Sometimes people in power attempt to censor in order to protect others from information they feel might damage them. This may seem harmless, but it in fact is one of the most insidious forms of censorship. Whenever anyone wants to limit information for a higher good or the good of everyone involved, be wary. It may be easy to allow one instance of censorship to slip by, but it can and will quickly turn into a flood that can never be stopped. I'll now try to turn this into a shameless plug for joining The Ranger staff Free speech needs writers to expose, discuss and enlighten the students. Do your part in revealing what's right and wrong with UWP. Skidmore college official disposes 011,000 copies 01 student newspaper Erik Lords, Chronicle of Higher Education New York's Skidmore College's admissions director admitted to stealing more than one thousand copies of the student newspaper to prevent prospective students and their parents from seeing a graphic story about an incident of anti-gay bias. The Skidmore News on November 5 published a front page article that described how a truck parked near a house for gay and lesbian student was smeared with human feces and tagged with a strip of soiled toilet paper. Last Monday, the day of a campus open-house event for high-school students, about 1,000 of the 2,500copies of the weekly paper disappeared from bins in the student center. Editors of the newspaper reported the theft to the police in Saratoga Springs, NY.,where Skidmore is located. Last week, campus officials questioned Mary Lou W. Bates, the admissions director, about the theft. She admitted that she and two of her employees had taken the papers out of the bins early Monday morning and put them out for recycling, according to Robert S. Kimmerle, a spokesman for the college. Ms. Bates told Skidmore officials that she thought the high-school students and parents who would be visiting the college might be offended by the article's graphic photographs and language. Ms. Bates, who was out of town recruiting on Friday, could not be reached for comment. In a statement Thursday, she apologized to the paper and to everyone at Skidmore. "1reacted as a parent and not as a director of admissions," said Bates. "[Removing the papers] was a single action, and it was not directed from anyone above;' Ms. Studley said. "1view this as an appalling and deeply disappointing variance from the longstanding commitment that we have to openness and the exchange of ideas on campus." Shawn McCormack, the editor in chief of the student paper, said he stands by the cover story, despite its blunt material. "We didn't want to tone the story down or butter it up," he said. "Our coverage shows sort of the dread that these students must have come across. 1think it was a good decision. The newspaper's staff struck back in the latest issue of the Skidmore News. The cover is blank, except for one sentence at the bottom, an attributed excerpt of Ms. Bates' statement accepting responsibility for the incident: "1 made the decision to remove the remaining copies of the November 5th issue of the Skidmore News from Case Center." 4 ranger I news briels IIGetting Dutil continues at Wegner Theater The final four performances of the powerful drama "Getting Out" will be held this morning and this weekend at the Augie Wegner Studio Theater on campus.

The seniors, advised by Professor Jonathan Shailor, decided their senior project would be helping kids learn about protecting the environment and seeing college as a future possibility. The excited children, led by their teachers Mrs. Allen and Ms. Basquez, started their day at the UW-Parkside cross-country course. The kids worked hand-in-hand with the seniors to clean up the debris that had been left there or that had blown there by highway traffic. "I love the way the kids are bonding with our students;' said Shailor. Next, the group headed into the University for some games on recycling. The students ran relays to sort recyclable into their correct containers. The children also took part in a question-and-answer learnmg senes. After lunch, the students participated in art projects. Together, the UW-Parkside and Columbus students formed works of art from what others had seen as "useless garbage." Senior Mike Berry called the day, "An adventurous and enlightening experience. " The kids' excursion also included a guided tour of the University and an appearance by school mascot Ranger Bear. During the tour, the younger students were able to gain a sense of college life and what it takes to go to college. "Parkside is definitely so awesome!" said one Columbus student. The day turned out to be a unique learning experience for all of the students, regardless of their age. GET EXPERJ:ENCE AND GET PAJ:DI Do you love working with children? Do you like challenging work?

Guests will hear familiar songs like "Twelve Days of Christmas;' but with a twist. "The first person sings, 'On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me...' and then sings 'a partridge in a pear tree' in Chinese. The next one sings 'Two turtle doves' in another language." "The celebration of Kwanza is built around story-telling, so I always have at least two stories. One of them is a staple of the show called the "Talking person can celebrate Christmas, another can celebrate Hanukkah, and still another can celebrate Kwanza without diminishing the importance of anyone else's holiday. .

