AIOS Walk Wisconsin • Kristine Hansen Staff Writer What do 15,000 walkers, Tipper Gore and a life-threatening disease have in common? AIDS WALKWISCONSIN brought all ofthese together on September 17 1995 in Milwaukee's Summerfest Grounds for a 10K (6.2 miles) walk. I myself was a walker, and as I shied past dogs that dared to escape their leashes and I read signs in remembrance of relatives, friends and co--workers, while listening to red wagons squeal, I was touched by the numbers of support. At the start of the walk, aqua, purple, and yellow ribbons dotted the sky behind the walkers as they were released, hoping to one day release the victims of AIDS. Some of the organizations AIDS WALK WISCONSIN benefitted include: Milwaukee AIDS project, Madison AIDS Support Network, Center Project Inc.-Green Bay, Southeast Wisconsin AIDS ProjectKenosha, Northwest Wisconsin AIDS Project-Eau Claire, and Wisconsin Community Based Research Consortium. The pledges that walkers received will be used for AIDS care, prevention, and research programs. Since 1990, over 2 million has been raised; including over $570,000 in 1994 alone. This year, 15,000 walkers were expected to participate. Vice-President AI Gore and his wife Tipper Gore are the Walk's Honorary Chairs .. In a press release, Tipper stated, "The Midwest is no exception-this tragic disease knows no geographic bounds and it affects us all." Tipper was on hand before the Walk at the Opening Ceremony to give participants encouraging words. Before the Walk, on Summerfest grounds, walkers were asked to register and turn in pledge forms. Face painting was available, as well as an area for making quilt panels. During the Walk, music entertainment was provided at rest stops, along with water, oranges and breads. Some of the bands playing to tired walkers were: The Casper Blues Band, Cream City Cloggers, and Mia Montenegro. Clowns entertained the walkers at several of the crosswalks, trying to thin out the crowd and avoid congestion. If you are interested in volunteering on behalf of AIDS, contact the AIDS Resource Center of WIsconsin, Inc at 1-800-359-9272. Camp Heartland, a camp for children whose lives are affected by AIDS, is looking for volunteers, also.

He understands that the payoff for education investment is on a ratio of 4-1. The Clinton Administration fought for legislation that would involve the Department of Education more in student loan programs. Because banks would lose this source of easy profits under the new plan, loans would be cheaper for students. The new Republican Majority would like to cut federal grants to students. By forcing students to take loans, Republicans would put banks back in charge of those loans with changes in interest subsidizing. The result would be higher profits for banks and greater difficulties for students. Like other students, I would love to get a doctorate without making my grandchildren payoff my debt. The Republican politicians don't care how much it costs us students. The more it costs, the more profits for the poor oppressed bankers. Banks charge higher fees and offer fewer services. They help you only if you have money. If you need help and are not wealthy a bank's favorite word is no. If "not much" is the answer to the question "what have banks done for me?," then contact Congressman Neumann's office and tell him you want the same educational opportunity that he and Speaker Gingrich had. Personal note: The Educators Credit Union has bent over backwards to help me and my family when we needed help. I want to publicly thank them and to disassociate them from my comments concerning banks.

I . understand that many clubs meet at the same time, but one would think that some lonely person-other than members of the Ranger staff, PSGA and the Administration- could possibly have made it to at least a few minutes of the meeting. That, however, was not the case. People just don't care. Legislators like Mark Neumann can rape the students because We don't vote and don't stand up for ourselves. Why is it that out of about 5000 full-time students, only 50 really care enough to do anything? From clubs like SWEA, GLO, BSU, PSGA, Latinos Unidos, and similar organizations, a few active members try to make positive changes. Most Parkside students, however, come to school.

If "not much" is the answer to the question "what have banks done for me?," then contact Congressman Neumann's office and tell him you want the same educational opportunity that he and Speaker Gingrich had. Personal note: The Educators Credit Union has bent over backwards to help me and my family when we needed help.

Also, for those of you who didn't see the signs, posters, flyers and table toppers, State Representative Jim Kreuser (D-Kenosha) was here on Monday, September 11 at noon in Union 104. I -understand that many clubs meet at the same time, but one would think that some lonely person-other than members of the Ranger staff, PSGA and the Administration- could possibly have made it to at least a few minutes of the meeting. That, however, was not the case. People just don't care. Legislators like Mark Neumann can rape the students because we don't vote and don't stand up for ourselves. Why is it that out of about 5000 full-time students, only 50 really care enough to do anything? From clubs like SWEA, GLO, BSU, PSGA, Latinos Unidos, and similar organizations, a few active members try to make positive changes. Most Parkside students, however, come to school. Here they complain about tuition, food prices, student aid, course selection, and University and state policies. After attending class, they go to a party or to a job. Then they go home. If we all spent just a little less time complaining and a little more time doing, we just might have less to complain about. If you have questions about how to do more for the campus, go to the Ranger office, the PSGA office (WYLL D139A), Union 209, or any club meeting.

Lorenz is originally from Southern California and completed his undergraduate studies and Masters degree at California State University-Long Beach. He then moved to the midwest where he received his Ph.D. from Indiana University.

The theme here is evil. Mindless, droning, unrelenting evil. Heavy on drums and bass with vocals that range from a quaalude-induced grumble to a speed freak's rap, the sound of Zombie aims at bone shattering. Lyrically, the songs are a mishmash of Satanism, nihilism, slasher flick and post-apocalyptic vision. What are they about? Essentially nothing more than shock. By deleting the odd use of f"*k here and there, there is no doubt that the CD could lose the parental advisory, even though the songs would lose none of their intensity or shock value. But then, in the '90s, image rules over content. And that is what White Zombie is all about. A triumph of image over content. They are the latest stage in metal evolution. A merging of industrial style patterns with the instrumentation of the early days of metal. Ministry meets Metallica doing a cover of Black Sabbath. One note, one style, milked for all it's worth. There are little interludes between each song: moody dialogue samples, carnival music, horror show theme songs and the like.

Or they could be seen as attempts to keep the listener from noticing that this CD could just as easily been released as one very long song. Astra-Creep: 2000 is the ultimate car wreck; and that is what it aspires to be. Astra-Creep: 2000 is an accident begging you to look at it, a terror play rock opera, the '90s version of Tommy, where, instead of transcendence, all the players are freaks working hard to drag you down with them. ' GETTING BACK TO NATURE °Derek Bishop Staff Writer Similar to the sightings of "Big Foot" and other mystical creatures, the University of WisconsinParkside authorities were notified on Monday, September 11 of a naked body in the woods, which had been sighted along the first trail by the Pike River, located across from the Parkside dormitories. Police Chief Robert Dean said that they received a call from a woman who lives in the area that "a neighborhood kid claimed to have seen a naked body in the woods. When we arrived on the scene, she pointed out the area on a map where the body would possibly be located. But when we investigated the scene, there was no naked body to be found." The University Police then learned that the "neighborhood kid" was actually her own son, who is a Parkside student: After locating the acclaimed "sighter" on the Parkside campus, the police transported the student back to the area where he had seen the body. "We were informed that the nearly naked body was a Caucasian male who was only wearing a white T-shirt," added Dean. Maybe it was just a guy trying to get that natural tan or just an innocent prank or perhaps the reason will remain a mystery. IN THE DARK?

CD Review Alanis Morissette Jagged Little Pill • TyWilda Entertainment Editor .The sweet morning song of a hummingbird just before a steamroller makes it a permanent part of the earth. Delicate ice sculptures about to be showered in boiling oil. Exquisite blown glass sculptures in the hands of a gorilla. These are the sorts of beauties superimposed on by impending doom that best 'capture the spirit of Alanis , Morrissette's debut release Jagged Little Pill. Lyrically and melodically, no matter how sweet she tries to sound there is a trace of the sinister underlying all the music on this disc. Every pretty note she hits is matched by a growl or soured by the words she's singing. Her voice is unable to sustain a high note without developing into a vicious audio sneer at the end. This is a disc of cynicism, loss, despair and anger. A song like "Perfect," sounds like a child's lullaby, until you listen closely to lines like "That simply wasn't good -, enough/To make us proud." "YouLearn" is an epistle to learning things the hard '''ay, by experiencing the worst life has to offer. The first, single "You Ought To Know," made men afraid and women cheer for the angered, embittered singer as she ripped apart the man who left her. Its follow up, "Hand In My Pocket," lacks that intensity, but hooks with its ambiguous quality of sorrow instead. Unfortunately, this style can really fall flat at times. Sometimes, she seems to drift into the arena.of the bad heavy metal ballad, and when she attempts to sing the sweet song without anger, she fails miserably. Alanis Morissette is a grown up and nasty version of all those sweet little alternative girls, Juliana Hatfield after she got dumped real hard, Sarah McLaughlin in hell, Sheryl Crow after you take away her Prozac. As long as she holds on to that anger and uses it, she has you cornered; until she falls into the trap of sounding the way girl singers are "supposed" to sound, snu keeps yuu captured.

I have this recurring nightmare in which Courtney Cox is holding headphones tightly to my ears and forcing me to listen to the much too cheery and chirpy theme from Friends over and over again. Or worse, the stack of love and relationship songs from the Rembrandts' full length CD, LP. The Rembrandts play an overly earnest brand of infectious pop that tries to show a faux blues-rock influence, but seems straight from the pen of post-Beatle's Paul McCartney. They sing along in sweet harmonies in the same sort of pop style that Squeeze was big on in the '80s. Pure and basic ear candy. Hook, riff, chorus by formula with just enough edge to seem like serious rockers, but not enough to threaten. They're slickly produced, competent musicians with little to say and an audience just waiting to hear it. The duo of Phil Solem and Danny Wilde form the Rembrandts. Their voices are an interchangeable blend of slightly nasal harmony with gentle tempo acoustic and acoustic sounding electric guitar backgrounds. They effortlessly glide through a seemingly unending set of love songs with ~ titles like "Lovin' Me Insane," "As Long As I Am Breathing" and "Drowning In Your Tears." Perfect little pop songs. In a somewhat odd marketing angle, the duo doesn't list their big song "I'll Be There For You (Theme From Friends)" on the CD. Never fear, though, it truly is on there as one of those very clever unlisted bonus tracks at the end of the regular tracks.

KING Sly Stallone Heat and Humidity Hurt Cross Country • AI Heppner Sports Editor Some like it hot.' The men's cross country team doesn't. As the temperatures soared into the mid-80's at the 16th Annual Midwest Collegiate Open on the Parkside Cross Country Course, the Ranger's performances fell. "The heat affected us very badly," said Coach Lucian Rosa. "Our top runner didn't even ·breSk 28 minutes and we are a lot better than that." The team actually started out very strong. Andy Sarnow, 'Dave Sheriff and Brian Borkowski all went through the mile marker under 5:25. However, ~oon afterward, the sunny skies began to wear down Parkside Runners and probably assisted teams from the South. "Our top two runners and three of our top seven dropped out," added Rosa. . In all, only 12 out of Parkside's 17 starters finished the race. But Parkside wasn't the only team affected by the "heat. The body count totaled over 50 runners and a couple of them needed an ambulance escort off the course. In addi- . tion, at least a half dozen runners had to be hurdled because they lay in pain or throwing up. The warmth wasn't the only obstacle the Rangers faced. Just after the three-mile mark, a runner stepped on Brian Borkowski's shoe and Bark was forced to leave it on the course as he hobbled to the finish line. After the race, Bark proclaimed himself "The Shoeless Wonder." In addition, freshman sensation Marshall Donnerbauer and Jason Hrdina were still under the weather. Hrdina is expected back for next week's UWWhitewater meet, but Donnerbauer may be out for a while, But not all was bad for Parkside. Dave Sheriff, last year's number seven runner, was the top Ranger finisher on Saturday and already has run close to his personal best time. He attributed his dramatic improvement to "summer pounding." The number two and three runners for Parkside, Radobickey and Sean Burwell are both improving freshman and kept the Ranger's team score respectable (l7th out of 33 teams). . "We have to bounce back and run better at UW-Whitewater," said Rosa. Whether the Cross County team bounces back or not, at least we know the heat won't be a problem for long. Andy Sarnow (left) and Dave Sheriff led all Parkside runners early in the race. Midwest Collegiate Open Parkside 8 km results: 74. Dave Sheriff 28:10 82. Bernie Radobickey 28:19 104.

The format of the tournament was to play five players and count the lowest four scores. Kopp led the Rangers with a fine round of 74 but was disappointed afterward. "1 made 5 birdies during the round, but 1 also had 5 bogies and a double (bogey)," stated Kopp. "I thought the greens rolled really smooth and we're about twenty times better than our practice course (Johnson Park)." Freshman Jason Vanacker, in his first appearance as a Ranger, shot a solid 79, . while Scott Anthes fired an 81. Heit shot an 83, while junior 'Ibm Gentz rounded out the scoring with an 88. When asked about the course, Heitreplied, "It was a very fair test of golf; a lot better than the courses we practice on. We didn't play very well as a team, but we didn't finish that far off of the lead. If we could all pull our heads out and play decent, we might be able to win." Coach Shirer thought the team played well as a whole. "Kopp could have won the meet. He finished tied for 5th. He had a few 3-putts, but played very well. Jason Vanacker played well in his first meet as a freshman. I know the rest of the team can play better. Scott and Brent played poorly on the front nine, but recovered nicely on the back.

This is the first year Kealty will be coaching the Rangers, but he has had experience with the Milwaukee School of Engineering for the past 3 years. There are estimated to be 100 games played in the upcoming season. The Rangers are looking for more help in the pitching department with an addition of a manager and statistician. "There are a number of students who are practicing everyday, but there's a need for more before the season opening on March 16. It's hard to say how the team will fare, but we do have some key returning players. Last year, the team was pretty successful and played pretty tough", stated Kealty.

Pulling away from UW-P's AI Heppner and Cedarville's Chad Eder at the two mile mark, Seaman cruised to victory in a time of 20:39, which broke his own record by nine seconds. He became the first-ever Parkside Athlete to four-peat. Taking a closer look at Seaman's Parkside career show some amazing accomplishments. An All-Conference soccer player in high school, Seaman originally 'came to Parkside to play two sports. However, his tremendous success in track and field persuaded him to narrow his focus. He won the U.S.A. Junior National title twice and established American Junior records at the 5 km, 10 km, and 20 km distances after his freshman year. In addition to his four NAIA titles, Seaman also won the National Collegiate Walking Alliance (NCWA)20 km title in 1993. At the 1993 Olympic Festival in San Antonio, he took the silver.

Women's Soccer Wins ) o Derek Bishop Staff Writer The abuse continued with the Parkside Women's Soccer team claiming the cup of triumph by winning the joust over the Bellarmine Lady Knights. The only goal of the game was scored by Natalie Weber from a cross from Tracey Rosiak at the 47:13 mark. "It was a good win, as it was our second conference win. The team played tougher then yesterday by stepping up in their abilities", said head coach Barb Singer. But don't let the low score fool you, the Lady Knights had four players placed on the injured list during the competition. Erin Dessert of the Lady Knights fell victim to Parkside's "shake and tumble" playing by slowly walking away with a fractured wrist. About the flawless weekend, sophomore Jill Litkowski said, "When we're on, we're on. When we're off, we're off," Men's Soccer Wins in Overtime o Derek Bishop Staff Writer The Parkside Men's Soccer team displayed their skills in over time, with a win over the Bellarmine Knights 2-1. The first half had junior Matt Sheahan signing a score sheet with a.head shot at the 29:26 mark that was assisted by Patrick White. Parkside had the advantage coming into the second half, but it was Bellarmine who came back with a bizarre shot from Steve Wulkopf at 59:30. The highly unusual score caused the crowd of fans to stir as the very unorthodox shot that somehow got past goalkeeper Mike Guzaski and a couple of Parkside players who tried to kick the ball out of play but just could not do it. Parkside had a try at finishing .the Knights as sophomore Steven Goal made a terrific shot but the officials ruled it a handball. The time was running out and the score was tied but the damage had been done to send it into the extend session. S.F over Detroit Houston over Cincinnati NY.

Patrick White, the undisputed triple scorer from the Kentucky Wesleyan game connected on a 40 foot-shot. The second of the 15- minute, OT halves were history. "We played well earlier in the game but wejust could not finish the game. It was a tough win, especially when it's a back to back game situation; said assistant coach Chris Sagar. Sure, the Rams are 3-0 but now they're playing a real football team. Bear kicker Kevin Butler may decide this game at the end.

The team played tougher then yesterday by stepping up in their abilities", said head coach Barb Singer. But don't let the low score fo_ol you, the Lady Knights had four players placed on the injured list during the competition. Erin Dessert of the Lady Knights fell victim to Parkside's "shake and tumble" playing by slowly walking away with a fractured wrist. About the flawless weekend, sophomore Jill Litkowski said, "When we're on, we're on. When we're off, we're off."

The Rams are looking for their first winning season since 1989, but they can't play an expansion team every week. Washington over Tampa Bay • Derek Bishop Staff Writer The Parkside Men's Soccer team displayed their skills in over time, with a win over the Bellarmine Knights 2-1. The first half had junior Matt Sheahan signing a score sheet with a head shot at the 29:26 mark that was assisted by Patrick White. Parkside had the advantage coming into the second half, but it was Bellarmine who came back with a bizarre shot from Steve Wulkopf at 59:30. The highly unusual score caused the crowd of fans to stir as the very unorthodox shot that somehow got past goalkeeper Mike Guzaski and a couple of Parkside players who tried to kick the ball out of play but just could not do it. It was Parkside who threw the knockout punch in the first 15 minute 'half at 112:25 from who else, White. Patrick White, the undisputed triple scorer from the Kentucky Wesleyan game connected on a 40 foot-shot. The second of the 15- minute, OT halves were history. Parkside had a try at finishing _the Knights as sophomore Steven Goal made a terrific shot but the officials ruled it a handball. The time was running out and the score was tied but the damage had been done to send it into the extend session. ''We played well earlier in the game but we just could not finish the game. It was a tough win, especially when it's a back to back game situation," said assistant coach Chris Sagar. Sure, the Rams are 3-0 but now they're playing a real football team. Bear kicker Kevin Butler may decide this game at the end. Washington over Tampa Bay: Redskins offense will blow by Tampa's defense. Minnesota over Pittsburgh: The Vikings always seem to do well against the good teams. Pitt mourns the loss of Woodson. San Diego over Denver: John Elway is due for a fall. Against the Chargers, Elway will fall into the waiting arms of Junior Seau. Hans' Picks: 9-5 (.643) After a heart-wrenching, last second defeat to the comeback king last week, the improving 'Skins get a breather against listless Tampa Bay. Big contract or not, Shuler stays on the sideline (even after he recovers from his' injury), and Gus Frerotte becomes big-name quarterback by the end of the season. Pittsburgh over Minnesota The Vikings defense was almost perfect for three quarters against the Cowboys, but it's the Steelers big front seven that dominate this one.

