Professor discovers a nci ent species of croco dile AU ST IN KR IEG ER krie g0 04 @ ran ge rs, uw p. ed u A new specie s of ancient crocodilia n was recently categorized and named, Deltasu chus mothera li, by the Arling ton Archosaur Site Team (AA S) located in A rling ton, Texas. This re search was stalled in 2008 by Dr. Derek M ain w orkin g from the Unive rsity o f Texa s Arlingto n. Dr. Chris Not o, a paleontologist from UW-Parkside , took over the site after Main's passing in 2013, where he ha s bee n continuin g work on the site since. Archosaurs refer to a group of dinosaurs' who would be relatives to modern day crocodilian s and many bird species, dating back between 95-100 m illio n years ago, included in these dinosaurs would be Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops. This discovery and class ifying of this croc is significan t becau se o f the specific time in the fossil record it gives a look in to. Th e d isc ov ery Deltasuchus motherali is approximated to have been 20 feet in length, and b ased upon fossilized bones of its former prey, the croc consumed almost anything it wanted to with in its habitat. This, Dr. Not o explained, "was an aquatic ambush predator like most crocs today... but instead of wildebeests it was grabbing duckbill ed dinosaurs...and was definitely the top predator in its ecosystem." This specimen is important be­ cause it is a new and unique spe cies of Archosaur, but it also acts a s better insight into the Midd le Cretaceo us period , a time on Earth where litt le is know n about how animals evolved and lived. Dr . No to explains that the classifyi ng of this specific speci es of croc is significant beca use "it 's not related to any crocodiles or alligators today, it's part of an extinct lineage, desp ite superficially resembling modern crocodilia n." N o t l ik e any ot he r " c ro c " As Dr. Noto explained, this species of croc does not have any living relatives today, desp ite its strik ing resemblanc e; therefore, Noto refers to the spe cies as a "croc cousin" . The methods, re­ searching, and cataloguing o f every little and big piece of bone is critic al to placing the animal into a known lineage. When deciding where to place a spe cies, paleontologists compare f eatur es of fossils from other simil ar speci es using computer software to locate the best lin eage th e feature s of those fossils fit in. Usi ng this technology and the many hours o f hard work from studen ts and faculty sort ing through the fossils, No to and the AA S team was able to distinguish Deltasuchus motherali as a new and unique specie s. St ud en t in vo lve m en t Over the years many stu dent s h ave been involved in the sorting, cleaning, an d catalo guing the different sp ecime ns re covered . Currently, Dr. Noto is w orking wi th stude nts who are scre en washing sed iment r ecove red on the site to obtain the sm allest o f spec imens in the site. Through a serie s of sie ves, stude nts sort through sedime nt to find larger pieces to be dried in an oven an d ex­ amined through microscope after. The work fro m studen ts has re cove red a mass of specime ns from the dried sediment which gi ves a very clear look into how the eco syste m functioned a s a whole? Dr. Not o expr esse s his excitement for the fu- Stu den ts as sist ing i n t he exc ava tion pro ces s. ture of the site in saying, "this is a period of time [where ] we don' t really have much of a fossil re­ cord, whi ch gives the potential f or things we find to be brand new." In a ddition to students workin g on UW-Parkside's campus, many st udents have also cle aned spe cimens at the Kenosha Dinosaur Discove ry Museum throu gh a partnership wit h Carthage College. Furthermore, since 2011, two student s have actually been able to travel to Ar­ lingto n and take part actual excavation. Dr. Noto asse rts the importance of student involvement with this project goin g on to say , "ever y part of the work , no matter how seemingly mundane, you have to do the cleaning and do the sorting, hundreds of hours of wo rk, but every b it o f it is absolutely cri tica l." COUR TESY OF AUST IN KRIEGER U W - P a r k s i d e r e a c h e s h i g h e s t e n r o l l m e n t i n five y e a r s COUR TESY OF KIM BERLY M VETI MBO T AMBO Stu den ts hu rry ing to g et t o th eir ne xt c las s. DE RE K FY E fyeOOO01 @r ang ers , uw p. edu The beginnin g of a new sem ester for inc omin g freshman and transfer stude nts always brings excitement, anticipation and a littl e uncertainty. UW-Parkside began the se meste r wit h a New Student Convocatio n, Tue sday, Sept. 5, in the Sports & Ac tivi ty center welco ming the largest incomi ng class in the past five years. The U W-Parkside c lass of 2021 totals 4769 studen ts the large st enroll­ ment since 2011 when enrollment was 4887. This year's enro llment is also up from 20 16's total o f43 99 student s enrolled. The growth o f the university is an important milestone as it reflects UW-Parksid e's abilit y to rema in a viable optio n for students. Especially non-tradi tional students, which many UW-Parkside students ar e. UW-Parkside is one of the cheap est four-year public institutions i n the state of Wiscon sin and is in a co nve­ nient locatio n between Milwa ukee and Chicago. This is also a large draw for students who a re from those larger are as but are searching for a school in a smaller a rea that is still able to offer good educational opportunities. UW-Parkside also ha s a student to faculty ration o f 19:1, which is fairly normal considering that, according to the Nation al Center for Education Sta­ tistics, the national a verage for college student-to-faculty ratios is 18:1. Th ou gh ts fr o m con voc a­ tio n Du ring the ceremony, students were introduce d to key s taff and faculty members and learned about the new and exciti ng opportu nities af­ forded to them at UW-P arkside. The unive rsity o ffers 33 undergraduate majors and three master's degre es in 22 academic departments. Dr. Br yan Le wis, assistant dea n for health-re lated professions, led an energetic and thought-pr ovoki ng discussion at the new student convoca tion. His speech challenged the incom ing students to deeply contemplate wh y they are pursuin g their chosen major, and also encour­ aged them to contin ually strive to find me aning, purpose, and self- fulf illm ent throughou t their academic careers. UW-Parks ide Chancello r Debbie Ford, remind ed new students that someday they themselves would be wa lkin g across th e commencement stage. "Be gin with the goal in m ind ," Ford said. Because the 2017 inco m­ ing class is so large, Ford anticipates yet another record brea king graduat­ ing class in 2021 . Re co rd cla ss size Enrol lmen t is not the on ly area in whic h UW-par kside has see n recent grow th and succe ss. In May 2017, the univer sity celebrated its larg­ est commencement in histo ry. Last year, 529 studen ts were eligi ble to participate in the spring commence­ ment ceremonies, whi ch were held on May 13. This number was larger than the previous year's rec ord class by 8 percent. In fact, more students have graduated from UW- Parkside in the past seven years than any other seven-year period in the un ivers ity's history Ar ea o f g ro w th Jody Se kas, ass ocia te p rofesso r of theatr e a rts a nd chair of the UW- Parkside Theatre Arts Department calls the incomin g c lass for fall 2017 "one of the larg est in recent history. This is an exciting time for the departme nt. On behalf of my colleagu es, we're very liappy to be working wit h this new group of talente d stu dents." The su cce ss and g r owth of the departm ent comes as no surp rise, especially when one conside rs the de­ partment's coasta nt efforts to improve and find new o pportunities for stu dent s. Throug hout th e sum mer 32 Thea tre Arts stud ents participated in internships in the fields of d esign, s tage manage ­ ment, perform ance an d technology. Thes e inter nships occurred in a variety o f p laces around the country inclu ding, The Sa nta Fe Op era (New Mexic o), American Playe rs Thea tre (Wisconsin), Pacific Con servator y The atre (Califo r­ nia), Kohl 's W ild Theatre (Wisconsin), Muhlenberg Summer Music Thea tre (Pennsylvania), Cumberland County Playho use (Ten ness ee), Utah Festival Opera (Utah) and S ea World (Texas) . The faculty of the dep artment we re also b usy this summer. Profe ssor Brian Gi ll facilitated a 10-da y training program with a Chic ago-bas ed pro fes­ sional fight director, held at U W-Park- side. Profess or Gill , along with eight UW-Parkside th eatre stude nts, took the training and p ass ed the Soc iety of American Fight Directors (SAFD ) pro­ ficiency test in unanned s tage combat. Profess or Gill also arra nged for repre senta tives from Montana Sha kesp eare in the Park, and the Chi­ cago Sha kesp eare Project to come to UW-Parkside this y ear to audition our stude nts for intern ships. Addition ally, Profes sor Mi sti Bradford operat ed as a Cost ume Craft Supervisor at American Pla yers Theatre, in Spring Gree n, Wl, and Pro­ fess or J ody Se kas worked as a Sce nic Designer for a project at t he Oregon Sha kesp eare Festival.

Whil e tha t is no t necessa rily a ba d quality, I wou ld ha ve liked to se e mo re ne w stag es, sinc e they w er e som e of my favori tes in the ga me .

A vote of no confidence demonstrates that a voting body believes that an individual in a position of power lacks the ability, motivation or commitment to the responsibilities of the position held, and therefore, cannot lead properly or effectively. The resolution will serve to voice the concerns of the student body of UW-Parkside over comments made by Cross in regards to 'shared governance' in the merger process of two and four-year campuses. When news of the merger hit campuses, students across the state promptly requested a voice in t his process in a joint statement under the Wisconsin State Legislation section 36.09(5). This statute states that students "shall have primary responsibility for advising the chancellor regarding the formulation and review of policies concerning student life, services, and interests."

There is still lots of work to be done before the office is operational. AUSTIN KRIEGER krieg004@rangers. uwp.edu Garden of Eatin' is a commu- "nity garden Ibased in Kenosha dedicated jto providing Ifresh fruits and vegetables for pantries and shelters in the area. Garden of Eatin' (GOE) was founded by veteran and UW-Parkside alumnus Andy Berg. While attending a sports nutrition and fitness class with Professor Stefani Strauss-Thompkins, Berg was required to work 5-10 hours of volunteer work within the community, but was unable to make the time while having two children, working full time, and studying as a full time student. In place of the volunteer hours Berg was able to propose a written plan for a community garden in ANDY BERG Kenosha but with "a bit of twist.". Support from community The fundamental difference between GOE and other community gardens is that everything used to raise the crops and everything harvested is donated by and to the local community. Berg explains that everything from "seeds, trowels, shovels, gloves, and labor" are all volunteers and donations. GOE receives many of its volunteers throughout the year from United Way and during annual events such as "Make a Difference Day" at UWParkside. Berg is happy with the help that he receives, but is always searching for more volunteers, especially during the summer when volunteer numbers are lower. Plans for the future Berg and GOE recently purchased a small home on 38th avenue in Kenosha to serve as an office and give volunteers and See GARDEN page 2 INDEX Campus News 2-3 Police Blotter. 3 Culture 4-5 Editorial Desk 6 Staff & M ission 6 Opinion 6 Bearly News 7 Sports 8 CAMPUS NEWS New Master's degree program.

March 12 Summer Registration Begins | March 13 Active Minds presents the Realities of Eating Disorders Creativity-Community-Commerce / The Business of Jazz | 5p.m. | Bedford Concert Hall KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu On Feb. 21, Active Minds hosted an event called Realities of Eating Disorders at UW-Parkside. Professor of ethnic studies Heather Kind-Keppel, who has a master's degree in counseling, spoke at the event. The event brought to light how devastating an eating disorder can be and how prevalent they are. According to Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders (ANRED), "Without treatment up to 20 % of people with a serious eating disorder die." Active Minds club Active Minds is a club at UWParkside that was revived in the fall semester of 2017. The president is Robin Zelek. Active Minds is a mental health awareness group whose goal is to remove the stigma surrounding mental health. Zelek said, "We chose eating disorders because it's a topic that is important and does not get talked about enough." Active Minds has suicide prevention training on March 7 at 5 p.m. in the Walnut Room at UWParkside. Last semester they held events teaching about Schizophrenia and mental health resources. Zelek said, "We plan to schedule more events and continue to educate and bring awareness of a variety of mental health issues." They have meetings every Wednesday at 5 p.m. and more information is available on Campus Connect. What is an eating disorder? An eating disorder is a mental disorder, that is characterized by abnormal eating habits that negatively affect a person's mental and physical health. Eating disorders can affect both men and women. Eating disorders can be invisible. It is a disease that you must learn to manage for the rest of your life. While treatment is an important step it is not enough by itself. There can be triggers that brings back the behavior. Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, and Binge Eating Disorder are the different disorders that were discussed at the Active Minds event. People with Anorexia Nervosa have an obsessive fear of gaining weight, and they fiercely limit the quantity of food they eat. Bulimia Nervosa is a cycle of binge eating, which uses vomiting, excessive exercise, and laxatives to compensate. In Binge Eating Disorder, people will lose control over their food consumption, but they do not try to compensate for it like Bulimia Nervosa. Eating disorders are not really about the food, but more about control . Sometimes life is so chaotic that a person feels they just need control over something. It does not start out as a full-fledged disorder but can quickly turn in to one. Warning Signs There are a variety of warning signs to watch for. Things such as chronic dieting, constant weight fluctuations, and obsession with calories and fat content are things to watch out for. They may also switch between periods of fasting and overeating. They can become withdrawn, depressed, lethargic, and isolated. There also tends to be ritualistic eating patterns. The problem is that eating disorders can manifest in a myriad of ways in different people. If you are worried about someone, you need to ask them the hard questions. You need to pay attention and be an advocate for them. There is help, and they will need a solid support network to get this devastating condition under control.

