Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE Is It Worfn",·,994 United Council: 75Cents? byJim Hendrickson Feature Editor On September 9 and 10, the United Council of University ofWisconsin Student Governments (UC) met in LaCrosse. The Ranger News wasinformed by the PSGA that the UC iptended in taking a pro-life stand on abortion. The Ranger News wasalso informed that PSGA didnot have enough delegates to vote, and if the UCtook any stand on abortion,the PSGA had decidedto pull out of UC, pendingapproval of the student body in the form of a referendum. Because any decisionofthis kind would be controversial, The Ranger News decided to ask to send a representative to the meeting. It was agreed upon, and I was the lucky one who attended. The other members ofUW-Parkside's five-person delegation were all PSGA veterans: president Jennifer Buchholz,senators Deb Cutler and Chris Bossert, and former vice president Dan Blake. We stopped for supper at the Country Kitchen in Mauston. After dinner was over, Deb Cutler advised Jennifer Buchholz to ask for an extra receipt from the restaurant. By doing this, PSGA could get more money from the University. Cutler said, "It is always done at these things." Cutler also said Program Assistant Karla Zahn would not notice such a discrepancy. President Buchholz did not ask for an extra receipt, despite the chiding from Cutler and Bossert. Because of supper and driving through a hailstorm, the trip to LaCrosse lasted about four-and-a-halfhours. ..The Parkside delegation arrived about ten minutes after the scheduled 8 pm start-time for committee meetings. Committees make recommendations which the General Assembly (composed of all the delegates) either approves or rejects. I was assigned to the Academic Affairs Committee. The Academic Affairs Committee discussed unilateral program cuts, tuition increases, the technology fee increase, student access to teacher evaluations, uniform policy on transfer credits', and sophomore retention at UW- Center schools. The discussion was orderly, and the group produced five resolutions that were bland enough to offend no one. The meeting adjourned at about 11 prn, as scheduled. There was no discussion about abortion, and there were no arguments about semantics. At least one member oftbis committee (from UW-Center Fox Valley) thought it was quite productive. After my committee meeting ended, I adjourned to the TV Lounge to wait for the Staff Changes Announced Several administrative staffchanges have been made at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

Parkside Hires New Police Chief Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document , Issue 2 September 8, 1994 Parkside Hires New Police Chief by Karen Diehl- News Editor recent position was Commanding Officer of the Court Liaison Office. Deane's experience also includes work with an armed robbery unit, serving on the staff of the Deputy Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and operating as Executive Lieutenant of the Homicide section and Lieutenant of the Narcotics Intelligence Unit. He is also a current member fthe United States rmy Reserve, and served seven months in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm. Deane has a Bachelor's degree from Wayne State University in Criminal Justice, a Master's degree from the University of Detroit in Security Administration, and is currently a Doctoral Candidate in dministration and Higher Education at Wayne State University. When Deane took over as UW-Parkside's Chief of Police, he began "making the transition from big city, On Monday, August 15, Robert L. Deane took over as Chief of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Campus Police. Deane officially replaced David Ostrowski, who resigned last October. Thomas Knitter served as interim chief from October 4, 1993 to August 14, 1994. Former Chief Knitter Deane is from Detroit, Michigan, where he had served on the Detroit Police Department. Deane's most municipal policing." Deane acknowledges that the approach of law enforcement used in a big city. such as Detroit, will not work in a small university setting. He stated, "Big city tactics will not work here; they will not be used here." Another of Chief Deane's present concerns is the budget cut that is forecast for the near future. Deane's strategy is to "streamline" the police department and provide the best service with less resources. Deane commented, "We've already begun tightening our belts." The policy of police handguns at UW-Parkside is that officers do not carry arms on their person, but rather have them locked in a strongbox in their cars. Deane wishes to make no change to this policy. "In no sense is this a reflection of the ability or qualification of our officers," he stated. Rather it is, "based on the needs and policy of this university." Deane also mentioned that the officers here at UW-Parkside are fully-certified police officers with full arrest powers, not just "rent-a-cops" or security Robert L. Deane guards. Deane wants UW-Parkside police to be more than just law-enforcement. He oommented, "The university police are here to assist students in any and all ways." Some of the services that will still be offered under Deane's leadership are police escorts, and assisting students locked out of their cars or out of gas. Deane hopes to provide "approachable, friendly aid in times of need." He stated, "My door is always open." Hit-and-Run in Commj Arts Parking Lot The University Police and Public Safety Department needs your assistance in locating a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident. On Friday, September 2, at approximately 3:30 prn, two Concerns Arise Over 2% Technology Tuition Increase. parked vehicles in the Comm Arts Parking Lot were struck, causing considerable damage to the parked vehicles. The offending vehicle left the scene travelling North on Outer Loop Road. The by Karen Diehl News Editor Parkside's Student Government Association (pSGA) is concerned with this hike in tuition. In June, the United Council unanimously passed a resolution which voiced many of their concerns about the proposed increase. Some of these concerns were: the lack of discrimination between different campuses . technology needs, the lack of student control of budget allocation, and the isolation of student leaders from the On August 18, the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents passed a bUdget request which contained provisions for a 2% annual increase in tuition. This increase woul d be used as a Special Technology Fee to help bridge the "technology gap" that has arisen in the UW System. The United Council ofUW Student Governments, which includes offending vehicle is described as a full-size, brown, possibly two-tone, Ford pick-up truck. Damage to the offending vehicle wi1llikely be to the driver's side front bumper and the passenger side rear decision-making process. It was noted in the resolution that "All UW Institutions are not at the same place on the Technological ladder. Students should have the freedom to decide what technology is needed at their particular institution." The current proposal does not account for this. Parkside's Student Government passed its own resolution on May 6. Concerns raised were similar to those of the United quarter of the truck. Anyone having information about this accident or any other crime on campus is asked to contact the University Police and Public Safety Department at 595- Council. PSGA was also worried about tbe lack of a "sunset" clause- there was no cut-off date when this 2% annual increase would end. David Stacy, president of the United Council had similar cares. He stated, "The ongoing tuition surcharge means that technology funding for the UW System will be the sole responsibility of the students, now and forever." Jennifer Buchholz, President of PSG A, stated, 2455. "Your help is needed in order to maintain a safe campus," said UW-Parkside Police officials. "The general feeling is that we do support a technology fund. We just don't support the manner in which it has been done." Despite the concern of the Student Governments, the budget proposal, with the technology fee included, wss passed by the Board of Regents. From here, the proposal goes on to State Legislature where it will be finalized. If the budget is passed and the tuition hike (cent. p, 2) 2 Fall Convocation Goodman, Professor of Biological Sciences.

"American Politics" will cover various areas including electoral college reform, the 1992 presidential election and state budget politics. Topics own student records, upgrading existing computer labs, creating new labs and provide staffing for them, and purchasing a minicomputer for student internet access and electronic mail. Parkside has already offered a plan as to where this money could be used. Such plans include a network of computer "kiosks" which students could use to access campus information and their is approved, the money will be distributed throughout the UW System, probably by student population. This means that larger schools would gain more of the fund than smaller ones. UW- OMSA Open House and lemonade. Adames- Petty, Coordinator of Retention Services, said the open house was a success because of its informality. "It was great to see the Chancellor there and to hear the wide varieties of conversation going on," Adames-Petty said. The informal gathering was a chance for students to talk to their administrators and to their fellow students. and other students. OMSA also emphasizes a multicultural environment which creates an awareness and appreciation of cultural differences. Attending the open house were new faces: Eleanor Smith, Robert Deane, and Nydia Adames-Petty.

