"We don't try to put our opinion on anybody.but PSGA Passes Two New Resolutions BY MAJTHEW MACOMBER macomOO2@uwp.edu Student and family concerns were the main topics at the Parkside Student Government Association meeting on Friday, Feb. 16. Two new resolutions were proposed and passed by the senate. focusing on UW- Parkside's membership With the United Council of UW Students and the ability for UW-Parkside students with families to become more involved with school events. The Spiegelhoff Act, proposed by PSGA senator Michael Spiegelhoff, will place a referendum on the April 2007 bailot giving UW-Parkside students the choice of whether to keep or decline the university's membership with the United Council of UW Students. Currently, all students are taxed a $2 fee per semester toward UW-Parkside's membership. "The Parkside Student Government Association needs to be fiscally responsible with all student dollars [... ] a two dollar tax on the student body per semester is a theft to the patrons of the UW-Parkside for [a] less than favorable result and whereas it is an uneLhicaJ decision to feed a mandatory fee to an organization that is failing, the resolution states" Senator Adam Schemm, who co-sponsored the Spiegel hoff Act, explained to the senate that the United Council of UW Students is a failing organization due to its inability to maintain its staff. The executive director was fired and organizing and communications director resigned, leaving those positions of United Council vacant, currently, Senator Patricia Jensen proposed the second resolution passed at the PSGA meeting Friday. The Family Pass Resolution centers on UW- Parkside students with children and their ability to attend student sporting events and various other events that are held in the evenings and on the weekends. Jensen suggested that UW- Parks ide should offer students the opportunity to purchase family passes so they can attend school events with their children and families. The resolution states that "nontraditional students with children comprise a significant portion of the student population" and that these students "would be willing to participate in attending sports continue to page 3 "Come get that good copy!" · . 2 February 20, 2007 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fox: (262) 595·2295 Ads: uwp_cds@yahoo.com Website: rangernews@uwp.edu Editor·in·Chief And'IW C.

It was exciting to talk with so many people who face the same frustrations and who share similar goals and enthusiasm for reaching them. It's invigorating to look at what other schools' papers are doing and see what works and looks cool and figure out how we can incorporate new ideas into what we're already doing. Hearing inspiring speeches by long-time journalists can rejuvenate one's ambition to investigate and uncover truth. The complicated part after the conference, though, is trying to sustain that enthusiasm when we get back, when we have to put the plan into motion, when the problems we solved in our heads have to be evidenced in print. It's easy to be enthusiastic when you see the results in your head only seconds after envisioning the changes you want to make. Sometimes I ignore or forget the amount of time it takes to implement the new ideas that catch my attention, which is the way I felt on the ride back from the conference.

However, as I finish writing this, we're in the middle of a layout process that started 8 hours later than usual and is characterized by many of the problems we left in Wisconsin on Friday, One of the sessions we attended was a critique of the overall look of a university's newspaper. We stayed around afterward and talked to one of the conductors of the workshop, and one of the things he stressed to us was to break down the project we bad in front of us, to engage in and accomplish smaller tasks, one at a time, In some ways I liken it to the mantra created around this office a couple years ago: make each issue better than the one previous to it. It's a building proces. , and that's what I think we have to do now. When you look at this issue. you're not going to see evidence of every single thing we learned over this past weekend, but pieces of that knowledge are there. My goal now is to show more and more of what we've learned in the weeks and months ahead and to gradually evidence more and more of the insight and information we've acquired by adding to what is already a publication of which I'm very proud. So, I think we've already begun the process of strengthening our paper. Even before we left, we saw improvement in our Question of the Issue and the amount of news stories we covered. I think that this issue will show some of the direction in which we're moving and how we're improving our publication as a whole ... well. except having my face on page 2 every week.

GOLF .c Director.Resolution Vetoed in PSGA BY ANDREW C. WESTBROOK westbOO2@uwp.edu Parkside Student Government Association president Tyson Fettes announced during the PSGA meeting, at noon, on Feb. 9, that he had vetoed the resolution passed last week to create separate positions of Multicultural Director and LGBTQA Director in the PSGA senate. The resolution, sponsored by senator Carly Anne Surber, stated that it be resolved that "we support the acknowledgement and promotion of Multicultural Issues, Women's Issues, and LGBTQ issues by establishing the separate positions of Multicultural Director and LGBTQA Director." LGBTQA (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Allies) people "are part of a community of similar interests, not as a unified and transmitted culture, race, or ethnicity, although those individuals may experience a crossing-over according to their background and heritage," stated the resolution. Fettes said during the meeting tbat he has instructed the diversity director. Anita Robertson, to change the name of the Diversity Committee and its bylaws to include LGBTQ issues by Feb. 23. Robertson's next meeting of the Diversity Committee will take place on Feb. 22 in the PSG A office at 5 p.m. Fettes had previously said that be felt that the Diversity Committee could handle the responsibility of also covering LGBTQ issues and that he did not want to create positions for the sake of doing so. According to Fettes, he has been under pressure to cut executive stipend spending within PSG A and that adding a new director position would conflict with that (In the meeting on Jan. 19, David Wilson and Patricia Jensen co-sponsored the "Excessive Executive Stipends Act" to cut executive spending on stipends). Surber had voiced the idea in a revious PSGA senate meeting that the position could be either temporarily or permanently unpaid. Spending continued to he an issue in the meeting, as Louis Kirleis. director the Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee, announced that there would be additional cuts made at I :30 p.m. that day because segregated fees were still too high and needed to be decreased further.

'JIJIJ7 Shrinki Zero Company that Recruits on Campus Might Scam College' Students BY ROBERT ROSATI AND TONY KINNARD robertrosati@hotrnail.com darkstar 13_200 I @yahoo.com Vector Marketing. a company that was on campus numerous times last semester, may have deceived college students in their recruiting. This company was most recently on campus last week on Feb. 6. Vector Marketing is the-sales division of the Alcas Corporation, who are the manufacturers of CutCQ Cutlery. Among the ways that Vector Marketing recruits people is by having flyers across campus that advertise the starting pay to be $15 per hour. The only prerequisite for the job is that the applicant must be at least 18 years old. However, the flyers are very vague as to what the job entails, as it is not explained what it is that a person has to do to earu that Sf S. The $15 is only a base pay for each appointment setup. An employee is not paid for the three-day training seminar, the gasoline for traveling to appointments (as an employee has to use his or her own car to get to appointments). or the time for calling peopleto set up appointments. Vector Marketing has a history of deceiving potential employees and unethical business practices. An August 2004 article written for The Statesman Journal states that Vector Marketing "has outraged students nationwide with its recruiting and employment-related practices." The same article had an interview with Emily Puterbaugh, a fanner employee for Vector Marketing in Tacoma. Washington. who explained that whenever someone called the office inquiring about the job, she "was given a script to read, which provided liule information about the job. emphasizing that it didn't involve door-to-door sales or telemarketing. If people insisted on more details. she said sbe was instructed to reply that she didn't know any further information and urge callers to schedule an interview."

