Well, no more struggling. Keeping in step with other universities, Parkside is replacing its card catalog with the LS2000 Online Computerized Catalog. The Online Catalog is a computerized automatic catalog containing all materials the card catalog contains and much more. "The LS2000 is not only easy and fun to operate, it will save you a lot of time," said Judith Pry or, acting head of public service. "You will receive more information through the LS2000 than you would from the card catalog." Inside...

Learning how to operate the LS2000 Online Catalog should be no problem. Eight workshops are planned for the month of September to aid and give students the opportunity to operate the LS2000. The library aides said they are very excited about this new system and will be more than happy to help any student in need. A sign-up sheet for the classes can be found at the Reference desk. The LS2000 can be found on all floors, along with instructions on its operation. Having the LS2000 on all floors is another advantage for the students. "If you wrote down a wrong number, you don't have to run downstairs to the main floor (card catalog); you can Photo by Kelly McKlssick LS2000 Online Computerized Catalog assists students with inquiring minds. use the LS2000 on the floor you're on," said Plyor. The success of the LS2000 will be determined durin this fall semester, as student and faculty take advantage c the benefits it offers. "That really hurt, that my region, my state, would vote against the constitution when I was one of its primary authors." -Adrian Serrano Computerized card catalog is "user friendly" USSA conference yields United Council pullout by Amy H. Ritter News Editor United Council, the state lobbying organization with which Parkside is affiliated, has withdrawn from the United States Student Association, its national lobbying organization, after a USSA conference where tempers flared, voices were raised, insults were thrown and UC President Adrian Serrano cried. During an Aug. 7-12 USSA conference in Madison, arguments began when delegates from Milwaukee and Madison brought up an amendment to the newly, created USSA constitution pushing affirmative action. Shouting and namecalling resulted. "What we found when we presented this for discussion," said Parkside Student Government Association President Alex Pettit, "was that this was not an allowable topic for debate. It was snowballed by individuals higher in this organization who should not have been behaving in this manner." "A lot of mistakes were made on both sides," said Serrano, a former PSGA president. "The proposal on affirmative action that was pushed by Milwaukee and Madison wasn't thought through and was presented badly." He added that the response offering their proposal at the last minute, almost secretly, amde them look as if their intent was questionable. The constitution passed almost unanimously, Serrano said, in every delegation except Illinois and Wisconsin. "That really hurt, that my region, my state, would vote against the constitution when I was one of its primary authors. "It was a rough week for me, it was an emotional time." Two weeks later, during Friday and Saturday's (Aug. 28-29) UC meeting, members voted to withdraw from USSA. The general assembly vote to pull out was 28-20-4, and the vote of the leaders was approximately 28-3, said Pettit. Serrano emphasized that as one of three authors of the new constitution, he had been keeping UC leaders posted on its progress, and had received no complaints over the past year. "It was as if they came to the conference and said 'We've got to change something - or else we'll have nothing to do here." UC leaders had had an opportunity to offer changes on the constitution, Serrano said, but missing the deadline and Among the Parkside delegation, Sue Walborn voted yes; Pettit, Kevin Zirkelbach and Stephanie Tatem voted no; and PSGA vice president Sandra Villarreal abstained. Pettit said that at the meeting, held in River Falls, "tempers were still very hot. "If we were going to pull out, it should be a very levelheaded type of decision. It should be made with as many facts as can be assembled at United Council president Adrian Serrano that time. "Personally, my attitude is yes, the Congress is a shambles, and according to the information we've received, it's been a shambles for years." Serrano and Pettit pointed out that the motion to withdraw was made by a delegate from Whitewater, who had not attended the USSA conference, but fed on the negative attitudes of the other delegates. Pettit said UC's options now are: to rejoin USSA as it is; to rejoin USSA with changes; to join another national student lobbying group such as National Student Roundtable; or to remain independent, using UC as a national as well as a state lobbying organization. of the USSA leaders was not appropriate. "Things were really bad, and I was caught in the middle," he said. perspectives our view Numbers not the only game in town It seems as though numbers are the name of the game these days. It is certanly the case with higher education, where numbers are significant for both students and administrators. If the number of students attending Parkside increases. budgets become more abundant, and. important to students, the segregated university fee will remain stable. In recent years, the Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC) has had to deal with shortfalls due to a decrease in actual versus projected enrollment. The bottom line is the bottom line: Students at Parkside mean dollars for everyone. During the summer, Parkside held its third annual orientation program, and by all reports this was the best one so far. There were nine orientation sessions during which more than 650 new students had the opportunity to learn about Parkside and to learn about their responsibilities as students here. Orientation served both as a vehicle to teach these students the tools to be more successful as students and as an opportunity for the new students to meet one another and feel more a part of the university. Orientation was an expensive venture on the part of the university, yet it illustrates Parkside's commitment to the retention of students. These 650 students have had the opportunity to meet advisers, faculty members, student services employees and other students. They have had the chance to take a tour of the complex and figure out where Molinaro Hall is and that they must have a parking permit. They haven't had to run around to find an adviser to sign the advising card because the orientation program included an advising session. These students have the best chance for survival of their freshman year than any other freshman who have ever attended Parkside. There was much more than mere dollars involved in orientation: the time and energy of countless students, staff, faculty and administrators was priceless. Vacation shedules were changed and weekend trips were cancelled in order to accomodate the orientation schedule. These things were done with smiling faces and in the spirit of teamwork that is always necessary to see a project through to fruition. When the dust has finally settled in the registrar's office and the enrollment count has been tallied for the fall semester, it may very well be that our numbers will be down from the projected figures. There are two very good reasons that Chancellor Kaplan has cited for this decrease. The first, and most obvious, is that we have tightened our admission standards. No longer is Parkside the "if-Ican't- get-in-anywhere-else" university. We have several excellent programs here, and it is foolish to accept students whom we know at the outset will not be successful. Secondly, due to the economic upturn in the Racine- Kenosha area, many non-traditional students have returned to the work force to recoup some of the financial losses of the recent past. We feel these students will return to Parkside when their family finances have stabilized. For Ihose of you who were asked but were too busy, don't complain about our lack of numbers or our budget cuts. You have not become part of the proposed solution, but remain part of the problem. 2 Thursday, September 3, 1987 Ex-editor expresses pride To the Editor: Last year, under my direction, the Ranger enjoyed one of its most controversial, colorful years. Few who read the paper those nine months are likely to forget the cold shoulder students, this one included, gave Tommy Thompson when he crashed Chancellor Kaplan's inaugural gala; or the controversy generated by this paper's endorsement of candidates for PSGA's executive elections; or some students' attempt to void those executive elections for rule infractions. Or, ahem, the infamous masturbation article. But old news is old news, and the real reason for this letter isn't for me to wax nostalgic; it's for me to wax prideful. That's because even as we were being colorful and controversial last year, we still found time to place five of our staff with "real" newspapers in the Racine-Kenosha area. And for a school without a journalism program, that's not just damn good, that's damn remarkable. Jennie Tunkieicz, a fiveyear Ranger veteran, heads the list of t he accomplished. A two-time editor-in-chief and the extremely tough act I had to follow, Jennie wasted no time landing a part-time reporting job with the Kenosha News, starting there soon after she finished her communication degree at Parkside. Another communication graduate, Kim Kranich, now works with The Communicator News, a Racine weekly. Kim, who last year served as both news and feature editor, is a committed, capable writer who is certain to excel with that publication. Kim worked with the Ranger for three years. As for myself, a 1986 English graduate who returned last year to be Ranger editor, I'm working as a full-time temporary general assignment reporter with the Racine Journal-Times. Technically, the job runs out Nov. 20, when the woman I'm sitting in for, who's on maternity leave, returns. I'm hoping, however, to be there much longer, since a fulltime, full-term opening is being created in January. I worked two years for the Ranger, and I miss it and everyone very much. Still with the Ranger, and still with the papers that hired them on as summer interns, are this year's news editors: Kelly McKissick and Amy Ritter. Kelly spent the summer working as a reporter/photographer with the Shoreline Leader, a Racine weekly. An articulate, poised writer who displayed more talent last year than any freshman should be allowed to have, Kelly impressed the Leader brass so much that they invited her back during the school year on a part-time continued on page 15 EDITORIAL STAFF Jenny Carr Editor Kelly McKissick News Editor Amy H.

In Los Angeles, 594,000 students are preparing to become teachers. However, about 9,300 applicants are already vying for the 2,500 available jobs. In Houston, applicants outnumber positions by nearly five to one. In Philadelphia, the ratio jumps to forty to one. In St. Louis, applicants have at least a one in seven chance of obtaining a position. Even through there is an excess of teachers in these cities, there are still shortages in bilingual education, special education, math and some science. For those really in need of a teaching position, New York seems to be the hot spot. The nation's largest school system hires about 4,000 new teachers each year, with year-round recruiting at thirty area colleges. War against illiteracy The State Vocational School System will be starting a campaign to fight illiteracy soon, reported the Wisconsin State Journal. John Coughlin, a state board member, said there are 525,000 people in Wisconsin over 18 who have not completed ninth grade. Group involvement numbers 50,000 per year in basic skills and adult education, and they feel the vocational schools should take a more direct role in fighting illiteracy. The group plans to approach Wisconsin foundations to start three- to five-year pilot programs. State Vocational School Director Robert Sorenson said UW President Robert Shaw and State School Superintendent Herbert Grover have agreed the system should lead the attack against the growing illiteracy rate in Wisconsin. Phy ed requirements cut Wisconsin school districts may lower physical education requirements if the State Department of Public Instruction has its way, reported the Capital Times. The recommended change is a result of a review of 1973 standards that required daily physical education for school children in kindergarten through sixth grades. The old standards required physical education classes daily; the new standards will reduce that to three times per week. Space limitations in some elementary schools have caused the recommendation, but the DPI will not be asking every grade school in the state to lower class frequency. DPI's robert Gomoll said "We continue to recommend daily physical education. Space and scheduling are the two primary reasons for this amendment. Associate dean moves to IUS Peter Hoff Peter S.

The annual awards were presented at the university's convocation ceremony Aug. 31. Convocation traditionally opens the new academic year, which began Sept. 2. Associate professor of mathematics Thomas Fournelle and English lecturer Pamela Pierce were winners of the Stella C. Gray/Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Award. Alma Renish, science lecturer, won the Academic Staff Distinguished Service Award, and Mary Lou France, student status examiner in the Admissions Office, won the Classified Staff Distinguished Service Award, presented this year for the first time. Award winners received $500 each. Fournelle, who joined Parkside in 1983, holds a Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of Illinois at Urbana- Champaign. His research into abstract algebraic structures has been supported by a $33,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. Fournelle was described by one of his students as "creative, energetic, and enthusiastic, a priceless educator." Another said "he explained even the most complex principles in a vocabulary that enabled us all to understand and to learn." Pierce joined Parkside in 1983 and holds a Masters degree in English language and Mary Lou France literature, with a secondaryschool teaching certificate, from Eastern Michigan University. She teaches numerous writing courses, among them introductory composition courses that require "much time, effort, patience and enthusiasm on the part of the teacher," according to a faculty member who nominated her for the award. "Pamela's scores on teaching evaluation forms are, to put it simply, extraordinary," the faculty member said. "She has received the highest possible merit rating from the divisional personnel each of her first two years. This recognition is virtually unprecedented." Renish, who joined Parkside in 1970 and holds a Masters degree in biology from Marquette University, teaches biological sciences as well as computer science courses.

