"The chalIt probably has not escaped the notice of many students or faculty here at UW-Parkside that there has been some construction taking place across campus lately. For those of you keeping a weary eye on tuition rates, worry not. We, the students, are not paying for the work. Under UWP's "Road and Sidewalk Project," our campus undergoes a once-a-year assessment of all sidewalks and roadways. During this assessment, a crew evaluates the safety of the sidewalks, as well as the availability of wheelchair accessibility. Those areas deemed a potential liability for the University are then repaired, The school contracts the work to the lowest bidder and then waits for the work to get done. Unfortunately for UWP students, it took until late September for the contractors to start repairing the sidewalks, creating an eyesore and an occasional detour on the way to class. The good news is the roughly $60,000 project is fully state-funded and will not cost students anything, except a little extra lime to get to class. Another positive aspect of this is that as winter closes in, and the need for salt on the roadways draws nearer, the construction crews are striving to complete their on-eampus work within the next 30 days, as of press-lime, so as to avoid any potential complications resulting from the use of salt. In addition to the sidewalk and roadway work being done on campus, there are also plans to remodel the 01 levels of Molinaro Hall and the Communication Arts buildin1k One result from this work will be, 'More, better facilities, especially for music, art, and the dramatic arts," said ViceChancellor William Streeter. It is probably evident to the UWP community, as well, that there is some work being done on Rt. 31, and that some of it is infringing on UW-Parkside property. The Wisconsin Department of Transfortation (DOT) is in the process a widening Rt. 31 into a fourlane highway with a medial strip. In order to expand the highway onto campus property, the DOT had to See Construction, Page 3 A bit of New York graces the Communication Arts Theatre as workers put the finishing touches the set of "A View From the Bridge."

October 19, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin Parkside Page 3 UWP COLLECTS WIS. DIVERSITY AWARD The Wisconsin Department of Employment Relations (DER) presented UW-Parkside with the department's first-ever Diversity Award on Thursday, Oct. 12. The presentation was made in Madison by DER Secretary Peter Fox. The Wisconsin Department of Justice also was received an award, with UWMilwaukee receiving honorable mention. Fox praised UW-Parkside for its success in attracting qualified faculty and staff to the Kenosha campus. Twelve percent of those hired by the University from June 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000 were African American. Another 6.3 percent of the employees hired were of Hispanic decent, and 4.1 percent had ASian herita~e. Fox said UW-Parkside s efforts are an example of a decade-long trend of greater employment opportunities at state agencies. _ "Over the last ten years there has been a 22 percent decline in the number of state employment groups that were under-represented for women and minorities," he said. That's a great achievement. There are still areas where there is under-represenFlanking DER Secretary Peter Fox, UW-Parkside Chancellor Jack Keating, left, and Diversity chief Herb Pitts collect the hardware as the state top agencies for diversity. UW-Milwaukee received honorable mention tation and we will continue to try to clear that up." . In accepting the award, UWParkside Chancellor Jack Keating said the University is committed to reflecting the ethnic diversity of its area. "I personally believe no university today is really a university that's able to educate it's students effectively if it does not have a diverse population both in its students and in its staff and faculty. This is critical in today's SOCiety,"Keating said. He then added, "We must relate to the demographic environment we live in. And that is our goal at UWParkside: to serve the region with a demographic profile that makes no difference between us and the profile of the region we live in southeastern Wisconsin. " UW-Parkside's Director of Equity and Diversity Herbert Pitts, said as UW-Parkside recruits more students of color, diversity of its staff becomes increasingly important. "A diverse faculty and staff gives students role models and mentors they can emulate during their education," Pitts said. Pitts added the recruitment of a more diverse student population is a major part of the University of Wisconsin System's Plan 2008 goals. UWParkside has the second highest percentage of minority students in the system's network of 26 four- and two-year campuses. Twenty-seven Wisconsin state agencies were invited to submit an application for the Diversity Award. Every UW System campuses also was elil"ble to apply. Another Each agency s and campus' diversity program was reviewed for its impact on their overall diversity achievements. People at Work Cont'd from Page 1 negotiate with the University on a few matters. First, the DOT agreed to move the UWP sign at the comer of Rt. 31 and Highway E at its expense. In addition, the DOT will reroute the cross country course, also at state expense. Also, the DO.T has agreed to pay $10,000 (in addition to the costs of widening the highway), half of which goes to UW-Parkside, and the other half to the state. This part of the agreement is still pending. Don Kolbe, of Facilities Management, is excited about the work being done, both on campus and on Rt. 31. "The work on Rt. 31 will make it easier for students to get to campus, and the redone sidewalks will add an element of safety for the students." Unfortunately, there are no plans, as yet, to replace any of the roughly 50 trees that were cut down in order to make room for the highway work. Make a difference - vote!

