PUAB discusses enforcement of new drinking age law Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Chancellor Alan PUAB discusses enforcement of new drinking age law by Jennie Tunkieicz News Editor "How do we keep underage students from drinking in the Union? We don't want to be a police state and we don't want to be winking at the law, so what do we do?" asked Assistant Chancellor Carla Stoffle last week. Enforcement of the new drinking age law in the Union on campus was the discussed topic at the Friday, April 13 PUAB (Parkside Union Advisory Board) meeting. Stoffle and Security director Ron Brinkman were invited to the meeting to discuss their roles in enforcement and disciplinary actions when the new drinking age law takes effect in July. The board felt that it would be in the best interest of the Union to find out what disciplinary procedures and enforcement of the law will be followed by the campus before they form any conclusions in that area. Stoffle said that college campuses are in a unique situation in that they were deliberately omitted in one area by the legislature in the new drinking age law. This omission gives campuses the option to establish their own policies concerning the law. After PUAB finishes their proposal package, and if the package is approved, Stoffle said she will meet with Assistant Chancellor Gary Goetz, Brinkman, and disciplinarian Jenny Price "to discuss how to cany out the proposals." Stoffle said that she would appreciate PUAB's advice concerning discipline and enforcement. "I've never been a bartender here, I don't know all the problems, and I'm not always aware of the pitfalls," she said. Jack Kemper, SOC (Student Organization Council) representative, said that he feels students should know that something will happen if they do not follow the rules. "I also don't feel that hauling people off to the D.A.'s office will all the time be sufficient," he said. Brinkman said that one way to handle the situation if people are breaking the law (underage drinking or sharing alcohol with underage students) would be for Security personnel to first issue warnings, second time abusers would be sent to Price for disciplinary action and third or fourth time abusers would be arrested. "There is no rule saying that we have to arrest people immediately," said Brinkman. "Educating the bartenders, hiring addtional staff, establishing pro- 'cedures, explaining the law to students with signs or some other mechanism to warn them about the law are some of the ideas Stoffle added. Bruce Preston, committee member, said that community tavern owners will be watching the campus very closely. Brinkman added, "(Tavern owners) are going to put (students) in a fish bowl and watch their every move." PUAB plans further discussion of alcohol policies and possible ways to enforce the new drinking age laws on the campus. The group will not meet on Friday, April 20 but Open Forum with Guskin April 30 Ranger is sponsoring an open forum with Chancellor Alan Guskin on Monday, April 30 at 1 p.m. in Main Place. All welcome to attend to ask qu estions or make comments to the chancellor. Be sure to at^ "avc w dIiesi people will probably meet April 27. tteenndd.. Kilbourne examines alcohol advertising bhiy/ Cfoarrnoll KIT AorI^tAenMdfliicnklr 1 . . "The two major aspects in today's Society are alcohol and advertisingf' said media analyst and writer Dr. Jean Kilbourne, who talked at Parkside last Wednesday on the effects of advertising on alcohol consumption. Creator of two films, "The Naked Truth" and "Under The Influence," Kilbourne has exposed the media industry over alcohol. At the beginning of the lecture she stressed, "This is not a temperance lecture, nor a lecture on alcoholism, but rather it's an examina-^ tion of the atittudes about alcohol . in this society and the effects of these attitudes on whether we drink or not." She also said, "My aim is not simply to reform the advertisers, but to use these ads to illustrate just what these advertisers are perpetuating and reinforcing in these present attitudes." "Ads alone don't cause alcoholism," according to Kilbourne, "but they do play a big role in the U.S. by establishing norms and creating a climate. Alcohol is presented as a myth. The point of a ll advertising is not to uform but to establish myths. Advertisers play on the conscious and unconscious so people associate alcohol with good things. "Alcohol advertisers link alcohol with many positive qualities and attributes, the very qualities that the abuse of alcohol diminishes or destroys," stated Kilbourne. "Alcohol is big business," said INSIDE Student artists show their work Drummer Shaugknessy to perform Moliere's "Miser" plays at Parkside Women's softball on winning streak Kilbourne. "The Revenue is over $40 billion dollars a year and the industry spends over $1 billion on advertising alone. That's 20 times more than the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism uses in the prevention, research and treatment of alcoholism." As stated before, alcohol advertising employs several links to human qualities and feelings. People like to celebrate, and the essential part of every holiday is alcohol. Advertisers imply something else in some ads: "Holidays were made for Michelob." According to Kilbourne, "The point of holidays IS the beer." This ad also implies the same idea; "Actually, there are several good reasons for getting married." Success is another desired quality. Advertisers play on this need. "There is a relationship between alcohol and success, however negative. Even small amounts of alcohol decrease Alertness and efficiency," said Kilbourne. "Advertisers, however, display it as a magic potion. It will even give you instant athletic abilities, second only to Tampax." Kilbourne claimed, "There isn't a thing you can do that alcohol will make you do better." "Not only can you become a successful athlete, you can also become creative." "Edgar Allen Stroh," for instance, shows this. Poe was an alcoholic, he died of alcoholism and died a grotesque death. According to Kilbourne, Poe was an alcoholic at a time when there was no hope for alcoholics. "Imagine any other drug addiction that would be joked about. With alcohol it becomes acceptable," Kilbourne stated. There are several sighs of trouble that indicate a problem drinker and alcoholic. Isolation and loneliness become prevalent in an alcoholic's life. Advertisers turn it around with this ad: "Create your own special island." "Clearly, this is promoting solitary drinking, which is a sure way to get into trouble," Kilbourne advised. Other signs of trouble are fragmentation, life becoming unmanageable and when the drinker hoards his/her supply. "Alcohol is related to parties, good times and fun, but it's equally related to suicide, depression, murder, unemployment and sickness, but this side is erased," said Kilbourne. "Sixty percent of the general population that seeks psychological help for depression have a drinking problem, and the suicide rate of alcoholics is 58 times more than for non alcoholics," added Kilbourne. Kilbourne also discussed the effects of subliminal advertising. She defined it as being below the threshold of consciousness, nsiffiHy sexual. "These ads are not made to turn you on, but to make you anxious. Person sees ad, the unconscious image is repressed, repression sets up anxiety. Anxiety is a Continued on Page Z RANGER Letters to the Editor Disgusting behavior Dear Editor: I am a member of the Parkside Dart Team who is very perturbed with the behavior of some of my fellow students. Recently I had the opportunity to observe first hand the handiwork of some highly educated college students. On March 30, myself and some fellow dart players enjoyed a couple of hours of darts in the Recreation Center during the afternoon. Later that same day, while the band "Java" was taking a break, we went downstairs to toss a few more darts. We were greeted by the sight of a badly vandalized score board, dart board and best way out chart. Written across the scoreboard was "Dart Players are a bunch of Pussys." This kind of behavior leads me to support retroactive abortions. I sincerely hope the low life or low lives who are responsible for this act of degradation catch AIDS from a dirty needle and live for 11 years in fear before dying a slow and painful death. I am really fed up with vandals and thieves. If you see someone perpetrating an illegal act, call the campus security. We don't need scum sucking dogs roaming the halls of Parkside ripping people off or destroying what is left of the school. Idiots such as these only increase the cost of your tuition. Don't let these dirtbails run your life. Let them know you aren't going to put up with their behavior. Nick Thome 'WE SHOULD HAVE M/JVED PEARL HARBOR. I UNDERSTAND AN AMERICAN PRESIDENT WOULD NOT CONSIDER THAT AN ACT OF WAR." Another view of the caucus To the Editor: The general caucus chairperson was Sue Decker and the chairperson of the individual candidates were: Cletus Williams, Jr. (Mondale), James Pridding (Hart), M. A. Olson (Jackson) and S. Strickler (uncommitted). Election Ballot Results: First ballot: Mondale 1030, Hart 183, Jackson 32, Uncommitted 14. Second ballot: Mondale 1033, Hart 225, Ja ckson 0, Uncommitted 1. Taking the bus to the UAW Hall was a real adventure for me and my walker since the closest stop the bus made was by the entrance of the Vision Center on Washington Road and the closest and safest route was through a steep undercut field. The officials at the door were kind enough to let me come in and sit down before registration began. A sergeant-at-arms conducted me to a room to wait, and as I entered that room I was struck by the fact that the UAW off icials were escoring some 200 o r so retirees to the front of the building to stand in line. I found out later that the UAW retirees have a meeting the first Saturday of every month, and they moved that day's meeting to the morning to accommodate the caucus. "A stroke of good luck to pack a caucus for Mondale." Next I met a newly franchised voter and Hart supporter, and also the Hart supporter's parent, who was a Mondale backer. The parent was trying valiantly to change their off-spring's mind. Finally the parent said, "I have an economic reason for you to support Mondale, and it is called room and board." Sorry to say I did not see that Hart backer in the Hart section of the caucus later. "Chalk one up for coercion for Mondale." Too bad that young voter could not decide on national issues. Upon turning around, I saw someone who I knew tried to run for alderman on the Republican ticket and asked him what he was doing there. He said he was with his wife who was a Jackson supporter. This so-called Repulican did not have a visitor sticker on, but was plastered with Mondale stickers all over his UAW ja cket. Maybe he didn't vote for Mondale, and I hope he didn't, for his own conscience' sake. Anyway, he probably did, just to curry favor from the union steward at work. "What a blatant ctoss-over vote for Mondale." By the way, if you want the union steward to stand up for your rights at work, you had better not let him see you in any other delegation other than Mr. Mondale's. Inside the Hart section of the caucus, I ran into many complaints, especially from the people from Western Kenosha County complaining that in the local papers there was no news about when or where the Democratic caucus was to take place. I was told that most of the county people had to call the County Clerk long distance for any information on the caucus. Saturday, April 7, 1984, s ure was a politically educational day for me. I learned first to pick a very neutral spot to hold the caucus, like my own county headquarters building, then use packing, coercion, crossover voters and stone silence in my opposition's stronghold. You can call this double hearsay, but I was told by James Priddis, Hart's caucus leader, that National Democratic Representative Robert Shapiro, who was there to observe the caucus, said that it was the dirtiest caucus he had ever seen run. Oh, by the way, five hour Kari "Sore Feet" Dixon: the uncommitted caucus ended at 4:30, the Jackson delegation joined the Hart caucus at 4:15, the Hart delegation ended at 6:45, and the Mondale delegation packed it in at 9:45. Anyone with other information on the Kenosha or Racine County caucuses, I'd like to hear from you 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. M-W-F in the PSGA office. Franklin Kuczenski Kilbourne looks at alcohol advertising Continued from Page 1 powerful motivation and abusers tend to be anxious, but feel alcohol will cure the anxiousness," Kilbourne said. "When the image becomes conscious, the ad loses power over us," she added. All alcohol advertising has three purposes, no matter how they are employed: recruit new members, increase consumption of product gpd assist buyers in choosing a *>rand. The ads want to get young people, want to show a new life style for them. They also want to maintain or increase present sales and, of course, influence a person to purchase a specific brand. The ads focus on the alcoholic in this respect, because, said Kilbourne, "Most heavy drinkers tend to stick to one type of alcohol." There are several symptoms of the problem drinker, according to Kilbourne. 1) Frequently drinking to a state of intoxication; 2) Drinking in order to function; 3) Missing classes or work due to hangovers; 4) Driving while drunk; 5) Blackouts; 6) Drinking alone; 7) Denying a drinking problem; 8) Doing something that you wouldn't do while sober. "These are all signs, but in the U. S. they are acceptable and funny. This saying expresses the attitude: 'I don't have a drinking problem, I drink, I get drunk, I fall down, no problem'," she said. "If you have problems with one drug, just take another," Kilbourne stated. "The morning after I discovered martinis, I discovered Alka Seltzer." "A hangover is a withdrawal from a drug," said Kilbourne. "If you're having a bad hangover, you're suffering withdrawal." Kilbourne added, "A blackout is when you're conscious, but jon't remember the next day what happened. It's a serious form of withdrawal and if it occurs, one should get help." "Alcoholism is a disease," said Kilbourne. "It has little to do with will power, as does any other disease." She also said, "There is no such thing as a typical alcoholic. Less than five percent are on Skid Row. An alcoholic is far more likely to be a man or woman over 30, with a family, home and job." "We don't know the causes. There is no common denominator. The only known relationship is that all alcoholics see alcohol as the most important thing in their lives," stated Kilbourne. Advertisers know this, and use it heavily throughout the ads.

Nelson; and "Broadway Basie's Way," with Count Basie. The Parkside Jazz Ensemble I has earned a reputation as consistently one of the finest young jazz ensembles in the Midwest. Parkside jazz ensembles have won "outstanding band" honors four times at the prestigious Midwest Jazz Festival at Elmhurst (111.) Colle ge, winning the latest honor at the festival's most recent competition last year. Two members of the current ensemble received individual awards for outstanding musicianship in the 1983 festival. Steve Jacob, of Kenosha, on saxophone, and Tim Fox, of Racine, on trumpet, were recognized as the Parkside Jazz Ensemble's outstanding musicians; and Fox was ranked second among outstanding musicians of the entire festival. Director Bell, who teaches woodwinds as Well as jazz at Parkside, earned bachelor's and master's degrees in music education from North Texas State University, where he was a member of the famed One O'Clock Lab Band for five years, including service as a graduate student director and lead alto saxophonist for two years. Bell performed with name bands and top entertainers including Tom Jones, Glenn Campbell, Jack Benny, Bobby Vinton, Rich Little and Burt Bacharach. Since coming to Parkside in 1975, he also has performed on saxophone with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, as well as with many classical ensembles in southeast Wisconsin. He frequently performs as a sideman in Chicago with the Ralph Berger orchestra for commercial and jazz engagements. * "**• i "Tonight Show" drummer Ed Shaughnessy will join the Parkside Jazz Ensemble I for a May 8 concert. Correction The Corporation for Professional Development was incorrectly identified in the Communication Colloquia story last week. Ranger regrets the error. Ranger needs writers Students tflearn by doing 99 by J ennie Tunldeicz News Editor "Learning by doing" is the philosophy maintained by the Corporation for Professional Development, an organization which is concerned with enhancing the learning experiences for themselves, other students and the community. The organization was formed in Spring 1983 under the auspices of the Communication Department students who "wanted to take the skills and competencies learned in the classroom and apply them to real life," said Traci Fordham, CPD Information Services Coordinator. CPD has sponsored many workshops and colloquia for students and plans more for the future. The group will host Ralph Stayer, Chief Executive Officer of Johnsonville Sausage, on April 25. The group also is in charge of Communication Internships, held a workshop at Capsule College and hosted Communication Major Alumni panel discussions and many other activities. Fordham said that CPD members are encouraged to "take their competencies and interests and expand on them by creating their own type of program or job." An example of this philosophy is the CPD Inreach/Outreach Program. Susan Moles', Inreach/Outreach Coordinator's, interests lie in public speaking. Her job is to bring people on the campus from the community to speak as well as take university people to speak in the community. "We plan these programs to help students learn...to help students 'shed their student skins.' In other words, we help them take the things that they have learned in the classroom and apply them to other things," said Fordham. One goal of CPD, according to Fordham, is to enhance the quality of student graduates. Membership in CPD helps these students gain experience in their area of interest. "We do many things students would be unable to do outside the classroom," she said. Preparing surveys, reports, proposals and brochures are some of the skills required by businesses which CPD members learn. "I feel that I am much more prepared to go out and do things in the business world now that I have been in the corporation," said Fordham. CPD is run primarily by communication students. Some of the more active members include Steve Schreiner, Chief Executive officer; Jeff McKelvie and Jane Proesel, internship program; Moles, Inreach/ Outreach Program; and Eric Elsmo, information services; and Fordham, Information Services and Inreach/Outreach Program. Fordham added about CPD, "What it is all about is to not just sit back and go through the grind, but to really get something out of the university and the classroom setting...going beyond being a student and being professional within the school setting." Students interested in obtaining more information about the Corporation for Professional Development can contact Prof. David Habbel, Comm Arts 224, ext. 2017, Schreiner or Fordham.

JOIN RANGER NOW Thursday, April 19,1984 ActorT former teacher RANGER * Brown enjoys Parkside's stage of life by Ric k Luehr -—-— * I want to be flexible enough not to be considered a 'black actor,' but just an actor." Julian Brown, actor and former teacher is completing his second year at Parkside. He is working on his second degree, his first being an education degree from UWM. He says that he is "over 25", single and has an 8 year old son who lives in Milwaukee. Brown says one reason he picked Parkside was its proximity to Milwaukee." Another factor that was very important was (Parkside drama professor) Lee Van Dyke." Lee sent me tickets to a show here. When I came down and talked to Lee, I was impressed by him. He sort of caught my ear and eye, and I thought that it would be a good experience to work with him." Brown has- been accepted in the graduate acting program at Temple University in Philadelphia, making this his last semester at Parkside. He has also been accepted at the Goodman Theatre in Chicago, Oklahoma State, and Michigan State. "But I've decided on Temple, so I'll be moving to Philadelphia for three years," he said. I don't know a I've been lucky. I've played a wide contrast of roles. I've been given the opportunity to pick up different angles and go in different directions. There's still so much that I have to learn." Julian Brown exactly what it's going to bring. I think they have a fairly interesting program. The people that I've met there from the program and talked to have all been fairly impressive." Another thing he likes about Temple is its nearness to New York City. It's about two hours from Philly to New York, so I'm close to the things that go on. They open many plays that eventually go to Broadway in Philadelphia and it's on the east coast. Brown lived on the west coast, in L A. for four years and said he didn't particularly like what's going on out there. "I much prefer what's going on out on the east coast. There's a sort of laid back approach to life on the west coast. I remember one day, I went to the barber and there was a sign in the window that said "Closed for the day, gone to the beach." I mean, I need a haircut, I've got a job interview, and this guy's gone to the beach. People in New York are more conscious of what they're doing." Brown feels ready for the change. "I think that the motivational forces that you get on the east coast are much sharper than you get on the west coast because people are up and aggressive and out there at six in the morning doing it, whereas people in L.A. are on the beach playing volleyball. It's a totally different lifestyle, and I'm ready for that." Of course, after college, Brown would like to work professionally as an actor. "An ideal situation for me would be to manage my own time, teach, and be able to work professionally. I wouldn't need to be working back to back all the time. If I could manage my money so that I could do YOUR As AND Bs COULD GET YOU INTO OLCS. Your Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree could be your ticket into Army Officer Candidate School (OCS). Naturally, you have to pass mental and physical tests. Then complete basic training, and you're on your way to O.C.S. at Fort Benning, Georgia. Fourteen weeks later, you could be wearing second lieutenant's bars. It's not easy. But you'll come out tough. Sure in your ability to lead. You'll be in great shape. And you'll gain management skills civilian corporations look for. When you think about your future, O.C.S. seems like a great place to start. Look into it with your Army Recruiter. SSG Robert Centerbar 8600 Sheridan Road Kenosha 697-0520 ARMY BEALLYOUCANBE. Ranger photo by Dave McEvoy Student, actor, former teacher Julian Brown one or two shows a year, and then have some time to spend writing, play my flute, and just live, spending lots of time with my son, it would be ideal. Of course, not in that order because my son is at the top of the list." Brown looks back on his two years at Parkside as being a basically positive time. " It will always be part of my life. There are a lot of people that IH meet again somewhere. The for- .mulation of fr iendships is not some- * thing that just flakes off. I guess I've learned that in the last couple of years, because there are people from this area that I'm going to stay in touch with, so that my phone bill keeps up it's $150 average. I think that I have made some real and true friends here, " he said. The time at Parkside has also been a great learning experience. "There's two ways of learning. You learn from what the instructor says, and you learn from the culture, so it's like subteaching. I remember when I first got to Parkside, walking down the hall and people saying 'hello". This was on the heels of coming for L.A. where people will walk aU over you. So I knew immediately that I was in a different environment, and I found a lot of things that were positive about that. There is a lot of sincerity in people. On the other hand, there's a lot of 'Peyton Place' type stuff going on. The small town, closed ipinded thinking. But, aU in all it's nice." Among his roles in Parkside plays are Petey in "The Birthday 5^-'' Panisse in "Ring Round The Moon", Private Meek in "Too True To Be Good," and his present role as La Fleche in "The Miser " I ve been lucky. I've played a wide contrast of roles. I've been given the opportunity to pick up different angles and go in different directions. There's still so much that I have to learn." One of the things that he has learned is that he enjoys studio theater. "You can hear people breathe, you can feel them in your space. Your concentration has to be right there because if it's not, you're going to trip over someone's feet and fall into the audience. I like that challenge." Another thing Brown enjoys is the summer productions at Parkside. "Last year's summer shows were the first time I had ever done summer stock. We, in essence, rehearse for two weeks and put on a play. It was so frightening to me only having two weeks to rehearse. But I'd like to get the chance to do it again. It gave me a great respect for the rehearsal process. An incident that occured during last summer's production showed the dedication to acting that Brown has. "This woman went through a stop sign and I was going about thirty miles per hour on my motorcycle. I slammed into the side of her car, flew over it, and flipped three times. They took me to the hospital in an ambulance. I got up out of the hospital and went to re hearsal. About midway through, however, my body said 'Don't you realize that you've been in a motorcycle accident', and I just sort of folded up." Brown said that if he could play any role, it would be "Othello." "Maybe it will have significance for me, I'm, not sure why, but it's something that kind of lays there more than anything else. I would like to be able to do the role differently than any of the other great actors who have played the role.

A pair of passes to the Union Cinema (sponsored by PAB) will be given to each winner. Prizes must be picked up from Donna Nicholson, L/LC by Friday, April 27. by Kari Dixon The annoying and sometimes debilitating problem of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) can be alleviated with vitamins and a proper diet and exercise routine, according to Patricia Limburg, counselor at Family Planning Inc., of Racine, who spoke at the Women's Studies seminar last Wednesday. According to Limburg, it is estimated that from five to forty percent of the female population suffers from PMS, but she believes the numbers are higher. PMS, by definition, is any symptom or complaint that is present before menstruation. To actually be PMS, the symptoms must be present sometime after ovulation and before or during the bleeding. PMS can be mild, moderate or severe. "The majority of the symptoms of PMS are associated with the fact that the body is retaining water," Limburg said. "Some women just refuse to leave the house during this time." The reason that PMS is surrounded by some controversy is because it is hard to determine scientifically. "There are no tests to diagnose PMS," Limburg continued. "Because it is women-related and women-reported, there has been some resistance from the medical community." The symptoms of PMS are varied. The more common include bloating, sore breasts, lower backache, nausea, food cravings, depression and lethargy. The more uncommon ones include sinus trouble, vision problems, fainting, panic attacks, Help Wanted NEED CASH?

