ULMER Forcing a smile, UW-Parkside police officer Marlene Schlecht contemplates a future without police work. This month, Schlecht received a 3D-day termination due to injuries she had acquired while on the job. Starting December 31, Schlecht will no longer be employed at UW- Parkside. According t6 the decision, she is not fit for duty. Under the conditions of her termination, she also loses her eligibility for police-force employment elsewhere. "The police department issued the letter, but this is more of a human resources issue:' said Chief of Police Michael Marzion. "I signed the papers, but I didn't necessarily make the decision." Three years ago, Schlecht helped a student start his car by jump-starting it. While she stood in front of the student's car, he popped the clutch and ran into her, causing nerve damage to both her knees. '"'I wasn't sure what to do," said Schlecht. "I wrapped my knees in ice packs and called in another officer. I filled out a form saying I bad been injured on the job. Only later did I find out I was supposed to write my own accident report." After physical therapy, Schlecht has been restricted to what is considered "limited" duty, In other words, she does not work on the street but does office-type work. ''1 was injured, and T tried to get back to work as soon as I could." said schlecht. "I chose to stay at Parkside because I love the students, and I love the school." For the past 23 years, ScWecht has worked with several organizations to prevent and counsel victims of sexual a~sault, domestic and dating violence, and stalking. These organizations include Crime Stopers, Women's Horizons Pathways of Courage, and the Parkside Violence Prevention Project. One of her special projects, Advocates Supporting Parkside and Educating for Non- Violence (ASPEN), "includes training for advocates that will provide services and support for victims of sexual assault dating/domestic violence and stalking and who will also assist in educating the community for nonviolence," according to an ASPEN pamphlet. "I have been working and trying to be proactive to prevent students from becoming victims and helping victims become survivors" said Schlecht. ' Schlecht also wrote a grant to bring the UW-Parkside police department up to date with technological standards. This grant enabled campus police to purchase new" computers that ensure that student files remain protected and confidential. Although Schlecht could have applied for retirement in two years. she will now be denied retirement benefits due to her termination. In order to prove she can continue to work in her current physical state, Schlecht would need to gain the approval of at least three doctors. "The problem is that they want a guarantee that my knees won't give out," said Schlecht "No doctor can give a guarantee like that." At the state level, one vote overturned the ruling or Schlecht'< injury as a case or "hazardous duty:' This decision largely impacted the current situation. "Hazardous duty qualifies the officer for different sorts of pay:' said Manion. "1\ also affects how the situation is dealt with." Representing all campus police. the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association (WLEA) ha also taken an interest in this case. According to Schlecht. this police force union believes that the decision in her situation may create a precedent for future injury cases in the state. After leaving UW-Parkside, Schlecht plans to continue her work with victims of violence through volunteer work with her church. BY NICK HONECK Reapplying for funds from the Segregated University Funds Allocation Committee (SUFAC) IS a process that major-status organizations go through every ~ear at this time. The process IS a long one, but when they are over, organizations secure their funding for the next school year. The process begins when the organizations are given their Budget Proposal Packets. Contained within the packet are sheets about the 2006- 2007 Spending Guidelines, appropriate and inappropriate segregated fee expenditures. a budget-request questionnaire, an officer payroll sheet, and the individual and budget summary breakdown sheets. As reported in the last issue of The Ranger News, organizations will only be allowed to ask for the same budget they received last year. Before the budget sheet.' can be completed, the budget must be approved by a general assembly from the organization. This is a new step in the process for this year. Once the packets are completed by the organization, they are sent back to SUFAC. Copies are then made and distributed to the DIne members of SUFAC. They are asked La read over the copies so they have some background knowledge of what the organizations are a..king for. Then. the orgunizanen presents Its budget 10 SlJFAC lor 10 minutes. This pre ..entation highlights how much moncv Ihe orgunization need, and goes uno detail about what they \Iotll spend it on. The organization may also include information about how they have served the liW- Parkside community. After the 100mlOute presentation. SLFA members hav e 10 minutes to qucsuon the organization ... about their budgets for the follow 109 school year. The question may deal" uh things like tnps that organizations want to take. as well as how much they "ill spend on office supplies. A cap of 1.500 has been set on office supply spending for 2006- '07. . After the question-and- answer period. the SUFAC members then take ten minutes to vote on how much they want to give to the organization.

Letter From The Editor This issue marks the end of another semester for The Ranger News. : I am confident in saying that out staff has not only succeeded in bringing the newspaper to yet a higher level in terms of design quality and journalistic integrity, but the commitment and dedication of our staff has proven to be as solid as it ever was. Though it feels like it has been a long semester, I can look at the far wall in the news office and see the previous 13 newspapers we have published in the past three months. We have certainly made the most valuable use of our time. There were a few snags along the way - this being our first semester printing weekly - but we always pulled through. After winter break, we will be back on the scene, ready to take the spring semester head-on. Our Wednesday workshops, which were also new this semester, have added an extremely useful benefit to the news staff and students of UW-Parkside. These have focused on everything from basic reporting to photojournalism to design and layout. Our workshops have not only increased the value of the content of the newspaper, but also of the education students here receive. As expected, we have had conflicts with student government and administration this semester, but these conflicts will most likely always exist. We are not a public relations or propaganda publication. In fact, we see it as the media's responsibility to examine what people are doing with a critical eye and hold them publicly accountable, and if we only displayed the positive sides of what organizations here do, we would not be serving the community in the way that is needed. If we don't hold student government and administration accountable, then who will? People are always telling me how the paper has improved from years past. I attribute much of this to our mission to improve every issue of the newspaper and each aspect of the organization as a whole. We never rest or sit back and think we have reached perfection. It all goes back to the commitment and dedication our staff MS to creating the best product we can, and I am proud to be a part of such a cohesive team. Farewells are an order for three of our most dedicated staff members. To Opinion Page Editor Sherry Nelsen and Executive Reporter Nick Honeck, I say congratulations on graduating. To News Editor Ryan Kamphuis, I say good luck working this spring with the New York Knicks. I'm going to miss each of these people, and things won't be the same around the office without them. As for me, I'll be around one more semester, with my partners-in-press Nicholas Michael Ravnikar and Matt Gonya, along with all the other current staff members. Next semester we plan on knocking everyone's socks off and ending our experiences with The Ranger News as best as we can, while also transitioning the newspaper into its new leadership with the 2006-2007 editor-in-chief. , Thank you to everyone who has supported and/or read the newspaper this semester. It has been a pleasure working on it for the community. Be safe this winter, and if your culture begins a new calendar in the next couple weeks, then have a happy new year. Henry D.

"A set plan has to be approved by, first, the UW facilities and then by the state of Wisconsin," Wallner said BYDAN TORillSEN As UW-Parkside continues to grow in size, sodothe needs of students andstaff. One result of this is the expansion of existing campus buildings. One of the major expansions wiII be to the Student Union. Aramark's I faciuties can no longer keep up with the growing number of students ,expected to attend UW- Parkside in the future. i The plans for the new expansion are being produced by WTW Architects in conjunction withKahler Slater Architects. WTW Architects are known statewide for their work on a multitude of university and elementary school projects. They have designed such things as living quarters, event halls, building expansions, and other various buildings for a wide range of services. Along with the additioo to the Student Union, there are plans for expansion of the residence halls and the Communication Arts building, as well as a new academic building and a number of parking lots. The total cost of the proposed expansion is projected at '$26 million, with $1.4 million com..ing from state funds. Kahler Slater Architects, based in Milwaukee, are best known for the design of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Steve Wallner, assistant director of Student Life at UW- Parkside, shed some light on the question of when the expansion project would be underway. "We hope to see earth moving by the spring semester:' Wallner said. The expansion is projected to be completed and open sometime during the fall of 2009. Wallner WITH REPORTING ASSISTANCE BY CARLY-ANNE SURBER Rangers Ranked #1 BY ALBAN DEMETI The body of 22-year- old Stefnee Goines was found in Caledonia, off four mile road, on January 14, 2006.

Cosey, who turned himself in to police on Sunday, called his sister Tatiana Cosey on Sunday at 12:39am and whi Ie crying on the phone he said "It was an accident," It accidentally January 24, 2006 fired" according to the complaint. Caledonia Police Department Dispatch received a call from a citizen at 9: 12pm, January 14,2006 indicating that he had found an unconscious female lying in a ditch line in the 9500 block of four miles road. Several officers from the Caledonia Police Department were dispatched to that area. Lt.