Roseann Mason • Pamela Bradshaw NewsEditor Roseann Mason describes what she does as tilln~s that "just feel like they re my job." However, those "things" earned Mason the Academic Staff Distinguished Service Award. Mason enjoys making connections between dif- ferent parts of the Parkside and with the community, where "con- nections aren't there nat- urally. " Currently Mason is the coordinator of both the Writing and Tutoring Centers. She has worked to develop the programs so that they would "have some continuity for stu- dents." She feels that the Writing and Tutoring cen- ters playa "middle role between student and teacher." It meant a lot to Mason that the student who nom- inated her for the award was one of the writing assistants in the Writing center. Mason notes that many of the people who come in for assistance at the centers later work there as tutors. Another pro/'ect Mason has been invo ved with is using a grant from the Wisconsm Humanities Council to have Parkside faculty teach classes at the Racine Correctional Institution. "Most of the faculty who were involved were quite impressed and amazed at the interest level and the enthusiasm of the inmates," Mason said. "That connection ... really serves one of the missions of the university, to serve the community." PSG A Needs Justices • Kristine Hansen News Writer Do you have a 2.0 GPA? Are you enrolled in at least six non-audit cred- its this semester? Are you free Fridays at noon? If you answered yes to all of the above inquires, Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) has a justice job for you. Apply at the Senate office today for a stab at justice. Four positions are available. PSGAneeds Justices available Fridays at noon in CART129. Justices make rulings on the constitu- tionality of Senate actions. Like Washington, Parks ide operates an Executive Branch, a Judicial Branch and a Legislative Branch (Student Senate). "The President of PSGAappoints jus- tices. Then they are approved by the Senate and then by the Chancellor," states Ty Wilda. Wilda was appointed by Tom Richie, PSGAPresident, at the end of last year and is now waiting for the Chancellor's approval. The waiting has caused Wilda to doubt whether be wants tills potential PSGAposition, as he was a Senator for one and a half years. The other appointee, Mike Bovee is waiting for Chancellor approval also. Wendy Paul and Matt Stephan obtained Chancellor approval. Stephan, howev- er, is the only justice, because Paul resigned. "The majority of justices, including Chief Justices, have graduated," In Mason's 090 English class this semester, she is having students use e-mailto write to students at Northeastern Univer- sity in Boston for feedback on their essays. The theme students will be working on is the culture of school. "I think the students might resist it a little ...but .. .I think it will give them a broader sense of our country at least." Roseann Mason accepts the award from Chancellor Eleanor Smith ~ - explains Teri Jacobson, senator of PSGA and Chair of $UFAC. Jason Beyer and Iohn Lovell, two of last year's justices, have graduated. PSGAneeds fresh voices to add to our government.

Nowhere • Barb Churchill Rangercolumnist What is to become of Voyager? The second season has begun after a truncated first season of only 16 episodes, but the show so far leaves me cold. I have taken an informal poll of my friends (die-hard Trekkers), and all agree that serious changes must be made. Part of the problem is that some of the characters' reac- tions are not believable because there has been little character development. Case in point: Harry Kim. In the "pleasure seeker episode," Kim didn't seem to know that an attractive young lady was hitting on him. Now, I'm sorry, but naive or not, most guys wilI notice when a girl is interested, much less actually hitting on them, so this was not credible. Some stories have been copy- ing too many of the original Star Trek episodes. The Voyager ep,isode "Faces," in which B Elanna Torres (chief engi- neer) gets split into her compo- nent human and Klingon parts, reminded me of "The Enemy Within." This was one of the best classic "original" Star Trek shows. In "The Enemy Within," Kirk is split into his component "halves" (good and evil) via transporter accident, and learns through the episode that he needs both halves of himself to survive. Without both halves, Kirk found that he wasn't a "whole" man. In "Faces," Torres learns through the episode that she needs both halves of herself to survive-s-just as Jim Kirk did. This story, while still good, is hardly original. Unfortunately, most of Voyagers shows don't do even this well on the origi- nality scale! Also, I have a real problem with Captain Kathryn Janeway. She seems to have a very incomplete, and at times even schizoid, personality. Most of the time, Janeway fails to pro- ject a commanding presence. Once again, the "pleasure seek- er" episode rears its ugly head. Man, this episode really had its problems! During this episode, Janeway was Far too indecisive with the "pleasure seeker" com- mander, mainly because she seemed attracted to him. Would this have ever happened to Jim Kirk? He would have charmed the "pleasure seeker" comman- der into giving up the technolo- gy! Sometimes, "love 'em and leave 'em" has its advantages. This leaves the decision to forcibly acquire the technology remember, Voyager does want to get home to the Alpha Quadrant in this lifetime to Tuvok, B'Elanna Torres, and Ensign Seska. In other words, they have the initiative that Captain Janeway lacked. When Janeway finds out that they did this, behind her back no less, she dresses down Torres, as any gOOd Captain would. However, her characterization fails when she plaintively wails to Tuvok, "I thought that you were my friend!" I don't know of any captain that would do this, ever I A captain might say instead, . "You're my friend and you do this? What kind of friend are you, anyway? Don't you EVER do' that again, or I'll throw you out' an airlock!" I On Voyager, the producers l wished to prevent the perceived mistakes of Star Trek: Deep . Space Nine, and avoid going for !i "in-depth character studies," ~ opting instead for "action- . adventure." It shows. Please, \~ Voyager, get some character development soon, before it's too' late! Otherwise, only dyed-in- . the-wool Trekkers will continue l r to watch, the ratings will fall, ' and Voyager will never live up Ie to the promise that it has tanta- II lizingly held out. II ~ Video Review Pulp Fiction • Ty Wilda Entertainment Editor Quentin Tarantino's breakthrough film, Pulp Fiction, will be released on home video this week and so it is time to take a look back at what made it such a talked about movie. Pulp Fiction begins and ends with a restaurant rob- bery. Between that there's the performance of a paid killing, a boxer's death a heroin overdose, a homo- sexual gang rape, a sense- less and silly accidental shooting death and the semi-literate philosophical ramblings of John Travolta as Vincent Vega. Not nec- essarily in that order. All this violence and more occurs in a time-shifting plot sequence that camofIages the fact that the film is truly more of an anthology than a full length feature. what Pulp is truly, is a tribute of sorts to the old gangster films of the '40s It is brutally violent and' non-stop. From the ram- bling debates of Jules and Vincent (Samuel L. Jackson and John Travolta in capti- vating contrast to each other) to the desperation of the boxer, Butch (Bruce Willis) to the formal effi- ciency of Mr. Wolffe (Harvey Keitel) there is a sense that these characters are caught in a world out of their control and just try- mg to hang on. The world of this movie is an unreal place, driven by coinci- dence and luck, a world where everyone is a bad guy just doing what it takes to get to ,some sort of redemption, Some criticized the movie for its violent content. Yes, it does have a high body count and an air of sense- lessness. But rather than a glorification of violence it is merely a portrayal of it. The humor m the film is black and inappropriate. It u IS nervous laughter and shock. Not the cartoon vio- lence of the standard action flick, but a violence that gets its impact from bemg nasty and unbeliev- able. In the end, Pulp Fiction is film noir for the 90's. A send up of gangster movies, 1970s drug and blaxploitation films and even today's action hero. A hard hitting, no holds barred adventure that hides meaning in the meaningless and is real through unreality. rpCillIFicflonTfiVia =====~.~ Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

E ews September 7, 1995 • page} MeetYour New Vice Chancellor b y Pamela Bradshaw News Editor Out of a field of five, John M. Ostheimer was chosen as UW-Parkside's new provost/vice chancellor. Ostheimer began working at the end of June and has been using the summer to "get the hang of what UW-Parkside is all about." During the interview, Ostheimer commented positively on what he has seen of UW-Parkside. "My impression is that there is a tremendous amount of good activity going on, a lot of potential. It's a very exciting part of the C()\!lItq a n d this is a wonderful campus." In the future, Ostheimer sees a challenge for Parks ide, citing the decreasing budget for the university "I think that the main thing now is to decide what this campus is going to focus on, what the main mission of this place is going to be." Ostheimer feels that now isn't a good time for devising programs many new many new or hiring people. Instead, he suggests looking at the programs Parks ide currently has and finding where the strong points are. He describes his role as, "serving to stimulate thinking [and] action based on that thinking," and hopes to speak with faculty, staff and students who, "have m o r.e perspective on things, because of experience," to determine Parkside's strong points. Ostheimer also cited the importance of the connections between Parks ide and the community, "We need to express more effecti v eIy what the relationship between the university and the community really is." "This campus is highly accessible to Racine and Kenosha," he emphasized, despite the Image of isolation the campus may present by being surrounded by woodland. Many of the ties already exist between the community and university and the real challenge may be to "strengthen the image of accessibility, to make it closer to the reality." Did you know ...

Budget Cuts Change Nursing Program y Pamela Bradshaw ews Editor This semester there will be a new face in the consortial nursing program. Alma Renish, Assistant to the Dean for Health-Related Professions, will be taking over t h e advising of the pre-nursing students. Ann Boy le , the p r 0- gram's previous advisor, retired in early August. Because of budget induced changes In staffing, UW-Milwaukee had decided that upon Ann Boyle's retirement they would not restaff the position. Lacking the funds for even a part-time advisor! counselur, Parkslde shifted the responsibilities to Renish. "It was a logical choice of someone who is already doing advising in the health area," Renish commented, when asked how she was chosen. In total, Renish will have at least 380 students to advise. The nursing students enrolled r n the clinical portion of the program, about 90 students, will be advised by Nancy Buffum, the Nursing Lab Coordinator. Renish has been advising the pre-health students; those interested in physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical technician, medicine, dentistry or Alma Renish (right) advises Colette Eckert. o the r he a It hoc cup at io n s . "I am only their academic advisor until they declare a major," she explained. Afterwards she continues as their professional a d v iso r. Even though, advisors from UW-Milwaukee will be coming to assist d u ri n g freshman orientation and other "crunch times," Renish feels that "some of the things enjoy much may have los t." Renish has been a covery to be coordinator of the science competition and active in the Woman in Science program. Duties she had for the school have already been reassigned. However, she has been resisting a further reduction r n her teaching load. "I, as a person, need to be in a classroom environment. And I need to be keeping up with what is going on in biology at the current time. If I go totally into advising I think I will lose that. ... As long as I can be involved with teaching ... then it's more satisfying to me." The change in advising has also brought change in how students are admitted to the program. Instead of enrolling in UW-Milwaukee, students wil l be enrolled at Parkside and change to UW Mil' ....n ukee only after being accepted into clinicals.

An additional six months of supervised student teaching is required. The program targets minority members as well as white males due to their underrepresentali on in the elementary schools, where children need more role models from these populations.

"Wh c n we heard it was approved, we all gave: o n e big sigh of relief." said Charles Murphy, p r oj e c t d ir e ctOT. "Its a very critical program for us and without it, the difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition makes it very difficult to recruit students from across the boarder," Murphy said t h a t an Illinois student paying out-of-state rates pays almost three times the amount that an in-state resident pays to attend UW- Parks ide each semester. A full time residential student pays an estimated $1,203.25 per semester while a nonresidential student pays an estimated $3,770.75 per semester. "This is the singlemost important program in our recruitment process and it would be very damaging without itt" said Murphy. "We would have lost a lot of students. " The $30 billion state budget approved by the State Legislature in July will extend the program for two years before needing another legislation authorization. The program provides up to 200 Illinois students exemption from non-resident tuition fees. Scholarship recipients will pay the 'arne tuition as a llli n oi s r nstate resident. Scholarship recipients who also enroll each semester full-time or part-time as a degree-seeking student, demonstrate satisfactory progress and maintain good academic standing at UW- Parkside will be eligible for continuation of their scholarship, including summer sessions. for the next two years. The Wisconsin Stale Assembly and Senate adopted the recommendation of the Joinl Finance Committee, which inserted the measure into the state budget after it was not proposed by Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson. In the proposed state budget or Bill ABI50, reauthorization of the TAP program after the 1995 summer session was not included. UWParkside stood to lose an estimated $700,000 if those 200 I l l in o is students did not attend the university during the 1995- 97 academic years. §eature September 7, 1995 - page 5 Ranger News strives for excellence b y April Schoenberg Feature Editor Expect this year's Ru n g e r News to be an award-winner.

These albums are all "new alternative," which is characterized differently than "old alternative" mainly because it holds out some hope for the future (even if it's not very much). Live's "White Discussion" is a case in point. The song is a driving, pulsating mass of discontent and discord, yet there are underlying positive threads. "I talk of freedom ... I talk of r c vo iut io n ," s t af e s one line. This generation is more integrated than the old one. We can hardly understand what the older generation is talking about. And in Live's song, that is a good thing, because it means that we have made progress. Another song that like very much is Mad Season's "I Don't Know Anything." Despite the fact that "the teacher put the ruler down, on my hand ... ", the singer rose above that, rejecting violence. The singer doesn't know what he's learned, or how to correct things, but knows that he's going to try anyway. Other songs of note include Bush's "Little Things," Soul Asylum's "Misery", and Live's "Lightning Crashes." "Little Things" is a biting satire about everything going right, yet "the lillie things kill." "Misery" shows a new generation that misery loves company, and that people can bring you down by just existing. In "Lightning Crashes" people have lillie control over their own lives. Consequently, we should make the most of the few positive moments we are granted. We probably won't have many of them. How cheery. This "new alternative" sound plays pretty much like the old one, with altered chords, semi-tonal melodies, and pulsating rhythms that drive the songs to artistic completion. If you like songs that are downbeat but have pOSIt iv e messages, give the ab o v e albums a try. You might like them. -J!\- PACK th{!

Da'BEARS{iJ eUNtVElL~ITYDININGSERVICES CD Review PJ Harvey, To Bring You My Love by Ty Wilda Entertainment Editor A menacing bass line and slight accentuation by organ and guitar are all that accompany Polly Jean Harvey's powerful voice on the title track that opens this CD. She pours out a wail of obsessive love that needs no o v e r p o wering instrumentation to get through to you. So it is with the rest of the tracks. A barren style of songwriting depending mostly on the slightly distorted, edgy moan of Harvey, with the rest of the band providing exclamation p o inr s where needed. To Bring You My Love explores the dark side of love and of womanhood. While not known as being an up band in the first place, PJ Harvey stakes out new dark territory here. Obsess iv e love, unbearable need, unwanted consequences, and memories and h is t o r ie s that haunt are the themes here. Even the pseudo dance hit "Down By The Water" talks of lost daughters and lost loves. "C'mon Billy" is a plea for the r e t u r n of such a lost love, at least to meet his left behind child. The t it l e track and "Send His Love To Me" address the lengths one will go to for love. All of this is done brilliantly through spare instrumentation and the tightly controlled voice of Harvey. She stands out in the music, seemingly walking alone with her thoughts, her voice just reaching the edg.e of anger, but never quite exploding into it. This is challenging music thematically and instrumentally. It works.

TV Nation hits Milwaukee by Joe Kane Entertainment Editor Described as "kamikaze 60 Minutes" and the left wing's answer to Rush Limbaugh, TV Nation rolled into Milwaukee on August 10. One of TV Nation's most popular representatives, Crackers-the Corporate Crime Fighting Chicken-made a stop in Milwaukee as part of a nationwide to u r , TV Nation is a Fox Network program which airs Fridays at 7 p.m. The show is hosted by Michael Mo o r e , perhaps best known for his scathing film documentary on the closing of the General MOIOrs plant in his home lawn of Flint, Michigan, Roger & Me. "If the police are the thin blue line between you and street crime, than I am the thin yellow line between you and corporate crime!" shouted Crackers to t h e cheering crowd of over 300 who had gathered at Milwaukee's City Hall. Citing statistics that street crime accounts for some $5 billion annually in the U,S. while corporate crime in the nation accounts for over $200 billion in losses every year, Crackers and TV Nation's producers were in Milwaukee to accept tips from citizens on examples of crimes committed by corporate America. Examples might include pollution of air, land and water, union busting, or accepting huge tax breaks only to layoff workers they promised to p r o t e c t , One of the show's producer's, Tia Lessin, stated that the crime shows currently airing focus exclusively on street crime (Cops, America's Most Wanted) which has a c t u a l l y been on the decline for 3-5 years while c o m p l e t e l y ignoring the pervasive and growing problem of corporate criminals. Crackers, for example, targeted t h e exorbitant fees charged by Philadelphia banks for bounced checks-the highest fees in the nation. Thanks to Crackers, Pennsylvania State Re p r e s e n t a t i v e Babette J 0 s e phs will be in t r 0- ducing the Fair Checking and Savings Account Fees Act to the Pennsylvania legislature this fall. A few of TV Nation's other recent segments include hiring the Manhattan's Gay Men's Choir to sing love songs outside Sen. Jesse Helms' Washington office; taking a half dozen representatives of the Michigan Militia to the carnival and getting t h e m sing (among other things) "Kumbaya," and "What the World Needs Now (is Love, Sweet Love);" taking their cameras to a Newt Gingrich fund-raiser in his home c o u n t y of Cobb, a Kane meets Crackers the Crime-Fighting Chicken Georgia and asking an 1i-g 0 v ern men t G ingrich supporters why, if they oppose government "intervention" in their lives so much, did the Cobb County residents accept more than $4 billion of federal money in 1994.

This is the first math club column of the year and as such let's explain why it'S here. Mathematics is reallllily cool, but sometimes that's hard to see that when most people only get to sec rh e algebra and other icky areas of math. Mathemalics includes geometry, logic, proving donuts and coffee cups are the same, and any number of fun diversions and puzzles. Rubik's cubes, mindreading tr(cks, and numerology are also really just mathemalics. Anyway the real purposes of this column are to ad vertise for the math club, give puzzles and contests to interested students, and generally a c t as good PR for us mathematicians. The Math Club (a chapter of Pi Mu Epsilon) is for students of all majors (not just math or physics) and backgrounds who are interested in mathematical studies, ideas and games. Meetings will occur throughout the semester so stay tuned. For this week we have 2 puzzles, next week there will be more.

Answers on p. 14 a Video Review by Ty Wilda Entertainment Editor In Scotland, at the top of a Winding staircase, live three pretentious young friends in search of a roommate for their flat. What happens when their next home companion turns out to be a corpse with a suitcase full of money? This isn't t h e plot for MTV's next season of The Real World. Ralher, it's the premise of Danny Boyle's 1995 film, Shallow Grave. This movie is about brutality. II begins with the three flat mates Alex, David and Juliet b c Shallow Grave (Ewan McGregor, Kerry Fox and Christopher Eccleston) p u t t in g housing c a n d id a t e s through a grueling s e t of interviews in which they seek to confuse, embarrass and ridicule anyone foolish enough to think they are worthy of living in the house. It is never clear whether they are doing this out of spite or fun. What is clear, however, is that the trio is comp l e t e l y unlikeable. Suddenly, someone is accepted. Hugo, a mysterious stranger walks in, pays the rent, eats dinner with them once and, just as suddenly as he appeared, dies. He leaves behind a suitcase full of money, a drug stash and his now lifeless body. What follows is a descent into paranoia and violence as the trio deal with this new complication and discover that their bonds of friendship are not as strong as once thought. The main characters are slick, yet flat. Juliet is the party girl by night, doctor by day who suddenly becomes cold and calculating at the prospect of these riches. The nerdy accountant, David. breaks down into madn e s s from the stress of the situation. And Alex, the stereotypical loudmouth drunk Scotsman transforms into the tortures trying to track the money down. These clever hero by the scenes are cut in as film's climax.

