N AN VOLUME 24 • ISSUE 24 • APRIL 4, 1996 ESTABLISHED 1972 Dittrich Gives Talk: "Women iilEastern Europe" the entire health care system. The issue of birth control and abor- tion is quite controversial in these countries. There are many unwanted pregnancies, yet the government fails to educate young people about contra- 'ceptives, As' a result, abortion is often used as birth control. For every 100 live births there are 67 abortions. On the average, a woman will have 12 abortions in her lifetime. It is believed that education is the key for the future generation. The children must learn how to get along with others and how to treat every- one with equality. Dittrich explaioed that her visit to Eastern Europe was both exhilarat- ing and disheartening. It was excit- ing to learn about a different way of life, but it was difficult to watch peo- ple living a very rural lifestyle . Education is definitely the key to success and an improved standard of living. It will be a difficult transfor- mation, but a necessary one. • Laura Van Strien Guest Writer The status of women in Eastern Europe was the topic of a lecture given on March 27 as part of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Soup and Substance lecture series. Carol Dittrich, associate pro- fessor of history at UW-Milwaukee presented the lecture. Dittrich also teaches at Mount Mary College. Dittrich discussed the transforma- tion to post-communism and the eff~cts of that transformation on the women livinz in Hungary, Poland, the Slovak Republic, and the former Yugoslavia, all of which are regions that Dittrich has traveled extensive- ly. The first section of the lecture concerned the women in Hungary. There, as in the rest of Eastern Europe, women's issues are largely viewed as unimportant. Because Eastern European society is, for the most part, rural and traditional, the domestic sphere of life still remains the responsibility of the women. Everyday chores that are made rela- tively easy for U.S. women by mod- ern technology, are performed the old-fashioned way in Eastern Europe. For instance, washing clothes requires extensive hand washing or the use of a very old model washing machine. Dryers are virtually unavailable. The women of Eastern Europe make trips to the store every day because of the space limitations in homes and stores. Dittrich explained that women have very poor representation in politics and must fight for every- thing. Their lives are stressful and offer little or no free time. Dittrich also explained that while marriage is often thought of as a means of escape, for many women it turns out to be a trap in and of itself. Several generations live together in the same home and the level of frustra- tion and anger that builds often dri-L ves young women out. Many men are abusive, and violence in a household is expected. Affairs are considered acceptable for men but not for women. The divorce rate continually rises and the living con- ditions worsen. Dittrich also discussed the lack of modern medical technology in most post-communist countries. Most hos- pitals are technologically outdated. The physicians are paid very poorly for their services and, in turn, do not perform at their highest level. Health care, in general, requires extreme overhauling. There seems to be a gross inefficiency throughout Stopping Rape Sigma Tau Delta Spring Banquet rape, society tends to put unwar- ranted blame on the victim. Another factor which they feel may contribute to rape is the dan- gerous mix of too much alcohol and not enough communication. Three out of five women and two out of three men confessed to getting involved in "coercive sexual behav- ior" while drinking alcohol, accord- ing to Public Health Reports. One explanation for this is that many people view alcohol as an excuse to act inappropriately. It is important to realize that sexual coercion whether intentional or not, is justifi~ation for rape. This means that having sex with someone who • Daniel Buschmann Guest Writer • Kristine Hansen News Editor One of the growing concerns on college campuses is the occurrence of rape. According to the National Coalition Against Sexual Assault, "One in four college women have either been raped or suffered attempted rape." Also a surprising 84% of these women knew who their assailants were. However, health experts for the Federal Bureau of Investigation state that they can't accurately determine the level of sexual assault because more than a third of all cases go unreported.

