Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) Senator Sherly Harum, an Indonesian student, is leading PSGA's efforts on campus. "It's part of my country. I'm from Indonesia," Harum said. "It's not only Indonesia that got the tsunami, but other countries too." PSGA will be brainstorming ways to fundraise throughout the semester, according to Harum. Their efforts will range from opening a booth in the main concourse of UW-Parkside to organizing a "skip a meal" day for donations to other more extensive ways of fundraising. "We're going to work with other student organizations," she said, explaining that PSGA will be spearheading the effort, but that other organizations will most likely be able to come up with more unique fundraising ideas. Monica Bissell, Ann Grissman, and Shahla Qasmi, resident advisors in Ranger Hall, have also come together to find ways to help the victims of the tsunami disaster. "We're doing a program, it's just called the Tsunami Fundraiser, and we will be collecting money," Qasmi said. "We're going to be going door to door in the residence hall, knocking on people's doors and asking them to contribute to the fund." "We have stars that people can put their names on," said Bissell, "and we're going to put them up in the atrium of Ranger Hall as a 'thank you' for donating, so they can be recognized." Each of the resident advisors had a different reason for volunteering to help the victims of the disaster. "It's probably the biggest disaster since 9/11," said Bissell. "And, you know, no one could help this one. It wasn't like it was dealing with war or terrorism or attacks. It was something that nobody could have seen coming." "1 thought Monica had a great idea," said Grissman, "so I asked if 1 could do it with her. I think it's something that could really help people. It's a good cause to help and I'm hoping it will benefit a lot of people." >• "I just feel really bad for them," Qasmi said. "So many people have died or lost their homes and family members. It's just something that's very important that I t hink we should do." "It's scary to think of the death tolls. I t hought the papers were lying at first when I s aw it. at .14,000," said Bissell. The death 'oil is currently at more than 115,000. "How can there ever be enough money to rebuild houses, pay for medical bills, pay for cleaning up—you can't put a price on that—for getting all those Dean of Students Steve McLaughlin dishes out sherbert at the Ice Cream Social on January 19. The Milwaukee Brewers' 2005 Winter Tour will make a stop at UW-Parkside January 24 for a luncheon in the Parkside Union. The luncheon runs from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p .m. Brewer's coaches and players past and present will take part in a 15-city tour throughout the state from January 24-27 to talk about the upcoming season. Tickets for the luncheon are $10. For information about the Brewers visit to UW-Parkside or to obtain tickets for the luncheon, please call Phil Anderson at 358-3272. News Improvements made to library.

All donations will be given to charities that work directly with the victims of the recent natural disaster. Donations will be collected throughout January 23 at the reception desk at Ranger Hall from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. people's lives back on track." The resident advisers have found a website that lists all the legitimate agencies that can get money to the victims of the disaster. They said they wanted to avoid problems that happened after 9/11 when some people tried to donate money to those victims but actually gave money to con artists who were taking advantage of people's generosity. "We just want to make sure it's going to a legitimate fund," said Bissell. "It's the biggest thing in the news right now. And, you know, as Americans, we have a bad rap of getting into other people's business, but in this case, it's like, if we can help out and show the rest of the world that we're not trying to butt in, we're just trying to help. I t hink it's a good way of getting into other people's business—helping out instead of barging in or whatever." With college students typically not having extra money to throw around, these student leaders are hoping good will and care for fellow humans will come through. "At our college campus, I know we don't all have a lot of money, but at the same time, 1 think we can all afford to donate a little bit and help out people who have nothing left anymore," said Qasmi. "Even a dollar would help," said Grissman. "You might not have much, but just a dollar is going to help somebody. A dollar from everybody is a lot of money." With PSGA and other student leaders coming out and working together, UW-Parkside's efforts to help the tsunami disaster victims is sure to last throughout the semester. "There's always going to be need—for a long time," said Bissell. "It's going to take a while." 2 The Ranger News January 21,2005 Letter From The Editor Hello Parkside, I'd like to personally welcome back all the students returning for another semester here at Southeastern Wisconsin's Institution of Opportunity. And for all those coming to Parkside for the first time, I hope you find your time spent here valuable. Spring 2005, a new year, a new semester, a fresh start for us all. Now is the time to start what you've always said you were going to do - make the most out of your time and experience in life. For most people, college is not forever. It's typically a four- or five-year stretch in your younger days where your job is not the most important priority. And I'll venture to say that academics are only half of the college experience. The rest involves trying new things and developing and understanding yourself as a person. You know, all that character building stuff. For whatever reason, there seems to be a lack of involvement in the UW-Parkside community. The people who really dig in and get all they can are the same ones every time, and there are not a lot of them. Fortunately, that means that there is room for YOU to get involved and grow and develop. I know it sounds corny, but that doesn't mean it's not true. You'll never know how much you can get out of it until you start to do it. I'll give you some quick examples of the kinds of things you can get with being involved on campus: Free office space • Your own business cards Recognition and popularity on campus Free room and board • Free meal plan • Free trips Not only a University of Wisconsin degree, but an extra-powerful resume It's worth your extra time to get involved in student organizations. Not only will it benefit your development at UW-Parkside (which, ultimately, is why you are here), but it will also benefit the UW-Parkside community you are a part of. Besides, you are paying for it anyway. You might as well get your money's worth. With all that said, I hope you have a chance to visit the Student Organization Fair this Wednesday (January 26). There are so many opportunities on this campus, you are sure to find something you enjoy being a part of. Take advantage of it. It's your future. Henry D.

New Improvements in the Library BY SCOTT BANASZ1NSKI An attractive addition is being built in library and it will include: faculty lounge, teaching and learning center and student study rooms. Barbara Baruth, the director of Library and Instructional Technology Support states that, "the latest library limbs, located on level two, are all wholly welcomed." Also the former faculty lounge, replaced by the digital arts studio, a serious staff sacrifice for student sake, had yet to receive supplant space, selling staff short of a room to meet in. This new lounge, accordingly, is to include a colossal "conference table, ideal for large meetings," says Baruth. The lounge is also to include a couch ideal for resting. continued on page 4 Workers build the new faculty lounge on the second floor of the library during Winter Break.

