WPC is written and edited by in-Porkside's Student Newspaper students of the University of Wisconsin* SAMANTHA SCHMALING schma005@rangers.uwp.edu A current candidate in UWParkside's Search & Screen for the next chancellor is Deborah Ford. Ford is currently the Vice President of Student Affairs and Professor (non-tenured) at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida. Ford has been with the University of West Florida since February of 2003. Ford also served as the Vice President of Student Affairs, Dean of Students, and an Associate professor at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky from 1998 until 2003. In a student forum on April 29, Ford mentioned that she has "a passion for education, higher education." She first and foremost considers herself to be an educator and enjoys the opportunity to help and be an influence every day in her work. A student at the forum questioned Ford on how she would upproach current challenges at UW-Parkside. While Ford gracefully admitted that she didn't have a complete grasp on every challenge that the campus was facing, she assured the audience that she had discerned and heard a small view of current issues and had done research about problems that face the campus. Ford replied to the question by stating that she would address the issues of funding, affordability, and budgeting. To meet fiscal challenges she has the philosophy that "plan drives decisions." Ford would continue strategic planning that current Chancellor Lane Hams started. "People first, students first." It's all about retention-retention of staff through budget cuts and retention of students through changes at the campus, and to minimize the effect that they feel. She also addressed the catchphrase that UW-Parkside occasionally is known for: "The Best Kept Secret." She stated that this school isn't something that should be kept secret; we are a Dr Thomas Keon JOHNATHAN JACOB Jacob015@uwp.edu Currently the Dean for the College of Business Administration at the University of Central Florida, Dr. Thomas Keon seemed sincere as he fielded questions from faculty and staff for almost two hours on Tuesday morning. As a number of very important issues were discussed, Dr. Keon appeared to welcome the questions and offer clear and concise responses to all of them. One individual asked if he would be active in the community if he were chosen to he Parkside's next chancellor. He indicated that roughly half of his time would be spent on campus, while the other half would be spent in the community. He cited his desire to meet with people from different backgrounds as well a s a need for fundraising as his re asons for wanting to divide his time in such a manner. A related question asked about his experience connecting the university to the community. Dr. Keon discussed, in detail, the various aspects of his community-related experience. He mentioned his time as chair of a charter school for kids with dyslexia and his work with the Florida Council for Sustainability as just some of the things he has done to be active in the community. He concluded his response to this question by passionately emphasizing that the "community should feel that they own the university." Another individual asked about the research he has done on Parkside and his findings. He indicated that having a strong faculty and being very diverse were among the positives that he discovered. However, he also suggested that Parkside has not grown, in terms of enrollment, like other universities in the state. Additionally, he acknowledged that Parkside has a strong liberal arts tradition and a lot of first-generation students. He mentioned that the school might want to consider making changes to its web site in order to better advertise its strengths. Another question touched on a sensitive subject. A member of the audience asked Dr. Keon how he would address the issue of Parkside having a reputation as being the "college of last resort." Dr. Keon indicated that he would look into taking any initiative that could change this perception of the school, but stressed the importance of maintaining Parkside's diversity. Dr. Keon has a plethora of experience in different area of academics. He seems to take his work seriously and be passionate about what he does. The audience gave him a warm reception before he began speaking and a round of applause when he concluded. Will he be our next chancellor? Only time will tell.

Ford stressed the recruitment of students to UW-Parkside, and the retention of the students that are currently at the school. Ford .stated that one approach does not fit all of the students' needs; different students require different reasons to come to UW-Parkside and to stay here. Another student asked why the interest in UW-Parkside, and why now? Ford stated that] "there is an opportunity for me to lead and to grow. To be the part of a learning community that values diversity, inclusiveness, and a high quality of academic learning experiences." She assured the audience that she wants to make a difference, and joked that she doesn't just pick schools based on the weather. Ford stated that she had a lot of "sticking" power, and could see herself at UW-Parkside for many years.

The Ranger News has meetings every Friday at noon. All students and faculty of UW-Parkside arc welcome. Please feel free to attend. Have any comments, concerns, questions, or story ideas? Please e-mail us at: rangemews@uwp.edu . We are located at Wyllie D139C Each person may take one newspaper per issue date. Extra newspapers can be purchased for $1 apiece. Newspapers can be taken on a first come, first serve basis, meaning that once they are gone, they arc gone. We work on the honor system, but violators will be prosecuted for theft. Faculty members and students organizations who wish to use The Ranger News in classrooms should consult the editor-in-chief to reserve however many free copies they wish to use. a? Well, here we are. The very last printed issue of The Ranger News, probably forever. It's kind of a bittersweet moment, really. I'm excited and definitely looking forward to being online next year—saves time, paper, and trees. Being online makes our deadlines more flexible and allows us to be timelier with our news, which will reduce frustration and stress on all of us. On the other hand, though, I will definitely be missing the hard copy. I will miss the deliveries, the workout that comes with pushing a cart full of newspapers across campus and back, and tending the newsstands. I will miss Sundays, with Ruth and Cedric, working through the maze that is laying out an issue. Hell, I'll even miss the frustration that would come with Hometown telling me that the issues would be late because yet another piece of machinery broke down. Newspapers, unfortunately, are a struggling business these days due to high production costs and low hard-copy-readership. We are no different. Hometown is the cheapest publisher available to us; even then it's 700 dollars a week in processing, printing, and delivery costs. As much as I wish we could continue printing hard copies...it is just not feasible any longer. With budget cuts across the campus, we could no longer justify spending 700 dollars of student money per week on something that could be done more efficiently and for much less. After we've spent a year with online publishing we may choose to go back to printing a hard copy every so often, almost like a showcase of the month's articles. It will mostly depend upon what publishers are still in business and how much they would charge us. If it is something we feel like we can justify spending extra money on and spending the time on, we will return to a few printed issues per year. However, I do not see printed issues coming back as frequently as they are published now. I would like to thank everyone at Hometown Publishing for everything they've done for us for the past few years. Everyone here at The Ranger News appreciates the work and time they've put in to make sure we get our issues in good condition and as we laid them out. There have been glitches, but that happens in any business. I wish them the best of luck with everything, and hope that other newspapers and publications can continue to give them their business. As for us, this summer will be a lot of hard work to get the website up and running the way it should be. Right now, you can see a placeholder of sorts if you head over to therangernews.com. Come late summer or early fall that space will be changed drastically. The website will change daily, with news articles being published as they are written, sports articles up a few hours after the game, and with the same weekly content (movie reviews, opinions, comics, etc.) that we have now. It will definitely be a transition. I know we will have some difficulties at first, because that is to be expected when you make a big change like this. But I have complete confidence in the staff, and I think we will successfully be publishing online from now on. I hope you all are as excited as I am about this move, and I hope you will continue to read The Ranger News in its new format. Thank you again to Hometown Publishing for everything they've done, and a big, big thank you to the staff at The Ranger News this year. You guys have been excellent to work with, and I hope to see you all again in fall. Congratulations to those who are graduating!

The Oak Creek High School Marching Band was split in two and performed in two shows because there were too many students. The production was well received by students, "especially when the band came on. That was a lot of fun," said Kristin Gauger- Kiraly, a freshman majoring in math with two teaching certificates and a music minor. The show also featured a live pit orchestra. The Music Man is an American musical that takes place in River City, Iowa in 1912. A traveling salesman under the pseudonym Harold Hill makes a living by convincing small towns that they need a kids' band, selling them instruments, instruction books and uniforms, and leaving before the children even learn how to play. Trying his hand at the unfriendly River City, Hill and the town find that some things are more important than money. The show is known for the popular songs "76 Trombones" and "Till There Was You." Some of the many allusions to classical plays, music, and other sources were explained in the program, along with names of writers, composers, a racehorse; and other people mentioned in the play. KELSEYHOFF HotT0013@uwp.edu The University of Wisconsin- Parkside Theatre Arts Department has finished its year on a high note with Meredith Willson's "The Music Man". Directed by Dean Yohnk, the production took place in the UW-Parkside Communication Arts Theatre. The leading roles, Harold Hill and Marion Paroo were played by Karl Gfall and Robyn Schneider. The production was unique in a number of ways. No music majors were cast because of a scheduling conflict with a Music Department choral performance. The cast was made up of theatre majors or minors and children from the community. Four KELSEY HOFF HofTO013@uwp.edu Jason Lee is an independent contractor and chef who makes the Pan-Asian food for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and other schools and hospitals in the area. He currently has an account with Aramark, the food service company at UW-Parkside, and other locations. Aramark's contract is up and next year Sodexo will be taking over with a contract lasting up to seven years. This could be a great opportunity for all of the changes students would like to see with the food service, but it could also mean that Jason will lose this account. Lee is ready and willing to negotiate with Sodexo and he. hopes that they can see him as an asset to U\Y-Parkside's community. His company, Foodville, is local; with a strong start in Illinois, he has expanded north and hopes to move the center of his business nearer to Kenosha. That will lower the cost of his food on campus because he will not have to travel as far to get here. This all depends on how Sodexo sees Lee's company interacting with the community. He has made strong connections with Chef Joe Tominaro and Angela Jensen, Aramark managers who will have to reapply for their jobs. "Those are the two main people that I rely on," said Lee; "They give me the creativity, the freedom, and the support to develop a relationship with the students and improve our food quality." Lee and Jensen have been discussing a more extensive dinner menu featuring the more popular Cafe Creations and possibly a noodle bar. Though Sedexo will be able to talk directly to them, they will have a harder time hearing from the students. Lee says that comments from students should be emailed to DeAnn Possehl, the Director of Student Life. The Cafe^ Creations line at Brickstone Grill is long on Wednesdays. Students wait patiently to buy fresh, authentic Asian food made right in front of them by Lee, some staying for a few minutes to chat. He has a bit of a following; besides asking students about the food, he has also worked with student organizations like PAO. They organized a free spring roll workshop with Lee, who "can relate to the students," according to Ourlee Ourun, PAO treasurer and junior majoring in business finance. "He's a very approachable person," she said, and he is "willing, to help the orgs." Other students buy his packaged food throughout the rest of the week and many do not realize that he comes in every day to make it in advance. Lee was born in South Korea and moved to a suburb of Chicago in 1992. He is "maybe only one of three other workers of Asian descent," said Philip Noinaj, a junior majoring in accounting and PAO representative. "He contributes to diversity in their workplace." Noinaj is also of Asian descent and frequently comes to school early to purchase Lee's Cafe Creations. LEFT out CULTURE The Ranger News . J^KIRST logos, to minting a A . , . son the JO KIRST jo@ therangernews.com This past week, four senior art majors had their student showcase in the art gallery in the Communication Arts building. Andy Adamak, Juan Munoz, Josh Frazer, and Tony Kinnard were the featured artists in this senior show, and all showcased some excellent work. With a large variation in drawing styles, mediums, and moods, the artists' pieces ranged from long-standing webcomics to simple animations, sketchbooks, demo reels, websites and studio logos, to paintings. Adamak had a more complex 3D animation featuring the Dead Parrot skit Irorn Monty Python's Hying Circus which could be heard throughout the gallery as it played on a continuous loop. Artist Andy Adamak spent at least 120 hours on all his pieces lor the show, which included a comic, sketches, a website, the 3D animation, a demo reel, and a series of prints entitled "Life C ode', which is programming code printed over graphics, going through the cycle of life—birth to death. Adamak liked all his pieces for different reasons. Some showed his humorous side such as Life in the Jungle, a comic featuring a rather sinister, depressed lion who is held in captivity at a zoo. Other pieces showed a more serious side to his artwork. Josh Frazer spent an entire semester on his pieces, although Nautilus was a continuation of a webcomic he had previously been working on. He commented that all the pieces in the show turned out nice, and he could not pick a favorite. When asked about the challenges they faced, Adamak and Frazer had different answers Frazer found the gallery to be a "huge space" at first, and was nervous about collaborating with the others. Adamak had some technical difficulties with his projector and DVD player for the Dead Parrot skit, although everything turned out in the end. After graduation these two artists will be continuing in art. Adamak will be spending a summer in California, and hopes to get into animation or web development after. Frazer is hoping for a job in comics or graphic design, and intends to continue Nautilus. Frazer also commented that there are a lot of cartoonists at Parksidc, and he would like to see them meet up at some point, share information, and perhaps collaborate on projects.

