UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE students Speak Against Proposed State Budget by Pamela Bradshaw "Education cuts never heal," "Ignorance breeds ignorance, Education breeds prosperity," these slogans and many more were drawn on signs held by UW- Parkside students attending a hearing on the proposed state budget, Bill AB 150. Held on April 19th in the conference center at Gateway in Kenosha, students, the elderly, the disabled, public school educators and others gathered; most waiting to voice their opposition to the cuts that would be made if Bill AB1S0 was passed. The bill proposed a 6.1 % increase in tuition the first year and a 5.25% increase the second. Additionally. there would be a $40 tuition surcharge the first year and $80 the second to offset cuts in General Program Revenue. A technology fee would also be added, J % ($21) the first year and 2% ($43) the second. State financial aid would be level funded or cut and there is no money set aside for the Tuition Award Program. Further cuts are being considered in advising, counseling, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, the Adjunct budget and possibly changing the four schools to two schools. State legislators that attended the meeting were: Senator Andrea, Senator Chvala, Representati ve Coggs, Representative Kreuser, Representative Plache and Representative Turner. Coggs and Chvala are members of the JOint Finance Committee. Before the public began speaking Kreuser expressed his dissatisfaction with the budget bill, "We've gone from a state-funded system to a state supported system." He also felt that it would, "punish some people who work while going to school." Overall, Kreuser stated that he was against increases in tuition and decreases in financial aid. Chancellor Smith attended the meeting and-spoke on the impact the proposed budget would have on faculty and students, "Education is an investment in the future, the backbone of society ...Students are our future leaders ...we must provide them quality education at an affordable price." Tom Richie, PSGA President also addressed the legislators, "The proposed budget cuts will reduce see Budget, page 2 Creative Activities and Research Recognition Day Above: Wisconsin state senators and representatives were on hand for a public hearing about state budget cuts April 19 at Gateway Technical Collage in Kenosha.

"I learned how to build a research project from the ground up," said Matt Kelley, ajunior psychology major from Greenfield. Kelley worked with professor Don W alter on a project concerning memory and language. Kelley enjoyed both the research and the presentation. N or was he the only student to enjoy the spotlight. Kelly Murphy, senior psychology major, had two projects in the show: one on multiple memories and memory inhibition and another on how education and socioeconomic status affect childrearing patterns in mothers. "It was a good way to put closure on the research I've The purpose of the fair was to gi ve campus- wide recognition to undergraduate researchers like Kelley and Murpby. The university was represented by thirteen departments, but not all departments were created equal. The bulk of the presentations, 21 of 35, came from three departments: biology, chemistry and psychology. Creative activities rounded out the event-filled day. Jazz Ensemble and Chorale made beautiful music, and art professors and dramatic arts students showed their work. "This event really helps to distinguish Uw-Parkside as a unique educational environment," said Lyndsay Knoell, Parkside biology major. TeB awards given four areas of your life together will influence the lifestyle you select to live, and the level of excellence you will achieve." "Each of you should have a road map of your life. You may have to take some detours, but you can always get back to the rnai n road if you know where you are going and you have a plan." And Smith warned us that we should not always follow others blindly. A snow plow in a snowstorm may just be cleaning out a parking lot. "I have a blueprint for my life and a concept of the kind of woman J want to be when I am 100 years old. And I know what I must do to get there. My destination combines these four areas of my being." "As we celebrate your achievements this evening, are they a part of your dream that will lift you and carry you to exciting and new experiences?" Smith asked the audience. "Is tonight's achievement an end into itself, Of is it just the beginning? To arrive, you must have a vision, a dream, a plan of where you want to go." In closing, Smith quoted Herman Watts: "Life is not intended to be safe. A safe life has too small a name for a creature of eternity .... When answering to its true name, it lifts on wings. feeling no invisible hand to support it." by Jim Hendrickson On Friday, April 21, tbe Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) presented its eighth annual TeB (Taking Care of Business) awards, which recognized the achievements of students of color at UW -Parkside. "I am really energized and excited to be in a room of talented people," said Nydia Adames-Petty, Coordinator of Retention Services at OMSA. "I think we can't say enough about that." Anthony Brown, Director of OMSA, 'said that there was much to celebrate. "In 1989. 10 students graduated. In 1990 we had 17 people. This year there are 32 people graduating." At the ceremony, Mark Lewis read his poem, "Let My Heritage Rise," which reads, in part, "I can't let my people, heritage, and history cease. If you want my history to fade, you will have to rise above me. But still it won't languish." Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith was the keynote speaker. "Your commitment and hard work are to be celebrated," said Smith. "We acknowledge that what you have achieved has not come easily. You selec.ted to make quality a priority." Smith wanted us to choose to be excellent. "Excellence is not a sometime affair, it is a way of life and encompasses the four areas of your being: spiritual, mental, physical and SOCial," she said.

