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

Budget Cuts Change Nursing Program y Pamela Bradshaw ews Editor This semester there will be a new face in the consortial nursing program. Alma Renish, Assistant to the Dean for Health-Related Professions, will be taking over t h e advising of the pre-nursing students. Ann Boy le , the p r 0- gram's previous advisor, retired in early August. Because of budget induced changes In staffing, UW-Milwaukee had decided that upon Ann Boyle's retirement they would not restaff the position. Lacking the funds for even a part-time advisor! counselur, Parkslde shifted the responsibilities to Renish. "It was a logical choice of someone who is already doing advising in the health area," Renish commented, when asked how she was chosen. In total, Renish will have at least 380 students to advise. The nursing students enrolled r n the clinical portion of the program, about 90 students, will be advised by Nancy Buffum, the Nursing Lab Coordinator. Renish has been advising the pre-health students; those interested in physical therapy, occupational therapy, medical technician, medicine, dentistry or Alma Renish (right) advises Colette Eckert. o the r he a It hoc cup at io n s . "I am only their academic advisor until they declare a major," she explained. Afterwards she continues as their professional a d v iso r. Even though, advisors from UW-Milwaukee will be coming to assist d u ri n g freshman orientation and other "crunch times," Renish feels that "some of the things enjoy much may have los t." Renish has been a covery to be coordinator of the science competition and active in the Woman in Science program. Duties she had for the school have already been reassigned. However, she has been resisting a further reduction r n her teaching load. "I, as a person, need to be in a classroom environment. And I need to be keeping up with what is going on in biology at the current time. If I go totally into advising I think I will lose that. ... As long as I can be involved with teaching ... then it's more satisfying to me." The change in advising has also brought change in how students are admitted to the program. Instead of enrolling in UW-Milwaukee, students wil l be enrolled at Parkside and change to UW Mil' ....n ukee only after being accepted into clinicals. Renish also feels that conflicts, such as the freshman seminar r e qui rem e n tan d s c h 0 1- arships, will be worked o u t , Though freshman seminar probably would not be required o f pre - n u r sin g s t udents, the nursing faculty at UW-Milwaukee strongly recommend it. "UW-Milwaukee has been bending over backwards to a c c o m m odate and facilitate this.

" The Experimental Certification for Ethnic Colleagues for Elementary Classrooms (EC3) p r o g r a rn compresses the requirements of regular certification for teaching grades one through six into six modular courses over a twelve month period. An additional six months of supervised student teaching is required. The program targets minority members as well as white males due to their underrepresentali on in the elementary schools, where children need more role models from these populations. OC3 students are asked to seek a commitment of three years of teaching in the Racine/Kenosha area upon graduation. Th., Tn:I" n L' 1 n n g i a.

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

Parks ide students coordinated and s t af'f'e d the visits which included an educational session highlighting and providing fact sheets on whales. In April, the project won the" 1995 Outstanding CLASS Project Award," presented by the Student Wisconsin Education Association (SWEA).

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

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

TV Nation hits Milwaukee by Joe Kane Entertainment Editor Described as "kamikaze 60 Minutes" and the left wing's answer to Rush Limbaugh, TV Nation rolled into Milwaukee on August 10. One of TV Nation's most popular representatives, Crackers-the Corporate Crime Fighting Chicken-made a stop in Milwaukee as part of a nationwide to u r , TV Nation is a Fox Network program which airs Fridays at 7 p.m. The show is hosted by Michael Mo o r e , perhaps best known for his scathing film documentary on the closing of the General MOIOrs plant in his home lawn of Flint, Michigan, Roger & Me. "If the police are the thin blue line between you and street crime, than I am the thin yellow line between you and corporate crime!" shouted Crackers to t h e cheering crowd of over 300 who had gathered at Milwaukee's City Hall. Citing statistics that street crime accounts for some $5 billion annually in the U,S. while corporate crime in the nation accounts for over $200 billion in losses every year, Crackers and TV Nation's producers were in Milwaukee to accept tips from citizens on examples of crimes committed by corporate America. Examples might include pollution of air, land and water, union busting, or accepting huge tax breaks only to layoff workers they promised to p r o t e c t , One of the show's producer's, Tia Lessin, stated that the crime shows currently airing focus exclusively on street crime (Cops, America's Most Wanted) which has a c t u a l l y been on the decline for 3-5 years while c o m p l e t e l y ignoring the pervasive and growing problem of corporate criminals. Crackers, for example, targeted t h e exorbitant fees charged by Philadelphia banks for bounced checks-the highest fees in the nation. Thanks to Crackers, Pennsylvania State Re p r e s e n t a t i v e Babette J 0 s e phs will be in t r 0- ducing the Fair Checking and Savings Account Fees Act to the Pennsylvania legislature this fall. A few of TV Nation's other recent segments include hiring the Manhattan's Gay Men's Choir to sing love songs outside Sen. Jesse Helms' Washington office; taking a half dozen representatives of the Michigan Militia to the carnival and getting t h e m sing (among other things) "Kumbaya," and "What the World Needs Now (is Love, Sweet Love);" taking their cameras to a Newt Gingrich fund-raiser in his home c o u n t y of Cobb, a Kane meets Crackers the Crime-Fighting Chicken Georgia and asking an 1i-g 0 v ern men t G ingrich supporters why, if they oppose government "intervention" in their lives so much, did the Cobb County residents accept more than $4 billion of federal money in 1994. "They set an example by sending Newt Gingrich as speaker of t h e House. I think they should set an example by sending some of their federal money back. If they hate the federal government so much, they should stop spending so much money," 'offers Moore. Though it suffers an abominable time slot (Fridays at 7 p.m.), television critics are stu m b lin g a v e r the rnselves to find superlatives to praise TV Nation. The Wall Street Journalsays the show is "both funny and irn p o rt an t ." The Miami Herald raves that it is "the best network TV can offer," while TV Guidereviewer Jeff Jarvis states, "Mark my words: TV Nation will be a classic!" entertainment September 7,1995· page 10 We're cleaning up our act!

