SAC Expansion Ready for Student Use Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document SACExpansion Readv lor Student Use Afternearly two years of tom up landscapes, showers featuring cold and cold running water (sorry,no hot water in the build- ing today; this week!; this month!!), and dodging mud streams after rainstorms, UW- Parkside students are finally enjoyingthe benefits of the Sports and Activity Center (SAC)expan- sion. The new fieldhouse, class- rooms, dance studio, and fitness facilities-financed in part with student fees-are now open. The formalgrand opening takes place Friday,Sept. 29.

"Thisis a very active facility, espe- cially in the winter months," said UW-Parkside Athletic Director Lenny Klaver. "Thebuilding was in use from 5:30 in the morning until after midnight, closeto 1a.m. some- times. We had runners coming in during the morning, classes throughout the day, winter sports practices during the day and evening, intramural sports in the evening. For example, baseball and softball practice times were usually at 9 or 9:30at night. So the schedule is packed." Built For Students Although UW-Parkside athletic teams will benefit from the expan- sion, the primary focus of the new Petretti Fieldhouse will be individ- ual students. An inside look at the Perretti Fieldhouse "The building was built with stu- dents in mind-not how well our track teams run in there or how much space we're going to have for basketball or volleyball camps," Klaver stated. "It's for students; to expand their recreational opportuni- ties. Wewant to keep people on cam- JUS, gIve them more activities, and create a better balance between a healthy lifestyle, studying, and fun activities that are part of the college experience. " To help students build that healthy 'ifestyle, the Petretti Fieldhouse fea- tures 70,000 square feet of open recreation space. There isa 200meter walking /running track, and plenty of courts for basketball, volleyball, tennis, and other activities.

Foul Weather Fouls Residents' Monday Night by Brenda Dunham Lightning struck close to home the rainy night of Monday, Sept 11. How close? One report said a bolt touched down in the University Apartments volleyball courts, Just 25 feet from the buildings. According to resident Paul Nault, "The surges set off fire alarms in buildings two and four." Hollie Carpenter, building two resident assistant (RA), said all of the RAs were assembled in the core building for their weekly staff meeting. "The coni building alarm goes off whenever any building alarm goes off.. We followed procedure by findmg out which buildings had alarms going off, clearmg out the people in tliose buildings, and giving the 'okay' to go back in," she said, "The police are automatically dispatched. They figure out if they need to call the fire department and then go around to help reset the alarms." Carpenter said the lightning and rain made for an eventful birthday. "That's a birthday I won't forget. I got so wet, my pants are still drying two days later," She recalled. Carpenter, along with the rest of the RAs, was out in the storm from 9:30 to 10 p.m. The residents were outside as well. "Most of them crowded under the eaves or went into their cars," said Carpenter Eventually everyone got to go back to what they we~e doing, but Hollie said if there's anext time, "All residents should evacuate the building and as soon as we know everything is okay then we will let everyone back into the buildings." 2.

In addition to working with the faculty and staff, Crist also works with the Marketing and Communications departinent as well as Publications to promote the University in the community. "We have to promote ourselves; we have to market ourselves. I've seen it work at my previous institution, where by investing in good informational advertising and promotion, we were able to increase enrollment significantly, and change the image of the institution." When asked why some students leave UW-Parkside short of graduation or sooner, Crist responded: "Some students leave because they haven't done well and we hope that they come back. We will never give up on a student." Crist received both his undergraduate and post-graduate degrees from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and said he is happy to be back in Wisconsin. 6. Meet UW-' enrollment guru Alan Crist by Julie Thompson In an effort to increase enrollment and improve retention rates, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside created the new position of assistant vice-chancellor for Enrollment Management and then hired Alan Crist to fill it. Crist started at UWParkside in July after spending ten years at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) as associate vice chancellor and executive director for Enrollment Services. When asked why he came to Kenosha, Crist explained, "What really helped me make the decision to come to UWParkside is the vision Chancellor Keating has for the University; looking at the University as an engaged University and connecting with the community is something that means a lot to me in terms of where I think the University needs to be. Also looking at the other aspects of building a strong and quality diverse student population." Crist plans to use the strategies that worked at IUPUI here, tailoring them to meet the needs of UW-Parkside, in order to become more student AI Christ vice chancellor, Enrollment Management focused. His job includes looking at ways to help students get off to a good start by pulling together acade mic and student support services in order to eliminate barriers students sometimes face. To achieve this goal, he said he will be, "Bringing together the offices of admissions, financial aid, registrar, advising, and student academic support services, as well as working with other offices." He also will look at ways to decrease the obstacles that make it difficult for non-traditional students to return to school. His aim is to increase diversity atUW-Parkside at all levels. Crist believes building a strong sense of conununity between students, faculty, and staff is important for UW-Parkside. "The faculty and staff play an important role in both the recruitment as well as retention of students. Follow-up from a faculty member with a student who IS interested in a specific program can reall;, make a difference in that student s understanding in what is here. It is the faculty wfio spend the most time with the students,"he said. He added that he wants to "make Police Beat Visitor pulled out in front of an emrloy Investi~tion revealed damage inconsis ee who wastraveling in the traffic aisle, tent wi being struck by a car.

Soccer: men win twice, women tie once UW-Parkside soccer coach Rick Kilps and his goalie Thorn Peer probably didn't want to talk about shutouts after last week's wins over Rockhurst and Truman State. That might raise the specter of sports' least favorite four-letter word: jinx. Jinx or no, the men's squad beat Rockhurst on Saturday, Sept. 9, by a score of 2-0. They carne back the next day and beat Truman State-the fourth ranked team in the nation-on Sunday, Sept. 10, by a score of 2-0. That gave the Rangers a perfect 5-0 record for the year. And during those five garnes, Peer and his teammates have not surrendered a goal. Not one! The team's composite score is 16 for and 0 against. The record was good enough for a ranking of 15th in the nation and fourth in the region. The women's soccer team took a 3 and 0 record into their game with Wmona State on Saturday, Sept. 9.

Bridge" set --.---.---.--~ 3.Harris'·magic creates " The first stage. of building a set st~rts ':'lith an artists concept, Keith crew then beg onto shape the set, onthis case a house in New York. Anyone who has attended a play at UW-Parkside in the last 16 years has witnessed some of the uruque and complex set designs Keith Harris has created. Harris is currently working on the Drama Department's fall production of Arthur Miller's" A View From the Bridge." Keith attended the University of Kansas, where he earned an M.F.A. in Scenic Design. He intended to go into acting, but changed his major to design scenery several years into college. He has worked here at UW-Parkside for the past 16 years, usually designing two to three; sets of scenery a school year for each Drama Department show. Harris and his Drawing up the plans for a set is not something that Can be done m a few days. Depending on the project, it takes from four to five months to draw up plans. After reading over the script numerous times, researching the play, and talking with the directors and his staff, Harris goes to the drawing board. For this current play, "A View From the Bridge," he started talking about ideas with the directors at the end of last semester. He designed it around early July, and started building it about two weeks before this semester began. The set should be completed by midOctober. The play will run the last two weekends of October. Many of the materials used in building a set are not used as the manufacturer intended. For instance, Keith has used basics like plywood and paneling materials, along with Styrofoam insulation and bug sprayers for painting. When working on a set, he finds good uses for things people normally wouldn't think of as materials used on stage. Keith receives help from some of the cast members, stage crew, and from people who have nothing to do with the Dramatic Arts Department. So students taking classes for college credit, are eligible to work on productions. Between his duties here and his family, Harris doesn't have a lot of time to work on scenery outside of the University. Although he has done repertory work and set painting in the past for The Fireside Dinner Theater in Ft.Atkinson, he hasn't done any movies or Broadway shows. However, some of his former students have. It is his hope that more of his students succeed to that level. "Keith has been our rock, He's creative, timely, a fine designer and an indispensable member of our team," said Dramatic Arts Professor Skelly Warren. "He's the link which holds our department together. He's been a colleague and friend for 18 years, and I couldn't picture this department without him and his dedication. 'A ViewFrom the Bridge' is just another outstanding design from a person who puts only his best forward. He and his work are irreplaceable. His work always pulls out the best in others as well."

For incoming freshman, and even for those who are returning to UWParkside, it is always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the rules and regulations on campus to optimize your personal safety. Freshman entering the university straight out of high school should especially take notice of the university's policies on drinking and drug use. No drinking under the age of 21 is tolerated anywhere on campus, and anyone serving, or buying alcohol for minors is legally liable as well. All women on campus should be aware that date rape drugs are known to be circulating around southeastern Wisconsin and may already be on this campus. Always keep a close -eye on anything you are consuming, and don't accept anything that you are not sure of. Schlecht strongly reiterates, "Students have to partake in the responsibility of their own safety." The Parkside police are more than happy to assist students with any questions or concerns they may have at any time. If you are in need of immediate assistance on campus call 2911.Even if you are unable to speak, the officerscan tell where the call is coming from. Additionally, call boxes are located in parking lots. Otherwise, all non-emergencies situation can referred to 595- 2455. Officers are available to the students and staff 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A great way to learn more about the Chapter 18 policies on campus, fines, and other services offered by the police is to go to their web site at www.uwp.edu/admin/university.poli ceo It's very informative and well worth the look. Students can also drop in anytime at Tallent hall to pick up helpful brochures about social issues such as domestic violence, drinking, etc. Officer Schlecht wants students with questions to call" even when they don't think that we'll have the answers. If we can't answer something then we will do our best to find someone who will." SAC Effects on Community By Zach Robertson As many UW-Parkside students know the new Sports & Activity Center (SAc) ?ffers many experiences not available in the past. What many do not know is w~~ UW-Parkside will use the new facilityto open Its doors to the community UW-Parkslde plans to make the facility .available to the public by selling facility use memberships and by makmg the facility available for rentals. Rentals at the SAC include the fieldhouse, meeting rooms, and the pool. According to Athletic Director Dr. Lenny Klaver the community has already shown quite a bit of interest. Rentals have already been put into place for bridal shows, volleyball tournaments, use of the pool, and preliminary possibilities for the Kenosha Expo. The number of facility use memberships has also increased because of the new Wellness Center and weight room. W,th all of the activity in the SAC some students wonder if this will interfere with their use of the facility. "The new facility was designed and will be operated for students first," said Dr. Klaver. Much has been said about the increase in membership fees. "The reason we need to charge for memberships is that we have an obligation to support 20% of the operating costs of the buildin~", said Klaver, By making the facility available through rentals and memberships the University will be able to support the increased operating costs of the new $12.3 million building. Dr. Klaver said a committee worked on pricing for the rental and membership prices by doing research with other Universities to come up with the fee structure. UW-Parkside also plans on advertising the new facility to prospective renters and members through the use of newspaper ads and articles, as well as mailers. By advertising the SAC more people will be exposed to the universities programs and its students. "The oniy drawback I can possibly see is that demand might be so heavy that we are going to have to limit the number of people who can join the facility. But again with the facility being primarily for student use that's were the emphasis should be," Klaver said.

Health care meeting at uw-, As part of its Engaged University effort, UW-Parkside was the site of a Community Health Care Initiatives meeting Sept. 20. The program, jointly sponsored by the United Auto Workers (UAW) and DaimlerChrysler, took placein the Com Arts Theatre. Both the UAW and DaimlerChrysler haveexpressedconcern about the qualit,Y and cost effectiveness of the region s healthcare delivery system. To address theseconcerns, the union and company invitedcommunity members and businesses,health care professionals, hospitals to attend. They are asking these groups to work with them to assure high quality health care services and improve the quality of life throughout southeastern Wisconsin. To gauge the region's health care environment and delivery system, the Lewin Group, a company specializing in health care consultation, will survey the local health care market and compare it to other cities. From the resultmg data, problems will be identified, action groups will be formed, and their suggestions will then be rolled out to the community. DaimlerChrysler's Gerry Wade said this is the seventh initiative his company and the UAW have made since 1994. Survey result are expected to be available in six months. GerryWade, DiamlerChrysler, announces a survey of 10c~1health care delivery s.ystemsduring a program held at UW Parkside.

Jamie Freeman President Protem pore Shana Hopkins Public Relations Director Kara Norton Diversity Director A Commitment to Diversit, by Gino Ciardo The University of Wisconsin-Parkside beat out 27 state agencies and UW campuses to earn the first Annual Diversity Award. The Department of Employment Relations and the Council on Affirmative Action cited UWParkside for achievement in "recruitment, planning and diversity hiring." Herbert Pitts, assistant to the chancellor of Equity and Diversity asserts, "None of this would have been done without the cooperation of the provost, the chancellor, the deans, the chairs of the departments, the directors and the managers here. Achieving diversity goals IS a delicate ballet, and if you do not conduct the dance properly with the other individuals who are your dance partners, you will achieve nothing. All the things we accomplish, we accomplish as a UW-Parkside team." According to UW-Parkside's letter of application, 12.9% of the university's work force (full- and part-time) were minorities as of October 1999. Between June 1999 and May 2000, 40 minority employees were hired constituting 21.97% of all hires in that time frame. At the same time, UW-Parkside reported 17% of the student body were minorities as of August 2000. "It was a situation where we were increasing our enrollment of minority students, but our work force was not reflecting that increase or the demographics that are taking place in the surrounding area," Pitts comments. In order to increase the number of minorities employed at UW-Parkside, several steps were taken to make the university available to more applicants. UW-Parkside placed ads in ethnic and minority publications, s.ent out bulk mailing shells introducing the school and announcing job opportunities,' advertised vacancies on national career websites and collected business cards at career expos. Pitts explains, "In a tight employment market you have to become more creative. Our big push this year is going to be campus climate. Wecannot continue recruiting people if we cannot keep people. We have to retain people'Iromote people, tenure people, an in order to do that we have to make sure that the atmosphere here is conducive to people of diverse backgrounds." He added, "If we are educated to think that the world consists only of people who look like us, then we are being educated to fail. It is impossible to get a good education without beinl7 exposed to the diversity of the world. Diversity hiring is also Goal 5 of the UW-Parkside Plan 2008, which concentrates on combining diversity and the curriculum in order to improve the learning environment. The award will be presented on October 12 at the Pyle Center in Madison. r Police Beat 09/15/00 Incident #00-687: Fire Alarm, Greenquist Hall, 12:59 a.m., officers responding to an alarm found no smoke or fire, Alarm was reset and officers cleared.

America's place in it. Axtell, a Kenosha native, has been on ABC's "Good Morning America", NBC's "Today Show," and several CNN news programs. New Yorker described him as "an international Emily Post." At the luncheon, he humorously covered some of the highlights from his latest book in The Do's and Taboos series, which outline proper behavior, gestures and body language rrotocol for business people who trave abroad. Axtell points out that people traveling to foreign countries need to become aware of others' cultural customs. This is in-order to prevent unintentionally insulting those that they wish to do serious business with. "It's a big world out there. We as Americans have two problems that lead to miscommunication. The first is that our culture is deal focused 'time is money' ... much of the rest of the world is relationship focused. They want to get to know you, trust you. The second problem is that we are ethnocentric. We think that the world goes right down through the United States, and the world revolves around us.We do things without realizing it, and. our awareness needs to be sha;'per." Things like firm handshakes, looking someone in the eyes, or using a first name are construed as rude and disturbing behavior in other countries. One comedic example of how cultures are different that Axtell likes to tell is the story about hygiene, which he points out, is perceived differently all of over the world. He tells us, "As Americans we like to think that we rank very high when it comes to hygiene ... but I was in a country one time where they spit a lot. Very common, spit in the streets, spit in their offices, even blew their noses out that way [with no tissue]. "We say, 'That's repulsive, that's terrible, spreading all those germs around'. But,not to them, [they see this as1 very hygtemc because they are nddin!? the body of a bodily waste. Th7 said to me, 'Well what do you do? I said, 'Well for goodness sake, I carry a hanker-chief .. , I blow my nose carefully like this.' They asked, 'Then what?' I said 'Well, then I put it back in my pocket.' They said 'You mean you carry it around with you all day long!?'" Many students from Parkside will one day travel abroad for work, or will have to work with foreign business people on American soil. Either way, students should begin to prepare them- . selves for the challenges of communicating successfully in the new global village of tomorrow. "Wehave to get to know and appreciate other people," says Axtell. The best way to do this is to t~ke advantage of the rambow of activities that Parkside is always offering for free or a minimal fee. Not all learning takes place in a lecture hall, and luncheons like this one are a fine example of a fun way for students to enhance their global communication skills. Incident #00-694: Agency Assist, 56th Ave. and Green Bay Road, 9:07 p.m., Kenosha Joint Services requested UPPS officers meeta housing resident regardmg a vehicle hit and run complaint, Investigation determined accident occurred off campus so Kenosha Sheriff Dept. was contacted to handle the incident.

Many people have discovered that public dialo/?Ue about race is an important step in combating problems of prejudice associated with race. Study Circles call for a dialogue about race that help everyday people examine racism and race relations and work together to make progress on these issues. Thegroup provides an opportunity for people to get to know one another, listen to different experiences and points of view, delve into disagreements, and discover common ground. The group looks at social issues and discusses ways to take action to chan~e these issues. Roseann Mason, who introduced this nationwide program to Parkside stated, "It's important for people to know that we're not just discussing problems. We actually move from diafogue, to action, to change." With thousands of pearle working together devising practical actions and strategies to promote change, a positive world may be in our future. Mason also pointed out that students get a chance to connect with people they don't normally connect with through study circles. Last year, a !\"oup worked with homeless people inRacine, breaking through the lines of classism and working together to solve an on-going problem. Mason likes t? describe study circles as the oppostte of hate groups, "We are peace groups promoting peace." Study Circles are not limited to only student participation, all faculty and staff-are encouraged to be involved in the dialogues. Study Circles consist of small groups of only 8 to 12 participants. At tile last meeting there were four professors among those in the dialogue. Community members are also involved as the study circles prepare for their Community Kickoffs. StUdy Circle kick· off Sunday Oct. 1, 4 to 6 p.m., Union Dining Room. All students are urged to attend. Last February, over 100 community members drove in blizzard-like weather conditions to join the Kickoff. This year, the group invites students and area residents to their kick-off program this Sunday, Oct. 1. The prgram will be held in the Union Dining Room from 4 to 6 p.m. They leave on the weekend of October 20-22 for their retreat in Madison. There are two meeting times for those who are interested: Mondays 7-9 .p.m. in Moln 111and Tuesdays 8-10 p.m. in Ranger Ha}l47.

