The policy was _ changedearlierthis year after ques- tionsconcemingits constitutional- ity arose.

"I'm disappointed that the board decided to repeal the rule," commented Lyall in an interview in the Milwaukee Sentinel, "but we are not going to letup in our efforts to protect our students from ha- rassment" Lyall added that options that could be considered in the future include: allowing deans on indi- vidual campuses to penalize stu- dents who use offensive speech; turning violators over to the court system; and discouraging such be- havior through student orientation programs. Anthony Brown, Director of the UW -Parkside Center for Edu- cational and Cultural Advance- rnent, believes the Board of Re- gents is merely "hiding behind" the free speech issue. "There are some things that you can't say in public," said Brown, "whetheryouhavetheright to free speech or not" Brown noted that he felt di- verse ideas and viewpoints were New development center to promote better learning ThenewUW-Parkside Fac- ultyDevelopment Center will atternpt to promote better learn- ingenvironments for minority, older, and women students.

It will be located in the Li- brary-Learning center and will train 15 UW-Parkside faculty in it's first year (1992-93). Those faculty members are: Sylvia Beyer, Erika Hoff- Ginsberg,LuciaHerrera,Peggy James, James Kinchen, Donald Kummings, Alan Shucard, Maria Leavitt, Judy Logsdon, Roseann Mason, Sue Norton, Mary Kay Schleiter, Gerhard Schutte; and Gary Wood. These faculty will work with student associates and a peer consultant in order to de- velop strategies for teachmg a diversified student populauon.

Chancellor Sheila Kaplan feels confidcnt that the removal of the hate speech language will not mean offenders will now go unpunished. "We already have, in UWS 17, sufficient authority to be re- sponsive to abusive behavior, and we have taken action before on this campus," noted Kaplan. "The repeal of the hate speech lan- guage simply means that we will continue to take action, except we'll take it under the other pro- visions of UWS 17. "We continue to have suffi- cient authority undercurrent state and system policies and legisla- tion to provide for an atmosphere of stability and tolerance," con- cluded Kaplan.

Clinton economic plan discussed via satellite Dennis Clarke News Editor A video town hall meeting sponsored by the Democratic Party of Wisconsin linked voters from nine locations throughout Wisconsin last Thursday night, including about 80 people at the UW-Parkside Communicatipn Arts Theatre. The forum, entitled "Puuing People First," dealt with Demo- cratic Presidential nominee Bill Clinton's economic plan for the nation. Panelists included: U.S. Senator Bill Bradley, D-New Jer- sey; Governor David Walters of Oklahoma; and U.S. Congres- sional nominees Peg LaUlenschlager and TO(jlBarrett, both from Wisconsin. Walters, Lautenschlager and Barrett were in Milwaukee; Bradley joined the conversation from Washington, D.C. "This is an auernpt to break open the political process, get away from the soundbites and paid advertising, and have a su~- stantive discussion on economic issues within the context of the fall campaign," commented Jeff Neubauer, chairman of the Demo- cratic Party of Wisconsin, at the program's outset After the hour-long statewide program ended, local labor and po- litical leaders stayed on to discuss various other issues brought up by the audience. Although there was some dis- cussion on issues such as racial har- . mony and drug use among youth, most of the statewidediscussion dealt with economic issues. Panelists outlined what the Democratic Party feels needs to be done to help the econom y. and how the Bush administration has failed to address economic issues. "We need to recognize that there is a need for change." commented Lautenschlager, a candidate from Wisconsin's 6th Congressional Dis- trict "We need to recognize the con- cerns of working families and focus on issues like the budget deficit, re- building America, and investing in out children and in education. "We need to look at health care, which is a fundamental portion of that puzzle that allows us to experi- ence economic growth," continued Lautenschlager. "It's time to return to an economy where we stress produc- tion and not simply profits for a very few." GovernorWallers told the au- dience that voters should support Clinton because he has a plan for the economy, and Bush does not. "At least we have a plan." said Walters. "When you don't have a focus, there's not much you can do." Barrett, a candidate from the 5th Congressional District, also commented on Bush's ineffective- ness. "Little has been done." said Barrett of the Bush presidency. "The presi dent four years ago prom- ised to be the environmental presi- dent, but didn't really do anything there. He promised to be the edu- cation president, but didn't per- fonm there. "He doesn't seem to really be in the swing of things," said Barrett. "Bush views the central cities as foreign countries rather than for- eign counuies as foreign countries."

Cook News Writer hdl b New UW System admission gn policies that will require an extra year of high school math and sci- ence are being hailed gratefully by Ip severalprofessors vitally concerned Iii about present University resource allocation. Admission policy changes ap- J proved by the OW Board of Re- gents will require freshmen to take an additional year of math and sci- II 'a ence to meet entrance requirements to OW campuses. These changes will come into effect "beginning with students graduating from high school in Spring 1995," according to an Executive Summary issued July 10, 1992. "We are currently teaching four courses that should be taught in high school," reported Dr. Youn W. Lee, Chair of the OW- Parkside. Mathematics Department "This takes time and energy away from what can and should be done." There are currently approxi- mately 450 students enrolled in Math 101, a high school level class. Remedial classes are a drain on the University's re- sources, according to Lee. Time and money spent on adjunct fac- ulty, classroom space and admin- istration could be better chan- neled elsewhere, Lee concluded. Edward P. Wallen, Chair of the Department of Biological Sci- ence, concurs. "It is an issue of resource allocation," he said. "I Continued on Page 2 nside... See who won the mock elec- tion results.

