On Monday, September 24th, The Center [or Ethnic Studies, the Communication Department and the Office of the Chancellor sponsorea "The Terrorist Attacks: An Interfaith Dialogue" which featured representatives from Buddhist, Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths. From 2:00 to 4:00 pm, students were supposed to be able to listen, vent and finally take time out to pray. That wasn't exactly .vhat happened. Instead, a debate went on for two hours about politics, legislature and issues somewhat tied to the attacks; however much of the discussion strayed off the subject. The religious heads that attended were: Pastor Bill Spottswood, Parkside Professor Marwan Wafa, Rabbi Dena Feingold, Reverend Tony Larsen, Reverend Tony Somlai, Reverend Lawrence Kirby and Mr. Ahmed Quereshi. The dialogue started out discussing the events that took place on September 11th, and the repercussions that are now taking place. Panelists began by reflecting on now their faith 'affected their outlook on September 11th's - events. The panelists described certain parts of their religion, their takes. on why the disaster happened and how to cope spiritually. It seemed as though the entire panel- was on the nefense at one time or anotner throughout the dialogue. For example, Professor Wafa shared his fear of having his wife leave the house after reports of hate crimes against Muslims. Both Professor Wafa and his wife are Muslim. Professor Wafa's brother, Quereshi, also a Muslim, pointed out that according to Muslim law, once a member of the Muslim faith commits such acts as murder or terrorism, anything going against the Koran (the Muslim sacred book of doctrine) they are no longer considered a Muslim. When things started to SlOW, studen-ts, faculty and guests were asked to go up to the microphone and ask the panelists questions. This is where it seemed as though the dialogue turned. The issue was no longer about what happened to the World Trade Center or the Pentagon. .The issues that were argued about for most of the last half of the" dialogue was politics, Israel and the many misconceptions people had. So what people hoped would be a time where students, faculty and others could mourn and share, ended up being a time for debates, clarifications and almost everything other than what happened. Issues that were raised were the possibility of uniting different religions, coming together for the sake of mourning and helping those in need. Parkside Freshman Katie Barriere said, "I thought it was scary that all of the religious leaders agreed that there could be unity between _·eligions.. It's as if none of them had strong faith at all in what they believed and that way they were saying that anything goes." Quereshi stated earlr on in the dialogue that al tne religiens there worship the same God. The Muslims call God, Allah. Allah is the Arabic word for God. Overall, many Issues were uiscussed, but not many of the issues that students really wanted answers to. Revamping the Den for new semester Brenda Dunham, Arts and Entertainment Not everyone knows this but there is a place on campus designed just for having fun and hanging out. Robert Coombs, former Parkside student recommends the.Den for everyone. "It's the best place you can go to take a break from studies without leaving the University." Coombs asks, "Why waste mileage and gas money when you can have better ~?cheaper services on campus. The Den has ten different video games, a jukebox, big screen TVs, foosball, air hockey, pool, ping pong, shot-clockbasketball, board games, and bowling. Coming soon are Internet ready computers and darts. The Den also offers food and refreshments that can be purchased with your meal plans or bear bucks (flex plan).

The people, history, and ecology in this land of contrast will be the subjects of a six-week course and a IS-day visit this fall and winter. Participants will experience Cape Town and Stellenbosh, Johannesburg and Pretoria, and the Kruger National Park. They also will be immersed in Zulu culture and the history of South Africa. The tour takes place Dec. 29 to Waukegan classes now being offered By Kristi Vollmer Staff Reporter T his fall is the first time that a . University of Wisconsin system school is offering courses out of state. UW-Pwill offer courses at UniversityStation in Waukegan, IL. The goal IS to better serve thousands of Wisconsin residents working in Northern Illinois. Between 33,000 and 38,000Wisconsin residents work in Illinois,approximately 22,000 of them workingin the Lake County area. The Organizational Leadership' Certificate Program, offered at University Station in Waukegan, was approved last spring. The same programis offered on Parkside's campus through weekend college, four hours a weekfor ten weeks. Four courses complete the certificate; Introduction to Leadership, Human Resource Issues, Conflict Mediation and Practicum in Leadership. Students take one course at a time and progress through all four coursestogether. The Organizational LeadershipCertificate Program helps individuals gain leadership skills that alsofeed into a degree in interdisciplinary studies at Parkside's weekend college. Compared to other programs offered, this program is "broader enough to attract individuals from different industries," stated Deborah Davidson, Director of Credit Outreach for University of Wisconsin-Parkside. The Organizational Leadership Program is offered to Wisconsin and Illinois residents at the same tuition rate of $2,400. Full-time, as well as adjunct faculty, will be instructing program courses. Individuals, particularly those interested in management, may take these courses for credit or non-credit and they are open to all students. The purpose is to gain knowledge and skills useful to the workforce. University Station is an $800 million redevelopment plan for Lakehurst Mall in Waukegan, Illinois. The developers, Martin Tuohy Associates, will redevelop the 100-acre site to offer office ~nd retail space, in addition to housmg and higher education. In the works are discussions for a possible on-site Metra! Amtrack station. If interested, please attend the open house on October 2, 2001 from 6:00-7:00pm. Classes begin November 6, 2001. For more information contact Deborah Davidson, Director of Credit Outreach at 595-2018. Jan. 12, 2002. Prior to the tour, students and residents will study the country during a series of Wednesday night classes. The course is held from Nov. 7 to Dec. 12, from 6 to 7:45 p.m., and can be taken for three credits or on a noncredit basis. The deadline to register is Friday, Sept. 28. For information on the course and tour, call Professor Gerhard Schutte at ext. 2538 or access www.uwp.edu!academic!sociology!safrica.html via e-mail. Another trip being offered is to Ghana, West Africa. James Stills called his trip to Ghana "a life changing experience," one he's anxious to repeat. Stills, an adjunct Sociology instructor here, is working with Anthropology Professor Lillian Trager on a course and tour of Ghana. Trager said participants would experience West Africa like no tourist could. "We go to places ordinary visitors to Ghana would not. Tourists see the major cities, stay at hotels, and go to a few markets," Trager stated. "But because this is an educational trip, we get to experience a much wider range of cultures." - Tour participants start in the capital of Accra, visiting the city's Cultural Center and galleries. Then they leave the beaten path. Traveling north, they'll stop in Kumasi, known for its kente cloth weaving and wood carving, and in Tamale to learn about the people and culture of the north. The most emotional part of the tour is the visit to the slave castles of Cape Coast. The holding cells and the Door of No Return affect visitors of every race, but they have a special meaning for African Americans. "Many of today's African Americans descended from West African slaves," Stills said. "The opportunity to visit the slave ports and slave castles gives you a sense of history that was missed over the past 500 years." Prior to the trip, seven weekly Thursday evening classes about Ghana are held. Trager said the classes cover Ghana's culture and history while dealing with health and safety issues. Class size is limited to 18. Participants must have a valid passport before the Nov. 1 start of classes, and must register either for a three-credit course or on a non-credit basis. All students must be enrolled by Sept. 28.

On Friday, September 14th, the Rangers got that win. They beat Quincy 1-0. The only goal in the game was scored by Junior Seth Pearson. Senior Bill Wiedel gave the assist to Pearson who put the ball into the net. Freshman Ethan Richter had three shots, while BillWiedel had two shots on the goal. In a phone conversation, SophoWomen's soccer too hot to stop By Dena Coady Sports Page Editor C oming off a 1-0win against Sag- . inaw at Northern Michigan, the Rangers came home for games on Friday, September 14th and Sunday, September 16th with a victory each day. Those two victories put the Rangers 7-0-0 overall and 2-0-0 in the Great Lakes Valley Conference standings. Fridays game against Quincy was a 3-1 win. Senior Bryanna [urvis had a total of five shots while Sophomore Lorrie Jones had three shots on the goal. The goal keepers had an outstanding game: Abbigale Wild had four saves, while Marissa MonroeDevita had one save. In Sundays game, the Rangers beat Missouri-St.Louis 2-0. Parkside didn't make any shots on goal in the first 16 minutes of the game. Then the Rangers scored with 1:42 left in the first half to make it a 1-0 game, Freshman Allison Wild's corner kick to Sarah Hooser started the play that made it a 1-0 advantage. Sophomore Carly Huber finished the play by kicking the ball real hard into the net. The Rangers, as of press time, are in the best start of Parkside's history. Let's hope that they keep the streak alive. Ranger Women's' next game is Sunday, September 30th at home, Good Luck! more Kevin Dieckhof stated that the win against Quincy felt great. "Quincy was always one-two with us, It fe~! good to have .control ?f the game. The win agamst QUIncy put the Rangers 5-0-0 overall and 1-0-0in the Great Lakes Valley Conference standings. "We played very well with Quincy," said Dieckhof. In a phone conv.ersatioll/ Coach Kilps said that against QUIncy the team did very well, used solid defense and took control of the game. On Sunday, September 16th, at home against Missouri-St.Louis, the outcome of the game was less than pleasing. The final came down to a draw, 1-1. Parkside was ranked 5-0-1 overall and 1-0-1 in the GLVC standing as of press-time. The good part of that game is Parkside did hold Miss-St.Louis scoreless for the first 65 minutes. Then MISS.- St.Louis headed the ball past Senior Thorn Peer to even the score at 1 a piece. The Rangers held sconng threats in the final 30 minutes of regulation and both of the 15 minute overtimes, but just couldn't seem to score the winning shot. . Ethan Richter once agam had three shots and Andrew Nijoka had two shots on the goal. Dieckhof said that the game against Miss.- St.Louis was disappointing, but he feels they played their best. "We almost lost our drive," said Dieckhof. "During practices we have been steppmg up and working real hard on mistakes we made." ...... , "Against Miss.-St.Louis we didn t playas well as we had been playing this year," said Kilps. "It's a matter of maturity and composure, but they didn't lack interest." The Ranger mens next game is Sunday, September 30th at home. Good Luck!

On Friday, August 10th the volleyball team attended the ropes course at Rogers Memorial Hospital. The ropes course is about 20-35 ft. depending on the activity. The activity that the Rangers did was Multi-Mind. The 'Center for Organizational Advancement (COA) of Rogers Memorial Hospital sponsors the rope course. The insight that the COA offers is the ability to improve team performance through unity and trust. In order for a team to be successful, the team members must learn to embrace change. The COA focuses on a variety of team-related topics such as leadership, motivation, adaptability, trust, cooperation, goal-setting and communication. COA has a Together Educators Corporations Help (TEACH) program. The TEACH program partners schools with businesses who assist. in funding which an adopted class offers a special "thank you" by assisting with a special volunteer project or providing a related community service. "It all started at about 9:00 a.m. and then we broke for lunch," said volleyball Coach Melissa Woltner. "Then we started back at noon and went till 4:00 p.m." Freshman Kandi Bauer is afraid of heights but went along and did the ropes course. "Everyone of my teammates were encouraging me to try it, so I did," said Bauer. "It hasn't Several members of the women's volleyball team participate in an activity to help teach them about the importance of unity and teamwork. stopped my fear of heights though." Woltner stated that it was a lot of fun for the girls. "We attended a dinner at one of the girls house the next night and that is all they talked about," said Woltner. Coach Woltner said that it was just mind over matter. The reason why this woule bring a team together is the simple fact of helping each other out and guiding one another, Just like Bauers' teammates did for her by encouraging her to take on her fear. Senior Maggie Schultz did it last year and said this year was more challenging. "This year ws also a lot of fun, and it was good to do before the season started so we got to know about the new teammates in the beginning," said Schultz. "It let us bond and trust one another." "The team gets along very well. They seem to be better at the end," explained Woltner. "Different people on the team became different leaders." As for Bauer, she said she is proud to have done it. According to Woltner it's worth it for any organization to give this a try. It's worth the time and money.

By Tiffany Grant Staff Reporter T he talk shows went back on the air September 17th and 18th just one week after America was attacked. They have one of the toughest jobs of all: how do they make America laugh in the face of tragedy? ThISwas a challenge for David Letterman when he resumed the taping of the Late Show on Monday the 17th. As most people know, Letterman tapes 'his show in the heart of New York City and is a very private person. . Since his heart bypass surgery in January 2000 we haven't seen him show much emotion, but on the 17th we did. He was holding back tears as he tried to get through the first part of the show. This is usually filled with Jokes about current events and politicrans. Instead, he gave his appreciation for Mayor Rudolph Gulliani and of the men and women who lost their lives September 11. He especially gave thanks to NYC s finest and bravest, the police and firefighters. He's had them on his show many times for comedy bits, but has not shown a true appreciation for them until now. As he said on his show, "I hope I never take these people for granted again." I get chills thinking that maybe one or more of those firefighters that have been on his show are among the dead or missing. When it was time to go to break the show faded to black, replacing what use to be music and a picture of the New York City skyline. It's hard to believe that the skyline we are all so use to seeing doesn't exist anymore. When he returned, America was drawn to tears when Dan Rather of the CBS Evening News emotionally broke down talking of the event. We saw that night that a well-known comedian and a serious anchorman are also just human. David Letterman showed Americans that if he were to stay off the air the terrorists would have won. As hard as it was for him to corne back, he showed true patriotism by allowing his show to go on. . UW-P Arts: ALIVE!

Will 1be able to show my children and grandchildren the skylines of Milwaukee and Chicago or will they be just stories from the distance past, the way our generation looks at World War Il. Over the past week 1have finally seen what it really means to be an American and how very special that is. Day by day things have begun to sink in and day-byday 1 have seen more American flags being displayed. Whether flags flying at half staff from flag poles to flags hanging up on front porches to flags stuck in the ground along the length of North Main Street in Racine. On Saturday 1 had the privilege in participating in a car wash to establish a scholarship for the children of the fallen firefighters. The firefighters were among the first on the scene of the first plane crash and were among the first killed by such a senseless act. It is there heroism that we should be all blessed to have. Their selfless acts perhaps saved the lives of countless people. 1was profoundly affected by things 1 saw there. First the never ending line of cars to be washed, and when it was all said and done more than 700 cars were washed. The age of people there ranged from four to seventy-five 1would guess. There were people who did not make the car wash who sent money with those who were going. People would get out oftheir cars after they were washed and offer to help wash other cars. There were people of all walks of life and ethnic backgrounds washing cars, all united to achieve a common goal, to raise what 1 later found out to be the staggering amount of $25,000 for the car wash, food sales, and what 1want to call the red white and blue sale, this consisted of yarn necklaces and ribbons to wear. 1 have never felt such a sense of togetherness working side by side with my fellow Americans for the common goal of helping others. Which, in the big picture, is giving us hope that our country, the greatest country in the world, will not only continue to unite our people, but will continue to grow as the war against terrorism gets underway. To Quote President Bush, "I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you, (cheers go up) and the people who knocked fhese buildings down will hear all of us soon." Ihave never been prouder to call myself an American, but finally 1am just beginning to understand just what that means. 1 hope all of you realize what being an American means and you take as much pride in that as 1do.

