Ranger Exclusive: Interview with NBC Late Night's Conan O'Brien Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Ranger Exclusive: Interview.with NBC Late Night's Conan O'Brien by Ioe Kene Managing Editor During Spring Break, our managing editor, Joe KImel travelled with Parkside'. Theatre Deparhnent to New York City. While there, he interviewed the new host of NBCs Late Night--<:onan O'Brien. The Ranger is pleased to present their conversation in this exclusive interview. -Steven Moore Several weeks before the thealre grou p left for New York, I began calling Conan O'Brien's people to try to arrange this interview, without holding out too much hope for success. Yet after about two dozen back-and- forth phone calls, some as late as the day of the show, I arranged the meeting. Everyone we had the pleasure of dealing with, from the ticket people to the show's creative producer to Conan himself proved to be terrifically accommodating, friendly, and professional. On Wednesday, March 16, 1994, the day of the interview, four members of our group and I arrived at NBC Studios in Rockefeller Center in Manhattan at 4:15 p.m, Late Night usually tapes from about 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. and then is broadcast in our area at 11:35 p.m. on NBC's ChannelS ou t of Chicago or at 12:05 a.m. on Channel 4 in Milwaukee. Upon arrival, we were taken in a special group of "tape reserves" to be seated before the regular crowd. Tape reserves, we found out, were special guests of the show and, when we were seated, We found our seats were masking taped with "Kane" Written across it. We kind of felt like big shots as we were placed in the front row. After a brief explanation of the logistical procedures from the announcer, the band entered. the studio and played two or three songs in a rocking rhythm & blues vein. The band is led by a former member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, drummer Max Weinberg. The remainder of the show's warm- up happened when Conan was introduced. He literally leapt onto the stage, microphone in hand. He ran up into the audience as the band launched into a blistering version of Elvis Presley's "(Hunk 0' Hunk 0') Burnin' Love" with Conan on the vocal. He pulled a woman from the audience into the aisle to dance with her while belting out the song. The audience was clapping along and whooping it up when he waved. his arm. and everything suddenly stopped dead. The audience broke into hysterics as he looked sheepishly at the woman and said, "I'm terribly sorry ... I" m very sorry. This is a talk show ... .1 just heard my name and I sort of lost it..." He ad-Jibbed jokes with the audience for a while then said the show woulc be starting in a few minutes-"Y have to go backstage and put on some underwear." He ran down the aisle and leapt over the guest couch. The band played him off and the show began after that song. Conan O'Brien is, in his own words, "the only Irish-American talk show host-c-on NBC-at this lime of night." A little over six months ago, the 6' 4" host stepped into some mighty big shoes as David Letterman left Late Night and took his show to CBS. O'Brien, unknown to most of America when he took over the reins, was however a heavy- hitter with a diverse background in the world of comedy writing, as he delineates in the conversation below. The show is noted for its wacky, off-beat sense of humor and for booking some of the best cutting-edge alternative rock bands. On the two nights we were there, for instance, the bands were the Lemonheads and Green Day. As O'Brien settles into the job, he has begun to carve ou t his own comic territory and develop a burgeoning following, especially among college students, as evidenced by the fact that CNN Entertainment was there on St. Patrick's Day to interview our Parkside students about the show. That piece will be broadcast on CNN at a later date. After the show, we were brought backstage and we waited ou tside the dressing room for Conan to change. The assistant knocked on the door of his spare IOxIO dressing room and announced us. Conan was just lacing up his shoes as 1 entered. He greeted us wearing a T-shirt and jeans as he offered a seat to me and Tom Newman, who ran the video camera. During the interview after the Wednesday taping, I found Conan to be relaxed, funny, accommodating, completely forthcoming and quite down-to- earth. Kane: First of all, happy St. Patrick's Day, from one Irishman to another. O'Brien: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Kane: Now, to get started, you are a Harvard graduate, right? O'Brien: Yeah, I graduated in 1985. I don't talk about that a lot. (laughs) Kane: Why not? O'Brien: Because I don't think I'm representative of Harvard people. I spent a lot of my lime there doing comedy-more than I should've, more than studying. That's when I started gelling into writing. They had a lrumor magazine called the Lampoon ... Kane: The Hartard Lampoon? O'Brien: Yeah, and I just lived there. That was my life. And I started emceeing concerts at school and things like that. I remember that because I was on the lJimpoon I just started gelling gigs. Kane: Oh, you did stand-up, then? O'Brien: Yeah, I did some stand- up. Y'know, the kind where come out, you tell some jokes and you introduce different singing groups. That's sort of where I got started. Kane: Someone on your staff told us that you got invited to the White House tomorrow. What's that deal? O'Brien: Yeah! Yeah, I'm going .. .1 think the Irish prime minister is in town and Clinton apparently watches the show and likes it. And he though!...! guess he's invited some Irish people just to sit around the White House and fool the Irish prime minister into thinking that Irish people are always hanging around. So... that's a trip ... Kane: (laughs) Yeah, absolutely. O'Brien: I mean, I hope I don't spill something or ....Actually, I started to come down with a cold today and I thought-what if I'm talking to the President and I make him sick. Y'know, I pictured Secret Service people pouncing on me. But I'm looking forward to that....But, that's weird ...it's a strange thing .. .I've never done anything like that. Kane: So you're going down to Washington right after the show? O'Brien: Yeah, after the show tomorrow. We're gonna do the show a little early. Kane: Yeah, we're bringing down abou tIS or 20 people from our university to see you tomorrow ... O'Brien: Oh great! Cool. That's great. Kane: And now that I've been here today and seen how it's done, I can sort of lead the tour .. .I'm an experienced ... O'Brien: (laughs) You can tell 'em, "Ah, I remember the old days .. .I remember how they ueed to do the show." Kane: 24 hours ago ... O'Brien: Right. Kane: Now, on the set , on the continued on next page Max Weinberg makes successful transition from concert hall to television band leader I was also had the opportunity to speak with the leader of the Late Night band, Max Weinberg. After spending about 15 years as the drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, weinberg now leads the jumpin' band for Conan O'Brien. And jumpin' it is. The Max Weinberg Seven is horn dominant and features a saxophone, a trumpet, a trombone, as well as an organ, guitar, bass, and, of course, drums. When I asked him what, in particular, he was trying to do with new band, he replied that they like to "keep it swingin' -not rockin'. That's why we're different from other late night bands." My take is that they have the best of both worlds. The band warmed up the show both nights with a wide variety of outstanding, uptempo rhythm & blues jump tunes; I don't think they know any slow ones. This band really cooks and it features extensive brass soloing. Weinberg himself is friendly and outgoing and his band is a perfect mesh with the cool, late evening time slot. Ranger Rnus · march 31, 1 ggt CONAN, cant. from page 1 back wall, you have a lot of pictures of old comedians ...I'm not exactly sure; you can only see a few of them on television ... O'Brien: We have, I think, Jack Paar, is up there ...old talk show hosts, early broadcasters. We have Ernie Kovacs ... Kane: Yeah, Ernie Kovacs I saw. Did I see Steve Allen up there? O'Brien. Steve Allen's up there. Kane: Now, did you pick those? O'Brien: Yeah, I thought it'd be kind of neat to just put up people from TV. I'm kind of a TV buff, and a lot of the people who work on the show are into TV. [One of the curators of New York's Museum a/Television and Radio Broadcasting confirms this, saying that O'Brien has been a frequenter of the museum.] And we try to play around with 1V and we just thought It'd be kind of funny to hang up these pictures in the background. Kane: I myself see a lot of Steve Allen's influence in the work you do now. Do you find him to be an influence? O'Brien: No, I wasn't aware of Steve Allen, but you're certainly influenced by a bunch of different people. You can't help but be influence by Letterman- who I think was influenced by Steve Allen. I think also I was influenced by SCTV ... Kane: Oh, absolutely. Now you're what-about 30 years old? O'Brien: I'm 30, yeah. Y'know there was some stuff that I grew up with as a kid (gigantic sneeze), and you see some of those elements. I think our show bOITOWS ...Y'know, sometimes you'll see something that' s sort of like Saturday Night Live, and sometimes you'll see something that's kind of like SCTV, and sometimes you'll see elements of couple of years and then I worked on The Simpsons, which of course is very visual. And I think that's what we're trying to bring to the show. Probably It's a lot more visual than it is verbal, a lot of the time. Kane: You think so? O'Brien: Yeah, I think ...it relies on a lot of footage stuff and things like, "Let's take a look at that clip ..." and there's the stuff with the moving lips [refers to a recurring bit that places the still picture of a famous per50n- President Clinton, Jack Nicholson, etc. on a screen and then superimposes a writer's lips onto it, much like the old Clutch Cargo cartoons, so Conan can interview the "person,"] Kane: Yeah, that goes over well, people love that. And a particular favorite of mine is "In the Year 2000." I think that is inspired; that's incredibly funny. O'Brien: Oh, "In the Year 2000." That's funny, that's something that Robert Smigel, who's my creative producer, and I... years ago we did that on a stage show in Chicago. And that's how we ended the show. We were at the Victory Garden Theater ...and it's so weird that we were doing it in this little, tiny theater in Chicago and now we're, doing it on a nationally broadcast show (laughs). Kane: Just listing your career here, you worked for the Harvard Lampoon, then Not Necessarily the News, then Saturday Night Live, then The Simpsons, and now you have your own TV show. I mean, you've been just skyrocketing to the top. Is it overwhelming? O'Brien: Yeah. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. This is what I wanted to do. It happened own thing." I think maybe he thought it was possible that "this guy'll take over and just do my kind of stuff." Kane: He said that you had cut your own niche here and that you're doing high quality humor and doing it consistently. I mean, he gave you a lot of praise and he seemed very sincere. [LeHerman's actual quote was: "(T)he more [watched the show, the more I realized you guys do an incredible amount of comedy ... that is very high level, and the volume and the quality of the stuff just knocks me out, and I think you've done a great job to carve out a wonderful identity for yourselves .... ] O'Brien: That was, I think, the nicest...next to my premiere night, that was the happiest night that I had doing the show. Because a lot of people here work very hard and .. .it's tough, because there's this late night war and if s easy to get lost in the shuffle. And we're on pretty late at night and it' s nice when people say they've been checking it ou t and they see how much detail we put into it and how much work we put into it. Kane: Weill sure. O'Brien: And we try to follow up on things like "krunk" [an invented swear word which can be substituted for ever dirty word you've ever heard-as a noun, an adjective, or a verb, as in "krunkin'''] and and we try to develop little strands and then pick up on them later on. So you get a real rush when fans of the show ...when you get the sense that people are out there ...and they pay attention to the little things and they say, "That little thing is great when you do it." Kane: Well, you must be doing something right-you've got fans like David Letterman and President Clinton ... O'Brien: (laughs) He shouldn't be watching TV! That guy should be working. Kane: Well you have to do something before you go to bed. O'Brien: Right. (laughs) Kane: Have you completely severed your ties with The Simpsons? O'Brien: Yeah, pretty much ... Kane: Because I still see your name on the credits occasionally ... O'Brien: Well my name is still on the show, because the shows that come out now ...it takes a long time for a Simpsons episode to be develaped-c-just the technology of doing it. So the ones that come out now are ones that I actually was in the room working on and contributing jokes to over a year ago. Kane: Oh, so is that what it means to bea producer? ...because you're listed on the credits often as that. O'Brien: Yeah, well I was a supervising producer, and that's a vague term but basically I would write episodes and help other people with their episodes and try to fine tune them. IYs a very collaborative atmosphere. IYs a very creative job. Sometimes people say, -oi, you were a supervising producer- that must mean that you went over the books and made sure there was enough money allocated for paint." And I have to say no, no, that not quite it. Kane: OK, before we get Conan accepts his gift from the University. it that are like Green Acres or something. I believe in mixing all that stuff up and taking from just good, funny TV shows that you liked when you were a kid. Kane: Exactly. And a lot of that 1V influence maybe comes for the work that you did on The Simpsons ... ? O'Brien: Yeah. Well, I worked for a bunch ·ofTV shows. I worked for Not Necessarily the News, which was a cable show and a very visual show. And that was actually good training because it was a show that used footage in a way that was very silly. And it was a very visual show. My job there-I used to try to think of a lot of sight gags and that was good training in visual comedy. And I worked then at Saturday Night Live for a earlier than I thought it would it would happen. Certainly, y'kncw, I'm kind of aware that OK, y'know, I've got some rough edges because I'm pretty new at this, but what I hope always comes across and what I think does come across is that we really believe in what we're doing here and we don't have an attitude about it. We just try things. And I think it was really nice when David Letterman came on the show and he just...he was very sincere, because he was talking to us before the show too, and I wasn't sure he was going to say anything on the air about it, and I was happy when he did. But there's a guy who really appreciated us ...He's checked out the show and he said, y'know, "you guys are really doing your Conan poses moments before his trip to the White House. Pictured clockwise are: Joe Kane, Conan O'Brien, Heather Schmitz, Jessica Perugini. wrapped up here, I brought these sweatshirts from the University. O'Brien: Oh, cool! Oh, great! That' s terrific. Kane: We brought one for you, and one for Andy [Richter, Conan's sidekick], and one for Max Weinberg [Late Night's band leader]. O'Brien: Oh, that's great! Let's get a shot of this, here. [Here Conan psused for a picture holding up the Parkside sweatshirt] That's really nice. Thank you very much. Kane: Well, it's a gift from the University and from us, so... if you can pass' em along to the guys ... O'Brien: That' s great...and this is fabric that breathes, too. I'll certainly do that. Did you have a preference about which one Andy gets, or Max? Kane: Doesn't matter, doesn't matter ...whatever you guys like ... O'Brien: Because I wouldn't want to insult anyone ... Kane: No, not at all. And thank you for your time. O'Brien: That's great. Listen, thank you very much. I'm sorry ... they've got me slated to do a million things bu t it was nice to talk to you and ... Kane: Y'know, if you, uhf need someone to tag along to the White House ...I'd be happy to... O'Brien: (laughs) Actually, [need two guys (laughs) ... But y'know, if s nice to talk to you and if s really nice to meet with people who appreciate what we're doing ...y'know, it's cool, it's upIifting. Kane: Well, no problem. We like your show-and we think you're smart and funny-and just keep doing what you're doing. O'Brien: Alright, we will. Thank you very much. It was good to see you ...and happy St. Patrick's Day! I , l • ( I The next night, most of the rest of our theatre grou p attended the St. Patrick's Day edition of the show-in part, featuring a band of abou t 20 ventriloquists singing old Irish folksongs-the Irish Ventriloquist Dummy Choir. Many of the students were seen on camera in the audience. After the taping we were escorted, along with four students from Villa Nova, backstage to the green room to wait for the arrival of CNN's Jill Brooke. While waiting, we helped ourselves to the refreshments. Unexpectedly, Conan swept into the room in full tuxedo, graciously posing for pictures and signing autographs moments before he was taken by helicopter to New York's La Guardia airport for his flight to the White House. At least one of our female students contemplated asking him if he needed a date for the evening. When Brooke arrived with her camera crew, we were reseated in the studio as she interviewed us about the growing national support among college students for Conan and the show. It was, perhaps, our less than 15 minutes of fame, but we enjoyed the brief spotlight. And it gave the actors in our group a chance to ply their wares on national television. After our interview, we split up to enjoy exciting Manhattan in a dozen different ways. I!

