According to the PSGA's constitution the president and vice-president only have.voting rights and the power to appointsenators. The senate runs the student government. No rules are passed without senate approval. ~ators are el~cted for a full year, so if the senator IS elected in the fall he or she is not up for reelection until the following fall. To be reelected, a senator needs to get 50 signatures and be voted for by the student body. The top 15 vote-getters earn the seats because of a majority rule. There are 15 senators for fall and 15 for spring and some for specialized clubs, such as the Gay ana Lesbian Organization. There is a total of 38 senators.

Cleo Ensterling, Adam DeFord, and Rebecca WilliamsBrawner are the new fall senators, and Chelsea Crane is the new spring senator. . As a senator, each has to serve on both a PSGA committee and a university committee. They get to choose the comnuttees they wish to serve on a firstcome, first-served basis. According to PSGA President JDe Rucker, the main campus issues discussed at the meeting and that need to be resolved are the price and quality of food, the price of making copies, and problems WIth parking. The senate is considering discounted rates to be given to those students who park at the Tallent Hall lot. The other problems have yet to be resolved. Many students and faculty are upset WIth the closmg of the cafeteria at 5 p.m. everyday. Under this proposal, no one can sit in the cafeteria to visit' with friends, study, or enjoy a quick snack. It 15 now strictly used as a dining room for those students who have a RangerCard on hand.

Bridge" set --.---.---.--~ 3.Harris'·magic creates " The first stage. of building a set st~rts ':'lith an artists concept, Keith crew then beg onto shape the set, onthis case a house in New York. Anyone who has attended a play at UW-Parkside in the last 16 years has witnessed some of the uruque and complex set designs Keith Harris has created. Harris is currently working on the Drama Department's fall production of Arthur Miller's" A View From the Bridge." Keith attended the University of Kansas, where he earned an M.F.A. in Scenic Design. He intended to go into acting, but changed his major to design scenery several years into college. He has worked here at UW-Parkside for the past 16 years, usually designing two to three; sets of scenery a school year for each Drama Department show. Harris and his Drawing up the plans for a set is not something that Can be done m a few days. Depending on the project, it takes from four to five months to draw up plans. After reading over the script numerous times, researching the play, and talking with the directors and his staff, Harris goes to the drawing board. For this current play, "A View From the Bridge," he started talking about ideas with the directors at the end of last semester. He designed it around early July, and started building it about two weeks before this semester began. The set should be completed by midOctober. The play will run the last two weekends of October. Many of the materials used in building a set are not used as the manufacturer intended. For instance, Keith has used basics like plywood and paneling materials, along with Styrofoam insulation and bug sprayers for painting. When working on a set, he finds good uses for things people normally wouldn't think of as materials used on stage. Keith receives help from some of the cast members, stage crew, and from people who have nothing to do with the Dramatic Arts Department. So students taking classes for college credit, are eligible to work on productions. Between his duties here and his family, Harris doesn't have a lot of time to work on scenery outside of the University. Although he has done repertory work and set painting in the past for The Fireside Dinner Theater in Ft.Atkinson, he hasn't done any movies or Broadway shows. However, some of his former students have. It is his hope that more of his students succeed to that level. "Keith has been our rock, He's creative, timely, a fine designer and an indispensable member of our team," said Dramatic Arts Professor Skelly Warren. "He's the link which holds our department together. He's been a colleague and friend for 18 years, and I couldn't picture this department without him and his dedication. 'A ViewFrom the Bridge' is just another outstanding design from a person who puts only his best forward. He and his work are irreplaceable. His work always pulls out the best in others as well."

For incoming freshman, and even for those who are returning to UWParkside, it is always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations on campus to optimize your personal safety. Freshman entering the university straight out of high school should especially take notice of the university's policies on drinking and drug use. No drinking under the age of 21 is tolerated anywhere on campus, and anyone serving, or buying alcohol for minors is legally liable as well. All women on campus should be aware that date rape drugs are known to be circulating around southeastern Wisconsin and may already be on this campus. Always keep a close -eye on anything you are consuming, and don't accept anything that you are not sure of. Schlecht strongly reiterates, "Students have to partake in the responsibility of their own safety." The Parkside police are more than happy to assist students with any questions or concerns they may have at any time. If you are in need of immediate assistance on campus call 2911.Even if you are unable to speak, the officerscan tell where the call is coming from. Additionally, call boxes are located in parking lots. Otherwise, all non-emergencies situation can referred to 595- 2455. Officers are available to the students and staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A great way to learn more about the Chapter 18 policies on campus, fines, and other services offered by the police is to go to their web site at www.uwp.edu/admin/university.poli ceo It's very informative and well worth the look. Students can also drop in anytime at Tallent hall to pick up helpful brochures about social issues such as domestic violence, drinking, etc. Officer Schlecht wants students with questions to call" even when they don't think that we'll have the answers. If we can't answer something then we will do our best to find someone who will." SAC Effects on Community By Zach Robertson As many UW-Parkside students know the new Sports & Activity Center (SAc) ?ffers many experiences not available in the past. What many do not know is w~~ UW-Parkside will use the new facilityto open Its doors to the community UW-Parkslde plans to make the facility .available to the public by selling facility use memberships and by makmg the facility available for rentals. Rentals at the SAC include the fieldhouse, meeting rooms, and the pool. According to Athletic Director Dr. Lenny Klaver the community has already shown quite a bit of interest. Rentals have already been put into place for bridal shows, volleyball tournaments, use of the pool, and preliminary possibilities for the Kenosha Expo. The number of facility use memberships has also increased because of the new Wellness Center and weight room. W,th all of the activity in the SAC some students wonder if this will interfere with their use of the facility. "The new facility was designed and will be operated for students first," said Dr. Klaver. Much has been said about the increase in membership fees. "The reason we need to charge for memberships is that we have an obligation to support 20% of the operating costs of the buildin~", said Klaver, By making the facility available through rentals and memberships the University will be able to support the increased operating costs of the new $12.3 million building. Dr. Klaver said a committee worked on pricing for the rental and membership prices by doing research with other Universities to come up with the fee structure. UW-Parkside also plans on advertising the new facility to prospective renters and members through the use of newspaper ads and articles, as well as mailers. By advertising the SAC more people will be exposed to the universities programs and its students. "The oniy drawback I can possibly see is that demand might be so heavy that we are going to have to limit the number of people who can join the facility. But again with the facility being primarily for student use that's were the emphasis should be," Klaver said.

