The other side
of
the coin ...
Professors rubbing students
the wrong way
For the two issues previous
to
this, the Counselor's Oor-
ner
has
dealt with the topic of student behaviors that are
inappropriate for the college setting and are therefore
counterproductive. There Is a fIIpslde to
this
topic: the
proverbial "other side of the coin,"
If
you will.
It
can
only be a small number of students that
has
never experienced a semester during which one professor
or another (or
all
of them) did one thing or another (or
everything) that somehow had the effect of "rubbing you
the
wrong
way.
H
Professors are, for the most part,
human; they make mistakes and have character flaws as
everyone does.
Be
that
as
It
may. many professors d1splay actions
a:n
d
attitudes
that
are,
to
varying degrees, less
than
eonduarve
to the learning environment.
The Ranger
\1&8,
for the past couple weeks, solicited re-
apon.ses from you
In
regards to professor behaviors that,
much
as
the inappropriate 'student activities of the
CowI.Ielor's Comer,
are
unfit for the college setting. The
toUowlng
are the most common responses.
• I.,ecturlng
without allowing time for questions. Not
only does
this
prevent tmportant quesllona from being an-
swered,
It
aI80
handicaps the learnlng experience for the
students.
• Assuming
what
you
know and don't know. Professors
are not mind readers.
• Talking
down
to students. I'm the professor, you're
the student; I'm the teacher, you are the learner. There
w1l1be no line crossing.
• Uncourteous behavior to students.
• Late to class or not showing up at all.
This
Is especial-
ly
lnconvenlent for students
who have
to
drive a great
dis-
tance to Parkslde.
• Exceeding the
set class time. For one
thing,
this
is
callously
unfair
to
students who may have another class
or a job to go to immediately after class.
• Not adhering to the syllabus.
• Not adhering
to
office hours.
If
a professor designates
a time when they
will
be available for students, is it not
their responsibility to maintain
this
schedule?
One obstacle to effectively communicating class
mate-
rial
to students may be that most professors are not re-
quired to
take
courses
in
teaching methods and practi-
cum.
This
Is somewhat of a irony seeing as education
majors are required
to
take
this
type of coursework.
What
this means
is
that most professors learn how
to
teach on
the job.
The process of higher education is not perfect by any
stretch
of the imagination. On the other hand, each
semester is culminated
with
most students knowing more
than they did the semester before.
It
Is
true that students and professors are on opposite
ends of the learning spectrum (students are receivers,
professors are broadcasters), but is
this
any reason at
all
for
both
types of participants
in
the arena of education not
to
attempt
to
better facilitate the learning process? These
articles are not run
to
make a mockery of
the
higher
education experience; Instead. the purpose Is to facilitate
a dlalogue on the subject of classroom communication.
People, both student and instructor, often do not see their
shortcomings. The Ranger hopes that by pub1lshlng class-
room hindrances to learning (from both sides of the podi-
um) some of these problems can be resolved.

Library hours extended for the D-f level only
photo by Dave McEvoy
Shortened library hours cause some students to be left out
in the cold
by Doug McEvoy
and Amy H. Hitter
In response to student dissatisfaction
with the Library/
Learning Center's recently
reduced hours, the D-l level,
but not the three upper levels,
will extend its hours to 11:45
p.m. Monday through Thursday
within the next few
weeks, said acting director
Linda Piele, Thursday.
The amount of money originally
saved by reducing the
hours for the summer 1987
and 1987-88 school year was
$4,355, according to figures
provided by Chuck Madsen,
budget assistant to the vice
chancellor. The library's 1987-
88 budget is $1,106,480, including
salaries, down from a
1986-87 budget of $1,118,094.
Student objections began to
arise when library hours
were cut from 7:45 a.m. to
midnight (Monday through
Thursday) during the 1986-87
school year to 7:45 a.m. to
10:30 p.m during the 1987-88
school year.
"Many people who use the
library late at night are using
it for a study hall or to use
the microcomputers," said
Piele.
"Most students use the second
and third levels to
study," objected Corby Anderson,
a microcomputer assistant.
"With so many people
working on microcomputers,
it's pretty noisy down here.
We joke that it (the D-l level)
is almost not a part of the library
anymore.
"It's better than nothing,"
he said of Piele's decision,
"but if the whole thing was
open, people could have
access to books."
Piele said that the budget
cuts have affected many
areas of the LLC. Three and
one-half full-time equivalent
library positions have been
cut, so some library employees
now have increased
duties to compensate, and
some desk personnel hours
have been cut. No Reference
Desk employees are available
on Sunday this year.
Additionally, the D-l level
doors will soon be closed permanently
to save security
costs. Some instruction has
been cut back as well.
"We've had to basically reduce
our services," she said.
"We have to look at and
prioritize our instruction." Instruction
that has been cut includes
English 100 and microcomputer
workshops.
"One thing I feel is very,
very important, and am really
trying to hang on to is instruction
(orientation) for
high school groups," said
Piele. "I hope that will not be
cut."
Last year, library hours
were: 7:45 a.m.-midnight,
Monday through Thursday;
7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Friday;
8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Saturday;
and noon-10:30 p.m. Sunday.
This year, library hours
are: 7:45 a.m.-10:30 p.m.,
(and D-l level until 11:45
p.m.) Monday through Thursday;
7:45 a.m.-4:30 p.m.,
Friday; 11 a.m.-4:30 p.m.,
Saturday; and 1 p.m.-lO p.m.,
Sunday.
Of the $4,355 saved by
reducing hours, $2,081 was
saved by the Monday-Thursday
cuts; $1,428 was saved by
the Saturday cuts; $520 was
saved by the Sunday cuts;
and $326 was saved during
summer session by closing at
9 p.m. instead of 10 p.m.
Piele said the extended D-l
hours will cost under $1,000.
She expressed concern because
the cost must be balanced
by reducing hours for
personnel who shelve books.
Piele said she is afraid this
may become inconvenient for
library patrons searching for
materials that are not
shelved as often.
"One of the problems,"
Piele recognized about the
cuts, "is that while most students
can find time to use the
library with little or no inconvenience,
it is important to
realize that there are certain
groups of students more severely
affected. Many students
have job or family obligations
that interfere with
their ability to get to the library.
Students with night
classes are often in this situation."
Students have voiced these
types of objections to the library's
cut hours.
"It's inconvenient," said
Alan Pelishek, a freshman
majoring in engineering technology.
"I like to study late.
Other college libraries close
at midnight."
Jim Neibaur, a senior
majoring in English and a
secondary education certification
candidate, also finds
the library hours inconvenient
as he gets out of class at
9:15 p.m.
"That gives me roughly one
hour to study," he said.
"That isn't nearly enough
time to finish anything. So
I'm simply going home, and
getting nothing done. If the library
was open until midnight,
I could have gotten
something accomplished."
"I think it sucks," said
Library see page 9
Regent nominee feels he's being unfairly treated
by Amy H. Ritter
News Editor
John Jarvis, Gov. Tommy
Thompson's student Regent
nominee, thinks that the UWSystem
student governments
that oppose him, including
Parkside Student Government
Association, are acting
unfairly.
"One of the main problems
I'm facing is that I really
don't think the student governments
are being fair to
me," Jarvis said in an interview
Monday.
When Jarvis appeared* before
the PSGA Senate September
18, he said that although
questions were asked,
the negative feelings PSGA
President Alex Pettit and
others were harboring were
not discussed.
Pettit joined several other
schools in opposing Jarvis'
confirmation September 21
before the State Senate
Education Committee in Milwaukee.
"I got the feeling that they
had made up their minds be-
John Jarvis
fore I got there," Jarvis said
of PSGA, "and that's unfair.
They're supposed to be representing
the students as I am,
and they're misleading people.
"Instead of really wanting
to know what I think, I've
gotten the feeling that I've
been invited to campuses to
see if they can try to find
something "to report". They
want me to say something
wrong, which I really think is
unfair.
"I just wish the student
governments would not try to
create controversy for the
sake of controversy," Jarvis
emphasized.
Jarvis also said he had
been misquoted in the Madison
newspaper, the Capital
Times, and this information
was reprinted in student
newspapers all over the state,
including the Ranger.
To clarify his stand on minority
issues, Jarvis said, "I
think that one of the major
problems facing the Regents
is minority retention, at both
the student level, and at the
administrative and faculty
levels. I think most Regents
realize that, and as a student
Regent, that would be on the
top of my priorities."
To clarify his position regarding
homosexuals being
admitted in the ROTC, he
said, "Any citizen has a right
to get in to any public institution
whatever the case may
be. I was asked if I would
recommend closing the
ROTC, (because they will not
allow gays) and I thought
that was going from one extreme
to the other. Closing
the ROTC would deny access
to even more people. There
was a resolution passed by
the Board of Regents condemning
the Army's actions
and I would have supported
that resolution."
Regarding tuition, Jarvis
said, "I would never support
tuition increases for the sake
of supporting it. At the same
time, I think you have to look
at all the circumstances facing
tuition increases. If it
came down to the quality of
education, if the funds aren't
coming from somewhere,
maybe tuition increases are
an alternative. I'm not saying
that's the only way to increase
revenue, but I was
asked the question, would you
support tuition increases?
And I said yes, if it's for the

our view
Library hours a step,
but not large enough
Although it is a step in the right direction that the library
will offer students the D-l level from 10:80 p.m. to
11:45 p.m. for studying purposes, it is not enough.
Many students who are upset by the recent reduction in
library hours need the library's vast reference section to
complete research for papers and other class assignments.
The D-l level does offer the students the opportunity
to use the microcomputers and a well-lighted studying
area; however, many students need the materials
housed on the L-l reference area in order to make use of
these other areas.
While Linda Piele, acting director of the Library/Learning
Center, recognizes that the D-l level will be needed
for studying for some students, she also states that the D-
1 level doors will be permanently locked due to a lack of
staffing in the area. How will the D-l late night studying
students be able to get to the D-l level?
One thing that makes the budgetary constraints an implausible
reason for the hour cut is that the total amount
of money saved by this measure for the school year 1987-
88 is $4,355 out of a $1,106,480 budget. That is like saving
$4 out of $1100. I t hardly seems worth the hard feelings
and bad publicity that such a cut will cause the university.
The entire issue needs to be reexamined. There must be
a more mutually beneficial way to handle the need for
students to utilize the fine reference area of the library
while containing the cost. As the semester progresses,
more students are becoming aware of the hours that have
been cut by the library, and this, unfortunately, may be
the issue that will bring the local media attention to the
campus that the public information office has been striving
for.