Foreign Film Review The Parkside Foreign Film Series started on September 14. The series, which will last till April 29, will show 14 of the best international movies around. For people-who missed the first and get to the Union Cinema for this one: PHRPA (THE CUP) (Oct. 5-8) The Cup, the first feature length film ever to be made in Bhutan, is delightfully innocent. Inspired by true events, The Cup is the story of an Indian monastery housing children with assorted international roots. Awaiting the two new arrivals to the monastery is Orygen, a self-confident and adventurous 14- year-old monk. Orygen has his own little near-religious cuIt that is celebrating its holiest of events which onIy occurs once every four years: The World Cup of soccer. Soon the children find themselves in a bind when they are caught sneaking out to watch part of the tournament one night and are threatened with expulsion should they ever do so again. But the crafty Orygen wouldn't let the approaching final match pass by without his audience, and soon a surprisingly innocent plot is hatched. (Bhutan 2(00) Director: Corrante. 93 min. ' Here are some excerpts from a review of "The Cup" written by James Berardinelli: "In addition to being charming and uplifting, 'The Cup' possesses an undeniable sense of verisimilitude, and many of the j'erformances are so unaffected tha tit s difficult to believe the men giving them aren't professional actors. 'The Cup' is sure to be a crowd-pleaser," If Iwere you, Iwould buy a season ticket right now, because the films are a very ruce getaway from Hollywood and the like.

A UW-Parkside graduate, Tenuta said after spending his college years in Molinaro and Greenquist Halls, it was "An unbelievable feeling to have a 'Tenuta Hall.:" He added, "This dedication validates one of the things that I truly believe: Do things that make a positive difference. People will remember you and the rest will follow." Parkside Student Government Association President Joe Rucker also spoke during the ceremony. He thanked Chancellor Keating and Governor Thompson for having the vision to construct this much needed facility. "We are so thankful," said Linda Draft the University's associate athletic director. "Let the games begin!" Information Technology Practice Center open for business By Sarah Olsen UW-Parkside opened a new laboratory on Thursday, Sept. 28, that will give students an advantage over undergraduates from many other universities. The Information Technology Practice Center (ITPC) gives students hands-on experience with current technology and employment possibilities with some of the nation's top Fortune 500 companies. The ITPC began with the vision of a former UW-Parkside student, Cory Mason, who is now the ClO (the highest position in MIS) for Harley Davidson. Mason teamed up with Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Professional (a division of Johnson Wax), the former dean, and faculty members within the Business programs to turn his vision into a reality. Information technology is a profession that is less than 20 years old and has an unusually high demand for skilled, qualified graduates in Management Information Systems (MIS) and computer science. "Information technology involves the computers, the hardware, the software, and the telecommunication networking infrastructure that supports a business. In its simplest form, information technology is built by computer science and MIS uses the technology to solve a business problem" said Dirk Baldwin, associate professor of MIS. The benefits of the ITPC are multifaceted: first, the students learn how to solve business problems through technology, the faculty keeps up-to-date See ITPC, Page 6 Ins ide 3 Welcome to Beijing Professors Wang and Olsen lead local teachers on a month-long exploration of China. 4 Take a walk in the PARC,find help Need help with a subject, any subject?

UW-Parkside librarv can be more than just books By Gina Ciardo The UW-Parkside library can be used for more than just research, quiet studying, and, as some students would prefer, napping. The Friends on the UWParkside Library offers students a variety of interesting activities this semester. Tonight, students can listen to a lecture given by Richard Thieme titled "Technology and justice." Thieme is the 35th recipient of the Gameliel Chair in Peace and justice from UWMilwaukee. In addition, he is a graduate of Northwestern University and the University of Chicago where he earned a degree in English Literature. On Thursday Oct. 12, the library will host the BadWater Book Invitational. Artists from all over the United States have submitted their works for this exhibition. Max Yela, the Special Collections Librarian at the UW-Milwaukee Golda Meir Library will be speaking. The artist's books are currently on display in glass cases just inside the entrance to the library. From Nov. 15 through 17, the Friends of the Library will hold its annual book sale (9-5 Wednesday and Thursday, 9-12 Friday). Books will range in price from $1 to $1.50. The money goes to the Friends of the UWP prols. lead China lour By julie Thompson While some of us were busy working or relaxing on the beach this past summer, UW-Parkside professors Dwayne Olsen and George (Xun) Wang, along with teachers from Kenosha, Racine and Burlington, four of whom are UWParkside alumni, went on a month-long study tour of China in july. When reflecting on the purpose of the trip, Professor Olsen said, "The purpose was to have them write curriculum dealing with China. Our idea was that as a result of this experience [teachers] would write a more accurate curriculum and they would interpret China more accurately to their students as opposed to presenting distortions or stereotypes." Although the trip mainly served area school districts, UW-Parkside students will benefit as well. "My students that I'm teaching to be teachers of social studies, benefit from my having had this experience, and being able to talk more authoritatively about another culture, and culture is a major concept in social studies. Hopefully, 1 will do a better job in preparing these people as social studies teachers, so they will go beyond themselves, so they will see the diversity that they have within their own classrooms." Besides benefiting UW-Parkside and other area students, the trip reflects nicely on the University. The group was featured in newspapers in Racine and Kenosha, and interviewed tluee times by WGTD. However, their presence didn't go unnoticed in China, as they had the honor of being featured in two newspaper articles and one television news report. Professor Wang stated, "We met UW-Parkside Professor George Wang, second from right, meets with Chinese education officials including Chief of the Education Department, Jiang Zhou, left, and Jiang Zhelin, sister of the Chinese President Jiang Zemln, second from left. Library. In past years, the organziation has purchased things like the book drop outside the library. This year, the board is funding the soon-to-be Friends Reading Room which for the moment is the sectioned area behind the atlases on the library's main floor. Comfortable sofas will be arriving at the end of Oct. and the room will be fully functional for the spring semester. Students will be invited to bring in snacks and relax. . Dina Kaye, an academic librarian and the library liaison to the Friends of the Library Board comments, "We get a lot of community people not only on the board, but also who come to these. [events]. It would be great to see a lot more students and campus people." Other activities include a lecture given by Professor Dan Taylor from Lawrence University titled "The Olympic Games, 776 BC to AD 2000," a debate about the presidential election on Nov. 2, and a lecture titled "Making of the Medieval Illuminated Manuscript" given by Professor Michael Orr, Ph.D. of Lawrence University, on Nov. 30. . Aside from the book sale, all activities will be held in the Overlook Lounge (Level 2 of the Library) at 7 p.m. Tour group in front of the Palace Museum: (bottom row from left to right) Steve Benkert, Wilma Dunn,Jennifer Gemignani, Sandra Barry; (top row) Tim DeGroot, Debbie Bornhuetter, Prof. George (Xun) Wang, Paul Prozanski, Ellen Hiatt, Paul Heynes, Sue Roth, Sharon Kelley, Prof. Dwayne Olsen, Mary aln (tour guide) many school teachers and university professors in China, and so it enhanced our public image internationally as well." A highlight of the trip was when the group was able to meet the sister of President jiang Zemin while visiting Shimin International School. Additionally, Professor Wang received e-mail from members 01 Parkside administration. "They all praised our work, our project, they thought it was a great project to enhance the image of UWParkside." The trip was made possible due to the joint effort of Professor Olsen and Professor Wang. Together they prepared the proposal for the Fulbright-Hughes grant, but securing the grant isn't as easy as one would imagine. "This is a national competition," Professor Wang said. "This is not just money you can grab without any effort; this is a collective effort by us. Every school has the opportunity, not only universities, but non-profit organizations, high schools and middle schools can also apply for the grant." Now Professors Wang and Olsen are looking for at least one or maybe more students who can teach conversational English. Professor Wang said, "It doesn't have to be an English major, just someone who is willing to teach English as a second language for five months in China." Those who are interested should contact Professor Wang in the Sociology Department at 595-2180, or Professor Dwayne Olsen in the Teacher Education Department at 595·2177. Student Voices . This week's question: Are you going to Kristin Ovef Yes. I think everyone should vote because not enough people do, and every opinion counts. A Walll·in the PARC By Sheree Homer Did you fail the last test in history and are now afraid of failing the course? There is no need to fear, as there is help. Tutoring is available free to all UWP students. According to the Parkside Academic Resource Center (PARC), tutoring is similar to supplemental instruction as it is used as a guide and aid to the classroom. Every year, alumni donate money to PARe. PARC is located in Wyllie Hall D180 near the bookstore. Students can receive help at any level with any academic problem that they might have. Last semester, Claudia Calel Easterling I have to vote because it's my opinion. As far as my choice is concerned, I have to. It's a must. Villalba received help in writing for English and received a better grade for it. She went from a B to an A. Another student, Karen Malonee has been to PARC on numerous occasions. She received help in both writing and theatre makeup. Writing help allowed her to organize her thoughts more clearly, while the help received in theatre makeup got her a better grade. She went from a C+ to a B+. Writing·and math help is provided on a walk-in basis. Specialized areas, such as biology or French are made by appointment. Students should come well prepared to PARC and ready to explain their problems. This way the tutors will know how best to help. The normal tutoring session is 50 to 60 minutes. vote? Rachael Carlson I'm not much into politics, but I probably will end up voting because it's important that you give your . opinion. If you don't vote, your opinion won't be heard. Each student is allowed a maximum of two hours per week, unless other arrangements have been made with the PARC coordinator, [aci HaleyRenaud. Tutors are used as a guide to help the students understand their problem, but they are not there to do the work for them. They also do not determine the grade the student receives. Students have the responsibility of attending classes, taking good notes, and attempting to do the homework as well as studying in order to do well on tests. Attendance is mandatory at the tutorials, unless there is an emergency. Ifthis occurs, students should then call 595-2044 a couple hours before their appointment so the tutor SAAC getting. involved with students, community By Zach Robertson Many of the students and faculty at UW-Parkside have no idea what the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC)is or what the organization does. But this year the SAAC hoping to change all of that. SAAC is a group of student-athletes who have been selected by their coach and the Athletic Director Dr. Lenny Klaver to represent their teams at weekly meetings. SAAC has two main duties: one is to be a voice for the student-athletes and the other is to implement service projects that involve the community and students at UW-Parkside. Student-athletes can bring any problems they might be having with coaches or players. They can also express any opinions they have on facility operations or other matters. Some of the community projects the SAAC will take on this year include a Thanksgiving food drive, a inter-athlete carnival, and fund raising efforts for a UW-Parkside student-athlete awards banquet. "One of our service projects at this point is the can food drive," said SAAC President Brian Coffman. "What we are going to do is have people be able to use can foods as a way of admission into UWParkside athletic events. By combining the efforts of all the sports teams we will, hopefully, have a large amount of donations to give to the homeless shelter and hospice before Thanksgiving." Furthermore, the SAAC wants to increase student and community involvement at UW-Parkside athletic events. "One of our goals this year is to get more students who live on campus to attend athletic events, possibly by doing giveaways at some of the games. We also need to start branching out into the community, which is tough because we've never really had that before," said Coffman. One of the objectives of the SAAC this year is to make the organization more visible on campus. It would like the opportunity to work with other campus organizations. "By working with student government and other groups on campus we will, hopefully, get our name out and get some support from different organizations, as well as our organization supporting theirs," said Coffman. SAAC members ask any organization or anyone who would like to help SAAC in organizing service projects to e-mail SAAC President Brian Coffman at coffmOOO@Uwp.edu Ivan Socava Yes, I'm going to vote just because it's important to get your views across, even if [your candidate] doesn't win. Get your voice out. can be notified. If a student misses two scheduled appointments, they can no longer be tutored due to others on a waiting list. Haley-Renaud says that the writing and math help is used the most. Math help is requested the most often because it requires extra attention. As for writing, Haley-Renaud says "I am pleased to discover that students are using our writing area for papers that are assigned in aU academic areas whereas in the past, it was evident students only looked at writing as part of an English assignment." Anyone who needs help with- brainstorming, grammar, editing, developing a rough draft, or proofreading, feel free to stop by PARC and ask for help. i.UWP 10 hOSI Russ Johnson's The Olher Quanel OCI. 10 Called a jazz/improvisational group, The Other Quartet defies pigeonholing by mixing original compositions with interpretations of works by composers like Igor Stravinsky and Anton Bruckner. This unusual combination prompted Marke Andrews of the Vancouver Sun to say they "Have a fresh approach that makes you wonder why more jazz groups don't sound this good." Andrews said The Other Quartet brings structure and improvisation together "for a happy marriage." Along with Johnson, who is a Racine native, the other members of The Other Quartet are Ohad Talmor on saxophone, Jim Hershman on guitar, and Michael Sarin on drums. While reviewing the band's CD "13 Pieces," [azziz magazine called the composing and arranging by Johnson and Talmor "consistently fresh and skillful" adding "There's a good chance Johnson will be one of the next important cats on trumpet."

Students must enroll in a one credit course to be eligible for the trip. The class will meet Tuesdays, Feb. 13 through March 27 from 5 to 7:30 p.m. Students do not have to be dramatic arts majors, therefore, anyone can attend. Once the class work is completed, the students are off to New York. This trip has been held for the past 19 years, and past participants say everyone who attends really seems to enjoy it. The group attends four theaterical productions ranging from comedies and dramas, to musicals, and off-Broadway shows. This is the only time the group is together as a whole. The rest of the time is generally spent sightseeing or experiencing the many things that New York has to offer. "This is an incredible trip," said Theatre Manager Keith Harris. "I've gone three times, and each time had its own distinctive flavor to it," Betsy Hurlbut, who won a scholarship that paid for her trip three years ago, echoes Harris' sentiments. "It really is a wonderful experience:' said Hurlbut. "It was well worth the time and money." "1 heard about this trip freshman year, and I've been looking forward to going," said this year's scholarship winner Steve Sorenson. "Everyone who has gone really loved the trip. They loved just being there and experiencing New York." Fees for the trip are $795 for quad rooms, $1,020 for triple rooms, $1,100 for twin/ double rooms, and $1,600 for single rooms. This includes round-trip airfare on Midwest Express, ground transportation to the Hotel Edison for seven nights, four theatre tickets, guest speakers, and a $25 tax deductible contribution to the Thomas Newman Memorial New York Scholarship fund. Space is limited, especially for quad rooms, so a non-refundable deposit of $150 is required as soon as possible to guarantee the airline seats. Students have until October 16 to sign up. Deposits, including address and phone number, can be dropped off at the Dramatic Arts Office between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or they can be mailed to: Louise Jones, UW-Parkside Dramatic Arts Office, CA 221, 900 Wood Rd.

The annual event focuses on recruiting an assortment of top students from schools across southeastern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. These students, numbering roughly 125-150 youths, are all young females from primarily Racine, Kenosha, and Zion, Illinois. However, the program extends to all public, private, and rural schools. In the past, Parkside has accepted only eighth grade students. This year, a selection of seventh graders were invited to enjoy the guest speakers and hands-on career experience as well. Margaret M. Gename, head of Youth Programs at the Center for Community Partnerships, invited female Parkside students to the field day every year to raise the awareness in young females about math, science, and technology studies. "Studies show that by eighth grade females drop in math, science, and technology. Young females end up lacking math, science, and technology from a loss of interest, a fear of difficulty, or even intimidation from peers," states Gename. These guest speakers share their experience with the children to help the program grow and become more interactive, thus raising its influential possibilities. Also involved in the event are about twenty Parkside professors lending their skills and knowledge in experimental hands-on labs with the children. These labs include biology, engineering, health care, physics, nursing, teacher education, and others, which are all being taught by our certified faculty. People such as Frances Kavenik on women studies, Susan Haller and Timothy Fossum on computer science, Paul Boyer on science and technological education, Alma Renish on science, and Penny Lyter on health/weliness. Basic high school science studies are also focused upon by Ben Greenebaum on physics, Esther Wilson and Randy McKey on anatomy, Daphne Pham on molecular biology, and Gary Wood on chemistry. In August, for the effort Parkside put into this program, the 11th annual Women in Math, Science, and Technology Day received the 2000 Equity Initiative Award for motivating young females. It was awarded by the American Association of University WomenWisconsin for excellence in achievement by not only school staff, but especially young females. The program received financial help once again this year from Allegiance HeaIthcare and Dairyland Greyhound Park, respectively. If you have any questions or wish to make a donation to the Women in Math, Science, and Technology Day, contact Margaret M. Gename at (262) 595-2309 in the Talent Hall. To all that inquire or sponsor this program's purpose, the Office of Youth Programs appreciates your help for next year's Math, Science, and Technology Day set for April 6, 2001. -----------=~~. 09-24-00 Inc 00-705 Theft from Motor Vehicle, South SAC lot, 12:26 a.m.; three students reported their cars damaged and items stolen while parked in the lot.

Officer responding Yarbrough appointed police chief Police Beat By Lisa Whitcomb New UW-Parkside police chief Dexter Yarbrough arrived on campus Sept. 21, just in time for the autumnal equinox, and like the seasons, UWParkside's new police chief will soon be changing the ways of campus policing. Yarbrough comes to UW-Parkside from Chicago with an impressive background . in law enforcement, ranging from community policing liaison and tactical team member, to police recruit instructor. Yarbrough even spent five years as an Executive Protection Specialist at Harpo Studios. The new chief has received many awards throughout his career for his exceptional policing skills, and he continues to serve as a featured speaker at many community functions addressing the ideas of community policing. He was also recognized in Face Fonoard: Young AfricanAmerican Men in a Critical Age. Coming to UW-Parkside presents Yarbrough with new perspectives and professional challenges. He is looking forward to implementing a new community-policing program around campus. The campus police plan to become more "student oriented" by walking through University buildings and around the grounds, so that they are more accessible to students' needs. Yarbrough wants to focus less on street patrol, and more on programs that will benefit the safety of the students. Programs such as assault prevention and educating students on the pitfalls of driving while intoxicated. To ensure the success of these programs, Yarbrough wants more organizaNew UW-Parkside police chief Dexter Yarbrough, left, gets some advice from outgoing chief John Ernst. Yarbrough, a veteran at the Chicago Police Department, began his duties here Sept. 21 tions like the Parkside Student Government Association and the WOI)lyns' Center to sponsor and promote safety programs in conjunction with the police. "I want to ensure that the community understands that public safety is not just a concern of the police, but that it is a shared concern of all University community members," Yarbrough said. "Crime prevention, public safety, and problem resolution are essential goals that all of us must share in order to have a safe campus environment." If your club or organization is interested in sponsoring a safety program with the police, call Yarbrough at ext. 2455. Yarbrough says that his most important job will be to ensure the safety of the University community, and he will do this by setting the tone for his department, so that his department's goals fit in with the overall mission of the University. Yarbrough wants the student body and faculty to know that "I am a capable, high-energy administrator, and I will always expect that my officers will give the best service possible to the University community." to the location found a fire had been extinguished.

Students who train at the ITPC will have an advantage with companies such as Harley-Davidson because Harley only recruits information systems graduates from UW-Parkside- and UW· Whitewater. Students who are not majoring in MIS or computer science may also benefit from the ITPC. "Our vision is not totally computer science or MIS oriented. I think we would like to be broader than that" says Professor Baldwin. Baldwin would like to see students from the graphic arts program work with student teams on potential projects such as web design and for English students to perhaps produce a pamphlet using technical writing documentation.