You and your roommate have a continu- ing disagreement about how to keep your living space clean. Your employer habitually makes racist remarks. Someone talks to you in ways that make you feel uncomfort- able. Youhave a disagreement with someone about money, possession, privacy or responsibility. Of course, we all find ourselves in situations like these from time to time. Most of the time, we fmd ways to handle them. Unfortunately, when the con- flict is difficult to resolve, we may avoid confrontation, or feel that our only alternative is to go on the attack. Soon, the campus will present another alternative: the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Dispute Resolution Center. The Center will offer a service in which trained mediators will assist disputing par- ties in the resolution of their con- flicts. Mediators will be members of our own campus: students, faculty, staff and administrators. As media- tors, they will not evaluate the "rightness" or "wrongness" of indi- vidual claims, nor will they render decisions. Instead, they will facili- tate a highly structured process that enables parties to be heard and understood. They will also help dis- putants to clarify issues, to discuss a range of alternatives, and to craft agreements that satisfy everyone involved. . The inspiration for our Dispute Resolution Center came from Parkside student and social activist Mateo Mackbee, who began conver- sations last year with university police officer Marlene Schlecht and communications professor Jonathan Shailor, two people with prior inter- est and expertise in the field of mediation. Schlecht is an experi- enced crime prevention specialist. Shailor's experience includes ten years of work in mediation as a mediator, trainer and researcher. In the spring of 1995, Mackbee, Schlecht and Shailor began discus- sions with Dean of Students Steve McLaughlin and Director of Residence Life DeAnn Stone. Both McLaughlin and Stone have consid- erable experience in mediating cam- pus issues and in training students as mediators. The evolving group began meeting formally in academic year 1995-96 as "The Mediation Committee," while adding the fol- lowing members: Liz Haas (resident assistant), Shauna Hodges (resident assistant), Jeffrey Leuenberger (uni- versity police), Gloria Secor (student affairs) and Gerhard Schutte (sociol- ogy). -Currently the committee is plan- ning the initial mediation training, scheduled for Fall 1996. In the fall, approximately 30 students, faculty, staff and administrators will partici- pate in a 30-hour training program in order to become certified as medi- ators. Members of the campus com- munity who are interested in being trained as mediators should contact Steve McLaughlin (595-2419) or Jonathan Shailor (595-2252).

The Ranger News team was headed by Jim Hendrickson, Editor-in- Chief. Monday's team includ- ed Scott Fragale, April Schoenberg, and Andy Boedecker. Wednesday's team included Fragale, Andy Von Dissen, and Karen Diehl. Because not all of the Ranger team could attend regionals, the Parkside team will consist of Hendrickson, Diehl, Von Dissen and PSGA's Zac Pawlowski Bill would limit Student Choice • David C. Stacy Special to Ranger News Student life is more than just going to class - it is being part of a university community in which stu- dents learn by exploring a wide variety of student groups, athletic opportuni- ties and pre-professional experiences. Most of these activities are funded through student-segregated fees. A bill recently int~oduced in the State Assembly would severely restrict student learning opportunities out- side of the classroom by requiring a positive check- off for all student fees except those for debt service and facilities maintenance. Assembly Bill 778, intro- duced by Representative Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend), would mandate a sin- gle positive check-off for funding of all student activi- ties, including inter-colle- giate athletics, intramural athletics, student group funding, health services, union/student center pro- gramming, student newspa- pers, student radio stations, and student governance. This bill would radically impact the quality of a UW education by dramatically limiting the non-instruction- al, educational student activities. At risk are stu- dent groups that bring speakers to campus; provide social opportunities outside of the "bar scene"; and teach students about politics, jour- nalism, marketing, creative writing, budgeting, volun- teerism, and much more. If even a few students decided not to pay an option- al segregated fee, many important university pro- grams like tutoring, athlet- ics, and student radio sta- tions would not be adequate- ly funded. It would be impossible to budget, or make any commitments to employees under such a sys- tem. 1b make up for defi- ciencies, students electing to pay the 'fee would ultimately have to pay much higher amounts. If this bill passes, there will be fewer outside lec- tures, fewer student groups in which to participate, a reduction in intramural activities, and fewer jobs for students on campus. This bill would destroy the university community. As our society looks for ways to help people feel connected to one another, it is ridiculous to undermine the traditional university community which "" ESTABLISHED 1972 has been able to build these connections among people. Student groups provide valuable learning experi- ences and professional development, and the legis- lature has no reason to step in and restructure the entire student fee allocation process without regard to the detrimental impact it will have. Students fee allocation is currently determined by democratically elected stu- dent governments based on internal campus guidelines and UW System policy, with oversight by the Chancellor and the UW System Board of Regents. Fees cannot be used to fund religious or politically partisan activi- ties, There is no reason for the legislature to meddle with the university's student fee policies. The process works well, and Wisconsin is a national leader in providing valuable extra-curricular experiences for its students. This adds immeasurably to the quality of our education. United Council is the nation's oldest and strongest state student association, representing over 140,000 students on 24 UW System campuses. Karen Diehl is the most photogenic member of the team.

