"1 don't think sexual har- assment Is as well understood as It could be. "The next step," continued Rubner, "is to report it (sex- ual harassment). People have to come out of the closet on this one." In addition to educating the campus community. about sexual harassment, the Com- mittee functioned "to provide a means for people to report sexual harassment with as 11t- tle anxiety and embarrass- ment as possible," according to Stella Gray, the first to chair the Committee back in 1981. To this effect. the names of the Committee members were published, which re- sulted in individual members being contacted by persons claiming sexual harassment. The Committee member would then gather informa- tion from the parties tn- volved, come to the Com~lt. tee for advice and take the ID- formation back to the parties Invloved without ever having disclosed any names. "The Committee as a whole never heard any cases," stated Rubner. OlIn a way, that's the way It should be. The cases were resolved with· out going public."

Our reasons for backing Alex Pettit and Corby Ander- son, explained last week, need no elaboration. Our deci- sion to endorse candidates. however. is a right and re- sponslbllity which warrants clartncatlon, especially in light of the absurd charges which have been lobbed our way. As a newspaper serving the Parkslde community, the , Ranger exists to Inform students, staff and admlnlstratlon of Issues and events relevant to them. That responsibility, In part, Includes formulating a cogent edltorlal opinion, one that reflects a staff consensus and whose purpose is to logically lead readers to a better understanding of com. plex, slgnlflcant matters. Such a rationale has been germane to freedom of the press since the Constitution established that-fundamental right. Yet It has been suggested by some protestors that total freedom of the press does not apply to student publi- cations like the Ranger, which are partially funded through student-generated segregated fees. We ardently dlsagree. It Is a specious claim that the Ranger be prohibited from endorsing a political candidate on the grounds that doing so Is an infraction of a UW -System Board of Re- gents policy stating that segregated fee monles cannot be used to support political campaigns and activities. Such a provision does exist, In the System!! FInancial Policy and Procedure Paper '20 (FPPP 20), but It pertains only to the "giving of segregated fees" to political organizations, accordlng to James Albers, the System's director of auxn- lary operations. •'The consensus here (among System officials)." Albers told the Ranger this week, "ls that as long as i( is a nor- mal part of edltorla1 policy, the endorsing of candldates Is perfectly In the context of First Amendment rights. Since the purpose of your newspaper Is not political, but infor- mational, edltorlaIlzlng • and endorsing candldates • Is permissible. " It has also been intimated that our endorsement Is In some way part of a "hidden agenda" our staff has de- vised to strengthen Its already "slgnlflcant power to Influ· ence public oplnlon on campus." It Is sad Indeed that per- sons and organizations which supposedly have the inter- ests of the university at heart see fit to accuse us of collu- sion without benefit of anything other than a feeling that "there may be a hidden agenda." It Is an ugly, conten- tlous insinuation and deserves little serious consideration. There is one point, however. on which we and our de- tractors agree: "freedom- of the press Is not an absolute." Instead, It Is a fragile package which must be handled with great care, since Its contents are precious. We view our duty as that of the postal Inspector: to assure that the bundle Isn't knocked about and damaged, so that what's inside can be enjoyed for generations. Endorsing candldates for office Is just one way we do that job.

This Is not a reflection on any individual candldate but Is a matter of principle. The Ranger serves a vital function at Parkslde. It serves to disseminate Infor- matton about activities and issues on this campus and to print the major viewpoints and concerns of students, fac- ulty and staff.

Once accepted to Parkside conditional stUdents received a letter from Stuart Rubner director of student counseling and testing I which read, "Even though you did not meet all of the requirements for admissions, a review of your overall record indicates potential for success in Colle- ge. You have therefore been admitted on the condition that you meet With an adVisor and follow the program prescr-tb, ed for you." According to Cashen, "this is the program being pre. scribed for them (In the let. ter) ... that program prescrth. ed for them could be any number of things. The one that's in my letters may not necessarily be the only pro- gram that will be going for them. "Conditional admission," continued Cashen, "is a brand new status and what the university is doing is to try to implement a program that will help these students." Cashen's letter to spring conditional students stated, "You must meet with your advisor to select appropriate courses for your first semes- ter at UW-Parkside... You must meet with your advisor at least three times during the spring semester. These meetings will take place dur- ing the weeks Jan. 26 to Feb. 6; March 2 to March 13; and April 6 to April 17... You must meet with your advisor any time you wish to change your Course enrollment." The letter continued, "You must attend a special pro- gram designed to assess your readiness for college study. A part of the program will be devoted to the administration of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory (LASS1)." Students were gi yen two dates to choose from to take the Inventory, The last sentence of the Jet- ter was underlined and read, "Remember, attending one of these sessions is a require- ment of your admission. ,.

Neither, however, does she see the dlvlslonal evaluaUons as "it."

"The faculty member has a right to ensure that the aver- age person on the street doesn't get any look Into that person's personnel file," Peck explained. "If these forms were to be generally releas- ed, the next argument would be, "Okay, now the public has a right to look at any part of an instructor's personnel fHe." "And in that case," she continued, "I think you're really opening up a Pandora's Box." The issue of student acces- sibility to teacher evaluation forms was raised anew dur- Ing last week's SUFAC budgeting sessions. Adrian Serrano, Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) president. requested additional segregated fee funds to hire a director of SAFE. the Student Acquired Faculty Evaluation program run by PSGA.

That's when we went ahead and devised our own SAFE form." Don Harmeyer The SAFE form Itself is cited by some as a major rea. son why the university's forms need to be released. Last semester, the Ranger strongly condemned the sur- veys as "telling students nothing substantive" about Instructor's ability. and Peck concurs. "Truth fully.

Harmeyer continued, "Major status for SOC is our number one goal. We're going to rally aroud this, we're going to pick up the pieces. This just isn't something that Bill wanted or I wanted, it's what we all want. and you can put that In big bold print. "I'd like to clear up a point about Bill Serpe." Harmeyer added.

Students have right to see evaluations As students. we agree that teacher evaluation forms should not be released to "the average person on the street." However, as students we also take offense to being lumped Into that "average person" category. Since the information we provide on divisional evahra- Uon forms Is used In determining faculty pay Increases and tenure, It Is not only logical, but necessary, that we be granted access to the evaluatory results those forms generate. As the group most affected by an instructor's ability or Inability to teach, we deserve useful information regardlng that ability, especially It we provide that Infor- matton ourselves. Faculty and admlnlstration claim that if students are given access to these evaluations. it would be akin to the universIty advertising each student's transcript in the media. What they overlook in drawing such specious con- clusions Is that we pay for the Instruction we receive here. and therefore are entitled to know its effectiveness. The general public does not pay to know our grades, and thus there's no reason they should be granted access to them. It has also been suggested that the Parkslde Student Government Association (PSGA) work to further develop Ita Student Acquired Faculty Evaluation (SAFE) pro- gram, 80 that students have information about instructors at their disposal. Our Viewpoint, and Indeed the viewpoint of Chancellor Sheila Kapian, as she expressed in a recent interview with a Ranger reporter, Is that "It there's no good reason why the divisional forms are not released to students, it doesn't make sense to use two forms." At this point, students are still waltlng for the ad. ministration to devise a "good reason" for withholding tho8e forms. VnW such justification is presented, we owe it to our- .elves to tight voraciously for access to teacher evalua- tion forms. In an era when decisions regarding issues like tuition hikes are taken further and further from our hands. it could be one of the last areas in which we can control the direction of our college education. Nobody'askedme,~ Feminism a means to an end outside the range of approprt- ate female behavior. I didn't personally know other women who had gone through the same experiences and feelings with whom I could talk. It wasn't until one year ago, when I was talking with one of my friends, that I was exposed and introduced to a whole way of looking at the world in terms of women's thoughts and experiences. This way, much to my sur- prise, is feminism. I had known this friend for a few months when, during one of our conversations, she labeled herself a feminist. Right then I was forced to r-edefine what I thought a feminist was. I originally thought a femi- nist was an angry woman who went too far with this equal rights thing and hated men and maybe even was a lesbian. My definition was very narrow, and only includ- ed some of the characteristics of some feminists. Where I got such a denntuon, I may never know. When I finally forgave myself for having such a nar- row definition, I went a year of talking wilJl reading about women men who are feminists. (Ta I learned that men~ feminists.

Hence, it was a huge surprise for me to be denied a job stocking shelves because the owner of the store felt that that type of work was not ap- propriate for females. The job incident, along with being labeled a tomboy most of my pre- adolescent years, clearly and early pointed out to me the bias people have about what is appropriate female and male behavior. I always felt that such nar- row stereotypes were wrong, and I felt stifled and a misfit because I wasn't allowed to do what I did without havtng It pointed out to me that I was .acting outside of ap- proprtate female behavior.

There is a new chancellor, a new assistant chancellor, new housing and a new admissions policy. Parkside is facing a metamorphosis. Part of that change has been triggered by the new admissions policy. In the past, Parkside maintained an open admissions policy. In other words, virtually no one was denied entrance into Parkside. However* effective this semester the admissions policy has changed. Students will now be required to meet a set of necessary requirements before being allowed to attend Parkside. This does not mean that students unable to meet the requirements will be denied entrance, rather they will be deferred. "We don't deny anyone admission to Parkside," said Stuart Rubner, Director of Student Counseling arid Development. "We defer them until they have sufficient skill levels in reading, writing and math to ensure that when they do attend Parkside they stand a reasonable chance of succeeding." 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. These courses include three years in English composition and/or literature, algebra, geometry and a four year total consisting of a combination of two years of social studies, science, or a foreign language. Admissions see page 6 Tuition on the rise . . . again by Gary L. Schneeberger Editor Despite the recent raising of Wisconsin's drinking age, it will be "business as usual" this year for the Parkside Union, according to Director Bill Niebuhr. "We're going to be operating under the same policy we always have, for the time being," Niebuhr said. "Our bartenders have the discretion to card or not to card based on their absolute knowledge that a person is ofage. "However," he continued, "what we're going to do is stress to bartenders that it's better for them to be overly careful than not careful enough." The state legislature approved the hiking of Wisconsin's drinking age in June, raising the legal age at which one can legally drink alcohol from 19 to 21. The law contains a "grandfather clause" which still allows those who turn 19 before September 1, 1986 to retain their drinking rights. According to Niebuhr, that "grandfather" provision might force the Union to change its alcohol policies in the next few years. "When the age group 'protected' by the grandfather clause can no longer drink legally, we might reach the conclusion that the number of people who can drink is so small that it won't even be worth running a day-to-day bar service," he said. "There's also the possibility." Niebuhr continued, "that we'll go with a beer island service-where some students have access to a section of the Union where alcohol is served and others don't." These and other options will be discussed by the Parkside Union Advisory Board (PUAB), which will recommend a course of action to Chancellor Sheila Kaplan, who possesses the authority of ul timate decision. Drinking see page 5 by Jennie Tunldeicz Is $693.50 a lot to pay for tuition? It could be more next year. Students must pay a larger percentage of instructional fees this year, which has resulted in a tuition increase. And unless groups against further increases are successful, tuition will continue to rise. Last spring the Wisconsin legislature voted to increase the percentage students pay for the cost of instruction from 30 percent to 31.5 percent for state residents with the state funding the remainder of the costs. Non-resident undergraduate tuition increased from 100 percent to 101 percent, and graduate student tuition also increased substantially. This semester state residents who are full-time undergraduate students are paying $601 fo r instructional fees, up from $538.50; nonresidents are paying $2,002.50, up from $1,855. In the UW-System seven years ago, it was traditional for students to pay only 25 perent of instructional fees. But inflation, and a study that showed Wisconsin tuition substantially below that of the Big Ten schools, persuaded the legislature to raise tuition. "We are still below the average (tuition) in comparison to Big Ten instutitions," said Gary Goetz, assistant chancellor for fiscal affairs. "The continuing issue before the legislature will be 'what is a fair rate to charge our students'?" said Goetz. Due to an enrollment decline, segregated fees which support student services and activities also increased $4, from $88 to $92 per semester. While tuition is the same at all UW campuses, segregated fees are set by each school. It appears these fees will also continue to rise. "We needed to increase the fees in order to hold on to program levels with the decreasing enrollment. Fees will definitely keep increasing because the needs of the university are increasing," said Goetz. Andy Buchanan, chair of SUFAC (Segregated University Fees Allocations Committee) the all-student committee which sets the fees, hopes enrollment has increased so that budgets won't have to be cut this year. "We set last year's budget up on the basis of a student enrollment prediction. If enrollment is up, we will have more money in the budget, but if enrollment is down we'll have to cut budgets," said Buchanan. Fighting to prevent further tuition and segregated fee increases are the Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) and the United Council (UC) of W isconsin Student Governments, a student lobbying group. Last year when the legislature was discussing increasing tuition, Gov. Anthony Earl commented on the apparent lack of student concern about the increases. PSGA and UC hope to change that. "UC's biggest fight next year will be to keep tuition Tuition see page 4 Editorial Make a commitment It's that time of year again. Time to buy books, attend classes, do homework and take tests; time to take the furthering of your education one more step, to set higher goals in your pursuit of higher education. For whatever reasons, you'­ ve chosen Parkside as the place to accomplish these tasks. For some of you, 1986 is another in a number of years spent here. For others, this term marks your very first college experience. For all of us, however, it could, and should, be the best year of our lives. Parkside is not a perfect university; to say that it is would be trying to pull the wool over our own eyes. The campus has always been plagued by an "image problem," a euphemism created by its administration to describe its lack of direction and purpose. This has led to Parkside being knocked as a third-rate college that will admit anyone with a high school diploma in one hand and a check for the Bursar in the other. Despite these and other problems, however, this is and always has been a university with tremendous potential. And Parkside circa 1986 is in the perfect position to make the most of that untapped promise. This, year, we have new administrators, new on-campus student housing and a new admissions policy, factors which we at the Ranger believe will do much to erase Parkside's negative image. To make that erasure complete, however, we as students must develop (if Patti LaBelle will forgive us) a new attitude. An integral part of developing that new attitude is waking up to the possibilities Parkside offers us outside of the classroom. While academics should indeed be our number one priority, we owe it to ourselves to sample the extra-curricular student life options available to us. for it is in these activities that "getting an education" becomes much more than just "going to school." That's because the university experience, ideally, should teach us more than how to write a descriptive paragraph or balance a ledger. It should also teach us how to work together - how to appreciate and understand how we all interact in pursuit of a common goal. This year, let's make our goal the commitment to becoming committed. Take a good, long look at the student life opportunities available to you, choose one or more, and go for it. You'll be amazed at the difference your involvement can make - in yourself and in your university. Ranger staff revealed The Ranger is an awardwinning newspaper, and its staff is a dedicated, knowledgable core of students who want your input. Last spring, the paper was awarded First Class honors by the Associated Collegiate Press and a First Place with Special Merit distinction from the American Scholastic Press Association.

