Karen Lewis, the leader of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU), stands still for a moment, and breathes in the war™ morning air>the weight of what she is about to do making itself fully felt on her shoulders. She is, in a few minutes, going to successfully lead over twenty-nine thousand workers, most of them educators and support staff for the Chicago Public School system, to strike. A walk-out of this size and importance has not been seen in the city of Chicago in over twenty-five years, since the historic teachers strike in 1987. A strike of this size has not occurred m almost six years not just in the state of Illinois, but in the entire country, since the Detroit walkout in 2006. Lewis, for the magnitude of the event she is about to set flame to, stands tall. It is no small act, to be sure. Three hundred and fifty thousand students are about to miss over a full week of school, and many say she is to blame. So what is behind the strike that had parents scrambling to provide some sort of watch for their children for seven long and trying days, while they were off earning a living for their families? A multitude of reasons that are not chiefly black and white. After a long nine days, the issues remain a little muddied, but with time comes clearer water. Each side has victories and losses, and the system could certainly benefit from the newly laidout contract should it be formally ratified in the coming weeks. On the list of victories for the union are a lesser weighting of standardized test results in teacher evaluations (originally the Mayor had pushed for this to count as 45% of their evaluations, which was then brought down to 30%, as mandated by state law), and a 17.6% pay raise over the next four years. But this plan is not without flaw: it will add some seventy-four million dollars to the budget over the next four years. While this $74 million is still much lower than the $129 million cost of the last annual deal, it is still a $74 million that the Chicago Public School system (CPS) simply does not have. The fact that the budgetary effects of the strike are not yet completely clear certainly puts more pressure and attention of the mayor to see what he will do next. But Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, has certainly not walked away from this deal emptyhanded, nor without his own victories to tout. Emanuel certainly did prevail in the salary facet of the deal; as aforementioned, the unions won a 17.6% pay raise over the next four years. Originally, however, the CTU was insistent upon seeking a 30% raise over the next four years. The fact that Emanuel lowered it almost a full thirteen percent is no small accomplishment. Beyond budgetary issues, the mayor also walked away with both a longer school day and a longer school year, effectively adding on approximately two entire years of in-school time to students who will begin school next year. The contract deal that was finally endorsed late Tuesday night is an honest compromise," said Emanuel, only after the teachers had agreed to return to teaching the next day. Lewis is less enthused by the outcome of the deal, but she remains optimistic, and focusing on the students. In response to the mayor s remarks on Tuesday, she said that "There is no such thing as a contract that will make all of us happy, and we're realistic about that. I think this has been an opportunity for people across the nation to have their voices heard, and I think we're moving in the right direction." A good deal is one where everyone walks away a little unhappy, longing for a little more. It is just as Lewis says - and the losses, the things that each side craves more and more - a more perfect companionship of government and educators, more support for students, more support from government, better pay, and more responsibility on educators, will all ultimately lead us down a road that can only be beneficial to everyone involved. Because if everyone walks away a little unhappy, then everyone wins a little bit each time, too. Promising New Master s Degree for UW System Adrienne Trumbo trumb005@uwp.edu A master's degree in sustainable management has been approved to be a collaborative online degree between University of Wisconsin-Stout, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, University of Wisconsin-Parkside, and University of Wisconsin-Superior. This promising online degree will consist of a 34-credit curriculum, with each school contributing up to ten credits. Because of the growth in popularity of green jobs, this advanced degree may be a popular choice for people who have attained their bachelor's of science degree in the same field of study. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Online, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects the growth of careers in green technology to increase upwards at a rate of 20% a year, at least until 2018. The UW-Stout website offers contact information regarding the master's program, while the main sustainable management website mentions only the bachelor's degree (which is also online). Because this is a newly approved program, more information has yet to be released-the curriculum information on the UW-Stout website states that it is "in development."

Where has the time gone? While I'm excited about the return of fall weather and pumpkin spice lattes, I'm not so excited about the plethora of things I have to achieve between now and Decemeber. So much to do, so little time. Now that I'm in my last year as an undergraduate at UW-Parkside, I look around at all the lovely freshmen and remember what my first semester was like. I didn't know it at the time, but UW-P would bring about a huge amount of opportunities for me. My advice to all new and returning students would be to get invoved on campus Not only do you get to meet new people, but you get to learn new things. Challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone; it's one of the most rewarding that things you can do. The staff on The Ranger News wishes you a great semester; we hope you enjoy this issue and we will see you in October (hopefully with many Halloween activities!). 25 September 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM Job Search Essentials Wyllie D175 » s 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM Art Exhibition: "Stealing Like an Artist" Emile H.

