Students use a 4 foot by 8 foot posterboard to explain their topic, their research questions and the answers they discovered. Special equipment such as comput- ers, easels, and tables will be made available, and space will be provided for musical and dramatic per- formances . Recognition Day is avail- able to all students who have completed a directed studies course (numbered either 496 or 499) in any department during the past year. "Recognition Day allows students and faculty to see what is taking place in departments other than their own," said Anna Muthu, a 1995 UW- Parkside graduate who par- ticipated in Recognition Day last year. In her study of Narrative Communication, Muthu analyzed stories told by two of her Native American friends . Muthu looked for patterns, how the stories ended, and how the endings reflected the narra- tors' experiences. Michelle Steffens, a Molecular Biology graduate student, will be participat- ing in the Recognition Day for the second year in a row. Last year, Steffens was part of a team directed study, saying the event was "a ful- filling experience to see what goes on in other labs and departments ." This year, Steffens is detecting and characterizing mariner- like transposable elements in Tribolium Castanium and will present her procedures of research and her find- ings . Directed study gives the hands-on experience that most traditional classroom- oriented courses lack. A directed study strengthens the resume and appeals to potential employers . To enroll in directed study, students must meet the specified GPA require- ments in their field of study and designate a fac- ulty member to endorse their research. Directed study is designed for self- motivated , headstrong individuals with the initia- tive to get the job done. "Undergraduates put a lot of work into their pro- jects , and it's better to get recognition campus-wide than from just two or three professors," said Profe s sor Dale Wheeler of the chem- istry department . "It's good to be recognized by your peers ." The deadline for submis- Dr. Dale Wheeler sion is Thursday, March 21.

Health Care Lecture • Genevieve Guran Staff Writer people who seek treatment of relatively minor ailments in hospital emergency rooms. According to Wilk, 75% of those people can be helped by a visit with a nurse. Student Employm ent and the Career Center held its annual Summer Job Fair on March 5th and 6th. A total of 18 summer employers took applications from enthusiastic students dur- ing those two days. Freshman Sarah Bailey has been searching for a new sum- mer job for about a month. After seeing the diverse opportunities available at the Summer Job Fair, Bailey may be closer to the end of her search. . "The Job Fair was really informative," said Bailey. "I got a lot of ideas about jobs that I b never would have thought of efore." Many students have already se~ured a summer job. If you ~issed the Job Fair, and still t _ave nothing lined up there's 1 me t ' e O apply with many of the mployers . Here is a sample of what's available in the area. The Cities of Kenosha and Racine, along with their County parks, are hiring maintenance and golf course staff, starters, lifeguards, and concessions workers. Several job openings exist for the summer. Or if you would rather spend the summer at beautiful Lake Michigan, give Racine Reefpoint Marina a call. They need dock attendants, dockhands, security staff, deli store workers, clean- ing and maintenance help. Perhaps you're looking for the continuous summer party; why not apply at Summerfe_st -:; Milwaukee World Festivals. They are taking applications f?r operations and security staff, m addition to food and beverage staff. Applications are available in the Career Center. "Health Care for Low Income and Homeless People" was the topic of a lec- ture March 6 given by Joan Wilk, Associate Professor in the UW- Milwaukee/UW-Parkside consortia! nurs- ing program and director of the Shalom Community Nursing Center. The lecture was given as part of the university's Soup and Substance lecture series. Wilk discussed the importance of nurs- ing centers like the one at the Shalom Center (a homeless shelter and soup kitchen in Kenosha) as a means of deal- ing with the needs oflow-income and homeless people who do not have the health insurance or resources to seek a physician's care on a regular basis. The Shalom Nursing Center is a com- munity-based academic nursing center, one of three such sites affiliated with UW-Milwaukee's School of Nursing. In addition to providing a valuable clinical experience for nursing students, it is the primary source of health care for many of the guests of the Shalom Center. It is also a response to the large number of The nurses, nurse practitioners, and students provide primary health care, screening, and case management as well as promoting sound health and nutrition practices. The nurses commonly deal with health issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, gastrointestinal prob- lems, respiratory illness, emotional prob- lems, and nutrition-related illness. Nursing centers provide the continuity in health care as well as the compassion that is often lacking in emergency rooms. Also, Wilk notes, taking health care to the people makes it more likely that they will receive early treatment of illnesses . It is estimated that there are 400 homeless people in Kenosha on any given night and far more low