UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document n Several discrepancies existed in the article about the noose hanging incident printed in last week's issue of The Ranger News. "I feel that it is imperative that accurate information about the incident be available to the public," staled DeAnn Possehl, Director of Residence Life. "It is true that on February 6, 1995, Marian Triplett did return to find a noose hanging up in his room," She said that the incident was reported to Matt Hechel, the R.A., who then contacted her for input. Possehl advised Hechel to contact University Police. She stated that once an officer arrived at Triplett's room, he had left. University Police had to follow up with the situation later that evening when Triplett returned. According to Possehl. "The complaint is now being handled through the normal university student discipline process." Another concern that Possehl had was that Triplett hadn't complained about any"racist behavior" prior to the incident on February 4. Possehl stated, By Pamela Bradshaw "Should the Minimum wage be increased" was the topic of the February 15th Soup and Substance lecture. Norman Cloutier, associate professor of economics at UWParkside, outlined the advantages and disadvantages of raising the federal minimum wage. "At least up until the earlier 1980's you get a typical sawtooth pattern of the minimum wage," explained Cloutier, describing the increases in the minimum wage and subsequent decrease in its real value due to inflation. "During the Reagan administration the minimum wage wasn't increased at all," Cloutier stated. Currently, approximately 3% of all people employed earn the minimum wage. "The value of the minimum wage relative to other wages being earned is 30~50% of the average manufacturing wage. "The vast majority of economists Teri Jacobson "room conflicts are not unusual in an apartment living situation." She said that Hechel met with the residents of Triplett'S housing unit on at least two occasions to talk about any problems in the apartment. "It is standard residence Iife procedure to attempt to resolve roommate conflicts through mediation," Possehl stated. In addition, it was Triplett who requested a room change in November. Possehl approved a room change on February 3, 1995 when Triplett found one with which he was satisfied. Possehl added, "this request was approved prior to the incident." Hechel asserted that conflicts regarding cleanliness were the origional reasons why Triplett had asked to move. The Ranger quoted Triplet in a letter he addressed to Steve McLaughlin, Dean of students at UWParkside. Triplet requested that there should be training "in how to deal with racial and potentially hostile issues that impact on the student's living environment." In response, Possehl pointed out that "resident advisors receive approximately 50 hours of training in the fall and 16 hours of training mid year." In this are not in favor of the minimum wage," Cloutier stated, because they believe the increase will cause' unemployment. However, Cloutier states that an increase would not cause "massive disemployment of any groups." "A 10% increase in the minimum wage will result in a 1-3% decline in employment for teenagers," Cloutier said. "It's going to hurt those people who have the lowest production, training or skill." "We should increase the minimum wage because we shouldn't have people working full time in poverty," Cloutier said, explaining the reasoning given for increasing the minimum wage. However, he added that "the link between increases in the minimum wage and poverty are very weak." Most of the people recei ving the minimum wage are part time workers. Cloutier believes that "both the opponent and proponents generally The University of Wisconsin- UW-Parkside will be sending 8 Parkside wrestling team has been wrestlers to the NCAA nationals to be ranked #JO in the country in the latest held March 3rd and 4th in Kerney, NAIA wrestling poll.

In his letter Triplett also requested that Hechel.be ousted from his positon as R.A. Hechel stated that he was not sure why Triplett would ask that since he had been According to Hechel, Triplett called him and said that there was a rope hanging above Mcf.Iellandts (Triplett's former roommate) desk. At the advise of Possehl he called the University Police who then responded. Hechel stated, "Once it's in the police's hands, it's out of the RA.' s hand." When Heche} saw the noose, which Triplett referred to as a rope, he was offended and thus acted promptly by calling Possehl, and then the police. Hechel, too, states that Triplett was not around when the unversity officer ani ved at the scene. Steve McLaughlin, dean of students, stated that at present they are trying to complete the investigation and are in the process of disciplinary action. by Brian Matsen In the January 26th issue of the Ranger, a proposed Campus Secure Program was mentioned and surveys that accompanied the article were to be filled out and brought to the Campus police department or the Ranger News office. As mentioned in the Jan 26 edition, the Campus Secure Program would provide "each student, faculty, and staff member who subscribes to the system with a tiny personal radio transmitter which is .carried on a key chain or necklace. When a button on the transmitter is held down for 3/4 of a second, a personally coded signal for help is sent .... "- Within seconds of this signal, help would be on the way.

