Safficti-Hughes suffered broken ribs and a broken collar bone and is still in intensive care at Doyne Hospital in Milwaukee. The accident occurred at the intersection of Ryan Road and 27th Street in Franklin. Saffioti-Hughes was taking her daughter, Autumn, to child care before reporting to work. The accident occurred at 7:40 am when her car, westbound on Ryan Road, collided with a minivan travelling south on 27th street. Saffioti-Hughes has been through surgery to repair her broken bones. Her recovery time is expected to be short, perhaps 2-3 weeks. She remains in ICU, and will probably be there until early next week. Until that time, people are urged to refrain from calling the hospital. The UW-Parkside community has begun responding to Carol Lee's tragedy. A memorial fund is to be set up at Children's Hospital in Autumn's name, as is another fund through Educator's Credit Union. Students in Dr. Safficti- Hughes' Advanced Expository Writing class are sending cards and poems reflecting their support and sympathy. Tanya Melendez, a student in the class, said, "l thought it was important for us to get together and show her our thoughts are with her." Other students on campus have expressed similar feelings. The Parks ide Student Government Association sent a card to Dr. Saffioti-Hughes. Jennifer Buchholz, President of PSGA, said, "As we all know, this was a tragic incident. I think I speak for all students in wishing her a quick recovery. I also send my deepest sympathies in her loss. I hope she knows how much this event has impacted the students. Our thoughts and prayers are with her." Ted Hughes, Carol Lee's Husband, has expressed that cards and notes will be great morale boosters.

Marable says, 'Multiculturalism pays! by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer Before a group of students, staff, and other community members, Dr. Manning Marable, Director of Columbia University's Institute for Research in African American Studies, spoke on the topic of campus racism Tuesday January 31 in Parkside's Union 104. In his lecture, entitled "Blueprint for Uprooting Discrimination in America's Colleges, Marable asserted that an appreciation of history is important because "it gives us a sense of who we are ...this special consciousness lets us know who we really are." Marable noted that most students aren't given a good cultural balance in their education. "You are culturally deficient if you don't read African American literature," Marable stated, "or studyAfrican American sociologists." One form of prejudice that Marable noted as prevalent on many campuses is that which deals with assumptions about scholarships. "Only two percent of all scholarships are designated for African Americans in the United States," he stated. Marable said that- many non-minority students believe that a great number of scholarships are designated for African American students. "Many argue that scholarships for minority students is a form of reverse discrimination," Marable stated. Marable used the example of legacy scholarships which are earmarked for the sons of Harvard University graduates. An astonishing forty-four percent of those admitted to Harvard are financed with the aid of legacy dollars. "Only when scholarships are awarded to African Americans or Latinos do we see a problem." A sweeping trend that Marable notices on college campuses across the U.S. is a growing pattern of discrimination. "What we see is a growth of institutional discrimination." The immense decrease in the number of young students of color in our inner city who aren't receiving an adequate I education is one of the items that Marable cites as unfortunate. He stated that this is attributable to "the new segregation between the educated haves, and the semi-educated have nots.' "Racism is an invisible tax against the labor power, creativity, and intellect of people of color," Marable stated when detailing the different forms of poverty. Regarding financial poverty he stated that most of the individuals who live in poverty are not people of color. Marable said that the problems of the 1990's are far more sophisticated. "We need to understand that the challenges ahead require a different vision," he said. As a political activist and social critic, Marable stated, "we must have the courage to search for common ground to advance toward ideals of a democracy without discrimination." Manning Marable He stated that we have to build a new kind of leadership. Marable, who writes a nationally published column entitled "Along the Color Line," said in his speech that "the historic color line will be reversed for African Americans." This notion of reversal relates to his ideas about the post-modern discourse presently in effect which is essentiaJIy racism without responsibility. "To relate to people you need to know something about their history and their culture," he stated. Without these components he says that two individuals cannot have an honest conversation. One final thought that Dr. Marable expressed was, "muliculturalism pays." UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.PARKSIDE February 9, 1995 Multicultural education a priority by Pamela Bradshaw Staff Writer , .... ~.::.., The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs in conjunction with the Ethnic