"In about three weeks the grass will start sprouting again through the burned soil," said Jay.

The Ranger News On April 16, 2003, at 8:00 p.rn., hypnotist Fredrick Winters gave an entertaining show as he hypnotized volunteers from the audience (mostly Parkside students and some from the public). About 75 people attended and admission was free. The event was sponsored and organized by the Parkside Activities Board (PAB). Winters travels over 200,000 miles per year giving his shows to corporations and universities. He has hypnotized over 100,000 people and travels 9 months every year. He gave a noon show at Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin earlier in the day Winters is from Delavan, Wisconsin, and still makes his home there. The show lasted for about ninety minutes. Before Winters asked for volunteers from the audience to join him on stage to be hypnotized he said, "I do not know what is going to happen in the May 1,2003 show at Union Square pants moved their arms, to the pleasure of the audience, in humorous ways. In fact, throughout the night, the crowd laughed more than they did anything else as Winters had his 'hypnotees' do and ",••• react to dif- }.. -~~- •• __ •• __ • ferent com- ul rnands. He asked an audience member to come on stage and the participants in a trance were told that Fredric:kW'lIlters,hypnOti$t whatever * •••••••••••••• this person said was the smartest thing that anyone could ever say This person told them that he used green milk toothpaste and listening to the participant's responses was very entertaining to say the least as they all hailed him. Another scenario was that Winters had the 'hypnotees' driving in their favorite car down the road and then a siren was sounded in the Union and they were told that they were being pulled over for speeding. This was just one of the many situa- can tions the 'hypnotees' were put into including being told they were on the J err y Springer show to tell about their experience of seeing a UFO! Winters has visited Parkside in the past and a lot of the students who saw him perform then were in attendance proving that his show has entertainment value as it keeps the audience and participants active and entertained and coming think hypnotism help bring positive change to our lives and is a great way to improve our memory skills." Page 3 back. The sound show was done tastefully Winters used seyeral sounds on the sound system to assist him in his show. Hypnotism has many skeptics and Winters' performances are 'not magic' he said. He used to do clinical work and says,"] think hypnotism can help bring positive change to our lives and is a great way to improve OUT memory skills. I recommend doing it to college students before tests, too" Winters sells his CD's on hypnotism and other topics about bringing healthy change in people on E-bay 'at fredrickwinters. com at very competitive prices. Winters closed the show by reminding the audience that sometimes hypnotism works and sometimes it does not. He thinks it is a great thing and recommends it to those who are looking for positive changes in their lives and the ability to relax. Make sure to see him next time if you could not make it to the show. He is a definite crowd pleaser. Worldwide opportunities for students Hypnotist gives entertaining Rusty Harris show. Partic. ip.ants will know Reporter wha t they are doin. g and do not blackout. I cannot make anybody do anything." To begin, Winters had everyone put their hands together with only their index fingers, touching. After a moment or so, 1,like most, had difficulty pulling index fmgers apart! This was amazing. Furthermore, eighteen volunteers from the audience sat in chairs on the stage and were put into a trance as the stage lights were dimmed and some relaxing music was played. Then, participants on stage and those who tried it from the audience, including me, stared at a bright light that was brought on the stage for a moment and then shut our eyes while listening only to Winters' voice. Feeling relaxed and calm was easy Once under the trance, participants were asked to do some things including holding one of their arms in the air and then being told they had to move it in a certain manner. Most partici- Michele Torner Reporter Consuelo R. Clemens, International Programming Coordinator at the Center of International Studies (CIS), and Program Assistant Laurie Odegaard have a goal: they want to get the word out about the multiple opportunities that CIS has to offer both students and faculty Clemens' wish is for international education as a whole to become part of the mindset for all students. She saw Rusty Harris' article on foreign exchange students in the April 1-17 issue of The Ranger News as a perfect opportunity to follow up on what CIS is all about. Clemens sees the role of CIS as a connector, a bridge for other faculty members to get students involved. So far, the message that she gets from UWParkside is that the institution is very committed to international education. The university saw the importance of establishing a center and of ultimately hiring a full-time International Programming Coordinator- Clemens has been on board since January She recently spoke about the "three hats" CIS wears: the academic side of International Studies, the Study Abroad/Study Tour' Programs, and International Student Services. The International Studies degree program offers both a major and a minor as well as a certificate in Global Skills, providing opportunities for graduates in business, government, economics, and politics, to name a few. As the CIS Program Assistant, Odegaard wants students to know that they can call or stop by the center anytime with questions or concerns about international education. There are approximately 40 students currently enrolled in International Studies. CIS' Study Abroad/Study Tour component is composed of travel opportunities at three levels. UW-Parkside offers shortterm study tours to countries such as China and Ghana led by a faculty member who has expertise in the specific country There are long-term exchange programs available through the UW system and CIS can provide students with the appropriate information. CIS is also affiliated with other study abroad opportunities such as CEA (Cultural . Experience Abroad) and ICCE (International Council for Cultural Experience.) Funding opportunities are available to students through UW-Parkside's Financial Aid office to travel overseas. Since the spring of 2000, state funding has been available in the form of grants and awards to eligible students for travel/study abroad programs. Students can attend monthly information sessions or stop by CIA for information oil any of these programs. Clemens says that one of her goals as International Programming Coordinator for CIS is to break down the three myths regarding studying abroad: (1) no money, (2) no time within the education program, and (3) the fear factor, such as being alone in a different country. Clemens sees these myths as best challenged right away in freshmen orientations. While she admits that studying abroad is not for everyone, she feels that it is her job to help students, parents, and faculty make informed decisions. The third hat of CIS is the services offered to the inbound international students studying at UW-Parkside. Odegaard says that there are approximately sixty-five students currently enrolled. Most are here as transfer students, but several will attend 3-4 years for their bachelor or master degrees. CIS will begin providing services to make the transition for the student as comfortable as possible by interfacing the student within the academic program as well as within their local community CIS currently works with Adventures in life- Long Learning (A.L.L.), setting international students up with local families who can provide a contact person, airport transportation, and even an overnight stay in their home. Other ways in which CIS promotes awareness of international education is through cultural programs, such as the recent Evening fn Greece. In previous years, "Evening In" showcased a culture to include information about language, education, and entertainment from countries such as Brazil, Italy,and Pakistan. Lectures are presented focusing on a specific area, political figure,economic issue, or international crisis. The goal is to bring international issues to the forefront and share information about world events with students and the community.

