WPC is written and edited by in-Porkside's Student Newspaper students of the University of Wisconsin* SAMANTHA SCHMALING schma005@rangers.uwp.edu A current candidate in UWParkside's Search & Screen for the next chancellor is Deborah Ford. Ford is currently the Vice President of Student Affairs and Professor (non-tenured) at the University of West Florida in Pensacola, Florida. Ford has been with the University of West Florida since February of 2003. Ford also served as the Vice President of Student Affairs, Dean of Students, and an Associate professor at Spalding University in Louisville, Kentucky from 1998 until 2003. In a student forum on April 29, Ford mentioned that she has "a passion for education, higher education." She first and foremost considers herself to be an educator and enjoys the opportunity to help and be an influence every day in her work. A student at the forum questioned Ford on how she would upproach current challenges at UW-Parkside. While Ford gracefully admitted that she didn't have a complete grasp on every challenge that the campus was facing, she assured the audience that she had discerned and heard a small view of current issues and had done research about problems that face the campus. Ford replied to the question by stating that she would address the issues of funding, affordability, and budgeting. To meet fiscal challenges she has the philosophy that "plan drives decisions." Ford would continue strategic planning that current Chancellor Lane Hams started. "People first, students first." It's all about retention-retention of staff through budget cuts and retention of students through changes at the campus, and to minimize the effect that they feel. She also addressed the catchphrase that UW-Parkside occasionally is known for: "The Best Kept Secret." She stated that this school isn't something that should be kept secret; we are a Dr Thomas Keon JOHNATHAN JACOB Jacob015@uwp.edu Currently the Dean for the College of Business Administration at the University of Central Florida, Dr. Thomas Keon seemed sincere as he fielded questions from faculty and staff for almost two hours on Tuesday morning. As a number of very important issues were discussed, Dr. Keon appeared to welcome the questions and offer clear and concise responses to all of them. One individual asked if he would be active in the community if he were chosen to he Parkside's next chancellor. He indicated that roughly half of his time would be spent on campus, while the other half would be spent in the community. He cited his desire to meet with people from different backgrounds as well a s a need for fundraising as his re asons for wanting to divide his time in such a manner. A related question asked about his experience connecting the university to the community. Dr. Keon discussed, in detail, the various aspects of his community-related experience. He mentioned his time as chair of a charter school for kids with dyslexia and his work with the Florida Council for Sustainability as just some of the things he has done to be active in the community. He concluded his response to this question by passionately emphasizing that the "community should feel that they own the university." Another individual asked about the research he has done on Parkside and his findings. He indicated that having a strong faculty and being very diverse were among the positives that he discovered. However, he also suggested that Parkside has not grown, in terms of enrollment, like other universities in the state. Additionally, he acknowledged that Parkside has a strong liberal arts tradition and a lot of first-generation students. He mentioned that the school might want to consider making changes to its web site in order to better advertise its strengths. Another question touched on a sensitive subject. A member of the audience asked Dr. Keon how he would address the issue of Parkside having a reputation as being the "college of last resort." Dr. Keon indicated that he would look into taking any initiative that could change this perception of the school, but stressed the importance of maintaining Parkside's diversity. Dr. Keon has a plethora of experience in different area of academics. He seems to take his work seriously and be passionate about what he does. The audience gave him a warm reception before he began speaking and a round of applause when he concluded. Will he be our next chancellor? Only time will tell.

Ford stressed the recruitment of students to UW-Parkside, and the retention of the students that are currently at the school. Ford .stated that one approach does not fit all of the students' needs; different students require different reasons to come to UW-Parkside and to stay here. Another student asked why the interest in UW-Parkside, and why now? Ford stated that] "there is an opportunity for me to lead and to grow. To be the part of a learning community that values diversity, inclusiveness, and a high quality of academic learning experiences." She assured the audience that she wants to make a difference, and joked that she doesn't just pick schools based on the weather. Ford stated that she had a lot of "sticking" power, and could see herself at UW-Parkside for many years.

The Ranger News has meetings every Friday at noon. All students and faculty of UW-Parkside arc welcome. Please feel free to attend. Have any comments, concerns, questions, or story ideas? Please e-mail us at: rangemews@uwp.edu . We are located at Wyllie D139C Each person may take one newspaper per issue date. Extra newspapers can be purchased for $1 apiece. Newspapers can be taken on a first come, first serve basis, meaning that once they are gone, they arc gone. We work on the honor system, but violators will be prosecuted for theft. Faculty members and students 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. a? Well, here we are. The very last printed issue of The Ranger News, probably forever. It's kind of a bittersweet moment, really. I'm excited and definitely looking forward to being online next year—saves time, paper, and trees. Being online makes our deadlines more flexible and allows us to be timelier with our news, which will reduce frustration and stress on all of us. On the other hand, though, I will definitely be missing the hard copy. I will miss the deliveries, the workout that comes with pushing a cart full of newspapers across campus and back, and tending the newsstands. I will miss Sundays, with Ruth and Cedric, working through the maze that is laying out an issue. Hell, I'll even miss the frustration that would come with Hometown telling me that the issues would be late because yet another piece of machinery broke down. Newspapers, unfortunately, are a struggling business these days due to high production costs and low hard-copy-readership. We are no different. Hometown is the cheapest publisher available to us; even then it's 700 dollars a week in processing, printing, and delivery costs. As much as I wish we could continue printing hard copies...it is just not feasible any longer. With budget cuts across the campus, we could no longer justify spending 700 dollars of student money per week on something that could be done more efficiently and for much less. After we've spent a year with online publishing we may choose to go back to printing a hard copy every so often, almost like a showcase of the month's articles. It will mostly depend upon what publishers are still in business and how much they would charge us. If it is something we feel like we can justify spending extra money on and spending the time on, we will return to a few printed issues per year. However, I do not see printed issues coming back as frequently as they are published now. I would like to thank everyone at Hometown Publishing for everything they've done for us for the past few years. Everyone here at The Ranger News appreciates the work and time they've put in to make sure we get our issues in good condition and as we laid them out. There have been glitches, but that happens in any business. I wish them the best of luck with everything, and hope that other newspapers and publications can continue to give them their business. As for us, this summer will be a lot of hard work to get the website up and running the way it should be. Right now, you can see a placeholder of sorts if you head over to therangernews.com. Come late summer or early fall that space will be changed drastically. The website will change daily, with news articles being published as they are written, sports articles up a few hours after the game, and with the same weekly content (movie reviews, opinions, comics, etc.) that we have now. It will definitely be a transition. I know we will have some difficulties at first, because that is to be expected when you make a big change like this. But I have complete confidence in the staff, and I think we will successfully be publishing online from now on. I hope you all are as excited as I am about this move, and I hope you will continue to read The Ranger News in its new format. Thank you again to Hometown Publishing for everything they've done, and a big, big thank you to the staff at The Ranger News this year. You guys have been excellent to work with, and I hope to see you all again in fall. Congratulations to those who are graduating!

The Oak Creek High School Marching Band was split in two and performed in two shows because there were too many students. The production was well received by students, "especially when the band came on. That was a lot of fun," said Kristin Gauger- Kiraly, a freshman majoring in math with two teaching certificates and a music minor. The show also featured a live pit orchestra. The Music Man is an American musical that takes place in River City, Iowa in 1912. A traveling salesman under the pseudonym Harold Hill makes a living by convincing small towns that they need a kids' band, selling them instruments, instruction books and uniforms, and leaving before the children even learn how to play. Trying his hand at the unfriendly River City, Hill and the town find that some things are more important than money. The show is known for the popular songs "76 Trombones" and "Till There Was You." Some of the many allusions to classical plays, music, and other sources were explained in the program, along with names of writers, composers, a racehorse; and other people mentioned in the play. KELSEYHOFF HotT0013@uwp.edu The University of Wisconsin- Parkside Theatre Arts Department has finished its year on a high note with Meredith Willson's "The Music Man". Directed by Dean Yohnk, the production took place in the UW-Parkside Communication Arts Theatre. The leading roles, Harold Hill and Marion Paroo were played by Karl Gfall and Robyn Schneider. The production was unique in a number of ways. No music majors were cast because of a scheduling conflict with a Music Department choral performance. The cast was made up of theatre majors or minors and children from the community.