Exclusive Interview With Skier Extrodinaire, Alberto Tomba Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document MARCH 24, 1994 ISSUE 22 ·Exclusioc~ntcroitll1with~kitr l::xtraordineirc, glb£rto 1Comba by Marquita Hynes Feature Writer Vail, CoL-'The man, the myth, the legend," may be a cliche; but, to describeAlberto Tornba, it is highly applicable. If you have even slightly followed alpine ski racing in the past decade, you know the name ''T omba" If you watched the past three Winter Olympics, you are probably familiar with him. He is the masterof slalom racing and he is the 1994 Wotld Cup Champion. How does a small paper like the Ranger News hook up with a big name like Alberto Tomba? This writer has come to the conclusion that he is simply a nice guy. Why do 1 Baythat (yes, I am breaking a journalistic rule and putting myself into the story)? Read on to find out. While UW -Perkeide students were at various locations during spring break, this student taught slciing in Vail,Colorado. I was in Vail from March 15-20, while the World Cup Finals were being held. Recently coming from the Olympics were all the top ski racers: Alberto Tomba, Tommy Moe, Picabo Street, Diann Roffe~Steinrotter I and many more. 'Through a fellow ski instructor, I rux only was told where the Italian superstar was staying, but also that he wouldreturn all phone calls from women. Like many news writers, I alwayshave my trusty tape recorder with me. Rarher than call as a fan (which I am), I was able to call as a teporter. Afrer playing a bit of phone tag, the interview was scheduled. What follows is an account of our COnversation. Accompanying the living legend Was his father. They were to go to dinner mer the interview and ! omba, Sr, would prove to be helpful in a few small translations. Albeno appeared to be approximately six feet tall and somewhere in the vicinity of 190 pounds-a solid, muscular man. In his olive colored pants, stylish sweater, dark hair, and unshaven face he was strikingly attractive, After a warm greeting we got down to "business, II MH: I heard that you skied for over an hour with a children's ski school class at Vail this week and I was requested to let you know that was really appreciated. AT: (smiles rather shyly and nods) MH: I would like to start with some technical questions, but to begin, when did you first get into skiing and then racing-how old were you? AT: (settling into his chair-we were in the mezzanine of the hotel, away from the major influx of people) I am twenty-seven. I start nineteen years ago. My father was a-he loved skiing and he was in school in Switzerland when he was a baby. And we went in Dolomites for summer on the glacier. And in winter {speaks with father in Italian for a brief moment) I start in Cortina I live in Bologna-it is one hour by car, you can see the mountain. MH: As for racing, was this something you felt you just had to o::~ , , Vall DIlly/Tom Horrocks do? AT: (smilesand laughs) For me, every time when I was in sports I like to go first and the others were behind me, in the back; for everything, tennis, everything (smiles and laughs again). :MH: How many wins do you have overall? AT: Victories? Race? MH: Yeah. AT: Thirty-four. And three gold medals, Olympics. Two silvers. MH: Congratulations on your silver in the Olympics this year. AT: (laughs and raises his eyebrows) I was lucky (referring to the three racers who failed to complete the course after him). MH: When and if you ever feel like quitting, what keeps you going? For instance, in '89 I was here when you competed in the World Alpine Ski Championship and you took a slam. What keeps you psyched up, or do you ever feel apprehensive after you've taken a bad fall? AT: (long sigh) Five years ago, before my [present] coach, my orher coach, he left the Italian team. He was great. He [present coach] won four world cups and maybe he (laughs) don't speak so much, but just a little bit is enough for him, [It's] because he live in north Italy, For me, I was born in the ciry. It is different. You lmow? MH: Yes. Yes, Alberto, do you ever ski just for fun on your days off, just go free-skit AT: I need to free-ski this year (laughs). I like to go no gates, no course, MH: You've been very innovative in your ski racing. For instance, I've noticed in your technique that your starting position is much different from the competition's, You have this continual movement in the start, AT: Sometimes, Now I try a new start. Strong. It depends on the . snow conditions, giant or slalom (race). MH: Where did that innovation come from? Is this something you came up with on your own or a combination of you and your coach? Where do you get these ideas from? AT: Oh, maybe. Maybe, the coach, but I win (laughs and smiles). I won. MH: (agreeing) You're the one who did it. AT: (laughs and smiles some more) MH: How would you say that your technique differs from the competition and do you study your competition? AT: On video? MH: Yeah. AT: Yeab. My physical trainer, he is [also] my video man. And in the summer he help me in the race, in the training, in the course. And in the evening we can see everything on the slope (via the videoj-c-ehe top, in the middle, the bottom. And we see where is the mistake. MH: Do you watch your competition too? AT: Yeah. Sometimes, MH: What do you think of the course here, where you'll be racing? AT: Just today I was in the course one hour. It was good, but (laughs) the weather it is kind of bad, [It's like) summer-time. MH: What are your thoughts on btinging the World Alpine SId Championships to Vail in '99? AT: I can come, like tourist (laughs). It's great, after ten years (the World's were held in Vail in '89), The COUIse,there may be a new one, Maybe a new lift, some accommodations, hotels, MIl: Is there really a difference between the top of the line ski equipment-skis, poles, boots, bindings-from the different manufacturers? AT: Yeah, maybe. In the last two years it's changed-the skis, the bindings, new helmets, new gloves. MIl: What are you racing on these days? AT: Rossignol and Look. M.H: How are you tuning your skis for this race on Sunday? AT: Ask my ski man (laughs). MIl: What's your favorite race course? AT: I can't tell you because (smiles). This is a question! In U,S,A, the course is great, in Europe, and Italy. I think so because they know how to prepare the mow, the ice, For me ismuch better, for the other guys too. Bur I can't tell you the (favorite) place. Four or five (laughs). MH: What males you so consistent in your racing? (He and his father look at my pages of questions and look amazed, to which Irespond, 'There's only a few more, I promise," and they both laugh. "She's fast," saysAlberto, with a smile.) AT; No, I can't tell you in English. It's too difficult for me. Sorry, but (stops). MIl: Your English is fine, AT: No. No. MH: How much longer do you see yourself competing at the world level? AT: (laughs) 1 stop afrertomottow (laughs again). MH: You are?! AT: No (laughs). Maybeoneyeat at two {looks at hisfather). My father he say three, One enough, No more, MH: What do you see yourself doing when you retire? AT: Ask him later, he (looks at his father) prepare fat my future. In Japan, Hollywood [maybe 1] make a movie (laughs and smiles). Wow! MH: Now I feel compelled, at ehte point, to aSKyou some of the "fluff" questions, I wasn't going to, bur.; AT: (laughs and mimics the press) "Albeno, what do you think about ... r' MH: This image that you have (as a playboy), is this true! AT: No! It's not true. Crazy question (says something in Italian to his father). MH: Here's one--oh boy-why are you still single? AT: Who like to know (laughs and looks at my note pad)? Me? Smgle? No, I'm married (Straight face). No. I have a girlfriend, but she's busy too and I can see her just two months in one year. MIl: Do you ever ski on a date with your girlfriend? AT: (laughs) Ski? No. Just, we go to the beach. I like to go to a quiet place. (We are momentarily interrupted by an autograph seeker, whom he obliges. Another approaches, but he responds, "I'm busy, sorry.") MH: Do you have bodyguards when you're out and about? AT: No, just myself (laughs and flexes his biceps), MH: Do you hate these kind of questions? AT: No (politely).