If angels were to govern men! neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." The above quote, written by James Madison in 1788 in The Federalist No. 51, eloquently expresses a fundamental problem 1 see in governance: corruption. To this day, virtually everyone accepts that there is corruption in governance. Disagreements about the extent of corruption are usually discussed as matters of degree— i.e., how much corruption exists. Politicians are often considered greedy, dishonest or untrustworthy, but we've grown to expect and embrace that. We tolerate lies. We tolerate wasteful taxing and spending policies. We tolerate special interest solicitations. We even tolerate the subjugation of our legal procedures and civil rights to vague and ambiguous declarations of security "threats." are the sorts of Practices that we more or less expect from our elected (o selected) offices as a matter l °Te' A"y squabbles we have about corrupt government practice lunge on whether or not our officials do "too much" of the above at any given time. Men may not be angels in our view, but that is a far cry from believing that men can be demons. To believe that men could be demonic would be to say that men are capable of tar worse than the "routine" varieties of corruption we've all grown to accept." To entertain such a thought would be to not only consider corruption in terms of degree, but also in terms of kind -i.e. the nature of the corruption. Such a consideration would ask, "What sort of corruption is our government actually capable of?" As you might expect, I've asked myself this question, many times, over many years My answer? Our government is capable of far worse corruption than we should ever tolerate. Naturally, many of you will not agree with my conclusion; as well you shouldn't, at least not on the face of it. However, I do encourage you to consider one case in point that blows the whole discussion wide open. That case is the World Trade Center disaster of September 11, 2001. h v M°Stu °f Pr°bably believe ,hat 19 Arab fh J°!Tercial airllners in'° on?'" Trade Center towers °n 9/11, and as a result of the impact damage and ensuing nres caused those buildings to cnimble to the ground. This is, of course, what government entities such as the Federal emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Institute atd Technni»gy (IN1ST), and the so called "independent" 9/11 Commission would have you believe. If th ese government bodies were made up of angels, or something slightly less than angels, you might be able to believe them. If, however, men are even more devious than Madison anticipated, believing these government bodies on their claims alone could prove to be disastrous. There are a number of individuals and groups who have contested the government's version of 9/11 publicly. David Ray Griffin, a former professor of philosophy and theology, has written a number of carefully worded books challenging the government's version of 9/11 and arguing that the government was most likely involved in the crime. Most recently a consortium of scientists, including former BYU physicist Steven Jones, published a peer-reviewed Are We Too Busy? PATTT JENSEN student body president to insist organize ourselves and make it jense055@uwp.edu If someone asked you for help, what would your response be? I suppose the answer would depend on the person asking and the nature of the request. The main factor most people consider is whether or not they have the time to help you. They weigh their list of things that must be done and the time in which they have to accomplish those tasks. What is the likelihood that the reply to the request will be "Yes."? It's the end of the semester, and here at Parkside, everyone has lots of things to do. Staff, faculty, students, administration, all have a long list of "must complete" chores and the end of the semester is the deadline. What I find most disturbing is the dirth of interest in the world around us. The common goal of all Parkside students is graduation. Everyone pushes themselves to obtain the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the diploma. But what is supposed to happen during the time between starting your college career and graduation? Parkside has suffered from the lack of involvement by students. We have' had two scandals, several search and screens, budget cuts, several questionable decisions by the student senate, and most recently, the request by the that instructor attendance at graduation ceremonies be made mandatory. How can students possibly have an effect on any of these events? - You may ask. Consider the founding date of UW-Parkside: 1968. What was going on back then? The answer is student protests. The late 1960's were filled with turmoil, but an enlightening fact is that student protests escalated to the point that the administrations of many universities made significant decisions based on these student protests. The administrative offices of Parkside are located in a distant part of Wylie Hall with limited access so as to prevent "out-of-control" individuals from harming administrative offices or personnel. I suggest this was done in response to the turbulence of that time period. Here is something to consider: your tuition dollars drive this school to its destination. While I admit that student tuition dollars are not the largest component of the university budget, it is still a significant portion. Your opinion is requested by many because, quite frankly, they want your money. Not only that, but funds from the State of Wisconsin come here based on the fact that you attend this university. So, what does this mean? It means that if we really want change, the answer is to happen. We make this university what it is. Faculty, staff and administration need us as much as we need them. If we want to impact the choice of the next Parkside chancellor, submit an informed opinion to at least the website if not the chancellor's area. If we want women's needs and issues addressed, first figure out what we want, then bang on the door until we get the request fulfilled. If we want everyone on campus to get a fair shake, then we can insist that this happens in a fair, unbiased manner. If we want events to happen a certain way, go to Student Activities and say something, or at least send an email. The million dollar question is "will we care enough to change what needs to be changed at Parkside by making it a priority in our schedules?" I welcome reader responses. article in The Open Chemical Physics Journal entitled "Active rhermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe" (available tree at http://bentham.org/open.) I he article states the following: "We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in significant numbers in dust associated with the World Trade Center destruction...we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material" In short, this paper argues that distinctive evidence of thermite (a type of explosive) was found in samples of dust from the Twin Towers on 9/11 —something that could not have been put there by 19 hijackers flying commercial airplanes into buildings. This paper's findings, in my view, supports a developing body of independent research that asserts that the World Trad e Center skyscrapers could not have collapsed on 9/11 because of airplane crashes alone, and identifies government entities as co-conspirators in the crime by virtue of the complexity of the crime itself, and the extent of the contradictions in the government's coverwbflt s not story—a charge that, if true, would demonstrate a significant deviation from what we generally consider "acceptable government corruption." Since I find the case for government complicity in 9/11 extremely compelling, 1 argue that Madison's critique of human nature falls short of what humans arc capable of when entrusted with governmental authority—i.e., there is something very sinister about a government who conspires to destroy civilianoccupied skyscrapers under the guise of Arab terrorists. While the details of 9/11 far exceed the scope of this opinion article, suffice it to say that there are a host of works available that outline the arguments for government complicity in the crime. Unfortunately, little attention is given to this issue in the mainstream media so if you wish to learn more about it, you must explore alternative media outlets. If you find yourself rejecting my assertion that our own government was somehow involved in the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11, ask yourself: Why? If you know your government is corrupt, how do you know the limits of its corruption? Anyone interested in more information about 9/11 should feel free to email me. A year in review ADAM SPIVEY spiveyadam@yahoo.com So, this about wraps it up; this is the last hard copy issue there is going to be. It's actually hard to imagine. I think that "hard to imagine" has been a theme of these past nine or ten months. This has been one hell of a year. There has been lots of changing going on at Parkside, as well as in the nation. Student government has rearranged the way it does things, and has seen political change within the school; we have the first black president of the United States, huge changes in the way our economy functions, stimulus plans, elections, the Ranger News is going online, impeachments and all sorts of political hell has broken loose, talk about a great time! That being said I want t o take this moment to appreciate all the things that have changed over the year, me included. I think change is often fought against and feared, seldom welcomed OPINION PA£E by the public. Though not all of the changes have been for the better, (I mean who really wants economic Armageddon?), a lot of movement in the right direction has been made; I'd like to see this momentum keep going this coming year and sec how far we can evolve as a society into something greater than we are now. Lastly, thank you everyone who has read along and encouraged me to continue to keep writing and submitting my thoughts to the paper, and thank you again for the conversations about those thoughts and ideas and taking the time to speak with me about them in a constructive manner. 1 invite all the of the Ranger News faithful to join us online next semester and keep the flow of ideas and change alive. It would be great to sec more people writing opinions next year. This semester has been an awesome thing to be a part of, so I am looking forward to another year of throwing ideas out there for debate.

Governor Doyle's new plan appropriates $25 Million from UW System student fees and uses it to pay for tuition grants across the state. In response, the Parkside Student Government (PSG) is treating the reversal of this decision as its top priority. PSG plans to set up a hotline through which UW-Parkside students can call Governor Doyle's office directly to voice their displeasure. PSG President Theodore Ruffalo has already begun to personally reach out to local and state officials for help. The hope is that the governor will see that this decision is detrimental to students, not just at UWPafkside, but all across the state, and that it sets a bad budgetary precedent about which all Wisconsin residents should be concerned. "The Governor is indirectly stealing student money to pay for state debt," Ruffalo stated, also pointing out that Doyle would be, "...effectively double taxing one of the poorest economic groups in the state and laying claim to their money because it is kept in the state treasury." Students at Parkside have proven to be very politically active since the last presidential election. Over 80% of the students turned out to vote in that election, and in elections this month, one member of PSG, Carl Bryan, even won i seat on the Kenosha School Board. PSG has also maintained an open line of communication with several state and j local officials, including State Senator Robert Wirch, himself a UW-Parkside alumni. Ruffalo has made it a point to ! take several trips to Madison in the last year to makes sure that legislators in the capitol know the concerns of his fellow students. In this instance, the students of UW-Parkside are concerned that Governor Doyle is essentially asking them to pay their own financial aid from money that has already been allocated for other purposes. Student fees are currently used to fund various programs at each campus ranging from diversity education to student health services. The primary problem students have with Doyle's planned raid on student fees is that it forces the students to increase those fees in order to pay for a financial aid system that is intended to make education affordable for all. Instead of helping ease the cost of attaining a higher education, the governor's plan essentially makes it more expensive in the end. The Parkside Student Government sees Governor Doyle's plan as shortsighted and meritless because it creates an ouroboros effect on funds that the students have already agreed to charge themselves and have budgeted for use. President Ruffalo summed it up succinctly, saying, "The cash the Governor sees on the books is not just free money for the taking, it is already spoken for by the students to fund programs they already have a difficult time affording." I PSG plans to start helping students contact the governor's office by phone by next week, and various meetings with other school and state officials are currently taking place to help contest Governor Doyle's budget plan. Anyone interested in weighing in is encouraged to contact the governor or his or her state representative. Questions about PSG's stance on Governor Doyle's budget plan, or other PSG initiatives, may be directed to the Parkside Student Government at psga@uwp.edu via email or by calling 262-595-2036.

Currently, the first purpose of the rain garden (removing invasive species) won't come into play as much. The Environmental club added that by creating this rain garden, they are encouraging native animal and plant diversity. However, the rain garden will play a large part in collecting water off of the residence hall roof top. The Environmental Club explained that, "Too often our rain waterfalls onto impermeable surfaces and then rushes into streams and rivers. This brings dirt, which is the largest pollutant in the United States, into tributaries and eventually into lakes and oceans. A rain garden slows the flow of the water which in turn reduces flooding and drought." The rain garden is funded by Root-Pike WIN, who donated the plants, the Environmental Club, the Student Organizations Council, and UW^- Parkside students who raised money through a penny war.

The infamous game of "Zombies Vs Humans" was played by many of students all last week. The random, however entertaining event had many non-players talking about it over dinner one night. If such an event can get so much attention I wonder what will happen next? From the many Zombie attacks during the day to the night missions this adventures game definitely caught my attention. Many of the weapons the Humans use are very strange, from noodles that you use in swimming pools to socks, and even marshmallows. I didn't know that marshmallows, socks, and noodles stunned Zombies; l wonder what movie that's from? Parkside's Association of Wargamers (PAW) had an remarkable idea when throwing this event, even though only about 60 students played. I know that next year there will be so many more players just because of how unique this event was. This event brought plenty of people together from lots of different organizations and others not in any organizations at all. r ,. JV^^lei1 * first got involved 1 chdn t want to be turned into a Zombie because I thought it wouldn't be fun. I found out that being a Zombie is more fun than being a Human because Humans can only wait to be attacked and Zombies get to team up together and go hunting. Friday night April 24, 2009 at 8:00 a mission started-the Humans had to "save rescuers" that got attacked by Zombies. The Humans would meet at a place in the school and wait for the E-mail that would tell them where to go. The Zombies had to find out where the Humans would be and attack. At first I started out with the Humans looking around every corner and end hoping to not see any Zombies. I ended up with the Zombies in the middle of the mission, getting pelted by marshmallows. This mission lasted about two hours and I was not paying attention to the time one bit. I must give props to the Parkside Association of Wargamers for bring this even to us for it was one of the college experiences I was not looking for but glad I found. I just hope this event continues for years to come because next time I will turn someone into a Zombie, you mark my words, even if this game scared me for life. Lemonade BY MICHAEL RIEDLINGER riedl001@uwp.edu May 2009 Graduate Next month, several hundred students will achieve the goal they have been working towards for lour, or let's be honest, five plus years. These students, myself among them, will be walking in the graduation ceremonies to take place here at Parkside. We will stand proud, looking out "to the crowd to see the smiling faces of the friends we have made, the family who have supported us, and the faculty who have fostered us over these long... Waft a second... The faculty may well not be there at all! In fact, if something happens to the lemon squares they have been promised as an incentive to show up in the first place, we might not see any of the professors we have come to respect and whose respect we hope we have earned in return. There isn't a rule or bylaw that requires them to be present at our commencement, nor should one truly be required. After all, who but the faculty would know better the time and effort spent acquiring an undergrad or graduate diploma? There is a sense of pride and tradition we all have upon reaching our mutual goal, and I for one would like to think that the mentors arid champions of higher education I have had the privilege to learn from would be there to celebrate, not only our accomplishments, but theirs as well. . Not every student graduates Just ask the members of Alpha Sigma Lambda, many of whom are graduating after many years of hard work and perseverance. To receive a Bachelors Degree takes a solid investment of time, energy, and sacrifice. Some are finally reaching that most ultimate of goals only after their second of third attempt. That the goal has been attained certainly has meaning, and we who have attained it wish to share our victory with everyone who has helped us get there. That includes the professors who have helped shape us as scholars in our own right. One afternoon, a few hours in the very twilight of our scholastic sojourn, is all we ask of them. We want them, of all the shepherds we have come to know, to bear witness to the final pulse of energy before our chrysalises crack and we take flight on the wings they so carefully spent years fostering. We h ave a right to be proud of the dreams we have realized, and all we ask is that they join us in celebration of the quest they have helped us complete. I encourage all of the faculty reading this to join us in that celebration on May 16, 2009. 1 personally invite all the professors who have seen me through to this end to attend the ceremony you yourselves once enjoyed. I think everyone graduating this May should do the same. Stop your professors in the halls, or swing by their offices unannounced, and invite them personally to join us in the final moments of this, one of our greatest achievements.