A bullet was found, immediately to the north where Goines lay, and it is suspected that a .38 caliber handgun was used in the killing, officials said. !Speak Easy: Chancellor's Convocation ddress Covers UW -P Hi hs and Lows BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNlKAR Convocation is a term unfamiliar to most students. but it's an event occurring every semester to which faculty and staff are accustomed. Associate Vice Chancellor for University Relations Lenny Klaver described it as "a pep talk" to boost faculty, staff. and administrative morale before each semester, A line of professors, administrators. 'other academic staff, and a few invited students began forming at 8 a.m. on January 12, soon stretching from the Parkside Cafe down the Union Bridge. Once the doors opened. hungry convocation-goers thronged the two buffet tables. piled with steaming trays of eggs, bacon, and pancakes. plates of fruit, pitchers of juice, and bowls of punch. After a few introductions and announcements of service awards, and after the caffeine junkies had re-filled their coffee cups, UW-Parkside Chancellor John P. Keating stood behind the podium to give his regular address. Though he said he thinks the budget cuts were troublesome for the university, Keating reiterated many times that everyone involved pitched in extra effort when needed. "'We should hold our heads high:' he said. HJ personally think we are through the toughest times." Parkside, not Swampside "This is not a stagnant campus," Keating observed more than once in his speech. going on to applaud faculty, staff, and administration who "delivered a great product" among budgetary setbacks. He said that university administration did every tiling they could to minimize what he called a "constrained budget," but that it was necessary to make all the cuts mandated by the legislature. According to Keating, Uw-Parkside lost two vice chancellors, and many positions left open by retired faculty will not be refilled. But Dave Williams, Director of Athletics, raised $125,000 that Keating said is destined for projects designed to bring in more revenue for the sports and athletics department. "People are beginning to recognize who we are," Keating said. "and beginning to put their money into a successful enterprise." Keating also noted that the Financial Aid Office. directed by Randall McCready, processed $6 million in "Come get that good copy!"

The Spanish Center is a United Way nonprofit organization that offers programs such as energy assistance and Gang DiversefYouth, English as a Second Language classes (ESL) and Prenatal and Outreach programs and has been a part of the Kenosha community since it was founded in 1969.

Kehl; the President of the Board of Directors, Carlos Conde; Executive Director Ben Ortega; and assistant to U.S. . Congressman Paul Ryan, Theresa Morran. "We are trying to build connections between Parkside and what our community has to offer," said Rita Altmeyer, equal opportunity specialist. "We've always purchased tables for their Spanish Center annual function meeting. Any kind of community outreach we try to make sure we are a part of." The Office of Equity and Diversity advises the chancellor and administration on social equity policies, issues, and concerns and institutional civil rights; and enforces affirmative action laws and equal employment opportunity policies and procedures; develops and conducts sensitivity sessions on issues related to equity and diversity; and handles discriminatory and sexual harassment complaints.

WHITE From Facebook accounts to informational tables, TKE bas joined other Greek organizations at UW-Parkside. After a few attempts, TKE has finally rushed' onto campus. UW-Parkside's newest fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon, was established in l899 and incorporates a diverse membership. Member Mike Scerpella said TKE was the firstinternational fraternity that allowed Jewish people, homosexuals, and people of different backgrounds who would normally not get in. Scerpella said, with about 20 members, they are proud of their accomplishments, but they still have more to do. Scerpella said this year is their review process, and they are also attempting to get involved on campus, promote volunteer work, and steer away from negative stigmas. Member Andy Klopfenstein said some possible volunteer opportunities are the Sbalom Center, Six "I am happy to show it can be done wit t right groue of people,' -Mike Scerpella, Member Of TKE Flags, the polar plunge, and Alpine Valley ski resort. Scerpella said TKE adds to the diversity of campus and allows additional outlooks for people wanting to be involved in Greek life: 'We want to show that a large group of students in Greek life can be beneficial member(s) to society." TKE hoped to win $500 by being the scbool's loudest and most supportive organization at the Jan. 26 borne basketball games in order to help tbeir early financial problems. "We need a lot of money," Scerpella said. TKE members said other Greek organizations have been happy to see them on campus, and the students are already responding. Scerpella said some students said they tried to bring this organization to campus before but failed. "I am happy to show it can be done with the tight group of people," Scerpella said. They said their social strength is appealing because of the individual diverseness among the group. Member Cody Cepura said that everyone has a trait or skill: "We have R.A:s, 31t majors, chemistry majors, member(s) from the radio station, and members from Latino Unidos." Scerpella, who is an R.A., said, 'Till a daycare worker; that abo helps:' ASPEN Meets Uncertain Fate BY KAITLYN M. ULMER Since campus police officer Marlene Schlecht's termination, ASPEN (Advocates Supporting Parkside and Educating for Nonviolence) has been seeking new leadership. "Right now, 1 don't know who's going to step up and take it over," said Chief of Police Michael Marzion. "I don't have another police officer with Marlene's capabilities around here, or knowledge, or anything." In 2003, the Parkside Police Department applied for a Violence Against Women on Campus Grant from the U W Department of Justice. With the grant fnnding, the Parkside Violence Prevention Project (PVPP) was initiated. ASPEN evolved from the pvpp organization, formerly headed by Schlecht. The ASPEN program includes training for advocates who provide services for victims of sexual assault, dating/domestic violence, and stalking. "Something unique to this situation is that traditionally advocate programs do not come out of police departments. The police department's role in sexual assault is the investigation." said Marzion. "[Schlecht] was in a position that was crafted specifically at taking advantage of the grant and her knowledge. skills and abilities. She just happened to be a cop." January 31,2006 Flyer Flies Page 8 When the Violence Against Women Grant expired on December 31 last year, the Parkside Police Department asked to continue the grant. This request was denied. "However, there is no reason why the program has to end, because it's not an expensive program," said Maraion. "It's not a money issue on this campus." ASPEN advocates comprise a diverse group: females. males, students, staff, faculty, athletes, resident assistants, and peer educators with variations in age, race. sexuaJ orientation, and cultural background. "The advocate helps that person as a friend relationship but also makes sure that the victim is heard, that their needs and wants are taken care of. and they are generally treated in the best possible way," said Marzion. In the past, the police department, campus health and counseling, and the Womyns Center collabon m~.m;11Il. the legal and personal needs of sexual assault victims on campus. "Keep in mind that sexual assault is not a daily occurrence:' said Marzion. "As for the advocacy, I'm not sure how that communication would take place. rm sure we'd refer them to health and counseling. but I'm not sure how it would go from there .. Non-Traditional Voice to be Heard on Board of Regents BYTYRONE PAYTON The UW Board of Regents will SOon be increasing to 18 members as they search to add more student representation to the board with a non-traditional student member. Currently, OUtof the 17 members that cOnstilute the Board of Regents, only one is a student in the UW System. "On Wednesday, December 21, Governor Doyle signed Act 76 into law," according to Brian Tanner, legislative affairs director for the United Council eruw Students. "This bill (Senate Bill 121) added a second student regent to the UW Board of Regents:' The eventually elected member wnuld be defined as at least 24 years old and an undergraduate in the UW System. Tanner would go on to say that there was only one voice for l6O,000 students before the governnr signed the bill. "Everything on UW campuses is touched by the Board of Regents policies:' said Tanner. "They direct and guide tbe UW System by creating policies." Tanner specu lated that at the age of 24 you are considered independent, especially in terms of financial aid. Parkside Adult Student Alliance is centralized around this non-traditional student description. "The more non-traditional that you get," said the secretary for PASA, Jackie Gitter, "the more financial burden is going to be on you:' It is because most nontraditional students have already been working under full employment for. several years that it is difficult to revert their daily working lives into student lives.

There are 30,000 nontraditional students in the UW System, withan increasing number of them being veterans.

Alcohol as an Intoxicant BY CHRISTOPHER ROSIN Introducing a bill that wouldinclude alcohol as an intoxicantin sexual assult cases, State Senator Cathy Stepp andState Representative Pat Strachotamay receive support from PSGA, who will vote on a resolutionin favor of the bill. "Wisconsin is the only state in tbe United States that does notfind alcohol as an intoxicant insexual assult cases," said ZaraDittman, Women's Issues director for PSGA (Parkside StudentGovernment Alliance). According to Katharine Lapp,Women's Issues director for the United Council of UW-students, "Alcohol as an Intoxicantseeks to re-define alcoholas an intoxicant under thecurrent second-degree sexual assutt statutes ... reversing a 1996 amendment which specifically removed alcohol fromthe list of intoxicants that canincapacitate a rape victim." "If a woman is too intoxicatedto say no, she can't . say it was rape," said Dittman, who said that if drugs were invoJved- even alchohol and drugs together- she could say it was rape, but not if it was just alchohol. A resolution that was introduced in PSGA senate on January 27 states that, according to research from the Harvard School of Public Health's Center for Alcohol Studies, about one in 20 female college students is raped each year, while 72 percent of those women are raped while they are too intoxicated to give consent. The resolution also stated that UW-Madison's police department reports alcohol as the drug most often used for date rape. Dittman also mentioned that PSGA will be making extensive efforts to send students to the public hearing of the bi II to share stories and show support for the bi II. Striving for Ladies of a Multicultural Tomorrow BY D. WHITE Generating awareness, Ladies of a Multicultural Tomorrow embraces diversity at UW- Parks ide.