He currently has an account with Aramark, the food service company at UW-Parkside, and other locations. Aramark's contract is up and next year Sodexo will be taking over with a contract lasting up to seven years. This could be a great opportunity for all of the changes students would like to see with the food service, but it could also mean that Jason will lose this account. Lee is ready and willing to negotiate with Sodexo and he. hopes that they can see him as an asset to U\Y-Parkside's community. His company, Foodville, is local; with a strong start in Illinois, he has expanded north and hopes to move the center of his business nearer to Kenosha. That will lower the cost of his food on campus because he will not have to travel as far to get here. This all depends on how Sodexo sees Lee's company interacting with the community. He has made strong connections with Chef Joe Tominaro and Angela Jensen, Aramark managers who will have to reapply for their jobs. "Those are the two main people that I rely on," said Lee; "They give me the creativity, the freedom, and the support to develop a relationship with the students and improve our food quality." Lee and Jensen have been discussing a more extensive dinner menu featuring the more popular Cafe Creations and possibly a noodle bar. Though Sedexo will be able to talk directly to them, they will have a harder time hearing from the students. Lee says that comments from students should be emailed to DeAnn Possehl, the Director of Student Life. The Cafe^ Creations line at Brickstone Grill is long on Wednesdays. Students wait patiently to buy fresh, authentic Asian food made right in front of them by Lee, some staying for a few minutes to chat. He has a bit of a following; besides asking students about the food, he has also worked with student organizations like PAO. They organized a free spring roll workshop with Lee, who "can relate to the students," according to Ourlee Ourun, PAO treasurer and junior majoring in business finance. "He's a very approachable person," she said, and he is "willing, to help the orgs." Other students buy his packaged food throughout the rest of the week and many do not realize that he comes in every day to make it in advance. Lee was born in South Korea and moved to a suburb of Chicago in 1992. He is "maybe only one of three other workers of Asian descent," said Philip Noinaj, a junior majoring in accounting and PAO representative. "He contributes to diversity in their workplace." Noinaj is also of Asian descent and frequently comes to school early to purchase Lee's Cafe Creations. LEFT out CULTURE The Ranger News . J^KIRST logos, to minting a A . , . son the JO KIRST jo@ therangernews.com This past week, four senior art majors had their student showcase in the art gallery in the Communication Arts building. Andy Adamak, Juan Munoz, Josh Frazer, and Tony Kinnard were the featured artists in this senior show, and all showcased some excellent work. With a large variation in drawing styles, mediums, and moods, the artists' pieces ranged from long-standing webcomics to simple animations, sketchbooks, demo reels, websites and studio logos, to paintings. Adamak had a more complex 3D animation featuring the Dead Parrot skit Irorn Monty Python's Hying Circus which could be heard throughout the gallery as it played on a continuous loop. Artist Andy Adamak spent at least 120 hours on all his pieces lor the show, which included a comic, sketches, a website, the 3D animation, a demo reel, and a series of prints entitled "Life C ode', which is programming code printed over graphics, going through the cycle of life—birth to death. Adamak liked all his pieces for different reasons. Some showed his humorous side such as Life in the Jungle, a comic featuring a rather sinister, depressed lion who is held in captivity at a zoo. Other pieces showed a more serious side to his artwork. Josh Frazer spent an entire semester on his pieces, although Nautilus was a continuation of a webcomic he had previously been working on. He commented that all the pieces in the show turned out nice, and he could not pick a favorite. When asked about the challenges they faced, Adamak and Frazer had different answers Frazer found the gallery to be a "huge space" at first, and was nervous about collaborating with the others. Adamak had some technical difficulties with his projector and DVD player for the Dead Parrot skit, although everything turned out in the end. After graduation these two artists will be continuing in art. Adamak will be spending a summer in California, and hopes to get into animation or web development after. Frazer is hoping for a job in comics or graphic design, and intends to continue Nautilus. Frazer also commented that there are a lot of cartoonists at Parksidc, and he would like to see them meet up at some point, share information, and perhaps collaborate on projects.

If angels were to govern men! neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." The above quote, written by James Madison in 1788 in The Federalist No. 51, eloquently expresses a fundamental problem 1 see in governance: corruption. To this day, virtually everyone accepts that there is corruption in governance. Disagreements about the extent of corruption are usually discussed as matters of degree— i.e., how much corruption exists. Politicians are often considered greedy, dishonest or untrustworthy, but we've grown to expect and embrace that. We tolerate lies. We tolerate wasteful taxing and spending policies. We tolerate special interest solicitations. We even tolerate the subjugation of our legal procedures and civil rights to vague and ambiguous declarations of security "threats." are the sorts of Practices that we more or less expect from our elected (o selected) offices as a matter l °Te' A"y squabbles we have about corrupt government practice lunge on whether or not our officials do "too much" of the above at any given time. Men may not be angels in our view, but that is a far cry from believing that men can be demons. To believe that men could be demonic would be to say that men are capable of tar worse than the "routine" varieties of corruption we've all grown to accept." To entertain such a thought would be to not only consider corruption in terms of degree, but also in terms of kind -i.e. the nature of the corruption. Such a consideration would ask, "What sort of corruption is our government actually capable of?" As you might expect, I've asked myself this question, many times, over many years My answer? Our government is capable of far worse corruption than we should ever tolerate. Naturally, many of you will not agree with my conclusion; as well you shouldn't, at least not on the face of it. However, I do encourage you to consider one case in point that blows the whole discussion wide open. That case is the World Trade Center disaster of September 11, 2001. h v M°Stu °f Pr°bably believe ,hat 19 Arab fh J°!Tercial airllners in'° on?'" Trade Center towers °n 9/11, and as a result of the impact damage and ensuing nres caused those buildings to cnimble to the ground. This is, of course, what government entities such as the Federal emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the National Institute atd Technni»gy (IN1ST), and the so called "independent" 9/11 Commission would have you believe. If th ese government bodies were made up of angels, or something slightly less than angels, you might be able to believe them. If, however, men are even more devious than Madison anticipated, believing these government bodies on their claims alone could prove to be disastrous. There are a number of individuals and groups who have contested the government's version of 9/11 publicly. David Ray Griffin, a former professor of philosophy and theology, has written a number of carefully worded books challenging the government's version of 9/11 and arguing that the government was most likely involved in the crime. Most recently a consortium of scientists, including former BYU physicist Steven Jones, published a peer-reviewed Are We Too Busy? PATTT JENSEN student body president to insist organize ourselves and make it jense055@uwp.edu If someone asked you for help, what would your response be? I suppose the answer would depend on the person asking and the nature of the request. The main factor most people consider is whether or not they have the time to help you. They weigh their list of things that must be done and the time in which they have to accomplish those tasks. What is the likelihood that the reply to the request will be "Yes."? It's the end of the semester, and here at Parkside, everyone has lots of things to do. Staff, faculty, students, administration, all have a long list of "must complete" chores and the end of the semester is the deadline. What I find most disturbing is the dirth of interest in the world around us. The common goal of all Parkside students is graduation. Everyone pushes themselves to obtain the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, the diploma. But what is supposed to happen during the time between starting your college career and graduation? Parkside has suffered from the lack of involvement by students. We have' had two scandals, several search and screens, budget cuts, several questionable decisions by the student senate, and most recently, the request by the that instructor attendance at graduation ceremonies be made mandatory. How can students possibly have an effect on any of these events? - You may ask. Consider the founding date of UW-Parkside: 1968. What was going on back then? The answer is student protests. The late 1960's were filled with turmoil, but an enlightening fact is that student protests escalated to the point that the administrations of many universities made significant decisions based on these student protests. The administrative offices of Parkside are located in a distant part of Wylie Hall with limited access so as to prevent "out-of-control" individuals from harming administrative offices or personnel. I suggest this was done in response to the turbulence of that time period. Here is something to consider: your tuition dollars drive this school to its destination. While I admit that student tuition dollars are not the largest component of the university budget, it is still a significant portion. Your opinion is requested by many because, quite frankly, they want your money. Not only that, but funds from the State of Wisconsin come here based on the fact that you attend this university. So, what does this mean? It means that if we really want change, the answer is to happen. We make this university what it is. Faculty, staff and administration need us as much as we need them. If we want to impact the choice of the next Parkside chancellor, submit an informed opinion to at least the website if not the chancellor's area. If we want women's needs and issues addressed, first figure out what we want, then bang on the door until we get the request fulfilled. If we want everyone on campus to get a fair shake, then we can insist that this happens in a fair, unbiased manner. If we want events to happen a certain way, go to Student Activities and say something, or at least send an email. The million dollar question is "will we care enough to change what needs to be changed at Parkside by making it a priority in our schedules?" I welcome reader responses. article in The Open Chemical Physics Journal entitled "Active rhermitic Material Discovered in Dust from the 9/11 World Trade Center Catastrophe" (available tree at http://bentham.org/open.) I he article states the following: "We have discovered distinctive red/gray chips in significant numbers in dust associated with the World Trade Center destruction...we conclude that the red layer of the red/gray chips we have discovered in the WTC dust is active, unreacted thermitic material, incorporating nanotechnology, and is a highly energetic pyrotechnic or explosive material" In short, this paper argues that distinctive evidence of thermite (a type of explosive) was found in samples of dust from the Twin Towers on 9/11 —something that could not have been put there by 19 hijackers flying commercial airplanes into buildings. This paper's findings, in my view, supports a developing body of independent research that asserts that the World Trad e Center skyscrapers could not have collapsed on 9/11 because of airplane crashes alone, and identifies government entities as co-conspirators in the crime by virtue of the complexity of the crime itself, and the extent of the contradictions in the government's coverwbflt s not story—a charge that, if true, would demonstrate a significant deviation from what we generally consider "acceptable government corruption." Since I find the case for government complicity in 9/11 extremely compelling, 1 argue that Madison's critique of human nature falls short of what humans arc capable of when entrusted with governmental authority—i.e., there is something very sinister about a government who conspires to destroy civilianoccupied skyscrapers under the guise of Arab terrorists. While the details of 9/11 far exceed the scope of this opinion article, suffice it to say that there are a host of works available that outline the arguments for government complicity in the crime. Unfortunately, little attention is given to this issue in the mainstream media so if you wish to learn more about it, you must explore alternative media outlets. If you find yourself rejecting my assertion that our own government was somehow involved in the destruction of the World Trade Center towers on 9/11, ask yourself: Why? If you know your government is corrupt, how do you know the limits of its corruption? Anyone interested in more information about 9/11 should feel free to email me. A year in review ADAM SPIVEY spiveyadam@yahoo.com So, this about wraps it up; this is the last hard copy issue there is going to be. It's actually hard to imagine. I think that "hard to imagine" has been a theme of these past nine or ten months. This has been one hell of a year. There has been lots of changing going on at Parkside, as well as in the nation. Student government has rearranged the way it does things, and has seen political change within the school; we have the first black president of the United States, huge changes in the way our economy functions, stimulus plans, elections, the Ranger News is going online, impeachments and all sorts of political hell has broken loose, talk about a great time! That being said I want t o take this moment to appreciate all the things that have changed over the year, me included. I think change is often fought against and feared, seldom welcomed OPINION PA£E by the public. Though not all of the changes have been for the better, (I mean who really wants economic Armageddon?), a lot of movement in the right direction has been made; I'd like to see this momentum keep going this coming year and sec how far we can evolve as a society into something greater than we are now. Lastly, thank you everyone who has read along and encouraged me to continue to keep writing and submitting my thoughts to the paper, and thank you again for the conversations about those thoughts and ideas and taking the time to speak with me about them in a constructive manner. 1 invite all the of the Ranger News faithful to join us online next semester and keep the flow of ideas and change alive. It would be great to sec more people writing opinions next year. This semester has been an awesome thing to be a part of, so I am looking forward to another year of throwing ideas out there for debate.

