Muchof the thanks wen t to Governor TommyThompson and the area's state legislators for their support of the projeclln tum, Thompson, who also was on hand to break ground for the facility two years ago, thanked donors and students for: "This wonderful addition to this beautifulcampus." "It will be a key to attracting more students to the University of WisconsinParkside.It also will attract more diversity from student athletes in our urban 1l!lIlers," Thompson said. Thompsonalso praised UW-Parkside stu~~ts for voluntarily raising their IlCliVity fees to help with the funding of theexpansionproject. About a hundred students were on-hand for the Friday afternoon ceremony. . The fieldhouse portion of the expanSIon will bear the name of Kenosha builder Prank Petrelli.

"Our students will make great use of this facility, but it's also open to you:' Keating said. .. Elsewhere in the building. the arena used for basketball and volleyball will now be called the Alfred and Bernice De Simone Gymnasium in honor of long-time UW-Parkside benefactor Al De Simone and his wife. The second floor has been named the Carmelo D. Tenuta Hall for Sports Sciences and Athletic Busine~s. A UW-Parkside graduate, Tenuta said after spending his college years in Molinaro and Greenquist Halls, it was "An unbelievable feeling to have a 'Tenuta Hall.:" He added, "This dedication validates one of the things that I truly believe: Do things that make a positive difference. People will remember you and the rest will follow." Parkside Student Government Association President Joe Rucker also spoke during the ceremony. He thanked Chancellor Keating and Governor Thompson for having the vision to construct this much needed facility. "We are so thankful," said Linda Draft the University's associate athletic director. "Let the games begin!" Information Technology Practice Center open for business By Sarah Olsen UW-Parkside opened a new laboratory on Thursday, Sept. 28, that will give students an advantage over undergraduates from many other universities. The Information Technology Practice Center (ITPC) gives students hands-on experience with current technology and employment possibilities with some of the nation's top Fortune 500 companies. The ITPC began with the vision of a former UW-Parkside student, Cory Mason, who is now the ClO (the highest position in MIS) for Harley Davidson. Mason teamed up with Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Professional (a division of Johnson Wax), the former dean, and faculty members within the Business programs to turn his vision into a reality. Information technology is a profession that is less than 20 years old and has an unusually high demand for skilled, qualified graduates in Management Information Systems (MIS) and computer science. "Information technology involves the computers, the hardware, the software, and the telecommunication networking infrastructure that supports a business. In its simplest form, information technology is built by computer science and MIS uses the technology to solve a business problem" said Dirk Baldwin, associate professor of MIS. The benefits of the ITPC are multifaceted: first, the students learn how to solve business problems through technology, the faculty keeps up-to-date See ITPC, Page 6 Ins ide 3 Welcome to Beijing Professors Wang and Olsen lead local teachers on a month-long exploration of China. 4 Take a walk in the PARC,find help Need help with a subject, any subject?

UW-Parkside librarv can be more than just books By Gina Ciardo The UW-Parkside library can be used for more than just research, quiet studying, and, as some students would prefer, napping. The Friends on the UWParkside Library offers students a variety of interesting activities this semester. Tonight, students can listen to a lecture given by Richard Thieme titled "Technology and justice." Thieme is the 35th recipient of the Gameliel Chair in Peace and justice from UWMilwaukee. In addition, he is a graduate of Northwestern University and the University of Chicago where he earned a degree in English Literature. On Thursday Oct. 12, the library will host the BadWater Book Invitational. Artists from all over the United States have submitted their works for this exhibition. Max Yela, the Special Collections Librarian at the UW-Milwaukee Golda Meir Library will be speaking. The artist's books are currently on display in glass cases just inside the entrance to the library. From Nov. 15 through 17, the Friends of the Library will hold its annual book sale (9-5 Wednesday and Thursday, 9-12 Friday). Books will range in price from $1 to $1.50. The money goes to the Friends of the UWP prols. lead China lour By julie Thompson While some of us were busy working or relaxing on the beach this past summer, UW-Parkside professors Dwayne Olsen and George (Xun) Wang, along with teachers from Kenosha, Racine and Burlington, four of whom are UWParkside alumni, went on a month-long study tour of China in july. When reflecting on the purpose of the trip, Professor Olsen said, "The purpose was to have them write curriculum dealing with China. Our idea was that as a result of this experience [teachers] would write a more accurate curriculum and they would interpret China more accurately to their students as opposed to presenting distortions or stereotypes." Although the trip mainly served area school districts, UW-Parkside students will benefit as well. "My students that I'm teaching to be teachers of social studies, benefit from my having had this experience, and being able to talk more authoritatively about another culture, and culture is a major concept in social studies. Hopefully, 1 will do a better job in preparing these people as social studies teachers, so they will go beyond themselves, so they will see the diversity that they have within their own classrooms." Besides benefiting UW-Parkside and other area students, the trip reflects nicely on the University. The