OPINION Editorial Press wins phenomenal victory by Sue Stevens should have no access to public records at ail? Before we know it, the Court will also ban half the books in the libraries across the During these times when the press is getting attacked from all sides, any victory a—nation because they contain a bit of information that may publication can win in the courts is phenomenal. In the past few weeks one such security. victory has been won by the Progressive magazine. Yes, the Progressive has won just one victory in the courts for the press If he Last spring, United States Federal Judge Robert Warren denied the Progressive the Government believes that the press shouldn t print in orma ion or e right to print an article about the secret of the hydrogen bomb. Since that denial, general public which it affects, then we would ve ne\er oun ou a ou a erga there has been a constant battle over whether or not the press should be able to print many other cases of corruption. information that may have an effect on our national defense. Does the Court truly feel that certain articles like the one in t e rogressive w ic But just what information is so important to our national defense that it can't be will appear soon) will severely harm our national defense? released to the public it's supposed to be protecting? Here there are definitely two sides of the argument. One argument says that national defense at any cost, is more secure if only a handful of people know the details. This side realizes the delicacy with which some defense situations must be dealt with. One such example of this hush-hush method is the Cuban missile crisis of October 1962. If the general public had known exactly what was going on, what would've happened?As the story goes, J.F.K.'s little secret plan worked and the Soviets backed off. But what if it hadn't worked? The United States and the Soviet Union could very well have started World War III! Then where would the American public be? The secrecy that was to protect them would've possibly ended civilization as we know it today. Do you remember the Pentagon Papers? Now there's one instance where information was classified wrongly. The content of these documents wasn't even all that important, but someone chose to classify them as secret. Why? Who knows. That is just one reason why the press should be allowed to publish information that it feels the public should be aware of. The elements of the hydrogen bomb story are said to be found in open public records. Why then was the press denied the right to publish that information? Was it really the worry that the information would get into the wrong hands that led the judge to push the restraint? I don't think so. I believe that the courts are trying to gain on the press wherever they can. If this wasn't the case, why would the Supreme Court say that they can look into an Editor's mind to find motive when they know they cant accomplish that in criminal courts? I believe that our high court officials are afraid of losing their power in a society that has begun more and more to question authority. Do they really care whether the information contained in the pages of national publications affects our national security? How can they say that the information itself could be a large threat to our defense? A nation like our own that spends so much on defense should know that if information is given to the public bit by bit, sooner or later it will no longer be a secret. The information contained in the Progressive s article on the hydrogen bomb was found in public records. Will the Supreme Court now decide that the public Or do they know something we don't? r ganger RANGER is written and edited by students of U.W.

A member of the scientific team which investigated that question last year will describe some of the scientific detective methods used in the examination at a free public seminar at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside at 2 p.m. on Friday. Oct. 5, in Molinaro Hall Room 105. Sam Pellicori, a Kenosha native, was a member of the group's scientific photography and imaging team, which designed equipment used to study the shroud in an attempt to discover how the image on it was formed. Pellicori will illustrate his talk on the experimental methods used with slides. • The experiments will be the subject of an article in National Geographic next April. The scientific team plans to announce results of its experiments with their interpretations in October. 1980. In addition to photographic and photometric studies, the examination of the shroud included ultraviolet flourescence, X-ray reflectance and transmission, infared emittance. micro-chemical study of fragments, archeology, hemitology and textile and image processing and enhancement of multi-color photos. Pellicori graduated from Bradford High School and then attended the University of Arizona, where he earned his undergraduate degree in physics and a graduate degree in optical sciences. Before joining the Turin team, he was involved in designing optical equipment for space studies at the Lunar and Planetary Lab in Arizona and at the Santa Barbara Research Center in California. Chain letters a big rip-off MADISON — Attorney General Bronson C. La Follette warned Wisconsin college students not to participate in any of the numerous chain letters and pyramid schemes now operating in the State. "All money-making plans which require the payment of a 'qualifying' fee, promise a return larger than the fee. and rely on others to keep the chain going are a f orm of gambling and are illegal lotteries in Wisconsin," La Follette said. The Department of Justice Office of Consumer Protection has received numerous calls from citizens since June inquiring about the legality of these schemes. Recent calls indicate the letters are now hitting the campuses. Many of the letters indicate that the law is not broken if the U.S. mail is not used in the scheme. Some instruction sheets state that the plan was designed or approved by an attorney to insure its legality. La Follette said all such assertions are false. The most popular examples of chain or pyramid plans currently operating are known as the "Circle of Platinum" or the "Circle of Gold." In these schemes, the consumer pays $50 to S1 .(XX) for a Iv-t of Hi*" the fee is P?fid ''t to the seller, the other half goes to the person on top of the list. The buyer crosses the top name out, adds his or her own to the bottom, then duplicates and resells the modified list. The chain then repeats itself. "Many consumers are misled into thinking that every participant in a chain plan will be successful in obtaining a return larger than their initial 'qualifying' fee," La Follette said. "However," he added, "only those whose names appear at the top of the initial lists succeed. Since an ever-increasing number of participants is necessary before new entrants can succeed, the longer a chain scheme continues, the more difficult it becomes for each new entrant to obtain a return. Eventually, the plan must fail, with the result that thousands of entrants further down the chain will lose their entire investment." La Follette said that the attorneys general in Minnesota, Illinois and several other states have filed suit against the chain scheme promoters operating in For more information, contact the Department of JusticevOffice of Consumer Protection at 114 East.

The State Vocational, Technical and Adult Education System is exhibiting excellent growth in the number of students attending its programs according to State VTAE System Director, Dr. Robert Sorensen. Dr. Sorensen told State Board Members, at their regularly scheduled meeting in Madison, that recently completed tabulations indicated 414,836 students attended VTAE programs during fiscal year 1978-79. He said this represented a 9.2 percent increase over fiscal year 1977-78. Sorensen also told board members that an accurate enrollment estimate for this current school year is currently being tabulated and ' should be available shortly after October 10. 1979. In making his announcement, Sorensen explained that the figure represented total number of students enrolled in all courses and did not reflect the number of full-time equivalent students in the system. He told board members that 52,299 full-time equivalent students enrolled during 1978-79 representing a relatively small increase in that category. The State Director explained that the significance of an increasing head count and stabilizing FTE count is that students are taking less full-program work and are being more selective in the types of courses they are enrolling in. According to VTAE Assistant State Director. Frederick Hiestand. "This can be attributed to several factors, including the fact that Wisconsin is enjoying a relatively stable economic situation in spite of what appears to be happening economically in some \ocations around the country." Hiestand went on to say that it appears that people are cutting back on the number of courses they are enrolling in, in order to spend more time on their jobs. This, according to Hiestand, is evidenced by the increase in the number of part-time students enrolling in the VTAE system. Dr. Sorensen told board members that a local VTAE District having a large increase in part-time vocational and adult enrollment, may have stabilizing or declining FTE enrollment and as a result that District might receive State aids which fund less and less of the District's program costs. State aids are based on a formula which considers FTE's. Sorensen assured board members that the State Board staff was acutely aware that this could happen and was looking at several possibilities to assure that the problem would be avoided. "We may have to look at a change in the state aid formula." Sorensen said, "in order to determine a method that will maintain current state funding while at the same time not promote rapid or escalating costs." those states. ^-^^nrinriryTnnnnnnnrtnnrtfYYTrs s o c s ~crs~t cjnnrc otrstrir s s~crs~sn s o Y'innnnrtnrtnrzrzr^nnrirTriinrTTfTrirtnrzrtnrTrsTfTrtnrtrsTnry' PRICE AND When mcL you join book coop), QUALITY C.S.C.

New members need to be recruited, interest needs to be stirred, organization meetings held...which eventually leads to ORGANIZATION. Well, it's not such an easy task, especially for a small, new group. First someone must take the initiative to register. Sometimes it takes a while for a pair of ambitious feet to tread up those stairs in the Union to pick up the appropriate form. But once the papers are in hand...then comes the fun part! Fun?! The one page registration form must be completed and returned with the organization constitution and a statement of the source of funds. Bui where did the constitution disappear to? Who's got the money? How can I get the president's signature if we don't have one? What can we do to con one of our professors into being our advisor? I PHELTA THI happens to be a good example of the average struggling organization. I happen to be a part of that small radius. Sure, we'll have to go through all the initial proceedings—registration, recruiting new members, filling out information forms, etc.—but things will get themselves together \ Going by the attendance at the first meeting, things didn't look so promising for I PHELTA THI. We didn't even have enough people there for a baseball team, but it was encouraging to see some enthusiasm. So we decided to have a publicity meeting over a few beers to inspire more interset. It looks like things'U shape up. We've got a few people who want to have a good time (sometimes there doesn't seem to be too many here at Parkside.) Maybe we'll watch a little Monday night football, have a few beers, go to a few concerts, have a crazy party, or whatever. That's what clubs and organizations are all about—to enjoy being with other people and having a good time. So don't be afraid to get involved. There's something for everyone whether you're an artist, an athlete, a writer, or just a partier. You might have a good time. G. Helgeson There has got to be. to paraphrase a pop tune,«at least, "fifty ways to put off doing homework." Actually, there is an infinite variety of ways to avoid doing what you are supposed to do when you are supposed to do it. You probably have done it already or will do it in the future. Maybe you are doing it right now. Procrastination is certainly one of the most popular private human failings. It's in the top ten, along with picking the nose, eating lead paint, and driving over the speed limit. It's one of those things only the harshly toilet-trained can escape. Procrastination is one of the more common human failings on college campuses, and avoiding homework is one of the most common occupations of the procrastinators on every campus. Still, a lot of students just sort of blunder through, putting off work a little at a time, never fully realizing where their true talents lie. If you're not going to do something,,you might as well not do it right. And you might as well not feel guilty afterwards. It is hard to procrastinate correctly, but taking the easy way out could be disasterous. The easiest and least successful way to procrastinate is always to do just plain nothing. However, this show no forethought or initiative and is considered poor form by most skilled procrastinators. It has been found that it is more conductive to suicidal behavior to sit in a chair watching "Charlie's Angels" re-runs and Ban Roll-On commercials than it is to work calculus problems. A better way to get out of homework is to have something else to do. It always helps to join a lot of organizations. Good procrastinators will sign on the dotted line of every petition, sign-up sheet, and membership list that is shoved in front of their faces. Dedicated procrastinators will belong to organizations that they are for or against, and some that they aren't sure about. Good procrastinators will also volunteer to help other people. I once knew a procrastinator who always volunteered to help his slower classmates. Since his classmates were very slow, he tutored seven nights a week. He never got his own work done, but he got everyone else's done. And he was working so hard, he only felt guilty twice during the semester. " Forgetting completely about an assignment is difficult, but it can be done, The following methods demand a lot of the procrastinator, but they have been tested and proven. Good procrastinators everywhere use them, and it is time you learned to be a more effective procrastinator, too. Have you ever heard a classmate say, "Boy, I got so drunk last night... I forgot all about the assignment until my alarm went off this morning." If you have, you should have been impressed. That noble person was using one of the finest examples of procrastination that has ever come from the inventive mind of a procrastinating student. First of all, getting smashed is a near-perfect method of putting off until tomorrow what should have been done yesterday. All school work seems a little farther away, a little less difficult, and a little less important when you are drunk. And you're not only apathetic; your brain is so pickled that you are incapable of doing homework anyway. In addition, you don't feel guilty because of the interference of the hangover pain, and when the pain is gone, it's too late to worry anyway. Among fhe best ways to forget about an assignment is to avoid hearing about it in the first place, So. when the professor coughs at the end of the period to signify fhe Announcing of the Assignment, the procrastinator can close his eyes, stuff pencils in his ears, and begin singing, very loudly, any obnoxious song that comes to mind. This blocks out most of the details of the assignment, but it has one drawback. The procrastinator knows there was an assignment to begin with, and ('•Mil. (Ml pg. #• Rnnger Wednesday October 3, 1979 Hitchcock-Truffaut series opens tonight by Ken Meyer "Hitchcock and Truffaut. .. in Retrospect," a film series featuring three of each director's films, opens tonight at 7 pm in Racine's Golden Rondelle Theater, with the showing of Hitchcock's "Shadow of a Doubt." Alfred Hitchcock is known to almost everyone. He has directed 54 motion pictures and has repeatedly experimented with the genre of the suspense. Francois Truffaut, a French filmmaker, is identified with the New Wave movement of film that emerged in France in the late 1950's. "We wanted to give people a chance to see two different directors and styles of filmmaking." said Walt Ulbricht, Lecturer of Humanities. "Hitchcock, of course, is very popular with American audiences. There's a certain mystique surrounding the man. We thought Hitchcock would be popular to a great many people." "We also wanted to introduce a European film director," said Ulbricht. "Once we thought about Hitchcock, the natural choice was Francois Truffaut because Truffaut because Truffaut considers Hitchcock his mentor. He learned' a great deal about filmmaking from Hitchcock. He has considered Hitchcock a teacher in many respects." "Some of Truffaut's films reflect Hitchcock's influence," said Ulbricht. "We thought it would be interesting to show Hitchcock films and then show the European filmmaker, Truffaut. and see what sort of similarities there are in technique and theme between the two directors although they're separated by continents and 40 years of age." The film schedule begins with Hitchcock's films: Oct. 3-Shadow of a Doubt (1943) Oct. 17-North by Northwest (1959) Oct. 31-Psycho (1960) The Truffaut film schedule is: Nov. 7-The 400 Blows (1959) Nov. 28-The Bride Wore Black Film r eview 'Ultra Vixens' a big bust by Ken Meyer Russ Meyer, the king of softcore pornography, has said that his movies deal with fun sex. Meyer's latest film, "Beneath the Valley of the Ultra Vixens," it does deal with sex, but it's not fun. Meyer notes that the difference between his movies and "X" movies is that while his movies are fun, "X" movies are "the scumbag, the compost heap of filmmaking. They deal in very explicit, clinical shots of the human sexual organs." Meyer's right about t.ie explicitness, but I think he has the scumbag and compost heap part backwards. That description seems more suited for "Ultra Vixens," a boring and childish movie about humungously breasted women trying to reform a man to "look a good -—in the face." It could also be described as 90 minutes of 43E's (or bigger) bouncing around the screen. That's all there is to "Ultra Vixens." The script consists of scenes that go nowhere and do nothing. Written by Meyer and film critic Roger Ebert, the script has a grand total of one laugh. That laugh has to do with a lingerie salesman from "Frederico's of Wisconsin" who states that the home office is in Racine. That might be funny to us, but around the country people will ask, "Where the hell is Racine?" So, local jokes aside, there isn't a single good joke. In order to fill up 90 minutes, Meyer uses his well-known rapid-fire editing. What that means is that we see close-ups of a tree, an antenna, a radio, a sign, a building, a pile of clothes, a speaker, a chimney, a bed wheel... Each of these shots is repeated a couple of dozen times. The editing pattern is: show some sex, some of these stupid shots, some more sex, some more suptid shots, etc. Interesting, huh? The sex in the picture cannot be considered erotic in any way, shape or form. It is more like cartoon sex with women who make Dolly Parton look like Twiggy. Sex is present, but it takes a backseat to the continuous, erratic movement of the women's breasts. That's not erotic — it only causes headaches and kinks in the neck. The lead actress (to use the term loosely). Francesca "Kitten" Natividad, can't be understood on the rare occasions that she speaks and is facially ugly. But then again, why be picky — it's supposed to be a "fun" movie. There are many other bad points to mention, such as the narrator on hand throughout the picture to tell us what is happening. It's intended to give the film the look of a commentary on today's sexual society. All it really does is waste time and use a few more unfunny jokes. Another "highlight" of the picture is when the characters spew out brightly colored slime. There are colors for everyone — white, green, brown, yellow, blue, pink and red. These shots were just thrown in for shock value. Since there wasn't much of a story in the first place, the ending probably didn't give Meyer any trouble. All he did was steal from Mel Brooks' "Blazing Saddles" and end with a parody of filmmaking itself. It's a cop-out ending, but at least the movie ends. Some peole laughed at a corny and predictable joke out of desperation for a good joke. One of the characters defecates on the ground and his "fun" friend secretly steals it and throws it away. When he realizes his pile is gone, the man looks into the camera and says. "No shit." Sorry Russ — yes it is. ^eafafyctMcf, tfAcvt*, by Edith Isenberg Are you prepared to assist a family member or a friend in the case of a life threatening cardiac or respiratory emergency? Next week you will have the opportunity to learn the necessary life saving techniques by spending just three hours in a one session CPR course offered by the American Red Cross right on our own campus. This course includes first aid for choking, mouth to mouth resuscitation. and one rescue CPR. Knowledge of these techniques will enable you to help victims of heart attack, drowning, suffocation, drug overdose, to name just a few, until the rescue squad arrives. The class offered gives you the opportunity to practice on mannequins under supervision and. after successful completion, you will be awarded a certificate. Perhaps you are unsure what CPR is. CPR stands for eardio pulmonary resuscitation, heartlung resuscitation methods. The primary purpose is to get oxygenated blood to the brain and the body tissues as quickly as possible. To sustain life, oxygen must be supplied in adequate amounts and distributed to the tissues constantly. If oxygen is withheld for periods of more than four to six minutes, brain damage or death will result. Therefore, the success of heart-lung resuscitation is directly related to the speed and efficiency with which it is applied. You. too. can learn to recognize these emergencies and the necessary life saving methods by attending one of the CPR classes. In order to accommodate the large number of people who have shown interest in these classes, they will be held on three different days and at three different times. The first class will be held on Tuesday. October 9. from 9AM to Noon: the second class will be held on Wednesday. October 10. from 1 to 4 PM; and the last class will be held on Thursday.

The program is sponsored by the Milwaukee, Oshkosh, and Parkside campuses. It offers you the opportunity to improve all aspects of your French. There'll be four weeks spent in Paris and the rest of. the time will be spent in Reims. While in Reims, art and music students will spend most of their t/ne at the conservatory of music and the art school. They'll take a reduced number of French credits. There are two vacation weeks while in Reims (dates vary). To qualify for the semester abroad all students, whether in French, art, or music, must have completed college French or its equivalent with a B average or better. Junior or Senior standing (60 and 90 credits) is preferred, but second semester sophomores (45 credits) who meet the requirements and show evidence of promise will be considered. Art students should complete basic training in drawing design, 3-d, or volume design since the school only accepts students in courses of specialization. Music students should have their basic music studies completed and look to specialized courses in their area while at the conservatory. The program costs approximately $2,200. This covers round trip transportation from Chicago, room and board in Paris and Reims, all French tuitions, fees and in-state tuition, several group excursions, meals, and some incidental expenses. Out-of-state Residents must add the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition. An additional $100 per month in travelers check for personal expenses is advisable. Any financial aid received is applicable to the program. Applications for the expedition are available from any French profesor at Parkside. The deadline for receipt of applications is October 15, 1979. Students will be notified of a decision in the following week. If accepted the whole payment of $2,200 must be paid before departure.

From the Parking L ot cont. from pg. 4 once in awhile lets conscience take over about a day before the work is due, when even the most dedicated of procrastinators have been known to call a classmate to find out what it was they were singing over. The best way to forget about an assignment is to experience some emotional or physical trauma immediately after the assignment is given. This results in true forgetting, and is not a gimmick. It is also cheaper than drinking. It is THE choice of True Procrastinators everywhere. It often involves advance planning, but the results are worth it. Inviting a group of friends to jump out from your classroom doorway to scream "BOO" at you is good, but the more inventive you are, the better results you will get. Breaking you arm by tripping over the desk in front of yours may sound simplistic, but it involves a lot of planning, and could even result in a profitable lawsuit. Well, there you have it. Some of the best ideas I have ever come across. There are a lot of other good ideas, since procrastination is so popular. I would love to read about them, and, if they are very inventive, print them. This is the FAVORITE WAYS TO PROCRASTINATE contest, and, if you get around to it, send me your favorites. If I get around to it. I'll print them.

Are these people actually trying to attach themselves to some kind of movement? If so, why the antinuclear movement? According to all of the information found at the fair, the antinuke movement is not only an emotional issue, but also an economic one as well. As one bumper sticker available at the fair indicated, "Nuclear Power = Rate Hikes and Cancer." One of the most emotional struggles of the many groups sponsoring the rally is that of th One of the most emotional struggles of the many groups sponsoring the rally is that of the Black Hills Alliance, a group mainly consisting of native Americans. This group is trying to defend their land in the Black Hills of South Dakota where strip mining for both uranium and coal has been proposed. The area in mention included a national park, a w ater supply for area ranchers, and a sacred area of the Lakota Indians. During the 1950's, there was heavy mining activity in Fall River County, South Dakota where the cancer rate is now 50% higher than in other parts of the country. Approximately 3,200,000 tons of radioactive tailings (the waste from uranium processing) were left behind in the open air. No one bothered at that time about proper disposal. At the present, disposal of nuclear waste is one of the most pressing problems of producing energy using breeder reactors. The Zion facility is now trying to expand its area for waste storage because Commonwealth Edison, the company that owns the facility, can't figure out what to do with all °t it. At the fair Saturday there was a continuing film in the middle of the park demonstrating the dangerous effects of radiation and nuclear waste. 'he film's purpose was magnified by the many speakers at the 'air who stood up to voice their opposition to nuclear power. Among those who spoke out at 'be rally was Sid Lens of the Progressive magazine. Lens began bv indicting the "cock-eyed administration" with its "cock solar power! constantly ctowded around the tables displaying bumper stickers that read: Stop Silent Death. Split Wood Not Atoms. Better Active Today Than Radioactive Tomorrow. Who Killed Karen Silkwood. and Question Authority among others. Besides the bumper stickers, there were also T-shirts and buttoms available. And for the hungry rallier? Well what fair would be complete without food? The starved marchers could choose from roasted corn, peanut butter sandwiches with sprouts, piro sandwiches topped with clover, and cookies. Then to quench the thirst, one cold find apple cider, lemonade, and of course, solar tea. eyed thinking" about nuclear power. As he stated, "I don't care if someone commits suicide... That's their business.. .but I don't want anybody to put me in an early grave by killing me slowly with radiation." He also attacked a few of our country's past presidents for their contributions to the nuclear industry. "I don't want that born again Christian in the White House to kill me with a nuclear bomb or radiation... Truman was the worst criminal in history. He murdered millions with the Hiroshima bomb... and Eisenhower. he's the one who got us started on nuclear research." When speaking of the Progressive and the hydrogen bomb story. Lens said. "Watch for that article during the next week." Most of the speakers at the rally emphasized the safety record of the Zion nuclear facility, saying that the plant has been shut down about 40% of the time because of problems. But the speakers definitely weren't the only means of obtaining information on nuclear power and its effects. During the day there were people handing out information sheets and selling papers and magazines all over the park. One could hardly escape them or the people circulating one of approximately 10 petitions. Perhaps the most constructive action of the fair was the displays set up by different companies showing their solar, wind, and wood-burning energy systems. Not only was there the usual solar panels and demonstrations, but there also was a s olar still! Like any other affair of its kind, the Energy Fair could not escape the usual paraphernalia distributors making a buck.

Parkside's women's volleyball team took part in the always tough Michigan State Invitational last weekend. Milwaukee didn't put up much of a fight as the Rangers won three out of four games to take the match. The first match against the University of Waterloo of Canada seemed to show how the rest of the tournament was to be for the Rangers. The first game was an exhibition of excellence with Parkside taking it 15-3. Inconsistency took over at this point as Waterloo did in the Rangers with a score 15-6. From this point on the Rangers didn't show anything special as they dropped matches to Northern Kentucky. University of Michigan. Central Michigan and Cleveland State. The only two victories for Parkside came at the hands of Grand Valley of Michigan. In the final game of the last match the Rangers had to overcome a 10-0 deficit. Coach Linda Henderson did point out some good aspects of the tournament. Cindy Henschel proved to be the Ranger's top offensive threat while she also showed her best defensive effort of the year. Henderson was also pleased with the performances of Julie Workman. Linda £eihen and Martha Aiello coming oft' the bench. * The Ranger's record now stands at 8-7-1 for the season. This weekend will be another tough one for Parkside as they host their own Tourney. Play will begin Friday evening and continue Saturday morning. Visiting teams joining the Rangers will be' George Williams College. Chicago Circle. St. Francis, St. Xavier and UW-Oshkosh. Hamsters taken for arant-ed by Doug Edenhauser Despite the relatively young age of Pakside, this being it's tenth year in existence, this school is on a very competitive level in the area of being awarded grants from such organizations as the National Science Foundation. The most recent of these grants was awa rded this past August to professor Ed Wallen of the Life Science division for his work on the pineal gland of hamsters. The research is directed at defining the relationship between the light/dark cycle and the pineal gland in the control of the brain's regulation of reproduction in mammals. "This work is still basic research in the field," said Wallen, who became involved in this subject 10 years ago as a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Kansas. Although most; of the research will call for the utilization of hamsters, because of their extremely seasonal reproductive cycle, rats will alio be used. The reason for using rats is that experiments have shown that they have remnants of the ability to respond to the light/dark cycle. "The rats seem to have evolved out of that cycle," says Wallen. "Research on this subject has been going on heavily since the 60's, but knowledge of the pineal gland goes back to Descartes, who called it the 'seed of the rational soul.' He thought it had a special function." Most of the work done in the past has been in isolating a hormone produced by the pineal gland called melatonin, which happens to be in the family of LSD compounds. It is also known to be a sleep inducing agent. Professor Wallen has a couple of important people helping him on this grant. "I'm very dependent on Professor Wallen has a couple ot important people helping him on the grant. "I'm very dependent on these people in fulfilling this grant." John Georgeson, one of Wallen's assistants, and Parkside graduate is the animal caretaker here on campus. Bill Stone and Paul Sorenson are on the electronics design and maintenance staff. "They are the first people that I know of to use a microcomputer to measure the rhythms in small animals," Wallen added. "Grant activity has been increasing every year here at Parkside, and I think that is a reflection on the quality of the people here." said Wallen. "We have a good strong nucleus of people, and there's a good comradery among the faculty that you don't have at a big university." "A lot of people still think ot Parkside as a two-year community college and don't realize the educational opportunity they have here." Definite results of this research as it relates to man and his environment are still far oft. but the possibile uses in future generations include the regulation of fertility in women. This can not only affect birth control but may also have applications in detecting why some women are unable to have children. . Other possible uses are apparent in the farming industry. It has been known for years that chickens that are exposed to longer days lay more eggs. Also cows that are exposed to more light produce an increased milk yield. "While working on a project of this type there is always the possibility of making a major discovery." adds Wallen, who plans to continue work in this area after the grant runs out. "This is not a two-year project, it is definitely long term." Scotl Mather.

Cramer's Corner by Dave Cramer Well, it took me long enough but I finally got hold of Tom Shulak, the PAB coach. I felt a bit uncomfortable during the interview because it was conducted on enemy territory, the Union Square. Throughout the interview Shulak Seemed slightly incoherent. He said it was because he had. just come.from'a Chemistry test. I think the only test he participated in was the consumption and reaction of alcohol to his body. This fact aside, he had no kind words for coach Tommie Cooper or the Ranger football team. The touch football game between these two student organizations seems as if it is turning into a game of student group supremacy, at least that's the idea I came away with after my conversation with Tom. See-what you think. Why did you accept the Ranger challenge? "Good question. I thought it was a friendly gesture towards another student organization on campus. Besides, the Ranger would be no challenge because they drink Michelob. Also, we want to put the Ranger in their place, on D-l while we're on L-2. That shouldn't take much of an effort, especially when Cooper is playing for them." How bad does PAB want to win this game? "It's not how bad we want to win but how bad we want to beat the Ranger. I just wonder if they will be able to finish the game. With a bunch of lower class students, we must prove to everyone who the leaders are in this university. Simply put, the Ranger is nothing but trouble." What kind of team do you have? "The best. I don't see how we can lose. We got speed, agility, everything to beat the Ranger. And that doesn't take much. Our first string probably won't even have to get upp off the bench." Who are your outside players? "Our outside players are a big part of our team. They are Tony Totero, whose class is only exceeded by his playing ability. He'll neutralize Ranger's big gun, A1 Guskin. Sue Wesley, whose size and speed speaks for herself. Tom Krimmel. Being an alumni of Parkside, he has plenty of reason for revenge, and Bill Niebuhr. A guy who has the knowledge to downright out-wit the Ranger and has 8.4 speed in the 100 yard dash." Does PAB know anything about the Ranger team? "Only that they don't have a chance to beat a club as elite and influential as PAB. Also with a coach like "One Beer" Cooper, I don't see how they can win, or even score any points." What is your reaction to last week's Ranger article? "It was crude, but I suppose that thats the only way that Ranger will get in anyjicks against PAB because they sure won't be able to get any during the game with our tough team. Do you have any words for Cooper? % "Actually, I don't see why he' even set up this game in the first place. He knows what the outcome of the game will be, PAB will win. Besides, Cooper should be coaching a nursery school team, because he would fit right in." Do you want to predict what the score will be? "I'm just glad that I work in the computer center because we'll need a computer to calculate our score after just the first quarter of play. As for the Ranger score, a goose egg is a goose egg. Even Cooper can figure that out. By the way Dave, I heard you and Cooper were related and I really feel sorry for you. "I just hope that the Ranger realizes what they're getting into because this game is not only to prove who is a better group of people, but also a better student organization." "This game won't be taken lightly and I just hope that Ranger is able to field a team. It will be interesting to see how many of them finish the game."

Last Wednesday the Rangers played an especially tough Aurora College team and were defeated with the opponents first shot on goal. Seven minutes into the game they scored on a picture perfect play which ended the Ranger's hopes for the day. "It was just a matter of two decent teams beating each other," said coach Hal Henderson. "It was not a well played game but it was not a bad played game either." Last Friday the Rangers turned the tables on District 14 opponent UW-Whitewater with a 1-0 victory on what Henderson called a "horrendously bad field." "That had to be the worst field I have ever played on in 15 years of coaching. The only positive aspect is that it didn't rain." The score was deceptive as to the actual play of the game. The Rangers totally dominated the play. Parkside outshot Whitewater 13-3 with all the opponents shots coming in the first half. Henderson said that it was significant that Whitewater couldn't even get a shot on goal in the second half. He also pointed out that the opposing Presents a dance with ARROYO Saturday, Oct. 6 9:00 pm Union Square UW-P Students $1.00 Guest $1.50 State and Parkside IP's Required goalkeeper made excellent saves on Parkside's first four shots of the game.

Parkside's first foe will be host UW-Milwaukee, who is presently ranked sixth in the midwest with a record of 6-1-2. .Milwaukee is the favored team this year and has won the last two tournaments. Platteville and Green Bay will also play each other Friday with the winners and losers matching up on Saturday. Parkside's record now stands at 3-3 on the season. Hockey interest develops in K-town A relatively unheard of sport in this area, hockey, is again going to be offered in Kenosha for those who like to play but don't really have enough talent to make the semi-pro team. The Kenosha Komets will try their hand this year for the first time ever in the Badger State Hockey League. This is a league for 17 years and older who would like to play. Conditioning and tryout clinics are now being held for skaters who would like to tryout for the team. Assistant general manager and trainer. Ted Barnett said that at present only 21 people have tried out for the roster of 24. Since Parkside at present does not have a hockey team Barnett says that this would be a perfect opportunity for college age guys who like to play. There is a minor tryout fee of 10 dollars and a fee of $200 for those who make the team. Players must also supply their own equipment. The Komets schedule begins November 3rd with a slate of 11 home games and 10 away contests.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document W Univ ersit y of W isconsi n -Pa r ks ide Wednesday September 26, 1979 Earl Hines to perform Jazz piano great Earl "Fatha" Hines, his quartet and featured vocalist Marva Josie will open the fourth Accent on Enrichment Subscription Series at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Communication Arts Theater at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29. A limited number of tickets ($6.50 each) is available for this event from the Parkside Union Information Center (Phone 553- 2345). Season subscribers receive their tickets by mail. Hines' appearance continues the AOE tradition of bringing to the area each year one of the great jazz artists or groups of all time. Others have included Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Kenton and the Preservation Hall band. A living legend at 73, the remarkably energetic Hines has no intention of trading in his piano bench for a rocking chair after more than 50 years of making jazz history, bringing this particularly American musical form from the black clubs and back roads to a world-wide audience. Hines is recognized by critics and musicians alike as the "fatha" of modern jazz piano and as one of the three or four premier influencers of the development of jazz in this country. Hines has been profiled in The New Yorker magazine by Whitney Bailliet and is the subject of a recent book, "The World of Earl Hines," by British jazz critic Stanley Dance. In Dance's book, Hine's colleagues are effusive in their praise: "The greatest piano player in the world," is how Count Basie has described him. "When you talk about greatness," Erroll Garner said, "you talk about Art Tatum and Earl Hines." Hines' concerts have a broad appeal because the music is familiar and boasts a strong, buoyant beat. His program typically includes the best of popular standards as well as a healthy dose of tributes to such departed colleagues as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and Jack Teagarden. His career dates back to the 20's when he came to Chicago trom his native Pittsburgh and teamed witn Louis Armstrong and clarinetist J i m m i e Noo ne to mak e a s e r i es of records still regarded as classics. When the big band era dawned, he opened at the Grand Terrace — Chicago's equivalent of Harlem's Cotton Club — for a run that lasted 12 years and included appearances with such stars as Ethel Waters and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. Members of Hines' big bands included Jonah Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Trummy Young, Budd Johnson, Omer Simeon and Wardell Young. Hines' flair for finding and developing local talent is no less legendary. His protegees have included Herb Jeffries, biny Eckstine, Sarah Vaughan and Johnny Hartman. Latest on that list is his current featured vocalist Marva Josie, whose multi-register voice has won critical raves mixing jazz feeling with a hint of her early operatic training. In recent years, Hines' records have repeatedly won honors and awards including the International Critics Poll of Downbeat magazine, which twice named him the world's number one pianist. He appears regularly in the nation's top clubs, on network TV shows, as guest artist with major symphony orchestras, has made three guest appearances at the White House and toured the Soviet Union, Europe, South America. Japan and Australia. Following the slight thaw in U.S. relations with Castro, he was the first American jazzman to play in Cuba in 16 years.

Again we see the majority become a minority because it's money is less of an economic vote than that of a member of the elite. Sure many of the rich worked hard for what they have and deserve it, but if the earth is to survive, all people must share and share alike. Offertory in church is, for the most part, collected in percentages of peoples weekly incomes. This is the case with many things and should be the case in saving gas. The oil companies shouldn't just raise the price at one standard amount. If they have to raise it, they should charge on the basis of gas mileage. The car owners whose cars get less than ten miles to a gallon should pay ten dollars a gallon, and the ones who have economical cars should pay less. One might say, "That's crazy! It'll just cause a crisis with the big car business. Screw Chrysler! Forget the big car business. Maybe a system like this would force these "gas hog producers" to meet certain gas saving standards. This type of cost system would force conservation of energy by everyone, and the oil companies would still get the money they need for more research.

AI Set It... by Sue Stevens With people all over the place developing depression because there aren't set roles for them, you'd think that legislators would try for some consistency in age legislation. At present there are bills being introduced to up the drinking age in Wisconsin from 18 to 19. Our neighboring states already have higher drinking ages and Illinois has just passed legislation to raise the legal age from 19 to 21. When Wisconsin legislators were faced with the problem of minors from other states crossing the border to drink, they thought they better do something about it. But what? Nobody can decide which age would be fair and solve alcohol problems in the schools. Bills were introduced to change the age for hard liquor to 19, and leave it at 18 for beer and wine. No good. Kids would be driving long distances to get to beer bars, and there'd be more chance for accidents caused by drunk teens. Another bill was introduced to leave the drinking age at 18, but change it to 19 for carry-outs so that high schoolers wouldn't buy it for their friends. Still no good. What about those 18 year olds out of school, would that be fair? Some have suggested raising the age all the way up to 21 again. No way say many tavern owners. Too by Tim Zbnmer As I sat on my "throne" last Tuesday night reading Doug Edenhauser's opinion on Student Government, I couldn't help but smile. Someone had finally realized that Student Government at UW-Parkside is nothing more than a big joke. Let's stop for a moment and look at the situation. At the time of this writing, P.S.G.A. consists of a President, Vice-President and six Senators. There are 18 open Senate seats. The two standing committees of P.S.G.A. contain a total of 21 seats. Only five of these seats are filled. That's pretty poor participation on the part of students. P.S.G.A. has done nothing about the parking problem. P.S.G.A. has done nothing about the food service. P.S.G.A. has done nothing about many of the problems found on the Parkside campus. It is a simple fact that the administration will not listen to the views of a student government that has only seven members. The next time you get to school and can't find a parking space, remember that YOU are to blame. The next time you buy food on campus and find that it doesn't suit your taste, remember YOU are to blame. The next time you stand in line at registration for hours, only to get classes you don't want, remember YOU are to blame. YOU, the student body of UW-Parkside, are to blame because you are content with sitting back and letting things continue as they are. This campus is in strong need of a student body that cares about campus problems and is willing to work at correcting those problems. Student Government will be as strong as you make it. Fall elections will be held on October 17 and 18. Twelve Divisional Senate seats will be open. In addition, five S.U.F.A.C. seats and five Union Operating Board seats will be open. It is time for the students of this campus to stop complaining and start getting involved. If we work together, we can solve the problems faced by this campus. /tu :>i/\rr Linda Andersen.