Prairie burn re*,:f^l:-™~1 1 TWv u wi.„ahroHL.,il«L.. .. JOSHUA BRADLEY Joshuabradley 11 @hotmail.com In a time of urban sprawl, the University of Wisconsin- Parkside's prairies guard the campus, sweeping out majestically from the building far into the horizon. UW-Parkside is proud of this unique wild space. Some may have been confused to see the prairies ablaze on the morning of April 6. Members of Facilities Management stood guard, keeping the controlled flames from crossing the firebreaks. One guard posed for a picture as orange flames consumed the yellow grass behind him. The 'prescribed bum' is an artificial method for maintaining prairie health. Long before European settlers arrived to the Wisconsin area, lightning strikes and Native Americans created fires that could consume hundreds of acres. While temporarily destroying the landscape, fires cleared brush that kept young plants from growing and killed non-native, or 'invasive', species. Without prairie bums, forests would choke out the vibrant ecosystem that relied on fire. Though no longer a natural mechanism, the prescribed burn IS advocated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as necessary for a high quality prairie. One study showed a 400 percent increase of flowering plants for up to two years after a burn. To keep Parkside's prairies healthy, the prairies are burned every three years, according to Dave Olson, Assistant Director of Facilities Management. Many sections of prairie were burned, though not all at the same time. On April 16, ten days later, the section east of Tallent Hall was burned. The amount of time between bums can be explained by the necessity of finding the 'perfect weather' to bum. Wind direction, humidity and precipitation all must be monitored closely. Once the weather had been forecast and the firebreaks set, Parkside called out the fire department and lit the grasses. The now blackened soil will absorb solar energy, encouraging seed germination and root growth. The prairies will be seen flowering all summer long. Global Village SAMANTH A SCHM ALING schma005@rangers.uwp.edu The Global Village Living -earning Community will be coming to the new Suites at he University of Wisconsin- Parkside in the fall of 2009. The Residence Life and Center for the international Studies presented his new opportunity to UWaarkside students. The Global Village is designed to create a place for international and domestic ;tudents to live in a joint environment. It is an ideal living situation for international and exchange students, for students hat study foreign languages ind foreign affairs, and also for students who are planning on studying abroad. The purpose of the Global Village is to provide a new experience for students who are interested in learning more about world issues and cultures. The living environment is designed to build an inter-culture community. Students that live in the Global Village are expected to actively participate in organizing and implementing cross-cultural programs. There is a fee of 100 dollars, in addition to the room charges, to cover the cost of special programs and services that the Global Village will offer. A preview of the programs will be offered especially to students living in the Global Village include: international film screenings, community service activities, day trips to cultural community events and other outings, and culture nights. It is-encouraged that students who would like to live in this community have interest in meeting people from all over the world, have interest in learning about other cultures and share their culture with one another, be enthusiastic and curious about living in an international community, and actively participate in the international - and intercultural programs of the Global Village. The students that live in this community determine what types of activities they would like to see come to the Global Villag and what they are interested i becoming involved in. Studer feedback on the Global Village i a crucial part of the development process of the international community. The International House on the outskirts of campus wil be closed starting next fall. Th students who generally live i the International House will be encouraged to live in the Global Village if they are interested. UW-Parkside felt that it would be better to have th residents of the Internatiom House closer to the main campu and closer to students wh reside in Ranger Hall and th Apartments. The Global Villag will provide more housing fc international students to live tha "We've got issues" the previous International House held for them. UW-Parkside students can apply for the Global Village Learning Community by visiting the housing website and choosing the Global Village as their top choice.

I've been doing a bit of research to see how other UW campus newspapers keep on top of their websites and online journalism. I don't intend on copying their procedures, but since we're venturing into uncharted territory here, there's no harm in some reconnaissance... right? I have to admit, I'm REALLY excited about this. Instead of being a weekly like we've been for...years, we'll be as up-to-date as possible on as many topics as possible. Sports articles will be up the same day as the game. Other time-sensitive events will be covered as quickly •as possible. We'll still have our regular, weekly updates, I'm sure. If nothing else, the website will constantly be changing. Once it really takes off, I hope to get some archives of old issues up. This may be in the form of PDFs from the more recent years, or maybe IU1 scan in issues that existed long before InDesign did. Hopefully this will allow students, staff, faculty, community members, and others to search for specific topics or articles. Since we're going online and vastly improving the quantity of our articles (being able to publish more often means we can cover more topics, events, and issues), we're going to need a lot of writers. Reporting is relatively simple, although it is a skill that takes some fine-tuning. However, if you are willing to learn, we are more than willing to have you! Come down to our office in the Student Center to fill out an application. We're desperately looking for sports writers. If you have a strong interest in sports and good writing skills, please join us! Even if writing isn't your thing, we'd still love to have you. You can become a photographer with us, a copy editor, an advertising representative, or even a marketing director! Any of these positions are also available as a 3-credit internship. I hope you all are as excited as the staff here at The Ranger News l's ab out moving to online publishing. We will all miss the hard copies, but perhaps in time we can manage to print once a month as a showcase of articles. For now, we're going to take a dive into the deep end and try something completely different. Enjoy our third-to-last issue on paper! See you next week.

Harold Hill is the Music Mari'--a con artist who arrives in sleepy River City, Iowa, hawking band instruments and uniforms and promising to teach local kids to play using his revolutionary "Think System." Hill knows nothing about music but he's confident he can skip town before his deceit is discovered. Although skeptical at first, River City allows itself to be seduced by Hill. Almost miraculously, the town and its people are transformed by music. Then Hill himself is transformed when he unexpectedly falls in love with Marian Paroo, the town's librarian. Drawn from Willson's memories of his Mason City, Iowa, hometown, "The Music Man" is a Valentine to small town America. Beginning with the mood setting "Iowa Stubborn," the play is packed with great music from the tenderness of "Goodnight My Someone" and "Till there was You" to the rousing "Trouble" and the climactic "'Seventy- Six Trombones." The music is mixed with numerous dance numbers including the delightful Shipoopi." Marching bands Irom high schools in Wilmot, Oak Creek, and South Milwaukee and the Emerald Knights Band of Kenosha provide music for the play's triumphant close.

ARTS CULTURE The Ranger News April 21, 2009 Parkside's very own musical artists ADRIANA ALEXANDER alexa016@uwp.edu This Wednesday's Concert was from our very own students here at Parkside This event took place in the Ballroom, and was a real eye-opener. Everyone was very pleased and impressed to see how Paikside's musicians have come so far and have done a spectacular job at expanding their talents and skills. Colin Galitz, an Eb trumpet musician, earned an Irene Laning Memorial Scholarship. At the Noon Concert, he did an excellent piece by Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) called "Concerto". Any other trumpet player would be able to relate to his talent because it goes beyond measures. The pianist, Fumi Nishikiori, accompanied him. Performing "The Vagabond" by R. Vaughn Williams, was Joshua Holte. He is a tenor of Parkside's first Music Ensemble who received the Mary M. Kamakian Memorial Scholarship. Accompanying him was the pianist, Alejandro Alumbreros. Sara Reilson, playing the Euphonium, played the "Sonata in F-minor", movements 3 and 4, by George Philipp Telemann (1681-1767). She was also accompanied by Fumi Nishikiori and also received the Irene Laning Memorial Scholarship. Julianna Frey, a soprano accompanied also by Alejandro Alumbreros, performed "Das Veilchen" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. She received the Music Department Scholarship. No other soprano would ever relate to Frey. Her voice goes beyond most and is filled with passion and confidence. Receiving the UW-Parkside Academic Scholarship was David Dvorak. Dvorak, playing the trombone, performed in A Capella, the Improvisation No. 1 for solo trombone by Enrique Crespo (b. 1941). Jane Wermeling, who performed "Autumn Evening" by Roger Quilter (1877-1953) singing mezzo-soprano, received the Brian John Martin Memorial Endowed. Her accompanist was Alejandro Alumbreros. Brad Karas,' who played string bass, performed "Chanson Triste" by Serge Koussevitzky (1874-1951). He received the Lilian James Memorial Scholarship. His accompanist was also Alejandro Alumbreros. Last but definitely not least, Timothy Keith received the Music Department Scholarship. He performed "The Bird and The Beast (an essay)" by Celius Dougherty (1902- 1986). Alejandro Alumbreros accompanied him. To see our musicians show their outstanding progress and continuance in making Parkside proud brings joy, entertainment, and motivation and determination to the audience and future musicians. CONCERT SCHEDULE 04-22-09 UW-Parkside Brass and Flute Ensemble; University Ballroom 04-29-09 UW-Parkside Guitar Ensemble; CART D118 05-06-09 UW-Parkside Percussion Ensemble; CART D118 Counterfeiters: Fake money, real story terfen JOHNATHAN JACOB Jacob015@uwp.edu Directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky, Counterfeiters serves as a chilling dramatization of the horrors associated with the Holocaust. As the title indicates, the plot revolves around the illegal production of currency, but the moral dilemmas and fears that are present throughout the film prove to be at the heart of the story. The story's protagonist, Sally - Sorowitsch,played by Karl Markovics, is extremely artistic and uses his skills as an unparalleled counterfeiter. This illegal activity leads to his arrest and imprisonment at a Nazi-lead concentration camp in Sachsenhausen, Germany during the Second World War. Ironically, the Nazi officers make it known early on that they will use Sorowitsch's skills to their fullest advantage. It is their mission, by maintaining an elaborate counterfeiting operation, to not only destroy the. economies of. Britain and The United States, among other countries, but to make the oppressive Communist Nazi regime the strongest economic and political machine in the world. This situation represents a significant moral dilemma for the prisoners. Many agree with Sorowitsch: going along with the Nazis will not only earn tehm better treatment, relatively speaking, but will also increase their chances for survival. However, this attitude is met with fierce resistance by Burger, a rebellious young inmate who is adamantly opposed to doing anything that will assist the Nazi efforts. On several occasions, he attempts to sabotage the counterfeiting operation. This causes him to be at constant odds with Sorowitsch. And the tension only escalates when the fake money is inspected and considered to be "genuine." The conflict between Sorowitsch and Burger is indicative of the Holocaust as a whole; you either swallow your pride and do whatever it takes to survive, or you rebel and get killed. Ultimately, the approach of both men is admirable. While they disagreed, they both had the same motive: to defeat the Nazis. Thankfully, their suffering would eventually come to an end when the war was over. Counterfeiters is an excellent film, but be prepared for graphic violence and disturbing images. CULTURE The Ranger News M '• m * April 21,2009 Asian GEORGE LASLEY heritage month celebration" B Lasle000@Uwp.Edu On April 15, 2009, at noon, Kao Kalia Yang, the author of The Late Homecomer, a Hmong family memoir, spoke out on Asian human rights. As the first a Hmong writer to get a book published, Yang is also a professor and a keynote motivational speaker who motivates about humans rights. Her intellectual and charismatic demeanor allows her metaphorical messages to be understood in depth. Yang introduces personal stories that were influential. She says, "As a little girl her father held her up and told her that she was above the 40 acres of pain and misery that they were accustomed to in their refuge camp in Laos." The metaphor that her father explained to her is just another informative ideology that help explains what many went through in their refuge camps. Her father also told her at a young age that a lion is magical because of its bold and fearless characteristics. She says, "Her father was explaining to her the importance of survival. There is a great destination for those who are brave." This opportunity allows audience members to hear direct experiences that have transformed her into becoming an outstanding person. As Yang says, "The world can not understand us if we do not voice our differences; we are not the authors of our stories. If we are important, we might receive a page. Our lives affect everyone that lives and die because out lives breath on in others. There were questions asked, and there were questions that were asked specifically to Asians and Asian Americans. The question that they were asked was "How does it feel to be an Asian or an Asian-American here at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside"? Moua Thao, a ju nior, says, "It feels like I am walking into a very small environment with Asians, while the campus is populated with other ethnicities". Emily Vang says, "I am constantly living in two different worlds, torn between American's and Hmong's values. Professors expect me to be the 'model minority.' Being Hmong is a burden and a gift, but I would choose to be Hmong again if I could". Ruth Briones says, "It's great because we represent a completely different culture and ethnicity, as Asian-Americans. Also, as a member of PAO, I have the opportunity to share the Asian culture to the student body and throughout the community. 1 am thankful that there are departments here at Parkside, like the Multicultural Students Affairs, which gives support to people of color," Ourlee Ourun says, "1 am a Pacific Islander, which is considered difficult because everything is new to me and 1 believe that no one can really understand me. where I come from, or how 1 see things. But I do socialize with different people. It is also difficult because there are not a lot of Asians here at Parkside It's like I'm stuck in my Asian group because of their support. Even though this is a small campus, for minorities it is hard for Asians to get heard. I feel like I have to work 10 times harder than others because of what I look like. It's ok though; what does not kill me only makes me stronger".