I too remember my confused state of mind in my first day at Parkside, when I didn't know exactly what offices to go to, what people to talk to, and, most importantly, what classes to take right away,However, this sensation was nothing in cornparison with my feeling of thrill and anticipation of great educational opportunities and chances that were ahead of me. "I am finally in college! I am finally an adult' Now I can do and accomplish something that wasn't possible in high school and before, something that I have dreamt about all this time, something that will surprise even me," I am a Russian class facilitator here at Parkside. I am a student just like you, helping others to learn this beautiful and interesting language. Russian is my native language, and I am always happy to help others who express interest in it. Russian 101 starts this fall and is organized as a distance learning class. The instructor, Gwen Walker, is in UW-Stevens Point with another group of students from the class. Lectures are held as video conferencing sessions, and, in my opinion, this makes the whole experience even more interesting. I help students with homework, and provide immediate assistance with jiijii_'jii ......__ how to pronounce the new words correctly and how to make sense of grammar rules, etc. If studenls need extra help, I offer free tutoring after classes. You may be interested in Russian for various reasons. Some of you have always been fascinated by Russian culture, history and literature, some plan to work with Russian companies in the future, some have friends in Eastern Europe, and some may just want to impress their friends and relatives. Beside these reasons to study Russian, there is a really good practical one: taking Russian will fulfill your , Parkside Ian- g u age requirement, which says that every student needs at least two semesters of a foreign language to graduate. A lot of students tell me that if they had known before that Russian was offered at Parkside, they would have taken it. Due to some unfortunate cir- A lot of students tell me that if they had known before that Russian was offered at Parkside, they would have taken it. _I cumstances (the previous instructor, Pro Robert Price passed away last summer), th; program was under threat 01 termination.