Coupling these quarters hopes to promote a powerful "synergy" between the two boasts Baruth. The study rooms, though separate from the lounge and learning center, are equally as salient. Scarcely scattered, student study rooms are often under-used or unknown; these two new rooms roomed with two existing student study sanctuaries aim to amend this trouble. Rooms 265 and 267 once used by small clubs and as awkward office space are soon to be great group study spaces. The rooms are to include "circular tables suited for four or five," says Baruth, "and an arm chair," perfect for comfortable reading. Baruth hopes the new study rooms will attract students' attention to the existing rooms and increase student use of said rooms. If a student has any interest in reserving a group student study room, he/she can contact the library at (262) 595-2238. As for the artistic aspects of the aforementioned addition, John Desch, UW-Parkside's campus planner, was hired on to assure the aesthetics adhere to that of the rest of the building in seemingly seamless style. The new addition is a much-needed novelty and should be ready for use within the year. Student Organization Profile: Parkside Activities Board BY AMBER TAYLOR The mission statement for Parkside Activities Board (PAB) is, "For the students, by the students." Chamika Ellis, president of PAB, said "we cater to the diverse needs of the school by planning events that meet those needs." PAB holds specialized events, which include Talent Night Tuesdays (TNT). This event is held once a month and consist of open mic and a featured local artist. "This is a way for students to display their talent and relax at the same time," Ellis said. Coffee Houses include bigger acts that come front the National Association for Campus Activities (NACA). A new event that PAB held this past semester was the Haunted Tunnels, which was co-sponsored with Residence Hall Association and Parkside Association of Wargamers. The organization also held their annual Backyard Bash at the beginning of the semester to welcome everyone to UW-Parkside. The PAB board members include Stephanie Sirovatka- Marshall (advisor), Chamika Ellis (president), Jimmy Bishop (vice president), Amy Rogers (music coordinator), and Kristy Rad spinner (special events/novelties coordinator). These members coordinate and run the events PAB sponsors. "Membership has been down, but we do get a huge number of volunteers to assist us whenever we have an event, so that's a plus," Ellis stated. PAB's upcoming events include their annual Casino Night (January 20), Talent Night Tuesdays (TNT), and an R&B artist, Chinuwa Hawk, is planning to perform on February 16). Kristy Radspinner, PAB's Special Events/Novelties Coordinator, says, "The PAB organization is looking to recruit Comedy and Lecture Series Coordinators." The Parkside Activities Board does not hold general meetings due to the type of organization. If anyone is interested in joining PAB, you can contact the organization by emailing them at pab@uwp.edu, call 595-2650, or stop by their office (right around the corner from the RangerCard Office. "Our door is always open, so please feel free to stop by. We LOVE company," Ellis said. Student Lif Oemester Co»9ta a Gary Dreyer Set Lip/Technical Service Assistant for the Student (.enter PSGA BEAT A New Semester BY TORI SCHUEBEL In preparation for this semester, Spring 2005, the Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) has been planning a strong plan of action aimed at several important goals. Over the winter breqk the president of PGSA, Chris Semenas, attended a National Board Meeting in Los Angeles, Calif., for the United States of America Student Association. There, Semenas and-others discussed plans about lobbying for an upcoming National Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C. This Conference is being held March 18-22. Semenas said, "Any student can come to D.C. to go to this conference. All they'll need to do is fill out an application and serve three to four hours per week tabling." This means after an application is processed students interested will help by advertising at the tables around campus. Semenas also mentioned that for more information students can call 595-2036. PGSA has been monitoring the state budget in Madison, in regards to how high the increase could be in our future tuition. They are lobbying for the possibility of keeping the tuition increase to a reasonable amount of 4.3 percent, instead of the 12 percent it had increased last year. The Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee is determining other types of tuition that go to services on campus, for example, student organizations. This committee consists of seven students from the campus senate, and two appointed/elected individuals. On other matters of finances the Student Senate has passed a resolution on lowering book rental. The committee in charge of this agenda is three students selected by the chancellor, three students selected by the Student Senate, and three faculty members. An opportunity for all students to get involved with what's happening on campus was set up for February. Legislators will be coming in and students can ask about any school related issues they want answered. This meeting encompasses the main focus of PGSA for spring of 2005, which is, as stated by Semenas, "to get students involved in what's going on with these issues, and how they affect them." In other agendas, which are on the planning table for PGSA, are ideas for a human rights week focusing on minorities. Advertise with The Ranger lews The best way to get seen on campus Contact: Avi Grewal @ uwp_ads@yahoo.com January 21, 2005 The Ranger News OPEN DIALOGUE bY TAL GOLDWATER The Ranger News holds an open dialogue with various administration officials in each issue. For this issuie, the following questions were asked to UW-Parkside police chied Mike Marzion. What Kind of power do the police have? Marzion answered, "We are fully sworn with full arrest authority. We have the exact same statutory power as any other municipal police department. The only difference is that our jurisdiction is limited to UW college campuses. Our jurisdiction is from Highway E to Highway A and from Highway 31 to Wood Road." Do students living on campus have the right not to open the door for police? Marzion then went on to answer that, "they have a right t o not open their dorm room door, however the same right does not extend to resident advisors." He said that "resident advisor have a different authority then police." Former residence hall director Felicia Esters said, "residence advisors have the power to come in student rooms because the students signed a contracting granting that power." If students want to read the policy students can go to residents life web site http://reslife.uwp. edu/handbook/ and it states, "room entry is authorized to personal who have authorization to enter students rooms or apartments for reasons of health, safety, general welfare, maintenance or policy violations. As a general rule, occupied premises will not be entered with out the permission of the students or a search warrant." For further questions students can speak to residence life. Why is i t a state offense when students get a ticket on UW-Parkside grounds? Marzion then stated, "to have it not be a state offense UW-Parkside would have to have it's own court, but as of now UW-Parkside in calibration with Kenosha uses their court system and their judges. In order to change that UWParkside would need it's own judge and then it would be a code violation." He said, "almost no university has that, What some universities have is a student court." Marzion finished up the question by saying, " UW-Parkside gets no money from the ticket and that it all goes to Kenosha County Court system and the state of Wisconsin" Can a student park in a meter? Marzion said, "the fourth question can be answered by saying that students can never park in a metered spot." He said how there has been a third reduction in the amount of tickets written this year. He finally said that, "if any student or faculty member wants to get a hold of him they can go to the campus safety web site http://www.uwp. edu/departments/university.police/ and e-mail him any , questions or concerns. His door is always open ." : • ~vRNcemwgse r University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Student Newspaper NEW DONT DRIVE 10 TOWN TO RENT! / Do you have any questions or comments regarding the news section of The Ranger News?

