Nolan STUDENTS MAKE THE PARKS/DE LOVE CONNECTION Twoof our fellow students at Parkslde, Martha Villalobas and Richard C. Nolan, are engaged and have plans to be married on August 12th, 1995. Richard recallsthe firsttime they ever mel .~ was at a B5U Valentines Daydance two years ago. I saw Martha around campus many ; timesbefore but cou Id never buildup enough courage to ask her out Once we did meet, it wasdefinitely love at first sight. " , Overthe past two years they havefound that they have alot in oommon. They both love Chinese food, watching movies and many other activities. Most ofall,they enjoy each others company no matter what it is they are doing. This past Valentine's Day, Richard proposed to Martha ina very unique way. Seeing as Martha's parents don't speak flu- ent English and Richard can't speakSpanish very well, he decided to make a create a card written in Spanish, asking Martha's parents, who are very special to him, for their blessings. Martha had no idea the card said thisbecause Rlchard told her the cardwas a joke and asked her to playalong. When Richard gave the card to Martha's parents, he handed a bottle of bubbles to Martha and told her to blow them while her parents were "'adlng because it was part of the joke. Not knowing what was about to happen she played I along. just as her father finished "'adlng the card Martha noticed the engagement ring that Richard had attached to the handle of the bubbles. Martha explained what shethought at the moment, "I had no idea he was going to ask meto marry him, so Ithought he Wasjust kidding. Once I real- lzed he was serious, 1was shocked I" When asked what their friends thought about the whole situa- tion/ Richard replied, "Martha is my best friend and is very special to me. Although my friends tease me alot about being engaged, Iknow deep down they "'ally care and are happy for us," The couple has just started to plan the wedding and both agree that it's alot of hard work. "Although we are perfect for each other, the arranging of the wedding has definitely brought about a few arguments." Martha explained with a smile. Besides planning the wedding, Richard and Martha lead very busy lives. Martha plans to grad- uate in May of 1996 with a major in Spanish and a minor in communications. This semester she is carrying thirteen credits and working two jobs. Currently she is working at a doctor's office as a Spanish interpreter for about twenty-one hours a week. She also works in the ARCfor four hours a week. When Martha gets free time outside of school and work, she likes to exercise, go dancing and hang out with her friends. Richard, also carrying thirteen credits, has two more years to go after this year. He has two jobs and works about twenty-two hours a week as a homeless liai- son. He is working for commu- nity impact which is subcontract- ed to Kenosha Unified school district. On Tuesday and Thursday Richard also works at the Shalom Center, which is a center for homeless children. His job here is to do many differ- ent things such as, help the chil- dren with their homework, make sure they get their correct vacci- nations each year and make sure each child is attending school. Richard, like Martha, works in the ARCfor about two hours a week. Outside of school and work, Richard plays semi-pro football for the Racine Raiders, and hopes to someday play for the NFL. When asked who his favorite pro player was he answered, without even thinking, "Definitely Deion Sanders." Although Richard and Martha lead very busy lives, they always find the time for each other, and know that no matter what the future might bring for each of them, they will always be togeth- er. Congratulations, Richard and Martha. Visionary Nature Poetry By Diane Scering A special performance of Walt Whitman's poetry by Eco-Activist poets jeff Poniewaz and Antler inspired those in attendance on march 1st, English Dept. chair, Don Kummings, one of America's foremost experts on "the cosmic bard" arranged the Whitman reading for U.W.P. and appeared delighted with the event Both from Milwaukee, Jeff Poniewaz and Antler (yes, that is his full, legal name) are dedicat- ed to the preservation of Earth in its natural state. "Earth, My Likeness ...The Visionary Nature Poetry of Walt Whitman" was a performance like none other. Imagine a pair of plaid fiannel- clad poets extolling, behind podi- ums, the praises of the "laughing philosoph", intermingled with photographs of Whitman and Mother Earth. For years, Antler has made his living reading poems around America, trying to follow Whitman's invocation of the poet as "itinerant gladness scatterer". Antler's poetry has apperared in over 250 periodi- cals and anthologies Including Earth Prayers: Erotic By Nature: Gay & Lesbian Poetry of our Time: and The lourney Home: Ihe Literature of Wisconsin Through Four Centuries. Jeff Poniewaz (pronounced Poe- nYeah-VAHsh, Polish for "Because") currently teaches "Literature of Ecological vision" a course he devised for U.W.M. His Eco-Activism spans from local urban greenspace struggles to the global rainforest catastro- phe. His collection of Eco- Poems, Dolphin Leaping in the Milky Way, is in its thlrdprlnting, Whitman's main objective in his poetry was to define life as a cycle of Birth, Life, Death and resurrection. His subjects ranged from anti-slavery messages, eroti- cism, women, God as Nature, the procreative urge and other meta- physicai, spiritual and natural ideas. Antler described Whitman's idea of humanity as having a II mys terious kind-of sexy self,..ifonly they would let it out". Whitman encouraged LIV- ING this life before we die-before we become a /o'blade of grass". In the 