group was featured in newspapers in Racine and Kenosha, and interviewed tluee times by WGTD. However, their presence didn't go unnoticed in China, as they had the honor of being featured in two newspaper articles and one television news report. Professor Wang stated, "We met UW-Parkside Professor George Wang, second from right, meets with Chinese education officials including Chief of the Education Department, Jiang Zhou, left, and Jiang Zhelin, sister of the Chinese President Jiang Zemln, second from left. Library. In past years, the organziation has purchased things like the book drop outside the library. This year, the board is funding the soon-to-be Friends Reading Room which for the moment is the sectioned area behind the atlases on the library's main floor. Comfortable sofas will be arriving at the end of Oct. and the room will be fully functional for the spring semester. Students will be invited to bring in snacks and relax. . Dina Kaye, an academic librarian and the library liaison to the Friends of the Library Board comments, "We get a lot of community people not only on the board, but also who come to these. [events]. It would be great to see a lot more students and campus people." Other activities include a lecture given by Professor Dan Taylor from Lawrence University titled "The Olympic Games, 776 BC to AD 2000," a debate about the presidential election on Nov. 2, and a lecture titled "Making of the Medieval Illuminated Manuscript" given by Professor Michael Orr, Ph.D. of Lawrence University, on Nov. 30. . Aside from the book sale, all activities will be held in the Overlook Lounge (Level 2 of the Library) at 7 p.m. Tour group in front of the Palace Museum: (bottom row from left to right) Steve Benkert, Wilma Dunn,Jennifer Gemignani, Sandra Barry; (top row) Tim DeGroot, Debbie Bornhuetter, Prof. George (Xun) Wang, Paul Prozanski, Ellen Hiatt, Paul Heynes, Sue Roth, Sharon Kelley, Prof. Dwayne Olsen, Mary aln (tour guide) many school teachers and university professors in China, and so it enhanced our public image internationally as well." A highlight of the trip was when the group was able to meet the sister of President jiang Zemin while visiting Shimin International School. Additionally, Professor Wang received e-mail from members 01 Parkside administration. "They all praised our work, our project, they thought it was a great project to enhance the image of UWParkside." The trip was made possible due to the joint effort of Professor Olsen and Professor Wang. Together they prepared the proposal for the Fulbright-Hughes grant, but securing the grant isn't as easy as one would imagine. "This is a national competition," Professor Wang said. "This is not just money you can grab without any effort; this is a collective effort by us. Every school has the opportunity, not only universities, but non-profit organizations, high schools and middle schools can also apply for the grant." Now Professors Wang and Olsen are looking for at least one or maybe more students who can teach conversational English. Professor Wang said, "It doesn't have to be an English major, just someone who is willing to teach English as a second language for five months in China." Those who are interested should contact Professor Wang in the Sociology Department at 595-2180, or Professor Dwayne Olsen in the Teacher Education Department at 595·2177. Student Voices . This week's question: Are you going to Kristin Ovef Yes. I think everyone should vote because not enough people do, and every opinion counts. A Walll·in the PARC By Sheree Homer Did you fail the last test in history and are now afraid of failing the course? There is no need to fear, as there is help. Tutoring is available free to all UWP students. According to the Parkside Academic Resource Center (PARC), tutoring is similar to supplemental instruction as it is used as a guide and aid to the classroom. Every year, alumni donate money to PARe. PARC is located in Wyllie Hall D180 near the bookstore. Students can receive help at any level with any academic problem that they might have. Last semester, Claudia Calel Easterling I have to vote because it's my opinion. As far as my choice is concerned, I have to. It's a must. Villalba received help in writing for English and received a better grade for it. She went from a B to an A. Another student, Karen Malonee has been to PARC on numerous occasions. She received help in both writing and theatre makeup. Writing help allowed her to organize her thoughts more clearly, while the help received in theatre makeup got her a better grade. She went from a C+ to a B+. Writing·and math help is provided on a walk-in basis. Specialized areas, such as biology or French are made by appointment. Students should come well prepared to PARC and ready to explain their problems. This way the tutors will know how best to help. The normal tutoring session is 50 to 60 minutes. vote? Rachael Carlson I'm not much into politics, but I probably will end up voting because it's important that you give your . opinion. If you don't vote, your opinion won't be heard. Each student is allowed a maximum of two hours per week, unless other arrangements have been made with the PARC coordinator, [aci HaleyRenaud. Tutors are used as a guide to help the students understand their problem, but they are not there to do the work for them. They also do not determine the grade the student receives. Students have the responsibility of attending classes, taking good notes, and attempting to do the homework as well as studying in order to do well on tests. Attendance is mandatory at the tutorials, unless there is an emergency. Ifthis occurs, students should then call 595-2044 a couple hours before their appointment so the tutor SAAC getting. involved with students, community By Zach Robertson Many of the students and faculty at UW-Parkside have no idea what the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)is