The Ranger News is witten and edited by students of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, and they are solely responsible for its editorial policy and content.&#13;
One of our own: the Cory Brennan story&#13;
Alexandria Binanti&#13;
binanOO 1 @ u wp .edu&#13;
The Kenosha community is looking to&#13;
give back to a University of WisconsinParkside&#13;
student after tragedy struck. Assistance&#13;
is being rallied for Cory Brennan&#13;
from the Kenosha Sheriff's Department after&#13;
the recent suicide of his mother. Brennan,&#13;
at 20-years-old, has been left the sole&#13;
burden to cover the costs of his mother's&#13;
funeral and debts while finishing his Bachelor's&#13;
degree in criminal justice at Parkside.&#13;
Coming from a single-parent household,&#13;
the newly bereaved senior also has&#13;
been left with no help for living necessities&#13;
while he finishes his senior year at Parkside.&#13;
&#13;
Brennan says he's facing the most difficult&#13;
challenge of his life, but that his&#13;
goals are set higher because of his mother.&#13;
"My parents got divorced roughly a couple&#13;
months after I was born. My father came in and&#13;
out of the picture. It was always just me and Mom.&#13;
We were bouncing from motel to motel, living out&#13;
of the car. I can't even count on all my fingers and&#13;
toes how many jobs she bounced around from,"&#13;
Brennan has told the media.&#13;
Despite his upbringing, Cory Brennan has&#13;
shown true determination to succeed. While being&#13;
an academically driven student on the Dean's&#13;
List and active member of the local Explorer Post,&#13;
a group of young adults that want careers in public&#13;
safety, Cory is also joining the Army after graduation.&#13;
After hearing about his loss, Brennan's Explorer&#13;
Advisor Deputy Timothy Hackbarth stepped&#13;
in to organize support.&#13;
Kenosha County Sheriff's Sgt. Bill Beth reported&#13;
Friday 23 March that about $400 has been&#13;
raised to provide support for Cory and help offset&#13;
costs - most of that money coming from within&#13;
the sheriff's department. Sgt. Beth said he expects&#13;
there will be an outpouring of support, and says&#13;
many have indicated they will be mailing checks.&#13;
Sgt. Beth has also told press that Parkside administration&#13;
have been notified of the incident and are&#13;
doing what they can to help, but unfortunately the&#13;
Dean of Students was unable to be reached for&#13;
commentary.&#13;
Brennan was noted to have said to Fox News&#13;
reporters, with fear of not being able to cover the&#13;
costs of his mother's funeral, "What have I done&#13;
wrong in my life to be put in a situation where I&#13;
can't afford to bury my mom?" Brennan's mother's&#13;
funeral was held Friday 23 March and thanks&#13;
to the help of Piasecki-Althaus Funeral Home in&#13;
Kenosha and All Saints Cemetery, his mother was&#13;
able to have a proper burial.&#13;
Anyone interested in helping out financially&#13;
may send a check made out to Cory Brennan to&#13;
the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department, 1000&#13;
55th Street, Kenosha, WI, 53140. Cash donations&#13;
will be accepted, but checks are preferred. Also,&#13;
follow the Ranger News for any updates of University&#13;
support at print or online at trnonline.org.&#13;
Events for and about women taking place around campus&#13;
Women's History Month met with attack on women's rights&#13;
Alexandria Binanti&#13;
binanOO 1 @ uwp .edu&#13;
March is National Women's History Month. However, as Wisconsin&#13;
Governor Scott Walker signs off on bills that attack sexual health programs,&#13;
abortion laws, and threatens women's rights in the workforce,&#13;
it seems appropriate that the Women's and Gender Studies Programs&#13;
offer "Events for and about Women" throughout the month of April.&#13;
The University of Wisconsin-Parkside kicked off these events with a&#13;
rendition of Eye Ensler's "Vagina Monologues" by several students on&#13;
Thursday 5 April at the Rita. Focusing on the female anatomy, the dramatic&#13;
reading was given to artfully empower the individualism of the&#13;
female body by deconstructing stereotypes of the fragility of women. In&#13;
light of the political environment, Dr. Kate Gillogly, Evelyn Zepp, and&#13;
Anna Lee Sepanski added a panel titled "Attacks on Women's Health&#13;
&amp; Reproductive Rights" that was given on Wednesday 11 April, for a&#13;
discussion and political update.&#13;
"This panel couldn't have come at better timing," remarked student&#13;
Melissa Strutters, who is a psychology major at University of Wisconsin-Parkside.&#13;
"The political environment for women is becoming&#13;
increasingly negative in favor of extremist pro-lifers." Strutters commented&#13;
on the news that Wisconsin GOP Scott Walker just signed bills&#13;
on Friday 6 April that permits the repeal of a law allowing workers to&#13;
sue employers over discrimination, set major limits on abortion, and&#13;
requires public schools to teach abstinence-only programs for sex education.&#13;
&#13;
Democratic Representative Peter Barca criticized several of the bills&#13;
as "attacks on women's health." Even the bill regarding discrimination&#13;
lawsuits aims to minimize the progress of women's equal pay campaigns.&#13;
According to the Institution of Women's Policy Research, "Status&#13;
of Women in the States" reports show that on average women's&#13;
pay still lags as much as 30 percent in some sectors and hire ability is&#13;
lowered for women in their late twenties that pose the possibility of&#13;
needing maternity leave. According to the report, "At the current rate&#13;
of progress it will take 100 years for women to achieve parity in political&#13;
representation in Congress and 50 years to achieve equal pay." This&#13;
legislation could halt workforce progress even further. By adding this to&#13;
legislation that prohibits sexual education and minimizes state abortions,&#13;
it is clear that Wisconsinites have to take a look at the state's progress.&#13;
The University of Wisconsin-Parkside will continue discussions&#13;
throughout the month including "Tough Guise: Violence, Media, and&#13;
Masculinity" this Thursday at 12:30-1:45 p.m. in the Student Center Cinema&#13;
for a DVD viewing and discussion led by Dr. Jonathan Shailor, Bernard&#13;
Covelli, and Marilyn Vazquez. Also look for panels on education of&#13;
Roe Versus Wade legislation, and other educational commitments. &#13;

