To be honest, I have no idea who my political leader is. With that said, it is my goal to remain as unbiased as possible when writing this. I have only voted in one other presidential election, so this "voting thing" is still a little new to me. I have regarded my research for a presidential candidate like I would research for a paper—except this paper that could impact the rest of my life, my children's lives, and the entire country. No pressure. Here are the major presidential candidates (in alphabetical order) and what they stand for on a myriad of different issues: Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party): Abortion—The woman's right to choose until fetal viability Economics—No bank bailout; stop incurring debt and balance the budget Civil Rights—Support gay unions; government should stay out of marriage and business Corporation—Eliminate corporate tax; lower tax burden Crime—Opposes the death penalty; legalization of drugs cuts crime Education—Public education needs reform; vouchers for K-12th graders to make schools more competitive Barack Obama (Democratic Party): Abortion—Trust women to make own decision about partial-birth abortion; can find common ground between pro-life and pro-choice Economics—Across the board tax cuts won't stimulate the economy; push mortgage refinancing, banks pay deficit of trust Civil Rights—Supports gay marriage; defend freedom and equality under law Corporation—Lower tax rate to 25% as incentive of investment; end tax breaks on jobs shipped overseas Crime—Death penalty should be enforced fairly and not discriminate by gang membership Education—More education funding in early education through Pell grants; make community colleges community career centers Mitt Romney (Republican Party): Abortion—Pro emergency contraception; prolife; no punishment for women who have partialbirth abortions Economics—Stimulus package is a war on free enterprise; build middle class Civil Rights—Supports women in leadership positions; supports domestic partnership benefits instead of civil unions Corporation—Raising taxes on businesses eliminates jobs; no tax breaks for shipping jobs overseas Crime—Supports death penalty; private companies should run prisons Education—No cuts to college funds; Cap Pell grants so they only increase with the rate of inflation; don't overwhelm college students with loan debt Jill Stein (Green Party): Abortion—Maintain abortion rights; provide free birth control Economics—Stimulus plan was not big enough Civil Rights—Pro gay marriage; economy is not fully inclusive Corporation—Make corporate tax subsidies transparent Crime—Death penalty and mandatory sentencing is ineffective; supports the legalization of marijuana Education—Establish the right to free college; supports tuition free education These are only some of the issues that the election covers. Take an unbiased look for yourself to see which candidate's ideas best fit with your own, and be informed when you vote because these decisions could impact the rest of your life as well as those of future generations. Photos by: Raymone Pajarillo Everyone was all smiles on the Bridge to show their support for breast cancer awareness. Clearly there isn't enough pink. One boob at a time Jennifer Schmidt schmi 157 @ uwp .edu Every shade of pink imaginable decorated the interior of the bridge connecting University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Student Center to Molinaro Hall this past Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sandwiched in with tickets to see Joe Biden, bubble tea, and Brewer's memorabilia raffles, three tables promoting breast cancer awareness took up the center of the bridge. The glowing pink hues could be seen far past the line of students waiting impatiently for their ticket to see Vice President Joe Biden. By 11:30 a.m., an intrigued crowd had gathered. Hosted by a half dozen of enthusiastic members of the Parkside Association of Communicators, they grabbed attention with pleas for breast cancer awareness: "SAVE THE TA-TAS!" The Boobies on the Bridge event had a Wheel of