Perez said, "Being a vice president has helped me a lot, especially with motivating people and delegating work." With the group ranging from African American, Caucasian, Mexican, and Mexican American, Perez said the main thing was to get people from other cultures involved. "We have a variety of women in a group dedicated to give up their time." According to Perez their first goals is to have Wisconsin's first multicultural women's leadership conference. "We see need for young women to attend college," said Perez. The group also wants to have a dialog about the movie Crash, a movie confronting racism. Perez said they can help spread multiculturalism, create an awareness of it on campus, get people involved, and "shake some waters." Perez said racism is an issue not everyone wants to talk about and is often hushed. Perez said that almost everything has been an obstacle: gathering people, becoming a group, and fundraising. She said it is really about how you present yourself and how she always tells her group to be positive. "If you're going to come up with some negative, keep it to yourself or change it into something positive."

" Steve McLaughlin, dean of students for the fall semester, so there were no senators elected by the stude.nt body for that semester. Also, attendance records of meeting minutes show that the senate only has about half of the members it is required to have. "It would seem logical to me that right now:' said Ravnikar, "there needs to be an evaluation of record keeping of office hours for senators and directors, and j f they find anyone in violation of aIlll.Df those Lthink it wnuld be a dereliction of their duties:' Both the PSGA constitution and SUFAC policies state that three senators from the fall semester elections and three from the spring semester elections will be chosen by the PSGAjudicial branch as voting members of SUFAC. Because no elections rook place in the fall semester. half of the senators serving on SUFAC were not eligible. "If you get 50 senators between those two elections, you can actually begin having a PSGA that can get back and amend the constitution constitutionally." said Ravnikar. The attendance section of the constitution states that any senator missing more than three unexcused absence per semester is supposed La be automatically impeached from the senate, unless another senator moves for the impeached senator's reinstatement. which would require a two-thirds vote conducted by secret ballot. "It's been noticed by a number of people that there are some issues in that document that need to be addressed." Mclaughlin added, emphasizing the point ... that the advisor's role is to provide advice. support, and feedback.

It's fun and, hey, where would we be without footballer John Madden eating a "Frankensteinian" form of poultry known as "Turducken?" So when I read an article in The Ranger News from the winter issue advo~ating "building a snowperson" for the purpose of merriment, I thought thenon-term "snowperson" had been manufactured in the same spirit of tonguein- cheek wit. I have since been incensed to learn that it was written to serve political correctness's cold purpose. There's nothing wrong with the word "snowman!" In fact, the word itself is already"gender-neutral." Let me teach all you "snow impersonators" why: Ever wonder why we call human females "women"? 1 mean. hey. you women aren't just men with two extra letters, are you? Well, "woman" actually comes from the Old English "wffman" which basically 'meant "wife-man." Similarly tile word for a male human being sounded a bit like "were-man" (compare that to "werewolf'). Eventually, the "were" was dropped from were-man, and wife-man became woman, but the word "man" still meant person and not male human being, at least . as far as compound words are concerned. In fact, the Oxford English Dictionary claims that only recently did some people get confused about that. Essentially, "chairman" means " "chair-person," mankind means "personkind," and snowman already means "snow-person." And there's nothing sexist about it.

As she was looking them over, I began to feel as if something was 'going awry. She said she was not sure if she could return both of them, since the bottom comers were a little bent. She excused herself and went to ask. Upon her return, she told me she could give me full price for One and used price for the other. Since both were bought only a week ago at full price each, I was quite miffed at that- not to mention that the one they were gi ving me used price on was the more expensive book. The used' price that they wanted to refund me was $20 less than the new price I paid for it.

I confronted the man in me back (and later, the grey haired man joined him) about it. I asked how he could give back only the used price on a book that was never once opened, had no writing in it, and was only purchased a WJ:e ago. His answer was to ask me how he could sell that book as new when it looks like it is used. Yes indeed, how could he have sold me the "new" book for the "new" price with a very small bend on the corner in the first place if that book isn't "new" enough for him to buy at the "new" price?

News January 31,2006 8 Flyer: A Journey in Aviation I BY DAN TORKILSEN The performance of ."Flyer" by Kate Aspengren on Saturday and Sunday were both excellent. The play is centered on Fran Douglas (portrayed by Lyssa Junek), who, since her childhood, has had aspirations of becoming a pilot. However during the time period in which this play is set a female becoming a pilot was unheard of, an issue in which her classmates all through her schooling point out. That does not discourage her however when she recei ves her pilot's license at the age of sixteen. The play flashes forward to ten years ahead, Fran Douglas is with her boyfriend Jerry (portrayed by Erik Peter Kirkegaard Skoglund) when Fran shows Peter an invitation to test with a company in Albuquerque. First Peter thinks of it as a joke, but as Fran shows her true feelings towards it he shows signs of worrying about her well-being and safety. He also expresses concern about the possible chance of failure. Fran assures Jerry that she intends to succeed and that the tests are just those tests. Along the way through testing two other characters have an appearance: Mom (portrayed by Joan Roehre) and Bessie Coleman (portrayed by Shani Parker). Fran's mother is very worried about Fran's well being during the tests. Bessie not only encourages Fran, but also challenges her and often questions just whom exactly is Fran doing these tests for. The tests are arduous; they include dipping Fran's hand in Ice-cold water for a minute and time in a sensory depravation tank, Both instances Fran recalls back to past memories in which she remembers why she is so enthralled with ·flying. Near the conclusion of the tests Frans long time boyfriend Jerry leaves her despite this comeback. Fran passes the tests with flying (pun intended) colors. Later in the play it is found that, although Fran passed the first series of tests the second round of more intense testing has been cancelled. Fran is crushed, to have strived and pushed so hard only to be denied a chance to venture into space is upsetting to say the least. Fran thinks about quitting but soon realizes that she can still fly, which she continues to do. The last part of the play ;1 I• focuses on the future when Sally Ride (the first American woman in space )is preparing to enter space. Since Fran and others who were involved in the tests which paved the way for female astronauts, she is invited to watch the takeoff. This play chronicals a woman's dream to achieve more than one thought a woman could in the time frame she lived in, it shows that even though you do not succeed your trials can prove beneficial to another person.

The te ts are arduou ; they include dipping Fran's hand in Ice-cold water for a minute and time in a sensory depravation tank Both instances Fran recalls back to past memories in which he remembers why she is so enthralled with flying. Near the conclu ion of the tests Frans long time boyfriend Jerry leaves her de pite thi comeback. Fran passes the tests with flying (pun intended) color . Later in the play it is found that, although Fran pa sed the first series of tests the econd round of more intense testing has been cancelled. Fran i cru hed, to have strived and pushed so hard only to be denied a chance to venture into space is upsetting to say the least. Fran thinks about quitting but soon realizes that she can still fly, which he continues to do. The last part of the play focuses on the future when Sally Ride (the first American woman in space)is preparing to enter pace. ince Fran and other who were involved in the test which paved the way for female astronauts, she is invited to watch the takeoff. Thi play chronicals a woman's dream to achieve more than one thought a woman could in the time frame he lived in, it shows that even though you do not succeed your trials can prove beneficial to another per on. r ·-·- ---·---- · - . - ·- -- --· -- •· ••· Advertise with The Ranaer News!

High school juniors and seniors who have expressed interest in attending UWParks ide were given the opportunity to see what a day in the life of a college music student would be like. When Alvaro Garcia, assistant professor of music and director of orchestral studies in the Music Department, came to UW-Parkside five years ago, the orchestra program was nonexistent. Since that time, he has seen the influx of students and community members come together to form the Parkside Symphony that exists today. Alvaro Garcia and Friends, which is a trio consisting of Garcia, Alejandro Alurnbreros, and Bruno Pena is scheduled to perform on February "In this case. the two friends that are playing with me are actually from Spain," said Garcia. "So it's going to be really nice for us, and we're going to have a lot of fun." The noon series is open to all students and community members, and admission is free. The series reportedly fills nearly 250 seats in the Union Cinema during each show. The Music Department also puts on a variety of weekend and evening concerts during the year. Each semester, they plan a benefit concert help provide musical scholarships to music students. A group of students playing during practice. two evening/weekend a students, to not only enjoy performances they would find at larger fine arts schools, but to participate as well. The noon concert series, which is put on every Wednesday, exhibits talents from not only the Music Department's directors and teachers, but also student performers. This fulfills the recital requirements of both students and faculty and helps to relieve budget constraints. "To have a concert every Wednesday is very hard with a very small budget," said Garcia. "We have guest artists that either come from the area, or we are lucky enough to get into situations so that we can bring international performers." For this upcoming semester, the noon series will feature Daniel Del Pino, a pianist from Spain who happened to have other concerts scheduled in the area and will be making a special stop at the campus of UW- ... + d'ffiid,e.'l,\¥.a,rc;!l~, •••• PhOtO by Carly-An\1e SurbeT year, kaleidoscope," which groups performing in the "Musical Kaleidoscope" audience members will have the chance to view different choirs, the jazz combo, the orchestra, and smaller chamber groups and soloists, all from UW-Parkside, for the small admission price of On April 25, the UWParkside Symphony will combine with the choirs for a "Mozart Celebration" .at Reuther Central High School's auditorium.

