Guskin, Parkside Chancellor, has accepted the presidency of Antioch University in Yellow Springs, Ohio, a national university with a distinctive niche in American higher education. He will assume his new duties on Sept. 1, exactly ten years after assuming the ~ Parkside chancellorship. Guskin, 48, will become the 17th president of Antioch, whose founding president in 1852 was noted educator and social reformer Horace Mann. The announcement of Guskin's appointment was made Wednesday morning in Yellow Springs by Robert Aller, Antioch's Board of Trustees chairman, who co-chaired a national search involving 250 nominations to replace William M. Birenbaum, who resigned last year after eight years as Antioch president. Antioch University consists of innovative Antioch College in Yellow Springs, a law school in Washington, D.C., adult degree centers in Philadelphia, Keene, N.H., San Francisco, Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Seattle, and overseas programs with learning centers in London and Tubingen, West Germany. Current enrollment on all campuses is about 3,000. Guskin's salary at Antioch will be $82,000. His current Parkside salary is $69,000. Aller said the 15-member search committee included Antioch trustees, faculty and students as well as four prominent educators who are Antioch alumni: the dean of the Ohio State School of Engineering, the vice chancellor and graduate school head at the University of Kansas, the Kirstein Professor of Human Relations at Harvard and the dean of the Johns Hopkins School of International Studies. Antioch's unique reputation in higher education rests on its pioneering efforts in areas such as cooperative education, in which students alternate school with work experience; use of diverse settings for learning; individualized education; study abroad programs; and opportunity for disadvantaged, women and minority students. Antioch was the first private college to institute cooperative education, and still has the most extensive program, with six co-op quarters of work experience required for graduation. In 1852 Antioch was the first college to admit women as equals to men and the first to have a female faculty member hold an equal position with men. In 1863 it was one of the first colleges in America to formally prohibit race discrimination in admissions. "Alan Guskin's coming to Antioch is a cause for rejoicing," Aller said in announcing the appointment. "His extensive experience as a senior academic administrator, teacher and scholar has had an unmistakable Antioehian flavor, with focus on innovation with quality, development of values central to the educational experience, service to the disadvantaged and a strong collaborative leadership style,'' Aller said. "It is extremely difficult to leave such a special place as Parkside," said Guskin. "This university is a jewel within the UW System. It has come so far in such a short period of time, and still has so much potential. We have an outstanding faculty and staff. "The future of this university and this corner of Wisconsin are inseparably linked," Guskin continued. "With effort and cooperation, that future can be brighter than most of us have yet dreamed. "This has been our life for a decade, and there will be much pain in leaving our many friends and colleagues," he said. "But it is a rare opportunity and grear honor for me to become president of an insititution which I have respected and admired for so long as one of the most distinctive and worthwhile in the country. Antioch has always stood for important social and educational values which Judy and I hold dear and which have influenced our lives. Those values were important in the decision to accept the presidency of Antioch," he said. Guskin's wife, Judy, an adjunct associate professor of anthropology at Parkside who has enjoyed success as an independent producer of educational television programs, has accepted a position as television producer in residence at Antioch and will work closely with public television stations in the Dayton- Cincinnati area. Robert O'Neil, UW System president, said he was "delighted for Alan and Judy since Antioch is the perfect match for them." He cited the "many natural affinities between Parkside and Antioch" under Guskin, saying "For the very reasons that he has been an outstanding chancellor at Parkside, he will be an absolutely superb president of Antioch." Under Guskin, Parkside has significantly upgraded the quality of its faculty, academic programs and research commitment, increased the number of majors and focused on those which relate to area needs, begun master's degree programs, implemented a comprehensive outreach program of involvement with the communities, and achieved positions of national leadership for its 'teaching' library, its academic skills competency requirements and its high school motivational program for minority youth. Guskin's achievements at Parkside have earned him recognition as a national leader in higher education. He has served on the national board of directors of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities and has written and consulted widely on university leadership and directions for the future of higher education. He came to Parkside in 1975 from Clark University in Worchester, Mass., where he was provost and acting president. He was a faculty member there and at the University of Michigan, where he was assistant director of the Center for Research on the Utilization of Scientific Knowledge. As graduate students, Guskin and his wife Judy, also a Michigan Ph.D., organized the student movement at Michigan which was widely credited with inspiring John F. Kennedy to found the Peace Corps. The Guskins later went on to become among the first Peace Corps volunteers to Thailand. Guskin later helped establish VISTA as a member of the President's Task Force on the War Against Poverty and served as director of VISTA's selection division. The Guskins have two daughters, Sharon 19, a sophomore at Yale, and Andrea, 14 a freshman at Prairie School in Racine. A search and screen committee will be appointed to conduct a national search for a successor to Guskin. Hearing held today on requirement changes The Academic Policies Committee will hold a hearing on proposed changes in graduation requirements today, March 28, at 3 p.m. in Moln. 105. The following is a discription of the proposed requirements: 1. Students must obtain a passing grade in English 102. (Note: English 102 is the second semester of a year-long freshman English course. Students may place into, but not beyond, English 102 by achieving a satisfactory score on the English Placement Exam. The student's score on the placement exam will determine whether he/she places into English 99, pre-college English, English 101 first-semester English or English 102.) 2. Students must obtain satisfactory grades (as determined by an English Proficiency Committee) on both of the following proficiency examinations: A. An objective English composition proficiency examination (normally taken before the student enrolls in English 102). B. A writing sample examination. (Note: The student must successfully complete Examination A before taking Examination B. Both » examinations must be retaken until performance is satisfactory. Course work does not satisfy the proficiency requirement). The proposal is recommended to replace the current reading-writinglibrary skills requirement. In addition, APC plans to incorporate library skills into English 99,101 and 102. James Shea, Chair of APC, said the committee has been working on the proposal since the fall. "The general feeling is that students need more time in class and they also need all the help they can get in writing skills. Many students who enter college are sadly deficient in their writing skills. We tried to deal with that problem with the skills tests route but that hasn't been altogether satisfactory. I personally think the proposal makes a lot of sense. Students who need more help will get it and those who have ability will not be held up," said Shea. If the proposal is sent to and adopted by the Faculty Senate, it would apply to students who begin taking courses at Parkside in the fall of 1988 or later. Shea urges anyone who would like to comment on the proposal to attend the hearing today. 2 Thursday, March 28,1985 RANGER Editorial Shared governance is essential Shared governance — tw o words that are very important and very necessary in the operation of this university. Ask any administrator if shared governance is important or if they believe in it. They would answer with a resounding "YES!" But of course, shared governance is mandated by law (Wisconsin State Merger Statute, article 36.9 (5)). It guarantees students' rights to have a voice in the policy making of educational institutions. Administrators would be foolish to outwardly deny the importance of such a law. But how many administrators, or students for that matter, realize the full implications of those two words, shared governance? It is more than just an impressive article to quote at cocktail parties, it is the thread that links students to the heart of the university —. these two words evoke the powerful realization that students do have a voice in the intricate policy making of their university. Recently, on several occasions, the necessity of shared governance has been overlooked. • The amount of campus reserve monies and the projections for its use for campus organizations were withheld from the Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee, the student committee in charge of campus funding, but the projections appeared in a Racine Journal Times newspaper article. • The Student Organizations Council was not informed about an administrative decision to provide office space for the Black Student Organization until after the club had already moved into the space. BSO is a recognized club through SOC. • The Parkside Union Advisory Board was not consulted with, or informed of the Union management's decision to limit the Union Square Grill's operating hours. It is not that we feel the Parkside administration is purposely withholding important information from students, like the above examples, but it appears shared governance is becoming an afterthought rather than a forethought. We urge the administration, as well as students, to work harder toward the goal of total shared governance. Students must have the opportunity to participate in policy making on this campus. Campaign finance laws bite back Senate Majority Leader Tim Cullen (D-Janesville) has introduced legislation which he says will "put teeth into" Wisconsin's campaign finance laws. "It's time we made a serious effort in Wisconsin to bring the cost of campaigns back in line," Cullen said, adding that many candidates are funded privately. "The key to controlling the influence of special interest money in elections is to limit the total spending on legislative races," he said. Under the proposal, a candidate for legislative office will be eligible to receive double the amount of public funding if his or her opponent chooses not to accept a grant from the Wisconsin Election Campaign Fund. Under Wisconsin law, candidates for public office who receive a campaign finance grant are subject to spending limits. "However, if one candidate refuses the grant, all limits are off," Cullen explained. Cullen pointed out that the limits for the November 1984 elections were $32,225 for a candidate for the State Senate and $16,100 for a candidate for the State Assembly. Of this amount, a Senate candidate was eligible for a $14,501 grant from the Wisconsin Election Campaign Fund and an Assembly candidate was eligible for a $7,245 grant from the fund. But in one race last fall where no limits were in place, nearly $95,000 was spent by one candidate. Cullen has also proposed to allow tax filers who have no tax liability to designate $1 to the Wisconsin Election Campaign Fund. This provision will generate approximately $100,000 in additional money to the fund. "I am convinced that the adoption of these two proposals will make the public financing of campaigns for legislative offices so appealing that very few candidates will choose not to accept the grant," Cullen said. IF YOU IN THE CONGRESS DONT GIVE US THIS AID FOR THE CONTRAS, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO COMMIT OUR OWN TROOPS TO A WAR WITH NICARAGUA LATER ON.

WHILE WE'RE STILL BEING NZASOA/ABLE. Nobody asked me, but... Women are exploited by men by Joan Mattox Women are the hearts, souls and victims in society. A woman is the reliable backbone when her man faces hardships, disappointments and failures. Her sturdy limbs support his ambitions as his jellied shanks falter under the unexpected difficulties. She rises at 5 a.m. to fix his breakfast and is beaten at 6 p.m. that night for not having his dinner on the table, but the breakfast is on the table at 5 a.m. the next morning, as usual. What is it about a woman that makes her a victim in so many ways? Where do women get the resilience to bounce back day after day after being exploited so severely by the male population? Is it a woman's dependence on a man, is it a kind heart, or is it just plain ignorance? Let's examine 'the subject of prostitution. A 13-year-old girl on the streets is hustling for chump change that tailors and Cadillacs her pimp. He feeds off his little prodigy until she reaches the ripe old age of 16, then tells her that her services are no longer needed. He leaves her with nothing — no home, no security, no money and no self-esteem. She has been exploited to the point that she probably identified with this low-life as a father figure. The other girls he exploited were her sisters and her home was the streets. She is a girl who only feels self-worth when others use and feed off of her because this gives her that feeling of being needed. Sexual exploitation usually ties in with mental exploitation. Many men have this uncanny ability to make a woman feel less than she really is. The constant reminder of who brings the money in and who belongs in the kitchen is an example of this ability. "Stick to what you do best, scrubbing and shopping." It is as if some men want women to live in a vacuum and just let men run the world. Many goals and ambitions that women have are quickly shot down by just one sour note from a man. It's nothing but a mind game. If women were more confident about what they want and how they can go about getting it, things that men say wouldn't take such a high priority. Confidence in ourselves is all it takes. Economic exploitation seems to be the "now" thing to do to women. While a man may have the same job as a woman, the man's salary may be considerably higher. This is the case in many jobs, but more and more women are taking a stance against this exploitation. They claim and demand that their salaries match those of their male co-workers. A woman's promotion may take a back seat to a man's, even if she is more qualified. It seems as if men want all the high positions in this world to be run by men; men want to be the dominant force. That says male supremacy to me. It seems as if men want the female to be dependent upon the male for everything. I think they feel that if a woman has a comparable job and income, the female won't need males anymore. That sounds like insecurity. Men need someone to depend on them so they can feel self-worth, so they try to exploit the woman and keep her down. They do not want her to advance herself socially or economically, so they oppress her. They oppress her physically as well as mentally. I feel for the woman who has gone through life and not found herself, a woman who jumps to fulfill a man's every want and need while forsaking her own, a woman who has never discovered her likes and dislikes, abilities and inabilities. I feel for the woman who is a man's "doormat." «O0 & Jennie Tunkieicz.... Pat Hensiak Bob Kiesling Jim Neibaur Rick Luehr Carol Kortendick. Dave McEvoy Jill Whitney Nielsen.

