McIntoshwas sentenced to 18 yearsin prison, Gomaz to 9. Jason Ostman, who died on Jan. 3, 1994 due to LSDrelatedseizures, was a 20 year-oldJunior majoring in Physicsat the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. His deathoccurred after aNew Year'sEve party. Thetrial of McIntosh and Gomaztook place in August andSeptember of 1994. Prosecution witnesses testifiedthat LSD caused Ostman's seizures, and ultimatelyhis death. The defensecited that there was nomedicalliterature to supportthis theory. McIntosh sold the LSD to Gomaz, who used $50 from Ostman to buy the drug for him. The two defendants were convicted on Friday, Sept. 2, 1994. Gilbert Ostman, Jason's adoptive father, spoke prior to the sentencing on Nov. II. He asked Judge Michael Fisher to give the ifllwIIJlftRIl1illllll.' maximum sentence of 20 years. Gomaz's attorney, Public Defender Labish Bergovoy, recommended a five-year sentence for the 17 year-old. Gomaz, a juvenile, had been waived into adult court. McIntosh's counsel, Douglas Henderson, asked for a 10 year sentence for his client. McIntosh has a criminal record including robbery, contributing to the sexual delinquency of a child, theft, battery and disorderly conduct. Assistant District Attorney Bruce Becker asked that the maximum sentence be given to McIntosh, and a "substantial" sentence be given to Gomaz. Judge Fisher told the court that education and severe penalties are the only way to help save people like Jason Ostman. "Ifthere weren't people selling drugs, Jason Ostman would be alive," Fisher said.

Parkside student's letter causes investigation byTabitha Brown StaffWriter Inresponse to a full page ad which ran in a September'94 issue of The Ranger News, Lisa McGahan, a University of Wisconsin-Parks ide student visited Kenosha Plasma Donor Center as a prospectivedonor. She states that her experience oneSaturday in October was "humiliating, inappropriate, uncomfortable, and unprofessional." McGahan said that the staff behaved in an unprofessional and rude manner. In addition to the clericalstaff, McGahan had an unpleasant experiencewith the doctor. She states that "the doctordid not introduce himself, did not wear a nametag, and did not have any medical certification within sight." McGahan said that the doctor"used extremely unprofessional terms to describebody parts, body functions, and sexual activities."She also states that while he discussed the origin ofAIDS, he "touched his genital area to further demonstrate the point." Todd Rasor, Manager of Interstate Blood and Plasma, Inc. (associated with Kenosha Plasma Donor Center), stated that he wasn't aware of any ofthe incidents which took place that Saturday because he wasn't working that day. Rasor also stated that there seemed to be "a chain of events that happened in that one circumstance" which included an employee that they have let go. What pleased Rasor was that he did receive a response which was the only way that he would know what went on when he wasn't there. He feels that McGahan's response was "a step in the right direction for the center." Rasor says that if McGahan would have walked away and not said anything the problem would have continued. Rasor further states that "a lot of the experience she had centered around the doctor." The FDA "Offensive" mascots. in a PCAge byCheryl Montgomery StaffWriter ASoup & Substance lecture :as held on Nov. 9 titled, Redskinsand Warriors: Ilonoringor Offending Native Jmericans?" The speaker was acquelineBoynton, a COOperatingattorney with the AmericanCivil Liberties Union. In 1991 came her first case as a cooperating attorney ~th the ACLU, challenging a Ogoofa Native American - used by a non-native school. Boynton described some of these stereotypical logos: leaping savages, headdressed with hook noses and spears. The logo of a high school in Milton, WI, was challenged by a former high school student's mother on the basis that the behavior it evoked violated Wisconsin statute 118.13 by being detrimental to her child's access to education. The school board gave the complaint little consideration and voted to maintain the logo; the decision was upheld on appeal to the Department of Public Instruction. This is all too common a scene in high schools and colleges across the country where racist presentations of Native Americans are supported overwhelmingly by white communities as historically relevant, much too expensive to remove from requires that doctors use basic terminology so that the patient can relate to it. Rasor said that the doctor, who was foreign, "appeared to use language in a manner which is beyond what is considered acceptable." Because this matter had been discussed with the doctor on one other occasion the center thought it best to let him go. According to Rasor, McGahan "had a bad experience which was an unfortunate circumstance which [he says] wasn't a true representation ofthe center." Rasor contends that the matters described in the letter were discussed and corrected because they let the doctor go and put their certificate on the wall. Rasor states "we are open to anyone's concerns and are willing to make corrections." McGahan states that the "visit that should have been beneficial to [her] and others was, at the very least, disappointing." the schools, in keeping with their First Amendment right to free speech and even being honorable to the "noble savage." Ms. Boynton said that there are schools that are making a concerted effort to remedy any offense their logos may have had to the indigenous population in their schools and the surrounding areas by educating themselves on the diversity issue, removing and replacing the logo and informing other schools of their action and reasoning. Audience members asked Attorney Boyton if removal of logos offensive to Indians meant that the Vikings and Midgets would be protesting next. This makes it strikingly apparent that information, respect and cultural sensitivity are needed in academia, the media and in our society. Credit cards· beware Credit card issuers nationwide have found a new target in their quest for members: college students. Although having a credit card can be a worthwhile and rewarding possession, the Office of Commissioner of Banking cautions students that not all card offers are worth your time or money. "If students decide they want to open a line of credit, then they should take some time to study the offers," said Commissioner of Banking Richard L. Dean. "Two credit card companies can offer the same amount of credit, with no annual fee and identical interest rates, yet the offers can be vastly different. By taking a little time to study the offers, students can determine which one is best for them." Consider the following when choosing a credit card: Don't accept a credit card over the telephone. Instead, ask the caller to send you Parkside to offer finance workshop The University of Wisconsin-Parkside will offer a workshop titled "Financing Your Business" from 6 to 9 p.m. Nov. 22 at Parkside Participants will learn of financing sources, requirements of those sources and ways to reduce financial risk. Discussion leaders will be W. Thomas Carls, an assistant vice president with Bank One, and Patricia Duetsdh, director of Parkside's Small Business Development Center. The fee is $35. For more information, call 595-2189. information regarding the card. Determine how the interest rate is being assessed. Is it a fixed rate or a variable rate? Ifit is variable, how is the rate determined? Many variable rates are based on the prime interest rate. The issuers take a base number and add it to the prime rate to determine your interest rate. Thus, as the prime rate rises, as it is doing now, so does your rate. Find out where the companies soliciting your business are based. Ifthey are based in Wisconsin, they must comply with our laws. State law limits interest rates on credit cards issued by Wisconsin Financial Institutions to 18 percent. Some out-of-state card issuers agree to follow our laws, while others may follow the laws of the state in which they are based. Some states allow card issuers to offer higher rates. The phrase "no annual fee" does not always mean "never an annual fee." Some credit cards carry no annual fee for the first year only, while others eliminate the annual fee only after a certain amount of purchases have been made with their card. There are cards available which never require an annual fee. The Office of Commissioner of Banking regulates statechartered banks and over 5,000 consumer credit related firms in Wisconsin. If you have questions regarding credit cards or other credit issues, call 1-800-452-3328. Getting one step ahead by The Communication Senior Seminar Class This semester's Communication 495 Senior Seminar class is currently involved in a semester long project aimed at increasing awareness of internships and volunteer work. The class feels that information on available internships is not readily available to all students. As a result, many students are not aware of the potential value of these opportunities. These values include: resume-building, application of course work to practical experience, handson experience, exploring future career opportunities, and making contacts outside the university. To increase the availability of information on internships and volunteer positions, the class is preparing a booklet. This booklet will include reasons for doing internships/volunteer work, and student testimonials. The booklet is being prepared by students, for students. The booklet will be available Monday, Nov. 28 in time for early registration. You can find it in various locations around campus such as the advising center and in each department. We hope students will take advantage of this opportunity to get one step ahead!

L ~ ~ - Drugs by Barb Churchill Ranger col umnist Drugs. We know that they are out there; Sometimes) they come to the forefront of the news picture. Last week two news stories featured drugrelated problems. The stories were on the drug-related arrest ofBrent Moss, and the drugrelated killing ofTyrone Echevarria. Drugs played an important role in these stories. As reported in the Racine Journal Times, Echevarria was advancing on a police officer with a steak knife outside a building on Douglas Avenue (in Racine). Echevarria was attem pting to kick a crack cocaine habit, and like anything else, it was one step forward and five steps back. His family turned him in because they were concerned that he might be using drugs again. They didn't want him killed, just captured. He had five kids, and they were concerned about his erratic behavior over the past few days. If you are wondering, "Why does Barb seem to know so much about this man?", you are very perceptive. I knew this man pretty well. My mother and I met him at the dog track, and he became a good friend of my mother's. He told her about his past. However, he did have m90d Swings, which I attributed to getting offthe UNIVERSITY' .OF·, WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE ''THE GROW.1ft OF ETHNIC CULTURES: FROM INDIFFERENCE TO EMPoWERMENT" Four speakers will be lecturing on culture diversity on campus during the 1994-95 school year.

Is Liberalism as we have come to understand it dead? You get the idea: so many questions, so few answers. History was made on November 8 and what happens next should be quite interesting. Columnist George Will summed up the election this way "With breezy frankness voters have said approximately this: Something is amiss when a government that does not adequately deliver the mail delivers condoms to children" To which I interject the voters acted accordingly. Observations Isn'lll Greal To Be A Republican? c. J. Nelson Ranger columnist The above statement illUstratedthe sentiments of re-electedGovernor of WisconsinTommy Thompson (67%is a nice number isn't it Barb?)on election night. The answerto that question will bediscovered in the intervening two years. There are many other questionsthat Tuesday's electionresults bid to be asked.But before we ask someofthem I just can't resistthe urge to illustrate the magnitude of the Democratslosses. (Yes, Boyd, that means I am going to gloata bit. I haven't forgot mytreatment from two years ago). First I note that not one (I repeat one) Republican incumbent of the House Senator, or Governorshi~ lost. Only Democrat incumbents lost (which if you think about it is as it should be). The Republicans went from a 56- 44 deficit in the U. S. Senate to a 54-46 majority in the space of 18 hours. Most delicious is the results in the House of Representatives. When the carnage (from a Democrat's viewpoint) was over, the Republicans had gained 52 seats and 230-204 majority. Democrats must get used to the idea of Speaker Newt Gingrich (this one even I have a little problem with). In Wisconsin Tommy will have a Republican State Senate and Legislature.

Republicans have Maria's Melange liDo You Come Here Often?" byMaria Smith Ranger columnist There I was standing along the back wall with my girlfriend beside me. The air wasthick with recycled smoke,loud live music and cheapcologne. It was Friday night and we were dressed to thenines. We were at a club inthe Waukesha area where the crowd was mostly thirty to forty something with a smallpercentage in their twenties and above their forties.Not having been to a clubwith a girlfriend in over fiveyears I was really excited abouthaving a girls night out.I, being in my late, late twenties thought I would feel verycomfortable with this slightly older crowd. I was underthe impression that with age came maturity, dignity, and better pick-up lines.Boy, was I mistaken. Wewere only there for· abouttwenty minutes when myradar picked up -a few facesamong the crowd making covert attempts to movea little closer. I made a mental note of this and qUicklylooked away. You see, myintent that evening was to danceand have some laughs withmy girlfriend- not to be pickedup. So, we're standing there ~ughing at each other's Jokes,ID'l"atinga little to the musicand watching the crowdon the dance floor. She wastossing a few "Lite Ice" beersand feeling pretty good. Iwas nursing a diet coke becauseI knew I had a long drive back to Racine. Still, I was enjoying the seedy atmosphere. Nothing like a lung full of someone else's smoke and $2.00 diet cokes to start the night off right. Then it happened. The first hawk came a circlin'. He thought he was so inconspicuous butI spotted that shiny "Saturday Night Fever" shirt and those polyester pants from a mile away not to mention his Old Spice cologne that filled the air each ofthe fifteen times he passed us by. So he works his way over and says, "Hey girls, do you want to trip the lights fantastic?" "No," I replied. "Why not?" he asked. "Because we're talking here," I responded. "Oh, what cha talkin' bout?" he asked. "None of your business," my friend responded. Then, I turned away from him and resumed my conversation with my friend. For the next half hour he kept sticking his head into our conversation. He just wouldn't leave. (Here's a free tip guys, harassment isn't the way to pick up a girl.) So, I walked to the ladies' room to get away from him. On my way a guy bumps into me realiy hard and says, -os, Hi. How have you been doing?" "I don't think we know each other," I said. "Sure you do. We met at Donna's party. You gave me your number and told me to call you but I lost it, so can . ?"h you give it to me agam. e asked. control of 30 state houses in the nation (which account for 218 electoral votes), including eight of the ten most populous. Democrat leaders and respected icons such as Dan (just some stamps please) Rostenkowski, Ann (now who has a spoon in their mouth) Richards, and Tom (Idon't need Term Limits) Foley are all kaput. Jack (pork) Brooks was tossed out along with many other Democrats. Jim. Sasser can give up his dream of being Senate Majority Leader, he's gone too. And I must not forget to say bye to Mario. Now for the questions (and there are many): a. Can the Republicans actually govern? It's one thing for Newt to throw "I don't think so," I said. Then, I turned and walked away feeling pretty aggravated that someone would think I was so stupid that I couldn't remember giving him my number at a recent party. Finally, I make it to the bathroom wherein there was no toilet paper, running water) and some woman trying to squirt me with perfume for fifty cents. This night was going to hell in a handbasket and quick. As the night grew older, so did the age of some of the pick up lines I was hearing. They were: "Do you come here often?" "Is this bar stool taken?" "What cha drinkin' honey?" I've never seen you here before," "Youlook like someone I know." What a sorry bunch of pickup lines. These lines are as old as the earth. I thought these mature adults could come up with something a little more original that that. I began to wonder why the men who I found to be the least attractive happen to be the ones in the bar who were asking all the women to dance. The good-looking ones just huddled in a group and . never ventured outward. Another phenomenon, was that the closer the clock grew to 2:00 a.m., the more frequent the pick up lines were spouted. What a bizarre evening. I spent half my night deflecting the come-on lines of short (shorter than me), Woody Allen types. I was glad to go home. bombs, another to legislate. b.