(Brad Rlckerby/Reuters) Melissa Stephenson Assistant Co-Editor A merica Shocked as Terrorism Rises Again On Tuesday, September 11, 2001 at 7:45 a.m. (CDT), hijacked American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 from Boston to Los Angeles, crashed into the north World Trade Center (WTC)tower in Manhattan, creating a fiery hole in the side. As rescue workers arrived on the scene, a second passenger plane, American Airlines Flight 77, a Boeing 757 en route from Washington-Dulles to Los Angeles ripped into the opposite twin tower of the building, creating another gaping hole. With the two towers burning, rescue workers sped to evacuate the two 110- story buildings. Within minutes of the attacks, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) shut down all New York City airports and bridges. President Bush briefly spoke in Florida saying the country had suffered an "apparent terrorist attack." He also called the day a'''difficult moment for America." (Reuters) Bush reassured the American people that the "federal government is working to assist local authorities to save lives and to help the victims of these attacks." (Reuters) At roughly 9:05, two hours and 20 minutes after the World Trade Center attack, United Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles, a Boeing 767, reportedly flew into one side of the Pentagon in Washington D.C. Evacuations throughout the nation's capitol began immediately. The attack on the Pentagon appeared to take place on the Army side of the building said retired General Wesley Clark, former supreme commander of NATO. "We've known for sometime that some group has been planning" such an assau1t, he told CNN, adding that "obviously,we didn't do enough" to prepare for an attack. (MSNBC.com) Within minutes of the attack on the I .. Pentagon, the south tower of the WTC came crashing down onto streets and buildings surrounding the towers, killing many rescue .workers and -ivilians. The New York police department reported that at least 78 officers were missing, and as many 300 fire fighters were presumed dead. Almost simultaneously, a section of the Pentagon collapsed. TTnitedFlight 93 a Boeing 757, from .ewar« to San iranClSCO crashed nortrof Somerset County Airport, about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Crash survival is unlikely. rrior to the crash, an emergency dispatcher received a cell phone call from a man who claimed to be a passenger locked in a bathroom aboard the flight. The man screamed "We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!" (AP US) The man went on to tell the dispatcher that the plane was going down and that he had heard an explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane. The dispatcher then lost contact with the man. At 9:28, the second tower of the World Trade Center collapsed, diverting any rescue attempts and causing more casualties. By this time, all of the federal office buildings in Washington were evacuated and under surveillance. At roughly noon, President Bush addressed the public once again saying "Make no mistake, the United States will hunt down and punish those responsible for those cowardly acts." (Reuters) Shortly after 3:00 p.m., building 7 of the WTC was reported burning. The evacuated building was damaged when the twin towers across the street collapsed earlier in the day. Other buildings in the area were also in flames. An hour later, building 7 collapsed. At 7:30 p.m., President Bush again addressed the public saying, "thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror." He also called for the prayers for family and friends of all the victims of Tuesday's events. "These acts shatter steel, but I ( .

The death and violence, the pain and horror of this day will leave many with few words and a burdened heart. Yet, it is not the events of Tuesday that will decide the fate of many more souls. One must now lookto the American government for its response to this matter. Soon after the attack, theories about the tragedy flew across televisions, radios and computers. Some proclaimed this an act of war while President Bush spoke of hunting down those culpable for the carnage that rippled across the nation. What degree of a response is justified? Perceived weakness would open the door for continued aggression, as would excessive military force. It is without question that there will be those made to pay for this horrific violence, but let this nation not spread that violence too far, thus creating another round of senseless victims. It is this pursuit of justice that must be tempered with the spirit of justice that this country claims to be built upon. A blind military rage will only open the door to further militant terrorism. Many within this country hail it is as a "great" nation, including the President. It is now time that the nation, its elected leaders and its military demonsirate that quality to be true. The grief and UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN SYSTEM INSTITUTIONS REMAIN OPEN By Kevin Boatright M ADISON -- All University of Wisconsin System institutions remained open Tuesday and classeswere and held as scheduled. According to UW System President Katharine Lyall, therewas no reason to believe that facu1ty,staff and students at the 26 campuses in the state werein any danger whatsoever,follOWingthe days apparent terronst attacks in New York and Virginia. 'We have been briefed by security staff on what hap- ~ned Tuesday morning," said yall,who was with her senior staffthis morning in Madison at a previously scheduled meeting. "While the State Capitol is closed to the public and the Wisconsin National Guard is on high-alert status, these are precautionary measures only. I think it's prudent that we exercise great care, bur there are no indica tions of a threat to any university campuses." Added Lyall, " I urge everyone in the UW System to remain calm. This was a terrible and tragic day for our country. My heart goes out to the victims of these attacks and their families. Our chancellors and their staffs are offering assistance to any UW System students, faculty and staff who are affected by what has happened." mourning in the hearts of individuals must bind this nation together. Through the pain and rage that has swept across this land, there must emerge a vision and wisdom to act with guarded speed and cautious force in pursuit of a tempered justice. President Bush stated that the resolve of the nation was being tested and stated that this great nation, would pass that test. This nation, however, must do more than Simply pass the test. It must do well in the process, est more 'fiolence fill the horizon. Finally, let the people of this campus, this community and this nation say a prayer for all those who have. lost a parent or a child, a brother or a sister, a husband or a wife.

Foreign films used to be considered somewhat taboo in comparison to American flicks and the storylines are often considered to have higher quality then the media pushed Hollywood blockbusters. "For a long time foreign films were sexier then American films. There is more human interaction and character compared to American action films," commented Professor Don Kummings. Student Bennett Logterman shares similar views; lilt's a break away from Hollywood movies with 40 million dollars worth of special effects. Foreign films are actually about people." The founding members of the foreign film committee (FFC) are professors Norm Cloutier, Don Kurnrnings, and Rich Rosenberg who are still in charge of the program today. FFC is very popular among the cornmunity, but student FFC patrons are hard to find. In the first year of showings there were roughly 700 ticket holders, but due to ancient equipment, such as a sixteen-millimeter projector, some moviegoers lost interest. Thanks to local contributors and a slight raise in ticket prices the self-sufficient program was able to purchase updated equipment and the series regained status and currently has 1200 ticket-holders. Cloutier, Kumrnings and Rosenberg create a movie list every year that is derived from recent film catalogs, the New York City Film Festival and personal viewings. The ticket holders then have an opportunity to select titles from this list' and the popular picks are usually shown, but sometimes alterations are made to keep a variety in the cultural background of the movies. Not only are foreign films for entertainment, but often times students and other movie patrons walk away with something more. "Studying any culture gives you a different perspective," said student Megan Feifer. Student Rachel Larson commented that; "Foreign films helps us not to be so egocentric in thinking we are the best as a culture." For more information about FFC or for season tickets call 595-2345.

Additionally, they work to prevent involvement in gangs, teen sex, alcohol, and drug use. In addition to this event, the 38 graduating majors have volunteered 12 hours at different sites, thus positively affecting many youngsters' lives.

Lysistrata's title character, played by Jr. Catherine Apilado, agreed that "a lot of [Lysistrata] is about sex;' but like many of life's aspects there are multiple levels, . "The story is timeless," said Apilado, "Because there have been wars since the beginning of time." The play, which takes place in 2411 A.D. amid warring sectors of the population, is about the struggle of women to end the continuous warring of men because they are fed up with the fighting and death. Lysistrata, whose own father died in battle, organizes the women and "tells them that they need to give up sex in order to stop the .men from fighting," said Apilado, who characterizes Lysistrata as "A temptress" with a bizarre twist of "Southern Belle" and "ditzy Valley Girl." Toprepare for the role Apilado was specifically instructed to envision Hollywood screen legends Sophia Loren and Vivian Leigh, who's best known for her portrayal of Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. "It's a very visual show in terms of costumes and colors;' said Apilado, which includes fire-eating, outrageous hair, a sexually suggestive stage, and skimpy wardrobes, which Apilado admitted can be "a little challenging" to deal with. She also said that there are "some interesting visual effects that you'll have to come to see." Comedy in the play comes by way of the situations that various characters get placed into and the ad-libbing encouraged by the play's director, Dale Calandra, who also co-wrote the adaptation, which is based off an original play composed by Greek playwright Aristophanse in 411 B.C. The ad-libbing promises to keep the performances Continued on pag, 3 The RangerFest: A spring open house at Parkslde Tyrone A Payton Co-opinion Page Editor I thas been 3 years since Parkside has had a Spring Open House for the student population, but Saturday, April 21st, the school will rekindle this event and christen it the RangerFest.

The gala spectacle starts at noon and lasts until 4 p.m., and it will showcase interactive sites for the student population beginning in the Union Bizarre and stretching across the campus main level to Main Place.

Plus, Kiss FM is bringing along their infamous Kiss PM Cash Kube, where it could be an early tax return bonus for some students, as they are trapped in the box with the chance to sweep up some extra dough that is flying around inside. A possible even bigger bonus for all participants is the trip for one lucky individual and a guest to Times Square and the MTV Studios for a free tour sponsored by Time Warner Cable. These are probably some of the grandest features at RangerFest, but there is plenty more sites to mention. The Information Services will construct an Internet cafe, where students can enjoy coffee with their computer web browsing. Not to forget, the Peer Health Educators will be mixing up some mocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, for those festivalgoers who want to come off their coffee kick. Also, the Theater of Empowerment will be practicing their thespian skills with a special performance on a series of different conflict scenarios. Other facilities that will be there are the Nursing Programs blood pressure testing exhibit and the Geology Departments interactive display on water. Admissions Counselor Nicole Sturino best put the RangerFest when she said, "We want to showcase the physical beauty of the campus, showcase our programs and our people, and show what we offer." Well, all of these interactive sites will be at RangerFest for all participants to capitalize on each site's experience, and these are just the beginning of what RangerFest has to offer. The sex play is coming continued. fresh. The ad-libbing already occurring during rehearsals "Is really funny" according to Apilado, "It's different every night." She also counts her opportunity to work with the play's writer as very rewarding because "You !l.etto know their every vision' and "you know exactly what's going on." No! There is no nudity. The play's sexually related content should not shock viewers because "Wenever go too far" said Apilado, Calandra would not allow it. "It is very sexual, but it's fun at the same time" according to Apilado, "There's a lot of innuendos," but nothing graphic. "[Lysistrata's] goal is peace" said Apilado, who points out that "withholding sex from the men" is a means of achieving her goal. Sex is just one aspect of the play but it is not the main point.

This doesn't mean you should skip the spicy enchilada special at your favorite Mexican restaurant (if you don't have one then you should go find one!) but you certainly can't be faulted for looking a little more at the long view.

Take your time, be committed to what you want to achieve and don't think about the end goal. You'll get all bent out of shape that xou haven't reached your goal if you worry day to day- and unless you're trymg to get into shape for an Olympic gymnastics team that's probably not what you really want.

Many things in life you CAN take on a certain amount of faith without having to wrestle with it. You know that if you put a hamster in the microwave you'll get a big, wet pop- you don't have to test that theory. While that might be a tad extreme, you get the idea. Cancer June 22-July 22 You're quick, bright and you know what you're after. In a crowd of people, you stand out with your smooth moves and decisive actions. People sway before your opinions and tremble at your rage. You're also susceptible to flattery and need to watch out for that this month. Leo July 23-August 22 The opinions of others will always be something of a thorn . in your side. You can try to patiently walk someone through the logic of your ideas but if they don't want to list~ you might as well be trying to explain foreign politics to our new President. Instead, just relax- the odds are that the person you're arguing with will have something bad happen to them soon enough. Take some time to dip your toes in the water. Virgo August 23-September 22 Did you swing around likea ballerina on crarik last month? Did you take life by the short hairs .and make it dance? Oh well, there goes YOUR chance. The next month looks a lot more sedate, which is not always a bad thing-especially for those of you who did the watusi on the backs of those around you and anyone stupid enough to get in your way. } I want myMTV Win a studio tour and trip for two to NewYork City courtesy of Time Warner Cable $ Give me money - that's what I want Say hello to the KISS-FM DJ and make a mad dash for cash in the KISS-FM Ka$h Kube Keep your eyes on the prize == Enter to win tickets to HarborFest, gift certificates from area businesses, and much more }t I.) . :.

At district, members of Circle K elected new District officers and new Lt. Governors for each division of the 2001-2002school year. The prospective candidates presented themselves to all Circle K members present and were subject to any questions they wished to ask. Then two representatives from each club voted. It was at this convention that current Parkside Circle K president, Nathan Hunter, was elected to be the new Lt. Governor for the southeastern Wisconsin area. Hunter will be responsible for mentorin& a total of 8 clubs. He says, 'It's a fun job, I get to go . to other schools, sit in on their meetings, and make' comments." "I was thinking, Congregations for Nate, he did an excellent I'ob as President and wi I rock as LTG. He ---,,,,,,.=-:-,..----------.., certainly has an enthusiasm that is catching!" said, former Lt Governor of the southeastern division Cindy Ramm from UW Milwaukee Circle K. Hunter hopes to increase interclub activity and has some sly tactics to do this. He is helping to resur- - rect an old tradition, which promotes the taking of other clubs bells and banners. When this occurs the club from which these things have been taken need to send at least four representatives to our Spuds!! get them back. One down side to this is that these items can get damaged. To solve this problem the Circle K groups have taken up mascots, which are more fun and less expensive. Parkside's Circle K group picked their Mascots up at a family dollar in Northern Michigan.

Miller Park opening a huge succeesrr; ....... lach Robertson Sports Page Editor With President George W. Bush throwing out the first pitch and a national anthem that featured a bald eagle flying through the stadium the city of Milwaukee was finally able to' enjoy opening day at MillerPark on April 6. The Brewersbeat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 in front of 42,024 spectators. The game was won on an eighth-inning home run by Richie Sexson, making the game even more memorable. As Brewers Manager Davey Lopes told the Journal Sentinel, "Youreally couldn't write a better script. ' Miller Park will serve as the cornerstone of the Brewers rebuilding process, with several restaurants, stores and other attractions. Much has been said about the retractable roof, which means no more .rain delays, something fans will appreciate. All of these features will help to generate necessary funds for the small-market Brewers, enabling them to compete with teams such as the New YorkYankees. According to University of Wisconsin-Parkside student Chris Peters, his first impression of Miller Park was one of amazement. "I couldn't believe how big that £Iace was," said Peters. The roof will be great when they get the leaks fixed. Still, it's good to know that the games will be played no matter what the weather is like." The first thing fans will notice when they enter the stadium is that the majority of the seats are located behind home plate and along both baselines. "Miller'Park is so much more fan friendly than County Stadium," said Peters. "Everything is designed to focus your attention on the game." While Miller Park offers the fans a variety of attractions some of the die-hard Brewer fans will miss County Stadium. "Nothing will ever replace Bernie Brewers chalet and the beer barrel in the outfield," said Peters.

They-have their informative kindergarten teacher, Ms. Keane, who treats all of her students with a healthy dose of knowledge. There is also Sara Bellum, who is the intellectual secretary to the Mayor, and who is obviously smarter than the puny, senile Mayor is. The distinct name choices are evident of how McCracken wants even these mature female heroines to be in the eyes of the youth; as strongly independent, capable of their own skills, and bright among all things. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are truly ideal role models for today's youth, as little boys will grow up respecting their female friends, and girls will understand that they too 'can become brilliant and reach eminence in the big world awaiting them. Even older "kids" can learn a lesson or two in how to respect one another and enjoy each other's company from these youngsters. Who knows, the Powerpuff Girls could even cure the cooties in the playground. the I?resent children of today and into the latter part of generation X. It's also more than one gender that is in love with these tykes, for these kids have guys and gals across America under their charm. The producer, Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Cartoon Network's infamous Dexter's Laboratory, saw a revolution of cartoons in PPG. The girls do battle with a colorful array of supervillians from the intellectually mad monkey, Mojo Jojo, to the hillbilly hick furrball, Fuzzy Lumpkins, to the androgynous, demonic evil entity, "Him:' and even topple gigantic, despicable monsters that tower above the Townsville skyscrapers. By outsmartmg these grownup spawn of wickedness, the PPG save Townsville time after time, while still attending school, being creative, laughing with other children, helping in the community, and being responsible and respecting children to their surrogate father figure. Not only do they have the Professor as a father figure; they also have ment. Particularly, the capitalizing efforts of the Cartoon Network have popularized three little eight-year-olds into colossal superstars. From reality to fantasy, women in society have gone from French war hero, Joan of Are, to U.S. women's rights activist, Susan B.Anthony, to the phenomenal Powerpuff Girls (PPG). With sugar, spice, and every thing nice, and the accidental addition of the experimental chemical X, Professor Utonium of the fictional cartoon city of Townsville gave birth to Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Together with their new dynamic powers from chemical X and the general sweetness provided by the former ingredients, Professor Utonium created the perfect little girls. The cartoon concocted by its true professor, cartoonist, Craig McCracken, has taken the market world by storm. The three tiny titans have seemingly appealed to a span of generations from are becoming the embodiment of these role models.