New Master's degree in clinical mental health counselling Dr. Emmanuel Otu discusses details and employment opportunities offered by new master s program COURTESY OF KRYSTAL DODGE Heather Kind-Keppel(left) and Robin Zelek(right). JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers.uwp. edu UW-Parkside is known for its strong pre-health undergraduate program and other undergraduate programs in healthcare which draw hundreds of students to the school; however, UW-Parkside also offers numerous post-graduate degrees in the medical field. Joining the many other master's degrees offered by the College of Natural and Health Sciences, a master's degree in clinical mental health counselling will become available in fall of this year. The University of Wisconsin Board of Regents approved the clinical mental health counselling urogram last October, and it was officially announced on UW-Parkside's website on November 9. Dr. Emmanuel Otu, Founding Dean of the College of Natural and Health Sciences and Professor of Chemistry, spoke to the Ranger News about the new program. Even though the degree is not available until the fall, he said that there are already seven applicants. What to expect Classes within the program cover multicultural relationships, family issues, general health psychology, psychotherapy, general counselling, coping mechanisms, and much more. There is a graduation requirement of 60 credit-hours, meaning a student would have to take 20 courses that are worth three credit-hours apiece. They are a mix of online, hybrid, and traditional classes. The program as a whole has been specifically designed to address a change in licensure requirements for Licensed Professional Counselors in Wisconsin; the new requirements will be in effect as of this September. Dr. Otu said these courses "run through the whole area of what you could consider health—mental health, trauma." Referring to the recent tragic shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, he also said that some classes teach "how to help families deal with situations like that, because, for their lifetime, they have lost somebody." Students would be instructed on how to help patients cope with loss and other trauma over extended periods of time. Employment opportunities The potential future employment for graduates of the new program is widely varied; they could be employed by anyone who needs the services of a Licensed Professional Counselor. "They can work at mental health institutions and hospitals, inpatient for] outpatient mental health units. Usually, they'll work alongside psychiatrists," assured Otu. He continued, "the graduates would be the ones who help the patients go through the day-to-day ups and downs of their lives." Graduates of the program would also be equipped to work in schools and, potentially, to start their own businesses. Regarding the current supply of mental health counselors, Dr. Otu said, "there are not enough... they are needed almost everywhere fin Wisconsin]." In fact, the need for counselors is primarily around Kenosha, Madison, and Green Bay. Otu also pointed out the opportunities for mental health specialists in the more rural areas of the state, where mental health care is generally much harder to obtain. Consider a graduate degree Dr. Otu wanted students to know that their education does not have to end after they receive their bachelor's degree as getting a master's degree may help a student get the job they truly want. In the last six years, he has helped Parkside to add four new master's programs in the College of Natural and Health Sciences alone. A fifth master's program—healthcare administration—has been developed but is still pending the approval of the UW Board of Regents. Anyone who is interested in obtaining a master's degree in clinical health counselling from UW-Parkside can head to www.uwp.edu and look for "programs" under the "academics" tab to learn more. Garden: A community project board members a place to perform their duties during the winter months. Berg is searching for any help concerning the renovations at the new office, which includes siding, replacing windows, and general carpentry. Completing the office renovations will give GOE more space to operate in the months they are not planting or working with the gardens. GOE will also be hosting an event related to UW-Parkside's Big Read. Professor Peggy James will be speaking at GOE's new office of the Big Read's book "Station Eleven." The office is located on 4605 38th avenue, Kenosha and the event will be open to UWParkside students and local community members. To the garden Despite the great strides GOE has made since it conception, there is always more work to be done and more plants to be grown. Berg and his fellow members of GOE are continuously looking to do more in the community and grow their organization. What started out as an assignment for a class has turned into a project that offers relief and joy felt by both those receiving the food from the gardens and those growing it. February 28,2018 THE RANGER NEWS Briefs Pre ff code revision for KUSD EMILY ERGEN ergenO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On Tuesday, Feb. 13, the Kenosha Unified school district met for a vvork session regarding the High School's dress code. The dress code to be revisited was concerning what females are and aren't allowed to wear, such as yoga pants or leggings. The work session was not called to make and move forward with decisions revising the dress code, but to only make suggestions on what should change. Suggestions made were that leggings and yoga pants are to be allowed worn as pants, tanks be worn as tops and students be supplied proper clothing instead of being sent home when dress coded. Another work session will be scheduled for another time later this year. Government experiences another shutdown TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers.uwp. edu Government Experiences Another Shutdown One could be forgiven for not knowing that the federal government had shut down a second time this year, because it started and ended overnight. On Feb. 9,2018, the shutdown occurred from 12:01 AM to 5:30 AM. A bill had reached the Senate for voting on Thursday night that would keep the government funded, eliminate caps on its spending, and temporarily suspend the debt ceiling. Attempting to combat excessive spending, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) filibustered to stall the Vote. The government briefly shut down, but the Senate rules prevented the filibuster from continuing past 1:00 AM. Soon after the disagreement was set aside, a deal was reached. The funding bill passed, raising defense, non-defense, and disaster relief spending by over $300 billion. Outstanding Faculty Award presented to Parkside instructor Michelle Gabor NAOMI DORNFELD dornfOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside instructor Michelle Gabor, an associate business lecturer, was recognized by the University of Wisconsin MBA Consortium as an honorable recipient of the 2017 UW MBA Outstanding Faculty Award this February. Class nomination In Oct. 2017, students enrolled in the UW system's MBA programs were given an opportunity to nominate staff for the Outstanding Faculty Award. Michelle Gabor, an MBA program graduate, celebrated UW-Parkside alumna and incoming online instructor, was named a noteworthy candidate by students enrolled in her Accounting Foundations course that she taught in the fall semester. According to the feedback retrieved for consideration by the UW MBA Consortium, Gabor was noted for being remarkably responsive and deliberate in communication throughout the term. The online Consortium announcement referenced one student's opinion, saying that "Michelle provided excellent feedback on all the work we've done through throughout the course. Her feedback was in fact one of the most valuable part[s] in learning the subject." Another student said, "Professor Gabor is the most timely instructor I've had in terms of responding to questions and grading assignments." A strategy for success As identified through the feedback received from students, what sets her apart in an online classroom setting is her unusual accessibility and attentiveness to students and and their work. "I remember being a student," Gabor states. "When the assignment you receive on Wednesday is due Friday and you're not getting the help you need, the need will continue into the next week and so on." As many students can likely attest, when a building block of course content is not fully grasped or late work accumulates, it becomes difficult to succeed throughout the duration of the class. One strategy Gabor implemented through the term, to be available for assistance as needed, was a 24-hour response window; if a student posted a question, she would either respond within that time frame or make a comment that the concern would be addressed at a later time. The aim of instruction Although timely responses, thorough feedback and consistent communication are indicators that Michelle provides excellent service as an instructor, it is the conviction for the responsibility of educators that drives her to deliver excellence in the classroom. In a reflection of how to approach growth as an educator, Michelle says that "it's really about how the students learn. They're the ones paying the money. We owe it to them to do a good job." It is because of this attitude towards student service that qualifies her for such an award. COURTESY OF ABIGAYLE KATHERYNE LEFT: Professor Michelle Gabor receiving her award in the dean's office. RIGHT: UW M BA Outstanding Faculty Award No confidence: Students respond to President Ray Cross Surviving the apocalypse Tips, tricks from officer Bergendahl the merger process. In light of these comments, students and faculty view Cross's comments as a dismissal. The statute of shared governance clearly indicates that students should have a say in this process, and so far, there has been little indication that students have been and/or will be represented. The concern is not necessarily about the merger itself. Acting PSG President Keough Lemieux wrote in an email to PSG Senate members clarifying that the issue is not about whether the merger is good or otherwise but rather, "the issue is that we [were] not included in the discussion of this plan that will have a lasting impact on our state." This is not the first time that students have gone unrepresented. The Segregated University fees distribution process in 2015 and the Freedom of Expression mandate that passed last winter have brought big changes without proper student representation. The UW-Madison chapter of the American Association of University Professors(AAUP) \ ^ / ENCORE FRAP HOUR Hall Price Frsppuccinos! Wednesday and Fridays 9:30AM-10:30AM wrote a letter rebuking President Cross for his disregard of shared governance, which includes faculty and academic staff, is deeply concerning. "It does not bode well for the success of your policies that you consider shared governance to be nothing more than an impediment to progress, " the AAUP wrote. Cross responded to the backlash stating, "I think that there's confusion about who should be involved in what and how." "I would argue that shared governance has, in some ways, equated decisions at all levels on all issues, and that's not, in my mind, appropriate," Cross added. Lemieux adds in his email to the PSG senate, "If we [lose] shared governance this could mean a dark path for the UW in the future, one where student input on decisions that have the chance to alter our lives continues to be disregarded." As of press-time the result of the PSG resolution, held on Feb. 26, has not been determined. ERBERT & GERBERT'S Wyllie Market Mon-Thurs 730 AM- 7 PM Frkiay 730 AM-2 PM KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu On Feb. 16, Kurt Bergendahl, a UW-Parkside police officer, demonstrated some tips and tricks for basic self-defense, as part of the ongoing Big Read event series that focuses on "Station Eleven" by Emily St. James Mendel. The event also served as a preview for some of his future self-defense classes. Warning signs Bergendahl started the event by talking about personal space and how to know if someone is going to attack you. He says," What we have to do is think about what our normal distance is when we are talking to people." Generally, people prefer about three feet of personal space, and anything beyond that can make them uncomfortable or be a sign of possible attack. Most of the time, one can pick up on ques of an attack. Bergendahl mentions that some of these warning postures include direct eye contact, clenched fists or flared nostrils. A post-apocalyptic world In order to tie it back to the Big Read theme, Bergendahl gave some self-defense tips that are meant to be used in a post-apocalyptic world. Guns would not be available in that situation, so Bergendahl states that "bare minimum we need to keep ourselves safe." Students learned that in a postapocalyptic world, anything can become a weapon. Bergendahl showed how a pen can be "a real effective tool to the eye and the face" by demonstrating that it can be used similarly to a knife. Therefore, the use of knives was also including in the demonstration. He reviewed the 21 foot rule as a rule of thumb, which states that" within 21 feet, even if I shoot somebody... [in] the heart or in the head, at 21 feet they can still stab me." If a person were running, then a shot to the head or heart does not prevent them from stabbing someone because they could continue to be affected by inertia and gravity. The real world But in today's world, guns are an issue. Bergendahl and Ranger Bear showed students how to change the target of a shooter by throwing objects at the shooter to offer multiple targets and distract them. Another real world example was learning the difference between self defense and battery. Bergendahl states that "self-defense is [when] they did something, I reacted and did something back, and then 1 backed off. Battery is [ when] they did something, I reacted and defended myself, and now they are on the ground and I continue [to lash out]." Overall, survival skills are something that anyone can relate to and that can come in handy. John Aasen, a student that attended the event, said that it was useful because either "the worst does happen and it is an apocalypse or just regular self defense," He continued to say, "I think the skills we learned are very useful." The event was successful in relating to "Station Eleven" and the Big Read and it also provided relevant skills for the modern world.

UWPPD Emergency: 262-595-2911 Non-emergency: 262-595-2455 THE RANGER NE WS February 28,2018 4 | CULTURE "Station Eleven": Smooth and easy HOLLA.CE VILLARREAL Viila068@rangers. uwp. edu The Big Read has just begun and there are about two more weeks of activities left surrounding the book "Station Eleven". The plot (slight spoilers ahead) Our story starts out with Arthur, one of the main characters in the book, dying onstage of King Lear. Jeevan, a paparazzo turned EMT, runs onstage to try and save him, but his efforts seem to be in vain. Instead, while a cardiologist from the audience does CPR to try to revive Arthur, Jeevan goes to comfort Kirsten, a little girl who was acting as one of Lear's daughters, and the main protagonist of the book. After trying to revive Arthur, Jeevan receives a call from one of his friends, Hua, who works in a hospital. Hua tells him to leave town as quickly as he can, that there is an epidemic of epic proportions on the way. Jeevan decides to hole up in his brother's apartment building with mass amounts of food instead. Flash forward to the future: Twenty years after the outbreak, civilization is destroyed. Kirsten is travelling with a band of musicians and actors, the Travelling Symphony, and again acting in King Lear. Her troupe is there to preserve human culture, to not let people forget where they came from. They play Shakespeare because the people like it; they like to see "the best of humanity". Upon the caravans is a Star Trek quote: "Survival is insufficient". Kirsten keeps Station Eleven comics on her, gifts from Arthur when she was young. They were written by his first wife, Miranda, and she treasures them. Great readability and constant themes The first thing 1 noticed about Station Eleven was how it sucked you in. If you are worried about the time commitment to the book, do not be. The read is smooth and easy, captivating and compelling. The main characters, Kirsten, Miranda, and Arthur, are all multifaceted and interesting. Kirsten is the main protagonist of the story and she values culture of all kinds, values anything that preserves her humanity. Throughout the book there are stories of people clinging to culture in whatever form it takes. Before the collapse of civilization, Miranda throws herself into her work, creating Station Eleven (the comic) and Arthur wholeheartedly loves to act. After the collapse, Kirsten inherits Arthur's love for acting, playing in "high-brow" Shakespeare shows, while still collecting the "low-brow" media of comics, bringing Miranda and Arthur's interests together in her life. Kirsten's best friend, August, collects TV guides, despite the lack of TV. Clarke, Arthur's friend who escaped the collapse with Arthur's second wife and son, creates a "Museum of Civilization" inside an old airport to preserve the history of the world he once knew. Even by rejecting culture, the theme of culture still exists. Station Eleven takes place in the aftermath of a devastating pandemic. Tyler, Arthur's biological son, rejected the old world's culture and tried to create his own, becoming a lecherous prophet. But still, he practises a religion that goes back thousands of years and even obsesses over the Station Eleven comics in the same way that Kirsten does. Culture affects every aspect of life, regardless of what the person wants. Overall thoughts "Station Eleven" was definitely one of the best books 1 h ave read all year and, though the library is out of free copies, I hi ghly recommend going to find one at your local library or bookstore. Events „,;h hp on in a nn until March 14th! "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is unparalleled, a flawed masterpiece COURTESY OF WWW.KINGDOMCOMERPG.COM Warfare in "Kingdom Come: Deliverance." THOMAS GROBBEN grobbO01 ©rangers.uwp. edu Way back in 2011, a group of game developers in the Czech Republic founded a company called Warhorsc Studios. Little was known about the fledgling enterprise, except that they intended to develop an open-world roleplaying game that had its foundations in historical accuracy. For three years they languished in obscurity, until a Kickstarter campaign in 2014 brought them over 1.5 million dollars in funding. Their proposed game was to be called "Kingdom Come: Deliverance." After years of development and uncertainty, "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" was released on Feb. 13,2018. Although generally well-received, it has generated some polarizing reactions from fans and critics for its high level of difficulty, its uncompromising dedication to realism and the presence of an overwhelming number of technical issues. Trading fantasy for history "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" takes place in Bohemia in the early 15th century. You play as Henry, a blacksmith's son who becomes embroiled in a political conflict that threatens the very future of the Holy Roman Empire. After his village is burned to the ground, Henry is taken into the service of a lord who is willing to train him. This is not a fantastical tale of heroism; Henry is, and will forever be, a peasant with little to no status in the world. The game goes to great lengths to present its audience with an accurate, unadulterated picture of history. As such, Henry, being a peasant, is unable to read or write. If you want to decipher coded messages or read books, you are going to have to find a scribe willing to teach you how to read. Henry is also an untrained combatant, meaning that any of your initial attempts at battle will yield hilarious (and sometimes disastrous) results. Warhorse Studios have painstakingly developed a combat-system for "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" that closely resembles traditional Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA).This means that fights are slow and deliberate, and will easily end in your premature demise if you rush in unprepared. Players will also have to make sure that they keep Henry healthy. If you forget to eat, you will starve. If you leave wounds unattended, you will succumb to those wounds. This is a heavy dose of realism for a generation of gamers have grown accustomed to fantasy roleplaying games like "Skyrim" and "Dragon Age." Czech out these bugs "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is a game developed by a small team that shoots for the stars in terms of scope, and this is evident in the perfonnance of the game itself. There are many bugs, or errors, that occur throughout the game's vast land, and these go a long way towards diminishing the realism that is so intrinsic to the experience. Technical glitches will often distract players during tense story sequences, and some performance issues may even prevent the game from being played at all. On the bright side, Warhorse Studios has been very open in its commitment towards continued support for the game, meaning that these issues will most likely be addressed in the future. Despite its many problems, "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" has provided me with an experience, unparalleled in terms of historical realism, that 1 will not soon forget. Underneath the glitches, there is an expansive and beautiful game waiting to be played by those who are not faint of heart. "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" is a flawed masterpiece.