That IS, Shannon Faulkner was admitted (finally) to the Citadel, but lasted less than a week before dropping out because th e physical nature of the course work drills in 90 degree heat, etc.) was too much for her. Admittedly, marching, physical training, drills, etc. in high heat is difficult for anyone. But, after championing herself as a stalwart feminist, it seems strange that Faulkner would quit so easily. As someone who works a 40-hr-week with a highly physical job (stocking shelves at a local market), it irritates me that she didn't try harder. Faulkner won her court battle, but she couldn't do it "on the field." Yet most feminists didn't blame her, saying, "Lt t s good that she tried." Banana mush. Not every woman is a quitter. Women are capable of doing physically difficult work, even if Faulkner isn't. She makes the next woman's task even more difficult. As a woman, I am ashamed of her. Here at Parkside, the overall tuition bill didn't go up much, so you're probably waiting for a retraction in this column. Don't hold your breath. The majority of the tuition increase kicks in next year, perhaps so graduating seniors can get out now while they still can afford to finish their coursework. We students are waiting for the anesthetic to wear off, before the pain kicks in. Expect the pain to be considerable. Don't say [ didn't warn you! The federal government is still trying to gut financial aid, but they haven't succeeded yet. If you haven't called your congressrn an or representatives yet to complain about the forthcoming lack of funds, do it soon. On the Wi s c o n s in front, the legislature succeeded in reconstituting the TAP program by finding available funds to continue the program. As far as I know, Tommy Thompson did NOT exercise his line-item veto on this provision, so the TAP program will stand for the time being. Keep up the pressure, folks, because it worked last time! Anyway, from time to time I'll comment on life, the world, and Parks ide in general, so look for me here every few weeks. ---..-----------=--c::-:----------- Letter to the Editor To the Editor: On July 21, Representative Mark Neumann had the opportunity, in his committee, to vole on the Solomon Amendment, or the "c a m p u s gag rule."

Curious about how Representati v e Neumann voted, I called his Kenosha office on Tuesday July 25. His office said that they did not know, but that they would get back to me. waited patiently until August 4, when I found out that the Solomon Amendment had been voted upon on the floor. Once again I called his office to ask how he had voted. Again they did not know, but they promised to get back to me. A week later, I called back to find out how he had voted. This time they told me that he had not voted on this bill because it had never been in his committee or on the floor. I then called his D.C. office. It took three people and fifteen minutes to find out that Neumann had voted for it both times. They did not send me the copy of the amendment I had requested. Neumann's office lied to me and shuffled me around. I believe we deserve more out of our representatives. Sincerely, Th~mas R. Belongia EDITORIAL POLICY Ranger Newsencourages Letters to the Editor.

Nelson jRanger columnist Consider the following statistic: one out of three women will be sexually abused in their lifetime. Additionally, it is estimated that almost 20% of men have been sexually molested. This s u rnm e r ; I dealt with this issue personally. Someone close to me was abused extensively by a family member when she was a teenager. In the past two months, and some twenty years after the fact, she finally sought the help she needs. When I first met her, she was a stunning young lady. I began to court her. Things went well, so well in fact that the gorgeous lady agreed to take my last name. Even so, I sensed something was not right. Something had happened to my wife, but I couldn't pin it down. After several years of marriage, I got the outline of what had happened. Her stepfather abused her. Trapping her in her room- or in other parts of the house, this slimy snake did things that no father should do. Guess what? Abuse like this leaves a legacy. Any girl or woman so misused needs a lot of care and support to heal emotionally. I have to help my wife, because I love her. Sexual abuse is a crime of power, not love. An abuser accomplishes nothing by forcing an unwilling girl. Many women are physically weaker than men and have been socialized to defer to adult males. Any man who violates a woman is like the German army invading Denmark. Pick on someone your own size! Gentlemen of Parkside, though as individuals we may be innocent of mistreating women, as a gender we have been found guilty. We must atone' Support Kenoshans Against Sexual Abuse.

Smith encouraged UW-Parkside's 350 graduates May 14 to discover their own "special level of excellence and achievement" and be ready lO make a difference in a "rapidly changing" world. "History is full of people who had an idea and then applied their resources to make their dream a reality," Smith said. "A writer once said that you don't get ideas ... you smell them out, you track them down, wrestle them, pursue them and then implement them. "Such an engagement is done only in the course of active living- seeing what needs to be done to improve the quality of human beings and then being motivated to do something to influence change. "If you see something that needs to change, you must have a definite, clear and practical idea of how to make a difference and then be determined to make the idea a reality by using whatever wisdom, money, material or method is available." Smith also told graduates that the educational experiences they have received from Parkside have helped to lay the foundation for their roles in the stage of life. "Your teachers, the staff, your peers, the books and the various experiences have planted the seeds of future ideas which can inspire you to be lifted above the level of your current self." United States Rep. Mark Neumann, the featured speaker for the university's 26th annual commencement ceremony, told graduates that when a strong set of values IS added to their educational experiences, "anything is possible." Neumann, a 1975 graduate of UW- Whitewater, said he learned from his mistakes after losing consecutive bids in 1991 and 1993 for a Congressional District seat in Congress, He was successful in his third try however, defeating Peter Barca last November for the I st Congressional District seat. Neumann explained that there will be "much adversity and failure" for graduates to encounter on the road to the American Dream, but he maintained his belief in the importance of family, values and friends to help make it through tough times. Mark Neumann Six uw- Parkside students honored as outstanding graduates Six University of Wisconsin- Parks ide graduates were honored with Outstanding Graduate Awards during the university's commencement exercise of Sunday, May 14.

Since Barnett arrived from a position with the University of Colorado, pre- conference games have included nationally competitive teams like Stanford, Boston College, and Notre Dame. A full-pads, game-condition scrimmage will be held Saturday, August 19, in the main track/soccer bowl. Dubbed the "Parkside Bowl," this year's event will include pre-scrimmage festivities like a brat, beer and soda tent: an official NU souvenir wagon: and special appearances by the Wildcat Cheerleaders and Willie the Wildcat; all these attractions are courtesy of NU's Wildcat Football Booster Club and the Northwestern Gridiron Network. Admission to the scrimmage is free.

Students Speak Against Proposed State Budget Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE students Speak Against Proposed State Budget by Pamela Bradshaw "Education cuts never heal," "Ignorance breeds ignorance, Education breeds prosperity," these slogans and many more were drawn on signs held by UW- Parkside students attending a hearing on the proposed state budget, Bill AB 150. Held on April 19th in the conference center at Gateway in Kenosha, students, the elderly, the disabled, public school educators and others gathered; most waiting to voice their opposition to the cuts that would be made if Bill AB1S0 was passed. The bill proposed a 6.1 % increase in tuition the first year and a 5.25% increase the second. Additionally. there would be a $40 tuition surcharge the first year and $80 the second to offset cuts in General Program Revenue. A technology fee would also be added, J % ($21) the first year and 2% ($43) the second. State financial aid would be level funded or cut and there is no money set aside for the Tuition Award Program. Further cuts are being considered in advising, counseling, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, the Adjunct budget and possibly changing the four schools to two schools. State legislators that attended the meeting were: Senator Andrea, Senator Chvala, Representati ve Coggs, Representative Kreuser, Representative Plache and Representative Turner. Coggs and Chvala are members of the JOint Finance Committee. Before the public began speaking Kreuser expressed his dissatisfaction with the budget bill, "We've gone from a state-funded system to a state supported system." He also felt that it would, "punish some people who work while going to school." Overall, Kreuser stated that he was against increases in tuition and decreases in financial aid. Chancellor Smith attended the meeting and-spoke on the impact the proposed budget would have on faculty and students, "Education is an investment in the future, the backbone of society ...Students are our future leaders ...we must provide them quality education at an affordable price." Tom Richie, PSGA President also addressed the legislators, "The proposed budget cuts will reduce see Budget, page 2 Creative Activities and Research Recognition Day Above: Wisconsin state senators and representatives were on hand for a public hearing about state budget cuts April 19 at Gateway Technical Collage in Kenosha.

"I learned how to build a research project from the ground up," said Matt Kelley, ajunior psychology major from Greenfield. Kelley worked with professor Don W alter on a project concerning memory and language. Kelley enjoyed both the research and the presentation. N or was he the only student to enjoy the spotlight. Kelly Murphy, senior psychology major, had two projects in the show: one on multiple memories and memory inhibition and another on how education and socioeconomic status affect childrearing patterns in mothers. "It was a good way to put closure on the research I've The purpose of the fair was to gi ve campus- wide recognition to undergraduate researchers like Kelley and Murpby. The university was represented by thirteen departments, but not all departments were created equal. The bulk of the presentations, 21 of 35, came from three departments: biology, chemistry and psychology. Creative activities rounded out the event-filled day. Jazz Ensemble and Chorale made beautiful music, and art professors and dramatic arts students showed their work. "This event really helps to distinguish Uw-Parkside as a unique educational environment," said Lyndsay Knoell, Parkside biology major. TeB awards given four areas of your life together will influence the lifestyle you select to live, and the level of excellence you will achieve." "Each of you should have a road map of your life. You may have to take some detours, but you can always get back to the rnai n road if you know where you are going and you have a plan." And Smith warned us that we should not always follow others blindly. A snow plow in a snowstorm may just be cleaning out a parking lot. "I have a blueprint for my life and a concept of the kind of woman J want to be when I am 100 years old. And I know what I must do to get there. My destination combines these four areas of my being." "As we celebrate your achievements this evening, are they a part of your dream that will lift you and carry you to exciting and new experiences?" Smith asked the audience. "Is tonight's achievement an end into itself, Of is it just the beginning? To arrive, you must have a vision, a dream, a plan of where you want to go." In closing, Smith quoted Herman Watts: "Life is not intended to be safe. A safe life has too small a name for a creature of eternity .... When answering to its true name, it lifts on wings. feeling no invisible hand to support it." by Jim Hendrickson On Friday, April 21, tbe Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) presented its eighth annual TeB (Taking Care of Business) awards, which recognized the achievements of students of color at UW -Parkside. "I am really energized and excited to be in a room of talented people," said Nydia Adames-Petty, Coordinator of Retention Services at OMSA. "I think we can't say enough about that." Anthony Brown, Director of OMSA, 'said that there was much to celebrate. "In 1989. 10 students graduated. In 1990 we had 17 people. This year there are 32 people graduating." At the ceremony, Mark Lewis read his poem, "Let My Heritage Rise," which reads, in part, "I can't let my people, heritage, and history cease. If you want my history to fade, you will have to rise above me. But still it won't languish." Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith was the keynote speaker. "Your commitment and hard work are to be celebrated," said Smith. "We acknowledge that what you have achieved has not come easily. You selec.ted to make quality a priority." Smith wanted us to choose to be excellent. "Excellence is not a sometime affair, it is a way of life and encompasses the four areas of your being: spiritual, mental, physical and SOCial," she said.

"On the one hand. my family taught me 'Be proud of yourself, 'You're Korean, you're pure Korean." However, Myo- Young found discrepancies. "If I was to be proud to be Korean, why was I not brought up speaking Korean in the home?" Myo- Young asked. "If we were proud to be Korean , why did I eat more meat loaf and spaghetti, than ... kimshi. If I was (0 be proud, why was I sent to ballet class instead of Korean dance class."

She also pointed out that, "historically Wisconsin has supported higher education." "What are we supposed to infer when you are building more prisons and taking money away from our higher education?" questioned Lucia Herrera-Delgadillo, a reading specialist at Parkside. "We are facing cuts at the university that are affecting our students mostly," she said. Andrea Davis spoke on behalf of the disabled. She advised that taking money away from the disabled would reduce their ability to achieve a college education and become productive members of the community, "Please fill our colleges, not our nursing homes." Surviving Sexual Assault Advocac-y Program the mean time, advocates continue to update their training and educate the public on the issue about sexual assault. They are available to assist survivors to obtain assistance in dealing with the after affects of a sexual assault. If you see one of our advocates on campus, let them know that you appreciate their dedication and their willingness to be a Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate volunteer. For more information about the Surviving Sexual Assault Advocacy Program, contact an advocate or one of the departments listed in this article. by Marlene Schlecht University Police As you walk around the UW-Parkside campus, you will notice yellow "Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate" signs posted on doors, windows, and desks. The person who have their name on these signs are trained volunteers who care about the survivors of sexual violence. What is a "Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate"? An advocate is a trained listener who provides moral support, assistance exploring available options, and makes referrals. The role of an advocate is to empower a victim to make educated decisions. The U.W. Parkside "Surviving Sexual Assault Advocacy" Program is a collaborative effort of students. faculty, and staff members who work together. In addition to general information about sexual assault and how it affects victims, their families, and friends; our advocates have received training in advocacy, crisis intervention techniques, investigation and criminal justice procedures, University disciplinary proceedings, and community resources. The advocates are prepared to assist both primary and secondary victims of sexual violence. Training of advocates is done by members of the Student Health Services, Residence Housing, Student Counseling Services, and the University Police. The Surviving Sexual Assault Advocates hope that you will not need them in a crisis situation, but are prepared to be utilized if you do. In that expressed my identity as an Asian American woman. Now why would this be so? I experienced a profound loneliness, a profound alienation. I was called names on the streets by small children. 1couldn't relate to that." A Native American man, John Bodine, empowered her, making her aware of her identity. "He was really the first person I'd met in Madison who was truly open to me," said Myo-Young, "truly rooted in the knowledge of who he was." Her first piece was entitled Picture Bride, which chronicled the life of one Korean woman who married a man of whom she had only seen a picture. She was one of many such 'picture brides.' "Their hopes of a better life were often shattered when they walked off tbe gangplank they met their old husbands who were about 20 years older than their pictures," said Myo-Young. 'These women carried the triple burden of not only working in the fields beside their husbands, but also had the chore of helping with the household needs and meeting the needs of their own children." "I am trying to bring these stories to the public because they are being ignored," said Myo-Young. "I had to do something to remember her story because it is happening to many women of color, to many other women. It's not just her life. We have a responsibility to talk about the unspeakable before we can move National Sexual Assault Awareness Week What is sexual assault? In Wisconsin, sexual assault is sexual contact or sexual intercourse with a person without the consent of that person. How does sexual contact affect me? Check out the following shocking statistics: -I in 3 women will be a victim of rape in her lifetime. -1 in 4 girls and I in 7 boys will be sexually abused as children. -92% of all sexual assaults reported in 1993 in Wisconsin were committed by someone known to the victim. -There were 7487 sexual assaults reported that same year, a 4.7% increase from 1992. forward and make our society better." Myo-Young said she drew upon many diverse sources to develop her work. "I can't really tell in my work what is Korean, Korean-American, what looks like kung fu or ta'i chi any more," she said. "It's all coming just from me, as an Asian American woman. I'm trying to forge something new" Myo- Young said that a fighting spirit animates her work. As a person of color, she feels it is imperative to express this spirit, or han, in her art. "If we don't fight for ourselves no one else will give it to us." she said. People of color need to find areas of commonality, themes that will empower this population. "On a concrete and practical level, not only do I dance, but I'm also work for a political and cultural transformation by teaching my dancers in the school system, creating curriculum alternatives," said Myo- Young. "This has been very very frustrating for me. In a a way I feel that I am hitting my head against a concrete wall. The school system is very rigid, it's really old fashioned, and at the bottom line, I think it's racist. It does not support the artists of color very easily." "I'm always fighting," she said. "I feel like I'm always fighting, except for the students. I love the children. I'm also working in longer term projects to provide an alternative cultural program." Sexual assault affects everyone! Even if you aren't aware of the situation, chances are someone you know has been or will be a victim of sexual assault. Of the 6 people closest to you, try to figure out which one will be that victim. How will you help this person? Do you know what the lingering effects of the assault might be? What can you do to stop sexual assault? April 23-29 has been designated National Sexual Assault Awareness Week. The purpose of the week is to increase awareness of the problem. Take the time to get educated. Talk to a Parkside Surviving Sexual Assault Advocate to see what you can do. Myo- Young said her most recent political activism led to the Holly report, which eventually led to the Madison plan. "We had done all the work," Myo- Young said. "Shalala came in and signed on the dotted line and called it her Madison plan." "My dancing is about empowerment," said Myo-Young. "It's about revisioning my own bloodline, negotiating my own identity and my heritage that was denied to me. It's also about creating new cultural form. It's about cultural change that tied to these changes in this country that I would like to see systemic ... to the point that ethnic and cultural differences are supported rather than tom apart by racism. I mean change so that so that the very small elite percentage of this nation's population no longer controls the nations wealth and the nations underclass and mostly people of color will no longer suffer as they suffer now. These are all very very important goals for me. Dancing for me is about spiritual empowerment and political- liberation. So what will you do tomorrow and today as leaders of future generations? What will you do?"

The killer murders those whom he believes the Bible would consider immoral. "The movie itself is a comment on society and what we consider t-o be right and wrong," stated Collum. The series Mark of the Devil may be unfamiliar to some because the original was a 1970 foreign film dubbed into English.

First of all, I feel that we all do not represent this university as we should and could. I do not see racial fights, nor do I see perfect racial harmony. It is great that this university is so diverse. There are also many international students here that I am very proud to know. Although one may see the racial diversity, the international students, "okay" race relations, and the various organizations such as HOP and BSU as part of the liberal education that we are receiving. just consider where we are in America: rural Southeast Wisconsin. If you ever get thechance to travel across the US or even the world, you'll find out how conservative our society actually is, I am norlooking for an immediate cure to the problems in our society, rather I am asking everyone to make an effort to be more accepting of those who are different than you.