I'IB& I. -~ .............. I was actually kind of glad this week when I noticed that someone had written to point out some mistakes we had made in last week's issue. I don't mean to imply that I'm glad that we made some mistakes; though, we certainly did make some; 1 was just glad that someone had actually written something to us at all. It seems like every week ['!I' worried about something during the layout of the paper. Whether it be a comic or a story, there is invariably something that 1 think is going to cause a lot of problems when the issue comes out on Tuesday afternoon. SOl I sit or and think about whatever I perceive the problem to bet until about Thursday at 3 or 4 p.m .. when the Issue has been out for about 2 days and no one has said a word. I guess that's the point where 1 becnme a little disappointed, because it leads me to one of two scenarios: either no one read the paper that week, or no one really cared about anything in it. There have been a couple of weeks in which I think the former situation is true. If \ see that our stands are about as full as they were when we put the papers on them, then 1 can guess that people simply aren't picking it up. However, it most instances, I attribute the lack of feedback to the latter of the IWO aforementioned scenarios. Getting people interested is the hard part. More than once people have told me that we could get more readers if we'd do this or that, if we had more film reviews. for instance, or that we could get more writers if we just let everyone write whatever they want, like editorials or CD reviews. I've found that the difficulty is trying to get people interested and committed to The Ranger News while, at the same time, preserving our identity as a NEWSpaper. The Ranger News is the student newspaper of UW- Parkside, a means of informing the campus of what's going on in this small community, but we also consider ourselves an educational entity, as well, trying to teach journalism in a university that offers no official program in it. I don't mean to say that editorials and other aspects of such a publication are nat important. However, we are a newspaper, and I believe that first and foremost, we should focus on news. That could be a little idealistic, and I guess if everyone quits and I'm standing in the office all by myself, I'll realize that I made a mistake, but for now, I think this is the right direction. -Andrew C.

February 6. 2007 Music And Soul page 5 Amnesty International Demonstrates Against Guantanamo_-----:- BY TINA STRAUSS Strau012@uwp.edu In an attempt to "shake off student apathy" toward the human rights violations occurring at Guantanamo Bay Navel Base, Amnesty International paraded members (rom the Union cafeteria to Main Place wearing orange jumpsuits ffi with burlap sacks over :3 their heads on Wednesday, ~ Jan. 31. Members carried F! signs that read. "Denounce ~ Torture, Close Guantanamo ~ Bay Today, and Stop Human:;; Rights Abuse." 5 Elise Dunton. president iE of the Uw-Parkside Chapter of Amnesty International, explained that it has been five years since the United States took detainees: to the prison at Guantanamo Bay and that the human rights violations that take place there are largely ignored. Katie Smith, the secretary of Amnesty International, added, "Students are apathetic. They don't care about what's going on in the world. and to an extent, that's understandable: we're all busy ... but there are serious violations of human dignity going on in this world. We are just trying to find a way to best draw attention to those issues." Specifically, the issue being addressed by the demonstration was the treatment of Guantanamo Bay detainees who are assumed to have information on terrorist activities. Smith explained that Amnesty International is concerned about prisoners' welfare because ..the Geneva Conventions don't apply; they're not technically prisoners of war. This isn't technically a war. Even though it's a war on terror and a war in Iraq, it's not really a war according to the administration. 1£ they're not prisoners of war, they don't get any of the prisoner of war considerations whatsoever, so [the military personnel] can torture them." Smith also emphasized that many detainees "haven't even been charged with a crime. They are just being detained in the event that possibly someday they might have some information:' To that, Dunton added, "And in the meantime, they're tortured. [It's] unbearable," The demonstration was designed to sbock onlookers, and Amnesty International members were pleased with students' responses.

The exception was the Athletics Department, which received a 9 percent increase in funds, giving them $36,000 more than last year. Besides general cuts for most organizations and 1 departments, an additional penalty was imposed on some organizations for submitting their budget requests late. Sacred Circle and the Parkside Adult Student Alliance were penalized for delayed requests. The SPOilS and Activity Center, Aquatics, Intramurals, and Athletics' requests - :;: Q ~ :I: 2 >- '" z o ~ ~ BY TINA STRAUSS StrauOI2@uwp.edu were also late; however, they were not penalized. One of the fees charged to students on their tuition bills is the segregated fee. The funds collected from this fee are distributed among campus departments and organizations. To be eligible for these funds, .student organizations must submit a budget request and presentation to SUFAC, the committee designated to allocate the segregated fees. SUFAC determines each organization's allotment, which the Parkside Student Government Association then approves or denies. Despite an expected $]00 increase in segregated fees next year. organization budgets are still being cut. Louie Kirleis, director of SUFAC, explained that these cuts are necessary to fund the Union Expansion. He also emphasized that "some of our student organizations are over-funded compared to other UW- System schools. It's not that they're not doing good things .. .lt's just, financially, we can't have everybody doing every program they want to put on." In addition to receiving fewer student funds, several organizations were penalized for missing the Jan. 5 deadline for budget requests. Kirleis explained that according to the SUFAC bylaws, penalties for late requests are "under the discretion of the committee.' Carly-Anne Surber. a member of SUFAC, said that the I percent deduction per day late is outlined in the bylaws, but the organizations were nor aware that late submissions would prohibit them from presenting their proposal to the committee. She said ..."As far as not presenting, that's not a policy; that was just a decision, so they would not have had any previous knowledge that that could have happened." The decision to deny Sacred Circle and PASA the opportunity to present resulted in both organizations receiving a $0.00 allotment for 2007 ·08. Surber said that the $0.00 allotment is not permanent because "if organizations or departments .. _want more money than they have been allocated, they can appeal to the board and try to convince the board not to cut them." PASA's appeal took place Friday, Feb. 1. Sacred Ci~cJe has been allowed extra time to organize their appeal. which they will submit this week. Both Kirleis and Rebecca Coan-Henderleiter, Vice President of Sacred Circle, thought it would be besl for Sacred Circle to stay focused on th~ Honoring The Children Pow Wow, which CONTINUE TO PAGE 3 "Come get that good copy!" 2 February 6, 2007 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone;(262)595.2287 Fox; (262) 595-2295 Ads: uwp_ads@yahoo.com Website: rangernews@uwp.edu Editor-In-Chief Andr~w C.

PUJ.t The Ranger News I remember writing previously that I wasn't going to write any more letters, so I guess this makes me a liar. It's kind of a refreshing change tn write a letter from the editor in which I'm not apologizing for somerhing or explaining somerhing I did wrong. However, now I have the issue of having to figure ont what I'm going to say. In our executive board meeting last week, we spent a long time trying to assess what we felt we were lacking as an organization and as a newspaper, and we came np with a lot of good ideas, some of which I had previously Com.

The compositions of our own James Crowley are featured. 'Scordatura' is performed by guitarist George Lindquist. This solo classical guitar piece featuring extended techniques and unusual textures. The title refers to the fact that the guitarist must tune his low E string to E flat, allowing normally unplayable chords to be played, and creating unexpected melodic patterns. "Chromatic Etude" is performed by saxophonist Ken Fabis. This short movement shows suspected but for which I hadn't devised a solution. One issue that ( hadn't really considered before was a matter of personality, that there was no real face of The Ranger News as rhere had been in the past. [suppose that r had really tried to avoid making myself very visible, trying to allow the publication emphasize the work of the individuals who created it, rather than the guy in charge. But, we came to the conclusion that the paper had become too impersonal and that there may have been a disconnect with people who read it. Not to say that throwing a picture of me on Page 2 with some text will change that, but we decided that it would help, not only in establishing a better repoire with our readers bur also in getting people to get more involved with The Ranger News. We came up with a lot of ideas for The Ranger News, but I'd still like to encourage all of you to give us your feedback and opinions, as well. If you don't like something in the paper, let us know. If you want to say something, write a 100 Words More or Less submission. If you have any interest at all ill working at The Ranger News, Slap by or office or come to our meetings or workshops. [guess I don't have much else to say in this first letter; I wanted to implament our new ideas right away and therefore didn't give myself a 10lof lime to plan out what r wanted to say. Although. T guess the semester is still relatively young, so I think [still have some time yet.

