UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Thursday, January 19, 1984 University of Wisconsin-Parkside Alcohol policies may be changed Program honors King by Jennie Tunkieicz News Editor "Hey, bartender, 20-ounce beers for everyone! I'm buying." "Sorry, you can only get one beer at a time and we only sell 12-ounce beers." "What? Well, then I'd like a pitcher of beer and a carafe of wine." "No carafes or pitchers, either." "All right. I guess I'll just have one 12-ounce beer." "First I must see your ID, please." This scenario might soon become a reality in Parkside's Union Square. The new policy, if implemented, would eliminate pitchers, carafes and 20-ounce beers; customers would only be allowed to purchase one serving of wine or beer at a time and proper age identification must be presented with each purchase. These changes may be implemented on an experimental basis in response to the need to find a proper method of dealing with the new drinking age of 19. "The way we see it, we don't have much choice except to make these changes," said Union Director Bill Niebuhr. "The change in the drinking age law pretty much gives us one simple task and that is to see that people under 19 do not get the product." Niebuhr feels the Union has only two choices: either prevent underage people from entering facilities where alcohol is being served or establish a workable alternative whereby all students may use the facilities and still keep those who are underage from obtaining alcohol. According to university legal counsel, campuses may allow underage students on the premises where alcohol is being served, but steps must be taken to insure that underage people do not have access to alcohol. By taking these preventative measures, Niebuhr feels the possibility of underage students obtaining alcohol in the Union without an ID — from their friends or by sharing drinks — wil l be reduced. "We are not completely eliminating the possibilities of that portion being split ...but at least we are cutting down on the problem because they won't be getting much product," said Niebuhr. Niebuhr feels that it would be advantageous to implement this new policy on an experimental basis. This type of experiment would aid in determining what the impact of changes like these will have on the Union Square when the new law takes effect in the fall. Niebuhr said he is uncertain if o r when such an experiment will be implemented, but that Union personnel are prepared to begin this policy at any time. Mike Menzhuber, Recreation Center Manager and Assistant to the Union Director, said, "We spoke with the bartenders last week and they are prepared to go with A member of the Gospel Truth Crusaders lead the audience during a song in the tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. by Jill Whitney Nielsen "I have a dream." These memorable words were first spoken by Martin Luther King Jr., a civil rights leader who was slain by an assassin's bullet on April 4, 1968. Born Jan. 15, 1929, his career was marked by triumph and controversy, up to his tragic end in Memphis. On Monday, Parkside held a commemorative program honoring King's birthday, which was recently designated as a national holiday beginning in 1986. Jenny Price, the program's coordinator, stated that interest in starting the program was boosted by the recent federal declaration. Price "tested (the idea) out with other staff members who thought it was a good idea and talked to students, particularly students in the Black Student Organization (BSO). They not only thought it was a good idea, but were anxious to help make it successful." The committee, which began work on the commemorative program shortly after exams, recruited speakers and a local gospel group and put together a slide presentation. BSO also took an active part in the program, contributing music and speakers presenting excerpts from King's letters and speeches. The moderator was BSO president Calvin Singleton. The program, entitled "A King Commemorative," was held in the Union Bazaar, with the pre-program music and various songs throughout the program by the Gospel Truth Crusaders from Kenosha. Chancellor Alan Guskin, who presented the welcome speech, spoke not only of King's many accomplishments, but also his peaceful, non-violent stand in turbulent times. The Chancellor stated: "To me, the genius and legacy of...King, like Mohandas Gandhi, lay in the powerful tandem of non-violent social action and person courage with which he forged his cause..It is interesting to note that Gandhi's word for his doctrine 'satyagraha', when translated becomes King's slogan: 'Soul Force.' " King's life includes many triumphs, such as winning the Nobel Peace prize in 1964, in the midst of violence, turbulence and strife. Guskin ended his speech: "His life- -indeed his death-is persuasive and instructive testimony to us all that the soul is always mightier than the sword." Marvin Dawkins, associate professor of Sociology, also spoke on "Keeping the Dream Alive," and* read excerpts from King's famous speech "I Have A Dream." Dawcontinued on page 4 this (change). Not everyone agrees with it, but they do all agree that we must address the problem somehow and we are ready to begin at any time." Menzhuber and Niebuhr feel that the bartenders will be the ones who will receive the majority of complaints of students if this program is implemented. "They are going to have to be very diplomatic," said Menzhuber. "I hope that everybody realizes that the