RANGER 3 Thursday, March 28,1985 Direct mail aims at students here by Bob Kiesling Community News Editor Parkside students, especially juniors and seniors, have a lot in common with other students around the country. They get lots of junk mail. Since college students are a big market — they are estimated to spend $50 bill ion yearly — th ey are of particular interest to mass marketers, and direct mail is perhaps the quickest, easiest and most effective way to tap that market. College students, espcially upperclassmen, are believed to be good credit risks, and companies like American Express or oil companies who have their own credit systems believe that catching their customers early helps to develop brand loyalty. Phil Blackburn, spokesman for Texaco, said his company has traditionally targeted upperclassmen. In fact, Parkside juniors and seniors were recently the target of a direct mail campaign for the company's credit cards. Texaco has had a marketing program for several years designed to get students to trust the man who wears the star and to bring in a ''good portion" of their disposable income earmarked for petroleum products, he said. In a recent mailing the company made to this area, the words "UWParkside" were printed under the addressee's name. What is not known, though, is how mass merchandisers get the students' names. Registrar Sue Johnson said the school does not release information about students, except to verify attendance dates for prospective employers. She said, however, that campus directories are freely available, and all someone interested in getting a list of students' names and addresses has to do is come here and buy one for a dollar. Bill Robbins, coordinator of news and information, said Parkside does not honor requests for directories, but they are available on campus. "If people really want to get a directory, they can get one," he said. "It's a public document." Johnson said students are not required to be listed in the directory. She said it is necessary that a request to withhold a student's name from the directory be filed at the registrar's office. A large portion of the mail students receive is from the military. The armed forces, said Marine Staff Sgt. Ted Skierkiewicz of Racine, are interested in students in both high school and college. College students, who usually receive mail for officers' programs, receive their mail from the recruiting district's offices in Milwaukee. "What we're selling is jobs," he said, "and where better to find people without jobs than in high school and college?" Most companies are more secretive about their direct mailing efforts, however, and none of those asked would comment on specific programs. Parkside's official position is that the university does not release information for direct mail campaigns. Even so, if a student buys a product from another company and is identified as a student, they may get mail from other companies. PSGA officers talk to legislators Three members of the Parkside Student Government (PSGA) went to Madison over spring break to talk to state representatives about the Student Regent Bill, Stop 21 and veterans' financial aid. The representatives seen were assemblymen Peter Barca and John Antaramian (Kenosha), Cloyd Porter (Burlington) and Jeff Neubauer, Scott Fergus and James Ladwig, Racine. "All the legislators were supportive of the Student Regent Bill," stated Chris Baierl, vice-chair of the PSGA Legislative Affairs Committee. "Porter suggested a clause be put into the bill requiring that a different UW-System school be represented each year." The legislators were not as supportive of Stop 21. Baierl stated that most of them would follow their constituents who are "screaming for something to be done about the drunk driving problem real soon." The legislators also seemed very interested in helping Parkside veterans who aren't receiving their Federal financial aid on time. Antaramian told members of PSGA that if enough veterans contacted him, he would see what he could do to help. Porter said he would help with applications. Baierl stated "They were very receptive and supportive of our efforts." Sue Walborn stated that they all expressed an interest in students' views and "all wanted to visit the campus directly." I'm driving" hits dead end by Jill Whitney Nielsen The Parkside Union has no plans to implement the "I'm Driving" club on campus but does support the program. This decision was made by the Parkside Union Advisory Board (PUAB) at last Friday's meeting. Bill Niebuhr stated in a report that only Marquette had implemented the program. "The intial reaction to it has been that it isn't being utilized much." Jennie Tunkieicz, Ranger editor, stated "It's a nice concept, but if you are that concerned about your friends, you're going to drink soda anyway." PUAB also discussed the food service in the Union Square being closed daily from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Jack Kemper, Student Organization Council (SOC) representative, wondered why PUAB wasn't notified of the change ahead of time. "By having it closed, we're limiting the food service on this campus to only the coffee shop. PUAB is concerned with falling sales and ways to make the Union more attractive, and then we turn around and limit services. How is this helping the Union?" Niebuhr explained that according to statistics, it's just not profitable to keep the Union food service open between those hours. Keith Harmann, Parkside Activities Board (PAB) representative, didn't like the idea of cutting services either, and suggested trying something like the specials to help draw people. Tunkieicz suggested more activities like bands to help draw people. Niebuhr told PUAB that generally with activities, sales drop instead of increase. Michael Farrell, the newest member of PUAB, wondered how closing the food service would affect sales for the rest of the evening. Farrell, who bartends in the Square Tuesday and Thursday nights, told PUAB that since the food service started closing, sales for the night have been down. "A lot of people might think it's closed for the rest of the night and leave," he said. Niebuhr said it would be a few weeks until they know how the food service's closing has affected sales. Kemper asked Niebuhr if the real reason the food service was being closed was to make the bidding for a new food service company more attractive. Niebuhr admitted that had something to do with it. "The Union is presenting a contract (to potential bidders) that has a lot of negatives in it, especially with the loss of Gen Con. We have to try and make it as attractive as possible." By law the Union has to re-bid for a new food service every five years. Niebuhr explained that between six and ten companies will come to a bidders' meeting at Parkside. They will be shown the campus and the food service facilities and given an opportunity to ask questions. The companies then have three weeks to send a bid. The final decision is made by University Purchasing Office in Madison, but the campuses do have input. UNITARIAN UNIVERSALISTS have always been known to question hand-me-down religious doctrines.

Sorvlcos A Sun day School NEWS BRIEFS Students protest aid cuts "Education Cuts Never Heal." "Minds, Not Missiles." These were two of the signs carried by several hundred students who marched in Washington, D.C. several weeks ago and capped a day of protest at the Department of Education, the Associated Press reported. They called on Secretary of Education William Bennett to apologize for his comments that students give up their cars, stereos and beach vacations to offset proposed cuts in student aid. The rally was staged by the United States Student Association, a national coalition of student government leaders. Edward Elmendorf, an aide for post-secondary education, met privately with 21 of the protesters at the department and said he "learned that there's a great deal more misinformation about our proposals out there than I suspected." He did say, however, that the cuts, including elimination of guaranteed student loans for students whose families earn more than $32,- 500 and a $4,000 c ap on other forms of aid, would deny aid to one million students. Profs to get $8,000 raise The average salary of a full professor at Parkside will rise $8,067 to $44,138 by January 1987 under Gov. Anthony S. Earl's budget proposals, the Associated Press reported. That compares to a $12,596 pay increase at Madison, increasing salaries there to an average of $52,000, and includes a "catch up" pay increase as well as regular state employee pay increases and inflation adjustments. The increase at Parkside is the fifth largest in the UW-System in dollars, and total estimated salaries here rank fourth. Travanti helps police effort In the wake of the shooting of two Milwaukee police officers, efforts to get private funds for bulletproof vests are continuing, the Milwaukee Sentinel reported. Even Daniel J. Travanti, who plays Capt. Frank Furillo on "Hill Street Blues," has supported the fundraising efforts. The Kenosha native is appearing in a public service announcement asking for donations. WTMJ-TV and WKTI radio started the fund raising effort with the cooperation of the Milwaukee Police Association and Milwaukee Police Chief Robert Ziarnik. Ziarnik estimated the cost of the vests to be about $600,000 for the department's 2,100 of ficers. A rxt i reek, look for the Stranger... Believe it or not.

In attempting to increase the quality of an institution, whether a big business, a small business or an educational institution, the investigation involved will be a complicated and time-consuming task. Parkside has recently developed the Freshman/Sophomore Taskforce to address some problems that relate to increasing Parkside's quality. "It's a fairly broad charge," commented Dr. Robert Canary, Committee chair. "We're trying to investigate ways in which the university can move forward, especially during the freshman and sophomore years when so many of our students transfer." One of the main problems the task force deals with is retention. "Retention is a problem, not so much as a problem itself, but as a symptom to realize there are things we could be doing better," stated Canary. "We have a lot of people entering who have a good potential to make it through, but they drop out. For some reason they get sidetracked. It's not necessarily a lack of academic skill, it may be a failure on the part of the university to make clear what it takes to get through early enough in the game." Canary explained that Parkside's problems don't exist just because it's an urban public college. "We do have a better program to offer. We have a good curriculum and we have very high standards for our faculty. It's really a matter of taking advantage of that." The committee is looking at questions of more active preparation in regard to the local high schools and Gateway Technical Institute. "We want to expand the ways we deal with people when they first arrive. We have to let them know what it takes to survive in the Skills Program, in the Breadth of Knowledge program. Factors that will help students develop are part of a good feedback to involvement." Canary talked about involvement as central in general to the success of the university and the students within it and he talked of involvement as central to retention. "We have to ask ourselves if there are ways we can build an environment that makes students more involved.