Student regent appointment
parking ills yield mail
To the Editor,
On Friday, September 14,
John Jarvls visited Parkside.
Mr. Jarvis is the Governor's
appointee for the student regent
seat on the Board of Regents.
At this meeting Jarvis
was available to answer student
questions regarding his
position on different issues
that affect the UW-system.
I found Mr. Jarvis to be
amiable and personable. I believe
I would be able to work
with him if he would be appointed
to this position; however,
I oppose his appointment
on three major points.
Through our meeting, it
was apparent that Mr. Jarvis
is hindered due to his lack of
involvement in student government.
His unfamiliarity
with budgetary procedures
could be a serious problem
because this is a primary
area of conflict between students
and administration.
I believe that Mr. Jarvis
would be ineffective in a leadership
position because of his
inability and unwillingness to
take a firm stand on the issue
of Segregated University Fee
Funds, which is one major
concern of the student population.
I have another problem
with his appointment in the
fact that several times he
said he would use Regent
Shaw's office as his primary
source of information. If he is
a student representative on
the Board of Regents, I would
think that he would first consider
the opinions of student
government officers and then
later consider any information
that would be offered by
Shaw's office.
The above major points of
concern should make all students
question whether Mr.
Jarvis is a wise choice for
such an important position.
He did not satisfy my perceived
image of a suitable
student regent candidate.

To the Editor
Campus and community
newspapers have, in recent
weeks, described the efforts
of the university to increase
enrollment. Additional students
will no doubt bring
additional vehicles. Unfortunately,
there are no additional
parking spaces available
for these vehicles.
When one purchases a
white parking permit, the
user should have the priviledge
of parking conveniently
near the campus buildings.
The only way anyone can
park within comfortable
walking distance of the buildings
is to arrive at school by
9:00 a.m. This is pure nonsense!

Safe sex or no sex best defense against AIDS
by Amy H. Hitter
News Editor
Suppose you're in the student
union having drinks with
an attractive member of the
opposite sex, whom you've
just met. The conversation
becomes suggestive, a little
romantic. Eventually, you
wind up at your place, in bed.
You may have just exposed
yourself to an AIDS carrier.
This scenario was presented
by Brother Benjamin
Johnson, of the Milwaukee
AIDS Project, Wednesday
(Sept. 23) during an afternoon
presentation titled "AIDS
101"
Johnson, a Capuchin monk
and licensed practical nurse,
emphasized that contrary to
popular belief, AIDS is not
limited to homosexuals,
bisexuals and intravenous
drug users.
"The virus doesn't care
who you are," he said. "The
virus doesn't discriminate."
"I think it's very important
that you be concerned about
AIDS, because I think that
every single one of you is sexually
active," he told the
audience of over 50 students
and faculty members. "Now I
know I'm being real bold
about this, but I think if
you're not sexually active,
then you're thinking about engaging
in sexual activity
very, very soon."
The AIDS virus is present
in Wisconsin, he said.
"It's here," said Johnson.
"In Kenosha County, there
are diagnosed AIDS cases."
Johnson said that of Wisconsin's
209 documented cases of
AIDS, fewer than 6 were in
Kenosha County, and 8 were
in Racine County.
Johnson explained how casual
sex can expose a heterosexual
person to an AIDS carrier.
When choosing to have
sex, he said, the partner may
not tell the individual that he
or she is a member of a high
risk group, or has had sex
with a member of a high risk
group. Or perhaps they don't
realize it.
It is estimated that 7,500
persons in the state of Wisconsin
may be carrying the
virus, and many are not
aware of it.
"I say to young women, if
you're going to be sexually
active with some young man,
you make sure he's got a condom
on." Johnson advised.
"And some men will say,
Well, I don't like to use condoms,
because it takes away
the feeling, Ladies, you know
what I tell you to tell those
suckers? If you don't wear
this condom, you ain't feeling
nothing!"
If a women becomes pregnant
and is exposed to AIDS,
Johnson said, there is a 50 to
60 percent chance the baby
will be born infected with the
AIDS virus and die within 2
years.
AIDS is transmitted by
sperm, blood, and vaginal
secretions.
"Once you are infected and
move into a diagnosis of
AIDS, you will die," Johnson
said. Research has shown
that hard-core drug users will
die within 3 months of their
diagnosis. All others will die
within 6-18 months of their
diagnosis. "There is no
cure."
The AIDS virus itself does
not kill. Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrom breaks
down the human body's defense
system and exposes its
victim to various diseases
that do kill. AIDS was discovered
in California in the 1970s
when an abnormal number of
people died of a formerly
rare type of pneumonia.
Johnson described the spectrum
of infection of the AIDS
virus. Twenty to thirty percent
of persons who are infected
with the HIV virus (the
virus that carries AIDS) will
develop AIDS and die.
Twenty-five percent of HIVinfected
persons will develop
AIDS-related complex (ARC),
which is not life-threatening,
but can just be physically debilitating.
Forty-five percent
of HIV carriers will remain a
symptomatic carriers, and
can transmit the disease to
others.
"You are at risk," Johnson
told the audience. He said the
ages of AIDS-diagnosed cases
in Wisconsin range from 18 to
75. The 18-year-old victim, he
said, possibly was exposed to
the virus when he was 16. He
was not gay-identified.
"AIDS is in our community,"
he emphasized. Because
of the dormancy period,
those AIDS carriers that
have been diagnosed could
have been transmitting the
disease without knowledge
before their diagnosis.
AIDS cannot be transmitted
through a handshake, a hug,
or by using the same telephone,
drinking glass, doorknob,
or toilet seat as an
AIDS-carrier.
Benjamin Johnson
Mosquitoes cannot transmit
it.
"It's a very fragile virus,"
said Johnson. "It doesn't live
very long outside the human
body."
Johnson offered guidelines

Union modernization plan emerging
by Kelly McKissick
News Editor
It all began over two years
ago when "a group of students
were sitting in the
Union, looked around and
decided that it needed some
work," recalled Andy Buchanan,
part of the first
group of students concerned
with the appearance of the
Union.
Out of that first informal
meeting emerged the Students
Concerned for Union
Mode rnization (SCUM). The
group's main concern was to
"fix" Union Square. They
wanted the room to have a
modern look with warmer,
brighter colors and better
lighting; to better utilize the
multi-level setup of the room,
changing booth placements,
improving the sound system
and the atmosphere of the
room; and to repair or treat
the ceiling.
They also decided, that if
possible, the Union Square
should undergo construction
to have accessibility for- the
handicapped; improved room
acoustics, a built-in technical
(lighting and sound) booth for
stage events, and redo the
doorway to the patio, including
installation of windows.
All of this in addition to the
construction involved in the
"top priority" adjustments.
Approximately one year
ago, the Parkside Union Advisory
Board (PUAB) picked
up the concerns of the students
to formally present
them to the UW System FaOuidctf

Proposed update of the Union Square
cilities Management (out of
Central Administration) and
the State Building Commission.
PUAB contracted a professional
engineering group,
The Lake Group, Inc. of Racine,
to provide estimates on
the goals of SCUM and additional
remodeling and maintenance
projects.
Bill Niebuhr, director of the
Union, said that SCUM's interest
in the Union Square led
to other realizations of needs
in the Union building. The
dining room needs to be updated,
and a removable divider
system has been suggested,
in order to give students a
greater sense of privacy during
regular hours, yet make
the room adequate for banquet
occasions when needed.
The lighting in the dining
room could also be improved,
he explained.
He continued to cite examples
of remodeling needs. The
meeting rooms and hallways
need recarpeting and repaint-
(Graphic by Kathy Harmeyer)
ing; the cinema needs a better
lighting system as it is
being used more often for
speakers and events; and the
recreation center could use
new carpeting and ceiling replacement.
This summer The Lake
Group, Inc. prepared an estimate
of total costs to do all
the requested work to the
Union building. Their total
estimated project cost was
$545,584. The estimated cost
of the Union Square renovation
and remodeling was
$178,724.
Neibuhr said of the total
project cost, "We do not have
the funding to do that -- it
just doesn't exist. We're
trying to identify things that
we need to get done right
away."
Niebuhr pointed out one significant
problem with the
project » there is approximately
$100,000 in reserve
monies to be used for the
Union building. All additional
money will have to be obtained
in some other way.
Buchanan, a former student
at Parkside, agreed with Neibuhr
in that some things need
to be done right away. The
first projects being tackled
have to do with the cosmetics
of the buildling. A requisition
has already been signed to replace
some bathroom stalls,
and a crew came out to
campus last Friday to test a
process of cleaning ceiling
tiles, thus avoiding costly replacements.
Additional projects to be
tackled first include chemically
cleaning the plumbing
lines to avoid water damage
to the building, replacement
of outdated or vandalized furniture,
replacement of carpeting
and repainting.
Niebuhr said that he hopes
to have the primary projects
either completed or precisely
planned out by the end of this
school year. His concern is
"how can we spend in such a
way so that we get the best
look of doing something new?
I want us to get the best deal
for our money."
Any money left over after
these initial projects have
been completed will be used
for all other considered projects.
Niebuhr seemed apprehensive
about using the
money for the Union Square
remodeling, because "my
personal feeling is that these
monies were put aside to do
some of these things, and legitimately
some of the things

cine and Kenoha for cooperating
to establish the MRI scanner
at Parkside. ''Racine and
Kenosha counties will be able
to maintain state-of-the-art
health care because of the
cooperation of four hospitals
in the two counties. These
hospitals are to be commended
for their commitments to
the future of sound health
care in Southeastern Wisconsin."
Edward DeMeulenaere,
president of KR Imaging,
agreed. "This cooperative
venture makes it possible for
Kenosha and Racine residents
to have access to medical
technology in the most
cost-effective manner, possible.
It is highly unlikely any
of the individual hospitals
acting alone could afford, or
justify economically, the purchase
of such equipment."
Senator Joseph Andrea (DKenosha)
hailed the new MRI
center as a commendable effort
on the part of the four
Kenosha-Racine hospitals.
Senator Andrea stated, "The
project demonstrates the
commitment of these hospitals
to bring the latest advancements
in medical technology
to the citizens of the
two counties, while at the
same time holding down
health care costs."
Only about 600 MRI units
have been installed nationally.
In the state of Wisconsin,
presently five MRI units are
in operation. Currently, patients
requireing this diagnostic
test must travel to the Milwaukee
County Medical Complex,
frequently having to
wait weeks to receive the"
diagnostic test.

A groundbreaking ceremony
was held Monday, Sept. 28
at Parkside for a free-standing
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) facility which
will be located on the
campus.
The venture is a culmination
of nearly four years of
careful planning by area hospitals
including St. Luke's
Hospital and Saint Mary's
Medical Center in Racine and
Kenosha Hospital and Medical
Center and St. Catherine's
Hospital in Kenosha, which
joined together to form a corporation
known as KR Imaging,
Inc.
The corporation's purpose N
is to collaboratively bring the
MRI technology to Racine
and Kenosha counties. In
February, 1987, the state of
Wisconsin under the Certificate
of Need Law authorized
KR Imaging to be the provider
of MRI services in the two
county area.
MRI will be used to diagnose
both inpatients and outpatients
at the Parkside facility.
This new scanner technology
utilizes magnetic
fields and radio frequency
waves to produce detailed
pictures of the structures
within the body. Its most
talked about feature is the
high quality tissue differentiation,
even when the desired
view is obscured by bone. No
radiation is used during an
examination, allowing physicians
more freedom to regularly
monitor a patient's
condition without concerns
about excessive exposure to
radiation.
"The Magnetifc Resonance
Imaging unit will put medical
care in Kenosha and Racine
on the leading edge of diagnostic
imaging," said Dr. Lee
Huberty, Kenosha radiologist.
"The MRI facility will have
immediate as well as longterm
impact on the quality of
care in our communities as
new medical and diagnostic
applications of this technology
are being identified
daily."
MRI has successfully been
used to identify disease or
tumor within the brain or
spinal cord as well as heart
and joint disease, often uncovering
a problem in its
early stages. Although MRI
provides superior quality soft
tissue pictures, it cannot
create images within the hard
part of bones. Conventional xrays,
therefore, will still be
needed to find fractures and
bone malformations.
The 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner
is expected to be operational
in early 1988 and will serve
approximately 2400 patients
per year. The total cost for
the building and equipment is
estimated at $3 million. The
effort was enhanced by the
cooperation and support of
Parkside. This included the
campus' willingness to make
available to KR Imaging an
attractive site that is convenient
and accessible to area
residents.
"The University of Wisconsin-
Parkside is delighted to
be a partner with the Kenosha
and Racine hospitals in
the enhancement of medical
services available to residents
of Southeastern Wisconsin.
The siting of this state-ofthe-
art facility at UW-Parkside
is another example of
what is possible when universities
and other institutions
pool their resources and creativity
and address community
needs," Chancellor Sheila Kaplan
said.