Students seeking credit for their "experiential learning" must develop a portfolio. The processing of such a portfolio costs the student far less than what it costs to take a course that would earn the student the same number of credits. inursaay, aepcemoer 4, s Club Events Accounting Club Geology Gerald Fowler, geologist at Parkside, will speak on Friday, Sept. 6 at 1 p.m. in GRNQ 113.

Women profs honored for teaching Laura Gellott, an assistant professor of history, and Esther Will, a specialist teaching biological sciences, were named recipients of 1986 Stella C. Gray/Alumni Association Distinguished Teaching Awards at the May graduation ceremony. Gellott, whose research specialty is the study of authoritarian society in central Europe in the 1930's, joined Parkside in 1982. She holds a PhD degree in modern European history from Madison, and traveled to Vienna to conduct research for her doctoral thesis on the Catholic Church in Austria. She returned to Vienna last year fdr further research. Gellott also holds master's and bachelor's degrees in modern European history from Marquette University. She was described by students as enthusiastic, knowledgeable and an exceptional communicator who takes a genuine interest in her students. Said one student: "Prof. Gellott is a terrific teacher. She knows her subject well and shares it enthusiastically." Colleagues also had praise for Gellott. Said one: ' 'Laura's teaching performance is outstanding. She develops a rapport in the classroom that greatly facilitates the learning process." Another colleague said, "Laura displays a vivid picture of historical events, which engages her students in a meaningful analysis of causes of change." Gellott was the recipient of a 1983 Lilly Post Doctoral Teaching Fellowship through a grant received by the UW System Undergraduate Teaching Improvement Council from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., of Indianapolis. Will, who also joined Parkside in 1982, holds a master's degree in physiology from Emporia (Kansas) State University, where she maintained a perfect 4.0 gradepoint average. She also has a bachelor's degree in biology from Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas. She teaches a number of biological science courses, inclouding anatomy, physiology and bioscience (the study of plants and animals). She also has developed special courses including one that examines the biology of men and women and can be taken for general science credit or as part of the Women's Studies Program. In being named for the Distinguished Teaching Award, Will was lauded for her enthusiasm for and commitment to her subject matter. She has been instrumental in keeping the anatomy laboratories up to date and was the primary force behind the university's acquisition of a cadaver that has greatly enhanced students' understanding of anatomy in health-related programs such as premedicine and nursing. Students and colleagues alike praised WU1 for her teaching exceUence, devotion to her subject matter and fairness in the classroom. Said one student: "She gives hard tests that make people think." Said another: "She creates a classroom where students want to show up." "Esther is really one of the brightest and friendliest persons I have had the pleasure to know," said one coUeague. "She's always willing to go the extra step to help her students. She's competent and dedicated and she's a joy to be around." Installation of call boxes steps up safety by Kelly McKJssick After overcoming legal and administrational barriers, Parkside wU finally receive an emergency communication system for its parking lots. The installation of the system which was purchased from Motorola for $19,000, should begin in late October. One of the original problems with the installation of these one watt boxes was a violation of Federal Communications Commission (FCC) codes. According to Jim Marks, assistant director for business services, the original license issued to Parkside for the call boxes was strictly for security. However, a new license was applied for which would allow anyone to operate the boxes. The FCC has not yet approved the new license, but Marks assumes they will. "It was a long, drawn-out process," he admits. "The students wanted this system and I'm glad we got it. Now we don't need to hire another person to man the control center." Security guards on patrol can pinpoint which box the caU is coming from and respond. The Department of Administration (DOA) proved to be another hindrance in the installation of the call boxes. The DOA was the final body which had witheld approval, waiting until late June 1986 to allow the installation of the call boxes. The system was approved provided that the organizations involved with the pursuit of call boxes satisfied themselves with the legalities of the situation (in-- cluding changing the license). Jenny Price, interim director of student life, explained that "one of the most significant things about the call boxes is that it represents a huge triumph after a long struggle to do something for the safety of the people." ©©©©©©«©©©©©©©©©Qfrtrfr V 1 y Video Kingdom TAPE SALES & RENTAL AND COMPUTER SOFTWARE BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIALS • $1.50 for generic discs (Show Parkside I.D) • All computer software 3101-52nd Street Kenosha programs and games 12% off retail 414-654-5875 © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © WANTED: Secretary S4.00 per hour Flexible hours Must type © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © ® © ©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©©jp Apply in PSGA Office: WLLC D139A553-2244 RAMr^r, Kaplan Chancellor addresses new year's goals 4 Thursday, September 4. I9fifi Tuition from page 1 from rising, and eventually even lower it," said Adrian Serrano, PSGA president and UC vice president. Bryce Tolefree, UC president, said a grass roots effort at all the system campuses, featuring a petition drive, is one way UC plans to let the legislature know that "students are against further increases." "We want to stabilize and maintain segregated fees at campuses also," said Tolefree, which he feels will set a good example to the legislature. Tolefree encouraged students to take part in the campus efforts. He also wants students to find out about candidates running for legislative positions this fall. "Challenge them and find out how they feel about education and tuition. Show them how you feel with your vote," he said. by Gary L. Schneeberger Editor Recruitment, retention and increased respect-those are the Three R's as viewed by Sheila Kaplan, Parkside's new chancellor. "Parkside has had an instability in enrollment over the years," explained the personable, frank native of Brooklyn, New York. "We can and should accomodate more students. "Several significant things have already been done-such as the change in admission requirements, the development of the freshman seminar program and the orientation program. "Continued improvement, however, has to remain a priority for us, and I'm optimistic that these and other actions will initially stabilize and then turn around our enrollment declines." Strengthening Parkside's enrollment figures is just one of a set of goals Kaplan has set for herself since arriving from the Minnesota State University System, where she served as chief academic officer. Those goals are her response to System President Kenneth Shaw's request that all system chancellors submit written objectives to him to help the Board of Regents evaluate UW campuses. Recruitment of new and better students is part of Kaplan's plan to increase enrollment. She believes the new on-campus' student housing will allow Parkside "to recruit from a larger geographical area. It will also change us in some perceptible way; by having residential students, we'll make the university more exciting and attractive to others." Another priority is redefining the school's statement of purpose, or mission. Originally designed as a professional/technical institution, Parkside has, over the last few years, earned a reputation as a small liberal arts school. Kaplan believes it may be time to get back to the original course. "We've been criticized because the original mission of the institution never seemed to be implemented," she says. "I think we need to look at our mission and ask the question, "What should it be now?" "We want to maintain the strength we have in liberal arts and sciences," Kaplan added in partial answer to that question, "but we'd like to see some expansion in professional program areas, and maybe even the development of new kinds of professional programs." "However," she continued, "I don't think the decision should be left entirely to us. We should also invite the community to discuss what that mission should be, so that what comes out in the end is reflective of how we see ourselves as well as how our constituents see us." Becoming more actively involved with the community is another goal for Kaplan in her first year as chancellor. "I've been meeting with business and community leaders and legislators to get a better sense of what we might do to be more visible in this area," Kaplan said of community involvement. "There is a very positive image of Parkside in Kenosha and Racine, but it's also an image that is somewhat blurred. "People think well of us, but they don't know a lot about us. They think the university can help them, but they're not sure how to go about asking us for help.' of the ways Kaplan thinks Parkside can service the community is to direct its research and creative activ ity in that direction. "There are faculty members here who are already working with local businesses and industries on various projects, and we could certainly do more of that," she said. "I was recently talking with the mayor of Kenosha and he was informing me of some analytical studies he needs. There are undoubtedly some faculty here who would be interested in working on those particular projects." Addressing the concerns of minorities is another way Kaplan thinks Parkside can reach out to its surrounding community. "Given our location," she explained, "we have a special obligation to relate to the minority population. Parkside has the second highest percentage of minorities in the system, and while we have done some things in the pastsuch as the CHAMP program- -one of the things I want to do is work with the school districts to see if, together, we can put plans and programs in place that would help minority students." In^ the course of setting goals and settling into her new job, Kaplan has answered many questions from many interviewers. "Nobody's really asked me if I liked the job," she says, "but I do. I think that when a new person comes in as a college president or chancellor, the chemistry has to be right. "All of the candidates have the technical capabilities to do the job, but there has to be an affinity there for it to really work. I feel very comfortable at Parkside-I like what the university is all about." Ranger Needs Writers THE OLD BOOK CORNER 312 — 6th St. Racine Gently Used Books on all subjects.

Gary Grace stated as his primary attraction to UW-Parkside. Grace said he was also impressed with the committment to shared governance and to people that the students and faculty at Parkside demonstrated during his interviewing process. Grace felt that with Chancellor Kaplan also joining the university, that it now has a spirit aimed at the future. He is anxious to build a student life program for the future of Parkside that reflects the energy he and Chancellor Kaplan bring to their new positions. Grace, 37, joined Parkside on August 18 from Morehead State in Kentucky where he was responsible for planning and implementing a student development program in which he supervised and coordinated such areas as financial aid, student activities, counseling, career planning and student housing. Grace's own committment to shared governance comes from his belief that "all of us together are much smarter than one of us individually." He has been meeting with each of the areas that report to him to get a sense of what the plans are to improve student life in each of these areas. "One priority I have rather immediately is to stabilize the student affairs organization. Part of this is to determine what our mission is in student affairs. Service to students and recruitment and retention are key elements, Gary Grace but there is more to it than that. Part of the problem is that there are three acting directors. You will never get to addressing improving student life if the staff is not stable," said Grace. Grace wants to give the student life area some attention quickly and wants to get input from the students regarding what is important to them, what they want and what they feel they are not getting now. The areas that need permanent directors are student enrollment services, minority student services and student life. When questioned about the importance of student input on search and screem committees for student life employees, Grace stated that "the only way to be sure that the folks that you are hiring are understanding of student needs, are committed to students and have a belief in helping students is to get student reaction and input in the decision." He admitted that he may disagree with stpdents about who is the final authority on the decision because of the administrative functions required of the person hired. Recruitment and retention is a definite priority this year and Grace is working with his directors to put the campaign together. He sees the opportunity as a great challenge because so much has to be done at once. Grace felt that recruitment is much more than just talking about attending Parkside because choosing a college is an enormous decilsion. What he would like to define in the next few weeks is what the key markets are. j Men & Young Men's Shop If It's In Style, It's At Gino's Collections For Her "We build our reputation on personal service" See Kenosha's newest YOUNG MEN'S SHOP at Gino's (upper level) featuring the latest in jackets, shirts, pants and shoesVisit Connie's (next door) for the newest FALL styles for women.

