BY SANDRA CORNELL EDITOR RANGER NEWS As Editor-In-Chief of the Ranger News, I would like to personally welcome everyone to the new Fall 2003 semester. As with the start of anything new, it's helpful to have an optimistic outlook on your goals.

Our new staff is chock-full of fresh ideas to help make the Ranger News both more appealing and a better informant to the students of UW-Parkside. In attempts to help give your beginning-of-the-semester optimism an extra boost that wilJ hopefully propel it into at least the second week of school, I've put together a list of a few tips that will at some point in the semester be of use to you. ■ Always "buddy up' with at least one person (preferably more than one) in your classes so they can catch the slack for you when you're "sick" and help you out with assignments.

If it is, remember that it's never as bad as it will be if you don't go back to class ASAP. Your professors aren't demons and will onJy say what you know you probably need to hear when you finally return to class from your mini-vacation. There's almost always a chance to at least get a passing grade. ■ A tip I wished I would have known when I came to Parkside was that you need your Ranger Card to print in the computer labs and that it's not just click print and go.

Chancellor Keating has an impressive list of academic accomplishments beginning with a BAin Classics/Philosophy and an MAin Philosophy from Gonzaga University. He also has an M.S. in Theology from the University of Santa Clara and a M.S. and a Ph.D, in Social' Psychology from Ohio State University. The Chancellor was a Professor of Psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle for twenty-two years. There, he served as dean for another four years and started two new campuses. From Seattle, Keating moved to Fairbanks, Alaska where he was Provost at the University of Alaska for four years. He was then approached for the position of Chancellor at UW-Parkside, which he said he had always known had a strong university system. Chancellor Keating says he has always felt very welcome at the university, and from the beginning, he and the staff have had a nice working relationship. "The biggest reason that I went to high school was to play baseball!" Upon his arrival, the Board of Regents had two mandates for the Chancellor. The first mandate was to increase enrollment at the university, and the second to build and improve local community relations with the campus. Enriching the campus community and the mandates are the Chancellor's top priorities. Although the state of Wisconsin has made cuts in the UW system's budget. Keating said, "This will make the university become even closer.' Keating stated, "My dominant goal is to build coalitions with the local community, and I feel there is a warm and growing relationship in place." The Chancellor intends to improve the relationship with the local community by following the UW-Parkside's mission statement and by continuing to serve the region. In addition, a strong cultural tie is nurtured between the community and UW-Parkside with programs like Arts: Alive, the Foreign Film Series, drama productions, athletic events, and Parkside's new fieldhouse, which has been extensively used for events like , the NCAA Fencing Championships andDivision II NCAA Wrestling Championships. The enrollment at UW-Parkside is expected to grow slightly this year, despite increases in tuition. The increase in tuition will partially offset the budget cuts, which are the largest cuts in thirty years. Keating said the budget cuts were a big surprise to him. "We are not the only state facing reductions. Some states have had cuts of twenty-five percent." Uw-Parkside has had to cut back Keating in some areas, but the Chancellor's message to students is to not be overwhelmed by the budget cuts. He expressed his concern saying, "The major cuts are at the administrative level, and everything possible is being done to save areas like science and business." It will be tougher getting things done through administration," stated Keating, "These are not the times of old when the state would pick up the cost. We need to be creative and rhink of different .ways to do things, and work together. " Despite the obsta des UWParkside will face in the future Keating expresses, "We are a campus of access. UW-Parkside will give all of its students a chance to succeed and our focus is on the quality of our graduates." The Chancellor also encourages students to join dubs and to attend lectures and athletic events because ft College is not just an academic experience, but a sodal one, too." He pointed out that students in high school tend to spend a majority of their time with peopIe like themselves, whereas in college students will have the chance to meet more diverse people. "Going to lectures and cultural events rounds out our students' education," said Keating, "Many of the dubs and organizations are connected to the majors offered by the college. Writing for the Ranger News is very connected to an aspiring writer's future goals." The Chancellor continued to say, "working for an organization is almost as important as your education because students have to gain social experience for.the future. Our students are very engaged and some cannot partidpate in activities because they have to work so hard on their degrees and to pay for their education. " As the interview came to a close, Chancellor Keating responded to one last tough question. "So, what is one thing that nobody at UW·Parkside knows about you?" With a grin, Keating replied, "The biggest reason that I went to high school was to play baseball I" .,.... ----, INVOLVEMENT FAIR Web-~b-"YI gept.10 10;30,,)11.-1 ;3ol:J)I1.