Homecoming features "La Fete des Fetes
by Jenny Carr
Editor
"La Fete des Fetes"--the
festival of festivals-is the
theme of this year's Homecoming
celebration. The celebration
will take place October
8-10, and it will be kicked
off by the crowning of the
Homecoming queen and king
in the Union cinema at 7 p.m.
on Thursday.
For the first time, queen
and king candidates may be
nominated from the student
body at large, as well as from
individual clubs and organizations.
Elections of the queen
and king will take place from
Monday, October 5 through
Thursday, October 8 on the
Molinaro concourse. Students
will have to show identification
and there will be a one
student-one vote policy enforced.
For the coronation ceremony,
Gary Grace, assistant
chancellor for student affairs,
will be the emcee. Following
the coronation. Grace will be
replaced by professional comedian
David Naster, who
will emcee the variety show.
Naster has appeared at the
Comedy Store and the Improv
in Los Angeles and promises
Homecoming 1987 University of Wisconsin - Parkside
to upstage the usually hilarious
Grace. Students, faculty
and staff are encouraged to
participate in the variety
show. The winning act will receive
a cash prize of $25. In
addition, all qualifying entrants
in the show will receive
a pair of tickets to Saturday
night's Mardi Gras
Casino dance.
On Friday, October 9, there
will be a party in the Union
Square. In keeping with the
New Orleans flavor of the
celebration, Cajun food will
be available. Music will be
provided from 11 a.m. to 2
p.m. by China Blue. Admission
is free.
At 1 p.m. on Friday, the
Mardi Gras games will begin.
This year's games offer excitement
for spectators as
well as participants. There
will be sack races, a tug-ofwar
(complete with mud pit),
a pyramid-buildling contest
and an intriguing game involving
a wet sweatshirt,
four-person teams and the
Phy Ed swimming pool.
Later that evening, the
Kenosha Trolley will provide
free rides through Petrifying
Springs Park. The rides will
start at the Union building
loading dock. After a ride in
the park, students will enjoy
attending the "best ever"
bonfire. The Parkside Alumni
Association is presenting this
second annual event. The
Parkside soccer team will be
introduced during this event.
The physical plant people
have promised a good sized
heap of burning material, but
students who have a paper or
book from semesters past are
welcome to bring it to roast.
No aerosol cans or chemicals
please. The bonfire will be
held outside the Union Pad.
Again, admission is free.
Friday evening's dance will
offer contemporary music
from Fun With Atoms, an upbeat,
danceable group. The
dance will be held in the
Union Square and admission
is $2 for Parkside students,
faculty, alumni and staff and
$3 for guests.
Saturday brings the annual
Faculty/Staff vs. Junior Varsity
soccer game. This promises
to be a real grudge
match. Game rules were
being passed out to the faculty/
staff team by the JV team
last week. The faculty/staff
would like to hear from anyone
who can translate Latin
as soon as possible, and hopefully
before game time. This
laughter is scheduled for high
noon on the Soccer Field and
admission is free.
After the JV's pulverize the
faculty/staff team, the varsity
soccer team will take on
Illinois Institute of Technology.
Admission for this game
is $2.50, or free with an athletic
season pass or with a
derder.
If you've never heard of a
derder, then you were not on
hand last Homecoming when
Parkside attempted to create
the World's Largest Derder
Band. A derder is that cardboard
roll over which your
toilet paper, paper toweling
or other various paper paraphernalia
is wrapped. Save
your derders; give a derder
to a friend, but don't miss out
on this chance to set a record.
During halftime, the record
will once again be attempted.
The final festivity of this
festival of festivals week is
the Mardi Gras Casino
Dance. Parkside will again
make the Main Place area of
campus a gambling casino
where blackjack, craps and
roulette will abound. Although
the stakes are fake,
the gambling is done in earnest.
While the students, alumni,
faculty, staff and their guests
are gambling away millions
of dollars, music will be
provided by the Basin Street
Saloon Band alternating with
a yet unnamed dance band.
Admission to the dance is $3.
Free appetizers will be
served.
The Homecoming celebration
for 1987 is planned with a
lot of excitement in mind.
Freshman Seminar yields valuable information
by Tyson Wilda
On Friday, September 25, a
special group of students had
a banquet. These students are
the participants in Parkside's
second Freshman Seminar
program.
The program, directed by
Professor Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz
of the Communication
department, gives incoming
freshmen a chance to become
acquainted with Parkside and
to meet other new students
through events like the banquet.
In the words of Judy
Pugh, "everyone goes
through their freshman year,
we hope that this makes it a
little easier."
The banquet is one of six
events planned for the seminar
students that is designed
to bring them into a larger
social field. Freshman Annette
Kidwell felt that these
events "let people know each
other a little better."
Although attendance was a
little lower than expected,
this should improve because
participation at the banquet
was an option. Students must
attend three of the next five
events in order to pass the
class.
Students also learn about
their fields of study in the
classes. Matt Chamberlain
enrolled because "it's the
only way I felt I could release
myself to the world of communication.
I feel that this
course will enable me to
grasp the ooportunities of a
communications career." It
seems the seminar has taught
them something.
Speakers from major organizations
addressed the students
on the importance of
being involved. SOC president
Marie Bayer advised them
that "it's best to get involved,
otherwise it won't seem like a
college life."
Also speaking was Vice
Chancellor Mary Elizabeth
Shutler, who said "you are
the kind of people who are
going to succeed in life. You
were not chosen to be in this
program, you chose to be
here, you want the best and
you deserve it."
Those students in attendance
felt that the seminars
are a worthwile experience.
"It gives us a better idea of
what college is like," explained
Blaine Schultz.
Cory Anton felt that he had
been given a chance to "establish
good student—faculty
relationships that are so important."
Most important of all, according
to Christina Radatz,
was that the banquet "has
provided an atmosphere for
students and a time and place
for us to meet everyone involved."
Grapes may be a hazard
by Steven Picazo
How many grapes have you
eaten this past year? Have
you ever considered that you
are getting more than grapes
with each mouthful? Of the 1
BILLION POUNDS of pesticides
used in the United
States each year, 79 percent
are used in agriculture.
One out of ten produce
items that have been recently
sampled were found to either
have high levels of pesticides
or traces of an illegal pesticide.
In Kern County, California,
the center of the table grape
industry, 20 bunches (approximately
10 pounds) of fresh
grapes are tested out of 443.5
million pounds produced in
one season. That ends up
being only 1 pound for every
44 million pounds produced.
The United Farm Workers
Union is coming out against
these kind of scandelous situations.
They approached the
California agribusiness to join
them in their efforts to help
educate, test, and prevent
this situation from continuing
and they were flatly refused.
Under the direction of Dr.
Marion Moses, one of the nation's
foremost experts on the
effects of pesticides, the
Union is undergoing the task
of setting up testing facilities
to more extensively check the
levels of pesticides being used
on American produce.
When these facilities are
completed they hope that
they can provide up-to-date
data on chemical contamination
of fruits and vegetables,
results of testing on environmental
samples such as
water, soil, and air, and current
data on deadly preservative
sulfites, which have been
banned by the government
but are still being used on
table grapes. From all of this
information it is hoped that
an effective network of informing
the public can be set
up so that people are aware
of the dangerous contaminates
in a lot of their fresh
produce.

University Roundtable series
Prof discusses labor/management relations
by Doug McEvoy
In the past decade, labor/
management relations have
changed drastically. These
new industrial relations were
the topic of discussion at this
week's University Roundtable
meeting on Monday. Steve
Meyer, associate professor of
history/labor studies, and
coordinator of the labor
studies program discussed
the meaning, cause, background
and effects of our na-

tion's new industrial relations.
"I think we need only to
look at the recent Patrick
Cudahy strike, the International
Paper Co. strike, and a
number of smaller strikes
around the state," explained
Meyer, "which I think reveal
a strategy, a very different
strategy from what we've
seen in recent years, to see
the new attitude towards
labor."
This attitude is that management
has become more
willing to tolerate strikes
than in the past. Because of
this, labor" has begun to realize
that one of their key
powers or safety nets has a
large hole in it and does not
carry the weight it once did.
Jack Barbash, an economist
from Madison first used
the term "new industrial
relations" as the only accurate
description of the changing
environment between
labor and management.
"I think the most indicative
or perhaps the most symbolic
of new labor relations was the
strike in 1981 by the professional
air traffic controllers,"
said Meyer. He explained
that during that strike, the
U.S. President fired and replaced
some 11,000 workers
on strike. "This shifted management
thinking to say that
if the government of the U.S.
can do it so can everyone
else."
The new way of thinking
brought on by this event
created a new, superior attitude
on the part of management
towards labor. In the
past, beginning after World
War II, there was an accordance
or harmony between
labor and management. Both
THE FAR SIDE
Steve Meyer
respected and realized the
need for the other. They were
not out to threaten the survival
of the other.
When strikes did occur, certain
rules were followed
regardless of how bitterly
issues were fought. One of
these rules was that management
and labor would eventually
come to a compromise
and jobs remained intact
until that time. Strike breakers
or "scabs" were not generally
in use and had not been
since the thirties. However,
their employment was reinstated
beginning with the air
traffic controllers strike.
According to Meyer, much
of the new attitude towards
unions is due to their tremendous
success in the past.
Management can no longer
afford to cater to the demands
of what they see as an
entirely self-interest group. In
this respect, unions are somewhat
self-destructive. They
are forcing industrial companies
to move to where labor is
cheaper. Businesses have to
move to an area where there
is not only a great deal of
competition for jobs, but also
By GARY LARSON
a lack of union activity.
Areas like Racine and
Kenosha, which have unemployment
rates nearing 20
percent, do have healthy job
competition, Meyer said. The
problem arises when one considers
that striking workers
are not often released and replaced
as it would show lack
of concern for the labor force
and be bad public relations.
The only alternatives remaining,
he said, are relocation
or meeting union demands.
The latter has proven
too costly, and relocation
would be hard on all concerned.
Management is left
with bringing in new workers
who accept what they have to
offer.
Management feels that increasing
wages and benefits,
which increases production
cost and retail cost, will remove
them from the global
and home markets. Since foreign
labor is cheaper, foreign
goods are cheaper and
American companies cannot
compete, labor costs must be
reduced.
"Management, for the first
time since the 1930's, feels
they can live without unions,"
explained Meyer. "They believe
that they can create a
union-free environment."
Use of labor consultants is
one way of achieving this, he
said. They have managed to
infiltrate the labor force and
manipulate and violate labor
laws as well as use modern
social scientific and psychological
methods to inhibit development
of unionism.
There are three main factors
that brought about the
new industrial relations. The
first of these is the recent recession
of the U.S. economy
caused largely by the oil
crisis of the 1970's. Secondly,
market instabilities have
made it difficult for companies
to know just where they
stand. Finally, along with the
new political order of Reaganomics
has come a new way
of thinking.
These three factors together
have shifted the thrust of
power from the unions to the
management.
"Another proposition of
new industrial relations is
that unions have too much
power in management affairs,"
Meyer said. "It limits
managment discretion."
One of Meyer's main points
was that workers tend to
claim their jobs are their own
property. When scabs take
their jobs they are stealing,
they say, yet the use of
strike-breakers has and will
increase. Global competition
has greatly reduced the
power of unions and will
likely continue to do so.
Unions are not the only
thing undermining industry,
Meyer said. Failure of industry
to reinvest in its plants,
and update them, also insures
decline. They can not afford
to compete with technically
and economically more modern
and advanced plants.
One of the effects of the
growth recession of the middle
class in the U.S. is a reduction
in the standard of living.
Even though employment
has increased, the jobs are
more menial and far less
stable than jobs have been in
the past.
"One of the consequences,"
explained Meyer, "is that it is
posing risks to what has been