Because some of these symptoms can indicate other problems besides PMS, Limburg suggests that all suspected PMS sufferers have complete physicals to rule out other medical causes for the problems. PMS, according to Limburg, is often hereditary and can worsen or begin near menopause. The women who suffer from PMS tend also to have weight problems and usually cannot tolerate the birth control pill. "The usual medical treatment for PMS is a diuretic to relieve the bloating and a tranquilizer to relieve the tension," Limburg said. "This is really no good." Instead of the more traditional treatment, Limburg suggested a different route. The first step is keeping a PMS diary to see exactly what symptoms occur at exactly what time. The cause of PMS, Lim- Continued from Page 5 The Fourth Annual Parkside International Computer Problem- Solving Contest for elementary, junior and senior high school students will be held in conjunction with the fair.

A special low salt diet that also eliminates all caffiene (including chocolate, tea, coffee and Coke) and aerobic-like exercises at least three times a week are also recommended to help the body deal with the problems of water retention. One vitamin, called Optivite, has been a great help to some of the women, Limburg said. "PMS is still more like witchcraft than science," she said. "Women must rely on each other to read the symptomatology," she said. Perhaps the only good aspect of PMS is that it often results in an increased libido prior to menstruation.

T u e i, ?°, ' KDen0Sha- Rebecca Julich, Racine, (both standing and John Muskuhn Racine rehearsed a scene from Moliere's class farce The Miser, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside dramati arts discipline s spring mam stage production to be performed on Fr days, April 27 and May 4, and Saturdays, April 28 and May 5. All pei formances are at 8 p.m. in the Communication Arts Theater. Plays at Parkside 4The Miser' arrives Moliere's classic comedic farce "The Miser," a play that reveals human vice and folly with irrepressible joy, is the Parkside dramatic arts discipline's Spring main stage production, directed by Prof. Lee Van Dyke. The play will be performed over two consecutive weekends, on Fridays April 27 and May 4, and on Saturdays April 28 and May 5. All performances are at 8 p.m. in the Communication Arts Theater. "The Miser," a 17th century French play that sets the standards by which comedy and comic acting have ever since been judged, concerns Harpagon, the central character who is determined to spend as little money as possible. Harpagon takes to holding onto his money so obsessively that he becomes convinced that his servants are robbing him, and he buries his money in the garden rather than trust it to a bank. He doesn't approve of the money his son spends on clothing, and he wants to marry off his daughter to the first man who will have her without a dowry — n o matter how old he is. The miser's children meet and fall in love with people they intend to marry, but Harpagon announces his own wedding plans: he' will marry the girl with whom his son is in love, and his wealthy friend will marry his (Harpagon's) daughter. Van Dyke said the resolution of this situation is sure to inspire laughter in the audience. "In writing his plays, Moliere drew frequently upon the Italian form called 'Comedia deU'arte,' which is based on improvisation, stock characters and 'lazzi,' or small comedic pieces," Van Dyke said. "Modern equivalents of that style of comedy include the walk of Charlie Chaplin, the famous 'Who's on First' exchange between Abbott and Costello and the contemporary Second City troupe from Chicago." Van Dyke said Moliere's humor is universal and has endured for three centuries. "It's astonishing to find out how fresh Moliere's characters and situations are — and those characters and situations form the basis of Moliere's humor." Van Dyke called Moliere "one of the funniest people in history. Moliere was the Shakespeare of France, except that he concerned himself exclusively with comedy." Cast members of the play include Steve Orth, Scott Reichelsdorf, Mary Beth Kelleher and Andrew Brhel, Kenosha; Paula Boehler, John Muskulin, Rebecca Julich, Bill Serpe and James Walker, Ra- Continued on Page 10 "Beef" gives the beef on alcohol policies Astute readers will probably have noticed by now that the administration is debating on possible new alcohol policies in the Union. As this will likely affect nearly every student on campus, I decided to nip down to the administration offices and ask "Beef" O'Jooce, director of student responsibility, about the proposed changes. Responding to the charges that the new policies were 'assinine' and 'mindless,' O'Jooce quickly stood up to the administration's critics. "Basically, we wanted to cut down on under-age drinking without detering our older population from the occasional quick one with their friends. I believe we have reached a comfortable compromise." said Beef. "We had to focus on two main problems. The first was actually stopping minors from purchasing alcohol, and the second was to cut out the sharing of drinks by seniors." ' 'Our One-Beer-Per-Trip-To-Bar policy was a bit lax, so now all purchases of beer and wine must be accompanied by on-the-spot blood tests, urine analysis, presentation of birth certificates and passports plus retina scan and fingerprint matching. "As the whole process should take less than an hour, we feel it will be unlikely to dissuade our older drinkers," he quipped. Regarding the heinous crime of drink-sharing, "Beef" announced new administrative policies designed to combat this lethal wrongdoing. "Actually, we've been toying with the idea of lacing all drinks with small but lethal doses of cyanide," acknowledged O'Jooce, "which, believe you me, will cut down on this beer-sharing business something drastic." However, there were dissenters to this plan. "Yea, the chancellor wimped out again," said "Beef," with a trace of bitterness in his voice. "That pansy by John Kovalic Feature Editor was afraid of t he reaction from parents. What a wimp." The new policies are somewhat less drastic. "Anyway, we finally decided to cut down on the size of drinks again. After playing around with the idea of just pouring the drinks right down their yaps, we started thinking of reinstating the one-and two-ounce glasses. Eventually we cut that out. Too f—liberal, if you ask me." "The size of a large beer," he continued, the pitch of his voice reaching dangerous altitudes, "was finally decided to be no more than that of a fair-sized thimble." But that is just the beginning, he indicated. \ "At the moment, we're just putting the finishing touches on an amendment to really cut down on sharing. "All wine and beer glasses are to be encased in three tons of molten lead and concrete and buried in a secret location somewhere in the Rockies," he said, grinning broadly. "And if that doesn't work, we'll just shoot the bastards." * * * * * * * * * * What with the Democratic primaries well on the way, and what with a new government at the helm of Parkside's student body, I decided it was time to put my one political science class to good use. I therefore offer the following as a list of laws, by-laws and proprosals any aspiring political candidate would do well to include in future manifestos. Take heed, Gary Hart. These are the real new ideas. • Anyone caught saying "Where's the Beef?" should first be publicly flogged, to be followed by not less than a hail of small arms fire. • All cafeteria cheeseburgers should be labeled with the warning, 'Not to be taken internally.' • Public humiliation of person or persons found wearing 'I Love Michael Jackson' buttons, to be followed by a two-year term locked in a small box in Utah. • The force-feeding of male hormones to the afore-mentioned Jackson, with serious thoughts about the same for Boy George, Richard Simmons and the Smurfs. • Give accounting majors their own room in Molinaro Hall. Lock them in it. • Make it legal to beat person or persons sadistically about the head with a large blunt object upon the utterance, 'Have a Nice Day.' • Ban California. • Restrict the sales of coffee shoppe bagels as lethal weapons, especially when used in hand-tohand combat or ingested. • Immediate withdrawal of all US combat forces from Lebanon and Central America followed by the invasion of Akron, Ohio. • Record conversations between communications majors and play back recordings to same. Wait for resulting hemorrhaging. 8 Thursday, April 19,1984 RANGER Student art Art show successes Ranger photo by Michael Kailas Students whose art is currently on exhibit include (left to right) Bill Grieder (Library Purchase Award), Frank Mandli (Award Recipient), Karen Cairo (Honorable Mention), Kenneth J. Kangas (Best of Show and Honorable Mention), Brian Passino (Award Recipient), Deb Rolling (President, Art Addicts), Karen Roszkowski and Bob Ludwig (Honorable Mentions). PLO se on campus A juried show of works by Parkside art students featuring an impresive array of art forms including painting, sculpture, ceramics and mixed media is on display in the Communication Arts Gallery through Thursday, May 3. 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. The juried exhibit includes 56 works selected from 141 entries by juror Joseph Wilfer, a widely recognized papermaker, typographist and graphic designer who is a visiting professor at UW-Madison. Wilfer selected the works on the basis of creativity, innovation and use of materials. The show is sponsored by a student club, the Art Addicts, and by the Parkside Art Discipline in the Fine Arts Division, and includes three cash awards and four honorable mentions along with a Parkside library purchase award. The first prize, of $40, was awarded to Kenneth J. Kangas, of Kenosha for his work titled "Sunday Night," a birch veneer woodcut depicting a cozy domestic scene featuring enormously dramatic contrasts between light and darkness, geometric and fluid shapes and horizontal and vertical lines. Kansas, 34, is a junior who works third shift at the Chicago & Northwestern Transportation Co. as a yard clerk and attends Parkside part-time during the day. He said "Sunday Night" is a depiction of his two children, Carey, 8, and Cassie, 6, on a typical Sunday night lying in front of the TV set in the living room. Kangas also won an honorable mention for his oil painting titled "Thirteenth Avenue," which shows a real-life two story structure at 13th Ave. and 52nd St. in Kenosha, the first floor of which is a tavern, with the second floor housing apartments. The work communications a sense of loneliness and isolation in the tradition of urban-based artists, Kangas said. In addition, Kangas had a third work accepted in the show. It is a warmly colored acrylic painting titled "Extirpator," which depicts, on a grand scale, ordinary objects including a mouse trap, button and cleaning brush in a cardboard box. Kangas, who was supervised in the creation of "Sunday Night" by Parkside art professor Douglas Devinny, slyly incorporates gently humorous touches in his work. "Sunday Night," a woodcut, includes a wood-carved dude in one corner "watching over the children." "Thirteenth Avenue" features a one-way sign pointing in the direction of the tavern entrance, and "Extirpator" depicts a "Never- Miss" brand mouse trap that has been sprung, and "guess what, there's no mouse," Kangas said. He said, "I was overwhelmed just to be accepted in the show. I'm really honored. I know there are a lot of extremely talented and hardworking art students being taught by high-quality art faculty at Parkside. This show really means something to me." A cash award of $25 went to second- place winner Brian Passino, of Kenosha, for his giant and flamboyantly fluid oil painting titled "Flight," which gives the viewer the impression of flying over a strange and fascinating yellow, green and red planet, approaching an unfolding horizon. A $15 c ash price went to Frank Mandli, of Racine, who took third place for his intriguing "Pig H," a ceramic, feminine-faced pig bedecked in sparkling necklaces and dangling from slings in mid-air. A lithograph by William Grieder, Racine, titled "Baby's Ride," which shows a bemused baby sitting in a baby carriage along with a huge dog won the $75 UW-Parkside Library Purchase Award. The work will be put on permanent display in the Library. Other honorable mentions were awarded to Robert Ludwig of Racine for a polyester resin piece titled "Struggle;" Karen Cairo of Kenosha for an acrylic and mixed media work called "Creation;" and Karen Roszkowski for a copper and wood piece titled "Musical Reflections." by Nick Thome The Parkside Liberation Organization (PLO) is the newest group to seek major organization status. The PLO was formed early this semester to further the rights and freedoms of concerned students who feel special interest groups and members of the administration are discouraging the "American way of life" as set forth by our forefathers. Recently I had the opportunity to interview the man in charge of the PLO at the regional headquarters. The following is a condensed version of the conversations we had. Q. Colonel Keck, why was the PLO formed? A. The members of the Parkside Liberation Organziation are disgusted by the hypocrisy of special interest groups such as Women Against Pornography. They complained bitterly last year when Parkside showed the soft porn movie "Emanuelle," but they didn't say one word during the Foreign Film Festival when an underaged male child was graphically sodomized to death. Q. What are the PLO's feelings about the Union's projected alcohol policies? A. We were shocked by the elimination of pitchers and carafes. Never before has there been a complaint about the 17 year old students who came into the Union. We feel the Alcohol Awareness Committee is a bunch of namby-pamby, undersexed eunuchs with nothing better to do with their lives than to make other people unhappy. Q. By what means do you maintain your organization? A. We have sufficient funding from the private sector, in addition to the support from students, who feel as we do. We have the proper equipment and training to counteract the tainted menace that has been overshadowing the real pursuit of happiness at Parkside. Q. If there was one change you could make tomorrow here at Parkside, what would it be? A. We would terminate the Corporate Sponsorship Committee. The PLO was appalled at the elimination of corporate sponsored events such as Old Style night and Miller night. These events were immensely popular with the students since their beginning when the university first opened its doors. For some reason unknown to the average adult, the corporate sponsorship committee and the alcohol awareness committee have deemed college students incapable of deciding how much alcohol they should consume on any given occasion. Maybe they believe that we are not the future of this beloved country, but potential criminals who upon touching our lips to a cup of beer succumb to ancient animal desires and immediately rape and pillage the surrounding community leaving nothing that even remotely resembles human life forms in our wake. Were these people playground directors in another life who feel compelled to treat us as if we are mindless, whimpering brats? What was the Alcohol Awareness Committee? Why did they disband, leaving their totalitarian measures intact? Do they fear social retribution to such an extent that they would depart before an outraged student body could physically state its objection? We think so. Q. Colonel Keck, what is the American way of life? A. The American way of life is a feeling of self expression. The United States is the only country that believes in the individual, yet we are being subverted by outside factions that want to incorporate us into a homogeneous pool of garbage. I and my group aren't going to let that happen here. We will prevail.

Edgerton will be performed at 8 p.m. on Friday, April 27, in Communication Arts Room D-118. The works, which will include three compositions for flute, voice and guitar and three pieces for a mixed woodwind and string quintet, will be performed by about a dozen Parkside music students in various ensembles. Edgerton, a senior, will perform as a vocalist in the recital. A n ative of S turtevant, Edgerton has studied composition with Parkside music professor August Wegner for the last two years, and has sung in chamber groups under Parkside music professors Frank Mueller and William Weinert. In addition, he has studied under a number of area voice instructors, including Mary Christensen, Carol Irwin and Martha Dodds, and he has performed with the Renaissance Trio, an area vocal chamber group. After graduating from Parkside this spring, Edgerton plans to continue his music education by enrolling in a graduate school of music, where he will study composition. f°un(Jry to P^ue a baUet ca- [m ii't mean you should dress up like a woman and audition for a soap op...•&!»..don't let people know that you are a mermaid!

Happy Easter from the Ranger staff The Parkside Union EASTER WEEKEND HOURS Building and all its services closed ss of noon Good Friday. Good Friday food service WLLC coffee shop only! by Dick Oberbruner In an effort to avoid nationwide criticism, President Reagan is reportedly giving covert aid to struggling American farmers. He has authorized the U.S. Agriculture Department to launch a secret relief fund for eight Midwestern states: Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Hundreds of small farms are selling out due to financial difficulties. The plowing of f ields will be performed by migrant workers, equipped with farm implements supplied by the U.S. Army. "The spring plowing will be completed," one agriculture official declared. "Chalk up another win for Washington." Evidence for the need of help is obvious - a $215 billion farm debt, high corn prices raising feed costs and devaluating land worth. All this is taken in stride as Reagan promises "ongoing resolution of the current recession," and the "slow, but eventual, buildup of agricultural production." "I will continue to monitor America's small farmer as he pulls up his own bootstraps," he said in his weekly radio address. Meanwhile, under his breath, Reagan has bypassed congressional spending authority and approved emergency agricultural aid to Mid- America. Some 15,000 UW-funded migrants are being used to pressure small acreage farmers into agricultural gains. '"Die migrants represent an incentive for small farmers to move in a direction of belief in the system, despite drawbacks in the past," said another official. Small farms are becoming victims of large-scale business farms that receive direct aid from an otherwise trickle-down president. With more money in the hands of these business farmers, the small farm is, realistically, losing ground. They will soon become self-sustaining enterprises, a reversion to pre- Industrial Revolution days. "America's breadbasket is bottoming out," says Sen. Douglas Furr (D-m.). "Under the Reagan administration, farm production has suffered from a great deal of neglect. As a result, this entire country will have to diet for the next ten years to maintain its current surplus." In response to the accusation that farmers are not receiving enough aid, President Reagan said: "•••This is preposterous. Farmers are the backbone of our nation, next to the armed forces. The federal government spent record amounts to protect farm incomes in 1983. The downfall of the American farmer has not resulted from any oversight of this administration " Meanwhile, $348 million is being pumped into these eight states. Two-thirds of it goes to dairy farmers, one-third to grain farmers. The president has once again failed to keep a covert operation covert. As you may know, U. S. military intervention in Central America has been horrificaUy concealed — li ke Minnesota Fats hiding behind the eight ball. Agriculture representatives are in each of the depressed states, as well, working with thousands of farmers. They are advising them how to spend federal money efficiently, to ensure maximum output and future stability. In Kansas, official reports show wheat farmers improving their predicament through the purchase of used machinery and the painting of barns. U S. reconnaissance flights surveyed farm fields in Nebraska and South Dakota and report soil conditions to be "considerably damaged by years of overuse and unpredictable weather patterns." It goes on to say only larger farms, with 200 o r more acres of grain or pastureland, will undoubtedly survive in the long run. Since 1970, farmers were thought to be in good stead. But the farm debt has nearly quadrupled from $62 billion (of that year) to the current $215 billion. No wonder you can't buy a box of cereal for less than a dollar. Grain farmers are less worried about making good, more worried about making even. In fine political double-talk. President Reagan confirmed his be^ lief in the American farmer: "Mid- America has become the stage for bold attempts by farmers to unite and solve their own economic problems. They are the best judges of their own woes. "Smal l farmers i n eight states...are being threatened by economic nonexistence. Let it be known that this administration recognizes this fact, and will be watching with anxious eyes as the rise of the American farmer results in the only, and proper, outcome." Nonetheless, Americans have to eat, and boy, will we pay for it. Food prices will be high this summer; restaurants will be hurting for business. If a dangerously cold winter isn't enough to ruin life support systems, we have to suffer from neglect. Wait until Congress gets back from recess and hears about this! RANGEK Softball 11 Thursday, April 19.1984 Women have five _ •car" ™i„fortheseore game winning Annthor J . ers SnH phonn/^l _ n by Patricia Cumbie Sports Editor During the past week the women's softball team played five games and won all of them. The team was ranked 12th in the nation last week, tied with Oklahoma Baptist. The first double-header last Wednesday, April 11, was against UWGreen Bay, which is in its first year as a university team. They do, however, have strong fastpitch leagues there over the summer. The first game was a no-score for Green Bay. Parkside won 6-0. In the first inning the women scored 2 runs. The second score came when Pam Young hit the ball into center field and Jackie Rittmer ran in for the score. Another good inning for the women was the fifth. Karl Porter S,ed « * «y ball to center field; on the next pitch she stole donhiJraUrt Laurenzi bunted and to for Z bUnt 3nd Po rter ran [IV f or the score. The next play Laurenzi stole third, Renee Spear was walked; and Lauren?, sneaky move, scored th™? Eay threat™-dt0 ™re ,n the next inning with a triple.

Michelle Martino pitched very ^Lyvnnnn "J?o natsh Cs tSelpXpthe din innin. 6' and then rr«?g, that contributed to S Was incons»stent pitching. They walked many players and changed pitchers often. The next game Green Bay came d more t'Eht. However, the Parkside women beat them 3-2. "n"0aCh ^inda ^raft commented, Both of those games were well played. It was nice to beat Green Bay because they are District competition. We now feel a lot more confident about playing them." During the weekend the women played in the St. Francis tournament. The competition was arranged in pool play. There were four teams in a pool and they played against each other. First they played Loras University and won 2-1. Then they played Lewis and beat them 5-0. They went into extra innings against Illinois Central. The game went eight innings and Parkside won 3-2. Parkside was champion of their pool. Tennis Still fighting Men's baseball Weather setbacks by Patricia Cumbie Sports Editor The men's baseball team has begun their season despite set backs d ue to weather. Last Friday they played against Carthage and beat them 7-6 before they were rained out. They played 5 V2 innings before the rain started. Duane McLean had a big day against them and had the game winning RBI. Another good performance against Carthage was by Dan Elverman, who pitched a winning game. Tuesday against Lewis the men lost a double header, 4-1 and 4-2. Two good pitching performances came from Tim Sorenson and Sean Patterson. Offensively there were a few problems. "We didn't have real good hitting that game. Even though that wasn't good, we should have won. We had a lot of errors," commented Captain Dave Schwartz. The following Monday, the team played a double header against Chicago Circle. They won the first game 7-4. The game was played at Carthage because the home field was too wet. The big inning for Parkside was the bottom of the anH uJ men were down by one and they came back with four runs to win the game 7-4. Sean Patterson did an outstanding job pitching. He allowed only 5 hits and 4 runs; he struck out five and only walked one. Tom Weipert had the last game-winning RBI. The second game against Chicago ended m a tie. The score was 5-5 and the game went into eight innings when it got too dark to finish the game. Highlights of the second game were two hits by John Hyatt and two by Scott Brzenk. Scott Brooks also had a triple. Beating Chicago Circle was satisfying after being beaten by Lewis Chicago is an NCAA Div. I team. "We were really happy to beat them, because after losing to Lewis we were pretty down. We were hoping to split the games. We know we can play against them," Schwartz said. Their next games against Aurora College and MSOE were cancelled due to rain. Coach Ken Oberbruner commented, "This is nothing new. In all the years I've coached, we've had about six to 16 games cancelled in one season." The weather still hasn't let up and it looks like there will be a few more rain outs before the season is over. by Patricia Cumbie Sports Editor On a sunny, windy day last Tuesday, the men's tennis team played outdoors against UW-Oshkosh and lost 0-9. Some fight came from Brian Langenbach, who competed against Andy Phillip. The ending scores were 6-2 and 6-3. The doubles team Carson-Birch was defeated in the first set 6-1, but came back to try to win the second and lost 64. Oshkosh is nationally ranked; last year they played in the NAIA and NCAA national tournament. They are second in the state only to UW-Madison. Coach Richard Frecka said, "We had some good matches, but Oshkosh has the experience and the quality. It really shows they are nationally ranked." The men had better luck during their last two meets. They didn't win, but they did put some scores on the board. Against Carthage the score was 3-6. Brian Langenbach was able to defeat Steve Rose 64, I'm a 22 year old high school dropout who will earn $40,000 in 1984! ) Based on my earnings so far at S15.50/hr. plus overtime, I'll earn over , $4 0,000 for 1984 as a lithographic stripper/film assembler in the ( G raphic Arts Industry'.

They beat Parker-Goschey from Carthage 6-3, 6-3. Chris Walley chalked up a win against Rick Goschey with 64, 6-7 and 64. "Chris Walley has done very well so far this season. He's played the best tennis. He had a small slump at the beginning but he's won three so far now," Frecka commented. The team will compete against Carthage again a week from now. "We're going to beat them when we play over there, just wait and see," Frecka added. On Thursday against Moraine Valley, they lost 2-7. Moraine is another experienced team. Everyone from last season has returned, and they've added two new players. The winners in this meet were: Walley against Dave Munoz 7-5, 6-0; and Walley and Roszkowski in doubles 64, 2-6, 64. Coach Frecka added, "They are all trying hard and they are coming along fine." For a taste that's out of this world. Heileman's Special Export Pick some up soon. "On Tap at Union Square" streak Sunday's playoffs were rained out. The team was going to play against St. Francis. "We were anxious to play against St. Francis. They are always good competition. In other games we played very well and had good tough competition. All of the games were close," said Draft. The women's record so far this season is 16-8.