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

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

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

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

She was recognized for this award because of her active partici pation in the Kaiser Group programs, which she did while working part-time at Sentry Foods, singing in her church choir, and preparing for her first year at college as an art major. Parking Policies 'Faculty, staff, and students are reminded, as the winter season approaches, that overnight parking on University property becomes a major concern ofthe university Police and Public Safety Department for the following reasons. Parking lots are closed for parking between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., all year long, for safety reasons. Anyone needing to park during those • hours must obtain permission from the University Police 'and Public Safety Department. Individuals failing to comply with this policy are subject to ticketing. With the approach of winter and the possibility of snow at any time, the overnight parking policy becomes even more critical to the safe and efficient operation of the campus. Vehicles parked overnight, without permission, are subject to ticketing, and in the event of a sufficient snow fall, are subject to towing. Vehicles parked overnight with permission will be contacted, and arrangements made to remove vehicles if possible. Parked vehicles, during snow emergencies, slow the progress of the Physical Plant employees who must plow the lots prior to the opening of school so that sufficient parking space is available. Plowing around parked vehicles takes additional time and normally takes additional parking spaces, which cannot be utilized by faculty, staff or students. Your cooperation in this matter will make the approaching winter season safe, and parking on University property, hassle free. Canale Earns reminds faculty, staff, and In addition, Chief Deane Award students that the new electronic meters in the Communications Arts lot are strictly for VISITORS, and all violators will be aggressively ticketed. Chronic violators (four or more unpaid citations) are subject to towing. Chief Deane states, "I'm sure that the University community will agree with me that installing two (2) hour VISITOR meters will benefit our campus. This change will make the University Wisconsin- 'Parkside more user-friendly to visitors, Prospective students, parents, and members of the Kenosha and Racine communities who may choose to attend the various social and academic functions hosted by the University. " •Marianne Sjoholm Guest Writer University of Wisconsin-Parkside freshman Sylvia Canale was awarded a Mayor's Youth Commission Award. Sylvia was one of sixteen selected because of her outstanding personal achievements and positive contribution to the community. Canale almost didn't make it to her own award ceremony. She received the letter from the Mayor's office and didn't open it until about four days before the event. Canale said when she did open the letter she was "surprised, really surprised." So surprised she didn't believe it. She called the Kenosha Public Information office to verify her nomination. The office acknowledged her award and asked if she was going to accept the invitation. Canale gladly accepted. Mayor John Antaramian presented the certificate and medallion at a Common Council meeting on October 16. The Youth Commission and the Mayor developed the award program to recognize the accomplishments and activities of the youth in the Black Student Union A Professional Club • Reggie Slaughter Guest Writer The University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Black Student Union has been working to change their image from being a social club to being a professional club. BSU is made up of more than 50 members, which is a dramatic increase compared to past years. This year, BSU plans on being more involved in the University as well as in the community. "We would like to do more programming than already planned for this year," stated Curtis Bickham, president of BSU, "but unfortunately, because of our budget restrictions, we cannot do all ofthe things we would like." BSU is practicing a dressup day the last Wednesday of every month. The purpose is to practice good dressing etiquette for white collar jobs and interviews. Dress-up day will also cause BSU to stand out in the public eye. Another important aspect that BSU wants to work on is its overall membership GPA. The club has written a scholarship proposal which will be sent to many local companies for donations. The plan is to have the scholarship up and running for Spring semester 1996. The scholarship will be awarded to BSU members that achieve a semester GPA of 2.5 or better. This scholarship should not only help students financially, but also encourage them to work harder. The club guarantees changes for the university as well as the community. BSU wants to be perceived as a club that takes care of business. "Life is like a business," said Damian Evans, BSU member. "In order to be successful, one must plan carefully and make the right decisions. " BSU has four committees to maximize their productivity. The Programming committee plans and organizes events. The Advertising committee promotes events. The Community Outreach committee sets up activities that involve volunteer work for BSU. The Fundraising committee raises the money that allows for BSU to continue all of their planned activities. Together, these four committees make the club more effective than otherwise. To offer support in any way, call Curtis Bickham or Reggie Slaughter (BSU Vice President) at 595-2731. , Share 'JourRanger with a friend ful'fu A change for Student Health Services • Kristine Hansen Staff Writer Next semester you might see Parkside students staggering across Wood Road in search of a remedy. You see, administration is proposing to move Student Health Services from Molinaro Hall to KR (KenoshalRacine MRI building). Counseling services and sexual assault programs would be forced to move, also. The move would require students and staff who are ill to walk across campus in the middle of winter for an aspirin or other non-prescriptive drug. Choosing to drive instead of walk is a problem also, as people don't want to lose parking places. Parkside has a large commuter population, so most can identify with this. Andrea Davis, chair of Disability Awareness Committee, is afraid the programs will flop if moved to KR. "To see all that is builtup, go down, is pretty sad," Davis said, referring to little usage of Student Health Services in the past. "We see it [the move] as a regression to what it used to be." "You see, you use. You don't see, you don't use," she attributes this idea to its current success in Molinaro Hall. Services for disabled students will also be forced to move across the street. Accessibility for persons in wheelchairs will be limited. "They're going to have to get a very large van to accommodate power chairs," said Davis. Disabled students requiring toilet assistance will just have to wait. "If you really wanted to use the bathroom, would you want to wait?" asks Davis. In the event of a medical emergency, particularly in . the dead of winter, response time will be significantly longer as the nurse must start the car and cross Wood Road to get to the center of campus. Dr. Grace's response is that the administration is not legally bound to provide that type of assistance. However a special asset of Parkside i~ that everything is under one roof. Why move these offices into inaccessibility? Vending machines with band-aids and aspirins could be made available to students, but would of course require spare change. Davis asks,"Why haven't students been approached?" She encourages students to write letters to Grace, letting him know you want to work with him on an alternate solution. "He cau't respond to students if they don't speak up," concludes Davis. Some solutions are having students pay an extra $5.00 each semester on their tuition, or moving Admissions, which caters to off-campus visitors, to KR. "Please, we want to do something. What can we do to work together?" Davis . says to Grace and students. So if you don't want to walk through the snow for an aspirin this winter, write to Grace. PSGA InTouch with U.S. Congressman Neumann • Kristine Hansen Staff Writer Two staff representatives from U.S. Congressman Mark Neumann's office spoke at last Friday's PSGA meeting. Tom Richie, PSGA president, invited Robin Vos and Mark Retledge "for informative reasons." "There are a lot of misconceptions about what is happening to student financial aid. This gave students the opportunity to ask questions, directly to the people who are responsible, and also an opportunity to clear up any misconceptions," said Richie. Mark Retledge opened up his talk commenting on PSGA's STOP sign in their office window, asking students to stop in and call their representatives about Congress' measures to cut student financial aid. · The 6 month grace period on student loans will not change; college graduates will have to pay the interest that accumulates during this period. This will cost an average of $9 per month and saves $3.5 billion. There will be a 50% increase in amounts available for student loans. 1995 yields $24 billion while 2002 predicts $36 billion. This is even taking into consideration the annual 5-6% college inflation on average. No dollar-wise cuts will occur in most of the financial aid programs, except for an increased $4 per month for the life of a Stafford loan. Any misconceptions on financial aid "cuts" come from failed measures to raise tuition. Retledge gave the example of Washington wanting to raise tuition, but then a university makes it less. "That's where the cut is," Retledge explains. One PSGA member commented on the behalf of all students that "We're trying to better ourselves, yet we're putting ourselves deeper in debt." The representatives' response is that students are being loaned money generously for 4 years and are given an additional 6 months before starting loan payments. Other business included plans for a United Council meeting at UW-Stout on November 11 and 12 in which five Parkside students will be attending. The main topic of discussion and debate will be a change in student segregated fees; currently 75 cents per student. The proposal is for 90 cents per student. Resolution 95-23, a proposal stating that PSGA nominations have to accept or decline before an election can take place, was read and accepted. A nominee must be either at the meeting or give a written and signed acceptance letter to a member of the Executive Branch. At Friday's meeting, 3 new senators were sworn in: Karen Diehl, Chastity Washington, and Steve Zieman, adding more power to student government at Parkside. were blown away, we all realized, if you think about it, 99.5% of all men have committed sexual assault in some way," stated Mateo Mackbee. The group is currently in the process of creating a curriculum for the college and high school levels and in the future they wish to move it into the elementary level. The men will learn about violence and women, violence on television and violence in video games. The men will then go out armed with the knowledge they gained in a 3-4 person group and educate about violence. To learn more about the program please contact the Peer Health Educators at 595-2365.