All Rights Reserved. What's News In Business and Finance Dollar's Weakness Cause for Concern Up to a point, a falling currency is a blessing. After that, it's a curse. The dollar has fallen 16% against a basket of its trading partners' currencies over the past three years. In theory, that should, with time, make U.S.-made goods more competitive with foreign goods. But a growing chorus warns that the U.S.'s gaping budget and trade deficits will lead to a crisis in which the dollar falls much more sharply, driving up interest rates and squeezing the economy. Over the past decade, a dozen smaller economies from Mexico to Thailand have gone from growth to deep recession when their currencies collapsed. Even rich countries like Canada have been forced to adopt austere budget policies to cope with currency-induced turmoil. "We are increasingly vulnerable to the kind of sudden stop, where the capital inflows dry up all at once, that's been the bane of emerging markets over the years," says Barry Eichengreen, an economic historian at the University of California at Berkeley. It hasn't happened here yet. In a crisis, foreign investors dump stocks and bonds, fearing depreciation will cause further losses. Yet U.S. Treasury bond prices, and thus long-term interest rates that move in the opposite direction, have changed little in the last year-and stocks are higher. A review of past crises world-wide suggests the U.S. has enough going for it now to avoid a similar fate. Yet the magnitude of the imbalances hanging over the dollar is without precedent, suggesting a crisis is possible. Electronic Arts, ESPN Team Up Electronic Arts Inc., in a forceful move to' protect its sports videogame business, cut a 15-year deal with ESPN to publish games under the sports channel's brand name and using its content; The deal gives EA, the No. 1 maker of game software, exclusive rights to publish ESPN videogames beginning in 2006 for personal computers, consoles and mobile phones across sports categories. People familiar with the agreement said it calls for EA to pay ESPN a minimum of $850 mill ion in cash and advertising commitments. EA plans to use ESPN sportscasters and other assets, but Good Sport Electronic Arts is the biggest publisher of videogames, including sports titles. $1.4 billion 1 Net revenue sit • 1 1 * I I I §§i® 3§m ass; 1 1 1 1 1 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q 2Q 14 2005 Note; Electronic Arts's figures are for fiscal years ending March 31 Source: the companies also plans to continue titles with sports personalities such as commentator John Madden and golfer Tiger Woods. Sports is a key category in the game business, accounting for more than $1 billion of $5.8 billion in total U.S. console game sales for 2003, and more than a quarter of Electronic Arts' revenue. Take-Two Interactive Software Inc. last year co-published games under the ESPN name with Sega Corp. Take-Two priced most of its ESPN games aggressively at $20 each, sparking a price battle that resulted in Electronic Arts steeply dropping prices on its sports games. New Sites Allow Gift-Card Trading A new cottage industry has emerged: Web sites that let people trade unwanted gift cards either for cash, or for another retailer's gift card. Some services, such as cardavenue. com, run eBay-like auctions: You list your card and a price at which an auction for it should start. Cardavenue.com also lets users trade cards with one another, as does swapagift.com. In addition, Swapagift buys some popular cards outright (for a discount of 30% be low the card's face value). Meanwhile, certificateswap.com lets sellers name their own fixed price. Then there's eBay itself, which on Monday afternoon had no fewer than 7,720 "gift-certificate" listings of auctions or sales. (A few coupons slip into this category, too.) In recent days, the specialist sites together had several hundred more cards for sale. The upshot: With the holidays now over, January is turning into the season for bottom-fishers to sniff around for discount cards online. Typically they sell for a discount off the face value ranging from 5% to 20%.

Because of the tight production schedule, the reference had to go in the episode Ms. McTavish was wrapping up. "The timing couldn't have been worse," Ms. McTavish says. "Her husband just got shot. She's devasT tated. And she's supposed to think about perfume at a time like this?" After a tense meeting, commerce trumped craft: Ms. McTavish retooled the script so Greenlee, a cosmetics executive played by Rebecca Budig, briefly put grieving on hold in order to chat about the scent with a hospital visitor. "It wasn't the best for the story," says the 55-year-old Ms. McTavish with a sigh, "but you do what you can." Greenlee: When Ryan comes to, he's gonna want to know about work. Simone: The first thing he'll ask for is you. Then a double cheese- Wal-Mart's new perfume also plays a role on the "All My Children" Web site burger with fries. Eventually, he'll think about the office. All right. There's a tiny little glitch in some perfume bottle tops. Greenlee: Not the Enchantment supiature fragrance. Simone: Don't worry. I've got it handled. Enchantment Perf ume will hit the stores as planned. Product placement has been around for years, but now the practice is growing rapidly in daytime television. Butterball turkeys, Nascar shirts and Kleenex tissue have all taken recent star turns. Not only do the characters on "All My Children" smell good, but they also have been swilling a lot of Florida orange juice-and not because they're thirsty. Networks are pursuing more product placements in daytime programming in most cases to offset sharply lower ratings. Many soaps, in decline for years, are now hemorrhaging ratings. Marquee shows such as "General Hospital" saw 10% drops in 2004 alone, according to Nielsen Media Research. But despite the falloff in audience, they are still cash cows. ABC, NBC and CBS, the three networks that program soaps, generated about $2 billion in daytime ad revenue last year.

