the Parkside Sport Center. Come to the game and "Say yes" to Ranger basketball. Wrestlers dominate Special to the Ranger The Parkside wrestling team crowned four champions and placed five others to win the UW-White water Warhawk Invitational this past Saturday. Eleven Rangers compiled a 39-9 record in competition with sixteen other schools to run away with the team title. Parkside scored 106.25 points, followed by Marquette with 64.25, UW-White water with 56.5, UW-Stevens Point 47, UW-LaCrosse 40.25, and Carthage 36.75. The 42 point margin of victory for the Rangers was the largest in the 16 year history of the meet. Arthur Demerath claimed Parkside's first championship See Wrestlers, page 10 Wrestlers to host collegiate tourney Special to the Ranger On Saturday, December 10th, Parkside will host the 17th annual Wisconsin Collegiate Wrestling Championship at the PE Center. Wrestling will start at 9:30 a.m. with the semi-finals set for approximately 2:00 p.m., and the finals at 6:30 p.m. There will be some 150 wrestlers representing 15 schools in the competition. An admission of $2.50 covers the entire day of wrestling. The meet, annually one of the top wrestling competitions in the state, will feature several All-Americans pitted in fierce competition. While no team scores will be kept, Parkside should be one of the favorites to collect their share of medals and trophies. Ted Price and Mark Hemauer (at 167 and 177 lbs. respectively) will both return to defend the titles they captured last year. Other Ranger wrestlers with aspirations of gold include Arthur Demerath (126 lbs.) Dennis DuChene (134), Tim Whiting (142), John Karl (150), Steve Kimpel (158), Rob Fox (167), Scott Wessley (190), and Kevin Tremelling (heavyweight). The Rangers will warm up for the tournament by hosting UW-LaCrosse in a dual meet on Friday afternoon. The meet is set to begin at 3:00 p.m. in the PE Center. The Rangers currently have a streak of 32 dual meet victories over Wisconsin opponents in tact, a streak which began in 1982. Come out and support the Ranger wrestlers this weekend.

Team performances were judged in a number of aspects, including cheering ability; transitions between the dance portion of the routine and the cheering portion; voice quality and sharpness; the quality and difficulty of stunts and pyramids performed; and the squads ability to involve and liven spectators. Parkside's team, competing against the all girl's squads, finished second to St. Thomas College in a good performance by the young team. Included in the Ranger performance were dance routines to "Wipeout" and "Wham Rap", and three cheers. Coach Candy Issetts was impressed by the Ranger showing, "The girls really worked hard to get ready for this. Needless to say, they did a very good job."

Plethora of problems face Campus Police Parluilde's latest"admlnlatratlve addition takes the helm of the Parkslde Campus Police Department today. On be- h{Llt of The Ranger, a warm welcome to David Ostrowski. d'strowBkl Is fIll1ng a posltlon that has been vacant since Ran Brinkman's retirement last June. Not wlthstandlng the fact that Ostrowski faces the chal- Ienge of adusting to a new envtronment, new underlings and lIUperlors, new procedures ... a new job, there exists a plethora of other Issues needing attention that face our new director. The Ranger has several concerns that we would like to raise. To preface these concerns, a few points need to be raised. FIrst, Parkside has been fortunate In that we have experienced few problema wlth Issues of security and crime ... yet. Second, campus Pollee Is a department you do not think about or hear about very otten; they provide services to the Parkslde community that have IIWe vis. Ible return to the students, The Parkside Pollee Depart. III8IItcannot enhance the quallty of education the Instttu- tIon provldei Its students, but It cantshould help preserve lhIa quallty. But more at1aaue are the following: • We have no more than two oMcers. full-time or stu- dent, on duty at any given time (special events aside). These officers are responsible tor patrolling the 7lJO-acres that comprise the grounds of the campus, ranging from housing to the Chancellor's offices. Obvlousiy, this Is a lot of territory tor two individuals to cover. The expanse of the Parkalde campus Is not lacking In potentlaUy prime areas for rapes, thefts or aasaults. • Due to bUdgetary constraints, the Sunday and Monday second shifts have only one omcer on duty. This means from .. p.m. to 2 a.rn. one officer Is responsible for locking up classrooms and buildings, palrolllng and responding to every call • knoWing that there Is no )mmedlate back up emcam_ II th1np get out of control. Ways of providing better coverage need to be found. • Another 1aaue facing Our campus Pollee is the prob- lem of jurisdiction of the residence hall property. It is our understanding that II a callis received by the campus dis. patcher regarding an Incident at the residence halls, the Kenosha Sheriff's Department must be called In before any legal action can be taken. campus Police does not have jw1sd1cUon and/or authority to enforce the govern. ing laws on the resIdence hall property. This is the case because ther residence halls are located on private property. Thus, our police are Impaired In their job of serving students and the campus. • There has long been administrative oppostion to the argument that our officers should be allowed to carry weapons. The only weapon they are allowed to carry and use, after being certlfled to do so, Is the PR-24, a.k.a night sUck, The poaslbUlty of confronting an armed individual exists: yet if a situation arises requiring a weapon, the likes of side arm, the responding officer would have to re- treat to Tallent Hall - where the police offices are located • and, U he/she is eert1..fledto use a side ann. check the weapon out of the weapon locker and return to the scene. How effective can this procedure be? Of course, the op- lion of hurling the two tons of keys they carry is always available. The issue of allowing officers to carry weapons needs to be rethought. And eo, In summary, these are just some of the con. cerns echoed by the students, faculty and staff of Park. side.

No organized student or staff group Is Involved in dis- trlbutlng this material, and it may well be that those In- volved are not members of the UW·Parkslde community at all. I hope that is the case, for racism has no place on this campus.