Each one of them brought a different sort of life to the part, and I want to find a way to breathe some new life into the part." Julian expresses some concern over the lack of black people involved in the theater department. "There has not been the opportu- - nity to do some things that I would like to have done. I think part of the problem would have been solved if there had been more black actors here. Not necessarily actors, but theater people period." Brown does not see that being one of the only black actors at Parkside has been very limiting to him. "On the one hand, I've been conscious of that the two years I've been here, but on the other side of the coin, what I have dealt with has been a full experience. And I have never been really confronted with the situation where someone has said to me, 'You can't play this part because you're black.' And I don't think that would ever happen, but then again, to a a large degree, people don't say 'You can't cross this line because you're black', because you can't do that. You work with what you have. If you have a department that is 99% white people and 1% black people, you have to deal with something that's going to arouse interest in most of that 99%, so I have, on occasion felt like that was the case. I know that I wouldn't want to be in this situation again. It's not based on the people I've been with, it's just based on the situation." Brown's love of acting stems from his love of performing in general, ever since he was a child. "I was one of those kids who played the broomstick in the basement." This developed into a love of music and involvement in several bands. But he decided that music wasn't the way for him, and came to the realization that acting was the route he should take. "The immediate gratification satisfies me. And I need that. I'm hooked on the applause. I can't do anything else. I like being creative. I work harder at this than I've worked at most things in my life. I love what I'm doing. I'm sort of used to being broke, so it's not like I'm looking to make lots of money, but I'm looking for some gratification. I like being around intelligent people, I like being creative. I don't know, maybe there's a creative bubble in my body." The bike race is open to all Parkside students and faculty. The entry fee of $10 includes a "Loop 500" Tshirt for each team member. Each team must consist of two males and two females. Limited room means that we can only accept the first ten teams that sign up and pay their entry fees. Look for a registration table in the Molinaro concourse this week and next week. Prizes for the winners will be announced.

"If there is a guest speaker in the area, it is possible that a club won't be able to have him or her appear on campus because of the time it takes to have funds reallocated," said Olson. Olson and Galbraith both feel that SOC is ready to become a major organization. "We've been treated as a major organization, and given almost every right of being a major organization, with the exception of the title," said Galbraith. "There's a real grey line between the definition of a standing commit- tee and a major organization. There are little, petty dillerences, but they are important," said Olson. Olson and Galbraith both leel that although SOC has had a past history 01 weak leadership, the or- ganization is now flourishing and members are showing great enthu- siasm and interest in the group. .

Carol McCarver ScholarshIp Chairperson Pocan for Mayor To the Editor: With Electioo Day quietly ap- Proachin« us, it is time lor voten to start makine decisions about the many candidates who are seeking offIces. One important decision that Ke- nosha residents need to make is in the Mayoral election. There are two candidates that emerged from the primary - incwnbent Mayor John Bilotti and Alderman Bill Paean. In 1980, Mayor John Bilotti slat- ed that be wouJd "set spending li- mits, eliminate waste and ineffI- ciency." He also said be would "de- clare war on waste in government." However, wbat be has done is to in- crease government spending by 32%. He also has raised the city's budget surplus Irom $628,728 to $1.2 mlIllon. It seems as though the Mayor, as well as the Kenosba tall- payers. have lost the "war on waste." Bill Pocan, wben elected, will get city spending in control and will keep it in control by runnine the city like a business. Pocan realizes the key in doing this - you can't spend more than you have. He also realizes that the government cannot continue raising property taxes to cover expenses. Most importantly, he realizes that, since Kenosha has a large budget surplus. It should be used instead 01 mcreasine property taxes. Also in 1980 Bilotti vowed to "seek more quality stores down- town, more adequate parking. a carefree environment and a com- mercial complex downtown." How- ever, during his admmistration, Wards and Penney's have both lell Kenosha and no real signs of eco- nomic growth are anywhere to be lound. Pocan understands tfusiness since he is a businessman. As mayor, be will work not only to at- tract new industry to Kenosha, but to keep the industry that is curren- tly in the city. He will be the chief salesman for the city and will work with labor and civic leaders and with local businessmen, to create and maintain a favorable business ctimate for new and expanding businesses. However, probably one 01 the more important goals 01 Pocan is to improve the mayoral working rela- tionship with the state. Bilotti has been spending a great deal 01 time over the past year attemtping to get more state revenues to cover his spending increases. In his luWe at- tempt, he has appeared petulant and has embarrassed many taxpay- ers as well as city and state offi- cials. Pocan will re-establish the work- ine relationship that existed belore Bilott's tenure. He will contact state ollicials once his tenn begios and will begin to erase the bad name Kenosha bas recently receiv- ed. So nut Tuesday, April 3, remem- ber that you bave many decisions to make lor many offices. Also, please remember that your vote will count and that Bill Paean is the "positive alternative for mayor" of Kenosha. Concerned and committed. Jeanne Buenter-Phillips Student votes ARE important Five days from now, on Tuesday, April 3, a number 0110cal races will be decided in the Kenosba/Racine area. Heading the list is Kenosha's race for mayor between the incum- bent John Bilotti and the strong challenger, Bill Paean. The lollow- ing are the most prominent races in our area and the respective candi- dates: Kellosha City PositioDS Mayor John M. Bilotti William Pocan MuDicipal JUdge Katherine Lingle Mark Fennema School Board Mary Jane Landry Genevieve Turk Patrick F. Moran Robert G. Bramsher Racine City Positllo .. Alderman (2nd District) Dorothy H. Constantine Myrtle H. Harrell Alderman (4th District) Fredrick L. Lawrence Thomas E. Dawkins Municipal Judge Guadalupe G. Villarreal Robert Michelson Voting' is patriotic On March 23, 1775, Patrick Henry made his famous "Give me liberty or give me death" speech. In 1776, at the age 01 21, Nathan Hale made an inspired speech end- ing with his last words: "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country" and then was executed by banging. These were two great American patriots of the Revolutionary War, but there are many unsung patriots of this country who have exercised their freedoms by voting in munda- ne elections on the local level such as surveyor, municipal judge or dog catcher, where there is no great bwning issue. Those people who year after year vote are the true American patriots who make this country great. Be grateful that many of our forefathers have defen- ded our liberty by voting or by hav- ing to regret that they had only one life to lose for their country. Won't you also consider becom-· ing true American patriots by vot- ing in the next election April 3 and the Democratic caucus April 7?

The event is being sponsored state- wide by Miller Brewing Co.. who is also providing many prizes for con- test winners and donating all pro- ceeds to Wisconsin Special Olym- pics. The fact that the event is being sponsored by Miller Brewing Co. worried some of the committee members because of the current controversy surrounding the corpo- rate sponsorship issue on campus.

I The PSGA agenda The PSGA leaders who will be elected in the March 7 and 8 elections - President, Vice President and Sena- tors - should all realize certain things they must ac- complish in order for PSGA to become as effective as it should be. The first step is to look at its membership: the 18-seat Senate is consistently below half-full. A good sign, how- ever. is the fact that there are eleven Senatorial candi- dates (nine on the ballot and two write-ins) running for the nine spring semester seats. That increases the num- ber of total Senators to thirteen, but more recruiting is still necessary. When the Senate membership is not full, and when a student can usually get "elected" by volunteering to put his/her name on the ballot and voting for himself/her- self, something must be changed. But PSGA is caught in a Catch-22 situation, because while they want and try to have a full Senate, students shy away from PSGA because they don't see a full and active Senate. The internal organization of PSGA and its relations with its committees (SOC, for instance), don't help PSGA in acquiring a good reputation. Instead of dealing with important and controversial subjects, the Senate tends to get preoccupied with such earth-shattering tasks as reviewing all of SOC's minutes, which usually consumes most of the meeting time. Such petty internal business is the major reason that, as one PSGA vice presidential candidate said, PSGA meetings are turn- offs for the people who must attend them. I( the PSGA Senate refuses to approve the probably- soon-to-be SOC request for major student organization status. the Senate should at least restructure the Senate- SOC relationship that does more harm than good for both sides. Senators might not have such a high drop- out rate once they realize that PSGA can be worthwhile if it has the time and drive to accomplish something. The student body will notice PSGA more if the Senate conducted its business at a time that is more accessible for students to attend. The current 8 p.m. Tuesday meetings (and the prior 8 p.m. Thursday meetings) make PSGA appear, on the surface, as a night-time tri- bunal made up of volunteer "elected" officials who waste their time on inconsequential issues. Once PSGA becomes prominent on campus by being visible and directing its actions to less trivial issues, more students will want to become a part of the organi- zation that. in theory and design, is supposed to be and should be the strong voice of the students. • Correction Ranger incorrectly spelled PSGA presidential candidate Dwight Mosby's last name in last week's edition.

Basiness Mauger A silly fact of life • , It shouldn't really surprise me. Irs been done be- fore, it'll be done again - and it was done at last week's PUAB (Parkside Union Advisory Board) meet- ing. Silly decisions are made by people and committees at some time or another because of the simple fact that people aren't perfect. If they were perfect, why would they be here at Parkside? Silly decisions are made for silly reasons, which come in many variehes, such as not understanding, reading something else into something and voting on the basis of an unstated understanding that your vote doesn't mean anything because the "higher ups" will reject it anyway. The issue before the PUAB (the step before "higher up") was an "Ugly Bartender Contest" fund raiser for Wisconsin Special Olympics. You know, a nice heart- wanning organization. But ... oh no 1 The sponsor of the contest is Miller beer. That's a no-no at Parkside. The vote failed by one vote, 4-2-3. A committee on corporate sponsorship will offer policy recommendations '''probably soon." Until a policy is set, it is understood that those sponsorships --- _ (alcohol related) will be frowned upon by those with the power to decide. Since that reason goes unsaid, other reasons were brought up. Why does the contest have to be held in the Union? Why not the Molinaro Concourse? What if Jerry Lewis and thousands of other well-meaning char- itable people invade Parkside for help? As PUAB was told, almost all of the other groups would follow the proper procedures without PUAB hearing a thing about them. But this specific case warranted PUAB approval because its nature man- dates its being held in the Union, which is what PUAB is all about. The only logical place to bold a bartender contest is by Ken Meyer Editor at a bar - it's not called a concourse-tender contest. That would be like conducting the halftime free throw contest in a racquetball court and the PSGA elections jn the men's bathroom. (After all, how would the women vote?) But one PUAB member voted for the silliest - and deadliest - reason of aU. He broke the first golden rule that all students on committees should be trained to never forget: That students shall vote to express their opinions instead of displacing their consciences and voting the way they think the administration wants the decision to go. lf they forget that. why the hell are they there in the first place?

SOC toys with Christmas spirit Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document SOC toys with Christmas spirit by Jennie Tunldeicz News Editor This Christmas there will be something under the tree for needy Racine and Kenosha children due to the efforts of concerned people at Parkside. SOC (Student Organization Council) has been sponsoring an on-campus drive for toys in conjunction with Kenosha's Mayor John Bilotti and the Racine Toys for Tots program. Parkside's toy drive will end Dec. 9. New or used toys can be placed in barrels that have been set in various locations on campus, such as in „the Ranger office, outside the Level 1 Library entrance, outside the cafeteria and in the SOC office. The barrels are wrapped in Christmas paper and labeled "To the children of Racine and Kenosha." Unfortunately, more garbage has been getting into the barrels than toys, which may be because the barrels are lined with garbage bags to protect the toys. "The barrels are not being used for what they are supposed to be used for. We wanted to get lids for the barrels but that may take some time. People are starting to bring in toys as Christmas get closer," said Valerie Olson, SOC pres ident. A skating party was held at Skatetown to help bring in more toys. People who brought toys to the party could skate free. Only about 15 p eople attended the skating party, but according to Olson a tremendous amount of toys were collected that evening. Mayor Bilotti prompted the development of the toy drive when he contacted SOC and requested Parkside's participation in obtaining toys for children who would otherwise be without this Christmas. SOC the n contacted Racine's Toys for Tots program to see if Parkside could also help in Racine. After the toys are collected on campus they will be brought to the Mayor's office in Kenosha and to the Racine Toys for Tots center where they will be distributed to children in need. Aside from gathering toys, SOC and Parkside's Food Services worked together to raise money for the toy program by offering special meals on Nov. 10, 11, 17 and 18. Food Services donated 25 cents for every special meal sold on those dates. The program raised $50 which will be divided between Racine and Kenosha for toys. Olson said that SOC d ecided to get involved in the program because it would promote unity within the organization, as well as aiding the community. She expressed great thanks to those who have taken part in the toy drive so far and she urges people to bring in more toys before Dec. 9. "Keep in mind the economic problems facing people this year and how it would be if your children would be without toys this Christmas", said Olson. !

Changes considered in admissions/advising policy by J ennie Tunldeicz News Editor Some minor changes have been made by the Academic Policy Committee in the tentative admissions/ advising policy proposal, which may appear on the agenda of the late fall Faculty Senate meeting as an informational report. The proposed special advising program, which is the heart of the admissions proposal, and the possible establishment of an admissions committee are the two recent proposal changes. APC has also presented the Dean of Faculty and the CCGE (Coordinating Council on General Education) with questions and comments concerning additions to the admissions/advising proposal. A special sub-committee of CCGE was established to look at the question of special advising in relation to the admissions/advising proposal. According to Eugene Norwood, APC chairman, the committee is interested in an outline of what an advising program might look like and how it would operate at Parkside. Arthur Dudycha, sub-committee chairman, feels the goals for a special advising program are "to improve the quantity and quality of advising for students." "Most students, I feel, get no advising and are left to their own resources. Advising should be done at an early stage and students should be helped to set their own career goals," said Dudycha. The initial foundation for the advising program has been set, according to Dudycha. The proposal would establish some type of centralized advising center that would include faculty and staff (special training might be required) and students would receive advising until they have declared a major or an area of interest. The special advising proposal is still in the working stages but it should be presented to CCGE before Jan. 15 and could possibly be functioning by f all 1984, according to Dudycha. He added that the subcommittee will soon be directly addressing {the questions raised by APC as well as finalizing some major points on their proposal. APC raised some questions to the Dean of Faculty and CCGE. Admissions cut off and procedures are one of APC's concerns. If the tentative proposals were implemented, a fairly early cut-off date for admissions applications would be necessary if th e policy is to function properly; . APC asked if the campus would be willing to set a cut-off date and enforce it, and also how might the new admissions/advising pro cedure function? If the admissions policy is passed, APC recommends that an admissions committee be established to review certain students that may be placed in the deferred category. APC asked three questions about deferred admissions and committee establishment. Would enough student applications be denied admission to justify a special deferred admission category? Can an admissions committee function on campus and what might be an appropriate timetable? What, if any, might be a more appropriate way to deny admission to those who cannot benefit from college work and still take in account the sj)ecial needs of ce rtain students and how might this work? These questions will be deajt with by the Dean of Faculty and CCGE but no responses have been reported to date. If t he Faculty Senate reacts positively to the tentaive admissions/ advising proposals, it will be revised and submitted to the Faculty Senate for action in the spring.

CHILDREN'S CHILDREN'S C HILDREN'S CHILDREN'S C HILDREN'S JkCWDMV/ AL SUFAC works on preliminary budgets SUFAC (Segregated University Fees Allocations Committee), a standing committee of Parkside's student government, is nearing completion of preliminary budgeting of the 17 various campus areas it annualy funds. The committee, which currently consists of five student government senators (one senate seat is open) and two students elected at large, has approved 14 of its 17 b udgets. The Parkside Student Government Association, Inc. budget has been continuously tabled since its first presentation on Nov. 17 while the Ranger and the Union have not yet been processed. Current SUFAC members are: (Senators) Bill Grindeland, Paul Johnson, Carol Kazarian, Scott Peterson and Steve Schreiner; the two students at large are Pat Hensiak and Ken Meyer. Of the 14 budget areas preliminary completed, only two-Parkside Activities Board (PAB) and Peer Support-have been cut from the organization's original request. November 15 After setting the budget schedule for the next few weeks on Nov. 7, the committee began preliminary deliberations on Nov. 15. The first budget presented, the Union Debt Service, was approved at 190,500 on a Grindeland/Schreiner motion. The Child Care Colter's request for $20,855 was approved on a Grindeland/ Kazarian motion. SUFAC also approved its own operating budget of $660 on a Kazarian/ Grindeland motion. November 17 The Thursday, Nov. 17 SUFAC meeting turned into a three-hour marathon session with five budgets discussed-two of which were reduced and one which was tabled. The Athletics budget request of $58,083 was approved on a Kazarian/ Peterson motion after the first motion for approval failed to receive a second before more discussion. The approved motion contained a stipulation that if any fencing money wait unused, SUFAC would be notified before any of that money was spent. The $44,419 budget request for Intramurals was passed on a Schreiner/Kazarian motion. After a brief recess, Peer Support's $4624 budget request was discussed by the committee. A J ohn-, son/Grindeland motion to approve the budget at $4310 faile d when a motion to call the question failed on a 0-5-2 vote. The Kazarian/Peterson motion to approve $4369 (a $255 cut) later passed. The next budget to be presented- -PSGA's-met with the most discussion and has yet to pass the preliminary budgeting stage. A Johnson- /Peterson motion to approve the $15,810.41 re quest failed on a 4-2 vote because a two-thirds majority vote is necessary. A Kazarian/Grindeland motion for $11,849.17 brought about discussion on the possibility of setting aside a special meeting for onetime only capital expense purchases. The committee tabled the PSGA budget on a Peterson/Johnson motion after a vote to call the question on the $11,849.17 budget figure failed. A Meyer/Grindeland motion to approve the PAB budget request of $51,860 failed on a 1-5-1 vote. After more discussion, a Schreiner/Peterson motion to approve the budget at $49,360 passed on a 5-1-1 vote. A proposed amendment to set Dec. 9 as a meeting time for discussing special capital expenditure requests failed after Meyer called the question on the issue. November 18 A motion the next day to reopen the tabled PSGA budget at $11,- 849.17 passed unanimously. A la ter motion to approve the budget at that figure failed on a 0-4-1 vote. The committee unanimously approved the Housing budget request of $33,725. SUFAC also unanimously approved the budget requests of t he Student Activities Office ($97,548) and the Student Health Center ($67,524). SUFAC again discussed the separation of special capital expenditures requests from overall budgets. The committee agreed that such a separation would not take place. Discussion again resumed on the tabled PSGA budget. Meyer/Hensiak moved to approve the PSGA budget at $11,636.29; the motion failed on a 2-4 vote. Peterson/Johnson moved to approve the original PSGA bu dget request of $15,810.41. After discussion, the motion failed 4-2 with Meyer bang noted a voting opposed. After a brief recess, a Peterson/ Grindeland motion to approve the PSGA budget at $14,441 failed on a 4-1-1 vote with Meyer noted as opposed. The PSGA budget was then unanimously voted tabled. November 22 The Student Activities Building budget request of 4800 was unanimously approved at the Nov. 22 SUFAC meeting. The Business Service/ Accounting budget request of $7700 was also unanimouly approved. A Grindeland/Johnson motion to approve the PSGA budget request of $15,810.41 was objected to by Hensiak after Grindeland called the question. The motion to call the question passed 5-2, but the motion to approve the budget failed on a 4- 3 vote. Discussion followed concerning a suggestion by Assistant Chancellor Cala Stoffle that the PSGA budget request be approved with the stipulation that student government members show interest and knowledge before July 1 about the proposed IBM computer capital expenditure request that drew the majority of the criticism of the overall PSGA budget. The committee agreed to further discuss the issue. November 29 The Student Organization Council (SOC) budget request of $24,7 45 was unanimously approved by SUFAC on Nov. 29. The Homecoming/ Winter Carnival budget request of $6425 was also approved unanimously.

Letter to the Editor PSGA budget items are questionable To the Editor; As budgeting time approaches, we thought you might like to know what good old reliable P.S.G.A is doing for you. To increse their already incredible efficiency, they have budgeted for some items essential for representing the student viewpoint, of which they are completely unaware. These items include a $3500 IBM computer, a refrigerator, a telephone-answering machine and yet another desk. Personally, we would love our own personal computer, and God forbid that our beer should get cold. Among the other budget requests under the heading of salaries is a secretarial position paying $4 an hour. Gee, it must be a real privilege to work for P.S.G.A., since most student workers only receive minimum wage. And finally the infamous P.S.G.A. newsletter-we all missed it this year, but definitely not because it wasn't talked about. Too bad i t was all talk.