I am really happy that Russian stayed at Parkside, because it helps to make this schoola true university - a place, where anyone can do something different. Anyone interested in taking this unique journey is welcome.

On April 11th, the Second Annual Undergraduate Conference in Literature, Media, and Film was held on our campus, proving a success for both participants and attendees. The brainchild of English Professors Dean Karpowicz and Jay McRoy, the goal of the conference is to bring together students of all majors and background. McRoy says,"Dean and I recognized that the student body at UW-Parkside consists of It isa testament to the enthusiasm and intelligence of Parkside students." some of Wisconsin's brightest and most creative minds, and we wanted to provide a forum where students could share their ideas, perspectives, and understandings of a wide variety of literary and filmic texts. Participating in conferences is a vital aspect of the educat ion a I process, and to have an undergraduate conference is very special. It is a testament to the enthusiasm and intelligence of Parkside students." McRoy adds that participating in an event such as this looks great on resumes and graduate school applications. According to McRoy, last year's Inaugural conference was a "resounding success" and this year's conference was McRoy _ .t equally successful. McRoy feels the highpoint of the conference was "being able to see and hear so many excellent papers." He sees it as a "testament to the caliber of students we have here at UW-Parkside," which is a quality that is "remarka b I e McRoy felt the same "rush" at the conference that he feels each time he leaves a classroom-a literal "buzz" from his students' insights and intellectual energy. This year's keynote speaker, Eric Hoffman from Northern Illinois University, is a close personal friend of McRoy's. McRoy thought Hoffman's keynote address,"Sub-Creation, Mediation, and Commercialization: The Lord of the Rings and •. McRoy feels the highpoint of the conference was "being able to see and hear so many excellent papers." the Art of Magic'was not only a timely topic, but a point of interest for many of the people attending the conference. All in all, Karpowicz and McRoy were "tremendously pleased" with this year's confere nee McRoy says t hat although this year's conference was about the same size as last year's, this year's event was "better attended." One notable difference compared to last year was that this year's conference was opened up to students from neighboring schools, bringing a couple of participants from UW-Milwaukee and UW-Whitewater. In years to come, Karpowicz and McRoy would like to see the conference get "larger and '===---"":r-r==T====~""",,,~~~ _ larger." They hope this increase will come not only from students and faculty at UW-Park· side, but from more participants from other Midwestern universities and colleges as well. Stu· dents from all academic disciplines are encouraged to participate, and anyone interested in reading in next year's conference can contact McRoy at mer a y @uwp.edu for more information, as he feels it is never too late to start preparing. Who knows, maybe in a few years time, UW-Parkside will have even more to boast of-that of being the host to the Midwestern Undergraduate Confer· ence in Literature, Film, and Media.

The idea, and the venue was effective in bringing people together, which made it seem worthwhile to do again, according to Freeman.