1950's Jack Kerouac's Qn The Road moved an entire generation to experience nature's open road. Almost 100 years earlier Wlat Whitman's "Song of the Open Road" suggested a sim- ilar solution I Let's Gol The Road is before us You will see I have tried it My own feet have tried it well Be not detained. Letthe paper remain on the desk, unwritten Qur own Professor Kummings was also moved by Whitman's message as he entitled his book of poems The Open Road Trip. Unfortunately, poetry does not draw much of a crow as in years past. Poets such as Robert Frost and Marianne Moore could often be seen on Johnny Carson or other talk shows. Dr. Kummings fears poor attendance to performances such as "Earth, My Likeness" may deter future artists from visiting our campus. Poetry's objective is to provide a sense of universiality. The nature poetry performed by our visiting poets on tuesday exhibited a con- cern for our environment and a hope for our earth. In his poetry tomb ,Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman defines a blade of grass, and seems to be defining our greenspace struggles: /II guess it must be the flag of our disposi- tion/ out of hopeful greenstuff woven". Student Debate Physical Education Expansion Project by Steven ryloore, Editor-in-Chief Throughout this semester, sev- eral administrators and students have continued negotiations with the UW System and the State for construction of a major expan- sion to our PE/Athletics Building. The expansions will put under roof approximately 70,000 square feet of multi-purpose floor space enclosing an indoor track and surrounded by expanded facilities for athletic and intra- mural activity. However, this dream of a possible expansion will not become reality unless students vote in favor of the refer- endum. On March 9-10, students across campus will be voting on whether or not to support a refer- endum which is expected to cost each student an additional $6.00 Ref semester (a grand total of $700,000 from the students). "A 'yes' vote is essential to our abili- ty to move forward with this major addition to the campus," said Interim Chancellor john C. Stockwell. The expansion will cost about $9.25 million. The State, if it approves construction, wiIIrequire that 15% of that amount be raised from "private" sources, or about $1.4 million, Stockwell added. "I am very pleased to note that at least half ($700,000) of that $1.4 million will be raised from volunteer donors in the Racine/Kenosha counties who see the need for this faciIityand the benefits it will bring to the students, to the University's academic and athlet- ic programs, and to the region," he said. According to Stockwell, the current condition of the pE/Athletics Building is far below the standard. -tt's a well main- tained dump. It is simply far below the standard. it was undersized from the very begin- ning and we knew that, and it is time that we had a facility that is up to the standard of our cam- pus," he said. "'Thestudents are going to be proud of this greatly expanded facility. Itwill be a building that we will be extreme- ly proud of." We run the best cross-country in the nation and we shouId have the same for our taclllttes, he added. B.].Brucker and Tracy Pees are two students who represented the student body on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion. /0'1 was very excited about the possible expan- sion. As a student athlete, I know that it is needed. It's also needed for instructional and recreational purposes. Fromthe student athlete perspective, the gym is always crowded," said Tracy Pees, Parkside senior and sports athlete. "We have prac- tices at 9:00 at night and also at 6:00 in the morning. When you get home from practice at mid- night, it's really hard to study. It ruins your day having to practice all of the time. I know I may not be here to see it and to use it. But I know that each student will benefit from it," she said. Pees stated that the current PE facility is not large enough to accommodate the large student body that we have here on cam- pus. IiJhere are not enough hours in the day for everyone to use our facility: she said. Pees plays softball and the team must prac- tice in the wrestling room where the batting cage is located, "We cannot use it when the wrestlers are practicing. We can't use the room an hour before because the wrestlers must have their mat cleaned. The baseball players also use the same mat and so do the cheerleaders during practice. This is a room with mats where these wrestlers are supposed to roll around on. The dirt gets into the mats and into their skin and it is just disgusting," she said. Pees said that the track and field teams are also affected by the current conditions of the PE facility. "I know that the track and field team have to come at 6:00 in the morning to run indoors, especially when it is too cold to run outside. They do this early in the morning so that they do not get hit by things flying oem/on pg2 2 THE 54TH ANNUAL MILWAUKEE SENTINEL SPORTS SHOW AT MECCA CONVENTION CENTER by Ray Sasso Milwaukee, Wis.