Will the Republicans playa game of pay back and unleash an investigative The next day I began to wonder if any other women or men have either experienced bad pick-up lines such as those already mentioned or, even worse, have possibly been responsible for using them on someone else. So I began to ask around Parkside. I approached guys first, of course. They admitted that they had used some pretty lame pick up lines in bars before but, acting very embarrassed, would not divulge their secrets. So I tried again with another group of guys. Still, no one would talk. Then it hit me. These guys weren't drunk. Let's face it, that's when our inhibitions are lowered and our libidos are raised. Which is when the best/worst pickup lines make their debut. Next, I asked a couple of groups of girls. The most common lines they admitted to hearing were: "Can I buy you a drink?" "Are you from around here?" and the ever popular, "What's your sign?" One guy, a friend of mine, admitted to using one that I'd never heard before, "Are your legs tired?" "No," responds the girl. "Because you've been running through my mind all night," says he. I couldn't believe how corny that sounded. Still, it was original. I guess there's a lesson to be learned in all ofthis. If you're looking to meet someone in a bar, you had better think ofsomething to say that's not played out. And God forbid, don't wear a shiny disco shirt that's swimming in Old Spice. From a woman's perspective, I think the most effective thing to say is simply, "Hello". Smiling and good eye contact are subtle and alluring ways to catch a person's attention, as well. Have fun and be yourself. Try dispensing with the phony pick-up lines altogether and just act like a real person. Well, fellow tavern travellers I'll be seeing you in the trenches. Stop over and say, "Hello". EDITORIAL POLICY The Ranger News encourages and invites letters to the Editor.

Many people wanted to strike out at the Clinton presidency through their congressmen, representatives, or governors, and they did. The Republicans are now in a "put up or shut up" position. They must, I repeat MUST, stop the petty partisan bickering that had marred this last congressional session, and start working together with the remaining Democrats to form a workable coalition. Noone, not you, I, or Congress, can afford to do everything that they want to do. It is up to the individual to decide what needs outweigh what wants, and to work on how to pay for them. Itis the same principle for Congress. They must decide on what MUST be done, and do it. Otherwise, the Congress will continue to be the least respected group of people in America. I have a saying that should be put on every Congressman, Representative, and Governor's desk. Itis "the pork stops here." No more pork barrel politics, guys. Start making priorities, and stick to them. Ifthe Congress has a problem, perhaps they should talk to me. So far, I have managed to mostly pay my bills while workingtwo jobs and going to school full time. If! can do this on approximately $11,000 a year, I am sure that the Congress, ifthey work hard enough on compromise, cutting waste, and stopping new pork barrel projects can do the same thing. Itmay very well be 'a good day to be a Republican' to quote good old Tommy himself. The question is, will it stay a good month, year, and beyond for Republicans, or will the populist third party finally get offthe ground in 1996 as many people get disgusted with politics as usual???? One Liberal's Opinion by Barb Churchill Ranger columnist Good afternoon, all you loyal Ranger News readers (all two of you). So, what did you think oflast Tuesday's election results? If you are an independent liberal, like I am, you are probably pretty depressed by now. Not only did Tommy Thompson win by a landslide as I predicted, but Barca also went down. Almost all offices that were contested statewide went Republican. Not only that, with the exceptions ofthe places that were having gun referendums (Kenosha and Milwaukee spring to mind immediately), the turnout was only fair despite better than average weather. One of my friends didn't vote. When I asked him why not, he said that he 'didn't come from a voting family.' Well, I guess that the nonvoters ruled again. I for one find it hard to believe that anyone believes that the economy is getting better. Most ofthe people I know work more than one job to support themselves if they are on their own. Even ifthey are still living at home, most of them work. The Democrats and Independents out there traditionally support working people, and the Republicans support the rich and big money interests. The vote going heavily Republican says two things: 1) Most people are misinformed as to the state of the economy and their personal finances, and believe that their voting against "~~'~,l\1iU··· wMDf:JIII' iI~gs·a,iEll1"r6ffi~ri1swith"l;tt,;eili~a.tfg>n prescribed to keep him off of them. But, did this mean that he should be killed, because he had made a few mistakes? I think not. I am not blaming the police. During an adrenaline rush, anything can happen. They may have been intending to wound him only, and ended up killing him instead. However, none of this had to happen. Something is very wrong with society in general, if a man who is trying to get help dies because he can't admit that he has a problem or he will go in jail. This man didn't want to go back to jail, because he had five kids which he was attempting to support, and lets face it, he had had enough ofjail. The thorny problem is this: how much ofhis behavior was intensified by societal stresses, and how much of his behavior was caused by his own problems? In other words, who gets the blame, and how much? This is a very hard question. I am not sure how to answer it, but I will say that I think that considering the fact that Echevarria was trying to get off of the drugs, it is especially tragic that his death occurred then. The Brent Moss problem pales in comparison. First of all, the facts are not all in. Moss might have had the cocaine, but why? Hopefully, the intent to deliver charge was only because he didn't want to admit that it was for himself. He still has an excellent chance to play in the NFL, and become a star. He is an outstanding running back who has On the matter of too much space Some interest has arisen over what would seem to be extra space surrounding an ad that has run at various times over the course ofthe semester. As explained to one or two individuals that have recently questioned the ad and its placement, it is, in fact, a full page ad placed according to the wishes of the advertiser. What looks like extra space was paid for as well as the text. The advertiser feels that by having a large amount of space surrounding a relatively small ad, more attention will be drawn towards the ad as a whole. This approach seems to be somewhat successful. -NickZahn college football. He can still become an NFL star. It is disheartening that this would happen now, on the verge of the college bowls, and I for one find it disappointing to say the least. Hopefully, Moss will still have his career left. It is a shame that this happened, but at least he didn't die, like Echevarria did. I support drug legalization, for the simple reason that neither of these things wonld have happened were drugs legal or at least not considered a criminal offense (decriminalization). In Echevarria's case, he would have legally been able to get help for his drug problem, and so wouldn't have necessarily fallen through the cracks of the legal/judicial system. In Moss's case, being busted for cocaine possession/intent to deliver(?) would never have happened. It would be a non-issue. IfMoss were supplying drugs, (not that he is; this is a rhetorical question) he would be taxed legally, just as in any other legitimate business. I don't approve of drugs, but legalization is the only way. Otherwise, life will continue as it is in America. People will continue to be afraid to step outside of their own homes. People will continue to be busted that didn't need to be. People will continue to be killed that didn't need to be. All the tragedy will continue unabated, and everything will continue its downward spiral into black despair.

Sink your teeth into what we have to say, and quench your thirst for excitement. We now present you with Interview with a Vampire. First of all, we give caution to those who want to see Interview because Tom Cruise (Top Gun, ' The Firm) is in it. Although his acting ability is definitely relevant, and such a change of character, his part is quite small. Step aside, Tom, this is a Brad . Pitt movie. Pitt (A River Runs Through It )takes a big step in Interview, facing a lead role and critical pressure, yet he did it well, being very thorough with his part, and making a huge transformation. To complete the set there is movie stud number three, Christian Slater tTrue Romance, Untamed Heart). Slater makes his tiny part as the interviewer quite noticeable, considering he was cast as a substitute after we suffered the loss of River Phoenix, the original interviewer. Moving to the female side of the cast, we have young Kristen Dunst, playing the young vampire Claudia, who makes a huge impact in her first film. We congratulate you, Kristen, you went right for the throat on this one. The movie starts with Slater interviewing the vamped-out Pitt about his life. Pitt plays Lonis, a depressed man who had lost his wife and child, and who wants to die. Then comes Lestat, a vampire played by Cruise, who grants Louis his death wish, along with giving him the eternal life of a vampire. Louis finds he does not like the murderous life of a vampire and has to struggle with survival. Lestat then finds Louie a young vampire companion, Claudia, to put him at ease. Eventually Louis and Claudia ditch Lestat and look for more of their kind. Their ventures continue from there. Overall, the movie is very dark and morbid, with a lot of gore on the side. Just do not expect squirt guns filled with holy water or garlic necklaces, because this movie portrays the realistic side of a vampire. Interview may not be for all audiences, so taking that into consideration, we give it a yellow light. We hope you do not have weak stomachs, future viewers. Lights, Camera, Action... The Specialistv-v» by Dawn Apostoli Ifyou are interested in seeing massive, fiery explosions, a hot pursuit to help a distressed woman seek revenge, and well-thought-out schemes to kill a bunch of killers - then The Specialist may be exactly what you are looking for. But before you go and see this flick, be prepared for a storyline that isn't exceptionally interesting or detailed and acting that is simply only mediocre. The two well-known stars, Sylvester Stallone and Sharon Stone, share the big screen in this film. Stallone's character, Ray, is a CIA agent who is referred to as "the Specialist". Ray is hired by a young woman, May Monroe (Stone), to assist her in locating the men she saw brutally kill her mother and father when she was just a little girl. Stallone accepts this dangerous yet typical job, and May helps him out by becoming physically close to one of the murderers. She is filled with so much hatred that she will do whatever it takes in order to relieve this pent-up anger, and she believes that getting close to one of the murderers is the only way to destroy him. The killers all seem to be aware of the animosity that May has for them, so they are on the lookout and are out to get Ray (who is constantly hot on their trail). The rest of the story is made up of the confrontations and murders between everyone who is involved in this situation. The enormous eruptions of flammable objects and other methods of killing seem to be going on quite frequently. Stallone is the main leader of all this lively action (with his generous supply of bubbling muscles). Imagine one of his methods of death: his victim swiftly soars through a room of spectators and his head busts through a large glass tank of Sly Stallone + Boy George = Lips Supreme From the book StarMorphspublished by Contemporary Books water. Another one of the bad guys is abruptly ejected into the air and sent whirling away thanks to a rather large explosion which set his car ablaze. As a result of another one of Stallone's game plans, a few men plunge into the ocean along with a portion ofthe concrete building they were in. One of his killings (which involves another explosion, didn't, however, work out quite the way he envisioned becausehe accidentally killed an innocent bystander ... or did he? There is a casket, a funeral, a dead body - but is it who everyone thinks it is? I thought the acting by Stallone and Stone wasn't too terrific. It could have been somewhat better and more realistic; some of their expressions looked a little fake. If you want to pay to see a movie like this, then by all means see The Specialist. Maybe you are more interested in seeing a movie full of battles and numerous people, buildings and automobiles set in flames instead of a movie with quality acting and an in-depth story. If this is the case, then The Specialist is a good choice for you since this film certainly caters to the several explosions and fights more than most of the other aspects of the movie. assumt that J ntnt no introduction Lestat - • �~~~~~~~~~~~~I' R.T.'s Real CD Review ' Point by Sometime Sweet Susan I!

Besides a six shooter, Or a needleshooter I was inspired to write this after trying to go back to myoid high school and visit some of my teachers. The secretary in the front office said I needed an appointment to see them now, she said they were upping the security on my former suburban school. I think that had a great deal to do with the former high school principal who was murdered last year in Milwaukee. I also thought of the metal detectors and the security officers installed in our city schools. I guess I shouldn't be mad, but I suppose it's keeping the children safer. I just wish it wouldn't have to had come to this. It affects the innocent people that try to enter our schools as well. I won't give up hope, though, Soon the innocent won't get Past the IRONGATES We are building By Christopher L. Taschner for a safer country. It's our duty to strive for this, not only for us but for the children that want to pursue an education and feel safe while getting it. There are a lot of great teachers in our schools inspiring a young mind each day. It's important to keep our children, our future in mind. I will see you all next week and thanks for reading again, I appreciate it. So until next week, poetry dudes and dudettes out there, keep writing.

For those of you majoring in the subjectcritique me (mentally, of course). Hold on to your Cscale, I'm giving you a theory of my own. Chill, this is free. Theory One according to ''V'': When choosing an album to add to your collection, if you are able to sample it beforehand, all you really need to listed to is the first and last tracks. If these two are to your personal liking, it is a pretty good indicator that you will enjoy a satisfactory amount of the entire entity. Skeptical? It is a theory, not a law (although it should be). I tested this theory yet again with a group that I had never heard of before. I surprised myself yet again with my theoretical brilliance. The Group: LiR. The title: "magica, magi co" . Their style was an amalgam of Spin DoctorslExtreme, with interludes ofRed Hot Chili Peppers, creating a sound so strikingly pleasant that the first track alone sucked me "Tannery" is a pleasant combination of clean and dirty guitar with welcome complex rhythms by both drums and bass. "CecilleB. Dumbsh%t" is the fourth Song on the EP, which happens to be twenty minutes long. After the first seven minutes in the song, you will find yourself hitting the fast forward button because the last thirteen minutes are nothing but a feed back circus. Even though the mix on the album leaves something to be desired, Sometime Sweet Susan still comes across as a hard hitting trio. This would urge any listener to turn this album up way past ten, or even better, experience them live. into a psychological addiction. Unlike rap or metal, the bass takes over the heartbeat, bringing it into harmony with nature itself. Sections of piano potentially urge one to world peace. Guitars both wail and exhibit a special artistry that shocked even me. I must admit that the lyrics are a little strange, yet they portray a simplified reality. My point? I liked them. I must give credit where credit is due. They could use some recognition from an individual such as myself.

This Saturday, Parkside's CroseCountry Teams will lace up their spikes for the last meet of the season and forthe last time at the NAIA National Championships. The women's team is currently ranked #5 in the country in the latest NAIA poll. "I've really liked the way our season has gone," Head CoachMike De Witt said. "We're a lot better than last year because Amy (Haines) and Tracy (Pope) have done sowell. They've beaten 96% of the runners they've faced, which sets up a great team score." In cross country, five runners count in the team score,but seven will run at nationals on Parkside's Cross Country Course. "We'vebeen solid all year, but we've been saving our bestfor nationals," Liz Fashun said. "It's our last NAJA,so we'd like to go out with a bang." The Lady Rangers should bang up the competition pretty well mainly because they've escaped many injuries. And the team has compensated well for the few injuries they did sustain. "Melinda (Vasatko) stepped in when Lisa Lewis got hurt," added De Witt. It doesn't hurt to have a strong All-American contingent either. "Amy and Tracy have a good shot at the top 15 (the top 30 individuals earn All-American honors). I wouldn't discount Valerie Niese's All-American chances either. Hopefully, everyone willbe under 75th place." "Everyone is confident," Niese said. "We want to get 2ndand that's achievable if everyonehas a great race. We wantto do it for Coach (De Witt),because it's our last NAJA." The ladies will have the inspiration as well. 1992 OlYmpianand Parkside graduate Michelle Rohl will bein town for her induction intothe NAIA Hall of Fame.