One group of men saw a speaker and saw that something need to be done. M.A.V.E.R.A.K.S., Men Against Violence Educating Racine and Kenosha Students formed by the men of the Peer Health Educators. The group formally started after a Residence Hall Association meeting. The Peer Health Educators meeting speaker was Edward Antaramian, Assistant City Attorney. The topic of discussion was sexual assault and rape. "We all IVCF Conference Held • Kristine Hansen Staff Writer Wisconsin Inter Varsity Fall Conference was held October 27-29, at Camp Wonderland. Four students from UW-Parkside's InterYarsity Christian Fellowship Chapter convened with InterVarsity members from other colleges and universities to address critical issues ofthe Christian life. Titled, "Cross Training", each conference participant chose from 7 tracks to follow. Inter Varsity staff, staff volunteers and resource people led the tracks with titles like "Choices: Tried, Tested, and True", "The Joy of Following Jesus", "The Joy of Bible Discovery", "The Joy of Growing Together", "Leadership Congress", "Twentysomething" and "Creative Evangelism." Ryan Silich, a Parkside sophomore, chose "The Joy of Following Jesus" track, designed to teach what it means for Christ to be first in your life, how to develop disciplines that nurture this relationship with Christ, and how to begin reaching out to others. After studying Luke 5 and the type of disciples God chose, Silich stated,"We're not God [and] we can't see whose hearts will be changed and those who will not." Silich noted that God chose disciples from several myriads. "The Joy of Growing Together" track studied 2 Timothy and how to assist peers in a growing and fruitful relationship with Christ. "I learned the only things eternal are the word of God and [His] people," Joe Herron, a Parkside student said. At Parkside, Herron is responsible for leading the InterVarsity's "large group" worship every Wednesday. "God has a plan for everyone's life," said Holly Roberson, Parkside's InterYarsity's Women's Discipleship leader .. Roberson's track focused on Abraham's faith and trust in God and studied the book of Genesis. Currently Roberson is heading Becoming a Woman of Excellence, a women's Bible study on campus. The "Leadership Congress' track took two representatives from each campusIthe chapter president and/or another delegate) to discuss and collaborate on Christian leadership in each InterVarsity chapter. Ann Larabee represented Parkside and showing gutsy leadership said,"If we're not praying, and asking God to work, [then] nothing will happen." This year Larabee has two leadership positions in Parkside's InterVarsity: Treasurer and Party Coordinator. InterVarsity meets Wednesdays at noon in Molinaro 107. Small Bible studies are also available throughout the week. aren't there for soul-searching drama now, are you? So this is the part where we explore the suburban culture of the mall, right? No, this is the part where Brody and T.S. act like stupid guys and bitch about being . dumped while doing nothing about it. Well, at least until the point where Brody corners his girl in an elevator intending to get her back, but instead gets laid. That's just the way things happen in this movie. Eventually, something like a plot develops. It involves a goofy dating-game show being held in the mall. The guys decide to hijack it to get their girls back. Happy-type ending, here we come. So why go see Mal/rats? A Kevin Smith Double Feature Film & Video Review Mal/rats/Clerks Bob and Jay (we'll get back to them later). Mal/rats begins with a double dumping. First, T.S.'s girlfriend dumps him for being just like her dad, except that he has no ambition. Then Brody gets dumped crudely for being a comic book-crazed, Segaplaying geek with no ambition (He is, of course, playing Sega while she dumps him). Solution to their problem?- hit the mall. What ensues is, of course; silly and pointless, but if you're in the theater, you • Ty Wilda & Angela Woosley So what is Mal/rats? Another angst-ridden story of Generation X-type things that dwells on how aimless and hopeless today's youth are? A goofy, comedy-type thing filled with zany teenage antics? A beautiful story of teen romance where the good guy gets the girl after realizing what a jerk he is? Basically, it's a little of all of the above, which is a lot more fun than it sounds. Besides that, it has Silent Because it's fun. It has slackers acting stupid and having pointless and silly conversations about Superman's sex life. But most importantly it has Silent Bob and Jay, who absolutely steal the movie. Their half-assed plots to ruin the game show and help their friends involve several crashes through dressing rooms and about a half-- ounce of pot. Not to mention Silent Bob's constant attempts to master Jedi mind powers throughout the movie. (He just saw Return of the Jedi last week, you see, and ....) Kevin Smith has fun with Generation X stereotypes in this movie which recreates all the fun of the Brat Pack movies of the '80's without the angst. Mal/rats gives him a chance to do every. thing in a movie he has always wanted to in the sPan of an hour and a half or so including a cameo by comi; book writer Stan Lee, don. ning Bat gear and swinging through a mall, displayinga three-nippled woman and showing up mall security as the rent-a-cop wannabes they are. Clerks, now available on video, was Kevin's debut as a filmmaker. Shot in black and white film on a minimal number of locations (mostly the interior of a convenience store), it is an example of how much can be done on a shoestring budget. Like cont. page 8... He Said, She Said... The Hair and Now •Michael T. Zurad Humble Servant This is going to sound like a double standard, but the one feature that all men secretly pray that women overlook when they look at guys is one ofthe things that first catches a man's eye on a woman. That feature is hair. It sounds so shallow. In all honesty we'd rather spend time with someone we get along with than some cranky bitch with awesome hair. But the way human nature is set up, people generally look at other people's heads first. Hair usually occupies more than 50% of a woman's head, so it is kind of tough to not notice her hair. Unless she's got a great butt. That will easily eclipse hair, But I digress. Women almost always have better hair than men. This is due to several reasons. First, women almost always have more hair than men. This is an unfair advantage. Most men can't grow their hair long unless they pursue unrewarding careers involving manual labor, engineering, or the custodial arts. And who is to say that those who do can even grow hair? Women spend a disproportionate amount of time taking care of their hair. Women actually think about their hair-much more than men. Women will spend hours pondering about what they're going to do with their hair: what color hair, what color thingie to put in the hair, do the shoes match the color of the thingie in the hair, what about these hats, is the hair too long, is the hair too short, is it too frizzy, is the hair damaged? Men generally ask two flavors of questions, if they ever ask at all, and those are: "Should I wash my hair before I pick her up?" and "How come the only hair that isn't falling out are the gray ones?" The average woman spends approximately seven times the gross national product' of Costa Rica on hair care products every month. These include various derivatives of mousse and hair spray that, for the most part, cancel each other out. They have to use some acid-based shampoo to disintegrate that crap from their hair. Then they have to use some kind of delicate shampoo because they wash their hair too much. The average guy washes his hair with a bar of Lava. Ifhe feels like splurging, he'll pick up a bottle of Pert. Women, after spending enough time in front of the mirror to plant, raise, and harvest a modestly sized apple orchard, check themselves in the mirror, on average, 387 times more frequently than men. Unless he is Italian. Then the ratio is about one to one. There's some kind of Italian frequent comber miles program they've got going. So hair is yet another battle that men are winning because we spend less time, we spend less money, and we don't have to look at ourselves all day. We get to look at women with great heads of hair. Assuming it's her head we're looking at. • Karen M. Diehl Managing Editor Hair. Biologically, it's just a few thousand strands of waste proteins excreted from follicles in your skin. It serves the very utilitarian purpose of keeping our ears warm in the wintertime, and it's even useful for flossing when you're standing at a Kansas concert with corn stuck between your teeth. Hair can be a religious . symbol, a political statement, and most importantly a sign of individual style and fashion. There can be little argument that when it comes to first impressions, hair will almost always factor into the equation. I don't know of a single woman who doesn't look at a prospective date and think, "Ooh! Cool highlights ..." or, "Neat eyes, but lose the sideburns ..." or, "Eew. Balding is okay, but that 'hair flap' combed over the top has GOT to go." Personally, I find that a person's hair speaks to me on more than an aesthetic level. I find that I'm often not attracted by the hair itself, but rather by the attitude it projects. Hair, believe it or not, is also an effective media for communication. Women - and some men, I suppose - speak very adequately through their hair styles. Depending on mood and personality, these people can create a style that yells, "You DON'T want to mess with me ...J" or says, "Hi. I'm feeling very blah today." Other "hair-conscious" people can pick up on these vibes and respond accordingly. The frustration in being a woman, of course, occurs when you run across a "hair oblivious" guy. Guys have a more extended opportunity to be "hair oblivious" because they can generally keep theirs short and simple without worry of the style it projects. Most guys have short, simple haircuts. Women, on the other hand, are - and historically always have been - nearly obligated to do something special or unusual with her locks. If she doesn't, she must not be very concerned about how she appears. Ifshe does too much, then she must be vain. It's somewhere in the hearts of most women to have that special guy acknowledge her fmesse at striking a balance between frivolous and frumpy. Hence, when encountering a "hair oblivious" guy, man) women may feel like they're running into a brick wall. Finally, it is important to note that whatever your style - dark, stubbly, thin, coarse, braided, curly, shiny, or even bald as a cueball - don't be too judgmental of someone else's "do". Hair is a very personal representation of our values, our cultures and our beliefs. And besides, who hasn't had a bad hair day .... Parkside Students Get Involved • Diane Scering Staff Writer "Involvement" is U.w. Parkside's new mission statement· and a group of Parkside ,tud:nts have been taking that mission very seriously, Several freshmen from Roseann Mason's Cross Cultural Reading and Writing class donated their time and energy on Saturday, October 21, doing just that. Their efforts turned a popular catch-phrase, "Think Globally, Act Locally,"into action, during the 5th Annual Work-a- Thon. The goal of the project was to help build a stronger local community, as well as offer support on a global capacity. The Work-a- Than was sponsored by C.A.S.C. (the Central American Solidarity Coalition), an organization designed to make a difference for families in Racine. EI Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Chiapas, Mexico. On the global level, the support donated by Parkside students as well as volunteers !'romPark High School went to elevate some of the need in several areas. Although the students did not meet their goal of 100 or more pledges, the money they did raise helped support a truck bound for Mexico carrying writing materials, medicine. hooks, etc. Locally, their work affected Habitat for Humanity, Youth Cultural reading and writing class Fair Chance, the George Bray Neighborhood Center, and Homeward Bound. They spent the day working on many projects throughout downtown Racine, including cleaning up a local homeless shelter and clearing out the old Zahn's building downtown, the future site of the Children's Imaginarium. I met with a dozen or so of the participants and informally chatted about their volunteer experience. Lisa. a Parkside freshman, declared proudly, "I used a sledge hammer and a crow bar .. .in a skirt!"