It has also been proven that regular exercise increases the amount of blood flow to the brain, allowing us to better focus on learning. There is also a correspon- dence to mental stimulation and the growth of nerve cells in the brain. The more you challenge your brain, the more information it can store and process. So a bal- anced daily diet of studying and exercise can build your muscles and beef up your brain.

Those couple of extra pounds have just been waiting for the right time to free themselves from your body. The miles you vowed to run everyday during the upcoming year, along with a list of shalts and shalt nots, has once again been put off until next year.

If your resolutionts) were about health- related improvements such as eat- ing healthier or getting into a regu'lar fitness routine, there could be no better time to start than now! I know that you have heard over and over again the benefits of regular exercise and a balanced diet, but there are many reasons why living healthier is especially good for college students. Regular exercise will give you more energy, as will eating the right foods. This time of year when the weather is bitterly cold, a common reaction of many people is to lay around and hibernate. The fact of the matter is that this just cre- ates more feelings of "cabin fever". Exercise helps to Alternative Sports at Parkside ASAP • Amanda Bulgrin Staff Writer get a workout" Kremer said. He added, "It is a very wel- coming environment and anyone can play." Atournament is being planned for April in Madison where twelve to sixteen teams will be com- peting. Practices are held on Thursdays from 7:00-9:00 in the gym. Everyone is wel- come and encouraged to come and try Ultimate Frisbee. According to Kremer, experience or know- how ofthe game is not necessary because everyone is willing to teach newcomers how to play. If Frisbee isn't your game, A.S.A.P. also offers a variety of nontraditional sports. Mountain biking and paint ball wars are two of the more popular sports within the club. The club is also planning a ski trip to Cascade Mountain in the near future. Tournaments for darts, pool, and bowling are some other options that will soon be added. The new year brings many resolutions and often broken promises to one's self. If you, like many oth- ers, decided that as of the first of this year you were going to get into shape, but have not started to exercise, there are fun and exciting ways to be able to slip into those new jeans. A.s.A.P., Alternative Sports at Parkside, offers enjoyable ways to stay in shape. Ultimate Frisbee, for example, is a non-contact sport that stresses sports- manship and fair play while giving a great cardiovascu- lar workout. The game, which is played outdoors with seven players per team, is a challenging com- bination of football, basket- ball, and soccer.