bartenders are not the ones who are doing this...they are only enforcing policy." On Feb. 7 and 8 the UW System Union Directors will meet to discuss how other campuses will be dealing with the drinking age law change, how students violating the law will be dealt with on campus, how a national 21-year-old drinking age will affect campuses, and other related topics. "I'm anticipating that other campuses that are currently serving large portions (of beer and wine) will be taking steps similar to what we are proposing. I personally would not feel comfortable having large portions of alcohol out in the room that could easily be shared," said Niebuhr. Niebuhr emphasized that this policy is not finalized and may or may not be implemented this semester. Additional discussion and suggestion on the issue are being sought from student groups and individuals who can offer any workable alternatives. The Parkside Union Advisory Board will soon meet to discuss this issue. Twenty-ounce beers may soon be on their way out. Ranger photo by Todd Herbst 2 Thursday, January 19,1984 !| '."t" RANGER Letters to the Editor Wayne Johnson responds Dear Sir: After reading through "No more Mister nice guy" (Ranger, December 15, 1983), I regretfully concluded that the article and its related experiences might best be viewed as some type of education experience- for all involved. But to help make it so, I would like to exercise my "nurturing" proclivities by making some observations about specific items in the article: 1) I have books relating to the study of religion, but I do not think that I have any "religious" books, as the first paragraph asserts. At least I have never seen any of them express any such inclination or behavior. 2) I plead innocent of stating that "(I) never really decided what (I) wanted to do with (my) life." I did indicate to Mr. Riesling that my vocational goals had gone through some development, but I have never believed that I have been somehow bumbling through life trying to decide what to do. 3) I have not "just been divorced." That was legally established some eight months ago. 4) My fifteenyear- old son protests that he did not "die at the age of ten" as the faulty pronoun reference indicates in column two. 5) The disagreement between subject and verb on the bottom of column three was, I devoutly hope, not of my doing. 6) I have no idea whether or not my recent book "will continue to sell for some time. (I earnestly hope that it will.) 7) I surely could not have said, and would not have said, that my children were "not affected" by our divorce. Such a claim would be denial of the first order. I tried to indicate that my former wife and I took all the steps we could to reduce the impact on our children. 8) The forever "adolescing" bit comes from Erik Erikson, although it is not his personal diagnosis of my character structure. 9) The camera, alas, probably told something like the truth in the picture. I am, however, tempted to protest that it was not my good side. From the learning corner, Wayne G. Johnson Mr. Nice Guy no more (Well, maybe occasionally.) Royko finds sunnier times Write a letter to the Editor Wars are breaking out all over: the Middle East, Central America, and closer to home, Chicago. Chicago newspaper readers are well aware of last week's newspaper war over columnist Mike Royko, who jumped ship from the Sun-Times to the enemy Tribune. Royko, probably the best columnist in America, resigned Jan. 10, one day after the Sun Times' new owner Rupert Murdoch took over the paper. He signed with the Trib only a few hours later, even though his - (Royko's) Sun Times contract hadn't expires. The court had to decide the issue, and of course Royko won. But why did he switch papers? Because, as Royko said when he started an "indefinite leave of absence" in December, Murdoch-owned newspapers (the New York Post and the weekly Star are two of them) are "trash." A sample store would be: "Leper rapes virgin, gives birth to monster baby." This type of journalism didn't sit well with Royko, whose last name alone represents the city of Chicago as much as "Daley" did when he was mayor. Royko is Chicago, He knows the intricacies of the city and insightfully reports the corrupt and/or asinine goings-on with magnificent style. But not everybody appreciates a good, nasty columnist nowadays. Mayoral candidate Bernard Epton wanted to buy the newspaper only to fire Royko, who called Epton a "kook" (and Harold Washington a "crook"). Brewers fans were appalled when Royko said the only cultural activity at County Stadium is contests on who can belch the loudest. The truth hurts sometimes, doesn't it? It is this type of truthful and popular (as long as it's directed toward someone else) writing that makes Royko so good. He has been a columnist in Chicago for by Ken Meyer 21 years and won the Pulitzer Prize for commentary in 1972. Ever since Royko went on leave last month, Ranger has been trying to negotiate a contract with him, trying to steer him toward good ol' UW-P. Our corrupt and asinine activities, I thought, would certainly entice him to leave his town. I contacted SUFAC to see if Ranger could receive the funds to match the five-year $1.32 million contract Royko left at the Sun Times. But it was too late; the Trib beat us again. That means the tremendous circulation boost won't be with Ranger, but with the Tribune. But I should have known. Not only can't you take Chicago out of Royko, you'll never be able to get Royko out of Chicago.