"We are very proactive with our mission of community engagement within both the communities of Racine, Kenosha. and Southeastern Wisconsin," said Garcia. "As well as the community here on campus." The development of the Music Department over the years has helped to bring credit and recognition to the university of UW-Parkside. The department is continuing grow and always looking to expand.

Student Health BY JON! DENECKE The Mental Health Task Force would like to introduce Active Minds- a student- runmental-health awareness, education l and advocacy organization. Marcy Hufendick, of the Student Health & Counseling Center, was one.of many who went to a conference last spring and leamed about the Active Minds organization. A task force was formed to look into the need for a mental- health awareness program. The task force feels Active Minds is something that will help raise awareness and get rid of some of the stigma and -MalleI Hufendiek ~ Counseling Center \ misunderstandings about mental- health issues that people have. "It is important -to educate not only the staff here at UW- Parkside but more important to educate the whole UW-Parkside community," said Hufendick. "The more people know about mental illness the more the stigma attached to it will disappear. " DeAnn Possehl, director of Resident Life, agreed that this program is something the campus needs: "Here, especially in Resident Life, we have seen an increase over time of the number of students having mental-health issues. There is more need for services to help Marcy Hufendick students with these issues. The help is needed to help students be successful." Active Minds is not meant to be a support group but a student-awareness organization. An e-mail will be going out to the whole student body of UW-Parkside explaining Active Minds, seeing if students feel there is a need for a program like this on campus, and looking for people who are interested in being part of the organization. According to the e-mail, the group's mission is to utilize peer -outreach to ACTIVE MINDS page 3. TheBuddy System Re-dux United Council Organizing Students; Internship Opportunities Available ~~~~:"I. ;;; Photo by Henry D. askins Ulia Williams, UW-Parkside's "campus buddy" and LGBTQ issues director for United Council, interviews a student Wednesday, February 1 in the PSGA office. BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNlKAR Every student at UW- Parkside pays two dollars to an organization called United Council. But many students are unaware of both the fact that United Council exists and what the council does, despite the fact that the fee is disclosed in the "fee facts" booklet distributed with Students' bills at the beginning of every semester. Representing the concerns of over 145,000 students and the concerns from all but two of the 26 campuses in the UW system is the primary responsibility of United Council, which purports itself as students' "only voice on the statewide level." Lilia Williams, who is UW-Parkside's "campus buddy" and LGBTQ issues director for United Council, was at UW- Parkide's campus from January 30 through February 2 and spoke at the Rainbow Alliance meeting that Monday, where she asked Rainbow Alliance members if February 7, 2006 ified ro__ 'ad free cor all students! Carmen Ireland from the Office of Multi-Cultural Student Affairs (OMSA) dances to the music provided by a percussion ensemble during the kick-off to Black History Month on Wednesday, February 1.

Women's Issues Boil Over KAITLYN M. ULMER Like a pot boiling over, underlying women's issues at UW-Parkside came to the surface after the termination of Marlene Schlecht, a campus police officer, (December 31) and the murder of student Stefnee Goines (January 14). "There are specific issues that affect the whole community, and the whole community needs to embrace those issues," said Marcy Hufendick, program manager and senior counselor for the Student Health and Counseling Center. Both Marcy Hufendick and DeAnn Possehl, director of Student Health and Counseling, signed on as supporters for the Violence Against Women grant written by fanner campus police officer Marlene Schlecht. This grant brought ASPEN (Advocates Supporting Parkside and Educating for Nonviolence) into existence in 2003. "We provided input for programs. brochures, and pamphlets. We weren't necessarily involved in the day- to-day activities [of ASPENj," said Hufendick. "When the program changed focus and added dornesric violence and stalking, many advocates were not trained specifically in those areas," said Possehl. Posting yellow signs on doors and desks, many faculty and staff continue to work as advocates and mark their affiliation with the ASPEN program. "The reality is that without our grant and without Marlene no one is here to shepherd the program. My guess is that it won't he with us," said Possehl. 'We will continue to educate student leaders on [women's] issues and the resources available. Personal counseling is still here and will remain here;' said Hufendick. Despite these setbacks, both Huffendick and Possehl encourage students to volunteer for service programs in their local communities. "Even if you just stuff envelopes and answer the phone. you free up the professionals for direct service work," said Huffendick.

About half raised their hands-a typical response for UW-Parkside students who aren't familiar with the "shared governance" clause of Wisconsin's constitution. Williams announced internship opportunities that are available with United Council, as well as a number of United Council's statewide efforts, which she said increase awareness and involvement on issues that affect students .. One sucb effort is the "No On The Amendment" campaign, which is trying to raise awareness about the Defense of Marriage Amendment that will .be on the ballot for referendum in Wisconsin on April 4 of this year. If passed, the amendment will quash domestic partnership benefits and eliminate the chances for civil unions to exist in the future, Williams said. She added two things: that the amendment doesn't negatively affect only the LGBTQ community. and thar the amendment is being used to distract from some of the other important issues that students BUDDY SYSTEM page 4.

"P'!lB5' Corrections Mirella Perez is not the vice president of Latinos Unidos. She is tbe president of Ladies for a Multi- Cultural Tomorrow. In the January 24 issue of The Ranger News, it was reported that PASA had a discrepancy of $449.20 on their budget breakdown sheet. In the January 31 issue, a correction was run stating that the number was all the budget breakdown sheet, but not on an individual breakdown sheet. There was indeed an individual breakdown sheet for this number, so PASA had no discrepancy On their SUFAC requests. In the January 31 issue, Zara Dittman 'was quoted as saying, "If a woman is too intoxicated to say. no, she can't say it was rape." After publication of this article, Dittman said she wanted to make clear that a woman can always report a rape, no matter how many drinks she's had.

German and French Majors Face Elimination Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document NEW BY ALBAN DEMETI PSdA President Dave Koss will be addressing UW-Parkside students during his "State of theSchool" speech" on Friday, February 17. Copying other UW schools, Koss bopes UW- Parkside will join this tradition. "It'san address kind of like thestate of the union, where thestudent body president talks about what's going on with tbe student population and what policies we are implementing." saidKoss. Althougb Koss didn't getinto specifics, be said that be isgoing to address several issues thatare affecting PSGA, and he .. , ~ . .... , ••• , .. , • ~ #"" .. • .. ~ ¥ ... , • r" r • .. ........ -. "" .. State of the School!Achtung! Attention! German and I ;~~~S~a~a~~~~outwhat French Maiors Face Elimination "Its kind of a way to bring everybody together and recap and formally talk about how we are doing as a student body," said Koss. "It is a broad speecb about various different subjects including tuition accessibility. " Koss wants to emphasize the good things that PSGA has ~ done at UW-Parkside ~ and explain to the ~ students the process i: of governance, which g: sometimes its not easy to [ ", understand. i "I think that student PSGA"Pci.R"E~S~ID~E~N"T~D~"~V~E~K~O~S~S""'" government does a lot of good things througbout tbe day and througbout the course of the year, but sometimes it's not easy to explain to students what exactly it is that we do." Kess said. "I think it's a good way to find out what's going on," said Koss. "I think it's a good way to hold me accountable:' Kess encourages students to attend so they can hear about bow PSGA plans the busy spring semester and the next year. He also wants to highlight the work of other organizations on campus and bow they are doing. Both the chancellor and dean of students. will be present during the event. semester, for example, the total enrollment was 42 students for German classes, 30 students for French classes, and 362 students for Spanish classes. Although a plan to end the French and German majors is by no means final, much of the CAP meeting's discussion centered on the future of the Modem Languages Department with a continuation of the status quo seeming unlikely. "Imagine if Siegfried [Christoph, professor of German and chair of the Modern Languages Department) retired. There's no way we would ever do it;' said Associate Provost Gerald Greenfield in reference to replacing outgoing German and French professorships with new German and French professorships. Greenfield added that no one wants to get rid of a major, but "we don't want to replicate a one-person language show. ,. Many ideas were floated by CAP. including replacing French and German with different languages such as Chinese. Arabic. or American Women's Center Reopens After Five Months BY MEGAN E. WHEELER The Women's Center has a new coordinator. and her name- is Amber Smith. Smith is a senior who is majoring in English with aminor in Women's Studies, Herjob duties include helping to coordinate events forthe center as well as finding women students who can give the center time. Currently. the cemerdoes not have any female students handing out pamphlets and Other information to female student, on various women's ISsues, from abortion to eating disorders. "Last year, people were askedto volunteer two hours everyweek; this time I am just asking for people to work an ~our or two a month. You can do uon a Tuesday, You can do it on Thursday, Friday; that is mucb easierto fit into," said Smith. The Women's Center can notfully function unless it bas the "woman-power," and Smith is hopeful tbose same people she gets to work there this semester will also be willing to work, or possibly even lead, the center in the fall semester. "I tbink that people want to see the window open, but they are unwilling to help get it open. We just need people to sit in here; you can do your homework. but you need to be willing to help people." said Smith. "Not having the window open really limits the access to those things for the women on this campus," Student government's Women's Issues Director Zara Dittman said she is g.oing to ask at the next student government meeting whether her committee of PSG A senators could spend their senate office hours in the Women's Center to help out in "wornaning" the Women's Center, BY JOHN KELLOGG "Half a graduate every year is not a functional major," said professor Wendy Leeds- Hurwitz, chair of the Committee on Academic Planning (CAP), whose meeting February 7 focused in on Dean of Arts and Sciences Donald Cress's recommendations on the future of the Modern Languages Department. Cress's recommendations include ending the French and German major programs, CAP is in tbe middle of a long review process of the Modern Languages Department. The long review process entails a self-study by the Modern. Languages Department; separate evaluations by an external reviewer, an internal review committee, and by the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences: and, finally, a report by the CAP, which is submitted to the provost. The French and German programs have had miniscule enrollments for years in comparison to the Spanish program. During the Fall 2005 Sign Language; changing the foreign language requirement. or hiring an adjunct to offer basic instruction in French and German at the lower levels but ending their respective major programs. Lee-Hurwitz said that "Most [German or French] majors place into the 200 level," and the numbers of majors wbo started in the 100 level are small. Lee-Hurwitz also said that there is an average of two graduates with a major in French and half a graduate with a major in German every year. In light of these facts, Greenfield asked. "How do tbey [the French and German programs] make a meaningful contribution to the university?" CAP is nnt finished reviewing the Modem Languages Department, and it could take some time before any final decisions are made. CAP will hold another meeting February 24 to continue its review. D , "Come get that good copy!" "Having them be able to serve their office hours at the Women's Center on their own time, a time that works for them. would be great." said Dittman. "The Women's Issues Committee wants a Women's Center, I'd love to, .. help do programming and find a mission statement:' March is Women's History Month, and in the spirit of things, the Women's Center is sponsoring many different events.