AI; a political science professor and Public Service Internship Program (PSIP) coordinator he has launched intern positions with local agencies, extend- ing from Chicago to Milwaukee. The program, which is not exclusive to political science majors, places Parkside stu- dents in positions such as with a Cook County judge or Channel 2 reporter in Chicago, the office of U.S. Congressman Mark Neumann, the Milwaukee offices of U.S. Senators Russell Feingold and Herb Kohl, or southeastern Wisconsin newspapers like Kenosha News, Racine Journal Times, or The Milwaukee Journal . Interns are also available through local district attorneys' offices and Kenosha and Racine police ·departments. Geared towards juniors and seniors, interested stu- dents should fill out an application in Molinaro 367 not less than six weeks before the beginning of the semester that the internship will occur. - At least a C+ average is needed and the applicant must not be on academic pro- bation. Placement is figured through an interview process at various agencies; some placements will require a course in political science. Though up to 12 credits can be earned, 3 to 6 credit hours is normal, depending on how many hours worked. Most of the intern positions are unpaid, and the paid ones are usually in the sum- mer months. The PSIP program has a two-fold purpose. Students are getting jobs as a result of the internship and are "edu- cating some of these agencies about students," said Pernacciaro. In some cases, interns have been awarded scholar- ships to law schools and grad schools from their internship site. "You're getting practical experience, picking up skills and getting recommenda- tions," said Pernacciaro. II Ex staff member attacks Education Dean Shade ing has been done" about Shade, stating that the administration has ignored . complaints about her. Regarding the whistler- blower complaint, Waller indicated that there are "money damages" involved and said, "I wonder how much they can afford to be awful." Beth Adelson, a former Parkside Education student , stated, "Personally dealing with Dr. Shade ...I never had any problems. "I'm disturbed and con- cerned by the loss of so many wonderful professors ...there are great professors who are now gone. And I wonder why these good 'teachers are leav- ing," Adelson said. Adelson also spoke about the decision not to send stu- dent teachers to rural Kenosha and Racine schools "They talk about diversity, ' but they're only sending stu- dents to one kind of school." "Some of my best experi- ences were in schools with only ten percent minority," Adelson said. "I believe students that are going to be teachers ...need to see multiple types," said Gale Ryczek, Superintendent ofthe Bristol Consolidated School district. Ryczek indi- cated that he had been told by Shade that their schools were not "multi culturally diverse" and student teach- ers would no longer be placed there. "Our culture is diverse," Ryczek said, "we have kids that speak a number of dif- ferent languages in their homes." Despite the placement decision, Ryczek states that Shade "called and wanted to know why I hadn:t contacted, her." Otherwise, Ryczek said, "My dealings with them (Education Department) have been fantastic." Some current Education Department students have stated their dissatisfaction with Shade, but asked not to be interviewed. Many expressed fear that speaking against Shade would lead to retaliation and possible expulsion from the Teacher Education Program . A male student who pre- ferred not to be identified , described meeting with Shade in an impromptu meeting. "She threw a curve ball at me," he said. He states that he was informed his GPA was not adequate for the program and that complaints had been filed against him. The student then reported checking his record to find that it was clean and that his GPA was "in good shape," he said. The matter is cur- rently pending consideration with Vice Chancellor Ostheimer and the student is considering seeking legal counsel. "Dean Shade basically does whatever she wants to do...there is no collaboration there is no democracy and ' that's how I felt when I was there," Adelson said. A phone message was left for Shade requesting an interview, but no reply has been received. Barbara Shade Dean of the School of Education' • Pamela Bradshaw News Editor Barbara Shade, Dean of the School of Education, is being accused of mismanage- ment and abuse of power by faculty and students. Mary Waller, Clinical Program Coordinator of the Teacher Education Department, has filed a whistler-blower com- plaint with the Wisconsin Employment Rights Commission against Shade. "I stated I am being fired because I brought up her mismanagement and abuse of power," Waller said. She also stated that she intends to sue for racial discrimina- tion. "Basically, Barbara Shade is a bully and that's the pat- tern," Waller said. "She gets more and more confident, the more people she's able to hurt."

"An internship is a transi- tion from student to career, and from part-time work into full-time professional position," Roger Hudson, business internship coordi- nator said. If the process is not done through Parkside, it is classified as an informal internship. Parkside's School of Business offers qualified business students internship opportunities. To be eligible a student must be a declared business major and have completed at least 75 credit hours of course work with a minimum GPA of 2.5 prior to the beginning of the internship. If these requirements are met, an internship coordina- tor begins matching stu- dents with employers. The coordinator will also make sure that the employer is giving evaluations on the Ranger Editor-in-Ghief , Business Manager Ente . ent Editor t F student's progress and that there is a specific project they are working on. "The most important aspect of an internship isto be able to work from begin. ning to end on a given pro. ject to acquire a sense of completion, as well as knowledge and responsibili. ty," Hudson explained. Interns should also make sure that there will be an evaluation done on their progress. By having a form evaluations done students can use the employer as a reference for upcoming jobs Internships goals are to take academic skills into a professional job environ- ment, work with individuals and teams, learn to make deadlines, and to meet the standards of the place of employment.