An increase of at least $250 per semester was approved this past summer after a $110 million systemwide cut. The new budget requires Parkside to eliminate 15 jobs within two years. . The good news is state statutes require finandal aid to increase as tuition increases and there are no plans for an - admission freeze or class reduction because of the budget situation. ,If yo~ ar~ thinking of applying for financial aid. it is a good idea to start early. the financial aid office will be very busy trying 10 keep up with the increase in applicants. -RNin the IOJ's IS-year history.

Once again, bigbudget flicks were released, each with its own well-oiled hype machine, and each a major disappointment, with one exception. In mid-May, the Wachowski brothers rebooted "The Matrix" generation with the release of The Matrix:Reloaded. This film may have been the most highly anticipated sequel in the history of dnerna. and although it was enjoyable, no film can deliver after such a build-up. Like most fans, was dazzled by the incredible flight sequences and special effects. While the visuals were impressive, it was as though the Wachowski brothers were jumping on their own "Now-Iook-atwhat- we-can-do-with-a-cameraand- computer." bandwagon. As for dialogue, Iwished I had a copy of the script when the plotrevealing dialogue became ... well, too plot-revealing. Overall, the film did not deliver as promised, but it was mildly entertaining. Early June brought 2 Fast 2 Furious, a sequel to the 2001 car show, The Fast and the Furious. With its tricked -out cars and impressive stunt driving, this latest installment was more of tbe same. This franchise has a number of evil MTV qualities to it, but none worse than its affect on our vehicular culture. Just between you and me, what is the longest you have gone without seeing a spoiler inappropriately projecting off the back end of a Geo? Not long, I reckon. June 27 saw the release of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. For the sake of brevity, this film can best be described as a twohour male fantasy program. Two thumbs up! Way, way up! A week later, the highly anticipated Terminator 3 hit theaters in Brendan Gleeson, Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris in Fox Searchlight's 28 Days Later, 2003 all its franchise poisoning glory. The movie reminded me a lot of the recent Guns & Roses revival. Sure, the old front man is back (and 1 do stress old), and sure, they have got classic material to work from, but as a whole the fJIm just screams, or rather, it wheezes, "Do something else Arnold. Try politics. " The dog days of summer film watching was not all bad, though. Enter 28 Days Later, my favorite summer film. Made for a meager 8 million dollars, 28 Days Later features some of the most eerie and suspenseful film making you will see this year. In a Twilight Zone-esque opening, Jim, Ihe bike courier, wakes up from' a coma in a deserted London hospital completely oblivious to the fact a highly contagious virus, which causes anyone infected to go into a homicidal rage, has essentially wiped out all humanity. A graphic, flesh-eating buffet ensues. Honorable mention goes to the films Hulk and X2. While neither film is perfect, both at least make a decent attempt at plot and dialogue rather than simply throwing kung fu at us. This summer's blockbusters are mostly mindless entertainment, but sometimes that is all you need to kill a good afternoon. It is difficult to say why these films are so bad, but audiences may have noticed nearly all of the aforementioned films are sequels, leaving the impression that Hollywood is out of original ideas. Yet, there is hope for all the lame blockbuster films of this summer and the past. Any Mystery Science Theater fan knows that bad films become great with a little commentary, and are, more often than not, much more fun to watch that way. -RNYOUR AD HERE!

BY EMILY WOOD ADVICE COLUMNIST RANGER NEWS Dear Emily, "I am a new student here at uw-Parkside. and 1 want to know what to do if! should get off to a poor academic start?" Signed,New & Nervous Dear New & Nervous: It is better that you have asked now instead of waiting until you really do need help. You could pay me to do your homework, but since you cannot afford me, you should talk to your academic advisor. Make sure he or she knows you are a 'newble. ~ so you can plan a course schedule that best fits you. Freshmen, transfer. and non-traditional students sometimes have a hard time adjusting to the rigorous academics of UW-Parkside. If you are having trouble in the classesyou are currently in, check out the Learning Assistance Center at Wyllie D175 or the Tutoring Center at Wyllie DI8D to see how they can assist you. Dear Emily, "I just started reading more lately, and I want to know if you can recommend any good books?" Signed, Loving that literature Dear Loving That Literature: You probably have enough books from your classes, right? First and foremost, those are the books that should be at the top of your reading list, but if you are still looking for something else, I would recommend asking your academic advisor if there is a "recommended reading" list for your major. These lists include fiction as well as nonfiction books, and reading them can really help you out in future courses or exams. You could also ask any of the professors in the English department what he or she would recommend. If all else fails, go with Toni Morrison; she ADVICE is a great writer whose worts you may soon be revisiting in future courses.