Fettes said that PSGA will be looking to fill this position and that applications are available in the PSGA office. 10 his report, Fettes also said that a state of the school address will be held at noon on Feb. 28 in either mid or upper Main Place. In a report from Constitution Committee director Michael Scerpella, Scerpella announced that the new constitution will be e-mailed out to senators later than was expected for their review. In his director report, Louis Kirleis, director of the Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee, announced tbat Jan. 29 at 4:30 p.m. will be the last point at which student organizations and other groups can appeal the amount of money SUFAC suggested allotting them. The first of four additions to the PSGA senate at the meeting was Alesha Goss, the new representative of the UW- Parks ide Women's Center. PSGA's constitution calls for the Women's Center to have a representative in PSGA meetings. The other three additions to the senate were by way of elections. Anthony Rcgnsvoog, Sandi Love, and Richard Anderson were all elected to the PSGA senate on Friday. The senate returned to the Excessive Executive Stipends Act introduced to senator David Wilson in the previous meeting. Wilson was not in attendance for the meeting, but Patricia Jensen, rl~:;:;: who co-sponsored the bill with Wilson, was at the meeti ng. so th resolution could still be discusse and voted upon. The resolution stated that "no stipends for any organization should exceed a maximum amount of 25% of tha organizations [sic] final budget." The resolution was rejected by a voteof6-12-3. The Excessive Executive Stipends Act was the first of two resolutions by Wilson and Jense that ~ere discussed at the Jan. 2 meeting. The second was titled the Information and Training of Student Governance Act.

UW - Parkside Recognized for Community Engagement BY TINA M. STRAUSS Strauf) l 2@uwp.edu UW - Parkside is among 76 other post- secondary institutions recognized by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in December 2006 for outstanding community engagement, as well as being among the 62 institutions to receive the honor in two separate categories. The Carnegie Foundation classifies the characteristics and activities of colleges and universities for the purpose of educational research. All accredited institutions are automatically classified in the categories of Undergraduate Instructional Program, Graduate Instructional Program. Enrollment Profile, lIndergraduate Profile, and Size and Setting. The elective classification category is a new addition to the classification system. and Community Engagement is the first elective category. 88 colleges and universities applied to be recognized by the Community Engagement classification. The Community Engagement classification is defined on the Carnegie Foundation's Web site as "the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities ... for the mutually beneficial exchange of knowledge and resources-in a context of partnership and reciprocity." Within this classification, schools' achievements are categorized as Curricular Engagement, Outreach and Partnerships. or demonstrating a strong commitment to both. UW-Parkside was recognized as a scbool dedicated to both Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships. Dr. Thomas Schnaubelt, dean for Community Engagement and Civic Learning, explained that this campus offers a wide variety of programs and services that contribute to the Community Engagement recognition. UW-Parkside's-58 Community Based Learning classes that were offered in 2006-07. local internships. and partnerships with community organizations. businesses, and governments are factors that distinguish the school in community relationships. UW- Parks ide, the only school in " Wisconsin to be awarded the Community Engagement classi fication. has made community involvement a priority. According to the university mission statement UW- Parkside will "provide and share in cultural and intellectual activities in partnership with our local and regional communities." Schnaubelt stressed that it is important for universities to distinguish themselves and that "this external review and public affirmation is a significant and positive step fnr UW-Parkside." He believes that a campus dedicated to fostering positi ve community relationships prepares students to be more than just good employees; they will enter the workforce as good ~itiz~ns who are able to make significant contributions to society. .

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document � Split on Diversity in PSGA Senate University of W1sconsln-ParkJIde's Student Newspaper BY:ANDREW C. WESTBROOK westb002@uwp.edu Diversiry issues played a prominent role at parkside Student Government Association's first meeting of the semester, Friday, Jan. 19. President Tyson Fettes announced that the resolution introduced last semester by Senator Carly-Anne Surber to create the position of LGBTQ Director had been vetoed (LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning). Fettes said that he believes that PSGA's diversity director can handle those responsibilities, adding that PSGA should not create new positions for the sake of creating new positions, as it would leave the door open to any number of new positions being. created. Surber said that she had collected over 250 signatures from students on the LlW-Parkside campus in favor of having an LGBTQ director position and that for PSGA not to have the position would mean they are ignoring the LGTB voice on this campus. Surber motioned to add an appeal of this veto to old business for the meeting, but the motion failed. President Pro-Tempore Brian Graziano advised Surber that a resolution can be reintroduced at any time and that she could bring it back at the next meeting. Surber said in an interview that she will be reintroducing the resolution in PSGA's next meeting, but if necessary, a speak-out or rally may be created all campus. She said that any such demonstration would be in Main Place and could include a march from the Union to the PSGA office. Emily Junion, director of the'PSGA's Women's Issues Committee, offered that committee as a means of covering some of the issues that may have fallen under the responsibilities of LGBTQ director.

The Fair also featured an organization parade from the Union back to Main Place. Spring Convocation Honors BYKAJTLYNM. ULMER eapoe666@yahoo.com Over eggs and pancakes, Chancellor John Keating headed the spring 2007 Convocation, beld at the Parkside Cafe on Jan. 11, by stressing UW- Parkside's diversity, community engagement, and academic excellence. After announcing new faculty and staff positions, Keating reiterated the two charges he was given by the University of Wisconsin-System when he was hired: to increase enrollment and to engage the campus with the community. Statistics show that UW- Parks ide is the most diverse UW-Systern university, with 40 percent of its students in the lowest two quintiles in the state for income, and many of them are the first in their immediate family to attend a higher educational institution. Because UW-Park.<;;ide continues to be an inclusive campus, incidents like the removal or defacing of posters advertising events by the campus' LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Questioning) organization Rainbow Alliance will not be allowed. "This will not be tolerated. We are an inclusive campus and that means everyone," Keating said. "And if there's anyone who doesn't like that inclusiveness, they should get out of this campus because they don't belong in our culture." March 8-9 the Board of Regents will be visiting the university for the first time in over eight years. For this visit, Keating wants to focus on academic excellence, as opposed to the diversity on campus. 'When the regents come here, we're not going to say 'We're the most diverse campus;' 'we're the campus that's really serving the poor in the state;' 'we're the campus that is the best value added of any campus in the system.' We're going to concentrate on our excellence, our academic excellence. Our first mission is to educate our students with high-quality faculty and staff, and we're doing that," Keating said. In the past seven months, staff updated the SOLAR system. To avoid being caught in the "solar eclipse" while the system was down Jan. 4-8, professors posted grades earlier than in previous years. At the end of what Keating described as a "gruesome type of process," students experienced the best turnaround in 15 years for grade entry and submission by their professors. The School of Business and Technology retained accreditation from the . Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business International. Uw-Parkside is among the 34 percent of U.S. business schools and 7 percent of schools worldwide to hold this accreditation. The Master Plan promises significant alterations to the university, including the Union expansion, due to begin in February and be completed in 2009. In addition, the Communication Arts building will also he expanded using funds from businessman Darshan Dhaliwal, who gifted the largest private donation January 23, 2007 PARKSIDE NATIONAL SMALL P NT EXHIBITION PAGE 4 dirorial policy and con/till. Spirit and Sports at UW-P STAFF REPORT UW-Parkside will give away over $600 to student organizations and try to break a university sports attendance record as the university celebrates Spirit Week, Jan. 22-27. . With much of the week's activity centered around Uw-Parkside's Men's and Women's Basketball teams, there will be a pep rally on Wednesday, Jan. 24, which includes a meet and greet session with the players at noon in Main Place. The event features free food, and, according to UW-Parkside Athletic Director Dave Williams, "We'll have lots of free things to give away." The games begin on Thursday, Jan. 25, as Women's Basketball starts at 5:30 p.m. Student organizations have the opportunity to earn money for their organizations during the Thursday and Saturday games, held in the DeSimone Gymnasium, in Uw-Parkside's Sports & Activity Center. According to WiJliams, the first organization to show up for the game on Thursday will receive $75, and a financial award will also be given the most creative student arg.- The Men's Basketball game, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. the sarne night, is being advertised as "Pack the Gym Night," as the university attempts to break the school record for attendance, currently 2,048 people. Williams said that the 2,000-person plateau had not been reached by UW-Parkside in nearly 20 years. The Men's game will be taped for broadcast by Time Warner Cable. Women's and Men's Basketball play again on Jan. 27 at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., respectively, for Alumni Basketball Day. UW-Parkside student organizations and athletic teams showing the most spirit, as judged by select faculty and staff, can win $500 for their group. Williams said that the judges are looking for groups who CONTINUE TO PAGE 5 in our university's 38-year abroad in South Africa under the history.