"Unless student government or some other organization would decide to to have some open hearings where students could voice their opinions, the input would basically be via the structures of PSGA and PUAB," Niebuhr said. "If something else is going to happen, someone's going to have to make it happen." There is also the possibility, according to Niebuhr, that the Board or Regents will draft a system-wide proposal regarding drinking policy changes. "At this point, we aren't really sure if we'll be making a decision or if they'll be making a decision for us," he said. Faculty receive promotions The promotions of nine faculty members have been approved by the UW system Board of Regents. Promoted from associate professor with tenure to full professor are James Dean and Alan Shucard, English; Richard Keehn, economics; and Constantine Stathatos, Spanish. Promoted from assistant professor without tenure to associate professor with tenure are Siegfried Christoph, German; Thomas Fournelle and Youn Woo Lee, mathematics; Ross Gundersen, biological sciences; and Skelly Warren, dramatic arts. The promotions are based • on teaching and research excellence as well as service to the community. Deadline for student teaching applications is Sept. 15 in the Education Division office. - Wed. 9/10 & Thurs.9/11 10:30 AM-3 P M DATE Bookstore TIME PLACE • 6 Thursday, September 4, 1986 RANGER Hendricks CHAMP director named Deborah Hendricks, formerly assistant director of the Educational Opportunity Program at Marquette University, has been named the new director of Parkside's nationally recognized CHAMP program, designed to encourage and motivate junior and senior minority high school students to prepare for post-secondary education. Hendricks, 29, replaces Lois Scott, who has returned to teaching in the Racine Unified School District after directing CHAMP since 1983. Hendricks holds a master's degree in interpersonal communication with an emphasis' on administration and supervision from Marquette. She also holds a bachelor's degree in speech pathology from that institution. CHAMP, which stands for Creating Higher Aspirations and Motivations Programs, was created by Parkside in 1979. About 500 students currently are enrolled in the four-year program, which consists of students in the 9th through 12th grades who attend six-week summer sessions at Parkside. In 1983 Hendricks became assistant director of Marquette's Educational Opportunity Program, which provides information and counseling on post-secondary education to first-generation, low-income persons including minorities, the disabled, veterans and women. Prior to that Hendricks worked in the program a year as an academic, personal and career counselor, and from 1980 to 1982 was tutorial coordinator of the program. Her expertise includes extensive knowledge of resume writing and job interviewing, topics on which she Deborah Hendricks has presented seminars for state employees and for Milwaukee students. Hendricks also designed and coordinated an eightweek tutorial program Admissions Admissions from page 1 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, Math 015 and is reading at approximately a tenth grde level, that student will be admitted as a "conditional admissions" student. A conditional student requires "prescriptive advising." That is a counselor will prescribe, so to speak, the necessary courses and provide specific guidance until the conditional student has reached standard student levels. When a student is unable to meet the criteria of either the standard or conditional student, a manual decision must be made as to whether or not admission will be granted. At this point, a selected counselor will sit down and study a student's file and make the decision whether or not this student should be admitted to Parkside based on the student's academic record, students who are deferred are then advised on how to better prepare themselves for colle ge. Selected courses will be provided at Gateway Techni cal Institute in Kenosha and Racine. These courses will enable students to reach the minimal levels of achievement necessary to reapply Upon such evidence students' applications will be re-evaluated. Rubner pointed out that the new admissions policy is not designed to make it more difficult for the student. It is there to help the student. "We are urging students to slow down and better prepare themselves for college," said Rubner. Futhermore, he commented, "In the long run Parkside should see a better quality student. Initially, we may see fewer enrollments, but down the road, people will be applying to Parkside, trying to get in, because they know it has a good reputation. All the Smart Women Shop at...

Although this is the usual time and the usual place for S.O.C. to meet, changes are expected in the organization this year. "We're looking to change the format of S.O.C. to more closely resemble the general assembly of the student government," said Bill Serpe, S.O.C. chair. "The council operates as a standing committee of the P.S.G.A., but last year we became a much stronger entity. We found ourselves being sought for endorsement of P.S.G.A. resolutions and a strong forum for university inforamtion." According to Serpe representatives will be added to the council from the Ranger, Parkside Activitites Board and Peer Support. "These will not be voting seats, but rather informational opportunities and rumor control. The council is the broadest base of student opinion, and it will be to our advantage to have these extr people on board to provide needed data to keep the record straight." Serpe continued, "Too often information is given at our meetings that isn't quite correct, and it would save a lot of inconvenience for everyone if we had all the people there that we need to keep everyone abreast." Serpe has invited all the new administrative people to the first meeting. "I want as many people as possible to see who these new people are.

"Learned Ladies" will be presented in the evening on Oct. 24, 25, 31 and Nov. 1, with a matinee on Thursday, Oct. 30. The cast will consist of five men and five women. "Rehearsals are usually scheduled in the evenings, Monday through Friday," said Van Dyke, "and cast members can receive university credits for being in the show." "The Peppermint Bear Show" will be presented on Dec. 7,13,14, 20 and 21. "This is the third year that we will be doing "The Peppermint Bear' and will continue to do it every year. It is an PAB excellent opportunity for students to learn all facets of theater production," explained Van Dyke. "This show is scheduled as a four-credit production workshop and meets as a class three times a week. During that time the members of the cast will not only rehearse the show, but will also work on all of the other areas of the production." According to Van Dyke, this year's "Peppermint Bear Show" will be directed by Professor Lisa Kornetsky, who has just been added to the full-time academic staff of the Dramatic Arts Discipline. Auditions for these two shows will be held on Monday, Sept. 8 from 3:30 to 5 p.m. and at 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 8 and Tuesday, Sept. 9.

Diane Welsh, newly hired student activities program advisor (SAPA), knows that getting students involved on campus is a major part of her job. Welsh came to Parkside this August after spending eighteen months at Ball State University, where she served as acting assistant director of the student center. She earned her masters in business administration from Ball State after having received her bachelor of business administration from Whitewater in 1984. As SAPA, Welch will be busy trying to get students involved via her numerous functions. She will advise the Parkside Activities Board (PAB) and will coordinate and advise additional campus activities such as Homecoming, Winter Carnival, College Bowl, the Arts and Crafts Fair, the Very Special Arts Fair, and other related student activities. Welsh is pleased to be at Parkside. especially at this Diane Welsh time. "I think now is a good time to join the staff because of the new administration and the new housing. Now is the time for opportunity and growth," she said. Welch said she was anxious for school to begin. "I'm looking forward to working with students on campus," she said, "to see what programs will work. It's difficult to plan things when you don't know the student body." One way Welsh and the members of PAB have of finding out what the students want is through the current PAB survey. The survey, which was Welsh's idea, was designed to "assess the needs of students as they relate to PAB and PAB events and to use the results to plan activities and programs that the students want," said Welsh. In the four weeks prior to the start of school, Welsh had a chance to talk with some of the leaders of student organizations. "In talking with the students, I've fountf them to be excited about the new administration and optimistic about Parkside's future," she said. Welsh too is excited about Parkside and her role in its future. "Everyone has been real helpful in showing me what's been happening on campus," she said. Welsh's involvement in promoting student activities has a long history. For example, she served as center- /program board president her senior year at Whitewater and she was recently on the Wisconsin steering committee of the National Association of Campus Activities (NACA). Students surveyed soc Reorganization being planned The Parkside Activities Board will be distributing a survey during the beginning of fall semester. The survey is designed to determine the interests and needs of Parkside students in terms of activitites programming. The surveys will be available at various locations around campus, including the Union Information Desk. fhe PSGA office, the PAB office, the Student Activities Office, the Residence Halls and the Bookstore. They should be returned by Sept 19 to any of the above locaitons or sent, via campus mall, to the PAB office (Union D114B).

MMiM iiiii; ililif * RANGER Sandra Bernhard Thursday, September 4,1986 9 Exclusive interview with cult heroine by Jim Neibaur Entertainment Editor Since her fascinating performance in Martin Sorcese's haunting "The King of Comedy," Sandra Bernhard has been an entertainer deserving intelligent appreciation. "When you work with the best people," said the 31-year old comedienne during a recent interview, "you can't help looking good." The film, which starred Jerry Lewis and Robert DeNiro, was a triumph for Bernard, but not so much as a comedienne. The role she played so masterfully was not a comedy role, but the role of a very tragic, detached person. And it did not, as many thought, bring Bernhard further activity in "serious" comedy films. "I'm very interested in doing movies," she said, "but have you seen what's been coming out of Hollywood lately?" As with many comics whose desires are both style and substance, Bernhard has scripted her own film. Tentatively entitled "It Came From Poland," Bernhard describes the film as "a comedy with human values. I play a cynical New York writer, and there's this girl from Poland who becomes the catalyst that changes my character's beliefs and outlooks. We're looking for a director right now. I'd Ike Martin Scorcese or, perhaps, Hal Ashby." Many female entertainers have stated that women still have a difficult time obtaining decent roles in screen comedies. A classic example is Lucille Ball's magnificent comic talents being suppressed by filmmakers who continually cast her as a vapid ingenue until she began producing her own TV series and proved her comic worth. A contemporary example is Goldie Hawn, whose efforts are self-financed. Of that viewpoint, Bernhard stated, "It's a weird, mixed bag. I have mixed feelings about women; I'm not a hardcore feminist. But in Hollywood, anyone confident is deemed threatening." Until she manages to do her movie, Sandra keeps busy doing live performances and occasional television appearances (some of her appearances on "Late Night with David Letterman" have achieved legendary status). "Live comedy is a great outlet to say things about life and culture that you feel are important," she said. It takes an innate timing to perform comedy. A natural ability. Comedy is very instinctive. "I'm very happy doing what I'm doing. You learn a great deal as you go along, and I've learned a lot. And yet I realize I still have a lot more to learn. It's a thrill to have people come and see me, and acknowledgements from your peers is really an exciting thing." Bernhard's live show is a very interesting sixties-toseventies comic turn of serious statements in the eighties. She relates things as an onlooker; her perception of the surrounding vapidity. She works spontaneously with audience reaction and encourages their participation often. Once in a while she uses music (she has an LP on Polygram records that's quite a popular, unique little item) and is backed by multikeyboardist Mitch Kaplan. The nasty comic swipes she takes at pretention are perceptive in their execution. "I see myself as a 'borderline' performance artist," said Bernhard, "and my comedy is a combination of different viewpoints." l&llfc Sandra Bernhard has achieved a strong fan following. Bernhard is already a substantial entertainer and has tremendous potential to be even more as she enters different facets of show business. Remembering TV actor Knight by Jim Neibaur Entertainment Editor Actor Ted Knight's death of cancer last week brings to mind the Ted Baxter character from the early-to-mid 1970's rather than the more recent "Too Close for Comfort" or "Ted Knight Show." The Baxter character emphasized the ego and insecurities that are so often found in persons in the public eye. Baxter was in the public eye in a relatively small scale (as newscaster on a local Minneapolis television station), but he saw his position as much greater, comparing himself favorably to the likes of Cronkite or Severied. Knight's presentation of this humourous and telling character was one of the many ingredients that made "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" among the most important sitcoms of the early seventies (which was second "Golden Age of TV" boasting "The Bob Newhart Show," "All in the Family" and "Mash.")

