Staph infections shut down Sports and Activities Center Series Number The series number of the original collection.

VLMER VlmerOOO@uwp.edu After an isolated group of University of Wisconsin - Parks ide athletes were diagnosed with staphylococcus (staph) infections, portions of the Sports and Activities Center were temporarily shut down on Wednesday, Oct. 17. After the areas were closed to investigate the public health issue, the affected areas were then reopened to the public on Friday, Oct. 19. The athletes who were diagnosed with infections are currently being investigated to determine whether or not the staph infections are methicillin- resistant staphylococcus aureus. The results of those tests will not be available until early this week. MRSA is resistant to many of the broad-spectrum antibiotics commonly used to treat staph infect.ions. Because MRSA can resist all but the strongest of drugs, it can cause more serious infections like pneumonia and joint and bloodstream infections. Responding to the possibility of MRSA infections, officials immediately shut down high-contact areas used by the student athletes. Disinfecting procedures received from the Kenosha County Health Department were implemented, THE RANGER NEWS University of Wisconsin-Porkside's Student Newspaper October 23, 2007 News Since 1972 Staph"iiiieoc"ti~jii;'jd';iiiit"'ibd'~'wi1'""" Sports and Activities Center This is a scanning eJectron micrograph depicting Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. S. aureus, often referred to simply as "staph". are bacteria commonly carried on the skin or in the nose of healthy people. Staph bacteria are one of the most common causes of skin infections in the United States. http://www.lib.uiowa.edulhardin/md/cdc/staph/sem4.html and the KCHD visited campus on Thursday, Oct. 18 to determine that the university had taken all necessary precautions to reopen the facility. Staph bacteria are normally found on the skin or in the nose of about one-third of the population. lf a person has staph on his skin but does not feel sick, he is "colonized" but not infected with the bacteria. Healthy people can be colonized and experience no ill effects; however, it is easy to spread the bacteria to others. When staph bacteria enter the body through an injury to the skin, symptoms may include redness, warmth, swelling and tenderness of the skin, as well as boils or blisters. Staph is most often spread through direct skin- to-skin contact, but can also be picked up from commonly shared items. To control MRSA outbreaks on sport teams, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all athletes shower and wash with soap after all practices and competitions. All wounds that could be potentially infectious skin lesions should be adequately covered, or the athletes who are infected should be excluded from practice until the lesions are healed or can be adequately covered. Also, all shared sports equipment should be regularly cleaned. The best way to prevent the spread of staph infections is to practice good hand washing. The Wisconsin Division of Public Health recommends washing the hands with anti-bacterial soap under hot water for at least 15 seconds. They also strongly discourage sharing personal items such as towels, clothing, soap and deodorant. If a student develops a skin lesion, he or she should contact the Student Health and Counseling Center at 262-595- 2366. The SAC staff will soon receive training to educate patrons on how to prevent infections. Hand sanitizers will also be available at each activity area in the SAC.

VLMER U1merOOO@uwp.edu Northwestern Mutual, an insurance and financial services company, is now hiring interns for their Racine office. This internship is listed as one of the top ten internships in America by the 2006 edition of the Vault Guide to Internships. Other top ten internships include the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, Electronic Arts, Hewlett Packard, INROADS, National Institutes of Health, New York Yankees, Procter & Gamble, SEO Career Program and the Supreme Court of the United States. The internship at Northwestern Mutual allows students to work the way a full- time employee of the company would work, but with part-time hours. They can also choose which hours to work and work around their school schedules. Most internships last for one semester to up to two years, allowing students to work part- time during the school year and full-time during the summer. "You do not necessarily have to do all of your work in- house," said recruiter Amanda Stanaitis. "I cannot stress enough the flexibility that comes with this internship," she added. Interns make a commission based upon sales, which are primarily insurance sales, as well as a stipend of $100 per week. The top fifty percent of interns make an average commission of $9,584 per year. Although the internship deals primarily in sales, Stanaitis explained the benefits of gaining strong sales experience. "Until you sell yourself, I can guarantee that you will not be able t.osell me anything else unless you really love it," said Stanaitis. "Almost all jobs you apply for. ..always appreciate sales experience." At Northwestern Mutual, interns are offered insurance and financial classes. They are also invited to participate in the company's annual meeting and awards show, which recognizes the year's top interns. New interns are first trained in a workshop setting and then attend weekly meetings to work on individual areas needing improvement. Continuing training for employees includes workshops with the managing director and one-an-one meetings with lead interns. Training can "go as fast or as slow as you want it to go," accord.ing to Stanaitis. After submitting a resume, students are required to fill out an online assessment to determine their skills. Then, they may be requested for an interview with the managing director and may be asked to give a presentation about themselves. Successful applicants will also be given 10- 15 marketing surveys to get a feel for the market before starting on the job. Students who arc studying accounting, banking, business, economics, finance, insurance, marketing and sales are welcome to apply. Those who are interested in this internship can submit their resumes to Stanaitis at Amanda.stanaitis@mnfn. com. For more information about this internship opportunity, visit www.nrninternship.com.

Despite their help, we still lost both of the matches We played, but it was still a lot offun. One of our newer reporters, Ryan Montross, even decided to cover the event as his first sports article. This is where problems with accuracy came in. Ryan was very eager to get quotes from other students who were competing in the tournament. So eager, in fact, that he did not realize that some of the players were giving him false names. PaJ1 of the problem was also that they gave him fake names wh.ich were fairly obscure, and in some cases, he did not notice the en-or until he tried searching some of the names online to find they were the names of little-known celebrities or h.istorical individuals. I hope the individuals involved in this whole fiasco understand that giving false information to the newspaper, although it is not illegal as it would be if you lied to the police, is at the very least not a good practice. Not only does it compromise our integrity, but also your integrity for not telling the truth. On a brighter note, The Ranger News staff has voted to approve professor Adrienne Viramontes' request to serve as our advisor. We look forward to working with her and think sbe will be a valuable asset to our staff. Congratulations, Adrienne! Opinion Editor One of the goals of this newspaper, and all newspapers for that matter, is to provide timely and accurate news. As a weekly, we sometimes struggle to stay timely, but we always strive to report information accurately.

If an agreement by both sides could DOt be reached soon, governorJim Doyle threatened toclose all the schools within theUW-System, including UW-Parkside, for the upcoming UW-System survives budget crisis spring semester. However, on Tuesday, October 23, Governor Doyle approved a state budget proposal. Of the 52 Assembly Republicans, only 23 voted in favor of the budget; however, all 18 of the Senate democrats voted to pass the budget. The bipartisan vote passed the bndget by a margin of 60 to 39 by republicans and a 18 to 15 vote by democrats in the Senate. The budget for the state over the next two years is set at $57.2 billion. There is going to be more than $525 million for public schools, as well as $21 million for every university in the UW-system for financial aid and grants for students. With the state budget passing, there are many implications, but one of the most pressing issues for students is how financial aid will be affected. Financial aid will be disbursed next week to students. There are more than 5,700 students who are on the waiting list for a Wisconsin Higher Education Grant (WHEO). The WHEG awards can be worth as much as $2,700 for this school year per student. The budget will raise funding for WHEG by $26 million over the next two years. Additionally, the Wisconsin Covenant was created as a result of the state budget passing. The Wisconsin Covenant guarantees financial assistance to students across the state who graduate from high school and have good grades. BadgerCare, which gives low-cost health insurance to low-income families across the state. has also been expanded to allow all kids who live in Wisconsin to be covered by insurance regardless of their family's financial situation. and lets people who live in low- income households to purchase BadgerCare for the first time ever. The new budget places limits on the increases on property taxes that the counties, villages. towns, and cities can levy for the next two years. Furthermore, there are $200 million being cut from various state agencies through 2009. The State Medical Society of Wisconsin vowed to file a lawsuit against the transfer of $200 million from the state's fund for paying claims of malpractice. Doyle said that the transfer is perfectly legal. The law states that state governments can operate at levels at which it has in the past until a new budget agreement could be reached; however. Doyle claimed that a shut down of all UW-universities might have had to occur in order to assure that only essential services within the state were set aside. The logic behind the threat of the governor. in his mind, was that because it was entirely possible for the UW-System to go bankrupt in the middle of the upcoming semester. it would be irresponsible to have the universities in session during the spring. continued on page 5 AMessage of Equality and Hope Judy Shepard speaks on campus "Thisis not a gay thing, this is a hate thing."

Wyoming in 1998; he was targeted specifically because he was guy, Shepard now speaks out azainst hate crimes and to prom~te equality. Aside fro~ the individuals present, Shepard s appearance also drew the attention of the Kenosha News, the Racine Journal Times, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, as well as live coverage from Milwaukee's TV station WTMJ- 4. Shepard's appearance on campus was made possible through the contributions of . many different groups IOclu~g Student Health and Counseling Services, Student Activities. Parkside Student Government Association, Rainbow Alliance, and the Sociology and Theatre Arts Departments. All proceeds from the nights event have gone to the Matthew Shepard Foundation, a group founded by Mathew's parents as an effort to raise awareness, and the most fitting memorial they could think of for their son. After an introduction by Rainbow Alliance's President. Dayvin Hallman, a video produced by the Matthew Shepard Foundation called attention to Matthew's death, as well as that of James Byrd. Jr who was also killed in 1998 in·Jasper, Texas when he was beaten, chained to the back of a truck, and dragged three miles. Byrd's attackers were white supremacists carrying out an attack on an African-American A standing ovation greeted Sbepard just after 7 p.m. She thanked the crowd which had, "given up Monday Night Football" to see her speak. She began by reminding the c~o\Vd that, "This is not a gay thing, this is a hate thing." Shepard proceeded then with reciting the Victim Impact Statement she had given at the trial of her contmued on page 4 Segregated University Fee Allocations Committee revises bylaws KAITLYN M. ULMER UlmerOOO@uwp.edu The Segregated University Fee Allocations Committee (SUFAC) voted last week to revise a portion of their bylaws in order to clarify issues of bias. SUFAC determines the way in which student segregated fees are allocated to programs and activities that promote the interests of the student body. All students pay segregated fees and those fees go toward funding major status student organizations. as well as other programs such as athletics. The portion of the bylaws in question addresses whether students on SUFAC can participate in the discussion and voting on an organization to which they claim membership. If a student votes to approve the budget for an organization, and he is a member of that organization, there may exist some level of bias in his decision. Prior to revision, the portion of the bylaws read as "Come get that good copy!" follows: "Members of the SUFAC who are also members or advisors of SUFAC funded Organizati ns, or were such during the last academic year. must abstain from involvement in discussion. An individual must leave the room for the SUFAC discussion and voting discussion jf he or she is receiving a stipend from that organization r department. Senators are exempt from this rule when in regards to Parks ide Student Govcmmem Association lPSGA]." The issue was raised by Carly-Anne Ravniknr. SUFAC member and PSGA senator. that SUFAC needs to "more accurately define and acknowledge biases." This included discussing what the definition of "member" is in the context of the SUFAC bylaws. Ravnikar brought this up as a topic of discussion in the weekly SUFAC meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 23. Ravnikar said that the SUFAC members are members of PSGA, so it is unfair that continued on page 5 'cw:. Briefs The Barn fired down. Wellness Hea lth Fa ir.