An Observation on Liberal Melange ,y Barb Churchill ianger columnist Last week, I attended the budgetary rearing held at the Gateway, Kenosha :arnpus. One of the most important .tatements of the evening was by Chuck Chvala, State Senator (0- vladison) and ex-candidate for jovemor. He said, "If this hearing accomplishes anything, it should make ilear that senior citizens should -JEVER again have to come down to a niblic hearing and BEG for the noney to live a normal, independent jfe!" The crowd clapped and cheered. The planned evisceration of the Department of Public Instruction .DPI), and the Thompson plan of eliminating or stripping power from [he State Superintendent and appointing someone drew many speakers. Many believed that Tommy has overstepped his bounds, and wondered at the apparent lack of common sense. One oddity was that the possibility of cutting out the Public Intervener's Office of the DNR and filling it with a Thompson appointee drew more speakers than the education issues. Now this idea is pretty stupid, and tbe speakers (about ten of them) did have a good point in opposing this. However, it seems mighty strange that more people talked about this than about the lack of UW-System funding! One older gentleman's comment was particularly telling, saying that he wanted to see the environment safeguarded. Doesn't he care about education being safeguarded too, or isn't this important? Speaking against the proposed UW- System budget cuts were Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith, PSGA President Tom Richie, PSGA Senators Teri Jacobson and Tom Belongia, Lucia Herrera-Delgadillo, Lika Maria Morishita, Mark Lewis, and fermer PSGA Senator Bruce Rocco, and myself. Herrera-Delgadillo, UW- Parkside teacher of English as a second language (ESL), eloquently asked, "Why is there more money to build prisons than there is to fund education?" (Yes, absent Senator Petak, why is there? Do you have any good answer? I really would like to know.) It appears that we had many speakers, but most of us (including myself) spoke late in the evening, after the crowd had already thinned out. However, there were many students present to show solidarity against the OW-System budget cuts, around 55 people, and most of them did stick around. Other PSGA members present were Arian Rana Adair-Nichols (pSG A VP), and Boyd Frederick (former Senator). PSGA did indeed put their money where their mouths were, and showed that they truly DO care about the students. Parkside apathy might just shrivel up and die. (But don't hold your breath.) All of the Democratic Senators and Reps from Southeastern Wisconsin were present, including Robert Turner and Kim Plache (Racine), Jim Kreuser, Joe Andrea. and Bob Wirch (Kenosha). However, why was it that we had more interest from Sen. Chvala, who has no constituency down here, than our own Republican Reps? Sen. Petak and Rep. Ladwig (both R-Racine) who definitely have constituencies in Southeastern Wisconsin were mysteriously absent! Perhaps they misread the map? Or was it, as Tom Belongia said, that they "just don't care to see who it is that they are about to destroy?" Finally, as Rep. Turner (D-Racine) put it, "Contact your state and local government officials. Let them know how you feel, and if they refuse to heed your message, remember your power." In other words, vote them out, out,OUT! Quote of the Week: 'Without education, there is only ignorance. Tommy Thompson, you encourage ignorance at your own risk.' Barb Churchill, Kenosha Budgetary Hearing. (Man. Ed. Note: My, how modest you are, Barb.) Making Sense Out Of It All Trivial Pursuit by Mike Schaefer I bought a new truck last week. Well, not new per se, but new to me. It's nice to be mobile again. Its nice to be able to say,"Sure, I'll pick ya' up at.;" then don't. I can cruise beaches now, with my Mr. Microphone and announce,"Hey. baby, I'll be back to pick ya' up later." Once again I can leave my brights on when I crest a hilltop. Hell, I can drive without my lights on or just my parking lights. So many choices: left ill right blinker, hazard lights, dome light... Hey! Now I've got an ashtray to collect roaches in. I love having a vehicle. I can now haul ass through construction zones. I now have a bumper on which to put my "I ~ my dog", my "I + my seal", my "Jesus .'s Dick," my "End Racism, Kill Everybody", my "Butch in the streets, Femme in the sheets" and my Elvis bumper stickers. I can engrave my initials on ex- girlfriends' parents' lawns, pick up hitchhikers, run over pets, get airborne over railroad tracks, wedge a Big-Wheel under my front bumper and drive maniacally through school zones, cut through gas stations and parking lots rather than wait for the light 10 tum green, seriously screw with the your-turn, my-turn social custom at four-way stop signs and yield signs. Heck, I can not yield. Ohrnlgod. one word: tailgate! And, since I have, specifically, a truck. I can push most other cars out of their parking spaces at the mall or wherever. Hey, I can smuggle things. Especially with a truck. Check this out. The last time I was in Florida I noticed the pawn shops were selling guns twenty-five to forty percent cheaper than such businesses up here in the north country. Actually, in my travels, I've noticed most of the South has pretty good deals for your arms dollar, which anybody with a vehicle (such as, of recent, moi), a few connections and a little bit of capitol can get in on. Why, the mark-up on one pistol-grip, twelve gauge pump could cover the gas money to and from, oh, say Atlanta or Memphis. Even more if you know some gullible junior high gangsta muthaf-kas. As long as we're on this smuggling thing, I think the illegal immigrant trade would be a great way to pay for college. Apparently, illegal immigrants from China, Viet-Nam and other points far east are paying upwards of ten grand to be smuggled' into the U.S. Then, when they reach L.A or San Fran or wherever, that's it, they're on they're own, stuck in some West Coast seaport and nowhere to go. it's really awful and my heart goes out to 'em. So, there's a market for some charitable person, for, say, seven hundred to a thousand per, to take these new arrivals to our country wherever in the lower forty-eight they would care to go. Sure, they'd be just as lost wherever they ended up, but at least they'd be stranded in the city of their choice. Ya' know, I could probably fit at least seven of 'em in the back of my truck, which I'm sure is a helluva lot more sanitary than the bilge pump room of some leaky trawler. I've already looked into this a bit (saw a special on 20/20) and less than a quarter of the smugglers are ever caught and of those less than five percent ever serve the maximum jail sentence: a whopping three months. And apparently, the sentences don't go up for repeat offenses. And technically, I'm not even smuggling Mg. Ed. Note- And we at The Ranger News hope others learn the Lesson as well as YOU have To the Editor, Many thanks go out to the students, faculty, and administration for the tremendous showing last Wednesday evening at the budget hearing. I tip my hat to the Parkside Student Government for the long hours put forth to assure organization and recruitment of the number of people they did. I extend my thanks to the Black Student Union and the Hispanic Organization of Parkside for attending in full force. Also, the administrative turn-out from the university was sensational. Finally, that last hardcore group of individuals who were there by 6:00 pm and didn't get the microphone in their hand until nearly 11:00 pm. I envy your determination. All in all, it was a momentous evening for the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. Thanks a million! Tom Richie, PSGA President anyone into the country. Basically, I'd be picking up hitchhikers (for a small, onetime only fee, of course). And on my way to the West Coast I could detour through Memphis or Dallas and pick up some hand guns to cover costs so them immigrants would be pure profit. . I could take a week off maybe once every couple of months, make the trip and get a whole lot more than I'm getting from my student loans now. And ycu'can't say I'm not working for it. There's much more to smuggling than just filling out a few forms to give to Lloyd down at the financial aid office. Not that I dislike Lloyd, he's a rockin' cat, but ya' know I feel like a mooch, living off taxpayers, prostituting myself for an education. When I get money I like to be able to say that I earned it, ya' know? With smuggling I mean ya' gotta make the contacts, sell your service, be cool under pressure in the hick towns and drive casually ... And you, as a smuggler, are bound to come across some real scumballs that ya' gotta know how to handle. Oh, and what if your cargo gets unruly, like they want to eat or somethin'? What else ya' gonna do? I mean, I don't understand Cantonese, sooner or later you're gonna end up havin' ta' smack someone around. And I've never had to smack Lloyd around, ever. Where's a day's labor in that? Now maybe if Lloyd started getting belligerent and wavin' a broken Mad Dog bottle or somethin', I might feel a little better about myself when I pick up my Pell Grant at the cashier's office. Lloyd, dude, ya' gotta change your ways. The times, man, they are a-changin". Hey Lloyd, wanna buy a pistol grip, twelve gauge pump? • 5 ,8 T ~ lIe.,/ ell lIevlew BLOWN TO SMITHEREENS ALTERNATIVE MUSIC GURU that had unusual lyrical content, and Genesis featured Here I am, back to work some unusual chord I trying to explain "alternative" progressions that added to the music to the older generation. character of their music.

Another hit off the album was "Blues Before and After." Yet again, they hit the charts with, in my opinion. their raunchiest of guitar ripping rock ever. With the Fall 1991 came the album Blow Up. With this album came the single "Too Much Passion" which was probably their biggest hit ever . It was their biggest hit for all the right reasons though. "Too Much Passion" is a song on the lighter side that incorporates a puppy love theme with great song writing. Most impressive are the beautiful strings that accompany a clean rhythm and in their recordings.) This gives them a parallel with Alice in Chains, which used string instruments extensively on their recent Jar of Flies album. They were a commercial success, but most of their alternative-like music was earlier in their career. II "I,OIl't argue with anyone d If e ......~ they want to bum "\'11' Roboto." In fact, I'd probably join them!) There also are some other bands and individuals that definitely have had an impact on alternative music. I would say that Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, and Cream had some impact. That is because of the psychedelic nature of some of their best music. 60's psychedelia definitely figures into alternative somewhere, because it has factored into some groups as diverse as Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, and of course catchy chorus. More recently is the song that appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Time Cop. The classic Outsiders tune "Time Won't Let Me" is a perfect example of the basic rock versatility that the Smithereens are capable of. The song is great, but I'm not sure that I can say the same for the movie. Blown To Smithereens contains all these songs and more, sixteen in all. I can honestly say that every song on this album is truly great. Every song is pure Smithereens, which means this is an album that gets back to the basics of great rock n roll. No matter what your tastes, you'll dig it. Soundgarden. And finally. the main thing that Styx, early Genesis, and the other groups have in common with current "alternative" bands is the visceral nature of their music. These groups all have unique and dis" Is (like altern a' and they all capture ~1 uion easily. almost w r fort.

MILWAUKEE CLASSIC. The first meet was a 36-hole meet held April 14-15at Dretzka Park GC in Menominee Falls. The first day brought almost-ideal conditions for scoring, with temperatures in the 50s and light winds. After firing a team score of 312 the first day, the Rangers went home with a 10 stroke lead. The second day brought a dramatic increase in winds, much cooler temperatures, and a hard charge by the Division 1 Marquette Golden Eagles. Coming from the pack. the Golden Eagles finished the last day tied with the Rangers with a two-day total of 629. After some debate. the coaches decided to have a team playoff on the first hole. As a result, ten players from Marquette and Parksidc went off the first tee to decide the championship. The fatal blow was delivered by Parkside's Aron Hogden, who sank a 10-foot par putt to put the Golden Eagles away. "Dretzka played tough because of strong winds, wet ground, and it was just a long course," said Brent Heit. Coach Stephens added, "Putting was difficult because the greens were fast and bumpy. The strategy of Slaying below the hole was very important." Ah, yes- the advantages of spring golf. Parkside was led by defending champion Andy Boedecker, who 10talOO 156(76-80). Boedecker finished 3rd, while in 4th was Brent Heit at 157(78-79). Dave Kopp was 5th at 158(76-82), while Aron Hogden and Brad Evans finished out the scoring at 162(86-76) and 164 (82-82). MATC INVITATIONAL On April 17, the Rangers traveled to Cherokee CC in Madison, where they won their second tournament in a TOW. The course was tight, with hazards abounding to gather up any bad shots. However, Dave Kopp played Nick Faldo-like golf and led the Rangers to a 17-stroke victory in the to-team invite. UW-Stevens Point UW-Parkside team splits with UIC The UW-Parkside Baseball team split a doubleheader with the University of Illinois-Chicago winning the first game 9-8 and dropping the second 13-8. Both games were 7 innings. The Rangers record is now 12-13-1 on the year. The first game saw the Rangers hit two homeruns in the top of the seventh inning to take a 9-7 advantage and held on for the I run win. Jamie Karow and Mike DeMeuse hit the homeruns in the seventh. It was Karow's second homerun of the day. Scott Fletcher picked up the win and also hit a homerun to help his cause. placed second behind Parkside's 390 with a team score of 407. Dave Kopp garnered his first Tour victory by firing a 2-over-par 74, winning by two strokes. "These were the best greens we had played on so far. One could finally hit a puu on the right line and look forward to it going in," said Brent Heit. Mother Nature took care of the next two meets that the Rangers were to play in. A triangular meet on April 18 was rained out. while snow on the ground/drainage problems cancelled a trip to Winona, MN April 20-21. However, Coach Stephens feels the team is playing well. Adds Aron Hogden, "I don't feel that we've played our best golf yet." The Rangers have this week to sharpen their games before they journey April 28 to Lake Arrowhead GC in Nekoosa, WI for the Pointer Invitational. Then comes the pi votal tournament- the NCAA Division II District IV Tournament April 30-May I at Deer Track GC in Auburn, IN. The second game saw Mark Sura take the loss. UIC scored 8 runs in the second inning and never looked back. Scon Fletcher hit his second homerun of th day in the nightcap. Shawn Babcock also picked up an RBI triple.

The second game saw UW-Parkside go down 1-0 after one inning to Southern Indiana. The score stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth when Scott Fletcher hit a 3 run homerun to make the score 3-1. Southern Indiana was able to score once in the seventh, but it was not enough as the Rangers came away with their second win of the day. Mark Sura (6-4) went the distance for the Rangers striking out six. Lonigro had two hits and one run scored in the second game. UW-Parkside baseball team splits on Sunday The University of Wisconsin- Parkside's split two games on Sunday losing to Southern Indiana 10-5 and defeating Quincy University 5-4.

Historically, this office has provided disadvantaged and minority students with expert advising and programming aimed at multicultural awareness which enhances general education and informs. Student Life does this as well, but OMSA concentrates its focus on those students it serves. The staff is, and has been. a well informed, accessible group of professionals devoted to the success and retention of students, challenging them to excellence. OMSA is needed at UW-Parksidc. Its budget is justified based on need. It has recently brought together several major status student organizations and clubs, advising and housing them. As a direct result, the groups have formed a cohesive base which provides an open forum for interaction between them and the university at all levels. This is expressed in a collective sense of identity and a new level of comfort. This sense of comfort has often been lacking in this university. It may well be the only consistent internal balance available to multiculLural groups of students attempting to function effectively in an often hostile environment. Any attempt at reorganization should consciously strive to maintain this. incorporating student input, while continuing to provide students with qualified, experienced advisors. such as Larry Turner and Nydia Adames-Petry. It is my understanding that the budget cuts will come out of funding accounts #102 and #402. I would challenge any package of CUIS aimed mainly at the lower 50% of the university employment hierarchy. I believe there is a need for a multicuhural center on this campus. Strategies such as expert advising, physical space, accessibility, available staff, etc ...• are extremely important to the continued success of this program. This may be a budget issue, but I would suggest that it is much more than that. If we adopt a wait and see attitude at this point, we lose, again. If you wear the green and blue ribbons representing student power and unity, be prepared. There may be more to do in support of those engaged in this bau!e. This university is a cohesive entity; what impacts adversely on a portion of the population ultimately effects the whole. According to Booker T.