The bench players also stepped up, such as Darvin Ham and Scott Williams. The Bucks are known as a unpredictable, and most of all a good team. Last week the Bucks were second in scoring, third in free throw I?ercentage, fifth in three point percentage and seventh in field Sports Reporter L ast year when Travis Best of the Indiana Pacers hit that three pointer that knocked the Milwaukee Bucks out of the first round of playoffs, it must have gotten to those Bucks. This year the Bucks not only are in the playoffs again, but have won the Central Division title for the first time in over 15 years. Since the start of the 2000- 2001 NBA season the Bucks were even favored to win the Eastern Conference. The reason why the Bucks were favored is because Alonzo Mourning of the Miami Heat was side1ine with a kidney disordered (now Mourning is back to playing), New York Knicks were too small, and the Indiana Pacers not only lost Coach Bird, but also lost three starters, and veteran Chris Mullin. Unfortunately, for the Bucks, they started this season sloppy. Their record into the start of the season was 3-9. Then the Bucks started to get scoring from Glenn Robinson (Big Dog) Robinson, Ray goal percentage. The Bucks are one of the few teams in the NBA that don't turn the ball over. .In a phone interview John Ehlenbeck, Public Relations Intern for the Milwaukee Bucks said,"The last time the Bucks won a Central Division title was in the. 1985-1986season." The Bucks seem to just be on the winning track. Of course, for the Bucks to advance far into the playoffs, they need the "Big Three" to step up with huge scoring. The Big Three are Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Glenn Robinson. Already this year the Big Three have pushed the Bucks past the 42-win mark for the first time since 1991. They even account for 60 percent of Bucksi scoring. Sam Cassell is averaging 18 points a game, ranking eighth in assists (7.6), ana 15th in shooting percentage (48.5 percent). Cassell also recorded his career high game with 40 points. Ray Allen is one of the NBA's pure shooters and he's great at the three's. His career high game is 42 points. Glenn Robinson just does everything. His career high game is 45 points. Ehlenbeck said, "Yeah, the Big Three will be a huge factor in the playoffs. The Bucks need these guys to win games." Ehlenbeck then stated, "The Bucks have had tremendous help from the bench. When one of the Big Three is injured, the bench steps up. These three need to step up as well as the bench." Regular season of the NBA came to an end this week, now it's time to watch those Bucks, hopefully, bringing a NBA Championship to the state of Wisconsin. "We don't know ticket prices yet because it varies, but the playoffs start April 21. The Bucks could flay either Saturday, April2 or Sunday, April 22, " said Ehlenbeck. From left to right: Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Glenn Robinson of the Milwaukee Bucks (#2 s~) are poised. to take on the Orlando Magic (#7 seed) in the first round round of the 2001 NBA Playoffs.

While Easterlin15 was m jail police found evidence linkin!,l him to the attack of the custodian. Easterling is accused of wearing a mask like the one in the movie "Scream'" du.ring the attack on the custodian and allegedly trying to break into an Automated Teller Machine in the Student Union. If convicted Easterling could face up to 77 years in prison and $60,000 in fines. Dean of Students Steve McLaughlin said that there is going to be a student discipli- nary hearing al the University when the police reports are fin- ished. Easterling could face sus- pension or expulsion. A suspen- sion would mean that he would not be admitted into the Univ_ersity for 2 years. An expul- s10n would be for an indefirute amount of lime. The student would have to appeal in order to return to the University. According to the Kenosha News, campus police found the ATM broken into on the morn- ing of April 2. The custodian was found shortly alter in a restroom with his feet bound and arms tied behind his back with black plastic straps. The custodian told police that he was cleaning when two people wearing "Scream• maslcs entered and put a gun to his head. The two men ordered him to get on the floor and told him that if he wasn't quiet, they would kill him. An officer received an anonymous tip that Easterling might have been involved. A roommate showed the police a bag that Easterling had given him. The officers found a "Screrun" mask and black plastic tics. The custodian, who has asked to remain anonymous, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he received stitches in his ear and was released.

But when all was said and done, the overall reaction to the weekend's events was positive. 'The retreat was a welcome forum to interact with people of other ethnic h,,ckgrounds said UW-P senior, Ray Sanchez. "I learned a lot. We each had a totally different outlook.

Its members have been planning the whole year to get the chance to sponsor their club and their Asian ethnicity this April, which is Asian Awareness month here at Parkside. Most of the planned events are still left for the end of this month, but students may have already caught a glimpse of Asian culture when a vendor shop was set up in Upper Main Place from Tuesday, April 3 to Thursday, April 5. The vendor shop was decorated with numerous items including cell phone cases, eyeglass pouches, pillow cases, bool< bags, colorful stuffed snake, turtle, and lizanl ornaments, and numerous other sacks, satchels, packs, and pUr'..CS. For those three days, PAO representatives manned the vendor booth, as they sold over $500 in native goods that were manufactured m Thailand by Laotian workers, acco~ to PAO president Ymg Vang. t;'.ach of these products were 1,cautifully adorned as many of the pouches and bags were garnished with "pansdaos, an Asian form of embroidery," said Pakou Vang, one of Parkside's new student senators in the Parkside Student Government Association. On Wednesday, the booth operators gave a surprise as many dressed up in Hmong clothes. Pakou said these clothes "basically consist of a shirt, a _blouse, some jewelry, and_ c~m bags of Laotian design. The vendor shop is just the beginning of more upconung events. On Thursday, April 19th, an Asian comedy troop called Stir Talking Color continued munching on homemade brownies and cookies. Bickham came equipped with plastic cups and multi-colored oeads. Each f>articipant was asked to place the appropriate colored bead into a plastic cup depending on the partic• 1pant's answer. For example, if the participant's physician is white, he or she placed a white bead in their cup. If the partici· pant's physician is Asian, he or she placed a tan bead in their cup. At the end of the exercise, all participants examined their beads to determine if the participant Includes pwple of d iver.;¢ l>~unds into their lives. The Theatre of Empower• ment, led by Communication Department Professor, Jonathan Shailor, ended the evening with students re-enacting events from their past that involved racial discrimination. It was a painful, eye-opening experi• encc for most. -When we were forced to act out, or see someone else act out the 1'31'1 of a bigot, although it was hard to do and see, it was necessary so we could see issues from the black view• point" Struebing stated. Rucker added, "Jonathan Shailor was very inspiring, and (he) create<! an unusually relaxed atm06phere given the fact that we were dealing with Friday Night will be doing a one hour performance in the Union Cinema starting at 1:00 p.m. courtesy of Claudia Mosley of the Office of MultiCultural Affairs. Their main purpose of their comedy is to use humor to address Asian stereotypes," said M06ley. some senously strong topic,,," Sanchez's favorite activity •·was when we were all instruct~ ed to strike a pose that defined how we felt about something. The rest of us would try to determine what the subject was trying to convey, which helped give us an insight we dian't fiave, but it also gave us, as su~ jects, an insight into how others perceived us." Unfortunately, although Rucker and Christie made numerous attempts to attract students, the number of partici• pants was low. "I was let down and so was Chris Christie. This type of retreat is critical. It opens up a whole new avenue ol Jeamm17, and is a powedul ex~riencc,' stated Rucker. Also, Friday, April 20th, the PAO will be sponsoring a dance in the Union Square from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. On Monday, April 23rd, there will al.so be a social located in the Den from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., but the month isn't done yet An Asian ethnic dancer, SeulGhcz'.:s reaction to the low turnout was similar, '1he group was small, and some of us were less represented than others as far as numbers went, but the messages were clear, and we proved that the silence could be broken. I'd really like to see this kind of retreat become more well established, a venue that allows barriers to be crossed even briefly." Yet, despite low turnout, Christie wasn' t deterred as she carried out a final exercise. She instructed participants to divide according to race and then to prepare a list of questions that each wanted to ask the other race, an exercise she called, "fishbowl". While some quc."Stions were clightly arous~ ing, most were thought provokPeggy Myo-Young Choy, is scheduled to enlighten a crowd in the Union Square on April 26th. This event will begin at 1:00 p.m. and is sponsored b{. the Office of Stt1dent Multi-Cu • tural Affairs, respectfully from Carmen Ireland. The PAO has big plans for this month, but these events aren't the only bright thing about this club. Pakou is not the only PAO member in tl>P !'!,(;A. Newly elected senator, Peng Her, was awarded a seat beside his fellow PAO member. Also, Ying will be graduatini; this May with her major in cruninal justice, and another _graduate, PAO secretary, lien Chau, will be getting her second bachelor's degree in political science with a legal studies concentration to add to her bachelor's degree in French, "Vhen asked about what the PAO taught her most, Ying said, "It has helped me to be more o~ while still Jetting me talce a part in my ethnicity."

For c-,x;implP, one student asked, 'Would any of you trade f>laces and become black for one <lay?" Although the initial response was ·•yes," it quickly change to "no" after the student changed the ?uestion to, "What if you couldn t go back to being white?" A question U,at caused white students to stumble and to contemplate was, "How does it kcl to be white?" When asked what her overall response to the retreat was, Christie's said,· Attendance was somewhat low. I'm disappointed that we didn't have more e thnic diversity," Although attendance was low, most atten· dees were grateful for the experience, and beyond a doubt, they left with a greater understanding of each other.

LISTEN UPI April 12, 2001 Opinion Page Liquid Crack: The Running of the Bull Tyrone A Payton Opinion Page Co-Editor 36 hours of overstressed nerves nearly shattered me past my reality 6reaking point two weeks ago ti •II ~n during my usual Friday night late shift at good ol' Brcwmasters Pub on the south side. It seemed that the majority of the staff was getting into this new Red Bull cnergy ilrink. You may have seen the com- mercials w,th its clever cartoon illustrations and clipping catch phrase, "Red Bull gives you wii- ,ngs!" Well, it seems from wordof-mouth, my Brcwmasters facility has found a new adrenaline zapped resource to keep them catapulted into a state of readiness, because the Red Bull epidemic spread fast. That Fnday, two weeks ago, was the day Red Bull eradicated my physical and mental health for the entire nij;ht spanning into the next evening. Around 7 p.m., 1 chugged the cylindrical Junkie drinlcand waited to see if my patience would be rewarded. Unbeknownst to me, Red Bull was about to take me on a day and a half of pure roller coaster insanity. This silver and blue can dispenses a shade of tan liquid that is similar to a real bull's hide. This liquid tastes like smashed Skittles, but unfortunately is over• powered in its .after taste by the carbonic acid. It states on the can that this elixir will increase endurance and reaction speed, but is not intended for the caffeine sensitive. lhat was the catch live. After alL like most college students, I enjoy the regular cup of coffee. Well, Red Bull is a far shot from your ordinary coffee. Heck, I'd consider ii a galaxy away from a simple espresso shot.

They also gave away several free journals titled "Through Others' Eyes," which contained papers written by Parkside students. The journal was sponsored by SIA and PSGA president of SIA and a sophomore English major. One of the goals of SlA is to help the community around Parkside. They expressed an interest in working on more projects with the Parkside Communi'}'. Outreach Club (PCOC). I'm interested in becoming more involved here on campus, said Jesse Bennett, Vice President of SIA and junior Business major. Another soal is to get students more mvolved oy pub- lishing their papers in their l ·ournals. They also would ike to see more students recognized for academic achievement by having an academic awards ceremony at the end of the school year. sit.

Put your spare hours to good use by becoming a sexual assault health advocate. Advocates go through train- ing to become more eaucated about sexual assault. There are five 3-hour training sessions required to be an advocate. In these sessions, volunteers are taught how to help assault victims, their families and friends. Future advocates learn the emotions behind assault, what the victim is feeling, the procedures they will go through in the examination room, and some of the legal procedures the family can follow to prosecute the offender. When an advocate is called, they go to the hospital after someone has been raped, molested, or sexually assaulted and act as an advocate". Advocates help family mem- bers cope with what their loved one is going through and explain to tfiem what Ifie vic- tim will be going through when at the hospital. Advocates also help explain to family members fhe emotions they and the victim may feel, and that what they are feeling is normal. Having an advocate at the hospital tielps the victim and their family to feel that they are not alone. Advocates are there for support, to answer questions on the procedures the victim goes through, and help them learn to cope. One example would be that many victims recoil when touched by fa.mlly members after being assaulted. Advocates are there to explain to them that this is a normal reaction and is not because of anything they did. When on call, advocates have a phone with them for a 12-hour period. Shifts range from morning, night or all day. They are allowed to sleep during the 12 hours. The requirement is just to be able to drop everything and get to where they are needed. There are monthly meetings to catch up and refresh on what is happening. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. There will be a peace walk on April 29th, details are still in the making on where it will be held. There will be bands, a Walk for Peace and speakers. To find out more, visit the Womyn's Center on campus. You may also call Moira Kalichman at 399-0625 and le.ive a message. If you or anyone you know has been assaulted and wants help, or just wants to talk, call the assault hotline at 637-7233. i"he one -th,n9 B<>.-f vv,o,v-'s- u+: 1;;y be\\ dc,e5vi't do ; 14 ee r' 1-\; s f0"+5 vf'.

After three trips to get the women, their walkers, and a blanket from the back of the vehicle, the two students wrapped the ladies in the blanket and offered the shirts off their backs to keep the women's feetwarm. The women had been stranded on the flooded bridge for approximately an hour, and claimed they saw three other cars come down to the bridge and turn back. -"I figured any decent person would have came out and helped:' remarked Donnerbauer. "You'd think a person would have some feelings inside." As Donnerbauer comforted the ailing victims, Place ran to dial 911. Fortunately Joseph KickIer and his family were approximately 100 yards away. Fickler was completely unaware of the ladies' distress call,but when Placepleaded for help, Fickler and his wife, Julie, and his daughter and son, Stephanie and Christopher, Peek under the covers The Ranger News exposed Sarah Olsen Co-Editor~in-Chief All work and no play makes for a boring newspaper.

Newspaper staff creates legacy for journalists Sarah Olsen Co-Editor-in-Chief The staff of The Ranger News returned from the National College Newspaper Convention Sunday, March 25th prepared to toss tradition and custom out the window. Armed with enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge, the staff is working to transform The Ranger into the true voice of the student body by ushering in a new legacy of journahsm at Parkside. The first order of business to be performed upon returning to Parkside was to shock the reporters at the regular Monday meeting. "1 told the reporters that the newspaper sucks, but we now have the ability to change 'that" says Sarah Olsen, co-editor-inchief. "We did not know how to properly run a newspaper· before, but that is not the case anymore." Staff members are busy sharing the knowledge they learned at the conference and training a team to take over the newspaper next year. Attendants of the regular Monday meetings are taking part in seminars designed to help writers become better journalists. The reporters are learning basic journalism skills such as how to write a better headline and how to get a good interview, with more information on the way. In addition to implementing new training techniques, the staff has been restructured and new positions have been created. The staff is recruiting journalists, investigative reporters, cartoonists, political analysts, design and layout managers, and opinion essayists who are willing to be innovative and take risks. The most obvious change to the newspaper is apparent in the new layout designed by Forchette. "In order to be able to compete with other newspapers, the design needed to become more innovative, daring, original, and fun" says Porchette, who attended several seminars where he was Continued on page 5 .~-~- ..........