For those who thought exactly that, you're right. Well, today I'm here to add on to that "assness" by taking a few shots at some of my scholastic peers and workmates. My complaint: People - even college-educated peopledo not know how to write! What started as a pet peeve of mine while I was in college, slowly morphed into an annoyance when I began working for The Ranger News, and now is just a full-blown outrage since I've been in the workforce. The Ranger News itself has received considerable criticism for the quality of its published articleswhich have been well-deserved m my opinion-but that doesn't even scratch the surface of some of the articles that have crossed editors desks that never even made it into print. While 1 was an editor for the paper, 1 would literally spend hours trying to rework articles just to make the sentences coherent, let alone say anything substantive. It was beyond ridiculous that what I saw was from college students. I can only imagine what some of the professors on campus have to deal with. Now that I am employed in the community, I again have been confronted with instances of poor writing. I have seen important documents printed on agency letterhead contain numerous spelling and grammatical mistakes. Again, the sources of these mistakes are collegeeducated people. 1 can t believe so many people are bad at putting words and sentences together. Writing is an extension of language; and language is the formalization of communication. Society, as a social apparatus, depends on the ability of its members to communicate clearly and effectively in order for the society to function optimally. Without the ability to communicate effectively, how are we to understand each other? Ask any relationship guru and they are most likely going to tell you that the key to any healthy relationship is communication. Society as a whole is one big relationship, so communication skills are just as crucial en masse. Unfortunately though, my observations have suggested to me that many of my peers and coworkers are sorely lacking in writing skills. Maybe this factor relates to why society suffers from so many ills. More than that though, the ability to articulate- one's sell clearly and concisely is an exercise in intelligence. Many theories of intelligence postulate that verbal skills are an indicator of one's overall level of intelligence. Therefore, the more command individuals have over language, the higher their level of intelligence is likely to become. Yet, I observe that plenty of college students and college grads can barely write a paragraph without a spelling, punctuation or grammatical error. And this is with the advent of word processors equipped with spell-check and grammar-check software, mind you. We're talking collegeage people and older lacking a command of their native language here. We're talking adults. Presumably, these adults have graduated from high school, middle school and grade school — each of which ought to have taught writing skills. Somewhere, something has failed miserably. 1 could launch into theories about why people don't know how to write; I c ould rail against technologies like television, cell phones and text/instant messaging (as I've done in previous opinions); I could assert that people don't read enough anymore or engage each other in meaningful conversations; but instead I'm just here to complain. I don't really care why it so happens that few people seem to grasp the fundamentals of language; I'm just pissed that they don't. And, since I'm a pompous ass, I'm going to stand here and preach how much others don't know how to write while asserting that I do. Anyone who doesn't like it can complain to me in writing via my email above. _im OPINION PAGE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions 1. All opinions must have a point that is backed up by fact. 2.

SAMANTHA SCHMALING schma005@rangers.uwp.edu Lane Earns, who serves as the interim chancellor for University of Wisconsin- Parkside, announced at the end of March that he will no longer be pursuing the permanent position of chancellor. Earns was originally approached by UW System President Reilly to fill the temporary position of interim chancellor at UW-Parkside. Reilly expressed with confidence that Earns was the right person for the job, and Earns felt that he could help the campus in continuing to move fo rward as it looked for a permanent chancellor. When asked by the Ranger News what kind of goals he wanted to fulfill during his temporary position, he replied, " I wanted to: bring a transparent leadership style to the campus; begin a strategic planning process;' develop more effective recruitment and retention strategies; develop quality transfer articulation agreements between Parkside and area educational institutions; and continue administrative support of diversity and inclusive excellence." Earns believes that he has made progress in all of his goals for UW-Parkside, but believes there is still continuous work that can be done. He also expressed that in his time here, the campus had to redirect its focus towards the budget reductions, which were the largest in the University's history. Earns felt that the campus has approached the budget reduction in a proper manner. He is confident that the campus will make it through the budget cuts and remain true to the academic mission, and keep the personnel intact. Earns' words of advice directed towards the students are as follows: "Look around and enjoy your beautiful campus and appreciate the wonderful diversity of people that make up this University. Take advantage of what it has to offer - both inside and outside of the classroom. Parkside's faculty and staff members care not only about your academic success, they care about you as peopl e. UW-Parkside is, indeed, a special place with much to offer you." I can say without hesitation that my time at Parkside was one of the best professional experiences of my life, and that I have enjoyed being here. From my first day, I have received tremendous support from the campus and the community, and I would like to thank everyone for their kindness." After leaving UW-Parkside, Earns will return to his previous position of Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at UW-Oshkosh. UW-Parkside will be continuing the Search and Screen process for a new chancellor. "I can say without hesitation that my time at Parkside was one of the best professional experiences of my life, and that I enjoyed PSG Inauguration MAY 6 various other students as writeins. Zak Smith, current Vice- President of PSG, was re-elected with 220 votes; some of the remaining votes went to other students as write-ins. SUFAC-at-large had two candidates up for election. Ken Horton and Jose Sanchez. Both students were elected with 158 and 150 votes, respectively. Several senators were ru nning for re-election, including Ronnie Beesley, Christina Bieser, Ben Holmes, and Heather Porter. Students could vote for up to 20 Senatorial candidates, including any write-ins. There are 20 Senators-elect for the 2009-2010 school year: Ronnie Beesley, Christina Beeser, Ben Holmes, Heather Porter. Dana Calamia, Jisha Jose, Dennis Orellana, Kasey Pasqualini, Nelson Senda, Johnathan Sword. Marlene Wells, Jason Wolfe, Linda Vang, Matthew Smanski, Mark Baumgartner, Chris Schatzman, Michelle Slabik, David Wilson, David Lynn, and Erin McDermott. The Green Fund is designed to use student mo ney to help make the student life buildings (such as Ranger Hall and the Student Center) more environmentally friendly. It received overwhelming support with 202 votes. There were two constitutions available for voters to reference to guide their decision on the last part of the ballot. The Election Committee's goal was to eliminate the controversy from earlier this year over whether a constitution had been properly ratified by the students in the last election. The options were to go with Constitution A. which is what PSG has been operating under for this current school year; Constitution B. which is the constitution used d uring the last school year; or pick neither and draft a new one. Constitution A passed with 171 votes. Election results will be ratified by the Parliamentarian at the PSG Inauguration, which will be held May 6. "We've got issues" JO KIRST jo@ therangemews .com After two days of open polls last week, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Student Government preliminary election results are in. 284 ballots were cast in this election, compared to roughly 500 ballots in last spring's election. Polls were open later this year, with the addition of night hours for those students with evening classes. The ballot for this year's election consisted of votes for President, Vice-President, SUFAC-at-large, and Senate candidates. Additionally, the ballot asked for students to approve or disapprove a "green fund", as well as askin g students to vote on which constitution they believe the student government should be operating under. Incumbent Theodore (Ted) Ruffalo and challenger Andrew (Drew) Adams were the Presidential candidates; Ruffalo won with 191 votes compared to Adams' 74 votes.

ASSOCIATED And once again, we are rapidly approaching the end of the semester. Three more issues after this one! Then there's summer break, and then we will be online come fall. I'm pretty excited to get the new website up and running over summer so you guys can get news much, much sooner than ever before. Being online will make our lives much easier as well, as we'll be able to update from anyplace at any time. No more sitting in the office all day Sunday laying out the issue...actually, come to think of it, that's kind of sad. It's almost like a tradition. Anyway, luckily the papers arrived on time this week. I was hoping they'd be on time since PSG elections were Wednesday and Thursday, and our front page was cpvering both candidates for President. On Thursday, I came in to the office rather early and found a pipe that had burst overnight, and anything that had been sitting on the common table in the middle of our office was ruined. Thankfully, nothing of value was damaged, and thankfully the issues had gotten distributed on time. I normally stack the papers on that middle table, and they all would have been ruined if they had been late. Registration begins soon for fall, and as always we're offering internships for the upcoming semester. We do not offer summer internships, since " we don't publish over summer break. But starting in fall, we're welcoming anyone who is interesting in interning with us. And even if you want to join us without the internship, we would love to have you! With that in mind, I'll let you continue reading. Have a great week, see you next Tuesday. Jo Kirst Editor in Chief THE 09-829 Misuse Of Handicap Placard, cleared. Com^xts Lot. 3:01pm.

Foreign Film: "The Counterfeiters" 9:00pm Cinema The Foreign Film series saves its best film for last with 2008 Academy Award-winning Best Foreign Film "The Counterfeiters." This film takes a hard look at one of the most controversial and ethically dubious activities of World War II: Jewish collaboration with the Nazis. The film tells the story of the greatest counterfeiting operation in history, dubbed "Operation Bernhard." Beginning in 1942 and continuing until 1945, the Nazis set up shops in the cell blocks of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to copy everything from identity papers to securities to currency. Their longterm plan was to supplement their military might with an influx of phony money into world markets that would cripple the economies of the U.S. and Great Britain. The film shows a different side of the war than what we are used to. Director Stefan Ruzowitzky depicts the care and attention to detail that went into the operation. The result was a pound note so authentic it passed inspection by the Bank of England. This represents the backdrop to the struggle of conscience endured by the main characters, and that's where The Counterfeiters' core strength lies. This is a "must see!"

E-mail US at rangernews@gmail.<om The Ranger News Parkside student makes school board KELSEY HOFF Hoff0013@uwp.edu Carl Bryan, a nineteen year old University of Wisconsin- Parkside freshman, has been elected to the Kenosha Unified School District No. 1 District Board of Education. He decided to run for the second time in September of last year and will be sworn in on April 27. T h e p r o c e s s has taken him at least two years. He first decided that he wanted to run during his junior year and was appointed to a spot on the budget and finance committee during his senior year. Based on the results of last year's election, he decided that he had a good chance this year as long as his class schedule would allow it. Bryan's campaign team ranged from fellow students, friends, and family to teachers and elected officials such as other school board members and aldermen. Bryan felt a strong sense of accomplishment from "being able to mobilize kids," and get them involved with the issues, but his favorite part of campaigning was meeting people. He enjoys hearing their concerns, getting to know them, and hearing their encouraging words of support. Campaigning this year was a lot easier because of his experience last year; his biggest challenge has been reading up on the issues, according to Bryan. He has "done his homework" and learned a lot from his term on the budget and finance committee. Bryan feels that the two most important issues this year are the process of searching for a new superintendent and managing the three hundred million dollar budget. Joseph Mangi is the current interim superintendent and Bryan thinks that they need someone with the same leadership qualities. The district is in a budget deficit and is receiving less and less funding from the state, so fiscal accountability is at issue. Bryan would also like to see effort towards student and administrator accountability, with school board policies being more strictly enforced in the classroom. He hopes to change and possibly liquidate certain programs and policies that do not work anymore. April 14, 2009 Ranger "vNews University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Student Newspaper SUFAC changes likely JOHNATHAN JACOB Jacob015@uwp.edu Members of Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee (SUFAC) are working tirelessly to initiate and oversee changes that will benefit all of Parkside's students with consistency and fairness. The main issue at hand is determining a better way to allocate funds that are available for organizations, clubs, events, etc. Currently, these funds are made available because of segregated fees, commonly referred to as "seg fees." Once student tuition is paid, money from that source is put asidesegregated- for other things. The formula for determining the amount of these fees is as follows: The dollar amount that Parkside receives for tuition is divided by the number of students enrolled in school. A common assumption is that the more a student pays for tuition, the greater the amount of money that is available for student activities and organizations, but this is not necessarily the case. Under the present system, clubs and organizations that request money receive funding based on a system of "tiers" and whether or not they have earned "major status." Briefly, "tiers" are the different levels of support (money) that are awarded. If a club or organization is a tier one (1), they are likely to receive more funding than a tier two (2). "Major status" is given to any organization that is determined to be "established." Meeting these criteria creates a significant advantage because requests for funding can be made directly to SUFAC. Otherwise, if major status has not been awarded, the individual or group requesting money must first go to the Student Organization Council (SOC), who then presents the request to SUFAC. According to Carly-Anne Ravnikar, SUFAC director, the elimination of "tiers" and "major status" is among the most significant changes being initiated by SUFAC. The idea is to eliminate any politics that may be involved so that groups are not awarded funding based on the number of members they may have or who they know. The mission is to "put everyone on an even plane," according to Ravnikar. Intern with us! The Ranger News offers an internship opportunity for any continuing students.

Ar t s The Ranger News A Cup JOSHUA BRADLEY With imnli^otionr o1 f Hope joshuabradley 11 @hotmail.com §The HOPES Center is hoping' you'll consider before buying another cup of coffee. The typical morning 'cup of joe' is more than an indulgence. In fa ct, it is an industry' worth $80 billion, second only to oil. Americans import 20 percent of the world's coffee beans, making them the world's top consumers. with implications on a global scale and US drinkers are most responsible. Americans drink coffee in the morning to wake up, in the afternoon to stay energized and in the evening to relax with friends. Out of this .coffee obsession, advocates for international responsibility have emerged. Advocates like the FLO and FAO point out the disparity between the prices paid to farmers and the prices paid by American consumers. The United Nations estimates that a farmer earns $.03 from a latte that costs $3 at a specialty coffee shop. Some large-operation coffee employees receive $2.00 a day, less than Starbucks charges for a Grande Latte. The vision of a more equitable coffee exchange developed in 1988, during a global price plunge. Nearly 20 million coffee farmers world-wide were underbidding other farmers, until thev were of economics resulted from overproduction and a devaluation of coffee beans. To resolve the issue, organizations established a 'fairtrade effort, the HOPES Center added a coffee shop, "A Cup of Hope" In downtown Racine, the HOPES Center fills a variety of roles. It offers mentoring, fairly traded goods and coffee and baked foods. Though new to the scene, the Center aspires to become a center for community and University engagement. The connections to the campus are already developing: the logo was designed by a Parkside student and many of the volunteer positions are filled by our campus peers. Tobring together Uni versity the HOPES Center is holding the social. The Parkside International encourage students to join them and other Parkside organizations.