These e t t e r s t o t h e E d ltor "mandates"arenolongerval;d,asofFebruary.1995,whenthe Congress passed a law prohibiting them. That makes tbe passage of the 19-year old drinking age that much closer to reality. Every year since 1985, the Wisconsin Legislature has proposed a bill lowering the drinking age to 19. This is partly because of our independent heritage. We in Wisconsin really abhor governmental interference in our lives, and we want them to JUST BUTf OUT OF OUR SOCIAL LIVES! This, combined with a predominantly Republican legislature, will grant passage of the under-21 year old drinking age law. Under the guise of budget reduction proposals, internal, hidden agendas may be, once again, rearing their ugly heads at UW -Parks ide. The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA), formerly CECA, is in jeopardy, again. A Budget and Review committee proposal dated 2/28/95 stated that some of the office's functions may be duplicated in other areas. i.e. the advising and pre- college programs. In the past, programs and/or personnel that are not popular at Parks ide, were subjected to a systematic dispersal of personnel, functions, and ultimately, purpose. OMSA/CECA was reviewed about three years ago. the review committee was emphatic in backing a program that provides support for groups of students that may not have an effective, in-place support system available to them outside of that setting. Of course, if you remove an employee's' or program's function, reassigning it to other areas. it will then appear to be less than effective. On the other hand, if you 3110w programs and personnel to perform their duties as described in their mission statements and job descriptions, they may well be able to perform One Liberal1s Opinion Besides, the Democrats have nothing against this law in principle either, so they should have no reason to vote against it Also, we have a pretty strong Tavern League, and they want the under-twenty one year old business. (Right now, it is currently illegal for anyone under 21 to step foot in the bar...even to play pool or darts without drinking one drop of alcohol. Where is the logic in that?) A5> for the maturity issue, does it really make sense for there to be one standard for one set of people and one for another? I've met some pretty mature 18 year olds, who are supporting their whole families. I've also met some immature ones, but there are immature people in any crowd. Age is fundamentally irrelevant Experience is what really matters. The most irresponsible person I've recently met is a 76-year old man, who was buying alcohol to get drunker than he already was. (l refused to let him buy. If they are too drunk, you can refuse them, no matter what the age.) Then he got into his car, and hit a light pole at my place of employment. (That just goes to prove that this guy was already too drunk to have any more liquor.) Now, legally, this guy was allowed to drink. But, why should he have been? He obviously didn't have any common sense, or he never would have been so drunk as to hit a light pole. The moral of the story is: Urge your reps to pass this bill quickly when it is submitted. (And keep "Grandpa" off the street if he's been drinking.) To thew Editor, Since becoming the Director of University Police in August 1994, "Parking" and the decisions of the "Parking appeals committee" has caused more complaints and criticism than any other issue I have encountered. It is my intent to describe the l function, purpose and the limitations of the "Parking appeals committee", for r those interested members of the university community who desire clarification. Historically, the committee is appointed by the chancellor and consists of six voting members, two faculty, two students and two staff. The director of University Police serves in an ex-officio, relative to parking. Appointments to the committee are made May for one year and no one from University Police Department shall be appointed to this " committee as a voting member. The chairperson shall be appointed by the chancellor from the members of the committee. f Functions, Powers and procedures: I~ The committee will hear and act upon appeals of parking tickets issued by the University Police. The decision of the appeal committee is final. The decision shall be based solely on written appeals and evidence with no provision for oral presentations by the appellant. The decision shall be based on a majority Vote of the committee members. A committee member may not participate in the deliberations or voting on any appeal he/she may have before the committee. The parking appeals Committee shall report to (he chancellor at least once a year. If, after two weeks of written solicitations of nominations, no nominations are forthcoming, the chancellor shall appoint the necessary representatives. Any changes to the existing system ITIUSt be presented to the "Health, safety and environmental committee" for approval/denial and implementation! deletion. The "Parking Appeals Committee" meets as needed throughout the semester 10 consider appeals. The committee normally schedules a meeting when we have approximately one hundred (100) "Appeals" to review. This is done in an effort to limit meeting times, and accommodate committee members having other responsibilities and obligations. Either myself or Sergeant Leuenberger along with Mrs. Norma Rukavina, Program Assistant three, complete the "Parking Appeals Committee." My job is to read each appeal in it's entirety, without revealing the identity of the appellant to the other members of the Committee. 1 am also available to answer any questions as it relates to the rules and or regulations on parking. Mrs. Rukavina is present strictly to record the results of the committee's findings. After reading the "Appeal", and answering any questions, the committee votes, with the majority ruling. Rukavina, mails out correspondence to the appellants informing tbem of the results. Based on the number of complaints received, I would like to create a "Focus Group", composed of faculty, staff, students and interested community individuals from Kenosha and Racine. The purpose of this "Focus Group" would be to find ways to make visiting the University, a positive experience, which would include a critical examination of the current parking policies in effect on campus and the recourse available (0 individuals who feel they have been erroneously ticketed, towed, warned or treated. In the very near future, I will be contacting individuals who have expressed an interest in possibly modifying the Parking, Ticketing and Towing procedures now in place at the university. To the editor of The Ranger News: occurs when we listen to and talk with those who are different than us, or who disagree with us. The intended effect of the individual(s) censorship of the GLO posters was to limit participation in the Out and About Week activities-therefore limiting learning opportunities for the entire campus community. The lack of acceptance or tolerance demonstrated by the individual(s) who destroyed the GLO posters has no place at a University, and is in direct violation of University policies. If anyone has information about the individuals who destroyed the posters, please contact the Dean of Students Office, Union 209. Ms. [Barb] Churchill raises a valid point when stating that many miscategorized bands are not actually "alternative." In my opinion, she has overzealously crowned herself "Alternative Music Guru." (Any Guru would know that Stone Temple Pilots are actually from California and NOT Seattle.) "Alternative" indicates a deviation from the mainstream. How can Alice in Chains be "alternative" when anyone can sample their music when renting a Matt Dillon flick from any local video store? This fact proves that what was once "alternative" is now mainstream. In your cross country search for an "alternative" scene, you failed to recognize the variety of music forty short miles north of here. If you are looking for bands that deviate from the nann, Citizen King, The Pacers, and Sometimes Sweet Susan have three distinct sounds that I would begrudgingly label as "alternative" simply because it has become such a garbage can term into which all different types of music is thrown. Ms. [Barb] Churchill's discontent feeds into the negative stereotypes of our generation. A majority of people our age do not feel trapped in "Generation X," and are not searching for answers in the lyrics of songs by the Offspring. "Gen X"is another label with a litany of catch phrases created by those who do not understand and therefore cannot control our generation. It is almost impossible for one person to be an authority on a subject that encompasses such diversity. Sincerely, B.H. Smith To Members of the UW-Parkside Community: .On Saturday, April 15, six members of the Gay and Lesbian Organization (GLO) spent over five hours making and hanging banners for Out and About Week activities. On Sunday, the banners had all been defaced and/or removed and discarded. As stated in the Chancellor's Commitment to Diversity document, "The University of Wisconsin-Parks ide must create a teaching and learning environment in which we can grow and learn from each other by appreciating the knowledge, experiences and perspectives that each one of us contributes to the learning community." Students should come to campus to learn. Learning often Sincerely, Diane Welsh Director, University Activities To the Editor, Something has been troubling me of late. Around campus the past few years I've noticed a preponderance of squirrel, rabbit, shrew and other small, furry mammal carcasses, usually missing parts of their lifeless bodies. Being a small, furry, mammal lover I've been deeply troubled by this and have studied (he problem in depth. What I discovered was that these animals had been partially pureed by the Parkside grounds crew's lawnmowers. Apparently these wonderful creatures were being traumatized and frozen where they stood by the sight and sound of these mechanical beasts bearing down upon them. After many a sleepless night I think I may have found a solution to the inadvertent slaying of these innocent, dare I say "peoples". It would not be to great an expense, given the reward of saving lives, to hire a person for the grounds crew to walk one or two hundred feet in front of the lawn mowers during their lime of operation with a bullhorn announcing something to the effect of. "Attention. all small, furry mammals. The big. noisy, fearsome beast behind me is only a lawnmower. Please retreat to your respective burrows for an hour or two and you will not be harmed. Thank you," Sincerely, Mike Schaefer Parkside student and friend of small, furry mammals everywhere. Robert Deane UW-P Chief of Police 4 8 T S 8e~1 Live IIIle;v/l:w FLESI1 by Robby Thompson 1 have to say that I didn't know what to expect from my night at the Rave in Milwaukee. I was to interview the band Flesh before they opened for Extreme. My experience back stage with the band Flesh was one of mutual respect. Here were four guys who had to play in front of a huge crowd that night, and some how they found the time to sit down with a college student from a town they never heard of and answer every question that was asked of them. After I got done interviewing them I felt as if I had just sal down with personal friends that I had known for years. Not only were they great guys, but they seemed to be very respectful in the ways they carried themselves. Missing were the backstage antics we always hear rumors of. What I saw were four professional muaici ans with professional attitudes! Flesh is: Paulo Bettencourt- vocals, Gonga- Drums, Markus-guitar, and Stephen Powell - bass. When ( first sat down with Flesh I wanted to know what these rock stars had on their minds before a big show. "Rock 'n' roll man!" Paulo quickly replied. "We let the music do the talkin" Markus also answered. These guys have a great CO, but given the fact that grunge is real popular right now I asked if they have a hard time finding an audience since their music is more rock influenced. "We've always had a huge audience at home. We've been appreciated at home and our fans have stuck by us. The bands around us have gone to grunge, but we've always stuck to what we know how to do," replied Markus. Then Stephen added, "We mostly play the New England area, and it seems that our name has a good aura to it, so people come and hear the new stuff." Stephen went on to explain how they draw crowds in the western part of the country. "Since we've been doing the tour with Extreme and they draw the crowd. Luckily our styles are both hard rock, so they have harmonies and we have harmonies. We're both not grunge bands, we're both not alternative, so their crowd is more likely to be receptive to us than not. As opposed to if we were touring with Offspring or something." 1 asked the band what they thought of the new "grunge" scene and what the Boston music scene is like. "I think it's Rock 'n' roll," said Paulo. Then Markus remarked that it is ironic that alternative music is what's now mainstream. Everyone laughed while Paulo said that big thing in Boston was alternative. I asked who their main influences were, who caused them to pick up an instrument. "I always loved The Who, as well as Queen. Those are the early days. Then I got mellow and started listening to Steely Dan and now I listen to everything, all over the place," said Markus. "That pretty much goes for all of us. We all have similar styles. I'm sure we all love bands like Queen, who has been a major influence to us, and also bands like The Who, Cheap Trick, and the Beatles,' said Stephen. Markus explained their new CD as "Yellow" while Paulo said it was "Black." Stephen went into more detail of explaining their CD as, "Kind of like a bumble bee." (The packaging on their new CD just happens to be yellow and black- I meant the music). Since they went into such great detail about what their music looks like I asked them to explain what it sounds like. "It's up beat too, not morbid," replied both Stephen and Markus. "I would like to compare it to not saying we are "as great as" or .. any less than," but compared to bands like the Rolling Stones, Queen, and the Who, that are just bands who play Rock 'n' roll, it's not "alternative," it's not "pop," and it's not "heavy metal." It's just what they feel at the time," said Stephen. I told them lhat there was an impression of a great "feel good" album. Markus then said, "You hit it on the head. A lot of our songs are a liUle older and very psyched to be alive, as opposed to when you become jaded and start writing some bitchy songs, which will be on the second album. (laughs) It's pretty pumped! We've been in the clubs a long time and a lot of the riffs have to work the second you hear them or you don't get a response. So say if we write a song, then play it live, then come back to the practice room and say hey, that bridge was really long winded, then we'll just get rid of it. The live show shapes our song writing." I had to ask who the Beavis and BUllhead fan was because there was someone yelling "Fire, Fire'[on the song "Think Too Much." So as everyone pointed to Paulo he remarked "Beavis rules Man!" Markus said "We were in the studio that weekend and it just happened to be on. It was just one of those jokes you couldn't get out of your head. So, he wanted to do it, and we're all like "ah sh!t." But he did it anyway, and it was funny." Paulo explained that his favorite episode was the one where Beavis pulled his shirt up over his head ... "The Great Bungholio." Markus explained where the name "Flesh" came from, "it was just a name with no meaning behind it, although as times went on, I choose to think of it as a brotherhood that is non discriminating. It's not black flesh, and it's not white flesh, it basically puts us all in the same boat." From listing to their album it was obvious that their are great musicians that know what they are doing, so I wanted to know how they reached that level. Paulo said that you have to work hard and stick together to make it anywhere, and Gongo added that you also have to love what you are doing. "Every time a style changes don't rush to be like that style or write like it because your going to be new no matter what. Just write what you love," said Stephen. Paulo said that Flesh has plans for making more albums in the future. "I think the word is longevity. We want to stick together and be called Flesh," said Stephen. The last question I had for Flesh was "Who is your favorite Brady?" Markus said his favorite, was Greg, and Gongo and Stephen had to agree because he was the one and only Johnny Bravo. Paulo, however, said his favorite was Marsha, in the later episodes. When it came time for Flesh to hit the stage they not only lived up to the great sound on their CD, they lived up to everything they said they would be. They went on stage being only themsel ves, and blew the amazed audience away. The only thing I wasn't sure of was who had a better time-the audience, or the four guys on stage.

'Pm Softball vs. St. Joseph. by Dawn Apostoli Chris 0' Donnell shares the big screen with the newly found actress, Minnie Driver, in the movie Circle of Friends. At first glance, these two spark a love connection ... which makes this film a rather heart- warming love story. This movie starts off with three, young, best friends (Benni, Eve, and Nan) romping around in the forest on the day of their confirmation. Some years later, Nan eventually goes her separate way. However in 1957, the trio is reunited in Dublin, Ireland, where they all attend the same university. Soon, it is like there were no years missing between the threesome; they are as close as they were when they were carefree children. Nan, being a popular and beautiful young woman, introduces Benni (Minnie Driver) to one of her good friends, Jack (Chris O'Donnell). There seems to be an instant attraction between Benni and Jack; however, Benni is supposed to someday marry the young man, Shawn, who works in her father's little- shop. Much to her dismay, she is forced to go on a date with this unpleasant, disgusting person. Even though she expresses her opinion of Shawn to him and to her parents, Shawn still persistently tries to win Benni's love ... or at least her hand in marriage so he can carryon the business when her father dies. The whole time Shawn is chasing Benni, she and Jack are falling in love. Unfortunately, due to Benni's absence from the city for a while because of a family emergency, Jack accidentally finds himself in a predicament. Without thinking, he yields to temptation. This incident, along with another one, breaks Benni's heart. With her being in this vulnerable position, Shawn reappears. He continues to try and persuade her to be his wife, but when she declines his offer once again, he uses different tactics to try to win her over. Instead of using pleasant words to describe her, he tells her how much of a whale and a cow she is, and he insists she won't find anyone else because of the fact by Bill Zasoba The film I have chosen this week is "Bad Boys" starring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence. If you have at. least seen the previews, this film is as explosive and as action-packed as it comes off. "Before I saw the film, I was wondering to myself "Can Will Smith actually playa serious role?" The answer is yes. He plays a rich kid who is only a cop because he loves the action. Martin Lawrence, on the other hand, has a wife and family and relies on his paycheck. The story of the film breaks down like this: Millions of dollars of heroin is stolen from the police safe. The police must get it back before the media or anyone else finds out. Along the way they (Smith, Lawrence) must protect their only lead to who has stolen the drugs and solve this case. This film is packed with blazing gun fights, high speed car chases and amusing one liners. Don't count on Will Smith making fun of Uncle Phil or Martin Lawrence yelling "Hell no!" in this film. 11 has plenty of other things from the opening attempted car jacking to the final high speed car chase feanning Martin Lawrence driving Will best is "The Mountains of Mourning," about a child born deformed that was murdered out of hand by her own grandmother because she was different. The parallels to Miles' own situation make this story even more profound. I highly recommend these books to you. Sometimes love, honor and duty seem like outmoded concepts. But they make for excellent reading in these books, because Bujold's characters are fully-fleshed, witty, and lifelike. (Especially Milesf) Like every great book l t ve ever run across, every re-reading gives you a little more information about them (which makes you want to read them again and again). These books are kind of a cross between military tactics, political commentary, space opera, 'romance, and too much else to list. They are excellent. Try them, before the bookseller of your choice runs out! that she's a rather large woman . Does Benni see truth in what Shawn says about her? Does she finally accept him as the man she is going to marry? Or will Jack reenter her life and find a way to make her forgive him? Circle of Friends is a wonderful and inspiring story about some particular trials and tribulations of life. Driver and O'Donnell seem (0 have natural chemi atry for one another which makes their performance together, as a couple in love, quite exceptional. So, if your interested in seeing a movie about a circle of friends whose love lives have an impact on others' lives, this movie is one you will certainly enjoy. Smith's $105,000 "limited edition" Porsche. Bad Boys kept me on the edge of my seat and afterwards left me out of breath. I'll have to give this film the green light. Go see it, or at least see it for the sequence of Will Smith chasing a speeding Ford Bronco on foot or our two heroes wrestling in a kiddy pool over a minor misunderstanding. You won't be let down.

The Duke Athlete of the Week Jeff Lonigro Senior- Baseball Major: Accounting Jeff has started at second base for the Rangers the past two seasons. He brings great defensive abilities along with an explosive bat to the Ranger line-up. Last season Jeff batted .349 and set a school record by getting five hits in a single game. This season Jeff has picked up right where he left off. Over this past weekend Jef had four hits, including two doubles and two stolen bases to lead UW-Parkside to a sweep over UW-Whitewater. Lonigro leads the team in stolen bases, RBI's and batting average. Track Teams 2nd at Carthage Haines, Borkowski roll in 10 km by AI Heppner Spectators froze once again, but the sub 40 degree temperatures didn't slow down Parkside's distance runners. Both the men and women finished 2nd out of 9 teams. Amy Haines dominated her first 10,000 meter run (37:10). Leading the race from start to finish, Haines lapped the field, qualified for NAIA Nationals, and ranked #5 on the UWP All-Time list. Wendy Licht was second in her first 10 km (39:30) and also cracked the UWP All-Time list. "Amy and Wendy both ran excellent in their first 1 st 10,000' s. Haines will probably run it at Nationals," UWP Coach Mike De Witt said. "She lacks quick speed, but is good at running away from the competition." Perfect for the 1Okm. In the men's 10 krn , Brian Borkowski pulled away at the 2 km mark and dominated the rest of the way. Borkowski' s winning time of 33:56 was a personal best. ..It was weird, because it was so darn long," said Borkowski. "I wasn't used to running all those laps on the track." He Sure didn't show any hesitation, however. Borkowski has emerged this season as one of Rangers split a pair with Lewis Big 1st propels Rangers in game one the Ranger's top scoring threats and has turned it up a notch in practice. "I've been getting a lot of rest and I've been feeling good in practice. That gets me pumped for the race," he said. In the 5 krn , Julie Barnhill placed 2nd in a personal best time of 19:29. Ryan Benson was 3rd in the men's race with his time of 16:21. Val Niese was a winner in the 800 meter run (2:22.7). Lisa "Iron woman" Potthast broke the school record in the Heprathlon. Her score of 3372 points shattered Shirley Gunther's record (3187). She also probably broke the world record for competing in the most events in one track meet. She ran, threw, and jumped her way through a grand total of 14 events. "It (competing in 14 events) was cool," said Potthast. "I had a lot of fun." Sounds like a kid in a candy store. She'll just take one of each. The javel in, the long jump, a couple 100 meter hurdles. You get the idea. "Lisa is doing real well," said De Witt. "She still has long way to go (to qualify for Nationals), but she can do it." Stronger competition should do the trick. Which is exactly what she'll face in the next two weeks. "It will get tougher and I will be able to improve with more competition," Potthast said: Hopefully, so will the rest of the: learn. Ranger Scott Fletcher steps up to bat against Lewis University Monday. more in the fifth, also added one run in the third to account for their coasted home from there. Shawn Babcock, who had a tough time in the field (two errors), more Ihan made up for it by slugging a long homerun in the Ranger first. Second baseman Jeff Lonigro also homered to center in the opening frame. Jamie Karow hit a homer to left center in the third and Steve Grzeskiewicz had an RBI single in the fourth to give the Rangers their ten runs. Lewis University, who started their #3 pitcher because of a busy weekend schedule, came back to score 3 runs in the second and 3 seven runs. Mike DeMeuse pitched well enough to earn the win by going five strong innings before making way for Phil Maier who finished out the game and picked up the save.

Division II schedule next season. 7 NFL Draft Preview by Scott Fragale NFL draft: Carolina should look towards Penn State Quarterback with the first pick overall. But Ki-Jana Carter will be hard to overlook. Look for Jacksonville to go with AlI- American offensive lineman from USC Tony Boselli who could be the best to come out at his position since Anthony Munoz. Locally, the Bears and Packers have similar needs- Runningback help. Look for the Packers to try and move up to get speedster Joey Galloway from Ohio State who was recently clocked at 4.15 in the forty. If they remain at their current position (22), Tennessee's James Stewart would fill their runningback need nicely. As for the Bears who pick in the #21 position look for them to go after Colorado's Rashaan Salaam who would be an excellent compliment to FB Raymont Harris. As for some of last years contenders Dallas will be in search of a center and Wisconsin's Cory Raymer might still be available when they pick late in round one. San Francisco desperately needs to replace the loss of Ricky Watters- look for them to try and trade up and get Michigan's Tyrone Wheatley. San Diego needs help badly in the cornerback position as was evident in last year's Super Bowl when they were burnt early and often. Creative Activities at Parkside?

Students to represent Uw-p at budget hearing in Kenosha by Jim Hendrickson "I'm not going to pretend there. are any easy answers," said Tedi Wi nnett, at a recent workshop on planning budgets on limited incomes. "It doesn't matter how much you have; it's how you manage it." The State of Wisconsin has more to spend than the average family offour, but it still has some budget difficulties. For instance, many people at UWParkside are concerned about the possible closing of the Office of Teri Jacobson Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA). An open hearing on the proposed state budget will be held Wednesday, April 19, at the conference center of Gateway Technical College, located at 3520-30th Ave. in Kenosha. "There are many points of concern in the budget and making iegislators available to discuss concerns is just an act of good government," said State Representative Jim Kreuser (DKenosha). "I have recei ved phone calls and letters on issues ranging from medical assistance and gasoline fee increases to student financial aid and the elimination of the Department of Public Instruction," said Kreuser. "I understand that there are many concerns with this proposed budget, and 1 want people to be able to voice their concerns." Students speak with Cohen, applicant for UW-P Vice Chancellor by Pamela Bradshaw News Writer Howard Cohen, The University of Wisconsin Parksides Interim Vice Chancellor and candidate for the position, was interviewed by students on April 5th. He was the second finalist interviewed in a series that will conclude April 28. Cohen is also a finalist for the same position at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Regarding the selection process he commented, "This is like a vacation. 1 get to go out and talk to people today instead of being chained to my desk." Nathan Pieper, president of SOC and co-coordinator of GLO, asked Cohen why he wanted to remain at Parks ide. "Universities like UWP ...are places that were started ... to provide access to university education to a broader range of people. "These are the places where the action is in higher education. This is where the concept of what a university education means is still being worked out. I think anybody who's interested in making a difference in higher education ...would want to be in a place like this." Tommy Richie, president of PSGA, asked Cohen what changes State Senator Joe Andrea and Representati ve Bob Wirch plan to attend the hearing. "I have long been an advocate of local hearings in the evening. It helps keep government close to the people - where it belongs," said Andrea. At a recent meeting in Milwaukee, the Joint Finance Committee refused to hear the protests of hundreds of people. Those who did speak were allowed 30 seconds to express their opinions on the 3000-page state budget. The Kenosha hearing will be open to the public, and it will he would like to make if he became the Vice Chancellor. "We have obligations to prepare students for citizenship and obligations to prepare students for a career. "What I mean by that is the kind of things that you Howard Cohen need to learn in a university to be an active participant in tbe society that you live in and go out prepared to improve it and change it. You also come to the university hoping to be prepared to ...make a career choice where you can do things that will be personally satisfying to you. "I think for the last 50 years or so in higher education we've seen that as a kind of conflict. Should the curriculum be more geared towards citizenship or should it be more geared towards career preparation.