AI Heppner Sc.ott Fragale Amy F,iebig, op~, Mich~el Zurad Ex staff member attacks Education Dean Shade Barbara Shade . Dean of the School of Education • Pamela Bradshaw News Editor Barbara Shade, Dean of the School of Education, is being accused of mismanage- ment and abuse of power by faculty and students. Mary Waller, Clinical Program Coordinator of the Teacher Education Department , has filed a whistler-blower com- plaint with the Wisconsin Employment Rights Commission against Shade . "I stated I am being fired because I brought up her mismanagement and abuse of power," Waller said. She also stated that she intends to sue for racial discrimina- tion. "Basically, Barbara Shade is a bully and that's the pat- tern," Waller said . "She gets more and more confident, the more people she's able to hurt." "They're scared to death ." Waller said about student~ in the Education depart- ment . She states that Shade "hr ' t eatens them with not being accredited." Waller alleges that "noth- ing has been done" about Shade, stating that the administration has ignored complaints about her. Regarding the whistler- blower complaint, Waller indicated that there are "money damages" involved and said, "I wonder how much they can afford to be awful." Beth Adelson, a former Parkside Education student stated, "Personally dealing ' with Dr . Shade .. .! never had any problems. "I'm disturbed and con- cerned by the loss of so many wonderful professors ... there are great professors who are now gone. And I wonder why these good teachers are leav- ing," Adelson said. Adelson also spoke about the decision not to send stu- dent teachers to rural Kenosha and Racine schools "Th ' ey talk about diversity, but they're only sending stu- dents to one kind of school." "Some of my best experi- ences were in schools with only ten percent minority, " Adelson said. "I believe students that are goip.g to be teachers . .. ne ed to see multiple types," said Gale Ryczek , Superinte ndent of the Bristol Consolida ted School district. Ryczek indi- cated that he had been told by Shade that their schools were not "multicultura lly diverse" and student teach- ers would no longer be placed there . "Our culture is di ver se," Ryczek said, "we have kids that speak a number of dif- ferent languages in thei r homes." Despite the placemen t decision, Ryczek stat es that Shade "called and wan ted to know why I hadn 't cont acted her ." Otherwise , Ryczek said, "My dealings with them (Education Department ) have been fantastic ." Some current Educat ion Department students have stated their dissati sfaction with Shade, but asked not to be interviewed. Man y expressed fear that sp eaking against Shade would lead to retaliation and pos sibl e expulsion from the Teacher Education Progr am . A male stud e nt wh o pre- ferred not to be ident i fi ed ' described meeting with Shade in an impromptu meeting. "She threw a curve ball at me," he said. He states that he was in fo rmed his GPA was not ad equ ate for the program and th at complaints had bee n fi led against him . The student then rep orted checking his record to fin d that it was clean and th at his GPA was " in good shap e," he said. The matter is cur- rently pending considerat ion wi th Vice Chancellor Ostheimer and the stud en t is considering seek i ng legal counsel. "Dean Shade basically does whatever she wants to do . .. there is no collaboratio n there is no democracy and ' that's how I felt when I was there," Adelson said . A phone message was left for Shade requesting an interview, but no reply has been received . Internsh ips Clarify Career C hoices • Claire Schoor Guest Writer It is common for students to try and figure out how all of their classes tie together to help them prepare for their future and many may wonder how a class is rele- vant to their career. "An internship is a transi- tion from student to career, and from part-time work into full-time professional position," Roger Hudson, business internship coordi- nator said. If the process is not done through Parkside, it is classified as an informal internship. Parkside's School of Business offers qualified business students internship opportunities. To be eligible a student must be a declared business major and have completed at least 75 credit hours of course work with a minimum GPA of 2.5 prior to the begjnning of the internship. If these requirements are met, an internship coordina- tor begins matching stu- dents with employers. The coordinator will also make sure that the employer is giving evaluations on the st u dent' s progress and that there is a specific project they ar e working on. "T h e most important aspe ct of an internship is to b~ abl e to work from begin . mng t o end on a given pro- ject t o acquire a sense of com pl et ion , as well as know ledge and responsibiJi . ty," H udson explained. Inte rns should also make sure t h a t there will be an evaluati on done on their progres s . By having a form evaluat ions done students can u se the employer as a referen ce for upcoming jobs .