OPI The Ranger News Terrorism: Another disease April 14, 2009 RYAN ASHTON ashto001@uwp.edu In a well-known paper entitled On Being Sane in Insane Places, psychologist David Rosenhan argued that the use of labels such as "mentally ill" to describe individuals can have unintentional negative side effects. Rosenhan's paper discussed a study he conducted in the early 1970s testing the legitimacy of psychiatric diagnoses made by health care professionals. Rosenhan arranged for eight "normal" individuals to fake symptoms of schizophrenia to gain admission into one of 12 regular hospitals' psychiatric wards. If successfully admitted, each "pseudo-patient" was to immediately cease the faking of any schizophrenic symptoms and attempt to convince the psychiatric staff that they in fact were not "mentally ill." Rosenhan reported that while it was relatively easy for the pseudo-patients to acquire the label "schizophrenic," it was extremely difficult for them to shed that label once it was assigned. Rosenhan stated that the average length of hospitalization for his pseudo-patients was 19 days, and that each pseudopatient was discharged with a diagnosis of schizophrenia "in remission" rather than having the label completely removed. Now consider the implications of Rosenhan's study on the label "terrorist" as often used by U.S. officials and the mainstream media. Ever since George W. Bush dubbed his military campaign in the Middle East the War on Terror," we have been hearing incessantly about how vital it is that we defeat those "terrorists" who "hate our freedoms." I th ink it is fair to say that the diagnosis "terrorist" is mostly a claim about one's psychological make-up, similar to the way the diagnosis "schizophrenic" is psychological. When one labels someone a terrorist, one is saying something about a person's thoughts, beliefs, desires, etc. (e.g. "they hate our freedoms"). Similar to the Rosenhan study, it appears that the label "terrorist" is assigned somewhat easily and liberally: there are apparently a lot of them and we are to believe that there will continue to be a lot of them for a long time. It is not clear who is diagnosing this large population of people as "terrorists," or what criteria they might be using to do so (I don't think Bush or Obama are credentialed psychologists); but, unlike the Rosenhan study, they must be doing their diagnosing outside of a highly controlled inpatient unit since all those terrorists are scattered in hiding places throughout the Mid-East. If it was relatively easy for Rosenhan's pseudo-patients to receive a false diagnosis in a controlled environment, how likely is it that our government officials (or military soldiers and pilots for that matter) have accurately diagnosed the condition of "terrorist" from afar? I can't say I like those odds. Despite the difficulties inherent in the labeling of terrorists, there is the companion problem of figuring out how and when the "disease" of terrorism might be "cured." President Obama's official webpage (whitehouse.gov) boldly asserts that it is his policy to "Defeat Terrorism Worldwide." This without a cure implies that there is a "cure" tor the psychological mindset of "terrorism." If we apply Rosenhan's study here, we are likely to believe that once a person is labeled a "terrorist," there is probably little chance for that person to shed that label. Beyond the realm of mental illnesses like schizophrenia, we tend to see this permanent labeled-ness" when it comes to the label "criminal" (e.g. the ramifications of being a "registered sex offender," etc.). So, it seems fair to say that since there is a population of people now known as "terrorists," there is no realistic chance for these psychologically-afflicted "terrorists" to be "cured," and there is no real chance that these afflicted individuals will be given a clean bill of health and "discharged" back to their normal lives. Once a terrorist, always a terrorist, I suppose. Knowing the implications of such a label kind of makes me wish there was a more rigorous process of diagnosing "terrorism." President Obama appears to understand the ramifications of labeling terrorists as well; however his approach is a little different from mine. Rather than be more careful in the labeling of humans as terrorists to prevent unnecessary hardships for nonafflicted individuals, Obama would rather just eliminate everyone who happens to have been labeled a terrorist. Obama states on his webpage that he intends to "ensure that our military becomes more stealthy, agile, and lethal in its ability to capture or kill terrorists " See. there is no "cure" listed there. Just "capture or kill." This is how we deal with the psychological state of "terrorism." Since the disease cannot be killed, the host cannot shed the label; therefore, we simply must kill or quarantine the host. That is how we "defeat terrorism." It is interesting to note that Rosenham's paper went on to discuss ways in which the label "mentally ill" could lead to the dehumanization of the person carrying that label as well...I wonder if there's a parallel with the label "terrorist" on that front as well? STAFF EDITORIAL GEORGE LASLEY Lasle000@uwp.edu The article on Whites Swim in Racial Preference by Tim Wise is intriguing, and very meaningful. The article was encouraging, courageous and outstanding. These adjectives are not enough to explain the importance of how whites view themselves and the rest of the world. The metaphor that some whites live inside of a fish bowl is outstanding. I find Tim Wise to be particular correct on many issues. For example when Wise says that fishes are not capable of understanding their surroundings that makes them float, live and grow, that is some truth to that. The most significant element of this idea is that, there are some whites who do not recognize their advantages. There is such a thing as racial preferences. The structure of society is bias towards one type of culture, race, or people. These element leaves out many minorities and people of color whom look different. The idea that people are judge from outside in, instead of inside out is difficult to understand as a person that is mixed decent. I am aware that these problems occur all the time that many people have became custom to ignoring people's concerns, problems, and attitudes that suggest that inequality still exist in the society. These people who are affected, may lose jobs or even the opportunity to even get one. This idea is stunting because people without any means to survive will become animalistic. I feel that society as a whole can improve but there are not lhat many people that are willing to stick up and stand up against people that are racist, hurtful, or ignorant to others. If people were to protect each other equal rights, than these problems of discrimination would have been long goon. Instead many people are living within a fish bowl, not realizing that this type of behaviors, actions, and deeds exist. I have heard many people say that Affirmative action isn't necessary because it takes away the notion of treating people fairly. These people are living inside of a fish bowl for sure. Even the former president of the United States of America, which are supposed to represent the land of the free, thinks that affirmative action has no room in our society. Even someone that became the president of the Unites States has overlooked the fact that many minorities are being left out of elite schools and work places. These people seem to forget that our society is still based on images and not intelligence. Our society is also in control by a particular race, who rather hire and trust their own before letting other races get the opportunity to excel and achieve at the goals that they have set for themselves. Yes, I think that many people are stuck believing something only from the perspective that they were taught, which makes this experience of trying to diversify American's even harder. Until people that are in power realize that there are people who are getting left out and forgotten about, we as a country, and as a nation will continue to argue, sweat, and fight over the same issues, that caused many people to die. I stand in the gap for people who must strive harder than others. Racism is something that means more to me than a word that causes ethnicities to divide amongst each other. I f eel that racism is a disease that has affected too many lives. I think this disease and epidemic is being displayed all around the country, the world, and in peoples' lives. There are some people that will not diversify at all. This particular idea, notion, and fact cause me to stand up for equal right in places that may seem taboo. I f eel that the more people try to bring light on an issue that is as powerful as racism the better off minorities will be, because they will learn how to counter act racism. I am no better than any other person of color or monitory, or even the people that are not, but I will not give up as a person, I know that there is a lot in life for people who really work hard. I will not say yes, to people no's. I will not fight with my hands, but with the instruments that God has given me. I will continue to stand in the gap for people that are getting mistreated for standing up for themselves as well as others. I get called a Nigger or a Nigga, even though I dislike both words. But, I understand who I a m, and what I nee d to become. These words are what the enemy uses to try and keep the oppressed from rising up like the sun from the water and becoming bright as can be. I have seen to many people not make it to their professional stage in their life,due to the fact that people have singled them out and hurt their potential of becoming great. The idea that too many people are judge on the bases of their skin instead of the content of their character, gives me the motivation that a young man needs to transpire into a person that can conquer anything with God. The case studies are evidence that people are getting treated wrongly because of he person that they are. These case studies do not strike me at all, I am very aware of how people can feel and think about other people outside their race. All fourteen studies are mindboggling. As a future educator, what can I tell my students that will face racism and discrimination? What should 1 say? The fact is, I am not allowed to speak about certain issues. However, 1 will encourage them to read and write on issues that have been published for people to understand what the world consists of. There will be Latinas in my class, well as African- Americans , well as whites. Middle Eastern people, and Asians. The only thing that 1 can project to them is the facts that occurred in history. I can motivate them to become diverse individuals; by having them work with each other in groups. Hopefully, there will be more people that are not monitories who are mentally fighting for students to respect each other and love one another, but the difficulty about this solution or proposal is that people arc not forced to be fair and equal, even though each occupation states clearly that being racist is foul play.

The Ranger News has meetings every Friday at noon. All students and faculty of UW-Parkside are welcome. Please feel free to attend. Have any comments, concerns, questions, or story ideas? Please e-mail us at: rangernews@uwp.edu . We are located at Wyllie D139C Each person may take one newspaper per issue date. Extra newspapers can be purchased for $1 apiece. Newspapers can be taken on a first come, first serve basis, meaning that once they are gone, they are gone. We work on the honor system, but violators will be prosecuted for theft. Faculty members and students organizations who wish to use The Ranger News in classrooms should consult the editor-in-chief to reserve however many free copies they wish to use. ASSOC I ATI-O Well, once again, the newspapers weren't here until Wednesday. Once again, Hometown Publishing's equipment broke down. Quite often, I hear about newspapers going under. I can't help but wonder if equipment that is in poor repair is part of that problem. In fall I will miss having that fresh hard copy every week. It'll be really nice to not have to worry about broken down equipment, though, in addition to all the other opportunities online publishing will be bringing us. Registering for classes begins soon, so I'll take the rest of this paragraph to remind everyone that we offer internships here at The Ranger News. We do not publish during summer, so there are no summer internships. However, come fall (or spring, but we'd love to have you all year!) we'd be more than happy to have you as part of our staff. We offer internships for reporters, photographers, and designers. There is some rather simple paperwork to be done, and that's it! We do ask for samples of your work much like other jobs might, but we don't make you sit through interviews or try and have you be someone you're not. Everyone has ai different perspective on life and something different to bring to The Ranger News, so we try to accept as many interns as we can.

If you have good writing skills and enjoy writing about our campus, stop on by for an application. If your skills are stronger in the photography field, same thing! There is never such a thing as too many photographers—sometimes they pick up the work when we're short on reporters. A picture is worth a thousand words, right? The more we can photograph and write about, the more the student body (ie: you) gets to learn about what's going on at Parkside. If you ever catch an error in an article, or have a question about something you read, we'd love to hear about it and .try and help you. We're in the information business, so making sure you have accurate and timely information is our biggest goal. Again, email us at rangernews@ gmail.com if you have questions or concerns. You're also welcome to email the reporter directly— that's why we include their email as part of the byline! I'll stop here for now; I think I've spoken enough about working for The Ranger News.

UJJJJRE SAMANIH ASCHM ALING scma005@rangers.uwp.edu Zeta Sigma Chi, a multicultural sorority here at UW-Parkside, held auditions March 26, 27, and 28 in the Spruce Room for an upcoming event they are hosting. The event they are presenting is called Take It 2 The Stage, which is a talent showcase. The sorority started this Take it to the v/pnt .1 event because they recognized that children need a positive role model, and someone to look up to and inspire to be. They encouraged organizations and groups on campus to come out and audition. The sorority felt that "their presence in the showcase would be an opportunity for younger school students to see what success could look like when a person is determined." The auditions were .^EglLJO—UWiParkside students and community grade school and high school students. The event is an opportunity for "talented individuals and groups to display the phenomena as to what makes them so great." Everyone that attended the auditions will be featured in the showcase. The group CHAOS will also be performing at the intermission of the event. The cost of auditioning was $10, and Zeta Sigma Chi chapter president Re.sha p;w said that there was a great turnout. She also said that there was amazing talent. There will be a cash grand prize for the individual or group that out shines the rest of the talent and takes the spot light. Talent that will be featured includes: gospel, dance, a rap group, poetry, and multiple singers. Riser said that during the auditions they were looking for a lot of diversity and welcomed different talents. -This, is the first year that the talent show is being held at UW-Parkside. Riser said that hopefully the event would keep continuing year after year. She said that its continuance will be based on attendance and popularity of the event. The showcase will be held on Thursday, Apri 19 at 7p.m. in Main Place on campus. It is open to both students and the public. Recession. Recover SAMANTHA SCHMALING scma005@rangers.uwp.edu On Monday, March 30, the Soup and Series presented "Bubble. Recession. Recovery," which featured guest speaker Marcelo Milan, an Assistant Professor in the Economics Department. He presented a slideshow called "The US Economy: Bubble, Crisis, and Recovery." The presentation included information about the stimulus package, the housing problem, "unemployment rates, and declining income and spending. The United States is currently in the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. The country also had the worst fourth quarter in 2008 since the 1930's and the second worst bear market from 1929-2009. Home appreciation rates also displayed negative numbers in the fourth quarter. Milan defined the bubble as being "a rapid and artificial increase in the price of assets (above reasonable levels)." Milan gave examples of bubbles being the dot com bubble and the housing bubble. Milan explained that bubbles exist because people buy things at increased prices and then hope that others will buy them for a greater amount. The aftermath of the bubble's bursts include depressed asset prices, prolonged periods of joblessness, economic stagnation, increased government debt, and an impaired banking and financial system. A major consequence of the current economy has been job loss. The unemployment rate has climbed from 7.2% to 7.6% in the past month. More than 4 million jobs have been lost since the economic crisis, there have been massive number of layoffs, and jobless claims have soared. Even in the current crisis, hourly wage has increased, and there have also been productivity gains. Other consequences of the current economy have been major increases in loan losses for banks, rapid decline of business loans shrinking (in commercial banks), consumer confidence has plummeted, people aren't spending as much, and they are saving more, there are depressing vehicle sales, and investments are also collapsing. How does the current economy affect us as students? In Milan's terms, "education pays." The correlation between the amount of schooling a person has and the job market is positive. The more education a student has under her belt, and the more degrees she hold shows, the more she will earn more, have more employment opportunities, ana be less likely to be unemployed. Milan assured everyone at the end of the presentation that, as the history record shows, there is good news ahead. Recessions and depressions end at some point. How long they last depends on how the economy will respond to the fiscal stimulus and the FED's monetary policy. 40th" Juried Student Show Underway JOSHUA BRADLEY Joshua Bradlex! 1 a xahoo.com nrninniuiiinryn.mil Village International Living & Learning Community 2009-2010 Does the idea of trying new food, learning a new dance, speaking another language or talking about global issues intrigue you?