Cohen listed skills he felt would prepare students for both career and citizenship: c o rn m u n ic a t io n/ skills, information Iiteracy ski lis, teamwork and a "carefully thoughtout reflective perspective about the world around you. "The challenge for the university is to design a curticulum that prepares students so when they graduate they will be accomplished in those things. Our job is to ... identify whal...a successful, accomplished graduate needs to be able to do. Then to look back in the curriculum and make sure we've designed the curriculum so that when a student goes through he'll be prepared in that way."

The Ranger News Is published by students of the University of wteoonsln-Parsslde who are SOlely responsible for the editorial policy and content contained herein. p Maria1s Melange by Maria Smith Ranger columnist Earlier this semester I was assigned a news story. The story was Sarah Rahri's death. I did the story and it appeared in our first edition of the year. After that, as a news writer, I was through with Sarah. As a 000- Christian, I would only begin to get to know her. During the interview process with Sarah's fiance, Andy Boedecker, I first became curious about Sarah's faith and the faith of all of whom she'd left behind. Andy seemed almost too joyous to me. JL really bothered me. After the interviewing was over, Iwrote "Sarah's Story" and walked away. Or so I thought For the next week following the story, Ihad a hard time getting to sleep. I kept thinking about Sarah's faith in God. I also thought about the possibility of the "heaven" they'd all been so sure Sarah had gone home to. I began to ask questions in my own mind. The torment as to my question about the existence of God began. When I did the phone interview with Andy he told me he was a finance major and was going to be in my class when the semester began. He forgot to tell me what he looked like so the first day of class I found myself looking for a "Christian." As the students filed in I saw a very quiet, almost submissive-looking guy wearing a tie enter the room. Iwas sure that was him. Iturned and introduced myself. He didn't know who the heck I was. 1 picked the wrong guy. Ilooked around the room for what Ithought a Christian might look like and couldn't see anyone who fit my preconceived stereotype. Finally, I heard somebody call his name. I looked up and saw a guy with a Chargers cap on (he was obviously misguided when it came to football) and a sweat shirt, jeans and sneakers. "Could this be the Christian?" Iwondered. "He doesn't look like a Christian." I began to realize that my stereotype of Christians was a misguided as Andy's choice for a football team (Dolphins-Superbowl 1997-Marino rules). Sorry, I've been wanting to do that all year. After class that day Iapproached Andy and introduced myself. Although he was very nice, Iwas still bothered by the fact that he was acting too happy for someone who had just lost a loved one, Sarah. I knew that his belief in God, Jesus and eternity with the Lord was the connection between Sarah's death and his ability to accept it. I then asked him if I could talk with him for a moment about God. We found a comfortable place to sit and Ibegan to ask questions about God. Everything I asked had a negative flavor to it. I was very angry with this God because I didn't know whether or not to believe in his existence. I just knew that Icouldn't stop asking questions. I couldn't stop searching for answers. As time passed, J began to meet One Liberalls Opinion Barb Churchill Ranger columnist Well, as last week, I've got a lot to talk about but very little space to do it in. I've heard from a trusted PSGA source that many people have checked out election packets, more people than last time. So, some of you out there aren't as apathetic as you appear! That surprises me, but also pleases me. Just remember, VOTE THIS TIME! If you wish a few endorsements, here they are: Teri Jacobson, Ami Orava, Jason Weniger, and Tyson Wilda should all be elected Senator. They are committed and qualified, and all of them have impressed me with their intelligence and work ethic. Ami Orava was elected in the disputed election, but already has been to a couple of UC meetings, and has been appointed OMSA liaison to DC. Tyson Wilda is concerned about Tommy's proposed budget, and has worked with Ten Jacobson to try to keep it from happening. Jason Weniger has been to numerous UC meetings, and is well-versed in all the PSGA ins and outs. These people can change PSGA for the better-give them a chance! Tommy's proposed budget still makes my skin crawl. Why is it that Parkside, the UW -Center Schools (2 year institutions, who already have small budgets), and other small schools get hit hardest? What is it about Tommy Thompson, anyway? And Why do the Regents always cut the little guys first? Why can't Madison or Milwaukee take the hit, for a change? (Because they would complain effectively, that's why.) When you think of Parkside, the phrase "first and worst" should come to mind. And that is very sad. The other UW school newspapers that I've read in recent weeks are also discontent, but only one school is doing anything at all about the problem. That school is Whitewater. They are organizing protests and sending cards, all with the intent of stopping the damage before it starts. The effort has so far gone unnoticed, but hopefully it will be like water on a stone: eventually, the Whitewater students will just erode the resistance away. Oshkosh, Stevens Point, and Superior seem concerned, but relieved that it doesn't appear to be worse. The problem with that attitude is that it can not change anything for the better. The assumption "it could be worse" is always unassailable. How about trying "it could be better" instead? Then, we could fight for what we need and want as UW ~ System students (as well as taxpayers.) But that would be too easy. However, for the non-apathetic, caring and concerned students out there, there is something that you CAN do. This thing is to attend the hearing at Gateway Technical College, Kenosha, at 6 PM on Wednesday, April 19th in the Conference Center. This is the only proposed budgetary hearing in Southeastern Wisconsin, and we need to go there and show our anger. If we do, perhaps something will change. Even if it doesn't, it will be beyond belief if politicians try later to say that they didn't know how upset we were! But we must try. If we don't, then maybe we deserve what we' n get: the shaft. Quote of the Week: "People always use the same old argument: 'I can't do it all, so I'm not going to do any.' And they don't." Lois McMaster Bujold, Mirror Dance ~ 3 'Thank you, Sarah! more Christians. They were all so willing to try and help me with my struggle with God. They were all so patient. Still, in spite of all of their efforts, Ineeded more proof. Finally, Ireached a point of utter frustration. I became so broken in spirit because no one could furnish the proof I so desperately needed. I decided to give up. But the next morning Iwoke with Sarah's faith on my mind. It wouldn't go away. A few days later Ifound myself deeply depressed over the whole question of God. Iwas driving in my car as a song came on the radio (actually it was a tape that I had just bought). It was entitled "Here Comes the Flood" by Peter Gabriel. The words blew me away. Tears started rolling from my eyes. Warmth filled my heart. I couldn't explain why, but Ifelt something beyond what the words were saying. I went home and laid on my bed and listened to the song again and again. About a half hour later I felt Him. The questions were gone. I knew God was real. Not because of a song or because of any proof, but because I felt Him. Ireally felt Him. Itwas the most moving experience of my life, realizing that He was real. I literally jumped for joy. I called everyone I knew to tell them what I'd found. What Isearched for was God. What 1 found was love. I found God and then felt the deepest, purest love of my life. I finally realized why Andy felt a certain joy. He kept telling me he knew Sarah was with her Savior. Finally, Ibelieved. Since Sarah's death Ihave had the pleasure of meeting many people who knew her. I love hearing about her life. I met her family and they were just as special as I'd imagined them to be. This past weekend I had an opportunity to view the memorial services of Sarah Rahn as they were recorded on video. It was a beautiful, moving service. There were approximately seven hundred people there to say goodbye to Sarah. Many who spoke of her recalled funny, happy memories of Sarah. I felt like I'd gotten an even closer glimpse of her because of their recollections. After the memorial service was over on the video, there Observations were recordings of different concerts that Sarah was a part of. You see, she was a beautiful singer. When I heard her voice Ijust melted. What a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice and and even far greater faith in the Lord. As Iwatched that video, the words ''Thank you, Sarah" carne into my mind. You see, it was Sarah's unrelenting faith in the face of her terminal illness and the faith of all whom she'd left behind that got me asking questions about God, which led me to the answers.J'll never forget what her mother said to me (this was before Ibecame a Christian) just weeks after Sarah passed away. She said, "Sarah was always concerned with the spiritual well-being of people. There have been many people who have come to know the Lord as a result of Sarah's life and as a result of her death." I finally know what she meant by that statement. To Sarah, I'd like to say thank you and not goodbye, but "see you later," as I'm sure that I will. Be Careful What You Wish For approach. USA Today has reported that lobbyists are in fact writing some Republican bills. This is no change from the former masters of the House. We can give thanks to our forefathers for providing a more deliberative body know as the Senate. Most of the damage done in the House will not survive in the Senate. Vet even in the Senate the Republicans are scary, there are too many Jesse Helms, Strom Thurrnonds and (God help us all) Phil Gramms and not enough Nancy Kassenbaums and William Cohens, The Republican party I was at ease with twenty years ago is not one I am comfortable in now. J may have leaned Republican, but the party of Gingrich is not the party ofFord (or I would argue Tommy Thompson). Professor Hayward told me recently that he thought Ihad to be too intelligent to be that conservative, I think he is right. I want no part of a Republican party that identifies itself with Phil Graham or Pat Buchanan. Compared to that, Clinton and the Democrats look better all the time.

Nelson Dear Editor, Ihope that by publishing this letter it catches the eye of those in charge of the large glass windows found throughout Parkside. Many different kinds of plants and animals can be found amidst the beautiful campus of Parkside. The shrubs and trees encompassing the University render it with an aesthetic quality that is cherished by many. Numerous large windows enable those inside to catch a glimpse of the natural beauty outside. Unfortunately the very picture the windows let us view, reflect out a mirror image of that scenery. To the many birds attracted to our campus it is a shame that so many are killed every year by these windows. The most notorious of them are those on the west side of Greenquist and those surrounding Main Place. Today [ found a dead Golden-Crowned Kinglet outside of Molinaro and finally wrote this long overdue letter. We owe to the birds this campus attracts, protection from these deathtraps. Some cheap paper hawks or owls taped to these windows would save many birds, cost little, and detract nothing from the view. Let's see if something can be done.

Extreme performed a sold-out, general admission concert on April I at the Vic Theater in Chicago. Opening for them was another group from Boston, Flesh; similar to Extreme in music type, performance, and even looks, because the lead singer and guitar are brothers of Extreme's lead and guitar- Gary and Nuno. Flesh did well, but the crowd was not enthusiastic; they are not that well known yet. Extreme's performance brought the crowd to life! I had seen Extreme in concert quite a few times before, and they did not disappoint me. by Mike Schaefer No, its not a typo. Nor is "observating" a word, although it sounds like it should be and if it were Ibelieve it would read in the dictionary as "observate, n: to see, to contemplate and to learn a truth; to observe, ponder and realize." Anyway, this week I've observated a whole lot (choke on that one), and one thing I've observated (if I write it enough, I'm hoping a professor will inadvertently use it in a lecture)(please let me know if that happens),well, I guess I always knew this, but there's a big difference between 'knowing' and 'K-nowing', is tbat people who have something to show you will do so no matter how obviously you care not to be led down that trail. To illustrate I had a wonderful story about my grandmother, a surgical scar and an otherwise uneventful meal. However, due to a particular editor's fear of public outcry against a particular aspect of my story ... Suffice to say the scar was below the beltline, the otherwise uneventful meal blah-blah-blah and you can guess the rest but you've missed the poignancy of the occasion and whatever I had to say about what I observated has been lost. Forever. So, failing to properly convey' the magnitude of that experience, something else I observated recently: people who aren't true to themselves. A friend of mine Katy Stephan, owns a store in downtown Racine called The Main Idea. She sells rubber stamps, oodles and oodles of cards for all occasions and the types of T-shirts tourists coming to Racine would buy. Its cool. You should bop on in. Anyhoo, as I was buying cards and chatting about how she could get some free ( !J5 The exciting new drummer, Michael Mangini, was certainly no disappointment either! Nuno's captivating guitar solo, "Midnight Express," was incredible. A medley of their older music gracefully blended with the new. The audience sang along. Wonderful! There were some technical difficulties, however. None were severe enough to delay the show for very long. Surprisingly, Extreme only played for an hour and a half (probably because Gary was quite ill). The audience hungered for more, but there was only one encore. In addition to the new drummer, their "new look" included other changes. Gary went from a head full of fluffy curls to a head full of almost nothing. The bass player advertising for her store (The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Recine) some guy pulled up in front of her store (The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Racine) and she (Katy Stephan, owner of The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Racine) said, "I bet he goes into Racine News" which, for those of you wbo don't know, is a porn shop. Now, an aside here. I know (I've observated) my subject material usually hovers around the almost-crude to the way-beyondcrude, things one doesn't speak of in polite company and doing things that look none too coolon a business resume. Well, life isn't a business resume. As much as life is about being a good parent, cleaning your room, eating your vegetables, crossing your 't'sand dotting your lower case 'j' s, life is also about not letting anyone know you just broke wind, getting lost during a night of binging in the French Quarter and parking in the handicapped space while you run in for cigarettes. As important in life as good hygiene is, sometimes you just gotta wipe your nose on your sleeve or scratch yourself. And, I've found, its when people are doing those things that "you just shouldn't do" that people are as 'real' and as interesting as they're ever going to get. So, when I write about my friend who was arrested for white slavery or the time I was making salad for a dinner party, chopped off a piece of my finger, couldn't find the piece and served the salad anyway or that this rough draft was written while I was buck naked and dripping from a recent shower or my grandmother's surgery scars or some guy walking into a porn shop, well...now you know. These are the things we really are and they're infinitely - 4 ~ jJ Jour Pat cut his hair a bit shorter, changed to a darker shade of blond, added a mini-beard and mustache. Nuno shortened his dark-brown hair and dyed it a shocking golden blond. The new look is drastically different, but they still look great! Overall, it was an extraordinary concert, one of the best I've seen. For the first time I got to see the band after the show! And to those of you who have heard that Nuno is unfriendly and inconsiderate to fans, that information is far from the truth. Nuno and the other three are the sweetest guys I've ever met. So, if you have a chance to catch the "Punchline '95" tour, don't hesitate to buy your tickets. The show is well worth every penny you have to pay and every mile you have to travel!

The so called "SO's" seem to be making a strong comeback. There's no way you can think of the 19S0's and not think of Duran Duran. When MTV first hit the air waves these guys were pegged at keeping it on the air. They not only revolutionized the music videos we rely on today, but they were always on top of the pop music scene with fresh new sounds. Well now it's 1995 and Duran Duran has made another strong comeback with their new album "Thank You." "Thank You" is an album in wbicb Duran Duran covers some of their favorite songs of the past. They tend to be artists and/or songs that have influenced them the most, hence the name "Thank You." From Led Zeppelin to Public Enemy, this album has a taste of everything. This was an album that took some time being put together_It was recorded around the world from 1992 to 1994. One pleasing thing that I can say about Duran Duran's cover album is it sounds exactly like the original? The real task is to make the song your own, and this is what Duran Duran does on each and every track. (Thankfully!) The opening track of this album, "White Lines," is sure to bring back some memories. Duran Duran has taken this song and made a dance track out of it, that all together, seems to rock, groove, and rap all at the same time! With a rip roaring guitar, upbeat rhythm, and guest appearance by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, the song is destined to hit the charts once again. Another stand out of the album is a cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay." Again, Duran Duran does an incredible job on this song. Simon Le Bon's voice does the song justice by incorporating a nice smooth feel to the song. A surprise to me was to hear a cover of the controversial hit by Public Enemy, "911 is a Joke." On this track Duran Duran keeps the rap groove in the song along with an acoustic bluesy feel. Don't get me wrong though, the "thump" of the bass is still in there! Probably one of my favorite songs on the album is a cover of the song "Success" originally done by Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Simply put, this song is both upbeat and refreshing, with Duran Duran's signature written all over it. Two songs that I have to say that are done exceptionally well are covers of the Door's "Crystal Ship," and Led Zepplin's "Thank You." In both songs Duran Duran incorporates the eerie feeling of the original artists in their own way. The end result are two great songs that respectfully pay tribute to the original artists. Duran Duran is one of the few "pop" bands from the SO's that are still going strong. Their survival is due primarily to the fact that they don't stray from their true sound. They may change it, or improve it here and there, but it still, and always will sound like Duran Duran. "Thank You" is another chapter in a long and prosperous future for Duran Duran. They truly deserve our "thanks" for a great effort on a thoroughly enjoyable album. ONE C;URU·S OPiNiON? by Barb Churchill the alternative guru herself In the past few columns, I've summarized several alternative albums, and by now you might be wondering, "What constitutes alternative music, anyway" After all, a lot of music is categorized as alternative when it really isn't, and that really confuses the issue. How can all of these bands really be alternative? Or is this just a plot to increase record sales? Let's look at the five best-known Seattle bands, and talk about whether these bands are really alternative, or just labeled that so that their record sales will increase. The five bands are Nirvana, Soundgarden. Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Pearl Jam. Alternative offers the listener a change from the normal partyrock that characterizes most of rock radio's airwaves (Van Halen, for one). It usually offers diffcrent sounds, unusual rhythmic content, superior musicianship, and topical lyrics. The musicians specializing in "alternative" usually have a better than average knowledge of music. That is because the "alternative sound" requires better quality of musicianship in order to pull it off. The songs sound more like classical cornpositi ons ; and less like cacophonous noise. Since alternative music, by definition, requires outstanding musicians to play it effectively, this means that some well-known bands are definitely NOT alternative. Pearl Jam is not alternative. Stone Temple Pilots also are not alternative. These bands use tried and true rock formulas, and the same three chords over and over again. (One of Pearl Jam's songs uses only one chord, and the same rhythm throughout. How boring.) Their best songs have a monotonous drone to them. (But it sells, so they keep on doing it.) These bands often get lumped into the "alternative" category, but they shouldn't be. The reasons that they do is because I) they are from Seattle, home of some of the best alternative bands and 2) some of their songs feature topical lyrics. Stone Temple Pilots first album varied between alternative-like ("Creep") to straight-ahead rock nonsense. (Take "Plush," please!) Their second album, although much better in quality, took more of its influence from the Rolling Stones rather than Nirvana or Alice in Chains. Both Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots sound like they just stepped out of someone's garage, and seem to have little or no knowledge of how to play music. Their rock predecessors seem to be 80's Foreigner, the above-mentioned Stones, or possibly even Elton John (as in, good to listen to if it's on, but then forget it!). If you truly want a newer sound (like alternative), skip them. The other three bands from Seattle are definitely alternative bands. All three (Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Sound garden) feature songs that have unusual chord changes, non-traditional rhythmic patterns, topical lyrics, and superior musicianship. Their songs are intricate, unlike other rock groups. For instance, "Nutshell"(Alice in Chains) features superior bass and guitar playing, and "The Man Who Sold the World" features excellent singing by Kurt Cobain and good guitar playing. "Real Thing" (Alice in Chains) is about cocaine abuse, and features lyrics like "I'm going down the steps of the white line ... straight to nowhere." Nirvana has songs like "Lithium," which has lyrics like "I'm so ugly, but that's OK ...so are you." "Fell on Black Days" highlights despair, because the guy just can't seem to have anything good happen to him. "Whatsoever I feared has ... come to life. And whatsoever Isought out...became my life." These lyrics highlight the despair thai Generation X-ers Final Notice feel about life in general. The reason alternative is a good label to put on nonalternative records (such as Weezer, which really is country, and Offspring, which is really punk) is because the lyrics tap into the generalized discontent that we Gen-Xers feel about life. We realize that we will be the first group of people that will do worse financially than our parents. We are expected to support the baby-boom generation's Social Security needs, despite the fact that they outnumber us 2 to 1. We are the generation that has grown up with the atomic bomb, the higher divorce rate, Vietnam, and AIDS. (Is it any wonder that we think that life generally stinks?) When groups come along like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Nirvana, and they highlight very real problems in our lives, we have to be moved. If they do these things with the high level of musicianship that they have, so much the better! These groups don't play the same three chords, over and over and OVER again, until you are sick of them. Instead, they offer real change, with timely lyrics and a fresh approach. So, give them a try if you haven't already. And remember, just because it comes from Seattle doesn't mean that it's alternative.