Discrepancies cleared up by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer At the Feb, 17th, PSGA Senate meeting, Segregated University fees Allocation committee (SUF AC) budget recommendations for 1995-96 were passed by the Parkside Student Government Association. Of the 23 requests, 18 organizations' budgets either increased or remained the same, and the rest decreased for next year. Total increased spending for next year amounted to $39,807, a 2.9% increase up from this year giving SUFAC $1,436,492 for the 1995-96 budget. The music department, with a 48.5% increase' $3.300, the childcare center, with a 21.8% increase; $8,500 and the Union Administration with a 31.0% increase; $26,000, were among th~ 18 organizations who received the highest increases for next year. See Noose, page 2 Raising minimum wage overstate their case." "To establish the impact of a minimum wage you have to hold everything else constant," Cloutier stated. Difficulties in studying the effect of a minimum wage include: not all labor is covered by the minimum wage, different states have different levels of the minimum wage and not all employers comply with the minimum wage laws. by Brian Matsen At noon on February 15 in Molninaro 109, Mcri-Ra Kwesi , a lecturer on "Afrikan" fashion and culture and a designer of Africancentric apparel, brought an educational lecture and slide presentation to a highly receptive audience. Her presentation, The Cultural Destruction of Afrikan Fashions, Once Sacred, Now Desecrated, was based on her travels and research on the textiles of Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Spain, and also from assorted garments and accessories from Egypt, Cana, and Morocco. Kwcst's presentatio_n dealt with her Motherland, Africa, from ancient times to the present. Her goal was to "uncover the importance of African fashions" - what they meant; their symbolism; their authority - and transmit this cultural respect to her audience. She was upset that African fashions have not been taken seriously. In fact, through the plagiarism of African fashions, as her presentation proved, her culture's fashions have been ravaged. She continued to stress that "anything goes ... but they don't know the meanings." The study of ancient times in Africa show that power was illustrated by the clothes and accessories a person, whether they were a king, warrior or commoner, wore. "Not everybody was allowed to wear everything," she said. "If you increase the income of some people it is coming at the cost of not having income for some others," stated Cloutier. He also stated that he is against the minimum wage, believing that programs like the Earned Income Credit would help relieve poverty more effectively. Cloutier holds a doctorate in economics from West Virginia University. His teaching and research interests are in labor econometrics and inequality. He has also published several articles in the area of income distribution. of the campus does not care. Even though an overwhelming 48 women, compared to 27 men responded to a questionnaire about this proposed program, these numbers are small compared to the population at this university. According to Leuenberger, "It doesn't seem like the student body cares," said Jeffrey Leuenberger, University Police Supervisor. He seemed upset that the responses were poor, but gave the indication that life moves on. Of the total 75 responses, 21 individuals said "no" to any secure system if offered on the campus; 16, seven men and eight women, said "yes" and the remaining thirty-eight responses said that more information is needed. Through the use of her slide show, Kwesi displayed visually documented proof of cultural fashion traditions introduced by ancient Egyptians and Moors that brought Europe out of the "Dark Ages", the plagiarism of African symbols, styles, and practices from ancient times to modem, and the treatment of her culture's elaborate fashions and adornments as insignificant fads in a Europeandominated fashion industry. Among the many stolen attributes to African fashion was the fur coat. In times long ago, the fur coat was used for keeping fleas off of the people. Bugs and such would go onto and into generally used wolf skin, then be brushed out or shaken out later. The fur coat was not a statement of fashion, it was a way to make life better. Hairstyles and makeup techniques were stolen, too, from the African culture. Make-up, for instance, was used to protect the eyes of people along the Nile. "Long before Fruit of the Loom, we had the drawers," said Kwesi, followed by a rally of applause. The loin cloth was worn in Africa before underwear was even thought of. Even the bustle W'IS stolen from African culture. "They even stole our butt," she said. As time ran short, less than half of the audience moved next door for about fifteen. minutes to hear the conclusion of Kwesi' s presentation. During this time, she spoke more about herself and how she came to doing her lecture and slide show. ~ ,O'~II Students respond to governor s budget . . .. 1 1m;, is whether or not working becoming .