Deadline for letters is Friday at 10 am for publication the following Wednesday. many of the bars and discos in the area cater to younger crowds. Their businesses would go down the drain. Well then, what about raising the drinking age to 19 all the way across the board. This seems to be the best solution, but I believe it causes just as many problems, if not more, than it solves. It's bad enough that the legal age to have a driver's license is 16, and that kids handling autos don't have to be completely responsible for their driving record because they aren't considered adults. It's hard enough to determine which 17 year old should be tried as an adult in criminal court and which should be turned over to juvenile authorities. If an 18 year old is old enough to vote, get married, be a criminal offender, or to be drafted, is he an adult? If w e're to raise the drinking age to 19,1 truly believe that we should make it clear who is an adult and who isn't. I think it's foolish to slap 18 year olds on the back of their hands for drinking, and then tell them they must be responsible for their actions. If it means raising the legal age; voting, marriage, drafting, and all to 19 or even 21, it should be done. Otherwise, there'll be even more contusion in an already confused world.

The Renak-Polak tract is termed by naturalists a "Climax Woods," characterized by the presence of beech and maple trees — estimated to be more than 200 years old — and by unusual ground cover including the rare ginseng. The tract is located tn Caledonia, slightly east of River Road and west of the old North Shore right of way and north of the Five Mile Road. Governments attack PTA The United Council of University of Wisconsin Student Governments, Inc. wishes to make public its condemnation of the marijuana propagandizing activities oy ixitain Parent Teacher Associations around the State of Wisconsin. The PTA's are creating false impressions about the so-called 'bad" effects of marijuana. Recent programs, such as those which sponsored high school speakers who are adamantly opposed to the consumption of Dot. can be added to their list of reactionary activities. Kim Kachelmyer, Legislative Affairs Director for United Council, in reference to the pot and paraphernalia bills pending in the State Legislature, says, "The PTA has not introduced any legislation to ban the sale of glasses used in the consumption of alcohol. Do they condone a drug (alcohol) that has been proven to be more harmful than marijuana?"

It is called "bottle baby disease" and its symptoms are diarrhea, malnutrition, brain damage and even death. Over 27,000 babies will fall victim to bottle baby disease today. Multi-national corporations such as Nestle, Abbott/Ross Labs, American Home Products and Bristol Myers contribute significantly to that problem by promoting the use of milk formula products to mothers who could breastfeed. In places like Singapore, and other areas around the world where promotion is intense, breastfeeding rates among poor families have plummeted from 71% in 1951 to 5% in 1971. The costs in lives is enormous. Studies in Chile, for example, show death rates two to three times higher for bottle fed babies. The 1978 World Health Organization explains why: The probability of mothers having Chiwaukee News Presents The NCSA Ski Week January 1 - 9,1980 to Big Sky Montana $250.00 Includes: $50.00 Deposit Due Oct. 10 Sign up in Union 209 Bus Transportation Lodging Lift Tickets Parties & Races. access to clean water is low and preparation of formula which requires clean water, good sanitation, and literate parents to follow printed instructions in areas where sewage runs in the streets and poverty is severe presents problems. Mothers who become dependent upon breastmilk substitutes are often unable to purchase the quantity of the commercially prepared product that would be needed. Formula is thus over diluted.

NEXT MONDAY NIGHT TH^E GUYS CAN SCORE DINNER FOR YOU. OCT. 1 NEW ENGLAND vs. GREEN BAY Stretching formulas because they cost up to 60% of the family income is common and leads to severely nutritionally impotent food. The economics of little fuel for sterilization of bottles and the lack of refrigeration complicate what is sometimes overly burdensome. Nestle, a giant food corporation based in Switzerland, wholly owns its U.S. subsidiaries: Nestle Co., Stouffer, and Libby. Nestle employs "milk nurses" who have uniforms on to sell their products directly to mothers on a commission basis. Nestle supplies colorful posters and free medical equipment to hospitals; they give gifts to doctors to promote their endorsements. In some areas they continue to advertise through the mass media. Their aggressive campaign has persuaded millions of women to stop breast feeding and use formula. These babies with difficulty enough surviving don't need exploitive marketing and merchandising to induce their mothers to let her milk dry up in a week and then have to rely on formula out of necessity. The Infant Formula Action Coalition, (INFACT), a nationwide coalition of consumer, women's and religious groups, has called a boycott of all Nestle's products until this company stops all promotion which contributes to this disaster. For over eight years nutritionists, doctors and consumer groups have presented reports to Nestle showing that their promotion is contributing to a "bottle baby disaster." Despite these years of mounting criticism including letters, delegations and even a lawsuit, they have made only the smallest changes in its promotion methods. What can we do? Two things. First, urge the support for The Infant Nutrition Act of 1979 ! The second thing you can do is speak to Nestle in the language they understand. BOYCOTT NESTLE!

This question is asked by many women who suffer post-partum depression. Now to ask yourself, what is post-partum depression? The post-partum (afterbirth) period is the time after the baby's birth, the stay-in the hospital and the time period adjusting to becoming a mother. Last March, Laurence Kruckman, assistant professor of Anthropology, along with Sharon Svendsen and June Craig, U.W. Parkside students majoring in Social Anthropology, began the making of the post-partum depression film. The idea for the film occured when Kruckman was doing his discertation in South America on peasant women. He became interested in the aspects of child bearing and changes women go through. There are three stages of post-partum depression. The first is the 72 hour blues, which occurs •" the hospital. The mother goes through a period of crying, has frightening dreams and doubts her role as a parent. Ninety percent of womer have this type of stress. The second stage, also called blues, occurs three to five months later. According to Kruckman, this stage of depression is more emotional. It causes tremendous exhaustion, insomnia, headaches, rapid change of moods and more crying. One researcher calls it miserable sleepiness." Kruckman stated, "Women who have children out of wedlock and the women who don't relate well to their mothers are the ones who suffer most." The third stage is psychotic depression, which is related to lack of support. This stage of depression is usually controlled by drugs. Kruckman also stated that "Women who are the most excited are those who will suffer most because they will go from this tremendous high to this tremendous low. Many women are unaware ot how to cope with post-partum depression mainly because the doctors will tell you 'you'll get over it'," said Kruckman. " That's also the reason little research is done." Kruckman, Svendsen and Craig worked closely with a group of women at Harper College in Palatine, Illinois. The group coping with the problems of having children is the panel of women in the film. The women discuss the different problems they experience and how they eventually learned to cope with themselves. As one of the ladies put it, "You have to give yourself a little victory every day." Which brings us to the title of the film — A Little Victory Every Day. The 37-minute film will soon be released to the library so all studenfs interested in viewing it can do so. II you re one of the women who suffered from post-partum depression, give yourself A Little Victory Every Day. Wednesday, Sept. 26 MOVIF.

If your score was not to your satisfaction, take a few minutes to review their suggestions which are printed below. Exercise While there'p nothing like a good physical workout to tire you out, lack of exercise can make you feel equally fatigued while reducing your muscle tone and contributing to obesity (even when you eat moderately). The chances of suffering from certain forms of heart disease may also be increased by inadequate physical activity. Exercise is an ideal way to relieve tension and stress and have fun at the same time. If you are otherwise in good health, regular vigorous physical activity for at least 30 minutes three times a week will help shape up a healthier you in a matter of months. Nutrition The answer to overweight is not a crash diet. Instead, a sensibly balanced intake of moderate amounts of food combined with increased physical activity will reduce your weight and generally increase your sense of well-being. Alcohol Just three glasses of wine per day, three pints of beer or three drinks of hard liquor can place you in the danger zone for possible alcoholism or cirrhosis of the liver. If you cannot moderate your drinking by yourself, consult a community health organization or obtain professional advice. Fifty per cent of all fatal motor vehicle accidents involve alcohol. If you drink, don't drive. Tobacco The smoking habit is a hard one to break, but if you can quit before any disease develops, your chances of contracting lung cancer and other respiratory diseases as well as heart disease are considerably reduced. If you cannot quit, try to cut down on your daily consumption, reduce inhaling and switch to low tar and nicotine brands. Even if some form of lung disease is present, reducing or halting your tobacco intake may improve your condition so that you feel better, breathe more freely and have more energy. Road and Water Safety You can reduce your chances of death or injury while riding in a motor vehicle by over 50 per cent simply by buckling your seatbelt. Maintaining the speed limit is another means of controlling your vehicle and your life. Other self-induced risks such as drinking or taking drugs which impair alertness at the wheel endanger both your own life and that of others. Water accidents can be averted by wearing life preservers while boating, swimming with a "buddy", and never diving into unknown waters. to UJ 0£ u_ X O z CO Z UJ < M M OL z < O X < IM 0_» SUBMARINE SANDWICHES • HAMBURGERS . yizza j ' ' y o u , to** Birch Roa d at 16th Aven ue Pno^e 5 C • -7a .< ar • r -arry - ( ;ijt / [".rive iJr fJ1 r>d• p en 4 1Q Sura a-, '»-•/: V; S -rdav S r a\Pday 8021 - 22nd Avenue Phrrf? 3 r ' s * Sarp Out ! hpq v-"-:p [<"> o T3 ,> o m Z CO 70 |C CD m Z CO 0 £ w m 1 70 <0 o iz New Book Gives Straight Talk on a Career in Selling Life Insurance If you qualify, you can start right now — while you're still in college.

Helgeson Now that some of you hot-headed idealists have calmed down a bit from what Kenosha News called your "uninterrupted parade of opposition" to the idea of building a correctional facility on Parkside land, let's think about this idea logically for a moment. As soon as I heard about the idea of putting cons next-door to students, I thought, "Here's a possibility that will give this university's outreach missionaries something they can really get their teeth into." No more of this small-time stuff. Recruiting non-traditional students from the ranks of small-town mid-America for a commuterschool like Parkside is, you have to admit, a little in the line of recruiting groupies for the Rolling Stones from an all-girls boarding school. In both cases, most of the recruits are only too eager to catch up on what they've been missing anyway. But, give those missionaries a whole institution just bursting full of tax-evaders, petty theives, rapists, and all sorts of educational dropouts. A real challenge — puts me in mind of Billy Graham crusading in hell. However, all these potential recruits will just be sitting around the old cell-block, a captive audience with absolutely nothing to do but prepare themselves for a career in computer science or business administration when their time is served. This could be a real test for outreach, but I have faith in them. They'll pass with flying colors. It's just that I know their methods so well. First, a few innocent postcards in the mailbox. Soon followed by a large manila envelope containing a blank form and a substantial amount of slick propoganda. Then, a day or so later — they like to give you some time to think about it — a letter or two appealing to conscience ("You intimated interest in attending UW-P. Yet, we have not received your completed application or transcripts. We believed you were sincerely interested in becoming a seeker of knowledge and sent you the necessary forms. Please don't break our trust.") And then, finally, they start to get rough. They send, by registered mail, a menacing little card commanding: YOU WILL REGISTER AT MAIN PLACE ON THIS DATE.

The night before I did, in fact, register, I had a very strange dream about a huge man wearing a funny little flat hat with a tassle. He was breaking my little finger and telling me the Boss was going to be very disappointed if he didn't see me at registration. Now don't get me wrong. I don't hold a grudge or anything. I like Parkside fine. But those outreach people are really good at their jobs. I bet they'd have those cons skipping rope to the tune of "Macho, macho student, I wanna be a macho student" in no time. And, once you think about it, what is so distasteful about attending college courses with cons? Real students won't have to eat with them, or use the same bathrooms or anything. Just sit in the same classroom, listen to the same lecture and breathe the same air. Once they're here, I really can't see too many problems involved in integrating this new type of non traditional into student life. As a matter of fact, there could be a lot of important advantages in store for the UW system, Parkside, and the students, not to mention the cons. First of all, the whole UW system will greatly enhance its reputation by being the first state system to roll out the old red carpet to people from all walks of life. Proponents of equal rights in higher education will stand up to applaud the UW system for this noble move toward expanding higher educational facilities to meet the needs of the environment. They'll probably even call it "humanistic." The UW system will become a model of the ideals for which all other state systems strive. Parkside will profit in two ways. With the appearance of cons on campus, the average cumulative Parkside student gradepoint will rise. Unlike most students, those cons will have nothing to do after classes but study. And their grades will reflect that. Also, with a little cooperation from the warden (plus a lot of coercion from the guards), Parkside will have a guaranteed enrollment for many years to come. Cons on campus could even be a personal boon to the rest of the student body. Almost everyone has heard the business world's stock criticism of universities: college graduates do not leave school prepared to work. Well, I'm sure that after a few years spent with cons, most Parkside students will be wellprepared for the business world's rat race. After all, they'll be learning first-hand from drug traffickers, embezzlers and political criminals. What better way to learn a trade than from an old pro. And dorms? It has been said that Parkside's lack of campus life goes hand in hand with its lack of student housing. Here's my solution! Since both the physical tacilities and the atmosphere of the two are so similar, the prison facilities could double as forms. No problems with setting residence hall curfews, regulating parties or preventing illicit sex in Parkside's dorms! So you see, everyone would benefit from building a correctional tacil'ty on Parkside land. Don't you agree? Parkside soccer team splits pair H voi n n o n n n A ^ Hanger Wednesday September 26, 1979 7 Having an up and down week has been the history of many of Parkside's sport teams of late, and Hal Henderson's men's soccer team is no exception. Last Wednesday the Rangers hosted Trinity College and made quick work of them. Junior Karl Goetz scored the first goal of the game with assists from Brad Faust and Lee Cielonko. Trinity was never to recover. The final score of the game was 3-1 as Trinity scored their only goal with three minutes left in the game. In the meantime freshman Beejan Beheshti scored two goals, both of them with assists from Lee Cielonko. Saturday proved to be a different story alltogether as Parkside hosted a tough UWMadison team. "We stubbed our toe. Our youth caught up with us, said Henderson." "It was just a case of their juniors beating our freshmen to the ball." Statistically the game looked even as Wisconsin barely outshot Parkside 23-18. Actually though the game was no contest as the Rangers scored their only goal on a penalty kick by Earl Campbell. "The toughest part of our schedule is coming up. If we can win halt ot the next six games we should be alright," said Henderson. Parkside's next match will be Wednesday at Aurora College and Friday at divisional opponent UW-Whitewater. The next home game is October 10 against Lawrence University. Volleyball Women win three KAII1BOW Coach Linda Henderson's women's volleyball team had a successful week last week winning all three of the matches they took part in and running their season record to 5-3. Last Tuesday against Concordia was more of a practice as the girls won the best of five match in three straight games. Saturday they traveled to Marquette to face two tough teams in UW-Platteville and Marquette. Henderson said that Platteville proved to be tougher than she thought they would be, as the Rangers lost the first game 17-15.

"They can't score touchdowns unless they have written permission from Tiger Stoffle, and she needs written permission from Twinkle Toes Guskin, and he needs written permission from me. So basically Dave, I don't think we've got a damn thing to worry about." What does your training program consist of? "Michelob.. .lots of it. We drink it, we s hower in it, and we even sleep with it." Isn't that a slightly rigorous training program? "Yeah, but the team wants to win, so they follow it. As a matter of fact, they love it. They're happy all of the time. I never hear any back talk, but when they're in a drunken stupor, what do you expect?" What do you feel your chances are of winning this game? "Being perfectly honest Dave, I have to say that PAB has as much chance of winning as Dick Nixon has of being voted the 'Honest Abe' of the 1970's." Next week I hope to interview the coach of PAB (whoever that might be) and get their opinion of this game. Coach Cooper during training session with team members. by Dave Cramer I was sitting in the library, diligently studying my textbook on basketweaving when someone walked by me and said to a friend who was with him that the Ranger and PAB (Parkside Activity Board) were going to have a touch football game. My reporter's curiosity got the better of me and I had to find out more about it. Having heard that Tom Cooper was going to coach the Ranger team, I thought I'd have a talk with him. Foolishly I went down to the Ranger office to talk to Cooper. When I got there and asked for him, the entire room burst out with laughter. I was told that he wasn't there, but was where he did all his studying — in the Union Square. 1 strolled on down to the Union and found Cooper, who I was to find out later is a strict disciple of Morris Buttermaker, enjoying a liquid lunch consisting of Michelob, more Michelob and even more Michelob. Just as I was about to approach him and ask for an interview, he got up and staggered into the ladies and then men's washroom. I waited outside for a half hour before I decided something was wrong and thought he might be in some sort of trouble and needed some assistance. I entered only to find Cooper kneeling over a commode. I introduced myself and told him of my mission. He readily accepted my request and this is how the interview went. Why are you having this game? "To beat the shit out of PAB. To teach them a lesson. They've been bitching at us since we've started charging them for ads. They want everything for free, free, free. We're going to give it to them. Well, actually, to promote student interest in life on campus. To pump some interest into this we have a little side-bet." What's Ranger's team strategy? "I'm glad you asked me that question. I've been out recruiting. But not just anybody. I'm bringing in Parkside's highest paid personnel on campus. I've got A1 (Twinkle Toes) Guskin, Larry Ratner, and Carla (The Tiger) Stoffle. And I'm also working on picking up 'Two-ton' Goetz." But what's your actual strategy? "I'm buying off the refs. But I'm also going to hit them with everything we've got — typewriters, layout tables, editors, etc." Enough about you. Do you know anything about PAB? "You mean other than they suck? It's costing me a fortune to find this out (Totero doesn't come cheap), but they have a strong defense." How strong is their defense? "They are so strong that personally I think they haven't taken a shower for months." What about their offense? "I think they are a bit offensive, don't you?"

About 125 students, faculty members, and people from the community were in attendance in the UWP Communication Arts theater to witness testimony after testimony panning the idea of building any prison on UW-Parkside land. The Parkside campus, along with nine other sites in southeastern Wisconsin, was chosen last year by state officials for possible locations for two new state correctional facilities. Since that time; an environmental impact study was performed on each site. The hearing Friday night was held by state prison officials to hear testimonies regarding that study. The report by state consultants listed disadvantages of locating a prison here such as zoning changes, a decline in UW-Parkside enrollment, lower real estate values, an adverse affect on air quality, and bad sub-soil and water table conditions at the UW-P sites. The speakers at Friday night's hearing pointed out those things in the report which they felt were either imcomplete or treated improperly. Among the first to speak was Vice-Chancellor Lorman Ratner, who read a statement prepared for the hearing by Chancellor Alan E. Guskin. Guskin was on university business elsewhere at the time. Guskin's statement began by saying that proposals to locate a prison on the Parkside campus "indicate a disregard for both the intellectual and physical environment of the university." Guskin joined others in citing that Kenosha County "gave this PURPOSE of providing a site for the university." Eric Olson, a member of the Kenosha County Board, said that placing a prison here would be"grossly unfair to Kenosha taxpayers" and that the idea as a whole is "asinine." Regarding the need to change the zoning of UW-Parkside land in order to build a prison, Olson said, "We (the County Board) will never approve a zoning change for one inch of Parkside land for any other purpose than university use." Not only would Kenosha County provide a barricade for state officials by not approving zone changes, but it would also file suit against the state for a breach of contract according to Fran Jaeschke of Kenosha. As she stated, "State statutes required the county to give the land for the university. It was not just a gift." Another among those speaking against the State's report was Kenosha District Attorney John Landa. As he said, the consultants "should go and do their homework." One of the problems he mentioned that the report overlooked was a large work overload for the DA's office of Kenosha. Dr. Florence Shipek, a Sociology-Anthropology professor at Parkside, stated more than several things wrong with the impact study. Among those things she cited was the fact that the study failed to look at "costs for the community such as increased road construction and traffic control, as well as more work for the Kenosha County Sheriffs Department." As for the enrollment declining. Dr. Shipek stated, "The study failed to realize that Parkside has two types of students — day and night students. This fact alone can make a major difference in the impact of a prison here." Dr. Eugene Gasiorkiewicz. Life Science professor here, stressed that "we owe it to future generations of this area to keep the small green belt we have here." Several times during the hearing there were references made to the hard work and dreams that went into the founding of UW-Parkside. As Chancellor Guskin pointed out in the statement read by Ratner. "The clear intent of this gift was to provide a place where they (Kenosha County Residents) and Cable for Kenosha? by Dan Galbralth Mayor Paul Saftig and the city council are working on plans to get cable television to Kenosha. Several cable television companies will be invited to give a service presentation before the city council in October or early November. The mayor said he would be getting in touch with officials in West Bend, who recently approved a'franchise permit, to see how they chose their cable television company. The company servicing West Bend. River Bend Cablevision Inc., will be providing 30 channels featuring local programming in addition to the regular TV stations. The city will also benefit from the introduction of cable television to the area. Saftig said. Last year, Racine received approximately $80,000 in revenue from its cable franchise. West Bend will earn 3 percent of the cable television company's total revenues. Saftig likes the idea, he said, because those people who want the service can have it, while those who don't want to pay the monthly charges don't have to take the service. by Walt Remondini The 1.8 million dollar Molinaro Hall addition which has been under construction for close to a year, is now scheduled for completion within the next 2-3 months. That was the word from Heinz Butt. the campus consultant to the project. "The bad weather last winter held us up a little bit but we are moving very smoothly now." he said. Gary Goetz. UW-Parkside Assistant Chancellor, added that the bidding for the equipment to be included in the building could delay its being ready for full student use. Both parties did agree that some of the classrooms could be in use by the start of the spring semester although they stressed that the addition would not be in full operation until late summer or the fall of 1980. their children could receive a university education and to obtain for the community the many other benefits of proximity to a University of Wisconsin campus." The emotionality and hopes of the founding fathers of this campus was summed up by Frank Schliesman. President of t'ne Parkside union local. As he said. "If George Molinaro, one of the founders of Parkside who has been honored with having a university building named for him, could see that the state is proposing to build a prison here, he'd turn over in his grave!" 2 Wednesday September 19, 1979 Ranger Ed,toria ' OPINION Student government clowns around by Doug Edenhauser Throughout the past few years here at Parkside the office of president of PSGA has been held by a wide range of various personalities. From a very neurotic person who disagreed violently with everybody most of the time to the present prefect who calmly sits in his throne and agrees with all five of his student senators. During the turbulent years the Senate was usually full of people bidding for meaningless power, just arguing with each other and apparently not concerned with the outside world. Who was the victim of this living wargame? Well of course the students were. The "Administration" would do to the students whatever they felt would be best for their own careers. Nobody noticed. As time progressed, the student would think twice about abhorent conditions and wonder if there was anybody here on campus that could possibly do anything about the horrible food, (which of course is still present), lousy parking (ditto), and a number of other problems. At that time a number of people asked PSGA to act. In all their wisdom they finally did something. They sent out a couple of surveys in which they asked students if they didn't like this or that and the students agreed that they didn't like this or that, and that was it. Nothing more was said and nothing more done. So, as the situation stands now, PSGA knows that the students are in discontent, but does nothing about it. Along comes a new student administration and another set of surveys for which the results are lost. A strong part of student government is the infamous SUFAC. Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee. They take a portion of the students' tuition and dish it out to the various student organizations on campus. At this writing there is one student on this committee of 11. At the moment it is inactive, but as budget time in February rolls around, it will quickly fill with representatives of different organizations begging for an increase for money that is often probably misused. Again the administration shows its power by telling this committee what it can and what it can't do. Student activities such as athletics have had their budgets already figured out for them over the next few years. If this is to be the trend of the future, soon we will all be working full-time year round to pay for our schooling. As a rule student governments at most schools are very ineffective, until just recently. The introduction of the clown student government at Madison brought on a trend of similar organizations across the nation. The infamous Pail and Shovel party at Madison has become nationally known for such antics as a Statue of Liberty likeness in Lake Mendota, a giant toga party based on a famous film, and so on. People have been wondering why something like this hasn't happened here at Parkside. Well, as a matter of fact it almost happened in the last two elections, but almost only counts... Would such an organization make it on this campus, or would lack of imagination take its toll? To tell the truth, it could not possibly do any worse than all of the administrations of the past few years. Many people would bet dollars to donuts that if a clown-type ticket came up on the ballot it would surely draw more votes than the average 10% turnout of the present student elections. This would definitely prompt more student involvement, more ideas, and more action on the part <^f student government. Sure! Maybe the university hierarchy would pqy more attention to the clowns of the future than to the clowns of the present and past, maybe out of fear or maybe out of enjoyment. They would have no choice but to react, wouldn't they? PSGA elections for President and Vice-President will come again in March, so any campaigners have a long time to get organized. As/ See If... by Sue Stevens Last week I mentioned that Lee Dreyfus vetoed a bill to raise his own salary. What I meant to say was that he said he was going to. He didn't. I suppose this is his way to make sure that Wisconsin doesn't end up with a large surplus like that of the past Democratic administration! I have been anxiously awaiting to receive a letter in the mail with the "top secret information on the hydrogen bomb" in it. I'm sure that if I really want to figure out how to make the bomb that I can by doing a little studying in the library. Don't tell the government that though.

Dahli Lamba is visiting Wisconsin this week in order to, as he said,"make friends for India." During his scheduled stop in Madison, he was supposed to visit the capitol and the university. His tour was delayed, however, because his arrival coincided with Madison's Second Annual Toga. Officials were afraid that he'd be greeted by chorus lines of college students dressed in togas and carrying a beer in each hand singing "Well hello Dahli!" Finally, I've been considering who to vote for in the primary this fall, if there'll be one. Personally, I believe that the Wisconsin primary should remain open. Those members of the National Democratic Party that believe that open primaries work against them are off the wall. If a member of another party wants to see a weak candidate win the nomination, he knows that the best way to do that is not to vote for that candidate in the primary. It would take an awful lot of voters to really swing the election that way. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't like being told that I have to vote for all members of one party. That I consider impeding the democratic process. Do you have a good story? Do you have anything of nterest to the people of 'arkside? Stop by or call the '.anger office We'll put it in the paper!

The purpose of the walk is to raise money to help the hungry of the world through the Community Hunger Appeal of Church World Service (CROP). Each person who walks secures sponsors to sponsor him/her for a certain amount of money per mile completed. Ten miles is the goal, with the route roughly following the one used for the Lighthouse Run. A Hunger Rally will be held two weeks before the Hike, on Sunday, Sept. 23, at 3:00 pm at the Racine YMCA to sign up hikers and distribute materials. The Hike committee hopes to raise over $7,000, a portion of which will remain in the community to mee local emergency food needs. "Walkers can designate agencies of their choice to receive the money raises, such as CROP, Lutheran World Relief, Catholic Relief Services, or World Relief Commission for Evangelicals," explains Father Mike Michalski, Priest at St. Edward's Catholic Church and the Hike's treasurer. "To meet such a goal, many hikers are needed," added Father Michalski. More information is available by calling Pastor Fox (632-1686) or Pastor Larsen (632-9886).

A program specialist will work with the student. Some of the features of the learning lab include diagnosis of learning problems (pre & post testing), one to one/srhall group instruction with EPS specialists, developmental instruction based on student ability, individualized approach to learning, reading improvement, study techniques, composition, and computer assisted instruction (CAI) in Math and English. Any instructor may refer a student to the lab if the student has any difficulty in notetaking or studying, according to Susan Taylor, reading specialist. "Eventually, mini-courses will be offered for certain courses on how to study for them," said Ms. Taylor. The CAI is on an experimental level, according to Geoff Gajewski, writing specialist. The computer programs for basic English grammar were designed by Mr. Gajewski. The programs for basic Algebra were designed by Sam Filippone, Math specialist. Some of the regular courses offered by EPS are Reading Improvement, Writing Improvement, Study Skills, Composition Preparation and Essential Math Skills. For any course, a student can take the total program or part of the program to meet the student's special needs, according to Ms. Taylor. Faculty and staff are encouraged to bring a whole class to the lab, according to Ms. Taylor. Special scheduling will be made for this purpose. If interested in the learning lab to see how it can help you, contact the EPS office, WLLC-D195 or phone 553-2605. G€T MO.

Often times uncles or other male family members are there to help these boys. Often times not. Big Brothers of Racine, Inc., is providing many of these boys with something that is irreplaceable: a friend, someone to give them a hand, a big brother. Big Brothers Inc., is a nationwide program funded mainly through the United Way. Its Racine chapter b*gan in the late 1950's. It provides fatherless boys with intensive one-to-one guidance. Boys, ages 6 to 15, are matched with a "Big Brother" who will see them at least one time a week for three to five hours. Along with this, Big Brothers provides counseling and referrals to other help agencies for mothers of the boys. The agency also keeps watch over any problems that might arise. This forms a sort of three way guidance system for the boy between his mother, Big Brother, and the agency itself. Big Brothers of Racine, Inc., presently has 135 boys assigned to a brother, with 40 to 45 in the process of assignment. The Big Brothers range anywhere from college students to doctors or lawyers. The only restriction is that they be responsible, male adults, willing and able to offer something to these boys. The boys themselves enter the program from a variety of ways. Many times mothers will refer their sons. Juvenile offenders on probation might be referred into the special program called Project Acceptance, or referrals might come from different social service agencies. There are several Parkside Big Brothers at this time. Dave Habegger and Mike Deno both volunteered to give their own personal glimpses of what it's like to be a Big Brother. Dave, age 19, is a Psychology/ Sociology major. This is his first semester at Parkside. He first became involved with Big Brothers through an ad in the Racine paper. Dave had his Little Brother, Dave is now involved in a program called Dial-A-Kid. Big Brothers (who enter the program the same as if they were going to have a little brother) can call to the agency and select a child to take to a special event, say, a baseball game or circus. This requires less time (usually once a month) than having a full-time Little Brother. Dial-A-Kid works well for Dave with his busy schedule. "When I have the time again," says Dave, "I'd really like to have another Little Brother. It's a great feeling to be able to help him and be there when he needs me." Mike, ago 20, is a business major. He has been a Big Brother to Dave, age 11, since January. He noticed a Big Brothers flyer on a bulletin board here at Parkside and picked it up. "It took me awhile, though, before I called Big David, age 8, for about seven months when the boy's family had to move. During those seven months, though, Dave states, "The time I spent was very well worth it." Dave and David became close enough in that time, so that David didn't want another Big Brother after he moved. The experience for Dave was unique. "At first David was a little closed, but after we got to know each other a little, we really became friends. It was a great experience." Big Brothers provided ball games, picnics and other cont. on pg. 7 From the parking lot by G. Helgeson I was raised on Wonder Bread, smoke-cured bacon, Sugar Pops and Jiffy peanut butter. My hamburgers are usually close to raw and my Kool-aid is always oversweetened. My favorite flavors are disodium insinate and monosodium glutamate. My addiction to diet Pepsi goes way back to the great calorie cut-back of '69. So does my pack-a-day habit. I don't know what fiber is, and I really don't mean to offend anyone, but if I found it in the list of ingredients on my instant pudding box, I don't think I could eat any more. I don't know what decaffeinated coffee tastes like either; most of the time I really don't care. But sometimes I feel so guilty. I feel guilty when I think about the future. Someday, I'm sure, I will die a slow, agonizingly painful death. Cancer will devour my innards, eat away my nerves and rot my brain. I know. The Surgeon General told me so. It is inevitable. I will have to pay for my sins. That flimsily disguised threat ("... may be hazardous to your health.") is more than a ultimatum. In my declining years, I will be reduced to a raving, tumorously grotesque monster, condemned by fate (and the Surgeon General's whim) to roam the countryside in search of a Cure. And I bet Jerry Lewis won't even take pity on me. Yes, I will roam the land along, destroying everything in my path as I lust after the Cure. I will never rest, though the pain blurs my The Parkside Union invites you to pick up a FREE GIFT PAX (Manufacturer's Samples) Freshmen Women & Men Soph., Jr. & Sr. Women Union Info. Ctr. Sept. 17-21 Parkside I.D. Necessary - One Per Student vision and the rain and snow wet my wasted, lumpy body through. As the sun sets on my weary existence, I will be chased from cities and villages alike. I will be forced to seek shelter in the most squalid of dives. The Healthy will bolt their doors to me, hiding their vitamins and children from my sight, lest I should curse them all for their moderation. Then, as others join me in my misery, we will become packs of disgustingly distorted malignancies, roving the land, searching onward for the Cure. Later, when we tire of the search and grow discouraged, we will search instead for the strong and Healthy of our kind to vent our mad rages upon. And I, being the most dreadfully afflicted, will lead my brothers and sisters on to great victories over the Healthy, including mass destruction of yogurt factories and health food cooperatives. Then, retaliation! Police dogs will be trained to sniff out, hunt and kill us. Traps will be set for us, with Twinkies as bait. There will be deprogramming attempts, and some of my weaker brothers and sisters will be seduced by promises of chemotherapy and laetrile. Ah, but those who are not sniffed, trapped, deprogrammed or seduced will be those who will fight with me for our constitutional rights, and, ultimately, we will become the most powerful minority ever to overcome discrimination. We will propose an Amendment, and every Ding-Dong lover in America will sympathize with our plight and lobby for us. When we, the Malignant Party, come to power, this nation will be in the palm of my hand. I will rule these United States as wisely and firmly as any of the other raving lunatics that ruled before me. Yes, it will be a great day for the Malignant Party: Government subsidies for flavor enhancers and emulsifiers! Unlimited governmental spending on sugar substitute research! Tax rebates for tumors! Cancer Security! Ah, it will be a great day to be alive and unhealthy, to breathe the polluted air of this great country.. When my great-grandchildren are grown, and I am long since laid to rest, some young and brilliant chemist will finally find the Cure. The Malignant Party will be ousted, and life will return to normal. Without the fearful attraction of the Malignant Party, Americans will rediscover natural foods and moderation in all things. Hi-C will be replaced by apple juice as the national drink, wheat germ will be available over-thecounter once again, and my favorite flavors will probably be obtainable only through the black market. The Surgeon General will exercise his imnipotent will once again, dolling out the Cure to those who fail to take his threats seriously. So, as the entire nation returns to normal All will breathe out a great collective sigh of relief and America will be free to contemplate nuclear war again.

Besides getting a new director, it has acquired a new head of Technical Services, Barbara Baruth, from Klamath Falls, Oregon, replacing Dorman Smith who stepped up into the position of Collections Development Officer. Concerning local library law enforcement, you had better observe (and register the fact upstairs) the sign just inside the entrance to the library. This crackdown on the NO SMOKINGEATING-DRINKING rule is to emphasize to you concern for the furnishings, furniture and carpeting. Have you ever found a Hostess cream pie on the cover of Gray's Anatomy, or a year old banana peel as a bookmarker in the Mother Earth News? Or how about peach pits and coke cups loitering on level three? Nor is it pleasant to excavate the remains, the skeleton of a tuna fish (sandwich) from the pantheon of Bullfinch's Mythology, and find mayonaise on the robes of Zeus. You get the sauce, I'm sure. Not only will the crackdown be on eating and drinking, but on smoking as well. Ah yes, I know. You've seen Professor Whatchamacallit saunter through the doors, puffing vehemently on his Peruvian Pikamali pipe like a Chicago smokestack going out of existence, and so you follow, with your butt going head first through the gate. CAUGHT...CAPTURED you cry out: "But, but...HE's doin' it. Why can't I?" "Kiss my (but)," a nonsmoker passerby retorts as Professor Wstrolls out through the gate. "See, see." you point wildly. They shall get word or wind of it I promise you, and if all else rusts in vain, the next time you spot, spy, or eye the demon, let him overhear you in conversation about the newest of Masters' and Johnson's experiments concerning the pipe as pacifier. By the way, who left' their burning butt (blazing saddles) alongside this Royal 440 in the typing room on the third floor of the library last Wednesday night? How great thou art is not in reference to you, I might add, but to the works long stored in Archives and only recently resurrected and displayed mostly in the L/LC, including a Picasso lithograph, COUVERTURE DE CATALOGUE, and LES FEMMES ET LE SECRET by M. Chagall, as well as an abstract original by the telephone on level one which either ought to be called HIROSHIMA or THE NEW YORK SUBWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. Stop by and make your own calculations. And, while in the process of visiting, don't forget to stop by the overlook lounge on level one and see the clowns, a painting, not some students. If panting and raving and scurrying you go into the library ahead of your comrades with good intentions of getting the jump on this paper, you seek out the Reference desk and find none, look to your right, behind the card catalogs just down from its previous home. There will also be a smaller desk near the library self-guided tour sheets (the revolving stand) just inside the second set of glass doors, and it will be staffed during peak periods for patrons browsing in the reference area or who have problems of where to look for a book. For jobs, which the library almost always has openings for, see Shirley Mandernack, Student Employment Coordinator, in the reference area for more details and an application. And for those of you who didn't know, or just plain forgot, special collections is now located in the Archives on the D-2 level of the library. Also downstairs, in the dungeon as some call it, are housed rare books and periodicals, first editions, and collections of noted local authors' works, some autographed.