The second resolution stated. "Parkside Student Government Association sees fit to establish the position of LGTBQ Director for the upcoming 2007 -2008 year, and will forward this document to The Ranger News for release:' All three of these resolutions were tabled until the regularly scheduled meeting on Fnday, Dec. 8; however, during that meeting those resolutions were tabled once again because of time constraints. The Dec. 8 meeting started off with a presentation by Parkside Police Chief Michael Manion. The presenation was an informational session about Tasers and their use in law enforcement after the Mount Pleasant Police department donated four Tasers to Parkside Police. He spoke about the possibility of officers carrying these weapons; although, he said only two would be in use at any given time because of the number of officers on duty. ii!IIIMENTAL HEALTH from cover Manion said that the Tasers would serve as an intermediate step between initial contact and deadly force. He 'tressed thaI they would be another option for officers ~hen.are confronted with dangerous Situations. The second half of the meeting was spent discussing PSGA's 07-08 budget proposal. Per the new spending guideline, budget proposals must be passed by the general membership of an organization before being submitted to SUFAC. Senator Carly-Anne Surber suggested a cut in the stipends across the board. President Tyson Fettes defended the proposed stipends, saying that he is the lowest-paid student government president among 4-year UW-System schools and thaI the percentage of the budget proposal spent on stipends is 3 percent lower than the 35 percent that they could have requested. The motion to cut the stipend figure. was voted on and not approved. The senate then voted on the budget proposal as a whole, and it was approved. Young on the senate nominees was postponed. The next PSGA meeting will be Friday, Dec. 15, in Molinaro D139. Treatment Act. The two lawmakers also held a press conference in September with others in recovery to appeal for treating addiction on par with other medical conditions in addition to this bill. There are as many as 80 other members of the house with mental health or substance use issues themselves. Over 300 organizations across the U.S. support the passage of this bill, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, American Federation for Suicide Prevention, Brain Injury Association of America Inc., Center for Women's Policy Studies, Easter Seals. ational Council on Aging, National Eating Disorders Association. United Jewish Communities. and the Wisconsin Psychological Association. According to Renee Kirby, the Disabilities Coordinator for UW-Parkside, the university has approximately 275 to 300 students each year with documented disabilities, approximately 80 with a diagnosed mental illness, and 78 with a diagnosed learning disability each year; she noted that 90 percent of students have more than one diagnosed disability. Half of the number of students with documented disabilities would benefit from this legislation. The benefit is that a student who needed immediate hospitalization for a mental health iss.!!ecould not be turned away by the hospital for the inability to pay, an experience she had in the past. Kirby said that eventually suitable placement was found for the student with the help of the caseworker and the on call p ychiatric professional at the hospital to a local residential treatment center. but what if there had been no room there? Kirby believes me bill will restore the earlier cuts made by President Bu ...h to the mental health and veterans program, due to the war. which doesn't make sense to Kirby. This bill would guarantee that the limits placed on treatment times would be made equal to those of treatment of physical illnesses. One aspect of thi bill is that it forces insurance companies to stop requiring higher co-pays, higher deducribles. higher co-in urance. and limiting doctor visit, and ho pital !-l(3)JS for mental health patients by extreme compared to physical health patient: will have to be equalized according to treatment plan recommendancns set out in the DSM (IV).

Rieppel is from Switzerland; he studied in London and graduated from the University of Zurich. In 1951, a hypothesis was fonned that snakes come from a terrestrial origin. Snakes originated from reduced limbed lizards as evidenced by the reduction of eye and limbs. Many lineages i~tly reduced limb to aryina degrees. Limb reduced sq111rnates ~ by pushing with their bis thr~h substrate by inqlimilizing dlo size of their head and body. 111',v., .... -,..ow lizards consolidate their kull and lower jaw. The skull is not a good tool to use when ~-However, due to - adaptation, their bniDcue ~ larger thus making their ~ a good tool for burrowing. Fossils dating back 130 W1lion years are most informative from the Middle East; they show lizards have hind limbs. In 1997, Caldwell and Leses found fossils from the Pachyrhachis era that ~_pdnutive snakes with weJl-4eveloped hind limbs, which link the snake to the 'fflDMIW Fossils of snakes fiith weJl.developed hand limbi _. that they are a sister group to mosasaurs. Aniloded IIIIIDI have a lateros sphenoid bone. Scolecophided snakes have a single mental forarnen. A regressive ancestral condition for squamates is an anap id skull. The way to maximize the cross section of the jaw adductor musculature in a close space is by manipulating the muscle architecture. At 1he end of the lecture, be Mid osteology was not aatisfactqry coough to identify all snake relationships and that preconceived tions on snake relationships show.a not be allowed to prevent the evaluation ~ an unorlhodox hypodieais.

The style of the song, West Indian Calypso, also helped him out drastically. Peralta's sliding vocal_smatched the song's style beautifully. [was also impressed to see that Peralta had the entire song memorized. He had ari enormous solo, which must have been fairly difficult to memorize. My personal favorite song that University Chorale sang was still "Marry a Woman Uglier than You." This little number is always quite the crowd pleaser. Once again, the audience cracked up at the song's lyrics. The title probably had something to do with it, too. Voices of Parkside sang eight numbers: "Praise Ye the Lord," ."God is a Spirit," "Sing unto the Lord," "If music be the Food of Love," "Hail Mary," "Do not Awaken the Sleeping Little Baby," "Rockin' Jerusalem," and "Three Spanish Carols" ("Pastores a Belen," "Que regalo?," and "Adorer eI Nino"). The soloists in "Rockin' Jerusalem" were Kristina Dahl and Adrian O'Connor. Dahl's operatic, soprano voice soared once more. O'Connor gave a good attempt at his solo but was a'iittle Oat for most of it. "If Music be the Food of better job than when .1last saw , Love" was definitely one of him perform the piece, ."

That was clearly the question that everyone had at the time, both on and off the stage. University Chorale initially sang seven songs: "Hallelujah!" "All ye who music love," "All Ye that Cried unto the Lord," "A Red, Red Rose," "Marry a Woman Uglier than You," "Lo! How A Rose E'er Blooming," and "Alleluia." "Hallelujah!" started off the concert with a powerful and dynamic entrance. Rita Torcaso, a student conductor, directed the choir during "La! How A Rose E'er Blooming."

" My other favorite song that this choir performed was Gregory Berg's ''Do not Awaken the Sleeping Little Baby." This number was a fun, staccato piece.

