Taking a look back at SA's successful year By Chad Sirovina

Since hindsight is 20/20, some of that perfect vision should be used to look at the performance of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Stu­dent Association over the past year.

"We've been busy," said Lisa Meyer, SA president.

The achievements of the SA which Meyer pointed to in­clude the creation of the women's center, the rewriting of the constitution and by-laws, the establishment of an ethics code, the passage of the grade point average referendum and the reorganization of the SA Resource Center (SARC).

"We've picked up the pieces and moved a lot forward," said Meyer. "I think we've restored the credibility of student gov­ernment with the administra­tion."

SA has also signed a con­tract with a new insurance com­pany for next year, Meyer said.

"We're going with one com­pany instead of two," said Meyer, "[The new company] is more reputable."

Meyer said that the low-light of the past year was the general disarray that the of­fice was in when she and Cheryl Stapleton, SA vice president, took over from the previous administration.

"We walked into a mess," said Meyer. "Files were de­stroyed, and the office was in shambles."

A project that Stapleton has been working on is child care within the University of Wis­consin System.

Stapleton said a draft of a child care proposal is due out of a UW System committee in Madison May 13.

"It very clearly defines the real purpose and necessity of what we are now going to call children's centers on UW cam­puses because they are more than just child-care facilities," said Stapleton.

The Women's Center which got under way this year was an idea that has been a statewide phenomenon across the UW system according to Meyer.

"It's been talked about for at least 10 years," Meyer said. "This year it just became a reality."

She said the reason for the success of the center this year was the work of Roxanne Patton.

"She stayed focused, which made a lot of difference," Stapleton said.

According to Stapleton, the committee on the Women's Center is currently in the pro­cess of hiring a director.

The Norris Health Center has also occupied much of SA's time, said Stapleton.

"This office has been very busy related to the health care center," she said.

According to Stapleton, the biggest part of the activity with the health center involved

breaking in the new director and improving communication with students through the de­velopment of a written policy.

Meyer said one of the big­gest accomplishments of the past year was the reorganiza­tion of SARC and hiring of a professional business manager for it to a five-year contract.

"[Hiring the manager] is probably one of our better

achievements," Stapleton said. "Her whole focus is the re­source center."

An item which was worked on but never came to fruition was the proposed bus pass plan, which would have given stu­dents an unlimited pass for the Milwaukee County Transit System with an increase in stu­dent fees.

According to Meyer, the program got tied up because administrative staff people for­warded information for some grant money that did not have any official approval.

"Basically they screwed* up," said Meyer.

"The top administration put a kabosh on [the proposal] be­cause things were not being done by the rules and regula­tions," said Stapleton.

"We wish the best of luck to the new administration," said Meyer.

University to get new id cards By Chad Sirovina

Students attending the Univer­sity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee will receive new student identification cards over the summer as UWM switches over to a new identifica­tion system according to Bob Meyer, a microcomputer special­ist at UWM.

According to Meyer, the new ID cards will have two magnetic strips on them. One will contain student information and the other will be a debit strip.

"The old system was pretty archaic," said Meyer. "We wanted a system we could grow into, not out of."

"The card itself is going to be completely different," said Jon Lenichek from the office of enroll­ment services.

Lenichek said that aside from the two magnetic strips on the

back, the photo on the front of the card would be done in a different manner as well.

"One of the most basic things about [the card] is that we are no longer taking Polaroid photos," said Lenichek.

According to Lenichek, the photo portion of the ED card will be taken by using a frozen video image of the student which will eliminate many of the retakes.

Meyer said the debit strip would be able to be used in new vending machines located around campus which would be designed to accept the card, and in the library which

will be getting a new copier card system.

The strip with the student infor­mation on it would be used to eliminate both the meal card sys­tem used by residents of the Sandburg residence halls and sys­tem currently used to verify stu­dent enrollment.

"We're getting away from the validation sticker," said Meyer.

Lenichek said one of the prob­lems with the current card system is the validation sticker.

"Validation is going to be real," said Lenichek.

According to Lenichek, the stu­dent information strip would elimi­nate the problem of having mul­tiple validation stickers the longer that one attends UWM and would eliminate the need for a special trip to the Cashier's Office for

Milwaukee Youth Theater * By Anthony Caskey *

Andy MacDonald asked the director during rehearsals how he

* could improve his performance for a play presented by Bayside's Milwaukee Youth Theater this

k Spring. His director, Peter Daniels, told

MacDonald to go stick it in his ear. MacDonald, 16, was playing

* the role of a nerdish high school teacher. Daniels, founder and president of the Milwaukee Youth Theater, had let MacDonald de­velop the character himself. After a few performances of the play, MacDonald asked Daniels how to spice up his character. Daniels suggested to the young actor that he stick his index finger in his ear and pretend to wipe the earwax from his ear on his leg. Audiences guffawed at MacDonald's new antics in later performances.

The theater does more than put on community plays. Daniels and a few other instructors conduct acting classes for children, young adults and adults. Often Daniels allows the theater to be used for art shows for youth and professional artists in the Milwaukee area. Occasionally the theater holds po­etry readings for Milwaukee po­ets.

Daniels, 35, started the youth theater because he prefers to teach children out of the traditional school setting. "I did not want to teach kids the way I was being told to," said Daniels. "I didn't want to have a boss saying 'no' or [asking] 'why.'"

The president of the theater expressed concern that most chil­dren and young adults do not want to go to school.

"How many kids want to be in school?" asked Daniels during an inteiview. "I bet in high school only 20 percent of kids want to

show," he continued. And so Daniels tries to make

his theater a place where children and young adults want to come to.

"I wanted to work with kids in an environment where they want to be there. It's incredible what kids can do when they are moti­vated and they want to do it."

Daniels' desire for his students to realize their creativity was his motivation to let MacDonald cre­ate his own character.

Daniels' students appreciate the adult manner in which he treats them. MacDonald was ecstatic about the creative freedom Daniels gave him.

"I get to really play around with it!" he said during an inter­view after one of the performances of the play, "Nothing But the Truth."

Amanda Link, who played both a high school student and a re­porter in the play said of her direc­tor, "It's so much fun working with Peter. He acts professionally, but not so much that you need to be afraid of him, like a teacher."

Parents are pleased with their children's growth during classes and plays at the theater. Accord­ing to Link's mother, Sandee, 36, her daughter felt intimidated get­ting involved with the play since Amanda is 12 and most of the actors in the play were 14 to 16 years old. But Amanda's fear quickly subsided, Link said.

"I think [Amanda] has gotten a lot more confidence in herself."

Joan McCallum, a child care provider who had one of her chil­dren involved in the Milwaukee Youth Theater's last play, "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown," took her whole family to see "Nothing But the Truth" even though none of her children were in the play. Of the directors and teachers at the theater, McCallum said they "gave

[children] a safe atmosphere and treated the children with dignity in a setting where I felt comfort­able."

Holding classes and rehearsals that parents are free to drop in on may contribute to the parents' com­fort with the theater. According to Daniels, some youth theaters in the area do not let parents sit in on their children's classes or rehears­als. Daniels said he preferred that parents did not come to the first couple of their child's classes so the class can develop into a group.

Daniels had been involved in theater and teaching before start­ing his theater. He said he had two years of acting training and ten years of experience with commu­nity and university theater produc­tions. He taught first and second grades for a total of three years in his home state of Montana, and he worked as an assistant in learning disabled in a class at Atwater Grade School in Shorewood.

