Ranger News won its first round matchup against Geography Club on Monday Jan. 29. The second and final round against PSGA turned out to be the decisive one because two teams forfeited. The Ranger News team was headed by Jim Hendrickson, Editor-in- Chief. Monday's team includ- ed Scott Fragale, April Schoenberg, and Andy Boedecker. Wednesday's team included Fragale, Andy Von Dissen, and Karen Diehl. Because not all of the Ranger team could attend regionals, the Parkside team will consist of Hendrickson, Diehl, Von Dissen and PSGA's Zac Pawlowski Bill would limit Student Choice • David C. Stacy Special to Ranger News Student life is more than just going to class - it is being part of a university community in which stu- dents learn by exploring a wide variety of student groups, athletic opportuni- ties and pre-professional experiences. Most of these activities are funded through student-segregated fees. A bill recently int~oduced in the State Assembly would severely restrict student learning opportunities out- side of the classroom by requiring a positive check- off for all student fees except those for debt service and facilities maintenance. Assembly Bill 778, intro- duced by Representative Glenn Grothman (R-West Bend), would mandate a sin- gle positive check-off for funding of all student activi- ties, including inter-colle- giate athletics, intramural athletics, student group funding, health services, union/student center pro- gramming, student newspa- pers, student radio stations, and student governance. This bill would radically impact the quality of a UW education by dramatically limiting the non-instruction- al, educational student activities. At risk are stu- dent groups that bring speakers to campus; provide social opportunities outside of the "bar scene"; and teach students about politics, jour- nalism, marketing, creative writing, budgeting, volun- teerism, and much more. If even a few students decided not to pay an option- al segregated fee, many important university pro- grams like tutoring, athlet- ics, and student radio sta- tions would not be adequate- ly funded. It would be impossible to budget, or make any commitments to employees under such a sys- tem. 1b make up for defi- ciencies, students electing to pay the 'fee would ultimately have to pay much higher amounts. If this bill passes, there will be fewer outside lec- tures, fewer student groups in which to participate, a reduction in intramural activities, and fewer jobs for students on campus. This bill would destroy the university community. As our society looks for ways to help people feel connected to one another, it is ridiculous to undermine the traditional university community which "" ESTABLISHED 1972 has been able to build these connections among people. Student groups provide valuable learning experi- ences and professional development, and the legis- lature has no reason to step in and restructure the entire student fee allocation process without regard to the detrimental impact it will have. Students fee allocation is currently determined by democratically elected stu- dent governments based on internal campus guidelines and UW System policy, with oversight by the Chancellor and the UW System Board of Regents. Fees cannot be used to fund religious or politically partisan activi- ties, There is no reason for the legislature to meddle with the university's student fee policies. The process works well, and Wisconsin is a national leader in providing valuable extra-curricular experiences for its students. This adds immeasurably to the quality of our education. United Council is the nation's oldest and strongest state student association, representing over 140,000 students on 24 UW System campuses. Karen Diehl is the most photogenic member of the team.

It has also been proven that regular exercise increases the amount of blood flow to the brain, allowing us to better focus on learning. There is also a correspon- dence to mental stimulation and the growth of nerve cells in the brain. The more you challenge your brain, the more information it can store and process. So a bal- anced daily diet of studying and exercise can build your muscles and beef up your brain. Tholittle mental stimulation and exercise could possibly get you a job as a stand-in on "Beavis & Butthead" ... (Insert appro- priate laugh here), Getting into a regular fit- ness routine for some sounds overwhelming. What pops into your mind when you hear the word "exercise"? Probably a per- son soaking wet with per- spiration running countless laps around a track, right? While for some, this is a pleasurable workout, for the vast majority of people it is something they would rather not think about. Don't fret, there are plenty of things that are no where near as grueling as that. You need to choose some- thing that you consider fun, so you will stick to the goals that you choose. Try an organized sport that you are interested in, or something with a group of friends. • Aaron Kapellusch Feature Writer Okay, it is now February and you haven't been as good about those New Year's resolutions as you had promised. Those couple of extra pounds have just been waiting for the right time to free themselves from your body. The miles you vowed to run everyday during the upcoming year, along with a list of shalts and shalt nots, has once again been put off until next year. Now that a whole month has gone by since the first of the year, we should not sit and dwell on what we have not done and make excuses, but instead get back on track. If your resolutionts) were about health- related improvements such as eat- ing healthier or getting into a regu'lar fitness routine, there could be no better time to start than now! I know that you have heard over and over again the benefits of regular exercise and a balanced diet, but there are many reasons why living healthier is especially good for college students. Regular exercise will give you more energy, as will eating the right foods. This time of year when the weather is bitterly cold, a common reaction of many people is to lay around and hibernate. The fact of the matter is that this just cre- ates more feelings of "cabin fever". Exercise helps to Alternative Sports at Parkside ASAP • Amanda Bulgrin Staff Writer get a workout" Kremer said. He added, "It is a very wel- coming environment and anyone can play." Atournament is being planned for April in Madison where twelve to sixteen teams will be com- peting. Practices are held on Thursdays from 7:00-9:00 in the gym. Everyone is wel- come and encouraged to come and try Ultimate Frisbee. According to Kremer, experience or know- how ofthe game is not necessary because everyone is willing to teach newcomers how to play. If Frisbee isn't your game, A.S.A.P. also offers a variety of nontraditional sports. Mountain biking and paint ball wars are two of the more popular sports within the club. The club is also planning a ski trip to Cascade Mountain in the near future. Tournaments for darts, pool, and bowling are some other options that will soon be added. The new year brings many resolutions and often broken promises to one's self. If you, like many oth- ers, decided that as of the first of this year you were going to get into shape, but have not started to exercise, there are fun and exciting ways to be able to slip into those new jeans. A.s.A.P., Alternative Sports at Parkside, offers enjoyable ways to stay in shape. Ultimate Frisbee, for example, is a non-contact sport that stresses sports- manship and fair play while giving a great cardiovascu- lar workout. The game, which is played outdoors with seven players per team, is a challenging com- bination of football, basket- ball, and soccer. Tom Kremer, director of A.S.A.P., is working to put together a college team at UW-Parkside.