Boobies, complete with candy and trivia questions, $2 pink manicures, a raffle with prizes that included donations from acupuncture clinics to Barnes and Noble gift cards, pin the bra on the boobies, and a Mardi Gras themed game to throw a necklace of beads on a boob. Yes, you read that correctly, beads on a boob. Not only did Parkside Association of Communicators (PAC) hand out brochures of information, but rounds of trivia, hosted by WIPZ program director, Brad Stefani, squashed breast cancer myths. Can men get breast cancer? (They can.) Is wearing an under-wire bra a contributing factor to breast cancer? (No it is not.) Luckily for the students of UW-Parkside, "Captain Boobie" made frequent appearances at the event. Dressed as a masked hero in pink (clad in pink boxers, a cape, and fuchsia bra) Captain Boobie made it his mission to set out and defeat breast cancer one boobie at a time. Even the most stoic cynics grinned at the sight of Captain Boobie and Ranger Bear, fighting together for justice See Boobies page 4 The Ranger News October 30,2012 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 Maggie Lawler lawle020@ uwp .edu Lead Photographer: Carl Rollmann rollm001@uwp.edu Staff Reporters: James Burns burns029@uwp.edu Laura Ellen Pate Bridgers patebOOl @ uwp.edu Nick Knebel knebeOO 1 @uwp .edu Adrienne Trumbo trumb005@uwp.edu Jennifer Schmidt schmil57@uwp.edu Ryan Padlo padlo006@uwp.edu Copy Editors: Photographers: Cartoonist: Designers: James Burns burns029@uwp.edu Michael Jensen jense089@ uwp .edu Hailey Foglio fogli001@uwp.edu Nick Knebel knebeOO 1 @uwp.edu Carl Rollmann rollm001@uwp.edu Raymone Pajarillo pajarOO 1 @uwp.edu Zak Eden eden0001@uwp.edu Walter Trush trush002@uwp .edu Maggie Lawler 1 awle020@ uwp .edu MISSION STATEMENT: THE RANGER NEW S STRIVES TO I NFORM, EDUcate, AND EN GAGE TH E UW-PARKSIDE COMMUNITY BY PUBLISHING WELL-WRITTEN, ACCURATE STUDENT JOURNALISM ON A B I-WEEKLY BASIS, AS WELL AS ONLINE.

A period of about two weeks when all my brain wants to do is sleep for about forever. Forever sounds a bit too short, in fact. It's slightly terrifying that we only have six weeks left. When did that happen? There's not enough coffee, tea, and folk music in the world to prepare me for the onslaught of assignments that will be due in the upcoming weeks. My advice to the rest of you that suffer from the same predicament? Don't try to tackle everything at the same time. Organize your time so that you get everything done, but you also get some free time to let your brain rest. You're going to need it. Amazing things have been happening around campus. Vice-President Biden visiting campus was particularly exciting last week. The Theatre Department just wrapped up their first show, Threepenny Opera, and now prepare to wow us with their next fantastic performance. All sorts of awesome Halloween events will take place this week, too! So, join in on the fun. Halloween is the best holiday, after all. Remember in this next week to vote, as well.

The opening whistle blew to start the game. Before I could even bat an eye, the lady Rangers scored the first goal of the game. Madison Pickett bombed a lead pass down field to Ashley Meyer, who shielded off a defender with her body to receive the pass cleanly. Ashley then floated the ball ever so perfectly over the UIS goalkeepers head into the net, while still be harassed by the pesky UIS defender who was hanging around like a nat. The lady Rangers made it known to UIS that their presence on the field was strong, and that UIS had no shot to win. The lady Rangers kept up the pressure on at the offensive end like you would with gauze to an open wound. UIS was struggling to even touch the ball, let alone clear the ball out of their zone. UIS had a few brief moments in the second half where they looked to score, but those moments were quickly taken away by the strong defense of the lady Rangers. Overall the lady Rangers dominated the game from the opening whistle to the final whistle. This 1-0 victory was a defensive masterpiece. Great win, ladies, and best of luck in the GLVC tournament!