ByBrenda Dunham One night Christine, Sarah, and I went for dessert at Mel's Diner. Our waiter asked where we were from, and when I responded with "We're from Wisconsin" he laughed and repeated "Wes-KONsin?!" Apparently, we all have accents - ken ya imagen that, eh? Westarted taking notice of our Canadian accents and quickly became the butts of our own jokes. I, however, won the award for "Most Predominant WesKON-sin Accent." Don't ya know that San Francisco doesn't have cows, unless it is a statue in front of Hard Rock Cafe? Just to warn you if you go to San Francisco don't be asking for a Tyme machine. People will think ya're literally nuts. San Franciscans don't have bubblers, they drink from water fountains. They also don't have soda, they drink pop. If'n ya ken remember the lingo you'll be better off than us, and maybe you won't even be laughed at. As ya can imagen its good to be horne were the way I talk doesn't stand out so much. However I'll have to be putting my cote (coat) and boo-uts (boots) back on. The Walking Germ By Dan White b Unfortunately, I ended ul?, emg "the walking germ' because I caught a cold due to the change ill the climate. Although 1was sick for a good portion of the trip I did manage to attend the seminars. I also managed to give a cold to another member of the group and who knows how many other people! I learned many keys to maintaining the funds of the newspaper, successful advertising strategies, and to not blow your nose with hotel Kleenex (it really hurts after too many blows!) Hopefully, the techniques I learned will keep the newspaper healthy - unlike myself! "When in Rome, do as the Romans" By Pete Forchette During the normal school day, it is not uncommon for people to hear me quote a song, poem, or movie. But while in San Francisco, I found myself saying a quote in particular more than any other - "While in Rome, do as the Romans." Now, don't get carried away, as I certainly didn't, I assure you. But one can't help but notice how different things are away from Keno-where (Kenosha). One of the very first things that struck me as odd was the ride from the airport in San Francisco to our hotel downtown. We were graciously escorted by our taxi cab driver, first tluough a red and blue gang war zone, and then past a popular transsexual prostitution comer. Now, you Just can't find those kind of things in your backyard around here .: The next morning I awoke to the hustle and bustle of the city life below me. Hills made of buildings and houses dictated the movements of all the sports cars, buses, and trolleys that crawled along its alleys. The wildlife we encountered along the- way later that week also made me stop and think. The waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe got us all "rowdy," a metallic robot man was passing out candy to strangers for spare change. And who could forget about Aunt Charlie, the eccentric, cross-dressing drag queen? -- So, as you can see I had plenty of reasons for blurting out my quote of quotes during my adventure ill Rome, I mean San Francisco. And in case you were wondering, no, I didn't leave my heart there. The Bitch By Sarah Olsen Sometimes in life we are forced to assume a role that is not our usual disposition. While in San Francisco, I became "The Bitch" of the group - not to my group, just to those who got in my way. The first time my temper was tested was when we arrived in St. Louis for a layover. After a quick bite to eat, we headed to the ticket counter ready to embark on our connecting flight to the golden city. Imagine our surprise when the snippy flight attendant announced, "Your plane already left." Immediately my hand flew to my hip and my inner bitch was unleashed. "What do you mean our plane left? We still have at least one minute before the .plane is supposed to depart!" Needless to say, we are not seasoned travelers and this experience has laught us a valuable lesson regarding time management. After an extended layover, and an impossibly long flight, we finally arrived at the hotel, 6 a.m, Wisconsin time, 4 a.m. San Francisco time. We trudged to the counter, ready to welcome some Holiday Inn hospitality. The gentleman at the counter punched our names into the counter and promptly announced, "We do not have your rooms anymore." Now, I am not normally a horrible person, but our little friend at the counter would swear otherwise. "What do you mean we don't have a room?" I asked, as a deadly caIm settled over the lobby. I'm not sure what happened next, but according to first-hand accounts, my eyes glowed red, my head spun in circles on my neck, and the man at the counter suddenly found two available rooms. Tour Guide Barbie By Christine Agaiby "Rise and shine everybody, we have a busy day ahead of us and we can t just waste the day in bed now, can we?" You may think it's easy_ always being the peppy, energetic one, but maybe you should try waking up four crab-asses used to sleeping in until afternoon class. On the agenda for the first day, we started with breakfast at Ghiradelli Square where I forced scalding posh coffee down their tluoats. I wanted lively group members at the meetings, not sleep)' ones. After the morning conferences we had lunch in Chinatown where I forced them to eat crab rangoons. No one was going to be Jicky about trying new foo on this trip; I didn't care if ther were allergic to shellfish. then quickly ushered them into the trolley headed towards Fisherman's Wharf where we utilized brief photo opportunities. I had something truly special planned for the evening. We sang and danced, mingling with the best of the locals at Aunt Charlie's, a drag queen hot spot. All this and more, packed into one exhausting day. Besides planning every detail of the trip, I was also responsible for translating for the WesKon-sinite, soothing the germ, taming the Roman, and calming the bitch._ As you can see, we truly did succeed in doing it all on this trip and still made it to all our meetings without a problem. I hope you've all enjoyed reading about our wonderful experience and have found the trip 'to be as fascinating as we did. It was great having you along as you ventured through our grand voyage to San Francisco. B'bye now. B'bye, B'bye. B'bye, now. B'bye. Are they lone yet. ..are thJ::Jlkne? Goo ,my cheeks are . . g me.

March 8, 2001 Go ahead and spoil yourself with Chaco/at Lynn Garcia Staff Reporter C hoco/at, nominated for Best Picture, takes place in a small French village. Almost everyone in the community is religious and does not allow themselves to enjoy the pleasures of life. The mayor, Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), literally runs the village. The young priest has to have his sermon looked at and approved before he preaches it to the village people. It's almost as if the mayor is God. Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter, Anouk arrive in the village and open a chocolate shop just in time for Lent. They are immediately looked down upon since they do not attend church and are tempting people during such a sacred time. Vianne keeps her chin up and befriends her landlady, Armande Voizen (Judi Dench), who feels as if she is all alone in the world. Armande's daughter will not speak to her or allow her to see her grandson. Vianne tries her best to keep her business afloat. She gives out free sampies and soon the customers return for more. In the meantime some river rats arrive and the mayor tries to run them out of town. Vianne hires Roux to do some handy work around the shop. This doesn't sit well with the Mayor and he comes up with a plan to get rid of Vianne. Comte de Reynaud gets sick of everyone spoiling themselves with chocolate so he writes a sermon telling the village people that Vianne is Satan and that her sweet treat is like the forbidden fruit. Will the community listen and not return to Vianne's shop or will the people continue to indulge in the chocolate? I strongly suggest seeing this film. Itis absolutely fantastic. The performances are superb and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the film is recognized and takes at least one Oscar home. Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, stars in award-nominated You Can Count on Me Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, got his first Significant movie recognition in this winter's You Can Count on Me. Viewers might recognize Ruffalo from UPN's "The Beat." He has currently been preoccupied with his recent fame from his portrayal of Terry, a easy come-easy go charmer who visits his older sister to reflect upon his current dead-end life. His sister, Sammy, played by Laura Linney, IS a divorced mother with a son of 8 who is involved with a man who doesn't excite her, Bob, and a new boss she can't stand to work with on any level. Linney; was honored for her portrayal of Sammy this year, as she was norrunated for Best Actress by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The story opens up with the audience being introduced to Sammy and Terry's parents, as they are heading home in the middle of a rainstorm. Then the audience is immediately introduced to Sammy and Terry, as we see them at their parents' funeral from the crash they encountered with a semi that night. The beginning is a little flat to start with, but then the movie fast forwards to the children when they are older and on their own. Terry has been leading a reckless life and decides to rekindle his relationship with his sister, Sammy, and her son, lems with her new boss, played by Matthew Broderick, though. Broderick is in constant disturbance over he authority that Sammy has over him with the workers on her side. It seems as ifthese tow can't agree upon anything, but out of their pent up range must have ignited a spark between them. Soon Sammy is having an affair with her boss, and both her and Terry are back to reliving their old lives when they were wild teens. The rekindling of these siblings brings back their rowdy behavior, but also awakens them to their respective dependence on each other. They fill the void in each other's lives where there is no happiness. In the end, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, In a scene from You each comes to this concluCan Count on Me.

Choco/at is nominated for Best Picture and tells the story of a young woman whose enchanted sweets awaken passion In a staid French village. Rush is a triumph and another Oscar nominee Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Quills is the latest feature starring Geoffrey Rush, in which he pulled off another stellar performance to his prior award-winning act in Shine. As you may recall, Rush was awarded best actor back in 1998 when the controversial subtraction of Leonardo DiCaprio was left off the voting roster. This year he is nominated again -for his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade, the late 18th century, French, pornographic author. The movie features other phenomenal displays of acting by Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbey Cloutier, Kate WirISlet as the laundry wench, Madeline, and Michael Caine as the officer of corrections, Corrder. Caine, who was last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, Wmslet, who was nominated for her 1998 performance ill Titanic, and Phoenix, who IS up for Best Supporting Actor this year for Gladiator, assure the movie of an excellence in quality of acting. The story takes place in late 18th century France under the rule of dictator, Napolean Bonaparte. When his advisors inform him of the peddling of pornograp~y that is goin~ on his country s streets, he is infuriated and determined to silence the author of these crude works, the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis, on the other hand, has been confined to an asylum already for a few years before N apolean discovered his ways of corruption. He has secretly distributed his work through the chambermaid, Madefine; played by WInslet, by hiding his documents with his pick up of his daily linens. Now, the Abbey Cloutier of the asylum, portrayed by Phoenix, has hospitably catered to the Marquis for the entirety of his stay. He has always been aware of the Marquis' past hobby of writing his filth, but he has been ignorant of the Marquis' latest covert productions of his pornography.

Rodriguez was hired as a visiting assistant professor and was offered a tenure-track position, which he declined. Rodriguez chose Princeton because, . "it was a great opporturuty to work with some of the leading academics in [his] field and teach in the broad area of southwestern United States history." In addition to teaching classes, he plans to do research in the area of social movements and civil rights in both the southwest and among Mexican Americans on the Midwestern frontier. Jerry Greenfield, chair of the History department, said "I was happy for him - Princeton is one of the finest universities in the nation, so it was a great opportunity for Professor Rodriguez." Parkside interviewed Rodriguez in September 2000, and he joined the University in January 2001. He was hired to focus on the United States civil rights history and on the Mexican American history component in particular. The history department is currently looking for a replacement to fill the position left vacant by Rodriguez. "We returned to the search after Professor Rodriguez let us know that he had the Princeton offer. The search committee already has had candidates [and] ... We hope to have a positive response within a few weeks"said Greenfield. Rodriguez is a Mexican American who was born in Wisconsin, and settled in southeastern Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in History. He received both his Master and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.

Well, not fat, not really. That is to say, I'm not obese. "You're not fat!" he asserts, with a tone warning that he does not want to hear me run down the usual list of fatty assets. His anger is the typical response to my whining; it is typical of all men who hear a woman make this famous assertion. The answer is formulaic and expected. So, why do women say it if we know they are going to answer with the prescribed reply? Iam not attempting to make myself the center of attention, and Iam definitely not fishing for compliments. I am well aware that anyone skilled in basic manners is not going to tell me I'm fat to my face, even if they think I really am. It is not to fulfill my ego. I do not want you to tell me that I am skinny, nor do.I want you to tell me that I am perfect, because I'm not. Ibelieve that many men think a compliment is the motive behind our claim, that our egos are so pitiful they need to be stroked at least once an hour. I can not defend all women, but I can assure you that my ego is not as needy and pathetic as to actually announce to any person that I am grossly fat, in hopes of a reflexive compliment in return. Perhaps, as you read this, you are rolling your eyes, wondering at the audacity of someone who would complain about something so seerrungly trivial in comparison to a larger social issue such as world hunger. Let me assure you that this is not trivial to me or to most other typical women. I am constantly submerged in thin ima~es, slogans are sublimated With attacks on my selfesteem, and the forced competition to look better than the next woman is fierce. A large part of my life has been consumed with this incessant worry; in fact, a large portion of my day is devoted to mentally berating myself for my numerous bodily flaws. The path to finding the truth about why Ibelieve Iam fat is a difficult and treacherous one. It is wrought by media representations, distorted by self-perception, and clouded with painful memories. It seems an insurmountable task to explicate the pain that is invisible to society, the double-standard that is acceptable in everyday media, and the shame that is a constant source of confusion to me. You may not understand the pressure that a woman feels continuously harassing her throughout a typical day. As a woman, I am taught to be uneasy about my appearance. On any given_ morning, I wake up to hear an announcer on the radio touting the newest product on the diet market a miracle weight· loss pill. He explains the logic for using the miracle diet (thinner thighs, a flat, firm, stomach, a shapelier butt) and finishes with an acute observation - "If your diet hasn't worked for you yet, what makes you think it ever will?" The television is on as my usual morning routine is rehearsed. Cover Girl reminds me, the target audience, to use their concealer if Iwant to be an "ea.sy,,, h,reezy, beautiful cover girl, L oreal encourages me to beautify "Because I'm worth .it," and Maybelline whispers if Iwasn't born with it, at least they can help . ("Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline"). My breakfast is a healthy and nutritional shake, courtesy of Slim-Fast. While I thumb through a woman's magazine, an article leaps out of the page encouraging me to accept my body the way it is. Opposite the article is an ad picturing an impossibly skinny woman and a gorgeous man staring lovingly down at her. All this is bother me. Why indeed? Inthe grand scheme of the universe, my body weight is not important. It will not land me a good job, provide me with lots of money, or secure my personal _happiness - or will it? In my experience, beauty and figure are many times the inducement for all these things. Are women valuable to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because they have a charming personality and a sharp sense of wit? Does the "fat girl" you personally know have dates every weekend and men who value her intellect over her appearance? How many times have you overheard a male telling his friends he would never go out with a certain girl because IIshe exceeds his maximum weight limit?"

If Iam not careful, all the terrible things that "fat girls" go through will Soon become my fate. I may seem vain in the sense that Iseem preoccupied with my physical appearance. Vanity, however, suggests a certain satisfaction with one's appearance, the belief that perfection has been achieved. r could not be any farther away from this in my mind. It is the rare occasion when Ihave looked in the mirror and have not had a ready insult na~ging at the edge of my conscience. If my claim is not for vanity, for a compliment, or for an expected answer, then it is for two entirely different purposes. On the most basic level, itis a weak plea for understanding, for empathy in its simplest form. Iwant someone to relate to my self-loathing, a person who knows what it is like to be unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. If you simply answer with "You're not fat," then Iknow you don't understand. Ask me to explain myself, let me sniffle on your shoulder as I explain my deficiencies, or tell me that you understand what it is like not to live up to a certain image. Explain to me that you know why I think I'm fat but that you don't agree. Secondly, I am pleading with you to stop buying into the mediated images of feminine perfection. I need you to realize that although the skinniest model may be attractive, so is the healthiest of "real" women. Allow yourself to appreciate the feminine body in it.s various forms, not just the Image that is repeated in every commercial, ad, and music video. Tell the woman in your life that you think she is beautiful to you, not because she has the thinnest, longest legs, not because her butt can fit in the palm of your hand, and not because her six-pack rivals that of your own. Tell her that she is perfect because she was made just they way you warited.

The second purpose was to give undergraduates students the opportunity to work on projects with the ITPC business partners. This lab was a joint project between the University and Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Wax and Harley Davidson. The idea originated from Cory Mason, an alumni of Parkside, who is director of Information Services at Harley Division. Dirk Baldwin, Associate Professor of Information Systems, says, "I think the ITPC Jab is an important symbol of a strong partnership between Harley Division, Johnson Wax, Snap-on, and UW-Parkside. The relationship allows students to work with professors and IS professionals to develop problem solving, leadership, teamwork and design skills." He also went on to say, "The relationship also allows the students to use some of the latest equipment used in industry. I think it is an exciting opportunity for UW-Parkside that distinguishes us from many other universities. " When asked about the success of the lab, Professor Baldwin said, "I think this lab is very successful, but we are just starting." He also indicated that the long-term overall success of the lab is based on short-term goals, such as each individual project and semester, and long-term goals. "However, we have project goals each year and sub-goals each semester. At least along some dimensions we canmeasure our success by comparing progress to our project goals. On a longer-term basis, we will measure success through our relationships with the partners, the number of MIS and computer science students using the lab, the number of new MIS and computer science students in the program, and the placement of March 8, 2001 our students in full time jobs." This lab is different from a standard lab due to the fact it is only used, for special projects and contains software that is not available in other labs, such as Visual Studio, Oracle and Business Objects. Secondly, it is set up in more of a conference format so that students can work on projects ill teams. The main emphasis is partnership. For example, students enrolled in the Database Management Systems class can use the lab for extra credit projects. . Currently, mostly MIS students use this lab and an occasional computer science student who is working on a project with Professor Baldwin. One of the plans to improve the lab includes more The Information Technology Practice Center, sponsored by Harley Davidson, Snap.()n com put e r s , Tools, and Johnson Professionals, gives MIS and IS students hands-on experience.