This Week in History: Murder in Stockholm BY RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers.uwp.edu One of the most influential leaders in European politics in the 1970s-80s was Prime Minister of Sweden, Olof Palme. The Social Democratic Party of Sweden had control when Palme came to power as Prime Minister and was responsible for stabilizing and improving Sweden by creating the most expansive social services in the world. Palme was an advocate of Sweden's moderate socialism and championed the wellbeing of his country. From challenging South Africa's Apartheid to tiying to resolve the tensions during the Iran-Iraq War, Palme can best be described as a European leader in ethics. Palme's life was as intriguing as his death was shocking. In what is often likened to a Swedish version of the J.F.K. assassination, Palme's life was cut short by a murder that to this day, remains unsolved. The specifics The morning of Feb. 28,1986, Olof Palme left for work, dismissing his bodyguards for the day for a bit of privacy. His work day began much like any other with calls and meetings till noon, when he had a single hour to himself before the official government luncheon at one that afternoon. No one knows what Palme did in his hour alone before the luncheon, but he showed up twenty minutes late to the function angry, upset, and refusing to tell anyone what was wrong. Only as the day went on did he seem to calm down. When Palme went home for the evening, his wife discussed going to go see a movie and maybe even meeting up with their son there, and decided to take the subway to the movie. Witnesses who saw Palme reported that when he got to the station he seemed nervous and moving in an odd manner. Palme arrived at the cinema with his wile, meeting his son and his son's girlfriend there. When the movie was finished, Palme decided he and his wife would walk home instead of taking the subway. Though it was late, windy, 19 degrees, over a mile walk, and his wife was tired, the two began to make their journey home. While Mr. and Mrs. Palme were walking home, a witness recalled seeing a tall and suspicious looking man in a dark coat walking across the street. He observed the man walking up to Palme and his wife before the assailant suddenly grabbed Palme by the shoulder and fired two shots into his back with a handgun. The stranger checked to make sure Palme was dead before running off. Who killed him? Police exhaustively searched for Palme's killer, but to no avail. After two years they took Christer Pettersson to court for the murder, but he was acquitted because they were unable to produce the murder weapon. The police had made supposed errors in procedures during his line up, and there was a lack of a clear motive. 1 here are dozens of conspiracy theories on Palme's murder but some of the most popular ones include that it was an assassination by a member of the Yugoslavian security service or that perhaps Victor Gunnarson, a Swedish extremist with a dislike for Palme, may have been the one to fire the fateful shots. Despite the numerous theories many still believe that it was Pettersson who killed Palme. Pettersson was a known criminal with a history of drug and alcohol abuse and had been once incarcerated for manslaughter. It is speculated that Pettersson may have mistook Palme for one of his ding dealers that frequented that particular path home, and that it was all a case of mistaken identity. Unfortunately, Pettersson died in 2004 and the case remains open to this day. February 28,2018 THE RANGER NEWS CULTURE | 5 "Sing Street": When impressing a crush goes too far Everyone wants to start a band at some point, but how many actually manage to pull it off? ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe037@rangers. uwp. edu The '80s was a strange time. A time of perms and neon clothing, but for our purposes today, we will focus on the really good music: Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, The Police, Bon Jovi, a-ha, Bowie, Queen and Madonna to just barely scratch the surface. "Sing Street", the 2016 romance/drama film out of Ireland, on the other hand, was not satisfied to just scratch the surface. The basics The film centers around a ragtag band of teens attending Synge Street Christian Brothers School in Dublin, led by Conor Lawlor. Conor's parents are constantly fighting, and when the family falls on hard times, it is Conor's education that suffers. Plucked from his reputable and expensive school, the fifteen year old was sent to Synge Street, where the strict Brother Baxter and a number of bullies make each school day a nightmare. We have all been there Having only made one friend in his first week, Conor's attention is drawn by a mysterious beauty across the street from his school. So what does our young Lawlor do? He tries to impress her, of course. How does he try to impress her ? By asking her to be in a music video for his band, obviously. So he has the girl for his band's music video, great. Now all he needs is a band! Sing Street is something of a departure from the other movies in UW-Parkside's foreign film series with its quick and witty dialog, sardonic characters, and up-beat soundtrack. If Aquarius, Things to Come, or The Salesman were not quite your cup of tea, give this one a try. Sing Street roused audiences with four awards for best original song, two for best use of music in a film, one for best actor in a supporting role, and best overlooked film of the year. Add a Golden Globe nomination for Best Motion Picture (musical or comedy) to that and a thirty eight other nominations, it could not be a terrible movie. Still not convinced? Jeez Director John Carney explores the relationships between siblings, parents, friends and crushes in this stellar coming of age story. Now, I am not afraid to admit that I am a little sick of comingof-age stories, with their profound teenagers and overused cliches, but Carney manages to put an original spin on the typical story that is so relatable. We have all wanted to impress our crushes, we have all had fights with our family, we have all wanted to be original, and at some point, we have all wanted to run away and abandon our lives. Sing Street encapsulates this in a one hour and forty five minute morsel that, at the very least, left me craving more. If you missed it at UW-Parkside, check it out on Netflix or your local library because, if you are anything like me, you will not regret it.

ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp.edu RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers.uwp.edu "The City" by Lori Nix is an eerily inspiring and thought-provoking art exhibition using models of abandoned and derelict locations. Nix's art depicts many everyday locations from shopping malls, laundromats, and salons to more unique ones such as a space center and a control room in an unknown context. Each model is meticulously crafted and seems so lifelike that at a glance one might not even know it is a model. It s i the details that make each scene so intriguing and yet so haunting. The photos depict only the manufactured and natural environment with no living subjects anywhere to be found which leaves the viewer wondering, "where did the people go?" A dark future This lack of humans is no coincidence and has an express purpose. Nix's exhibit challenges us to ask ourselves deeper questions about the future of life on Earth and the impact or our presence here. If this were truly the apocalypse, would we not see some sign of bodies, or have they already turned to dust with the passing of time? The images give us some idea of when they may have been taken but are vague enough in setting to leave us guessing. Is it tomorrow or twenty years from now? Nature seems to be taking these spaces back over, but ever so slowly. In "Library" we can see a tree growing directly from the linoleum tile floor. It has grown tall and is peeking through the roof, giving us a glimpse of a blue sky just beyond the building. In every photograph, we are left to wonder what is beyond the windows in the outdoors, each giving just a smal glance of what might be out there after we are long gone. Another world The viewer must question not only what is out beyond these partial views of singular rooms but what happened to make it this way. Whether humans have died off or simply up and departed the planet, leaving behind the ghost of the expansive civilization that once thrived there. In another photo entitled "Space Center" space suits of varying size are displayed in the center of a room scattered with futuristic artifacts and covered in moss. The suits and an alien purple sky outside the cracked windows evoke the thought that we may not even be on Earth anymore. This gives rise, once again, to the question of when these photos were taken. If the photo was indeed taken on another planet, how long could it have taken us to get there? If moss and other plants have grown and taken over the space, how long has it been abandoned? Above and beyond all else, "The City" tries to convey the message that the universe began in a certain state, and it will always return to that state, no matter how long it takes. This is the nature of the universe, and this is the hopeful note Nix surely wants to leave viewers with. jesstheskakid.com Underground Music That is Literally Underground Check out the Jess The Ska Kid Show bringing you Live Music, Band Interviews, and Stuff you should know. facebook ce-nVJrssthcskiikittf facebook Subscribe to: jesstheskakid YniiflffifS) Channel Hi 2310 S Green Bay Rd Racine, Wi www.petlandracine.com (262)598-1201 Follow: jesstheskakid jesstheskakid@gmail.com Google+ March 1 Lori Nix: The City I 8a.m.- 9p.m. I February 25-March 10 I Library March 2 Art in the UWP Library: Civilization & Extinction I 8a.m.-9p.m. IMarch 2 - April 30 I Library View original art from the UWP community relating to themes of civilization, culture, and extinction.

JOSEPH CANNING canni001@rangers.uwp.edu It is a leaden November day; the washed-out sun glints off the helmets of thousands of gathered soldiers who march shoulder-to-shoulder in synchronized blocks down a wide road. Crowds look on. Behind the soldiers there are columns of tanks, artillery, missiles, cars, and behind them, more soldiers. Above it all, fighter jets are screaming and belching fire. Now, imagine those troops are Americans. Imagine that street is Pennsylvania Avenue. Trump's parade That image may very well materialize in the coming monthsUnited States Secretary of Defense James Mattis confirmed on Wednesday, Feb. 7 during a White House press briefing that deliberation was underway at the Pentagon for the first American military parade since the Cold War. In fact, five different versions of the parade are under consideration. One version suggests timing the parade with the First World War's centennial. The request for such a parade came directly from U.S. President Donald Trump. The Washington Post reported that his words to defease staff were: "I want a parade like the one in France." The President was referring to the Bastille Day parade held in Paris each July. Wrong time But the prospect of a display of American military might is worrying given the current political climate. Tensioas between Russia and the United States bear upsetting resemblance to the Cold War. On the same day Mattis spoke to the press, Russian mercenaries attacked U.S. troops and their Syrian allies openly. Russia later reported that American bombers had engaged Russian troops. Conflicts between nations guised as support for foreign allies, so-called proxy wars, were once a common occurrence between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. The current war in Syria certainly fits that description. Infamous for his sophomoric and provocative language online, Trump repeatedly goaded North Korean Leader Kim Jong-Un last September by referring to him has "Little Rocket Man" and threatening that the dictatorship wouldn't "be around much longer!" Those comments were in response to that country's developing nuclear program and militaristic aggression. Tramp's infatuation with atomic roulette puts millions of lives at risk. So does this military parade; it answers aggression with more aggression, and only makes the U.S. look weaker for it. Historically, America has hearkened to the sensible advice of Theodore Roosevelt "speak softly and carry a big stick." A capricious show of force now would suggest to the world that America's stick is perhaps not as big as it used to be. Wrong place Such a military parade would also be contradictory to the values and national spirit that American soldiers and veterans have fought to protect; many veterans have already voiced their concerns. The U.S. may have been forged in an armed straggle, but it never carried the same military legacy as countries like France or Russia that still hold military parades. Both of those countries hold annual parades to commemorate pivotal wars in their nations' histories. Tramp's motivations for his parade remain unspoken. In addition to being disrespectful, provoking, and baffling, the parade would surely be expensive. A military source told NPR costs might be as high as $50 million, while the Washington Post quoted a more conservative figure of $10 to $30 million. Regardless, unjustifiable expenses and popular outcry seem sure to rain out Trump's parade in time. February 28,2018 Community Connections: V^teraiTcTmilitary: there are services available KRYSTAL DODGE thom008@rangers. uwp. edu Nationwide, there is an increasing number of veterans entering higher education. While these students vary from a myriad of backgrounds and situations they are considered nontraditional students. These students tend to be older, and are considered transfer students due to the college credits earned while in the military. According to the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), "One of the biggest frustrations voiced by veterans is the daunting and unfamiliar bureaucracy of higher education." Some Veterans have difficulty adjusting to civilian and academic life. They may also have to recover from physical and psychological injuries sustained during their time of service. According to Villanova University, veterans face five issues while returning to college. These issues are being overwhelmed, adjusting to a new rhythm, isolation, post-traumatic stress, and boredom. According to the AAC&U these issues may be the cause for veterans not using all benefits available to them. They state, "Recent data from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) show that only a small percentage of veterans use all of their federal education benefits." There are many assistance programs available to veterans and active-duty service members. Tuition assistance and housing cost assistance are available for full time students. There is also assistance available to their survivors or dependents. The benefits available to veterans are the GI Bill, Vocational Rehabilitation, Veterans Education Grant, and many more that are listed on the UW-ParkThe Conservative Ranger: "Let's be America, not Iceland" in regards to Down Syndrome JIMMY GRAHAM graha028@rangers. uwp. edu In Oct. of 2017, Frank Stephens, a man with Down Syndrome and a Down Syndrome rights advocate, spoke in front of the U.S. Congress. He began his speech by stating, "I am a man with Down Syndrome and my life is worth living." The main point he was advocating for was that people with Down Syndrome have as much of a right to life as everyone else and unborn babies should not be aborted just because they have this condition. He believes people with Down Syndrome should not be seen as a burden to their parents, but as a blessing for all the joy they bring to their families. Iceland and Down Syndrome Frank ends his speech by saying "Let's be America, not Iceland or Denmark. Let's pursue answers, not final solutions." What he means is that the U.S. should not have the same attitude towards people with Down Syndrome as Iceland and many of the other so called "progressive" Scandinavian countries. Many in Iceland brag how they have nearly "eradicated" Down Syndrome from the country. The way they have gone about it is by encouraging parents to abort unborn babies that are found to have Down Syndrome and other things that are considered to them as birth defects. Many Down Syndrome and Pro-Life advocates find this practice to be outrageous and equivalent to genocide. Ohio's legislation towards down syndrome abortions On the contrary to Iceland, Ohio has done the opposite in its attitude toward Down Syndrome abortions. The State has recently passed a piece of legislation that I consider to be the right step in protecting the rights of unborn infants with the condition. This bill essentially makes it illegal in the state of Ohio to abort any unborn baby that is diagnosed with Down Syndrome. Any doctor who does can face up to 18 months in prison. My thoughts on this issue As someone who is Pro-Life, I am in full agreement with Frank Stephens on this issue. People with Down Syndrome should not be aborted just because they have this condition; they should have just as much a right to live as everyone else. I have personally met a few people with Down Syndrome. The people I met with the condition were very happy, caring, had great senses of humor and were productive members of society. It seems to me that many people view Down Syndrome as a burden to live with; however, that is not true. People with this condition may at times need a little extra help, but that does not stop them from leading productive and fulfilling lives and bringing joy to the lives of their loved ones.

