PAGl7 Sigma Delegates Yet to File Report Students Petition for Wang BY NlCHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNlKAR AND RYAN KAMPHUIS As of Sunday night, delegates to last month's United Council general assembly in Marrionette bad not yet turned in their required reports to the appr~priale campus offices, Last spring, the PSGA judicial branch, in the case of the Coalition of Fairness v. Koss and Sernenas, decided that students who attend any event with expenses paid for by the PSGA segregated fees account must submit a written report on the experiences and knowledge gained while attending. According to the decision. the reports have specific guidelines for format and length and must be turned in within five class days following the event. Each delegate's report must be kept with the'PSGA office, UW-Parkside library, Student Activities and The Ranger News. The judicial decision also stated that failure to submit a report results in. "an indefinite suspension of travel privileges paid by the PSGA segregated fee account until a report meeting the...criteria is submitted." The Ranger News published the judicial decision in the May 13, 2005 issue. BY CHRlSTlNAFANNING Continuing to support Professor George Wang, select students have responded to the appeal made to the Board of Regents by organizing letters of petition in Wang's favor. "Not helping Dr. Wang would be 'denying the reason why I took up both sociology and criminal justice. [ see someone in need and I help," stated student Joseph Duncan in a letter to the Board of Regents regarding why helping Professor Wang is important to him. In addition to letters, supporters have been circulating petitions. The first of which was started on March 25 by Duncan and revised about three weeks ago. Already having nearly a few hundred signatures from students, faculty and staff of the UW- Parkside community, organizers are hoping to gain more by familiarizing people with websites and through articles on hand. "It was very easy to find supporters for a professor that is well-liked and continues to score higher on his teacher evaluations than his peers in his deparlment," stated Duncan in an e-mail. "Everyone wants to do what they can to make sure this teacher remains here and to address the issues ignored by administration ...

Dear Ranger News Staff; I realized as I was reading this last issue, (1) that 1 had heen waiting for this issue to see if, and how, you would follow up with a previous story, and "(2)that you had, and (3) that you inserted a "sic" most appropriately in another story, and (4) that I had several stories to read and reflect on, and (5) that The Ranger News has become a very impressive newspaper. Kudos! -Rehecca Ferguson, Ph.D. Adult Student Advisor Hey Henry- You handed me The Ranger News as I walked through UW-P yesterday. I had just read last week's issue thus initially rejected it until I noted a different front page and yon said it is now weekly -- I am delighted! No more old issues just sitting around! Weekly ensnres it will be more in tune, relevant, timely, and will enhance both student and faculty readership and inputs. If the 9.13.05 issue reflects yonr go-forward plan of action, kudos tu you and your staff. This is 'must read' stuff. Keeping students and faculty up-to-date on all things relevant will ensure an enriched UW-P experience -- thanks to The Ranger News! -Peg Fisher First and foremost, thank you both for the positive feedback. It helps us to know our fellow community members are appreciating our efforts. It used to be difficult to get anything but harsh criticism. Back in Fall 2003, there were about three or four staff members making sure the newspaper was published. After one issue in particular (September 26,2003), we were all moping about the office because we only received severe criticism, and it made us all question our involvement with The Ranger News. That was rock bottom for the newspaper, and we slowly, issue by issue, climbed out of the hole. . I was talking with my co-editor Saturday night. and we carne to the conclusion that last year The Ranger News was dedicated to proving its value and credibility to the UW-Parkside community. We even flaunted our pride a little bit. This year, we have no such pretensions and are trying to make it the tightest newspaper possible. This means that every issue needs crisp design, no "fluff' articles, and thorough copyediting. We still have some things to clear up, but we have indeed come a long way, and we certainly are proud. The weekly schedule helps. A biweekly newspaper needs to be formatted more like a magazine, with longer lasting stories and less time-sensitive information. Here is the distinction I draw: a magazine (or biweekly newspaper) is more of a novelty publication, and a newspaper (especially daily or weekly) is more of a necessary publication. At this point in the semester, we've put out five issues. Last year. our fifth issue didn't come out until November. If we are going to continue growing issue by issue, then the weekly schedule is going to help us improve faster. Our primary goal this year is not only to have the UW-Parkside community respect us, but to be proud of us as well. We're going to be entering several national college newspaper contests throughout ?4 the year, and with our staff working hard and maintaining the direction it's going, ~ Q ._ we hope to bring home a commendable award. _ Again, thank you both for taking time to encourage us. We need all types of feedback, from encouraging to suggestive and critical. We appreciate any feedback our readers give us. Henry D.