Parkside to Begin New Recycling Program Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document UW-Parkside gets Regent approval ror new bUilding addition The University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents on August 19, approved a $9.1 million capital project to expand and remodel the University of Wisconsin Parkside's physical education building. Regent approval is the first step in the process to fund the project. The next step is State Legislature approval to allocate funding for the project. Of the $9.1 million, $1.3 million must come from non- state sources. Last April, UW- Parkside students approved an increase in segregated fees .f$8 dollars a semester per student, beginning this fall. The remaining $700,000 will be raised through a community fund-raising effort undertaken by the University ofWisconsin-Parkside Benevolent Foundation Inc. "We are very pleased about the Regent approval," Chancellor Eleanor Smith said. "Weexpect to work very closely during the next months with local legislators and the Foundation Board to secure the necessary funding. The benefits of the project will be reflected in improved educational facilities, additional space for athletics and extracurricular activities and provide for important contributions to the regional economy." Features of the proposed building include a 60,000- square-foot field house, an NCAA regulation indoor track, three classrooms. expanded locker rooms, additional racquetball courta, a new dance studio, renovated and expanded training and weight rooms and a lifetime wellness center. The new field house will be the largest free-span space in southeastern Wisconsin is intended to handle large events for both collegiate and community use. The existing physical education building, constructed in 1972, was designed primarily for men's intramural and intercollegiate team sports. A field house was part of the original plan. However, state budget cutbacks prohibited a new field house. "UW-Parkside has utilized the current building beyond its capacities," Rep. Jim Kreuser, D-Kenosha said. "This is a building which even from its beginning was not large enough to accommodate the demands of a full-scale University athletic program or the needs of the community. This project is definitely justified and will be fully utilized in our community for university and non-university events." "The existing physical education building reflects an outdated set of priorities," UW-Parkside Athletic Director Linda Draft said. "The proposed building renovations will support the University's growth in women's intercollegiate sports, the increased emphasis on intramural sports and wellness and allow for greater use by the urban region." The University expects the renovated facility to be available to community organizations on at least twenty weekend days a year on a fee-for-use basis.

September 1, 1994 ISSUE #1 Parkside to Begin New Recycling Program by Karen Diehl News Editor The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is starting a new recycling program this fall in order to comply with new state law. In the past, the campus has recycled only paper. However, with the new system, waste products will be separated into three categories. The first is trash. Trash receptacles will be the shortest of the containers and green in color. Wax coated paper cups, relatively unclean Styrofoam plates or cups, food products and wrappers would all be thrown in the trash bin. Recycling of paper will continue also. Paper bins will be middle-sized and brown. Any papers, including windowed envelopes, magazines, file folders, glossy or coated paper, colored paper and post-it notes can be placed into the paper recycling basket. The newest addition to the recycling program will be commingled (pronounced coh- mingled) recyclables. Commingled recyclables include aluminum cans, plastics, tin and relatively clean Styrofoam cups and plates. Recycling in campus housing will remain as it was previously, exceptthat cardboard will also be recycled. Anyone with cardboard to recycle can take it to the housing office. The amount of goods recycled on campus will be monitored by the state in order to be certain that UW- Parkside is in compliance with the new laws. These laws will be affecting everyone on a local level, not just on state-owned property. However, the amount of recycling required from UW- system colleges will be higher. Also, the amount of required recycling will increase each year. For example, the recycling done in 1996-97 will have to surpass that in 1995-96 . The paper recycling will ~continue to be taken care of by the Peltz Corporation. The commingled recyclables and trash will be handled by the Land Reclamation Company (LRC). Once the commingled goods leave the campus, they are brought to the LRC recycling facility in Racine. There, the recyc1ables are placed on a conveyer belt and separated. Then these products are shredded and baled. Bales of recycled goods look much like bales of hay, only three times the size. These bales are then sold to markets where they will be made into consumer- ready products. The trash that comes out of Parks ide will be taken to LRC's landfill, also located in Racine. The landfill has an estimated 4-6 year life span left. The state hopes to divert 25% of waste products from landfills by recycling. If this is the case, the life span of this particular landfill could be extended from 4-6 years to 6-8 years. "It's really difficult to predict," states Mark Hanley of LRC recycling, "There's no guarantee." .Ten years ago, there were an estimated 800-850 open landfills. Today, there are perhaps only 200 still operating. "The problem with these landfills is keeping them current," comments Hanley. "The landfills of today are built more stringently than the hazardous waste dumps of 10 years ago." Training meetings have already occurred in order for faculty and statTto learn about the new program. There will be more meetings for any students interested in learning more, or faculty/staff who may have missed the first meetings. These training sessions will be held in Union 104 on September 21and 27 at 10:30am, 12:00 noon, and 1:30pm. Annual Competition for Fulbright and Other Grants ToClose Soon The 1995-96 competition for Fulbright and other grants for graduate study will close October 31, 1994. Only a few more weeks remain in which qualified graduate students may apply for one of the approximately 800 awards which are available to over 100 countries. The purpose of these grants is to increase mutual understanding between the people ofthe United States and other countries through the exchange of persons, knowledge and skills. They are provided under the terms of the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act of 1961 (Fulbright-Hays Act) and by foreign governments, universities. corporations and private donors. Most of the grants offered provide round-trip transportation, tuition and maintenance for one academic year; a few provide international travel only, or a stipend intended as a partial grant-in-aid. Applicants must be U.S. citizens at the time of application, and must generally hold a bachelor's degree or its equivalent before the beginning date of the grant. and in most cases, should be proficient in the language of the host country. Except for certain specific awards, candidates may not hold the Ph.D. at the time of application. Creative and performing artists are not required to have a bachelor's degree, but most have fOUT years of professional study or equivalent experience. Candidates in medicine must have an M.D. or the equivalent (e.g., O.D., D.D.S.) at the time of applications. Application forms and further information may be obtained from college or university Fulbright Program Advisers, IIE's New York headquarters or one of its regional offices in Chicago, Denver, Houston, or San Francisco. The deadline for receipt of applications is October 31, 1994. Requests for application materials received after October 15, 1994 will not be honored. NEWS SECTION Page 2 Buchholz Becomes New PSGA President By: Karen Diehl News Editor roughly a month and a half. At the end of the year, it was discovered that Vince Borner did not fulfill the academic requirements, nor did Dana Larsen, president pro-temp. Buchholz received no official word of the change. "One day I got a phone call from one of the senators who said, 'Hello, Madame President!'" commented Jennifer. The PSGA constitution requires that three meetings occur over the Last March, elections were held for senatorial and executive positions in -Parkside's Student Government Association (PSGA). At that time, Vince Borner, a former Senator, was elected president, and Jennifer Buchholz was elected vice- president. These offices were filled by Borner and Buchholz for summer. However, there were not enough of the senators president to elect even a temporary vice- president. Therefore, Buchholz has been assuming the duties of both present and vice-president. At the first PSGA meeting of the school year, which will be held on September 2, the senate can vote on a temporary replacement. The official election will occur in October, when the entire student body can vote. Volunteer Opportunities September 10, from 9 am to 4 pm.

