Educators advocate Spring fling proposed alternatives in math curriculum by Chris Dombrowski

ew standards emphasizing concepts rather than calculations should sweep math departments in the nation's schools during Nthe next decade and the changes also will be felt at the college level, according to high school and college educators. The Commission on Standards for School Mathematics released a report March 20 recommending that students spend more time learn­ ing to apply math concepts and solve problems, and less time scratch­ ing out paper and pencil calculations. The commission is a subgroup of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the recommendations have been endorsed by the National Education Association and the American Federation of Teachers. "I have confidence we will put these changes through over time," said Henry Kepner, a professor in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at UWM who supports the proposed changes. Kepner and the department already work closely with Milwaukee Public Schools in instituting many of the changes called for in the report Kepner summed up the recommendations in two major concepts: • The changes should make students comfortable with statistical reasoning to the extent that they can read and understand the sort of statistics used in USA Today graphs, which he called "statistical litera­ cy as a way to communicate ideas." • The changes will promote heavy usage of calculators as tools to do the "messy work" of mathematics, leaving more room for emphasis on understanding the concepts behind the calculations. Kepner expected some backlash in the implementation of the stand­ —Post photo by Rick Leonard ards, especially with the emphasis on the use of calculators.

by David Schwabe

Springfield, Mass. hen a team outscores another by a 25-6 margin in the last 10 minutes of a game, it usually results in a decisive win. W And it did. Unfortunately for the UWM Panther basketball squad, they were not the ones who dominated the final minutes of play. The Panthers lost a tough, 93-84 contest to the Southeast Missouri State Indians in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division II Basketball Tournament held Thursday in the Springfield (Mass.) Civic Center. The loss cut the Panthers' first-ever trip to the Division II tournament short, but UWM finished with the best record in its' history at 24-7. "There's no reason to be down," senior Clarence Wright said after the game. "As far as the season goes, we had a great year." Coach Steve Antrim echoed Wright's sentiments. "The season was great," Antrim said. "Every team from now on will be compared to this team. I told them in the locker room that I was very proud of them and that they did a lot for the program. We went from a bad Division III team to a Division II contender in just two years."

'M UWM PANTHERS The Panthers pulled out to an 11-point lead in the first half, in part sparked by Darryl Arnold's strong play off the bench. Arnold finished with 13 points in the game, scoring 10 in the first half alone. 9 of his 10 rebounds also came in the first half. Rob Kukla scored all of his 11 points in the first half and Wright scored 10 of his game-high 22 points in the first half. But the Indians did not give up. Instead, SEMO, a team that had won the six of the last eight Division II regional titles, took advantage of the Panthers' inexperience and cut the lead to one at half, 49-48. The second half started much like the first, with UWM slowly pulling away from the Indians, but just five minutes into the half, Wright picked up his fourth foul, slowing him down for the rest of the game. "It slowed me up a bit, but I've played with four fouls before" Wright said. "(You) just have to make more descisions and not make a bad play." —Post photo by David Schwabe Panther Maurice Poole drives the lane against Southeast Missouri State at the NCAA tournament. "We've never won a game Clarence hasn't finished," Antrim said. "So I had to keep pulling him in and out when we got in trouble." The lead hovered around three to five points for most of the half un­ til Billy Ross put the Panthers up by 10 with just 10:21 left in the con­ test. But it was from here on in where SEMO turned their game up a notch and the Panthers went cold. ISRAEL AND THE Panther senior Maurice Turner also got into foul trouble, picking up his fifth with over three and a half minutes left "Near the end, I wanted to go with Turner and Clarence," Antrim said. "Turner is the ball handler and when he fouled out, Clarence had PALESTINIANS; to take over. Normally, when Turner is the main ball handler, it allows Clarence to get open more often." "Usually I'm.a defensive guy and the point guard and that way I fire up our squad," Turner said. "I had two quick ones (fouls) and I'm still not so sure about the last one." PAST Other key factors in SEMO's victory were rebounding and getting to the foul stripe. "They really manhandled us on the boards, especially at the center position," Antrim said.. The Indians' Malcolm Henry pulled down 16 rebounds and scored 15 points. Ray Pugh also scored 15 for the Indians and Earnest Taylor led them with 19 points. Panther Andy Ronan finished with eight re­ i lifet bounds and 20 points. The Indians also made 19-23 free throws in the second half com­ pared to 1-3 for the Panthers. "Free throws win games," SEMO coach Ron Schumate said. "I told my assistant if we hit 'em (free throws) we'll win. So we hit 'em and AND won." "We are a tempo team," Antrim said. "With our style of play, that is the way we score. Up and down." "We started out well, but they got a spurt going at the end and we weren't able to slow it down," Ross said. FUTURE The Indians eventually went on to the championship game where they lost to North Carolina Central 73-46. They beat UC- Riverside 84-83 in overtime to win the semifinal round. UWM beat Augustana in the first round of the regional tournament in Greeley Colorado, 99-95. Ronan was high scorer with 27. "It was maybe Ronan's best of the year," Antrim said. "He was a big part of it." The game was tied 95-95 with just 16 seconds left in the game when DR. YOSEF QLMERT Arnold hit a jumper from the baseline. Wright then stole the inbounds pass and was fouled. He made both free throws and gave UWM the win. In the championship game, the Panthers faced the host Nothern MON APRIL3 12:00 Colorado Bears in a wild game won by UWM 89-88 in overtime. With 20 seconds left, Wright took two consecutive three pointers and finally hit his third to send the game into overtime. "It was the wildest finish I've seen in 20 years," Antrim said. UNION ART GALLERY In overtime, Ronan hit a shot with 10 seconds left to give UWM the lead. Turner fouled John Olander with three seconds left and he missed both, giving UWM the win. Ross was high scorer with 23. CAMPUS ORGANIZATION FOR ISRAEL "Billy played his best game ever here at UWM," Antrim said.