Dawn said the best part was "getting to know her classmates better." (One even claimed to have found O.J.'s glove.) To many of them, the job was just part of their class assignment; but to to others. it was an occasion to actually see what being in need really means and how being of service really feels. They all agreed that they would do it again. "on a better day...it was kinda hard, kinda cold." To have a goal or make a difference takes involvement. The phrase "Think Globally, Act Locally" is not just a tired phrase. as these freshman discovered. When we get involved, we often discover a larger purpose. By helping others, we actually help ourselves. Who Have Served Their Sentence Be Released Into The Community?" The presentation is a dialogue featuring THe Honorable S.

This week's uolunteer in Mark Ulmen: Mark Ulman is a senior majoring in English with a concentration in writing. He learned about the program through a friend who had volunteered. Mark's interest has been . in special events that allows him to share his weekend hours with community needs. This fall, he has volunteered at the 1888 School House Open House for the Racine County Historical Museum, the Music Festival for SEWAP, Octoberfit and Halloween Havoc for Kenosha Youth Foundation, and the Chili Cookoff for Kenosha Kinship. "Volunteering has given me a chance to interact with others," said Mark. "I always feel good afterwards, knowing I helped someone." While volunteering at the music festival in Racine, a person attending the festival suggested Mark apply for a job with the training process. One Mark Ulmen never knows who they will meet while volunteering. Heather Them, Special Events Coordinator for the Parkside Volunteer Program Thinks Mark should be honored as Volunteer of the Week. "Mark is always willing to help with a variety of agencies. He is continuously coming in to see what new volunteer opportunities are available. Mark often volunteers for more than one shift. The agencies which he has helped have nothing but good things to say about him and are always eager for his return." Thanks, Mark, for spending your weekend hours helping the non-profit agencies serve the community. Math Club Answer • Jim Hendrickson Math Club Correspondent Last time. Babv Bear han announced he had found the word, to his parents' utter amazement. "Wow; gushed Mama Bear. "I'm amazed," said Papa Bear. "I didn't think you were all that bright." "Anyway, Goldilocks here gave us 6 words, PIE, INN, TIE, PET, PEN, TEE," continued Baby Bear, who wishes to be known as B.B. "She gave us each one letter. There were 5 letters she could have given us: E,I,N,~T." . "Yeah, yeah. Enough expoartion. Get on with it!" exclaimed an exasperated Mama Bear. "Well, she said none of us knew how many vowels there were," continued B.B. "None of us could have gotten an N, because the 2 words with N had only one vowel apiece. So, we were down to PIE, TIE, PET, and TEE." "Thank you," said B.B. "Next, Goldilocks told us none of us knew how many consonants there were. Well, if any of us had the letter I, we would know there was only one consonant in the word. That left PET and TEE." "So how did you know which it was?" asked Papa Bear. "She only gave us those clues." "Elementary," responded B.B. "I got the P, so the word is PET. If she had given me a T or an E like she gave you two, there's m way any intelligent ursine - much less a person - could have come up with the word. Either PET or TEE would have been viable. You two did not have the right letters to solve the riddle." "You are absolutely right, B.B.; said Goldilocks, with a sly smile. "Only you could have solved this riddle." "Aw,shucks," said B.B., blushing. "Now would you bears like to help m~ eat bread and wine I got from a lost little girl With a red cape?" asked Goldilocks. "Wouldwe ever!" said the bears, in unison.

