Second annual Bilingual Open House deemed successful Alyssa Kay kay00003 @ uwp ,edu On Saturday, 21 January, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside lts 001s f°r ^ts second ever Bilingual Open House. While ar si e s Office of Admissions and New Student Services as a ways dedicated itself to providing student services, such as open ouses, this bilingual event was unique, as it marketed itself towar s Hispanic students and was conducted entirely in Spanish. e event generated a great turnout from both families and high sc ool groups. Badger High School, located in Lake Geneva, bussed in their potential students who wanted to get a slice of college. As the event commenced, Admissions Advisor and Bilingual Open House coordinator Mirella Rivera gave her admissions presentation, where she discussed admissions requirements, high school transcripts, projected costs, athletics, student involvement, and major and minor programs. "We hope to make people well aware of what Parkside has to offer them, the steps to apply to get here and how to achieve success at Parkside," said Rivera. Rivera handed the microphone off to special guest Leonor McCall-Rodriguez, who gave a motivational presentation about opportunity and the importance of education. "I think it is always important for students to remember what differentiates people who succeed from those who don't is that the ones who succeed are willing to do things that the others are not," said McCall- Rodriguez Many of the students and teachers enjoyed both Rivera and McCall- Rodriquez's presentations, and they learned a lot about the college experience. "I loved the motivational speaker," said Badger High School teacher Joe Reed. "It was also really nice to see that your guidance representative was a bilingual graduate of this university, and that she showed her success to the students." "I am getting excited!" said a student attendee from Badger High School. "Today, I found out that Parkside has the Pre-dentistry program that I want to study," "1 understood what [Leonor] was saying and where she was coming from. I think it was a great presentation and it had a good message," said another Badger High School junior. After McCall-Rodriguez gave her presentation, the students were divided into groups, with whom they attended workshops on college preparation and financial aid. The students then regrouped for a catered PricewaterhouseCoopers, John Hawksworth, predicted that China would economically be "way ahead of the US by 2030" with an average economic growth consecutively being over 8% during these recession years, peaking at 10.2% in 2010. With this expanding economy, the United States is thinking ahead to international business agreements and foreign investments. The Business and Technology Department at University of Wisconsin Parkside cannot help but notice this economic opportunity that could arise from international student education opportunities. "Business is not just local, it's not just national, it's global and the education we're providing our students also needs to be global," Dean Fred Ebeid recently noted at a SBT meeting. "Our eyes have been opened to the world and we have moved to significantly increase foreign enrollment." Efforts for foreign education incentives have been spearheaded by the Global Education Board. Its director, Jamie Wang and the university's chancellor, Debbie Ford, have made multiple trips to China and plan on finalizing negotiations for partnership programs for Parkside's students this fall. With such incentives becoming offered in the near future, it is exciting to see that Parkside is now offering a 3-credit (2-credit for MBA students) China study tour in the summer of 2012 from May 15 to May 31 as a stepping stone to future study partnerships. Students on this summer tour will visit three cities (Beijing, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong), visit cultural and tourist attractions (such as the Great Wall and the Forbidden City), become immersed in the Chinese language and culture, as well as attend lectures on Chinese trade and commerce with its government.

One of the tours was entirely in Spanish, and the other was in English. The program was an effort from Rivera and Assistant Director of Admissions Cassie Vosters. Both Vosters and Rivera stressed the importance of achieving educational and career goals, and their aim was to promote Parkside's diverse campus as a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for students from all walks of life.

Saint Joseph's leads the all-time series against UW-Parkside, 21-11. The last two meetings between the teams came down to the final possessions, with UWParkside pulling ahead in glorious victory. However, it was yet another defeat for the men's basketball team at DeSimone Gymnasium. UW-Parkside went on to drop the home match-up, 85-94. UW-Parkside began the game sloppily. The team started off wth a couple of low percentage shots and communication errors. In the early portions of the contest both teams traded inside the key in a rough and tough elbow match to determine who has the most testosterone. Ten minutes into the game, Saint Joseph lead by a score of 21-17. Neither team looked to have a clear advantage. At the nine-minute mark, UW-Parkside's men's basketball head coach Luke Reigel determined they only want to send three to the boards. In a close game, junior forward Conrad Krutwig nailed a beautiful turn-around jumper tying the game at 27 with seven minutes remaining in the first half. In a close grudge match, between the bottom two teams in the GLVC East Conference, the score rested at 37-37 by the end of the first half. The points in the paint were a huge factor in the first half, capitalized by Saint Joseph's 18 points. Second chance points were equal for both teams at eight a piece. Starting off the second half, both high-powered offenses really start to show. Junior forwards Jeremy Saffold and Konrad Krutwig capitalized by hitting consecutive three-pointers, which gave UW-Parkside a then comfortable seven-point cushion. In desperate hopes of forcing UWParkside into making mistakes, Saint Joseph's started applying full-court pressure. The defensive pressure helped Saint Joseph's pull back within three, and forced a UW-Parkside timeout. Just when UW-Parkside looked its most vulnerable, sophomore guard Colt Grandstaff knocked down a baseline three-pointer to keep UW-Parkside ahead. With eleven minutes remaining in the game, the fast breaks really started to take affect. The change in tempo pushed Saint Joseph's to its first lead of the game, by a score of 60 to 58. Saint Joseph's continued to rally, forcing UW1" Parkside to take yet another timeout. As the game progressed, UW-Parkside's defense was in shambles. The lead for Saint Joseph's leapt to a commanding thirteen-point lead with 2:30 remaining. The rest of the game seemed to be on cruise control for the visitors, Photo by Cedric Ray culminating in the final score of 85-94. be Thursday February 2nd against Bellarmine University.