Inside the marooned vehicle were Glorianna Daggy, 79, and Rose Bruno, 88. The students, Joseph Donnerbauer and David Place, both Parkside j0l;igers, waded through the chilly water to pull the women out of the car. "I didn't have a choice" said Place. After three trips to get the women, their walkers, and a blanket from the back of the vehicle, the two students wrapped the ladies in the blanket and offered the shirts off their backs to keep the women's feetwarm. The women had been stranded on the flooded bridge for approximately an hour, and claimed they saw three other cars come down to the bridge and turn back. -"I figured any decent person would have came out and helped:' remarked Donnerbauer. "You'd think a person would have some feelings inside." As Donnerbauer comforted the ailing victims, Place ran to dial 911. Fortunately Joseph KickIer and his family were approximately 100 yards away. Fickler was completely unaware of the ladies' distress call,but when Placepleaded for help, Fickler and his wife, Julie, and his daughter and son, Stephanie and Christopher, Peek under the covers The Ranger News exposed Sarah Olsen Co-Editor~in-Chief All work and no play makes for a boring newspaper.

As Place took the garments back to the women to help keep them warm, Fickler and his familyraced their vehicle over to a nearby gas station to dial 911. After Somers rescue squad members arrived on the scene to escort the two ladies to Aurora Healthcare center, the Pickler family offeredthe two heroes a seatin their car to try to warm them up.

Newspaper staff creates legacy for journalists Sarah Olsen Co-Editor-in-Chief The staff of The Ranger News returned from the National College Newspaper Convention Sunday, March 25th prepared to toss tradition and custom out the window. Armed with enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge, the staff is working to transform The Ranger into the true voice of the student body by ushering in a new legacy of journahsm at Parkside. The first order of business to be performed upon returning to Parkside was to shock the reporters at the regular Monday meeting. "1 told the reporters that the newspaper sucks, but we now have the ability to change 'that" says Sarah Olsen, co-editor-inchief. "We did not know how to properly run a newspaper· before, but that is not the case anymore." Staff members are busy sharing the knowledge they learned at the conference and training a team to take over the newspaper next year. Attendants of the regular Monday meetings are taking part in seminars designed to help writers become better journalists. The reporters are learning basic journalism skills such as how to write a better headline and how to get a good interview, with more information on the way. In addition to implementing new training techniques, the staff has been restructured and new positions have been created. The staff is recruiting journalists, investigative reporters, cartoonists, political analysts, design and layout managers, and opinion essayists who are willing to be innovative and take risks. The most obvious change to the newspaper is apparent in the new layout designed by Forchette. "In order to be able to compete with other newspapers, the design needed to become more innovative, daring, original, and fun" says Porchette, who attended several seminars where he was Continued on page 5 .~-~- ..........

ByBrenda Dunham One night Christine, Sarah, and I went for dessert at Mel's Diner. Our waiter asked where we were from, and when I responded with "We're from Wisconsin" he laughed and repeated "Wes-KONsin?!" Apparently, we all have accents - ken ya imagen that, eh? Westarted taking notice of our Canadian accents and quickly became the butts of our own jokes. I, however, won the award for "Most Predominant WesKON-sin Accent." Don't ya know that San Francisco doesn't have cows, unless it is a statue in front of Hard Rock Cafe? Just to warn you if you go to San Francisco don't be asking for a Tyme machine. People will think ya're literally nuts. San Franciscans don't have bubblers, they drink from water fountains. They also don't have soda, they drink pop. If'n ya ken remember the lingo you'll be better off than us, and maybe you won't even be laughed at. As ya can imagen its good to be horne were the way I talk doesn't stand out so much. However I'll have to be putting my cote (coat) and boo-uts (boots) back on. The Walking Germ By Dan White b Unfortunately, I ended ul?, emg "the walking germ' because I caught a cold due to the change ill the climate. Although 1was sick for a good portion of the trip I did manage to attend the seminars. I also managed to give a cold to another member of the group and who knows how many other people! I learned many keys to maintaining the funds of the newspaper, successful advertising strategies, and to not blow your nose with hotel Kleenex (it really hurts after too many blows!) Hopefully, the techniques I learned will keep the newspaper healthy - unlike myself! "When in Rome, do as the Romans" By Pete Forchette During the normal school day, it is not uncommon for people to hear me quote a song, poem, or movie. But while in San Francisco, I found myself saying a quote in particular more than any other - "While in Rome, do as the Romans." Now, don't get carried away, as I certainly didn't, I assure you. But one can't help but notice how different things are away from Keno-where (Kenosha). One of the very first things that struck me as odd was the ride from the airport in San Francisco to our hotel downtown. We were graciously escorted by our taxi cab driver, first tluough a red and blue gang war zone, and then past a popular transsexual prostitution comer. Now, you Just can't find those kind of things in your backyard around here .: The next morning I awoke to the hustle and bustle of the city life below me. Hills made of buildings and houses dictated the movements of all the sports cars, buses, and trolleys that crawled along its alleys. The wildlife we encountered along the- way later that week also made me stop and think. The waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe got us all "rowdy," a metallic robot man was passing out candy to strangers for spare change. And who could forget about Aunt Charlie, the eccentric, cross-dressing drag queen? -- So, as you can see I had plenty of reasons for blurting out my quote of quotes during my adventure ill Rome, I mean San Francisco. And in case you were wondering, no, I didn't leave my heart there. The Bitch By Sarah Olsen Sometimes in life we are forced to assume a role that is not our usual disposition. While in San Francisco, I became "The Bitch" of the group - not to my group, just to those who got in my way. The first time my temper was tested was when we arrived in St. Louis for a layover. After a quick bite to eat, we headed to the ticket counter ready to embark on our connecting flight to the golden city. Imagine our surprise when the snippy flight attendant announced, "Your plane already left." Immediately my hand flew to my hip and my inner bitch was unleashed. "What do you mean our plane left? We still have at least one minute before the .plane is supposed to depart!" Needless to say, we are not seasoned travelers and this experience has laught us a valuable lesson regarding time management. After an extended layover, and an impossibly long flight, we finally arrived at the hotel, 6 a.m, Wisconsin time, 4 a.m. San Francisco time. We trudged to the counter, ready to welcome some Holiday Inn hospitality. The gentleman at the counter punched our names into the counter and promptly announced, "We do not have your rooms anymore." Now, I am not normally a horrible person, but our little friend at the counter would swear otherwise. "What do you mean we don't have a room?" I asked, as a deadly caIm settled over the lobby. I'm not sure what happened next, but according to first-hand accounts, my eyes glowed red, my head spun in circles on my neck, and the man at the counter suddenly found two available rooms. Tour Guide Barbie By Christine Agaiby "Rise and shine everybody, we have a busy day ahead of us and we can t just waste the day in bed now, can we?" You may think it's easy_ always being the peppy, energetic one, but maybe you should try waking up four crab-asses used to sleeping in until afternoon class. On the agenda for the first day, we started with breakfast at Ghiradelli Square where I forced scalding posh coffee down their tluoats. I wanted lively group members at the meetings, not sleep)' ones. After the morning conferences we had lunch in Chinatown where I forced them to eat crab rangoons. No one was going to be Jicky about trying new foo on this trip; I didn't care if ther were allergic to shellfish. then quickly ushered them into the trolley headed towards Fisherman's Wharf where we utilized brief photo opportunities. I had something truly special planned for the evening. We sang and danced, mingling with the best of the locals at Aunt Charlie's, a drag queen hot spot. All this and more, packed into one exhausting day. Besides planning every detail of the trip, I was also responsible for translating for the WesKon-sinite, soothing the germ, taming the Roman, and calming the bitch._ As you can see, we truly did succeed in doing it all on this trip and still made it to all our meetings without a problem. I hope you've all enjoyed reading about our wonderful experience and have found the trip 'to be as fascinating as we did. It was great having you along as you ventured through our grand voyage to San Francisco. B'bye now. B'bye, B'bye. B'bye, now. B'bye. Are they lone yet. ..are thJ::Jlkne? Goo ,my cheeks are . . g me. I really can't smile this much anymore. Can I take a break now? Just a little break? Great. WHAT'S ON YOUR RESUME?

March 8, 2001 Go ahead and spoil yourself with Chaco/at Lynn Garcia Staff Reporter C hoco/at, nominated for Best Picture, takes place in a small French village. Almost everyone in the community is religious and does not allow themselves to enjoy the pleasures of life. The mayor, Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), literally runs the village. The young priest has to have his sermon looked at and approved before he preaches it to the village people. It's almost as if the mayor is God. Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter, Anouk arrive in the village and open a chocolate shop just in time for Lent. They are immediately looked down upon since they do not attend church and are tempting people during such a sacred time. Vianne keeps her chin up and befriends her landlady, Armande Voizen (Judi Dench), who feels as if she is all alone in the world. Armande's daughter will not speak to her or allow her to see her grandson. Vianne tries her best to keep her business afloat. She gives out free sampies and soon the customers return for more. In the meantime some river rats arrive and the mayor tries to run them out of town. Vianne hires Roux to do some handy work around the shop. This doesn't sit well with the Mayor and he comes up with a plan to get rid of Vianne. Comte de Reynaud gets sick of everyone spoiling themselves with chocolate so he writes a sermon telling the village people that Vianne is Satan and that her sweet treat is like the forbidden fruit. Will the community listen and not return to Vianne's shop or will the people continue to indulge in the chocolate? I strongly suggest seeing this film. Itis absolutely fantastic. The performances are superb and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the film is recognized and takes at least one Oscar home. Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, stars in award-nominated You Can Count on Me Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, got his first Significant movie recognition in this winter's You Can Count on Me. Viewers might recognize Ruffalo from UPN's "The Beat." He has currently been preoccupied with his recent fame from his portrayal of Terry, a easy come-easy go charmer who visits his older sister to reflect upon his current dead-end life. His sister, Sammy, played by Laura Linney, IS a divorced mother with a son of 8 who is involved with a man who doesn't excite her, Bob, and a new boss she can't stand to work with on any level. Linney; was honored for her portrayal of Sammy this year, as she was norrunated for Best Actress by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The story opens up with the audience being introduced to Sammy and Terry's parents, as they are heading home in the middle of a rainstorm. Then the audience is immediately introduced to Sammy and Terry, as we see them at their parents' funeral from the crash they encountered with a semi that night. The beginning is a little flat to start with, but then the movie fast forwards to the children when they are older and on their own. Terry has been leading a reckless life and decides to rekindle his relationship with his sister, Sammy, and her son, lems with her new boss, played by Matthew Broderick, though. Broderick is in constant disturbance over he authority that Sammy has over him with the workers on her side. It seems as ifthese tow can't agree upon anything, but out of their pent up range must have ignited a spark between them. Soon Sammy is having an affair with her boss, and both her and Terry are back to reliving their old lives when they were wild teens. The rekindling of these siblings brings back their rowdy behavior, but also awakens them to their respective dependence on each other. They fill the void in each other's lives where there is no happiness. In the end, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, In a scene from You each comes to this concluCan Count on Me.

Choco/at is nominated for Best Picture and tells the story of a young woman whose enchanted sweets awaken passion In a staid French village. Rush is a triumph and another Oscar nominee Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Quills is the latest feature starring Geoffrey Rush, in which he pulled off another stellar performance to his prior award-winning act in Shine. As you may recall, Rush was awarded best actor back in 1998 when the controversial subtraction of Leonardo DiCaprio was left off the voting roster. This year he is nominated again -for his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade, the late 18th century, French, pornographic author. The movie features other phenomenal displays of acting by Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbey Cloutier, Kate WirISlet as the laundry wench, Madeline, and Michael Caine as the officer of corrections, Corrder. Caine, who was last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, Wmslet, who was nominated for her 1998 performance ill Titanic, and Phoenix, who IS up for Best Supporting Actor this year for Gladiator, assure the movie of an excellence in quality of acting. The story takes place in late 18th century France under the rule of dictator, Napolean Bonaparte. When his advisors inform him of the peddling of pornograp~y that is goin~ on his country s streets, he is infuriated and determined to silence the author of these crude works, the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis, on the other hand, has been confined to an asylum already for a few years before N apolean discovered his ways of corruption. He has secretly distributed his work through the chambermaid, Madefine; played by WInslet, by hiding his documents with his pick up of his daily linens. Now, the Abbey Cloutier of the asylum, portrayed by Phoenix, has hospitably catered to the Marquis for the entirety of his stay. He has always been aware of the Marquis' past hobby of writing his filth, but he has been ignorant of the Marquis' latest covert productions of his pornography. When Napoleon sends the renowned Corrder, a supreme corrections officer, played by Caine, to intercept the coalillOn of the Marquis and Madeline, Cloutier is distraught over "!" friends' betrayal. The MarqUIS went behind Cloutier's back SO he could distribute his work. This leaves the abbey with the regretful job of stril'ping. the Marquis of all of his writing utensils.

Rodriguez was hired as a visiting assistant professor and was offered a tenure-track position, which he declined. Rodriguez chose Princeton because, . "it was a great opporturuty to work with some of the leading academics in [his] field and teach in the broad area of southwestern United States history." In addition to teaching classes, he plans to do research in the area of social movements and civil rights in both the southwest and among Mexican Americans on the Midwestern frontier. Jerry Greenfield, chair of the History department, said "I was happy for him - Princeton is one of the finest universities in the nation, so it was a great opportunity for Professor Rodriguez." Parkside interviewed Rodriguez in September 2000, and he joined the University in January 2001. He was hired to focus on the United States civil rights history and on the Mexican American history component in particular. The history department is currently looking for a replacement to fill the position left vacant by Rodriguez. "We returned to the search after Professor Rodriguez let us know that he had the Princeton offer. The search committee already has had candidates [and] ... We hope to have a positive response within a few weeks"said Greenfield. Rodriguez is a Mexican American who was born in Wisconsin, and settled in southeastern Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in History. He received both his Master and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.

