Fortunately,
Plan

is now available
for
students
at the University
of
Wisconsin
-
Parkside,
Sandra
Leicht,
the Nurse
Practitioner
at the
Student
Health
and
Counseling
Center
(SHCC),
took the initiative
to make
sure students
at UW-Parkside
had the chance
to get Plan
B.
Students
had been
asking
for the
pili to be at UW-Parkside
and
Leicht
obliged
them
by adding
Itto tbe list of over-the-counter
medications
tbat
the
SHCC
orders.
It
will

$35
togetPlan

at the SHCC
but, as

knows
it
is cheaper

or HIY.
"Plan
B"
Leicht
said,
"Is most
effective
when
taken
as
soon
as
possible
after
unprotected
vaginal
intercourse."
Plan
B
works
by giving
the
body
a short,
high,
burst
of
a synthetic
hormone
(Levonorgestrel,
a
hormone
used
in birth
controJ
pulls
for over
35
years),
which
disrupts
hormone
patterns
needed
for pregnancy.
Plan
B may
be effective
up to
12!l
hours
(5
days)
after
intercourse,
but it is most
effective
within
the first
24 hours.
Plan
Bean
reduce
the risk
of pregnancy
by
75-89%.
Leicht
says
that
Plan
B
should
not be used
as regular
birth
control,
and
she adds
that
other
birth control
methods
are
much
better
at keeping
a woman
from becoming
pregnant.
Students
can go to the SHCC
and meet with
a
nurse or the nurse
practitioner
where
everything
is
strictly
confidential.
The nurse
will
ask
a
few questions
to make.
sure that the girl is not allergic
to
the medication
and to
make
sure
they need
the
medication.
Leicht
says
that
students
should
consider
certain
things
before
they
go to the SHCC
ro
obtain
Plan B or for any visit a
student
might
make,
She
said
that students
should
write down
any questions
they
have
in
advance,
to prevent
forgotten
questions.
Leicht
also said that
students
should
feeJ
free to take
notes
during
their
visit.
She
explained
that students
shouldn't
be afraid
to speak
up;
"If
you
don't
understand
something,
ask to have it explained
again.
Ask
all the questions
you
need
to and
don't
leave
without
understanding
everything
you have
been
told."
Leicht
stressed
that students
should
be
honest
about
themselves,
and
said
that
students
shouldn't
be
embarrassed
to describe
their
symptoms.
health
and
sexual
history.
"For
when
students
are truthful,"
Leicht
said.
"they
can
get
the
proper
care
that
they
need."
Leicht
suggested
students
should
provide
a list of
their
medications;
tbis includes
prescription
drugs,
over-the-
counter
medications.
vitamins.
herbal
remedies
and
other
supplements.
Lastly,
Leicht
said
that
students
should
feel free
to
bring
someone
with
them when
they
visit
SHCC.
If the student
needs
moral
support
or if it helps
the
student
to relax;
they
should
ask a partner,
friend
or a family
member
to go with
them.
He or
she can also remind
the student
of questions
to ask and can help
the student
remember
what
was
said.

I think
for the most
part,
we're
doing
well
this semester.
We've
managed
to come
up
with
a handful
of news
stories
for each
issue
(sometimes
less is
more-take
this week's
issue,
for
example),
have
a steady
stream
of arts
and

pieces,

page,
and
several
other
improvements

avorite,
though,
has
to be the sudden
influx
of
new
members.
At our Sept.
26th
meeting,
we had over 20 people
in
the office!
That's
almost
everyone
on staff,
and knowing
that totally
made
my day. The only
downside
to this is that we may
have
to
change
the meeting
space.
since
we all barely
fit in the office
...hut
we'lJ
jump
that hurdle
when
we
get to it. Right
now,
I
am happy
to
have
so many
staff
to help lighten
the workload.
Unfortunately,
with
the
good
must
come
the bad.
We've
discovered'
that
we can't
open
Microsoft's
new
file extension.

".docx'',
which
has caused
us
problems
on more
than
one
- occasion.
Unrelated,
but
still
unfortunate:
I've
noticed
that
people
have
begun
to "advertise"
their
events
on
our newsstands
by
leaving
a stack
of
fliers
next
to
the newspaper,
or even
replacing
the
newspapers
with
their
fliers.
This
is the part
where
I
play
"newspaper
police"
and
remind
everyone:
Our
news
tands
are
NOT
a pnblic
display
board,
and should
not be used
as such.
The Ranger
News
and the other
little
"freebie"
papers
are the
ONLY
papers
that
belong
on
those
newsstands.
If you'd
like to
advertise
with
us, please
contact
Gia or Zak (find
their
emails
in
the staff
list on your
left).
Along
these
lines,
I've gotten
a few emails
from
students
wbo
wish
to have
articles
published
in The Ranger
News.
I'm going
to remind
everyone
that
opinions
should
follow
ALL
the opinion
guidelines.

AdJOurnment
I have
a passion
for politics
and vote
in every
single
election
and primary,
whether
it is a national
presidential
election
or a local
election
for
the city council
or school
board.
Sometimes
the media
does
not do a good
enough
job of providing
information
about
local
issues
and
elections,
but there
are so many
nonpartisan,
credible
sources
for information
on national
issues
and elections
that
I find
it impossible
to
understand
why
people
would
NOT
vote.
We live in a democracy,
in which
our country's
direction
and the policies
pursued
by our leaders
are determined
by our choices.
These
choices
touch
every
single
aspect
of our lives:
how
we educate
our children;
how
we take
care
ofthe
old, the poor,
and the disabled;
how
we keep
our country
secure
and safe;
how
we save
for the future;
how
we take
care
of the environment
we live in; how
we pay for our health
care;
and how
we compete
for jobs
and resources
in the global
marketplace.
The only
way
to
empower
yourself
in a democracy
is to exercise
your
right
as a citizen:
in the voting
booth,
you get to choose.

UW Svstem hears local ideas on state job growth
UW-Parkside Chancellor Jack Keating
talks with business and development
leaders about Wisconsin's economic
future dlhing Listening Session.
ApplV to

Oct. 21
You've heard the old expression a
thousand times: The job isn't finished
until the paper work is done. If you
plan to graduate in.December, you
need to get the paper work done now.
In order to take part in Winter Commencement,
which will be held Dec.
17, at 2 p.m. in the De Simone Cynasium,
you must apply at Student
Records by tomorrow, Friday, Oct. 27,
2000.
Student Records is located in Wyllie
Hall room 0187. There is a $25 fee.
This includes a degree audit, your
official transcript, diploma, and
diploma cover. No applications for
the December commencement will be
accepted past this deadline.
So remember: finish the job by getting
the paperwork done, Apply for
graduation by tomorrow, Friday, Oct.
27,2000.
When you graduate, where in the
country do you want to work? If you
start a business,wherewill itbe located?
Your answers to these questions are
vitally important to the state's future,
Getting you to answer "Wisconsin" to
both questions was one reason for
Tuesday's "Listening Session" at the
Sports and Activity Center. Opinions
expressed by business people and
development officials at this and other
meetings around the state will help set
the agenda for next month's Economic
Summit in Milwaukee. The UW System
is a major sponsor of the summit.
College graduates leaving Wisconsinthe
state's "brain drain"-is a problem.
The state's population trends show the
severity of this problem.
"In 1997,Wisconsin's ranking for 'in
migration: the number of people coming
to live here, was 50th m the United
States:' Keating said. "And our 'out
migration: people leaving the state,
was in the top quarter" (seventh of
fifty).
Venture capital, money raised to
finance business start-ups and
growth, is another area of concern, as
is education.
Debbie [ossart of Racine said education
providers need to be move faster
to meet the changing needs of
students and business.
"Schools need to be more flexible to
reactto the skillsbusinessneeds:' [ossart
said. "We need more internships and'
practical experience so students make
a connection with area businesses and
want to stay here."
Along with the brain drain and a lack
capital, a lack of entrepreneurial spirit
is hurting Wisconsin. In the eyes of
one observer, finding and funding
these future business people should
be a priority.
"We need to identify young entrepreneurs
and encourage them early on,"
said Mark Mundi of Racine's Workforce
Development Center. "And we
need to create venture capital pools and
business incubators to help them get
their ideas off the ground."
Some of the opinions expressed at
Tuesday's listening session are likely to
serve as topics for the Summit, Nov. 29
to Dec. 1 at Milwaukee's Midwest
Express Center.' That three-day frogram
will examine key portions 0 the
state's economy with an emphasis on
the creation of quality jobs, generation
of investment capital, workforce education,
and the enhancement of Wisconsin's
image as a technology and job
growth leader.
The state's success in reaching these
goals is likely to have a direct impact on
the future of many UW-Parkside students.
A Different Voice
How much does it cost to voteP
By Carol Tebben, Associate Professor of Political Science
On a golden Virginia morning in the
autumn of 1952,a diminutive woman
with graying hair (we will call her
Claire Umbrey) awoke earlier than
usual. It was Election Day, and she
planned to walk the extra three miles
necessary on her way to work to cast
her vote for president of the United
States. It was all because of her son
Harvey. Although her salary as a
domestic was minimal, wages were
crucial to Claire in those days. She had
been supporting .her family since her
husband was seriously injured at work.
When Claire arrived at the rural
schoolhouse set up with makeshift
voting booths, it had not yet opened for
voting. She was able to catch her
, breath before the door was finally
opened to her and the others who were
waiting. "That'll be a dollar to vote,"
insisted the man from neighboring Jefferson
County who was assigned to
run the polls that day. Poll taxes were
used by states at that time, particularly
in the South, as a blatant attempt to
limit the African-American vote.
Claire did not have a dollar to spare
topaythetax, but patientlyexplainedthat
her son, Harvey, had fought in war a
few years back, and that he had been
shot in the back by enemy fire while
rescuinga fellowsoldierwounded in the
leg. Harvey had spent almost three
weeks under intensive medical care .
and in extreme pain before he died.
She didn't know what happened to
the soldier he had tried to save. "Harvey
loved the general, and 1 want to
vote for him." Unmoved, the bureaucrat
responded, "No dollar, no vote."
Effectively stripped of her constitutional
right to vote as a citizen of the
United States, Claire understood the
importance of that dollar tax, and of
the state policy behind it. It would be
12more years before poll taxes in federal
elections were forbidden by the
24th Amendment and 14 years before
poll taxes in state elections were
declared a violation of the Equal Protection
Clause of the 14th Amendment,
As the Court explained in the
Harper case (1966),"The right of suffrage
is a fundamental matter in a free
and democratic society....The right to
exercise the franchise in a free and
unimpaired manner is preservative of
other basic civil and political rights ... "
No longer can our right to vote be
predicated upon the payment of a tax.
Claire recognized something even
more significant that day than the
negative effects of the poll tax. The
cost of her vote was more than the
dollar she was charged to prevent her
from voting, and again, it was all
because of Harvey. She understood
then what many of us are still learning
today. The cost of our vote has been
paid by the blood of people like her
son, Harvey .Umbrey, smce the time
this country declared its independence.
Is it that difficult for us to take
a few moments from a life of convenience
to vote a good person into
office,when someone else has already
paid the price?