Afterward, they may have wished they had stayed on the road Coach Melissa Wolter's team earned a split of two matches played away from home Sept. 22 and Sept. 23. On Friday, the Rangers were swept, three games to none at Southern Indiana. They rebounded on Saturday, winning at Southern Illinois-Edwardsville, three games to two. ., It seemed that everything from the , elements to the opponents were stacked ; against UW-Parkside's soccer teams on I Friday,Sept. 22 and Sunday, Sept. 24.

Shortly after the second delay, I Southern Indiana broke a scoreless 'I deadlock and eventually won 1-0. There · was barely enough daylight to complete I the contest. The women's game was postponed. I On Sunday, things got even worse. I True,the weather was better, but so was Southern Illinois UniversityEdwardsville. SIU-E's men's and I women's teams shut down the offenses of UW-Parkside's teams and left town with identical 2-0 wins. Both teams traveled to Missouri-St. I Louis on Friday, Sept. 29, and found the · Gateway.city to their liking. The men, led by the shutout goaltending of Thorn Peer and goals by St. Louis-area native I Raymond james, along with Dan de St. Aubin and Mike Samer, polished off UMSL3-0. In the women's game, Lorrie jones and Bryanna jurvis each scored twice to The Rangers were unable to repeat that success at home. On Friday, Sept. 29, Northern Kentucky, which advanced to the NCAA Division II Final Four last year, swept UWParkside 15-5, 15-6, and 15-10. NKU was 12 and 2 overall and is a perfect 6- o in the GLVC. On Saturday, Sept. 30, despite good play by Amy Reilly and Angela Zoiss, the University of Indianapolis beat UW-Parkside 15-9, 15-0, 5-15, and 15- 12. Reilly had d.Z kills and Zoiss contributed 18 digs in a losing cause. The loss dropped UW-Parkside to 4 and 13 overall and 2 and 4 in the conference. Bryanna Jurvis, above, and Lorrie Jones both scored twice against UMSL lead the Rangers to a 4-2 win. The teams were in Quincy, Ill. on Sunday, Oct. 1 and came away with mixed results. The men rode the shutout goaltending (again!) of Thorn Peer and scored off the feet of Andrew Nijoka, Andres Cerritos, and jeff Hines for a 3-0 win. In the women's game, Lorrie jones again scored twice and UW-Parkside out-shot Quincy 23 to 12 but lost 3-2.

The University of WisconsinParkside invites area art lovers, animal fanciers, and the curious to a most unusual-and visual- of "zoological" displays: David Holmes' Mystical Mechanical Menagerie. The sculptures, created during Holmes' recent sabbatical, will be displayed in the Communication Arts Gallery now through Thursday, Nov. 2. Admission to the exhibition is free. Holmes said this collection of oddly formed" animals" appears to be part of a circus sideshow gone terribly wrong. "For ages we have selectively bred and crossbred animals until we converted them into the most acceptable archetype attainable circumventing the laws of natural selection," said Holmes. "What will the next step be?" His vision of the "next step" is the combination of the animal and the mechanical. These "new" beasts of servitude emerge as Frankenstein-like creatures, a jumble of flesh and chrome. The affect is an arresting array of beasts that at-once frighten and amuse. "While the purpose of the Menagerie is to confront the audience with what we have done to our fellow creatures, I have attempted to empha, size a more humorous approach to the issue." Holmes stated. The Mystical Mechanical Menagerie by David Holmes is open to the public. Gallery hours are Monday and Thursday, 11am toSp.m, Tuesday and Wednesday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. The gallery is closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

According to the study, students who graduated with debt from the university in 1999had an average debt of $7,725 per student. The University of St. Francis in Indiana was ranked first with an average debt of $3,216 per student among its graduates who incurred debt. Chicago State University, on the other hand, had the most debt. Fifty percent of their students graduated with a debt of $23,000. In addition to low debt, 57% of Parkside's students were debt free. Again, the University of St. Francis was ranked first, only 5% of their students were without debt. In fact, of the five universities ranked for low debt in the Midwest, only Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan had more students debt free, 65%. When U.s. News and World Report compiled the information, they took into account loans taken out by students from the colleges themselves, from financial institutions, and from federal, state, and local governments. For Parkside students, this primarily entails Federal Stafford loans which are allocated by the Great Lakes Higher Education Corporation, the guaranty agency that serves this area. In 1999,nearly 2,800 Parkside students borrowed, 44% of the enrollment. The total amount of tuition loaned was around $8 million dollars. Reasons for Parkside's low debt may be a combination of several things. First, low debt may be contributed to the university's low tuition. Among the thirteen, four-year, public universities in Wisconsin, Parkside ranks third for lowest tuition rates. UW-Oshkosh and UW-Superior narrowly beat out Parkside both having a difference of under $100 each. If students are spending less, they will owe less. Secondly, a large majority of Parkside's students are commuters. In 1999, only 714 students lived in the dorms--that's 9% of Parkside's overall student population. This means that Parkside students are owing the university less money every semester than the average college student at other institutions. Thirdly, many students are qualifying for grants. These are sums of money used toward university fees that do not have to be paid back. Ingrid Austin, the acting director in Parkside's Financial Aid & Scholarships office, explains, "We have a number of students who show quite a bit of [financial] need when they go through the financial aid process. So a lot of those students are receiving grant funds either from the federal government or the state government. A lot of students are finding out that they are able to cover a large percent of their tuition through grants." Lastly, Parkside has a large percentage of non-traditional students and students who nave Jobs outside of school. In both cases, these students can pay their tuition or payoff their loans before they incur a large amount of debt. 3 Trager trip an exchange between (riends By Will Brinkman Professor I:.i1lianTrager left on October 5, 2000, for Nigeria, Africa.As a part of the faculty exchange program between UW-Parkside and Obafemi Awolowo University in lie-He, a southern region of Nigeria, she will spend two semesters in Africa. In addition, Trager is participating in the sociology trip to Ghana, Africa. "I have a very long standing connection with the university because of a faculty exchange which I directed, and also because of my research. Between 1991 and 1996six faculty members from there came here to Parkside and several Parkside faculty members went there." According to Trager, when most people think of Africa, Professor Lillian Trager leads sociology trip to Ghana, Africa. more specifically East Africa, they think of going on safari and viewing wild animals. This is not the case in West Africa. "This is not the trip for people who want to go to Africa to see animals. It's much more exciting for people who are interested in other cultures and history, learning about and meeting people from Ghana. What you have in West Africa is lots of people, culture, religion, ritual, art, dance, and music." Along with the faculty exchange program that Trager is participating in, there is a sociology trip to Ghana, West Africa. The trip to Ghana is tied. to an eight week course between October 26 and December 14 of this year. The class meets between 7 and 8:45p.m. on Thursday evenings. The curriculum is geared towards familiarizing the students with the culture, history, and arts of WestAfrica. "The class will be taught by James Stills. Because I'll already be in West Africa, I expect to be able to meet the group in Ghana for the trip itself," said Trager. "The first part of the course is an orientation to the culture, history, and background of Ghana. The second part is about practical things such as health issues, clothing, living conditions, questions quite usual for people who haven't previously visited that area of the world. For information on this trip to Ghana and the corresponding curriculum, contact Lillian Trager at 262-595-2543 or at trager@uwp.edu, James Stills at 262-619-6640 or stillsj@gatewaytec.wi.us, or Joe Lambin at 262-595-2177or lambin@Uwp.edu.

They say that the quality and quantity just is not there. They wonder where the extra money is going when they do not use up their entire meal plan. Will they be able to buy in bulk at the end of the year or receive a refund on their money? This was a foremost question on every student's mind at the meeting on Monday, October 2nd, led by DeAnn Stone. All students living on campus are required to have a meal plan. For the 2000-20001 academic school year a block meal plan has been designated. Everyone but the seniors are required to have a meal plan that includes block meals. The smallest of these plans costs $715 and each individual block meal costs $5.80. The price is to include an all-you-can-eat-buffet or some meals sold down at the Union Square. Students are complaining that they are not getting a wide enough variety; for example stir fry was served two nights in a row. Most of the students are not eating their blocks worth. One reason for this is the dining room is only open at night from 4:30-7:00 p.m.; this causes problems for those students who work or attend classes during the evening. Marriott, the food distributor for UW-Parkside, did not renew their contract because they were losing money. UWP reached an agreement with them to continue; Marriott gave UWP various options. The meal block program was one of the options in which UWP chose in the best interest Rape: keep it from happening By Brenda Dunham Ten unsuspecting University .Residents thought they were going to a Hawaiian Luau sponsored by Resident Life. They all received a leigh and a drink. However, some of those drinks were in previously marked cups indicating, the ,possibility and ease in which someone could receive a date rape drug. Knowing that this scary possibility could be a reality, Parkside Police Officer Marlene Schlecht was there to help students realize there are things everyone can do to keep rape from happening. The first thing to know about preventing rape is understanding more about it. According to the surviving sexual assault advocates, "rape is an act of violence. Itis an attempt to control and degrade using sex as a of the students. UW-Parkside was supposed to get a Taco Bell a couple of years ago, but they declined saying not enough students lived on campus for the business to be profitable. Students would also like to see specific meals set aside on an a la carte menu. The prices of individual food items are too high, and according to Dennis Casey, "the main reason for that was the high price 0.£ gas during the summer which caused delivery backups." The new system of the dining room is also causing havoc for UWP students who live in the apartments as well as faculty and staff. A la carte is not offered at night, and so many of the professors refuse to eat here anymore. According to Professor Randy McKee, " it is easier and cheaper to pick up something from a McDonald's than to stand in line for an allyou know. "Rapists rape again and again, until caught." To keep rape from happening to you, be aware 0.£ your surroundings and walk with confidence and purpose. Don't' let Eric ROChe:Mar~eneSchlecht, and Katie Lohre cleverly teach students how to avold being a victim. weapon." It can happen to any person no matter how old or what sex they are. Rapists can be anyone, especially people drugs and alcohol cloud your judgment, trust your instincts by leaving an uncomfortable situation or place. Lock all the you-can eat buffet when you really only want a bowl of soup." Apartment students are starting to cook since it is less of a hassle and cheaper, and they think that there needs to be a different arrangement for them other than the meal block program. Meals that have not been eaten during the fall semester will carryover into the spring term. There is currently no solution to the problem of meals not eaten after the entire year. Meetings are being held to come up with a solution. Buying bulk may be a possible option, which is now available with the a la carte. The meal plan is not going to go away; however, there may be solutions to the problems. If any student is concerned with these issues, then they should feel free to attend. The next meeting will be on Monday, October 23rd in Moln 114 at noon. doors and windows in your home and car. Use a peep hole and make sales or service people show identification, never enter your house if it shows signs of forced entree. Be sure to get to know your neighbors; you might need to go to them for help. Be wary of isolated spots such as apartment laundry rooms and parking lots, park in well lighted and well traveled areas, never hitchhike or pick up hitchhikers, and always have your keys ready before you get to your car, home, or office. If you do get into a possible rape situation try to get away and make a lot 0.£ noise. Screaming may just be the thing to discourage your attacker. You may also stall or attack. Attacking must be quick Continued back page... -- Student Voices AIDS Walk and its protestors by Chris Cantir Around five thousand people raised $692,544 during the AIDS Walk in Milwaukee on October first. The weather was perfect and people walked for a good cause AIDSis a disease that kills people every day. The walkers collected donations that will go to 15 local organizations that raise awareness and help people diagnosed with the HIV virus. Close to the end of the walk, the participants were heckled by a small crowd of protesters. They thought we were raising money for a gay cause. They should read the final press release of the AIDS Walk organization: "Sharing the stage with national spokesperson Jackie [oyner-Kersee was Nile Sandeen, the young man who inspired the creation of Media takes sides Political review by Shane McDonald It seems that the media do not cover each candidate equally. It does not cover third party candidates like Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan. It emphasizes Governor Bush's mistakes and ignores Vice-President Gore's. Right now, many of you are probably saying, "thatis your opinion, but where is your proof?" Well, how about the facts. Fact #1 Negative Repablican coverage RATS...A Republican ad attempted to convince voters that Democratic plans would involve to many bureaucrats. The words of the ad were fragmented, and when they fragmented the word bureaucrats it ended with the word "rats." I have no opinion on wether it was intended to poke fun at the Democratic party or not. I didn't make the ad. My point is the Democratic Party felt that the ad contained subliminal messages and the story was covered by the national media. @#!$%%...When Governor Bush used obscene language toward a member of the media, it was covered. Fact #2 Lack of negative Democrat coverage Fund raisers at The White House? On Friday, September 22, the CBS Evening News and ABC's World News failed to report anything about the White House's sleepover lists, which were lists of Clinton campaign donors who had slept over at the White House. You would think that the American tax payers have a right to know who is staying in our government buildings. It is our taxes which pay for government buildings such as the White House. The politicians in those buildings should be our employees since we pay Camp Heartland, a summer camp experience for children with HIV." People who came out to protest the walk should know that AIDS affects anyone - gay or straight. The 5,000 walkers for them with our tax money. The fact that major news networks tried to hide this information aggravates me and it should aggravate you, too! Look for the Union Label...In a meeting with union workers, AI Gore stated that when he was a child his parents sang him to sleep with the Union song "Look for the Union Label." There was only one problem with this, the song was written when Al Gore was 27 years old. Now I'm not going to judge the vice-president, it may have been an honest mistake. My real concern is that (with the exception of the Fox News Network) none of the major networks pointed out Gore's mistake. Fact #3 No third party coverage It is upsetting that none of the third party candidates get consistent coverage. You would think that in America everyone gets to have their voice heard. Our diversity is what makes our country great. But, once again it seems that the mainpassed by those clowns and had to ignore them. Nobody was going to stop walking and ask for forgiveness. Nobody was going to agree with what the protesters were saying. If it was a gay cause, who cares? It's about helping people. Bottom line - walkers got together and raised more than half a million dollars. And people protestingmade fools of thernselves. If you would like to get more information on the AIDS Walk and the disease itself, go to the AIDS Walk Web site www.arcw.org. stream networks have decided to censor the campaigns in order to get their boys elected. Strong accusation you say? Well according to Fox News several of the heads of the news media were on the White House sleep-over lists, including the head of CNN. In the 1996 election 90% of the media voted for Clinton/Gore. I wish that the heads of the media would refrain from endorsing candidates. I must admit the first presidential debate was a pleasant surprise. The mainstream media did not show as much bias as in past months. However, it is still disappointing that Nader and Buchanan were not allowed in the debate. They were allowed to state their views after the debate, on Fox News, which I feel provides the best political coverage on TV. Itis important to vote, but it is equally important to be informed. All this talk about "Rock the Vote" is fine but make sure you know who your voting for. You wouldn't want to vote for a candidate with different views than yours, would you? - trying to force a loss on Boone's Titans. He threatens to publicly expose any, and all of the officials who are trying to bring down Boone's career as a coach. Yoast and Boone form a lifetime friendship, based on a mutual respect of each other, which still exists today. They continued to coach together for several more years at T.e. Williams high school, until they both retired in the early eighties. This film is a certain Oscar contender with its superb story line that is both heart wrenching and heart warming. The entire cast did an exceptional job of bringing today's audience back into the mindset of the turbulent early '70s. For those of us who were not a part of the segregation upheaval, we can certainly appreciate the efforts of this team, and its coaches, to break down skin color barriers and show the rest of the world how to be friends with their neighbors. 6 Movie Review'.· <:. of their games.

Coach Boone and his family also go through a tough period of acclimation into the white community. He has to worry all season because he finds out from the board that losing just one game will result in the termination of his position with the school. Yoast sees that the board of education and sports officials are unethically, and illegally Remember the Titans By Lisa Whitcomb Disney's latest film Remember the Titans may be rated PG, but it is a must see for people of all ages because it is an inspirational story about life that is not just for kids. The film retells a true story about the racial segregation of a public school in Virginia in 1971. Once totally white, T'C, Williams High School is forced to combine with an all-black high school. The result is a volatile mix of hatred, misunderstandings, and lack of mutual respect between the students and the parents, of both colors. As upset as the parents are about the forced segregation, the tensions in the community really mount when long-time favorite white football coach Bill Yoast, played by Will Patton, is replaced with black coach Herman Boone, played by Denzel Washington. White parents and players immediately object and resent being coached by a blackman. But Boone holds his ground and abides by his number one rule: treat everyone the same, regardless of color, and expect no less from anyone on his team. "Respect, I always demand it of myself. Iwas taught to respect another man's beliefs, his culture, his space. Whatever Imight think of him, Imust treat him with respect," Boone states during the film. Boone puts his players through rigorous and intensive football training, but the players refuse to bond. To truly unify his team, Boone makes the players sit, eat, sleep, and learn about each other until everyone on the team is like a brother. The students resist his tough ways of coaching, but it doesn't take long before racial barriers begin to crumble and out of the ruble emerges strong friendships that will last a lifetime. Assistant coach Yoast begins to see Boone as the strong leader that he really is, and he respects the honesty and integrity of the new head coach's ways. The players must convince the rest of the students at the school and all of their parents that an interracial community can work. They do this by playing strong and winning all Will Patton (center, left) and Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington (center, right) star as high school football coaches Bill Yoast and Herman Boone, respectively, who In 1971 take an Alexandria, Vir., football team and transform the players into winners. Former UW·Parllside tracll star Carl Oliver an Olvmpian Carl Oliver, a 1995 graduate of UW-Parkside, ran the third leg of the men's 4x400 event for the Bahamas track and field team at the recently completed 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. Oliver's team had the third fastest time in the semi-finals and settled for fourth in the finals, just .45 seconds out of a medal. The Bahamas was in second place when Oliver handed off the baton. The squad's time was 2:59.23. Carl improved every year he was here, said UW-Parkside coach Lucian Rosa, who guided Oliver through his collegiate career at UWP. Rosa said you . could tell he was an Olympic-level athlete. At UWP, Oliver ran the quarter-mile in 49.21 in 1993; 47.63 in 1994; and 46.84 in 1995. He came to the University clocked at 53.3. In 1996, Oliver competed in the Atlanta Olympics games. Rosa, a 1972 Olympic marathoner representing Sri Lanka, is a 1976 graduate of UW-Parkside and has coached Ranger teams for 25 years.