Indianapolis is coming off a 2- 1 first round upset over firstseed Lewis in the conference tournament. Head coach Rick Kilps isn't taking the eighth seed lightly.

Each team is required to play two conference and two non.con. ference games, with a common goal: to attend the champ]. onship tournament. The championships are held in different cities each year. Philadelphia was the host of last season's tournaments in which Fresno, California's "Red Roller's" were crowned the win. ner's. Another requirement of the NWBA is a twelve point rule system with the players. Each member is classified into different categories and are determined by a point system that make the game equal for beth parties. Players are separated into three classes of abilities. A Class 3 player is a person who has the most control over their bodies, a Class 2 athlete is half of the ability, and Class 1 is less. The age of players range from 15 to 45 years of age. • Derek Bishop Staff Writer Sports is defined by the athlete's ability to produce an effort toward a goal of desire. When the words "handicapped" and "disabled" are spoken, it is sometimes followed with the thoughts of a prejudice toward their abilities to produce in the world of sports. To redefine the thinking of impurity, and to prove the power of the human spirit can live on in each case that the almighty has given to the individual, the National Wheelchair Basketball Association was established to crusade for the cause of equality.

Late in the second half, Parkside had another scoring chance when Siers hit Senior Pat White with a through ball that left White one on one with Indianapolis goalkeeper. White knocked the baIl in to finish the scoring. The.physical play of Indianapolis led to their 19 fouls to Parkside's 13, and their yellow cards to Parkside's 1. "Today's game was one of the most brutal games I've ever been a part of. I'm extremely disappointed with the cheapness of Indianapolis and their lack Ailing Rangers Fall Final • In of sportsmanship," said Ranger head coach Rick Kilps. Indianapolis used a variety of defensive tactics to contain UW-P star Pat White. "Pat White was taken down every time he· touched the ball. When he was away from the ball, he was tripped. When an Indianapolis player got a yellow card for taking White down, they'd just send in another guy off the bench to use the same tactics on Pat," added Kilps In the brutal contest, Parkside lost defender Dave Johnson early and Siers near the end. Star defender Craig Posselt did not play in the game and will miss the Conference Finals as well. 'We'll be put together with Band-Aids for Sunday's game. It'll be another difficult match because both Southern Indiana and North Kentucky are physical teams," said coach Kilps.

AI; a political science professor and Public Service Internship Program (PSIP) coordinator he has launched intern positions with local agencies, extend- ing from Chicago to Milwaukee. The program, which is not exclusive to political science majors, places Parkside stu- dents in positions such as with a Cook County judge or Channel 2 reporter in Chicago, the office of U.S. Congressman Mark Neumann, the Milwaukee offices of U.S. Senators Russell Feingold and Herb Kohl, or southeastern Wisconsin newspapers like Kenosha News, Racine Journal Times, or The Milwaukee Journal . Interns are also available through local district attorneys' offices and Kenosha and Racine police ·departments. Geared towards juniors and seniors, interested stu- dents should fill out an application in Molinaro 367 not less than six weeks before the beginning of the semester that the internship will occur. - At least a C+ average is needed and the applicant must not be on academic pro- bation. Placement is figured through an interview process at various agencies; some placements will require a course in political science. Though up to 12 credits can be earned, 3 to 6 credit hours is normal, depending on how many hours worked. Most of the intern positions are unpaid, and the paid ones are usually in the sum- mer months. The PSIP program has a two-fold purpose. Students are getting jobs as a result of the internship and are "edu- cating some of these agencies about students," said Pernacciaro. In some cases, interns have been awarded scholar- ships to law schools and grad schools from their internship site. "You're getting practical experience, picking up skills and getting recommenda- tions," said Pernacciaro. II Ex staff member attacks Education Dean Shade ing has been done" about Shade, stating that the administration has ignored . complaints about her. Regarding the whistler- blower complaint, Waller indicated that there are "money damages" involved and said, "I wonder how much they can afford to be awful." Beth Adelson, a former Parkside Education student , stated, "Personally dealing with Dr. Shade ...I never had any problems. "I'm disturbed and con- cerned by the loss of so many wonderful professors ...there are great professors who are now gone. And I wonder why these good 'teachers are leav- ing," Adelson said. Adelson also spoke about the decision not to send stu- dent teachers to rural Kenosha and Racine schools "They talk about diversity, ' but they're only sending stu- dents to one kind of school." "Some of my best experi- ences were in schools with only ten percent minority," Adelson said. "I believe students that are going to be teachers ...need to see multiple types," said Gale Ryczek, Superintendent ofthe Bristol Consolidated School district. Ryczek indi- cated that he had been told by Shade that their schools were not "multi culturally diverse" and student teach- ers would no longer be placed there. "Our culture is diverse," Ryczek said, "we have kids that speak a number of dif- ferent languages in their homes." Despite the placement decision, Ryczek states that Shade "called and wanted to know why I hadn:t contacted, her."

A male student who pre- ferred not to be identified , described meeting with Shade in an impromptu meeting. "She threw a curve ball at me," he said. He states that he was informed his GPA was not adequate for the program and that complaints had been filed against him. The student then reported checking his record to find that it was clean and that his GPA was "in good shape," he said. The matter is cur- rently pending consideration with Vice Chancellor Ostheimer and the student is considering seeking legal counsel. "Dean Shade basically does whatever she wants to do...there is no collaboration there is no democracy and ' that's how I felt when I was there," Adelson said.

Are you listening? Inthe lane, snow is ...HEY! Are you listening? You never listen to anything I say. And even when I ring sleigh bells-big, loud, nasty honkin' sleigh bells-you're off someplace else. And just like that, a simple Christmas carol is transformed into a lively argument. Arguments are healthy, though. It keeps the road of communication open, even if it's a rough one. But when the road is closed-or when carolers at the door provoke night long fights-it's probably time to re-evaluate your situation. I'd like to get through my half of the column with as few Neil Sedaka references as possible (column column down, doobie doo ~own down), but they say that breaking up is hard to do. (They talk a lot, don't they?) Anything that once greatly enhanced your life, i.e., playoff games, a twenty dollar bill, your soul mate, is going to cause you despair when they're lost. Unless your team didn't even make it to the playoffs. Man buys ring, woman throws it away. Same damn thing happens everyday. But some couples have more at stake than others, and these matters ("we're married, and she's the rich one") further complicate things. Divorces are expensive, involve lawyers, and are generally ugly. Children become pawns in their parents' wicked games. Even when it's strictly physical, there's still something missing afterwards-the other person. Ifyou've learned anything from this column over this semester, it is that men are rational and women are ...not. However, all rationality gets thrown out the window-along with all the little things to remember her by-just before the relationship does. When a relationship collapses on itself, it leaves an enormous and powerful black hole that sucks in everything and makes everything suck. I generally do not actively advocate the termination of any relationship, because if! didn't want to be in a relationship, I wouldn't have put myself there in the first place. Communication heals all wounds. But how do you talk when both the man and woman have gone bonkers? How can you resolve a situation that will not change? Removing yourself from the situation works, and this allows you to divert your time to such healthy activities as revenge, moping, aggressive driving, drinking alone, Nine Inch Nails, and looking for Miss Rebound. Hey! Time for some male bonding, household projects, or automotive repair. A real man would incorporate all three into one, in addition to a few of the healthy activities defined above. Hey! Wonder what's on TV? Look!' You've got the remote, although a real man would have had the remote all along. And you can break wind for as long and as loud as you like. Isn't life grand? Of course life is grand! It's great to be alive! Just keep telling yourself that. Ifyou were an awesome writer, but had to move on with your life and abandon your column for The Real World, she wouldn't dream of continuing it with someone else! You are irreplaceable! She knows that! One fine day, you'll show her! Of course, you will have forgotten all about it by then.