"Excellent" indicates that you have a commendable lifestyle based on sensible habits and a lively awareness of personal health. Keep up the good work and maintain this rating.- 46-55—Good You have a sound grasp of basic health principles. Only one to ten points separate you from the elite. With a minimum of change you can develop an excellent lifestyle pattern. Make the effort to move up to "Excellent" and stay there. 56-65—Risky You are taking unnecessary risks with your health. Several of your lifestyle habits are based on unwise personal choices which should be changed if potential health problems are to be avoided. Look at your test again. Start your improvements with the places you lost points. A few commonsense decisions can mean a "Good" rating, but the challenge is to move your lifestyle up to "Excellent". 66 and over—Hazardous A "Hazardous" rating indicates a high risk lifestyle. Either you have little personal awareness of good health habits, or you are choosing to ignore them. This is a danger zone—but even hazardous lifestyles can be modified and potential health problems overcome. All it takes is a little conscientious effort to improve basic living patterns. Go over your test carefully and start making those improvements right now. ganger WLLC D139 Member Parkside 2 00 Mention this a d! Joseph. 4433-22nd Avenue Kenosha, Wisconsin Phono 654-07/4 ALL M AJOR CR EDIT C ARDS A CCEPTED Netters greet Goggin —Coming Events by Joe Sykora Along with the flood of freshman, the hike in tuition rates, and the revitalization of the newspaper, there's another change at Parkside, a new women's tennis coach, Noreen Goggin. The new coach doesn't want to make any predictions about the coming season. "I haven't had a chance to see any of the other teams yet", she stated. Last year under the management of Sue Tobachnik, the Rangers finished sixth out of twelve teams in conference play. By all indications the Parkside team stands to do just as well or better this fall. One of the girls strong points are the four returning netters from last season. Coming back to the line-up are the number one and two singles teams, who also Big Brothers cont. from pg. 4 outings for the boys. Dave feels that these special group activities for 'just the guys' was very beneficial along with the one-toone contact. Brothers to find out more." Big Brothers interested him because he didn't have any younger brothers and has "a fantastic family and I wanted to help someone less lucky." Mike and Dave laid down the rules with each other right away and promised to be "straight with each other." After that, they were friends. In fact, Dave's grades were very poor at the beginning of the year and Mike states, "with a little leaning" he was able to help Dave raise them considerably. Mike seemed to feel that honesty was a highlight in their relationship. "1 try to relate things from my own life, good and bad, to help him. I'd rather have him hear things from me than from other kids on the street." Mike usually sees Dave two or three times a week and it's not always for some major activity. They enjoy doing all sorts of things together, from washing the car or going for a cycle ride to visiting museums or seeing movies. In Mike's words, "People are afraid to make a commitment, especially with their time. They are really missing out." He feels confident that he and Dave will be friends long after they are out of the program. Big Brothers offers a unique opportunity for fatherless boys. Guidance, a friend and a lot of fun times. But the benefits are twofold. The Big Brothers themselves earn a young friend and a "Little Brother." were the number one doubles team. They are Kathy Logic and Kathy Thomas. Mary Ann Cohn has also returned to the squad after, a stint in England last year. Cohn was number two doubles when she was at Parkside two years ago. Laura Bianco rounds out the experienced varsity line-up. All the girls are showing good form on their basic ground strokes and serves according to the rookie mentor. "If we have any weakness it might be finding some good doubles teams to work together because most of them have not played together." New to the team are Joanne Olson, Jean Thomey, Lori Bleashka and Nancy Kibbe. Coach Goggin brings to Patkside considerable experience for a new instructor. She received her Bachelor of Science in education from Bowling Green State in 1976. The Parkside newcomer was a teacher and tennis coach at Marietta College in southeastern Ohio last year. Prior to that she served two years as a teaching assistant at Pennsylvania State University while earning her masters in physical education. "The thing I enjoy most about coaching is the opportunity to work with the girls and the co-operation you get from them", explained Goggin, who will also instruct the womens .'basketball team. This comment reflects what Goggin is looking for this year. "I want the girls to have a successful season but not necessarily in terms of win and loss record", explained the midwestern native. "I want them to enjoy, themselves and do the best they can." Noreen Goggin looks like she's going to be one of U.W. Parkside's better changes. Duffers rebuilding by Walt Remondlnl Many residents in the southeastern United States have had to begin rebuilding after being ravaged by hurricanes in the past weeks. Golf coach Steve Stevens must know the feeling. He is faced with the loss of five key players from last years squad as the team attempts to rebound from an eighth place finish in the district tournament a year ago. "We are a very young team. The entire squad is composed of freshmen and sophomores in terms of eligibility," said Stevens. Back from a year ago are, Todd Schalinski, the number two man in terms of average last season, Brian Graham, Mike Funhul, and Mike Redfern, who is returning after a season off. New to the team are, Doug Hoff and Bob Sobol, both of Tremper High School in Kenosha, Dave Edmunsun of Burlington. Oak Creek's Mark Peteerson, and Tim Rudey of Genoa High School in Perrysburgh, Ohio, all freshmen. "We have the making of a fine squad," commented Stevens. "The players are very serious about what they are doing." The team began the '79 campaign on September 7th, in a dual meet against UW-Stevens Point. The Rangers took it on the chin, losing by quite a number of strokes. The team "settled down" in their next match against Marquette and UW-Milwaukee, though, and turned in a good showing. The biggest matches of the upcoming year will be on the weekend of September 27th and 28th, as the Rangers participate in Wednesday, Sept. 19 SEMINAR on "Resume Writing and Job Hunting Skills" at 6:30 pm in Tallent Hall, room 181.

"These guys have the enthusiasm of young players. They make it fun again." Last Wednesday the team travelled to Northern Illinois to play a tough Northern squad. The teams inexperience and youth showed as Parkside lost that game by a score of 3-0. Saturday's 4-2 victory at home against Beloit was a complete turnaround from the previous contest. "We had a 300% improvement as a team, and a 500% improvement in our goalkeeping. Freshman Dave Farin gains more confidence every time out." Parkside got it's first goal just two minutes into the game as Bob Newstrom headed in a shot from Brad Faust. Henderson said that Faust had taken charge out on the field. "He's very quick with excellent ball skills. He draws people to him so that he can lay off to other people." This was evidenced as he assisted on two of the Ranger tallies.

Carthage trounced classifieds Parkside's women's volleyball team got its season under way last week with a victory over cross town rival Carthage. Scores of the games were 15-1, 15-6 and 15-9. Coach Linda Henderson pointed out that the Rangers had a week more of practice than their foes. Last weekend the team travelled to Chicago for the De Paul Invitational. In the several matches that weekend showed the good points and the bad points of the team. In the first match against Northern Illinois the Rangers lost two straight contests, both by scores of 15-9. The losses were blamed mainly on lots of mistakes. The next match put Parkside up against a 'very tall, very good' Illinois State team. The Rangers lost to games by identical 15-5 scores. At this point the Rangers made a quick turnaround and defeated a tough Cleveland State team by scores of 15-8, 10-15, and 15-11. Dayton, the next team on the schedule had to fight hard to defeat scrapy Parkside team 15-11 and 15-2. Last season Dayton ended the year ranked sixth in the country.

Kirk new UWP library director Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document University of Wismn«in . p a rkside Wednesday September 12, I979 Kirk new UWP library director by Donald S cherrer Tom Kirk, 36, is the new acting director of the Library Learning Center here at U.W. Parkside succeeding Joseph Boisse. Boisse succeeded the founding directo r of the library, Philip B urnett, in 1973. Under Boisse's direction, the library achieved national recognition for its bibliographic instruction program, was recognized as one of the ten best teaching libraries in the nation, and was named Wisconsin's "Library o f th e Year" for 1978. Boisse is now director of Libraries at Temple University, Philadelphia, a library which serves abo ut 35,000 students, has an annu al budget of $4 million, houses a collection of 1.5 million volumes, and employs 165 full-time staff m embers. On leave from his position as science librarian at Earlham _College, Richmond, Indiana, a college als o noted for its teaching library, Kirk will serve as acting director of the L/LC while Chancellor Guskin meets with faculty and staff leaders to organize a national search and screen committee to seek a permanent succ essor to Boisse. Born in Philadelphia, Kirk graduated from Earlham College in 1%5 with a degree in biology, and accepted an offer for the Position of science lib rarian while at Earlham in his final year. He received his M.A. in Library c 'ence from Indiana University in 1%9, Eo " ows professional 0 s ' runs, swims, and plays soccer. He also has a solid background of institutional responsibilities in athletics, from junior varsity soccer coach (1968-1978) to serving as the Athletic Committee Chairman. He likewise values his teaching experiences, something which he had at first intended to spend his life with. He has taught library science and science courses, among them: the History of Biology, Bibliometrics, Literature of Science and Technology, and 'Information Sources and Services. Among his prodigious list of credits are the presentations he has given at conferences nationwide. These presentations are not only an expression of his knowledge of bibliographic instruction but, as Kirk believes: "It's part of the professional commitment that I feel about making academic libraries more of an integral part of the institutions that they service; and being more agressive and making their services available, trying to make sure that the university gets its money's worth. It's an investment in the long run." Among his professional activities, Kirk serves as: 1. Co-editor of the Library Research Guide Series, put out by Pierian Press, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 1972. 2. Project Director of the National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for the Development of Course-related Library and Literature Use Instruction in Undergraduate Science Programs, 1976-80, and 3.

The study so far has been funded by a $12,888 grant from the Governor's Employment and Training Office. Elijah said he was hopeful that an additional grant of $36,000 to $42,000 from the Employment and Training Office will be awarded for development of a math cirriculum to parallel the reading cirriculum and for evaluation of both programs. Involved in developing the program, in addition to Elijah, are Philip C. Gonzales, a former UW-P faculty member now involved in the bilingual education program at the University of Washington: Stuart L. Rubner, director of the UW-P Office of Community Student Services for adult students: and Kiyoko Nielsen, a UW-P graduate who now is director of the Urban League's Project Re-Entry. Dual degrees decision Many students have been wondering about the policy on the granting of a second Bachelor's degree. The University of Wisconsin awards a Bachelor of Arts degree and a Bachelor of Science degree. The degree awarded depends upon the student's major. If a student has completed majors which lead to both of these degrees he/she must indicate on the senior summary which one of the two degrees is desired. All majors completed, whether before or after graduation, will be shown on the transcript. Anyone holding a bachelors degree from another institution wishing to obtain another one from UW-Parkside. has to follow all of the rules and regulations regarding transfer students. If one receives a bachelor's degree from Parkside he/she can't be granted another of the same kind (Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science) a person holding one of these degrees may receive the other bachelor's degree provided he/she does the following: 1. After receipt of the first degree, enrolls in UW-Parkside as a matriculant, declares a major leading to the desired degree, and fills a senior summary indicating intent to receive the second bachelor's degree. 2. Completes an additional 30 credits of work at UW-Parkside after receipt of the first degree and satisfies all graduation requirements in effect at the time of first enrollment as a matriculant student following receipt first degree. 3. Completes a major leading to the degree sought, with at least 15 credits of advanced work for the major completed at UW-Parkside following receipt of the first degree. This policy was approved by the Faculty Senate. March 20, 1979, and overrides any earlier policies dealing with the dual degrees. of the INSIDE... • Kinesis moving! • 'Breaking Away' • Volleyball outlookj 2 Wednesday September 12, 1979 Ranger OPINION Who do you see as the most powerful presidential candidate right now? Linda Adams, Senior - Who's running?? Michelle Crespo, Sophomore — President Carter because he helped Sadat and them get the peace talk over, and he's trying to help everybody, so I think he might get re-elected in 1980. John Voclno, Junior — It's either between Kennedy or Carter. I see nobody from the Republican Party being a strong candidate. What most people go for is the personality, and right now it's between Kennedy and Carter. Ron Parker, Senior — I'd probably take Kennedy. Even though he hasn't declared, he has the most powerful support. Randy Willis, Freshman — I'd have to go with Carter. To the Editor Attacking editorial TO THE EDITOR: May I point out one thing to you about a university — the reason it is a university is that it grants advance degrees. If you want a "traditional" college setting, without all those "non-traditionals" around, may I strongly suggest that you attend a college that can just grant the baccalaureate. Most are private, and therefore very costly — it is, by the "non-traditionals" via their taxes that afforts (sic) most of the "traditional" students here that superior educational background by which Parkside is becoming nationally known. In your rather childish editorial STUDENTS LOST IN SHUFFLE, you take minor issue with the Chancellor's comments about Parkside's mission. Remember, Parkside is a public institution — and the mission MUST be to serve the total public, and whether you like it or not the southeastern Wisconsin district is a modern industrial community with hundreds of "non-traditionals" who could not be "traditional" when their % Perhaps your parents are J less, or an aunt who stay (sjjy to play the then "traditional"! of housekeeper-mother. As for your AS I SEE It don't insult we traditional; read the papers, we listen J national news, we talk J ourselves, and if we didn't dj of these things — the fa wouldn't let us miss the „ issues of the day. May I ^ that you yield you (sic) space, faculty member, a sport/j organization leader, a natb political leader (maybe one r presidential candidates), leading businessperson Nation.

Aloysius Chart As I It S P. S. G. A. • # • by So* Stevens During the past few weeks there have been reports of violence between some American citizens and some Vietnamese refugees here. What has been the cause of this small uproar? It seems that a few of the American people are upset that the newcomers are outdoing them. For a long time now the American people have been becoming less productive. Everyone is pushing for what has been called a "post industrial" society. But along with the four-day work week and more leisure time has come a serious economic crisis. Could it be that we Americans don't like seeing what we could do to better our economy? These refugees, who have never really had a chance before to do for their country, are trying to work hard because that's how they've been brought up. Can it be that some of the American people have forgotten that their ancestors had it a little rough here when they came, or has our narcissistic society just closed the doors? The majority of our people have welcomed these refugees with open arms. Those who would wish them back on decrepit boats to rot are thankfully in the minority. When speaking of the majority in America, we all wonder who will vote for who in '80. Better yet we wonder, "who's running?" Ted Kennedy's family has okay'd his candidacy, but as he says, he's still supporting Carter "at the present time." Finally, I see that Lee Dreyfus has jumped on a bandwagon for the consumer that MacDonald's is leading. He recently vetoed a proposal for his own pay raise. Nobody can do it like Dreyfus can! Jbra: that, also by Maiy Arnold Student involvement in campus policy and decision making is the largest responsibility of any student government. Though students have not always been able to express their thoughts from positions respected by their counterparts in the administration and faculty, Parkside students have such positions available to them. There are positions available, depending on an individual student's interests and background, that deal with the Athletic program on campus or with problems in the Bookstore. A total of 22 positions on faculty committees are reserved for student representatives, and dozens of seats are now vacant on student committees waiting for students with an interest in budgeting or in the directing of Student Union operations. This is a brief list of the opportunities for student involvement in campus operations: two seats each on Academic Actions and Academic Policies Committees, four seats on the Library/Learning Center Committee (this also deals with media services), two seats on the Athletic Board, the Campus Planning Committee, and also the Bookstore Committee. If any of these opportunities interest you please contact Tim Zimmer at the P.S.G.A. office in lower Main Place or call 553-2244.

He has also been called upon many tim es as a consultant to evaluate oth er university library programs, including Ripon College and U.W. Whitewater. Among his ideas on a librarian's duties, Tom Kirk feels that, "To be a good lib rarian you also have to stay in touch with subject areas. You have to cultivate a certain amount of familiarity with what's going on politically a nd cu lturally, and in addition, have cultivated a certain ex pertise in the subject area, Th ey (librarians) ought to be able t o conv erse with faculty ® a way that they can understand what the faculty is about, and what the students are about."

This figure, as compared to last year's final figure of 5,241 is up considerably. According to Dave Voet Director of Institutional Analysis and Registration, the final figure this fall is expected to rise by 100 more students by the end of registration, the tenth day of school. V°gt added, "We're possibly going to break a record this year with new student and freshman enrollment. This year looks as though it'll be higher than any other." The upper class enrollment is remaining about the same as in past years," Vogt said. "All around, Parkside's full time enrollment is up, but that's true of all the UW campuses this fall." Final enrollment figures will be in within the next couple of weeks. The Ranger at that time will publish a total breakdown ot this tail s enrollment. Hear ye! There will be an open Ranger Board of Directors meeting on Thursday, Sept. 13, 1979 at 5 pm in the WLLC conference room D174.

KINESIS, a campus/community film tenet, intends to "foster an appreciation of film art. according to Walt Ulbricht, Lecturer of Humanities. The fall series' schedule consists of 20 screenings showing 24 feature films and 16 short films. "We hare a little bit of everything." said Ulbricht. "including classic Hollywood musicals, experimental films, play adaptations, documentaries and foreign films. 1 call it a good grab bag of titles, film selections and film styles." A 10 member advisory committee comprised of community members, faculty members Thayer, cations, and man. Assistant and students selected the films in the fall series. Ulbricht, Lee Professor of CommumLaurence KruckProfessor of Anthropology, represented the faculty. Stephen Schwartz, Ken Kuenhl. Bruce Peptch, Rosemary Strand and Gloria Bolm represented civic organizations. Mike and Sue Stevens were involved with film Murphy the students selection. KINESIS is aimed towards both the campus and community. The series offers a broader variety of films than that of a campus-oriented series, according to Ulbricht. "The film series sponsored by the P.A.B. is primarily a student-organized and a student-run operation," he said. "(KINESIS) is intended to draw not only the students, faculty members and staff people on campus, but also the community at large. "What we tried to do is not only offer a wide selection feature films," said Ulbricht, "but also offer a wide selection ot short documentary, animated, and live-action films. These short films are worth seeing and -worth reflecting. They aren't shown on commercial television." Ulbricht said, about the entire series, "I'm sure quite a few people in the community would like to see these films. We want to draw people here, and we want ta encourage them to come out here on a regular basis."x The screenings will be held on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Wednesday's 7 p.m. program is shown once. A different program is presented 7 p.m. Saturday, and repeated 1:30 p.m. Sunday. "1 think it will be successful several reasons, said for Ulbricht. "The films we have selected are films that are rarely seen on television for one reason or another and films that have a varying amount of appeal. I think the people will be drawn to the films by the substance of the film itself. Secondly, it's becoming more and more difficult for people to see films on a regular basis because of cost, whether it's transportation or admission prices. That brings me to the third point — the cost is quite low."

The four buddies are: Mike, a hieh school qu arterback with no chan« for a foo tball scholarship: class clown who is still has no ambitions; Cyril, a funny but Moocher, a boy sensitive about his small size ; and Dave, the main character, a boy who lives in his own world, which is Italian bicycle racing. Dave is into his world so much that he talks Italian, plays opera records full blast and always rides his ten-speed bike dreaming about the champion Italian bike racing team that will be coming to town. Dave also dates a girl under the impression that he's an Italian exchange student. He goes as far as to serenade her from under her dorm window. At mealtime, Dave's father finally gets so fed up with his son's infatuation that he declares, "I don't want any zucchini, linguini, or fettucini. I don't want any "ini" in this house." Another theme that "Breaking Away" examines is that of family relationships. Dave's father is forever complaining about his son's actions, but the mutual love Superman! by Ken Meyer Superman cost an estimated $30 million, was on the d rawing board for four years, and used five screenwriters. When that many writers a re involved, the movie is usually confusing and inconsistent. Superman has that problem, but not to the point of ruining it — only weakening it a little. " The movi e follows the original comic book story almost identically. Jor-El, one of the top scientists on the planet Krypton, rockets his son to Earth to save him from the impending destruction o f Krypton. The youn g boy is a dopted by a Kansas couple named Kent who witness the rocket's crash landing. • When he's 18, he leaves Kansas Md goes north, where Jor-El's spirit tells him th at he was sent to Earth to battle evil. He then goes to M etropolis, gets a job at the My Planet and fights crime and corruption. The star of the picture, Christopher Reeve, is a perfect choice for the role: big, strong and > virile — . you j««iviivjw kno. . .the m huperman type. What's surprising ough, is that Reeve plays the of steel 's counterpart, milk nnered reporter Clark Kent, vSfiT"—• has to h 6 time SuP erman leot^7;nto his famous b.ue v- • . ' '""hs for a phone *h>ch to change in, but he can only find one of those walk-in phones without any walls. There are quite a few other laughs without ruining the Superman myth. Not all the comedy is like that, though, and that's what's wrong with the rest of the script. The villains, played by Gene Hackman, Ned Beatty and Valerie Perrine, are moronic and silly criminals in the mold of the old Batman TV series. These characters appear to have been written for a different movie. That's what happens when too many writers are brought in for rewrites. With the size of the budget, one would think that the special effects are going to be overpowering. They aren't. The flying sequences are done without any visible wires, but they aren't that great. The other special effects are worse. When a dam breaks and water rushes toward a nearby town, it can easily be recognized as a small-scale model. Whatever cost $30 million is a mystery to me. There are only two action sequences in the picture. Between these two parts is what makes or breaks the movie. Does the movie fall apart without Superman flying around saving people? Almost. Reeve's performance makes sure that doesn't happen, but whenever he gives the villains the screen the move bogs down and becomes silly and downright stupid. These villains want to mess up everything, even an otherwise entertaining movie. But as always. Superman saves the day.

It builds until the touching scene of Dave's realization that his admiration for the Italian racing champs has been misplaced. It's a fine commentary on family relationships. The third theme that "Breaking Away" deals with is class distinctions. In the university town, the college students derogatorily call the townfolk cutters (the town's industry is centered around stone cutting) and the townfolk don't think highly of the college students. When Dave and his friends drive through the campus they look at the students as if they were from a different country. The social class struggle culminates with the Little 500, a very exciting bike race in which the "cutters." represented by Dave against the campus compete teams. The reason no actors have been mentioned thus far is because the script is so beautifully written that the movie sems like a documentary if's just too realistic to think that somebody wrote it and that the actors are playing characters. That is the highest compliment that can be paid to the screenwriter and actors. Dennis Christopher as Dave and Paul Dooley as his father are the most outstanding of the entirely good cast. The magic of "Breaking Away" is that it's a series of interesting events occurring to interesting characters whom viewers like and care about. It's quite an extraordinary experience.

Coach Linda Henderson eaters the 1979 women's volleyball season filled with optimism. Coach Henderson has good reason to he looking forward to the season. She brings back with her eight returning players from the 28-21-3 squad of a year ago. Included among these eight players are five starters led by seniors Cindy Henschel and Tess Manzano. "We have an excellent core returning from lkst season states Henderson.

Also back as starters are juniors, Liz Venci, Roxanne Nelson, and Tern Bieser. New to the team are tour freshman to help offset the loss of three players from last years' team. "The frosh look very promising this year," says the three year coach. • - they are learning very much in a short time. Although the returning players will provide a solid base for the team, Henderson is careful to note that the bench may hold the key to the success or failure of the team. To point out the importance of bench, coach Henderson cited statistics from last season, fifty-two matches consisting of 123 games were played. With each game lasting approximately twenty minutes that adds up to over forty hours of court time over the span of a season. Coach Henderson, though, is very enthusiastic about their abilities. "The bench has been phenomenal in the past and I am sure that they will be just as good this year," she says confidently. Several Division I schools will be on the Ranger schedule this season including Marquette and Northwestern. The true test for the team will be in the invitationals slated for this season. Included are invitationals at Michigan State, DePaul, and Parkside's own on the weekend of Oct. 5-6. "To finish in the top half of the Ranger Invitational would be a real plus." "The mental state of the team going into matches will be important, right now we have to go into the season playing it game by game." The first big test for the team will come this weekend at the DePaul Invitational in Chicago. Coach Henderson invites and encourages all to support this years' squad and enjoy an exciting fast-paced sport. 1979 Home Schedule Date Opponent 10/5 Parkside 10/6 Invitational Tournament 10/9 Marquette 10/16 Trinity & UW-Whitewater Time 5 pm 6 pm 6 pm NOW . . .

Since doctors treat primarily illness and disease, the responsibility for maintaining good health lies with the individual. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine for achieving and maintaining wellness. It is a day to day individual task, demanding knowledge, careful planning, organization, and a positive outlook. One of the primary goals of this column throughout the coming year will be to offer information to help you improve and maintain good health, and in this spirit I offer the following Ten Commandments for Good Health. 1. Assume the responsibility for your own health. Take time to learn about your body and learn to prevent injury and disease through a reasonable lifestyle and health behavior. 2. Plan for a realistic daily routine with time for rest. Avoid excesses. 3. Maintain a manageable psychological stress level. Be aw® that stress beyond your ability t handle leads to illness and heali problems. 4. Establish good nutritiont and exercise programs — they t hand in hand. Avoid fad diets,fa; exercises, fad cures, fad etc! 5. Check your blood pressat regularly; once every six montk unless you have a problem. 6. Be aware of Cancer's Sew Warning Signals: (America Cancer Society) • Change in bowel or bladdei habits. • A sore that does not heal. • Unusual bleeding or dr charge. •Thickening or lump breast or elsewhere. •Indigestion or difficulty i t swallowing. • Obvious change in wart mole. •Nagging cough or hoars ness. 7. Be sure your immunization are up to date. 8. Be sure you have adequat insurance coverage. 9. Seek help when signs a# symptoms indicate a healt! problem. 10. If you are a smoker, stop: you don't smoke, don't start.

Perhaps these names will be familiar to the entire world next summer, because that's when they will hopefull y be participating in the 1980 Summer Olympic Games which will be held in Moscow. Chris and Jim, two Parkside graduates, are track stars. However, they don't compete in the glamour events such as the sprints, or other headline making events. They are walkers and according to their former college coach, Parkside's Bob Lawson, they both stand a chance of making the U.S. Olympic squad, "They take three guys for each event and right now Jim and Chris are two of the top four guys." Both already have experience in international competition and this can only enhance their chances of making the U.S. team. So when you're driving down the road and see two guys walking at a swift pace, give a wave. Who knows, maybe you're waving to two future world champions. ****** There is a dire need of recruits for men's and women's crosscountry and track teams.

It's finally just catching on . Much the same is happening here at Parks.de as coach Hal Henderson embarks on what may be his most successful season here. "We re just turning the corner, u f&r as the future is concerned, commented. Henderson. "A lot of kids are coming to us right now. This years team shows a bright future with 13 new freihman on the team, many of which will be competing for starting spots. This year's top recroits for the Rangers include Brad Faust, from White Bear Lake. Minnesota, Steve Engel from Milwaukee Marquette. Alan Gibson from Racine Lutheran and John McNulty from St. Paul, Minnetota. Henderson says that he looks for a lot from these four and expects them ill to start. Faust is a midfielder prepped at Mariner High School and as a senior was choosen to Minnesota s All-State team. Alan Gibson is the son of Jim Gibson. Parkside's last year's district champion team. Earl Campbell, last year's leading scorer and Niall Power of Waterford. Ireland are returning for their fourth letter in as many years. Lee Cielonko and Ray Coquis are the other returning seniors. Two junior lettermen returning are Ale Mora and Karl Goetz. Sophomores returning include Claude Cielonko, John Momoima and Steve Borggren. Other new freshmen rounding out the squad are Beejan Beheshti, Carlos Duchicela, Adrian Rietveld and Thanh Nguyen. "In order to maintain this year s high level of recruiting, we must win more games than we lose, said Henderson. That would be a great improvement from last years record of four wins, nine losses, and four ties. "We have the nucleus. Things new to us from last year's squad are added depth and more speed.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document University of Wisconsin - Parkside Wednesday September 5, 1979 . This year Parkside tuition costs increased thirty one dollars and fifty cents per semester. This increase may seem rather substantial but, in actuality, is about average. Last year saw approximately the same rise. Said Gary Goetz, Assistant Chancellor of Administration and Fiscal Affairs, "My impression is that the increases were not that different. I would think last year's was about six percent and this year's is right around eight percent. It's perfectly normal for fees to escalate five, to six, to eight percent each year. The mechanism that fee setting is tied to is that of covering the percentage of instructional costs, and with inflation and salary increases the fees will, likewise, go up." The Ranger also asked the following questions of Mr. Goetz: Ranger—Would you decipher, for us, where all the money goes? Goetz—"The academic fees are split into two major portions. One portion is designated as 'segregated fees'. They go to support all of the student activity functions that the segregated fee committee makes judgment on each year in establishing it's financial budget. For the Parkside campus specifically one hundred twentysix dollars of the eight hundred three charged in tuition fees this year will be taken out for the segregated fees program. The rest of the money goes to the state and is used to help fund the academic library, the permanent lab, and all of the functions of the university.. This money only covers about twenty five percent of the cost. The state taxpayer picks up the remaining seventy five percent." Ranger—What effect do you think inflation will have on. Goetz—"Enrollment is such a highly complex situation (there are so many factors involved in it), that an increase of six to eight percent will not be a deciding factor.

Ten years seems long enough for this campus to establish itself in the surrounding communities. Now is the time for Parkside students to establish their domain on campus. It seems that the students are too often forgotten when the mission of this university is mentioned. With all the spectacular outreach activities and programs comes a hint of neglect. The students are left behind to get frustrated iirtheir pursuit of an education. But who's fault is it if the Parkside students are left out? I believe it's at least partially the fault of the students themselves. With the attitudes the Parkside students carry with them about their university, it's no wonder that no one seems to be working for them. Instead, all of the programs are geared toward recruiting non-traditional and part-time students. The outreach programs are designed to bring the community onto the Parkside campus so that Parkside can build its reputation. Those traditional students who happen to be attending (who, incidentally still make up 2/3 of the student population) just don't seem to care whether they're getting all that they're paying for. But just what are these students paying for? Almost one-third of each student's tuition fees goes toward the segregated fees allocations; student activities and services. These activities (those that everyone is helping at least partially support) seem to have to struggle to survive because not enough students take advantage of them. With Parkside being a commuter campus, everybody uses the excuse that they have too many other things to do at home. Fine. Those of you who feel this way are hopefully those who don't expect to get much of an education beyond memorizing theories and facts from text books. How does all this fit in with students standing up for their rights? Well, no one else is going to promote the ideals and aspirations of the students on campus. In Chancellor Guskin's State of the University speech last Friday at the Faculty and Staff Awards Convocation, he stated that there are three priorities for this university. They are: 1. The mission of UW-Parkside to serve the citizens in the modern industrial society, with an emphasis on society, as represented in southeastern Wisconsin. 2. The university's commitment to quality education by a) appropriate academic standards, b) a stable, high quality faculty, c) a constant upgrading of our academic programs, and d) excellent academic support services. 3. Community outreach. As you can see, the administration is only indirectly concerned with the student population as a whole on campus. By "on campus" I mean those students who are here to get an education both in the classroom and outside. Too long have students used UW-Parkside as a stepping stone to save money in order to transfer to other campuses. Why? Let me note here that Parkside actually has a great advantage over the UW-Madison campus when it comes to classroom learning. With the present ratio of faculty per student at Parkside it seems that more students would take advantage of the intimacy here that doesn't exist in undergraduate programs at campuses such as Madison. The main reason everyone seems to want to transfer out is the campus life, or as many say, "the party atmosphere." With the money one saves by going to Parkside, it seems to me that students here would have much more to spend on such things. If the Parkside campus and the university as a whole is to earn a reputation as an excellent academic four-year university (It's been called to my attention that some Racine and Kenosha manufacturers think that Parkside is a two-year campus!) the students must strive to do their best in every way they can. By doing for the Parkside campus atmosphere and carrying a positive attitude toward the education you're receiving, you'd be surprised how the word may spread that Parkside is a great educational facility that produces some of the best people this area may ever see in business. That's a good thought to have in mind when you want to go places in the business world today. As I See It.. by Sue Stevens Editor As the new school year begins students will see a variety of changes on the Parkside campus. Along with the new faces and classes comes a change in the Ranger. As Editor this year, I'll be writing a weekly column (You're reading it!) to briefly cover some of the current issues I feel students should be aware of. Whether it be a campus, community, or national issue, I'll try to make a comment—good or bad. The first issue I'm sure you're all waiting to hear about is the S31.50 extra you shelled out at registration this year. Why did tuition rise so much? Check out the front page story of this issue and you may find the answer to your question. Prices are rising everywhere, and we all know that gasoline is no exception. In this issue is also a guide to help you save gas and money. That's important when President Carter is running around the country promoting his energy program—and how! Last week it was one big revival meeting after another as President Carter made his way up the Mississippi.

It was evident on the Delta Queen that Carter was trying to work his campaign for '80 in with his campaign for his energy Letters to the editor Pick up that pen! program.

The Delaware police have been trying to distinguish between a thief and a priest for quite a while now without much success. The charges against Father Bernard Pagano have yet to be dropped because the real "gentleman bandit," Ronald Clouser, failed the same lie detector test that Father Pagano had failed earlier. Who should they believe? Who should we believe? There's > bee n a rumour floating around during the past few weeks that the new Farmer's Alamanac is predicting 200 inches of snow this year. It's my personal belief that the snow-blower manufacturers started this one to make sure they get rid of the surplus of the machines they created during the summer. A representative from the Farmer's Alamanac has already denied the statement. But if it's true...Well Chancellor Guskin, what will we do then? Do you have a gripe you want everyone to hear? Would you like to voice your opinion on the U.S. foreign policy or the Parkside Food Service? The Ranger would like to hear from you! The Ranger feels that it's important for students to voice their opinions, and what better way to do that than write a letter to the editor? All you have to do is follow these simple guidelines and your cries may be heard. First of all, keep your letters under 500 words. Next, type them with double-spacing and one-inch side margins on standard size typing paper. All letters must oe signed or they end up in the Ranger's circular file. Names will be withheld for valid reasons. (Because you don't want your mother to find out is not a valid reason.) A telephone number must be included for purposes of verification. The Ranger will try to publish as many letters as space allows but has the right to refuse publication of letters with defamatory content. Finally, remember that the Ranger will not edit letters. Misspelled words and - g rammatically incorrect sentences will remain the same. The deadline for letters to the editor is Friday at 10 am for publication on the following Wednesday. , ganger Sue Stevens ..

Tuition on more important factor would be that of the value placed on higher education by possible students. The high modern day salaries of people who go straight from high school into a career seem to manipulate a potential student's mind, causing uncertainty as to the value of higher education. I think that there should be a lot more to seeking a degree than just dollars and cents. People worry these days about how much money the degree will bring in. It should bring a heck of a lot more to them than money." Another factor involved is whether or not the student can go away to school. Other factors might be: Can the student's parents afford it? and/or Can the student fit into a schedule of going to school and working part-time? The eligibilty of financial aid is another one. In the past there was no such thing as a program that would cover so man y student costs. These programs are really unbelievable these days. the rise-continued programs, that the enrollment is going to be up this year.

Ranger—Is it true that Parkside's tuition is the lowest in Wisconsin? Goetz—"Basically, the situation is such that our academic fees are the same as all other Wisconsin campus'. Our segregated fees are the lowest though, making us the lowest in the system: except for the center system which is allowed to charge a lower academic fee. This doesn't make much difference in attracting students. The Madison campus has always attracted many students for some reason (probably the environment). Parkside does have a faculty just as good or better than UW-Madison's." Ranger—How many People are in Parkside's faculty? Goetz-"I think the figure is one hundred and seventy-six. We are very impressed with not only our faculty's quality but their contact with the students. Immediately, even as a freshman, you encounter top quality staff." Ranger—Do you have any added comments? Goetz—"Only that Parkside is very reasonable as far as tuition costs go, and I certainly hope people don't get the impression that because we hold costs down that they're getting a lower quality ot an education, because that's just not true."

Distinguished service awards were presented to twff University of Wisconsin-Parkside professors and an academic staff member during an all-university convocation opening the school year at UW-P on Friday. Chancellor Alan E. Guskin presented the awards and gave his annual "state of the campus" address as the university launched its 10th anniversary year. Distinguished service awards for teaching excellence of $500 each, based on student nominations and evaluation by a group made up of student representatives and previous winners of the award, went to Timothy Bell, associate professor of music, and Bonnie Smith, assistant professor of history. The academic staff award of $500 for distinguished university service went to Walt Shirer, director of public information and publications. Bell, a member of the UW-P faculty since 1975, teaches woodwinds and a popular jazz appreciation course in addition to directing the award-winning Jazz Ensembles which have won "outstanding band" honors in 1975, 1978 and 1979 at the prestigious Mid-west Jazz Festival at Elmhurst (111.)

Smith, who came to Parkside last year, has been deeply involved in development of the new minor in women's studies at UW-P. She recently won a major grant from the American Council of Learned Societies to do research on "The Idea of Property in France, 1789-1848" and is on leave to pursue those studies at the Harvard Law School and at L'Ecole de Droit and La Biblioteque Nationale in Paris. A specialist in the history of women, she developed a course on women in modern society offered last spring and is working on a book on French businesswomen in the 19th century. She received the MA at Miami University and the Harbeson to Washington, D.C Bureau of the federal Agency for International Development (AID) in Washington, D.C. Harbeson has been a UW-Parkside faculty member since 1967 and a full professor since June, 1979. For the past two years, he has been chairman of the Social Science Division at UW-P.

Last Thursday afternoon Parkside Security managed to do just that, quickly. Shortly after 4pm, the Security office received a call from the Kenosha Sheriffs Department notifying them that they had just received a bomb threat for the Parkside Campus. Ron Brinkman, Director of Parkside Security, said, "By 4:15 the evacuation had begun, and by 4:30 the buildings looked like an unused basement of a dungeon." Brinkman also stated that he was very happy with everyone who aided in the evacuation. Although the people on campus stood outside the buildings for 30 minutes, the bomb threat proved to be a fake.