There are about 50 Surviving Sexual Assault Advocates over campus. If someone needed help, they could go to them or to the campus police. "There are defiantly people who can help," said Eric Roche. The Surviving Sexual Assault Advocates will be having a training session January 25. "The more advocates we have the more survivors we have," says Katie Lohre. "If it helps one person who has been a victim who never had the help then it was all worth it," said Schlecht. "Spread the word and be more safe," says Roche. UWP receives diversity award today The first-ever Wisconsin Diversity Award will be presented to UW-Parkside during a ceremony in' Madison today. The University is being honored by the state's Department of Employment Relations (DER) and the Council on Affirmative Action. UW-Parkside's comprehensive recruitment plan and what DER Secretary Peter Fox called its, "Tremendous change in diversity hiring" were reasons for the award. UW-Parkside was one of 26 UW System campuses eligible for the award. Another 27 state agencies were invited' to apply. Each campus' and agency's diversity program was reviewed for its impact on their overall diversity achievements. "Receiving this award is a major honor for UW-Parkside, and is indicative of the effort put forth by the entire campus and community," said Chancellor Jack Keating. "Every academic and administrative department has made a conscious effort to bring greater diversityto theirprograms. I think we have not only attracted a diverse workforce, we've attracted a talented workforce that also happens to be diverse." Of those hired by UWParkside from June 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000, 12 percent were African American, 6.3 percent were Hispanic while 4.1 percent had Asian backgrounds. Positions filled included faculty, classified staff, and academic staff. "We are recruiting a more diverse student population to meet the UW System's Plan 2008 goals. It's important for us to have a diverse staff," diversity guru Herbert Pitts said. "A diverse faculty and staff gives students role models and mentors they can emulate during their education." Keating added the entire community and the region worked in partnership to achieve this recognition. "We now have to gear up to improve our record. But for now, all who worked toward our goal are to be congratulated." _ ..........-- Microsoft Wlndows Mlllennlum Ed1t1onUpgrade Microsoft VlsuaJ Studio Pro 6.0 Bundle $28 Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 Standard Ed. $28 $48 Save BIG on software from the Wisconsin Integrated Software Catalog (WISC): Microsoft Office 2000 Premium Edition (8 CD set) $30 Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Upgrade $28 Microsoft Office 98/FrontPage Bundle (,Mac) $28 Microsoft Wlndows 98 2nd Edition Upgrade $28 $28 F1IeMaker Pro Version 5 Apple Mac as 9 $38 For more info, technical support, and license deta.ils, seewww.wisc.edu/wisc WISC software is only aval1a.ble to registered students at UW-8ystem schools and Wisconsin Teabnical Colleges.

"The chalIt probably has not escaped the notice of many students or faculty here at UW-Parkside that there has been some construction taking place across campus lately. For those of you keeping a weary eye on tuition rates, worry not. We, the students, are not paying for the work. Under UWP's "Road and Sidewalk Project," our campus undergoes a once-a-year assessment of all sidewalks and roadways. During this assessment, a crew evaluates the safety of the sidewalks, as well as the availability of wheelchair accessibility. Those areas deemed a potential liability for the University are then repaired, The school contracts the work to the lowest bidder and then waits for the work to get done. Unfortunately for UWP students, it took until late September for the contractors to start repairing the sidewalks, creating an eyesore and an occasional detour on the way to class. The good news is the roughly $60,000 project is fully state-funded and will not cost students anything, except a little extra lime to get to class. Another positive aspect of this is that as winter closes in, and the need for salt on the roadways draws nearer, the construction crews are striving to complete their on-eampus work within the next 30 days, as of press-lime, so as to avoid any potential complications resulting from the use of salt. In addition to the sidewalk and roadway work being done on campus, there are also plans to remodel the 01 levels of Molinaro Hall and the Communication Arts buildin1k One result from this work will be, 'More, better facilities, especially for music, art, and the dramatic arts," said ViceChancellor William Streeter. It is probably evident to the UWP community, as well, that there is some work being done on Rt. 31, and that some of it is infringing on UW-Parkside property. The Wisconsin Department of Transfortation (DOT) is in the process a widening Rt. 31 into a fourlane highway with a medial strip. In order to expand the highway onto campus property, the DOT had to See Construction, Page 3 A bit of New York graces the Communication Arts Theatre as workers put the finishing touches the set of "A View From the Bridge."

DIVERSITY AWARD The Wisconsin Department of Employment Relations (DER) presented UW-Parkside with the department's first-ever Diversity Award on Thursday, Oct. 12. The presentation was made in Madison by DER Secretary Peter Fox. The Wisconsin Department of Justice also was received an award, with UWMilwaukee receiving honorable mention. Fox praised UW-Parkside for its success in attracting qualified faculty and staff to the Kenosha campus. Twelve percent of those hired by the University from June 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000 were African American. Another 6.3 percent of the employees hired were of Hispanic decent, and 4.1 percent had ASian herita~e. Fox said UW-Parkside s efforts are an example of a decade-long trend of greater employment opportunities at state agencies. _ "Over the last ten years there has been a 22 percent decline in the number of state employment groups that were under-represented for women and minorities," he said. That's a great achievement. There are still areas where there is under-represenFlanking DER Secretary Peter Fox, UW-Parkside Chancellor Jack Keating, left, and Diversity chief Herb Pitts collect the hardware as the state top agencies for diversity. UW-Milwaukee received honorable mention tation and we will continue to try to clear that up." . In accepting the award, UWParkside Chancellor Jack Keating said the University is committed to reflecting the ethnic diversity of its area. "I personally believe no university today is really a university that's able to educate it's students effectively if it does not have a diverse population both in its students and in its staff and faculty. This is critical in today's SOCiety,"Keating said. He then added, "We must relate to the demographic environment we live in. And that is our goal at UWParkside: to serve the region with a demographic profile that makes no difference between us and the profile of the region we live in southeastern Wisconsin. " UW-Parkside's Director of Equity and Diversity Herbert Pitts, said as UW-Parkside recruits more students of color, diversity of its staff becomes increasingly important. "A diverse faculty and staff gives students role models and mentors they can emulate during their education," Pitts said. Pitts added the recruitment of a more diverse student population is a major part of the University of Wisconsin System's Plan 2008 goals. UWParkside has the second highest percentage of minority students in the system's network of 26 four- and two-year campuses. Twenty-seven Wisconsin state agencies were invited to submit an application for the Diversity Award. Every UW System campuses also was elil"ble to apply. Another Each agency s and campus' diversity program was reviewed for its impact on their overall diversity achievements. People at Work Cont'd from Page 1 negotiate with the University on a few matters. First, the DOT agreed to move the UWP sign at the comer of Rt. 31 and Highway E at its expense. In addition, the DOT will reroute the cross country course, also at state expense. Also, the DO.T has agreed to pay $10,000 (in addition to the costs of widening the highway), half of which goes to UW-Parkside, and the other half to the state. This part of the agreement is still pending. Don Kolbe, of Facilities Management, is excited about the work being done, both on campus and on Rt. 31. "The work on Rt. 31 will make it easier for students to get to campus, and the redone sidewalks will add an element of safety for the students." Unfortunately, there are no plans, as yet, to replace any of the roughly 50 trees that were cut down in order to make room for the highway work. Make a difference - vote!

Take Back the Night rallv set for Oct. 26 By Christine Agaiby One in four women will be sexually assaulted during her college career. One in three women will be sexually assaulted sometime in their life. How can we change these statistics? The Womyn's Center at UW-Parkside wants to provide a solution with a chance for women to "take back the night" with a rally and a march through campus. " "Take Back the Night" is an annual international event. It was started in England in 1978 where many women complained they were afraid to walk on the street at night because of the frequency with which sexual assault was being committed. This was a night where women-banded together, speaking out against assault. UW-Parkside's Womyn's Center has been sponsoring this event for 11 years. "Take Back the Night" is always held on the last Thursday in October in conjunction with UW-Parkside's Rape Awareness Week. When asked why it is held at this time, [aclyne Buzzell, a member of the Womyn's Center responded, "If you're going to be sexually assaulted in college, it will most likely occur within your first six weeks of school. This is especially true for freshman who may be living away from home for the first time and want to fit in." Nicole Forast, another Womyn's Center member added, "Freshman, or any student for that matter, may not be paying attention to how much they've been drinking, making them a likely victim for sexual assault."

Fact and Fantasy," Oct. 14 to Jan. 14. The museum will be transformed into a dramatic underwater seascape complete with 17 life-sized shark models, aquariums with live sharks, and a life-sized diving cage. The mere mention of the word "shark" sends chills down the spines of most people. Films like "Jaws" and "Deep Blue Sea" have given sharks a reputation as cold-blooded killing machines. However, fewer than 15 people are killed annually in shark attacks. In fact, there is a grea ter danger of a person being killed by a pig or an elephant than by a shark. Milwaukee would seem a strange place to host a shark exhibit, considering the distance to the nearest salt water shore. However, over 370 million years ago, long before the first dinosaurs walked the Earth, much of Wisconsin was on the shore of a .large sea and home to many shark species. The museum will have on display pieces of rock formations with fossilized sharks from the Milwaukee area. Visitors also have the rare opportunity to view sharks feeding. The feedings will take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12-1 p.m. Visitors can also view a shark embryo in an egg case and a dissected dogfish shark. The admission to the shark exhibits is free with regular museum admission, The fee is $6.50 for adults (18-59), $5 for seniors (60-plus), $4 for children aged 4-17, and free for children 3 and under. The museum is open daily from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call the museum at (414) 278-2702. Artistic books displaved atlibrarv An exhibition of Artists Books, entitled "BadWater Invitational" is on display at the UW-Parkside Library this month. The exhibit features more than 40 local and national artists working in the field of Book Arts. A variety of media are included from traditional letterpress, handmade paper, and acrylic painting, to collage, printmaking, and found objects. Many are unique and one-of-a-kind and will challenge your concept of what a book can be. The exhibit is co-sponsored by Friends of the Library and the BadWater Book Club.

Take a walk around to the east side of Greenquist Hall. You will have to look closely to see it-it's so environmentally friendly that it is hard to notice. The log benches and podium are camouflaged by the natural surroundings. The location is nice because it is located between Communication Arts and Molinaro Hall and is directly in front of Greenquist Hall. Ed Wallen, the head of Health, Safety and Environmental Committee, had attempted in the past to have an outdoor classroom built. This summer the committee finally approved his idea. Banda receives five Emmv nORlinaUW-Parkside Adjunct Instructor in Communication Dan Banda has been nominated for five Emmy awards for his film "Indigenous Always." The film was shown on campus last semester. He is in the running for best documentary, best writing, best videography, best musical composition, and best editing. Banda will teach a Comm 290 documentary filmmaking course in spring 2001. He also will run a series of public lectures to be called "The inner workings of documentary filmmaking." These will feature the individuals in charge of videography, music, editing, and himself as the writer (producer. UW-Parkside makes enrollment gains Preliminary enrollment figures for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside show an increase in full-time students for fall semester 2000. The University welcomed 3,560 full-time equivalent (FIE) students, an increase of 31 students from fall semester 1999. Total enrollment for the semester is 4,92L Final figures will be available at the end of October. A single student or several students taking a total of 15 credits is defined as a full-time equivalent by the University of Wisconsin System. The FTE figure is used to determine state funding within the University of Wisconsin System. The classroom was built by Nick Koski. It also can be used as a meeting place for clubs, and for memorial services, and ceremonies. If it is used frequently, additions could include a blackboard, screen, writing arms, lapboards, and electricity. There were some professors who say the classroom is not student friendly because the seating can't be moved to form discussion groups. The classroom was built with a podium and long log benches arranged in a typical classroom seating style. Although the structure is typical, the setting is not. Visit the outdoor classroom for yourself and decide whether you like it or not. ) \ Dr. Lee Ross, standing, makes a point during a Criminal Justice class utilizing UW-Parkside's outdoor classroom.

Sport and Fitness Management new major this fall By Zach Robertson Have you ever thought of working for a professional sports organization or owning your own fitness center? If the answer is "yes," then UW-Parkside has the major you need. This fall marks the beginning of the new Sport and Fitness Management major at UW-Parkside. After 4 years of planning and working out the necessary details through the University of Wisconsin System, students now can declare Sport and Fitness Management as their major. Students in this program will be able to choose between two different options within the major-the sports option and the fitness option. The sports option i~ designe~ for students who are mterested ill careers such as sports marketing, sports information, and sports law. The fitness option is science-based but also has an application background. This View Cont'd from Page 1 handsome and questions his masculinity. He also is concerned that Rodolpho is using Catherine to gain citizenship. Another dynamic in the triangle is Eddie's emotional attachment to Catherine and Beatrice's attempts to keep her man. The conflict turns Eddie from a loving father figure to an aggressive protector determined to crush Rodolpho and Catherine's relationship. Sunstrom, who calls Miller "America's greatest living playwright," said "A View from the Bridge" will hit close to home for many people in southeastern Wisconsin. option would be for someone interested in careers such as fitness assessment or fitness management pro~ams. 'One of the big pluses of this major is that it takes a multidisciplinary approach" says deEartment chair Dr. Penny Lyter. ' Students will take courses in businesss, accounting, human resources, management, as well as sport and fitness classes." - Sport and Fitness Management is becoming a popular field across the country. Sport management is a newer major, while fitness management has been around for a while. However, UW-Parkside handles the fitness option differently than other schools. . "We attach the management side to the fitness option so the student will get a business background. That way, they won't be coming out "The play's themes and struggles will speak to the heart of the Racine and Kenosha communities. The story is built around the struggles of an Italian immigrant family in the Red Hook area of Brooklyn. Ninety percent of all Italian immigrants in our area have family that originally arrived in this country via the port of New York. It will be very easy for the community to see their grandparents, parents, and even themselves in the characters of the play," he said. Tickets for "A View from the Bridge" are $7 for students, facility, staff, and seniors, and $10 for adults. Discount tickets are available for groups of 20 or more, and money saving coupon books also are available. For reservations and information, call Diane Smith at ext. 2564 or contact smithd@Uwp.edu bye-mail. just as a exercise physiologist, but someone who can manage and operate their own business" said Dr. Lyter. With the growing process that is currently underway in the physical education department, they are hoping to hire a new faculty to help with the program. The department is still offering certificates in wellness, coaching, and sports management. "We want to make sure we are covering everything the students need in order to come out of here with an adequate experience", said Dr. Lyter. With the new Sports and Activities Center and the new major, the Physical Education Department is looking forward to its future. "We are very excited about the new major, especially with the new facility. This IS a real growing time for our whole department" said Dr. Lyter. "0 f ::r ~ ~ N o.

They offered one housemate the chance to leave with $50,000. Even though it was very tempting, all of them declined explaining they were there to playa game and 'have fun. Cassandra was the next one banished. The other housemates felt she did not contribute to late night discussions and was more secure when it came to leaving the house. She was proud of her time in the house and explained it as an "experience of a lifetime." Her family greeted her on Day 71 when she left the house. George "Chicken Man," the oldest contestant, was the sixth person to leave the house after every other housemate. nominated him. He's a roofer from Rockford, a husband and father. He was so proud to be part of Big Brother he didn't hold the nominations against the others. He thought it was great they all choose him. One of the main reasons he took part in the show was to hopefully win and not have to worry about money for his daughter's college tuitions. He flew the coop on Day 78. Fourth place was said to be the worst position to be in because you are so close, yet so far away. Jamie "Hollywood" was banished next. She also is the current Miss Washington USA. She was vocal on her aspirations for acting and chose to meet with a casting director over her own mother when she won a challenge. The last female left the house on Day 85. Then there were three: Curtis, By Lynn Garcia Unless you have been hiding under a rock this past summer, you already know how popular "reality" shows are. The finale of Big Brother aired last Friday night. The CBS show took ten contestants-five males and five females-and threw them into a house without any contact with the outside world. Sounds like MTV's Real World, doesn't it? The catch: The housemates have to nominate two other housemates. The two people who have the most votes are then ' up for banishment." America could then call 1-900-740-1000 and vote for a housemate. Each call cost ninety-nine cents. The housemates had to participate in challenges and bet their grocery money on whether they would win or not. The first contestant to be banished was Will, better known as "Mega." He was a man who had no problem claiming what he thought belonged to him. He was the first to pick a bed and explore the rest of the house. Will was disloyal to his housemates. During the third challenge, "Dead or Alive," he answered the questions incorrectly, on purpose. The houseguests were supposed to answer whether a person was alive or dead. He answered three questions incorrectly and lost $70 of their $350 in grocery money. The other housemates suspected he threw the challenge and he was gone on Day 16. The next one banished was Jordan, the stripper. She was nominated for many reasons: being a neg.ative force in the house, not letting ISsues die, and acting as though she was better than the rest of the housemates. She left the house on Day 29. The third to go was the wife and mother of four, Karen. Her story was full of controversy from the very beginning. Karen said she had been part of a loveless marriage for 22 years with a husband who refused to kiss her on the lips. She often told the housemates she was planning on filing for divorce when she got out of the house. The reason she was nominated were for her own good. Many people thought she missed her kids and the house put a lot of unneeded stress on her. Karen said good-bye on Day 43. The fourth contestant banished was Brittany, the one with the colorful personality and hair. During her stay she took care of many of the housemates, cutting and coloring their hair. She donned red, blue, green, and black hair along with a bull-like nose ring. What was most interesting about Britt was her tiny romance with Josh. She was open and honest with him, letting it be known that she was a virgin. When she was nominated so were Cassandra, George, Eddie, and Josh. Unfortunately George's wife, Theresa, brought the city of Rockford, Ill.together to eliminate his competition, Brittany. The spunky 24-year-old left the house on Day 57. With half of the housernates gone, Eddie, and Josh. The last days in the Big Brother house were spent partying and drinking. Curtis dyed Iosh's' hair blue and they all celebrated as they awaited the announcement of the winner. On a liVE show on Sept. 29, Big Brother brought back all the houseguests to greet the winners as they came out into the "real world." The third runner up-Curtis-was the lawyer from New York City. His prize was $50,000. Even though he was up for banishment many times during the course of the show, Curtis made it to the end, Day 88. Second place was awarded to the civil engineering student from California, Josh. Whether he was being a ~ood friend or getting drunk and danemg the Irish Gig, Iosfi was always having a blast in tfie house. When asked wliat he would do with the money if he won he talked about putting some away for his niece's college education. Josh won $100,000 and also made it across the finish line. He left on Day 88. First place was awarded to Eddie, a student from New York, who lost his left leg to cancer. Even though he made it known from the very beginnir>g he was playing the game for money Eddie opened up and made some close friends. He plans to take some of the $500,000 and payoff some medical bills. He also anticipates a really great holiday season. It was very interesting to see now people react when they are thrown into a controlled situation. The threemonth show is over but I'm sure the next Big Brother is already in the works. n d f a p g Police Beat 010/03 Incident #00-746 Traffic Violation, CTH E, .3 miles east of Hwy 31, 6:12 a.m., driver was cited for speeding 63 mph in a 45 mph zone. 010I03 Incident #00-747 Personal Properly Theft, Wyllie Hall, 12:53 p.m.,a student reported losing her wallet in a restroom.