" Karen Diehl Breaking up sucks. Whether you're the one doing the breakfng or the one, er, being broken, It s rarely a pleasant expenence. Like a root canal. Or finals week. Or a pelvic exam. Eew. One ofthe funny things about ending a relationship is that the responsibility for the break-up always falls into the hands of the person who brings it up first. I don't care how nice the ending was, there's always a "dumper" and a "dum pee." "It was a mutual decision" is just a nice way of saying, "He dumped me before I had a chance to dump him." And people know this! Have you ever said, "It was mutual," to someone? Do you know what their first response is? Something like, "Oh ... so, are you okay with it? Is he okay with it? Who started it?" They want to know who got dumped! Although I personally don't have a whole lot of experience in this category, being the "dumper" can't be much fun. Let's face it, at least 90% of the time when a relationship ends, one of the 2 parties involved isn't happy about it. So, if you're the "dumper", you're pretty much taking someone else's emotional state into your own hands - and then squishing it. Yeah, that'd make me feel like turning cartwheels. Being the "dum pee" isn't any picnic, either. If you're at the receiving end of a break-up, thin, but it still works.

Anmve "dum pee" might understand thl implications of "I'm leaving you. or "It's over," or even, "Let'stry' being friends - you know, see other people." However, it tak~ a person trained in The Art of Being Dumped to recogoize, 'VI want different things out of ths relationship," or "I can't answer all your questions, so maybe I'm not what you need," or the sly, "We need to slow down."

The Quilt began in a San Francisco neighborhood as a memorial to the more than 1,000 San Franciscans who died of AIDS between 1980 and 1987. Word of the Quilt quickly spread and thousands more panels were added. The Quilt now contains over 31,000 panels and would cover 13 football fields. All 50 states and 38 other countries have contributed panels. Panel materials are very diverse, including everything from jock straps, condoms. and feather boas to Barbie doll" stuffed animals, and wedding rings. Regardless of the materials or number of panels, the goals ofthe Quilt remain the same: to preserve the memory of those who have died as a result of AIDS, to increase awareness of AIDS and HIV prevention, and to increase support for those living with AIDS and HIV. Marcy Cayo, Program Manager of Parkside's Health and Counseling Services, was instrumental in bringing the panels to Parkside. Cayo said of the Quilt: "Some of the panels, you don't know what they mean. Some are very vague. Some are very clear. You think, 'Gosh, this is what he was about.'" In order to get the panels for this week's commemoration of World AIDS Day the panels had to be reserved a year in advance. The university had to pay a small fee ($250 - $300) and had to guarantee the security of the panels. Itis hoped that the Quilt will raise awareness of AIDS here at Parkside and in Southeastern Wisconsin. According to a survey published in the October 1995 Wisconsin AIDS / HIV Update, there were 227 cases of AIDS or HIV infection reported in Kenosha County and 237 cases reported in Racine County between 1982 and Sept. 30, 1995. Anyone interested in confidential and anonymous testing should contact the Kenosha Health Dept. (653-6950) or the Racine Health Dept. (636-9498) or, for more information, contact the Southeast Wisconsin AIDS Project at 657-6644 or 1-800· 924-6601.

Keanu Less Than Memorable as Johnny • TY Wilda In the future, according to the cyberpunk author William Gibson, evil COrporations rule the earth with an eye only on the profit margin, the Yakuza roam the streets killing Without restriction, epidemics that make AIDS look harmless abound and hard wired heads are as common as color TVs. In the future according to Johnny Mnemonic, all of these elements are incapable of combining to create an interesting movie. The movie concerns an information courier known only as Johnny (Keanu Reeves). In his head is stored the cure for a neurological disease of the future that is dropping the citizenry like flies. The only problem is, he can't get it out and everyone wants it. Reeves wanders through this role listlessly, barking out monotone lines as he runs from everyone who wants his info. It's really a shame that he can't be killed without losing the data, because after about the first 20 minutes of the film you wish that someone would put him and us out of our misery. He faces off against an endless supply of Japanese killers whose characterizations are slightly less deep than the Japanese bad guys of a World War II propaganda film. Along the way he meets with friends IceT and Henry Rollins, rock and rap stars turned actors in charge of the stereotypical friendly underground/rebellion. Ice T plays the same function here as he did in Tank Girl, the mistrusting, tough talking rebel leader who will eventually save the day. Rollins comes in as the brilliant doctor who's going to save the world with Johnny's data. Somehow both of these characters have more substance to them than Reeves' title character, which sums up one of the real problems with the movie, everyone else is just bouncing around Johnny, waiting for him to get attacked by the enemy so they can save his life yet again, but all of them are able to care for him a lot more than he can make the audience care. Johnny Mnemonic is big on effects and flash. It features a dystopian futureworld that rivals the beauty and technology shown in Blade Runrter. There are cyberspace scenes using state of the art computer graphics that are visually stunning and captivating. It's lacking in emotional appeal. There is just nothing here to make you care what happens next. Gibson's original story that the film was based on was only a short story and the padding necessary to make it into a two hour movie shows. Long on action and effects and short on story and character, Johnny Mnemonic fails to pull the viewer in. • Sy Stevens A small group of the Parkside women's cross country team arrived back home this past monday from running the 1995 United States Cross Country Championships, which took place at Franklin Park in the city where Cheers was born. The race consisted of two races, the Senior Nationals which was a 6K (3.7 miles) open race, and the Junior Nationals which was 5K (3.1 miles) for women 19 years of age and under. The top six runners of the senior race hurdle themselves to the World Cup Championships which will be held in March of 1996. The winner of tire Senior Nationals, which was comprised of 238 runners, was Joan Nesbit from the Boston area with a course record time of 19:02.