UW-Parkside sponsors Controlling Community Violence program
By Lisa Whitcomb
This past July, UW-Parkside's
Criminal Justice Department assumed
the role of sponsor for the Controlling
Community Violence Program (CCV).
The program was initially created ten
years ago at the request of a Racine
County judge, and is under the direction
of Doris LaBrasca.
Racine and Kenosha county offenders,
who have been convicted of domestic
violations, battery, disorderly conduct,
and criminal damage, are referred to
the CCV program as an important alternative
to imprisonment.
The program is held every third Saturday
of the month at a location that is off
campus.
The success of this program is reflected
in the positive feedback from those

The Office of Multicultural Student

The focuses of ARU are to provide an
on-going introduction and orientation
to the University and commuruty.: to
help students develop a sense of
belonging and ownership, and to
increase students self-esteem and selfconfidence.

Lose something?
Sooner or later-for most of us, it's
sooner-c-everyone loses something. If
you misplace an item while on campus,
the first place to look is the lost and
found. .
Didn't know the University had one?
Well, you've found something important
already.
Found items are turned in to the Information
Center in the UW-Parkside
Union Bazaar. Valuable things like wallets,
purses, arid the like are immediately
sent to the University Police in
Tallent Hall.
So remember: if you lose something
stop by the Information Center lost and

The intention of the program is to
teach offenders how to handle, and
deal with conflict before it escalates to
abuse.
According to Doris LaBrasca, the
program director, abuse can be "mental,
emotional, and physical. Usually
all of these levels of violence are interconnected,"
she said.
The offenders learn how to identify
their anger, fear, or controlling behaviors,
and then they learn how to
release these things through selfempowerment
and inner clarity,
which gives the offenders a new perspective
on life and relationships.

before. Previously, the program
teamed students up with faculty
members. .
"1 wanted a peer mentoring program"
says Johnson.
Due to high demand for mentors,
however, some students this semester
will be paired with. a faculty or staff
member. ARU is actively searching
for upper classmen to join as mentors.
Mentors and mentees are expected to
meet at least twice a month and to
keep in close contact with each other.
Suggested activities for mentors and
mentees are to attend a program that
relates to a common area of interest, to
attend sporting or theatrical events, to
discuss a book or rent videos, to write
a resume, or to surf the net together.
These meetings are to be both entertaining
and educational.
The ARU program will also be taking
trips as a group. Tentative ideas for
After attending the program, men
and women are more aware of their
behaviors, become more responsible,
and make better choices in their lives.
There is a shift in the way people handle
conflicts in their lives after attending
the program. Often LaBrasca sees
"drastic Changes in attitude and energy."
LaBrasca points out, "Controlling
community violence comes down to
the individual. 1 help -the individual
become more aware, get healing, and
learn techniques about communication.
These people are just human
beings that are ship wrecked. They
have gol to get in touch with boundaries,
get in touch with how to handle
themselves, and learn how to communicate.
It's all about healing and maktrips

Milwaukee, and Chicago, the Holiday
Folk Fair in Milwaukee, the Martin
Luther King celebration on campus,
and an end-of-the-year picnic. .
The ARU program is also seeking to
give juniors and seniors an opportunity
to have an alumni member mentor
them as they prepare to leave college
and search for a job. Beginning January .
2001, students of color and alumni of
color will be able to participate in the
program. In addition, students on campus
will go to local high schools and
participate as Big Brothers and Big
Sisters to high school students preparing
for college.
Although the primary focus of ARU is
for students of color, it is not limited to
them.
. "All ofour services are <;pen to allstudents.
We won't discriminate says Johnson.
Mentors and mentees of non-minority
status are encouraged to apply.

Parkside's Accreditation UP rorrenewal
By Gina Garda
On Wednesday Oct. 11, John Taylor,
an associate director on the Evaluation
Services Staff for the North Central
Association (NCA), visited OW-Parkside.
He met with faculty and staff in
Greenquist 103 to explain the accreditation
process.
The NCA is a non-governmental
accreditation organization located in
Chicago' serving 19 states. They are
one of .six agencies in the nation and
have 997 institutions on their commission.
Taylor is the staff liaison for the
campus and will assist and guide the
University throughout the process.
To be an accredited institution, OWParkside
must prove, through the
accreditation process, that the university
meets general institution requirements
and specific criteria set by the
NCA.
By June 2002, UW-Parkside must put
together a Self-Study 'Report. This
report will show that the university
meets 24 general .requirements that
involve governancet authorization,
UW-Parkside's mission, faculty, educational
'programs, finances, public
information,andadvertising. Inadd~
tion, the university must show that it
meets five criteria for accreditation.
These criteria include a clear mission,
adequate resources, programs and services
planning, and integrity.
UW-Parkside's completed report will
then be given to a team of Consultant
Evaluators, peers. who are faculty
members and instructors at other
accredited institutions. This team will
read the report and visit Parkside in
early Oct. 2002.
They will spend three days on campus
asking questions and verifying
statements the university has made.
After the visit, the team will write their
own report.
Before both reports are submitted,
UW-Parkside will have the opportunity
to refute any statements made by the
team in a formal written response.
Next, two committees, the Accreditation
Review Council (ARC) and the
Institutional Actions Council (lAC),
will review the reports and accrediting
decisions will be made.
Finally, 17 members on the NCA's
Board ofTrustees will validate the decision.
The process will be complete in the
Spring of 2003.
Questions about the accreditation
process can answered either on the
NCA's website, www.ncacihe.org or by
Larry Deutsch, the coordinator of SelfStudy
for UW-Parkside's accreditation,
at ext. 2483.

Undergraduate Research Funded at UW-'
By Lisa Whitcomb
This fall marks the third semester that
the UW-Parkside College of Arts and
Sciences has awarded funds for the
Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship
Program.
According to Dean Donald Cress,
"Many faculty and academic staff have
been conducting their research in collaboration
with undergraduate students
for several years. However, this
has taken place without tangible institutional
support and without formal
recognition of the students involved in
these research projects."
Now, the University has made fund- /
ing for research available. A $450
stipend can be applied to any research
project which has passed a review
board's approval. $100of support goes
to the sponsoring faculty member, so
they can assist the student with
research materials like books, comput-.
er software, or travel costs incurred by
the student to present a paper on the
research. The remaining $350 stipend
is awarded the student involved with
the collaborative.research project.
Proposed projects have to be consistent
with the faculty member and student's
academic area of study, and
must be mutually agreed upon by the
faculty member sponsoring the project
and the student who has been asked by
the faculty member to take on the project.
.
"The idea is that students are not just
photocopying, or doing scud work. But
that this is a serious partnership
[between the faculty member and the
student] and a real research project,"
Cress said.
A brief form must be completed for
each project the semester prior to the
one in which the research will actually
be conducted. The Board looks for a
technical description of the project,
how it will relate to the faculty member's
previous creative/ scholarly activity,
the nature of the student's involvement,
how it will advance the student's
learning, the creative/. scholarly field,
and the faculty member's own research
program. At the end of each project, the
student must disseminate the results of
and Sciences. Cress said he would like
to see more people from the social sci
ences and humanities involved with
this. Areas like biology have been c,?n
ducting collaborative research with
students for years, but humanities and
social sciences primarily conduct
research in a solitary manor.
Cress reiterated, "It's a project that has
considerable value because it provides
an opportunity for students to see from
the inside what research is like, and
what it is that faculty do when they
conduct research. Also, [students can
learn] why faculty members fall in love
with their area of study."
Students and faculty members alike
are encouraged to take advantage of
the opportuni!)' to research their ideas
with the fundmg and support of the .
University. Cress advises that opportunities,
such as conducting research and
writing a scholarly dissemination, look
good on a student's resume, and it's a
wonderful chance for students to present
their work at the state level.
the project with a final paper or article.
Cress adds, "Part of dissemination is
for the students to get their work out
and have others conunent on it, or correct
it.".
Dr. Carmel Ruffolo of Biology has
applied for project funds four times
already and said she appreciates the
awards. She thanked Cress for his continued
assistance with student research
projects.
"1 reallr support the Dean's initiative
and wil continue to apply for the
awards as long as they are available,"
said Dr. Ruffolo.
She emphasizes many students are,
"Qualified and deserve to have an
opportunity to carry out research in an
active research environment. They are
good students academically and they
are keen to get involved in research
projects. It is great that we are getting
these students into the lab to have
hands-on experience. Research looks
good on a resume."
The research awards are available to
every department in the College of Arts