'6 CleanAir Act will force increase in employee carpooling Nick Zahn Assistant News Editor ~ Studies have shown that South- east Wisconsin is currently in a - . severe air pollution status. As re- quired by the Thc Clean Air Act of 1990, UW-Parkside will have to submit a plan by March 1993 de- tailing how it will reduce the amount of employee vehicles com- 109 to campus. The Department of Natural Resources has determined that since motor vehicles are 57% of the causeof ozone pollution, major employers, those wi th 100 or more employees, will be required to re- duce the number of cars coming to Work. The state University there- ~ . .. ore, IS a major employer. . Anaveragevehicleoccupancy WIll need to be . b . established by each alusmess. "So what Parkside and I the other businesses in Racine and Kenosha will be required to do IS to figure Out, number one how many people we have comi~g in how many cars, what our average vehicle occupancy rate is." said Campus Police Chief Dave Ostrowski. Dave OstrowskI "There will be a percentage, probably about 20 to 30% we're going to have to reduce down so that we drop below or match the average vehicle occupancy of the whole surrounding area. In other words, so that we have more people coming in less cars. Chief Ostrowski further ex- plained that the survey could ei- ther take the form of a question- naire in the the mail or by actu- ally standing in the parking lut counting the number of vehicles and their occupants as they come to work. In either case it will be costly and labor-intensive, ac- cording to Ostrowski. However, this won't neces- sarily affect all faculty and will definitely not affect the students, as Chief Ostrowski further ex- plained. "For example, this re- duction only has to occur in a time frame of 6 AM to lOAM on a weekday morning. The reason behind that is that that's your peek rush hour traffic. So they feel that you shouldn't penalize somebody who comes in and is working second shift that isn't driving in rush hour traffic." "When you think about the fact that we have roughly 650 . faculty and staff members here, we sold roughly 570 permits. So those figures work out pretty good when you look at who works here during the evening hours." "Third shift custodians don't need to buy a parking permit be- cause we don 'tenforce permit park- ing at that time of night. So when you look at that 650 employee fig- ure and with that we've only sold about 570 permits that's probably about right," continued Ostrowski.

Wallen stresses that students will be the real benefactors of the new admission policy. "For the students it is beneficial because money spent in remediation could be better used." Dr. Ben Greenbaum, Dean of the School of Science and Tech- nology, also emphasizes the im- pact of the Board's admission policy changes on students. "By and large, the students who currently enter the University ...but the courses are al- ready there."

Page 6 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 7 UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - PARKSIDE Annual crime prevention month observed at UW-Parkside Alan R. Cook News Writer "It is always easier to prevent something than to deal with it af- jerwards." With these words, Assistant ChiefjDirector of Campus Police andPublic Safety Thomas J . Knit- ter sums up the focus of UW- Parkside's observance of Crime Prevention Month. Crime Prevention Month is observed during October by law enforcement agencies across the United States. It is intended to promote citizen awareness and par- ticipation in crime prevention ac- tivities, "We need the involvement of citizens to do our job," Knitter stresses. "You are our eyes and ears." The most important step that members of the campus commu- nitycan take to assist Campus Po- lice,according to Knitter, is toedu- cate themselves on how not to ap- pear an easy victim for the oppor- tunistic thief or assailant "People must be aware that our campus is not some kind of magical area where nothing hap- pens," Knitter insists. "We are really no different than Regency Mall. Weare a special community, but we are not isolated from the outside world. "People must use common sense, for the potential for crime is here,justas it is anywhere else," he said. "Use your common sense and use your intuition," pleads Knitter. "If people look at something, and their intuition says that there is something wrong with this picture, they are probably right. "D n' m it over until ou Sheila -Kaplan are finished with your next class," continues Knitter. "Call Security right away. Please." Knitter notes that this is the only way Campus Police can inter- vene before a problem occurs. Dr. Gary Grace, Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs, re- ports that the Campus Police will be releasing a brochure contain- ing detailed consumer informa- tion during Crime Prevention Month. The brochure will in- clude statistics on crimes, detail police procedure and policy and offer a reminder of the penalties for various crimes. A direct response to the new Campus Security Act, instituted on September I, 1992, the bro- chure will become a federally mandated annual publication. "The premise of the Campus Security Act is that an informed public is a safer public," states Grace. "There tends to be a 'what, me worry?' attitude that pervades college campuses," muses Grace. I "We must shake students up a little bit ... develop a more street- wise attitude here." Grace joins Knitter in call- ing for the development of com- man sense crime prevention tech- niques. For example, Gracenotes, people ought to team up when walking or jogging around cam- pus at night. "People have to realize that we are not in the land of Oz,' Grace emphasizes.

"You'd thmk this being an election year, IJJore people would have shown up." AsHolmberg stood outside the ;:: irying torally interest, George s tried to understand the low turnOUl I "EverYbody'S in different CUbs, and it's reall y hard to get everybod y together at once," com- mented Harris. Neumann and his wife, Sue, did not seem bothered. "Most of our meetings are nOI this small," he said. "It's gotten to the point now where generall y we have a pretty fair turnout The last college campus I was at (UW- Whitewater) we had standing room only." Neumann, a former math teacher turned businessman turned politician, said he decidcd to go into politics after taking a look at what was going on in the country. "The mindset that has allowed this nation to reach this disastrous situation is pretty sick," the candi- date proclaimed. Neumann accused incumbent Les Aspin of overspending tax- payer dollars, receiving too much special interest money and having a poor voting record. "Les Aspin overspends every- thing he's doing," Neumann said of his opponent Neumann blamed a lack of positive leadership for the country's woes. "Ifyou'reaDemocrat,you're going to say it's Reagan's poli- cies and President Bush's poli- cies," commented Neumann. "If you're a Republican, you're go- ing to say it's the Democratic Congress. "I'm about America, and I don't want to know whose fault it is. I want to know how to solve the problem. "The way to break this sys- tem is to form a coalition that is united and caring about America," Neumann continued. "We're forming groups allover the coun- tty with candidates like myself, and when we are elected we will eliminate the 'good old boy' sys- tem, if at all possible. "I'm very optimistic that we will have a solid voting block of 30 or 50 [in Congress] that just plain votes together when it comes to the budget," noted Neumann. Neumann's main topic Monday night was the national debt. "The solution is to quit spend- ing more money than they have," he said. "That is the only viable option we have. "My recommendation is that we tell [Congress] to bring back thcbud- get with a two percent increase or Jess, or resign. "If they had done to my com- pany what they've done to thiscoun- try," he added, "I'd fire them." Neumann, pan owner of a Janesville construction company, stated that increasing taxes on the wealthy is not the solution, since companies would either leave the country or increase the price oflheir products. "When they increase the price of the product," he said, "it comes right back to the middle and lower classes. and if they take the com- pany to Mexico, people lose their jobs." He also did not feel that de- creasing taxes on the middle class would help. ''I'd love to decrease taxes, but I don't think that's the answer. What we need [0 do is decrease spending while increasing rev- enue." Neumann discussed problems with the social security system, which he feels can also be solved by paying off the national debt. "The social security system is self funding and would takecareof itself if they left their grubby mitts off of it," he said. In closing, Neumann urged college-aged adults to vote.