Come to a free workshop at the South West Library in Kenosha Activities Room 7979 38th ave bring a dream! Sponsored by ECKANKAR The University of WisconsinParkside softball team's record will stay at 25-6 through the weekend as both doubleheaders scheduled for Saturday and Sunday have been cancelled due to the weather. The Rangers had been scheduled to play twin bills Saturday at Northwood University in Midland, Michigan and Sunday at Ferris State but heavy rains caused the cancellation of both. None of the games were rescheduled. Others receiving votes (in alphabetical order): Cal. State Dominguez, Columbus (Georgia), Morningside (Iowa), New Haven (CT), Sacred Heart (Conn), UW-Parkside In Case You Missed It C. J. Nelson Hey, Terry the Bell's Rung: Maybe some one should have shouted that to boxer Terry Norris on Saturday. Norris struck a low blow to Junior Middleweight Luis Santana just before he decked him seven seconds after the bell rang ending the third round. This is the third fight Norris has lost due to disqualification. NFLing Around: Dave Wandstadt continues to change the Bears. Last week Tom Waddle took his sure hands to Cincinnati and Trace Armstrong was traded to Miami. Bronco line backer Pat Swilling is headed to the Raiders, Herschel Walker moved up 1-95 a few miles to the N.Y. Giants. Miami also took corner hack Terrell Buckley of the Packers hands for past considerations. Mastering the Links: Ben Crenshaw paid his respects to his mentor Havey Penick (who died last Sunday) by winning the 1995 Master's Green Coat. Crenshaw tied golf great Ben Hogan for the second lowest score in Master's history. Picking up the Split: The Cleveland Cavaliers managed a split against the Chicago Bulls over the weekend. His airness missed on a buzzer beater on Sunday allowing the Cav's a one point win. The preceding Friday Michael Jordan set a record for career points allowed by a Cleveland team. Jordan has scored over 1,500 points against the Cavs in his career. Jordan is to the Cavaliers what Michael Schmidt is to the Cubs. We Told You, Didn't we: This is what owners appear to be saying to baseball players. As predicted by the owners, small market teams began unloading highly talented players they could not afford. Gone from Montreal are Marquis Grissom, Larry Walker, John Wetteland and Ken Hill. K. C. waived bye to 94 Cy Young winner Dave Cone, catcher Mike McFarlane and outfielder Brian McRae. Dispatch from Camp Unemployment: Free agent players looking for a 95 home are working out in Homestead, FI. Players such as Mariano Duncan, Jody Reed, Howard Johnson, and Chris Saba are hoping for a call from a major league club. Pay Cut: Players who have signed have seen the salary go down. Dave Stewart, Mariano Duncan, Pat Borders, Bob Welch and B. 1. Surhoff are among players who have seen their pay decrease by almost 2 million dollars or more. Amazing Grace: Cubs first baseman Mark Grace agreed to slay on Chicago's north side for the 95 season. The south side Sox made a run for his services (Frank Thomas even agreed to be a full time DH if Grace went south) but Grace decided to remain a Cubby. The Cubs also acquired Center Fielder Brian McRae from K. C. fat 2 minor league pitchers. Hit the Road Jack: That's what the Chicago pale hose (White Sox) let ace pitcher Jack McDowell do. The Sox corrected this problem hy signing lefty Jim Abbott for 95. The Sox also signed outfielder Mike Deveraux. They still have not got a bona fide bat to protect Frank Thomas. As it stands now the only strike Frank is likely to see all year is the first pitch of the season. As I See It: Quick picks based on players moves so far: AL East: Any of four teams, NY, Baltimore, Boston or Toronto the only sure thing in this division is that Detroit will finish last. AL Central: Sorry Sox fans the Indians are for real. Cleveland, White Sox, Kansas City, Minnesota, Milwaukee. AL West: Seattle gets the nod over Texas, with the A's and Angels following. NL East: Atlanta is several steps above the rest. The rest includes Philadelphia, Florida, the Mets and the Expos. NL Central: I would like to say the Cubs but I can't. Cincinnati gets the slight nod over the Astros (who will wild card) then comes the Cards, Cubs, and Pirates. NL West: Surprise, the Rockies win the west over the Dodgers.

Diane Welsh, assistant director of student life stated that the committee was "pretty diverse ...and could not come La a specific consensus aboutwhat should be done." "On one side of the issue someone representing athletics and the athletic board whose primary interest is in "cruitrnent.i.ano then on the other side there's the chairperson of the segregated fee allocation committee and myself as an advisor to the committee, whose primary focus is on the equity of the issue," Welsh said. Welsh described some of the feedback received at the public forums, "What we did hear from the StUdent athletes was that financial Package alone isn't usually the only factor in deciding where to go to SChool. It's also the reputation of the athletic team, the coach, the academic programs offered hear" .." There was also the suggestion that, "perhaps there would be a possibility of offering some waivers ...if it really is important for recruitment maybe we will pay for 25, or 30, or 40 waivers to recruit star athletes and divide it by gender." The good athletes could still have their tuition wavered, but would have to pay their own fees. "When you pay tuition you really pay a third of the cost of your instruction, the state is paying two- thirds ... so if you're an athlete we wouldn't get your third, but we still get the two-thirds. For segregated fees we don't get any, which means our costs are still the same," however, the other students pay the student athlete's portion of the fees, according to Welsh. If the segregated fees policy is changed the committee did agree that they wouldn't change the rules for students who had already been recruited under the current policy. "If we charge athletes student fees ...it could decrease your student fees by about twenty dollars a year, or, without an increase, it could add about $60,000 into that pool," Welsh said. Chancellorls House no more Now to be University House Rumors. "You heard, [but] you didn't come to me," said Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith. Rumors about closing the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) have been persistent, and they have inspired a rally, a meeting, and a whole lot of ribbons. OMSA may suffer reorganization as a result of the budget cuts, which have yet to be announced. A BnRC (Budget and Review Committee) proposal dated February 28, stated, "Office of Multicultural Student Affairs: It appears as jf a number of functions previously performed by this office have been to other areas i.e. advising and pre- college program. Staffing efficiencies may be realizable by combining functions." A. Anthony Flores, member of PSGA and HOP (Hispanic Organization at Parkside) saw a copy of a draft proposal to this effect.

It will be separate from the current dorms, but still serve as vital space for potential new students. This proposal was the foundation, the core, for the other two proposals. Without the Building Commission's approval of the dorm expansion, the outlook would be grim, but this fear has subsided {Q a point. "The Building Commission was a big hurdle," said Streeter, but even though the proposal will now go before the General Assembly and the Senate of Wisconsin, he said that "we're very confident at this point." The Building Commission consisted of Governor Thompson. a citizen member by the name of Bryce Styza, serving as the citizen's watchdog. appointed by Thompson. and six senators and representatives from Wisconsin, also appointed by Thompson; Sen. Brian Rude, chair of The Higher Education subcommittee. Rep. Sheryl Albers, from the subcommittee, Sen. Fred Risser. from the Administrative Affairs Committee, Sen. Carol Buettner, from the same committee, and Rep. Carl Due, from the same committee too. "Considering the tightness of the governor's budget, the University fared well in the Building Commission's deliberation," quoted Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith from a press release. "Additional student housing is critical to the growth of the University .... Area legislators, alumni, and community support were instrumental in influencing the commission." An architect for the new resident halls will be pursued immediately. Streeter wanted to assign an architect for this project last fall, but The Department of Administration (DOA) wanted to wait and find out what the Building Commission's decision was first. When the design phase is finished, the project will be reviewed and given final authorization. Even though the dorm expansion 'is targeted for completion by 'he FalJ of 1997, Senator Kohl donates gift for UW- Madison arena Senator Herb Kohl gave $25 million to the construction of UW-Madison's new basketball sports arena. The donation is the largest gift ever received by the UW System. Kohl's gift, according to UW officials, is vital to the building of the new arena, which will cost $72 million to complete. $27 million dollars was approved for the arena earlier in the week by the building commission. The remaining $20 million will need to be raised. The arena will be used mainly for basketball, but will also accommodate other sports events such as ice hockey. Kohl mentioned that he hoped the arena would assist the basketball program, especially in recruiting. Kohl, who attended Uw-Madtson in the 1950's is the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team, and is among the wealthiest of the US senators. Chancellor, continued from page 1 of UW-Parkside since May of 1994. She had been vice president for academic affairs at William Paterson College of New Jersey. Smith replaced Sheila Kaplan who left in 1993. John Stockwell served as the interim chancellor from 1993-1994. Asked why the inauguration took place a little less than a year after she became chancellor, Smith explained that she didn't want to have the ceremony in October of last year as planned. She wanted to know the campus better. cheapest, classiest one that l've ever seen." And this wasn't just a social event, said Smith. "Keeping our mission in mind; Bringing Racine and Kenosha communities to Parkside and Parkside to the Racine and Kenosha communities. " The official ceremony followed the Friday night performance of "Black Heritage: History I Music and Dance," a multi-media performance which Smith created as part of her work towards her doctorate. Smith became has been chancellor for our institution and location," said Smith With budget cuts threatening many areas at the university level, it was voiced by some that $17,000 was too much to pay for an inauguration. "I could hire a couple of people on what what they are spending on this," said one administrator. "I've seen people pay hundreds of thousands for inaugurations," said ~mith. "$\7,000 for that is nothing. Many bring in guest speakers and last Sunday through Monday. We kept it as simple as possible. This was the OMSA, continued from page 1 you. At Johnson Wax, for instance, there is no circle just for women, just for African Americans, just for Hispanics, just for Asian Americans. There is one circle: the Johnson Wax circle .... Eventually, we want to make [this university} one big circle that is a teaching and learning environment." Smith also told the group of the budget-cutting process. "To date, the Administrative Council has not decided," she said. "We just got a figure to deal with." "When we cut the budget, we may not keep it [OMSA} as it is," said Smith. The Administrative Council is composed of Smith, Marilyn Foster Kirk, William Streeter, Gary Grace and Howard Cohen. The council must complete the budget process by April 15. When it does, Smith reassured those assembled that they would not hear about il through channels or rumor. "I will inform you ... about our recommendations." Objections will not be accepted then, but a chance to do so will be allowed at open meetings to discuss the budget. and "it's not in our hands [yet}," as he said, he still feels that positive answers are in store for the future of Parkside. The Phy Ed. expansion's proposal got half of what it wanted - providing nearly half of the original $9.1 million proposal, The project will require $3.8 million in general state- funded borrowing and $670,000 from non-Slate sources. The $4.465 million project does not include a new field house, wrestling combau ves , and more storage space, but it does offer renovations and some new constructions. Among these renovations will be completely remodeled locker rooms that will be bigger and better - accommodated for the new field house when it is eventually built. A co-ed training room will be outside of the men's and women's locker rooms and a whirlpool. A full-size weight room, a dance studio/aerobic fitness room, and three new classrooms will be built as part of some of the new constructions, as well as a new mechanical room for monitoring heating and air conditioning units. This first phase of an overall project will be built to accommodate a hopeful Phase II construction of a field house in the future. Because "phase one doesn't sol ve all the instructional needs or the high demand for open space that a field house can provide," a press release quoted Linda Draft, Director of Athletics, saying, she does "plan to pursue funding for the field house vigorously in the next biennium." According to Streeter, everythirig anticipated for the three phases of food service on this campus ~ the remodeling of the Union Dinning Room servery, the Union Square bar area, and the food court in Lower Main Place - will occur. Plans are in motion. When asked if the construction for each project would be done all together or in stages, Streeter said that "we hope to have it done in cinch . We're going to shoot for the Fall of 1997," said Streeter, admitting that it is an ambitious deadline. "We're going to work hard." With an additional 400 students on campus, there will be a need for more lockers and space in the Phy Ed. building and a need for bigger and better accommodations of food service. "It's very exciting for the University," said Streeter, then informed me that in Parkside's 26 years, there has not been construction of this, or any magnitude, in twenty years - after the Union building was completed. Volunteer of the Week Students are selected as Volunteers of the Week because of their altruistic attitudes, the amount of time shared within the community and the positive impact their service has made in the lives of others. This week's volunteer is Julie Tishken. Julie Tishken is a senior majoring in Sociology with plans of being an elementary school teacher. She enrolled in the Parkside Volunteer Program in November 1994, when she began volunteering at Raymond School in the first grade classroom and at Racine Community Care Center helping in the activities department. Julie is also a member of the UW- Parkside Whale team that visits area schools. Most recently, she was a group aide at the Very Special Arts Festival that was held on campus during spring break. Dee Dee D' Amato, Activities Specialist, at the Racine Community Care Center thinks Julie is a wonderful volunteer. She reported, "Julie is a real good gall She seems interested in the residents and will often initiate things to do. Everyone likes her!" "The nursing home Julie Tishken experience has filled a void in my life, as 1 am not closely involved with my own grandparents." said Julie. "I enjoy learning about the residents and seeing their smiles." Julie has been able to compare the rural and urban schools as well as work closely with special education children. "I like the challenge of working with children with special needs. It makes me feel I can make a difference." Thank you Julie for being there for young and old alike.

The decision about rerunning the elections was finalized Monday, March 27, when PSGA justices decided that only senate Elections would be re-run. Tommy Richie was elected President and Arian Rana Adair-Nichols Vice-President. Those results will stand, said the justices. Reasons for the contestations consisted of irregularities such as several candidates campaigning before others, three election packets being turned in past the deadline, one signature list was two names too short of the fifty needed. a sitting election committee member endorsing a candidate, and a Vice Presidential candidate campaigning too soon. The contestation was held in hopes of running a whole new election.

PSGA student elections contested (the election committee), failed to follow our own rules. There were legitimate rules that were broken and these were direct mistakes that affect people." Carol Tebben, chair of the Political Science department argued that" In life mistakes are made all of the time. There are mistakes in every election. Running a new election is a serious and extreme remedy. There are going to be just as many problems (and contestations) if a second election is run. There is a difference between harmless error and prejudicial error." A motion to rerun the entire election was voted on and a 3·1-0 vote was passed in favor of rerunning the entire election. At the PSGA meeting held later that day two Judicial branch members, Jason Beyer and Matt Stephan, were motioned to vote on the election committee's decision. They could not agree, and the question was determined by the third justice, John Lovell, who was not present. ,Provost search narrows Seven candidates invited to campus for interviews I A d h th T h d i t im provost/vice chancellor include East-West interactions during multiculrural society.

The three year trend of lower spring semester enrollments is one of the key elements forcing this action. PFM presented uni ver sity administrators sales figures from a one month study (February) showing the impact on each of its four operating units. A further breakdown of sales on a typical day by 15 minute blocks of time in each of the units illustrated which of the time periods were actually serving customers and producing sales versus which ones were unproductive. This is what was used to develop the new scaled back hours; the idea to keep the hours where there were customers and a true service was being provided, and eliminating those where sales figures would indicate the service factor was minimal. In addition to this being reviewed by University administration, the information was also presented to two forms of students associated with Residence Life for their reaction and suggestions. Based on student comments, some minor changes were suggested to the original proposal to better accommodate student needs. According to Bill Niebuhr, Director of the Parkside Union and contract administrator for the dining service area. this is the first semester that Residence Life dining sales via their board plans actually surpass in dollar participation that of the rest of the campus. It had previously been a 50/50 split. Some operating hours have not changed much, with hours only differing by 15 to 30 minutes, The areas of biggest change include: the closing of G.R. Deli's Sandwich Shop daily at 4:30 pm, (but making its line of products available upstairs in the Union Dining Room during the supper hour), closing the Wyllie Hall Coffee shoppe at 4 pm daily, and closing Pan D's Pizza & Grill in Union Square mid-afternoon between peak meal hours. Dining Service Director Paul Watkins points out that "many of these changes are temporary for the next seven weeks. We're hoping to restore most of them back to where they were when we reopen next fall." Shifts in customer participation causing the company to be losing significant amounts of money just in order to stay open have prompted the changes. According to Niebuhr, "sales are down by as much as $10,000 dollars a month compared to first semester. The only place to come up with significant savings unfortunately involves people." According to Watkins, "Food costs are a constant regardless of numbers served. And they have been where they should be, We have done some cutting within our own office, first going down to half time and now completely eliminating our bookkeeper position. Plus, we have reduced student manager hours. The rest of the needed hours savings had to come from our hourly workers, forcing us to go to the University with an adjusted schedule. It's something we really didn't want to do. But we had no other choice." Students also spoke about the changes, ''There aren't many choices for us the way it is. Where are we supposed to go now?" said Melissa Hackbarth, a sophomore living on campus. Christina Jellis, a member of the Women's Basketball Team and housing resident said, ''The new hours really conflict with my schedule. Sometimes I have practice from 6 to 9 [pm], which means I don't get home until 9:30110:00. Some athletes have practice until midnight. Where are we supposed to eat that late? I really can't eat that soon before I leave ~ not unless I want to puke in practice." One of the Food service workers said, "I'm looking for a new job. It's bad management." Another said, "We have a lot of upset workers here. They cut our hours drastically," submitted. 3/13/95 Inc 95-185 Fraudulent Driver's License, Housing Office (9: II am) ~ A fraudulent driver's license of a Student was found and turned in to the housing office.