A speak- out was held in the Union last Wednesday concerning the widely held misconceptions in society about young black men.

The speak -out, sponsored by OMSA and The Black Student Ilnioll, was geared towart! anyone and everyone and had a fairly good turnout. "I hnpe people will walk away with an understanding that "They have trials and tribulations, but [black men] are view,ed under a ml !' African-American males are genuinely good people.

Along the walls of the fieldhouse were numerous stands of authentic Native American crafts ranging from small items of necklaces and dream-catchers to larger gifts of pillows, artwork, and woven rugs and blankets, while the center of the building was reserved for the Drums, the Native American musical performers invited to the Pow Wow. The Host Drum Scherpella said Koss is like a "textbook encyclopedia" and always knows what to do and the approach to take. Positions available for election are president, vice president, and 25 open senate seats. Scherpella said anyone wanting to get involved can benefit from even being in PSGA.

As a master of ceremonies for many powwows, Denning shared his opinion on Sacred Circle's edition. ''There is no other powwow like this one," said Denning.

Panel of Diverse Women Helps OMSA Speak Out Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Tuesday Night lent UW·Parkside Page 6 --- ............ _~--------- .. Upcoming Foreign Film er The Sea Insi Racing Into Spri Page 1 11 Panelof Diverse Women Helps OMS A Speak Out BYTYRONE PAYTON The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs hosted a Speak Out session in respect to March as Women's History Month Wednesday, March I, at noon in the Union Square. As attendants were treated to mixed salad and tomato bisque with breadsticks, theSpeak Out chewed on topics that werecentralized around critical issues facing women of all ethnicity today. To digest such diverse questions, the event was organized with a diverse pane] in mind, and OMSA selected six female representatives of UW-Parkside who covered a wide cultural spectrum of Jewish, African-American, Hmong, Latina. Albanian, and European and Nati ve American ethnicities. . "We picked this diverse panel on purpose," said Mirella Perez, "because we wanted to learn what each individual woman had to say of the diversity that they've lived, the diversity that they've been through, and just their experiences." Perez was one of the active members of the Speak Out, as she helped plan the event and participated as one of the six panelists. Another panelist, Stacey Yang, treasurer of Parkside Asian Organization, voiced her opinion on being part of the noon discussion. "When I think of women of color, I see only black and white," said Yang, "and 1 would like to see brown in there. That's why I took it upon myselfto be part of the panel, because I want an Asian perception. I want Asian women to stand up for themsel ves." The facilitator of the Speak Out, Jacqueline Smith-Gonzalez, is a Women's ISsues committee member and PSGA co-director of the diversity committee. With diversity and women's issues a focal part of her life and organizational responsibilities, Smith commented upon the difficulty of obtaining such a diverse panel. "It was a challenge," said Smith, "because we had to try and find not only somebody to represent different ethnicities, but also that these women knew what they were talking about." What they talked about was sincere issues of appearance and lack of appropriate representation of women today. especially in the media of magazines, television, music, and film.

Cress stressed the benefits of learning any foreign language: "Whether you use it or not. you, when you think about how the language works, you learn Euglish better, and when you learn English better, you become a better reader and a clearer writer." "1 didn't understand English grammar until I took Latin in high school." said Cress. "I spoke Latin once ...and I don't expect to do it again. Even if people took a German [course] and they don't plan to use it. they're going to Jearn a lot about English."

