There's going to be additional meeting rooms, programming rooms, a larger serverylkitchen area, enrollment management center, integrated services center. The admissions will move over, Cashier's, OMSA, Registrar, Financial Aid, ect." The funds for the $25 million project will come from GPR (General Program Revenue), which is basicalIy state funding, and from student fees. Student fees generally pay for things such as Student Activities, student health and counseling center and student organizations among other things like the volunteer program. Each year. there is a student appropriation committee that makes decisions about how the money is distributed. Students pay tuition and student segregated fees, increasing $100 per student toward the expansion over the next four years; this year was the first year the increased fee was applied. "It will be a little bit of an inconvienence for staff and students while in the process of construction, because what was there before will be moving and in transition," said Possehl.

"We're renovating curreot facilities. The building is over 30 years old, and a lot of the infrastructure needs updating - such as electrical, plumbing, and that sort of thing." Wrapping Up Wang BY JASON GRIFFES last fall. The allegations were made in a letter sent to Wang on March 3, recommending his dismissal and stating that he could appeal to the Faculty Rights Committee. Wang appealed to the Committee and is set to have hearings on May 13 and May 20. According to Wang, the committee's job is two- fold. First, he said, they must decide jf he failed to perform his duties. Secondly, they must determine if the punishment is Growing up in Com- munist China, the oldest nf four boys whose father was taken to a labor camp, Profes- sor George (Xun) Wang has always had to be responsible.

Hats off to all the graduating seniors who have made it through the entire college expenence. It has been an extremely progressive year for The Ranger News, starting with II staff members and a readership of about 1,200 and ending with 33 staff members and a readership of more than 2,000. It was all capped off last month when we received the Student Organization of the Year Award. I Thanks to our entire staff, especially the graduating seniors, who (for the record) I need to thank in print: Tal Goldwater - Your nose for controversy and knowledge of the school's operations propelled the newspaper to a relevant and critical source of information. I'm glad you took on the position of news editor and stuck with it throughout the year. Your spirit will live on here at the paper. Sonya Gonzalez - Thank you for opening up my eyes to the business world. You had great ideas on how to make money and you were clutch in preparing our budget. And thanks for having the patience to deal with me. You will be missed. Nick Borns - When our sports department collapsed earlier in the semester, you took it upon yourself to pick it up, and as a result, our sports pages have never been better. You were great to have at meetings, and to have a person like you, who takes initiative in everything you touch, is the most a person in my position can ask for. To our returning staff and anyone interested in becoming a part of our team: know that we have our work cut out for us. Over the summer, we will be restructuring all aspects of the newspaper and creating a handbook to ensure an academic year that will be as successful as this was. Continuous improvement remains our priority. Next year, Parks ide students can expect a new issue weekly, with more designs and photos to compliment well-written and relevant articles. We also hope to have a web page that will be up and running by August. I have hired Nicholas Michael Ravnikar to be my co-editor, and together we can work effectively with our staff to make this the best newspaper the UW-Parkside community can possibly have. I'm looking forward to next year. To all community members who think The Ranger News has taken a step up from years past, I can confidently say: You ain't seen nothin' yet. Corrections In the April 29 issue of the Ranger News, an article entitled "Angel Turnout Less Than Heavenly," written by Tori Schuebel, misspelled the name Stephanie Voltez. The correct spelling is Stefanie Voeltz. The article also stated that Keith Harris was scenic design manager for Look Homeward Angel, but it was, in fact, Skelly Warren. Furthermore, the article stated that Jennifer Andacht played the role of "so and so;" however, her role was that of Florry. It should be duly noted that all article headlines are subject to review and revision by page editors of the respective sections in which they appear.