or what the organization does. But this year the SAAC hoping to change all of that. SAAC is a group of student-athletes who have been selected by their coach and the Athletic Director Dr. Lenny Klaver to represent their teams at weekly meetings. SAAC has two main duties: one is to be a voice for the student-athletes and the other is to implement service projects that involve the community and students at UW-Parkside. Student-athletes can bring any problems they might be having with coaches or players. They can also express any opinions they have on facility operations or other matters. Some of the community projects the SAAC will take on this year include a Thanksgiving food drive, a inter-athlete carnival, and fund raising efforts for a UW-Parkside student-athlete awards banquet. "One of our service projects at this point is the can food drive," said SAAC President Brian Coffman. "What we are going to do is have people be able to use can foods as a way of admission into UWParkside athletic events. By combining the efforts of all the sports teams we will, hopefully, have a large amount of donations to give to the homeless shelter and hospice before Thanksgiving." Furthermore, the SAAC wants to increase student and community involvement at UW-Parkside athletic events. "One of our goals this year is to get more students who live on campus to attend athletic events, possibly by doing giveaways at some of the games. We also need to start branching out into the community, which is tough because we've never really had that before," said Coffman. One of the objectives of the SAAC this year is to make the organization more visible on campus. It would like the opportunity to work with other campus organizations. "By working with student government and other groups on campus we will, hopefully, get our name out and get some support from different organizations, as well as our organization supporting theirs," said Coffman. SAAC members ask any organization or anyone who would like to help SAAC in organizing service projects to e-mail SAAC President Brian Coffman at coffmOOO@Uwp.edu Ivan Socava Yes, I'm going to vote just because it's important to get your views across, even if [your candidate] doesn't win. Get your voice out. can be notified. If a student misses two scheduled appointments, they can no longer be tutored due to others on a waiting list. Haley-Renaud says that the writing and math help is used the most. Math help is requested the most often because it requires extra attention. As for writing, Haley-Renaud says "I am pleased to discover that students are using our writing area for papers that are assigned in aU academic areas whereas in the past, it was evident students only looked at writing as part of an English assignment." Anyone who needs help with- brainstorming, grammar, editing, developing a rough draft, or proofreading, feel free to stop by PARC and ask for help. i.UWP 10 hOSI Russ Johnson's The Olher Quanel OCI. 10 Called a jazz/improvisational group, The Other Quartet defies pigeonholing by mixing original compositions with interpretations of works by composers like Igor Stravinsky and Anton Bruckner. This unusual combination prompted Marke Andrews of the Vancouver Sun to say they "Have a fresh approach that makes you wonder why more jazz groups don't sound this good." Andrews said The Other Quartet brings structure and improvisation together "for a happy marriage." Along with Johnson, who is a Racine native, the other members of The Other Quartet are Ohad Talmor on saxophone, Jim Hershman on guitar, and Michael Sarin on drums. While reviewing the band's CD "13 Pieces," [azziz magazine called the composing and arranging by Johnson and Talmor "consistently fresh and skillful" adding "There's a good chance Johnson will be one of the next important cats on trumpet."

Students must enroll in a one credit course to be eligible for the trip. The class will meet Tuesdays, Feb. 13 through March 27 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Students do not have to be dramatic arts majors, therefore, anyone can attend. Once the class work is completed, the students are off to New York. This trip has been held for the past 19 years, and past participants say everyone who attends really seems to enjoy it. The group attends four theaterical productions ranging from comedies and dramas, to musicals, and off-Broadway shows. This is the only time the group is together as a whole. The rest of the time is generally spent sightseeing or experiencing the many things that New York has to offer. "This is an incredible trip," said Theatre Manager Keith Harris. "I've gone three times, and each time had its own distinctive flavor to it," Betsy Hurlbut, who won a scholarship that paid for her trip three years ago, echoes Harris' sentiments. "It really is a wonderful experience:' said Hurlbut. "It was well worth the time and money." "1 heard about this trip freshman year, and I've been looking forward to going," said this year's scholarship winner Steve Sorenson. "Everyone who has gone really loved the trip. They loved just being there and experiencing New York." Fees for the trip are $795 for quad rooms, $1,020 for triple rooms, $1,100 for twin/ double rooms, and $1,600 for single rooms. This includes round-trip airfare on Midwest Express, ground transportation to the Hotel Edison for seven nights, four theatre tickets, guest speakers, and a $25 tax deductible contribution to the Thomas Newman Memorial New York Scholarship fund. Space is limited, especially for quad rooms, so a non-refundable deposit of $150 is required as soon as possible to guarantee the airline seats. Students have until October 16 to sign up. Deposits, including address and phone number, can be dropped off at the Dramatic Arts Office between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or they can be mailed to: Louise Jones, UW-Parkside Dramatic Arts Office, CA 221, 900 Wood Rd.