UW' prof. secures $400,000 research grant
By Julie Thompson
There's much excitement in the Psychology
Department this semester over
Professor Sylvia Beyer's recent acquisition
of a $428,000grant from the National
ScienceFoundation to study why students
choose to go into the computer science
field, Professor Susan Haller, from the
Computer Science department, will
serve as co-investigator for the project
and is involved in most of the research,
When asked why she chose this particular
area of science, Professor Beyer
said, "The government is very much
concerned about the shortage of computer
scientists, There aren't enough
programmers and they keep changing
Jobs every six months because they're
getting better offers from competing
firms. So, it's a ma/'or issue and they're
now flying in peop e from other parts of
the world to fill the f,0sitions."
Also, women aren t majoring in computer
science and Professor Beyer
would like to find out why. UW-Parkside's
male to female ratio for Computer
Science majors is currently stands at 41
Volunteer
to 25, respectively, ' Opportunities
The study, which will take place over
a three-year period, will involve UWParkside
students exclusively, and on
multiple levels. The research will
involve two studies taking place concurrently.
The first study will be
aimed at all incoming freshman for
one year. They will be asked to answer
a lengthy series of questions and will
be followed up every semester for
three years. The second study will
involve students who are taking a
computer science course at UWParkside.
"I don't want to just focus on computer
science majors, but even people
who are showing just a little bit of
interest, and are taking Computer Productivity
Tools and the web courses,
and then see if that's going to tum
them on to computer science or not,"
said Beyer. "Over the course of the
study, we will look at several thousand
students and they will be followed
up every semester."
In addition to contributing as study
subjects, students will have the chance
to participate in other areas of research
as well as the possibility to earn
money for their particiJ'a tion. Pro fessor
Beyer stated, A lot of people
will be hired to work on this project."
She will be hiring six research assistants
each semester, a project coordinator,
and a part-time transcriptionist.
Becausethe National ScienceFoundation
approved the grant quicker than
expected, Professor Beyer will be
teaching full-time this semester as'
well as working on the project. Afterwards,
she will have teaching release
time. Meaning she will be responsible
to teach three courses per year for
three years. .
During the course of the study, Professor
Beyer will submit yearly
progress reports to the NSF and upon
completion of the study, she will write
journal articles for publication as well
as a final report submitted to the Foundation.

UWP OIlers "ROckY Horror"
lor Halloween
By Lisa Whitcomb
This Halloween, UW-Parkside's Gay
and Lesbian Organization (GLO) is
sponsoring a night of fright-and funon
Friday, Oct. 27 at the lJnion Cinema
Theate~. They'll be showing the original
film of the "Rocky Horror Picture
Show" with a live cast.
, "Rocky Horror," starring Tim Curry,
was released in 1975 by 20th CenturyFox,
and has celebrated a steady following
of fans for the last 25 years. The
movie is a musical about two confused
middle-class American kids who are
confronted by the complications of the
decadent morality in the '70's.
The movie is a crazy mix of stereotypical
"good kids," characters from
science fiction movies, the comics, and
rock-n-roll. The movie treads a thin
line between homage and parody.
According to director Jim Sharman,
."The Rocky Horror Picture Show' has
its own story and can hold its own
whether you are a horror fan or not."
The pre-show begins at 11 p.m. and
the movie starts at midnight. Tickets
are sold at the door, and cost $5 for the
general public, $3 for students with !D.

Peer perfect in
weellend sweep
Mr. Zero. Dr. No. The Terminator. If
the UW-Parkside men's soccer season
went much longer, it would be easy to
run out of catchy names and splendid
superlatives to describe the play of
Thorn Peer, goaltender. Peer posted
shutouts number 12 and 13 over the
weekend as the Rangers ran through
Kentucky Wesleyan and Bellarmine colleges
on the way to the Great Lake Valley
Conference (GLVC) playoffs.
On Friday, Oct. 20, Peer's goaltending
took a back to the scoring of Jeff Hines.
Hines slammed home the Rangers' final
three goals as UW-Parkside opened up
a six pack of Whoop You-Know-What
in Owensboro and beat Kentucky Wesleyan
6-0.
Peer's work was a more important on
Sunday, Oct. 22. The Rangers mustered
just a single goal, this one by Adam
Chwala, and Peer made it stand up
backing stopping a 1-0 win over Bel~
larmme College. The Rangers finished
GLVC play at 7-4 and are 13-4 overallall
13 wins coming on shutouts by Mr.
Zero, ell Dr. No, aka, Thorn Peer.
The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside
Thorn Peer's 13 shutouts put UW-Pin'
good standing heading into GLVC
tournament play.
The Rangers finished as the No. 4
seed in the GLVC and will host a firstround
conference tournament game
against Northern Kentucky on
Wednesday, Nov. 1. The men close out
the regular season at home this Saturday,

UWP men's basketball:
Readv for thrilling season
By Dena Coady
"Tourney Time'tis the theme for the
2000-2001 UW-Parkside Rangers men's
basketball team. Tourney Time as the
Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC)
Tournament in Evansville, IN. This
year's team is hoping to make that happen.
The process to become a great team is
to start where the team left off last year.
For the Rangers that goal was to recruit.
According to Coach Rutter there was a
strong recruiting class for this year's team.
"Our goal was to find quality student
athletes who would blend in with the
returning players," said Rutter. He feels
that has been accomplished.
This year's team has five new players:
Dean Pogodzinski and Matt Griffin are
freshman and will play guard. The other
three new comers on the team are transfers:
Duane Dacres is a junior guard;
Kurt Flowers is a junior who will play
center; and Clay Lewkowski, another
junior who will play forward.
. "Each of these new players bring different
qualities, versatility, and athleticism
to the team" Rutter said. He added.
the team has a couple of conference
guards, a deep bench, and quality post
players returning.
The team also brings in two new assistant
coaches. Luke Reigel who attended
Wilmot High School. Reigel won the
state championship at Wilmot. His dad
was also the coach of the men's basketball
team at Wilmot years back. Reigel
went on to UW-Plattville where he
won two national championships ..
Jim Lindsey is a Kenosha native who
attended University of Indianapolis.
He played for the basketball team and
also coached there.
They replace Dave Williams who
was an assistant coach at UW-Parkside
for two years. Williams accepted
a position as "an assistant athletic
director at Parkside.
The Rangers had their first practice
Sunday, Oct. 15. Three points that
Coach Rutter and his staff wanted the
players to acknowledge were
• The abilityto compete and play hard:
• Regain confidenceand level play; and
• The ability to work well as a team
After the first practice, Rutter notice
the players battled well, were an
experienced group, and were very
hungry to take the next step.
"This group of young men has
grown and become confident of success
that they have deserved and I am
proud of them" said Coach Rutter.
First game the Rangers play is a exhibition
Thursday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. The
game is against the Coach Rudy's All
Stars. The All Stars is a combination of
ex-college players.
So, come out and cheer on the
Rangers. It should be a thrilling and
exciting season!

UWP women win conference meet
DeWitt top coach, Antonia top runner
Most coaches and athletes competing
in team sports will tell you team honors
come before personal triumph
every time. But in the case of the uwParkside
women's cross country, team
honors and personal triumph went
hand-in-hand this year.
UW-Parkside's Mike DeWitt has
been named Great Lakes Valley
Conference Coach of the Year.
That was the case for coach Mike
DeWitt. He was recently named Great
Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Coach
of the Year. That also was the case for
runner Amber Antonia who recently
was named the GLVC's Women's Cross
Country Runner of the Year.
The exclamation point was put on this
great season, Saturday when the
women's team won the conference
meet .at Evansville, IN. With Antonia
winning the race in a time of 21:52, the
team scored a 57, easily defeating host
Southern Indiana which finished with
76. Other top UW-Parkside finishers
were Erin Enright in seventh place with
a time of 22:43, and Janna Weeden in
10th with a time of 22:57.
In the men's race, UW-Parkside finished
a respectable fourth with 120
points. Indianapolis won with 36. Joe
Donnerbauer was the Ranger's best finishing
-in eighth place at 33:03. Davey
Place was number 12 to the finish line
with a time of 33:27.
The cross country teams now prepare
for the regional meet at Ashland, Ohio,
on Saturday, Nov. 4.
1-win, 1tie, 2 lelt for soccer women
Yes, the UW-Parkside women's soccer
team will be in the Great Lakes
Valley Conference tournament this
year. No, they don't know when,
where or whom they'll play but they
did plenty to help secure a higher seed
with a win and a tie last weekend.
On Friday, Oct. 20, Troy Fabiano's
team posted a 2-1 double overtime
victory at Kentucky Wesleyan. It was
a case of snatching victory from the
jaws of defeat because the Ranger
trailed 1-0 until Bryanna [urvis scored
with just seven minutes left in regulation.
Nicole Wenzel then bent the
twines to ice the win.
On Sunday, Oct. 22, Sara Bebe scored
for UW-Parkside but there were no
overtime heroics as the Rangers settled
for a 1-1 tie with Bellarmine College.
The weekend· games put UWParkside's
record at 5-4-1 in the GLVC
-and 9-4-2 overall. They plar a make-up
game With Southern Indiana at St.·
Joseph's College this Sunday, Oct. 29 to
determine positioning for the upcoming
GLVC tournament.
The Rangers conclude regular season
play at home Saturday, Oct. 28 starting
at 3 p.m. versus St. Cloud State. UWParkside
students are admitted to all
games free.