Well, not fat, not really. That is to say, I'm not obese. "You're not fat!" he asserts, with a tone warning that he does not want to hear me run down the usual list of fatty assets. His anger is the typical response to my whining; it is typical of all men who hear a woman make this famous assertion. The answer is formulaic and expected. So, why do women say it if we know they are going to answer with the prescribed reply? Iam not attempting to make myself the center of attention, and Iam definitely not fishing for compliments. I am well aware that anyone skilled in basic manners is not going to tell me I'm fat to my face, even if they think I really am. It is not to fulfill my ego. I do not want you to tell me that I am skinny, nor do.I want you to tell me that I am perfect, because I'm not. Ibelieve that many men think a compliment is the motive behind our claim, that our egos are so pitiful they need to be stroked at least once an hour. I can not defend all women, but I can assure you that my ego is not as needy and pathetic as to actually announce to any person that I am grossly fat, in hopes of a reflexive compliment in return. Perhaps, as you read this, you are rolling your eyes, wondering at the audacity of someone who would complain about something so seerrungly trivial in comparison to a larger social issue such as world hunger. Let me assure you that this is not trivial to me or to most other typical women. I am constantly submerged in thin ima~es, slogans are sublimated With attacks on my selfesteem, and the forced competition to look better than the next woman is fierce. A large part of my life has been consumed with this incessant worry; in fact, a large portion of my day is devoted to mentally berating myself for my numerous bodily flaws. The path to finding the truth about why Ibelieve Iam fat is a difficult and treacherous one. It is wrought by media representations, distorted by self-perception, and clouded with painful memories. It seems an insurmountable task to explicate the pain that is invisible to society, the double-standard that is acceptable in everyday media, and the shame that is a constant source of confusion to me. You may not understand the pressure that a woman feels continuously harassing her throughout a typical day. As a woman, I am taught to be uneasy about my appearance. On any given_ morning, I wake up to hear an announcer on the radio touting the newest product on the diet market a miracle weight· loss pill. He explains the logic for using the miracle diet (thinner thighs, a flat, firm, stomach, a shapelier butt) and finishes with an acute observation - "If your diet hasn't worked for you yet, what makes you think it ever will?" The television is on as my usual morning routine is rehearsed. Cover Girl reminds me, the target audience, to use their concealer if Iwant to be an "ea.sy,,, h,reezy, beautiful cover girl, L oreal encourages me to beautify "Because I'm worth .it," and Maybelline whispers if Iwasn't born with it, at least they can help . ("Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline"). My breakfast is a healthy and nutritional shake, courtesy of Slim-Fast. While I thumb through a woman's magazine, an article leaps out of the page encouraging me to accept my body the way it is. Opposite the article is an ad picturing an impossibly skinny woman and a gorgeous man staring lovingly down at her. All this is bother me. Why indeed? Inthe grand scheme of the universe, my body weight is not important. It will not land me a good job, provide me with lots of money, or secure my personal _happiness - or will it? In my experience, beauty and figure are many times the inducement for all these things. Are women valuable to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because they have a charming personality and a sharp sense of wit? Does the "fat girl" you personally know have dates every weekend and men who value her intellect over her appearance? How many times have you overheard a male telling his friends he would never go out with a certain girl because IIshe exceeds his maximum weight limit?" For women, the relationship between money ana appearance is undeniable. On weekends, I work as a cocktail waitress at a trendy nightclub. Jessica, my conservativelyclad co-worker, has been told if she Cartoonby TyroneA. Payton wants a bigger tip, she should show barely able to fit into Calvin more cleavage.

Shopping in a department store is possibly the most grueling attack on my sense of well being. I am always ashamed to find that Iwear the largest size in the junior's department, and, that a size 13714 borders on being fullfigured. Calvin Klein does not make sizes beyond mine, a message that is not missed or misunderstood. Clearly, I am March 8, 2001 tasting morsel Ieat, and have adapted to fear the opinion of others. This is not a selfinduced fear. Ido not imagine these things; they are very real pervasive, and harmful. 1 feel as if Ihave no choice but to be obsessed with my body weight. If Iam not careful, all the terrible things that "fat girls" go through will Soon become my fate. I may seem vain in the sense that Iseem preoccupied with my physical appearance. Vanity, however, suggests a certain satisfaction with one's appearance, the belief that perfection has been achieved. r could not be any farther away from this in my mind. It is the rare occasion when Ihave looked in the mirror and have not had a ready insult na~ging at the edge of my conscience. If my claim is not for vanity, for a compliment, or for an expected answer, then it is for two entirely different purposes. On the most basic level, itis a weak plea for understanding, for empathy in its simplest form. Iwant someone to relate to my self-loathing, a person who knows what it is like to be unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. If you simply answer with "You're not fat," then Iknow you don't understand. Ask me to explain myself, let me sniffle on your shoulder as I explain my deficiencies, or tell me that you understand what it is like not to live up to a certain image. Explain to me that you know why I think I'm fat but that you don't agree. Secondly, I am pleading with you to stop buying into the mediated images of feminine perfection. I need you to realize that although the skinniest model may be attractive, so is the healthiest of "real" women. Allow yourself to appreciate the feminine body in it.s various forms, not just the Image that is repeated in every commercial, ad, and music video. Tell the woman in your life that you think she is beautiful to you, not because she has the thinnest, longest legs, not because her butt can fit in the palm of your hand, and not because her six-pack rivals that of your own. Tell her that she is perfect because she was made just they way you warited.

The second purpose was to give undergraduates students the opportunity to work on projects with the ITPC business partners. This lab was a joint project between the University and Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Wax and Harley Davidson. The idea originated from Cory Mason, an alumni of Parkside, who is director of Information Services at Harley Division. Dirk Baldwin, Associate Professor of Information Systems, says, "I think the ITPC Jab is an important symbol of a strong partnership between Harley Division, Johnson Wax, Snap-on, and UW-Parkside. The relationship allows students to work with professors and IS professionals to develop problem solving, leadership, teamwork and design skills." He also went on to say, "The relationship also allows the students to use some of the latest equipment used in industry. I think it is an exciting opportunity for UW-Parkside that distinguishes us from many other universities. " When asked about the success of the lab, Professor Baldwin said, "I think this lab is very successful, but we are just starting." He also indicated that the long-term overall success of the lab is based on short-term goals, such as each individual project and semester, and long-term goals. "However, we have project goals each year and sub-goals each semester. At least along some dimensions we canmeasure our success by comparing progress to our project goals. On a longer-term basis, we will measure success through our relationships with the partners, the number of MIS and computer science students using the lab, the number of new MIS and computer science students in the program, and the placement of March 8, 2001 our students in full time jobs." This lab is different from a standard lab due to the fact it is only used, for special projects and contains software that is not available in other labs, such as Visual Studio, Oracle and Business Objects. Secondly, it is set up in more of a conference format so that students can work on projects ill teams. The main emphasis is partnership. For example, students enrolled in the Database Management Systems class can use the lab for extra credit projects. . Currently, mostly MIS students use this lab and an occasional computer science student who is working on a project with Professor Baldwin. One of the plans to improve the lab includes more The Information Technology Practice Center, sponsored by Harley Davidson, Snap.()n com put e r s , Tools, and Johnson Professionals, gives MIS and IS students hands-on experience.

Inside the marooned vehicle were Glorianna Daggy, 79, and Rose Bruno, 88. The students, Joseph Donnerbauer and David Place, both Parkside j0l;igers, waded through the chilly water to pull the women out of the car. "I didn't have a choice" said Place. After three trips to get the women, their walkers, and a blanket from the back of the vehicle, the two students wrapped the ladies in the blanket and offered the shirts off their backs to keep the women's feetwarm. The women had been stranded on the flooded bridge for approximately an hour, and claimed they saw three other cars come down to the bridge and turn back. -"I figured any decent person would have came out and helped:' remarked Donnerbauer. "You'd think a person would have some feelings inside." As Donnerbauer comforted the ailing victims, Place ran to dial 911. Fortunately Joseph KickIer and his family were approximately 100 yards away. Fickler was completely unaware of the ladies' distress call,but when Placepleaded for help, Fickler and his wife, Julie, and his daughter and son, Stephanie and Christopher, Peek under the covers The Ranger News exposed Sarah Olsen Co-Editor~in-Chief All work and no play makes for a boring newspaper.

As Place took the garments back to the women to help keep them warm, Fickler and his familyraced their vehicle over to a nearby gas station to dial 911. After Somers rescue squad members arrived on the scene to escort the two ladies to Aurora Healthcare center, the Pickler family offeredthe two heroes a seatin their car to try to warm them up.

Newspaper staff creates legacy for journalists Sarah Olsen Co-Editor-in-Chief The staff of The Ranger News returned from the National College Newspaper Convention Sunday, March 25th prepared to toss tradition and custom out the window. Armed with enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge, the staff is working to transform The Ranger into the true voice of the student body by ushering in a new legacy of journahsm at Parkside. The first order of business to be performed upon returning to Parkside was to shock the reporters at the regular Monday meeting. "1 told the reporters that the newspaper sucks, but we now have the ability to change 'that" says Sarah Olsen, co-editor-inchief. "We did not know how to properly run a newspaper· before, but that is not the case anymore." Staff members are busy sharing the knowledge they learned at the conference and training a team to take over the newspaper next year. Attendants of the regular Monday meetings are taking part in seminars designed to help writers become better journalists. The reporters are learning basic journalism skills such as how to write a better headline and how to get a good interview, with more information on the way. In addition to implementing new training techniques, the staff has been restructured and new positions have been created. The staff is recruiting journalists, investigative reporters, cartoonists, political analysts, design and layout managers, and opinion essayists who are willing to be innovative and take risks. The most obvious change to the newspaper is apparent in the new layout designed by Forchette. "In order to be able to compete with other newspapers, the design needed to become more innovative, daring, original, and fun" says Porchette, who attended several seminars where he was Continued on page 5 .~-~- ..........

ByBrenda Dunham One night Christine, Sarah, and I went for dessert at Mel's Diner. Our waiter asked where we were from, and when I responded with "We're from Wisconsin" he laughed and repeated "Wes-KONsin?!" Apparently, we all have accents - ken ya imagen that, eh? Westarted taking notice of our Canadian accents and quickly became the butts of our own jokes. I, however, won the award for "Most Predominant WesKON-sin Accent." Don't ya know that San Francisco doesn't have cows, unless it is a statue in front of Hard Rock Cafe? Just to warn you if you go to San Francisco don't be asking for a Tyme machine. People will think ya're literally nuts. San Franciscans don't have bubblers, they drink from water fountains. They also don't have soda, they drink pop. If'n ya ken remember the lingo you'll be better off than us, and maybe you won't even be laughed at. As ya can imagen its good to be horne were the way I talk doesn't stand out so much. However I'll have to be putting my cote (coat) and boo-uts (boots) back on. The Walking Germ By Dan White b Unfortunately, I ended ul?, emg "the walking germ' because I caught a cold due to the change ill the climate. Although 1was sick for a good portion of the trip I did manage to attend the seminars. I also managed to give a cold to another member of the group and who knows how many other people! I learned many keys to maintaining the funds of the newspaper, successful advertising strategies, and to not blow your nose with hotel Kleenex (it really hurts after too many blows!) Hopefully, the techniques I learned will keep the newspaper healthy - unlike myself! "When in Rome, do as the Romans" By Pete Forchette During the normal school day, it is not uncommon for people to hear me quote a song, poem, or movie. But while in San Francisco, I found myself saying a quote in particular more than any other - "While in Rome, do as the Romans." Now, don't get carried away, as I certainly didn't, I assure you. But one can't help but notice how different things are away from Keno-where (Kenosha). One of the very first things that struck me as odd was the ride from the airport in San Francisco to our hotel downtown. We were graciously escorted by our taxi cab driver, first tluough a red and blue gang war zone, and then past a popular transsexual prostitution comer. Now, you Just can't find those kind of things in your backyard around here .: The next morning I awoke to the hustle and bustle of the city life below me. Hills made of buildings and houses dictated the movements of all the sports cars, buses, and trolleys that crawled along its alleys. The wildlife we encountered along the- way later that week also made me stop and think. The waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe got us all "rowdy," a metallic robot man was passing out candy to strangers for spare change. And who could forget about Aunt Charlie, the eccentric, cross-dressing drag queen? -- So, as you can see I had plenty of reasons for blurting out my quote of quotes during my adventure ill Rome, I mean San Francisco. And in case you were wondering, no, I didn't leave my heart there. The Bitch By Sarah Olsen Sometimes in life we are forced to assume a role that is not our usual disposition. While in San Francisco, I became "The Bitch" of the group - not to my group, just to those who got in my way. The first time my temper was tested was when we arrived in St. Louis for a layover. After a quick bite to eat, we headed to the ticket counter ready to embark on our connecting flight to the golden city. Imagine our surprise when the snippy flight attendant announced, "Your plane already left." Immediately my hand flew to my hip and my inner bitch was unleashed. "What do you mean our plane left? We still have at least one minute before the .plane is supposed to depart!" Needless to say, we are not seasoned travelers and this experience has laught us a valuable lesson regarding time management. After an extended layover, and an impossibly long flight, we finally arrived at the hotel, 6 a.m, Wisconsin time, 4 a.m. San Francisco time. We trudged to the counter, ready to welcome some Holiday Inn hospitality. The gentleman at the counter punched our names into the counter and promptly announced, "We do not have your rooms anymore." Now, I am not normally a horrible person, but our little friend at the counter would swear otherwise. "What do you mean we don't have a room?" I asked, as a deadly caIm settled over the lobby. I'm not sure what happened next, but according to first-hand accounts, my eyes glowed red, my head spun in circles on my neck, and the man at the counter suddenly found two available rooms. Tour Guide Barbie By Christine Agaiby "Rise and shine everybody, we have a busy day ahead of us and we can t just waste the day in bed now, can we?" You may think it's easy_ always being the peppy, energetic one, but maybe you should try waking up four crab-asses used to sleeping in until afternoon class. On the agenda for the first day, we started with breakfast at Ghiradelli Square where I forced scalding posh coffee down their tluoats. I wanted lively group members at the meetings, not sleep)' ones. After the morning conferences we had lunch in Chinatown where I forced them to eat crab rangoons. No one was going to be Jicky about trying new foo on this trip; I didn't care if ther were allergic to shellfish. then quickly ushered them into the trolley headed towards Fisherman's Wharf where we utilized brief photo opportunities. I had something truly special planned for the evening. We sang and danced, mingling with the best of the locals at Aunt Charlie's, a drag queen hot spot. All this and more, packed into one exhausting day. Besides planning every detail of the trip, I was also responsible for translating for the WesKon-sinite, soothing the germ, taming the Roman, and calming the bitch._ As you can see, we truly did succeed in doing it all on this trip and still made it to all our meetings without a problem. I hope you've all enjoyed reading about our wonderful experience and have found the trip 'to be as fascinating as we did. It was great having you along as you ventured through our grand voyage to San Francisco. B'bye now. B'bye, B'bye. B'bye, now. B'bye. Are they lone yet. ..are thJ::Jlkne? Goo ,my cheeks are . . g me.

March 8, 2001 Go ahead and spoil yourself with Chaco/at Lynn Garcia Staff Reporter C hoco/at, nominated for Best Picture, takes place in a small French village. Almost everyone in the community is religious and does not allow themselves to enjoy the pleasures of life. The mayor, Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), literally runs the village. The young priest has to have his sermon looked at and approved before he preaches it to the village people. It's almost as if the mayor is God. Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter, Anouk arrive in the village and open a chocolate shop just in time for Lent. They are immediately looked down upon since they do not attend church and are tempting people during such a sacred time. Vianne keeps her chin up and befriends her landlady, Armande Voizen (Judi Dench), who feels as if she is all alone in the world. Armande's daughter will not speak to her or allow her to see her grandson. Vianne tries her best to keep her business afloat. She gives out free sampies and soon the customers return for more. In the meantime some river rats arrive and the mayor tries to run them out of town. Vianne hires Roux to do some handy work around the shop. This doesn't sit well with the Mayor and he comes up with a plan to get rid of Vianne. Comte de Reynaud gets sick of everyone spoiling themselves with chocolate so he writes a sermon telling the village people that Vianne is Satan and that her sweet treat is like the forbidden fruit. Will the community listen and not return to Vianne's shop or will the people continue to indulge in the chocolate? I strongly suggest seeing this film. Itis absolutely fantastic. The performances are superb and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the film is recognized and takes at least one Oscar home. Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, stars in award-nominated You Can Count on Me Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, got his first Significant movie recognition in this winter's You Can Count on Me. Viewers might recognize Ruffalo from UPN's "The Beat." He has currently been preoccupied with his recent fame from his portrayal of Terry, a easy come-easy go charmer who visits his older sister to reflect upon his current dead-end life. His sister, Sammy, played by Laura Linney, IS a divorced mother with a son of 8 who is involved with a man who doesn't excite her, Bob, and a new boss she can't stand to work with on any level. Linney; was honored for her portrayal of Sammy this year, as she was norrunated for Best Actress by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The story opens up with the audience being introduced to Sammy and Terry's parents, as they are heading home in the middle of a rainstorm. Then the audience is immediately introduced to Sammy and Terry, as we see them at their parents' funeral from the crash they encountered with a semi that night. The beginning is a little flat to start with, but then the movie fast forwards to the children when they are older and on their own. Terry has been leading a reckless life and decides to rekindle his relationship with his sister, Sammy, and her son, lems with her new boss, played by Matthew Broderick, though. Broderick is in constant disturbance over he authority that Sammy has over him with the workers on her side. It seems as ifthese tow can't agree upon anything, but out of their pent up range must have ignited a spark between them. Soon Sammy is having an affair with her boss, and both her and Terry are back to reliving their old lives when they were wild teens. The rekindling of these siblings brings back their rowdy behavior, but also awakens them to their respective dependence on each other. They fill the void in each other's lives where there is no happiness. In the end, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, In a scene from You each comes to this concluCan Count on Me.