This year it's GAS. Even doctors no longer speak of it as a stomach ailment. In their expert opinion, it is now synonomous with headache. And psychologists, having analyzed the emotional factors of the crisis (if indeed there is such a thing), agree that stress and temporary insanity are the results. Likewise, if one were to check the files of State Farm or comrades in the same business, it would be noted that the majority of the fender-bender population does not practice birth control under such circumstances. We could blame it all on Henry Ford and his predecessors, or we could wake up some cold morning and stare at the guilty party in the bathroom mirror. No matter, but it is now wiser to go farther on what you have than to go through the old pain in the bumper act of having to push. The Department of Transportation (DOT) recommends sticking to 55mph, in CB jargon, the "double nickel", estimating that more than 36,000 lives have been saved in the first four years of the lower speed limit. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) statistics expect another 81,000 lives are to be saved over the next ten years with the 55 mph program, one of which could be yours. The 55 mph limit was originally conceived in the wake of the Arab oil embargo of 1973. When an effort in November of that year failed to persuade motorists to voluntarily lower their speeds to 50 mph, the Emergency Highway Energy Conservation Act was passed. It made 55 the law, and in 1975 Congress gave the statute permanent status, for the record. With gasoline in the area averaging 90 to % cents per gallon (Regular/Unleaded), (Sorry folks, that was last week at press time—add another penny or two. But then, what can a penny buy nowadays besides a fraction of an Arab's toenail, uncut and unpolished.) you cannot afford not to conserve. How? By multiples of what may seem trivial things. 1. Observe the double nickel, not the fellow in the left lane in the rocket car. 2. Avoid jack rabbit starts—and stops. The tale of the tortoise and the hare applies to the road also. Coast up to a stop sign or "light. 3. Move with traffic and pass drivers who habitually accelerate/ decelerate when unnecessary. It is costlier to stay behind them. 4. Avoid areas where congestion or frequent stops are encountered. Take an alternate route. 5. Use temperance with the air conditioner, heater, etc. 6. Keep all tires inflated to the proper PSI (pounds per square inch), and use radials if you're a country cruiser. 7. Plan grocery, gas, and other stops to prevent unnecessary errands. 8. Use public transportation if available, or walk—for the exercise. (Avoid the embarrasment of not being able to make it through "Fat Man's Misery the next time you visit the Wisconsin Dells.) 9. Court a mechanic (or his daughter). With the price of a tune-up ranging from forty to seventy dollars (make sure that the quoted price includes parts), I • would question the value of the service in relation to the necessity and the cost. Shop and buy, if your car is ready to die. 10. Car pool if possible. 11. Buy snow-shoes if you plan on attending class this winter. And, I have noted an increasing number of rolling-stops (illogical) executed to either save time or gas. In urban areas they are dangerous, in rural lands they could be deadly. Please stop—unless you are 110% sure. These are only a few of the hundreds of tips that are sure to appear in print, either in the pages of the papers and magazines, or in the words of Mr. Goodwrench. And if ail is forgotten, forget not the words of Arthur Henry Reginald Buller (1874-1944): There was a young lady named Bright, Whose speed was far faster than light; She set out one day In a relative way, And returned home the previous night. Faculty members' art to be displayed UW-Parkside and the Racine Art Association have joined forces to present Wisconsin Sculpture '79, a comprehensive show of work by 31 artists from throughout the state which will be on exhibit simultaneously in the Communication Arts Gallery at UW-P and in the Wustum Museum Galleries in Racine through Sept. 30. In addition to works in the CA Gallery, Parkside will have a large sculpture by Dan Bresnahan of Milwaukee on display in Main Place. The abstract wood and steel construction is nine feet high and occupies about 12 square feet of floor space. Bresnahan, who received his MFA from UW-Milwaukee, is a full-time sculptor whose work has been shown at the Beloit and Vicinity Exhibition, the Kohler Art Center and the Midwest Sculpture Invitational at UW-M. Work by four UW-P art faculty members--Rollin Jansky, John Satre Murphy, David Valentine Holmes and Robert Geniusz — is included in the show. A joint opening reception for the artists and the public will be held at both the UW-P and Wustum Galleries from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7.

' by Tim Zimmer President Summer has swiftly passed, and once again it is time for fall semester at UW-Parkside. Fall semester has traditionally been a time for old friends to get reacquainted and new friends to meet. With this being the case, we felt it best to devote our first article to reacquainting you with P.S.G.A. for all of the new students, this article is a means of meeting a new friend. The Parkside Student Government Association, Inc., is the sole representative body for the students. As our name implies, we are a corporation. As a tuition paying student, you become a "stockholder" in the corporation. The "Board of Directors" is made up of the President, the Vice-President, and the Senate. The Senate is broken into twelve divisional seats and twelve at-large seats. Many people ask just what student government does for them. There are many different areas in which we are involved. One of our major duties is the annual budgeting of the segregated fee portion of tuition. P.S.B.A., Inc. has the responsibility of budgeting this money to the different campus organizations. This semester, each fulltime student will pay $63 toward segregated fees. If you would like to know what this money will be used for, stop by our office. We have a graph in the window which shows how much money the different organizations are receiving. Another responsibility of P.S.G. A. Inc. is to appoint students to the different faculty committees. Currently, many of these seats are open. Within the next few weeks, a list of the open seats will be published. Our largest responsibility is to help the students of Parkside. Any time you have a problem, complaint, or suggestion, come talk to us. Our office is located in lower level Main Place, next to the library entrance. If you cannot stop by, give us a call at 553-2244. We also have several suggestion boxes located on the main concourse. That about wraps up the article for this week. We hope that you have gained some insight into who we are and what we do. We are looking forward to hearing from you this semester. by Edith Isenberg It is with enthusiasm and a sense of challenge that I undertake writing a weekly health column in the Ranger. Through "Healthfully Yours", I hope to share with you information which will provide you with a greater understanding of what constitutes wellness—the quality or state of being in good health; to identify what action or lifestyle may improve your health; and to acquaint you with the services and special programs offered by the Campus Health Office. Future articles will include information on topics such as stress, physical fitness, birth control, nutrition, and the common cold, to name only a few. Some of the articles will be written by guest contributors. I would like to stress that the Campus Health Office is for your use. Office hours are from 9AM to 4:30 PM, Monday through Friday, and by appointment in the evening. Dr. Bode, the campus physician, sees students referred by the Health Office free of charge in his Kenosha office. Some of the services offered by the Health Office are: TB skin testing, first aid, treatment for minor illnesses, blood pressure checking, weight checking, insurance information, certain non-prescription drugs, referral assistance for doctor appointments, information regarding community resources, health education materials, a resting place when not feeling well, someone to listen, handicapped services, and family planning information. On behalf of the Health Office Staff, I wish you a healthy and successful year at Parkside! HEALTH HINT OF THE WEEK Don't forget that a low-cost student health insurance program administered through Wisconsin Physicians Services is available to all UW Parkside students. Brochures and enrollment information are available at the Campus Health Office and the Information Center in the Student Union. If you are not presently insured under your own or your parents policy, be sure to protect yourself by taking advantage of this plan.

It's much easier to eat popcorn than it is to stomach a movie as ridiculous as "Concorde." The fourth in the "Airport" series, "Concorde" follows the general plot of the two previous from nothing to something terrible. Among the do-nothing group is Sylvia Kristel (from porn's Emmanuelle series), Eddie Albert, Alain Delon, John Davidson, Cicely Tyson, Martha Raye, Avery Schreiber, and Charo. Character development is non-existent; the only reason these stars are in the film is for marquee value. After sequels: get as many diverse stars as possible and connect them with a plane trip that repeatedly has disasters. This time out, the Concorde, enroute to Moscow for the 1980 Olympics, almost gets blown up by a missile shot down by a fighter plane and sabotaged to have the air pressure blow the plane apart. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? It might have been with good special effects, but in "Concorde" the effects consist of two simple things—the plane turning upside down and air blowing through the plane's cabin. The effects aren't very "special" to me. Due to the trouble in the air, the Concorde makes two landings that are intended to be dangerously exciting. In the first, a recognizable model of the brakeless Concorde miraculously stops with its nose at the very end of the runway; the second landing has the same model sliding through noticeably fake snow during a belly-land in the Alps. The special effects may be bad, but the script is even worse. The screenplay is credited to Eric Roth, which had better be a pseudonym for the writer's career's sake. With the dozen major characters, the screenplay ineptly manages two love affairs, a May-December marriage, a mother bringing back a heart to save her son, and two musts for an "Airport" movie; a handicapped person (here a cute little deaf girl) and a nervous flyer who spends most of the time in the bathroom. With all these characters, there isn't one worthy of any interest. To make up for the boring characters, there are repeated shots of the Concorde flying against tlte clouds. These shots, which seem to total ten minutes of screen time, may strike some people as pretty, but exciting they certainly aren't. The acting by a dozen stars rates FIRST National Bank of Kenosha DOWNTOWN MAINOFFICE AUTO BANK 24 HOUR TELLER BRISTOL PLEASANT PRAIRIE SOMERS Phone 658-2331 MEMBER F.D .I.C. all, nooody cares about a plane full of unknown actors. George Kennedy and Susan Blakely try to do something with their poorly-scripted roles, but it's like they're in quicksand—the harder they try, the deeper they sink in the mess. Kennedy, the only regular actor in the "Airport" series, tries to joke his way through the movie by telling sex jokes about cockpits. Blakely plays a TV newswoman in love with Robert Wagner, who, as Blakely discovers and intends to announce, has made illegal arms sales to foreign countries. Wagner is the dastardly-doer behind all of the plane's troubles because he has to kill Blakely before she blows his cover. Wagner succeeds in keeping only one facial expression throughout the film. To tell the ending and save everybody $3.50, Wagner blows his brains out after his third attempt to destroy the plane fails. Everything about "Concorde" fits together well because all of the production credits are equally as bad. As George Kennedy proficiently states after one close call with disaster, "A thing like this can ruin your whole day." That is so true about "The Concorde: Airport *79."

Most freshmen seem to think it's an athletic club. Or is it a lobby group struggling to start a football team here at U.W.P.? Guess again! Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship- Parkside is a body of students on campus who are committed to the Christian religion. But while Inter-Varsity supports the local church, it is not a church itself. The service of I-V is to provide concerned students with some Christian atmosphere within a secular and often atheist environment. Inter-denominational in structure, I-V includes members of Lutheran, Catholic, Baptist, Pentacostal, and Bible church, as well as several other backgrounds. Besides special events, I-V will be holding weekly activities throughout the year. At noon on Thursdays a brown bag lunch gathering will be held in a room to be announced. In concession with campus regulations, these will not be worship meetings, but they will offer lecture-discussions on the Bible and updates on other I-V services. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays Inter-Varisty will set up a book table near the library and offer free literature about the Bible, Jesus, controversial issues, false religions, etc. Also at the book table is the opportunity to find out about a home Bible-study held at various times according to your convenience. To repeat again, Inter-Varsity is a service organization, existing to be utilized by the student body without obligations. Everyone is welcome to stop by.

Guskin asserted Friday in his "state of the university" address at the convocation which opens each new school year. The priorities, Guskin said, are three: quality in its faculty and courses, intensive community outreach, and programs that relate Guskin speaks on priorities .. - where we should be as a university must be viewed in the context of these three priorities.' "We are deeply committed to granting tenure only to faculty who clearly demonstrated their quality in teaching, research and creative activity, and service. I know the faculty is committed to this and so is the administration. UW-Parkside has increased the number of its programs from 27 in 1977-78 to 39 today, Guskin said. "More important than numbers is the fact that each of the new programs relates directly to our modern industrial society mission," he said. Plans call for expanding the nursing program soon to the graduate level. Guskin said quality in the academic support areas "is defined by the excellence of our library." The UW-P library, recognized nationally for its instructional activities and cited last year as Wisconsin's "library of the year," has been chosen to be the permanent host of the annual conference of college and university libraries who are leaders in the teaching area. Guskin cited a massive increase in community involvement beyond the cultural activities which marked Jiis first thrust as chancellor. He said the appointment of the first full-time coordinator of Community Educat ional Programs has provided the mechanism for even more community service. He said areas of greatest community outreach activity during the past year, in addition to cultural events, included local government, human services, small business, minority youth, gifted children, economic education and research, multicultural activities, local business history, work with school systems, public opinion surveys and hosting of community events. University of Wisconsin-Parkside ACCENT ON ENRICHMENT 1979-80 SEASON LAST TWO SEASONS SOLD OUT - ACT NOW! past year which are related directly to the "industrial society mission." He said educational quality results from a combination of four factors: "Appropriate academic standards, a stabld, high-quality faculty, constant upgrading of academic programs and excellent academic support services." Guskin said community outreach efforts, which he has spearheaded since coming to UW-Parkside has become a center of community activity," he said. "During this past year community organizations held some 125 different activities and events on this campus. Literally thousands of people attended and were exposed to this university for the , first time." Guskin said such communitysponsored events were in addition to "at least as many" Parksidesponsored activities which involved the Racine and Kenosha communities. And the faculty is increasingly applying its expertise directly to community needs and problemsolving, he said. Guskin said 38 new professors had been hired since September, 1978, and said "particular emphasis has been placed on hiring senior faculty in business, sociology and communication, three of our highest enrollment areas." The hiring of quality faculty, however, means that tenure evaluations must be "rigorous," Guskin said.

"Anytime you lose three quality runners it is going to be tough to replace them", says Rosa of the runners not returning from last years team. As a result, Rosa will be looking at the youngest squad in his three year tenure as head coach. So young is the squad that two-thirds of the team will be comprised of freshmen. "There will be a little luck involved" confides Rosa, "but I know these kids are willing to work hard." He praises this years team as being, "Very coachable and easy to get along with." Among the five returning upperclassmen Coach Rosa will be looking to to lead this season's squad are seniors Joe Carey and Bill Werve and sophomores Dave Mueller, Glen Schultz and Chris Ohm. As Coach Rosa put it, "At this point we have no true 'superrunners'.. .but we do have people who can consistently give us good times." Rosa is hoping that his teams' "morale factor" will be a real plus. "I'm looking for this to be a very enthusiastic group", says Rosa, "last year the injury to one of our top runners, Bob Langenhol, hurt the teams' morale a little bit, if they can all stay healthy it should be a good season." The schedule the Rangers are going to face is again going to be a very challenging one. Two tough invitationals at UW-LaCrosse and the University of Purdue highlight this years' meets. Also included is a big dual meet against Notre Dame on Oct. 5th. For the eighth year in a row UW-Parkside will also be the host school for the NAIA District 14 meet and again for the NAIA National meet where the Rangers are hoping to improve upon their nineteenth place finish of a year ago. The Rangers will see their first action of the year this Saturday in a quadrangular meet at UW-Whitewater. The complete season schedule follows: Day Opponent(s) by Dave Cramer Another school session is starting and along with that brings another season full of sports. This fall semester gives us a chance to follow the progress of the men's cross-country, golf, soccer and swimming teams along with the women's tennis, volleyball, and cross country squads. This year's men's cross-country team can do nothing but improve itself after last year's disasterous season. The men should improve because they should have more experience than of a year ago and more talent. The guy's soccer team should have another good campaign with the numerous new faces and with the dedication displayed by coach Hal Henderson. What can be said of the men's swimming team? With the poor turnout that Coach Barbara Lawson must face every year, she does a respectable job. This year will be no different} The women's tennis team enjoyed one of it's finest seasons ever last year and first year Ranger Coach Noreen Goggin inherits a young talented team. Look for good things from them. Another team to expect big things from this season is the women's volleyball squad. The team has most of the players returning from last year's successful outing and with a little luck, could go to nationals. As for women's cross-country, lets hope Coach Bob Lawson has more then just All-American candidate Barb Osborne to work with. All in all, it should be another successful fall sports program for the Rangers. The sports department has two new faces this year writing for the Ranger other then myself and Sports Editor Doug Edenhauser, and they are Joe Sykora and Walt Remondini. Both are a blessing from heaven as they both come with highly regarded credentials. Joe was the sports editor of his high school paper and plans to major in journalism. Walt went to UWM last year and worked on their yearbook. With their help I'm sure we'll have a productive and informative sports page.

Parkside Unites: A March Against Hate University of Wisconsin-Parkside students, faculty, staff joined in a walk around campus to send a message of dignity and respect for all Students, faculty, and staff march around campus on March 10 with signs promoting respect and understanding; shown here, marchers walk outside The Rita. NAOMI DORNFELD dornfO01 @rangers. uwp.edu In the last weeks of March, members of the Dignity and Respect Task force, a student, staff and faculty led organization, began discussing how Parkside could be proactive in the campus' mission and message of inclusion. After some discussion, the team decided to pursue a public march on site. Students were encouraged to attend and invitations were extended to the community. Every voice counts Before the halls were bustling with students attending morning classes on Friday, April 20, a small group of volunteers from the Dignity and Respect Taskforce, in shirts marked "Every Voice Counts," carried poster-board, construction paper and boxes filled with markers to Mid-Main Place. Sign-Making began at 9:00 a.m., where a dozen early-attendees got to work creating messages like "UWP: NO PLACE FOR HATE." Some groups, such as the Black Student Union worked together, writing, "BSU Stands Against Hate." Students, faculty and staff slowly trickled in and the room was transformed into a buzzing collective of willing participants by 10:00 a.m. No place for hate To kick things off, a Dignity and Respect Taskforce student leader, Krystal Slay, welcomed the crowd, expressed her appreciation for the positive turnout and gave instructions for the group to follow campus police officer Kurt Bergendahl along the route. Participants exited through the Mid-Main Place doors in file and followed the sidewalk to the Student Center Terrace. Marchers held their signs proudly and chatted casually along the path. A cluster of voices in the middle of the chain rose briefly, chanting "Parkside is great. No place for hate," which echoed sentimentally, but fizzled after about twenty paces. Geese gawked somewhat concerned at the commotion, but upon realizing the event was more of a peace rally than an uprising, did not protest or attack. COURTESY OF ALYSSA NEPPER One Step at a Time Upon the crowd's arrival at the Student Center Terrace, Slay greeted the collective from a podium and welcomed people to share from the mic. The intent of the event was outlined as an initiative to promote dignity and respect for all. Though not about gun violence in particular, coordinators recognized that the date of the march was the 10-year anniversary of the shootings at Columbine High School - a tragedy that compels conversation on the value of life and the importance of coming See UNITED page 3 Parkside alumnus runs for Kenosha county sheriff Andy Berg, active Kenosha community member, discusses motivations and platform AUSTIN AUSTIN KRIE KRIEGER GER board supervisor in his second term, services somehow and I've never sheriff. plans to offset costs for things such Krieg004@rangers.uwp.edu UW-Parkside alumnus Andy Berg has announced his candidacy for Kenosha Sheriff, running against incumbent David Beth. Elections for sheriff are to be held this fall. Berg has served in the military for over 19 years, as a Kenosha county board supervisor in his second term, as a correctional sergeant for 12 years and is executive director of Kenosha's Garden of Eatin' a nonprofit community garden. Motivation for running Berg recounts when he was a child his parents saying, "my parents always told me to get into civil services somehow and I've never really thought about it to the extent that they thought about it." Though Berg's participation in the community seems to be centered around some sort of civil service. Despite not being a police officer, Berg believes that his experience as a correctional sergeant "is in the wheelhouse" of what it takes to be a successful Building a better department Berg would also like to work to bring the department into a more productive progress through things such as grants provided to the department. Through these grants, Berg plans to offset costs for things such as materials and, most importantly, training for deputies. Training is one of the most important tools in a profession like policing as Berg states, "otherwise you get kind of stale, if you can increase your training you're becoming a better deputy and becoming a better department."

TYLER STEINSDORFER stein078@rangers. uwp. edu On Monday, April 26 at 2:00 p.m., Assistant Professor Jackie Arcy, a member of UW-Parkside communication department that specializes in media, led a group of students in a fake news workshop as a part of UW-Parkside's COMM Week in order to teach about the dangers of fake news and how to differentiate it from real news. Professor Arcy defines fake news as being news that is "created to deliberately misinform" the reader and often comes from "hyper partisan blogs." Prevalence of fake news Professor Arcy went on to state that there is "something more emotional about fake news." These fake news stories tend to align more with people's extreme views, and as a result validates their opinions. It is much more profitable to create these stories as there are no costs for expenses such as photography and research. In addition, there is no legal accountability for stories that are fake so the creators of these materials face little consequences for creating them. As two-thirds of adults get their news from social media outlets, many adults are exposed to a large amount of fake news articles whether they know it or not. The workshop Professor Arcy gave several tips for determining if an article is fake news or not. She described that it is important to check the article's source, author, data, sources, writing style, other sources and one's own biases. To test the students' analytical skills, Professor Arcy presented an activity for everyone to participate in to see if they could determine if a particular article is fake news or not. She handed seven different articles for groups of students to look at and try to figure out whether the articles were satire, legitimate news, fake news or news with extreme bias. As modern society is saturated with fake news, one can only hope that people will take a news articles with a grain of salt and check if it is actually factual.

May 2.2Q18 THE RANGER NEWS CAMPUS NEWS | 3 Briefs Additions to parenting room in library JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers. uwp. edu The UW-Parkside library staff has continually worked to make additions to their library for the benefit of the university's students. A wide variety of students attend the school, and some of them can face obstacles to their education. New parents are one such student demographic, but recent additions to the parenting room in the library can help to make their lives easier. The parenting room is a study space designed to accommodate parents and their children. It has existed for about a year, but since then the room has had numerous additions including a reclining chair, a CD player with nursery rhymes, and a wall-mounted felt board with cut-out characters. Parenting essentials are also included such as a changing table, sink, soap, and a mirror. Though reservations are not possible, a privacy wall splits the room such that it can be used by two parents and their children at once. It is located near to the children's Literacy Lab area with picture books and other simple books on the second floor of the library. The area is designed for children of all ages to use and features comfortable beanbag seating as well as games. Originally, the parenting room was a suggestion from a student, and the library staff made it a reality. Student comments and suggestions regarding the library are always welcome and can be sent to askus@ uwp.edu for consideration. Earth Day KRYSTAL DODGE thom008@rangers. uwp. edu On April 21, Campus Activities and Engagement organized an Earth Day clean up event. Breakfast was provided in the Brickstone. Volunteers worked at their sites from 9 a.m. until noon. Volunteers were also giving commemorative t-shirts. Earth Day was started in 1970. It gave voice to emerging consciousness and put environmental concerns on the front page. It is great to see UW-Parkside taking an active role in cleaning up the community. You do not have to wait until next Earth Day to take part in cleaning up our planet. There are many small things you can do every day to make a difference.

Chancellor Debbie Ford encourself-assessment questions aimed at identifying the terms of dignity and respect in the controversial political climate.

Before dismissal, the group collected for a picture to commemorate the event. The crowd slowly disassembled, making their way back to Friday afternoon routines.

Digital Design Fabrication Lab launches New lab in The Rita allows students to bring ideas to life l i J J otn/lrtntn tiiAlllrl iirpntl KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu The College of Arts and Humanities hosted a soft launch for the Digital Design and Fabrication Lab on April 18 for the students and members of the community, which featured a tour and demonstration of several of the lab's features. This was followed by a panel of department faculty and other members of administration who have been instrumental in making this lab a reality. The panel featured Fireside theater employee Nate Stamper, graphic design professor Carey Watters, art professor Trenton Baylor and theater art professor Jody Sekas. Colleges strive for continuous improvement, and consequently, UW-Parkside is constantly seeking to improve and enhance their facilities in order to remain relevant and competitive. With technology and digitalization becoming aspects of our everyday life, the College of Arts and Humanities wanted to come up with a way that students can be competitive in a digital world. Chancellor Debbie Ford said the lab has "a goal to make sure that our students are prepared to live, work and contribute in this digital world." The digital lab is a tool that will enhance students creative problem solving skills by encouraging new ideas and critical thinking. Students will leam how to use the machines with the intention of teaching the students how to turn ideas into designs and then create the objects. Scott Wallenberg from Modine Manufacturing Company said that math and science students would greatly benefit from learning these skills and makes them more competitive in the job market. The conception and creation of the lab took a little over two years. Professor Baylor submitted a sabbatical in the fall of 2016, and a proposal for funding came in February 2017. The lab is finally up and running in April 2017. With the current technologically advanced landscape of the modern job market, institutions of higher learning must incorporate technological education in order to remain relevant and competitive. UW-Parkside's addition of the Digital Design and Fabrication lab is a step in the right direction to prepare students for life after college.

The event was held in Kenosha at the Italian American club which is located at the corner of 52nd Street and 22nd Avenue. Competition for a cause The Kenosha Literacy Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and teaching English literacy skills such as reading, writing and speaking to adults and families. It has helped educate the community since 1965. Most of what the organization does involves classes and tutoring, though they hold some fundraising events throughout the year. The corporate spelling bee is one such event, and it has been held since 1999, making this latest spelling bee the 19th one held. The spelling bee is a good-natured, themed competition (the theme this year was Harry Potter) in which teams are tasked with correctly spelling words, and the loser is eliminated in each round until a winner is determined. It is called the corporate spelling bee because the teams consist of members of local businesses and organizations. UW-Parkside was one of two Kenosha area colleges that had a team at the event as Gateway Technical College had a team of its own. Four students comprised the UW-Parkside team: Rachele Schwer, Kailee Dunker, Bianca Ruffolo, and Marcelo Hernandez. UW-Parkside students have participated in the past, but these four students took it upon themselves to organize a team for this year. A positive experience Kailee Dunker, a senior who is majoring in political science and liberal studies with a certificate in project management, wrote to the Ranger News regarding her experience via email.

When asked if she would recommend participating in the spelling bee to other students, she wrote, "Yes, because it is a unique experience. I was surprised and impressed by the number of people in the community who came to support [the Kenosha Literacy Council]."

The sets, the acting, and the music all worked together to make a nice end to the 2017-2018 theater season, and it was a perfect way to kick off finals. The story is set in a vaguely 1950's scene, with telephones, elevators and mini bicycles to modernize the myth, but it has a timeless feel to it. Orpheus (Kyle Racas) is a famous musician and, indeed, he seems more interested in his music than his bride-to-be (at least while she was alive), and he hears it played out by his muse (Kimberly Hetelle). Eurydice (Christiane Laskowski), the star, is his fiance and she loves him, though she seems to feel unappreciated and is distinctly more booksmart than he is. She is mourning the loss of her father, who will not be there for her wedding, though she is happy to be married. Eurydice's father (Jarrod Langwinski) is in the Underworld writing letters to his daughter and trying to devise a way to get them to her. The Lord of the Underworld (Ryan Zierk) finds one and makes his way up to the world of the living. He taunts Eurydice with the letter and leads her to his house, away from her own wedding party. She dies, seemingly from being pushed down his stairs. In the Underworld, Eurydice does not remember anything. Her father recognizes her and, as he regained his memory by remembering her name, he sets out to protect her and keep her safe in the Underworld (though the Stones (Alexa Uselmann, Joe Schwaller, and Destiny Kent) disapprove). Meanwhile, Orpheus is going Eurydice played by Christiane Laskowski(right), and her father played by Jarrod Langwinski (left). mad with grief and trying every way to get messages to Eurydice, trying to save her from the Underworld. He sends her a letter and a book, showing that he really does care about her. When Eurydice remembers everything, she is anxious to see Orpheus, but she is enjoying her time with her father. The Lord of the Underworld (dressed as a child) tells her she is to be his bride and she refuses, but we know that he is not going to take that "no" lightly. Orpheus manages to get to the Underworld by following a note. The Lord of the Underworld tells him that he can have Eurydice back, but only if he does not look at her. Eurydice is reluctant to leave her father, but he walks her away (an echo of a traditional walk down the aisle). Eurydice cries out for Orpheus. He looks back. They argue for a moment before they are ripped from each other. Eurydice returns to the Underworld to see the room her father constructed for her gone, and that her father dipped himself into the River of Forgetting. She too dips herself in the River, after writing a note for Orpheus. Orpheus arrives to see them both by the River, asleep, and to find that he too has forgotten. Memorable moments The play was amazing, and the actors were great, but the set stole the show. The raining elevator that brought the dead into the Underworld and rose from the floor was, of course, incredible, but the stationary scenery—the floating candles that glowed like stars when the spotlights were down, the mosaic tile that was reminiscent of the Greek mythit was the little details that really brought this play to life. Christiane Laskowski and Kyle Racas had amazing performances with a great command of the comedy and drama that the roles required, but the best moment for me was when Jarrod Langwinski was alone on the stage. After attempting to send a letter to his daughter, he "walked down the aisle" with his arm out, pretending to be there with her. After such a heartfelt reading of his letter, I was almost in tears by the time he ran offstage to his job. It was one of the best performances I have ever seen at UW-Parkside. Overall, the play was amazing and I highly recommend everyone attend next-year's plays. ~DR. BENSON'S STUDENT POETRY PICKSSmall Eden by Sydney Schoone The splendor of God flourished as the blushed violet sunset cast its rich light over the saint cloaked in his onyx robe and a visiting angel wrapped in transparent linens as they stood within the fenced-in garden beside the aged stone church The angel came upon request by God to give praise to the saint about how lovely and verdant the crimson poppies had grown within the small Eden the saint had made on Earth making the saint blush just as red as he thanked the angel in humble humility The two disciples then clasped their hands together in loving prayer and the flowers seeing this bowed their heads in thanks for the life they had been given while the last drops of sunlight faded over the hills as they all relished in the splendor of their God Indie game presents unique experience COURTESY OF PLAYSTATION EUROPE VIA FLICKER "Night in the Woods" offers beautiful, dark graphics in a side-scrolling style. VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING ONLINE JACK PURVES purveOO1 @rangers. uwp. edu "Night in the Woods" is an adventure game with a focus on narrative. The game takes place in the fictional, decaying former mining town of Possum Springs located in the rust belt. You play as Mae Borowski, a twenty-year-old college dropout (and an anthropomorphic cat) trying to get back into life at home while still living as a delinquent. Engaging Story Memorable characters drive an intriguing tale. Past the everyday activities of a delinquent, the story delves into a tale of the deteriorating town of Possum Springs and the "paranormal" activity haunting it. Some surprisingly fitting dry humor is abundant in the dialogue between characters which brings a certain lightheadedness to an otherwise unsettling and melancholic story. Beyond the plot itself, the characters throughout are surprisingly relatable. Whether it be putting cups over their ears, obsessing over horror movies, or just about anything else, the actions of every character leave a lasting impression. Captivating atmosphere Despite its condition, the atmosphere of Possum Springs is dynamic and full of character. This is due to both the art style and soundtrack, which make an otherwise dreary town look appealing. The sound design in general is very well done. From the sounds of leaves blowing in the wind, to the subtle rainfall of an overcast day, to the sounds of shoes scuffing on the ground, everything sounds superb. Narrative-focused mechanics Ultimately, "Night in the Woods" is "experienced" more than it is "played". The game implements platformer-esque mechanics for getting around and it allows you to interact with others as you please, but you are ultimately pushed forward through a mostly linear story. This is the one thing that hampers 'Night in the Woods", as it limits replayability when it comes to the main storyline. Fortunately, it also offers plenty of enthralling side stories as compensation to discover throughout one or more playthroughs of the game. All in all, "Night in the Woods" can send players on a philosophical trip that explores the smaller aspects of life. It features a memorable cast of main characters, several lovable side characters and plenty of lore in which to immerse oneself. All this is supported by a charming art style, a fantastic soundtrack and a lack of bugs and glitches. While the replayability is limited by the linear storyline, the amount of rich story that you can uncover more than makes up for it. With its story, "Night in the Woods" set out to leave a lasting impression, and it sure does; if you're looking for a nice game to play while wrapped in a cozy blanket and having an existential crisis, this game is just what you're looking for.

May 2,2018 THE RANGER NEWS CULTURE | 5 "Toni Erdmann" a.k.a. "Awkward silence: The movie" ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers. uwp. edu Over the course of the past year, UW-Parkside has played host the some of the most critically acclaimed foreign films of 2016 and '17, ranging from musical comedies to historical dramatizations. In my personal opinion, the majority of these films have been engaging and interesting, but only one has inspired a second watching, and others have been genuinely difficult to get through. The most recent addition to the latter list would be the final film of the series, "Toni Erdmann". "Toni Erdmann" is the story of a driven career woman and the quirky father that turns her life upside down in a matter of days and manages to show her that a little humor never hurt anyone. Sounds like a real gutbusting, heartstring-pulling adventure, doesn't it? Well, most of the critics would have to agree "Toni Erdmann" is likely one of the highest rated films from the Foreign Film Series, recieving a 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, as well as a 7.5 out of 10 on IMDB, not to mention all the awards. This one film was nominated for 126 different awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Ines Conradi, played by Sandra Huller, BAFTA, and more than half of the nominations were for best film. Of the 126 award nominations, "Toni Erdmann" actually won 51. Reviewers all over the world have been all too eager to throw praise at the film, saying that movie-goers are in for a laugh out loud, thought provoking treat. A.O. Scott of the New York Times went so far as to claim that 'Toni Erdmann" was "By a wide margin the funniest almost-threehour German comedy you will ever see." Personally? I think that barely misses being an insult to German comedy, because there cannot be that many "almost-three-hour" German comedies. POLAND PETS MAKE LIFE BETTER! naked In film "Toni Erdmann." Blink and you might miss the genius I have no idea what I missed while watching the film, but it must have been something big, because there is no way I would rewatch this film, let alone nominate it for an Oscar. I have never minded a dramatic or thoughtful pause or lull in dialog, but when that lull lasts upwards of ten seconds, and the only payout is a middle-aged man putting in a set of glaringly false teeth? Call me crazy but that does not fit my definition of hilarious. The characters were hard to identify with as well, and may be that is because of my young age and lack of life experience, but they all seemed so humorless or shallow or COURTESY OF FWWEEKLY.COM just plain dull. Giving credit where credit is due In all fairness, the last half hour of the film was a complete departure from the rest of the somber attempts at comedy and was startlingly funny. However, when I say "startlingly", I do meant that. Seriously, if you are not in the mood to see a bunch of nude people awkwardly interacting after having already interacted awkwardly for two hours, just skip this one and come back hoping next year's Foreign Film Series has a better selection. That's what I'll be doing. This Week In History: The Los Angeles Riots: Civil unrest and violence RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu The Los Angeles Riots are one of the most contentious and heavily debated events of the civil rights movements in the 90's. In the United States, there has been a history of tensions between law enforcement and ethnic minorities, and that issue is once again coming to the forefront of American politics. Often times, when we look back into history we are able to clearly define people and events as good or bad. The Los Angeles Riots are a grey area of recent American history and a sad reminder of why civil rights are so important. Excessive force Anyone who keeps up with recent news has heard this debate quite frequently as of late—how much force is too much force? This was the cast in the arrest of an African American man named Rodney King in 1992. Rodney King had been beaten continuously for over a minute by four officers. They claimed they had already tried to subdue him once and that he had thrown them off. The beating was the only part that was caught on video, however, and the jury, which was mostly white, chose to acquit the officers on April 29,1992. Soon, over three hundred individuals had gathered outside the courthouse to protest the acquittal of the policemen. Deadly force Tensions between the police and the African American community were just one of the causes of the riots. In 1991, a Korean shop owner shot a young African American girl that she believed was stealing a bottle of juice from her store. The shopkeeper shot her after the girl struck her, killing her before the police arrived. It was an example of deadly force that was used against minorities for minor crimes. The shopkeeper was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and fined $500, serving no time behind bars. This was one of the many things that led to tension between the African American community of Los Angeles and the growing Korean population. It also demonstrated the failure of the law to protect the African American community. The tensions these events caused were just two small parts of a much larger web of injustice. The lack of conviction of the police officers was just the final straw that broke the camel's back. The riots The riots included looting, assault and arson among other crimes and much of the violence was law enforcement against African Americans and African Americans against Koreans. The circumstances that led up to the riots were just as awful as the aftermath. 63 were dead, over 2,300 were injured, and over 12,000 were arrested. Koreans experienced unprecedented levels of violence directed at them in the days of rioting and received little protection from the police. The California National Guard and military were both called to put an end to the rioting. The Los Angeles Riots are an example of why police-minority relations are still strained. The failure of communities to address this issue and bring about change can end in disaster. The riots only occured after tensions finally boiled over. The Los Angeles Riots are an emotional reminder that ethnic minorities in the United States have had a long and difficult history in our country and that the demand for change cannot be ignored.

Yet, despite all the alarums raised against the companies, our Chancellor Debbie Ford seems much too eager to welcome them here with open arms. Walker and other wealthy interests—businesses and politicianskeep proclaiming this deal will bring about a stimulation of the Wisconsin economy like nothing else before it. The promise of 13,000 jobs within the proposed Foxconn facility alone, plus 10,000 constructions jobs and interest from 500 businesses is most certainly an enticing idea because most assuredly, Wisconsin is suffering. The world is suffering. What they do not tell you is that these jobs are possible through questionable means to the point of honest reappraisal. The hacked-out deal calls for complete disregard of environmental regulations. Local newspapers have reported that air, water and land regulations are being discarded to accommodate for Foxconn's unhealthy requirements. The corporation is expected to pump an unsustainable amount of water from Lake Michigan for use in its facility—our clean drinking water—and will not be held accountable for fully returning their debt, and with no obligation to return it pollution free. There are also economic concerns. The proffered incentive package is now up to $4 billion to be paid to Foxconn as they work towards A Message from Nature: The zero waste lifestyle: a trendy illusion ADELANA AKINDES akindO01 @rangers. uwp. edu I first found out about the zero waste movement a few years ago after stumbling across a video on YouTube. The woman, Lauren Singer, had gone a year living a 'zero waste lifestyle' and all the waste she did produce was concealed within a single mason jar. She used homemade toothpaste, bamboo toothbrushes, reusable upcycled razors and glass jars instead of plastic tupperware. It seemed impossibly green, chic and eco-friendly. Zero waste thinking has its advantages, mainly by drawing constant attention to the issue of waste. By committing to a zero waste lifestyle, this awareness becomes instilled into everyday decisions and thoughts. One takes into consideration how much waste they "produce", how much is thrown away and what in their lives can be used more than once. One may learn to value things that last longer, that have more staying power in one's life and which are not easily disposed of. Yet the issue of waste cannot be solved from individual choices about what to buy. We can try navigating the market to find products that fit a zero waste standard: no plastic packaging, long their job creation mark. Where is this money coming from? The taxes that we are all paying. Economists expect Wisconsin's gross domestic product (GDP) to increase by $51 billion dollars, but that figure does not indicate impact on standard of living. What is likely going to happen is that the thousands of workers will not be paid their true worth to the company; the workers' value will be sent upwards towards managers and administrators, and the money made from us Wisconsin workers will be funneled overseas to the Taiwanese based company, benefiting wealthy interests at the hard-to-see detriment of Wisconsin laborers. Chancellor Ford and other education administrators at UWMilwaukee and Gateway seem to willfully ignore these considerations. In several press releases and reports, Chancellor Ford anticipates the need to provide Foxconn with a host of educated workers—a docile workforce. The question is why? This will look very good for the Chancellor and UW-Parkside's Administrations, won't it? This would lead to more revenue from further investment in the campus from outside sources. Some would argue is a good thing, but judging by how our administration handles our money—with actions like cutting programs and faculty while spending money on aesthetic projects like Wyllie Hall — further investment would not be set aside for the students and faculty who desperately need the funding. I urge the Chancellor to reconsider this partnership.