The day-long event, entitled "Latinos in the Fine Arts: Mainstreamed and Maintaining our Identities", consisted of a general session which featured guest speaker Tess Arenas, assistant to the president for multicultural affairs of UW- Systems, and two workshops led by lead- ers of the southeastern Wisconsin Latino community. , The objective of the conference accord- ing to Edwardo D. Vargas III, member-at- large, Latinos Unidos, "... it was a won- derful opportunity for the student body to learn about the vast Latino culture in which we all may have a role. Hopefully, this will be an annual or biannual event." Along with keynote speaker Tess Arenas' presentation on Latino poetry were five other presenters. During the morning workshop, there were two teach- ers from Parksille giving two different presentations: Gabriela Cambiasso, Spanish lecturer, on literature and lan- guage in the Hispanic world, and Dr. Francisco Rios, assistant professor of teacher education, on Chicano literature. The third presentation in the morning was more of a hands-on demonstration presented by Alma Gonzales-Radky from the United Community Center in Milwaukee, in which Gonzales-Radky taught students traditional folkloric dance. The afternoon workshops consist- ed of two speakers, both from the United Community Center in Milwaukee: Mark Fraire conducted a workshop on dramatic arts and theater and John Jacquez led a workshop on mariachi music. In general, "it was great educational experience and a good opportunity for the community to get involved with the University," said Jesus Farfan, a member of Latinos Unidos. The conference was attended by stu- dents and staff from Parkside and some Hispanic students from Kenosha's Bradford High School and Racine's Park and Horlick High Schools. Although the participants were very enthusiastic, there was some regret about the low attendance. As the president of Latinos Unidos, Alban Anthony Flores expressed, "This was an opportunity for all ofthe community to learn about Latinos in fine arts. I had hoped the cam- pus community would have attended, but was disappointed in their attendance. This showed lack of support outside Latinos Unidos. Overall, this was a very educational experience." The event was organized by all of the officers and members as a group effort, and was hosted by Latinos Unidos vice- president Jorge Figueroa. Jorge said that much energy was expended and he "would like to thank all the Latinos Unidos mem- bers that helped out with the posters, tickets, and everything else ...[as well as] the BSU members that showed their sup- port." Th wind up the event, there was a dance commemorating "EI Grito de Lares," the Puerto Rican Independence Day with Claudio y su Orquestra playing salsa and merengue music.

Nelson Ranger Columnist Baseball fans in Wisconsin may not be singing "Take me out to the ball game" after October 1st.The lease that the Brewers have on County Stadium is over after this particular game. Subsequently, the Brewers will not have a legal obligation to stay in Wisconsin. If they leave, Milwaukee will be only the sec- ond city (after Washington) to losemajor league baseball teams twice. The changing economics (greed?) of baseball has had the Brewers angling for a new play- ground since 1989. A new park PSGA? oTy Wilda Entertainment Editor Given an hour to kill on a Friday and a sick sense of bumor, one might find enjoy- ment in attending a student government meeting. It's kmd of like watching a Comedy Channel presenta- tion of the US Senate pro- ceedings. First, there's the President, Mr. Tom Richie. Elected to the position under questionable circumstances bya large block of votes from the athletic department, his term has thus far been a search for an agenda and a plan. Most recently he has means no mnre money problems, or at least that's what Bud Selig's Brew Crew would have us believe. If the brewers get their new taxpayer-backed toy, they will still be left with the same prob- lems of a small-market team. Only legitimate revenue sharing and labor peace can save base- ball. The game used to have a uni- versal afford ability for everyone. As a boy, $10 would get me down to a Cubs game by train, a decent stay, goodies, back home by train and I still would have change. Has anybody priced a seat lately? No wonder they can't draw an audience or a crowd! Who can afford to go? If the state lawmakers vote to fund a new park, they'll be mak- ing a mistake. If Selig can't make the Brewers profitable, then he should sell it to a Wisconsinite who can. That's the best way to