The members included Elizabeth Lynn Hanson, Briana Lipor, Aimee Miller, Sha- Nita Rhea, and Lizann Villatoro. The first time Iheard this song performed by this group, I thought it sounded fairly decent. It is difficult to produce a 'great number when not all of the group's members are present. This time around. with each of the members there, the song was brilliantly sung. It was absolutely gorgeous! After High Five performed, the audience was Invited to sing 3 couple Christmas carols with the choir. The audience and choir were directed by Carly Potter and Terry Spradlin. The caroling sounded like it was a big hit. University Chorale was back on the stage to close out the show with four shorter pieces. They sang "Pat-a-Pan,' "Nia,' "Earol of the Bells," and "My God is an Awesome God." The final song, "My God is an Awesome God." was. a delightful ending to an excellent concert: This song had the choir swaying, sidestepping, and smiling throughout the entire piece. The soloists were Ayesu Lartey, Lizann Villatoro, and Benjamin Hacker. Each of these soloists did a great job and had a nice. strong voice. Bravo to you all! There was supposed to be one more section of the audience joining with the choir in singing more Christmas carols. but this moment never happened. Alejandro Alumbreros accompanied the choirs on piano. .1've never seen Alumbreros perform before, but he was clearly a professional and has been playing the piano for a long time. He was fun to watch, and his hand movements on the keys were intriguing.

If "Joyeux Noel" suffers from anything it is a slow, plodding, pace. To get the audience in touch with the soldiers, there is a great effort made to focus on little things and minor moments that anyone could relate roo And. while this is effective, it forces the film to crawl at times.

The Rangers returned with two hard fought losses and a conference record of 1-3 (6-4 overall). The team suffered a loss of 66-62 to the Cougars of SIU Edwardsville on Thursday night, Dec. and another defeat of 82-72 to the Hawks of Quincy University on Saturday afternoon, Dec. The Rangers led until late in both games. Good all-around effort by both teams had Thursday's game against SIU-Edwardsville tied at the end of the first half .. As a team, the Rangers made five three-pointers • and shot 45.2 percent from the field in the first half. Brad Ferstenou and Cory Brezovar both knocked down two jumpers each from long range. The Cougar's matched the hot shooting of the Rangers with a first half percentage of 51.7 from the field. There were six ties and five. lead changes in the first half, with Lavontay Fenderson taking-flight with a powerful slam to tie the game at 34 to end the first half. UW-Parkside's nice shooting continued in the second half. as the Rangers added four more threepointers and shot 42.9 percent from the field. The game' continued to be tight, however, as the lead continued to flip-flop between UWParks ide and Sill-Edwardsville. While attempting 13 more shots from the charity stripe than the Rangers' single second half free throw attempt, the Cougars captured a four-point lead over the Panthers with 3 :08 remaining in the game. Fenderson then hit a threepoint shot to reduce the Cougar's lead to one, making the score 63- 62. A pair of turnovers and missed shots by UW-Parkside allowed SIU-Edwardsville to pull away with the 66-62 victory over the Rangers. Ferstenou led all Rangers with 14 points, while Fenderson and Brezovar both contributed with 13 points in Thursday's difficult contest. UW-Parkside arrived at Quincy University on Saturday, Dec. 9, desiring a win to redeem Thursday's loss. The team found itself in another tense first half of basketball. The Rangers jumped out to an early seven-point lead, making five of their first six shots from the field. . The Rangers shot 43.3 percent from the field for the entire half. Quincy quickly diminished UW-Parkside's lead with their own great shooting, making five of eight froin threepoint range for 62.5 percent. Quincy's Andre Muse finished the first half with a three-pointer to capture the lead for·Quincy; however, La Ventay Fenderson and Kyle Clark's first half points of 12 and II, respectively, kept the Rangers close behind the Hawks at halftime. Quincy University entered the second half by quickly securing an eight-point lead. Good defense then fueled the Rangers, as they went on a 9-0 run to recapture the lead 46-45. Midway through the second half, Parkside began to pull away with a seven-point lead, but poor shooting from the field allowed Quincy to get back into the game. Down "the stretch, the Ranger's 25 percent shooting from long range, along with the 26- point effort from Quincy's Muse, accompanied by his teammate Joel Box and his 25 points and rebounds, caused UW-Parkside to fall to Quincy University in a final of 82-72. Fenderson led all the Rangers with 19 points. Kyle Clark added 15 points, and TyroneDeacon scored 12 in Saturday's contest. The Rangers will now look to regain some momentum against their next four opponents, all of which are non-conference matches. They meet up with the Saginaw Valley State Cardinals of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate _ Athletic Conference on Wednesday, Dec. 13, for their third road game within a week. Their next GLVC competition doesn't come until the Northern Kentucky Norse visit UW-Parkside on Jan. 4 of next year. How Stressed Are You?

WIPZTop5 OMS A and Sacred Circle Discuss Effects of Casinos BY ROBERT ROSATI rosatOOO@uwp.edu invited to speak to shed some light on the issue. . Skip Twarusz has Porawaromi - heritage, and members of his family have experience working in Native American casinos. Rita Altmeyer is the advisor for Scared Circle on campus. Mike Pawonicun is deeply involved wit.h !'1a~ve American tribes currently residing In Chicago. Twarusz said that the casinos on reservations help tribes immensely from. an economic standpoint, as they provide a means to acquire resources. because, initially, reservations were built in places that were not arable. An example he gave of how much the casinos help tribes get the funds they need to.survive is a tribe in South Dakota that bas tn Ira vel "80 to 100 miles roundtrip just for water," Pawonicutt admitted tbat while casinos help Native American tribes they are hurting them, as well, because tribes are building casinos on their "sacred land." He elaborated on this by saying that some casinos have been built upon the burial grounds of tribes and that the younger members of tribes that elected to have casinos on their reservations are also affected, as they want to work in the casino when they' are old enough to do so, and kids who work in the casinos then have access to drugs and alcohol. Altmeyer is of the opinion that each individual tribe should decide for itself if a casino is right for it due to the various repercussions building one will have on its people. The Union Square was the setting for an event that was cosponsored by Sacred Circle and the Office of Multicoltural Student Affairs on Nov 19. . The subject being discussed was the effects Native American casinos have io terms of both helping and burting the tribes- that have the casinos on their land.

Also, by hitting 70 percent of their free throws, the Rangers . statistically outplayed the Hawks, as Drury shot an overall 38 percent from their half-court and about 56 percent from the foul stripe.

