The only logical option is out-of-class learninej ohns376@ uwp .edu Students are finding it harder and harder to keep up with the growing work load of their classes! After speaking with several students on campus, it has been interesting to find that the workload of classes has been steadily increasing. Students are bewildered by the escalating demand of outside work, versus the demand of work inside the classroom. Some students, such as Eric Harington, even went as far as saying, "It used to be that sixty-five percent of the work and experience was dealt with in the classroom, and the other thirty-five percent was done outside of the class. Now, I feel like we do seventy-five percent of the work outside of class, and twenty-five percent in." Eric is a non-traditional student at UW-Parkside. While other students agree with this claim, there are those who disagree entirely. For example, students like Laura Kang, a communications major at UW-Parkside, and Alecia Annachino, a double Major at UW-Parkside, feel that real world experience is key to a person's education. As a result, there is a common consensus among many students that seventy-five percent of the work should be done outside of class. In any case, what are the reasons for the seemingly massive increase in the workload? Some would say it has always been this way, but a few pieces of conclusive evidence include professors facing pay deductions, and the university facing financial and fiscal budget cuts. Given our current political situation, professors across the state are being faced with the dilemma of having to teach more classes, with less pay. Because professors across campus are being charged with more and more duties, their time for class work is depleting, along with the time of the normal class period. As a result, the student's learning has to be compensated for in some sort of fashion. The only logical option is out-of-class learning— thus, the extra workload. Among the many explanations and reasons for the extra workload, this is one of them. "The extra workload," as Annachino explains, "allows us to practice our time management skills, and gets us ready for our realworld experiences, especially within the job market realm." Voting Rights Changing in Wisconsin Alexandria Binanti BinanOO 1 @ uwp .edu Just one year ago Wisconsin made shocking headlines with Scott Walker's highly contentious "Budget Repair Bill," which threatened unions as well as thousands of public sector employees. The response to this bill was overwhelming. Fourteen Democratic senators fled Wisconsin to try to impede the vote, millions of demonstrators flocked Madison in the subsequent weeks, filling the capitol building day and night, and even democratic revolutionaries in Egypt rallied in support of Wisconsin's demonstrations. Wisconsin democrats lost the fight, and students are now seeing the ramifications of the conservative term. One of these effects in 2012 has been the implementation of new voting changes in Wisconsin. Governor Scott Walker passed into legislation the "Voter Identification Bill" in May, 2011. Employed this January, the primary elections on the 21st of February, as well as the possible recall election, will be the first elections to be impacted by the statute's new regulations. These new changes have be^n seen by opponents as an effort to disenfranchise thousands of potential voters with its confusing requirements, and potentially diminishes the student vote. Representative Peter Barca noted while visiting UWParkside in December to address the voting bill changes, "In a fiscal year where we have seen nothing done to create jobs, where 1,200 jobs have been lost [in December] alone, and 20,000 since the budget bill started in July, this bill [the voter i.d. bill] seems like a mistake of priorities... These changes seem to limit many democratic constituents [such as students and senior citizens]." The University of Wisconsin System as well as well as campus-dwelling students may find these changes to be an impediment to the voting process. From now on the legislation will allow the following IDs for voting: Wisconsin driver's licenses; state-issued ID cards; military IDs; passports; naturalization certificates; IDs issued by Wisconsin-based tribes; and certain student IDs. Student IDs need to be issued from accredited public and private colleges and universities in Wisconsin, include the student's signature and have a two-year expiration date. Students would have to establish they are currently enrolled in the school if using a student ID. A provision to require addresses on student IDs was removed from the bill by the Assembly. Student residents looking to register to vote on campus will have a new minimum residency requirement of 28 days, opposed to the prior 10 day requirement. UW-System IDs do not currently meet the legislation's requirements, and the changeover could cost the system $1.1 million to reissue IDs. At the University of Wisconsin Parkside, students who qualify are being offered a new college voter ID that fits legislative requirements. Steve Wallner, interim