"On the one hand. my family taught me 'Be proud of yourself, 'You're Korean, you're pure Korean." However, Myo- Young found discrepancies. "If I was to be proud to be Korean, why was I not brought up speaking Korean in the home?" Myo- Young asked. "If we were proud to be Korean , why did I eat more meat loaf and spaghetti, than ... kimshi. If I was (0 be proud, why was I sent to ballet class instead of Korean dance class."

When Ten Jacobson, PSGA Senator, spoke, she asked how she would be expected to pay for the proposed tuition increase, "1 certainly won't be getting it from financial aid." She also pointed out that, "historically Wisconsin has supported higher education." "What are we supposed to infer when you are building more prisons and taking money away from our higher education?" questioned Lucia Herrera-Delgadillo, a reading specialist at Parkside. "We are facing cuts at the university that are affecting our students mostly," she said. Andrea Davis spoke on behalf of the disabled. She advised that taking money away from the disabled would reduce their ability to achieve a college education and become productive members of the community, "Please fill our colleges, not our nursing homes." Surviving Sexual Assault Advocac-y Program the mean time, advocates continue to update their training and educate the public on the issue about sexual assault. They are available to assist survivors to obtain assistance in dealing with the after affects of a sexual assault. If you see one of our advocates on campus, let them know that you appreciate their dedication and their willingness to be a Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate volunteer. For more information about the Surviving Sexual Assault Advocacy Program, contact an advocate or one of the departments listed in this article. by Marlene Schlecht University Police As you walk around the UW-Parkside campus, you will notice yellow "Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate" signs posted on doors, windows, and desks. The person who have their name on these signs are trained volunteers who care about the survivors of sexual violence. What is a "Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate"? An advocate is a trained listener who provides moral support, assistance exploring available options, and makes referrals. The role of an advocate is to empower a victim to make educated decisions. The U.W. Parkside "Surviving Sexual Assault Advocacy" Program is a collaborative effort of students. faculty, and staff members who work together. In addition to general information about sexual assault and how it affects victims, their families, and friends; our advocates have received training in advocacy, crisis intervention techniques, investigation and criminal justice procedures, University disciplinary proceedings, and community resources. The advocates are prepared to assist both primary and secondary victims of sexual violence. Training of advocates is done by members of the Student Health Services, Residence Housing, Student Counseling Services, and the University Police. The Surviving Sexual Assault Advocates hope that you will not need them in a crisis situation, but are prepared to be utilized if you do. In that expressed my identity as an Asian American woman. Now why would this be so? I experienced a profound loneliness, a profound alienation. I was called names on the streets by small children. 1couldn't relate to that." A Native American man, John Bodine, empowered her, making her aware of her identity. "He was really the first person I'd met in Madison who was truly open to me," said Myo-Young, "truly rooted in the knowledge of who he was." Her first piece was entitled Picture Bride, which chronicled the life of one Korean woman who married a man of whom she had only seen a picture. She was one of many such 'picture brides.' "Their hopes of a better life were often shattered when they walked off tbe gangplank they met their old husbands who were about 20 years older than their pictures," said Myo-Young. 