In 1971, tuition was $451, or 12.7 percent. Grover favored a plan that would vary tuiuon according to each student's family income. Some regents voiced concerns over placing a cap on general tu- ition policy, noting that inflation hasjumped as much as 14percent per year in the past. However, other board mem- bers said that the Board of Regents had to, because of strong public response, put a maximum on what the tuition increase would be.

Studey apprenticed for four years and interned for two under the close supervision of an experi- enced midwife. She has her certi- fication with the Midwife Guild. Although midwifery has been practiced in Wisconsin for fifteen years, there is no state certification and is even considered a felony in certain states, incJuding Illinois. However, in many states including Wisconsin and California, mid- wifery is legal, complete with hos- pital privileges as necessary. The word midwife means "with woman," and Studey and other midwives across the country are dedicated to taking the fear and mystery out of a perfectly natural phenomenon.

According to Talbert, pedi- atric nurse practitioners work with families and educate young moth- ers about health and nutrition, as well as making necessary arrange- ments and referrals with state agencies and physicians. Practical nursing came about as a result of the shortage of doc- tors in economically deprived ar- eas, and many practical nurses work with the poor, promoting well ness, counseling on family behavioral problems, nutrition, safety, and in some cases. just helping families meet the most basic needs, such as shelter.

Page 7 VOLUME 21 ISSUE 9 • Dean requests review Regents resolution Nick Zahn Assistant News Editor "Dennis Dean filed a request for a circuit court review of the BoardofRegents resolution," said Mark Nielsen, Dean's attorney. Dean wasterminated from his post September 11 as professor of En- glishandHumanities in a decision by the University of Wisconsin Boardof Regents. "The essence of the petition filled by professor Dean is that it challenges thedecision of the Board of Regents on the grounds that it doesnot meet the basic require- mentsof dueprocess," said Nielsen. Nielsen pointed out that the BoardofRegents didn't make any findings of facts on their own but ratheradopted the faculty commit- teefindings of the facts. "While professor Dean was accused on fourseparate counts and was re- quired to answer to each, the com- mitteedidn't state whether he was guiltyofone or two or three or four ofthosecharges or none. ''Theyjust basically found that hewas guilty of an overall viola- tion of sexually harassing some- UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN - PARKSIDE of Board of one. We have no way 01 knowing - what the committee actually found happened. That is not appropri- ate," said Nielsen. One of the other challenges is the age of thecomplaints. "Profes- sor Dean was required to respond to complaints that were three and six years old," Nielsen explained. According toNielsen, had thisbeen a criminal case the charges would have been barred by the statutes of limitations. Further, "had it even been an employment case brought under state or federal statutes the charges would have been barred as being too old. "Here in acase with more sub- stantial stakes, the man's employ- mentand career, they use these old charges." The circuit court will now decide whether or not the pro- cedures followed by the university met administrative and constitu- tional due process. "The University policies on sexual harassment are very well intentioned and they're perfectly valid in what they are trying to accomplish," Neilsen added. "It's just that they are formulated very vaguely so that it' sdifficuluo know hew they should be ujJpiiw," What may change in the fu- ture, according to Nielsen, is that university policies on sexual ha- rassment will be made moredefi- nite in terms of time guidelines and in terrns of what type of pen- alties should be invoked. "These are changes that will accomplish what is a very important goal in our educational selling - protect- ing students and employees from sexual harassment - but also tak- ing into account the difficulties that are faced with someone who is accused with sexual harass- ment" The key to solving the situa- lion is to strike a balance. said Neilsen. "It's not that anybody , here on the part of the university or the Board of Regents is acting in an intentionally wicked man- ner." Neilsen concluded by say- ing that some of the worst situa- tions occur when good people are weilding too much power. "Even though it may not be malicious in intent," hesaid, "that isthe whole idea of procedural due process to limit power:' Favorable alumni reaction to UW-Parkside Alan R.

"B Y far, the majority who re- sponded were satisfied with work I doneand experience gained here," reports Thomas. ~ During the spring semester of 1992, the survey, sponsored by the OfficeofUniversity Relations, was sentto some 6,900 graduates whose addresses were known. Slightly over one-third ofthesereturned the survey. "The alumni who responded, then. are clearly a self-selected sample; their views represent the most positive (and perhaps the most negative) opinions of those held by the entire population ofUW-Park- side alumni," Thomas wrote in her report. "Alumni, on the whole, be- lieve that the education they re- ceived at UW-Parksidc prepared them well for subsequent undertakings ...and contributed to their personal growth." A variety of questions were asked in the survey, ranging from job satisfaction and income iocom- munity activity and involvement in civic affairs. Graduates were asked about a wide range of skills and experi- ences gained here, including math competency. writing and research skills and aptitude incritical think- ing. Seventy percent of survey respondents reported that they were employed full-time. Nearly 50 percent said their loyalty to UW-Parkside was strong or very strong. Two-thirdsofthosesurveyed said the University prepared them for their current jobs as well as competition with other people from larger, better known univer- sities. Sixty percent of recent graduates expressed satisfaction with social and cultural activities on campus. A note of concern was ex- pressed about how area employ- ers may view the quality of edu- cation offered at UW -Parkside, ", .40.7% of the total sample be- lieved that they would have bel- ter chances for employment if UW -Parkside had astronger repu- tation among employers in their field," Thomas wrote.