The American cancer Society asks au smokers to quit smoking for one day: Thllrs- day. November 17. several faculty members have quit over the past year, which [ust hoes to show, It can be done. You can quit and live to tell about II. Ross Gunderson qull smok- Ing about a year ago. "There are no hints (to quit smoking) It took the scare of cancer to make me do It," Gunderson. explained. As it turned out. he didn't have cancer, but the scare was enough to make him quit. And as for how he feels about other smokers, "I hope their time comes like mine, before they get Into truoble." Another faculty member. who wishes to remain anony- mous, quit two months ago. "I don't want to blow my own hom by saytog I quit." He qull smoking a few years ago, but then slarled up again. "A friend &ald, 'Just have a few puffs,' and wllhln three days I was back to two and a half packs a day." Now he has given up smoking again. He got mad al himself and coughed all the time which was his motivation to attempt quitting again. These are just a couple of the mlllions of people who have quit smoking. If you smoke. give it up for a day on November 17. If you don't smoke. help someone who does. The Pre-med Club will have a booth In Molinaro on November 17for non-smokers to "adopt" a smoker and offer support. No one says it will be easy. Withdrawal symptoms such as nervousness, restlessness, irritability, headaches, diz- ziness and upset stomach are not enjoyable sensations. But the good pari Is that they don't last. You have to mud- dle through the bad to get to the good. Ask any ex-smoker- if he is more happy with himself now that he quit. I'm sure YOU'll get a positive answer. So give It a try during the Great American Smokeout. What's one day without a cigarette? Questions about the London trip? Dear Editor: Many students have asked me about the March 10-29trip to London for which I serve as tour guide. I'd like to make clear that full payment of $1290.00 by December 5, to the Continuing Education Of- fice In Tallent Hall, guaran- tees the price. A deposit of $325.00 reserves a place on the "London and Theatre" trip; full payment Is due by January 19. (Our tour compa- ny cannot raise the cost by more than 10%). Students can also earn two credits for the trip by regts- terlng for English 290: 'Brltish Theatre. Tuition costs are extra, and one need not take the course In order to go on the trip. "London & Theatre" in- cludes three theatre perform- ances, three and a half days of guided excursions. a nice hotel In central London, breakfast and dlnner, several optional tours' to London', great muse~ms and art gal. lerles, and airfare on a regu· larly scheduled flight out from O'Hare airport. Further questions should be directed to the Conllnulllg Education Office, 553·2312. Sincerely yours, Andrew McLean Professor of English and JIU. 1J1anities .

Each insti- tution will establish its own goals, conduct primary reo cruitment within its own geo- graphical area, and work in close cooperation with local ,minority communities and school systems." To aid the multicultural en- vironment in the classroom, the report states, "For the 1988-93 time period, the UW System wm-tncrcase by 75% the number of underrepra, sented new minority faculty and academic staff hired as eompared to the preceding ftve years." Parkside cur- rently has 36 total minority faculty, instructional academ- ic staff and non-instructional academic staff. The report also stated that up' to $100,000 will be ear- marked beginning in 1989 to match institutional develop- ment efforts intended to im- prove ethnic studies. It said "funding should be requested for a systemwide minority faculty recruitment support fund to help institutions com- pete more effectively in the academic marketplace. " Total minority/disadvantaged program funding for the 1986- 8J fiscal year was $2]7,070._ Shaw said in his report that the plans for institutional im- provement of minority educa- tion he was requesting from each institution by January 1989 must include: "an as- sessment of the institutional environment, including stu- dent services, admissions, registration, student pro- gramming. academic per- sonal and finacial counseling, and other aspects of the msn- Madison boycotts UC over scuffle by Abu Hassien The UW·Madlson Student AIeoclaUonwalked out of IJIlitedCouncil General As- :Dlbl y Saturday, Nov. 5, bOY- ~ lling the meeting because a physical assault by ~d Governance Director Pre MCGinnison Madison Co- 11lu81dentNoel Radomski on fail rsday, Nov. 3, and the Iak UTe of United Council to e lIJlmediateaction. ~aret McCormick, dre n CO-PreSident, ad- Ihe ';d thedisappointment of G, adisondelegation to the ~etaJ Assembly and the ~ dent'scommittee for not ~c<:~ an,yaction to prevent Saturcta s attendance at the "0 y summit, froDl ur delegates must hide halls staff members ...in the Ue IIIand stalTWeUs (during Illlck eellngS)," said McCor- the IX, She contin,;,ed, stating by MYcottof Umted Council discl;:,sonWllJcontinue until "I'\Te ary action is taken. lion, Ie he.ard talk of suspen- iIlclle rrmnatlon Without pay, ~nnln n:'matlO n With pay, To t10n w a e someone, the ac- tauyOUldhave to be' specifi- Iol>'t related to the job.

There were no wit- nesses to the event, although McGinnis has admitted to the physical assault. McGinnis presented the in- cident to the Shared Gov~- nance committee for thetr reaction, and denies that it was related to United Coun- cil.

He gained the support arid confidence of the committee with the exceptIon of Madison." . 'It's a personal affaIr. I wasn't acting as a membet: of United Council, I was actmg as Rob McGinnis," stated McGinnis. Although he was present at the Saturday meetln/?, McGinnis had informed hIS commit.tee that he would not be in attendance. The Gener- al Assembly was, according to Hearron, "supportive and pleased by his decision to at- tend." "1 find it ironic that in Sep- tember, Madison requested General Assembly to overlook their failure to pay for mem- bership for the summer. A liberal compromise, one. that strongly favored Madison, was reached. Now, they want to be strict on this, going as far as a walkout if they don't get what they waJ?t." sai~ Ross Pettit, PSGA vtce-Prest- dent and delegate to Direc- tor's committee. "Parkside could never get that kind of leverage." . It was discovered m Sep- tember that Madison failed to pay for membership for the previous three months, al- though they did vote and par- ticipate as a full member. General Assembly decided t? require payment from MadI- son for only a portion of the debt, requiring them to cover the costs of Unit~d Councl1 programming in Madison. . t "Let's stick to our name, commented Smith. "United Council. We're not very united when one of our m~m- bers walks. What MadIson wanted was a reaction. Now. we need to get all the facts and determine the best course of action." new program tutional setting and reward systems that might affect mi- nority enrollment and reten- tion." Chancellor Sheila Kaplan assigned goals to each of th senior officers on campus to meet the January deadline. Grace said Student Affairs is 'working on two issues at present. , The first is a racial conduct policy, to which Grace has al- ready appointed a committee. "That committee is to come up wilb a proposed racial conduct, non-dlscrtmtnatory policy for the campus relative to racial misconduct, racism, racial slurs and anything that has to do with discriminatory behavior towards minori- ties," he said. The committee wlll be looking at pollcies some of the other campuses in the system have already passed to formulate their own policy. The second major goal is See Design, page 4 Changes in add/drop policy have been recommended for Fall 1,989 Jon Hearron Editor-In-Cbief Parkside's add/drop pollcy was recently reviewed by the Academic Policies committee in accordance with a man- date by the Board of Regents. The mandate requires that any university having a drop rate exceeding five percent must review their add/drop policy. Last year, Parkside's drop rate was 5.4 percent. The eight member Academ- ic Policies committee has for- warded two recommendations to the Universtiy committee, according to Chairperson Jeanie Thomas. The first pro- posed change is to limit the number of credits that can be registered for during early registration. Presently, the upper limit for early registra- tion is 20 credits. The second proposal would entail the administrative drop of any student not attending class for the first week. Ac- cording to Thomas, "This may already be an option open to professors. If this the case. all that needs to be done is remind people (professors) that this Is something lbey can do." Students would be allowed to register for these classes again. Thomas stated, "These changes have shown positive results on other campuses around the state." Thomas also added that Parkside Is not that far from the five per- cent level targeted by the Board of Regents. If the Uni- versity committee and the Faculty Senate are in favor of these recommended changes, they will be implemented by the 1989 Fall semester. Inside...