Rangers continue to roll with win LutteOO 1 @ uwp .edu Parkside women continue to take the lead The UW- Parkside women's basketball team tipped off against Saint Joseph's College Thursday night in DeSimone Gymnasium. Both teams entered with a GLVC record of 6-3, and was an intense bout that saw UW-Parkside come out on top, 75-71. I caught up with Senior Guard Amy Selk and asked her what her thoughts were on tonight's game against St. Joseph. "Saint Joseph's is one of the hottest teams in the conference," said UW-Parkside senior guard Amy Selk. "They have very athletic guards and containing their penetration is a key to get the victory tonight. Every GLVC game is a battle. I definitely view Saint Joseph's as a top contender in the conference. We just have to stay focused and play Ranger basketball." Whenever these two programs link up it proves to be a tightly fought match up. Coming into this game, UW-Parkside lead the series between the two colleges, 21-20. Their last meeting, on February, 19 2011, UW-Parkside won on the road 67-51. After the first half, Saint Joseph's led 40-35. The field goal percentage for UW-Parkside and Saint Joseph's were both below 50%: UW-Parkside 48.3% and Saint Joseph's 46.9 %. The leading scorer at halftime for UW-Parkside was junior guard Jenna Endisch. For the St. Joseph Puma's their leading scorer was senior guard Montrell Mills. UW-Parkside came out strong in the second half. With 6:06 left in the second half, UW-Parkside trailed 58-65. With 0:28 left in the game, UW-Parkside led the game 73-69. The final score for the game was 75-71. "We made some big plays when we needed it," said UW-Parkside women's head coach Jenny Kenesie. The leading scorer for UW-Parkside was senior forward Brittany Beyer with 21 points and six rebounds. This year's senior class is now four wins away from becoming the most winning group in school history.