Check us out at Wyllie D-139C Parkside will be the site of Wisconsin's first-ever Business Information Center (BIC).Working in partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration, the UWParkside mc will provide local businesses and entrepreneurs with a onestop source for information to make their companies grow and prosper. UW-Parkside Dean of the School of Business and Technology Richard Stolz said the mc will put vital information at local business people's fingertips. "The Business lnformation Center will have a large library and will give business people lntemet access. That will make vast amounts of information available on business development. The mc also will have full-lime staff and student volunteers to help people determine what information they need and help them find it quickly;' Stolz said. Stolz called the BIC a tremendous learning opportunity for UW-Parkside faculty and students. He said students will get hands-on experience working with businesses to prepare business plans as well as the opportunity to network with a wide variety of business people. Stolz said UW-Parkside will work with existing development agencies in southeast Wisconsin to help business people get the maximum value from the BIC This information also will be available to business people throughout Wisconsin via the worldwide web. "This is a tool to educate business people on ways they can be successful. Ifthey have questions about regulations, taxes, employment laws, or marketing strategy, the BIC will do the research and give them the answer. That will save them money on consulting fees and help them avoid future regulatory problems;' said Vince Ruffolo, president and CEO of Racine's Superior Industrial Coating and a member of the SBA's National Advisory Council Executive Committee. Ruffolo calls this marriage of business and education a win-win situation for students and business people. He credits outgoing SBA official and former congressman Peter Barca for making the BIC possible. Stolz also praised the SBA's Milwaukee /Madison representative Michael Kiser for helping make the UWParkside mc a reality. "Right now there is no single source of business information for business people here. People at the Business Information Center will have the lime to sit down with them and help them get the information they need. And the mc is ideal for people with homebased businesses;' Kiser said. UW-Parkside is one of the first colleges in the country to have a Business Information Center. The University WIll renovate space for the center in Tallent Hall and provide student staff. The center is expected to open in early 2000.

Herbert Pitt~(Assistant to the Chancellor for Equity and Diversity, was a guest speaker. 1"\espoke on his purpose at the University and how he can help students that may have issues on campus about ethnicity. The issue of campus police on campus was brought up to him, in which he responded that the reason there are not more police officers of color at Parkside is because Parkside cannot afford to pay them enough. "They recruit fairly," Pitts said in his speech, "But minorities turn down our [police] positions because they can make more money working for Racine, Kenosha, and the State." Next Wednesday, December 8th, there will be a open meeting about the 'police issue' for any students to attend. The senate munched on chicken wings while the next guest speaker spoke on parliamentary procedure. Some senators, along with myself, had to leave in the middle of this speaker's speech. Because they had started late, they were going to run over their Ip.m, cut off, which again is just another commonality in the PSGA.