The statewide student lobby group, in Oshkosh Saturday for their monthly executive board meeting, voted overwhelmingly to endorse research for a possible lawsuit that would challenge the constitutionality of Wisconsin's new 19 year old drinking age, scheduled to take effect July 1, 1984. United Council Legislative Affairs Director Brian Schimming said that the legal research will be conducted by Madison attorney Peter Peshek of the Dewitt, Sundby, Huggett & Schumacher law firm, which has been retained by the Tavern League of Wisconsin. Schimming said that "It is unfortunate that the legislature and the governor acted under intense political pressure from various lobby groups to deny some citizens their rights. We th ink that this is a dangerous and regressive precedent to set, particularly in a progressive state like Wisconsin." "What we are really looking to determine here is this: Is it really legal to appoint 18 year olds second- class citizens in this state? Is it constitutional for the legislature to say that 18 y ear olds are adults when it comes to getting married, signing contracts, voting, going to war, and other lifetime responsibilities, but not to have a beer?" That is what we are questioning here." Schimming added that a final decision whether to go ahead will be made when the research phase is done in mid-December. Accent on Enrichment series features popular entertainment by Karl Dixon "Do we (college faculty members) need political action?," asked Professor David Jarret during the Social Science Roundtable last Monday, "the answer is of course yes", he replied. According to Jarret, who is the head of the faculty political action committee at U—W Green Bay, political action is not a new event in the University of Wisconsin system. "From the time of LaFollette to the time of McCarthy, the universities have always been political footballs," he said. Now, though, Jarret thinks that the main aim of government is to remove resources from the university system. "Universities have beThe "best" Broadway play of 1982, "Master Harold and the Boys," featuring its Tony-award winning best actor, will headline the 1984 Accent on Enrichment series at Parkside. Other attractions on the popular entertainment series which is in its seventh season include the Joffrey II ballet company, which opens the season Monday, Jan. 30; "Master Harold" on Sunday, Feb. 19; the Soviet Emigre Orchestra, featuring Lazar Gosman, on Monday, March 5; and Weekley and Arganbright, duo pianists, on Saturday, April 7. Sponsors say the series was booked later than usual this year-with all four performances during the second semester-in order to obtain the attractions at a cost that would insure the affordability of the series to the public. "The cost of everything is going up, especially quality performing come a parasite on the body politic," he said. The community dislikes public universities for two main reason, he said. The upper class thinks that graduates of the public institution deprive upper class private school graduates the jobs that they rightly deserve. "Citizens beleive that the universities push people into values that they deplore. They think that we teach that abortion is good, Christianity is bad, patriotism is bad. They never see that we make students justify these opinions-why is this good or bad," he said. These opinions, Jarret feels, has resulted in a decay of the base of the support of the university. The groups," said series coordinator Walt Shirer. "By waiting until the - tour schedules are basically filled in, we can get better prices. Agents will deal and prices for quality attractions are lowered, and the affordability of e ntertainment of this calibre becomes possible," he said. The cost of this year's series is $29.50 plus $2 tax and handling. All performances are at 8 p.m. in Parkside's Communication Arts Theater, which seats 680. Tic kets can be ordered by mail through coupons that will be appearing in newspaper ads (including this issue of Ranger) or by phone or in person at the Union Information Center, 553- 2345. "Master Harold" will feature Zakes Mokae, who won last year's Tony Award for his portrayal of Sam in the work which critics universally acclaimed as the best play of the Broadway season. Its playremedy to this situation is political action of some kind. The two primary methods under consideration are the union and the political action committee (PAC). Jarret favors the political action committee. "It's cheaper and it is closer to the professional mode", he said. The PAC can do a number of things, Jarret feels. It can make the visibility of th e endeavor greater. It can get people, mainly politicians, on the campus. It can give faculty members greater access to politicians and make their opinions on issues more clear. And, it will improve faculty morale. "The quality in the classroom suffers when the morale of the faculty is low, like it is now", Jarret concluded. wright, Athol Fugard, is called "the most urgent and indispensable playwright in theater" by Newsweek's Jack Kroll. Other critics were equally efusive in their praise. "Stunning, a perfect work of art," said Douglas Watt of the New York Daily News. The Wall Street Journal called it "electrifying... incomparable theater experience." Clive Barns of the New York Post acclaimed it "a triumph and unforgettable." Joffrey H, the season opener, consists of the most talented young dancers from the famous Joffrey Company, which has come to define ballet excellence and beauty in this country. The 12-member Joffrey II ensemble is both an intense competitive training round and a showcase for Joffrey stars of tomorrow. The Soviet Emigre Orchestra and its director and concertmaster Lazar Gosman, former music director of the renowned Leningrad Chamber Orchestra, is hailed as one of the world's finest chamber orchestras. The orchestra, which made its debut season in 1979 in the major concert halls of America and abroad, is made up of recently arrived Soviet emigre musicians from the Moscow and Leningrad Philharmonic and Chamber Orchestras, the Bolshoi and Kirov Theaters and other outstanding Soviet musical organizations. The New York Times found Gosman's playing "luxuriant, almost voluptuous and irresistible." "Wonderful lucidity, pure effervescence" was the way the Washington Star described the orchestra. Weekley and Arganbright, a husband- wife team, have repeatedly been called America's finest one piano, four-hand duo. At the international Dvorak Festival, Newsweek magazine wrote, "They played with almost a religious fervor." London Daily Telegraph said they "bring a breath of fresh air to the concert stage." In Vienna, the leading critic called their concert "the ideal example of a master performance."

Nurse was born in Trinidad, an island in the Caribbean close to Grenada. Although he is not a scholar on the subject, he feels he can add a cultural perspective to the Grenada topic because he was raised in that area. He feels he can speculate on what kinds of f eelings are generating in the Caribbean, how the Grenada situation will affect the area and what kind of implications the situation may have in the area. Nurse outlined the history of t he countries in the Caribbean to aid in the understanding of the people who live there, how diverse they are and how these factors affect the current events in Grenada. Most of these islands were discovered during the 17th century by Christopher Columbus in the name of Spain. The islands changed hands rapidly and became colonies of Fr ance, Great Britain, Spain and Holland. Cultures and languages were diverse in these colonies and the people were close to their respective Motherlands. Because of this diversity, Nurse feels it is difficult to catagorize these islands. Independence came for most of these islands in the 1950's and 1960's. "Post independence brought about a new era and a sense of wanting to have a hand in destiny and doing something for the good of a ll of the peoples of the respective islands, "Nurse said. The governments established on the independent islands were similar to those of their Mother countries. Grenada gained it's independence from Great Britain in the early 1970's. The prevalent source of income for most of the Caribbean countries is tourism and agricultural products, such as sugar and yams. The people in the West In dies are very practical, selfish, to an extent, and they are also very country opinionated, according to Nurse. Grenada is a small, mountainous island with beautiful beaches and the people are very friendly and practical. Eric Gehring was the Primier of Grenada before independence and was elected Prime Minister after independence. "Everyone thought from the outside that everything was going well in Grenada. Tourists could go sit on the beaches and medical students came to Grenada without any problem and they were well treated. But what about the 110,000 people, and what did they get? No one is Esrold Nurse dicusses recent developments in Grenada.

The course will meet at Gateway Technical Institute, Racine Campus, on Tuesdays from 6 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. The course is listed in the Spring 1984 course schedule. The instructor is William Rieber. ******************* J American Motorshow * * * * * * with JIM BRADLEY WRJN - 1400 AM 6:05-6:30 A.M. 3:30 - 4:00 P.M.

No one is concerned about that. concerned about that. As long as we can go and sit on the beach, develop corporations on the islands and pay the people only 10 cents an hour; no one says anything," said Nurse. Maurice Bishop, a lawyer educated in England, took over Grenada in a bloodless coup when the Prime Minister was away at a conference. "Bishop got support, probably from Cuba and Russia, and there were strings attached. He was very practical and you have to put yourself in that position. Wherever you can get support and hlep, why not? All the Grenadians wanted was help, and Bishop tried to get it. Grenadians like the Americans, but maybe the U.S. wouldn't help Bishop. Bishop wanted to solve Grenada's probelms)-how do we feed 110,000 people, how do we increase the per capita income and how do we avoid being exploited? There are alot of people starving in Grenada. So, we can see there are practical reasons that led to this," said Nurse. Nurse said that the Caribbean countries have tried to get together on issues in the past, but attempts have always failed. "The only thing we can get together on is a game of cricket, yet when something happens in Grenada, all of a sudden six countries meet and ask the US to get involved. That's just not the way how it happens in the Caribbean. Why wouldn't a country such as Trinidad, which is so close to Grenada, not get involved? This really makes me suspect that the countries did not approach the U.S. but the reverse is probably true," Nurse said. Nurse feels that the invasion was simply a show of force for the U.S. and a tactic to boost support for Reagan. "The situation in Beruit may be partly a catalyst (for the invasion of Grenada) because the people were more prepared for it," he added. He also feels that the medical students from the U.S. in Grenada were not in any danger. "What's going to happen now? What frightens me is what implications this might have on the area. This region may be further divided and any attempts at getting together will be even more difficult. Grenada and the other Caribbean countries will probably be more dependent on the U.S." concluded Nurse. Once Ober Easy Nuclear no-nos ******************* by Dick Oberbruner As J ohn Lennon once described the Beatles being more popular than God, so the threat of nuclear war hangs majestically over the power of Satan. There will be those who claim that if a nuclear tragedy occurs, the devil made them do it ("them" meaning those in the human race with the push-button authority of destruction). Yet, look at the holy wars through the years. Were those prompted by a satanic fear or as a campaign for the glory of G od? Current laws are made as deterrents to war to save people as a whole, not to save just the holy. These days, saving one's flesh transcends saving one's spirit. But what humans lack in international affection, they more than make up for in flesh. There's a camaraderie of skin that even amputees and the wounded can associate with. Day-to-day human life is goverened by day-to-day human life (as a rose is itself to the third power). Human spirit is goverened by fea r. We a re a "God-fearing race," and "we have nothing to fear by fear itself." There are those who are afraid of t he dark, allergic to radiation exposure and other awful things. Since we're still crazy after all these fears, why can't national paranoia be our national past-time? Can the unearthly powers, namely God and Satan, be driving us to the edge of sanity merely by our knowledge of their existence, or is the concept of "being" a joke played by Aristotle? Is the creative process out of co ntrol or is the nuclear era just another stage in technology? The "red" we are taught to associate with the fire of Hell, Thunderbird wine and Commies is as pitiful a comparison as saying we eat the yellow portion of a banana. As in Se nator McCarthy's time, the ongoing Communist scare is based on trustworthiness, not symbolic coloration. President Reagan trusts the Soviets as far as he can toss a hammer and a sickle. In turn, many Americans trust the President as far as they can throw a fit. Labor doesn't trust management, adults don't trust kids...ill feelings trickle down, up and sideways. The weapons build-up is like dirty dishes in a bachelor pad. How I hate to put eight hours in at work only to come home and fight the Russians. President Reagan's military budget closely resembles that of Parkside's athletic department. Certain areas receive more money because of the big man's playing favorites. What we need is a balanced attack, not one well-publicized interest. The world is seeing ignorance at its blissiest. Wake up one morning and pinch yourself. Then imagine being someone from another country-Russia, Japan, Nigeria-and pinch yourself. The same basic pain is experienced by al l people. People also cry, laugh and lovebut not evil, nasty, all-powerful governments.

Print collection on display "British Printmakers," a collection of prints by ten noted artists with British orientations whose works explore a wide range of moods, tones and artistic styles, is on display in the Communication Arts Gallery through Thursday, Dec. 15. Gallery hours are from 1 to 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday; in addition the gallery is open from 7 to 10 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday. The traveling collection was assembled by Edward Bernstein, professor of printmaking and head of the print program at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Bernstein is an American artist who taught for over two years at the University of Oxford in England, where he met numerous printmakers, some of them native Britains, others Americans living abroad. While working and traveling in England, Bernstein began organizing the "British Printmakers" collection, in which he is a featured artist. Bernstein's prints and paintings have won a number of awards in juried exhibitions including purchase awards at the Alabama Works-on-Paper exhibition and the Prints, Drawings and Crafts exhibition in Little Rock, Arkansas. His work has been exhibited nationally and in England and is featured in numerous collections, including those in many U.S. e mbassies as well as in the Ulster Museum of Art in Ireland and the Arkansas Art Center in Little Rock. The other printmakers in the collection are: Norman Ackroyd, a Britishborn artist and master of "aquatint," in which he uses brused acid on copper to depict landscapes of Welsh and Scottish hills. Peter Ford, a Britist artist who describes his work as "a slightly devious and indirect process of printmaking...Nearly all my subject matter is studio-bound invention of random moments of observation recreated." Ford's work has won many awards in Britain, Spain, the U.S. and Korea. Michael Gabriel, a Massachusetts- born freelance graphic artist who often works in the film industry in London, painting backdrops for animations. Gabriel is a "figurative" painter and printmaker whose work depicts commonplace events and people. Chris Jennings, a native of Oxford, who says photography has played a key role in the development of his ideas as a printmaker. His work evolves from his observations of the British landscape. Wind Ensemble to perform m Works by Louis Jean Brunelli and Gordon Jacob will highlight the two concerts by the 40-piece Parkside Wind Ensemble, conducted by music professor Mark Eichner. The first concert will be at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7, in the large study hall at Salem Central High School; the second will be at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 8, in Parkside's Communication Arts Theater. Admission to each concert is $1 for students and $2 for the general public. The concerts will feature Brunelh's "Essay for Cyrano," based on Edmond Rostand's romantic drama, "Cyrano de Bergerac." Brunelli's piece "caputures the spirit of Cyrano in. a delightful work for band," Eichner said. "It is a symphonic poem that i? an. intensely. personal work, yet it communicates its message in terms that are at once baroque, romantic and contemporary." Also to be performed is Jacob's "Salute to American," which, Eichner said, "musically depicts the sacrifices of Americans during times of war, as well as the energy, vitality and cheerfulness of the American people." Jacobs was among the first composers to write serious works for band. Norman Dello Joio's "From Every Horizon (A Tone Poem for New York)" will also be performed. The work creates a series of moods that are an evocation of New York City. Also featured will be Clifton Williams' "Symphonic Dance No. 2,". subtitled "The Maskers,"" an ele- *ty). • gant dance piece; an Italian concert march by Julius Fucik, which features a trumpet solo in a delicate march setting; and selections from historical periods including a transcription of J.S.

In the past, dramatic arts was just booked onto another department. Many different types of people get involved in the dramatic arts program. The last production, "I Am A Camera," had about 35 students who contributed to it, but they were not necessarily all dramatic arts majors or minors. Many students, who are not taking any dramatic arts classes, get involved in productions. Professor Leon Van Dyke, head of the dramatic arts program, feels that more people around the university should realize that the department is for the whole university and not just for its majors. "I think that most schools face the problem that people think they have to be a theater major or they have to be taking a lot of theater classes to even be in a production," said Professor Judy Tucker Snyder, "which is not true." Auditions are open to any students taking one or more drama credits. What to expect at an audition depends on the show. The audition may be with or without prepared material, or it may even be nonverbal, in which an improvisation is asked. "I think that it's a real experience to go through an audition," said Professor Skelly Warren, "even if o ne doesn't want to be in the play. Hopefully they are done in a non-threatening manner so the people feel fairly comfortable." There are many career opportunities for the people who do major in Dramatic Arts. Professor Snyder feels that if people are realistic about what is available to them, there is a good future. "They can't all be famous actors," said Professor Snyder, "but there are numerous other opportunities in theater, such as a theatrical lawyer, stage manager, publicity, costumes, sets, lights and technical jobs." "Most people start out wanting to be an actor," said Skelly, "because that is the most visible person in the theater. It is a long road to becoming an actor and it takes a lot of perseverence, discipline and drive. There are very few people who are overnight successes. Many of the people who are known as overnight successes have been working for many years before they finally make it. A good example of this is Eddie Murphy, who worked for years before he finally was a big success." Another important idea that Professor Van Dyke brought up is that many people think that professional actors or directors don't come from Kenosha or Racine, but actually many have come from there. "One of the best American actors ever was Frederic March, who came from Racine," he said. "And a hot TV property, Daniel J. Travanti, was born in Kenosha. Jack Benny was from Waukegan. "A lot of times they are from small departments where they have been introduced to a lot of t he various facets of the theater," said Van Dyke. " It's very important for the people to realize that what happens here (at Parkside) is as serious as what happens anywhere for those people who really aim to be artists." There are also many teaching opportunities available for those who wish to dedicate their professional lives to this facet of the dramatic arts. Hie faculty at Parkside are professional in their orientation, with years of experience in all aspects of the theater. Van Dyke has a PhD from Wayne State University in Detroit. Prior to coming to Parkside, he was on the directing faculty at Northwestern University. He's been at Parkside for three years. "I came here because this looked like it had a chance to have something built fresh," he said, "and a program that could serve many diverse types of people." Snyder has a masters' of Fine Arts from the University of Portland. She's been teaching for eight years. She was attracted to Parkside's growing program because it seemed to give her an opportunity to expand the courses being taught here. She is a costume designer, but likes to do a lot of other things, such as directing children's theater and teaching classes. Warren has a major in speech with an option in theater from the University of Houston and a graduate degree in design from Northwestern. He came to Parkside because it i f Hold Me A reaglr abber "Hold Me!", a wacky comedy by nationally syndicated cartoonist Jules Feiffer, is the fall dramatic arts studio production at Parkside. Performances are on two consecutive weekends, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 2 and 3, at 8 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 4, at 2 p.m. and Friday and Saturday, Dec. 9 and 10, at 8 p.m. in the Communication Arts Studio Theater. The play, directed by Parkside dramatic arts adjunct professor Russ Tutterow, is set in a modern New Wave-style ba r and discoteque and is composed of about 80 brief comedy sketches that depict young people "trying to relate to each other and revealing themselves as recognizably insecure," Tutterow said. Feiffer, whose far-out cartoons have been syndicated nationally for more than 30 years, focuses on human relationships in contemporary society and on the desire to be honest and open about what many of us seem to secretly want. "Feiffer says, for example, that ^ we want to be.^pss lonely, less,, isolated, and less frightened," Van Dyke said. "He gives us other instances in which we want to be more adult, more sophisticated and more sane." Cast members are Robert Cash, Julian Brown, Rhonda Gerolmo, Ernestine Weisinger, Linda Springer and Steve Orth, Kenosha; and Lori Minetti and John Miskulin, Racine. Marilyn Stasio, writing in Cue Magazine, described Feiffer's work as a "lively, laugh-filled revue," while Walter Kerr, writing for the "New York Times," described the play as "chemically pure, perfectly proportioned, out of its mind and devastatingly funny." Because of limited seating, reservations are suggested and can be made by calling 553-2581 or 553- 2345. Advance tickets, available at the Campus Union Information Center, are $2.50 for senior citizens and UW-P students, faculty and staff and $3.50 for the general public. Tickets at the door are $3 and H Lori Minneti prepares for "Hold Me." is exactly the kind of school at which he got his training. They are all very excited about the program and feel it has many possibilities. They are happy and proud that there is a new Dramatic Arts major; but more important, they want everyone to know that the department is for every student on campus, not just the majors.

Along with the joint realizations that: 1) the four papers I scheduled for the weekend didn't even approach completion; and 2) the last weeks of the semester will require a quadrupling of effort to maintain a respectable GPA, the Monday following the great Turkey day (no, I'm not talking about the communications department), is usually one for sober reflection. However, I prefer drunken reflection. So here it goes. •••••••• Quite a substantial portion of the week was spent watching large amounts of sex a nd violence. That's right. I was watching MTV. What, I found myself asking time and time again, happened to the 'new wave?' What I mean is, once upon a time there was a group in England called Generation X. No more. Generation X mutated to Gen X and finally lead singer/songwriter Billy Idol discovered America. Or rather, the great Yankee dollar. Not that there's anything wrong with money. Hell, I love it as much as the next greedy capitalist scum. But it just seems th at whenever musicians get a whiff of the old green gourmand, they go haywire. Now our Billy seems as interested in his music as Manilow. Neat videos are where it's at. With, of course, the usual smatterings of sex and violence. So what is killing off the 'new wave?' Where are the Jam when we need them most? Frightened off by the visions of the great rock 'n' roB behemoths slowly plodding on their merry way years after they outlived their relevance, Paul Weller called it quits. Psycho Babble The Clash are still with us, but as one astute commentator mentioned, one must be amused by the obvious conflict between their method and their modus operandi. The war-cry of '77 was " To hell with the establishment." But the warriors of Brixton now find themselves part of the establishment. One of the best albums of the late seventies was by an obscure group called Duran Duran. Blondie discovered Funk. Adam Ant lasted even shorter than most. The Damned hang on in blissful obscurity. The Stranglers are cashing in their senior citizen checks. So what is left on the beach after the 'new wave'--a wonderfully American catch-all phrase-has come and gone? •••••••• There is U2. And on the horizon lies the new 'new wave' of The Alarm, Aztec Camera and Big Country. The focus has shifted since the punk revolution. The social relevancies have made room for a more 'natural' conception of the state of human nature. U2, led by lead singer Bono, portrays a 'non-political' vision of human emotions. They describe the struggle for normality in a world of violence, with many of their foci pertaining to their homeland of Northern Ireland. Criticized by the British press for being "too Christian," U2 eventually found their niche with the albums "Pornography," "Boy," and "War." The sound is crisp and precise and the effect is powerful. Limited radio success with New Year's Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday led to a larger audience and recent MTV playlisting is lending to the group's current popularity. But popular or not, U2 has always delivered fresh imaginative music when most other new groups stuck with the synthetic computer sound of 'techno-pap.' •••••••• And in the last year the new groups on the British scene have managed to forge a ' new' direction amidst the ever-easy-listening airwaves of modern Europe. Hailing from Scotland, ex-Skids sidekick Stewart Adamson formed Big Country and was p romptly ignored by the Brit press. Probably for not being political /different/ English enough. With U2's producer, Steve Lillywhite, the band brought out their first album, "The Crossing," after several popular UK singles. The album, though flawed in areas, was excellent and the subsequent American tour is still in progress. Aztec Camera's romantic folk /rock fusion was mainly the product of the pen of Roddy Frame. Frame, who Elvis Costello calledthe best songwriter of 1983, wrote and arranged the Camera's first album, "High Land, Hard Rain." The sound was softer than Big Country's, and at times threatened to digress into 'Holiday Inn Easy Rock', but for Frame's biting lyrics. And finally, The Alarm. Probably the most popular of the trio in the UK, they remain the least known in America, where their mini-album was not exactly an immediate success. However, the scheduled year-end release of their first stateside album should boost the following for these powerful Welsh rockers. •••••••• Well, that felt better. Look out for these groups, 'cause they're going to hit it big over here sooner or later. The "newest wave" of British rock contains all the potency of the last, but will probably turn out to be more accessible. Sophie's Choice?

Stores are filled to the brim with shoppers scrambling to get the best deals on gifts. There is one gift in particular that seems to be extremely popular. It's so popular in fact that people are lining up as early as 5 a.m. or, in some cases, even sleeping overnight in the store's parking lot in order to get one. And when the doors are opened, people almost trample each other in order to get one. - What, you may well ask, is this wondrous gift? Is it the Ronco Home Diamond Making Kit? Is it the Sure Fire Nuclear Freeze Kit? No. It's, are you ready, the, brace yourself, Cabbage Patch Kids! What the hell, you may be asking yourself, are the Cabbage Patch Kids? Well, I'll tell you. The Cabbage Patch Kids are dolls. But not ordinary dolls. The Cabbage Patch Kids come with real adoption papers so that you, or your child, can be the parents of your own cloth and stuffing bundle of joy. Neat, huh? Well worth risking your life over in my book. I can just see a beaming child on Christmas morning. "Oh mommy, a Cabbage Patch Kid! Thanks ever so much!" "You're welcome, dear but it's not from daddy and me. It's from grandma." "But mommy, grandma's dead." "That's right dear. She gave h er life in order to get you your doll. Her last words were, 'I'll trade you" a blond girl for a red haired boy.'" "Wow." "That's not all. She took a few people out with her. They tried to cut in line. Next thing they knew, they had a cane right between the eyes." Sort of warms your heart, doesn't it? There was a story in the Journal Times Monday about a grandmother of 14 who has two of the original prototype Cabbage Patch Kids. She has named them Amber Gay and Ronald Gregory. She an d her husband take them everywhere. In fact, yesterday was Amber's birthday, and they took the 'kids' out to dinner at Mr. Steak. You see, Amber is a member of Mr. Steak's birthday club.