Brent Moss: Another Fallen Star? by Scott Fragale Sports Editor Ithappened once again. Another top athlete has fallen by the wayside. Last week's arrest of University of Wisconsin star Brent Moss for possession of crack cocaine with the intent to deliver, has added another name to the growing list of athletes who for one reason or another has turned to drugs. Darryl Strawberry, Dwight Gooden, Roy Tarpley, Dexter Manley, Steve Howe, and Lawrence Taylor. The list seemingly could go on forever. Now we can add Brent Moss to the list of people who may never reach their full potential because of drug use. The warning signs have been there for years. Soon after leading the Badgers to a Big-Ten championship and a victory in the Rose Bowl (Moss was named game MVP), Brent Moss could look forward to his senior season. He could set his sights on another great season for the team, make a reasonable run at the Heisman Trophy, and plan on making a huge salary after being drafted by an N.F.L. team. Well, the Badgers have experienced some tough times due mainly to some key injuries (Moss included). The Heisman was a long-shot at best, and that huge salary has just had some zeros dropped from it. Last November, Moss talked with kids at a community center in Madison speaking about topics such as self-respect, avoiding drugs, and the value of hard work. Looking back, his comments appear to be somewhat hypocritical. After making several appearances of that nature over the last year, the media began to paint a picture of Brent Moss that now seems tainted. These include comments such as "Moss is not only a great athlete, but he's a model citizen as well." "He's giving back to the community." "He's a great role model." Statements of this nature began to circulate amongst the media and created an image of Brent Moss that perhaps overlooked some of his downfalls. Last April, I had the pleasure to do an interview with Moss, and looked forward to the chance to speak with him. He was one of my favorite local athletes, and from everything I had seen and heard of him, I believed he was not only a great athlete but a decent guy as well. Perhaps he was. Perhaps he still is. But some ofthe dealings I had in contacting him for the interview made question the image that the media had created. In my effort to contact Brent, I spoke with one of his cousins in Racine (Moss' hometown), to set up a time when we could conduct the interview. During our conversation, his cousin made a reference about drug use and he implied that Brent would be a part of it. When I actually did the interview with Moss, it was difficult due to the loud music on the other end of the phone. He constantly had to excuse himself from the conversation to try and settle people down who were attending the party. Itwas during this time when other drug related references were uttered in the background of our conversation. Moss told me about the now public 500,000 dollar insurance policy that the University of Wisconsin has on him in case of a career threatening injury. He also mentioned that several N.F.L. teams had offered him millions of dollars to leave school a year early. What Moss didn't mention to me was why he was in Racine for ten days during scheduled class time. When I asked him if the players were able to get jobs for spending money, he said "They take care of us." Itwas at this time that the image I had of him began to tarnish. There are many unanswered questions that remain in Brent Moss' life. His future at UWM appears to be over, although those circumstances could change before the season finale. Other questions still remain. One of which is how no one seems to remember that this isn't the first time that Brent Moss and drug use have been mentioned in the same breath. His history includes possession of marijuana both in high school and in college. After speaking personally with Moss last year and looking at his present situation, wasn't it really just a matter oftime before this story broke. Hopefully for Brent the person, something good will come from this ugly situation, and he'll get his non-football life in order before considering his options of being Brent Moss the athlete.

"When I was away from the team, I missed playing for the kids. And after the game, when 20 kids come up to you after the game and ask you for your autograph, that's the best feeling in the world. It's what keeps me going," Nolan said. The Raiders have been drawing a nice crowd to keep Nolan going. They've drawn between 1,500 to 2,000 fans a game, but the big games draw up to 5,000 according to Nolan. Nolan attributes his improving performance to the Raiders. "I learned the cornerback position from them," he said. The Raiders played Lake County in the semi-finals of the Midwest League this past weekend. They would play in finals November 19th. Itjust doesn't seem right that Buzz, Nolan, and the Raiders were turned away from the national tournament. '(But we put out a notice to all the teams saying that we'll play anyone," Bezotte said. Ifthere's any justice, the team that does win the tournament will take their skirts off and come play the Raiders. not to look at me. There was a lot of build up from the people around me," Bezotte said. However, Bezotte is hoping to try out with the World League in December. "I don't know if I'm good enough to play, but I'll never know unless I try," Bezotte said. Right now, he's just enjoys playing with the Raiders. The Raiders play in the Midwest League composed of teams from Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin. The team practices on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the games are played by NFL rules. "It's a lot of fun. Most of the guys played in college and even some in the pros. It's made up of players who don't want to give up the sport, " Bezotte said . "We're just lucky to have a lot of talent and I think I've improved since the season started." A friend told Rick Nolan about the Raiders, which was a perfect team for Nolan, who wanted to get involved with a local football team. "Try-outs were very difficult," Nolan said, "Most of the players have great athletic ability and college experience." Nolan used his quickness at cornerback position, where he started until he had to temporarily leave the team for personal reasons. He has by AI Heppner Assistant Sports Editor Can a team be too good? Well, the 12-0 Racine Raiders allegedly have been shunned from the national tournament for just that reason. The Raiders have been so dominant in the Midwest League that they must have scared the selection committee. One huge reason for their success is 6'5", 280 pound tackle Jim "Buzz" Bezotte. Buzz, if you recall, was the NAJA and NCAA Heavyweight National Champion last year in wrestling. The first wrestler in seven years to accomplish that feat. Rick Nolan, the 1994 KochlHeisman Trophy recipient for Parkside's intramural flag football league, has also taken his skills to the Raiders at the cornerback position. After Bezotte ended his wrestling career with that rare double victory, one reporter wrote that maybe the NFL could use him. This started NFL rumors that Bezotte said were blown way out of proportion. "I had some contact with the 4gers and they offered me a chance to play on their practice squad, but they chose Rangers Fall in Finale kills and 12 digs on the evening. Tammi Rickert, Melissa Wolter, and Kelly Krupo each had seven kills for the match. Rickert led the team with digs coming up with 16 for the match. Michelle Danielson had 31 assists on the evening.

Mandatory recycling ·i~i~aJ~ssrll,eh~i:',R9n~p:·41,' Student-teacher evaluations Yourright to know? by Anna Bosco Staff Writer This semester faculty have been struggling to develop a better system for students to fairly evaluate teachers. Evaluations are looked at when a teacher is up for a raise, promotion, or tenure. The Attorney General has ruled that it is legal for students to have access to teacher evaluations. Lisa Kornetsky has been dealing with this issue since the beginning. The committee she helped put together is called The Student Course Information Pilot Project. This pilot project will be tested in four departments at the end ofthe semester. When asked what these four departments will do, Kornetsky said, "Each department will hand out EffectiveJanuary 1, 1995, the State of Wisconsin will ban the burial of recyclable materials in landfills. The Wisconsin Recycling Law requires all individuals and institutions in the state of Wisconsin to recycle. It provides a prioritized list of waste management options. Recycling is the third option, behind reducing and reusing. UW-Parkside is attempting to comply with the state law as follows. Presently there are 24 recycling stations in the public areas around campus. Each station consists of three bins: one for paper, one for commingled material (glass, plastic, and metal), and one for waste. Each recycling bin is labeled to show its purpose. Phase 2 will include the installation of additional units, including refurbished trash receptacles. In addition, university offices provide containers to collect their recyclables.said to Mary Ruetz, Program Assistant to Business Services.

"My discussion today will look at how national news magazines characterize race relations between blacks, Asian-Americans and Hispanics," Thornton said. When researching using articles published between 1980 and 1992, Thornton and his colleagues found 51 articles from 18 magazines dealing with race relations and the media. Only three of those dealt with race relations specifically. The remainder, he states, had, "ideas and discussions that are embedded in larger discussions." Thornton stated that there is, "an underlying set of agendas that the media was playing with in terms of how they present race relations generally." In support of this, he states, "what the press ignored in LA was that Racejcontinued on·p. 2.

The December 1st lecture was , sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs with funding from the Wisconsin Humanities Council. In his presentation, Thornton theorizes that "we primarily get our understanding about race and race relations from the mass medias." However, when searching for evidence he states that he discovered, "there are no studies looking at how mass media influences the nature of our understanding of race relations. In other words, how groups of people get along together." There will be a Tree of Hope displayed in the alcove next to the Women's Center Dec. 5 through finals.

He added that it ought to be done without the faculty senate endorsement. Snyder will try to get his concerns dealt with in a meeting in early spring where he will make a motion to reconsider the view of consensual relations. Chancellor Eleanor Smith declined further comment stating that "the faculty senate meeting, is the faculty senate meeting" and the administration is a separate entity. found the ambiguity troubling. In the absence of the chair, Stephen Stephens, the chair of the Physical Education department said that he wasn't able to give an answer about the specific language but believed it to be derivative of language worked out on other campuses. Because of the confusion which lies in the language, Snyder said that "we shouldn't endorse a policy that we don't understand." He had no problem of having the policy put into effect if Sexual Harassment Committee which asked, "Pursuant to providing 'clear direction ... about professional risks associated with [such] relations', will you clarify 2c in the Statement on Consensual Relationships?" The statement that he is concerned with reads, "the individual in power in the relationship will bear the burden of responsibility." His problem with this phrase was that what "burden of responsibility" meant. He administration. This case stresses the importance of seeking the advice offaculty in decisions made by the administration of a university. Essentially, Snyder sees it as problematic that the faculty wasn't consulted when the decision to accept the policy was made. He states "the administration doesn't run the university in all aspects, [the] faculty has a lot to do with it." In addition, Snyder directed a question to the chair of the 1 separate issues and should be treated as such. If there needs to be any connection between the two issues, Snyder says that there should be a "minimal connection between them." Another problem that Snyder sees associated with the sexual harassment policy is that it was never endorsed by the faculty senate, yet it is on the books and presumably enacted. This raised the issue of Spoto, a suit filed by the faculty senate of UW- Platteville against the Evals, continued from p. 1 often judge their teachers on whether they liked them or not. They could judge their style of teaching. When asked how she treats her surveys, Davis replied that if a student does make a valid and helpful suggestion she would consider a change. She is also encouraged by good comments. Davis feels a little uncomfortable with the idea of these surveys being published. She believes the publishing the information would be acceptable if it was printed in a discreet, non-threatening way. She was concerned, though, with how much information would be revealed. have two sources of feedback that will let them know where they stand with students. Jessica Davis, a German instructor at UW- Parkside, has been teaching for six years. Davis is in favor of students evaluating their teachers because "Students do have a right to express their opinion and have a chance to give the teachers feedback on their performance throughout the semester." She feels that students should try to be fair when making these evaluations. The only problem with evaluations, according to Davis, is that students and these questions will ask, among other things, about teaching style and questions ifthe objectives ofthe teacher were clear." Eventually the results and a syllabus ofthe class will be made available in the library. These results will probably not be available until next year. "Students are qualified to evaluate certain aspects, but they are not best qualified to evaluate other things such as the content of the material," said Kornetsky. With the questions prepared by the Student Course Information Pilot Project, teachers will soon Race, continued from p. 1 contexts. Why isn't it important to these magazines that over the last twenty, thirty years that where all these racial minorities are living jobs have left? You leave behind unemployed, very frustrated people." Thornton's lecture was the second lecture of a series this semester founded by the Wisconsin Humanities council. There will be two more lectures in the spring semester discussing race related issues. that the use of Hispanic and Asian- American followed similar patters with, "apparently no important distinction between these groups." Thornton feels that there are a number of important things that the magazines did not discuss regarding face relations. He states, "there's no discussion about economics, there's no discussion [or] very little discussion about racism, there's very little discussion about any of the wider thing while most of the press discussed black and Asian-American relations. Thornton continued by looking at what groups the media described as being involved in racial conflicts. He found mention of blacks, Hispanics and Asian-Americans. He states that, " what the media did, they homogenized each one of those groups." Thornton found the term black interchanged for Haitian, West Indian, African and Latin. He said Hispanics played a very important role in terms of what happened. One example ofthis is that most of the people arrested in LA were Hispanic. Why didn't the press make a big deal of that? They ignored it completely. They were aware of it," Also in support of the underlying agenda, Thornton states that, "not all [news magazines] depicted race relations in the same sort of way." Thornton observed that TIME depicted the LA riots as a black-white UW-Parkside Police Incident Report (12:12 prn) - UPPS officer contacted by Kenosha Sheriff Dept. regarding the possibility of a Parkside student missing.

Deane suggested that some modifications may need to be made to the Computing Support Center to prevent future thefts. He also theorized that the person might have just taken the computer and walked away with it. "If you saw a student walking through the campus holding a computer you wouldn't think he's stealing it. maybe it needs repair," stated Deane. "If you had enough nerve you could walk right on past, people won't pay any attention to you."