DOWJQtlES TJJE WALL street journal E Apple Sues 19-Year-Old Blogger Apple Computer Inc. decided recently to crack down on a mysterious mastermind behind a Web s ite that has gained fame among Maclovers- and notoriety among company executives-for revealing details abou t Apple products before they are launched. But it tu rns out the target of a n ipple la wsuit isn't some industry veteran or d isgruntled former employee. Ins tead, it is a 19-year-old Harvard Univ ersity freshman and Apple enthusiast known to most of his fans simply as "Nick dePlume." Nicholas Ciarelli started what became ThinkSecret.com at age 13 as an online hangout for fellow enthusiasts of Apple's Macintosh computers. It has since turned into one of the most influential Web sites abo ut the company, drawing analysts, reporters and industry watchers eager to read about Apple's next move. Piper Jaffray analyst Munster says Think Secret's early report of a sub-$500 Mac spurred him to put out a research note on the speculation two days later. Think Secret's report was confirmed when Apple announced such a guesses Gene Nicholas M. Ciarelli computer last week. He said he was "shocked" to learn Mr. Ciarelli's age. "I kind of thought it was a 55- year-old guy who had been around the Mac world for the last 20 years," he said. Apple purported not to know who was behind the site when it filed suit Jan. 4 in Santa Clara, Calif., against Think Secret and its unnamed tipsters, claiming that the postings contain trade secrets. But Apple clearly suspected Mr. Ciarelli, since it had sent him a cease-and-desist letter in November. Last week, the Crimson, Harvard's student newspaper, offered a confirmation: In a story about the suit, the paper reported that "Nick dePlume" was in fact Mr. Ciarelli, of Cazenovia, N.Y., an editor at the newspaper. "I didn't do anything wrong," he says. "My reporting practices are the same that any journalists use. I talk to sources, I confirm details." Mr. Ciarelli says the site, which has ads, is profitable enough to help him pay for his Harvard tuition. By Wall Street Journal staff reporters Vauhini Vara and Nick Wingfield. Soaps Learn New Twists Continued from Previous Page away plug s to sweeten advertising deals. ABC, for one, doubled the number of product placements in its soaps last year. "You have to work harder to get your clients to spend money," says Brian Frons, president of ABC Daytime. Soap operas, a carry-over from radio that started on TV a half-century ago as platforms to sell detergent, are also serving as guinea pigs for networks to test how far they can go with product plugs before viewers revolt. Soap audiences are notoriously obsessive about their favorite programs, so feedback is swift to arrive. "Fans get very upset if they feel we're taking seconds away from the characters," says Jerry Daniello, ABC's director of integrated marketing and promotions. Because advertisers are increasingly insistent that characters discuss their products-a jug of Tide sitting in the background no longer does the trick-the work of implementing these deals falls to beleaguered staff writers. Striking the proper balance is tricky: Items must be embedded naturally enough so they don't raise the ire of marketing-sawy viewers, yet overtly enough to satisfy clients. And, as in the case of the Wal-Mart perfume, over-the-top soap-opera storylines can be an awkward fit. "Let's say a character is tied to the railroad tracks," says Ms. Mc- Tavish. "I can't just have him sit up and drink a Lipton Iced Tea." Writers also must deal with companies that have their own ideas about manipulating scripts. When ConAgra Foods and CBS agreed to incorporate Butterball turkeys into Thanksgiving plot lines on "As the World Turns" the meat processor thought it would be nice to have one of the program's most popular characters help serve up the birds. There was a small problem with that plan, however: She was eloping at the time. Ms. McTavish says she would never agree to give an advertiser veto rights over her words. Even so, networks go out of t heir way to ensure that there are no surprises. Writers and producers often spend hours on the phone with advertisers to learn the nitty-gritty about product- marketing plans, and some shows give advertisers plot outlines. What's News- In Business and Finance <*> o Continued from Previous Page 'Tsunami' Brands Consider Change Enterprises around the world are weighing whether to change brand names that include the word tsunami. Tbyota Motor Corp., for one, has trimmed the word from its 2005 Celica Tsunami Special-Edition in Canada. A restaurant called Tsunami at the JW Marriott Bangkok hotel, meanwhile, will stick with its name, as will a Tsunami carpet-cleaning product, which was put on the market just two weeks ago. Brand names based on words from other natural disasters don't elicit the same soul-searching, says Jim Neal, a brand strategist at the retail consulting firm, Kurt Salmon Associates; consider the Carolina Hurricanes hockey team or Chevrolet's Avalanche truck. Such disasters are more common, desensitizing the public's collective consciousness, Mr. Neal says. By contrast, the word tsunami is now almost universally associated with the horror of the Dec. 26 events in South Asia and Africa. Actor Seeks Change In Film Distribution Actor Morgan Freeman and his movie company, Revelations Entertainment, have teamed up with Intel Corp. to try to push Hollywood into broader distribution for movies-directly to homes. The companies have set up a home in Santa Monica, Calif., to o demonstrate to industry executives how movies could be piped directly to TV sets, possibly bypassing theaters altogether. Intel hopes to sell more high-end chips that go in the entertainment computers and portable players that facilitate digital home distribution. Revelations and Intel say that many piracy-fearing Hollywood executives don't realize online distribution is far more secure than DVD technology. "If we don't do it, we're going to wind up like the music industry," Mr. Freeman says, alluding to the growing problem with illegal movie downloading. Record companies blame online piracy with causing years of declining sales, which only recently have started to pick up. Odds & Ends Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Chairman and Chief Executive Scott A. Livengood retired amid a tangle of accounting problems, an investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and declining sales of its famous glazed doughnuts. Turnaround expert Stephen F.