This week, we decided to try and cover the state budget and all of the Issues and controversy surrounding it. At the start of the week, the budget was still on hold, and Governor Doyle was making threats of closing down th~ UW~system or at least significantly raising tuition. A group of students, ID conjunction WIth United Council, planned to rally and protest on the State steps in Madison on Wednesday, Oct. 24. However that rally was cancelled when the state budget seemed to finally be making some 'progress. In fact, on Tuesday the budget was passed and come Friday, Doyle signed off on it. News changes really fast, and we sometimes struggle to keep up with it. That was the case this week. Our news page editor was trying to write his article for our Thursday deadline, and on Saturday, when he came in to edit, J told him he would need to rewrite it. Of course, he wasn't very happy that he had to spend several hours revising the article, but it was an obvious necessity. We do not want to run old and outdated news in our newspaper. Personally, J am very glad that the budget passed. J am sure that there are many other students that agree. Doyle's threat that the school could be shut down in spring, even if it was an empty threat, terrified me because I am only one semester away from graduation. Also, the threat of tuition increases by as much as $800 next semester greatly alarmed me. As it is. J am already having a hard time earning enough money to pay for my tuition, much less fund a huge tuition increase. J am glad that we can bring students some good news, rather than the doom-and- gloom news I thought we would have to report earlier this week. At the same time, I encourage our readers to let us know the news, as soon as you find out. The Ranger News staff is just a small percentage of the student population here at the University of Wisconsin _ Parks ide and it is nearly impossible for us to keep up with all the news, especially with how fast it moves. In case you have not noticed, we spend most of our time on computers sitting at desks, so we cannot always run fast enough to catch the news. Or maybe I am the only one who is completely athletically deficient. There are reasons why I am not an athlete. pinion Editor taff Reporters Kochael Boker Boker032@uwp.edu Ramon Joimez ioimeOOl@uwp.edu Ryon MQnlrOls ryonmo 19BB@sbcglobol.net Mackenzie Hei~e heise007@uwp.edu R~on AshtQn osloOOl@uwp.edu Kaitlyn M.

News Briefs Second annual Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming The National Wildlife Federation's Campus Ecology program is sponsoring the second annual Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming competition. This competition will identify and reward colleges' efforts and creative activities to reduce their contribution to global warming pollution. Efforts include programs addressing clean energy, energy efficiency, alternative transportation, and habitat restoration. Schools are eligible to win grant funding as well as a feature in Chill Out: Campus Solutions to Global Warming, nationwide multimedia broadcasting on April 16, 2008, hosted by George Washington University in Washington DC. There are two ways for schools to enter the contest. Schools can describe in 500 words or less what their college or university is now doing to help solve the global warming crisis, or create a 3-roinute video about their efforts and upload it onto www.youtube. com. The deadline to enter the contest is November 30, 2007. Newest UWP- TV video released Two weeks ago UWP- TV uploaded a new edition of UWP-TV online. UWP-TV can be viewed at httpJ/youtube. com/nser/uwptv. UWP- TV began at the beginning of this semester. The previous edition of UWP- TV featured Chancellor Keating addressing new students, and interviews with members of The Ranger News and Parkside Student Government Association. The most recent edition of UWP-TV features reporters interviewing members of'., Rainbow.Alliance at the Student Organization Fair and lnsieme Italia for Italian Heritage Month. corrections Dear Fellow Students, Rainbow Alliance wishes to express its dismay at the usage of the words "sexual preference" that were written in last weeks article about National Coming Out Day. Instead of writing "sexual preference" the words "sexual identity" and "sexual orientation" should have been used. The words "sexual preference" imply that individuals or groups nf people are not born LGBTQ but simply chose to be that way. Rainbow Alliance would like to remind everyone that NO ONE chooses to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, or same gender loving they simply are LGBTQIS. People who need clarity in this matter are encouraged to come to the Rainbow Alliance office in the library on the second floor room 283 or call our office (262) 595-2685. Thank you, Dayvin Hallman Rainbow Alliance President 3--------=-------------=~Th~e~Ra~ng~e~r~N~e!w~s __ October 30, 2007 LICE ( Oct. 18 07-2399 Liquor Law Violation.

UWP-TV can be viewed al http: //yo utube. com/user/uwptv. UWP-TV began at the beginning of this semester. Dear Fellow Students, The previous edition ofUWP- TV featured Chancellor Keating addressing new 1,tudents, and interviews with members of The Ranger News and Parkside Student Government Association. corrections The mo st recent edition of UWP-TY features reporters interviewing members of Rainbow Alliance at the Student Organization Fair and Insieme Italia for Italian Heritage Month. Rainbow Alliance wishes to express its dismay at the usage of the words "sexual preference•· that were written in last weeks article about National Coming Out Day. Instead of writing "sexual preference" the words "sexual identity" and "sexual orientation" should have been used . The words "sexual preference " imply that individuals or groups of people are not born LGBTQ but simply chose to be that way. Rainbow Alliance would like to remind everyone that NO ONE chooses to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender , queer, intersex, or same gender loving they simply are LGBTQIS. People who need clarity in this matter are encouraged to come to the Rainbow Alliance office in the library on the second floor room 283 or call our office (262) 595-2685. Thank you, Dayvin Hallmon Rainbow Alliance President P*~---- 4 October 30. 2007 The Ranger News Barn burns down After Judy Shepard A lire destroyed a barn on the University of Wisconsin - Parkside campus the night of OcL 25. There is no word of injuries, but there was significant damage to the barn. The barn contained propane tanks and fertilizer, as well as equipment for the cross-country team. At the tinle of printing, the UW- Parks ide campus police would release no additional information about the incident. A Message of Equality and Hope, continued from front page son's murderers. Afterwards she went on to address the many issues that the country faces in achieving.equality for all of its citizens, including the proposed federal bill ENDA, Employment Non-Discrimination Act. With its current wording, ENDA would protect the rights of employees regardless of sexual orientation, but has no provision for trans gender people. In the eyes of Judy Shepard, and many other equal rights activists, an all-inclusive ENDA is what we really need. President Bush was addressed by Shepard when she discussed the Matthew Shepard Act, a federal Hate- Crime bill. She commented on the President's open statements about vetoing any legislation that includes the term "sexual orientation." President Bush, as well as many conservatives, believes homosexuality to be a choice and so prefer the term "sexual preference;" the idea of choosing ones sexual orientation is a concept patently denied by the LGBTQISA community. Judy Shepard also found it disheartening that even thougb Vice-President Cheney has an openly gay daughter, neither he nor his daughter has taken advantage of their positions to push for equality. . Other issues raised that night include the use of words such as «gay" or «queer" negatively, thus turning them into hate speech. Before ending with a short Q & A, Shepard expressed her belief that the war was won. Despite the lack of legal equality, and tbe continued social stigma associated with the LGBTQISA community, she believes that the next generation is far more accepting than those before it and that it is just a matter of time before full equality is realized. RAMON A. JAIMEZ jaimeOOl@uWP·edu The days following Judy Shepard's appearance at UW- Parks ide have been reflective. Even though Shepard believes that equality is a given and that it will simply take time to be realized, others are less sure. The day following Shepard's appearan.ce, an unsigned postcard was sent to Theatre Arts Department Chair, Dean Yohnk, in which Matthew Shepard is referred to as a freak and a misfit. Professor Yobnk believes that the continued lack of acceptance at UW-Parkside as represented by the postcard, "is why we need to do the play." Aside from the postcard, the majority of comments made to Professor Yohnk have been positive and supportive. He himself was thri lied at the number of people who made it out to see Mrs. Shepard speak, as well as the fact that the Parkside production of The Laramie Project, the play about Mathew Shepard written by Moises Kaufman, already has a number of sold out shows. Speaking about the postcard, Professor Yohnk said that it was a shame that the author, «didn't have the courage to sign it," and that signing it would have had a lot more impact, Dayvin Halimon, Rainbow Alliance's President, was unable to D&fCC with Shepard's optimism. Though pleased with the overall turnout to the event, he was concerned about the . motives of some attendees, as apparently some professors were giving students class credit for attending. Hallmon stated that there have been other speakers on campus with messages as important as Judy Shepard's, but whose speeches received less attention without the added incentive of grade-boosting. Hallmon also went on to say that the struggle for someone to be who they are can be very hard, including those whose families would be less accepting than the Shepards. The challenge of living openly is especially hard for those who are members of sports teams at UW· Parkside and everywhere else; sports teams are still bastions of homophobia. The question of sexuality and race is alsoan important one. Minorities often come from cultures that are strongly against hnmosexuality, a reason for support groups to meet their needs, like QPOC, Queer People of Color. In the Racine and Kenosha communites, there are no support networks available to LGBTQISA people. Hallmon believes that the LGBTQISA Center planned for UW-Parkside will become a bastion of support for UW-Parkside students as well community members. As the Rainbow Alliance President sees it, "we have only begun . to scratch the surface of the glass ceiling." Hallmon and Rainbow AlJiance have received many statements of support just as Dean Yohnk has, but like Professor Yohnk, they believe that equality is still forthcoming and will not be easily attained We now have one less homosexual freak to spread AIDS or lure our children into their perversions. Busybodies at UW-Parkside, I1ke Dean Yohnk, should quit pimping for gays and lesbians and quit showing gay propagand like "The Laramie Project".

The Imaginary Invalid by Moliere is a classic comedy whose jokes are just as funny today as they were in 1674. For those of you who are doubtful about seeing it because you think you will not be able to understand the dialogue, think again. The story is easy for anyone to follow and also includes more modem adaptations made by Miles Malleson that are quick to spot, quicker to laugh at, and go without hindering the original plot. This is certainly something for anyone who likes to enjoy themselves. Argan, played by junior Theatre Arts major Philip Zimmermann, is a hypochondriac, meaning he thinks he is fatally ill and constantly cries out for medical attention. His daughter. Angelica, played by junior Theatre Arts major Robyn Schneider, finds herself in a Romeo and Juliet style romance. The play includes plenty of classic Shakespearian elements for diehard theater fans, as well as two musical interludes to have you dancing in your seats. But most of all, this play is about laugh-aut-loud comedy. The director, Jamie Cheatham, lists Moliere's favorite targets in the playbill, all characteristics we still see Cello, clarinet and piano Abbey Hansen on cello, Dan Paprocki on clarinet, and Mary Drews on piano, performed for a noon concert at the University of Wi~consi~-Parkside?n Wednesday, Oct. 24.

Drews is on the faculty of the Music Institute of Chicago. today: "unscrupulous lawyers, selfish parents, upstart servants, love-struck youngsters, and, of course. ridiculous doctors." No one is safe from Moliere's sense of satire, not even Moliere himself. Even 333 years later, Moliere's final play is still able to leave any audience in stiches. The cast enjoys the show as much as the audience. Michael Jornlin, a first year transfer student who played Argan's intended son-in- law, Thomas, learned a lot from the director, who helped him to find his goals. He loved the color and spectacle of the stage, and I must say, I agree. In my opinion, the set looks like something right OUl of an art museum.