Over 80 students waited for the final in this class only to be told it would not take place because of a unique situation. Mr. Pavalko assured everyone present that he and the division would do everything to resolve the situation to (hopefully) everyone's satisfaction in a fair and reasonable manner. What we are offered now is one of three choices: take a pass/fail; take the class again; a grade based on your mid-term exam. That's it! Take it or leave it! What about the gradings on the mid-term? Well it was a 45 question exam and you had to get 40 correct to get even a B plus in the class. Not much margin for error there, Mr. Pavalko. What about the work involved in the last seven weeks of the class? Too bad! What about the effect on grades? Too bad! What about students who did poorly in one exam but could have made it up on the final? Too bad! In other words, Mr. Pavalko is not prepared to accommodate any special circumstances at all (other than his three-choice dictum above). Our genial, responsive head of the Behavioral Science division is in reality a tough, no-nonsense administrator. He even claims that the gradings cannot be changed (even though the professor is not available, no final was ever given and no alternate ever offered). Come on, Professor Pavalko. Were you really ever a student yourself? Bah, humbug. Name withheld BY CITIZENS FOR WALTER F. monmle... OFFICIAL CANDIDATE OF THE 1934 RANGER WHEG Grants cut Students who are receiving Wisconsin Higher Education Grants can expect a cut in their financial aid checks this semester. Parkside's Financial Aid Office learned about two weeks ago that the state's Higher Educational Aids Board is making adjustments in the formula used t o calculate the grant awards. Students in the UW-system will receive a $30 cut in the grants. About 200 students at Parkside are affected by t he cut. The Wisconsin Higher Educational Aids Grant is a state-sponsored award to financially needy students. Parkside's Director of Financial Aid Jan Ocker said Monday that the state had to make adjustments in the award formula to keep the fund, a fixed amount of mone y, from going b roke. "It only affects those students who received grants last semester," Ocker said. "This semester they aren't given any, obviously, because they are out of money." He said the state had received more applications for grants this year than expected and the applicants were needier than in previous years. The amount of each grant runs between $200-$1,500. The average WHEG grant at Parkside, Ocker said, is $233 for independent students and $450 f or dependent students. He also said the state does not foresee making cuts in the WHEG program for the '84-'85 school year. The award fund for next year was budgeted by the state as a separate, fixed amount. "We hope that doesn't happen again next semester," said Ocker. Standing behind a fiberglass sculpture by Parkside art professor Rollin Jansky are, from left, Dennis Bayuzick, Joh n Murphy, Jansky, and Douglas DeVinny, all members of P arkside's art faculty. An exh ibit of their works is on display in the Communication Arts Gallery through Wednesday, Feb. 8. A re ception will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. in the gallery on Thursday, Jan. w. Art faculty works exhibited in Gallery Works by five Parkside art faculty that explore diverse media and a broad range of a rtistic styles are on view in the Communication Arts Gallery