Renish also has been active in the communities, as a guest lecturer in area schools, a chaperone for field trips on ecology and a volunteer naturalist at Racine's YWCA River Bend Nature Center, among other activities. France was hired in 1965 as secretary to Dean Albert E. May at the former UW-Racine Center which, along with a similar Center in Kenosha, was a precursor to Parkside. When Parkside opened in 1968, France assumed an equivalent position as dean's secretary and, in 1977, joined Alma Renish the Admissions Office as student status examiner, her present post. She is responsible for all clerical work involved in admitting students. When the university adopted stringent admission standards last year, France assisted in the design and implementation of an efficient system of transferring information from high school transcripts to computer data banks, streamlining the admissions process. She has served as president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees' Local 2180 at Parkside and has been active in a number of causes, including the women's movement. France's late husband, Parkside psychology professor William R. Morrow, was a co-founder of the Racine /Kenosha Central America Solidarity Coalition. France is a member of that group.

Twenty-eight women entered this year's competition, making the task of selecting a queen more difficult than last year, when 16 women competed. Ten semi-finalists were selected in the first round of cuts Aug. 6 through an interview session held at Central High School in Wilmot. The next cut was made Aug. 11, the day before the Fair began, to five finalists. From these, the queen and first-runner up would be chosen, and the remaining three would serve as the queen's court. The five finalists were Judy Arbet, Debby Lasco, Kristen Jackson, Malena Matthews and Maria Scheckel. Two hours before the crowning of the Queen on Thursday, Aug. 13, the finalists and judges sat through a tense dinner, the competitors' last chance to make a good impression. "I think all of us were nervous," said the ultimate winner. "I wasn't thinking about food or anything, I didn't even know what to think. We were all sitting in formals trying to eat steak. It was an experience." Soon after arriving back at the fair, the contestants took their places on stage awaiting the final results. Lasco, a former Parkside student was selected as first runner-up. And then, a surprised Judy Arbet, a Parkside junior in the business management program, was crowned 1987 Kenosha County Fair Queen. "I feel kind of like an underdog in winning," Arbet said, "because so many qualified contestants competed." The role of Queen has been a natural progression for Arbet because "I have been active in the 4-H competitions since I was nine years old. I always like the county fair because I was always doing something every day," she said. Arbet, as an involved Queen, said she would like to have seen the Combine Demolition Derby, which created much excitement as the first event of its kind in this area, but it was held at the same time as her coronation. "I stayed at the fair all five days (Aug. 12-16) through the rain," Arbet said. The Queen continued orr page 6 RANGER Thursday, September 3,1987 5 Students are greeted during Welcome Week The beginning of a new school year is a time when many students must leave their summer jobs and continue the pursuit of their studies at Parkside. Some students will not leave their jobs, but will merely add the study schedule to their already heavy loads. At Parkside, this time of year signals the beginning of a long-standing tradition - Welcome Week. This year's theme for Welcome Week is "In the Beginning." This theme indicates that for many of our students, this is the beginning of a new way of life. The activities office has worked hard to ensure a good time is had by all students who participate in the week's activities. Those of us who have been om campus this week have seen the week's activities begin with a picnic on Monday. Tuesday there was recreation free-for-all in the Rec Center. Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. there was a student activities fair. This Poli Sci Internships are offered The Public Service Internship Program (PSIP) has fall 1987 semester openings for students who wish to earn political science credits in local, state, or national agencies.

Takata listen to Sheila Baskln speak about gangs. by Amy H. Hitter News Editor Assistant Sociology Professor Susan R. Takata and her league of 13 Parkside student researchers on August 24 presented preliminary findings of an eight month study of Kenosha youth gangs to the Mayor's Task Force on Youth Gangs. The study, which began in January, sought to create a picture of the gang situation in Kenosha based on agency records, interviews with persons who work with gangs and interviews with former gang members. Its objective was to provide the Task Force with a report by which they could make recommendations to the Kenosha City Council and to provide an educational opportunity in sociological research for the students involved. Preliminary findings of the research were presented by students Sheila Baskin, Racine, and Wanda Leiting, Kenosha. The Parkside study differerd from a parallel study by the Task Force in its evaluation of the problem of gangs in Kenosha. The Task Force study, presented by chairman Gregg N. Guttormsen, said, "At this time, it is believed that a problem does exist within the community with regard to street gangs." In the Parkside study, interviews with task force members, juvenile justice personnel and community leaders indicated that the ex- HOURS Recreation Center Mon.-Thur. 9 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday 9 a.m.-Midnight Saturday 9 a.m.-Midnight Sunday Noon-10 p.m. istence of gangs may not be a problem. "A number of the interviews indicate that the gang problem in Kenosha is minimal and controllable," the report read, "and there is some debate as to whether or not the problem is getting better or worse." But Takata said it is too early in the research process to draw conclusions. "What we are trying to do is share the initial findings," she said after the meeting. "I'm not going to make any kind of concluding remarks or bind it all together. I need more time with the data." Gang interviews in the Parkside study produced tentative conclusions that gang members join gangs to make money through criminal activities, in reaction to family problems, or due to lack of alternative activities. The existence of six gangs in Kenosha (the Disciples, the Union Square Mon.-Thurs. 10:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m. Fri. 10:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Sat. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sun. 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Latin Kings, the Vikings, the Vice Lords, the KKK and the White Opals) was verified through interviews. Kenosha gang members describe their organizations as hierarchical, although not as well organized as Chicago gangs. The interviewed gang members also said more community activities, such as sports organizations and events, would be beneficial. More jobs are also desired. Recommendations by the study suggest more community centers for youth, more resource sharing among agencies, more counseling in general, more concerted efforts to involve the entire community in the gang problem, more jobs and employment training, and the need to develop long-range delinquency prevention programs.

The project was funded by a grant of $6,360 from the task force, and $13,103 in services and expenses from Parkside. Students involved received credit in behavior science. Besides Baskin and Leiting, the Kenosha Gang Project Research Team members were: Pat Baird, Racine; John Fisher, Burlington; Lynda Jackson, Racine; Dae Kim, Kenosha; Marge Martin, Kansasville; Todd Nienhaus, Racine; Kevin Polheber, Twin Lakes; Robert Rettammel, Racine; Randy Spiegelhoff, Burlington; Kay Wolferstetter, Kenosha; and Franz Zeisberger, Racine. In the Kenosha study, the group must rely upon agency records, which have yielded incomplete statistical resuls in several areas at this point. "We're taking what the agencies identify and not what we identify," Takata said. "So we're sort of at the mercy of agency records. I think we need to keep that in perspective in terms of what the study is saying. It's what agency records are reflecting." By the end of September, Takata said, firm conclusions will be drawn. * • r * PANGEA Judy Arbet Queen named continued from page 4 and her court were in the Sunday parade, handed out ribbons during the 4-H competitions, and helped the younger 4-H competitors prepare their prized possessions. "I had a lot of fun and met hundreds of people," said Arbet. "It's odd being treated like a Queen - being given free food and drinks in many places I went. I wasn't expecting that." The Queen has duties throughout the year, appearing in local parades, and competing in the Fairest of Fairs competition in January. The 1986 Kenosha County Fair Queen, Lisa Ann Guckenberger, was first runner-up in the state competition. Arbet's helpful pleasant attitude has already been noticed by Assistant Chancellor G.

Hitter News Editor The possibility of Parkside being annexed by the city of Kenosha (becoming part of the city) is currently under consideration by Kenosha's City Council. Research is underway to determine the benefits to the city and to the university before a decision is made. "The city is exploring the costs and benefits of annexation," said Chancellor Sheila Kaplan. "We have not received any formal request from Kenosha to consider annexation, so there's nothing official on the table." Benefits to Parkside, if annexed, would be in the form of increased services, Kaplan said. City police protection would be offered as backup to campus security, where the Sheriff's department is now available; full-time City of Kenosha fire protection would be offered, replacing the Town of Somers' volunteer fire department's duties; and sanitation responsibilities would possibly be taken over by the city, instead of the current private contractor removal. Parkside currently spends $12,000 per year to have waste removed. Parkside is a state-owned facility, and annexation could mean state funds for the city to compensate for services provided. "It would more or less solidify the establishment of a northside fire station," said Paul Raddatz, Kenosha City Council President, referring to an issue that has been debated in the council for some time now. "I was hoping we would annex Parkside," he said. Ray Forgianni, Director of City Development, in a July memo to Kenosha Mayor Eugene Dorff, said that the process of annexation could be initiated by the publication of a "Notice of Intent to Circulate an Annexation Petition." The petition must be signed by a majority of the electors living in the area, and the owners of at least one-half the land. Then, said Forgianni, a referendum can be called. If no referendum is petitioned or if one is passed, the city may pass an annexation ordinance. The procedure becomes complicated in consideration of the Board of Regents as the owners of Parkside, and the students as the electors. Forgianni warned that annexation could become a student political issue and be defeated in a referendum. The other alternative, he said, would be by an act of the Wisconsin state legislature moving Parkside into the city of Kenosha. Kaplan said that a request to be annexed would originate with Parkside's Administration, as the UW Board of Regents, who govern Parkside, consider this a local matter. Dorff said he will take no action to initiate annexation, Travel Study Program offered Travel the world with San Jose State University Travel Study programs in 1988 for professionally-guided experiences in the culture, language, history, wildlife and other aspects of countries from Australia to Zanzibar.

"I'm leaving the decision to the council," he said. "At the present time, the annexation process is in limbo. I will take no stand for or against it." A concern of both Dorff and Raddatz is how the Town of Somers would react to annexation. "I don't want the city of Kenosha getting into a turf battle with Somers," Dorff said. "Things are so upbeat throughout the county right now, I don't want a conflict. If there was an agreement between Somers and the city of Kenosha (to annex Parkside), I would agree." David D. Holtze, Town of Somers chairman, said that the town board has taken no stand on the issue. "I'm not in favor of the city taking any more land than necessary," he said. Holtze said that a 1974 agreement between Kenosha and Somers defined which land in Somers may someday become part of the city, and which land will always belong to Somers. Parkside is defined as an area that may become part of Kenosha. "There seems to be some economic value for the city," Holtze said, "but the state is notorious for holding out carrots, and when you take the carrot, they pull away the rest of the carrots, and you end up feeding the animal yourself." The Town of Somers receives $4,000 per year from Parkside for services rendered, Holtze said. The city of Kenosha is expecting to receive between $150,000 and $360,000 from the state if annexation is successful, he said. Dorff cited similar figures.