Except this showing was a little different, O.K. VERY different. Through blood, seat, tears^ and what could only be called "much gnashing of teeth" the Drama Club performed a feat of thespian strength that would make Hercules jealous. The troupe managed to pare down a four hour play into a tightly choreographed piece of only a little over an hour and fifteen minutes. Considering how extremely dense the source material was one can only imagine the hoops that were hopped through to get this show into shape for opening night. The story follows a young Venetian, named Bassanio, who needs a loan of three thousand ducats so that he can marry Portia, a rich Venetian heiress. He goes to his friend Antonio, a merchant. Except Antonio is short on money because all his wealth is tied up in his fleet which is currently at sea, so Antonio goes to a Jewish money lender named Shylock, who hates Antonio because of his Anti-Semitic behavior towards him. Despite this, Shylock agrees to make a short-term loan, but in a moment of dark humor, he makes a morbid condition-the loan must be repaid in three months or Shylock will take a pound of flesh from Antonio. Antonio agrees, confident that his ships will arrive home on time. Because of the terms of Portias fathers will, all suitors must choose from three caskets made of gold, silver, and lead respectively, one of which contains a picture of her. If he chooses correctly, he may marry her, if not he must vow never to marry or court another woman. As Bassanio prepares to go to Belmont for the test, his friend Lorenzo secretly elopes with Shylocks daughter, Jessica. Bassanio chooses the casket made of lead, which contains her picture, and Portia happily agrees to marry him immediately. Meanwhile, two of Antonio's ships have been lost at sea and his creditors are pressuring him to pay up. Word comes back to Bassanio of Antonio's crisis, and he hurries back to Venice to help his friend, leaving Portia behind. Portia follows him, with her maid, Nerissa, disguising themselves as a lawyer and his clerk. When Bassanio arrives, the date to pay back Shylock has already passed. Even when Bassanio offers much more than the amount in repayment, almost double what was agreed upon, Shylock, now enraged at the loss of his daughter to Lorenzo, insists upon his pound of Antonio's flesh in his bloodlust against the Christians. The Duke doesn't intervene, citing the conditions of the contract. Portia comes to the rescue in her disguise to defend Antonio The Merchant fmm in court. Given the authority of judgment by the Duke, Portia decides that Shylock can have his pound of flesh, if he can keep from spilling Christian blood, which is against the law. Since it is clear that this would be impossible without killing Antonio, Shylocks suit is dropped. Moreover, for conspiring to commit murder against a Venetian citizen, Portia, playing lawyer to a "T", orders that Shylock should forfeit over his entire fortune, half to go to the city of Venice, the other half to Antonio. Antonio, in a clever twist, returns his share of the wealth to Shylock, under the condition that he gives it as a dowry to his disowned daughter, Jessica. To add insult to injury, Shylock must convert to Christianity. Impoverished, shamed, and with no alternative, Shylock accepts. News arrives that Antonio's surviving ships have returned safely to Venice. With the exception of Shylock, all celebrate a happy ending to the entire ordeal. The production was not without its hiccups, however. A wardrobe malfunction here, a stuttered line there (having been on stage myself I know the feeling), but the cast carried themselves through the show with a professional grace even with these missteps. No production is free of blemishes. Even if the audience is unaware of them and believes everything to be perfect, the actors and actresses will find "something" to improve on. This is the mark of an artist, never satisfied and always tuning the instruments of their craft. Kudos, UW-P Drama Club, and Bravo! The Real Rosies happened in 1954 and 1973?