'" involved in the Parkside Student Bruce Rocco Government Association (PSGA) (anarti<t'srmdering) as an dedicated and active member, will be taking a temporary leave of absence. During Rocco's two year involvement with this organization he has made great efforts in improving PSGA along with the entire student body. Until the recent PSGA meeting, held Friday, Jan. 20, he was SUFAC liaison to both the Parkside Child Care Center an the Ranger News. In the time since he was elected as senator in the spring of 1992, Bruce has worked hard at constantly getting resolutions and policies passed. One of the programs he worked hardest on was the safewalk program which began in the spring of 1993 after a rape occurred on Wood Road. With Bruce Rocco's resolution and footwork, along with great efforts from Marlene Schlecht, UW- Parks ide police officer, the program made it off the ground. Bruce recalls that it was the first time PSGA had ever established a working relationship between the Assistant Chancellor of Student Affairs and the UW-Parkside Police Department. "It was the first piece of legislature," Rocco recalled, "that I have ever seen passed with acclimation and signed by the President [of PSGAj that day." Bruce feels that his greatest accomplishment with PSGA has yet to happen, but he said, "The next greatest accomplishment is that [ have developed a fine working relationship with the finest bunch of professionals that I have ever met in my life." Other activities Bruce Rocco and the entire student government have been strongly involved with include budget cuts, United Council, and trying to get more people involved In public elections in both Racine and Kenosha counties and on the national scene. Rocco also held the position of Vice President of PSGA from December, 1993 through April I, 1994. Science Grants Awarded by Brian Matsen News Writer Due to the persistent efforts of Joseph Balsano, the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide has been awarded two federal grants worth nearly $90,000. Balsano, a professor of biological sciences, is a man whose goal is to see more science taught in classrooms. Science Fellows I, one of Balsano's programs. was awarded $40,807 and has been an on-going project for the past ten years. Every year for the past decade, Bals ano has 'received funding from outside sources such as school districts and various programs. "I've been very fortunate," he commented. Originally, the federal government funded his efforts under the National Science FOundation, then also from the U.S. Department of Education. This department houses the Wisconsin Dwight D. Eisenhower Mathematics and Science Act. Joseph Balsano These grants are not handed or awarded to institutions, but must be applied for by a written proposal. The federal government gives money to the UW-system, but members of a board don't "allocate it to anyone," he stated. Balsano stated grants are competitive and one must propose ideas and goals that address a need or needs to students. That's why Balsano consulted school districts and 'administrations, gathenng ideas before writing his proposal. "You wouldn't want to give away money for anything," he commented. Balsano feels he IS and has been addressing a need - Science Fellows I, and now Science Fellows II and Ill. Balsano said, "What we're doing is quite popular," referring to Science Fellows 1: A program to Improve Science Education in the Elementary School. Other organizations which once criticized Balsano's work are now beginning to model his program The first objective of this two-fold 'strategy is to reduce the teacher's anxiety to teach basic scientific facts, information. and concepts. The following goal is to provide these teachers with materials that will encourage hands-on-science. This will apply practical knowledge to the hands-on- experience that should make learning fun. Children want to do things. they have a short- attention span. "Lectures are no-no," he said. "The whole idea [of this program] is to ge more science taught." and h sees this as the way t accomplish it. by Brian Matsen News Writer Starting immediately, you'd be wrong if you referred to the building that houses the library, Main Place, and a number of administrative offices as The Wyllie Library Learning Center. Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith explained that a name change from the Wyllie Library Learning Center (WLLC) to Wyllie Hall is part of an overall project. Smith said the signs on campus are "a little piece of the project." Assistant Chancellor William W. Streeter, who works with administration and fiscal affairs, is responsible for exploring the ideas of where to post new signs on 1- 94, highways, and local roads around the community. He's working with an outside consultant to map out the best locations for these new signs. The Chancellor wants the university to be user-friendly, and she sees the simplification of Wyllie Library Learning Center to Wyllie Hall-as a good beginning for the college and the community. The name change is to help establish consistency with the other three halls (Molinaro, Greenquist, and Tallent), and to help prevent further confusion about what services are located in that facility. In the former Wyllie Library Learning Center, keying in on the word "library", one could mistake the building as just where the library is, and if he or she is looking for a certain room, he or she might assume that it would be in the library. "It assumes that everything is in the library." said the Chancellor. She wants students, faculty. and guests to be able to find the appropriate rooms and services without hassles. Again, she wants Wyllie Hall to be user-friendly. Harriet Wyllie, widow to founding Chancellor Irvin G. Wyllie, did not mind the name- change and said, ''I'm just glad they're keeping the [Wyllie] name." Originally, the university was going to name the building "Wy llie Center," which Mrs. Wyllie wishes they would have kept. The building was named Wyllie Library Learning Center in 1972 after Chancellor Wyllie who died in October of 1974. Racism lecture Jan.31 "Campus Racism Today: Blueprint for Uprooting Discrimination in America's College" will be discussed by political activist and historian Manning Marable during a free lecture at the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide on Tuesday, Jan. 31. The lecture will be held at 7 p.m. in Room 104 of the UW- Parkside Union, located at the far north end of the main campus complex. The lecture is sponsored by the university's Black History Month Committee and the Parkside Activities Board. Marable is professor of history and political science and director Columbia University's Institute for Research in African American Studies. He is the author of several books including "Beyond Black and White: Historical and Political Essays," "African-American Studies: Critical Perspectives of the Black Experience" and "Race, Reform and Rebellion: The second Reconstruction in Black America." Marable also is author of the syndicated newspaper column "Along the Color Line," published in more than 250 newspapers and broadcast by approximately 60 radio stations. A sharp critic of all forms of discrimination and injustice, Marable is a strong advocate of civil rites, affirmative action and democratic empowerment for the poor and minorities. ._page 3 ...page 5 •••page 7 Snow Clearing Policy Usteci When snow begins to fall on the parking lots and sidewalks of campus, a team from the grounds crew, police, and housing will work to keep thoroughfares clear. The following are answers 10 frequently asked questions about snow removal: -Grounds crew and police officers make recommendations to the director of University Police and the grounds supervisor on when to assemble a snow-removal crew. Typically, 3 inches of snowfall prompts snow removal efforts. But, other conditions - a thin film of ice or blowing snow - may warrant snow-removal operations. -For an average snowfall of 3-6 inches, crews are called in between 3 and 5 am. For early evening snows, plow operators may be called in to keep fire lanes open until a full removal gets underway as the snowfall winds down. -A jeep is assigned to clear and salt all campus sidewalks and large entrance ways.

What is Campus Secure? Campus Secure provides each student, faculty, and staff member who subscribes to the system with a tiny personal radio transmitter which is carried on a keychain or necklace. When a -button on the transmitter is held down for 3/4 of a second. a personally coded signal for help is sent to the Campus Police Department. The signal pinpoints the location of the sender which alerts police and causes a campus map with a locator dot to be displayed on one of the two screens. On the other screen, a picture of the sender with a personal profile and emergency medical information is shown. Police can dispatch help within seconds, directly to the sender's location. Outdoor alarm boxes flash an emergency light to frighten away would-be attackers and guide the way for police. Indoors, silent receivers forward the personal alarm signal. Campus Secure could be available via a semester subscription basis. Campus secur:.e is a completely new approach to improving personal security anywhere on campus. In your hands, you can summon help in seconds, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Please return surveys by mail or in person to Campus police, located in Tallent Hall, or to the Ranger News office, next to the Coffee Shoppe in Wyllie Hall. Extended Shuttle Bus Hours The University Police and public safety is conducting a survey to determine if there is a need and interest to extend the hours of service of the Shuttle Bus. It was suggested by the Sexual Assault Prevention Task Force that the Shuttle Bus extend operation to 10:30 pm. This service would be one of three Escort Services available. on the Parkside Campus during the evening hours. The University Police provides escorts as well as the Campus Safewalk Program. A questionnaire has been provided to canvas the University population- students, faculty, and staff. The questions range for usage of the shuttle bus, usage of parking lots, and selected methods of paying for this extended shuttle bus service. • Input from the University population is greatly needed so UPPS may provide the services that are not only needed, but desired by those who UPPS serves. The University Police and Public Safety'S goal is to provide a safe and worry free campus, allowing University patrons to enjoy the campus and to participate in scholastic and community activities without concern for personal safety.

He expects to be active in the field of management accounting doing writing and research. Arthur Con Mateo Mackbee, Peer Health Educator and captain of the team sponsoring the event, states that there will be new activities this year and old activities that won't be continued. "This year we're going to try to put together at least two panels that have college specific facts about STD's and alcohol related incidents." A dance won't be held this year because of time restraints. Condom roses won't be sold either. Last year the Peer Health Educators made the roses themselves which took a Jot of time. The condom roses were later patented. When Mackbee was asked how well he thought the program worked towards educating students he replied, "I think it works as a whole ...just for them to see all the brochures and the Well ness on Wheels gets their minds thinking if it's just for one day." Mackbee believes that having the program on Valentine's Day increases student's awareness, "It usually is a good turnout because people have love on their minds." Mackbee also states that, ''It helps to have candy and people will always come to get condoms." ''There are a variety of people who come to the table and ask questions and take brochures," Mackbee stated. The- program is "aimed at all the students but mostly the traditional age students." UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.PARKSIDE ebruary 2, 1995 Students say yes to UC by Karen Diehl News Editor In a referendum held Monday. Jan. 30, the UW-Parkside student hotly decided that Park side should remain a member o l the. Uni tc d Council of UW Student Governments. The vote was 55%, or 101 students for staying in UC, and 45%, or 82 students against. Representatives from the United Council were at Parkside during the vote. These representati yes spoke to the students and addressed issues brought up by Parkside's Student Government Associati on. Brochures explaining what UC does and why Park s ide should be a member were passed out to students in the L-I level of Greenquist. United Council President, David Stacy was one of (he delegates present.

I encourage you to challenge ideas which you think are wrong anti change lilt: organization, ruther than isolate yourselves in Kenosha:' Several members of the Parkside Student Government Association did not express the same opinion.

Her words began this year's tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. entitled "Remember His Dream," held noon Wednesday, Jan 25, in Main Place. The event consisted of music, poetry, speeches, and applause. In Jackson's introduction of this commemorative, she cautioned the audience not to just follow King's advisive dream that day, but to continue further, his dream in the generations to come. "His dream is possible," she said. The program lasted forty-fi ve minutes. The Voices of Parkside and the Parkside Chorale, under the direction of Dr. James Kinchen, sang two selections which celebrate African-American themes. The first piece was entitled "Ujima," and the latter was called "Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning." Dr. Kinchen, in reference to the second song, said, "In other words, be ready ..' He said that this song is a spiritual song. "Christian journey soon be over; the time is drawing nigh," is a line from the song that illustrated the urgency of racial harmony. "I enjoyed it. I really enjoyed it," said Faith Augustine, after stating that she was asked to sjng Glenn E. Burleigh's piece. "I love the song because it expresses exactly what we need to know - not necessarily as one group of people, but as the world." She said in reference to the song, "It's not just color, it's the whole world. You know, Brian, we've talked. It's collective work." n c,' Yolanda Jackson, co-cbairperson of tbe Black History Month Committee, speaks to the crowd gathered for a program Wednesday, Jan 25, in Main place in tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Racine, described equality between students and teachers - addressing discrimination at a smaller level. "Students should be innocent until proven guilty," she said as she read from her "Living the Dream Essay," This finalist ended her speech. saying "I have a dream, that children will be treated as adults someday," Mackbee spoke of Martin Luther King Jr's life attributes - eight major campaigns for equal rights, marching over I OO-mi lcs, and achieving the Nobel Peace Pri/.e - and himself. "In my eyes," Ma~khcc said, "he [Dr. King] is tht: most important civil rights leader." This year's Martin Luther King Jr. Commemoralive ended with applause and a schedule from Rachelle Hart, chairperson of the Black History Month Commitlee, of upcoming events in February for Black History Month. She noted that if everyone sees what everyone has in common with everyone instead of differences, people would get along. A verse and the driving theme of "Ujima" is that "it takes a village to make a man." Mark Lewis, a student of Parkside, recited two poems - "Shadows in the Darkness" and "My People:' Each poem stressed a powerful theme that should be observed closer. In "My People," Lewis warned the audience of low self- esteem, indicating that it causes violence, and then said that if people have high self-esteem, they will also have high estecm for one another - eventually coming together. A quote from the poem reads, "If some of us don't get our act togeLher, we will lose our existence ... My people, get it together, and we must get it right." In his first poem, Lewis talked of existence, but in ignorance: 'There's no difference in the total darkness," began the first line.

I I Valentine's Day Program • 1:.~ ""'Of'" N" ~ EWS February 2, 1995,:t 0' , , Recycling The Parkside Union and Dining Services are asking for the cooperation of everyone on campus regarding the new statewide recycling laws that went into effect as of Jan. I, 1995. "All previous attempts at recycling were just warm-ups .or this· the real thing," according to Bill Niebhur, Director of the Parkside Union. Niebbur explained that the campus waste stream and compliance to the new law will be monitored by our trash and recyclable contractor, Go of Wisconsin/Land Reclamation Company ,LRC) of Racine. According to Neibhur there are two alernents to the food service area \·ec'y~ling problem. The first is to simply get people to do it according to the signs .hat h~ve been provided. That is, to take the r\rhc to separate items and put them in their appropriate containers.

At UW- Park side, the process has heen made much easier. with separation by item type being done :.II the recycling contractor's site. Commingling of products is by far the least complicated way of recycling. Bill Neihbur As the law also went into effect for home owners, renters, businesses, etc, on Jan. I, there was a heightened general awareness of recycling which made it easier 10 happen on campus. The biggest difference in cum pus recycling and what a person is doing at home lies in the type of products thai can go into the commingled mix Most communities will only accept plastics labeled 1 and 2 (numbers appearing on the bottom of containers within a small triangle.) At UW-Parksidc, all plastics numbered I through 7 are acceptable, as are plastic bags. A second difference is that polystyrene or Styrofoam is recyclable on campus. This category of products was given a one year extension from the current law due to a lack of sources to sell it to. However, as more secondary recycling uses for Styrofoam become a reality, it will soon be added to Volunteer Opportunities Domestic Violence Programs in Kenosha Offer Training.

Safficti-Hughes suffered broken ribs and a broken collar bone and is still in intensive care at Doyne Hospital in Milwaukee. The accident occurred at the intersection of Ryan Road and 27th Street in Franklin. Saffioti-Hughes was taking her daughter, Autumn, to child care before reporting to work. The accident occurred at 7:40 am when her car, westbound on Ryan Road, collided with a minivan travelling south on 27th street. Saffioti-Hughes has been through surgery to repair her broken bones. Her recovery time is expected to be short, perhaps 2-3 weeks. She remains in ICU, and will probably be there until early next week. Until that time, people are urged to refrain from calling the hospital. The UW-Parkside community has begun responding to Carol Lee's tragedy. A memorial fund is to be set up at Children's Hospital in Autumn's name, as is another fund through Educator's Credit Union. Students in Dr. Safficti- Hughes' Advanced Expository Writing class are sending cards and poems reflecting their support and sympathy. Tanya Melendez, a student in the class, said, "l thought it was important for us to get together and show her our thoughts are with her." Other students on campus have expressed similar feelings. The Parks ide Student Government Association sent a card to Dr. Saffioti-Hughes. Jennifer Buchholz, President of PSGA, said, "As we all know, this was a tragic incident. I think I speak for all students in wishing her a quick recovery. I also send my deepest sympathies in her loss. I hope she knows how much this event has impacted the students. Our thoughts and prayers are with her." Ted Hughes, Carol Lee's Husband, has expressed that cards and notes will be great morale boosters.