Barnburned"~;-~;~p~~---"' ROBERT ROSATI robertrosati@hotmail.com During the evening of Oct. 25 a fire burnt a barn that was on campus. No one was injured during the unfortunate demise of the barn, which was 90 years old. The barn belonged to those who owned the land on which the University of Wisconsin- Parkside was built. The bam was also a sports storage building before the Sports and Activities Center (SAC) was created. Dave Buchanan, the Public Information Officer of UW-Parkside, said that the barn no longer being around is a "loss for us" and for the "history of the area." There was gas and some lawn mowing equipment in the barn, which accelerated the fire. Propane tanks, usually stored in the barn, were removed from the structure prior to the start of fire. The Kenosha Fire Department fought the fire because they have a contract with the university to do so. Uw-Parkside elected to acquire the services of the Kenosha Fire Department since they are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week as well as reliable. The Kenosha Police Department is currently investigating the events which caused the barn to catch fire. The bam was raised from the surrounding area so some trees as well as the areas around the trees sustained damages from the fire. The ecostructure of the environment is still intact because it was wet when the fire started, which helped minimize the damage done to the land area surrounding the barn. Gender becomes a new issue for UW-System residents and applicants 0 z 0 X c I. t-'. 0'1 l e : a 0 \0 , c, " > • ~ D .. ~ , , !!J ~ Natyra Prater natyra16@netzero.net On Friday, Oct. 26, in the noon meeting for PSGA, senator Carly Ravinkar brought up a Possible Protocol for all UW- System applications. In her report, Ravinkar stated. "RHA [Residence Hall Association)] is the governing bodyof Residence Life and ~nyUniversity ofWisc~nsin Institution cannot be biased against gender because of the Anti~Discrimination policy." She continued to say thatWhen students apply for a~mJsslon and also housing, they ~1I be obligated to check the x which displays sex as well ~ a box which displays gender. his IS not required so if one wereto check the sex box they do ' not have to check the one Containing gender. Sides were divided dueto Confusion and a misunderstanding of why there would be two boxes if sex and gender were one and the same. Ravnikar quickly cleared up any indiscretions and quarrels of the matter by explaining, " .. .gender is based on what you consider yourself or the sex you identify the best with. For example, I may be born a woman but 1 identify better with males. Imagine how uncomfortable the setting would be living in the dorms with women and I don't identify well with them ...[we] have to accommodate all students." The information that would be received from these applications will not only serve for these purposes, but to give the universities a clue as to how many transgender students are attending their institutions. "We have a diverse body of students, so this should be in order because we don't know who it affects," Ravinkar said, after a few students disagreed. Although the idea was explained to this extent, se~ators had different ideas and feelings toward the new bill. Beverly Spires intervened. saying, "If we are going to get this information, we might as well have an 'other' box ... " which was an idea that was not shunned by any senators or officers, but was soon looked over. Others shared their opinions on the issue until time was running short. The protocol that was mentioned has not been set in stone. but the protocol was very concise in its rules and ~ow the application would be .carned out if it were to be established. Staph infection update Mackenzie Heise Heise007@uwp.edu A few weeks ago. several athletes at UW-Parkside contracted staph infections. Since our initial reporting in the Oct. 23 issue of The Ranger News, this is what we know: There has been one confirmed and one possible case of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). MRSA is a more serious strand of a staph infection that does not respond to normal antibiotics, However, both of the atbletes with the infection have completed their treatments and are now officially cleared as "Come get that good copy!" 110 longer contagious. There have been no new outbreaks in the last week. Everyone naturally has some amount of staph on his or her body. It is when the staph colonizes that the problems begin to occur. Staph is often spread through skin-to-skin contact but can be picked up from many common items. Those infected by staph do not necessarily feel ill. infections usually start as small red bumps that look much like pimples or bug bites. These can turn into large painful areas of infection that require draining. As previously reported, parts of the Sports and Activitiy Center were temporarily shut down and thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. Upon reopening, new guidelines were established and have been more forcefully held in place. For example. spray bottles of disinfectant are now more available and must be used in the weight room after using any equipment. There is also hand sanitizer available at many of the facilities in the SAC. From here. the most important thing to do according to Deena Curtis, the head athletic trainer, is to educate people on how to do all they can to prevent a staph infection. The most important thing is to practice good hygiene. This includes washing your hands often, showering immediately after any physical activity. not sharing personal items such as towels. soap, or deodorant, and adequately covering all open wounds. Along with all the normal preventative measures now being taken at the S.A.c. the staff is also purchasing an ozone machine. This machine will fill a room with ozone to kill bacteria. It will be placed on a schedule and moved around the building to various spots with the intent of keeping that area free of some of the bacteria that can spread to cause a staph infection. Even when taking all the precautions described above it is possible to acquire an infection. If you have any questions or concerns involving a staph infection, visit the student health and counseling center.

The Ranger News There are a few things I should apologize for this week, as editor in chief and representative for The Ranger News. One of those things is the arrangement of the pages in last week's issue. Although we electronically submitted the pages in the correct order, our printing company mixed them up. When I saw the papers on Tuesday, I was upset, but had to laugh it off. What else could I do? My only regret is that it wasn't the first week of April so we could say it was "intentional" for April Fool's Day. Last week's issue contained some of the best content we have had this semester. It was just too bad that you could not read it in the correct order. Next, [ want to discuss what slander and libel are and how they affect our Opinion page. Slander is spoken defamation and libel is written defamation.

Find out how, or false claim, expressly stated or irnpl.ied to be factual, that may harm the reputation of an individual, business, product, group, government or nation." Last week, there was one opinion piece that borders on being libel. The individual who wrote this editorial falsely accused Rainbow Alliance of misappropriating student funds. According 10 the definition of libel, this opinion piece could be considered a criminal action because it harms the character of a student organization on campus. The power of the pen is mighty, indeed. The Ranger News does have the editorial right to refuse to print an opinion. However, I will admit that our editorial staff has a very difficult time deciding when to deny publication. Generally, our reasoning is this: If an editorial bashes or directly attacks an individual or group without offering a sensible reason why tbat group is being attacked, we will cut it. Last week, there was one editorial we chose not to run for that very reason. However, the editorial written about Rainbow Alliance, which we did run, should have been considered more carefully. Of course, hindsight is 20120 and all I can do now is apologize. I would like to publicly apologize to Rainbow Alliance for running the editorial, which falsely accused your organization. In the future, we will try to avoid publishing such blatant accusations, or at least investigate them to determine if they are true or false before printing them. Again, I apologize for any harm that has come to your organization as a result of last week's Opinion page, and [ hope that you can forgive me for this oversight. Kaitlyn M.

After spending the first quarter establishing the inner hierarchy of the institution, where the children make extra money through thieving, pimping and prostitution, the director deftly illustrates how Vanya learns from this lifestyle ways to improve his own lol. Rather than corrupting him, it teaches him how to demand something better. Vanya moves undaunted through this world of treachery in order to findsomeome compassion.

ELIZABETH MOWRY KARI1'OWER MowryOOI@uwp.edu lowerOO3@uwp.edu In the American culture. sex is, in Some cases. taboo while in Ot~ers cases it' is too open. Does thiS society focus too much on sex, using it for everything from advertisements about food to campaigns run by presidential ~andidates; or, not enough when It comes to actual matters of life, home. and scbool? This subject gets plastered all over the media. and yet is SO rarely even talked about. This cannot only confuse children and teenagers. but also adults, particularly the College_age adults. "When did you learn about sex?" "Did rOll learn about sex?" "Was the Illformation you were given accurate?" "Who told you? Were discussions encouraged?" "Do you feel you were ready to know?" "How do you feel when sex is talked about?" These are just a few of the questions that seem significant when one broaches the topic of sex. Some people choose to have sex, others choose to. . abstain from all sexual activity, a select few put up safe sexua~ boundaries, while many permit their individual societies to choose for them. The c~o.ice of whether or not one partICipateS in sexual activities can greatly impact one's life. Some feel the need to engage in sexual inter~ourse. others are fine pleasunng themselves, and now the Internet has brought a whole new aspect into the realm of sex. How great of an impact does this have on the lives of college students? The Ranger News is going in-depth and "out on a lim~" to find answers to some questions college students may have, dispel common. yet incorrect. myths and learn ~bout. the reality of sex for the University of Wisconsin - Parks ide student body. There will be a survey given out tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 14 on the Union Bridge. Also, surveys can be found in The Ranger News of~ce Wylie 0139C. There will be a completed-survey box, placed outside Wylie DI39C. The Ranger News office. Everyone.

On the second page of our paper, underneath the staff list, it states the following: "Each person may take one newspaper per issue date. Extra newspapers can be purchased for $1 apiece. Newspapers can be taken at a first come, first serve basis, meaning that once they are gone, they are gone. We work on the honor system, but violators will be prosecuted for theft. Faculty members and student organizations who wish to use The Ranger News in classrooms should consult the editor-in-chief to reserve however many free copies they wish to use." My suggestion to those who wish to use our newspaper for purposes other than reading is that you come down to The Ranger News office and pick up some old issues. We have piles upon piles of old issues stacked up in our back room. Although we need to keep some for our records, portfolios and advertising, the rest usually wind up in recycling. We have issues from last semester even, that deserve a good home, and your artistic needs might just be the best reincarnation they can achieve. In the future, please do not take new issues from the news stands. Those issues are meant to be read and if our stands arc suddenly empty, there might not be any more issues to put out. Tbat stand will remain empty until the next Tuesday, when we do distribution. Also, we have been keeping track of our circulation records each week. We count how many issues are left over in the stands and compare that number to the number of issues distributed. If students are taking extra issues, the count we have for our circulation will not be accurate. Please respect our efforts to get the news out to students and use old issues for any project you have which does not involve actually reading the paper. I would hope that you could use the classified section of your local newspaper for your papier mache projects in the future. To me, the paper is my baby, and you are killing my baby each time you don't give her the time of day to sit down and actually read ber. All right,l will admit that maybe that is taking it a little bit too far. Nevertheless, please respect your campus, your news staff, and your news.

