US Computer Team Earns Medals at European Competition A team of U.S. students, under the leadership of University of Wisconsin-Parkside Mathematics Professor Don Piele, earned three medals at a recent computer competition in the Czech Republic. The contest was a warm up for the International Olympiad in Informatics being held at Antalya, Turkey, next month.. . . During the eight-day competition in Brno, Czech Republic, Daniel Wnght, a high school senior from Lafayette, Colo., earned a gold medal; Benjamin Mathews, a high school senior from Dallas, Texas, won a silver medal; and Percy. Liang, a high school junior from Phoenix, Ariz., received a bronze medal. The contest was held Sept. 2 through 9 in the Czech Republic's second largest city. Piele called the Brno games a good tune up for the global matches. "This was actually harder competition than they'll face in Turkey," Piele said. "There were 12 very talented teams at Brno, and fewer medals were available than there will be at the International Olympiad. So then winning three medals was quite an accomplishment." Piele expects teams from 65 to 70 countries at International Olympiad in Informatics, The global competition takes place October 9 to 16.

"Our fall 1999 application numbers are close to being final and it certain1y appears we again did very well in attracting students to campus." Those applications, according to Murphy, translated into record gains in new students. "This is the largest freshmen class in at least 12 years," Murphy said of the fall 1999 figures. "And if you combine freshmen and transfer students, this is the largest number of new students we've ever had." There are a record number of transfer students on campus. A total of 448 students switched from other schools to UW-Parkside for fall 1999.That's 64 more than last year and well above the University's target of 400. The diversity of the campus also improved, The number of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American students all increased. That raises the percentage of minority students to 16 percent from 15 percent a year ago. In addition, there are 33 students from foreign countries on campus. More than 2,800 students are in the "traditional" age group of 18 to 22. We have 1,638students who are 23 years of age or older with 12who are 62 or better.

Access to a quality, affordabJe higher education in Wisconsin is in grave danger. Inthe past, Wisconsin has been able to avoid the economic recessions and downturns which have plagued nearby states because of our traditional support for higher education. By ensuring that Wisconsin's citizens have access to the university system, we have established an educated workforce who positively contribute to the economy of this great state. That tradition of excellence in education has been compromised in recent years. Years of underfunding the University of Wisconsin System are beginning to show. As a result, tuition has increased at 4-5 times the rate of inflation, while financial aid has failed to keep pace. Additionally, compensation for faculty and staff has fallen below national averages. Today, Wisconsin has an opportunity to invest in the future. By fully funding the UW System, we can ensure that Wisconsin's working and middJe class families can afford to access higher education. United Council of UW Students and United Faculty and Academic Staff have called for statewide action on the biennial budget. Can or write your state legislators and urge them to use a portion of the surplus to fully fund the UW System. We must work together to ensure that all Wisconsin families have equal access to the UW System. Michelle Diggles, United COllncil ofllW Students Frank Emspak, United Fawlty and Academic Staff o '"EUl" Becky Duba This past July, Wisconsin's biennial budget was due, but as of today it is still being debated. The budget encompasses many factors ranging from lowering the elementary class size to refining the recycling program, but the main debate is over the UW System's tuition freeze. Before July, legislators realized that there was a projected surpJus of funds of $568.1 million, so Democrats proposed a tuition freeze for the state universities and a cut in tuition for all technical colleges. This would mean that students in the technical college system couJd save about $500 per semester and universities tuition would not rise. This would make a large impact on students. Senate majority Jeader Chuck Chvala said, "Average tuition for the UW-System grew by 6.9% this year, including an outrageous 9.6% at UW-Madison." Chris Micklos, another Democrat, stated, "For every $100 tuition rises, there is a 2.2% drop in enrollment." The Student Aid Alliance is urging Congress to increase the amounts of financial aid availabJe because of the rise in tuition. Among other areas of aid available, the Pell Grant is one of the most important, which enabJes some of the neediest students to attend college. They wish to see this increased by $4()() to a new total of $3525. The budget has still not been ratified. Debates over what to do with the surpJus money are still continuing with little hope of coming to an agreement soon. Because the fall semester has already begun, there is nothing that can be done about prices now, but we can hope to see a freeze take effect for the spring and coming semesters of next year.

UWParkside Chancellor Ja~k Keating signed the agreement along withGretchen Naff, president of CLC, which is a two-year institutionlocatedin Grayslake, Ill., Under the agreement, students who meet admission requirements for UW-Parkside, and who formally request dual admissions will simultaneously be admitted to both schools. UWParksidewill work with CLC counselors and students to initiate theapplication process, facilitate a link between students and the UW-Parksidedepartment in which the student intends to major, andhelp with the transition between CLC and UW-Parkside. The University also will provide financial planning information, includingscholarship data specifically for transfer students, while theyare enrolled at CLC. "We are delighted to have the opportunity to help students fromthe College of take County continue their education at UWParkside,"said University of Wisconsin-Parkside Chancellor Jack Keating."This is a win-win-win situation-a win for UW-Parkside, awin for CLC, and a win for students."

The Engaged University Council was established_-I- ...,.- -j---' lastyear,and the Plan 2008 diversity ten-year program was merited as thebestof the University of Wisconsin plans. So what strategies are under way for the future here at Parkside? Keating'svisions for the coming year revolve around the Three C's: caring,community involvement, and communication. Keatingbelieves caring for our student's means providing an environmentthat helps students to reach their full potential. "We must challengeour students and provide them with opportunities that will helpthem succeed," he said. Keating also emphasized the importance ofmaking the students feel welcome, and supplymg them With a diverseenvironment. During the fall convocation he noted that, "We mustbe the welcoming diverse community of scholars that we say we wantto be. We must continue to foster diversity to make sure all people,regardlessof lifestyle, race, background, and abilities, are a recognizableaspect of our campus because we care for all." Safety is also a major factor concerned in the care of students. Keatingworries about the safety of himself all the way down to the verylast freshman. When asked about the gun controversy on campus heheld that he was not taking the matter frivolously. Although the finaldecisionrests in his hands he wants the issue reviewed by a broad committeerepeatec1lyuntil the matter is exhausted. After considering bothsides of the issue he will deliver a decision at the end of the semester. Thesecond C is the community. Keating emphasized how importantit is for the campus to become a part of the community and engage in collaborativepartnerships. These partnerships provide connectio.ns andintemships for students to gain experience beyond the university teachings.It also allows us to bring speakers in to help teach the studentsabout real world experience. Itis also key to draw the commuruty tothe campus. Keating says, "We must become a center for cultural andintellectualactivities in this area. Whatever it is that contributes to thelifeof this community ina cultural and intellectualway, we encourageand we try to foster and make sure its knownso that we really are thought of as the centerof activity in this area."By letting people appreciate the beau ty and capabilities of the school they are more likelytosupport it. The third C is communication,which is the drivingforce behind the l~ttertwo. "It is imperative that we communicatewith one another, andtobe as open as possible so parents, students, and staff membersknow what's going On.We must offer constructive criticism and prOvidesolutions for the problems we face. It's communication that makescommunity anl':;~:: thefirstcommunin: tha Plan 2008-Parkside embraces diversitv Becky Duba The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is making a planned attempt to increase its students and staff to incorporate those of a more diverse background. This attempt, labeled Plan 2008, will increase not only students but also staff who are African, Asian, Native, and Hispanic American. . The plan is made up of seven goals. These goals include increasing the amount of financial aid available to needy students, increasing the number of faculty, .academic staff, classified staff, and administrators of color, developing courses that will enhance learning and a respect for racial and ethnic diversity, recruiting more students of color from local high schools and two-year junior colleges, and increasing the amount of cultural events and fine arts programs that feature distinguished artists and scholars of color. Parkside is definitely stepping in the right direction with this program. As of 1995,73 perHerb Pitts cent of the U'S. population was white. The projection for 2050 holds that 52 percent of the populace will be. white, while Hispanics will hold 21 percent, African Americans 15.7%, and ASian Americans 10.2percent. A diverse nation expects a diverse education. Heading up this plan is the newly appointed Assistant to the Chancellor for Equity and Diversity, Herbert L. Pitts. Pitts stated that right now he is working on appointing a Diversity Committee to assess the progress made with the plan. "The committee," he explained, "will have 17 people on it. Two will be residents of Kenosha and Racine, five will be faculty with only one being nontenured, two will be students, four will be managers or directors, two will be of academic class, and two will be of classified staff. This committee will also be trained in terms of diversity so that we're all on the same page. The committee will meet every month to assess progress. A number of subcommittees will also be appointed that will meet twice a month and report back to the head committee. All of these will be tracking progress made." Pitts also explained that enrollment of students of color has increased and of the nineteen new faculty members hired this year, nine are ethnic females. "Things are going very .well," he stated, "And the implementation . and success of this plan can all be credited to the Chancellor and the cabinet." Mr. Pitts has a considerable amount of experience concerning equity and diversity. He holds ten years of Affirmative Action and Equal Employment Opportunity experience in higher education.

Don AI thinks that unscrupulous Hollywood producerslike Billy Crystal are making billions of dollars by distorting facts about the Sicilian thing, the Cosa Nostra, so he wants me to set things straight. I've done some research and I've discovered that, in their attempt to make more realistic Mafia movies, Hollywoodproducers pay big bucks to questionable Mafia movie consultantswithout ever realizing that these schmucks can't even pronounce such simpleItalian words as fuggerabouteet andgearareheere. "They claim to be members of the CosaNostra," says my Godfather, "but Iknowbetter." He blames Billy Crystal for hiring fishy Mafia consultants, bloodsuckers such as Sunny (the LampreyEel)Manzini, Tony (the Zebra Mussel)Pancetla and, the least scrupulousof them all, Willy (the Goby Fish) ClintonJeone;but AI should be blaming theRussianMafia, the Cossack Noslra. The Russian Mafia is involved, you know, and I've got the proof RIGHT HERE! It happens that Boris Yeltsin has a friend who has a friend who is a friend of mine, and he told a friend, and he told a friend, and so on and so on. So, what can be said about Hollywood producers? Well, for one thing, their movies aren't really about the Sicillan thing, but rather, they are about the American thing: MONEY. H such movies were about the Sicilian thing, then they would be about honor, loyalty, and the pursuit of Jimmy Hoffa. The second thing that can be said about Hollywood producers is that they're unable to discern real Italians from Italian wannabes. This has been going on for years. It all started long ago, when there were many unemployed Italian actors and movie studios were run by movie moguls such as Geo Metro, Sam Goldweiner, and Oscar Mayer. These shrewd businessmen started MGM, a movie studio that discriminated against every ethnic group in America, especially against Sicilian-looking but smallnosed Italians. Movie roles for smallnosed Italian actors were limited in those days, and it wasn't until movie directors began to film with the handThe Roles Thai Gal Awav Chris Summy Couldyou imagine Will Smith in 'The Matrix"? Or how aboutBurt Reynolds in "Terms of Endearment"? Or Jeffrey Hunteras Captain Kirk? Shirley Temple as Dorothy? Well thesethings almost happened. Sometimes actors make great cboicesin picking roles that (A.) are successful at the box officeor in the ratings (B.) earn critical acclaim, or (e.) both. Butthen there are times in which a choice role is in their handsand they let it slip away from them. Let's look at some examples. The Matrix- Many leading actors were offered the role of Neo,the hero in "The Matrix", but turned it down because of itsuncertainprospects at the box office. Will Smith wanted to UlJeclhis trademark humor into the role and was told no, so he passedand did "Wild Wild West." He now looks at it as the "one that got away." So does Leonardo DiCap~o, who refusedit because he wanted to take a break from his mOVIe career.Instead it fell into Keanu Reeves' able hands. StarTrek- Jeffrey Hunter, "The Searchers," had the role of CaptainKirk all wrapped up and even starred in the first epISOdeof "Star Trek." But when his wife demanded a major increasein salary, he was dropped from the series. H~s replacement,William Shatner, became a show-biz icon. Terms of Endearrnent- Burt Reynolds was offered the role ofthe horny astronaut in "Terms of Endearment" but he refusedto take the part when he learned he. needed to gain weIght.Instead, he fuHilled a promise to a friend and starred Ulthedismal flop Stroker Ace. Jack Nicholson carne aboard wuh a career-resuscitating performance that won him an One of his bosses paid for a hooker that stole his credit card, charging huge bills to the company. As a result, some unlucky people are going to lose their jobs. ranger Ileatures 13 c5 '"a(]) (JJ held 35 M&M chocolate-covered camera that Italians finally got to play themselves. When held at a certain angle, the new camera made small noses appear larger on screen. Prior to that, smallnosed and curve-nosed Italians were cast as marauding Indians in westerns because, given the size of their noses, Native Americans didn't look Indian enough compared to them. Romannosed Jewish actors, on the other hand, got all the choice parts and got to play Italian gangsters in movies about the Sicilian thing. And is Billy Crystal Italian? Oy vey! This I cannot say for certain. AlII know is that he's from New York, and everybody in New York, including Spike Lee, is either Italian or Jewish. "What is most irritating is that movie producers treat the Sicilian thing as if it were an infamous, illegal organization," said my Godfather. And so he asked: "When are people going to real- . ize that the Sicilian thing is just another business? It's more or less like the FBI/Waco thing, like the China/New Mexico thing, like the Clinton/Whitewater thing, like the Senate/House thing!" "You're right," I said, "but, ahem, innocent people rarely get killed in those sort of things." "Granted!" said AI. "But what about the thing about us being portrayed like a bunch of uneducated, moronic things whose concerns involve mainly killing and sexual things? Are we not human things? Isn't our overly exuberant sexual thing like the Pamela Anderson/Tommy Lee thing? Isn't it like the Pee-Wee Herman/George Michael thing?" "I don't even want to go there," I said. "Don't want to go where?" said AI. "Fuggeraboureet." Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Reynolds's career went south. j American Gigolo, An /' Officer and a Gentleman, . Splash- These movies are' ': linked because of one actor's ) mistakes. Turning down these \ three movies made John" Travolta's career take a nosedive until Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. Richard Gere and Tom Hanks are etema11ygrateful. The Wizard of Oz- Originally Shirley Temple was supposed to play Dorothy, Ray Bolger the Tin Man, Buddy Ebsen (that's right,. Jed Clampett from The Beverly Hillbillies) the! Scarecrow, and W.e. Fields as the Wizard. But Fields demanded too much money and was replaced by Frank Morgan. Shirley Temple wasn't available so the filmmakers chose the :' older Judy Garland (Her breasts were taped to make her more childlike. After all, in real life she was 16.).