Teaching Excellence Award Winners for 1993-94 Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Teaching Excellence Award Winners for 1993-94 by Jim Hendrickson The University of Wisconsin- Parkside has announced the winners of the 1994 Awards for Teaching Excellence. Every year, the students nominate their favori te teachers and a facul ty panel decides which two nominees are most worthy. The winners are Maria Leavitt, a Lecturer of Modern Languages, and Paul Mohazzabi, an Associate Professor of Physics. Senora Leavitt has been teaching Spanish language and civilization courses at this university for four years. She began her studies in her native Puerto Rico, and graduated with a MA in Spanish from the University of Arizona. After being a secretary in the Army and a bank employee who dealt with automatic tellers, she realized. that teaching was just right for her. With her positive, outgoing personality, "the love of teaching came easily. It waa almost like a religious calling," she said. Some of Senora Leavitt's most memorable experiences teaching here were the two times when she and her Spanish Civilization class went abroad. Visiting Spain she was happy every time her students said, "Oh, I remember learning about this," or "This was the site of ...." To her, it meant that the students didn't just take up space in the lecture hall, but actually absorbed her words about the culture. That is very important to this honored teacher. "Today, the world as we know-it is getting smaller. The more you know in terms of language, the more they let you into their world," she stated. "It is very important to learn' a language, any language. It expands your mind." Leavitt enjoys the recognition that her students have bestowed upon her by nominating her for the award. "It shows me that they care. They, the students, had taken time to write something for me," she said. Students have always been her first priority, "They are everything to me!" she declared. The second winner of the Teaching Excellence Award is Paul Mohazzabi. He has wanted to be a teacher since he was in elementary school. "Nothing else ever interested me," he said. Mohazzabi started. out his higher education in the field of chemistry, but graduated with a PhD in physics from University of California-Berkeley. He came to Parks ide from the Tuskeegee Institute in Alabama where he taught upper-level courses in material science and mechanical engineering. This is not his first outstanding teaching award; he received one at Tuskeegee in 1984. "There it was totally different. Only the students decided.lwho won the awards]," he said, "but I value them both equally." He.has been teaching at Parks ide since 1986. He began teaching only upper-level physics courses, but in recent years he has been teaching physics to non-science majors. Speaking of the difference between the two courses, Dr. Mohazzabi said, "When you teach upper-level courses, you start off assuming a certain base of knowledge. That isn't always there. In lower-level courses, you can assume a blank slate and build a base of information from scratch." One of Mohazzabi's students, Wendy Paul, said "I look at everyday experiences differently now." Another student, Jim Hutsick, said he would take another physics class because his teacher made it so interesting for him. Asian American Organization Academic Achievers-Asian American Night Banquet 1993-1994 It was a beautiful, colorful night at the University Wisconsin-Parks ide; never has anyone seen so many bright colors and people from every culture that make up the great cultural diversity of this school. The Asian American Organization in coalition with the Center for Educational and Cultural Advancement, Friday, April 22, 1994 sponsored a Academic Achievement Banquet in honour of graduates, students with the highest G.P.A., students with 3.0 and above G.P.A., and student leaders. Among those honoured was Interim Chancellor John Stockwell as a Special Award Recipient, Special Recognition for Educational and Cultural Contributions, because of his significant contribution to the Success of students of color, volunteering his service for community related programs and for advocating in behalf of people of color. Anthony Brown said of Interim Chancellor Stockwell: "He is a person at the University who is consistent. There has to be someone who keeps the University going forward in turbulent times, which keeps everyone on a steady path, but which moves the University with the leadership and the drive that can be above no other." Not expecting to receive an award, Stockwell was speechless when presented with one. The words he spoke upon receiving his award were, "This award comes a surprise and means a great deal to me .. .I would like to make some remarks that come from the heart. I think I measure riches as I grow older in term~ of friendships f have with people who come from different backgrounds other than myself and encourage me to learn more about myself and more about the world I live in. 1 regard myself tonight as very rich to share in the in traditions that we are celebrating tonight. I congratulate all of you on your achievements and I thank you very much for this recognition." The student with the highest G.P.A. was from the jun ior class and was Christopher Sagar. The evenings emcee's were Sujata De and Shireesha Kothur. There were many performances from the people of Asian decent. Indrani Mukhergee'sang songs of her native homelands. There were exquisite dances called "Bharathnatyam," "Hindi," and "Kuchipudi" from India; every dance had a story to it. The banquet was sponsored by the Asian American Organization, Center for Educational and Cultural Advancement, UW-Parkside Anniversary Committee, and the Ethnic Studies Center, • MEET THE NEW EDITOR-IN-CHIEF by Karen Schultz securing available grants and other ways of raising funds," adds Zahn Zahn, who will be a senior ne year, is majoring In history He is currently recruiting people for next year's staff before the semester ends.

Zahn has been on the Ranger staff for one and half years, both as Assistant News Editor and News Editor. "My major goal is to make sure the paper is looked at as a credible source of news," said Zahn, Zahn has set goals for the Ranger and its staff. He would like to build on current Editor- in-Chief Steven Moore's staff diversity. While inviting the current staff back, he also would like other students to know the Ranger holds opportunities for them. Ideally, Zahn would also like to see advertising sales increase and find additional ways to raise money so as to decrease the burden students have to pay towards the Ranger. Financial independence and credibility are the main points Zahn will be striving for next year. '1 want to make sure the heart of the paper is going to be news, but also that we have the fun extras," said Zahn.