save baseball for Wisconsin. It's irresponsible to make hon- est taxpayers contribute $160 million to a bunch of million- aires. If taxes go up, then put the money where it does some good, like in education. Bud Selig had the class not to tell the citizens of Wisconsin, "My way or the highway." That doesn't mean he needs us to build him a new ball park. I like rocks year. An election is to be held in October, to elect the 9 fall Senate seats. So far, only the timeline for this election has been completed. Petitions for candidacy are supposed to be available Monday, Oct. 9 and due back by Thursday, Oct. 12. The election will be held Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 18 and 19. No plans as of yet have been made for the second round of elec- tions, should this one go as well as last year's. Parkside will also be the site of a United Council meeting in February of 1996. Some confusion over how exactly to accommodate this meeting still exists as the Senate debates keeping the meeting off campus and con- fined to area hotels ("Please don't let them see this place," said one Senator) or using the abundant, avail- able and cheaper resources of this school. At least half of the current crop of politicians face the prospect of a re-election cam- paign in less than a month. Now may be a good time to check out what student gov- ernment is up to. Maybe even decide you can do a bet- ter job. tried to improve the increas- ingly low campus opinion of PSGA by getting govern- ment involved with PAB in sponsoring entertainment on campus. He has given gov- ernment funds to PAB to help bring acts to campus and has been active in pro- moting these events. He and new senate president pro- tempore, Teri Jacobson, have also been busy promoting government and getting the word out on anti-student leg- islation by speaking at the dorms and in classes. His main nemesis in the senate is the 2 issue senator, Tom Belongia. This Tom is most vocal on an anti- Neumann campaign that has involved letters to the Kenosha News, Ranger and EDITORIAL POLICY Ranger News encourages letters to the Editor. Letters should not exceed 250 words and should be delivered to the Ranger News office (WYLL D-139C), or e-mailed to hendricj by 9 a.m. the Friday before pub- lication. Typed letters must include the author's name and phone number. Letters must not contain misleading or libelous content. Letters that fail to comply will not be published, but they will be returned to the author. Ranger News reserves the right to edit letters. on the local areas of the Internet. His other main concern is to oppose Tom Richie on any matter he can find. It's amazing how much nothing he can find to argue with during a senate meet- ing. It's also a wonder how they can get anything done while debating all these petty details just for the sake of argument. In the senate's version of musical chairs, there seems to be constant vacancies in the ranks of government. Last year, most of the judi- cial branch either graduated or quit, and at least one replacement candidate quit rather than deal with the job of senate baby-sitter that the justices have become. Senate vacancies have occurred due to graduation (Jeff Weniger), loss of eligi- bility (Ami Orava), and dis- gust with the current state of the senate (Anthony Flores, Jimmi Nicholson, Gabe Millerd). Of course, the senate lost no time in replacing these positions as quickly and quietly as possi- ble through their extensive search and screen process of asking who had friends available to take the jobs. In the past two weeks, without much ado or fanfare, new senators Casey Green and Julia K. Beaver were sworn in. Also done in this behind- closed-doors, keep-it-quiet atmosphere was the han- dling of last year's botched PSGA raffle. It turns out that a group complaining of the apathy on campus has a problem dealing with apathy in its own ranks. Only approximately 20% of the tickets necessary to pay for the raffle were sold. Senate first extended the time limit on the raffle last spring, but was still unable to meet the goals of the project. They then let the raffle lapse through the summer in vio- lation of state gaming laws, and yet did not find a way to rectify the situation. The first three meetings of the year had votes concerning the raffle before the floor, as the Senate waffled on the decision between complying with state law and saving their own public image. In the end, the raffle has been canceled and plans to refund ticket money are being drawn up. Uncertainty still remains, however, in exactly how to act.