Design for Diversity was a report given to the Board of Regents by President Kenneth Shaw In April of this year. as an improvement to his earlier proposal to address ml- nority affairs. A Shared Commitment. This report is a plan out1in1ng a course of action to be taken by each sys- tem campus to improve and increase minority programs. awareness. enrollment and retention. Design for Diversity targets the minority segment of the UW System student body. The systemwide plan sets goals of a 50 percent Increase over current levels of minority freshmen and transfer stu- dents by 1993 and a 100 percent Increase by 1998. The UW System Is committing a great deal of financial and staff resources to this program and rightly so. The question is: will we reach these goals or Is it just another program that will fall by the wayside? What makes us think we can now achieve new goals in the area of minori- ty affairs when we haven't in the past? One minority student said. HI never felt like a minority until I came to Parkside. It This raises another question: will Design for Diversity segment and Isolate minority students from the mainstream of the student body by bringing so much focused attention to them? We hope not. Though ethnic student enrollment this academic year is up 6.5 percent over last year's figures. Parkside has a long way to go to meet the System mandated goal. For one thing, the administration could begin by finding out where Ute University stands in relation to where we need to be by 1993. No office on campus has statistics available on the retention rate of minority" freshmen and transfer students. Retention Is the first Issue addressed (page one. first paragraph) In the UW System's Design for Diversity. Also, has any evaluation been earrted out on the effecti- veness of past minority student recruitment efforts and the advantages of having an office the sole mission of which is to serve minority students? The Ranger endorses this proposal. and will do what It can to help the University fulfill its goals in this area. but until answers are found to questions such as the above. the prospects for its successful implementation are up in the air. by Jon Hearron Give it a 'college try'...

Next week's story will deal with some possible solutions for these students and the Uni- versity as a whole. The posters have been hung around campus.

On July 1 of this year the State passed new legislation stating that the exemption age had been dropped down to when the oldest child turns two years a old. This Is where the conflict begins.

Thiswas fourth in a series of programs at Parkside cele- brating the Bicentennial of the United States Constitu- tion. The discussion featured a number of prominent and knowledgeable participants. Opening the program was ProfessorKenneth R. Hoover, formerprofessor of Parkside, now at the center for 20th CenturyStudies, UW-Milwau- kee. Wisconsin Assembly- man. Jeff Neubauer. made a short presentation outlining hiS personal experience with politicalaction committees or PAC's. Four panelists, two pro and two con, included: senator WUliam Proxrrrire ; prominentWisconsin lobbyist Peter Chrlstlanson; Common Cause in Wisconsin's Execu~ UTeDirector Willtam Hauda; and Wisconsin Education As- sociationCouncil's Executive SecrelaO' Morris Andrews. AUwere there to deal with the question of the constitu- llonality of PAC's and their lnfiuenceon the political elec- lionprocess. Political action committeeS ARE non-party organizations or political interest groups that contribute money to can- didates for publtc office. PAC's have always been around in one form or an-: other, but the number and kinds of PAC's have grown sharply since the passage of the 1971 Federal Election Campaign Fund Act. Amend- ments added in 1974 limited PAC contributions to $5000 per election for each candi- dste for federal office. At the state level, much more gener- ous gifts are ailowed and many states have no limits at au. Controversy arose as the .,::umber of PAC's grew and ~oto by John Kehoe ~llIiam Hauda,. Executive Director of Common Cause in Wiscon- Sin, exp.lalns-hIS stance on public financing and why candidates for public office should take advantage of it. contributions to candidates multiplied. In 1974, PAC con- tributions totalled $12.5 mil- lion. By 1984, this grew to over $105 million. As of 1987, PAC's supplied more than one-third of funds for House candidates and close to one- fifth of Congressional monies. Senator Proxmire said that PAC's donations unbalance the opportunity that candi- dates have for running for of- fice. He said that with PAC's, elections become .'not a mat- ter of free speech, but of dol- lars." Proxmire argued that many interest groups. make contributions to sway a legis- lator's stand on key issues. This, he states, equates to "iegal bribery" that has been "perfumed to kill the odor of corruption. ,. Morris Andrews made the rebuttal that some PAC's allow. people without individ- ual political clout to make their views and attitudes heard. Historically, he said, teachers have been one of these under-represented groups. Andrews said educa- tion PAC's have a positive, balancing influence by unit- ing people with common in- terests and providing them with a means to vocalize their concerns, Andrews did not support all PAC's, just ones that did not center on single issues. In regard to the legiti- macy of PAC's, Andrews felt that If pOlitical candidates make total and complete dis- closures of their campaign expenditures, it would then be up to the general common sense of the voters to decide whether or not the funding methods were acceptable. William Hauda agreed that there was the need for full disclosure. but did not feel that that would solve the whole problem of alleged PAC abuses. He went on to cite the problems of donations from other sources. These in- cluded the several thousand dollar honorariums for speeches and appearances, $100 per plate luncheons and breakfasts, as well as other campaign fundraisers. He emphasized the point that PAC's only represent a small minority of the populace who are trying to advance their economic agenda. Hauda suggested that peo- ple should take advantage of the "public financing" option. See Debafe, page 3 . Thursday. Nov. by Scott Singer Although Parkside has not experienced any major mi- nority student problems, a student government organiza- tion effort has arisen to cover this and. other minority topics. The Minority Actions Committee (MAC) was de- signed to handle any prob- lems that might occur con- cerning minority students, in addition to promoting "posi- tive ethnic relations," said Ross Pettit. In the fall of 1987,under the direction of G. Gary Grace, Wayne Williams, Director of the Center for Cultural Ad- vancement, had been directed to form a committee such as MAC. Since It did not occur as planned, "Student Govern- ment was frustrated by a lack of significant progress by the administration on creating such a committee. So we took the initiative, H said J. Mark Hall. Establshed in April of 1988, MAC Is headed by Hail, Mi- nority Affairs Director, and Pettit. 'vtce-Prestdent of 3. 1988 PSGA. The committee "was created with the intention of increasing the studentj; voice in minority student con- cerns," Pettit said. Pettit said that MAC "has a mission that is two-fold: to monitor the effectiveness of policies Initiated" by the va- rious campus groups, and "to promote racial harmony." Pettit also stated that they "want to make sure more than lip service is paid to stu- dent concerns. ,. Pettit feels that MAC is unique in the sense that since j 'Parkside has not expert- enced blatant and public sian. der against minorities." Pet- tit also said that the effort is one of being "pro-active" to- ward minority student con- cerns, rather than waiting for a problem to occur before acting. Pettit was quick to stress that the "watchdog orgaruza- tton" represents more than minorities. He satd that MAC was for the j 'economically disadvantaged as well as for ethnic groups."