Agnes of God chal­ lenges you to make a decision, and then challenges that decision. Amy Zeh gives a wonderfully insightful portrayal of Agnes, the young innocent The ease with which she traverses the emotional spectrum, along with her subtle inflections of character, have a hypnotizing effect. Zeh takes on an extremely complex role — Ag­ nes is abused and confined as a child, and then hidden in a convent as a young adult; she has never seen the outside world. Denied a normal life, she is consequently not what is considered a "normal" person. During the course of the play she has little idea of what has actually happened, and the significance of it.

Trickle-down theory GEE W1ILLIKERS,SUNUNU... is just that for poorest WE'RE NOT ADRIFT, ARE WE?

The economic verdict is finally in on the last eight years, and it doesn't look good for the Reagan/Bush legacy: the rich did get richeran d the poor did get poorer between 1979 and 1987. Taking inflation into account, the average "family of four" income of the poorest fifth of the population declined by 6.1 percent while the richest 20 percent saw its income climb by 111 percent, according to the House Ways and Means Committee. Committee member Thomas Downey (D-New York) said the disparity was created by circumstances beyond the government's control, adding "the invisible hand of the marketplace has got to be tempered by the just hand of the government" Wendell Primus, chief economist to the committee stressed the non­ governmental factors that contributed to the disparity, focusing upon changes in family composition and wage distribution. Primus cites the wealthest sector's increase as evidence of the spread of two-income families among the richan d the increase in single mothers with children for the decline among the poorest He said that "these are the fatherless children, the welfare-dependentJf you're a teen-ager and have a child, the chances are that you'll stay on welfare until all your children reach the age of 18." The study's income figures include Social Security payments, food stamps, unemployment insurance and other government benefits. These official analyses of the increase in disparity are actually little more than discriptions of the situation — hardly explanations. The committee never asked why the family structure and wage distribution changed; the report ignored the changes in societal structure, hence placing the blame (or credit, depending upon which end of the spectrum is examined) on the individual — not the environment created by Reaganomics. The supply-side mythology of the Reagan/Bush administration believed that encouraging an environment in which capital could flourish would prompt the wealthier segments of society to accumulate that capital which would then trickle-down so that the rest of society could feast on the fruits of a minimally- regulated economy. The theory is half-right — the wealthy Perspective did accumulate that capital, just very little of it trickled- down. Let's face it Thomas Downey's "just hand of the government" created the problem: setting loose the invisible hand that beat the hell out of the poor, while delivering economic prosperity to the already wealthy. Unless the Congressional report and others like it begin to acknowledge this Invisible Hand' doesn't reach poor failure in national policy the disparity rift is bound to widen. In a society like ours, leaving these policies unchanged will produce a few more Donald Trumps, but what happens when those most denied the benefits of society have nothing left to be taken from them in this obscenely unbalanced in the American welfare system Darwinian experiment? similarity is there. by Ron Schultz In the last eight years the poorest people in the Unit­ ed States have gotten poorer while the richest have The Random House College Dictionary: Welfare: 1) gotten richer.