While not physically at the April 22 event, they left their mark by donating autographed books for the fund raising activity. The Prairie School in Racine was the location for the Council's silent and non- silent book auction. Chairing the auction committee was Diane Welsh, the assistant director of Student Life at Parkside. Professor of English, Andrew Mcl.ean. also serving on the committee, relayed that the purpose of the affair was "to raise money to keep the free service the council offers. The literacy council teaches reading to those adults who cannot read." McLean said approximately $8000 was raised from the function. "It was a pleasant evening where people joined together and were willing to spend some money in support of a good cause." expressed the enthusiastic professor. His store, The Old Book Corner, along with the Little Professor Book Center-both in Racine-c-hested a series of authors on the day of the auction. ·Among the writers appearing at McLean's store were Parkside history professor Thomas Reeves, past English majors Michael Schumacher and Amy Bauman, and Charlotte Cote, author of Olympia Brown: The Battle for Equality. Cote signed books and talked about her research on Olympia Brown. Calling herself a feminist, Cote emphasized the significant contributions the subject of her book made to the historic Women's Movement, which THE RANGER IN REVIEW by Karen Schultz The end of the semester is here, and also the last issue of the Ranger News. The Ranger has under gone many changes this semester in image and attitude. Editor-in-Chief Steven Moore said recently, "With determination and a new positive attitude, we accomplished many goals throughout the school year." Accomplishments the Ranger has made this year include eliminating a financial debt which has hung over the Ranger for four years. "As of now we are out of debt," said Moore. Another goal Moore had set last fall was to increase staff membership and bring diversity to the staff. He has been tremendously successful in both areas, breaking the record of staff membership. In addition, the look, the attitude, and the overall design of the Ranger has changed. Moore and the Ranger staff created a new image and attitude by adding new sections, fighting to bring color back to the paper, and recruiting new businesses and corporations to advertise. The new advertisements are one reason for the Ranger eliminating its debt; business manager Tanya Dornik accomplished as much debt reduction in the six weeks at the beginning of this year as last year's staff achieved all year. Furthermore, new graphics, designs, and a more appealing way to present news stories supported the new image. Moore also gave students and facul ty mem bers the opportu n i ty to express their concerns and ideas through personal essays and Letters to the Ed i tor. "I feel proud of our accomplishments, but I'm also disappointed with several individuals on campus who are unaware of our limitations and constraints," said Moore. Moore also listed the limited supply of computers and limited student salaries, as compared with his previous school- College of Lake County, as severe drawbacks and challenges to overcome. Moore, who is graduating this semester, would like to pursue a career in education, teaching English literature or politics. In leaving Moore said, "I cannot stress the importance of having a weekly newspaper here at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside strongly enough." Moore added, "We provide an avenue of communication for students, administration, and faculty." Gretchen Kearney Becomes New Director At Parkside April Proske News/Feature Writer Gretchen Warner-Kearney, Ph.D., is the new director of the Learning Assistance and Counseling Center. As of March of 1994, Kearney is the new head of the Learning Assistance Program, the Student Support Services, Disabled Student Services, the Career Center, and the Counseling and Testing Center. However, the new plans for next year do not include the Counseling Center. Instead, it will be moved to the same department as Health Services sometime in late Mayor early June. Kearney stated that there will be a mission review /evaluation of the unit. The plans include moving any personal accounts to Student Health Services, and moving the Writing Center into the same unit as the Learning Center. Kearney said, "By the end of the semester, there should be new names and titles." (This will probably include hers as well.) The new plans also includes: a new Adult Student Advising Center, an Americans with Disabilities Act, and a Student Retention plan. The Adult Student Advising Center will attract more adult students to Parkside, and will help adult students adjust to college life. The Americans with Disabilities Act is a federal regulation for what universities are required to do to enable disabled students appropriately. This includes workshops for faculty and staff on how to assist those that are handicapped, new special equipment such as hand rails and evacuation plans, and also the remodeling of the Writing Center. The Student Retention plan helps students stay in college easier, preventing students from dropping out. Kearney's career revolves around helping students become successful in college. Kearney expressed a wish to know more students from campus. "I really love it here so far. I've been made feel welcome, but I have a lot more people to meet. I want to meet everybody." Kearney is also thinking of teaching a Freshman Introductory COurse. Kearney originally came from Munstrom, Indiana. Kearney and her husband, who teaches marketing at Marquette University, moved from Chicago, Illinois to Racine, Wisconsin. Kearney obtained her PhD at the Loyola University of Chicago, her Master of Arts degree at the Indiana University, and her Bachelors Degree at DePauw University . Kearney is pleased with her new job at Parkside. She describes her staff as being "a really group of people." Kearney mentioned that she was "really impressed. with the faculty and staff." She also stated that she is "very excited about being at Parkside and (she) is enjoying (her) position here and would like to meet everyone." included the attainment of the right of women to vote. The author said she could not "understand why universities and high schools are not teaching about Olympia Brown." She spoke of Brown's ordainment as the first woman in a denomination in the United States. The Dhanna Lion: A Biography of Allen Ginsberg, Parkside graduate Michael Schumacher's most recently published work, was one of the topics the writer discussed that day. He also discussed his present works in progress. Schumacher, a Kenosha resident, is contracted to write Eric Clapton's authorized biography as well as the biography of deceased folk singer, Phil Ochs, Schumacher is also known to numerous Parkside students for the journalism workshop he conducted last semester. Parkside studen ts,' faculty and staff interested in learning more about the Racine Literacy Council and how they can get involved in the fight against illiteracy can contact the organization at 632-9495. Third Shift: Cleaning Through the Night After the last student or the last instructor walks through the door every night, the halls may seem dark and empty, but looks can be deceiving. Little do we know that there are still 21 people lurking around various parts of the school. We may not see them, but they exist. They are the cleaning staff on third shift. Outing class and library hours we might see members of the cleaning staff at work, but when we leave for the night, work has just begun for those on third shift. The third shift cleaning staff, supervised by Pat Woods, who has been working at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside for eleven years, is broken into two groups, the Area Crew and the Rover Crew. The Area Crew is responsible for cleaning the same area every night, and the Rover Crew does things such as waxing floors, cleaning the carpet and windows, and filling in for the Area Crew. Tom Muelke, Custodian 2, who has been at Parkside for eight years works on the Area Crew and says that one of the benefits of his job is that it gives him the opportunity to work alone. "l've always been a person who likes to work on my own, and being an area person I can do that," says Muelke. While Muelke is not too fond of the lack of sleep, and he gets angry when people don't recycle paper right, he says that he feels that students attitudes are good toward custodians. There are times when students are all a little messy and take it for granted that the mess will disappear; thanks to the cleaning staff i~ does. So while we are at home sleeping or studying for the following day's exam, the third shift cleaning staff is hard at work doing their part to provide us with a clean learning environment. The Board of Regents visits Parkside by Rosemary Scozzaro On Thursday, April 7 and Friday, April 8, 1994, the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents met at Parkside. The purpose of this meeting was to confirm the recommendation and officially name Dr, Eleanor J. Smith as the new chancellor of UW-Parkside. The recommendation on Thursday, March 31, was made by the University of Wisconsin System Board of Regents System President Katherine Lyall and a regent search committee. Retraction: in the article "what's Up In South Africa, it was reported that Abbey Makena was an international exchange student from Kenya. He is actually from South Africa.