Nolan STUDENTS MAKE THE PARKS/DE LOVE CONNECTION Twoof our fellow students at Parkslde, Martha Villalobas and Richard C. Nolan, are engaged and have plans to be married on August 12th, 1995. Richard recallsthe firsttime they ever mel .~ was at a B5U Valentines Daydance two years ago. I saw Martha around campus many ; timesbefore but cou Id never buildup enough courage to ask her out Once we did meet, it wasdefinitely love at first sight. " , Overthe past two years they havefound that they have alot in oommon. They both love Chinese food, watching movies and many other activities. Most ofall,they enjoy each others company no matter what it is they are doing. This past Valentine's Day, Richard proposed to Martha ina very unique way. Seeing as Martha's parents don't speak flu- ent English and Richard can't speakSpanish very well, he decided to make a create a card written in Spanish, asking Martha's parents, who are very special to him, for their blessings. Martha had no idea the card said thisbecause Rlchard told her the cardwas a joke and asked her to playalong. When Richard gave the card to Martha's parents, he handed a bottle of bubbles to Martha and told her to blow them while her parents were "'adlng because it was part of the joke. Not knowing what was about to happen she played I along. just as her father finished "'adlng the card Martha noticed the engagement ring that Richard had attached to the handle of the bubbles. Martha explained what shethought at the moment, "I had no idea he was going to ask meto marry him, so Ithought he Wasjust kidding. Once I real- lzed he was serious, 1was shocked I" When asked what their friends thought about the whole situa- tion/ Richard replied, "Martha is my best friend and is very special to me. Although my friends tease me alot about being engaged, Iknow deep down they "'ally care and are happy for us," The couple has just started to plan the wedding and both agree that it's alot of hard work. "Although we are perfect for each other, the arranging of the wedding has definitely brought about a few arguments." Martha explained with a smile. Besides planning the wedding, Richard and Martha lead very busy lives. Martha plans to grad- uate in May of 1996 with a major in Spanish and a minor in communications. This semester she is carrying thirteen credits and working two jobs. Currently she is working at a doctor's office as a Spanish interpreter for about twenty-one hours a week. She also works in the ARCfor four hours a week. When Martha gets free time outside of school and work, she likes to exercise, go dancing and hang out with her friends. Richard, also carrying thirteen credits, has two more years to go after this year. He has two jobs and works about twenty-two hours a week as a homeless liai- son. He is working for commu- nity impact which is subcontract- ed to Kenosha Unified school district. On Tuesday and Thursday Richard also works at the Shalom Center, which is a center for homeless children. His job here is to do many differ- ent things such as, help the chil- dren with their homework, make sure they get their correct vacci- nations each year and make sure each child is attending school. Richard, like Martha, works in the ARCfor about two hours a week. Outside of school and work, Richard plays semi-pro football for the Racine Raiders, and hopes to someday play for the NFL. When asked who his favorite pro player was he answered, without even thinking, "Definitely Deion Sanders." Although Richard and Martha lead very busy lives, they always find the time for each other, and know that no matter what the future might bring for each of them, they will always be togeth- er. Congratulations, Richard and Martha. Visionary Nature Poetry By Diane Scering A special performance of Walt Whitman's poetry by Eco-Activist poets jeff Poniewaz and Antler inspired those in attendance on march 1st, English Dept. chair, Don Kummings, one of America's foremost experts on "the cosmic bard" arranged the Whitman reading for U.W.P. and appeared delighted with the event Both from Milwaukee, Jeff Poniewaz and Antler (yes, that is his full, legal name) are dedicat- ed to the preservation of Earth in its natural state. "Earth, My Likeness ...The Visionary Nature Poetry of Walt Whitman" was a performance like none other. Imagine a pair of plaid fiannel- clad poets extolling, behind podi- ums, the praises of the "laughing philosoph", intermingled with photographs of Whitman and Mother Earth. For years, Antler has made his living reading poems around America, trying to follow Whitman's invocation of the poet as "itinerant gladness scatterer". Antler's poetry has apperared in over 250 periodi- cals and anthologies Including Earth Prayers: Erotic By Nature: Gay & Lesbian Poetry of our Time: and The lourney Home: Ihe Literature of Wisconsin Through Four Centuries. Jeff Poniewaz (pronounced Poe- nYeah-VAHsh, Polish for "Because") currently teaches "Literature of Ecological vision" a course he devised for U.W.M. His Eco-Activism spans from local urban greenspace struggles to the global rainforest catastro- phe. His collection of Eco- Poems, Dolphin Leaping in the Milky Way, is in its thlrdprlnting, Whitman's main objective in his poetry was to define life as a cycle of Birth, Life, Death and resurrection. His subjects ranged from anti-slavery messages, eroti- cism, women, God as Nature, the procreative urge and other meta- physicai, spiritual and natural ideas. Antler described Whitman's idea of humanity as having a II mys terious kind-of sexy self,..ifonly they would let it out". Whitman encouraged LIV- ING this life before we die-before we become a /o'blade of grass". In the 1950's Jack Kerouac's Qn The Road moved an entire generation to experience nature's open road. Almost 100 years earlier Wlat Whitman's "Song of the Open Road" suggested a sim- ilar solution I Let's Gol The Road is before us You will see I have tried it My own feet have tried it well Be not detained. Letthe paper remain on the desk, unwritten Qur own Professor Kummings was also moved by Whitman's message as he entitled his book of poems The Open Road Trip. Unfortunately, poetry does not draw much of a crow as in years past. Poets such as Robert Frost and Marianne Moore could often be seen on Johnny Carson or other talk shows. Dr. Kummings fears poor attendance to performances such as "Earth, My Likeness" may deter future artists from visiting our campus. Poetry's objective is to provide a sense of universiality. The nature poetry performed by our visiting poets on tuesday exhibited a con- cern for our environment and a hope for our earth. In his poetry tomb ,Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman defines a blade of grass, and seems to be defining our greenspace struggles: /II guess it must be the flag of our disposi- tion/ out of hopeful greenstuff woven". Student Debate Physical Education Expansion Project by Steven ryloore, Editor-in-Chief Throughout this semester, sev- eral administrators and students have continued negotiations with the UW System and the State for construction of a major expan- sion to our PE/Athletics Building. The expansions will put under roof approximately 70,000 square feet of multi-purpose floor space enclosing an indoor track and surrounded by expanded facilities for athletic and intra- mural activity. However, this dream of a possible expansion will not become reality unless students vote in favor of the refer- endum. On March 9-10, students across campus will be voting on whether or not to support a refer- endum which is expected to cost each student an additional $6.00 Ref semester (a grand total of $700,000 from the students). "A 'yes' vote is essential to our abili- ty to move forward with this major addition to the campus," said Interim Chancellor john C. Stockwell. The expansion will cost about $9.25 million. The State, if it approves construction, wiIIrequire that 15% of that amount be raised from "private" sources, or about $1.4 million, Stockwell added. "I am very pleased to note that at least half ($700,000) of that $1.4 million will be raised from volunteer donors in the Racine/Kenosha counties who see the need for this faciIityand the benefits it will bring to the students, to the University's academic and athlet- ic programs, and to the region," he said. According to Stockwell, the current condition of the pE/Athletics Building is far below the standard. -tt's a well main- tained dump. It is simply far below the standard. it was undersized from the very begin- ning and we knew that, and it is time that we had a facility that is up to the standard of our cam- pus," he said. "'Thestudents are going to be proud of this greatly expanded facility. Itwill be a building that we will be extreme- ly proud of." We run the best cross-country in the nation and we shouId have the same for our taclllttes, he added. B.].Brucker and Tracy Pees are two students who represented the student body on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion. /0'1 was very excited about the possible expan- sion. As a student athlete, I know that it is needed. It's also needed for instructional and recreational purposes. Fromthe student athlete perspective, the gym is always crowded," said Tracy Pees, Parkside senior and sports athlete. "We have prac- tices at 9:00 at night and also at 6:00 in the morning. When you get home from practice at mid- night, it's really hard to study. It ruins your day having to practice all of the time. I know I may not be here to see it and to use it. But I know that each student will benefit from it," she said. Pees stated that the current PE facility is not large enough to accommodate the large student body that we have here on cam- pus. IiJhere are not enough hours in the day for everyone to use our facility: she said. Pees plays softball and the team must prac- tice in the wrestling room where the batting cage is located, "We cannot use it when the wrestlers are practicing. We can't use the room an hour before because the wrestlers must have their mat cleaned. The baseball players also use the same mat and so do the cheerleaders during practice. This is a room with mats where these wrestlers are supposed to roll around on. The dirt gets into the mats and into their skin and it is just disgusting," she said. Pees said that the track and field teams are also affected by the current conditions of the PE facility. "I know that the track and field team have to come at 6:00 in the morning to run indoors, especially when it is too cold to run outside. They do this early in the morning so that they do not get hit by things flying oem/on pg2 2 THE 54TH ANNUAL MILWAUKEE SENTINEL SPORTS SHOW AT MECCA CONVENTION CENTER by Ray Sasso Milwaukee, Wis.-The Milwaukee sentinel Sporn Show, while retaining and bringing back some of their traditional attrac- tions, has added a totally new twist to their ten day spectacular. Traditionally, the Milwaukee Sentinei Sporn Show has attract- ed outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. Campers, fishers, hikers, manufacturers, retailers, inven- tors, and experts all share com- mon goals to see and show what's new for the 1994 season. All this takes place at MECCA from Friday, March 11 to Sunday, March 20. For the first time, the Arena will be transformed into the Extreme Sporn Arena. The popu- lar Rock Ciimbing Wall will anchor the area. Indy cars, stock cars, in-line skating, BMX and roller hockey demonstrations, motorcycles, paint ball, jet skis, snowmobiles and powered para- chutes will be just a few of the new things visitors can check out. The MACCA Fund will be raffling off autographed merchan- dise. The Scheer Lumberjack Show of Champions from years ago will be on the GMC Main Stage. Karate shows and dog retrieving will also be featured on the main stage. Competitors returning to the Sporn Show include the Archery Tournament, the Trout Stream, the Hawg Trough, and the Birdhouse/Birdfeeder Competition. The comedy cook- ing team of Mad Dog and Merill will also be there. Nationally renowned artists wi II captivate attendees at the WiIdlife and Sporting Art Gallery. New this year is the "Fishing Hall of Fame" which will feature a portion of the National Freshwater Fishing Hall of Fame from Hayward, Wisconsin. Several ward winning fish will be featured. The Mercury Marine Theatre will be the site of all the semi- nars. Roland Martin, Babe Winkelman, Gary Parsons, Daryl Christensen, Greg Bohn, Joe Bucher, Pete Maina, and the MWC 1993 Champ Team of Gary Gray and BiII Klotzbuecher will talk fishing. jeff Engel and Doug Hoskins will talk turkeys while Bob Kinney will speak about whitetail deer. Nate Vance will discuss elk calling and Pat Ehlers will speak on the art of fly fishing. Manufacturers of rods, reels, and outfitters including getaway vacations will encompass whole sections of the Sentinel Sporn Show. St. Croix rods of Park Falls, Wisconsin, according to jeff Schluter, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, "will be repre- sented by proangler and lecturer Tom Harris of Racine." Jeff von Almer will cover the St. Croix booth as the factory representa- tive. Mirrocralt boats will be repre- sented by boat dealer jatenskv's Sport and Marine of Kenosha. Main Marine and Ski of Racine will also be represented at Milwaukee Sentinel Sporn Show. Tickets for the show are $6.50 for adults, $S.OO in advance and $2.S0 for children and can be purchased at Kohl's Food Store, the MECCA Box Office or in advance by calling the Journal/Sentinel Public Service Bureau at 1-800-876-3320 STUDENTS DECIDE, FROM PG. 1 around during the day." She fur- ther explained that all teams- baseball, softball, basketball teams-all have to practice at night. /I And when the soccer team uses the gym, they use almost all of the space. Parkside also has a big intramural basket- ball program which requires all the basketball courts at once. When this goes on, nothing else can go on. All of these events are just an inconvenience to the students." According to Pecs, a non-ath- iete can also benefit from the new expansion. "The field house, which is the bulk of the addition, is huge---multl-purpose floors and dividers. This space can be used for non-athletic activities such as conventions, car shows, and any extracurricu- lar activities." Tracy Pecs believes that the additional $8.00 a semester, over a twenty year time period, is not a burden for students. "If you think about it $8.00 a semester is not much. A majority of students that attend Parkside, and who live in Kenosha and Racine, will benefit from this new expansion. it wiIIbenefit both communities." B.j. Brucker, the other student on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion, stated that lithe university very much needs a new expansion physical education building. It is simply inadequate for the general students." Brucker was a soccer player during his first years here at Parkside. "And we had to practice in the evenings from 10 till 12 during the off season. just because of the gym is filled with classes, filled with intramural, filled with practices all day-it's just never open. The space is inadequate for the large amount of students here," he said. Brucker stated that during his first years he also noticed that the weight room was not suitable for students. IIWhen I first came here, I discovered that the weight room was terrible. I also noticed that Parks ide did not have a suit- able field house. i went to a high school of 500 students and we had better equipment than Parkside." Brucker further stated that this new athletic building is not only a building for athletes. "The purpose is multi-purpose use that will benefit the entire university as a whole," he added. "When students vote on this ref- erendum, they have to realize that there is no option here. Right now the option is a physi- cal education expansion. That is alii Our building is 2S years old and students have been com- plaining about it for years." Brucker also believes that the additional increase upon students is fair. "The $8.00 is reasonable) For the students who use the building knows the problems. The people who do not use the building should go and see it, and then they wili realize that the $B.OO Is worth it. People who are against the referendum should open their eyes and see how it could benefit them." Brucker maintains that students will vote on the referendum only if PSGA (Parks ide Student Government Association) informs and encourages the students. "PSGA should be telling the stu- dents to vote. Ifthey want a turn out, PSGA needs to try. They watch the average student walk by, who are generally freshman and sophomore students, and let them get away without voting. These students are generally unaware of what is going on campus. "I think that this whole project has come together well, especial- ly the students and community," said William W. Streeter, Assistant Chancellor for Administration and Fiscal Affairs. "Business leaders in Kenosha and Racine have pledge that if stu- dents are wiIIing, they will step forward and do private raising for the expansion ...This speaks high- ly of both the students and both communities." Streeter maintains that our "visibility in the country will be enhanced. The commu- nity will be more drawn to the campus." This new construction will complete fl a part that has been missing for so long, especially a campus of our size. By the time Spring of 1996 comes, it will be 20 years since we have had a new building: he added. Chair of the Physical Education Department, Steve Stephens, said that this project is "fantastic and long overdue. The building is really inadequate since it first opened. It is finally time to build again: Stephens also believes that the additional increase upon students is a reasonable cost. "It is a modest cost for a major improvement for not only the Hate Literature Located in UW-p Library By: Erica L. Sanchez News Editor Recently, a certai n amou nt of hate literature was discovered on the upper levels of the UW- Parkside library, spread about on study tables for anyone to find and read. This is an occurrence that is not unfamiliar to the uni- versity, and although actions have been taken in the past to prevent it, every now and then it starts anew. Dr. John Stockwell, UW- Parkside's Interim Chancellor, stated in a recent interview that "this has happened before, and when it does, we simply collect it and destroy it. Ithink that it is trash, and although people have freedom of speech and the right to say lt, I think that is cowardly to say this without owning up to it. Let these people step forward and argue their point, instead of doing it from some post office box is some faraway city. It is simply pure cowardice coupled with stupidity." Eric Bovee, President of Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA), stated that Physical Education department, but for the entire UW-Parkside campus. It's a unique structure in this area of the space. The amount of good will be accom- plished through this expendi- ture." Stephens maintains there is a misconception among those stu- dents who believe that the new expansion will only benefit ath- letes. "We have approximately 250 athletes on campus, who spend a significant amount of time in the PE building. But dur- ing this academic year, we had over 2,500 students using the facility for credit. And then if you add the intramural students and the students who use our facilities for recreational purpos- es, you will discover that a signif- icant number of students use the physical education center. This is not betng built for just athletes, but for instructional and recre- ational services as well as for general student use," Stephens stated. Stephens also stated that he wants the students to understand the term multi-purpose concur- rent use facility. "It means that we're making every effort to design this so that many activities can go on. Most complaints are from students who want to use the facility for classes, swimming, or recreational activities. We have had to shut down the enti re facility for many games. This new expansion is creating more space for them." Montine R. Gorski, a Parkslde Junior and intern student trainer, stated that "the expansion of the people "have a right to say pretty much anything because of the First Amendment. This does not, however, mean that one should not take responsibility for what they say. The First Amendment was designed so that people could express their beliefs in public which is to be a free mar- ketplace of ideas. The individ- ual(s) distributing these materials are not doi ng this. They don't have the courage to take respon- sibility of their actions and beliefs. They don't have the cou rage to hear opposi ng bel iefs, and learn that their beliefs are wrong." "In closing," noted Bovee, "the people responsible for this material should come for- ward so that we, as an university, can see what kind of people they really are. Is there something to hide?" Action was taken to remove the hate literature from the library, and it is hoped that the discriminatory propaganda will not turn up again. The Ranger News will keep you informed about any new information on this topic. Physical Education building will benefit everyone at UWP. Being such a small campus, the growth is vital, and the health and well- being of the students and staff. From an athlete's perspective, I am excited about the project!" Matt Hetland, a Parkside fresh- man and baseball player, said that he is "extremely excited about the new athletic complex that is to be buill. I feel it will help UWP athletes achieve more in years to come." Roy A. Glass, Parkside fresh- man and soccer player, said "I feel that the new compiex will be a great asset to the school and athletes at Parkside." Christopher Taschner, Parkside freshman student, said Nthe cur- rent facility is old and just needs to be replaced. Athletes here cannot improve themselves as much, and are forced to train off campus. A new faciIity will improve the campus greatly and help benefit the school's enroll- ment, and attract the better ath- letes. The student body should be excited about Parkside's futun physical education complex. W. will all benefit from it." Vice President of the Parkside Student Government Association said that this expansion /lis the most important project ever to be undertaken. It is necessary for the student body to approve a referendum that will be placed on the spring ballot. Ifthe refer- endum is passed, the project will move forward and place Parksid< on the road to advancement" Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