Put in simpler but more pungent words, most reporters lack the guts to say what needs to be said in a serious news report, and so they avoid touching on issues that would offend readers. Good examples of cowardly fluffiness are the latest reports I've read concerning the goby fish invasion. The articles are fluffy because most reporters covering the goby fish invasion have merely rewritten old articles they wrote about the zebra mussel, the lamprey eel, the Asian longhorned beetle, the African killer bee, and so on. Some have focused primarily on the detrimental effect the proliferation of exotic organisms may have on native species and on what scientists are doing to stop it from happening, but no one has had the courage to expound on what truly needs to be done about exotic species. Serious reporters have also used exaggerated terminology to describe such invasions, calling them "biological pollution," when they should've explained that the US is also exporting biological goods to other countries, that this type of exchange has been going on for years, and that the ancestors of some of our "native species" were brought here, inadvertently or purposefully, by ships sailing the ocean blue, and perhaps even before 1492. It is a beneficial business, the import/export business, and the exchange of exotic species is just one of the many benefits we derived from an Old World exchange system, an ancient practice we now call "global marketing." Most Americans, however, don't see anything beneficial in the whole affair. I, for one, hate foreign species; I turn my nose at them, and if the truth must be told, I'm more than willing to donate research money to prevent them from taking over our ecosystems. Some things, however, are not preventable. That is, we tried to prevent the zebra mussel from polluting our waters, but all we managed to do was pour more unwanted chemicals in the already polluted environment. I'd like to think that scientists will eventually develop something that will get rid of exotic species, since developing heavy-duty, pest-eradicating chemi14 ranger I enlenainDlenl e-, co gj m C\i d~ §l ci M 1i (I) (f) What must be done about the gobV fish Good Weekly Income Processing mail for national company!

The pedal tonight is Pesce Rusky a la Buongusto at the Goby Fish Lover's Restaurant cals is their forte, bu t this isn't likely to happen for some time because most scientists are busy monitoring the effects DDT has had on the environment. What must be done about exotic species is what other cultures have traditionally done whenever their countries happen to be populated with too many of one species and not enough of the other. As people of a young nation, we Americans have a great opportunity to learn by observation. I observed, for example, that a native people of the Amazon rain forest, the Yamomamo people, eat certain insects. This practice keeps the rain forest green, since they are eating insects that would otherwise destroy foliage. In the same fashion, our own Lake Michigan was kept clean by Native Americans who collected, dried, stored, and consumed fish that is presently left to rut on these once pristine shores. And, a people of the Ituri forest of Africa, the Mbuti Bandara, have a way to deal with killer bees: they eat beehives, honey, wax, caca, unborn bees, and all. Now, I've made perfectly clear the fact that I hate exotic species. This is because, like most Americans, I know what's edible or not, and I prefer to only stuff my belly with edible creatures. That doesn't mean, however, that I would absolutely refuse to eat a nicely prepared dish of goby if eating it meant satisfying my hunger and saving the natural environment. I'm sure it would taste terrible at first; but, eventually, I would get used to its exotic taste, as the Australian Aborigines eventually got used to the taste of sheep, rabbit, and other European-imported species. I might even open a goby fish lover's restaurant and invent a fancy name for the cooked fish, say, Pesce Rusky a la Buongusto. After all, American squid lovers avoided eating the creature until it became "calamari." ranger I enlenalnRlenl 15 g ci. rn" •music'art· theater' movies' music' art· theater' movies'music' art· theater' movies'music' American Beautv: Suburbia Hell Chris Summy We are a society that thrives on success.

Her job is so competitive that in order to sell houses, she hits herself, At real estate conventions, she drags Lester with her in order to maintain the image of a perfect family, even though their marriage is zombie-like. She is the one who pushes for the furniture and insists on playing that god-awful music because she makes dinner. Finally, there's Jane, The only thing she has in common with her dad is that she can't stand her mother's music. Otherwise, she seems to find new ways to have contempt for her folks. When they show interest in her cheerleader routines, she complains that it's a hollow attempt to show enthusiasm because they are too selfabsorbed to really care. She is also intimidated by her friend Angela (Mena Suvan) who wants to be a model and has been pictured in "Seventeen" magazine. Her life takes a turn when she funs into new neighbor Rickey Fitts (Wes Bentley), Rickey's life isn't what it seems either. His Marine colonel father (Chris Cooper) is a brute who expects discipline from his son and reacts with his fists when it doesn't happen, And this happens a lot because Rickey sells pot in order to make money, which he spends on video equipment in order to film life that is all around him, including Jane, Eventually she begins to understand that her neighbor appreciates the beauty of life and is flattered to be the center of his attention, Rickey helps awaken Lester from his wallcing sleep. While Mr. Burnham is bored at the convention, Rickey takes him outside, They begin/to bond while they smoke pot. Lester confesses that his life sucks, remembering what his life was like when he was a teenager. He worked in fast-food in order to buy an eight-track radio, It seems pathetic to Rickey but not to Lester. It was bliss because he loved his job and got laid a lot. They become friends, to the awareness of the Colonel, who begins to think his son is gay, The other things that excites Lester is the sight of Angela, the American Beauty, He gets obsessed, seeing visions of her in a bathtub full of flowers. He overhears her talking about how he would look if he worked out more, then begins to exercise. Jane is aware of this attraction and is repelled at the thought. Angela, on the other hand, is flattered by the attention of a 42-year-old, She is used to being the center of attention by guys and tells Jane more than she wants to know about her sexual episodes, It's a matter of time before a tragedy results. Oddly enough, the only normal people in the neighborhood are a male gay couple; not your typical portrayal of suburbia, Just what is the "perfect" family? Is it one made up of love? Or is it important to look the part?

The "Notables' Sperm Bank" was opened by a state family-planning agency, the A.P. said, quoting a report from the government run Xinhua News Agency. The bank is receiving many calls from professors seeking to make donations, Xinhua reported. But the news agency did not indicate whether women seeking the sperm had to meet any academic requirements. Some professors have questioned the premise behind the new venture.

The UW-Parkside Foreign Film Series is loaded with great movies that your friends probably have never seen. Think how impressed they'll be when they're discussing fluff like "The Blair Witch Project" and you start talking about that great Brazilian film "Central Station." They'll think, "I didn't even know you spoke Brazilian!" Actually, it's in Portuguese with English subtitles. Or while their still talking about R2D2 and Anakin Skywalker, you'll be conversant in Irish films like "Waking Ned Devine" and "The General."

Season tickets for the series are now on sale and UW-Parkside students can get them for just $23. This year's program includes double Academy Award-winner "Life Is Beautiful," the epic Serbian film "Underground." Academy Award Best Foreign Film nominees "Central Station," "Children of Heaven," and Russia's "The Thief and nine more. These are the best films the world has to offer and series director Norm Cloutier says it's a "great entertainment value. The $23 student season ticket comes out to less than $1.75 per movie.

Although there are few documented cases of violence regarding Universities, the shootings in Colorado have served as a gruesome wake-up call as to what may loom ahead, and has caused col­leges to reevaluate the safety measures surrounding schools. Timothy Quinnan assistant dean for student services at Raymond Walters College has shed light on the questions concerning safety at the University level. "In the wake of the killings in Colorado, everyone seems to have a theory about why adolescents act out their impulses in such a violent manner. Some people blame dark dimensions of popular culture, such as violent video games, movies, music, or web sites and chat rooms. If our culture's endorsements of violence are a contributing factor to young people's aggression, college students are probably no better equipped to resist it that high-school students are," said Quinnan. Students disagree. Two students interviewed, John Lorge and Rehana Mohammed, College students are sometimes forced to juggle a full load of credits, a full-time job, as well as family and social life. "Free time" can become a foreign word from some other country. If this sounds familiar then you are probably suffering from stress. Being stressed-out is not unique. Everyone has experienced stress. Today, however, stress is more constant with the fast paced lifestyles we live. So what is stress exactly? Stress is your physical, emotional, and mental response to change. Stress can come from pressure at home, at work, in the environment, or from personal matters. It is very important to your health to be aware of stress in your life. Your stress level affects your immune and nervous systems, heart function, metab­olism, and hormone levels. Stress can effect your recovery from as well as your susceptibility to illness. Some symptoms of stress include: • Problems eating or sleeping • Increased use of alcohol or drugs • Increased procrastination • Frequent headaches, backaches, or muscle aches • Frequent colds or infections • Inability to concentrate • Nightmares There are things you can do to deal with stress. Here are ten easy ways to help you prevent stress: 1. Define your limits - know how many things you can take on at once and stand by your decisions. 2. Set goals - Short-term attainable goals will provide a sense of accomplishment. 3. Don't procrastinate - Doing it now will allow free time later. 4. Take breaks - taking a short break can give you a fresh perspective, make yourself your priority. 5. Make lists - Lists serve not only as good reminders but will also help you visualize your schedule 6. Eat balanced meals - good nutrition gives the body the fuel it needs to endure stress. 7. Exercise - physical activity will help to work away your tension. 8. Ask for help - your friends are probably stressed too, help each other! 9. Sleep - Lack of sleep will leave you moody, angry and vulnerable to ill­ness. 10. Laugh - Laughter lowers the blood pressure and increases blood flow to the brain. It also provides the easiest way of dealing with stress. If you feel you have a serious stress-related problem and need help the Student Health and Counseling Center on campus provides free professional counseling for a variety of issues, including: general anxiety, academic prob­lems, relationships, depression, and parenting. "It's common now for U.S. high schools to have security guards, surveillance systems, or metal detectors. How do universities compare?" - Timothy Quinnan felt safe because college had a more relaxed atmosphere. Lorge said, "I do think campus security is good. I see them around enough that their presence is felt, but not too much. Quinnan cited some other major sources for concern in the University system. "Most troubling is how unprepared universities are to deal with outbreaks of violence. It's common now for U.S. high schools to have security guards, surveillance systems, or metal detectors. How do universities compare? We seldom use security devices, instead we settle for parking-lot patrols, or escorts for stu­dents going to their cars after night classes." Colleges seem unequipped to deal with on-campus violence. But, UW-Parkside is taking positive steps to prepare for violence on campus. For starters back at the end of August a joint exercise between Parkside's police department and the county's Special Weapons and Tactical team was organized to carry out a mock hostage taking. The SWAT team consisted of specially trained and equipped personnel from the Kenosha County Sheriff's Department, Kenosha Police Department and Pleasant Prairie Police Department. The object of the team is to respond to situations that require expertise, and attempt to resolve the situation without resorting to violence. The team included a logistics unit, negotiators and a patrol unit. Some 35 personnel from those departments participated in the simulated hostage taking staged in the Parkside administrative building hous­ing the chancellor's office. The pre-planned exercise began when Parkside called for outside help, which uncovered communication glitches in trying to synchro­nize the actions of the combined agencies. The team successfully secured the lower floors of the building, as they made their way to the upper floor, site of the chancellor's office. The team then effec­tively negotiated the trade of one of the volunteer hostages for a can of soda. "Some wrinkles have to be worked out, but it went fairly smooth," said Parkside Police Chief Robert Deane. The exercise proved to be beneficial practice for the departments to pull their forces together. In addition to the Police officers on duty who make periodic rounds throughout the campus, this simulated hostage take-over is an important step for the campus police in preparing for real-life situations. What about safety matters concerning on campus housing and the students who reside there? Parents sending their children off to school, hope that the university will provide a safe and secure living environment. DeAnn Stone, Director of Residence Life, provided some answers as to how they are insuring safe dwellings. Residence Life has several Resident Advisors on duty each night during the semester. In addition, a professional staff member lives in each building. As far as prevention is concerned, the RA staff is trained in mediation and discipline skills. Also, the RA's meet with each room or apartment to discuss a room/apartment agreement, in order to avoid conflict. It is also the RA's job to get involved in mediating potential disagreements between students. These are just some of the ways in which UW-Parkside is attempting make a secure environment. What can students do to make this a safer place? Discuss the issues of school violence, although we may not want to think about the issues at hand, they affect all of us. Take every threat seriously. Students and faculty need to tell college officials when a threat occurs. Administrators have an obligation to follow up on such reports. Given the past inci­dents concerning school violence students cannot take these matters lightly.

Ms. Green goes to Washington For aspiring attorneys, there is no city in the world like Washington, D.C. During Spring semester, a familiar UWParkside face was in the halls of the nation's capitol, conducting research in the city's ·1aw libraries, and sharing power breakfasts with legislators. Senior political science major Yolanda Green is in D.C. on a Criminal Justice and Law Enforcement internship. With help from Sociology Professor Anne Statham, Financial Aid Director Carl Buck, Assistant Vice Chancellor for Student Services Steve McLaughlin, and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Donald Cress, Yolanda had the opportunity to work with The Washington Center for Internships and Academic Seminars. As a result, she is getting a first-hand look at D.C.'s busy criminal justice system. "My internship is with the Corporation Counsel. It handles all the legal work besides the criminal prosecution that the US attorney's office does not prosecute," Yolanda said. 'Tm working in the juvenile division. I'm assigned to a prosecutor who is handling juvenile crime cases, so I'm doing a lot of research, a lot of foot work." Yolanda admits to some uneasiness about being on the prosecution side of the legal aisle. She said her "passion" has always been criminal defense, and she isn't sure how she'll be affected by working for the prosecution, especially against people below the age of majority. Yolanda expects the experience to help her determine her early career choices. "I want to go into law. And this gives me the chance to actually see how the process works so I'll have a better understanding before I enter the field," Yolanda stated. "This will let me see if I really want to be in criminal law or if I want to be in corporate law." Whatever her future career decisions are, Yolanda doesn't have much time to dwell on them in the present. She'll be too busy for that. In addition to interning four and a half days each week, she also is attending breakfast meetings with members of Congress and a Presidential Lecture Series featuring government and business leaders. In addition, Yolanda is involved in a once-a-week class See Washington, Page 12 1111125.ma,1.1111 MSBRIEFS Former Astronaut PinkV Nelson 10 address Parkside Grads Mav 16 The University of Wisconsin-Parkside holds Spring Commencement ~n Sunday, May 16, in the Sports and Activities Center.

Hunger Clean Up donation A donation of $150 was recently made to the University of WisconsinParkside's Hunger Clean Up from The Catholic Knights Branch 278-Paris. Judy Christman, program assistant in the Activities Office, presented the check to Michelle Wegner, Volunteer and Experiential Program coordinator, on April 28. The Catholic Knights Insurance Society home office nominated Christman's branch for Fraternal Branch of the Year. They won the award and received a plaque and a check for $150 to present to the charity of their choice According to Christman, Branch 278 was planning on volunteering at the event, but was unable to get pledges so they donated the money. Wegner said the money will have a major impact. "We appreciate the creative ways faculty and staff contributed to the cause in addition to volunteering," said Wegner.

Working? Relaxing? Going to classes ... at college? That's right, going to classes at college, right here at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, in fact. There are some highly motivated returning students who surrender their weekends for higher learning. Weekend College is a new twist for the non-traditional student. One aspect of Weekend College is its opens for anyone who wants to complete a degree while working. Most students entering the program obtain approximately 60 credits or more. Session for of Weekend College is currently in progress. Beginning in March and ending in early June. There are four different sessions to choose from, ech in three to four month increments. Professors in History and Psychology (to name a few) teach the int~rdisciplinary / organizational studies classes in the program. "Giving up Friday nights is tough, but okay," says current Weekend College study Trudy Beihn. Beihn entered the program with 69 credits and has been continuing for the last five years. Her focus is organizational behavior and thinks "it's a great learning experience, and the instructors are geared toward the non-traditiona I student." Beihn's personal interest is affirmative action legislation. "The instructors encourage the students to use personal examples in their area of interest or work." There are three simple steps in beginning the adventure of the Interdisciplinary Studies Major. Application, Advising and Registration, it really is as easy as that. The course listings are published in the course schedule under the heading of Interdisciplinary Studies. The Advising Center always has information regarding this innovative education. Beihn envisions more success for this program as the curriculum grows. "I enjoy Weekend College and like how the work and the subjects are applicable to the working, family environment."