GLO Wall in Main Place Sparks Controversy Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document GLOWall in Main Place Sparks Controversy by Erica L. Sanchez News Editor Recently, Main Place featured the Gay and Lesbian Organization's (GLO) Wall, which allowed Parkside students and faculty to voice their opin- ions on the subject of gays and lesbians freely to the public. Unfortunately, by the end of the week, the wall was covered in many derogatory and vicious statements both frightening and thought-provoking to many Parkside individuals. Herein are written some of the views of Parkside administration and students, who explain their opinions on the condition of the Wall. Morten Sunde, President of GLO, said that "I hope that the wall can. be an educational tool that can show both sides of the argument. I have no problem with the wall, 1 am very thick- skinned, but it might be harder for others who also face the neg- ative reactions of the wall. There are many people who are nega- tive in their reactions, which can be seen in statements like 'they should all be shot: or 'they should be killed: but we want people to know the attitudes here at Parkslde. Also, we are thinking of giving the wall to the new chancellor, so that she can see the condition of gay and les- bian issues and relations at this university." When asked about his opinion of the wall, Dr. John C Stockwell, Interim Chancellor at Parkside, said that "I was offend- ed by it. Many of the comments on the wall were vicious and grotesque, and were certainly not fit for a university setting. The university is not a place for that-it belongs in some barn- yard someplace. I have written an open commentary letter about the wall which will be published this week in the Ranger News, and this commentary will go out to all the organizations as well. 1 was frightened by the wall's comments, and I found myself embarrassed and scared standing in front of it.i.and if I was affect- ed by the wall, imagine how other individuals, especially those it was intended for, felt when viewing it in Main Place. That type of literature is not wel~ come anywhere," said Stockwell, "there is no place for it, and the people who wrote it are cowards for writing it and not signing their name to their opinions." Carole Vopat, professor of English, said that "to me, it says that we need to talk about gay and lesbian issues, including gay and lesbian issues as a part of diversity, as a part of the curricu- lum so that people have the opportunity to learn, grow, and speak their minds. I think that people were invited to communi- cate their thoughts, and ii led to the depths of hate and fear. Many were shocked by the mal- ice and ignorance that was shown on the wall. Personally, I think the university has a mis- sion to educate. People were invited to say what they thought, and 1expected garbage ...the threats of physical violence and hatred. We simply have to edu- cate the people, which is the mis- sion of the university environ- ment." When asked for her opin- ion, Ginger Helgeson, coordina- tor of the Women's Center, believed that '1 am worried about the comfort and safety of people here at the university, but I am hopeful that the university pays attention to the message written on the wall." Hopefully, the Wall served its purpose, and by allowing people to vent their views and opinions in a public place, it gave every- one the opportunity to see and acknowledge the viewpoints of others, and to speak their minds as well. However, the Parkside community was offended by the violent and cruel remarks made on the Wall, and may take steps to prevent any further derogato- ry epithets from occu.rring on campus. G.L.O. celebrates annual Out and About Week by Erica L. Sanchez News Editor Throughou t the na tion, there are m~ny u.niversities that take a certain week of the year to hold educational and recreational events for the entire community, and this time was created to inform and entertain all people about the diversity of sexual orienta- tion. On April4-S at DW- Parkside, the Gay and Lesbian Organization (GLO) held its version of this celebration, called Out and About Week, and filled this week with vari- ous discussions and social events designed to appeal to the entire university. When asked about the meaning of Out and About Week, Morten Sunde, presi- dent of GLO, stated that "it does not really have any par- ticular meaning, except that it shows that we exist, and that we wish to be made visible. Those who know more about us are more prone to support our cause, and there are many who don't know who or what we are, and they focus only on sexual ori- entation. Hopefully," added Sunde, "the events during Out and About week have been enjoyable, and I hope that they have been worthwhile." On April 4, GLO began the week with a noon Brown Bag Luncheon in the Teaching Center, where an in-depth discussion took place with. professors on the subject of homosexuality in the classroom. At 4:30 the same day, Morten Sunde there was a reading of the play "Breaking the Codes" in the Studio Theater, and at 7:00 in Union 104/106, a local news columnist by the name of [amakaya gave a free discussion on the important topic of Gays in the Media. Tuesday continued the week's activities with a marketplace function in the alcove beside the Women's Center, where Afterwords Bookstore from Milwaukee sold various gay and lesbian items from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Later that night, the acclaimed film Torch Song TriloglJ, starring Harvey Fierstein, was shown in the Union Cinema at 7 p.m., the first of two screenings on Tuesday and Thursday. Wednesday featured a noon lecture by State Representative Tammy Baldwin, who gave an in-depth talk in Union 207 on several gay and lesbian issues, one of which was the recently proposed Domestic Partnership Laws. The day's events conclud- ed with the 7 p.m. film The Wedding Banquet, which had screenings both on Wednesday and Friday. On the final day of Out and About Week, a social gathering and dance was given in Union Square following the last show- ing of The Wedding Banquet, which lasted from 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. Open to the community, the dance allowed everyone to relax, socialize, and reflect on the cultural, educational, and enjoyable events of the past four days. The second annual Out and About Week was intended to be not only a week of culture, but of enjoyment; a blending of fW1 and informative events that enccur- aged and combined social and educational interaction together in one week. New PSGAPresident explains goals for organization by Erica L Sanchez News Editor On Friday, AprilS, the Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) conducted its weekly meeting, where they discussed the normal political issues and events tha t come before the Parkside senate. However, that particular meeting was different, for on that day PSGA inaugurated Vincent E. Bomer as president of their orga- nization. When asked about his goals as president of PSGA, Borner said that "primarily, I will strive to get the constitution restructured so that we can eliminate all the red tape that it contains, and get the senate to work with the exec- utive staff. However, I would really like to make sure that the student body has good represen- tation in PSGA, so that everyone can accomplish their goals at this uni versi ty. I would also like to see a multicultural center set up for the purpose of educating the campus community, and 1 will work to have a lot more minority representation and involvement on the campus as a whole. Also," added Bomer, "there should be more faculty-student involvement with PSGA, so that we can all work together to meet the goals of education." Borner continued by saying that he is elated about being elected, and "I am grateful for being given this opportunity to get the school headed in a direc- tion to do better than the past PSGA administrations. It will give me the chance to right the wrongs of the past presidencies, and the opportunity to show that PSGA is not a joke. We have been bombarded in the past with the accusation that PSGA is a joke-and hopefully 1can show that-it is important that every- one, including PSGA, is involved with the betterment of this uni- versity. I am not saying that the past presidents were bad," said Bomer, "maybe they were just misdirected- all of them had different agendas, different goals-and my goal is to make the student body more aware of everything about the educational process, to make sure that stu- dents receive the best education possible. I want to see that stu- dents are aware of what is going on around them-and I wish to continue my senate work- wh.ich is being the voice of the student. "I am willing to work with everyone," Borner added, "and I want to keep everything about me real, with no misconceptions or stereotypes. I wish to lead PSGA in a more positive direc- tion, away from the past and into the future-and my personal philosophy remains the same: lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way." Bomer felt that there should be an informal get-together during the semester, a meeting that "brings together the faculty, the staff, and the student body, where people can voice their concerns on what can make this university a better place in which to receive an education. People look at PSGA and say that it is full of problems, but all the UW- System schools had these com- munication problems, so it is not a fair assessment. The past PSGA administrations did many good things, and the presidents did the best they could with an apathetic student body. I am not being derogatory or judgmental towards the students-they sim- ply have not been informed. There has been a lack of unity between PSGA and the student body, and 1 wish to have com- munication between the faculty, the staff, the students-and PSGA.

