With that inmind, it should come as no Surprise that the UW-Parkside campus proudly hosted a Diwali Festival celebration on Friday, Nov.16. The ceremony began with an introduction from president of theUW-Parkside International Club, Adtnu Tiwari, and his • fellow host, Rattandeep Kaur, whoexplained to the audience thatDiwaJi is the Hindu festival of lights. Diwali stems from the Hindu tradition and the hosts 1be Ranger New5 is writteD and edited by students fl -. .". . .. o he University ofWisc::o""ln"Parbuw lind they are solely ruponslhll: for Its editorial policy and content. spoke of the celebration in the universal themes of life and wealth of knowledge. Following the introduction, a lyrical prayer was sung by Saurnya Bojja, with the help of Anita Zachariah, in Hindi, the native language of India. The first dance was preformed by Saumya Bojja, Anita Zachariah, Ourlee Ouran, and Phoua Xiong. The style of dance is known as Indian fusion, which took parts of classic Indian traditional dance and mixed them with modern, somewhat Western, dance moves. The performers wore matching red saris and they twirled in unison to the up-tempo Indian music. Following the first performance was a dinner, of flavorful,.colorful Indian cuisine, including butter chicken, rajma rice, kheer, naan and salad, courtesy of Aramark catering. Parks ide International Club member Velimir Genov said, "it was really good," even though dishes like that might not have been as common in his native Bulgaria. After the meal was over Adtnu Tiwari said to the, audience, "I think the food was brilliant, wasn't it?" Tiwari and Kaur went on to introduce the second group of dancers who performed a Punjabi folk dance, which, as Kaur explained, is a dance that originated in the state of Punjab in southern India. The energetic movements of the dancers brought audience members to their feet as they watched Lakhveer Kaur, Neha Minhas, and Mishal Raza dance together to the classical sounds of India. Their ankle bells and wrist bangles added to the music and the authenticity of the dance. To close out the performances for the night, Saumya Bojja and Anita Zachariah came up to dance their well-rehearsed Bollywood style duet. This particular style of dancing is based on the popular moves shown in many Mumbai films, better known to Americans as "Bollywood" films. The modem music mixed with the classic sounds of India, such as drums, flutes, and sitars, made for a dance that drew a applause from the crowd. Kaur and Tiwari turned on some spirited Indian music and invited the entire crowd up to learn a traditional Jndian dance called the Dandiya. The dance is done in praise of the Lord Rama and Goddess Durga, using sticks called dandiyas which represent the sword of Durga. This dance led to the closing ceremony, which left everyone in high spirits and full of new knowledge and appreciation for Hinduism and the Indian culture. Campus wins Gold Award for fundraising ROBERT ROSATI robertrosati@botmail.com Next month the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide will receive a Gold Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District Five for "Best Practices in Fundraising and Development." Four hundred different colleges and universities throughout Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, lIIinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin make up District Five. "Belonging," the name of this year's annual fund campaign for campus employees was a combined effort of both University Relations and Advancement staff. The director of scholarships and the annual fund, Cynthia Jensen, came up with the idea for "Belonging" after calling upon her colleagues to make some light-hearted videos on the Web. The videos contained 29 employees of UW-Parkside explaining how they contribute to the university through their jobs, as well as how they help support athletics, scholarships, academic programs and various projects though their donations to the university. The University of Wisconsin-Parkside graphics photo program manager Don "Come get that good copy!" Lintner, graphic designer Laura Mason, Web master Elizabeth McGee. as well as marketing and publications director John Mielke were involved in producing and launching the four Web videos. The resuits of the "Belonging" campaign were successful. There was a 93 percent increase in donations made by university employees compared to the average donations made in the past four years. The level of participation by employees of the university increased 108 percent. The amount of money raised was a staggering 302 percent higher. Most of the muney raised will be put towards funding schnlarships for students. On Dec. 11.the date of the CASE Conference Grand Luncheon, CASE will present a trophy to the University Relations and Advancement. - . 2 November 27, 2007 900 Wood Rood Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 Ads; uwp_ods@yahoo.cQm Website: rangernews@uwp.edu dilor in Chief ' Koitl!n M.

More than grades, degrees or even jobs, experience shows whether or not an individual knows what he or she is doing. This is the main reason why I work for The Ranger News: experience. At times it feels like I get little more credit than a byline and a bullet point on my resume, but that bullet point is worth all the effort. As registration for the spring semester approaches, I encourage all students at the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide to consider working or interning with The Ranger News. As the primary source for campus news at a university that does not offer a journalism program, The Ranger News is tbe best outlet for learning and practicing written media, photography, editing, advertising, and yes, even comics. . . Unfortunately, there is one disclaimer I need to put on this call for new staff members, and that is that most of the positions on staff are unpaid. I reaily wish we could pay our entire staff, but we run off of student segregated fees, which means if we pay everyone, every student would need to pay more tuition. ] am sure that nobody wants to hear that. Instead, ( encourage our staff to maintain a healthy balance between schoolwozk, jobs and working (or The Ranger News. Sometimes this balancing act is not so ea,sy to accomplisb, but it is possible. Your experience at The Ranger News could be the difference between getting the job you want and settling foz something less. If you are interested in working for The Ranger News, stop in at our office at Wyllie DI39C to fill out an application or come to our weekly meetings on Fridays at noon in Molinaro D lO5. l look forward to seeing you there!
