On October 26; UW-Parkside's Womyn's Center held its 11th annual "Take Back the Night" convention to discuss the issue of rape prevention on school campuses. Two guest speakers, Jacqueline Claire Robmson and Stephen Montogna, spoke that night for the cause. Robinson, a 'visiting nurse well-experienced in caring for rape victims, said 60 percent of all rape victims are children; lout of 6 men have been a victim; and lout of 3 women have been raped. Robinson is a nurse for the Aurora Healthcare Center in Kenosha where she works with the. Rape Prevention Program. Of all of her experience, she says the most important help that a person can give a rape victim is their empathy, not sympathy. A person should admit they don't know what the victim is going through and offer to be there for them when the victim needs them. . The second guest speaker for the night was Stephen Montogna from the UW-Center for Women's Health. As a member of the center, he is also a volunteer for "Men Stopping Rape." He stressed that as a society, we have countless derogatory names for sexually active women in the Oxford English Dictionary, while sexually active men 'are glorified with titles that are more positive. "We need to move on from intervention [of rape awareness), to prevention." Demanding a movement for re-education, he focused on men and stated that we all must be allies with women and each other. Following the guest speakers, organizer of "Take Back the Night," Jaclyne Buzzell, opened the podium for volunteer speakers. Buzzell recalled her near encounter with rape and the "World March of Women" she participated in earlier this month in Washington D.C. Another male speaker was Parkside Student Government Association member, Jamie Freeman, who took the stand to express his admiration that half the audience was male, and to say that it is time that men get involved to help protect and inform today's society of rape prevention. The night concluded with a march around the dorms. Those who attended chanted rape prevention slogans See "Take Back," Page 3 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parks ide Ins • 1 d e 3 Center opens; dance is "arresting" New center opens; 4 people arrested at dance. 4 Who is Ralph Nader;» Get to know the Green Party nominee, Ralph Nader. 5 Entenainment Ben Stiller "Meets the Parents" and foreign film "Fire" heats things up. 6 Sports Halloween Hoopla is a success, women's basketball prepares for new season, and Italian-Americans inMajor League baseball. 1 Sports Men's soccer, women's v-ball, men's basketball.

As the march continued, a few students deemed it necessary to mock "People [outside the building] weren't listening to our commands to move away from the doors," -Yarbrough said, He added that people close to the doors were being pushed against them by those further back in the crowd who were impatient to enter the building, Campus police along with Kenosha Sheriff and Kenosha city police officers then moved the crowd away from the doors, Yarbrough said the police were forced to use pepper spray on one or two people who were verbally and physically abusive to the officers.Three ofthose taken into custody were arrested near the Union building, another person was later arrested for disorderly conduct near the University Apartments, There were no injuries reported, The Kenosha Sheriff's Department and the Kenosha Police Departments returned later in the morning mainly to help clear the parking lots of traffic following the dance, "It wasn't too bad," Yarbrough said. "Most people had a great time," Participants of "Take Backthe Night" rally before the campus walk and bonfire. Page 4 Who is Ralph NaderP Editor's note: The views expressed in this article are the opinion of the writer, not of The Ranger. By Sarah Olsen With the presidential election only days away, many people may worry that they will never decide in time which person to vote for. There is a vast majority of information ab,?ut both presidential nominees George W. Bush and Vice-President AI Gore, but what about Ralph Nader? Who, you ask? Ralph Nader is the presidential nominee for the Green l'arty. It may seem unimaginable to many people that we could elect a gresident not supported either by the Republican or emocratic parties; however, maybe that is exactly why we should take a closer look at Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader was born in 1934 in Winstead, CT to Lebanese immigrants Rose and Nathra Nader. In 1955, he graduated magna cum laude from Princeton, and 1958 from Harvard Law School. In 1963, Nader was an unlcnown twenty-nine-year old attorney who aband~)Deda conventional law practice in Hartford, CT and hitchhiked to Washington, D.C. to begin a long odyssey of professional citizenship. Nader took a job working as ~ consultant to the U.S. Department of Labor, for ASSistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He moonlighted as a freelance writer for The Nation and The Christian Science Monitor. In 1965, Nader tackled General Motors and the American auto industry in his best-selling book "Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile." GM attempted to discredit Nader, who in turn, sued them for invasion of privacy. The president of GM was forced to go before the Senate Committee and admit wrongdoing, which resulted in a senes of sa.fety laws forcmg the auto industry to make drastic design changes for safer motor vehicles. Nader took the money he won from the settlement and launched the modern consumer movement. In 1971, Nader founded "Public Citizen" to be the consumers' .eyes and ears in Washington, working for "consumer. JustIce and gov~rnment and corporate accountability.