through Wednesday, Feb. 8. A free public reception will be held in the gallery from 7 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19. Regular gallery hours are from 1 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; in addition the gallery is open from 7 to 10 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. Included in the show are: —Three air-brushed acrylic paintings by Dennis Bayuzick, whose boldly-colored work is heavily influenced by Jungian symbolism and dream-inspired surrealism. Bayuzick last year won a top juror's award in the 26th A nnual Beloit & Vicinity Exhibition at Beloit College. —Twelve pieces by Douglas DeVinny, including paintings, watercolors, drawings and prints, both Intaglios and lithographs. Of particular interest is DeVinny's compelling "Lost Toy" series depicting a toy baby-doll in a number of d isquieting settings. —Five pieces by Rollin Jansky including four polyester resin impregnated fiber glass sculptures ahd a sculpture of welded steel. The fiberglass works, smooth, highly polished forms suggestive of F reudian symbolism yet elusively abstract, typify Jansky's chief artistic orientation for the past 12 years. The steel sculpture, a jagged, three-legged, reptilian creature, represents a dramatic new direction for Jansky. —Five pieces by David Holm es, including a painting and four "chair people" sculptures from Holmes' larger work, "Holmtown-U.S.A." which last year toured universities and colleges throughout the upper midwest. The chairs are equipped . with built-in personalities which include, for example, an artist, a "comic-book kid" and a voyeur. Holmes uses carpentry, wood-carving techniques, found objects, paintings and drawings to conduct his "private mystic and aesthetic search." —Six porcelain bisque ceramic sculptures by John Murphy, who has developed an intriguing juxtaposition of the mundane and the divine in a series titled "Chicken Icon," which places "a very ordinary fowl into holy, shrine-like setting." Murphy exhibited in the juried 1983 Beloit & Vicinity Exhibition at Beloit College.

We h ave all been anxious to see whether or not the things that George Orwell wrote about would come to pass. Let's take a look at our world in 1984, sha ll we? We have found out that the FBI has a file on virtually every man, woman and child in the country. At any time they can call up information on anyone they choose. Neat, huh? Whenever you walk into a store, especially a convenience-type food store, you can be sure to see cameras hanging all over the place. We don't want anyone ripping off our Ding-Dongs now , do we? Jerry Falwell and his Moral (?) Majority are at it again. They seem to think that sex should not be for pleasure, but only for making new Falwells and Falwellettes. Harold Breier, police chief of Milwaukee and terminally fun guy, has a habit of sending police officers to 'straighten out the thinking' of people who criticize his department. We are almost always at war, or peacekeeping, as the higher-ups want to call it, somewhere on the globe. When we're done in one place, we just move it elsewhere. Well, there it is, just a brief look at some of the things going on in the world in 1984. Boy, isn't it nice to know that Orwell was wrong? Sure is a load off my mind. (Oops, be back in a minute. My big brother is looking for me.) •••••••••• Ever since Elvis Presley left us, the world has clamored for more of his special brand of magic.