For others, the university experience is one of self-improvement. It may be said of all students, you are on a path of success. All too frequently, success is mistaken for a destination, when in reallty, it is a journey. Occasionally. when you perceive this journey to be a destination. you lose sight of your purpose. When the work. the exams, the studies become overbearing, frus- tration and apathy set in. It is at preciseiy this point that you must remember your mission: this work no matter how trivial it may seem, is another opportunity along the journey. . Furthermore, it is noi enough to just get the work com- pleted. It must be the best you are capable of doing. In the 1950's and 60's, Sears came up with a promotional idea to motivate their sales personnel to sell more expen- sive products with longer warranties. The Sears saying may be one to which we, as students can subscribe. "Good, better, best ...never let it rest .. :tU the good gets better and the better gets best." We are midway through the 1988 Fall semester. The going may be getting tough, so just remember, that's when the tough get going. During this season of mid-terms, keep your head above water.

This booklet, which was a collection of poetry, short stories, artwork, and photography offered students both the chance to share their work with others and the op- portunlty to be published. This year, a new drive has begun to keep Parkside's literary magazine alive and submissions are now being sought. Those who are willing to contribute to Somewhere in the Room can place their work in the English Club's mailbox in the PSGA office. Somewhere in the Room is a necessary literary voice here at Parkside and I encourage .all students to submit some- thing of theirs to this publica- tion. Sincerely, Luke Klink We the People .•• To the Editor Not too long ago America celebrated the refurb"lshlng of the Statue of LIberty. Millions of dollars were spent in an at- tempt to try to patch up a symbolic stone and an Ameri- can conscience. People throughout the centuries have tried to patch up the aesthet- ics of society while the inside - slowly rotted away. It's not wrong to fix up a statue that brings back memories to thousands who No12odv.asked me, but. .• Some children received more than treats on Halloween Halloween is over, but It hasn't been forgotten. At least not in my eyes and the children who received a spe- cial "treat" in their bags. Many found an anti-Hallow- een carton and brochure. The cartoon entitled "The Trick" is a story about "little Johnny" who is killed in the name of satan whIle trtck-or- treating. It depicts several scenes of satanic worship. The basic idea of the cartoon is to convince children that Halloween is nothing but evil and shouldn't be celebrated. Do they actually want us to believe that little kids dressed up as angels and clowns are evil because they go trick-or- treating? That's what hap- pened to the kids in the car- toon. The back of the carloon booklet says "compliments of Lighthouse Baptist Church. Racine, WI." What do they think this is going to accom- plish? Sure. it may scare the hell out of little kids and anger parents. but will any- thing constructive come out of it? Some of the older kids may get their curiosity peaked by this and become interested in the topic of satanism. The cartoon was also ac- companied with a brochure entitled "The Dark Side of Halloween," by David L. Brown. He states that, "Hal- loween has always been a celebration' of death," and goes on to explain all of the harmful effect. The last page of the brochure offers alter- natives to Halloween. In- stead, people should have "Glory Gatherings" where Christian videos are played and Christian songs are sung, excluding all reference to Halloweeen. Finally, at the end there are several quotes from the bible. I am not, by far, a devil worshiper or an athiest. I found this material to be ma- nipulative of the bible and a detrimental way to go about convincing people not to cele- brate Halloween. I don't doubt that the history of Hal- loween had something to do with the occult. But today Halloween is supposed to be a fun time when both kids and adults can dress up and pre- tend to be something or some- one else. That tartnest thing from their minds is satanic worship. Many churches give Halloween parties for their parish and perhaps even have haunted houses. It's harmless fun. - I don't object to the cartoon and brochure being printed, after all, this is America. Everyone is entitled to think what they want. But, I feel that the distribution of the material could have been done in a more discrete man- nero Give It to the parents, not the kids. by Laura Pestka EDITORIAL STAFF Jon Hearron ........................•..

Through a 8-0-0 vote at the meeting held Friday, Oct. 21, PUAB decided to pass a new policy allowing the sponsor- ing organization to decide the alcohol policy for their dance. Organizations have three op- tions to choose from: (1) hav- ing the beer garden up, allow- ing guests 18 and up to attend the dance but allowing only those of legal drinking age to . enter- the beer garden, (2) keeping' the beer garden down, allowing guests only of legal drinking age to attend the dance by allowing beer to be consumed anywhere in the Union Square or (3) having a dry dance, opening the event up to the general public. The polley was amended to state' that the sponsoring or- ganization must report to PUAB several weeks before their dance Is to be held with the rationale for their dect- sion on the alcohol polley for that event. The amendment passed 8-0-0. The new policy was imple- mented in the hopes of ap- pealing to all student organi- zatlons. Diane Welsh, Coordi- nator of Student Activities, felt the new polley would be a good Idea because sponsoring organizations know what kind of audiences they will attract with the entertainment they choose. The Parkside Activities Board (PAB) Live Entertain- ment Chairman Franca Sava- gUo stated that P AB will pro- , , J ompson gram dances that will fall under all three alcohol polley options next semester. Mark Thompson, PUAB Chairman, said, "I'm very glad it's over. We're satisfied with the outcome. I think It will help out a lot with dance programming. '0 PUAB also discussed the al- cohol policy options for other campus special events (come- dians, P AB Night LIfe events, etc.) because they have been growing in popularity over the past few years. It was agreed that the beer garden would not be put up for these events, so PUAB focused its attention on security officers. Welsh felt that at least one officer should be present at the event. She said others could be hired If the event seems to be generating a lot of student interest. The Issue was tabled until the next PUAB meeting so more information could be obtained on costs for addition- al officers. Inside... Page 2...· - Halloween hoaXed for Madison· :' Page 3...