I hear many students complaining about grammar, punctuation, and even content in The Ranger News.. .But 1 don't see them doing anything about it! Students (and faculty) should feel free to write and or e-mail the page editors and editor with questions and comments pertinent to stories, drop off pen-marked copies of the paper for feedback, or stop in for a Monday meeting at noon and join the staff! -A Delightfully Stressed Page Editor Names In the Police Beats. What's the big deal with having names included in the Police Beat portion of the news section? If students don't want to be known as social delinquents, they should either not do the crime or lobby the proper local/state or federal officials to change the laws. Besides, maybe it will bring a more personal aspect to campus "crime," and PSGA will begin to consider t , value of an independent judicial counsel to prosecute campus crime. --What ever happened to the first amendment? No names in the Police beats. Police beats should be kept confidential. Even though it's public record, the Ranger News should respect a student's right to privacy. Most of the offenses are just speeding or drinking tickets anywayor maybe some students were caught smoking grass-but there's no reason that everybody has to know about it. —It's my crime & I'll tell you if I want to.

What ever happened to the sexual revolution? It's hard enough to keep up with schoolwork, let alone deal with people's hang-ups by weeding through the undesirable masses. Make the information age work for you! Less people will get hurt that way. —Single bi white boy Revitalizing the Pell grant. I'm skeptical about George W. Bush's plans to "revitalize" the Pell grant. It sounds nice to up the funding, but the administration also wants to change the guidelines to lessen funding for "Liberal" educations, which they've said only serve to indoctrinate students into bureaucracies. Does the White House actually believe that industry specialization is any less indoctrinatory? —Think outside the box To the Administrators: Why is it that whenever students hold "speak outs," "open forums" and other events, where students express their concerns about malfunctions within the university, none of the administration officials who could address our issues bother to show up? The students have been snubbed by administrators numerous times. For one: the Unity March of Spring '04, (led by BSU in response to the racial slur vandalized on a promotional window) in which the chancellor did not show up and the recent Fall's forum on institutional racism "Making the Invisible Visible" where students expressed their disheartenments again with the school's lack of concern for diversity amongst mainly fellow students, since head administrators obviously thought it beneath them to attend. -Fed Up With Hypocrisy uestion of the Issue How can student organizations attract more students.

Dear Tori, I am a sophomore at Parkside and I j ust started a great new relationship; but I am having problems managing my time. What's the best way to manage time with classes, work and a new relationship? -In a Bind Dear In a Bind, New relationships are fun and very consuming, therefore my advice would be this: Keep going to all your classes, and allot study time, then stay on track with work. The relationship, although very important, has time to grow, and spending too much time in the beginning isn't the healthiest decision. Id say take two of the seven, days per week to hang with the new flame; you guys can even study together. Also if you can maybe lose one day of work to have some more free time. -Hope it Helps, Tori Dear Tori. What types of social activities are there on campus to meet other students? -New Faces Dear New Faces, There are many dijferentways to meet new people at Parkside. A couple ways are joining the clubs and organizations on campus like the Art Club that meets Wednesdays at 11 AM; you don't have to be an art studei — they just like the help and company. If you need ajol the Tutor Center is a great place to meet new people, study, get help, or work. Other ideas could be to join an intramural sports team on campus. You can get sign up sheets on the wall in the staircase outside the cafeteria in Molinaro Hall. Many organizations set up tables in the walkway to the cafeteria and Main Place. If you visit them they can giv you information on joining. Otherwise you can always see what there is to do and see at UW-Parkside by goin[ onto www.uwp.edu and looking under the calendar schedule.

Or drop offletters at the Rangers Newspaper Office in Wylie Hall, January 21, 2005 The Ranger News EDITORIAL The Money Game BY PRESTON BROWN "Where does my tuition go?" is one of the most frequently asked questions I hear around campus from concerned students who wonder if their bucks are being spent wisely. Fortunately UW- ?n04 WCZZTJT" '"b reC°rdS are °Pen '° ,h° Public' So 1 decided ^ doser iook at the 2004 2005 budget to see how our money is being spent UW-Parkside was budgeted for about $57.5 million dollars for the 2004-2005 school year About 28 percent ot that comes from tuition fees, which are nearly a three percent' increase from the year before and a five percent increase from the 2002- 2003 budget. This is because the money that the state gives toward public education is gradually declining due to our strained economy. In order to maintain the quality level of education, some moves needed to be made by our administration to ensure that we could compete as an academic institution that met the demands of its diverse community. Still, even with an increase in tuition and a few less professors, this campus is growing daily in more ways than one. As far as the almighty dollar goes, here is the break down of your moolah: The undergraduate in state fee for a year is about $4,000. This figure is based around a full-time student who is taking between 12 and 18 credits per semester. What it cost the university is approximately $8,836 per student per year. Instructional costs, which are basically paying our professors, is averaged at $4,501 per student and the non-instructional cost (everything else) is about $4,335. So it's easy to see that students aren't even paying the total price it cost to pay the professors for the classes they take. In the end, we pay about 45 percent of what it costs to educate us. State appropriations still cover about 41 percent of our total budget and federal grants and contracts pay about ten percent. So in the end when all is said and done, students get a great deal from a state that loves students. Although tuition costs do tend to rise, so does everything else, including the value of the dollar itself. Hopefully this can put your mind at ease and give you a chance to focus on what's important, studying.

The Rangers were 0-3 this season against Division I competition, but won this game 79-73. Gareth Malkowski, a junior guard who hales from Oak Creek, Wis., scored 33-points and hit a UIC Pavilion record breaking eight three-pointers! The Rangers connected on four three-pointers on their first five attempts. The Rangers shot 50 percent on the night (14-28) from downtown and 47.5 percent (28-59) from the field. Malkowski scored 14 straight points, which helped UW-Parkside tie the game in the second half with 8:51 left. Kyle Clark, a freshman guard from Kenosha, connected on a three-pointer to put the Rangers ahead for good. UW-Parkside played good defense as well, limiting UIC star Cedrick Banks to just 6-18 shooting. This victory certainly showed the direction the young Ranger team is heading in. In an article published in the November 6-19 issue of The Ranger News, Coach Reigel said, "We're trying to build excitement so that the people who see us play in Madison or Loyola come out and see us seven or eight times during the season. We want to develop our own tradition, become a championship program, and develop diehard fans at games on a regular basis." Hopefully, this impressive win is enough to get more students out to the gymnasium to cheer on this upcoming team. Admission is free for all students showing their student identification card.

