Performances also will be given April 24 and 30 and May 1, at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on April 29, at 10 a.m. Since its premiere in 1938, "Our Town," which tells the story of pre-World War I America through the eyes of main characters George Gibbs and Emily Webb, has been presented to countless audiences. But director Joel Murray says UW-Parkside audiences can expect a fresh experience. "We're switching the setting from New Hampshire to Wisconsin, people from the community will be part of the cast along with students, and each night's performance will be introduced by a different community or University leader. This is being done to give the play a 'hometown' feel," said Murray. "Plus, we're going to give the audience what we think is a deli- . dous eyeful in our visual interpretation of the play. This is our way of saying there are new things to see, feel, and contemplate." The cast of "Our Town" will feature, Simon Jon Provan as George, and Allison Phillips as Emily. Supporting players include Timothy Bohn, Elizabeth Brouillette, Katie Dane, Rick Ditter, Sam Goeb, Gil Gonzalez, Dan Grzeskowiak, Elizabeth Hurlbut, Brad Kostreva, Jillian La Vinka, Katie Liddicoat, Kathleen Noodwang, Ami Orava, Joseph Piirto, John Prochniak, Carey Runyard, Anne Schassberger, Matthew Schnaare, Danielle Schuster, Steve Sorenson, Jenny Toutant, and Emily Wagner, Area residents who will appear on stage are Ben Adams, Tim Alders, Ran:dy Brown, Bob Dawson, Doug Despin, Jill Geb, Alex Harris, Matthew Harris, Virginia Hartley, Brittany Hedges, Kathrine Jensen, and Mary Leigh Snider. Director Murray calls "Our Town" a funny, beautiful, haunting story that touches on life, love, and our perceptions of eternity. "It deals with all the big subjects," Murray said. "It's about learning to live life fully and to avoid getting caught up in the trivial details of existence and survival." Tickets for "Our Town" are just $6 for students and senior and $8 for the community. For more information, call ext. 2564.

"leaves of Grass" Comes to life Nicole Morano The poetry of Walt Whitman will be brought to life April 15, at 7 p.m. in the Overlook Lounge of the OW-Parkside Library, by Dr. Bruce Noll. Dr. Noll, a published poet himself, currently is a professor at the University of New Mexico, will present his program entitled "Pure Grass." It is a dramatic interpretation of Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." Whitman is considered by many to be our greatest poet, our most American poet, and our most international poet. A world historical figure, Whibnan was the first modem and first post-modem poet. In 35 years of work on his book, Whitman issued nine volumes called "Leaves of Grass." Each was different in content. Dr. Noll brings this poet to life by adopting voices, manner, costume, and by his dramatic rendering. This makes Whitman's poetry come alive. The program generally lasts about an hour. After his performance, Noll responds to questions and comments about Whitman. The performance is sponsored by UW-Parkside Lectures, the Fine Arts Committee, the Department of English, and Friends of the Parkside Library.

On Wednesday, March 31, the Parkside Activities Board brought the virtual reality versionof Pac-Man to UW-Parkside. Over 80 students took advantage of Virtuality Pac-Man's three-dimensional maze. Classic, fastpaced, arcade action occurred when players chomped at dots while watching out for the ghosts. The Virtuality Pac-Man game is the '90s version A UW~Parkside student blasts ghosts in the Virtuality Pee-Man game outside Union Square. of the old retro-game with Pac-Man dressed in Oakley sunglasses and Nike shoes. The game consisted of five-minute rounds that two players could play at a time. It was set up outside Union Square. The Special Events team of the Parkside Activities Board sponsored Pac-Man. Erin Jones, team coordinator, said she and her team chose Virtuality Pac- Man because Virtual Reality games have been a hit on our campus before and this is a unique version. "We grew up with Atari and Pac-Man," Erin said. "To be able to step in the game and become him, is like a fantasy come true to some students." Students appeared to agree. All seemed excited that the event was free, and that it took place outside in the summer-like weather. Many students returned to play and to challenge their friends to see who could achieve the higher score. According to Kramer International, Inc., the entertainment company that runs the game on campuses, Virtuality Pac-Man is currently one of the top VR games in the country. It has appeared on college campuses nationwide. ITstudents missed Pac-Man, they will still have the opportunity to take in some more of PAB's events this semester. On April 21, in Union Square, the Nightlife Team sponsors Karaoke from 7 to 9 p.m. On April 23, there's a '60s and '70s dance at Union Square. The novelty team will have another free event on April 28, when they sponsor Blizzard of Bucks, and give UW-Parkside students the chance to win money. "Amistad" will be showing on April 16, and "My Best Friend's Wedding" will show on April 28 and 30. Both be shown in the Union Cinema at 8 p.m. and cost $1 for students.