Have you ever wished-you could do · more than cross-country ski for credit over winter break? Your wish has been granted. This year, UW-Parkside is offering l'five courses running between Dec. 27, ,2000, and Jan. 15,2001. Two courses offered are cross-listed and both involve a trip to Costa Rica. StuIdents can sign up for either "Geol 370, ·Field Studies in Regional Geology:' "Costa Rica or Bios 490, Advanced Topics ·in Biology," or "Costa Rican Natural History." The courses will be co-taught by Gerald Fowler of the Geolow. Department and Greg Mayer of the BIOlogy Department. Any student interested must turn in a deposit for the trip by Monday, Oct. 23. · In addition, there will be three onecredit special topics courses offered from various departments: Dram 290/490 titled "SpecialTopicsin Dramatic Arts: Production Touring" will run Jan. 4 through 15. The instructor is Judith Tucker-Snider. Engl 490 "Special Topics in En9,lish: The Book: ..Past, Present and Future' will be taught •by Andrew Mclean.

Finally, there will be a three credit course titl~d "Lead Astray: Contamination in Urban Environments." The instructors are Chris Evans in the Geology Department and Lori Allen in the Chemistry Department. .,. This first "Winterim" seSSIOn IS a trial run. Ron Singer, associate vice chancellor, explained the University has a very popular summer session and would like to offer students more opportunities to earn credit outside of the traditional fall and spring semesters. Some of the obstacles of having classes over winter break involve the very limited time frame for students to complete course work and the inability for many students to make time for such classes. UW-Parkside intends to invite students from other universities who will be in the area over break to attend winter courses. The University will advertise in other student newspapers as they have done in the past for summer sessions. Winter session registration will be around the same time as registration for the Spring Semester. Any questions about the courses listed above should be directed to the instructors of the courses.

When you graduate, where in the country do you want to work? If you start a business,wherewill itbe located? Your answers to these questions are vitally important to the state's future, Getting you to answer "Wisconsin" to both questions was one reason for Tuesday's "Listening Session" at the Sports and Activity Center. Opinions expressed by business people and development officials at this and other meetings around the state will help set the agenda for next month's Economic Summit in Milwaukee. The UW System is a major sponsor of the summit. College graduates leaving Wisconsinthe state's "brain drain"-is a problem. The state's population trends show the severity of this problem. "In 1997,Wisconsin's ranking for 'in migration: the number of people coming to live here, was 50th m the United States:' Keating said. "And our 'out migration: people leaving the state, was in the top quarter" (seventh of fifty). Venture capital, money raised to finance business start-ups and growth, is another area of concern, as is education. Debbie [ossart of Racine said education providers need to be move faster to meet the changing needs of students and business. "Schools need to be more flexible to reactto the skillsbusinessneeds:' [ossart said. "We need more internships and' practical experience so students make a connection with area businesses and want to stay here." Along with the brain drain and a lack capital, a lack of entrepreneurial spirit is hurting Wisconsin. In the eyes of one observer, finding and funding these future business people should be a priority. "We need to identify young entrepreneurs and encourage them early on," said Mark Mundi of Racine's Workforce Development Center. "And we need to create venture capital pools and business incubators to help them get their ideas off the ground." Some of the opinions expressed at Tuesday's listening session are likely to serve as topics for the Summit, Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 at Milwaukee's Midwest Express Center.' That three-day frogram will examine key portions 0 the state's economy with an emphasis on the creation of quality jobs, generation of investment capital, workforce education, and the enhancement of Wisconsin's image as a technology and job growth leader. The state's success in reaching these goals is likely to have a direct impact on the future of many UW-Parkside students. A Different Voice How much does it cost to voteP By Carol Tebben, Associate Professor of Political Science On a golden Virginia morning in the autumn of 1952,a diminutive woman with graying hair (we will call her Claire Umbrey) awoke earlier than usual. It was Election Day, and she planned to walk the extra three miles necessary on her way to work to cast her vote for president of the United States. It was all because of her son Harvey. Although her salary as a domestic was minimal, wages were crucial to Claire in those days. She had been supporting .her family since her husband was seriously injured at work. When Claire arrived at the rural schoolhouse set up with makeshift voting booths, it had not yet opened for voting. She was able to catch her , breath before the door was finally opened to her and the others who were waiting. "That'll be a dollar to vote," insisted the man from neighboring Jefferson County who was assigned to run the polls that day. Poll taxes were used by states at that time, particularly in the South, as a blatant attempt to limit the African-American vote. Claire did not have a dollar to spare topaythetax, but patientlyexplainedthat her son, Harvey, had fought in war a few years back, and that he had been shot in the back by enemy fire while rescuinga fellowsoldierwounded in the leg. Harvey had spent almost three weeks under intensive medical care . and in extreme pain before he died. She didn't know what happened to the soldier he had tried to save. "Harvey loved the general, and 1 want to vote for him." Unmoved, the bureaucrat responded, "No dollar, no vote." Effectively stripped of her constitutional right to vote as a citizen of the United States, Claire understood the importance of that dollar tax, and of the state policy behind it. It would be 12more years before poll taxes in federal elections were forbidden by the 24th Amendment and 14 years before poll taxes in state elections were declared a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, As the Court explained in the Harper case (1966),"The right of suffrage is a fundamental matter in a free and democratic society....The right to exercise the franchise in a free and unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil and political rights ... " No longer can our right to vote be predicated upon the payment of a tax. Claire recognized something even more significant that day than the negative effects of the poll tax. The cost of her vote was more than the dollar she was charged to prevent her from voting, and again, it was all because of Harvey. She understood then what many of us are still learning today. The cost of our vote has been paid by the blood of people like her son, Harvey .Umbrey, smce the time this country declared its independence. Is it that difficult for us to take a few moments from a life of convenience to vote a good person into office,when someone else has already paid the price? - October 26/ 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 2 THE RANGER Ins • 1 d e 3 Accredilation UP lor renewal Will Parkside pass the test and receive the funding needed? 4 Student Voices The future of our country is determined by the vote 5 UWPprol. secures $400;000 Grant Sylvia Beyer's grant from the National Science Foundation will allow herr to study the computer science field. 6 Entenainment Upcoming events for everyone to. enjoy. 1 spons An exciting season for UW-Parkside soccer teams.

October 26, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 3 UW-Parkside sponsors Controlling Community Violence program By Lisa Whitcomb This past July, UW-Parkside's Criminal Justice Department assumed the role of sponsor for the Controlling Community Violence Program (CCV). The program was initially created ten years ago at the request of a Racine County judge, and is under the direction of Doris LaBrasca. Racine and Kenosha county offenders, who have been convicted of domestic violations, battery, disorderly conduct, and criminal damage, are referred to the CCV program as an important alternative to imprisonment. The program is held every third Saturday of the month at a location that is off campus. The success of this program is reflected in the positive feedback from those OMSA InlrOS UW-Parkside Menlorship PrOgram By Sarah Olsen The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) is introducing the Always Reaching Upwards Mentorship Program (ARU). The program is designed to provide incoming students of color intellectual and emotional support from an upper classmen. The focuses of ARU are to provide an on-going introduction and orientation to the University and commuruty.: to help students develop a sense of belonging and ownership, and to increase students self-esteem and selfconfidence. A mentor is "a teacher, a role model, someone that listens, someLegends ol'the lost & lound Lose something? Sooner or later-for most of us, it's sooner-c-everyone loses something. If you misplace an item while on campus, the first place to look is the lost and found. . Didn't know the University had one? Well, you've found something important already. Found items are turned in to the Information Center in the UW-Parkside Union Bazaar. Valuable things like wallets, purses, arid the like are immediately sent to the University Police in Tallent Hall. So remember: if you lose something stop by the Information Center lost and found to identify andz'or claim your lost possessions. A mentor is "a teacher, a role model, someone that listens, someone to give advice, an advisor, a guide, and a friend," says Bridgelle Johnson. who have attended the all-day workshops, and by a drop in the crime recidivism rates. The intention of the program is to teach offenders how to handle, and deal with conflict before it escalates to abuse. According to Doris LaBrasca, the program director, abuse can be "mental, emotional, and physical. Usually all of these levels of violence are interconnected," she said. The offenders learn how to identify their anger, fear, or controlling behaviors, and then they learn how to release these things through selfempowerment and inner clarity, which gives the offenders a new perspective on life and relationships. one to give advice, an advisor, a guide, and a friend" says Bridgette Johnson, the director for ARU and OMSA. ARU is a revision of the mentorship program that existed on campus before. Previously, the program teamed students up with faculty members. . "1 wanted a peer mentoring program" says Johnson. Due to high demand for mentors, however, some students this semester will be paired with. a faculty or staff member. ARU is actively searching for upper classmen to join as mentors. Mentors and mentees are expected to meet at least twice a month and to keep in close contact with each other. Suggested activities for mentors and mentees are to attend a program that relates to a common area of interest, to attend sporting or theatrical events, to discuss a book or rent videos, to write a resume, or to surf the net together. These meetings are to be both entertaining and educational. The ARU program will also be taking trips as a group. Tentative ideas for After attending the program, men and women are more aware of their behaviors, become more responsible, and make better choices in their lives. There is a shift in the way people handle conflicts in their lives after attending the program. Often LaBrasca sees "drastic Changes in attitude and energy." LaBrasca points out, "Controlling community violence comes down to the individual. 1 help -the individual become more aware, get healing, and learn techniques about communication. These people are just human beings that are ship wrecked. They have gol to get in touch with boundaries, get in touch with how to handle themselves, and learn how to communicate. It's all about healing and maktrips include the museums in Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Chicago, the Holiday Folk Fair in Milwaukee, the Martin Luther King celebration on campus, and an end-of-the-year picnic. . The ARU program is also seeking to give juniors and seniors an opportunity to have an alumni member mentor them as they prepare to leave college and search for a job. Beginning January . 2001, students of color and alumni of color will be able to participate in the program. In addition, students on campus will go to local high schools and participate as Big Brothers and Big Sisters to high school students preparing for college. Although the primary focus of ARU is for students of color, it is not limited to them. . "All ofour services are <;pen to allstudents. We won't discriminate says Johnson. Mentors and mentees of non-minority status are encouraged to apply. Persons interested in becoming either a mentor or a mentee should go to the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, Wyllie 0182, or contact Bridgette Johnson at 595-2731, . ing better choices." - The CCV program is an outstanding way for UW-Parkside to give back to the community. It provides intervention where and when it's needed in the community, and it is a very po,rular program with judges, attorney s, and the public. I!also offers internship possibilities for Criminal Justice majors, which is one of the fastest growing departments at the University.

Parkside's Accreditation UP rorrenewal By Gina Garda On Wednesday Oct. 11, John Taylor, an associate director on the Evaluation Services Staff for the North Central Association (NCA), visited OW-Parkside. He met with faculty and staff in Greenquist 103 to explain the accreditation process. The NCA is a non-governmental accreditation organization located in Chicago' serving 19 states. They are one of .six agencies in the nation and have 997 institutions on their commission. Taylor is the staff liaison for the campus and will assist and guide the University throughout the process. To be an accredited institution, OWParkside must prove, through the accreditation process, that the university meets general institution requirements and specific criteria set by the NCA. By June 2002, UW-Parkside must put together a Self-Study 'Report. This report will show that the university meets 24 general .requirements that involve governancet authorization, UW-Parkside's mission, faculty, educational 'programs, finances, public information,andadvertising. Inadd~ tion, the university must show that it meets five criteria for accreditation. These criteria include a clear mission, adequate resources, programs and services planning, and integrity. UW-Parkside's completed report will then be given to a team of Consultant Evaluators, peers. who are faculty members and instructors at other accredited institutions. This team will read the report and visit Parkside in early Oct. 2002. They will spend three days on campus asking questions and verifying statements the university has made. After the visit, the team will write their own report. Before both reports are submitted, UW-Parkside will have the opportunity to refute any statements made by the team in a formal written response. Next, two committees, the Accreditation Review Council (ARC) and the Institutional Actions Council (lAC), will review the reports and accrediting decisions will be made. Finally, 17 members on the NCA's Board ofTrustees will validate the decision. The process will be complete in the Spring of 2003. Questions about the accreditation process can answered either on the NCA's website, www.ncacihe.org or by Larry Deutsch, the coordinator of SelfStudy for UW-Parkside's accreditation, at ext. 2483.

Joshua Steinhauer" Undergraduate Research Funded at UW-' By Lisa Whitcomb This fall marks the third semester that the UW-Parkside College of Arts and Sciences has awarded funds for the Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program. According to Dean Donald Cress, "Many faculty and academic staff have been conducting their research in collaboration with undergraduate students for several years. However, this has taken place without tangible institutional support and without formal recognition of the students involved in these research projects." Now, the University has made fund- / ing for research available. A $450 stipend can be applied to any research project which has passed a review board's approval. $100of support goes to the sponsoring faculty member, so they can assist the student with research materials like books, comput-. er software, or travel costs incurred by the student to present a paper on the research. The remaining $350 stipend is awarded the student involved with the collaborative.research project. Proposed projects have to be consistent with the faculty member and student's academic area of study, and must be mutually agreed upon by the faculty member sponsoring the project and the student who has been asked by the faculty member to take on the project. . "The idea is that students are not just photocopying, or doing scud work. But that this is a serious partnership [between the faculty member and the student] and a real research project," Cress said. A brief form must be completed for each project the semester prior to the one in which the research will actually be conducted. The Board looks for a technical description of the project, how it will relate to the faculty member's previous creative/ scholarly activity, the nature of the student's involvement, how it will advance the student's learning, the creative/. scholarly field, and the faculty member's own research program. At the end of each project, the student must disseminate the results of and Sciences. Cress said he would like to see more people from the social sci ences and humanities involved with this. Areas like biology have been c,?n ducting collaborative research with students for years, but humanities and social sciences primarily conduct research in a solitary manor. Cress reiterated, "It's a project that has considerable value because it provides an opportunity for students to see from the inside what research is like, and what it is that faculty do when they conduct research. Also, [students can learn] why faculty members fall in love with their area of study." Students and faculty members alike are encouraged to take advantage of the opportuni!)' to research their ideas with the fundmg and support of the . University. Cress advises that opportunities, such as conducting research and writing a scholarly dissemination, look good on a student's resume, and it's a wonderful chance for students to present their work at the state level. the project with a final paper or article. Cress adds, "Part of dissemination is for the students to get their work out and have others conunent on it, or correct it.". Dr. Carmel Ruffolo of Biology has applied for project funds four times already and said she appreciates the awards. She thanked Cress for his continued assistance with student research projects. "1 reallr support the Dean's initiative and wil continue to apply for the awards as long as they are available," said Dr. Ruffolo. She emphasizes many students are, "Qualified and deserve to have an opportunity to carry out research in an active research environment. They are good students academically and they are keen to get involved in research projects. It is great that we are getting these students into the lab to have hands-on experience. Research looks good on a resume." The research awards are available to every department in the College of Arts ·' October 26, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 5 UW' prof. secures $400,000 research grant By Julie Thompson There's much excitement in the Psychology Department this semester over Professor Sylvia Beyer's recent acquisition of a $428,000grant from the National ScienceFoundation to study why students choose to go into the computer science field, Professor Susan Haller, from the Computer Science department, will serve as co-investigator for the project and is involved in most of the research, When asked why she chose this particular area of science, Professor Beyer said, "The government is very much concerned about the shortage of computer scientists, There aren't enough programmers and they keep changing Jobs every six months because they're getting better offers from competing firms. So, it's a ma/'or issue and they're now flying in peop e from other parts of the world to fill the f,0sitions." Also, women aren t majoring in computer science and Professor Beyer would like to find out why. UW-Parkside's male to female ratio for Computer Science majors is currently stands at 41 Volunteer to 25, respectively, ' Opportunities The study, which will take place over a three-year period, will involve UWParkside students exclusively, and on multiple levels. The research will involve two studies taking place concurrently. The first study will be aimed at all incoming freshman for one year. They will be asked to answer a lengthy series of questions and will be followed up every semester for three years. The second study will involve students who are taking a computer science course at UWParkside. "I don't want to just focus on computer science majors, but even people who are showing just a little bit of interest, and are taking Computer Productivity Tools and the web courses, and then see if that's going to tum them on to computer science or not," said Beyer. "Over the course of the study, we will look at several thousand students and they will be followed up every semester." In addition to contributing as study subjects, students will have the chance to participate in other areas of research as well as the possibility to earn money for their particiJ'a tion. Pro fessor Beyer stated, A lot of people will be hired to work on this project." She will be hiring six research assistants each semester, a project coordinator, and a part-time transcriptionist. Becausethe National ScienceFoundation approved the grant quicker than expected, Professor Beyer will be teaching full-time this semester as' well as working on the project. Afterwards, she will have teaching release time. Meaning she will be responsible to teach three courses per year for three years. . During the course of the study, Professor Beyer will submit yearly progress reports to the NSF and upon completion of the study, she will write journal articles for publication as well as a final report submitted to the Foundation.

Peer posted shutouts number 12 and 13 over the weekend as the Rangers ran through Kentucky Wesleyan and Bellarmine colleges on the way to the Great Lake Valley Conference (GLVC) playoffs. On Friday, Oct. 20, Peer's goaltending took a back to the scoring of Jeff Hines. Hines slammed home the Rangers' final three goals as UW-Parkside opened up a six pack of Whoop You-Know-What in Owensboro and beat Kentucky Wesleyan 6-0. Peer's work was a more important on Sunday, Oct. 22. The Rangers mustered just a single goal, this one by Adam Chwala, and Peer made it stand up backing stopping a 1-0 win over Bel~ larmme College. The Rangers finished GLVC play at 7-4 and are 13-4 overallall 13 wins coming on shutouts by Mr. Zero, ell Dr. No, aka, Thorn Peer.

The process to become a great team is to start where the team left off last year. For the Rangers that goal was to recruit. According to Coach Rutter there was a strong recruiting class for this year's team. "Our goal was to find quality student athletes who would blend in with the returning players," said Rutter. He feels that has been accomplished. This year's team has five new players: Dean Pogodzinski and Matt Griffin are freshman and will play guard. The other three new comers on the team are transfers: Duane Dacres is a junior guard; Kurt Flowers is a junior who will play center; and Clay Lewkowski, another junior who will play forward. . "Each of these new players bring different qualities, versatility, and athleticism to the team" Rutter said. He added. the team has a couple of conference guards, a deep bench, and quality post players returning. The team also brings in two new assistant coaches. Luke Reigel who attended Wilmot High School. Reigel won the state championship at Wilmot. His dad was also the coach of the men's basketball team at Wilmot years back. Reigel went on to UW-Plattville where he won two national championships .. Jim Lindsey is a Kenosha native who attended University of Indianapolis. He played for the basketball team and also coached there. They replace Dave Williams who was an assistant coach at UW-Parkside for two years. Williams accepted a position as "an assistant athletic director at Parkside. The Rangers had their first practice Sunday, Oct. 15. Three points that Coach Rutter and his staff wanted the players to acknowledge were • The abilityto compete and play hard: • Regain confidenceand level play; and • The ability to work well as a team After the first practice, Rutter notice the players battled well, were an experienced group, and were very hungry to take the next step. "This group of young men has grown and become confident of success that they have deserved and I am proud of them" said Coach Rutter. First game the Rangers play is a exhibition Thursday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. The game is against the Coach Rudy's All Stars. The All Stars is a combination of ex-college players.