Letter from the editor&#13;
It's hard to believe this school year is almost coming&#13;
to a close. A mere three weeks remain between now and&#13;
summer break. It seems almost impossible that another&#13;
year has gone by so quickly. [Although, I'm sure it feels&#13;
nice to survive your first year, lovely freshmen.] It doesn't&#13;
help that it's been quite a crazy semester, which only adds&#13;
to the surreal quality of these last few weeks. Not only&#13;
are finals approaching, but final projects and reports are&#13;
looming in the near distance, waiting to be written. So&#13;
close to freedom, and yet so far!&#13;
I would like to congratulate Maggie Lawler, Carl Rollmann,&#13;
and Ellen Pate-Bridgers for their recent appointments&#13;
into Executive Editor, Head of Photography, and&#13;
Public Relations. It will be amazing to work with them&#13;
next year in executive positions for The Ranger News', I&#13;
know they are going to help bring a lot of positive changes&#13;
to the paper!&#13;
Here's to hoping the weather warms up a bit more in&#13;
the next week. It's been a bit on the chilly side lately;&#13;
where did that beautiful spring weather go that we had a&#13;
couple of weeks ago?&#13;
Remember to check out some of the amazing events&#13;
coming up in the next week, including the one-man show&#13;
"The Stories of Cesar Chavez," a discussion on Asian&#13;
Beauty (for Asian Heritage Month), and more.&#13;
Also, remember to start studying for finals!&#13;
Tips on how to survive the big exams will come&#13;
in the next (and last!) issue, so stay tuned for&#13;
that! Until then, have an amazing week.&#13;

Police Safety Session at UW-Parkside&#13;

UW-Parkside extends its policing education opportunities by hosting Police&#13;
Safety sessions until May!&#13;
UW-Parkside is launching a month-long engagement to further enhance&#13;
the students' understanding of public safety and security. By usmgthe talents&#13;
of Parkside Police, and their dedication to life-long learning, UW-Parkside&#13;
will host hour-long sessions that cover a variety of topics including police&#13;
procedures, protecting your identity, safety on and off campus, and ways to&#13;
protect personal safety in extreme situations. Running now through 4 May,&#13;
these sessions will take place in Molinaro Hall every Wednesday at noon.&#13;
Students are excited to engage themselves in these opportunities, not just&#13;
because they are free, but also because they will help to enhance student&#13;
awareness and proper safety practices. Criminal Justice student Kurt Stadler&#13;
speaks about this opportunity: "1 think it's a good chance for students to experience&#13;
the real happenings within law enforcement, versus what you hear&#13;
and see through the media, including television and radio. 1 feel that it is important&#13;
for people to know how to keep themselves safe on and off campus,&#13;
and know what it is to live in a safe environment." A few of these safety&#13;
sessions will contain hands-on training, as well as theoretical explanation as&#13;
to why and how particular safety measures are implemented.&#13;
The sessions began on 4 April as new UW-Parkside Officer Craig Rafferty&#13;
addressed standard police procedures. On 11 April, Officer Kurt Bergendahl&#13;
facilitated an active shooter training session. Officer Rafferty returns&#13;
Wednesday, 18 April, with a program on identity theft, and on 2 May with&#13;
a program covering safety and responsibility on and off campus. Officer&#13;
Kelly Horvath will present a program on sexual assault on 25 April.&#13;
Public safety and education go hand-in-hand, and UW-Parkside is giving&#13;
| students the chance to experience this joint collaboration by offering free,&#13;
hour-long public safety sessions to students through 2 May. Don't miss this&#13;