When interviewed, Borner stated that "I am elated about the prospect of being able to help this university move into its next phase of growth. This does not just affect me-but the whole student bod y-for the students will have someone who will not just talk at them, but to them. 1 would like to start off by congratulating the new chancellor and by sending an open request to have all student organizations come together in order to bring respect and unity back to this university. It would be good to open the lines of communication and to extend an olive branch to the neighboring communities so that we can know their needs and ask for their support.

It Could Never Happen ToMe: Jason Ostman's Story by Karen Diehl Feature Editor Special thanks to jason's parents for sharing their precious memories with me. My deepest sympathies go out to them and to everyone who loved jason. This looks like my house, was the thought that struck me as 1 stepped up to the middle- class Kenosha home. I guess I hadn't expected that. Horrible tragedies like the one that brought me here just didn't happen to people like me-or so 1 thought. After listening to the two hour story that jason Ostman's parents told, 1 was forced to change my mind about that theory. Things like this could happen to anyone. jason was a 20-year old physics major at Parkside who was involved with Media Services and the Volunteer Center. He put together Easter baskets for disabled children and helped out at shelters for battered women. He went out to dinner with his parents every Friday night. He loved going to concerts;he smiled a lot. In many ways, Jason was just like any other college student. This past New Year's Eve, like any other college student, Jason went to a party to bring in 1994. But unlike many other college students, Jason Ostman never made it home. While he was at the party, he began having seizures and was rushed to the hospital. There, he slipped into a coma and never regained consciousness. It was later discovered that there was LSD in his system. The Kenosha County Medical Examiner's report indicated that it was this LSD which caused the seizures, and ultimately jason's tragic death. "Jason was just an average kid, he was a good kid like a lot of other kids. It's just this bad thing happened to him;' commented jason's father. I never realized just how often this kind of thing really did happen. The hard fact is that in Kenosha county since July of1990, fifty percent of all fatalities occuring in people ages 21 and under showed drugs or alcohol present in the body at the time of death. This eye- opening statistic came as a real shock to me. Everyone learns that drugs and alcohol are bad, that they can kill. Everyone has seen movies where people die from drug overdoses or drunk driving accidents. I wish, though, that everyone could spend a few hours talking to the devastated loved ones that jason left behind. When I stepped into the Ostman's house it was like stepping into another world, one that I always had thought only existed in the movies or on the news. Visiting that world was really frightening; I can't imagine living there. jason Ostman's death was a senseless loss. The pain caused by his passing can't be justified. Hopefully though, somebody, somewhere will hear about jason and think twice before choosing to use drugs or alcohol. For that person, it's not too late. In Jason's case, we can only hold on to his memory and keep him in our minds and hearts. Jason e, ostmoo May 11, 1973 - Jan 3, /994 "Blessed are the pure of hearts, for they shall see God: -Remember me with a smile. or don't remember me at all." Ranger News April 6, 1994 Dr. Smith continued from Pg.1 Dr. Smith heartily responded that "I will examine the issues in the environmental scan ...and determine what needs alteration. We must look at the internal environment and the external---which is the relationship that Parkside has with Kenosha and Racine and their constituents. We must build a better relationship with the community that surrounds Parkside, for about 80% of the people are alumni and I would like to tie their interests in with the university---the city, the administration, the media, the corporate and business communities-v-I am interested in finding their needs and interests." "However: Dr. Smith added, "I want to talk to the people first and get the flavor and feel for their thoughts and beliefs; I would like to explore their ideas." Dr, Smith was adamant about working closely with the students and faculty, and intends to be a "more visible chancellor at Parkside. I wish to create a climate where the students would fecI a sense of community, as well as the faculty and staff. I want everyone (but especially the students) to have a connection with the university, while they are there and' when they leave it for the world," While Dr. Smith has many goals in mind, one of the most important is her need to create lines of communication between herself and the students, "If appoin ted;' she said, "I would like a reception or some open time where the students could come and meet me. It would be nice if it was before graduation, for I would not want students to graduate before I could see them, and they could meet the new chancellor who will be around for the upcoming years." Dr. Smith was born in, Ohio, and was the eldest of four childnen. Her mother, who still lives in Circleville, was a domestic worker, and her father was a janitor and truck driver. They are her role models, she says, for although both of her parents received little formal education, they regarded it with much esteem and Importance.' Dr. Smith went on to receive bachelor's degrees in music and ed ucation from Capital University (1955-56), graduate coursework in education from Ohio State University (l957-66), and her doctorate in African-American history from the Union Institute (1972). She has held numerous positions, such as; dean of institutional affairs and professor of African-American studies at Smith College in Northampton, Mass, (l988-90); University of Cincinnati vice provost (l985-88); acting vice provost (l983-85); associate senior vice president (1983-84); director of summer sessions (1983-85); assistant senior vice president and assistant provost (l982-83); and faculty member. who eaught African-American history classes (1972-88). Dr. Smith was also a public elementary school teacher (1956- 64) and middle school teacher (1964-72) in Ohio. Her hobbies include; playing piano, reading (romance novels), singing, and travel. Dr. Smith's travels have taken her to some exotic places; such as _. Thailand, Brazil, China, Kenya, Russia, Surinam, and India. She has also been listed in the editions of "International Who's Who;' "Who's Who in the Midwest;' and many other publications, She is married with one daughter. In making her recommendation, UW- System President Lyall stated that "Dr. Smith is an effective, proven leader and administrator, as well as a nationally recognized scholar and former public school teacher. She intends to be an active participant in the life of the Kenosha and Racine communities. Or. Smith understands UW-Parkside's unique mission," said Lyall, "and is eager to draw the university more closely into partnership in meeting the needs of southeastern Wisconsin." Dr. Smith was one of the five finalists chosen by the Parkside Chancellor Search and Screen Committee, who announced their selections for the posi tion on March 25. The other finalists included Dr. Mark S. Auburn, Dr. Dennis L. Hefner, Dr, Marlene Springer, and our own Interim Chancellor, Dr, John C. Stockwell. Therefore, all that is keft to the Chancellor search now is to wait for the decision of the UW -System Board of Regents. As aforementioned, if they concur with Lyall's decision, Dr, Smith will take office July 1. "Dr. Smith's experience;' Lyall ended, "plus a strong academic and professional record, make Dr. Smith the best choice for this position. UW-Parkside will benefit from tha t experience and that record, and I look forward to working with her."