director of student life at UW-Parkside stated, "Most of our students have proper identification since most students drive and are from the immediate area...it would have been cost prohibitive for Parkside to give all its approximate 4,000 students a voter id so they are available free upon request." The cost of making an id each costs the school about $2.00, excluding the cost of the new equipment required to make the IDs. According to some Parkside Student Government officials "The cost of the voter ID is much less than the chance of fraud." Remarking that nine other states have the same voting requirements, along with 19 other state variations of voter ID requirements, Wisconsin is hardly a pioneer in this process. And while the projected cost of the statewide change seems high, Steve Wellner has assured UW-Parkside a more cost effective means can be implemented to give students the optimal access to voting. If any student is seeking further advice or have any questions regarding these voting changes the UW-Parkside Student Affairs office would be happy to answer and questions. ^ Range r News I niversity of Wisconsin Parkside Student Newspaper Copy Editors: 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI53141 Phone: (262) 595-2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 E-mail: rangernews@uwp.edu Editor in Chief: Executive Editor: Emily Harring harri091 @ uwp .edu Daniel Lavender laven006@uwp.edu Lead Photographer: Cedric Ray ray00007@uwp.edu Staff Reporters: Alyssa Kay kay00003@ uwp .edu Trevor Henkel henke020@uwp.edu Alexandria Binanti binan001@uwp Bobby Johnson johns376@uwp .edu Laura Ellen Pate Bridges PatebOO 1 @ uwp .edu Steven Niemi niemi004@uwp .edu Photographers: Cartoonist: Designers: Maggie Lawler lawle020@ uwp .edu James Burns burns029@uwp.edu Kelsey Klink Klink003 @ uwp .edu Bethany MacDonald macd017@uwp.edu Carl Rollman roll mOO 1 @ uwp .edu Zak Eden edenOOOl @uwp.edu Maggie Lawler lawle020@ uwp .edu Charles Reynolds rey noO 18 @ uwp .edu MISSION STATEMENT: THE RANGER NEWS STRIVES TO INFOR M, EDUcate, AND ENGAGE THE UW-PARKSIDE COMMUNITY BY PUBLISHING WELL-WRITTEN, ACCURATE STUDENT JOU RNALISM ON A BI-W EEKLY BASIS, AS WE LL AS ONLINE.

I hope you're having a lovely Tuesday (free of snow and icky weather). Is anyone else counting down the days until spring break? While I think I have been counting down the days 'til spring break since the start of the semester, it seems to have gotten especially bad these past couple weeks. I blame the random, amazing nice spring days we will occasionally have before it goes back to being dark, dreary, and altogether completely unpleasant. I just want warm weather, is that too much to ask? In other news, Parkside has been particularly quiet since the hoax a couple weeks back. There have been plenty of events to attend, though! The Chili cook off this past Tuesday seemed like a delicious event, Great Expectations opened this past weekend (a review of which can be found inside this edition), and PSG election packets are available for anyone interested in holding office (yes, it's that time of year again!). The Ranger News will keep you in the know about all the interesting things going on around campus! Remember, you can check out our website (www.trnonline. org) for other information. Before you enjoy the rest of the issue, I will take the opportunity to nudge everyone in the direction of This Means War, the new movie with Tom Hardy. It's cliche and I totally guessed the ending, but oh my, does his face make up for its faults. Plus, it'll make you laugh. So, go see it, love it, and have a wonderful week. 28 February 12:00 PM-6:00 PM Art Exhibition: ' 13^ g West African Art from the Mathis Collection Everyday Matters: Works by Three Local Artists "I'm in the Wrong Film' and Other Works" by Hans Rita Tallent Picken 6:00 PM -7:00 PM Zeta Sigma Chi: "Her Success Story" with Jackeline Herrara 7:00 PM-9:00 PM BSU Gospel Explosion Cinema 29 February 12:00 PM-6:00 PM Art Exhibition: West African Art from the Mathis Collection Everyday Matters: Works by Three Local Artists 'I'm in the Wrong Film' and Other Works" by Hans Gindlesbe Rita Tallent Picken 12:00 PM -1:00 PM 1 Zeta Sigma Chi: Let's Play Loteria Student Center Maple Room 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Geography Club: Motivational Speaker Sammy Rangel " v - Mblifiar<>i05 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Noon Conceit: Mark Eichner, trumpet Bedford Concert Hall 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM PAMA Presents: Rock the Vote : Student Center Ballroom . 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM -' U W-Parkside Jazz Ensemble Bedford Concert Hall 9:00 PM-11:32 PM Foreign Film: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo i March ~'V/ 12:00 PM-8:00 PM West African Art from the Mathis Collection Everyday Matters: Works by Three Local Artists 'I'm in the Wrong Film' and Other Works" by Hans Gindlesbe Rita Tallent Piciken 7:00 PM -8:00 PM Zeta Sigma Chi: Dance with the Z-Chis Molinaro D132 The Straylight Poetry Contest is under way!