It seems that Anthony Earl, our state's highest elected official, actually drinks beer! I am appalled. I mean, what is this world coming to when a public official can drink an alcoholic beverage £?'m time to time? Are we going^to stand for this? I say no! We must use our political clout to show our displeasure to our governor, and get him to drink something wholesome, like milk. If th at fails, we will have no choice but to see this rummy impeached. Let's stand up now for what we believe in. The time to act is now, as soon as I finish my pitcher of Lite. Fun in the snow by Sarah Uhlig With the start of the new year, most of us make new year's resolutions. Mine was to get in shape, yet have fun in the process. I came up with the perfect ideacross- country skiing. My friend went along with me; neither of us had skied before. We rented our skis from the Parkside Rec Center. The attendant had us fill out a form, while he picked out the proper length skis for us. The length of the skis depends on one's height and weight. After getting the skis out of the building and into the car, we drove over to the Comm Arts parking lot. Wanting to be adventurous, we started at the top of a hill. We both made it half-way down the hill without falling. It was a beautiful day, unlike many days we've had this winter. After about an hour of skiing, we finally got the hang of it. We traveled along the seemingly endless trails for three hours. Upon our return to the Rec Center, we had to pay for renting the skis. Parkside charges $4.75 per half-day and $7.50 for a full day. The prices are a little higher if you're not a student or faculty member. I found the price to be very reasonable for the occasional skier. The trails are great, too! Keep our pagan holidays sacred Spell Christmas. C... H... R... I... S... T... Right. Stop there. Now, as some of you may (or conceivably may not) know, I do not count myself among the great religious zealots of our time. I feel I have quite a comfortable relationship with the big guy up there, but let's face it. Some people just get carried away. And sometimes things seem just a wee bit out of proportion. Take the case of the Freedom From Relgion Foundation. I'm sure most of the ladies and gentlemen of said group are normally quite sensible individuals. But it seems that one or two of them have got the proverbial chip on the equally proverbial shoulder. - You see, earlier on in December, the Knights of Columbus put up a couple of placards in some of the Madison Metro buses. The signs read "Keep Christ in Christmas." The placards also portrayed the infant Jesus. •*•*•*•••• The Freedom From Relgion Founcation, a national group wishing to keep church and state separate, objected. In fact, the head of the group found the signs offensive. The whole group did, she said. I can see her point. Who do these Columbus people think they are? What possible link is there between Christ and Christmas anyway? It's a plot, that's all. In probably a similar attitude, the Foundation took steps to end this obviously subversive threat to freedom and the American way. They fell back on that crutch of the oppressed, the poor, the minority and the terminally paranoid. That's right. The good old, all purpose, handy-duty, say-what-you-want-it-to-say Constitution. Last year Madison Metro gave the KC's free space for their placards. The free space, claimed the Foundation, was an unconstitutional aid to religion. Keeping Christ in Christmas is obviously unconstitutional. Don't you see that? Madison Metro took down the signs. So this year, the Knights had to pay for the space. Not enough. The foundation also demanded equal time. "People who aren't religious, or even people who are Jewish, probably aren't thrilled," said foundation top banana, Anne Gaylor. So, to counter the threat, the new Freedom From Religion placards read: "THE BIBLE-A Grim Fairy Tale" and continued with "A book which condones sexism and violence should not be revered." Fine. Now, back to the beginning. How do you spell Christmas? C... H... That's very good. And what is it supposed to commemorate? That's right. A birthday. Tell you what. We really wouldn't want to offend those who are not religious. Let's just forget about Christmas altogether. While we're at it, why not keep George Washington out of George Washington's Birthday? A man who kept slaves has no right to be revered as the Father of our country. And doesn't the term "Father" smack of sexism? Say....isn't the Easter Bunny just some pinko commie distributing wealth among the masses? And Martin Luther King was black. I'm sure the KKK would find that awfully offensive. Keep Christ in Christmas. Honestly. What a subversive idea. by John Kovalic Feature Editor •••••••••• On the other side of the spectrum, the Reverend Jerry Falwell was at it again. Keeping with his familiar theme of "God is a Republican, and probably pretty rich to boot," the good Reverend took offense to the reaction (mostly by liberal pinko commie athiestic homosexuals -yes, you know who you are) at Edwin Meese's "There is no hunger in America" speech. Well, find. I guess everyone is entited to their opinion. But wait! The reverend, God-loving Christian Republican (and probably pretty rich to boot) that he is, says that he can prove that hunger does not exist in America. Hallelujah! Wonderful! You see, the Rev. has this television program, OK? And by the miracle of mdoern science, the good reverend can reach out to the (television) masses! Right, says Jerry, how many of you are hungry? I want, he continues, all of you who are watching tonight who are hungry to... (wait for this) ... phone me up and let me know! The results? Surprise, surprise, the reverend must have been right. You could count the number of responses on your little finger. Therefore, proclaims the man, Meese wuz right. What astounding logic. Now, before all you Reverend J. Fan Club members rush out to vote for uncle Ron next November, consider this: Just how many people who are hungry do you think would leap out of their armchair, switch off their Sony Trinatron and rush to their telephone to place a (probably long distance) call to cousin Jerry? If y ou were starving, what would you get rid of f irst, the Trinatron or the kids? And of course you'd want to keep the ol' telephone on the off-chance that you just might want to give the good reverend a nice long-distance discussion on the social results of Reagonomics, wouldn't you? Of course you would. Nice on, Jerry. I guess next he'll invite them to ho on their Learjet and nip over to his place for a quick snack. Heck, why stop there? I'm sure they'd appreciate a little get-together in Monaco ... once they get their yachts out of mothballs. So, yet another fine graduate from the William F. Buckley School of Logic ("Damn the premise, I want a conclusion"), gets his say. Don't you love religion? I want to be a prophet when I grow up.