Tune in next week. Ranger needs writers Movies <4 Nate and Hayes": laughable by Patricia Cumbie "Nate and Hayes" is supposed to be a pirate story/thriller. One of the problems with the movie — bes ides the plot — is tha t I couldn't decide whether it was a spoof, or a serious attempt at an adventure story. Pinning down a time period is difficult, due to pirate brigs and torpedo gun boats. I felt like I was suffering decades of jet lag. The movie starts out with a "Raiders of th e Lost Ark" motif. It progresses rapidly to bad and worse. The plot centers around Hayes (Tommy Lee Jones), the pirate. Nathan (Michael O'Keefe), an English wimp, and Sophie, his frail and gorgeous fiancee, are going to a primitive island to preach the word of God to ignorant natives. Nate and Sophie ride aboard Hayes' ship to get to this island. Along the way Sophie falls in love with Hayes. able. Nate and Hayes are drinking together on board the ship of Hayes' rival. (Sophie is, by the way, kidnapped by this same rival pirate.) The plot thickens... The movie is a constant barrage of chiches. It's a hodge-podge of every action film ever made. There are scantily clad natives, dumb Germans from "Hogan's Hero's", pirates possessed with vengeance, Victorian missionaries and black slaves. One scene was particularly laugh- By th is time Nate knows Sophie loves Hayes. Nate tells Hayes he can have her when they rescue her. Hayes tells Nate he can have Sophie since he had her first. After a l engthy "You have her," "No you take her" conversation, the both of them reach an amiable compromise. Let Sophie choose for herself who she wants. rescue the damsel in distress not once but twice. The second time she was to be sacrificed to the Gods by a native king. Ye gad. The musical score is overdone and overbearing. Even in moments without action there is dramatic music. This adds to the comical effect the movie already has. Comedy is great, but not when a movie is intended to be serious. I was unintentionally entertained by a flimsy plot and unoriginal lines. Sophie's Choice, get it? Ha ha. Nate and Hayes are always risking their lives to save the day. They Although I had a few laughs it wasn't a cheap thrill for $3.75. "Nate and Hayes" must have been written by a group of incompetent soap opera writers. One star.

'10 Thursday, December 1,1983 RANGER Women's basketball Road games fall flat by Mark Fe ldman Women's basketball coach Noreen Goggin was not used to the situation she found herself in at the beginning of the year. She had only coached one senior in her first four years at Parkside, until this year when she will be working with six. "It makes a difference to have that experience in the lineup," Goggin said. "Those six have been playing since they were freshmen, and they know what they can do." Goggin has hopes of improving on last year's 12-15 record, but lack of height may prove a problem. "It hurts not to have height, but we hope to use our quickness against taller teams." Experience and quickness did not help the Rangers at the University of Nebraska-Omaha tournament in Omaha November 25-27 as Parkside lost both of their games. Parkside lost to St. Cloud State last Friday 65-37 and was whipped by Morningside College last Saturday 100-52, to finish the tournament and start the season 0-2. "We had no offense on Friday," Goggin said. "We out-rebounded them, and our defense was all right. We just could not get things going." Leading scorer for the Rangers was senior guard Cindy Ruffert with 8 points. Saturday's game was a different story all together. "We had problems on both defense and offense," Goggin said. "We played crummy defense, only shot 32 percent from the floor, and looked like we didn't know what we were doing." Senior guard Debbie Ambruso had 11 points for Parkside, while sophomore center Midge Schinderle added 10. "We have a lot of things to work on," Goggin said. "We have to work hard in practice, because the next game is a brand new one." The Rangers played Carroll College Nov. 30 at Carroll before traveling to the UW-Platteville tournament Dec. 2-3. Parkside plays it's first home game on Dec. 6 against strong NCAA Division n team Lewis University. Sports Shots, cont.: Jim Brown too old for NFL Continued from Page 10 Franco Harris has been playing for eleven years. Harris is within 500 yards of the record, and is rinsing However, Brown didn't mention Walter Payton at all, and he has a better shot at the record. Payton has been in the league for eight years, and is within 800 yards of th e record. If anyone is certain to get the record, it is Payton. YOB may be saying to yourself, 'Gee, didn't George Blanda play football until his late forties?' Yes he did; but you must remember that the only part of his body that got any work in the last six years of his career was his right leg. He did play quarterback until his early forties, but since then, he only did placekicking. He didn't get banged around too much. But Brown is a running back, so he will get knocked around on every play. Every lineman and linebacker will be keying on him. I also think there might be a few defensive players who might be out to get him, just so they can say that they were the person or persons who prevented Jim Brown from recovering his record. Jim Brown, if you come back to the NFL as it is today, you risk permanent injury. It isn't the same league that you were in 20 years ago. The players are bigger, stronger, faster, and more talented than in your day. I can't see any reason to want to play again. You were the best of your day, but it's time to let this new generation of players get the recognition. You won't be forgotten. Don't leave yourself open for more criticism and jokes. It's not worth the gamble. At 47, sit, relax, take a swim. But don't play in the NFL. Ranger photo by Karen Trandel Science same Faculty win by Mary Kirton Kaddatz Students of the science faculty vs. science students game were overwhelmed in the first quarter of the game Saturday, Dec. 3 in the Phy Ed building. Over 500 onlookers who purchased tickets cheered as the students built up their momentum by the third qua rter. Student Mike Grady gave professors Branchini and Clough a hard time, and a tough fight until the aid of the fourth quarter. Sharon Rynder and Sue Hilmer boldly assisted Grady in his attempt to defeat the faculty. At the end of the fourth quarter, they tied the score with the faculty 38-38. Branchini and Clough pulled the faculty to a winning one point victory in the last two minutes of overtime 41-40. Leading scorers for the students were Mike Grady, 18 pts., and Jeff Hugdahl with 10 points. Scoring high for the faculty were Bruce Brachini 15, and Fred Clough had 11 points. Chancellor Alan Yuskin and Lori Pope refereed the game. The Chemistry Club's event was successful in raising $500 for Science student scholarships. The Alumni have also pledged to match the $500 amount. Faculty, students and basketball teams wish to thank everyone for their support in coming out to view a terrific game.

What about a turtleneck?". "I wore one this morning and I was hot." "What's the course like?" "Muddy." "Stay to the left." "You need spikes." Pre-race tension was mounting in the Parkside women's locker room as the cross-country team prepared for the final meet of the season: NAIA Nationals held Nov. 19. For three of the members, this meet was a first-their first competition in a national-caliber event. For one member, it was the last meet of her collegiate career and for her this was "not just another meet" as coach DeWitt was fond of saying. The last meet signifies one last »chance to reach individual goals as well as the final team goal set in the beginning of the season. Sports Shots The weather was not the best for realizing goals, team or otherwise. The only consolation was that the competition had to compensate for the muddy slopes throughout the course. Coach DeWitt had made an educated guess that the team would finish tenth out of 28 teams, if everyone ran the way they had throughout the season. A great deal of emotion went into twenty minutes of effort. Parkside's team finished 16th with 389 points. Dona Driscoll was the first runner in for Parkside, placing 40th in 19:06. After the race she said, "I'm not disappointed. I ran the best that I could." Other runners for Parkside were Jane Roszkowski (88th in 19:43); Sarah Hiett (111th in 20:20); Karen Jacobsen (124th in 20:17); Anne Ruppert (126th in 20:17); Connie Wallace (211th in 22:53); and Carol Romano (212th in 22:56). Simon Fraser University of Vancouver, British Columbia, won the meet with 58 points. Cindy Grant from Simon Fraser was the individual winner. Her time of 17:32 set a new NAIA re cord. The old record was 17:41, set last year by Marquette's Katie Webb, who finished fourth this year in 17:54. The Parkside fencing team took their top fencers to the nationallyacclaimed Pennsylvania State Open on Nov. 19-2 0. They made a good showing even though the competition was tough. Parkside's Bill Thomas fencing epee at the Open finished 3rd out of Ranger needs sportswriters Brown's prospects black 63 fencers, representing 20 universities and colleges from the Midwest and East coast. Coach Loran Hein said, "Bill did an excellent job. This was the first major tournament of the year and he did so well. I'm very proud of his performance." Winning the epee was Scott Trevor from Columbia University, who is the current national champion in the under-20 age division of foil and epee competition. Trevor was a member of the World University Games and a finalist in ine Junior World F inals. Bill Thomas fenced Trevor to a |8*7 result before losing. Thomas', (performance is only expected to (improve. J Also fencing epee was Mark Giese, who made the third round and finished overall 38th. "Mark Giese's performance was very good," said Hein. "He placed this well and he's only been fencing for eleven months." In the sabre competition, the team captain Sam Waller made the third round. He was in the top third in the men's sabre competition. by Robb Luehr How many people do you know that make an occupational comeback at an advanced age? Sure, many older citizens go back to work, but that's just to be sales clerks and check-out people. How many people do you know that go back to serious physical activity after being retired? Well, that's just what a fellow by t he name of Jim Brown is planning to do. He has been talking to A1 Davis of the L.A. Raiders about a comeback. He says he will return to football if either Franco Harris of the Steelers or Walter Payton of the Bears breaks Brown's record for most yards in a career (12, 312 yards in nine seasons). There is, however, one factor against Brown. He is 47 years old. What could possibly make a 47 year old man want to return to a sport like football, where it's easy enough for a man in his prime to be injured? Fear, ignorance, and possibly greed. Fear in the respect that he may lose some recognition when he no longer has the record. He's afraid that the attention will be on the person who breaks the record, and Brown will be known as 'the former record holder.'

AND GET IN FREE 1 -12 Thursday, December 1,1983 RANGER by Mark Feldmann While P arkside men's basketball coach Rees Johnson drilled his team three hours a day, seven days a week, players probably wondered if playing regular games would be easier. But thoughts of early vacations -were dismissed as the Rangers went 3-1 in their first four games, including their first home win. Parkside's only loss so far came last Monday as NCAA Division I; Western Illinois handed the Rangers a 74-62 decision. Senior forward Brian Diggins led all scorers with 23 points and grabbed 8 rebounds, while junior Erik Womeldorf added 13. With all the points, though, the Rangers only shot 34 perc ent from the floor. "You won't win too many games shooting like that," said Coach Johnson. "To beat this team we can't play just average, we have to have a great game." Parkside punched the clock for the 1983-84 season with an 86-73 win over UW—Oshkosh at the Kolfs Sport Center in Oshkosh. Diggins had a game-high 28 points and Womeldorf ad ded 15 points and 15 rebounds. Sophomore Mark Place came off the bench to score 11 with 8 rebounds. "Diggins had another unusual great game for him," Johnson said. "He must have missed some shots at the end out of p ure exhaustion." While the win went to the Rangers, Johnson thinks it could have been better. "We should have Cross Country nanger photo by Robb Luehr beat them by 30. We had them down by 18 in the first half, and we should have buried them." Freshman point Clay Brooks h ad a perfect 4-for-4 shooting night his first college game. "Clay was great off tKe ben ch,", Johnson said. "He shows so much1 poise for a freshman. I am very impressed with him." The Ranger winning streak went to two last Friday as Dave Sargeant's jumper with four seconds left lifted Parkside to a 62-60 overtime win over Chicago St. Xavier. Brian Diggins again led the Rangers with 19 points and 6 rebounds. Sophomore Jay Rundles chipped in 14 points. About 600 fans watched the Rangers roll to their third straight win as they beat UW—LaCrosse in their first home game last Saturday, 72-70. Parkside, down 43-32 at the half rallied furiously to gain the winning edge. Womeldorf led th e game with 19 points, while Diggins threw in 18 and Jay Rundles 13. Johnson was not pleased of what he saw in the first half. "At half time we talked about getting more physical and agressive. We came out and did that. The harder play really sparked us," he said. "I didn't think the crowd was to much into it," said Johnson, noticing his team was cheering louder than the crowd sometimes. "I'd like to think our crowd is a sixth man. I think it will come later in the season." Parkside 10th in Nationals by Patricia Cumbie Sports Editor The NAIA Natio nal Cross Country meet held here Nov. 19 yielded a 10th place and an All-American runner. Parkside as a team placed 10th with 358 points against 37 teams. Coach Lucian Rosa commented, "It was a surprise we came in the top 10; it makes me very happy. I didn't think we'd make it-our goal was the top 15. We had a few problems, but overall we ran very well." Runners placed as follows: 7- George Kapheim 25:12; 43-Tim Renzelmann 25:53 ; 61-Rich Miller 26:08; 156-Ted Miller 27:01; 177- Mark Hunt 27:14; 198-Mark Manning 27:31. George Kapheim, who placed seventh, made Ail-American. Coach Rosa commented, "He ran really well. I knew he was capable to -"*• make All-American." Kapheim provided the details. He had been hurt for the majority of t he season. "To come back, I did some easy running and did intervals in the swimming pool." About the race, be. said, "Physically, it's the middle miles that are the hardest to gauge. Mentally, I put forth a real ^ effort. It was more of a mental effort than physical. There was pain, but that's expected." How does it feel to be an Ail-American? "Great." Due to the rainy weather, Tim Renzelmann had an unfortunate accident. He slipped in the mud at the quarter mile. "I wasn't personally satisfied with this race, but I am happy with the season in general. Slipping in the mud at that point made me lost about ten to fifteen seconds." Tim was also a junior college Ail-American at UW-Sheboygan. About the rest of the. team, Coach Rosa commented: "Rich ran a very good r ace. On a dry day, he might have run better. He is only a sophomore, and he has done well this season. He still has time to really mature as a runner." He added, "Andy didn't finish the race. He sprained his ankle the Tuesday before the race, and he had to drop out. "Next year's season will be even better. "All of the team will be coming back except for Mark Manning and Rod Condon, who will gradute. I'm already excited about the season next year," Rosa added.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document W University of Wisconsin - Parkside Panel discussion soc New guidelines clarify issues by Bob Kiesling News Editor New guidelines for SOC were passed by the PSGA Senate at their Oct. 22 meeting. The new guidelines are considered a significant improvement over the old rules because they include a revised budgeting procedure for organizations on campus, job descriptions for the chair and vice - chair, and removal from office procedures. The main problem with the old guidelines was that there was inadequate documentation; new rules were being added as needed and not being kept track of. It was felt that SOC required more specific guidelines in view of the fact that they did not seem to be accomplishing their objectives. "The main reason was that the guidelines were ambiguous," said PSGA vice - president Chuck Betz. Betz also cited a lack of job descriptions for the chairman and vice - chairman of SOC. It is a Student Life policy that all paid student organization positions have duties described in the organization's constitution. The Budget and Review Committee also got a revised set of procedures. The Committee, which allocates SOC funds to individual clubs, now has a specific set of rules and membership criteria. The BRC rules were revised because it "just wasn't working," according to Betz. The new guidelines state: "The Student Organization Council is a standing committee of PSGA, Inc. The purpose of the standing Budgets were due committee is to promote communication and support for all clubs on campus. Through discussions on fund - raising, program co - sponsorship^ organizational workshops and inter - group communication, the Student Organizations Council helps to create an opportunity to enhance the learning experience for the students at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside." The guidelines require SOC to meet at least four times during the semester and at least once a month during the summer. It gives guidelines for membership in SOC, and calls for the president erf each club, or a designated representative, to attend all meetings, and that each club representative has three "ex­cused" absences allowed them On Wednesday, November 10, from 12-2 p.m., the Sexual Harassment Advisory Committee will sponsor a panel discussion in the Union Bazaar to explore some of the aspects of sexual harassment. Joanne Zywicki, an alumna of Parkside, from Racine, will talk about sexual harassment from an employees' view, and about the identification of sexual harassment. "I will address the what, who, when, how and why," said Zywicki. "What it is, who does it, when it's done, how it's done, and why it's done. There is very little understanding about why it is done," commented Zywicki. Wayne Johnson, a professor here at Parkside will speak about the socialization of men — why men do the things they do, and how they have grown into their habits. The committee also expects to have a lawyer present to discuss the legal ramifications of sexual harassment. After the speakers have given their presentations, the audience will be given the opportunity to ask questions relating to sexual harassment. The committee urges everyone to attend and learn about this "difficult to talk about" subject. Both before and after the panel discussion, any interested persons can view the movie WORKPLACE HUSTLE. The movie will be shown before the discussion at 11 and 11:30 a.m., and again after the discussion, at 2 and 2:30 p.m. each semester. An absence is considered ex­cused when the chairman of SOC has been notified at least 48 hours prior to the meeting, in writing. Each unexcused absence by a club results in a five percent decrease in that club's budget. Also, the guidelines state that a quorum consists of a simple majority of members, rather than two thirds of the SOC body being present. The removal from office procedures state that impeachment of either chair or vice chair requires a two thirds vote by the SOC membership before the PSGA Senate can initiate im­peachment proceedings. The trial is held one week from the date the motion is passed. Since SOC is a standing committee of PSGA, the guidelines state that: "The Student Organizations Council shall create rules and guidelines for its governance in accordance with the PSGA, Inc. Constitution and PSGA, Inc. Senate Rules. The PSGA, Inc. Senate shall have final approval of any guidelines and rules proposed by the Student Organizations Council." by Bob Kiesling News Editor With the budgets due last Tuesday, Nov. 2, both PSGA and SOC held several emergency meetings to complete their proposals in time. PAB, on the other hand, was granted a favorable ruling by the judicial branch to change their budgeting format to include the Performing Arts and Lectures committee budget in their own. Even so, PAB had two separate budget proposals ready in the event that PAL was to be budgeted separately. The Justices ruled that it was not within the PSGA Senate's authority to determine PAB's budgeting procedures. The PSGA Senate came into conflict with the Executive branch over their budget proposal. The initial proposal, drafted by president Jim Kreuser, called for a 30 percent increase in both the president's and vice president's salaries, and a 518 percent in­crease in the PSGA secretary's salary. In addition, $275 has been requested to fund the Dialogue, the PSGA newsletter. Both the initial and alternate budgets in­clude $5,000 to fund the new Public Employee Day set Monday, Nov. 8, has been proclaimed Public Employee Day in Wisconsin, thanks to efforts by the Wisconsin State Employees Union. The union, part of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AF-SCME), approached Gov. Lee Sherman Dreyfus with the idea and he initiated the proclamation designating the day to recognize the efforts of public employees in Wisconsin. The AFSCME Council 24 Local 2180 at UW - Parkside met with Chancellor Alan E. Guskin who then issued a similar proclamation designating Nov. 8 as Public Employee Day at UW-P. The proclamation reads: WHEREAS, at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside, public employees with a wide variety of Continued On Page Three Student Legal Service. The alternative budget, passed unanimously in an emergency meeting Monday morning and approved by Kreuser that af­ternoon, limits both the president's and vice president's salaries to a 20 percent increase. The PSGA secretary will receive a 50 percent salary increase. The PSGA approved 1983-84 budget for PSGA is triple this year's budget, an increase from $6,863 to $19,492 for next year's request. The largest single item on the 1982-83 request is funding for the student Legal Service, for which the Senate is asking $5,000 in new allocations. PSGA's rationale for the legal service budget reads: "Since the service is currently going through the bidding process, it would be very difficult to Continued On Page Four Pulitzer winner to speak here Douglas Hofstadter, whose book "Godel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" won a Pulitzer prize in 1980, will be the first Honors Program Distinguished Visiting Scholar at Parkside. Students involved in the honors program are participating this semester in a series titled "Ex­plaining Things" which has featured a series of guest lec­turers. The Honors Program is directed by Prof. Lee Thayer, who is coordinating arrangements for Hofstadter's visit. Hofstadter, 36, a professor of computer science at Indiana University - Bloomington, will be on the UW-Parkside campus Nov. 15 - 17 for a series of programs both for students and the general public. Hofstadter's "formal" fields are mathematics, artificial in­telligence and computer sciences, but his interests are much broader, including linguistics, psychology, art, music, philosophy, biology, physics and the human sciences in general. His most recent book is "The Mind's I,' which brings together a number of writings on mind and brain, self and soul, identity and Business students Advising offered by Pat Hensiak Editor Peer Support, in conjunction with the Business Clubs, including PSE, Women in Business, and Accounting Club will again sponsor Student to Student Ad­vising during the regular advising period. This is the third year that this type of advising is being of­fered. Close to 1000 students have declared Business as their area of interest. Ilene Levin is the Coordinator of Business and Administrative Science here at Parkside and she advises all the Business Area of Interest Students. In the time set aside before registration, it is an ex­tensive task to give all of those students the time they may require for advising about their schedule. For that reason, student to student advising has been made available for the Business students. Before a business student declares a major, they must first complete the pre - business core courses and by the time students are juniors they should have completed all the general requirements, the Breadth of Knowledge, Collegiate Skills, and then they can declare the major and a specialty. After declaring the major they are assigned a different faculty advisor than Levin. Student to Student advising allows Juniors and Seniors to help Freshmen and Sophomores make some decisions about their scheduling. Levin commented, "What we're hoping for, with this student to student advising is that freshmen and sophomores can talk with juniors and seniors and realize some of the particular problems that I may not be able to respond to. Juniors and Seniors have recently been through the program, and they'll be a great help." Levin also pointed out that sometimes the people who need the most help are the ones who don't seek it. If the students doing the advising know someone is having trouble, they can direct that student to Levin. "I hope the student to student advising is a success," concluded Levin. "I've often felt that the grapevine is the most helpful way of finding things out." DOUGLAS HOFSTADTER consciousness, free will and determinism, along with a commentary by Hofstadter and philosopher Daniel Dennett. Hofstadter also writes a monthly column called "Metamagical Themas" for Scientific American. Hofstadter's major public address will be an Honors Program Lecture on "Imagining Mind" at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 17 in Molinaro Hall, Room 105. All of Hofstadter's campuses appearances are open to the public. Reservations are required only for a reception, dinner and informal discussion sponsored by the Parkside Philosophical Society at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 16, and can be made by contacting Prof. Aaron Snyder (Phone 553-2319). The remainder of Hofstadter's schedule is: Monday, Nov. 15: A talk on communication theory and research at 10 a.m. (location to be announced); a Social Science Roundtable session on "Sexism and Language" at 11:45 a.m. in Union Room 104; and a Mathematics / Computer Science reception at 3 p.m. in Molinaro Hall, Room 111 and colloquium at 3:30 p.m. in Molinaro 107. Tuesday, Nov. 16: A session with the Parkside Computer Club at 8:30 a.m. in Molinaro Room 113; an Honors Seminar on "Imagination" at 11 a.m. in Communication Arts Building Room 128; an informal Art Faculty / Student Roundtable at 1:30 p.m. in Communication Arts 233; and an Honors Seminar on "Explaining Things" at 3:30 p.m. in Communication Arts 132. Wednesday, Nov. 17: A break­fast session with music faculty and students from 7:45 to 9:45 a.m. in the Union cafeteria; a Psychology Colloquium at 9 a.m. (location to be announced); and a Women's Studies Seminar on "Sexism and Language" at 3 p.m. in Molinaro Room 111. A bit of nostalgia A limited number of tickets still remain for Tintypes, the hit musical which will appear at Parkside Sunday, Nov. 7, as the second event in the 1982-83 Accent on Enrichment Series. Ticket information about the musical review which celebrates America at the turn of the century is available at the Union In­formation Center (553-2345) from 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, until 4:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. All seats are reserved. Tintypes audiences relive the gentle days of a bygone era through nearly 50 songs and dances. The Broadway hit features the music of such favorite American composers as George M. Cohen, Scott Joplin and John Philip Sousa. Conceived by Mary Kyte, Mel Marvin and Gary Pearle, Tin­types has been described as a scrapbook of nostalgia which recreates images of historical figures such as Teddy Roosevelt and Emma Goldman, as well as mythical characters. Their stories, coupled with the music of the period, evoke a period of time that is often referred to as the last gasp of America's innocence — the years that bridge the 19th and 20th centuries. Nominated for two Tony Awards including best musical, Tintypes has been a major success in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. The company which will appear at Parkside is currently on a 30 - week national tour and has just concluded a two -week engagement in Kansas City. Thursday, November 4,1982 RANGER Editorial Orphan Drug Bill must pass Elections are over. The congressmen are in. Lately it seems that everyone has felt the economic squeeze at some level. Everyone is ready to get back on their feet. Raising the standard of living is something we all strive for in some way. In a time when we are spending billions on a defense system, for the good of this country, perhaps it is time we spend a solid amount of money for the good of the people within this country. On November 29, the Orphan Drug Bill will be coming before Congress. The purpose of the bill is to supplement drug companies in the research and develop­ment of drugs for unpopular, unprofitable sickness and disease. It's easy to see someone stricken with a disease like Tourette Syndrome and feel sorry for them. These people search for a touch of what many of us consider normal everyday living. The drug needed to bring Tourette Syndrome to a sense of control is an orphan drug. Without this bill, these people may never find that control. It's easy to stand and feel sorry for someone. Instead of doing that, take ten or fifteen minutes and write a letter to your congressman urging the acceptance of this Orphan Drug Bill. You will probably feel better after you've done it, and maybe some of the emotional and physical pain that the people in need of these medications feel, would be eliminated. MMMMM Letters to the editor To Life To the Editor: I have been in the position for some time now to watch a family handle the real life situation of their father whom has the muscle disorder ALS, commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. The muscle deterioration of this afflicted person is to the point now where swallowing and breathing are becoming increasingly dif­ficult, even life - threatening. The family is, for all practical pur­poses, this man's life support system! One possible course of action for this family could have been to shy away from the situation, acting as if it did not exist, declining to accept the responsibility which accompanies an unexpected event such as this. In doing that, however, the family members would have been proving that they cared more about how this situation would affecf them, possibly 'cramping their lifestyle,' than about the person who was literally afflicted. This would seem to be the easiest way to handle the situation, and it is the way that most people do choose to handle it. That is sad, for in sending flowers and cards we forget the most important ingredient — ourselves. In not wishing to face the bare edge of life and death, people choose to pass up what could prove to be the most extraordinary growing experience of a lifetime. It is a perception enricher and value changer. It breathes new insight and vitality into weary eyes and minds. Still, most will choose to pass on the opportunity, as any hospice or nursing home volunteer or worker could tell you. But for those fortunate few, however, who choose to meet the challenge of these sometimes disspiriting situations, and who do not want anything more than to give, the rewards are a fresh and powerful appreciation of life! Much of the determination as to how we react in situations similar to the one that I described depends on how we prioritize. That is, what in life we rate most important, and what we are afraid to place importance on. A1 Einstein once said that he never did belong to anything with his whole heart. What I believe he meant was that once you surrender your heart to any one thing, you lose sight and perspective about the total picture of life. Our actions are a direct consequence of our attitudes, that is, we act out our thoughts. How we see the world is reflected in how we act towards the world and in it. Herein lies the importance and ramifications of prioritizing. Once we examine the world, especially living things, and see beyond the initial 'noise' en­countered, we no longer are overwhelmed by the complexity of the intricate games we whole­heartedly participate in. We begin to perceive, beyond the superficial images we have of different cultures, environments, and the like, and see that all peoples are all basically alike. Our perceptive capabilities become more sen­sitive. We begin to cast aside the nonsense that we make too real and take too seriously, things such as hero - worship, putting up of 'fronts,' and all other kinds of selfish needs and deeds. With this new type of self - examination it becomes clear that how we use, define, and view ourselves is the exact model by which we deal with the world around us. One must always use this self -examination if one wishes to see the world through honest, open eyes rather than having a clouded vision. But only if you wish. If you disagree with this, then you basically believe that people do things, all things, because they do not want to do them. Bringing this all back to the family and the man with ALS, we can see them living and growing with this real situation, to pinnacles of appreciation and reverence for life that too few ever attain. A person gains new perspective on what does and does not belong to you, on what, as human beings, we have rights or no rights to meddle with, on love, Continued On Page Six Poor, Poor John To the Editors: Sirs: It is with great interest that I have read the current debate in your letter column concerning the works of your Mr. John Kovalic, but is only now that I have decided to become an active participant. I refer to last week's "New Music" article. I must take ex­ception to one statement therein. And I quote: "But when (Wendy 0. Williams is) built like a paraplegic elephant ..." I am a paraplegic elephant. I can find no so - called "Humor" in his remark and consider it an insult not only to paraplegic elephants in general, but to the animal kingdom as a whole. Does Mr. Kovalic think it is funny being a paraplegic elephant? I have been one for twenty - six years now and, frankly, I find his "humor" to be in very bad taste as well as being callous, cruel, and very, very nasty. To poke humor at unfortunates such as us only in order to get a cheap laugh is unbelievable enough, but it is particularly ill -timed when so many people and species are making strides to create equal opportunities for disabled pachyderms.