Technology has enabled us to break from the traditional ways of learning, and expand its horizons. Computers have taken an ever-increasing role in our schools, to the point where elementary kids know more about computers than college students did at their age. One example of how technology has been used to aid students is a course called Calculus Offered On Line (COOL). Using Netscape or Internet Explorer and being connected to the Internet give mathematically inclined students a great opportunity. Don Piele, a math Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, is making it possible for high school students across the state to obtain college credits while still in high school. Mathematica 3.0 is integrated into COOL, which offers limitless features. With Mathematica a problem that would take even the most mathematically inclined student S minutes is done in a matter o f seconds. Pie le stresses the importance of not only the speed at which problems can be solved, but also the fact that students understand the concepts of the math problems. For this reason, Piele stress. es the use of the text book, which is the primary tool used to learn calculus. Homework is checked through the completion of notebooks and sending them back with e-mail messages. COOL is offered via the World Wide Web and covers the same material that would be covered over a semester at UW-Parksidc. This class is intended for rural or inner city students who are not offered the class in their school due to a lack of demand. Those who pa~s COOL receive five hours of college credit, which are transferable to any university in the United States. COOL is extremely scll'ctive, only those who arc self-disciplined and willing to learn Mathematica 3.0 on their own will bi: SUCl"f•ssful. "It is not recommendl'<l for those who are not comfortabll' with the use of a computer," Piele say!c>. I It> goes on to say, '1 am not letting n lot of people know about thl' course bc..'Causc I w,mt to feel comfort.1lilc with it." Pielt' is referring to the fact thnt he wants tu sre that this coul'S4.' is serving the best interests of the student. Additional infom1ational is avail,1blc through the UWP.:irk.,;1dc's home pngc.

The class also held a bake sale March 31. At the sale, Habitat for HlllThmity representatives were on hand with a special piece of lumber: a 2x4, that could be signed for a $1 donc1tion. The 2x4 eventually was incorporated into a Habitat for Humanity home. Class representative:; said the idea gave everyone who could not volunteer a chance to participate. So far the class has donated $400 to the organiz.ation. This money will go toward building supplies.

While at the National Student Nurses Association fNSNA) convention in western Pennsylvania, the '-late delegation received four awards on behalf of Wiscoru.in. "We received the Legislation/Education Political lnvol\'ement Award,'~said senior nursing student Debbie Bradley.

The awards were collected by Wiscon.o;in Student Nurse Association President Barb Jones~ a UWParkside student. The award for the community health project was a source of particular pride for UW-Parkside. The project was aimed at increasing breast health awareness in the state. The UW-Parkside student nurses, working with students from 35 other Wisconsin colleges with nursing programs, distributed informa• tion at clinics, malls, and other public locations about breast hC'alth. ·n,e student nurses te.imed with the American Cancer Society and the Wisconsin Woml'n's Cancer Control Program as part of this award-winning effort. "We an- really proud to have received this kind of nxognition from our national organiution," :;aid UW-P.1rksi,le Student 'ur.;e A!-SOciation President Susan Klemp. "Nearly every state in the country was rl'pre:st;:nted at the 'SNA convention and for our state to pick up four major awards-and to have much of the effort coming from people here at Park.,ide-that's something everyone can be proud of." The national awards came just a fow weeks after the OW-Parkside ::.tudents nurses were honored by the state with a pair of awards. At the stall' con\"cntion, UW-Park.,ide received the Ol.1pter of the Year Award and the Membership Excitt'ment Award for increased membership.

She is a junior at UW-Parkside who also is an intern at SC Johnson Wax. Melissa is extremely involved in many activities that help educate the youths and stop crime and violence in the Racine community. Her biggest accomplishment to date was her involvement in Make A Difference Day. During the day, she organized and held activities for the children to participate in, prepared gift bags for the community's children, and went around to various companies and homes to find donations. Anderson, with a lot of help from other people who have big hearts, were able to raise $7,000 according to USA Today's 1999 Make A Difference Awards news section which displays a picture of Anderson reading to a group of kids. She has been a part of other programs to further help the cause of solving neighborhood problems and educate the youth including AHANA and the Weed and Seed program with the Racine Police. A mentor to many local kids, Melissa is also very academically intensive. She has received scholarships from Johnson Wax. "It is hard sometimes to juggle school, work, and community projects; but I do it for the kids." she said. Melissa also says that children and older teens often come to her like a second mother. She has learned that the three most important things that she needed to be are supportive, open-minded, and very willing to support the youth. Among other things that motivate Melissa, she says that her family, her belief in Christ, and wanting a better neighborhood free of crime and drugs are the strongest. "No matter how much I want to leave I can't," she stated, "because I have a duty from the man upstairs."

"I attended SI sessions last semester for Bioscience 101 and got an "A" in the class. Without SI, I don't think I would have gotten an "A". 1111121.• 111.1111 Supplemental Instruction (SI) is an academic assistance program which offers peer facilitated study sessions for students in courses that, historically, have challenging content. SJ sessions, which are held after each lecture in a nearby classroom, are facilitated by an SI Leader who has already taken the course and serves as a model student. On one of the first spring like days, students in Dr. Chen's Bioscience convinced their SI Leader, Elisabeth Stoeger to meet outside. Despite the distractions of students basking in the sun and tossing frisbees, these eager Bio students concentrated on plant and animal tissues. SI is also offered by Senior Jami Alleman in Economics 120 and Junior, Linda Edwards in Geography 110. According to the SI Supervisor, Kathleen Riepe, the Fall, 1998 data reflects grade improvements in line with the nationaJ figures. Compared with students who did not attend SI Sessions, participants in Bioscience, Economics and Geography SI improved their grades by as much as eight tenths of a letter grade. SJ Sessions will be offered in these classes for this Fall semester, although the SI will be for Chemistry 101 in Fall 1999 and Chemistry 102 in Spring 2000.

The national theme this year was "Volunteers Have That Magic Touch." For entertainment a magician, Scott Brown, performed walk-around magic. He amazed many of our volunteers who are still stumped to this day! As a token of our appreciation, a red carnation was given to each volunteer who attended the event. We also gave away a cookie in the shape of a hand to complement our magic touch theme. Again, the Volunteer Program would like to take the opportunity to thank all volunteers who dedicated their time and effort this semester. You are greatly appreciated by us and the agencies you serve.

In Tuesday's doubleheader, the team kept the bats going and got 24 hits and 25 runs to sweep Saint Francis University by scores of 16-2 and 9-7. The Ranger's offense started right away in the first inning of the first game when Carrie Mach has a leadoff triple to rightfield. Rhonda Matoska doubled to bring in Mach. Lacey Hughes doubled to score Matoska. Annette Dugenske reached base on an error by the Lady Saints' shortstop which allowed Hughes to score. Lone senior Nicky Durnin also reached on an error and Dugenske moved to second. Jamie Gebhard knocked a single 1 to load the bases. Carrie Swanson singled to center to bring in Dugenske. At this point in the inning Saint Francis changed pitchers, but catcher Nicole Niles made the doubt that decision by ripping a double to right center to knock in two more runs. The Rangers were almost able to bat around the line-up twice but in her second trip to the plate, Niles grounded out the the last out of the 11 run inning The Rangers also added two more runs in the third when Swanson brought in Gebhard and Dugenske on her double to left center. The final three runs were scored in the fourth when Hughes smacked a long homer to left centerfield. UW-Parkside had four doubles, one triple and one home run in the first game alone. Mach and Hughes both went 3-4 and Gebhard and Swanson both went 2-3. Hughes chipped in five RBIs. The final score was 16-2. Katie Evans pitched the complete game and allowed seven hits, no walks and two strikeouts. Saint Francis was plagued by errors, committing a a total of seven in the first outing of the afternoon. In the second game, the Lady Saints wanted to keep it a little more close, but still were unable to keep Ranger sticks quiet. They kept the Rangers to just three runs in the first inning compared to the whopping 11 the Rangers scored in the previous game. The Rangers scored three runs in both the first and second innings. In the first, Matoska scored when Hughes doubled to centerfield . Dugenske picked up two more when she hit a homer to center. In the second, Matoska picked up all three runs on her home run to center. The Rangers also scored two in the third and one in the sixth to keep their lead and gain the win. Evans pitched her second complete game of the day an d allowed only five hits, no walks and two strikeouts. Her final record for the season is 12-15. The Rangers final record for the season is 24- 28. Men's Baseball falls 10 rival Carthage 10-3 Sonya Flowerr The Ranger Baseball team travell'd to Carthage College with hopes to beat the Division 3, number 2 team in the Nation but foll short by a score of 10-3. The Carthage Redmen jumped straight to the le.id in the first iM ing and never looked back. The Redmen scofl•d four runs m the first including three on Redmen's Ke\in Sullivan who hit n three-run homer. The Ranpers' Rick Lopez was the leading hitter for the day, going 24 off of 5-1 Curt Thomas. Thomas allowed four hits, four walks, and one strikeout. Centerfielder and Union Grove native Jason Morgan was 1-3 and also added an RBI. Carthage used wood bats in this outing, which is the first time since their season opener. This game was the last for the 1998-99 Rangers, who finished 21-23. The season record was a little under their hopes of finishing with a .500 rt.'C'Ord. While the Rangers are done for the season, Carthage has been named to host the 1999 National Collegiate Athletic Association Division-3 Central Region Baseball Championships.

Vito Tribuzio Many of today's thinkers are needlessly puzzling over Unexplained Clintonism while the question of whether the British chip is a relative of the French-fried potato has entirely been forgotten. In today's verbose and nonsensical world, there is truly only one philosophical inquiry worth puzzling over, and that is, "Do you want fries with that? Don't laugh, this is very serious stuff. I'm utterly irritated by the unjust manner by which Englishspeaking people take nicely worded phrases and change them so that even some of the best spoken and written statements become confusing nonsense when linguistic logicians such as myself analyze them. Americans are not at fault here, folks, the bloody British are, since they're always taking liberties with our language and making it complicated. My form r spouse is part British, and the oth r day she said this to me: "I'm so steamed I could kill you!" Her stat ment implies that she was irritated, which in turn means that my ex was steamed Announcing for Fall 19991 even though I know for a fact that she's not a Boston clam. In any case, such statements don't make sense to me, even when I'm sober. Let's examine these simple fac t : 1. Clams are dead once they're steamed. 2. Before getting fully steamed, clams get irritat d by the heat. 3. Clams are first irritated by the heat and then fully teamed by the heat. Therefore, clam. get double-irritated when they'r steamed. Let's examine this legal qu stion: "D es Bill Clinton's tatement hold water?" This implies, "Is Clinton telling the truth despite the fact that nobody r ally know what 'is' is?" 1. Clinton's statement must hold water to be true. 2. Clinton cannot live by water alone. 3. About 90% of the human body i made of water. Therefore, Clinton is all wet. If that ain't enough, let's e amine thi statement: "Humor columnists tickle my fancy." 1. It i uppo ed that somewhere in my body I have something called fancy. 2.

There are some that are special effects extravagazanas that entertain us like Men In Black, Independence Day, and Jurassic Park. There are some that are Academy Award contenders like Forrest Curnp, Saving Private Ryan, The Fugitive, and Braveheart. And then there are some that given a lot of hype but are major disappointments such as GodzilJa, The Last Action Hero, and The Avengers. This summer should be no different. Here are the summer flicks I plan on seeing, the ones I have no intention on seeing, and the ones that I am kind of iffy on. Movies Ireally want to see One will quench your thirst. The other could set you up for rape. Which would you drink? \_ -J Rape is a sad reality. And it can happen to anyone:. Even you. When secretly slipped into a beverage, even a glass of iced tea, sedating substances can leave anyone vulnerable to sexual assault. You may not be able to see it, smell it, or taste it. And you don't have to be at a bar or club. It could happen in any social setting. The tragic fact is that the reasons for rape really have nothing to do with you. It happens only because there are people who wish to harm. But !here are SOIJ1£ things that may help mIua your risk: • Always keep your beverage in Sight. • At a bar or club, accept drinks only from the bartender or server. • At social gatherings, don't accept open-container drinks from anyone. • If you experience dizziness, extreme drowsiness, or other sudden and unexplained symptoms, call someone you trust. Go to a hospital emergency room immediately. Try to retain a sample of the beverage for testing. 1£ you think you've been sexually assaulted, call (800)656-HOPE for a rape crisis center near you, or call the police immediately. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. There are tests to .help prove you've been drugged, and a federal law that can put the rapist in prison for 20 years. So please, help reduce your risk... Watchyour drinkl 1. Star Wars-Episode I: The Phantom Menace- Well, duh! That probably didn't take much of a guess to figure that out! 2. Eyes Wide Shut- Stanley Kubrick's last movie is definitely a high priority on my list, considering that I am a big Kubrick fan (A Clockwork Orange, The Shining, Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangeglove). 3. Wild, Wild West- This is the Fourth of July Big Willie movie. Based on the 1960's series, the sci-fi Western comedy stars Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branaugh, and Salma Hayek. But I heard there were problems with it because the director reshot some scenes to put more humor in it, which is not a good sign. And that last trailer really sucked! 4. Mystery Men- Based on a comic about mediocre superheroes. Kind of sounds like The Tick cartoon, doesn't it? If it has at least half the humor The Tick has, I'llbe happy. 5. The Mummy- This may be one of those summer flicks with great eye candy and little plot. But what the heck! I'll probably see it next weekend when it comes out. 6. Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me- Yeah baby! The secret agent of the sixties who was transported to the nineties returns back to the sixties. And so will Dr. Evil, who will probably demand ... one mmmillion dollars! 7. Big Daddy- An Adam Sandler comedy. What else can I say but 'TIude! I'm there!" Movies Icould care less about 1. Inspector Gadget- Somebody please tell me why on earth Disney decided to make a movie out of a cheesy cartoon! Probably to please the kiddies I'll bet. But I still think it looks stupid! 2. Dudley Do-Right- The cartoon was dumb and I'll bet this will be too. Brendan Fraser is doing another movie from a Jay Ward cartoon. While I'm talking about Jay Ward cartoons, I didn't like George of the Jungle either! 3. Killing Mrs. Tingle- The plot is about a high-school student (Katie Holmes) kidnapping a teacher (Helen Mirren). This is the directing debut of Kevin Williamson, a name I am getting sick and tired of hearing about. Kevin, do us all a favor and take some time off! 4. Tarzan- I don't hate Disney cartoons. I just make it a rule not to see them in the theaters because of little kids who talk all during the show. Movies on the border 1. Iron Giant- 1his is a cartoon about a boy and a robot. I heard that the animation on this was supposed to be a first-rate piece of work that was also groundbreaking. I haven't seen any trailers on this yet, so we'll have to see. But I get the feeling I will change my mind on this one. 2. The Deep Blue Sea- Scientists use sharks to find a cure for A1tzheimer's Disease, resulting in sharks getting more brain-power and a larger size. Something gets wrong and they get loose. Sounds like fun but three things are questionable here: 1. This sounds like Jaws. 2. This doesn't sound realistic. 3. The director of this movie also made the bombs Cutthroat Island and The Long Kiss Goodnight (even though the last one is really underrated). 3. American Pie- This high school comedy about teens trying to lose their virginity may be hilarious. But at the same time, I'm getting a little sick of high school movies? 4. Notting HilI- Itstars Julia Roberts as a movie star and Hugh Grant as a book-keeper who fall in love. Predicted to be a big hit like My Best Friend's Wedding. But this sounds like a chick flick. Guys, if you're going to see th'ls movie, take a date. 5. South Park- By the time this comes out, Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny may be stale. Remember, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have given us high expectations, and then pissed us off by trying to be cute! And also keep in mind that they made that god-awful BASEketball! 6. The Thomas Crown AffairRemake of the 1968 Steve MeQueenFaye Dunaway cat-and-mouse tIuiller starring Pierce Brosnan in the McQueen role (a rich man who is a jewelry thief for the sheer thrill of it) and Rene Russo in the Dunaway role (the woman who is sent to capture him). The action comes when they try to bait each other. It may be interesting to see these two because they sound perfectly cast. But this could be done wrong too. 1111121 .••••. 1,11 11 M US IC• MOVIES • MUS I C•M OV IE S•M US I C • M OV IE S •M US I C•MC mertime: so manv movies and so little lime ummy Every summ r at th multiplex , we arc bombarded with , Jot f n w movi that are d signed t gi ·e us a good tim , if not e actly make our brains bett r.