It is also a great learning experience. Nursing student, Michelle Barrera, who recently began her clinical volunteer work at the Shalom Center in Kenosha, said even after being there for one day, "it really gave me a different outlook on life." by Kara Pacetti Parksides second annual Volunteer Fair, sponsored by the Parkside Community Outreach Club (PCOC), was held in Upper Main Place on Wednesday, February 15 from 9:00 .HI)- 1:00 pm. Thirty-three agencies from Kenosha, Racine, and Burlington, ranging from the Girl Scouts of America to Southeast Wisconsin AIDS Project participated in the fair. The fair, which is held once a year, is geared toward recruiting students, faculty and staff into volunteer service and to create campus/community awareness of what services these agencies provide to the community. Senior Alaina Whitney states, "There is such a great need for volunteers." Volunteering for the past six years as a guardian for the Kenosha Guardianship Assistance Program, Whitney adds, "The greatest thing [about volunteering] is the satisfaction of knowing that you actually can make a big difference in individuals' lives." Students, faculty and staff SUFAC, continued by SUFAC. Ranger Editor-In- Chief, _Nick Zahn stated his opposition to the cut. "A $2,000 cut would not be healthy for the newspaper next year," said Zahn Jacobson explained that budget increases and decreases are determined by how an organization's money was spent the previous year. Part of the rationale for the Ranger's decrease was problems with the salary. She stated, "There is enough money to work around with in the salary without a $2,000 miscellaneous salary." The miscellaneous salary would be set aside for next year's Editor-InChief and Managing Editor. Zahn argued that, "Considering the amount of time needed, and responsibility (with these two jobs), it is only fair that this amount of money be offered (for next year)." "Although people volunteer their time for the Ranger, many others cannot afford to, which discourages many people from participating at all," said Zahn. "If you want to have a student newspaper that is able to seriously report news on campus, you're going to have to spend a little bit more money (than what has been offered)." The outcome of the appeals have left Ranger's budget for next 'year with a $1,000 cut, instead of a $2,000 cut previously proposed by SUFAC. The Ranger News was the only organization to appeal their budget as recommended by SUFAC . Parkside's second annual Volunteer Fair, sponsored by the Parkside Community Outreach Club, was held in Upper Main Place on Wednesday, February 15 from 9:00 am-1 ;00 pm, Noose, continued A UW-Parkside University Police Volunteer of the week Incident Report taken on February 4, 1995 reported that the incident type was one which dealt with a personal _ property theft. In the report McClelland accused Triplett of taking two shirts. "When Triplett confronted McClelland about the noose McClelland said that if the items [shirts, etc.] weren't returned immediately he would take further actions that he [Triplett] wouldn't like," the. university police officer reported.

This week's volunteer is Jeff Rhein. Jeff Rhein is a junior majoring in Biology with an interest in Pre-Health. When the Safewalk Program at UW· Parkside began in November, 1993, Jeff signed up and became a participant. Last spring, the Safewalk Coordinator position opened and Jeff was nominated and voted to fill this volunteer position. Jeff stated, "We have volunteers from all ages and majors. They have one common concern and that is to keep the Uw-Parkside campus a safe place to be without worry. Many of the safewalkers are from housing, housing office. Volunteers are scheduled once or twice a monthfrom 7:00pm-Midnight, Sunday through Thursday. I encourage students to use the Safewalk service regularly." Jeff became a Habitat for Humanity volunteer late last semester whentbe Habitat Club was formed. He has helped with dry walling, plumbing, and staining in a home in Racine that will be owned by a low income family. Thanks Jeff for being a campus leader and a community worker.

I briefly ~onderedwho, what or if They were. The questions I had were so few in Umber that you could fit them all in a n . thimble and still have room left to spare. The complexity of my questions were also limited. I didn't seek answers because the concept of Him didn't seem to bother me one wayor the other. _ When I was eighteen He was back again in my mind. This time I was more curious about Him. My questions at the time were greater in number and were a little less conceptual. Iwas looking for some tangible answers. I didn't know where to turn. So, I met up with someone with whom I began to talk of God and of Christ. We went to church togetherand studied the bible together aodeven prayed together. My interest at the time, however, began to wean when she moved away to another city. I didn't push to know more. I dion't need to. I took my questions, which at die time were enough in number to fill my back pocket, and went along my merry way. He didn't really enter my mind again. Now, I'm twenty eight. He is back againand this time in a BIG way. My questions are so great in number that they could fill a football stadium and tbey are burning for answers. I've been wanting factual answers to very conceptual questions and getting conceptual answers to very factual questions. It's driving me crazy. I yearn to know for sure if there is a God. The concept really blows me away. I'm a "facts and figures" girl. Show me something concrete and I'll I I Ig s. ra 'r " I s, h I e II e be content. Give me quotes from the bible (a book which has no authors' name on the cover, i.e. how can I be sure of its validity) and then I feel even more empty. There have been so many injustices in my life as of late, medical problems and personal as well. It's been so overwhelming. And the lives of so many others