_ If you're one of the many people who
need glasses or contact lenses to see
~'tlearly, you might be surprised to learn
!;helatest developments in eye surgery
have made it possible for you to throw
away your contacts and give your
glasses away. Lasik eye surgery is one
. of the newest procedures available to
correct vision problems and countless
people have had success with Lasik.
During surgery, an anesthetic eye
~drop numbs the surface of the eye. The
surgeon then uses a special device to
cut a hinged flap of thin corneal tissue
off the outer layer of the eyeball
·(cornea) and the flap is lifted out of the
way. The laser reshapes the underlying
corneal tissue and the surgeon replaces
the flat' which quickly adheres to the
.eyebal . There are no stitches involved
and the procedure usually takes aboirt
10-15 minutes. A plastic or perforated
metal shield is placed over the eye to
protect the flap.
You may experience a mild burning
sensation for a few hours after surgery
and temporary blurred vision. For the
best possible vision some patients need
additional surgery called enhancements .
According to the American Academy
of Ophthalmology (AAO), seven out of
ten patients achieve 20/20 vision.
Good candidates for Lasik are those
who are at least 18 years of age, (21 in
some instances), have healthy eyes, in
good general health, and clearly understand
the risks and rewards of Lasik
surgery. Pregnant or nursing women
are not good candidates because these
conditions may change the measured
refraction of the eye. Inform your doctor
if you are taking certain prescription
drugs, have diabetes, rheumatoid

\ :.vour generation is the last to be born
naturally. Future generations will be

)the last to have athletes take external

Olympics, scientists will be able to
_ genetically enhance an athlete so .that
their body produces more hormones
·internally, and that cannot be detected
by tests. Why? Because there's a mar-
·ket for it."
That's quite a strong statement from
Richard Thieme. Thieme, as a former
~~gli~h professor at the University of
Illinois-Chicago and Episcopal priest,
wore many hats in his past. His col-
.umn, "Islands in the Clickstream," is
-read by subscribers in many countries.
He came to UW-Parkside on Oct. 5 as a
part of the Friends of the Library program.
"I try to describe the present. I'm not
·a futurist. To some, the present sounds
"like the future because they're 1, 2, or 3
.• tar-lengths behind the present."
I Thieme touched on the subject of
hackers and the world they pioneered and
.created.
"Hackers are searching for knowledge
and information. They explored a
world without boundaries. It's like
when Native Americans first lived on
this continent. They lived in a place and
once the resources were used, they
moved. They were unaware of imaginary
boundaries. The hackers built the
cyber-world and explored, for the
imaginary boundaries had not been in
place at that time."
Looking for the next breakthrough,
Thieme explored the futurist's vision
and possible places to look.
"It is now only possible to see five
years in the future where it was once
possible to see hundreds," Thieme
said. "There are three places to look
when you want to see the future: One
!s the military. Look at what they're
inventing-i-if you can find out about it.
The s~cond is what children are playmg
With. The third IS the sex industry.
That's where the money goes so they
have the funds to pour into new technology."

A different wav to trick-Dr-treat
By Lisa Whitcomb
Looking for something exciting and
different to do this Halloween? Maybe
you or your kids are tired of that old,
boring routine of going door-to-door
for some handouts? Then the Milwaukee
Public Museum has just the thing
you're looking for. Visitors have the
opportunity to experience trick-ortreating
on a global scale at the museum
Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 28 and 29.
Visitors can collect candy and trinkets
from all three floors, including the special
exhibit areas.
"We encourage anyone who has the
Halloween spmt to come m because it
is safe, old-fashioned fun," said Niki
Espy, Director of Educational Services
at the museum. Visitors can experience
how different cultures around the
world celebrate a primarily religious
holiday, which has become a commercial
successin the US.
Other activities include scary Halloween
films such as "Frankenstein"
(1910), "The Phantom of the Opera;'
and "Nosferatu'' (1922), as well as balloon
tying and face painting.
Espy points out, "Our Halloween
Hauntings are a great way to explore
the different cultural representations of
this holiday, and how others' cultural
customs have influenced, or blended
with our customs. At the same time,
visitors can see all of our special
exhibits, including the African Kurnbaruba
ritual mask, while they enjoy
eating some free candy."
This is a great activity for any age, so
no one needs to go alone because you
can bring anyone along to partake in
the festivities. Admission to the museum
is $6.50 for adults, $5 for seniors (60+)
and $4 for children (4-17). Call the

Parking permit
thefts
By
Jason Kluzak
Ranger News Reporter
The little tags students hang
from their rearview mirror allow
them to park on University of
Wisconsin-Parkside property
without being penalized.
But so far this year, seven
. parking permits have been stolen,
as opposed to a total of twelve
last year.
A majority of these incidents
take place every year in the
beginning of the semester, at any
time of day, but normally in the
warmer months. The types of
stolen permits range from one
and two semester penn its, to
housing and general parking per-
mits .
Robert Deane, Chief of
University Police, says that park-
ing permit thefts are, "not a real
problem," but University police
are still keeping tabs on stolen
permits.
Deane said the University
police department keeps a list of
stolen permits and actively looks
for them. Deane said that in the
two years he has been with the
Department, four or five have
been recovered.
A standard one semester, 12
credit hour permit will cost a stu-
dent $43. Ifthe permit is stolen,
the student must then pay that
amount again to replace the
stolen permit, along with any
other citations given for failing
to display a parking permit. This
could end up costing the student
-
close to a hundred dollars.
\Vben apprehended, the
permit thief will be fined $25
and will be dealt with by the
Dean of Students independently
of the University police depart-
ment, said Deane.

of that duty and others to the
new bicycle patrol program on

The program began back in
June, according to UW-Parkside
Police Chief Robert Deane. He
said the department uses bicy-
cles to patrol the parking lots
and various trails around cam-
pus, along with soccer games
and cross-country events.
"It's nice to have because
it
(the bicycle) can go where the
cars can't,"
explained Deane.
He also said the police depart,
ment will continue implement-

Deane said that eventually
the police department would like
to have all of its officers trained.
The bicycle currently being
used for patrol was donated by

It
is a

Steven Mcl.aughlin, dean of

mass transportation issue further
at this week's PSGA meeting.
Visitors Parking
Besides the bus issue, ways to
improve visitors parking was dis-
cussed. "We are visitor unfriend-
ly," explained Jacobsen. A possi-
ble $30 parking fee paid by each
individual student could help to
e1eviate the hassle of purchasing
a $73 annual parking permit each
academic year, and also eliminate
meter usage for visitors, said
Jacobsen.
Food Court Expansion
The last item on the agenda
at the Oct. 4 meeting was discus-
sion of the Food Court, slated to
open at the beginning of Spring
1997 semester. PSGA, along with
the UW-Parkside Adult Student
Alliance (PASA), and the Ranger
News will re-locate their offices.
The new PSGA office will allow
access to wire in two computers
for Internet access, and the over-
all space will be slightly bigger.
Construction will begin on
Dec. 18 and is scheduled
to
be
completed by the end of January.
By that time, all of the offices
will be in their new locations.
PASA will be forced to move
sooner because of the interim
Coffee Shoppe,
Leadership House, housing six
female students.
At the Oct. 4 meeting, seven
members of PSGA signed up for
committees dealing with:
Legislative, Student Affairs,
Social Issues, Constitutional
Ballot, Academic Student Affairs,
and several others.
"If you're part of the PSGA,
you have to serve on two com-
mittees. It's a must - if you don't,
you're gone," said Weniger.
Weniger reminded students
of vacancies on the Election
Committee, advising those who
are not running for the election to
take part. "It is part of your
Senatorial duties to serve on the
Election Committee," he said.
Mass Transportation Surveys
Besides the "Get Out the Vote"
campaign, the mass transporation
surveys were discussed. UW-
Parks ide students are being asked
to complete multiple choice sur-
veys about their usage of the
Kenosha and Racine bus services.
Additional attempts at circulating
the surveys were made by con-
tacting professors and asking
them to distribute in class.
Several professors refused.to
comply with the surveys, arguing
that it would consume class time.
Students' imput is great-
ly appreciated because "if we
keep the bus service, it's going to
come out of [students'] segregat-
ed fees," Jacobsen said. A forum

Charter.
In 1950, the United Nations condemned
North Korea for attacking
South Korea. The UN had asked
both sides to hold elections to reunify
Korea, but this advice was not
heeded. The three-year war that
followed was indecisive and did not
result in reunification of the country.

how much of a role did the UN play
in its resolution?

Kim Acker was awarded a grant of
$3100 by the National Science
Foundation to assist Professor Lillian
Trager with analyzing research.
This grant promotes students
majoring in sociology-anthropology to
receive experience as an undergraduate
analyzing collected data. Trager,
the Director ofInternational Studies,
stated, "The purpose of this is to
encourage undergraduates to get
involved in research."
Acker has been assisting Trager
with her Yoruba research since last
summer and finds it very interesting.
"It is very important to me that I will
be able to apply my course work to
this experience," stated Acker. "I feel
it is valuable to get hands on experience

Twenty-three Latinos Unidos
members, along with 2 advisors,
attended the 13th ann ual
United States Hispanic
Leadership Conference October
6th and 7th in downtown
Chicago.
"1'bis is the worst year for
Latinos because of affirmative
action, bilingual education,
language rights, and civil
rights. It's been under attack,"
ssid Anthony Flores, Latinos
Unidos president.
Last year, the VicePresident
of the United States
was at the conference. This
year, unfortunately, he was
not. Some of this year's speakers
included Jimmy Cabrera,
the Honorable Luis Gutierrez
(1).ll.l, Dr. Samuel Betances
(professor of Sociology at
Northeastern University), and
the Honorable Nilsa Cruzperez
(New Jersey General
Assembly). Cabrera spoke at
Parkside last year.
Workshops keyed in on five
areas: Empowerment,
Community, Diversity, Pride,
and Unity. In a Community
workshop, Tina Anchondo, a
Parkside student, listened to
Cruz-Perez discuss voter's
rights, as a lot of Latinos are
concerned and don't know
what their rights are. "She gave
me some ideas on how I can
get my mom to vote," said
Anchondo. Anchondo has been
trying to convince her mother
to register for some time now.
Flores was impressed with
Gutierrez and said,"We're try109
to get him on campus. He's
an excellent speaker!"
Gutierrez is a member of
Congress in the House of
Representatives. Flores also
highlighted speaker Juan
Torres, a Parkside student and
member of Kenosha school
board.
College fairs and federal
agencies for employment were
on hand to speak with highschool
students, college students,
and community members.
This year, over 4000 people
were estimated to have
attended the conference.
Latinos from UWWhitewater,
UW-Milwaukee,
UW-Eau Claire, and UWMadison
met with Parkside
students at the conference.
They seemed to be in mutual
agreement to have a coalition
in Milwaukee this November,
to discuss issues raised at the
conference.
Other topics at the conference
were "Summit of the
Americas," "Contract with
America," "Issues for Action," .,