-The Milwaukee sentinel Sporn Show, while retaining and bringing back some of their traditional attrac- tions, has added a totally new twist to their ten day spectacular. Traditionally, the Milwaukee Sentinei Sporn Show has attract- ed outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. Campers, fishers, hikers, manufacturers, retailers, inven- tors, and experts all share com- mon goals to see and show what's new for the 1994 season. All this takes place at MECCA from Friday, March 11 to Sunday, March 20. For the first time, the Arena will be transformed into the Extreme Sporn Arena. The popu- lar Rock Ciimbing Wall will anchor the area. Indy cars, stock cars, in-line skating, BMX and roller hockey demonstrations, motorcycles, paint ball, jet skis, snowmobiles and powered para- chutes will be just a few of the new things visitors can check out. The MACCA Fund will be raffling off autographed merchan- dise. The Scheer Lumberjack Show of Champions from years ago will be on the GMC Main Stage. Karate shows and dog retrieving will also be featured on the main stage. Competitors returning to the Sporn Show include the Archery Tournament, the Trout Stream, the Hawg Trough, and the Birdhouse/Birdfeeder Competition. The comedy cook- ing team of Mad Dog and Merill will also be there. Nationally renowned artists wi II captivate attendees at the WiIdlife and Sporting Art Gallery. New this year is the "Fishing Hall of Fame" which will feature a portion of the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame from Hayward, Wisconsin. Several ward winning fish will be featured. The Mercury Marine Theatre will be the site of all the semi- nars. Roland Martin, Babe Winkelman, Gary Parsons, Daryl Christensen, Greg Bohn, Joe Bucher, Pete Maina, and the MWC 1993 Champ Team of Gary Gray and BiII Klotzbuecher will talk fishing. jeff Engel and Doug Hoskins will talk turkeys while Bob Kinney will speak about whitetail deer. Nate Vance will discuss elk calling and Pat Ehlers will speak on the art of fly fishing. Manufacturers of rods, reels, and outfitters including getaway vacations will encompass whole sections of the Sentinel Sporn Show. St. Croix rods of Park Falls, Wisconsin, according to jeff Schluter, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, "will be repre- sented by proangler and lecturer Tom Harris of Racine." Jeff von Almer will cover the St. Croix booth as the factory representa- tive. Mirrocralt boats will be repre- sented by boat dealer jatenskv's Sport and Marine of Kenosha. Main Marine and Ski of Racine will also be represented at Milwaukee Sentinel Sporn Show. Tickets for the show are $6.50 for adults, $S.OO in advance and $2.S0 for children and can be purchased at Kohl's Food Store, the MECCA Box Office or in advance by calling the Journal/Sentinel Public Service Bureau at 1-800-876-3320 STUDENTS DECIDE, FROM PG. 1 around during the day." She fur- ther explained that all teams- baseball, softball, basketball teams-all have to practice at night. /I And when the soccer team uses the gym, they use almost all of the space. Parkside also has a big intramural basket- ball program which requires all the basketball courts at once. When this goes on, nothing else can go on. All of these events are just an inconvenience to the students." According to Pecs, a non-ath- iete can also benefit from the new expansion. "The field house, which is the bulk of the addition, is huge---multl-purpose floors and dividers. This space can be used for non-athletic activities such as conventions, car shows, and any extracurricu- lar activities." Tracy Pecs believes that the additional $8.00 a semester, over a twenty year time period, is not a burden for students. "If you think about it $8.00 a semester is not much. A majority of students that attend Parkside, and who live in Kenosha and Racine, will benefit from this new expansion. it wiIIbenefit both communities." B.j. Brucker, the other student on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion, stated that lithe university very much needs a new expansion physical education building. It is simply inadequate for the general students." Brucker was a soccer player during his first years here at Parkside. "And we had to practice in the evenings from 10 till 12 during the off season. just because of the gym is filled with classes, filled with intramural, filled with practices all day-it's just never open. The space is inadequate for the large amount of students here," he said. Brucker stated that during his first years he also noticed that the weight room was not suitable for students. IIWhen I first came here, I discovered that the weight room was terrible. I also noticed that Parks ide did not have a suit- able field house. i went to a high school of 500 students and we had better equipment than Parkside." Brucker further stated that this new athletic building is not only a building for athletes. "The purpose is multi-purpose use that will benefit the entire university as a whole," he added. "When students vote on this ref- erendum, they have to realize that there is no option here. Right now the option is a physi- cal education expansion. That is alii Our building is 2S years old and students have been com- plaining about it for years." Brucker also believes that the additional increase upon students is fair. "The $8.00 is reasonable) For the students who use the building knows the problems. The people who do not use the building should go and see it, and then they wili realize that the $B.OO Is worth it. People who are against the referendum should open their eyes and see how it could benefit them." Brucker maintains that students will vote on the referendum only if PSGA (Parks ide Student Government Association) informs and encourages the students. "PSGA should be telling the stu- dents to vote. Ifthey want a turn out, PSGA needs to try. They watch the average student walk by, who are generally freshman and sophomore students, and let them get away without voting. These students are generally unaware of what is going on campus. "I think that this whole project has come together well, especial- ly the students and community," said William W. Streeter, Assistant Chancellor for Administration and Fiscal Affairs. "Business leaders