Campus Briese's Brew * Hwy.B December 5,2006 The Ranger News 4 CONTINUE FROM FRONT PAGE One Up; One Down victory. The follow-up game on Saturday against the Drury Panthers also proved to be a tough contest for the men Rangers, as Drury also rained down heavy with the long- range shot. With a 75 percent mark from three-point range for the Panthers by making nine of 12 attempts, the Rangers couldn't match up with deep range points, only making eight of 24 attempts, four for eacb half. This helped the visiting Panthers post 63 percent in field goals compared to UW- Parkside's 48 percent. However, the Panthers almost let the game slip from their hands, as the Rangers fonght back to within one point as late as 2:46 left in the second half when starting forward La Vontay Fenderson intercepted a Panther pass and broke away into open court to slam dunk the Rangers into a 74-73 Drury over YW- Parkside score. Unfortunately, the Panthers followed up the Rangers' pressure by causing the Rangers to foul them. Drury hit four free throw shots, a lay-up, and another pair of free throws before letting UW- Parkside score again. were in favor of Drury, as they statistically outshot uw- Parkside in field goals, three- pointers, and free throws for the entire game to beat the Rangers 85-71. As for the men Rangers, the Rockhurst Hawks provided a difficult challenge before falling to UW-Parkside. Tbe Hawks were on fire from .beyond the three-point line in tbe first half, as they sank seven of II shots on the Rangers, with their sixth three-pointer coming at 5:22 to break a 24-24 tie. The Rangers Jed early in the first half with as much as a 12-point lead at 11 :56, but they saw it dissipate under the three- point assault of Rockhurst and went into halftime down 30-28. However, the Hawks' game plan backfired in the second half, as they made only one of their eight three- pointers to close out the game. The long-range shot wasn't as kind to the Rangers, as they missed all six of their three- point attempts in the first half and made only one of the fuur attempts in the last half. Rather than rely on the three for points, the Rangers stayed steady with the close-range shot to edge out the Hawks for a tight 60:54 on drawing the hard fouls to get free throw points, the Rangers went almost completely away from the three-point shot. After making four of eight three-pointers in the first half, OW-Parkside couldn't convert a single one of their three long- range attempts in the second half. Instead, the percentages after the first half, the Rangers went on the tough offensive- early in attempting to draw fouls from the visiting Panthers. However, theRangers would only go on to hit six of their 14 free throw attempts, dropping - their game percentage down to . nearly 63. .With their concentration defensive boards. The story was different for the women Rangers on Saturday, as the Drury Panthers fought their way into a 44-41 lead after the first half, but the Rangers didn't have enough to counter in the second half. With a 90 percent free throw advantage for UW-Parkside Ahh-Choo!: Are You Cold, or Do You Have One? BY CAMILLA SIMON simon026@uwp.edu lt is that time of year again. With winter approaching, many people will experience the common cold. The common cold is a mild viral infection that affects the nose and respiratory passages. At least half of all colds are caused by rhinoviruses. Rhinoviruses are the most common viral-infective agents in humans. They consist of single-stranded. non-enveloped viruses that are often associated with bronchitis. Due to the vast number of different viruses that cause the common cold, a vaccine has not been developed. Adults average two to three colds per year, while children average six tc 10, depending on age and exposure. Common symptoms of the common cold include runnylstuffy nose, sneezing, itchy/sore throat, cough, congestion, and discharge from the nose and throat. High fever is not a regular symptom of the common cold. According to www.mayoclinic. com, the best way to avojd getting a cold is reduce the risk of spreading germs. People should wash hands thoroughly and vigorously for at least 15 seconds to decrease germ production. It is also considerate to always sneeze and csugh into tissues. Thi s can decrease the risk of otber people inhaling the virus. Also, do not share glasses or utensils with affected persons. This can eliminate potential risks of spreading the virus, With more developing theories and strategies, there are many other methods that are believed to prevent getting the cold virus. Some common treatments for the cold include pain relievers, decongeslaDt nasal sprays. and cough syrups. 1bere are also mllby home remedies that may help ClIIIl or soothe the c~mon cold. Examples are gurglingwater-diluted hydrogen peroxide to soothe the throat, taking Echinacea to help boost the immune system, and breathing a steam vaporizer to help quiet a cough. The common cold may be incurable, but there are things that can be done to help those affected to feel better. Avoiding alcohol, caffeine, and cigarettes is a good idea, because they all cause dehydration. Always make sure to stay hydrated with water.juice, or tea. Make sure to get plenty of rest; this can help the body fight off the cold virus quicker. [f symptoms get worse after 10 days and if fatigue and a fever greater than 100 degrees Fahrenheit occur, then it is advisable to get checked by a medical professional. Jacobs Entertains with Heritage BY D. WHITE white041@uwp.edu Singer and songwriter Michael Jacobs entertained a small crowd in Main Place on Nov. 27. Sacred Circle president Robert Andersen said they were happy they had the opportunity to bring Jacobs back to UW-Parkside. "People in Sacred Circle are fans, he said." Andersen said Jacobs' songs are about issues that can help people. "His songs let people know they are not alone," he said. While Jacobs switched from performing with the flute to playing '::?~~!\lIl his guitar, he said he would - now start his love segment of songs. He said he wrote "Home to me" because he thought too many love songs have been written about heartbreak. He also said he wanted a song to which be and his fiance could listen together. Jacobs captivated the crowd by gently playing his guitar and singing lyrics like "you light my darkness" and "you are what no one else can be to me, home to PHOTO BY DAN TORKlLSEN me," Some of Jacobs's songs are about love, hope, heartache. and Native American issues. "People can get whatever they need from my songs," said Jacobs. Jacobs said be has performed with two full-time bands and was with a rock band from 1988-1994. He said he was raised in a state school in Minnesota and did not grow up knowing he was Native American, like many Native Americans today. "It was common for Native Americans to be taking away fromtheir families," he said. Jacobs said he discovered he was Native American accidentally, while attending a Native American powwow. He said his search for his heritage started 14 years ago, and he put his music on hold to examine his heritage. He has since found that his heritage is rooted in the Cherokee nation in Oklahoma. He said he started performing about his beritage and writing songs about Native America Life in 2001. He is currently working on his fourth CD and has received awards from the Native America Music Awards for some of his other CD's.

New Solar System few years back, the entire UW-System switched over 10 a program called Solar, The PeopleSoft company has made a new version to which the entire UW-System must to conform - Solar System v. 8.9. This upgrade is going to-take place right after the New Year before the spring semester begins. It is becoming known as a full "Solar eclipse," Jan. 4, due to the fact that the system will be shut down from the end of business and . will not be back live until Jan. 10. Since the system will not be available to staff or students, the fall semester grades are going to be available from Dec. 18 through end of business on Jan. 4, 2007; though, they all need to be completed by noon on Dec, 27. Students need to be registered by the end of December 10 ensure that they can get into the classes that they want and/or need. Students registering in Winterim courses should also be signed up by the end of December because it will be hard to add students after the process has started. The staff needs to have their Wmterim class lists printed off before the start date so that they can have the roster before the class begin s, Also affecting students in this process is the fact that financial aid refunds will not begin until Jan. 11,2007. One of the advantages of upgrading the Solar System is that it will now be more people-friendly. There will be more menu choices on the main screen than there are currently. The way that the screen looks, it will be called Self-Service with links to a Student Center. ollment, Campus Finances, rnpus Personal Information, and Academic Records. There is also going to be a place called My Favnrites. which is going to be a book marking function. "If you are using the system and find a page within Solar that you want to mark, you can click on My Favorites and save it there. Unlike book marking things to a coruplJlior. My Favorites stays with the login, according to Randy McCready, who is one of the head tecbnicians on the SoJar update.