On March 9-10, students acrosscampus will be voting on whether or not to support a refer- endum which is expected to cost each student an additional $B.OO per semester (a grand total of 5700,000 from the students). "A 'yes' vote is essential to our abili- ty tD move forward with this majoraddition to the campus, II said Interim Chancellor john C. Stockwell. The expansion will cost about $9.25 million. The State, If it approves construction, willrequire that 15% of that amount be raised from "private" SOUrces, or about $1.4 million, SIockwell added. "I am very pleased to note that at least half ($700,000) of that $1.4 million will be raised from volunteer donors in the Racin.,;Kenosha COUnties who see the need for this facility and the benefits it Willbring to the students, to the University's academic and athlet- Icprograms, and to the region," he said. According to Stockwell, the current condition of the PElAthletics Building is far below the standard. "It's a well main- tained dump. It is simply far below the standard. ft was Undersized from the very begin- ning and we knew that, and it is time that we had a facility that is up to the standard of our cam- pus," he said.

As a student athlete, I know that it is needed. It's also needed for instructional and recreational purposes. From the student athlete perspective, the gym is always crowded," said Tracy Pees, Parkside senior and sports athlete. "We have prac- tices at 9:00 at night and also at 6:00 in the morning. When you get home from practice at mid- night, it's really hard to study. It ruins your day having to practice ali of the time. I know I may not be here to see it and to use it. But I know that each student wi II benefit from it/' she said. Pees stated that the current PE B.J. BRUCKER facility is not large enough to accommodate the large student body that we have here on cam- pus. «There are not enough hours in the day for everyone to use our facility," she said. Pees plays softball and the team must prac- tice in the wresding room where the batting cage is located. "We cannot use it when the wrestlers are practicing. We can't use the room an hour before because the wrestlers must have their mat cleaned. The baseball players also use the same mat and so do the cheerleaders during practice. This is a room with mats where these wrestlers are supposed to roll around on. The dirt gets into the mats and into their skin and it is just disgusting," she said. TRACY PECS Pecs said that the track and field teams are also affected by the current conditions of the PE faci lity. "I know that the track and field team have to come at 6:00 in the morning to run indoors, especially when it is too cold to run outside. They do this early in the morning so that they do not get hit by things flying around during the day." She fur- ther explained that all teams-> baseball, softbali, basketball teams--all have to practice at night. II And when the soccer team uses the gym, they use almost all of the space. Parkside also has a big intramural basket- ball program which requires all the basketball courts at once. When this goes on, nothing else can go on. All of these events are just an inconvenience to the students." According to Pees, a non-ath- lete can also benefit from the new expansion. "The field house, which is the bulk of the addition, is hug<>-multi-purpose floors and dividers. This space can be used for non-athletic activities such as conventions, car shows, and any extracurricu- lar actlvitles." Tracy Pecs believes that the additional $8.00 a semester, over a twenty year time period, is not a burden for students. "If you think about it $8.00 a semester is not much. A majority of students that attend Parks ide, and who live in Kenosha and Racine, will benefit from this new expansion. It will benefit both communities." B.j. Brucker, the other student on the Steering Committee for the PE/Athletics Building Expansion, stated that "the university very much needs a new expansion physical education building. it is simply inadequate for the general students." Brucker was a soccer player during his first years here continU8d on pg 2 BRIDGETTE JOHNSON BRIDGETTE JOHNSON, MINORITY RECRUITER SPECIALIST by Reynaido Belmares Bridgette is 1993 UW-Parkside graduate and is now worki ng at the University as a Minority Recruiter/Specialist. She has been employed since October, 1993. "To begin working here towards the end of the semester was a challenge, because I only had five days of training and after that I was on my own. The fall semes- ter is the time when the majority of recruiting is done and many counselors were not around. She added, "I had to basically learn a lot on my own. It was not as difficult as Ithought it would be because Iwent to school here and knew a lot of things about the University already. if I was not a graduate of this University, Ithink it would have been much harder to adjust." Bridgette's job is to recruiter minority students from high school. She works in the Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Madison, Illinois and Minnesota areas. UIreally enjoy my job, because I have the opportu nity to work with students/ states johnson, UBybeing a minority and young, I can relate to the many issues the students may come in contact with. I like the traveling part of the job, but one disadvantage the University has is its housing. We are limited to this area to recruit from, because we have no where to put stu- dents from out of the area, once they are accepted, so why recruit far away. I am glad that the University is taking into consider- ation to build more housing; this will give us the opportunity to get students enrolled from other areas and more students from the areas we are dealing with now." At the present time, johnson is a LTE(limited term employee), and the job will be come open sometime in May. Her term will last throughout june. When she took the position she was aware that the job was only limited. The reason being is the previous employee (Terri Greathouse) had quit and moved to Texas. The University had to place someone in the position for the rest of the school year. They did not have time for the search and screen process until the end of the acad- emic school year and Terri was unable to finish the term. "I thought the opportunity would be great and Iwill definitely apply for the position when it comes up, because I really love my job. I like helping others. I want them to know the opportu- nities we do have and to tell them 'do not to let any opportu- nity pass them up', because we have to continue bettering our- selves and education is the best way. 2 / \ COMBA nVES CENTER """Uleuo"', .....f;.fl.OlaIC Fl.rlo.JE.'r ~~Ii) r----- FIELD HOUSE \ , I i I i I I i :1 ~===== NEW RAOUETBALL COURTS ~·~7 <, \ " CIQ.lS",OO""'.l/ \.......,...7/ c..o ... c.e..\~,OI\'/ P..b 1;(. ro.l.JT Lo~~ fLt;:I~ ....... _4=====,U'"'1 -==:..... __ ..J'''"IJ Th:0""r::f - I 8 I I I \ " ~ W - PARKSIDE ROPOSED PHYSICAL EDUCATION FACILITY EXPANSION 's. ~. i ._-- NEW CONSTRUCTION -.:,.. ~ EXISlWQ BULOlNG STUDENTS DECIDE, FROM PG. 1 by Steven Moore, Editor-in-Chlef Throughout this semester, sev- eral administrators and students have continued negotiations with the UW System and the State for construction of a major expan- sion to our PE/Athletics BUilding.

Just because of the gym is filled with classes, filled with intramural, filled with practices all day-irs just never open. The space is inadequate for the large amount of students here," he said. Brucker stated that during his first years he also noticed that the weight room was not suitable for students. 'When I first came here, I discovered that the weight room was terrible. I also noticed that Parkside did not have a suit- able field house. I went to a high school of 500 students and we had better equipment than Parkside." Brucker further stated that this new athletic building is not only a building for athletes. 'The purpose is multi-purpose use that will benefit the entire university as a whole," he added.

