Ritter News Editor Slate Representative Peter W Barca spoke before 25 stu. deBts Nov. 20 at the Parkside- StudentGovernment Associa- llon(pSGA) meeting, In an attempt to persuade the PSGASenate to reverse the standit has taken against the annexationof Parkside by the city ofKenosha. Barca was not aware until Ills arrival that the students bad actually passed a resolu- llonstating their opposition. "I think it's very impor- tant,not only for the univer- sity,but for the city of Keno- sha, that they are able to annexthis land, " Barca said. Barca refuted suspicions tbat annexation would cause a rise in tuition costs, and Pl'lmised to send the students formal correspondence from Madtsonverifying this. He explained that the pro. ceduresby which munIcipal rvices are paid in wtscon, havechanged. In the past, said, cities charged urn- verslties directly for services rendered. Now, a separate line-term provision In the state budget covers these costs. The city will benefit from annexation, Barca explained, because services are relm. bur-sed based on quallty. While the Town of Somers Is reimbursed $30,000 to $40,000 per year for the services it provides, which includes its volunteer fire department, the city of Kenosha would gain ten times that amount. Barca said Kenosha. because it has a full-time fire depart- ment and its own police de. partment, would be reim- bursed up to $400,000 by the state. . .'4you can see that the amount of revenue coming back to our community, .to this area, would increase ten. fold," Barca told the stu. dents. . Barca said that the quality of services will also improve in other areas, but he stressed the importance of uition waivers not the nly recruitment method by ,fenny Carr EdItor. Explainingthat his campus t had a two·fold purpose, he responsive to faculty, and stUdents arid to try Interpret for the citizens of area what the Board of ents has been doing, the dent of the UW Board of nts, Lawrence Wein* , met With the campus COlllmunityon Nov. 17.

In a brief summary of the document proposed by Shaw, adequate funding for recruit- ment of minorities and for reo tatnlng the students once they are In -the university were also addressed. _ In addition, Shaw has called for the federal govern- ment programs which have demonstrated that they w~rk like the TRIO program, Peli grants, Head Start, Upward Bound to continue. Weinstein placed a great deal of emphasis on retent- nlon. "It is a -tragedy to come Into the system and not sur- vive. It Is wrong to recruit students for numbers only. We must think of who these students are and what they will need to be successful here." Weinstein emphasized th~cl the entire Shaw proposal IS still to discussed at open hearings . In ,January.. He noted that one of the heanngs coUld be held near Parkside and he encouraged people to participate in those hearm~s. "It is important to exa~lne the entire issue and not Just focus on a small portion of it." he concluded. Peter Barca full-time professtonal fire pro- tection. Somers' volunteer fire de- partment is adequate for a residential area, he said, but not for dorm residents and the daily concentration of stu- dents on campus. In the event of a chemical fire, the Senate endorsement Somers fire department would be called, and the city woUld provide back-up if needed. If annexed, Parkside would call the .city fire de- partment directly. As a member of the Envi- ronmental Resource Commit. tee, Barca said he was re- cently presented With a bill that would require fire- fighters to be famillar With chemicals used In their dis- trict llkely to cause fires. This was in response to an in. cident in Madison in which .several persons were killed in a fire because firefighters ar- rived on the scene and did not know how to treat a particu- . lar chemical. . "Universities were included In this bill, at no small cost to the state," he said, "because we believe so strongly In the need to protect students." Other benefits to Parkslde would include ambulance and police services, as well as garbage pfek-up. "I believe very strongly that (annexation) would be a very positive beneflt to stu- dents, as well as to this insti- tution that I care very much about, " said Barca, who re- sides 1'h miles from campus. "So I would hope that you would in fact reconsider this resolution (opposing annexa- tion) and reverse your posi- tion." The resolution also stated that PSGA was joining Chan- cellor Sheila Kaplan In oppos- ing annexation. Barca said that his conversations