In December of 1991, Daniels added about $2400 of friends' and family's money to his $650 of personal savings and started the theater, located at 2479 South Kinnickinnic Avenue.

The theater has slowly grown since. Last fall, Daniels built raised seating in his theater. He added a stage this winter.

According to Daniels, the stage may be temporary. He built it with bonowed materials, and if he can­not cut a deal with the owner of the materials, he may have to dis­mantle it and give the materials back.

Running a youth theater is not a profitable endeavor. Last year the Milwaukee Youth Theater op­erated on about $20,000, accord­ing to a flyer Daniels hands out at board meetings. About 70 percent

of tiie theater's revenue came from tuition for the acting and art classes given by the theater. The remain­ing 30 percent came from ticket sales to the theater's shows and donations.

Daniels did not want to discuss his salary from the theater, but he did not mind talking about the total of the salaries taken home by Mil­waukee Youth Theater employ­ees. Daniels, his wife, Christine, who is the theater's treasurer, book­keeper, program director and press agent, and a number of other teach­ers took home a combined total of $4000 from the theater's meager budget. Daniels' wife works as a receptionist to make ends meet at their home.

Although the theater's balance sheet is not the envy of a Fortune 500 company, Daniels is not com­plaining,

"I am in awe with the amount of support for the Milwaukee Youth Theater in the Bayside area. I am specifically touched by how sup­portive my wife has been," he said.

validation. "The card is going to stay clean,"

said Lenichek. Meyer said, the student infor­

mation ship will also be able to increase campus security. He said labs on campus could restrict stu­dent access, and the Klotsche Cen­ter could eliminate the problem of non-students using the facility.

Lenichek said security would also be enhanced by having only one card active per student even if a student should lose an ID card.

"The benefits are more subtle for the students," said Meyer.

"More than anything else, it's going to be more convenient for the students," said Lenichek.

According to Meyer, installa­tion of the new system is scheduled to begin on June 1. Students will be incorporated into the system be­ginning in the middle of June with freshman orientations.

"In July we hope to get the summer students," said Meyer. "This is basically the first phase of the program."

Meyer said there was the possi­bility of broadening the program even more in the future.

"I can see [services] the card can be used for continuing to ex­pand," said Lenichek.

According to Lenichek, the new ID card could be used for restrict­ing access to student only parking lots, and could be used to advance the bus-pass proposal.

He also said there was a possi­bility of adding swipe readers to the new Student Access to Student Information (SASI) machines.

Lenichek said that the idea for the new ID card system had been kicked around for five or six years.

"Our office has had to save for years to get the money for this system," said Lenichek.

The funding for the program was approved over a year ago, and the cost for the new computer sys­tem will be in the area of $30,000 said Meyer.

"There will be no increase in student fees at all," said Meyer. "The money has already been set aside."

According to Lenichek, the price for student ED cards will be the same, and current students will not be charged extra for their new ID card if they still have their old card.

Kegs may get tags to help nab underage drinkers, buyers

In the battle underage drinking, some communities are considering laws requiring beer kegs to be tagged so police could find the buyers if underage drinkers are caught with the brew.

The law attempts to create a standard identification system throughout Chicago suburbs, since kegs can easily be bought in one town and transported to another.

The issue has not yet been discussed in the Wisconsin legislature.

A store for the connoisseur By Yolanda White

There is a stigma about condom use in the United States. And with the presence of various sexually transmit­ted diseases, including AIDS, it shouldn't be that way, ac­cording to Jim Paley. He is one of the owners of Mister Hard Head Wisconsin's first condom boutique.

Paley's business, 420 E. Wells St., is also Milwaukee's exclusive source for Mister Hard Head condoms and cloth­ing. The distribution business opened five years ago and it supplies condoms and condom novelty products to various locations around the country. But because Paley and his brother, Andy, decided more should be done, they ventured out into something new.

"I felt it time that Milwau­kee had a condom store," Paley said.

Mister Hard Head is not what some people would imag­ine it is. It is not a hard core sex shop. According to Paley, it is a classy and tasteful at­tempt to remove the negative connotations associated with condom use.

The boutique has a theme. It begins with Mister Hard Head's kitchen which includes things found in a normal kitchen. There are sandwich cookies, but Mister Hard Head cookies have a condom where the filling would be. There are walnuts on the kitchen table, but when you crack one open

"Condoms are a life and death issue."

you find a condom in your lap. Mister Hard Head also has

a bedroom where various condom novelties lay.

Paley is quick to remind that there is a serious side to the boutique.

"Condoms are a life and death issue," he said.

Because of the serious na­ture of his business Paley tries to make Mister Hard Head as comfortable to shop in as a mall boutique. By doing so, he says, people are less inhib­

ited. Paley said his customers are

about 60 percent female, and range from high school aged to nearly 70-years-old.

"They come from all walks of life," he said.

Paley said that he gets local college crowds as well as pro­fessionals that stop in during lunch hour and after work. He is looking forward to the Sum­mer festivals and the large crowds that they may bring to the store.

Clothing has been a large attraction. T-shirts, sweatshirts and even condom socks are in stock.

"Some of the products have been on MTV and have been featured in [Gentlemen's Quar­terly magazine"]," Paley said.

Paley is pleased that the store has not met with much opposition. Even neighboring businesses have responded positively, Paley said.

"The only opposition were four letters in the Milwaukee Journal editorial section," he said.

For the most part, he thinks the boutique will do extremely well as long as people are not afraid to come into the store. That is why Paley hired an interior designer and an artist to help design the store.

Customers have responded favorably, Paley said, to the look, concept and contents of Mister Hard Head because the store puts humor on a subject that used to be negative.

tnployment Finding (good) work is hard to do for 1993 graduates By Rob Peterson

Good news for 1993 graduates. Monday, a major corporation

announced mat they will be hiring 50,000 new employees.

Too bad the company is Pizza Hut. And the 50,000 jobs are per­manent part-time jobs. Plus 1993 graduates will have to fall in line behind all of the 1992 graduates who have had difficulty finding jobs after graduating last year.

It is a tight job market. Dianne Sinnwell, the Univer­

sity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's Director of the Career Develop­ment Center agrees with the as­sessment.

"It's very competitive," Sinnwell said. "The job market is stalled because of the recession. There's not much movement be­cause companies feel less secure."

Sinnwell also attributes the slow job market to changes in many company's requirements and hir­ing practices.

"Over time, people have needed a different level of education," Sinnwell said. "Ten years ago, sales at IBM required no college degree.

"But the whole thing has changed. There are account reps now and sales needs a college degree because the reps need to deal with business men and women in order to develop systems which fit that particular organization."

In the case of hiring practices, Sinnwell said companies are tak­ing a different approach when re­cruiting students today.

"Companies have moved away from projective hiring," Sinnwell said. "When companies come to campus they no longer claim to have X-number of openings. Com­panies now hire as opportunities occur."

"Companies have had trouble maintaining jobs if they do projec­tive hiring. The company gets a bad reputation hiring more people than needed."

Sinnwell also said that smaller companies are doing more hiring than large companies.

"Large firms have fewer posi­tions and are downsizing," Sinnwell said. "Smaller firms al­low you to be more flexible and creative with opportunities."

ter does a survey in order to keep track of all graduates and their job placements.

Sinnwell expects this year's numbers to be around the national average.