Studies Center received a $2000 grant from the UW System to fund a Faculty Development in Multicultural Education Program. The grant was awarded to accomplish the goals in the Design for Diversity Program. The money will be split between five courses submitted by instructors. Two courses all ready accepted are a class in Cross- Cultural Psychology and a business course entitled ''The Changing Workplace." According to Anthony Brown, Director of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, the purpose of the grant is to "get faculty members that do not have courses that are under the diversity requirement involved in the Design for Diversity and enhance their 'course.' The professors who receive the grants can use to funding to go to a conference, buy a computer program for a class, buy more books and reading materials or anything that fulfills the goals of the Design for Diversity program. The Design for Diversity program, started in 1988 by the then President Shaw of the Uw-System. was created to increase the presence of American Indian, African American, Asian American and LatinolHispanic students, faculty and staff in UW institutions. "Generally we have met all of the goals for Design for Diversity," Brown stated, also citing that Parkside has the second highest percentage of minority students in the UW system. UW-Milwaukee has the highest percentage. "We fortunately have received many grants from different areas over the last five years," said Brown. The current grant is the second received from the UW -System. -The office was also awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council that is being used to fund speakers. Two presentations were given last semester and two more will take place this April. One of the speakers will be discussing Chinese Culture and its relation to dance and tradition. The free lecture will take place on April 21 following the Multicultural Center's awards ceremony. More information will be announced regarding the lectures as the dates grow nearer. Brown feels that cultural education is important for students entering a work force much more diverse than it was twenty years ago. "If we could get every department to have one course in diversity, then that would really open up the world to all the students on campus." Chancellor's inaugural activities by Pamela Bradshaw Staff Writer "University and Community: Moving Together into the 21 st Century" will be the theme for the inauguration ofPaI'kside's fourth Chancellor, Eleanor 1. Smith. The inauguration will be held on Saturday, April 1,_ at J 0 am in the Communication Arts Theater. Following the inauguration will be a reception and luncheon in Main Place. Other weekend activities will include a presentation of Chancellor Smith's work on Friday, March 31, and a University open house on Saturday, April 1, from 1:30to 3:30pm. The Friday presentation will be a concert written by Chancellor Smith entitled "Black Heritage: History, Music and Dance." The music will be from various periods of black history. It will be directed by Professor James Kinchen and performed by members of the UW-Parkside community and its environs. "I've always performed the concerts so it will be nice to see what somebody else does with it and I can sit there and look at it being performed and that will be very exciting," said Chancellor Smith, about the performance. The open house on Saturday will have displays, demonstrations and activities presented by the different departments, centers and programs at the University. Among the displays will be the architectural design for the proposed expansion of the physical education and housing buildings. Chancellor Smith encourages students to attend the inauguration because she thinks "they are a very important part of the community." The Chancellor states that one of her goals is "to open up this institution to the community and say we are a part of this community and you are a part of us." All the events will be free except for the luncheon which will cost $8 per person. The luncheon is subsidized by the university, but it couldn't cover the entire cost. Students will need to pick up tickets for the inauguration because space is limited. When and where the tickets will be available will be announced at a later time. iifK~. Calendar - p. 5 thlete of the Week . 6. • Stop the violence Grant pays for artists seen by him knowing where the woman goes, when. and with whom - sometimes why. She explained that the second stage of becoming a battered woman is done through emotions. A "constant mirage of verbal abuse" grows in time and it "affects a shift of thinking," she observed. "I don't care who you are, ... if I lock you up with someone who calls you names, he'll destroy your soul," she said. Carpenter told the audience that domestic violence is taught, for example, in literature. She noted that there are books which foster the notion that if a woman loves a troubled man and helps him, he'll change for the better. This notion, Carpenter explained, is as harmful as the tradition that places the needs of the husband and child first before her own according to Carpenter. It frustrated Carpenter that in the last thirty years, domestic violence has not changed, and that people only take notice of its magnitude "after we see some