Burns Burns029@rangers.uw.edu The University of Wisconsin-Parkside hosted the first Straylight open mic of the new semester in the Den on Friday 17 February 2012. The crowd was buzzing with conversation, and the anticipation was high. The roster was hard to fill with people to sign-up and perform at first, but things picked up quickly after the initial nervousness wore off. The first few performances were A Capella renditions of songs by Beyonce, in particular her song "Halo," performed by Delonte Carter and Jozef Mason, filling the venue with strong voices. It took a little while, but the poets finally started to come on in bursts and waves, followed by long sets from local musicians, and students playing originals, interspersed with covers of popular bands. The poetry was sometimes deep, and exploratory, with the occasional nonsense, causing people to burst into random laughter. William May, a reviewer on the Straylight staff at Parkside, continued the tradition of telling a bad joke before performing their poetry. May's was intelligent, as much as humorous, asking the crowd, "Do you guys want to hear a joke about Potassium?" When the crowd agreed, he responded with a terse, "K." Other times it was quite melancholy, or expressive. One piece of nonsense in particular, which was quite popular with the crowd, was what's called an "exquisite corpse" poem. How it works is that someone starts with a couple lines of poetry, and passes it to their neighbor, who then writes their own couple of lines, and passes it on like this. The catch being that when you get the poem, to add your two lines, you are only allowed to see the two previous lines of the poem. This unique method of composition really engaged the audience, and it really went over well when everybody heard what they wrote. It was complete hysteria; people couldn't believe what others had written. The night was rounded out by various encore performances by several of the musicians from earlier in the night that had more material to play. A set done by Colin Flanigan and Christiana Caronti, of The Aches, was extremely popular. The musical styling of Matt Leptich on guitar was toe tapping and folksy. Paul Braun and his band 10 displayed a smooth, contemplative sound. Soft vocals combined with eclectic guitar riffs held the audience in place. Over all, it was a good start to the Straylight's spring season. There was a great variety of entertainment for everyone. So keep your eyes peeled, and your calendar's open for the next event to be announced.

February 28,2012 The Ranger News New Federal Loan Rules Steven Niemi Niemi004@uwp.edu Many new graduates are discovering that the new federal loan rules for income-based plans are very complicated, especially those trying to pay off their student loans. Ranydy McCready, the director of scholarships and financial aid, says that the new consolidation laws affect some 11,000 past and present students at thf?University of Wisconsin-Parkside. If a student graduates, leaves school, or drops below the required credits to be considered a half-time student, they have a grace period of six to nine months before repayment begins on a federal loan. At UWParkside, half-time enrollment means six credits for undergraduates and four credits for graduate students. It is important to contact your loan servicer if you're struggling making payments, as you might be able to change your repayment plan or request a loan deferment or forbearance. Be aware that unpaid interest can add up when postponing your loans. In some circumstances, forbearances allow you to stop making payments for a certain period of time, temporarily make smaller payments, or give you more time to make payments. If you're not aware of your outstanding loans, you can check your loan history at www.nslds. ed.gov (National Student Loan Data System). The last thing you want to do is default, as it can have very serious consequences, such as: ineligibility for additional federal student aid, payments can be deducted from paychecks, state, federal income tax refunds can be withheld and applied toward what you owe, late fees can be added to what you already owe, and there is even the possibility of being sued. It's important to be aware of your loans, payment plans, and any sources of assistance. If you're on the verge of graduating, start doing research now or you could end up losing thousands of dollars without even knowing if. Coping After Hate Crime and Hoax Alexandria Binanti BinanOO 1 @ uwp ,edu University of Wisconsin Parkside's Ethnic Studies Department offered a meeting to stalf and students to respond to the incidents on campus involving the hate crime hoax. The goal was to organize a conference with the administration to cope with the traumatic events that took place during the kick-off of black history month. Dr Abey Kuruvilla, professor of Business and Technology, noted that during the