BY TYRONE PAYTON payto004@uwp.edu Rangers outscored the Cougars 38-32 in the first half and 54-39 in the second half to make a 92- 71. final on Saturday night, with five players for UW-Parkside hit double figures in scoring. With 18 points to lead all Ranger scorers, junior guard Kayla Ming converted five of her eight three-point attempts. In an I I of 12 free-throw shooting ~accomplishment, junior Mackenzie Heise tallied 17 points to go along with her team high of seven rebounds. Teammates Ferguson and Kari Score had 15 and to points to accompany their five and six rebounds, respectively, and Allison Srnaglik Came off the bench to post 13 points and four assists in the victory over the Cougars. These two wins put the women Rangers at a 4-1 overall record. The men of UW- - Parks ide have also begun their season impressively with a 5-1 overall record. Their only loss came in an 80-69 overtime defeat against the Michigan Tech Huskies on Friday, Nov. 17. Their opponent for this past Saturday, Nov. 25, carried away a loss, as the men Rangers took down the Central State Marauders of Wilberforce, Ohio, in a 92-78 final. Taking a page from the women, the men also began their home opener by putting six Rangers into double digits. Junior guard Kyle Clark made six of his seven three-point attempts to go with his nine of 16 field goal attempts, while teammate Tyrone Deacon led the Rangers with seven assists and made 13 of 18 free throws to count as the majority of his 19 total points. The remaining double-digit scorers were Juan bread. broccoli. almonds, beans, and calcium-fortified foods sucb as orange.juice and cereal. An eight-ounce serving of plain yogurt has 415 mg of calcium (45 percent of the daily allowance), and an eight-ounce glass of skim milk has 302 mg (30 percent). Bread and" broccoli have 2-3 percent of the daily requirement. and spinacb bas 12 percent. Calcium supplements are also available for consumers. The NIH reveals tbat calcium supplements are the third highest moneymaking supplement, bringing in about $87 million in sales each year. The two most common forms of calcium supplement' are calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. Calcium carbonate is the most common and provides more calcium, but it can cause gas from its difficulty to be digested. Calcium citrate is typically less expensive and easier to digest, but 1,000 mg of citrate only has 210 mg of calcium, whereas the carbonate form has 400 mg in a 1,000 mgdose. Anyone taking or planning to take a calcium supplement should be aware that no more than 500 mg should be taken at one time, because as the amount of calcium taken increases the amount that is absorbed decreases. This includes calcium from food as well. Not enough calcium is bad, but on the other hand, too much calcium can interfere with absorption of other minerals and, rarely, Can cause kidney problems, among other things. No more than 2,500 mg of calcium a day should be ingested. The NIH recommends spreading calcium supplements and calcium-rich foods throughout the day. The UW-Parkside Men's , and Women's Basketball teams will begin their Great Lakes Valley Conference play this Thursday, Nov. 30, when they host the Rockhurst Hawks. Their second conference game . will come on Saturday, Dec. 2, as the Drury Panthers visit the DeSimone Gymnasium. Both Ranger squads come in with impressive records from early non-conference games, with the women Rangers coming off two wins this past week. The first came in a 72-54 win over the Lady Eagles of Robert Morris College' on Tuesday. Nov. 21, as the Rangers played this contest at Loyola's Gentile Center. Newly acquired senior Kari Score shot 64 percent from the field, and she hit both of her three-point attempts along with ·four of six free throws to tally 24 total points for UW- Parkside. She also pulled down 10 rebounds with five a piece for offensive and defensive boards. - Senior starter Ashley Ferguson was the only other player to break into doub1e- digit scoring, as she was 50 percent from the field en route to making l7 points. She nearly copied teammate Karl Score in rebounds, pulling down five defensive and four offensive boards to barely miss her own double-double performance with nine total rebounds. The women Rangers followed this win up with another victory on Saturday, Nov. 25, as the St. Xavier University Cougars, thel 7 rh ranked tearn in NAIA Division I, went away from Wisconsin with its first loss of the season. The UW-Parkside BY CASSANDRA WHEELER wheelO 19@uwp.edu The word calcium conjures up images of bones and tall glasses of milk, yet calcium is more Ulan these things. According 10 Tbe National Institute of Health's, office of dietary supplements Web site, calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body, . and, in addition to keeping bones and teeth strong and healthy, it is also essential for muscle contraction, cell fluid balance, hormone secretion, and nerve functioning in the body, among other things. Many Americans do not get the recommended daily dose of 1,000-1,200 mg of calcium, with the NIH-reporting that 55 percent of men .and 78 percent of women over the age of 20 fall short of this ideal. Low calcium intake can result in the bone disease osteoporosis. which reduces bone density and leaves bones fragile. Women are at a higher risk of osteoporosis, but both sexes are susceptible to the disease. The body is able to remodel bones and add mass to them only up to age 30; therefore. the more calcium bones have by this age, the slower the process of natural, age-related bone degeneration. Calcium is absorbed in the digestive tract where vitamin D aids absorption, and it is naturally excreted from the body in sweat and urine, but other things can eause further calcium loss. Alcohol interferes with absorption, and pbosphorous, found in carbonated drinks, has been linked to calcium depletion. The most common food source to contain calcium is dairy products, but these ;u:e not the only sources for calcium. Some other natural sources include sardines, tofu and other soy products, spinach, CONTINUE TO PAGE 5 Do something productive in college.

WESTBROOK westb002@uwp.edu Discussion was intense in the student senate lhi!o. week, a.',. senators debated the merits of the updated Segregated University Fees Allocation Commince's spending guidelines for student organizations. One of the most hotly contested issues of the discussion was the 35 percent of an organization's requested budget that could be used for officer stipendS. Several senators argued that the 35-percelll limit was far too high: although, according to Parkside Student Government Association President Tyson Feltes, it is the same as lail year's percentage. Senator Da\ld Wibon called the cap ··atrocious:· saying that stude.nt organization~ shoukl be able to ... pend. at mo~l. 15 percent of their budget on !Iollpcnds. Others thought II should be less.

PSGA CONTINUE unfair, as Wilson pointed out that, while an organization could not ask for more than an additional $3,000, that organizations budget could be cut by a much greater amount in a given year. Eventually, a vote was taken. The guidelines were not passed and will be sent back to SUFAC until next week. SUFAC director Louie Kirleis pointed out that not passing the guidelines that day would further limit the time that student organizations would. then have to compile their budget requests for the next year. Also, in the past week, three senators were relived of their duties; therefore, nominations were made. and 12 of the nominees accepted.

Bridging The Gap BY CAMILLA SIMON simon026@uwp.edu -to explain that many Hinong women lived in the jungle of Laos for IS years, starving, being forced to marry men who are then promiscuous. Vang'smain presentation .was entitled "Portraits of Hmong Women" She started the project two years ago in hopes of bridging present Hmong culture to its rich past. Yang began interviewing H mong women who she knew through family and"friends to hear their bicultural story. The project features 17 women, most whom are ordinary in today's society. On Monday, Nov. 13, Parkside hosted visual artist Kou Yang. She discussed intersections of ethnic and gender identity and art. Yang, a Hrnong refugee, moved to 'the United States when she was five years old. She graduated from OW-Green Bay in 1997 with a bachelor's degree in Photography and Design and a minor in Graphic Design. She got her masters in Visual Studies from Cardinal Strich University. Yang hasreceived grants . from the Ella Lyman Cabot Trust Fund, Wisconsin Art's . Board and the Institute for Race and Ethnicity for photographic documentaries on Hrnong women and Shamanism. She is also a governor-appointed. board member of the Wisconsin Humanities Council. Yang's presentation was entitled "Dualldentities: A Hmong American Woman's Experience." It focused on , Hmong women who came from Laos and who now live in the America. One section of the documentary was tilled "Infusion." The digital collage was created to demonstrate the 30 years of progress, created into one. Yang said, "1 have dedicated this piece to Hmong women who sacr:ificed their I.", •• l~'(C$l>~fpre u~,:' he'wenl 0)1" . .. ,~ . " .... " .. and a few that "are living the dream." Their ages range from 22 to 82. Some of the stories exemplified how traditional Hmong values conflict with today's society; such as in the case of marriage, divorce, bride price, children, health problems, and career goals. Some of the women were shunned by their families because they did not practice traditional Hmong beliefs about those issues. Yang updated the audience on several of the women who are now mending their broken relationships with their families. Yang said, "Even though I cannot change me past, I am giving back to women to allow them to heal." Each story includes a color photo of the women in their traditional Hmong clothing and a black and white photo of the women around their home. Yang sought to "give voice to women who should be respected and loved for who they are." Growing up in an abusive family, Yang felt helpless and now bas realized that she can justify why she is here. In her presentation, she said. "It has been too long that people haven't heard the voices of Hmong women," Since completing the project, Yang has renlized that through time, the Hmong culture is slowly evolving, and that it is important to have identity within the culture itself. ..

Jackson was confirmed to SUFAC by the senate. M' Fettes attempted to appoint ike Speiglhoff to an open seat on SUFAC.

SUFAC presented a-budget proposal to the senate which accordiagto SUFAC bylaws needed to be approved during the Nov. 11 meeting.