Take Back the Night rallv set for Oct. 26 By Christine Agaiby One in four women will be sexually assaulted during her college career. One in three women will be sexually assaulted sometime in their life. How can we change these statistics? The Womyn's Center at UW-Parkside wants to provide a solution with a chance for women to "take back the night" with a rally and a march through campus. " "Take Back the Night" is an annual international event. It was started in England in 1978 where many women complained they were afraid to walk on the street at night because of the frequency with which sexual assault was being committed. This was a night where women-banded together, speaking out against assault. UW-Parkside's Womyn's Center has been sponsoring this event for 11 years. "Take Back the Night" is always held on the last Thursday in October in conjunction with UW-Parkside's Rape Awareness Week. When asked why it is held at this time, [aclyne Buzzell, a member of the Womyn's Center responded, "If you're going to be sexually assaulted in college, it will most likely occur within your first six weeks of school. This is especially true for freshman who may be living away from home for the first time and want to fit in." Nicole Forast, another Womyn's Center member added, "Freshman, or any student for that matter, may not be paying attention to how much they've been drinking, making them a likely victim for sexual assault." Coordinators, students, police officers, and members of the medical community will be present at the -- Page 4 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin Parkside October 19, 2000 Milwaukee Public Museum under shark attack, swim at vour own risk By Sarah Olsen The Milwaukee Public Museum is hosting a special exhibit titled "SHARKS! Fact and Fantasy," Oct. 14 to Jan. 14. The museum will be transformed into a dramatic underwater seascape complete with 17 life-sized shark models, aquariums with live sharks, and a life-sized diving cage. The mere mention of the word "shark" sends chills down the spines of most people. Films like "Jaws" and "Deep Blue Sea" have given sharks a reputation as cold-blooded killing machines. However, fewer than 15 people are killed annually in shark attacks. In fact, there is a grea ter danger of a person being killed by a pig or an elephant than by a shark. Milwaukee would seem a strange place to host a shark exhibit, considering the distance to the nearest salt water shore. However, over 370 million years ago, long before the first dinosaurs walked the Earth, much of Wisconsin was on the shore of a .large sea and home to many shark species. The museum will have on display pieces of rock formations with fossilized sharks from the Milwaukee area. Visitors also have the rare opportunity to view sharks feeding. The feedings will take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12-1 p.m. Visitors can also view a shark embryo in an egg case and a dissected dogfish shark. The admission to the shark exhibits is free with regular museum admission, The fee is $6.50 for adults (18-59), $5 for seniors (60-plus), $4 for children aged 4-17, and free for children 3 and under. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call the museum at (414) 278-2702. Artistic books displaved atlibrarv An exhibition of Artists Books, entitled "BadWater Invitational" is on display at the UW-Parkside Library this month. The exhibit features more than 40 local and national artists working in the field of Book Arts. A variety of media are included from traditional letterpress, handmade paper, and acrylic painting, to collage, printmaking, and found objects. Many are unique and one-of-a-kind and will challenge your concept of what a book can be. The exhibit is co-sponsored by Friends of the Library and the BadWater Book Club.