BY RUSSELL HARRIS On January 2, the UW-Parkside Men's Basketball Team played host to the Northland College Lumberjacks in a non-conference game in the DeSimone Gymnasium. With 16:20 left in the first half, UW-Parkside led 9-0 and never looked back. The Rangers won by a wide margin, 97-41. It was the first time that the two teams have ever played against each other. The Rangers controlled the tempo from beginning to end. Chuck Weslowski, a junior forward, added an exclamation point with a colossal dunk with 12:51 left in the first half. With 9:31 to go in the first half, the Rangers were ahead, 30-5. The Rangers played with intensity and did the little things like chasing balls " down that were headed out of bounds. The defense was very impressive as Northland players had a lot of trouble getting open looks at the basket. UW-Parkside did not allow too many uncontested shots. At halftime, the Rangers led 55-12. Five players finished in double figures for the Rangers. Kevin Boutelle, a junior center, led the Rangers in scoring with 15 points and had eight rebounds. He was 7-10 from the field. Kyle Clark, Steve Maday, and Brad Preston each contributed 12 points, while Josh SkatrudTiad 10. Northland had a moderate size advantage coming in, but the Rangers outrebounded them, 48-23. There was a good-sized crowd on hand to see the Rangers run a balanced offense that was exciting to watch and an attacking defense which confused the Lumberjacks. The Rangers started playing Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) opponents January 6 and will continue to for the remainder of the season. Test Your Sports I.Q.

We want to develop our own tradition, become a championship caliber program, and develop diehard fans at games on a regular basis." Luke Reigel Head Coach, Men's Basketball Team UW-Parkside Nov. 6-19,2004, The Ranger News Why is it important to have better student attendance at athletic events anyway? Well, that is obvious. Students create atmosphere. After attending a men's basketball game at Carthage College in Kenosha, Wis., it became clear that this was a campus where the students had more in common than what subjects they studied in class. It was loud, obnoxious, and difficult to find a seat! Every time the Redmen scored a basket the gymnasium seemed to explode and the stands shook as the students stomped on them. It had to be exciting for the student-athletes, too. After leaving the game that night, one knew that he or she had experienced Carthage basketball. College athletics is a one of a kind experience, unlike the NBA or NFL where fans might get mooned, end up fighting with, or given another obscene gesture by a superstar athlete at a game. These student-athletes work hard and the action is fast paced. By the way, there is free admission to all UW-Parkside sporting events! Good luck in school and remember, it is not a crime to take even more of an active role in your college experience. Sports are not just played at UW-Parkside because the players enjoy playing or for financial retribution. They can be observed and enjoyed. Try and find some time this season to get to a men or women's basketball game or baseball or softball game starting this spring. The men and women's basketball teams will be hosting some exciting Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) action on January 20, 22, and February 10, 12. There are also some wrestling events coming up soon at UW-Parkside. On February 9, the UW-Oshkosh competition will be taking place, and on February 27 the Midwest Regional will be held.

January 21,2005 The Ranger News Lady Rangers Update Continued. Sammy Kromm, a 5-10 senior center scored 16-points and snared seven rebounds. Jen Briar, a 5-10 senior forward, grabbed seven rebounds. UW-Parkside Drown Riverwomen On January 13, the UW-Parkside Women's Basketball Team played at the DeSimone Gymnasium in a Great Lakes Valley Conference match up against the Missouri-St. Louis Riverwomen. UW-Parkside won the opening tip off and Mackenzie Heise, a freshman guard, ran down court and converted a lay up. That was the story of the night as the Lady Rangers went on a 13-2 run in the first 5:25 of the game. UWParkside led 43-19 at the half and would lead by as much as 29-points Linda Glick, a sophomore guard, scored 17-points as did Sammy Kromm, a senior center. Carrie Weir, a senior guard/forward, scored 11-points. The Lady Rangers shot about 50 percent from the floor for the game. Lady Rangers Steal Show in Victory On January 15, 2005, the Lady Rangers hosted Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) opponent, the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles,at the DeSimone Gymnasium. UW-Parkside played tight and aggressive defense and had 16 steals on the night. Kim Murphy, a freshman guard, had four ot those takeaways and scored 16-points on a sizzling 7-11 shooting as UW-Parkside won handily, 71-44. Sammy Kromm, a senior center, and Linda Glick, a sophomore guard, each had 14-points for the Lady Rangers. Jen Briar, a senior forward, had five steals. UW-Parkside applied some halfcourt pressure that led to 25 turnovers by the Screaming Eagles. The Lady Rangers now have a difficult task on hand as they play their next two games on the road at Bellarmine (Jan. 20) and at Northern Kentucky (Jan.22). They lost their last two road games on January 6,h and 8"1 and now they need to find a way to prove that they can win away from home. Rangers Update Continued. Deacon, a freshman guard, scored 17-points and Gareth Malkowski, a jun ior guard added 16 for the Rangers. The Rangers had a couple of opportunities late in the contest to score to narrow the gap, but Deacon uncharacteristically missed two free throws and a three-point attempt.