They are in good shape coming out of last weekend's tournament with two champions. There were 16 schools represented and 224 wrestlers packed into Parkside's PhyEd building on Saturday. Roger Spear won the 118 lb division. He had four wins and no losses for the day. All of Rogers wins were by major decision or match termination, where he beat his opponent by 15 points or more. Jeremie Ott dominated his opponents winning the 177 lb weight class. He won his first match ofthe day with a pin and finished with one of the most exciting matches and a come from behind victory. At 158 pounds, Boone Smith took second at the tournament losing the championship round by a tie breaker. Senior, Myles Muckerheide placed third in the 167 lb weight class. Out of the 224 competitors, Myles was picked by coaches and referees for the Ray Larson Sportsmanship Award. Myles also beat Mike Schneider of Marquette who had pinned four opponents earlier that day. Myles Muckerheide Parkside had three ofthe top six in the 134 lb weight class. They included Freshman Brad Shefchik who took fourth, Trevor Hasenjager (last years NAJA National Champion at 118 lbs) and Shawn Maye, alsoa freshman, who tied with Trevor for fifth. Freshman Andy Tubbs placed fifth in the 190 lb weight class. Brett Stubblefield and Todd Raymond both took sixth in the 158 lb and heavyweight respectively. This week Parkside has three tough dual meets. The schedule this season will be tougher that previous years but Coach Koch is optimistic, "We have some outstanding freshman that have contributed to the team and we are relatively healthy." This season Koch hopes to have three or four All-Americans and that is definitely not out of reach for the wrestlers.

Even if they are meager, if you have had a rough go of it, you are still breathing and as long as you are there IS a chance for you for a better life. During the last few months, life has been more stimulating for me than I would have preferred. But, I believe that God is in heaven, arid that he has given me many talents. He expects me to use my talents wisely, and he expects you to do the same. God bless you and have a good holiday season. We'll talk again in January. 5'11",200 pounds, with a salt-and-pepper beard. J\t the time of the incident, he was wearing metal frame glasses, a baseball cap, navy slacks, and cowboy boots. He was carrying a cellular phone. "He looked like a normal person," said Hansen. "He didn't look dangerous or anything." "What gets me is that it was 10 to 15 minutes before anyone showed up," said one witness to the capture. "It shouldn't be 10 minutes at a small university like Parkside." There were other accounts of people witnessing acts of misconduct in the hours leading up to the confrontation.

One could wonder if these so-called "industry leaders" receive a bounty for every job that they get rid of! Much has been given, and much should have been received. The only consolation is that someday, much will be required of them. I hope that I only live to see that day. This concept means more than money.

HUNGARY oCJ Nelson Ranger Communist 'tis the season for reflection on one's blessings. The biblical concept of "To whom much is given, much is required" has been on my mind. When this concept" is mentioned in church it usually refers to money, but it means much more than that. If you have many blessings, be them money, education, the love and enjoyment of a stable family life, or a stable and lucrative occupation, you also have a' commensurate responsibility that accompanies them. Society seems to be missing this point. Once upon a time, part of the so-called American Myth was the concept of responsibility for community good. This is where the Rush Limbaughs and the Newt Gingriches of the world err. Rush is eternally asking on his show, "Why should people who "have" pay for those who "have not?" The answer, my corpulent one, is that this nation does not (or at least, didn't used to) aspire to emulate the conditions that Charles Dickens found so repugnant 170 years ago. One hundred years ago, Social Darwinism defended the rampant and One Liberal's Opinion "Barb Churchill Ranger columnist CJ's column this week talks of people who have failed to use their immense wealth and talent to help those of us that are less fortunate, and exhorts those of us at Parkside to use our education wisely, and not just for our personal gain. As far as it goes, I am in complete agreement. But, his column does not go far enough. Social Darwinism has reared its ugly head again here in Wisconsin. No better explanation of this is required than the new "Wisconsin Works," or W-2 program that will be replacing Welfare as of Jan. 1, 1996. This program fails to take into account education OR people with serious illness, and puts everyone into the same category. This is just plain wrong. Now, if everyone in the world could work, they should. And, most do. Itis demeaning for an adult to take Welfare or SSI money when they could be working and earning their OWN way. And, yes, there are some deadbeats out there that could and SHOULD be working, but they don't. However, punishing everyone for the sins of a few is inexcusable. What good 01' lovable Tommy Thompson (the honorable one himself) has failed to take into account is that some people (temporarily or permanently) simply CANNOT work. Those people include cancer patients (pretty hard to work while taking chemo or radiation), the elderly (you mean that my eighty-seven year old grandma would HAVE to work if she didn't have her savings and her house?), the very young, and students. Yes, students! The current proposal for W-2 would force some of our lowincome Parkside students to work rather than go to school and improve themselves. They might be forced to take minimum or sub-minimum wage jobs (yes, W-2 provides for this too) rather than continuing in their efforts to build a better life. And, last of all, W-2 would hurt the very young by denying their mothers AFDC benefits. After two years on Welfare, AFDC benefits (even if there are young children in the house) will be cut off, regardless of how hard the people are trying or how severe the need. Whoever thought this program up needs his head examined. This program will cause more pain than any other in existence. Even rationed health care (coming soon, due to Medicare and Medicaid cutbacks) is. not as big a threat as this W-2. And it is built squarely on Social Darwinist principles-the survival of the fittest, and (more importantly) the survival of the RICHEST. Right now, the city of Racine is reeling. We have the highest crime rate in the state, a Senator that should and will be recalled (due to the fact that he does not feel the need to listen to his constituents), federal and state cutbacks, a new county sales tax that we don't want or need, and now this new W-2 program. The mind reels. The problem is that the state's priorities are seriously screwed up. Rather than helpmg the workmg poor with tax breaks, help with further education, and with new programs designed to help those most in need, they shaft us. Again and again and again. We almost need a miracle in order to get out from under. And that is not what America is all about. During this Christmas season, do your best to help those less fortunate, and pressure your legislators to help the lower and lowermiddle classes. It's time to "take back" our country from over-paid lobbyists and nonlistening representatives. If we raise our voices, we can not and WILL not be held down forever. Remember, God helps those who help themselves, and right now we need a peaceful revolution to get our country working again. .irresponsible capitalism the day by arguing that God allowed the rich to become richer because they were more fit as people.

