If an agreement by both sides could DOt be reached soon, governorJim Doyle threatened toclose all the schools within theUW-System, including UW-Parkside, for the upcoming UW-System survives budget crisis spring semester. However, on Tuesday, October 23, Governor Doyle approved a state budget proposal. Of the 52 Assembly Republicans, only 23 voted in favor of the budget; however, all 18 of the Senate democrats voted to pass the budget. The bipartisan vote passed the bndget by a margin of 60 to 39 by republicans and a 18 to 15 vote by democrats in the Senate. The budget for the state over the next two years is set at $57.2 billion. There is going to be more than $525 million for public schools, as well as $21 million for every university in the UW-system for financial aid and grants for students. With the state budget passing, there are many implications, but one of the most pressing issues for students is how financial aid will be affected. Financial aid will be disbursed next week to students. There are more than 5,700 students who are on the waiting list for a Wisconsin Higher Education Grant (WHEO). The WHEG awards can be worth as much as $2,700 for this school year per student. The budget will raise funding for WHEG by $26 million over the next two years. Additionally, the Wisconsin Covenant was created as a result of the state budget passing. The Wisconsin Covenant guarantees financial assistance to students across the state who graduate from high school and have good grades. BadgerCare, which gives low-cost health insurance to low-income families across the state. has also been expanded to allow all kids who live in Wisconsin to be covered by insurance regardless of their family's financial situation. and lets people who live in low- income households to purchase BadgerCare for the first time ever. The new budget places limits on the increases on property taxes that the counties, villages. towns, and cities can levy for the next two years. Furthermore, there are $200 million being cut from various state agencies through 2009. The State Medical Society of Wisconsin vowed to file a lawsuit against the transfer of $200 million from the state's fund for paying claims of malpractice. Doyle said that the transfer is perfectly legal. The law states that state governments can operate at levels at which it has in the past until a new budget agreement could be reached; however. Doyle claimed that a shut down of all UW-universities might have had to occur in order to assure that only essential services within the state were set aside. The logic behind the threat of the governor. in his mind, was that because it was entirely possible for the UW-System to go bankrupt in the middle of the upcoming semester. it would be irresponsible to have the universities in session during the spring. continued on page 5 AMessage of Equality and Hope Judy Shepard speaks on campus "Thisis not a gay thing, this is a hate thing."

JUdyShepard is tbe mother of Matthew Shepard, a young man Whowas robbed, beaten, and leftto die on fence in Laramie. Wyoming in 1998; he was targeted specifically because he was guy, Shepard now speaks out azainst hate crimes and to prom~te equality. Aside fro~ the individuals present, Shepard s appearance also drew the attention of the Kenosha News, the Racine Journal Times, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, as well as live coverage from Milwaukee's TV station WTMJ- 4. Shepard's appearance on campus was made possible through the contributions of . many different groups IOclu~g Student Health and Counseling Services, Student Activities. Parkside Student Government Association, Rainbow Alliance, and the Sociology and Theatre Arts Departments. All proceeds from the nights event have gone to the Matthew Shepard Foundation, a group founded by Mathew's parents as an effort to raise awareness, and the most fitting memorial they could think of for their son. After an introduction by Rainbow Alliance's President. Dayvin Hallman, a video produced by the Matthew Shepard Foundation called attention to Matthew's death, as well as that of James Byrd. Jr who was also killed in 1998 in·Jasper, Texas when he was beaten, chained to the back of a truck, and dragged three miles. Byrd's attackers were white supremacists carrying out an attack on an African-American A standing ovation greeted Sbepard just after 7 p.m. She thanked the crowd which had, "given up Monday Night Football" to see her speak. She began by reminding the c~o\Vd that, "This is not a gay thing, this is a hate thing."