Goldstein is purported to have been a member of the Kach movement, an anti-Arab militant group advocated by the late Rabbi Melr Kahane. Throughout the world people presenting themselves as Jewish leaders and representatives have denounced Goldstein's violent act and the Kach movement. Those interviewed for the following article do not reflect all the views of those who are Muslim or Jewish. The following order in which the interviews appear is the same in which they occurred, Muhanad Hamdan, a UW-Parkside sophomore majoring in sociology/anthropology, necently came to the Ranger office asking to be interviewed about the Muslims killed in Hebron. He' described himself as an Arab-Palestinian-American and a Muslim. "l'm just tired of everybody classifying Arabs as terrorists. If one Jew does something wrong he's considered wacko or nuts, but if an Arab does it he's a terrorist. I just don't understand how he (Goldstein) could've got in there past the Israeli guards;' relayed Hamdan. - -' _._-" - He said that he needed to tell people that what goes on in that area of the world is not reported accurately-ahatthe media always. presents Arabs as the "bad guys," Accompanying Hamden was a Parkside student who is a girlfriend to an Arab- American. She explainedthat she !lad not paid attention to Middle East matters until she started seeing her present boyfriend (not Hamdan), who is Muslim. "You'll hear more about a Palestinian or an Arab doing something to the Jewish community than you will the other way. Right now there are Jewish soldiers with guns and Palestinians with rocks and these soldiers will kill Palestinian children and women and you won't hear about that. There are horrific stories you don't hear about because they're a little bit biased. And right now I'm being a little bit biased and 1 have to say it, but 1 think it's been the other way for way too long," stressed the student. Regarding peace negotiations between Israelis and Arabs, Hamdan expressed. that he would "like peace to go, but now I think no one's going to do it," His friend added, "If it were the other way around the Jewish community would've pulled. out of the peace agreement in an instant." Hamdan ended the conversation by saying that "It's only that little, tiny percent of the Jews that want to eradicate aU Arabs. I have friends in Racine that are Jews. I see them every day. Not ali jews are bad. Not all israelis are bad. This one settler (Goldstein) was bad," Another Parkside student shared some of his views with the Ranger. He identified himself as an Arab-American and a Muslim, but asked not to have his name printed because he was fearful of receiving harassment. The student said that during the Persian Gulf war he and his family had some negative experiences involving people he called "unintelligent". He said that he had lived near the city of Ramallah in the area most commonly referred to as the West Bank. In 1989, at the age of 13,he came to the United States with his family. Memories of his past homeland included the continual closing of schools, due to the intafada--an Arab uprising mainly comprised of youth. When he first heard about the killings in the mosque, he said he had expressed a feeling of shock: "1 couldn't believe that such a huge number of people could get killed that way. I was afraid that some of my friends could have been there. I feel a real anger because people were shot in.t~eir backs when they were praying, They couldn't defend themselves. The soldiers were supposed to be guarding the place and they just let him (Goldstein) in." He concluded by saying, "Kach is a dangerous movement and the present leader not only hates the Arabs, but the Jews too." The student believed that Goldstein may not have acted alone-that there may have been some kind of military involvement. "You can't trust the Israeli government," he said. Parkside associate professor of philosophy, Aaron Snyder, who is Jewish, also shared some of his tho,}ig!tJ~. Snyder was informed, by this writer, that two Muslim students interviewed for this story expressed their concerns about media bias in favor of Israel. Regarding the student-comment that the press always dubs a violent act by an Arab as an act of terrorism, Snyder said "that's not true." He explained that there were numerous incidents in which violent acts committed by Middle Easterners were not linked by the media to the provokers' political alliances. "One way of finding out whether an action is an approved or instigated act is asking the presumed instigators," he suggested. The Israeli government has not connected itself with the mosque killings. The Kach movement has not said they were behind the act. A representative of the movement appearing on the television show,60 Minutes, on Feb. 27,did say he would condone violence in order to stop the peace negotiations. "What's fairly clear is that only a minuscule percent of either the Israeli or the Jewish population condone this act," said Snyder. He continued, "There is uniform agreement across the political spectrum, from far right to far left, that the act was horrible and unjustified." To stress how strongly the Jewish community in Israel does not want to be connected with the Kach movement, the professor told of how "the only member elected. to Israeli parliament who was ~ot seated ,was t.heone time Kach succeeded in winning an election. Israeli parhament refused to seat the Kach minister on the grounds that Kach's doctrine was racist, and the Israeli constitution forbids such racist attitudes. They do seat Arabs who are opposed to lsrael." During the course of an hour-long conversation, the issue of peace negotiations came up. Snyder stressed, "I do want to make one point that I do think is important. Anybody who listens to the news nowadays will hear the repeated refrain that the problem is the settlers. It's becoming the cliche" of the moment. What is.supposed to be the position that we reach if we accept that view? The ultimate, I suppose, is that the Jewish settlers in the Continued on next page Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Ranger Exclusive: Interview with NBC Late Night's Conan O'Brien Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Ranger Exclusive: Interview.with NBC Late Night's Conan O'Brien by Ioe Kene Managing Editor During Spring Break, our managing editor, Joe KImel travelled with Parkside'. Theatre Deparhnent to New York City. While there, he interviewed the new host of NBCs Late Night--<:onan O'Brien. The Ranger is pleased to present their conversation in this exclusive interview. -Steven Moore Several weeks before the thealre grou p left for New York, I began calling Conan O'Brien's people to try to arrange this interview, without holding out too much hope for success. Yet after about two dozen back-and- forth phone calls, some as late as the day of the show, I arranged the meeting. Everyone we had the pleasure of dealing with, from the ticket people to the show's creative producer to Conan himself proved to be terrifically accommodating, friendly, and professional. On Wednesday, March 16, 1994, the day of the interview, four members of our group and I arrived at NBC Studios in Rockefeller Center in Manhattan at 4:15 p.m, Late Night usually tapes from about 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. and then is broadcast in our area at 11:35 p.m. on NBC's ChannelS ou t of Chicago or at 12:05 a.m. on Channel 4 in Milwaukee. Upon arrival, we were taken in a special group of "tape reserves" to be seated before the regular crowd. Tape reserves, we found out, were special guests of the show and, when we were seated, We found our seats were masking taped with "Kane" Written across it. We kind of felt like big shots as we were placed in the front row. After a brief explanation of the logistical procedures from the announcer, the band entered. the studio and played two or three songs in a rocking rhythm & blues vein. The band is led by a former member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, drummer Max Weinberg. The remainder of the show's warm- up happened when Conan was introduced. He literally leapt onto the stage, microphone in hand. He ran up into the audience as the band launched into a blistering version of Elvis Presley's "(Hunk 0' Hunk 0') Burnin' Love" with Conan on the vocal. He pulled a woman from the audience into the aisle to dance with her while belting out the song. The audience was clapping along and whooping it up when he waved. his arm. and everything suddenly stopped dead. The audience broke into hysterics as he looked sheepishly at the woman and said, "I'm terribly sorry ... I" m very sorry. This is a talk show ... .1 just heard my name and I sort of lost it..." He ad-Jibbed jokes with the audience for a while then said the show woulc be starting in a few minutes-"Y have to go backstage and put on some underwear." He ran down the aisle and leapt over the guest couch. The band played him off and the show began after that song. Conan O'Brien is, in his own words, "the only Irish-American talk show host-c-on NBC-at this lime of night." A little over six months ago, the 6' 4" host stepped into some mighty big shoes as David Letterman left Late Night and took his show to CBS. O'Brien, unknown to most of America when he took over the reins, was however a heavy- hitter with a diverse background in the world of comedy writing, as he delineates in the conversation below. The show is noted for its wacky, off-beat sense of humor and for booking some of the best cutting-edge alternative rock bands. On the two nights we were there, for instance, the bands were the Lemonheads and Green Day. As O'Brien settles into the job, he has begun to carve ou t his own comic territory and develop a burgeoning following, especially among college students, as evidenced by the fact that CNN Entertainment was there on St. Patrick's Day to interview our Parkside students about the show. That piece will be broadcast on CNN at a later date. After the show, we were brought backstage and we waited ou tside the dressing room for Conan to change. The assistant knocked on the door of his spare IOxIO dressing room and announced us. Conan was just lacing up his shoes as 1 entered. He greeted us wearing a T-shirt and jeans as he offered a seat to me and Tom Newman, who ran the video camera. During the interview after the Wednesday taping, I found Conan to be relaxed, funny, accommodating, completely forthcoming and quite down-to- earth. Kane: First of all, happy St. Patrick's Day, from one Irishman to another. O'Brien: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much. Kane: Now, to get started, you are a Harvard graduate, right? O'Brien: Yeah, I graduated in 1985. I don't talk about that a lot. (laughs) Kane: Why not? O'Brien: Because I don't think I'm representative of Harvard people. I spent a lot of my lime there doing comedy-more than I should've, more than studying. That's when I started gelling into writing. They had a lrumor magazine called the Lampoon ... Kane: The Hartard Lampoon? O'Brien: Yeah, and I just lived there. That was my life. And I started emceeing concerts at school and things like that. I remember that because I was on the lJimpoon I just started gelling gigs. Kane: Oh, you did stand-up, then? O'Brien: Yeah, I did some stand- up. Y'know, the kind where come out, you tell some jokes and you introduce different singing groups. That's sort of where I got started. Kane: Someone on your staff told us that you got invited to the White House tomorrow. What's that deal? O'Brien: Yeah! Yeah, I'm going .. .1 think the Irish prime minister is in town and Clinton apparently watches the show and likes it. And he though!...! guess he's invited some Irish people just to sit around the White House and fool the Irish prime minister into thinking that Irish people are always hanging around. So... that's a trip ... Kane: (laughs) Yeah, absolutely. O'Brien: I mean, I hope I don't spill something or ....Actually, I started to come down with a cold today and I thought-what if I'm talking to the President and I make him sick. Y'know, I pictured Secret Service people pouncing on me. But I'm looking forward to that....But, that's weird ...it's a strange thing .. .I've never done anything like that. Kane: So you're going down to Washington right after the show? O'Brien: Yeah, after the show tomorrow. We're gonna do the show a little early. Kane: Yeah, we're bringing down abou tIS or 20 people from our university to see you tomorrow ... O'Brien: Oh great! Cool. That's great.

