"I talked with the people going out to buy supp-lies for our Dracula production, and they told me they were pretty sure the car was there when they left," explained University of Wisconsin-Parkside theatre manager Keith Harris, who initially report- ed the incident to University police. "They made about three stops and when they returned about 35 minutes later, the car was still there," said Harris.

Photo by Scott Malik University Outreach Teaches Inmates Lessons Behind Bars BY MARK HAHN NEWS EDITOR About twice a week, a new group of inmates are shuttled \- - into the Racine Correctional :y- Institute in Sturtevant, Wis .. Upon arrival, inmates are required to attend a reception-ori- entation program where they are given a rule book and briefed on prison rules, available programs 0: and what expectations are set up for them by prison officials. This week, another group of individuals are being escorted through those same ragged barbed-wire and chain-linked gates and given instruction on prison policy, procedure and reg- ulations. But the members of this group aren't being assigned to a room in the housing unit and given a roo- mate. Where they are being placed, however, are in class- rooms set up specifically to intro- duce inmates to nonviolent mod- els of heroism through the study of humanities. The classes are part of the Prison Outreach Award Program that is underway this fall at the Racine Correctional Institute. The program is open to inmates with a high school diploma, and are taught by a group of 15 instructors from the University of Infants Abandoned at UWP Loading Dock: One-year-old boy, girl found crying Wisconsin-Parks ide. Classes in philosophy, sociolo- gy, theatre and literature will be taught with the expectation that participating inmates can use the skills learned in these classes to help them make the right choices when they return to society and not become repeat offenders. There are 15-20 inmates per class, which are being taught on Mondays and Wednesdays. "I have five returning students, and they keep coming back when classes are offered," said Roseanne Mason, a specialist at the Writing Center who is partic- ipating in the program. "We have one student who has been coming crying inside of it and [he 1 wanted to know who the child belonged to." Harris said that he reached his hand into the window and unlocked the back door, and that was when he saw there were actu- ally two children inside instead of one. "Surely someone shot off for a second, but why give them the benefit of the doubt hav- ing two infants unattended?" explained Harris. "I'm not sure where you get a mind- set to do something like that." UW-Parkside police chief Robert Deane said that a check was run on the vehicle in an attempt to find out who the vehicle belonged to, but no one returned to the car. University Police are currently withold- ing the name of the vehicle's owner pending investigation. ... INFANTS, cont, on page. 2 since our very first grant project, and we also have a 'lifer' who keeps coming back. It's fortunate that they are trying to make the best of their situation." Mason said the theme of the class she teaches is "What is an everyday Hero?" The class is cur- rently reading a book called, Warriors Don t Cry. The book is about school integration in Little Rock, Ark. in 1957. Mason said that her students are being asked to pick out characters in the book that they think are heroes. "We expect certain conflict of ideas to develop, but it can be helpful," explained Mason. "The topic lends itself for getting dif- ferent perspectives, and one of the main requirements is that inmates both listen and respect other people's opinions." Mason said that next week, her class will be discussing what this means on a broader scale, and examine why individuals have these perspectives and explore where they come from. At her last class, Mason said inmates were asked to write down their description of a hero. "One man said. 'It's easy to find a television hero, but they're not real heroes.' • LESSONS, cont. on page 2 < Books by Ralph Hollenbeck UWP Team walks for AIDS BECKYSCHLEVENSKY RANGER REPORTER AIDS kills. How many peo- ple have known someone who has died from AIDS? If they haven't, statistics show that everyone will be effected by this disease somehow. On Sept. 22, 12,614 people rallied and walked in a fight against -AIDS at the 7th annual AIDS Walk Wisconsin In Milwaukee. The rally began with an Opening Ceremony where Bette Midler spoke and 'revved' everyone up. The Ceremony intensified the overwhelming spirit of the struggle against AIDS. Following the Opening Ceremony, the 6.2 mile walk began at the Summerfest Grounds. All walkers, receiving donations from sponsors, raised together $1,005,042, surpassing the goal of $1,000,000. Sandy Puzerski, along with Jeanne Sanchez, assembled the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide team which participated in AIDS Walk Wisconsin event. The team of 25-30 students and faculty were motivated by the intense spirit of this fight. Many of the .people who participated are look- ing forward to rallying again next year. Puzerski stated, "I am already strategizing for next year's AIDS Walk Wisconsin and hope that a lot more students will join us." Carthage College also attended the Walk with a busload of 100 students and faculty who made their presence known. Next year UW-Parkside's goal is to organize a team that will be big- ger and more enthusiastic than Carthage.

The Prison Outreach Award Program is the onIy one of its kind at any Wisconsin prison. Inmates could previously acquire Pell Grants to pay for college tuition, and this prompted many universities to offer courses on- site at prisons. But the federal government prohibited an inmate's access to Pel! Grants in 1994. The program has served 120 students since its inception in Jan. 1995, funded by consecutive $2,000 grants from the Wisconsin Humanities Council (WHC). This year, the university was awarded a $10,000 grant from the WHC to continue its Prison Outreach Award Program. Other UW-Parkside staff mem- bers involved in the program include: Ngure Wa Mwachofi, Farida Khan, Roby Rajan, Jean Thieme, Anne Statham and John Schmidt. 4th Monday (9123); 2nd Tuesday (10/8); 4th Thursday (10/24); 2nd Wednesday (11113); 4th Wednesday (3/26); 2nd Monday (4/8); and, if needed, 4th Tuesday (4/24). The Ranger News regrets the above errors. Infants cont. from page 1 "We couldn't tell if someone had just ran into the building or abandoned them," explained Deane. "We were lucky the chil- dren weren't injured and the weather wasn't too hot or too cold. We were also lucky that no one came by and walked away with them." The police chief said Social Services was notified of the inci- dent, and referred University Police to the Juvenile Crisis Center in Kenosha for further action. "A worker came out with the intent ofturning the children over to their parents, " said Deane. "It was a happy ending to what could have been a sad story." Deane said that students and staff are encouraged to notify University police if they find children or animals unattended in a parked vehicle. "It could become a health haz- ard," Deane said. SUSPECTS, by Thomas Berger (Morrow: $23,(0). A meld of Sir Walter Scott's "Oh, what a tangled web we weave" and Sir William Gilbert's "The policeman's lot isnot a happy one" would provide anideal summation of THomas Be.rger's latest novel. Berger, author of such best-sellers as "Little Big Man" and "Neighbors," himself has one of his characters describe the commitment that uniforms and plainclothesmen (and women) in law enforcementas- sume. "The job makes a lot of demands on you, and usually comes before your personal life," Nick Moody, Detective First Grade, states. "The public never sees the worst of what you confront day after day ... Sickening stuff you never suspected was possible, at least not in this country. You're not only sup- posed to handle it but rise above it and go on to something that's worse, and then rise above that and still be human." Ironically, Moody, diverted from his planned suicide, offers that advice to one Lloyd Howland, whose sudden appreciation of Moody and the Force is one of those O. Hen- ryesque twists in Berger's narrative. Lloyd, a drifter, had been one ofthe suspects in the particularly gruesome murder of his sister-in-law, Donna, and his young niece. So was Lloyd's half-brother, Larry, the rising young salesman whose supposed business trip masked a tryst with his boss' amoral wife. Even the police arenot as true blue as one could hope. Berger's burrowing beneath the green sod of suburbia lays bare the rather unpleasant reality of much small-town life in a most engrossing fiction.