SENATOR PROXMIRE HAS GIVEN ME A JOB ON HIS OFFICE STAFF." Editor's notes November brings more than chill by Pat Hensiak Editor The month of October was a lot of fun. Halloween this past weekend was an interesting one. During the trick or treat time, the children were sparse, but still cleverly dressed. Very easy to enjoy. Halloween also marks the end of October, which means most of us who haven't yet experienced mid - terms will soon do so. Mid -terms can be a traumatic ex­perience, but at the same rate they can lend a sense of relief. We've made it halfway through the semester. Before we know it we'll be looking for Christmas gifts in crowds of many. November brings with it more than a chill in the air. Activities on campus are moving right along. On November 10, the Sexual Harassment Advisory Committee will sponsor a panel discussion offering insight into aspects of sexual harassment. Many people have misconceptions about sexual harassment, its forms, its causes and its cures. It wouldn't hurt to attend the discussion and ask some questions. You may learn something that will help you throughout the rest of your life. The discussion will be held in the Union Bazaar area from 12-2 p.m. There's also another Accent on Enrichment performance this weekend. Sunday, November 7 marks the appearance of the Broadway Musical "Tintypes." If you think you would like to attend, find a friend to go along and do it. It will probably be a lot of fun for both you and your friend. The editorial this week speaks out on the passing of the Orphan Drug Bill. The vote will be made on November 29. To some the bill would serve no purpose, but for many it will serve the purpose of control. Some people have no idea what it's like to live the way "normal" people do. It doesn't seem fair that because the medication they need to gain control won't make a profit, the drug is very rarely explored. Take fifteen minutes of your time to help make someone elses life a little more bearable. Maybe the result won't affect you directly today, but that's not saying it never will. Coming up this month for all of the Business Area of Interest students, is Student to Student Advising. The advising program was set up the way it is, to make registration easier and less time consuming for the freshman and junior Business Majors. Take advantage of the opportunity to save time and trouble, find out when and where student advising will be available if you are a business major. It will be easier in the long run. It's nice to report that people have been submitting a lot of excellent creative writing pieces. We haven't had a lot of room these past few weeks, but don't give up hope. We haven't stopped printing yet. Keep them coming in. Hopefully the necessary space will turn up very soon. Above aU, don't lose heart in your semester activities and classes yet.

Were you angry when this happened??? If so, and if you felt it was unfair for students to lose a professor who was an excellent instructor, then you will be interested in helping us in trying to insure the renewal of Professor Seybold. Professor Seybold will appear before members of the Behavioral Science Division in an open renewal hearing. We strongly encourage students to show their support for Peter by taking part in this hearing. We, as students of Parkside, have the right and obligation of making our own preferences known.

Cloutier and student Patricia Mulligan, conducted a controlled study of faculty salaries to determine the existence of discrimination on race or sex. The study began as a pedigogical exercise while Cloutier was teaching a course on the Economics of Human Resources. "Pa t Mulligan wanted to do honors work for the class. 1 thought that the availability of faculty salaries, which is public information, provided a unique opportunity to show Pat and the rest of the class, how one might go about testing for racial and sexual discrimination ill salaries,": said Cloutier. In the first half of the study, Cloutier and Mulligan determined the gross statistics that indicated the average salaries of men, women and minorities within a nine month period. These raw numbers indica ted that men are paid more than women and minorities are paid more than non -minorities. "OUf question was, is that evidence of discrimination," said Cloutier. "There are two types of discrimination; salary discrimination and occupational segregation. Our study dealt with salary discrimination, which is paying equals unequally. For example. someone in the Business Division may not have the same labor market characteristics as someone inthe Fine Arts Division, therefore, we had to control for all these differences other than race and sex, that might account for salary differentials," he said. In the controlled study, salaries are explained as a fWlCtion of rank, division, years of ex- perience and the important Foreignstudent affair conference features Dame R.

For example, it was found that a person in the Business Division in the 1982 - '83 years received a 21.1 percent increase in salary while the Fine Arts division showed an 8.7 percent decline in salary. In 1981-'82minorities showed a 7.3 percent increase in salaries. Accounting for everything else, this result showed that there was some evidence of purely racial .disparaties in salary. The 1982-'83 results show that this differential declined to 4.7 percent, but was statistically insignificant. The sex differentials for both years were negative, but wer~ also statistically insignificant because the differential was very small. "I interpret these results as showing that, on average, there is no evidence of salary discrimination based onsex. The race differential was positive. but was only significant in me 1981-'82 budget year." he said. Cloutier said that these results are consistent with other In- vestigations that have been conducted on faculty salaries. Therefore, he feels the ....ua are interesting, althoucbt not ...... prising. "Minorities are paid more than non - minorities because of the increased demand for minority candidates in educational positions. This differential has been observed since the early 197<ti, so it is not a new phenomenon," said Cloutier. One of the major lessons that Cloutier taught his students using this study is that discrimination can not he determined by looting at gross statistics. "There are many reasons other than discrimination why females get paid less than males and minorities get paId more thon non - minorities. The problem then becomes, how can you control the study for all these other things? This study shows one of the wa)'ll you can do it," said Cloutier. This ia Cloutier's __ year It Parkside.

As carol Frank stated (Letters, Mar. 3), this is a "soft core" porn movie. Sc:it core in- dicates that the sexual acts depicted in this movie are not overly explicit and are the same acts which millions in this country perfonn regularly. The acts which these movies portray are not acts of violence or perversion directed toward adults or children. As is common knowledge, child por- nOllraphy is illegal. As far as degrading women is concerned, if performing non - violent, non - perverted sexual acts is degrading and dehumanizing to wcmen why isn't it also the same to the men who appear in these movies?

'sed' th Currently on this campus, a powerful Issue has been rai '. e . programming and purpose of the scheduled X : rated film. The ~arks,de Activities Board (PAB) , in conjunction WIth the PAR Film sub- committee, programmed a total of thirteen films for the Spnng 1983 semester. One of them isX - rated. PAR is a major organization, open to any students who wish to become members ofthe programming process at Parkside. d 1 Segregated Fees (student monies) are used to finance and .eve op various programs for this campus, and 10 this case t~e momes are being spent by a student committee. As the programming body, PAR has a certain right to schedule that which they feel will produce the best student turnout. Thus, PAB is to program as they feel the students of this campus would prefer them to. The issue being raised by some stude.nts .questions ,:"hether or n~ a fiim ci this sort should he shown in an mstitution of higher educali~. Not because ci puritan ethics, but rather because of the degra~g nature the film has toward women. Some consider the fil~ s ramming a poor judgement on the part of PAR. Others see nothing ::'~g with a film of this sort. Still others will do what they can to see that the film is never shown here. But if the film .isn't sho~ beca~se ~f those efforts, that's censorship on PAB. Is that right?

Suddenly the community of this campus finds itself struggling to make judgements about the effects of an X - rated film 011 Its viewers. There are arguments pointing to tbe side that X - rated films have a negative effect on people's perceptions about the sex roles th<:y~ay. There are other arguments stating that the effect of these films ISlittle, and have little effect on already developed. perceptions. The question that starts to develop is who can make the Judgement on the effects of this film on the people of this campus???? , .

People have to wonder just who, at Parkside, ISready to make a judgement about this film??? The real question that starts \0 develop is, when does one group's freedom end, and another group s rights begin???? let movie run dehumanization from these films, nor do I know anybody (male or female) who has. What about measuring up? How many men have a physique like the men in porn films, indeed how many people are as physically at- tractive as any movie stars (G, PG, R, or X rated)? A large percentage of all actors are selected in part or whole for their physical attractiveness, whether talented or not. Donna L. Sahakian stated (Letters, Mar. 3) she felt the shOWing of this film was ". . . causing harmful effects on oor abilities to study or work in our academic setting."

Winter Carnival approaches again as the new year moves along. This year the carnival will offer traditional events, as well as fresh new approaches to fun in what can be a rough time of year. Winter Carnival is in its fourth year on Parkside's campus. It is a week long event designed to develop friendship and camaraderie through a variety of club and individual competitions. The festivities traditionally begin with the parade on Monday, and conclude with the dance on Friday. Winter Carnival will begin on Monday February 7, and conclude on Friday, February ll. Winter Carnival events are divided into two general areas: Club or Organizational Events, and Individual Events. To qualify for club events, organizations must be registered in the Student Activities Office (Union 209). The Winter Carnival Committee will award $150.00 and the Winter Carnival Traveling Trophy to the organization that scores the most points during the carnival through Club Events. Second and third places will also receive $100.00 and $50.00 respectively, and the second and third place traveling trophies. The point value system which will be used for determining the winner for an event will be: 1st Place -150 points; 2nd Place - 100 points; 3rd Place - 50 points; participation - 25 points; sponsoring an event - 125 points. Participation applies .to organizations who did not place" or sponsor an event. When sponsoring an event, an organization may not participate in it. Organizations will only be awarded points for sponsoring one event. Points from events will accumulate to determine Grand Prize winners. Individual events are open to all students, faculty and staff. For these events, individual cash prizes will be awarded according to the sponsorship of th e event. To register, pick up forms at the information desk in the Union, or in the Student Activities Office (Union 209). The following events are open to any club or organization registered with the Student Activities Office: 1. Window Painting, from Tuesday, February 1 to Friday, February 4. Only designated windows can be painted. Windows available for judging are located at the Ranger and PSGA offices, and Main Place. The paints used must be ones supplied by the Winter Carnival Committee, and the painting should be designed to follow the Carnival theme (Snow Wars: Parkside Strikes Back!) Clubs painting windows will be responsible for cleaning the windows by Wednesday, February 16. Windows will be judged on creativity and originality. 2. Blood Drive, Thursday, February 10. Anyone giving blood may credit it to the student organization of their choice, except Peer Support, who is sponsoring this event. The receptionist at the sign - up table will record this information and total it at the end of the day. There will be a first, second and third prize, according to the general Winter Carnival rules. 3. Parade Float Competition, Monday, February 7 at 1 p.m. on the concourse. For this competition, there are cash prizes added to the point totals as follows: first place, $100.00; second place, $50.00. The floats should also be designed to follow the carnival theme, and no gas will be judged on originality, creativity and overall appearance. Floats should be in Union 104-106by 11 a.m. on the 7th, and ready to roll by 12:50 p.m. 4. Outdoor Volleyball Tournament, Tuesday, February 8 and Friday, February ll. All teams by Bob Kiesling News Editor Parkside students will now have a more active voice in the Union's operation. The Parkside Union Advisory Board, forming this semester, will work with the Union administration in the formulation and implementation of guidelines in an attempt to better serve the Parkside community. The board is to consist of 13 members, ten voting members and three non - voting members. Of the voting members, three seats will be held by two faculty members and an alumnus. The two faculty members will be appointed by the Chancellor in cooperation with the University Committee. The Parkside Alumni Association will appoint an alumnus to fill that seat. One student will be appointed by each of the major organizations. In addition, two students, from the student body at large, will be elected to the Board, one in the fall and one in the spring. Appointments to the Board have so far been made by the Student Organization Council and Ranger. Non - voting members on the Board will be the Dean of S tudent Life, the Director of the Union and the Student Activities Coordinator. The non - voting positions are permanent appointments; voting members serve one - year terms. Recommendations of PUAB will be sent to the Dean of Student Life for consideration. If a conflict developes between the Dean of Student Life and the Board, a two - thirds vote is necessary to resubmit the recommendation for consideration. In the event of a continuing conflict, the recommendation will be sent to the Chancellor for a final decision. The Board's constitution states that it "shall seek to fulfill the educational goals of the University through the cooperation of the various elements within the University and the community."