RANGER gtei/e Erwin Residence director Thursday, September 3,1987 9 by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor With the on-campus housing program starting its second year, there will be many changes t aking place. One of the major changes is a new director. Steve Erwin took over the job of Director of Residence Life on June 1, replacing Diane Schellinger. After receiving an undergraduate degree in theater, Erwin went into education quite by accident. "I ended up getting a graduate assistantship in this field. I didn't really know what I was going to do when I got into it. Housing was the furthest thing from my mind. At that time, it seemed more glamorous to be in admissions or financial aids." Erwin received a Masters degree in Educational Psychology in 1984 from Eastern Illinois University. He began his career in the fall of 1984 at UW-Stevens Point as a Hall Director and worked on that campus for three years • ''"^opportunity to become the Director of Residence Life and the broader base of responsibility for the overall operation of the program " were what attracted Erwin to the Parkside campus. Erwin accepted the job here because I was ready to move up out of an entry-level position, and this was an opportunity to stay in the UW system." Erwin seems to have a strong sense of where he wants to take the housing program this year. First of all, he would like to get a stronger Hall Council established. He would like to break it into smaller groups, where each house would have a council over which the Resident Advisor (RA) would advise, and from that group a representative would be sent to the overall Hall Council. Erwin would also like to shift the focus of the housing office to just housing issues, and he would like a separate desk area for other student housing needs. wants student camaraderie Steve Erwin One of his major challenges will be in promoting a community atmosphere among everyone who lives on campus. "With so many demands on a student's time," he said, "when there is some free time, the students want to be alone, and not always involved in something. There's a balance somewhere. When we present a program, we'll do our best with planning and promoting it, and beyond that it's really the student's choice on whether he or she will participate or not." Erwin plans on using "theme programming" to promote a feeling of unity among students. "It will be important to present a real positive image right- away," Erwin said. "I think the real advantage toward residence hall living is the chance for the students to connect with each other." Erwin feels that the increase in the number of residents per apartment will be manageable. He feels students sharing apartments will need to come to an understanding about the common areas of the apartment. By talking these things out, Erwin feels that a lot of the problems will be alleviated. Finally, Erwin said he would like to promote an "open door" policy in the housing office. "I want to hear from the students about the problems that they might be having. We (the housing office) are doing our best for the students. We want to meet the needs of the students, their physical environment first of all, but I think we also have a responsibility to promote them personally and academically in terms of success. We're here to facilitate that and to help them in any way we can." At the same time, Erwin feels that the students here are adults and that they need to take responsibility for their own success, but he feels the housing staff is here to aid the students in other ways besides just a place to stay. "I want to turn this into more than just a place to sleep," he said. "I want it to be a place where students live and thrive, a place where students will grow personally and educationally." Resident advisors are here to by Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor It's two o'clock in the morning; it's raining, and you come back to the residence halls, and you realize you don't have your keys with you. After an unsuccessful attempt at trying to wake up your roommates, you're wondering who will help you with your predicament? Fortunately for you, there are seven people, with the title of Resident Advisors, who are ready and willing to help you out. Not only will the RA's let you in out of the rain, they will also help you out with any problem you might have. Whether it's a school-related problem or a personal one, the RA's are there to listen and give advice. The RA's can be considered your campus resource if you just don't know who else to se®- If they don't know the answer, they will make sure that you get in contact with the right people to help you get your problem solved. Candy Isetts, the only reurning RA, is a senior majoring in psychology with students an elementary education certification. "The opportunity to meet interesting people, and the fact that the position is very rewarding," according to Isetts were the main reasons she returned to housing this year. One of the first year RA's, Michelle Herrem, a sophomore majoring in nursing stated, "I wanted to be more active in campus activities, and the chance to meet a lot of people are what inspired me to apply for the job." John Thierfelder, a senior majoring in biology said, "I wanted to be more involved in campus life." Tracey Conners, a junior majoring in history with a secondary education certification and a minor in speech commented, "I wanted to meet and work with people." Monica Hensen, a junior majoring in business with a concentration in accounting said, "I became a RA because I felt it would be a new and challenging experience." Jim Maastrict, a junior majoring in applied computer science stated that he wanted to have some decision making input in the housing activities. Terri DeRosier, a junior majoring in English decided that becoming a RA would not only be a challenge, but also a rewarding opportunity. "It gives me a chance to work one-on-one with the students and also with the staff of the housing office." The RA's, who went through a screening process in the spring of '87, also underwent a week's worth of training under the Director of Residence Life, Steve Erwin. For their duties, the RA's receive their room and board for the school year.

DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor If you haven't had the chance to take a tour of the Communication Arts Theater, you have missed out on one of the most interesting aspects of this campus. Not only is the backstage area a hidden wonderland, but its manager, Keith Harris, is one of Parkside's best kept secrets. You can never be sure what Harris will be doing when you start your exploration of the stage - one minute he'll be covered with paint, the next he'll be giving instructions on lighting design - but no matter how busy he might be, he will always take the time to talk about his wonderland with a sense of pride and admiration in his voice. According to Harris, he is One Year Ago September 4, 1986 New admissions policy instituted A new admissions policy which states that students must meet a set of necessary requirements before being allowed to attend Parkside was instituted. To be admitted to Parkside as a "standard admissions" student, one must place in the upper 50 percent of their high school class and have followed a particular pattern of courses throughout high school. responsible for "any group that uses the Communication Arts Theater space. I do anything from designing the lighting for them to just making sure there is a table and microphone set up." Harris also designs lighting and scenery in tandem with Skelly Warren, Assistant Professor of Dramatic Arts. "My degree is geared for design and stage, including sets, lights and costumes," he said. "I did very little work with costumes in grad school, but did more than my share of work with lights and scenery." Although Harris does not teach any classes here, he does work one-on-one with students. His contact comes mainly from his hiring of students to help design lighting and to design and build sets. "Most generally, I hire and From Students unable to meet these criteria are required to take the placement tests prior to applying for admission. If at this point, the student is able to place in English 100 and Math 015, and is reading at approximately a tenthgrade level, that student will be admitted as a "conditional admissions" student. Five Years Ago September 9,1982 YMCA housing provided The YMCA, in conjunction with the Parkside Housing Office, has agreed to open up its top three floors in an effort to \ Keith Harris supervise," he said. "The students get paid while learning. which I feel compliments both myself and the students." Harris' goals for Parkside's Communication Arts Theather include making the stage as much a lab space as possible. "My goal is to help the students learn where things go, and how things are used as quickly as possible." Harris has some larger goals in mind also. "I would like to make some changes in the lobby. I'd like to modernize it more." Support from the administration has been important to Harris. "I feel they've backed us. If there has been a need, I feel I've been listened to, which is one of the reasons I'm still here. "I'd like to see the Fine Arts program grow as far as majors and the number of people who get involved," he concluded. Harris not only works with the theater department, but he also works with the music and the art departments. Harris feels that by using the resources from those three departments and by using the lobby area of the theater he will draw more attention to those programs. "My dream is that when you leave through the exit, there will be posters hanging there for the entire semester announcing upcoming programs." Harris feels strongly that both physical ends of the campus need to work together. "Somehow we have to connect both major exits of this university to let everyone on campus know what's going on." the Ranger files accommodate those students who desire a place of residence for this school year. The building, which has been dubbed "Ranger Hall" on the lease agreement, marks the first type of dormitory living Parkside has been able to offer In the university's 13-year existence. The three floors total 85 single living quarters, with two Resident Assistants (RA's) in charge of each floor. Only students and their guests will be allowed to the top floors. The room agreements state that a student can rent a room at the YMCA from Sept. 1, 1982 until May 23, 1983 for a cost of $450 per semester, or a total of $900 for the school year, excluding a $120 escrow. A room with private bath costs $1080 for the year. Ten Years Ago September 7,1977 WLLC gets improvement grants The Council on Library Resources (CLR) has awarded $21,350 to Parkside for a selfstudy among library staff members. The study is directed toward improving the services and operations of the library system. In performing the study, the staff will utlize a draft manual resulting from procedures developed in a 1976 pilot project at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The UNC-C project was the first phase of the Council's Academic Library Program. In phase two, several universities - including Parkside - will be selected to work with the evolving model program.

Williams Minority Student Service director sets goals by Christina Lojeski Dr. Wayne R. Williams begins this semester at Parkside as the new director of minority student services. Williams, 42, is a Racine native and a 1963 graduate of Washington Park High School. He attended the UWExtension in Racine, and later received his bachelor's degree in linguistics and completed his Masters degree in African language and literature, both at UW-Madison. After completing his dissertation and research in Africa, he received his Ph.D. in linguistics from Indiana University. Williams was employed by the University of Washington- Seattle in African studies and linguistics as a lecturer in 1975 and was promoted to an assistant professor in 1976. In 1981 he was named director of the university's Afro-Ameriby Terri DeRosier Asst. Feature Editor The final of many search and screen committees conducted in the student affairs area of campus has brought Parkside a new Director of Student Life. Steve McLaughlin, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Kansas- Lawrence, was selected by the search and screen committee for the director's position. McLaughlin's office will be responsible for the child care center, the student health services, the union and all areas of residential life and all student activities. Although McLaughlin has been on campus for only two weeks, he has jumped right in and started to get to know the people at Parkside. "I'm most impressed with the students and staff," McLaughlin said. "They are all very supportive and friendly." Dr. Wayne R. Williams can Studies Program. Williams has presented numerous papers at professional conferences and published magazine articles in scholarly publications. He is author and co-author of two book-length manuscripts being considered for publica- Steve McLaughlin In planning his first few months here at Parkside, McLaughlin said he will begin by associating names with faces and programs. "I will also be assessing all the programs to see how they can better serve all stution. Because most minority student services programs were initiated in the 60s, Williams explained that the program here is in its "embryonic stages," having been instituted in 1982. That fact, stated Williams, has its advantages as well as its disadvantages. "The disadvantage is that there is no program here that is already well-established, providing services to minorities. The advantage is that we can learn from the succeesses and failures of other programs. My goal is to make this one of the best programs in the United States," he explained. Presently, minority student services here has had a very low visibility, according to Williams. "Most of the students who come into the office now come in only if they desire to. I would like for minority students." Although it is too soon for any definite plans, McLaughlin said that he would like to get students to identify with campus life and to provide better services. "I would like to find out what the needs of the students are and the campus community in general," McLaughlin said. "I want to find out if there are ways to build or improve existing programs." Addressing the needs of the non-traditional students is one of McLaughlin's high priorities. "I want to assess the needs of the non-traditional students to see what we can do to meet those needs. "This is a beautiful campus, not only in the setting, but in the facilities themselves," McLaughlin said in closing. "I'm anxious to meet the students and I'm looking forward to working with all of them." dent services to attain a higher visibility, and begin assisting advisors in all conditional admissions," Williams commented. "I would also like to institute obtrusive advising, which would mean that we would provide continous academic and personal counseling to any minority students interested," Williams stated. "Additionally, I would like to establish a mentor system, in which successful minority students would be able to share some of their knowledge with others." He also plans to shed some of the myths he believes have become connected with minority student services throughout the public school systems. His background in that area consists of serving as a consultant to Seattle public schools, developing a model for multicultural and international education. He also served as a consultant to Portland public schools, developing an image-enhancement program for black high school students, and to the National Labor Relations Board in the Northwestern United States advising it on developing effective writing programs for minority employees. "Minority student services programs have been suffering from a bad image. The word 'minority' had come to imply small, minuscule and inferior to the majority, when, in truth, minority students come from different cultural, socioeconomic backgrounds than the majority population," Williams explained. He plans to correct and to counter that public school training and provide services to remedial students as well as establishing an honors program. Williams also plans to gather information about how minorities are perceived here. He is chairing a committee that is looking into ways to establish ethnic studies on campus, to provide education about different ethnic groups of the United States. Also on this committee are professors Teresa Peck-McGovern and Robert Canary. "I want to see the majority population of t he campus educated about the history, culture and social problems of people of color in the United States," he explained. "I want to see minority student services here shaping the leaders and workers of the 21st century. I plan to empower minority students to go into the American society to become full partners and leaders in an increasingly global community," Williams concluded. by Sandy Leicht, R.N.

