Currently, the first purpose of the rain garden (removing invasive species) won't come into play as much. The Environmental club added that by creating this rain garden, they are encouraging native animal and plant diversity. However, the rain garden will play a large part in collecting water off of the residence hall roof top. The Environmental Club explained that, "Too often our rain waterfalls onto impermeable surfaces and then rushes into streams and rivers. This brings dirt, which is the largest pollutant in the United States, into tributaries and eventually into lakes and oceans. A rain garden slows the flow of the water which in turn reduces flooding and drought." The rain garden is funded by Root-Pike WIN, who donated the plants, the Environmental Club, the Student Organizations Council, and UW^- Parkside students who raised money through a penny war.

The infamous game of "Zombies Vs Humans" was played by many of students all last week. The random, however entertaining event had many non-players talking about it over dinner one night. If such an event can get so much attention I wonder what will happen next? From the many Zombie attacks during the day to the night missions this adventures game definitely caught my attention. Many of the weapons the Humans use are very strange, from noodles that you use in swimming pools to socks, and even marshmallows. I didn't know that marshmallows, socks, and noodles stunned Zombies; l wonder what movie that's from? Parkside's Association of Wargamers (PAW) had an remarkable idea when throwing this event, even though only about 60 students played. I know that next year there will be so many more players just because of how unique this event was. This event brought plenty of people together from lots of different organizations and others not in any organizations at all. r ,. JV^^lei1 * first got involved 1 chdn t want to be turned into a Zombie because I thought it wouldn't be fun. I found out that being a Zombie is more fun than being a Human because Humans can only wait to be attacked and Zombies get to team up together and go hunting. Friday night April 24, 2009 at 8:00 a mission started-the Humans had to "save rescuers" that got attacked by Zombies. The Humans would meet at a place in the school and wait for the E-mail that would tell them where to go. The Zombies had to find out where the Humans would be and attack. At first I started out with the Humans looking around every corner and end hoping to not see any Zombies. I ended up with the Zombies in the middle of the mission, getting pelted by marshmallows. This mission lasted about two hours and I was not paying attention to the time one bit. I must give props to the Parkside Association of Wargamers for bring this even to us for it was one of the college experiences I was not looking for but glad I found. I just hope this event continues for years to come because next time I will turn someone into a Zombie, you mark my words, even if this game scared me for life. Lemonade BY MICHAEL RIEDLINGER riedl001@uwp.edu May 2009 Graduate Next month, several hundred students will achieve the goal they have been working towards for lour, or let's be honest, five plus years. These students, myself among them, will be walking in the graduation ceremonies to take place here at Parkside. We will stand proud, looking out "to the crowd to see the smiling faces of the friends we have made, the family who have supported us, and the faculty who have fostered us over these long... Waft a second... The faculty may well not be there at all! In fact, if something happens to the lemon squares they have been promised as an incentive to show up in the first place, we might not see any of the professors we have come to respect and whose respect we hope we have earned in return. There isn't a rule or bylaw that requires them to be present at our commencement, nor should one truly be required. After all, who but the faculty would know better the time and effort spent acquiring an undergrad or graduate diploma? There is a sense of pride and tradition we all have upon reaching our mutual goal, and I for one would like to think that the mentors arid champions of higher education I have had the privilege to learn from would be there to celebrate, not only our accomplishments, but theirs as well. . Not every student graduates Just ask the members of Alpha Sigma Lambda, many of whom are graduating after many years of hard work and perseverance. To receive a Bachelors Degree takes a solid investment of time, energy, and sacrifice. Some are finally reaching that most ultimate of goals only after their second of third attempt. That the goal has been attained certainly has meaning, and we who have attained it wish to share our victory with everyone who has helped us get there. That includes the professors who have helped shape us as scholars in our own right. One afternoon, a few hours in the very twilight of our scholastic sojourn, is all we ask of them. We want them, of all the shepherds we have come to know, to bear witness to the final pulse of energy before our chrysalises crack and we take flight on the wings they so carefully spent years fostering. We h ave a right to be proud of the dreams we have realized, and all we ask is that they join us in celebration of the quest they have helped us complete. I encourage all of the faculty reading this to join us in that celebration on May 16, 2009. 1 personally invite all the professors who have seen me through to this end to attend the ceremony you yourselves once enjoyed. I think everyone graduating this May should do the same. Stop your professors in the halls, or swing by their offices unannounced, and invite them personally to join us in the final moments of this, one of our greatest achievements.