Alcohol Awareness by Scott Singer An open debate on the state's drinking age was held on Wednesday, Oct. 19, as part of Parkslde's Alcohol Awareness Week. Keith Rob- erts, a drug and alcohol counsetor, and GU Meisgeler. President of the Tavern League of Wisconsin, debated as to what the legal age for consumption of alcoholic bev- erages in Wisconsin should be: 19or 21. Alcohol Awareness Week. which was sponsored by Resi- dence Life. Campus Police. Student. Activities, and the Rec Center. presented this. and other activities, to ralse the knowledge and awareness of the students. Attracting 25- 30 people, the debate was held in MaIn Place. Roberts, a recovertng ad. dict himself, supported the 21 year-old drinking age. Stress. ing education .as his key point, Roberts sald he pro. motes "decisions based on factual Information." Contra. dieting the very essence of the debate, Roberts claimed to be neither pro nor con on the drinking age of 21. He cited interaction with "vic. tims of substance abuse." and proceeded to preach the evils of alcohol. .,Alcohol opens the door for a Officer Brian Ketterhagen end RA Jackie Connors hend out alco- hol awareness pamphleta before the debate. . rant/tavern. He stoood for the drinking age of 19.Calling his opponent and those who sup. port the present age of 21 "prohibitionists", Melsgeier said that they were imposing prohibition on a class of citi- zens: those under the age qf 21. He feels that legislators passed the law to please a certain type of voter. He claimed that they do not think that 18, 19, and 20 year olds vote, and that the meetings . and debates were dominated by "senior citizens that have nothing better to do." -When the drinking age was raised to 21 in Michigan in 1930,the consumption of alco- hoi did not change. Melsgeier said this was because the same poeple were drinking even if they. were under age. they just found different ways. With a bill being worked on for a lower drink- ing age, he said the Tavern League and himself want to pro"'de younger adults with a better drinking environment. Stating that the higher 'age has forced 19and 20 year-olds "out of the bars and into the cars." he wants to see these people drinking in an estab- lishment rather than in an un- controlled environment. He argued that If these drinkers drink in a legal environment they have presures not only - other substances," Roberts claimed. "You are more likely to try other substances when under the influence of alcohol." He made an analo- gy of what alcohol does to the body, and compared alcohol eating away paint off of a piece of wood to alcohol eat- ing away at the mind and. morals of a person. Although he did not present any actual statistics or infor- mation, Roberts did take a strong stance on making good judgment calls. "If you need alcohol to socialize, then you've got a problem." he said. Because of what alcohol does to a person under its in- fluence, he urged that when "people choose to drink, they be responsible about their drinking." He also said' that people should go beyond what they hear from people SUch as himself and research for themselves effectively to make an intelligent decision. Meisgeier, in addition to his role as President of the Tav- ern League. owns a restau- from their peers, but from older adults and owners who may ask them to leave If they get out of hand. The floor was opened up to questions after the debate. Jay Lewandowski, President of the Student Government Assoclalton, presented the fact that in the first year after- the drinking age was raised, deaths related to drunk driving decreased. he also stated that after that year. that number increased until It surpassed the ortginal level. Melsgeier attributed this to uncontrolled underage drinking In. which groups of drinkers, who may have only wanted to drink a smail amount, pooled their money to buy liquor in bulk and pro. ceeded to drink It all. StreSSing that the present drinking age was passed by only two votes. Meisgeier presented many solutions. be- yond lowering the drinking age, to control the deaths and other problems related to ex- cesslve drinking. He proposed educallon at the junior high level to prepare for drinking In later life. In addition to et- forts SUch as the Designated Driver Program. he proposed systems to make drinking be- fore the age of 21 a privilege that could be taken away if abused.

Schilling Cup was announced at the Park- sIde Student Government As- sociation (PSGA) Senate meeting last Friday . The award is "dedicated to the honor and memory" of the address UW Board of Re- gents President Paul R. Schllling gave at the Parkstde 20th Anniversary reception for the Regents on Thursday, Oct. 6. PSGA Vice-President Ro3S Pettlt, creator of' the award, said, "Paul dellvered this me- morial and riveting address to the approximately 315 guests while under the exten- uating circumstance of sub- stantial consumption of fer- mented spirits." Pettit stresses that the award is a legitimate honor, "given to individuals or groups for outstanding vocal representation of the stu- dents at Parkside. It is a demonstration of the appreci- ation and recognition by the students for those who put time, effort and energy into representation of students. ,t The first recipient of the awarded was unanimously. <named' G. Gary Grace, As- ststant Chancelor of Student Affalrs. Grace was given the award for the "excellent job he did in trying to give the Board of Regents a Parkside student profile in four minutes," Pettit said. He ex- plained that Grace was hon- ored to learn he was the first to be given the Schililng Cup. Tbe award will remain in the PSGA office along with a llst of those receiving the award. Pettit said the senm. ing Cup will be awarded "as the Senate deems appropriate for representation worthy of recognition. _ It is also award- ed annually to the best repre- sentative of students over a period of one year.