It's a teaching, a learning within the university, it's what the student takes out, it's what the student learns that is our real measure of success." Getting students directly involved in the learning process is on the agenda for the task force. "We should take advantage of our current and advanced students in dealing with those students coming in. At a residential campus people learn a lot about how to cope with college. If we could set up some thing here to encourage that, it would be great. A l ot of times students are a lot more willing to listen to other students. You tend to understand something better when you teach it. You tend to become more involved in it and more interested in it when you can pass it along." The development of Parkside's excellence in education will depend a great deal on the students themselves. "It depends on the students' intellectual and personal development. It's part of what the traditional- age students are going through. What is it that they want to be? College can help them figure that out. We don't want to choose between preparing people for a job or giving them a liberal education. All the evidence suggests that there will be 4 or 5 shifts in what we will do with our lives. Career Preparation is important, but a general skill and knowledge to adapt to the changes will be vital." Conscience Crises "Crises of Conscience: Present Moral Problems" will be the topic of a non-credit course offered by Parkside's Continuing Education Office from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on five consecutive Thursdays beginning April 18. Cost of the course, to be taught by Rabbi Marc Gruber of Kenosha's Beth Hillel Temple, is $19. To register, call 553-2312. The course will include an introduction to different types of ethical thinking, systems for making value judgments and the various procedures for deciding ethical conflicts. Crises of conscience in the areas of war and peace, economic justice, environmental concerns and decisions about life and death will be explored. The course will focus on how advancing technology affects ethical questions. Brown bag health luncheon "Non-Traditional Sources of Health Care" will be the topic of a free public Wellness Brown Bag Luncheon, sponsored by Parkside's Office of Continuing Education from 11:50 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 17, in Union Room 104. Speaker will be John Burkhardt, of the Kenosha Youth Foundation. Persons are encourage to bring their own lunches or purchase food at the Parkside Union Dining facility.

It is expected that approximately 700 awards to over 70 countries will be available for the 1986-87 a cademic year. The purpose of these grants is to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. The grants are provided under the terms of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbri ght-Hays Act) and by foreign governments, universities, corporations and private donors. Applicants must be U.S. c itizens at the time of ap plication, who will generally hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant and, in most cases, will be proficient in the language of the host country. Except for certain specific awards, candidates may not hold the PhD at the time of application. Candidates for 1986-87 are ineligible for a grant to a country if they have been doing graduate work or conducting research in that country for six months or more during the academic year 1985-86. Creative and performing artists are not required to have a bachelor's degree, but they must have four years of professional study or equivalent experience. Candidates in medicine must have an M.D. or equivalent degree (e.g., D.D.S, O.D.) at the time of application. Application forms and further information for students currently enrolled at Parkside may be obtained from the Fulbright Program Adviser John Campbell, WLLC 346 (552 - 2006). The deadline for filing applications is September 16, 1985. Professor Ralph K. White is the visiting scholar on campus this week, sponsored by the Parkside Honors Program. Dr. White, whose specialties include international conflict and war propoganda, is currently Professor Emeritus in Social Psychology at George Washington University. White earned his Ph.D in Psychology at Stanford University. He has taught Psychology at several universities, has worked for the CIA i n the analysis of Communist propaganda, has done research on public opinion overseas — especially in the USSR, has worked with Kurt Kewin and Ronald Lippitt on autocratic and democratic atmospheres in children's groups, and has first-hand experience in Moscow, Berlin and Saigon. His numerous articles and publications vary in subject from the nature of war propaganda, the Cold War autocracy and democracy, the Vietnam War and the Arab-Isaeli conflict, to US-Soviet relations and the prevention of nuclear war. His extensive experience and knowledge in these areas have proved to generate much interest on the part of fa culty and students. White, whose stay extended from Tuesday, March 26 to Thursday March 28, enjoy ed a busy schedule of class lectures, lunches with faculty members, dinners with faculty and students and a public presentation, "Teaching Peace at the College Level." His lectures in the political science and history classes dealt with US-Soviet relations and efforts to keep peace.

Feature Editor I'm sure you've noticed the wonderful posters that announce upcoming theater productions at Parkside. The woman behind these posters is freelance artist Laurel Dane-VanDyke. Dane-VanDyke has been designing graphics for the theater department since her husband, Dramatic Arts Professor Leon VanDyke, began teaching here. "It seems like I've done the graphics for every show he's done since I met him. When he taught at Northwestern, it got so that I was doing graphics for all the shows. When we came here, there was no one doing that job. The graphics people at Parkside wouldn't handle the theater department, for some reason. So I decided to do it." Dane-VanDyke said the ideas for her graphics come from many sources. "I think it's really essential that, if you're doing a job for someone, make sure your design fits the weekend designing this thing with heavy rock music on the radio, which is something I normally don't work to. It got me in the mood, and the designs worked out quite well." Dane-VanDyke's main concentration is as a sculptor. She attended Albion College in Michigan, where she concentrated more on painting. "I was doing these very large, serious paintings. Then, in my senior year, I began making these little paper sculptures. I made them small so I could hide them in a drawer in my studio. Meanwhile, I was still doing these big, serious, ten or twenty foot paintings. "I heard, years later, a wonderful term by the art critic Lucy Lippard, who referred to things like I was doing as 'closet art.' And, in many cases, that is, in fact, real art. You're in transition at that point; you won't admit it to yourself, you hide it in a drawer, but you still want to make that stuff. So I began to jettison the paintings pretty quickly and started making sculptures. Then I went to Rhode Island School of Design for two years as a .graduate student and that was terrific." At the moment Dane-VanDyke is working on two Parkside related projects. One is creating a smaller version of the display for the Wellness Program. "The women who run the program want a small version of the display that will fit in a briefcase so they can take it to other schools and show them how the program looks and how the display looks."

"I'm doing that for Michael Bassis. It's a new national magazine, so we want to kick it off with a dynamite cover design." Dane-VanDyke feels her life in art is very satisfying. "I never thought to get rich quick. I decided somewhere that I wasn't going to do that in my life. So what? It beats being a stockbroker. They make money, but I'd be bored to death. You can't thwart people's natural urges. You can try, but you get real unhappiness." Theater specifics of the job. The first thing in the theater is: read the play. That gives you your own impression of i t. Sometimes the period the play is set in, the plot or the title will give you an idea. I also talk to the director and scene designer. "Sometimes," she continued, "even music can help. I once had a job doing a series of posters for a health department in Evanston geared toward teenagers. They were starting a clinic for teens, mostly girls. I had to gear the graphics around where the teenagers were at. I spent the entire Book review Maltin discusses "The Disney Films 99 by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor Leonard Maltin's book "The Disney Films," published by Crown, is a very accurate, affectionate and sincere look at the work of one of film's greatest and most innovative filmmakers. The book has complete credit listings and critical evaluations of the Disney feature films, as well as several other chapters listing Disney's achievements with cartoons, nature films and television, as well as productions released by the studio after Disney's death in 1966. "A lot of Walt Disney's live action work was overlooked and underappreciated," said Maltin during a recent interview. " 'Darby O'Gill and the Little People' is to me one of the great fantasy and special effects films of all time, and it bothers me that more people don't know that. Another of his best pictures, 'So Dear To My Heart,' is a flim that just never found an audience and probably never will." Maltin originally wrote "The Disney Films" for publication by Crown in 1973. This new version, released in January of this year, adds information on subsequent film releases (up to and including the recent "Splash") as well as information on cable TV's Disney Channel and the release of Disney films on video tape. "I originally decided to do a book on Disney because nobody had ever done a book on all the films. I was interested in them, I Leonard Maltin had grown up watching them, so I thought it would make an interesting book," said Maltin. With Walt Disney's career responsible for such a vast amount of work, Maltin had to come to a decision regarding just what aspect he was to elaborate on. "Well, I started with the feature films," said Maltin, "and saw that it was going Carmen releases new LP by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor During the early and middle seventies, Eric Carmen's group The Raspberries turned out first-rate adolescent pop rock. Picking up a copy of their greatest hits is still a decent idea, as the songs have withstood the test of time rather well. Since then Carmen has done solo work with "Never Gonna Fall in Love Again" and "All By Myself" being among the most notorious hits. Carmen traded rock for second generation schlock as far back as 1977, so his latest self-styled LP on Geffen isn't too surprising. The only astonishment this record offers is that Carmen is searching so hard for a musical niche, he has reworked not only Eric Carmen formulas, but others of his songs. "I Wanna Hear It From Your Lips" has too many uncomfortable similarities to Springsteen's "Fire." "I'm Through With Love" is even more similar to Carmen's own "All By Myself," while "You Took Me All th e Way" is a blatant remake of the old Raspberries' hit "Go All the Way," the original remaining the quintessential bubblegum statement of teenage sexual angst. "American as Apple Pie" has him attempting to be Springsteen without the Boss' anger or passion, while "The Way We Used to Be" is just mewly crap in the tradition of Barry Manilow or Lionel Richie. In his search for his musical "self," it is unfortunate that Carmen didn't discover that The Raspberries WAS that necessary poprock niche. When he passionately sang "Want a hit record, yeah..." with that group, I don't know that any of us realised his want was so desperate he'd sell out his creativity completely to banal mush acceptable only to adult contemporary radio. ********************************************* *5 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Pork/s Tavern & Fast becoming the talk of the town' 2109-2117 91st St- • Kenosha Lounge • • • • EVERY WEEK * • * • *1.00 Pitchers Sundays 12 Noon-Midnight • • • • EVERY WEEK • • • • ANIMAL HOUSE NIGHT!

In regard to the recent cable and video releases of Disney's work, Maltin stated, "I think it's great. I think it has acquainted and re-acquainted people with the many really good films that he did, some of the nice work that was done on the TV show, and other things that had been sitting on the shelf or only available in 16mm for school presentations and such." As far as recent Disney releases are concerned, Maltin stated, "I think the talented people there can do something new that is quite wonderful. There is no longer a Walt Disney to inspire and prod the Disney Studios team to greater heights, but I think it's a mistake to compare what today's people do to what was done at that studio in the past. They're new people and these are different times." Walt Disney is definitely one of the most innovative and talented individuals in the history of motion pictures, feels Maltin. Terminator Walt Disney "Walt Disney is really a unique figure in the history of entertainment," said Maltin. "I can think of no one who wasn't a performer who left such an indelible stamp on everything he did. He had a belief about what entertainment should be and a vision about taking this medium forward that really set him apart from everyone else." Awful PAB presentation by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor In my review of "The Terminator" at the time of its initial release, I stated in The Ranger that it was the worst film of 1984. Watching "The Terminator" is tantamount to watching the Vietnam war: a lot of blood and guts with no point or reason. Arnold Schwarzenegger is cast as a machine (oh irony!) that travels back in time to kill the mother of his enemy so his enemy will never exist. Another of his enemies goes back to the same time to prevent Schwarzenegger from killing the mother of his future comrade. But this guy screws the mother, so he turns out to be his future comrade's father. Confused? Me, too! Schwarzenegger has almost no dialogue at all, which is a blessing of sorts, and his performance is every bit as stilted as ever. There apparently were no plans to give any depth to the character (or thing) that Schwarzenegger portrays in "The Terminator," so he is once again just a lumbering slab of dumb, destructive strength. The violence is very graphic, with the camera lingering long and lovingly on dying, bleeding victims crawling away in slow motion. Linda Hamilton, who plays the future mother, is utilized for her beauty (her bed scene with co-star Michael Biehn is the picture's attempt at eroticism for patrons who enter the show with rolled-up newspapers) and is given little to do in the acting department other than to look terrified. The plot is hopelessly far-fetched and silly, the gunplay unmotivated and especially grisly. While there is a great deal of action (sometimes a nice word for violence), "The Terminator" is no more than a bluntly visceral experience in the same league as the monster "Dirty Harry." There is literally nothing here that will please anyone with the ability to read. Camp for artists set ******************************************** A one-week "Great North Woods Art Camp" for persons interested in studying nature from a first-hand aesthetic perspective will be offered by Parkside's Continuing Education Office from Sunday, June 2 through Saturday, June 8 at beautiful Red Cedar Lake, near Rice Lake in Barron County.