POETRY CORNER "Her name was Julia..." BY NICOLE MARKS Her name was Julia, and I always called her that. Never Julie or Jewel - those names seemed to ordinary for her. And ordinary she was not. We spent our days in the field behind her house. Carrying on within the confines of a world we built for ourselves- a world that existed only to us. The sun was familiar. It would warm our faces as we lifted our chins and rose up to meet it. Donning those perpetual smiles that never quite seemed to fade. Dandelion seeds danced in the crisp, watermelon air and littered the ground. And the wind carried our laughter on for miles. She was intriguing. She insisted that unicorns were not fictitious. She loved yellow, and the sound the lid on ajar of apple preserves made as it was being opened. I don't know how she could hear it from that far away, but she always did. We used to crouch underneath her kitchen window, waiting for her mother to call us in. Then we'd count to ten and storm into the house. Sitting at the table, taking turns shooting each other knowing smiles pretending as if we had never been waiting at all. She told stories of pirates, dolls that came to life, and, of course, unicorns. Her crystalline eyes would sparkle as her imagination wrapped itself around us. And she captivated me every time. She let everything affect her. She bled for the world. She said she wouldn't rest until she had somehow made it better, or at least changed it a little bit. We stayed in our makeshift Utopia for as long as we could - perhaps even long after. It never rained, there was never a cloud in the sky - not that we saw anyway, and it was perfect. 1 spent those last days by her bedside. I t old myself that she would just get better, and everything would be perfect again. It had to be. Everyday, 1 walked up that Maplewood staircase to her room. Everyday, I hoped that she would hiding in the closet, poised and ready to jump out and burst into song, or some such thing. 1 lo ved how she was predictably unpredictable. I used to go home, and dream that that we were playing the way we used to. I would wake up and wish that today it wasn't just a dream, but it always was. As I looked into the same eyes that used to keep me spellbound, could hear our laughter. She said she could too. It occurred to me that the world we willed into existence every summer afternoon, had changed us. Neither one of us would ever be the same. I knew it and she knew it. It was beautiful She was beautiful. We had made so many plans to change the world. But we decided that the world that was changing us was good enough. And that's how I r emember it. Kiss to my pooka BYTYRAN SAFFOLD JR. I kiss you because Next to 2 virgins makin Love It's the purest form of intimacy The way our lips touch let's me know how much you into me And like puzzle pieces It feels perfect when out tongues connect My lips put you at yo climax without havin sex And 1 Hold you close to me to let you know I don't want you to leave Cuz I c an kiss you all night and our lips fit together perfectly Like DNA strands Our kisses equal makin love in the sand With our bodies movin to the beat of the ocean At twilight And the moon makin the sweat on our bodies glisten like diamonds When our lips meet It feels like long lost twins have been reunited But it's just a kiss It's just a kiss It's just... the softness I feel when I touch your lips It's the...gentleness I use to hold yo head closer to mine It's the.. .way our souls touch when I close my eyes It's.... just a kiss But it's not... just a kiss It's not....just....a kiss FOREIGN FILM SERIES: THE CUCKOO Jan. 27-30 in Union Cinema Free Wednesday and Sunday 5 p.m. to UWP students with student ID.

She also gave a rousing speech at the UW-Parkside's winter commencement last month, which highlighted gender equity and the struggle for educational justice. The Ranger News had the opportunity to chat with Akindes over Winterim. The Ranger News: Hi, Fay. Where are you "from?" Fay Yokomizo Akindes: I am from eating boiled crabs at a newspaper-lined table minutes after trapping them in nets. I am from lu'aus that celebrate life and its turning points (one-year birthday, high school graduation, marriage, anniversary, etc.) with, it seems, every family on the island. I am from sleeping at night to the sound of incoming tides. Likes: "The view from my Parkside office window: deer gracefully The Ranger News: Why the leap from working in Media to the University? appearing out of the wood to graze in the prairie." Pet Peeves: Cell phones in the classroom Fay Yokomizo Akindes: I g rew disillusioned with the institutional politics of my last media job, the university-licensed public radio station in San Diego. Grad school allowed me to spend hours reading what I was personally interested in and to reinvent my identity. It was a selfish indulgence. Now that I'm a professor and again working in a university setting, it sometimes feels like deja vu. The Ranger News: How would you describe your experiences working in the media (KPBSFM, KGMB-TV, KHET)? What struggles did you encounter & how do these shape the way that you approach education? Fay Yokomizo Akindes: All three stations were fundamentally different from each other: university-licensed NPR alfiliate, a corporate/commercial CBS-TV affiliate, a State-licensed PBS station. All three experiences demanded that I be c reative on command and work with a wide range of people, some quirky, some with tremendous egos (news anchors, for example). Media work was the ideal preparation for the multi-faceted demands of being a professor, of balancing teaching, research, and service work, and working with a wide range of people, some quirky and some with tremendous egos. My approach to education is affirmed in this ancient Hawaiian proverb: A 'ohe pau ka ike i ka halau ho1okahi. - All knowledge is not housed in one school. In other words, there are multiple sources of knowing and multiple ways of teaching and learning. Often when I t each, I think of George Constanza (,Seinfeld) and I "do the opposite" of what I experienced as an undergraduate. When organizing my class sessions, I'm informed by how TV programs are constructed. For example, 1 include "commercial breaks" or interludes to keep students' attention. Media has taught me well. The Ranger News: Alice Chang's recent article in The Journal Times quoted you describing your undergrad studies as "alienating, impersonal and irrelevant to [your] life." What was it about your experience in the media industry, grad/ doctoral studies, or personal-political life that they didn't apply to? Fay Yokomizo Akindes: Actually Alice writes for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Racine office. Moving from a small, poor, rural island to an international metropolitan university contributed to my experiences as an undergraduate. I w as a first-generation college student working my way through school on minimum-wage part-time jobs. My home language was Pidgin English or Hawaiian Creole. My high school tracked students for the military, vocational school, or motherhood. I was ill prepared for university work. Many of my undergraduate classes consisted of hundreds of students in an auditorium, and the professor, usually a haole (white) male from the "mainland," reading his notes at the lectern. Grades were typically exam-based: multiple-choice, fill in the blank, short essay exams with fixed, absolute answers. Recently 1 realized that during my five years as an undergraduate student at the University of Hawaii-Manoa, not once did I v isit a professor in his/her office. As a first-generation college student with no support system, I h ad no sense of the culture of college. I d idn't know professors were accessible to me outside of the class session. More likely, I f elt intimidated speaking Pidgin English to the professors. It wasn't until grad school that I realized my undergraduate experience was alienating. I didn't have the language or critical insight to articulate my experience while it was happening. Much of what 1 lea rned during my undergraduate studies happened outside of the classroom. I was a rock groupie. I learned to speak Standard English hanging out with haole and hapahoole musicians. This prepared me for media work, especially the CBS-TV affiliate where many of my co-workers were haole or locals who had attended Punahou, the private college-prep academy in Honolulu. It was also a maledominated industry. I cr ossed multiple borders of gender, race, & social class when I started working at KGMB-TV. r',e Ranger News: Do you think that the above mentioned alienation or impersonality is, to a certain degree, just part of the character of undergrad studies? Fay Yokomizo Akindes: Perhaps. Undergraduate studies are a challenge when you're dealing with identity conflicts, money issues, and hormones. In my case, I was a college student in Hawaii on the heels oi the Sixties. Imagine the temporal and spatial context. It was a dangerous time to be young! The Ranger News: Final question(s): What advice would you give to undergrad students who Hant lo make the most out of this experience? What, from your perspective, ls l'le biggest obstacle facing us (undergrads) today? Fav Yokomizo Akindes: The biggest obstacle facing many students today is multi-tasking and the myth that it's Possible to do it all and to do it all right now: full-time school, full-time job. marriage, new house, new car, et cetera. % advice is to do a few things and do them well. Resist hyper consumption and question, question, question. UW-PARKSIDE CELEBRATES MLK DAY Helping the dream come true BYTJ SAFFOLD Today, the UW-Parkside teamed up with the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, better known to UWParkside students as OMSA, to celebrate the life of one of history's greatest leaders, Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. By now, everyone should have a firm grasp of who Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was. If you don't, there will be a seat in the communication arts theater at 7 p.m. just for you. The organization of this celebration began last June as staff members sent out papers and letters to schools, churches, and community centers in the Kenosha/Racine area for people to participate in essay contests and community service. Students from various schools who participated in the essay contests wrote on themes like "Who is Dr Martin Luther King Jr.?" "What Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. means to me," and "How we can live the dream in our community." During the program, the winners of each essay contest will be presented with their award and be allowed to read their essay to the audience. The community service award will also be given to the person who the community thought did the best in carrying out Dr. King's dream. "We need to recognize people in the community and the efforts they put out for Dr. King's dream," said Bridgette Johnson, the coordinator of the event. Along with the presentation of the various awards, there will be music, dancing, and poetry to help fill out this exciting evening. As we all should know, Dr. King coined a phrase with his most acclaimed "I have a dream" speech, which he performed in 1963 in Washington, D.C. His dream was that people of all colors would be able to co-exist peacefully with no hatred or racism. Although we, as people, are far from completing his dream, there are people like UW-Parkside's very own Bridgette Johnson, who for the past six years has coordinated the program, fully dedicated to bringing Dr. King's dream closer to reality. "The dream that Dr. King had was not just for [African-Americans], it was for the entire community. And we need to move forward together as a community," says Johnson. In a world where hate crimes still appear, there are people still trying to press through and create unity among each other. "If we don't continue to reflect on him [Dr. King] as a man, a minister, and a civil rights activist, then we will never move forward," Johnson said. "We have to do that in order for all people to progress." LANGUAGE This is the first in aseries that will try to give some basic phrases in different languages.