That means layers of clothing will be vanishing off students, and hiding what a winter of relative inactivity has done to your body won't be so easy. It's a time when students evaluate how they feel about dieting, appearance, and fitness. Body imagegenerated eating disorders are a risk for all studentsfemale and male. That's because when the shorts, tank tops, and snug-fitting T-shirts come out of storage, students start stressing over how they look in those clingy things. Well, Penny Lyter, Wellness Director and Professor of Health and Physical Education of University of Wisconsin-Parkside, has two words of advice for you: "Don't diet!" "Dieting is only an quick fix," Penny emphasized. "A quick fix that doesn't work." Eating disorders, Penny said, develop when there is a "need" to lose weight fast, and when the selfesteem is low due to body appearance. It is important, she added, for students to become aware of the kinds of messages they send to themselves. One way to prevent bad habits is to become more educated about healthy and unhealthy ways of eating and exercising. UW-Parkside provides students with free counseling on health issues.

They participated in the 1st Annual UW-Parkside Hunger Cleanup, a program of the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness. Volunteers sought sponsors to pledge them money for their services, raising $1000as of Monday. Bill Ager, a sophomore, raised an impressive $200 in addition to recruiting a team of volunteers! Mike Determan, a freshman, and Jennifer Quall, a junior, each ra.ised $loo! We are very grateful for their outstanding fundraising efforts! In addition, we appreciate the generosity of Judy Christman of the University Activities Office, and her Catholic Knights service group, for donating $150 to Hunger Cleanup. More funds will be collected throughout the week and on Saturday, April 17 during the Hunger Cleanup Benefit Concert, 9pmlam in Union Square. Four bands will be performing- 2 from UW-Parkside and 2 from UWWhitewater. (See Hunger Cleanup Benefit Concert article for more details). .

We also value the participation of the countless individuals who signed up. You all make a difference!

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the following Team Leaders: Bill Ager of PASA, Aaron Baternik, Chante Maywald, and Crystal Silkwood of the Parkside Community Outreach Club (PeOC), Trish Carls of Student WEA, Carrie Chavez of the Physics class, Mike Determan of the Habitat for Humanity Club and PeOC, Heidi Henley and Katie Lohre of Ranger Hall, and Alexis Martin of the Ethnic Diversity internship class. Volunteers painted at Salvation Army and Love & Charity Mission; hung drywall at one Habitat site; gutted a second Habitat house; cleared brush and litter from the Victory Garden at Shalom Center in addition to folding laundry; did intense Spring cleaning at Genesis House and SAFEHaven; played games & did craft projects with children at Homeward Bound; and sorted food at Project Emergency. volunteers learned more about each agency's mission and the services they offer and shared this information during the reflection session at lunch, Vince Shafe of the Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA) encouraged students not to just feel good about the service they performed on Saturday, but to realize that people face hunger and homelessness every day of the year and urged people to make a commitment to continue helping the community in the future. Bill Ager of PASA said' that his group was committed to pursuing fundraising efforts to purchase a jungle gym for the children at Shalom Center. The group sees the value in kids of every background, income, and circumstance having the opportunity to play in a safe, fun outdoor greenspace. We commend this group for its spirit on Saturday and-its vision for the future. Other highlights of the day included hearing Tom Berger, Executive Director of Project Emergency which is a food distribution center, give the Kickoff address. Among sharing local statistics of.hunger and homelessness, he told a story about starfish being washed up on a beach and the debate that ensued among tow people about the worthiness of throwing the starfish back into the sea given that so many of them came in with the tide, making it seem impossible to rescue al! of them. The person who diligently tossed starfish one by one back into the sea said "I sure made a difference in the life of that one." May this be a r~der to all who aid causes that have staggering statistics and heart wrenching stories such as people who are hungry and homeless... keep up the work, as each of us can help bring peace and stability to the lives of the individuals we help. We are all needed to play our role in ending poverty. - I 1.... 22.llrIl15.1999 II Alumni: where are they now This Week's Protile: Dr. Susan Cabel Meridith [umisko While many of us were dreaming of the tooth fairy when we were little, Susan Cabel was dreaming of becoming a dentist when she grew up. While our dreams of a tooth being worth a lot of money to the tooth fairy may not have come true, Dr. Cabel's dreams have come true. Cabel has had her solo, family dental practice since 1985 in Kenosha. She first became interested in dentistry as a child. She saw how much her own dentist, the late Dr. Riley, enjoyed his profession that she, too, wanted to be a dentist. UW-Parkside's program further developed her interest. Cabel graduated from UWParkside in 1981 with a bachelor of biological sciences degree. She took a minor in chemistry. While a student she "studied very hard" and volunteered at an area emergency room. Of her UW-Parkside experience, Cabel said, "I felt it prepared me for my graduate studies and gave me a good foundation of knowledge for my life." She later added that her family supports UW-Parkside, and her two younger sisters followed her here and received business degrees. Cabel received her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at Marquette and then opened her own office. She sees an average of eight to ten patients a day. She has evening hours to accommodate the Kenosha residents who work in Chicago and aren't available for any earlier appointments. In case you were wondering, Cabel says her skills are in "diagnosing perio-disease and decay and restoring teeth to a healthy state." Now, I ask you two very important questions: Have you flossed your teeth lately? More importantly, have you been to your dentist lately?

It is slow in the beginning, has a nice melody, gets going, then I <cream for the chorus. I also like it because it involves the rest of the band.