A preliminary meeting to discuss logistics and principles of the art camp will be held at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18 in C.A. Room 111. Persons interested in the camp are urged to attend. RANGER 9 Thursday, March 28, 1985 A pause in the disaster Behind the Sun by Rick Luehr Asst. Feature Editor Every year around Oscar time, newspapers, magazines and television are filled with interviews with Oscar nominees. I didn't feel that I had to stoop to that to get readers, so I decided not to interview these so-called "stars." (Besides, none of them would return my calls.) I decided instead that I would talk to one of the leading figures in the field of low budget films, Mr. Leon "One Take" Lipschitz. Q: Mr. Lipschitz, you claim that your movies have the lowest budgets in history. Could you clarify this? A: Well, the last film I made had a budget of $19.38. Q: How can you make films these days for so little money? A: Theft. Q: Theft? A: Yep. I steal damned near everything. Cameras, film, lights. You name it, we steal it. Q: Should you be admitting this?

But what I didn't mention is that some of my best films have been shot through motel windows, in the back seats of cars, etc. Q: In other words, your whole operation is based on... A: Blackmail. Q: All right. Now, is it true you invented the so-called "slasher" film? A: Yes, that's very true. It was back in 1953. I made a film called "Kiss the Blood Off My Sister." It was the tender story of a girl, her somewhat enfeebled brother and the family dog. Q: A dog? A: Yes.

This two-session workshop will include basic instruction, discussion and the sharing of dreams as well as practical methods to remember, record and interpret dreams and the symbols within them. A handout containing theories of dreaming, interpretation techniques and a reading list will be given each participant. Instructor John Andreozzi, of the Resource Center for Ethnic Studies and Neighborhood Organizing, has been instructed in the Jungian method of dream interpretation and has been teaching dream workshops in the Milwaukee area. The fee for this class is $10. For registration or additional information, caU 553-2312. Clapton LP hits the mark something in my films that appeals to families. In this case it was a cute, cuddly doggy. Q: And I suppose that in the end, the dog saves the heroine's life. A: No, not quite. Actually, he turns out to be a ruthless axe murderer and he chops her into little bits. This, of course, led to the sequel "A Hatful of Shirley," in which all of her pieces come to life and kill the cuddly little doggy in slow motion. It was a charming little film. Q: Sounds lovely. I recently saw one of your films "The Easter Bunny Massacre," and I was amazed at how good the special effects were, considering the low budget. A: What special effects are those? Q: The special make up in the death scenes. A: Oh, we don't use make up. Q: Then how do you achieve such realism? A: How else? We offed the actors. At the budgets we work with, I can't afford a make-up guy. Of course, we are running out of actors. Say, do you act? Q: Well I, I mean, I've done a little... A: How'd you like to be in my next film? I can see it now. You'd have a great death scene. We tie -you up and push you down a flight of stairs. Just like in "Kiss of Death."

Clapton has shown capabilities in rock (Cream, Derek and the Dominoes), straight blues ("Nobody Knows You" on the Dominoes' LP "Layla"), even reggae (his cover of Bob Marley's "I Shot the Sheriff"). He is perhaps best known as the master of a quintessential bluesrock fusion, emerging at a time when this musical combination was the rage among British rockers (The Rolling Stones and The Who in particular). Somehow Clapton manages to do effortlessly what others are struggling to accomplish. He has been capable of consistent high quality, "Behind the Sun," his latest on Warner's, yet another excellent showcase for his still impressive guitar riffs and gutsy blues-rock vo- Diamond Lif e Eric Clapton cals. "Forever Man," a danceable rocker, is the one chosen for top 40 radio, but perhaps the best cut on the album is "Something's Happening," a sixties-esque protest tune that makes a much stronger statement than any recent attempts by wimply new-wavers. The heartfelt camaraderie of the sixties experience (both musical and personal) is recalled perfectly by Clapton and, unlike recent attempts by John Fogerty or Mick Jagger, is successful in presenting itself during the eighties not sounding dated or out of place. Clapton's guitar work is especially impressive on the obligatory blues cut "Same Old Blues," while his performance of Eddie Floyd's R&B classic "Knock on Wood" puts the recent discofied Amii Stewart creeper to deserved shame. Production by Phil Collins comes to the forefront especially on the very meaningful and passionate title cut. Eric Clapton is one of the greatest rock musicians of all time. While others from his era (at a time when music really mattered) have either mellowed severely or thrown up their hands in frustration at their inability to adapt to musical and cultural changes, Clapton has maintained a firm handle on styles, statements and how to present them for maximum effect. "Behind the Sun" is definitely an LP that journeys deeper than the disc's surface grooves. Sade debuts with style by Jim Neibaur Feature Editor "Diamond Life" is the new LP by Sade (pronounced SHAR-day), featuring the passionate and intimate vocals and songwriting of Nigerian- bom Sade Adu. Jazz and blues stem from African rhythms, Sade exemplifying the early development of this sound into its present day status as an art form. Her singing quality ranges from Billie Holliday to Rickie Lee Jones: moody, eloquent and powerful. The jazz-influenced tracks are similar to last year's LP by Everything But The Girl, another impressive group to emerge from England's new musical renaissance. "Diamond Life" is presently among the top selling LP's in Great Britain. Sade's vocals are backed by the Sade Adu saxophone and guitar of co-songwriter Stuart Matthewman, who exhibits a strong understanding for this musical style with expressive playing. The mood of the tracks is further set by pianist Andrew Hale and bassist Paul Denman. Often music becomes very standardized and thus less appealing, due to its lack of depth and substance. "Diamond Life" is a very offbeat, unusual record that displays great feeling and quiet passion utilizing its jazz and blues influences, combining them with contemporary production (sans the limitations of studio electronics), making a strong and effective statement. Mellow, but not dull; sophisticated, but not pretentious; "Diamond Life" is a very effective record that is well worth seeking out. It calls attention to a new musical talent that will bear some listening with ensuing projects. UNION SQUARE GRILL DAILY SPECIALS AFTER 4:30 P.M. HOURS: 11 am-2 pm 4:30 pm-7:00 pm MON.

This, in the words of men's head basketball coach Rees Johnson, sums up Parkside's past season. The team had the best regular season record in school history with a 22-6 mark. Despite the record, however, Johnson had his share of difficulties with this team. "I didn't enjoy coaching this team as much as I've enjoyed coaching some of the other teams I've had," said Johnson. "The type of team we had was a group of individuals either searching for identity, for their position on the team or worth as a player. "At times in the year, I was really frustrated with the team because they weren't easy to coach. There were a lot of different egos, a lot of people going in different directions. It wasn't a team effort." Mark Zukley, a sophomore forward, said in regard to Johnson's comments, "I think he didn't like the attitudes on the team. There were many different and conflicting attitudes. People didn't always agree. Everybody had their own personality and it was hard to relate. "Everybody was trying to make a good impression early, because most of the people were new, and everybody was looking out for themselves instead of the team." Robert Jones, a center, didn't feel there was a problem, however. "The coach felt there was one so there had to be changes," said Jones. Junior forward Arthur "Jay" Rundles agreed with Jones and added, "Everybody got along pretty good." Jones said, "Coach's comments brought us together as a team and Two Great Places All Rolled Into One Package A look back at a winning team made us do things more efficiently. "When coach came down on us, it gave us an incentive to play harder," added junior forward Cornell Saddler. In spite of the team attitude, Johnson said, "The biggest disappointment was how long it took the team to get together. "At Christmas time, we were really close, then we got set back by the southern trip and then coming home and getting beat by Stevens Point." Another disappointment was the lack of a team goal during the middle months of the season. "Not being in a conference race, you really don't have a hell of a lot to shoot for. All you can do is wait for tournament time," said Johnson. There were two turning points last season, according to Johnson. One was the Dec. 22 game against Green Bay. "We beat a team that's (NCAA) Division I — even though they're not a great one — by eig ht points at their place. That was a heck of a victory for us. It was our biggest test of the season at that point. It let our guys know they really were a good team." The other turning point was a three-game winning streak when the Rangers beat Oshkosh, Purdue- Calumet and Northeastern Illinois. "That stretch was important for us, to get our momentum going again," said Johnson. For the most part, however, Johnson praised his team's play and steady improvement throughout the season. "By the end of the year, culminating with the Eau Claire game, I was really quite pleased and proud of how much progress was made as far as team play was concerned. I think they made a lot of progress. t vo \Cen°s 2°d st" INSIDE MM MID-TOWN LOUNGE SPT» W*G5 Snacks, Pizza & Sandwiches Monday - All You Can Eat Chicken Wings For Carry Outs Call 658-8788 The teams we had before, with (Erik) Womeldorf and Rundles were pretty solid, but they were .500 teams. Now, all of a sudden they know they are a 22-7 team. They learned that they can really win." The Rangers' play late in the season has left Johnson with great anticipation for next season. "I wish the season started tomorrow. "We're going to be a very good team next year. Not only do we have talent and maturity, we have that experience. Now, they know what they have to do, what kind of togetherness they have to have. "They (team members) know the demands that are put on them and what's expected of them. They will be much more willing to do them next year, because they've been on the firing line this year." The players also are looking forward to next season. "We've got all the players coming back (except for seniors Womeldorf, Stan Cameron and Dave Sergeant), and I know we're going to win this district (NAIA District 14)," said Zukley. "Next year we'll be more united. I think we'll be killing teams instead of just beating them." Jones added, "I feel pretty confident about this team. We have a great chance of making it to the national tournament, because of returnees like Dennis Davis, Rundles, Vince Hall and Saddler. I'm sure they will be hungry enough to go after the title." Johnson feels the team's nucleus will be intact, though it'll lose three members. "This will be Rundles' fourth year, and Davis will be a senior. Saddler has matured extremely well. We have other young men, like Zukley, Jones and Mike Henderson, who have an awful lot of potential. "How much they mature in six months from now we'll know when we open up our season. We also have a couple of guys who have been delayed, like Dan Carrera and Jeff Rhodes. "When I was at the National tournament in Kansas City, people were asking the Stevens Point people who was going to be tough in their district. They said Parkside.