The annual event focuses on recruiting an assortment of top students from schools across southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. These students, numbering roughly 125-150 youths, are all young females from primarily Racine, Kenosha, and Zion, Illinois. However, the program extends to all public, private, and rural schools. In the past, Parkside has accepted only eighth grade students. This year, a selection of seventh graders were invited to enjoy the guest speakers and hands-on career experience as well. Margaret M. Gename, head of Youth Programs at the Center for Community Partnerships, invited female Parkside students to the field day every year to raise the awareness in young females about math, science, and technology studies. "Studies show that by eighth grade females drop in math, science, and technology. Young females end up lacking math, science, and technology from a loss of interest, a fear of difficulty, or even intimidation from peers," states Gename. These guest speakers share their experience with the children to help the program grow and become more interactive, thus raising its influential possibilities. Also involved in the event are about twenty Parkside professors lending their skills and knowledge in experimental hands-on labs with the children. These labs include biology, engineering, health care, physics, nursing, teacher education, and others, which are all being taught by our certified faculty. People such as Frances Kavenik on women studies, Susan Haller and Timothy Fossum on computer science, Paul Boyer on science and technological education, Alma Renish on science, and Penny Lyter on health/weliness. Basic high school science studies are also focused upon by Ben Greenebaum on physics, Esther Wilson and Randy McKey on anatomy, Daphne Pham on molecular biology, and Gary Wood on chemistry. In August, for the effort Parkside put into this program, the 11th annual Women in Math, Science, and Technology Day received the 2000 Equity Initiative Award for motivating young females. It was awarded by the American Association of University WomenWisconsin for excellence in achievement by not only school staff, but especially young females. The program received financial help once again this year from Allegiance HeaIthcare and Dairyland Greyhound Park, respectively. If you have any questions or wish to make a donation to the Women in Math, Science, and Technology Day, contact Margaret M. Gename at (262) 595-2309 in the Talent Hall. To all that inquire or sponsor this program's purpose, the Office of Youth Programs appreciates your help for next year's Math, Science, and Technology Day set for April 6, 2001. -----------=~~. 09-24-00 Inc 00-705 Theft from Motor Vehicle, South SAC lot, 12:26 a.m.; three students reported their cars damaged and items stolen while parked in the lot.

Officer responding Yarbrough appointed police chief Police Beat By Lisa Whitcomb New UW-Parkside police chief Dexter Yarbrough arrived on campus Sept. 21, just in time for the autumnal equinox, and like the seasons, UWParkside's new police chief will soon be changing the ways of campus policing. Yarbrough comes to UW-Parkside from Chicago with an impressive background . in law enforcement, ranging from community policing liaison and tactical team member, to police recruit instructor. Yarbrough even spent five years as an Executive Protection Specialist at Harpo Studios. The new chief has received many awards throughout his career for his exceptional policing skills, and he continues to serve as a featured speaker at many community functions addressing the ideas of community policing. He was also recognized in Face Fonoard: Young AfricanAmerican Men in a Critical Age. Coming to UW-Parkside presents Yarbrough with new perspectives and professional challenges. He is looking forward to implementing a new community-policing program around campus. The campus police plan to become more "student oriented" by walking through University buildings and around the grounds, so that they are more accessible to students' needs. Yarbrough wants to focus less on street patrol, and more on programs that will benefit the safety of the students. Programs such as assault prevention and educating students on the pitfalls of driving while intoxicated. To ensure the success of these programs, Yarbrough wants more organizaNew UW-Parkside police chief Dexter Yarbrough, left, gets some advice from outgoing chief John Ernst. Yarbrough, a veteran at the Chicago Police Department, began his duties here Sept. 21 tions like the Parkside Student Government Association and the WOI)lyns' Center to sponsor and promote safety programs in conjunction with the police. "I want to ensure that the community understands that public safety is not just a concern of the police, but that it is a shared concern of all University community members," Yarbrough said. "Crime prevention, public safety, and problem resolution are essential goals that all of us must share in order to have a safe campus environment." If your club or organization is interested in sponsoring a safety program with the police, call Yarbrough at ext. 2455. Yarbrough says that his most important job will be to ensure the safety of the University community, and he will do this by setting the tone for his department, so that his department's goals fit in with the overall mission of the University. Yarbrough wants the student body and faculty to know that "I am a capable, high-energy administrator, and I will always expect that my officers will give the best service possible to the University community." to the location found a fire had been extinguished.