'These women carried the triple burden of not only working in the fields beside their husbands, but also had the chore of helping with the household needs and meeting the needs of their own children." "I am trying to bring these stories to the public because they are being ignored," said Myo-Young. "I had to do something to remember her story because it is happening to many women of color, to many other women. It's not just her life. We have a responsibility to talk about the unspeakable before we can move National Sexual Assault Awareness Week What is sexual assault? In Wisconsin, sexual assault is sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person without the consent of that person. How does sexual contact affect me? Check out the following shocking statistics: -I in 3 women will be a victim of rape in her lifetime. -1 in 4 girls and I in 7 boys will be sexually abused as children. -92% of all sexual assaults reported in 1993 in Wisconsin were committed by someone known to the victim. -There were 7487 sexual assaults reported that same year, a 4.7% increase from 1992. forward and make our society better." Myo-Young said she drew upon many diverse sources to develop her work. "I can't really tell in my work what is Korean, Korean-American, what looks like kung fu or ta'i chi any more," she said. "It's all coming just from me, as an Asian American woman. I'm trying to forge something new" Myo- Young said that a fighting spirit animates her work. As a person of color, she feels it is imperative to express this spirit, or han, in her art. "If we don't fight for ourselves no one else will give it to us." she said. People of color need to find areas of commonality, themes that will empower this population. "On a concrete and practical level, not only do I dance, but I'm also work for a political and cultural transformation by teaching my dancers in the school system, creating curriculum alternatives," said Myo- Young. "This has been very very frustrating for me. In a a way I feel that I am hitting my head against a concrete wall. The school system is very rigid, it's really old fashioned, and at the bottom line, I think it's racist. It does not support the artists of color very easily." "I'm always fighting," she said. "I feel like I'm always fighting, except for the students. I love the children. I'm also working in longer term projects to provide an alternative cultural program." Sexual assault affects everyone! Even if you aren't aware of the situation, chances are someone you know has been or will be a victim of sexual assault. Of the 6 people closest to you, try to figure out which one will be that victim. How will you help this person? Do you know what the lingering effects of the assault might be? What can you do to stop sexual assault? April 23-29 has been designated National Sexual Assault Awareness Week. The purpose of the week is to increase awareness of the problem. Take the time to get educated. Talk to a Parkside Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate to see what you can do. Myo- Young said her most recent political activism led to the Holly report, which eventually led to the Madison plan. "We had done all the work," Myo- Young said. "Shalala came in and signed on the dotted line and called it her Madison plan." "My dancing is about empowerment," said Myo-Young. "It's about revisioning my own bloodline, negotiating my own identity and my heritage that was denied to me. It's also about creating new cultural form. It's about cultural change that tied to these changes in this country that I would like to see systemic ... to the point that ethnic and cultural differences are supported rather than tom apart by racism. I mean change so that so that the very small elite percentage of this nation's population no longer controls the nations wealth and the nations underclass and mostly people of color will no longer suffer as they suffer now. These are all very very important goals for me. Dancing for me is about spiritual empowerment and political- liberation. So what will you do tomorrow and today as leaders of future generations? What will you do?" Anthony Brown, Director of OMSA, said, "Her presentation was outstanding, spoken from the heart, and expressed diversity from a personal point-of-view," Editor-in-Chief Nick Zahn Photo Editor.

The killer murders those whom he believes the Bible would consider immoral. "The movie itself is a comment on society and what we consider t-o be right and wrong," stated Collum. The series Mark of the Devil may be unfamiliar to some because the original was a 1970 foreign film dubbed into English.