With that inmind, it should come as no Surprise that the UW-Parkside campus proudly hosted a Diwali Festival celebration on Friday, Nov.16. The ceremony began with an introduction from president of theUW-Parkside International Club, Adtnu Tiwari, and his • fellow host, Rattandeep Kaur, whoexplained to the audience thatDiwaJi is the Hindu festival of lights. Diwali stems from the Hindu tradition and the hosts 1be Ranger New5 is writteD and edited by students fl -. .". . .. o he University ofWisc::o""ln"Parbuw lind they are solely ruponslhll: for Its editorial policy and content. spoke of the celebration in the universal themes of life and wealth of knowledge. Following the introduction, a lyrical prayer was sung by Saurnya Bojja, with the help of Anita Zachariah, in Hindi, the native language of India. The first dance was preformed by Saumya Bojja, Anita Zachariah, Ourlee Ouran, and Phoua Xiong. The style of dance is known as Indian fusion, which took parts of classic Indian traditional dance and mixed them with modern, somewhat Western, dance moves. The performers wore matching red saris and they twirled in unison to the up-tempo Indian music. Following the first performance was a dinner, of flavorful,.colorful Indian cuisine, including butter chicken, rajma rice, kheer, naan and salad, courtesy of Aramark catering. Parks ide International Club member Velimir Genov said, "it was really good," even though dishes like that might not have been as common in his native Bulgaria. After the meal was over Adtnu Tiwari said to the, audience, "I think the food was brilliant, wasn't it?" Tiwari and Kaur went on to introduce the second group of dancers who performed a Punjabi folk dance, which, as Kaur explained, is a dance that originated in the state of Punjab in southern India. The energetic movements of the dancers brought audience members to their feet as they watched Lakhveer Kaur, Neha Minhas, and Mishal Raza dance together to the classical sounds of India. Their ankle bells and wrist bangles added to the music and the authenticity of the dance. To close out the performances for the night, Saumya Bojja and Anita Zachariah came up to dance their well-rehearsed Bollywood style duet. This particular style of dancing is based on the popular moves shown in many Mumbai films, better known to Americans as "Bollywood" films. The modem music mixed with the classic sounds of India, such as drums, flutes, and sitars, made for a dance that drew a applause from the crowd. Kaur and Tiwari turned on some spirited Indian music and invited the entire crowd up to learn a traditional Jndian dance called the Dandiya. The dance is done in praise of the Lord Rama and Goddess Durga, using sticks called dandiyas which represent the sword of Durga. This dance led to the closing ceremony, which left everyone in high spirits and full of new knowledge and appreciation for Hinduism and the Indian culture. Campus wins Gold Award for fundraising ROBERT ROSATI robertrosati@botmail.com Next month the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide will receive a Gold Award from the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District Five for "Best Practices in Fundraising and Development." Four hundred different colleges and universities throughout Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, lIIinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin make up District Five. "Belonging," the name of this year's annual fund campaign for campus employees was a combined effort of both University Relations and Advancement staff. The director of scholarships and the annual fund, Cynthia Jensen, came up with the idea for "Belonging" after calling upon her colleagues to make some light-hearted videos on the Web. The videos contained 29 employees of UW-Parkside explaining how they contribute to the university through their jobs, as well as how they help support athletics, scholarships, academic programs and various projects though their donations to the university. The University of Wisconsin-Parkside graphics photo program manager Don "Come get that good copy!" Lintner, graphic designer Laura Mason, Web master Elizabeth McGee. as well as marketing and publications director John Mielke were involved in producing and launching the four Web videos. The resuits of the "Belonging" campaign were successful. There was a 93 percent increase in donations made by university employees compared to the average donations made in the past four years. The level of participation by employees of the university increased 108 percent. The amount of money raised was a staggering 302 percent higher. Most of the muney raised will be put towards funding schnlarships for students. On Dec. 11.the date of the CASE Conference Grand Luncheon, CASE will present a trophy to the University Relations and Advancement. - . 2 November 27, 2007 900 Wood Rood Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 Ads; uwp_ods@yahoo.cQm Website: rangernews@uwp.edu dilor in Chief ' Koitl!n M.

More than grades, degrees or even jobs, experience shows whether or not an individual knows what he or she is doing. This is the main reason why I work for The Ranger News: experience. At times it feels like I get little more credit than a byline and a bullet point on my resume, but that bullet point is worth all the effort. As registration for the spring semester approaches, I encourage all students at the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide to consider working or interning with The Ranger News. As the primary source for campus news at a university that does not offer a journalism program, The Ranger News is tbe best outlet for learning and practicing written media, photography, editing, advertising, and yes, even comics. . . Unfortunately, there is one disclaimer I need to put on this call for new staff members, and that is that most of the positions on staff are unpaid. I reaily wish we could pay our entire staff, but we run off of student segregated fees, which means if we pay everyone, every student would need to pay more tuition. ] am sure that nobody wants to hear that. Instead, ( encourage our staff to maintain a healthy balance between schoolwozk, jobs and working (or The Ranger News. Sometimes this balancing act is not so ea,sy to accomplisb, but it is possible. Your experience at The Ranger News could be the difference between getting the job you want and settling foz something less. If you are interested in working for The Ranger News, stop in at our office at Wyllie DI39C to fill out an application or come to our weekly meetings on Fridays at noon in Molinaro D lO5. l look forward to seeing you there!

Laramie Project Review RAMON A. JAIMEZ JaimeOOO@uwp.edu An exercise in intensity, the University of Wisconsin- Parkside's drama department's production of "The Laramie Project" is a show to remember. Directed by theatre department chair Dean Yohnk, "The Laramie Project" was written by Moises Kaufmann and the Tectonic Theater Project in response to the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard. The play is a study in the process of its. own creation with remarks from the developers as they look into the after-effects of Matthew's death on the community of Laramie, WY. The UW-Parkside production of "The Laramie Project" started on Nov. 29 and will run till Dec. 8. If the Nov. 29 opening show of "The Laramie Project" is any indication, then this production is one that should not be missed. The first' thing that should be mentioned is the' almost documentary style of this play. It is written from the perspective of the members of tbe Tectonic Theater Project and is given to the audience as a very matter of fact way. Unlike with fiction, or more stylized tel1ings of some stories, there was very little sense that what was being shown was not real. It was real; Matthew Shepard did die; his killers did confess; and Laramie, Wyoming, perhaps the world. has gone through much since then. All 14 actors are to be commended in bringing the over 70 characters in "The Laramie Project" to life. Of special note is Phil Zimmerman, whose handling of some of the more humorous roles often allowed for a break in the overall seriousness of the production. Terrance Barrett did a fantastic job of seamlessly switching through such diverse roles as Gov. Gerringer, a Unitarian .Minister, an inmate, and Aaron McKinney. Perhaps shining the .brightest that night was Derek Ewing, who did a phenomenal job with very intense roles, especially that of Dennis Shepard reading the victim impact statement in which he asked that McKinney not be killed for his crimes. However, things were not perfect on opening night. Despite the professionalism of the cast, there were a few lines that seemed to give them trouble, either in getting them out correctly or getting them out at all Barely noticeable, these flubs were not as pronounced as the two or three moments of missed que with the lighting, in which the lights did not shift to the appropriate actor, leaving the last speaker lit and the cnrrent one in the dark. Overcoming these minor mistakes, the story of a world growing in the aftermath .of a horrible incident is fully realized in Dean Yohnk's and UW-Parkside's production of "The Laramie Project." "Welcome Home Jr." selected for national recognition DAVIDWIDTE White041@uwp.edu Within the same month of graduation with a major in communications, minor in English and two certificates, UW- Parkside student Tiffany Donald is completing her first theatrical play in Augie Wegner Studio Theatre. "Welcome Home Jr." will be performed on Dec. 14 at 7: 30pm and Dec. 15 at 2 p.m. Admission is free. The play consists of six characters, and it has fi ve scenes. Written by, directed by, and starring Donald, Welcome Home Jr. is a comedic drama about family, faith, and life transitions. Donald said the story revolves around a black family and was written with slang dialog, but any family can relate to the story. "In every family, someone cries, has deaths, and has a crazy aunt," she said. She said the play teaches to forgive and forget and shows what may go on behind closed doors in familieS. "Even the people chosen by God have problems." she said. She said the play was inspired by her own mother, who is closely depicted through the mother character in the play. Donald said she began writing ineighth grade while being home schooled for a full school year due to medical conditions. She said she wrote poetry, movie trailers, commercials, short stories and movies to help pass time. Associate professor of the Theater Arts department, Dean Yohnk submitted the plot to the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival. The KCACTF is a national theatre program which recognizes student's art. Donald said "Welcome Home Jr." was selected out of 95 films to be submitted for national recognition. The play will next be performed in Milwaukee in January, then possibly in Washington D.C. New volunteer organization started at UW-Parkside Lee Latona LatonOOl@uwp.edu The newest volunteer organization on campus, Wisconsin Honorary of Involved Leaders (WHIL), run by Keighley A. White, a student of UW- Parkside. White founded the first chapter of WHIL, on campus, during the faU 2007 semester. Already, even before the close of the semester, the budding organization has done much. White said the organization of WHa advacates to make anyone working at Parkside - from maintenance workers, to professors, to resident advisors (RA) - feel appreciated for what they do. "We also like to honor those around us who make living on campus' more tolerable and even slightly enjoyable." said White. Each week, three people are designated to be recognized and receive small gifts from WHlL. Their kindness extends off campus as well. Afew days before Thanksgiving, WHIL paid a visit to Holiday House, a food pantry sponsored by the Shalom Center. There the WHIL helped package food for less fortunate families. "It was hard work but really rewarding," White elaborated. If any students are interested in assisting these families as well, WH1L is planning a visit again sometime in December; all are welcome to come and join in. Posters announcing the date and time will be available around campus. WHIL is also planning another December activity. caroling for the elderly, WH1L sings on Saturday, Dec. 8. The organization also decided to "lift . the gloom of winter" by "adopting a family" for the holidays. WHIL welcomes new members, or even interested persons to contact White, or attend a meeting. Just assisting in a few or their events is welcome as well. Contact White at theatrejnkie@aol.com. Meetings are held 8 p.m. every Monday in Ranger 47. Making a difference really does just take one person.

However, I would never run fake numbers in the newspaper and it offends me that anyone would accuse me of that. Those who know me know that 1 have integrity. [ would appreciate it if you would check your facts before making such an accusation. We also did not target certain individuals to get particular answers [Tom them. The survey was anonymous and those who chose to complete the survey did so. Not all of the respondents reported being sexually active either; a few reported being virgins but many of these individuals did not give detailed responses, so it was difficult to quote them for last week's article. So, we are not perfect, but we are improving. There is also a group of students in an Introduction to Marketing class wbo will be conducting a survey of The Ranger News readers. This survey will assess the likes and dislikes of our readers and help us continue to improve. If you would like to participate but have not heard from anyone from this group, feel free to stop in The Ranger News office (Wyllie D139C) to pick up a copy of the survey to fill out. The results of this survey will be published in The Ranger News at a future date. Although negative feedback is hard to deal with, any and all feedback is appreciated. If anything, it is good that you are taking the time to read our newspaper. Thank you for reading. There bave been so many things that have happened this week that 1 do not even know where to begin. There have been so many positive things and so many negative things that I hoped they would balance each other out, but it -seerns that negative things. even if there are fewer of them, definitely weigh more. So let me cut to the quick and write what I need to write. I guess the bad news should come first. The bad news is that Tbe Ranger News has failed to cover some issues on campus. There • is really no good excuse for this. The events we have missed are the Veteran's Day Celebration and covering the 'Parkside Student Government Association. You can read more about it on the Opinion Page, but allow me to say this, when one of my newer reporters, a freshman, asked me what thestudent government was, I knew we were not doing our job. Although the relationship between student government and The Ranger News has 'been strained in the past, tbat is no excuse for us not to write about them. I am sad to report that The Ranger News has only written one article about PSGA this semester, and that definitely needs to change. The positive. however, is this. More people than ever picked up our last issue of The Ranger News. This might be hard to believe, given what I have just written above, but it proves that people are still reading, for whatever reason. Perhaps more people picked up the paper because we chose to do something unconventional and a little controversial: conduct our own sex survey of students (we did receive one faculty response, also) and publish the results. Yes. we have received complaints about the survey but more often than not, I heard people talking about the issues we addressed. Also, I would like to quiet any rumors that the results of the sex survey were in any way fabricated or made up.