Yet when one goes grocery shopping with their reusable bags and mason jars, buying items in bulk, it is impossible to notice all of the other items, the wasteful, one-use items which are still the norm. It is the mindset of capitalism, hyperfocused on increasing profit, that is the root of the problem. It is this constant overarching system of overproduction and misuse of resources which ultimately needs to change for 'zero waste' to be a realistic vision. Simply because waste does not reside in your own home, does not make it any less of a reality somewhere else. No matter what the consumer chooses to do with the waste in their own home, it is still being made on a mass scale. The consumer is not the true producer of waste. When one wishes to rid one's life of plastic products for example, they are only navigating a maze. Whether you use plastic or not, it's still being produced and mass distributed on a grand and global scale. What the zero waste lifestyle does is bring to a person's attention the materials they use, where these materials come from, and where these materials are going. It is in this way that conscious consumerism is as an effective step for the consumer. Yet in order for any large-scale, long-term solutions to be made with environmental degradation, it is time for the true producers of waste, the giant corporations of this planet, to consciously consume.

Student media across the country threatened, especially in Kansas ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE SUNFLOWER CHANCE SWAIM, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF They lock doors. They steal newspapers from racks. They shoot high school magazines with rifles. They set them on fire. They confiscate cameras. They threaten to pull funding. "They" are censors, and you don't have to look far to find them. Last spring, administrators locked Hutchinson Community College's student newspaper staff out of its newsroom after a series of articles exposing administrative and faculty bullying. This year, Butler Community College's student newspaper had copies stolen from the racks when they printed a story about a football player's arrest for murder in another state. Eisenhower High students burned and shot copies of a student publication that featured an illustration of a Ku Klux Klan member as a Trump supporter. Shawnee Mission North student journalists had cameras confiscated by a principal for covering a protest with which he disagreed. Emporia State's student government cut its student newspaper budget following an outstanding series of investigative stories uncovering sexual misconduct by a faculty member. The examples listed above have all happened to student journalists and their publications in Kansas in the past year. But the problem is not unique to Kansas. Student newsrooms across the country have come under increased threats this year, including The Sunflower, at a time when student newspapers are more important than Community Connections: Slay your finals with these awesome study tips KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu It is that time of the semester again. We are all struggling to earn good grades and finish the semester strong. There are a variety of things you can do, study tips you can try and resources you can utilize to help you achieve the grades you want and need. Do not let the end of the semester stress get you down. According to Deloitte Center for Higher Education Excellence, "Nearly one-third of undergraduates leave after their first year, and many require six years to complete their studies." That seems daunting, but you can be successful! It is important to get proper sleep, eat healthy, stay hydrated and manage your stress. You can handle your class work and tests. You must allocate your time effectively, develop good study habits and prepare for your tests. There are many helpful study tips. Cognitive scientists suggest alternating study places and switching between subjects. Forming study groups with your peers and making flash cards are great ways to study. The New York Times reported that consistent testing can help you to relearn information and recall it for your finals, so perhaps all those annoying tests are a good thing. ever to the communities they serve. But why now? Student newspapers have always covered controversial subjects. They've always had a rebellious streak and exposed wrongdoing, propelled by a strong sense of justice. They've always pissed off administrators and student governments. The question administrators and student governments across the country need to answer is why attempt to destroy something that's not broken — es pecially as its importance grows? As professional newspapers struggle to gain a foothold in the marketplace of the 21st century, many are undergoing, or have already undergone, the same corporate transformation other industries made decades ago. The same goes for universities. In some industries, like fast food, conformity maximizes efficiency and ultimately improves the product. For example, when McDonald's fries taste the same in Fresno, California, as they do in Wichita, that's good business. But when a newspaper in Wichita is the same as the newspaper in Fresno, California, you can be sure readers in neither location are being properly served. When corporate owners demand the same conformity from newspapers as fast food restaurants, the consequences are dire. Like newspapers, public universities are making a late transition from once-differing institutions to boxy, indifferent, bottom-line-obsessed corporate entities. As corporate universities become more alike, they must expend more money and effort on branding, insisting they're different from their competition — sim ilar to the Cola Wars between Pepsi and Coke. Student newspapers, protected by Effectively using your time is often hard. For each college credit you are taking it is recommended you spend 2 to 3 hours studying per week. Sometimes you have to get creative to fit that all in. Do things like bringing those handy flash cards you made to review in your downtime. Just remember to take breaks as well, because after 90 minutes of studying you will have a hard time focusing. Do not be afraid to take naps, because a sleepy brain is a slow brain. Test anxiety is a common issue. If you are experiencing test anxiety and it is negatively affecting your performance at school, you should get evaluated. There are accommodations available if you qualify. Some examples of accommodations are extended test time and testing in a quiet room.

Krystal Dodge is a junior majoring in psychology. the First Amendment and relatively insulated by sustainable funding through student fees from the corporate forces hamstringing local newspapers, are caught in the middle of this madness. But the sustainable funding that insulates student newspapers, like The Sunflower, from the corporate decisions diminishing local newspapers and universities across the country is in jeopardy. The First Amendment protections afforded student newspapers, too, have come under threat. Student newspapers are now at a crossroads: do they continue bravely and independently serving their readers free from corporate influence and brand-building demanded by their intersecting industries — h igher education and newspapers — o r do they conform, sell their souls, and help build the brand of their schools in exchange for student fees. For The Sunflower, this crossroads was clearly laid out in an email from an administrator. It was said we could not operate "without bias or control from anyone" because we receive student fees. The answer for The Sunflower, and other ethical student newspapers across the country, is simple. A newspaper functioning as a publicrelations arm of the university, suppressing confrontational coverage and giving a false impression of reality, is worse than no newspaper at all. Student newspapers serve a vital role in our democracy and occupy a special place in our society that allows the truth to determine its coverage — n ot its profitability. In these tough times for student journalists, The Sunflower supports all student publications as they fight for their right to report the truth.

He proudly wobbled onto the ballroom stage to collect his award. "It's great to finally be..." Daniel stated, before holding a hand to his temple. "Excuse me," he resumed, adjusting his Top Gun aviator glasses. "I have to go to the bathroom." He then disappeared for the remainder of the event. Another underdog win came for Jane B.

Announcing that the bill was far overdue, Bryce stressed the importance for it to be pushed through as promised. Second, he voiced his support for Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and pointed out the importance of taking care of the people that are here. Bryce proceeded to address cuts to legal immigration, for profit prisons, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the travel ban.

Anonymous announcement Anonymous letters sent out to addresses all across England in early March proposed to set April 3rd 2018 as "Punish a Muslim Day". As awareness of these notes circulated on social media and the announcement was reported through various news media outlets, concerns spread throughout the country, eventually spreading across the Atlantic. The announcements sounded alarms to communities throughout the states. The ill-intentioned flyers sparked worries in many U.S. cities and campus communities, including UW-Parkside. The issue was addressed in an e-mail from the Office of the Dean of Students, informing students and staff that the University Police would be monitoring the day's events and instructed recipients to report any inappropriate actions or threats to the police immediately.

Artist talks about latest "Them Boys" David Alekhuogie's multidisciplinary photography is now featured in the Fine Arts Gallery. COURTESY OF EVA STEINER David Alekhuogie (center) discusses and displays his work to his audience. KIARA FOX fox00034®rangers. uwp. edu David Alekhuogie's photography called "Them Boys" explores the bodies and states of (un)dress, as he exposes and subverts the meanings and mythologies that we ascribe to fashions and the bodies they simultaneously cloak and reveal. The photographs featured in this exhibition apply a type of printing called cyanotype, which uses salts and light to create a sort of "blueprint" of the piece. Who is he? Alekhuogie was born and raised from Los Angeles, California. He received his degrees from the School of Art Institute in Chicago and got his master at Yale in 2015. His work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times and Time Magazine. Over the years, he has worked in photography, sculpture, video and much more. Influence and inspiration Alekhuogie's biggest influence was Hiroshi Sugimoto, who traveled the world taking photos of seas, horizons and landscapes. Alekhuogie says, "Landscape is a big part of what I do and what I practice and how I became interested in photography." He goes on to say that he " think[s] all of the work in this show is about landscape." With this in mind, "Them boys" features the body as a landscape, and Alekhougie claims that the series revolves around "thinking about the body as an arena where people are sort of enacting a kind of cultural theater. Like what I feel like we are going through in this present day." What now? Alekhuogie has been studying classic sculptures and this is due to growing up playing sports. He talks about how he imagined Michael Jordan as a kind of hero and a character "like in a play that is flattened against our cultural conversation about him." Alekhuogie sees the sculptures as another type of hero. "Them Boys" looks at the ideas of race, culture, and politics. Alekhuogie turns his experiences into works of art that make you question what can be considered a "landscape". From sagging pants with Tommy Hilfiger underwear to the Nike swoosh, "Them Boys" is a collection of artwork that stands out. Group of students build home over spring break Habitat for Humanity members traveled to Alabama to work on project KIARA FOX fox00034Grangers, uwp.edu While some students went on vacation over spring break and others caught up on homework, UW-Parkside's Habitat For Humanity went to Mobile, Alabama, to help build a home for a deserving family. The local chapter UW-Parkside's Habitat for Humanity is just one of the many chapters in the organization. The organization as a whole has a mission to serve communities by providing every man, woman and child with a decent, safe and affordable place to live, and UW-Parkside's Habitat for Humanity focuses on serving the people of Racine and Kenosha counties.They also help build and remodel homes and raise awareness for homelessness, poverty, and other specific needs in the community. The program According to Marley Uran, the President of UW-Parkside's Habitat for Humanity, "This program is not simply a free, give away house program. Families must help build their home or have family/friends help. In addition, they pay a mortgage on the home. However, the housing costs are significantly lower than an average house on the market thanks to volunteers and donors." Making a difference Fifteen students got the chance to make a difference nationally. For this project, UW-Parkside students worked on several aspects of housing structure, such as roofing, windows and doors. Not only did this work help communities in Mobile, but it could also help the local communities here in Racine and Kenosha. Uran said, "Students can bring back this knowledge into their own community to implement change." To join the team, contact Marley Uran at uran0001@rangers. uwp.edu.

Third graders seek answers about mammoths Bose Elementary students sent letter inquiries to anthropology students at UW-Parkside AUSTIN KRIEGER krieg004Grangers, uwp. edu Third grade students at Bose elementary school in Kenosha have been learning about mammoths and how scientists have been attempting to bring mammoths back through genetic engineering. Over 50 students from the third grade class wrote letters filled with questions about mammoths and what humanity would do if mammoths were brought back. Receiving the questions Dr. Gillogly, a professor in anthropology, received an email from the third grade teacher at Bose elementary who was hoping that some of their students could have their questions answered by real anthropologists. Dr. Gillogly then reached out to Nathan Gray, vice president of the anthropology club, and fellow students in the club to help respond to these letters. The anthropology club responded individually to the letters with the help of four students, Dr. Gillogly and Dr. Sasso of the anthropology department. The right people to ask Dr. Sasso often references mammoths in his archaeology courses, specifically a very well known mammoth excavation in Kenosha known as the Schaefer site. With the knowledge between the club's students and advisors, the letters were answered accurately about how mammoths lived during their time on Earth. Gray and the anthropology club hope that by answering these questions, it will help sustain these students' interests in fields such as anthropology and archaeology. The club hopes to pave the way for future students in the fields they are earning degrees in now. RANGER R ADIO The Top 5 most played albums during the week of April 8, on WIPZ 101.5 FM: 1.

China's One Child Policy Is Being Phased Out KRYSTALDOOGE (hofnOOeOrang9rs.uwp.edu On April 3. Dr. Fuxiam Yi. Senior Scientist from UW-Madison gave a presentation on China's one child policy. Yi discussed the history of the policy, changes made recently and what he foresees happening in the future. It has been a topic of controversy for decades. Yi has played a great part in repealing the One Child Policy. The policy was based on inaccurate research and the fear of a population explosion. In 2014. the Selected Two Child Policy was implemented in specific regions. In 2016. it converted to the Open Two Child Policy for the whole country. In March 2018.

THREATS: Exposes under discussed issues discussion on ways to confront the divisive and destructive nature of religious and racial discrimination. UW-Parkside student Mohamed Mursal commented, "We all know it's a problem. Why don't we talk about it more? One thing that could help the situation is if non-Muslims would begin to speak up about the issue to get people's attention. It would also be good to have open classes where people have the opportunity to actually learn about other religions to find out what the core of the beliefs are." Mursal suggests that more community conversation and educational opportunities would help dispel false notions about the Muslim religion and to build a stronger, more diverse community. Article editorial As disappointing as it is that "Punish a Muslim Day" is somehow a real topic of conversation, despite how utterly asinine the idea is on basically every level, it exposes otherwise under discussed issues of discrimination and can inspire groups and individuals to oppose it more directly. Every member of the campus community has the power to reject expressions of hate as intolerable or to allow them to permeate our culture. Let's be mindful of the space we create here and brave nonviolent confrontation of less-than inclusive words or actions in our classrooms, dorms, cafeterias and off-campus conversations. #YouAreWelcomeHere MUSLIM Aprii 2018 COURTESY OF OSBriHELGAZETTE VIA TWITTER A list of pro posed hate acts against Muslims was sent across England in Mar .

HOLLACEVILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu On March 21 "s episode of "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver", the host of the show spent a portion of time discussing Vice President Mike Pence's views on LGBT rights. At the end of the show, he told the audience that Pence's pet bunny, Marlon Bundo, had a book written about him by one of Pence's daughters, which was hitting bookstores that week. However, John Oliver also had a book about the Bunny Of The United States (BOTUS) up his sleeve. A day to remember Written by Jill Twiss and illustrated by EG Keller, "A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo" was almost painfully cute as Marlon Bundo narrated his day, hopping through the gardens and falling in love with a neighboring boy bunny named Wesley. The bunnies hop together through the lawn, through the house, and through some "very boring meetings with very boring people." When they decided that they never wanted to hop with anyone else again, Marlon and Wesley decided to get married. The Stinkbug, an obvious caricature of Mike Pence, opposed the marriage. However, when they put the marriage to a vote with all of Marlon's animal friends and neighbors, their marriage won out. They were allowed to be married. Beautifully written The book is sincerely delightful, despite having been initially written as a joke. The use of repetition and rhythm work wonderfully and the illustrations are charming, with funny little details thrown in (such as a stinkbug emblazoned on The Stinkbug's podium). While this book was short, it has made an impact. The book is currently sold out on Amazon, with over 180,000 copies sold within 48 hours (Pence's book has sold 100,000 copies to date). The Audible version has a starstudded voice cast, consisting of Jim Parsons, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jeff Garlin, Ellie Kemper, John Lithgow, Jack McBrayer and RuPaul. The book is restocked and currently for sale online, so be sure to pick up a copy, as all proceeds from "A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo" are going to the Trevor Project and AIDS United.

NEXTLEVEL GAMING ONLINE EVAN MACINTOSH macinO01 @rangers. uwp. edu Historically, the "Star Wars: Battlefront" games have been lauded for their large-scale ground and space battles with rather enjoyable game play. However, with this last installment in the series, "Battlefront II", there has been a lot of animosity and negative feelings floating around involving the series. Predominantly, it stems from EA and their inane comments defending the game and its, initially absurd, progression system which consequently ruined the loot system. Had EA not fumbled with this, the game would have been perceived in a far less negative light than it was. Mechanics The class system in this game is very reminiscent of many shooters today, in that there are several weapons to choose from and many bonuses to apply to one's character. This is well and good, but because of this, there can be some strange ambiguity within a given class and even between classes. In addition, certain aspects of the characters, namely the heroes, feel very coarse and insufficiently thought-out. Specifically, the lightsaber combat feels very rudimentary, as if the characters are without technique, swinging baseball bats. Had they gone back to their roots for this second "reboot," mirroring the iconic rigid classes and refined mechanics of the other games, I would have had significantly less problems with the way the classes play as it would have made the multiplayer more entertaining Atmosphere One thing about this game that is much more solid and pleasing than the other parts is the visual and audio elements. If there is one facet of "Battlefront II" that captures the magic of "Star Wars", it is the game's blend of music and sound design. The music, while not composed by John Williams, is still a sound track that most certainly belongs in a piece of "Star Wars" media. The sounds of the blasters, soldiers, environments and vehicles are undoubtedly reminiscent of "Star Wars" as well. This is a boon because they are the most significant pieces of the game's world. Without a doubt, the game's loyal atmosphere COURTESY OF BAGOGAMES VIA FLICKR is the single biggest contribution to my final score for this game. Entertainment value While this is a "Battlefront" title, it feels too much like a "Battlefield" title, another franchise by the developer DICE. While the pacing of the action is nice, the frustration that can arise from an opposing player having a blatantly better weapon/upgrade is quite prominent. Many of my game play sessions lasted less than half an hour; I needed to take breaks because the competitive balancing is so awful. This infuriating multiplayer experience and brief, weak single-player campaign blend into a piece of failed entertainment that I cannot recommend.

April 18,2018 THE RANGER NEWS CULTURE | 5 From Robin Williams to "The Rock" ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp.edu As someone who grew up watching and rewatching "Jumanji", I was cautiously optimistic at the thought of a reboot, because in recent years, film and TV have not had a stellar record in the reboot department. Granted, when revamping old favorites, it is impossible to satisfy everyone, but one surefire way keep fans of the original happy is to keep what made the original good while adding a fresh spin. In the beginning, there was a board game The original "Jumanji", released in 1995 and starring the genius that was Robin Williams, introduced audiences to a vague and dangerous world hidden inside of a seemingly innocent board game. However, those drawn in by the pounding of drums soon realized that Jumanji itself is not so harmless. Complete with killer mosquitos, African bats and the looming threat of being sucked into the game itself, "Jumanji" was a thrill ride for the ages. That being said, I have a feeling that a heavy cloud of nostalgia may be influencing my opinions, to a point. At its core "Jumanji" was about finding your inner strength, learning to trust the people around you and finishing what you start—and yes 1 might be reaching here, but just go with me for a minute. Assuming 1 am not over-romanticizing one of my favorite childhood movies, and there really were deeper themes of self-realization, it is time to see how well the 2017 reboot stands up. Was it lost in translation? The first point to evaluate would be the plot. The original movie was not too heavy on plot, which was to finish the game. The reboot expands this by turning Jumanji into a video game and giving it a rough story about retrieving a powerful jewel. Giving the game an actual story and setting opens up the possibilities of extended universes and future sequels, though I t hink perpetuating the "Jumanji" franchise could have "Final Destination"-like effects. The second point would be the characters. In the original, the relationships between characters start off shaky and become more cemented as they help each other survive. "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" followed the same principle, only the characters were all the same age and had a basic knowledge of each other before the game began. Their personalities, while relatively r 1 ' - w > i l # > 1 1 & .i »' *1 1 f . COURTESY OF WWW.SPACE.CA Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the most recent "Jumanji 2" generic and stereotypical for teenagers, were fleshed out well enough, and this made their being trapped in adult bodies rather amusing. The chemistry between actors was fluid and each had their own funny quirks, but by far, the best performance had to be from Jack Black. I'm sure it is not the easiest thing to play a teenage, technologyobsessed girl trapped in an overweight man's body, but if anyone can do it, high-pitched voice and all, it is Jack Black. It was also funny to see Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson almost making fun of themselves and the types of characters they would normally play. Most notably when Johnson, as Smolder Bravestone constantly flinches away from danger and makes use of his smolder, or when Hart as Franklin "Mouse" Finbar constantly complains about his short stature. The delicate reboot balance My final note for the time being would be the references to the original film. Reboots and sequels walk a fine line between paying tribute, blatantly copying and totally diverging from the source material. The 2016 "Ghostbusters" simply recycled the first film's plot and added in some new jokes, making it predictable and a little disappointing. The 2016 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" abandoned the original show's style and went for explosions over the ninja-like stealth. But "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle", in my personal opinion, managed to walk the line well, paying homage while still keeping it fresh. This Week In History: PEIlANP PET$MAKBllFE tiring today! The Titanic: A Tragedy at Sea RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most famous shipwrecks in history, occurring early in the morning of April 15,1912, and resulting in over 1,500 deaths due to improper safety regulations. The Titanic's construction lasted two full years, spanning from 1909 to 1911, and was heralded as the most advanced ship to date, a true luxury vessel. It contained new technology, such as watertight bulkhead compartments, and could carry nearly 2,500 passengers each trip with almost 900 crew members. So what went wrong? Departure The Titanic departed from Southampton, England, on April 10,1912. It was set to make several stops along the way to its destination of New York and was all the buzz, being the largest ship ever built. Many of those aboard the Titanic were wealthy elites, officials and celebrities, though out of the three classes, the third class passengers made up the bulk of the riders, totalling over 700. When it departed, the number of souls on board, crew included, was about 2,240. Spotting the ice The first three days of the voyage were calm and presented little problems. It was not until April 14 that the Titanic crew began to receive reports about ice from nearby ships. Around 11:30, out of the fog, the crew spotted a large iceberg and sounded the alarms. The ship made a quick turn, and to the passengers on the deck, it appeared that the danger had been narrowly avoided. Unfortunately, beneath the surface of the water, the Questions about our culture articles? Contact Hollace Villarreal. villa068@rangers.uwp.edu. Culture Events iceberg had caused a nearly 300-foot wide slash below the waterline of the ship.When the captain and crew went to investigate the damage and saw what had happened, evacuation began. Evacuation was haphazard and poorly planned. There were 16 lifeboats and four inflatables on the ship, which could only carry 1,100 passengers if loaded to full capacity, which was far less than the number of passengers on the ship. Despite it being woefully inadequate, this did surpass British safety requirements at the time. The first lifeboat was lowered with a mere 28 people out of the 65 it was designed to fit and multiple boats after also faced similar capacity problems. The captain estimated that the boat would only stay afloat one and a half hours maximum, but luckily for those on board, it floated for three. Safety Hazards The Titanic's state-of-the-art watertight bulkheads were faulty, as the walls that separate compartments from one another were only a few feet above water level, meaning that if the ship tipped, water would pour over the top of one wall and into the next compartment. The front of the ship became unbalanced when this exact scenario occurred and began to sink faster than the rest of the ship. At 2:20 am, the ship finally sank with some crew still left aboard and many of the lower class passengers having never escaped to the lifeboats. When those who had escaped to the lifeboats were rescued, only 705 survived. The Titanic serves as a sad reminder of human error and the importance of safety standards and regulations.

Three days after denouncing Assad and his allies, Trump wrote, "Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all!" on Twitter. "Not so soon at all" seems to suggest that a response may never occur. of The Ranger News. Turning to ignorance: TPUSA Parkside s newest student org has suspect origins RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Turning Point USA is a college conservative group with over 1,000 chapters across our nation, and it is dedicated to educating young conservatives about fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government. They are known for pulling interesting stunts on campuses to promote their organization, but not without some good old incendiary actions to cause a bit of controversy. They claim to promote free speech and have posters that read things like "Socialism: ideas so good they have to be mandatory ""Taxation is theft" and "The Real Free Speech Zone", paired with images such as police officers with batons about to attack a citizen,. The organization has been under fire multiple times in the past for illegal campaign activity and racial bias and have their very own "Professor Watch List", which consists of professors who disagree with conservatives. It sounds like something HUAC would have done in the 1930's Red Scare. As of recently, we have gotten our very own chapter of this organization at UW-Parkside. I would like to start by saying that I do enjoy the idea of free speech and the free speech ball on campus was a lovely idea. I participated by writing "respect should be the default" on it. When I was asked about what I had wrote on the ball by a fellow classmate, the first thing to come out of his mouth in response was "No. Respect should be earned." I was somewhat baffled that his response to my opinion was "no", so I explained why I believe respect ought to be the default and could be lost. He responded by telling me that he wrote on the ball that "life was hard and people needed to get over it". I was at a loss for words as I walked away, nearly late to class. On my journey back to class, I was somewhat stumped. As an organization that promotes free speech, why did this person not understand what free speech was and that I was entitled to my opinion about respect? Why did he tell me "no"? This is an example of how now, and in the past, this person has thought of free speech as something only he is entitled to, criticising and policing everyone else's opinions. This demonstration fell flat in the regard of educating people such as this classmate. He used the ball to argue other people's opinions, not respect them. I will admit I do lean left, but TPUSA is yet another disheartening disappointment of an organization that could actually lend some legitimacy to the conservative movement. Obviously, their reputation precedes them from protesting safe spaces with a grown man wearing a diaper, to having one of their own members of color expose them for internal racism. If TPUSA cannot educate college students on the simple principle of what free speech means, how do they expect to educate anyone about the values of being conservative? I'd like to welcome our own chapter of TPUSA to the campus but warn them: be cautious in the way you proceed with your education because plenty of chapters in other schools have left a lot to be desired and made a mockery of your organization. I hope you can do better. Rory Larson is a senior majoring in history. The Conservative Ranger Governor Scott Walker's accomplishments Questions about opinions, editorials? Contact Ethan Costello, mitoOl 2@ran>>ers.uwp.edu. JIMMY GRAHAM graha028@rangers. uwp. edu In October of 2017, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced that he would be running for a third term. During his first two terms, Governor Walker has achieved much. From historically low unemployment to freezing college tuition, the governor has greatly impacted the state of Wisconsin for the better. Under Scott Walker's leadership, Wisconsin has achieved 2.9 percent unemployment, the lowest in the state's history. The last time the state unemployment was nearly that low was in 1999 under Republican Governor Tommy Thompson. Also, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Wisconsin is ranked number six out of all 50 states for lowest unemployment. In 2014, under Governor Walker, the bottom state income tax rate was lowered from 4.4 percent to 4.0 percent. This adjustment has help put more money into the pockets of many Wisconsin residents. The Governor has also tried to help lower taxes for individuals by softening the marriage penalty. Before Walker, the marriage penalty made it so that individuals who filed their taxes jointly ended up paying more in taxes than they would have if they filed independently. Along with lower income taxes, many corporations and businesses have benefitted from manufacturing and agricultural tax credit benefits under Scott Walker. These benefits have helped businesses expand and have helped in creating jobs. Currently, Scott Walker's administration has put more money into K-12 education than ever before. An extra $200 has been put forth for every student, and an additional $204 increase per student is planned for this coming year. As a result, Wisconsin's ACT scores are some of the highest in the country. On top of that, Wisconsin's graduation rate is one of the best in the country. One the biggest things the Governor has done that has impacted college students is freezing college tuition for all undergraduate students. For the past six years, tuition has been frozen in Wisconsin. This freeze has helped make college more affordable for many students. Along with the tuition freeze, Wisconsin's government is also working with financial institutions to help college graduates refinance their student loans. The aforementioned actions are only a few of Scott Walker's accomplishments. I am in support of what the Governor has done in Wisconsin. Personally, I will support the Governor in the 2018 election. Also, I would encourage anyone who likes the direction our state is going in to also vote for the governor in the upcoming election.

JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers, uwp.edu A probable chemical attack was carried out in Syria by President Assad's forces last Saturday, April 7, in the city of Douma. That city has seen much violence since the beginning of Syria's still-ongoing civil war in 2011, but the apparent chemical attack has brought unprecedented brutality to Douma. Chemical weapons are banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention; Syria is ostensibly part of that convention, yet it continues to use chemical weapons. The President talks back The Syrian government's actions have garnered international condemnation. U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter to voice his ire, claiming "President Putin, Russia, and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad" and also threatening that they would have a "big price to pay." He has suggested that price may be more cruise missile attacks. The implications of action Taking no military action at all for the attack is certainly the best option. There is no reason to believe another volley of cruise missiles will persuade Assad any more than the last time the U.S. did it, and there is reason to believe that a stronger response—whatever that may entail— could put US forces in direct combat against Russian and Iranian troops. Further deterioration of relations COURTESY OF EN.KREMLIN.RU President Assad is accused by the U.S. of using chemical weapons against his own people and tensions between U.S. aliies and Russian allies is rising. Community Connections: Take pride in LGBTQ resources KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu There are many resources available for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) students on campus and in the community. UW-Parkside has strived to be a safe place. Attitudes have gotten better towards LGBTQ students, but there is still room for improvement. UW-Parkside has a LGBTQ Resource Center on campus in Wyllie Hall. The mission statement says, "The mission of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside LGBTQ Resource Center is to provide a safe, inclusive, and comfortable environment on campus for LGBTQ and Allied students, faculty, staff, and community." It has books, movies, and informational material available. The center also hosts things like Queer Thanksgiving, Safe Zone Training, Lavender Celebration—which honors graduating members of the LGBTQ community— and educational events. Safe Zone Training was created to reduce homophobia and heterosexism on campus. It is a series of training totaling approximately 4.5 hours. This training is a great way for faculty, staff and students leaders to show their support of the LGBTQ community. They are currently working on training dates for the Fall 2018 semester. In addition to the LGBTQ Resource Center, Rainbow Alliance is a studentlead organization that advocates for supporting and educating about those whose sexuality, gender, romantic orientation and/ or gender expression does not conform to traditional norms. They provide educational events as well as social events. The meetings are every Wednesday at noon in the LGBTQ Resource Center. with either state could mean disaster for the U.S. and the world. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis spoke on April 12 in the Pentagon, attempting to temper Trump's words and calling for more deliberation on how and why the U.S. should respond. About the U.S.'s strategy in Syria, he stated that the they were trying to "stop the murder of innocent people, but on a strategic level it's how do we keep this from escalating out of control." Mattis is referring to the tensions between the U.S. and Syria's allies, Iran and Russia. An uncertain future Mattis has had a long military career and was a major general in the Iraq War, so his advice is informed by much experience. The world is in a dangerous order. Trump even wrote on Twitter, "Our relationship with Russia is worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War." Trump is trying to say the right thing, but his knowledge of recent history is clearly lacking—the two nations' discourse has grown increasingly accusatory, but they are hardly aiming ICBMs at each other. As US military officials are attempting to reverse (or at least delay) Trump's military response, it is becoming less clear what that response may look like or if it may arrive at all. The UK and France too are weighing military action. One can only hope the West's leaders tread lightly in Syria. Joseph Canning is a junior majoring in computer science.

Ranger Bear's latest victim HOLLACE V1LLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu When we last left off, this Bearly News reporter was trapped, along with our Private Eye, T. Ruxpin, inside the basement of Ranger Bear's den. We had just recognized missing students scattered across his walls. Then, we stared deep into Ranger Bear's mouth, into the eyes of a trapped individual. "There's someone trapped inside Ranger Bear," T. Ruxpin told the Bearly News in hushed tones as we hid behind a couch, "We need to free them." The Bearly News reminded T. Ruxpin that we are a media organization and that we do not get into the affairs that we report on, as that would create a bias and a moral grey area. T. Ruxpin made no comment and slowly crept closer to the beloved mascot. Ranger Bear was moving through the house-cave, tilting his head upwards as if he were sniffing the air. T. Ruxpin froze. This reporter leaned up to snap a picture of the bear in action, but was tackled to the ground by T. Ruxpin, rendering the photograph useless. "Do you want to get us killed?" T. Ruxpin asked, his voice a low hiss. This reporter could not answer, as this is not an opinion piece. Ranger Bear sniffing out his prey: us. Ranger Bear seemed to have been alerted by the noise and the flash. He stomped over to us, dirt from the floor shaking with every step. T. Ruxpin and this reporter held our breath, trying to hide. It was futile. Ranger Bear stood in front of us, glaring down behind his sewn-on eyes. "Who are you?" The Bearly News asked, holding up a recorder to the Bear. All we received is an COURTESY OF THE ARCHIVIST audio recording of heavy breathing. However, he did take off his mask to reveal: The face of Ranger Bear Professor Carpwitz, the advising professor for The Bearly News and "Feralglow", the school's literary magazine. "Is this why you've been missing meetings?" The Bearly News asked, shaky hand holding out the recording device. The professor did not speak, but instead turned to T. Ruxpin. "You've shown school spirit," Ranger Bear said. The Bearly News would like to disclaim that, though we now knew that Professor Carpwitz was inside the suit, he still did not move his mouth to speak. The voice seemed to be coming from the head of the costume, held out in the professor's hands. The Bearly News would also like to point out the extraordinary school spirit that T. Ruxpin had displayed in the past, including going to a sports game once a semester, attending an after-class activity once a month, and going to the Bridge for free food every day at noon. In more recent times, he happened to be wearing a Parkside hoodie on School Spirit Day. By all accounts, he was wild about our fine institution. A new Ranger Bear "You have been granted the honor of becoming Ranger Bear," Ranger Bear said, lowering the head onto the shocked T. Ruxpin. This reporter took this distracted opportunity to run to the bedroom, locking the door. Hopefully the editor of the Bearly News can receive this, and the artists rendition of the bear I have included, in time for help to arrive.

The Rangers won a thrilling game one 7-6 but dropped game two 9-3. Game one was a rollercoaster with four lead changes, including a go-ahead run in the top of the ninth inning for Parkside.

In the top of the third inning, the Rangers capitalized a Lewis mistake, as Bittenbender laid down a sacrifice bunt and Sramek came in to score on an error. Later in the inning, Paul Weise hit an RBI single that score Bittenbender to make it 3-0. Lewis bounced back to take the lead in the bottom of the third inning, scoring four runs as the first four batters reached in the inning. Parkside didn't stay down long, with an RBI double by Sramek and an RBI single by Bittenbender to take the lead right back in the top of the fourth inning.

NAOMI DORNFELD the resolution is a mostly symbolic dornfOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu With the repeal of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) an administrative protection against deportation of eligible immigrant youth, many students across the country face the daunting risk of displacement. In response to the threat this poses to UW-Parkside DACA recipients, Parkside Student Government leaders have begun discussing how to best address the issue. Symbol of solidarity Parkside Student Government Vice President Keough Lemieux affirms the need for action to take place, but also considers the possible negative consequences of declaring UW-Parkside as a "Saftct'u-" • ary School", since it could draw unwanted attention and increase potential risk for DACA recipients. Considering the issue's complexity, Keough states, "UW-Parkside DACA recipients are a tremendous asset to our community. For now, statement that we stand with DACA recipients and the organization will hopefully be taking more steps forward in the future." Current resolution As of March 22,2018, the resolution states the following: Parkside Student Government, stands with "undocumented Youth and DACAmented" individuals in an effort to help maintain UW-Parkside's climate of diversity and inclusivity, supports, and informs about DACA by creating programs and to incorporate our campus as a safe zone that protects all of those who would be impacted by the repeal of DACA. This initial resolution will be sent to campus administrators. A slightly modified version may be in the works to send to off-campus organizations in the greater Southeast Wisconsin community. Thoughts from senate Parkside Student Government Senator Sarah Myer expressed her thoughts on the decision after the original document revisions, saying, "with the edits that have been made to first and by adding specification, we have made it a good first resolution." Nodding in agreement, Senator Loveneet Sidhu added, "I support the resolution that is a work in progress right now because it highlights a real concern. It is an issue that students who attend UW campuses are facing and it does need to be brought to light." Although standing in support of the current resolution, Loveneet calls for the need to act with caution, adding, "We want to help, not hurt, DACA recipients, so we are seeking more information before we move ahead." The Parkside Student Government resolves to stand in solidarity with DACA recipients and continues to brainstorm the more effective approach to make UW-Parkside a safe space, indiscriminately. Professor releases newest book on J.D. Salinger Josef Benson examines legacy of classic work, uncovers unsettling writing style HOLLACE VILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu Unsurprisingly, Josef Bensonassistant professor of English and director of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at UW-Parkside—has a knack for the written word. After his first book about hypermasculinity in novels was published in 2014, Benson has been hard at work producing his next project. Benson's newest book, published on March 12, "J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: A Cultural History", explores themes from the classic "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger and the way that it has been adored by readers for over fifty years. With that, he dives into the personal experiences of J.D. Salinger to provide textual context. An all-time favorite Professor Benson claims that'The Catcher in the Rye" had always been among his favorite books, and says, "I first read the book when 1 was 16, actually. I loved it at the time, it was...the book that got me into writing and got me into literature. I was pretty much hooked after I read that." Discussing the significance of his most recent publication, Benson stated, "I think [Salinger's life] is an important part of the story. I went for years and years and years loving the novel and not knowing the details of Salinger's life that inform the book." An in-depth look "Catcher in the Rye" serves as a criticism on liberalism, and, on that note, Benson claims that "there's too much whining and not enough activism," Because of this, he states that the book can be considered dangerous because of its "potential for change." It is seen as a radical, progressive novel, and because o this, he says that "the book has been widely taught, but it has also been widely banned." With the research that Benson has done on Salinger's private life, he uncovered personal ties to "Catcher in the Rye" that added a new perspective to how the book is perceived. He stated, "these facts about Salinger's life are rarely known, but they are crucial to understand the novel, from his Jewishness to his love of women. I did not set out to COURTESY OF EVA STEINER Josef Bensen in his office, CART 232. slam Salinger, because I'm a huge fan of his work, but what I found out was very unsettling and also very interesting in regard to how he wrote." Benson's book was published on Amazon on March 12, and is available in hardcover. With the new spin on a literary classic, "J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: A Cultural History", is sure to cause as much impact as its inspiration.