in Kenosha and Racine have pledge that if stu- dents are wiIIing, they will step forward and do private raising for the expansion ...This speaks high- ly of both the students and both communities." Streeter maintains that our "visibility in the country will be enhanced. The commu- nity will be more drawn to the campus." This new construction will complete fl a part that has been missing for so long, especially a campus of our size. By the time Spring of 1996 comes, it will be 20 years since we have had a new building: he added. Chair of the Physical Education Department, Steve Stephens, said that this project is "fantastic and long overdue. The building is really inadequate since it first opened. It is finally time to build again: Stephens also believes that the additional increase upon students is a reasonable cost. "It is a modest cost for a major improvement for not only the Hate Literature Located in UW-p Library By: Erica L. Sanchez News Editor Recently, a certai n amou nt of hate literature was discovered on the upper levels of the UW- Parkside library, spread about on study tables for anyone to find and read. This is an occurrence that is not unfamiliar to the uni- versity, and although actions have been taken in the past to prevent it, every now and then it starts anew. Dr. John Stockwell, UW- Parkside's Interim Chancellor, stated in a recent interview that "this has happened before, and when it does, we simply collect it and destroy it. Ithink that it is trash, and although people have freedom of speech and the right to say lt, I think that is cowardly to say this without owning up to it. Let these people step forward and argue their point, instead of doing it from some post office box is some faraway city. It is simply pure cowardice coupled with stupidity." Eric Bovee, President of Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA), stated that Physical Education department, but for the entire UW-Parkside campus. It's a unique structure in this area of the space. The amount of good will be accom- plished through this expendi- ture." Stephens maintains there is a misconception among those stu- dents who believe that the new expansion will only benefit ath- letes. "We have approximately 250 athletes on campus, who spend a significant amount of time in the PE building. But dur- ing this academic year, we had over 2,500 students using the facility for credit. And then if you add the intramural students and the students who use our facilities for recreational purpos- es, you will discover that a signif- icant number of students use the physical education center. This is not betng built for just athletes, but for instructional and recre- ational services as well as for general student use," Stephens stated. Stephens also stated that he wants the students to understand the term multi-purpose concur- rent use facility. "It means that we're making every effort to design this so that many activities can go on. Most complaints are from students who want to use the facility for classes, swimming, or recreational activities. We have had to shut down the enti re facility for many games. This new expansion is creating more space for them." Montine R. Gorski, a Parkslde Junior and intern student trainer, stated that "the expansion of the people "have a right to say pretty much anything because of the First Amendment. This does not, however, mean that one should not take responsibility for what they say. The First Amendment was designed so that people could express their beliefs in public which is to be a free mar- ketplace of ideas. The individ- ual(s) distributing these materials are not doi ng this. They don't have the courage to take respon- sibility of their actions and beliefs. They don't have the cou rage to hear opposi ng bel iefs, and learn that their beliefs are wrong." "In closing," noted Bovee, "the people responsible for this material should come for- ward so that we, as an university, can see what kind of people they really are. Is there something to hide?" Action was taken to remove the hate literature from the library, and it is hoped that the discriminatory propaganda will not turn up again. The Ranger News will keep you informed about any new information on this topic. Physical Education building will benefit everyone at UWP. Being such a small campus, the growth is vital, and the health and well- being of the students and staff. From an athlete's perspective, I am excited about the project!" Matt Hetland, a Parkside fresh- man and baseball player, said that he is "extremely excited about the new athletic complex that is to be buill. I feel it will help UWP athletes achieve more in years to come." Roy A. Glass, Parkside fresh- man and soccer player, said "I feel that the new compiex will be a great asset to the school and athletes at Parkside." Christopher Taschner, Parkside freshman student, said Nthe cur- rent facility is old and just needs to be replaced. Athletes here cannot improve themselves as much, and are forced to train off campus. A new faciIity will improve the campus greatly and help benefit the school's enroll- ment, and attract the better ath- letes. The student body should be excited about Parkside's futun physical education complex. W. will all benefit from it." Vice President of the Parkside Student Government Association said that this expansion /lis the most important project ever to be undertaken. It is necessary for the student body to approve a referendum that will be placed on the spring ballot. Ifthe refer- endum is passed, the project will move forward and place Parksid< on the road to advancement" Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