Governor Doyle's new plan appropriates $25 Million from UW System student fees and uses it to pay for tuition grants across the state. In response, the Parkside Student Government (PSG) is treating the reversal of this decision as its top priority. PSG plans to set up a hotline through which UW-Parkside students can call Governor Doyle's office directly to voice their displeasure. PSG President Theodore Ruffalo has already begun to personally reach out to local and state officials for help. The hope is that the governor will see that this decision is detrimental to students, not just at UWPafkside, but all across the state, and that it sets a bad budgetary precedent about which all Wisconsin residents should be concerned. "The Governor is indirectly stealing student money to pay for state debt," Ruffalo stated, also pointing out that Doyle would be, "...effectively double taxing one of the poorest economic groups in the state and laying claim to their money because it is kept in the state treasury." Students at Parkside have proven to be very politically active since the last presidential election. Over 80% of the students turned out to vote in that election, and in elections this month, one member of PSG, Carl Bryan, even won i seat on the Kenosha School Board. PSG has also maintained an open line of communication with several state and j local officials, including State Senator Robert Wirch, himself a UW-Parkside alumni. Ruffalo has made it a point to ! take several trips to Madison in the last year to makes sure that legislators in the capitol know the concerns of his fellow students. In this instance, the students of UW-Parkside are concerned that Governor Doyle is essentially asking them to pay their own financial aid from money that has already been allocated for other purposes. Student fees are currently used to fund various programs at each campus ranging from diversity education to student health services. The primary problem students have with Doyle's planned raid on student fees is that it forces the students to increase those fees in order to pay for a financial aid system that is intended to make education affordable for all. Instead of helping ease the cost of attaining a higher education, the governor's plan essentially makes it more expensive in the end. The Parkside Student Government sees Governor Doyle's plan as shortsighted and meritless because it creates an ouroboros effect on funds that the students have already agreed to charge themselves and have budgeted for use. President Ruffalo summed it up succinctly, saying, "The cash the Governor sees on the books is not just free money for the taking, it is already spoken for by the students to fund programs they already have a difficult time affording." I PSG plans to start helping students contact the governor's office by phone by next week, and various meetings with other school and state officials are currently taking place to help contest Governor Doyle's budget plan. Anyone interested in weighing in is encouraged to contact the governor or his or her state representative. Questions about PSG's stance on Governor Doyle's budget plan, or other PSG initiatives, may be directed to the Parkside Student Government at psga@uwp.edu via email or by calling 262-595-2036.

Students Show Concern about Campus Security and Community after Hate Crime James T. Burns Burns029@rangers.uwp.edu NO^ HATE / / On Wednesday, 1 February 2012, the UWParkside campus was turned on its head with news of a hate crime occurring in the Pike River Suites. A noose, made of rubber bands, was found hanging in the open in one of the common areas. It was reported, but the situation quickly escalated with the discovery that the student who initially reported the incident had been targeted. A sign depicting derogatory, racial language in the presence of a second noose was found. The straw that finally broke the camel's back was a "hit-list" that circulated with the names of several AfricanAmerican residents on it. It was then that UW-Parkside took steps to increase security by soliciting the help of additional officers from the UW-Milwaukee police department and police detectives. It was not until that Friday evening that investigators confirmed they had a suspect in custody and that the whole thing had been a hoax. This "delayed" response did not escape the notice of students like junior Kayla Owens, 20, who exclaimed, "I didn't care, at first...! felt like the African-American community was passionate, but they went about it, they responded the wrong way...I can understand that you're angry, and hurting, but don't attack each other [other students] and our staff." When asked about her thoughts on the perpetrator's possible motivations for such an act she had this to say: "They did it to get attention, about the issues of crisis communication, racism underneath the surface on campus, the lack of dialogue. Maybe [they wanted] to raise awareness about how an issue of race, and security, at Parkside, and how the African-American community feels overlooked when something serious happens." However, there were students on campus who saw the incident as an opportunity to show compassion, solidarity, and love towards their follow students. One such student was junior Kevin Coughlin, 29, who was spotted carrying a "Free Hugs" sign for much of the duration of the incidents and continues to carry that sign. He explains it almost as though it were a calling, as much as a conscious decision. Seg Concerns page 7 Are Parkside Students Paying More Than They Should? Emily Harring Harri091@uwp.edu There has been a murmur of discontent around the University of Wisconsin-Parkside campus ever since the SUFAC (Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee) allocations for student organizations' budgets for the next fiscal year have been released with one shocking result: the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA)'s budget was approved at $0. Given this result, The Ranger News met with the Speaker of the Senate Amanda Barber (who has done expansive research into the matter and was the first to address the issue) to see why OMSA (and others)'s budget had been either cut or decreased. The reason for this is a bit complicated and involves a bit of background explanation. Every student in the UW system pays segregated fees (hereafter Seg Fees). These Seg Fees are defined by the UW system as "charges in addition to instructional fees, assessed to all students for student services, activities, programs, and facilities that support the mission of University of Wisconsin System institutions." In other words, Seg Fees are fees that each student pays in addition to their other charges (tuition, residency, etc) in order to fund the campus' student organizations, athletics, and other Student Life activities that students are involved in outside of the classroom. See Student page 6 The "Fountain of the Future" Ellen Pate-Bridges Pateb001@uwp.edu UW-Parkside recently debuted a new style of soda fountain in the Brickstone Eatery called the Coca-Cola Freestyle. This innovative new Coke machine, nicknamed the "Soda Fountain of the Future," offers more than 100 drink varieties with over 70 diet and low-calorie drink options and more than 90 that are caffeine-free. This new Coke machine is truly modern with a touch-screen display that replaces the standard push-button method of choosing drinks. Instead of using bags of syrup like traditional soda fountains, the Coca-Cola Freestyle uses cartridges and the flavors are loaded into the machine's bottom portion, eliminating the mess that comes along with those traditional soda fountains. The physical design of the machine has a sleek, modern appearance as well. Sodexo, the owner of the Brickstone Grill and Eatery at UW-Parkside, chose to offer the new soda fountain here as part of a plan to place the same fountain in over 100 of its locations throughout the country. According to the company website, Sodexo's Better Tomorrow commitments to reduce water intensity and non-organic waste to its client sites are supported by the Coca-Cola Freestyle. The machine eliminates 30 percent of the packaging and water that comes along with traditional soda machine equipment, making it environmentally responsible. UW-P is one of the premier schools in the UW system to try out the new "Fountain of the Future." Although this new soda fountain has been in use for a short period of time at UW-Parkside it is already well-enjoyed by students and patrons of the school and appears to be a very welcome change. ,A The R ange r ' News University "| Wisconsin I'arksidc Student Newspaper 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI53141 Phone: (262) 595-2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 E-mail: rangernews@uwp.edu THE RANGER NEWS February 14,2012" Editor in Chief: Executive Editor: Emily Hairing harri091 @uwp .edu Daniel Lavender laven006@uwp.edu Advertising Director: Andrew Donahoe donah006@ uwp .edu Lead Photographer: Cedric Ray ray00007@ uwp .edu Staff Reporters: Alyssa Kay kay00003 @uwp.edu Trevor Henkel henke020@uwp.edu Alexandria Binanti binan001@uwp Bobby Johnson johns376@uwp.edu Laura Ellen Pate Bridges PatebOO 1 @uwp.edu Steven Neimi niemi004@uwp.edu Copy Editors: Photographers: Cartoonist: Designers: Maggie Lawler lawle020@uwp.edu James Burns burns029@uwp.edu Michael Jensen jense089@uwp.edu Kelley Klinkhammer klink003@uwp.edu Carl Rollmann rollm001@uwp.edu Mark Fleming flemi008@uwp.edu Zak Eden edenOOOl @uwp.edu Maggie Lawler lawle020@uwp.edu Charles Reynolds reynoO 18 @uwp .edu MISSION STATEMENT: THE RANGER NEWS STRI VES TO INFO RM, EDUCATE, AND ENGAGE THE UW-PARKSIDE COMMUNITY BY PUBLISHING WELL-WRITTEN, ACCURATE STUDENT JOURNALISM ON A BI-WEEKLY BASIS, AS WELL AS ONLINE.

Letter from the editor What a crazy couple of weeks Parkside has had since the last paper came out. Not only were students on edge because of the hit list hoax and rubber band nooses a couple weeks ago, but now a new array of interesting legality matters have sprung up (more info on that can be found on both the cover page and continued on page six). Parkside, you never cease to amaze me. Let's remember to respect each other, okay? We have such a strong community, as was proven by the recent events. In better news, I recently picked up Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy by John le Carre so 1 could read it before the DVD comes out on 20 March 2012 (which I will be picking up because it's full of amazing British actors), and it makes me want to live in a spy novel. Spies are cool. If, you know, they're on your side, but I digress. They're cool. You know what's not cool? The fact that we had a couple of amazingly warm days and now it has decided to snow again. Not cool, Wisconsin, not cool. Here's to hoping spring decides to come sooner rather than later.

February 14,2012 Why V-Day Isn't So Important Contrary to what Hallmark Tells You Emilly Harring Harri091@uwp.edu I have never understood why so many people get hung up on Valen- If there is one thing Hollywood is good at, it is making people believe tine's Day.

The best moments are the him (unless he is always a jerk; then break up with him). So many women simplest. Grand gestures of love and desire, while nice to dream about, have unrealistic expectations on how V-Day must be spent; I blame Hoi- remain some of Hollywood's most fallacious lies that everyone continues lywood and Hallmark. At the same time, many men presume that if they to believe, do not go above and beyond their regular, day-to-day behaviors on VDay, their women will be disappointed in them. This is not always true, And don't even get me started on those atrociously cheesy Hallmark men. I know, take a moment; this is shocking news. cards full of love, hearts, and rainbows. Hallmark makes everything look like a bad Lifetime movie. But, I digress. The truth is, it is typical of women to justify spending gregarious amounts of money on themselves, particularly on holidays.