Campus police strive for higher safety belt usage Dennis Clarke News Editor As pall of a uationwide caru- paign initiated by the U.S. Depart- ment of Transportation, UW- Parkside's Campus Police Depart- ment ismaking an effort toconvince students, faculty and staff to use their seatbelts. Pavementmar!tings and signagc urging drivers and their passengers to buckle up, surveys designed to guage the level of seatbelt usage among members ofl.he Parksidecorn- munity, and participation in Well Day '92 activities are examples of thepolice department 's commitment topersuade people to use their safety belts, according to Thomas J. Knit- ter, Assistant Chief/DirectorofCam- pus Police and Public Safety at UW- Parks ide. "We did an unannounced sur- vey earlier this month with the help ofthe Peer Health Educators group, and we found our compliance rate to be roughly around 44 percent," commented Knitter. "\Vc',,~ got a way to go in terms of boosting that up:' Knitter said that the compli- ance goal suggested by the U.S. Dcparunent of Transportation is 70 percent, but added, "We would like to have it where everybody has 100 percent compliance." Another survey will be con- dueled within the next month or so, Knitter said. Drivers will be ob- served leaving campus parkinglots, and drivers wearing their safety belts will be rewarded. "The Hardee's Corporation of Racine is going lObe cooperating with us," said Knitter. "They will be providing us with coupons for free hamburgers. If the driver is wearing his safely belt, he or she Continued on Page 2 - Tne RANGER NEWS, Page 2 Yes, your vote can make a difference Steve Anglin SlaffWriter The presidential candidates are finally on the last leg of the race for the presidency. With less than a week to go, the candidates have intensified their exposure trying to jockey for position. Indeed it has been a long and unusual campaign for many rea- sons: George Bush is not enjoying the usually comfortable position of an incumbent; Bill Clinton is con- tinuing to take heat for Vietnam evasion and flaws in character; and Ross Perot has thrown his hat back into the race for reasons clear only to his ego. The scenario on election day should prove to be interesting if voters respond on November 3. However, if history tells us any- thing, it is that most people will not bother even showing upat the polls. In fact, over half of all Americans have not voted in more than three decades. What's more disturbing is that young voters have had the poorest record of all. In 1984,29 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 were eligible to vote, while only 11 million did. Most nonvoters seem to have at least some idea about why they don't vote. Some of the popular ones are, "My vote won't make any difference," "I don't know any- thing about the candidates," or 'Trn not into politics." All too often these are viewed as legitimate rea- sons for not voting. The question then is -why is it important that we take a more ac- tive roll in our governmental sys- tem through voting and what dif- ference does it make? If people don't vote it upsets the intended process of checks and balances the framers ofour Consti- ftIti011 ('("In..::fnJCle-n. Inessence, nonvoters grant the people who do vote greater influ- ence over theoutcome of elections. One might ask the question -isthis kind of influence beneficial for me or the majority of people in our nation? Nonvoters need to realize that they are partially to blame for inef- fective government because they are not letting their presence be felt. We as Americans blame the politicians, though forthemost pan, politicians respond to what voters and nonvoters collectively demon- strate, whether through participa- tion or inaction. When voting is low, those in power tend topay more attention to people who seek political influ- ence by methods other than voting. Practices such as these inc1udecam- paign contributions, lobbyist groups, and media manipulation. For example, onc of thc most powerful political action committee's today is the National Rifle Association. In the 1980's, the NRA' slobbying efforts steered roughly $4.7 million in campaign contributions to friendly candi- dates. This enables candidates to accumulate sizable funds to help in the expensive battle for media at- tention One of the benefits of voting is the ahilitv to affect how our I'0v- ernmental system is operated. Since the majority of the pub- lic does not bother to record its preference by voting, politicians rely on an inaccurate consensus of information from pollsters and re- porters to inform them of public sentiment. Wc all must make an effort to participate in politics through vot- ing, as there are decisions being made everyday that affect each onc of us. We have the ability, and more importantly, the right to bea pan of that decision-making process. All nonvoters need to make the effort to register, to find out what the candidates have to say about effec- tive government and vote because ....yes UW-Parkside stu- dents, your vote can make a differ- ence. Seat Belts Continued from Page 1 will be presented with a coupon and a thank you." Knitter noted that there are myths surrounding seatbelt usage. "For example, some people feel that governmeOl is infringing on yet another area of their private lives," commented Knitter. ''They feel that it is their choice to not wear a safety belt. If they are involved in a collision and end up being injured or even killed, that's their problem. "The onlv lhin~ is." continues Knitter, "it's not just their prob- lem. It affects everybody. Cer- tainly, it affects family members. But it also affects fellow motorists and taxpayers in that somebody has to pay (for damage done in accidents). "So the monetary costs are re- ally-spread out thoughout society, and I don't think that people con- sider that." Knitter also said that some motorists are under the impression that they will be trapped in their autos if they are in an accident You can make a difference: VOTE u.w PARKSIDE G.O.P when they have their safety belts on. However, Knitter said thaI motorists are bcuer off with their seatbelts on because the belt will keep them in place and increase the chance of survival. Thestatewidecompliancerate is around 56 percent, compared with the 44 percent rate oncampus, according to Knitter. He feels the comparitively low compliance rate at Parkside isdue to age demo- graphics. "The population we deal with tends to be on the younger end of the spectrum, and many times that feeling of invulnerability isthere," noted Knitter. Knitter says that Campus Po- lice will issue tickets to those who are discovered to not be in compli- ance with the state's safety bell law. "We would much rather have people put the safety belts on be- fore they start the car up," said Knitter. "We would much rather have the compliance right fromthe start."