Marable says, 'Multiculturalism pays! by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer Before a group of students, staff, and other community members, Dr. Manning Marable, Director of Columbia University's Institute for Research in African American Studies, spoke on the topic of campus racism Tuesday January 31 in Parkside's Union 104. In his lecture, entitled "Blueprint for Uprooting Discrimination in America's Colleges, Marable asserted that an appreciation of history is important because "it gives us a sense of who we are ...this special consciousness lets us know who we really are." Marable noted that most students aren't given a good cultural balance in their education. "You are culturally deficient if you don't read African American literature," Marable stated, "or studyAfrican American sociologists." One form of prejudice that Marable noted as prevalent on many campuses is that which deals with assumptions about scholarships. "Only two percent of all scholarships are designated for African Americans in the United States," he stated. Marable said that- many non-minority students believe that a great number of scholarships are designated for African American students. "Many argue that scholarships for minority students is a form of reverse discrimination," Marable stated. Marable used the example of legacy scholarships which are earmarked for the sons of Harvard University graduates. An astonishing forty-four percent of those admitted to Harvard are financed with the aid of legacy dollars. "Only when scholarships are awarded to African Americans or Latinos do we see a problem." A sweeping trend that Marable notices on college campuses across the U.S. is a growing pattern of discrimination. "What we see is a growth of institutional discrimination." The immense decrease in the number of young students of color in our inner city who aren't receiving an adequate I education is one of the items that Marable cites as unfortunate. He stated that this is attributable to "the new segregation between the educated haves, and the semi-educated have nots.' "Racism is an invisible tax against the labor power, creativity, and intellect of people of color," Marable stated when detailing the different forms of poverty. Regarding financial poverty he stated that most of the individuals who live in poverty are not people of color. Marable said that the problems of the 1990's are far more sophisticated. "We need to understand that the challenges ahead require a different vision," he said. As a political activist and social critic, Marable stated, "we must have the courage to search for common ground to advance toward ideals of a democracy without discrimination." Manning Marable He stated that we have to build a new kind of leadership. Marable, who writes a nationally published column entitled "Along the Color Line," said in his speech that "the historic color line will be reversed for African Americans." This notion of reversal relates to his ideas about the post-modern discourse presently in effect which is essentiaJIy racism without responsibility. "To relate to people you need to know something about their history and their culture," he stated. Without these components he says that two individuals cannot have an honest conversation. One final thought that Dr. Marable expressed was, "muliculturalism pays." UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN.PARKSIDE February 9, 1995 Multicultural education a priority by Pamela Bradshaw Staff Writer , .... ~.::.., The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs in conjunction with the Ethnic Studies Center received a $2000 grant from the UW System to fund a Faculty Development in Multicultural Education Program. The grant was awarded to accomplish the goals in the Design for Diversity Program. The money will be split between five courses submitted by instructors. Two courses all ready accepted are a class in Cross- Cultural Psychology and a business course entitled ''The Changing Workplace." According to Anthony Brown, Director of the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, the purpose of the grant is to "get faculty members that do not have courses that are under the diversity requirement involved in the Design for Diversity and enhance their 'course.' The professors who receive the grants can use to funding to go to a conference, buy a computer program for a class, buy more books and reading materials or anything that fulfills the goals of the Design for Diversity program. The Design for Diversity program, started in 1988 by the then President Shaw of the Uw-System. was created to increase the presence of American Indian, African American, Asian American and LatinolHispanic students, faculty and staff in UW institutions. "Generally we have met all of the goals for Design for Diversity," Brown stated, also citing that Parkside has the second highest percentage of minority students in the UW system. UW-Milwaukee has the highest percentage. "We fortunately have received many grants from different areas over the last five years," said Brown. The current grant is the second received from the UW -System. -The office was also awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Humanities Council that is being used to fund speakers. Two presentations were given last semester and two more will take place this April. One of the speakers will be discussing Chinese Culture and its relation to dance and tradition. The free lecture will take place on April 21 following the Multicultural Center's awards ceremony. More information will be announced regarding the lectures as the dates grow nearer. Brown feels that cultural education is important for students entering a work force much more diverse than it was twenty years ago. "If we could get every department to have one course in diversity, then that would really open up the world to all the students on campus." Chancellor's inaugural activities by Pamela Bradshaw Staff Writer "University and Community: Moving Together into the 21 st Century" will be the theme for the inauguration ofPaI'kside's fourth Chancellor, Eleanor 1. Smith. The inauguration will be held on Saturday, April 1,_ at J 0 am in the Communication Arts Theater. Following the inauguration will be a reception and luncheon in Main Place. Other weekend activities will include a presentation of Chancellor Smith's work on Friday, March 31, and a University open house on Saturday, April 1, from 1:30to 3:30pm. The Friday presentation will be a concert written by Chancellor Smith entitled "Black Heritage: History, Music and Dance." The music will be from various periods of black history. It will be directed by Professor James Kinchen and performed by members of the UW-Parkside community and its environs. "I've always performed the concerts so it will be nice to see what somebody else does with it and I can sit there and look at it being performed and that will be very exciting," said Chancellor Smith, about the performance. The open house on Saturday will have displays, demonstrations and activities presented by the different departments, centers and programs at the University. Among the displays will be the architectural design for the proposed expansion of the physical education and housing buildings. Chancellor Smith encourages students to attend the inauguration because she thinks "they are a very important part of the community." The Chancellor states that one of her goals is "to open up this institution to the community and say we are a part of this community and you are a part of us." All the events will be free except for the luncheon which will cost $8 per person. The luncheon is subsidized by the university, but it couldn't cover the entire cost. Students will need to pick up tickets for the inauguration because space is limited. When and where the tickets will be available will be announced at a later time. iifK~. Calendar - p. 5 thlete of the Week . 6. • Stop the violence Grant pays for artists seen by him knowing where the woman goes, when. and with whom - sometimes why. She explained that the second stage of becoming a battered woman is done through emotions. A "constant mirage of verbal abuse" grows in time and it "affects a shift of thinking," she observed. "I don't care who you are, ... if I lock you up with someone who calls you names, he'll destroy your soul," she said. Carpenter told the audience that domestic violence is taught, for example, in literature. She noted that there are books which foster the notion that if a woman loves a troubled man and helps him, he'll change for the better. This notion, Carpenter explained, is as harmful as the tradition that places the needs of the husband and child first before her own according to Carpenter. It frustrated Carpenter that in the last thirty years, domestic violence has not changed, and that people only take notice of its magnitude "after we see some woman's dead and bloody body on TV." Carol Engberg, volunteer coordinator of Parkside's volunteer program was also present. She spoke of a collaboration of the Women's Horizon's Inc., Kenoshans Against Sexual Assault (KASA), and Carpenter's Domestic Violence Project to offer training to become a shelter supervisor for battered women, and advocate assistant, or a children's program assistant. The days and times of this training is at Kenosha Hospital in the auditorium from February 14.thru March 9 on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-9:00 pm. For more information, Engberg told the audience to call her at 595-2011 or come into the Career Center in Wyllie Hall, D175. art programs which represent the various disciplines of the performing arts, is culturally diverse, and meets the needs of the Kenosha, Racine, and Uw-Parkside communities."

By designing, developing, and delivering high quality funding programs, publications, and training, Arts Midwest accomplishes this goal. by Brian Matsen Staff Writer At noon on Feb. I in Union 104, Colleen Carpenter, program coordinator for the Domestic Violence Project in Kenosha, spoke on "Stopping Domestic Violence" - beginning one of seven various Soup & Substance Lectures, sponsored by the Parkside Activities Board and the Lecture and Fine Arts Committee. Carpenter, working with battered women for the past ten years and an activist in the women's movement for a previous seven to eight years, began with an observation. "On some level. we are all battered women," she said. She asked that we consider typical high school bullies or other people who tended to control situations. She stated that the behavior exhibited by these people is all about power. She also asserted that power without responsibility is dangerous. Carpenter urged that "if I communicate nothing else [during this talk. it] is not to fall in love with someone who batters you." She was sad to inform the audience that battered women who exhibit low self-esteem have been placed in a system that is labeled as "others." She also said that this label is first ushered upon the women by isolation. Carpenter went on to explain that "She" gives up parts of her life to make the husband happy. "She" stdps hanging around friends and acquaintances who her husband. doesn't like. "She" tries as hard as she can to please him. but it is never enough or she is doing something wrong. Carpenter stated that the woman always falls short of his expectations, and that this is done purposefully. "Batterers are like addicts," Carpenter said ~ never satisfied. The husband's amount of control is by Brian Matsen Staff Writer On behalf of Parkside's Activity Board (PAB), Diane Welsh, the assistant director of student life and director of university activities, recently applied for a grant from Arts Midwest. By her initiative, the Accent on Enrichment series at Parkside has received a $960 grant from this institution. This funding will directly cover touring artist and performance fees. Welsh observed that the Accent on Enrichment has been around since the 1%9 founding of Uw-Parksioe. The series was originally entitled, The Lecture Fine Arts Series, and it has always been a part of Parkside. The program's primary focus has been diversity. "The mission of the Uw-Parkside Accent on Enrichment Series," Welsh said, "is to present a high quality series of performing Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens to perfonn saxophones, drums, electrical guitars, and a synthesizer. The group has displayed their talent throughout the world, including Europe, Japan, and Australia, as the Queens have performed choreographed dance routines with their harmonies and by the mighty sound of Mahlathini 's characteristic voice, which is said to resemble a lion's roar. To hear these international artists costs $5.50 for UW-P students and $11 forthe general public. "There's no other experience in pop music quite like it," wrote The Washington Post. by Brian Matsen Staff Writer • South African pop group, Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, will be performing Feb. 8 at 7 pm in the Communication Arts Theater. This high energy group. formed in the I960s, dresses in colorful Zulu costumes and performs "mbaquanga" music. By mixing traditional African rhythms, street music, and international pop, "Queens" has been best known for their infectious music and rhythms that center on pulsating guitars, Volunteer of the Week pleased with Andrea's service. She stated, "We need I0 more volunteers like Andrea. She comes to school regardless of the weather and is doing wonders with the children. She is totally committed to helping them succeed. One of my teachers said, 'She's a God-send.'" Andrea, thinking philosophically, reports, "Everyone needs to have a dream whether it be to overcome the ' devastation of a crippling disease or the frustration of a math problem. Dreams are what keep us trying even when everything seems to go downhill. Part of my dream is to help others attain theirs." Thanks, Andrea, for creating less frustration in the world and helping dreams come true. The Career Center selects "Volunteers of the Week" based on their altruistic attuudes, the amount of time shared within the community and the positive impact their service has made in the lives of others.

Smith, came to an end - finishing a nation-wide comprehensive search for a UW-Parkside Vice Chancellor/Provih'il. Of this search, over 135 applications were received, and the chair of this search, David J. Wright, associate professor of finance, was relieved to have the search go as well as it did. "Acting on behalf of the University," states the committee's mission statement, "the Committee will present to the Chancellor a slate of candidates for the position of Vice Chancellor/Provost who possess the skills, qualifications, and values necessary to serve and significantly advance the University's mission." Again, Wright was very pleased with the progress of the committee and looked forward towards the future months. "They worked very hard," he said, Their collective goal began in November to fulfill this mission. Phase one was to construct a job description position for the position of Vice Chancellor. They then various advertisements in The Chronicle of Higher Education, Black Issues in Higher Education, Women's Review of Books, and Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, implementing a recruitment plan to produce a rich, diverse pool of qualified candidates. "Diversity," Wright said, is the "very key to our university." Among the professional and personal qualifications requested, was "a strong academic background with an earned terminal degree," appropriate administrative experience including experience in program planning and budgetary management," and possessing "strong oral, written, analytical, and interpersonal skills." In addition to the university's advertising and personal networking, direct mail announcements were sent to 2,200 organizations. Among them were Presidents, Chancellors, and Vice Chancellors of Wisconsin colleges and universities, independent of the UW system or not, members of Black, Hispanic, and Women's Caucuses, and the American Association of Universities. In phase two, the screening of these applicants are taking place - discussing with each candidate their background, re-evaluating their qualifications, and telephoning their references to check their credibility. This Crime comes to Phy Ed Building UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE February 16. 1995 process is still in motion, and will continue until phase three is completed - when a Vice Chancellor or Provost, chief academic officer, is finally picked for UW-Parkside. Wright hopes that after Spring Break, he will have a narrower list of candidates that will be able to visit the campus. This would give the students an opportunity to ask the candidates questions and to get to know them. Wright is among the thirteen other members of Parks ide's faculty, students, and even individuals such as Greg Anderegg, manager of Community Relations Worldwide for S.C. Johnson Wax Inc. involved in this committee. Others are Prof. Timothy Fossum, Prof. Vera Kolb, Assoc. Prof. Dwayne Olsen, Assoc. Prof. Rose Scott, Director of Women's Studies and Assoc.