ULMER ZACKEEHAN UlmerOOO@lIwp.edu Keeha003@uwp.edu The Parkside Student GovemrnentAssociation adressed issues with- filling empty senate seats during their regular meeting onFriday, Dec. 7·. Someone who is interested in student government needs 75 signatures to enter into electIons. However, when there are empty seats after the standard election, current PSGA members can nominate individuals to fill those seats and the entire Senate then votes those individuals into the assembly. -This is a current PSGA resolution. It was discussed that at times this method of filling empty seats can become a popularity contest, and those who are elected in this manner rarely come to meetings after they are voted in. On the other hand, there have been instances when a student was elected to an empty-seat and then went on to play an active role in the Senate. Discussion ensued as to whether requiring potential senators to get signatures would qualify them to serve or simply prolong the process of filling 'empty seats. It was suggested that there must be some requirement .to prove that potential senators will be motivated to play an active role in PSGA. It was also . , suggested that open seats should be advertised in The Ranger News or elsewhere to make students aware of the positions still up for election. Amendments to the current resolution were tabled until next week's meeting. . An act sponsored by senators David Wilson and Carly-Anne Ravnikar sought to clarify PSGA's current definition of resolutions, acts and bylaws. This act was also discussed during the meeting Friday. According to the Legislative Procedure and Bylaw Implementation Act drafted by Wilson and Ravnikar, a resolution is an act of the Senate that "expresses the determinations, decisions? or directions" of the Senate. Resolutions are feelings that PSGt- has towards actions and events. Resolutions have no real power because they. are only suggestions and fade with time. An act is a formal proposal to change the way PSGA is run, or to change the bylaws. "The bylaws include all acts passed by the Senate, Acts are permanent changes to PSG A unless otherwise stated. The act proposed by Wilson and Ravnikar also outlined the purpose and composition of resolutions and acts. Resolutions are intended to give a statement on behalf of the student body or the Senate, make a recommendation to the faculty or administration, or make a temporary change to Senate proceedings. A resolution may not violate a current bylaw. A n act must include an Objective, or the reason for implementing the. act. Along with the objective are definitions of any specific things related to the act, which need further clarification. The act itself describes the different actions being proposed for possible implementation as a law. After the act is stated, particulars must also be discussed. Particulars include such things as dates of expiration or other clarifying statements about the application of the act. The Legislative Procedure and Bylaw Implementation Act, which included all of these definitions and clarifications, was passed in the Dec. 7 meeting by a majority vote of the Senate. There's something " p hish y " in RangerMaii JOKIRST dierdJ:apboenix@gmail.com Shortly after noon on Nov.' 27, aphishing attack was launched on the University of Wisconsini Parkside's RangerMaiL The message was camouflaged to appear to users that UW-p services had sent it, asking for e- mail account verification. Users who responded to this e-mail may have had their personal information accessed, such as their RangerMail password. Phishing is a- criminal attempt to acquire sensitive and personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. Wisconsin has an anti- spam bill that includes fraudulent emails, such as the one distributed to UW·P students. According to directmag.com, "Violators could face civil and criminal penalties, including felony charges that could draw up to $10,000 io fines and six years' in prison under the bill. The penalty could increase by $10,000 if the victim is elderly or disabled." So bow can you tell what a P hishina attempt is, and how can o ? you protect yourself from the~n. The Anti-Phishing working Group has some suggestions: I) Be suspicious of any email with urgent requests for personal financial information-unless the email has been digitally signed, you can't be sure it wasn't forged or 'spoofed'. The phishers typically ask for information such as usernames, passwords, credit card numbers, social security numbers, etc. If you aren't sure if It's legitimate or not, call the company and ask. Consider installiug a Web browser tool bar: to help protect you from known fraudulent Web sites. These toolbars match where you are going with lists of known phisher Web sites. For' example, the newest version of Internet Explorer 7 has this toolbar, as well as FireFox version 2. Regularly log into your online accounts-don't leave them alone for more than a month before you. check each account. Log in at least once a week. Along the same lines, regularly check your bank, credit; and debit card statements to make sure all transactions are legitimate. If you sense something is not right, call the company and ask about it. 4) Always report "phishing'' or "spoofed" emails to one of. the following groups: Forward the email to reportph ishing@antiphishing.org or to the Federal Trade Commission at spam@uce.gov. Alert tbe company that was being spoofed {i.e. Ebay). Following these steps will lower your risk of a phishing attempt being successfuL Don't be afrnid to call a company if you 'suspect they are being used for a phishing scam-you calling in and alerting them can not only save your personal information, but the personal information of others. 2) 3) " We've got issues " Vote anticipated on Compassionate Care for Rape Victi~s bill KAITLYN M. ULMER UImerOOO@lIwp.edu A bill that would require that rape victims are educated about and offered emergency contraception (EC) in Wisconsin hospitals, Assembly Bill 377/ Senate Bill 129, could go to vote in the State Assembly this week. According to supporters of the bill, decreasing unwanted pregnancies due to rape will decrease the trauma that victims experience. Assembly leaders promised the authors of the bill, republican representative Terry Muser and democratic representative Mark Paean, that the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims (CCRV) bill would be scheduled for a vote before the end of the year. ThO' last Assembly Floor Session for this Year is set for Tuesday, Dec. 11 so a vote is expected to take place during that session. Emergency contraception (Be) is a high dosage of birth control pills that is 99.5 percenr effective if taken within 12 hours. and still 75 percent effective if taken within 120 hours .. According to the CCRY coalition, Ee does not have any effect on existing pregnancies. One of the questions that many women have about EC, however, is. how "pregnancy". can be. defined. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defines pregnancy as "the successful implantation of a fertilized egg," which means that an egg that has been fertilized by sperm and bas implanted itself into the lining of 3 woman's uterus is considered a pregnancy. In her book "When do Human Beings Begin"," philosopher and biologist Dianne Irving. wrote "Scientifically, there is absolutely no question whatsoever that the immediate product of fertilization is a newly existing human being. A human zygote is a human being. It is not a 'potential' or 'possible' human being. It's an actual human being - with the potential to grow bigger and develop its capacities." In May, the State Senate passed the eCRV bill by a vote of 27 -6. Governor Doyle has committed to sign the bill into law if it passes through both state houses. On Dec. II, the Assembly has the opportunity 10 pass the bill without amendments, This means that the Assembly can essentially override an amendment to the bill that passed in October. This amendment allowed hospitals and all hospital employees to deny providing comprehensive health care 1O rape victims and to only provide standard care. "With the passage of this bill in the Assembly, we finally have an opportunity to see that ideal treatment of rape victims becomes law in our state:' said Keeley Crowley, coordinator of Holy Family Memorial's Sexual Assault Resource Center in Manitowac, wisc., in a press release from CeRV coalition. "We can't erase the injustice a victim' has experienced as a result of an auack, but this law will go a continue to page 3 9oo Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595·2295 Ads: uwp_ods@yahoo.com Website: rongernews@uwp.edu dlto.

The topic of the survey was The Ranger News, whether or not respondents read the newspaper, and how the newspaper could he improved. As one of the students who conducted the survey, and as editor in chief of The Ranger News, I would like to take this opportunity to reflect on ways in which the newspaper can continue to improve. The survey revealed that OUl target audience, those individuals who are most likely to read The Ranger News, are 18 to 21-year-old students who commute to the campus. Respondents were 'given five categories to choose from to > describe how often they read the newspaper. These options' included "never," "sometimes," "occasionally," "usually" and "always." The largest number of students, at 26 percent; responded that they sometimes read the newspaper, and the second largest number, 24 percent, responded that they never read the newspaper. This shows that even though our circulation numbers are rising, there is still a large segment of the student body that we are not reaching. The survey also gave students the opportunity to rate each section of the newspaper. Ratings' they could select included "unacceptable." "needs improvement," "neutral," "good" and "excellent." .The greatest number of respondents answered "neutral" for each section of the newspaper. The second largest number responded "excellent," and after that came needs improvement. There were significantly more respondents who replied "unacceptable" for the Comics and Sports sections, so in the future we will consider ways to improve those sections of the newspaper. One of the most useful parts of the survey was a question that asked "What should The Ranger News do to improve its newspaper?" While the other parts of the survey allowed respondents to circJe their answers, this part asked them to write down their personal thoughts about how the newspaper could be improved. Many respondents wanted to see more local, state, national and world news in The Ranger News. They also desired better quality news overall. It was suggested that we include a variety of opinions on the Opinion page and make sure that our own staff do not dominate the page. Readers would like also like to see more coverage of sports, both on and off campus. At the same time, several individuals requested that we improve the quality of our comics overall. In addition, respondents want The Ranger News to expand its coverage of student groups and school events, as well as interesting issues and topics. They want to read reviews of new movies and video games. They want the newspaper to include more job opportunities in the classified ads along with sudoku .and other puzzles. Visually, our readers would like to see more illustrations and eye-catching photography, and generally a more appealing newspaper. They also desire a high level of accuracy in our editing. I would like to thank' all of the individuals who took some time out of their day to fill. out this survey, and we will be implementing a plan to create some of the changes that were suggested. I would also like to thank the group of students from my marketing class who agreed to use The Ranger News as the topic for our marketing plan project. I hope that the results of this survey are as interesting to our readers as they were to I11e,and I appreciate any other feedback that our readers (and non-readers) can offer. We plan on conducting similar surveys in the future to assess where we are at as a newspaper and where we should be going. In the end, there is always room for improvement. Kaitlyn M.