This was done because this student was killed in a tragic automobile accident. All 01 the proceeds from the game were given to start a scholarship fund in this student's name. It was very touching as the student's parents were in attendance and I immediately realized that this school, in some senses, is like a big family The atmosphere here at UW-Parkside Amber Smith Editor·in-Chief I have known since Septemberthat this issue, the last of the 2003 academic year, would also be the last in which I would be acting as the Editor-in-Chief. I have spent countless hours in front of my computer, on the telephone, editing articles and scrambling for something to fill the last two open columns in an otherwise completed edition; I have benefited. from every moment spent on this endeavor. An overwhelming fear of failure enveloped me as I walked into The Ranger News office on my first day in January 2002. f had no idea what I was doing or what to expect, but with the help of some exceptional individuals I learned that it was a task that I could complete. Deborah Hahm started as my Advertising Manager and became a person I will call friend for the remainder of my days. She is intelligent, caring and most importantly she is not afraid to tell me when Iam wrong. I also met good fortune the day that I met Professor Judy Logsdon. On a countless number of occasions I have called upon Professor Logsdon to share her immense wisdom. Not only has she been willing to do so in the matters of newspaper production, she has also shared her intelligence in the matters of life as well. She is a strong, loyal and courageous woman whose influence I will continue to carry with me long after my last issue of The Ranger News is completed. As I· prepare to lock the office door one more time behind me I am curious as to what new and terrifying places my life will take me. I never expected to be the Editor-in- Chief in a college newspaper and I am certain that whatever might come next will be equally surprising and can only hope that it will be as satisfying as my job here at UWP"s student newspaper The late jazz singer Nina Simone states it best, "Tis the morning of my life;' and I look forward to walking through the day into the evening. New editor makes his observations Rusty Harris After one semester here as a student at the University of Wisconsin Parkside, I have grown accustomed to living a rich academic and cultural lifestyle. I attended a technical college prior to attending UW-Parkside where there were less students, smaller class sizes, and smaller classrooms. I have found that by just walking from class to class here one burns a lot of calories! I was shocked when I went to my first class and saw over fifty students. Feeling overwhelmed by these new surroundings and new course work was difficult, but after a few weeks of school I felt a lot more at ease on campus. I took a class called university seminar and found that it really helped me become accustomed to university life. The seminar taught me the Do You Love Safely?

Page 8 May I, 2003 The Ranger News Taking a closer look at the Ste~ Lachlan McDonald Guest reporter The University of Wisconsin Parksides Physical Plant provides the heat and air conditioning to all the building on campus. The heat is supplied by high pressure steam while the airconditioning is provided by chilled water. Keeping the temperature comfortable in all the buildings the entire year is no easy task, but the university staff takes to the challenge gallantly. When a problem does arise it is taken care of efficiently and in a manner that is well thought out. arely is there a problem that !iS so large the university staff is unable to handle it, but on the occasions when such problems do arise the staff must depend on the assistance of outside contractors. Presently such a problem does exist. There is a steam leak between the Communication Arts building and the Sports and Activities building. The steam through out campus is kept at a constant pressure of l25psi. This ensures that there is enough heat to warm Sports and Activities Center needs hot water all year around and heating during the colder months The steam leaks are around this area. They are around 10 feet deep and surrounded by concrete Commonly used toot path for people traveling between Comm Arts and the SAC buildin Steam is constantly drifting towards the sky. Expansion joints for expansion and contraction. These are well below the ground the campus even on the coldest days. When there is a leak in a steampipe the pressure drops making the warming process inefficient. When there is a leak in an easily accessible area the university staff is quick to make the repairs. However, when - a; there is a leak in a confined space,such as the one between ti the SAC and Communication tl Arts buildings, it poses rE increased dangers and a need b' for more specialized machin- 31 ery. and specialized contractors b leak l Access areas for inspecting and working on equipment Heating and Cooling Plant.

Her teaches his students escape techniques, various fighting movements, and even .wall climbing. He presents scenarios to help students envision how his teachings might be useful. "Karate, Tai Kwan Do, and Kickboxing all have a similar style," according to Jill Clark, who is a student of Her's."Kung Fu is completely different:' All of Her's students recommend his Kung Fu class and plan on taking it as long as it is offered at UW-Parkside. With enough student interest, Her hopes to teach Kung Fu this summer. Students interested should stop in the intramurclasses. Peng Her started instructing intramural Kung Fu this semester, and his classes are more than helpful in learning self-defense techniques. They are action-packed and exciting. Kung Fu is a Chinese form of self-defense where fluid circular movements of the arms and legs are used to-attack an opponent. Her's students say that Kung Fu has been a great learning experience because his teaching is very hands-on and never boring. Some of his students take the class because they feel it will be useful in their careers after they graduate. Zachary Scott, for instance, plans to become a police officer. He said learning Kung Fu will without a doubt be helpful Her helps his students get ready to practice Kung Fu movements.