In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play, tells a peculiar tale about the mistreatment of women. The play is set in a spa town in the vicinity of New York in the late 1800s. Electricity has just begun to thrive in the homes of those able to afford it. Dr. Givings, a gynecologist in this time of the late 1800s, has harnessed a bit of this electricity so that he may practice his treatment on patients suffering from "hysteria," using a strange electric-powered box. In modern terminology, this strange box is known as a vibrator. His treatment of patients takes place "in the room next door," or, what he refers to as the doctor's "operating theater." A new patient, Sabrina Daldry (UW-Parkside student Brenna Kempf), suffers from symptoms that alarm her husband. Furthermore, she is sensitive to light and prone to tears. Her treatment with the vibrator begins a strong attachment, and an insatiable curiosity to the vibrator which causes her addiction to the treatment. Actress Brenna Kempf left the audience roaring with laughter as she played numerous orgasms on stage. In the second act, Leo Irving (UW-Parkside Student Antonio Torrez) suffers from a diabolical case of unattainable inspiration. This is a principal cause for hysterical behavior as he is an artist. His treatment with the vibrator produced an even louder reaction from the crowd given the awkward nature of the situation. Having a reputation for the dark and edgy, as Director Gale Childs-Daly announced in opening this production Friday night, the Fresh-ink series commits its material to the new, stylish plays of new and rising playwrights. Sarah Rhul, for instance, is a young, new playwright that likes to experiment with the bizarre aspects of a very real world. Her characters, for instance, live in a suspended reality while inhabiting this one. They speak with a poetic language, but consist of flesh and blood. Overall, the staged reading was a huge success, and produced two nights of roaring comedy! The Fresh-ink series continues its edginess with its last installment of the year, Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom, in late March. Get ready for a world of video game mayhem as virtual reality collides with the reality we know to be our own! scenes provide plenty of shock value and keep you guessing. These scenes do this so well because there is no precise build up and they happen without warning. In a lot of scary films, there is music that tells you when something is about to happen, and it takes away from the shock. In this film, a lot of the shock does not happen during the music; instead it happens when there is silence. With the Woman in Black killing children for revenge against the village people who killed her son, Kipps must figure out a way to put the spirit to rest before his son is next. Misha Handley, the child actor who plays the son of Radcliffe's character, is his godson in real life. As such, Radcliffe and Handley were able to establish a relationship for the film a lot easier. In a film where the children are the targets, having an established relationship between a father and son is important so that the emotions seem more real and the viewer can have empathy for the character. Even though this film has supernatural elements in it, it is still a perfect post-Potter film for Daniel Radcliffe in the sense that he is not playing a kid anymore, nor is he just an adult, but a parent. The supernatural elements give the viewer a nostalgic feeling of their favorite boy wizard, while showing them that the child actor they grew up with is now a mature actor capable of continuing in the world of film. photo courtesty ofimdb.com Trevor Henkel HenkeO 11 @ u wp .edu The Woman in Black Review Once a role that a lot of actors have been known for has ended, they have the problem of being successful in later films. Actor Daniel Radcliffe, who has . played Harry Potter for more than half of his life has come out with his first post-Potter film, The Woman in Black, and it was thrilling, captivating, and a film you do not want to watch by yourself at night. Radcliffe plays Arthur Kipps, a young lawyer and single dad who travels to a remote village that, unknown to him, is haunted by a vengeful ghost that has been terrorizing the locals and killing their children. While Kipps is the main character, the film focuses on both of the locations at which he stays at, along with the people he interacts with. This helps the viewer get a better feel of what exactly is happening, instead of only focusing on his own struggles. This also helps with the more frightening scenes that take place. The color scheme of the film uses a lot of dark colors and gives the characters a pale skin complexion that not only adds to the dark tone of the film, but is also eerily beautiful. Nothing about this village is welcoming. Aside from two people, everybody glares at him, and the parents drag their children inside when he walks through the town; he is isolated and unwanted. The gloomy atmosphere created by continually cloudy skies and numerous periods of dense fog give this place a chilling and haunting feeling. Even in the mansion he stays at he is alone, the creaking noises and echoing sounds are louder and more nerve racking than if he was with other people. The film's build up to the frightening scenes is done in a way that is not at all cliche, while not over the top either. The 6 A Change in Leadership Emily Harring Harri091@uwp.edu Like semesters in the past, Parkside Student Government (PSG) has had to say hello to a variety of new members as old members have stepped down. Known for its high turnover rate, students can oftentimes see new faces each semester in the PSG office. While the high turnover makes it hard to develop the organization's leadership positions, it also allows new students the chance to join. "We have had very high quality students who have joined PSG lately," said Speaker of the Senate Amanda Barber. "Among many others we have underclassmen Senators Annalee Sepanski and Lauren Bradshaw. The two of these wonderful students have went above and beyond their job requirements as Senators to serve the student body and they have spent a great deal of their time working on sub-committees like SUFAC and Student Life Committee. This is quite a bit of dedication and time commitment, especially from underclassmen." There are many reasons that PSG experiences such a high turnover with students, according to Barber. One of said reasons include the fact that some students have other job opportunities or internships that take up much of their time and they find that they have to vacate their seats; another likely scenario is that many students do not realize the dedication and time commitment necessary in order to be a PSG officer and they vacate their seats in order to work on academics, The Ranger News as well as spend time with their families. One of the most surprising vacations of the semester was the stepping down of Vice-President Corey Bullocks. Bullocks was appointed VP by former VP and current President Nelson Senda JR. after former President Justin Irwin's vacation. "[He] is an [extremely] dedicated student leader here on campus and Parkside is a better place as a result of his enrollment here. He does many different types of work to better the student life experience at Parkside; I can't say enough about his dedication. His heart is definitely with the students," said Barber. Appointed to take his seat, former President Dana Calamia finds herself once again part of PSG. "[She] was the best choice for Vice President for many reasons. With it being so late in the year, we needed to have someone fill the Vice President position who already knew a great deal about the powers, means, and responsibilities not only of the Vice President position, but also PSG generally. Vice President Calamia is a true leader on campus and she has shown her dedication to the students of UW Parkside in more ways than can be counted," stated Barber. While news of the vacation of Bullocks and appointment of Calamia's position was certainly a surprising way to begin the semester, an even more surprising turn was the vacation of SUFAC Director Lauren Axelson shortly after budget hearings for organizations began. In an emergency meeting, former SUFAC Director Jisha Jose was reappointed. Now that all the leadership positions have been secured with strong, dedicated students, PSG hopes to gain February 14,2012 more input on Student Life issues around campus that need to be addressed. Students can meet with Senate members at their weekly meetings on Tuesday at 9PM in the Walnut Room of the Student Center, as well as attend the upcoming event PSG is hosting called Rock the Vote on 29 February 2012 from 7PM to 11PM in the University Ballroom. Rock the Vote is a pre-election concert in which students can get to know their PSG leaders, ask them questions, or bring forward any concerns about the campus community. There will be performances by Above Aurora, Dropping Daisies, Will of Tomorrow, and Thunder Driver, as well as free food. There is a $5 cover, but with a UW-P ID there is no charge. Barber also personally invites any member of the UW-P community to contact her regarding Student Life issues at any time. She can be reached at psg.speakerofthesenate@uwp.edu or at (262) 595-2036 Students and Seg Fees Continued A full-time Parkside student currently pays $960 in Seg Fees for the Fall and Spring semester, or $480 for one semester. There are specific criteria that must be met in order for something to be funded using student Seg Fees. This criteria is set up by the Board of Regents. The Board of Regents is the governing body of the University of Wisconsin system. There are 18 members on the board who review and either approve or disapprove the budgets of each UW University, along with other responsibilities. The Board of Regents also sets policies for the UW system; they have many policies concerning the way Seg Fees can be spent. One particular policy, G15 (which can be found at http://www. wisconsin.edu/fadmin/gapp/gappl5.htm) gives a list of definitions for the specific items Seg Fees can and cannot pay. According to the criteria laid out by G15, UW-P students' Seg Fees are not allowed to pay for a substantial number of things that they are currently paying for, including OMSA. "In G-15 section III. Definitions, the definition for Student Services Administration led SUFAC to cease funding for several positions in the Parkside Student Center, Student Life, and Student Activities. These positions alone cost the student body over $265,000," stated Barber. "In G15 section III. Definitions, the definition of Educational Opportunity led SUFAC to cease funding for OMSA. The total amount between the.. .listed positions and for OMSA is over $300,000." While some may see this as a problem, Barber feels this is a wonderful opportunity for both SUFAC and the UW-P student body for many reasons. Of all four-year UW universities, UW-P has the highest percent of its Title IV federal financial aid recipients in the income level of lower than or equal to $30,000 a year. As many know, UW-P also has the second lowest total enrollment out of all four-year UW universities, which increases the financial burden on the students. By ceasing to fund these programs and positions, the financial burden on the students is lessened. "As a member of SUFAC, I have to keep information like this in mind. That is why SUFAC is adhering to the financial policies, as laid out by the Board of Regents, and ceasing funding on certain positions and programs. This does [not] mean that these things will not be funded, it means that the funding must come from, per G15, GPR [General Purpose Revenue] funding," said Barber. Each specific university receives GPR funding, from the state, via the Board of Regents. Neither Student Activities nor OMSA plan on appealing SUFAC's decision; appeals must be made by 14 February 2012. The final decision on SUFAC's allocations, however, lies with the Chancellor. In the event that SUFAC's allocations are not approved by Administration, SUFAC is able to appeal to the Board of Regents and ask them, as the UW system's governing body, to rule on how these positions and programs must be funded. The deadline for these appeals is 1 April 2012. "OMSA, Student Activities, and [the] Student Life Administration are valuable [and] necessary parts of the Parkside family. We need them! This is why we have such a wonderful opportunity here; SUFAC is making sure that these amazing parts of our University stay with us in a way that respects the financial situation of our student body," explained Barber. That is the important thing for students to bear in mind: the departments and OMSA will be funded, just not through Seg Fees. "By ceasing to fund these programs and position, the financial burden on the students is lessened." February 14,2012 The Ranger News 7 Concern: Students concern with campus safety After everything that happened last week, I went on my radio show and started to talk about how we need more love on campus. How we need to embrace love. That s pretty much where it came from. I made up a sign, and tried to spread the love. I want to do this to re-establish the connections that we think are stronger because of Globalization." These expressions of concern about security and consideration may be justified and are given weight by all the pain, fear, and anguish caused by these events that transpired on our campus. However, despite the fact that these alleged grievances exposed by this hate crime could have been lodged, as Ms. Owens implied, in a better fashion, much less tainted by collateral damage, we all can and should learn a lesson from this. Not only that hate shouldn't be tolerated, but that we should be tolerant of each other, of diversity, and embrace it wholeheartedly Campus Residence. Photo courtesy of UWP.