RANGER Women rebound during break by Patricia Cumbie Sports Editor The women's basketball team has made an impressive comeback over vacation break. "At the start of the season we had a very hard schedule. Some of the other teams get to play the 'puppies' at the start of the season," coach Noreen Goggin commented on the disheartening start of the season. On Jan. 4 they lost to Wayne State 83-61. Leading scorers were Robin Henschel with 20, Debbie Ambruso with 19 and Deb Hansen with 11. "We played good in the first half, but the second half was not well played," said Goggin. "There were too many turnovers. We had 29 of them, which really hurt." Two days later they rebounded against UW-Oshkosh, defeating them 64-42. "This is the first time in my recollection that we have beaten UW-O." Goggin added, "We had good team effort. Our free throw percentage was the best it's been so far." Jan. 9 and Jan. 11 yielded the string of three wins. On the 9th against UW-Whitewater they won 67-58. "The score on this game does not really reflect how the game was layed. The game was close the whole time except at the last four minutes. We got really fired up and beat them," commented Goggin. Top scorers for that game were Deb Ambruso with 23 points, Jean Jacobs with 16 and Robin Henschel with 12. "The game against National College of Education would have been closer, score-wise if I had put a lot of people in," Goggin said. "I put in others to see how they could perform. I was glad to win." The result of the game was 69-57. Game leaders were Robin Henschel and Deb Ambruso. Last Saturday against Northeast Illinois, they were defeated 68-52. Goggin said, "They were just a good team. They are better than most we have played." She added, "We were down by 12 a t the half. We came in the second half much closer. I'm not displease with how we played because the team was big, strong and fast. This is not a critical defeat." Friday begins the UW-Parkside tournament. They play against Loras College from Iowa. "They are a pretty tough team, but we should play well against them. If we do well at the tourney, we will be playing .500 b all," said Goggin.

At the Carthage Invitational Jan. 7, the team won for the seventh time in the last nine years. Parkside scored 92 points against 13 other schools. The competition yielded five first-place champions. In the 134 weight class, Mike Vania was champion for the third year in a row. Matt Kluge at 142 was champion in his class for the second year in a row. The three other champions were: 158-Chris Dickson; 167-Todd Yde and 177-Ted Keys. The competition also yielded a second, third and fourth place for team individuals. They were, respectively: Mike Winter, 150, Dan Hall-126 and Gerril Grover-118. "I'm really pleased with the men's performance here. We've usually been in the top ten at this invitational," coach Jim Koch commented. Jan. 13 was the Midwest Wrestling Classic. The meet was held in Anderson, Indiana with 15 schools in competition. The first place team was State College in Michigan with 118 points. Parkside placed second with 98 and Ashland from Ohio placed third with 82. There were teams representing eight different states. Five individuals on the team made it to the finals. The champion for his weight class was Mike Vania (134). He defeated Pat Fischer from Notre Dame with three pins. He has also been champion of the classic for the second year in a row. The runners-up were: Mike Win-, ter-142, defeated 7-4 by Todd Eddy; Chris Dickson-158, was 6-0 against Terry Schumacher, an NCAA All- American from Farris.State; Todd Yde-167, was 11-9 against Allen Brown from Cardinal Newman; Ted Keys was 2-1 against Chris McAnaan, an All American from Grand Valley. "We were the defending champions, and we took second, which was good because of the high calibre competition," said Koch. "It was a very competitive tournament. Everyone wrestled up to his potential and I'm please with all of the performances up to this date."