First of all, I feel that we all do not represent this university as we should and could. I do not see racial fights, nor do I see perfect racial harmony. It is great that this university is so diverse. There are also many international students here that I am very proud to know. Although one may see the racial diversity, the international students, "okay" race relations, and the various organizations such as HOP and BSU as part of the liberal education that we are receiving. just consider where we are in America: rural Southeast Wisconsin. If you ever get thechance to travel across the US or even the world, you'll find out how conservative our society actually is, I am norlooking for an immediate cure to the problems in our society, rather I am asking everyone to make an effort to be more accepting of those who are different than you.

An Observation on Liberal Melange ,y Barb Churchill ianger columnist Last week, I attended the budgetary rearing held at the Gateway, Kenosha :arnpus. One of the most important .tatements of the evening was by Chuck Chvala, State Senator (0- vladison) and ex-candidate for jovemor. He said, "If this hearing accomplishes anything, it should make ilear that senior citizens should -JEVER again have to come down to a niblic hearing and BEG for the noney to live a normal, independent jfe!" The crowd clapped and cheered. The planned evisceration of the Department of Public Instruction .DPI), and the Thompson plan of eliminating or stripping power from [he State Superintendent and appointing someone drew many speakers. Many believed that Tommy has overstepped his bounds, and wondered at the apparent lack of common sense. One oddity was that the possibility of cutting out the Public Intervener's Office of the DNR and filling it with a Thompson appointee drew more speakers than the education issues. Now this idea is pretty stupid, and tbe speakers (about ten of them) did have a good point in opposing this. However, it seems mighty strange that more people talked about this than about the lack of UW-System funding! One older gentleman's comment was particularly telling, saying that he wanted to see the environment safeguarded. Doesn't he care about education being safeguarded too, or isn't this important? Speaking against the proposed UW- System budget cuts were Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith, PSGA President Tom Richie, PSGA Senators Teri Jacobson and Tom Belongia, Lucia Herrera-Delgadillo, Lika Maria Morishita, Mark Lewis, and fermer PSGA Senator Bruce Rocco, and myself. Herrera-Delgadillo, UW- Parkside teacher of English as a second language (ESL), eloquently asked, "Why is there more money to build prisons than there is to fund education?" (Yes, absent Senator Petak, why is there? Do you have any good answer? I really would like to know.) It appears that we had many speakers, but most of us (including myself) spoke late in the evening, after the crowd had already thinned out. However, there were many students present to show solidarity against the OW-System budget cuts, around 55 people, and most of them did stick around. Other PSGA members present were Arian Rana Adair-Nichols (pSG A VP), and Boyd Frederick (former Senator). PSGA did indeed put their money where their mouths were, and showed that they truly DO care about the students. Parkside apathy might just shrivel up and die. (But don't hold your breath.) All of the Democratic Senators and Reps from Southeastern Wisconsin were present, including Robert Turner and Kim Plache (Racine), Jim Kreuser, Joe Andrea. and Bob Wirch (Kenosha). However, why was it that we had more interest from Sen. Chvala, who has no constituency down here, than our own Republican Reps? Sen. Petak and Rep. Ladwig (both R-Racine) who definitely have constituencies in Southeastern Wisconsin were mysteriously absent! Perhaps they misread the map? Or was it, as Tom Belongia said, that they "just don't care to see who it is that they are about to destroy?" Finally, as Rep. Turner (D-Racine) put it, "Contact your state and local government officials. Let them know how you feel, and if they refuse to heed your message, remember your power." In other words, vote them out, out,OUT! Quote of the Week: 'Without education, there is only ignorance. Tommy Thompson, you encourage ignorance at your own risk.' Barb Churchill, Kenosha Budgetary Hearing. (Man. Ed. Note: My, how modest you are, Barb.) Making Sense Out Of It All Trivial Pursuit by Mike Schaefer I bought a new truck last week. Well, not new per se, but new to me. It's nice to be mobile again. Its nice to be able to say,"Sure, I'll pick ya' up at.;" then don't. I can cruise beaches now, with my Mr. Microphone and announce,"Hey. baby, I'll be back to pick ya' up later." Once again I can leave my brights on when I crest a hilltop. Hell, I can drive without my lights on or just my parking lights. So many choices: left ill right blinker, hazard lights, dome light... Hey! Now I've got an ashtray to collect roaches in. I love having a vehicle. I can now haul ass through construction zones. I now have