They love to play for a point. They play that point out. I like that," said Dick Frecka, coach of this year's men's tennis team. After over three weeks of practice, Frecka has a good idea of what his team looks like. "I would say that ability-wise, we should be stronger than we were last year. This year we've got good balance. The top six players are going to be pretty close. Number one probably won't beat number six more than 6- 2 or 6-3." The top six players are third-year man Art Shannon, first-year men Chris Schuleit, Tom Hermes, Dan Hyatt, Dave Hyatt and Tom Pacetti, and second-year man Frank Mejia. Second-year men Alan Elsmo, Brian Langenbach and Mike Roszkowski and first-year men Dan Kitzmann and Keith Strand complete the twelve-man squad. With the exception of a few warm days, the majority of practices have been indoors, squeezing twelve players onto three courts. Securing gym time is a problem because tennis has to share the gym with baseball, softball and track. "It's hard sometimes to get the players to come at the times the gym is available. We're not alone; the other sports have had the same problem," said Frecka. Practicing inside can also present adjustment problems. Frecka said the biggest adjustment problem is lighting. "Outdoors you see the ball so much better. The disadvantages of outside courts are temperature, wind and surface factor. The outdoor courts are also much slower than the indoor courts." Whether inside or out, the men will be tough. "This year we have experience. If everybody stays healthy, we'll be all right." Meet famous athletes• and more — join the Ranger Staff. WLLC-D139A. Although the team is twelve players strong and only six can play at any given time, Frecka said he likes big teams. "I don't like to cut. I've had players who didn't make the top six in their freshman year and in their senior year they were playing one, two and three. They had the ability; they just didn't have the experience." In addition to the team's ability, their attitude will affect their success. "The attitude of the team seems to be pretty positive. Everybody's pumped up about the drills and there is no negative chatter. Mejia and Shannon decided not to take full-time jobs, and their presence on the team will add some depth," said Hermes. Frecka looks for a positive team attitude, also. "My main concern is not whether we win each match, but that individuals become a team and show consideration for one another." A tennis player himself, Frecka knows what it takes to become a winner and gives advice and encouragement to his players. "I tell them, win if you can, get beat if you must, but don't lose. "There's a difference. If you go out there and you're hitting good shots and your opponent is hitting better shots and winning points, you're not losing to him. But, if you go out there and the person on the other side of the net isn't as good as you are, and you're hitting the ball into the net, then you're losing to your opponent — h e's not beating you." The men have their first meet Tuesday, April 2 against Carroll College at 3 p.m. on the Parkside courts. Wrestlers are disappointed in NAIA National Tournament The wrestling team, seeded seventh in the nation, placed 24th in the NAIA National Tournament held in Jamestown, North Dakota March 7-9. Six wrestlers competed in the tournament, but only two left with Ail-American honors. "I thought we wrestled much poorer than what we were capable of," said Coach Jim Koch. "If these boys would have wrestled close to their seeds, probably we would have placed seventh." Individual seedings were Jack Danner-134 lbs.-ninth; Mark Dubey- 142 lbs.-ninth; Mike Muckerheide- 158 lbs.-fourth; Todd Yde-167 lbs.- fourth. Ted Keyes, 177 lbs., and Craig Patz, 190 lbs., were seeded third in their weight classes. Yde wrestled all the way to the semi-finals before losing to Howard Seay from Central State University, Oklahoma, 2-1. Seay went on to win second place honors in his weight class. Yde wrestled to fifth place in his weight class, which earned him Ail-American honors. Muckerheide, who also won All- American honors, wrestled to the quarter-finals and lost to Eric Lujan from the University of Southern Colorado, 16-6. In this match, Muckerheide hurt his shoulder, prompting Koch to default him out of the tournament. Muckerheide also won Academic All-American with a 3.6 GPA. "He could possibly have wrestled back for as high as third place. That hurt us, but his health is obviously more important than our placement," said Koch. Keyes, who missed All-American status, also won Academic All- American, with a 3.0 GPA. Koch said the team's finish was a personal disappointment because his team has in the past finished among the top ten.

After coaching and teaching for five years at a Big 10 School (University of Illinois), Dannehl wanted to move away from "things associated with big time athletics." Dannehl said, of "big time" schools: "They (student athletes) get a false sense of how important they are and I don't like that. That's part of our culture. "When kids get to think they're more important than the program, they're missing the whole point. That's why I never get too concerned about spectators." Dannehl settled into the small school atmosphere the same day the physical education building opened its doors. With this move came some changes. "The first year we spent a lot of time just getting the heat and water on." But another major change which occurred under Dannehl's direction was the inclusion of women's athletics on the college level. "We felt fairly proud that we were one of the first schools in the state, as well as in the nation, to have those opportunities for women." The only obstacle faced, said Dannehl, dealt with money. "That's by Steve Kratochvil Ken "Red" Oberbruner, the head coach of the Parkside baseball team, has done it all, from getting inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame to playing professional basketball and baseball. Oberbruner was born in Ashland, Wisconsin, where he excelled in several sports at DePadua High School. But baseball was his specialty. Toward the end of his high school career, Oberbruner had to choose between playing pro baseball and going to college; he opted for the latter. Oberbruner graduated from Notre Dame in 1940. "While I was at Notre Dame, I played professional basketball for the Pistons. You could do that back in those days." After graduation, Oberbruner played pro baseball for Fort Wayne, a team affiliated with the Cleveland Indians. He went on to play with the Boston Braves as shortstop and center fielder. His basketball career ended after the attack on Pearl Harbor, when he was drafted into the army. "I was really coming into my own at that point," said Oberbrunner. "When I got back I realized that I didn't have it any more." Unable to play competitively, Oberbruner got into the coaching field. He returned to Wisconsin in 1946 to help manage the Beloit team of the Central Wisconsin League. A "In addition to being the chief administrator of this unit. I put up with what they call the human side of the enterprise. All the nitty gritty problems that occur between persons end up here. " -Wayne Dannehl not to say we haven't had money for the programs, but when you add eight or nine women's sports, it involves a lot of money. "We really operate on a terribly low budget. If I had to do it over again, I would probably go for a lot more money to support the programs." Besides creating new programs, however, Dannehl is involved with administration.' "I'm responsible for the operation of the building, the phy ed, inyear later he was hired at Milton College, where he would spend the next 23 years in charge of the coaching duties for football, basketball and baseball. Oberbruner became the baseball coach at Parkside in 1970. " I came here primarily due to A1 Dearborn. He was dean of students at Milton before he took a similar position here. It was his influence that caused me to consider Parkside." Oberbruner signed 21 players to professional baseball contracts. His son, Jamey, a former Ranger, is one of them. "Speaking as a coach and not as a father, Jamey was probably the best player I ever coached," he said. "Jamey had all the tools to be in the big leagues. But he got caught in a numbers game and was released by Pittsburgh. It's really a shame he never got a good shot at it. "If Jamey had made it, I would have been the happiest guy in the world. That would have made everything complete, darn it." Oberbruner was recently elected into the Wisconsin High School Coaches Hall of Fame though he never coached a high school team. "Making the Hall of Fame is really something special to me. When I look back on all that has happened, it makes reaching the Hall of Fame something very special. "I'm directly connected with high schools. I recruit the boys for tramural and athletic programs, fund raising and making sure people stay within their budgets." The budgets have been met in all of Dannehl's 13 years. Included in the regular administrative affairs is Dannehl's duty to the community. He is presently involved in the Rotary Club and Kenosha Night at the Brewers. "As a member of Parkside's community, I also work in the local communities. That's kind of an obligation of the job, although I Ken "Red" Oberbruner college and help them get their degrees. Then I try to develop their skills for a professional contract. "I'm here at Parkside because I like people, college students in particular. I like to watch them grow academically and athletically. They should realize, however, that getting their degree is the most important thing." Oberbruner's name is in the Hank Aaron display at Milwaukee County Stadium, he has played against the Globetrotters and the list just goes on for Oberbruner, now 67 a nd a semi-retired teacher and coach. "I guess you could say I'm kind of a bird dog for the Pittsburgh Pirates, too," he said, referring to his casual scouting duties for the major league club. "I got a call the other day. The Brewers are looking for a pitching coach. Jamey would make a heck of a coach." don't mind doing it. "It also helps us, because when we need help, people are willing to come to us and help because we've been helping the community." Though Dannehl spends part of his time dealing with outside groups, most of his hours are spent dealing with inside problems. Just a few of the difficulties encountered range from recruiting new athletes to finding funding for post-season play. "Recruiting is a 'great chore' as a commuter campus. It's much more difficult from an administrative point of view than it is on a resident campus." Despite the difficulties, Parkside manages to produce athletes good enough to go to Nationals. Traveling and playing at Nationals, however, costs money, money which is not funded. Through the years, Dannehl has had to find ways to raise that money. "Our kids do quite well athletically, considering everything. It's a tribute to our kids and to the coaching. I got to figure out how the heck we're going to pay for all this stuff." "In addition to being the chief administrator of this unit, I put up with what they call the human side of the enterprise. All t he nitty gritty problems that occur between The seventh annual Whitewater Half-Marathon and simultaneous Four Mile Run will be held Sunday, May 5. Sponsored by Whitewater's Army ROTC Detachment and supported by Company 'E,' 2nd Battalion (TLAT), Wisconsin Army National Guard, the races will begin at 10 a.m. at the intersection of Prairie Street and Starin Road on Whitewater's campus. For the certified 13.1 mile Half- Marathon, trophies will go to the male and female winners. Medals will be awarded to the first three persons end up here." Dannehl welcomes each day with the knowledge it will be filled with challenge. He accepts the challenge thrown at him daily. One goal he has for the future of Parkside is an aerobic program with weight training. With this program. Dannehl hopes to bring more people out to the physical education building to use it. "We're (Dannehl and coach. Steve Stephens) chasing around trying to convince the people who have the money that we should expend this kind of money trying to involve more people in the program." All this effort coincides with Dannehl's hope to open the facilities to more people (students and faculty, as well as student-athletes). Dannehl is also working on making the gym a "street shoe" gymnasium, in which students have easy access to the gym. "Intramurals don't fly in a commuter school," said Dannehl. Instead, Dannehl sees the "street shoe" gymnasium replacing or supplmenting intramurals for those students who come and go. Dannehl is content with his position, saying he's in an ideal place. Dannehl can see through the murkiness of the daily dilemmas with a positive outlook. finishers in each of the following classes: male age 18 and under, 19- 24, 25-34, 35-39, 40-49 and age 50 and over; female, same as male, except the last class is 40 and over.