What do Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton,
and Ted Nugent have in common? All
three went deaf just for fun.
Pete Townshend of The Who, famous for
loudly smashing his guitars to bits for concert
finales, gave Hearing Education and
Awareness for Rockers (H.E.AR.) a
$10,000 donation after announcing his
hearing damage due to loud music.
Townshend said, "The real reason that I
haven't performed live for a long time is
that Ihave very severe hearing damage.
It's manifested itself as tinnitus, ringing in
the ears at the frequencies that I play the
guitar. It's very, very difficult for me to
work at music. '!
Eric Clapton says that one of his ears is
at least half deaf. "When I'm onstage, I
have to stand a certain way to be able to
hear everything. Otherwise, Ican only
hear half of what's going on."
And Ted Nugent admits, "My left ear is
there just to balance my face, because it
doesn't work at all."
H.E.AR. is a non-profit organization
with international affiliates. Kathy Peck, a
singer and bass player who suffered a
forty percent hearing loss in one ear,
founded H.E.A.R. with Dr. Flash Gordon
in 1988 after both attended an excessively
loud concert at a local club.
Some of H.E.AR.'s newest supporters
are the rock groups Primus, Faith No
More, Spinal Tap, and The Doors. A
H.E.AR. video documentary features Pete
Townshend, Todd Rundgren, Ray Charles,
Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead, the
late Bill Grabam, Ted Nugent, Huey
Lewis, and Metallica drummer Lars
Ulrich who said, "Don't give me this stuff
that you're a wimp if you put earplugs in,
because I think you're a bigger idiot if you
end up walking around not being able to
hear what your friends are saying, or not
being able to hear tbe next Metallica
album."
Musicians onstage are not the only ones
Kathy Peck
at risk. Cary Tennis joked in EQ: The
Creative Recording Magazine, "Since I
earn part of my living as a music critic,
the fact that I have hearing damage probably
doesn't surprise some people, who no
doubt assumed I was deaf all along."
. There are over 125 types of hearing protectors
on the market today. Some fulfill
the need to hear accurately. Some satisfy
fashion preferences. Westone Laboratories,
Inc. designed Musician's Earplugs so the
fidelity of the original sound is preserved
and the world does not sound muffled.
Earplugs are now available from
California, called Earshades, in 20 colors.
They are decorated with jewels, stones and
feathers. Kathy Peck says, "Rock 'n' roll is
like any other sport. You wear your protective
gear. Think of them as being like sunglasses
for our ears."
Some artists feel their fans should not
have to bother witb plugs. Huey Lewis
says, "Part of the power ritual at a live
show is volume. But it should be monitored,
out of concern for the audience."
Neil Peart of Rush says of acts wearing
earplugs, "I think it's a stupid thing. If
YOU'RE not going to accept (the volume
level), why should you bludgeon your audience
with it? If you need (earplugs) to get
through a performance, then maybe the
music is too loud."

National Coming Out Day
• Kristine Hansen
Staff Writer
The Gay and Lesbian
Organization (GLO) at ..
Parkside wanted to be "vISIble"
during homecoming
week. October 11 was
National Coming Out Day,
celebrated worldwide, in
which the gay, lesbian, and
bisexual community urges
those in the "closet" to
declare who they are. .
Hot pink flyers and stickers
with an upside-down hot
pink triangle on a black
background were distributed
on campus by GLO
members.
The Women's Center
passed out the flyers in conjunction
with their bake
sale on October 11, sbowing
support.
The flyers explained
National Coming Out Day
as "a support system for
those who feel, for whatever
reason, that it is unsafe to
leave their 'closet. m If one
supported the hidden gay
and lesbian community s/he
was asked to wear the
inverted triangle sticker
proudly.
GLO is sponsoring a
dance at Parkside on
October 20, open to
Parkside students and the
community. One must be
18 to enter the door and 21
to purchase alcohol at the
dance. In the past, area
high schoolers have flocked
to the dance, as there are
few places they can openly
express their sexuality.
Parkside's own Kimberly
Blanchette will star in
"Outloud," a comedy and
poetry reading, on October
25 in Union Cinema.
Blanchette, a GLO member,
is both a professional comedian
and nationally published
poet.
Blanchette was elected

Volunteer of the Week
David Fleury
Students are selected as
Volunteers of the Week by
their altruistic attitudes, the
amount of time shared within
the community and the positive
impact their service has

.enthusiasm. He works accurately
and with little or no
supervision. He is an asset to
the library and the students
he works with."
David has been given
opportunities to teach lessons
in reading and math, and he
appreciates the confidence
the teachers have in him. "I
feel very comfortable working
with LD children," David
said, "as it has helped me
expand my abilities to work
with all kinds of children.
The library experience has
made me aware of how
important it is as a research
tool." .
Thanks, David, for going

Area hospitals forced to

released the KR
(Kenosha-Racine)
Imaging Building to be
used at the discretion of
UW-Parkside. The contract
stated that, "upon
vacating the premises,
the structure either be
terminated or donated to
Parkside," said Assistant
Chancellor, G. Gary
Grace.
The structure. built in
1989. is designed as a
medical facility and is
located on the east end of
the Parkside campus
behind Tallent Hall.
Mter the building was
vacated this past spring.
Parkside officials hosted

and departments
on campus to present proposals
for the use of the

Police Chief Robert
Deane said, "We have no
safe holding room for
prisoners, no meeting

prisoners, and no interrogation
room. We were
recently asked to hold a
sexual advocacy program
and we cannot do that
because we have no room
for a crowd. We need
more storage space and

to try to get the building
and share the space with

Vice President of Loans

quoted, "The planning
board didn't take any real

studied the proposal. but
no action was taken." Dr.
Streeter added, "the
rental space for commercial
enterprise was looked
into and was being
offered to any enterprise
in general."
Student Health

Student Health officials
are still undecided
whether they will use the

because of many concerns
by the Disability

A meeting is still being

the Disability Awareness

issue of KR, stated a
Parkside official.
Funding more
difficult to secure
In the current economic
situation, it is projected
that the Wisconsin State
funding will become more
difficult to secure. "The
state is granted a fixed
and limited budget from
the government. to deal
with maintenance and
rebuilding. or building of
various buildings," said
Grace. "Parkside's
chances of receiving the
estimated $250.000 from
the state to renovate the
current area. of Student

expanding upon the facility
within the Molinaro

not look good," stated
Grace.
Some "cons"concerning
the possible new location
are the balancing of clinical

of peer health educators,
events, activities
and programs; services to

"This Issue is a
Main Concern"
A suggestion made by a
student who wishes to
remain anonymous, stated,
"This issue is a main
concern especially for students
and disabled students
alike: location and
access to it. The Health
Services are mainly created
from student segregated

money. The student

Update on Voyager
ters. Yeah!
Also, Kim's naivete in the "pleasure
seeker" episode was shown to be reluctance,
rather than fear or ignorance,
by a show that featured a.n alternate
reality of Kim's life. In this reahty, he
was engaged to marry a beautiful
young cellist (maybe he met her at the
.Iuilliard"). As previously stated, any
guy, no matter how inexperie~ced,.
should realize when someone IS "hitting
on him." Thank those clever
Voyager producers for realizing that
Kim reacted "out of character" for a
young man, and for giving him a reason
to ignore the lovely "pleasure seeker"
woman last season.
Paris and Chakotay's characters
have been explored in several episodes
already. It's refreshing that ,",yager is
letting Paris' "bad side" (namely, his
womanizing) be "a cross that he has to
bear," rather than just your "run of the
mill expected behavior" for a Starfleet
, ,
officer. Score one for the women s
movement! It also is encouraging that
they are trying to show Chakotay in a
less restrained light. Last season,
Chakotay was almost the caricature of
a stoic, unemotional Indian. So, it's
good that the producers have recognized
that his character needs some
"bad points" to balance out his pluses.
Providing that Voyager doesn't only
have sixteen episodes again in the second
season, I'd say that it has done
just about everything right. Now, if
they'd only make Janeway stop
screaming, the show would be perfect.
oBarb Churchill
Staff Writer
The second season on Star Trek:
,",yager has been in full swing for
about two months now, so I thought
that I'd take another look at how it's
doing. Were any of the things I talked
about previously fixed, and IS the show
getting any better?
In a word, YES! Voyager is getting
better thanks to more character developme~t
of Tom Paris, Harry Kim, and
Chakotay. These characters were
largely ignored last se~son,but t~ey
have "gotten their due during this
season, and there are still m~nyshows
left. This is indeed encouragmg (as
Tuvok might say.)
The further "fleshing out" of Harry
Kim's character has been particularly
welcome. Last season, it was established
in the season opener
"Caretaker" that Kim was an accomplished
clarinetist that had studied at
the renowned Juilliard school. So, as a
clarinetist myself, it really rankled me
that he never was shown playing his

If Led Zeppelin had been born in
the gothic rock heyday of the eighties
and, if Robert Plant hadn't been kicked
so hard in the groin before becoming a
vocalist, the result would sound something
like Tea Party.
Celtic spiritualism, Indian instrumentation,
alternative style morbidity,
and philosophical lyrics mix to give
Edges of Twilight its signature sound.
The string work of Stuart Chatwood
and Jeff Martin is tight and professional
on the standard and bass and
guitar parts and even better on mandolin,
harpguitar, tabla, djembe and
harmonium. Jeff Burrows keeps the
discord of these instruments together
with an understated percussion serving
in the background as glue holding
things in place. And over it all there is
the voice of Martin, a mid-range vocal
that never quite hits the sub-sonic
lows of most goth singers but also
.never veers into the heavy metal
shriek it seems to threaten to.
Highlights of the CD are the opening
power chords of "Fire in the Head,"
a standard invitation to come into the
darkness to play, and the super-long
(6+ minutes) "Sister Awake," a showoff
piece in which Tea Party shows just
how-many instruments they can use
and styles they can touch in one song.
Lyrically, the band draws heavily on
spiritualism and Celtic poetry ("Does
the sun renounce it's kingdom! as the
shadows fall," from "Turn the Light
down Low" is a fairly typical line) that
sometimes has you wondering whether
they just finished a class in the works
ofYeats.
Nothing exactly new here, your
standard brooding, heavy, poetic, gothic
atmosphere. It's been done before,
The Doors, The Cult, sisters of Mercy,
but at least it is done well.