The Honors Program. "I think if more students gram and what it is, they would become involved in it," said Rosanne Mason, a student assistant of the program. Until the Honors Program, the only way to graduate with distinction was solely based upon the students' grade point average (GPA). The Parkside Honors Program gnuuy AVAILABLE IN THE UNION $ V J WELCOME BACK STUDENTS! LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU FOR THE 1986-1987 SCHOOL YEAR "SSSSSSS" presents an alternative route to graduation with distinction to interested and qualified students. Students who have a 3.2 or higher overall GPA will qualify for graduation with distinction by completing 15 credits of honors course work with at least half of the credits outside the student's major. Any completed honors course will be marked on the students' transcripts if the grade in the specified course is a B plus or higher. Honors courses are arranged agreements between individual students and the instructors. The agreements specify certain terms which the student must fulfill in order to receive the distinction. These special terms can be anything from writing an extra term paper to interviewing actors. Besides arranging an agreement, there is another method of earning honors credit - enrolling in the Honors Seminar. The Freshmen Honors Seminar is a new honors seminar to be offered this fall. It is part of a new program of freshmen seminars. The main function of this seminar is for students to find out about college life and to make new college friends. It is taught by Professor Carol Lee Saffioti and is a three honors credit course. The Senior Honors Seminar, called "The End of Time" is the other honors seminar offered at Parkside and is also a three honors credit course. This program, however, adds a new twist by reaching out beyind the boundaries of Parkside. Professor Walt Graffin will be joining faculty from a small Lutheran coeducational liberal arts college (Carthage College) and a small Catholic liberal arts college for women (Mount Mary College). The students will experience different campus settings, use the institutions and meet with different professors. The content of the course covers literature, art, music and film with apocalyptic themes. Other activities of the Honors Society include taking field trips to plays in Chicago, operas in Milwaukee, as well as picnic get-togethers which should prove to be more exciting this year because of the new campus housing. The new honors lounge, located in Moln D113 should be a big benefit. "It's an out-of-the-way place where students can come and relax," said Beecham Robinson, director of the Honors Program, adding that the greatest advantage of enrolling in honors course work comes after graduation when job hunting. "When talking to former honors students, I found that the honors notation helps give students an edge. \RANaEE_ Movie review "Stand by Me99 by Jim Neibaur Entertainment Editor Rob Reiner's recent screen effort as writer-director, "Stand By Me," is more than simply the best project he has ever been associated with. It is, quite frankly, one of the most important and insightful American films ever made. The film is a thoughtprovoking study of pre-adolescent vulnerability, taking serious dead aim at a part of life that is often overlooked in movies. For all the films that have been done regarding the adolescence-to-adulthood transition, taking issue with the entrance into adolescence is a rather innovative screen concept. The film is set in 1959, Reiner giving the viewer a keen insight into the era with excellent period flavor (songs, settings, styles). It deals with four diverse, yet genuine, 12-year old male "types" and their quest to find the body of one of their peers, a missing lad presumed dead. Their search for this dead youth spurns the youngan emotionally stirring hit sters into analyzing their own worth. Reiner allows for the boys to emerge as serious, thinking human beings rather than vapid "gee whiz" stereotypes, eschewing American film's usual idealization of childhood. Beyond the strong script (based on a novella by Stephen King), excellent direction and production techique and emotionally powerful performances, there is the strong underlying theme of just how vulnerable childred (and childhood) is in the context of adult society. That it is set in 1959 intensifies how little things have changed in over a quarter-century. While appearing only briefly, John Cusack (star of Reiner's 1985 comedy "The Sure Thing") ties the loose ends of the various character studies together in the pivotal role as older brother to one of the youngsters, a high school football hero snuffed out in a car crash whose likeness recurs in his younger brother's fantasies. Cusack's character is the embodiment of everything these misfits would like to be, are expected to be, but cannot be. And he is the one sympathetic character toward the younger boys. That he was killed (shown with a clever Buddy Holly analogy) makes the message of youthful vulnerability even more powerful. "Stand By Me" is definitely a landmark film with regard to its subject matter. That is matter is treated with such great perception makes it an even more important > cinematic achivement. Passionately recommended. * Short by Jim Neibaur Entertainment Editor ONE CRAZY SUMMER Savage Steve Holland's latest teen comedy lives up to the wild uninhibited spirit that characterized the filmmaker's debut, "Better Off Dead." Stars John Cusack, Demi Moore and Bobcat Goldwaith cavort about a beach setting with explosive off-kilter slapstick gags that reveal a great deal of technical style. However, the substance behind the humor is what keeps "One Crazy Summer" from achieving serious pretensions. The film takes nasty comic swipes at yuppies, relatives, jocks, bigots and virtually every depiction of capitalism imaginable -all contemporary American images. Maybe that's why the critics don't like this movie. Maybe that's why I did. ARMED AND DANGEROUS "Poorly scripted and unfunny" is more apt a title for this feeble copper picture starring John Candy and Eugene Levy. Stemming somewhat from the commercial success of the "Police Academy" series, "Armed and Dangerous" recalls virtually every cliched comic-as-cop gag that has ever graced the silver screen. Some labored humor when Candy and Levy don disguises in a porno book store, but the obligatory chase scene that climaxes the film is a slick example of packaged comedy product. ALIENS Fast, furious and exciting: this scare flick is an explosive roller coaster ride of a movie that has been doing some mega-box office. But that's it! There is a lot of technical competence hopping about, but no substance whatsoever. It is yet another bluntly visceral experience that provides no genuine point for its madness (other than making some money). Sigourney Weaver does well in the lead role, and there is something positive about a woman hero in an American film, but, c'mon now, a female "Rambo" we don't need. But perhaps that's the ticket. Sylvester Stallone's ultraright-wing "Rambo" was another huge moneymaker. And that film DID have a point, a frightening and grizzly point at that. In the end it is somehow rather unsurprising that the screenwriter for "Aliens" is also the guy who co-scripted "Rambo" with Stallone. EXTREMETIES OK, so it's not a very good movie. But it does have a certain perverse importance.

(Subject to signing lease contract. First of all, it solidifies Farrah Fawcett's acting abilities as previously demonstrated by "The Burning Bed" (and suppressed by everything else she'd done). Secondly, it presents a far more feasible motivation for fighting back than anything Clint Eastwood, Chuck Norris or Charles Bronson ever appeared in. Farrah is a rape victim who gets fed up with the endless bureaucracy and decides to take matters into her own hands. That the ugliness of rape gets its just desserts is what makes this lackluster film so undeniably appealling. Perhaps had the film been scripted and directed with more depth it would have emerged as a very thought-provoking and important effort. No such luck. FILM ON CAMPUS To kick off the 86-87 school year, the PAB will be presenting "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" as its first presentation in the Union Cinema. While basically a benign and schlocky cinema mess. "Rocky Horror" does have its importance via reputation. It is the audience that is the show with most "Rocky Horror" screenings, but that doesn't make the film itself any better on its own terms. Some persons have read an actual message beneath the strident narrative of "Rocky Horror" -something about freedom of sexuality. Actually the only point this movie has is that it allows people to have a good time cutting loose BECAUSE of its ineptitude and not in spite of it. One of the greatest enigmas in film history. soc SOC from page 7 Chancellor Kaplan and Assistant Chancellor Grace are dedicating themselves to this university and I want them to have the chance to meet S:O.C. people first hand.

Shaw carefully examines all iihe most important American musical styles as created by the original black artists, including coverage of such important performers as Count Basie, Jellyroll Morton, Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Wonder. The author extends into the various sub-genres and offshoots of jazz, blues, rock and R&B (such as disco, funk, heavy metal, etc.). In the end, all American music has been carefully analyzed.

It simply states the facts: that American music, with very few exceptions, was created by black Americans. There is some discussion regarding white artists who put these musical sub-genres on the map, most notably Elvis Presley, who earned his "king of rock" monicker by introducing original black R&B compositions to white radio during the segregated fifties, thus opening the doors for such black artists as Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino. "Black Popular Music in America" is a book which forms the basis for any truly serious understanding of popular music. THE COLUMBIA COMEDY SHORTS by Ted Okuda and Ed Watz (McFarland) Okuda and Watz are two very astute writers on the cinema, so "Columbia Comedy Shorts" is as much a thorough analysis of an important aspect of the movies as it is a reference guide. Short films opened for features at movie houses of the twenties, thirties and forties, but Columbia hung on almost til 1960, long after television sounded the death knell for short subjects. The axis of this studio's shorts department were the ever-enigmatic Three Stooges, to whom ample coverage is given. But the many other important names in Columbia comedies (Charley Chase, Buster Keaton, Andy Clyde, etc.) are also covered extensively. The tome includes complete filmographies and critical studies for each series produced in the Columbia shorts department and biographical data on important producers, directors, and performers, with telling quotes interspersed throughout the text, taken from interviews conducted by the authors. The book is available from McFarland & Co. Publishers at Box 611, Jefferson, NC 28640 at 29.95 plus 1.50 shipping. It is a must for libraries and students of film. THE NINE LIVES OF MICKEY ROONEY by Arthur Marx (Stein and Day) This semi-authorized work by Arthur, "son of Groucho" Marx is a warts-and-all study of a fascinating performer. Accented is Rooney's uncanny resilience in showbiz, having reached ultimate highs and lows so often during his long, fascinating career. Along with lauding Rooney's talent and versatility, the book also makes note of his idiosyncratic behavior and several failed marriages, serving to enlighten the reader and allow a greater understanding of this actor. It is one of the most interesting of all biographies, being factual without being dry and honest without being scandalous. SAY GOODNIGHT GRACIE by Cheryl Blythe and Susan Sackett (Dutton) The George Burns-Gracie Allen story, with an emphasis on Gracie, this book affectionately traces the professional and personal development of this treasured comedy team. Burns has written several autobiographical studies, so the bio data is often a repeat of what we've already read. However, Blythe and Sackett interestingly correlate the duo's humorous on-screen activities with their deeply affectionate romance, and present another interesting facet to the story. By celebrating Burns and Allen's comic cohesion onscreen (George being the perfect sounding board for Grade's daffy malapropisms), and their romantic bliss offscreen (the marriage lasted until Gracie's death in 1964), the book allows the reader to understand George's true obsession and inspiration as an entertainer (being, of course still active today at age 90). "Say Goodnight Gracie" is an enthusiastic, uplifting showbiz story. MOVIES ON TV by Steven Scheuer (Bantam) This paperback guide to films on television, with starratings and brief critical comments on all movies available to TV, is far less worthy than Leonard Matlin's similar "TV Movies." Foreign films set Parkside's Foreign Film Series is perhaps the campus' best cultural event. This year is no exception. Several of the most important foreign films of recent years have been selected for this series, which takes place in the Union Cinema on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. As per the insert, titles for this series include Mikhalkov's "A Slave of Love," Tacchella's "Cousin Cousine" and Fellini's "Ginger and Fred." The USA is represented by a Chaplin double feature ("The Gold Rush," which is the film he wanted to be remembered by, and "City Limits," which is consideredby afficianados to be his masterpiece) and Robert Altman's "Secret Honor." Season tickets are available through the mail or can be held at the box office. Regular price is $17, while student- /senior citizen price is $15.