Lasik eye surgery is one . of the newest procedures available to correct vision problems and countless people have had success with Lasik. During surgery, an anesthetic eye ~drop numbs the surface of the eye. The surgeon then uses a special device to cut a hinged flap of thin corneal tissue off the outer layer of the eyeball ·(cornea) and the flap is lifted out of the way. The laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue and the surgeon replaces the flat' which quickly adheres to the .eyebal . There are no stitches involved and the procedure usually takes aboirt 10-15 minutes. A plastic or perforated metal shield is placed over the eye to protect the flap. You may experience a mild burning sensation for a few hours after surgery and temporary blurred vision. For the best possible vision some patients need additional surgery called enhancements . According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), seven out of ten patients achieve 20/20 vision. Good candidates for Lasik are those who are at least 18 years of age, (21 in some instances), have healthy eyes, in good general health, and clearly understand the risks and rewards of Lasik surgery. Pregnant or nursing women are not good candidates because these conditions may change the measured refraction of the eye.

At the next Olympics, scientists will be able to _ genetically enhance an athlete so .that their body produces more hormones ·internally, and that cannot be detected by tests. Why? Because there's a mar- ·ket for it." That's quite a strong statement from Richard Thieme. Thieme, as a former ~~gli~h professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago and Episcopal priest, wore many hats in his past. His col- .umn, "Islands in the Clickstream," is -read by subscribers in many countries. He came to UW-Parkside on Oct. 5 as a part of the Friends of the Library program. "I try to describe the present. I'm not ·a futurist. To some, the present sounds "like the future because they're 1, 2, or 3 .• tar-lengths behind the present." I Thieme touched on the subject of hackers and the world they pioneered and .created. "Hackers are searching for knowledge and information. They explored a world without boundaries. It's like when Native Americans first lived on this continent. They lived in a place and once the resources were used, they moved. They were unaware of imaginary boundaries. The hackers built the cyber-world and explored, for the imaginary boundaries had not been in place at that time." Looking for the next breakthrough, Thieme explored the futurist's vision and possible places to look. "It is now only possible to see five years in the future where it was once possible to see hundreds," Thieme said. "There are three places to look when you want to see the future: One !s the military. Look at what they're inventing-i-if you can find out about it. The s~cond is what children are playmg With. The third IS the sex industry. That's where the money goes so they have the funds to pour into new technology." For more information on Richard Thieme, access his web-address at www.thiemeworks.com.

On October 26; UW-Parkside's Womyn's Center held its 11th annual "Take Back the Night" convention to discuss the issue of rape prevention on school campuses. Two guest speakers, Jacqueline Claire Robmson and Stephen Montogna, spoke that night for the cause. Robinson, a 'visiting nurse well-experienced in caring for rape victims, said 60 percent of all rape victims are children; lout of 6 men have been a victim; and lout of 3 women have been raped. Robinson is a nurse for the Aurora Healthcare Center in Kenosha where she works with the. Rape Prevention Program. Of all of her experience, she says the most important help that a person can give a rape victim is their empathy, not sympathy. A person should admit they don't know what the victim is going through and offer to be there for them when the victim needs them. . The second guest speaker for the night was Stephen Montogna from the UW-Center for Women's Health. As a member of the center, he is also a volunteer for "Men Stopping Rape." He stressed that as a society, we have countless derogatory names for sexually active women in the Oxford English Dictionary, while sexually active men 'are glorified with titles that are more positive. "We need to move on from intervention [of rape awareness), to prevention." Demanding a movement for re-education, he focused on men and stated that we all must be allies with women and each other. Following the guest speakers, organizer of "Take Back the Night," Jaclyne Buzzell, opened the podium for volunteer speakers. Buzzell recalled her near encounter with rape and the "World March of Women" she participated in earlier this month in Washington D.C. Another male speaker was Parkside Student Government Association member, Jamie Freeman, who took the stand to express his admiration that half the audience was male, and to say that it is time that men get involved to help protect and inform today's society of rape prevention.

As the march continued, a few students deemed it necessary to mock "People [outside the building] weren't listening to our commands to move away from the doors," -Yarbrough said, He added that people close to the doors were being pushed against them by those further back in the crowd who were impatient to enter the building, Campus police along with Kenosha Sheriff and Kenosha city police officers then moved the crowd away from the doors, Yarbrough said the police were forced to use pepper spray on one or two people who were verbally and physically abusive to the officers.Three ofthose taken into custody were arrested near the Union building, another person was later arrested for disorderly conduct near the University Apartments, There were no injuries reported, The Kenosha Sheriff's Department and the Kenosha Police Departments returned later in the morning mainly to help clear the parking lots of traffic following the dance, "It wasn't too bad," Yarbrough said.

Page 4 Who is Ralph NaderP Editor's note: The views expressed in this article are the opinion of the writer, not of The Ranger. By Sarah Olsen With the presidential election only days away, many people may worry that they will never decide in time which person to vote for. There is a vast majority of information ab,?ut both presidential nominees George W. Bush and Vice-President AI Gore, but what about Ralph Nader? Who, you ask? Ralph Nader is the presidential nominee for the Green l'arty. It may seem unimaginable to many people that we could elect a gresident not supported either by the Republican or emocratic parties; however, maybe that is exactly why we should take a closer look at Ralph Nader. Ralph Nader was born in 1934 in Winstead, CT to Lebanese immigrants Rose and Nathra Nader. In 1955, he graduated magna cum laude from Princeton, and 1958 from Harvard Law School. In 1963, Nader was an unlcnown twenty-nine-year old attorney who aband~)Deda conventional law practice in Hartford, CT and hitchhiked to Washington, D.C. to begin a long odyssey of professional citizenship. Nader took a job working as ~ consultant to the U.S. Department of Labor, for ASSistant Secretary of Labor Daniel Patrick Moynihan. He moonlighted as a freelance writer for The Nation and The Christian Science Monitor. In 1965, Nader tackled General Motors and the American auto industry in his best-selling book "Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile." GM attempted to discredit Nader, who in turn, sued them for invasion of privacy. The president of GM was forced to go before the Senate Committee and admit wrongdoing, which resulted in a senes of sa.fety laws forcmg the auto industry to make drastic design changes for safer motor vehicles. Nader took the money he won from the settlement and launched the modern consumer movement. In 1971, Nader founded "Public Citizen" to be the consumers' .eyes and ears in Washington, working for "consumer. JustIce and gov~rnment and corporate accountability.

He has bought the ring, planned the proposal, and now all he needs to do is ask. Only one thing stands in the way - meeting the parents. "Meet the Parents" is the epitome of everyone's worst nightmare. Greg (Ben Stiller) wants nothing more than to marry Pam (Teri Polo). Just when he is about to propose, a phone call from Pam's sister interrupts him. Debbie, Pam's sister, just got engaged and is going to be married. Greg learns that he has to meet the parents before he can ask Pam to marry him. Greg plans to use the trip to New Yorkfor Debbie's wedding as the opportunity to win Pam's parents over before he asks her to marry him. Upon arrival at the family's house, Greg meets what appears to be a typically happy family: a loving father and mother and a devoted sister and brother. Greg's first impression starts off wrong when his dry wit falls flat with Mr. Byrne (Robert DeNiro). Mr. Byrne asks Greg how to pronounce his last name ".Focker" and finds that it is said just like the four-letter word it sounds like. The parents then discover that Greg is a male nurse, a job they seem to not approve of for men. Greg feels that he is not making a good impression and attempts to rectify the situation by overcompensating. However, it seems that nothing he says or does can fix the horribly hilarious chain of events that follows. l Ben Stiller, right, meets "Dad,"played by Robert DeNiro, with horribly hilarious results in "Meet the Parents." UW·Parkside Foreign FilBls offer slice froBl a different way of life By:Lisa Whitcomb UW-Parkside's annual Foreign Film series is celebrating its 19th season this year. Over the years, the series has proven to be extremely popular with the community, boasting over 1,000 patrons in many seasons. Since the beginning, the series has been overseen by ProfessorsNorman Cloutier (Economics), who has served as Director since the series inception, Donald Kurnrnings (English), and Richard Rosenberg (Economics). The series popularity stems from a number of things, the first being patron participation. Each spring, the current patrons receive surveys for the next season, which list 40 movie titles and brief descriptions. After considering the choices, the patrons return their votes by the end of the spring semester. Once the surveys are tallied, the professors select the top 14, which will be shown throughout the academic year. This ensures a balance of countries and genres for the audiences' benefit. The patrons then receive a brochure' announcing the selected movies and cost for the season. Another important feature that draws in the crowds is the quality of the films. Norm Cloutier said that the films are, "Anti-Hollywood because they delve deep into [the art of] storytelling and character development." Traditionally, student interest in the series has been low. Professor Cloutier would like to see more students attend the festival. He attributed the lack of interest to the fact that "Most students don't know what a foreign film is. Students may think that they need to speak the language of the film [in order to understand it], This is not Slee 'J.in ',' true. The films are all subtitled." The series success is also due in part to outside sources covering the event. Cloutier stated "In the past few years, we've gotten excellent press coverage from the Kenosha News and the Racine Journal Times." This coverage is beneficial in drumming up new patrons from the community, who are always welcome to join the series at anytime throughout the year. "Foreign films do require a little effort, but they are surprisingly delightful and well worth it. The series provides people with the opportunity of seeinll quality films that they might not otherwise see unless they went to someplace like Chicago," said Cloutier. The series initially costs $25 for all 14 films (a guest may be brought to any three films for free), but as the series progresses the cost is pro-rated down to mclude only the films left. Tickets are only sold as season passes because it ensures excellent attendance, which !>"arantees the success of the series, and It reduces the amount of money handled on campus, thus increasing patrons' security. Including this weeks "Fire," the price is $19 for the 11 films left. The films are shown Thursday through Sunday on selected dates for each film, For more information on tickets, call the Ranger ) Card office at 595-2655. For more information about the movies go to UWParkside's horne web page under "Fun Stuff" and look under events Icalendars. Under this heading students can access brief film descriptions and links to outside sources, which delve deeper into the films being shown. Foreign filBl "Fire" guaranteed to heat things UP I By: Lisa Whitcomb Last weekend, Foreign Film Series patrons were able to go deep into the human psyche with "The Inheritors" an Austrian film that portrayed the darker side of human beings in the face of greed and covetousness. The film dealt with the community pressures placed on seven peasants who were willed a farm. The film, which was set in the beautiful Austrian countryside, took _a dark, serious look at murder, rape, and pillage among the farmers (the haves) and the newly endowed peasants (the tra~litional havenots). The film interjected humor and light fantasy at times to counter balance the ugliness of the mood. This weekend, the series will be showing "Fire" a controversial Indian film that has been critically acclaimed because it explores the intensely personal relationship between two .Indian women. This topic has been taboo in India and never before been portrayed in a film, The Hindu language even lacks a word for lesbianism. The film promises to be an excellent story of innocence and loneliness between two frustrated wives who are sister-in-laws. They finally find the love that they so desperately need, and long for, in the arms of each other. The film is directed by Deepa Mehta, and it is an allegory of social protest against her native country's indifference to women's rights. Tickets for the series can be purchased at anytime through the RangerCard Office at 595-2655 '. and' further film reviews can be found at uwp.edu web sight under the "Fun Stuff" events calendar. The price changes from film to film because the sea_ son is pro-rated for the descending oeder of films, so it is a good idea to call for more information. And still ger to class on time.

UN IV eas ITY IIWI.JCON SIN COLLEGES Italian Americans' baseball breakthrough By Dena Coady' . Making it into Major League Baseball IS a very hard task. Lookingback though, a lot of players have made it into the Majors. The most well known players are Babe Ruth, Jackie Robinson, and Ted Williams. Recently discussed on the second floor of the library was the topic Italian Amencans in Major League Baseball. . . The two famous Italian Amencans are Joe DiMaggio of the past and Mike Piazza of the pr~senl. Speaking of Piazza, he played in the World Senes this year. It was known as the Subway Series this year. Mike Piazza is a catcher for the New York Mets. The Mets played the other team from New York, the Yankees. Although, these two are well known Italian Americans in baseball, they are not the first to break through the Majors. . . The first Italian American to ever play m Major League Baseball was James "ED" Abbaticchio. Abbaticchio's first break in the Majors was With Philadelphia in 1897. That year he only played three games and had ten at bats. With those ten at bats he only had three hits. In 1898 he played in 25 games and had 92 at bats. With the 92 at bats, he had 21 hits. That same year he had 14 runs batted in (RBI). After 1898, Abbaticchio decided to leave the game of baseball and try football. He became the first Italian to play in two major sporting events. In 1903 Abbaticchio went back to baseball. From 1903 to 1905 he played for the Boston Red Sox. His best season with the Red Sox was his last year with them in 1905 when he had 170 hits where.he had 610 at bats. In 1907 Abbaticchio played for the Pittsburgh Pirates until 1910. Abbaticchio had 82 horne runs his highest ever, in his first year with the Pirates. . In 1908, he hit a grand-slam homerun in the last game of the season that was ruled foul and cost the Pirates the National League pennant. Sometime after the end of that season, a woman sued the Pirates for being struck by that homerun ball while watching the game from her seat in fair territory. Abbaticchio will always be known for missing a chance to get his team into the World Series. In 1910 during the middle of the season Abbaticchio was traded to the Boston Red Sox again. This was also his last year of play. He then retired to run his father's hotel. Abbaticchio nickname became known as "Batty. u See the reason why Italian Americans' became involved so much with baseball is because the second generation of Italian irrunigrants in the Ll.S,wanted to be more American like. So they figured in order to do this they 'would get more involved in baseball. After all baseball was and still is seen as the Nations National Past Time. Plus, ifit weren't for Italian Americans we wouldnit know Babe Ruth as the "Great Bambino." Italian Americans were huge fans of the Babe and carne up with that nickname for him. Larry Baldassaro, PH.D coordinator of Italian Studies and Director of the Honors Program at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee was the speaker about Italian Americans in Major League Baseball. Baldassaro was a Boston red Sox fan growing up. He hated the New York Yankees and Joe DiMaggio. He idolized Ted Williams.

That was the scenario Saturday as the Ranger closed out the regular season with a 1-0 win over Saginaw Valley State. UW-Parkside's lone ];oal came from the foot of Raymond James (pictured bottom right). Peer then dished out his 14th whitewash, and in the process tied an NCAA record for most shutout wins in a single season. He tied former UWParkside goalies Stan Anderson and Mark Litton who previously chalked up 14 shutout. Litton is Peer's goalkeeper coach. The Ranger men ended the regular season with an overall record of 14 wins and 4 loses. They were the number four seed heading into the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) tournament. They hosted number five Northern Kentucky yesterday at 1 p.m., which was too late to be included in this issue of The Ranger. The GLVC Final Four will be held at Lewis this coming weekend.

Soccer men win conferencelhost NCAAD2 plaJoff SaturdaJ The UW-Parkside men's soccer team won the Great Lake Valley Conference (GLVC)title with three tournament victories, including a 2-0 win in the championship game Sunday against Quincy College. Coach Rick Kill's' team now takes a shot at the national title starting with a home NCAA Division ITplayoff game Saturday. As has been the case all season, the Rangers relied on the goalkeeping magic of Thorn Peer, a stingy defense, and clutch goal scoring to win the title for the first time after six consecutive trips to the GLVC Final Four. Peer stopped five shots Sunday to record his NCAA Division IT record 17th shutout of the season. The whitewash lowered his nation-leading goals against average to 0.23. UW-Parkside has allowed five goals in 21 games. The clutch goal scoring on Sunday came from Casey Pawlak who tallied with help from Seth Pearson at the 15- minute mark of the title game. Adam Chwala then added an unassisted insurance goal at 44 minutes to secure the title-winning victory. Afterward, Coach Kill'S sounded relieved to have the championship. "We've gone to the well six times now. If we'd come home empty again, 1 don't know what would be next," Kill'S told the Racine Journal Times. "Tills year's team was very deserving. They played exceptionally well this weekend." What's next for the Rangers is an NCAA Division II tournament game against GLVC rival Lewis University. The game will be played Saturday, Nov. 11 starting at 1 p.m. at Wood Road Field. The Rangers had to play almost as well as they did Sunday just to reach the championship game. The march to the title began with a hard fought 2-0 win over Northern Kentucky on Wednesday, Nov. 1. Raymond James scored the winning goal with 4:05 left in the game with assists by Mike Samer and Bill Weidel. Weidel then added an insurance goal with 37 seconds left, and UW-Parkside earned a trip to Romeoville, Ill., for the GLVC Final Four. GOAL! Northern Kentucky's goalkeeper can only watch as a shot by the Ranger's Raymond James, in white second from right, hits the back of the net. The goal started UW-Parkside on the way to the GLVC title. Photo by Jeff Alley. On Saturday, Nov. 4, Dan de Sf. Aubin scored in the 47th minute and Peer was peerless in goal in a 1-0 win over top-seeded Lewis University. Then Peer, and the nation's topranked defense NCAA Division II defense4 brought the title home. "We played ferocious defense," said Kill'S. "We couldn't have done any more then ....we did." ~ ~ Secretarv of Education leads UWP Rallv for Gorellieberman ticket By Sarah Olsen "Everybody is into the business of education," said US Education Secretary Richard Riley, pictured at left, Thursday at the uw-Parkside Communication Arts Theatre. Riley visited the campus as a stop on a final campaign tour to rally support for Democrats Al Gore and Joe Lieberman. Also in attendance and speaking to support Gore / Lieberman was Bob WirCh, 22nd District State Senator. "Today we have both candidates talking about education, and both of them are indicating that certainly education is a priority" says Riley. The "Texas Miracle," according to Riley, is the "myth" Governor Bush has built his campaign on. "Believe me" said Riley, "there is no miracle happening there. All of education [performance] is up and so is Texas." Riley states that SAT scores in Texas have dropped 3 points during the period Governor Bush has been in office, while SAT scores nationally have increased by 9 points. "If [Texas] is a miracle, the country is a miracle," says Riley. Governor Bush claims that the United States is in an education recession, according to Riley. "There is not an education recession. The idea that there is some kind of slump or recession-I disagree," he said. To disprove the second "myth" of an education recession, Riley stated that every test administered nationally has shown significant increases in reading and math skills in 4th, 8th, and 12th grades with more students finishing high school and college. Riley says Al Gore is a strong believer in the federal government having a part in education. "The federal government has a very important role to have priorities that are national in nature, such as our current goal to have smaller class size for those early years when a child is learning how to read, after-school programs, instruction programs, leaving the control in the local and - state schools," said Riley. Gore proposes to increase support programs for college, increase support of work-study, support the Hope scholarship, and support tax deductions for tuition up to $10,000 per person. "1 have known Al Gore for a number of years and I tell you this: he is a _ person of good, strong character. Hehas high values. 1 am certain that you can be very proud of Al Gore as President and Joe Lieberman as VicePresident," Riley stated. -------- Ins ide 3 pNew Library Reading Room Opens Come in, relax ... and study.

