PffiA Determined to Change Definition of Intoxicated BY SHERRY NELSEN Following United Council's lead, PSGA is supporting legislation that would add alcohol to the definition of "intoxicant' in sexual assault cases. The current law specifically excludes alcohol from the definition. However, controlled substances or analogs of controlled substances mixed with alcohol are included in the definition. Wisconsin is the only state to exclude alcohol in the definition of intoxicants in sexual assault cases. Mike Marzion, chief of police at UW-Parkside was surprised at the exclusion. "In all other aspects of the law, alcohol is considered an intoxicant," said Marzion. While the motives of excluding alcohol in the definition are unclear, Marzian and PSGA's women's issues director, Zara Dittman, seemed to think that the alcohol industry was most likely behind the reasouing. Dittman said, "This really gets alcohol off the hook." According to Marzian, alcohol is the most widely used drug on college campuses. Dittman also mentioned the prevalence of alcohol on college campuses as a reason to support legislation that would consider alcohol an intoxicant. According to OW·Parkside Police Department statistics, there were two reponed cases of sexual assault on campus between 2002 and 2004. Dillman explained that, even though numbers of sexual assaults seemed low, she thinks many cases go unreported. "[The law] sends a message to women that if you're drunk and you're sexually assaulted, you're liable," said Dittman. If alcohol were included in the definition, it would be classified as an enhancer. An enhancer increases the severity of a charge. According to Marzian, if a person is sexually assaulted under the influence of an intoxicant that makes him or her incapable of making a conscious decision, itraises the degree of crime from a third degree to a second. With support from United Council, PSGA is hoping to find a sponsor for the legislature and pursue support for the change by grass-roots campaigning. BY RYAN KAMPHillS A Wisconsin state assembly bill may allow students, faculty and visitors to UW-Parkside to carry concealed weapons on campus. Assembly Bill 763 would allow legal carry of concealed weapons such as handguns, stun guns, tear gas guns, knives and billy clubs to individuals who are approved both on the state and federal levels. Should the bill pass, individuals would have to apply for a license with the state Department of Justice. The. bill, as written, would permit a person to be armed with a concealed weapon in his or her own home, place of business, or on land owned, leased, or legally occupied by that person. Exemptions to these allowances of concealed weapons include airports, taverns, athletic events and schools for kindergarten through 12th grade. .' One noticeable olDlsston to the exemptions is colleges and universities. If this bill passes and becomes a state law, many new concerns and sihlations would need to be addressed at college campuses across the stale of Wisconsin. Parkside police Chief Michael Manion said, "I don't really know how that would affect the security on this campus directly. I know that it would obviously introduce more guns on campus than we have now. conceivably make every call we go to bave an involvement of having more than one gun there besides the officer's." Manion also said about current practices regarding the potential of weapons on campus. "We're not oblivious to [the possibility of people carrying weapons]," said Manion. "But the presumption is that people do things generally lawfully, and See PACKIN' HEAT page 4. "The only people that legally or legitimately have guns on this campus right now are the police, and nobody else," said Manion. "That bill would allow people to carry a concealed weapon on campus, which could Departments' ''Strict Diet" Light on lAdjuncts BY HIlNRY D.

M s.ADJUNCT pqe 4. • , 2 The Ranger News November 22, 2005 Letter From The Editor' In the past couple weeks, a few readers have asked me why my editorial is always about the newspaper. I would love to write rants and raves about miscellaneous aspects of Earth and society, and I probably do that a bit in some of my letters, but the focus of the "Letter from the Editor" is to give readers an inside look at what is happening at The Ranger News. After all, a written work needs to have some focus, right? . The newspaper is an educational project for students, and all fulltime students pay for The Ranger News. Because of this, I feel like it is extremely relevant to provide weekly updates on the status of all aspects of the newspaper. On that note, readers beware: no issue will come out next Tuesday. However much I would like to Scrooge the news staff into working on Thanksgiving weekend, I suppose it will be more beneficial for them to take a week off and recuperate after working tirelessly seven days a week for the past 12 weeks. Hell, maybe a short break will bring some sanity back to me as well. At any rate, a brief rest will be good so we can finish the semester strong. Our next issue will come out on December 6. After that, we only have one more issue for this semester. Despite taking this weekend off and, in doing so, not creating a new "Good Copy" for next week, we have successfully made the transition to a weekly newspaper, and we are close to saying we've done it for a whole semester. fn other newspaper news, we will be accepting applications for the 2006-2007 editor-in-chief position through November 28, which is this Monday. The position is open to all students, and if anyone is even remotely interested, I encourage them to apply. The selected applicant will shadow my co-editor and me throughout the spring semester, learning all parts of the newspaper and eventually hiring a staff to work with next fall. As I have noted numerous times, it is an experience like no other. Any position at the newspaper can be extremely valuable. Our news editor, Ryan Kamphuis, was recently hired for an internship with the New York Knicks. He will be working in the marketing department with the Knicks, doing a lot of the same things he is doing with The Ranger News. He said his work on the newspaper made the biggest impression on his new employers, and he has only been with us for about six months. It just goes to show that the opportunities here at UW-Parkside can and do open up future opportunities. With Kamphuis in New York and Opinion Page Editor Sherry Nelsen and Executive Reporter Nick Honeck graduating next month, we are going to need more students to dig in and help us out next semester. Again, anyone who is interested should ?4 definitely give it a shot - no experience necessary. Applications can be found at our 1f; /07 headquarters, Wyllie D139C. ~t!. - In the mean time, we will have more news for the community 10 two weeks. Thanks for the break, Parkside. And more especially, thanks for reading. Henry D. Gaskins Editor-in-Chief THE RANGER NEWS STAFF Editor-in-Chief Henry D.