United Council: Not What You Think Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document United Council: Not What You Think United Council delegates Dana Larsen and Matt Specht compare notes BOARD OF REGENTS DISCUSS ISSUES OF EDUCATION by Operations Manager Jeffrey Weniger and Editor-in-Chief Steven Moore still emphasize and place quality as our primary goal. Lyall further stated how important it is to pro- vide students with an educational experience in a "timely fashion." Students must also receive rea- sonable access to classes, library resources, student housing, acad- emic advising, counseling, and financial assistance. Her speech discussed ways of increasing enrollment by reach- ing out to more people outside of the community, especially to high school graduates and return- ing adult students. All UW- System universities can increase enrollment provided that the quality of education is not jeop- ardized, she added. Nit we con- tinue this, colleges and institu- tions around the nation will fol- low our lead and example." The Education Committee pro- posed a resolution (Assumptions and Principles For Enrollment Management ill-Planning Toward The Year 2000) addressing the steadily increasing high school students that have reached a his- toric high of 32 percent. A main principle of the resolution stated that "a proportion of projected enrollment demand will be accommodated without addition- al resources only when educa- tional quality is not jeopardized. When faced with a choice between maintaining educational quality within budgetary con- straints or providing access for students, the priority will be on quality." . The resolution also stated that "beginning in 1995, the number of high school graduates is pro- jected to increase steadily to the end of the century and beyond. A third phase of Enrollment Management, planning to the continued on pg 2 On Thursday, February 10, the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin System held the first meeting of the year to discuss several resolutions, policies, and principles which will affect students, professors, and administrators at all UW- branches. UW-Parkside Interim Chancellor John Stockwell, Interim Provost/vice Chancellor Howard Cohen, and student John Stockwell Steven Moore attended the Education Committee which began with comments from the UW-System President Katherine Lyall. She stated how important and crucial it isto involve the students, parents, legislators, chancellors, faculty, and admin- iSlrators alike in "stretching the quality of education beyond the normal realms." With budget and financial con- I straints, Lyall continued, we must by Matthew Specht Assistant Feature Editor Every two years, the student body is presented with a referen- dum on the ballot. In this referen- dum, students decide whether or not to remain members of United Council. If the student body votes to be members, a seventy-five cent membership fee is added to you r semester bill. So what exacdy is United Council? Their latest constitution- al draft defines themselves as a "coalition of student governments whose purpose is representation of the rights and educational issues of UW System students through active involvement at all levels of government" To putthatin English, u.c. makes sure UW students know what's going on in state govern- ment as well as representing us. They meet roughly once a month, and Parkside tries to send seven voti ng delegates every time. Friday evenings, the sepa- rate committees meet Saturday mornings, the General Assembly meets. This weekend, there was an opening in the delegation, and I was fortunate enough to be able to go along. The rest of the dele- gation consisted of Eric Bovee, PSGA President (Presidents' Committee); Deb Cutler, PSGA senator (Executives' Committee); Mike Schaefer, PSGA senator (Academic Affairs Committee); Jennifer Buchholz (Women's Issues Committee); Dana Larsen, PSGA senator (Legislative Affairs Committee); and Mike Bovee (Shared Governance Committee). I admit that at first, I was apprehensive. A senator had given me the distinct impression earlier in the week that UW-P representation was of secondary importance on these trips; the real reason for going along was to get as drunk as possible. Well, my fretting was in vain. Instead of loud, obnoxious par- ties iasting through the night, groups of people gathered in hotel lobbies and corridors while discussing current issues. These students were intent on changing the UW system for the better- people actually cared and got involved. Friday night, i attended the Multicultural Affairs Committee. I was du Iy impressed by the fervor with which statistics were reviewed and decisions were made. Likewise, the General Assembly-although muddied by loads of political mumbo- jumbo-was filled to the rafters with people who jumped into what they were doing with ener- gy and optimism. One thing kept bothering me, though. Does UW-Parkside's stu- dent body know what's going on? Do they even care? The answer appears to be no, but it should be yes. Prepare to be informed. A resolution was just passed to allow for the release of a summa- ry of the resu Its of the students' evaluation of a teacher to the entire student body. These evalu- ations will also be used to influ- ence faculty promotions and salaries. Also passed were three bi lis that are to be sent to Wisconsi n legislation. Assembly Bill 1109 and its companion bill, Senate Bill 500, create a Board of Regents Nominating Council that would recommend 3 to 5 persons to the Governor for vacant Board positions. This bill would help create better representation on the Board of Regents. Instead of the Governor having complete control, he could only choose from this committee's recommen- dations. The last bill, Assembly Bill 33, is one that every student at UW- Parkside should be aware of and support. It is entitled the Undergraduate Tuition Cap Bill. This bill would cap undergradu- ate tuition in the UW system at 33% of instructional cost for in- state students and at 120% for out-of-state students. This is going to help restrain tuition increases and force UW system to bring in funding from other areas. It would also put a burden on the UW system to justify any increases in tuition. Since any increase above 33% would require a change in the law, it would be much more difficult to raise tuition (especially since U.c. has some say in state legis- lation). Obviously, a lot is going on in the United Council. If you feel a need to attend any U.c. delega- tion, feel free to contact PSGA President Eric Bovee or Vice President Bruce Rocco. Also, be su re to keep an eye on the Ranger for future events. It is obvious that you, as a student body, need to keep abreast of legislation-both at the state and campus level. Remember, you do have say so in what goes on. Get out there and VOTEI Read the Ranger I lt's your right and your responsibility. Multicultural Quiz Bowl slated for area students By: Erica L. Sanchez News Editor On February 26, approximately 1SO high and middle school stu- dents wi II come together to take part in the Fourth Annual Multi- cultural Quiz Bowl, which will be held at UW-Parkside from B a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Union. Sponsored by the UW-Parkside PreCollege Program's Cultural Awareness Leadership Council (CALC), the integral questions of the Quiz Bowl will be focusing on the achievements and attain- ments of people of color through- out the arts, education, govern- rnent, business, sports, and sci- ences. CALC is an organization that offers students of color acad- emic support programs and activ- ities throughout the year, and here they are providing several students the opportunity to express their knowledge of facts about individuals of diverse backgrounds and their historical accomplishments in various fields. The schools that will be partic- ipating in the Multi-cultural Quiz Bowl are: from Racine, Case High School, Horlick High School, Walden III High School, Washington Park High School, Gilmore Middle School, Jerstad Middle School, McKinley Middle School, Mitchell Middle School, and Starbuck Middle School; and Kenosha's Bradford High School, Tremper High School, Bullen Junior High School, Lance Junior High School, Lincoln Junior High School, McKinley Junior High School, and Washington Junior High School. "The Quiz Bowl," said lynn Mason, one of the coordinators of the event, "provides students in Racine and Kenosha with a chance to come together on both academic and social levels." Mason, along with Dawn Bradke and Joann Allain, are assistant Support Services supervisors who are coming together to coordi- nate the Quiz Bowl. Trophies and certificates will be bestowed on the winners of the Quiz Bowl, and the students that will be participating in it have been preparing all year with their teachers and UW-Parkside mentors. They will be given the chance to show thei r knowledge and win the contest on February 26, 1994. If you need more infonnation, call the Uw- Parkside School of Education at 595-2569. 2 Regents, continued from pg. 1 year 2000, must therefore take into careful account a broad range of operating assumptions about the future environment for higher education: the probable demand for university services, the expected level and flexibility of funding, the changing compo- sition and needs of the student body, the technological innova- tions and physical plantlimita- tions, and the public expectations for effectiveness and efficiency." Regent Paul Schilling had some skepticism about the resolution; he mentioned that we must be extremely cautious in our efforts to increase enrollment because we may not continue to have enough support for the additional students. "We must have strong commitment from legislators, if we continue to receive more stu- dents," he said. Increasing the numbers of students might have a drastic affect on the quality of education they receive, he added. "There's only so much money that we have ...we must have the money to do it." Senior Vice President Stephen Porch stated that the Board of Regents have demonstrated that if the enrollment increases, quality will not hamper. "If the quality of education goes down/ then we will have to readjust our poli- cies." Another item discussed at the Education Committee meeting was the lateral Review of Teacher Education Programs. The consultants of the Teacher Education Lateral Review, asked the UW System Administration to create a Master Plan for teacher education that "would focus on high priority, mission-related bachelor's and master's programs taking into consideration state and regional needs, supply and demand data, quality, cost effec- tiveness and available resources." The consultants have found that a vast array of programs are common across the UW system. These dupl ication of programs have resulted to an imbalance of supply and demand. Because of this, the University of Wisconsin System Administration and the institutions will respond to these recommendations. Itwas also stated that "by 1995, the Board of Regents will be presented with a Master Plan that encompasses the issues presented by the consul- tants." The Board of Regents also dis- cussed a research report of degrees conferred during the last academic year. The report reveals that "in the last academic year Ouly 1992 to June 1993), University of Wisconsin System institutions conferred 27,661 degrees, the highest number ever." The following and Infor- mation figures are highlights from the yearly report: • At the bachelor's level, the same discipline areas continue to rank among the top three. • Business management & administrative services, educa- tion, and social sciences consti- tuted 44.1 percent of all bache- lor's degrees conferred by UW institutions in 1992-93. • Business management & administrative services ranked as the number one discipline area throughout the 1980's and into the 1990's. Peaking in 198B-89 at 4,304 degrees, it still account- ed for almost 20 percent (4,094) bachelor's degrees awarded in 1992-93. After experiencing rapid growth beginning in 1985- 86, bachelor's degrees in the social sciences surpassed educa- tion degrees for second place in 1990-91, with 2,84B degrees conferred in 1992-93. Education programs produced 2,154 bache- lor's degrees in 1992-93. • One in three master's degrees is in education. • UW System institutions con- ferred 5,109 master's degrees in 1992-93. Approximately one third of all master's level degrees continue to be awarded in edu- cation (1,694), a proportion that has changed very little over time. Ranking second, business man- agement & administrative service (mainly MBA's) peaked in 1964- 85 at 649 and dropped back to 773 degrees by 1992-93. o largest number of doctoral degrees awarded is in engineer- ing. o The two UW System doctoral institutions conferred 771 doctor- al degrees in 1992-93; 676 at UW-Madison and 95 at UW- Mi Iwaukee. Approximately 16.0 percent of all doctoral degnees are in engineering (127). TIed for second was education and life sciences with 95 degrees award- ed in each of these disciplines.

It Iake$ more than a month to rec- ognizethe goals and achieve- me~ of former and present African-American leaders." Steven Moore, Editor-in-Chief of the Ranger Newspaper and a Mark Lewis Parkside Senior, felt that "Black History Month is a wonderful glorious occasion to celebrat~ the lives of African-Americans. We have come a long way, but the fight is not over. We still have people who make judgments based upon skin color. We sin- cerely say we need diversity, but we lack action and initiative. We need to move towards a color-blind society-where all of us can join hands in racial har- mony." Kevin Williams, Sports Editor of the Ranger News and a senior at Parkside, said that "Black History Month is an opportunity to recognize our hardships and struggles of the past It is a time for all of us to look forward to bigger and better triumphs in the future that lies ahead. However, it is really too bad that it is only for one month." Twyla Beets, a Parkside stu- dent said that "Black History Sheila Egerson Month is a time when black Americans are recognized for their outstanding achievements, and to reflect on the history that has brought us thus far." When asked for the meaning of Black History Month, Cassandra Chatman felt that it was "a time to reflect on the past struggles, and a time to let us know that our struggles are not yet over." Desiree N. Franklin, a Parkside student, believed that "the trail- blazers lett behind a burning pur- pose, which has become our pur- pose. During Black History Month, we must express the beauty of the nature of our histo- ry. At this time, it is.the mission of all concerned to spread to every person and beyond the greatness of our heritage and the importance of our history." "Finally," Franklin continued, "Black History Month is not just a time of entertainment to me, but a time of entertainment to the contributions of our great histori- cal achievements." Marcus N. Lewis, Parkside stu- dent, stated that Black History Month "gives me a chance to realize past achievements and CassandrnChatman drawbacks, because through these remembrances you learn more about yourself. It instills in me a sense of pride, and tells me that nothing can keep me down." When asked for her opinion, Daniella Bigham stated that "Black History Month is a time where black people get together and celebrate the historical tri- umphs of our people, and although it only lasts a month, we must make it every day." Some of these perceptions and thoughts have seen the light in other guises. Some of the admin- istrators felt that Black History Month was necessary and con- tributed much to the integration of all achievement into public acknowledgment. But upon deeper inspection, it was far too short a time to celebrate the his- torical achievements and person- al strivings of the African- American people. However/ through all the opinions and ideas, there exists a faith in the ultimate equality of historical acknowledgment. Sometimes it is a faith in cultural interaction, sometimes a faith in social reform, sometimes a hope for the recognition of African- Americans who contributed important things to the country. But whichever it is, the meaning is constantly clear: that one day, all great peo- ple, regardless of race, will be acknowledged and celebrated together in the collective annals of American history. nonreua Bigham Carol Girsh enjoys reading and visiting her friends.