He has bought the ring, planned the proposal, and now all he needs to do is ask. Only one thing stands in the way - meeting the parents. "Meet the Parents" is the epitome of everyone's worst nightmare. Greg (Ben Stiller) wants nothing more than to marry Pam (Teri Polo). Just when he is about to propose, a phone call from Pam's sister interrupts him. Debbie, Pam's sister, just got engaged and is going to be married. Greg learns that he has to meet the parents before he can ask Pam to marry him. Greg plans to use the trip to New Yorkfor Debbie's wedding as the opportunity to win Pam's parents over before he asks her to marry him. Upon arrival at the family's house, Greg meets what appears to be a typically happy family: a loving father and mother and a devoted sister and brother. Greg's first impression starts off wrong when his dry wit falls flat with Mr. Byrne (Robert DeNiro). Mr. Byrne asks Greg how to pronounce his last name ".Focker" and finds that it is said just like the four-letter word it sounds like. The parents then discover that Greg is a male nurse, a job they seem to not approve of for men. Greg feels that he is not making a good impression and attempts to rectify the situation by overcompensating. However, it seems that nothing he says or does can fix the horribly hilarious chain of events that follows. l Ben Stiller, right, meets "Dad,"played by Robert DeNiro, with horribly hilarious results in "Meet the Parents." UW·Parkside Foreign FilBls offer slice froBl a different way of life By:Lisa Whitcomb UW-Parkside's annual Foreign Film series is celebrating its 19th season this year. Over the years, the series has proven to be extremely popular with the community, boasting over 1,000 patrons in many seasons. Since the beginning, the series has been overseen by ProfessorsNorman Cloutier (Economics), who has served as Director since the series inception, Donald Kurnrnings (English), and Richard Rosenberg (Economics). The series popularity stems from a number of things, the first being patron participation. Each spring, the current patrons receive surveys for the next season, which list 40 movie titles and brief descriptions. After considering the choices, the patrons return their votes by the end of the spring semester. Once the surveys are tallied, the professors select the top 14, which will be shown throughout the academic year. This ensures a balance of countries and genres for the audiences' benefit. The patrons then receive a brochure' announcing the selected movies and cost for the season. Another important feature that draws in the crowds is the quality of the films. Norm Cloutier said that the films are, "Anti-Hollywood because they delve deep into [the art of] storytelling and character development." Traditionally, student interest in the series has been low. Professor Cloutier would like to see more students attend the festival. He attributed the lack of interest to the fact that "Most students don't know what a foreign film is. Students may think that they need to speak the language of the film [in order to understand it], This is not Slee 'J.in ',' true. The films are all subtitled." The series success is also due in part to outside sources covering the event. Cloutier stated "In the past few years, we've gotten excellent press coverage from the Kenosha News and the Racine Journal Times." This coverage is beneficial in drumming up new patrons from the community, who are always welcome to join the series at anytime throughout the year. "Foreign films do require a little effort, but they are surprisingly delightful and well worth it. The series provides people with the opportunity of seeinll quality films that they might not otherwise see unless they went to someplace like Chicago," said Cloutier. The series initially costs $25 for all 14 films (a guest may be brought to any three films for free), but as the series progresses the cost is pro-rated down to mclude only the films left. Tickets are only sold as season passes because it ensures excellent attendance, which !