Jackie Pace Reporter It may not seem unusual to seekassistance from your pro- fessors and instructors when preparing for your post-gradua- tion plans. You might ask them to write a glowing letter of rec- ommendation to help pave the wayfor potential job interviews, or even admission into one of the country's top graduate schools. Once you leave col- lege,you might think that you do not need to remember these people who have filled your mind with knowledge. Howev- er,those bridges that you estab- lish through getting to know your professors and instructors over the years you spend here at Parkside, might prove to' be useful someday. You never know when you will need them to serve as a phone-a-friend life- line on the "Who wants to be a Millionaire" game show, to help youwin some cash. Joe Kane,a UW-Parksidealumni who gradu- ated in 1996 with an English major and history minor along with teacher certification in both subjects, chose to use his former professors in this way Whenhe recently won an undis- closedamount of money on the syndicated game show now hosted by Meredith Vieira, who replaced former host Regis Philbin. Kane, who presently teaches reading at Jerstad-Ager- holm Middle School in Racine, described his educational on the Inside Joe Kane, UWP alumni experience at UW-Parkside as being extremely valuable and rewarding saying,"] had a great group of professors many of who are still there, who made a huge impact on my life." In fact, Kane who was awarded schol- arships while he was a student here, has been giving back to the university by providing scholarship money for English students over the past several years. He hopes to continue this scholarship fund and possi- bly even increase it a little with some of the money he won from the millionaire show. Joe, who describes himself as being pretty good at trivia, heard about tryouts being held in Chicago while watching the Chicago local news on channel 2 one day this past summer. After making arrangements to go down to the hotel where try- outs were being held on July 11th , he waited two hours in line before he was let in to take the thirty-question multiple- choice test. This test, in which people are given twelve min- utes to answer the thirty ques- tions, replaced the former sys- tem of dialing-in and answering questions over the phone. Joe described the test as being "very difficult," and says he felt absolutely sure that he would not qualify To his shock and amazement, he found' out right away when they scored the test 'there that he had indeed quali- fied as a contestant. Next, on September 12th, he received a phone message from the game show telling him that arrange- ments had been made for him to appear as a con- testant on the show. On Septem- ber 30th, he was flown out to New York on "a nice little jet wit h leather seats,"where they had someone waiting at the airport to pick him up and drive him to the Lucerne Hotel where he stayed for three nights. The hotel, which he described as being "fancy with marble bathrooms and real art on the walls," was something that he says "a schooJ-teacher [like himself] probably couldn't afford." With Thankful for the obscure Page: 3 the plane ticket to New York and back home to Wisconsin along with hotel lodging; and $200 spending cash, which were all provided for him by the millionaire game show, Joe said "Even if I didn't win any money, I felt like I'd already won:' Although he cannot reveal just how much money he won on the game show, due to his signing a lot of legal papers and disclosure agreements say- ing that he would not reveal his winnings or any of the ques- tions he was asked since the show has not aired on televi- sion yet, Kane did say, "I vas thrilled with the outcome of it, especially when I'd seen how they were bragging about hard the questions were 'on the new syndicated /ersion J :' He was so thrilled in fact, that after the taping of the show was over, he went out and celebrated his win- nings by himself at ~ one of the steak d houses in Manhat- tan.splurging $70 on some champagne and "the biggest lob- ster dinner in New York City," Kane said that the person who . played the game after he did also won the same amount of money, but was very bummed out that he had only won that particular amount. Kane said that it all depends on your perspective,"1 didn't make a fool out of myself, I got this trip, and I won some money."