"In the next six months we expect the numbers to be 89 per­cent on the low end and 92 percent on the high end," Sinnwell said about placement for UWM grads. "In a good year the low end would be about 92 percent and the high end around 97 percent."

Even though the number of placements will be down this year, Sinnwell states there are many hot areas in the work force.

"Nursing and allied health pro­fessions are hot now," Sidwell said. "Insurance, banking, retail and fast food are also hot."

When queried, about the fast food opportunities, Sinnwell be­lieves graduates must keep an open mind.

"Students say they don't want to work hard for four years and

then work for McDonald's flip­ping burgers," Sinnwell said. "But I try to keep reminding them that when McDonald's opened in Mos­cow, a UWM grad set everything up. He'sfar from flipping burgers."

While opening a McDonald's in Moscow may not be your cup of borscht, Sinnwell states there are many things a graduate can do to keep on the lookout for employ­ment.

mployment As you fail class remember, it might not matter By Eric J. Pledl

How important are grades in getting a job after gradua­tion?

An answer to that question depends on what kind of job a graduate is looking for, and who you ask.

According to experts at the University of Wisconsin-Mil­waukee, good grades are very important in some fields, and less important in others.

For certain positions, ap­plicants may never be asked to provide grade transcripts.

In very technical fields, such as accounting or engi­

neering, grades will often be the determining factor in who gets a job, according to Diane Sinnwell of the UWM Career Development Center. In the technical fields, grades show the level of work a job candi­date has accomplished.

It can also depend on what sort of company a person wants to work for.

"In some of the major firms, grades are very important," Sinnwell said. "Once you get away from the Fortune 500 companies, it's not as impor­tant."

Most don't stress grades only. Good communication

skills can be equally important in landing the job you want.

Most college students don't make it through school with­out getting a few bad grades, and according to Sinnwell, usually that won't hurt them. But it's important that job seek­ers, especially in interviews, not blame others for their bad

grades. "The employer wants to see

the student take responsibility for the grade," Sinnwell said, "not blame teachers or some­one else for bad grades."

Students also usually get most of their poorer grades in general course requirements before they get into upper level

classes in their major. Irvin Mitchell, an advisor

for UWM Student Academic Services, agrees that the im­portance of grades can depend on the field of study. Grades can be important, he said, for some liberal arts degrees.

Real advice from an old pro By Paul Krueger

It is our last issue of the semester here at the Post and this is being called our "employment" issue.

Strangely enough, I've been asked to impart my wisdom on job hunting. I personally find this to be pretty hysterical since I graduated in May of 1992 and I'm still working at a campus newspaper.

But I won't let my skepticism of my own wisdom get in the way. That said, I'll try to offer up a few tips to future journalism graduates.

Presently, the economy is about as healthy as the

brain cells of most college-age University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee students the day after the last day of finals.

That fact will make you realize several things. One is that if you have a job that pays more than seven or eight bucks an hour, you're probably better off than the average recent college graduate. Two, that your parents were right, you will be pumping gas when you're

24-years-old. Three, graduate school, that hellish nightmare that

has somehow escaped your dreams throughout your

mployment Temporary services a viable employment option By Don Leibold

Temporary services are a viable employment option that offer a ray of hope in these often dark economic times.

Many services in the Mil­waukee area are only too will­ing to place people in need of work with skills to burn. Col­lege students (that's you and me), have these skills, and we often just need an outlet for them. This factor, combined

with their need for money, makes college students the per­fect candidate for temporary employment this summer and beyond.

Patti Nichols, employment specialist at Kelly Services, described their hiring process.

After calling and setting up an appointment, potential em­ployees come in for a com­plete skills evaluation. Nichols said office skills, including word processing and spread­

sheet abilities on Microsoft and Windows, are desirable.

Nichols looks for people who are easy to work with, who are able to adjust to new situations and who are not too temperamental.

"We hope to place people within three days, that is our goal," said Nichols.

Kelly Temporary Services is located at 2200 N. Mayfair Rd, Suite 100. Call 258-4121 for information.

Hitchcock pays his respects

Andy Metcalfe, Morris Windsor and Robyn Hitchcock

By Don Leibold

In 1976, just before England's punk explosion, they came. The Soft Boys; Robyn Hitchcock, Morris Windsor, Andy Metcalfe; combined jaunty pop sensibilities with a psychedelic subtext in the do-it-yourself spirit of the time. After a few years together and classic albums like UNDERWA­TER MOONLIGHT, the group, which now included guitarist Kim-berly Rew, disbanded.

After some time apart and some solo excursions by Robyn Hitchcock, which included the acoustic / OFTEN DREAM OF TRAINS album, the original trio reformed under the rubric, Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians. Their first effort, FEGMANIA, released in 1985, featured the increasingly peculiar lyrics of Hitchcock and the folky new wave noodlings of the Egyptians. After five releases, including a live album, and an­other solo acoustic collection by Hitchcock, the three are still pro­ducing viable music, as evidenced on their latest, RESPECT.

RESPECTfeatures an acoustic-based sound which harkens back to Hitchcock's DREAM OF TRAINS and 1990's EYE. The al­bum, produced by John Leckie

(Dukes of Stratosphere, Stone Roses), was actually recorded in Hitchcock's home on the Isle of Wight in England.

"We had this huge great BBC mobile computerized studio parked outside," Morris Windsor said. "We recorded either in his kitchen or in his living room. I even did a bit of drums in the toilet."

After acoustic instrumental tracks and vocals were done, over-dubs were done in London. It was then mixed down at Peter Gabriel' s studio in Bath.

The result is a stripped-down collection of inward-looking songs that explore the realities of death, mortality and love. "Then You're Dust" finds Hitchcock firmly yet mournfully singing "Nobody wakes you. Nobody can. Nobody shakes you anymore."

Dedicated to Raymond

Hitchcock, Hitchcock's father, as well as John Lennon, RESPECT s resigned tone is a likely result of the death of the former last year (with the latter seemingly having usurped Syd Barret as Hitchcock's main influence). Even at his most wacky and frivolous, Hitchcock is still conscious of his father's death. In "The Yip Song," he sings "This old man, he was gone — he was gone and I was sorry?'

RESPECTs warmth and tone marks a departure from the pol­ished feel-of 1991's PERSPEX ISLAND. This is due in large part to the change in producer.

"John Leckie is much more introverted. Paul Fox was very much in control. He liked to talk a lot, in a good way. He's very American," Windsor said. "John

Skylight presents unfinished Mozart By Karli Bell

Paul Griffiths, music critic for New Yorker magazine has created THEJEWELBOX, a"new" Mozart opera for Milwaukee's Skylight Opera Theatre.

This opera combines unfinished Mozart operas and concert arias with the music of other compos­ers.

According to Marietta Hedges, marketing director for the Sky­light Opera Theatre, Griffiths cre­ated this comic opera piece using characters "who were unable to go on"because the composer (Mozart) had died.

"The characters call in a com­poser to try to complete the opera. That composer gets more involved in the lives of these comedic char­acters," said Hedges.

The piece is called THE JEWEL

BOX "because it has all these little Mozart gems within it," she said.

There is a lot of attention being paid to this particular opera. Ac­cording to Hedges, it is because the form is so uncommon. "It's an interesting mix of things," she said.

THE JEWEL BOX was first produced by Opera North and per­formed at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham, England in 1991. The May 5 opening at Skylight will be its North American debut.