ULMER UlmerOOO@uwp.edu The Segregated University Fee Allocations Committee (SUFAC) voted last week to revise a portion of their bylaws in order to clarify issues of bias. SUFAC determines the way in which student segregated fees are allocated to programs and activities that promote the interests of the student body. All students pay segregated fees and those fees go toward funding major status student organizations. as well as other programs such as athletics. The portion of the bylaws in question addresses whether students on SUFAC can participate in the discussion and voting on an organization to which they claim membership. If a student votes to approve the budget for an organization, and he is a member of that organization, there may exist some level of bias in his decision. Prior to revision, the portion of the bylaws read as "Come get that good copy!" follows: "Members of the SUFAC who are also members or advisors of SUFAC funded Organizati ns, or were such during the last academic year. must abstain from involvement in discussion. An individual must leave the room for the SUFAC discussion and voting discussion jf he or she is receiving a stipend from that organization r department. Senators are exempt from this rule when in regards to Parks ide Student Govcmmem Association lPSGA]." The issue was raised by Carly-Anne Ravniknr. SUFAC member and PSGA senator. that SUFAC needs to "more accurately define and acknowledge biases." This included discussing what the definition of "member" is in the context of the SUFAC bylaws. Ravnikar brought this up as a topic of discussion in the weekly SUFAC meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 23. Ravnikar said that the SUFAC members are members of PSGA, so it is unfair that continued on page 5 'cw:. Briefs The Barn fired down. Wellness Hea lth Fa ir.

This week, we decided to try and cover the state budget and all of the Issues and controversy surrounding it. At the start of the week, the budget was still on hold, and Governor Doyle was making threats of closing down th~ UW~system or at least significantly raising tuition. A group of students, ID conjunction WIth United Council, planned to rally and protest on the State steps in Madison on Wednesday, Oct. 24. However that rally was cancelled when the state budget seemed to finally be making some 'progress. In fact, on Tuesday the budget was passed and come Friday, Doyle signed off on it. News changes really fast, and we sometimes struggle to keep up with it. That was the case this week. Our news page editor was trying to write his article for our Thursday deadline, and on Saturday, when he came in to edit, J told him he would need to rewrite it. Of course, he wasn't very happy that he had to spend several hours revising the article, but it was an obvious necessity. We do not want to run old and outdated news in our newspaper. Personally, J am very glad that the budget passed. J am sure that there are many other students that agree. Doyle's threat that the school could be shut down in spring, even if it was an empty threat, terrified me because I am only one semester away from graduation. Also, the threat of tuition increases by as much as $800 next semester greatly alarmed me. As it is. J am already having a hard time earning enough money to pay for my tuition, much less fund a huge tuition increase. J am glad that we can bring students some good news, rather than the doom-and- gloom news I thought we would have to report earlier this week. At the same time, I encourage our readers to let us know the news, as soon as you find out. The Ranger News staff is just a small percentage of the student population here at the University of Wisconsin _ Parks ide and it is nearly impossible for us to keep up with all the news, especially with how fast it moves. In case you have not noticed, we spend most of our time on computers sitting at desks, so we cannot always run fast enough to catch the news. Or maybe I am the only one who is completely athletically deficient. There are reasons why I am not an athlete. pinion Editor taff Reporters Kochael Boker Boker032@uwp.edu Ramon Joimez ioimeOOl@uwp.edu Ryon MQnlrOls ryonmo 19BB@sbcglobol.net Mackenzie Hei~e heise007@uwp.edu R~on AshtQn osloOOl@uwp.edu Kaitlyn M.