Ryan Padlo padlo006@ uwp .edu On Friday, October 12th, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Rangers' men's' soccer team squared off against University of Illinois-Springfield. The Rangers started off the game like bats out of hell. They swarmed around the goal, and there was nothing the UIS defense could do about it. UW- Parkside had two outstanding corner kicks within the first ten minutes. Unfortunately, neither attempt could be converted with a header. The Rangers kept the ball moving with great cuts and timely passes. The Rangers were also doing a great job with communication on the field to help warn teammates when a UIS defender would approach a Ranger player from behind to try and steal the ball away. Somewhere in the middle of the first half, momentum changed to UIS. After the momentum shift, UIS became the aggressors on offense. The Rangers were in a constant back petal on defense trying to defend the goal. With each team taking each other's best shot. The first half ended zero-to-zero. The second half is when the Rangers made their money. The first goal came when the Rangers were pushing the ball downfield on offense with little resistance from the UIS defense. The ball was passed from the middle to the right side of the field. As the ball was passed the UIS goalkeeper slipped and fell. This was a golden opportunity that the Rangers capitalized on. Collin Monahan dropped a dime to Ryan Crane, who wound up and struck the ball so hard that I felt bad for the ball. This goal gave the momentum back to the Rangers. At this point there was no looking back for the Rangers, and the whole team had a renewed sense of self-confidence. The second goal was another golden opportunity offered up by the UIS goalkeeper. The Rangers were back on the attack and took a shot on goal that was saved by the UIS goalkeeper, but the UIS goalkeeper then dropped the ball when he was coming down with the ball. Collin Monahan was the recumbent of the gift given up by the UIS goalkeeper, and chipped in the ball for the goal. It was an exciting match and a great win for the program with this 2-1 victory over University of Illinois-Springfield. uw Ryan Padlo padlo006@ uwp .edu Since I have come to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside this fall, I have found out a few things about Wisconsinites and their sports. Wisconsinites love the Packers, the brew crew has a pretty strong following, and no one likes the Bucks unless you are from Milwaukee. The other big thing that I have noticed is that everyone on campus has an abundance of Badger sports gear and are proud to show off the red and white. After talking to a lot of different students here on campus I have found out that there is a bigger following for the Badgers at each individual University of Wisconsin campus, then there is of their own University of Wisconsin sports team. When I started to ask around where to get tickets for a Badgers football game everyone told me to go to Stubhub.com. The cheapest tickets I could find on Stubhub.com were sixty-five dollars. I was kind of blown away that there was nothing cheaper. I was still optimistic that I could still go to a game, and experience the third quarter jump around. That was until I started to do the math for what it would cost, besides the ticket, to go the game. Gas would cost forty dollars, and food and drinks I bring from home would be another twenty dollars. I am a broke college kid that could scrounge up the sixty-five dollars, but I do not have an extra one-hundred twenty dollars laying around. I started to ask students around campus who were wearing Badgers gear when the last time was that they went to a Badgers football game. Junior Brad Schmitz from Fond du lac, Wisconsin said, "I have not been to a Badgers football game in at least five years because I do not have the extra cash to go to the game." I asked Kevin Lewis, a sophomore transfer student from University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, said, "I only go to the game when my parents go. I don't have money to spend on a football game right now." Student Nichole Bletsch stated, "I love the Badgers! I always watch the games at home with my boyfriend or dad. I just don't have money to go to a game. I really want to go because I have never been to one." It would ease the total cost of the trip to the game if Madison would give a 15 % to 30% discount to all University of Wisconsin students. If Madison is worried about not having enough tickets for Madison students, they could only allow a certain number of tickets, maybe twenty to thirty, to the two-year University of Wisconsin campuses. Then give fifty to one-hundred tickets to the four-year University of Wisconsin campuses. If there are leftover tickets at one school, they can be used at another University of Wisconsin campus. They would also be able to create a new student section for all the transfer students. This would make the games even rowdier then they already are. I just hope that they adopt this policy sometime while I am up at UW-Parkside so I can attend a Badgers game.