Star Wars-Episode I: The Phantom Menace- Well, duh! That pr bably didn't take much of a guess to figure that out! 2. Ey s Wide Shut- Stanley Kubrick's la t movie is d finitely a high priority on my list, considering that I am a big Kubrick fan {A Clockwork Orang , The hining, Full M tal Jacket, Dr. Strangeglove). 3. Wild, Wild West- This is the Fourth of July Big Willie movie. Based on the 1960's series, th sci-fi Western comedy tars Will Smith, Kevin Kline, K nneth Branaugh, and Salma Ha ek. But I heard there w re pr bl ms with it b cau e the dir ctor reshot som seen to put more humor in it, which is n t a good ign. And that 1 t trail r r ally sucked! 4.

Th er t agent of th i ti who was transportd to the nin ti returns back to the sixties. And so will Dr. Evil, who will probably demand ... one mmmillion dollars! 7. Big Daddy- An Adam Sandler comedy. What el e can I say but "Dude! I'm there!" Movies I could care less about 1. Inspector Gadg t- Somebody please tell me why on earth Di ney decided to make a movie out of a cheesy cartoon! Probably to please the kiddies I'll bet. But I still think it looks tupid! 2. Dudley Do-Right- The cartoon was dumb and I'll bet this will be too. Brendan Fraser is doing another movie from a Jay Ward cartoon. While I'm talking about Jay Ward cartoons, I didn't like George of the Jungle either! 3. Killing Mrs. Tingle- The plot is about a high-school student (Katie Holmes) kidnapping a teacher (Helen Mirren). This is the directing debut of Kevin Williamson, a name I am getting sick and tired of hearing about. Kevin, do us all a favor and take some time off! 4. Tarzan- I don't hat Disn y cartoons.

UW-Parkside Serbian students anguish over Kosovo Christine DonaIies Editors Note: The opinions expressed in this article are those of the students quoted and do not necessiarly reflect the opinions of the Ranger or it's staff. The NATO bombings against Yugoslavian Serbs have caused several Serbian students at UW- Parkside to claim NATO is oper- ating under double standards. In addition, these students agree NATO's action is illegal and has united the Serbian people. Serbians and Albanians have made bloody conquests of. Kosovo for thousands of years, each claiming their right to the land. Americans are presented one side of the story; interviews from Serbian students reveal another. Dalibor Tomic is seeking a Business degree and is a senator for UW-Parkside's Student Government. He points out NATO's illegal action by reminding us of the UN Charter. "NATO can't bomb without the authorization of the UN Security Council which they never got, and they can't bomb a sovereign nation unless that country" threatens any of the NATO countries." Tomic is the first American- born citizen in his family. His family moved from Bosnia to the U.S. in 1972; and he was born in 1979. His grandfather lives in Belgrade, but most of his family is in Novi Sad, Bosnia. NATO bombings have occurred in Novi Sad, and Tomic's family has been unable to communicate with any of their relatives. "I don't think it's fair, if they're [NATO] going to do one thing to one side, I feel they should do it to the other side." He refers to the Croatian Army's rapid expulsion carried out in a number of days of 200,000 ethnic Serbs from Krajina, Croatia in 1995. 14,000 Serbs were killed and 73% of their homes destroyed. "NATO didn't do anything," Tomic declared. ''I'm not saying we're innocent, a lot of atrocities are being committed by all three sides . . . They should stop the bombing and go back to the negotiating table because they were getting real close to peace." He believes it wo~d be fair if both sides continued living in Kosovo and claims Serbian President, Slobodan Milosevic revoked Kosovo's autonomy .because "A lot of Serbians were· fleeing the region. They were being robbed, murders were being commi tted, and they [Albanians] were discriminatory towards the Serbian people ·because they [Serbs] were the minority." Because Milosevic was not a popular president, Tomic infers, "One of NATO's goals was to divide the Serbian people, but the bombings had an opposite affect; they united and strengthened Serbian support for Milosevic. . "I was not a great fan of Milosevic," he explains, 'but now I have to support what he's doing because a lot of Serbs did flee the region and he did get rid of their [Albanian] power. Then the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) formed and they wanted inde- pendence. I just don't think that's right, the US government even labeled the KLA a terrorist orga- nization six months ago." Tatjana Bicanin agrees with Tomic concerning Milosevic. She is a double major in Business and Communication pursuing a Conflict Analysis and Resolution Certificate, and also is a first-gen- eration Serbian-American. Her father was born in Kosovo and migrated to the US at 19. Over 25 years, he moved most of his fam- ily from Kosovo to the US. . . Bicanin talks about her aunt who lives near Belgrade with her two high school-aged children. "There are a lot of [NATOl bomb- ings in Belgrade right now and for the last three weeks, school has stopped for them. Now they just stay at home and hide in their basement when the skies are all lit up with bombs. .. I can't even imagine what they're going through because I've never experienced it. 1wish they could come over here." Two men in her family recent- ly had to join the Serbian Army. "There's always been friction over there and this goes way back. It's all about politics, but I also think they believe what they're doing is right in sticking up for their own community."

The program features recitations by University professors and students, the Root River Poets, and music, all beginning at 7 p.m. Original poems will be presented by UW- Parkside Professor Donald Kummings, Senior Lecturer Patrick McGuire, Professor Emeritus Alan Shucard, and student Juli.e Nondorf. Root River Poets who will present include Charlotte Cote, Debra Hall, Pat Kardas, Elizabeth Katch, Steven Platt, and Sheryl Slocum, Throughout the evening, UW-Parkside Academic Librarian and soprano Dina Kaye will supply a lyrical counterpoint to the readings.

The exhibit is located in the display cases near the Levell library elevators. The exhibit focuses on archival and library resources available for histori- cal research. The book is the culmination of a 12-year research effort utiliz- mg manuscript collections, government documents, contemporary newspa- per and periodical articles, biographical sources, and dissertations and the- ses. Examples of these resources are highlighted in the exhibit. The exhibit was completed by the staff of the University Archives and Area Research Center with assistance from Professor Buenker and Judith Pryor, Coordinator of Reference. Overblown fence causes postponed games The UW-Parkside Men's baseball team was unable to play this past weekend because the leftfield fence was blown over due to the windy weather conditions. The mishap may cause this weekends home games to be reloaded to a local area if the $7,000 fence cannot be fixed.

The Plan 2008 committee, chaired by Larry Duetsc.h, has worked overtime to produce an excellent plan that effectively addresses all seven of the UW System's diversity goals for the next decade. I would also like to thank everyone who attended meetings and contributed ideas and suggestions. This was truly a campuswide effort. As a relatively new Chancellor, I am happy that the campus has recommended to the Regents an aggressive plan to pursue enhanced diversity in the campus community. It gives me a map to follow for the future, and whatever has happened in the past is history. It allow me to expect energetic directions toward diversity that the campus has identified for itself. My administration fully encourages this direction. Our next challenge is to carry out this plan. I am concerned that every member of this educational community recognize that the specific goals will not be attained unless we all enter into the effort in a spirit of constructive dialogue. One expects to find differing ideas in an educational setting. However, we must avoid actions, statements, and other behaviors that constitute harassment of individuals or groups, while at the same time maintaining an environment that supports the free exchange of ideas. Racial and ethnic diversity is a crucial element of any college campus today. Without a diverse faculty, staff, and student body, as well as a curriculum that reflects a rich diversity of peoples and cultures, none of our students will obtain an adequate education for the 21st Century. We will not be able to build on the progress we have made in our learning community unless we maintain a high level of collegiality and a campus climate that is free of harassment. Language or behavior that corrodes building a positive climate will not be tolerated on See Letter, Page 12 IC "a' NEWS ...... · ............. 2-6 COMMENTARY ............. J SPORTS ................... 8 z ENTERTAINMENT ....... 9-11 JUMP ..................... 12 - Disc Goll at OW-Parkside Erin Reimer It's happened to many of us when we have stayed on campus for the weekend and thought "there is nothing to do here." Students say UWParkside needs more weekend activities. Well, at least a partial solution may come this Fall. UW-Parkside is working to start a "Disc Golf" program. Administrators hope the course will help keep students here on the weekends. The course would be located in the between the Communication Arts and the Sports and Activities Center. UW-Parkside received a matching basket grant from the Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA). The PDGA pays for nine of the basket holes, but UW-Parkside still needs to raise money for the other nine baskets. Each "hole" will have signs indicating the hole number, the distance in feet, a description of the hole, and a student organization sponsorship. Biology's Ed Wallen researched the PDGA grant. He then showed the idea to Residence Life Director DeAnn Stone, . and she signed for the grant. The course is scheduled for a possible opening date in Fall of Disc golf may become the latest craze at UW-Parkside this fall. 1999. What is disc golf? Disc golf is played much like traditional golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, players use a Frisbee. The sport started in the 1970s, and shares golf's objective of completing each hole in the fewest number of strokes, or in the case of disc golf, fewest number of throws. A.disc is thrown from a tee area to a target, which is the "hole." The hole can be one of a number of disc golf targets; the most common is called a Pole Hole, an elevated metal basket.

He goes on to explain, "Users connected to it over the internet create and change the environment as they interact within it in real time." The basic MOO language and database were developed by Xerox about ten years ago. MOOs are used for a great variety of purposes, ranging from on-line instruction to pure socializing. The UW-Parkside MOO has had over a thousand regular users, about a third of them being UW -Parkside students. It also includes people from over a dozen countries. He has taught two classes entirely on-line using the Parkside MOO. "This semester all of my classes are using it, with varying degrees of success, to post to a class bulletin board and to access sample test results." MOO is now in its third year of operation, and can be reached at http://moo.uwp.edu:8000. For more information, contact Professor Robert Canary in the English Department at (414) 595-2525.

Titled "The Progressive Era," it covers the state's growth from 1893 to 1915, and is one of six volumes chronicling the History of Wisconsin. It has been added to the State Historical Collection. Buenker spent 11 years researching and studying the state's history for the book. The progressive era of Wisconsin interests Buenker because our's is one of the most progressive states in U.S. history. Buenker thinks Wisco;'sin is the number one state to research due to the numerous amount of changes that occurred during this era. Political reform, educational, and income tax changes are just a few of the many lasting changes covered in this volume. "It was a period in which the state had the greatest notoriety, the greatest respect throughout the nation," said Buenker. A full chapter in "The Progressive Era" is dedicated to The "Wisconsin Idea." There is no clear definition given for this area in history according to Buenker, therefore he felt that.he should elaborate on this division of history. The combination of research and study in this field that Buenker has done gives his students an abundant source of information. The information he gathers outside of his classroom material also is a rich resource for his students to tap. Buenker conducted his study at the UWParkside's Research Center and at the State Historical Society Library. Teaching is an opportunity for him to let his knowledge and his classroom text reinforce one another. "The Progressive Era" can be found at most local book stores including Schwartz's, Barnes and Noble, and The University of Wisconsin Press store. It also is available at the UWParkside's library. ~,.l!.~,.".,fi.t""..'e" "e" "." "." "." "e" "e"-"."-"."..-"e" "." ".1., "1,, "'."..."- ." "." "." "e" "."..."-."

What is it this time? One-hundred and twenty five fourth and fifth grade kids taking a tour of the UW-Parkside campus. Why would such young kids be taking a tour of a college campus, you might ask? They, along with the Communication Senior Seminar class, are participating in a program called "College Bound". The program is designed to stress the importance of education, but also to give children the opportunity to learn about college at a young age. Many students don't receive general knowledge about college until they enter high school, so learning at a young age can be beneficial The goal of the program is to inform young children about the benefits of education, and how doing well in school now will benefit them in the future by increasing their chances of gelling into college. The Senior Seminar class has visited five classrooms at Mitchell elementary school in Racine over the past five weeks. Different topics were discussed with the children each time, and now it's their turn to visit our school. This is the last visit, and it gives the children a chance to experience first-hand what they have been learning about.