IRONICALLY; THE TIME TO START
SAVING FOR RETIREMENT IS WHEN IT WOKS
LIKE YOU CAN LEAST AFFORD IT.
C
an't afTord to save for retirement? The truth is.you
can't afford not to. Not when you realize that your
retirement can last 20 to 30 years or more. You'll want to
live at least as comfortably then as you do now. And that
takes planning.
By starting to save now, you can take advantage of tax
deferral and give your money time to compound and grow.
Consider this: Set aside just $100 each month beginning at
age 30 and you can accumulate over $172,1091}by the time
you reach age 65. But wait ten years and you'll have to
budget $219 each month to reach the same goal.
Even if you're not counting the years to retirement. you
can count on TIAA-CREF to help you build the future you
deserve-with flexible retirement and tax-deferred annuity
plans, a diverse portfolio of investment choices, and a
record of personal service that spans 75 years.
Over J.7 million people in education and research put
TlAA·CREF at the top of their list for retirement planning.

One Liberal's Opinion
• Barb Churchill
Ranger columnist
How many of you were surprised
hy Sen. Petak's (RRacine)sudden
flip-flopon the
stadium vote? None? You folks
must have been reading my
column from day one! Nice
going!
In case any of you missed it,
Petak decidedto change his
vote on the stadium issue from
NO (whichhe'd voted twice)to
YES, givingthe OKto a special
"stadium taxing district,"
which includes Racine County.
Racine County is one of the
few counties in-Wisconsin that
DOESNOTcurrently levy a
sales tax. The state senate's
action basically says, "We don't
care that you don"t levy a sales
tax. Start doingit for thisNOW."
But as previously stated in
this column, the constitutionality
of this raises grave doubts.
Number one, CAN the state
arbitrarily force a county to
levy a tax that it doesn't want?
Racine County residents are
adamant in their refusal to
field another tax. This was
reflected in the recent vote by
the RacineCounty Supervisory
Board, when they voted 28-0
against implementing a sales
tax, even if the state insisted.
Number two, the issue of the
special "stadium district" is a
problem.When only part ofthe
state has to pay for something,
should the state REALLYbe
involved?And if the state
demands that it IS involved,
perhaps the whole state,
rather than just part, should
have to pay for the stadium.
Otherwise, it probablyisn't
legal.
Lastly, forcing a county that
never has levied a sales tax to
suddenly start doingit will
probably cost more money than
the amount that state wants to
collect!Think about this one:
the infrastructure JUST ISN'T
THEREin Racine County,
because it doesn't have a sales
Observations
Taking a Walk
• C. J. Nelson
Ranger Columnist
Let's join John for a walk.
He has just finished jogging
on Kenosha's lakefront. He is
now walking back to his car,
which is parked in the
Kemper Center parking lot.
John is wearing a black and
silver sweat suit that has
seen better days. It has some
holes in it and is frayed, but
it is very comfortable. When
he works, John wears a suit
and tie which befits his position
as a human resources
manager at Snap-On. John is
not a small man-he stands
about 6' 5" and 240 pounds.
Walking down Third
Avenue, he notices that
behind him is a police cruiser.
The officer appears to be
watching John closely.John
is looking at one of the opulent
houses. John has noticed
some windows need repair.
The peace officer has
noticed that John is looking
at the house. He pulls up
and says, "Youwouldn't be
thinking of visiting that
house later tonight, would
you?"
"No, of course not," John
responds. "I just noticed that
a window frame needs to be
repaired."
"Right," states the officer.
"Youlook a little out of place
for this neighborhood. Why
don't you leave now while
there is no trouble?"
John says nothing and continues
to his car.
This is not the first time
John has encountered this
scenario. A couple months
ago, he was looking for a
house in the White Caps
development He was driving
his self-restored '67 Camaro.
He was stopped because his
car looked "out of place" and
told to leave.
John found'out that the
police officers have the right
tax. People would have to he
hired, just to "commence tax-
. ing." Forms would have to be
filledout delineating what's
being sold, so the tax can be
properly implemented.This
tax will be a logistical nightmare
for Racine County. By
forcing Racine County to levy
this tax, the state really did
"stick it to" us.
County residents can hope
that the Racine County
Supervisors will back up their
threat to file a lawsuit against
the state. The Supervisors
must "put their money where
their mouths are." Then perhaps
Racine Countywill stop
being the doormat for
Wisconsin's Senators.
AB for Senator Petak, perhaps
the hest thing that he can
do for himself is to resign. As
Racine County Board
Supervisor Dan Sharkozyput
it, "Fool me once, shame on
you. Fool me twice, shame on
me."
to stop him because of the
"Terry" rule. This rule allows
a officer to stop someone as
long as he can "articulate a
suspicion" when questioned.
John's friends in the police
tell him that racist attitudes
are prevalent on the force,
but nothing is ever done
about it.
Our walk with John is over.
What race is John? Should
he have been "Terry
stopped?" If John is an
African-American male, can
you understand why AfricanAmericans
may have a different
view of the police than
whites? Is this really the
kind of country you want?
Making sense out of it all:
The Great Racial Divide
• George Harris Jr.
Columnist
After fifteen months, the
"Trial of the Century" has
finally ended. The long
awaited verdict was reached
in less than five hours.
When the not guilty verdict
was read, there was celebration
and gnashing of teeth.
There is still debate over
whether the race card was
played during the trial.
I think the "Dream Team"
simply took advantage of
prosecution mistakes. The
prosecution hung their hat
on Det. Mark Fuhrman and
his testimony. Remember
the "Dream Team" didn't
invent the sloppy LAPD, the
inept criminologists or the
racist cops.
Some of the same people
who told us that we should
accept the verdict of the
Rodney King cops tell us we
shouldn't accept this one.
They go so far as to suggest
that black jurors couldn't or
wouldn't convict black
defendants. If that is the
case, they learned from the
white jurors in Simi Valley.
After all, they couldn't convict
the white cops who beat
up Rodney King.
Some have even questioned
the intelligence of
black people as jurors. This
offends me because they are
painting all blacks with the
same brush. People also forget
that the other three nonblack
jurors came up with
the same verdict.
The polarization of the
country has been orchestrated
by the media covering
this case. They showed us
the contrast between the
cheering African-Americans
and the somber disgusted
whites. They rarely showed
whites who agreed, or
blacks who disagreed with
the verdict.
In the end, we must live
with the verdict. It was rendered
fairly. We have to
believe the jurors when they
said race wasn't a factor.
I think that the aftermath
of the trial is a mirror
shown to the face of
America. We looked in that
mirror and saw the monster
of racism either staring us
in the face or lurking over
our shoulders. AfricanAmericans
are simply
reminded that we s.tilllive
in a racist society.
A Letter to CJ
C.J. Nelson, I find your
article offensive. Did you stop
and consider for a moment
that maybe O.J. didn't do it?
Or do you see "black" and
assume "killer?" It is absurd
to assume that Judge Ito,
Johnnie Cochran and the
jury are as racist as the ALL
white jury, judge and lawyers
that freed the killer of Emmit
Till.
Youlook at O.J. and
assume that he did it. That is
the same reason our police
departments, judicial system
and entire society has been
corrupt throughout history.
Did you stop and think that
the officers who investigated
the O.J. case think just like
you, assuming that he's
guilty, and perhaps even "fixing"
the evidence? Did you
stop and think ahout how
many black people don't have
the money to fight this
putrescent system and are in
jail? Did you stop and think
that maybe you're wrong? All
types of minorities have been
going to jail for years, not
because they're guilty, but
because racists never stop to
think!
This article fueled ignorance.
Every time that I
turned around I heard white
people saying, "They're just
going to let him walk?
Where's our riot?" The point
remains that we were not on
the jury, and we didn't hear
all the relevant evidence. You
assumed he was guilty the
night he went to jail. Now
you feel shocked and cheated
that O.J. has heen acquitted
.... How can that be?
Did you ever stop and think
that maybe an innocent man
has been in jail for more than
a year? Innocent blacks have
been going to jail for 462
years, long before America
became a nation. It is more
convenient for you to

the jury for their disbelief.
Also, as one juror said plaintively,
"The gloves didn't fit."
This keystone bit of evidence
was woefully lacking, because
it would've been child's play for
Darden or Clark to check out
whether the gloves fit OJ!
Ah, but what about the DNA

enough? Well, maybe, but
the jurors aren't rocket scientists.
They are just people. The

like a Swiss cheese after it's

right to put aside the DNA evidence,
because too much of the
rest of the case didn't hold up.

that was relevant to the case
due to time constraints/person_

have a great deal of trouble
controlling his anger during a

seems strange that he made OJ
sit in jail 18 hours more than
he should have had to, just
because all seventy of OJ's
lawyers weren't there.
Everyone in the world seems
to have an opinion about OJ's
guilt. Did he or didn't he?
Perhaps we will never know.
However, a jury that heard all
the admissable, allowable evidence
was not convinced that
the state proved its case. That
should be enough. After all,
time should tell whether or not
a guilty man "got away with

Parkside Football?
Each of the last four summers,
the Division I Wildcats
of Northwestern University
have made the trek north
from Evanston to Parkside
for "Camp Kenosha."
Practices are held on soccer
fields coverted into two
specially prepared football
fields, complete with regulation
N.C.A.A. goal posts and
all the trappings of big time
football. More than 140 Team
members, coaches, and
staffers came this summer.
They sleep in our Residence
Halls, have training tables in
the Union Dining Room and
use many other campus facilities.
Their coach has
described the setting as "outstanding".
The N.U. team runs a grueling
three-a-day practice
schedule. Their day begins at
6:30 a.m. with breakfast and
runs straight through until
about 10:00 p.m. when the
last classroom session is
held. If the team isn't working
out, eating, or sleeping,
then it goes over the playbook.
Nothing but football for
ten days!
)
From what's happened so
far in the '95 season, " Camp
Kenosha" must be working.
In their best start since 1962
(3 and 1), the Cats have
already pulled off what the
critics are calling the "upset
of the year" in collegiate football
by beating the Irish of
Notre Dame on their home
turf in South Bend. They've
also posted a big win against
favored Air Force. And this
past weekend knocked off
their first Big Ten opponentthe
Indiana Hoosiers- with
an impressive 30 to 6 victory.
Overtime Goal Not Enough
After a scoreless regulation game October
14, the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide
scored first, but finished second. The overtime
goal wasn't enough for the victory as
#16-ranked Northeast Missouri beat the
Rangers 2-1 in OT.
Ranger Lisa Sadowski scored the first goal
of the game at the 94:57 mark in overtime to
give Parkside the lead. But Northeast
Missouri came back with two unanswered
goals of their own to spoil a Ranger win.
Head Coach Barb Singer said despite the
loss, her team showed signs of optimism.
"We played well against a nationally
ranked team," said Singer. "After we scored
the first goal of the game, we fell back on
defense and that kind of hurt us."
The Rangers were outshot 20-10, and the loss
snapped their six-game winning streak.