Skretvedt analyzes each of the duo's films, giving ample space to their weaker efforts as well as their timeless classics. Along with critical analyses which attempt to explain just why the duo's films work so well, Skretvedt includes interesting historical comments about each entry. Statistically the book eclipses all other studies, Skretvedt not only including complete info on each film, but also appendices listing supporting players and technical craftsman who helped make the Laurel and Hardy comedies so essential to American film. Prior to this tome, it was necessary to purchase at least a half dozen books on Laurel and Hardy in order to acquire so much information. Skretvedt says more in his 460-odd pages than the many other Laurel and Hardy studies combined, and also includes several nice illustrations (many never before published). JUMP CUT: HOLLYWOOD, POLITICS AND COUNTER CINEMA edited by Peter Steven (Praeger) As "Jump Cut," the newspaper, is the journalistic Bible of counterculture cinema, this compilation of articles is a unique and essential addition to libraries of cinema studies. The five sub-headings include "Hollywood: the Dominant Cinema," "Independent Filmmaking in North America," "Women's Counter Cinema," "Gay and Lesbian Cinema" and "Radical Third World Cinema." Under each of these five sub-hedings are five or six articles on that particular subject, all culled from issues of "Jump Cut" and featuring such fine film scholars as the late Charles Eckert, Julia Lesage, Richard Dyer and Tom Waugh among the writers. As all of these topics are key movements in today's cinema, "Jump Cut" is a highly recommended compilation of important articles on several aspects of motion pictures. CASHIERS DU CINEMA; THE 1960s edited by Jim Hillier (Harvard University Press) As with the previous compilation on the 50's, this collection of articles from the French cinema periodical is most interesting when one reads the re-evaluations of Hollywood. Contributions by Francois Truffaut, Jean-Luc Goddard, and other important names of the French cinema add depth and authenticity to this anthology. But one aspect of French criticism in regard to sixties Hollywood film is missing. It is one of the more notorious legends of cinema that Jerry Lewis is considered a comic genius in France, while American critics dismiss him as the banal equal of Pee Wee Herman. None of the very lengthy and in-depth analyses on Lewis that appeared in "Cashiers du Cinema" during the sixties are translated here. The book is still noteworthy for its articles on Hitchcock, Nicholas Ray, Howard Hawks, "King Kong," and several studies on the French New Wave methods spawned by many of t he writers here. REEL CHARACTERS by Jordan R, Young (Moonstone Press) This collection of interview pieces on old character performers from American films of the thirties and forties is a must for buffs. The supporting players added luster to a film industry that really could not have survived without them. Director-writer Huston was motion picture aiant by Jim Neibaur •A»^ n 1 .4 i inn. - ar. Feature Editor John Huston's death last Thursday night ends the legacy of one of the finest filmmakers of the American cinema. Nobody believed Huston would ever match his directorial debut, "The Maltese Falcon," but he went on to helm such fine creations as "The African Queen," "The Man Who Would Be King," and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre," in which he directed his father, the late Walter Huston, to an Academy Award-winning performance as he did for his daughter, Angelica Huston, in the most recent "Prizzi's Honor." Huston's direction incorporated many diverse filmmaking styles, most notably the film noir of "The Maltese Falcon." However, aside from the mise-en-scene of the Huston canon, the director also paid close attention to character detail. For instance Humphrey Bogart's Fred C. Dobbs character in "Sierra Madre" embodies the American male's paranoia in postwar America - Dobb's unfounded suspicions about his fellow gold prospectors' paralleling the American male's reaction to the Communist scare. The last film Huston was involved with was directed by his son.

RANGER Thursday, September 3,1987 13 Movie Review "Dirty Dancing" uses new musical trends by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor We a re long past the glory years of the Hollywood musical, as the American cinema will never produce another "Singin' in the Rain." In "Dirty Dancing," Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey capably exhibit exciting dance moves while backed by the sort of narrative that passes for musical drama in today's American cinema. All of the predictable circumstances are here, from the young girl replacing the veteran when the latter is incapable of performing, to the nice girl's father being unable to understand the attractive bad boy she in infatuated with. The whole thing takes place at a family resort during the early sixties, with news events of the period popping up in casual conversation lest we forget what era we're in. Grey's character's pre-hippie liberalism is suppressed by her family's disturbing conservatism, and thus she feels alienated. She finds an escape through dancing with the bad boy who works at the resort, her Daddy doesn't approve, and so forth. But then in a musical, it is the musical sequences that deserve to have the greatest attention. The dance bits are all exceptionally well done, especially those that take place during the party sequences with a period rock and roll track thundering beneath. The filmmakers were careful in selecting the raunchiest and most timeless rockers from the post-Elvis pre-Beatle early sixties, staying away from the bland Beach Boy bubble gum that pervaded the airwaves during this period. Grey's character is nicknamed "Baby" by her family. Often the narrative is very weak with some laughably bad dialogue: "Can I have 200 dollars Daddy?" "Sure, Baby, I'll have it for you before dinner." The money turns out to be for a friend's abortion, this plan going awry when the friend almost dies during the procedure. Yet the film's attempts to dispel abortion don't come off totally within the framework of the already soggy narrative. Like ' 'Flashdance'' or "Footloose," "Dirty Dancing" comes alive in the musical sequences (with the exception of the two leads' ridiculous pantomime to Mickey and Sylvia's "Love is Strange" and the strange climactic dance which is backed for some reason by a discofied eighties beat). The narrative is merely written around the dance sequences in an attempt to exhibit some facile and disquieting social commentary. Patrick Swayze Selected Shorts CAN'T BUY ME LOVE The commercial critics have been very aggressive in their hatred for this film. I liked it. But, then, it has everything a commercial critic hates: youthful vitality, charm, a heavy anti-capitalist message, no flagrant titty-bouncing, et al. This is a youth comedy, and a rather typical one on the surface, however beneath the superficial story of a nerd renting a pretty cheerleader in o rder to obtain popularity, the filmmkaers deliver an underlying message that scorns capitalism and diehard efforts to be "one of the crowd." Unlike "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Soul Man," this film doesn't spend eighty-nine minutes presenting ugly stereotypes and then try presenting a positive message in the final two minutes. "Can't Buy Me Love" instead presents its message through the situations, which are harmlessly amusing. Some sermonizing towards the end of the film doesn't come off, and it's true that a film dircted toward a teenage audience couldn't truly deal with t he complexities of adolescence on an academic level, but "Can't Buy Me Love" still succeeds as lightweight entertainment. The filmmakers are also wise in using the original Beatle song under the opening and closing credits rather than a pallid remake by a wimpy New Wave never-was. Jim Neibaur BORN IN EAST L.A. Cheech without Chong is — well — Cheech, alone. In his first solo venture, which he wrote, directed, and stars in, Richard "Cheech" Marin does the Anglo guilt bit with a distracting comedy about an L.A.-born Hispanic American who is shuttled into Mexico when caught during an immmigration raid without his wallet. On this premise we have a series of comic vignettes, not unlike many Cheech and Chong films. Thus the film is a loosely episodic one whose parts don't always combine to make a logical whole. Some bits seem like they're from another movie. However, and this is crucial, there are several very positive aspects to "Born in East L.A." Cheech, his first time directing, proves adept at showcasing physical gags in the Mack Sennett tradition. His script, while a little forced in some places (Cheech is NOT a romantic character), does include several pointed messages about the Hispanic experience beneath the humor. And his performance is believable in all but the romantic sequences. Cheech trying to teach several non-Mexican immigrants how to act like stereotypical Foreign Film series continued from page 10 Scola.

FAMILY BUDGET INN 5005 Washington Ave. 637-7911 takes a perverse and rather repugnant turn here, especially since the apparent point of the film is to dispell rumors that all nerds are losers. However the filmmakers try proving their point by using the most obvious and juvenile bathroom humor as well as a strong dose of ugly sexism. In a film where the characters closely follow the offensive nerd stereotypes and then become mawkish in the end by making a speech on how "nerds are people too" (with Queen's "We are The Champions" playing in the background, no less), the only thing a discriminating filmgoer can do is shrug his or her Robert Carradine shoulders and forget this simple minded travesty as quickly as possible.

This album is a rocker and it is a fine showcase of Taylor's guitarwork (although he does get a little self-indulgent from time to time). Taylor co-produced this effort with former Sex Pistol by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor Amidst much ballyhoo, this past August 14 marked the tenth anniversary of Elvis Presley's death. In commemoration, RCA has released four welcome anthologies of his recorded work. THE COMPLETE SUN SESSIONS This is by far the most important anthology of the group, as it focuses on the purest and most influential music in the whole of Presley's massive output. This double album includes, for the first time, all of the songs Presley cut at Sam Phillips' studio just prior to having massive superstardom thrust upon him. Songs like "Mystery Train," "That's All Right Mama," and "Good Rockin' Tonight" are staples of a genre steeped in the blues, gospel, and R&B styles of Black artists who most heavily influenced Presley. THE NUMBER ONE HITS /THE TOP TEN HITS Both of these albums are essential, however the latter eclipses the former. "The Number One Hits" in- Short Cuts Steve Jones (who also cowrote all but one of the album's tunes with Taylor) and his influence is evident in the very upfront guitar sound that is on display. Taylor has assembled a crack band for the album eludes all of the Presley songs that hit the top of the charts. "The Top Ten Hits" is a double album that contains these songs and others that just missed the number one mhrk. While the former has the most important hits from "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," and "Heartbreak Hotel" to "Suspicious Minds," the latter incorporates more essential tracks the likes of "Return to Sender" and "I Need Your Love Tonight." These are the songs that put rock and roll on the map, opening the door for the great Black artists who had been shut out by segregated white radio for so many years, somebody finally realizing that Presley's work would have been inconceivable without them. The all-out rockers accost the listener with the same reckless abandon as they had some thirty years before, while the ballads re-emphasize the fact that Presley is the best singer the music has ever produced. THE MEMPHIS RECORD After nearly a decade of weak songs from bad movies, Presley seemed an anachronism eclipsed by the British invasion and Motown. But on a 1968 TV special he turned in the greatest performance of his career, a celebration of all that rock and roll has ever stood for. These 1969 Memphis sessions, cut immediately after the exhilarating TV special, show Presley catching up with musical trends that had seemed to have passed him by during the doldrums of the early mid-sixties. There are the obligatory ballads along with some tough blues and all-out rockers which rank with his best work. These sessions are in many ways as important as those at Sun, even if only to prove that Presley was not just a star of cheap beach films during the sixties. All of these anthologies must be included in any comprehensive record collection. They prove once and for all that despite the bad films, drug and weight problems, pretentious Las Vegas appearances, and a host of bad jokes and ridiculous idol worshippers, Elvis Presley is still the most significant and talented rock and roll performer of them all.