However, what I cannot accept is how this same establishment is willing to compromise its integrity if there is the potential for significant financial gain. The focus of this assessment is tobacco; a legal consumer good that not only has no health benefits, but can be very harmful. Now, if it's government's objective to keep us safe, someone has some explaining to do. Nicotine is certainly a drug, and tobacco has more chemicals than a science lab. Please forgive my sarcasm. The last time I checked, people in America were dying at an alarming rate every year as a result of complications from lung and other cancers that are a product of cigarette smoke. Many of these individuals never smoked; they are victims of second-hand smoke. My mother died from the effects of lung cancer. Of course, she made the conscious decision to smoke for many years. She knew the dangers of what she was putting into her body. To her credit, she never felt sorry for herself, even as the cancer was taking her life. I must emphasize that this is not an anti-smoking campaign. It is an indictment of politicians for trying to convince us that they have our best interests Is the shoe deadlier than the bomb? RYANASHTON ashton001@uwp.edu Last month Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zeidi, well-known for throwing his shoes at former President George W. Bush last December during a press conference, was sentenced to three years in prison for his "crime." Mr. Zeidi was charged with aggression against a visiting head of state, and there was reportedly heavy protest from the Iraqi public after the verdict was read. According to a New York Times article, there were supporters chanting "hero" outside the Iraqi court house, and a statue of a large shoe was erected north of Baghdad to honor Mr. Zaidi; however the Iraqi Parliament ordered the statue dismantled. I think this case of presidential "shoeing" is a great example of how upside-down some conceptions of "justice" can be; and, given that our President was both the impetus and the target of those volatile projectiles, it tells us something about our country's values as well. On the one hand, you have the President of a nation that had waged, and had continued to wage, an immensely violent war of aggression on another country's land appearing, in person, within that country's borders (albeit in a "green zone" heavily guarded by the president's own soldiers) to speak as if all the resultant death and destruction was ultimately "good" for those living in the war zone. This is a man whose moral code permitted him to authorize the use of military force (including a massive bombing campaign meant to elicit psychological "shock" and "awe") against a sovereign population of people without that population's consent (nor much of the world's consent for that matter). This man, the one who has untold thousands of bodies lying in his wake, is considered, to the present day, to have been acting justly throughout his military campaign and thus has remained free of formal punishment. Yet, on the other hand, you have a man who has lived the reality of a war-tom nation first-hand; who has no army or bodyguards to do his bidding; who has felt the weight of a foreign President's policies on he and his family's psyches; who has utilized his shoes as his means of "shock" and "awe"— it is this man that the Iraqi justice system (which, one might say, is strongly influenced by the U.S.'s "restructuring" efforts) deemed fit for punishment. It is the man whose actions resulted in no death or injury; the man whose actions were motivated by compassion for those harmed by the brutal violence; the man whose actions earned the sanction of the citizens of Iraq, who spoke on their behalf—it is this man who is deemed morally inferior, and thus sentenced to prison by the prevailing moral code. The man who used bombs and guns to negotiate his terms is, in the eyes of this perverse moral system, the moral superior and thus remains free of prison (and worthy of a President's "retirement" package nonetheless). This is the morality of not only the Iraqi "justice" system, but, it is sad to say, also the morality of the government who had recognized George W. Bush as their President—the government who sanctioned his policies. Under this kind of moral system, bombs and guns are benign, whereas rubber and leather are lethal. But, perhaps, it is not a matter of what one actually does that defines the moral correctness of their actions, but rather who one is while doing it—a sort of moral elitism. Since Mr. Zeidi was a civilian, a reporter, a "nobody," his actions, no matter what they happened to be, were simply predisposed to moral wrongness, and thus were easy to punish. Mr. Bush, however, as a President, as a Commander in Chief, as an elite; well, he's simply immune from moral wrongness due to his elevated social status. So long as morality is defined by status, then those of elite social status will always be morally superior to those of negligible social status. This is supposedly "justice." This is also why it is utter bullshit. Proud to be a Ranger TERRY TYNAN tynan001@uwp.edu I've lived in Keposha, off and on, since 1991. Gradually it became more "on" than "off' and for the last several years it is totally "on." My wife gets upset when I refer to her beloved hometown as Chicago's finest North Shore suburb. Believe me, I mean no disrespect. After all, the North Shore is a beautiful place with stately mansions housing some of America's wealthiest and most influential citizens. Regardless, I am very content living in the "City For All Seasons." For anyone who is retired, but doesn't really want to be, this is the place to live.. The enviable advantage of conveniently lying between two major cultural centers is a given. Concerts, church festivals, sports events, museums; and lake activities are here in abundance. I happen to love the trolley rides for a quarter. Friendly people and great Italian food are equally appreciated. Four months ago .1 made a startling, life changing discovery just a five minute ride from our cottage. I have always been aware of the existence of the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. For instance, I knew that the Northwestern University football team held summer camp there and that the foreign film program was an entertainment bargain. What I just learned, though, was that a state resident over 60 years old could audit up to two courses per semester- tuition free. No credits, but, at my age, who cares. I got 120 of those over 50 years ago in Madison. Now, it is solely for the fun of learning. Computer Science 105 and World History 126, taught by Tim Knautz and Nat Godley, respectively, are awesome. (See, 1 am even picking up the lingo) "Thanks, gentlemen for letting me feel like part of the class and for not making me take exams or turn in assignments." Talk about your "having it both ways." Besides attending classes twice a week, I am enjoying an endless parade of activities and entertainment, such as: great music and theater, exciting athletic events, discussion groups, lectures and exhibits, all provided in a state-of theart environment. I am, now a member of PASA (Parkside Adult Student Alliance). I am the most 'adult' person there by decades. I overheard my wife telling one of her friends that I had joined a fraternity. I did, ultimately, in mind. On the contrary, this is more an issue of economics. To put it bluntly, the government makes a ridiculous amount of money from the tobacco industry. Prices tend to fluctuate for a lot of consumer goods, even gasoline. However, any time the cost of cigarettes changes significantly, it is because the price is going up. If the government didn't make so much money tobacco would be illegal. Consequently, we would hear politicians talking about keeping us safe and improving our overall health by reducing the number of tobacco-related cancers However, you will hear none of this any time soon because tobacco will remain legal Have you ever wondered why politicians won't even address this issue? Personally, It doesn't matter to me if it's legal or not. The tobacco farmers admit that the product they grow is a source of profit. Why can't others do the same? Again, let's keep it real. Dear Man ANDREA GLEASON andrearoseg@ hot mail .com Dear Man, No offense intended kind sir, but I do not desire to be you. On the contrary, I am proud to be quite different. This current movement of modeling your clothing and your mannerisms has been pushed upon me by society for far too long. 'Tis a pity that your foul mouth has infested mine, and that it has become acceptable for me to utter such filth in the presence of others. We have strayed from our feminine ways of modesty, reserved nature, and politeness, exchanging these for provocative attire, brashness, and ill manners. Often such motives are to appeal to your unbridled masculine desires, and in doing so I am losing my identity as a unique and respectable sex. I have been fooled-into believing your wants should be mine as well. I have rejected such beautiful and intricate attire for fear of appearing weak or unattractive beside you. My fight for equality has become a fight for the right to imitate and please. In my struggle for equal dignity, confusion has occurred, making it a struggle for your ambitions and manly qualities, or often to appease them, and even you have forgotten who I am. I have received what the so-called "feminists" of my sex have asked for: I open my own door, walk in behind you, pull up my own chair, and pay for my own meal. In our blindness for more power rather than equality, my innate qualities have been underappreciated. Delicacy does not imply a lack of strength, and displaying my emotions does not mean I lack the ability to be logical. In envying your qualities, I have forgotten to value my own such as my nurturing nature, sensitivity, and compassion. In lowering my standards, I have equally lowered yours. For this I apologize and promise to work to regain the respect and dignity those in the past have worked so hard for. I only ask that you help me in this fight by supporting my right to be equal in dignity and rights with a role distinct from your own. I now realize that just because I now have the right to act like you, does not mean I should. I desire, not to be treated like your fellowmen, but rather as your compliment and counterpart, whose qualities although quite different, are just as valued. Sincerely, Woman correct her. When I told her I was considering spending spring break in Key West with my fellow students she said I should stay there. I have a Ranger ID card with my picture on it, a parking permit and a student e-mail address. Someone even suggested I run for a Student Government office, which would be a bit of a stretch. Yesterday, I bought a Parkside cap for 15 bucks from the bookstore. This bustling enterprise has collected quite a little of my discretionary funds because, while the courses are free, the text books and supplies, emphatically, are not. I meet several new people every day, many from distant lands with diverse cultures. I was even invited to join the "International Club—I guess being a native Chicagoan qualifies me. Did I happen to mention that Parkside is absolutely the friendliest place I have ever been in my life? People actually smile at me in passing. Everyone is helpful and friendly, whether they be faculty, administration, service, or, best of all, students. Ah! the students. Like many of my peers I was becoming deeply concerned about our country's future being placed in the hands of pampered, selfish, thoughtless, rude and, yes, poorly educated young people. Now, after observing and conversing with UW-P students on a daily basis, I have to say,' without reservation, I am not only confident about our future... I am truly excited about it. Just one regret, tho'ugh- -I could have started all this fifteen years ago. OPINION PAGE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submission Suggestions.

Several members competed at the Raleigh Relays hosted by North Carolina State University, and the remainder of the squad competed at Wisconsin Lutheran College in Milwaukee, WI. The distance athletes competed in a 60-degree rainstorm on Friday night. Ben Orvold ran a lifetime best 31:27 10,000m. This time was good enough for 16"' place and 11th among collegiate athletes. Rehan Mahmood followed not too far behind Orvold, also running a lifetime best 32:16. He was the 2lst place finisher, and 16lh among all collegiate athletes. Mahmood ran a very even-tempo race; both 5,000m splits were 16:08. In \ the women's 10,000m, sophomore Heidi Ertl competed for the first time ever at this distance. She ran a time of 38:07, which notched her 14"' overall and 12"' against collegiate competitors. Senior Jessica Monson ran her first-ever outdoor 5,000m event. Monson finished 6lh overall and 3rd among collegiate competition. Her 16:40 finishing time is not only a new school record, but also a 20-second personal best and an NCAA DII Outdoor Nationals automatic qualifying time. On Saturday morning, at NC State, up and coming freshmen star Hope Christie finished 2nd out of 82 competitors in the unseeded section of the 1500M. Her time of 4:39 missed NCAA DII provisional qualifying by just over one second. Her 4:39 1500m time converts to a 4:59 1 Mile time, which is a 16 second In Photos lifetime best. Brittany Glassburn also turned in a big lifetime best mark of 4:56, 11. seconds faster than her best time outdoor last year. Miranda Melville competed in the 5,000m race-walk competition, where she blew away her competition. She competed in a male/female mixed field and came victorious by over 2.5 minutes. Her time of 25:07 is a 35+ second personal best. In the men's 1500m, Dustin Baldwin and LaQuan Fenderson competed in lifetime best form. Baldwin's time of 4:04.5 just misses his lifetime best of 4:04.3 and Fenderson competed in the 1500m for the second time in his young career. He ran eight seconds faster than the week previous, bringing home a 4:11 finishing time. The Ranger runners finished the day with a pair of 4x800m relay events. The women finished 16lh out of 22 teams with a time of 9:36.2. This time ranks top ten all-time at UW-Parkside. Monson had the fastest split of 2:15. On the men's side, the Ranger half-milers turned in a relay time of 8:08, slightly off of the team goal time. Rob Hansen carried the fastest split of the relay notching a season best 1:57.0. At Wisconsin Lutheran, the Rangers' split squad battled tough through the elements. They faced temperatures of 33 degrees and dropping throughout the meet. They were threatened with snow showers, which held off throughout most of the event, yet still endured constant winds of 25 miles per hour and gusts as high as 45 miles per hour. Sophomores Bryan McLoone and Bert Meyers ran season best times of 4:21 and 4:22 in the 1500m. Jennie tpndt and Whitney Olson turned in ,a pair of top* performances, crossing the finish line in 5:12 and 5:15, respectively, in the 1500m. In the 5,000m run, the Rangers each finished near the front of their races, but their times were noticeably affected by the elements. Jacob Buddell and Matt Vidas notched a pair of top five finishes. Buddell finished the 5,000m race in 16:45 and Vidas in 17:15. Angie Adams was the top Parkside women's performer, turning in a time of 19:45. Alex Mena dominated the 800m run scoring a 6 second victory This weekend the Rangers will travel to Elmhurst College, which is located just past O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, 111. The following week several Rangers will be flying out to Bucknell University near Pittsburg, Penn.