I by Mike Schaefer This article is the second of a three part series covering changes in the methods by which faculty are assessed and evaluated. To be able to con- sider intelligently the current standards and proposed changes, it would be wise to consider first what goes into being a professor. Looking over the mass of notes written during interviews with professors and remember- ing countless impressions received during those inter- views, I don't believe that J have the ability to convey to the reader in the usual journal- istic style what it is that makes a professor. If I were to simply relay to you that '1< amount of time was spent on v" you would miss the enormity of the commitments that professors make. Each interview with a professor was a brief account of an iridividusl's story, every page of notes a blurry snapshot of a professor's life. . In the limited space that Iol- Jaws is an incomplete summa- tion of all of the stories, the notes and the impressions pro- fessors shared in their inter- views with me, , I You have finally completed your thesis, a three or four hun- dred page manuscript if you're in the humanities, or a ten to twenty page report on the results of thousands of hours spent in the lab and at a com- puter. Whatever your area, business, archaeology, biology, who cares, you've done it, you've received your doctorate. And during your graduate stud- ies, when you had those labs or one hundred level courses to teach, you discovered that, "This is what I want to do. I want to teach." So, now you've got your doctorate, applied to several universities, competed with as many as four hundred other applicants and have final- ly been accepted for tenure track at a small university somewhere in Wisconsin. If circumstances permit, you've been able to move into the area, find an apartment and get settled in with a month to spare before your first semester as a university professor begins. During this brief calm before the storm you meet some of the other faculty, familiarize your- 1 II self with the campus, and are possibly assigned a faculty guardian angel, someone who's been around long enough to be able to know, among other things, whe~e to kick the copy machine when it acts up. In interviews before you were hired, you were told how many credit hours you would be expected to carry every sernes- ter,(at your particular school nine are required), and what courses you would be teaching. Now that you're here, you have received or tracked down the materials and various texts required for the course, and for the next couple of weeks before the session begins you study them and develop course syl- labi from them. You relate them to things you might know that aren't covered in the texts, you decide what to keep and what to discard, you jot down ideas for test problems as they come to mind, you wonder if the stu- dents will already know some- thing or not. Holed up in your apartment, you immerse your- self in your work, late into the night. Maybe, however, your cir- cumstances didn't permit you a month long grace period before the beginning of the semester to prepare. Maybe you arrive two days before classes begin and the apartment you had arranged to rent you find rented to some- one else. You commandeer a cot, sleep in your office, shower in the phy ed building and cook Dinty Moore on a hot plate for two weeks because you're so committed to being prepared for the classes you teach you don't have time to look for an apartment. . The f rst few weeks of classes come and go, you find you need two or three hours to pre- pare for every hour of class you teach. At least, you do if you're to feel comfortable with your working knowledge of the material. You might have tried to skimp a few times, gotten up late, whatever,.and felt like the biggest fool as you stammered througb the lecture, lost, not quite remembering what point it was you were trying to make. Anyway, you find ways to make the necessary time available, your schedule settles in, you eventually find a routine. Now it's time to start thinking about your research. You probably had a project in mind long before you were accepted at the university. You might even have had some pro- ject started before you were accepted. Most likely, you were asked more than once what your research plans were before you were hired. What might your research project be? It could be some- thing as fascinating as using theoretical chemistry to map charges on a sphere, isolating a toxin in a plant disease, delving into some mystery of eighteenth century womyn writers, or tracking the social implications of replacing human workers with robots on assembly lines. You don't have to limit yourself to just one project either. You might have four separate pro- jects going, all of them related to your field, each an entity of its own, attention to them decided by whichever one pre- sented an idea while you were in the shower this morning. Whatever your research pro- ject is, its just as important to your career as your teaching ability. Universities are places of discovery, for professors as well as students. The job of a university is not just to dissemi- nate information to 'students, although that may be the pri- mary function. Universities, th rough the research that they help house and support, add to and organize an immense mass of knowledge that never stops growing. So, how you function as a researcher is a big factor in your tenure-track and, some- day, your tenure review. The way you prove the validi- ty of your research is by being published. In magazines, in journals, someday maybe even a book. So as your research progresses, you're able to take various pieces as they present themselves and mold them into something readable. Then you send your product out to edi- tors. And you wait. Who knows? You might get pub- lished, you might not. A paper may be accepted by a journal but you might not see it in print for a year because the editor is waiting until he/she can accrue enough papers relating to a par- ticular topic. So your work sits in a file somewhere. Or you might find your paper in your mailbox some afternoon, returned with a letter stating that your paper "is not what we are looking for at this time. But please feel free to submit other work in the future." This assumes that your research resulted in a paper or two in the first place. You might not have this happen often, burif your research is of a theoretical nature, as is some- times the case in the sciences, you might spend thousands of hours on some piece of work, grind your brain to a nub at the top of you r spi ne on math equations for systems in five dimensions or sub-atomic parti- cles that no one is really sure exist and in the final proof of your equations, no matter how many times you check your work or have other people look at your system, it just doesn't work. Poof. Gone. Although a paper to explain why your idea doesn't work might be valuable in steering someone else away from vourmlstake, still, the great idea you thought you had ...wasn't. So, time marches on. You try to publish at least one paper a year. You read the journals to keep up with what others are doing in your field. Publishers send you three or four text- books to edit or review every year, hoping to convince you to decide to use one as material in one of your classes. You try to attend a few conferences every year, hopefully presenting a paper at each one. If you're "lucky" you might even have the opportunity to chair a ses- sion at one of the conferences. You might find that your area of research is the type of thing a few agencies or businesses or foundations are into, so you write up some grant proposals detailing your work and why the people with the money might find your work valuable . And the one thing that remains constant is that you teach. With all of the other things you are expected to do, your biggest commitment by far is to your students. You have ten or twenty students to advise, some of them brilliant, some of them not so brilliant. Some you sit down in the cof- fee shop with for hours dis- cussing economic theory as it relates to the small entrepre- neur. Other students you might only know by the scrawl of their signature at the top of their assignments and the occa- sional add/drop form. You teach them all. Through the ten ure track review process, through the time you finally make tenure and the years it might take In establish yourself at a unive~i~ you teach, you do researchand you learn. You've learned that being a professor isn't a career you can leave at the office.It accompanies you as you walk out the doors of your schooLIt occupies your mind during you r daily commutes to any- where. It wakes you up inthe middle of the night with a gre~ idea or a new worry. I Most of the people around you are students, eighteen or I nineteen, young, brash and I: bold, occasionally drunk, readyl' to go out and conquer the , world. Occasionally you'll hear) a few students talking about I f being stuck here and how they I can't wait to get out in the I \ world to start their careers. It t makes you wonder if the stu- dents ever consider you as being "stuck here". It makes you wonder how many studem realize that you and the other professors came here. Fromdif· ferent points all over the couo- try you came to this one univer· sity to teach them. You're hanl· Iy "stuck" here. You're herefor a reason. To teach. And after ten or fifteen yea~ when some student wanders into your office and says he/she is from the campus newspaper and is doing a news piece about what professors do, how much time professors spend I doing this, that or the other II thing ...You're somewhat amused and overwhelmed by ( the enormity of the question. all ( course you'll explain as best I ( you can but first you have to explain to the student, "How C can I quantify what goes into I ( my teaching? All of my I research, all of the journals I read, every conversation I have[ with a colleague, all of it is assimilated into what I give my students. When I am asked how much time I spend improving my teaching or keeping up to date on my teaching, . .! do not sit down in my chair and think to myself, 'Now I will think about teaching.' No, every- I thing in my life influences what and how I teach and when IseeI that a student has made a con- nection ...how do I tell you the hours it took to do so?" But you go ahead and try, 'cause that's what you do. I f !

Anyway, you find ways to make the necessary time available, your schedule settles in, you eventually find a routine. Now it's time to start thinking about your research. You probably had a project in mind long before you were accepted at the university. You might even have had some pro- ject started before you were accepted. Most likely, you were asked more than once what your research plans were before you were hired. What might your research project be? It could be some- thing as fascinating as using theoretical chemistry to map charges on a sphere, isolating a toxin in a plant disease, delving into some mystery of eighteenth century womyn writers, or tracking the social implications · of replacing human workers with robots on assembly lines. You don't have to limit yourself to just one project either. You might have four separate pro- jects going, all of them related to your field, each an entity of its own, attention to them decided by whichever one pre- sented an idea while you were in the shower this morning. Whatever your research pro- ject is, its just as important to your career as your teaching ability. Universities are places of discovery, for professors as well as students. The job of a university is not just to dissemi- nate information to students, although that may be the pri - mary function . Universities, through the research that they help house and support, add to and organize an immense mass of knowledge that never stops grow ing . So, how you function as a researcher is a big factor in your tenure-track and, some- day, your tenure review. The way you prove the validi- ty of your research is by being published. In magazines, in journals, someday maybe even a book. So as your research progresses, you're able to take various pieces as they present themselves and mold them into something readable . Then you send your product out to edi- tors. And you wait. Who knows? You might get pub- lished, you might not. A paper may be accepted by a journal but you might not see it in print for a year because the editor is waiting until he/she can accrue enough papers relating to a par- ticular topic. So your work sits in a file somewhere. Or you might find your paper in your mailbox some afternoon, returned with a letter stating that your paper "is not what we are looking for at this time. But please feel free to submit other work in tbe future." This assumes that your research resulted in a paper or two in the first place. You might not have this happen often, but if your research is of a theoretical nature, as is some- times the case in the sciences, you might spend thousands of hours on some piece of work, grind your brain to a nub at the top of your spine on math equations for systems in five dimensions or sub-atomic parti- cles that no one is really sure exist and in the final proof of your equations, no matter how many times you check your work or have other people look at your system, it just doesn't work. Poof. Gone. Although a paper to explain why your idea doesn't work might be valuable in steering someone else away from your mistake, still, the great idea you thought you had ... wasn't. So, time marches on. You try to publish at least one paper a year. You read the journals to keep up with what others are doing in your field . Publishers send you three or four text- books to edit or review every year, hoping to convince you to decide to use one as material in one of your classes. You try to attend a few conferences every year, hopefully presenting a paper at each one. If you're "lucky" you might even have the opportunity to chair a ses- sion at one of the conferences. You might find that your area of research is the type of thing a few agencies or businesses or foundations are into, so you write up some grant proposals detailing your work and why the people with the money might find your work valuable. And the one thing that remains constant is that you teach. With all of the other things you are expected to do, your biggest commitment by far is to your students. You have ten or twenty students to advise, some of them brilliant, some of them not so brilliant. Some you sit down in the cof- fee shop with for hours dis- cussing economic theory as it relates to the small entrepre- neur. Other students you might only know by the scrawl of their signature at the top of their assignments and the occa- sional add/drop form. You teach them all. Through the tenure track review process, through the time you finally make tenure and t~e years it might take to j establish yourself at a universi~ you teach, you do research and you learn. You've learned that being a professor isn't a career I you Ci:ln leave at the office. It accompanies you as you walk out the doors of your school. It occupies your mind during your daily commutes to any- where. It wakes you up in the middle of the night with a great idea or a new worry. \ Most of the people around you are students, eighteen or nineteen, young, brash and bold, occasionally drunk, ready I to go out and conquer the , world. Occasionally you'll hear I a few students talking about being stuck here and how they can't wait to get out in the world to start their careers. It makes you wonder if the stu- dents ever consider you as being "stuck here". It makes you wonder how many students realize that you and the other professors came here. From dif- ferent points all over the coun- try you came to this one univer 1 sity to teach them. You're hard - ly "stuck" here. You're here for a reason. To teach. And after ten or fifteen years when some student wanders into your office and says he/she is from the campus newspaper and is doing a news piece I about what professors do, how much time professors spend doing this, that or the other thing ... You're somewhat amused and overwhelmed by the enormity of the question. Of course you'll explain as best I you can but first you have to explain to the student, "How can I quantify what goes into my teaching? All of my research, all of the journals I read, every conversation I have with a colleague, all of it is assimilated into what I give my students. When I am asked how much time I spend improving my teaching or keeping up to I date on my teaching ... ! do not sit down in my chair and think to myself, 'Now I will think about teaching.' No, every- thing in my life influences what and how I teach and when I see , that a student has made a con- nection ... how do I tell you the hours it took to do so?" But you go ahead and try, 'cause that's what you do. RAnG[R n[W~ lnVITH YOU TO WRIT[ A~ W[ll A~ R[AD. .