RACINE which includes Mickey Curry on drums, Patrick O'Hearn (ex-Missing Person and current new age star) on bass and Steve Jones on rhythm guitar. What Taylor needed to do in order to make the album an unquestionable success was to get away from the overwhelming keyboard dominance displayed in Duran Duran, but keys play an important factor on this record and they basically weaken its impact. Lyrically and vocally Taylor still has a lot of room for maturity, but he is a fine instrumentalist and his talents are quite evident on "Thunder," especially on tracks like "I Might Lie" and "Don't Let Me Die Young" which make this a release worthy of purchase. Andy Taylor has come a long way from ultra wimp to rocker, but he still needs to move toward a harsher edge both musically and if he does his next release should be a scorcher. Bemie Doll SENTIMENTAL HYGIENE Warren Zevon (Virgin) With "Sentimental Hygiene," his first album of new music in five years. Warren Zevon has turned out his finest work since 1978's critically acclaimed "Excitable Boy." Zevon showcases a lyrical depth that most songwriters only dream of. As usual with Zevon, his songs cover a diverse range of subjects — from his own battle with alcoholism ("Detox Mansion") to media accuracy ("Trouble Waiting to Happen"). Perhaps the strongest song on the album is "Boom Boom Mancini," which begins as a tribute to boxer Ray Mancini, but quickly emerges as a strong indictment of the sport of boxing. Also quite powerful is "Leave My Monkey Alone," co-produced by George Clinton, a song about race relations in Africa, satirically told from the point of view of white colonialists. Musically, 4' Sentimental Hygiene" also rises above much of the material being recorded today. Zevon has assembled an impressive group of guest stars which includes Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Don Henley, Tony Levin and R.E.M. members Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry, who sound more impressive here than on many of the band's own releases. The musical styles range from straight-ahead rock to funk to Eastern Indian. Rick Luehr FAHRENHEIT Farrenheit (Warner Bros.) Out of the vast collage of new groups appearing on the music scene, usually producing rather mediocre material, comes some minor promise. Farrenheit, who opened for Boston at four sold-out Alpine Valley concerts recently, could generate some sparks continued on page 15 RANGER Thursday, September 3,1987 15 Short Cuts continued provided they are allowed airplay. Their music on this debut is a typical hybrid of blues and rock and roll. "Lost in Loveland," the first and best cut, opens the door with an energy that is not quite maintained throughout the album. It is a good example of where Top 40 should be. "Fool in Love" and "New Days" are Huey Lewis-esque pop, while "Shine" is simply a waste of t ime. The less thrilling cuts could perhaps be helped a bit by prominent guitar work. Boisterous guitar solos have saved many lackluster songs. But then, perfection can't be expected from a group whose drummer is named Muzz. Patti Nitz THE ICICLE WORKS IF YOU WANT TO DEFEAT YOUR ENEMY 8ING HIS SONG (Beggars Banquet) One of the original one-hit wonders of the English New Wave scene has returned with a sound reminiscent of late 60's biker rock. This LP is a collection of Selected short continued on page 13 BACK TO THE BEACH This nightmarish bit of nostalgia fortunately refuses to take itself seriously Annette Funicello has cupboards filled with jars of Skippy peanut butter, Bob Denver and Alan Hale do their turn as Gilligan and Skipper, Jerry "Beaver" Mathers and Tony "Wally" Dow do a sendup of Siskel and Ebert, Connie Stevens vies for Frankie Avalon's body, and surf music relic Dick Dale duets with Stevie Ray Vaughn. During the early-to-mid sixties, Beach movies were the absolute in wholesome trendiness much like Top 40 radio is today. "Back to the Beach" says what most of us always felt. Jim Neibaur Letter songs on such diverse topics as girls, love, girls that they want to meet, love, girls they haven't met, love, girls they'll never get to meet, love, and girls. Fortunately this lack of thematic material has no effect upon the music - this band rocks. When Icicle Works takes on a song of a different nature, the ballad about the music industry, "Up Here In The North Of England," they have a melodic, hypnotic style which enraptures the listener. The Icicle Works takes the rich bass vocals of Robert McNabb, combines it with powerful guitar, drums and keyboard and creates hard rock with a soul. The production wizardry of Ian (Echo and The Bunneymen) Browdie has enabled this band to find a musical direction that works. >r The Icicle Works of today are a mutant breed of Springsteen, Lou Reed, and U2. Typical rock that works. Tyson Wilda continued from pa ge 2 basis. Smart people. Similarly, Amy Ritter will continue reporting for the Kenosha News, who know a gem or a reporter when they employ one.

MILLER HIGH LIFE, MILLER LITE ON TAP AT THE UNION SQUARE Distributed by C.J.W., Inc., 2117-81st St., 552-7273 Good luck Ranger athletes from the sports staff Ranger's 1987 fall sports preview by Robb Luehr Once again, the fall semester is upon us and that means 4t's time once again for this season's sports previews. This week we look at soccer and women's tennis. Soccer Head coach Rick Kilps lost four starters from last year's 13-8-1 team but has high hopes for the coming year. "We're working hard in practice and I'm optimistic we'll have a good season," Kilps said. Gone from last year's squad are seniors Wayne Adema, Carlos Gil, Jeff Fische and Patrick Bayle, who used up their eligibility. In addition, the leading goal scorer from last year, freshman Sam Kongla, is likely to be ineligible for the coming season. These five players accounted for half of the team's 68 goals scored last year. Returnees include senior Ed Paprocki, who is presently injured, juniors Greg Peters, who had nine goals; Greg Winter, Mike Baldwin, Mickey Dukic and Rocky Donovan and sophomores Jim Chomko, Mike Lee, Claudio Aranguiz and Brian Maher. At the goalkeeper position, juniors Stan Anderson and Mark Litton, who split time evenly in the nets last year, both return, as does reserve team goalie Don Brubor. Anderson and Litton were virtually equal statistically in 1986. The Rangers have a lot of work to do, but Kilps is prepared for the challenge. "We have the nucleus and the potential to have a good season," said Kilps, "but nucleus and potential are words that need to be realized with :tthe end result. All of that is not very good if we don't do our work." The Rangers need to be at their best, considering their schedule, which includes games with nine NCAA Division I teams. New to Parkside's schedule are the University of Dayton, Bradley University and Minnesota. Also on the docket are perennial foes Marquette, Wisconsin, Milwaukee and Green Bay, who are members, with Parkside, of t he Wisconsin Intercollegiate Soccer League. DePaul and Illinois-Chicago round out the Division I opponents. New NAIA foes include Judson Colelge, Lindenwood College and Harris-Stowe College. "This is one of the top (NCAA) Division II/NAIA schedules you can get, so we do have a challenge," said Kilps, "and I think our players are going to be ready for it. To go on as far as we want to do, we have to knock off the defending national champion (who is) in our area." Kilps is referring to Sangamon State, who beat the Rangers in the NAIA Area 5 final and went on to win the national title. "But why not - let's do it." The Rangers opened their season against Judson yesterday at home and will also be at home this Saturday against Dayton. Game time is 1:30 p.m. Tennis Women's tennis coach Wendy Miller is understandly excited about this fall's season. She has nine players trying out for the team and has added talent this year in Ann Althoff, a transfer from UW-Milwaukee and Stacy Stanich, a high school standout from Kenosha Tremper. The addition of Althoff and Stanich "will greatly improve our skill level," said Miller. "We're going to have considerably more depth than we've ever had. Before, we were strong in one of two or three positions, but now it looks like we'll be strong throughout." The team lost Kim Kranich, a top singles and doubles player, to graduation. Also gone is Jo Jo Brahmill. Returning to the Rangers are senior Amy Tropin, last year's number one singles and doubles player, junior Nancy O'Connell and sophomores Elizabeth Spalla and Laurie Henry. New faces, besides Althoff and Stanich, include Dorothy Dorow, a transfer from Stevens Point and Softball players Kathy Livesey and Kim Vanderbush. One consequence of a full complement of players is a tough battle for spots on the team, and Miller's squad is no exception. "We've had lots of nice competition among each other for the top six spots," she said. The number one singles position is between Tropin and Althoff, according to Miller. "I think it wil be a good year - I'm very excited," said Miller. "I think some teams are going to be surprised - we're a lot stronger than we've been in the past." The team's schedule has been increased from 11 to 17 matches and three tournaments and will include more state teams. "I didn't feel we were getting the adequate competition we needed in order to compete at the district level," Miller said. "We needed to play more state schools and play more matches. Playing against schools that play 20 to 30 matches a season, we really didn't have enough experience. "Our schedule is not overpowering, but it's competitive for us." The Rangers open their season at Ripon College tomorrow and will play in the Carthage Quadrangular on Saturday. Their home opener is on Saturday, Sept. 12 at 9 a.m. against Valparaiso. •i Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

PSGA president Alex Pettit threatened to veto the reeolu- tlon if passed by the Senate, and suggested the vote be postponed for two weeks. A veto override would require two-thtrds of the Senate vote.

Picazo .Jesse Hargrove was in. formed by mall (Oct 30) that his contact was not going to be renewed after this year. This news came as a surprise to him especially since he had just reentry been reassigned from Parkside's Educational OPPOrtunity Center (EOC) , where he was director, to what he believed was a high- er position In administration, as a special assistant to the Vice Chancellor and a Span- ish instructor. Under Parkside's academic staff rules, all its employees are given one year's notice-of termination. His position on campus will end October, 1988. Hargrove was originally hired as the director of the EOC 1n·1985. It is a federally funded program, which Is currently in the process of being rewritten and submit- ted for its next three-year funded cycle. Hargrove has been active in recruiting low- income and minority stu- dents. When the new position was outlined for him In Septem- ber, he saw it as a move in a positive direction and a way for him to better serve the campus in a wider capacity. G. Gary Grace, assistant chancellor for student affairs, described the new position as being a vehicle which could break Hargrove out of the rut of only working with minority programs. "The new position was de- signed to be a combination of teaching duties and some general staff duties." Grace said. "It was not a promo- tion; it was a lateral move of ances. "The committee is so mis- understood by the campus," Carr said. "Peopie think the committee makes decisions, when In fact, all Its decisions are approved by the Senate." Carr said she pursued the SUFAC chair to repay a per- sonal debt to Parkside. "I feel that the University has done a lot for me," she said. "I'm taking on thl it ,s rei sponsiblllty, although s no .a pleasant one, because} hope it wlll benefit students. Carr said the job is difficult when "people 1 know and reo spect" request funds that Jenny Carr cannot be approved. "You have to say no to the Integrity of the budgeilng everyone In one way or an- process," said Carr, "least of other," she explained, ~e- all by me."

Jesse Hargrove a reassignment nature ... Hargrove felt he was mis- lead about the permanance of his new position. "They had me sold on the move, so I saw no reason not to take it. But they got me over there and a month later, they dropped this bomb on me, PI Hargrove told the Ke- nosh News. The letter of termination came from Grace and it gave it no reasons for Hargrove's dismissal. Hargrove has since submitted a formal request for the reasons of his termi- nation. Hargrove went on to corn- ment that he saw his firing as being in direct conflict with OW System President Ken- neth Shaw's commitment to 10creasing mtnortty faculty and staff. In a Racine Journal Times article on Saturday, Novem- ber 7, Shaw was asked if the recent dismissal of Park. side's only black In the upper admlnistration ran 10 confllct to UW commitment to retain- Ing minorities. He said he was not In a poslUon to tully access the situation . Shaw dld defend the chan- cellor's right to "rigorously" evaluate employees. I'We rigorously recruit. we evaluate people," Shaw said. "The one thing we won't do Is patronize one group." Grace feit that the issue of Harirove's termination and UW's commitment to In. crease minority faculty are two different topics. "This Institution has not backed off on Its commitment of actively searching for qUallfted minority faculty and staff. We are stlll deeply In. volved In this effort even though we felt it was neces- sary to make this particular personnel change." In an interview with Racine Journal Times, Corinne Owens, Racine president of the National Associalon tor the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) saw the ac- tion as "an earthquake to the minority community. We had so much confidence in the work he's doing." Thomas Loftus, State As- sembly Speaker and an ac- quaintance of Hargrove's through the Wisconsin ASSOCi_ ation of Equal Opportuntty Program Personnel, Bald it Hargrove was let go because of a lack ot runds, it sWI doesn't show very much unt- verslty commitment. Loftus has offered his serv- ices to lOOk into the matter 11 asked. He said that Hargrove, as of yet, has not asked him to do so. Hargrove said he will be asking for a reconsideration on the decision and. or at least, a full explanation into the rationale behind his being let go. . . Inside... Jarvis road block page 3 ..