The only logical option is out-of-class learninej ohns376@ uwp .edu Students are finding it harder and harder to keep up with the growing work load of their classes! After speaking with several students on campus, it has been interesting to find that the workload of classes has been steadily increasing. Students are bewildered by the escalating demand of outside work, versus the demand of work inside the classroom. Some students, such as Eric Harington, even went as far as saying, "It used to be that sixty-five percent of the work and experience was dealt with in the classroom, and the other thirty-five percent was done outside of the class. Now, I feel like we do seventy-five percent of the work outside of class, and twenty-five percent in." Eric is a non-traditional student at UW-Parkside. While other students agree with this claim, there are those who disagree entirely. For example, students like Laura Kang, a communications major at UW-Parkside, and Alecia Annachino, a double Major at UW-Parkside, feel that real world experience is key to a person's education. As a result, there is a common consensus among many students that seventy-five percent of the work should be done outside of class. In any case, what are the reasons for the seemingly massive increase in the workload? Some would say it has always been this way, but a few pieces of conclusive evidence include professors facing pay deductions, and the university facing financial and fiscal budget cuts. Given our current political situation, professors across the state are being faced with the dilemma of having to teach more classes, with less pay. Because professors across campus are being charged with more and more duties, their time for class work is depleting, along with the time of the normal class period. As a result, the student's learning has to be compensated for in some sort of fashion. The only logical option is out-of-class learning— thus, the extra workload. Among the many explanations and reasons for the extra workload, this is one of them. "The extra workload," as Annachino explains, "allows us to practice our time management skills, and gets us ready for our realworld experiences, especially within the job market realm." Voting Rights Changing in Wisconsin Alexandria Binanti BinanOO 1 @ uwp .edu Just one year ago Wisconsin made shocking headlines with Scott Walker's highly contentious "Budget Repair Bill," which threatened unions as well as thousands of public sector employees. The response to this bill was overwhelming. Fourteen Democratic senators fled Wisconsin to try to impede the vote, millions of demonstrators flocked Madison in the subsequent weeks, filling the capitol building day and night, and even democratic revolutionaries in Egypt rallied in support of Wisconsin's demonstrations. Wisconsin democrats lost the fight, and students are now seeing the ramifications of the conservative term. One of these effects in 2012 has been the implementation of new voting changes in Wisconsin. Governor Scott Walker passed into legislation the "Voter Identification Bill" in May, 2011. Employed this January, the primary elections on the 21st of February, as well as the possible recall election, will be the first elections to be impacted by the statute's new regulations. These new changes have be^n seen by opponents as an effort to disenfranchise thousands of potential voters with its confusing requirements, and potentially diminishes the student vote. Representative Peter Barca noted while visiting UWParkside in December to address the voting bill changes, "In a fiscal year where we have seen nothing done to create jobs, where 1,200 jobs have been lost [in December] alone, and 20,000 since the budget bill started in July, this bill [the voter i.d. bill] seems like a mistake of priorities... These changes seem to limit many democratic constituents [such as students and senior citizens]." The University of Wisconsin System as well as well as campus-dwelling students may find these changes to be an impediment to the voting process. From now on the legislation will allow the following IDs for voting: Wisconsin driver's licenses; state-issued ID cards; military IDs; passports; naturalization certificates; IDs issued by Wisconsin-based tribes; and certain student IDs. Student IDs need to be issued from accredited public and private colleges and universities in Wisconsin, include the student's signature and have a two-year expiration date. Students would have to establish they are currently enrolled in the school if using a student ID. A provision to require addresses on student IDs was removed from the bill by the Assembly. Student residents looking to register to vote on campus will have a new minimum residency requirement of 28 days, opposed to the prior 10 day requirement. UW-System IDs do not currently meet the legislation's requirements, and the changeover could cost the system $1.1 million to reissue IDs. At the University of Wisconsin Parkside, students who qualify are being offered a new college voter ID that fits legislative requirements. Steve Wallner, interim director of student life at UW-Parkside stated, "Most of our students have proper identification since most students drive and are from the immediate area...it would have been cost prohibitive for Parkside to give all its approximate 4,000 students a voter id so they are available free upon request." The cost of making an id each costs the school about $2.00, excluding the cost of the new equipment required to make the IDs. According to some Parkside Student Government officials "The cost of the voter ID is much less than the chance of fraud." Remarking that nine other states have the same voting requirements, along with 19 other state variations of voter ID requirements, Wisconsin is hardly a pioneer in this process. And while the projected cost of the statewide change seems high, Steve Wellner has assured UW-Parkside a more cost effective means can be implemented to give students the optimal access to voting. If any student is seeking further advice or have any questions regarding these voting changes the UW-Parkside Student Affairs office would be happy to answer and questions. ^ Range r News I niversity of Wisconsin Parkside Student Newspaper Copy Editors: 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI53141 Phone: (262) 595-2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 E-mail: rangernews@uwp.edu Editor in Chief: Executive Editor: Emily Harring harri091 @ uwp .edu Daniel Lavender laven006@uwp.edu Lead Photographer: Cedric Ray ray00007@uwp.edu Staff Reporters: Alyssa Kay kay00003@ uwp .edu Trevor Henkel henke020@uwp.edu Alexandria Binanti binan001@uwp Bobby Johnson johns376@uwp .edu Laura Ellen Pate Bridges PatebOO 1 @ uwp .edu Steven Niemi niemi004@uwp .edu Photographers: Cartoonist: Designers: Maggie Lawler lawle020@ uwp .edu James Burns burns029@uwp.edu Kelsey Klink Klink003 @ uwp .edu Bethany MacDonald macd017@uwp.edu Carl Rollman roll mOO 1 @ uwp .edu Zak Eden edenOOOl @uwp.edu Maggie Lawler lawle020@ uwp .edu Charles Reynolds rey noO 18 @ uwp .edu MISSION STATEMENT: THE RANGER NEWS STRIVES TO INFOR M, EDUcate, AND ENGAGE THE UW-PARKSIDE COMMUNITY BY PUBLISHING WELL-WRITTEN, ACCURATE STUDENT JOU RNALISM ON A BI-W EEKLY BASIS, AS WE LL AS ONLINE.

I hope you're having a lovely Tuesday (free of snow and icky weather). Is anyone else counting down the days until spring break? While I think I have been counting down the days 'til spring break since the start of the semester, it seems to have gotten especially bad these past couple weeks. I blame the random, amazing nice spring days we will occasionally have before it goes back to being dark, dreary, and altogether completely unpleasant. I just want warm weather, is that too much to ask? In other news, Parkside has been particularly quiet since the hoax a couple weeks back. There have been plenty of events to attend, though! The Chili cook off this past Tuesday seemed like a delicious event, Great Expectations opened this past weekend (a review of which can be found inside this edition), and PSG election packets are available for anyone interested in holding office (yes, it's that time of year again!). The Ranger News will keep you in the know about all the interesting things going on around campus! Remember, you can check out our website (www.trnonline. org) for other information. Before you enjoy the rest of the issue, I will take the opportunity to nudge everyone in the direction of This Means War, the new movie with Tom Hardy. It's cliche and I totally guessed the ending, but oh my, does his face make up for its faults. Plus, it'll make you laugh. So, go see it, love it, and have a wonderful week. 28 February 12:00 PM-6:00 PM Art Exhibition: ' 13^ g West African Art from the Mathis Collection Everyday Matters: Works by Three Local Artists "I'm in the Wrong Film' and Other Works" by Hans Rita Tallent Picken 6:00 PM -7:00 PM Zeta Sigma Chi: "Her Success Story" with Jackeline Herrara 7:00 PM-9:00 PM BSU Gospel Explosion Cinema 29 February 12:00 PM-6:00 PM Art Exhibition: West African Art from the Mathis Collection Everyday Matters: Works by Three Local Artists 'I'm in the Wrong Film' and Other Works" by Hans Gindlesbe Rita Tallent Picken 12:00 PM -1:00 PM 1 Zeta Sigma Chi: Let's Play Loteria Student Center Maple Room 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Geography Club: Motivational Speaker Sammy Rangel " v - Mblifiar<>i05 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Noon Conceit: Mark Eichner, trumpet Bedford Concert Hall 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM PAMA Presents: Rock the Vote : Student Center Ballroom . 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM -' U W-Parkside Jazz Ensemble Bedford Concert Hall 9:00 PM-11:32 PM Foreign Film: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo i March ~'V/ 12:00 PM-8:00 PM West African Art from the Mathis Collection Everyday Matters: Works by Three Local Artists 'I'm in the Wrong Film' and Other Works" by Hans Gindlesbe Rita Tallent Piciken 7:00 PM -8:00 PM Zeta Sigma Chi: Dance with the Z-Chis Molinaro D132 The Straylight Poetry Contest is under way!