Choco/at is nominated for Best Picture and tells the story of a young woman whose enchanted sweets awaken passion In a staid French village. Rush is a triumph and another Oscar nominee Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Quills is the latest feature starring Geoffrey Rush, in which he pulled off another stellar performance to his prior award-winning act in Shine. As you may recall, Rush was awarded best actor back in 1998 when the controversial subtraction of Leonardo DiCaprio was left off the voting roster. This year he is nominated again -for his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade, the late 18th century, French, pornographic author. The movie features other phenomenal displays of acting by Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbey Cloutier, Kate WirISlet as the laundry wench, Madeline, and Michael Caine as the officer of corrections, Corrder. Caine, who was last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, Wmslet, who was nominated for her 1998 performance ill Titanic, and Phoenix, who IS up for Best Supporting Actor this year for Gladiator, assure the movie of an excellence in quality of acting. The story takes place in late 18th century France under the rule of dictator, Napolean Bonaparte. When his advisors inform him of the peddling of pornograp~y that is goin~ on his country s streets, he is infuriated and determined to silence the author of these crude works, the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis, on the other hand, has been confined to an asylum already for a few years before N apolean discovered his ways of corruption. He has secretly distributed his work through the chambermaid, Madefine; played by WInslet, by hiding his documents with his pick up of his daily linens. Now, the Abbey Cloutier of the asylum, portrayed by Phoenix, has hospitably catered to the Marquis for the entirety of his stay. He has always been aware of the Marquis' past hobby of writing his filth, but he has been ignorant of the Marquis' latest covert productions of his pornography. When Napoleon sends the renowned Corrder, a supreme corrections officer, played by Caine, to intercept the coalillOn of the Marquis and Madeline, Cloutier is distraught over "!" friends' betrayal.

Rodriguez was hired as a visiting assistant professor and was offered a tenure-track position, which he declined. Rodriguez chose Princeton because, . "it was a great opporturuty to work with some of the leading academics in [his] field and teach in the broad area of southwestern United States history." In addition to teaching classes, he plans to do research in the area of social movements and civil rights in both the southwest and among Mexican Americans on the Midwestern frontier. Jerry Greenfield, chair of the History department, said "I was happy for him - Princeton is one of the finest universities in the nation, so it was a great opportunity for Professor Rodriguez." Parkside interviewed Rodriguez in September 2000, and he joined the University in January 2001. He was hired to focus on the United States civil rights history and on the Mexican American history component in particular. The history department is currently looking for a replacement to fill the position left vacant by Rodriguez. "We returned to the search after Professor Rodriguez let us know that he had the Princeton offer. The search committee already has had candidates [and] ... We hope to have a positive response within a few weeks"said Greenfield. Rodriguez is a Mexican American who was born in Wisconsin, and settled in southeastern Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in History. He received both his Master and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.

Well, not fat, not really. That is to say, I'm not obese. "You're not fat!" he asserts, with a tone warning that he does not want to hear me run down the usual list of fatty assets. His anger is the typical response to my whining; it is typical of all men who hear a woman make this famous assertion. The answer is formulaic and expected. So, why do women say it if we know they are going to answer with the prescribed reply? Iam not attempting to make myself the center of attention, and Iam definitely not fishing for compliments. I am well aware that anyone skilled in basic manners is not going to tell me I'm fat to my face, even if they think I really am. It is not to fulfill my ego. I do not want you to tell me that I am skinny, nor do.I want you to tell me that I am perfect, because I'm not. Ibelieve that many men think a compliment is the motive behind our claim, that our egos are so pitiful they need to be stroked at least once an hour. I can not defend all women, but I can assure you that my ego is not as needy and pathetic as to actually announce to any person that I am grossly fat, in hopes of a reflexive compliment in return. Perhaps, as you read this, you are rolling your eyes, wondering at the audacity of someone who would complain about something so seerrungly trivial in comparison to a larger social issue such as world hunger. Let me assure you that this is not trivial to me or to most other typical women. I am constantly submerged in thin ima~es, slogans are sublimated With attacks on my selfesteem, and the forced competition to look better than the next woman is fierce. A large part of my life has been consumed with this incessant worry; in fact, a large portion of my day is devoted to mentally berating myself for my numerous bodily flaws. The path to finding the truth about why Ibelieve Iam fat is a difficult and treacherous one. It is wrought by media representations, distorted by self-perception, and clouded with painful memories. It seems an insurmountable task to explicate the pain that is invisible to society, the double-standard that is acceptable in everyday media, and the shame that is a constant source of confusion to me. You may not understand the pressure that a woman feels continuously harassing her throughout a typical day. As a woman, I am taught to be uneasy about my appearance. On any given_ morning, I wake up to hear an announcer on the radio touting the newest product on the diet market a miracle weight· loss pill. He explains the logic for using the miracle diet (thinner thighs, a flat, firm, stomach, a shapelier butt) and finishes with an acute observation - "If your diet hasn't worked for you yet, what makes you think it ever will?" The television is on as my usual morning routine is rehearsed. Cover Girl reminds me, the target audience, to use their concealer if Iwant to be an "ea.sy,,, h,reezy, beautiful cover girl, L oreal encourages me to beautify "Because I'm worth .it," and Maybelline whispers if Iwasn't born with it, at least they can help . ("Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline"). My breakfast is a healthy and nutritional shake, courtesy of Slim-Fast. While I thumb through a woman's magazine, an article leaps out of the page encouraging me to accept my body the way it is. Opposite the article is an ad picturing an impossibly skinny woman and a gorgeous man staring lovingly down at her. All this is bother me. Why indeed? Inthe grand scheme of the universe, my body weight is not important. It will not land me a good job, provide me with lots of money, or secure my personal _happiness - or will it? In my experience, beauty and figure are many times the inducement for all these things. Are women valuable to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because they have a charming personality and a sharp sense of wit? Does the "fat girl" you personally know have dates every weekend and men who value her intellect over her appearance? How many times have you overheard a male telling his friends he would never go out with a certain girl because IIshe exceeds his maximum weight limit?"

Shopping in a department store is possibly the most grueling attack on my sense of well being. I am always ashamed to find that Iwear the largest size in the junior's department, and, that a size 13714 borders on being fullfigured. Calvin Klein does not make sizes beyond mine, a message that is not missed or misunderstood. Clearly, I am March 8, 2001 tasting morsel Ieat, and have adapted to fear the opinion of others. This is not a selfinduced fear. Ido not imagine these things; they are very real pervasive, and harmful. 1 feel as if Ihave no choice but to be obsessed with my body weight. If Iam not careful, all the terrible things that "fat girls" go through will Soon become my fate. I may seem vain in the sense that Iseem preoccupied with my physical appearance. Vanity, however, suggests a certain satisfaction with one's appearance, the belief that perfection has been achieved. r could not be any farther away from this in my mind. It is the rare occasion when Ihave looked in the mirror and have not had a ready insult na~ging at the edge of my conscience. If my claim is not for vanity, for a compliment, or for an expected answer, then it is for two entirely different purposes. On the most basic level, itis a weak plea for understanding, for empathy in its simplest form. Iwant someone to relate to my self-loathing, a person who knows what it is like to be unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. If you simply answer with "You're not fat," then Iknow you don't understand. Ask me to explain myself, let me sniffle on your shoulder as I explain my deficiencies, or tell me that you understand what it is like not to live up to a certain image. Explain to me that you know why I think I'm fat but that you don't agree. Secondly, I am pleading with you to stop buying into the mediated images of feminine perfection. I need you to realize that although the skinniest model may be attractive, so is the healthiest of "real" women. Allow yourself to appreciate the feminine body in it.s various forms, not just the Image that is repeated in every commercial, ad, and music video. Tell the woman in your life that you think she is beautiful to you, not because she has the thinnest, longest legs, not because her butt can fit in the palm of your hand, and not because her six-pack rivals that of your own. Tell her that she is perfect because she was made just they way you warited.

The second purpose was to give undergraduates students the opportunity to work on projects with the ITPC business partners. This lab was a joint project between the University and Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Wax and Harley Davidson. The idea originated from Cory Mason, an alumni of Parkside, who is director of Information Services at Harley Division. Dirk Baldwin, Associate Professor of Information Systems, says, "I think the ITPC Jab is an important symbol of a strong partnership between Harley Division, Johnson Wax, Snap-on, and UW-Parkside. The relationship allows students to work with professors and IS professionals to develop problem solving, leadership, teamwork and design skills." He also went on to say, "The relationship also allows the students to use some of the latest equipment used in industry. I think it is an exciting opportunity for UW-Parkside that distinguishes us from many other universities. " When asked about the success of the lab, Professor Baldwin said, "I think this lab is very successful, but we are just starting." He also indicated that the long-term overall success of the lab is based on short-term goals, such as each individual project and semester, and long-term goals. "However, we have project goals each year and sub-goals each semester. At least along some dimensions we canmeasure our success by comparing progress to our project goals. On a longer-term basis, we will measure success through our relationships with the partners, the number of MIS and computer science students using the lab, the number of new MIS and computer science students in the program, and the placement of March 8, 2001 our students in full time jobs." This lab is different from a standard lab due to the fact it is only used, for special projects and contains software that is not available in other labs, such as Visual Studio, Oracle and Business Objects. Secondly, it is set up in more of a conference format so that students can work on projects ill teams. The main emphasis is partnership. For example, students enrolled in the Database Management Systems class can use the lab for extra credit projects. . Currently, mostly MIS students use this lab and an occasional computer science student who is working on a project with Professor Baldwin. One of the plans to improve the lab includes more The Information Technology Practice Center, sponsored by Harley Davidson, Snap.()n com put e r s , Tools, and Johnson Professionals, gives MIS and IS students hands-on experience.

Larry Deutisch, who has much to say about the mission statement for UW-Parkside, has an answer to this question and many more. Thereis an overall mission for all of the schools in the UW-system, but each individual university has their own mission statement. The original mission statement of the University when it first opened its doors in 1968 endured 30 years before the Board of Regionsapproved the changes to the mission statement in 1998. The idea firstcame about in 1996, when it was suggested that the mission statement should be one that is less wordy and moreeasily understood by everyone. The original mission statement of the University was quite lengthy and difficult to comprehend. Between 1996 . and 1998 the changing of the mISSIon statement was a campus process that involved students, staff, and faculty adding their input about what the University stands for and what it should stand for in the future. What should the University provide for its current students and offer to potential students who may choose to attend UW-Parkside? Why is the mission statement important? The Board of Regions wants the University to live up to a certain standard. Il serves as a guide not only to those who work for the University, but to those attending the University as well. "The University of WisconsinParkside is committed to high quality educational pr0l>rams, creative and scholarly activities, and services responsive to its diverse student pop- 'SS'ON The UW-P mission statement poster, designed by Kelly Vida, is a recent addition to the halls and classrooms of the University. class was asked to come up with a design that would accompany the mission statement. Of the class of twenty-five, approximately six students designs were chosen as finalists, and of those six students, Kelly Vida's design was chosen. Once the posters were made, they were placed all over the university for everyone to see. "They wanted a design to catch your eye from a distance and hold your attention until you were right up to the poster, studying and reading it with great interest, and that is what Kelly Vida had accomplished with her winning design." They were placed next to every Xerox.machine, coffeepot, and classroom throughout the University. ulation, and its local, national, and global communities." The University won an award for its diverse student population and strives to achieve what they have stated in the mission statement. The Board of Regions is looking for input from students about their experiences at the University. Il is the individual student's responsibility to take advantage of what is being offered to them. If they feel for whatever reason the University has not fulfilled what they have promised, they can bring that to the attention of the Board of Regions. Kelly Vida was the graphic arts student whose design for the mission statement poster was chosen.

LU,BSU,SIA.Asian-A~erican,Earth ClubChristian Fellowship; are examples ~f the available organizations in the whole of Parkside that are now availableto use. An example of a new clubjust starting is SIA (Students in Action).Look for them and others on your bulletin boards for available timesand meetings. What difference do these have on ourlives and the community? (All the difference in the world it appears). The clubs facilitate and strengthen speaking out for your interests and theinterests of the choices available to thosewhose words are not heard. One person can start a movement in thought and amplify it by using an existing club or creating a group of same minded persons. Your interests and concerns are felt by others, put them together and create action from thepotential of the surn. Clubs are also a great influence in that their members' set standards they are examl?les for others to follow. Our campus, Its cleanliness and effectivenessineducating are a product of this. Hseems Parkside is our responsibility asit is responsible for our education. Quotes from people in ours: "Adela Lazano: I joined because I want a say in things ...!want to be able tovoice my concern.

We are listening. Thank you or your attention and time. Student and reader of The Ranger Sincerely, Pedro Rodarte Dear Editors, .A recent issue of The Ranger contamed what I believe to be an unfair review of th~ recently released movie Hanrubal. FITst, Jodie Foster's name was spelled incorrectly in the review. Second, not all sequels should be Judged agamst their predecessors. If one was to fairly judge Hannibal against the award-winning The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal would have had to contain the following: 1 ) Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling. Early news reports claimed that Foster turned down twenty million dollars to star because she didn't agree with the scripted ending or Harris' novel (which contained Starling partaking in Lecter's dinner after being drugged to the point of insanity) while Hannibal producer Dina De Laurentis now reports that Foster refused to do the film for anything less than a 20 million salary plus half the film's profits. (It has made more than three million dollars worldwide in three weeks.) 2) Jonathan Demme as the director. Every director has their own style, and obviously the style in TSOTL differs from what Ridley Scott did in Hannibal. 3) A screenplay by Ted Tally, rather than the WHAT'S ON YOUR RESUME? If you are an English major or aspiring journalist, and have not yet written for a newspaper, what are you waiting for? Add skills to your resume that employers are looking for - writing, interviewing, editing and so much more. The Ranger News is now hiring all positions for the Spring 2001 semester. Stop by the office, located across from the Career Center in lower Wyllie hall. Meetings are Mondays from noon to Ip.m. and are open to all interested person~. When you graduate, what will you have . to offer? Mamet-Zailian screenplay that was used. 4) A score by Howard Shore, rather than the score by Hans Zimmer. I personally believe the Zimmer score to be vastly superior to Shore's. Only if the entire cast and crew from TSOTL had been assembled to shoot Hannibal could the two movies be fairly compared. and Leeter free to roam are vastly different. A lot of what he does in his first scene with Starling in the asylum ("...all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars while all you could think about was getting out, getting anywhere, getting all the way to the FB-I.") is meant to scare her, to freak her out. People remember that scene, and don't remember as much the ending phone call, where he acts much more like he does in Hannibal. My advice: If you don't mind a little gore, see the movie, and keep in mind that a lot of it is more black comedy than it is psychological thriller. Sincerely, Molly Beecher For the most part, Hannibal follows Harris' novel directly (with the exception of the ending). A few charactersare missing, as well asp few trips down Dr. Lecter's memory lane, but these are details that make literature literature and not a movie script. It would do a viewer well to remember that TSOTL was about Clarice Starling -Hannibal is about Hannibal Lecter. The author of The Ranger's review also mentions that Julianne Moore doesn't capture the innocent and proud determination of Foster's portrayal - she's not supposed to. Starling in Hannibal is ten years older and ten years wiser. Her career with the Bureau hasn't been what we'd like to believe it would be after the events of TSOTL. We also must remember that we are seeing Lecter in a different light than TSOTL.