Barbara Walsh UW-Parkside Student Route 9 Still Facing Elimination BY JOE LUKASZEWICZ Impacting as many as 40 UWParkside students, SUFAC made the final decision of whether to keep Route 9 running to campus Friday, March 24. This is the bus route [hat students from Racine use to commute to school every day. Although SUFAC may decide not to keep Route 9, many students voiced their opinions in support of the route. Some also offered suggestions that include offering a night b us service. Barbara Walsh,UWParkside student, wrote a petition in the effort to keep Route 9 running, as well as fix problems with the bus service. Walsh has already collected approximately 200 signatures for her petition from both students and faculty. "The overall opinion received from the people asked to sign the petition has been nothing but positive," said Walsh. Walsh and Candice Pierce said they a re willing to compromise, for example by paying more money lor bus fares because the bus route goes out of county. Walsh believes this petition probably will not affect SUFAC's decision, but she still wants to show SUFAC how many people support the bus route. Walsh crafted the petition to show students the situation with the bus route, instead of simply trying to sway SUFAC's opinion. She added that many students chose UW-- Parkside because using the bus route enables them to live at home and commute inexpensively. Candice Pierce could have attended another college such as the University of Milwaukee, but she chose UW-Parkside because she could use Route 9 to go to Classes while living at home. Pierce is outraged that Route 9 W'H probably be eliminated: "We nrc losing one of the major forms °l transportation, and the students were not even considered among the voters of this decision." Pierce is just b eginning her path to a degree, and n ow she will have to find a new "rm of transportation for the rest 1,1 her time at UW-Parkside. Many other students will face the same challenges. Although the petition was due lT'day, Walsh said, "SUFAC has not evun asked to see the petition up to lhls point." Walsh is not only using UWurkside's resources in an attempt to • eeP Route 9, but she has also taken cr plea to Racine's committees in an attempt to resolve the issue. Among the people who support '"is idea are Alderman Thomas ""roan and Mayor Gary Becker. e Route 9 issue will be taken to oommittee at 6:30 p.m. on March 29. Phis will be the second meeting ""cerning Route 9, and Walsh tk0pes that more students will attend Inis meeting. UnivefsHy of Wlsconsin-Portoide', Student Newspaper Academic Hazard: The Never-Ending"Problem~0f Pricy Tex.booh BBYY NNIICCHHOOlL AACS MMTICCHMAAEPL, / RAVNIKAR Author's note: This article is the first in a series examining historical trends and recent developments in textbook publishing, adoption, and purchases. I he Ranger News encourages students and faculty members with comments regarding textbooks to e-mail ravni000@ uwp.edu for future articles. Jim Rosellini and Rick Haksey work at different ends of UW-Parkside's campus, unknown to many of the university's students. But together, they have helped lower textbook prices overall and hope to inform the campus about more ways to keep prices down. And students need the help. Though neither Follett nor UW-Parkside has tabulated the textbook expenses per student at the university, the National Association of College Stores (NACS) 2005 industry report estimated that the average U.S. college student spent $704 in their college bookstore for 2003-2004, just over $350 per semester. Rosellini, who wears his trademark Follett "store manager" nametag around the bookstore sales floor every day, oversees the operations of UW-Par'kside's campus bookstore. By his estimate, some student demographics tend to pay even more for books. "If somebody tended to be in, say, biology classes and took four courses, it could run $400 [for a semester] easily," Rosellini said. Parent of two college students himself, Rosellini noted that upperclassmen and English majors also tend to have greater textbook expenses. Haskey, from his office buried at the end of Union 209's narrow hallway, said that he has also been more concerned with textbook pricing since heading up a textbook study group ordered by Chancellor John Keating in Spring 2005. "Every semester, when you walk into the bookstore and you have to shell out 120, 80 bucks for a book, that's a lot of coin," Haskey said, his eyes widening with sympathy. "But it's not the bookstore setting the prices, selling the course schedule. They're acting as a conduit from the publisher to the student. When you're spending that kind of money on a book, it's going to be emotionally charged." Much of Haskey's work concerns him with student money. His job as one of the assistant directors of Student Activities puts him in charge of overseeing some of the most integral contracts that UW-Parkside holds with outside companies - the campus bookstore. Ranger Card Office, laundry service, and Higher One, to name a few. Both agree that there are some misconceptions that students and faculty may have about what role the bookstore itself plays in textbook prices, as well as how students and Book Dollars jtore Tola I: 2 2.6%) note: of the average 4.9 cents on even dollar that '•allege bookstores earn, the NACS 2005 Financial Report states, they returned more than 12.5% to the university or college they serve. About 4.3% usually funds additional contributions for scholarships and men handise donations. (taken from 2005 Preliminary Data from the National Association of College Stores) Publisher and Author Total: 7Z4%) faculty affect those costs. Rossellini said that most people probably think that campus bookstores gouge customers for more money. "There's a standard benchmark in retail," Rosselini said, "that if you buy something for 50 cents, you turn around and sell it for a "dollar or more." But textbook markup isn't even as high as 100 percent, he said. "You're talking maybe 20 percent, something in that range." With most students and faculty concerned with their own workload, it's not hard to understand why bookstore operations are not their top priority. But Haskey hopes to make textbook issues a larger blip on the campus radar "to alleviate some of those emotions." Bookstore Contract Extended, New Bid Will Wait ktil '08 Renovation to Union Hall facilities forced an extension on the contract between UWParkside and Follett Higher Education Group, which serves as the university's bookstore vendor, Haskey said. The contract was renewed in March. Though the university could have opened up bids for other book vendors on campus, Haskey said that Follett remained the school's best choice, having managed the bookstore at UW-Parkside since 1988. "The timing wasn't right" to open up the possibility of new management of the campus bookstore, Haskey said. The contract now allows Follett to stay in business on campus until 2008. when 1400000 1200000 1000000 800000 600000 400000 200000 n • Used Books • New Books — • Other Sales FY '99 FY '00 FY '01 FY '02 FY '03 FY '04 FY '05 YTD YTD 05 06 The above graph shows the increase of revenue made by used books in comparison to revenue made by new books and other products sold by the bookstore. "Come get that good copy!" the campus bookstore will be permanently relocated to Union Hall. Haskey said that the university will be open for bids "when the bookstore is in a new facility." Rosellini, manager of the bookstore, said that Follett likely will try to stay at UWParkside, but it may face competition. Follett is the largest college-store management company in the nation with 708 stores, according to the NACS. Another NACS member, Barnes and Noble, is a distant second, with nearly 200 fewer stores. "It will pretty much be open season," Rosellini said. To his knowledge, the contract does not give Follett the right to first refusal when the next bid comes up. But whether that means the father of two will be out of a job on the UW-Parkside campus is not clear. Rosellini said that he has heard of other campuses where bookstore management changed and retained the existing staff to cash in on their experience and familiarity with the store. Renewed Contract Affects Disc Golf Sales & University Income The two-year extension also came with what Haskey called a "simple modification" to the terms of the contract, comprising two significant changes. One amendment to the contract tosses disc-golf supplies, which were previously under the charge of the Ranger Card office, over to Follett for the bookstore to sell starting next year. Haskey said that because the Union Expansion Project will displace the Ranger Card office before giving it a new home, the stipulation had to be added to the contract. "The interim facility probably won't have space to accommodate retail sales." he said. "We have to prepare for the Union renovation." Also part of the deal is an additional $20,(XX) that Follett will pay to the university on top of the original contract's terms, which required a minimum annual guarantee of $180,(XX) per year for the first two years and $200,(XX) for consecutive years. Above the guarantee, the university receives 10.5 percent of Follett's net sales on campus up to 2 million dollars. Net sales over 2 million garner 11.5 percent payment for the university. 'That (the guaranteed minimum) was never a concern because our sales level and commissions were always over those rates," Haskey said. The final report from the textbook study group reported that the university pulled in "approximately $250,000 per year in shared revenue from Follett."

Any good therefore that I can do or any kindness that I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer nor neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again." -Mahatma Ghandi BY L. CONWAY Less than 40 percent of American adults believe that today's youth will make the world a better place. Ironically, more than 50 percent of America's teenagers are involved in community service. Their efforts save the U.S. economy more than $30 billion a year according to volunteer program coordinator, Casey Jones. "There are many reasons to volunteer," said Jones. "Volunteering provides the students the opportunity to get into the community and be altruistic but also to take a look at it as a tool to prepare your career." "Almost every two weeks we put out a sheet to give students an idea of what's coming up," said Jones. Programs such as Arts Alive and Hunger Cleanup are heavily dependent on student volunteers and encourage any level of participation, including planning and organization, publicity, and fund raising. "Whenever an employer or agency contacts the university looking for one of our students to fill a Campus job, whether it's full-time for graduates or part-time while you're still in school, internships or volunteer activities, we post it on Ranger Track and then the students have access to that," said Jones. Students interested in any of the posted events or just volunteering in general can go to the Career Center to sign up. Students are often given a screening to determine which volunteering activity best suits their interests. Volunteering can be especially beneficial to those testing the waters in career fields when deciding upon a major. For example, most students cannot take internships as freshmen and sophomores but, through volunteering, can try something out and decide whether it is something they want to base their education on. Mark Patterson, fund-raising chair of Circle K, is a pre-med in nursing. He is currently coordinating the fund-raising for UW-Parkside's Hunger Cleanup. Patterson frequently donates blood and enjoys helping people. "It's a good time," said Patterson. "I get satisfaction when I make someone else feel good.'

The fiipside, of course, is at almost half of buyers—either late- "ni'ng students or those who prefer new obooks—don't save a penny. The NACS, of which Follett is a new ' reP°rted that for 2003-2004, w textbooks made up just over 45 Cent °f bookstore sales nationwide, whereas used textbooks composed little more than 16 percent of national sales, which topped out at almost $7 billion for course materials. But Rossellini and the Follett staff have concentrated on having more used textbooks available. In Fiscal Year 05, Haskey pointed out, students who bought used books saved about $800,000, or roughly $160 apiece on textbooks. "Hopefully," Haskey said, "the ratio will stabilize or even improve." Still, Follett took a 6.4 percent hit in their total sales from the fiscal year 2004 to that of 2005. "I suspect textbook sales dropped because students are becoming privy to alternative means for buying textbooks," Haskey said, alluding to the lower prices students can find online. "You can't blame 'em," he quickly added. "You do what you need to do to save yourself a bit of coin. But it's the bookstore that needs to change and adapt to the needs and demands of the students. If their sales are going down, the invisible hand of competition is saying that the market is working." Rosselini agreed but noted that if a $100 textbook fetches $10 plus shipping and handling on eBay, "somewhere, somebody's taking a $90 hit." "There's definitely competition," he acknowledged. "Nobody's immune to that." As Rosellini noted, pricing for textbooks does fluctuate between particular academic disciplines, though. English majors, though often required to purchase more books, may in another sense have things easier. Textbooks are a smaller market than trade publishers, Rosellini noted, and many English classes—particularly those in the upper levels, where anthologies are less common than works by a single author—tend to use books with larger print runs on bigger-name imprints like Penguin, Knopf, and Scribner, to name a few. Other majors face the difficulty of smaller print runs and markets driving up Upcoming Volunteer Activities Saturday.