In college campus dining halls, students tend to overeat at the buffets. The featured foods there are not necessarily nutritious and low in fat. "Grilled foods, pizza, and sub sandwiches are the favorites at UW-Parkside," said Kevin Slowik, head of UW-Parkside's food service. "The nutritional breakdown of our recipes are available although I'd say the athletes are the only ones who request them." Oftentimes, busy students choose convenient foods and fast-food restaurants as quick and inexpensive meals. "I usually have donuts and coffee in the morning," Mile Stankovic said. In order to assure a healthy diet, there are seven dietary guidelines you should follow. The U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services issued the following dietary guidelines. First: eat a variety of foods. Choose serving from each group on the Food Guide Pyramid. Variety provides the necessary nutrients and other substances needed for good health. "I eat healthy which helps me concentrate and gives me the extra energy I need to do my schoolwork," Stankovic said. "Usually Ieat healthy, especially at breakfast," jessica Charon said, "but my downfall is at finals when 1 tend to drink more coffee to stay alert." Nicole Morano also confessed to drinking coffee and eating candy around finals but said, "Usually, I do not eat healthy." Second: balance the food you eat with physical activity; maintain or improve your weight. Regular physical activity keeps you from becoming overweight and also increases one's energy level. Avoid crash diets. Instead. eat less fat, control portion sizes, and increase physical activity. Third: choose a diet with plenty of vegetables, grain products, and fruits. These foods provide minerals, vitamins, dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates and other substances important for good health. Slowik said two soups and vegetables are offered daily in the UW-Parkside cafeteria besides vegetarian dishes, pastas and stir fries. Fourth: choose a diet low in fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol. Some dietary fat is needed in our diet; good choices are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats found in nuts, fish and vegetable oils. Avoid the intake of trans-fat found in deep-fried fast foods and other products made with hydrogenated vegetable oils. High cholesterol intake can be a problem for some people so cut back on animal foods that contain cholesterol. Fifth: choose a diet moderate in sugars. Diets high in simple sugars promote tooth decay and supply calories but few nutrients. Sugar can be an additional energy source for those who are active, but to maintain a healthy body weight sugars should be consumed in moderation. "I usually eat candies like Skittles and Nerds for quick energy," said Chad Colombari. Sixth: choose a diet moderate in salt and sodium. Although sodium is an essential nutrient, it is only needed in small amounts. A high amount of sodium has been linked to high blood pressure and an increase in calcium loss that contributes to osteoporosis. Seventh: if you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation. Alcohol provides only calories with few, if any, nutrients. Alcohol should only be consumed in moderation, with meals, and when consumption puts no one at risk. To summarize the guidelines, college students should choose low-fat, low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, grains, fruits, lean protein sources, and non-fat dairy products rather than sugar and sweets, fatty foods, and alcoholic beverages. Will good nutrition make you smarter? By following the guidelines, you are going to have more energy. When you have more energy, you will study more productively, and for a longer time. These positives are in all students' favor. Memories of Spring Breaks Past Tiffany Stopa Deciding where to go for spring break this year was tough. There were so many great places to go. Some destinations, of course, are better than others. In years past, I've gone to Vail, CO., but this year I decided to go to Key West, FL. Both are great vacation destinations. Two years ago, I went skiing in Vail, Colorado, one of the best places to ski out west. Vail is nestled in a valley about 200 miles from Denver. I decided the best and cheapest way to get to Vail was to fly into Denver and take a bus to V.ail. The views that I experienced during the drive were breathtaking. When I went to Vail I went with a couple friends who were very good skiers. We rented a condo and split the cost. It is cheaper to rent a condo because then it's not necessary to go out to dinner every night and costs can be split. My travel agent found my friends and I a condo that best fit our budget. Some nice hotels I saw were the Vail Racket Ball Club, The Christiana, and The Vail Lodge. Ski lift tickets were the most expensive part of the trip. We spent about $40 a day on lift tickets. The City of Vail offers a free bus service to all destinations in the city which we took advantage. From fast food to five-star restaurants, there were a variety of places to eat. Shopping in Vail was exquisite and expensive but I found some unique gifts for my family. Key West was a great place to go and relax and just take things "day-byday. Its a half-hour plane ride from Miami, but flight into Key West are scarce because the airport is so small. My family and I decided to fly instead of drive because there's not much to see on the way. "The Florida Keys comprise one of the most diverse eco-systems in the world and provide us with such natural beauty that it's hard to imagine the Keys being a part of the real world," comments john Criswell author of the Key West Vacation Guide. Surprisingly, white sand beaches are hard to come by in Key West so we stayed at a hotel with a pool. The island was formed by coral reef, so there were only a couple of sand beaches available for swimming. We also went snorkeling and scuba diving through all of the magnificent reefs. Hotel prices can range from $60 to $300 dollars a night depending on if it's a condo or hotel room. We stayed at the Key West Hilton, a very nice hotel. The room rates there ran between $175 to $350. The Hilton was in dose walking distance or a short scooter ride to all the points of interest. Duval Street through downtown Key West is about seven blocks of popular bars, restaurant, and shops of all sorts. There were many beach shops, clothing stores, and souvenir stores. Some popular bars and great restaurants that we went to were Fat Tuesdays, Margaritavile, and Sloppy [oes. There were also many different fast food restaurants to choose from. Christine james, a college student, said, "I have never had such a fun spring break before and I would defiantly come back, the nightlife was a blast." Historical Key West was also very interesting. There was a trolley to the historical points of interest such as Ernest Hemingway's house. The beautiful architecture and flowers were very unique and greatly appreciated. These two destinations that I have visited were fun and enjoyable. I would definitely consider traveling back to both of them. I do have to say that I did like the sunny and warm atmosphere of Key West better than Vail. Now maybe you have some ideas for next spring break and just remember its never too early to start planning for next year. AnoOWlciag for Fall 1999: Schedule classes when you want!

The reason for this phenomenon is not that all of the students are going on a weekend vacation or that all of their cars are in the shop. The reason why the parking lots are empty is because there is nothing to do here on the weekends. UW-Parkside weekends bring boredom to students. As Shauna Ronchetto stated, "Students need a place to go on the weekends and Parkside's campus just doesn't cut it." There are basically only four facilities open to students on the weekends: The library is opened on Sat. from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sun. from noon to 6 p.m. The cafeteria which closes down on Fri. afternoon at 1 p.m., is opened from 11 rn, to 1 p.m. on Sat. and Sun., and The Grill is opened from 4:30 to 7 p.m. on Fri. and Sun., while only staying open from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Sat. With hours and limitations like this students are basically forced to eat according to a very confined menu. The Rec Center, located on the 02 level of the Union, is also open on the weekends from 3 p.m. to 12 a.m. on Sat. and 3 to 11 p.m. on Sun. Even though they hold restricted hours there is plenty to there if bowling, playing pool, and video games is what someone is looking to do on the weekends. Not only are all other facilities, such as Hard Hat Cafe, Sub Connection, and the Career and Advising Centers closed, which are usually open to students during the week but clubs usually don't even meet on the weekends. Pool parties and Rec Center club nights are reserved for weekdays and the only movies that are offered are in the Foreign Film Series. Aerobic swim and regular class-- es are only opened to students during the week also. Even if these activities were opened on the weekends some students don't feel like that is enough. Ryan Ellifson stated, '1wish that there were more movies on Sat. night and it wouldn't hurt if there was a bar on campus." DeAnn Stone, director of Residence Life, agrees that the lack of things to do on the weekends is a concern and is currently being looked at and modified. So far there has been a trip to the Chicago Art Institute, and a trip to the lmax Theater. There are also Midnight Madness nights, which involves bowling being offered at the Rec Center on certain Sat. nights during the year. Not to mention Greek organizations offering dances periodically and movies are still shown at the theater on Fri. nights. So, in retrospect, there are things to do here on the weekends. But until there more of a variety, students are going to have to continue cramming any extracurricular activities into their already busy weekday schedules. The Dogma Controversy Chris Summy Every once in a while we hear about a film that very serious controversies attached to it, especially when the subject is about religion. In 1978, South Carolina senator Strom Thurmond tried to get the Monty Python satire, The Life of Brian, banned in the U.S. because of its content (He later changed his mind.). In 1988, there was a furor over Martin Scorsese's Last Temptation of Christ, a drama about how a human Jesus Christ (Willem Dafoe) had to make a decision over whether or not to die for our sins (The flames were fueled over a scene in which Jesus dreams about have sex and the casting of David Bowie in an important religious role (his androgynous past is considered blasphemy to quite a few people}). And in 1995, there was Priest, a drama about a gay Catholic priest. Take a wild guess about where the problem lies. This year, hopefully corning to a theater near you, the controversial film is Dogma, written and directed by Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, and Chasing Amy). It is a religious sa tire abou t a local hero (Linda Fiorentino) who is joined by a band of misfits to save humanity from renegade angels Bartelby (Ben Affleck) and Loki (Matt Damon). Each traveler has their own set of beliefs but they to confront their faith and find their own relationships with God. Since filiming started early last year, the Catholic League protested the movie, saying that it makes light of Catholicism in a flippant and crude fashion. Many religious organizations plan on protesting it if it gets released (the company that releases it will not be spared either). Which is why Disney-owned Miramax Films, the company that planned on showing it, may be looking foe a new distributor. It seems that Disney is nervous about it and are pressuring Bob and Harvey Weinstein (the men who run Miramax, named after their parents Miriam and Max) to sell it. After the run-in with the Southern Baptists over Gay Day at Disney World, Disney chairman Michael Eisner would like. to keep his company's reputation as a family-friendly place. It is not the first time Miramax has given Disney a head-ache. It was the studio that released the controversial Priest, as well as Pulp Fiction and Trainspotting. But at the same time, Miramax has also released some grea t flicks such as The Crying Game, The Grifters, The Piano, The English Patient, Good Will Hunting, and Shakespeare in Love. It is considered the best place to go if you want to make a great movie. The Weinsteins believe in their work and Dogma is no exception. Just recently, they bought the flick from Disney for $10 million and plan on releasing it with a non- Disney studio. Considering this is not the first time they did that (they did it with Kids), they have a lot of guts. I can understand some of the complaints about Dogma, however. It does not sound like an easy movie at all. Here are some of the following highlights: 1. Linda Fiorentino's character works at an abortion clinic. 2. Salma Hayek plays a sexy Muse. 3. Chris Rock is a trash talking 13th Apostle. 4. Alanis Morisette plays a Skeeball obsessed God. 5. There is a demon that is literally made out of crap. 6. The Church in the movie has a "Catholicism Wow!" campaign with a smiling Buddy Christ as spokesman (instead of being nailed at the cross, he offers a thumbs-up salute). 7. Jay and Silent Bob, regulars from Kevin Smith movies, play the two prophets. It seems obvious tha t this film is not for everybody. But at the same time, why don't we see it first before we try to get it banned? Personally, I can't stand it when a few people feel the need to shove their views down everybody else's throats. Supposedly, Kevin Smith is a faithful Catholic who wanted to make this movie to show his belief in humanity and God. If it's true, then what should we be afraid of? It should be important to keep an open mind about this because it might tum out to be entertaining. if you don't want to watch it because you find it offensive, fine, that's no problem. But don't decide for everybody else, OK? --- - • 8 1111121.11,1122.11 ----· -- There is Nothing to do at Parkside on the eeke d Communicati ns A come UWParkside, tart g t all th hop.

Quick question: What do The Buluiorth, and have in common? Answer: They have relatively young women paired up with men who need Viagra. Robert Redford (61) and Kristen Scott Thomas (37), Warren Beatty (61) and Halle Berry (30), Michael Douglas (54) and Gwyneth Paltrow (26), Harrison Ford (56) and Anne Heche (28). Just like real life, right? This gets rather infuriating! The idea of the age discrepancies are showcased to highlight the maturity in an older person in the younger generation, studios say. Bull, I say. If that was true, then how often have you seen older women paired with really young men? There aren't too many examples of that. Here's a example. When casting was made on Batman Forever, Rene Russo was picked to play the shrink who analyzes Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton). But when Keaton dropped out and was replaced by Val Kilmer, Russo was dropped in favor of Nicole Kidman. It seems that Russo was too old for Kilmer (Yeah, a whole four years!). was done a year after she played Clint Eastwood's love interest in (there's a twenty-five year difference between Eastwood and Russo). And it doesn't seem to be gelling better. spring's stars Sean Connery as a robber and Catherine Zeta-Jones as his love interest. Considering that Connery is pushing 70 and Jones is around 30, what's wrong with this picture? And look at Julia Roberts. She seems to be making a career of in her movies. There were 17 years between her and Richard Gere in (and she's reteaming with him in this summer's 27 years with Nick Nolte in 14 with Dennis Quaid in 14 with John Malkovich in Mary and 17 years with Ed Harris in was a rarity because jier male co-stars were closer to her age. Ironically, Goldie Hawn's character uses Sean Connery as a reference in when she is upset about her failing acting career. She is upset that she has to playa hideous mother and says that Connery could play her daughter's boyfriend. She also gets plastic surgery in order to look young because she,complains there are only three types of roles for women: babe (sexy), district attorney (drab), and Driving Miss Daisy (old bag). Got it right on the money, didn't she? Hvpe: ENOUGH!! Chris Summy So here we are, a month before the release of Episode I: The hype has been building ever since George Lucas announced he was going to make prequels to the Star Wars trilogy two years ago. Frankly, I am getting so $O/o#*ingsick and tired of hearing about it. As we all know, the movie will be released on May 19 in the best movie theaters around the country so we can get the full effect. Personally, I am looking forward to seeing it because I love I went to see the Special Editions when they were released two years ago. Even though I have all three of the original movies on tape, I had never seen them on the big screen. So I went and had a great time. Let's face it, you haven't lived until to you see them in a theater! And yes, I am glad tha t there will be new movies in the future. But at the same time, we have these dorks on the Internet who want to spoil everything for us by showing sorts of key parts of the movie and telling us what the plot may be like. Why do some people feel the need to try to ruin the fun for all of us? I don't know about any of you, but I would like-to be surprised when I see it for the first time (with all due honesty, I do plan on seeing it several times!). I also have heard about people who are already camping out to get tickets. A month early? Get a freaking life! I'd like to see it on the first day but there's a limit to what I plan on doing about it. That obsessed I am not! And I'll be seriously pissed off some jerks keep buying tickets for lots of people for every single showing SQ that no else get gets to see it for a long if I realize that is a major phenomenon. It's a name that means a tremendous amount to billions of people around the world, me included. Hopefully, seeing Episode I will be a great experience for everyone involved. But let's remember an important tip: Hype can ruin a movie. Even a name such as isn't safe. After all, look what happened to Godzilla last year. anyone want the same thing to happen to one of the most beloved names in history? is a highly anticipated event but we have to remember to keep our feet on the ground. Then after we watch it, we can go crazy! May the force be with of you!

Considering the price of tickets and snacks nowadays, I do not expect to be disappointed. If the movie sucks, then it's my fault for having bad judgement. But sometimes the experience is bad because of the audience. One thing I hate are nuisances in the theater. Here are three problems I have had to deal with: 1. JERKS WHO CAN'T KEEP THEIR BIG MOlffHS SHlIT- I remember seeing Phenomenon three years ago at the Orpheum and discovered there were three kids in the front who kept talking throughout the whole movie. Many people in the audience kept telling them to be quiet but they wouldn't do it until they were GVE IFE LASMA. $$$ CASH PAYMENTS $$$ EARN UP TO AND OVER PER MONTH Plasma Donor Center Of Kenosha, Inc. 6212 22nd Ave. • Kenosha, WI (414) 654-1366 Hours: Mon. s Wed. 8:30-3:30 Tues. & Thurs. 9:30-4:30 Fri. 8:00-2:30' sat. 8:00-1 :30 People Helping People For Life and laser poinlers finally kicked out. And that didn't happen until the last third of the flick. And then there was the time I watched Scream at Cinema 5. AIl during that movie, there was a lot of talking. The worst part of it all was when Henry Winkler appeared in it. As a lot of people know, he played Fonzie on Happy Days. Everybody in the theater knew that. Unfortunately most of the audience couldn't keep it to themselves. This went on for about five minutes before I finally shouted out, "All right, we know he's Fonzie! Now shut up about it!" Even then, there were three girls behind me who kept talking. I was tempted to throw my soda at them but I thought better of it. 2. LITTLE KIDS WHO DON'T KNOW ANY BETTER-I will probably never again see a family flick until I have kids of my own. I made this decision after the experience of seeing the double feature of Mighty Joe Young and A Bug's Life. There was a little kid behind me who couldn't keep quiet until he was taken out of the theater. But when he came back a few minutes later, he kept on talking. This kepthappening all through the double feature. Never again! It's worse when little kids are brought into movies with a PG-13 or R rating. I remember putting my feet on the chair ahead of me while I watching Scream 2 (Okay, so this is bad etiquette. I didn't make noise about it!). The guy across, from me turned to me and said, "00 you mind?" So I put my feet down but I didn't understand what was the complaint. I didn't see anyone in front of me. I thought his coat might have been there so I looked over. I found a four-year-old boy there instead. Why in the hell was he there at an R-rated movie that violence in it? I remember thinking, "That's just great! That kid will probably have nightmares tonight. And if he keeps watching these type of movies and decides to kill people, his parents will probably blame the movies for the way he turned out. And political opportunists like William Bennett and the Christian Coalition will probably use this to call for more censorship!" 3. THE RED LASERS- Some dorks think it's cool to flash these things during the show, even though it pisses everybody off. This happened during The Water Boy and The Rage: Carrie 2. At The Rage, somebody behind me said, "Why don't you shove that thing up your ass?" I thought this was a good suggestion. The lasers are rapidly becoming banned because of the frequency of these occurances. This is one law I support whole-heartedly! People go to the movies because it is fun. It is not fun when some people spoil it. I'll say this right now, if any of these problems occur when Star Wars hits the theaters, there will be a lot of people planning on opening up a can of whoopass on the jerks responsible.