a bumper on which to put my "I ~ my dog", my "I + my seal", my "Jesus .'s Dick," my "End Racism, Kill Everybody", my "Butch in the streets, Femme in the sheets" and my Elvis bumper stickers. I can engrave my initials on ex- girlfriends' parents' lawns, pick up hitchhikers, run over pets, get airborne over railroad tracks, wedge a Big-Wheel under my front bumper and drive maniacally through school zones, cut through gas stations and parking lots rather than wait for the light 10 tum green, seriously screw with the your-turn, my-turn social custom at four-way stop signs and yield signs. Heck, I can not yield. Ohrnlgod. one word: tailgate! And, since I have, specifically, a truck. I can push most other cars out of their parking spaces at the mall or wherever. Hey, I can smuggle things. Especially with a truck. Check this out. The last time I was in Florida I noticed the pawn shops were selling guns twenty-five to forty percent cheaper than such businesses up here in the north country. Actually, in my travels, I've noticed most of the South has pretty good deals for your arms dollar, which anybody with a vehicle (such as, of recent, moi), a few connections and a little bit of capitol can get in on. Why, the mark-up on one pistol-grip, twelve gauge pump could cover the gas money to and from, oh, say Atlanta or Memphis. Even more if you know some gullible junior high gangsta muthaf-kas. As long as we're on this smuggling thing, I think the illegal immigrant trade would be a great way to pay for college. Apparently, illegal immigrants from China, Viet-Nam and other points far east are paying upwards of ten grand to be smuggled' into the U.S. Then, when they reach L.A or San Fran or wherever, that's it, they're on they're own, stuck in some West Coast seaport and nowhere to go. it's really awful and my heart goes out to 'em. So, there's a market for some charitable person, for, say, seven hundred to a thousand per, to take these new arrivals to our country wherever in the lower forty-eight they would care to go. Sure, they'd be just as lost wherever they ended up, but at least they'd be stranded in the city of their choice. Ya' know, I could probably fit at least seven of 'em in the back of my truck, which I'm sure is a helluva lot more sanitary than the bilge pump room of some leaky trawler. I've already looked into this a bit (saw a special on 20/20) and less than a quarter of the smugglers are ever caught and of those less than five percent ever serve the maximum jail sentence: a whopping three months. And apparently, the sentences don't go up for repeat offenses. And technically, I'm not even smuggling Mg. Ed. Note- And we at The Ranger News hope others learn the Lesson as well as YOU have To the Editor, Many thanks go out to the students, faculty, and administration for the tremendous showing last Wednesday evening at the budget hearing. I tip my hat to the Parkside Student Government for the long hours put forth to assure organization and recruitment of the number of people they did. I extend my thanks to the Black Student Union and the Hispanic Organization of Parkside for attending in full force. Also, the administrative turn-out from the university was sensational. Finally, that last hardcore group of individuals who were there by 6:00 pm and didn't get the microphone in their hand until nearly 11:00 pm. I envy your determination. All in all, it was a momentous evening for the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. Thanks a million! Tom Richie, PSGA President anyone into the country. Basically, I'd be picking up hitchhikers (for a small, onetime only fee, of course). And on my way to the West Coast I could detour through Memphis or Dallas and pick up some hand guns to cover costs so them immigrants would be pure profit. . I could take a week off maybe once every couple of months, make the trip and get a whole lot more than I'm getting from my student loans now. And ycu'can't say I'm not working for it. There's much more to smuggling than just filling out a few forms to give to Lloyd down at the financial aid office. Not that I dislike Lloyd, he's a rockin' cat, but ya' know I feel like a mooch, living off taxpayers, prostituting myself for an education. When I get money I like to be able to say that I earned it, ya' know? With smuggling I mean ya' gotta make the contacts, sell your service, be cool under pressure in the hick towns and drive casually ... And you, as a smuggler, are bound to come across some real scumballs that ya' gotta know how to handle. Oh, and what if your cargo gets unruly, like they want to eat or somethin'? What else ya' gonna do? I mean, I don't understand Cantonese, sooner or later you're gonna end up havin' ta' smack someone around. And I've never had to smack Lloyd around, ever. Where's a day's labor in that? Now maybe if Lloyd started getting belligerent and wavin' a broken Mad Dog bottle or somethin', I might feel a little better about myself when I pick up my Pell Grant at the cashier's office. Lloyd, dude, ya' gotta change your ways. The times, man, they are a-changin".