"Yankee Rose," the hit, contains the rudiments of everything Van Halen (and Roth) were back when they burst onto the rock and roll scene in 1978. To fill the tremendous void left by the absence of guitar whiz Eddie Van Halen, Roth Shortcuts has hired Steve Vai, whose solos often cut Edward's similar work. Billy Sheehan on bass and Gregg Bissonettte on drums help round out this powerful quartet that, like early Van Halen, depends on the uninhibited passion of Roth's vocals to motivate the tracks. Along with the aforementioned hit. Roth soars through such originals as "Elephant Gun" and "Bump and Grind," two cuts that emphaize his sexist front (as the LP's title does quite blatantly). Covers include the old Nashville Teens rocker "Tobacco Road," the bluesy "I'm Easy" (not the one from the "Nashville" movie soundtract) and "That's Life," which was a big hit for Frank Sinatra in 1966. On the latter, Roth exhibits perhaps the key to his enormous appeal. The song's lyrics are very positive, uplifting and optimistic, much like Roth's persona. Despite the setbacks he encountered during his break with Van Halen (said not to be amicable at all), Roth has bounced back (as per the song), and has achieved at least the same commercial success as his former bandmates. "Eat 'em and Simle" is far less eccentric than Roth's solo debut EP last year ("Crazy from the Heat"), and far more rocking. All of the band members turn in exceptional performances and present the listener with the type of rock and roll energy one has come to expect from the likes of this singer. When Roth was replaced by Sammy Hagar in Van Halen last year, many fans of that group feared one or the other would flounder. "5150's" success states that Edward and the boys are in no danger and that Hagar is quite comfortable in Roth's old position. "Eat 'em and Smile," however, is so much more like early Van Halen than "5150," it may very well be telling us just who was the truly creative rocker in the band. David Lee Roth. Smiths, Neil Young among new releases LITTLE MISS DANGEROUS by Ted Nugent (Atlantic) Ted Nugent's man-of-loincloth persona seems a natural for today's times, but his rocking inspiration has apparently left him. On "Little Miss Dangerous," Nugent's work is very similar to any other rock and roll band out pounding in the recording studio. The animal magnetism that characterized such classics as "Free for All" and "Cat Scratch Fever" are missing, as is the guitar wizardry of cuts like "Stranglehold." Songs like "Savage Dancer," "High Heels in Motion" and the LP's title track are pale and tedious shadows of a once glorious hard-rocking past.-Jim Neibaur DANCING ON THE EDGE by Roy Buchanan (Alligator) Blues guitarist Roy Buchanan is on par with Johnny THE FAR SIDE Winter among all white bluesmen. On his latest LP, Buchanan exhibits more versatility by presenting stirring originals like "Pedal to the Metal" and such diverse covers as Aretha Franklin's "Baby Baby Baby," Willie Dixon's "You Can't Judge a book by Its Cover," and even Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn Theme." By versatility, Buchanan is also demonstrating the resiliance of blues music. "Dancing on the Edge" is well worth picking up in lieu of virtually anything presently lurking in the Top Forty.-Jim Neibaur THE QUEEN IS DEAD by The Smiths (Warner Bros.) The Smiths have found a home in American musisc with the release of their new album. Revealing the true talent of the four young musicians from England, "The Queen Is By GARY LARSON Dead" has earned them a number one position on the college album chart and as high as number sixteen on the national. "The Queen Is Dead" is a blend of smooth, mello songs as well as many cutting numbers which contain beating drums and fine guitar work to add to their flavor. Such songs like "Cemetry Gates" and "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" add to the gripping character, while "I Know It's Over" and "Never Had No One Ever" soothe the listener's ear. Morrissey, the lead vocalist and writer, uses some literary references and focuses on life and love throughout the album's lyrics. His vocals are distinct and clear, even though some of his messagesmay be difficult to understand. Taken as a whole, "The Queen Is Dead", is an excellent album and an open door for further appreciation of The Smiths' brand of music.— Andrew Tschumper LANDING ON WATER by Neil Young (Geffen) "Landing on Water" suffers from the same fate its title implies: Young wades on sloshy ground as he tries to contemporize his sound with today's synthetic, sterile trappings. Cuts like "People on the Street" and "Weight of the World," with their empty, galumphing guitar backbeats, are passionless. Others, like "Hippie Dream," are lyrically unintelligible, making it hard to believe that this is the same Neil Young responsible for such insightful work as "Needle and the Damage Done" and "Ohio. "-Gary Schneeberger THE BRIDGE by Billy Joel (Columbia) Joel's taken a bad rap from the serious rock circuit for his bubblegum bad boy persona, and "The Bridge" won't erase that stigma. A harmless set, Joel's latest is a mite too cloying for those whose tastes run a touch more refined. "Modern Woman," for instance, relies more on the singer's cut phrasing than it does on meaty riffs or a distinctive beat. The rest of the tracks ar& of the same vein, each detailing an aspect of man-woman conflict without breaking new ground. Only "Baby Grand," a bluesy duet with a showstealing Ray Charles, is likely to satiate all appetites.-Gary Schneeberger ACROSS 1 Looks sullen 6 Redolence 11 Individual 12 Oriental salutation 14 Similar 15 Goddess of discord 17 Unit of Italian currency 18 Pigpen 20 Period of time 23 Plunge 24 Bridge term 26 Leash 28 Mr. Hirt 29 Weird 31 Locate 33 Small valley 35 Swiss canton N r» SP be 53 ft 8 GR U, I <n 36 Appalls 39 Locations 42 Exists 43 Newspaper paragraphs 45 Simple 46 Priest's vestment 48 Draw out 50 Maxim 51 Country of Asia 53 Quarry 55 Selenium symbol 56 Moved sinuously 59 Created a disturbance 61 Excavate 62 Small heating devices DOWN 1 Pounding instrument 2 Owner's risk: abbr. 3 Exploit 4 Ripped 5 Cuts 6 Steamship: abbr. 7 Mother 8 Cloth measure 9 Deposited 10 Lasso 11 Out of date 13 Shade tree 16 Drunkards 19 Playing areas 21 Baby's bed 22 Detests 25 City in Florida 27 Jewish feast 30 Raise the spirit of 32 Poker stakes 34 Ogled 36 Faces of - clocks 37 Land surrounded by water 38 Complacent 40 Wipes out 41 Stitched 44 Frighten 47 Wild hog 49 Send forth 52 Snow runner 54 Vast age 57 Spanish article 58 Deciliter: abbr. 60 Tantalum symbol u a T3 © CO '5 14 Thursday, September 4, 1988 RANGER Ranger staff Staff from page 2 who is also president of the Parkside Association of Communicators, a Campus Ambassador and a member of the tennis team.

Distributed by May Beverages, Inc. 3120 64th St. -16 Thursday, September 4,1986 Dannehl Parkside athletics outlook discussed by director by Robb Luehr Sports Editor For Parkside sports, it's just business as usual, according to Athletic Director Wayne Dannehl. "We're pretty much the same as we were," said Dannehl. "We have no new coaches or sports, but we're excited about the dorms. That's about the only thing that's happened. "We're hoping we will get a little more spirit around this place and more excitement at the athletic events as well as other events now that we have some dorms." Dannehl said there will be promotions similar to last year's. "We're running a dynamite season pass deal for men's basketball," he said. "It's only five dollars, plus there will be the chance to win a couple thousand dollars tin prizes." The half-court shot will be back, along with raffle promotions during volleyball * wrestling, men's and women's basketball and soccer. As far as the teams themselves, Dannehl promises excitement. "Our volleyball team is really, really quite Wayne Dannehl good. They would have been in the national tournament the last couple of years, but to do that, they had to beat UW-Milwaukee, and they didn't." (Milwaukee has been to the NAIA national tournament four years in a row.) "I'm looking forward to an excellent cross-country season," he said. "The women were fifth in the nation last year and everybody's back. The men should be in the top ten. And soccer is right there. If they can beat Sangamon State, they should go to nationals." Academics have always been a big part of athletics at Parkside, and last year was no exception. Parkside athletes compiled a 2.6 grade point average for the year. Of those student-athletes, 30 percent had a B average or above, and only 10 percent became ineligible due to a low GPA or too few credits earned. "We have some absolutely outstanding students and some that aren't doing so well," Dannehl said. "It pretty well followed the normal curve. Overall, the kids have been doing a good job in school and we're hoping it will continue." In comparison to the NCAA, which just instituted a minimum 2.0 GPA for entering freshmen athletes, the NAIA has always had high academic standards, according to Dannehl. "A lot of people don't understand that. The NAIA has always had higher eligibility rules and transfer rules and they still do." Considering the size and relative obscurity of Parkside, how does the athletic department continue to bring in quality student athletes? Dannehl gives the credit to his coaching staff. "Our coaches do an excellent job of convincing kids to come here and that's the name of the game. In fact, over the years, we (the athletic department) are the only ones who have actually ever brought students in here from the outside. We've done that by simply convincing them that this is the place to be. So in a recruiting sense, we're the only people who have ever recruited anybody here, and in some ways, we've been criticized for that. "Well, now I think the campus is changing their perspective. They figure if this campus is ever going to be something more than a commuter campus, they have to have something more than people from Racine and Kenosha Counties." A big concern within the last year has been drug involvement by college athletes. The University of Wisconsin implemented a drug testing plan as part of a Big 10 plan. At the present time, there is no similar plan in the Wisconsin system, according to Dannehl. "I think the whole drug thing has been blown out of proportion. People who happen to be on an athletic team represent the culture as a whole and they're no different than anybody else. Some of them take drugs and some don't, and if we have a culture which is involved in drug use, the athletes live in that culture. They get a lot of attention like in the Bias case. "I have no way of judging, but I would guess that if you take the population of Parkside as a whole and all the people who use drugs, if there are athletes involved, the number who do will reflect the entire population. "That's why pro athletes resist mandatory testing. For example, playing soccer is just a game - it's not a situation where you need somebody to save a life. Maybe we should be doing mandatory tests on doctors, ambulance drivers, lawyers, faculty members, all those kinds of things. So it's difficult to justify singling out a bunch of kids when you're talking about society as a whole." Tennis Women set for season Classified ads nt by Sherri Liaiecld The third year head coach of the women's tennis team, Wendy Miller has a positive outlook for this season, which began on August 25. The team consists only of four girls so far. Senior Kim Kranich, junior Amy Tropin and freshmen Laurie Henry and Beth Spalla. Miller is pleased with the progress of the team. She sees much improvement in the returning players and feels that the incoming freshmen have a lot of potential. "The girls work hard and put in lots of time and energy, but the main thing is to have fun." A big concern facing the team this year is the lack of players. As far as recruiting, Miller knows there are players out there, "We just have to get a hold of them. The biggest thing is more bodies." So looking ahead means a lot of hard work and dedicaiton from team members. When asked what the competition looked like this year, Miller stated, "It's tough. There are no easy opponents; all the schools have good teams." The first meet is Saturday. Sept. 6 at 9 in the Carthage Quadrangular in Kenosha.

Tony Tunks, PSGA president wants to lind out exactly bow UC intends to bandle lbe issue of fac- ulty compensation, in terms of lbe system and in terms of Parkside. . "Our faculty cerlainly deserves more than what lbey appear to be gelling and for \be most part, lbe majority of lbe mODeyour students pay into lbe system sbouId come back to Parkside to belp make us comparable to other universities. In terms of high quality faculty, we are more \ban comparable." Tunks said, "What \be governor is talking about is a $100 tuition in- crease per sIudent eacb year to fund faculty caleb-up pay. That tells me a few tbings. I tbinIt that's a very big burden for lbe sIudents to carry. Try to tbinIt in terms of how many of us are scraping \be boliom of lbe barre1 now, and it's very easy to realize that a lot of stu- dents WOD'tbe able to alford that increase and will be forced out Ibis system, or forced out altogether of going to a university.

"There are alternatives being cousidered, like moving \be money from \be UnioD budget to \be StudeDt Activi- ties budget III give Studeut Activi· ties anolber position to wort wilb. The reason I see Ibis latiDI so Jonc is because we're interested in a de- cisioD that's going to last more \ban just a year or two. It's not that we will demand that Ibis decision be put into effect for SO many years, but rather that it seems odd to tbinIt about going lbrougb all Ibis again.

Regents pass catch-up pay plan for UW-System by JeDDie TnnkIeicz Editor o After two and a half hours of tes- timony from faculty and academic stalf, and one bour of discussion, the Board of Regents Business and Finance Committee voted 11-4 to acceptlbe UW-System caleh-up pay plan last Thursdsy. The .proposal was presented to the enlire board for a vote on Fri- , day and passed 11-5. PresentiDg Parkside's SlaDCe agains1 lbe proposal were Peter Hoff, University Commillee chair- ;ran, and Stuart RubDer, Academic o taft Commillee chairman. Approx- UDately 30 people from olber UW- System campuses spoke agaInst lbe ~~r.w' Only a few were in favor The proposal allows $45 million for caleh-up salary. Faculty would recClve 15 percent of lbe caleb-up supplemen1 at MadisoD and 9 per- cent at lbe closter campuses (like parkside). Academic staff at Madi- SOnWould receive 14.2 percent and 6 PCl'cent at lbe cluster campuses. Hoff feels lbat many of lbe Re- gents bad made up lbeir minds as to how lbey would vole on lbe pro- 1lOSaI 1es ' before lbey beard Thursday's ,,~Onies. He also feels that lbe ,,,,,ents accepted lbe UW-System ProIJOSal for lack of a detailed alter- nauve. o , "The Regents weren't presented wilb a clearly laid out alternative to lbe president's proposal. A Dumber of lbe Regents seemed to be look- ing for an al1ernative, bu1 weren't shown how lbe alternatives would work. They would bave been voting for a pig in a poke," said Hoff.