Currently, campus police are looking to identify the man in thephotos, because it is suspected thathe is involved with the break- ins and thefts. These photos are from a surveillance. camera at a store. The UW-Parkside Police Department is looking for any help you can give in identifying this man. If you know anything at all, please contact the UW- Parkside Police Department by calliog them at 262-595-2455, e-ntailing them by using the form on their website (http://www. uwp.edulcontactf?uid=heller), or stopping by the station in Tallent Hall. You can remain anonymous if you prefer. In the meantime, bow can you protect your car and your personal property from being a target of theft and break-ins? Officer Kelly Anrichik gives these suggestions: 1) Lock your vehicle, keep the .windows up. and make sure your trunk is closed all the way. If you lock the doors, you immediately make it more difficult for vandals and thieves to get what they want. Keeping the windows up makes it infinitely harder, as they cannot reach in and take 'what they want, or unlock your doors to take what they want. Making sure your trunk is closed keeps the "bad guys" out, as some cars have backseats that open up into the trunk - if the vandals and thieves figure that out, they can get what they want from your vehicles. 2) During the holidays. lock your purchasesfbelongings in a secure place in your vehicle. For example, lock the purchases in the trunk, or put them in the backseat, covered with' a blanket that closely matches the color of .your car's interior. Your best bet is to take your personal belongings with you, but if you do not want to or cannot, lock them in the glove compartment (most glove compartments have a lock on them), lock them in the center console (if possible), or stash them under a seat. Another way to help protect yourself from theft is to take advantage of the Operation ID program that the UW-Parkside Police Department offers. It is a free service, and you can either stop by the Police Department to participate, or if you live in on- campus housing, they can come to you, Engravings can be done on nearly everything, with any sort of appropriate identifying mark. For example, you could have a small triangle engraved on the corner of your laptop. If that laptop happened to be stolen or lost, the police would know it is yours, because of that mark. Following these tips will help deter theft, because vandals and thieves will look for the easiest target. If your car doors are locked, you are no longer an easy target. Do not forget that if you see suspicious activity in any of the parking lots, you should report it to the police - for all you know, it is your car the thief might be breaking into. • December 18, 2007 New. Sinco 1972 Criminal background checks on' uw- Parkside employees updated RYAN MONTROSS Ryanmo1988@sbcglobal.net Discussions regarding criminal background checks that will go into effect Jan. I took place in Molinaro 323 on Dec. 12 from 9-10 a.m. The background checks will affect those who are faculty, academic staff, administrative staff, classified staff, LTE. and students. When asked why the background checks have not been in effect this year, Peg Lawton, who lead the presentation, said. "When you're coordinating that many campuses it takes a while and it's hard to come to an agreement system wide." Background checks beginning on Jan. I will focus on any previous criminal experience that substantially relates to an individual's job. For example, if someone had a history of writing bad checks. and his or her current job requires him or her to write checks. then the background checks on Jan. I will take into affect for those type of people. Criminal background checks will provide the University of Wisconsin-Parkslde campus with a safer environment for students and faculty, as well fulfill a policy requirement from the UW- system. The policy for criminal background checks include those who are finalists, current UW-Parkside or UW-system employees who are appointed to a different position. where the majority of the positions' duties will be within residential facilities or people in a position of trust, and student employees who are hired to work within the residential facilities. When asked if this will affect current employees, Lawton said, HNo.The child care center and I. 3 <onMue 10poge Compassionate Carefor RapeVictimsbill passes in State Assembly - .. KAITLYN M. ULMER UlmerOOO@uwp.edu After six years of lobbying, supporters of the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims (CCRY) bill finally passed the bill through the State Assembly with a vote of 56-41.0n Tuesday, Dec. II. The bill will require that rape victims are educated about and offered emergency contraception (EC) in Wisconsin hospitals. In January. the Assembly will hold a final procedural vote on the bill, after which the, Senate will reconsider the bill due to an amendment on the legislation that passed in October. "Telling 'rape victims about EC and dispensing upon their request is the standard of care, and it was ignored by too many hospitals for too long," said PPAWI public policy director Chiis Taylor in a press release from the CCRV Coalition. "As an organization, we have been proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with these brave survivors, who were determined .to right this wrong. Thanks to these advocates and the leadership of Representatives Terry Musser and Mark Pocan in the Assembly and Senator Judy Robson, rape victims will finally receive the humane, comprehensive, compassionate care they deserve in every Wisconsin emergency room. A big thank you to these leaders who made the adoption of this bill possible. We look forward to the final procedural vote on the bill in January and finally getting this "We've got issues" bill into law." Emergency contraception is a high dosage of birth control pills that is 99.5 percent effective if taken within 12 hours, and still 75 percent effective if taken within 120hours. Accordi ng to the CCRV Coalition, EC does not have any effect on existing pregnancies. An ex.isting pregnancy is defined as "the successful implantation of a fertilized egg." according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. In May. the State Senate passed the CCRV bill by a vote of 27-6. The amendment to the hill, which passed in October, . allowed hospitals and all hospital employees to deny providing comprehensive health care to rape victims and to only provide standard care. In order to effectively override this amendment, the Senate must pass the bill a second time without the amendment. Pro-Life Wisconsin, which has extensively lobbied against the bill. said the bill violates cenfinue 10page 3 ·2 " ,. t December 18 , 2007 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 fax: (262) 595·2295 Ads: uwp_ods@yahoo.com Website: fangernews@Uwp.edu dilor In Chlof Koililn M.Ulm~r ulmerOOD@uwp.edu neallYe Edllor JoKirst dierdraphoenix@gmail.com esign Managor Soohyun Kif11 kimOO009@uwp.edu ews Edilor Robert Ro,oli robertrosoli@holmoil.com rls & Cullure Edllor OovidWhile White04@uwp.edu pinion page editor RyenAshlen o,hloOOl@uwp.edu laft Roporlers Ramon Joimez ioimeD01@uwp.edu RyonM9n\,"SS ryonmo 1988@,bcglobo .net Mackenzie Hei~e heise007@uwp.edu BenHolm~s holme0l2@uwp.edu I...

I or It always amazes me how quickly a semester seems to pass once we reach the end of it. While the semester is still: going, however, it seems to move agonizingly ', slow. Maybe it is some kind of trick of time, hut 1 think it is really that we try to cram too many things into such a short span of time, and when it is over we regret that we did not spend our time more wisely. Either way, the semester is almost over, for better or worse, and we all get a hreak next week to think about what we have accomplished and make plans for next semester, At our last Ranger News meeting, we went around the room and talked about what each of us had learned this semester, Many people learned the proper format of articles and how to use our office equipment. We all learned how to work as a team, which took a lot of time because many of us started out the semester as strangers. It took several months for us to get to know each other and work' effectively. I also learned that things do not always turn out as planned, and often times we need to just work with what we have. I would also like to remind everyone that this is a learning institution and The Ranger News is just another area where students can learn. We are not professionals, but we strive to grow and learn each semester. Like any other student, we each make mistakes, learn from them and continue to improve and strive toward better quality. Next sernester.T would like to focus on making sure that The Ranger News is a learning environment, not just a deadline- driven production line. That kind of stress is not conducive to anyone's learning process. Our faculty advisor, Adrienne Viramontes, described our current atmosphere as "patriarchal," and next semester I would like to move to a more "feminine" structure. I know my male staff members will cringe at that word, but what it really means is that everyone will have more say in the governing of the organization, and we will be more supportive of each other. . 1 hope that you have enjoyed reading The Ranger News this semester, for whatever reason, and thaI you will continue to read in the future. If you would like to learn about journalism, writing news articles, photography, illustrations, comics, advertising, etc. etc. 1 hope you will join us next semester. Kaitlyn M.

January 29, 2008 News Since 1972 Chancellor Keating announces retirement KAITLYN M. ULMER UbnerOOO@uwp.edu "It is with confidence, in Parkside and in you, who I thank for your efforts, that in the future: we are going to have a bright future," said Keating. "I am very confident in retiring because I know the situation of the campus, how well positioned it is to achieve the next step. Whoever comes here will come and basically take the leadership reins and I know that you will support them [sic] just like you supported me," he added. The search for a new chancellor will begin with the formation of a search-and- After University of WlSCOnsin-Parkside's Chancellor lobn (Jack) Keating discussed his plans to retire come August, faculty,staffandstudentsattending dleconvocation ceremony on Jan. 17offered him a standing ovation. Kevin Reilly, president of the UW-System and regent Michael Falbo also gave their support by lharing their views of Keating, as well as revealing the selection process for UW-Parkside's next ebancellor. screen committee to narrow down possible candidates for the position. This committee will be composed of faculty, staff, students and community members nominated by Keating and other governance heads in the UW-System. The search- and-screen committee will then produce five possible candidates to he judged by a committee composed of UW- System regents. Before the end of the semester, there will also be an open forum on campus with these final five candidates. Reilly suggested that it should be easy to find candidates for the position because of the "attractiveness of this campus and the attractiveness of this area of the state." "Our challenge is to identify the new campus CEO with the right skills, experience and drive to keep alive the positive momentum established here during Jack's tenure" said Falbo, who will be chairing the selection committee composed of regents. He added that "as a proud and active UW-Parkside alumnus, I know Chancellor Keating's absence will be felt throughout these halls, these halls that have been made stronger by his presence," Reilly spoke of Keating's efforts to solidify the relationship between the university and the UW-Parkside communities through civic engagement and service projects. "His guidance and leadership have given the university a substantial foundation for future progress. That foundation will be especially important as we begin to think about the next chapter of UW- Parkside's history of stellar service," said Reilly. Overseeing the school's first Master Plan, Keating helped implement over $100 million worth of construction development. Keating is also responsible for bringing the civic service project "Campus Compact" to the UW-System, as well as many other programs to support service and community involvement. In fact, the Carnegie Foundation named UW- Parkside one out of 64 nationally recognized "engaged campuses," and the university is the only Wisconsin school to achieve this designation. UW-Parkside has also been used as a model of excellent community engagement for Division n universities. "Over the past decade, Chancellor Keating has ambitiously set out to position UW-Parkside as an engine of economic development in the state of Wisconsin broadly and in this region especially," said Reilly. He added that "if we are going to be successful as a state in the future ... we have to use our college campuses to attract and hold tatent to help grow the kinds of jobs in the future that our graduates will take and that will attract graduates from other institutions." Reilly also mentioned UW- Parkside's growing academic reputation, including the addition of seven new academic majors during Keating's tenure. The applied health sciences major, which is currently in its first year, has already caught the interest of approximately 40 students at the university. Keating recalled last spring, when the Board of Regents visited UW-Parkside, and the campus presented them with "the three 'E's: excellence in education for everyone." He said, "This campus really sparkled and it didn't sparkle because we're building new buildings - because we were, they saw it. It sparkled because what our faculty and staff have done for our students and how our students were so well-educated, so terrific in their presentations." As the most diverse campus in the UW-system, both in faculty and students, UW-Parkside presents an attainable education to the student body, approximately 67% of whom are the first in their family to attend college. "Everyone is accepted here at UW-Parkside if they are willing to work and work hard to get their degree," said Keating. He added that. ;,'We're not elitist. We're basically grass-roots." In the next eight months, Keating promises to increase scholarship funds to support the educational goals of the university's neediest students. During his time at UW- Parkside, Keating has supported the Equity Scorecard Project, which works to break down the barriers to educational success that still exist in an ever- growing diverse population of undergraduates. To promote academic achievement, Keating also introduced the First Year Experience program with the goal of increasing student retention and graduation rates. "1 know we will all miss Chancellor Keating very much," said Reilly. "Jack is a person of forceful intellect, of unquestioned integrity, and of unwavering commitment to higher education opportunities for all."

The Ranger News - past Wednesday, I announced my decision to step down and the staff voted Jo Kirst into the position. I am sure that she will do a great job leading the newspaper and I have every confidence that the organization will continue to grow and develop. For myself, however, I will be functioning at a much less active role with The Ranger News. I will be returning to reporting, where I first started more than two years ago, to write about the issues that matter most to our university. Because I can no longer dedicate the time and energy needed to be the editor in chief, I feel that It is with some sadness that I have recently stepped down from my position as editor in chief of The Ranger News. This to step down as Editor in Chief, and I was elected as the next leader. I'd like to thank both the staff and Kaitlyn for their confidence in me, and the support and help I've recei ved already.

I also found a new job at Barks-N-Bubbles in Kenosha, which is (somewhat surprisingly) one of the most fun jobs I have ever had. The only bad thing is cleaning up ferret poop, which stinks really bad. I will also be spending a lot of my them in the best way possible. If we take what we have learned at the conference and combine it with the support and good communication we already have, The Ranger News should be able to improve the quality of its work signifioantly. I have a few goals for The Ranger News this semester. For the staff, I'd like to expand everyone's knowledge of the paper's mechanics, along with keeping our meetings semi- democratic. I know that as Editor- in-Chief I have the final say in what does or does not happen, but I also know that people like to voice their concerns, opinions, and suggestions. I want to hear those opinions because I value them and the people they come from.