Parkside has good student- teacher ratio
by Kelly McKissick
News Editor
According to the September
issue of "Academe" magazine,
Wisconsin schools have
the second highest studentteacher
ratios in the nation.
Not so at Parkside, said G.
Gary Grace, assistant chancellor
of student affairs.
"Academe", the journal of
the American Association of
University Professors, said
that Wisconsin's public colleges
have a 22.4 student per
teacher ratio, second only to
Washington with 23.2 students
per teacher.
Grace said, "I think that if
you lined up all of the Wisconsin
schools, you would find
that Parkside has one of the
lowest ratios." Parkside's
ratio is 18 students per teacher.
He said that the one to 18
ratio is the highest number
when the campus is broken
down into classes of upper
and lower undergraduates
and graduates. An overall
average class size is about 16
students. 98 percent of classes
have 30 students or less In
them.
The higher ratio is obtained
when lecture classes containing
80 or 90 students are averaged
in with the rest of the
classes.
"If you compare our numbers
against those of Madison,
Milwaukee or Whitewater,
it's startling what the differences
are," Grace explained.
He commented that
when the class size grows,
some of the opportunities to
express individuality can be
lost. "It's almost a lecture,
multiple choice test format.
There's not very rriuch individual
instruction or room for
creative assignments."
However, he pointed out,
some students like that kind
of environment, where they
can get "lost" in the class,
and won't have to participate
in discussions.
Grace said that the ideal
enrollment figures for Parkside
is about 6,000. This figure
will still keep the studentteacher
ratio at approximately
18 to one. He explained
that our original size
and, more recently, enrollment
declines, have led to the
lower figures than our sister
schools.
Grapes yield wrath
Grapes from page 5
It is the feeling of the Union
that the federal, state, and
local governments should be
taking more effective action
on this issue. They apparently
are not, based on the general
accounting report released
last year that concluded the
government does not test for
a large number of dangerous
pesticides, does not prevent
"contaminated food from going
to market, and does not
penalize growers who have
used illegal pesticide on their
crops.
In the mean time, 300,000
farm workers are poisoned in
the fields by pesticides every
year and deformed children,
stillborn babies, and child
cancers are turning up in all
too large amounts in regions
of heavy spraying.
Moses stated, "We can no
longer pretend that the government
will protect us. Its
system of regulation is built
on bad science, irresponsible
assumptions and deceptive
practices.
"After the testing of grapes
we will move on to deal with
the other 14 fruits and veg'etables
on the recently released
"most contaminated" list-
...those revealed in a National
Academy of Sciences report
as containing residues of 28
pesticides, which if not restricted,
will cause up to
1,460,000 cases of cancer in
the course of our children's
lifetimes.
The recent general accounting
office study reported that
44 percent of the pesticides
used in grape production can0
One conscious effort on
campus that maintains the
ratio is "the expectation that
our faculty be engaged in
scholarly activities or research.
So you're looking at
an average faculty load of
nine credit hours per semester,"
Grace stated.
"I think you can say honestly
that it is a conscious attempt
to set a priority upon
scholarly activities that contributes
to the philosophy of
the institution, 'good teaching
and good scholarships go
hand in hand.' It's an added
benefit to the campus, scholarly
activities are essential to
the teaching process," he
continued.
Mary Elizabeth Shutter,
vice chancellor, agreed that a
conscious effort was being
made to keep ratios relatively
low. "Most classes have enrollment
limits on them. We
open another section rather
than cram the classes," she
said. She added that some
classes, such as math and

English, do tend to be more
crowded than others.
Grace said that if you
asked a majority of the faculty
and students if they
thought class size affected
learning processes, you would
find that a lot of them think
that smaller class sizes aid in
participation and discussion
within the class.
"When I talk to people on
campus, I don't hear anybody
advocating that we become a
campus of 10,000. I think that
most people think that the
small ratio is an asset to our
institution." he said. "I think
that's a very positive attraction
to our campus."
Shutter said that if enrollment
did rise so much as to
jeopardize the ratio, the UW
system would deide what
would be done about it. "It all
depends on the system. If
they gave us more money, we
would hire more faculty. If
they didn't, we'd have to cap
enrollment. It's not our decision."
Grace explained that there
is a balance involved in most
campuses. We need to be
large enough to provide activities,
comprehensive programs
and resources to support
the education of the students,
but we also would like
to be small enough to feel
that there is a caring attitude
on campus, that students are
treated as individuals instead
•of numbers.
Grace pointed out that even
though many students feel we
are a small campus, when
based on a national standard
we are more in the middle
range of enrollment figures.
The majority of institutions in
the nation have less than
3,000 students.
"I think that we're at a perfect
size," he said. We're
large enough to be active
with other institutions and be
noticed, but we're not so
large that you get lost, we're
small enough so that you can
be an individual and be
known."

by Christina Lojeski
Peggy James, an instructor
of world politics at Parkside
was the speaker at a Univer- .
sity Roundtable held here
dealing with the stability of
the Nicaraguan Government
since its revolution in 1979.
James, who was in Nicaragua
last May and June and
also once in 1982, has developed
a model to determine
whether the government of a
given country is stable, or if
it is prone to failure.
The Nicaraguan Revolution,
which took place in July
of 1979, by many apparent indications
should have taken
place in 1978, said James.
It did not, James explained,
because although there were
"massive uprisings that were
national in scope," the conditions
in the country at that
time were not ideal for a
revolution.
The Sandinista government
was at that time divided into
three subgroups fighting
amongst themselves. With an
inability to have a united oppositions
front, the attempt to
overthrow the government
would be unsuccessful.
Additionally, after the editor
of the newspaper "La
Prensa," was assasinated,
the country was thrown into a
state of upheaval, and people
had become accustomed to
constant fighting. Any uprisings,
then, were crushed by
the government, and Anastasio
Somoza was able to maintain
some amount of political
stability.
Political stability, according
to James, can be defined
as "the degree of uncertainty
in the environment." The
more stability there is in an
environment, the more predictability
there is.
Peggy James
In 1978, the people of Nicaragua
had become used to unrest,
and "uprisings were
merely something in a
chasm," stated James.
By 1979, the Sandinistas
had united into one group,
and although Somoza's government
had survived the
events of 1978, it had been
weakened, making It more
susceptible to the effects of a
surprise attack.
The Sandinistas, then, in
the apparent calm of 1979,
were able to march successfully
on Managua.
As event occurences in a
country are random, it should
be noted, James stated, that
"the dynamic may reoccur,
but not the actual events. Secondly,
we must look at regime
threshold. An event can
occur that may be very unstable,
but if the regime is
strong enough to withstand it,
the same government will
continue. The threshold can
be lower or higher, and depending
upon how low or high
it is, the event occurences
can either destroy the government,
weaken it, or in some

Rising illiteracy affects corporate America
by George Koenig
Concern about the United
States' illiterate work force
has increased throughout the
nation during the past few
years. Many people are unaware
of the hazardous facts
about illiteracy in our nation,
including the possibility that
illiteracy could lead to the
downfall of corporate America.
According to a national
poll, 23 million adult Americans
are functionally illiterate,
with basic skills at the
fourth grade level. Thirteen
percent of the U.S. work force
is completely illiterate. Under
present conditions, the number
of i lliterates is growing at
a rate of 1.5 million per year,
mostly due to school dropouts.
A recent survey of employers
indicates that over 50
percent of their employees
have problems in grammar,
spelling, punctuation, and
mathematics.
Adult illiteracy costs U.S.
society an estimated $225 b illion
a year in lost industrial
productivity, unrealized tax
revenues, welfare, . crime,
poverty, and other social ills.
If we as a nation expect to
continue to rise and have a
healthy and productive economy,
we need to stamp out illiteracy-
we have to acquire
the basic skills to lead productive
and fulfulling lives,
says the Southeastern Wisconsin
Literacy Alliance.
The Alliance is part of a national
program called Project
Literacy U.S. and hopes to
improve the literacy of the
nation for living in the new
"The purpose is to
acquaint local business
people and employers with
basic skills training and
other adult education
programs which can help
them build a more skilled
work force."

age of communication and
technology.
The Alliance held an informational
meeting on Wednesday,
September 23, at Gateway
Technical College in
Kenosha. This gave the different
coalitions from Kenosha,
Racine and Walworth
counties an opportunity to
discuss future plans. The
meeting's main purpose was
to gather and disseminate information,
research the need
for services, and to confirm
previous plans of a Business
Breakfast.
During the Alliance's first
year its main goal was to
create an awareness of the
problem of illiteracy among
the business community. During
this their second year,
they are hoping to create a
link with businesses, by acquainting
business people and
employees with the Alliance's
basic skills training and other
adult education programs
that will help build a stronger
foundation for a more skilled
work force, said Ann Timm, a
member of the Alliance's
steering committee. To get
businesses involved, the Alliance
is in the process of s etting
up a business breakfast.
"The purpose is to acquaint
local business people and employers
with basic skills
training and other adult
education programs which
can help them build a more
skilled work force," said
Janet Tidwell, a community
relations coordinator for the
Southeastern Wisconsin Private
Industry Council, Racine,
and coordinator of the
breakfast.
The breakfast is planned
for October 21 at the new festival
site in Racine. Tidwell
said she is currently looking
for a prominent speaker on
the issue, as Governor
Tommy Thompson had
agreed to speak but has since
declined.
Persons interested in learning
more about the Alliance
may contact Janet Tidwell at
552-8286.
collegiate crossword Campus minister anxious to help
by Dan Chiappetta
On August 1, 1987 the Archdiocese
of Milwaukee appointed
Father Norman
Schwartz as the new campus
minister of b oth Parkside and
Carthage College.
"My responsibilities are to
give services to the student
body, meet with administrators,
faculty, and staff members.
You don't have to be
Catholic," Father Schwartz
said.
Father Schwartz is in the
process of forming and organizing
the Catholic Student
Club, where students can
work activities under Father
Schwartz's guidance. The
club is not only open to students
but also to administrators,
staff members and the
faculty. He is also available
for counseling, . and gives
speeches on issues of values
and human relations, gives
presentations in classrooms
and provides prayer services
at Carthage College in the
Siebert Chapel.
"One of my goals is to try
to get Parkside students to attends
the prayer services at
the Siebert Chapel," Father
Schwartz said.
Father Schwartz briefly
served as a member of the
faculty at St. Catherine's
High School in Racine from
1972-74. He was the instructor
in Theology and Communication.
He also spent fifteen
years in a parish.