As a two-term former delegate to United COuncil, I can attest to the fact that the participation of ParksJde in UC is a corn- plete waste of time and money. It Is not merely the cost per student per semester (50") but the mulU-thousand dollar expense that PSGA must budget each year to send the delegation to the meetings. The travel money, food and lodging allowance would be better used to lobby local legislators. In my two year experience In UnIted COuncil, I found that the issues discussed at the end of the second year were the very same ones which were discussed at the beglnnlng of my first year. I hardly call that progress! In addition, Parkside's campus, because It Is part of the UW System campus, will beneflt from any financial aid legts- latlon or tuItion caps that UnIted COuncil could possibly successfully attain. As a former SUFAC chair. I feel It is imperative that Parkside students continue to be prudent In their spending and that they keep the money on campus where it can do the most good. There were many long faces after the budgeting process last spring; perhaps there would be more money to go around lf UnIted COuncildid not take such a bite. VOTE NO. GET OUT OF UNITED COUNCIL! Sincerely, Jenny carr Fonner Editor, SUFAC Cba1r, PSGA Senator ALL RIGlrr- IT WAS PRE.11Y FUNN'!' WHEN GE.ORGE BUSH SAIO ON SEPTf,MBER SEVENn~ THAT IT WAS pEARL Hi\RBOR DAY. Are students coming first? To the Editor: In the October IS issue of the RaDger I read a "Nobody asked me, but..;" column by Mark ntompson of the Park· olde AcUvltlee Board. I must oay that I was cl1Rappolnted by lhls peroonal attack on me. Mark was supposedly re- sponding to a column in the September 29 issue of the Baager. but somehow It turned Into a personal attack on Jay Lewandowski. U Mark Thompson, or anyone else for that metter, has a question for me they are welcome to come and ask me FACE TO FACE. The opInIon I stated In my article was the same one that I have been expressing at the Parkslde UnIon Adviso- ry Board meetings all year. As Mark so apUy ex- plained: The poll that ran about the cage was an OPIN· ION poll. ThIs is Amerca, Mark. Everyone is entlUed to their opln.lon. I merely chose to express my oplnion on an Issue that I felt strongly about. If you remember my article 1 had onIy praise for P AB and all the work that they have done. Yet, In his arllc1e, Mark accuses both the RaDger and myself of "bad judgement" for not express- Ing both sides of the Issue. I would Uke to refer to my arti- cle; I did state why P AB wants to put the cage back up. Furthermore, I was stat- Ing my OPINION, It is nei- ther the Ranger's responsibil- ity. nor 1151t my own to state both sides of an issue when an OPINION is being ex- pressed. Mark goes on to state that, ·'the reallssue is... whether or not guests will be allowed In that are under the legal drinking age." I have to disagree. The real issue Is: will Parkslde stu- dents be allowed to have non- student. under age guests ac- company them to dances. Perhaps Mark does not realize that the money to put on all dances comes d.1recUy out of the tuition that each STUDENT pays. Perhaps Mark does not realize that the primary responsibility of P AB is to provlde activities for Parkside students. Per- haps Mark does not think that the students should receive TOP prtortty when an event is being planned. I agree that some students may choose not to attent events on campus Ii they can- not bring a friend. But, In his letter Mark talks about allow- Ing 20 NON-STUDENTS Into an event that was planned and paid for by the sru- DENTS. C,mon Mark. get real! If we can allow the stu- dents to bring a guest so they have someone to talk to. let's do It. but don't spend the STUDENTS JIlOlje.)L.Oll, NON· STUDENTS_ THE STU- DENTS MUST COME FIRST! In one of Mark's closing statements he uses the word, "crazy" in reference to me. I would Uke to remind Mark of the strong 1Il0vemenl' to get the cage removed last year. The current 'pollcy Is the re- sult of months of work by many students, including my- self and past P AB officers. If you ,re calling me crazy Mark then at least I am not alone. I could go on to answer each misconception, para- graph by paragraph, In Mark's letter, but by now I think you all realize that Mark Is trying to make this a personal vendetta. I will not stoop that low. Mark is the only person I know that has ever compared P AB to a Nee- Nazi organization! PAB members recognized See Leiter, p. 3 IT WAS FAIRLY AMUSING WHEl'l HE JOKED ON SEPTEMBER. 1WENTY'FIFTH 1HAT IT WM C.HRISTMAS, Non-trads have it made Non.tradltlonal students. We have tt made. We've been out In the world for awhile. In some Instances a long while. so we know what we want out of life. We've had varying degrees of expertence dealing With people In counUess ways so we can easily handle different teaching styles and class sttuatlons. Our social ltves are well established so we don't look' to our time on campus as a time for Interactldn and growth. We've done all these things and can now concenlrsts fully and exclusively on our studies. Right? Wrong! To many people - other students, faculty, sci. mlnlstators, family and friends - these truths seem to be self-evldent. However, if you could climb Into the mind of one of us "non-trads" you would see how far from the troth those assumpttons can be. We come to school with just as much baggage as every· one else. Most of us are back In the academic realm be- cause we are at a' turnlng point In our lives. Weoften come in search of new direction or with a direction in mind that changes as SWiftly as that of the traditional freshman. WhIle we do have social lives and support systems, many times they are not able to absorb the unique experi- ence of being back in school. Yet. because of lifeexperl- ences, we know how important it Is to take full advantsge of an oppportunlty like education. We want more than reading and writing, We've come to a place In our lives that enables us to celebrate the d1/fer·. ences In people and we want to be a part of the eelebra- tion. We are trying to tie all the pieces together somehow, to add a new facet while maintaining the old ones, Being a non-trad has its benefits. We do have a long hls· tory to draw on when In new situattons, professors seem fairly approachable and we usually have a support sys· tem willing to help us even though they rarely understsnd us. But being an older student, by virtue of itself, doesn't ma~e our time in school easier. We want as much as the tadltional student, maybe more. We want it all, Wehaves lot to offer but we also want to listen. So the next time you see an "old person" sitting in the coffee shop come over and say "Hi". Let's talk.

Who made ' sure that there was a mandate In the state budget that required child care costs be taken into account for student parents' financial aid award? And who lobbIed the Board of Regents to make sure that ALL aca- demic misconduct allegations are appealable? It was not "luck". IT WAS UNITED COUNCIL!! United Council is more than just a one weekend a month deal. Mthough they were busy with reorganization last year, United Council was able to achieve many of Its goals that benefit Parkside students immensely. Now If you would Ilke to delve back into the present, you would see that United Council is not only reorgan- Ized but more united than It has been in the past several years. Every four year campus in the Wisconsin sys- tern are FULL MEMBERS OF UNITED COUNCIL. This unprecedented unity should mean even more victories for Parkside students In the fu- ture. Vote YES on October 19 and 20. I would lIke to make a few comments concerning the re- sponse this newspaper made immediately after ChrIsto- pher Balerl's Letter to the Editor In the October 6 edt- tion. First, this newspaper (or any newspaper) has no bust. ness making an editorial reo sponse immediately after a Letter to the Editor as the one this newspaper made last week. If the editorial staff wtshed to make those reo marks then they should have made them In their origlnal. editorial concerning United Council on September 29. You had your opportunity to voice your opinion. Now, unless there is a serious error, stu. dents should be able to freely respond to the editortsl con. tent of this paper without a further editorial immediately after a Letter to the Editor. Second, in your response to Christopher Balerl's you made part of your argument by using the "let me delve Into the past" method, Maybe you should "delve into the~ past" once more and see what else Uitlted Council did. While you are accurate that United Council spent a great deal of time debating reor- ganlzation, who was It that lobbied a proposed tuition in- crease of 14.3o/d 1 down to 9.9% -a savlngs of sixty-nlne dol. Nobod¥ asked me., but PAS' members not neo-Nazis In the September 29th issue · of the Ranger. an editorial · written by Jay A. Lewandow- ski, President of PSGA, was published. In It, he expressed · his views on the current guest polley at university dances. What he provided was a one. sided view of the issue, and a pretty unclear picture of what the real problem is. First of all, I'd Ilke to con- gratulata Jay on his timing. As most of you know, hope- fully. the Parkside Union Ad- visory Board (PUAB) con. . ducied an opinion poll last Monday through Wednesday .asking the students oi Park. side to express their views on the current guest policy. As a member of PUAB, Jay knew that the poll was to be as un- biased as possible. But by getting his edItorial In the Ranger published two school days before the poll was to be run, he might have swayed some people to vote to keep the beer garden> down, be- cause they weren't informed of all the issues at hand. Whether his timing- was In- tentfonat or not, and Jay is free to express his opinion anytime he 'wants, I feel it was, ,bad judgement on his part ior not expressing all viewpoints, and bad judge- ment on the part of the Ranger for printing oniy one side of this hotly debated issue. The real issue isn't whether or not alcoholic' beverages will be served at University dances, but whether or not guests will be allowed in that are under the legal drinking age. In the first semester oi last year, the 'beer garden' (or 'cage") was set up at dances sponsored -by the Parkside Activities Board to comply with the university policy at that time. Since the avallabtl, Ity of alcoholIc beverages to minors was very limited, the Parkslde Activities Board was told It would be alright to allow guests Into the dances who were under the legal dringking age (18, 19, and 20 years old), as long as they were accompanied by a.Park- side student, The number of guests per student was two. During that time attendance at the dances increased. Well, If attendance In. creased over that time, how can Jay state that, "If we are going to choose to revert back to an unacceptable plan. namely the 'cage', ..." or "I'd llke to say that we shouldnot be considering any sltualion that negatively affects our students. The 'cage' has del· rimental effects on all partlct. pants attehding the dance. "1 Are you trying to teU us thaI people loved the negstive,t· iects of the 'cage' and liked to be adversly affected? I t1lInk the attendance increase was due to smart programming and publicity of the events as well as having a guest policy that was acceptable to the students. Last semester, when PAa learned that the beer garden could be eliminated, we were pleased because dt would open the entire facility to every' one. It was only after the beer garden was down thai we learned that our guest policy would have to change. And here Is where the debate starts. Most of the students whoat- See Nobody. page 5 Fred Monard! WLBRreorganization delayed progress To the Editor: OHHHHHH BY GO- SHHHHH, Its another letter about the radio station HELP HELP HELP. I can't read anymore. Well, I get sick of telling this story to people and that ts Why I am writing It down. I would lIke to clear up some of the misinforma- tion of the PSGA President's letter last week and inform you of the PSGA actions In the past few weeks. Alex Petlit may have had the Idea of a campus radio ' station, along with 1,000 other campus students. Talk and campaign promises are cheap, but good work ts hard to flnd. Two senators did at. tempt to form a radio station Jast year. They failed along with other atiempts for the past 10 years. Those senators' did not pass on any informa- tion to me, nor did Alex have any research on the radio sta- tion. ~. The PSGA President stated last week that other commit- tee chairs wrote reports over the summer. I also sit on stu- dent services committee ~ and SUF AC, both standlng senate committees. Those commit- tees did not have a chair for the last 4 months. They have not had a meeting In the last 4 months and ha ve not SUb4 mltted any reports for the last 4 months yet, nobody at the PSGA cares about that.