In order to rebut Mr. Neibaur's Party. Mondale and those of his generation must let the next wave of Democrats into the fold. Other- wise we are going to have a lot of Republican presidents. I don·t blame Walter Mondale. He put up a good fight, and be did it with class, dignity and character. That is more than I can say for the Republicans. Fritz never let his in- evitable deleat inler/ere wilb the sincerity of his message. I don't thiDt !hat a more experienced. de- dicated or compassionate politician exists, and I was proud to wort and vote for him. The presence of a woman on the licket was also a major step, not nnly for Waller Mondale. but for the Democratic Party as well. No- body can argue tbat a woman should be elected just because sbe is a woman. but the fact remains that Geraldine Ferraro broke new ground for women in Ibis country. Her esample can forever put to rest the sexist noUon that anything that. bas substance, depth or importance can be handled only by men, Let's lust bope that ber wounds are not too deep.

This sounds a lot like the election of 1972 when George McGovern also managed to late only the District of Columbia and Massachusetts.

Academic policy changes come under fire from student groups Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document HP University of Wisconsin - Parkside Academic policy changes come under fire from student groups by Bob Kiesling News Editor Two changes in Parkside's academic policies, the addition of a "W" designation on transcripts and a change in the drop deadline, are to come before the Faculty Senate for a vote this week. Student groups and some administrators are protesting the changes because of the possible adverse effect on Parkside's quality of education, saying it discourages students from taking classes they are not sure of passing. The changes will move the drop deadline from the twelfth week to the eighth week of the semester, and a "W", showing that the student dropped the class, will be entered on a student's transcript if the class is dropped after a two week "grace period." "Everybody in the UW System seems to have a policy but us," said Donald Kummings, head of the Faculty Senate's Academic Policies Committee, speaking of the addition of the "W" designation. He said the change was designed to discourage students from "shopping around" for classes, and taking seats away from students who need the class for a major requirement. Kummings had favored a four week grace period, similar to Madisons, but said the two week deadline "found no opposition from the committee." He said the change would "identify and discourage" the students who took extra classes regularly. Stuart Rubner, Director of Community Student Services, disagreed, saying, "It's going to stop people from trying." Community Student Services is responsible for counseling non - traditional students who plan to attend Parkside. Rubner said that the change would discourage students from taking a class if there was a possibility of a change in outside factors, such as home or work. Many students get a transcript full of " W's," without taking into account the factors that caused the drop. "I think in a sense you penalize people who want to take an extra class or two," he added. "The change is supposed to force people to think about what they're taking." But, Rubner said, it is sometimes difficult to determine beforehand whether a class fulfills a specific need. "You try to make an intelligent guess of what a class is about by looking at a three or four line description," he said. Rubner did agree with the eight week drop deadline, saying, "You should know whether you're going to make it in a class after eight weeks." David Schroeder, PSGA's representative on the Academic Policies Committee, said that PSGA "is totally against both propositions." Schroeder was the only member of the Committee who voted against an eight week drop deadline because in many classes, a student doesn't know Progreba - Scoon win PSGA elections by Bob Kiesling News Editor Phil Pogreba, after a recount call by second place candidate John Monks, was elected president of Parkside Student Government Association. Pogreba got 171 votes in the election, held on Mar. 10 and 11, over 100 votes less than he got last Pogreba said that he and Scoon won because they had more combined experience in student government than any of the other candidates. "Both Mike and I out - experienced the other opponents," he said. He added that Monks had worked hard during the campaign, and that it had been reflected in the vote totals. Pogreba said that he didn't put as much effort into the campaign this year, compared to last year's election, when he got 295 votes in his campaign for president, but still lost to President Jim Kreuser. Total voting in the PSGA elections was 705, or about 12 percent of t he student population. Last year's total voting was slightly higher, with 830 ballots cast. PHIL POGREBA year, but still enough to beat Monks by a margin of 17 v otes. Pogreba's running mate, Mike Scoon, defeated his closest challenger, Marty Rheaume, 257 to 221, to become Vice President of PSGA. Pogreba and Scoon will assume office at tomorrow's PSGA Senate meeting. how they're doing until after the midterm, and by then the class cannot be dropped. 'Two weeks is not enough to decide whether you want to drop a class," he said, speaking of the grace period. Many classes meet only once a week and a student could not judge in that time whether the class was worth taking. Schroeder said that the lack of penalty for dropping a class encouraged students to take courses that might not otherwise be interested in, and that such classes could ultimately be beneficial for the student. "You're penalizing students for something that's not necessarily bad," he said.

The computer graphics system, called the PS 300, is being introduced by Evans & Sutherland, a Utah - based computer firm that selected UW-Parkside on the basis of the school's strong biomedical research and applied computer science programs. "The PS 300 system allows scientists, product developers, virtually anyone with a problem - solving task to make color line - drawings of objects that can be instantly manipulated, rotated, modified and explored in intimate detail," said Associate Professor of Chemistry Keith Ward. Ward, along with Associate Professor of Applied Computer Science Timothy Fossum, applied for the graphics system through the firm's university grant program. Ward, whose research into the structure and function of protein molecules has inspired grants from national science organizations, said the PS 300 system uses optical illusions to achieve a three - dimensional effect. "Portions of the object closer to the viewer are more brightly displayed, while portions farther away are progressively dimmer, and this creates an illusion that the object on the screen really is three - dimensional," Ward said. He said the computer graphics system consists of tw o large video display terminals (one color and one black and white), a control panel used to manipulate objects on the screen and a graphics interpreter, which is a highly specialized computer that provides the brains and power for the manipulative function. Ward said the Evans & Sutherland grant also includes a device that allows the graphics system to be hooked up with the university's central IBM computer, which will provide even more power and versatility. He said the PS 300 system is unique to institutions and industries in Wisconsin and the greater Chicago area. "We've got researchers in education, government and industrial laboratories all over this area very excited about coming in and trying the system out for themselves," Ward said. Ward said Dr. T.J. O'Donnell, a chemist in computer systems development at Abbott Laboratories in North Chicago, 111., plans to tailor his original computer graphics program to the PS 300 system. The program, called GRAMPS, is used by research scientists around the nation and permits them to "converse with computers more easily," Ward said. "It almost allows for a conversation between the human operator and the computer." Ward said that, besides being used by students and researchers, local industries will be invited to get hands - on experience with the computer graphics system and use it as a tool to determine its potential usefulness to their operations. He said the PS 300 system at UW-Parkside could be used as a resource for industry to make decisions about purchases of similar equipment. Ward said he and his UWParkside colleagues plan an "open house" to introduce the computer graphics system to people in industry, research and education as soon as the system is fully installed. "For my own purposes," said Ward, "my students and I plan to use the system to examine the structure of sickle cell hemoglobin, bioluminescent proteins, and the toxic proteins in snake venom, three areas of basic research in which I'm involved. "The advantages afforded many research areas by an advanced computer graphics system like this are almost unbelievable. Whereas it once took us days to prepare new views of our molecular models, now we can do this with just the twist of a knob. The system allows us immediately to see and understand how various structural changes might affect the function of molecules, or for that matter, depending on what your research involves, the function of automobile bodies, computer circuits, or just about anything under the sun." Measles alert ! ! ! There have been large - scale outbreaks of measles on a number of Midwestern campuses. This is a cause of particular concern to public health officials right now because so many universities have just completed spring break and students from campuses which have been measles - free may have come in contact with students from campuses where a number of students are infected. This applies not only to students who traveled to Florida or other locations during break, but also those who remained in the area and may have come in contact with students from other campuses home for the holidays. As a precautionary measure to prevent spread of m easles on this campus, the Student Health Center is asking students who have either of two sets of symptoms to call the Health Center at 553-2366. Symptom set one: Students who have a rash in conjunction with a fever of 101 degrees or higher. Symptom set two: Students with a combination of fever, head cold, and either a dry, hacking cough or eye inflammation. If you have these symptoms, please call the Student Health Center. Your cooperation can prevent the spread of m easles on this campus and in the community as well as protect your own health. Inside ... * Guest editorial * Visiting scholar * Review: Frances Thursday, March 24, 1983 Guest Editorial Responses to letters on movie AS YOU KNOW, WE NEED SOMEONE TO REPLACE ANNE BURFORD AT E.R A. XOULD YOU SPELL "MANAGE" FOR US, PLEASE? G. Helgeson Oyer the course of the past few weeks, the planned showing of the PAB sponsored film "Emmanuelle" has created a near controversy on this campus. To find out what people think about the showing of pornographic movies on campus during time that classes are scheduled, I've talked informally with students and faculty and formally with administrative people. Yes, I have a bias — I don't think showing a film of this nature 1S a good idea. I agree wholeheartedly with the views of both Donna Sahakian and Carol Frank as reflected in their letters to the Ranger. I disagree with the opinions expressed by Michael Schwartz in his letter. I also disagree with PAB, and because PAB is an arm of Student Life here at Parkside, I disagree with Student Life and finally (dare I say it?) with UW - Parkside. A few years ago, I saw a couple of X through triple X rated movies. I did not feel comfortable with the way in which the films portrayed women and men. The people in these movies did not seem real in the sense that they did not seem to see one another as human. Which brings me to my first point of disagreement: many people I h£ve talked with about the film say that pornography harms no one because it is a matter of individual choice of entertainment. It is as if these people believe that entertainment is personal and therefore affects no one else. What they ignore is the simple fact that all of our choices affect others. If we choose to attend a certain school, to vote for a certain candidate, to work at a certain job, or to buy certain products, we are making choices that affect not only our own well - being but that of others. Because we choose to be a part of the UW - Parkside community in some way, we have chosen to support this university, for example, and in a very concrete way we all ensure the continued existence of UW - Parkside and other universities similar in nature. This sense of personal responsibility is hard to stomach for some people. It involves the realization that personal liberty does not mean license to do as you will. The bottom line in this case is that by choosing to spend money and by appearing at a campus showing of "Emmanuelle" we are choosing to support not only the PAB showing of the movie on this campus, but the creation of pornography and the way pornography portrays people, mainly women, as less than fully human. Another recurring point brought up by those I talked with links this "soft porn" film with portrayals of women and men in various other media, notably television. "So what?" I've heard. "TV is just as bad." While I am glad that people can see the connection between pornography and much of television's presentation of people as sexual objects without hearts and minds, I fail to see the prevalence of our society's callousness as a reason to accept Finally, to reply to Schwartz' assertion that "to decide what is best for the majority without input from the majority is censorship," I assert in return that the number of minority interests that have been or are today disregarded as trivial or not in the interest of the majority create a majority. For example, there are many in our society who do not have access to the "good life" a few people enjoy. Yet it is the few who decide for the many. Similarly, a few people on this campus decided to show this film without consulting the larger body of students. "Censorship" is just plain misused in this context. Asserting that those who have no power are practicing censorship is ludicrous. Censorship is possible only when those in power, here some person within the Parkside administration, refuses to allow access beca use it is not in their interest to do so. A grass - roots level protest is not censorship. It is an appeal to individual conscience ; it is a demand for collective action in the true best interest of all. NO, NO, NO. "MANAGE " AS IN "PROPERLY MWAGF THE ENVIRONMENT." Think Piece Dirty Laundry by Bruce R. Preston When I left high school I left a lot of things behind me. I can even remember the day I packed my yearbooks and memorabilia into a large cardboard box and put it above the rafters in our garage (symbolic I suppose). Much to my dismay one of the things I thought I had left has come back (in full force) to destroy and disrupt. I guess it s something you never escape. What I'm referring to is dirty laundry, juicy's, hot gossip, rumors. Let me state right here and now (before I get any more accusatory letters from the east coast) that it has never been my purpose with this column to place myself above the topic under examination. One thing I hope I never stop being is human. Yet, by being human we all face certain consequences, th e ultimate being that no one is perfect; we all make mistakes. We all gossip (some more than others) and we all at one time or another fall prey to rumors (either the creation or manifestation thereof). I'm not trying to change the course of human existence with this column, I just want to share a few main points that many of us overlook when participating in gossip. We can never share the "raw" experience with someone else but we can talk (or recreate) with them about it. This is important to remember because whenever yoi talk about something you are noi merely presenting that thing tc another person you are recreating it for them. Therefore, when yoi gossip you are not talking aboul the person in question, but rather creating the person. Example time! If I tell a frienc that a girl we know spent the nighl at a guy's house and we use the words cheap or tramp to describe her, then we have created a person and a situation.