Burns Burns029@rangers.uw.edu The University of Wisconsin-Parkside hosted the first Straylight open mic of the new semester in the Den on Friday 17 February 2012. The crowd was buzzing with conversation, and the anticipation was high. The roster was hard to fill with people to sign-up and perform at first, but things picked up quickly after the initial nervousness wore off. The first few performances were A Capella renditions of songs by Beyonce, in particular her song "Halo," performed by Delonte Carter and Jozef Mason, filling the venue with strong voices. It took a little while, but the poets finally started to come on in bursts and waves, followed by long sets from local musicians, and students playing originals, interspersed with covers of popular bands. The poetry was sometimes deep, and exploratory, with the occasional nonsense, causing people to burst into random laughter. William May, a reviewer on the Straylight staff at Parkside, continued the tradition of telling a bad joke before performing their poetry. May's was intelligent, as much as humorous, asking the crowd, "Do you guys want to hear a joke about Potassium?" When the crowd agreed, he responded with a terse, "K." Other times it was quite melancholy, or expressive. One piece of nonsense in particular, which was quite popular with the crowd, was what's called an "exquisite corpse" poem. How it works is that someone starts with a couple lines of poetry, and passes it to their neighbor, who then writes their own couple of lines, and passes it on like this. The catch being that when you get the poem, to add your two lines, you are only allowed to see the two previous lines of the poem. This unique method of composition really engaged the audience, and it really went over well when everybody heard what they wrote. It was complete hysteria; people couldn't believe what others had written. The night was rounded out by various encore performances by several of the musicians from earlier in the night that had more material to play. A set done by Colin Flanigan and Christiana Caronti, of The Aches, was extremely popular. The musical styling of Matt Leptich on guitar was toe tapping and folksy. Paul Braun and his band 10 displayed a smooth, contemplative sound. Soft vocals combined with eclectic guitar riffs held the audience in place. Over all, it was a good start to the Straylight's spring season. There was a great variety of entertainment for everyone. So keep your eyes peeled, and your calendar's open for the next event to be announced. If y our interested, you can follow Straylight literary magazine for event and content on Facebook and on Twitter, at @StraylightMag, and on their website www.straylightmag.com. February 28,2012 The Ranger News New Federal Loan Rules Steven Niemi Niemi004@uwp.edu Many new graduates are discovering that the new federal loan rules for income-based plans are very complicated, especially those trying to pay off their student loans. Ranydy McCready, the director of scholarships and financial aid, says that the new consolidation laws affect some 11,000 past and present students at thf?University of Wisconsin-Parkside. If a student graduates, leaves school, or drops below the required credits to be considered a half-time student, they have a grace period of six to nine months before repayment begins on a federal loan. At UWParkside, half-time enrollment means six credits for undergraduates and four credits for graduate students. It is important to contact your loan servicer if you're struggling making payments, as you might be able to change your repayment plan or request a loan deferment or forbearance. Be aware that unpaid interest can add up when postponing your loans. In some circumstances, forbearances allow you to stop making payments for a certain period of time, temporarily make smaller payments, or give you more time to make payments. If you're not aware of your outstanding loans, you can check your loan history at www.nslds. ed.gov (National Student Loan Data System). The last thing you want to do is default, as it can have very serious consequences, such as: ineligibility for additional federal student aid, payments can be deducted from paychecks, state, federal income tax refunds can be withheld and applied toward what you owe, late fees can be added to what you already owe, and there is even the possibility of being sued. It's important to be aware of your loans, payment plans, and any sources of assistance. If you're on the verge of graduating, start doing research now or you could end up losing thousands of dollars without even knowing if. Coping After Hate Crime and Hoax Alexandria Binanti BinanOO 1 @ uwp ,edu University of Wisconsin Parkside's Ethnic Studies Department offered a meeting to stalf and students to respond to the incidents on campus involving the hate crime hoax. The goal was to organize a conference with the administration to cope with the traumatic events that took place during the kick-off of black history month. Dr Abey Kuruvilla, professor of Business and Technology, noted that during the two meetings the chancellor initiated on Thursday night, "The fear was so real.. .the lights flickered off momentarily and there was terror from students." Realizing the death threats were a hoax did not lesson the fear or minimize the obvious racial strain that arose on campus. And while Chancellor Debra Ford congratulated students on coming together as a community, Vice President of Parkside's NAACP, Whisper Jackson, noted that, "segregation is overwhelmingly affecting our student body." Associate Professor of Communication and Ethnic Studies, Fay Akindes, spoke to the gathering and led the group to express their thoughts and feelings. "Dialogue of race should not be a taboo," one staff member announced, "even though the noose incident was overshadowed in many ways by the hoax, it did not minimize the fact that this blew the cap off already present anxieties." From this, Akindes suggested an option for more ongoing public forums on racial issues. The meetings held regarding the noose incident and death threat hoax seemed to incite a public forum opportunity that was heartening to see with such an immense and diverse turn out. It became a safe place to speak for many. Encouraged by the universal response from all students, the idea for a continued dialogue became imperative. Several suggestions were tossed around to go to the administration for this week, even comparing events and actions to UW-Platteville's initiative against hate crimes. Chancellor Debra Ford encourages this pro-active stance by staff and students. "[The hate crime/hoax] enabled us to respond to the challenges in a positive way and showed us the true value of community. We will continue to learn as we complete afteraction reviews and engage in continuing dialogues." The events of Parkside should be seen a lesson between racism from all cultural groups. As Whisper Jackson stated, "To erad cate segregation whether mental, physical, psychological, spiritual, forma, and/or informal segregation on UW-Parkside's campus, everyone (students, faculty, staff, police) need to work hard together... for everyone here is affected whether you feel its implications or not."

Burns Burns029(5) rangers, uw.edu Currently in the throes of economic upheaval, or presently recovering, people are considering their financial situations more closely in the wake of what is now being called the "Great Recession" by many Americans. Movies are rarely able to capture this sense of anxiety, and the keen uncertainty about where the next paycheck will arrive. However, Vittorio De Sica does this masterfully with one of his masterpiece works, The Bicycle Thief. The Bicycle Thief was released in 1948 in post-war Italy to a public all too aware of how bleak life was after such a global conflict, and reflected, in a subtle style, the hopeless paths we walk at times when faced with real adversity. Viewers should be able to easily identify with this story. A father, Antonio Ricci, is struggling to find work in Rome and maintain a livelihood to support his family. He does all this while simultaneously trying to raise his son, Bruno, to be a morally upstanding citizen, but poverty complicates things for him. The gut wrenching begins when Antonio's bicycle is stolen while he is hanging posters his first day on the job. Without the bicycle, which is vital to his work, his family, like so many others, will suffer and starve. The film follows father and son on their dogged quest to recover that which was stolen. While navigating the twists and turns of Roman alleys, ghettos, and searching everywhere for the culprit; a needle in a haystack if ever there was one, Antonio gradually succumbs to desperation. This film resonates so perfectly with the economic trials that face Americans today that it is almost eerie. The Bicycle Thief reaches into the past for proof that people have gone through this before. It has a stark, lingering, visual style that puts you in the character's wellworn shoes, and rumpled hat. Bruno, Antonio's son, makes the film all the more emotional because of that very loyalty in his father He stays right alongside his father through all that they experience. Too young to know how hard life truly is, Bruno believes, "Dad will fix things." It just makes the film all the more heartbreaking and beautiful. It stands as a timeless testament to humanity and our constant struggle If you would like to see the Bicycle Thief it plays in the Student Center Cinema 23-24 February at 7:30 p.m., Saturday 25th February at 5 & 8 p.m., and Sunday 26th February, at 2 & 5 p.m. Great Expectations Exceeds Viewer Expectations Alexandria Binanti BinanOO 1 @ uwp.edu In an era where modern society has experienced the rise and fall of fortunes, and social class is constantly being reexamined, the University of Parkside's play Great Expectations transcends the centuries to deliver a performance that is nostalgic as well as relevant. Based on the Charles Dickens novel, the Barbara Field adaption stays close to the original. The story goes through the life of a young boy, bound by the hardships of society. The audience examines his hopes, his rise, and his fall that teaches the lesson quoted from the character Jaggers, "Never judge by appearances—irrefutable evidence, that's the rule." The evolution of love and compassion is hauntingly poignant for the characters, proving that relationships matter more than status. Bobby Johnson leads the cast, delivering a reserved yet thoughtful portrayal of the Dickens' protagonist, Pip. While the plot is considered a classic drama, newbie Kenjamin Lafayette entertains the audience with playful anecdotes of humor. True to his ComedySportz background, his range of character voices, faces, and antics are perfectly delivered to break up the seriousness of the plot. One theater goer, Tom Webber, claimed, "The show does the book justice... I liked the added humor as well." Utility is something to be praised here. Actors are seen playing multiple roles, convincingly transformed by a costume change, an altered accent, and even different posture. Sound effects are mostly generated from the cast themselves, seen by the audience to give dimension to the performance. Student Sam Crawford noted, "The stage setting and the use of the sound effects were aesthetically pleasing." The idea to show the audience the belt snaps to signify a hand slapping the face, or the tin cans tapping to visualize a horse's clap, seems to add to the mechanical instrumentalism of the late 19th century setting. Debuted on Friday 24th February, the show runs through the next two weekends 24th February-3rd March with performances at 7:30 PM, as well as a 2:00 PM matinee performance on the 26th (no 7:30 showing) and an added performance on the 2nd of March at 10AM. For opening night, the show sold over 110 tickets, with seating room for 125. Ticket cost is low; only $7.50 for students while seniors and adult ticket prices are slightly higher.

February 28,2012 The Ranger News 7 UWP Press Release UW-PARKSIDE WIND ENSEMBLE, CHOIR EVENT FEATURES WORLD PREMIERE KENOSHA, Wis.—The University of Wisconsin-Parkside Music Department presents the world premiere of the Good Friday-inspired composition "The Ascension" performed by the university's Wind Ensemble, Chorale, and Masters Singers Friday 2nd March.