are even far worse than mine. If He is real, then why does he allow so much pain? And, if sinners go to Hell, then I'm in BIG trouble because I could fill ten thousand football stadiums with all of mine, and that's just this week. Yet, my new friend Andy tells me that if I can just allow Christ into my heart and believe God's love that all of my sins will be washed away and that heaven will be mine. He's so certain of what he feels and knows about God. I wish I were him. You would think I would just say, "Yes, I believe!", knowing that it will get me all of this great stuff (a clean slate and a place in heaven). But I can't yet. I can't because no one has answered my questions to my satisfaction. This is the third time in my life I have corne to the table with questions. I've walked away without answers twice before. I don't want to walk away this time empty handed. I've got to settle this. I've got to know. I need to firmly believe one way or the other. I can't let another ten years go by. I'm making a real effort this time to understand. I've been reading up on the subject (Bible) and have gone to a few bible study meetings. Last week I attended an Intervar si ty Christian Fellowship meeting and felt like a fish out of water. Everyone was kind and welcomed me with open arms, that's not what alienated me from them. It was their certainty of Letters to the Editor Governor Tommy wanlS your cash Does anyone remember those campaign commercials featuring TommyThompson jogging along with happy kids all on their way to a good education, followed by the sloganThompson for Education? Those kids wereapparently not from Wisconsin. Thompson's mega sized budget plan hit the floor last week with a resounding thud. Although, to University students, it may have sounded like a bomb going off. The document itself was 3000+ pages long and contained suggestions, recommendations and plans that cover everypiece of life the state has control OVer.We really don't have the time to lookat the whole thing, so let's just see how it affects the student population. Tommy wants the UW-System to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on property taxes. This is not all that bad of a goal. Wisconsin ~s have a fairly high property tax rate ID comparison to other states. To that ~nd his plan cal1s for a percentage Increasein tuition for System schools in the 95-96 year and again in the 96-97 year. These increases would be 4.7% and 3.8% at Madison, 5,7% and 4.8% at Milwaukee and 6.1 % and 5.2% at all other UW comprehensives. These increases are on top of usual scheduled inflationary tuition increases and the technology fee increase. There is also a required cut of $10 million from the system from current system expenditures. Now, can someone explain to me why Milwaukee and Madison receive lower increases than all the other schools? And can we make an educated guess given that example of where the bulk of the cuts are going to come from? If these budget proposals are intended to make the system more self-sufficient, I think it would only make sense to apply the increases and cuts across the board, not to play political favorites with them. Not that I would ever accuse Gov. Tommy of using these cuts as political football, I'm sure that would never happen. But wait, there's more! Tommy also suggests a $40 tuition surcharge for 95- God and my lack thereof which kept me from them. Still I plan to give it another try. If any of you readers are interested in joining me you can fi~d me in the back of the room at the next meeting. Last night I went to bed angered and saddened with my struggle. I decided I was going to leave it all alone. I decided to just stop asking questions and looking for Him in my life. I decided that I couldn't give this subject one more day's thought. Then, this morning I woke up and He was the first thing that came into my mind. HE was back again. I couldn't make the question of Him go away this time like I'd been able to so many times before in my life. And He's here with me now. I feel like someone has placed some tormenting "spell" on me. I can't run away from my thoughts. I can't push them down any longer. They won't let me. I NEED to know. I NEED to understand. I NEED to believe one way or the other. Do you know what I mean? Any of you? Do you need to know too? If any of you are familiar with my struggle, let's talk about it sometime. Join me in bible study on Thursdays at 5:00 p.m. in Union 202. It's a pretty interesting hour. We debate, discuss and depart. No strings. If you're not interested in bible study then you can find me via the Ranger office. Stop in or leave a message. Or we can talk somewhere else. I don't care where it is. I might find some comfort in knowing that someone else is where I am with this whole thing. Maybe there is strength in numbers and we can find answers together. Then again, maybe not. That's just it. I don't know. I just don't know. But at least for today, I know that I intend to keep searching. 96 and $80 for 96-97. These moneys are to be used to fund property tax relief. Well, I certainly can see where he got his reputation as a friend of education. It is one thing to make a plan that removes the educational burden from the property tax rolls, but is another thing entirely to place the property tax burden on the backs of the students. What we have here is another case of a politician shifting tax burdens from one area to another and calling it a tax cut. Yes, property taxes in Wisconsin are out of control. Yes, the UW System could be trimmed from the top and made to be more self-sufficient. No, this is not the way to do it. This budget plan will only speed the constant decrease in services that the System is already suffering. It will only discourage potential students from trying to get a college education. It will only sell the future for the price of good polls and a possible presidential campaign. Tyson Wilda Apology .