OPINION Experience the outdoors! Upcoming bio lab highlights UW-Parkside's handson approach Dr. Catherine Mossman discussed an upcoming lab in her BIOS-102 class JOSEPH CANNING canniOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside is regionally eminent for the comprehensive and effective courses offered by its College of Natural and Health Sciences. In particular, the pre-med program, applied health sciences major and the biological science major are well-respected and attract numerous students looking for affordable, quality education to the university. The Ranger News spoke with Dr. Catherine Mossman, a biology professor at UW-Parkside who is been at the university for over 17 years, about an upcoming lab in her organismal biology course and how it highlights what makes UW-Parkside special. An enduring lab Dr. Mossman will be conducting the BIOS-102 lab on April 16 that involves experiments with isopods—more commonly known as roly-polies or pi 11-bugs—regarding their behavior under various conditions. The lab has students place the isopods in what Mossman called "choice-chambers," white blocks with four isopod-sized chambers carved into them that connect at the center. One experiment places an acidic substance in one chamber, a base in another, some water in the third chamber and nothing at all in the last one. The students then observe where the isopods move and infer their environmental preferences. Students must also come up with a hypothesis and experiment of their own for the lab. This lab has been conducted for more than a decade; Professor Mossman said it was "unusual for it to be so successful for so long." Its persistence likely has to with what it teaches students about animal behavior. Mossman claimed that "many students don't know about behavior as long-standing and having this evolutionary perspective." Similar behavior can often be observed across species. Working with living animals is also a rare opportunity for students. Mossman explained that once students move on to their upper-level classes, all the animals they get to work with are already dead.

Fighting for gender neutral bathrooms Rainbow Alliance proposes converting bathrooms to accommodate LGBT students KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside currently has three gender-neutral bathrooms which can be found in The Rita, Wyllie Hall and in the Student Center. It can be a hassle for the students to use the bathrooms because it is neither convenient nor accessible. Conflict regarding this issue has been on the rise due to "significant issues within the trans population at UW-Parkside where many people have had instances where other students are telling them that they are in the wrong bathroom and cannot be there," according to Elliot Michael, the Vice President of Rainbow Alliance. Rainbow Alliance Rainbow Alliance is a studentrun organization that welcomes all people. According to Krish Colon, president of the organization, says that Rainbow Alliance is "an organization that exists to advocate and support the LGBTQ students on campus and facilitate activities and events for educational and support purposes." In the past years, they have hosted many events on campus including a bake sale, a drag show, and a trans day remembrance vigil. Potential changes Unlike the family bathrooms that UW-Parkside currently has, the Earth Day Clean-up concludes Green Week Students called to positively impact the community, volunteer their time and "admire the Earth" KIAF1A FOX fox00034@rangers.uwp. edu The Environmental Club and Campus Activities and Engagement are having a Green Week in attempts to bring awareness to environmental issues that affect every student, which will conclude with an Earth Day Clean Up on April 21. Green Week In the past years, there have been events like Hug A Tree Day where students got the chance to hug a person dressed up like a tree. This event will also happen again this semester. Other events include We Heart Clean Water Wednesday, which will include a discussion about the benefits of living near the lake. There will also be a planter event that will give students an opportunity to bring a plant home. According to Autumn Hamilton, who is the chair of the Green Week committee and the President of The Environmental Club, Green Week is "a celebration and [creates] awareness of green related topics. It will bring awareness to local [environmental] topics as well as global ones. Make an impact Earth Day Clean Up will be a chance for students to go out in local communities and make a positive difference. Earth Day Clean Up is one of their biggest events and will mark the end of Green Week. Students will not only be able to physically clean up the Earth, "they will also get the chance to admire the Earth" Hamilton explains. This outdoor volunteering opportunity is unique because students get to interact with the outside world around them. The Environment Club will also be visiting other clubs and students can sign up at these events as well. For further information about Green Week and the Earth Day Clean up, contact Autumn Hamilton at hamil033@rangers.uwp.edu. By coming out to Earth Day Clean Up, students can gain volunteer hours while helping to clean up the environment. They can make a difference in the community while enjoying fresh air and the beauty that nature has to offer. BIOLOGY LAB: Interactive classroom experience The importance of handson learning Hands-on experience like this isopod lab afford students valuable experience with the scientific process and a refreshing change of pace from lectures. Mossman felt that UWParkside does an excellent job in providing students with substantial and useful labs. What she hears "year after year after year is how much "Many students don't know about [animal] behavior as longstanding and having this evolutionary perspective.9> students appreciate the hands-on experience." Labs provide a time for students to slow down and focus on accomplishing a specific task; usually students work in groups to better equip them for work in the professional realm. Mossman emphasized that lab-based instruction is a focus at UW-Parkside and something the school does well. BIOS-102 features a variety of other labs that allow students to discover the differences and similarities among the many different forms of life, though it is not the only class to benefit from lab-based instruction. Mossman said that she feels "a lot of pride in Parkside [because the faculty has] definitely put a lot of energy and resources not just into biology but across our CNHS to keep active, hands-on labs because it is just so important." Not all universities see the benefits of the hands-on approach; however, the professor said that the CNHS has noticed that "at some other schools, to cut costs, they take a course [like organismal biology) and make it a lecture-based course." As labs like Professor Mossman's show, UW-Parkside and its CNHS continue to strive to maintain a focus on hands-on learning and student engagement in the sciences. bathrooms that will be converted will have multiple stalls with the intention of reducing wait time. Rainbow Alliance is hoping that the locations would be more convenient for everyone. Ideally, several more bathrooms on campus could be changed as well. Student opinions The concept of gender-neutral bathrooms comes with many opinions about privacy and safety. Ahmad Qawi, a student, has mixed opinions about converting more bathrooms to gender-neutral ones. He says, "For transgender [people] or people struggling to come out, I feel that [the bathrooms] would be an open place for these individuals to feel comfortable and normal." Qawi likes the idea of adding more bathrooms, but he does not think that just anyone should be able to use these bathrooms. He thinks that problems of rape, invasion of privacy and health issues could arise from adding more gender-neutral bathrooms. Rainbow Alliance has just recently started the process to request these bathrooms. Over the next couple of semesters some big changes could be coming. The process is still in the early stages, and Rainbow Alliance has been drafting letters to send to the Dean of Students that outlines their plans. Student finds internship success Karol Lejmback encourages finding a job in field of interest Karol Lejmback DIANE OSTROWSKI ostro009@rangers. uwp.edu ZACHARY BEYER beyer020@rangers. uwp.edu While initially for medical school graduates, the concept of an internship is now very common across many other academic disciplines. Internships include any official or formal program that provides practical experience in an occupation or profession. Without one, a college experience is no longer considered complete. A transfer student from the College of Lake County in Grayslake, IL, Karol Lejmback, is completing his dual major in computer science and mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Parkside. He was able to achieve success on his first attempt when attending last October's Internship Fair. While Lejmback focused on only one item, the internship fair, it can be beneficial to look at other avenues. Conducting a multipronged approach broadens your reach, which increases the odds in favor of achieving your goal. This could be contacting your department head, or if available, the department internship advisor. Exploring the internship page under the Advising and Career Center is a great starting point and is packed with good content. Following the adage of dressing for success, Lejmback dressed professionally, in a shirt and tie with. dress pants and leather shoes. This presentation reinforced the cool confidence he wanted to project walking from table to table, and that was a good strategy. A contact from the Advising & Career Center shared, "Often, an internship search would mirror the job search graduates often complete." The internship experience can share the struggles found in a professional job search, such as not being able to connect with a solid contact or not finding a good fit between a company and the interested party. But when Lejmback wandered over and started talking with someone at one of the tables, he hit the jackpot. "I just sold myself as best I could,' he said. The person he chatted with turned out to be the CEO. Since the company primarily COURTESY OF ZACHARY BEYER : dual major in math, computer sci. provides software support, and hardware and software solutions for local businesses, their focus aligned well with his. Another tidbit Lejmback shared is to "look for weird places, corporate atmosphere isn't always the norm." When speaking about what he thought qualified him for this position, the first thing that Lejmback mentioned was his experience with running Linux operating systems followed by coding he has done relating to his coursework in computer science. He also felt he was good with clearly explaining tasks, quickly grasping the issue and effectively evaluating possible problems. His experience at Parkside tutoring others was attributed in developing and demonstrating these skills. So, here too Lejmback had an advantage. Having both formal studies and activity outside the classroom to bring to the table is helpful since it usually presents one as a strong candidate. He also says, "Go with a job that interests you." Other advice Lejmback would offer to those looking for internships include highly recommending looking for companies that are interesting as well as not expecting to find something that includes a salary, as his internship is unpaid. However, the lack of payment does not need to limit your opportunity. In this situation, if the position is open upon completion of his internship, they have discussed offering him a contract and should he accept it, the job would then be his.

April 4.2018 THE RANGER NEWS Briefs A moment of silence in Miami RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Students of Florida International University held a moment of silence foi the victims of a pedestrian bridge collapse on March 16. The bridge was newly completed near the campus, but a crack in the bridge caused some safety concerns before the bridge collapsed. Officials met three hours before the tragedy to discuss the crack and concluded that it did not affect the bridge's structural integrity. The 950 ton bridge collapsed over FIU's spring break, falling over cars stopped at a traffic light. It killed six people, ranging in age from 18-60 years old. As a show of solidarity and remembrance for the victims, students held a moment of silence at 1:47pm—which was when the bridge collapsed-on March 19. Chechnya's gay genocide kills hundreds RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu In April 2017, Novaya Gazeta published the first article addressing the gay genocide in Chechnya. Since then, the exact number of victims of the genocide continues to be unknown, but the number could be in the hundreds. When Novaya Gazeta first published their article, over a hundred men had been detained, and at least three were confirmed dead. Those detained were done so on suspicion and were taken by officials to be beaten, starved, shocked and sometimes even killed for their supposed crimes. The murders are believed to be rooted in an old custom of the region called "killing honor", in which someone who has brought shame upon their family is killed to absolve it. Governments worldwide have condemned Chechnya's actions, but the country's authorities responded that there were no gay men in Chechnya, therefore the accusations were false. The Russian LGBT Network has set up a hotline for those who are in danger of being detained and killed. Syria's ongoing conflict calls for response Pre-teens, journalists call for intervention amid social media violence NAOMI DORNFELD dornfO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On March 15, Syria's civil war entered its eight year. With the continued attack on Eastern Ghouta from the Syrian Government and the enduring factions of resistance across the country, there appears to be no end in sight. Amid the conflict, the Syrian people c all upon the world for response. Since its onset in 2011, there have been over 465,000 casualties and over 12 million people displaced from their homes across Syria. Throughout the ongoing conflict, every day citizens have taken to social media to share their experiences and to plead for the world's attention and their aid. Voices of the People Among the many young people utilizing public applications to broadcast statements and events in conflict-zones, two young girls, identifying as @Noor_and_Alaa on Twitter, post regular updates from the besieged enclave they are trapped in. On March 21,12-year-old Noor sent a message to the world: "There is nowhere to go from here, it seems to be the end somehow, If the international community want to save us it is time to do it now. #SaveGhouta #Ghouta #Syria" A freelance photojournalist from Syria by the username @amer_ almohibany posted on March 7, "We are annihilated in every sense of the word, pray for us. #EasternGhouta." Conversation on Campus In consideration of how University of Wisconsin - Parkside students can address this crisis as global citizens, Dr. Kate Gillogly, Geography and Anthropology Department Chair, and Dr. Simon Akindes, Political Science Professor, were invited to shared their views. When asked about what, if anything, could be done, Dr. Akindes shared details of the situation's complexity, admitting that there are limits to how UWParkside students can help Syria. He suggested, "either you advocate for refugees or you organize information sessions where people can talk about it and learn more, less subjected to propaganda of mainstream media." Also aware of the complexities of the Syrian war, Dr. Gillogly shared, "that could be me, fleeing war. Those are nice, ordinary people, and now they're homeless. For Syria, for anything, learn to put yourself in that position. Develop your ability to put yourself in their story. Learn empathy." Options to Engage Although the conflict in Syria appears distant and overwhelmingly complex, there are positive initiatives to participate in, organizations to partner with and opportunities for further education and support. Two possible personal response actions are to advocate for Syrian Refugees and to donate to trustworthy organizations. To support Syrian refugees, email your elected officials and call your U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives: 1 -866-940-2439.Once connected, share your name, city, and state, your support for the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program and one or two reasons why you welcome refugees. To help with immediate on-the-ground needs in conflict zones donate to an organization like Preemptive Love Coalition, which provides bread and infant formula inside besieged and hard-to-reach areas, maintains a massive emergency kitchen, and sends mobile medical clinics into communities whose hospitals have been destroyed. Lastly, to stay engaged in the plight of the Syrian people, follow the aforementioned youth on Twitter and other social media accounts, and listen in to their stories they tell. Science Night teaches about trauma, growth JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On March 14, Ann Friesema, a professor at UW-Parkside and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Chicago who has worked for 13 years, gave a presentation on posttraumatic growth. The hour-long presentation was a part of the Science Night series of events at the school that features guest-speakers who focus on some interesting topic in science; the event, like all Science Night events, was open to community members as well UW-Parkside students. What is posttraumatic growth?

At UW-Parkside, this book is the post-apocalyptic novel "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel, the 2014 Arthur C. Clarke Award recipient. The novel's characters live in a harsh, violent world and must endure much trauma in their lives. Posttraumatic growth is the process of healing and personal change that can occur following a traumatic event. The Ranger News spoke to Friesema after her presentation, and she contrasted posttraumatic growth with the better-known PTSD by saying that "posttraumatic growth is the positive change out of trauma as opposed to PTSD, which is a mental disorder." Research into posttraumatic growth is relatively new, having only been conducted over the last 25 years. Growth through community The presentation discussed various aspects of posttraumatic growth and the scientific community's current understanding of the phenomenon. The perception of personal growth after trauma is subjective, so when individuals were asked by psychologists about how they changed, they answered with a range of different responses. Some patients claimed they experienced increased personal strength, some found a new openness to new possibilities in life, others attained a deeper spirituality, many found a CD s - Vinyl - DTD's Of Kenosha We haiiBHI Turntables We can find anything! greater appreciation for life while others formed closer relationships with friends and family. Universally, community support was an important factor in encouraging posttraumatic growth. Relevant quotes from "Station Eleven" were placed side-by-side with other information in Fries— ema's slides. These quotes were primarily the reflections of the novel's characters, and how their witnessing of the apocalypse changed their views of themselves. Dr. Friesema said the largest parallel that could be drawn from the book regarding posttraumatic growth was "community and connection." In the novel, the main characters roam in a band, and they rely on each other for security and emotional support. Friesema stressed that "so much of healing out of trauma has to do with being connected to other people." Were the band not to exist, the trauma and hardship faced by "Station Eleven"'s characters would likely break them. More to come for Science Night Dr. Friesema wanted to remind readers that traumatic events do not need to result in negative change but "can be a catalyst for growth and development;" she said that "can surprise people." Dr. Friesema is also one the individuals who have been tasked with developing and implementing UW-Parkside's masters program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling which will be first offered in Fall of 2018. She will be teaching courses in trauma, crisis, and the foundations of mental health counselling.

Faithfully adapting interactive entertainment into a passive viewing experience is quite the challenge, since it serves as a less engaging method of delivering a familiar story. March 16 saw the release of "Tomb Raider" as an attempt to tackle the task and quell common criticisms of the genre. The film centers around video game icon Lara Croft, the titular Tomb Raider, as she embarks on an adventure to find her missing father on a mysterious, deserted island. The film does suffer some of the same predictable pitfalls as other adaptations, but Lara Croft's footing is surprisingly stable this time around. A re-imagined character Back in 2001, Angelina Jolie portrayed the original version of Lara Croft: an oversexualized action heroine. In contrast, Alicia Vikander plays the far more serious protagonist of the rebooted Tomb Raider title of 2013 (which, by the way, is amazing), and she does it surprisingly well.

I wonder what your face looked like when you had me, when I was cleaned to expose fair skin and pale hair in contrast to your ink black strands and natural sun baked skin. I never understood why you maneuvered my hand to the "other" check box away from "Hispanic/Latino." 1 guess I preferred not to specify. I never understood why when I uttered my first Spanish words you never replied. You must have felt relieved when I was enrolled in Kindergarten with other pale faces, articulating accurate English, the Spanish unpracticed flying from my mind. You never noticed how I felt out of place at our own family reunions, how my eyes strayed and daydreamed in the middle of conversations with my family because I could not understand what they were saying. You never knew that I wished I could proudly say "Yo soy Puertoriquena" without fear of being laughed at. And I hate that I can't be mad because you were being a mother, a mother who had experienced the pain of discrimination, I know. But 1 would rather share that pain with you than watch you suffer alone. ~ * in the newest "Tomb Raider" film directed to the convincing performance. Thankfully, director Roar Uthaug is the first of three filmmakers to treat the character like a human being. The camera does not oversexualize Lara Croft. This issue, commonly known as "The Male Gaze," never burdens the film, and that is massively COURTESY OF WARNER BROS by Roar Uthaug. respectable. The film's shortcomings Inevitably, "Tomb Raider" is not as good as the game upon which it is based. Over ten hours of story were crammed into two hours of footage, and it shows. The pacing takes a dip at the end of the second act. Some character motivations do not remain consistent. A few plot points could not hold up to even moderate scrutiny. My biggest criticism of the film was of its villain-Vogel, played by Walton Goggins. Whereas I loved his performances in "Lincoln" and "The Hateful Eight", Goggins mutes his performance here. He looks and sounds bored the entire movie, which is quite disappointing to see from such a skillful actor. A final verdict 2018's "Tomb Raider" is a mixed bag. Despite its flaws, the movie is undoubtedly entertaining. Not only is Alicia Vikander inspiring in the role, but the action throughout the movie is also clever, grounded and gripping. The film is "popcorn" entertainment— pulpy action with a handful of effective character moments sprinkled throughout. Its protagonist is well-realized, and the plot serves up a relatively robust adventure story, which is a miracle for a video game adaptation. On the movie grading scale, "Tomb Raider" gets a "B-" from me. Best 2017 indie game suggestions Recommendations from a rising genre of gaming More excellent and creative stories came from similar indie titles. "Night in the Woods" is a gothic detective narrative with quirky dialogue and a Trends can be oppressive; they edge out unconventional ideas. Risks are often not allowed to flourish. VIA INFINITE FALL, GEARS FOR BREAKFAST, STUDIO MDHR, AND TEAM SALVATO A montage of popular 2017 game characters. TRAVIS NORTHERN explored in AAA titles. north004@rangers.uwp.edu VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING Many of the world's most popular video game franchises-"Call of Duty", "World of Warcraft", "Assassin's Creed"-are made successful by the financial power of a publisher. These games are called "AAA" (Triple-A) titles, and in 2017, their popularity declined. Many players found themselves tired of the franchises' formulaic designs and money-gouging add-ons. In their failures, the industry spotlight shined on an underappreciated genre: games developed without the support of a publisher. Independent (indie) games are frequently lauded by cult fanbases for their unmitigated creativity. Indie hit after indie hit in 2017 reminded the gaming community that games can be artistic, interesting and just plain fun. Remarkable stories One of my favorite games of 2017 was "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice", a story-driven action game about a young woman living with psychosis. The hyper-nuanced graphics, the chilling settings and the emotional performances were about as compelling as interactive entertainment can get. The gaflie also has a moving message about mental %ess that is far too bold to be unique, cartoonish aesthetic. One computer game, "Doki Doki Literature Club," even pushed the boundaries of storytelling as a whole. The title starts off as a harmless-looking visual novel, but the plot grows thicker than tar right under the player's nose. I will not spoil the shocking twist, but it is one that will stick with most players long after they have finished its insane experience. Nostalgic gems Indie games also managed to xcel throughout the year by experimenting on tried-and-true designs. "Cuphead" was in NextLevel Gaming's top five favorite games of the year, and with good reason. The 2D platformer charmed audiences around the world with its art style, which resembled 1930's-era hand-drawn animation. In addition, the gameplay was elegant in its simplicity, even if the difficulty was hilariously unreasonable for some levels. Another throwback indie game that was irresistibly fun was "A Hat in Time". The development of this modest project was funded entirely via Kickstarter. Like many crowd-funded products, it could have crashed and burned, but the risk paid off. "A Hat in Time" is phenomenal. It perfectly captures every appeal of the Nintendo Gamecube. It is an essential purchase for game libraries everywhere, and it could even serve as a great introduction to gaming for brand new players. The future of Indies The boom of independent game development in 2017 enriched the overall industry in a major way. The AAA publishing sphere outputs a considerable array of fulfilling entertainment, but there are flaws. Trends can be oppressive; they edge out unconventional ideas. Risks are often not allowed to flourish. Repetition is sometimes favored over deviation. Things can get monotonous in the mainstream sphere of interactive entertainment. I hus, the abundance of indie gems in 2017 was an abundance of quality. The games listed above are absolutely worth the valuable time and money they ask of consumers. One of the titles is even free to play. Last year was excellent for talented, underrated developers, and it will be interesting to see which independent games soar in 2018.

April 4,2018 THE RANGER NEWS "The King's Choice": More engaging than thrilling Two of the most jam-packed days in Norwegian history ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp. edu War movies. I am reasonably sure we can agree that films centermg around the topic of war are rarely cheerful. They might have moments of comedic relief or a heartwarming or uplifting ending but on the whole, an average war' film will at least leave watchers with a single tear threatening to fall. With this in mind, I have not gone to see that many war movies over the years. When I sit in a seat, potentially with some popcorn or candy, I want to laugh and be merry, not weeping openly over men and women who died because someone somewhere got on their high horse and tried to take over the world. However, if I had to watch a war movie for say, I do not know, a film review for "The Ranger News", 1 would not run away screaming. Maybe it is not so bad As it happens, "The King's Choice" was easier to get through than I had hoped. Set in 1940s Norway, the film takes place over the course of roughly three days, and focuses on the decision of King Haakon VII, during that time. At that point in the war, Norway was determined to remain neutral, but Germany was equally determined to overrun and occupy the country. King Haakon and the rest of the royal family flee to a safe farm in the countryside, and thus begins the game of cat and mouse between the Norwegian government and the Germans. No bark, massive bite With a cast of sympathetic and engaging characters, "The King's Choice" does a good job of capturing the attention of its audience The royal family in turmoil in having to and making them invest in the final outcome. Haakon himself is a tall, weary-looking sixty-eightyear- old who looks as though a strong wind could carry him away. The gentle nature with which he speaks to his grandchildren and the young soldiers he comes across throughout the film is refreshing and more human than monarchs are normally portrayed as. This made it a genuine surprise when Haakon's backbone shone through as he defended his country and all the people within it that depended on him. COURTESY OF BERLINALE.DE separate. The King's Choice Awards "The King's Choice" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, but the only awards it formally won were from the Norwegian International Film Festival. The film was awarded with best Norwegian film, best music and sound design, best screenplay, visual effects, editing and best supporting actor. If you missed UW Parkside's run of "The King's Choice," the film is available for rent or purchase on YouTube and Amazon. PETLAND PETS MAKE LIFE BETTER.' This Week in History: The pony express Our first modern postmen and their steeds CHANGE OF msr RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Founded on April 3 1860, now nearly 160 years ago, the Pony Express was a short lived business that became the stuff of legends in the wild west. The Pony Express was founded by William Hepburn Russell, Alexander Majors and William Bradford Waddell. These three men came up with a solution to the problem the gold rush in California and other areas of the west had caused-a lack of communication between families that lived across the country from one another. The route began in Missouri and ran over 2,000 miles to California. Before the express began letters took months to travel from the east to the west. The Pony Express cut the time it took for letters to travel down to a mere ten days. The first Pony Express ad read, "WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry fellows, not over eighteen. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred. Wages: $25 per week. Apply: Central Overland Pony Express Alta Building Montgomery Street". The route The riders of the Pony Express were well known for their bravery and sacrifices made to get their precious cargo from one destination to the next. Even famed American author Mark Twain weighed in on the riders, calling them "swift phantoms of the desert". REDUCED HATKK! Along the route, there were over 190 way stations that riders could stop at to feed and care for or switch out horses when their own become exhausted. These stations were set up every ten to twelve miles and were no small part of the business's short-lived success. One of the most famous riders was an individual by the name of Robert Halsam, who was more commonly known as "Pony Bob". Pony Bob gained his fame for his bravery on one of his routes when he ran straight through the Paiute War around the age of 18 or 19. The uprisings in the area had shut down nearly all the other routes that ran through the territory. Down in history Unfortunately, less than a year and a half after the Pony Express began, it ended. The riders were quickly replaced by the transcontinental telegraph, which sent messages with even more speed than the riders could ever hope to keep ujHvith. Still, due to the Pony Express' short but impactful place in American history, it has gone down as a legend for the ages. Though many of the stories of the Pony Express are mostly myth now, it is still rooted in a real business that revolutionized how mail was delivered to people of the United States. The perils the riders of the express faced crossing the country to deliver their precious cargo cannot be forgotten. CULTURE | 5 Questions about our culture articles?

Stress a problem when it is chronic. That is when it can start causing mental and physical harm. There are many ways you can try and alleviate some of your stress. There are at least three different types of stress. First is routine stress, and it is related to everyday life. Second is stress brought on by sudden, negative change. Third is traumatic stress that is related to a traumatic event, and it can develop into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The stress response is natural, and it can even save our lives. However, it becomes an issue when it is chronic, and it can even cause physical symptoms to manifest. Some these symptoms are digestive issues, sleeplessness, headaches, depressed mood, irritability and anger. There are simple steps you can take to help reduce your stress. Eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and exercise are a good start. Relaxation can be facilitated by meditation. yoga, deep breathing, tai chi, and time in nature. Identifying your triggers and trying to limit exposure is important. Stress will always be there, but by learning how to cope and how to reduce it, you limit its effect on you. According the Mayo Clinic, "Exercise in almost any form can act as a stress reliever. Being active can boost your feel-good endorphins and distract you from daily worries." UW-Parkside has many activities sponsored by different organizations on campus to provide a fun way to get that exercise in. There is free membership for full time UW- Parkside students at the Sports and Activity Center (SAC) on campus. The hours are Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and Sundays 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. Now if your stress is becoming chronic, meaning that there are physical symptoms associated with it, and you need help dealing with it there is help for that as well. UW- Parkside has counseling services available to students. Sometimes just talking to someone outside of the situation can be helpful. The Student Health and Counseling Center is located behind Talent hall. The number there is (262) 595-2366. The services are free and confidential to students. Only you can manage your stress and take the action needed to get it under control. As a student at UW- Parkside there are numerous services, activities, and tools available to you. In the words of Bruce Lee, "It is not daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials." A generation taking a stand A Message from Nature: Experience the outdoors COURTESY OF FIBONACCI BLUE High schoolers took to the streets in protest of school shootings. ALYSSA GOROSKI gorosO01 @rangers. uwp. edu While high school may not be a pleasant time for most students, it is at least supposed to be memorable. For most people, the clearest memories that come to mind are dances, sporting events and cafeteria squabbles. For others, it is unwarranted and horrific violence. Spurred by memories of students that have passed due to school shootings over the decades and the recent shooting in Parkland, FL, students have begun protesting and pushing for change. Why is it that the generation that has been dubbed the "New Silent Generation" are the ones that are speaking out against such a pressing issue? In a world where older generations often accuse the younger ones of only caring about avocados and smartphones, it is those same avocado-loving generations that are speaking out, and ultimately, walking out. With all of this attention that students are getting, it should make the rest of the country wonder what we are doing to support what we believe in. Students are taking a stand about what they think is important by walking out of classrooms during the school day in protest. Some of them have been personally affected by gun violence, whether they have lost a friend or a family member, and others are walking out because they do not want to be a victim of it. The concept of walking out in protest is spreading to other political ideas as well. Students in California wonder why they could not protest abortion just as others across the country protested other types of violence. This type of political action, while on a small scale to the rest of the world, promotes speculation in young people. It could encourage new, revolutionary ideas that older generations claim that the younger ones do not, and perhaps should not, have. Whether you agree with the various high school students' opinions or not, it is notable to mention the action they are taking. Often times, the intent of making a difference only goes as far as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram newsfeeds that fill up with articles and opinions that one could "like", "heart" or "share", crossing fingers and toes that someday, somehow, it will make a change somewhere. The opinions of a new generation is generally a prickly topic, but when the nation's up-and-coming generation is standing up for what they believe in, whether it be an antigun stance or a pro-life opinion, then there has to be hope for America's future. I suppose the question is, then, if high schoolers are speaking out, then what are you doing to support what you believe in? BRYAN MALEK JR. malek003@rangers. uwp. edu In this day and age, we are constantly bombarded with social media notifications on our phones, tablets and laptops. We seem to always have a screen illuminating our faces and showing the blank expression of disinterest. Sure, we may enjoy seeing pictures of your aunt and her new dog, watching videos of pointless acts, and hours of T.V. shows without commercials or lag-time between episodes, but are we really engaged? Have you ever been so engulfed into your screen that when you look away you feel as misplaced and perplexed as if you were just staring at a wall for hours? Well, you are not alone, because it turns out that you have the same amount of brain activity watching a screen that you do staring at a wall. I have found myself in this predicament, and I have found ways to disconnect from the screen and reconnect with nature. Going outside gives a person a natural feeling of being content and happy. Even if it is an ordinary day with the sun shining and a sky of blue, you could go for a walk or bike ride and find yourself feeling engaged and connected with the world around you. If all you want to do is just sit and relax, go do it outside in a park or in your backyard and I guarantee you'll feel more relaxed than if you sat inside on your computer all day. These are some quick and simple solutions to detach from technology, but I will recommend to do something more fascinating. The United States of America offers some of the most beautiful lands in the world. From mountains to valleys, prairies to forest, there is nothing more astonishing then being engulfed in them. At the moment, every state has places set aside that are dedicated to conserving and preserving the natural beauty for your viewing pleasure. So take a road trip somewhere! Get friends and family together to go camping and hiking; close or far, plan it out and do it. The feeling of hiking up a mountainside or waking up and seeing a quiet pristine lake is sublime. Sometimes just standing and looking into the openness can be enough to feel empowered. The connection between you and the wilderness can only be experienced by being physically present. Disconnect with technology and reconnect with yourself in nature. Bryan Malek Jr. is a senior majoring in liberal studies and is the Public Relations Officer of PEC.

Contact Ethan Costello, costeOl 2 @ rangers .uwp.edu. Editorial Desk AUSTIN KRIEGER krieg004@rangers. uwp. edu Religion, in some form or another, has permeated into human existence and culture since the first anatomically modern humans, our ancestors, inhabited the Earth. In its earliest forms, people looked to the stars and celestial bodies to track the seasons and patterns of the world, such as the tides shifting with the moon. This observance translated into characterizing the stars and planets as gods in the heavens. A brief glance at the world history of religion would show a strong progression and evolution of ideas starting from simply looking to the sky. As civilization progressed, so did religion. Different cultures from around the world formed their own beliefs that were rooted in a story told across the planet. In r eligion's infancy, these beliefs gave people what seemed to be the means to physically manipulate the world around them by appeasing higher beings—the stars and planets which seem to look down from heaven. In the twenty-first century, in much the same way, religion allows people to believe that with thought and devotion to a higher being, the world will be changed dramatically. Religion gives hope, security, and social solidarity. Whether or not any part of religion is truly supernatural, the consequences of its communion and their actions are real. If one chooses to be kind and give to others because of what they believe, religious or not, they have made a tangible difference in this world. It does not matter if religion was created by a god or by humans, but it matters what we do with it.

Campus receives its first armed teacher satest classroom on campus, more to follow TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers. uwp. edu In order to protect students from potential attacks on campus, Dr. Winn Chester, an associate professor of music at UW-Parkside, has decided to carry a weapon on his person as he teaches his classes. Curious about the ramifications of arming teachers with firearms, Bearly News contacted Dr. Chester for an interview. Our reporters were permitted to attend his class for a day and ask him questions about his new routine. "I am so thrilled that I am finally able to exercise my right to bear arms at work. It keeps the government from turning Wisconsin into a dystopian police state," he said, polishing his .44 magnum in a room full of college students. A reasonable setup After a notable figure produced a series of official, prestigious and very eloquent tweets, Dr. Chester found himself inspired to obtain a weapon for his workplace. "They made us take hours of classes for protocol and safety," he recaps. "But of course, I did not finish a single page of the homework. Do the instructors not know how busy I am?" Thankfully, the professor is already a highly skilled gunman , even without the instruction. "I shot a raccoon in my backyard once," he said. "I may as well be special forces." Dr. Chester's philosophy is that the next opponent could be hiding just around the corner. Consequently, he is constantly on high alert, ready to end a life in the blink of an eye. As a result, the weapon is always on his desk, staring straight at his class of music majors. A reasonable interaction The music professor has not yet needed to defend himself from an actual attacker, but the presence of the firearm in his classroom does have benefits. Reports show that grades have improved by 200%, and it is easy to see why. Throughout the lecture, students paid extremely close attention to every movement the professor made. Their eyes were wide with excitement, and they were sweating with enthusiasm. At one point, a freshman threateningly reached into her suspicious handbag. With the reflexes of a Bengal tiger, Dr. Chester readied his weapon and prepared for a shootout. Terrified, the student procured a packet of chewing gum with a shaky hand. Dr. Chester was not appeased until she surrendered the Hubba Bubba as reparations for the fright she had caused. His heroism inspires us all.

Ruxpin and this Bearly News reporter spent many nights awake, sifting through archival documents. However, the time had come for us to put research aside and to do some investigation straight at the source. I will not tell you how we got into his den, or indeed if it was legal. We needed answers. Who was Ranger Bear? Where was his child? And for the love of god, why does he sleep in a cave in Petrifying Springs?

The stairs were dark and ominous, and the investigation was almost cancelled right on the spot, but for the sake of our readers and, indeed, for the sake of the truth, we persisted.

Ruxpin thought they might all be Ranger Bear. Such a leading question is generally unacceptable, but T. Ruxpin simply nodded in horror. "But what about their heads?" T. Ruxpin asked.

Instructions from a marSee NO VICTIMS page 3 NAOMI DORNFELD dornfOO 1 @rangers.edu The city of Eastern Ghouta has been pounded by Syrian government bombs since the last week of February. With the death toll escalating, the United Nations Security Council has called for a ceasefire. Despite this motion, violence continues. A complicated conflict The Syrian Government has severely intensified military actions in efforts to recapture control of rebel-held Eastern Ghouta. Multiple factions of anti-government groups living in the now besieged city are undergoing the government's attempt to power there. While President Assad's administration denies targeting civilians, the bombing has resulted in at least 500 civilian casualties, many being women and children. In addition to the fatalities, hundreds of thousands are trapped in the besieged area with extremely limited medical resources and access to food and water. This recent surge of violence has received international attention, not only because of the humanitarian crisis, but because the nearing eight-year war in Syria involves many neighboring countries, the United States and Russia. The multiplicity of power-players in the conflict pose apparently unyielding obstacles to long term solutions, but the international community is addressing possible actions for the immediate crisis at hand. International intervention In response to this outbreak of violence and the ensuing humanitarian crisis, on Feb. 24, the United Nations Security Council unanimously agreed upon the calling for a 30-day ceasefire. Addressing the Security Council meeting, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, remarked, "There are no words to express our frustration over the collective failure of the international community to end this war. But that frustration is nothing * compared to the suffering and destruction visited ceaselessly upon the Syrian people." In addition to the call for ceasefire, the council insisted that action follow with regular humanitarian aid convoys, medical evacuations and the immediate lifting of sieges. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres added, in statement, that "the resolution will be immediately implemented and sustained, particularly to ensure the immediate, safe, unimpeded and sustained delivery of humanitarian aid and services, the evacuation of the critically sick and wounded and the alleviation of the suffering of the Syrian people." A young Syrian's plea for help Amid the attacks in war-torn Eastern Ghouta, 15-year-old @muhammadnajem posted a plea for help from the American people on twitter.

Roochnik worked as a martial artist instructor in the Corps for over two years, using a form of martial arts developed by the Marine Corps known as MCMAP, or the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Despite MCMAP's use in the military, Sam is able to translate these skills into basic self-defense lessons for members. Some of the moves taught in No Victims include falling safely, correct stance and basic hand/ palm strikes. Confidence through self defense One of the key lessons No Victims instills in its members is the confidence in being able to protect themselves. No Victims hopes that this confidence will translate into all aspects of member's lives, especially leading a safe and healthy lifestyle. Roochnik pointed out that No Victims "gives people the opportunity to practice basic skills that work and knowing that and being aware of your surroundings is really all we can do outside of formal training." Moreover, the club hopes that being aware of your surroundings and how to properly and safely protect yourself will leave a lasting positive impression on member's lives.

April 3 QPR institute provides suicide prevention training Active Minds sponsors training to help prevent suicide in our community KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu According to the American College Health Association, "Suicide is currently the second most common cause of death among college students aged 25-34 and third leading cause of death of 15-24-year-olds." On March 7, for the second consecutive semester, Active Minds hosted Suicide Prevention Training. Dr. Barbara Moser, MD from Prevent Suicide Greater Milwaukee (PSGM) led the event, and taught QPR (Question. Persuade. Refer. Institute) training. QPR training The method taught was QPR, and it was developed by Paul Quinnett, PHD. It implements the use of three steps. The first step is to speak to a person directly and empathetically and ask them questions about suicide. Second, you should to try to persuade the person to get help. The final step is to refer the person to the appropriate resource. This is not meant to be a form of treatment or counseling. The purpose is to offer hope to any distressed individual through positive action. The goal is to prevent tragedy by learning warning signs, clues, and suicidal tendencies of those in trouble. Participants were taught skills to act to prevent suicide, and how you can be an advocate." The training consisted of a lecture, sharing personal experiences, role play, and the distribution of informative material. After completing the training all participants received a certificate in QPR suicide prevention. Therapy Club is ambitious, informative TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers. uwp.edu What's the difference between physical therapy and occupational therapy? If you do not know the difference, then you can be forgiven. Before psychology major Kevin Stearns began to work on Parkside's newest club, he did not know either. Under the guidance of academic advisor Kim Armstrong, Stearns founded the Therapy Club, an educational organization completely focused on informing students about their academic pathways to working in the field of therapy. Informational meetings The club's second meeting took place on March 5th. At least a dozen students attended, and about half of them were new members, all of whom come from different backgrounds and majors. Throughout the meeting presentation, Stearns presented several essential pieces of advice and information for aspiring medical workers. "You will need a lot of volunteer hours," he explained, when referring to occupational therapy requirements. "The Therapy Club will offer opportunities and connections for this over the course of the semester." Stearns began the club to inform students about the various career paths within healthcare, beyond the traditional nurse and physician positions. Specializing in therapy, either occupational or physical, is an important role, needed to help elderly, injured, disabled, traumatized, and special needs patients. The club's future To help keep the student body informed about the importance of therapy, Therapy Club plans to host guest speakers at its meetings, offer networking opportunities, and deliver important information to students of all disciplines. If you or someone you know is interested in a career in therapy or psychology, or if you are simply interested in getting involved on campus with an educational club, then stop by the open-door meetings at Molinaro D128, held each Monday at noon. If you would like to support their cause with publicity, like their page on Facebook or check out their Campus Connect profile. RANGER RADIO Suicide's impact Dr. Moser shared that she has had to ask a lot of people if they were suicidal, but the hardest person to ask was her own son. One in ten people have experienced serious suicidal thoughts. Would you know how to talk to someone about being suicidal? That is the reason why training like QPR is available. Suicide is a preventable cause of death. 90 percent of people who survive a suicide attempt get the help they need and do not attempt it again. When discussed, most people had previously experienced some sort of incident related to suicide. This could include experiencing suicidal thoughts themselves, a friend or family member who committed or attempted suicide, and many other variations.