They are preparing schedules, selecting classes,and getting ready for the Parkside Student Government elections. So far. the incumbent. President Theodore Ruffalo, and Vice President. Zak Smith, are running unopposed, but election application packets are available to those who wish to run. Election preparations are running late this year because the election bylaw's in Parkside Student Government's constitution were not ratified until \ery recently. The entire constitution was rewritten last summer to resemble the United States Constitution. The current team has plans in the works; their focus is -standing up for students' rights, said President Ruffalo PSG is working to make sure that students have a say in matters concerning them, their student center, and their money. PSG is in the process of getting students in leadership positions in the Student Life Committee instead of paid stall. Ruffalo believes that students should be making the decisions about student assets. Student lee accountability is another issue at hand. Segregated fees are being reduced next year and PSG will make sure that they are spent in ways that will benefit students the most. PSG also wants to further campus identify. They are participating in the process to create a strategic plan to streamline the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's identity. Ruffalo helped draft a new mission statement tor the school, which will also serve as a guideline for school identity. Logos and slogans currently associated with UW-, Parkside are also items under consideration. Some may be changed or eliminated to foster solidarity within the school and channel school spirit. "People love Mean Green ." said Ruffalo. A student-led SIX. student fee accountability, and furthering campus identity are three main points that the current student government is working on. Though Ruffalo and Smith remain unopposed at this late stage, the students have the ultimate decision in this election. The future of camnus-wide wirelp^ olar panels installed on campus JOSHUA BRADLEY Jim Winkle, of the clean energy, this clean thing In response, University WE Energies, FocuT company: of Wisconsin-Madison, warns, You think of [electricity] as this SAMANTHA Schmaiing shntaftb5@rangers.uvvp.edu Do you ever have the feeling that if you shift a few seats over, or take a few, maybe twelve steps to the left, that you could possibly pick up a wireless signal any given place on campus? Maybe vou feel as though if you moved to an entirely different building, you would be able to pick up the wireless signal better? You are not alone. Many students feel as though thev cannot connect to the Interne! in classroom areaand buildings that they should be able to. Wireless ran be helpful in classrooms forstudents to be able to connect to the Internet and access websites or material that is relevant to their class. That is all. hopefully, about to change. The Technology Committee on campus will vote later next month to decide to extend campus-wide coverage of the wireless internet The Communication Arts building currently has no wireless Internet, and the wifeless in Molinaro Hall works better pushing to have wireless access in the outdoor classroom areas, and possibly the parking areas so students can access the wireless on their mobile devices. After the vote is taken, and hopefully passed to have wireless internet campus wide, the Technology Committee is planning to install the wireless throughout the summer, so that it is available by next fall. The Technology committee is also looking to replace the WSYE "dumb terminals" in the computer lab on the D1 level of the libran The Jeehnology Committee is also coming out of your wall outlet but in fact it's the largest source of greenhouse gases." So how can we reduce emissions, while still keeping the lights on? The simple answer; alternative energy. Solar power has become one of the most promising forms of alternative energy in recent years. Long before President Obama announced that America would seek "green" energy solutions, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside was taking steps to harness the power of the sun with photovoltaic cells, what we commonly call solar panels. These PVCs take light energy and convert it to electrical energy using a silicon cell. Historically, PVCs have been expensive and only slightly efficient. But as we move into the 21s' century, prices are going down while panels produce more energy. The cells are still not cheap. Panels can cost thousands of dollars and be difficult to install. The school intended to put a large amount of panels around campus, which meant financial help was necessary. Fortunately kthat help was available. The effort to install the PVCs on campus was a state first for any government institution in Wisconsin. But even a historic effort would require monetary aid. response, WE Energies, on Energy, and an anonymous campus member offered two separate challenge grants designed to compliment UWParkside's fundraising to pay for the cells. A year ago, pleas went out to students, staff and faculty via the Ranger Mail system. The letters asked for donations and provided a clear vision of a green campus. It emphasized that the challenge grants would double the donation twice. If a student donated a single dollar, it would be doubled by the campus grant, and then again by the WE Energies/ Focus on Energy grant to make four dollars. Simply: $1=$4. With a total of 6000 dollars raised from campus members and a quadrupling of that number from the grants, the campus still needed much more cash. But the State of Wisconsin stepped up, excited to see our campus so close. According to Provost Gerald Greenfield, "We benefited from the increased State interest in alternative energy, and that helped produce a pay back schedule that was more favorable." In other words, UWParkside will be making more per watt than originally agreed upon. Energy companies agree to help pay for solar panels as long as the electricity they produce can be purchased by the company to be resold on the grid. This agreement keeps the energy company in business and makes the solar panels more affordable for institutions and individuals. Donald Kolbe, Director of Facilities Management, oversaw the physical installation of the photovoltaic cells. He expects the system to last 50 years, and during the first decade, WE Energies will pay UW-Parkside $.225 per kilowatt. Parkside only pays $.07 per kW, the difference in prices helps the campus pay for the panels. WE Energies will also be putting in a kiosk near Molinaro Joe's. The kiosk will display kW data, Molinaro energy consumption, campus photos and weather information. The entire P V C project is expected to produce 26.1 kW and cost $300,000. UW-Parkside is very proud to be the home of the first PVCs in the Wisconsin system and is eager to add more to the campus. If you are interested in giving to the fund you can visit the UWParkside webpage, keyword: PVC, for more information. The panels can be seen on the roof of Molinaro from the 2nd and 3rd story windows, the 'head house' near the Tallent Hall parking lot, and a soon to be installed mounted tracker close to Facilities Management.

The Ranger News March 31, 2009 Fro TfieEcfifo That budget article was really hard to write, because there was SO MUCH information. It took a long time until I was satisfied with it. I hope it does a good job of relaying the information that was given to us at the budget forums. I haven't had such a tough article in a while. Anyway, enough about me... here's another issue! There's a lot of news in this one, but a fairly distinct lack of everything else. Looks like we're going through another rough patch for articles. A lot of our problems would be solved if we had enough reporters, but on some level it seems like it's too late to get more people involved this semester, because everyone is so busy prepping for the end of the semester. Next year, though, we'll be doing a lot of recruiting and make sure everyone knows about our internship opportunities. I think having a lot of interns will help boost our productivity and get a lot more accomplished. Of course, next year we will also be online-only, which I am extremely excited about! Parkside Student Government elections are coming up fast, so we're doing our best to collaborate with them and get you the information you need to make an informed choice come voting day(s). Next week, we will have a "meet the candidates" article much like we do every spring, so you'll get the scoop on who's running for President and Vice President, and why they think you should vote for them. (You can still pick up an election packet, if you're interested in running for President, Vice President, senate, or SUFAC at large. They're due April 1 by noon in the University Activities office. ) I would like to take a moment on a totally unrelated topic. In our March 10 issue, there was an error in the article about the Worldfest flag ceremony—Chancellor Earns was misquoted. The Ranger News as a whole apologizes to the readers a d to Chancellor Earns for the error. If you find an error in The Ranger News, please let us know! You can email the reporter directly, you can email me, or you can email both of us. Whatever works for you. And with that,I' mout of things to say for this week.

Budget cuts may not be as bad as expected Jo Kirst jo@therangernews.com With the help of Interim Provost Gerald Greenfield and Catherine Jameson, the Director rf Budget and Planning, Interim Chancellor Lane Earns held two budget fo rums this past week to =ive the campus some insight as to low the University of Wisconsin- Parkside will be handling a 1.3 million-dollar budget cut. Earns began by giving a ittle history about the state's ludget deficit, explaining that in t short amount of time, the state >f Wisconsin went from looking it a bu dget surplus to a deficit of > 7 billion dollars. He then went >n to show that despite these ;uts, there are some opportunities nixed in with the challenges. While the 3.3 million-dollar ut presents several challenges to 'arkside, several opportunities re present, including an ncrease in financial aid to help tudents offset the cost of tuition, lomestic partner benefits, and 77,000 to help recruit and etain faculty and academic staff. Unfortunately, due to these uts, the quality of education will lecrease slightly, as the number f class sections offered and the mount of staff to teach them is sduced. The plans for the growth agendas were changed slightly, stunting the growth of the campus. Additionally, employees will be contributing more to health care and retirement plans. Budget Breakdown Catherine Jameson then took the podium to explain the University's budget and its many facets. For the 2008-2009 academic year, Parkside's budget is $72 million. The majority of that $72 million comes from state taxpayer dollars and tuition and fees. These two sections are referred to as the General Purpose Operating funds, or GPO. The rest of the budget consists of funds such as housing and food service, grants and gifts, and segregated fees. These are restricted to a specific purpose, and are known as Program Revenue (PR) funds. The budget does not include money for building projects, but it does include mortgage payments on new buildings. Jameson then went through a graph that showed a breakdown of how funds are used. The breakdown is a way for Parkside to compare its expenses to the expenses of other universities across the country. A large portion of Parkside's budget is spent on instruction and student services. Smaller sections include financial aid, academic support, and research. Budget Reduction Task Force Interim Provost Greenfield stepped up next to speak briefly about the budget reduction task force, which consists of two representatives from every major governance group on campus. The task force was established by Earns, and is co-chaired by Greenfield and Vice Chancellor William Streeter. Jameson is also a part of the task force. The task force is charged with finding ways to make budget cuts without majorly impacting instruction or student services. "We want this to be a collaborative process," said Greenfield, so campus input is a vital asset to the task force. A website will be set up soon for campus to communicate with task force members and suggest ways to save money. Two ways to reduce costs and save money are restricting travel and slowing down hiring. "We would not be making permanent changes until we have the strategic planning process at the point where there are some recommendations that make sense," Greenfield explained. Later in the presentation, he added, "There is a clear relation between the budget issue as we look ahead and the strategic planning." Budget Cuts Jameson returned t o explain the cuts that Parkside faces. Most of the cuts are in the form of cash lapses, which is good, because the University is only losing cash or savings, and not taking a hit to its base budget. The cuts are spread across two years, with most of the cuts occurring during the 2009-2010 academic year. The budget reduction plan consists of four phases, beginning with a 2.5 percentcuttothebasebudgetacross the board. This cut will provide a portion of the '09-'10 cash lapse. The second phase includes the cash that has been collected from the first phase and a determination of the balance of the cash lapse. Phase three will take place in July, with the transfer of auxiliary funds and a one percent cut to PR funds. Segregated fees will not be touched during this process, including the payments on the Student Center building. Phase four is a continuation of a one percent cut to all funds. "As of today, we're gonna be in decent shape, I believe." — Lane Earns After a brief look by Greenfield at the strategic planning process, Chancellor Earns returned t o summarize the presentation. Parkside is doing several things already to help cope with the budget cuts, such as reducing discretionary spending, reducing travel expenses, and holding positions open for longer. Long-term coping mechanisms may include looking at new enrollment revenue resources and expanding the capacity for revenue generation. "Like all state agencies during these difficult economic times, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside must pay its fair share of the deficit and determine how best to cope with reduced state resources." he said. "For now, I want you to know thatthetimesahead will be difficult, but Parkside will pull through with its core values, academic programs, and outstanding faculty and staff intact." IPSS&-&-, '< ' Blast From the Past Alien Problem? Monster Solution. MICHAEL C. RIEDLINGER mrit'dlinger@dorkgasm.com The state of science fiction, is I complained about in my view of Knowing, is abysmal, ollywood keeps churning out :rap they hope seems smart or JQ0l> while failing miserably «cause they keep forgetting that he best science fiction happens hen it actually is smart and cool, e subtext is usually built in, nd the more oveit you get, either hrough hyperbole or through echno-babble, the less effective cience fiction really is. Monsters s. Aliens is a science fiction film irst, and a children's film second, t s weird, because even the heaters are treating it that way, nd theaters are usually clueless, tunning the trailer for Star Trek head of this film is pure marketing enius! There's also the fact hat the movie updates almost :very 50's genre-film cliche in he book, if that isn't enough for ou. The characters are all scistandards, including the Blob, he Mad Scientist, the Creature 'rozen in Ice and Time, and of xiurse, the 50-foot woman. Even kaiju-like creature has a part to lay in this, and it's about alien nvasion! Sure, it's animated, but hat only seems to have helped. rhe story itself is about a young .'Oman named Susan (Reese 'itherspoon) who is nailed by radioactive asteroid from outer space that causes her to grow by eaps and bounds. She is locked tp in a government facility where •he meets the other monsters. When a giant alien robot attacks, the monsters are the best hope we have against it. Pretty simple, and no one spends too much time explaining to the President (Stephen Colbert) what galaxy anyone has come from, how all the flying saucers work, or where in the heck The Missing Link fits in on the evolutionary timeline. Remember, this is supposed to be a kid's movie, so the filmmakers don t dwell on anything that might put the kiddies to"sleep. Then again, those things are also the same culprits that drive normal folks away from science fiction in the first place, so it really is a win-win lor the audience. What it also does is free up more time for both action and humor. The folks at Dreamworks haven't forgotten that adults are also in the audience, but instead of thinly veiled double entendre, the jokes for us are about Star Trek. Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Beverly Hills Cop. They also poke fun at relationships, and marriage, but Monsters vs. Aliens never gets preachy. There's too much fun to be had! The monsters are the best part of the film. Hugh Laurie drops the American accent he affects on House as the crazy Dr. Cockroach, Seth Rogan loses a few brain cells for the mindless (but hysterical) B.O.B. the Blob, and Keifer Sutherland embodies every cranky Patton rip-off necessary as General Warren Monger. The comedy bombs drop quick and often, and sometimes in the middle of action, so keep your ears open. The action portion of this film is ultimately very satisfying, refusing to slow down without leaving any of the plot holes so often seen in its "adult" counterparts. Contemporary directors who are looking to make a sci-fi film should take notes on this movie. The number of updated throwbacks is huge, and they are all used wisely. No one leaves the ffSK theater feeling unsatisfied because we don't know how the engines on the spacecraft worked or what precise type of radiation causes a gnib to grow to the size of the Golden Gate Bridge. Not only are these elements left unexplained, but they do not matter to the story. If you're looking for an allegory in the film, you'll find plenty about accepting differences and bonding with friends, like most children's films, but like a good science fiction film, Monsters vs. Aliens doesn't beat you over the head with its message mt mj *ii"*-»"iV M m M A MONSTROUS 3D EVENT. 3D MA RCH 2009 The Ranger News An alternative spring break at SCTTAiFruFD RrEiPiAOiRiTT . .. rangerne ws@ gmail.com Two graduate students from the School of Information Science at the University of Wisconsin- Milwaukee spent 30 hours in the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Archive and Area Research Center as interns under the supervision of interim archivist Anna M. Stadick from March 16 to 20. Rachel Sperling and Taryn Sauer took part in the Alternative Spring Break program, which is now in its third year at UWMilwaukee. Alternative Spring Break coordinator Katherine Blank, of UW-Milwaukee, placed 17 students at 11 archival repositories in the area including the Harley-Davidson Archives, the Archives of the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Marquette University Archives, the Milwaukee Public Museum, the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Ward Irish Music Archives, the Newberry Library, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Kenosha Public Library and UW-Parkside. Besides studying library and information science, Rachel Sperling enthusiastically reads and writes science fiction. During her alternative spring break, she took on the task of cleaning, rehousing, and relabeling the science fiction magazine collection in UWParkside's Special Collections. The magazines date from 1926 to the 1960's and reflect the writers' understanding of science and its role in current and future events. Sperling especially enjoyed reading letters to the editor from various decades. " It is interesting seeing the attitudes toward women and minorities as they change over the years." She discovered the letters of Marion Zimmer (now Bradley) writing as a teenager, pointing out the unfavorable depiction of women in science fiction. The young Zimmer, a now wellknown feminist author of fantasy works, such as The Mist of Avalon, declared that this would have to change or she would have to start writing her own. Sperling found the Alternative Spring Break interesting and informative. "I had taken only one archive class— Introduction to Archives. This internship has re-kindled my interest in the field." She plans to finish her MLIS degree next year. Taryn Sauer will complete her MLIS in August 2009. Her next educational step takes her to the Illinois Institute of Technology, Chicago, where she will seek her doctoral degree in technical communication. Sauer worked with a costudent in the MLIS program at UW-Milwaukee, Melissa Olson, who is an LTE in the UWParkside Archives. The team surveyed about 300 maps in the archives' collection, repaired March 3172009 UW-F tears and reinforced weak spots created an organizational system and compiled an electronic finding aid to the collection Sauer remarked about her experience: "It's amazing to see what goes into the preservation of local history. Among the most interesting items I saw were three hand-drawn maps chronicling changes in land holdings along the Plank Road in the later half of the 19,h century." Web pages about both projects highlighting the contents of the map collection and science fiction collection should soon be accessible through the UW-P Archive web site.