This year, to honor all those who have died from HIV/AIDS, the Peer Health Educators, along with the Womyn's Center and the Gay and Lesbian Organization (GLO), sponsored the display of two sections of the AIDS Memorial Quilt. It was shown in the Main Place for a good portion of the day. The AIDS Memorial Quilt, started in San Francisco in 1987 by gay rights activist Cleve Jones and a group of volunteers, is the largest on-going community arts project in the world. Each of the over 42,960 colorful and moving panels in the Quilt were made to remember the life of a single person lost to AIDS.Panels are 3 feet by 6 feet, symbolizing the size of a human grave. As the epidemic claims more lives, the Quilt continues to grow. The Quilt stands for more than just the tens of thousands of people whose names are sewn into the fabric. It stands, as well, for the sorrow, anger, love and hope of the people who made the panels. Chad Colombari, Co-Captain of the Peer Health Educators, was on the scene answering questions. "We had to sign up way in advance to make sure the quilt would be here, but it wasn't difficult. The quilt evokes a lot of thought. We wanted Parkside students to think and remember all the people who have been lost to the disease. We also have a tape running that has names of people who have passed away. Just these two sections we have here speak so much," Colombari said. The Womyn's Center also had a table set up next to the Quilt. They were selling AIDS Day t-shirts, "We've sold a couple of shirts but not as many as we'd liked. We have a lot left so there's a very good chance that we will still be selling them after today," said volunteer Joel Eaves. GLO also set up a table. The CoPresident, Joey Lalor was there passing out red ribbons for people to wear. The ribbons promote AIDSAwareness. "It's an honor to help out watching over the Quilt. AIDS is not just a gay disease and it is important for us to inform the student body of that," said Lalor. The Quilt was at Parkside for only one day before being packed up Thursday morning and shipped off to its next destination, where it will continue to spread the message of AIDS awareness. AIDS mnrr FACTS , Casey Johnson A symbol of hope and remembrance, the quilt was started in San Francisco in 1987, as a tribute to people whom died from Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. The quilt was crafted piece-by-piece by family members, friends, and lovers who have lost a part of themselves to the disease. Not only is it a memorial for AIDS victims, the quilt is also a tool to help the public understand the tragic devastation of this as-yet incurable disease. UW-Parkside had only a small portion of the quilt on display. In actuality, the quilt in its entirety would cover 17 football fields and has nearly 43,000 panels with over 83,000 names. Each panel measures three by six feet, the size of a human grave. Laid end-to-end, the quilt would stretch for 49 miles, roughly the distance from Kenosha to northern Milwaukee. More than 13 million people have viewed different portion of the quilt on its worldwide journey to build awareness of this devastating disease. Also, more than $2.6 million has been raised to fund direct services for people with AIDS. -- D' 10 ranger I fealures Making UWParkside's future diverse It's literally the million-dollar question: How can UW-Parkside better serve current and future students of color? All campuses in the University of Wisconsin System are being asked that question, and the UW System's current budget contains $1 million to find a satisfactory answer within the decade, The UW System calls this program to increase minority enrollment Plan 2008. The UW-Parkside organization that will turn this concept into a working reality, the Plan 2008 Diversity Monitoring and Assessment Committee, met for the first time on Dec, 2. During that meeting, UW-Parkside Jack Keating said Plan 2008 will be a major factor in the Board of Regents' evaluation of his job performance. That makes the committee's success a high priority for Keating, "I consider this one of the most-if not the most-important current committees we have on campus," Keating stated. "I don't want a committee that's going to be a rubber stamp [for campus policies]. I want a committee that asks tough questions. I want a committee that will instill a pro- active atmosphere on campus. We want to be a truly caring campus that is inclusive and respectful of the various cultures we have on the campus and in the community." The committee, which includes faculty, staff, community reps, and students Azeza Hammad, Courtney Pace, and Luis Benevoglienti, already has a good blue-print with which to work. A task force led by Secretary of the Faculty Larry Duetsch, studied UW-Parkside's diversity needs over the past year and produced a plan for Plan 2008. The study contained specific ideas for reaching the UW System's goals. These goals include increasing the number of Wisconsin high school graduates of color who enter the UW System; building an educational pipeline by reaching children and parents at an earlier age; increasing retention and graduation rates for students of color; and increasing financial help offered to them. The Board of Regent called UWParkside's plan to attain these goals the "most visionary and most practical" one put forth by any of the UW schools. Of course, having a plan and making it work can be two very different things. However, Keating said the System will be monitoring UW-Parkside's diversity progress and reviewing his leadership accordingly. With that kind of encouragement from Madison, the Diversity Monitoring and Assessment Committee has a strong impetus to make sure Plan 2008 succeed at UW-Parkside.