The Lady Rangers can
place another victory under
their belt wmrnng the
Parkside Invite last
Saturday. Despite low temperatures
and gusting winds,
the women's cross-country
team blew the competition
away. Parkside placed first
out of 23 scoring teams at

points, Loyola was second
with 73 points.
The wind made times a little

was against the runners
going up the hill at the

of the runners tried to make
up the time in the second
and third mile.

Chwago over Houston: The
Bears' defense recovers
against a Houston team that
does not have a primary

Miami over NY Jets: The
Dolphins two-game losing
streak comes to an end with

GreenBay over Minnesota:
For the Pack, game two in a
five-game stretch against
Central Division teams. In
what figures to be a defensive
duel, Chris Jacke better be
ready to decide this one.
Oakland over Indianapolis:
The Colts have won their last
three games against the
NFL's elite. Tim Brown and
the rushing defense of the
Raiders will stop Faulk and
company from getting four.
San Diego over Seattle:
The Chargers bounce back
after getting blown away by

Men run best
• Al Heppner
Sports Editor
This is how it's supposed to
work. As the season goes on,
the times go down. It happened
for the Runnin'
Rangers last Saturday at the
UWP Cross Country
Invitational. Six out of
Parkside's top ten finishers
earned personal bests as the
Rangers took fifth out of 22
teams.
"This is the best showing
for our team this year," said
Head Coach Lucian Rosa.
The upper classmen also
showed their might, allowing
only one freshman into the
top seven.
"I'm glad our upper classmen
showed up to run," said
Rosa. "I'm very happy with
Andy Sarnow. He is close to
where he is capable of running."
Sarnow ran the fastest
Parkside time of the year
(26:48) and finished 13th in
the race. Senior Jesse
Decker returned to form
with his best time of the
year (27:13) and Dave
Sheriff continued his solid
season 127:23). Freshman
Steve MiIler has been the
most consistent freshman
and is steadily improving.
Thel:52 half-miler from
California was fourth for the
Rangers. Dan Koch, Jeff
Rhein, and Shane Carr also
broke through with personal
bests.
Meanwhile, Brian
Borkowski continued to be
the most afflicted runner.
This time the shoe less wonder
got spiked over the knee
and had to stop for thirty
seconds. Bork was speechless
over his latest casualty.
Now the team's focus shifts
to the Great Lakes Valley
Conference Championships
in Northern Kentucky. A
meet that Sarnow believes
the team will be well prepared
for.
"Since we've been training
for 10 km, we should be
ready physically and if we
hold up mentally, we'll do
well."
Rosa remained optimistic
as well. "I think if they put
together a good race (the
course isn't as tough as
Parkside's) all five should be
under 27:00."
. Looking at the GLVC conference,
Lewis is probably
untouchable, but the rest of
No Shots = No Victory
Behind a strong offensive
Ranger attack, the University
of Wisconsin-Parks ide kept
WPU-Indianapolis on the
defense the entire match and
chalked up a shutout 2-0 at
Wood Road Field.
UW-Parkside (12-4 overall,
6-2 GLVC) held WPUIndianapolis
without a
shot(14-0) for the entire
match.
The Rangers added both of
their goals in the second half
as Ricardo Pena found the
back of the net at the 58:48
mark and Steven Goll sealed
the victory at the 87:54 mark.
Mike Guzaski recorded his
second shutout in as many
days for the Rangers.
Head coach Rick Kilps said
his team played smart soccer.
"They (IUPU~Indianapolis)
went into a defensive shell
from the start ofthe game,"
said Kilps. "When you go
against that style of play you
can easily shoot yourself in
the foot, but we responded
nicely and put them away."
UW-Parkside travels to

"Mynumber
in Auschwitz
is 149,514,"
he stated
simply
in a heavy
Polish
accent.
"When
they
did tattoo
the
number,
your
name
was
erased.
They
never
did refer
to you as Walter
Peltz.
They
called
you by your
number."
The man
behind
number
149,514
spoke
to the crowd
assembled
in the Union
Cinema
on October
25. While
wesat comfortably
in our
middle-class,
1994
existences,
Walter
Peltz
took
us back
in
time
to the second
World
War.
Peltz
is a survivor
of
fiveNazi
concentration
camps,
including
the horrific
death
camp,
Auschwitz.
During
the Holocaust,
Peltz
was
drafted
by the Polish
army
and then
went
AWOL.
"I did go AWOL,
1want
you to
know.
I'm not ashamed
of it.
Otherwise
I wouldn't
have
been
here.
1 went
AWOL
and
got captured
by the Naxis,"
he
said.

of
Schindler's
List
- See
page

From
that
point,
Walter
Peltz's
life was
never
the
same.
After
escaping
several
times
from
the Nazis,
he was
eventually
taken
and brought
to a concentration
camp.
He
was
transferred
to several
other
camps
before
he ended
up at Auschwitz.
He spent
two years
there.
Peltz
did not give
graphic
details
of the horrors
he saw
at the camps.
"I don't
want
to
go into
it," he stated.
"I don't
want
you to have
a sleepless
night."
He did, however,
tell
us about
some
ofthe
tragedies
brought
about
by
the Holocaust.

Handgun
Referendum:
Killers
or Protectors?
Your Chance
To
Decide
byDouglas
D. Pasniak
News
Writer
Voters
will
consider
a
referendum
concerning
handgun
possession
in the
CityofKenosha
on November
8. This
referendum,
if
passed,
will make
it illegal
to
possess
a
gun
with
a barrel
lessthan
10 inches
long
intended
to be fired
with
one
hand.
Several
groups
would
be
exempt
from
this
ordinance:
police,
security
officers,
licensed
gun
collectors,
target
shooters
who
store
their
guns
.
at clubs,
and others.
Violators
of the proposed
ordinance
would
be charged
witha misdemeanor
and
fined
$110
for the first
offense
and$210
for subsequent
offenses.
No jail time
or
criminal
record
would
develop
from
this
ordinance.
The
handgun
would
be confiscated
and
destroyed
if
not needed
for court
purposes.
This
referendum
is
supported
by Campaign
For A
Better
Kenosha.
This
organization
consists
of
members
from
community
groups,
churches,
and
concerned
citizens.
Campaign
For A Better
Kenosha
believes
that
possession
of handguns
is a
serious
problem
and
that
having
a handgun
in the
home
is far more
likely
to kill
or cause
serious
harm
to
loved
ones
than
to protect
them.
One
member
of this
organization,
Bruce
Bloedorn,
stated,
"It is not so much
a
crime
issue
but a public
health
issue."
Bloedorn
believes
that
passage
of this
referendum
will force
Kenosha
Citizens
Against
Crime
(the
leading
organization
against
this
referendum)
to come
to "the
table"
and reinterpret
the
Second
Amendment.
Campaign
For A Better
Kenosha,
according
to
Bloedorn,
believes
that
it is a
"seed
to a national
plan,"
and
that
if
this
handgun
ban
becomes
law,
Kenosha
Citizens
Against
Crime
will
appeal
this
decision.
Bloedorn
believes
the appeal
would
be based
on the Second
Amendment
to the
Constitution,
the right
to bear
arms.
The
Amendment
states,
"A well
regulated
Students
Rally for Education
militia,
being
necessary
to the
security
of a free
state,
the
right
of the people
to keep
and bear
arms,
shall
not be
infringed."
Bloedorn
is a teacher
who
says
he constantly
hears
students
talking
about
handguns.
He stated,
"We're
not against
guns,
just
against
handgun
violence
such
as the
kid going
to school
with
a
gun.
1wouldn't
want
my
child
playing
where
there
are
handguns."
Opposed
to this
referendum,
the Kenosha
Citizens
Against
Crime
consists
of individuals,
sportsmen,
veterans,
police
officers,
and
business
people
who
firmly
believe
in the
right
to bear
arms.