A Celebration Of Diversity And Progress Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document A BLACK HISTORY 'MONTH PERSPECTIVE ACELEB~ DIVERSITY AND PROGRESS By:Erica L. Sanchez NewsEditor Thereexists, in order to acknowledge the historical strivingsof a people, a time entitled Black History Month, which occurs during the four weekson Febnuary. Within it lie buried many things, which, , if viewed with patience, show the physical contributions and spiritual triumphs of the African-American people, along with the meaning of what it is to be black now at the dawning of the twenty-fi"t century. The fact that Black History Month existsat all has been reason for celebration, but some believe Ihatit may not be all that it appears to be. Herein are writ- lensome of the Parkside administration and faculty that recently gave their opinions on thefaults and successes of the venerable period called Black History Month. Anthony Brown, director of IheCenter for Educational and Cultural Advancement (CECA,) saidthat "as an African- American in the United States, Black History Month is the remembrance and knowledge that we must be the conscience in America for what is truly equal and unbiased in educa- tion, social reform, and political I affai" ...that the bashing of any race is the same as the bashing ofour race, and we must also I remember to make the stum- bling blocks of our past the stepping stones of our future. I We should not let titles and the perceived marginalityof our racelimit our existence in the World order. We are African- J Americans in the United States, I but we are black throughout the World." When asked about the mean- ing of Black History Month, Larry Turner, CECA coordina- tor, answered that it was " a time for all, not only African- Americans, to gain insight and appreciation for the richness that is our culture. By develop. ing this appreciation, we enable people of all cultures to interact and social ize more effectively." Dr. Howard Cohen, Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost, believed that the acknowledg- ment of African-American his- torical contributions should be continued throughout the year. "The expansion of the history of all people is a good and benefi- cialthing. It is useful to focus of the month of Febnuary in this Mr. Anthony Brown manner, but our goal should be to make the inclusion of black history more than just a one month affair. However, this is a good beginning." Dr. James Kinchen, Associate Professor of Music, stated that lithe observation of African- American history in 1994 can be equated with Dickens' state- ment in 'A Tale of Two Cities:' lilt was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Once I heard that Black History Month was a kind of ghetto, and I believe that there is creedence to that. The original idea for the ghetto was to contain the Jewish people--and because of economics and zoning, they could never get out. It became a handy place to confine ...and a month is a convienent vehicle to contain the black experi- ence. You deal with it now and you are done with it. However, the other side to the ghetto analogy is that np matter how bad it is, there is always someone who calls it home. Where else would you live? If we did not have this month, where else wou Id we have to celebrate all that is good and positive about the black experi- ence? It is really a two-edged sword." "Some people will not even calion you to do things until Black History Month." Kinchen said. "You always have calls then. You are black, but also a professor 1 a doctor, a per- former, whatever. If you have something worth sharing, some- thing worth saying, something worth doing in February, it is worth the same thing at all other times. However," he added, "I do think that it is admirable for the Black History Month Committee to schedule events all year long." Roseann Mason, coordinator of the Writing Center, believed that Black History Month is a "step in the right direction. Also, I think it is wonderful that the Black History Month Committee has incorporated events throughout the year, because black history should be recognized as all history is rec- ognized." Pamela Smith, the director of Student Support Services, stated that "Black History Month calls attention to the contributors ...and it allows us to rightfully acknowledge the things left out of history. It gives us a chance to concen- trate on the positive aspects. Ms. Pamela Smith The ideal would be for us not to need a Black History Month, for if the truth was integrated into American History, we would not need to emphasize separatism from Euro- Americans. I applaud the spot- light for one month, but the challenge is to be integrated into all history." 'While it is appropriate for African-Americans to take pride," Smith continued, "we need to educate the rest of the university and the surrounding community on the contributions of African-Americans. I am not saying that whites should not celebrate their heritage but I am could further interpret the mes- sage "exclusion" sendsto all Americans, but I don't think I need to. Yet, despite many issuesand concerns, there is a great deal to be celebrated." When asked for her opinion, Janet Days, advisor in Student Support Services, said that "although we celebrate Black History in the month of February, I think it isa time to recant the contributions in his- tory of African-Americans, and it is important to realize this all year long. I am glad that the Black History Month Committee is organizing events all year around, because it should not be celebrated in one month. Hopefu Ily, one day there will be common accep~ tance of all people of all walks of life." Perhaps one day there will not be a need for a Black History Month, because the educational systems and society in general will have properly blended the history of all peo- ple equally in our textbooks, for all to read and be proud. We should always remember the words of W.E.B. Dubois, when he wrote "that mind and soul according well, may make one music as before, but vaster." VICTOR LUBASI SITS ATIENTIVELY AS HE PAUSES AND REFLECTS ON BLACK HISTORY MONTH saying that we should celebrate our forefathers and educate other ethnic groups about their contributors. II Vickie Barker, Program Assistant at Student Support Services, said, "as we approach Black History Month each year, my hope restores that many Americans will take this oppor- tunity to learn of the many con- tributions African-Americans 'have made to the stnucturing of this country. Those contribu- tions range from sweat-equity to invention. But, of even greater importance is recogni- tion by all Americans that African-American history is crit- ically significant to the history Vickie Barker of this country, and that thor- ough knowledge of American history is dishonorable without the inclusion of our history. I z ADMINISTRATION ENFORCES NEW COURSE PROGRAM by Erica L. Sanchez News Editor Recently, the Parkside adminis- tration decided to implement a new program that may help the student make long-term decisions about the classes they wili take in semesters to come. Courses would now be listed in the course schedules two years ahead, allowing the students to plan their schedules early, instead of having to wait (or the upcoming semesters to pick courses that mayor may not not be available. Dr. Howard Cohen, Parkside's Interim Vice Chancellor and Provost, expanded on this deci- sion in a recent interview. "Instead of simply giving one semester in the course schedule, say fall of '94, we would give both fall '94 and spring of '95, and fall of '95 and spring of '96. There will be a list of courses, by department, along with the time period of day or evening. "Hopefully," Cohen added, "this will help to inform students about what will be offered currently, along with the future classes. The students will know that we offer what we promised we would." When asked about the new format, Dr. Ben Greenebaum, the Dean of Science and Technology, said "what we are trying to do is help the student. This will tell them what will hap- pen over the semesters to come. However, there is a warning- the plans are subject to change, therefore the schedule is not an iron-clad promise. There are always changes that can occur ...someone quits, a new faculty member arrives. But we are predicting what will happen in the upcoming semesters. Science has regular cycles, because we know that we will offer the core classes the begin- ning courses every year. The course catalogues tell the fre- quency of certain classes, so what we are doing is transferring this information to another loca- tion: the semester catalogues. This action will make the regular information more widely avail- able. Some Parkside professors had doubts about the change. Dr. Alan Shu card, professor of English, said that "I have the sense that I understand the good intentions behind the long range schedule, and it looks like, on the surface, that it would help the students. That is the intent. However, the main problem is that there will be changes, per- haps considerable ones, in what departments can offer when the times comes over a two year period. I hope that students will understand that schedules are subject to change. That being said, one must wonder about the value of the exercise." Overall, the administration, the professors, and the students may benefit from the new schedu Ie program, which will allow every- one to be informed about the upcoming classes in the years to come. Although changes in the curriculum will most likely be unavoidable, it is beneficial to the individual creating his/her course schedu Ie to know what will be offered in their fields in the upcoming years. la-KEY OPERATORS PAR't-TDlE Johnson International, Inc. has L.aediate openings for part- time la-key machineoperators.

To the Editor: Wrth news of an addition to the Comm Arts parking lot circulating again, once again the opportunity to stick It to the students has arisen, and has been taken. The Faculty Senate has supported the recommendation of the Committee on Campus Environment that '1urther planning and work on the expansion of the Cornroonication Arts parking lot be postponed pending a thorough study of the nature of the demand for parking.· Their rationale is that the Racine/Kenosha area is a "severe ozone nonattainment area" claimed to be worse than any area save Los Angeles, and that adding parking spaces would discourage such practices as riding the bus or car pooUng. But is there possibly another, unstated reason? They claim in their resolution that "no information has been forthcoming regarding any systematic study of parking demand, nor of any alternative remedies." If this is so, how then can they make claims about the environmental impact of the expansion? Or how can they then substantiate their claims that ihere has been nQ demonstrated effort to promote car pooling" or that there has been no evidence regarding •efforts to increase ridership" on the local bus systems? Their entire argument against expansion is the negative environmental impact it would have, yet claim they have no information regarding these issues. How can they know the effect the expansion would have when they don't even know what effect our current amount of vehicles causes now? Furthermore, the suggestion originally came from the Committee on Campus Environment, whose job it is to research this stuff. What I see here is a clear case of somebody (or somebodies) not doing their job, and the students paying for it. Come on, the faculty has I plenty of reserved spaces that are empty: at least let us have enough to fulfill the current parking demand by students. Jason A. Beyer To the Editor One week ago I was prepared to speak out against UWS 17 Revised and any other proposal which would infringe upon a right to free speech. Following an unfortunate and tasteless "prank" occurring on April 1st, I now have an understandIng for the rationale behind such legislation. I still have quarrels with any means proposed in i111>lementing such a policy but at least I have an understanding. The real shame is that a policy such as UWS 17 should ever be needed, much less oonceived, in an institution of higher learning. The very nature of this facility irrc>lies intelligence. The unfortunate "prank" I refer to is of oourse the tasteless attempt at delivering pornographic materials to Chancellor Kaplan. Though not directly oovered under UWS 17, such an act of expression is incredibly childish and points directly towards the rationale which creates infringements such as UWS 17. As strongly as I feel with regard to censorship, be it hate-speech, printed material, or any other expression, I cannot condone such utterty mindless actions. I believe I speak for all members of PSGA as well when I say that this behavior will sirrc:,ly not be tolerated. Steven J.

Constructionof the building additionand remodeling of the eXisting building may begin in early1996, according to AssistantChancellor for Administrationand Fiscal Affairs WilliamStreeter. ' Ina copy of the project sum- mary, the general goals read as follows: "to provide needed ~ces for instruction, intercolle- gl~te sports, intramurals, recre- a~on,and special events." Fifteennew spaces and five remodeledspaces are listed on , the MUniversityof Wisconsin ~ 1995-97 Biennium Major ject Request," which Streeter . ntIy made available for view- 'ng to the Ranger. A draft of the proposalshows an estimated cost ~!he project to be $9,358,000. Allbut 15% of this money wouldcome from state govern- ","ntthrough their state building program. The 15% we're requtred to raise locally. By locally,that can mean students, fund raising, through the founda- tiOll-it can mean alumni, it can meangrants. Those areas will be requestedto come up with the 15%,"explained Streeter. When askedif tuition would increase due.to the project, Streeter the '"Phed,"I think irs more along hnes of the 5UFAC I (SegregatedUniversity Fee AllocationCommittee) fee." Streeter continued by saying , thatthe physical education build- I 'ng was originally planned to be twice the size of the existing facility; however budget con- straints forced the down-sizing in 1972. "With the expansion we would truly have a multi-purpose building," he relayed. The multi-purpose building could attract sanctioned track meets, concerts, summer athletic camps, and various other events, according to Steve Stephens, chair of the physical education department. "I want Parkside students to be supportive of this project. A few students look at it as not their concern because they don't work-out, etc., but they don't have to be athletes to gain from this project," said Stephens. He suggested the possibility of conventions, seminars, and exhibits that students could take part in and benefit from. Regarding remodeling plans, Stephens agreed with Streeter in that the present facility "needs a facelift." One of the planned spaces, a combantants room, would help to eliminate the con- flict between "200 plus students in karate sharing space with other programs," he explained. lf the construction does begin in 1996, completion is slated for the following year. At press time, William Streeter was meet- ing with Fischer-Fischer-Theis, Inc., the architectural, engineer- ing, and planning firm that has been working thus far on the pro- ject. The company is from Waukesha, WI. Following stories on the expansion will be covered in upcoming issues of the Ranger. Parkside Takes Steps Against Sexual Assaults by Erica L. Sanchez News Editor This is the first installment of a two-part article on sexual assault and its effects on the UW- Parkside campus. Partone focus- es on adminIstrative opinions and campus-wide improvement, and part two will focus on self-protec- tion and prevention tips. In the past year, UW-Parkside has been faced with an urgent and challenging dilemma: how to stop the recent problematic appraisals of violent sexual crimes on campus grounds. Defying adequate police surveil- lance and creative safe-walk pro- grams, a total of five sexual assaults were reported to University Police, of which three involved an offenderls) that accosted women on the campus area. However, because of the recent surge in sexual crime, sev- eral programs and discussions have been raised and created to help better understand the prob- lem of sexual assault and to put an end to the violence that is ter- rorizing this university. As a result of the frequent sex- ual assaults, a "night walk" was conducted to discover steps that could be taken to ensure the safety of the Parkside campus. This activity resulted in many suggestions that wou Id help pre- vent sexual crimes, such as: a) the addition of exterior lighting on dark campus walkways, b) trimmed or eliminated foliage which might provide convenient hiding places for assailants, and c) added emergency call boxes to university parking lots which give callers instant communication with a university police dispatch- er. It has, however, been said that the awareness that follows-a. sexual invasion is often transient and unfortunately 'short-lived.' Aithough that may be the case on other campuses, it is evidently not so at Parkside. Dr. John C. Stockwell, Parkside's Interim Chancellor, said in a recent interview that "the assaults have been unfortu- nate, but there are two things that we must do. First, we are going ihirllOOllkl\ (mtlri to work on doubling the lighting on the campus grounds. The UW-System will be funding the improvements, and we can be confidant that it will begin in the summer of 1994. Also, U he added, "we must educate each other, and in order to better serve the needs of the campus, I have appointed a Task Force made of staff and students that is chaired by Dr. Francis Kavenik. This cont. on pg. 2 Black History Month Committee Releases New Information February is Black History Month. Each year, Parkside's Black History Month Committee plans events to be enjoyed, rec- ognized and celebrated by all students. This year's committee chair for Black History Month is Rochelle Boyd. The committee also includes the co-chair, Yolanda Jackson and the assis- stant co-chair, Daniella Bigham. The advisor to Black History Month is Karla Farrell. This year's theme is Black History - A Celebration for All Seasons. In order to fulfill this theme, the Black History Month Committee has not oniy planned events during February, but has made the celebration all year around by providing an event each month that recognizes Black History. Upon our return from vacation, the annually scheduled Martin Luther King Commemorative was eliminated by the school. Although this has occurred, the university has not forgotten or put aside his commemorative, but has integrated it into the celebra- tion of Black History Month. Please make a note of the follow- ing updated changes. The Martin Luther King Commemorative has been moved to February 16 in Main Place. The celebration will begin with a replica of one of the many marches he has participated in. The march will begin at 11:45 a.m. in the Union and will pro- ceed to march down to Main Place where the program will begin. Along with the com- memorative, there will also be a ethnic food fair, and a variety of African-American vendors. Black History Month is set and ready to go. Calendars of events are available at the information desk or CECA (WLLCD-182). Here also are a few changes added to Parkside's Black History Month calendar: The Essence Woman and Ebony Man Contest is moved from Friday, Feb. 4 to Friday, February 25, 1994 , 7 p.m. to 12 a.rn.