At the same time presentation of these ideas is important to allow the student body to make their own decisions in separating truth and rhetoric. The piece that fOllOWS should be treated as a "Letter to the Editor" or an editorial and does not represent the views of The Ranger Staff In fact, it directly contradicts our findings as reported in the Sept. 30 issue on page 8 in the article "Holstered" written by Chris Elst. Elst interviewed several African American students in both the multi-cultural office and at BSU. None of the minority students questioned had anything negative to say about Parkside police, although some had stories about other police departments. In addition, Parkside Police Chief Robert Deane, an African American, has stated several times publicly that he will not tolerate the suggestion of impropriety by his officers and that they all attend diversity training yearly. Any problems should be brought to his attention immediately to continue Deane's policy of "honesty,fairness and openness" and the lack of tolerance for the harassment of students. Race and the police Courtney Pace The division between African Americans andCaucasians has been apparent for many years. Perceptions of these two groups vary and one area of variance is that of the campuspolice and the policy of them caring guns 24hours a day. Is it a race issue? You bet it is! A small random pole of the Parkside student population of both Black and White, malesand females, revealed that the opinions between African Americans and Caucasiansvaried constantly. When asked abouttheir perceptions of police officer's in general, the Caucasian students generally spokein a positive manner about the police, feltthat the officers were here to protect the students, and felt that the police should be respected.Paul Nault, a Caucasian resident advisor stated, "As a child 1 was always instilledwith the belief that the police were there to help you and keep you safe." Andrea Higgins, a Caucasian female student, echoed Paul's opinion by stating, "I have always believed the police were here to help you and that you had nothing to fearif you weren't doing anything wrong." When the African American students were asked the same question, the majority of the answers were the exact opposite. Thurman Dantzler, a junior who is an AfricanAmerican, stated, "I do not trust the police at all! Most of them are dirty anyway."Martha King, an African American female, whose older brother was shot to deathby five officers in his home, expressed total distrust, "I don't like the police. Most copsare on a power trip trying to persecute innocentpeople." When the students were asked if they ever had an encounter with the police, all the Caucasian students said, "No." Robert Mallwitz, who's father is the captain of Sturtevant Wisconsin police department, stated, "I have never been harassed or felt intimidated by the police." Unlike the Caucasian student, all the African Americans surveys except one gave numerousstories of harassment and intimidation. Tyrone Moore, an African American student, gave his account of how he was harassed by an officer. "I was stopped by thepoliceand was approached by an officer with a pulled gun because he mistakenly thought that 1 had stolen my own car." Corey Nicks also detailed having been harassedby the police over a case of mistaken identity. "The police officers verbally assaultedme and even after they found that IWasnot the person they were looking for they still gave me a hard time." Marcia Fossie, an African American female, stated being abrasively spoken to by our own Parkside police, "I was just asking the officer why and where he was towing my friends car and he said, 'it is none of your business,' rolled up the window and ignored me." The accounts from African American students appears to be never ending, yet the Caucasian students polled could not come up with one account of intimidation or harassment. The opinions were also split for the groups when asked if they would call our Parkside police. The Caucasian students all claimed to have faith in the Parkside police and felt comfortable calling them. The African American students, with exception of one, would not call the Parkside police if they needed assistance. Although questions were few and the poll small, it also revealed varying opinions about the gun carry issue. Danielle Paul, a Caucasian student, said, "It's a good idea for the police to have guns. They need them for their protection and ours." Misty Issacson, another Caucasian, stated, "In some way, it is good for the police to have guns, but 1 don't think it is necessary on campus." Thomas Harris, an African American male, stated, "I do not care if they have guns or not." Chastity Duff, an African American Criminal Justice Major, said "Ithink the student body needs to understand that these men and women are here for our protection and they can't perform their job effectively if we do not allow them to use the tools that are necessary." Over the years, African Americans have been victims at the hands of the law. We are constantly being reminded of these injustices on a daily bases. Civil rights marches where African Americans were victimized by the police plague our minds. Bull Connor releasing viscous dogs and water hoses on African American children, and Rodney King being beaten have colored our judgments throughout history. Dorcas Agoro, an African American Parkside student, stated, "All tluoughout history, it has been proven the police have not been our friend and 1 sometimes feel apprehensive and fearful when they are present." Since law enforcement officers have been sworn to protect both races on campus, it is apparent they need to work on their relationships with African Americans students, so each group will learn to respect and value each other. ranger I fealureS 11 ATTENTION STUDENTS Stop by the Ranger office and find out how you can placefree classified ads!

Felicia Ganther, Rec Center manager, says that they want the RecCenter to be "a reason to corne back to the university". And with that goal the Rec Center has made many changes in its offerings with other changes planned for the future. Activities such as many billiard tables, the latest video garnes, table tennis, a bowling alley, and a snack bar have been staples in the Rec Center, but more activities have been added to the mix. One big addition introduced this year is a big screen television that is available for all special television occasions. Also new this year is a psychedelic bowling experience called Cyber Bowling. On Friday nights, students can sing along with their favorite tunes to karaoke. Students can also take advantage of the many new board games available while enjoying the new snacks at the snack bar, which now offers nachos and a variety of micro-brews. Wine coolers are also available. I, Some unique ideas for the future are a Cyber Cafe, a cafe-like atmos- , phere with computers readily available to suit a students academic needs at alternative hours other than ordinary lab hours available in the school. Other ideas in the workings are the possibility of a massage table and masseuse on the premises, live music, and the repair and remodeling of the already popular bowling alley. Felicia Ganther maintains that her primary goal for the Rec Center is to provide students with an alter- I native place that caters to students needs. "We want to offer what the students want. We want to make the Rec Center user friendly and as cost effective as possible," said Ganther. Students should stop by, kick back, relax, and check out the new activities that the Rec Center has to offer. f Lamb of God Lutheran Church Divine Service every Sunday at 9:00 a.m. Stocker Elementary School 6315 67th Street, Kenosha LC.M.S.

