The idea of getting organiza- tions to work together turned into what is now known as Project Campus Connection or PC(2). PC(2) was created in order to get more students actively in- volved with the organizations on campus as well as to open a new avenue in which two or more or- ganizations can get together to co-sponsor events and help all organizations that are involved. WIPZ Station Manager Andy Scheeler is one of the individuals that has been instrumental in the genesis of this idee by opening up the airwaves every Thursday afternoon between 3:30 and 5:00 p.rn. for the Student Organization Roundtable. The roundtable is a chance for all organizations, regardless of size, to get on the air and pro- mole their events and to give peo- ple who ordinarily do not com- municate much with each other a chance to network with other people. "For the organizations that have been participating, it's been going pretty good," said Scheeler. '1 wish more would take part in it, because it's a great avenue for networking with other organiza- tions. It's for the betterment of all organizations if we work to- gether." The on-air discussion acts as a way to open up lines of dia- logue amongst organizations and to come up with ideas to coordi- nate events with each other. as well as to engender more synergy between all of UW-Parkside's or- ganizations. Afterward, every Thursday night from 7 p.m. to II p.rn., these new ideas can be further made public via WIPZ's new Thursday night programming. This new weekly event has been dubbed WIPZ Underground. "It's just fun. It's more ca- sual you can sit and talk, and lis- ten to music." said Scheeler. "It's a more casual atmosphere to net- work.

Make a Difference Day, in- novated by USA Weekend Maga- zine, takes place annually on the fourth Saturday of October.

This year. nearly 300 volun- teers recruited by Uw-Purkside's Volunteer Center served at vari- ous non-profit organizations in the communities of Racine and Kenosha. "I believe it's more blessed to give than to receive when you've been given so much:' said Harrison ldanu, a 2005 graduate of UW-Parkside. Some of the places students volunteered at included Lincoln Lutheran. The Racine Zoo, Tech Corps, Bong State Park. The Shalom Center, and Homeward Bound.

November 2 The Ranger News November 1, 200s Mission Statement The Ranger News strives to inform, educate and engage the UW P k id ' b bli hl ' - ar Sl e community y pu IS '"g well-written, accurate student journalism on a weekly basis, Leller From The Editor More than halfway through the semester, most students have their priorities mapped out, whether they include studying, working, partying or sleeping. Here at The Ranger News, priorities for the rest of the semester are as follows: Finalize the entire weekly production process • Continue enriching our staff's educational experience with our Wednesday workshops Hiring a new editor-in-chief to train during the spring Finishing the semester as strong as we started, if not stronger As I've said many times, creating a periodical is inherently an uphill battle. It doesn't matter how good the newspaper gets, we always have to aim to improve. If we don't constantly strive to be better, we will begin to lose our grip on being a well-produced, well-read and well- respected paper. With that in mind, and in all honesty, it is getting harder to continue the improvement trend. It seems the mountain we are climbing is turning more into plateau, and changes that will improve the newspaper are getting more intricate and time-consuming, not to mention harder on our staff. At an editorial meeting last week, we had a discussion on whether our staff wanted to continue our trend of improvement or stay where we are now. The further improvement option would call for a greater time-commitment by everyone, but also guarantee the most solid possible newspaper by the end of next semester. The option to stay how we are now would quickly allow us to get into a rhythm where we could focus on things outside the newspaper, although we would still be producing a quality student-run publication for the UW-Parkside community. This is not to say there are only two options, because The Ranger News could always go back to the days when we printed everything we received and filled the newspaper mostly with fluff articles. But as readers from allover campus have expressed to me, that isn't what the community wants. . No matter how difficult it gets, my co-editor and I are all about the continuous improvement, but after a discussion between the two of us before the aforementioned editorial meeting took place, we wondered if maybe we were just insane - our lives rotating around nurturing The Ranger News and the UW-Parkside community, We decided we would bring the question to our staff, because if, as leaders, we are doing something that our group doesn't necessarily want then we need to step back and rethink our goals and priorities, So we brought up the option to our editorial staff, making the point that not everyone is an A-plus student, but we are aiming to publish an A-plus newspaper, and if anyone felt more comfortable with liS backing off, then we wanted to know. With overwhelming support from our staff, the answer was clear: we are going to continue striving for improvement by -developing and implementing ideas that will ultimately bring The Ranger News to where we hope it can be - a contender for a national college newspaper award. Given the size of our campus and the lack of an accredited journalism program here, it's obvious we are reaching for the sky, But where else would' we want to reach? The real hope is to feel like we have done the best we could have by the end of the year, and if every week we are able to make the slightest improvement, whether it deals with content issues, layout structure. orthe production process in general, then we will have.accomplished our goal. We're still always open to suggestions. anda sincere thanks goes out to everyone who has helped us out with suggestions so far. Our staff is doing well, and I only anticipate great things for the newspaper. Thanks for reading, Henry D, Gaskins Editor-in-Chief THE RANGER NEWS STAFF Editor·in-Chlef Henry O.