Chancellor Kaplan He had to orientate the insti- . tution in a more realistic way. in that we would have 5500-6000 students," Kaplan explained. Guskin also continued to build up the University's fac- ulty. "I think one of the more impressive accomplishments of Par-kstde. when you com- pare us to like institutions, is that we really have a flrst- class faculty for a non-doc- toral institution," she said. Kaplan feels that her chal- lenges are outlined in the con- vocation speech she gave at the beginning of the school year. She said that Parkslde has the potential to have re- gional excellence in most of our programs. "My commit- ment is to build the programs we've got in that direction," she commented. In Kaplan'S convocation speech, she mentioned a num- ber of those programs at Parkside, Including the Bio- logical Sciences Department, the Division of Education's Schooling and Human Diver- sity program; ChIld Care Cen- ter, Regional Staff Develop- ment Center, Freshman Seminar Program, pre-med program, Intercollegiate Ath- letic Program, Learning As- sIstance Center and the LI- brary/Learning Center. Kaplan also said in her speech that the University Is seeking accreditation for the engineering program through the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and for the business program through the American Assem- bly of Collegiate Schools of Business. She hopes that Parkside can make the term "regional institution" a reality for Parkside. "The vast majority of our students come from this region, and with the demographic changes we're going to be seeing In Kenosha and Racine, it's imperative that we become better adept at serving a multt-etnntc 'clientele."

One candidate was offered an- other job, so The committee interviewed the rematntng five candidates over the past few weeks and chose the final three candidates for Goetz. Goetz conducted his own in- terviews of the candidates on the same days that they were up before the committee. Goetz then had a meeting with the committee after all the interviews were com- pleted to get the committee's feelings on the candidates.

After that, we had a pretty See Police, page 4 by Kelly McKissick News Editor Our campus has the distinc- tion of being named a .'Center of Excellence" for our biolog- ical sciences department, one of 49 such distinctions in the enttre UW·system. The Cen- ters of Excellence were ap- proved at the Sept. 9 meeting of the Board of Regents. According to the Center of Excellence proposal format and criteria for selection released Oct. 12. 1987, pro- posals "must demonstrate that the proposed centers have national or regional rec- ognition for excellence or the potential for such recognition and tht they must detail plans for demonstrable impact upon the quality of under- graduate or graduate educa- tion.' , Parkside nominated two programs for the Center of Excellence title, the biologi- cal sciences program and an education division program on multi-cultural education. .The education program was not selected. Becoming a Center of Ex- cellence is no easy task. Ben Greenebaum. Associate Dean and Division Head of Science. explained that Parkslde went through a thorough evalua- tion of the biological sciences program before it was SUb- mitted to the UW-System. Dr. J. Lawrence Fox, a scientist at Abbott Labs In North ChIcago, and Dr. Charles McCormack, a professor of Physiology and Biophysics at the ChIcago Medical school, reviewed the program. Their reports were Included In the proposal package to the UW- System. Sp.eclflc objectives of the program Included activities to strengthen the research ex- perience for undergraduates, increase the number of aca- demic achievers in the biolo- gy program and broaden their geographic distribution, maintain and expand the cur- rent strength of the pre- health professions program and maintain and expand cur- rent outreach activities of the department. The proposal was submitted to the UW-System and was . evaluated by consultants out- side of the UW-System. Park- side's proposal was pooled with other science program proposals for review by science-orientated panelists. Those reports were then given to mixed paneltsts, and recommendations were made. "System pretty much ac- cepted what the paneltsts pro- ' posed," Greenebaum said. He explained that the Center of Excellence has one real and one potential meaning for Parkside. "It's a formal recognition by the people at System and these external reviewers of something that we've been bUilding for a long time. It's a ratification of some real strength that we already have. You couple that with the (Molecular Biology) Mas· ters program and Dr. Chen getting the Distinguished Pro- fessor award, and we've real- ly got the gold stars here." Greenebaunf said.

To new and old-timers: congratulations on belng privi- leged members of the Parkslde community In this, the 20th anniversary year. Through the years this parttcular lristltutlon has seen a great many trials, tribulations and periods of transition. This time through the academic calendar is no exception. The WLBR controversy is representative of several dift1- cult Issues that the Student Government Is facing. The Parkslde Unlon Advisory Board has experienced many d1U1culties In establishing a standardized Unlon alcohol policy. In regards to this being a year of transition, there Is a plethora of new faces including members of the fac- ulty, staff and administration. . Nonetheless, Parkstde has continuously maintained a standard at excellence In all areas of higher education paralleled by few other institutions of Its genre. case In point. we now have a center of Excellence in our Blo1ogi· cal Sciences Division. Similar to Presldentlal candidate. Governor Dukakls' statement that the "best" America Is yet to come, we be- Ueve the best Parkslde Is yet to come.