A Message from Nature: Bloodshed in environmentalism ADELANA AKINDES akindO01 @rangers. uwp. edu Something I don't hear about too often is the bloodshed involved in environmental activism occurring around the planet. Industry continues to engulf the world and is pushing its way into every untapped natural resource, every land that never belonged to them. There are people who are fighting back and speaking up about the environment. There are people who dedicate their lives to defend the land and to defend each other. Often they are the original people of the land, the indigenous people with cultures, roots and livelihoods tied directly to the environment in which they live. And increasingly so, those who speak out are targeted and killed in order to silence the message that they carry. Countries in Latin America and Southeast Asia have the highest rates for these murders, with Brazil and the Philippines being the most deadly countries for environmental activism. Most of the violence takes place over land rights disputes, involving huge industries-the main ones being mining, agribusiness, damming, logging and peaching-and the indigenous communities of the area. Members of these industries often partner with gangs and militia, and in this way, they are able to kill those in opposition without repercussions. Last year, a documented 197 people have been murdered due to their environmental protests, which averages four people a week. The numbers have been compiled by Global Witness, a group that has been keeping track of these specific types of murders since 2002. Since then, over 1,000 murders have been documented, with the true number believed to be far higher. Some of the more well-known victims include environmentalist nun Dorothy Stang and indigenous land rights environmentalist Bertha Caceres. Yet far more victims have gone unnamed and unreported, and usually none get justice in the end. I still remember when I was first exposed to this information. It was in my Peoples of Southeast Asia class, an anthropology course I took here at UW-Parkside two years ago. I learned about this beautiful ceremony that occurs in the northern forests of Thailand, where monks wrapped the robes that were typically reserved for them around the trunks of trees. These "ecology monks" saw the deforestation in Thailand, caused by logging activity, and developed this practice in response. By ordaining trees as if they were monks, as if the trees were being initiated into monkhood, the monks were making a statement about the spiritual nature of the forests. I wasn't prepared to hear that one of these monks was stabbed to death. This type of peaceful environmental activism was still seen as a threat. The fight for indigenous people's rights to their own land is occurring across the planet. Even in countries where this extreme violence is not taking place, the battle is still going on. Just look at Standing Rock in North Dakota, or No Back 40 in Wisconsin. It's important to be aware of what environmentalism looks like across the world and across cultures. People are risking their lives everyday, armed with nothing but their voices. Adelana Akindes is a senior majoring in environmental sciences and is the treasurer of PEC. side website. UW-Parkside also has a Veteran Services office to help students through this transition period. Their mission statement is "Our goal is to serve each of our military and veteran students and family members as you have served our country. Your service to our country means something at Parkside!" The office is located in D-189 Wyllie Hall, and can be contacted by calling (262) 595-2497. The university also provides the Military and Veteran Success Center. The center is located across from the . Cashier's Office in Wyllie D-192. The purpose of the center is to help military and veteran students to transition into the academic community. It is open Monday through Friday from 9 am. until 11 pm. It is a quiet place to study or to meet other military or veteran students. UW-Parkside has their own Veteran's Admissions Counselor, Sergio Correa. He is in the admissions office, can be reached at (262) 595-2300. He assists with the application and benefit process and prior learning credit. Kenosha County has a Division of Veteran services. The office is located at 8600 Sheridan Road in Kenosha, and is open Monday through Friday 8 am. to 5 pm. Their phone number is (262) 605-6690. They assist veterans and their families obtain local, state, and federal benefits. They specialize in assisting in the claim process from start to finish. There are many organizations on campus and in the community to assist veterans. It is important for each person to be their own advocate, and to make use of these opportunities. One of the biggest obstacles is not knowing what is available or where to go to get assistance.

During the first week of the semester, a lost freshman misunderstood their class schedule and wandered the tunnels beneath campus. Down in the darkness, they saw a horrific sight. A massive portal to an alternate dimension has opened beneath Wylie Hall. "It is probably just another project from the Chemistry Club," said Scruffy, a member of the custodial staff. "I would tiy not to stress about it." Bearly News is run by college students, so regardless of Scruffy's advice, we stressed about it. After our investigation of recent trends on campus, we have justifiable reasons to believe that the portal has been opened by Cthulhu, the ancient cosmic entity from Lovecraftian lore. Call of calculus Things began to appear amiss when the Necronomicon became the most popular text at the bookstore. Similarly, saggy pants and ugg boots have been replaced by the newest fashion trend of black cloaks with shadowy hoods. Administration even reports that thousands of requests have poured in for the school to add a certificate program for Eldritch magic. "The university takes pride in its acceptance of people from all ethnic backgrounds, so 1 wanted to keep an open mind," a campus recruiter commented, "However, I did notice an abnormally large spike in attendance from lizard people this semester. But hey, if it raises the graduation rate. I am perfectly okay with it." These strange clues around campus seem to verify the theory that Cthulhu has come to conquer UW-Parkside and add it to his subterranean kingdom. This opens the door for another question: what needs to be done about it? Grovelling 101 Hypothetically, exterminators could deal with the portal, but all of the qualified candidates have called the desolate Parkside tunnels "far too spooky" for them. Therefore, until the portal closes, all students are advised to appease any of Cthulhu's demands to avoid the consequences of his wrath. The RITA's costume department has been commissioned to add tentacles to Ranger Bear, and Straylight will now only be accepting submissions written in R'leyh Glyphs. From cowering in a broom closet, this has been the Bearly News. Praise Cthulhu, long may he reign.

Chancellor Ford throws military parade TRAVIS NORTHERN north004® rangers, uwp.edu Between making a controversial decision about forced dining plans and offering free tuition to lowincome students, the University of Wisconsin-Madison has made numerous national headlines over the last month. To draw attention away from its rival. UW-Parkside is throwing a sizable military parade next week. "I deem it perfectly necessary to demonstrate our school's raw might in such a public manner." UW-Parkside Chancellor Ford tweeted this morning. "1 will not be outdone by Rocket Woman Chancellor Blank." To afford the parade, the required expenses will likely include public funding, segregated fees, student donations, professor salaries, the school's computer system, the Den. and all of the curly fries that the Brickstone has left in stock. Without a doubt, it will be a costly endeavor. That being said, it if draws attention away from UW-Madison even for a minute, then no price is too high. — — — ^ ^— Your chance to win a $5 Erbert & Gerbert's gift card!

Questions unanswered "What do you mean, 'where did Ranger Bear come from'?" An alumnus asked, laughing over the phone, "The woods, of course!" "He lives in Petrifying Springs, right by campus!" His handler told the Bearly News, when we approached Ranger Bear at a press meeting. The bear himself would not take any questions.

Instructions from a marSee NO VICTIMS page 3 NAOMI DORNFELD dornfOO 1 @rangers.edu The city of Eastern Ghouta has been pounded by Syrian government bombs since the last week of February. With the death toll escalating, the United Nations Security Council has called for a ceasefire. Despite this motion, violence continues. A complicated conflict The Syrian Government has severely intensified military actions in efforts to recapture control of rebel-held Eastern Ghouta. Multiple factions of anti-government groups living in the now besieged city are undergoing the government's attempt to power there. While President Assad's administration denies targeting civilians, the bombing has resulted in at least 500 civilian casualties, many being women and children. In addition to the fatalities, hundreds of thousands are trapped in the besieged area with extremely limited medical resources and access to food and water. This recent surge of violence has received international attention, not only because of the humanitarian crisis, but because the nearing eight-year war in Syria involves many neighboring countries, the United States and Russia. The multiplicity of power-players in the conflict pose apparently unyielding obstacles to long term solutions, but the international community is addressing possible actions for the immediate crisis at hand. International intervention In response to this outbreak of violence and the ensuing humanitarian crisis, on Feb. 24, the United Nations Security Council unanimously agreed upon the calling for a 30-day ceasefire. Addressing the Security Council meeting, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, Jeffrey Feltman, remarked, "There are no words to express our frustration over the collective failure of the international community to end this war. But that frustration is nothing * compared to the suffering and destruction visited ceaselessly upon the Syrian people." In addition to the call for ceasefire, the council insisted that action follow with regular humanitarian aid convoys, medical evacuations and the immediate lifting of sieges. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres added, in statement, that "the resolution will be immediately implemented and sustained, particularly to ensure the immediate, safe, unimpeded and sustained delivery of humanitarian aid and services, the evacuation of the critically sick and wounded and the alleviation of the suffering of the Syrian people." A young Syrian's plea for help Amid the attacks in war-torn Eastern Ghouta, 15-year-old @muhammadnajem posted a plea for help from the American people on twitter.

Roochnik worked as a martial artist instructor in the Corps for over two years, using a form of martial arts developed by the Marine Corps known as MCMAP, or the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. Despite MCMAP's use in the military, Sam is able to translate these skills into basic self-defense lessons for members. Some of the moves taught in No Victims include falling safely, correct stance and basic hand/ palm strikes. Confidence through self defense One of the key lessons No Victims instills in its members is the confidence in being able to protect themselves. No Victims hopes that this confidence will translate into all aspects of member's lives, especially leading a safe and healthy lifestyle. Roochnik pointed out that No Victims "gives people the opportunity to practice basic skills that work and knowing that and being aware of your surroundings is really all we can do outside of formal training." Moreover, the club hopes that being aware of your surroundings and how to properly and safely protect yourself will leave a lasting positive impression on member's lives.

April 3 QPR institute provides suicide prevention training Active Minds sponsors training to help prevent suicide in our community KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu According to the American College Health Association, "Suicide is currently the second most common cause of death among college students aged 25-34 and third leading cause of death of 15-24-year-olds." On March 7, for the second consecutive semester, Active Minds hosted Suicide Prevention Training. Dr. Barbara Moser, MD from Prevent Suicide Greater Milwaukee (PSGM) led the event, and taught QPR (Question. Persuade. Refer. Institute) training. QPR training The method taught was QPR, and it was developed by Paul Quinnett, PHD. It implements the use of three steps. The first step is to speak to a person directly and empathetically and ask them questions about suicide. Second, you should to try to persuade the person to get help. The final step is to refer the person to the appropriate resource. This is not meant to be a form of treatment or counseling. The purpose is to offer hope to any distressed individual through positive action. The goal is to prevent tragedy by learning warning signs, clues, and suicidal tendencies of those in trouble. Participants were taught skills to act to prevent suicide, and how you can be an advocate." The training consisted of a lecture, sharing personal experiences, role play, and the distribution of informative material. After completing the training all participants received a certificate in QPR suicide prevention. Therapy Club is ambitious, informative TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers. uwp.edu What's the difference between physical therapy and occupational therapy? If you do not know the difference, then you can be forgiven. Before psychology major Kevin Stearns began to work on Parkside's newest club, he did not know either. Under the guidance of academic advisor Kim Armstrong, Stearns founded the Therapy Club, an educational organization completely focused on informing students about their academic pathways to working in the field of therapy. Informational meetings The club's second meeting took place on March 5th. At least a dozen students attended, and about half of them were new members, all of whom come from different backgrounds and majors. Throughout the meeting presentation, Stearns presented several essential pieces of advice and information for aspiring medical workers. "You will need a lot of volunteer hours," he explained, when referring to occupational therapy requirements. "The Therapy Club will offer opportunities and connections for this over the course of the semester." Stearns began the club to inform students about the various career paths within healthcare, beyond the traditional nurse and physician positions. Specializing in therapy, either occupational or physical, is an important role, needed to help elderly, injured, disabled, traumatized, and special needs patients. The club's future To help keep the student body informed about the importance of therapy, Therapy Club plans to host guest speakers at its meetings, offer networking opportunities, and deliver important information to students of all disciplines. If you or someone you know is interested in a career in therapy or psychology, or if you are simply interested in getting involved on campus with an educational club, then stop by the open-door meetings at Molinaro D128, held each Monday at noon. If you would like to support their cause with publicity, like their page on Facebook or check out their Campus Connect profile. RANGER RADIO Suicide's impact Dr. Moser shared that she has had to ask a lot of people if they were suicidal, but the hardest person to ask was her own son. One in ten people have experienced serious suicidal thoughts. Would you know how to talk to someone about being suicidal? That is the reason why training like QPR is available. Suicide is a preventable cause of death. 90 percent of people who survive a suicide attempt get the help they need and do not attempt it again. When discussed, most people had previously experienced some sort of incident related to suicide. This could include experiencing suicidal thoughts themselves, a friend or family member who committed or attempted suicide, and many other variations.