cases, even strengthen it."
Political instability, then,
behaves dynamically, according
to James. "It can increase
or decrease throughout
any regime, and it's my
contention that it does, and it
only becomes fatal to a regime
when it actually goes
over the threshold," she said.
"To say that a government
is stable until it is overthrown,
I believe is erroneous,"
James continued. "Further,
as far as the success of
the revolution, they (the Sandinistas)
did win. They are
still in power, but to say that,
because they've been in
power since 1979, to say that
the Ortega Junta has enjoyed
complete stability, I think
would be wrong. People have
become more involved in
what's happening in Nicaragua
since 1979 and they've
certainly had their problems.
Things change., constantly -
..they may not be so detrimental
to regime as to destroy
it, but it doesn't mean
that everything is rosy just
because they've won the revolution."
James explained.
Now, James said, the daily
event pattern from 1981 to the
time of the Contras should be
analyzed.
"I think most likely, in the
short run, the Sandinistas are
going to be able to withstand
the Contra invasion., but I
think that in the long run,
that they are hurting the
threshold of the governemnt.
If something were to happen,
something catastrophic, it
may be enough, in the next
two years, to weaken the
threshold of the Sandinistas
to such an extent that something
that may not be that
catastrphic will indeed bring
it down. I think that actually
what the strategy of the Contras
is, is not necessarily to
win, it's to make the Sandinistas
lose.
''So, you have a situation
where you're economically
hurting the country in terms
of crop reduction, in terms of
people being too afraid to
plant, internationalists being
afraid to go visit because
they will be shot-as Benjamin
Linder was earlier this
year-and so therefore, you
have a revolutionary government
that came to power on
the basis of economic promises.
Ideology often helps to get
you in, but to maintain a
revolutionary government,
you have to perform economically."
James said.
She said the people of Nicaragua
are not as happy with
the Sandinistas as they were
the first time she was there.
"I saw a reduction of the
enthusiasm I saw in 1982.
Then, the people where proeverything
that was Sandinista.
In 1987, they are not exactly
negative. It is more like
acquienscence-giving up."
Under these conditions,
James concluded that the
Sandinistas are weakening
their threshold, and an event
that may not be overwhelming,
could end up being the
downfall of their government.

Motivational speaker slated
by Steven R. Picazo
Dr. Denis Waitley will be
presenting a program on selfmanagement
and positive
self-projection at Carthage
College on Oct. 7.
The program is co-sponsored
by the Kenosha Area
Chamber of Commerce-Retail
Council and the Bradford
Education/DECA program.
Tickets are $20 each and
the program begins at 7 p.m.
Waitley is in huge demand
around the country and has
had the honor of sharing the
stage with President Ronald
Reagan, Lee Iacocca, Barbara
Walters, and Norman Vincent
Peale.
Waitley has used his approach
of positive self-management
to help counsel and
treat many different people.
These include executives of
Fortune 500 companies, Super
Bowl champions, astronauts,
and returning POW's.
He was a member of the
United States Olympic Committee's
Sports Medicine
Council from 1980 through
Denis Waitley
1984. It is dedicated to performance
enhancement of our
Olympic athletes. Waitley
was also named "Outstanding
Speaker of the Year" by the
Sales and Marketing Executives
Association and placed
into the International Speakers
Hall of Fame in St. Louis.
He is a graduate of the
United States Naval Academy
at Annapolis and holds a degree
in human behavior.
Subjects that he covers on
his lecture tours include selfesteem
: positive leadership,
internal values, self-talk, risk
taking; creativity: imagineering,
left-brain, rightbrain,
and whole-brain thinking;
responsibility: making it
happen, cause and effect,
controlling your time and
life; wisdom: foresight, integrity,
aptitudes plus attitudes,
the way to make decisions;
purpose: long-range, shortrange,
daily priorities, specificity,
stair-stepping goals;
and perspective: team spirit,
fitting in while standing out,
purpose beyond self, the
whole person.
Waitley hopes that people
come away from his lectures
with an understanding that
there is no difference between
outstanding leaders and
everyone else except for the
fact that they have been able
to apply their positive self-esteem
and self-discipline in a
direction that allows them to
succeed.

Modernization plan moves forward
Union from page 3
I said we could do right away
can be done with these reserves.
"But when we start to get
into construction and remodeling
projects, that is not
what the money is there for.
Therefore new money should
be identified to do these
things."
- The SCUM committee will
be aided by Steve McLaughlin,
director of Student Life,
to look for long range goals
as to how to obtain these
additional funds. One everpresent
possibility is raising
segregated fees, but if that is
done, students will not see the
results of their labor for quite
some time.
Buchanan felt that after the
initial projects were completed,
most of the excess
money, perhaps $50,000,
should go towards the Union
Square remodeling project.
The remaining money could
then be distributed to the
other projects. He said it
should be done that way because
the Union Square is one
of the most-used facilities by
students.
The other obstacle SCUM
and PUAB have to hurdle is
the fact that the drinking law
has changed, and the time on
the grandfather clause is running
out. "Soon we will have
a campus that is largely consisted
of underage students,"
Niebuhr explained.
The remodeling of Union
Square needs to be implemented
to accomodate the
need to separate drinking and
non-drinking students, he
said. The problem may possibly
be unsolvable, stated Buchanan
as he cited unsuccessful
attempts of "island bars"
at various dances and The
End last year. The ultimate
goal is to minimize potential
liability while ke.eping the
students happy.
Overall, the initial plan of
SCUM has been added on to,
and will have to wait a while
to see its finish. Niebuhr understands
the feeling some
students may have about
their needs being lost in the
pile of "things to do" in the
Union building.
"I've been real frustrated
about the length of time it has
taken us to get to this point,
and consequently we haven't
been doing some of the things
that we normally would do
over the past two years," he
explained.
"But I'm glad that we're
finally starting and will get
some things accomplished. I
think that all of the things
that have been proposed are
valid," he said. "It just may
take a longer time to do them
than anyone wants."

"stay working at them

it's going to be kind of difficult
trying to find some new

In conclusion, Johnson said,

Students react to hours

Todd Benson, a sophomore
majoring in communication.
Benson said his classes do not
end until 9:30 p.m., not leaving
him enough time to study
afterwards, as was his practice
last year.
"If you have night classes
or are working, there isn't
enough time to use the library,"
said Lisa Minors, a
freshman psychology major.
Piele said a survey was
taken the weeks of Oct. 28,
Nov. 17, and Dec. 1, 1986 to
determine the magnitude of
library use. Every half hour
throughout the day, the
amount of material being
checked out and number of
questions asked were monitored.
At 9 p.m., 10 p.m., 11
p.m., 11:30 p.m. and midnight,
a head count on each
floor was taken.
"Anytime the library is
open, it is in use," Piele said.
"It was difficult to decide
THE FAR SIDE
where to cut hours, but common
sense tells you as the
surveys did. Late night is the
least popular time to use the
library. There is a dramatic
drop after 10 p.m.
"Many night students find
this hard to believe," she continued,
"but the library is actually
very busy in the mornings.
We have people lined up
at 7:45 to get in. People may
want to photocopy a paper before
class, or check last
minute details for an assignment,
or study for a test that
day."
"I think the library is using
the budget cuts as an excuse
not to try harder to improve,"
said Anderson, who
formerly worked in the library's
circulation department.
"There is so much invested
in the library, why cut
back the availability?
"It seems like the decisions
being made aren't saving
much money."

Spec. Services head named
by Terri DeRosier
Asst. Feature Editor
Starting today, Pam Smith
will be the new director of
Special Services.
Special Services is one of
five programs sponsored by
the U.S. Department of
Education. This particular
program is offered only to institutions
through their academic
departments, and its
focus is to retain and graduate
students that are considered
"at risk."
"First of all," Smith said,
"this program is geared toward
low income, first generation
college students and
physically handicapped students.
"First generation," Smith
explained, "are students
whose parents did not graduate
from a college. They
could have gone to college but
they could not have graduated.
"Special Services was designed
to provide academic
support," Smith said. "Therefore
the components of the
program are reading, writing,
study skills and math."
The program will be staffed
by Smith as the director.
There will also be an advisor-
/mentor, clerical support,
program assistants and student
tutors that will also work
with program participants to
provide necessary services.
"I see this as fitting into
Parkside's emphasis on retention
and graduation,"
Smith said.
"The program is not desig-
Pam Smith
nated necessarily for minority
students," Smith explained.
"It is supposed to attempt
to get from the eligible
participants, representatives
from groups which have
traditionally been under-represented.
Those three groups
are minorities, women and
physically disabled.'
There will also be 60 students
chosen from the freshman
class. A selection committee
consists of Smith; Sandra
Burmeister, Coordinator
of Academic Resource Center;
Jan Ocker, Director of
Financial Aids; and Deborah
Henricks, Director of Pre-Cob
lege Programs/Champ.
The students selected will
sign a contractual agreement
consisting of a determinations
of their personal academic
and financial needs. They will
be expected to follow a prescribed
plan of action, a program
that will enhance their
graduation probability.
Another aim of this program
is to provide exposure
to advance degree programs.
"One of the goals is to get
these students into graduate
and pre-professional programs,"
Smith said. "We'll
do this by attending college
fairs and state sponsored activities."
"Our goal is that 3% of our
graduates will go on to graduate
or pre-professional programs."
Because of the late start in
getting the program underway,
the decision was made
to get the first 60 applicants
from this year's freshman
class.
Smith said that applications
will be accepted from upperclassmen
for next year, but
as of yet no guidelines had
been set up.
Smith said she will remain
as advisor for the Black Student
Organization (BSO) until
her transition is complete.
She feels that BSO needs
stronger ties with Minority
Student Services.
"It's important that BSO be
tied to an office that can give
them assistance," Smith said.
"I feel it is incumbent upon
the students of BSO that they
assume leadership responsibility,"
Smith emphasized,
"responsibility for the student
activities and their programming.
That way the adviser
can be more effective in assisting
the organization to
achieve its goals."

"Once people realize what I

Jarvis has also faced criticism
of his student status, because
he worked as an assistant

Jarvis said he feels he is in

His experience as a Teaching

qualifies him to represent students.