I almost feel guilty for all of the poor students who saved for weeks and weeks to travel into Florida for 50 degre e weather, and rain, and what a good friend relayed to be some of the worst weather of Florida's season thus far. Living down there would give one a better hold on what it's been like, and this friend hasn't been pleased at all this year. Which of course means that fruit prices could be up a bit this year, but we'll see. It is interesting to realize how much a party mood does in deed depend on the weather, and the weather here wasn't exactly pleasant. It was rather rainy and wet, and a bit cold. Good things did happen though, and they even happened at Parkside. On Tuesday, Parkside sponsored the Very Special Arts Festival. For those of you who have never experienced this memorable occasion, it is a festival put on here at Parkside over every spring break, designed to help young children in the areas of fine arts. The children were a riot. Some are disabled, some are not, but they are all fun, and the experiences I had made me want to do all of it over again on Wednesday. I worked with children in clay. I was an artists assistant, and found it quite interesting that um ' ma ^ na ^ ons °f these young children are somewhat fresher than even my own. They sculpted everything from E.T. characters to Easter Baskets, from sets of dice to make - a - believe chocolate chip cookies. They were all artists for a day. One little boy even to make me a pencil face they clay) started holder. The fact that some of the children were disabled didn't make a difference at all when it came to communicating. When I walked across the hall to ' painting, (which is where went after working with ^ay, they all demanded that I sit down and get something painted on my face Of course I did. It was a rainbow with a cloud and they all clapped after the clown finished the painting. Some of the university students who saw me strolling down the hall with this design painted on my face looked at me like I was crazy, others knew that I had had just as much fun as the children. When I came home with this on ™y face ' my mother asked me if I had been drinking, my father asked who I was with, and my clever brother asked me, "What's that glob on the side of your face?? Then he asked where he could have it done. I told him, 'anywhere you like." Then on Wednesday came Capsule Horses. I mean Capsule College. One of the courses offered was all about horses, and I found it quite intriguing that there were so many different classes that could be taken. I should have attended the Horse Course, but instead I attended a capsule given by a counselor and a student leader. Connie Cummings, and Pat Mulligan were the instructors for Back to school, Is it For You 9?

The festival, one of a number of similar festivals being held around the country, had the largestnumber of participants in the nation. The festival offered handicapped persons hands - on workshop experience, featuring performances and exhibits involving both the fine and performing arts. About 80 artists, performers and craftsmen from nosha ' R acine and Milwaukee areas were involved. A number of volunteers from student and community organizations assisted with the program. Festival participants came from the Racine and Kenosha Unified School Districts, Racine County Schools and adult centers in Racine and Kenosha Counties. They included mentally handicapped, hearing impaired, visually impaired, orthopedically handicapped, learning disabled, behavioral disabled and those with chronic diseases. The festival was organized by the Very Special Arts Festival Committee, an organization of area educators and other interested community residents. It is funded by businesses and service organizations in Racine and Kenosha, and by the National Committee on Arts for the Handicapped, an educational affiliate of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Co - directors of the festival were Eadie Koch of the Racine Unified School District, and Buddy Couvion of Parkside. The Festival ran on the concourse level of Parkside's academic complex. In conjunction with the festival, an art show of works by handicapped people was also on display in the Comm Arts Gallery the day of the festival. Letter Continued From Page Two Sbbw^tz included, feel degraded? Those in power are the beneficiaries of such imbalance. Pornography is made by men, for men. 5. Again, I feel the point was missed jn regard to the self - hatred women develop when they compare themselves unfavorably to women in pornographic films. Mr. Schwartz indicates that men too have these feelings of inadequacy in regard to their appearance. The difference lies, in the fact that women are socialized from birth to measure their worth in terms of physical beauty. Men do not have to "answer for" their physical "imperfections" on a day to day basis. Their identities are not dependant upon their appearance alone. Women on the other hand, are judged continuously for what they look like. After years of socialization, this is of primary concern to many women and becomes an internalized quest. I am in agreement with Mr. Schwartz that the movies shown in the Union Cinema should be representative of the majority. We differ however, in the definition of who the majority is. Mr. Schwartz seems to believe that P.A.B. is representing the majority in this case. In actuality, P.A.B. is the minority attempting to make decisions for the majority. I am not advocating censorship, nor is anyone else who opposes the movie "Emmanuel." We are challenging people to open their minds, and as Mr. Schwartz says in his letter, "look at all sides of an issue." Carol A.

AN UNUSUAL SIGHT during an otherwise quiet break, elementary students and their teachers from the Racine and Kenosha school districts crowded the halls last Tuesday (above). Below, one of the many workshops held during the Festival, a story hour. Photos b y M asood s hatiq Alumni's Phonathon nets '13,000 Over $16,000 in pledges and matching contributions was collected during the UW - Parkside Alumni Association's first annual fund - raising campaign, which ended last week. The money will go for a new merit scholarship program at UW - P and books and periodicals for the university library. More than 70 volunteers, including UW - P arkside graduates and current students, conducted a phonathon to solicit contributions, held nightly last week Sunday t h r o u g h T h u r s d a y ( M a r . 6-10 ). The phonathon garnered a total of $13,817, including $11,982 in pledges and $1,835 in matching contributions from area firms including American Motors Corp. and S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. Of 1,850 alumni contacted during the phonathon, 614, or 34%, pledged specific amounts and 206, or 15%, said they would consider contributing. Thomas Krimmel, Director of Development and Alumni Affaire at UW - P, said research shows that a 20 to 25% favorable response rate is considered good for phonathons in general. A mail campaign launched in January attracted $2,004 in contributions, and $400 in matching funds. Schon to be be Distinguished Visiting Scholar James Burke, television host and documentary writer for the British Broadcasting Corp. whose series on the history of technology, "Connections," drew widespread praise when aired in the U. S. in 1979, will be one of two Honors Program Distinguished Visiting Scholars at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside this semester. Burke will visit UW - P a r k s i d e A p r i l 4-5. That brought the total amount pledged, collected and expected in matching contributions to $16,221. Krimmel said the original goal was $8,000. "The enormously enthusiastic response by UW - Parkside alumni illustrates the high level of commitment our graduates have to their alma mater," he said. "Even in difficult economic times our graduates showed how deeply they care for UW - Parkside." Jan Oechler, a 1982 UW - Parkside graduate, attracted the most pledges during the phonathon, raising $1,010. Susan Wesley, a 1974 gr aduate, chaired the fund - raising campaign. DONALD SCHON Donald A. Schon, Ford Professor of Urban Affairs and Education at the Massachusetts Institute of Te chnology, who is an authority on creativity and technical innovation, will visit the c a m p u s M ay 2-4. The visits are being coordinated by students in UW - Parkside's Honors Program, which is directed by Professor of Communications Lee Thayer. Agendas of the visiting scholars, both of whom will meet with students as well as the general public, will be available soon. Burke, who holds bachelor's and master's degrees in English literature from Oxford University and believes each technological breakthrough is the result of a long series of seemingly unrelated discoveries, has written and hosted several TV documentaries, two of which have been broadcast nationally in the U. S., "Connections," by PBS and "The Inventing of America," by NBC in 1979. Schon is interested in the process of stimulating technical creativity and organizational learning. He holds a bachelor's degree from Yale University and master's and PhD degrees from Harvard. He has written more than 50 articles for professional and scholarly journals and is the author of fiv e books, two of which currently are available at UW - P's Campus Store.

Think P iece Continued From Page Two (nothing or everything) between the two people, by using the words we have and by giving them whatever emphasis we do, we are creating an image and that's what we talk about. Here's where so many people run into trouble. They take that image as being the thing itself. Through this process an innocent evening between two friends can become a passionate romp between a sex kitten and a stud. Whenever the image is taken as being the thing itself, detrimental consequences can arise for those holding that belief. And unfortunately these people are usually among the majority. I suppose some solace might be found in a saying we in the communication department have: Whatever Natalie tells me about John tells me more about Natalie than it does about John. What this is proposing is that the way we describe something lends insight as to what type of person we are. Applying this to our theme, we might say that whenever someone is gossiping, the potential is there for us to learn more about that person than about the gossip. It's a hell of a concept knowing that we can create people, situations, and even worlds with words. It's important to remember that this is the process we are participating in when we gossip; that we are not discussing people or what they did but we are creating people and their situations.

Enrollment is limited, and immediate response requested from those interested. by Dave Schroeder Soon the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will announce their choices for the top honors of the film industry. Everyone has their opinion of which picture or performer was their favorite, and which picture or performer the Academy will pick. I will be giving you my opinion in three sections: The Top Acting Honors, The Top Overall Picture Honors (Picture, Director, Screenplay), and the Forgotten Awards (Costume, Set, Makeup, and Other Designs). The Acting Honors are very difficult to predict this year, especially in the men's categories. So I think I will start with the Supporting category first, and rate the actors in reverse order of the strength of their performance. Leslie Ann Warren (Victor, Victoria) turned in a very fine performance, but it is not up to par with the rest of the women in this category. Teri Garr (Tootsie). I'm glad that this actress is finally getting the recognition she deserves. She was hilarious as Hoffman's acting student, friend, and sometimes lover, but her part was not as substantial as the rest in this category, and I don't think she has the political clout to get the award this time around. Glenn Close (The World According to Garp) gave a very compelling performance as Garp's mother, and I was pleasantly surprised to see her nomination considering it was her first screen role. Jessica Lange (Tootsie). Boy, has this girl come a long way. In the short time since her acting debut in King Kong (or disaster, depending on how you look at it), she has developed that certain sense of presence that I always thought some actors were just born with. Wonderful in Tootsie, and the top contender for the award because of her double nomination. Kim Stanley (Frances) was superb as Frances' obsessed mother, turning out the finest performance of the ladies in this category. My Pick — Ki m Stanley. The Academy will probably pick — Je ssica Lange Best Supporting Actor This was the hardest category to pick from, but Charles Durning (The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas) is easy to weed out when others more deserving of the nomination were looked over. John Lithgow (The World According to Garp), as the SOPHIES CHOICE watch this wonderful show Friday nights on channel ten, Saturday mornings at 9 a. m. on channel 11, Saturday afternoons on ten, and then Sunday nights at 11 p. m. on channel 11.1 know what I'm going to be doing on the weekends. Philadelphia Eagle - turned - woman, was perfect and is well deserving of this nomination, but was not good enough to win it. Robert Preston (Victor, Victoria) was hilarious as Julie Andrews' homosexual friend. The funniest man in drag of the year. (Yes, even funnier than Dustin Hoffman.) Louis Gosset, Jr. (An Officer and a Gentleman). One of the two top seeds for this award. Superior as the tough Drill Sergeant shaping his rag - tag battalion, Gosset's fine characterization made it very difficult for me to make my final choice. James Mason (The Verdict).