Even though suicide is a difficult subject, people remained positive and participated in the activities. There was a very good turn out. There was a lot of good information and resources. Robin Zelek , the President of Active Minds, said they will continue to sponsor this training at UW-Parkside. Just as people trained in CPR help save many lives each year, people trained in QPR can recognize the warning signs of a suicide crisis and question, persuade, and refer someone in crisis for help. The event was very well organized, and it addressed a very important subject. In the words of Phil Donahue, "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." COURTESY OF UW-PARKSIDE A floating wetland is see in Racine's Quarry Lake. The wetland—a collaborative project between Racine County and UW-Parkside—helps to address the lake's algae blooms and nitrates. Floating wetlands improve water quality in Quarry Lake DEREK FYE fyeOOO01 @rangers. uwp.edu Over the past half century, manmade treatment wetlands have been designed, built and tested around the world. The goal is to use a more environmentally friendly process to improve water quality. Joy Wolf, University of WisconsinParkside geography professor, her former student and recent UW-Parkside graduate Ben Haas, and their colleague Stephen Lyon are using floating wetlands to address algae blooms and nitrates in Mount Pleasant's Quarry Lake. Today, as a Racine County Parks manager, Haas is concerned with the condition of the bodies of water in his jurisdiction. Thanks to his experiences at UW-Parkside and his connections with talented professionals such as Wolf and Lyon, it took him little time to collaborate and come up with a potentially effective and cost-efficient solution. The project is titled "Water Quality Improvement Using Floating Wetland Islands." In a proposal presented to, and accepted by, the Racine County Board, Wolf, Lyon and Haas asserted that their solution would accomplish two objectives. The first being a surface treatment of Quarry Lake. The second is conducting an analysis of sediment to determine if sequestration is occurring for phosphorus and nitrogen. Quarry Lake Quarry Lake Park is a 40-acre park managed by the Racine County Parks Department on the northwest of Racine in the Village of Mount Pleasant. To address surface-water treatment, bulrushes are placed in stable floating structures. As the bulrush roots grow, they develop a microbial biofilm coating. For the floating wetland to be effective, it must have water flowing through its root system. Student involvement The proposal also includes ways in which UW-Parkside students will learn and benefit from the project. "Student effort will be an integral part of the process in that my soils class will learn to analyze samples taken from the lake for percent organic matter, nitrate phosphate content, total suspended solids and volatile solids," Wolf said. Under the direction of UW-Parkside faculty, students will be testing the water quality and soil parameters in Wolf's soils lab. Expectations "Quarry Lake usually has a series of algae blooms throughout the spring and summer," Wolf said. "The change in water quality before and after (floatingwetland) treatment will indicate the potential for this kind of system to improve the water quality in eutrophic lakes." The primary goal is to make the water safer and more pleasant for swimmers. "We want to improve the water for swimmers using an ecological method," Haas said. "We are going to clean the beach with a method developed by Lyon." Power washers will be used to suspend small particles in the water and then the particles will be pumped to the middle of the lake where they will fall to the bottom. Cost-effective What the floating wetlands may lack in aesthetics, Haas said, is more than offset by the environmentally safe and cost-effective nature of the project. With various departments and organizations expected to contribute to the design and implementation of the floating wetlands, the cost — which is already lower than a number of alternative methods — is expected to be minimal and an application that will be useful in many similar situations. March 14.2018 THE RANGER NEWS CAMPUS NEWS | 3 Briefs Annual Career Fair JOSEPH CANNING canniOO 7 @rangers, uwp. edu UW-Parkside held its annual career fair on Wednesday, February 28. The fair was held from the late morning to early afternoon in the Student Center Ballroom. The event was marketed primarily to students who are nearing graduation or who have already received an undergraduate degree. Like at UW-Parkside's internship fair, students were expected to come prepared with formal dress, resumes, and a willingness to socialize with potential employers. A total of 67 tables were set up by the companies and organizations attracted to the fair from the Kenosha and Racine area as well as some from other areas of Wisconsin. Major companies such as Abbott, a healthcare technology firm based in Illinois, and Baxter Credit Union, a large credit union with a presence in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, were present. Anyone who missed this year's career fair can attend the one to be held next spring semester. Though it is primarily for the benefit of students near graduation, sophomores and freshmen are welcome to attend to gain experience, discover opportunities, and network. NO VICTIMS: Open to the community Where and when No Victims meets every Friday from 12p.m.-lp.m. and Sunday from 6p.m.-7p.m. in the Sports and Activity Center combatives room. Meetings are open to all UW-Parkside students, faculty and staff as well as any interested community members from the Racine and Kenosha area. Roochnik explains the overall tone and goal of No Victims by saying, "we aren't masters but...if you sweep a guy down and that's all you know, you get a chance to run away. Its basic stuff but it's hard, fast, first." Roochnik and No Victims make it a priority to teach others safe ways of protecting themselves and being confident in those abilities. Speaker talks black mental health Phillip Roundtree challenges mental health stigmas KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs brought Phillip Roundtree to address black mental health issues. ' On Tuesday Feb. 27, students got the chance to listen to Phillip Roundtree talk about his experience with mental health and how it is current to today's society. This event called "Black Mental Health Matters" addresses an issue that many have attached a negative stigma to. Who is he? Roundtree is the founder of Quadefy, which is "a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing empowerment services to enhance the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual strength of an individual, team, and/or business." Roundtree travels the country giving speeches that try to help people cope with mental health issues in a positive way. He says, "you will rarely hear me say suffering because words have power, words impact stigma. So no 1 am not suffering, I am living with mental wellness issues." Roundtree's struggles of getting a masters degree in social work, an MS in Exercise science, being a Pro Natural Bodybuilder and Powerlifting Competitor, as well as his journey dealing with anxiety and depression has made him want to help other people who struggle with expressing and recognizing mental health issues. Roundtree tries to "give a face, voice, and hope to those who've yet to recognize their emotional and cognitive strength." "We are used to seeing people who are dealing with psychosis in the media. We do not see people like me, a black man who is 35 years old." Society's impact Society has put mental health and wellness in a dismissive state. Roundtree wore a shirt that said "this is what depression looks like" which sparked the conversation of what mental wellness looks like in society and the media. He says, "We are used to seeing people who are dealing with psychosis in the media. We do not see people like me, a black man who is 35 years old." Another thing that we see in society is that in the black community, people look up to musicians as role models and hip hop music as. a guide for living life. Roundtree said that "being a product of the 90's" led to him coping with the death of his brother by getting a tattoo because this is what he saw from rap groups like Bone Thugs and Harmony. As college students, having someone that you can relate to is a vital key to success. Zachary Atkins, a student here, said "college students can relate to (Roundtree] because he expressed the importance of being aware that any one around us could be going through a troubling time. I think listening to someone be comfortable in their own skin and openly talk about living with a mental illness can make someone more comfortable to get treatment or accept their own mental wellness state." Black Mental Health Matters showed students that it is okay to have mental wellness issues and that there is nothing wrong with seeking help from others.

Even before the show, the cast and crew put on a great performance. With the house lights still up and while people were still finding their seats, the band, led by Ben Briselden with Moises Diaz and Gerson Diaz, performed old tunes from the 60's (the decade in which the play takes place). Two cast members sat behind old-fashioned television cameras, "filming" the band's performance and giving the play a behind-thescenes feeling. The crew moved set pieces around without ever drawing the curtains, adding to that effect. The attention to detail was quite stunning. Even the 7-Up bottle one of the TV camera operators was drinking from was vintage. It really felt like you were sitting in the live studio audience of a sitcom. First act left the audience hungry for more There was a brief introduction to the convoluted plot, where Pauline (Lauren Stoner) and Alan (Matt Rangel) were to be married, but Pauline's father (Cody Summers) had promised her to a man who was now dead, but he had risen from the dead to claim his bride. The man turned out to be a woman in disguise, the dead man's sister Rachel (Rayne Kleinofen), who stole her brother's identity. After all that, the main character Francis COURTESY OF UW-PARKSIDE The cast of "One Man, Two Guvnors" engaged the audience and each other with their performance. Henshall (Alexander Griffin) took the stage. Motivated primarily by hunger in the first act, Henshall was a sympathetic, yet misguided man who had taken two jobs serving both Rachel and her fiance Stanley (Ryan Zierk), the man who had killed her brother. Alexander Griffin pulled off a stunning performance, masterfully delivering every joke and witty one-liner. The audience participation, planted or not, was spectacular, and the scene at the restaurant in particular—one of those fun moments where everything seems to be coming to a head. from the bumbling elderly waiter Alfie (Cole Conrad), to Henshall rushing around to appease his governors, to the governor's coming out (never at the same time, conveniently) to ask where their food was, to Gareth (Skyler Albaugh) the waiter, along with an audience member pulled on stage for a surprisingly long amount of time—was a splashing success. The second act did not disappoint With Henshall's initial motivation solved, he moves on to a new goal: Dolly (Hannah Anderson). Dolly's performance as a 60'sbrand feminist was awe-inspiring, and her speech about a world she envisioned for the future left the audience in a stunned silence, hanging on her every word. Pauline and Alan's plotline had a good message there too. When Pauline was ready to kill herself for love, in front of Alan without him even lifting a finger to stop her, Dolly intervened to tell her he wasn't worth it, especially if he was about to let her die. Throughout the rest of the play, he had to earn her love back. In the end, it was Henshall's lr>ftv ooali! thaf Hiri hi m in. While he was planning on taking Dolly on vacation, he gave himself away to his governors and to the rest of the cast; however, in the end all was forgiven and each character got what they truly wanted. My take on the play Personally, I thought the play was a stunning success. Of course, Griffin's performance was amazing, but Robbie Saw (who played Lloyd), Cole Conrad and Hannah Anderson are definitely actors to look out for. Though they had smaller, supporting roles, I found myself enjoying every moment that they were onstage. The costume and stage design was amazing, everything was almost a caricature of the 1960's, though that feeling was balanced by the TV-production frame of the story. Misti Bradford (costume design), Kyle Racas (charge artist) and Zach Young (scenic design) did an amazing job, though we'd expect no less from our award winning design crew. During scene changes the band from the beginning would play songs, often joined by a member of the cast. Each song was well done and entertaining, but the best was when the three main actresses Hannah Anderson, Lauren Stoner and Rayne Klienofen came out to sing a wonderful song about how to help your man avoid getting caught for murder. Overall, the play was great. The theater department has pulled off a stunning success as usual. The Ranger News will be sure to check out "Eurydice," playing later this semester. ing. and money. A graphic of the game "Bayonetta." DESHAWN BRUCE bruce016@rangers.uwp. edu VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING Bayonetta is an action game that was initially released by Sega in 2009. Nine years later, in a port of both the first game and its sequel to the Nintendo Switch, the mature franchise still amazes audiences with its violent gameplay and charismatic protagonist. Familiar gameplay The Switch port of Bayonetta has the same content as the Wii U version, which.is both exciting and disappointing. Mechanically, everything is kept, but nothing is gained. The gameplay and controls are exactly the same as they were in the original. However, touch controls can only be used when playing in handheld mode. Bayonetta still has multiple weapons to choose from. Her standard guns, Scarborough Fair, are available at the start of the first chapter. Her other weapons can be unlocked by defeating bosses and finding hidden chests throughout the level. Additional weapons include shotguns, a whip, a sword, and even ice skates. Some might dislike the games' M-rated brutality, but the combat is undeniably creative. Enemies and bosses are difficult and require more strategy than simply button-mashing. Some enemies can only be defeated by activating Witch Time-a slow-motion mechanic— which is activated by precisely dodging an enemy's attack. Other enemies can only receive damage with firearms. In this way, Bayonetta is interesting, since it's atypical for a hackand-slash game to have the player practice patience instead of attackWeaknesses of a remaster The overall gameplay of Bayonetta is fantastic, but the graphics could have been better. The game looks fine playing in the Switch's handheld mode, but it does have a slight decrease in visual quality while playing in docked mode. There is no new content introduced in the Switch port of Bayonetta. For whimsical entertainment, several Nintendo-themed costumes are unlocked and available to use before the start of the first chapter. Bayonetta can take on the appearances of iconic characters such as Princess Peach, Daisy, Samus, and Link. It is a small nod to the fans, but unfortunately, more content like this could have been included. Flawed but fun "Besides the Nintendo costumes, the Bayonetta port has no new content. While this was my first time playing through the game, and it was an enjoyable experience, I wish the new edition stepped beyond the base game. This problem likely stems from the game's target market-introducing new fans to the franchise. If you originally bought Bayonetta on the Wii U, there is no reason to buy this port. However, if you have never experienced the series, I would strongly recommend adding it to your collection. It is easy to see why the game is so beloved; Bayonetta is fantastic. The environment is detailed and unique. The mechanics of combat are intense and challenging. To top it off, Bayonetta herself is a fun and confident character that gives the game a distinct identity. If you have a Switch and have never played Bayonetta, it is well worth the time Score 8/10 NextLevel Gaming Online (NLGO) is an online magazine and podcast, centered on the gaming industry.