M0 V IE S· MUS Ie· M0 V I ES· MUS Ie· M ( MJIBes' Frienll's Welllling Chris Summy For the last PAB movie of the semester, we have My Best Friend's Wedding. It will be playing at the Union Cinema on April 28 and April 30 at 8 p.m. It will be $1 for UWParkside students and $2 for non-students. At the April 28 showing, the first 19 people will get a free movie poster. The following available posters are: Forces of Nature, two from Amistad, From Dusk Till Dawn, Scream 2, Boogie Nights, Red Corner, Blast From the Past, The Corruptor, The Hi-La Country, Fargo, The Rugrats, James Bond, He Got Game, Meet Joe Black, Practical Magic, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Out of Sight, and As Good As It Gets. In the comedy My Best Friend's .Wedding, julia Roberts plays a single 30-year-old with a best friend (Dermot Mulroney) who she has always had a crush on. They had agreed if they weren't married by the time they hit 30, they would marry each other. So one day, julia's character finds a message on her answering machine from her best friend. It seems he is getting married alright. To a major hotty (Cameron Diaz-her hair is clean this time!)! And this woman is rather nervous about her fiance's friend. She heard a lot of about her but wants her to play an important part in the wedding. While she is the daughter of the owner of the Chicago White Sox, she is rather flaky, there is a hilarious scene of her singing karaoke ... badly! While she can be like jello, she has heard a lot about this woman in her future husband's life and is afraid she will lose him to her. And there is cause for concern. julia's character wants her best friend in the worst possible way. She will do anything to wreck the wedding so she enlists a gay friend (Rupert Everett) to pose as her boyfriend in order to throw the couple off the track. But her phony boyfriend is a realist, convinced that his confused friend is going to make a fool out of herself. His mission, if he chooses to accept it, is to try to prevent humiliation and pain from happening. The CorrulJlor ChrisSurnmy Hong Kong action star Chow Yun- Fat made his American movie debut with The Replacement Killers opposite Mira Sorvino. It had its moments but it was slow and Chow had a problem with his English. In his new movie, The Corruptor, he solves both problems with better English and a more exciting flick. He plays Chen, a detective in the Chinatown part of New York. His job is compromised by his relationship with a gangster (he found he could accomplish more if he worked with him) who is at war with a rival mobster. The gangster is in charge of the Fukinese Dragons, a Chinese gang that extorts pay-offs from businesses. For the ones that don't pay, the people inside get killed. Chen tries his best to stop the damage and gets help from a rookie named Wallace (Mark Wahlberg). Wallace sticks out in Chinatown because he is white and is gung-ho to stop crime. He decided that by going through Chinatown, a gold shield will be inevitable. His life is also troubled by his father, a crooked cop who owes money to gamblers. He get in the same position as Chen's, having to compromi e himself to get things done. So they collide with one another. But the gangster is not a person to deal with. His specialiti are prostitution and gambling, claiming that as long as the demand is good, there will be services. But he also imports people trying to escape repression in China in crowded boats and then expects payments by prostitution. If they refuse, they end up dead. Eventually Ch n and Wallace decide to work out their differences in order to top the gangster. This movie is better than The Replacement Killers because it has more action. There is a great chase scene in which Chen and Wallace pur-me two of the gangster' men all through New York, made more brutal because the bad guy shoot at anything to try to get away (some innocent bystanders are killed as a result). All in all, this is not a movie 10 sleep through. Lite: Murphv and lawrence make great duo Chris Summy The release of this movie contained two question marks: Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. For Eddie, the question was whether or not he could avoid a losing streak similar to the one he suffered through for half a decade (Harlem Nights, Another 48 Hours, Boomerang, The Distinguished Gentleman, Beverly Hills Cop III). After all, the failure of Holy Man could have been the start of something bad. For Marlin, it was whether or not his movie would be in the headlines instead of his personallife. He has had a hit TV show and movie success (Bad Boys, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Nothing to Lose) but he also went through a painful divorce, his Martin co-star suing him for sexual harassment, and a bizarre incident in which he held up traffic with a gun while completely naked. Life answers these question with a positive response for the two stars. They play two New York men who are wrongly found guilty of murder in Mississippi and have to serve a life sentence for it. In 1932, Ray Gibson is a con man and Claude Banks is a straight banker who both owe money to a mobster (Rick james). To payoff' their debt, Ray and Claude, who had never met each other until they both found themselves in a predicament, have to travel to Mississippi to pick up some bootleg liquor. They accidently stumble upon a murder by a racist sheriff and are set up to take the fall. The film mostly lakes place in the prison. After initially taking a 101 of crap from their fellow inmates and the guard (Nick Cassavettes), Ray and Claude fit into the prison population. But they can never accept their sentence because they are innocent. Over the course of sixty years, they try over and over again to break out of jail, only to fail miserably in each attempt. While time passes, Ray and Claude eventually become friends who depend on one another to get through the tough times (and they age convincingly due to the make-up and their voice patterns). However, this movie, although hilarious, contains a major flaw. When viewing this, one might think that prison time would be a lot tougher for Ray and Claude than whal they go through. While I can't imagine it being fun to be confined to one place for the rest of your life, it didn't seem to be hard time at all. Considering that this starts off in the 1930's South, it does lead to a credibility problem. Although they are victims of racism, in reality, they could have had it a lot worse. (While we're at it, the movie poster is also rather uncomfortable to look at because it looks hornophobic.) But in the end, the movie is enjoyable because of two certain people: Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. They are a great team playing off each other's complaints about one another. Hopefully, they will work together again in the future. It would be a crying shame if they didn't. - MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MC Ml BBSI lri11nll's WBlllling ChrisSwnmy For the last PAB movie of the semester, we have My Best Friend's Wedding. It will be playing at the Union Cinema on April 28 and April 30 at 8 p.m. It will be $1 for UWParkside students and $2 for non- tudents. At the April 28 howing, th fir t 19 people will get a fre movi poster. The following available posters are: Forces of Nature, two fr m Amistad, From Dusk Till Dawn, Scream 2, Boogie Nights, Red Corner, Blast From the Past, The Corruptor, The Hi-Lo Country, Fargo, The Rugrats, James Bond, He Got Game, Meet Joe Black, Practical Magic, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, Out of Sight, and As Good As It Gets. In the comedy My Best Friend's Wedding, Julia Roberts plays a single 30-year-old with a best fri nd (Dermot Mulroney) who she has alway had a crush on. They had agreed if they weren't married by the time they hit 30, they would marry ach other. So one day, Julia's character find a message on her answering machin from her best friend. It seems he is getting married alright. To a major hotty (Cameron Diaz-h r hair is cl an this time!)! And this woman is rather n rvous about her fiance' friend. h heard a lot of about her but wants her to play an important part in the w dding. Whil he is th daughter of th own r of th Chicago White Sox, h is rather flaky, there is a hilari us of h r singing kara k ... badly! Whil he can be lik j llo, he ha h ard a lot about this woman in her futur hu - band's life and is afraid h will I him toh r. And there i cau e for concern. Julia' character wants h r t friend in the worst possjb]e way. S will do anything to wreck the wedding so h enlists a gay friend (Rupert Ev r tt) t pose as her boyfriend in order to throw th coup! off the track. But h r phony boyfriend is a realist, c nvinced that his confused fri nd i going t make a fool out of h rself. His mission, if h chooses to accept it, is to try to prevent humiliation and pain from happening. The Corru11tor Lite : Murnhv and Lawrence make great duo Chris Summy The release of this movie contained two question marks: Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence. For Eddie, the question was whether or not he could avoid a losing streak similar to the one he suffered through for half a decade (Harlem Nights, Another 48 Hours, Boomerang, The Distinguished Gentleman, Beverly Hills Cop III). After all, the failure of Holy Man could have been the start of something bad. For Martin, it was whether or not his movie would be in the headlines instead of his personal life. He has had a hit TV show and movie success (Bad Boys, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate, Nothing to Lose) but he also went through a painful divorce, his Martin co-star suing him for sexual harassment, and a bizarre incident in which he held up traffic with a gun while completely naked. Life answers these question with a positive response for the two stars. They play two ew York men who are wrongly found guilty of murder in Mississippi and have to serve a life sentence for it. In 1932, Ray Gibson is a con man and Claude Banks is a straight banker who both owe money to a mobster (Rick James). To pay off their debt, Ray and Claude, who had never met each other until they both found themselves in a predicament, have to travel to Missis ippi to pick up some bootleg liquor. They accident- 1 y stumble upon a murder by a racist sheriff and are set up to take the fall. The film mo tly takes place in the prison. After initially taking a lot of crap from their fellow inmates and the guard ( ick Cassavettes), Ray and Claude fit into the pri n population. But they can never ace pt their sentence becau th y ar innocent. Over the course of ixty years, th y try over and over again to break out of jail, only to fail mi rably in each att mpt. Whil time pas es, Ray and Claude e entually b come friend who d p nd on one another to get through the tough times (and they age convincingly due to the make-up and their voice patterns). However, this movie, although hilarious, contains a major flaw. When viewing this, one might think that prison time would be a lot tougher for Ray and Claude than what they go through. Whil I can't imagine it being fun to be confin d to one plac for the r t of your 1H , it didn't seem to be hard time at all. Considering that this star - off in the 1930' South, it does lead to a credibility problem. Alth ugh th y are victims of racism, in reality, they could have had it a lot wor . (Whil we're at it, the movi po t r i also rather uncomf rtabl to I k at beca it I homoph bic.) But in th end, th mo i is nj able b cau of two c rtain p ople: Eddi Murph and Martin Lawrence. Th y are a great team playing off each ther's complaints about on anoth r. Hop fully, they will work togeth r again in the future. It would be a crying shame if they didn't. ·politics 01 dysfunction 1•••• 23.llrIl22.1999 11 ':.:1:. , j Vito Tribuzio I'm writing this political commentary to inform the naive, to shield the vulnerable, to influence the future leaders of our country, to educate the people who have just graduated from nose mining to lint picking. As for people my age or older, Ican only suggest that you put this paper down and go about your hunting and gathering, tor nothing in this story can possibly interest you. Remember the mastodon hunt? Those were the good days, eh? Now pay attention, children, for the fate of our country depends on you. Several weeks ago, upon hearing that Elizabeth Dole was thinking about nmning in the upcoming presidential election, Idecided to run against her. I was planning on becoming the first ~ I Italian-American American president, r but today I found that a clause in the American Constitution bars me from ever running for the presidency of the United States. It is a sad, sad fact, but I must accept its truth with dignity: I don't have what it takes to be an American president. No, there's nothing physically wrong with me, only that American presidents must be American-born citizens, and Ihappen to be a naturalized paesano. So, why should my problems be of any interest to you, my fellow n n ! Americans? Well, as you all know, Italian-Americans are very passive about sexual concerns, and since the last Washington scandal involved sex, I thought that, perhaps, I might have been able to straighten things out in the Oval Office. My hope was to bring back the good old days of politics-- the time when political statements made by presidential hopefuls meant something more than just sexually charged whatnots, the time when a saying such as "Make my day!" was not a presidential request; the time when statements such as "speak softly and carry a big stick" and "I cannot tell a lie" were not inspired by the id, the time when presidential runs were not three-legged races-but I can't because I'm a naturalized paesano. And that is why I want you to do it for me. What do I have against Elizabeth Dole? Nothing, absolutely nothing. fact, I think that a president of the female sort might just be what this country needs right now. No, I have nothing against Aunt Elizabeth; it's Uncle Bob I'm worried about. As you all know, shortly after a cancerous growth was removed from a certain area, Bob (Flagpole) Dole gleefully announced that he was experimenting with a "wonderful drug," a papa's little helper that had Every WEDNESDAY LADIES NIGHT Ladies drink FREEl!

New YOI'k DJ been developed specifically for Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones but that, regrettably, had to be used on others because doctors discovered that the drug wouldn't work unless the user had at least one pint of blood. Bob Dole's announcement prompted his wife to consider a run for the presidency, and that smells fishy to me. Coincidence, you say? I don't think so. It's a right wing conspiracy to do away with Keith Richards. I should've known that something was up when Bob Dole changed his slogan from "I just can't win" to "I can't get no satisfaction," but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. Only recently I've discovered that Dole is being paid millions to promote Viagra, a product which, if used mproperly, is likely to create a stronger strain of the Slick Willy virus. Now, we all know what happened the last time this virus spread through the White House, right? And how many of you know how much we spent on trying to develop a vaccine for it? My guess is that we spent about a billion of taxpayers' dollars, but that's beside the point. The point is that we could've used that !poney to develop a pill for Keith Richards.

The trees, shrubs, and terrain changes located in and around the fairways provide challenging obstacles for the golfer. Finally, the " putt" lands in the basket and the hole is completed. Disc golf shares the same joys and frustrations of traditional golf, whether it's sinking a long putt or hitting a tree halfway down the fairway. There are a few differences. Disc golf rarely requires greens fee, you probably won't need to rent a cart, and you never get stuck with a bad tee time. Who plays disc golf? Disc golf can be played from school age to old age, making it a great lifetime fitness sport. Specially-abled and disabled participate, giving them the opportunity to take part in a mainstream activity. Because disc golf is so easy to learn, no one is excluded.

Disc golf provides upper and lower body conditioning, aerobic exercise, and promotes a combination of physical and mental abilities while presenting very little risk of physical injury. A round of di c golf takes one to two hours, and may be played alone, eliminating the difficulty of scheduling tee times. Disc golf offers year round fitness. It is inexpensive to play. A good disc costs less than $10, and it only takes one for basic play. And, of course, there's the sheer fun of the game, no matter what your age or skiJllevel!

Performances also will be given April 24 and 30 and May 1, at 7:30 p.m., with a matinee on April 29, at 10 a.m. Since its premiere in 1938, "Our Town," which tells the story of pre-World War I America through the eyes of main characters George Gibbs and Emily Webb, has been presented to countless audiences. But director Joel Murray says UW-Parkside audiences can expect a fresh experience. "We're switching the setting from New Hampshire to Wisconsin, people from the community will be part of the cast along with students, and each night's performance will be introduced by a different community or University leader. This is being done to give the play a 'hometown' feel," said Murray. "Plus, we're going to give the audience what we think is a deli- . dous eyeful in our visual interpretation of the play. This is our way of saying there are new things to see, feel, and contemplate." The cast of "Our Town" will feature, Simon Jon Provan as George, and Allison Phillips as Emily. Supporting players include Timothy Bohn, Elizabeth Brouillette, Katie Dane, Rick Ditter, Sam Goeb, Gil Gonzalez, Dan Grzeskowiak, Elizabeth Hurlbut, Brad Kostreva, Jillian La Vinka, Katie Liddicoat, Kathleen Noodwang, Ami Orava, Joseph Piirto, John Prochniak, Carey Runyard, Anne Schassberger, Matthew Schnaare, Danielle Schuster, Steve Sorenson, Jenny Toutant, and Emily Wagner, Area residents who will appear on stage are Ben Adams, Tim Alders, Ran:dy Brown, Bob Dawson, Doug Despin, Jill Geb, Alex Harris, Matthew Harris, Virginia Hartley, Brittany Hedges, Kathrine Jensen, and Mary Leigh Snider. Director Murray calls "Our Town" a funny, beautiful, haunting story that touches on life, love, and our perceptions of eternity. "It deals with all the big subjects," Murray said. "It's about learning to live life fully and to avoid getting caught up in the trivial details of existence and survival." Tickets for "Our Town" are just $6 for students and senior and $8 for the community. For more information, call ext. 2564.