Another hit off the album was "Blues Before and After." Yet again, they hit the charts with, in my opinion. their raunchiest of guitar ripping rock ever. With the Fall 1991 came the album Blow Up. With this album came the single "Too Much Passion" which was probably their biggest hit ever . It was their biggest hit for all the right reasons though. "Too Much Passion" is a song on the lighter side that incorporates a puppy love theme with great song writing. Most impressive are the beautiful strings that accompany a clean rhythm and in their recordings.) This gives them a parallel with Alice in Chains, which used string instruments extensively on their recent Jar of Flies album. They were a commercial success, but most of their alternative-like music was earlier in their career. II "I,OIl't argue with anyone d If e ......~ they want to bum "\'11' Roboto." In fact, I'd probably join them!) There also are some other bands and individuals that definitely have had an impact on alternative music. I would say that Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, and Cream had some impact. That is because of the psychedelic nature of some of their best music. 60's psychedelia definitely figures into alternative somewhere, because it has factored into some groups as diverse as Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, and of course catchy chorus. More recently is the song that appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Time Cop. The classic Outsiders tune "Time Won't Let Me" is a perfect example of the basic rock versatility that the Smithereens are capable of. The song is great, but I'm not sure that I can say the same for the movie. Blown To Smithereens contains all these songs and more, sixteen in all. I can honestly say that every song on this album is truly great. Every song is pure Smithereens, which means this is an album that gets back to the basics of great rock n roll. No matter what your tastes, you'll dig it. Soundgarden. And finally. the main thing that Styx, early Genesis, and the other groups have in common with current "alternative" bands is the visceral nature of their music.

MILWAUKEE CLASSIC. The first meet was a 36-hole meet held April 14-15at Dretzka Park GC in Menominee Falls. The first day brought almost-ideal conditions for scoring, with temperatures in the 50s and light winds. After firing a team score of 312 the first day, the Rangers went home with a 10 stroke lead. The second day brought a dramatic increase in winds, much cooler temperatures, and a hard charge by the Division 1 Marquette Golden Eagles. Coming from the pack. the Golden Eagles finished the last day tied with the Rangers with a two-day total of 629. After some debate. the coaches decided to have a team playoff on the first hole. As a result, ten players from Marquette and Parksidc went off the first tee to decide the championship. The fatal blow was delivered by Parkside's Aron Hogden, who sank a 10-foot par putt to put the Golden Eagles away. "Dretzka played tough because of strong winds, wet ground, and it was just a long course," said Brent Heit. Coach Stephens added, "Putting was difficult because the greens were fast and bumpy. The strategy of Slaying below the hole was very important." Ah, yes- the advantages of spring golf. Parkside was led by defending champion Andy Boedecker, who 10talOO 156(76-80). Boedecker finished 3rd, while in 4th was Brent Heit at 157(78-79). Dave Kopp was 5th at 158(76-82), while Aron Hogden and Brad Evans finished out the scoring at 162(86-76) and 164 (82-82). MATC INVITATIONAL On April 17, the Rangers traveled to Cherokee CC in Madison, where they won their second tournament in a TOW. The course was tight, with hazards abounding to gather up any bad shots. However, Dave Kopp played Nick Faldo-like golf and led the Rangers to a 17-stroke