with Kaplan have indicated that although she has some can. cems, she does not oppose the venture, but supports it. In a later telephone inter- view, Kaplan said that she never took a stand in opposi- tion to annexaton, and that, In fact, PSGA never asked her what her position was. "We want to look more ex. tenslvely Into the impllcations of annexation," she said. • 'U It would be good for the unI- versity, and if the Town of Somers and other parties in- volved are not negatively im- pacted, then we should seri- ously consider it. IJ Somers F.D. offended by Barca by Amy H. Ritter News Editor The Somers Fire Depart- ment apparently took offense to comments made by State Rep. Peter W. Barca here Nov. 20. Barca, In delivering a speech to the Parkslde stu- dent Government Association (PSGA) supporting the an- nexation of Parkside by the City of Kenosha, said that the university could better be served by Kenosha's full-time fire department than Somers' volunteer fire department. PSGA President Alex Pettit said he was contacted by off!· Congrats College Bowl Winning Wargamers! cials with the Somers squad who Invited him to tour their facilities to illustrate their competence. Pettit said he and/or Jan Kratochvil, a PSGA senator, wllI tour the facility Wednes. day, Dec. 2, and Invited a Ranger reporter to attend. According to a Nov. 25 artl- cle in the Kenosha News, members of Somers Fire and Rescue squads appeared at a Nov. 24 meeting of the Somers Town Board to pro- test the annexation. David Holtze, Somers Town Chairman, said the board is evaluating the issue. "We still don't know the full lmpact," he said. Town attorney Robert Kendall was directed by board members to research annexation laws and report to the board In early December. A meeting between City of Kenosha and Town of Somers representatives to discuss the possibility of annexing Park. side will be held Dec. 8 at 5:30p.m. In a Nov. 29 article, Holtze told the News the suggestion that Kenosha With tts 24.hour fire department could do a better job than Somers' voi- unteers is "a slap in the face." 2 Thursday, December 3. 1987 Ranger our view Roaches, rodents require responsible action -'It 18 not easy to put in stories in the paper each week and lIBten to the wrath of students, faculty, staff and ad- ministration when the stories are not popular. The impor- tant lhtng for the reader to remember Is that the Ranger does not make the news. It just reports It. In our last issue, there was a story concernIng the cock- roaches and rodents In the Union butldlng. Many thought- that It was sensationalist to run It on the front page and to headline It as It was. ThIs Is shortsighted thinking. It Is clear that readers are not Interested In when com- mlttees meet and what they diseuse. U the readers were concerned about the meetings. they would attend them. U that particular story had been run on page 6 referring to the mundane business of the committee. very few readers would know about the seriousness of the cockroach prcb- lem and very UtUe extra would have been done to correct the problem. That approach was taken and we were told that we were added to a lIBt of people who had com- plalned. With almost IlO percent of the Segregated Fee money lIOing to the mortgage. upkeep of the Union buUdlng and salartes of some of Its employees. It la imperative that 8tUdenta are aware of what their money is providing for them. U thla story had been burled, who would have known? Some of the nay-sayers clalmed that the cockroach sttu- atlon was well In control after reading the paper. yet the day before the paper hit the stands. roaches were sUll evt- dent In the Union. Since the story hit. the roach control- lers have hit the Union hard because no one wants to stay away. No one wants to lose business In these already hard Urnes. The roaches are now under control. It meant increasing the.vlalts of the pest control man. It meant spending some money. but the Union butldlng Is being taken care of now and presents a more appeaUng picture to Its patrons who. tor a IILrge part. are also Its benefactors. Student money la well spent when It provtdes all stu· dents with a place we can be proud of. and even when It means that an unpopular. unpleasant topic Uke cock· roaches has to be discussed, It will be worih the wrath to see that there la follow·through by the responsible parties. -----Lefters------ Student leaders should lead Tuition waivers draw support To tile EdItor: Your November 19th edi- torial entitled.