ByLisaWhitcomb , ~, I ! I, This semester, the UW-Parkside library has begun to reconstruct the reference area to make that section more comfortable and home-like for the students. About three weeks ago, the Friends' Reading Room opened with the arrival of some great, overstuffed chairs, a sofa, and some end tables, which were largely financed by the Friends of the Library. Friends is a nonrrofit organization that raises funds for thelibrary to help buy needed materials that the library normally could not purchase for itself. Among other wonderful things, they also frequently bring in guest speakers to enricli students' education experience. The lounge is open to anyone during regular library hours and students are welcome to bring drinks or snacks into the area while they read and study. Dina Kaye, library liaison to Friend's of the Library said the idea for the lounge began, "Over a year ago. We decided that we wanted to rearrange and redesign the whole reference area. We are also going to be adding more computers and rearranging that section to make it more user-friendly. Wewanted to make a Barnes and Noble-type lounge where students could come and be comfortable." I Restraining order assistance t Need help in filing a restraining order? There is free help!

Other plans for the section include lowering the shelves, so students do not feel boxed in, homey things like pictures and knickknacks, and more comfortable chairs. In the spring, the library plans to have an dedication of the space and a plaque made at that time. On Nov. 15, 16, & 17 the Friends of the Library will be holding their annual book sale. The sale will run Wednesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Friday 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the upper Main Place concourse. All books cost between $1 and $1.50, and special items will be up for auction. This is how the organization raises a lot of its funds, which purchase things like the new Friends' Reading Room. UW-Parkside students are encouraged to come and browse through the selections that have been donated for the sale. Buying just one book is a great way to say thanks to the Friends of the Library for all of their support. For more information on upcoming library functions, or the Friends of the Library go to UW-Parkside's homepage and look under the library heading. UW-Parkside student Jenny Weis relaxes while stUdyingin the new Friends' of the Library Reading Room. The space is meant to give students comfortable place to read and study. The room is now open for student use with further improvements-pictures, knick-knacks and still more comfy chairs-to be added soon. The Reading Room was made possible by events likethe annual Friends' of the Librarybook sale which willtake place next week. Photo by Sarah Olsen. Who has vour name and address;» Addressing the issue of student information By Gina Ciardo "As a student at UW-Parkside, now you can build a solid credit history with your own Discover Card!" That's fantastic, but how did they get your information? How did they know that you attend UW-Parkside? Does the school make money off your directory information? "Absolutely never is a student's personal information given out to any kind of marketing organization at all," states Cynthia Jenson, the assistant director at the Office of Admissions. She adds, "I can guarantee you that the there is no list of specifics. It's public information. Directory information includes things like a student's name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, date and place of birth, major field of study, participation in activities and sports, degrees and awards received, dates of attendance, recent schools attended, and even the height and weight of athletes .. Any of this information can be obtamed by outside sources. All requests for directory information go through Tonya Hanson, assistant registrar at the Office of th.e Registrar. She req~ures that all orgaruzations and agenCIesaskmg for directory information provide their requests in writing. Hanson's requests range from high schools wanting information about alumni to the U.S. Navy. Often times, perspective employers ask for a list of students in a certain fields of study. Other times, insurance companies verify a student's academic status for purposes of "good student" discounts. Hanson has no record of a request from Discover Financial Services. If the university isn't involved, how is Discover getting this information? When Discover was initially contacted they claimed to obtain student names from mailing lists provided by three major credit bureaus, Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union. Sometimes agencies already have lists . of people on whom they want a credit history, Other times credit bureaus will generate a list for the agency. Dave Mooney, director of Public Relations at the Equifax corporate headquarters in Atlanta was the only one to return my calls. Equifax has credit files on 190 million Americans. That's virtually every adult in the country. Mooney explains that although Equifax is able to generate lists of names using zip codes and other criteria, it would be impossible for them to create a list of people who attend a specific school. He stated that a person's university might appear on a credit file under the heading "employer," but those cases are extremely rare. "The list wasn't generated from us or other credit bureaus. [Discover] came to us with a list," he assures. Since the information Discover obtained is public information, they may have received it from various sources. Discover might have called the university and requested one of the school's directory publications. They might have gone to UW-Parkside's web page and utilized the directory there. It is also possible that one of the organizations that received free information though the Office of the Registrar could have turned around and sold it to someone else. As of yet, Discover has not returned any calls regarding this. Students concerned with the utilization of their directory information can get a "Request to Withhold Student Information" form at the Student Records Office. "I really caution people not to do that," states Hanson. She is concerned students doing so will miss valuable opportunities from area employers and oilier such agencies. Once students fill .out the form, UW-Parkside needs a written statement from them releasing their information every time someone requests it. As yet, there's no way for the Office of the Registrar to distinguish who gets the information and who does not according to an individuals wishes.

By Julie Thompson Anyone who works or lives with teens will find the symposium going on today and tomorrow at UWParkside valuable and perhaps necessary in helping them detect warning signs of at risk adolescent behavior. Being held in the UW-Parkside Union Cinema Theater, it is titled Kids, Cults, Guns, Gangs, and Violence. Margaret Gename, director of Youth Programs and symposium coordinator stated, "This [program] is based upon all the violence that is happening within the community." The goal of the program is to arm parents, youth development professionals, educators, counselors, law enforcement agents, psychologists, and clergy, with the knowledge needed to identify warning signs present in adolescents at risk of partaking in violent or occult organization.

Flu Vaccine Shortage Affecting UW-Parkside Students By Julie Thompson Don't let the cycle of mild weather fool you. Although, the weather throughout southeastern Wisconsin has been mild, flu season is approaching quickly. Unfortunately, like the rest of the nation, UW-Parkslde students will feel the effects of the flu vaccine shortage. Director of Student Health and Counseling Services, Michaelina Young, has been issuing e-mails to students and faculty members with updates on the vaccine shortage. The first e-mail was issued in September, with a glimmer of hope that UW-Parkside would receive 16% of the shipment by rnrd-October; 58% in November and the balance in December. But, October has come and gone and the staff at Student Health and Counseling Services is still waiting. Since the vaccine is effective 75% of the time, those who are high-risk should receive the vaccine as soon as it is available. People who are considered high risk are those who have depressed immune systems, the elderly (65 or older), have respiratory problems, and those who have occupations that put them at risk, such as health care workers. People who are not at risk are asked to wait until the shortage is over, allowing those who need it most the opportunity to avoid complications associated with the flu. In the meantime, Michaelina Young said, "Practice habits that help to avoid catching or spreading the flu and common cold: wash your hands often, cover your mouth when you cough, and don't share food and drinks." With any luck, UW-Parkside will be receiving partial shipment soon. According to a brochure from Student Heath and Counselinf( Services, !yJJical flu symptoms include muscle aches, fever and chills, headache, dry cough, and weakness. November 9, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 6 UWP students prep for Hunger Strike Nov. 15 UW-Parkside graduating communication students will stage Hunger Strike 2000, an event to help the homeless, Wednesday, Nov. 15. The Senior Seminar class will raise money and collect non-perishable food items with all proceeds going to the Shalom Center, an organization that provides food and shelter for Kenosha area homeless people .. Hunger Strike 2000 activities include a bowling fund-raiser and an overnight sleep-out. Starting at 5 p.m., members of the UW-Parkside Faculty and Staff Bowling League and Senior Seminar class members will bowl in the Student Union. They will raise money through pledges for each pin knocked down and fhrough general donations. Non-perishable food will be collected at that time. At 9 p.m., the event moves outside. Senior Seminar students will sleep outdoors to simulate the harsh conditions that face the homeless and to raise awareness of the less fortunate. "There are hungry ,People in southeastern Wisconsin,' said Senior Seminar class member Michaela Gaines. "These people need of our help. Any support people at UWParkside and ill the community can give us is appreciated." Hunger Strike 2000 coincides with National Homeless Awareness Week. Along with food and money, Senior Seminar class members will make a personal commitment to the homeless by donating a minimum of 20 volunteer hours per person to the Shalom Center. Remarkable Computer Programmers <> train at UW-Parkside by Dan Frake Earlier this year, UW Parkside Professor of Math Don Piele and a group of four high school students from across the U.S. competed in Beijing, China at the International Olympiad on Informatics (101). They came away with a few medals and a sense of having accomplished something truly admirable. Prior to 1992, Professor Piele was the organizer of a nation-wide competition called USACO, a competition here in the u.s. for high school computer programmers. Then, in 1992, Professor Piele learned of the 101 and the rest, as they say, is history. Ever since 1992, Professor Piele has been taking his teams all over the world for 101 competitions. This year's competition, in China, turned out to be the most successful to date. You may ask, though, how do computer programmers compete? The premise of such competitions as USACO and 101 is fairly simple: Students are given problems and then tested on their ability to solve them. The only difference between them solving the problems and other less-advanced people IS that we use pencil and paper while they use computers and deal with algorithms to solve their problems. This does not include writing applications, but rather involves creating programs using codes that solve the problems, and then testing those programs with different sets of data. Speed and accuracy are the key. Sounds a little advanced, doesn't it? Well, to the participants in these competitions, it's just another day trying to make their programs just a little faster in order to gain the ed~ over other programs. The fact that the participants for these competitions are high school students is remarkable in and of itself. What's even more spectacular, however, is that this group of "the best and the brightest of our nation," according to Piele, meet right here at UWP for training once a year. Forget MIT or Stanford. The training grounds for some of the smartest kids in the U.S. is here. Every year, on-line tests and school administered tests are taken around the country to determine the top 15 programmers. Then, for one week, those 15 students are brought to UWp, all expenses paid, for an intensive training regime. Students are tested in their experience of solving problems, taught the best strategies, and given presentations on various techniques. In addition, they spend some free time playing disc golf and visiting Great America. Then, at the end of the week, the top four students are selected to accompany Professor Piele to whichever country the 101 is being held in that particular year. From there, they travel to that country for another all-expenses paid week competing against the best and the brightest of the world. USACO is a national competition headed by Professor Piele. They hold many competitions throughout the year. For more information, you can go to www.usaco.org. There, you can find information on the US team, details about its various competitions, details on the 101, and an archive of photos from the training camp and the competition in China. For additional photos, you can go to www.zing.com and select the "albums" menu, and type in ioi 2000 or usaco 2000. Again, congratulations to Professor Piele and his team for a job well-done in representing the u.s. overseas once again. j, , j Yo=areinvited to comejo;n us ana sleep undpneatl!. the stars at UW·ParlcSidei WM: Everyone " WI!Irt: Help us raise money and collect food for the Shalom Center.

Photo by Connor Buchanan DeWitt named GLUe coach of the vear By Zach Robertson Inhis 20th season as coach of the UWParkside women's cross country team, MikeDeWitt has won his second conference championship, and was named GLVCcoach of the year. DeWitt won his first conference title in 1995.He was also named coach of the year that season. After guiding his runners to a win at the conference meet, and leading them through a season that saw only one loss, the rest of the league had no problem giving him this award. . "It's nice that the other coaches in the conference recognize that we had a good year. To me, it's not an important thmg, but it's definitely an honor, and something I don't look lightly at," said DeWitt. DeWitt credited his teams success to the consistency his runners showed all year. "We had a real solid group, with everyone hitting their average time," said DeWitt. "This team has been really good in that aspect, being able to know what they're going to do in every race." With all but three members of the team back next year, DeWitt is looking for another great season from his runners next year. "That's one thing about distance running, you tend to get better every year", said DeWitt. DeWitt also hopes this will help bring more attention to UW-Parkside sports. "1 think one of the things the university is trying to do is get more of an athletic identity for the whole place. Hopefully, this shows that the university is heading in the right direction for all sports," he said. The team now heads for the nationals in Pomona, Cal., after placing fourth in the Regional meet last Saturday, in Ashland, Ohio. DeWitt felt strongly that his young team would run well at the regional meet. "It will take our best race of the year to do it," he said before the race. "Every girl has to do her part." UWP women's CC goes national With Amber Antonia leading the pack, the UW-Parkside women's cross country team is on its way to the NCAA Division II nationals in Pomona, Cal., on Saturday, Nov. 18. Coach Mike DeWitt's team secured the fourth and final berth by capturing fourth place at the regional meet in Ashland, Ohio, last Saturday. Antonia won the individual title by crossing the finish line with a time of 21:54,six seconds ahead of the second place finisher. UW-Parkside's Erin Enright finished in 17th place, exactly one minute behind Antonia, while Janna Weeden finished 20th with a time of 22:55. The Ranger men finished in eighth place with a team total of 218. Davey Place was the Rangers tor runner, finishing in 18th place with a time of 32:49. Congratulations to coach DeWitt and the UW-Parkside women's cross country team, and good luck at the nationals! . If last !h~rsday' s exhibition game IS any indication, UW-Parkside's opponents better bring their track shoes when they play the Ranger men's basketball team. Coach Jeff Rutter's team used a high-octane offense to go along with a tight defense to blast Coach Rudy's All-Stars 88-70at the De Simone Gymnasium. Led by the outside shooting of Brian Coffman, who had 17 points, the Rangers used quick strikes down the floor by Marlon Grice and Tom BeJlino to get Rudy Collum's team on its heels. That left Coffman open for repeated three-point shots. Kevin Carp chipped in 13 and Quincey Momen contributed 12 including a tli.underous slam dunk that measured on the Richter scale in downtown Kenosha. Nick Knuth cleared eight rebounds. Although Coach Rudy's team won the opening tip, that was about the only tbing that went right for them in the first half. Made up of former college players mainly from Racine, the All-Stars fell behind early and finished to half trailing UW-Parkside 44-25. After trailing by more than 30 in the second half, the All-Stars showed some pride and took advantage of the Rangers' less experienced players to get the deficit under 20 by tli.e final hom. Marcus West and Brad Kellner led Coach Rudy's with 12 points. Hayes Ford had 11 and seven rebounds. The Rangers not only showed they'll be fast but also that they'll be feisty this year. Tom BeJlino refused to be intimidated when West, formerly of Marquette University, got physical late in tli.e second half. Both players were given fouls after exchanging elbows. Coach Rutter said lie was pleased with the game, adding there were plenty of things to work on before the Rangers could consider themselves favorites for the NCAA Division II title. The next step on the road the Final Four comes on Saturday. The Rangers host an exhibition game against Las Vegas Funjet at 8 p.m. in the De Simone Gymnasium. Fans can preview the 2000-2001UWParkside women's basketball team on Saturday. Coach Paulette Stein's squad plays an exhibition against Odyssey starting at 6J.m.

Women's team reaches finals It took the biggest upset of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) tournament to get there, but the UW-Parkside women's soccer team was at Northern Kentucky last weekend for the conference finals. The Rangers, who came in as the number seven seed, beat number two-seed SIU-Edwardsville at Edwardsville, Ill., to advance before being eliminated by Missouri-St Louis 4-1 on Saturday, Nov. 4. Getting there was definitely part of the fun. Not only did coaeli Troy Fabiano's team beat SIU-Edwardsville on their horne field, they shut them out in the process. While goalkeeper Marissa Monroe-DeVita refused to allow a goal, Byranna [urvis scored two and the team had its ticket punched for the Final Four. After eliminating UW-Parkside in Saturday's semi-finals, UMSL was then defeated by host Northern Kentucky 4-1 in Sunday's championship game. UW-Parkside ends the season with an overall record of 11 wins, six loses, and two ties. Congratulations to the women's soccer team on a great season!

All I heard was formal bickering issued by my fellow man that night. Not one single speaker could go undaunted by the accusations of another. I heard adamant opinions and progression wane on a topic that is not only rarely discussed, but is often regarded as an abhorrent subject to be spoken of at any table: the tender issue ofhomosexuality and religion. UW-Parkside's Gay and Lesbian Organization (GLO) discussion group organizer, Joey Lalor, orchestrated the gathering for the guest speaker on this topic, the Rev. Tony Larsen. At the beginning of the meeting, the Rev. Larsen declared that he would be speaking of this questionable venture through a Christian / Judaic perspective in all due respect to other religions or creeds, and that he wanted to highlight three passages in the Bible that only specified the plausibility of homosexuality. He wouldn't get that far; the ceaseless noise entreated. From the initiation of the conference, I tallied ten students to subtract that number to seven by the time of adjourning of my peers.. Of the remaining seven, including myself, I felt the wedge that was apparent from the start drive deeper between two sets of three speakers. It was a vocal war in the upstairs library with three for freedom to live with being who you are and three with restraining the questionable sin of homosexuality. The Rev. Larsen initially made his foreknowledge known by indicating that the Old Testament of the Bible had no reference to lesbianism, but indicated in Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind: it is abomination." He then said the Bible said man cannot eat meat or burn incense, or paint a picture, for it would be a sin. Although, he spoke of them, he never informed on their citations in the Bible, yet I'm no one to research such a burdening topic, so I believed him and respected his ordained knowledge. The discussion barely commenced past this point when the first intrusion occurred. One of the guest students would speak and cite from the Bible on the opposition of doing something that was considered a sin, and either the reverend or other guest students would intervene with their brief, interrupting thoughts on the debatable quote. The two sides would yammer back in forth. One side would dictate the word of God as being final, and Weekend PISS ~ Good for the academic year of 2000-2001 Free bowling. pool and ping pong.