The addressed a small audience. They shared their stories on February 13 in Union 104. "I nternship is everything," said Roscoe Chambers, a 1976 graduate in psychology. "One thing that distinguishes [applicants] is whether ;r. not they have prior experience," aid Chambers, who now owns an employment agency. Chambers and Associates in Kenosha. Chambers did TIOlOpt for graduate school because he ~host: t~ earn money to raise a family. Y giVing him a year's pay after he left, Chambers said that J. I. Case provided him with the opportunity to start his own business. - There is "a crisis of minorities in State [of Wisconsin] employment," said Dannie Actkins, who now works for the State of Wisconsin training people to look for employ~~nt. Because the crime numbers are nsmg, minorities are being encouraged to apply for state jobs in the crimin~l justice system. As a result, Kenosha IS being mandated to hire mo~e minorities. A 1978 alumna In psychology, education, and soctology, Actkins finds that her background IS very beneficial. "For 16 years y:e worked for the State of Wisconsin m some capacity or other. Experience is very important. The fact that you are doing something, that. y~u are motivated, involved, this IS very important," she said. Janet Days said that the m?st significant factor in her quick placement after graduation was her internship. Taking advantage of the internship opportunities at Parkside "really paid off," Days said. In addition to Days, a 1990 graduate in sociology, the other members of the panel were Jerry Baldwin, Jr., a 1987 graduate in mechanical engineering; and Charles Raine, a ]992 graduate in economics. So, bow do you find the job of your dreams? Baldwin said that he made opportunities for himself because he he learned quickly, making himself more valuable. "There were great opportunities in my job that were not initially apparent. Lots of things I didn't think I'd do," he said. One member of the audience, Margaret Wright said it was great that the alumni came back for the discussion. "It was a good panel," Wright said. New senators announced Noose hung over student's bed it has been said that McClellend had hung a noose over the beds of roommates that he had in the past. Triplet! felt especially threatened because he saw the incident as racially motivated. Triplett is upset that "the other incidents in the past involving Steve [McClellend] were looked over and the situations worsened." He had reported difficulties about his roommate since last semester. At present Triplett has been removed from his room with McClellend and placed into another unit. What Triplett requests is that his former roommate (McClellend) be removed from housing and Matt Hechel, the R.A. aware of the situations, be ousted from his position. He asks also that the Administrative Offices of housing be trained in how to deal with racial and potentially hostile issues that impact on the students' living environment. Internships still available Two vacant senate seats were filled at the Feb. 3 PSGA senate meeting. Edwardo "Eddie" Vargas and Sonya Vollmer were sworn into office. The two have already begun spending two hours a week in the PSGA office. As Vice President of the Hispanic Organization of Parks ide (HOP), Eddie is currently involved with a support group for Hispanic teenagers at Case High School in Racine. He stated that he wanted to join PSGA, "in hopes of getting even more involved." Sonya said, since last September, she has experienced nothing but positive surroundings and attitudes with this university. by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer After the weekend of February 4. 1995, Marlon Triplett, a freshman at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, returned to his room in the housing unit the following Monday to find a noose hung over his bed. "I wish to bring to your attention an incident that shocked me, made me very upset, and had me in fear of my life," Triplett wrote in a letter to Steve McLaughlin, dean of students. In addition to the noose hanging over his bed, Triplett found a note that he considered threatening on his dresser. It is alleged that his roommate, Steve McClellend, is responsible for both incidents. There was another occasion in which Triplett felt less than secure in his living situation with McCleliend. In the living room of their unit hung a poster with a note on it which read, "two down. but one to go." The poster had arrows directed at two African American males who lived in the unit Intern positions at local and national agencies will be available through a program at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside.

Tuition is no bargain, study finds UW-Parkside, Carthage address need for teachers of color A study of UW System tuition rates shows that UW System tuition is already near the median of peer institutions, not below the median as previous studies have shown. The study, conducted by the United Council of UW Student Governments, is based on data released last week by the UW System Administration, which compared the UW System to other university systems. The study shows that average four-year in-state UW tuition is very near the median of peer systems. The UW System average 1994-95 tuition is $4.895, and the low is the University of Texas system at $1,458. "This study debunks the misconception that UW tuition is lower than it should be. Our tuition is very close the median. salaries are at the median, and administrative costs are below the median. students are paying their fair share." said David C. Stacy, President of United Council. The study also shows that Wisconsin has much higher out- of-state tuition than most other states. While tuition is near the median of peer institutions, high out-of-state tuition is keeping in- state tuition below the average. At four-year UW System institutions. out-of-state tuition is more than $700 above the median. The average UW System out-of- state tuition is $5,003 compared to the median of $4.290. "The Board of Regents has clearly had a policy of raising tuition levels for out-of-state students to keep tuition levels lower for in-state. This policy improves access for Wisconsin residents," Stacy said. The UW System study also found that the cost of educating students in the UW System is significantly lower than the average among peer systems. "Education costs are lower in Wisconsin than in other states. It is because we have been more efficient here in Wisconsin that our tuition levels are not as high as systems such as the University of Massachusetts system and the Pennsylvania State University system," Stacy said. in grades 1-6 in schools in southeastern Wisconsin. Under the new agreement the University of Wisconsin Extension has agreed to provide funding for faculty beyond those supported by Carthage or UW- Parkside. Additionally. Carthage agrees to enroll students from northern Illinois as part of its evening program to provide a more financially feasible arrangement for out-of-state students. Appropriate offices on each campus will work together to facilitate admissions, financial assistance and scholarships. To enroll in the program. individuals must have a bachelor's degree. Students in the program complete six modules offered over an academic year and summer. The professional education program is taught by teacher education faculty at both UW- Parkside and Carthage College, as well as master teachers from area school districts. In an effort to increase the important educational need in number of teachers of color and southeastern Wisconsin," Smith males at the elementary school said.

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.

The Chancellor shared her goals for UW-Parkside in her convocation address. These goals include creating a complete learning community I fostering diversity, and providing quality service to southeastern Wisconsin. Smith wants to build on Parkside's "solid foundation" of the past 25 years. In this way, Parkside will be ready to enter the 21st century. Chancellor Eleanor Smith gave her first convocation address to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside on August 31. At the breakfast meeting, Smith honored distinguished staff and faculty on behalf of the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. Among those honored were Teaching Excellence Award winners Maria Leavitt, Lecturer of Spanish, and Pirooz Mohazzabi, Professor of Physics.

"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.

SUFAC budget recommendations pass Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document n Several discrepancies existed in the article about the noose hanging incident printed in last week's issue of The Ranger News. "I feel that it is imperative that accurate information about the incident be available to the public," staled DeAnn Possehl, Director of Residence Life. "It is true that on February 6, 1995, Marian Triplett did return to find a noose hanging up in his room," She said that the incident was reported to Matt Hechel, the R.A., who then contacted her for input. Possehl advised Hechel to contact University Police. She stated that once an officer arrived at Triplett's room, he had left. University Police had to follow up with the situation later that evening when Triplett returned. According to Possehl. "The complaint is now being handled through the normal university student discipline process." Another concern that Possehl had was that Triplett hadn't complained about any"racist behavior" prior to the incident on February 4. Possehl stated, By Pamela Bradshaw "Should the Minimum wage be increased" was the topic of the February 15th Soup and Substance lecture. Norman Cloutier, associate professor of economics at UWParkside, outlined the advantages and disadvantages of raising the federal minimum wage. "At least up until the earlier 1980's you get a typical sawtooth pattern of the minimum wage," explained Cloutier, describing the increases in the minimum wage and subsequent decrease in its real value due to inflation. "During the Reagan administration the minimum wage wasn't increased at all," Cloutier stated. Currently, approximately 3% of all people employed earn the minimum wage. "The value of the minimum wage relative to other wages being earned is 30~50% of the average manufacturing wage. "The vast majority of economists Teri Jacobson "room conflicts are not unusual in an apartment living situation." She said that Hechel met with the residents of Triplett'S housing unit on at least two occasions to talk about any problems in the apartment. "It is standard residence Iife procedure to attempt to resolve roommate conflicts through mediation," Possehl stated. In addition, it was Triplett who requested a room change in November. Possehl approved a room change on February 3, 1995 when Triplett found one with which he was satisfied. Possehl added, "this request was approved prior to the incident." Hechel asserted that conflicts regarding cleanliness were the origional reasons why Triplett had asked to move. The Ranger quoted Triplet in a letter he addressed to Steve McLaughlin, Dean of students at UWParkside. Triplet requested that there should be training "in how to deal with racial and potentially hostile issues that impact on the student's living environment." In response, Possehl pointed out that "resident advisors receive approximately 50 hours of training in the fall and 16 hours of training mid year." In this are not in favor of the minimum wage," Cloutier stated, because they believe the increase will cause' unemployment. However, Cloutier states that an increase would not cause "massive disemployment of any groups." "A 10% increase in the minimum wage will result in a 1-3% decline in employment for teenagers," Cloutier said. "It's going to hurt those people who have the lowest production, training or skill." "We should increase the minimum wage because we shouldn't have people working full time in poverty," Cloutier said, explaining the reasoning given for increasing the minimum wage. However, he added that "the link between increases in the minimum wage and poverty are very weak." Most of the people recei ving the minimum wage are part time workers. Cloutier believes that "both the opponent and proponents generally The University of Wisconsin- UW-Parkside will be sending 8 Parkside wrestling team has been wrestlers to the NCAA nationals to be ranked #JO in the country in the latest held March 3rd and 4th in Kerney, NAIA wrestling poll.

In his letter Triplett also requested that Hechel.be ousted from his positon as R.A. Hechel stated that he was not sure why Triplett would ask that since he had been According to Hechel, Triplett called him and said that there was a rope hanging above Mcf.Iellandts (Triplett's former roommate) desk. At the advise of Possehl he called the University Police who then responded. Hechel stated, "Once it's in the police's hands, it's out of the RA.' s hand." When Heche} saw the noose, which Triplett referred to as a rope, he was offended and thus acted promptly by calling Possehl, and then the police. Hechel, too, states that Triplett was not around when the unversity officer ani ved at the scene. Steve McLaughlin, dean of students, stated that at present they are trying to complete the investigation and are in the process of disciplinary action. by Brian Matsen In the January 26th issue of the Ranger, a proposed Campus Secure Program was mentioned and surveys that accompanied the article were to be filled out and brought to the Campus police department or the Ranger News office. As mentioned in the Jan 26 edition, the Campus Secure Program would provide "each student, faculty, and staff member who subscribes to the system with a tiny personal radio transmitter which is .carried on a key chain or necklace. When a button on the transmitter is held down for 3/4 of a second, a personally coded signal for help is sent .... "- Within seconds of this signal, help would be on the way.

Discrepancies cleared up by Tabitha Brown Staff Writer At the Feb, 17th, PSGA Senate meeting, Segregated University fees Allocation committee (SUF AC) budget recommendations for 1995-96 were passed by the Parkside Student Government Association. Of the 23 requests, 18 organizations' budgets either increased or remained the same, and the rest decreased for next year. Total increased spending for next year amounted to $39,807, a 2.9% increase up from this year giving SUFAC $1,436,492 for the 1995-96 budget. The music department, with a 48.5% increase' $3.300, the childcare center, with a 21.8% increase; $8,500 and the Union Administration with a 31.0% increase; $26,000, were among th~ 18 organizations who received the highest increases for next year. See Noose, page 2 Raising minimum wage overstate their case." "To establish the impact of a minimum wage you have to hold everything else constant," Cloutier stated. Difficulties in studying the effect of a minimum wage include: not all labor is covered by the minimum wage, different states have different levels of the minimum wage and not all employers comply with the minimum wage laws. by Brian Matsen At noon on February 15 in Molninaro 109, Mcri-Ra Kwesi , a lecturer on "Afrikan" fashion and culture and a designer of Africancentric apparel, brought an educational lecture and slide presentation to a highly receptive audience. Her presentation, The Cultural Destruction of Afrikan Fashions, Once Sacred, Now Desecrated, was based on her travels and research on the textiles of Ethiopia, Nigeria, and Spain, and also from assorted garments and accessories from Egypt, Cana, and Morocco. Kwcst's presentatio_n dealt with her Motherland, Africa, from ancient times to the present. Her goal was to "uncover the importance of African fashions" - what they meant; their symbolism; their authority - and transmit this cultural respect to her audience. She was upset that African fashions have not been taken seriously. In fact, through the plagiarism of African fashions, as her presentation proved, her culture's fashions have been ravaged. She continued to stress that "anything goes ... but they don't know the meanings." The study of ancient times in Africa show that power was illustrated by the clothes and accessories a person, whether they were a king, warrior or commoner, wore. "Not everybody was allowed to wear everything," she said. "If you increase the income of some people it is coming at the cost of not having income for some others," stated Cloutier. He also stated that he is against the minimum wage, believing that programs like the Earned Income Credit would help relieve poverty more effectively. Cloutier holds a doctorate in economics from West Virginia University. His teaching and research interests are in labor econometrics and inequality. He has also published several articles in the area of income distribution. of the campus does not care. Even though an overwhelming 48 women, compared to 27 men responded to a questionnaire about this proposed program, these numbers are small compared to the population at this university. According to Leuenberger, "It doesn't seem like the student body cares," said Jeffrey Leuenberger, University Police Supervisor. He seemed upset that the responses were poor, but gave the indication that life moves on. Of the total 75 responses, 21 individuals said "no" to any secure system if offered on the campus; 16, seven men and eight women, said "yes" and the remaining thirty-eight responses said that more information is needed. Through the use of her slide show, Kwesi displayed visually documented proof of cultural fashion traditions introduced by ancient Egyptians and Moors that brought Europe out of the "Dark Ages", the plagiarism of African symbols, styles, and practices from ancient times to modem, and the treatment of her culture's elaborate fashions and adornments as insignificant fads in a Europeandominated fashion industry. Among the many stolen attributes to African fashion was the fur coat. In times long ago, the fur coat was used for keeping fleas off of the people. Bugs and such would go onto and into generally used wolf skin, then be brushed out or shaken out later. The fur coat was not a statement of fashion, it was a way to make life better. Hairstyles and makeup techniques were stolen, too, from the African culture. Make-up, for instance, was used to protect the eyes of people along the Nile. "Long before Fruit of the Loom, we had the drawers," said Kwesi, followed by a rally of applause. The loin cloth was worn in Africa before underwear was even thought of. Even the bustle W'IS stolen from African culture. "They even stole our butt," she said. As time ran short, less than half of the audience moved next door for about fifteen. minutes to hear the conclusion of Kwesi' s presentation. During this time, she spoke more about herself and how she came to doing her lecture and slide show. ~ ,O'~II Students respond to governor s budget . . .. 1 1m;, is whether or not working becoming .

It is also a great learning experience. Nursing student, Michelle Barrera, who recently began her clinical volunteer work at the Shalom Center in Kenosha, said even after being there for one day, "it really gave me a different outlook on life." by Kara Pacetti Parksides second annual Volunteer Fair, sponsored by the Parkside Community Outreach Club (PCOC), was held in Upper Main Place on Wednesday, February 15 from 9:00 .HI)- 1:00 pm. Thirty-three agencies from Kenosha, Racine, and Burlington, ranging from the Girl Scouts of America to Southeast Wisconsin AIDS Project participated in the fair. The fair, which is held once a year, is geared toward recruiting students, faculty and staff into volunteer service and to create campus/community awareness of what services these agencies provide to the community. Senior Alaina Whitney states, "There is such a great need for volunteers." Volunteering for the past six years as a guardian for the Kenosha Guardianship Assistance Program, Whitney adds, "The greatest thing [about volunteering] is the satisfaction of knowing that you actually can make a big difference in individuals' lives." Students, faculty and staff SUFAC, continued by SUFAC. Ranger Editor-In- Chief, _Nick Zahn stated his opposition to the cut. "A $2,000 cut would not be healthy for the newspaper next year," said Zahn Jacobson explained that budget increases and decreases are determined by how an organization's money was spent the previous year. Part of the rationale for the Ranger's decrease was problems with the salary. She stated, "There is enough money to work around with in the salary without a $2,000 miscellaneous salary." The miscellaneous salary would be set aside for next year's Editor-InChief and Managing Editor. Zahn argued that, "Considering the amount of time needed, and responsibility (with these two jobs), it is only fair that this amount of money be offered (for next year)." "Although people volunteer their time for the Ranger, many others cannot afford to, which discourages many people from participating at all," said Zahn. "If you want to have a student newspaper that is able to seriously report news on campus, you're going to have to spend a little bit more money (than what has been offered)." The outcome of the appeals have left Ranger's budget for next 'year with a $1,000 cut, instead of a $2,000 cut previously proposed by SUFAC. The Ranger News was the only organization to appeal their budget as recommended by SUFAC .