two meetings the chancellor initiated on Thursday night, "The fear was so real.. .the lights flickered off momentarily and there was terror from students." Realizing the death threats were a hoax did not lesson the fear or minimize the obvious racial strain that arose on campus. And while Chancellor Debra Ford congratulated students on coming together as a community, Vice President of Parkside's NAACP, Whisper Jackson, noted that, "segregation is overwhelmingly affecting our student body." Associate Professor of Communication and Ethnic Studies, Fay Akindes, spoke to the gathering and led the group to express their thoughts and feelings. "Dialogue of race should not be a taboo," one staff member announced, "even though the noose incident was overshadowed in many ways by the hoax, it did not minimize the fact that this blew the cap off already present anxieties." From this, Akindes suggested an option for more ongoing public forums on racial issues. The meetings held regarding the noose incident and death threat hoax seemed to incite a public forum opportunity that was heartening to see with such an immense and diverse turn out. It became a safe place to speak for many. Encouraged by the universal response from all students, the idea for a continued dialogue became imperative. Several suggestions were tossed around to go to the administration for this week, even comparing events and actions to UW-Platteville's initiative against hate crimes. Chancellor Debra Ford encourages this pro-active stance by staff and students. "[The hate crime/hoax] enabled us to respond to the challenges in a positive way and showed us the true value of community. We will continue to learn as we complete afteraction reviews and engage in continuing dialogues." The events of Parkside should be seen a lesson between racism from all cultural groups. As Whisper Jackson stated, "To erad cate segregation whether mental, physical, psychological, spiritual, forma, and/or informal segregation on UW-Parkside's campus, everyone (students, faculty, staff, police) need to work hard together... for everyone here is affected whether you feel its implications or not." Time will only tell how deeply impacted these events will change our student interactions, but the response is hopeful as an affirmative stance against hate and segregation.

Burns Burns029(5) rangers, uw.edu Currently in the throes of economic upheaval, or presently recovering, people are considering their financial situations more closely in the wake of what is now being called the "Great Recession" by many Americans. Movies are rarely able to capture this sense of anxiety, and the keen uncertainty about where the next paycheck will arrive. However, Vittorio De Sica does this masterfully with one of his masterpiece works, The Bicycle Thief. The Bicycle Thief was released in 1948 in post-war Italy to a public all too aware of how bleak life was after such a global conflict, and reflected, in a subtle style, the hopeless paths we walk at times when faced with real adversity. Viewers should be able to easily identify with this story. A father, Antonio Ricci, is struggling to find work in Rome and maintain a livelihood to support his family. He does all this while simultaneously trying to raise his son, Bruno, to be a morally upstanding citizen, but poverty complicates things for him. The gut wrenching begins when Antonio's bicycle is stolen while he is hanging posters his first day on the job. Without the bicycle, which is vital to his work, his family, like so many others, will suffer and starve. The film follows father and son on their dogged quest to recover that which was stolen. While navigating the twists and turns of Roman alleys, ghettos, and searching everywhere for the culprit; a needle in a haystack if ever there was one, Antonio gradually succumbs to desperation. This film resonates so perfectly with the economic trials that face Americans today that it is almost eerie. The Bicycle Thief reaches into the past for proof that people have gone through this before. It has a stark, lingering, visual style that puts you in the character's wellworn shoes, and rumpled hat. Bruno, Antonio's son, makes the film all the more emotional because of that very loyalty in his father He stays right alongside his father through all that they experience. Too young to know how hard life truly is, Bruno believes, "Dad will fix things." It just makes the film all the more heartbreaking and beautiful. It stands as a timeless testament to humanity and our constant struggle If you would like to see the Bicycle Thief it plays in the Student Center Cinema 23-24 February at 7:30 p.m., Saturday 25th February at 5 & 8 p.m., and Sunday 26th February, at 2 & 5 p.m. Great Expectations Exceeds Viewer Expectations Alexandria Binanti BinanOO 1 @ uwp.edu In an era where modern society has experienced the rise and fall of fortunes, and social