woman's dead and bloody body on TV." Carol Engberg, volunteer coordinator of Parkside's volunteer program was also present. She spoke of a collaboration of the Women's Horizon's Inc., Kenoshans Against Sexual Assault (KASA), and Carpenter's Domestic Violence Project to offer training to become a shelter supervisor for battered women, and advocate assistant, or a children's program assistant. The days and times of this training is at Kenosha Hospital in the auditorium from February 14.thru March 9 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-9:00 pm. For more information, Engberg told the audience to call her at 595-2011 or come into the Career Center in Wyllie Hall, D175. art programs which represent the various disciplines of the performing arts, is culturally diverse, and meets the needs of the Kenosha, Racine, and Uw-Parkside communities." UW -Parkside has been helped in this mission by Arts Midwest. This organization consists of members and friends in partnership with the National Endowment for the Arts. Ans Midwest puts human and financial resources towards enriching arts experiences for Midwestern residents. By designing, developing, and delivering high quality funding programs, publications, and training, Arts Midwest accomplishes this goal. by Brian Matsen Staff Writer At noon on Feb. I in Union 104, Colleen Carpenter, program coordinator for the Domestic Violence Project in Kenosha, spoke on "Stopping Domestic Violence" - beginning one of seven various Soup & Substance Lectures, sponsored by the Parkside Activities Board and the Lecture and Fine Arts Committee. Carpenter, working with battered women for the past ten years and an activist in the women's movement for a previous seven to eight years, began with an observation. "On some level. we are all battered women," she said. She asked that we consider typical high school bullies or other people who tended to control situations. She stated that the behavior exhibited by these people is all about power. She also asserted that power without responsibility is dangerous. Carpenter urged that "if I communicate nothing else [during this talk. it] is not to fall in love with someone who batters you." She was sad to inform the audience that battered women who exhibit low self-esteem have been placed in a system that is labeled as "others." She also said that this label is first ushered upon the women by isolation. Carpenter went on to explain that "She" gives up parts of her life to make the husband happy. "She" stdps hanging around friends and acquaintances who her husband. doesn't like. "She" tries as hard as she can to please him. but it is never enough or she is doing something wrong. Carpenter stated that the woman always falls short of his expectations, and that this is done purposefully. "Batterers are like addicts," Carpenter said ~ never satisfied. The husband's amount of control is by Brian Matsen Staff Writer On behalf of Parkside's Activity Board (PAB), Diane Welsh, the assistant director of student life and director of university activities, recently applied for a grant from Arts Midwest. By her initiative, the Accent on Enrichment series at Parkside has received a $960 grant from this institution. This funding will directly cover touring artist and performance fees. Welsh observed that the Accent on Enrichment has been around since the 1%9 founding of Uw-Parksioe. The series was originally entitled, The Lecture Fine Arts Series, and it has always been a part of Parkside. The program's primary focus has been diversity. "The mission of the Uw-Parkside Accent on Enrichment Series," Welsh said, "is to present a high quality series of performing Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens to perfonn saxophones, drums, electrical guitars, and a synthesizer. The group has displayed their talent throughout the world, including Europe, Japan, and Australia, as the Queens have performed choreographed dance routines with their harmonies and by the mighty sound of Mahlathini 's characteristic voice, which is said to resemble a lion's roar. To hear these international artists costs $5.50 for UW-P students and $11 forthe general public. "There's no other experience in pop music quite like it," wrote The Washington Post. by Brian Matsen Staff Writer • South African pop group, Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, will be performing Feb. 8 at 7 pm in the Communication Arts Theater. This high energy group. formed in the I960s, dresses in colorful Zulu costumes and performs "mbaquanga" music. By mixing traditional African rhythms, street music, and international pop, "Queens" has been best known for their infectious music and rhythms that center on pulsating guitars, Volunteer of the Week pleased with Andrea's service. She stated, "We need I0 more volunteers like Andrea. She comes to school regardless of the weather and is doing wonders with the children. She is totally committed to helping them succeed. One of my teachers said, 'She's a God-send.'" Andrea, thinking philosophically, reports, "Everyone needs to have a dream whether it be to overcome the ' devastation of a crippling disease or the frustration of a math problem. Dreams are what keep us trying even when everything seems to go downhill. Part of my dream is to help others attain theirs."