Even though suicide is a difficult subject, people remained positive and participated in the activities. There was a very good turn out. There was a lot of good information and resources. Robin Zelek , the President of Active Minds, said they will continue to sponsor this training at UW-Parkside. Just as people trained in CPR help save many lives each year, people trained in QPR can recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and question, persuade, and refer someone in crisis for help. The event was very well organized, and it addressed a very important subject. In the words of Phil Donahue, "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." COURTESY OF UW-PARKSIDE A floating wetland is see in Racine's Quarry Lake. The wetland—a collaborative project between Racine County and UW-Parkside—helps to address the lake's algae blooms and nitrates. Floating wetlands improve water quality in Quarry Lake DEREK FYE fyeOOO01 @rangers. uwp.edu Over the past half century, manmade treatment wetlands have been designed, built and tested around the world. The goal is to use a more environmentally friendly process to improve water quality. Joy Wolf, University of WisconsinParkside geography professor, her former student and recent UW-Parkside graduate Ben Haas, and their colleague Stephen Lyon are using floating wetlands to address algae blooms and nitrates in Mount Pleasant's Quarry Lake. Today, as a Racine County Parks manager, Haas is concerned with the condition of the bodies of water in his jurisdiction. Thanks to his experiences at UW-Parkside and his connections with talented professionals such as Wolf and Lyon, it took him little time to collaborate and come up with a potentially effective and cost-efficient solution. The project is titled "Water Quality Improvement Using Floating Wetland Islands." In a proposal presented to, and accepted by, the Racine County Board, Wolf, Lyon and Haas asserted that their solution would accomplish two objectives. The first being a surface treatment of Quarry Lake. The second is conducting an analysis of sediment to determine if sequestration is occurring for phosphorus and nitrogen. Quarry Lake Quarry Lake Park is a 40-acre park managed by the Racine County Parks Department on the northwest of Racine in the Village of Mount Pleasant. To address surface-water treatment, bulrushes are placed in stable floating structures. As the bulrush roots grow, they develop a microbial biofilm coating. For the floating wetland to be effective, it must have water flowing through its root system. Student involvement The proposal also includes ways in which UW-Parkside students will learn and benefit from the project. "Student effort will be an integral part of the process in that my soils class will learn to analyze samples taken from the lake for percent organic matter, nitrate phosphate content, total suspended solids and volatile solids," Wolf said. Under the direction of UW-Parkside faculty, students will be testing the water quality and soil parameters in Wolf's soils lab. Expectations "Quarry Lake usually has a series of algae blooms throughout the spring and summer," Wolf said. "The change in water quality before and after (floatingwetland) treatment will indicate the potential for this kind of system to improve the water quality in eutrophic lakes." The primary goal is to make the water safer and more pleasant for swimmers. "We want to improve the water for swimmers using an ecological method," Haas said. "We are going to clean the beach with a method developed by Lyon." Power washers will be used to suspend small particles in the water and then the particles will be pumped to the middle of the lake where they will fall to the bottom. Cost-effective What the floating wetlands may lack in aesthetics, Haas said, is more than offset by the environmentally safe and cost-effective nature of the project. With various departments and organizations expected to contribute to the design and implementation of the floating wetlands, the cost — which is already lower than a number of alternative methods — is expected to be minimal and an application that will be useful in many similar situations. March 14.2018 THE RANGER NEWS CAMPUS NEWS | 3 Briefs Annual Career Fair JOSEPH CANNING canniOO 7 @rangers, uwp. edu UW-Parkside held its annual career fair on Wednesday, February 28. The fair was held from the late morning to early afternoon in the Student Center Ballroom. The event was marketed primarily to students who are nearing graduation or who have already received an undergraduate degree. Like at UW-Parkside's internship fair, students were expected to come prepared with formal dress, resumes, and a willingness to socialize with potential employers. A total of 67 tables were set up by the companies and organizations attracted to the fair from the Kenosha and Racine area as well as some from other areas of Wisconsin. Major companies such as Abbott, a healthcare technology firm based in Illinois, and Baxter Credit Union, a large credit union with a presence in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, were present. Anyone who missed this year's career fair can attend the one to be held next spring semester. Though it is primarily for the benefit of students near graduation, sophomores and freshmen are welcome to attend to gain experience, discover opportunities, and network. NO VICTIMS: Open to the community Where and when No Victims meets every Friday from 12p.m.-lp.m. and Sunday from 6p.m.-7p.m. in the Sports and Activity Center combatives room. Meetings are open to all UW-Parkside students, faculty and staff as well as any interested community members from the Racine and Kenosha area. Roochnik explains the overall tone and goal of No Victims by saying, "we aren't masters but...if you sweep a guy down and that's all you know, you get a chance to run away. Its basic stuff but it's hard, fast, first." Roochnik and No Victims make it a priority to teach others safe ways of protecting themselves and being confident in those abilities. Speaker talks black mental health Phillip Roundtree challenges mental health stigmas KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs brought Phillip Roundtree to address black mental health issues. ' On Tuesday Feb. 27, students got the chance to listen to Phillip Roundtree talk about his experience with mental health and how it is current to today's society. This event called "Black Mental Health Matters" addresses an issue that many have attached a negative stigma to. Who is he? Roundtree is the founder of Quadefy, which is "a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing empowerment services to enhance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength of an individual, team, and/or business." Roundtree travels the country giving speeches that try to help people cope with mental health issues in a positive way. He says, "you will rarely hear me say suffering because words have power, words impact stigma. So no 1 am not suffering, I am living with mental wellness issues." Roundtree's struggles of getting a masters degree in social work, an MS in Exercise science, being a Pro Natural Bodybuilder and Powerlifting Competitor, as well as his journey dealing with anxiety and depression has made him want to help other people who struggle with expressing and recognizing mental health issues. Roundtree tries to "give a face, voice, and hope to those who've yet to recognize their emotional and cognitive strength." "We are used to seeing people who are dealing with psychosis in the media. We do not see people like me, a black man who is 35 years old." Society's impact Society has put mental health and wellness in a dismissive state. Roundtree wore a shirt that said "this is what depression looks like" which sparked the conversation of what mental wellness looks like in society and the media. He says, "We are used to seeing people who are dealing with psychosis in the media. We do not see people like me, a black man who is 35 years old." Another thing that we see in society is that in the black community, people look up to musicians as role models and hip hop music as. a guide for living life. Roundtree said that "being a product of the 90's" led to him coping with the death of his brother by getting a tattoo because this is what he saw from rap groups like Bone Thugs and Harmony. As college students, having someone that you can relate to is a vital key to success. Zachary Atkins, a student here, said "college students can relate to (Roundtree] because he expressed the importance of being aware that any one around us could be going through a troubling time. I think listening to someone be comfortable in their own skin and openly talk about living with a mental illness can make someone more comfortable to get treatment or accept their own mental wellness state." Black Mental Health Matters showed students that it is okay to have mental wellness issues and that there is nothing wrong with seeking help from others.

Even before the show, the cast and crew put on a great performance. With the house lights still up and while people were still finding their seats, the band, led by Ben Briselden with Moises Diaz and Gerson Diaz, performed old tunes from the 60's (the decade in which the play takes place). Two cast members sat behind old-fashioned television cameras, "filming" the band's performance and giving the play a behind-thescenes feeling. The crew moved set pieces around without ever drawing the curtains, adding to that effect. The attention to detail was quite stunning. Even the 7-Up bottle one of the TV camera operators was drinking from was vintage. It really felt like you were sitting in the live studio audience of a sitcom. First act left the audience hungry for more There was a brief introduction to the convoluted plot, where Pauline (Lauren Stoner) and Alan (Matt Rangel) were to be married, but Pauline's father (Cody Summers) had promised her to a man who was now dead, but he had risen from the dead to claim his bride. The man turned out to be a woman in disguise, the dead man's sister Rachel (Rayne Kleinofen), who stole her brother's identity. After all that, the main character Francis COURTESY OF UW-PARKSIDE The cast of "One Man, Two Guvnors" engaged the audience and each other with their performance. Henshall (Alexander Griffin) took the stage. Motivated primarily by hunger in the first act, Henshall was a sympathetic, yet misguided man who had taken two jobs serving both Rachel and her fiance Stanley (Ryan Zierk), the man who had killed her brother. Alexander Griffin pulled off a stunning performance, masterfully delivering every joke and witty one-liner. The audience participation, planted or not, was spectacular, and the scene at the restaurant in particular—one of those fun moments where everything seems to be coming to a head. from the bumbling elderly waiter Alfie (Cole Conrad), to Henshall rushing around to appease his governors, to the governor's coming out (never at the same time, conveniently) to ask where their food was, to Gareth (Skyler Albaugh) the waiter, along with an audience member pulled on stage for a surprisingly long amount of time—was a splashing success. The second act did not disappoint With Henshall's initial motivation solved, he moves on to a new goal: Dolly (Hannah Anderson). Dolly's performance as a 60'sbrand feminist was awe-inspiring, and her speech about a world she envisioned for the future left the audience in a stunned silence, hanging on her every word. Pauline and Alan's plotline had a good message there too. When Pauline was ready to kill herself for love, in front of Alan without him even lifting a finger to stop her, Dolly intervened to tell her he wasn't worth it, especially if he was about to let her die. Throughout the rest of the play, he had to earn her love back. In the end, it was Henshall's lr>ftv ooali! thaf Hiri hi m in. While he was planning on taking Dolly on vacation, he gave himself away to his governors and to the rest of the cast; however, in the end all was forgiven and each character got what they truly wanted. My take on the play Personally, I thought the play was a stunning success. Of course, Griffin's performance was amazing, but Robbie Saw (who played Lloyd), Cole Conrad and Hannah Anderson are definitely actors to look out for. Though they had smaller, supporting roles, I found myself enjoying every moment that they were onstage. The costume and stage design was amazing, everything was almost a caricature of the 1960's, though that feeling was balanced by the TV-production frame of the story. Misti Bradford (costume design), Kyle Racas (charge artist) and Zach Young (scenic design) did an amazing job, though we'd expect no less from our award winning design crew. During scene changes the band from the beginning would play songs, often joined by a member of the cast. Each song was well done and entertaining, but the best was when the three main actresses Hannah Anderson, Lauren Stoner and Rayne Klienofen came out to sing a wonderful song about how to help your man avoid getting caught for murder. Overall, the play was great. The theater department has pulled off a stunning success as usual. The Ranger News will be sure to check out "Eurydice," playing later this semester. ing. and money. A graphic of the game "Bayonetta." DESHAWN BRUCE bruce016@rangers.uwp. edu VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING Bayonetta is an action game that was initially released by Sega in 2009. Nine years later, in a port of both the first game and its sequel to the Nintendo Switch, the mature franchise still amazes audiences with its violent gameplay and charismatic protagonist. Familiar gameplay The Switch port of Bayonetta has the same content as the Wii U version, which.is both exciting and disappointing. Mechanically, everything is kept, but nothing is gained. The gameplay and controls are exactly the same as they were in the original. However, touch controls can only be used when playing in handheld mode. Bayonetta still has multiple weapons to choose from. Her standard guns, Scarborough Fair, are available at the start of the first chapter. Her other weapons can be unlocked by defeating bosses and finding hidden chests throughout the level. Additional weapons include shotguns, a whip, a sword, and even ice skates. Some might dislike the games' M-rated brutality, but the combat is undeniably creative. Enemies and bosses are difficult and require more strategy than simply button-mashing. Some enemies can only be defeated by activating Witch Time-a slow-motion mechanic— which is activated by precisely dodging an enemy's attack. Other enemies can only receive damage with firearms. In this way, Bayonetta is interesting, since it's atypical for a hackand-slash game to have the player practice patience instead of attackWeaknesses of a remaster The overall gameplay of Bayonetta is fantastic, but the graphics could have been better. The game looks fine playing in the Switch's handheld mode, but it does have a slight decrease in visual quality while playing in docked mode. There is no new content introduced in the Switch port of Bayonetta. For whimsical entertainment, several Nintendo-themed costumes are unlocked and available to use before the start of the first chapter. Bayonetta can take on the appearances of iconic characters such as Princess Peach, Daisy, Samus, and Link. It is a small nod to the fans, but unfortunately, more content like this could have been included. Flawed but fun "Besides the Nintendo costumes, the Bayonetta port has no new content. While this was my first time playing through the game, and it was an enjoyable experience, I wish the new edition stepped beyond the base game. This problem likely stems from the game's target market-introducing new fans to the franchise. If you originally bought Bayonetta on the Wii U, there is no reason to buy this port. However, if you have never experienced the series, I would strongly recommend adding it to your collection. It is easy to see why the game is so beloved; Bayonetta is fantastic. The environment is detailed and unique. The mechanics of combat are intense and challenging. To top it off, Bayonetta herself is a fun and confident character that gives the game a distinct identity. If you have a Switch and have never played Bayonetta, it is well worth the time Score 8/10 NextLevel Gaming Online (NLGO) is an online magazine and podcast, centered on the gaming industry.

March 14, 2 0 18 The Ranger News CULTURE 5 "Neruda": Apparently I don't get it Probably the best film I will happily never watch again ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp.edu "Neruda" "has been a divisive movie since its 2016 release in Chile. Though it has all the hallmarks of a successful thrillride, the film also has intense drawbacks that only seasoned film connoisseurs, do not seem to mind. Stunning settings and stirring music are overpowered by flowery dialog and so few likable characters that it should be criminal. The film revolves around two persons in particular. The first being the poet and communist politician, Pablo Neruda, who is forced to go on the run when President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla outlaws communism in Chile. Neruda is a wholly unpleasant man, who drinks too much and clearly believes himself to be not unlike a god. The second person is a fictional police detective, Oscar Peluchonneau, that tirelessly chases after Neruda when he is forced to go into hiding. Peluchonneau would be a satisfactory character, where we to not hear his self-aggrandizing inner monologue throughout the duration of the film. Neither character is particularly likable, so by the time I got to the film's "epic" conclusion (complete with tense orchestral backing and the slowest foot chase to ever take place in fact or fiction), I was begging for the sweet, sweet release of end credits. To be fair, the relationship between Peluchonneau and Neruda is one of Cat and mouse, and it is difficult to discern which is which at various points in the film. The two taunt and toy with each other in a manner reminiscent of Sherlock and Moriarty, even if Neruda seems to be ahead for the majority of the film. Well, at least someone likes it "Neruda" has received a fair amount of critical acclaim, with a seven out of ten on IMDb, and a ninety four percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film also won ten of its forty nominations, most of which were for either Best Foreign Film, Best Art Director, or Best Cinematography. All valid nominations as it was a rather beautiful movie and the directing was (objectively) good, PETIAND PETS MAKE LIRE PETTI :RT A screenshot from the film "Neruda." however I do not know if I would say it was the best foreign film of 2016. When compared to the other films in UW-Parkside's foreign film series this year, it falls somewhat flat for me, and I would rank it third out of the four films 1 have viewed from the series. The technical merit and beauty, simply could not outweigh the pretension and unnecessary nudity of the film as a whole. Oh, did I not mention the nudity? Do not get me started. Just do not. Maybe I don't get it All things thoroughly considCOURTESY OF FANDAGO.COM ered, I suppose I cannot actually say that 1 hated the film, but 1 must be missing something. I acknowledge my seemingly visceral reaction, and perhaps that has to do with my understanding of the larger themes, and if I were to watch it later in life, I would enjoy it. Perhaps if I were a fan of Pablo Neruda's writing, the plot would interest me. However, 1 am not, and it does not. Only time will tell. If you missed Parkside's run, and I have not scared you off, the film is available on Netflix. Tell me why 1 am wrong. This Week in History: The Spanish Influenza The pandemic that defined a century RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp.edu Flu shots—every year we are told to get them. The flu kills, they say. The flu is dangerous, they cry. Many Americans pass up the flu shot every year, believing it to be less of a big deal than the rest of the world makes it out to be. These fears that many express about the flu are not without their warrants. Many believe in our so-called modem world filled with "accessible" medicine the flu is only the killer of the old, the infirmed, children, and the impoverished. Though our technology and ways of treating the flu have indeed advanced it is still a deadly killer, and those who lived through the Spanish Influenza of 1918 know it all too well. This week is the anniversary of the first outbreak of Spanish Influenza in the United States. Patient Zero On Mar. 4,1918 the symptoms of the flu were first recorded on an army base called Fort Riley. Fort Riley was being used to train hundreds of soldiers. When a company cook became ill the flu spread like wildfire. Although soldiers were not the only ones affected by the outbreak of the flu in the United States, they were the perfect victim for it. Soldiers trained strenuously for long hours and their pQsitions were physically demanding. Soldiers were often overworked and malnourished and their immune systems suffered as a result. They were the perfect victim, and the close-quarter nature of their living arrangements guaranteed the rapid spread of the Spanish flu. Devastating truth The Spanish Influenza killed more people than World War 1. It was seen globally and new evidence suggests that it may have been as widespread as China. The American people were devastated by this virus. The mortality rate was so high and the symptoms spread so rapidly that communities were unable to keep up with their ill. From crowded flu wards to mass graves the flu made everyday life hell. Patients reported respiratory problems and painful breathing and often died in a matter of days. The flu killed far more than the old and unwell. It affected previously healthy adults just as badly as it did with weaker patients. Though it killed less of the global population percentage wise, the disease was more devastating than the Black Death was in terms of casualties. It gave way to tireless research and the vaccines of today, that we often write-off as unnecessary. Though the Spanish Influenza of 1918 was a tragedy it should serve as a reminder to all of us that history is worth remembering. The next time you consider skipping a flu shot remember why we have them and consider the sacrifices of countless innocent victims of the 1918 pandemic.

Shots fired: The debate on gun control It is not too soon—let's talk about guns RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Gun control— it means many different things to many different people, but let us have some real talk here. Gun control means controlling guns. We as Americans have options for how we would like to pursue the issue. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, and in our polarized country, we often seem to forget the complexity of issues and boil it down to being on one side or the other- ban guns or no regulation. It is not. The following is a series of four common arguments against gun control, and responses to them. 1. "Our country was founded on an uprising against the government. Our guns are meant to protect us from the government and the second amendment says so." Well, that is a lot to unpack from the get-go. Our country was indeed founded on an uprising, but there are some fundamental misconceptions there that many people fail to recognize. The American colonies wanted fundamental rights that were secured to British citizens, to have representation in parliament and a say in how the colonies were run. It was only after Britain refused to grant Americans those rights after many attempts at diplomacy did war break out. War was not our first option. The second amendment reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." If you believe that gives Americans the right to bear arms constitutionally, you would be correct. But there is that other part-a well regulated militia. Individual gun owners who may or may. not have proper training and are certainly not well regulated do not make a citizen's army. COURTESY OF ELVERT BARNES VIA FLICKR MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR GUN CONTROL / Assemblance at the US Capitol Reflecting Pool on the National Mall just off 3rd Street in Washington DC on Saturday morning, 26 January 2013. If that alone was not enough, since the constitution there have been many technological advances that make the right to own guns to protect yourself from the government completely obsolete. Guns will not protect you from the SWAT team, an army or nukes. 2. "Guns protect us from bad guys. Anyways, criminals will find a way to get guns no matter what." Theoretically, guns can be used for protection and sometimes are. Whether or not this is actually how guns are used is another story. Armed men and women have stopped criminals with guns before, but it is far more often that "good guys with guns" add more tension to armed situations and are more likely to misfire or make the situation worse. Human error isjustafactoflife. Statistics have shown that the "good guy with a gun" protecting the innocent is little more than an occasional heroic story with little basis in everyday life. In homes with guns, people are three times more likely to be killed than unarmed homes according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Also, the more people that own guns makes the number of guns for criminals to access increase exponentially. The NRA opposes regulations on stricter gun storage. Just because people find ways around laws and regulations does not mean we should sit idly by and let it happen. Laws are what keep this country a civilized democracy. If we have no faith in laws to help protect our citizens we would not have any laws or regulations at all. 3. "Background checks are too invasive." If you are a responsible gun owner you should have nothing to hide in a background check. Background checks are standard procedure for nearly every job and your personal information is The Conservative Ranger: The Benefits of the GOP Tax Plan Community Connections: JIMMY GRAHAM graha028@rangers. uwp. edu In late December of 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, also known as the GOP Tax Plan, was signed into law. This policy so far has helped put more money in the pockets of hard working Americans. It also has helped businesses in raising wages and expanding. How individuals are affected Under this new tax plan, individuals are taxed less on their wages. This plan lowers taxes roughly 2%-3% for most tax brackets. For instance, a married couple bringing in $77,400-$ 165,000 a year in 2017's tax rate would be 25%. Under the new tax policy that rate is lowered to 22%. A 2%-3% decrease in income taxes may not seem like a huge change, but that amount that is saved in wages in just one year adds up to a significant amount of money. For Example, a family making $80,000 a year will save $2,400 a year. This amount that is saved can mean a lot to hard working Americans. Many can use this extra money toward things such as rent, utility bills, or even toward their children's education. How businesses are affected Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the corporate tax rate for most businesses was at roughly 35%. Currently under this new plan it has been lowered to 21%. Due to this large cut to many large companies have used this as an opportunity to give bonuses to their employees. Companies such as AT&T, AAON, and American Airline have awarded many of their employees with $1,000 bonuses. Many companies have also used this tax cut to raise wages for their employees. One instance of this is Associated Bank raising its base wage from $10 to $15 per hour. On top of raising wages and giving bonuses many are also using this tax break to expand their businesses. Boeing and Comcast for example are using $100 millions of its tax break to expand their infrastructure and facilities. How to make these cuts permanent Unfortunately, because this bill was passed through congress with only a slim margin, it can only be in effect until 2025. In order for this to be permanent congress would have to get a wider majority of votes. The only way for there to be a wider majority would be for congress to put aside partisan differences and give this bill bipartisan support.

Take charge of your sexual health KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers.uwp. edu According to the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA), "One in two sexually active persons will contract a STI by the age of 25." That is a very intimidating statistic, but it is something that can be improved with knowledge. There are resources available on campus and in the community to help you take charge of your sexual health. If you are going to be sexually active, you should be responsible. Many college students are transitioning from being a juvenile to an adult. In that stage, a lot of exploration happens, and there are numerous new things to try. Unfortunately, they might not have the knowledge needed to go with these new experiences. The other problem is not having resources available, or not knowing about available resources. UW-Parkside has a Student Health and Counseling Center (SHCC).The SHCC is located on campus behind Tallent hall, and the number is 262-595- 2366. It is open Mondays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. until 6:30 p m. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays it is open from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The SHCC provides many services to help you prevent and treat Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), as well as reproductive health and planning. Pregnancy tests, HIV test, contraceptive supplies, and counseling for reproductive health concerns are available to students. You can receive the vaccination for Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus (HPV). STI testing, pelvic examinations, STI treatment, and emergency contraceptive - Plan B and Ella are also available in the center. Planned Parenthood is another resource that is available that is available in the community. They provide many services, and some of them can also be free based on your income. The number is 262-654-0491, and the address is 3601 Roosevelt Road in Kenosha. They are open Mondays from 11 am. until 7 pjn. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays their hours are from 9 am. until 5 pan. They are closed Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They provide women and men's healthcare. Birth control, pregnancy testing and pregnancy services are available. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) testing is another important service available. They also provide testing, treatment and vaccinations for STIs. They have appointments as well as walk ins for things such as emergency contraceptives. Take charge of your sexual health and be an advocate for yourself. You are the only one that can protect you. Take advantage of the resources available to you and become knowledgeable. There are some diseases that are sexually transmitted, and they have no cure. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." now less private than it ever has been. A simple lookup on WCCA in Wisconsin will turn up records of just about anyone who's broken the law, whether it was a minor slip up or a felony. Proposing background checks does not mean that, across the board, anyone who has had a legal transgression will be banned from purchasing a firearm but it does allow us to have a better system to identify higher risk individuals and prevent possible gun violence. 4. "What about hobbies like hunting or collecting?" Many hobbies have laws. Some people like to make bone-jewelry, but did you know that owning human remains can be illegal. Some people collect cars and have to get special license plates and follow regulations about what conditions they can and cannot take it out in. People love animals, but over a certain number of pets you have to have a special license and certain animals are illegal to own. Proposing that certain types of guns be more restricted or have more regulated ways of obtaining them does not inhibit hobbyists. A gun should have at least as much regulation as owning cars and driving them in the United States. Gun control is about protecting people. Individual rights are important in America, but the selfishness or short-sightedness of certain individuals should not be allowed to override the safety of millions. America is the only place mass shootings like this occur. America is the only place that gun violence on this scale in a so-called world power happen. Take a stance and look for a solution and help prevent the nearly % deaths a day (CDC, 2016) that occur due to inadequate gun control in this country.

Tips for surviving the annual goose invasion COURTESY OF DEAD STUDENT (MAY SHE REST IN PEACE) Photo recovered from a student's Snapchat—the last Snapchat she ever sent. Beware. At. Parkside. TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers. uwp. edu It is a dark time for UW-Parkside students. After months of gathering their strength, the geese are poised to return to campus. With their arrival, they bring death, pestilence, and a screech loud enough to shake the foundations of this very building. Last year, random goose attacks nearly brought the student population to extinction. Not only did they practice their regular strategies of pack hunts and sidewalk ambushes, but they sought after specific targets, taking down any students that dared to challenge them. The last Bearly News reporter to write a piece about goose attacks has yet to be found, and is therefore presumed dead. To avoid suffering the same fate, follow these instructions and join the global goose resistance (GGR). Technique one Is something giving you the feeling that you are being watched? Do you spot a trail of droppings across the pavement? Are a pair of wings blotting out the sun? If this describes your walk across campus at any point between February and November, you could be a potential victim of a goose attack. If you want to escape with life and limb, practice the following techniques. Practice the safe walk. The safe walk, in this scenario, means having a freshman beside you at all times. At the first sign of danger, trip the freshman, or use them as a meat shield as you make your escape. You do not have to outrun an angry goose; you only have to outrun your fellow student. Technique two In instances of traversing the longer walkways on campus-unaccompanied by an aforementioned expendable-the GGR recommends carrying the ultimate precaution on your person at all times: event handbills. Countless hours of study have demonstrated that nothing is a more effective repellent than trying to offer people handbills. If a goose approaches you, draw your stack of handbills for the next big event. Like students on the skybridge. the avian attackers should scurry in fear. Inviting innovation Above all, it is important to remember that anyone can survive the invasion with a little ingenuity. One student the Bearly News interviewed has decided to lay low by donning a hyper-realistic goose disguise. "If you can't beat them, join them." he said, before honking erratically and charging our reporter. One member of UWP Athletics even found a way to profit from the onslaught. "Nothing motivates me to run in the morning like a warmongering waterfowl nipping at my heels," she stated proudly. Students like these give the GGR hope for a better tomorrow. As the student population slowly adjusts to the return of the Canadian devils, they will learn to endure. While the countless casualties from past springs will never be forgotten, the UW-Parkside community can learn to move forward. By following the steps above, you too may survive the annual goose invasion. The days may be dark, but the dawn will come. Until then, we can only dream of the day that the geese will fly south once more, and go bother some students in Arkansas instead. Ranger Bear s secret child The hunt for truth: Is Ranger Bear really a solitary creature? HOLLACE VILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu Late at night, T. Ruxpin and this Bearly News reporter poured over the documents from Ranger Bear's past. We had to look before the sun rose and we were kicked out of the Archives by the campus security. The files we were viewing were top secret, for the eyes of only the Head Archivist and the Dean. "How do you have access to this?" Bearly News had asked the shaky archives assistant who logged into the computer for us. "We can only afford one password." She'd replied, before unlocking a file cabinet, "And we only got the finding for one set of keys." New evidence In the wee hours of the morning, this reporter found some startling evidence. TWO soulless looking Ranger Bears, and a small bear cub beside them. UW-Parkside's logo was emblazoned across their jerseys, showing that this must have been taken after Ranger Bear came to campus. "Junior Bear." T. Ruxpin read from the file card, "I thought... I thought Ranger Bear was the only one of his kind." Who is Junior Bear? After some more digging and another late night in the archives, we had our answer. There were multiple photographs.of two Ranger Bears, sometimes accompanied by Junior Bear, throughout the old files. "They must have been a family." The archivist murmured, looking down at the photographs with something akin to wonder. "But 1 always thought that Ranger Bear was male." After assuring the archivist that Ranger Bear was truly a genderless being and that he most likely reproduced by asexual budding, as all evidence from his physical examinations leads us to believe that he cannot truly be alive, we looked further into Junior Bear. Where did he go? The archive files are not in chronological order, all information regarding Ranger Bear seemed to be stuffed away in an effort to hide it and hinder investigations, so we have no way of knowing what year the photographs were taken. "I don't know why Ranger Bear changed his appearance," the archives assistant told us, when asked. "I assumed it w^s because he was keeping up with the latest trends, but his teeth seem... sharper now. Maybe he's been evolving." T. Ruxpin has agreed to look into the numerous studies done in the 1970's on Ranger Bear's physical form, and the question of evolution. Next week we may have some answers. A haunting family portrait.

Name Email/Phone: 8 I SPORTS THE RANGER NEWS March 14,2018 Nick Becker wins third straight NCAA title CEDAR RAPIDS, IowaRedshirt senior Nick Becker made history Saturday night at the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championships, as the Hartford, Wis., native became the only wrestler in Parkside history to win three NCAA Championships. No. 1 Becker defeated No. 2 Nolan Kistler of California Baptist in an 8-4 decision in the championship match while battling a bloody nose throughout the final match. Becker closed out his career as a Ranger with a perfect 89-0 record. Becker, who's brothers Craig Becker and Brad Becker also won national championships at Parkside, joined a long list of national champions in Ranger history. Bill West, who won national titles in 1974 & 1975, is the other Ranger with multiple national championships. As a team, the Rangers would have finished with 74 points, which would have been good for third place behind St. Cloud State (92.5) and Notre Dame (84). Due to conference sanctions, Parkside is ineligible to place in the team standings. Third place would have been the best place in Parkside history, surpassing the fifth place finish in 2010. Along with Becker, four other wrestlers secured All-American honors over the weekend. Frank COURTESY OF UW-PARKSIDE ATHLETICS Nick Becker's moment of victory at the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championship Yattoni IV suffered an early loss on Saturday, but the senior battled back and earned two straight wins en route to a third place finish. He defeated Upper Iowa's Damian Penichet by major decision in the third place match. Senior Matt Halverson also battled back from an early loss on Saturday to finish in third place after entering the tournament as the No. 11 ranked wrestler at 285. After the loss, Halverson pinned Mitchell Eull of Minot State in just 1:33 before pinning Cody Johnson of CSU-Pueblo in the third place match. Airk Furseth finished in sixth place after going 2-0 on Friday. The sophomore suffered three straight losses on Saturday but ended his season with an incredible 32-8 record and an NCAA Regional Championship. James Lehman went 0-2 on the day but finished in eighth place to garner Ail-American honors. The redshirt junior finished the season 30-11 and was the only Ranger that was unranked in his weight class coming into nationals. Parkside Athletics announces the creation of the Ranger SOMERS, Wis.-The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is pleased to announce the creation of the Ranger Impact Fund, Director of Athletics Andrew Gavin announced on Tuesday. The Ranger Impact Fund will serve as the primary fundraising arm for the athletics department, providing alumni, donors, and fans an opportunity to support Parkside Athletics. "The Ranger Impact Fund and its success are critical to Parkside Athletics as we strive to support the needs of our student-athletes, both in and out of competition," Gavin said. "As we embark on a new era, the generosity of the members of the Ranger Impact Fund will enable us to provide an enhanced student-athlete experience and continue to compete at a high level in our conference as well as regionally and nationally." Supporters of the Ranger Impact Fund will positively and profoundly impact our student-athletes and their experiences at Parkside. The success of the Ranger Impact Fund fosters a nationally-competitive NCAA Division II athletics program, which is vitally important to UW-Parkside through student recruitment and success and enhanced visibility and reputation in Impact Fund the community, state and region. In giving to the Ranger Impact Fund, donors can give to the general athletics fund, the scholarship fund, or 100 percent of a gift can be designated to a specific sport program. "It is important that our alumni and donors have an opportunity to support the programs and initiatives that best align with their interests and passions," Gavin said. "We thank our supporters for investing in this initiative and their generosity and dedication to the Rangers." For more info on the Ranger Impact Fund, please visit HERE.

Parkside Athletics, which is proud to be joining the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference starting in 2018-19, is fortunate to receive funding from institutional support and student fees. However, the athletics department and its 15 intercollegiate teams need the Ranger Impact Fund to generate revenue in support of operating expenses, scholarships, recruiting efforts, team travel, and, most importantly, an enhanced student-athlete experience. Rangers name Ryan Ridley as Events & Operations Coordinator SOMERS, Wis. - Parkside Athletics and Director of Athletics Andrew Gavin are excited to announce the hiring of Parkside alumnus Ryan Ridley as the new Events & Operations Coordinator.

Ridley, who graduated from Parkside in May of 2013, has been serving as the Rangers' Program Assistant since June of 2017 where he was responsible for coordinating athletic events including the ticketing, concessions and event workers. Before returning to Parkside, Ridley was a Ticket Office Supervisor at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee for a year.

A vote of no confidence demonstrates that a voting body believes that an individual in a position of power lacks the ability, motivation or commitment to the responsibilities of the position held, and therefore, cannot lead properly or effectively. The resolution will serve to voice the concerns of the student body of UW-Parkside over comments made by Cross in regards to 'shared governance' in the merger process of two and four-year campuses. When news of the merger hit campuses, students across the state promptly requested a voice in t his process in a joint statement under the Wisconsin State Legislation section 36.09(5).

AUSTIN KRIEGER krieg004@rangers. uwp.edu Garden of Eatin' is a commu- "nity garden Ibased in Kenosha dedicated jto providing Ifresh fruits and vegetables for pantries and shelters in the area. Garden of Eatin' (GOE) was founded by veteran and UW-Parkside alumnus Andy Berg. While attending a sports nutrition and fitness class with Professor Stefani Strauss-Thompkins, Berg was required to work 5-10 hours of volunteer work within the community, but was unable to make the time while having two children, working full time, and studying as a full time student. In place of the volunteer hours Berg was able to propose a written plan for a community garden in ANDY BERG Kenosha but with "a bit of twist.". Support from community The fundamental difference between GOE and other community gardens is that everything used to raise the crops and everything harvested is donated by and to the local community. Berg explains that everything from "seeds, trowels, shovels, gloves, and labor" are all volunteers and donations. GOE receives many of its volunteers throughout the year from United Way and during annual events such as "Make a Difference Day" at UWParkside. Berg is happy with the help that he receives, but is always searching for more volunteers, especially during the summer when volunteer numbers are lower. Plans for the future Berg and GOE recently purchased a small home on 38th avenue in Kenosha to serve as an office and give volunteers and See GARDEN page 2 INDEX Campus News 2-3 Police Blotter. 3 Culture 4-5 Editorial Desk 6 Staff & M ission 6 Opinion 6 Bearly News 7 Sports 8 CAMPUS NEWS New Master's degree program.