>"arantees the success of the series, and It reduces the amount of money handled on campus, thus increasing patrons' security. Including this weeks "Fire," the price is $19 for the 11 films left. The films are shown Thursday through Sunday on selected dates for each film, For more information on tickets, call the Ranger ) Card office at 595-2655. For more information about the movies go to UWParkside's horne web page under "Fun Stuff" and look under events Icalendars. Under this heading students can access brief film descriptions and links to outside sources, which delve deeper into the films being shown. Foreign filBl "Fire" guaranteed to heat things UP I By: Lisa Whitcomb Last weekend, Foreign Film Series patrons were able to go deep into the human psyche with "The Inheritors" an Austrian film that portrayed the darker side of human beings in the face of greed and covetousness. The film dealt with the community pressures placed on seven peasants who were willed a farm. The film, which was set in the beautiful Austrian countryside, took _a dark, serious look at murder, rape, and pillage among the farmers (the haves) and the newly endowed peasants (the tra~litional havenots). The film interjected humor and light fantasy at times to counter balance the ugliness of the mood. This weekend, the series will be showing "Fire" a controversial Indian film that has been critically acclaimed because it explores the intensely personal relationship between two .Indian women. This topic has been taboo in India and never before been portrayed in a film, The Hindu language even lacks a word for lesbianism. The film promises to be an excellent story of innocence and loneliness between two frustrated wives who are sister-in-laws. They finally find the love that they so desperately need, and long for, in the arms of each other. The film is directed by Deepa Mehta, and it is an allegory of social protest against her native country's indifference to women's rights.

UN IV eas ITY IIWI.JCON SIN COLLEGES Italian Americans' baseball breakthrough By Dena Coady' . Making it into Major League Baseball IS a very hard task. Lookingback though, a lot of players have made it into the Majors. The most well known players are Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, and Ted Williams. Recently discussed on the second floor of the library was the topic Italian Amencans in Major League Baseball. . . The two famous Italian Amencans are Joe DiMaggio of the past and Mike Piazza of the pr~senl. Speaking of Piazza, he played in the World Senes this year. It was known as the Subway Series this year. Mike Piazza is a catcher for the New York Mets. The Mets played the other team from New York, the Yankees. Although, these two are well known Italian Americans in baseball, they are not the first to break through the Majors. . . The first Italian American to ever play m Major League Baseball was James "ED" Abbaticchio. Abbaticchio's first break in the Majors was With Philadelphia in 1897. That year he only played three games and had ten at bats. With those ten at bats he only had three hits. In 1898 he played in 25 games and had 92 at bats. With the 92 at bats, he had 21 hits. That same year he had 14 runs batted in (RBI). After 1898, Abbaticchio decided to leave the game of baseball and try football. He became the first Italian to play in two major sporting events. In 1903 Abbaticchio went back to baseball. From 1903 to 1905 he played for the Boston Red Sox. His best season with the Red Sox was his last year with them in 1905 when he had 170 hits where.he had 610 at bats. In 1907 Abbaticchio played for the Pittsburgh Pirates until 1910. Abbaticchio had 82 horne runs his highest ever, in his first year with the Pirates. . In 1908, he hit a grand-slam homerun in the last game of the season that was ruled foul and cost the Pirates the National League pennant. Sometime after the end of that season, a woman sued the Pirates for being struck by that homerun ball while watching the game from her seat in fair territory. Abbaticchio will always be known for missing a chance to get his team into the World Series. In 1910 during the middle of the season Abbaticchio was traded to the Boston Red Sox again. This was also his last year of play. He then retired to run his father's hotel. Abbaticchio nickname became known as "Batty. u See the reason why Italian Americans' became involved so much with baseball is because the second generation of Italian irrunigrants in the Ll.S,wanted to be more American like. So they figured in order to do this they 'would get more involved in baseball. After all baseball was and still is seen as the Nations National Past Time. Plus, ifit weren't for Italian Americans we wouldnit know Babe Ruth as the "Great Bambino." Italian Americans were huge fans of the Babe and carne up with that nickname for him. Larry Baldassaro, PH.D coordinator of Italian Studies and Director of the Honors Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was the speaker about Italian Americans in Major League Baseball. Baldassaro was a Boston red Sox fan growing up. He hated the New York Yankees and Joe DiMaggio. He idolized Ted Williams. Abbaticchio paved the way for Piazza to of played in the World Series this year.