victory in the to-team invite. UW-Stevens Point UW-Parkside team splits with UIC The UW-Parkside Baseball team split a doubleheader with the University of Illinois-Chicago winning the first game 9-8 and dropping the second 13-8. Both games were 7 innings. The Rangers record is now 12-13-1 on the year. The first game saw the Rangers hit two homeruns in the top of the seventh inning to take a 9-7 advantage and held on for the I run win. Jamie Karow and Mike DeMeuse hit the homeruns in the seventh. It was Karow's second homerun of the day. Scott Fletcher picked up the win and also hit a homerun to help his cause. placed second behind Parkside's 390 with a team score of 407. Dave Kopp garnered his first Tour victory by firing a 2-over-par 74, winning by two strokes. "These were the best greens we had played on so far. One could finally hit a puu on the right line and look forward to it going in," said Brent Heit. Mother Nature took care of the next two meets that the Rangers were to play in. A triangular meet on April 18 was rained out. while snow on the ground/drainage problems cancelled a trip to Winona, MN April 20-21. However, Coach Stephens feels the team is playing well. Adds Aron Hogden, "I don't feel that we've played our best golf yet." The Rangers have this week to sharpen their games before they journey April 28 to Lake Arrowhead GC in Nekoosa, WI for the Pointer Invitational. Then comes the pi votal tournament- the NCAA Division II District IV Tournament April 30-May I at Deer Track GC in Auburn, IN. The second game saw Mark Sura take the loss. UIC scored 8 runs in the second inning and never looked back. Scon Fletcher hit his second homerun of th day in the nightcap. Shawn Babcock also picked up an RBI triple. UW-Parkside baseball defeats Quincy and Southern Indiana The University of Wisconsin- Parks ide baseball team won two games on Saturday over Quincy University and the University of Southern Indiana. The Rangers record is now 14-13-1. Also. on Saturday Quincy fell to Southern Indiana 5-4. The games scores involving the Rangers were UWP 5-3 over Quincy and UWP 3-2 over Southern Indiana. In the first game, Jeff Lonigro led the Rangers with two hits and two runs scored. The game was broken open in the 5th when a Quincy error led to two Rangers runs. That broke a 3-3 deadlock and put the Rangers in the lead to stay. Mike Davis also had two hits in t he first game. Mike DeMeuse (3-3) went the distance and picked up the win for the Rangers. The second game saw UW-Parkside go down 1-0 after one inning to Southern Indiana. The score stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when Scott Fletcher hit a 3 run homerun to make the score 3-1. Southern Indiana was able to score once in the seventh, but it was not enough as the Rangers came away with their second win of the day. Mark Sura (6-4) went the distance for the Rangers striking out six. Lonigro had two hits and one run scored in the second game. UW-Parkside baseball team splits on Sunday The University of Wisconsin- Parkside's split two games on Sunday losing to Southern Indiana 10-5 and defeating Quincy University 5-4. That leaves the Rangers record at 15-15-1 in Jack Klebesadel's first season as coach of the team. The first game of the day saw Jeff Dykes take the loss as Southern Indiana scored 4 times in the first, once in the second, and three times in the third to take an 8-3 lead. The Rangers scored three in the bottom of the first bill we're only able to muster single runs in the fourth and fifth. For the Rangers Scott Fletcher had a double, single and run scored. Jamie Karow hit a homerun in the bottom of the first. Jeff Lonigro also had a double and run scored. The second game saw Scott Fletcher pick up the win versus Quincy as the Rangers scored three times in the fifth to take a 5-3 lead and hold on to win 5-4.