The demonstrators gathered in the Union Bazaar wearing teal col- ored T-shirts proclaiming various "Take Back the Night" slogans. Many wore red armbands. Fifty Tsshirts and more than ergnty armbands had been distrib- uted throughout campus last Fri- day, and there was a good turnout at all of the programs scheduled during Rape Awareness Week. Many students and faculty showed their support. "It's imponant to raise con- sciousness about rape awareness and the plight of rape victims," SlatedCarole Katt, a rape survivor attending the rally. Linda Markeson of Kenosha Sexual Assault Services gaveabrief but impassioned speech in the Union Bazaar expressing outrage over the closing of SI. Catherine's treatment center after twelve years ofservice with theexcuse that rape is not a health issue. Markeson was a founding member of Kenoshans Against Sexual Assault (KASA) during the mid 1970's, and was active inedu- cating the community and provid- ing services for victims of rape, KASA's plimary goals. After establishing the sexual assault treatment center at SI. Catherine's hospital, KASA dis- banded, satisfied they had done what was necessary 10provide ser- vices for sexual assault victims. There was a strong reaction from the community. As a result, KASA has been reformed, emer- gency funding hasbeenestablished The voice of Walt Whitman: a centennial celebration Wednesday, November 4 Noon Concert Series, CART D-II8 Barbara Enders, pianist & faculty member CLC Listening to a recently redis- covered recording of poet Walt Whitman reading from one of his poems will beone of the highlights of a free program to be held Wednesday, November II at 7;00 pm in the UW-Parkside Library/ Learning Center.

The funding, however, is due toexpire December 31ofthis year, and Markeson urged demonstra- tors to "Get angry and get active" in their support of this endeavor. Markeson suggested thatdern- . onstrators contact their legislators and make their feelings known. There is a meeting scheduled for anyone interested in volunteering to help the new treatment center get underway onTuesday, Novem- ber IO from 7-9pm in the south- W~jL brunch of tire Kenosha Li- brary. "Violence against women will not be tolerated!" concluded Markcson. Following Markeson' sspeech, Jennifer Bums, coordinator of the Women's Center at UW-Parkside, gave a reading that stressed how violent and degrading rape really is. Tuition Continued from Page 1 student grant appropriations within the next two years, paint an even bleaker picture for students, ac- cording to Williams. for example, said Williams, expenditures made fortheWiscon- sin Higher Education Grant (WHEG) program are notexpected to keep up with the proposed tu- ition hikes. "The WHEG program, which currently serves over 20,000 UW resident undergraduates, is slated to receive a tentative 3.1 percent increase next year and only a 2.6 percent increase in 1994. "Pell Grant awards will be cut next year, including a $100 cut in the maximum grant," added Wil- liams. "It is vitally imperative that the UW System and the state place a premium on policies that stimu- late the participation of economi- cally disadvantaged students in higher education," said Williams.

After the Regents look at it, the document will go into the hands of Governor Tommy Thompson for modification ,then to the Legis- lature, then back to Thompson. Williams urges the Board of Regents to take a look at the tuition increases in the budget. "The UWregentsmustact with prescience and advocate for an ac- cessible, quality UW education during and succeeding their bud- get deliberations next week," com- mented Williams. "More state funding is needed to partially offset tuition increases and allow President Lyall's vision for the UW to be accomplished with conscience and regard for the underrepresented in our society," added Williams. Slate Representative Peter Barca, D-Kenosha, commented in an interview with The Capital Times that increases in tuition should be lower than the ones pro- posed in Lyall's budget. "How long can we have tu- ition outpacing inflation?" heasked.

Although Assistant Chief and Director of Campus Police and Public Safety Thomas J. Knitter saysincidents such as these "tend to be rare" at UW -Parkside, he doescaution the campus commu- nity. "You want to limit your risks as much as possible," said Knitter. "Lode your vehicle and hide your valuables." While Knitter admits the break·ins are indeed unfortunate, he is hesitant to classify the situa- tion as a crisis. "We certainly are a relatively safe campus," commented Knitter. "I wouldn't classify this as a spree at this point." Knitter comments that Cam- pus Police have alerted officials from Housing that the vehicle break-ins have occured. He also encourages anyone with informa- tion on any of the incidents to con- tact Campus Police, stressing that witnesses can remain anonymous. "If anyone has seen anything in terms of people acting suspi- ciously in the lots around the times of these occurrences, by all means, I would certainly encourage them to call," said Knitter.

Peace Corps recruiter visits campus Dennis Clarke News Editor A representative from the Peace Corps visited UW -Park- side last Tuesday as part of an effort to attract more applicants from southeastern Wisconsin. Peace Corps Representative Nancy Smith met with potential applicants throughout the day and . hosted an information seminar in Union 202 at 4:30 p.m. Smith was joined by Bob Mackey .a Peace Corps volunteer who had served in Cameroon. Together, they gave those who attended the late afternoon meet- ing an indication of how much timc and effort Peace Corps vol- unteers can expect to invest, as well as how much satisfaction volunteers can gel in return. "There are peaks and valleys in this experience, like there arc anywhere else in life," said Smith, who served as a business advisor with Peace Corps in Fiji. "There are extreme cultural differences, and it takes a lot of empathy and understanding." However, Smith felt the ex- perience was well worth the per- sonal sacrifice. "I would not have traded those two years for any- thing:' she commented. Smith said thatthePeaceCorps is currently trying to attract appli- cants with backgrounds in agricul- ture, business and education. "Our thrust ison what we call 'scarce skills''', said Smith. Peace Corps is especially looking for help with environmental programs. According to Smith, it is not the function of the Peace Corps to impose an American way of life on lesser developed nations. "The whole point of the pro- gram is to take our skills and give them to the countries that do warn them," said Smith. "Remember that we go to these countries by invitation only." Smith went through theexten- sive screening process with the potential appl icarus at the meeting. First. interviews arc set upon cam- pus with recruiters. Comprehen- si ve applications arc filled out with the recruiter's help. Next. applicants arc nom inated for service. However, a nomina- tion docs not guarantee an invita- tion to the Peace Corps, according to Smith. An in-depth evaluation process must take place first. The evaluation includes such things as medical tests and routine FBI ex- aminations into applicants' pasts. After that, applicants arc fi- nally given an invitation to train- ing, which lasts approximately three months and usually takes place in the country in which the volunteer will serve. "We as Peace Corps poople are representatives of the United States.so thescreening process is a very careful process," assured Smith. "It is extremely competi- tive. "Peace Corps volunteers arc very well respected," boasted Smith. Continued on Page 3 -....... November II, 1992 --------..