Another club, PEC, showed how to bum calories while making smoothies for the students checking out the fair. They had a blender booked up to a bicycle that, when ridden, ran the blender. Anyone who could not make it to the fair should check the Student Activities site to get a listing of the organizations on campus. Go to the UW-Parkside website, click on Student Life and then click on student activities. The Ranger News will be highlighting different o r g a n i z a t io n s each week. Find one that fits your personality, major or hobbies, and join an organization on campus! Organizational fair DEB VAUGHN lucas008@uwp.edu Every semester a theme is chosen. This time it was Ranger Palooza: Ranger Pride. Entrants design their posters and booths to reflect their pride in UW-Parkside. The organizations compete for cash prizes to their private account funds, I" place $75, 2"" place $50 and 3'" place $25. Anonymous judges make the rounds of the event and decide which booth showed its Ranger Pride the best. Winners will be announced within the week. 34 clubs were represented this season. Wendy Siepler, the Parkside Adult Student Alliance representative to the Student Government Association, said, The bi-annual organizational fair was held Wednesday, January 30'h in Main Place from 10:30 to I :30. The Student Acti vities office coordinates the fairs at the start of each semester. It is a great way for student organizations, clubs and societies to showcase what they have to offer the students at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside. Along with student organizations, there were several booths for volunteer opportunities such as the Blood Center of Wisconsin, The Womens' Center and Habitat for Humanity. " . Testing hours changed JOSHUA DIEFENBACH diefeOOO@rangers.uwp.edu result a proctor has been hired to administer exams three days a week in room 269 in the Library. Within this new group study area students will be accommodated with dividers, earplugs, headphones and classical music in order to produce a distractionfree environment and lessen anxiety. Professors have also been asked to help with the testing situation by either administering an alternative test or allowing the student to take the same test in an empty room. Depending on the status of the budget, the schedule should return to five days a week beginning next semester. If students have any questions the Disability Services office is located in Wyllie Hall D175. The beginning of each semester brings new challenges and changes. One such change has occurred in regards to testing times offered by the Disability Services Office. Last semester testing was available five days a week, whereas this semester's testing will be available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Accordi ng to the Coordinator of Disability Services, Dr. Renee Kirby, the primary reason for the change is budgetary, who also went on to say, "What Disability Services is doing is more in line with universities and colleges across the country." Last year more than one thousand students went through Disability Services offices between the months of January and December. As . " "We've got lSSUeS . 2 February 5, 2008 900 Wood Road Kenosha.

After distribution last Tuesday, I sat and counted all the leftover issues from Dec. 18. Out of 2000 issues we had printed, there were about 90 left. If you do some rough math, that ends up being about 95% circulation. Granted, the issue was on the stands for well over a month, but it is something 10 be proud of nonetheless. If we continue to improve 'the .content of our paper, I think the circulation numbers will improve as well. Much to the amazement of some staff, this week is another 12-page issue. From what 1 understand, this doesn't happen very often, Going back to the improving of content ~ if we riot only improve the quality of our content, but also the quantity-I believe we can consistently produce a newspaper that covers more issues, both on campus and off campus. The goal bere is to improve the reputation of the paper, make the paper more interesting for you to read, and make it more interesting for us to create. Unfortunately, with the good must corne some notso-good. The one that has been bothering me the most is our reporters. Some of the reporters are great, they show up to every meeting (and if they can't attend, they let me know in advance), take on a story or two, and get everything in by deadline. But to counter them, there are a handful of reporters who almost never attend meetings, take on stories when they feel it is convenient for them, and usually turn in their stories past deadline. This not only makes the paper look bad. but it makes the reporters themselves look bad. If Ihe reporters are interns, it most certainJ y will affect their grade. Staff at The Ranger News know that the meetings on Fridays - are mandatory staff meetings. Along these lines, there are a few reporters who would like to be bumped up to page editors. Which would be fine, except thai they want to be page editors for completely wrong reasons. I think these reporters need to step back and evaluate how their actions have affected both themselves (in terms of their integrity and dependability) and The Ranger . News. Hopefully admitting that we're not perfect doesn't discourage anyone from joining The Ranger News. I encourage you to come to a meeting on Fridays in our news office, and see if anything interests you. We're looking for any help we can get, so if you think you'd make a great reporter. photographer, illustrator, or copy editor, don't be afraid 10 fill out an application and become a staff member.

The clinic was intended for people of all. ages, welcoming anyone who was trying to improve his or her game. Tustin FOOie, a physical therapist, talked about common injuries that golfers 'acquire over a long period of time. Injuries include the lower back, neck - which usually results in a muscle pull and doesn't tolerate a hard-swing, elbows and wrists - through poor mechanics, and the shoulders. If there was a specific injury to the shoulders, the golfer wouldn't be .able to get full rotation in his or her swing. To avoid injury to the lower back, Justin Fediesuggested, "You want to try to keep a neutral "S" _ curve while you swing the club". -He also stated that stretching allows full range of motion in your swing. If you do not stretch, the risk of injury is even greater: According to Fedie, "stretching helps prevent injuries and helps your game." Fedie explained that professional golf stars . like Tiger Woods get injured much less often because they are so efficient in their swing. Fedie also commented "you don't usually' see people get hurt with just one swing, 'it's a repetitive sport," One of Justin Fedie's key comments througbout his speech was that "Golf is 90 percent mental. If you . have fatigue, it's a lot harder to concentrate," Mark Hansen, golf professional in Mequon, Wisconsin talked about the different conditions that a golfer bas to deal with, including the weather, our mood and emotions", . and the course conditions. Hansen also talked about "The Six Ns" of every golf shot: Assess, Align, Act, Accept, Analyze, and <,-djust. Hansen described that assessing the circumstances, choosing the right club, and aligning the shot takes roughly thirty seconds. After the golfer hits the ball, it takes len seconds in order for. the golferto accept the shot, analyze, and then adjust. Mark Hansen said, "If you do not accept your shot, you art in conflict and that is an issue," He also explained that there is no place for anger on the golf course. You have a choice to how you react to everything. When asked about mistakes, Hanson said "A person has to make the sam; mistakes three times' in order to realize it's a mistake." Finally, when asked what 'the worst SCore he'd ever heard of was, Hansen replied, "216 thru nine holes. He didn't play the back nine because it was dark."

But how did their councils would be the most we end up with UW-Parkside. accommodating and economically A law was passed in 1965 efficient to work with. for two new four-year university Proposals were to be submitted by January 28, 1966. It was expected that the site committee would come to view the proposed sites, and that a decision would be handed down within three months of proposal submission. In January of 1966, Racine Stale SeWllor Heory Dormaa wrote, in an article in The Racine Labor(newspaper), "Never has the cooperation between city, county, industry and labor been so great as today [,J in their mutual effort to bring a four year university to the city of Racine." He further claimed in the following week's article that througb a "high" source that Racine sounded like it was the most "qualified" city because they seemed to best meet the criteria the site committee set forth. The site committee's main criteria was that "[t]he community shall contract to make the site available as the development of the campus and the needs of the state require." Racine's proposal did seem to fit the criteria. Racine proposed to fill in the lake, to create more lakefront land, which would reduce cost, donate the land of Pershing Park and the current University of Wisconsin-Racine Center, and Western Publishing president, William Wadewitz, would donate some of his downtown land. This would provide the university with roughly 49 acres. Over time, they would also purchase 100 local homes for the university's use. Kenosba proposed several sites as well. Their county and city were working together as well. They did not have such drastic plans as Racine- did; they would simply offer some sites that had ample acreage. One suggestion 10% off with this ad was the old Bong Air Force Base (now Bong Recreational Park), another was the 690-acres of rolling farmlands, open fields, and forest between Petrifying Springs Park and Wood Road. By May of 1966, the committee finally made their decision;.tJ1ey chose the 690 acre parcel of land. Given that the university would be between the two cities, the student body would be corning from the two UW Centers: Kenosha and Racine, and the rivalry had been so callous - the state legislature decided that it would irresponsible to give this university the name of only one of the cities. The idea for a suitable name was discussed, and it was clear that the only logical name to choose was UW-Parkside. Do something productive in college. Do something with The Ranger News. Comic Spotlight: 'Bomb Queen' u E The Ranger News February 5,2008 •• 1 ~, ALEX SCHUTZ maulmail@yahoo.com cheer her on because of her charisma. As one may have guessed from her name, Bomb Queen's favorite way to dispatch anyone who opposes her is through explosives, the effects of which are lovingly detailed in the art of the book. The Bomb Queen herself is drawn -in the typical female character fashion: dangerous curves and a costume that barely covers what it needs to. Although she does use her feminine wiles to her advantage, the character is presented as a strong, independent woman. Of course. she is also a raving lunatic that has no qualms blowing up people just for the fun of it, but no one is perfect. The series just wrapped up its fourth chapter, subtitled Suicide Bomber. Each chapter is made up of four issues and the previous three have been reJeased as trade paperback collections. I recommend starting with the first,' chapter as the story arcs are self- ~ contained, but all the chapters . build upon the last, giving background information and revelations. I do not, however, recommend the Bomb Queen series for younger people, those who are easily offended by language (cursing and innuendo) and violence, or those that don't have a sense of humor and take things way too seriously. There are many superhero Prnicsout on the comic racks. nageComic's Bomb Queen isn't heofthem. The title character is a 'Per-villainess that runs a lawless ity.