At first I was not really excited about seeing this film, even though everyone Ispoke with raved about it. As Ibegan watching the film I was totally mesmerized by it. It was absolutely fabulous! The movie has English subtitles, but as the story progresses Iforgot they were even there. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the story of two warriors (Yun-Fat Chow and Michelle Yeoh) whose quest is to recover a stolen special sword, the Green Destiny. The hunt' to recover the sword takes the viewer on a spellbinding journey on rooftops and though tree branches. Woo-ping Yuen, who also worked on The Matrix, choreographed the fantastic fight scenes. I highly recommend seeing this movie. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the perfect date movie. It has magnificent action for the men and breathtaking romance for the ladies. Ihore that this film takes home a lot 0 Academy Awards because it definitely deserves them. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has been nominated for ten academy awards including Best Picture. ' TrJllhis for fun By Sheree Homer Ranger Fest is to be held on April 21st, from 12-4 pm in the student union. It is a festival and open house designed to reach out to the community. School Spirit has been lower in the last couple of years according to Chancellor Keating. He thought a festival would be a great way for students, staff, and community to join together and have some fun. This is the first year that it has been ,called Ran(\er Fest. In April of 1998 UW-Parkslde held a sprmg Open House Festival. This is also the first time it has been funded. Ranger Fest hopes to have much success, so it can return every year. John Rae Stevenson and Nicole Sicuro ' are the chair people and have worked hard on getting everything ready. Student organizations and some of the majors have already decided to share in the fun by opening exhibits. Some of the exhibits include an inflatable sky dome similar to the planetarium, an ocean bubble where people can view the marine life of an ocean, a water quality test, so the community can test their water for lead and other harmful ingredients, free blood pressure screening, mocktail.

Through membership in United Council, UW-Parkside students are linked to other student leaders statewide, and receive information, guidance, research, and service on studentissues.All United Council policy is determinedby student delegates from member campuses who meet regularly totake positions on issues and clirect the work of the staff. UnitedCouncil is a national leader for its work on federal financial aid and vcter registration. Working with student government associations from across WISCOI1Sin and the nation, United Council used grassroots support from students. and parents-in addition to direct lobbymg-to help increase federal financial aid awards last year. And, because student participation in the electoral process is critical, United Council coordinated a successful statewide, non-partisan Students Vote 2000 campaign to mvolve students through registration education, and get-out-the-vote efforts. ' United Council regularly lobbies the state legislature, the Governor's office and the Board of Re~ents in a consistent effort to control tuition increases and increase financial aid programs. In the 1999-2001 Biennial Budget, United Council successfully won a tuition freeze for resident undergraduate students in the 2000-2001 academic year, with an additional $28 million in state support to offset the tuition freeze and ensure- the quality of a UW education. United Council also successfully fought for state funding for UW System's Plan 2008: Quality Through Diversity, academic and career advising, libraries, and increased state grant aid.

United Council has always stressed the importance of student voices in the shared governance process of the UW System. United Council has worked to maintain and strengthen student control of student fees, and has been a clearinghouse of information and research on student safety issues, including e-mail privacy and the use of social security numbers as student identification numbers. Credit transfers, a headache for many students in Wisconsin, have been made easier through United Council's work with UW System and the state Mgislature. United Council continually opposes legislation, which would discriminate against student renters. Additionally, United Council played an instrumental role in defeating the Extra Credit Tax, which would have increased tuition for many students at UW-Parkside and across the UW System. United Council has spent 40 years of its existence ensuring that students enjoy the maximum benefit from their educations.

The first date, before a movie, after the game, mother's birthday, just .a few of the occasions that cause us to decide on a restaurant. We think very carefully about the place, the time, what we are going to wear, but rarely do we think about the server who is bringing our drinks and our dinners. Let us take a few minutes to think about what a server's job is like. Then we may have more respect and more patience for the people who are at the heart of our meal, Then some of us might think that it is not such an easy job to have. While it can be said that the general public on the whole knows how to act in a restaurant, it can also be said that quite a few people leave their manners in the car. Scenario one: when a server approaches a table that has just sat down she is required to give them some basic information, such as her name, the soup of the day, and the special of the evening. While most people politely listen, there are others who are blurting out what they want to drink before the server gets half her name out. The guests have just set the tone for the next hour and a half. Beforethe customers have their drinks in front of them they are considered rude. Usually if someone is rude, he or she will not tip well. Servers live on tips and if they feel that the tip they are going to receive is most likely going to be inadequate they will give minimum service. So you're saying that everyone should get good service regardless, right? How would your job performance be if your boss came to you and said that he was going to take two dollars off your hourly pay? Would you do the best job you could do? This is exactly how a server feels when they receive less than the standard gratuity of fifteen percent. Sure the server will take your order and bring your food out to you, but remember that soda you were fO eager to get? You might want to ration it because chances of getting another. one are slim. Oh need ketchup? Didn't you hear about the shortage on that? People like to feel that they are the most important guests in the restaurant. Servers enjoy doing their best to make the guests feel this way. While most guests understand that they are not the server's only responsibility, there are the exceptions. Let us imagine a Friday night, all the tables are full and there is a two hour waiting list. A family of four has just been seated at a table in the back of the dining room. The waitress goes up to the table and gives them her spiel, Then she asks the question of the night: "Can I get you folks something to drink right away?" The parents answer no problem, then the mother asks the question that every server dreads hearing; "Sally,honey, tell the nice woman what you want to drink." Why does the server cringe you ask? Because she knows what is coming next. The child's eyes go down and the face becomes pressed against the mother's side. Of course Sally is shy. By this time the server is thinking of about ten things that she needs to get done. The man at table ten needs his check, table four is ready to order, tables six and eight are waiting on food that should be ready at any time, oh right, Sally still needs a soda, or was it milk? Her mother is still trying to get shy Sally to order. Now having a child order for themselves is fine, when the restaurant is slow. When the restaurant is full the parents should order. Would you want to be kept waiting for someone's child? Let me point out another situation that happens all the time. A large group of people, let us say fourteen, has enjoyed dinner, drinks, dessert, and coffee. When the check arrives the party realizes that they forgot to tell the man waiting on them that they needed separate checks, Okay, you are probably thinking no problem right? Think about it. The waiter has to go back and figure out what every single person at the table had. What man had how many drinks, what couple had the steaks, and whose wife had two desserts. Often the people that ate the dinner can't remember what they had to eat, but expect their server to know. Would you be able to remember? While the server may be able to EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH The Ranger News • Reporters • Sports Writers • Entertainment Editor • Columnists • Cartoonists For further information, contact Sarah or Brenda at 595 2287. Meetings are Mondays from Noon-l p.m. figure it out ins takin!,';away from the time he should be usmg to check on his other tables. If his other tables do not receive good service they will not tip well. To fix the mistake you made the server is losing money. So please remember to ask for separa te checks ahead of time. If you should forget realize that it was your mistake and have everyone throw in what they think they owe. Next time you will be sure to remember. Anyone who has ever worked in the food service industry will be the first to tell you that not every night runs smoothly. The kitchen falls behind, causing the food to take a long time getting to the table. Servers have bad days and may even drop things. Of course on days like this the customers will get angry. Most behave in a calm rational manner, but once again there is the extreme exception. We have all seen it, the angry man banging his fist on the table, yelling at the person attempting to wait on him, basically making a scene. When people act in this manner their complaints fall on deaf ears. Sure management will do what they can to calm this person down, but later in the evening the staff will have a good laugh 'at the offender's performance. Oh, and the people sitting around the gentleman trying to eat their dinners, they will feel bad for the waitress,and think of the man yelling as a foolwith a lack of control in handling his anger. The examples shown here arejusta few. While they may seem a bit extreme they happen at some level every day. We generally do not think of how we are coming across to the employees of the establishment, but we need to. The people who work in the food service industry have high paced, high stress jobs. We as consumers need to respect them and the service that they are providing. While not all servers are good at their jobs we need to remember that they are still people and people deserve respect and common courtesy. Still need ketchup? You might want to run to your car and make sure you didn't forget your manners. -¥- ~)~~ ,1t1r~5T Tracy Knofla of High Impact Training resenting... -:tsPiration & Humor Divide and conqu ~on~your Student Organlzatlonl Your Invited to atten .aJlcof;LttUtJoliowing leadership sessions: w·;F "t ,sui\din, er ..a" 47 ,> R1ll\g be"" _ 5~30p.lII. d\5C\l5S\I\g \ld~ s\on on tean\b\l seve 5es to cond\lct nstt'ated• and whY \\\ be del'l\O .,:;act\V\t\e§ w "~ ... - "';,~-.:::~:;:2::~~~:"fl~" "'anage__ ~ best lIIot. rn about dlffe - 9i30~~", I..'*-oo._~.---.&" Yate and rent lead'~-~ ~ I.outaae how to :'~;:-:'~icate W.thiW';::"''''''' yO(f.

By Tyrone A Payton The 5th Annual Summer China Tour has been set and planned for [une 25th to July 8th. As usual, Sociology Professor George Wang, a native of China, has promptly sponsored the tour. The trip includes stops to Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, with . plenty of accompanying English speaking guides for translation. Also, there can be arrangements set for those students who wish to visit Hong Kong. The trip is offered as a three-credit course for either international studies or sociology and anthropology. Plus, the trip is available to community members as a learning eXJ?erience. There are a series of orientation lectures that precede the tour, which will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on May 8 to the 24th. Professor Wang hopes that these lectures teach background information on Chinese politics, changing economy, the evolving education system, family institution and tradition, and population control. He also hopes to team students some basic Chinese for communication, traveling etiquette, and a simple knowledge of Chinese customs. From the six stops, Professor Wang's children at the Women and Children's Shelter. We are also asking for volunteers to do some babysitting. In major Universities award ceremonies are held to recognize academic work on campus. Since U.W.t'arkside is so small we feel we can reach this goal through the production of a journal. Our first journal is going to be copied and should be available for a low price some time after Spring Break. It is our first attempt at taking the best of student's academic work in the classroom and getting them recognized for their work. Our first journal is entitled "Through Others Eyes." However we are going to change the name. We will also ask the professor to provide a summary about the subject matter and his/her intentions on the assignment. We will give full credit to each writer who chooses to be recognized. Not every class, or every student will get an opportunity to be published, but it may be likely that you will. If you are interested in participating or want to learn more about S.r.A. you can contact me at: ishihara@yahoo.com. Have you heard about the new dub on campus? Our main goal since we began this spring is to get some recognition for our journal and to recruit members. The Ideas and motivations for putting together s.LA. came from . a modest Eng1ish professor on campus. Last semester she had students participate in community service work, but we were having problems advertising since we had no sponsor. I didn't know what I was getting into at first, but since I had an interest in the importance of community, and a desire to be a leader on campus I was happy to get the club going. We differ from the Outreach club because of our intentions of putting together a journal to recognize student's academic achievement. However, we would like to work with them in the future. Throughout the semester we will be collecting children's books for the Community Action Agency and The Cops and Kids Reading Program. We are also collecting blankets for newborn babies at Kenosha Hospital. This one you may be familiar with from last semesfer. We also need volunteers to work as tutors for yOilllg tour will start off in Beijing, the capital of China, so students can leam first hand about the process of Chinese politics. From there, the city of Xian, an ancient caJ?ital of China, will emphasize Chinese history and integrated culture and religion. The next stop is the scenic Guilin, which is a center of tourism in China, and then on to the most modem city of China, Shanghai, where students will learn about economic development. At the last two stops will be Suzhou and Hangzhou, relatively small in China but DOth are considered heavily popu: lated by global standards. These two cities will emphasize the importance of Chinese tradition and family institution. These six tour stops offer a wide variety of Chinese development, which is the main focus of Professor Wang's trip, and it is what he hopes students will take back home with them. To all students who seem interested in an excursion to China, either attend the orientation series or call Professor Wang for more information. His office number is (262) 595-2520. Also, Laurie Odegaard in the UW-Parkside Center for International Studies can provide information at (262) 595-2701.

It's been almost five years since he began at Parkside, and now, with his new position, he hopes to make the school grow stronger. One of his first endeavors was to establish a new academic program in athletics with the addition of a Sports Management Certificate and a Wellness Certificate. Also, this past fall, they started the Sports Management major.Another focus of Dr. Klaver's is his involvement in the Great Lakes ValleyConference, which he has supported in financing from his first days here. His personal inclusion in the fundraising of the GLVC has helped keep it here at Parkside, which has in tum, given our athletic department a boost in competition, as the GLVC is division II of the NCAA. Although he admits the program still needs progress, Dr. Klaver is pleased with its effortand future direction for the University. Other pursuits of Dr. Klaver are the fact that with his new position, he is now the acting liaison between University Relations and government officials. At this command, he hopes that he'll be able to bring funding to the University in its endeavor to sponsor the b<;nefits of higher education. This position also entails that he must manage and maintain Parkside's home page. The most important emphasis that Dr. Klaver wants to focus on is the ability for students to navigate on the home page. He also plans on manufacturing a new design and belter procedures and programs so the home page can operate more cleanly. One interesting planned addition is the addendum of portals for the Parkside registered student. These portals will act as the students' personal page reference for all of their school activities and business at Parkside. Hopefully, all of these changes will be operational by fall, for it is significant to the school that the integrated marketmg of the school's communication is as efficient as it can be for the beginning of each semester. To quote Dr. Klaver, "Our main poal is to recruit and retain students.' With these future plans, Dr. Klaver hopes that the school will be able to expand in its academic and athletic departments. With this new position as Assistant Vice Chancellor of University Relations, Dr. Klaver expects that students on campus should anticipate an easier way to communicate and integrate with all operations here at Parkside.

Page 10 March 1, 2001 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside - Parkside students travel to Costa Rica By Ruyayeem Rashid Normally the academic calendar follows the in the sequence of fall, sprin(\, and summer. But this year Parkside has offered Winterim classes for the 2000-2001school year. Winterim Classes ranged from various disciplines like biology, chemistry, geology and english. Most of these classes are from one to two credits only. One particular class took a field trip to Costa Rica. One student, Tom Overacker, registered for the class and summarized the whole experience as wonderful. So wonderful that he said, "1 will at some time definitely travel back to Costa Rica again!" When asked why he signed up for the class, he said, "1 've always enjoyed traveling and have never had the opportunity to do international traveling. What better time to go some place warm than right in the middle of winter. I've never really seen volcanoes or the rain forest, plus 1 wanted to start t gaining a wider view of different cultures. All that is ip addition to wanting to study first hand the geology and natural history of the region." There was a structured outline that Overacker and the rest of the class had to follow. The purpose was to cover a large portion of the country in a relatively short period of 13 days. Before going to Costa Rica, Overacker spent 16 hours of classroom preparation learning a general overview of the geology and biology of the region. In addition to the 16 hours of classroom preparation, he had to select a topic and do independent research. He choose to study the volcano "Rincon de la Vieja". Other preparations for the trip included a visit to the International Clinic to obtain vaccinations for Hepitus A, Typhoid Fever and Milaria. He also had to obtain a US passport. A typical day in Costa Rica included the students waking up early in the morning to a warm day and a breakfast of rice and beans. After breakfast, the class would travel to a new and ·exciting place, have lunch, explore another part of the region and return to dinner. In addition to traveling various parts . of Costa Rica, Overacker spent two weeks seeing and taking pictures of things you would normally see in an explorer's magazine like Natural Geographic. . Some of the most memorable parts of the trip for Overacker included a day at the beach, the trip to Monta Verde, sunset horseback riding, and several walks thraugh the topical rain forest.