class is constantly being reexamined, the University of Parkside's play Great Expectations transcends the centuries to deliver a performance that is nostalgic as well as relevant. Based on the Charles Dickens novel, the Barbara Field adaption stays close to the original. The story goes through the life of a young boy, bound by the hardships of society. The audience examines his hopes, his rise, and his fall that teaches the lesson quoted from the character Jaggers, "Never judge by appearances—irrefutable evidence, that's the rule." The evolution of love and compassion is hauntingly poignant for the characters, proving that relationships matter more than status. Bobby Johnson leads the cast, delivering a reserved yet thoughtful portrayal of the Dickens' protagonist, Pip. While the plot is considered a classic drama, newbie Kenjamin Lafayette entertains the audience with playful anecdotes of humor. True to his ComedySportz background, his range of character voices, faces, and antics are perfectly delivered to break up the seriousness of the plot. One theater goer, Tom Webber, claimed, "The show does the book justice... I liked the added humor as well." Utility is something to be praised here. Actors are seen playing multiple roles, convincingly transformed by a costume change, an altered accent, and even different posture. Sound effects are mostly generated from the cast themselves, seen by the audience to give dimension to the performance. Student Sam Crawford noted, "The stage setting and the use of the sound effects were aesthetically pleasing." The idea to show the audience the belt snaps to signify a hand slapping the face, or the tin cans tapping to visualize a horse's clap, seems to add to the mechanical instrumentalism of the late 19th century setting. Debuted on Friday 24th February, the show runs through the next two weekends 24th February-3rd March with performances at 7:30 PM, as well as a 2:00 PM matinee performance on the 26th (no 7:30 showing) and an added performance on the 2nd of March at 10AM. For opening night, the show sold over 110 tickets, with seating room for 125. Ticket cost is low; only $7.50 for students while seniors and adult ticket prices are slightly higher.

February 28,2012 The Ranger News 7 UWP Press Release UW-PARKSIDE WIND ENSEMBLE, CHOIR EVENT FEATURES WORLD PREMIERE KENOSHA, Wis.—The University of Wisconsin-Parkside Music Department presents the world premiere of the Good Friday-inspired composition "The Ascension" performed by the university's Wind Ensemble, Chorale, and Masters Singers Friday 2nd March.

Crowley selected a portion of a longer poem McGuire penned. "He gave me an extended poem, and I found this section, which is kind of a self-contained, shorter poem called 'The Ascension, Crowley said. "And I thought, with hardly any adjustment, this would work as a choral piece." McGuire said the words were inspired by the Catholic ritual of the Holy Rosary. "The Holy Rosary are prayers and meditations on the life of Jesus," McGuire stated. "So, this is the ascension of Jesus, which is what Good Fn ay is about." . . , Crowley and McGuire's composition will be played for the first time by the UW-Parkside Wind Ensemble and sung by the university s ora e an Master Singers.

Music Review: At The Drive-in Steven Neimi Niemi004@uwp.edu In honor of At the Drive-In ending their 11-year hiatus last month, it seems appropriate to look back at the band's debut album from 1996 Acrobatic Tenement. Despite the low quality of the recording, which was produced for only $600, the top-notch lyrics and music make this album a worthy one. ATDI would go on to create more melodious albums, like In/Casino/Out, and heavier albums with Relationship of Command, but Acrobatic Tenement was a perfect blending of both styles. The album tells incredibly emotional and powerful stories of the band members' experiences growing up in Texas. The lyrics may be nonsensical at times, but they never lack feeling. Cedric Bixler, lead vocals, moves from a very mellow and soft style of singing to an almost straight out yelling throughout the album. Jim Ward's, guitarist and backup vocals, screaming contasted to Cedric's singing worked perfectly. Feelings just poured out of this album, especially in the songs "Ebrogho and Initiation " Though the music isn't very technical, the songs are still very catchy. ATDI has a sound that can't be described, but if you are a fan of The Mars Volta or Sparta I would highly suggest taking a look at where the members of those bands started. I would aNo sugges taking a look at This Station Is Non-Operational ATDI s greatest hits, before listening to Acrobatic Tenement. The band s soundI has changed over th eir 1 1 ye ars together, and ^ woud give the casual listener a better insight to this band TJ lowquaL ity of the album may be off-putting at first, but don t let it push you away from a truly great debut album.