The seat I chose was unassuming and towards the back, behind a guy in a green shirt. Here, I figured, I would not be bothered when taking notes. Democrat Rob Zerban, who is running against Paul Ryan to represent Wisconsin's 1st Congressional District, walked in the door sporting a while button up shirt, with sleeves rolled to his elbows, and pleated navy trousers. His gray hair was perfectly coifed. He talked about his life growing up on "government cheese" and starting his own small business that eventually grew into a larger catering business. Zerban spoke of fiscal responsibility and living within a person's means. He also noted that in order to be efficient in office, both parties would have to become more moderate in their standings. In regards to education, Zerban said that "not everybody should have a college education" but rather those who want it should "work hard to earn it," and then the government would pay for the education. He spoke of having a strong military but "not a bloated defense budget," which echoes his idea of being fiscally responsible. I got the chance to ask Zerban what issues he considers important for young voters to pay attention to; his response, "Women's health, student loans and Pell grants, and the economic environment. I also asked him about how he would prevent fraud in state-run health care programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, because he proposed having affordable state healthcare for people. He told me that he would have "to look into specific cases" of fraud in order to give me an answer. I was disappointed in this answer because it had no substance or specificity. Although Zerban did not answer my question, he spoke to the Zerban speaking in the Student Activity Center this past Friday. students and people of the community with ease and confidence. He fully believes in what he says and stands for. Although he gave me a crap answer about health care, he showed appreciation to the University Democrats for letting him speak and to students who showed up to hear him. So, am I now a democrat? No. Am I now a republican? No. But it's still important to learn about local politics because they often affect us more directly than national politics. Do I know who is getting my vote? Certainly not, but at least I know more than I did previously and this will aid in my decision, as I hope it does yours. It's also important to not let a brief, unpleasant encounter with one side or the other alter your perception on what that side stands for. What matters is the information, not the biases. Grad school seminar for English majors Boobies: Parksidians Students learn how to prepare for Master and Doctorate degrees sllOW James Bums burns029@ uwp .edu Wednesday, October 17, 2012 proved to be an interesting day for English majors at an informational seminar about graduate school. Most have heard of it, a few maybe even have thought about it, but how much do students really know? After working so hard to accomplish a milestone that may be a first for many families, students are thinking to themselves, "Could 1, should I, would I go?" That is precisely what students came to find out and the English Department staff did not disappoint. The seminar began with introductions. All professors who spoke at the seminar were new to the UW-Parkside English Department. They consisted of Assistant Professors Dr. John Spartz and Dr. Tara Pederson, as well as Lecturer Nicole Tryling, M.F.A. They presented a series of resources that students could use to do research about different schools, what concentrations they should be focusing on, career paths, and even ways to offset the cost of attendance. Dr. Spartz even went so far as to supply the artfully crafted blog that was created specifically for the seminar. At englishgradschool.wordpress.com, you can find guides to different grad schools, information on how to apply, and many pages about books to read, helpful advice, and even a page titled, "Preparing for Graduate School: 10 tips on successfully applying to a Ph.D. program and 10 definite don'ts." They stressed as a group that there is a distinct difference between going to graduate school for a Master's degree, and going for a Doctorate. First, both are a path into academia, the Doctorate more so for pursuing tenure-track teaching positions. Of course, those are not only competitive, but extremely scarce. This brings to light the importance of looking inward when thinking about advanced education. It is what Dr. Tara Pederson called, "The scary moment when you face the real world." A reality check of sorts, where you start to evaluate your reasons for going, your plans after graduation, your career goals and other aspirations. Nicole Tryling mused when asked about her experience with her own degree in literature, "Graduate school is not for everyone. I look back on my degree with great memories. I occasionally want to go back to that [time], but you should be sure before making a decision." All was not gloom and doom, however. It was repeatedly said that a desire to acquire more refined skills in one's field, a sincere calling to teach, and deep academic passion were all decent reasons to consider higher education. The presentation focused on making an informed, educated decision "Everyone is a winner who fights the evil scourge of breast cancer!" thundered the righteous Captain Boobie. "We're forcing them to be informed!" PAC member, Alyssa Kay, says of die event. "It's a great cause and IW glad everyone's having fun!" No one could have been having more fun than PAC President Mila. Accumulating a pink Santa hat, pink mustache, and a clown nose, she whistled and danced around the bridge, celebrating correctly answered trivia a wild bouquet of pink balloons Cancer does not see gender," asserts the president, fo keep with the trend of information and fun, PAC members encouraged students to attend the upcoming discussion with the Susan G. Komen foundation in the ballroom, hosted by the Latinos Unidos club. After this article alone mentioned boobs at least fifteen times, wouldn't you want to find out more? as opposed to choosing to go to graduate school to give yourself more experience, or some similar response that arose out of confusion and indecisiveness. Instead of chasing more education, your time could be better spent getting job experience, volunteering at internships (yes, even if ey re unpaid), all while cultivating useful skills for employment in your field. Before wrapping up the discussion, Dr. Spartz gave a final bit of advice, centered on self-doubt and instinct, uP on experiences and testimony of friends and colleagues: 'If you can think of a reason not to go, don't."