Continued On Page Eight Guthrie Theater to perform here The Guthrie Theater, winner of the 1982 Tony Award as the best regional theater in America, will bring its touring production of Lanford Wilson's Pulitzer prize - winning romantic comedy "Talley's Folly" to Parkside for a performance at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25, in the Communication Arts Theater. A limited number of t ickets are available for the performance, which is part of the University's "Accent on Enrichment" series. Tickets are $8 each and are available in person or by mail from the Parkside Union Information Center (Phone 553- 2345). (UW-Parkside student tickets are $5 e ach.) The play, billed as "a no - hold barred romance," portrays the courtship of a witty Jewish immigrant, Matt Friedman, and a reserved Missouri spinster, Sally Talley. Their tale unfolds in an abandoned Victorian boathouse on the Fourth of July in 1944. Both Matt and Sally have guarded pasts: His involves the bitter experiences of a Jewish family on the run in Hitler's Europe; hers, an earlier broken - off love affair. As they reveal themselves to one another, they evoke not only the blossoming of their own love, but paint a vivid picture of the America of that era. Jacqueline Knapp, who plays Sally, has spent the last nine years in New York City creating roles in many new plays such as "Chainsaws," "On Bliss Street in Sunnyside," "The Big Freeze," "I Am A Zoo" and "Hillbilly Woman" under the direction of Arthur Penn. Her most recent effort was working under the direction of Elia Kazan in his latest theater project — intermixing Greek tragedy with today's threat of nuclear destruction. Television credits include "Don't Step On The Cracks," "Twice Upon A Congress" and "The Mike Douglas Show," as well as narrating many television specials including CBS - TV's award - winning "Reach Out" public arrairs series. Ms. Knapp is a member of the acclaimed Actors Studio founded by Lee Strasberg. Eugene Troobnick, with 13 Broadway and off - Broadway credits, plays Matt. In addition to his stage roles, he has appeared in several movies including "All That Jazz" and "Paternity" and spent three years as an associate professor at the Yale School of Drama and a member of t he Yale Repertory Company. He began his acting career as an original member of Chicago's Second City company, where he also founded that city's Playwright's Theater Club. His television appearances have been numerous, including roles in the Emmy award - winning "Tell Me Where It Hurts" and "The Trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg." "Talley's Folly" opened in New York in 1979 to rave critical reviews and won the 1980 Pulitzer Prize for drama as well as the New York Drama Critics Award. EUGENE TROOBNICK as Matt Friedman and Jacqueline Knapp as Sally Tally waltz together in Lanford Wilson's romantic comedy Talley's Folly, presented by the Guthrie Theater. It is playwright Wilson's second play about the Talley family, an uppercrust Midwestern family from Lebanon, Mo., Wilson's real - life home town. Wilson's first "Talley" play was "The 5th of July," set in 1977. His first big Broadway hit was "The Hot L Baltimore." The production will be directed by David Feldshuh, who is probably unique in American theater annals in holding both a PhD degree, in theater, and a Doctor of Medicine degree. Feldshuh feels his two careers compliment each other. "Theater works as a kind of r elief valve for the work I do in medicine," Feldshuh said in an interview. "Medicine is not a field where you're encouraged to express an overwhelming amount of emotion. In theater you are — theater is an important form of expression." But Feldshuh also finds that the awareness and focus on communication emphasized in actor training has helped him in working with his medical patients. For example, he believes that his actor - honed awareness of b reath patterns and eye focus has helped him recognize subtle manifestations of anxiety in his patients. "I take both careers very seriously," he said. "Medicine is real — it' s making decisions that have consequence." Theater, on the other hand, alters reality, and has a romantic side that attracts Feldshuh, who obviously feels he has the best of both worlds. Set and lighting for Guthrie's - touring production are by Jack Barkla. Thursday, January 20,1983 RANGER Editorial Let's get things moving At long last, the Parkside Union Advisory Board is becoming a reality. PUAB has the potential to become an effective voice in the operation of the Union, but its authority to effect meaningful changes must be strengthened considerably before it can function effectively. , , set oul 'n its constitution, the Board has the power only to advise the Union administration. This only contributes to its image as a "do nothing organization. But image is not at issue; with increased authority PUAB will be able to fulfill its role in the Union administration's decision process. One unfortunate by - product of the image problem is the lack of interest in the board. Scheduled to begin last semester, PUAB has suftered from a series of start-up delays. Even now, only two out of the ten voting seats have been filled. PUAB, in its present form, lacks the power it needs to command the attention, and the participation of the organizations involved. The fact that PUAB serves an advisory role is at the root of the problem. In the event of a conflict with the administration, the board has no recourse but to send its recommendation to the Chancellor. The Chancellor's decision is final. A more effective course of action would be to place any disputed recommendation on the ballot during the student elections, as a referendum. Giving the students the final say in any controversial decision would be the correct move. It is the students who most use the day - to - day services that PUAB oversees. It is the Student Union! One additional area that PUAB could become active in is programming. In this they would serve an advisory function; the Parkside Activities Board already oversees Union programming, quite effectively. More input, though, from various segments of the university community would help PAB determine which activies would best serve its interests. PAB's representatives on the board would be an effective liaison between the two organizations. As an exercise in shared university governance, PUAB has the potential to benefit all members of the university, but only if it is given a chance. Letter to the Editor Collegiate skills requirement gets questioned OUR BIPARTISAN EXTRA S TRENGTH SOCIAL SE CURITY FlX lT PILL MAY BE A L ITTLE DIFFICULT TO SWALLOW — BUT T HAT'S MS fault. To the Editor: Once again, I've been "Readmitted on Final Probation" for not fulfilling certain Collegiate Skills Requirements. Yes, that's right, this is the second "Final Probation." I could detail my checkered Collegiate Skills history, but it is not relevant to my abstract concerns. Before I continue, I wish to make it known that I have never laid blame on others for my irresponsible handling of the fulfillment of the Requirements. Admittedly, I'm not opposing the judgement of those who granted me the waiver. What I am opposing is a program on this campus, supposedly instituted to benefit the student, that, instead, sometimes causes unnecessary complexities. If the main concern of the Requirements is to benefit the student, why complicate the process with so much "red tape?" Or do the Requirements merely exist to abstractly prove how "competent" Parkside students are? (Would we all be able to pass these tests on graduation day?) If the point of all the letters, meetings, Permits to Register, etc., is to make the student "sweat," I feel their purpose is wasted. Rarely is the import of these proceedings realized if a waiver is "easily" obtained. If the student knows (from the word in the halls), that, seemingly, more often than not, students will be granted a waiver (what campus is going to turn away tuition payers today?) that student views the proceedings merely as hoops through which to jump, and the game is perpetuated. My purpose here is not to condemn, but to question, with the hope of receiving honest answers. If the process needs reviewing and/or revising, spend the time, and money there — n ot on paper work that causes time and money to be spent unproductively. Perhaps a qualified member of the Administration, who deals closely with Collegiate Skills matters, and cares to respond candidly to my concerns, would benefit not only me, but everyone on this campus. Name withheld upon request Bruce is back Think Piece by Bruce R. Preston Usually when a new column appears in a paper the editor writes an introduction which will justify and perhaps explain that column's purpose. However, I am writing my own introduction so the reader will understand that each idea which appears within this box is uniquely and exclusively my own. A paper often falls under fire for carrying a controversial column or article and more often than not it is the staff which suffers most. Let it be known here and now that although some of my opinions may reflect those of the staff, that is not my primary goal or intention. This is why my column will be printed with a box around it; to set it apart from the rest of the editorial fare. This brings us to, I'm sure, your first question: what then is the primary goal or intention of this column? To provide the reader with some insight and perhaps a different point of view into a topic which may either be extremely popular or relatively unknown. To supply the reader with information which s/he may not have otherwise had access to. To give the reader something to think and hopefully talk about. Thus the title, "Think Piece." Many of you may know I can't take credit for creating the title (that goes to Dr. Thayer and Professor Habble) but I hope that its application to this column will prove successful. Another possible question floating in your head (it floated in mine for a while) is: why abandon the People on Campus feature for a totally different type of c olumn? Because when something happens to totally infuriate you, you want to tell people. Just as when you find that by looking at a dull mass Editor's Notes Here we go again; business as usual by Pat Hensiak Editor So, the new semester starts. And as we all walk about again, in the daze we still feel from this long vacation we've just experienced, we'll all slowly begin to snap back into reality. For some it will be a rude awakening, and for some it will be slow but steady. For those who are really lucky, it will not be a shocking experience, but a rather refreshing experience. An opportunity to get back into the cycle, back to work, down to business. After all, getting down to business is what it's all about isn't it?? Falling back into the structured time zones we all know and love so well .... " . . . A t t h r e e o ' c l o c k , I h a v e t o stop at the store on my way to work, to pick up some Geritol for mom. Then, I have to be at work until eight - fifteen, when I have to be to choir rehearsal for another hour. After that, I can go home and study (What an awful thought) for a half an hour before I watch the two episodes of M*A*S*H that we all know I'm ritualistic about. After that, I'll pick up that Women's Studies book I've been avoiding, and read it for a while, or until I fall asleep. I'll get up a five A.M., to be at the open gym by six. We all realize how important good health is. Besides, getting up that early to go to the gym and exhaust myself helps me wake up. By eight I have to be to Calculus, so I'd better leave the gym at seven. That way I can stop for a cup of coffee to really help me wake up before the Calculus instructor puts me back to sleep in that tone he has . . . " And on goes the weary web we weave. Here we go again. After all that fun we experienced over the break, at some point, we are expected to get back down to business. For some it will be a simple task. Those people who buy their books three weeks before classes start, so they can have them all read before the course even begins. They love structure. They won't have children if the entire process takes more than nine months, they'll probably return the child to its previous address. And if the child does arrive within the proper structures, you can't help but feel sorry for the kid. Perhaps you should feel sorry for your own, your children are the ones who will end up being good friends with these overly structured children. Nonetheless, it's business as usual. For others, the task of starting this all over again will be fun. Those people who you always see when you're on your way to another class, and they look as if they never go to class. The trick about that, and the reason these people find it all so much fun, is that they end up getting A's and B's in their courses. After all, it's not what we learn, and how we expand our minds, it's how quickly and efficiently we can get a good grade without ever opening up a book. It doesn't matter if close to nothing is put on a retainment level. All that's necessary for a happy life is a slip of paper that says: I did it!!! These people love business; not just their own, everyone's. Then we come to those poor souls who could use a vacation for the rest of their lives. Every time you see them, they have seventeen books in their hands, and they are doing their best to have some time for socialization, but they don't seem to be having much luck with socializing and studying at the same time. These are the people you see locked in those little library rooms on the third floor, head in book, pencil in one hand, highlighter in the other. Searching for all they think is important. And when you buy their used books from the bookstore, the whole thing is highlighted. Just couldn't see it in their heart to leave anything out. Always kind souls. Always getting down to business. The lucky ones again are those who can make a simple transition without a great deal of strain, and yet manage to realize that they too are back down to business. These are sometimes rather complex people, they somehow manage to hold down a job, and take a full load, and have some time for being a person, and some time for being fun. Because, being a person is not always fun. But they do manage, they may get a bit frustrated at times, or maybe even lose their cool, but they always re - compose themselves, and they do seem to enjoy their business. I wonder if that's possible. Perhaps their attitude is a bit lighter and yet a bit more serious than the rest. Maybe more stable in ways. Business needs stability, my father always told me that. These people will probably have a great deal of fun, and get a great deal accomplished, and be a great deal happier than the rest. And if it is stability that does that to these people, I'm going to go and find some. Before I do that though, I have to answer the phone and edit this C0Py > and assign a whole new set of sory - line. I have to get down to business . . . from a new point of view it entertains a curious glow and you want to tell everyone about it. Although not everybody is going to read this, I will do my best to make each issue something worth thinking about. Here's where you as a reader come in. I welcome and encourage any and all feedback whether it is written in the form of a letter to the editor or verbal comments. I feel confident about the future of this column and hope you'll make the reading of it a weekly event.

On the night of December 20, someone entered the office and caused minor damage to a chair, dismantled a table, and destroyed a pillow throughout the office. Much of the other furniture was in disorder According to a photographer who was called in to take pictures "The smaller office, in the back of the larger, outer office was in a shambles." a Both Security and Assistant Chancellor Carla Stoffle were called to decide what had to be done about the situation. Stoffle commented, "We first thought that someone not involved with the university had come in and done the damage. We later found that it was someone from this campus, however no formal complaint has been filed. There aren't any witnesses stepping forward. Charges aren't being brought against anyone." Until a ormal complaint is signed, no cnarges can be pressed. Stoffle continued, "I demanded that restitution be made. The whole act was an inappropriate method of letting off steam, and it was a dumb thing to do." According to the University of Wisconsin Parkside, Conduct on University Lands, Chapter UWS 18, UWS 18.06 subse ction 4^. pertaining to Vandalism, "No person may break, tear up, mar, destroy or deface any notice, tree, vine, shrub, flower or other vegetation, or dislocate any stones, or disfigure natural conditions, or deface, alter, destroy or damage in any other way, any other property, real or personal, within the boundaries of any university lands unless authorized by the chief administrative office." Stoffle's final comment was that these rules of conduct are available at the information centers around the campus. If responsible for damages or misconduct on this campus, ignorance to these rules is not an excuse. DuPree to speak at Roundtable Dr. Louis DuPree, an anthropologist who has been doing research in Pakistan since 1949, will present two public talks during a three - day campus visit Monday through Wednesday, Jan. 24-26. DuPree is associated with University Field Staff International, an association of universities aimed at promoting international understanding. DuPree will open the second semester Social Science Roundtable series with a talk on "Afghan Responses to the 1978 Coup" at 12:15 p.m. in Union Room 104 -106 on Monday, Jan. 24. He will also present a slide - illustrated lecture titled "Pakistan: In the Center of the Storm" at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 25 in WLLC 363. "Pakistan has all the problems of a Third World Country — and then some," DuPree points out. Created out of the 1948 partition of the Indian subcontinent, Pakistan has constantly struggled to find a national identity. "Half the country broke away in 1971 to form independent Bangladesh, and Pakistan is still plagued with demands for regional autonomy by minority provinces," said DuPree, who earned his PhD at Harvard University and is the author of a number of books. "Three wars with India have left the Kashmir question unsolved and, finally, the 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan has complicated the strategic picture in South Asia and the Indian Ocean and has left neighboring Pakistan with the largest refugee problem in the world," DuPree said.

Coffeehouses will also be held on various days of the week throughout the semester in the Union Bazaar. There will be both a daytime and evening show for each performer. The first Coffeehouse will be o n Jan. 26 fro m noon to 2 p.m. and from 8 to 10 p.m. The music of Brian Quam / Downtown/Kenosha Regency Mall/Racine Shop both locations for men's wear Shop downtown Kenosha for women's wear by Jeanne Buenker-Phillips Student Organizations Council (SOC) is by far the largest of UWParkside's major organizations. SOC emb odies about forty - five student clubs as well as an executive board comprised of a vice - chair, Dave Schroeder, and a chair, Carla Thomas. Carla Thomas, as SOC chair, was a ppointed to her position in November when the ex-SOC chair, Steve Kalmar II resigned. At the time of his resignation, Carla was the vice - chair of SOC as well as the chair of SOC's sub - committee, Budget and Review Committee (B&RC). After Carla accepted her new appointment, Dave Schroeder was appointed to vice - chair of SOC and accordingly to chair of B & RC. When asked about Kalmar's resignation and the effect i t had on SOC, Thomas replied, "To be really honest, SOC has not really changed a lot because of his resignation. Attitudes have changed and Kalmar's resignation has sparked the interest of many SOC members." She added that, "It was hard to take over as chair because the members expected a lot." Vice - chair Schroeder, who is a dramatic actor as well as a PSGA SOC: In transition senator, is expected to chair the weekly meetings of B & RC and take Carla's chair if the need arises. B & RC is the only sub -. committee of SOC and is responsible for transferring and re - allocating club money as well as allocating money to newly appointed clubs. Thomas is very pleased with the progress Schroeder and B & RC have made since his appointment in November. Carla believes that, "SOC is at a point where it can either stagnate or grow." She hopes that it grows. She sees it as being, "unlimited in what this group could do f or the University. If we wanted to rally around an issue, we would have much power — even more than student government." Along with hoping for SOC's growth, Carla wants to see the executive board of SOC expand to be more representative of the number of clubs within SOC. She stated, "there is a lot of responsibility for two people. Two people are not representative of forty - five clubs." She would also like to see additional sub - committees created and suggested sub - committees such as Publicity and Fund - raising. Carla is very optimistic and hopes to achieve both goals during the spring semester, although she realizes that that will depend on SOC members. As to future goals for SOC as a whole, she would like to see more group projects. For example, "We (SOC) participate as a whole in both Winter Carnival and Fallfest but do not sponsor many events as a whole." Carla would also like to "try throwing leadership onto the members." She believes that this would help improve the cohesiveness and output of SOC. SOC elections are the third week in February and are followed by a one month transition period. So the new chair and vice - chair will not actually take office until March. When asked if she would be running for chair, Thomas replied "no," and added that she hopes to be graduating soon. She also said that, "SOC needs someone new. We just implemented new guidelines and now SOC needs to move on to a new direction." Carla sees herself as "Idealistic and hopes to pass this on to the next chair." She also added a little free advice to the future SOC: "leadership can only work if membership changes with it."

University of Wisconsin-Parkside Thursday, January 20,1983 RANGER Anthro Antics A Swiss citizen views his country by Gina G. Sheppard-Wolthausen Anthropology is said to be a very young science. Scholars have only identified themselves as such for a little over 100 years. But the subject matter of anthropology — customs, social and political organizations, human variation * and race, rituals and human value systems — have interested the learned since before Christ. In the 5th century, Herodutus collected ethnographic descriptions of the Babylonians, Scythians and other Middle Eastern peoples' life styles. Some have called him a historian, but by definition a historian gives an "account of past events" not an analysis of the variations in human populations. In 7 B.C., Strabo, a Greek scholar, began paying particular attention to the relationship between culture and geography. This may have been the birth of Cultural Ecology. During the Middle Ages, Arab scholars began studying the variations in governmental systems and religious practices while the Renaissance saw an increase in archeological research. Anthropology as a science was actually established and defined during the Age of Exploration when the diverse life styles of the world's people were being accumulated. Explorers, such as Christopher Columbus, James Cook and Fray Bernardina de Sahagun, recorded accounts of indigenous peoples that included not only descriptions of the cultures but also the physical types of the people they met. Anthropology's first theorist was a man named Acosta in 1590 AD. He combined actual field observations with cross - cultural comparisons and applied these to theoretical conceptualizations. The precedent for the applied anthropologists was set in 1851 when Lewis Henry Morgan acted as legal counsel for the Iroquois. His ethnographic data and testimony assisted the Iroquois in legally establishing the boundaries for their traditional lands. His data is said to be the first scientific account of an Indian tribe ever given to the world. Today, modern anthropology has a constant emphasis on understanding a culture from the people's point of view while using quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The basic perspective of anthropology remains comparative and holistic. The Anthro Club invites you to attend their first seminar featuring Dr. Louis DuPree from the American Universities Field Staff. Ethnic Groups in Afghanistan will be the discussion topic on Wednesday, Jan. 26 at 1 p.m. in Moln. 324. Bring your lunch and your thoughts. by John Kovalic A cold, mountainous land, full of psuedo - Germanic people with a fetish for cleanliness and a taste for chocolates, cheeses and cuckoo clocks, Switzerland did not leave many more impressions on me during a two - day visit there three years ago. What else could you expect from a country just half the size of Maine? What indeed? Herbert Kubly's latest book, "Native's Return," is full of surprises, insights and quality reading. Subtitled "An American of Swiss Descent Unmasks an Enigmatic Land and People," the book is both entertaining and enlightening at the same time. Once begun, it is hard to put down. Kubly, a professor of English, teaches beginning and advanced Creative Writing here. He is the author of ten books, including "An American in Italy," which won the National Book Award in 1956, and "Italy," and "Switzerland," for the Time - Life World Library Series. Kubly is an American of Swiss descent who returns to visit his native land. He sees the country as no tourist could, and what he sees is not the clean, quiet clockmakers, but the unrest and oppression, the quirks and contradictions.

"A country which prides itself in its social enlightenment, Switzerland did not, until 1971, after a long and bitter political battle, grant suffrage to women. In one canton — Appenzel — and in isolated rural communities in Canton Graubunden, women in the present time are still not permitted to vote on cantonal and local issues. "A Swiss is not a citizen of the federation, but of his commune of birth, with patriotism being purely a local matter. This is what is known as 'Kantoli - Geist,' the 'Little Canton Sprit,' and leads to jealousy and rivalry. A local Lucerne joke about a man from Uri, where baths are, according to the rest of the country, not popular, tells of him keeping a goat in his parlor. When asked of the problem of smell he replies: "After a while the goat gets used to it." Kubly also deals with the myth that Switzerland is a placid country. He writes: "Since I have been in Switzerland anarchists' (A catch - all epithet which the Swiss use for all categories of rebels and protestors), have bombed the Police Station and City Hall, and Arab terrorists shot up an Israeli plane in the Zurich airport. In February a disgruntled employee set fire to the Zurich central telephone office and a third of the city was without phone service for a month. "A student demonstration, displaying blood - red paint and Red Chinese flags, provoked high public indignation. 'How is it possible that something like this could happen in Switzerland?' asked a banker." The book provides a fascinating insight into a country and its inhabitants, and provides arresting reading, drawn from Kubly's experiences as a citizen of Elm, a small mountain town where his ancestors lived before emigrating to America. The book is an arresting portrait of a land torn between tradition and modernism, a people in upheaval. I can strongly recommend "Native's Return" to just about anyone. Next time I go to Switzerland I hope to see, as Kubly has, more than just mountains and clocks. 1635 50th St., Kenosha 654-6382 THE SPINNING WHEEL LIVE LOUNGE MUSIC Every Saturday Night NO COVER EARLY BIRD SPECIAL 25710 oz.

"The Verdict" and "Tootsie" stand out as the finest of the lot, but just about everything else left me cold Last Christmas we had "Reds" and Ragtime," and I was hoping for films equally good this year Maybe I was hoping for too much' Another thing that bothered me about the Christmas films was their lack of realism, especially emotional realism. Hollywood seems to have gauged the fact that many Americans are out of work and depressed, so they have given us fantasy (Dark Crystal) screwball comedy (The Toy, Kiss Me Goodbye), or films about Hollywood movie people and / or New York theater people (Best Friends, Tootsie). No one in these films seems to be out of work or have any financial problems — in fact, most seem to be rich. Emotional unrealism is evidenced in a film like "Six Weeks." But I'll let my other reviewer talk about that. In fact, there are three critics in all covering the Christmas movies. Me, veteran critic Rick Luehr, and newcomer Dave Schroeder. Tootsie Dustin Hoffman stars as Michael Dorsey, an unemployed actor who decides to seek employment as an actress, Dorothy Michaels. Michael / Dorothy lands a lead role in a soap opera, and quickly becomes nationally famous. But he falls in love with one of his co - stars (Jessica Lange), and here is where much of the film's humor is derived. Hoffman shines in his double role — a s Michael he plays a tempermental, "difficult" actor, i.e., himself. As Dorothy he is perfect — he looks , talks, he is a woman. Halfway through the film Dorothy becomes a totally separate personality, and the Michael character fades into the background. This is what is so superb about Hoffman's performance. I actually ended up caring more about Dorothy than Michael. Jessica Lange climbs out from under the heavy stigma of "King Kong" with her fine performance as Hoffman's co - star. I was riveted by her beauty and her on - screen chemistry. "Tootsie" gets highest recommendations. Best Friends "Best Friends" starred Burt Reynolds and Goldie Hawn as two screenwriters in Hollywood who decide to take the big step and get married, after having lived together five years. They then decide to visit their parents, first Goldie's in Buffalo, then Burt's in Virginia. These scenes are the best in the film. Goldie's parents live in an old brownstone — the y are quiet, reserved, conservative people. Burt's parents live in a huge condominium, and are boisterous, loud. The contrast between the parents is interesting. But as Burt and Goldie see more of their parents' lives, they become less sure of their own marriage. Eventually, when they get back to California, they break up, only to have a tearful reunion. Fine. Now here is my problem with the film. It has no life. It has no spark. It makes many good points about love and marriage, but it is so bogged down in its own inaction that we don't care. I never really cared about the characters or what happened to them — I never really laughed much — yet the film is supposed to be a love story and a comedy. The biggest problem of t he film is its script — it is utterly boring. The second problem is that Goldie Hawn and Burt Reynolds are such big superstars that I have trouble believing their characters. They really don't act in this film — they just recite lines. They are both good actors, but their hearts were not in this material. Their characters are bland, faceless beings who seem to have no distinguishing traits whatsoever. The script was bland, the acting was just as bland, this is a dead film that portends to be about life. Kiss Me Goodbye "Kiss Me Goodbye" was a bit better. Sally Field, James Caan and Jeff Bridges star in this fantasy - comedy about a woman who is about to marry her second husband when she discovers that the ghost of her first husband has come back to, well, haunt her. Sally Field plays the somewhat air - brained bride - to - be who has to actually choose between her dead husband and her fiance. This isn't a tough role for her, but she adds warmth and dimension to an otherwise unreal personality. James Caan is very good as the dead husband, a snide, sarcastic, funny man. He should be good — he's played this role before. Jeff Bridges is also excellent in his small role as Sally Field's future husband. This movie isn't supposed to be deep, and it isn't. The characters are all interesting, and I actually cared about them. That is a feat for such an unreal comedy. "Kiss Me Goodbye" was enjoyable enough. No Oscar contender here, but a fun film. I must reiterate — I liked "Tootsie" and "Kiss Me Goodbye," but neither had the emotional impact of last year's "Reds" or "Ragtime." Of course, "Tootsie" was not meant to be a serious drama. But I think we need more dramas — we h ave so many comedies, many of them mediocre. by Dave Schroeder Hi, I'd like to tell you about some of the movies that I saw over the Christmas break, but first I'd like to tell you about the way I'll be rating them. I will use the basic star method that one sees in the morning papers (Chicago Tribune, Sun Times, etc.). You know, **** equals excellent, *** equals good, ** equals below average, and * is the pits. This way, you can decide if you want to see the movies that I didn't like on $1.50 nig ht, if I didn't carve it up too badly. Enough about the rating system, how 'bout them movies? One Dark Night First, I'd like to start with a horror flick called "One Dark Night." Meg Tilly, whom you might remember as Matt Dillon's girlfriend in "Tex," stars as a teenage girl who doesn't always want to be known as a nice girl, so she tries to join a gang. The leader of the gang, played by Robin Evans, decides that the best initiation for the new girl would be to spend the night in the town mausoleum, drugged up on Demerol, while two other girls in the gang dress up in ghastly masks to torment her. But, alas, unknown to these helpless girls, the recently laid to rest body of an evil but telekinetic man is also in that mausoleum. The evil man then brings all the other corpses to life to scare the Continued On Page Six RANGER BASKETBALL & POST GAME ENTERTAINMENT FOLLOWING THE: Jan. 20 uw PARKSIDE UW WHITEWATER GAME BAND UNION SQUARE 9:00 PM $3.00 AT THE DOOR — OR — BASKETBALL TICKET EXC HANGE ADM.