The opera is both the final production of the season and the last to be performed at the present Jefferson St. location, which has been Skylight's home for more than 30 years.

According to Hedges, this June the theatre will be moving to a

LL COOL J 14 SHOTS TO THE DOME COLUMBIA 14 SHOTS has, of course, 14

tracks on it. Some of them are pretty intense, others kind of weak. Marley Marl's reggae/P-funk style production adds an­other edge to an already sharp razor. The album is good; differ­ent but good. If you're a new LL Cool J fan, you'll enjoy it. If you're an older follower, you might think it's kinda lame.--Yolanda White

ENUFF ZNUFF ANIMALS WITH HUMAN IN­

TELLIGENCE ARISTA With this album, Enuff Znuff

has finally established a clear iden­tity by dropping the glam imag­ery and placing more emphasis on the music. Songs like "Super­stitious" and "Black P^ain" are all-out rockers that are sure to please any metalhead. ANIMALS is a definite winner. Enuff Znuff should have no trouble finding an audience this time around.-Matt Michaelis

EILJJJH MACKENZIE THE RAINMENT OF THE

TALE FLYING FISH/TEMPLE Eilidh Mackenzie probably has

one of the most beautiful voices anywhere, in Gaelic or English.

She spins a mystical web of vocal harmony backed up by the en­chanting instruments of the Irish and Scottish cultures. If you close your eyes, you can see red-haired fairy queens, dancing on the moors, singing and chanting magic as they skip across your ear-drums.—Marc Rodriguez

WORLD PARTY BANG! CHRYSALIS Karl Wallinger, World Party's

ringleader, has moved away from the Beatle-esque undertones of World Party's first two albums. This one is more funky, heavier, not as happy. Some of Wallinger's idealism comes through on "Sun­shine," but for the most part, any idealism is quickly followed by cynicism. I always thought Wallinger was a genius, BANG! supplies even more proof. -Lisa Sichi

THE BRADY BUNCH IT'S A SUNSHINE DAY MCA IT'S A SUNSHINE DAY weaves

a magical day-glo web of seven­ties cheese-pop. Each song boasts insipid yet endearing melodies and pleasantly sterile rock muzak backing. Besides givens like "Keep On" and "Time to Change," this collection features a menacing funk throwdown in "Candy (Sugar Shoppe)" and a mind-bending psychedelic cover of "Charlotte's Web." Get this now!—Don Leibold

ONYX BACDAFUCUP COLUMBIA The beats are kickin', the bass

is boomin'. The production, cour­tesy of Chyskillz and Jam Master

Jay, makes BACDAFUCUP a worthwhile purchase. The lyrics though, are dispensable. The four "bal-hedz" fit the lyrics into each song with style, but they mean very little; you must rap about what you have lived and what you know. BACDAFUCUP has Onyx backed up to seventh grade.~JR

COURTNEY PINE TO THE EYES OF CREA TION ISLAND Pine's latest release is a jazz

and world beat manifesto of sheer brilliance. He has been able to incorporate elements of jazz fu­sion and African and West Indian influences in what is truly a syn­thesis of African-American musi­cal traditions. This album is jazz for today and tomorrow, easily digested by the young listener.-Marc Rodriguez

PORNO FOR PYROS PORNO FOR PYROS WARNER BROS. With each of his projects, Perry

Farrel's artistic vision has fal­tered a bit. After an embryonic live album, Jane's Addiction re­leased the awe-inspiring NOTHING'S SHOCKING. 1990's RITUAL DE LO HABITUAL was good but disappointing.

Jeff Speakman not your typical actor By Jim Haig

Sure, everybody gets a kick out of martial arts movies. The genre is being infiltrated by action stars like Jean Claude Van Damme and Steven Seagal. To make a martial arts movie unique is a chore.

Jeff Speakman, Chicago native and star of STREETKNIGHT, a new mo­tion picture from Cannon, will always go the extra mile to stay ahead.

Speakman is a master and teacher of the Kenpo tech­nique, a college graduate with a psychology degree, not to mention an international film star. There seems to be no limit to his abilities.

Speakman caught up with the Post in a phone interview from Atlanta to explain his star­ring role in STREETKNIGHT and his unique martial arts style.

"I started out learning Kenpo in Los Angeles. Kenpo is a Chinese-based art that is a combination of two different types of Kung Fu that came together in the Hawaiian is­lands," Speakman revealed.

"Ed Parker [his master and mentor who also taught Bruce Lee and Elvis Presley] came from Hawaii to take what he knew and brought it to America in the early fifties, where he created Ed Parker's Kenpo American. By doing so, the difference was that he cut ties with the historical past and ancient fighting techniques and combined them with modern scientific principals ," Speakman said.

"So when I am teaching Kenpo, I'm literally teaching geometry, physics, anatomy, as well as physiology. We are a practical, not classical, form of martial arts."

After college, Speakman studied traditional Japanese

"We had 68 gang members and ex-members who

participated in this film."

-Jeff Speakman

Gojuru under tenth degree Black Belt Lou Angel.

"I had to seek out and find different coaches that taught, but had similar principals and concepts to what I had learned," Speakman said. "I wasn't interested in a coach dealing in method acting or theater-based acting, but one that could teach me television and movie acting."

No stranger to being in front of the camera, Speakman has had numerous acting jobs, in­cluding appearances on the television series, HUNTER, and in movies like SLAUGH­TERHOUSE ROCK and NIGHT RAIDERS.

With his acting skills and martial arts ability, Speakman was referred for the title role of THE PERFECT WEAPON by KICKBOXER screenwriter Glen Bruce. This successful role led to his role in STREETKNIGHT.

The film deals with street gangs and youth in Los Ange­les and one retired officer who tries to do his part in dealing with the situation.

"We had 68 gang members and ex-members who partici­pated in the film ... We had five different gangs together in this film," Speakman said. "We got a hold of a company that I work with now called Colors United and Living Lit­erature. These are guys who work in South Central to get kids out of gangs and teach them to sing and dance and perform."

STREETKNIGHT will be in theaters shortly. Be sure to chop your way to the theaters and catch Jeff Speakman.

Lincoln: US May 6, 1993

Wisconsinites invade Minneapolis By Don Leibold

Lincoln, a group of Wis­consin natives transplanted to Minneapolis, wield a wide va­riety of musical styles, influ­ences and instruments to cre­ate accessible, sometimes ex­hilarating, songs. Echos of The Alarm, U2, and The Police weave through the mix. Bub­bling bass, played by Mark Anderson, and goose-bump inducing drums, courtesy of Stephen Brown, provide a rock-steady rhythm section for Joel Stearns' percolating gui­tar and Joe Beard's throaty vocals.

Making a dent in the Min­neapolis music scene is some­what difficult, but Lincoln's sound sets them apart.

"We don't really fit in with any bands up here at all," said Stearns.

"It's kind of tough some­times. You get discouraged ... there's a lot of garbage up here."

Fortunately for Lincoln, the booze-soaked loser-rock of bands like The Replacements

"It's kind of tough sometimes ... You get

discouraged." -Joel Stearns

and Soul Asylum has run its course. The Mats have broken up and Soul Asylum is fast becoming the Eagles of the 1990s. Cultivation of the grunge aesthetic is in full ef­fect; it is everywhere. The well-crafted, sometimes jazzy, tunes of Lincoln may not win over Dumpster Juice diehards, but it helps to create a diver­sity that is welcome in any music scene.