"leaves of Grass" Comes to life Nicole Morano The poetry of Walt Whitman will be brought to life April 15, at 7 p.m. in the Overlook Lounge of the OW-Parkside Library, by Dr. Bruce Noll. Dr. Noll, a published poet himself, currently is a professor at the University of New Mexico, will present his program entitled "Pure Grass." It is a dramatic interpretation of Whitman's "Leaves of Grass." Whitman is considered by many to be our greatest poet, our most American poet, and our most international poet. A world historical figure, Whibnan was the first modem and first post-modem poet. In 35 years of work on his book, Whitman issued nine volumes called "Leaves of Grass." Each was different in content. Dr. Noll brings this poet to life by adopting voices, manner, costume, and by his dramatic rendering. This makes Whitman's poetry come alive. The program generally lasts about an hour. After his performance, Noll responds to questions and comments about Whitman. The performance is sponsored by UW-Parkside Lectures, the Fine Arts Committee, the Department of English, and Friends of the Parkside Library. If you have any questions, contact Don Kumm.ings at ext. 2525 or at ext. 9944. There is no charge for admission.

On Wednesday, March 31, the Parkside Activities Board brought the virtual reality versionof Pac-Man to UW-Parkside. Over 80 students took advantage of Virtuality Pac-Man's three-dimensional maze. Classic, fastpaced, arcade action occurred when players chomped at dots while watching out for the ghosts. The Virtuality Pac-Man game is the '90s version A UW~Parkside student blasts ghosts in the Virtuality Pee-Man game outside Union Square. of the old retro-game with Pac-Man dressed in Oakley sunglasses and Nike shoes. The game consisted of five-minute rounds that two players could play at a time. It was set up outside Union Square. The Special Events team of the Parkside Activities Board sponsored Pac-Man. Erin Jones, team coordinator, said she and her team chose Virtuality Pac- Man because Virtual Reality games have been a hit on our campus before and this is a unique version. "We grew up with Atari and Pac-Man," Erin said. "To be able to step in the game and become him, is like a fantasy come true to some students." Students appeared to agree. All seemed excited that the event was free, and that it took place outside in the summer-like weather. Many students returned to play and to challenge their friends to see who could achieve the higher score. According to Kramer International, Inc., the entertainment company that runs the game on campuses, Virtuality Pac-Man is currently one of the top VR games in the country. It has appeared on college campuses nationwide. ITstudents missed Pac-Man, they will still have the opportunity to take in some more of PAB's events this semester. On April 21, in Union Square, the Nightlife Team sponsors Karaoke from 7 to 9 p.m. On April 23, there's a '60s and '70s dance at Union Square. The novelty team will have another free event on April 28, when they sponsor Blizzard of Bucks, and give UW-Parkside students the chance to win money. "Amistad" will be showing on April 16, and "My Best Friend's Wedding" will show on April 28 and 30. Both be shown in the Union Cinema at 8 p.m. and cost $1 for students.

That means layers of clothing will be vanishing off students, and hiding what a winter of relative inactivity has done to your body won't be so easy. It's a time when students evaluate how they feel about dieting, appearance, and fitness. Body imagegenerated eating disorders are a risk for all studentsfemale and male. That's because when the shorts, tank tops, and snug-fitting T-shirts come out of storage, students start stressing over how they look in those clingy things. Well, Penny Lyter, Wellness Director and Professor of Health and Physical Education of University of Wisconsin-Parkside, has two words of advice for you: "Don't diet!" "Dieting is only an quick fix," Penny emphasized. "A quick fix that doesn't work." Eating disorders, Penny said, develop when there is a "need" to lose weight fast, and when the selfesteem is low due to body appearance. It is important, she added, for students to become aware of the kinds of messages they send to themselves. One way to prevent bad habits is to become more educated about healthy and unhealthy ways of eating and exercising. UW-Parkside provides students with free counseling on health issues.

Mike Determan, a freshman, and Jennifer Quall, a junior, each ra.ised $loo! We are very grateful for their outstanding fundraising efforts! In addition, we appreciate the generosity of Judy Christman of the University Activities Office, and her Catholic Knights service group, for donating $150 to Hunger Cleanup.

On behalf of the Steering Committee, we commend the participation of the following clubs and organizations: Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA), Ranger Hall floors, Student Wisconsin Education Association (Student WEA), Physics class, International Club, and Omega Delta Phi Fraternity. We also value the participation of the countless individuals who signed up. You all make a difference! Team Leaders took on additional responsibilities such as recruiting people to be on their team, reminding people of logistics, and being a spokesperson for their group during the reflection period following the service projects. We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the following Team Leaders: Bill Ager of PASA, Aaron Baternik, Chante Maywald, and Crystal Silkwood of the Parkside Community Outreach Club (PeOC), Trish Carls of Student WEA, Carrie Chavez of the Physics class, Mike Determan of the Habitat for Humanity Club and PeOC, Heidi Henley and Katie Lohre of Ranger Hall, and Alexis Martin of the Ethnic Diversity internship class. Volunteers painted at Salvation Army and Love & Charity Mission; hung drywall at one Habitat site; gutted a second Habitat house; cleared brush and litter from the Victory Garden at Shalom Center in addition to folding laundry; did intense Spring cleaning at Genesis House and SAFEHaven; played games & did craft projects with children at Homeward Bound; and sorted food at Project Emergency. volunteers learned more about each agency's mission and the services they offer and shared this information during the reflection session at lunch, Vince Shafe of the Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA) encouraged students not to just feel good about the service they performed on Saturday, but to realize that people face hunger and homelessness every day of the year and urged people to make a commitment to continue helping the community in the future. Bill Ager of PASA said' that his group was committed to pursuing fundraising efforts to purchase a jungle gym for the children at Shalom Center. The group sees the value in kids of every background, income, and circumstance having the opportunity to play in a safe, fun outdoor greenspace. We commend this group for its spirit on Saturday and-its vision for the future. Other highlights of the day included hearing Tom Berger, Executive Director of Project Emergency which is a food distribution center, give the Kickoff address. Among sharing local statistics of.hunger and homelessness, he told a story about starfish being washed up on a beach and the debate that ensued among tow people about the worthiness of throwing the starfish back into the sea given that so many of them came in with the tide, making it seem impossible to rescue al! of them. The person who diligently tossed starfish one by one back into the sea said "I sure made a difference in the life of that one." May this be a r~der to all who aid causes that have staggering statistics and heart wrenching stories such as people who are hungry and homeless... keep up the work, as each of us can help bring peace and stability to the lives of the individuals we help. We are all needed to play our role in ending poverty. - I 1.... 22.llrIl15.1999 II Alumni: where are they now This Week's Protile: Dr. Susan Cabel Meridith [umisko While many of us were dreaming of the tooth fairy when we were little, Susan Cabel was dreaming of becoming a dentist when she grew up. While our dreams of a tooth being worth a lot of money to the tooth fairy may not have come true, Dr. Cabel's dreams have come true. Cabel has had her solo, family dental practice since 1985 in Kenosha. She first became interested in dentistry as a child. She saw how much her own dentist, the late Dr. Riley, enjoyed his profession that she, too, wanted to be a dentist. UW-Parkside's program further developed her interest. Cabel graduated from UWParkside in 1981 with a bachelor of biological sciences degree. She took a minor in chemistry. While a student she "studied very hard" and volunteered at an area emergency room. Of her UW-Parkside experience, Cabel said, "I felt it prepared me for my graduate studies and gave me a good foundation of knowledge for my life." She later added that her family supports UW-Parkside, and her two younger sisters followed her here and received business degrees. Cabel received her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at Marquette and then opened her own office. She sees an average of eight to ten patients a day. She has evening hours to accommodate the Kenosha residents who work in Chicago and aren't available for any earlier appointments. In case you were wondering, Cabel says her skills are in "diagnosing perio-disease and decay and restoring teeth to a healthy state." Now, I ask you two very important questions: Have you flossed your teeth lately? More importantly, have you been to your dentist lately?

Students are frantically completing last-minute research papers, stressing over impossible arithmetic, and struggling to memorize those important details the night before an exam. Clocks strike a few hours later, forcing the weary from their beds-the only places of peace and sanity. Time to bomb exams within the chamber known as college. This night-before scenario doesn't have to be the case because help is close by. The UW-Parkside Academic Resource Center (PARC), the hero, can save everyone headaches. Tutors can help students with math, music, and writing, among other subjects. "Students [who need help] should not afraid to approach student tutors," said Sirena Cherney, a former 1 Writing Center consultant. "We've had some of the same professors or have been in the same situation. These factors are comforting to tutors." When taught by their peers, students understand course material better, Cherney added. Student tutors have enthusiasm in their subject area, which is usually their major. "Seeing people understand and improve over the semester is wonderful. It's a good feeling to see that you've helped someone. People can write [essays]-they just need to know that they can," said Cherney, who is also an English major. "Sometimes we have to counsel students before tutoring," she continued. "I've had to calm people in tears. Getting out their problems and frustrations clears their minds so they can focus on the work." PARC Coordinator Jaci Haley-Renaud emphasizes the impact of the center's services. "Many students are doing fine, but want to do better. There are tutors available in all levels of all subject areas. Students walk out with answers to their questions and the confidence to try new things. What they learn stays with them. They also have the support of knowing that they can come back," she said.

The structural shell to support the second floor of the building is in the process of being built. A 20 foot ditch has been dug between the Phy-Ed building and the Comm Arts building. This ditch, which was started March 1, connects the Phy-Ed building with the main building. A large pipe will be laid in the ditch, containing hot and cold water lines along with electrical lines. Because this ditch must connect both buildings, a portion of Inner Loop Road will be closed during the process. Between the process of the ditch digging and the laying the pipe, large metal sheets will be laid over the road, enabling cars to drive on it. The road will be closed at some point for a short period of time within the next V\ree months. Signs will be posted to inform drivers of the construction. Linda Draft, Associate Director of Athletics, stated that in October the new locker room will be completed and that construction is scheduled for completion in August of 2000 .

With the mark t doing SO well, clients unrealistically expect it to keep climbing. Walker is also the outgoing 1998 President of the UWParkside Alumni Association Board of Directors. As president, he "tried to represent the alumni association at as many campus events as pos ible" to increase student awareness of the association. Upon graduation, students automatically become members of the association. There are no dues to belong. As the number of members increases, Walker says the association hopes to plan more activities and benefits for alumni. So, as you count your days until you can belong to the alumni association, start saving and investing your money! one-and-a-half years. Her official title is Vice President and Investment Officer. Walker's responsibilities include being portfolio manager handling employee benefit money, and money for individual - from inheritances, proceeds from business sales, and accumulated wealth. She is also the trust company's economist and an equity analyst. Walker has the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation after completing a three-year program for investment professionals. Before arriving at her present job, she owned her own business, a money management firm called "Merit lnvestment Group." Walker uses many skills at ATC including management, people, and analytical skills. She heavily relies on the conomics knowledge she gained at UW-Parkside. Meridith [umisko Do you follow the market? I don't mean the comer market. Do you invest in stocks? Do you even care about the stock market? One UW-Parkside graduate certainly does care. Her name is Sara Walker. Walker graduated from UWParkside in 1981 with bachelor's degrees in both finance and economics. While here she was a member of the accounting club and worked in the business department. Walker says, "I enjoyed the relationships I had with my professors. They enhanced the learning experience because of their accessibility. They seemed to take such an interest in their students." Walker now takes that kind of interest in the market. She has worked at the Associated Trust Company (ATC) in Milwaukee for "Families with children comprise 38% of the homeless population and make up the fastest growing segment of the homeless; "Children account for one-fourth of the homeless population; "On an average night, about onehalf of the homeless population has been homeless for less than three months, and one-quarter for more than three years. UW-Parkside students are well on their way to eliminating hunger and homelessness in their community and around the world. By volunteering for UW-Parkside's first annual Hunger Cleanup on April 10, students and faculty are earning pledges and participating in a three-hour work-athon at a local agency that serves the needs of the hungry and the homeless. At the same time, volunteers will be making n~w friends, bonding with old friends, earning experience and references for resumes, and celebrating the value of life.Work site locations and activities are presently being confirmed.

Work-Study jobs are being expanded to provide students better on- and off-campus employment. These jobs might lead students to a perma nent job in the future. Buck suggest students should consider taking summer school classes. In fact, he stated that "Summer classes minimize the chance from students to borrow money, loans, etc. The financial aid office win be also offenng seminars and workshops for orientation in how to pay for college." There is another way in which to apply for financial aid: the Internet The website www.fastweb.comis the largest free scholarship search.

Maria Espino Comm250 [f you are a UW-Parkside student who needs money for the summer se sion and / or Fall semester -and who doesn't?-now is the time to apply for financial aid. Carl Buck, director of Scholarships and Financial Aid, encourages students to apply early. Time is limited. Filing for summer session began March 22, while filing for the Fall and Spring semesters of 1999/2000 began April 1. Buck said don't wait until the last minute to file because time and money are limited. UW-Parkside has a variety of ways to help students to pay for college. The University can help students finance college in a way won't put you in debt for the rest of your life. What is this magic financing methods? It's call the Work-Study Program. "Through Work-Study, you earn a regular paycheck from student employment, on- or off-campus, as a way of earning money now to reduce your loan debt later," Buck said. Efforts are currently being made by the Financial Aid 11Iebattle over student fees: who will pav lIIe price=- dents to pay for campus groups that are ideological in nature. Steve McLaughlin, the assistant vice chancellor at UW-Parkside, believes that if this decision is upheld it could be detrimental to the students here, and make the business of campus clubs and organizations more complicated. Ryan Gottsacker, President of PAC, is also concerned about the pending Supreme Court decision. "I'm just worried abu t how this could impact the smaller organizations on campus. [f students have a direct say in where their money goes, the smaller groups could be the first to be negatively effected," Ryan said. I Although this decision could directly effect UWParkside, a large portion of the University's students are unaware of this case, As Kate Budzban, a junior at UW' Parkside said, " I didn't even know that we had student j fees that went to pay for clubs." Deanna Dobsen A court battle regarding the use of mandatory student fees could have a great effect on all colleges, including the University of Wisconsin- Uw-Parkside. The case has been appealed all the way to the Supreme Court, where it now awaits a final decision. This particular student fees case was brought by three Christian students from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, who opposed the fact that their mandatory student fees were going to pay for organizations that were ideological in nature. The United States Court of Appeals ruled in August that the university could not force students to pay for organizations that take part in ideological activities. That decision was then appealed to the Supreme Court. [f the Supreme Court upholds the Court of Appeals' decision, it will be unconstitutional for colleges to force stu- 4 1111121.11,111.1 Hunger Cleanup secures work sites •Families with childr n c mpri 38% of the h mel populati n and mak up th fa t t gr wing segment of the horn 1 *Children account for ne-fourth of th homeless population; •on an average night, about onehalf of the homeless population has b en homeless for le s than three months, and on -quarter for mor than three yea.rs.