Back and forth went continuous arguing, and I do believe there were only minor instances where quiet blanketed the room. It was when someone from the free will side mentioned the possibility of genetics being the cause of homosexuality, and then after a momentary pause in this continual clamor, the two sides aptly began disputing their differences again. I was merely a spectator until I denoted the possibility of desiring something came from the hil?,pocampus in the brain, but now I can t recall the purpose I had for addressing that statement. As a society, we enter a new millennium in complete disillusionment of peace. We believe that we are all different, and that's accepted, but only people lie, because most feel they don't want to hurt anyone, or even worse, they're ignorant about some differences. We believe the mean, contemptible people confess the truth we bury deep inside, but only by speaking the truth about difficult topics will we forge progress in our society, or so we say also. I had ambivalent thoughts on what to expect from this discussion. Hopefully, everyone who attended could have learned from one another and went home with a fresh understanding, but I don't believe a single person's perception budged an inch in a new direction. Unfortunately, it was as heated a discussion as I feared. We didn't talk about homosexuality and religion, instead the two sides picked up the good book and started flinging slander at each other as if they were so omniscient about the subject, and that they were right, and anyone else was wrong in their eyes. I'm not saying they were mean to each other. It wasn't a gang war, but if we were all less civilized, I do believe I'd hear some threats and see some punches tossed before the night concluded. All I know is I lost a numerous account of respect for my fellow man that night, . and that's just sad. I go to school to learn and formally debate and coincide with peers and just plain mature into a steady progression of civility, to suddenly discover that we can revert to childishsquabbling in a matter of seconds.

Issue 10 Vo1.30 ------~~~~~~~rr =~~~~~-~~~~ Enrollment numbers show growth by Julie Thompson The numbers are finally in, and the results are positive. On the final day of October, UWParkside's Assistant Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management, Alan Crist, received the final stats on fall enrollment. The statistics compare current enrollment--4,969 students-to those of fall 1998 and 1999--4,655 and 4,955, respectively. But what do all these numbers mean to UW-Parkside students? "Enrollment went up slightly," Crist said. "We increased our headcount by .28 percent and full-time e'luivalent [FIE] by .85 percent [to 3,561]. ' FIE is the number used for funding by the University of Wisconsin System. One or more students totaling 15 credits is considered one FTE by the System. Although the numbers appear small, they amount to an increase of more than 300 additional students roaming the halls of UW-Parkside since fall of 1998. "This is continuing the trend that we've got more full-time students enrolling than part-time students." Crist said. When asked the cause of the increases, Crist added, "Primarily, it's due to the fact that we have a new residence hall on campus." However, the decrease in part-time and non-traditional students, he said, "It's due to the good economy; people working, full-time employment. So people don't take as much time for school as they might otherwise." The numbers show there has been a minimal change in the breakdown of Racine, Kenosha and Milwaukee students since fall of 1999. Enrollment of Kenosha County (1,873 students) rose by 1.08 percent, or 20 additional students (162 more students than 1998). However, Racine County enrollment (1,690 students) was slightly down, a drop of 1.63 percent from last year's figure of 1,718. When considering the change in these numbers, Crist said, "I thirik it's probably more due to the population shift. I think Kenosha is growing faster than Racine County." Milwaukee County figures showed the largest change, with a decrease of 4.21 percent, or 23 fewer students from 1999 to 2000 (546 down to 523). The student population at UW-Parkside is more diverse. Enrollment data showed the number of African American students increased by 5.1 percent to 412; the Hispanic student population increased by 4.1 percent to 305; Asian Americans increased by 9.9 percent to 111 students; Native American students increased 8 percent to 27. The number of international students also rose, increasing by 60.5 percent to 61 students from 23 different countries. Meanwhile, the white student population showed a decrease of 1.29 percent to 4,053. That number is still 154 ahead of the 3,899 white students enrolled in fall 1998. With the exception of that final number, Crist sees the enrollment numbers as positive. "This is encouraging. We want to increase the diversity overall of our campus population, and provide opportunities for all students to have a diverse population," Crist stated. When considering what the latest enrollment statistics suggest, Crist said, "Overall, the trends are showing that we are continuing to have growth. Although, we've slowed down somewhat, we're within the range of our target that was established by System, which was less than a half percent under what we ideally want it to be at, but it's within the range of acceptability." As far as meeting the needs of the surrounding community, Crist stated, "We don't want to just be churning out graduates, we want to be thinking about the needs of the community." So, after consulting with the surrounding community about specific needs, UW-Parkside has corne up with future plans which include a new certificate program in Global Studies, a Masters of Public Administration (MPA) program, and a Master of Computer and Information Sciences program. "We can be a place for students who are looking for a campus that has quality faculty and programs, and has those large campus advantages, but [also] small campus advantages of clear access to faculty, smaller class sizes, and clear potential for involvement on the campus," he said.

International Club hosts lorum on Mid-East conllicttonight at 6 By Lisa Whitcomb "A Historical Background of the Palestinian/Israeli Conflict" will be the topic of discussion tonight at UWParkside. Sponsored by the Parkside Internatiomil Club (PIC), the forum takes place from 6 to 9 p.m. in Molinaro D-105. The session is open to all students, and will count as a valid Passport Session for Freshman Seminar classes. The forum will take a serious look at why there is no peace in the Middle East, and what actions will be necessary in order to achieve peace. Guest speakers include Dr. Marwan Wafa, dean of the School of Business and Technology, and Aaron Snyder, associate professor of Philosophy, who will lead the discussion. Everyone is invited to ask questions or express their thoughts during the time allotted for open mike. "Students should take the time to learn more about the Middle East conflict and peace rrocesses because our country, the Uruted States, is directly involved in both," said Tarik Hamdam, PIC president. "While our country holds peace talks, it also provides the Israeli Army with the funding and technology it needs to have one of the most advanced militaries in the world." Hamdam is concerned about people forming their opinions about the Middle East conflict solely from watching 20-second news clips on CNN. He encourages students to come and hear all sides of the story before forming a final opinion.

November 16, 2000 Page 3 A Different Voice On reading and collecting books By Andrew M. McLean, Professor of En lish Y love books. Ever since I can remember, books have been important in my life. My mom read detective mystery stories nightly; Agatha Christie was her favorite. My father only read newspapers. But at some point he bought a set of Charles Dickens for the house. They were the only books in my childhood home. I was fortunate to have a wonderful public library within walking distance from my home. Here is where savvy librarians fed by nascent love for books, and my growing appetite for reading. Each week they'd suggest books for me to read, and I, of course, said "OK." I was a willing consumer. In junior high school I actually worked in the school library where Mrs. Gottschalk, it's clear in retrospect, carefully fed my love for books. She even gave me books as a present on different occasions. [was fast moving away from reading Classic Comics, to reading the real classic books. [still recall the excitement of reading Stevenson's "The Black Arrow" and Cooper's 'The Last of the Mohicans." [was living in Saxon, England, and walked along paths with the Deerslayer. My high school English teacher, Mr. Eisenbach, suggested books for me to read and write about. (I still have a couple of these book reports, and I read them each year before teaching my The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Andrew McLean, professor of English, Is the owner of Martha Merrell's Book· shop and The Old Book Corner, 312 Sixth St. in downtown Racine. freshmen classes.) When [realized my buddy John McCormick was still reading his first book while I had already read and reported on three, I asked Mr. Eisenbach, "What gives?" IIWell," he said, "you're able to read more than John." [couldn't argue with that, so I kept on reading the books he suggested. [enjoyed them immensely. I entered new worlds with each book. Lewis's HElmer Gantry," Rolvaag's "Giants in the Earth," or the exciting life of William Pitt, the Younger. I really became a reader in college. This was partly due to the required reading for classes. My American history class, for example, required I read and make notes on 300 pages a week of outside reading in addition to reading the textbook. But I became a reader more because I wanted to know everything. And books were the way to knowledge. I remember, for example, taking acourse on theater history, and as the only freshman in the class, [felt totally unprepared. We talked about Greek plays I had never heard about and certainly had never read. So, I went to the library and. checked out the complete Greek plays (three volumes), and read them in one weekend. [continued reading dozens of plays as the course continued. Mar- [owe? Ibsen? Shaw? All blanks in my knowledge, but not for long. I went to a college that valued intellectual life, that promoted discussion of ideas, and encouraged reading material beyond what was on the syllabus. This was just expected. ,[ recall, for example, how Dr. Fehner began each discussion of a seventeenth-eentury writer by recommending one or two good studies of the author. It was just the thing to do, to read at least one of these recommended studies. In fact, it was reading these books that got me hooked on the English Renaissance, the area of my future "expertise." It was while in college that I started to build my own library. This consisted not so much of textbooks, but of studies about the authors I liked to read, of other books written by these authors, and books I'd heard about and knew that one day I'd need to read them. I used to frequent used bookshops in Minneapolis and New York, and feel rewarded when I bought a few good used copies of famous books I hadn't read. And at this time paperback books for college students were just beginning to appear. How wonderful it was to buy the complete poetry of John Donne in a paperback edition for fifty cents! This was the beginning of my adult passion for buying and' collecting books. In graduate school I made my beer .money by buying books at estate sales for a dime or a quarter, and selling them for· twice as much to the local used book dealer. [didn't understand why he'd often give me a $1 or $5 for a book. He soon introduced me to the world of first editions, limited printings, and fine bindings that is the world of the real book collector. When I arrived in Kenosha to teach at UWParkside, I brought with me my love of reading, and my enthusiasm for collecting books. This enthusiasm grew over the years, first as a collector of Renaissance books, then as an appraiser of books for other people, and finally, to establishing my own bookshop, Martha Merrell's Bookshop & The Old Book Comer, 312 Sixth St., in downtown Racine. (Ms. Merrell, a librarian, started the store in 1947.) In a way, my bookshop is my biggest collection of books, and my rrivate library open to the public. stock books I think people should read. I enjoy offering the fruits of my collection to the public. It's nice to be surrounded by books, to talk about them with others, and to share them with whomever is interested. Books continue to open up new worlds to me, to help me understand myself, and to help me live a meaningful life. This is the joy and the excitement of being a reader and of loving books. Student Voices Should the electoral vote or the popular vote decide the presidency? Jennifer Huntington "It would be nice if the popular vote determined who would win. 1think the electoral vote is outdated." Jenell Dixon "I think the electoral vote should determine the presidency, just because that's the way it's always been done. The electoral is the way it is, so 1 think that's how it should be." Craig Harff "I don't believe in the electoral vote, personally." Vikram Sidhu "I think the popular vote is the better option because people should have the right to decide." November 16, 2000 Page 4 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Interactive Class Is Window To World By Lisa Whitcomb This semester, UW-Parkside has added_ a new language to its foreign language roster. The 4-credit class is Introduction to Russian and it meets everyday except VVednesday in the Communication Arts media services room from 10 to 10:50 a.rn, UW-Parkside does not have a professor on site to teach the class. Instead students videoconference with professor Robert Price from UW-Stevens Point. While Prof. Price is fluent in Russian, he cannot successfully run the program for this campus alone. Professor Siegfried Christoph, department of Modem Languages chair, approached Anastasia Ryzhicova last spring, who is a native born Russian and an international student at UW-Parkside, to facilitate the course. Ryzhicova is a sophomore majoring in Management Information Systems. She was born and raised in Moscow, but has been in the United States on visa for high school and collel1e. She agreed to facilitate the "live feed, interactive class with Professor Price for this semester and next. The distance learning is televised live every morning from UVV-SP.UW-Parkside students can see, hear, and speak with the professor and the UW-Stevens Point students. There are 11 students enrolled at UW-Parkside and 13 at UW-SP. The students come from a variety of schol arly departments-Drama, Business, and Science. There also are students who have ethnic ties to the lan(;Uage and want to learn more about their cultural history. Some students are taking the course because they will be traveling to Moscow in the spring with Professor Oliver Hayward from the History department. After Professor Price teaches each lesson, he faxes Ryzhicova tests and homework assignments, which she passes out and then recollects to fax back on a daily basis. She is also on hand to provide needed support and guidance when students have trouble with the language. Professor Price uses a device called ELMO (like an overhead projector for the camera) to introduce new words and concepts. In addition to learning the language, the students talk with each other about cultural differences and similarities, and jointly watch cartoons and movies spoken in Russian, so they can apply their new knowledge. Ryzhicova also meets with her students outside of class every Tuesday from 11 a.m. to noon for a lunch study group. "Ithink it is a great thing to share my Culture, and I'm really enthusiastic about it. It's a pleasure to come to this class and the students are doing really well," she said. Maria Dimitrova, an international student from Bulgaria who is taking the class said, "It is one of my best classes. I like the professor, the assistant [Ryzhicova], and the kids in the class are nice." Dimitrova already knows some Russian, but is taking the class to renew and improve her knowledge of the IanguS~~ added, "My major is international business and to know the language will be helpful." She plans on spending a semester abroad ill Russia to inunerse herself in the culture and the language before she graduates. Dimitrova stresses the importance of cultural diversity, especially in business because America is not the only culture in the world and it is important to learn about other people. Taking Russian is a great way to do this she promises, addirig "The professor can not only give you the grammar in the class, but stories from his experi ences in Russia [as well]: The RUSSIan Cyrillic alphabet IS slightly different from the English alphabet because there are 33 letters while English has 26 letters. Learning Russian provides a basis for learning other European languages in that Hative American Traveling Museum visits UW-Parkside Nov. 6 By Sarah Olsen Anyone near Main Place on Monday, Nov. 6 would have heard native singing, drums, and flutes enchanting students and faculty. The Native American Traveling Museum of SouthEastern VVisconsinbrought the culture, history, and artifacts of the Oneida Nation to campus. The traveling museum was established in 1997 and is comprised of four facilitators: Bob and Patricia Ulrich, Debbie Ushakow and Priscilla Zakhar. All three women are Oneida Nation tribal members while Bob Ulrich, Patricia's husband, is of German descent. The four volunteers were trained and educated by official Oneida tribal representatives. The traveling museum presentation is educational and fun, and is a handson program. The exhibit is comprised of over $6,000 worth of material including a small scale Oneida longhouse, clothing of the past and present, food, crafts, games, and music. Any of the artifacts on display are available for touching, handlfug, and exploring. Facilitators encourage students to ask questions not only about the museum artifacts, but also about the Oneida Nation. The museum was invited by Rita SteckIing from the Office of Equity and Diversity, and, by Sacred Circle. The museum will return in February for a pow-wow that is sponsored by Sacred Circle. More information about the pow-wow will be printed in upcoming ISSUesof The Ranger. UW-Parkside students participate in an interactive long-dIstance class with UWStevens Point. "Introduction to Russian" meets every day except Wednesday from 10-10:50 a.m. in the Communication Arts media services room. "The class is offered nowhere else in [Racine and Kenosha], so UW-Parkside students have the comparative advantage," said Ryzhicova. Part two will be offered in the spring and is open to anyone who can meet the prere9,uisites. Dimitrova strongly reiterates, 'Spanish is a good language to learn, but if you want a perspective for the world, and not just the American continents, then it is a good idea to come and take Russian." For more information about the course contact the Department of Modem Languages at 595-2331. region, such as Serbian, Slavic, <;:zech, Polish, Ukrainian, and Bulganan to name a few. Learning the language is also helpful when someone wants to immense him or herself into Russian art because it enhances a person's understanding - and appreciation of Russian literature, ballets, plays, and operas. "Russia has some great cultural writers like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky and it is nice to read their work in its original language because meanings for words are frequently lost in the translation," Ryzhicova pointed out. Selling the record straight In the article titled "VVho has your name and address?' ill the Nov. 9 edi tion the arncle shouid have read: . Absolutely never is a student's personal information given out to any kind of marketing organization at all," states Cyntha Jensen, the assistant director at the Office of Admissions. She adds, "I can guarantee you that the closest guarders of your personal information will be the University." She's right. In fact, there ISa Federal law that protecrs Ine privacy of student educational records. It's the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It regulates what information a school can give out and to whom it is released. Generally, the Privacy Act only allows schools to release records to a specific list of organizations and officials, but when it comes to directory information, there is no list of specifics.

Little Nicky, the youngest of Satan's three sons, is the sweetest little devil the Anti-Christ could hope for. "Little Nicky" is a hellish comedy "about a guy falling in love, and saving his dad. Itjust happens to take place between heaven and hell" says Allen . Covert, Adam Sandler's co-star and cowriter. The adventure begins when Little Nicky's older, bullying brothers escape through the Gates of Hades, causing the path of hell to freeze over. The brothers disrupt the balance between good and evil when they attempt to create a new hell on earth. Nicky's dad (Harvey Keitel) literally "goes to pieces" while the brothers launch their sinister rampage. As Satan becomes weaker, he leaves it up to Little Nicky to save the world. Nicky leaves the safety of the underworld to face the dangers of New York City. In the attempt to recapture his brothers, he must learn certain human necessities such as sleeping and eating. His only help takes the form of a sarcastic, talking bulldog named Beefy. As the time of destruction draws near, Little Nicky must learn how to "release the evil within himself. His crusade takes hilariously funny twists when he meets and instantly falls in love with Valerie, played by Patricia Arquette, and two heavy metal and heavily drugged servants of Satan, Peter Dante and Jonathan Loughran. The inspiration for Little Nicky's character came from Sandler's childhood. "There was this kid in my Adam Sandler is Lillie Nicky, a shy, sweet, devilishly funny son of Satan. What makes acting worth the effort? "1 like tryin9, to make people laugh" says Sandler .. '1 like people who stop and talk to me on the street. That's the best part for me. That's why 1 got into [comedy]." Sandler jokes the only reason Covert likes acting is because he's a social butterfly. "He's psychotic ...He likes being on the set because there's lots of people to talk to." Sandler attributes his success as stand-up comedian turned film star / writer to two important things: family and friends. His parents have been an inspiration to continue his career, and his friends, while co-starring in many of his films, have pushed him to venture into new genres of entertainment. "The best thing 1did in my life and my career is to have a lot of friends" says Sandler. hometown who talked like Little Nicky and he was the king of rock'n roll facts" says Sandler. Many of the characters Sandler has played over the years are embellished impersonations of childhood friends. "Little. Nicky," an addition to a long list of classic comedies b} Sandler, took a little over a year to write. "The idea was the eaST part" says Sandler. "Little Nicky' may seem fun to the eye of the viewer, however, writing, filming, and producing is a time-consuming rrocess. "Writing is hard, but when you do come up with something funny, then it's the best" says Covert. Sandler and Covert spend 12 to 14 hour days shooting on the set. "We take it serious" says Sandler. IIWe work hard at it." Adam Sandler held a preview screening lor his new film "Lillie Nicky" Nov.1 in Chicago. Sarah Olsen (left) and Christine Agaiby allended a press conference at The House of Blues Hotel where they met Sandler and Allen Covert his co-star and co-writer. uwp presents Brazilian art in Racine .for the program was provided through an RAC grant, and by the Brazil-US Institute in Ceara.

The University, working with the Racine Arts Council (RAC), is presenting "Coisas de Terra" (Things From Our Land), an exhibition of Brazilian art at the RAC Gallery through Nov. 30, 2000. The Gallery is located at 345 Main St., Racine. The exhibit's nearly two dozen pieces include photography, designs, and traditional woodcuts by artists from Fortaleza, Brazil, Racine's sister city. UW-Parkside Professor of History Gerald Greenfield, along with Brazil's Dr. Eliane Frota, were instrumental in making the display a reality.