One Llberal's Opinion by Barh Churchill Now that we're stuck with him (why, oh why, didn't voters see through this man?), Newt Gingrich (aka "His Obnoxiousness") used his influence as Speaker of the House to limit Presidential authority to send troops into foreign countries, appatently because he's tired of the UN taking 'advantage of our soldiers. (This was covered under one of the provisions of the "Contract with America.") Appearances can sometimes be deceiving, however. This violates the separation of powers principle inherent in our Constitution. Subsequently, Democrats could call this the "Contract on America." Limit presidential authority in all the ways that count, and call it nothing except "cutting waste." However, if the Congress really wanted to cut waste, they'd cut Gingrich's (and every other Congressman's) salary until the budget is balanced. (Oh, yeah, and no more raises either.) They'd also delete perqs, such as subsidized medical care, pensions for former Speakers (that run into the millions of dollars), and "complimentary" trips on federal planes for junkets to Jamaica. But, no, that would cramp their style too much. Instead, they say, let's limit presidential authority. Then it's a win/win scenario: taxpayers still blindly pay for the junkets, and the president looks like an idiot. The few Democrats left in Congress are fuming, but powerless. They can't stop Gingrich: he's a steamroller set on overload. Nothing sticks to this man; not his questionable book deal, not his messy divorce (when he claims to be a paragon of virtue.), and not his waffling on issues. However, when petty partisan bickering takes the place of debate on issues, the people must act. It's time to hold your Congressmen and Representatives accountable. Let our representati ves hear your voice on issues that matter, such as the baseball strike, the economy, foreign policy, crime, etc. (Write Gingrich some nasty letters too, but keep it polite.) It's time for our representatives in Washington to think of us for a change, and not just the next handout. An old proverb states, "May you get exactly what you deserve." Are we really receiving the best government, or only the government that we "deserve" due to voter inattention and apathy? Praise of the week goes to Baltimore Orioles owner, Peter Angelos, who is refusing to field a "team" of scabs (I mean, "replacement players.") It's nice to know some owners aren't morons. However, Outrage of the Week is shared by the baseball owners, who are attempting to fine or take Angelos' team away from him if he refuses to comply, and Tommy Thompson, who once again lowered the boom on students. (May I say that I saw it coming? Thank. you.) Observations In Case You Missed It c. 1. Nelson Yes, I know that the title to this weeks commentary is also the name of my sports column. You see, I am stealing my own idea and adapting it. to my opinion piece this week. No Comment: I was going to talk some more about race relations in this week's column. I have been asked to forgo doing so this week. Rest assured, I am not through with that subject. Tain't Funny: Last week, the Ranger printed the story of an incident in student housing. The incident is being investigated, I am told; I am further informed that man who left the noose over the bed thought it was only a joke-some joke. Hey, Mr. McClelland, joking about a noose to an African-American male is like joking with a Nazi twisted cross to a person of Jewish heritage- it just is not. funny. Perhaps everyone should take a history course on the subject of the African-American experience in the U. S. After all, it is Fehruary (Black History Month) and that makes it a perfect time. Engage your brain before you act next time. Dem's, We Owe You One: The Democratic party rendered this nation a great service recently by opposing the idea of a 3/5 supermajori ty requirement for tax increases. The Constitution does not allow for a supermajority in the case of revenue hikes . No, You Can't Have It: Private property rights used to mean something in this country. Recently, in the name of the government and the environment, that right has been steadily eroded away. Presently in Congress is a bill known as the Property Owners Bill of Rights. All this legislation does is restore the takings clause of the fifth amendment to its rightful place. Declaring a dry farmers field a wet land so that he may not sell it to a housing developer is an obscene abuse of law. There are examples after examples of the environmental police taking, or restricting, the legitimate (and I stress the word legitimate) use of private property. President Reagan was right in ] 983 when he stated, "Some environmentalists will not be happy until they have turned the clock back a hundred years and have a bird's nest instead of housing." I Feel Sick: Not surprising in this area. It seems those geniuses at the EPA have decided that a reformulated gasoline must be used in Wisconsin and other cities and states. Problem is-it makes people sick. The EPA, as you might expect, denies this (it is one of the truisms of a liberal, they never make a mistake or admit to one, and they always know better than you) Our Governor Tommy Thompson is willing to go to bat for his people and has ordered a state investigation. Tommy's In Charge: I know that several other writers in these pages do not like the current chief executive in Madison. I am, on the whole, quite pleased and comfortable with his leadership. The only mistake he is making is the way he wants to fund education in this state. To the letter writer whining about property tax relief: I own a house, if you did also, you might see the other side of the coin. Go Out To A Ball Game: Show those greedy players. If the Brewers and the Cubs are going to make baseball affordable again, then I'm going. Besides I want to see the players lose this strike. As I stated last week, Donald Fehr is one of the biggest anal retentives in the nation. ----'-------=======::=----=---=--=========::::======::::=:J True Talent rroet's Corne Sibling Rivalry. The heart of a family, the juice of competition, and the basis for Sam Shepard's True West. On February 20 I attended a dress rehearsal of UW-Parkside's performance of True West. It was thrilling. The performance accented the subtle complexities that two rival brothers feel for each other. Austin, performed by Chris Harder, is an up and coming Hollywood screen writer. His older brother Lee, performed by Maxwell Mount, is a petty thief and drifter. The two brothers are at odds in everything and when they come together to write a western the emotional tension explodes. Director Leon Van Dyke does an admirable job of presenting the little nuances of the characters, and the subtle yet hidden love that the brothers feel for each other. True West is a superb play and the UWParkside actors do an excellent job of presenting such complex emotions. The first public performance will be held on Fehruary 24-25. After that there will be performances on March 2-4. Due to limited seating individuals should call ahead for tickets. For the tickets call the UW-Parkside Ticket office between 8-4pm, Monday through Friday at (414) 595-2564.