The film is, at times, agonizing to wateh, and in the end truly depressing. But Jessica Lange's shining performance as depression - era movie starlet Frances Farmer is well worth seeing. The film is one of the best I've seen for some time. This chronicle of Farmer's life begins with a demonstration of her intelligent and rebellious personality. In her staid home town, Farmer writes a high school essay of the death of God. Of course, this prompts a local uproar, but Frances "stands by her guns." Eventually she wins an acting competition and travels, against her mother's wishes, to the Soviet Union on an acting tour. Returning to the states, and to Hollywood', F armer is swallowed up on the repressive contract - player system so prevalent in the 1930's, where stars were "owned" by their studios and had no creative control over what roles they played, or how they would be played. Finding her parts stilted and flat, Farmer moves to New York, and Broadway. For a time she finds a satisfying life in the theater — sh e has a challenging role in a successful play, and is in love with the play's author. But when the entourage moves to London, Frances is dumped — by the troupe and her lover. Frances returns to Hollywood only to become involved in some sleazoid movie productions. She grows increasingly frustrated, and feels that she "can't escape." Her behavior becomes somewhat erratic and she begins drinking. Finally, she is arrested after assaulting a makeup assistant, and as an alternative to prison is placed in a home for the mentally ill. Eventually Frances is put in the custody of her mother, leaving her mother to decide whether she is sane or not. The problem is that Frances wants to give up her life of sta rdom and live quietly, while her mother wants to live vicariously in Frances' fame. This leads to the film's tragic end, one of the most difficult and painful film sequences I have ever watched. Jessica Lange is brilliant as. Frances Farmer. She injects the role with the same spirit and sensitivity that we sense Farmer actually had. To watch the slow destruction of this woman was heartbreaking, and more emotionally disturbing than even "Sophie's Choice." This could not have been accomplished without an extremely strong performance from Lange. Both Meryl Streep and Jessica Lange have been nominated for best actress, and although I think Streep will probably take the award, Lange is equally deserving with this fine performance. Technically, Streep's role may have been slightly more difficult (learning Polish, adopting an accent) but Lange very effectively conveys the terror of a free spirit imprisoned and crushed. This film is excellent and the kind of material that Jessica Lange deserves. Oscars Continued From Page Five Mason over Lou Gosset, Jr.? Their performances were very much at an equal level until one part of T he Verdict, where Mason revealed his genius. All at once in the final court scenes, he riveted the audience as he became rattled, which was something that the character which he portrayed does not do often. This stroke of genius is what earned him my choice over any of the others. My Pick — James Mason. The Academy's pick — Lou Gosset, Jr. Best Actress Julie Andrews (Victor, Victoria). Sorry Julie, you were very funny, but you didn't convince me you were a man as much as your Co - st ar convinced me he was a woman. Debra Winger (An Officer and a Gentleman). She surprised me as Richard Gere's love interest. A very sensitive and warm portrayal, but she won't get the award. Sissy Spacek (Missing). Riveting in her portrayal of the wife of a missing reporter in South America. A fine performance, but it was not as fine as the remaining two in this category. Besides, she just won hers a couple of years ago. Jessica Lange (Frances). A stunning performance as the tragic Frances Farmer. Through her this movie lived, and this performance is definite Oscar quality, but because of the last woman in this category's strong performance, Lange will not get it this time around. However, I do believe she will win Best Supporting Actress, not so much for her Tootsie role, but as second prize for her Frances portrayal. Meryl Streep (Sophie's Choice). WOW!! All I can say is that this is the Actress of the Eighties. As Sophie, Streep has turned in the finest screen performance in any movie of a ny actress that I have ever seen. Strong words, huh? And I mean them. This is the runaway winner for this award for this year. My Pick, AND the Academy's pick — Me ryl Streep. Best Actor Another very difficult category to assess. But, much harder to pick the Academy's choice than my own. Peter O'Toole (My Favorite Year). I know that I will get a lot of flack from certain friends of mine on this one. Peter, I think that your performance was wonderful, but not nearly as fine as the other four.

Dustin Hoffman (Tootsie). Yes, Robert Preston may have been funnier, but Dustin Hoffman made Dorothy come to life as a totally different character from Michael. This is, I feel, his best performance to date. Ben Kingsley (Gandhi). I am certain that no one else other than this man could have possibly attempted to play this peaceful warrior. And if anyone had, I would not have enjoyed the movie at all. „ Jack Lemmon (Missing). Jack once again proves he can make us really mad at the establishment as he did in The China Syndrome. A v ery powerful performance. Paul Newman (The Verdict). He has really earned this year's award for his compelling and understated performance as a down and out, alcoholic lawyer. His creation was just one notch above the rest. My Pick — Pa ul Newman. The Academy's pick — either Paul Newman or Ben Kingsley. Here are some people that were overlooked for their performances in these categories: Best Supporting Actress — Charlotte Rampling (The Verdict), Drew Barrymore (E.T.). Best Supporting Actor — Robert McNaughton (E.T.), Jack Warden (The Verdict), Sydney Pollack (Tootsie), Kevin Kline (Sophie's Choice). Best Actor — Craig Wasson (Four Friends), Henry Thomas (E.T.), Richard Gere (An Officer and a Gentleman), Peter MacNichol (Sophie's Choice), and almost the entire cast of Diner.

ON TAP AT UNION SQUARt Thursday, March 24, 1983 Men's Track Preischel gains success in walking Ktf Pi L2 _ n • His motivation for racing is having fun, and of course to be the best in the country. He added, nace walking is great, it's fun, and the competition is at a high level. I do it to see how well I can do, I don't know, just to do well and have fun." by Patricia Cumbie Parkside is well - known for its racewalking, as it has produced many world class walkers such as Jim Heiring, Ray Sharp and Tommy Edwards. Senior Will Preischel seems to be following this tradition. At Nationals recently, Will placed 6th, although much of his indoor season has been hampered by a pulled hamstring. Preischel is majoring in Electrical Engineering Technology, and may graduate this semester. Will started his race walking career when he was a senior in high school in Buffalo, N.Y. "My high school coach got me interested and told me about Parkside and the coaches here. Parkside has the best race walkers in the country, so I came here. Coach DeWitt is an excellent coach," he commented. He races for the Chicago Track Club when he is not racing for Parkside, which is usually in the summer. However, this summer he may go to a training camp in Colorado. If he doesn't go he will stay here in Wisconsin and train with DeWitt. Last summer was rather ill - fated in that he injured his ankle last May. This January he pulled a hamstring in his left knee and he wasn't in peak form, even though, he came in 6th in the USA W alk Racing Nationals in New York on March 4.

This year's show will be March 24-27 from 9-9 Thursday - Saturday and 10-5 on Sunday. Over 50 manufacturers of fine fishing tackle and sporting goods, along with several area sportsmen's clubs and groups, will have displays set up for the public. Ten seminars on different topics relating to fishing and boating will be presented over the four day show. Nationally known pro fishermen and guides including Tony Portincaso and pro muskie guide Joe Bucher will be speaking on topics of interest to all anglers. Several demonstrations and "Mini - Clinics" will be conducted throughout the duration of the show. The show is free of charge and open to the public. Fencing Nationals Sam Waller, of Kenosha, will be Parkside's entry in the 39th NCAA National Fencing Championship to be held at UW - Parkside on March 24-26. Waller, fencing the sabre, qualified March 5 at the Great Lakes meet held at the University of Detroit. This will be Sam's second time at the Nationals. There will be 36 fencers in each of the three weapons — foil, sabre and epee — representing approximately 50 teams from throughout the nation. Fencing each day starts at 9:30 a.m. and spectators are welcome. This is Parkside's third time hosting the NCAA Na tional meet. Thursday's competition will eliminate 12 men in each event, setting up 24 - man round robin matches Friday and Saturday. Opening day competition could continue until approximately 5:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday matches should run until 2 or 3 p.m. Both team and individual championships will be contested, with the top six fencers in each weapon earning All - American honors. The entire fieldhouse floor will be the site of t he action which takes place on twelve 54 - foot strips. Epee, which includes the entire body as a target, and foil, which is confined to the torso, are "thrusting" weapons and touches (points) are recorded electronically. Sabre is a thrusting or cutting weapon whose target is the upper body and relies on judges to determine successful slashes or thrusts. Coach Loran Hein, who has turned out two national champions and a World University team member in his 17 years at Parkside and the two - year UW Center in Kenosha which preceded it, tabs Wayne State as the team to beat. I got hurt. Just think what I could have done if I wasn't," Will said. Like any athlete, his racing career has had a few highs and lows. Will said, "As for low points I guess was last summer when I got hurt in May. I hurt my left ankle, I just wrecked it. The high point was being ranked 11th in "Track and Field" magazine. You know you've made it when you're in that magazine; it's THE runners magazine." Parkside being a commuter school, most of the students are from the Racine - Kenosha area, and can't figure out why anyone in their right mind would come from Buffalo to Parkside. Will's reason makes very good sense, though. "The race walking program is the best in the country. Everyone else has heard of P arkside around the country, except those people around here." Getting ready for an athletic event is an important part of competing. When asked how he handled such large national meets he replied, "I used to get nervous at all those big meets. You have to have confidence, and I just concentrate of w hat I have to do. At this last meet in New York there were thousands of people. It doesn't bother me anymore."

It's the new United States Football League (USFL). Optimism is running high among the league officials, and with good reason. They have some quality players (most of them will play for Chicago) and they have some experienced coaches. But most of all, they have financial backing, in the form of TV contracts with ABC and ESPN totaling $36 million. Not too bad, eh?? Well.... The season begins on March 6 with 5 games being played. Don't expect any one of t hese games to be very well played; after all, the teams have only been practicing for a month. In fact, the USFL has only been around officially for about 10 months. It may take a few weeks before we see some cohesive team play. Lets take a look at the teams in the new league. Head coaches' names in parenthesis: Atlantic Division — Boston Breakers (Dick Coury), New Jersey Generals (Chuck Fairbanks), Philadelphia Stars (Jim Mora), Washington Federals (Ray Jauch). Central Division — Birmingham Stallions (Rollie Dotsch), Chicago Blitz (George Allen), Michigan Panthers (Jim Stanley), Tampa Bay Bandits (Steve Spurrier). Pacific Division — Arizona Wranglers (Doug Shively); Denver Gold (Red Miller); Los Angeles Express (Hugh Campbell), Oakland Invaders (John Ralston). As you look at the list of coaches, there are a few familiar names, but what about the rest? A couple are former Canadian Football League head coaches, a couple are former college assistant coaches, and the rest are former NFL assistants. Now for the players. The people who run this league have pulled off something that they weren't expected to. They were able to get some name players to sign with them. Among the notables are Stan White, former linebacker with, most recently, the Detroit Lions; Virgil Livers, former corner back with the Bears; and Mike Rae, former back - up to Kenny Stabler at Oakland with the Raiders. The surprising turn was the ability to sign many quality college draft choices, such as Tim Wrightman and Tim Spencer from Ohio State, David Greenwood CLASSIFIEDS ARCHAEOLOGY/TRAVEL: Excavate a biblical site, 6 credits, 1983 Summer Session.

RANGER STAFF: Be prepared for one of the funnest issues of the years; April 1. A PARKSIDE PLAYER aims for two. from Wisconsin, and Herschel Walker. It is my belief that, despite the fact that practice time has been short, and despite the fact that most of the coaches are going to have rough going during the season, this league will survive this year and will be around for at least a few years to come. The league's big advantage is playing in the spring and early summer, so there is no competition from the NFL. Baseball shouldn't affect them much either, because USFL games are only on weekends and Monday nights. Besides, you have six months to see baseball. So, based on all factors, this thing called the USFL should survive (for a while). I mentioned Herschel Walker before. You would have to have jus come from a cave if you don't know what has happened in relation to Mr. Walker. Herschel Walker has become an instant millionaire. He has signed a three year, $5 million contract with the New Jersey Generals of the USFL. He will get $1 million a year for playing, and a $1.5 million signing bonus. All last week, Herschel denied that he was even talking to the Generals. The NCAA investigated reports that he had signed already and, according to his agent, he signed the contract on Feb. 17, six days before he admitted doing it. However, the first version of the contract had a 24 - hour escape clause, so he could turn down the offer. But in signing in the first place, the University of Georgia declared him ineligible to finish his college career. On Wednesday, he officially signed the pact that will probably seta new precedent for salaries in pro football. I was angered and disappointed that Herschel Walker became a professional. Because of this, he is now unable to compete in the Olympics. He probably will finish his education at Georgia, but he can't play football. I truly thought Herschel had more sense than to screw up his college football career. He was only about 850 yards short of Tony Dorsett's record for career rushing yards. Besides that, he was a certain first -round draft choice in the NFL. He would have only had to wait for one year to be rolling in the money. But as Walker said in a statement released by his agent, In denying I signed a contract (last week), I made a mistake. No one realizes more than I that I am a human being. I ask for your forgiveness." * * * Sports Shots Shots: Billy Martin is STILL with the Yankees . . .