Thomas Harris and Marnele Billups each scored 24 points while the team's sharpshooter Calvin Lucas was held to 11. The score at the half was 48-41, Team Nike in the lead. The second half was a different story as Tory Smith put on a shooting clinic for everyone. His six three-pointers in the last half proved too much for the joint Forces to handle, while Lewis and Stan Morris complimented him well with good ball handling and rebounding. Midway through the second half, Smith scored on a gorgeous pass and dunk that capped off an impressive performance and a wonderful season as Team Nike went undefeated (14-0) and won their first ever intramural title. joint Forces finished the season 11-3. Thurman Dantzler There's a new sheriff in town. Two of the best intramural teams did not disappoint the fans as Team Nike battled to a 96-88 victory over two-time champion joint Forces. Led by Tory Smith's 30 points and Al Lewis' 23, Team Nike used their up-tempo, fast break offense to with stand a gutty, physical effort by the Joint Forces squad, who lost their first championship game in three years. The first half was tightly contested as the lead changed hands numerous times. With the small but cheerful crowd getting into the game, the joint Forces began to fend off the crowd's energy to show why they are the best defensive team in the league.

There are basically two mutually antagonistic forces working in the universe, and my ex wife and I must go at it until the end because this is what we meant when we said "till death do us part." As far as acts of evil go, what you said is not entirely true. Men have always had good reasons for doing evil things, women. If we do evil things, we do them to impress women. • This is because, as • Descartes pointed out long , ago, men's brains are connected to ~ the penile glands. That's why we , never stop to ask for direction when ~ we're lost. When men get lost, their brains activate neurons that are not found in women. These neurons spring into action the moment we hear "Why don't you stop at a gas station and ask for directions?" They then activate the male organ, which we men use as a path indicator. Some men, however, never get lost. This is because they're endowed with huge path indicators and small brains. My urologist says I have a normal brain, but I'm not going there.

Entertainment Editor Chris Summy Arnold Schwarzeneggar is back! But is he past his prime? To answer that questions, I went to see "End of Days" during the Thanksgiving weekend, instead of enduring the delighted, yet annoying screams from the crowd that went to "Toy Story 2"and "Pokemon." Ah-nold plays Jericho Kane, an alcoholic New York cop who lost his wife and daughter in a break-in. He has a typical wisecracking partner, this time named Chicago (Kevin Pollak). The two partners are sent to stop an old man who took a shot at a prominent businessman (Gabriel Byrne).They find their charge but he warns that danger is imminent, pending the arrival of Satan. The Father of Lies is in New York and will stop at nothing to accomplish his mission before the arrival of the millennium. Naturally, they think he's nuts. It seems that the devil took a body and is looking for a young woman to be his bride, signaling the apocalypse. The poor woman is Christine York (Robin Tunney), a 20-yearold with a prophetic birthmark, raised by some of Old Scratch's followers since she was born. It indicates that she will bear Satan's child unless he can be stopped. Somehow Kane stumbles onto this and tries to protect her. But Satan is wily, of course, and stops at nothing to accomplish his task, including bribing Kane. And it doesn't help that Kane lost his spirituality when he lost his family. Plus, he also has to deal with a renegade religious group that wants to kill Christine because they shouldn't take chances with Satan. But with the help of Father Kovak (Rod Steiger), Kane will not be defeated. Does this sound easy? That's because it's an easy movie to figure out. This is an entertaining movie like "Eraser" was but it isn't among Arnold's best movies ("Terminator;' "Total Recall;' "T2:Judgement Day;' "True Lies"). Arnold baby, get back with James Cameron!