Boys By Dawn Apostoli If y?U want a movie that will make you laugh one minute and cry the next, then you should see Boys On The Side with Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Louise Parker. This movie is exceptional, enlightening, and definitely worth going to see- especially if you are a woman. Men will enjoy this film too, but it sort of seems like it's more of a woman's movie. The film starts out with Jane (played by Goldberg) planning to go to Los Angeles to pick up her music. career. She finds another woman Robin (played by Parker), wbo also has ' intentions of going to the West Coast. So, the two decide to car pool. Upon first glance, you see that their personalities clash a great dealJane is an outspoken, witty woman, while Robin is very timid and emotional. However, these characteristics do eventually intermix during the .course of the movie. On their way across the country, Jane stops in Pittsburgh to meet up with one of her good friends, Holly (played by Barrymore). A mishap occurs though. Holly is being beaten by her on the Side (****) boyfriend (Nick), and Jane tries, but fails, to stop him. Robin steps in and is able to control the situation for a little while with her quiet voice and meek actions. Nick is cooled down for awhile, but soon he's swinging the girls against the wall again. This time it's Holly's turn to put Nick in his place by beating him over the head with a baseball bat. While he's down and out (but still alive), they tie him up and head towards L.A. After a few days of good laughs and fun times, Holly decides it's time to return home to Nick. But, they soon see the headlines in the newspaper saying that a drug dealer (Nick) was found dead. Holly is stricken with guilt and sadness. This man may be the father of the baby she is carrying. The other girls are surprised to hear that Holly is eight weeks pregnant, but they each have their little secrets too. Jane, we find out, is a lesbian, and Robin tests positive for an extremely terrible disease. The girls decide not to report the "Nick Incident" to the police, so they continue westward and end up staying in Tucson where Holly falls in love with a man who happens to be a cop. What happens when she tells him about Nick? Will her boyfriend be faithful to the law V~e GJ3tac~eroioes this album of a million singers. Robinson is a vocalist who is able to incorporate a sense of real feeling into his singing. because of his extraordinary voice and feel, Robinson is probably one the best vocalists out there today, Amorica is a very well rounded album. It's an album that will start rockin', give you a groove to move to, mellow out into soothing sounds of a ballad. and then start rockin' allover again. A definite stand out is a song called "P, 25 London," This tune will catch your ear right away with the Hendrix-like guitar riff in the introduction, "Cursed Diamond" is one of the many songs with so much feeling, and such a catchy groove, that you may find yourself closing your eyes and letting the soul of this song soak into your own. It starts out as a gradual flowing groove and turns into a raw, and yet melodic, verse. The last song on the album, called "Descending:' shows off the talents of Hello our fellow readers. Here is the children's movie we promised and it is called Heavyweights. From the director of The Mighty Ducks comes the story of Jerry an 11- year old who is looking forward to a summer of Nintendo and hanging out with friends. Little does Jerry know, his parents have a better idea. I Since Jerry is a little overweight, his parents want to send . him to a camp for overweight children. Jerry objects at first until he sees the videotape of the go-carts and ''The Blob." and tum her in? Will he be faithful to her and keep her secret? Or is there a way he can be faithful to both? In the meantime, Jane is trying to make Robin's life happier and more meaningful by setting her up with a man. Robin resents Jane's helpfulness; therefore, their friendship splits up for a while .... until a mutual responsibility pulls them back together. There are episodes in the movie that are very humorous, very serious, and very depressing. It's not until near the end though, that you might have to struggle to hold back the tears. Almost every part of the ending is sad: Robin's mother's thoughts about how Robin will always stay with her (and not leave her like her son and husband did), seeing Robin with her skeleton frame and sickly face, and listening to Jane finish Robin's song while painful tears stream down both their faces. Not only was it me that found this movie to be so sad, but so did all the people in the theater who were sniffling and shedding tears. I really liked this movie, and hopefully you will find it as enjoyable as I did. So, I definitely recommend it for everyone who wants a good laugh and a good cry at the same time! piano player Eddie Harsch, This is a beautiful sounding song that combines a crisp piano with the sounds of smooth slide guitar, It is good example of what the Black Crowes, as a band, are really capable of. The result is more than satisfying. An album of this sort that contains so much soul, feelings, and grooves, is hard to put into words, Most importantly, it is probably best to be enjoyed rather than I described, My advice would be to listen for, yourself and create your own meaning from the feel you get from this album, That" s what Amorica is made up of - soulful feelings with a groove to move. I must add that I have seen the Black Crowes live, and it was one of the best shows that I have ever