DOMA would change the wording of the Wisconsin Constitution to define marriage as between one man and one April 29, 2005' ph.262.595.2287 Offensive on Defense First Comes Love, Then Comes nOMA BY SHERRY NELSEN Hot soup and heated discussion marked the final presentation of the Soup and Substance Series at UW- Parkside for the spring semester. President Dave Koss, along with other members of the UW-Parkside delegation, of neglecting their duties as outlined in tbe PSGA Constitution, including discrimination against Senator Joe Duncan "by attempting to limit his participation in United Council." Among its other allegations, the request also listed compromising UW-Parkside's reputation, perpetuating a pattern of misconduct while attending United Council functions, and misappropriation of student fees. "We want accountability," said Stacy Solberg, fonner secretary of Young Conservatives, who presented the complaint. "It's Holding PSGA Accountable Student Gov't Under Investigation woman and would not allow for civil unions, regardless of sexual orientation. The amendment states, "Only a marriage between one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in this state. A legal status identical or substantially similar to tbat of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized." The current wording of the Constitution allows for civil unions but makes homosexual marriage illegal. The Constitution states, "Under the laws of this state, marriage is a legal relationship between two equal persons, a husband and wife, who owe to each other mutual responsibility and support." The debate started by Appling explaining the necessity of marriage in society. She believes marriage provides society with stability and fonn. She <;!aimed that there bas been no evidence to show that homosexual marriage has ever been a nann in society. Appling said, "There is absolutely no research that shows that two women or two men bringing up children is necessary and good and appropriate for those children." Besides being detrimental to the upbringing of children, Appling believes that if the amendment isn't passed, the sanctity of marriage will be challenged. She cited cases of polygamy and incest as well as the marriage of minors in defense of her claim. Appling is concerned with the wording of the current constitution. She cited an instance where Rosie 0' Donnell called her female partner "her husband." [f the amendment passes, marriage will be limited to only one anatomic male and one anatomic female, not just anyone who claims to be husband and wife. Rep. Pocan defended his anti-DOMA viewpoints. He Story continued OIL page 6 BROWN MICHAEL BY PRESTON & NICHOLAS RAVNIKAR Filing a request for judicial review on April 22, the "Coalition of Fairness" accused PSGA members of breaching their duties and responsibilities by forgoing their voting rights at the most recent United Council General Assembly to instead attend a function sponsored by the Democratic party, among other allegations. The Coalition's complaint stated it was acting "on behalf of numerous clubs and organizations, and the student body as a whole." The docwnent filed by the Coalition accused Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) President Chris Semenas and Vice not a Democrat or Conservative thing. We want to make sure we're being represented." However, Semenas said he believes that the accusations were politically motivated. "That's how the game of politics goes," he said. Immediately after the complaint was submitted, PSGA Senate proxy Molly Meyer made a motion to suspend PSGA's judicial branch because two of the justices, Joe Bergeron and Chief Justice Doug Sawyer, are affiliated with the Young Conservatives and College Democrats respectively. "A senator doesn't have the authority to dismiss the justices," said Steve McLaughtin, the advisor for continued on page 4 NEWS Sports Dumbing Men's Hunger Down the Baseball Clean up School System PAGE 11 PAGE 10 The Ranger News April 29, 2005 2 Letter From The Editor Hello Parkside, For The Ranger News, this year has been about progress. Starting with II people back in August, we set out to establish the newspaper as credible and well-respected source of information. As weeks passed and new issues came out, we found ourselves experimenting with different techniques in writing, designing, and marketing - with the priority of learning. Throughout the year, we acquired a staff of more than 30 students, which has certainly proven to be the most cohesive and effective team I have ever been a part of. Beyond that, the information the newspaper supplies the community is no longer fluffy, superficial content, but real, relevant news with hard facts and feature articles that the community genuinely cares about. On April 21, The Ranger News was awarded Student Organization of the Year, and on behalf of our entire staff, we are more than honored to serve our campus. On a personal note, I was grateful to be nominated for the Distinguished Student Leader of the Year award and (almost embarrassingly) flattered that I received it. The reason I felt a bit embarrassed was that I think it is a prestigious award, and I feel any student could have done what I did this year; it would just be a matter of doing it. Anyway, here are some fundamental points of what I believe it takes to be a great leader on campus, or anywhere for that matter: I • Start as a human, who knows he or she is human. • Consider yourself a leader who leads your own life. • Find something you are passionate about doing, and do it. • Be creative about your passion, always develop and invite new ideas, and implement them. • Don't be eager to talk, be eager to listen. (Or at least act like it.) • Be more thankful for critiques than compliments. • Use critiques to your advantage. • Act professional and friendly, but be true to yourself and what you do. • Discipline yourself to accommodate what you establish as priorities. • Show up everyday, be available, involved, and accountable for the responsibilities you take up. There are many advantages of attending a small college like UW-Parkside. Students can get to know their professors on a personal level, become part of any organization on campus, and enrich their characters in more ways than a bachelor's degree alone can do. Rather than having the attitude of "there is nothing to do on campus," I encourage all students to ask, "What can we create? What can we do? What can we make this campus?" We are the student body. We can make ourselves what we want to be. He yD.