Enrollment
Target
Met
for Fall 1994
by Tabitha
Brown
Staff
Writer
The
University
of Wisconsin
System
sets
enrollment
goals
for each
university
in the
system
each
semester.
What
the goal
entails
for each
school
is that
they
stay
at least
1%
within
the target
that
the
system
has set for them.
Parkside
has met
their
goal
for the fall semester.
Registar
Susan
Johnson
said,"We
did
fall within
the one percent
of
meeting
our target
and in the
eyes
of the UW
System,
we did
meet
our goals."
There
were
two campuses
in the UW
System
who
didn't
meet
their
target
enrollment
goals.
Two
of them
exceeded
their
range
of 1
%
and two ofthem
fell
below
that
range.
Johnson
further
commented
that
"we
did very
well
in a time
when
enrollments
were
declining."
The
enrollment
for this fall
rose
slightly
over
fall 1993.
Many
categories
increased
their
enrollments
this
semester,
while
few decreased.
For instance,
we had
fewer
undergraduate
students
this
semester
than
we did last fall.
But the number
of graduate
students
increased
this
fall.
The
number
of students
of
color
increased,
while
the
number
of white
students
decreased.
This
semester
we
also
have
more
nontraditional
students
than
last fall,
and
the number
of traditional
students
has dropped
since
last fall.
This
semester
the number
of
part-time
students
increased
by 4.5%
in comparison
to the
fall 1993
enrollment.
Full-
time
students
decreased
by
14%.
Male
student
enrollment
decreased
from
last fall to
present
by 2.31
%.
The
enrollment
of women
increased
3.34%.*

Peltz
was
motivated
to
speak
to us,
and
to other
students,
by
what
he
calls
"the
times."
Peltz
is
adamantly
opposed
to the

movement
which
has
appeared
here
and
worldwide.
He
is also
appalled
by people
who
don't
believe
the
Holocaust
ever
happened.
"In
1994,
the
same
thing
can
happen,"
he
stated.
"I hope
that
I don't
waste
my
time."
A presentation
of
Schindler's
List
followed
the
lecture.

remarked
that

After

he
was
the
only
member
of his

still
alive;
his

also
convinced
that
with
an
estimated
13,000
handguns
in
Kenosha,
this
ordinance
would
provide

Therefore,

Dean requests
review
Regents
resolution
Nick Zahn
Assistant
News Editor
"Dennis
Dean filed a request
for a circuit
court review
of the
BoardofRegents
resolution,"
said
Mark Nielsen,
Dean's
attorney.
Dean
wasterminated
from his post
September
11 as professor
of En-
glishandHumanities
in a decision
by the University
of Wisconsin
Boardof Regents.
"The essence
of the petition
filled
by professor
Dean is that it
challenges
thedecision
of the Board
of Regents
on the grounds
that it
doesnot meet the basic require-
mentsof
dueprocess,"
said Nielsen.
Nielsen
pointed
out that the
BoardofRegents
didn't
make any
findings
of facts on their own but
ratheradopted
the faculty
commit-
teefindings
of the facts.
"While
professor
Dean was accused
on
fourseparate
counts
and was re-
quired
to answer
to each,
the com-
mitteedidn't state whether
he was
guiltyofone or two or three or four

or none.
''Theyjust basically

tion of sexually

We have
no way
01 knowing
-
what the committee
actually
found
happened.
That is not appropri-
ate," said Nielsen.
One of the other challenges
is
the age of thecomplaints.
"Profes-
sor Dean was required
to respond
to complaints
that were three and
six years old," Nielsen
explained.
According
toNielsen,
had thisbeen
a criminal
case the charges
would
have been barred
by the statutes
of
limitations.
Further,
"had it even
been an employment
case brought
under
state or federal
statutes
the
charges
would
have been barred
as
being too old.
"Here in acase with more sub-
stantial
stakes,
the man's
employ-
mentand
career,
they use these old
charges."
The circuit
court
will
now decide
whether
or not the pro-
cedures
followed
by the university
met administrative
and constitu-
tional due process.
"The University
policies
on
sexual
harassment
are very well
intentioned
and they're
perfectly
valid in what they are trying
to
accomplish,"
Neilsen
added.
"It's
just that they are formulated
very
vaguely
so that it'
sdifficuluo
know
hew
they should
be
ujJpiiw,"
What may change
in the fu-
ture, according
to Nielsen,
is that
university
policies
on sexual
ha-
rassment
will
be
made moredefi-
nite in terms of time guidelines
and in terrns of what type of pen-
alties should
be invoked.
"These
are changes
that will accomplish
what is a very important
goal in
our educational
selling
- protect-
ing students
and employees
from
sexual
harassment
- but also tak-
ing into account
the difficulties
that are faced with someone
who
is accused
with sexual
harass-
ment"
The key to solving
the situa-
lion is to strike a balance.
said
Neilsen.
"It's not that anybody
, here on the part of the university
or the Board
of Regents
is acting
in an intentionally
wicked
man-
ner."
Neilsen
concluded
by say-
ing that some of the worst situa-
tions occur when good people
are
weilding
too much power.
"Even
though
it may not be malicious
in
intent,"
hesaid, "that isthe whole

Yes, your vote can make
a difference
Steve
Anglin
SlaffWriter
The presidential
candidates
are
finally
on the last leg of the race for
the presidency.
With less than a
week
to go, the candidates
have
intensified
their exposure
trying
to
jockey
for position.
Indeed
it
has been a long and
unusual
campaign
for many
rea-
sons: George
Bush is not enjoying
the usually
comfortable
position
of
an
incumbent;
Bill
Clinton
is
con-
tinuing
to
take heat for Vietnam
evasion
and flaws
in character;
and
Ross Perot has thrown
his hat back
into the race for reasons
clear only
to his ego.
The scenario
on election
day
should
prove
to be interesting
if
voters
respond
on November
3.
However,
if history
tells us any-
thing,
it is that most people
will not
bother
even showing
upat the polls.
In fact, over half of all Americans
have not voted
in more than three
decades.
What's
more disturbing
is that
young
voters
have had the poorest
record
of all. In 1984,29
million
Americans
between
the ages of 18
and 24 were eligible
to vote, while
only
11
million
did.
Most nonvoters
seem to have
at least some idea about
why they
don't
vote.
Some
of the popular
ones are, "My vote won't make any
difference,"
"I don't
know
any-
thing about
the candidates,"
or
'Trn
not into politics."
All too often
these are viewed
as legitimate
rea-
sons for not voting.
The question
then is -why is it
important
that we take a more ac-
tive roll in our governmental
sys-
tem through
voting
and what dif-
ference
does it make?
If people
don't
vote it upsets
the intended
process
of checks
and
balances
the framers
ofour
Consti-
ftIti011
('("In..::fnJCle-n.
Inessence,
nonvoters
grant the
people
who do vote greater
influ-
ence over theoutcome
of elections.
One might
ask the question
-isthis
kind of
influence
beneficial
for me
or the majority
of people
in our
nation?
Nonvoters
need
to
realize
that
they are partially
to blame
for inef-
fective
government
because
they
are not letting
their presence
be
felt.
We as Americans
blame
the
politicians,
though
forthemost pan,
politicians
respond
to what voters
and nonvoters
collectively
demon-
strate,
whether
through
participa-
tion or inaction.
When
voting
is low, those in
power
tend topay more attention
to
people
who seek political
influ-
ence by methods
other than voting.
Practices
such as these inc1udecam-
paign
contributions,
lobbyist
groups,
and media
manipulation.
For example,
onc of thc most
powerful
political
action
committee's
today
is the National
Rifle
Association.
In the 1980's,
the NRA'
slobbying
efforts
steered
roughly
$4.7
million
in campaign
contributions
to friendly
candi-
dates.
This enables
candidates
to
accumulate
sizable
funds to help in
the expensive
battle
for media
at-
tention
One of the benefits
of voting
is
the ahilitv
to affect
how
our
I'0v-
ernmental
system
is operated.
Since the majority
of the pub-
lic does not bother
to record
its
preference
by voting,
politicians
rely
on
an
inaccurate
consensus
of
information
from pollsters
and re-
porters
to inform
them of public

''They

Union is lacking
Last fall, a group of student leaders got together to sug-
gest possible revisions
in
the layout and operation of
Union Square. To their minds. the Square was plagued
by
problems that made
it
hard for all students to enjoy them-
selves.
So the group met. came up
with
some recommendations
and reported them to Bill Niebuhr, director of the Union,
At the lime, Niebuhr told the group that he's look into the
feaslbllity of theIr suggesllons.
It's been a year now.
:Mr.
Niebuhr must still be looking,
because the situation hasn't improved
in
Union Square.
One of the recommendations was restructuring the
room so that there would be a quiet area for students who
wished to talk, not shout. at one another.
It
was suggested
that partiUons be erected
to
sequester a section of the
Square from the noise that sometimes occurs there.
Granted, there
is
nothing wrong
with
a little good-natur-
ed
partying; nor is there anything wrong with students
who wish to partake of more peaceful social activities. As
things stand now, that Is not an option at Union Square.
It
should be.
There was also talk of redesigning the building so as to
eliminate what one member of that student leadership
group referred
to
as its 'discotheque" look. Indeed, Pa.rk-
side has come
to
a point
in
its history where the physical
appearance of its buildings is
in
dire need of change, so
that the campus can look
like
the up~and-coming institu-
tion it's striving to be. Union Square should be an impor-
tant part of that updallng.
Food service also presents
a
problem. When
PAB
makes a genuine good faith effort to lure more students
into Union Square by showing a film on video, many
stu-
dents stay away, since
2
p.m. 1s when the movie starts as
well as when the grlll closes. Such shortsightedness
speaks
to
the miscommunication between the Union
ad-
mlnlstrallon and the Actlvllles Board. For either to be
successful, both need to work together.
In
general, then, we urge
Mr.
Niebuhr to seriously re-
consider
the
recommendations made to him last term.
And
we
also
encourage students wishing to see
trnprove-
ments in Union Square to voice their opinions. The stu-
dent Union Is just that - the student Union, financed by
student turtion.
Each and all of us should have a say in the way It's
run.

The Editor:
I

column, but there Isn't that
much copy on this Issue.
I
just wanted to pass along
some good news
to
the female
users of the Physical Educa·
tlon bullding. After using the
building
on
several occasions
to play racquetball,
I
found
out that the men's locker
room
has
electrical outlets
for the male users of the
bullding.
I
had searched the
women's. locker area to no
avall in hopes of finding elec-
trical outlets to use for my
curling Iron and halr dryer.
When
I
realized that the
men had something that the
women did not, I sent a
memo
to
Asst. Chancellor
Gary Goetz, who has taken
care of the oversight. He
in-
formed me
this week that the
order for the outlets has been
slgnned and he expects them
to be installed within six
weeks.
The lesson here is that the
system works. I urge students
who have problems with the
way the university is run,
whether
it
be something as
mundane
as
the lack of a
con-
venience or the lack or
an
educational program, to let
someone know.
The
only way
to
change the way things are
Is to let your voice be heard.

worked for me, and

And past their prime.
For five years

I've
looked at those antiquated

why
they haven't been replaced

porary. Are they, in their psy-

glory, an homage to the
Par-

Are they to remind us of a
time when "groovy," "bitch-

"hip" things to say? Were
they deslsgned by Chancellor