The best option we can take as students Is not based on a cowardly apathetic "with- draw, whither. and die" attt- tude. LIke any undertaking, what we receive as an end re- sult Is based prtmarlly on what effort we pa~e as a whole. Unlted Council Is similar to our local, state and federal legislatures In that only our representatives can actualize the potential effectiveness of a governing body. cecesslon from a vital union Is rarely the best action of recourse when such potentlal Is not realized. I suggest we each pay the annual dollar, and request that our appointed represent- atives to Unlted Council ac- tively parttclpate In the effort to make Parkslde and the UW System a better environment for all of us as students. Commendations to Mr. Kehoe and l\Ir. Hearron on publlcl&lng the elemental facts regarding Unlted Coun- cU. However, they regretably neglected to present the un- derlylng Issue only hinted at In the second to last para- graph of thetr editorial. . You state that there Is a need for an organization. such as U.C. to exercise and pro- tect students rights, but sug- gest that since Unlted Council Is not quite cost effective In your opinion, the only viable alternative Is to collectively withdraw from the state-wide organization. I assume then that you know of an alterna- tive, more cost-effective means of protecting student rights? I, for one, do not. Speaking from my two year experience with the Parkside Student Government and Unlted Council, I can safely say that U.C. information and inspiration were Instrumental In many of the PSGA Senate's lobbv efforts. campus presen- tations, and dealings with fac- ulty and administration.

Let me delve Into the past. Last year United CouncU wasted ten meetings on re- structuring the organization. Two changes were made: 1) a new committee was created (Shared GQt)emance). and 11) representation based on campus population. These are corrections that do not repair the actual problems, which are inherent to its admints· tratlve helrachy: too many people doing the wrong things. Due to the concentration of time and resources on re- structuring last year, lobby- Ing efforts failed. This year the names have changed.. but the plot remome the same. Granted, United Council is an excellent source of infor· mation and support for our student government to tap into.. but, again, is it worth the approximately $2500 In annual travel expenses.. the $5369 that United Council is . budgeted to receive from Parkslde this year when the same basic services can be tlbotight" for '500' This is the question put be- [ore the students of Parkslde. October 19 and 20 you will have the chance to answer, Anniversary To the Editor: Here we go again. I'm sorry to bother you, but last - week's letter to the editor contained a great deal of mis- information In regard to WLBR. I find thlsrldleulous as well as unfortunate. To begin with, the author obviously was not a Parkslde student In the '86·'87 spring semester. If they had been they would know that one of the platforms which Alex Pet- tit ran for the office of PresI· dent on was to. estsbl1sh a campus radio station in addl· tlon to increasing student In· volvement. In that same semester the radio project was initiated and later fell through. ;\II this occurred while Dan Perrault was stllf In high school At this time I would liketo say that not once have I ques- tloned Perrault's dedication to the radio project. In fsct, I know of several occasiont, that Perrault put himself and his own money on the line to further the cause of the radio project. It should be noted that he was never asked to do this.

UC is an effective way to lobby state legislators. Last weekend (Sept. 23-24), UC established its platform for the 1988-89year. According to their plat· form,.

Sept. 29. 1988 Ranger lour view A question of value... United Council is an entity the likes of no other In the state. They speak on your behalf. Let me ask you a quee- non: what Is United Councll? It would not be surprising to find that few Parkside stu- dents are aware of what V.C. Is. Regardless of whether you are familiar with the term United Council or not. you are paying for It. Fifty cents per student per semester is paid to United Council as a mandatory refundable "mem- bership" fee. Thts does not Include the additional ex- penses of sending seven PSGA representatives to U.C. meetings In state vehicles, hotel accommodations and mlscellaneous costs each month. United Council is an organization whose membership conaists of student bodies throughout the University of Wisconsin System' that chose to belong. that lobbies the atate legislature and the Board of Regents on issues and concerns facing students (e.g., drinking age; tuition cap and system pollcies). The next question to be asked Is what has United Ooun- cll done for you. the Parkside student. Basically. not a thing. The recent successes of United Council (e.g, add- /drop. academic misconduct chapter 14) can only be at- tributed to good luck. not good lobbying. Its failures (e.g. tuition cap, 19-year-old drlnk1ng age. and non-traditional tinanc1al aid) show a series of miscalculations and blun- ders. On the other hand, the most prevalent activity of United Council Is the careful ptannlng of the fights between mem- ber campuses. On the occasions that we have accompa- nied the PSGA delegation to U.C. meetings, we have seen nothing but unpolished polltlcklng. By no means are we trying to say that there Is no need for an organization the likes of U.C. to safeguard student rights. We belleve that this representative body, to which we are paying large sums of money t is not adequately serving Parkslde's needs or interests. Is the service worth the price tag? You, the students, are going to have the opportunity to voice your op1n1onon Parkside's membership with United Council Oct. 19 and 20. by John Kehoe and Jon Hearron YMFARIIDI By GARY LARSON I IL.::..YO_U_P _vi_ew_s__ ----:~~_____:_--l On the opposite end of the wire To the Editor: It Is past tlme to set the re- cord straight on what has happened In reference to WLBR, the student radio sta- tlon at Parkslde. I can personally attest to the fact that the 1987-88idea for the station originated with Station Manager Dan Per. rault. He chose this pursuit as an Internship project. He, to- gether with an outstanding Radio Production Committee. worked to promote, organize and operate the station by June. 1988. I know Dan Per. rault and I know of the many hours of labor put Into this project. Not only did he con- tribute labor. but enthusiasm. organizational skills and his own capital. I can provide names, titles and phone num- bers of people who can' vertt- fy how Dan lald his time and money on the line for WLBR. He used his own vehicle to transport the needed equip- ment from Burlington. Mil- EDITORIAL STAFF Jon Hearron ...•.......................

He put up his own money for items when approval was slow In coming. During the summer, while many vacationed In various parts of the country. he and the committee worked tire- lessly to produce a solid con- stitution and set of policies and procedures, based on re- search accomplished by con- tactlng several schools and stations. The PSGA President called three Council meetings duro Ing the summer vacation pe- riod. (How can any valid school business be decided during a term break. when Council members and others are not In school or are on vacation?) These meetings should be declared null and void, because they were not publicized properly and not attended by a majortty of representatives. The PSGA President fur- ther claims In his letter to the Ranger (Sept. 15), thai credit for the radio statlon belongs to Alex Pettit. Even Alex doesn't claim that dlslinction. I refer Mr. Lewandowski to the March 24. 1988 issue of the Ranger, where on page 3, Alex Is Interviewed about his year in office. Question one and its answer contradict Jay's contention: Question: ,"What was your grea ted accomplishment In office?" Answer: "Probably the radio station, although that wasn't my personal accom· plishment. ... I'd have to point to that as the besi thing for the students and the uni· versity .,;" It's time for the PSGA lesd· ership to abandon their jeal· ous, arrogant attitude and work with the WLBR commit· tee for "the students andthe university" as Alex believed. And let's accord credit where It is definitely due! P.A.M.Mon< Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