With music by UW-Parkside Professor James Crowley and lyrics by Senior English Lecturer Patrick McGuire, "The Ascension fulfills the two educators' long-standing wish to collaborate. Crowley selected a portion of a longer poem McGuire penned. "He gave me an extended poem, and I found this section, which is kind of a self-contained, shorter poem called 'The Ascension, Crowley said. "And I thought, with hardly any adjustment, this would work as a choral piece." McGuire said the words were inspired by the Catholic ritual of the Holy Rosary. "The Holy Rosary are prayers and meditations on the life of Jesus," McGuire stated. "So, this is the ascension of Jesus, which is what Good Fn ay is about." . . , Crowley and McGuire's composition will be played for the first time by the UW-Parkside Wind Ensemble and sung by the university s ora e an Master Singers.

Music Review: At The Drive-in Steven Neimi Niemi004@uwp.edu In honor of At the Drive-In ending their 11-year hiatus last month, it seems appropriate to look back at the band's debut album from 1996 Acrobatic Tenement. Despite the low quality of the recording, which was produced for only $600, the top-notch lyrics and music make this album a worthy one. ATDI would go on to create more melodious albums, like In/Casino/Out, and heavier albums with Relationship of Command, but Acrobatic Tenement was a perfect blending of both styles. The album tells incredibly emotional and powerful stories of the band members' experiences growing up in Texas. The lyrics may be nonsensical at times, but they never lack feeling. Cedric Bixler, lead vocals, moves from a very mellow and soft style of singing to an almost straight out yelling throughout the album. Jim Ward's, guitarist and backup vocals, screaming contasted to Cedric's singing worked perfectly. Feelings just poured out of this album, especially in the songs "Ebrogho and Initiation " Though the music isn't very technical, the songs are still very catchy. ATDI has a sound that can't be described, but if you are a fan of The Mars Volta or Sparta I would highly suggest taking a look at where the members of those bands started. I would aNo sugges taking a look at This Station Is Non-Operational ATDI s greatest hits, before listening to Acrobatic Tenement. The band s soundI has changed over th eir 1 1 ye ars together, and ^ woud give the casual listener a better insight to this band TJ lowquaL ity of the album may be off-putting at first, but don t let it push you away from a truly great debut album.

The celebration begins with a flag ceremony featuring the Aztec fire dancing group Omeyocan. Students from all around the campus are encouraged to participate in this worldly event, as students are the ones carrying the flags during this all-campus march. This particular event will kick-off in main place at 11AM on 26 March and end in the Student Center. Other events that will be occurring include "Weddings Around the World," which showcases marriage traditions from the Italian, Hmong, Ethiopian cultures; a showing of the Marx Brothers classic comedy, "Duck Soup;" a discussion about the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, led by History Professor Jeffrey Alexander; The World Bazaar, a fair of merchants selling goods from different countries; dance workshops; a foreign film series unique to the Worldfest event; and lectures from various professors on worldly issues several days throughout the week. For example, Economics Professor Farida Khan lectures on "Urbanization in Developing Countries" on 29 March at 12:30PM in the Oak Room. On 29 March, as well, students can stop at Brickstone Eatery, which will be catering different delicacies from Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas, from 11AM to 2PM. The final and most popular festival event each year is the World Cuisine Dinner, which will be much anticipated this year. The main event showcases the rich global culture and talent of the campus and community, and features a delightful evening of entertainment and dining pleasures. During the World Cuisine Dinner, enjoy performances by the Extra Crispy Brass Band, the Garlic Mustard Pickers, the Mahone Middle School Bonsai Society, Tarantella Dance, and Greek Dance. Student Performances include performances from various clubs and organizations on campus such as the Chaos Dance Club and UW-Parkside Gospel Choir.

The UW-Parkside Sports and Activity Center (SAC) is undergoing an estimated $1.5 million remodeling project that will transform two racquetball courts and the current weight room into the 4,170 square foot Ranger Fitness Center, complete with a dance studio space and sports medicine treatment area. Renovations are expected to be completed in time for fall semester 2012. Currently, free weights from the weight room are moved to the Wellness Center. The Center closed last week to remodel for the weight equipment, but reopened Wednesday, 14 March, and will remain open to students and SAC members. The university's Athletic director Tamie Falk-Day spoke of the renovation by stating, "Although the area was renovated 11 years ago, we [UW-Parkside] have outgrown the space and technology.. .the new facilities should improve recruitment and retention of athletes in addition to keeping students, faculty, and staff healthier through exercise." And Falk-Day is right. Since the 2001 renovations, UW-Parkside has had to establish a Bachelor's of Science program to deal with the 300 plus percent influx of students throughout the decade pursing degrees in health and fitness fields. Recent graduate from University of Wisconsin Parkside Anthony Rodriguez exclaimed of the new fitness center plan, "I wish we had this, when I was getting my degree in Sports Medicine...it would be cool to see, with the expanded space, a possible dance major started here also." Funded through an increase of student fees, the new center will be adding exterior windows and multi-zoned heating and cooling equipment for the building. New fitness equipment will be installed and added class space will accommodate the still growing Applied Health Science programs. SUFAC budgeting also consists of covering costs, employee salary, and increasing the SAC's operating hours. While it is projected that the Ranger Fitness Center's revenue will not cover the renovation costs, the center's largest competitor, the RecPlex, has a high monthly membership cost which could entice new SAC members. Despite the criticism, the outcome seems optimistic for the center's new development Photo Courtesy of Parkside Acti 1 uiversii} of W iscoiisin l'aikside Student Newsp aper 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI53141 Phone: (262) 595-2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 E-mail: rangernews@uwp.edu Editor in Chief: Executive Editor: - Emily Hairing harri091 @ uwp .edu Daniel Lavender laven006@uwp.edu Lead Photographer: Cedric Ray ray00007@uwp.edu Staff Reporters: Trevor Henkel henke020@uwp.edu Alexandria Binanti binan001@uwp Bobby Johnson johns376@uwp.edu Laura Ellen Pate Bridges PatebOO 1 @ uwp .edu Steven Niemi niemi004@uwp.edu Copy Editors: Photographers: Cartoonist: Designers: Maggie Lawler lawle020@uwp.edu James Burns burns029@uwp.edu Kelsey Klink Klink003@uwp.edu Bethany MacDonald macd017@uwp.edu Carl Rollman rollm001@uwp.edu Zak Eden edenOOO 1 @uwp.edu Charles Reynolds rey noO 18 @ uwp .edu MISSION STATEMENT: THE RANGER NEW S STRIVES TO INF ORM, EDUcate, AND ENG AGE THE UW-PARKSIDE COMMUNITY BY PUBLISHING WELL-WRITTEN, ACCURATE STUDENT JOURNALISM ON A BI -WEEKLY BASIS, AS WELL AS ONLINE.

The end of the relaxing week-long vacation marked the beginning of a week filled with stress and drama: one of which I thought I'd left behind when I graduated from high school. Alas, this is not so. Let me take the time to officially address some of the rumors possibly circulating around campus about The Ranger News. It has come to my attention that a belief exists that members of The Ranger News were fired. This is not true. Unfortunately, some members have decided to leave the group, but it was of their own volition and they are missed by the remaining members on staff. Sometimes, decisions are made that not everyone agrees with and they choose to leave. That decision is completely out of The Ranger News' hands and the fact remains that not a single member has been fired this year. I hope everyone enjoys their week! While I wouldn't mind a little more rain (who doesn't love a good thunderstorm), I know many Parksidians are waiting for more sun to arrive. As long as there isn't snow, I'm happy. 27 March 12:00 PM - 2:00 PM Reading Workshop: Monica Haller's Veteran Book Project Rita Tallent Picken/Foundati on Gallery 11:00 AM-2:00 PM International Menu: A Taste of the World Brickstone Eatery 12:00 PM-6:00 PM Art Exhibition: Monica Haller's Veteran Book Project Rita Tallent Picken/Foundation Gallery 12:00 PM-6:00 PM Art Exhibition; Juried Student Exhibition Rita Tallent Picken/Emile Mathis Gallery 12:00 PM-6:00 PM Art Exhibition: Eileen Mueller Neill's 'Imaginings" & David Rowe's "Aesthetic Constructions" Rita Tallent Picken/Fine Arts Gallery 1:00 PM-2:00 PM Business Services Training: Travel Rules Tallent 245 3:00 PM-4:00 PM Worldfest Lecture: "Weddings Around the World" Student Center/Walnut Room 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM ; > Worldfest Discussion: " 1964 Tokyo Olympics" Student Center/Walnut Room 5:00 PM-6:00 PM Worldfest Food Tutorial: Columbian Sancocho De Polio Pike River Suites Kitchen 6:00 PM-7:00 PM Worldfest: Latinos Unidos present a Quebradita Workshop Pike River Suites Conference Room 28 March 11:00 AM-12:00 PM Advising & Career Center Workshop: Job Search Essentials Wyllie D175 11:00 AM-3:00 PM Worldfest World Bazaar & Mila Dechant: Belly Dancing Workshop < : 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Big Read: "Sun, Stone, and Shadows" Book Discussion Library Overlook Lounge 12:00 PM-1:00 PM Noon Concert: McKeever Piano Duo Bedford Concert Hall ; Worldfest Food Tutorial: German Food Pike River Suites Kitchen 6:00 PM-7:00 PM Worldfest: "Gammas around the world: Remedies for different illnesses" Student Center/Oak Room 1. 6:00 PM-7:00 PM Holocaust Survivor: Susie Fono Greenquist 103 7:00 PM -8:00 PM 1 Worldfest Workshop: "Basics of Anime" Student Center/Walnut Room 8:00 PM -10:00 PM BSU: Hip Hop Explosion The Den 8:00 PM-9:59 PM Worldfest Anime Film: "Howl's Moving Castle" Student Center Cinema 29 March 12:30 PM - 1:30 PM Worldfest Lecture: "Urbanization in Devolving Countries" Student Center/Oak Room 5:00 PM-6:00 PM Worldfest Food Tutorial: Thai Curry Noodles Pike River Suites Kitchen §1 7:30 PM-9:30 PM Arts Alive!