income people. They, like all of us, want and need quali- ty, compassionate health care. Practical, cost-effective and convenient centers such as the Shalom Nursing Center help to provide it. Celebrate VVomen's History Month with Novelist Christine Christie • Kristine Ziesemer Guest Writer UW-Parkside English Senior Lecturer Christine Christie, a pub- lished poet and non-fiction writer, has recently completed completed her first novel. Red Diaper Baby is an autobio- graphi~al account of her experiences as a young girl with her family. The term "red diaper baby " is used to describe children of those considered to be politically left . Christie's mother was actively involved in advocating equal rights for African-Americans , and she was also a union organizer. Very few women were involved in organizing unions back in the 1930's. These positions were large- ly thought of as men's jobs. Women's entries into these areas seemed radi- cal: Christie said her "mother was ahead of her time." In Red Diaper Baby Christie's family is harassed for expressing their convic- tions. Forced to change locationd, they frequently moved from place to place. "I grew up feeling many times like an outsider in my own country," said Christie. ''You don't have to be from politically-left families to feel that ." Those same feelings are shared by many ethnic people in this country. The book also deals with Christie searching for clues and ·information about her father who died when she was young. "There are many unan- swered questions regarding his disap- pearance that I'd like resolved." Unfortunately Red Diaper Baby is not available in bookstores. However, stu- dents, faculty and staff can listen to Christie read and discuss her book on Monda y, March 25 at 4 pm in the Wyllie Library's Overlook Lounge. This is a good chance to meet a woman writer who is indeed making her own mark on history. Summer Job Cont.

The Perfect Summer • Aaron Kapellusch Feature Writer Now that the snow is melted and the geese have begun to fly north by the hundreds, you may have started to think ahead to summer. Yes, summertime. Time to lay on the beach, get a tan, play volleyball. Okay, the real meaning of sum- mertime for most of us is trying to work as much as possible to stash some cash away fro the upcoming school year. If you are not one of these people, or want to find some- thing that you think might be enjoy- able, don't grab that highlighter and page through those classifieds just yet . There are much easier ways to start your job search. Before you even decide to look for a job, there are a few important · things to ask yourself first. What kinds of things do I enjoy to do and am good at as well? Is it something that will help me later after school with my occupation? What kind of hour s do I want to work? It is important to hav e some sort of id ea of what you would like to do, because there are so many opportu- nities for college students, that there is sure to be something that you are looking for. (Unless you are looking for that mythical job where you get to sleep and get paid for it.) Once you have an idea of what you would like to do, then it's time to start looking . On campus there is a vast resource of job listings. A great place to check some of these out in the Student Employment Center down in WYLL Dl 75. There are several books of listings that you can page through there, both for local and out-of-town work. If the thought of going back home to live with your parents for another summer just doesn't agree with you, then check out listings for jobs at various National Parks, private resorts, and children's camps. These jobs offer a chance to be away from home . Alaska might be a good place for you if you think that no place is far enough away from home. These jobs offer decent wages, often charge very reasonable or free room and board, and sometimes give you weekly spending allowances in addi- tion to your regular pay check. Once you have found some poten- tial jobs, send out some resumes , if required, and schedule some inter- views . As a small business owner, the most important thing that I look for when talking to someone who wants a job is dependability. This is the reason why you should think a lot about what kind of jobs and hours you are interested in. If you show that you are · a dependable per- son, then more than likely you are ahead of the game. Another thing you should do when interviewing for a job is be honest. If you try to say you have experi- ence that you don't, the employer is m ore than lik ely to see right through it. If they don't catch on during the interview, they will the first day of work when you haven't clue as to what you are doing. If you are asked if you know how to do something and don't know how, then just tell the employer, "No, but I would like to learn." Employers like people who show ini- tiative. The final piece of advice I can give you is just be yourself, and don't get nervous because the per- son interviewing you is probabaly just as nervous as you are. The summer it is time to find that job that you have been hoping for since the time that you were old enough to obtain a work permit. Don't sell yourself short as to what you can do because the resources are out there just waiting to be used by you. So update that resume and start to think about summer. And beware: summer is just around the corner! ~ + l Become ,.lf o.l\d otJ I \ft+ ne.