Students who are not majoring in MIS or computer science may also benefit from the ITPC. "Our vision is not totally computer science or MIS oriented. I think we would like to be broader than that" says Professor Baldwin. Baldwin would like to see students from the graphic arts program work with student teams on potential projects such as web design and for English students to perhaps produce a pamphlet using technical writing documentation. The ITPC is located on the second floor in Molinaro Hall, room 218. If you are interested in learning more about the center, contact Dirk Baldwin at 595-2449.

Afterward, they may have wished they had stayed on the road Coach Melissa Wolter's team earned a split of two matches played away from home Sept. 22 and Sept. 23. On Friday, the Rangers were swept, three games to none at Southern Indiana. They rebounded on Saturday, winning at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, three games to two. ., It seemed that everything from the , elements to the opponents were stacked ; against UW-Parkside's soccer teams on I Friday,Sept. 22 and Sunday, Sept. 24. But ; things were much brighter both in the · sky and on the scoreboard a week later. On Friday, Sept. 22, it took four hours to complete the men's game against Southern Indiana University. A 45- I minute lightning delay held up the start · of the game, followed by an additional I 1 hour and 25 minute delay in the second half. Shortly after the second delay, I Southern Indiana broke a scoreless 'I deadlock and eventually won 1-0. There · was barely enough daylight to complete I the contest. The women's game was postponed. I On Sunday, things got even worse. I True,the weather was better, but so was Southern Illinois UniversityEdwardsville. SIU-E's men's and I women's teams shut down the offenses of UW-Parkside's teams and left town with identical 2-0 wins. Both teams traveled to Missouri-St. I Louis on Friday, Sept. 29, and found the · Gateway.city to their liking. The men, led by the shutout goaltending of Thorn Peer and goals by St. Louis-area native I Raymond james, along with Dan de St. Aubin and Mike Samer, polished off UMSL3-0. In the women's game, Lorrie jones and Bryanna jurvis each scored twice to The Rangers were unable to repeat that success at home. On Friday, Sept. 29, Northern Kentucky, which advanced to the NCAA Division II Final Four last year, swept UWParkside 15-5, 15-6, and 15-10. NKU was 12 and 2 overall and is a perfect 6- o in the GLVC. On Saturday, Sept. 30, despite good play by Amy Reilly and Angela Zoiss, the University of Indianapolis beat UW-Parkside 15-9, 15-0, 5-15, and 15- 12. Reilly had d.Z kills and Zoiss contributed 18 digs in a losing cause. The loss dropped UW-Parkside to 4 and 13 overall and 2 and 4 in the conference. Bryanna Jurvis, above, and Lorrie Jones both scored twice against UMSL lead the Rangers to a 4-2 win. The teams were in Quincy, Ill. on Sunday, Oct. 1 and came away with mixed results.

The University of WisconsinParkside invites area art lovers, animal fanciers, and the curious to a most unusual-and visual- of "zoological" displays: David Holmes' Mystical Mechanical Menagerie. The sculptures, created during Holmes' recent sabbatical, will be displayed in the Communication Arts Gallery now through Thursday, Nov. 2. Admission to the exhibition is free. Holmes said this collection of oddly formed" animals" appears to be part of a circus sideshow gone terribly wrong. "For ages we have selectively bred and crossbred animals until we converted them into the most acceptable archetype attainable circumventing the laws of natural selection," said Holmes. "What will the next step be?" His vision of the "next step" is the combination of the animal and the mechanical. These "new" beasts of servitude emerge as Frankenstein-like creatures, a jumble of flesh and chrome. The affect is an arresting array of beasts that at-once frighten and amuse. "While the purpose of the Menagerie is to confront the audience with what we have done to our fellow creatures, I have attempted to empha, size a more humorous approach to the issue." Holmes stated. The Mystical Mechanical Menagerie by David Holmes is open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday and Thursday, 11am toSp.m, Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The gallery is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