Lincoln's presence in Min­neapolis was preceded by two previous incarnations playing covers and originals in high school. The departure to col­lege disrupted the evolution of the band. Geographical logis­tics were worked out a little over a year ago and Lincoln's lineup finally coalesced.

After recording a five song EP last fall and releasing it

themselves this year, the band hopes to embark on some sort of mini tour of the Midwest this summer. Talking with booking agents and promoters is often just that, talk.

"We. get a lot of promises. Everybody wants to help you out, which is great. But we just don't get excited any more at what anybody says," Stearns said.

"The manager for The Samples [a Colorado-based reggae/rock outfit], he ex­pressed some deep interest in our band. He's supposedly try­ing to get us a few gigs but we haven't heard anything from him, so..."

Certain wrinkles remain to be ironed out for Lincoln, but their perseverance and talent should facilitate any future success.

Write Lincoln Headquar­ters, 1031 27th Ave. SE, Min­neapolis, MN 55414, for prod­uct and band information.

Lincoln will be playing Harpo's on May 20.

DRIVIN-N-CRYIN's latest album is entitled SMOKE but there's nothing elusive about this band. Since their formation in 1985, D-N-C has made a name for themselves the old-fashioned way: by recording well-crafted albums and playing night after night (for as many as nine months out of the year) in clubs and arenas across the country.

SMOKE is the first 0-N-C album that is totally representative of the band's aggressive live shows which meld such disparate musical styles as punk, folk and metal. To harness the energy of having just spent 18 months on the road, D-N-C skipped their usual pre-production period and went directly into the studio. The band was determined to capture the rawness and power that had been so rivetting to their audiences. Over the course of the next three months, a record of unusual force and spontaneity began to emerge.

The twelve songs that make up SMOKE are the band's most personal to date, infusing their perceptive insight, political acuity and passion with a tangible sense of urgency. DRIVIN-N-CRYIN present.complex musical and lyrical concepts in the form of loud, straight ahead rock and roll. On SMOKE, DRIVIN-N-CRYIN convey an intensity and focus rarely achieved by any band.

Having recorded the last two albums relatively close together, the threesome is preparing to take some time off.

"The last three years have been pretty intense, we could all use a bit of a break," Windsor said.

In response to recent rumors of a Hitchcock retirement, Windsor laughed, "He's always saying that he's going to retire anyway."

newly-constructed 372-seat 18th Century Italian Baroque music hall in the Third Ward. After buying and refurbishing the historic ware­house adjacent to the new prop­erty, Skylight built the opera house in the same unique architectural style.

"The interior decorative scheme is 18th Century Baroque. Nowhere else has anything been done like this in an existing struc­ture," Hedges said. The building will also house the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre and Theatre X."

This opera is significant as be­ing the last performed at the Jefferson St. location because of the words that are spoken at the end.

"In the final stanza, the [char­acter of the] composer sings about

how artists move from place to place, but no matter where they go, the audience should come with them."

UWM Track:

Dieck gets three personal bests By Joel R. Grant

Ann Vuchichevich broke the school record in the discus and Sheri Dieck had three personal-best marks as the University of W i s c o n s i n - M i l w a u k e e women's track and field team had arguably its best meet of the season last weekend at the Purdue Qualifier in West Lafayette, Ind.

Vuchichevich broke the school discus record with a toss of 136 feet, 11 inches. Vuchichevich also fared well in the shot-put, placing second with a throw of 42-7. Dieck put together the best meet of her career.

Dieck placed second in the 100-meters with a time of 12.57 seconds, second in the long jump with a distance of 18-6, and fourth in the 200 with a time of 25.7. Joette Buening had a personal-best in the 1,500 with a clocking of 4:46.5 and

"It was one of the best year's we've had since I've

been here." -Assistant Coach Dave

Rubino

Rose McGinnis also had a per­sonal-best, finishing at 1:04.30 in the 400 hurdles.

McGinnis also finished sec­ond in the 100 hurdles with a time of 15.09. Kim Rosenberg didn't break any records or have any personal bests, but was her usual steady self by tying Dieck in the 200 at 25.7 and finishing third in the 100 at 12.81.

Assistant coach Dave Rubino was very pleased with the women's performance.

"The women were just great," Rubino said. "Ann's record in the discus was defi­nitely the highlight of the meet."

The men's team was led by muscleman Steve Schwengel.

Schwengel finished second in the discus at 159-3, and had a fourth-place finish in the shot-put (49-6 1/4). The 4 X 100 relay team finished atop the competition with a time of 43.7. Tim Kenney was impressive in the 800, finishing third with a time of 1:55.1.

Other top finishers were Kelley Kinas in the 800 (fifth place: 1:57.3), Chris Jackson in the 400 (fifth: 51.2), Chris Mace in the 400 hurdles (fifth: 57.4), and Todd Santoro in the 200 (fifth: 23.1).

With the season winding down, Rubino reflected on his teams' seasons.

"The women' s team was just great," Rubino said. "Injuries and sickness put somewhat of a damper on things for the guys, but they worked hard

The difference between dedicated and deranged: The big news from the tennis world last week was the stabbing of Monica Seles at a tournament in Hamburg, Germany. Here's

a 19-year-old kid doing some­thing almost everyone dreams of; playing a game as a means of employment.

In what had to be one of the more cowardly moves of the

decade, some completely idi­otic jerk-off stabbed Seles in the back between games of a match apparently because he's a big fan of Steffi Graf. He didn't want to kill Seles, just

hinder her from playing. I hate to mention such an overused cliche, but shit, what is this world coming to?

Never mind the monetary damage this will do to Seles (she'll undoubtedly lose mil­lions of dollars that she would have won on the tour), a big­ger question is what will this do to her personally?

Another question is what

will this happening have on future sporting events? A friend of mine was wondering when it would happen that an athlete would be shot at a sporting event. Think that it's a ludi­crous thought? Don't. The world is getting scarier and scarier by the minute and even in this microcosm of society

that we call the sports world, anything can happen.--Paul Krueger

And on to less troubling news: The Green Bay Packers had a nearly perfect minicamp last week. Of course there was one exception. Terrell "The Vaccinator" Buckley was ab­sent so he could concentrate on his baseball career. At last check he was hitting all of .234 at the A level in the Braves farm system.

Terrell, it's time for a real­ity check. Your future in base­ball isn't a tremendously en­couraging one, especially if

you bang around football field for 10 years. Your future in football could be filled with Pro-Bowls if you put some ef­fort into it. You can't afford to skip even a minicamp. You got burned way too often. And not only by wide receivers, but by tight ends and running backs, also. You need all the practice and insight you can get. Even Reggie White, with his $17 million contract and several years of experience, was able to make it to the minicamp.

I hope to be wrong, but I could see the pick of Buckley going down as another "skip the guy 'cause he's local" screwup by management of

Wisconsin teams. I'm refer­ring to a few somewhat recent picks such as: Green Bay pick­ing Jim Thomas, a forward on the Indiana basketball team, before UW's Tim Krumrei in the 10th round; the Bucks pick­ing Jerry "Ice" Reynolds be­fore UW-Stevens Point and Milwaukee South Division's Terry Porter in the first round; the Bucks picking both Todd Day and Lee Mayberry before Milwaukee Washington's Latrell Sprewell in the first round last year; and finally, the Packers selecting Buckley before UW product Troy Vincent last year.