O'Brien: (laughs) You can tell 'em, "Ah, I remember the old days .. .I remember how they ueed to do the show." Kane: 24 hours ago ... O'Brien: Right. Kane: Now, on the set , on the continued on next page Max Weinberg makes successful transition from concert hall to television band leader I was also had the opportunity to speak with the leader of the Late Night band, Max Weinberg. After spending about 15 years as the drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, weinberg now leads the jumpin' band for Conan O'Brien. And jumpin' it is. The Max Weinberg Seven is horn dominant and features a saxophone, a trumpet, a trombone, as well as an organ, guitar, bass, and, of course, drums. When I asked him what, in particular, he was trying to do with new band, he replied that they like to "keep it swingin' -not rockin'. That's why we're different from other late night bands." My take is that they have the best of both worlds. The band warmed up the show both nights with a wide variety of outstanding, uptempo rhythm & blues jump tunes; I don't think they know any slow ones. This band really cooks and it features extensive brass soloing. Weinberg himself is friendly and outgoing and his band is a perfect mesh with the cool, late evening time slot. Ranger Rnus · march 31, 1 ggt CONAN, cant. from page 1 back wall, you have a lot of pictures of old comedians ...I'm not exactly sure; you can only see a few of them on television ... O'Brien: We have, I think, Jack Paar, is up there ...old talk show hosts, early broadcasters. We have Ernie Kovacs ... Kane: Yeah, Ernie Kovacs I saw. Did I see Steve Allen up there? O'Brien. Steve Allen's up there. Kane: Now, did you pick those? O'Brien: Yeah, I thought it'd be kind of neat to just put up people from TV. I'm kind of a TV buff, and a lot of the people who work on the show are into TV. [One of the curators of New York's Museum a/Television and Radio Broadcasting confirms this, saying that O'Brien has been a frequenter of the museum.] And we try to play around with 1V and we just thought It'd be kind of funny to hang up these pictures in the background. Kane: I myself see a lot of Steve Allen's influence in the work you do now. Do you find him to be an influence? O'Brien: No, I wasn't aware of Steve Allen, but you're certainly influenced by a bunch of different people. You can't help but be influence by Letterman- who I think was influenced by Steve Allen. I think also I was influenced by SCTV ... Kane: Oh, absolutely. Now you're what-about 30 years old? O'Brien: I'm 30, yeah. Y'know there was some stuff that I grew up with as a kid (gigantic sneeze), and you see some of those elements. I think our show bOITOWS ...Y'know, sometimes you'll see something that' s sort of like Saturday Night Live, and sometimes you'll see something that's kind of like SCTV, and sometimes you'll see elements of couple of years and then I worked on The Simpsons, which of course is very visual. And I think that's what we're trying to bring to the show. Probably It's a lot more visual than it is verbal, a lot of the time. Kane: You think so? O'Brien: Yeah, I think ...it relies on a lot of footage stuff and things like, "Let's take a look at that clip ..." and there's the stuff with the moving lips [refers to a recurring bit that places the still picture of a famous per50n- President Clinton, Jack Nicholson, etc. on a screen and then superimposes a writer's lips onto it, much like the old Clutch Cargo cartoons, so Conan can interview the "person,"] Kane: Yeah, that goes over well, people love that. And a particular favorite of mine is "In the Year 2000." I think that is inspired; that's incredibly funny. O'Brien: Oh, "In the Year 2000." That's funny, that's something that Robert Smigel, who's my creative producer, and I... years ago we did that on a stage show in Chicago. And that's how we ended the show. We were at the Victory Garden Theater ...and it's so weird that we were doing it in this little, tiny theater in Chicago and now we're, doing it on a nationally broadcast show (laughs). Kane: Just listing your career here, you worked for the Harvard Lampoon, then Not Necessarily the News, then Saturday Night Live, then The Simpsons, and now you have your own TV show. I mean, you've been just skyrocketing to the top. Is it overwhelming? O'Brien: Yeah. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't. This is what I wanted to do. It happened own thing." I think maybe he thought it was possible that "this guy'll take over and just do my kind of stuff." Kane: He said that you had cut your own niche here and that you're doing high quality humor and doing it consistently. I mean, he gave you a lot of praise and he seemed very sincere. [LeHerman's actual quote was: "(T)he more [watched the show, the more I realized you guys do an incredible amount of comedy ... that is very high level, and the volume and the quality of the stuff just knocks me out, and I think you've done a great job to carve out a wonderful identity for yourselves .... ] O'Brien: That was, I think, the nicest...next to my premiere night, that was the happiest night that I had doing the show. Because a lot of people here work very hard and .. .it's tough, because there's this late night war and if s easy to get lost in the shuffle. And we're on pretty late at night and it' s nice when people say they've been checking it ou t and they see how much detail we put into it and how much work we put into it. Kane: Weill sure. O'Brien: And we try to follow up on things like "krunk" [an invented swear word which can be substituted for ever dirty word you've ever heard-as a noun, an adjective, or a verb, as in "krunkin'''] and and we try to develop little strands and then pick up on them later on. So you get a real rush when fans of the show ...when you get the sense that people are out there ...and they pay attention to the little things and they say, "That little thing is great when you do it." Kane: Well, you must be doing something right-you've got fans like David Letterman and President Clinton ... O'Brien: (laughs) He shouldn't be watching TV! That guy should be working. Kane: Well you have to do something before you go to bed. O'Brien: Right. (laughs) Kane: Have you completely severed your ties with The Simpsons? O'Brien: Yeah, pretty much ... Kane: Because I still see your name on the credits occasionally ... O'Brien: Well my name is still on the show, because the shows that come out now ...it takes a long time for a Simpsons episode to be develaped-c-just the technology of doing it. So the ones that come out now are ones that I actually was in the room working on and contributing jokes to over a year ago. Kane: Oh, so is that what it means to bea producer? ...because you're listed on the credits often as that. O'Brien: Yeah, well I was a supervising producer, and that's a vague term but basically I would write episodes and help other people with their episodes and try to fine tune them. IYs a very collaborative atmosphere. IYs a very creative job. Sometimes people say, -oi, you were a supervising producer- that must mean that you went over the books and made sure there was enough money allocated for paint." And I have to say no, no, that not quite it. Kane: OK, before we get Conan accepts his gift from the University. it that are like Green Acres or something. I believe in mixing all that stuff up and taking from just good, funny TV shows that you liked when you were a kid. Kane: Exactly. And a lot of that 1V influence maybe comes for the work that you did on The Simpsons ... ? O'Brien: Yeah. Well, I worked for a bunch ·ofTV shows. I worked for Not Necessarily the News, which was a cable show and a very visual show. And that was actually good training because it was a show that used footage in a way that was very silly. And it was a very visual show. My job there-I used to try to think of a lot of sight gags and that was good training in visual comedy. And I worked then at Saturday Night Live for a earlier than I thought it would it would happen. Certainly, y'kncw, I'm kind of aware that OK, y'know, I've got some rough edges because I'm pretty new at this, but what I hope always comes across and what I think does come across is that we really believe in what we're doing here and we don't have an attitude about it. We just try things. And I think it was really nice when David Letterman came on the show and he just...he was very sincere, because he was talking to us before the show too, and I wasn't sure he was going to say anything on the air about it, and I was happy when he did. But there's a guy who really appreciated us ...He's checked out the show and he said, y'know, "you guys are really doing your Conan poses moments before his trip to the White House. Pictured clockwise are: Joe Kane, Conan O'Brien, Heather Schmitz, Jessica Perugini. wrapped up here, I brought these sweatshirts from the University. O'Brien: Oh, cool! Oh, great! That' s terrific. Kane: We brought one for you, and one for Andy [Richter, Conan's sidekick], and one for Max Weinberg [Late Night's band leader]. O'Brien: Oh, that's great! Let's get a shot of this, here. [Here Conan psused for a picture holding up the Parkside sweatshirt] That's really nice. Thank you very much. Kane: Well, it's a gift from the University and from us, so... if you can pass' em along to the guys ... O'Brien: That' s great...and this is fabric that breathes, too. I'll certainly do that. Did you have a preference about which one Andy gets, or Max? Kane: Doesn't matter, doesn't matter ...whatever you guys like ... O'Brien: Because I wouldn't want to insult anyone ... Kane: No, not at all. And thank you for your time. O'Brien: That's great. Listen, thank you very much. I'm sorry ... they've got me slated to do a million things bu t it was nice to talk to you and ... Kane: Y'know, if you, uhf need someone to tag along to the White House ...I'd be happy to... O'Brien: (laughs) Actually, [need two guys (laughs) ... But y'know, if s nice to talk to you and if s really nice to meet with people who appreciate what we're doing ...y'know, it's cool, it's upIifting. Kane: Well, no problem. We like your show-and we think you're smart and funny-and just keep doing what you're doing. O'Brien: Alright, we will. Thank you very much. It was good to see you ...and happy St. Patrick's Day! I , l • ( I The next night, most of the rest of our theatre grou p attended the St. Patrick's Day edition of the show-in part, featuring a band of abou t 20 ventriloquists singing old Irish folksongs-the Irish Ventriloquist Dummy Choir. Many of the students were seen on camera in the audience. After the taping we were escorted, along with four students from Villa Nova, backstage to the green room to wait for the arrival of CNN's Jill Brooke. While waiting, we helped ourselves to the refreshments. Unexpectedly, Conan swept into the room in full tuxedo, graciously posing for pictures and signing autographs moments before he was taken by helicopter to New York's La Guardia airport for his flight to the White House. At least one of our female students contemplated asking him if he needed a date for the evening. When Brooke arrived with her camera crew, we were reseated in the studio as she interviewed us about the growing national support among college students for Conan and the show. It was, perhaps, our less than 15 minutes of fame, but we enjoyed the brief spotlight. And it gave the actors in our group a chance to ply their wares on national television. After our interview, we split up to enjoy exciting Manhattan in a dozen different ways. I!

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

Anne Frank kept a diary of her ordeal, and this is the dramatization of their touching story. Performance times are: March 26 & 27,8:15 p.m.; March 27, 4:30 p.m.; Match 28, 1:30p.m ..

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