Fueling lengthy discussion wu theIssue of the food ser-v- Ice contract. TIm Grygera, a Iludentrepresentative, vocal- bed student complaints of food service. There Is little or no food service on weekends he said, and Identified majo~ student complaints as carete- ria hours, quality of food, and prices. "U we want to bring stu- dents In from out of state, . we've provided them with housing. we have to provide them with food." he said. . In addition, Grygera said Items In the mini-mart are . priced almost twice that of those available In Racine and Kenosha shopping centers, "There's a substantial problem here," he empha- sized, "and something needs to be done." Hostetter noted that the res- idence halls include kitchens, allowmg' residents to cook on weekends when food service Is not available .. Steve McLaughlin, director of student life, said that hous- jpg officials. are. planning to conduct a survey to deter- mine student residents' needs. "That might give .dlrection to this board on how to go Sue Bostetier about taking action," he said. •'This has been a problem since the beginning of the semester," said Grygera, - asking how much more time would be needed to conduct the survey. McLaughlin and Bostetter agreed that It would be feasl· ble that the surveys could be completed before the next PUAB meetings. The Board will delay action unW that time. Union Director Bill Nelbuhr said the Union has a $100,000 contract with Professional Food Service. Management (PFM). The contract was made before the housing was compleled, inclUding kitch- ens. He said PFM had an op- tion of not coming back, but agreed to maintain the con- tract If It could operate the mini-mart. Nelbuhr added that last year when food service was provided on weekends on a trial basis, it was not success- ful. Moving on to the Issue of remodeling the Union, Nel- buhr distributed -remodeling plans submitted by the Union Remodeling Task Force. "The bottom line is that the cost is beyond our means," he said. Questions that need to be addressed, he said, are: What do we want to do? How will It be paid for? Will seg fees be raised? Whal can be done right away? Much money has been lost In' the dramatic drop In sales of alcoholic beverages in the Union, he noted. Another Union problem Ia pesla. Nelbuhr said there are cockroaches present in tne Union.

Gary Grace recollecl saying anything that could even be construed that way. What she does recollect In the meeting where It sup- posedly took place, was a statement that this Institution with the limited dollars that It has, ought to be gearing In the direction of trying to reo crult full-time students, and to not devote precious re- sources to going out and re- cruiting a student who oniy takes a course at a time. "'That statement alone, whether valid or Invalld had started the rumor that this in- stitution longer cared about the non-traditional student." Grace said that he does not lhInk that Parkside had ever a non-traditional student ad- Inside visor, or an office for non- traditional student services per se, although there have been staff who have worked with non-traditional students, and have also had special programs just for non-trsdl- tional students. He also feels that another factor that has contributed to the misconception of the way the universlly feels about non-tradtttonat students Ia the way the campus has become more visibly Involved with reo cnJ1tment. New offices have been established for trsdltion· al-age recruitment, but It seems as though nothing Is being done tor the non·tradi· tional student.

In order to otter the low-Income minority students tut- tion waivers, existing tuition and student fees would have to be Increased. there would also have to be additional .tate fundlng which would translate into higher taxes. It la beco~ing more and more dlftlcult for students to y tuiUon. Every year 1t increases. Students who must ~te their pursuit of a degree because tuition has be- come out of reach will become angry not at the legisla- ture but at the minority students who will avall them- ""Ivel of lhla educational opportunity. ThIs misguided anger can only lead to trouble. Another troubling aspect of thI. proposal I. the require- ment of only a 2.5 grade point average to receive thil benefit. Studenla who graduate with a 2.5 may not be ready for the rigors of university learning. What support 8)18teme can the UW schools offer these students once they are here? Is It fair to bring students In and not be prepared to keep them here? Low.lncome whlla students will not have an equal op- portunity to recetve a post secondary education because they will not be Included In lhla program. Basing these acl>o1arlhtpa on race la not a sound notion. The System of· ticillB and legtalators who develop this program will not bear the brunt of the Ire of the excluded white students. but the minority students will. The results could be tragic. A better remedy and a more equltable one would be for the System oft1clals and the legislature to work together to create better student financial ald packages. In addl- tlon, the Sy.tem could work harder to recruit and retaln minority faculty, admlntstrators and staff to create peal- tive role models for existing minority students. FInally, there could be a greater emphasis on recruiting minority students. Unfortunately, the most recruited mi· nority students continue to be athletes, and they do not graduate In great numbers, which demonstrates that they are not ready for the academic demands of the unIversity. Recruiting academicaJly talented minority students would provide lllem with an opportunIty to come to the unrver, sity and to stay here.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document December 3, 1987 University of WisconSln-Parkside • Vol. 18. No. 13 State rep addresses student encourage annexation to by Amy H. Ritter News Editor Slate Representative Peter W Barca spoke before 25 stu. deBts Nov. 20 at the Parkside- StudentGovernment Associa- llon(pSGA) meeting, In an attempt to persuade the PSGASenate to reverse the standit has taken against the annexationof Parkside by the city ofKenosha. Barca was not aware until Ills arrival that the students bad actually passed a resolu- llonstating their opposition. "I think it's very impor- tant,not only for the univer- sity,but for the city of Keno- sha, that they are able to annexthis land, " Barca said. Barca refuted suspicions tbat annexation would cause a rise in tuition costs, and Pl'lmised to send the students formal correspondence from Madtsonverifying this. He explained that the pro. ceduresby which munIcipal rvices are paid in wtscon, havechanged. In the past, said, cities charged urn- verslties directly for services rendered. Now, a separate line-term provision In the state budget covers these costs. The city will benefit from annexation, Barca explained, because services are relm. bur-sed based on quallty. While the Town of Somers Is reimbursed $30,000 to $40,000 per year for the services it provides, which includes its volunteer fire department, the city of Kenosha would gain ten times that amount. Barca said Kenosha. because it has a full-time fire depart- ment and its own police de. partment, would be reim- bursed up to $400,000 by the state. . .'4you can see that the amount of revenue coming back to our community, .to this area, would increase ten. fold," Barca told the stu. dents. . Barca said that the quality of services will also improve in other areas, but he stressed the importance of uition waivers not the nly recruitment method by ,fenny Carr EdItor. Explainingthat his campus t had a two·fold purpose, he responsive to faculty, and stUdents arid to try Interpret for the citizens of area what the Board of ents has been doing, the dent of the UW Board of nts, Lawrence Wein* , met With the campus COlllmunityon Nov. 17.

Ill.:, ste in blames the ~ for latching on to a 4loc POrtion of a 35 page "he~ent presented by Shaw Ide8$ ~ he outlined several Or recruiting minority 11IIoo...- students. In a brief summary of the document proposed by Shaw, adequate funding for recruit- ment of minorities and for reo tatnlng the students once they are In -the university were also addressed. _ In addition, Shaw has called for the federal govern- ment programs which have demonstrated that they w~rk like the TRIO program, Peli grants, Head Start, Upward Bound to continue. Weinstein placed a great deal of emphasis on retent- nlon. "It is a -tragedy to come Into the system and not sur- vive. It Is wrong to recruit students for numbers only. We must think of who these students are and what they will need to be successful here." Weinstein emphasized th~cl the entire Shaw proposal IS still to discussed at open hearings . In ,January.. He noted that one of the heanngs coUld be held near Parkside and he encouraged people to participate in those hearm~s. "It is important to exa~lne the entire issue and not Just focus on a small portion of it." he concluded. Peter Barca full-time professtonal fire pro- tection. Somers' volunteer fire de- partment is adequate for a residential area, he said, but not for dorm residents and the daily concentration of stu- dents on campus. In the event of a chemical fire, the Senate endorsement Somers fire department would be called, and the city woUld provide back-up if needed. If annexed, Parkside would call the .city fire de- partment directly. As a member of the Envi- ronmental Resource Commit. tee, Barca said he was re- cently presented With a bill that would require fire- fighters to be famillar With chemicals used In their dis- trict llkely to cause fires. This was in response to an in. cident in Madison in which .several persons were killed in a fire because firefighters ar- rived on the scene and did not know how to treat a particu- . lar chemical. . "Universities were included In this bill, at no small cost to the state," he said, "because we believe so strongly In the need to protect students." Other benefits to Parkslde would include ambulance and police services, as well as garbage pfek-up. "I believe very strongly that (annexation) would be a very positive beneflt to stu- dents, as well as to this insti- tution that I care very much about, " said Barca, who re- sides 1'h miles from campus. "So I would hope that you would in fact reconsider this resolution (opposing annexa- tion) and reverse your posi- tion." The resolution also stated that PSGA was joining Chan- cellor Sheila Kaplan In oppos- ing annexation. Barca said that his conversations with Kaplan have indicated that although she has some can. cems, she does not oppose the venture, but supports it. In a later telephone inter- view, Kaplan said that she never took a stand in opposi- tion to annexaton, and that, In fact, PSGA never asked her what her position was. "We want to look more ex. tenslvely Into the impllcations of annexation," she said. • 'U It would be good for the unI- versity, and if the Town of Somers and other parties in- volved are not negatively im- pacted, then we should seri- ously consider it. IJ Somers F.D. offended by Barca by Amy H. Ritter News Editor The Somers Fire Depart- ment apparently took offense to comments made by State Rep. Peter W. Barca here Nov. 20. Barca, In delivering a speech to the Parkslde stu- dent Government Association (PSGA) supporting the an- nexation of Parkside by the City of Kenosha, said that the university could better be served by Kenosha's full-time fire department than Somers' volunteer fire department. PSGA President Alex Pettit said he was contacted by off!· Congrats College Bowl Winning Wargamers! cials with the Somers squad who Invited him to tour their facilities to illustrate their competence. Pettit said he and/or Jan Kratochvil, a PSGA senator, wllI tour the facility Wednes. day, Dec. 2, and Invited a Ranger reporter to attend. According to a Nov. 25 artl- cle in the Kenosha News, members of Somers Fire and Rescue squads appeared at a Nov. 24 meeting of the Somers Town Board to pro- test the annexation. David Holtze, Somers Town Chairman, said the board is evaluating the issue. "We still don't know the full lmpact," he said. Town attorney Robert Kendall was directed by board members to research annexation laws and report to the board In early December. A meeting between City of Kenosha and Town of Somers representatives to discuss the possibility of annexing Park. side will be held Dec. 8 at 5:30p.m. In a Nov. 29 article, Holtze told the News the suggestion that Kenosha With tts 24.hour fire department could do a better job than Somers' voi- unteers is "a slap in the face." 2 Thursday, December 3. 1987 Ranger our view Roaches, rodents require responsible action -'It 18 not easy to put in stories in the paper each week and lIBten to the wrath of students, faculty, staff and ad- ministration when the stories are not popular. The impor- tant lhtng for the reader to remember Is that the Ranger does not make the news. It just reports It. In our last issue, there was a story concernIng the cock- roaches and rodents In the Union butldlng. Many thought- that It was sensationalist to run It on the front page and to headline It as It was. ThIs Is shortsighted thinking. It Is clear that readers are not Interested In when com- mlttees meet and what they diseuse. U the readers were concerned about the meetings. they would attend them. U that particular story had been run on page 6 referring to the mundane business of the committee. very few readers would know about the seriousness of the cockroach prcb- lem and very UtUe extra would have been done to correct the problem. That approach was taken and we were told that we were added to a lIBt of people who had com- plalned. With almost IlO percent of the Segregated Fee money lIOing to the mortgage. upkeep of the Union buUdlng and salartes of some of Its employees. It la imperative that 8tUdenta are aware of what their money is providing for them. U thla story had been burled, who would have known? Some of the nay-sayers clalmed that the cockroach sttu- atlon was well In control after reading the paper. yet the day before the paper hit the stands. roaches were sUll evt- dent In the Union. Since the story hit. the roach control- lers have hit the Union hard because no one wants to stay away. No one wants to lose business In these already hard Urnes. The roaches are now under control. It meant increasing the.vlalts of the pest control man. It meant spending some money. but the Union butldlng Is being taken care of now and presents a more appeaUng picture to Its patrons who. tor a IILrge part. are also Its benefactors. Student money la well spent when It provtdes all stu· dents with a place we can be proud of. and even when It means that an unpopular. unpleasant topic Uke cock· roaches has to be discussed, It will be worih the wrath to see that there la follow·through by the responsible parties. -----Lefters------ Student leaders should lead Tuition waivers draw support To tile EdItor: Your November 19th edi- torial entitled.