Though it has all the hallmarks of a successful thrillride, the film also has intense drawbacks that only seasoned film connoisseurs, do not seem to mind. Stunning settings and stirring music are overpowered by flowery dialog and so few likable characters that it should be criminal. The film revolves around two persons in particular. The first being the poet and communist politician, Pablo Neruda, who is forced to go on the run when President Gabriel Gonzalez Videla outlaws communism in Chile. Neruda is a wholly unpleasant man, who drinks too much and clearly believes himself to be not unlike a god. The second person is a fictional police detective, Oscar Peluchonneau, that tirelessly chases after Neruda when he is forced to go into hiding. Peluchonneau would be a satisfactory character, where we to not hear his self-aggrandizing inner monologue throughout the duration of the film. Neither character is particularly likable, so by the time I got to the film's "epic" conclusion (complete with tense orchestral backing and the slowest foot chase to ever take place in fact or fiction), I was begging for the sweet, sweet release of end credits. To be fair, the relationship between Peluchonneau and Neruda is one of Cat and mouse, and it is difficult to discern which is which at various points in the film. The two taunt and toy with each other in a manner reminiscent of Sherlock and Moriarty, even if Neruda seems to be ahead for the majority of the film. Well, at least someone likes it "Neruda" has received a fair amount of critical acclaim, with a seven out of ten on IMDb, and a ninety four percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The film also won ten of its forty nominations, most of which were for either Best Foreign Film, Best Art Director, or Best Cinematography. All valid nominations as it was a rather beautiful movie and the directing was (objectively) good, PETIAND PETS MAKE LIRE PETTI :RT A screenshot from the film "Neruda." however I do not know if I would say it was the best foreign film of 2016. When compared to the other films in UW-Parkside's foreign film series this year, it falls somewhat flat for me, and I would rank it third out of the four films 1 have viewed from the series. The technical merit and beauty, simply could not outweigh the pretension and unnecessary nudity of the film as a whole. Oh, did I not mention the nudity? Do not get me started. Just do not. Maybe I don't get it All things thoroughly considCOURTESY OF FANDAGO.COM ered, I suppose I cannot actually say that 1 hated the film, but 1 must be missing something. I acknowledge my seemingly visceral reaction, and perhaps that has to do with my understanding of the larger themes, and if I were to watch it later in life, I would enjoy it. Perhaps if I were a fan of Pablo Neruda's writing, the plot would interest me. However, 1 am not, and it does not. Only time will tell. If you missed Parkside's run, and I have not scared you off, the film is available on Netflix. Tell me why 1 am wrong. This Week in History: The Spanish Influenza The pandemic that defined a century RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp.edu Flu shots—every year we are told to get them. The flu kills, they say. The flu is dangerous, they cry. Many Americans pass up the flu shot every year, believing it to be less of a big deal than the rest of the world makes it out to be. These fears that many express about the flu are not without their warrants. Many believe in our so-called modem world filled with "accessible" medicine the flu is only the killer of the old, the infirmed, children, and the impoverished. Though our technology and ways of treating the flu have indeed advanced it is still a deadly killer, and those who lived through the Spanish Influenza of 1918 know it all too well. This week is the anniversary of the first outbreak of Spanish Influenza in the United States. Patient Zero On Mar. 4,1918 the symptoms of the flu were first recorded on an army base called Fort Riley. Fort Riley was being used to train hundreds of soldiers. When a company cook became ill the flu spread like wildfire. Although soldiers were not the only ones affected by the outbreak of the flu in the United States, they were the perfect victim for it. Soldiers trained strenuously for long hours and their pQsitions were physically demanding. Soldiers were often overworked and malnourished and their immune systems suffered as a result. They were the perfect victim, and the close-quarter nature of their living arrangements guaranteed the rapid spread of the Spanish flu. Devastating truth The Spanish Influenza killed more people than World War 1. It was seen globally and new evidence suggests that it may have been as widespread as China. The American people were devastated by this virus. The mortality rate was so high and the symptoms spread so rapidly that communities were unable to keep up with their ill. From crowded flu wards to mass graves the flu made everyday life hell. Patients reported respiratory problems and painful breathing and often died in a matter of days. The flu killed far more than the old and unwell. It affected previously healthy adults just as badly as it did with weaker patients. Though it killed less of the global population percentage wise, the disease was more devastating than the Black Death was in terms of casualties. It gave way to tireless research and the vaccines of today, that we often write-off as unnecessary. Though the Spanish Influenza of 1918 was a tragedy it should serve as a reminder to all of us that history is worth remembering. The next time you consider skipping a flu shot remember why we have them and consider the sacrifices of countless innocent victims of the 1918 pandemic.

Shots fired: The debate on gun control It is not too soon—let's talk about guns RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Gun control— it means many different things to many different people, but let us have some real talk here. Gun control means controlling guns. We as Americans have options for how we would like to pursue the issue. There is no one-size-fits-all solution, and in our polarized country, we often seem to forget the complexity of issues and boil it down to being on one side or the other- ban guns or no regulation. It is not. The following is a series of four common arguments against gun control, and responses to them. 1. "Our country was founded on an uprising against the government. Our guns are meant to protect us from the government and the second amendment says so." Well, that is a lot to unpack from the get-go. Our country was indeed founded on an uprising, but there are some fundamental misconceptions there that many people fail to recognize. The American colonies wanted fundamental rights that were secured to British citizens, to have representation in parliament and a say in how the colonies were run. It was only after Britain refused to grant Americans those rights after many attempts at diplomacy did war break out. War was not our first option. The second amendment reads, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." If you believe that gives Americans the right to bear arms constitutionally, you would be correct. But there is that other part-a well regulated militia. Individual gun owners who may or may. not have proper training and are certainly not well regulated do not make a citizen's army. COURTESY OF ELVERT BARNES VIA FLICKR MARCH ON WASHINGTON FOR GUN CONTROL / Assemblance at the US Capitol Reflecting Pool on the National Mall just off 3rd Street in Washington DC on Saturday morning, 26 January 2013. If that alone was not enough, since the constitution there have been many technological advances that make the right to own guns to protect yourself from the government completely obsolete. Guns will not protect you from the SWAT team, an army or nukes. 2. "Guns protect us from bad guys. Anyways, criminals will find a way to get guns no matter what." Theoretically, guns can be used for protection and sometimes are. Whether or not this is actually how guns are used is another story. Armed men and women have stopped criminals with guns before, but it is far more often that "good guys with guns" add more tension to armed situations and are more likely to misfire or make the situation worse. Human error isjustafactoflife. Statistics have shown that the "good guy with a gun" protecting the innocent is little more than an occasional heroic story with little basis in everyday life. In homes with guns, people are three times more likely to be killed than unarmed homes according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Also, the more people that own guns makes the number of guns for criminals to access increase exponentially. The NRA opposes regulations on stricter gun storage. Just because people find ways around laws and regulations does not mean we should sit idly by and let it happen. Laws are what keep this country a civilized democracy. If we have no faith in laws to help protect our citizens we would not have any laws or regulations at all. 3. "Background checks are too invasive." If you are a responsible gun owner you should have nothing to hide in a background check. Background checks are standard procedure for nearly every job and your personal information is The Conservative Ranger: The Benefits of the GOP Tax Plan Community Connections: JIMMY GRAHAM graha028@rangers. uwp. edu In late December of 2017 the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, also known as the GOP Tax Plan, was signed into law. This policy so far has helped put more money in the pockets of hard working Americans. It also has helped businesses in raising wages and expanding. How individuals are affected Under this new tax plan, individuals are taxed less on their wages. This plan lowers taxes roughly 2%-3% for most tax brackets. For instance, a married couple bringing in $77,400-$ 165,000 a year in 2017's tax rate would be 25%. Under the new tax policy that rate is lowered to 22%. A 2%-3% decrease in income taxes may not seem like a huge change, but that amount that is saved in wages in just one year adds up to a significant amount of money. For Example, a family making $80,000 a year will save $2,400 a year. This amount that is saved can mean a lot to hard working Americans. Many can use this extra money toward things such as rent, utility bills, or even toward their children's education. How businesses are affected Prior to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the corporate tax rate for most businesses was at roughly 35%. Currently under this new plan it has been lowered to 21%. Due to this large cut to many large companies have used this as an opportunity to give bonuses to their employees. Companies such as AT&T, AAON, and American Airline have awarded many of their employees with $1,000 bonuses. Many companies have also used this tax cut to raise wages for their employees. One instance of this is Associated Bank raising its base wage from $10 to $15 per hour. On top of raising wages and giving bonuses many are also using this tax break to expand their businesses. Boeing and Comcast for example are using $100 millions of its tax break to expand their infrastructure and facilities. How to make these cuts permanent Unfortunately, because this bill was passed through congress with only a slim margin, it can only be in effect until 2025. In order for this to be permanent congress would have to get a wider majority of votes. The only way for there to be a wider majority would be for congress to put aside partisan differences and give this bill bipartisan support. Jimmy Graham is a sophomore majoring in business management and is political director of College Republicans. Take charge of your sexual health KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers.uwp. edu According to the American Sexual Health Association (ASHA), "One in two sexually active persons will contract a STI by the age of 25." That is a very intimidating statistic, but it is something that can be improved with knowledge. There are resources available on campus and in the community to help you take charge of your sexual health. If you are going to be sexually active, you should be responsible. Many college students are transitioning from being a juvenile to an adult. In that stage, a lot of exploration happens, and there are numerous new things to try. Unfortunately, they might not have the knowledge needed to go with these new experiences. The other problem is not having resources available, or not knowing about available resources. UW-Parkside has a Student Health and Counseling Center (SHCC).The SHCC is located on campus behind Tallent hall, and the number is 262-595- 2366. It is open Mondays and Thursdays from 8 a.m. until 6:30 p m. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays it is open from 8 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. The SHCC provides many services to help you prevent and treat Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs), as well as reproductive health and planning. Pregnancy tests, HIV test, contraceptive supplies, and counseling for reproductive health concerns are available to students. You can receive the vaccination for Hepatitis B and Human Papillomavirus (HPV). STI testing, pelvic examinations, STI treatment, and emergency contraceptive - Plan B and Ella are also available in the center. Planned Parenthood is another resource that is available that is available in the community. They provide many services, and some of them can also be free based on your income. The number is 262-654-0491, and the address is 3601 Roosevelt Road in Kenosha. They are open Mondays from 11 am. until 7 pjn. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays their hours are from 9 am. until 5 pan. They are closed Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They provide women and men's healthcare. Birth control, pregnancy testing and pregnancy services are available. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) testing is another important service available. They also provide testing, treatment and vaccinations for STIs. They have appointments as well as walk ins for things such as emergency contraceptives. Take charge of your sexual health and be an advocate for yourself. You are the only one that can protect you. Take advantage of the resources available to you and become knowledgeable. There are some diseases that are sexually transmitted, and they have no cure. In the words of Benjamin Franklin, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." now less private than it ever has been. A simple lookup on WCCA in Wisconsin will turn up records of just about anyone who's broken the law, whether it was a minor slip up or a felony. Proposing background checks does not mean that, across the board, anyone who has had a legal transgression will be banned from purchasing a firearm but it does allow us to have a better system to identify higher risk individuals and prevent possible gun violence. 4. "What about hobbies like hunting or collecting?" Many hobbies have laws. Some people like to make bone-jewelry, but did you know that owning human remains can be illegal. Some people collect cars and have to get special license plates and follow regulations about what conditions they can and cannot take it out in. People love animals, but over a certain number of pets you have to have a special license and certain animals are illegal to own. Proposing that certain types of guns be more restricted or have more regulated ways of obtaining them does not inhibit hobbyists. A gun should have at least as much regulation as owning cars and driving them in the United States. Gun control is about protecting people. Individual rights are important in America, but the selfishness or short-sightedness of certain individuals should not be allowed to override the safety of millions. America is the only place mass shootings like this occur. America is the only place that gun violence on this scale in a so-called world power happen. Take a stance and look for a solution and help prevent the nearly % deaths a day (CDC, 2016) that occur due to inadequate gun control in this country.