I think it will be very beneficial to the campus," said Possehl. The dorm expansion proposal is asking for bonding authority - in other words, requesting a loan from the state. This pursued loan is, according to Possehl, approximately nine million dollars. This amount would be paid back in a number of ways. Parks ide would be able (0 pay the loan back by the revenue of soccer and church camps, conference programs, and "a variety of other [programs]" throughout the summer, she noted, but the most revenue generated by the University that would go towards the payment of the loan, would be "funded by students," as she pointed out. "We would try to keep rent in line," she said. The cost of residence in the dorms should not rise, because the University would take slightly over 50% of the total revenue that dorm residence would generate and use that, too, as a steady form of payment. They would be simply shifting the donn budget to gear over half of its money towards this program, "It's a major portion," she explained, but it would prove to be beneficial for the University's future. "I'm very hopeful," she said. "Nothing but a positive impact [would occur] on this campus. With a 400-studem increase on this campus, activities, clubs, and social involvement would excel. Also, the dorm expansion would serve as a needed prayer for the proposed food court and proposed expansion of the Phy Ed. building. When asked about the deceased Tuition Award Program (TAP), allowing Parkside to recruit 200 students from northern Illinois at in-state tuition rates, Possehl said that its elimination would not have any significant effects on the Building Commission's decision. She noted that people from Illinois who go to Parkside need housing too. She mentioned in closing that the vacant Chancellor's house will be turned into The University House - a leadership house for next year. the remodeling and relocating costs of their move as an incentive of having their contract extended by two more years. Extensions of contracts will be by two to four years. ''This [idea] has been in existence for over a year," said Niebuhr - explaining that a year ago, students, faculty, and staff were surveyed about a proposed food court. "All of Lower Main Place will be redone." There will be new furniture, and carpeting, as some of the many changes that will occur. However, if the Building Commission says "no" to donn expansion, the concept of a food court may be in jeopardy. Backtracking to Step three, redeveloping a part of the Union Square, and toning down the anticipation of the food court, Niebuhr said this step would close down the Union's bar. "Alcohol sales have dwindled," he said. The Union bar is not in a break-even situation. The reason why the redevelopment of the Union bar is in Parkside's four-step plan, is because another food service concept, attracting national food franchises, could be initialized through the Union. With a food court in Wyllie Hall and food services in the Union Square, Parkside would look attractive on both sides. "We need [a] balance ... Something to balance the population of the Union to the new food court," he said. All steps in the four-step conceptualization are hopeful goals for the future, with the exception of the Union Dining Room. However, Niebuhr said, "The most critical thing [is} whether or not the Building Commission approves of tbe [dorm] expansion." Food Court, continued from page 1 his vehicle removed from the cross country course train. Citation issued and report submitted. headlights. Warning issued for headlights and citation issued for seatbelt violation. Report submitted. PASA offices, to house a food court - similar but on a much smaller scale to those at Southridge, Northridge, and Gurnee Mills. These student organizations will be relocated relatively in the same area, Wyllie Hall, in new and larger offices yet to be constructed. During the entire conversation, Niebuhr reinforced the fact that the proposed food court, which constitutes step four, is just that - a proposal, "It doesn't mean it will happen," he said. 'The most critical thing [is] whether or not the Building Commission approves of the expansion." The pending expansion Niebuhr spoke of involves 400 student openings in the proposed new dorms. If Parkside's Food Court concepts become reality, it will be the first time in the history of the Uw-sysrem that a payment principle of extended food contracts, with potential food corporations, would be the form of payment for the remodeling and building costs of the overall project. "We're Dot going to raise student fees to accomplish this," said Niebuhr. If the proposal of a food court does occur, dining service contracts will be out to bid, starting at a first time-low bid, by the summer of 1996 and at least by the fall semester of 1996, the three organizations, The Ranger, PSGA, and PASA, will have to begin to move. Niebuhr hoped a "potential" finished product would be ready by September 1997. The key element of a successful bid, Niebuhr described, is a company that will invest their time and money into Parkside. Parkside is "asking them to put a substantial amount of money" down, he explained - several hundred dollars, in fact.

Access- getting out into the rural areas, allowing everyone to have that opportunity to participate in and enjoy the arts." Art. is, "8 statement of who we are as a people," says Amhaus, "It is a challenging time that we live in. [Art] is a mirror of what is occurring in our time, in our world." Amhaus states that 60 percent of Americans feel that there should be federal support of the arts. "This is simply a subsidy for the culturally elite," Amhaus states as one of the arguments used against federal support of the arts. "That was exactly what the NEA set out to eliminate," Amhaus says. but if the funding is withdrawn, "you will create a cultural elite." Amhaus said that one of their approaches is to move more funding to the states. He would also like to see the copyright laws changed. Currently, the estate owns the copyright after the death of an artist for 50 years. Amhaus hopes that legislation will be passed so that after the initial 50 years the proceeds from the next 20 years will be given to the NEA. Ultimately he hopes that the NEA moves off tax appropriations entirely, but states that for this to happen, "people have to get involved." By Pamela Bradshaw "Federal funding for the Arts?" was the subject of the March 22nd, Soup and Substance lecture, presented by Dean Amhaus, executive director of the Wisconsin Arts Board. "The general population really doesn't understand where the money is going or what is happening to it," Amhaus said, "It leverages an incredible amount of money. There are 1.3 million jobs because of the non-profit arts community," For every three dollars given in aid, twenty-one dollars is given back to the government, according to Amhaus. The aid, "brings back over three billion dollars in federal income taxes ... There should be increases because it spawns so much economic opportunity." To demonstrate the success of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), Amhaus pointed out that when it was first founded in 1965 there were only 110 orchestras whereas now there are 230. Similarly, there were only 56 non- profit theaters and now there arc 425. Access to the arts is one of the main goals of the NEA. "Before the NEA, people would view the arts as something you had to go to Chicago, New York or Los Angeles Volunteer of the week By Pamela Bradshaw .. . The Intemauonal Religions Society is forming at Parkside with the purpose of discussing the different religions of the world. They are welcoming suggestions for future meetings, to have speakers on religions that people want to learnabout officers of the club are: Rebecca Findley, President; Angela Auxier, Vice President, Arian Adair~Nichols, Treasurer and Ray Lancour, Secretary. Information regarding the time and place of upcoming meetings will be posted around Parkside. The club's first meeting took place on March 20thwith Rebecca Findley discussing the Wiccan religion. "Wicca is the belief that there is one over.all being, but it is split into male and female energies." Wiccans have, "the God of hunting and the Goddess of fertility," according to Findley. "The yeargoes in a circle and the reign of the God and Goddess go in a circle. The God is born in the fall andhe reigns during the winter and in the springs hediesagain and the Goddess takes over." Wiccans celebrate eight holidays during the year that follow the seasonal changes: Yule, [mbolic, Spring Equinox, Beltane, Summer Solstice, Lammas, Autumn Equinox and Samhain. Wicca is, "a very natural religion on the fact that is follows the natural course of the year," says Findley. Addressing the myth that witches ride broomsticks, Findley explains that in the past Wiccans had, "a fertility rite, where in order to make the fields grow they would start a fire in the fieldbefore the harvest would start and they'd jump around the fire on broomsticks and rakes to indicate how high the fields should grow." A man in the audience, well educated in Wicca, who preferred to remain anonymous, spoke about Wicca and it's association with the devil. "Witches do not believe in the devil, he's not part oftheir religious mythology ... the concept of the devil is peculiar to Christianity and one of the Arabic predecessor religions." 'They [Christianity} took the Wiccan God and made him into a devil in order to get people to switch by saying that Wiccans were evil," Findley said. The Christians "had all the pagan temples 10m down and built Christian churches over them in the belief that people would go there to practice." "The main Wiccan tenet is, 'Do as you will and itharm none, so mote it be,"' Findley said, ''That's Whythere's no blood shed in Wiccan circles." The harming none also includes not harming yourself. Wiccans also believe, "if you go and do something good, the good will be returned threefold. If you go and do something bad it will be returned threefold." Wiccans don't have a single holy book. Findley explained that each witch has their own book, "It's , c~led a book of shadows, where we write down different rituals that we have, different spells, you canputjournal entries of how you practice." The bookis usually hand written but some put them on theircomputers. , .The man in the audience emphasized, "You ~ther find your way to the craft in your own good lime,or you don't. We don't ask for converts, we don't go out to recruit. When they find us, when they ask.the first question then and only then, are • • • eoathbound to help them." ,~ Mike Schaefer mans the ropes after Camelot Tuesday, March 21. See page 5 for a review. Health screening, displays highlight at UW-P 95 well day Various free health care services were available to the public during Well Day 95 on Wednesday, March 29 at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside.

She stated, "After I graduate from UW·P, r plan to get my master's degree and pursue a career in Journalism. Reporting for the Ranger has given me a great opportunity to get this career moving in the right direction. Not only have I gained experience, but I have met some very nice people. My writing skills have improved dramatically and as a result, my grades have improved. I think it's very important for everyone to get involved in at least one activity. whether it be a sport, a club or as a volunteer. The experience you gain now can last a lifetime."

From the ones that won, ones who didn't get on the ballot due to procedural problems, and the ones that lost, everyone is mad. Jason Weniger, current PSGA Senator (and possible nominee for VP in a new election) says. 'How can we lead the students when we are lost ourselves?' Exactly, Jason. PSGA is so lost that many Issues, such as the tuition increase and the imminent loss of the OMSA office are ignored. And that is just plain wrong. Tyson Wilda, current PSGA Senator, puts it, '90% of the complaints are procedural, and therefore insignificant. However, the other 10% are vaJid--namely the fact that students don't know how to run for office--and unfortunately, that is something that PSGA has been guilty of for a long time.' Students need to know how to run, where to get the proper forms, and how to get on the ballot. Otherwise, PSGA cannot possibly be a representative student government. . Ami Orava, newly elected PSGA Senator, says, 'Everything else needs the attention that the election is getting.' That, unfortunately, is also true. PSGA never seems to get any attention other than negatively, because it seems that nothing good ever happens. That can't be the Observations Reevaluation? C. J. Nelson Ranger Columnist By writing this column, I open myself up to a significant amount of "I told you so" from a venerated family friend. James Schuldt and I grew up together. Jim became a loyal Democrat and union supporter. As those of you who read this column or who have had me in class know, I tend to maintain a Republican viewpoint. Jim has never been able to understand this. He never tires of reminding me of how much of my organized labor and Democratic party policies. So, to be fair (and I'm tired of listening to his assertions), 1 evaluated his claims, and found some of them to be legitimate. 1 used my family history to test his arguments. My grandfather Robert was a "poor dirt farmer from Illinois" (my father's words). My dad Clyde worked at American Motors from the middle 1930' s until his death in 1968. I have spent a significant amount of time in federal service, and in the recent times as a full time student here at Parkside. How have policies commonly associated with organized lahar and the Democratic party impacted my Grandfather, father, and myself? First off, the advent of farm subsidies helped my grandfather (on both sides of my family, as it turns out) keep and make their farms profitable. The enactment of Social Security was of financial help to both sets of my grandparents. In fact Social Security helped support my sister and I after our father's death (ages 15 and 14 respectfully), and my mother still receives her monthly Social Security entitlement. My sister (who is slightly handicapped) also receives supplemental Social Security assistance. Passage of Medicare and Medicaid programs have also assisted my mother and sister. Organized labor and the change of labor laws during the New Deal allowed our family to attain a very comfortable lifestyle through collective bargaining. It is true that this right was a hard-fought one, but once gained, it allowed for pension and health care benefits that have helped, and continue to help, my family. I have received numerous benefits from programs enacted by and supported by the Democratic party. I am can vinced that most of these programs would not have been passed by the Republican party (the programs are presently Republican targets). 1 receive veteran's benefits enacted under the G.!. Bill (first passed in 1944), including housing loan assistance, medical benefits (including a monthly disability payment), advance education benefits (which I used completely) and certain survivor's benefits. In addition, I have benefited from student loan and grant programs (one area where our current Chief Executive is to be praised) and unemployment compensation help. I have recently learned that 1 will qualify for some help under the Americans with Disabilities Act (I will have more to say about this in a future column). So we have a trip on my family tree from farmer to factory worker to future teacher or History Professor (or so I fervently hope). Intellectual honesty compels me to admit that my good friend James is right. Much of what I had, have and may yet have is courtesy of policies enacted and supported by the Democratic party. Yes, Jim, you are right and you did tell me so. Post Script: There is a saying that goes something like this. "Be careful what you wish for, it just may happen." The Republicans in charge have caused me to re-evaluate. Interested? Will talk about it in this column in the coming weeks. urkside C1ectinn oonti11LlES whole truth, because individual Senators, such as Teri Jacobson and Jeff Weniger, have done impressive things for Parkside. However, when an improper election overshadows things that MUST BE DONE, it is definitely time for concern. Tom Richie, president-elect, was upset about my last column. In it, I mentioned that he's been censured by the PSGA Senate because he's missed four meetings due to traveling to and from wrestling meets. That seems to be an acceptable reason for missing. He said that he wants to implement positive changes, and he wishes to Making Sense Out Of It All Have TV talk shows gone too far? •. On the next Sally by George Harris, Jr. Columnist Every weekday we see people on TV talk shows who have problems which ordinary people couldn't have imagined having on such a grand scale. The wild. the unusual, and the sensational are the domains of the TV talk shows. The more sensational the talk show is, the higher the ratings seem to climb. I must admit that occasionally I get sucked into Montel, Rikki and Jenny. I find myself yelling at the television at the various guests along with the studio audience. However, I feel that the sensationalism these talk shows promote has gotten out of hand. Jenny Jones show, the subject was about secret admirers - a harmless enough subject. Scott Amedure, 32, appeared on the program to disclose his affection for Jonathan Schmitz, 24. Schmitz, however, thought his admirer was going to be a woman because the producers told him that it could possibly be a woman. Quite naturally, Schmitz was embarrassed and humiliated when he found out that his secret admirer was a man. On the show it was reported that he played it off very well although he looked visibly stop the political infighting. He also wants to have our delegation act more professionally at DC meetings. If he retains the presidency in a new election, he needs to implement these ideas into an effective program. Why is it that everyone I've talked to at PSGA says it needs changes? Why is it that Jason Weniger's original solution to the election dilemma (namely, delay the election until the procedural difficulties were cleared up) wasn't followed? And why is it that PSGA can't seem to use its considerable talents to the student's best disturbed. When he got home from the show, he wanted to put the incident behind him. Then Schmitz found a flashing light and a sexually suggestive note from Amedure on his doorstep a couple of days later. This took him over the edge. The police allege that Schmitz then killed Amedure with two shots from a 12-gauge shotgun. To me, Schmitz's actions were not justified. He could have simply gone to Amedure and told him to his face to stop it. Instead now he faces first degree murder charges for being stupid. Are talk shows the blame for his actions? They are no more to blame than the bartender who didn't stop a Milwaukee man who got hurt doing flips in a crowded bar. After all, of the 12-gauge. All Jenny did was to provide the forum for the slain admirer to boldly profess his love on national TV. I don't think we should let the daytime talk shows get off so easily. These shows aren't exactly honest with their guests and audience. The pundits on Night/ine and other talking head shows likened these talk shows to professional wrestling. The reason being, no intelligent person in their right mind would watch either one. My reason Letters to the Editor advantage? It's time to re-run the elections. Make sure that everything is done well this time! Make sure that every student on campus is informed how to run, where to get the forms, and how to get on the ballot! Then, run a fair campaign, free of mudslinging and other insults. Then, and only then, will the election be truly representative of Parks ide. And then, PSGA MUST oppnse the tuition increase, the OMSA closing, and any other student concern. for why they are similar is that no one wants to admit that they watch but, the ratings are still high. I think that daytime talk shows are worst when they deceive the audience, mainly because you are expecting real people with real problems. Sometimes people out and out lie to get on a talk show or, the producers will decei ve the guests to build up the drama. Not all talk shows do this, but it hard to tell anymore who isn't. At least you know pro wrestling is fake, unless someone didn't tell you (in that case I am sorry to burst your bubble). I wouldn't go as far as most pundits to say that these shows foster hate. In fact the hosts go out of their way to be excessively tolerant to their guests. tragedy been avoided? I don't believe so. There was no way of knowing that one of the guests would end up dead. We always think (quite wrongly, J think) that all people have good sense. Will the talk show industry clean up its act? Not as long as the outrageous still sells. Talk shows are here to stay because, like pro wrestling, it is good entertainment. If you don't want to watch, I suggest that you tum off the TV and read a newspaper, a magazine or a good book. repair anything unless we acknowledge pur errors? In short- have we ever apologized for our actions? We might go a long way toward dialogue and mutual understanding were we to make a collective formal apology to any group that we have failed to treat with respect and compassion. The simplest act of regret, an apology- with a promise to do better- has not been offered. This nation owes the African-American community a formal apology for our treatment. Each of us must bear the collective responsibility of the wrongs of our past and our present. We are unable to change what has come before, but we are able to lay down our sorrow for the ignorance of our ancestors, as well as for aUf continued ignorance today. "I'm so sorry," spoken with depth and sincerity, could work great healing on this nation's wounds. Letter to the Editor: To the Editor, I think it's great that UW-Parkside is C.J.

Designers used their dazzling mastery to produce costumes that were utterly amazing. The costumes effectively depicted the carefree attitude of most of the characters. Design and use of all of the sets in the play was very practical. The interchangeable parts allowed for quick scene changes and minimal distraction from the plot. Whoever designed the sets did a very good job of putting together a neutral setting, that could be used for just about all of the scenes. Camelot is a profound, humorous, and witty play about one of literature's most intense saga's. Invigorating charm and humor flows through this play in large amounts.

Lerner and Loewe's play about the King Arthur Saga is nothing even remotely close to any "Masterpiece Theatre" Even I, (the non-biased, objective reviewer) went into the theatre thinking that I could use .the nap. Jeez, was I.ever wrong! From beginning to end "Camelot" was full of Wltt~ sarcasm, and fun, ear catching music. King Arthur, played by James Warwick was an exciting, playful, and intense man: Mr. Warwick has an excellent voice and portrayed all the complexities of a young, and confused king quite well. The charming number "How to Handle a Woman" was very enjoyable and surprisingly right. . Nymph-like, f1itty, and yet very blood thirsty Guenevere (Constance Curtis) was an excellent counter to Lancelot (Daniel Narducci) and Arthur's (Warwick) emotional Intensity.

I can't go through a critique of the band without mentioning the wide range and powerful voice of Paulo Bettencourt. The vocals on this album are nothing less than exceptional. A ballad entitled "I Miss My Baby" shows off only an ounce of the range of Paulo Bettencourt's smooth, but powerful voice. In combining great writing and harmonious choruses, Flesh keeps every song playing over in your head. Don't let the name Flesh mislead you. This band is more than your average Hollywood or Seattle flavor of the month. With their hard rock funk grooves, explosive guitar sound, and harmonious vocals. they are sure to bring back some of the energy that seems to be lacking in today's music scene. (Be sure to catch Flesh live on March 31st at the RAVE in Milwaukee when they open for Extrerne.) well, I believe the same goes for an album. This album doesn't contain the mono-tone drawl that seems to be popular now. Flesh has an album based on the sounds of funky, energetic hard rock. Immediately after popping this album in, you'll notice the unbelievable. blistering. in- your-face guitar style of Markus. "Dancehard," the opening track, as a rip roaring guitar rhythm, backed by a funked-up rhythm section that will get you on the dance floor. "Who Can Love You" is another great example of how Flesh can take a hard rock rhythm and funk it up. "Who Can Love You" is a song that highlights their great talent in song writing. This song is charged with a heavy bass rhythm and raunchy guitar, that provides more grooves than an old record. The chorus, as in many of their songs, is basically addictive. It's a definite plus to see that they can write past the introduction of a song. "Think Too Much" is a very noticeable stand-out on the album. They've taken a groove that is incredibly fast and made a great song out of it. Even though By: Robby Thompson Okay, get ready to take a deep breath and relax! This is a grunge-free zone. Pack your bags and move away from the west coast at least for an hour, and check out some sounds coming in from the east coast. I'm talking about the Boston based band called Flesh. For all the fans of Extreme who know the guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, you may be pleased to find that he produced Flesh's first album on the Colorblind record label. The Colorblind label, a brand new label, is a product of Nuno Bettencourt. Hold on, there's even more coincidence. The lead singer of Flesh, Paulo Bettencourt. just happens to be Nuno's brother. So, if you think this band sounds just a little bit like Extreme, you're right. But believe me, that's a good thing! I can basically say that when first listening to Flesh's new album I was very relieved. I was overjoyed to find an album that is overflowing with raw, hard rocking energy.