"The Ranger NewsT September 25, 2012 A Fugitives Fairy Tale: La Havre debuts at Parkside James Burns burns029@uwp.edu La Havre, named for the port city in northern France where the film takes place, is a salt-of-theearth tale oi poverty, people, and passion. While not quite melodrama, its suspense lies in the simple and easy-going relationships of its characters. They are compelling because, though the events of the film seem ever so storybook, It's easy to go along with it anyway because the story seems lived in and the characters real. The films tone is set by a contemporary France, cracking down on illegal immigration in attempts to curb terrorism threats. Enter Marcel Marx (duly named after Karl Marx) the proletariat hero of our story. Marcel, a one-time author and bohemian, now a humble shoe shiner working in the local train station lives in a poor part of town, in a tiny house with his wife Arletty, and his dog, Laika. He is surrounded by the type of idyllic people one would more expect in a small, rural town. Friendly, modest, and unassuming people much like Marcel, just trying to get by. Th e comfortable ease is suddenly broken up when, after coming home from the local bar, Marcel finds Arletty on the floor, weak and gravely ill. Marcel gets her to the hospital with the help of his neighbor, Yvette, only to learn she has cancer. Arletty gets the Doctor to tell Marcel that it is only benign and that there is hope. Marcel puts on a brave face, but his neighbors and friends can tell that the grief is getting to him. Being a Bohemian, Marcel, like most of his friends, who are outcasts and foreigners, makes it a point to avoid the police. This gets extremely difficult when he suddenly comes upon a wide-eyed young boy from Gabon while taking his lunch by the docks in the city harbor. Idrissa is on the run from authorities after being discovered in a shipping container filled with other illegal immigrants that were on a cargo freighter that was supposed to take him and his grandfather to London, England where other relatives have gone. He is completely at Marcels mercy when the police come looking for him. Led by a sad-eyed detective in black, Inspector Monet, Marcel throws them off the scent. Taking pity on the boy, he hides Idrissa in his home and tries to figure out a way to get him to England. Finnish Director Aki Kaurismaki's deadpan comedic delivery throughout the film somewhat takes away from the serious emotional intensity that would otherwise wash over the audience in this film. It has the trappings of a light-hearted fairy tale, but it doesn't so much take away as add to the films not-soobvious message that we are all capable of Marcel's compassion and action. So why is it still so extraordinary? Under the Big Top at University of Wisconsin Parkside Laura Ellen Pate Bridgers patebOO 1 @rangers.uwp.edu The Fall Fest of 2012 at University of Wisconsin-Parkside, themed "Circus Spectacular." begins on 1 October and hosts numerous exciting events throughout the week. "We have had many students ask for a carnival so this year we thought 'Why not give them what they want,"' says Julie Evans, Marketing Coordinator of Student Activities at UW-Parkside. "We have a wide range of preferences when it comes to entertainment so we try to keep that in mind. We try to bring a variety of performers so that everyone is interested in something throughout the week!"

September 25, 2012 The Ranger News The Freshmen How To: Survive the First (and last three) Years of College Adrienne Trumbo trumb005@uwp.edu The first year of college is always fun. Maybe it's because parents aren a ways around nagging, or there are days when you only have one class. For just about any reason, it comes down to one word: freedom. You « 6 J^e om to s*eeP in until three p.m. and not get hounded for it. ran y, ere isnt much that is expected of a college student except to become a contributing member of society when finished. In order to do that, here are some tips that will help you along the way: 1. Show up to class. You're paying for it.. .or your parents are. Not to mention, the rest of us think you're dumb because you're spend all that money and have nothing to show for it. Don't expect to get a good grade or even to pass. 2. You don t know it all. Hey, I don't claim to, but professors know more about the subject they are teaching than you do. Remember this motto: to avoid the risk of looking like an a$$, stop running your mouth in class. Looking to advertise upcoming events in an issue of The Ranger News? Email us at rangernews .uwp .edu for rates! 3. For those of you non-traditional freshmen, this one is specifically for you: just because you have more "life experience" does not mean you re right or that you know everything. Similarly to the above tip, professors know more than you. Heck, the students in their senior year know more than you. Just accept it. 4. Because professors know more than you, they are there to help you. Seriously. They want to. They all have office hours for you to stop by and ask questions. If you haven't been showing up to class, have medical problems, or your life seems to implode, talk to them about how it's affecting your grades, participation, etc. They may have solutions or send you to people who can further assist you. Trust me on this one; Professors areactually pretty cool people who want you to succeed. 5. This is not high school. Move out of the hallway. College students go out for what is known as coffee or if you're feeling more committal, lunch. These are the best times to discuss classes, what you're doing over the weekend, or complain about work. On a side note, people you might be [romantically] interested in find these words less frightening than date. 6. Have fun—within reason, that is. Find a happy balance between agonizing over studying, actually studying, and having fun. This fun should include new experiences. Kenosha is full of independently owned cafes and yummy restaurants. Take advantage of your surroundings. College life has a lot to offer. It's not just in the classroom that we learn who we are and what we want out of life.