Adrienne Trumbo trumb005@uwp.edu October is National Archives Month. This does not just show that old documents are important; rather, it gives historical signifi ­ cance to local buildings and persons. This year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the network of archives of the Wisconsin Historical Society. In 1962, regional depositories of archives became active area research centers to make use of the spaces that had merely become dead storage for the documents. This allowed for easier access for community members and students. The University of Wisconsin-Farkside signed an archivist agreement in 1972 (only four years after being founded) with the Wisconsin Historical Society to maintain a safe environment to house and preserve these treasured documents. University of Wisconsin-Parkside Archives offers more than just old books and papers. It holds a variety of interesting documents including: Racine and Kenosha county records, court records, and naturalization records and citizen papers. Special collections in the archives include old books—the oldest written in pre-modern English. These can be used to help with genealogy, property records, and for the use of preservation for century home designation. Manuscript records are available for court records as well as business, church, or personal papers of people who have contributed to the city. The archives, for the most part, are intact. This is in thanks to security measures that involve registering—so the Historical Society can keep record of what documents are used while not allowing any food or drink near the documents. The careful handling of the documents helps to maintain their integrity. The U WParkside Archives (located in the basement of the Library) offers the opportunity to learn about local history, personal genealogy, and a breadth of knowledge that is centuries old to both students and community members. in Adrienne Trumbo trumb005 @ uwp .edu Graduating from college is both exciting and scary. Perhaps it is the 4+ years of studying, late nights, and papers that consumed our lives for so long that anything else seems frightening. Or perhaps it is the legitimate concern of not finding a job. Yes, the latter weighs heavily on our minds, but how can it not? We have gone to school, done the work, and have been rewarded with a diploma that says we are capable of being contributing members of society. Is it enough? Some graduates decide going into the workforce right away is not for them, and graduate school is a more appealing option. For that, I commend you. It takes a special person who is fully dedicated to their studies and higher education to be able to do that—as many people have learned from the graduate school lectures that occurred last week. I'm not a part of that group. So my question is: what next? What is out there for us who have little idea what they are up against? With the unemployment rate in Wisconsin at 7.3% and with a projected growth of only 1.7% in 2013, jobs may be hard to come by. This doesn't mean jobs are not available—it just depends on a person's job skill, degree, or area of interest. The fasted growing careers in Wisconsin are in health care. This is encouraging, but only for those who desire to be in health care; but for the rest of us, there is still hope. According to Monster.com, teaching is projected to have a 32% growth rate by 2018, accountants and auditors will have a growth of 22%, and construction laborers will see a growth of 20%. These are hopeful numbers for the future but what about now? Because these are projected growths, it does not mean these increases are not happening yet. It just takes patience to find that right job. Often times the specific degree does dictate the job you will end up with. Just because you have a degree in computer science or biology does not mean that you will end in those fields. The key is to have an open mind. There is a lot of change happening, especially with elections and changes in policies, but it seems that the overarching theme of finding a job is being open to new experiences. It can be scary not knowing exactly what job will be in your future, but know that there are some out there that could be just for you. It may take a few years, or a few jobs but it will happen. & Looking back on the presidential debates James Burns burns029@ u wp .edu With the second Presidential Debate under our belts, students are taking stock of where they stand between the two political tickets. This most recent debate focused on foreign and domestic policy. The candidates touched on such varied issues as the growing economic stare-down between the United States and China, immigration reform, and even the tense situation in Libya involving the assassination of the late U.S. Ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens. There is certainly a lot of talk surrounding the two lambasting each other over trivial sound bites, and tearing each other a new one to make up for what they perceive to be a disadvantage in the polls. Obama hit early and often in the debate, seeking perhaps, to gain lost ground after his underwhelming performance in the first debate. Some with leanings towards Obama were blindsided by this uncharacteristically floundering oratory, especially from someone as allegedly eloquent as he is. Atli Einarsson, 19, an Icelandic national who moved to the United States to go to school in 2003 on a student visa, had this to say about the candidates: "I think Obama's first 10 minutes were to assert himself in this second debate. Maybe he was a bit too eager, I don't know, but I can't speak on it considering I'm not a citizen." He also said of Romney's take on immigration reform that, "... [He] had a good point about illegal immigration. If a person contributed to the economy, they should be given an easier path to citizenship. The green card should be much easier to acquire for those people." Nick Huftalin, 20, a sophomore Biology major is staunchly in the ReVice President Biden flashing some Parkside gear Friday, publican camp. Supporting Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan because he believes them to be better economists. "They run for more of my values. Paul Ryan, to me, is much more connected to the typical middle class. Whether or not they outline their plans. 1 believe in their ideas more than Barack Obama and Biden's." This is a far cry from the rhetoric of 2008, this year's election is shaping up to be a close and bitter contest of attrition. The future president win have h ' s work cut for them. With two wars, an economic crisis not seen since the 1930s (which is perhaps worse) and an increasingly complicated globalized world stage upon which he must lead the country, he is charged with leading us out of what seems like one of the most tumultuous decades in recent memory.

Its fame was largely due to its explosion in P°Pulanty as a midnight movie in 1977, when audiences began pa lcipating with the film m theaters by dressing up as characters from the film and causing all sorts of mayhem. Some cinemas showing the film have run it for decades at a time. There are two basic versions of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, known as the US and UK releases. The UK version contains the original ending with the full version of the musical number "Super Heroes." The US version, created after the film hit the midnight circuit, omits "Super Heroes," as the studio thought it was too depressing.

Movies like Saving Private Ryan and Rags of Our Fathers show World War II from the military perspective, but what about the civilians who are swept up into the storm? Those many millions who just happened to be living in the towns, on the farms, and in the cities that the armies occupied were exposed to a kind of violence that is so far beyond what is normal experience. People sometimes forget that when war is declared, it has a way of creeping into our homes, and just as easily into our heads. Set in 1945 Holland near the end of the war, Winter in Wartime follows the German occupation and its effects on a young Dutch boy, his family, and their small town. Our hero is 13-year-old Michiel, played brilliantly by Martijn Lakemeier. He is a fairly innocent boy, but he is conflicted. His fear of the Nazis keeps him somewhat silent, but there is a spark of rebellious distrust in him which we see during his interactions with his family, especially his father, the mayor of the town, played by Raymond Thiry. He sees his father as something of a sympathizer despite his assurances that he is merely appeasing the Germans in order to wait out the last few months of the war. The relationship is further strained with Michiel's Uncle Ben (Yorick Van Wageningen) who participates in the underground antiNazi resistance in town. Michiel looks up to both of them for very different reasons and he frequently is torn between the two men when it comes to whose advice he should take, especially now that he is starting to navigate the difficult period of adolescence. Things are further complicated when a British aircraft crashes in the forest outside of town and Michiel is steered inexorably on a course he cannot turn back from. Barring Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan, his two HBO television series Band of Brothers, and more recently, The Pacific, I haven't seen a movie with such subtle human themes among all the tension that comes with wartime conflict. This is surprisingly more engaging when you realize none of these characters that you're following are soldiers. They're all just regular civilians, Everyday ordinary people who are reacting to extraordinary circumstances in their own way and trying to live through them, hoping that if they play their cards right, they'll survive. 8 The Ranger News October 30,2012 What is Cool? 311 Zak Eden Eden001@uwp.edu The Adventures of Pineapple and Bear Part 3: Messing with the Owl Walter Trush trush002@ uwp .edu Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