Announcing his resignation May, 8, Dannehl, UW-Parkside athletic director since 1972, will take a leave of absence during the 1991-92 academic year to prepare for his return to the classroom. He will continue to coordinate several national cross country championships scheduled for UW-Parkside this fall. His teaching responsibilities will include direction of new programs in wellness activities in the department's Physical Fitness Center and coordination of the universities coaching certification program. As for why he is stepping down, "I got tired of doing everything, battling budgets and trying to oversee every single activity. I would like to spend time enjoying life more and getting back to teaching," said Dannehl Dannehl will spend the next academic year visiting other universities and learning how they run Wayne Dannehl their Physicial Fitness Center's in order to be well prepared to ensure UW-Parkside's is the best he can make it. In 1972 Dannehl came to UW-Parkside from the University of Illinois where he was an assistant professor of physical education and a football coach. Respected by those in the University as well as outside of it, Dannehl has served a president of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) at both state and national levels. He was elected to the NAIA Hall of Fame, as well as to the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Hall ofFame. In 1990 he was named to the United States Olympic Committee. Dannehl has many years of memories and things in the department which he is proud of as well of things about the department which are disappointing to him. He mentions the many athletes which have had great success at UW-Parkside, "I'm proud we have produced 400 All-American athletes and 65 individual Natioual Champions." Under his direction, the university also produced the premier Cross Country course in the United States. "I am extremely proud of designing, developing and implementing the Cross Country course, one that we basically hacked out of the woods." He has brought national acclimation to UW-Parkside by his organization of many national competitions held in Kenosha. His latest such dealing was scheduling the TAC (the governing body in track and field in the United States) Cross Country Meet to be held at UW-Parkside in November of 1992.

Baseball gem retires from diamond By TED McINTYRE Asst. Sports Editor After 21 years of coaching, and a lifetime of dedication to the sport, Ken "Red" Oberbrunner, has retired from the head coaching postition with the UW-Parkside Baseball team. Oberbrunner, a true gem on the baseball diamond, leaves behind him a legacy of competitive teams, insightful knowledge of the game and great passionforthesport Oberbrunner retired from the position after a turbulent season which saw him in and out of the hospital during the year with heart problems. His retirement was an agreementbetween himself and the athletic department which encouraged Red to give up the postition. "It was a mutual deal, we both agreed that it was time for me to retire." Oberbrunner said about stepping down. . Oberbrunner, who started die UW-Parkside baseball program from scratch in 1970, compiled a record of 332-229 in his 21 years with the Rangers he is also the seventh ranked NCAA Division II baseball coach in wins. Red, born October 5,1918 in Ashland WI attended DePadua, a private Catholic High School of hbout 70 students where he earned a scholarship to Notre Dame University to play baseball and basketball. After graduating from Notre Dame with a Phylosophy and history degree, he was talented enough in sports to sign a professional baseball contract and was drafted into pro basketball by the Ft Wayne (now the Detroit) Pistons. He played baseball in the IndianaOhio league as a shortstop and an outfielder. When the second World War began, Red left the courts and fields of professional sports do serve in the Army while stationed in the Pacific Ocean for three years. Upon his return, Red realized he had passed by his playing days and like many other soldiers returning from the war went looking for work. In the fall of 1947 Red took a job at Milton College as the Athletic Director, football, baseball and basketball coach as well as teaching classes. "I always knew I wanted to coach," stated Oberbrunner. He attended summer classes at the University of Wisconsin Madison and earned his Masters of Science Degree. He stayed at Milton until 1970 when he came to UW-Parkside. During this time Red somehow found time to marry his wife Ruth and successfully raise six children, five boys and a girl. While Red * s accomplishments are incredible enough, even more tremendous is the positive outlook and strong philosophy he has developed in his career. "I've always loved being around the athletes. To me they are the most important people because I'm student oriented. I have always felt that we (faculty) are dependant on them not the other way around," said Oberbrunner of his outlook on the game. Red's love for the game came accross in all that he did as did his care for his players. "My job was to give them a purpose in life and direction. I always tried to teach that reality is not in failing, but that reality was in getting up after you fail." Adored by his players and admired by his peers, Oberbrunner will be forever remembered in not only the record books, but also in various halls of fame. Red is cursee "Red" B4 Parkside Softball teams have qualified for the NAIA National Tournament eight times. Over the past 14 years, 15 of her players have been selected All-Americans 24 times. In 1990, Draft was named Coach of the Year by the NAIA National Softball Coaches Association (NSCA). Previously, she was named coach-of-the-year by the Wisconsin Women's Intercollegiate Athletic Conference for both softball and volleyball. Draft also has served on the Pan American Softball Team Selection Committee and the United States Olympic Sports Festival. "Linda's own coaching manifests a tradition of excellence which is integral to die success of operation a first-rate athletic athletic department," John Stockwell, vice chancellor at UW-Parkside, said. "We have great confidence in Linda and her ability to maintain quality athletic programs in conjunction with strong academic standards." Draft, holds an undergraduate degree in mathematics and physical education from Hope College, Holland, Michigan and a master's degree in athletic administration and coaching from Michigan State University, Lansing, Michigan. Draft, who lives in Racine, played basketball and volleybal at Hope College. Draft said that herp lans in her first year as athletic director will not be to shake things up but to maintain the high level they are on, "It will be a transition year, we will try to accomplish day to day achievements. While Dannehl had department chair and athleticd epartment duties, Draft will have just athletic duties as she will continue to coach Softball. Steve Stephens will be the department chair for academic concerns. Golfers finish 11th at NAIA By TED McINTYRE Asst. Sports Editor In its first ever national competition, the UW-Parkside Ranger Golf team finished a respectable 11th out of the thirty three team field at the 1991 NAIA Golf Championship held at Twin Hills Golf and Country Club in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma May 21-24. The Rangers had to endure unusual rainy weather for the four day event which caused theg reens to be slow but friendly during die competition. The team arrived Sunday night and had a Monday practice time of 2:50 in the afternoon. After head coach Steve Stevens had prepared his team, Tuesday was the day the Rangers would put behind them a season which saw UW-Parkside take first place in four of the five meets and also, hopefully, put aside any nerves. The scoringformatfor the tournament was that each team would use their best four scores for that day out of their five golfers. The Rangers would rely on the quintet of Marie Schneider, Steve Gerber, Tom Agazzi, Paul Connell and Joe Dahlstrom who would represent District 14 of the NAIA. Monday, day one saw UWPaikside shoot a 313 for 18 holes. North Florida blazed to the top of the leader board with a 297. The closest second was Hardin- Simmons TX, seven back, with a 304 for the first 18. Day two was crucial for the Rangers. For it was following the second round that half the field would be cut The Rangers, behind Paul ConnelTs 77 advanced with a 316 score. With half the field cut, day three, Wednesday, UW-Parkside shot a solid 310. This following a two and a half hour rain delay in usually sunny Oklahoma. North Florida once again lead along with host Oklahoma City, each team shot a 304 for the day. Day four was a problem day for the Rangers as they may have tried to make up too much ground in the tournaments final day. Tom "the Gamecock" Agazzi saved the day for UW-Parkside with a strong 74-the Rangers best individual effort for the tournament The Rangers finished the round with a collective 319 their worst of the four days. North Florida ran away with the tournament with a 1200 for the four days. Host Oklahoma City was a distant second with a 1221. UW-Parkside sewed a 1258 to finish 11th. Coach Stevens expressed his feelings on the team's efforts. "I was happy with how we played. Nobody got really hot but they all played solid and contributed," said Stevens. As for the season, Stevens was also happy. "The season was super. Until Nationals, we only lost one tournament The kids played well and worked hard." Dannehl from B1 Former Athletic Director will return to teaching "I'm also proud that we were able to raise enough cash to pay for the post season play and to support our programs. Academically, our kids have good grades. There has been a significant change in the past ten years, we've stressed and emphasized that the academics comes first" Dannehl has gotten by on a less than adequate budget "We've skimped scraped and gotten by on less than some of our sister schools and some of them are in debt" He also mentioned pride in being NAIA President for die 1989-1990 year. Dannehl, who turned 54 in May also mentioneds everal disappointing things about the job as athletic director. "One thing is that our facility is out moded, it is too small and there is no indoor track which hurts recruiting and makes it impossible to train for the indoor season. And what really bothered me is thawt e have never been able to convince people that budgets under which we operate area joke." People all around the university respected Dannehl for what he has done in the past 19 years. "Wayne has built and maintained throughout the years an athletic program characterized by high standards of ethics, academics and competitiveness," Sheila Kaplan, UW-Parkside chancellor, said. "Will miss his leadership."