C'mon Terrell, Packer fans finally have something to get excited about this year, don't screw it up.—PK

You heard it here first: Yes, the UWM men's basket­ball team is losing three im­

portant seniors in Craig Greene, Marc Mitchell and Ray Perine, but the team will still be strong.Returning to the lineup will be a pair of super sophs in Eugene Sims and Mark Briggs. Pat Easterlin, Gorey Statham and Tim Ricks will be the seniors. All five of these players should contribute.

But the pivotal player will be Michael Hughes. A transfer from Nebraska, Hughes is a typical UWM three-spot player with a ton of offensive poten­tial. He could put up some big-time numbers. Juco player Walter Wilson should be ad­equate at the point and Nathan Schrameyer might help out a bit in the post.

If Steve Antrim can sign the big man he's seeking to be UWM's fifth recruit, another 20-win will be in the making.--PK

Congrats to the TIMES: It isn't too often that the TIMES (the conservative rag that play­fully calls itself a campus news­paper) gets much praise from the sports department, but this is one of those occasions. I really have to compliment the sports staff on its sports section from the April 26 issue. I think it really showed their knowledge and commitment to sports here on the UWM cam­pus. It was definitely the most worthwhile and well-written sec­tion of the entire paper. Quite possibly the best sports section in the TIMES since the spring of 1991. Try to get a copy of the April 26 issue of the TIMES and compare their sports section to ours. It will show what paper actually has something to say about sports here on the UWM campus and abroad, and which paper is clueless.~PK

and did a good job. Overall, I can't complain. It was one of the best years we've had since I've been here."

Rubino sees a very bright future ahead for his teams.

"It was a good experience for the freshmen," he said. "They'll have to work hard over the summer to be even better next season, starting with cross country."

"I definitely have high ex­pectations for next season."

UWM will perform at the prestigious National Invita­tional Meet this weekend in Indianapolis. The meet takes, place at the site of the 1987 Pan-American Games..

Looks like a Vivarin night.

It's 10 PM. You've crammed for finals all week. Took two today. And

now you've got to pack an entire semester's worth of Philosophy into

one take-home exam, in one night. But how do you stay awake when

you're totally wiped? Revive with Vivarin. Safe as coffee,

Vivarin helps keep you awake and mentally alert for hours.

So when you have pen in hand, but sleep on the brain,

make it a Vivarin night!

Panther baseball team gets smacked by St. Xavier By Paul Krueger

Scheduled to play six games since last Sunday, the Univer­sity of Wisconsin-Milwaukee baseball team played only one. In that game Sunday, the Pan­thers were smacked by St. Xavier 15-4.

The loss to St. Xavier dropped UWM's record to 9-14 with 38 games cancelled up to this point, including two

scheduled against Northeast­ern Illinois yesterday.

Craig Scheffler, one of UWM's most consistent pitch­ers, was stung by the long ball against St. Xavier. Of the 10 runs Scheffler gave up, seven came directly as the result of a pair of dingers.

"He made a couple bad pitches and they capitalized," UWM Coach Scott Kugi said of Scheffler. "His velocity was

good and his breaking ball was sharp, but he didn't have great location. His command could've been better. Like the good hitters those guys are, they took advantage of his mis­takes. Tomorrow (Thursday) is his last start and we hope he ends the season on a good note."

In the first inning a two-out, three-run shot off Scheffler pushed the St. Xavier

lead to 4-0. But UWM got back into the game with a homer of its own.

In the top of the fourth, Tim Mommaerts and Pete Jankowski hit back-to-back singles to open the inning. Steve Klawitter followed with a homer to pull the Panthers within one at 4-3.

It stayed that way until the bottom of the fifth, when St. Xavier scored four. After strik­ing out the leadoff batter, Scheffler surrendered a single and a pair of walks which set the stage for a grand slam.

UWM scored a run in the top of the sixth, but St. Xavier exploded for seven runs in the bottom half of the inning to put the game out of reach.

As the season draws to a close, seniors Joel Welder, Robert Weber and Jankowski must feel the frustration of a lost season.

"I really feel terrible for the seniors," Kugi said. "The kids are probably taking it bet­ter than I am. I'm really proud of how our seniors have re­sponded. They've been ready all season."

All three of the seniors have ended their careers strongly. Jankowski has the highest av­erage of any everyday player at .380 and his on-base per­centage of .482 is fantastic. He's second on the team with 19 runs scored.

Welder is hitting .329 and leads the team with three home runs. Weber leads the team with a 3.38 ERA and has eight

strikeouts in 10-plus innings of relief work. He's also tied for the team lead with two wins and has no losses.

While the seniors have done well, there have been several other pleasant developments. Among those have been the emergence of junior Brian Powers and freshman Erik Olson as solid players.

"Brian is swinging the bat well," Kugi said. "He's made a vast improvement [at the plate] over last year. The addi­tion of Erik as a catcher has been nice. He's done a great job as a freshman and it's good to know we'll have him for another three years."

Klawitter, a junior outfielder, has also had a great year. He's hitting .349 and leads the team with 26 RBI. His 10 two-baggers ranks him 11th nationally in doubles right now according to Kugi.

"He's emerged as the player we had hoped for," Kugi said of Klawitter. "I wouldn't call these guys surprises. They've worked hard and played up to their capa­bilities."

Mommearts and Joseph Fojut, who has shown great patience at the plate for a sophomore, also have put up strong numbers. Mommearts is hitting .314, sec­ond on the team with 19 RBI and has 18 runs. He's also drawn 14 walks with only one strikeout. Fojut has 16 walks with only five strikeouts and leads the team with 20 runs scored. He also has only two errors on the season.

No place in Bosnia Drumbeats of war rumble once again from the east. The drumbeats

cross the Atlantic and the Potomac and the Hudson., In what was once Yugoslavia now constitutes a slaughterhouse. In New York, the United Nations debates what action to take to stop

the killing. Should it be more force or should it be diplomacy? Continued aggression between the Serbs and Croats and Moslems

continues in what amounts to a one-thousand year war. hi New York, some are calling for a multi-national peacekeeping

force to stop the war in Bosnia. Yet in the end, it is the United States which is expected to step up first.

Once again the eyes of the world turn to the United States. We are called upon to cauterize a wound that festers.

We are called upon to sacrifice the lives of our young soldiers in order for the ultimate end: peace.

In the case of Iraq, many Republicans said force was necessary to remove Saddam Hussein form Kuwait. Many Democrats balked.

In the case of Bosnia, many Democrats say we need to act before all of the ethnic cleansing is completed. Now many Republicans wonder whether it is our place to quell a regional conflict. Republicans always want to go in knowing they are going to win.

War makes us hypocrites. One example is Hollywood. In the case of Iraq, much of Hollywood rallied around the "no blood

for oil," mantra used to protest Desert Storm. Now, those who protested Desert Storm have faxed a letter to President Clinton calling for swift intervention in Bosnia.

We are all hypocrites when it comes to what we want. We are worried by the genocide in Bosnia. We are worried about the

cost in human lives to the United States. We are paralyzed by a violent conscience. Do we stop the killing with further killing?

Monday, a man claimed tyranny grew stronger as it feasts upon weak responses and indifference. Before we know it will become worse, he said. History tells us this.

There should be no United States intervention in Bosnia. The killing has gone on too long already, we do not need it to spread.

Ralph Waldo Emerson said: "To live without duties is obscene." The duty of the United States is to promote peace in Bosnia through

diplomatic means. We cannot, should not and absolutely must not enter into the killing. For once we must find a different way. Slapdash peace proposals are not acceptable. Find a meaningful and lasting solution. We must not choose the path of war again.