University to present first formal winter com- mencement ceremony December 20 Walt Shirer Press Release A formal commencement cer- emonyfor December graduates will be held for the first time since the early days of UW -Parkside, the university has announced. Winter commencement will be held December 20 at2 p.m. in the Communication Arts Theater. Caps and gowns will be the standard attire. The format of the commencement will be virtually the same as that in May, with pro- cession of candidates, presentation by faculty marshals and conferral of degrees by Chancellor Sheila Kaplan. For many years, midyearcom- mencement has been an informal reception for graduates and their guests in Main Place of the Wyllie Library-Learning Center. Kaplan said that the formal commencement this year 'results from the increasing numbers of December, as well as May, gradu- ates, due in large part to increased retention and graduation rates. "We've outgrown the old for- mat in Main Place," she said. Because of the limited capac- ity of the Communication Arts Theater, graduates are being asked to limit the number of guests to no more than four. Potential December graduates are currently being certified by the Student Records office and those graduates will soon receive a mail- ing with information and instruc- tions regarding the ceremony. University officials expect about 175 students will be eligible for December graduation. School of Science and Tech- nology Dean Ben Greenebaum will be the commencement speaker. Caps and gowns for gradu- ates will be available in the Carn- pus Bookstore no later than De- cember I. A variety of sizes will be available so pre-ordering and fitting will not berequired. Gradu- ation announcements also are available at the Campus Book- store, 595-2301. Graduates who are unable to participate in the Decem ber com- mencement may take part in the May commencement.

Some of the difference reo suIted because agencies had not left as large an amount of unspent funds as was estimated. Another reason was that ex- penses were higher than estimates for several appropriations. The end result of these adjustments is that the estimated gross balance decreased from $114 million to $74 million at the end of the year. 1992-93. The last column on the table shows the estimated numbers for the second year of the biennium. None of the fig- ures were adjusted to reflect the fact that revenues in 1991-92 were $19 million more than originally estimated, nor that spending ex- ceeded appropriations by $45 million in the previous year. The opening balance of $74 million, plus revenues of 6.874 billion, provides $6.948 billion for financing the budget.

According to studies cited by Kaplan, of the approximately 3000 institutions of higher education in the United States, women serve as chief executive officers (chancellor, president) of around 300 of them, or about 10 percent. "This is not an impressive num- ber," commented Kaplan. Kaplan noted, however, that that figure has doubled over the last ten years. "It used to be a lot worse than it is now," added Kaplan.

Kaplan gave an audience of around 50 people an overview of the current status of women in higher education and said that women involved in higher edu- cation administration have a re- sponsibility to help further the interestsofotherwomeninvolved in all areas of higher education.

Page 2 Dr.Amy Ling speaks to university about Asian American writers Alan R.Cook News Writer "I had never read anything written by anyone who looked like me," Dr. Amy Ling laughingly explains as she recounts her grow- ing passion for studies in Asian American literature. Ling, an associate professor of English and the Director of the Asian Studies program at UW- Madison, spoke to an interested group of UW -Parkside students, faculty and staff at a noon hour forum on November 18. Herlatestresearch hasresulted in the publication of "Between Worlds: Women Writers of Chi- nese Ancestry" (New York: Pergamon Press, 1990), an exten- sive study ofNorth American writ- ers of Chinese descent, beginning with Edith Eaton, who wrote inthe late 1800s and concluding with Amy Tam.

After setting aside the required statutory balance of I % of appro- priation ($70 million), the budget is $55 million in the hole. The negative balance is explained on the basis that the law only requires the budget to have a 1 % reserve when it is enacted, not later in the biennium. In the 1992-93 year, expenditures will exceed revenues by $50 million. The statetherefore hasdecided that the UW-system should give back $1 ° ,229,900 tohelpoffset the $55 million shortage. UW- Parkside's shareofthis is$230,000.

Her research hasnot been easy because very few critics have cared to recognize Asian American writers. Describing thedifficulty ofher research, Ling says that "a subject does not exist until someone writes about it." Asian American litera- ture consists largely of"well-writ- ten, well-received books, but soon forgotten ...not recognized," Ling explains. Asian American literature is well worth our attention, Ling en- thusiastically argues, foritincludes important modern themes. Themes of traditional family and cultural values threatened and shaped by geographical transplan- tation, themes of ethnic, commu- nity and individual pride intheface of discrimination and turmoil, and many other important themes are addressed in Asian American writ- ings. It is literature very much affected by the women's liberation and civil rights movements. Much of Asian American literature is "beautifully written," Ling de- scribes, "using powerful meta- pnors." As well as being a scholar, writer and teacher, Ling is the di- rector of the Asian American Stud- ies Program at UW -Madison, a program that encompasses inter- disciplinary studies of people of Asian ancestry who live in the Kaplan speaks on women in education Continued from Page 1 their professions," said Kaplan. Kaplan went on to dispel the notion that women in leadership roles must deny gender differences to be effective leaders. "Men and women are differ- ent," said Kaplan. "Our socializa- tion and our access to power and wealth are different, "Whatever we do to convince people that we are 'just one of the boys,' we aren't, and the boys will never see us to be such," warned Kaplan. Kaplan stressed the irnpor- tanceofinstitutionsofhigher learn- ing in the United States. "America's colleges and uni- versitiesareand will remain vitally social institutions in this country. We help set the values of our soci- ety, and our faculty and adminis- tration serve as role models for future generations," she said. Kathleen Russ, Director of Health and Human Services at Gateway, applauded Kaplan on her community involvement record. "She has made her own path- ways and has made a mark in our community. She has been very diligent in providing direction and guidance to the people in our com- munity," commented Russ, citing Kaplan's involvement in the Kenosha Area Development Cor- poration, the Racine County Eco- nomic Development Corporation and various urban affairs commit- tees.