Eager art enthusiasts paruse the 18th Annual Parkside National Small Print Exhibition. BY PRESTON BROWN January 16, 2005 marked the opening date of the 18th Parkside National Small Print exhibition, held in the communications art gallery. This exhibit, which features artists from 42 states as well as the district of Columbia will be the largest of its kind ever held on campus. Exhibition director and UW Parkside professor Doug DeVinny said that if the preliminary numbers from the leception were any indication, this year is going to be a success. The lour major processes used in printmaking are lithography, relief, intaglio and silkscreen. While the maximum height, width, or depth of any given piece cannot exceed 18 inches for an entry, there was no shortage of submissions for this prestigious national competition. Out of the 946 prints submitted by 341 artists only 133"prints by 116 artists were selected for the show. , we re gaining one of the best national reputations," said DeVinny, citing the magnificent wall of images as one the best he has ever seen. Local Wisconsin artists, including alumni Amy Sorensen and Joshua Brennan, created about eight percent of the art on display. ° ' Brennan entered three pieces, two of which were accepted in the show. His style ranges from pieces to pieces which encompasses the feeling you get from the overall aesthetic of the show. " 1 try t o be a pluralist in everything that I do, 1 like to work in all ism's not just one." Brennan explained. Karen Kunc, Professor at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, was the juror who selected the art for the show Kunc .s known nationally for her more abstract style, which is reflected in many of the pieces chosen this year ,nm, 1, r8ajUr°r !°r thlS,Sh0W' DeVinny said he tried to "find a juror with a good national reputation, someone who makes prints themselves and someone who will appeal to the community."

Dean Yohnk, director and associate professor of theatre arts came onstage to thank the audience of The Fifth of July benefit performance for their patronage. The UW-Parkside's Main Theatre was not filled to its maximum capacity of 67 people. In fact, if you tried to buy a ticket for the benefit performance you would have found seating limited to a narrow portion of center stage seats in the ' '* oni—iTiosi rows. That narrow margin for ticket sales had little effect on the cast and crew. They have raised the necessary $ 15,000 to fund their trip to the Kennedy Center American College Theater festival XXXVII. Benefit performance "...patrons, S.T.A.G.E. club members le dean, and the provost" Yohnk says, were generous enough to foot the bill, sending production members to the competition. b The cast and crew appreciate donors' generosity. However, one patron cannot be thanked. Yohnk announced before curtain rise that there was a single donor who students°USly C°ntribUted $5-°°°'° SUpport ,he efforts of the competition-bound The only thing I can tell you is that it came from the Racine Foundation " Professor Yohnk replied when asked about the shadowy contributor. Mysterious as the benefactor is, he or she was willing to pay for one third of the cost to send these young actors and stagehands to the KCACTF XXXVII. ' In his final announcement, Yohnk said simply, "The east and crew would like to dedicate [January 8] performance to all U.S. soldiers at home and abroad - Though delivered with little fanfare, the dedication had far-reaching implications a, the main r f t f T r ^ f M y 3 w o u n d e d V i e t n a m W a r v e t e r a n .