Before Serrano became- president, a complaint was filed by three former mem- bers of United Council's staff with the Equal Opportunity Commission alleging sexual harrasment in the form of .dtscrtmtnatton and differen· tial treatment based on sex. Serrano stated that he has an appointment with an attorney to review the matter. The complaint will be discussed at the January UC meeting. A third concern Pettit raised revolves around the Adrian Serrano United Council's lack of of Implementation of the Stu- dents Taking Action AgaInst Rape (STAAR) project for which they received a $20,000 federal grant. The under- standing the federal govern- ment had with UC was that United Council would match the federal funds, thereby creating a total of $40,000. ,The grant was given to have 13 campus volunteer coordinators and one state- wide coordinator to organize, traIn and implement a pro- gram to asstst victims of sex- ual assault. the program never got off the ground an6 the money was spent. Serrano told the senate that a repay. ment program !las been worked out with the federal government. "The administration of the Victims of Crime (VOCA) was very much mislead, as much as the general assem- bly was, as what was going on with ST AAR financially. Because of that, he doesn't want a big issue made of this, so he was worked out a very reasonable payback sched- ule," Serrano sald. "I can't remember what the numbers are, but It is scheduled to be paId back by the end of the year. As far as I know, we haven't had any problem making the payments." Serrano went on to allay concerns about United Coun- cil's operating budget prob- lems. "I know there have been some rumors floating around that we have not been able to make payroll and that I was spending all the money on travel visiting the campuses and going all around the country. We have never pay. roll. J anua;y, the beginning of Fedruary and September are the tough months because the payroll is paId out of the MRF, and we get all of our money right at the beginning of October and the mlddie of February. Before we receive the money, the fund gets pretty low, but we have made payroll every time and we are on target with all our debts." Information concerning United Council's operation Is available through the PSGA . office located In the 0-1 level of the Wyllie Llbrary·Learn· Ing Center, near the Coffee Shoppe. ourof Somers FD affirms Senate's position Doug McEvoy e of the most controver- Issues at Parkslde lately been the possible annexa. of the campus to Keno. .

"Officially we can't take a stand on the Issue as a de- partment except to say that we feel we can serve Park- side's needs more than ade- quately," Krause comment- ed. ' .Barca insisted that the quality of service Parkslde should receive from Kenosha Is better than that of Somers. He felt that the' Somers fire department Is Inadequate to serve a complex as large as Parkslde and the annexation would bring an additional $400,000 to $700,000 In state revenue Into the city of Keno· sha. One of the maIn Issues dts- cussed between PSGA and the Somers departinent was . that of response time. Once an alarm has been sounded at Parkslde for a fire, the Somers response time Is only 5-7 minutes to Kenosha's re- sponse time of up to 15-20 minutes. This difference can be crucial, especially if a fire were to start In the dorms. Their wood construction and thin walls leave them espe- cially susceptible to rapid spread of fire. Kenosha'S re- sponse times may change upon completion of Its north· side station. Barca claimed that the fact that the Kenosha department Is a full·time department . means that It Is better equipped to serve the needs of Parkslde. The Somers de- partment claimed that quite the,opposlte Is true. liThe tanker at Somers can carry up to 1000 gallons of water and Is capable of un- loading the entire amount In only one minute. If neces- sary," Krause explained. Kenosha has no such tankers, and relies entirely on the hy- 'drant system. Somers also has two off-road four-wheel drive vehicles for combatting grass fires. The Kenosha de- partment has no such vehi- cles. The paramedics In Somers are of a higher classification than those In Kenosha. They are required to be re-certlfied every two years, which en- tails being up to date on all new procedures. The mutual aid box alarm system allows Somers to draw upon other fire depart- . ments for ald. If the Somers department found themselves In a situation that they could not handie alone, they would initiate' the first alarm, then the second, then the third, and so on. Each time they would contact a group of local departments, drawing oh the nearest stations first, until In theory they would ,,"ve. enough equipment to manage the worst Imaginable sttua- tlon. The system does not draw too much support from any one station so as not to disa- ble them from responding to other calls. Kenosha has not yet officially joined with Somers In this system. Currently, the Somers fire department has a direct com- municatlon system with Parkslde security. They are able to be told exact sltua- tlons In the case of an emer- gency and are escorted by the campus pollee dtrectly to the scene. -When a call comes in from the dispatcher, beepers go off on the belts of the vol- unteers. Those in the immedi- ate area go to the station and bring the equipment to the scene, .where those who wer~ not In the area at the time will meet them or will be waiting for them. On the Iowa "lerage, Somers would respond to a call with 12 men to Kenosha's six. Somer's high average is 25 men. Somers would respond to a Parkslde call with. one aerial, one pumper, two tank- ers and a rescue unit. Should more be requtred they can bring In two more pumpers from their second station. IJ the incident were to inVOlVE hazardous matertaIs, they carry a book on how to treat various emergencies involv- Ing hazardous materIals at all times. They also have accees to a company called Chem· track for additional asslst- ance .

Each of the student areas has been prepanng their budgets to present them to the committee. Each area wlll no doubt offer Its members the opportunity to evaluate the budget before It Is presented to SUFAC. The Union building bears the burden of being the area with the largest financial support of the students. Last year, $284,941 of the $763,101 Segregated Fee budget went to support the Union. It Is vtlal that as much student input Is given to the budgets of the Union as possible. ThIs Is the time to have the Parkslde Union Advisory Board (PUAB) exhibit Its unique ability to evaluate the Union budgets and make pertinent suggestions before SUF AC sees them in order to afford students as much representation as possible in the declslon-m&!<lngprocess. Havtng a prtmary student group examine the Union budget before It goes to SUFAC Is not only our responsl .. bUty, It Is our right. To'lbe Editor: I read with great Interest the opinion stated in the Dec. 8rd Issue of the Ranger. I am referring to the article on an- nexatlon. WhUe I do not know enough about the politics of annexation or the financial benefits received, I do know somethlng about the benents- /drawhacks of an increase in fire and rescue protection. Having spent six years with a professional fire and rescue department as a FIrefighter FIrst Class/Paramedic I feel that some of the etatements make by the EMT-D from Somers Volunteer FIre De. partment were not quite cor. rect; furthermore, I feel It Is my responalbility to point out these discrepancies. I want to begin with the statement "Most of Somers' EMTs are certified EMT-Ds meaning they can deflbrltate in cases of cardiac arrest." ThIs statement Is very mts- leading to the general public. Most people are unfamiliar with the terms of cardiac ar- rest or deflbr1Uation. . C&rd1ac arrest is a cessa- tion of the heart muscle to pump the blood throughout • • issue the body. It also means that the lungs are not exchanging the gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) as they would nor- mally do. In the case of ven- trlcular flbr1liatlon (a symp- tom of cardiac arrest) the heart's electrical system Is not flJIlctlonlng properly. By deflbr1liatlng, the rescuer Is provtdlng an outside source of electricity to try and "jump start" the heart back into Its normal rhythm. If this Is sue- essM, the next step Is the administration of cardisc drugs, such as lidocaine or bretylium. When these drugs are not administered the chance. of the patient re-de- veloplng the ventricular fl- br1Uation rhythm Is extreme- ly high. An EMT -0 cannot admlnls. ter these cardiac drugs' and, therefore, Is only provtdlng a fraction of the treatment that Is called for. If the rescuer Is not successful in converting the patient into a life sustaln- gin heart rhythm, they wlll simply deflbr1Uate again and again. Each time the heart Is deflbr1liated there Is a certain amount of scar tissue formed and severe damage done to and Ranger :Ir------:~---------------------------~----------~:i your views J. Annexation the heart muscle. At the same time the lactic acid Is building up to lethal levels and other cardlsc drugs must be administered to prevent this. What I am trying to point out Is that the EMT·D Is only provtdlng care one minimal step above the EMT-A, lind in certain cases can actually do more damage to the heart muscle than good. When I was trained as a paramedic one fundamental point of treatment was f'if you can't do any good, don't do any harm". All EMTs have to undergo refresher training periodi- cally, so the statement that "our EMTa attend a refresh- er class every two years and are certified In CPR every year." is again very mislead. Ing. She Is Implying that the Kenosha Ftreflghter /EMTs do not undergo thls same type of training when It Is in fact state mandated. The issue ·of response time mentioned by the EMT-D from Somer's also has very amblgiJous undertones. The response from Somers' sta- tion has two major draw.

Janll8lY 28. 1987 Ranger our view Eligibility is studf!n.t~' primary responsibility An unfortunate situation concerning eligibllity of ath- letes has presented itself at Parkside this semester. ~e really unfortunate part of the situation is that the entire problem is completely avoidable. When students enter Parkside. they are given catalogs which oulline the rules and regulations concerning Col- legiate Skllls and academic standing. As adults. students are expected to know how to read any.. if there are ques- tions concerning the rules. to ask for assistance. While It Is easy to blame poor advising or poor follow-up on the part of the athletic coaches, the person who ulti- mately pays the penalty for lack of Information is the stu- dent. Over the years, many students have had to sit out a semester or even a year due to lack of completion of Col- legiate Skills or poor academic standing. It seems that the missing 1Ink' In this chain could be the lack of adequate follow up on the part of the students. If you have not received your transcript from the fall semester, or, It you did not look at It closely, you should. Collegiate Skills Information and academic standing reo qutrements are specifically ouUlned In the catalog. All the advisers know them. or should. If you, the student, do not take the time to check on your status. why should anyone else? To the Editor: Some time back there were several articles In the Ranger regarding the roach, ant and rodent populations on our pic- turesque campus. Although I have not been approached personally by any of the aforementioned wildlife. I have walked down the invio- lable halls of this realm of higher education and I could readily see the reason they selected UW-P for their home. When I visited my sons at UW·Whltewater and UW- Madison I though I knew where all the pigs resided, but little old UW-Parkslde definitely ranks very high In the "Pigpen Book of Re- cords". Amy Ritter was right on target when she wrote In the December 3 issue of the Ranger "one of the first signs of maturity Is personal reo sponsibllity ....and personal responsibility Includes the ability to clean up after one- sell." There are nursery schools in the area where stu- dents maintain cleaner sur- roundings that those majn- taIned by the students here. As a non-traditional stu- replace dent, I am seldom able to share in the daytime activi- tles which lake place at Park- side; I only see the mess which is left behind. The cus- todians who are responsible for the cleanliness of these beautiful buIldings cannot possibly keep up with the hordes of slobs working against them. ThIs is an Ideal situation for the future leaders of our soet- ety to show that they are strong enough to resolve one of the problems they will • have to deal with throughout their lIves...cleaning up the environment. Ii each student who Is not contributing to the problems would pick up just one piece of litter, or work with other people who care to exert "peer pressure" on the pigs, the ants, rodents and cock- roaches would have to go elsewhere for tneir- free lunches.