Pitsoulakis Guest Writer Have you ever wondered what some of the University ofWisconsin- Parkside students were doing on Innerloop Rd. at four o'clock in the afternoon with the temperature 30 below zero wearing only tights, a sweatshirt and racing flats? The answer... racewalking. Racewalking is an aerobic exercise in which contact with the ground must be maintained at all times. This differentiates racewalking from running. The lead foot must touch the ground before the rear foot leaves the ground. The supporting leg must be straight when it passes under the body. Racewalking events have been part of the Olympic Games since 1900. The distances varied in the early years, but have been set at 20 km.(12.4 mi.) and 50km.(31.1 mi.) for men. Elite men average 6:30 per mile over the 20 km. Olympic distance, and approach 7:00 per mile over 50 km. Women average 7:00 per irtile for 10 km.(6.21 mi.) Parkside's racewalking team is composed of athletes from Wisconsin, Indiana, New Jersey and New York. The team is currently ranked the number one college in the United States for racewalking at the National level for male and female juniorwalkers (under age 20). They are also ranked number one in the country for the Open, in which Within this framework, anyone who meets the qualifying J »a«V UIWI0 UiV \| raccwalkers efficiently pump their standard Ume may cn|cr anns in coordination with each step, Urst year a. the National Athproducingasmoothandfluidsiritte. lelic Ialer Collegiate ^ uw The following is Ken "Red" Oberbrunner's letter of resignation to the Athletic Department Dear Dr. Wayne Dannehl and all UW-Parkside faculty and alumni, When a Man does something for long enough, it becomes a part of him, and he becomes a part of it For 44 years, I have been a baseball coach. In that span, my teams have become as much of a reflection on me, as I have become a part of baseball. With my first team in 1947 until now, I have looked for certain types of players who could do certain things. I looked for chemistry in a squad, with spirit to push it forward. I looked for players who are good to each other, and who play for each other, to spin the right mix. There are always a few players out there with questionable work habits, a few who are thoroughly complacent, and a few who seriously believe they are better than tifcy really are. Those are the players who destroy team unity. Players must like each other, and not hare in back stabbing, envy, petty ealously, sulking, or sniping. Put imply, it is impossible to get a earn effort out of a group that is a team in name only. With intensity and proper beliefs, problem s of that can front a team that is a team, will disappear. In 1970,1 came to UWParkside after compiling a 225-94 record in 23 years at Milton college. Since I've been here, I have never had to fear about my job. I have been able to put teams on the field which represented UWParkside and all it stands forT. his has always been my utmost goal in teaching baseball. In its very nature, coaching is teaching. You must work very hard to develop the skills of throwing, hitting, fielding, and running in your program. Before a player learns, he must listen. He must listen to the coach preach the fundamentals, he must try them, he must learn them, and he must practice them until they become second nature. Once that happens, half the battle is won, because baseball is 50% mental, 50% physical. Once the fundamentals are mastered, the mental part must be mastered. A player must beable tot hink of what he is doing and the situation in which he is doing it To have that special state of mind and body when everything happens positively and Parkside's team swept the top six All-American places out of 19 athletes participating in the race. This year Parkside's team has the ability and potential to take the top eight places,t he most alb wedf rom any one school. The two distances in which Parkside's team strives for are the 10km. and the 20km. Robert Cole and Tim Seaman of Parkside have walked a six minute mile. This time is faster than most people would hope to run. U.W.Parkside has produced two Olympic caliber athletes, Jim Hiring of the 1980,1984, and 1988 Olympics and Andy Kestner of the 1988 Olympics. At the helm of all of this success stands the coach, MikeDeWitL He is the reason U.W.Parkside is at this superior national level DeWitt began the program in the early 1980'sand has progressed steadily since then. He himself is a effortlessly. Greatness, however, is not just a matter of team chemistry, mastery of the fundamentals, and state of mind. Just as a meal is nota meal until the chef mixes all the ingredients, a team cannot achieve greatness until the coach mixes all the ingredients. Baseball as a game of critical decisions that are called atc ritical moments of a game. It is the coach which makes these decisions, and the coach who sinks or swims with them. When an evaluation of the coach is made, it is usually atone of these critical moments. If the problems of a team are caused by the coach, and the perceptions ofa nybody evaluating the team's problems point them to the coach, then a change should be made. But, if they are not caused by the coach, it would be unfair during this period of time to make the change. I have always said to my players, that when I feel I have nothing to offer diem, it is time for me to give up coaching. I love baseball and the challenge it presents. I always look forward to the next day and tiiedesires of competing. While the time is far from now when I will have nothing to offer my players, dedicated racewalker and walks with the team every day through all types of weather, while making sure that practices are completed correctly by his athletes. *Ali Dewitt, of UW-Parkside's racewalking team says, "I feel that DeWitt is a good coach, because by practicing with the team, he stays young. Some people mights ee turn a strict coach, but that's only because he's interested in his team and if something is lacking from one's racewalking, he triesto help them out "Part of the reason why we have such agood program at UW-Parkside is because coach (DeWitt) trains with us and that is something special that not many peoplehave,"Tim Seaman. "Coach (DeWitt) is one of the greatestcoaches in the country, simple because his athletes have alot of confidence in him," Rob Cole. "RED" from B2 Coach recalls his most fond baseball clubs rently honored in the Milton College Hall of Fame, The Wisconsin High School Assocation of Coaches Hall of Fame, the National Collegiate Athletic Association Hall of fame and will soon be inducted into the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame. Oberbrunner coached competitively year after year and recalls his favorite teams. His 1980 club, by far his best, had three players sign major league contracts, one of whom was his son Jamie. More recently Red recalls his 1988-89ball team which won 19 games and graduated 14 players. "It was the frosting on the cake to have good ballplayers and good students," added Red. The ultimate example of team spirit, Red explains his biggest thrill in all his years of coaching, "The biggest reward is to see that I have helped the kids achieve the goals they wanted to accomplish." in this time of reorganization in the UW-Paikside Athletic Department, I feel it is in my best interest to step down as baseball coach of the UWParkside Rangers. Yes, I will miss coaching and UW-Parkside quite a bit. I've developed many friendships and personal contacts with other administrators and officials. But, what I will miss most, is seeing my players and teams develop and mature as they move toward graduation. I will miss the learning I get everyday from being involved with baseball, for I have been a student as well as a coach for the past 44 years. In the 21 years I have been a coach here, my teams have put together a 332-229 record, giving me an overall career mark of 657- 323 between 1947-1991. I have seen three of my children graduate from UW-Parkside. I'vehadateam win 19 games in a row, a player who struck out 18 consecutive batters, ap layer who hito ver .500 ina season, and a player who hit two grand slam home runs in one day. More important, however, is what I've learned in980gamesof coaching. Players who play are happy farwell players. Those that don't are ui happy, that never changes. As coach, you just try to give them i much playing time as you can. Yo try to give them an opportunity t prove whether orn ot theyc an pla; For aplayer, true motivation come from within. A coach must show t the individual the importance c the time and effort that is needed t excel. Mature players understan this. It is the great teams whic have highly matured individual with lofty goals. As I leave the program at UW Parkside, I do not worry about il success in wins and losses. Insteac I worry about thep rogram, and th kids I brought here as players. Base ball at UW-Parkside is a prograr built on solid ground, and the ath letes who have entered that pro gram deserve the opportunity t play the game they love.T he sam game that has been the embodi ment of my life for so many yean A game which gives back every thing that a person puts inA. gam which will always be a part of me God Bless and Good Luck.

The orientation leaders were selected on their abilities to work with students, their knowledge of Parkside and the surrounding communities, their campus involvement communicational skills, and their dedication to the University. The leaders are responsible for creating a comfortable atmosphere and environment for incoming students. The Orientation leaders also serve as role models for the new students. They will help in advising and scheduling, discuss campus issues, and answer the students most puzzling questions. This year's orientation leaders are determined to make orientation as fun and excitingas they know campus life can be. They will also be trying to relieve the anxiety and pressures that these students feel as they enter the University and take on the responsibilities of being on their own. The 1991 Summer Orientation Leaders staff includes: Yolanda Jackson, Tina Gosey, George Yee, Patrick Kochanski, Barbi Keller, Sara Anderson, David Madrigal, and Michele Cortez. This year's Orientation Clerk is Brad Roschyk; responsible for processing orientation applications and organizing the information needed to help the sessions run smoothly. Brad will also work directly with the orientation leaders as well as the new students. He is directly responsible for getting the students to commit and present themselves at the orientation sessions. The group of nine students recently went through orientation training and learned how to work with each other as well as how to work with the new students. The Orientation leaders have planned a DJ. dance along with free bowling in the Rec. Center for the students social time. For additional fun and excitement they have planned a scavengerhunt that includes prizes during the students social time. F.O.C.U.S.-*91, which stands for "First-year Orientation: a Commitment to Undergraduate Success", is structured to provide the students with valuable information to ease the transition to the University experience. There will be four two-day orientation sessions throughout the summer June 20 - 21, July 25 - 26, August 8-9, and August 20 - 21. There will also be three adult (non-traditional) orientation sessions held: June 29, July Non-tradional student support by Tod McCarthy Did you say you're a newly enrolled non-traditional student at UW-Parkside? Do many of your entry experiences make you feel a bit out of place or out of step? You're not alone and its not necessarily your fault College has long been considered a stepping stone for the priveleged youth in society, but in actuality, a degree is becoming a necessity, rather than a luxury for a majority of positions in a multitude of occupations. As a result many more adults are finding college to be an essential element to becoming economically and socially successful. The system is sometimes slow to change to meet new student needs. If emphasis appears to you to be centered on traditional student needs and concerns, you have just made a relatively accurate assessment of the situation. The problem is not you—the majority of students enrolled at this university are older, non-traditional students. Effective change never happens quickly and seldom occurs without a substantial effort from the affected constituency. Knowledge of what is happening, what could happen, and of what others are experiencing is critical for any individual seeking to improve his or her world. Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA), located in the D-l level of WLLC next to the Coffee Shoppe, can provide you with useful information on what other nontraditional students are doing to improve the perception and value of older students by the power structure at UW-Parkside. During the upcoming semester, the Ranger will also be printing a series of columns aimed at the non-traditional student and issues affecting that majority population of this university. Keep in touch with others, express whatever interest you have in altering conditions to all who will listen, and become involved with organizations that can make changes improving the quality of education and life while you are here. Sitting home brooding about it or complaining to a few friends over a beer won't help. Welcome to UW-Parkside. You've paid your dues before and you deserve the most satisfying educational you can receive. You may have to fight for it and you and your family may have to make a few more sacrifices, but don't forget—you're not alone.

I want to welcome all of the new incoming students to OUR University. Despitewhat you may hear to the contrary, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Campus is one of the finest, if not the finest, academic institutions of learning in the U.W. System. As 1 have previously stated, this University does not have to take a "back seat" toa nyone. The educational facilities that exist on this campus will enable you to receive a quality education you can be proud erf. It is up to YOU. For those erf you who do not take the tune to read the University Catalog or the brochures and other publications that the University provides, the following information gives a brief explanation of how this campus operates. This campus isorganizalionally structured into threep rimary areas: administrative, academic, and supporting staff. The administrative offices are located on the upper floors of Wyllie Library Learning Center. The administration is responsible for the day to day operation of this campus. The chief executive officer on this campus is Chancellor Sheila Kaplan. The administration is subdivided into four areas: academic affairs, student affairs, administrative and fiscal affairs, and university relations. Academic Affairs is directed i by the Vice-Chanceilor. The other three areas are beaded by Assistant Chancellors. The academic structure is composed of four schools: die School of Liberal Arts, the School of Education, the School of Science and Technology, and the School of Business, (the order of importance into which they are placed is my own personal opinion) T he four Schoolsa re administered by the Deans of each School. The Schools are located in the various buildings in die main complex; Molinaro Hall, Greenquist Hall, and the Communication Arts Building, which are all inter-connected. The supporting staff (critical to the operations) is composed of administrative staff, faculty staff, and maintenance staff. You will find that developing a co-operative relationship with the staff will be beneficial to you. Have a successful year, and an enjoyable "college experience". By: Jim Voss The college experience proves again and again to be many things to many different people. For those of us involved in student organizations it is one in which our involvement works to enrich the academic studies we participate in each day. Being involved at school is all about each and every one of us doing so to enhance the value of our education. Semester after semester students wisely select to spend varying amounts of their time out of class working in student organizations, and working on the pursuit of certain organizational goals. When students choose also to look upon theseclubs, sports teams, associations, and organizations as opportunities to practice the things they are learning in their classes, they are now working on the pursuit of their personal goals. The combination of pursuing both these goals is facilitated by the Student Activities Director, Diane Welsh, the Student Activities Adviser, Mary Ellen Wesley, and the various student leaders. This cooperative facilitation ultimately makes for the betterment of the entire university. For example, when a Communication Major who is a member of the Student Organizations Council arrives at a meeting after attending a class in Organizational Communication, this student is entering the meeting with the chance to apply studied theory. When a business finance major is allowed to plot out financial projections for the upcoming year of The Paikside Activities Board's live entertainment committee, this student is growing to see the literal use of what studied books prescribe. When an art student interested in graphic arts and photography joins "The. Ranger" as a photographer, the student is beginning to develop the skills necessary to secure internships and apprenticeships that may one day lead to a job in that field. The political science student who works to serve students and support their rights as part of The Parkside Student Government Association or part of The Parkside Adult Student Alliance may one day find a niche working in local, state, or federal government serving the constituents of a community. These are just a fewe xamples of ho w students manage to enhance their education through involvement This enhancement is found in the fact that students involved handle projects and jobs not as isolated academ ic assignments, but as tasks that are integral to the procedural operation of working organizations. It is through hands on experiences of this nature that students come to love the combination of work and learning essential to successful careers. As a matter of fact, it is often useful for students to adopt the attitude that the kinds of things they do in student organizations are preparation forlifeafterschool. Thinking of theentire campus community as customers,The Ranger" and WLBR as two main forms of media, the student government as an organization that monitors the fair and just serving of the students, and The Parkside Activities Board and clubs as businesses with THE PARKSIDE UNION RECREATION CENTER INVITES YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE WEEKEND PASS FREE BOWLING TABLE TENNIS POOL TABLE SOCCER DARTS Only $25.00 Pass is valid on Saturdays, Noon - 7pm and Sundays, Noon - 10pm durinc Fall anH c • o To purchase a pass or for more information, stop by the Union office.