I have met a lot of people - both faculty and students and it has made me a better time manager. Anyone can volunteer. They need to fill out an application, which is available at the Students are selected as "Volunteers of the Week" by their altruistic attitudes, the amount of time shared within the community and the impact their service has made in the lives of others. This week's volunteer is Jeff Rhein. Jeff Rhein is a junior majoring in Biology with an interest in Pre-Health. When the Safewalk Program at UW· Parkside began in November, 1993, Jeff signed up and became a participant. Last spring, the Safewalk Coordinator position opened and Jeff was nominated and voted to fill this volunteer position. Jeff stated, "We have volunteers from all ages and majors. They have one common concern and that is to keep the Uw-Parkside campus a safe place to be without worry. Many of the safewalkers are from housing, housing office. Volunteers are scheduled once or twice a monthfrom 7:00pm-Midnight, Sunday through Thursday. I encourage students to use the Safewalk service regularly." Jeff became a Habitat for Humanity volunteer late last semester whentbe Habitat Club was formed. He has helped with dry walling, plumbing, and staining in a home in Racine that will be owned by a low income family. Thanks Jeff for being a campus leader and a community worker.

I briefly ~onderedwho, what or if They were. The questions I had were so few in Umber that you could fit them all in a n . thimble and still have room left to spare. The complexity of my questions were also limited. I didn't seek answers because the concept of Him didn't seem to bother me one wayor the other. _ When I was eighteen He was back again in my mind. This time I was more curious about Him. My questions at the time were greater in number and were a little less conceptual. Iwas looking for some tangible answers. I didn't know where to turn. So, I met up with someone with whom I began to talk of God and of Christ. We went to church togetherand studied the bible together aodeven prayed together. My interest at the time, however, began to wean when she moved away to another city. I didn't push to know more. I dion't need to. I took my questions, which at die time were enough in number to fill my back pocket, and went along my merry way. He didn't really enter my mind again. Now, I'm twenty eight. He is back againand this time in a BIG way. My questions are so great in number that they could fill a football stadium and tbey are burning for answers. I've been wanting factual answers to very conceptual questions and getting conceptual answers to very factual questions. It's driving me crazy. I yearn to know for sure if there is a God. The concept really blows me away. I'm a "facts and figures" girl. Show me something concrete and I'll I I Ig s. ra 'r " I s, h I e II e be content. Give me quotes from the bible (a book which has no authors' name on the cover, i.e. how can I be sure of its validity) and then I feel even more empty. There have been so many injustices in my life as of late, medical problems and personal as well. It's been so overwhelming. And the lives of so many others are even far worse than mine. If He is real, then why does he allow so much pain? And, if sinners go to Hell, then I'm in BIG trouble because I could fill ten thousand football stadiums with all of mine, and that's just this week. Yet, my new friend Andy tells me that if I can just allow Christ into my heart and believe God's love that all of my sins will be washed away and that heaven will be mine. He's so certain of what he feels and knows about God. I wish I were him. You would think I would just say, "Yes, I believe!", knowing that it will get me all of this great stuff (a clean slate and a place in heaven). But I can't yet. I can't because no one has answered my questions to my satisfaction. This is the third time in my life I have corne to the table with questions. I've walked away without answers twice before. I don't want to walk away this time empty handed. I've got to settle this. I've got to know. I need to firmly believe one way or the other. I can't let another ten years go by. I'm making a real effort this time to understand. I've been reading up on the subject (Bible) and have gone to a few bible study meetings. Last week I attended an Intervar si ty Christian Fellowship meeting and felt like a fish out of water. Everyone was kind and welcomed me with open arms, that's not what alienated me from them. It was their certainty of Letters to the Editor Governor Tommy wanlS your cash Does anyone remember those campaign commercials featuring TommyThompson jogging along with happy kids all on their way to a good education, followed by the sloganThompson for Education? Those kids wereapparently not from Wisconsin. Thompson's mega sized budget plan hit the floor last week with a resounding thud. Although, to University students, it may have sounded like a bomb going off. The document itself was 3000+ pages long and contained suggestions, recommendations and plans that cover everypiece of life the state has control OVer.We really don't have the time to lookat the whole thing, so let's just see how it affects the student population. Tommy wants the UW-System to become more self-sufficient and less dependent on property taxes. This is not all that bad of a goal. Wisconsin ~s have a fairly high property tax rate ID comparison to other states. To that ~nd his plan cal1s for a percentage Increasein tuition for System schools in the 95-96 year and again in the 96-97 year. These increases would be 4.7% and 3.8% at Madison, 5,7% and 4.8% at Milwaukee and 6.1 % and 5.2% at all other UW comprehensives. These increases are on top of usual scheduled inflationary tuition increases and the technology fee increase. There is also a required cut of $10 million from the system from current system expenditures. Now, can someone explain to me why Milwaukee and Madison receive lower increases than all the other schools? And can we make an educated guess given that example of where the bulk of the cuts are going to come from? If these budget proposals are intended to make the system more self-sufficient, I think it would only make sense to apply the increases and cuts across the board, not to play political favorites with them. Not that I would ever accuse Gov. Tommy of using these cuts as political football, I'm sure that would never happen. But wait, there's more! Tommy also suggests a $40 tuition surcharge for 95- God and my lack thereof which kept me from them. Still I plan to give it another try. If any of you readers are interested in joining me you can fi~d me in the back of the room at the next meeting. Last night I went to bed angered and saddened with my struggle. I decided I was going to leave it all alone. I decided to just stop asking questions and looking for Him in my life. I decided that I couldn't give this subject one more day's thought. Then, this morning I woke up and He was the first thing that came into my mind. HE was back again. I couldn't make the question of Him go away this time like I'd been able to so many times before in my life. And He's here with me now. I feel like someone has placed some tormenting "spell" on me. I can't run away from my thoughts. I can't push them down any longer. They won't let me. I NEED to know. I NEED to understand. I NEED to believe one way or the other. Do you know what I mean? Any of you? Do you need to know too? If any of you are familiar with my struggle, let's talk about it sometime. Join me in bible study on Thursdays at 5:00 p.m. in Union 202. It's a pretty interesting hour. We debate, discuss and depart. No strings. If you're not interested in bible study then you can find me via the Ranger office. Stop in or leave a message. Or we can talk somewhere else. I don't care where it is. I might find some comfort in knowing that someone else is where I am with this whole thing. Maybe there is strength in numbers and we can find answers together. Then again, maybe not. That's just it. I don't know. I just don't know. But at least for today, I know that I intend to keep searching. 96 and $80 for 96-97. These moneys are to be used to fund property tax relief. Well, I certainly can see where he got his reputation as a friend of education. It is one thing to make a plan that removes the educational burden from the property tax rolls, but is another thing entirely to place the property tax burden on the backs of the students. What we have here is another case of a politician shifting tax burdens from one area to another and calling it a tax cut. Yes, property taxes in Wisconsin are out of control. Yes, the UW System could be trimmed from the top and made to be more self-sufficient. No, this is not the way to do it. This budget plan will only speed the constant decrease in services that the System is already suffering. It will only discourage potential students from trying to get a college education. It will only sell the future for the price of good polls and a possible presidential campaign. Tyson Wilda Apology .

This week's story seeks to address the imbalance some in the campus community supposed the original story to havehad. . EDITORIAL .p 0 LIe Y The Ranger News encourages and invites Letters to the Editor, whether they agree or disagree with a story or column. Also readers' viewpoints on campus/community issues can be vented through such letters. When many letters express similar viewpoints, a representative sample may be published. Letters should not eXceed 250 words and should be delivered to the Ranger office (WYLL D139C) before noon on Monday. Letters must be typed and double-spaced, must contain no misleading or libelous content, and must include the author's name and phone number. Letters which fail to comply will be returned to the author. The Ranger News reserves the right to edit letters. One Llberal's Opinion by Barh Churchill Now that we're stuck with him (why, oh why, didn't voters see through this man?), Newt Gingrich (aka "His Obnoxiousness") used his influence as Speaker of the House to limit Presidential authority to send troops into foreign countries, appatently because he's tired of the UN taking 'advantage of our soldiers. (This was covered under one of the provisions of the "Contract with America.") Appearances can sometimes be deceiving, however. This violates the separation of powers principle inherent in our Constitution. Subsequently, Democrats could call this the "Contract on America." Limit presidential authority in all the ways that count, and call it nothing except "cutting waste." However, if the Congress really wanted to cut waste, they'd cut Gingrich's (and every other Congressman's) salary until the budget is balanced. (Oh, yeah, and no more raises either.) They'd also delete perqs, such as subsidized medical care, pensions for former Speakers (that run into the millions of dollars), and "complimentary" trips on federal planes for junkets to Jamaica. But, no, that would cramp their style too much. Instead, they say, let's limit presidential authority. Then it's a win/win scenario: taxpayers still blindly pay for the junkets, and the president looks like an idiot. The few Democrats left in Congress are fuming, but powerless. They can't stop Gingrich: he's a steamroller set on overload. Nothing sticks to this man; not his questionable book deal, not his messy divorce (when he claims to be a paragon of virtue.), and not his waffling on issues. However, when petty partisan bickering takes the place of debate on issues, the people must act. It's time to hold your Congressmen and Representatives accountable. Let our representati ves hear your voice on issues that matter, such as the baseball strike, the economy, foreign policy, crime, etc. (Write Gingrich some nasty letters too, but keep it polite.) It's time for our representatives in Washington to think of us for a change, and not just the next handout. An old proverb states, "May you get exactly what you deserve." Are we really receiving the best government, or only the government that we "deserve" due to voter inattention and apathy? Praise of the week goes to Baltimore Orioles owner, Peter Angelos, who is refusing to field a "team" of scabs (I mean, "replacement players.") It's nice to know some owners aren't morons. However, Outrage of the Week is shared by the baseball owners, who are attempting to fine or take Angelos' team away from him if he refuses to comply, and Tommy Thompson, who once again lowered the boom on students. (May I say that I saw it coming? Thank. you.) Observations In Case You Missed It c. 1. Nelson Yes, I know that the title to this weeks commentary is also the name of my sports column. You see, I am stealing my own idea and adapting it. to my opinion piece this week. No Comment: I was going to talk some more about race relations in this week's column. I have been asked to forgo doing so this week. Rest assured, I am not through with that subject. Tain't Funny: Last week, the Ranger printed the story of an incident in student housing. The incident is being investigated, I am told; I am further informed that man who left the noose over the bed thought it was only a joke-some joke. Hey, Mr. McClelland, joking about a noose to an African-American male is like joking with a Nazi twisted cross to a person of Jewish heritage- it just is not. funny. Perhaps everyone should take a history course on the subject of the African-American experience in the U. S. After all, it is Fehruary (Black History Month) and that makes it a perfect time. Engage your brain before you act next time. Dem's, We Owe You One: The Democratic party rendered this nation a great service recently by opposing the idea of a 3/5 supermajori ty requirement for tax increases. The Constitution does not allow for a supermajority in the case of revenue hikes . No, You Can't Have It: Private property rights used to mean something in this country. Recently, in the name of the government and the environment, that right has been steadily eroded away. Presently in Congress is a bill known as the Property Owners Bill of Rights. All this legislation does is restore the takings clause of the fifth amendment to its rightful place. Declaring a dry farmers field a wet land so that he may not sell it to a housing developer is an obscene abuse of law. There are examples after examples of the environmental police taking, or restricting, the legitimate (and I stress the word legitimate) use of private property. President Reagan was right in ] 983 when he stated, "Some environmentalists will not be happy until they have turned the clock back a hundred years and have a bird's nest instead of housing." I Feel Sick: Not surprising in this area. It seems those geniuses at the EPA have decided that a reformulated gasoline must be used in Wisconsin and other cities and states. Problem is-it makes people sick. The EPA, as you might expect, denies this (it is one of the truisms of a liberal, they never make a mistake or admit to one, and they always know better than you) Our Governor Tommy Thompson is willing to go to bat for his people and has ordered a state investigation. Tommy's In Charge: I know that several other writers in these pages do not like the current chief executive in Madison. I am, on the whole, quite pleased and comfortable with his leadership. The only mistake he is making is the way he wants to fund education in this state. To the letter writer whining about property tax relief: I own a house, if you did also, you might see the other side of the coin. Go Out To A Ball Game: Show those greedy players. If the Brewers and the Cubs are going to make baseball affordable again, then I'm going. Besides I want to see the players lose this strike. As I stated last week, Donald Fehr is one of the biggest anal retentives in the nation. ----'-------=======::=----=---=--=========::::======::::=:J True Talent rroet's Corne Sibling Rivalry. The heart of a family, the juice of competition, and the basis for Sam Shepard's True West. On February 20 I attended a dress rehearsal of UW-Parkside's performance of True West. It was thrilling. The performance accented the subtle complexities that two rival brothers feel for each other. Austin, performed by Chris Harder, is an up and coming Hollywood screen writer. His older brother Lee, performed by Maxwell Mount, is a petty thief and drifter. The two brothers are at odds in everything and when they come together to write a western the emotional tension explodes. Director Leon Van Dyke does an admirable job of presenting the little nuances of the characters, and the subtle yet hidden love that the brothers feel for each other. True West is a superb play and the UWParkside actors do an excellent job of presenting such complex emotions. The first public performance will be held on Fehruary 24-25. After that there will be performances on March 2-4. Due to limited seating individuals should call ahead for tickets. For the tickets call the UW-Parkside Ticket office between 8-4pm, Monday through Friday at (414) 595-2564.