If the university is successful
in its recruitment efforts, new

that you and your
staff give this issue the attention
that it deserves.
Respectfully,
Jolynn Gross,
Commuter Student
Skilled in the communication
aspect of listening, Professor
Joseph Gemin, Parkside's
newest communication
instructor, didn't take too
long to figure out that "Sup?"
means "What's up?"
In 1983, Gemin came to the
United States from Wales,
where he was raised and received
his early education.
Up until six weeks ago, he
pursued his graduate studies
while teaching at Southern Illinois
University in the field
of organizational communication.
Fortunately for the Parkside's
communication department,
Gemin chose to be a
part of its faculty because of
its unique program in critical
studies of organizations and
communication theory.
Gemin went on to emphasize
that in the field of communication
"you won't find a program
like Parkside's anywhere
in the States." Most
programs, according to
Gemin, concentrate on mainstream
communication. He
believes the program here is
Communication professor Joesph Gemin
unique because it concencultures
of Britain
trates on critical studies of
communication which is unheard
of at most universities.
Gemin's emphasis is on organizations-
what they are,
what they do, and how they
operate. In his dissertation,
he proposed to redefine organizations
and their function
in our life.
Although his studies are extremely
interesting and valuable,
he has encountered
many differences between the
and the
United States, especially on
the interpersonal level. The
transition to a different culture
has been both a frustrating
and humorcus experience
for the new communication
professor.
One of the main problems
Gemin found was the difference
in the senses of humor
between Europeans and
Americans. Stressing that
this is not a criticism, Gemin
observed that Americans
seem to take themselves very
seriously and issues and
events less seriously. In Europe,
for example, issues are
important, but a person's ego
is not too significant. "I think
people get very defensive in
this country when they think
you're making fun of them
without looking at the context
in which the poking fun is
being made," he said. "Often
it's meant to say, 'hey, you're
my friend and I feel comfortable
with you, so I can say
this about you." This mixed
interpretation of humor has
not been a major dilemma for
Gemin.
One principal aspect of
American culture Gemin is
thrilled about is our greetings
to one another. He enjoys th<
"hello's" of passersby an<
the "how are you's" of ac
quaintanees, friends and stu
dents. He emphasized his ap
proval of the warm feelinj
Americans show by acknow]
edging the presence of an
other as a human being
Gemin feels it's really nice t
say and hear "hi" or "excus
me. ' Britain, he says coul
use more of this America'
friendliness and hospitality.
Although the everyday mis
interpretations and ways o
being and thinking in a differ
ent culture than Gemin's owi
have been and continue to bi
challenge, he has obvioush
made a positive adjustment.

BREAKING THE
SILENCE
by Heathen (Combat)
Attention, rivet heads,
there is a band on the block
that is going to rock you to
like an avalanche. Heathen's
debut release "Breaking the
Silence" is a scorcher!
Heathen are a little hard to
place in the* metal spectrum
(a sure sign that this band is
on to something), but if they
have to be given a classification
it would probably be
somewhere between Queensryehe
(the first E.P.) and
Metallica. In other words,
they have a great deal of
technical competence as well
as the ability to mosh hard.
Produced by guitar great
Ronnie Montrose, (who shows
no signs of mellowing with
age), the album has a burning
upfront guitar mix over a
tight and driving low end.
The only place where Heathen
has some maturing to do
is in the lyrical department
(let's face it, fellows, the
doom and gloom school is
overcrowded), but this is
easily overlooked when you
have tracks as strong as "Set
Me Free" and "Death by
Hanging."
So find your nearest wall,
crank up listening apparatus
and bash along with one of
metal's most promising
bands, Heathen.

TRUE(NORTH)STRONG
AND FREE
by D.O.A. (Profile)
Hardcore punk with an aggressive
sense of humor permeates
this exhilarating release
from Canada's D.O.A.
"Nasty Training Camp" is
perhaps the most typical as
well as the most pulsating
track on the album, while
their cover of fellow Canadians'
Bachman Turner Overdrive's
"Taking Care of Business"
is redefined from the
perspective of the unemployed
rather than the selfemployed.
For listeners who enjoy
stepping far outside the mainstream
of things, D.O.A. is
adept at the punk sensibilities
and melodic structure without
stumbling into offensive territory.
Their stance does not
come against all that exists
(eschewing any philosophies
that everything sucks), while
their music is at once aggressive
if a bit lacking in diversity.
This album is best described
as alternative rock
and roll that does not become
at all wimpy or mellow. Recommended!

HAGAR
by Sammy Hagar (Warner
Bros.)
Both as a soloist and as the
major force behind Van
Halen's new sound, Sammy
Hagar has established himself
as a true American rockand-
roller.
His latest release, a selftitled
album produced by
Eddie Van Halen, picks up
where Sammy's solo career
left off.
The LP's single, "Give to
Live," is atypical of the rocker's
usual style. The balladlike
melody and meaningful
lyrics make it likeable for
even the mellow music enthusiasts,
while Sammy's raspy
vocals and biting guitar licks
keep the rockers happy.
Another unique track is
"Standin' at the Same Ol'
Crossroads," in which the
only instrumental backup to
the vocals is a guitar playing
a series of randomly selected
chords and notes.
As for the rest of the
tracks, Sammy's style of old
dominates. If "I Can't Drive
55" could make it to the top
of the charts, it's obvious that
Hagar's standard lack of
deep meaningful lyrics
doesn't hinder the success of
his songs. The main point of
this music is to promote a
good time, and this album
does just that.

BRIGHTER THAN A
THOUSAND SUNS
by Killing Joke (Virgin)
Killing Joke is by far one of
the better groups to emerge
out of the wreckage left by
the punk movement, combining
biting lyrics with devastating
musical arrangements
to create such underground
classics as "Complications"
and "Eighties."
However, their approach
has somewhat changed on
this, their first American release.
The arrangements here
are more orchestral in nature
as opposed to the more simplistic
and harsh tone of their
earlier work.
The album is rather gothic
in its style, but this is not to
say that Killing Joke has lost
its street sensibilities. The
energy and punch that this
band carries is not diminished
by a more prominent
keyboard sound and few midtempo
tracks. Standout numbers
on the album are
"Chessboards," "Twilight of
the Mortal" and the final cut,
"Rubicon."
All of Killing Joke's talents
are visible on "Brighter than
a Thousand Suns,"--their wit,
their power, their depth, and
their musical prowess. If you
have yet to discover one of
Britain's finest imports this
record provides one hell of an
introduction.

MAD AT THE WORLD

Seeing the somewhat
pretentious title of this band
and LP, I expected to hear an
incoherent psycho-babble on
the social injustices of this
world. Fortunately, I got an
Short Cuts
entertaining crossbreed of
Oingo Boingo and Depeche
Mode.
This three man band has
taken the new music technology
available and used it
to create the next generation
of industrial New Wave. Vocalist
Roger Rose warbles
across this collection of dance
poetry in a soothing soprano
while computerized drums
and synthesizer pound out an
energetic background.
Mad At The World is a
band of contrast. In "No
More Innocence," they open
with an orchestral movement
that is completely forgotten
once the first drum beat of
the main song opens. They
use the unrhymed poetry and
lamentation of groups like
The Smiths or the Cure and
weave it into a funky dance
beat to produce a new style.
It may seem a bit redundant
for a band to release a
self-titled single on a selftitled
LP, but even this
works. The song "Mad At The
World" is a beat-rocker
straight from the early days
of New Wave.
Mad At The World is a
band that redefines the
cliches to create new ones.
It's simple dance music with
a complex formula.

FEARFUL SYMMETRY
by DA (Frontline)
My first impression of what
DA sounds like, is what The
Monkees would sound like
with a twist of Christianity.
I really don't know how to
classify this quartet of Christian
rockers because of their
unique sound and lyrical contents
that praise the body,
God, and nature.
Although this album was
quite painful to listen to, I did
find one track called "A Sigh
for You," that reminded me
of the song "Sleepwalk," by
Ultravox. That was impressive.
For the most part I think
that DA are concentrating too
much on their lyrics, and not
putting enough emphasis on
their melodies.

notes that seem to be at the
maximum level audible to the
human ear (unfortunately).
Halfway through side A, this
pitch becomes so annoying
that a defenseless listener
begins to wish that the microphone
would be handed to the
drummer. This in itself wouldn't
be so bad if the singer
hit notes that formed some
kind of melody instead of selecting
vocal attacks at random.
It's hard to describe individual
songs, since they all
sound the same. If the spaces
between them were removed,
the listener would be left with
one extremely long annoying
song. Maybe the spaces
should be left and the songs
removed.
In short, Esquire is a musical
project that shouldn't
have been allowed to happen.
Do yourself a favor and wait
for the best-selling book of
poetry!

CONTAGIOUS
by Y&T (Warner Brothers)
A* Yesterday and Today,
they were considered too raw.
Y&T, they mellowed a
bit too much.
And now, with a change of
attitude and record labels,
Y&T has found a niche that
rests between their early raw
sound and a more synthesized
power pop style. The results
are great.
The album's title cut is
typical of its entire structure:
fast, clean riffs backed by
strong hard rock beats. Taking
position in the nether
world of power pop, but remaining
above the true heavy
metal area, Y&T have basically
discovered where their
sound belongs.
Never successful as a
heavy metal act (the aggressive
passion just wasn't
there), Y&T instead opted for
a much lighter approach.
While already reaching that
extreme, they now have doubled
back and found . th e
sound that best suits the
band's abilities.

DISORDERLIES
The Fat Boys, an obese rap
group, have made a comedy
movie that the ads are comparing
to the Three Stooges.
Unfortunately it doesn't
even reach those minimal
standards.
"Disorderlies" has the
Boys in the title role as inept
workers of the medical profession,
something the
Stooges themselves did in
"Men in Black," Dizzy Doctors,"
and "From Nurse to
Worse." And the Boys engage
in the same sloppy slapstick
and unmotivated petty violence
to bring their point
across.
Ralph Bellamy stars as the
hapless old gentleman whom
the boys rehabilitate, while
Anthony Geary (who left TV
soap fame to achieve big
screen status) portrays the
evil nephew out to kill Bellamy
for his inheritance (has
this been done?).
Cameos by Helen Reddy
and Rick Neilson of Cheap
Trick assist in giving the film
a "Love Boat" look.
HELLRAISER
If you're looking for a
movie that uses all the tired
old boring conventions of its
genre, that is offensively sick
and violent, and that is so
predictable that you know
what is going to occur a week
in advance the "Hellraiser"
is the film for you.
The storyline is as original
as a Joe Biden speech. Husband
and second wife move
back to the suburbs after living
in the city. The wife,
frigid and bitchy, is constantly
reminded of an obsessive
affair she had with her
husband's brother (the black
sheep of the family heavily
into occult practices), who
now is brought back from his
exile in the sadist Hilton after
his brother's blood seeps
through the floor of the ominous
attic room.
One cannot forget the loving
independent daughter who
also moves in to be close to
Daddy. She at least is a
strong female character, but
if you haven't seen this before,
you have been in a coma
during the eighties.
Director and writer Clive
Barker gives us so much used
material, a foreboding heartbeat,
whispering spiritlike
voices, bizare dream sequences,
a mysterious
nomad, a talking corpse, and,
to top it off, a house that falls
apart at the end, (do you
think this clown knows who
Poe is?). Even the monsters
here look like a combination
of rejects from the bar scenes
in Star Wars and strays left
over from Aliens.
Barker presents nothing
scary, it is all triteness and
sickness (at least Wes Craven
has a sense of humor).
If you're in the mood for a
movie that not only insults
your intelligence but also
your stomach, "Hellraiser" is
for you.