Serrano,near the end of 1 campus lour, brought In- ational handouts to the torsabout United Council its function. Describing UnitedCouncil as a "non- t service and advocacy ration, 'owned and oper- by students," the hand- included information on organization's platorm what it has accomplished studenls. At the meeting, Serrano questioned .by PSGA sidentalex Pettit-concern- the operation of United ell. Peilltraised the issue of a lble Increase In the dalory refundable fee l, the fifty cents each t pays per semester to be represented by united Counefl. The MRF In total constitutes the entire United Council budget, Rumors have been ctrculattng throughout the system schools ·that this amount Is scheduled to In. crease. "I don't see United Council . as ever raising Its fee," Ser-' rano stated. "Because of the process that's built-in, it would take so long, and be- cause of the political arena that we are In, 1 don't see us raising the fee." Before Serrano became- president, a complaint was filed by three former mem- bers of United Council's staff with the Equal Opportunity Commission alleging sexual harrasment in the form of .dtscrtmtnatton and differen· tial treatment based on sex. Serrano stated that he has an appointment with an attorney to review the matter. The complaint will be discussed at the January UC meeting. A third concern Pettit raised revolves around the Adrian Serrano United Council's lack of of Implementation of the Stu- dents Taking Action AgaInst Rape (STAAR) project for which they received a $20,000 federal grant. The under- standing the federal govern- ment had with UC was that United Council would match the federal funds, thereby creating a total of $40,000. ,The grant was given to have 13 campus volunteer coordinators and one state- wide coordinator to organize, traIn and implement a pro- gram to asstst victims of sex- ual assault. the program never got off the ground an6 the money was spent. Serrano told the senate that a repay. ment program !las been worked out with the federal government. "The administration of the Victims of Crime (VOCA) was very much mislead, as much as the general assem- bly was, as what was going on with ST AAR financially. Because of that, he doesn't want a big issue made of this, so he was worked out a very reasonable payback sched- ule," Serrano sald. "I can't remember what the numbers are, but It is scheduled to be paId back by the end of the year. As far as I know, we haven't had any problem making the payments." Serrano went on to allay concerns about United Coun- cil's operating budget prob- lems. "I know there have been some rumors floating around that we have not been able to make payroll and that I was spending all the money on travel visiting the campuses and going all around the country. We have never pay. roll. J anua;y, the beginning of Fedruary and September are the tough months because the payroll is paId out of the MRF, and we get all of our money right at the beginning of October and the mlddie of February. Before we receive the money, the fund gets pretty low, but we have made payroll every time and we are on target with all our debts." Information concerning United Council's operation Is available through the PSGA . office located In the 0-1 level of the Wyllie Llbrary·Learn· Ing Center, near the Coffee Shoppe. ourof Somers FD affirms Senate's position Doug McEvoy e of the most controver- Issues at Parkslde lately been the possible annexa. of the campus to Keno. . Peler Barca, the State resentatlve for this area a strong supporter of th~ exaUon.

After g the Somers fire de. t ment , the Parkslde Stu- IPSG~)vernment Association felt that the annexa. Is definitely not just for lbgoodof the campus, but er SOlelyfor the good of nosha.

"Officially we can't take a stand on the Issue as a de- partment except to say that we feel we can serve Park- side's needs more than ade- quately," Krause comment- ed. ' .Barca insisted that the quality of service Parkslde should receive from Kenosha Is better than that of Somers. He felt that the' Somers fire department Is Inadequate to serve a complex as large as Parkslde and the annexation would bring an additional $400,000 to $700,000 In state revenue Into the city of Keno· sha. One of the maIn Issues dts- cussed between PSGA and the Somers departinent was . that of response time. Once an alarm has been sounded at Parkslde for a fire, the Somers response time Is only 5-7 minutes to Kenosha's re- sponse time of up to 15-20 minutes. This difference can be crucial, especially if a fire were to start In the dorms. Their wood construction and thin walls leave them espe- cially susceptible to rapid spread of fire. Kenosha'S re- sponse times may change upon completion of Its north· side station. Barca claimed that the fact that the Kenosha department Is a full·time department . means that It Is better equipped to serve the needs of Parkslde. The Somers de- partment claimed that quite the,opposlte Is true. liThe tanker at Somers can carry up to 1000 gallons of water and Is capable of un- loading the entire amount In only one minute. If neces- sary," Krause explained. Kenosha has no such tankers, and relies entirely on the hy- 'drant system. Somers also has two off-road four-wheel drive vehicles for combatting grass fires. The Kenosha de- partment has no such vehi- cles. The paramedics In Somers are of a higher classification than those In Kenosha. They are required to be re-certlfied every two years, which en- tails being up to date on all new procedures. The mutual aid box alarm system allows Somers to draw upon other fire depart- . ments for ald. If the Somers department found themselves In a situation that they could not handie alone, they would initiate' the first alarm, then the second, then the third, and so on. Each time they would contact a group of local departments, drawing oh the nearest stations first, until In theory they would ,,"ve. enough equipment to manage the worst Imaginable sttua- tlon. The system does not draw too much support from any one station so as not to disa- ble them from responding to other calls. Kenosha has not yet officially joined with Somers In this system. Currently, the Somers fire department has a direct com- municatlon system with Parkslde security. They are able to be told exact sltua- tlons In the case of an emer- gency and are escorted by the campus pollee dtrectly to the scene. -When a call comes in from the dispatcher, beepers go off on the belts of the vol- unteers. Those in the immedi- ate area go to the station and bring the equipment to the scene, .where those who wer~ not In the area at the time will meet them or will be waiting for them. On the Iowa "lerage, Somers would respond to a call with 12 men to Kenosha's six. Somer's high average is 25 men. Somers would respond to a Parkslde call with. one aerial, one pumper, two tank- ers and a rescue unit. Should more be requtred they can bring In two more pumpers from their second station. IJ the incident were to inVOlVE hazardous matertaIs, they carry a book on how to treat various emergencies involv- Ing hazardous materIals at all times. They also have accees to a company called Chem· track for additional asslst- ance .