Dr. King would have been 65 this year. We all must make an assessment of _where we are. We have made progress over the past 30 years, but the pace is insufficient given the time, the opportunities, and the mandates that we have had for decades." Chavis continued, saying UMay 17 will be the 40th anniversary of the Brown (vs. Board of Education) decision, which decided that sepa- rate and unequal schools were unconstitutional. However, it is important to remember that after- ward, Dr. King went to Montgomery, Alabama to desegre- gate I11Ore ... this was a place that outlawed the NAACP, but never outlawed the Ku Klux Klan.

The audience was reminded by Dr. Chavis of the bombings of NAACP offices late year, and that this (as well as other occurrences) was indicative ofthe nation travel- by Erica 1. Sanchez News Editor ing backward in time instead of forward. "My reason for coming," said Chavis, "was to be present at this grand ceremony, and to say that our problem is not coming together, but stay! ng together. You must never let anything. not even assassinations, stop you from mov- ing forward. Our greatest problem is amnesia-we forget too quickly what we went through and some don't want to be reminded. If we tell you how it was, you have no excuse not be involved in the movement." Dr. Chavis went on to explain about several incidents that showed the nation's slow slide backward into the abyss of racism. He discussed a recent scene in Texas, where "armed marshalls had to escort an African-American cou- ple into a housing project under the cover of darkness, for fear of violent reprisals. This did not hap- pen in 1694, not in 1964, but in 1994." He discussed going to los Angeles and talking with the gangs, because everyone was taking about them, but no one attempted to talk to them. "We.. cannot describe, we must prescribe," Chavis said. There were many things that Chavis discussed on th night of January 22 (which just happened to be his 46th birthday), such as inner-city life ("gangs have aspire- tions--but often no chance at life"), Toys for Guns, and children r-every child of God should have opportu- on January 22, the Untied Auto I\'GfI<eIS local 72 (UAW) spon- sored the 14 annual Martin Luther '"' Jr.commemorati~e Program ~lhelr Union hall, which featured _~ dinner and live music in 35 1 "- • , celebration of Dr. Kmg s recent .lIhday on January 17.

Congratulations Professor King - Parkside is very fortunate to have your talent. by Sheila roya Feature Writer sophomore status. However, these credits must have been earned after September 1, 1987. Richard Brown, dean of UW- Parkside's School of Business, said that modifications will be made in course requirements for these degrees, presumably to eliminate any problems of incompatibility of coursework between the two schools. It was also revealed that similar agreements are in the preliminary stages for the School of Science and Technology as well as the School of liberal Arts, by Jill Hertzberg Feature Writer I Congratulations are in order for Parkside's English Professor Julie King. A couple of weeks ago Professor King was awarded an Individual Artist Grant from the Wisconsin Arts Board for her fic- tion writing. Anyone is eligible for this award, and the only require- ment is that the winners somehow present their work to the public. She plans on doing this sometime in the fall with a reading of her story at The Old Book Corner in Racine. Out of approximately 500 entries, her work was recognized along with the other winners - all nationally known professionals. Professor King has been teaching at Parkside for 3 1/2 years. She holds a master's degree in creative writing from the University Texas, El Paso. Before coming to Parkside she taught Introductory and advanced poetry writing in both Greenbay and Oshkosh. Also, she has had numerous poems pub- lished in various literary journals. When asked what she plans on doing with the money, she said that she would like to take some time off this summer to continue working on her fiction writing. It would not be surprising to see her name again someday among those On Friday, January 20, after six , IYDnlhs of negotiations, the University of wlsccnsln-Parkside and Galeway Technical College IinaIlzeel an agreement designed to IIlCR:ase access for area techn ical college students interested in \ *aining an undergraduate busi- nessdegree. this program-to-program agree- Ill!rt will allow current Gateway , !lUdents and graduates who ""'iveel an associate of applied SCience degree in accounting or data processing to complete an undergraduate "'"ness degree it UW-Parkside - .. littleas ~ .... years. r,~ ~5 time frame 'l'O!5ible boca.... stu- dents can trans- ~_~ to fifteen "UMness credits and fifteen gen- traI education "'ellts, which - , ,"uld qualify I..... for The LonCJest)0 Seconds inSouthfrn California T err; L yn Jones In the giant sucking sound creat- ed by the departure of the venera- ble Cabe Kluka and his pearls of wisdom, the Ranger humbly offers an alumni guest piece 'rom humorist Terri Lyn jones (nee: Fortney). As you may recell. Terri held forth in past Rangers under the column "Leissez-Fsire." Terri's taken up residence in sunny, shaky California and faxed us this update from the front as it were. If you've never woken up screaming you should try it some- time. The perfect opportunity hap- pened in Southern California on January 1 7 when a 6.6 earthquake gave the Southland a rude wake-up call. The quake lasted for what I will always remember as the longest 30 seconds of my life. The epicenter was Northridge, California-a city approximately 15 miles away from where I live in Burbank. I moved here shortly after I graduated from UW-Parkside in December 1991. After I arrived in Burbank in April 1992, I have endured hospitallza- tlon, the L.A. riots, floods, fires, and earthquakes. When I lived in Wisconsin, I survived tornadoes, blizzards, and bitter cold. But this earthquake terrified me more than anything. Aftershocks in the mom- ing are not unusual. The Big Bear/landers quakes from June 1992 rocked California months after they happened. That was what I thought I woke up last Monday. The only thing was that the rocking wouldn't stop. I got up and screamed. because the power was out and I couldn't see my hus- band, Ti m. We reached for each other with our fingertips and tried to get to a doorway, the strongest structure in the building. The rock- ing was so loud that we couldn't hear the crashing to the floor, like pictures, books, a television, a computer monitor, We didn't know if we'd trip over anything. Cracks formed in the walls and plaster fell. Our apartment was pitch black. When we opened the door, the city was also. Tim found a flashlight and every- thing that wasn't on the floor there now. We had no phone, electrici- ty, or water. As we felt powerful aftershocks, we searched for a radio. We didn't know if los Angeles was still standing. That was when panic set in. Common sense wasn't in anyone's vocabu- lary. For instance, Tim continuous- ly told me to get clothes on. I thought I was fine in my Bugs Bunny-after all, they covered me and I was warm. I didn't realize that we had to leave and go to his brother's apartment to make sure his family was okay. So after yelling at each other for a few min- utes, I put my clothes on. We weren't angry because the only time a couple should yell at each other is during a disaster. We went down tour car and found plaster all over our car. Our car sits under our apartment building, so poles support half our building. This frightened me more because buildings dose to the epi- center collapsed with parki ng structures like ours. If the quake was any stronger, I'm sure our building would have suffered the same fate.

They also had no power 50 we tried to keep the two boys, aged six and nine, from being afraid. I don't think Tim did a good job. He told his nephew, "You know the only reason we had this quake, don't you? Because you were a bad boy! Just Kiddingl" We'll be paying for his many years of therapy soon. I tried to keep my nephews occupied. I said, "'Hey this reminds me of the 'Star Trek' episode where everyone was trapped and Captain Picard kept those kids in the turbo lift from being afraid by making them sing that French song." So I sang but the kids didn't. If there was power, I would have seen the funny looks they gave me. My brother-In-law, Gary. saw a paper boy still deliver- ing papers minutes after the quake. Cary asked, "Anything about the earthquake in there?" Luckily, we had an earth- quake survival kit of food and water prepared. Not so many peo- ple are that prepared. I cannot stress how important it is to have thls, because when an earthquake happens. it is like and apocalypse. Supermarkets and drugstores were empty of bottled water. flashlights and 0 batteries. There were lines not only inside the grocery stores but outside also because people couldn't get in. When the sun came, we heard that the epicenter was Northridge, where obviously Cal State Northridge is.

Again, Californians start over. "Rebuilding L.A." is now an entry in the Californian's cliche dictionary. But that is exactly wh people do here, and that is what I admire Southern Californians for. It is fortunate that this quake hap- pened at 4:31 a.m. on a holiday, because there would have been more people on the collapsed hij ways. As the freeways get con- structed again, I listen to the mill- , tary helicopters f1ying over our building and still feel the after- shocks. Within the span of writing this article, I have felt at least three aftershocks ranging in the four point range. My mother asked when she can expect me coming back to Wisconsin. I said not •• soon. Because in any part of the I country, you pick your disaster. In instances such as tornadoes and hurricanes, one can prepare. But in an earthquake, one can't. This is the price for living in a beautiful warm and sunny area. We stlII have a lot to thankful for. In our home, the onll thing that was broke was a small lamp - amazing in a quake that moved our refrigerator and stove at, least six inches. An the best news I is that the earthquake halted direc- tor Aaron Spelling's productions. I That means that the sappy dramas r "Beverly Hills 90210" and L "'Melrose Place" won't have any new shows for a while. Darn. This shows that not all disasters, natural or unnatural, are not always tragic. VOLUNTEER English. A parking structure col- lapsed at the school and two build- ings caught on fire. I'm not expect- ing to hear from them soon. I did- n't know if I wanted to attend a school that is sitting atop a fault. Butthen I heard seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones say on "'larry King live" that Souther California sits atop over 300 faults. Every one of these faults must release tension, which results in earthquakes. Okay, that made me feel better. later that week, President Clinton visited Burbank to declare Southern California, again, a disas- ter area. Clinton has been out here so often that he should schedule a trip out here every three months. Then he should set up a blanket for dispersing funds at those times. L.A. Times reported that this quake resulted in about $30 billion worth of damage, making it the most costly naturally disaster in American history. In the 1983 book, Whar You Should Know About Earthquakes, the author Joseph W, Foraker writes that a "catastrophic earthquake" could result in dollar losses of tens of bil- lions of dollars. This earthquake has already cost $30 billion, and the death toll is in the sixties. Having respect for those who have lost their lives, it may not be appropriate to call up some- one in California and ask, "Hey, what's shaktn'r- Until you are in an earthquake, you will never know how It feels.
