Watch for the Packers to switch to defense similar to a 4-3. But the signing of Jones does raise a few questions for Packer fans. Where will they get the money to sign Brett Favre, Jackie Harris, Johnny Holland, Edgar Bennett, Darrell Thompson and Brian Wagner? Look for Jackie Harris to receive a huge effort from the Bucs, especially if the Packers offer the Bucs running back Reggie Cobb a contract. The Packers still own the rights to Harris, but if he's offered anything over $2 million, he'll be gone. On the Brett Favre front, it's been reported that the two sides are a mere $1 million dollars apart. Since Favre can no longer negotiate with any other team, it's possible he may hold out, which would put a damper on the Packers' run for the Super Bowl. A more likely option for Favre will be to sign a lower, one-year deal and be named a franchise player in 1995.-Matt Michaelis JOIN f m

Apathy abounds SEE? WE TOLD YOU WE DIDN HAVE THE ABILITY TO HALT SERB At a university filled with students 25,000 strong, it would seem that AGGRESSION AGAINST J more would take a vested interest in what is going on around them. GORAZDE/ mmm~fl. Instead, student apathy at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee has reached endemic proportions, and no cure is in sight. In the recent elections for the Union Policy Board, less than 900 votes were cast over two days. Even though UPB Chair-elect Rich Lambrecht was excited about his victory, both he and Secretary-elect Wade Moffett called the voter turnout "disappointing." In the recent birth of the Students for the Liberation of UWM, one of the major concerns cited was a high degree of student apathy, an obstacle that must be overcome if that group is to fully serve its purpose. Finally, we have the upcoming elections for the Student Association, which take place April 26-27. According to figures circulated by the Independent Election Commission on April 8,1994, there are currently 12 vacancies in the Senate, which is comprised of 35 seats. This means that one-third of the student representation at UWM is missing, and no one cares! To make matters worse, Robert Miranda and Dave Blanchard are running on the RAVE ticket, and they are running uncontested! Traditional American elections have historically had two or more candidates running for one office, that's why they are called elections and not assumptions. These points effectively illustrate the level of student apathy at UWM. Students pay their tuition, go to classes, hang out in the Gasthaus, Rec Center or Union in their free time, and go home. No attention is given to this university as an institution. It was here before we were and will be here long after we are gone. The students ofth e future deserve to have us - their "forefathers" in higher education work to make UWM the best place possible for students, much like our forefathers did for this country. Perspective But, then again, perhaps this editorial is a waste of space, as it will fall on deaf ears and blind eyes. Big spending good for business