Health care meeting at uw-, As part of its Engaged University effort, UW-Parkside was the site of a Community Health Care Initiatives meeting Sept. 20. The program, jointly sponsored by the United Auto Workers (UAW) and DaimlerChrysler, took placein the Com Arts Theatre. Both the UAW and DaimlerChrysler haveexpressedconcern about the qualit,Y and cost effectiveness of the region s healthcare delivery system. To address theseconcerns, the union and company invitedcommunity members and businesses,health care professionals, hospitals to attend. They are asking these groups to work with them to assure high quality health care services and improve the quality of life throughout southeastern Wisconsin. To gauge the region's health care environment and delivery system, the Lewin Group, a company specializing in health care consultation, will survey the local health care market and compare it to other cities. From the resultmg data, problems will be identified, action groups will be formed, and their suggestions will then be rolled out to the community. DaimlerChrysler's Gerry Wade said this is the seventh initiative his company and the UAW have made since 1994. Survey result are expected to be available in six months. GerryWade, DiamlerChrysler, announces a survey of 10c~1health care delivery s.ystemsduring a program held at UW Parkside.

Jamie Freeman President Protem pore Shana Hopkins Public Relations Director Kara Norton Diversity Director A Commitment to Diversit, by Gino Ciardo The University of Wisconsin-Parkside beat out 27 state agencies and UW campuses to earn the first Annual Diversity Award. The Department of Employment Relations and the Council on Affirmative Action cited UWParkside for achievement in "recruitment, planning and diversity hiring." Herbert Pitts, assistant to the chancellor of Equity and Diversity asserts, "None of this would have been done without the cooperation of the provost, the chancellor, the deans, the chairs of the departments, the directors and the managers here. Achieving diversity goals IS a delicate ballet, and if you do not conduct the dance properly with the other individuals who are your dance partners, you will achieve nothing. All the things we accomplish, we accomplish as a UW-Parkside team." According to UW-Parkside's letter of application, 12.9% of the university's work force (full- and part-time) were minorities as of October 1999. Between June 1999 and May 2000, 40 minority employees were hired constituting 21.97% of all hires in that time frame. At the same time, UW-Parkside reported 17% of the student body were minorities as of August 2000. "It was a situation where we were increasing our enrollment of minority students, but our work force was not reflecting that increase or the demographics that are taking place in the surrounding area," Pitts comments. In order to increase the number of minorities employed at UW-Parkside, several steps were taken to make the university available to more applicants. UW-Parkside placed ads in ethnic and minority publications, s.ent out bulk mailing shells introducing the school and announcing job opportunities,' advertised vacancies on national career websites and collected business cards at career expos. Pitts explains, "In a tight employment market you have to become more creative. Our big push this year is going to be campus climate. Wecannot continue recruiting people if we cannot keep people. We have to retain people'Iromote people, tenure people, an in order to do that we have to make sure that the atmosphere here is conducive to people of diverse backgrounds." He added, "If we are educated to think that the world consists only of people who look like us, then we are being educated to fail. It is impossible to get a good education without beinl7 exposed to the diversity of the world. Diversity hiring is also Goal 5 of the UW-Parkside Plan 2008, which concentrates on combining diversity and the curriculum in order to improve the learning environment. The award will be presented on October 12 at the Pyle Center in Madison. r Police Beat 09/15/00 Incident #00-687: Fire Alarm, Greenquist Hall, 12:59 a.m., officers responding to an alarm found no smoke or fire, Alarm was reset and officers cleared.