Tips for surviving the annual goose invasion COURTESY OF DEAD STUDENT (MAY SHE REST IN PEACE) Photo recovered from a student's Snapchat—the last Snapchat she ever sent. Beware. At. Parkside. TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers. uwp. edu It is a dark time for UW-Parkside students. After months of gathering their strength, the geese are poised to return to campus. With their arrival, they bring death, pestilence, and a screech loud enough to shake the foundations of this very building. Last year, random goose attacks nearly brought the student population to extinction. Not only did they practice their regular strategies of pack hunts and sidewalk ambushes, but they sought after specific targets, taking down any students that dared to challenge them. The last Bearly News reporter to write a piece about goose attacks has yet to be found, and is therefore presumed dead. To avoid suffering the same fate, follow these instructions and join the global goose resistance (GGR). Technique one Is something giving you the feeling that you are being watched? Do you spot a trail of droppings across the pavement? Are a pair of wings blotting out the sun? If this describes your walk across campus at any point between February and November, you could be a potential victim of a goose attack. If you want to escape with life and limb, practice the following techniques. Practice the safe walk. The safe walk, in this scenario, means having a freshman beside you at all times. At the first sign of danger, trip the freshman, or use them as a meat shield as you make your escape. You do not have to outrun an angry goose; you only have to outrun your fellow student. Technique two In instances of traversing the longer walkways on campus-unaccompanied by an aforementioned expendable-the GGR recommends carrying the ultimate precaution on your person at all times: event handbills. Countless hours of study have demonstrated that nothing is a more effective repellent than trying to offer people handbills. If a goose approaches you, draw your stack of handbills for the next big event. Like students on the skybridge. the avian attackers should scurry in fear. Inviting innovation Above all, it is important to remember that anyone can survive the invasion with a little ingenuity. One student the Bearly News interviewed has decided to lay low by donning a hyper-realistic goose disguise. "If you can't beat them, join them." he said, before honking erratically and charging our reporter. One member of UWP Athletics even found a way to profit from the onslaught. "Nothing motivates me to run in the morning like a warmongering waterfowl nipping at my heels," she stated proudly. Students like these give the GGR hope for a better tomorrow. As the student population slowly adjusts to the return of the Canadian devils, they will learn to endure. While the countless casualties from past springs will never be forgotten, the UW-Parkside community can learn to move forward. By following the steps above, you too may survive the annual goose invasion. The days may be dark, but the dawn will come. Until then, we can only dream of the day that the geese will fly south once more, and go bother some students in Arkansas instead. Ranger Bear s secret child The hunt for truth: Is Ranger Bear really a solitary creature? HOLLACE VILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu Late at night, T. Ruxpin and this Bearly News reporter poured over the documents from Ranger Bear's past. We had to look before the sun rose and we were kicked out of the Archives by the campus security. The files we were viewing were top secret, for the eyes of only the Head Archivist and the Dean. "How do you have access to this?" Bearly News had asked the shaky archives assistant who logged into the computer for us. "We can only afford one password." She'd replied, before unlocking a file cabinet, "And we only got the finding for one set of keys." New evidence In the wee hours of the morning, this reporter found some startling evidence. TWO soulless looking Ranger Bears, and a small bear cub beside them. UW-Parkside's logo was emblazoned across their jerseys, showing that this must have been taken after Ranger Bear came to campus. "Junior Bear." T. Ruxpin read from the file card, "I thought... I thought Ranger Bear was the only one of his kind." Who is Junior Bear? After some more digging and another late night in the archives, we had our answer. There were multiple photographs.of two Ranger Bears, sometimes accompanied by Junior Bear, throughout the old files. "They must have been a family." The archivist murmured, looking down at the photographs with something akin to wonder. "But 1 always thought that Ranger Bear was male." After assuring the archivist that Ranger Bear was truly a genderless being and that he most likely reproduced by asexual budding, as all evidence from his physical examinations leads us to believe that he cannot truly be alive, we looked further into Junior Bear. Where did he go? The archive files are not in chronological order, all information regarding Ranger Bear seemed to be stuffed away in an effort to hide it and hinder investigations, so we have no way of knowing what year the photographs were taken. "I don't know why Ranger Bear changed his appearance," the archives assistant told us, when asked. "I assumed it w^s because he was keeping up with the latest trends, but his teeth seem... sharper now. Maybe he's been evolving." T. Ruxpin has agreed to look into the numerous studies done in the 1970's on Ranger Bear's physical form, and the question of evolution. Next week we may have some answers. A haunting family portrait.

No. 1 Becker defeated No. 2 Nolan Kistler of California Baptist in an 8-4 decision in the championship match while battling a bloody nose throughout the final match. Becker closed out his career as a Ranger with a perfect 89-0 record. Becker, who's brothers Craig Becker and Brad Becker also won national championships at Parkside, joined a long list of national champions in Ranger history. Bill West, who won national titles in 1974 & 1975, is the other Ranger with multiple national championships. As a team, the Rangers would have finished with 74 points, which would have been good for third place behind St. Cloud State (92.5) and Notre Dame (84). Due to conference sanctions, Parkside is ineligible to place in the team standings. Third place would have been the best place in Parkside history, surpassing the fifth place finish in 2010. Along with Becker, four other wrestlers secured All-American honors over the weekend. Frank COURTESY OF UW-PARKSIDE ATHLETICS Nick Becker's moment of victory at the NCAA Division II Wrestling Championship Yattoni IV suffered an early loss on Saturday, but the senior battled back and earned two straight wins en route to a third place finish. He defeated Upper Iowa's Damian Penichet by major decision in the third place match. Senior Matt Halverson also battled back from an early loss on Saturday to finish in third place after entering the tournament as the No. 11 ranked wrestler at 285. After the loss, Halverson pinned Mitchell Eull of Minot State in just 1:33 before pinning Cody Johnson of CSU-Pueblo in the third place match. Airk Furseth finished in sixth place after going 2-0 on Friday. The sophomore suffered three straight losses on Saturday but ended his season with an incredible 32-8 record and an NCAA Regional Championship. James Lehman went 0-2 on the day but finished in eighth place to garner Ail-American honors. The redshirt junior finished the season 30-11 and was the only Ranger that was unranked in his weight class coming into nationals. Parkside Athletics announces the creation of the Ranger SOMERS, Wis.-The University of Wisconsin-Parkside is pleased to announce the creation of the Ranger Impact Fund, Director of Athletics Andrew Gavin announced on Tuesday. The Ranger Impact Fund will serve as the primary fundraising arm for the athletics department, providing alumni, donors, and fans an opportunity to support Parkside Athletics. "The Ranger Impact Fund and its success are critical to Parkside Athletics as we strive to support the needs of our student-athletes, both in and out of competition," Gavin said. "As we embark on a new era, the generosity of the members of the Ranger Impact Fund will enable us to provide an enhanced student-athlete experience and continue to compete at a high level in our conference as well as regionally and nationally." Supporters of the Ranger Impact Fund will positively and profoundly impact our student-athletes and their experiences at Parkside. The success of the Ranger Impact Fund fosters a nationally-competitive NCAA Division II athletics program, which is vitally important to UW-Parkside through student recruitment and success and enhanced visibility and reputation in Impact Fund the community, state and region. In giving to the Ranger Impact Fund, donors can give to the general athletics fund, the scholarship fund, or 100 percent of a gift can be designated to a specific sport program. "It is important that our alumni and donors have an opportunity to support the programs and initiatives that best align with their interests and passions," Gavin said. "We thank our supporters for investing in this initiative and their generosity and dedication to the Rangers." For more info on the Ranger Impact Fund, please visit HERE. To donate online to the Ranger Impact Fund, click here. Parkside Athletics, which is proud to be joining the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletics Conference starting in 2018-19, is fortunate to receive funding from institutional support and student fees. However, the athletics department and its 15 intercollegiate teams need the Ranger Impact Fund to generate revenue in support of operating expenses, scholarships, recruiting efforts, team travel, and, most importantly, an enhanced student-athlete experience. Rangers name Ryan Ridley as Events & Operations Coordinator SOMERS, Wis. - Parkside Athletics and Director of Athletics Andrew Gavin are excited to announce the hiring of Parkside alumnus Ryan Ridley as the new Events & Operations Coordinator. "I'm extremely excited and fortunate to be part of the Ranger family," Ridley said. "To be able to join my alma mater and contribute to the building and continued success of the Rangers athletics department >'s a dream come true. I am very happy to provide an impact to the region that has given me so much over the years." Ridley, who graduated from Parkside in May of 2013, has been serving as the Rangers' Program Assistant since June of 2017 where he was responsible for coordinating athletic events including the ticketing, concessions and event workers. Before returning to Parkside, Ridley was a Ticket Office Supervisor at the BMO Harris Bradley Center in Milwaukee for a year. "We are thrilled to have Ryan moving into this position as our first Events and Operations Coordinator," Gavin said.

NAOMI DORNFELD the resolution is a mostly symbolic dornfOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu With the repeal of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) an administrative protection against deportation of eligible immigrant youth, many students across the country face the daunting risk of displacement. In response to the threat this poses to UW-Parkside DACA recipients, Parkside Student Government leaders have begun discussing how to best address the issue. Symbol of solidarity Parkside Student Government Vice President Keough Lemieux affirms the need for action to take place, but also considers the possible negative consequences of declaring UW-Parkside as a "Saftct'u-" • ary School", since it could draw unwanted attention and increase potential risk for DACA recipients. Considering the issue's complexity, Keough states, "UW-Parkside DACA recipients are a tremendous asset to our community. For now, statement that we stand with DACA recipients and the organization will hopefully be taking more steps forward in the future." Current resolution As of March 22,2018, the resolution states the following: Parkside Student Government, stands with "undocumented Youth and DACAmented" individuals in an effort to help maintain UW-Parkside's climate of diversity and inclusivity, supports, and informs about DACA by creating programs and to incorporate our campus as a safe zone that protects all of those who would be impacted by the repeal of DACA. This initial resolution will be sent to campus administrators. A slightly modified version may be in the works to send to off-campus organizations in the greater Southeast Wisconsin community. Thoughts from senate Parkside Student Government Senator Sarah Myer expressed her thoughts on the decision after the original document revisions, saying, "with the edits that have been made to first and by adding specification, we have made it a good first resolution." Nodding in agreement, Senator Loveneet Sidhu added, "I support the resolution that is a work in progress right now because it highlights a real concern. It is an issue that students who attend UW campuses are facing and it does need to be brought to light." Although standing in support of the current resolution, Loveneet calls for the need to act with caution, adding, "We want to help, not hurt, DACA recipients, so we are seeking more information before we move ahead." The Parkside Student Government resolves to stand in solidarity with DACA recipients and continues to brainstorm the more effective approach to make UW-Parkside a safe space, indiscriminately. Professor releases newest book on J.D. Salinger Josef Benson examines legacy of classic work, uncovers unsettling writing style HOLLACE VILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu Unsurprisingly, Josef Bensonassistant professor of English and director of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at UW-Parkside—has a knack for the written word. After his first book about hypermasculinity in novels was published in 2014, Benson has been hard at work producing his next project. Benson's newest book, published on March 12, "J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: A Cultural History", explores themes from the classic "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger and the way that it has been adored by readers for over fifty years. With that, he dives into the personal experiences of J.D. Salinger to provide textual context. An all-time favorite Professor Benson claims that'The Catcher in the Rye" had always been among his favorite books, and says, "I first read the book when 1 was 16, actually. I loved it at the time, it was...the book that got me into writing and got me into literature. I was pretty much hooked after I read that." Discussing the significance of his most recent publication, Benson stated, "I think [Salinger's life] is an important part of the story. I went for years and years and years loving the novel and not knowing the details of Salinger's life that inform the book." An in-depth look "Catcher in the Rye" serves as a criticism on liberalism, and, on that note, Benson claims that "there's too much whining and not enough activism," Because of this, he states that the book can be considered dangerous because of its "potential for change." It is seen as a radical, progressive novel, and because o this, he says that "the book has been widely taught, but it has also been widely banned." With the research that Benson has done on Salinger's private life, he uncovered personal ties to "Catcher in the Rye" that added a new perspective to how the book is perceived. He stated, "these facts about Salinger's life are rarely known, but they are crucial to understand the novel, from his Jewishness to his love of women. I did not set out to COURTESY OF EVA STEINER Josef Bensen in his office, CART 232. slam Salinger, because I'm a huge fan of his work, but what I found out was very unsettling and also very interesting in regard to how he wrote." Benson's book was published on Amazon on March 12, and is available in hardcover. With the new spin on a literary classic, "J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: A Cultural History", is sure to cause as much impact as its inspiration.

OPINION Experience the outdoors! Upcoming bio lab highlights UW-Parkside's handson approach Dr. Catherine Mossman discussed an upcoming lab in her BIOS-102 class JOSEPH CANNING canniOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside is regionally eminent for the comprehensive and effective courses offered by its College of Natural and Health Sciences. In particular, the pre-med program, applied health sciences major and the biological science major are well-respected and attract numerous students looking for affordable, quality education to the university. The Ranger News spoke with Dr. Catherine Mossman, a biology professor at UW-Parkside who is been at the university for over 17 years, about an upcoming lab in her organismal biology course and how it highlights what makes UW-Parkside special. An enduring lab Dr. Mossman will be conducting the BIOS-102 lab on April 16 that involves experiments with isopods—more commonly known as roly-polies or pi 11-bugs—regarding their behavior under various conditions. The lab has students place the isopods in what Mossman called "choice-chambers," white blocks with four isopod-sized chambers carved into them that connect at the center. One experiment places an acidic substance in one chamber, a base in another, some water in the third chamber and nothing at all in the last one. The students then observe where the isopods move and infer their environmental preferences. Students must also come up with a hypothesis and experiment of their own for the lab. This lab has been conducted for more than a decade; Professor Mossman said it was "unusual for it to be so successful for so long." Its persistence likely has to with what it teaches students about animal behavior. Mossman claimed that "many students don't know about behavior as long-standing and having this evolutionary perspective." Similar behavior can often be observed across species. Working with living animals is also a rare opportunity for students. Mossman explained that once students move on to their upper-level classes, all the animals they get to work with are already dead.