Beginning with the win against MSOE on Dec. 14, Parkside has won five out of their last eight games, including victories over UW-Platteville and Indiana/Purdue-Ft. Wayne. The Rangers were 4-4 during the semester break, beginning Dec. 29 at UW-Stevens Point, in a rematch of last year's District 14 final. Once again, the pointers came out on top, winning 64-40. The Rangers were behind by only five points at the half, but "fell apart" in the sec-, ond half, according to Johnson. He said it was their poorest performance in the last month. Parkside fared better in their own tournament, the Ranger Classic, on Jan. 3-4. T heir opponent in the first game of the Classic was Lakeland College. The Rangers played well and defeated Lakeland 79-70, while UW-Eau Claire took care of UW-Milwaukee. In the finals against Eau Claire,! Parkside kept it very close in the first half and were behind by just two points at halftime, and actually had the lead in the first few minutes of the second half. Then the Blugolds broke it open with a flurry of steals and Ranger turnovers. Eau Claire never trailed after that, and took horn a 73-64 victory. Parkside was home again on Jan. 7 for a game with UW-Platteville. It was a tough, well-played game that was decided in the last moments by Jay Rundles, who hit a shot with seconds left on the clock. On Jan. 9, on a foreign court, Parkside played with Coach Johnson called "...a big game...the best game we played over break." The site was Ft. Wayne, Indiana; the opponent was Indiana/Purdue-Ft. Wayne. The final score was 63-62 in favor of the Rangers. The Indiana team was coming off a recent win over nationally-ranked Wright State, so that made the victory for Parkside even more gratifying to Johnson. The Rangers were brought back to earth a big only three days later, when they lost control of a game against UW-Green Bay and lost 71- 64. They went for nine minutes without scoring, which was surprising to Johnson after their previous win. The Rangers finally had a chance to strut their stuff on Jan. 14 against Northeastern Illinois. Johnson's men took out their frustrations on them, blowing them away by the score of 92-72. The Rangers shot a hot .586 fro m the floor and out-rebounded Northeastern Illinois 53-38. Johnson was able to clear the bench in the second half and coasted to victory. Leading the way for Parkside was Brian Diggins with 25 points, while Arthur 'Jay' Rundles added 20 points and 16 rebounds. The two Erics, Juratic and Womeldorf, added 14 and 13 points respectively. Juratic also received a technical foul and fouled out. Teammate Sean Patterson and Northeastern Illinois' Peter Shepherd were ejected from the game after each received technical fouls. Johnson commented, "It really feels good to bury somebody." Johnson stated that even in the losses this year the team has played well, and that the tough schedule has contributed to their current 8-7 record. Parkside's played Lewis University, a team that Johnson calls "a tough team to beat," on Jan. 18 at Lewis. CYNTHIA M.

"Yes, we made an excellent showing," said coach Loran Hein, who selected his best team members to make the trip to Northwestern's Evanston campus. "Bill Thomas was especially impressive." Thomas, who fences epee, finished second out of 48 entrants in his class, but felt he could have done better. Thomas said that his performance was "Damned good," but, that he could have placed first but wasn't in the best of shape. "This is the second time Bill finished highly," said Hein, "he made a very good showing." Parkside's second fencer to make the event was Sam Waller, who fences sabre. Waller finished 19th out of 38 fencers. "It was a good display," commented Hein, "but Same has more time to go, more to do before the nationals." Thomas and Waller were the only Parkside fencers in the competition. "I think," said Hein, "that we are now at a point where we have the best fencing at Parkside that we have had for years." i—WELCOME—\ ATHLETE OF THE WEEK +++Congra£tilations++ir JAY RUNDLES Basketball; 37 pts. 27 rebounds in last two games. to ITLilLerTlme Kenosha Savings and Loan CKINC! in your choice of TWO great accounts!