While events like the bilingual open house promote diversity, expanding Parkside's ethnic range was not the sole intention of the event. Of the roughly 3,700 full time students, approximately 415 identify themselves as Hispanic. While not all of the students who identify themselves as Hispanic consider Spanish their first language, the Bilingual Open House accommodated Hispanic families and students and attempted to expand the general Hispanic community at Parkside. The Bilingual Open House provided students who speak Spanish in their homes with a level of comfortability in a setting that is less than familiar, as it was some of the students' first times visit a college campus. "It is not about promoting that we have Spanish speaking students. It is promoting the idea that we have a family and a network that will support you at UW-Parkside," said Vosters. In addition to comfortability, the aim of the presentations was to help Hispanic high school students set goals and plan adequately depending upon where they were in their high school career. "I think it all goes back to the idea that college is attainable," said Vosters. "When you have a motivational speaker, who talks about the bigger picture of the goals, then the supporting sessions really identify that it is attainable at UW-Parkside," As the second Bilingual Open House was a success, Admissions counselors hope that the students walked away with an enhanced value for education, and a clear ambition to pursue a degree. "Education is possible," said Rivera. "It starts at a young age. It starts with preparation. It starts with setting yourself up with some goals, and setting yourself up to achieve them." . . . Global: The School of Business and Technology looks towards the future The cost of the study tour is $2,995 which includes international and domestic airfare, hotels, ground transportation, tickets to all cultural sites, and most meals. Financial aid is available for those who qualify with a $1,500 study tour grant which will reduce cost to $1,495. Only five spots are left available and whoever is interested should contact the International Studies Office at GRNQ 210 for the deposit or email Dr. Wang with any questions at wangz@uwp.edu. Deadlines are 1 Feb 2012. International student involvement is an amazing opportunity for UWParkside's learning environment. With the advancement of the upcoming Chinese partnership, International business and relations will potentially influence future partnerships around the world, putting UW-Parkside in the global arena. 6 The Ranger News January 31,2012 Dorm life decline Nicole Zizich zizich002@ u wp .edu Are you a dorm devotee or will you be keeping your distance by living off campus? Everybody has different housing preferences and recently with the status of our economy, the declining population of dorm dwellers at University of Wisconsin-Parkside is no surprise. Every semester, many students have to ask themselves if saving money by living off campus is worth sacrificing the experience of dorm life. There is certainly an experience to have, but it comes with a price tag. Why else would so many movies reference the college dorm room environment? It exists and it's real. There is something magical about staying up at 4 a.m. with a group of strangers and watching them turn into your best friends. However, what you have to consider is that another significant purpose of on-campus living exists that isn't catered to by media. Are you there for the suggested experience or are you going there to complete your education? While the close proximity that the dorms have to classrooms is most appealing to an aspiring scholar, some feel that the distractions they promote to students outweigh the location aspect. I think dorms are more distracting to my education than they are beneficial because of all the activities. There's so much to do so it's easy to push aside your studies," says freshman Leah Bauer. However, some feel that managing to live on your own (or at least in a place where you have your own space) is better than the toll on your sleep, study, and sanity that can present itself with life at home. "Living on campus is better because I only have to deal with my own problems and not family problems. I'm just responsible for myself and no one else," explains freshman Brittany Pawlicki. Not all on-campus students have the ease of mere self-responsibility. Resident Advisors are constantly on watch, assuring that the policies of the dormitory are enforced. They have sacrificed weeks of their holiday breaks building leadership skills to prepare for the interactions they will have with the residents and amongst the RAs themselves. In return, UWParkside offers Resident Advisors a free room in their designated section of authority and a free meal plan. "The responsibility I have as an RA isn't just worth a free room, it's worth more. I've met different people. My job has opened doors and opportunities for me I'd never have otherwise had. It's not easy though because sometimes we're up late when we have tests in the morning - it's exhausting," explains junior Erin Ryan. For the rest of the residents that are paying the full cost of living on campus, the question of whether or not the price is worth the ten minute walks from our beds to class is worth it. While Ranger Hall has a lot to offer, it's also lacking in some aspects that other UW campuses are not. "No, I don't think what we pay is worth staying here. In the dorms at UW-Whitewater and UW-Milwaukee, everyone who enters the dorms is carded, RA's make you register guests, and you are limited to three. Anyone can get into UW-Parkside's dorms by knocking. I don't like how some random guy could be in the hall while I'm heading to the bathroom," states junior Jasmine Anderson. There are surely positives of the dorm life experience, including the social life. Unlike commuters, dorm residents get frequent interaction with their peers all hours of the day. Whether it's brushing your teeth next to that guy who sits behind you in Biology, running in the basement weight room with that girl who makes your grande latte at Starbucks, or See Dorm page 7 What is happening to on-campus living? johns376@ uwp!e du Number of resident hall students decreasing since beginning of semester Is it a social trend?

While media often portrays the experience as either wildly fun and entertaining {American Pie 2) or incredi y orrid (The Roommate), in reality, it's a life lesson about selflessness and compromise. While some welcome the challenge, others could hardly stand it. Having a roommate gives you someone to talk to and the comfort of avmg at least one friend. It's someone to just hang out with, to go get food with. Not having one is lonely," states junior Sarah Nicewander. According to freshman Aron Yohannes, "My roommates been really good. No problems. Just roommates and that's it, and that's how it's supposed to be." "Well first of all, I [have] weird habits and she did too. We didn't agree, there was no middle ground between us because she wanted it her way and I wanted it my way. It was always awkward tension," says Janiyah Burney. Since you ve lived at home already, I'd encourage you to experience the residence hall lifestyle at UW-R See how you like it. If you do, it may result in a much more convenient education, and while you're there you may just find your roommate who was meant to be lifelong best friends with you. If you don't enjoy it, then you can always move back home or move into an apartment off campus with your friends. You never know how terrible or awesome it's going be until you try it. It's one of those college experiences worth trying for both the positives and negatives. While the expense of a dormitory on top of tuition payments is difficult on all of us, some experiences of growing up are priceless. 1 he Rita opens at UW-Parkside Bobby Johnson johns376@ uwp .edu On Saturday, 28 January, UW-Parkside will host an event unlike any other...The Grand Opening of the Rita Center! This Saturday festivities run high at UW-Parkside as the Rita Center for Arts and Humanities opens officially to students, staff, and community visitors.