Duetsch referred to a sur- vey conducted by the Com- mittee on Campus Environ- ment dated Feb. 16, 1987. The committee, in the sur- vey findings, made the follow- ing recommendation: "The logic behind- the activity hour is still legitimate. However, we believe that an tnvesttga- tlon needs to be done, In coor- dlnatlon with the student gov- .emment, to determine the use of the activity hour and the possiblllty of retaining the logic of setting aside an hour for student activity but mov- Ing It to a time that will meet the variety of needs of the dl- verse student body, both aca- demic and extra-curricular."

"I would assume the admfntstratfon would solicit the- advice of student groups before making a. decislon, as well as the advice of the Fac- ulty Senate" determined here. "Having said that, I really like this proposal," he satd, provoking laughter. Alex Pettit, Parkside Stu- dent Government Association (PSGA) president, disagreed with Duetsch. "What I'm arguing here Is that this resolution is not a result of discussion from that committee," Pettit said. "Had the committee dis- cussed It, and had a student representative discussed It, and determined either a change, or a modification, or even tmnrlnation of the activi- ty hour was in order f then thai would be much more ap- proprlate than a resolution before the Faculty Senate." The student 8er.ate, he ex- plained, recently passed a resolution In support of the activity hour. "We're not ada- mently oppoaed to changing the activity hour, but .we are Vol. 18. No. 17 opposed to making thla type of change on the floor of a faculty Senate like this." Pet- tit argued that student opin- ion should be considered be- fore the Faculty Senate takes a stand. Pettit rebutted Duetsch's allegation that not many stu- dents use the activity hour, saytng that for example, the student Senate meets during that time. Also, smaller groups who do not have their meeting times posted meet during the hour. He said the Academic Poli- cies Committee (APC) was discussing taking a survey via postcards to reveal stu- dent sentiment regarding the activity hour. He suggested that the Senate allow the de- cision to take its normal course, through the commit- tee, before being decided on the 8enate floor. James H. Shea.

Senators Tim Grygera, Jan ,Kratochvil, Jay Lewandow- ski, Steven R. Picazo,. Dan Vogt and .Julie Wunrow Friday voted to run the refer- endum on the ballot. Senators Gary Heggeland, Dan Perrault and Stephanie Tatem 'voted against. Senators Debl Fritchow and J.J. Masterson abstained. Sue Walborn and Kevin Zirkel- bach were not present. "I had a conversation with (UC President) Adrian Serra- . no." said Heggeland in ex- plaining his "no" vote. "He had given us a list of legisla- tors from this area who said that United Council is a good organization and an effective lobby. It seemed like the or· ganization deserves strong consideration before going against it," Perrault said: "I didn't have enough information at the time. I was uninformed in my no vote. " "In my own jUdgment, I was uncertain on a' point or two," said Tatem. "I wanted to get more information." Serrano, a former PSGA president, sent all the sena- tors a letter outlining UC's accomplishments. Among these claims are a $69 sav- ings in tuition, initiation of an amendment that provides fi- nancial aid for students with young children, and the Intent to lobby for the Tuition Cap Bill (which would limit tultlon to 33 percent of educational cost). The letter also said: "Next year the UC Plat- form will be viewed 'by (law- makers) as the platform of the OW System students. If Parkside is not a member they will have had' no say In this platform ... "Next year if UC does not officially represent Parkside, UC will still talk to policy makers and odds are not one will say, 'but you don't repre~ sent Parkside,' "Look at the accomplish- ments and what your elected state officials say about United Council. Look at the substance, not the personali- ties," If Parkslde does withdraw from the state lobbying or- ganization, however. it can still enjoy the benefits of any victories won on behalf of ~ System students. Pettit hopes the propoaaJ to run the referendum will be brought up again, and passed, at next Friday'S Senate meet- ing. It can only be introduced by a senator who voted against It. 2 Thursday, February 25, 1988 Ranger our view Student etections offer educaffonalopporluni~ ThIs is the coffee generation of Parkside student ad- vocacy. This year's Parkslde Student Government ASSOOl· ation (PSGA) has been moving and shaking to get things accomplished for students. The student attendance at the faculty senate meeting last week would not have hap- pene.., In the past. There is Ilfe on this campus. PSGA has extended the deadline for the return of peti- tions for students who are interested in joining in on the moving and shaking going on at Parkslde. The hope here Is that more students will have the opportunity to consider holding an office and representing the concerns of the dt- verse population of Parkside. It's always easy to sit back and complain about those who are wl1l1ngto take the risk and step forward to make a difference. It Is a whole new ball game to take that risk yourself. This university has always taken pride In Its fine educe- tional programs. It Is important to remember that every opportunity that a student takes to learn about the unrver- slty system. the law and the budgetary process w1II have far-reaching benefits beyond the classroom. . PSGA's office is In the D·1 level of the WLLC building. The door is always open. There are people there who are wl1l1ngto take a chance on students. Take a chance and make a difference.

This Idea see U.C. page 3 iQ Iyour views Ranger ethics compared to Pravda To the Editor: . In the past year I have seen a few articles in this news- paper that state the necessity for freedom of the press. I agree one hundred percent that a free press is (if I may use part of a September, 1987 headline) "Vital In unveiling the truth." However, there are a few ttifngs that lead me to wonder whether this news- paper has the freedom to "unveil the truth ... To mustrate this point. out of the six members of the Segregated University Fees Allocations Committee (SUFAC), three of them are staff members of this news- paper; and one of these news. paper staff persons Is not only the chairperson of SUFAC but Is also the Ediior of this newspaper. Since this newspaper has to compete with other student organizations for its share of students' monies, Can It also report the decisions of this Important committee fairly and accurately? To make an analogy, if a journalist such as Dan Rather or William F. Buckley Jr. were members of the United States Congress. could they fairly and accurately report Congressional news? (Some argue that these two cannot report or comment on the news fairly anyway. ) The only other newspaper that I can think of that is so closely associated with gov- ernment is Pravda In the Soviet Union. Such a l1nk be- tween the press and govern. ment is an anathema to our American heritage. - Has there been an incident that would be a reason for concern about this close as- sociation of the press and government on this campus? Yes. Last November, SUFAC elected the Editor of the newspaper to be the chalrper- son of the committee. How- ever, the election was protest- ed and then ruled invalid by the judicial branch of Student Government because the indi- vidual did not receive the proper amount of votes as stated In the PSGA Constitu- tion. Why was this important news story ignored by this newspaper? Does it have any. thing to do with the Editor avoiding possible conflict of Interest charges for being the chair of SUFAC also? That I~ why r question the ability of this newspaper to "unveil the truth" on issues not only involving SUFACbut also issues involving student government and United. Coun- cil. As American citizens we must remember. that along with freedom come certain responsibilities. I question the ethics of this newspaper; but it also seems that this news- paper is not free. but it is en- slaved. Fred Manard!

Jesse Jackson ignited a crowd of over 2,000 angry workers and concerned citt- zens Tuesday (Feb. 2) during a noon rally held at the Chrysler plant. Jackson was on the scene to show his support and feelings on the announcement by Chrysler to close its Kenosha plant, phasing out 5,500. jobs by September. Citizens anxiously awaited Jackson's appearance, al- though cheering responsively to several introductory speak- ers, including Kenosha Mayor Eugene Dorff and United Auto Workers Local 72 Chair- man Rudy Kuzel. Jackson's message was one of incitement. ..Don't you surrender," he said. "Don't you bow. If they say cut back, you say fight back." Jackson, a Democratic presidential candidate, made reference to the financial as- sistance the government granted Lee Iacocca to save Chrysler when the company went bankrupt. "We bailed out Chrysler," Jackson asserted, "Now Chrysler is gonna bail out Kenosha. Bail out these work- ers! Bail out these workers!" Among the many signs and banners floating above the cheering crowd was one that read, .,Ayatollah Iacocca-· What's the difference?" .'We keep hearing about the millions of dollars that will be lost" if Chrysler stays in Kenosha, Jackson said. "But what about the 5.500 traumatized households? The children? The senior citizens and their security? "Stop putting profits over people," he demanded of Chrysler. "Put America back to work. - "Workers, don't you give up. A people divided wlll never. survive." . Presidential candidate Jesse Jackson spoke wilh • group of workers at the Chryslerplant last week. Channel 12' gets students' reaction by·Amy.H. Ritter News Editor Three Parkslde students hit the airwaves Thursday (Feb. 4) as part of a special televi- sion broadcast titled . 'Keno- sha Fights Back" at 6'30 p.m. on Milwaukee's Channel 12. Reporter Dennis Dean In- terviewed the students wed- nesday (Feb. 3) to gain in- sight on the perspective of Kenosha's youth in reaction to the closing of the Chrysler plant. This move will elimi- nate 5.500 jobs in Kenosha by September. "It's a mood piece," Dean explained. "We wanted to as- certain the mood of Kenosha. We wanted to talk to young people who may be around, or may not be around in the future. College students are looking more toward the fu- ture than are, say, high school students.

One freshman, when he dis- covered he was among the students filmed travelling though the hallway. became greatly animated and told his friends, l<I'm on TV!" The interviews aired re- flected hope for Kenosha's fu- ture despite the economic strain of the Chrysler pullout. "For the first couple of years it will be bad," said Becky Matoska, a junior majoring in history, "and then it might start picking up, especially if they keep bring- ing in other corporations. Then it wlll pick up after awhile. " "At first it's gonna be tough," said junior Mike Oldni, "but' you'll notice there's a lot of optimism in the community--if you read the papers--that Kenosha can pull through. And I think it can too." "1 think in the long run, it's gonna have a good effect on Kenosha's economy," said sophomore Mike Bishop. When Dean asked Bishop why, he explained, "It seems like Kenosha's. been preoccu- pied with AMC and Chrysler. and they've forgotten about the small businesses. They provide a lot of employment in Kenosha. "1 think this wtll force photo by John KIftOe Holly Shamshoin, a ;unior communication student, wes Inler· viewe~ by Channel12s DennisDean.

Her father and brother are among the workers who will. be laid off. Other students whose Inter- views were not aired were: Bobbi Jo Slater, freshman; Kevin Johnson, freshman: Thad Jensen, freshman; and Holly Shamsholan, senior. ---------------~ 2 Thursday, February 11, 1988 Ranger I our views Activity hour vital to student life on campus Thls week the entire campus is involved in an annual event Wlnt~r Carnival. The event was kicked off with a parade down the concourse at one o'clock on Monday. All along the parade route were crowds of students. faculty. adminlstrators and staff cheering as the spectacle passed. Throughout the week there have been many events. most of which have been taking place during the one o'clock activity hour. It is refreshing and el<h1laratlng to see the enthusiasm of those students involved. It would be a ahame to throw a wet blanket over this kind of team play. It could happen soon. The faculty senate will take the Issue of eliminating the one o'clock activity hour at its meeting next week. The hope of these faculty members is than an additional class. hour can be added to the day by making this change. The apparent feeUng of the faculty members who are propos- Ing the change 18 the low number of students who par-tiel- pate In the opportunity to be Involved In clubs on campus does not warrant lhI8 time to be used for activity, but should be used as a class hour Instead.