Vice ChanceJlor William Streeter called the project "A good example of making the best use of all available space and minimizing the amount of new space." Streeter said the work will free areas for student practice and performance, and allow the University to eliminate restrictions on the number of Fine Arts courses that can be taught in Communication Arts. Wisconsin 22nd District State Senator, Building Commission member, and OW-Parkside alumni Robert Wirch called the renovation a good investment in the community and the University. "It's important that the classroom space at UwParkside serves students and that the buildings are attractiv~ to ten and to the community. This renovation accomplishes those goals," Wirch said. ''I've heard people say Uw-Parkside is 'distant' from the community. I think the music and drama programs can act as a bridge betw~n Uw-Parkside and the community, so the buildings there must be functional and attractive.'' Planning for the initial phase of the renovation is expected to be completed by August 2000. If approved, the plans would become reality starting in 2001. I • ISs.121.llrlll.1888 Nursing,.dents glimpse Bigleagues at NIH U you think of it in sports terms, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md., is the medical equivalent of Yankee Stadium or Lambeau Field. It's "The Big Time;" a venue that generates excitement among the people who work-and want to work-there. A group of University of Wisconsin- Uw-Parkside nursing students, led by Dr. Sandra Underwood, recently spent a week at NIH, touring the research facilities and clinic, the Institutes' National Cancer Institute, and the nearby Howard University Hospital and School of Nursing. For senior nursing student Cyndi Salkowski, being a witness to the Institute's cutting edge research made this a memorable trip. "It was really exciting seeing the research being done," Salkowski said. "We saw how they were doing the different experiments, finding the drugs, then taking right into the hospital for clinical trials. They call it 'Bench to Bedside." To senior Debbie Bradley, the research was fascinating as was the chance to examine moral questions , connected with the human side of research. "We discussed and participated in concepts [at NIH] that we've examined only in text books before. Issues related to ethics and informed consent, survivorship and quality of life. We actually saw it being utilized where before we only read about those concepts," she said. Bradley said watching doctors takmg the time to deal one-on-one with patients, and watching patients deal individually with their illness gave her a dearer sense of the tremendous sacrifice involved in medical research. Can Do, Will Do The University of Wisconsin-Uw- Parkside nursing students consider themselves pioneers. The class, which in addition to SaIkowski and Bradley, included Jennifer and Matthew Leininger, Lindsey Deinhammer, Carol Buse, and Susan Klemp, was the first from UW-Parkside to make the NIH journey. And Lindsey Deinhammer said when they arrived, they were pleasantly surprised by their reception. "People at the national level-the National Cancer Institute, the NIH-they took time for us. I mean directors, administrators, scientists, people who do amazing things, took time to introduce themselves to us and say 'Is there anything I can help you with?' We got to participate, to hear their lectures, to visit their clinics, to meet the patients," she said. "These people are on the cover of Newsweek and Time magazines and I met them," added Susan Klemp. "And they were interested in me as someone to talk to and share knowledge with." And although each of the students would probably admit to being initially intimidated by what one called the "pinnacle of perfection in health care delivery," each expressed confidence that, after spending a week there, they could compete for a job at NIH with students from larger schools. "Absolutely!" said Debbie Bradley. "As Dr. Underwood puts it: 'Can do, will do: Never once did I feel that, oh well, I'm not from one of the top eastern schools. I'm not paying $25,000 a year, so I'm not going to be respected. "They actively recruited us," Debbie added. "We all have the forms if we want to apply. We were given the base UW-Parkside NIH "pioneers" are, from left, Jennifer Leininger, Carol Buse, Lindsey Deinhammer, Cyndi Salkowski, Susan Klemp, Debbie Bradley, and Matthew Leininger pay, what you would start at, a little bit about the benefits. 1 m an they were recruiting." Class members credit Dr, Underwood for instilling in them this positive attitude. "Dr. Underwood has been a great mentor," said senior Jennifer Leininger. "She says 'You can do anything you want to do in nursing. You have the skills, you have knowledge, and all you need is the will and all you have to do is get out there and do it: Jennifer went on to say, "I think we understand that you don't have to be in Bethesda, you don't have to be at the national level. Whatever you do in nursing. it's going to make an impact On people's lives and on health care. Our dass and the people in the school of nursing here at Uw-Parkside are here to make a difference. And nursing is the way to do that. And we're very proud to be part of that:' A Whole New Enthusiasm With most of the students who made the NIH trip scheduled to graduate soon, career questions must now be answered. Whether those careers include working at the National Institutes of Health or on a more local level, the students expressed confidence about their place in health care. "We have received a wonderful foundation with our nursing classes," said Carol Buse, "I know sometimes people say 'Why do you want to be a nurse?' And 1 think the experience of going to the National Institutes of Health reaffirmed why I want to be a nurse." "We have a great'program," added Debbie Bradley. "This school is providing me with the right background, and this experience [going to NIH] showed me that this career does work for me." Jennifer Leininger says her confidence in the future sterns in large part from an excellent teacher and mentor. "We owe all this, and all of Our appreciation and gratitude, to Dr. Underwood. Without her this wouldn't have been possible," Jennifer said. "She believe in her students and she believes that we are the future. And she pushes every little dream that you think is so minor and says you can do it" "I have a whole new enthusiasm, a whole new outlook on the career that I chose," said Susan Klemp of the NfrI trip.

With the "Beyond Uw-Parkside" program, led by Multicultural Affairs Director Blake Dye, that may now be possible. "Beyond Uw-Parkside" is the theme of a the university program designed to encourage and promote career exploration, graduate study, and professional development through internship, mentoring, and research opportunities. Graduate study is something the UW-Parkside Multicultural Affairs department is trying to focus on a little bit more. Dye is currently working with graduate schools across the country to increase access to these schools for students here at UWParkside. The program he's coordinating is the Graduate School Fee Waiver. At this time, application fee waivers are being secured at graduate schools for students of color to apply for advanced . study at no costs to them. The main goal Dye plans on getting our students is to have a major selection of graduate schools across the country to choose from. "Right now we have schools in Iowa, Illinois, and North Carolina that have committed to this program," he said. Dye is asking any faculty or staffer at UW-Parkside who have attended graduate school to give him the names of people he could contact at other schools. He will then try to work with them to set this program up with their institution. Students interested in this particular program must be qualified for regular admission first before they can qualify for the program initiatives. For further information on this program, students can contact Dye in the UW-Parkside Multicultural Affairs office located in Wyllie Hall, room D182 next to the bookstore, or you can reach him by phone at 414.595.2731.

It is really 2199 and the world is in terrible shape. The three men who questioned him are "Agents", programs who make sure that their control is never threatened. Neo has been picked up because he is thought to be the Chosen One (the man who will free the world). The big question is whether or not he is the person they think he is. This was a original kick-ass sci-fi movie that you have to pay attention to every detail, otherwise you will be lost.

Chris Summy Last October, Amistad was supposed to be shown at the Union Cinema. Unfortunately there were some unforeseen problems that -caused every showing to be cancelled. As a result, it has been brought back to campus. It will be playing April 14 and April 16 at 8 p.m. in the Union Cinema, $1 for UWP students, $2 for guests. It is sponsored by PAB.. The film revolves around a revolt on the Spanish slave ship Amistad in 1839. The slaves took over the ship and tried to sail back to Africa but were caught and sent to America. The big problem is to decide whether the slaves are Spanish property or whether they should be freed and sent back to Africa. The Supreme Court is going to make the decision. This is a major problem for the eighth president of the United States, Martin Van Buren (Nigel Hawthorne). Next year will be an election year and he would like to be re-elected. But slavery is an important issue at this lime (there are several slave states and there are several free states) and he knows that in order to win, he has to please many people in the slave states. So he does his best to manipulate the legal system. Defending the slaves are a young lawyer (Matthew McConaughey) and his assistant (Morgan Freeman). The lawyer is an idealist who supports -the abolishment of slavery but he knows his case is going to be rather difficult. He is ~wareof Van Buren's political agenda but decides to put up a spirited defense, with the help of the leader of the revolt (Djimon Houson). The main part of the plot revolves the case. In a land that prides itself on equal justice, the slaves find themselves the victims of bureaucracy and a future election. After the case is ruled in their favor, VanBuren orders a new trial. They win a second lime but again the president orders a new trial. All 'seems lost until former president John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins) decides to join their side. The former president makes an impassioned speech before the Court about what America is supposed to be and what it could be if we really tried. 1111121.11,111.1111 11 MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•MOVIES•MUSIC•M< TIIB Matrix: A must see llmistad hits the Union Cinema Chris Summy Ever since Speed, K anu R eves hasn't far d v ry well on the big screen.

As a result, it has been brought baclf to campus. It will be playing April 14 and April 16 at 8 p.m. in the Union Cinema, $1 for UWP students, $2 for guests. It is sponsored by P.A.B .. The film revolves around a revolt on the Spanish slave ship Amistad in 1839. The slaves took over the ship and tried to sail back to Africa but were caught and sent to America. The big problem is to decide whether the slaves are Spanish property or whether they should be freed and sent back to Africa. The Supreme Court is going to make the decision. This is a major problem for the eighth president of the United States, Martin Van Buren (Nigel Hawthorne). Next year will be an election year and he would like to be re-elected. But slavery is an important issue at this time (there are several slave states and there are several free states) and he knows that in order to win, he has to please many people in the slave states. So he does his best to manipulate the legal system. Defending the slaves are a young lawyer (Matthew McConaughey) and his assistant (Morgan Freeman). The lawyer is an idealist who supports the abolishment of slavery but he knows his case is going to be rather diffio.tlt: He is aware of Van Bwen's political agenda but decides to put up a spirited defense, with the help of the leader of the revolt (Djimon Houson). The main part of the plot revolves the case. In a land that prides itself on equal justice, the slaves find themselves the victims of bweaucracy and a future election. After the case is ruled in their favor, Van Buren orders a new trial. They win a second time but again the president orders a new trial. All ·seems lost until former president John Quincy Adams (Anthony Hopkins) decides to join their side. The former president makes an impassioned speech before the Court about what America is supposed to be and what it could be if we really tried.

Stop by, Or call writing papers. At PARe's Writing 595-2044 f r rut ring appointments. Center, a fresh set of eyes catches mistakes that writers may overlook. "Reading papers out loud brings things into focus for them," explained Kathleen Riepe, Development Skills Specialist, "1've seen 25 years worth of papers. I know what is expected of students. Here, they can revise it to make it better. Sometimes they put a lot of pressure on themselves. They're much better writers than they think they are." Students usually need'assistance in generating ideas and writing sufficient content. She advises, "When drafting, don't worry about grammar, only content. Let it sit for a few days, then go back and check the content and grammatical errors." Most students don't know that the PARe's services are free. At some universities, students must pay up to $10 an hour for such tutoring. And the tutors at PARC are friendly and enthusiastic. Though the going sometimes gets rough, they wouldn't do this work if they didn't like it. Jad Haley-Renaud enjoys meeting students and welcomes both good and bad feedback regarding PARe. Comments aid in improving the oenter for the future. "We for the students," she stated. Jad shares five things that students need to succeed: 1) understand the assignment: 2) don't be afraid to ask questions; 3) find your resources; 4) write down what you learned because only you can learn it; and 5) set goals and expectations for yourself.

The event was sponsored by the Career Center, the Advising Center, the College of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business and Technology, and the Office of Associate Vice-Chancellor. "It's important to start planning early," Goldsmith said about career planning. "Explore the options of majors, research what you find interesting, and what the field career has as options." The fair was an opportunity for students to ask questions, explore interests, and meet professors on a one-to-one basis. The networking process for students was built between the relationships with the faculty. UW-Parkside staffer Renee Kirby indicated a student approached her and was "very pleased with the fair." She said the student learned additional information while speak- ing with the Communication depart- ment and was considering a change in major. Faculty members and professors benefited from the fair because it gave them the opportunity to. recruit, encourage, promote, and share information about the depart- ments. Carol Tebben, Political Science professor, was pleased by the turnout. She helped encourage students who were interested in Law to head in the right direction and was able to share new informa- tion to students about the Pre-Law Club.

Featuring Dr. c.L. [unkerrnan, this free program takes place Monday, April 5, at noon in Molinaro 109. Dr. Junkerman is professor emeritus of medicine and assistant direc- tor of the Center for the Study of Bioethics at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He will address the topics of euthanasia and assisted sui- cide, and outline the reasons for the growing attention to this is ue. He also will examine the legal and ethical aspects of assisted suicide, the problems it raises as well as criteria for safeguards to prevent its abuse. Dr. Junkerman is widely known for his lectures, consultations, and appearances before ethics committees on difficult treatment decisions and euthanasia and assisted suicide. With the recent airing of an a sist- ed suicide on the news program "60 Minutes," and the subsequent murder trail of Dr. Jack Kevorkian, this is a topic of current national concern. The Liberal Religious Forum is an ongoing series discus ing issues that impact modern religion. This program is co-sponsored by the Parkside Philosophical Society and the Liberal Religious Forum. HOGBowl Week hits Residence life Students are urged to attend and participate. One of the biggest traditions for on-campus residents at UW- Parkside is the Housing OlympiC Garnes, or HOG Bowl. Every April the event is sponsored by UW-Parkside's Residence Life. University Apartments and the Ranger Hall residents hall battle it out to see who will bring hom~ the bacon. Events during HOG Bowl week include the Tug-of-War, a banner contest, and Jelly Bean Mouth-Stuffing contest. Events vary from year to year, but the competition is still intense: Who will it be this year? Ranger Hall or the University Apartments? With the help of these organizations and their ideas, UW-Parkside is establishing a foundation for traditions. But the best way for them to know what you are interested in having or seeing at UW-Parkside is to contact University Activities and give them your input. After all, UW- Parkside is a place of possibilities and it's your university, too.

Davies explained the greeting is part of everyday life in Nigeria, and instructed them to repeat the greeting. With pleasantries exchanged, Davies said her work- shops students "always take something back home." Today; students would take home two batik creations made using differ- ent methods. The reasons people chose to attend the workshop were as var- ied as the textiles they produced. Some were attending as a require- ment for a sociology or anthropol- ogy class. Some came because a friend invited them, and still oth- ers were art majors interested in meeting the artist and learning batiik. Batik is the process of creating patterns on cloth by applying wax which resists color when the cloth is dyed. After dying, the wax is removed, leaving behind the patterns. However, there are many ways to achieve the effects of batik without using wax. Davies introduced the class to an indigo-dyed cloth made by the Yoruba women of Nigeria called adire which translates into tie and dye. This cloth is made using a variety of resistant dye tech- niques including knotting or tying, folding, or sewing raffia onto the fabric.

On average, 585 pints of blood and blood components are transfused to patients in our area every day. Only about 4 percent of the eligible people donate. On Monday, March 29, the Blood Center will be on campus to collect blood donations from students and staff. This event is sponsored by the Student Health Counseling Center and the Molecular Biology Club, The drive will be held from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. in Union 104-106. For more information or to lock in a time, call the Student Health Counseling Center at 595-2366 prior to the drive. There will be a sign-up table set up on March 22, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m., in Wyllie Hall across from the Library for anyone who wants to sign up. Many of us know someone, or have read about someone who has needed a blood transfusion. Without the kind- ness and generosity of strangers many loved ones would not be alive today. One hour of your time and one pint of your blood can make a difference. To be an eligible blood donor you must be 17, weight at least 110 pounds, and have no prior history of hepatitis or behaviors associated with AIDS. Please donate and help save lives.