seen. They .are one of the few bands you could ever say that sound better live than on the album, Either way, Amorica is sure to bring life to the _ stage and into your souL 1:ales from the <irytics Jfeavy weights Ben Stiller is about to take a heavy hit in Heavyweights - R.T"s Real CD Review After a few days at the camp, Jerry meets up with camp legend Josh ( who you might see starring in any upcoming Godfather films). The tW9 find out the camp isn't run by a sweet elderly couple anymore but that it's run by a psycho cross between Richard Simmons and Dennis Miller. Overall, this is a decent kids movie. In our opinion, there isn't anything that a child's eyes couldn't see. This is a perfect Saturday or Sunday afternoon movie but this isn't one to get all psyched up about. We are going to have to give this one a yellow light as a children's movie which isn't anything we haven't seen before . .........---_........... By: Robby Thompson The Black Crowes have flown in once again, Actually, they've never really flown away, Ever since their first album Shake Your Moneymaker, the Black Crowes have remained on top of the charts, So how do you go about describing the Black Crowes? Put simply, they stand in a class that" s all their own. Amorica, their new album, is everything a Crowes fan could want: Pure southern harmony, Although overshadowed by their first two "radio friendly" albums, Amorica has yet to get a lot of air play, Since the album's release late in 1994, only one single, "A Conspiracy:' has been released, Nonetheless, "A Conspiracy" is one great song among many others, Consistent with the Crowe's first two albums, Amorica has that feel and groove that pulls you into the music, Chris Robinson, the lead singer, has the soul on By: Bill Zasoba Paul Danninger ~ _,~~~m~ ... , I A1t1ieie6f1tleW 1st place for Ranger's~I :~~~;~::~~~~g Hase n]ag e r ~~:~t~:~":~:: Sayville, NY Major: Undecided Scott Fragale Mucker hei de .

"It's nice to see that I was respectedby my peers", said the long-time Ranger coach. No one is more deserving than Will VanAxen. Last Saturday, Vanaxen qualified for the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials.

He also placed sixth in a time of one hour, 29 minutes, and 40 seconds narrowly missed qualifying him for the World Cup in Beijing, China (only the topfive go).

The Rangers are now 5-18, while Olivet Nazarene improved their record to 13-11. The Rangers were behind at the half 39-30, but were able to get back into the game when Maci Persteiner hit a 3-pointer with 35 seconds left giving the Rangers a 74-72 lead. Olivet's Stacey Mann then hit a shot in the lane with 5/IO's of a second left to send the game into overtime. Mann had 23 points in all, and teammate Rochelle Durbin added 20. Parkside did win the rebounding battle 52-43, but were outscored in the overtime period 13-10. Leading the way for the Rangers was Heather Bogenschneider with 23 points, Pernsteiner added 19, and minutes, including last Thursday's overtime loss to NAIA powerhouse, Olivet-Nazarene. The main reason the team has hung close in so many games is senior Maci Pemsteiner. She is unquestionably the leader of this ball Maci Pernsteiner club. After a solid freshman year, Pernsretner struggled as a sophomore. But consistent work habits have shifted the spotlight to her outstanding play. She leads the team in scoring (15.3), assists (3.6), steals (2:4), and minutes (31.4). Miller considers her a model athlete. "She's playing the best basketball of her career and is great for the young kids. They all look up to her," said Miller. An explosive first step, physical strength, and her 887 career points will make Pemsteiner hard to replace. "I've worked the same as I always have. I have to put myself in their [the freshmen's] place and remember what it was like," said Pemsteiner. "We had a growing year my freshman year too." And how would Pemsteiner like to finish her career? "I'd just like to look back with no regrets. Four years have come down to 4 games. I'll miss it a lot," she said. The team remains confident about their future. ~ "I think we have a lot of potential," added Kassing. "Each year we will get better and better, so by our 4th year we'll be a great team." Pemsteiner forecasts a bright future for the team as well. She added, "They've gained a lot of experience that can't be replaced-close games." Close games that will hopefully swing in their-favor next year. by Al Heppner It all started about four years ago. The Rangers had a full team and didn't recruit. Coach Wendy Miller knew she had her work cut out for her after last season's mostly senior learn finished a respectable 12414. W d M'II Miller brought in a big freshman en y I er class this year, ten to be exact. The "tough ten," despite their lack of size, have kept themselves in games with their strength and hustle. Their determination is not accurately reflected in their 5-18 record as most the losses were deceptively close. "We're not measuring success by our wen-toss record, but rather by how much improvement we've made," said Miller. "We've got a very good group of freshmen." A freshman group that is led by Jenny Kassing. Kassing, a two-time All-Northwest selection in high school, has led the team in 3-poinl shooting (38%), rebounding (7.S), and is second in scoring (13.2) and steals (1.9). "[Having ten freshmen] doesn't affect us, because we've grown together and learned each other's playing style," Kassing said. Kassing, however, does admit to the Ranger's troubles in the post. "We're weak in the post, so we've had problems boxing out. But