Take a walk around to the east side of Greenquist Hall. You will have to look closely to see it-it's so environmentally friendly that it is hard to notice. The log benches and podium are camouflaged by the natural surroundings. The location is nice because it is located between Communication Arts and Molinaro Hall and is directly in front of Greenquist Hall. Ed Wallen, the head of Health, Safety and Environmental Committee, had attempted in the past to have an outdoor classroom built. This summer the committee finally approved his idea. Banda receives five Emmv nORlinaUW-Parkside Adjunct Instructor in Communication Dan Banda has been nominated for five Emmy awards for his film "Indigenous Always." The film was shown on campus last semester. He is in the running for best documentary, best writing, best videography, best musical composition, and best editing. Banda will teach a Comm 290 documentary filmmaking course in spring 2001. He also will run a series of public lectures to be called "The inner workings of documentary filmmaking." These will feature the individuals in charge of videography, music, editing, and himself as the writer (producer. UW-Parkside makes enrollment gains Preliminary enrollment figures for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside show an increase in full-time students for fall semester 2000. The University welcomed 3,560 full-time equivalent (FIE) students, an increase of 31 students from fall semester 1999. Total enrollment for the semester is 4,92L Final figures will be available at the end of October. A single student or several students taking a total of 15 credits is defined as a full-time equivalent by the University of Wisconsin System. The FTE figure is used to determine state funding within the University of Wisconsin System. The classroom was built by Nick Koski. It also can be used as a meeting place for clubs, and for memorial services, and ceremonies. If it is used frequently, additions could include a blackboard, screen, writing arms, lapboards, and electricity. There were some professors who say the classroom is not student friendly because the seating can't be moved to form discussion groups. The classroom was built with a podium and long log benches arranged in a typical classroom seating style. Although the structure is typical, the setting is not. Visit the outdoor classroom for yourself and decide whether you like it or not. ) \ Dr. Lee Ross, standing, makes a point during a Criminal Justice class utilizing UW-Parkside's outdoor classroom. The facility opened for use this fall. Sport and Fitness Management new major this fall By Zach Robertson Have you ever thought of working for a professional sports organization or owning your own fitness center? If the answer is "yes," then UW-Parkside has the major you need. This fall marks the beginning of the new Sport and Fitness Management major at UW-Parkside. After 4 years of planning and working out the necessary details through the University of Wisconsin System, students now can declare Sport and Fitness Management as their major. Students in this program will be able to choose between two different options within the major-the sports option and the fitness option. The sports option i~ designe~ for students who are mterested ill careers such as sports marketing, sports information, and sports law. The fitness option is science-based but also has an application background. This View Cont'd from Page 1 handsome and questions his masculinity. He also is concerned that Rodolpho is using Catherine to gain citizenship. Another dynamic in the triangle is Eddie's emotional attachment to Catherine and Beatrice's attempts to keep her man. The conflict turns Eddie from a loving father figure to an aggressive protector determined to crush Rodolpho and Catherine's relationship. Sunstrom, who calls Miller "America's greatest living playwright," said "A View from the Bridge" will hit close to home for many people in southeastern Wisconsin. option would be for someone interested in careers such as fitness assessment or fitness management pro~ams. 'One of the big pluses of this major is that it takes a multidisciplinary approach" says deEartment chair Dr. Penny Lyter. ' Students will take courses in businesss, accounting, human resources, management, as well as sport and fitness classes." - Sport and Fitness Management is becoming a popular field across the country. Sport management is a newer major, while fitness management has been around for a while. However, UW-Parkside handles the fitness option differently than other schools. . "We attach the management side to the fitness option so the student will get a business background. That way, they won't be coming out "The play's themes and struggles will speak to the heart of the Racine and Kenosha communities. The story is built around the struggles of an Italian immigrant family in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn. Ninety percent of all Italian immigrants in our area have family that originally arrived in this country via the port of New York. It will be very easy for the community to see their grandparents, parents, and even themselves in the characters of the play," he said. Tickets for "A View from the Bridge" are $7 for students, facility, staff, and seniors, and $10 for adults. Discount tickets are available for groups of 20 or more, and money saving coupon books also are available. For reservations and information, call Diane Smith at ext. 2564 or contact smithd@Uwp.edu bye-mail. just as a exercise physiologist, but someone who can manage and operate their own business" said Dr. Lyter. With the growing process that is currently underway in the physical education department, they are hoping to hire a new faculty to help with the program. The department is still offering certificates in wellness, coaching, and sports management. "We want to make sure we are covering everything the students need in order to come out of here with an adequate experience", said Dr. Lyter. With the new Sports and Activities Center and the new major, the Physical Education Department is looking forward to its future. "We are very excited about the new major, especially with the new facility. This IS a real growing time for our whole department" said Dr. Lyter. "0 f ::r ~ ~ N o.