There is no word of injuries, but there was significant damage to the barn. The barn contained propane tanks and fertilizer, as well as equipment for the cross-country team. At the tinle of printing, the UW- Parks ide campus police would release no additional information about the incident. A Message of Equality and Hope, continued from front page son's murderers. Afterwards she went on to address the many issues that the country faces in achieving.equality for all of its citizens, including the proposed federal bill ENDA, Employment Non-Discrimination Act. With its current wording, ENDA would protect the rights of employees regardless of sexual orientation, but has no provision for trans gender people. In the eyes of Judy Shepard, and many other equal rights activists, an all-inclusive ENDA is what we really need. President Bush was addressed by Shepard when she discussed the Matthew Shepard Act, a federal Hate- Crime bill. She commented on the President's open statements about vetoing any legislation that includes the term "sexual orientation." President Bush, as well as many conservatives, believes homosexuality to be a choice and so prefer the term "sexual preference;" the idea of choosing ones sexual orientation is a concept patently denied by the LGBTQISA community. Judy Shepard also found it disheartening that even thougb Vice-President Cheney has an openly gay daughter, neither he nor his daughter has taken advantage of their positions to push for equality. . Other issues raised that night include the use of words such as «gay" or «queer" negatively, thus turning them into hate speech. Before ending with a short Q & A, Shepard expressed her belief that the war was won. Despite the lack of legal equality, and tbe continued social stigma associated with the LGBTQISA community, she believes that the next generation is far more accepting than those before it and that it is just a matter of time before full equality is realized. RAMON A. JAIMEZ jaimeOOl@uWP·edu The days following Judy Shepard's appearance at UW- Parks ide have been reflective. Even though Shepard believes that equality is a given and that it will simply take time to be realized, others are less sure. The day following Shepard's appearan.ce, an unsigned postcard was sent to Theatre Arts Department Chair, Dean Yohnk, in which Matthew Shepard is referred to as a freak and a misfit. Professor Yobnk believes that the continued lack of acceptance at UW-Parkside as represented by the postcard, "is why we need to do the play." Aside from the postcard, the majority of comments made to Professor Yohnk have been positive and supportive. He himself was thri lied at the number of people who made it out to see Mrs. Shepard speak, as well as the fact that the Parkside production of The Laramie Project, the play about Mathew Shepard written by Moises Kaufman, already has a number of sold out shows. Speaking about the postcard, Professor Yohnk said that it was a shame that the author, «didn't have the courage to sign it," and that signing it would have had a lot more impact, Dayvin Halimon, Rainbow Alliance's President, was unable to D&fCC with Shepard's optimism. Though pleased with the overall turnout to the event, he was concerned about the . motives of some attendees, as apparently some professors were giving students class credit for attending. Hallmon stated that there have been other speakers on campus with messages as important as Judy Shepard's, but whose speeches received less attention without the added incentive of grade-boosting. Hallmon also went on to say that the struggle for someone to be who they are can be very hard, including those whose families would be less accepting than the Shepards. The challenge of living openly is especially hard for those who are members of sports teams at UW· Parkside and everywhere else; sports teams are still bastions of homophobia. The question of sexuality and race is alsoan important one. Minorities often come from cultures that are strongly against hnmosexuality, a reason for support groups to meet their needs, like QPOC, Queer People of Color. In the Racine and Kenosha communites, there are no support networks available to LGBTQISA people. Hallmon believes that the LGBTQISA Center planned for UW-Parkside will become a bastion of support for UW-Parkside students as well community members. As the Rainbow Alliance President sees it, "we have only begun . to scratch the surface of the glass ceiling." Hallmon and Rainbow AlJiance have received many statements of support just as Dean Yohnk has, but like Professor Yohnk, they believe that equality is still forthcoming and will not be easily attained We now have one less homosexual freak to spread AIDS or lure our children into their perversions. Busybodies at UW-Parkside, I1ke Dean Yohnk, should quit pimping for gays and lesbians and quit showing gay propagand like "The Laramie Project".

The fundmg for theKenosha-Racme Compassion CapitalFund Project has been approvedby the U.S. Dept. of Healthand Human Services to supportcapacity building for these. The Center for Community Partnershipsat UW-Parkside strives to connect the campus with its surrounding communities by utilizing student,faculty, and staff talents.The area that the grant affectsthe most is the Nonprofit DevelopmentProgram, which promotes community developmentby offering services to nonprofit organizations.

This grant is of great importance to both the university and the surrounding community. The grant will allow the organization to offer more workshops and to implement as~es~ments and other capacity building activities for nonprofit organizations. In addition about $200,000 of the funds will be re-granted to the benefiting commuruty groups. Another $50,000 will be used for smaller grants ranging from $500 to $2,000 for the purchase of new computers, board retreats, or other needed purchases.

The Imaginary Invalid by Moliere is a classic comedy whose jokes are just as funny today as they were in 1674. For those of you who are doubtful about seeing it because you think you will not be able to understand the dialogue, think again. The story is easy for anyone to follow and also includes more modem adaptations made by Miles Malleson that are quick to spot, quicker to laugh at, and go without hindering the original plot. This is certainly something for anyone who likes to enjoy themselves. Argan, played by junior Theatre Arts major Philip Zimmermann, is a hypochondriac, meaning he thinks he is fatally ill and constantly cries out for medical attention. His daughter. Angelica, played by junior Theatre Arts major Robyn Schneider, finds herself in a Romeo and Juliet style romance. The play includes plenty of classic Shakespearian elements for diehard theater fans, as well as two musical interludes to have you dancing in your seats.

No one is safe from Moliere's sense of satire, not even Moliere himself. Even 333 years later, Moliere's final play is still able to leave any audience in stiches. The cast enjoys the show as much as the audience. Michael Jornlin, a first year transfer student who played Argan's intended son-in- law, Thomas, learned a lot from the director, who helped him to find his goals. He loved the color and spectacle of the stage, and I must say, I agree. In my opinion, the set looks like something right OUl of an art museum.