They can best suit themselves up for 'what's out there' by modeling an organizational world of responsibility after the real one they will soon be entering. The Board of Governors often leads the way in doing so harmoniously withi n the u niversity. When we start school some of us know what we want to major in, and some of us do not For those of us who know exactly what we want to major in and what career we would like to get into, the process ofdailydevelopmentalmostcomes natural to us. For those of us who enter school and are not quite sure yet, working on our academic studies while working in a student organization brings about a unique alternation of work and study periods that provoke thought indispensable to making that decision. It is here where many students best come to see how they compare to other students and their skills. We can assess our competence, rate our abilities, and know where we stand in certain skill areas by measuring them through comparison with others interested in doing so as well. This process of assessment is vital for students so that they become aware of their strongest capabilities. This assists them in best marketing themselves to employers. Often times the selection of a career path is stimulated by discovering the kinds of skills and abilities that we have an inclination to as a result of past experiences and that we become most aware of through comparisons of ourpresentwork performance with others. Those talentsw e pursue for life are most often chosen, and most rightly so by recognizing our competence at them through comparison with others' competence. The combination of doing so in classes, student organizations, and through continuous research on students that successfully do so in other universities makes for great students,great employment candidates, andagreat university.

Los Angeles, CA 90025 June 17,1991 Ranger, Page 25 It just takes a little effort by Dave Doherty What is life like at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside? This was my first question when I took that long walk down the main hallway during freshman orientation. Coming from Stevens Point, Wisconsin I really didn'teven know where UW-Parkside was until the summer before my freshman year. I had been in contact with thet rack coach a t UW-Parkside had convinced me to attend freshman orientation. When I first saw the school I was in shock.. The school looked like my high school. Even the color of the brick was similar. I couldn't find a McDonalds anywhere and found out UW-Parkside didn't even have a football team. How could I even consider going to this school? After I got over this initial shock, I took a closer look at the school. Hie campus was really beautiful. In fact I had visited schools in California, Colorado, Iowa, Florida,Missouri, Michigan, and Washington and I am convinced that UW-Parkside had the most beautiful campus. The academic programs seemed to be strong, but w hat about the social life? This is where my orientat ion leader came in. I honestly don't even remember her name, but she managed to convince me that with a little effort, UW-Parkside could be a very enjoyable college experience. To make things easy for those of you who are just starting out at UW-Parkside I have provided you with a few tips to help you enjoy school. For entering freshman there are many opportunities to get involved in campus activities, which is the first step in ensuring an active social life at UW-Parkside. Since UW-Parkside is mainly a commuter school it is sometimes hard to meet new people. Being involved in a campus organization is an easy way to make new friends. Those students who will be living in university housing have a big advantage for you can always find a party in the dorms. Even if you don't like to party, it is still very easy to meet new people. You will be living with 6 to 7 other students, so you already have a good start Even if you are not going to live in the dorms and you don't want to get involved in campus activities, it is still easy to meet people at UW-Parkside by being an outgoing person. Most classes at UW-Parkside are small, so it is easy to get to know the students. If your a person who likes to party it is essential to make a lot of friends at UW-Parkside. Contrary to popular belief there are large parties at UW-Parkside, but you need to talk to people to find out where they are. Being over the age of 21 is also helpful in ensuring an active social life at UW-Parkside. If there is nothing to do you can always go out to the bars. If you do like to go out a lot try to avoid early morning classes. There is nothing worse than an 8 a.m. class with a hangover. Also, try to avoid early classes if you like to sleep in the morning. It is far too easy to skip an 8 am. class. For those of you who enjoy athletics, UW-Parkside has many quality athletic teams. If you wish to get involved there is also a very good intramural program. Hie UW-Parkside Activities Board sponsors dances, concerts, movies, comedians, and trips throughout the year which are always a lot of fun. So there is no excuse for not having a good time at UW-Parkside. It just takes a little effort FUTONS Beginning at $79.00 thru May 12th (many styles, frames, sizes and fabrics available) The many uses of a Fulton.

Andrewski I vie wed the fiist two weeks of May 1991 with a great deal of trepidation. Not only was 1 working close to sixty hours per week, I had to maintain the presence of mind to attend my classes in preparation for final exams. All of this, and stay awake to boot! One thing I have yet to figure out i s why do they refer to this period of time in the semester as "Finals"? What is so "final" about it when 1 have to come back next semester and do it all over again? This sounds like the oxymoron of a woman getting a "permanent" hairdo. If it is so "permanent", why does she have to go back once per month to have it redone? At any rate, I prepared for the finals like a man possessed. I wanted good grades and would stop at nothing (within reason) to get them. Still trying to acclimate to the concept of Daylight Savings Time, the sun arose far too early for my liking on 11 May. This was the Day of Reckoning for one of my major classes. That ever infamous four-letter profanity; MATH! Lack of sleep hampered me that fateful morning. I was subconsiously thankful that my car had power steering. I could then steer the car with one hand and hold at least one eye open with the other hand. I had given up on the traditional c up of coffee after a sudden turn cause d the steaming brew to splatter on the floor of my car. Fortunately, I had to swerve to the left to avoid ramming some chowderhead that cut in front of me, and the cup of coffee dutifully obeyed Newton's Law of Motion and flipped over into the passenger compartment. Had it been a "swerve right" situation, my lap would have been baptized with hot coffee, creating what I call the "napalm effect". I saw what a cup of THERE'S HOPE-WE CARE ' 24 HOUR HOTLINE 414-658-2222 FREE PREGNANCY TEST FREE COUNSELING ON OPTIONS COMPLETE CONFIDENTIALITY BABY & MATERNITY CLOTHES CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER 2222 ROOSEVELT RD. KENOSHA scalding coffee could do toh uman flesh, and I was thus relieved that it didn't spill on me. As it turned out, the spilled coffee was the highlightof my day. It was a portent of things to come. As usual, the day slid downhill from there. I arrived on campus one-half hour before showtime, and promptly found a parking space in the Union Lot. That alone should have been a clue but I, the Eternal Optimist, refused to think of this as a bad omen. I then made an interestingo bservation. An entire horde of people were moving toward Molinaro Hall, and there was no one heading toward the parking lot, as is usually the case. One way traffic. How odd. It reminded me of "Dante's Inferno" where an entire mass of humanity, reluctantly resigning themselves to their fate, trudged obediently along the Road to Perdition, never to return. This was the stuff that made a fortune for Steven King. A fatalistic atmosphere descended upon UW-Parkside. Iam certain that a great number of us viewed the analogy of Hell as an appropriate comparison to the task that lay before us. As I fell into step with the other lost souls, I grumbled about having to take a test on a Saturday morning and lose half a day's pay just to suffer like this. Why can't the Math finals be given during the normal class period like all other courses? Is the Math Department that sadistic that in addition to torturing us with the mental anxiety of mathematics they feel the need to play with our pocketbooks? Do they wish to remind us of the control they have over the future of our degrees, knowing that we cannot graduate without Math classes? I am consoled by the fact that the great astrophysicist Albert Einstein was lousy in Math. Einstein once remarked "Do not be discouraged at your difficulties with mathematics. I can assure you that mine are far greater." I felt in good company. Paraphrasing that old vaudeville schtick, "You've gotabrain like Einstein!", to which someone would reply: "Yeah, Einstein's dead!" I purchased a cup of vending machine coffee, again cursing the temperature of the brew at twenty million degrees Kelvin. I wondered why I couldn't get addicted to some other drink, like orange juice or milk. Like one of B. F. Skinner's rats, coins in the hand always trigger a conditioned response to purchase scalding hot coffee. Perhaps the association was subliminal. I was marching off to the Hell of Math Finals. Why not remind myself of this fact by carrying a cup of searing hot liquid? This, of course, produced a secondary effect Movement with such a concoction is severely restricted. Any attempt to hasten the step produces resonant waves in the liquid's surface, causing it to overflow its paper container and make contact with the human skin. (See? I did learn something from Physics 101! Physics taught me about resonant waves. Years of experience at carrying hot coffee apparently taught me nothing!) I arrived in the classroom with about a minute to spare. After making sure that my pencils were suffiendy sharp and my coffee was strategically placed within arms reach, I dove intod ie test, eager to begin lest I forget any important formulas. I scanned die test and, to my horror, discovered that it only had twenty questions. This means that each question would be proportionately more difficult. This reminds me of my karate class when the instructor announces that we will "only do one pushup"! The newbies express theira pproval with smiles while the rest of us know better. Those smiles quickly fade when they discover that this "one pushup" was to be held for several minutes with one's nose a mere inch from the floor. When the newbies would complain, the predictable reply was "What's the matter? It's 'ONLY ONE PUSHUP'!" The exam had its usual allotment of silly questions, such as the proverbial boat traveling upstream or downstream, with the current or against the current, and how fast does the boat go in still water? There was the piggy bank that had dimes and quarters: how many of each, like I can't look at them and tell the differece between a dime and a quarter! As a college student, coinage constitues the bulk of my liquid assets. There were quadratic equations and other fanciful exercises to be performed, all for the glory of forty percent of the course grade. All in all, I thought that I did okay. The storm was past, and I could now enjoy the summer vacation that lay ahead; all three weeks of it Summer semester is right around the corner. Summer semester. The "Evelyn Wood" version of college. Sixteen weeks of college level courses crammed into eight weeks "of living hell. At the end of .eight weeks, what then? You guessed it; more "finals". I think I'll go get a permanent!