RT 5 RE November 14.2006 Coffeehouse Features Left-Handed Brothers BY CAMilLA SIMON simon026@uwp.edu Amidst the candle-lit tables at "Coffeehouse," soothing sounds of guitarists Mike and Tom Mangione filled Union Square on Wednesday, Nov. 8. The two brothers, who grew up in Glenview, Illinois, have been musically active since theirchildhood. Dancing, Education, and Life BY RAMON A. JAIMEZ, jaimeOO I @uwp.edu Very quickly, it becomes apparent that the prepubescent youngsters' are more knowledgeable about the world around them than most would think. They express desires for good lives, free from the crime and suffering that many of them see all around them. The children take pride in themselves and theirclassmates as they draw closer to the end of the program and the citywide dance competition. Especially notable is the lack of a narrator. The stories presented are in the words of the children, their dance instructors, teachers. parents, principals, and friends. As such, it is of extreme importance to offer proper respect to the film's editor, Sabine Krayenbtihl, for weaving the footage into such a wonderful and complete story. If the film suffers at all, it is just past the middle when the wonder of starting to learn passes and the thrill of competition has yet to set in. The. childreo find themselves equaUy excited and apprehensive about the coming competition, and as most of us are aware, the'waiting can be the worst par. of any endeavor. Yet, the excitement picks up once more as the students take everything they've' learned ,,>bout steps, attitude, and grace to the competition floor. "Mad Hot Ballroom" brings the audience into the lives of these kids and reminds anyone who had forgotten how awkward and yet enlightening , being II years old can be. Children can be brighter, more insightful, and mature than they are often given credit for. This simple truth is the crux of Marilyn Agrelo's "Mad Hot Ballroom," sbown in the Union Cinema on Wednesday. Nov. I as part of the Student Foreign Film Series. . Following three classes of 5 ID graders in New York, the film is a documentary about the city's IO-week ballroom dance program. The camera follows the action at eye level with the chi Idren and makes it easy for the audience to join the children on their journey. Playing their guitars upside down and left handed, and occasionally using a harmonica harness, they brought a unique appearance to the stage. Wednesday's repertoire of songs was performed from memory. Mike is the primary song writer and musician, while his brother Tom travels along to accompany him. Mike independently released his second album. 'There and Back." The album has entered the "eMJ" (an interactive discovery music network) top two hundred adds, WIth number sixteen in the country. Other than Alaska and Hawaii. the two have performed inevery state. The brothers perform with the purpose of paying homage to great musicians who have inspired them. including Bob Dylan, Dan Lanoi. , Wilco, and Ryan Adams. "My goal is to try and capture truth, motion, and give heart. Mike said," Tom said he perform, to "express the ineffable." One song, "Daddy's Angel," was inspired by a woman the brothers saw while on tour in New York. Although they did not personally meet her, they were moved to write a song about her. The two will continue their tour through Wisconsin, and then hit Reno. Nev.

If it were so that all,of our intentions and subsequent actions contributed positively to the betterment of humankind, without an uncharitable thought to be found or a selfish action to be judged, what an unusual state of affairs that would be. All concepts of guilt, shame, remorse, anger, revenge.jealousy, envy, and the like would be nonexistent - there would be no known circumstance to give rise to any of those ideas. In a world minus mistakes, we would be 'rid of all hostility, all hurt feelings, ..l1 issues of injustice' - all issues of oppression. We would, as well, be rid of our personal freedom. When the potential for making a mistake is present, then we genuinely exercise personal freedom, or free will, in the moment. When our choices are not guaranteed success. then we are responsible. and free, to make the choices that we feel are in our best interests and, hopefully, in the best interests of others. Freedom is a difficult thing. Mistakes seem to come in two forms. Those mistakes that arise from choices made with good intentions in mind, in which the untoward consequences are unforeseeable, are inevitable. The human condition seems to dictate that our vision of the future and the outcomes of our decisions be obscured or vague to us. If this were not so, we would be omnipotent - which we are, most assuredly, not. On the other hand, some mistakes arise from less-than good intentions. This is a different species of mistake in that the standard eight-year old kid on the street, if stopped and asked, could probably point out thatno good can come from choices arising from ill intentions. Yet these mistakes, as well, are part and parcel of the human condition - we are not particularly charitable towards one and another, for whatever reason. We, then, have a traditional status for all of us to occupy at one time or another when our mistakes become public and are deemed harmful. We have the status of Contrition. Contrition, from the Latin, Contritus, "ground to pieces." This is an apt definition for the feeling of standing publicly accountable for some less-than commendable personal decision - ground to pieces. Sincere contrition demands that we set aside pride, set aside all defensiveness and set aside the. outside hope that the public will somehow see our bad decision in a more favorable light if we just had the opportunity to explain ourselves. Sincere contrition requires that we surrender all of those ideas and freely admit, "I was wrong, and I am truly sorry for the pain I caused." The most profound thing about this life, a life in which we make mistakes everyday, is that the nature of human character rests on those very mistakes - not so much the bad decision itself, but how it is that we conduct ourselves, in our acts of contrition. It is when we take our turn occupying the status of contrition that we define precisely who we are and for what we stand. In that moment we discover whether we can genuinely be accountable for our freedom, whether we can live harmoniously with our freedom, or whether we cash it all in and just become another victim of an uncaring, unjust world, ground to pieces as it were. Clearly, we should not be surprised or dismayed that people make mistakes, of either type. However, we can, and should be surprised when a . genuine act of contrition soars above the mundane of our everyday struggle - embodying a spirit of character that requires far greater courage than we are generally able to bring about. In that moment we may be able to say that, mistakes and all, this is the best of all possible worlds. Minus a true sense of remorse though, there really may be n~ hope for any of us as Weprepare to make our next mistake. While it may not be the most applicable citation, Martin . Luther said, "God does not save people who are only fictitious sinners: Be a sinner and sin Boldly," but be genuinely accountable for your sins - not a victim. -Scott Scofield, Junior, PhilosophylHistory major UESTION Do VOU THINK VOTING IS IMPORTANT AND WHV?

The Purpose of Comics Two weeks ago, a comic published in the Ranger News titled, "The Misadventures of Swampy andLavagurl in 3D," caused much controversy. Being a cartoonist of a pretty lame comic myself, it made me think about the purpose of comics and how to know if you are crossing the line. Comics are meant to entertain people and make them laugh. Eveo though-reading an entire comic strip takes very little time, cartoonists are satifisfied knowing that for 5 whole seconds they can produce joy in a person. This is done in all different kinds of fashions from the wholesomeness of Peanuts to the often sadistic (and my personal favorite) Pearls Before Swine. Comics have also taken on an important role in enlightening people about the state of our country. Doonesbury and Mallard Fillmore discuss world issues and politics. with a humorous approach. When all else fails, the cornic section will at least come in handy when you run out of gift wrap or when you're trying to house-train a pet. But like all other types of . entertainment, certain comics have been criticized for being politically incorrect. No one probably knows this better than Aaron McGruder, the creator of the The Boondocks. McGruder's comic sparked much debate over the main character's views on politics and African- American culture. It was so controversial that newspapers often withheld its publication. I am not a fan of The Boondocks, but I can appreciate McGruder's courage to writ~ the comic for as long as he did, despite the constant backlash. So even though controversy has been found in comics for years, what was wrong with "The Misadventures of Swampy and Lavagurl in 3D"? The mistake here was that it was personal. It was used solely as an act of revenge. Although the people it spoofed were left nameless, comics should not be used to attack certain individuals (unless it's Maury Pavich or anyone else contributing to the .downfall of our society). And no one knows this better than the two guys involved with making the comic strip. Who are now suffering major-consequences because of it. So to them I say, I'm glad there are still people out there like you with the courage to cross that line. Without you, every comic would be like Family Circus: But more inaportantly, I'm glad there are people like you with the courage to admit when they've made a mistake. -Katie Zinapel Plo\l"pose: The Student Actjvities Office seeks to promote active involvement in student organizations, activities, and University governance by offering two $850 Leadership Scholarships.