America's place in it. Axtell, a Kenosha native, has been on ABC's "Good Morning America", NBC's "Today Show," and several CNN news programs. New Yorker described him as "an international Emily Post." At the luncheon, he humorously covered some of the highlights from his latest book in The Do's and Taboos series, which outline proper behavior, gestures and body language rrotocol for business people who trave abroad. Axtell points out that people traveling to foreign countries need to become aware of others' cultural customs. This is in-order to prevent unintentionally insulting those that they wish to do serious business with. "It's a big world out there. We as Americans have two problems that lead to miscommunication. The first is that our culture is deal focused 'time is money' ... much of the rest of the world is relationship focused. They want to get to know you, trust you. The second problem is that we are ethnocentric. We think that the world goes right down through the United States, and the world revolves around us.We do things without realizing it, and. our awareness needs to be sha;'per." Things like firm handshakes, looking someone in the eyes, or using a first name are construed as rude and disturbing behavior in other countries. One comedic example of how cultures are different that Axtell likes to tell is the story about hygiene, which he points out, is perceived differently all of over the world. He tells us, "As Americans we like to think that we rank very high when it comes to hygiene ... but I was in a country one time where they spit a lot. Very common, spit in the streets, spit in their offices, even blew their noses out that way [with no tissue]. "We say, 'That's repulsive, that's terrible, spreading all those germs around'. But,not to them, [they see this as1 very hygtemc because they are nddin!? the body of a bodily waste. Th7 said to me, 'Well what do you do? I said, 'Well for goodness sake, I carry a hanker-chief .. , I blow my nose carefully like this.' They asked, 'Then what?' I said 'Well, then I put it back in my pocket.' They said 'You mean you carry it around with you all day long!?'" Many students from Parkside will one day travel abroad for work, or will have to work with foreign business people on American soil. Either way, students should begin to prepare them- . selves for the challenges of communicating successfully in the new global village of tomorrow. "Wehave to get to know and appreciate other people," says Axtell. The best way to do this is to t~ke advantage of the rambow of activities that Parkside is always offering for free or a minimal fee. Not all learning takes place in a lecture hall, and luncheons like this one are a fine example of a fun way for students to enhance their global communication skills.

Many people have discovered that public dialo/?Ue about race is an important step in combating problems of prejudice associated with race. Study Circles call for a dialogue about race that help everyday people examine racism and race relations and work together to make progress on these issues. Thegroup provides an opportunity for people to get to know one another, listen to different experiences and points of view, delve into disagreements, and discover common ground. The group looks at social issues and discusses ways to take action to chan~e these issues. Roseann Mason, who introduced this nationwide program to Parkside stated, "It's important for people to know that we're not just discussing problems. We actually move from diafogue, to action, to change." With thousands of pearle working together devising practical actions and strategies to promote change, a positive world may be in our future. Mason also pointed out that students get a chance to connect with people they don't normally connect with through study circles. Last year, a !\"oup worked with homeless people inRacine, breaking through the lines of classism and working together to solve an on-going problem. Mason likes t? describe study circles as the oppostte of hate groups, "We are peace groups promoting peace." Study Circles are not limited to only student participation, all faculty and staff-are encouraged to be involved in the dialogues. Study Circles consist of small groups of only 8 to 12 participants. At tile last meeting there were four professors among those in the dialogue. Community members are also involved as the study circles prepare for their Community Kickoffs. StUdy Circle kick· off Sunday Oct. 1, 4 to 6 p.m., Union Dining Room. All students are urged to attend. Last February, over 100 community members drove in blizzard-like weather conditions to join the Kickoff. This year, the group invites students and area residents to their kick-off program this Sunday, Oct. 1. The prgram will be held in the Union Dining Room from 4 to 6 p.m. They leave on the weekend of October 20-22 for their retreat in Madison.

Foreign Film Review The Parkside Foreign Film Series started on September 14. The series, which will last till April 29, will show 14 of the best international movies around. For people-who missed the first and get to the Union Cinema for this one: PHRPA (THE CUP) (Oct. 5-8) The Cup, the first feature length film ever to be made in Bhutan, is delightfully innocent. Inspired by true events, The Cup is the story of an Indian monastery housing children with assorted international roots. Awaiting the two new arrivals to the monastery is Orygen, a self-confident and adventurous 14- year-old monk. Orygen has his own little near-religious cuIt that is celebrating its holiest of events which onIy occurs once every four years: The World Cup of soccer. Soon the children find themselves in a bind when they are caught sneaking out to watch part of the tournament one night and are threatened with expulsion should they ever do so again. But the crafty Orygen wouldn't let the approaching final match pass by without his audience, and soon a surprisingly innocent plot is hatched. (Bhutan 2(00) Director: Corrante. 93 min. ' Here are some excerpts from a review of "The Cup" written by James Berardinelli: "In addition to being charming and uplifting, 'The Cup' possesses an undeniable sense of verisimilitude, and many of the j'erformances are so unaffected tha tit s difficult to believe the men giving them aren't professional actors. 'The Cup' is sure to be a crowd-pleaser," If Iwere you, Iwould buy a season ticket right now, because the films are a very ruce getaway from Hollywood and the like.
