Yes, this campus has seen its share of intolerance and >-*td - r stupidity. Complaints have always been problematic. Informal ones do IOUJT nothing, while formal complaints reveal the accuser and subject them to retaliation. The legal system has been stacked against the victim, with a State legislative investigation finding the University's legal department improperly siding with the accused from the first stages of proceeding. But UWM's lack of past sincerity in dealing with this real problem leads us to question the solutions now proposed. For some time now, the chancellor has utilized a mode of faculty LEARN YOUR PLACE, GIRL! discipline known as the "administrative route." This clever instrument neatly gets around some of the regular hurdles to cleaning house, such GO BACK TO WE CLOSET as due process for the accused. What it does is simply ignore the rules for faculty discipline adopted by the regents, which rely on faculty to inves­ WHEREYOUBELONG/- tigate and recommend a sanction, and lets the chancellor decide after one side has had its say. (The accused can reply, but without the opportunity to fully know and examine the accusation and the accuser.) The Faculty Senate will soon be considering a request that Chapman Hall desist from applying the illegal process. Even if the civil liberties objections to it could be overcome, the "route" dead ends when it encounters state law. The chancellor derives his only authority in this area from the regents and the faculty. But Provost Ken Walters, P.J. Boylan and lawyers up and down the UW have perjured themselves playing Humpty Dumpty with the truth, twisting together the only tender bits ofthe law that even mention a role for the chancellor.

Rain was probably the last thing the Milwaukee Brewers wanted to see on opening day on April 6. Mother Nature kept her promise by keeping the skies clear of moisture, but she was helpless to stop the rain of souvenir baseballs that marred an otherwise respectable 5-3 Brewers win against the Texas Rangers. Rowdy fans pelted the Milwaukee County Stadium field with souvenir baseballs causing two delays and almost forcing the Brew Crew to forfeit the game. Brewers coach Phil Garner even had to plead with the fans like a father to his mischievous children to stop the foolishness so that game could continue. As it turned out however, the shower of balls was only the center­ piece for a showcase of arrests of 119 people for a number of county ordinance violations that included: throwing objects onto the field; public drunkenness; bringing intoxicants into the stadium; public urination; and battery. While there is no excuse for over anxious and idiotic behavior on the part of some fans, you have to question the management logic in giving away baseballs as a promotional event for an opening day game. With tens of thousands of people gathering together on a day that is no less sober than a fiat party during hell week, you have to wonder why anyone would want to arm these joyous mobs with projectiles. Following this line of logic it seems possible that next season baseball officials will promote long neck bottle day, whereby fans will be given a choice of their favorite beverage in a glass before the game. Restoring order in the stands during a game like this would be more chaotic than stopping an Al Bundy fight in the Jiggly Room. Milwaukee was not the only to team to give away the souvenirs, but several other teams also gave away the free baseballs. It seems that Kansas City Royals officials' were also royally embarrassed after fans there threw their free baseballs onto the field. Major league forfeits seemed to be on the tips of everyone's tongues last Monday. For the Milwaukee Brewers, the baseball showers would have been enough for one day's worth of an Excedrin headache. But Monday promised more than just time delays and arrests. Brewers fans who were courageous enough to brave the cold weather were slapped with a bitter twinge thanks to a wind chill that plummeted into" the teens. Bursting water pipes also highlighted the bizarre day and doused an already icy crowd. All in all, it is a wonder that the Brewers game was played to its y_f N KILLER. continuation. Many people have described last Monday's fracas as the worst in the Brewers' home opener history. Whatever.