Plus, Rosellini said, overhead on technology purchases is too high for UW-Parkside to even think about changing over to any university-owned operations. "There's no question that when a company like Follett buys from [distributors! it's going to be easier to get things done," he said. "For a school or an individual to do that k pretty tough." mi ,s For Parkside, Textbook Rental More Costly "There were always questions and concerns about the costs of textbooks," Haskey said. "A lot of students' colleagues may have traveled to or attended other UW schools that have textbook rental programs. That always seems rather appealing to students if [they] don't have to buy them." Textbook rental programs generally operate at institution-owned stores, and, as the name suggests, they offer students a lower annual cost for textbook usage for renting textbooks instead of buying them. It was at the behest of Parkside Student Government Association that the chancellor ordered the textbook study group in Spring 2005 n ,m! J®xtbook rental Pro§rams may just be a golden calf for universities and colleges like UW-Parkside that have always contracted their bookstore services. Follett has been with the university since 1988, but even 20 years earlier, when the university was founded, it brought in another company to manage the store. Transferring from a contract bookstore to a rental would still require "a middle ground" of a self-run bookstore, Haskey said. Schools like UW-Milwaukee with self-run bookstores are in a better position to switch over to a textbook rental program, because they already have the management and stock in place. "What we've found is that UW institutions that have had textbook rental have (had that program] for a long time," Haskey said. "They are part of the institutions so thev wouldn't necessarily have those costs to incorporate it." The other downside to rental programs is the hit that the university takes in said**165*1' Wh,Ch StUdCntS feel buried in the cost of tuition and segregated fees, Haskey Since UW-Parkside's campus bookstore's sales comprise about 90 percent on average in textbook sales, if it wanted to self-manage its store or start a textbook rental program Haskey says, it would have to figure out how to finance the startup costs for selling the other 10 percent of other materials. i .,Th°Se SJUndry ite™S'like trade books not earmarked for classes, school supplies clothing, and gifts, only make up 8 percent of UW-Parkside bookstore sales—a meaeer portion compared to the almost-40 percent of goods sold nationwide that were not required class material. Professors' Role in Cost Influence is Critical "Adopting" a textbook for a class less than five weeks before the start of a new semester will drastically affect the cost of the book, Rosselini and Haskey said Both acknowledged that the professors adopting books for their courses are the final authoritv on what reading material students need. y I hat s their skill set," Haskey said. "That's what they're paid to know." The textbooks study group found, however, that there may be some additional measures that professors can take to alleviate the textbook burden that students feel "If laculty members are more aware of the influences of pricing of textbooks maybe they'll think the new edition isn't as important," he said. If a professor knows that a book they have adopted is bundled material, Haskey suggests that they look for an alternate single text. He also advised professors to ask publishers how frequently new editions come out. For classes with high turnover of professors or that are often taught by adjunct faculty or tor classes with multiple sections taught by different professors, Haskey suggested that departments or instructors adopt a policy that would decide on one book for a specified period of time. Final Report: "Advisory Committee is Next Step" I he texbook study group's final report advised that UW-Parkside form a bookstore advisory committee, which many other college campuses have. The advisory committee, the report states, "will provide a forum lor addressing operational issues, and educating and enhancing communication to campus constituents." It could assist in contract evaluations and the relocation of the bookstore to the Student Union and "would work on ways to implement the textbook study group's recommendations." Haskey is heading up the textbook advisory committee, which he hopes will convene soon. He said that he's met with Follett representatives a number of times legaiding how to iorm the committee, which Follett recommends every institution have. But liist, Hak.sey said, he and Follett will survey the campus community on customer satisfaction with current services. Haskey thinks that the bookstore advisory committee could gather and disseminate mlormation about how students, faculty, and administration can help limit the cost of textbooks. The biggest factor in educating adopters would be students," Haskey said. "If PSGA put together a formalized process or a committee in charge of that, I would suspect that would be the most effective." I laskey also envisions that he and the bookstore managers will volunteer to present solutions at departmental or faculty-senate meetings. 1 suspect that [education] will probably be the first charge of the bookstore advisory committee, Haskey said: though, he hesitated to promise anything before a few students and professors volunteer to sit on the committee. "Once the committee is formalized, we can decide what action to take." "Committed, Optimistic" Members Needed for Bookstore Committee Haskey wants to get the five- to seven-member committee together as soon as possible. (U "We're looking at the timing situation right now," Haskey said. "We're looking for me best way ol finding those who are interested in participating." Those on the committee would solicit their governance groups for feedback on action items and serve m a largely advisory capacity, as members of the previous study group.

Founding members, Tony Bresette and Chris "Jumbo" lnloes, returned to the school they once frequented to play the classic rock tunes that they adore. The Union that awaited them on Tuesday was a bit larger than what they remembered playing to full crowds in, because UW-Parkside's former Union is now the Child Care Center nearTallenl Hall. As the band acquainted themselves with their new venue, the crowd trickled in sparingly - not the attendance that either The Beat or the band hoped for that night. Music isn't all about crowds, though, as lnloes said, "We're having a good time. We enjoy this music, and we enjoy playing so much. If there are two people to entertain out there, we're happy." The feeling of returning to his former school definitely turned back the clock for Bresette, who said, "It makes me feel like a kid again. It reminds me of when 1 w as 21 or 22." Speaking of youth and twcnlysomcthings, two members of the Root River Band are actual UW-Parksidc students, treasurer of The Beat and trombonist Lance Uttkc and son of Tony Bresette and trumpeter, Chris Bresette. "I'm proud of him," said Bresette of his son Chris. "He's the musician in the family, and Parkside is quite the school." Chris Bresette's music education through life and here at UW-Parksidc helped prepare him for the unexpected day when he would play live with his father. "It's great. I wanted to play with my dad for eight years," said Chris Bresette. "I used to live in a different city and talk about it. and nothing ever became of it. just not the right circumstances. When my dad met up again with Jumbo, it was a good opportunity for me to gel to play with my dad and actually be in a band with him. It's the best thing." The other music major, Ultke, wound up becoming a part of the band by word of mouth from his friend Chris Bresette. "I knew Chris from wind ensemble, and he asked me to come out," said Uttke. "1 gave it a shot, and I enjoyed it. I don't remember any gig we have had that hasn't been fun." The similarity of two former UWParkside students jamming in a band and passing on that love of music to two present day UW-Parkside Students did not go unnoticed. "1 think it shows that music expands, that the next generation is being trained hdre," said Ami Boutcrse. faculty advisor for The Beat, who helped herself to a birthday concert that very night. As for being able to promote such an Rock Old Stomping Grounds vent, event. Ayesu Lartcy, The BBeeaatt pprreessiiddeenntt,. said, "I think it is cool that the school allows us to put on these concerts." The event also got promotional help from Director of Public Relations Dave Buchanan on the UW-Parkside web site. "He did help us a lot on this," said lnloes of Buchanan. "He did a nice article on the web site; he's been very responsive to us, and I'm really pleased with what he did." Despite the promotional effort's lack of drawing in a crowd, the band played with enthusiasm, and the few in the audience sang, clapped, and danced along to classics from The Beatles, Neil Young, The Eagles, and many more. "It's all about the music, and it's all about fun. and in this case, it's also about the music club. The Beat." said Uttke, who was grateful for all who showed up and supported the concert. Since there was a minimal crowd, the band hopes to return next school year for .a second attempt at bringing out the student populace from the woodwork. Regarding future concerts, Uttke said, "I have pride for Parkside, and to come back here and play as an alumnus would be amazing, beyond anything 1 could think of. Come on out next time. You're going to have a blast." As for that night, though, lnloes said, "It's been great to return here to Parkside." For further information on Tony, Jumbo, and the Root River Band, visit their web site at www.Tony-Jumbo.com. As for The Beat, they would like all who can to come to their next event. "It's Belle and the Magic Flute showing on Wednesday. March 29th. at 7:30 p.m. in the [Communication Arts] theater," said Sandra Danielson, The Beat vice president. The hour and a half performance will be $6 for adults; $4 for students, seniors, and children; and free for children 5 and under. According to Boutcrse, "It's Beauty and the Beast meets Mozart's The Magic Flute, set in a 1950's diner." How to Relate to Bf TYRONE PAY TON Women's history has been a campus focus throughout the month of March, and as the month comes to a close, now is the time to reflect upon the lessons learned from female recognition.

