 Issue 10 Vol. 33 Tke University of Wisconsm-Parksitle s Student Newspaper Feb. 27-March 5, 2003 UW-Parkside mourns student's death Christine Rathke On Monday, Feb. 17, 2003, a crowd of more than 200 stu­dents, staff, friends, and family gathered on the UW-Parkside campus to mourn the death of student Christine Rathke. She was killed in a head-on car collision the previous day. Emo­tions ran high as candles were lit and tears were shed for the 20-year-old junior. A 20-minute press confer­ence took place earlier in the day to answer questions with the students and the UW -Park-side Women's Basketball team Rathke was so much a part of. Athletic Director Dave Williams was there with the Women's Basketball coach Jenny Knight and team captains Jamie Nebel and Katie Pruessing. "Our deepest sympothies go out to the Rathke family; they are our number-one concern at this point," said Williams. It appeared as if the team members had not only lost a teammate, but a good friend. "She had a way of bringing the team together," said Puessing."I can still hear her laugh." "She was always a team player," Knight commented. "She just cared about others and didn't really think about herself first." Rathke had her whole future in front of her. Sports seemed to be her life. She was awarded a full scholarship at Southeast Missouri State Uni­versity after leading the Franklin High School basketball team to the state finals for two consecutive years. She moved home after two years in Mis­souri to be closer to friends and family. It seemed like Rathke was just getting back into the feel of the game after missing the first 16 games due to injuries. Her first game back was on Jan. 23, 2003. She only scored two points and had one rebound, but the home game on the day before Rathke's death, she scored a season-high 20 points, and had six rebounds. "She did have a great game that day and she was just real­ly excited," Knight said. According to Jyl Krohn, Rathke's oldest sister, she loved the game of basketball, and "She had a way of bringing the team together...I can still hear her laugh" lived for it in every way. But she was not aspiring to go professional as an athlete. Instead, she took school more seriously seeking a degree in communi­cations and hoping to become a teacher or coach at some point. The car accident that robbed Rathke of her future is said to be the result of reckless driving. The driver of the car that crossed the center line of the highway moments before it hit Rathke's car head on was 19-year-old Victor Sanchez, who was taken into custody after being treated for head and neck injuries. He faces a charge of homi­cide by negligent operation of a vehicle and his case is being reviewed by the Milwaukee Coun­ty District Attorney's Office. Sanchez's 20-year-old passenger, Carlos Martinez Ramos, was in critical condition with severe head injuries as of February 18,2003. Those mourning the death of Rathke did not focus on who to blame as much as they focused on the fact that their friend was gone forever. The women's basketball team practice was cancelled on Monday so the team could attend the memorial service that night, and the game on Thursday was postponed for Rathke's funeral. The basketball team 'On the day before Rathke's death, she scored a season-high 20 points, and had six rebounds." attempted to get back on track with a few informal practices, preparing for their next game against Southern Indiana. Knight said they want to try and do something to memori­alize Rathke as a teammate. With only four more games left in the season, the Rangers hope to have Rathke's high spirits with them. The Parkside Student Govenment Association is planning to plant two trees on campus dedicated to the two students who passed in the last year: Christine Rathke and Amanda Fitzgerald. on the Inside Election Info Page: 4 Police Beat Page: 9 Apollo Night Page: 12 &#13;