Annual ski trip a real deal
by Terri DeRosier
Asst. Feature Editor
Parkside Activities Board
(PAB) is planning "Ski Week
*88" to Telluride, Colorado.
Ski Week will be held from
January 2 - 11, 1988. Tom
Yull, recreation chairman for
PAB is coordinating the trip
along with Diane Welsh, director
of student activities.
Telluride has been described
as one of the most
beautiful ski resorts in the
Rockies. Not only does Telluride
offer some of the best
skiing with three levels of ski
runs, private instructions and
NASTAR competitions, Telluride
also has ice skating,
sleigh rides and snowmobiling.
Also available are shops
and boutiques, art galleries
and lots of tantalizing restaurants.
The trip includes deluxe
motor coach transportation
from Parkside to Telluride.
Upon arrival, lodging will be
in condominiums with accommodations
for six students in
each. The condos are 300 feet
from the Coonskin Lift. They
have 3 bedrooms, kitchen, a
fireplace, an outdoor heated
pool and some of the condos
have hot tubs in them. Also
PAB member
Tom Yull
included in the price of the
trip is a five day lift ticket,
with the option to buy a sixth
day.
Yull said that this trip is
held in association with the
National Collegiate Ski Association
(NCSA). As part of
the trip, NCSA is sponsoring
two parties at night that will
have live bands, and a barbecue
on the hill.
NCSA will also sponsor two
ski races. "One will be a fun
race, where you might have
to go through the gates backwards,
do somersaults and all
kinds of crazy things," Yull
said. They will also have a
professionally run NASTAR
race.
PAB will also be offering
prizes to those students who
go on the trip. Those prizes
will be given away on the bus
on the way to Colorado.
"Last year we had 90 people,"
Yull stated, "but this
year we are only taking 47«so
students who are interested
should sign up early."
Anyone interested should
sign up in the Student Life Office
in Union 209 with Diane
Welsh. Not only are students
encouraged to go, but also
faculty and alumni.
-The cost of the trip is
$310.00 for 10 days. A deposit
of $75.00 is due October 15.
The balance of $235.00 i s due
on November 25. Included in
the price is a $25.00 refundable
deposit for the condo.
"This trip is going to be a
lot of fun," Yull said, "and
you'll lose money by not
going!"
Book Review
As Doc sees it
Social problems revisited
by Doc Mallory
"They say America is the
land of plenty,
A little have a lot, a lot don't
have any."
I remember writing this in
my social stratification class
a couple of years ago. It was
right after I read that five
percent of the population controls
most of this country's
wealth. I have never been
ashamed of being black-not
ever! In a classroom of all
whites, I get along quite fine,
but I have always hated when
people equate being black
with being poor. Am I prejudiced?
This was a question I
would always get back to because
the soul searching and
constant thinking would get
me so frustrated that it would
come to that question. Then
when I think about how the
system is trying to keep the
lower middle class and lower
classes out of college, it just
pisses me off!
Reagan doesn't know how
much he is going to mess up
my final year of college. I
mean let's look back at it. We
are able to vote at age 18;
drive at age 16; drink at age
21, but, for financial aid, we
are not looked at as independent
people unless we are 23 or
24. This makes perfect sense..
The educational grants have
been cut, but what else is
new? My money for school is
being cut, but meanwhile my
brother who is in the Air
Force is getting a raise.
Hummm, makes you think,
don't it?
We're living in a world no
one can predict, but I've noticed
that race consciousness
is becoming a must, as if it
hasn't always been! My ears
have been listening and my
eyes have been open checking
out the whole scene. This
year in Milwaukee, they are
having a trial concerning desegregation
in the suburbs.
Imagine that! A trial on

SHOOTING STARS:
HEROES AND HEROINES
OF WESTERN FILM
Edited by
Archie P. McDonald
(Indiana University Press)
While there have been
countless books on the western
film, this study is nevertheless
a very welcome and
significant contribution.
McDonald compiles a dozen
different essays on important
western players by various
writers who are particularly
well-versed and interested in
this important film genre. As
westerns are central to the
development of film, McDonald
has carefully chosen
essays which detail the western
cinema from its earliest
stars to its television inception.
Along with chapters on the
usual cowboy luminaries like
William S. Hart. John Wayne,
Gary Cooper, Randolph Scott,
and Clint Eastwood, McDonald
also offers essays on Ken
Maynard, Gene Autry, Audie
Murphy, and such interesting
related topics as "Western
Film, Ronald Reagan, and
the Western Metaphor" by
Michael E. Welsh, "Women
in Western Films: The Civilizer,
The Saloon Singer, and
Their Modern Sister" by Sandra
Kay Schakel, and "When
Television Wore Six-Guns:
Cowboy Heroes on TV" by
Gary Yoggy.
Through these essays the
reader can adequately understand
the various stages western
cinema underwent from
the silents to television. The
distinct differences between
the authentic silent features,
the Saturday Matinee "B"
Westerns, the Cold War west-,
ems of the fifties, the spa-*
ghetti westerns bf the seventies,
and the apparent demise
of the western film by the
eighties, are as diverse as the
differences between each
actor's presentation of his
ideal western character.
And within the chapters is a
wealth of information on the
essay topic as well as an
analysis on how this particular
ingredient was significant
to the genre of the western
cinema. The chapter on television,
for instance, covers
the cowboy heroics of The
Lone Ranger as well as the
superficial gimmickery and
style without-substance methods
of later shows like "The
Wild Wild West."
Attempting to unerstand
the diversity and complexities
of the western in the
American cinema according
to its more predominant
players is a fascinating concept.
Thus this collection of
essays very boldly celebrates
the genre while attempting to
understand it through the
work of its most significant
on-screen contributors.
The book is enhanced by
some 40-odd photos, annotations
at the end of each chapter,
and an appendix following
the chapter on TV westems
which lists all, of the
western and western-related
programs to hit the tube.
"Shooting Stars" is not a
heavy scholarly study of the
western any more than it is a
photo-laden coffee table book.
It is an informative, critical,
easy-to-read collection of
essays.

Football underway
by Wendy Sorenson
Intramural football finally
got underway last week after
a week of rain. LA Dream
picked up their first win over
the Party Animals by a score
of 45-0. Jeff Lemmerman led
the team in TD passes, throwing
four. Lemmerman also
scored a touchdown on a ten
yard run to open the second
half. Jack Klebesadel contributed
by running an interception
back for 30 yards for a
touchdown. LA Dream's final
^score came on the last play of
the game when Doug Londo
threw a 50 yard pass to Louie
Lewis.
Grapplers II started off
their season by chalking up a
win over the Party Animals
19-13 in a close game. Scott
Stephenson led the Grapplers
with two TD passes, the first
being a 25 yard pass to Mark
Hemauer. Party Animals answered
with a TD from Jim
Barret to brother Joe. Half
time score was 7-6 with the
Grapplers ahead. Grapplers
II added two TD's in the second
half on a Stephenson to

FRIDAY
Located on the Main Concourse in the WLLC
Ironman contest examines
strength and endurance
by Ted Price
The Parkside wrestling
team completed its fourth annual
Ironman Contest last
week. Mark Dubey, winner of
the 1985 Ironman Contest,
was the overall champion for
the second time in three
years.
The Ironman Contest, devised
by wrestling coach Jim
Koch, is an eight-event contest
designed to see which
wrestlers have spent time in
an off-season training program.
The eight events include
a 100 yard dash, a 40
yard dash, a rope climb, and
the number of sit-ups one can
do in two minutes. The
strength events are a bench
press for repetitions at each
wrestler's own body weight,
leg press for repetitions at
twice each wrestler's body
weight, and a bench press
and leg press for max which
is divided by each wrestler's
own body weight.
Dividing the bench press
and leg press for max by a
wrestler's body weight is a
way to determine a strength
equivalent between large and
small people. Obviously, a 200
lb. person should be able to
bench press more than a 150
lb. person. However, if a 150
lb. person bench presses 225
lbs. and a 200 lb. person
bench presses 250 lbs., the
smaller person has pressed
1.5 times his own weight
while the larger person has
pressed only 1.25 times his
own weight. Thus, it can be
said that, regardless of size,
the 150 lb. person is stronger
than the 200 lb. person even
though the 200 lb. person has
pressed more actual weight.
In the Ironman Contest,
points are awarded depending
on the number of people entered
in the contest. This year,
with nineteen wrestlers competing,
each first place was
worth 19 pts., second place
was worth 18 pts., etc. on
down to two pts. for eighteenth
place and one pt. for
last place.
In the eight events, two new
records were set. In the leg
press for max, Doug Parker
and Todd Stephenson each
pressed 525 lbs. Since they
each weighed 157 lbs., their
max at 3.344 times their body
weight placed them in a tie
for the new record. Arthur
Demerath set the other record
by doing 115 sit-ups in
two minutes, eclipsing his
1985 record of 106 sit-ups.
Parker also won the bench
press for max with a lift 1.847
times his own body weight,
bench pressing 290 lbs. Mark
Hemauer sprinted to a time
of 11.20 seconds to win the 100
yard dash. Nick Manriquez
won the 40 yard dash with a
time of 4.85 seconds while
Ted Price climbed the rope in
the wrestling gym in 6.28 seconds
to win that event. Tim
Whiting leg pressed twice his
body weight (305 lbs.) 156
times to win the leg press for
repetitions while Mark Dubey
won the bench press for repetitions
by bench pressing his
body weight (165 lbs.) 30
times.
Dubey also set an all-time
record for the highest percentage
of the maximum
points possible. With eight
events at nineteen points
each, the maximum number
of points possible was 152.
Dubey's 132 points meant he
scored .907 percent of the
maximum. This is roughly an
equivalent to placing third in
each event, a remarkable
feat based on the diversity of
the events.
The top ten placers for the
1987 Ironman Contest are as
follows:
CHAMPION - Mark Dubey
132 pts.
2nd place - Scott Stephenson
116 pts.
3rd place - Todd Stephenson

ior Doug Londo, despite giving
up a solo home run, also
struck out the side in giving
Parkside its fifth consecutive
victory at 12-2.
In game two it was all
Parkside. In the first inning,
Parkside sent 17 batters to
the plate, scoring 13 runs with
extra base hits by Armond
Bonofiglio, Wes Root, pitcher
Joel Bumgarner, and pitcher
Rob Peiffer, who hit a three
run home run in his first collegiate
at-bat. In the second it
was more of the same as 15

second. Ken Neese hit a
three-run shot, his second
homer of the season and
freshman Andy Hansen had a
two-run blast to go with extra
base hits by Tony Bonofiglio
and Tim Moore. While the
Ranger bats were stuck on
automatic, pitchers Steve