I take a moment to reflect on all the acknowledgments of the important people recognized during this month and one of the things they all have in common: menstruation. As we all know, March is Women's History Month, and with all the recognition of history being celebrated, we have a few things here at UW-Parkside to celebrate as well. I saw the Women's Center with sliding window wide open for the first time this semester. They have struggled this past year, first, getting up and running and then getting a hard smack in the face from SUFAC members cutting next year's budget drastically, but they are pulling through and continuing to make waves throughout this campus. With so many women on campus, one might find it surprising that they have had such a difficult time. But although this month is celebrating the achievements of women, we must still remember that being a womyn is no walk in the park. A person would be delusional if they thought that women were born with the same opportunities as men, even in this day and age. Since introductory sociology is generally a required credit, 1 am assuming that most people are not unfamiliar with the glossy glass ceiling that most women look up through on a daily basis. Although it might not have had much of an effect on the SUFAC budget, I think it is important to point out that with a majority of men on the committee, it may not be surprising that the Women's Center's budget was pathetically shaved down. Oh, but I forgot, this is March, and look at how far women have come. Just look at the Union Bridge and you can see what great accomplishments women, like Sacagawea and Barbara Walters, have made. Oh, and one cannot forget Condaliza Rice, my very own role model. I must also admit some of my gripes 1 have had with the Women's Issues committee in PSGA over the past year. In the beginning of fall semester, I found it interesting that the only executive positions in PSGA held by women were the combined role of secretary and PC2, public relations, and the infamous Women's Issue's committee directors. Please excuse my redundancy while I repeat those: secretary, public relations (big fancy word for promotions), and Women's Issues. Is everybody following me orchis one? Even when they switched out their vice president and pro tempore positions, did Dave Koss back any women candidates? And in this upcoming election, do you see any women running for president or vice president who are backed by PSGA'a incumbent STAR party? Or does the STAR party view this step like both the Republican and Democratic parties do: as political suicide? Even with all the recognition March brings, I a m still wondering how far we have actually made it as a sex. Like many civil rights movements of the 60's, women seem to have lost their drive. We have fought tooth and nail to get where we are, and now, it seems, we are content to just buy whitening strips and manicures. Maybe Virginia Wolf was right when she said, concerning Mary Carmichael in ARoom of One's Own, that perhaps "men were no longer to her 'the opposing faction'; she need not waste her time railing against them." Maybe women no longer view living as their sex as a struggle, and they take their privaledges for granted. Women have gained,so much that we do not feel the need to "rail against" the men any longer. Maybe it is the difficulties we have as a society that are actually defining what a women is. What makes a women different from a man anyway, besides having ovaries, a pair of tits, a uterus, and that beautiful dark blood that flows out of that uterus once (or more) a month? Those are her biological organs that allow science to define her, but this definition is not always as simple as we would be led to believe. With breast, uterus, and ovarian cancer, not all women have these organs. With the occurrence of menopause, not all women's bodies release eggs to be collected on that cushion of blood and then released. And with the issues of sex and gender orientation, our society fails at the attempt to simplify the binaries between men and women. These issues should be acknowledged, but for sake of word count, I am unable to completely dive into the topic. I am overjoyed that the Women's Center is getting back on its feet, and I hope more women and men will flock to its door to lend a hand. I am happy that PSGA has found the need to recognize women throughout the entire year with a committee, especially when that is the one committee really kicking this school in the balls. I just hope that women's power will not stop here, that we will continue to strive for more power and acknowledgement. We have come a long way, but we haven't hit menopause just yet. We have got to keep this cycle flowing, and with each wave that crests and falls back into the tide, another one should always be there, waiting to hit like a freak'n tsunami.

I might be going out on a limb, but I would guess there are more than five people of "color" that are gay at UW-Parkside. If, and only if, this assumption is true, then those possible figments of my imagination are the ones we as brothers and sisters should be concerned about. The panel was there to let others know they are not alone. Yet after the hour or so flew by. I looked behind me and saw only three other people. Were all the members of the minority groups at UW-Parkside. The price of admission to hear the discussion panel cost nothing. This was an excellent opportunity for these organizations to show they are strong and that the money they receive is being used to support and unify minority students. This panel of students, which set out to reach out to others, succeeded in reaching at least one person. Although I was not the targeted audience, being that I am heterosexual and not quite the color they were looking for, (a "color nonetheless") I g ained something we all look for: understanding. So, to the panel of Color Me Queer, I commend your bravery, your compassion, and most of all your patience. You'll reach them; once they hear you, they will have no choice, for you can't lose an argument with the tools your hearts' carry, absolute truth, and understanding. mfi to the Den In the Parkjide Union Everyone has an opinion!

The game, played in two halves of forty minutes, favored the Raiders in their red jerseys in the first half, as the guys in the Ranger trademark green went into halftime down 2 scores to 1. These scores, or tries as they are called in rugby, were lacking the decisive conversion point that is taken after a successful try in traditional rugby, because there were no goalposts on the field at Petrifying Springs. Without goalposts then to provide a simpler tiebreaking situation, the two rugby clubs would have to fight to gain the most tries and play to avoid a tie. The Rangers took a tenacious effort into the second half, restricting the Raiders from increasing on their lead, and instead pushed the ball in for two consecutive successful tries to open the half. Up 3 to 2, the Raiders clawed out one more successful try to bring the score back to being neck and neck. With time counting down, the Rangers went for one last push after kicking the ball deep into opposing territory. As the ball was a few feet from another score, the Rangers went into a final scrum for the last point. The rugby scrum is where both opposing teams gather into a mass of interlocking bodies and then drive up against each other while the ball is tossed underneath their legs. The teams then fight for ball possession by kicking the ball behind them or driving back the other team through force until a free player can claim the ball. Typically, the ball is kicked out in a scrum, but the Rangers drove back the Raiders while in the scrum, and escorted the ball into position for a score, leading then 4 to 3. The half ended within the next minute to give Parkside the victory. "I think Parkside has come a long way as far as today," said assistant head coach, Johan LeGrange. "We got a lot of young rookies coming up, but we did fare well for the first game of the season." Following the game, both teams briefly rested before returning to the field for a friendly scrimmage. As LeGrange suited up in a jersey to join in on the fun, he said, "It's always fun to play." Ice tied the game a few times after that but was never able to take the lead back, and Premium Saltines were able to make numerous key plays down the stretch and won the game 76-68. In the Ranger Bailers versus Underdogs game, the Ranger Bailers were able to get off to a good start and used that to head into halftime with a 31-26 lead. They proceeded to increase their lead early in the second half and took a commanding 50-39 lead with about 10:00 left. But the Underdogs were not about to go down without a fight and proceeded to cut that lead to From Worst to Firsl BY SAFI KHALEEL The Intramural Basketball Double Elimination Tournament had their first night of games, on March 23. There were two games on this particular night: The Premium Saltines versus Dentyne Ice and the Ranger Bailers versus Underdogs. The Premium Saltines versus Dentyne Ice game was very close throughout the entire first half as Dentyne Ice headed into halftime with the slim lead of 41-40. Premium Saltines were able to start the second half very well and took a 58-53 lead with about 10 minutes left in the game. Dentyne Last Minute Drive to BY C. CANTWELL After struggling to win any games last season, the Cabrass recently found themselves in the intramural floor hockey championship game Tuesday, March 21, in the Sports and Activity Center, and the Cobrasss won 3-2. The keys to victory for the Cobrasss who played against Sure Shot, a well-rounded team known for crisp play and attitude, were their special style of cobra trap defense and the girl managers on the sidelines. The "emo boppers" said that once they started coming to the games, the Cobrasss started winning. The match-up was close until the final period. The score was 2-2 with under 5 minutes to play when MVP Cameron Stoewe snuck a shot past the Sure Shot goalie. That shot gave Stoewe his second goal of the game and put his team ahead for good. Alex Swayze scored the team's only other goal. Ending their improbable run from worst to first, the Cobrasss won respect ~nd a t-shirt commemorating their championship. March 28, 2006 Brooms ^ and Blankets at Ranger Softball "If we <an play better every day this last month of the season, we'll give ourselves a pretty good (han<e to advance to regionals." Laura Fillip Head coach BY C. CANTWELL The UW-Parkside Rangers Softball team played their first home game of the year Thursday, March 23, with a doubleheader versus the Olivet Nazarene Tigers. The Rangers won the first game 3-0. The real story of the day was the weather; at game time the conditions were near blizzard. Head coach Laura Fillip said, "If we didn't have heaters in the dugout, I wouldn't have let my girls play." Commenting on other factors that led to the decision to play two non-conference games in the snow. Fillip said, "We have a conference game here this Sunday, and if we're gonna play then, we should try to get used to the weather." She added, "1 don't know if there is any advantage to that at all, but we should be able to play in the cold weather." The first game did not feature much offense, and small ball was the determining factor in who came out victorious. Both teams only totaled three hits. For the Rangers, Michelle Racine had two of the team's three hits. In the third inning, Katrina Homa singled through the left side to score a run. Then two throwing errors resulted in two more runs for the Rangers before the inning came to an end. Capitalizing on errors and base on balls, the Rangers put the pressure on, and the Tigers were unable to mount a comeback. Defensively, Meagan Shimkus took the mound for the Rangers and pitched four innings while scattering two hits and striking out seven. Erica Swan came in as a reliever and threw three strong innings, only giving up one hit. While the snow really started flying during the second game, the Ranger bats heated up. In the home half of the first inning, back-to-back walks led to an RBI single for Michelle Racine. Two batters later, Stephanie Madry lined a shot into right center, clearing the bases with two more RBI's. In total, seven of the nine lady Rangers made a plate appearance in the first inning. Olivet Nazarene scored its only run of the game on a rushed throw from third base that could have ended the second inning. More offense came in the fifth inning when Allison Wodziak hit a dribbler right in front of home plate that the catcher quickly scooped up. Lauren Madry was on third base and came home hard, knocking the ball out of the catcher's mitt to score the first of four more runs. With the bases loaded, Racine took four pitches to score a run. Fillip then called for Emily Grenier to pinch hit. Grenier smoked a single to the wall in right center to score the final two runs. Anna Bluemel took to the rubber for the start of game two. She began the game giving up back-to-back singles before settling in and retiring three in a row with runners on second and third. Cassie Moreland came on in relief, giving up five hits in the final three innings. Olivet Nazarene left 12 runners stranded on base during the second game. "Their roster is down a little bit, and they have some injuries, but traditionally they have a pretty good team," said Fillip. "If we can play better every day this last month of the season, we'll give ourselves a pretty good chance to advance to regionals," she added. The sweep moved the Rangers over the .500 mark to 10-9. The Tigers fell to 13-10 with the two losses.