Friday is the big day for UW-Parkside Theatre Students as William&#13;
Inge's Bus Stop opens at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre!&#13;
we open this grand project in Milwaukee. Ticket information can be found&#13;
at the Fine Arts Box Office at UW-Parkside. Bus Stop is filled with laughter,&#13;
drama, and a little bit of Shakespeare, for those who enjoy the classics. It is&#13;
The final installment of the UW-Parkside 2011-2012 Theatre bound to provide its audiences with an enchanting night in the theatre!&#13;
Arts season opens on Friday at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre. As a&#13;
collaborative project between UW-Parkside and Milwaukee Chamber&#13;
Theatre, Bus Stop provokes excitement in both Parkside and Milwaukee&#13;
audiences.&#13;
"I am looking forward to this collaborative project with extreme&#13;
excitement. In my years as Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at&#13;
UW-Parkside, and as a Board member at Milwaukee Chamber Theatre,&#13;
I have seen the work of both Parkside students and Chamber Actors.&#13;
The caliber of work between the two facilities is incredible. I can&#13;
only imagine what the 'meeting of the minds' will create in the final&#13;
product!" says Mr. Donald Cress in a recent interview.&#13;
Student actors Brenna Kempf, Ethan Hall, and Annie Walaszeck, are&#13;
ecstatic about opening this project to the public. "I am so excited to&#13;
share the work we have done with audiences across the board. Despite&#13;
the speedy rehearsal process, the value of the educational enrichment&#13;
of this experience is unlike any other. I will remember this opportunity&#13;
for the rest of my life!" says Brenna Kempf, who will be playing the&#13;
role of Elma.&#13;
Joining the students on stage is UW-Parkside Professor Jamie&#13;
Cheatham. Equally ecstatic, Cheatham is proud of the students' work,&#13;
and looks forward to a great opening on Friday.&#13;
Lisa Kornetsky, chairwoman of the Theatre Arts Department here&#13;
at UW-Parkside, is serving as Director of Bus Stop. With so much&#13;
excitement at her disposal, she cannot wait to open her project up to&#13;
the public.&#13;

How To: Looking at Graduate Programs&#13;
Emily Harring&#13;
Harri091@uwp.edu&#13;
For many UW-Parkside students, now is the time to say a fond&#13;
farewell and good wishes on their future successes. By this time,&#13;
many seniors wishing to go to graduate school have sent out their&#13;
applications and eagerly anticipate their acceptance (or, in some cases,&#13;
their decline) letters. The process of choosing which graduate schools&#13;
to apply to and when to begin setting up interviews with potential&#13;
universities should start sooner rather than later. Or many graduating&#13;
undergrads, the process began the spring semester of their junior year&#13;
in school. Thus, here are some helpful tips for any student on applying&#13;
to graduate schools and the factors that should go into any decision you&#13;
might make.&#13;
The first and most important factor on every student's mind is&#13;
tuition: how much will it cost to go to graduate school? Tuition prices&#13;
for graduate programs vary by school, as is the case with undergraduate&#13;
programs, however, in some cases tuition may be waved if the student&#13;
works in a teaching assistantship or fellowship program at the university.&#13;
The student, in most cases, is also given a stipend to live off of.&#13;
The student works their way through their graduate program, gaining&#13;
experience in the field. Loans are also available for prospective graduate&#13;
students. The best thing a student can do is research the top five or six&#13;
graduate schools with programs in their field of interest and compare&#13;
the tuition prices and see what scholarships, assistantships, grants, and&#13;
loans may be available for him or her. Unfortunately, graduate school&#13;
can be an expensive venture, but with the proper research, students can&#13;
try to find the best program available for them which ways in which to&#13;
help them pay for their education.&#13;
Another important aspect when researching graduate schools is to&#13;
look at where they are located. For some students, how far the graduate&#13;
school is from home is an important aspect. Students should also&#13;
research to see what is around the graduate school, in terms of places&#13;
of possible employment and places to relax, others places to study at,&#13;
and cafes or restaurants to eat at. Most university websites include&#13;
a map of where the university is located so students can see what is&#13;
around that particular school.&#13;
Another factor to look into is what is available in terms of research&#13;
facilities. Are there a variety of places or websites available to the&#13;
student for his or her researching needs? Students going into graduate&#13;
school have a field of interest they wish to study more and gain a degree&#13;
in, therefore, proper research facilities should be an important item&#13;
they look for when researching different universities. This information&#13;
can also be found on university websites, as well as from contacting&#13;
the university to receive more information.&#13;
Along the same lines, students should research both the faculty and&#13;
what staff members in their field of interest teach. Sometimes, certain&#13;
staff members may not teach classes that are appropriate towards&#13;

