Sperm bank confines donors to scholarly set A new sperm bank in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu will accept donations only from academics who have achieved at least the rank of associate professor, according to the Associated Press. The "Notables' Sperm Bank" was opened by a state family-planning agency, the A.P. said, quoting a report from the government run Xinhua News Agency. The bank is receiving many calls from professors seeking to make donations, Xinhua reported. But the news agency did not indicate whether women seeking the sperm had to meet any academic requirements. Some professors have questioned the premise behind the new venture. Zhang Sizhong, a genetics professor at Huaxi Medical University, told Xinhua that the sperm of academics may be no better than anyone else's.

Yep. "The Austin Powers" sequel? Yeah, baby! "Big Daddy? Sure, you we're there. "Sixth Sense?" Been there, no sweat. And, of course, "Episode One" was almost mandatory. So there's no way you could impress your friends with your knowledge of these movies. But have you consider foreign films? The UW-Parkside Foreign Film Series is loaded with great movies that your friends probably have never seen. Think how impressed they'll be when they're discussing fluff like "The Blair Witch Project" and you start talking about that great Brazilian film "Central Station." They'll think, "I didn't even know you spoke Brazilian!" Actually, it's in Portuguese with English subtitles. Or while their still talking about R2D2 and Anakin Skywalker, you'll be conversant in Irish films like "Waking Ned Devine" and "The General." The UW-Parkside Foreign Film Series brings 14 exceptional films, films that have won awards all over the world-including quite a few Oscars-to the Union Cinema Theater. Season tickets for the series are now on sale and UW-Parkside students can get them for just $23. This year's program includes double Academy Award-winner "Life Is Beautiful," the epic Serbian film "Underground." Academy Award Best Foreign Film nominees "Central Station," "Children of Heaven," and Russia's "The Thief and nine more. These are the best films the world has to offer and series director Norm Cloutier says it's a "great entertainment value. The $23 student season ticket comes out to less than $1.75 per movie. The series starts this weekend with "Three Season," a film from Vietnam. It is in English and features a brief appearance by Harvey Keitel.

Although there are few documented cases of violence regarding Universities, the shootings in Colorado have served as a gruesome wake-up call as to what may loom ahead, and has caused col­leges to reevaluate the safety measures surrounding schools. Timothy Quinnan assistant dean for student services at Raymond Walters College has shed light on the questions concerning safety at the University level. "In the wake of the killings in Colorado, everyone seems to have a theory about why adolescents act out their impulses in such a violent manner. Some people blame dark dimensions of popular culture, such as violent video games, movies, music, or web sites and chat rooms. If our culture's endorsements of violence are a contributing factor to young people's aggression, college students are probably no better equipped to resist it that high-school students are," said Quinnan. Students disagree. Two students interviewed, John Lorge and Rehana Mohammed, College students are sometimes forced to juggle a full load of credits, a full-time job, as well as family and social life. "Free time" can become a foreign word from some other country. If this sounds familiar then you are probably suffering from stress. Being stressed-out is not unique. Everyone has experienced stress. Today, however, stress is more constant with the fast paced lifestyles we live. So what is stress exactly? Stress is your physical, emotional, and mental response to change. Stress can come from pressure at home, at work, in the environment, or from personal matters. It is very important to your health to be aware of stress in your life. Your stress level affects your immune and nervous systems, heart function, metab­olism, and hormone levels. Stress can effect your recovery from as well as your susceptibility to illness. Some symptoms of stress include: • Problems eating or sleeping • Increased use of alcohol or drugs • Increased procrastination • Frequent headaches, backaches, or muscle aches • Frequent colds or infections • Inability to concentrate • Nightmares There are things you can do to deal with stress. Here are ten easy ways to help you prevent stress: 1. Define your limits - know how many things you can take on at once and stand by your decisions. 2. Set goals - Short-term attainable goals will provide a sense of accomplishment. 3. Don't procrastinate - Doing it now will allow free time later. 4. Take breaks - taking a short break can give you a fresh perspective, make yourself your priority. 5. Make lists - Lists serve not only as good reminders but will also help you visualize your schedule 6. Eat balanced meals - good nutrition gives the body the fuel it needs to endure stress. 7. Exercise - physical activity will help to work away your tension. 8. Ask for help - your friends are probably stressed too, help each other! 9. Sleep - Lack of sleep will leave you moody, angry and vulnerable to ill­ness. 10. Laugh - Laughter lowers the blood pressure and increases blood flow to the brain. It also provides the easiest way of dealing with stress. If you feel you have a serious stress-related problem and need help the Student Health and Counseling Center on campus provides free professional counseling for a variety of issues, including: general anxiety, academic prob­lems, relationships, depression, and parenting. "It's common now for U.S. high schools to have security guards, surveillance systems, or metal detectors. How do universities compare?" - Timothy Quinnan felt safe because college had a more relaxed atmosphere. Lorge said, "I do think campus security is good. I see them around enough that their presence is felt, but not too much. Quinnan cited some other major sources for concern in the University system. "Most troubling is how unprepared universities are to deal with outbreaks of violence. It's common now for U.S. high schools to have security guards, surveillance systems, or metal detectors. How do universities compare? We seldom use security devices, instead we settle for parking-lot patrols, or escorts for stu­dents going to their cars after night classes." Colleges seem unequipped to deal with on-campus violence. But, UW-Parkside is taking positive steps to prepare for violence on campus. For starters back at the end of August a joint exercise between Parkside's police department and the county's Special Weapons and Tactical team was organized to carry out a mock hostage taking. The SWAT team consisted of specially trained and equipped personnel from the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department, Kenosha Police Department and Pleasant Prairie Police Department. The object of the team is to respond to situations that require expertise, and attempt to resolve the situation without resorting to violence. The team included a logistics unit, negotiators and a patrol unit. Some 35 personnel from those departments participated in the simulated hostage taking staged in the Parkside administrative building hous­ing the chancellor's office. The pre-planned exercise began when Parkside called for outside help, which uncovered communication glitches in trying to synchro­nize the actions of the combined agencies. The team successfully secured the lower floors of the building, as they made their way to the upper floor, site of the chancellor's office. The team then effec­tively negotiated the trade of one of the volunteer hostages for a can of soda. "Some wrinkles have to be worked out, but it went fairly smooth," said Parkside Police Chief Robert Deane. The exercise proved to be beneficial practice for the departments to pull their forces together. In addition to the Police officers on duty who make periodic rounds throughout the campus, this simulated hostage take-over is an important step for the campus police in preparing for real-life situations. What about safety matters concerning on campus housing and the students who reside there? Parents sending their children off to school, hope that the university will provide a safe and secure living environment. DeAnn Stone, Director of Residence Life, provided some answers as to how they are insuring safe dwellings. Residence Life has several Resident Advisors on duty each night during the semester. In addition, a professional staff member lives in each building. As far as prevention is concerned, the RA staff is trained in mediation and discipline skills. Also, the RA's meet with each room or apartment to discuss a room/apartment agreement, in order to avoid conflict. It is also the RA's job to get involved in mediating potential disagreements between students. These are just some of the ways in which UW-Parkside is attempting make a secure environment. What can students do to make this a safer place? Discuss the issues of school violence, although we may not want to think about the issues at hand, they affect all of us. Take every threat seriously. Students and faculty need to tell college officials when a threat occurs. Administrators have an obligation to follow up on such reports. Given the past inci­dents concerning school violence students cannot take these matters lightly.