Meanwhile, the evil man's daughter, played by Melissa Newman, discovers her father's plot, through a tape that is played to her and her own telepathic powers. She goes to save the day, despite her husband's objections (played by Adam West, who, coincidentally, delivers his lines in such a way that you expect him to slide down the Batpole the minute she leaves the house.) Are you laughing yet? If not, wait until you see the special effects. None of them even look remotely real, and they often caused the audience to burst out in fits of laughter. The dialogue was inane, the plot was confusing and ridiculous. There were not any scares whatsoever, although the director tried every cheap trick in the book, so I find this movie barely worth one star. * Six Weeks One of the biggest disappointments of the year was "Six Weeks." Not even the talents of acting heavyweights Mary Tyler Moore and Dudley Moore could save this movie from its script. The story revolves around a millionairess and her dying daughter. The daughter, played by Katherine Healy, after meeting candidate for the U.S. Senate Dudley Moore, introduces him to her mother, Mary Tyler Moore. Dudley immediately falls in love with her, and announces to his wife that he has to spend his time with these two ladies, rather than his own family. Most of the rest of the film deals in sappy little scenes of these three pledging love to each other until you become nauseous. The film's basic problem is that it doesn't give you any characters that you can care about. Mary Tyler Moore's character is very austere. Katherine Healy can dance beautifully, but her character is so spoiled that you want to have a chance to throttle her before she has the chance to die on you; and Dudley Moore's character wisecracks so much that you can't take him seriously. There is one scene that is worth seeing. Near the end of the movie, Katherine Healy gets to dance "The Nutcracker," and while the way she gets to do it is totally unbelievable, the dance is exquisite, and almost makes the movie worth seeing on dollar night. Overall, however, the movie tried too hard to make you cry, and never made your eyes water, so I have to say no tears, and two stars for "Six Weeks." ** The Verdict One of the finest films of the year is "The Verdict," starring presents Student's Special Dinner Includes: one chicken, pork, beef or shrimp dish with rice, cookie and tea All for s2.95 with 4 or more orders and Parkside I.D. any time Whey Chai Chinese Kestaurant 400 Main St., Racine Visit the lion Whey Chai Restaurant 2683 Sheridan Road Je ODliie 0weet In The Parkside Union FEATURING YOUR FAVORITE CANDY, NUTS AND SNACKS SOLD THE OLD FASHIONED WAY JANUARY SPECIAL FREE ]A Lb. Sampler With Any Purchase of $1.00 or More Paul Newman. Yes, just as you have heard, Paul Newman has turned in his finest performance to date. He plays a down and out, alcoholic lawyer who has one last chance to prove to himself, as well as the rest of the world, that he is worth something. Although he is complimented by one of the strongest supporting casts of the year (James Mason, Charlotte Rampling, and Jack Warden, to name a few), Mr. Newman shines in his finest hour. His most superb moments are when he does not even say a word, he just sits and thinks. Not only are the performances strong, but David Mamet's screenplay is flawless, and what probably led to the fine performances was the skillful direction by Sidney Lumet. His imaginative use of camera angles and silence in the film really brought it to life. This is one of the quietest films you'll ever see. I have heard some people say that this film was slow. At times, nothing is happening in the film, and this is because there is nothing happening in the attorney's life. Because he is doing nothing to turn his life around, it is frustrating to the spectator, and therefore very powerful. And through the final court scenes, in the quiet courtroom, one's heart pounds just as fast as it did in any of the chase scenes in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." Yes, the only thing "The Verdict" is guilty of is being one of the finest courtroom dramas of all time. **** by Rick Luehr The Toy "The Toy" was a fairly amusing Christmas offering. The film, based on a French film with the same title, was the story of Jack Brown, who is "bought" by a rich man's son. The son has been promised by his father, to pick out anything for Christmas. The film then details the pranks that the boy pulls on Jack, and the love that develops between them. Jackie Gleason and Richard Pryor were very good in their roles, as was Wilfred Hyde - White, one of my favorite character actors, as the butler. The one character that I didn't care for at all was the "German" nanny. Her feeble attempts at a German accent came no closer to Germany than Brooklyn. The main problem that "The Toy" had was that it tried to do too much. It tried not only to be a slapstick comedy, but a sensitive film about the growing attachment between Jack and the boy, and a socially relevant film as well. If it had committed itself to one of these types I feel that it would have been a much better film. Airplane II: The Sequel One of the major disappointments of the Christmas season was "Airplane II: The Sequel." The first fifteen minutes were fairly promising. Then, however, things got bad, and the movie deteriorated rapidly to jokes about such "hilarious" subjects as rape, beastiality, and beating the mentally ill. Most of the gags were exact copies of gags used in "Airplane." Of course, I shouldn't have expected much, seeing that the script was written by Ken Finkleman, whose only previous credit, and use that term loosely, was the screenplay for "Grease II." It seems to me that Mr. Finkleman is on the verge of a brilliant career writing cheap, derivative, rip - off sequels to successful films. Dark Crystal One of the best, if not THE best, films of the Christmas season is the "Dark Crystal." This epic fantasy created by "Star Wars" producer Gary Kurtz and father of the Muppets Jim Henson, tells the story of a land populated by strange and wonderful creatures including the human - like Gelflings, and the evil, vulture - like Skeksis. A young Gelfling named Jen, supposedly the last of his kind, is given the mission of returning the missing shard of the so - called Dark Crystal, and return the land to good. The main obstacle to Jen's mission is the fact that the Crystal is in the possession of the Skeksis. Jen embarks on a journey across the wilderness to the Skeksis castle, meeting various creatures, including another Gelfling. Mr. Kurtz and Mr. Henson have created a world that is totally unique and absolutely breathtaking. Located in the Union Bazaar Directly Across from the Info. Ctr. FOR DETAILS STOP DOWN PARKSIDE ONION REC CENTER Fun with Dick: Bitchin ' bout books by Dick Oberbruner I love buying books. I love working my butt off to pay for tuition and then scraping for book money. We're all born in debt anyway, right? Nowadays, paying the same for books as tuition makes sense because, as students, our education is worth it. The book prices are nice. I'm glad my millionaire uncle died and left me sole heir to his will. Used books have a homey quality: passed through many hands, marked by many pens, sitting on the shelf collecting dust. Priceless. That's why I don't mind paying the down home prices. Hardcover books are my favorites. They really thin out my wallet quick. It's so cumbersome walking with a pocket full of twenties. Of course, I could write a check, but it would bounce to Timbuktu. An extra treat is the flimsy bag. After unloading the books the poor thing resembles something attacked by an angry cat. This leads to nicks and bent pages (lowering the return value). I was smart this year. I brought two - ply grocery store bags. But just like a carry - out boy and bread, the attendent put the paperbacks on the bottom and were smashed. Some classes have several books as required reading. Great. This rids me of my money sooner. I would much rather force feed five tastey novels than show detailed concern with one classic. Skimming is easier than reading an entire book. I get the satisfaction of turning every page even though I don't quite understand the material nor test too well on it. Some books do not arrive until mid - semester. Some not at all. This is easier for the serious minded student. We can place full concentration on the books we do have. When the books arrive, we'd be happy to zip right through them in order to get that C plus. If all else fails, there is summer school. To get my money's worth this semester, I'll have to read each book five or six times. No problem. This assures me of a high grade point average and two hours of sleep every night. No doubt the attendents put in long hours of preparation for the ten minutes it takes to gather and charge us hundreds of dollars. They don't appear to sympathize with us at all. Poker faces. I went through three without hearing one "have a nice day." They don't realize I just robbed a bank in order to pay. Banks tighten up security when a new semester begins. I caught a friend cussing at the buildings. He spent $100 o n three books. He should vent his frustrations more appropriately, like jogging. When I return my books at semester's end, I hope to receive at least half of the million I spent. I have a future to be concerned with. Wait, there's a better idea. Rather than exchanging our books for cash let's pile them up and have a bonfire. A Fahrenheit 451 protest. We'll show that bookstore. They're not taking control of my knowledge. In the past I bought books from stores like Goodwill. Their books are too cheap now. It is simply outrageous to pay a quarter for a musty ol' book that took a half hour to find when it only takes five minutes for an attendent to find a new $20 hardcover edition. I want thrift, not generic. tough times- 1snt Reagan Peaches, mfill uou tt a dj0rouprs sel'i"p .1 may have to What will I ask for Christmas next year? Book money. Goodwill games provide excitement Thursday, January 20, 1983 by Tori Murray Sports Editor Guess what I did Saturday night? I went to a track meet Big deal, right? Well, it was for'me This wasn't any track meet THIS was The Second Annual Goodwill Allstate Life Games. This meet was the opening meet for many premier track athletes. I spent the entire meet in awe as I saw in person the athletes that I have admired and read about in running magazines for years It was a thrill seeing world record holder in the long jump Carl Lewis jump to a victory. I made sure I saw high jumper Dwight Stone's every jump, I had heard so much about this outspoken athlete. The names were so impressive Hurdlers Greg Foster, Candy Young, Stephanie Hightower, and American record holder Gwen Gardener. There were two names though that, for me personally, made the meet. Evelyn Ashford and Jim Heiring. Evelyn Ashford has been a top name in the track and field world since I began running. She is Runner's World pick for the '84 Olympics in the 200 meter sprint and the 100 meter sprint. On Saturday night, Ashford ran the 50 meter dash. A dynamic personality as well as competitor, Ashford finished in 6.16 seconds in the trials, quite a few tenths of a second under the other athletes. The finals were much closer, but Ashford showed her usual form and came out the winner. After her races, she waved and blew kisses to the 6,156 fans that were on hand to watch the exciting competition in the Rosemont Horizon. As I sat in the press box, I could not believe what I saw! Right before my very eyes, I saw an American record smashed. Former Parkside walker Jim Heiring bettered the American record by 27 seconds in the men's 3000 meter walk. His time was 11:32.15. I still can't get over it. Ski jumping championships i n Westby And to think I rode there in the same van as this world class athlete. Heiring holds American and world walking records in five distances: l mile, 1500 meters, 2 miles, 3000 meters and 5000 meters. He is a former Olympian and is a member of Parkside's Hall of Fame. "The crowd was great! I am happy with my performance and the American record because I feel I am still not in top racing form. I feel stronger now than I did last year and hopefully that is a good sign. My training is going well and with a little luck I will be ready to walk against the East Germans again this summer," commented the modest Heiring on the record. Before the meet, as we were preparing to leave I overheard Heiring say something about the first meet always being the worst. Looks like he didn't have anything to worry about. Parkside was well - represented The G. Heileman Brewing Company, in conjunction with the United States Ski Association and Snowflake Ski Club of Westby, Wis., is sponsoring the Old Style USSA National Ski Jumping Championships on Feb. 5-6. The event will draw the top ski jumpers from the United States and Canada to Westby, located about 25 miles southeast of La Crosse. It is the final event before the Pre - Olympic Games in Sarajevo, Yogoslavia. The two - day championship will be held at the Westby Ski Hill, one of the top ski jumping facilities in the world. Spectators will see America's best jumpers flying more than 300 feet at speeds in excess of 60 miles per hour. The competition will begin at 1 p.m. each day. In addition to the national championships, Old Style and Old Style Light will sponsor Winterfest La Crosse, a full weekend of skiing activities, designed for skiers who want to participate in organized competition. Alpine, cross country and ski jumping are the activities scheduled at Mt. La Crosse and Westby Ski Hill. Trophies will be awarded to top skiers in each class and there will be categories for club competition.

Will Preischel was 9th in 14:19.4 and David Lawrence was eleventh in 15:16.3. Deb Spino finished third in the 1500 meter run in 4:38.97. Despite a knee injury that has been bothering her lately, Spino ran smooth and strong. She did numerous spurts, challenging her competitors, which made an exciting race. Parkside also entered a 1600 meter relay team in the meet. They finished second in 4:22.8. The relay team consisted of Dona Driscoll, Jane Roscykowski, Karen Jacobsen, and Sue Meyer.

The crowd left disappointed as Northern Michigan defeated Parkside 76-68. The Rangers started quickly, opening up a 20-9 lead midway through the first half, but Northern Michigan closed the gap to 36-31 at the half. Both teams played evenly through most of the second half, until about five minutes to go, when Northern Michigan pulled even after Parkside missed the front of five bonus situation free throws. Northern Michigan took the lead for the first time with about four minutes to play, then held on for the win. Brian Diggins of Parkside led all scorers with 29 points; Sean Patterson added 18 points. Northern Michigan had five players in double figures, led by Franz Jenkin's 17 points. It should be noted that two players are ineligible to play for the second semester; Jay Rundies, the leading scorer at the beginning of the year, and Harlan SPORT NEWS Hill, the floor general and assist leader. The loss of these two players is a blow to the team, so the Rangers will have to work hard to make up for them. I'm sure, though, that Coach Johnson will work something out. Good luck in the second half, guys. WRESTLING Winter Carnival Sculptures should be built in the court area between the Comm Arts building and the concourse.

The Winter Carnival Committee hopes that all will enjoy the upcoming events. by Maureen Burke The Parkside wrestling team was very busy over Christmas vacation. The team competed in four meets — two were tournaments. Most recently the team competed in the Midwest Classic championships in Indianapolis, IN on Jan. 14-15. The Rangers won the 17 - school tournament. The team won 29 of 37 matches. The Rangers certainly outclassed second place team Carson - Newman, from Tennessee. They finished 39-1/2 points ahead of them. Some outstanding wrestlers for Parkside were Mike Vania (126) and Mike Muckerheide (158) who won titles in their weight classes. Mike Winter also won a title at 132 pounds. Mike Vania was named the tournament's outstanding wrestler. He won the 126 l b. title by winning 3 matches including a pin in the championship match. MEN'S TRACK The Parkside men's indoor track season has begun. The team consists of twelve men, mostly freshmen, but there are a couple of juniors and seniors. The team has been concerned mostly with middle distance events. The half - mile, mile and 2 mile events. The goal for the indoor season is to compete in the indoor championship Feb. 25-26 in Kansas City, MO. To qualify they have to compete in a two - mile relay and do well. So far this season the team has competed in three open meets. One individual expected to perform well this season is John Anderson who is a pole vaulter. Most of the other team members are in the range of middle distance and they will add substance to the team. Coach Lucian Rosa commented, "If they qualify for the indoor championship in Kansas City, they will do well for the outdoor season."

Need to talk with an understanding person who's been where you are? If so, remember the Campus Ambassadors, Parkside's goodwill force. The CAs, now in their second year, are students who can answer the questions and address the concerns of students who are a bit apprehensive or frightened about entering college. Successful students themselves, they impart the survival knowledge they've accumulated through the years to help make college a less strenuous, more rewarding experience for the as-yet uninitiated. 9 Maintaining a higher profile is a priority of this year's Ambassadors. To that end, the twelve of them will be highly visible throughout Back to School Week, manning their Comm Arts concourse (adjacent to the Campus Store) and distributing information on Parkside's various clubs and organizations. So, if you have a problem and would like to talk to someone who knows where you're coming from, look for any of these Campus Ambassadors: Rich Borkowski, 23, is a senior sociology major seeking teacher certification. He's become a CA because he wants to "contribute something to other Parkside students and have an impact on the future ones^" Jenny Carr, 36, is a junior English major also pursuing a minor in women's studies. In addition to her work as a CA, Jenny is a PSGA senator, co-news editor of the Ranger and a tutor with the Academic Resource Center. "Being involved at Parkside has done a lot for my selfconfidence," she says. "And I feel other students could benefit from this type of involvement." Aldred Days, 20, is a junior criminal justice major who's also involved with BSO. "I'm interested in Parkside and in giving it a good reputation," he says. "I also want to help students make a smooth transition from high school to college." Bev Landreman, 55, is a sophomore political science and art major beginning her second year as a CA. "We only go around this academic life once," the president of Peer Support says, "so we should make the most of itlearn and enjoy." Kimberlie Kranich, 21, is a senior communication major and a first-year CA. "I'm a How to get involved at Parkside Campus Ambassador because I walked by the CA window last year and liked the feeling I got," she says. Kim is also active as president of the Parkside Association of Communicators, a Ranger conews editor and a member of the tennis team. Kathy Matranga, 23, is a senior psychology major seeking teacher certification. Also involved with chorale and chamber singers, Kathy "believes in Parkside's future and in welcoming and assisting new students." Chuck Metz, 21, is a junior communication major who is also a PSGA senator, a member of SUFAC and PSGA's treasurer. "I enjoyed being a CA last year," he said. "And I would like to see this year's CA's have even more fun." Carol Romano, 22, is a senior geography major seeking teacher certification. A member of cross-country and track, she's competed at the National Olympic Sports Festival. She likes being a CA because "I feel that the new, incoming students deserve a chance to get a view of the campus and campus life from a peer's point of view." Kay Rouse, 42, is a senior international studies major who is also involved with the honors program and the In- "Despite what students may have been led to believe by the faculty," says Bill Serpe, "there is more to Parkside than studying 60 hours a week." Serpe, chair of the Student Organizations Council (SOC), assumes the responsibility of stimulating extra-curricular involvement among students. ' 'The college experience can be so much more rewarding if students get involved outside the classroom," says Serpe. "Parkside has over forty clubs and organizations which offer all kinds of opportunities for students to grow socially as well as intellectually. "It's especially important," Serpe continued, "for new students to get involved. Starting college can be an overwhelming experience, and getting to know people who share your interests can help ease the burden of adjusting." SOC oversees the operation of the following academic-related and social clubs, most of which are open to all interested students: Accounting Club Alpha Psi Omega (Dramatic Arts) American Society for Personnel Administrators Anthropology Club Art Addicts Parkside Asian Student Organization Biological Sciences Club Black Student Organizaion Bowling Club Parkside Association of Communicators Computer Club Dance Ensemble Data Processing Management Association Doctor Who Speculative Fiction Society Parkside Society of Engineering Science Geology Club Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship Nordic Ski Club Parkside Activities Board Philosophical Society Peer Support Organization Physics Club Pi Sigma Epsilon Political Science Club Pre-Med Club Parkside Student Government Association Psychology Club Ranger Sailing/Sailboard/Ski Club Shooting Club Student Wisconsin Education Association Student Trainers Club Wargamers International Studies Club Campus Ambassadors Music Club Women's Studies Club Circle K (Kiwanis) Students interested in finding out more about any of these clubs can contact Serpe in the SOC office.

In addition, Sandi has worked as a first grade Sunday school teacher for five years. Blake Topel, 19, is a sophomore math major seeking teacher certification.

From the 1986-87 Ranger staff. Find out Friday! RANGER Tuesday, September 2, 1986 3 Welcome . . . An open letter to students Dear new Parkside students: We are excited about the upcoming school year. You should also be excited, because you're on the ground floor of something special. It is the beginning of a new era for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. We have three new additions to our school that you should know about. Most of you already know that the Residence Halls are new. They will bring a new environment to our campus. For the first time we will have students who actually live on campus. We also have a new Chancellor, Sheila Kaplan, who comes to us this year from New York via Minnesota. She's new, with new ideas and goals to lead Parkside into this next era and into the 20th Century. Gary Grace is also new. He is our new Assistant Chancellor for Student Affairs. He has a wealth of knowledge in student services and brings years of experience in student housing to help ours move along. We want to let you know that besides your classroom work, your college experience should also include other activities — activities of your choosing. Some people look for purely social and recreational activities. Others look for more extensive work in the areas of their studies. There are also those who find activities which are both. Here at Parkside we have many organizations for you to choose from. We encourage you to look around, ask questions and get involved. We Parkside Board of Student Governors (I-r): Adrian Serrano, Bev Landreman, Bill Serpe, Marie Aiello, Gary Schneeberger. represent the five major organizations on campus and would like to tell you what our organizations do. Parkside Activities Board (PAB), plans most all the activities that go on around campus; such as dances, concerts, movies, trips, entertainers, etc. Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA), is the voice of the students to the faculty and administrators in campus governance matters, and the safeguards of student rights. Peer Support Organization (PSO), is the organization for non-traditional age students, to help make their entry into college as comfortable as possible. Ranger, is the student newspaper on our campus. It is run by students and comes out weekly. Any student can write for the newspaper. Student Organization Council (SOC), is the body of all the club presidents. They represent over 40 student clubs on campus, ranging from social to academic. Please seek any of us out if you have questions about our organizations. We will be than happy to help. Sincerely, Adrian Serrano, PSGA President Marie Aiello; PAB President Bev Landreman, PSO President Gary Schneeberger, Ranger Editor Bill Serpe, SOC Chairperson i i Animal House" Come and make a splash by Ronda Ditter Back to School Week will conclude with a big "splash" on Friday at 1 p.m. with a special Splash Contest at the pool in the Physical Education building. All students attending Parkside are eligible to participate. Participants will be judged in seven categories: costume, originality, height of splash, effort, poise, audience participation and sportsmanship. Judges and moderators will be present, with The "Double-F Twins," Gary Schneeberger and Bill Serpe, serving as event announcers. Prizes will include a $25 gift certificate redeemable at the book store. Seven $10 c ertificates will be given as second place prizes. In addition, all entrants will receive a token for a free soft drink at the Union and will be eligible for a drawing, offering valuable prizes, including another $25 gift certificate. All prizes will be awarded during half-time of the Parkside-St. Scholastica soccer game at 4 p.m. Participants must be present to win. Open swimming will be offered after the contest until 4 p.m. Two bands set to perform by Suzanne Mantuano To add to the festivities of Back to School Week, two bands have been hired to entertain the masses of new and returning students who will be attending the events. On Wednesday, the newly-formed Kenoshabased band Cutout will be performing outside Main Place in the grassy area from 2 to 4 p.m. "I heard about the band because their leader is a Parkside graduate. They play mostly dance rock and new wave music," said Adrian Serrano, president of the Parkside Student Government Association. In order to get new students to attend the functions of Back to School Week, the Live Entertainment Committee chose Wally Cleaver as its entertainment. "Our committee chose them because they are very popular around here. This way it will bring in more freshmen if it's a band they know," said Marie Aiello, president of the Parkside Student Government Association. At 8:30 Friday the doors to the Union Square will open. A half hour later Wally Cleaver will begin the first of their fifty minute sets. "The event Is to get more people out and to have fun the first week of school," Serrano said. "Sort of like a kick-off fun event." Cult favorite shown on Pad by Jim Neibaur Entertainment Editor In commemoration of our return to academia, the Parkside Activities Board (hereafter known as PAB), will be presenting the 1978 campus comedy "National Lampoon's Animal House." While certainly not among the most important cinematic achievements in the genre of comedy, "Animal House" is still a very apropro presentation for "Back to School Week." The film celebrates the lighter side of the college experience with doses of slapstick, anarchy, sex, and stereotypical attitudes. Director John Landis* purpose in creating this movie was apparently as a non-cerebral entertainment than an attempt at any serious competition with the work of Charlie Chaplin or Jacques Tati. What is genuinely important about "Animal House" is that it not only spawned a handful of future screen stars (most notably the late John Belushi), but altered the course of comedy in motion pictures. Since its release, we have seen a seemingly endless supply of brash upstarts in major comedy roles whose humor is about as subtle as The Three Stooges and whose attitudes exemplify the results of the seventies "Me Decade." In this sense, "Animal House" can be considered somewhat of a milestone. A more positive note about this film is that it is definitely far more entertaining than the abyssmal efforts — fro m "Stripes" to "Bachelor Party" - that have ridden on the coattails of its success. The film will be shown for free admission on the Union Pad at dusk. Bring your own lawn chairs.