Each of the student areas has been prepanng their budgets to present them to the committee. Each area wlll no doubt offer Its members the opportunity to evaluate the budget before It Is presented to SUFAC. The Union building bears the burden of being the area with the largest financial support of the students. Last year, $284,941 of the $763,101 Segregated Fee budget went to support the Union. It Is vtlal that as much student input Is given to the budgets of the Union as possible. ThIs Is the time to have the Parkslde Union Advisory Board (PUAB) exhibit Its unique ability to evaluate the Union budgets and make pertinent suggestions before SUF AC sees them in order to afford students as much representation as possible in the declslon-m&!<lngprocess. Havtng a prtmary student group examine the Union budget before It goes to SUFAC Is not only our responsl .. bUty, It Is our right. To'lbe Editor: I read with great Interest the opinion stated in the Dec. 8rd Issue of the Ranger. I am referring to the article on an- nexatlon. WhUe I do not know enough about the politics of annexation or the financial benefits received, I do know somethlng about the benents- /drawhacks of an increase in fire and rescue protection. Having spent six years with a professional fire and rescue department as a FIrefighter FIrst Class/Paramedic I feel that some of the etatements make by the EMT-D from Somers Volunteer FIre De. partment were not quite cor. rect; furthermore, I feel It Is my responalbility to point out these discrepancies. I want to begin with the statement "Most of Somers' EMTs are certified EMT-Ds meaning they can deflbrltate in cases of cardiac arrest." ThIs statement Is very mts- leading to the general public. Most people are unfamiliar with the terms of cardiac ar- rest or deflbr1Uation. . C&rd1ac arrest is a cessa- tion of the heart muscle to pump the blood throughout • • issue the body. It also means that the lungs are not exchanging the gases (oxygen and carbon dioxide) as they would nor- mally do. In the case of ven- trlcular flbr1liatlon (a symp- tom of cardiac arrest) the heart's electrical system Is not flJIlctlonlng properly. By deflbr1liatlng, the rescuer Is provtdlng an outside source of electricity to try and "jump start" the heart back into Its normal rhythm. If this Is sue- essM, the next step Is the administration of cardisc drugs, such as lidocaine or bretylium. When these drugs are not administered the chance. of the patient re-de- veloplng the ventricular fl- br1Uation rhythm Is extreme- ly high. An EMT -0 cannot admlnls. ter these cardiac drugs' and, therefore, Is only provtdlng a fraction of the treatment that Is called for. If the rescuer Is not successful in converting the patient into a life sustaln- gin heart rhythm, they wlll simply deflbr1Uate again and again. Each time the heart Is deflbr1liated there Is a certain amount of scar tissue formed and severe damage done to and Ranger :Ir------:~---------------------------~----------~:i your views J. Annexation the heart muscle. At the same time the lactic acid Is building up to lethal levels and other cardlsc drugs must be administered to prevent this. What I am trying to point out Is that the EMT·D Is only provtdlng care one minimal step above the EMT-A, lind in certain cases can actually do more damage to the heart muscle than good. When I was trained as a paramedic one fundamental point of treatment was f'if you can't do any good, don't do any harm". All EMTs have to undergo refresher training periodi- cally, so the statement that "our EMTa attend a refresh- er class every two years and are certified In CPR every year." is again very mislead. Ing. She Is Implying that the Kenosha Ftreflghter /EMTs do not undergo thls same type of training when It Is in fact state mandated. The issue ·of response time mentioned by the EMT-D from Somer's also has very amblgiJous undertones. The response from Somers' sta- tion has two major draw.