what the student wishes to study. The size of the faculty and how many&#13;
professors available in the student's program of interest is also important;&#13;
not only does researching the faculty familiarity the students with their&#13;
possible future professors, but it also gives them a chance to see what&#13;
professors are available to teach what subjects.&#13;
If possible, students should set up an appointment and visit any&#13;
university they may wish to apply to. Not only does this put a face to a&#13;
name when university administrators look over applications, but it also&#13;
shows administrators the level of dedication the student has towards both&#13;
that university and their education. This also gives the student a chance&#13;
to see the university he or she may attend in the future.&#13;
Applying for graduate schools can be a scary process and sometimes&#13;
the websites in which students are supposed to submit their applications&#13;
to are not the best suited websites. In this case, the student should see&#13;
their advisors. Advisors are there to help students succeed and many will&#13;
take the time to meet with the student and help them with the application&#13;
process. With the guidance of someone who has all ready gone through&#13;
the process, some of the stress is eased.&#13;
Starting the graduate school process early is beneficial and will only&#13;
help the student in the long run. There are plenty of guiding hands ready&#13;
to help students with the process if necessary here at UW-Parkside, so&#13;
get a jump start to your success and do not wait to begin your research.&#13;

UW-PARKSIDE PRESENTS "STORIES OF CESAR CHAVEZ"&#13;
APRIL 19&#13;
KENOSHA, Wis.—The University of Wisconsin-Parkside Politics,&#13;
Philosophy, and Law Department presents the one-man show "The&#13;
Stories of Cesar Chavez Thursday, April 19, on the campus located at&#13;
900 Wood Rd. in Kenosha. Written and performed by Fred Blanco, this&#13;
story of one man's fight for the equality and dignity of all people begins&#13;
at 7 p.m. in the Black Box Theatre of the Rita Tallent Picken Regional&#13;
Center for Arts and Humanities.&#13;
Cesar Chavez became a leader among Mexican-Americans when he&#13;
and Dolores Huerta formed the United Farm Workers (UFW) Movement.&#13;
Chavez fought for the rights of migrant farm laborers in the United&#13;
States, but his message was heard by all marginalized people regardless&#13;
of ethnicity, race, or nationality.&#13;
"Cesar's story needs to be told. The few times his life has been written&#13;
about and dramatized will never be enough," said Blanco. "What&#13;
could be more worthwhile than telling the story of a man who is so&#13;
highly respected by Latinos and so worthy of being understood and respected&#13;
by everyone? His legacy isn't just for Chicanos or Latinos. It is&#13;
for all people."&#13;
Blanco added that Chavez's served as a voice for millions of unrepresented&#13;
and under-represented people in the U.S. and around the world.&#13;
"His phrase 'Si, se puede' —'Yes, you can'—is a rallying cry for all&#13;
groups who seek change," he said.&#13;
Admission to this fascinating portrayal of Cesar Chavez is free and&#13;
everyone is invited to attend.&#13;
The UW-Parkside Politics, Philosophy, and Law Department is&#13;
joined by the University's Center for International Studies, the Center&#13;
for Ethnic Studies, Women and Gender Studies, the departments of Sociology/Anthropology,&#13;
Communication, and Theatre, the Lecture and&#13;
Fine Arts Committee, and the College of Arts and Sciences in sponsoring&#13;
this event.&#13;