"People have no problem dis- tinguishing Africans from African Americans," Ling points out. "There isaperception, though, that if you have Asian features, you are Asian." Ling briefly described some of the conflicts that have emerged within this new area of study, dis- agreements as to what points of origin should be considered, what kind of issues should be studied, where the literature should be set and the like. "I feel we should draw our boundaries wide," Ling explains, describing both a wide-ranging geographical area, including people of diverse and broad backgrounds, and an expansive scope of issues and concerns. "The whole field is rather young," she says as she de- - scribes thedevelopment ofthisnew program of study. Ling speaks of American ste- reotypes and prejudice tOward people of Asian descent, begin- ning with the Chinese EXClUSion ACIOf1882, the internmentofJapa. nese Americans on the west coast during and after World War II, and extending into the modern age. She speaks proudly of Asian American resilience and detenni_ nation to carve out the good life even inthemidstof misunderstand. ing and suspicion. Ling speaks ofthemodemshift in world qower and America's re- newed interest in the minority groups who built and shaped this country. "The time is right for Asian American voices to be heard," she optimistically states. Ling's presentation wasspon- sored by the Wisconsin Humani- ties Committee and the Centerfor Robbie Mabry, Grounds Supervisor Special to the Ranger News Snow, parking and potentialhassles One of the advantages all of us attending UW -Parkside en- joy is the beautiful campus set- ting. The first snowfall will soon transform the surrounding land- scape into a winter wonderland. Fallen snow can also present achallenge to commuters. Even though the campus grounds crew will be making every effort to clear sidewalks, parking lots and roads in the fastest and most ef- ficient means possible, you can help by cooperating with a few simple requests. Snow does not always fall when it is convenient for plow- ing. The lots are cleared of snow as soon as possible, but you may not be able to park in your usual spot. Parking in the unplowed part of the lot only makes it more difficult for snow removal operations to becornpleted. You may find snow plowed all around your car. Park your car only in the areas that have been plowed. If your lot is not available, you may have to temporarilyparlt in another. Never park on Outer Loop Road. Iso,stayclearof snowplows in action - they are bigger than you and cannot maneuver as II easily. In winter, it is essential I i that aisles in parking lots re- main open for snow plows. Don't try to add an extra space at the end of a row. With alittle forethoughtand consideration you will bedoing your part to help keep this cam- pus open and operating smoothly.

One major item that is, the document may have over- stepped the parameters oftheini- tial taskof creating a bill ofrights. "What the Board of Regents wanted was aprogram that would help the undergraduate experi- ence," said Bovee. He noted that this was to be done by addressing various academic issues. However, the proposed bill of rights wanders into shared gov- ernance issues as well, and therein lies what Bovee sees as major sticking points for faculty and staff. "When we go into shared governance." said Bovee. "weare going outside the realm of the academics sphere." Grace agreed. commenting that some faculty members were bothered by the wording of the document "It didn't seem like a bill of rights that they were familiar with because there were no corre- sponding responsibilities men- tioned," said Grace. "That was a shortcoming as perceived by fac- ulty." Grace also said that after Portch receives feedback on the document, it is not outside the Continued on Page 2 Supporters of a system-wide slUdent bill of rights which would help serveas aguideline to ensure qualitY undergraduate education for all University of Wisconsin slUdents are currently seeking in- putfromswdents, faculty and staff Ihroughout the UW System.

Portch, UWSystem vicepresidentforaca- dernicaffairs, was seeking input from instiwtions throughout the UWsystem to the proposed bill of rights, which was authored early Ibis year. Once Portch has received reedback from UW system institu- . he will present a revised vasion of the bill of rights to the UWBoard ofRegents for approval.

Dr.Fullin, a local physician, speaks on domestic abuse Follin said that prevalent at- titudes in the health care system only add to the domestic violence epidemic. He noted that a hierar- chical relationship often exists between physicians and patients that can result in more harm than good. He said that physicians often place the blame for domestic vio- lence on victims. Also, abuse is often rationalized and normalized by physicians, according to Fullin. Physicians can treat the violence as a normal occurrence in bad relationships, recommending that the people involved in the rela- tionship simply seek counseling. Fullin notes that this approach does nothing to address the safety of the victim or the victim's chil- dren. Fullin recommends that the health care system begin to focus on advocacy to help empower vic- Continued on Page 2 Larson advises on dangerous relationships discussed what warning signals to watch out for when fItS! getung involved in a relationship and dis- tributed several handouts on rec- ognizing certain "red Ilag" signal common in abusive males. Characteristics common to abusive men include: do not feel that violent behavior is !heir fault; are charming and manipulative; tend to feel weak and powerless; extremely dependent on nurturing relationships; resort to violence to assure themselves of their strength, control, and masculinity; fear of losing the relationship increases self-doubt; very jealous and pas. sessiveof partner; lack proper ver- bal skills to express emoti<ms; or- ten witnessed mother being abused while children; and usually came from families with poorcoping and problem·solving skills.

Larson discussed how the abuser employs intimidation, isolation, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, and threats tokeep a woman "under con- troL" Through these tactics. the abu- sive male (as is usually the case) establishes power over the woman. One third of all women seeking emergency room treaunent are vic- tims of abuse, Larson said. In sev- enty percent of all abuse cases the abuse was premeditated. Sixty percent ofbauered women are sexually abused. and forty per- cent of men who abuse their wives abuse their children as well. In addi- tion, thirty percent of all women killed are killed by their husbands. About one half of battered women actually leave their husbands. Larson also discussed the char- acteristics of abusive males and of- fered profIles of female victims. She Tara Hay News Writer Dennis Clarke News Editor As part of Domestic Vio- lence Week sponsored by the Women's Center, Barb Larson of UW -Parkside' s counseling office gave a presentation last Wednes- day at noon in Union 104 on recognizing and leaving danger- ous relationships. According to Larson, it is important to recognize the cycle of violence common in unhealthy relationships. The cycle fre- quently starts with tension build- ing between the couple that esca- lates into a battering incident. This is followed by the"hon- eymoon stage" during which the abuser charms and manipulates his partner into believing thal the abuse will never happen again. The cycle recurs with the amount of time spent on the in-between stages growing shorter and The problem of domestic violence in America is further complicated as a result of the refusal of members of the nation's health care system to admit the problem exists, ac- COrding to Dr. Kevin Fullin, a cardiologist from Kenosha who is involved with the Domestic Violence Project, Inc.

