The Canada Geese that greet us as we walk from the parking lot to the entrance doors are a nuisance to some and a warm welcome to others. No matter how one looks at it, l.....- -=~ they are causing quite a stir. By the end of the 19th century the Canada Goose was nearing extinction due to excessive hunting and mass This .c1ose encounter is a common experience for those walking from the parkmg lot to the Communication Arts building. killing. According to the Humane Society"of the United States, the International Migratory Bird Treaty Act was created to protect the surviving species. fn the 1 960s,measures were taken to rebuild the geese populations. These efforts caused an over abundance in the species and the overflow is highly evident in urban populations. As these relocated geese have not learned their species' migratory patterns; they have instead remained year-round in urban and suburban areas where wide lawns, parks, golf courses, and artificial ponds mimic their natural habitats. UW-Parkside'scampus and surroundings provide all of these elements. Some of the more common complaints from students living in the dorms are the early morning wake-up calls of the vocal variety provided. by the geese. Most people have a story or two about being chased or hissed at by these territorial web-footed creatures. Since they are currently in mating season, they tend to be more UW-Parkside students cast their votes Amber Smith Editor-in-Chief President earning 243 votes. Kellogg and Sidhu will both be sworn in along with the Senate on April 25, 2003. They will begin their terms on June 1st, 2003 when the 2002-2003 term ends for the current PSGAPresident Marco Morrison. UWP student Peng Her stated that "while at first I was kind of shaky about the idea of Kyle winning, ...he seems to have his head on straight and he seems to feel that he owes something to those that voted for him. After being elected he seemed to realize the responsibilities of the position. I think he'll do fine next year:' The ballot also proposed a constitutional amendment seeking to change the number of Senators to fifty.The student voters passed this amendment. The University ofWisconsin Parkside students also voted to On March 5th and 6th Parkside's Student Government Association (PSGA) held their annuaf elections to determine who would be in power for the 2003-2004school year.

Police Beat Page: 6 aggressive. But the most tommon complaint? You guessed itthe green droppings spattered all over the campus' walkways. That is where the Maintenance department comes in. Of course, sidewalks can be hosed off to rid them of the geese feces, but that is both time consuming and fruitless.An experiment is currently being conducted in which a product called Flight Control Plus® is being spread on the grass in an effort to deter the geese from the sidewalks. According to Donald Kolbe, UW-Parkside's Facilities Management Director, the product is"safer than sugar." It is not a poison and will not harm the geese; it is only meant to give the grass a bad taste for them. If the geese can be discouraged from grazing on the Continued on page 7. • I' The Ranger I· News If you are interested in being a part of our team next fall, come fill out an application now11ime is running out.

Admission was free and approxiamately twenty-five students attended. The show was held in a darkened, candie lit Union Square. Pascatelli entertained students for an hour. Pascatelli gave a great show and really involved the audience in her act. She got a lot of laughs. Her material included our blustery Wisconsin winters, cheese head jokes, and her experience as a member of a Sicilian family. At one point, Pascatelli asked what it was that I was writing down. After telling her I was a reporter there to cover the story. she joked about people stealing her material. She thumbed through a copy of The Ranger News on stage and added her Mike Kelias Pete Phara Kathleen Thomas Lisa Smith Redelia Souter Danielle Talbert Distinguished Student Leader Dannie Moore WAR, RACISM, AND THE NEED FOR.POLITICAL ACTION comic twists and perspectives regarding the tOPiCSof the stories, too.

She expects to go to the war torn region sometime between June I and June 15 of 2003. Pascatelli lives in Los Angeles. She has met many famous comedians, including Jerry Seinfeld. She has toured with Jennifer Lopez in the past, too. Pascatelli provided the crowd with a fresh perspective on life and was very amusing. The Parkside Activities Board (PAB) sponsored the event.

Page 4 April 17 May I, 2003 _ion The Ranger News Parkside elections -2003 Sandee Cornell Why did only about 14% of larkside's enrollment vote in the past Sfudent Government Association (PSGA) presidential election? I am sure some of you are thinking,"Well, I did."As someone who thinks voting is very- important and believes that every vote does count, I would personally like to thank the 736 people who did vote. Whether the results are good or bad, voting makes a difference. For the rest of you, what's the matter? Don t you care about your university? I was quite involved with Jamie Freeman's campaign. Working with Jamie, who, as some of you may know, ran for president on the write-in ballol, gave me the chance to talk to a number of people during the two voting days and I asked them some questions. When J approached some people to ask them if they had voted yet and they told me.r'No", I·asked them why they hadn't. The two most common responses that I received were, either that they did not know enough about the candidates, or that they did not even know anything about the elections. These are both poor excuses. I think those people were just trying to avoid my incessant campaign-crazed harassing which I apologize for, but I am sure you know that that is the way campaigns work. For those of you who really did not know about elections or really did not know enough about the candidates, I have to ask you, "Where have you been?" For about a week before elections, Parksides own radio station, WIPZ, aired a taped debate between the presidential and vice presidential candidates. Each candidate asked the other candidates questions and reported their campaign platforms.1f anything, that was most likely your best source to get more information about candidates and to form valuable interesting questions since WIPZ aired the debated several times a day. For those of you who cannot tune into WIPZ because of its limited range that seems to go only to the University Apartments and back, you could have gone to the live debate in Upper Main Place on Wednesday March 5, 2003. It was there that you could have listened to all of the candidates, except, of course, the one who was golfing, talk about their platforms and all of the potential plans they envisioned for PSGA next semester. There was a limited question and answer session after the speaking, but despite the briefness of the Q&A, I was happy to see that all of the candidates seemed to be willing to answer any individual questions not only after the debate, but also any other time in the hallways. Considering the excuse that you simply did not want to vote is not an acceptable excuse, there really is no excuse at all for not having voted. It Sure takes time to research the candidates, and believe me, I was far too pressed for time during elections week then I would have liked to have been, but I definitely feel good about the fact that not only did I vote, but I was also an educated voter, even if I don't think that "Cereal" (A.k.a. Kellogg) will do the Parkside" [student] body good". Voting is important. So, next semester, make sure that you throw down your clubs and get seriously involved in the elections. • • IS coming soon watch for more information sponsored by PAR This advertisement was not paid for with state appropriated funds.