When they really ARE out to get you, is it still paranoia? Afghanistan: More violence* Of f*r\l!rco r, 1 RYAN ASHTON ashotoOO 1 @ u wp .edu I despise violence. Likewise, I despise those who advocate violence as a "solution" to anything. Those who advocate for violent solutions are amongst the most savage, primitive and malevolent human' beings possible. Further, those who advocate for the most severe and efficient forms of violence - i.e. those who promote military violence—are amongst the most sadistic. Militaries, as agents of mass death, are only considered to be solutions by those who subscribe to a morality that says, 'Tightness is determined by one's ability to kill;" such a moral code contains nothing else—no justice, no freedom, no fairness; simply violence". And, as it has been with many other subjects, our new president Obama is no different from his predecessor when it comes to invoking the military as a "solution." President Obama spoke last Friday about his plan to deal with the ongoing situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan—a situation he described as "increasingly perilous." According to Obama," A1 Qaeda and its allies, the terrorists who planned and supported the 9/11 attacks are in Pakistan and Afghanistan...and if the Afghan government falls to the Taliban or allows A1 Qaeda to go unchallenged, that country will again be a base for the terrorists who want to kill as many of our people as they can." Of course, a key piece of Obama s "solution" to this plan is to increase the military forces in the area by some 20,000 troops According to Obama's speech, These soldiers and Marines will take the fight to the Taliban in the south and east...and to go after insurgents along the border." I suppose since these "terrorists" want to "kill as many of our people as they can," we'd better go ahead and kill as many of them as we can first. It can't get any simpler than that, can it? Now, Obama did warn. of some risks to his plan. He said "The sacrifices have been enormous. Nearly 700 Americans have lost their lives. Troops from over 20 countries have also paid the ultimate price." Since military violence is all about who can kill who faster and better, I suppose it is likely that many soldiers will continue to "pay the ultimate price." What is peculiar though is that Obama never mentioned what sorts of risks his plan has in store for those who happen to live in Afghanistan—you know, civilians and such who might also have to "pay the ultimate price." According to some numbers compiled at wikipedia. org under an entry entitled Civilian casualties of the War in Afghanistan (2001-present), the total civilians killed as a direct result of U.Sled military actions since 2001 is between 4,972 and 7,764. These numbers include the blowing up of civilians with bombs from the sky, or the shooting of civilians with bullets from soldiers' rifles, tanks machine guns, etc. Also, the same Wikipedia article estimates that the total number of civilians killed as an result of U.S-led military actions is between 3,200 and 20,000. The article defines "indirect deaths" as Afghans who had died of starvation, exposure, associated illnesses, or injury sustained while in flight from war zones as a result of the U.S. war and airstrikes. I su ppose the range varies so greatly due to the inherent difficulties of measuring displaced peoples. In any case, these numbers tell us that somewhere between 8,172 and 27,764 Afghan civilians have been killed as a result of U.S-led military actions. Now, Obama does remind us that those nasty terrorists have killed civilians too, "Nearly 3,000 of our people were killed on September 11, 2001," Obama said, "for doing nothing other than going about their daily lives. A1 Qaeda and its allies have since killed thousands of people in many countries." Fair enough. But how many people have these A1 Qaeda allies actually killed? Accordingtothe Wikipedia article, the total civilians estimated to have been killed as a result of insurgent actions is between 2399 and 3,949—far fewer than the U.Sled military has accomplished in the same amount of time. I suppose this means our military is better at killing civilians than those terrorist insurgents, eh? And if I understood Obama correctly, he wants to send more death more trained killers (otherwise known as soldiers) into the area. Obama's affection for military violence propels him easily and painlessly into my category of sadistic persons subscribing to the doctrine that lightness is proportional to powerfulness. As such, it is no wonder why he would make the following statement: There is an uncompromising core of the Taliban. They must be met with force, and they must be defeated." In other words, there is no need to talkor i> with the Taliban, because they refuse to compromise;" besides, we can simply settle this by "force" anyway, so why not just use that first? I swear I've heard this before... except it wasn't the Taliban who was "uncompromising." Back in October 2001 former president Bush rejected the Taliban's request to hand Osama bin Laden over for a trial (after the U.S. had begun its devastating bombing campaign) if the U.S. would produce evidence connecting bin Laden to 9/11. As an October 15. 2001 article at independent.co.uk entitled Bush rejects Taliban offer to surrender bin Laden reported: "After a week of debilitating strikes at targets across Afghanistan, the Taliban repeated an offer to hand over Osama bin Laden, only to be rejected by President Bush...Haji Abdul Kabir, the Taliban's deputy prime minister, said: 'If America were to step back from the current policy, then we could negotiate.'...But as American warplanes entered the second week of the bombing campaign, Washington rejected the Taliban offer out of hand When 1 said no negotiations I meant no negotiations,' Mr. Bush said. 'We know he's guilty. 1 urn him over. There's no need to discuss innocence or guilt.'" As we can see, back in 2001 it was the U.S. who was "uncompromising" when it came to non-violent resolutions. It was the Taliban who wanted to negotiate, with respect to the innocence or guilt of the accused, no less—a democratic process, mind you. But, the U.S. preferred the use of force. Now, over seven years later, we have another president trumpeting the use of force and truncating the use of negotiations all over again. And as the numbers attest, it is mostly the Afghan civilians who will pay the "ultimate price" for this use of force. I therefore maintain that president Obama is every bit as sadistic as president Bush was when Bush opted for military violence as a solution in Afghanistan. I care not how fluently Obama can articulate his obsession for violence in Afghanistan with rhetorical luster, it is the same doctrine underneath and I s tringently abhor it. Killing people is not good policy; in fact, it's no "policy" at all. It's savage ruthlessness. Let's hope to improve our health A weapon is only a tool JOHNATHAN JACOB jajcob015@uwp.edu I truly believe that our new president is passionately committed to improving the health- care system in our country. Along with the economic crisis, he has long stated that it is at the top of his agenda. Unfortunately, we have been victimized in the past by promises that were not fulfilled or by presidents who were untruthful. I will refrain from making any individual indictments. It is a very hard pill to swallow, no pun intended, knowing that one has to constantly worry about how to get decent health insurance. I will share some of my experiences, knowing that many others can relate: When I was a kid and had health insurance, the concerns were insignificant compared to what they are today. There was the anxiety associated with getting a shot or going to the dentist, but the ability to receive medical attention was something I took for granted. And there wasn't the worry over how I was going to pay for it. Fastforward many years and it's painful to accept that my attitude, due to various circumstances, has changed drastically. Even when I was fresh out of high school and new to the full-time work force, I didn't take the situation too seriously. If I had insurance, I treated it like a bonus, not a blessing. Oh, how times have changed. As I got older, especially when I became a father, I realized how difficult life could be without adequate insurance. If you've ever been treated at an emergency room without having insurance, I'm sure you understand. And when the bill comes it can be shocking how expensive it is just to be seen by a doctor. You are blessed if this has never happened to you. However, if you have, even once, refused to go to the hospital because you could not afford to, especially when you knew it was in your best interest to get treated, you know exactly what I mean. I have faced this dilemma many times. There are a few aches and pains that I would like to get checked out now, but I won't allow myself to get stuck with another medical bill. I could go into a long diatribe about the politics and greed that are mostly responsible for this appalling condition, but I won't. It is a situation that affects everyone and it needs to change. In a nation that has as many resources as ours, everybody should have some kind of health insurance. The president can' t do it by himself, but I surely hope he remains committed to the caufce. ADAM SPIVEY spiveyadam@yahoo.com Headlines today on the Internet read, "N .C shooi tngd eath toll rises." It seems that yet again another idiot with a gun has popped off and started shooting people. This time our idiotic perpetrator committed this vile act in a nursing home. In a nursing home, are you serious? The shooter is not connected to anyone he shot; he killed eight and wounded even more and he did not even know who they were. In the aftermath of events like this, or others like it such as Columbine. Virginia Tech, NIU and many others we all wonder...why? How could this happen? What caused this? I guess my question is why are we surprised? We live in a world of violence, like it or not the culture of not just the United States, but also the world over, is a violent one. I followed up my reading concerning this most recent shooting with another article about a possible bill in Texas passing that allows concealed carry for registered gun owners over the age of 21 that have passed background checks, and the opposition to this bill. I can understand the hesitation to arm the populace, but at the same time our police are primarily reactionary. How can we ever hope to have response fast enough to stop this seemingly endless stream of disgruntled shooters? Should we not seek a balance? If there is legislation to disarm or prevent legitimate law abiding citizens from protecting themselves then what have we in effect done? We have disarmed the peoples whose intent to carry a weapon was noble and gave the green light to the criminal elements of our nation and the mentally deranged that "hey man. it's ok they are all sitting ducks anyhow". I feel f or every person affected by any tragedy involving guns, but 1 think it is the responsibility of those of us not emotionally involved and scarred by a massacre to decide the best course to protect ourselves from further threat. The opposition to concealed carry laws say that gun are to accessible or thai we need a ban on all firearms. I think it is crucial to remember that the pe ople that commit violent gun crimes that result in mass deaths like the school shootings and the more recent nursing home killings would find a way around any law preventing them from obtaining a gun anyhow, and if not a gun it would be something else, possibly worse. A weapon is only a tool, a gun is not good or evil, it merely becomes an extension of its user's intent. If that intent is murder, then that is what the gun is a tool for, if that intent is to protect others then the gun is just as willing a participant. Our focus should not be on condemning our tools, but examining the society that crea tes people willing to use these tools to murder.