While the city of Racine has had cable television for over thirty years, public access to cable television has been nonexistent. Racine's cable service, TIme Warner, has produced local programming, which includes city parades and the highschool prom. Outside of Time Warner's limited programming, there is another world few people in Racine know about, full of unlimited programming ideas and public access to a cable channel, but there is much debate about whether this world will ever become a reality for Racine. Public access cable television is a television facility open to the public, in which, an average citizen may use equipment and produce his own television program free of charge, and then, view it on a cable channel. This concept is currently taking place in cities, towns. and villages around the state including Sun Prairie, West Allis, and Kenosha. Public access cable television could potentially provide an alternative to Milwaukee-based news programming by having news programming which is locally orientated. As the city of Milwaukee has grown, Milwaukee news programs have, delegated less on-air time to Racine area news. Racine residents are then forced to get local news from the radio or The Radne Journal Times. Programming on public access cable television could allow for an opportunity to "show-oft: Racine in its best light to prospective businesses and manufacturers. possibly bringing jobs to Racine. Those interested in the First Amendment, particularly the part about free speech, could use public access cable television as a means to voice their opinions. Around the country, it is common for citizens to use public access television to voice their politicai messages because the costs of advertising associated The Ran er News OPINION service and the city has built -in funding for public access television via the franchise lee tax. Racine has neglected to do this, but it seems the most viable way. ~ • Everyone in the state of Wisconsin is well aware of the state's budget woes. Racine's elected offidals are searching out new ways to pay for all the services the city provides without increasing taxes. Brown said, "The franchise fee has always gone into a general fund which supplies money for the general operation of the city. There has been a select group of people, a few aldermen and some others, who feel the city needs public access television, but ejected officials have not seen a public outcry for public access cable televiston.' Because there appears to be no public outcry for the service, the franchise fees collected have been diverted by the City Council to areas which appear to have more critical need. Mullen believes there is a problem with this scenario. She says, •Joe Johnson does not buy cable service so he is not paying the franchise fee. John • Smith does buy cable service so he is paying the franchise fee. If the franchise fee John Smith pays does not go towards public access cable service, but instead, the franchise fee is diverted to other dty services (as is the case now) because the City Council needs the money to go towards these services and doesn't want to raise taxes to do it, John Smith Racine awaits public access cable television. .. pays more towards city service vote.

Public access television could also be used to make public announcements or cover local events. Other public access television stations have citizens who have produced programming about cooking, local sports events, city tours, and children's programming. The Racine Cable Commission is an advocate for public access cable television in Racine. Serving in an advisory capacity to the mayor of Racine, Gary Becker, and the City Council, the Cable Commission's other purpose is to serve the public's best interest where public access cable television is concerned. The commfssion is an appointed body comprised of dtizens who think the time has come for public access cable television in the city of Racine. Alderman Michael Shields of the 3rd District, who chairs the Cable Commission, says, "I'm 300% in support of Racine having public access cable television. Racine is an "All American City" and needs to come out of the 1800's." According to Megan Mullen, a member of the Cable Commission and an Associate Professor in the Communication department at Uw-Parkslde, Racine residents would not have to pay extra for the privilege of having public access cable television because subscribers of cable television are already footing the bill .. Mullen says, "The Cable Commission believes the franchise fee tax collected by Time Warner is supposed to provide the funding for public access cable television. " The franchise fee is a local tax negotiated by the City Council, its lawyers. and Time Warner that is paid by cable subscribers. According to David Brown, the Interim Finance Director for the city of Racine, "In the year 2002, the city of Racine has collected $608,941.06 for franchise fees from Time Warner." Yet, until this year, there has been no funding provided for public access to the cable network. Alderman Shields explained why Racine had not given funds for this service, "In many places, the contract negotiated between the cable • Available in 6 great flavors: Berrv Blitz Berrv Banana Tropical Madness Colada Cooler Peach Passion Citrus Berrv Breeze Checkout the ReJUICEnation Station at the Wyllie Market open Mon-Thurs 7:45am-lOpm I Fri 7:45-2pm, 4-7pm I Sat-Sun 4-7pm Sponsored by Dining Service =11 'l'C1ianger ~I!e!w!!s----------~III". - Campus PoliceQ&A Beginningthe fall 2003semester, studentsandfaculty canaskthe UW-ParksidCeampusPolicedepartment questions concerning campus safety andserurity via the Ranger News.OfficerKelly Peroutkawill be answeringyour questions.Simply writedownyour questionand drop itoffattheRangerNewsofficelocated atWyllieHaILD137,duringbusiness hours or place your questions in the bin on the Ranger Ne'WS office door.TheRangerNewsis including this new feature with the Police Beat column, andcampuspoliceare hopefulthis featurewill improve UW-Parkside'scampus community, safety, and environment BY STEPHANIE HOLLAND PSYCHIC RANGER NEWS VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) People are trying to reach out to you.