LSU answers back An Open Letter to Dean Halloran: We of the Latin Student Union (LSU) find the timing of your

response to the Hispanic Studies issue amusing. When you consider the fact that the Hispanic Studies issue was brought up on the 5th of April, 1993, your lack of response to the issue until very recently warrants attention.

It is clear that you have sent a letter to the Post in hopes of getting the last word. We think this is simply an effort to neutralize our movement, a mobilization of students who seek to improve the image of this institution. Your attempt, if not appalling, is very insulting to our intelligence.

In your reply you mention that "this budget split signaled individuals occupying the positions would, through their teach­ing, research, and related activities, contribute to the University's commitment to Hispanic students and to increasing understand­ing of Hispanic culture at UWM."

LSU has not contradicted what the Hispanic Studies budget was intended for. Our issue, which you seem to continue to avoid, is that the professors who receive this 25 percent of their salary from the Hispanic Studies category have not visibly demonstrated a "contribution to the commitment of Hispanic culture at UWM."

The fact is that three of the professors are in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, a department which for the last several years has not taught a single course on the literature of Hispanics in the U.S. and which does not even have a course on Spanish as it is spoken by Hispanic groups in the United States. If any research related to U.S. Hispanics is being conducted in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, such research is not

Perspective:

What have I learned in college? By a nameless, faceless UWM graduate

On May 16, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's 1993 graduating class will attend com­mencement ceremonies at the MECCA Arena.

I will not be one of them. Oh, it's not that I won't be graduating. No, I have

accomplished that minor task. I have jumped through all of the necessary hoops.

Fulfilled all the requirements for my major. Check. Fulfilled all of my general education requirements.

Check. Grandpa thank you for the wonderful check. Check. Passed the writing test. Passed the math test. Paid

the 25 dollars it takes the university to sell your names to companies so the companies can send you stuff in the mail. Oops, I mean the 25 dollars necessary for the university to process your graduation, your files and send you the diploma in the mail - six weeks after the ceremony.

Supposedly, my diploma declares I have met the necessary requirements to make it in the real world.

Yet I know what my diploma truly declares is that I have acquired the necessary cynicism it takes to make it in the real world.

After one year at Northwestern University and three and one half years here, the thought of spending three hours in a hot and sweaty arena as some person claims we need to find a job and make the world a better place is not nearly as enticing as going golfing. Or being audited. While on fire.

No, I don't think the ceremonies are that bad, but don't the graduates deserve something better? Some­thing along the line of your loans being paid off. Something concrete and less symbolic.

But I know that won't happen. If I learned anything in college, it was to be realistic.

In addition to that brilliant piece of wisdom, college has imparted much wisdom upside my head. And with you, I want to share what I have learned. Who knows, you may benefit too.

What I have learned in college. 1. Alliteration and assonance. Duh, duh, duh. Eh,

eh, eh. 2. April really is the crudest month. Thanks to

Professor Robert Jones of the UWM English Depart­ment for that one.

3. You can't get there from here. 4. My freshman roommate at Northwestern, Colin

Doty, said, "Never trust girls named Jen." 5. Doodling is a great way to waste time in class.

6. Don't trust men named Colin Doty. 7. Lists are stupid. 8. Heavy drugs aren't for eeeeeeeeverybod-bod-

body. 9. Lists may be stupid, but they are profitable. Just

ask Dave Letterman. 10. Nobody is doing what they want to be doing. 11. History always repeats. 12. Majors are meant to be changed. 13. There's no such thing as a good $6 haircut. 14. Except for chicken patties, there is no dorm

food worth eating. 15. Linguistics and psychology are not sciences. 16. The Replacements are the Beatles of Ameri­

can garage bands. 17. People hate it when you crack your knuckles

in a lecture, especially if they are ones in your toes. 18. If you masticate too much, you'll go blind. 19. Curly was the misunderstood genius behind

the Three Stooges. 20. A good job is hard to find. 20.1 learned to count past 20. 21. God is dead. 22.1 learned what my mandible is from that geek

on the Encyclopedia Britannica commercials. 23. Water, water everywhere, but not a drop to

drink. 24.1 only cared about the classes I liked. 25. Friends don't let friends read the Times. 26. History always repeats. 27. What Buttafuoco means in Italian. 28. Republicans need to go back to kindergarten

in order to learn how to share. And spell. 29. Taco Bell is the greatest fast food. And

burgers are boring. 30. Warner Brothers cartoons are not only consis­

tently hilarious, but they are also great art. 31.1 never learned when to shut up. And so the list

goes on. 32. The difference between sublime and beautiful

is full frontal nudity. 33. Talk is cheap. And inexpensive, too. 34. Baseball was better in Brooklyn. 35. Mother jokes are funny. And so is your

mother. So, that is what I learned in college. Maybe we had

some of the same classes. It's a strange syllabus, granted, but this is what I have learned.

So, in closing what have I learned in college? Not much. But more than you. Good luck to all 1993 graduates.

college career, is probably in your future if you want any kind of real life. And last but not least, that after adding everything up, you have come to the conclusion that a college degree just isn't what it used to be.

Now, with the formalities of thoughts of your future out of the way, here are some wonderful tips from no less of an authority than a guy who's working four part-time jobs.

First off, it's important to make connections. Don't be afraid to talk to your instructors and ingest their opinions on how you should go about getting ready for employment. They already have jobs so they won't be as stingy about it as an out-of-work sports editor at a campus newspaper.

There are several amiable folks in UWM's mass communica­tion department. Gregg Hoffmann, Dave Berkman, Dennis Getto and Genevieve McBride (among others) have all given me advice on job opportunities and employment situations.

Now I wouldn'trecommendlurking around anyone's office, schmaltzing at every opportunity and generally being a royal pain in the ass, but your professors will probably help out if you ask for advice. Being a super-pest to profs and prospective employers might actually help you get a job, but it will probably also make everyone around you think you're a butthead.

Secondly, get as much experience as you can! There's no substitute for doing the job under fire. Such as staying up until 5 a.m. when a computer blows or a writer doesn't come through with a story, doing whatever it takes so that your section of the paper isn't blank. If you can make it through that, it will give you confidence. Write for a paper in the community or on campus. Get those clips! Even if your resume is a work of art, you won't get any looks without experience.

Thirdly, check and re-check your resume before sending it out. Have a copy editing specialist like Kay Magowan scan it. If your resume or cover letter has any mistakes, chances are it will end up being recycled.

Lastly, don't show up late or overly unkempt for an interview. I was three minutes late for an interview at the Milwaukee Sentinel two years ago and apparently was the talk of the staff after that faux pas. I walked into The Journal offices originally, got held up at both the front desk and elevator and rushed in a bit late. My solid experience and a good interview meant nothing at that point.

Chalk one up to learning the hard way. Anyway, a good deal of this article is interjected with sarcasm. But what

other way can you look at the present job situation? Finding a good job is serious business, but you have to keep your wits

about you. It probably won't come easy, but if you have the talent and the desire, finding a job won't be the worst experience of your life.

Stay open to suggestions JOBS from page 6

"Students need to network and be flexible. Students need to stay open to suggestions," Sinnwell said.

Sinnwell states that networking may be one of the most important things a graduate can do to find work.

"It's getting out and gathering information," Sinnwell said of networking. "Students do it all the time, but not to jobs."