we have strong players like Amy Hurlebaus. We make-up [for the weaknesses] with our power and speed," added Kassing. The team's post dilemma is no secret to Miller and she is on her way 10 filling the void. "We've been out-rebounded, especially at the end of garnes. But we have three post-players signed or verbally committed for next season," Miller said. The Rangers have been painfully close to winning games all season. Nine of their losses have come in the last two Heather Bogenschneider Kassing added 15 points and 11 rebounds. Rangers shocked by Northland Baptist The University of wisconsinParkside men's basketball team dropped a 80474 decision to Northland Baptist Bible College (NBBC) Friday night at the Physical Education Building on the UW-Parkside campus. The loss drops the Rangers to 12-12 on the season. UW-Parkside built a 14 point halftime lead, 43-29, and led by as many as 16 in the second half before NBBC began closing the gap. The score was 57-44 in the second half with I I :33 left in the game when NBBC went on a 14-0 run to lead 57- 58 with 7:25 left. The game was dose the rest of Ihe way with NBBC pulling away at the end by making their free throws. The Rangers were led by Levi Bradley who scored 26 points and hauled down 18 rebounds. Thadd Jacobs scored 19 and Craig Evans had 14 for the Rangers. No other UWMP player scored more than four points. NBBC closed the gap in the second half on the strength of 63% shooting while UW-P went cold shooting just 32% from the floor in the second half.

No Joy in Mudville: No Baseball either. Talks in the baseball farce (I mean strike) mayor may not occur this week. In the meantime preparations continue for some sort of a season with men willing to play for other men who aren't. Detroit manager (for the time being) Sparky Anderson is refusing to manage the Tigers. He most likely will not have a job when the strike is over (assuming it ever is). Oriole owner Peter Angelos may lose his club because he refuses to field a team. Phillie Lenny Dykstra found out that speaking your mind does not count in the players union. Now he is sufficently supportative of his cry-baby brethren in the union. I hope when and if these prima donna's ever take to the diamond again they are roundly booed and hooted back into the dugout.

The result is that Kansas is now number one. Doing it Again: Sterling Marlin won his second consecutive Daytona 500 yesterday. He became the first back to back Daytona winner since Cale Yarborough turned the trick in 1983/84. Dale Earnhardt finished second continuing an 0 for 18 string in NASCAR's most prestigious race. Getting a Second Chance: Two weeks ago golfer Kenny Perry lost a three stroke lead and a tournament. • LEATHERS' WEDDING GOWNS' ETC. • ALL APPAREL & FABRICS' DRAPERIES Intramural Basketball Standings • FAST SHIRT SERVICE' PILLOW CLEANING • ALTERATIONS.

Serving all UW Parkside employees and students (~~) ~a\~ L~-I Tallent Hall Rm. 286 595-2150 9:30-4:00 ~ What is Social Action? The Dramatic Arts Departmen t and the Division of Student Affai rs are working jOintly with a new campus group whose purpose is to foster understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity. Participants are trained in social action techniques and are involved in the development of skits illustrating real-life instances of discrimination or acts of insensitivity. Once developed into brief life-story skits, they will be presented to classes, student organizations, and community groups. Actor/audience interaction and facilitated discussion will help to heighten cultural awareness and understanding of cultural differences on campus. The Goals of Social Action: o To foster understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity o To strengthen the climate of respect and trust for all campus groups o To increase campus tolerance through education What Skills are Needed? Participants are not expected to be drama majors or experienced in theatre. All that is needed are a genuine willingness to become involved and a desire to make a positive difference. Participants will go through special training in all the techniques they will be expected to utilize in Social Action Theatre. In What Ways Can I Be Involved? , , There are several ways to become involved in Social Action Theatre. You may choose to assist in the writing of scripts and the development/training of a troupe of role players. Those interested in pertorming before groups may wish to become role players.

Final Payment Due 2/27 presentation needs a discussion facilitator to structure audience/actor interaction. Some participants may simply wish to coordinate "behind the scenes" logistics. If you have 'an interest, we can utilize you in some important way. What Can IExpect From My Involvement? Social Action will provide opportunity for you to: o Learn or further develop communication and human resource skills o Contribute to positive change at UW-Parkside o Do your part in fighting intolerance o Establish new friendships and relationships on campus How Much Time Commitment Will There Be? It is hard to quantify the time involvement in such a new undertaking. You will largely decide how much time you have to give. During the fall semester, participants gave approximately one hour per week to Social Action Theatre. If I'm Interested or Would Like Further Information, What Should IDo? If you would like further information or would like more information about this exciting new opportunity at UW-Parkside, you should plan to attend the weekly meetings at 11 :30 a.m. on Thursdays in Comm Arts 135.