Reigstad focused on gender discrimination and gender harass- ment as well as outlining six guidelines universities should fol- low. According to Reigstad, a university's primary goal is to edu- cate. Universities must be open and just communities where dis- crimination and stereotypes are discouraged to promote freedom of thought and expression. In addition, universities must be dis- ciplined and celebrated institu- tions. Reigstad discussed common double standards concerning men andwomen, Shelistedsomecom- mon stereotypes: men are dy- namic while women are aggres- sive; a man is a go-getter while a woman is pushy; men are cofident whereas women are stuck-up; a man is only human, while a woman is emotional. Reigstad stressed the importance of recog- nizing stereotypes between men and women in order to under- stand how gender discrimination promotes harassment. Reigstad handed out com- municationsquizzes to those who attended. Among other things, she revealed that men are more likely to interrupt women than men, that women speak in a more tentative style than men and that men are listened to more care- fully than women, even when a woman makes an identical pre- sentation. Regstadalso distributed a yes or no questionnaire designed to help people evaluate their atti- tudes which help build trust and develop partnership skills, as well as a questionnaire on sexual ha- rassment Reigstad cited several ex- amp~es of inequities in the work- place where it was meant to be gender neutral, yet women were expected to answer the phone on their lunch hours and employers were unsympathetic regarding childcare, among other things. Reigstadalso maintains that some behavior most would considerpo- lite <opening a car door for a woman, guiding her by the arm) is really a non-verbal display or power. According to Reigstad, this constitutes gender discrimi- nation. Reigstad maintained that small inequalities that are gener- ally overlooked by both men and women may escalate and need to stop. She suggested four ways to improve the climate in the work- place: establish a code of conduct that would promote gender-neu- tral treatment of all employees, implement intervention policies and demand offenders be held accountable for their actions, as well as open communication be- tween all employees. Officer Piepenburg calls it quits after 21 years Dennis Clarke News Editor One of the pioneers of uw- Parks ide will be hanging up his badge and turning in his walkie talkie at the end of the year. Officer Dennis Piepenburg, who has worked as a security and police officer at UW -Parkside since 1971, is retiring from his duties on campus. Piepenburg says that there have been some changes since he began at UW -Parkside. For example, when Piepenburg began as a security of- ficer at UW -Parkside, the campus police department was located in whatisnowthestudentunion. Also, officers did not have arrest powers when Piepenburg first began. He has also seen administra- tors and theirvarious policies come and go.

Piepenburg went through training at the Wisconsin State Pa- trol Academy. He also works as an officer for the Twin Lakes police department in western Kenosha County. He says there are differ- ences between that job and his du- ties on campus. "It's a whole different type of law enforcement," comments Piepenburg. Piepenburg says that, over the years, he has enjoyed his job at UW -Parkside. "It's been areal pleasure work- ing with the students," he com- ments. "Students here <at UW- Parkside) have always been, you know, behaved," says Piepenburg. He says that the most serious problems have traditionally been with people who were not directly involved with the university. "As long as you have an open campus, you can't get away frolll problems," said Piepenburg. Piepenburg has a unique ap. proach to hIS mreracuon with Stu- dents. "You have to go on a one-on. one basis," he notes. He says that sometimes he has to act "as a big brother rather than a police Offi- cer." Fellow officer Steve Raw had good things to say about Piepenburg. "1' ve never worked with any. body finer," said Rawson. "Who some of the younger officers depressed about something, he h a way of bringing them backupand keeping things in perspective. "He's good for our collective mental heal th," concludes Rawson.

He said that health care professionals need to start believing their patients, help plan for their safety, and acknowl- edge that a serious injustice is tak- ing place with each incident of domestic violence. He also recommends equality in relationships and says that ap- proaches like shared parenting play an important role in preventing power differential. According to Fullin, this is a major underlying factor in much of the domestic abuse that occurs. Fullin offered statistics on the commonality of domestic violence, stating that every twelve seconds a woman is battered in the United States. He went on to say that domestic violence is the single most cornmon cause of injury to women, that one-half of all women will be physically abused in areletionship, and that domestic violence is a factor in 26 percent of all female suicides. Fullin also said that 95 percent of all serious domestic violence is committed against women. Healso drew a parallel between wife beat- ing and child beating, saying that often the two go hand in band. The Domestic Violence Project, Inc. was started in JUIIC 1991 under the auspices of making the health care system,andthecom- munity at large, safer for victimsof domestic abuse. It is funded by both St. Catherine's Hospital and Kenosha Hospital and Medical Cen ter, as well as through fundraisers, honorariums and pri. vate contributions.

"I would not beatall surprised if the vice-president (portch) chose to bring it back to the essential elements," said Grace. Bovee, hoping for input from faculty and staff at UW -Parkside, recently brought the issue before the UW -Parkside University Com- mittee and Faculty Senate for ex- amination and subsequent com- ment. Grace believed that that step was an important one in the quest to geta student bill of rights imple- mented. "I thought that (Bovee's) sug- gestion was an excellent one to bring people together as a wtal community to start working," com- mented Grace. He also said that there may be some confusion about the intell- tion of the proposed bill of rights. "It's more of a philOSOpucai statement of what the Uniyersityof Wisconsin values rather than a strictly constructed code by w~ institutional or individual beb3V101' is going to be judged," Grace ~~ The idea for a student bill rights came about after a major review by the UW Board of Re- '011 gents of undergraduate educan in the UW System revealed !he need for a document 10,as Bovee put it, "bridge the gap between d dnlln- studenrs, faculty, staff an a istration."