He's ... the American President. Do they have a realistic chance at having a meaningful relationship with the leeches from the media following their every move during an election year? Director Rob Reiner suggests in his engaging movie The American President that they have a great chance. Andy loves Sydney. But the romance isn't that simple. As a widowed President (Michael Douglas), Andy Shepard's been able to avoid all character attacks from his rivals because it's not smart politics to go on the offensive against a widower. When the lonely widower begins to date a former political activist and present-day adversary of politicians (Annette Bening), President Shepard's chief rival Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss) goes on the attack. The result is a media circus with Rumson as the ringmaster. The film is a resounding success, as a romantic comedy and as a look at American politics. You don't have to take a 400-level PoliSci class to understand the political complexities involved in the film, but it's not at the third-grade level either. Reiner reaches an intelligent, happy medium. Romantically, Reiner tries to make a Capra-esque love story. Sydney is completely intimidated by the White House scene at first. While Andy acknowledges that he "has the best home court advantage in the world," he refuses to take the relationship slowly. They dive in, and to Reiner's credit, end up as a fantastic couple. As the public begins to question the President's "family values" because of his affair, opinion polls show the President is in a free-fall, plummeting from a 63% approval rating to 41% in seventy days. But Andy understands that he's guilty only of falling in love. He refuses to fight the bully Rumson on the character issue in the press. He has no comment about Sydney to the bloodhounds who follow his every move. The main focus of The American President is the question "what real right does the public have in regards to the private life of a political figure?" This topic is entirely relevant in today's tele-crazed society (just ask Bill Clinton or onetime presidential contender Gary Hart). President Shepard reacts with a "no comment." He feels that any comment would lend credibility to his rivals' seedy claims and end up working against him. When his approval rating hits an embarrassing 41% though, he is forced into action. The result is retribution, politically and, after Sydney begins to feel the strain of the relationship, romantically. The American President also does an excellent job of showing us the merry-goround and fantasyland that is the Presidency. When Sydney spends the night at the White House, panic ensues among the President's staff and their intimacy is interrupted by the revolving door of nervous advisors. There are several sparkling performances in the film. While there is already Oscar-talk about Douglas's great performance as the title character, I believe Bening deserves. equal praise. Bening is completely giddy, yet strong. As a lobbyist she is intelligent. As a loveinterest she is striking. Bening is helped by the fact that the movie is as much hers as it is Douglas's; Reiner portrays not only the President's struggles with an unrelenting media, but he also shows Sydney's downsides, both privately and professionally. MichaelJ. Fox, who's been playing the same character for the last ten years, breaks out of his slump with a superb performance as President Shepard's antsy Domestic Policy Advisor. Martin Sheen also gives a winning portrayal as Shepard's Chief of Staff and best friend. But the performance that everyone will talk about is Douglas's. Douglas is splendid in the very difficult role. He comes across as a decent guy who just wants to return to the time when the President was given the benefit of the doubt in his private life. Unfortunately for him that time is long past. Douglas also does a good job of showing his funny side (before going to bed with Sydney for the first time, he reminds her that "the most powerful man in the world" is only a political term). The performance is wellrounded and worthy of all the acclaim it will receive. When was the last successful romantic comedy! intriguing political film? .. It's been a long, long time. Director Rob Reiner's The American President is quite an accomplishment, and quite a film. Christmas Music • Barb Churchill Ranger Curmudgeon Christmas music everywhere, and 'not a drop to drink.' Yes, folks, the overabundance of Christmas music is driving me nuts. As of this writing, there is still over twenty days to Christmas, and yet you'd think it was going to be tomorrow by all the Christmas music in the stores and on the radio stations. Even Muzak (elevator music) has gotten into the act, playing one Christmas song (like the ever-popular" Jingle Bells) over and over and OVER again until you're sick of it. Then they playa Muzak standard such as Barbra Streisand's "Wet." It's enough to make me hurl! At the malls, they have (unfortunately for us consumers) picked up on this Muzak trend, and feature thousands of different versions of "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow," "Jingle Bells," the "Christmas Song" (otherwise known as "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire."), and of course "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." Better titles for the above records (after you've heard them one too many times) are "Let it Snow so you can get into a car accident and die," "Jingle Bell Hell," "Fire-roasting your chestnuts over Christmas Day while watching the Packers beat the Bears," and "Rudolph lords it over the other inferior reindeer." A few songs like "I am Santa Claus," by Black Sabbath are appropriate Christmas type tunes, but the others can "take a long walk off a short pier" as far as I'm concerned. So, what can you do about this Christmas song invasion! Refuse to hum, sing, or otherwise participate in Christmassong singing until the week of Christmas. If you are into alternative music, get out all your favorite albums and sing to them. One older song that I like singing to after listening to Christmas songs all day at work is "Man in the Wilderness" by Styx. And, of course, there is always my favorite song, "Dirt," that I can sing along with that immediately washes the bad taste out of my mouth. "Oh, you are so special. You have the talent, to make me feel like dirt. Oh, you use your talent, to fake me under, and cover me with dirt." This song always helps to remove Christmastype propaganda from my brain. So, do whatever you like to do to drive these mindless, boring, and pretentious Christmas songs from your life. It'll do you some good to remind yourself of the tedium, mediocrity, and futility of daily life after listening to sickly-sweet Christmas songs EVERYWHERE YOU GO. "~~P,'P1~ ~.Q1- ss etu.-I" Top Ten goes on, from p.2 ruin next year? Big time soundtrack albums: It's apparently not enough for the movie business to get your ticket price, now they want you to buy the CD too. The problem is, does anyone remember extensive use of any of the songs from the Batman Forever or Johnny Mnemonic soundtracks in the movies? Junior: Did the world really need yet another pregnant man movie? Especially one featuring Schwarzenegger? Thomany damn kid movies: It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the merchandising. Was there anything imaginable that you could buy this past summer without a picture of Pocahontas on it? Quentin Tarantino: I'm one of his biggest fans actually, but he is really beginning to be overused and overrated. The Net: The information superhighway is the newest bad movie device to come into vogue. I wish my E-Mail was as coolas the system in Disclosure or that it was easy to get rid of someone using it as it was to get rid of Sandra Bullock in The Net. Comedy sketches as movies: Stuart Saves His Family? The Jerky Boys? The fine work of Adam Sandler? C'mon people, is it really that hard to come up with an entertaining idea? • Threats of government intervention: Big government thinks that the movie industry is what is eroding today's society and destroying family values. So the movie makers promised they'd be good and work on the problem. Yeah right. As long as we keep shelling out the dollars for sex and violence, they'll keep giving that to us. At least Showgirls bombed. The best movie of 1995: Was there anything out there that didn't claim to be that? If not the best, than at least the most heart-warming, most thrilling or the most action packed. Spare us the hyperbole guys. So, that was 1995 in the theater. What can we expect in '96? More ofthe same of course.

The concert will be Saturday, Dec. 9 at 2 p.m. in Parkside's Communication Arts Theatre. The performance was created by Patrick McGuire, a UW-Parkside professor. "The Parkside Chorale" and "The Voices of Parkside" will be featured under the direction of James Kinchen. Also featured SUFAC, cont from p, I the future. Music Department's request for an increase that would nearly double their budget was considered inappropriate at this time and it was voted to give them no increase at all. The largest increases were requested by BSU, Latinos Unidos and the AthleticlIntramurals Department. ·BSU and LU asked for money to pay their officers and to increase community and on-campus programming. These increases would have doubled the budgets for each ofthe organizations. While SUFAC felt the efforts of both groups were worthwhile, they also felt that this was not a good time to ask for such large increases. A compromise was made of giving a 25% increase to each group. The AthleticslIntramurals Dept. asked for an increase of $80,000. This increase would have meant a rise in tuition of $22 per full time student per semester. Linda Draft, chair of the department, explained the request as an increase of the costs of the department due to participating in the GLVC athletic conference and a need to purchase an additional van for team transportation. SUFAC members felt that the department should have to raise some ofthis money . on their own and not place the whole burden on the students. In a hotly debated vote of 6 for and 2 against, the committee authorized an increase of $20,000. The two members who voted against the measure felt that even this increase was too much. SUFAC will hear any appeals on its decisions on Dec 6th. Expected to appeal are the Athletics Department and the Union Rec Center. The final recommendations ofthe committee will be presented to PSGA for approval on Dec 8th. If they are approved there, they will go before the Chancellor for final approval. As the budget currently stands, there will be an increase in segregated fees of approximately 2% in the 96-97 school year. will be the Parkside Classical Guitar Ensemble, directed by George Lindquist.