"It's checking things, dropping off resumes and letting family and friends know what you are looking for."

In addition to networking,

Sinnwell offers other tips for gradu­ates.

—Use every single resource. --Go to your academic depart­

ment and look at the jobs boards. —Keep in touch with your pro­

fessors. Professors are often called with position openings. They may recommend you.

-Form a support group to keep things positive and productive. According to Sinnwell, one sup­

port group required each member to bring a rejection letter for ad­mittance to the meeting.

-Be ready to meet challenges. Sinnwell wants prospective

graduates to know the UWM Ca­reer Development Center still has workshops on resumes and inter­views.

UWM's Career Development Center is located on the first floor of Mellencamp Hall in room 128.

very much in evidence. On the issue of faculty in­

terest in a Hispanic Studies program, we conducted an in­terview with Professor Santiago Daydi-Tolson during our investigations. When asked if he had expressed interest in a Hispanic Studies program, he confirmed that he and pro­fessors Rolando Romero and Willian Velez, as well as other professors, were interested in implementing a Hispanic Stud­ies program.

The fact it has taken the College of Letters of Science several years to find a faclty person "who is knowledgeable about Hispanic Studies pro­grams and is interested in de­veloping and administering such a program at UWM" does not bode well for the future, given the demonstrated lack of commitment on the part of the College, in spite of your state­ment that such "an individual ... will join the faculty in Sep­tember."

Another fact that does not bode well for the future of

such a program under your leadership is your philosophy that non-departmental pro­grams "must be designed to self-destruct, to be easily phased out... " (Halloran, "To Reserve a Trend: Foreign Lit­eratures and the Humanities," Bulletin of the Association of Departments of Foreign Lan­guages, September 1972.

We are also aware that you have monumental power to ma­nipulate departments by with­holding salary increases, lim­iting travel, and controlling sabbatical leaves. These are devices you may well use as influencing factors to enhance your control over your subor­dinates to reflect your ideolo­gies and thereby undermine creative innovation which ben­efits the students.

Your continued effort to mask the issues regarding His­panic Studies is becoming more evident as the days go on. You mentioned that "in the fall of 1988, the SSOI Advisory Com­mittee — which included fac­ulty, students, and representa­tives of Milwaukee's Hispanic Community -- recommended

Sometimes it matters GRADES from page 7

"I tell students that it's probably better to be a 3.0 student in psych than 2.0 student in business," Mitchell said.

Mitchell said grades are still very important if students want to go to grad school, a course of action many take when they can't find a job after graduation. A 3.0 grade point average is considered to be necessary to get accepted to most grad pro­grams, but, according to Mitchell, it all depends on the number of applicants and the number of positions there are to fill.

So the best advice is to concentrate on getting good grades. If you get a few bad ones along the way, don't sweat it.

Try to learn from the experience, take responsibility for the grade you got and try to do better next semester.

that "the student academic ad­vising function of the Spanish-Speaking Outreach Institute be separated from its student re­cruitment and community out­reach functions."

What you fail to acknowl­edge is a memorandum of May 26 to you from Ricardo R. Fernandez (School fo Educa­tion, Desegregation Assistance Center) in which he wrote, "I am bothered by the lack of consultation that has existed with the SSOI Advisory Com­mittee in much of the decision­making that has taked place since last spring ... I have fol­lowed closely what has tran­spired. Much has been decided by the director (of the Advi­sory Committee) or by your office. I don't believe in serv­ing on committees that serve to rubberstamp decisions made earlier without consultation with the appropriate faculty/ s t a f f / s t u d e n t / c o m m u n i t y groups." Based on this memo­randum, it is clear that you intended to split an organiza­tion (SSOI) despite any recom­mendation you may have re­ceived from the faculty, staff, students, or community lead­ers.

We have discovered more evidence to refute your re­sponse. A survey that was part of a feasibility study and that was forwarded by you to then-Vice Chancellor John Schroeder, dated July 26, clearly proves that the SSOI in its original concept had dem­onstrated its ability to meet the needs of UWM students. Fur­thermore, it was recommended that "based on the responsi­bilities of the SSOI in increas­ing the enrollment and gradu­ation rates of Hispanic stu­

dents, there should be addi­tional academic staff positions to the SSOI, with a commensu­rate increase in the S & E budget." Based on this infor­mation and that fact that the SSOI was a successful pro­gram, why did you choose to split the SSOI? To LSU this looks like a clear indication of a "divide-and-conquer" tactic; a solid example of your indif­ference to what really benefits students. So, Dean Halloran, why did it take so long to begin responding to our concerns?

The simple fact is that your

leadership has nurtured a plan-

Letter:

tation mentality and a network of "good ole boys" who dis­guise their ineffective pro­grams with empty words of cultural diversity awareness. You, sir, are an enemy of the students. I am reminded of a remark my fathers once made: "I'd rather surround myself with my enemies rather than my friends, for my enemies are easy to predict." You, sir, are easy to predict.

Media slants picture Dear Editor:

I am writing to express my concern over recent calls for American intervention in Bosnia-Herzegovina. The last thing the world should do is interfere in a civil war. This whole conflict started when the Western powers foolishly recognized the unilateral secession of Bosnia and Croatia from Yugoslavia. This was a direct insult and threat to the Serbian people.

This conflict dates back centuries, and while there are atrocities on both sides there has been a massive propaganda campaign against the Serbs to the point where the media is responsible for the demonization of the Serbian people. This propaganda campaign is evident in the fact that Croatian and Muslim authorities have hired public relations firms to get the world to win their war and it's working.

Although the Serbs are the aggressors, it is important to note that they're protecting the Bosnian/Serbian population against Muslim/ Croatian attacks. Muslims and Croats are committing just as many atrocities as the Serbs, there is no good guy, no bad guy as the media likes to show. Considering that the Croatian president questions the existence of the Holocaust and has Nazi ties and the fact that 750,000 Serbs were slaughtered by the Croatian/Muslim Nazi puppet states of WWII, this war should be left alone.

I also think it's sickening that the media has failed to cover a true genocide happening in the world today. Specifically, the million black Christians and Animists who have been slaughtered by the Arab Sudanese Muslim government.

Thank you, Ron Carmichael

TEMPS from page 8 lassifteds an ability to get along with other people.

When asked about men in clerical positions, Kuether said they place quite a few. They tend to have extremely high skills and excellent typing speeds, she said.

"I don't think I've had one bad evaluation for a man," Kuether said.

Dunhill attempts to place employees within one week. Dunhill Services has two offices in town. One is located at 735

N. Water St. in the Firstar Building, Suite 185, 272-4860. Another is located at 2300 N. Mayfair Rd., 771-1399.

Tempsplus expects would-be employees to provide a six month job history with one company and own a telephone.

When potential employees come in they are given a one- to two-hour test evaluating clerical and computer skills.

An interview follows. Janet Swiecichowski, staffing coordi­nator for Tempsplus, instructs applicants to bring the names and phone numbers of three references to their inter\.ews.

Tempsplus not only places in office/clerical environments, but also unskilled light industrial positions.

Light industrial people must simply have a desire to work and a solid work history, said Swiecichowski.

Tempsplus is located at 622 N. Water - 289-9210. School ends today and finals will be done in nine days. If you

still need a summer job, give one of these three temporary services a call, or any one of the many services in Milwaukee. They may be able to provide the answer to your employment question.
