The Ranger reserves the right to edit all letters. The In Box Editor Kregg Jacoby I have a little good news and a little bad. The plans for color have been pushed back one issue because funding has come up short. It's very dis­couraging that a newspaper that is trying so hard to be a true student forum is constantly assaulted with lack of f unds, lack of interest and a real lack of a ny genuine sense of community. The community I refer to is that of the student organizations here at Parkside. More than anything else, they should represent the backbone of a strong Parkside community. Classes may come and go, but it is the groups that keep students motivat­ed to work towards a common goal and to stick around the campus to part of something bigger than themselves. And these groups need to work together. Being unified would give each group a bigger base of people to count on and help cut costs. To all the students who are not a member of a group, don't think this doesn't effect you. Take a look at the PSGA story on page 5. All student fees are being increased by $58 per year to pay for some huge increase in a few groups budgets. How are these groups help­ing you? If y ou're not a member are you just throwing your money away? I'm not claiming the increases were not warranted, but the student body needs to police these groups to make sure the money is not being wasted. On the lighter side, I'm pleased to announce the very first Stranger of the semester. It's gleefully juvenile, wondrously witty and an all-around strange experience. If you like what you see or have any other ideas, drop us a message at the office in Wyllie D-139C, call 595-2287 or email jacob020@uwp.edu. Any groups or departments that have info they want covered drop us a story or story idea. Talk with the Ranger and we'll make sure it gets out to the student body.

Need help filing Nobody likes to think about filing income tax forms. Well, if you have a gross adjusted income of $20k a year or less, or you plan to file a federal "EZ" form, help is availabie-and it's free. Intuit, the folks who struck it rich with "Quicken" and "TurboTax," is offering income tax filing services free to low-income taxpayers that file electronically. The company's Quicken Tax Freedom Project is donating web-based income tax prepara­tion and electronic tax filing services. Here's how it works. Using a simple interview method, the Web TurboTax program asks for relevant information and auto­matically calculates and files the tax return. The service covers preparation and filing for both federal and state returns. All major forms and schedules - 1040EZ, 1040A, even the love­ly and talented form 1040 - will be supported. Eligibility is deter­mined by your actual tax information when entered into the Web TurboTax program. The services will be available from Jan. 14 to Oct. 16,2000. Access the Tax Freedom Project at www.quicken.com/free­dom or www.dor.state.wi.us, the state Revenue Department web site. Follow the on-screen interview to enter your tax data and complete your return. You can do this over one or several ses­sions. Then e-file or print your return. If you're filing electronically, you must print the e-file signa­ture form and keep it until you receive your IRS or state acknowledgement/Check the status of your return, 24 to 48 hours after e-filing, by calling (520) 901-3271 or by entering your social security number into a status page on Quicken's Web site. Once accepted, you must enter information onto the paper signa­ture form and follow the program instructions for mailing the form to the revenue agency. If rejected, follow the on-screen instructions to correct and re-file. Intuit uses Secure Socket Layer encryption technology to ensure privacy during preparation and transmission. News Briefs Point... Click... Scholarship With a growing number of Internet companies that give away cash and prizes to consumers just for browsing their Web sites a new site launched this month promises to award $10,000 a day in college scholarship money. Marketers and advertisers fund the scholarships m exchange for rece.vmg valuable consumer information on the lucrative crop of students m their teens addition to the daily prize, Free Scholarships.com plans to award $25,000 each month and $50,000 each quarter. The site will send the check directly to a school college, bank, or educational lending program to help pay for private school, college, or graduate school. College graduates may use the money to pay off th eir student loans, and parents may apply their winnings toward future col­lege bills. Winners must be U.S. citizens over age 13. Some education officials are warning Internet consumers of possible scams. Others are concerned about the implications of using sweepstakes to award scholarships. "You don't need to be a sweepstakes winner to afford college," Mark Cannon, deputy executive director of t he National Association for College Admission Counseling, told the Associated Press. Arts: Alive! series presents Peking Acrobats I UW-Parkside presents The Peking Acrobats on Tuesday, March 7, at 7:30 p.m. in the Comm. Arts Theatre. Part of the University's Arts: ALIVE! series, Joanne Yantis calls The Acrobats the series' family performance. "A number of people I've talked to said they plan to bring their children or grand children to this program," Yantis said. "This is the sort of performance families-and students-can share and then talk about for a long time." The Peking Acrobats is a 26-member troupe of gymnasts, jugglers, contortion­ists, and tumblers that has left audiences worldwide spellbound with their grace and athletic ability. From high wire walkers, to balancing acts performed on a precarious stack of chairs, to a contortionist holding dozens of glasses while perched on the fingertips of one hand, to precision tumbling, The Peking Acrobats is a non-stop, thrill-packed experience. The LA Times said "The Peking Acrobats regularly passed from the seemingly impossible to the virtually unbelievable." Come and be amazed when Arts: ALIVE! present The Peking Acrobats. Tickets are $12.50 for this one-night only performance. For more information, call ext. 2345. Aid t o Study Aboard In the recently passed 1999/2000 State budget, the Wisconsin legislature has appropriated funds to support study aboard opportunities for students who are eligible for financial aid. The University of Wisconsin-Parkside has been allocated several $2,000 grants to assist students wishing to study abroad. Students planning to apply for one of the grants must have their financial aid eligibility certified by the Financial Aid Office (WYLL D191; ext. 2577) and must apply to participate in a study abroad program. Applications for financial aid are due to the Center for International Studies Office by March 20, 2000. Applications should include certification of financial air eligibility and confirmation of participation in, or application to a study abroad program. Applications will be reviewed by the Center for International Studies, and awards will be announced by March 27,2000. This is an exceptional opportunity to take part in a unique learning experi­ence, particularly since academic credit earned through study abroad can be transferred to UW-Parkside. For further information about study abroad pro­grams and financial aid for study abroad, students are encouraged to contact the Center for International Studies (MOLN 367, ext. 2701) as soon as possible.