They offered one housemate the chance to leave with $50,000. Even though it was very tempting, all of them declined explaining they were there to playa game and 'have fun. Cassandra was the next one banished. The other housemates felt she did not contribute to late night discussions and was more secure when it came to leaving the house. She was proud of her time in the house and explained it as an "experience of a lifetime." Her family greeted her on Day 71 when she left the house. George "Chicken Man," the oldest contestant, was the sixth person to leave the house after every other housemate. nominated him. He's a roofer from Rockford, a husband and father. He was so proud to be part of Big Brother he didn't hold the nominations against the others. He thought it was great they all choose him. One of the main reasons he took part in the show was to hopefully win and not have to worry about money for his daughter's college tuitions. He flew the coop on Day 78. Fourth place was said to be the worst position to be in because you are so close, yet so far away. Jamie "Hollywood" was banished next. She also is the current Miss Washington USA. She was vocal on her aspirations for acting and chose to meet with a casting director over her own mother when she won a challenge. The last female left the house on Day 85. Then there were three: Curtis, By Lynn Garcia Unless you have been hiding under a rock this past summer, you already know how popular "reality" shows are. The finale of Big Brother aired last Friday night. The CBS show took ten contestants-five males and five females-and threw them into a house without any contact with the outside world. Sounds like MTV's Real World, doesn't it? The catch: The housemates have to nominate two other housemates. The two people who have the most votes are then ' up for banishment." America could then call 1-900-740-1000 and vote for a housemate. Each call cost ninety-nine cents. The housemates had to participate in challenges and bet their grocery money on whether they would win or not. The first contestant to be banished was Will, better known as "Mega." He was a man who had no problem claiming what he thought belonged to him. He was the first to pick a bed and explore the rest of the house. Will was disloyal to his housemates. During the third challenge, "Dead or Alive," he answered the questions incorrectly, on purpose. The houseguests were supposed to answer whether a person was alive or dead. He answered three questions incorrectly and lost $70 of their $350 in grocery money. The other housemates suspected he threw the challenge and he was gone on Day 16. The next one banished was Jordan, the stripper. She was nominated for many reasons: being a neg.ative force in the house, not letting ISsues die, and acting as though she was better than the rest of the housemates. She left the house on Day 29. The third to go was the wife and mother of four, Karen. Her story was full of controversy from the very beginning. Karen said she had been part of a loveless marriage for 22 years with a husband who refused to kiss her on the lips. She often told the housemates she was planning on filing for divorce when she got out of the house. The reason she was nominated were for her own good. Many people thought she missed her kids and the house put a lot of unneeded stress on her. Karen said good-bye on Day 43. The fourth contestant banished was Brittany, the one with the colorful personality and hair. During her stay she took care of many of the housemates, cutting and coloring their hair. She donned red, blue, green, and black hair along with a bull-like nose ring. What was most interesting about Britt was her tiny romance with Josh. She was open and honest with him, letting it be known that she was a virgin. When she was nominated so were Cassandra, George, Eddie, and Josh. Unfortunately George's wife, Theresa, brought the city of Rockford, Ill.together to eliminate his competition, Brittany. The spunky 24-year-old left the house on Day 57. With half of the housernates gone, Eddie, and Josh. The last days in the Big Brother house were spent partying and drinking. Curtis dyed Iosh's' hair blue and they all celebrated as they awaited the announcement of the winner. On a liVE show on Sept. 29, Big Brother brought back all the houseguests to greet the winners as they came out into the "real world." The third runner up-Curtis-was the lawyer from New York City. His prize was $50,000. Even though he was up for banishment many times during the course of the show, Curtis made it to the end, Day 88. Second place was awarded to the civil engineering student from California, Josh. Whether he was being a ~ood friend or getting drunk and danemg the Irish Gig, Iosfi was always having a blast in tfie house. When asked wliat he would do with the money if he won he talked about putting some away for his niece's college education. Josh won $100,000 and also made it across the finish line. He left on Day 88. First place was awarded to Eddie, a student from New York, who lost his left leg to cancer. Even though he made it known from the very beginnir>g he was playing the game for money Eddie opened up and made some close friends. He plans to take some of the $500,000 and payoff some medical bills. He also anticipates a really great holiday season. It was very interesting to see now people react when they are thrown into a controlled situation. The threemonth show is over but I'm sure the next Big Brother is already in the works. n d f a p g Police Beat 010/03 Incident #00-746 Traffic Violation, CTH E, .3 miles east of Hwy 31, 6:12 a.m., driver was cited for speeding 63 mph in a 45 mph zone. 010I03 Incident #00-747 Personal Properly Theft, Wyllie Hall, 12:53 p.m.,a student reported losing her wallet in a restroom.