Last Tuesday, she graced UW-Parkside with her presence once again and performed in the Den for about an hour. Pestle, who is on a college tour for her latest EP titled For the Sky, performed a set of both original songs, as well as covers of some of her favorite pieces. The set was simple: Pestle stood on the stage with her acoustic guitar and sang song after song, giving brief interludes about each original song before she began it. The covers that Pestle sang were recognizable yet held a unique Pestle sound to them. She made them her own. Pestle sang "Drive," by Incubus (one of her favorite bands), as well as a powerful, vocally dynamic cover of "Creep," by Radiohead. One of the most innovative songs Pestle sang was a mash up of different covers that include, "Replay" by Iyaz, "Zombie" by the Cranberries, "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga, "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, and "Forget You" by Cee Lo Green. Pestle's original songs vary in genre. Some seem a bit on the pop side, others a bit on the alternative pop rock side. Her voice, often compared to Alanis Morissette or Sarah Maclachin, has a soulful and honest quality to it. Pestle has control over her vocals whether she's hitting a high register or belting in the lower register. The original songs Pestle sang included, "These Two Hands," "Make you Hurt," "Trying to get used to you," which is a very honest and strongly crafted piece, "Enough for me," "Pinch Me," "For the Sky," and "The Red Death Ball" which was based on an Edgar Allen Poe short story. Pestle wrapped up the evening with another cover of one of her favorite songs, "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley. All in all, the performance IP Photo courtesy of www.hanapestle.com was near flawless, with a balanced combination of original songs and popular covers. Hana Pestle can be found on Facebook and Twitter, as well as her website www.hanapestle.com. Pestle's albums can be bought both on her website and on iTunes. Interview: Hana Pestle Photo courtesy of www.hanapestle.com After the performance, Pestle sat down with The Ranger News. The full interview can be found at www.trnonline.org. The Ranger News: How long have you been singing and playing guitar? Hana Pestle: I've been singing since I can even remember; we have videos of me at like age two performing. And I've been playing guitar for like the last ten years. So, once I started playing the guitar and learning other peoples' songs and covering other songs, I kind of learned song structure and shortly after that, I started writing my own songs, not knowing what I was doing, but still I just dove into it...I started playing shows live when I was a freshman in high school. I just kept playing and playing and playing until somebody was there that actually knew a producer in LA, which was weird because I was in Billings, Montana! (laughs) And so, they came up to me and said, "Yeah, I've got this producer in LA and he's my friend and I think he'd really be interested in you." Of course, I kinda rolled my eyes and was like, "Sure, you do." But, he had filmed my show and gave the guy a DVD of my show.. .and they ended up liking it and I went out like a month later and it turned into me recording an album. It was really one of those.. .surreal situations. TRN: So, then your music career as a professional musician has been for how long? HP: About five years. I graduated in '07 and I moved to LA like a week after I graduated and I'd say that that's probably when I really started. When I had to start paying my bills with my music, (laughs) But, honestly, even earlier than that, maybe junior year, I started playing at the farmer's market...and I would make bank! All of my friends would be working for a week and I would make the same as them in four hours... Honestly, when I moved out to LA that's when I could get a profession started. TRN: What have some of the highlights been of your career? HP: Well, I think...in 2008,1 went out on tour with Collective Soul live. It was kind of like [a] 90's nostalgia tour. And, that was huge for me because it was my second tour I had ever been on and we were playing [at] these huge amphitheaters...I grew up listening to Collective Soul, so that was really special and they had me come out and sing "Shine" with them a few nights. That was probably one of the highlights of my career so far. That entire tour was just amazing and really cool.. .1 actually gained a lot of fans from that tour because I was in front of so many people every night opening for them and that was pretty amazing.. .Honestly, every day that I'm out on tour, I'm pinching myself because the fact that I'm able to do this and support myself is pretty amazing. So, it's hard to choose just one highlight, but ultimately that Collective Soul tour was pretty huge and mindblowing. TRN: What's your favorite thing about performing? HP: My favorite thing about performing.. .it's just where I feel like I belong. It's like, I feel at home on stage, and it's not really like the attention necessarily, but it's just creating the feeling of community and people having fun and getting inspired. I love inspiring other people. When people come up to me and say, "You inspired me to write a song," or "you inspired me to draw this"...that's what it's all about to me. It really feeds me.. .1 live to sing and sit on stage. Singing is obviously my number one passion, so just getting to sing anywhere with a microphone.. .I'm set. TRN: Speaking of inspiration, what are some of your musical influences and inspirations? HP: As far as other artist influences, I grew up listening to Alanis Morissette and Sarah Maclachlin and Radiohead and Madonna. I actually get compared to Alanis Morissette and Sarah Maclachlin a lot and I think it's because I listened to them so much as a young girl. As far as inspirations like other songs and stuff, everything kind of inspires me, but mostly relationships. I like to actually write from literature, it s a fun way if you have writer's block or something.. .just go read a book and write from the perspective of a one of the characters or write about what you would do if you were in that situation. It's just a good way of getting out of.. .I'm on the road so many months out of the year so it gets monotonous so I'm like, "What am I going to write about. I h ave the same boyfriend and the same job. So, that kind of e ps me get out of my own mind and maybe I write a song that is not even about the literature but just kinda sparks something in me...

Mathis Gallery. Honoring Racine businessman and art connoisseur Emile Mathis the space, formerly the Regional Center Gallery, is located in the new Rita Tallent Picken Regional Center for Arts and Humanities. The naming ceremony was held Tuesday, Feb. 28, the same evening as the ribboncutting for the new UW-Parkside Foundation Gallery. During the ceremony, UW-Parkside Dean of Arts and Sciences Dr. Dean Yohnk said Mathis Gallery and Conservation Framing on Racine's Main St. was one of the first places he visited while deciding whether to join the UW-Parkside faculty, a visit that helped convince him to relocate here. UW-Parkside Foundation Board President Chris Lie talked about the good advice he received from Mathis about a family painting and called Mathis Gallery and Conservation Framing a solid anchor for downtown Racine. Chancellor Debbie Ford said Mathis Gallery and Conservation Framing amounted to a "mini-UW-Parkside" having served as the university's art exhibition space when construction forced the closure of the Communication Arts Gallery. The university's Director of Development David A. Diaz who served as master of ceremonies for the evening said the Emile H. Mathis Gallery preserves Emile's art legacy for generations of students and artists to enjoy." Earlier in the evening, the new University of Wisconsin-Parkside Foundation Gallery opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The foundation's past president Dr. Joan Wilk, who was instrumental in securing support for the gallery naming, said she was excited by the gallery's mission. The Foundation Gallery serves as a space for UW-Parkside student art exhibitions and the work of cutting edge contemporary artists who are selected to exhibit there by UW-Parkside students. Hours for all three galleries are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from noon to 6 p.m., Thursdays noon to 8 p.m., and Fridays and Saturdays noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free. For a list of exhibitions, visit www.uwp.edu keyword art galleries on the UW-Parkside web site. .§f* ftaaffl extLevel's eSports presentation and Major League Gaming jstreaming event was a great success.

Milwaukee Chamber Theatre, located in the third ward of the downtown Milwaukee area, dedicates its work to the enrichment of local talent and theatrical awareness in the Milwaukee Area. As a result, in 2009, newly appointed artistic director, C. Michael Wright began a program where one show out of their season each year would be a collaboration with a neighboring University. He began this program with the intent of it being a three-year engagement, choosing three Universities to collaborate with. The three chosen Universities were Marquette University, UW-Milwaukee, and UW-Parkside. This initiative was inaugurated in 2009 when MCT mounted William Inge's Picnic in collaboration with UW-Milwaukee. Last year, MCT's production of Lion in Winter was a collaborative project with students and professional artists from Marquette University. This year, UW-Parkside has the pleasure of partnering with MCT in their production of Bus Stop by William Inge. Director of this production, Lisa Kornetsky, speaks about the sheer delight of working with MCT on this project. "What is so great about this experience is that students will be able work with and build relationships with professionals in the field. Theatre is a collaborative art, and this engagement will serve as yet another example of how collaboration is a key element in the realm of theatre." MCT has the reputation of being one of the city's oldest, professional theatre companies. The theatre was co-founded in 1975 by two local actors, Montgomery Davis and Ruth Schudson, who envisioned a space where audiences could open their minds to new theatrical ideas, and Milwaukee's theatre professionals could broaden their skills and apply their craft. MCT has been a nomadic and thriving theatre company for over 18 years! Proud of its opportunity to collaborate with such a strong theatre company in Milwaukee, UW-Parkside remains excited to begin this project, and contribute its talents to those of MCT!

Creator and President, Steve Zambo, created the club so that Catholic students at UW-Parkside could "have fun, pray and grow closer to God in the Catholic tradition." His goal is to create a place where students can escape from everyday life as a student and meet other students who share their same beliefs and values while reconnecting with God. The "Newman Club" is not an original creation, though, as there are more Newman Centers on campuses throughout the United States. CNC centers have their own chapels, priests, and provide the opportunity to attend Mass and receive the sacraments. The Catholic Newman Club at UW-Parkside isn't the same as the other centers, but they hope to be one day. Right now the club is trying to find ways to make Catholic prayer, study, weekday Mass, confession, and fellowship available to students on a regular basis. The CNC meets on Mondays from 5pm to 6pm in Wyllie 273. Zambo says that the meetings will consist of "group prayer at the beginning of the meeting followed by a time to discuss various topics." Topics might include past gospel readings, or how the Catholic faith relates to current events. He encourages those interested to bring a Rosary. In addition to weekly meetings, CNC has been looking into holding rosary walks, movie nights, sledding outings, and attending daily Mass at St. Peter s in Kenosha on Monday mornings at 8 am Currently the club is trying to work with the Kenosha Young Adult Catholics organization to hold monthly social events with young adults from the Kenosha and Racine areas. The club also has a major speaking event coming up towards the end of March or early April. If you are interested in joining the Catholic Newman Club or have any questions you can contact Steve Zambo by emailing him zambo001@uwp.edu.