Lady netters sixth in Invit'l

The women's tennis team
had a relatively good showing
this past week, losing to Cornell
6-3, defeating Beloit 5-4,
while tying for sixth place in
the extremely tough Whitewater
Invitational, raising their
dual record to 5-3.
On Sept. 24 the lady
Rangers traveled to Beloit to
take on first Cornell, and then
Beloit in a three-team meet.
As it turned out, the early
start in the morning and the
long trip to Beloit didn't exactly
help the Rangers.
Head coach Wendy Miller
definitely noticed this against
Cornell. "We didn't play very
well at all. I don't know if we
were asleep or what, but we
didn't play our best," she
commented.
As it turned out, the three
winners for the netters were
Amy Tropin at number three
singles, as she won 10-8 in a
nine game pro set; Kathy
Livesey at number six, 9-3;
and Ann Althoff-Tropin at
number one doubles, 10-8.
Things definitely got better
against Beloit as the Rangers
woke up to defeat them for
the first time ever. The awakening
suited Miller just fine.
"It was like a night and day
difference between the two
matches. We played muchmore
aggressive, and I was
very pleased with the win."
Winning for the Rangers in
pro sets were Stacey Stanich
9-5; Tropin 10-9, 7-0 in the tiebreaker;
Elizabeth Spalla 9-
4; and Livesey 9-7. In doubles,
the number one team of
Althoff-Tropin were the only
winners by a 9-2 score.
The lady Rangers spent a
beautiful Sept. 26 Saturday in
Whitewater in the 12-team invitational,
and finished very
respectably.
The doubles team of Althoff-
Tropin went all the way to
the semi-finals before losing
to the number one seed from
Whitewater, 3-6, 3-6. Earlier
in the day, the duo defeated
the number three seed from
Oshkosh, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3, and a
UW-Milwaukee team, 6-1, 6-0.
Coach Miller noted that
"Ann and Amy played very
well against one of the best
doubles teams in the state. I
feel that Ann and Amy can
hold their own in the state
playoffs."
The doubles team of Stanich-
Spalla lost to Oshkosh, 6-
7, 2-6, and beat Carthage, 6-2,
6-1, before bowing to St. Norbert,
4-6, 4-6. Coach Miller
stated, "Stacey and Beth lack
experience playing together,
but are starting to get smarter
together, too."

Golfers stay consistent
by Robb Luehr
The Parkside golf team has
been a model of consistency
so far this year.
On Sunday and Monday,
Sept. 20-21, the Rangers captured
their third straight top
five finish, this time at the
Mascountin Collegiate meet
in Berlin, WI.
Parkside took fifth place in
the meet, which Oshkosh won
by one stroke over Stout, with
Stevens Point third, Eau
Claire fourth and Whitewater
sixth. Fourteen teams competed
in the meet.
Scott Schuit led the Ranger
charge with a (77-79 )-l56,
good for a top ten finish individually,
with Dave Wente
second with (79-80)-159. The
other four team members
were bunched together as two
shot 165 and two shot 166.
Scott Brandt had 84-81, Jeff
Lewis has 87-78, Steve Gerber
had 84-82 and Steve Jerrick
has 86-80.
Team scores were Oshkosh
781, Stout 782, Stevens Point
792, Eau Claire 802, Parkside
808, Whitewater 812.
Dan Thomas (75-75) and
Craig Geerts (75-75) of Oshkosh
and Jason Zahradka (76-
74) of Stevens Point shared
medalist honors with 150
totals.

After a convincing 3-1 victory
at Lawrence University on
Wednesday, Sept. 23, the
Parkside soccer team traveled
to UW-Green Bay on
Sunday, Sept. 27, and dropped
a heartbreaker 4-2.
The Rangers powered their
way to a 3-1 win over Lawrence
to improve their record
to 8-1. They were led by Brian
O'Malley. Jim Chomko, and
Mike Riley who scored one
goal each.
Their record was dropped
to 8-2 after dropping a 4-2 decision
to Green Bay, despite
two Ranger goals by Jens
Hansen. Ranger coach Rick
Kilps was somewhat critical
of the way Green Bay scored
their four goals, coming on
two penalty kicks and two
INK FAR SIDE
free kicks.
"It's hard to handle when
all their goals were scored on
dead balls," Kilps stated in a
phone interview last Monday.
He then added, "It makes you
wonder how they've gone 74
and 20 at home. I'll have to
see how we come back after
this one."
Kilps also talked about a
tough game coming up for the
soccer team on Wed., Sept. 30
at home against the University
of Illinois-Chicago, which
will be televised. Results of
Wednesday's game will be In
the Ranger next week.
Other upcoming games include
an away game at Beloit
College, Oct. 3, and a home
game against Illinois Institute
of Technology, Sat., Oct. 10 at
1:30 p.m. which will be
Homecoming.

Arend grapples with Russian lifestyle
by Terri DeRosier
Asst. Feature Editor
Parkside senior Ken Arend
recently went to Moscow to
^participate in Mockba '87.
(Mockba is Russian for Moscow.)
Arend went with a team of
hearing-impaired athletes
from all over the United
States. This same team went
to Mexico in 1985 for the Deaf
Olympic Games.
The team flew nine hours
from New York to Yugoslavia,
and when they arrived,
the team was informed they
had lost their seats on the
plane to Moscow.
After waiting a day and a
>half, the team finally got on a
""plane and headed down the
runway. Before the plane
could get off the ground, it
turned around, and everyone
' on the plane had to go
through customs again, and
then they were allowed to
take off. Arend says he is still
not sure why the plane was
stopped, whether it was because
of all the Americans on
board, or if it was just mechanical
difficulties with the
plane.
When they finally arrived
in Moscow, they were a day
and a half late and there was
no one at the airport to meet
r them.
"Because we got there
after 8 at night," Arend said,
"we had to wait until morning
to get a ride. All through
out Russia there is no phone
communication after 8 p.m."
The team had to wait eight
hours in the Moscow airport
before the coach could make
arrangements to get them
picked up. "We really
couldn't sleep," Arend said.
Parkside wrestler Ken Arend showing his gold in Russia
"There were KGB agents
everywhere, particularly
around us."
The team was finally
picked up at the airport, and
they were taken directly to
the arena to wrestle.
"We were to weigh in right
away," Arend stated. "We
had nothing to eat, no sleep
for quite some time, and we
were just supposed to weigh
in and wrestle. A lot of us
were pretty upset."
"We had to open the ceremonies,"
Arend continued.
"The ceremony was really
nice. All the countries went
out with their flags, and stood
under their larger flag hanging
from the ceiling."
According to Arend the six
countries that took part in the
tournament were Russia, Bulgaria,
Romania, Yugoslavia,
Canada and the United
States.
After the flag ceremony,
three ladies came out dressed
in traditional Russian dress
and one of them carried
bread that tasted like a salted
pretzel. She went to every
country's flag carrier and
each one took a piece of the
bread and ate it.
"This was supposed to be a
symbol of unity and sharing,"
Arend said.
Arend wrestled both Greco-
Roman and Freestyle and reThe
opening week for the
Parkside Ranger baseball
team turned out to be very
successful as they swept
three doubleheaders from
Milwaukee teams.
After opening the season
with 7-3 and 12-7 victories
over Marquette, the Rangers
went up against MATC at
Milwaukee's Rainbow Field.
In game one, Joel Bumgarner
started on the mound and,
after giving up one run in the
first inning, was untouchable.
He struck out nine and
talked none in five innings,
giving up only four hits. He
was provided with all the offense
he needed in the fourth
when Parkside scored three
times. The rally was keyed
by a two run single from DH
Tim Moore. After scoring
once in the fifth, the Rangers
put the game away by scoring
seven times in the sixth.
In the inning, Brian Gauthier
lined a two run double and
Gary Fritsch followed with an
RBI triple to break the game
wide open. Final score: UWP
11, MATC 1.
In game two, the Rangers
struck early with first baseman
Jeff Reikowski's two run
triple, giving Parkside a two
run lead. It was short-lived,
however, because MATC
came up with two runs in
their half of the first to tie the
score. After answering MATC
with one run in the top of the
second, Parkside found themselves
trailing 5-3 when
MATC scored three times in
the second. The Ranger hitters
responded quickly
though, scoring three times in
the third with Gary Fritsch
singling in what turned out to
be the game winner with two
out. They then broke the
game open in the fourth,
sending ten men to the plate
and scoring five times. Freshman
Joe Rick recorded the
victory for the Rangers with
three strong innings of one-hit
ball. MATC did mount a rally
in the sixth against John
Hagen, another freshman
pitcher, but he settled down
to close the door on MATC.
The final score in the night
cap was 13-9.
Sunday, the Rangers played
at home for the first time,
taking on MSOE. Again,
Parkside fell behind early
when starter Rob Peiffer was
reached for one run in the
first. That run held up until
Baseball see page 16
ceived gold medals in-each
event.
Although the Americans did
very well in their individual
events, the team itself finished
with a silver medal,
coming in behind the Russian
team.
Before leaving Moscow,
Arend said the team spent
one day touring the city.
"We saw the Kremlin,
statues of Lenin, the Red
Square and the tomb of their
unknown soldier. We also saw
the point where Hitler was
stopped and Russia lost 20
million people.
"We were taken every -
vhere by KGB agents,"
Arend said. "We were not allowed
to go anywhere by ourselves.
We were told to stay
in the hotel, so we did."
"If you left the hotel you
were on your own," Arend recalled.
Arend said that once one of
the American athletes left the
hotel, and when he tried to
get back in he realized that
he had not taken his U.S.
identification with him.
"The guard at the door
wasn't going to let him in,"
Arend said. "She kept pushing
him back outside. Luckily
one of the KGB agents who
had been with us since we
had gotten there recognized
him, went over to the guard,
showed his badge and the athlete
was allowed back in.
"No one questions the actions
of the KGB over there,"
Arend stated. "While we were
shopping, the lines were so
long; and we only had a certain
amount of time, so the
KGB agent went to the front
of the line, showed his badge
and the clerk took care of us
right away."
Although Arend said he
thought the trip was very
educational, giving him a
chance to learn first-hand the
history of Russia, he has no
desire to go back.
"I really noticed my loss of
freedom over there," Arend
said. "We had people come
up to us to help them get out
of Russia. Our coach warned
us that things like that might
happen. He told us that we
just had to walk away because
if we interfered, we
might not come home ourselves.
"It was really scary,"
Arend said. "I just never
want to go back. I was so
happy to be back in the
United States. When I flew
into Milwaukee, it was really
good to see Lake Michigan
again!''
Arend is now trying to raise
money to sponsor another trip
with the same team. He will
be going to New Zealand in
December of 1989. He needs
to raise four thousand dollars,
and he will go to major companies
in the area, but he will
also rely on the support of
family and friends.
He feels that with his experience
in these competitions,
and with his winning record
he stands a good chance in
raising the money he needs.
"Right now I'm the best in
the United States of the hearing-
impaired athletes," Arend
said, "and I hope to carry
that over to New Zealand."
Arend is not wrestling with
the Parkside team this
semester.
"I hope to wrestle in open
tournaments through Parkside,"
Arend said, "and I
want to help out Coach Koch
in any way I can."