Boys By Dawn Apostoli If y?U want a movie that will make you laugh one minute and cry the next, then you should see Boys On The Side with Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Louise Parker. This movie is exceptional, enlightening, and definitely worth going to see- especially if you are a woman. Men will enjoy this film too, but it sort of seems like it's more of a woman's movie. The film starts out with Jane (played by Goldberg) planning to go to Los Angeles to pick up her music. career. She finds another woman Robin (played by Parker), wbo also has ' intentions of going to the West Coast. So, the two decide to car pool. Upon first glance, you see that their personalities clash a great dealJane is an outspoken, witty woman, while Robin is very timid and emotional. However, these characteristics do eventually intermix during the .course of the movie. On their way across the country, Jane stops in Pittsburgh to meet up with one of her good friends, Holly (played by Barrymore). A mishap occurs though. Holly is being beaten by her on the Side (****) boyfriend (Nick), and Jane tries, but fails, to stop him. Robin steps in and is able to control the situation for a little while with her quiet voice and meek actions. Nick is cooled down for awhile, but soon he's swinging the girls against the wall again. This time it's Holly's turn to put Nick in his place by beating him over the head with a baseball bat. While he's down and out (but still alive), they tie him up and head towards L.A. After a few days of good laughs and fun times, Holly decides it's time to return home to Nick. But, they soon see the headlines in the newspaper saying that a drug dealer (Nick) was found dead. Holly is stricken with guilt and sadness. This man may be the father of the baby she is carrying. The other girls are surprised to hear that Holly is eight weeks pregnant, but they each have their little secrets too. Jane, we find out, is a lesbian, and Robin tests positive for an extremely terrible disease. The girls decide not to report the "Nick Incident" to the police, so they continue westward and end up staying in Tucson where Holly falls in love with a man who happens to be a cop. What happens when she tells him about Nick? Will her boyfriend be faithful to the law V~e GJ3tac~eroioes this album of a million singers. Robinson is a vocalist who is able to incorporate a sense of real feeling into his singing. because of his extraordinary voice and feel, Robinson is probably one the best vocalists out there today, Amorica is a very well rounded album. It's an album that will start rockin', give you a groove to move to, mellow out into soothing sounds of a ballad. and then start rockin' allover again. A definite stand out is a song called "P, 25 London," This tune will catch your ear right away with the Hendrix-like guitar riff in the introduction, "Cursed Diamond" is one of the many songs with so much feeling, and such a catchy groove, that you may find yourself closing your eyes and letting the soul of this song soak into your own. It starts out as a gradual flowing groove and turns into a raw, and yet melodic, verse. The last song on the album, called "Descending:' shows off the talents of Hello our fellow readers. Here is the children's movie we promised and it is called Heavyweights. From the director of The Mighty Ducks comes the story of Jerry an 11- year old who is looking forward to a summer of Nintendo and hanging out with friends. Little does Jerry know, his parents have a better idea. I Since Jerry is a little overweight, his parents want to send . him to a camp for overweight children. Jerry objects at first until he sees the videotape of the go-carts and ''The Blob." and tum her in? Will he be faithful to her and keep her secret? Or is there a way he can be faithful to both? In the meantime, Jane is trying to make Robin's life happier and more meaningful by setting her up with a man. Robin resents Jane's helpfulness; therefore, their friendship splits up for a while .... until a mutual responsibility pulls them back together. There are episodes in the movie that are very humorous, very serious, and very depressing. It's not until near the end though, that you might have to struggle to hold back the tears. Almost every part of the ending is sad: Robin's mother's thoughts about how Robin will always stay with her (and not leave her like her son and husband did), seeing Robin with her skeleton frame and sickly face, and listening to Jane finish Robin's song while painful tears stream down both their faces. Not only was it me that found this movie to be so sad, but so did all the people in the theater who were sniffling and shedding tears. I really liked this movie, and hopefully you will find it as enjoyable as I did. So, I definitely recommend it for everyone who wants a good laugh and a good cry at the same time! piano player Eddie Harsch, This is a beautiful sounding song that combines a crisp piano with the sounds of smooth slide guitar, It is good example of what the Black Crowes, as a band, are really capable of. The result is more than satisfying. An album of this sort that contains so much soul, feelings, and grooves, is hard to put into words, Most importantly, it is probably best to be enjoyed rather than I described, My advice would be to listen for, yourself and create your own meaning from the feel you get from this album, That" s what Amorica is made up of - soulful feelings with a groove to move. I must add that I have seen the Black Crowes live, and it was one of the best shows that I have ever seen. They .are one of the few bands you could ever say that sound better live than on the album, Either way, Amorica is sure to bring life to the _ stage and into your souL 1:ales from the <irytics Jfeavy weights Ben Stiller is about to take a heavy hit in Heavyweights - R.T"s Real CD Review After a few days at the camp, Jerry meets up with camp legend Josh ( who you might see starring in any upcoming Godfather films). The tW9 find out the camp isn't run by a sweet elderly couple anymore but that it's run by a psycho cross between Richard Simmons and Dennis Miller. Overall, this is a decent kids movie. In our opinion, there isn't anything that a child's eyes couldn't see. This is a perfect Saturday or Sunday afternoon movie but this isn't one to get all psyched up about. We are going to have to give this one a yellow light as a children's movie which isn't anything we haven't seen before . .........---_........... By: Robby Thompson The Black Crowes have flown in once again, Actually, they've never really flown away, Ever since their first album Shake Your Moneymaker, the Black Crowes have remained on top of the charts, So how do you go about describing the Black Crowes? Put simply, they stand in a class that" s all their own. Amorica, their new album, is everything a Crowes fan could want: Pure southern harmony, Although overshadowed by their first two "radio friendly" albums, Amorica has yet to get a lot of air play, Since the album's release late in 1994, only one single, "A Conspiracy:' has been released, Nonetheless, "A Conspiracy" is one great song among many others, Consistent with the Crowe's first two albums, Amorica has that feel and groove that pulls you into the music, Chris Robinson, the lead singer, has the soul on By: Bill Zasoba Paul Danninger ~ _,~~~m~ ... , I A1t1ieie6f1tleW 1st place for Ranger's~I :~~~;~::~~~~g Hase n]ag e r ~~:~t~:~":~:: Sayville, NY Major: Undecided Scott Fragale Mucker hei de .

P It was also announced Friday that Parkside's Wrestling coach Jim Koch was named the Midwest Regional Coach of the Year. "It's nice to see that I was respectedby my peers", said the long-time Ranger coach. No one is more deserving than Will VanAxen. Last Saturday, Vanaxen qualified for the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials. He acheived this with a personal best of nearly four minutes at the Monterrey, California. He also placed sixth in a time of one hour, 29 minutes, and 40 seconds narrowly missed qualifying him for the World Cup in Beijing, China (only the topfive go). VanAxen finished only 19 seconds behind the fifth place finisher, UW-P Grad Rob Cole.

Penn SI. shot 50% from the three point range and held off numerous rallies by the Badgers late in the game. Griffith had 18 points and Finley added 16. Wisconsin is now 12,9,6,6 in Big Ten. by Hans Weitkuhn A combination of hot shooting by Indiana Pur- Indianapolis and poor shooting by the Rangers resulted in an 97-84 loss for Parkside at Kenosha.

The Rangers are now 5-18, while Olivet Nazarene improved their record to 13-11. The Rangers were behind at the half 39-30, but were able to get back into the game when Maci Persteiner hit a 3-pointer with 35 seconds left giving the Rangers a 74-72 lead. Olivet's Stacey Mann then hit a shot in the lane with 5/IO's of a second left to send the game into overtime. Mann had 23 points in all, and teammate Rochelle Durbin added 20. Parkside did win the rebounding battle 52-43, but were outscored in the overtime period 13-10. Leading the way for the Rangers was Heather Bogenschneider with 23 points, Pernsteiner added 19, and minutes, including last Thursday's overtime loss to NAIA powerhouse, Olivet-Nazarene. The main reason the team has hung close in so many games is senior Maci Pemsteiner. She is unquestionably the leader of this ball Maci Pernsteiner club. After a solid freshman year, Pernsretner struggled as a sophomore. But consistent work habits have shifted the spotlight to her outstanding play. She leads the team in scoring (15.3), assists (3.6), steals (2:4), and minutes (31.4). Miller considers her a model athlete. "She's playing the best basketball of her career and is great for the young kids. They all look up to her," said Miller. An explosive first step, physical strength, and her 887 career points will make Pemsteiner hard to replace. "I've worked the same as I always have. I have to put myself in their [the freshmen's] place and remember what it was like," said Pemsteiner. "We had a growing year my freshman year too." And how would Pemsteiner like to finish her career? "I'd just like to look back with no regrets. Four years have come down to 4 games. I'll miss it a lot," she said. The team remains confident about their future. ~ "I think we have a lot of potential," added Kassing. "Each year we will get better and better, so by our 4th year we'll be a great team." Pemsteiner forecasts a bright future for the team as well. She added, "They've gained a lot of experience that can't be replaced-close games." Close games that will hopefully swing in their-favor next year. by Al Heppner It all started about four years ago. The Rangers had a full team and didn't recruit. Coach Wendy Miller knew she had her work cut out for her after last season's mostly senior learn finished a respectable 12414. W d M'II Miller brought in a big freshman en y I er class this year, ten to be exact. The "tough ten," despite their lack of size, have kept themselves in games with their strength and hustle. Their determination is not accurately reflected in their 5-18 record as most the losses were deceptively close. "We're not measuring success by our wen-toss record, but rather by how much improvement we've made," said Miller. "We've got a very good group of freshmen." A freshman group that is led by Jenny Kassing. Kassing, a two-time All-Northwest selection in high school, has led the team in 3-poinl shooting (38%), rebounding (7.S), and is second in scoring (13.2) and steals (1.9). "[Having ten freshmen] doesn't affect us, because we've grown together and learned each other's playing style," Kassing said. Kassing, however, does admit to the Ranger's troubles in the post. "We're weak in the post, so we've had problems boxing out. But we have strong players like Amy Hurlebaus. We make-up [for the weaknesses] with our power and speed," added Kassing. The team's post dilemma is no secret to Miller and she is on her way 10 filling the void. "We've been out-rebounded, especially at the end of garnes. But we have three post-players signed or verbally committed for next season," Miller said. The Rangers have been painfully close to winning games all season. Nine of their losses have come in the last two Heather Bogenschneider Kassing added 15 points and 11 rebounds. Rangers shocked by Northland Baptist The University of wisconsinParkside men's basketball team dropped a 80474 decision to Northland Baptist Bible College (NBBC) Friday night at the Physical Education Building on the UW-Parkside campus. The loss drops the Rangers to 12-12 on the season. UW-Parkside built a 14 point halftime lead, 43-29, and led by as many as 16 in the second half before NBBC began closing the gap. The score was 57-44 in the second half with I I :33 left in the game when NBBC went on a 14-0 run to lead 57- 58 with 7:25 left. The game was dose the rest of Ihe way with NBBC pulling away at the end by making their free throws. The Rangers were led by Levi Bradley who scored 26 points and hauled down 18 rebounds. Thadd Jacobs scored 19 and Craig Evans had 14 for the Rangers. No other UWMP player scored more than four points. NBBC closed the gap in the second half on the strength of 63% shooting while UW-P went cold shooting just 32% from the floor in the second half. The Rangers will next be in action this Sunday when they host IUPl]- Indianapolis at 1:30 pm. The game will be preceded by a ceremony honoring II-new rrrducreesrmo file Uw-Parkside Athletic Hall of Fame. THE MOST RECOGNIZED NAME In Case You Missed It IN PROFESSIONAL DRY CLEANING This last weekend he held on to win the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic in Indian Wells, Ca. No Joy in Mudville: No Baseball either. Talks in the baseball farce (I mean strike) mayor may not occur this week. In the meantime preparations continue for some sort of a season with men willing to play for other men who aren't. Detroit manager (for the time being) Sparky Anderson is refusing to manage the Tigers. He most likely will not have a job when the strike is over (assuming it ever is). Oriole owner Peter Angelos may lose his club because he refuses to field a team. Phillie Lenny Dykstra found out that speaking your mind does not count in the players union. Now he is sufficently supportative of his cry-baby brethren in the union. I hope when and if these prima donna's ever take to the diamond again they are roundly booed and hooted back into the dugout. My Head Aches: New attention is being paid to the rash of concussions that occured last year in the NFL. While no solid conclusions have been made, research continues into this problem. by C. 1. Nelson Miss Blair was a Bonnie Lass: Wisconsin's own Bonnie Blair put on a speed skating exhibtion in West Allis last weekend. She won all four of the races she was in. Bonnie Blair has won five olympic gold medals. This was her last speed skating appearance in the U. S. She will retire from competition after the World Cup finals next month in Calgary. Who's in First: Having both women's and men's basketball teams number one in the polls did not last long. Connecticut men were on the losing end of a 96- 73 score at home against Villanova. The result is that Kansas is now number one. Doing it Again: Sterling Marlin won his second consecutive Daytona 500 yesterday. He became the first back to back Daytona winner since Cale Yarborough turned the trick in 1983/84. Dale Earnhardt finished second continuing an 0 for 18 string in NASCAR's most prestigious race. Getting a Second Chance: Two weeks ago golfer Kenny Perry lost a three stroke lead and a tournament. • LEATHERS' WEDDING GOWNS' ETC. • ALL APPAREL & FABRICS' DRAPERIES Intramural Basketball Standings • FAST SHIRT SERVICE' PILLOW CLEANING • ALTERATIONS.

The Dramatic Arts Departmen t and the Division of Student Affai rs are working jOintly with a new campus group whose purpose is to foster understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity. Participants are trained in social action techniques and are involved in the development of skits illustrating real-life instances of discrimination or acts of insensitivity. Once developed into brief life-story skits, they will be presented to classes, student organizations, and community groups. Actor/audience interaction and facilitated discussion will help to heighten cultural awareness and understanding of cultural differences on campus. The Goals of Social Action: o To foster understanding and appreciation of cultural diversity o To strengthen the climate of respect and trust for all campus groups o To increase campus tolerance through education What Skills are Needed? Participants are not expected to be drama majors or experienced in theatre. All that is needed are a genuine willingness to become involved and a desire to make a positive difference. Participants will go through special training in all the techniques they will be expected to utilize in Social Action Theatre. In What Ways Can I Be Involved? , , There are several ways to become involved in Social Action Theatre. You may choose to assist in the writing of scripts and the development/training of a troupe of role players. Those interested in pertorming before groups may wish to become role players.