I want to first of all introduce myself, as most of the people who will be reading my opinions have no idea who I am, and secondly I want to explain what type of articles will appear in the column and what my reasoning is for writing here. For starters, I don't want to get too personal, but feel a little bit of background on. me is relevant given that many of my opinions-as is the case with most people-i-are greatly influenced by my upbringing and the experiences I've had throughout the first 27 years of my life. I am a native of Kenosha and have lived here my entire life, aside from the time I spent in the Military. After graduating from Bradford High School in 1999, I worked for a couple of years, and then joined the Army after September 11, 200 I. I spent the next four years in Georgia with the 3'" Ranger BaUal_aaod wu.<IepIoyed three times to Afghanistan and twice to Iraq. Overall my time in the service was a great experience. but I decided to get out after my initial four-year contract because my wife and I had just had a baby and I didn't like tbe idea of leaving them again. Immediately after leaving the Army I enrolled at Parkside and have been here full time for the past 3 years. My major is English, but I also have a great deal of interest and have taken a number of courses in both Political Science and Philosophy. As for the column, there are a couple of reasons I wanted to write opinions for The Ranger News. First off, I am a fairly politically interested person, and as such, I think it is important to be-at least somewhatpolitically informed. That being said, I also understand that many young people care much less about politics and political issues than I do. The problem with this is that though a person may pay little attention to politics or real issues, he or she is still very likely to hold opinions on these issues. Often these opinions are extremely uninformed and have no factual or even logical reasoning to back them up. My goal in writing this column is to expose some of the views that are fairly commonly held in the hopes that readers would come to a better understanding of their own opinions and, in the future, use a bit more caution in holding to beliefs which have' little factual basis. My second reason for writing opinions in The Ranger News is that I believe there is a great deal of value in hearing different points of view about political issues; and I think my perspective on any issues is very different from the views Parkside students may be used to encountering. Idon't necessarily expect or even hope to change the opinions of this column's readers, but I certainly do hope tbat my writing would provoke thought and even some debate about the topics I discuss. Finally, I encourage anyone reading this column to e-mail me your own thoughts, opinions and disagreements about what I write, and I will attempt to get any insightful comments published in a future edition of The Ranger News. Waterboarding: the draining of America's decency RYAN ASHTON ashtoOOl@uwp.edu In a testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday, January 30, Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey refused to clearly state whether waterboarding-a form of torture that simulates drowning-is legal or illegal. As the head of the United States Department of Justice. the Attorney General has the important responsibility of representing the moral and legal standing of the United States. It is with this in mind that I believe the chilling indifference Mr. Mukasey demonstrated over the issue of waterboarding is an aberration of the moral and legal integrity of the United States. Insofar as the United States is a civilized nation it should be common practice for United States officials to adhere to the most elementary forms of morality and human decency. Contrary to what Mr. Mukasey's testimony would have you believe, defining the scope of elementary moral practic ':5 not ambiguous over matters concerning the torturing of human beings. The famous eighteenth century philosopher Immanuel Kant, for example, very concisely outlined a conception of morality that essentially states the following: Moral behavior, with respect to humans, is such that a person always treat another human being as an endnever merely as a means to an end. Torture, since it is arguably the most flagrant instance of "mere means" treatment conceivable, clearly violates Kant's simple moral maxim. On that basis alone the United States is obligated to refrain from considering the use of torture as a legal interrogation technique-that is, of course, assuoting that the United States wishes to remain civilized. Some may argue, however, that waterboarding is not clearly torture, and, therefore, that it may not compromise the moral standing of the United States if it were used. Now, I have no idea how one might make the case that waterboarding is not torture (it is a simulated execution after all), but even if such a claim were granted, Mukasey's own testimony is sufficient to demonstrate how waterboarding violates Kant's simple standard for evaluating moral behavior. In his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mukasey stated that the legality of the waterboarding technique depended on "the heinousness of doing it, the cruelty of doing it balanced against the value ... of what information you might get." This is quintessential means-end reasoning. Essentially, Mukasey is arguing here that the ends (information) justify the means (waterboardi ng) - preci sely the antithesis of Kant's moral maxim. Even though the immorality of torture is the most important argument against its use, there is yet another convincing reason to remove it from the list of possible interrogation techniques: It doesn't work. According to the Army's own Field Manual on intelligence interrogation, "The use of force, mental torture... or exposure to unpleasant and inhumane treatment of any kind is prohibited by law and is neither authorized nor condoned by the US Government. Experience indicates that the Use of force is not necessary to gain the cooperation of sources for interrogation. Therefore, the Use of force is a poor technique, as it yields unreliable results, may damage subsequent collection efforts, and can induce the source to say whatever he thiaks the interrogator wants to hear." For those who feel that special circumstances, like hypothetical "ticking time-bomb" scenarios, prevent the option of torture from being taken off the table completely, the burden is on you to demonstrate why. It is sickening enough to consider that torture- the abuse of the most basic of human rights-could be used as the means toward the end of '<information gathering;" but, it is utterly monstrous to consider that torture could be used toward no further end whatsoever. Since it is well understood that torture yields "unreliable results," it seems as though the latter scenario is inevitable wherever torture is used. In that sense then, torture becomes its own end-a completely intolerable possibility. In light of this, any country that condones torture, either by actively using it or considering its possible use, is entertaining a position that is so grotesque it has no business calling itself "civilized." Got News? WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE! 9 The Ranger News February 5, 2008 Facebook "Compare People" application: Kick in the face RYAN MONTROSS Ryanmo1988@sbcglobal.net Roughly over 60 million people use Facebook for blogging purposes; however, a little over 599,000 people utilize the Compare People application. The application has individuals choose between friends in .a virtual popularity contest. Some of the questions individuals have 10 compare friends to include "Who wouJd you rather get stuck in handcuffs with", "Who would you rather be trapped on a desert island with", "Who would you_ rather sleep with", "More likely to win in a fight". "More famous", "Rather kiss", and "Better at science", In my opinion, this is a waste of time. Comparing people in order to receive a higher ranking for yourself just "doesn't make sense. Why waste five to ten minutes of your life choosing which friend is more famous over the other, while you could go work out or hang out with a friend? Another thing thaI gets me is the immaturity that surrounds the entire compare people application. It forces you. to compare between' some of your best friends in ridiculous questions such as "Nicest smelling?" Who cares what other people smell like? Don't get all frustrated if you don't get the number one ranking for "Nicest smelling." Also, the Compare People application makes me feel like I'm in nigh school all over again. For example, in the Compare People application 1 ranked 53" prettiest and 127'" most likely to succeed. In my opinion, it didn't matter where I ranked back in high school and it .still doesn't matter today. Also. I've noticed that in order to receive your results after you are finished comparing people, you have the option of sending the Compare People application to 20 other people. Sending out the request to 20 other people is seemingly sending the application to 20 other victims. Comparing people just for gossip, and to see who is more popular and outgoing than the other is' a virtual kick in the face to those who do not score high on the application, Here's an idea: Instead of judging others based on their appearances, why not axe the application all together? As the late comedian Rodney Dangerfield used to say "I get no respect, I tell ya.' Irresponsible journalism ROBERT ROSATI robertrosati@hotmail.com 1 bad planned to write this for last weeks edition of The Ranger News, but in the course of planning layout and editing articles, the newspaper article that this editorial is about was misplaced. As a result this article is a little dated, but nevertheless deserves to be called out for what it is: an example of irresponsible journalism. Three weeks ago on Friday, January 18, it was two days before the NFC Championship game between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Giants. There was much hype for the game, which 1 expected. However, that Friday morning something caught my attention. On the front cover of The Racine Journal Times was an article describing a celebration that an individual's family does whenever the Packers score. To say I was shocked to find this on the front cover of a newspaper would be an understatement. Had the article been placed into the sports section where it should have been, 1 would find it a little hara to understa'"d why it made the cover of the sports page, but would still understand the logic of the decision. But it wasn't. The touchdown celebration article. including a picture of the man who leads his family a Packers scoring celebration sitting in a chair, took up half of the front page. To the Journal Times- it appears that Chancellor John Keating's decision to retire from ~IAre you participating in SSUE Spirit Week? "No. T don't even know what it's about." -Katie Lefor, 21, Sociology "Of course. I'm going to try to go to all of the events." -Jasmine Overton, 20, Sports and Business UW-Parkside in- August is less important than a silly celebration dance. This isbecause an article ~n Keat~g's announceme~l was placed below the touchdown celebration article. It could be just me, but 1 think that Chancellor Keating's announcement is just a little more important than a family doing a storing celebration in unison. 4RT 10 The Ranger News 'February 5, 2008 Hypnotist Sailesh on campus RYAN MONTROSS AND JO KIRST Ryanmo1988@sbcglobal.net dierdraphoenix@gmail.com Sponsored by the University of Wisconsin Parkside's Activities Board, Hypnotist Sailesh entertained a standing room only crowd on Jan 31 at 8pm in Main Place. Before the show got underway he asked the participants on stage to use the bathroom, and in the meantime explained to the audience that they were more than welcome to be hypnotized-only if they wanted to; and if an audience member wanted to be hypnotized, . all they had to do was focus on Sailesh's voice and follow his instructions. Once the participants came back to their seats on stage, Sailesh directed them into a state of relaxation, and eventually a state of deep sleep. There were various scenarios that the participants woke up to find themselves in, beginning with the participants finding themselves "outside" in freezing cold temperatures. They were shivering, shaking, rubbing their hands together, and snuggling up with each other to try and stay warm. The participants were also astronauts on a trip to Mars, and once they "arrived". - they made contact with aliens: At first the aliens were nice I but pretty soon they turned mean, and participants were encouraged to show the aliens that they were angry. The participants then flew back to Earth and were put back to sleep. Other scenarios included the participants "watching" a big screen TV, watching the funniest show they've ever seen. When asked what they were watching, answers included things like "The Simpsons Movie", and "The Dave Chapelle Show". Another show on the TV was various kinds of porn-a regular porno, the participants in ~a porno, and the participants in a gay porno. This scenario was a definite crowd pleaser. When the participants awoke next, Sailesh told them they were looking at him naked. Reactions varied, as some of the girls stared and most of the guys looked away as fast as they could. Next, they were looking at him as a naked female, and the reactions were pretty much opposite of the first scenario-the girls looked away, the males stared. One male in the audience, who was hypnotized, went up to the stage and asked for Sailesh's number. A few scenarios later, the participants found themselves on the Jerry Springer Show. They were about to tell the nation about a disgusting habit their best friend has. One. notable response included a friend eating Legos, because he' "wants to shit a brick·'" The participants were put back into a deep sleep, and were awaken to find themselves as' the opposite sex participating in a dating service. When asked, they' were to explain to the audience what they were looking for in a partner. The last scenario Sailesh put the participants through is what he may be best. known OI. The . participants were awoken to find themselves being sprayed by a Super Soaker filled with muddy water. They were not allowed to physically harm Sailesh since they were «glued" to their chairs, but they were more than welcome to yell at him, make rude gestures, and so on. The next part of this scenario "unglued" the participants, and when they were sprayed with the Super Soaker, they were making love to their chairs, having the best multiorgasm of their lives. Another spray with the Super Soaker, and they got a little more kinky than they had been previously. To end the show, Sailesh instructed them that they would not be embarrassed about anything they did on stage, and that they would remember everything. They would have , great self-confidence from that point forward, which would last for the rest of their lives. Sailesh got his start with hypnotism when 'he was in college in Canada. A friend hypnotized him, and from that point on he read books about hypnotism and self-hypnosis. He started training, and has been hypnotizing for about 13 years. For those interested in books on hypnotism, Sailesh recommends any book published from 1990 to the present, He is also a clinical hypnotherapist, and Sailesh explained that no license is required for clinical hypnotherapy in North America.

The ,playstarts with Theresa meeting up with a man named Tony at a bur, for a blind date. Things seem togo well as they talk about all sortsof things, enjoy a beer, and evenset up a second date. On the second date Theresa realizes that oventhough Tony is a great guy, hejust isn't for her. She explains thisto him as best she can, and leaves in the middle of dinner. Tony,however, has other plans. \ He calls incessantly, buys her "owers and has them delivered to her at work, even visits her at work to try and talk things out withher. Even though Tony's physical presence wanes through the first act, the tension he creates in Theresa's life only intensifies. Theresa grows progressively concerned, and talks to her boss, Howard, about the situation. Eventually,everything escalates to thepoint where Theresa contacts the police; only to be told there isn'tmuch the police can do until Tonyphysically harms Theresa The toll the situation is taking on Theresa is apparent when she goes to interview Les Kennkat, a cult film director obsessed with J,\RT women and their breasts, and gets rather snippy with him at certain points in their interview. Tony seems to follow Theresa's every move, and in some instances seems to be a step ahead of her. As a result Theresa moves in with Howard while she looks for a new apartment. Her co-workers, on the other hand, aren't quite as helpful. Mercer, for example, wants to write an article about gender roles, and how backwards dating and courtship can be. Theresa is extremely offended by this, assuming Mercer wants to write about her specifically. Harriet, Theresa's assistant, doesn't realize the situation until it's far too late, and has given out Theresa's unlisted phone number. Once Harriet . comes clean about this, Theresa fires her. The seriousness of the situation is obvious when Howard and Mercer take a trip to Theresa's apartment to gather some personal items for her. Once they open the door, they find the' entire place ransackedbooks strewn across the floor, clothes ripped to shreds, food thrown around in the kitchen, just about everything is destroyed. They have a brief conversation, discussing whether they ought to call the police or not, and whether or not they should tell Theresa abont it. The final straw is when Howard, Mercer, and Theresa try to clean up her apartment when Tony rings the buzzer, and Mercer tries to pursue him as Tony flees the scene. Ultimately, the boy has gotten the girl-Tony got under Theresa's skin, and ruined her life without once touching ber. Theresa decides to follow the advice given to her earlier by the detective assigned to her case, Madeleine Beck - Theresa will change her name and move to a new state, Before she leaves, she sets things right with Les Kennkat, who had his colon taken out. As it turns out, he is the only person in the play she can relate to. The cast of this production had great chemistry on stage, which was evident right from the beginning. Staged readings, like the FreshInk series, use only minimal amounts of costuming, lights, and sound effects. The lighting, sound, and costuming were almost faultless in this production. The talkback after the show was very informative, and it was great to see how much effort was put into the show with the limited amount of time the cast and crew had to prepare.