March 12 Summer Registration Begins | March 13 Active Minds presents the Realities of Eating Disorders Creativity-Community-Commerce / The Business of Jazz | 5p.m. | Bedford Concert Hall KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu On Feb. 21, Active Minds hosted an event called Realities of Eating Disorders at UW-Parkside. Professor of ethnic studies Heather Kind-Keppel, who has a master's degree in counseling, spoke at the event. The event brought to light how devastating an eating disorder can be and how prevalent they are. According to Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders (ANRED), "Without treatment up to 20 % of people with a serious eating disorder die." Active Minds club Active Minds is a club at UWParkside that was revived in the fall semester of 2017. The president is Robin Zelek. Active Minds is a mental health awareness group whose goal is to remove the stigma surrounding mental health. Zelek said, "We chose eating disorders because it's a topic that is important and does not get talked about enough." Active Minds has suicide prevention training on March 7 at 5 p.m. in the Walnut Room at UWParkside. Last semester they held events teaching about Schizophrenia and mental health resources. Zelek said, "We plan to schedule more events and continue to educate and bring awareness of a variety of mental health issues." They have meetings every Wednesday at 5 p.m. and more information is available on Campus Connect. What is an eating disorder? An eating disorder is a mental disorder, that is characterized by abnormal eating habits that negatively affect a person's mental and physical health. Eating disorders can affect both men and women. Eating disorders can be invisible. It is a disease that you must learn to manage for the rest of your life. While treatment is an important step it is not enough by itself. There can be triggers that brings back the behavior. Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder are the different disorders that were discussed at the Active Minds event. People with Anorexia Nervosa have an obsessive fear of gaining weight, and they fiercely limit the quantity of food they eat. Bulimia Nervosa is a cycle of binge eating, which uses vomiting, excessive exercise, and laxatives to compensate. In Binge Eating Disorder, people will lose control over their food consumption, but they do not try to compensate for it like Bulimia Nervosa. Eating disorders are not really about the food, but more about control . Sometimes life is so chaotic that a person feels they just need control over something. It does not start out as a full-fledged disorder but can quickly turn in to one. Warning Signs There are a variety of warning signs to watch for. Things such as chronic dieting, constant weight fluctuations, and obsession with calories and fat content are things to watch out for. They may also switch between periods of fasting and overeating. They can become withdrawn, depressed, lethargic, and isolated. There also tends to be ritualistic eating patterns. The problem is that eating disorders can manifest in a myriad of ways in different people. If you are worried about someone, you need to ask them the hard questions. You need to pay attention and be an advocate for them. There is help, and they will need a solid support network to get this devastating condition under control.

New Master's degree in clinical mental health counselling Dr. Emmanuel Otu discusses details and employment opportunities offered by new master s program COURTESY OF KRYSTAL DODGE Heather Kind-Keppel(left) and Robin Zelek(right). JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers.uwp. edu UW-Parkside is known for its strong pre-health undergraduate program and other undergraduate programs in healthcare which draw hundreds of students to the school; however, UW-Parkside also offers numerous post-graduate degrees in the medical field. Joining the many other master's degrees offered by the College of Natural and Health Sciences, a master's degree in clinical mental health counselling will become available in fall of this year. The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents approved the clinical mental health counselling urogram last October, and it was officially announced on UW-Parkside's website on November 9. Dr. Emmanuel Otu, Founding Dean of the College of Natural and Health Sciences and Professor of Chemistry, spoke to the Ranger News about the new program. Even though the degree is not available until the fall, he said that there are already seven applicants. What to expect Classes within the program cover multicultural relationships, family issues, general health psychology, psychotherapy, general counselling, coping mechanisms, and much more. There is a graduation requirement of 60 credit-hours, meaning a student would have to take 20 courses that are worth three credit-hours apiece. They are a mix of online, hybrid, and traditional classes. The program as a whole has been specifically designed to address a change in licensure requirements for Licensed Professional Counselors in Wisconsin; the new requirements will be in effect as of this September. Dr. Otu said these courses "run through the whole area of what you could consider health—mental health, trauma." Referring to the recent tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, he also said that some classes teach "how to help families deal with situations like that, because, for their lifetime, they have lost somebody." Students would be instructed on how to help patients cope with loss and other trauma over extended periods of time. Employment opportunities The potential future employment for graduates of the new program is widely varied; they could be employed by anyone who needs the services of a Licensed Professional Counselor. "They can work at mental health institutions and hospitals, inpatient for] outpatient mental health units. Usually, they'll work alongside psychiatrists," assured Otu. He continued, "the graduates would be the ones who help the patients go through the day-to-day ups and downs of their lives." Graduates of the program would also be equipped to work in schools and, potentially, to start their own businesses. Regarding the current supply of mental health counselors, Dr. Otu said, "there are not enough... they are needed almost everywhere fin Wisconsin]." In fact, the need for counselors is primarily around Kenosha, Madison, and Green Bay. Otu also pointed out the opportunities for mental health specialists in the more rural areas of the state, where mental health care is generally much harder to obtain. Consider a graduate degree Dr. Otu wanted students to know that their education does not have to end after they receive their bachelor's degree as getting a master's degree may help a student get the job they truly want. In the last six years, he has helped Parkside to add four new master's programs in the College of Natural and Health Sciences alone. A fifth master's program—healthcare administration—has been developed but is still pending the approval of the UW Board of Regents. Anyone who is interested in obtaining a master's degree in clinical health counselling from UW-Parkside can head to www.uwp.edu and look for "programs" under the "academics" tab to learn more. Garden: A community project board members a place to perform their duties during the winter months. Berg is searching for any help concerning the renovations at the new office, which includes siding, replacing windows, and general carpentry. Completing the office renovations will give GOE more space to operate in the months they are not planting or working with the gardens. GOE will also be hosting an event related to UW-Parkside's Big Read. Professor Peggy James will be speaking at GOE's new office of the Big Read's book "Station Eleven." The office is located on 4605 38th avenue, Kenosha and the event will be open to UWParkside students and local community members. To the garden Despite the great strides GOE has made since it conception, there is always more work to be done and more plants to be grown. Berg and his fellow members of GOE are continuously looking to do more in the community and grow their organization. What started out as an assignment for a class has turned into a project that offers relief and joy felt by both those receiving the food from the gardens and those growing it. February 28,2018 THE RANGER NEWS Briefs Pre ff code revision for KUSD EMILY ERGEN ergenO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On Tuesday, Feb. 13, the Kenosha Unified school district met for a vvork session regarding the High School's dress code. The dress code to be revisited was concerning what females are and aren't allowed to wear, such as yoga pants or leggings. The work session was not called to make and move forward with decisions revising the dress code, but to only make suggestions on what should change. Suggestions made were that leggings and yoga pants are to be allowed worn as pants, tanks be worn as tops and students be supplied proper clothing instead of being sent home when dress coded. Another work session will be scheduled for another time later this year. Government experiences another shutdown TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers.uwp. edu Government Experiences Another Shutdown One could be forgiven for not knowing that the federal government had shut down a second time this year, because it started and ended overnight. On Feb. 9,2018, the shutdown occurred from 12:01 AM to 5:30 AM. A bill had reached the Senate for voting on Thursday night that would keep the government funded, eliminate caps on its spending, and temporarily suspend the debt ceiling. Attempting to combat excessive spending, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) filibustered to stall the Vote. The government briefly shut down, but the Senate rules prevented the filibuster from continuing past 1:00 AM. Soon after the disagreement was set aside, a deal was reached. The funding bill passed, raising defense, non-defense, and disaster relief spending by over $300 billion. Outstanding Faculty Award presented to Parkside instructor Michelle Gabor NAOMI DORNFELD dornfOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside instructor Michelle Gabor, an associate business lecturer, was recognized by the University of Wisconsin MBA Consortium as an honorable recipient of the 2017 UW MBA Outstanding Faculty Award this February. Class nomination In Oct. 2017, students enrolled in the UW system's MBA programs were given an opportunity to nominate staff for the Outstanding Faculty Award. Michelle Gabor, an MBA program graduate, celebrated UW-Parkside alumna and incoming online instructor, was named a noteworthy candidate by students enrolled in her Accounting Foundations course that she taught in the fall semester. According to the feedback retrieved for consideration by the UW MBA Consortium, Gabor was noted for being remarkably responsive and deliberate in communication throughout the term. The online Consortium announcement referenced one student's opinion, saying that "Michelle provided excellent feedback on all the work we've done through throughout the course. Her feedback was in fact one of the most valuable part[s] in learning the subject." Another student said, "Professor Gabor is the most timely instructor I've had in terms of responding to questions and grading assignments." A strategy for success As identified through the feedback received from students, what sets her apart in an online classroom setting is her unusual accessibility and attentiveness to students and and their work. "I remember being a student," Gabor states. "When the assignment you receive on Wednesday is due Friday and you're not getting the help you need, the need will continue into the next week and so on." As many students can likely attest, when a building block of course content is not fully grasped or late work accumulates, it becomes difficult to succeed throughout the duration of the class. One strategy Gabor implemented through the term, to be available for assistance as needed, was a 24-hour response window; if a student posted a question, she would either respond within that time frame or make a comment that the concern would be addressed at a later time. The aim of instruction Although timely responses, thorough feedback and consistent communication are indicators that Michelle provides excellent service as an instructor, it is the conviction for the responsibility of educators that drives her to deliver excellence in the classroom. In a reflection of how to approach growth as an educator, Michelle says that "it's really about how the students learn. They're the ones paying the money. We owe it to them to do a good job." It is because of this attitude towards student service that qualifies her for such an award. COURTESY OF ABIGAYLE KATHERYNE LEFT: Professor Michelle Gabor receiving her award in the dean's office. RIGHT: UW M BA Outstanding Faculty Award No confidence: Students respond to President Ray Cross Surviving the apocalypse Tips, tricks from officer Bergendahl the merger process. In light of these comments, students and faculty view Cross's comments as a dismissal. The statute of shared governance clearly indicates that students should have a say in this process, and so far, there has been little indication that students have been and/or will be represented. The concern is not necessarily about the merger itself. Acting PSG President Keough Lemieux wrote in an email to PSG Senate members clarifying that the issue is not about whether the merger is good or otherwise but rather, "the issue is that we [were] not included in the discussion of this plan that will have a lasting impact on our state." This is not the first time that students have gone unrepresented. The Segregated University fees distribution process in 2015 and the Freedom of Expression mandate that passed last winter have brought big changes without proper student representation. The UW-Madison chapter of the American Association of University Professors(AAUP) \ ^ / ENCORE FRAP HOUR Hall Price Frsppuccinos! Wednesday and Fridays 9:30AM-10:30AM wrote a letter rebuking President Cross for his disregard of shared governance, which includes faculty and academic staff, is deeply concerning. "It does not bode well for the success of your policies that you consider shared governance to be nothing more than an impediment to progress, " the AAUP wrote. Cross responded to the backlash stating, "I think that there's confusion about who should be involved in what and how." "I would argue that shared governance has, in some ways, equated decisions at all levels on all issues, and that's not, in my mind, appropriate," Cross added. Lemieux adds in his email to the PSG senate, "If we [lose] shared governance this could mean a dark path for the UW in the future, one where student input on decisions that have the chance to alter our lives continues to be disregarded." As of press-time the result of the PSG resolution, held on Feb. 26, has not been determined. ERBERT & GERBERT'S Wyllie Market Mon-Thurs 730 AM- 7 PM Frkiay 730 AM-2 PM KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu On Feb. 16, Kurt Bergendahl, a UW-Parkside police officer, demonstrated some tips and tricks for basic self-defense, as part of the ongoing Big Read event series that focuses on "Station Eleven" by Emily St. James Mendel. The event also served as a preview for some of his future self-defense classes. Warning signs Bergendahl started the event by talking about personal space and how to know if someone is going to attack you. He says," What we have to do is think about what our normal distance is when we are talking to people." Generally, people prefer about three feet of personal space, and anything beyond that can make them uncomfortable or be a sign of possible attack. Most of the time, one can pick up on ques of an attack. Bergendahl mentions that some of these warning postures include direct eye contact, clenched fists or flared nostrils. A post-apocalyptic world In order to tie it back to the Big Read theme, Bergendahl gave some self-defense tips that are meant to be used in a post-apocalyptic world. Guns would not be available in that situation, so Bergendahl states that "bare minimum we need to keep ourselves safe." Students learned that in a postapocalyptic world, anything can become a weapon. Bergendahl showed how a pen can be "a real effective tool to the eye and the face" by demonstrating that it can be used similarly to a knife. Therefore, the use of knives was also including in the demonstration. He reviewed the 21 foot rule as a rule of thumb, which states that" within 21 feet, even if I shoot somebody... [in] the heart or in the head, at 21 feet they can still stab me." If a person were running, then a shot to the head or heart does not prevent them from stabbing someone because they could continue to be affected by inertia and gravity. The real world But in today's world, guns are an issue. Bergendahl and Ranger Bear showed students how to change the target of a shooter by throwing objects at the shooter to offer multiple targets and distract them. Another real world example was learning the difference between self defense and battery. Bergendahl states that "self-defense is [when] they did something, I reacted and did something back, and then 1 backed off. Battery is [ when] they did something, I reacted and defended myself, and now they are on the ground and I continue [to lash out]." Overall, survival skills are something that anyone can relate to and that can come in handy. John Aasen, a student that attended the event, said that it was useful because either "the worst does happen and it is an apocalypse or just regular self defense," He continued to say, "I think the skills we learned are very useful." The event was successful in relating to "Station Eleven" and the Big Read and it also provided relevant skills for the modern world.

UWPPD Emergency: 262-595-2911 Non-emergency: 262-595-2455 THE RANGER NE WS February 28,2018 4 | CULTURE "Station Eleven": Smooth and easy HOLLA.CE VILLARREAL Viila068@rangers. uwp. edu The Big Read has just begun and there are about two more weeks of activities left surrounding the book "Station Eleven". The plot (slight spoilers ahead) Our story starts out with Arthur, one of the main characters in the book, dying onstage of King Lear. Jeevan, a paparazzo turned EMT, runs onstage to try and save him, but his efforts seem to be in vain. Instead, while a cardiologist from the audience does CPR to try to revive Arthur, Jeevan goes to comfort Kirsten, a little girl who was acting as one of Lear's daughters, and the main protagonist of the book. After trying to revive Arthur, Jeevan receives a call from one of his friends, Hua, who works in a hospital. Hua tells him to leave town as quickly as he can, that there is an epidemic of epic proportions on the way. Jeevan decides to hole up in his brother's apartment building with mass amounts of food instead. Flash forward to the future: Twenty years after the outbreak, civilization is destroyed. Kirsten is travelling with a band of musicians and actors, the Travelling Symphony, and again acting in King Lear. Her troupe is there to preserve human culture, to not let people forget where they came from. They play Shakespeare because the people like it; they like to see "the best of humanity". Upon the caravans is a Star Trek quote: "Survival is insufficient". Kirsten keeps Station Eleven comics on her, gifts from Arthur when she was young. They were written by his first wife, Miranda, and she treasures them. Great readability and constant themes The first thing 1 noticed about Station Eleven was how it sucked you in. If you are worried about the time commitment to the book, do not be. The read is smooth and easy, captivating and compelling. The main characters, Kirsten, Miranda, and Arthur, are all multifaceted and interesting. Kirsten is the main protagonist of the story and she values culture of all kinds, values anything that preserves her humanity. Throughout the book there are stories of people clinging to culture in whatever form it takes. Before the collapse of civilization, Miranda throws herself into her work, creating Station Eleven (the comic) and Arthur wholeheartedly loves to act. After the collapse, Kirsten inherits Arthur's love for acting, playing in "high-brow" Shakespeare shows, while still collecting the "low-brow" media of comics, bringing Miranda and Arthur's interests together in her life. Kirsten's best friend, August, collects TV guides, despite the lack of TV. Clarke, Arthur's friend who escaped the collapse with Arthur's second wife and son, creates a "Museum of Civilization" inside an old airport to preserve the history of the world he once knew. Even by rejecting culture, the theme of culture still exists. Station Eleven takes place in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic. Tyler, Arthur's biological son, rejected the old world's culture and tried to create his own, becoming a lecherous prophet. But still, he practises a religion that goes back thousands of years and even obsesses over the Station Eleven comics in the same way that Kirsten does. Culture affects every aspect of life, regardless of what the person wants. Overall thoughts "Station Eleven" was definitely one of the best books 1 h ave read all year and, though the library is out of free copies, I hi ghly recommend going to find one at your local library or bookstore. Events „,;h hp on in a nn until March 14th! "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is unparalleled, a flawed masterpiece COURTESY OF WWW.KINGDOMCOMERPG.COM Warfare in "Kingdom Come: Deliverance." THOMAS GROBBEN grobbO01 ©rangers.uwp. edu Way back in 2011, a group of game developers in the Czech Republic founded a company called Warhorsc Studios. Little was known about the fledgling enterprise, except that they intended to develop an open-world roleplaying game that had its foundations in historical accuracy. For three years they languished in obscurity, until a Kickstarter campaign in 2014 brought them over 1.5 million dollars in funding. Their proposed game was to be called "Kingdom Come: Deliverance." After years of development and uncertainty, "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" was released on Feb. 13,2018. Although generally well-received, it has generated some polarizing reactions from fans and critics for its high level of difficulty, its uncompromising dedication to realism and the presence of an overwhelming number of technical issues. Trading fantasy for history "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" takes place in Bohemia in the early 15th century. You play as Henry, a blacksmith's son who becomes embroiled in a political conflict that threatens the very future of the Holy Roman Empire. After his village is burned to the ground, Henry is taken into the service of a lord who is willing to train him. This is not a fantastical tale of heroism; Henry is, and will forever be, a peasant with little to no status in the world. The game goes to great lengths to present its audience with an accurate, unadulterated picture of history. As such, Henry, being a peasant, is unable to read or write. If you want to decipher coded messages or read books, you are going to have to find a scribe willing to teach you how to read. Henry is also an untrained combatant, meaning that any of your initial attempts at battle will yield hilarious (and sometimes disastrous) results. Warhorse Studios have painstakingly developed a combat-system for "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" that closely resembles traditional Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).This means that fights are slow and deliberate, and will easily end in your premature demise if you rush in unprepared. Players will also have to make sure that they keep Henry healthy. If you forget to eat, you will starve. If you leave wounds unattended, you will succumb to those wounds. This is a heavy dose of realism for a generation of gamers have grown accustomed to fantasy roleplaying games like "Skyrim" and "Dragon Age." Czech out these bugs "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is a game developed by a small team that shoots for the stars in terms of scope, and this is evident in the perfonnance of the game itself. There are many bugs, or errors, that occur throughout the game's vast land, and these go a long way towards diminishing the realism that is so intrinsic to the experience. Technical glitches will often distract players during tense story sequences, and some performance issues may even prevent the game from being played at all. On the bright side, Warhorse Studios has been very open in its commitment towards continued support for the game, meaning that these issues will most likely be addressed in the future. Despite its many problems, "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" has provided me with an experience, unparalleled in terms of historical realism, that 1 will not soon forget. Underneath the glitches, there is an expansive and beautiful game waiting to be played by those who are not faint of heart. "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is a flawed masterpiece.

This Week in History: Murder in Stockholm BY RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers.uwp.edu One of the most influential leaders in European politics in the 1970s-80s was Prime Minister of Sweden, Olof Palme. The Social Democratic Party of Sweden had control when Palme came to power as Prime Minister and was responsible for stabilizing and improving Sweden by creating the most expansive social services in the world. Palme was an advocate of Sweden's moderate socialism and championed the wellbeing of his country. From challenging South Africa's Apartheid to tiying to resolve the tensions during the Iran-Iraq War, Palme can best be described as a European leader in ethics. Palme's life was as intriguing as his death was shocking. In what is often likened to a Swedish version of the J.F.K. assassination, Palme's life was cut short by a murder that to this day, remains unsolved. The specifics The morning of Feb. 28,1986, Olof Palme left for work, dismissing his bodyguards for the day for a bit of privacy. His work day began much like any other with calls and meetings till noon, when he had a single hour to himself before the official government luncheon at one that afternoon. No one knows what Palme did in his hour alone before the luncheon, but he showed up twenty minutes late to the function angry, upset, and refusing to tell anyone what was wrong. Only as the day went on did he seem to calm down. When Palme went home for the evening, his wife discussed going to go see a movie and maybe even meeting up with their son there, and decided to take the subway to the movie. Witnesses who saw Palme reported that when he got to the station he seemed nervous and moving in an odd manner. Palme arrived at the cinema with his wile, meeting his son and his son's girlfriend there. When the movie was finished, Palme decided he and his wife would walk home instead of taking the subway. Though it was late, windy, 19 degrees, over a mile walk, and his wife was tired, the two began to make their journey home. While Mr. and Mrs. Palme were walking home, a witness recalled seeing a tall and suspicious looking man in a dark coat walking across the street. He observed the man walking up to Palme and his wife before the assailant suddenly grabbed Palme by the shoulder and fired two shots into his back with a handgun. The stranger checked to make sure Palme was dead before running off. Who killed him? Police exhaustively searched for Palme's killer, but to no avail. After two years they took Christer Pettersson to court for the murder, but he was acquitted because they were unable to produce the murder weapon. The police had made supposed errors in procedures during his line up, and there was a lack of a clear motive. 1 here are dozens of conspiracy theories on Palme's murder but some of the most popular ones include that it was an assassination by a member of the Yugoslavian security service or that perhaps Victor Gunnarson, a Swedish extremist with a dislike for Palme, may have been the one to fire the fateful shots. Despite the numerous theories many still believe that it was Pettersson who killed Palme. Pettersson was a known criminal with a history of drug and alcohol abuse and had been once incarcerated for manslaughter. It is speculated that Pettersson may have mistook Palme for one of his ding dealers that frequented that particular path home, and that it was all a case of mistaken identity. Unfortunately, Pettersson died in 2004 and the case remains open to this day. February 28,2018 THE RANGER NEWS CULTURE | 5 "Sing Street": When impressing a crush goes too far Everyone wants to start a band at some point, but how many actually manage to pull it off? ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe037@rangers. uwp. edu The '80s was a strange time. A time of perms and neon clothing, but for our purposes today, we will focus on the really good music: Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, The Police, Bon Jovi, a-ha, Bowie, Queen and Madonna to just barely scratch the surface. "Sing Street", the 2016 romance/drama film out of Ireland, on the other hand, was not satisfied to just scratch the surface. The basics The film centers around a ragtag band of teens attending Synge Street Christian Brothers School in Dublin, led by Conor Lawlor. Conor's parents are constantly fighting, and when the family falls on hard times, it is Conor's education that suffers. Plucked from his reputable and expensive school, the fifteen year old was sent to Synge Street, where the strict Brother Baxter and a number of bullies make each school day a nightmare. We have all been there Having only made one friend in his first week, Conor's attention is drawn by a mysterious beauty across the street from his school. So what does our young Lawlor do? He tries to impress her, of course. How does he try to impress her ? By asking her to be in a music video for his band, obviously. So he has the girl for his band's music video, great. Now all he needs is a band! Sing Street is something of a departure from the other movies in UW-Parkside's foreign film series with its quick and witty dialog, sardonic characters, and up-beat soundtrack. If Aquarius, Things to Come, or The Salesman were not quite your cup of tea, give this one a try. Sing Street roused audiences with four awards for best original song, two for best use of music in a film, one for best actor in a supporting role, and best overlooked film of the year. Add a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture (musical or comedy) to that and a thirty eight other nominations, it could not be a terrible movie. Still not convinced? Jeez Director John Carney explores the relationships between siblings, parents, friends and crushes in this stellar coming of age story. Now, I am not afraid to admit that I am a little sick of comingof-age stories, with their profound teenagers and overused cliches, but Carney manages to put an original spin on the typical story that is so relatable. We have all wanted to impress our crushes, we have all had fights with our family, we have all wanted to be original, and at some point, we have all wanted to run away and abandon our lives. Sing Street encapsulates this in a one hour and forty five minute morsel that, at the very least, left me craving more. If you missed it at UW-Parkside, check it out on Netflix or your local library because, if you are anything like me, you will not regret it.

ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp.edu RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers.uwp.edu "The City" by Lori Nix is an eerily inspiring and thought-provoking art exhibition using models of abandoned and derelict locations. Nix's art depicts many everyday locations from shopping malls, laundromats, and salons to more unique ones such as a space center and a control room in an unknown context. Each model is meticulously crafted and seems so lifelike that at a glance one might not even know it is a model. It s i the details that make each scene so intriguing and yet so haunting. The photos depict only the manufactured and natural environment with no living subjects anywhere to be found which leaves the viewer wondering, "where did the people go?" A dark future This lack of humans is no coincidence and has an express purpose. Nix's exhibit challenges us to ask ourselves deeper questions about the future of life on Earth and the impact or our presence here. If this were truly the apocalypse, would we not see some sign of bodies, or have they already turned to dust with the passing of time? The images give us some idea of when they may have been taken but are vague enough in setting to leave us guessing. Is it tomorrow or twenty years from now? Nature seems to be taking these spaces back over, but ever so slowly. In "Library" we can see a tree growing directly from the linoleum tile floor. It has grown tall and is peeking through the roof, giving us a glimpse of a blue sky just beyond the building. In every photograph, we are left to wonder what is beyond the windows in the outdoors, each giving just a smal glance of what might be out there after we are long gone. Another world The viewer must question not only what is out beyond these partial views of singular rooms but what happened to make it this way. Whether humans have died off or simply up and departed the planet, leaving behind the ghost of the expansive civilization that once thrived there. In another photo entitled "Space Center" space suits of varying size are displayed in the center of a room scattered with futuristic artifacts and covered in moss. The suits and an alien purple sky outside the cracked windows evoke the thought that we may not even be on Earth anymore. This gives rise, once again, to the question of when these photos were taken. If the photo was indeed taken on another planet, how long could it have taken us to get there? If moss and other plants have grown and taken over the space, how long has it been abandoned? Above and beyond all else, "The City" tries to convey the message that the universe began in a certain state, and it will always return to that state, no matter how long it takes. This is the nature of the universe, and this is the hopeful note Nix surely wants to leave viewers with. jesstheskakid.com Underground Music That is Literally Underground Check out the Jess The Ska Kid Show bringing you Live Music, Band Interviews, and Stuff you should know. facebook ce-nVJrssthcskiikittf facebook Subscribe to: jesstheskakid YniiflffifS) Channel Hi 2310 S Green Bay Rd Racine, Wi www.petlandracine.com (262)598-1201 Follow: jesstheskakid jesstheskakid@gmail.com Google+ March 1 Lori Nix: The City I 8a.m.- 9p.m. I February 25-March 10 I Library March 2 Art in the UWP Library: Civilization & Extinction I 8a.m.-9p.m. IMarch 2 - April 30 I Library View original art from the UWP community relating to themes of civilization, culture, and extinction.

JOSEPH CANNING canni001@rangers.uwp.edu It is a leaden November day; the washed-out sun glints off the helmets of thousands of gathered soldiers who march shoulder-to-shoulder in synchronized blocks down a wide road. Crowds look on. Behind the soldiers there are columns of tanks, artillery, missiles, cars, and behind them, more soldiers. Above it all, fighter jets are screaming and belching fire. Now, imagine those troops are Americans. Imagine that street is Pennsylvania Avenue. Trump's parade That image may very well materialize in the coming monthsUnited States Secretary of Defense James Mattis confirmed on Wednesday, Feb. 7 during a White House press briefing that deliberation was underway at the Pentagon for the first American military parade since the Cold War. In fact, five different versions of the parade are under consideration. One version suggests timing the parade with the First World War's centennial. The request for such a parade came directly from U.S. President Donald Trump. The Washington Post reported that his words to defease staff were: "I want a parade like the one in France." The President was referring to the Bastille Day parade held in Paris each July. Wrong time But the prospect of a display of American military might is worrying given the current political climate. Tensioas between Russia and the United States bear upsetting resemblance to the Cold War. On the same day Mattis spoke to the press, Russian mercenaries attacked U.S. troops and their Syrian allies openly. Russia later reported that American bombers had engaged Russian troops. Conflicts between nations guised as support for foreign allies, so-called proxy wars, were once a common occurrence between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The current war in Syria certainly fits that description. Infamous for his sophomoric and provocative language online, Trump repeatedly goaded North Korean Leader Kim Jong-Un last September by referring to him has "Little Rocket Man" and threatening that the dictatorship wouldn't "be around much longer!" Those comments were in response to that country's developing nuclear program and militaristic aggression. Tramp's infatuation with atomic roulette puts millions of lives at risk. So does this military parade; it answers aggression with more aggression, and only makes the U.S. look weaker for it. Historically, America has hearkened to the sensible advice of Theodore Roosevelt "speak softly and carry a big stick." A capricious show of force now would suggest to the world that America's stick is perhaps not as big as it used to be. Wrong place Such a military parade would also be contradictory to the values and national spirit that American soldiers and veterans have fought to protect; many veterans have already voiced their concerns. The U.S. may have been forged in an armed straggle, but it never carried the same military legacy as countries like France or Russia that still hold military parades. Both of those countries hold annual parades to commemorate pivotal wars in their nations' histories. Tramp's motivations for his parade remain unspoken. In addition to being disrespectful, provoking, and baffling, the parade would surely be expensive. A military source told NPR costs might be as high as $50 million, while the Washington Post quoted a more conservative figure of $10 to $30 million. Regardless, unjustifiable expenses and popular outcry seem sure to rain out Trump's parade in time. February 28,2018 Community Connections: V^teraiTcTmilitary: there are services available KRYSTAL DODGE thom008@rangers. uwp. edu Nationwide, there is an increasing number of veterans entering higher education. While these students vary from a myriad of backgrounds and situations they are considered nontraditional students. These students tend to be older, and are considered transfer students due to the college credits earned while in the military. According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), "One of the biggest frustrations voiced by veterans is the daunting and unfamiliar bureaucracy of higher education." Some Veterans have difficulty adjusting to civilian and academic life. They may also have to recover from physical and psychological injuries sustained during their time of service. According to Villanova University, veterans face five issues while returning to college. These issues are being overwhelmed, adjusting to a new rhythm, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and boredom. According to the AAC&U these issues may be the cause for veterans not using all benefits available to them. They state, "Recent data from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) show that only a small percentage of veterans use all of their federal education benefits." There are many assistance programs available to veterans and active-duty service members. Tuition assistance and housing cost assistance are available for full time students. There is also assistance available to their survivors or dependents. The benefits available to veterans are the GI Bill, Vocational Rehabilitation, Veterans Education Grant, and many more that are listed on the UW-ParkThe Conservative Ranger: "Let's be America, not Iceland" in regards to Down Syndrome JIMMY GRAHAM graha028@rangers. uwp. edu In Oct. of 2017, Frank Stephens, a man with Down Syndrome and a Down Syndrome rights advocate, spoke in front of the U.S. Congress. He began his speech by stating, "I am a man with Down Syndrome and my life is worth living." The main point he was advocating for was that people with Down Syndrome have as much of a right to life as everyone else and unborn babies should not be aborted just because they have this condition. He believes people with Down Syndrome should not be seen as a burden to their parents, but as a blessing for all the joy they bring to their families. Iceland and Down Syndrome Frank ends his speech by saying "Let's be America, not Iceland or Denmark. Let's pursue answers, not final solutions." What he means is that the U.S. should not have the same attitude towards people with Down Syndrome as Iceland and many of the other so called "progressive" Scandinavian countries. Many in Iceland brag how they have nearly "eradicated" Down Syndrome from the country. The way they have gone about it is by encouraging parents to abort unborn babies that are found to have Down Syndrome and other things that are considered to them as birth defects. Many Down Syndrome and Pro-Life advocates find this practice to be outrageous and equivalent to genocide. Ohio's legislation towards down syndrome abortions On the contrary to Iceland, Ohio has done the opposite in its attitude toward Down Syndrome abortions. The State has recently passed a piece of legislation that I consider to be the right step in protecting the rights of unborn infants with the condition. This bill essentially makes it illegal in the state of Ohio to abort any unborn baby that is diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Any doctor who does can face up to 18 months in prison. My thoughts on this issue As someone who is Pro-Life, I am in full agreement with Frank Stephens on this issue. People with Down Syndrome should not be aborted just because they have this condition; they should have just as much a right to live as everyone else. I have personally met a few people with Down Syndrome. The people I met with the condition were very happy, caring, had great senses of humor and were productive members of society. It seems to me that many people view Down Syndrome as a burden to live with; however, that is not true. People with this condition may at times need a little extra help, but that does not stop them from leading productive and fulfilling lives and bringing joy to the lives of their loved ones.

A Message from Nature: Bloodshed in environmentalism ADELANA AKINDES akindO01 @rangers. uwp. edu Something I don't hear about too often is the bloodshed involved in environmental activism occurring around the planet. Industry continues to engulf the world and is pushing its way into every untapped natural resource, every land that never belonged to them. There are people who are fighting back and speaking up about the environment. There are people who dedicate their lives to defend the land and to defend each other. Often they are the original people of the land, the indigenous people with cultures, roots and livelihoods tied directly to the environment in which they live. And increasingly so, those who speak out are targeted and killed in order to silence the message that they carry. Countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia have the highest rates for these murders, with Brazil and the Philippines being the most deadly countries for environmental activism. Most of the violence takes place over land rights disputes, involving huge industries-the main ones being mining, agribusiness, damming, logging and peaching-and the indigenous communities of the area. Members of these industries often partner with gangs and militia, and in this way, they are able to kill those in opposition without repercussions. Last year, a documented 197 people have been murdered due to their environmental protests, which averages four people a week. The numbers have been compiled by Global Witness, a group that has been keeping track of these specific types of murders since 2002. Since then, over 1,000 murders have been documented, with the true number believed to be far higher. Some of the more well-known victims include environmentalist nun Dorothy Stang and indigenous land rights environmentalist Bertha Caceres. Yet far more victims have gone unnamed and unreported, and usually none get justice in the end. I still remember when I was first exposed to this information. It was in my Peoples of Southeast Asia class, an anthropology course I took here at UW-Parkside two years ago. I learned about this beautiful ceremony that occurs in the northern forests of Thailand, where monks wrapped the robes that were typically reserved for them around the trunks of trees. These "ecology monks" saw the deforestation in Thailand, caused by logging activity, and developed this practice in response. By ordaining trees as if they were monks, as if the trees were being initiated into monkhood, the monks were making a statement about the spiritual nature of the forests. I wasn't prepared to hear that one of these monks was stabbed to death. This type of peaceful environmental activism was still seen as a threat. The fight for indigenous people's rights to their own land is occurring across the planet. Even in countries where this extreme violence is not taking place, the battle is still going on. Just look at Standing Rock in North Dakota, or No Back 40 in Wisconsin. It's important to be aware of what environmentalism looks like across the world and across cultures. People are risking their lives everyday, armed with nothing but their voices. Adelana Akindes is a senior majoring in environmental sciences and is the treasurer of PEC. side website. UW-Parkside also has a Veteran Services office to help students through this transition period.

One of the biggest obstacles is not knowing what is available or where to go to get assistance.

During the first week of the semester, a lost freshman misunderstood their class schedule and wandered the tunnels beneath campus. Down in the darkness, they saw a horrific sight. A massive portal to an alternate dimension has opened beneath Wylie Hall. "It is probably just another project from the Chemistry Club," said Scruffy, a member of the custodial staff. "I would tiy not to stress about it." Bearly News is run by college students, so regardless of Scruffy's advice, we stressed about it. After our investigation of recent trends on campus, we have justifiable reasons to believe that the portal has been opened by Cthulhu, the ancient cosmic entity from Lovecraftian lore. Call of calculus Things began to appear amiss when the Necronomicon became the most popular text at the bookstore. Similarly, saggy pants and ugg boots have been replaced by the newest fashion trend of black cloaks with shadowy hoods. Administration even reports that thousands of requests have poured in for the school to add a certificate program for Eldritch magic. "The university takes pride in its acceptance of people from all ethnic backgrounds, so 1 wanted to keep an open mind," a campus recruiter commented, "However, I did notice an abnormally large spike in attendance from lizard people this semester. But hey, if it raises the graduation rate. I am perfectly okay with it." These strange clues around campus seem to verify the theory that Cthulhu has come to conquer UW-Parkside and add it to his subterranean kingdom. This opens the door for another question: what needs to be done about it? Grovelling 101 Hypothetically, exterminators could deal with the portal, but all of the qualified candidates have called the desolate Parkside tunnels "far too spooky" for them. Therefore, until the portal closes, all students are advised to appease any of Cthulhu's demands to avoid the consequences of his wrath. The RITA's costume department has been commissioned to add tentacles to Ranger Bear, and Straylight will now only be accepting submissions written in R'leyh Glyphs. From cowering in a broom closet, this has been the Bearly News. Praise Cthulhu, long may he reign.

Chancellor Ford throws military parade TRAVIS NORTHERN north004® rangers, uwp.edu Between making a controversial decision about forced dining plans and offering free tuition to lowincome students, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has made numerous national headlines over the last month. To draw attention away from its rival. UW-Parkside is throwing a sizable military parade next week. "I deem it perfectly necessary to demonstrate our school's raw might in such a public manner." UW-Parkside Chancellor Ford tweeted this morning. "1 will not be outdone by Rocket Woman Chancellor Blank." To afford the parade, the required expenses will likely include public funding, segregated fees, student donations, professor salaries, the school's computer system, the Den. and all of the curly fries that the Brickstone has left in stock. Without a doubt, it will be a costly endeavor. That being said, it if draws attention away from UW-Madison even for a minute, then no price is too high. — — — ^ ^— Your chance to win a $5 Erbert & Gerbert's gift card!

HOLLACE VILLARREAL Villa068@rangers.uwp.edu The more the Bearly News looked into our beloved school mascot, the more we realized: no one really knows where Ranger Bear came from. T. Ruxpin, our hired private eye, worked hard to dredge up some details while the Bearly News hoped someone could help to answer our questions. Questions unanswered "What do you mean, 'where did Ranger Bear come from'?" An alumnus asked, laughing over the phone, "The woods, of course!" "He lives in Petrifying Springs, right by campus!" His handler told the Bearly News, when we approached Ranger Bear at a press meeting. The bear himself would not take any questions. "He's been here longer than 1 have," the Dean of Students told us, "Longer than anyone, really. He's recently celebrated his 50th anniversary, you know." Sudoku His 50th anniversary? We had to know more. The Bearly News headed to the archives. Research time "W-what? Ranger Bear? I can barely believe that you care about him! He's harmless!" An archives worker expressed when we set to work. We dug through the hundreds of stacks of unread copies of The Ranger News, hoping for some clues. However, there seemed to be no mention of him. Nothing, not even a picture. However, all the newspapers seemed to be... missing something. "1 heard you were looking for information on Ranger Bear." A voice said from behind us. We started and turned to see the head archivist with a crazed look in her eyes. "I've waited years for this day, to find someone else as suspicious as 1 am."