Fighting for gender neutral bathrooms Rainbow Alliance proposes converting bathrooms to accommodate LGBT students KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside currently has three gender-neutral bathrooms which can be found in The Rita, Wyllie Hall and in the Student Center. It can be a hassle for the students to use the bathrooms because it is neither convenient nor accessible. Conflict regarding this issue has been on the rise due to "significant issues within the trans population at UW-Parkside where many people have had instances where other students are telling them that they are in the wrong bathroom and cannot be there," according to Elliot Michael, the Vice President of Rainbow Alliance. Rainbow Alliance Rainbow Alliance is a studentrun organization that welcomes all people. According to Krish Colon, president of the organization, says that Rainbow Alliance is "an organization that exists to advocate and support the LGBTQ students on campus and facilitate activities and events for educational and support purposes." In the past years, they have hosted many events on campus including a bake sale, a drag show, and a trans day remembrance vigil. Potential changes Unlike the family bathrooms that UW-Parkside currently has, the Earth Day Clean-up concludes Green Week Students called to positively impact the community, volunteer their time and "admire the Earth" KIAF1A FOX fox00034@rangers.uwp. edu The Environmental Club and Campus Activities and Engagement are having a Green Week in attempts to bring awareness to environmental issues that affect every student, which will conclude with an Earth Day Clean Up on April 21. Green Week In the past years, there have been events like Hug A Tree Day where students got the chance to hug a person dressed up like a tree. This event will also happen again this semester. Other events include We Heart Clean Water Wednesday, which will include a discussion about the benefits of living near the lake. There will also be a planter event that will give students an opportunity to bring a plant home. According to Autumn Hamilton, who is the chair of the Green Week committee and the President of The Environmental Club, Green Week is "a celebration and [creates] awareness of green related topics. It will bring awareness to local [environmental] topics as well as global ones. Make an impact Earth Day Clean Up will be a chance for students to go out in local communities and make a positive difference. Earth Day Clean Up is one of their biggest events and will mark the end of Green Week. Students will not only be able to physically clean up the Earth, "they will also get the chance to admire the Earth" Hamilton explains. This outdoor volunteering opportunity is unique because students get to interact with the outside world around them. The Environment Club will also be visiting other clubs and students can sign up at these events as well. For further information about Green Week and the Earth Day Clean up, contact Autumn Hamilton at hamil033@rangers.uwp.edu. By coming out to Earth Day Clean Up, students can gain volunteer hours while helping to clean up the environment. They can make a difference in the community while enjoying fresh air and the beauty that nature has to offer. BIOLOGY LAB: Interactive classroom experience The importance of handson learning Hands-on experience like this isopod lab afford students valuable experience with the scientific process and a refreshing change of pace from lectures. Mossman felt that UWParkside does an excellent job in providing students with substantial and useful labs. What she hears "year after year after year is how much "Many students don't know about [animal] behavior as longstanding and having this evolutionary perspective.9> students appreciate the hands-on experience." Labs provide a time for students to slow down and focus on accomplishing a specific task; usually students work in groups to better equip them for work in the professional realm. Mossman emphasized that lab-based instruction is a focus at UW-Parkside and something the school does well. BIOS-102 features a variety of other labs that allow students to discover the differences and similarities among the many different forms of life, though it is not the only class to benefit from lab-based instruction. Mossman said that she feels "a lot of pride in Parkside [because the faculty has] definitely put a lot of energy and resources not just into biology but across our CNHS to keep active, hands-on labs because it is just so important." Not all universities see the benefits of the hands-on approach; however, the professor said that the CNHS has noticed that "at some other schools, to cut costs, they take a course [like organismal biology) and make it a lecture-based course." As labs like Professor Mossman's show, UW-Parkside and its CNHS continue to strive to maintain a focus on hands-on learning and student engagement in the sciences. bathrooms that will be converted will have multiple stalls with the intention of reducing wait time. Rainbow Alliance is hoping that the locations would be more convenient for everyone. Ideally, several more bathrooms on campus could be changed as well. Student opinions The concept of gender-neutral bathrooms comes with many opinions about privacy and safety. Ahmad Qawi, a student, has mixed opinions about converting more bathrooms to gender-neutral ones. He says, "For transgender [people] or people struggling to come out, I feel that [the bathrooms] would be an open place for these individuals to feel comfortable and normal." Qawi likes the idea of adding more bathrooms, but he does not think that just anyone should be able to use these bathrooms. He thinks that problems of rape, invasion of privacy and health issues could arise from adding more gender-neutral bathrooms. Rainbow Alliance has just recently started the process to request these bathrooms. Over the next couple of semesters some big changes could be coming. The process is still in the early stages, and Rainbow Alliance has been drafting letters to send to the Dean of Students that outlines their plans. Student finds internship success Karol Lejmback encourages finding a job in field of interest Karol Lejmback DIANE OSTROWSKI ostro009@rangers. uwp.edu ZACHARY BEYER beyer020@rangers. uwp.edu While initially for medical school graduates, the concept of an internship is now very common across many other academic disciplines. Internships include any official or formal program that provides practical experience in an occupation or profession. Without one, a college experience is no longer considered complete. A transfer student from the College of Lake County in Grayslake, IL, Karol Lejmback, is completing his dual major in computer science and mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Parkside. He was able to achieve success on his first attempt when attending last October's Internship Fair. While Lejmback focused on only one item, the internship fair, it can be beneficial to look at other avenues. Conducting a multipronged approach broadens your reach, which increases the odds in favor of achieving your goal. This could be contacting your department head, or if available, the department internship advisor. Exploring the internship page under the Advising and Career Center is a great starting point and is packed with good content. Following the adage of dressing for success, Lejmback dressed professionally, in a shirt and tie with. dress pants and leather shoes. This presentation reinforced the cool confidence he wanted to project walking from table to table, and that was a good strategy. A contact from the Advising & Career Center shared, "Often, an internship search would mirror the job search graduates often complete." The internship experience can share the struggles found in a professional job search, such as not being able to connect with a solid contact or not finding a good fit between a company and the interested party. But when Lejmback wandered over and started talking with someone at one of the tables, he hit the jackpot. "I just sold myself as best I could,' he said. The person he chatted with turned out to be the CEO. Since the company primarily COURTESY OF ZACHARY BEYER : dual major in math, computer sci. provides software support, and hardware and software solutions for local businesses, their focus aligned well with his. Another tidbit Lejmback shared is to "look for weird places, corporate atmosphere isn't always the norm." When speaking about what he thought qualified him for this position, the first thing that Lejmback mentioned was his experience with running Linux operating systems followed by coding he has done relating to his coursework in computer science. He also felt he was good with clearly explaining tasks, quickly grasping the issue and effectively evaluating possible problems. His experience at Parkside tutoring others was attributed in developing and demonstrating these skills. So, here too Lejmback had an advantage. Having both formal studies and activity outside the classroom to bring to the table is helpful since it usually presents one as a strong candidate. He also says, "Go with a job that interests you." Other advice Lejmback would offer to those looking for internships include highly recommending looking for companies that are interesting as well as not expecting to find something that includes a salary, as his internship is unpaid. However, the lack of payment does not need to limit your opportunity. In this situation, if the position is open upon completion of his internship, they have discussed offering him a contract and should he accept it, the job would then be his.

April 4.2018 THE RANGER NEWS Briefs A moment of silence in Miami RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Students of Florida International University held a moment of silence foi the victims of a pedestrian bridge collapse on March 16. The bridge was newly completed near the campus, but a crack in the bridge caused some safety concerns before the bridge collapsed. Officials met three hours before the tragedy to discuss the crack and concluded that it did not affect the bridge's structural integrity. The 950 ton bridge collapsed over FIU's spring break, falling over cars stopped at a traffic light. It killed six people, ranging in age from 18-60 years old. As a show of solidarity and remembrance for the victims, students held a moment of silence at 1:47pm—which was when the bridge collapsed-on March 19. Chechnya's gay genocide kills hundreds RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu In April 2017, Novaya Gazeta published the first article addressing the gay genocide in Chechnya. Since then, the exact number of victims of the genocide continues to be unknown, but the number could be in the hundreds. When Novaya Gazeta first published their article, over a hundred men had been detained, and at least three were confirmed dead. Those detained were done so on suspicion and were taken by officials to be beaten, starved, shocked and sometimes even killed for their supposed crimes. The murders are believed to be rooted in an old custom of the region called "killing honor", in which someone who has brought shame upon their family is killed to absolve it. Governments worldwide have condemned Chechnya's actions, but the country's authorities responded that there were no gay men in Chechnya, therefore the accusations were false. The Russian LGBT Network has set up a hotline for those who are in danger of being detained and killed. Syria's ongoing conflict calls for response Pre-teens, journalists call for intervention amid social media violence NAOMI DORNFELD dornfO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On March 15, Syria's civil war entered its eight year. With the continued attack on Eastern Ghouta from the Syrian Government and the enduring factions of resistance across the country, there appears to be no end in sight. Amid the conflict, the Syrian people c all upon the world for response. Since its onset in 2011, there have been over 465,000 casualties and over 12 million people displaced from their homes across Syria. Throughout the ongoing conflict, every day citizens have taken to social media to share their experiences and to plead for the world's attention and their aid. Voices of the People Among the many young people utilizing public applications to broadcast statements and events in conflict-zones, two young girls, identifying as @Noor_and_Alaa on Twitter, post regular updates from the besieged enclave they are trapped in. On March 21,12-year-old Noor sent a message to the world: "There is nowhere to go from here, it seems to be the end somehow, If the international community want to save us it is time to do it now. #SaveGhouta #Ghouta #Syria" A freelance photojournalist from Syria by the username @amer_ almohibany posted on March 7, "We are annihilated in every sense of the word, pray for us. #EasternGhouta." Conversation on Campus In consideration of how University of Wisconsin - Parkside students can address this crisis as global citizens, Dr. Kate Gillogly, Geography and Anthropology Department Chair, and Dr. Simon Akindes, Political Science Professor, were invited to shared their views. When asked about what, if anything, could be done, Dr. Akindes shared details of the situation's complexity, admitting that there are limits to how UWParkside students can help Syria. He suggested, "either you advocate for refugees or you organize information sessions where people can talk about it and learn more, less subjected to propaganda of mainstream media." Also aware of the complexities of the Syrian war, Dr. Gillogly shared, "that could be me, fleeing war. Those are nice, ordinary people, and now they're homeless. For Syria, for anything, learn to put yourself in that position. Develop your ability to put yourself in their story. Learn empathy." Options to Engage Although the conflict in Syria appears distant and overwhelmingly complex, there are positive initiatives to participate in, organizations to partner with and opportunities for further education and support. Two possible personal response actions are to advocate for Syrian Refugees and to donate to trustworthy organizations. To support Syrian refugees, email your elected officials and call your U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives: 1 -866-940-2439.Once connected, share your name, city, and state, your support for the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program and one or two reasons why you welcome refugees. To help with immediate on-the-ground needs in conflict zones donate to an organization like Preemptive Love Coalition, which provides bread and infant formula inside besieged and hard-to-reach areas, maintains a massive emergency kitchen, and sends mobile medical clinics into communities whose hospitals have been destroyed. Lastly, to stay engaged in the plight of the Syrian people, follow the aforementioned youth on Twitter and other social media accounts, and listen in to their stories they tell. Science Night teaches about trauma, growth JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On March 14, Ann Friesema, a professor at UW-Parkside and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Chicago who has worked for 13 years, gave a presentation on posttraumatic growth. The hour-long presentation was a part of the Science Night series of events at the school that features guest-speakers who focus on some interesting topic in science; the event, like all Science Night events, was open to community members as well UW-Parkside students. What is posttraumatic growth?

At UW-Parkside, this book is the post-apocalyptic novel "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel, the 2014 Arthur C. Clarke Award recipient. The novel's characters live in a harsh, violent world and must endure much trauma in their lives. Posttraumatic growth is the process of healing and personal change that can occur following a traumatic event. The Ranger News spoke to Friesema after her presentation, and she contrasted posttraumatic growth with the better-known PTSD by saying that "posttraumatic growth is the positive change out of trauma as opposed to PTSD, which is a mental disorder." Research into posttraumatic growth is relatively new, having only been conducted over the last 25 years. Growth through community The presentation discussed various aspects of posttraumatic growth and the scientific community's current understanding of the phenomenon. The perception of personal growth after trauma is subjective, so when individuals were asked by psychologists about how they changed, they answered with a range of different responses. Some patients claimed they experienced increased personal strength, some found a new openness to new possibilities in life, others attained a deeper spirituality, many found a CD s - Vinyl - DTD's Of Kenosha We haiiBHI Turntables We can find anything! greater appreciation for life while others formed closer relationships with friends and family. Universally, community support was an important factor in encouraging posttraumatic growth. Relevant quotes from "Station Eleven" were placed side-by-side with other information in Fries— ema's slides. These quotes were primarily the reflections of the novel's characters, and how their witnessing of the apocalypse changed their views of themselves. Dr. Friesema said the largest parallel that could be drawn from the book regarding posttraumatic growth was "community and connection." In the novel, the main characters roam in a band, and they rely on each other for security and emotional support. Friesema stressed that "so much of healing out of trauma has to do with being connected to other people." Were the band not to exist, the trauma and hardship faced by "Station Eleven"'s characters would likely break them. More to come for Science Night Dr. Friesema wanted to remind readers that traumatic events do not need to result in negative change but "can be a catalyst for growth and development;" she said that "can surprise people." Dr. Friesema is also one the individuals who have been tasked with developing and implementing UW-Parkside's masters program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling which will be first offered in Fall of 2018. She will be teaching courses in trauma, crisis, and the foundations of mental health counselling. Keep an eye on the flyers posted around campus for more information on the next Science Night presentation.

Faithfully adapting interactive entertainment into a passive viewing experience is quite the challenge, since it serves as a less engaging method of delivering a familiar story. March 16 saw the release of "Tomb Raider" as an attempt to tackle the task and quell common criticisms of the genre. The film centers around video game icon Lara Croft, the titular Tomb Raider, as she embarks on an adventure to find her missing father on a mysterious, deserted island. The film does suffer some of the same predictable pitfalls as other adaptations, but Lara Croft's footing is surprisingly stable this time around. A re-imagined character Back in 2001, Angelina Jolie portrayed the original version of Lara Croft: an oversexualized action heroine. In contrast, Alicia Vikander plays the far more serious protagonist of the rebooted Tomb Raider title of 2013 (which, by the way, is amazing), and she does it surprisingly well. Lara Croft portrayed by Alicia Vikander This Lara is a troubled young woman turned hardened survivalist. From her dramatic delivery to her muscular physique to her detailed expressions, Vikander commits.

I wonder what your face looked like when you had me, when I was cleaned to expose fair skin and pale hair in contrast to your ink black strands and natural sun baked skin. I never understood why you maneuvered my hand to the "other" check box away from "Hispanic/Latino." 1 guess I preferred not to specify. I never understood why when I uttered my first Spanish words you never replied. You must have felt relieved when I was enrolled in Kindergarten with other pale faces, articulating accurate English, the Spanish unpracticed flying from my mind. You never noticed how I felt out of place at our own family reunions, how my eyes strayed and daydreamed in the middle of conversations with my family because I could not understand what they were saying. You never knew that I wished I could proudly say "Yo soy Puertoriquena" without fear of being laughed at. And I hate that I can't be mad because you were being a mother, a mother who had experienced the pain of discrimination, I know. But 1 would rather share that pain with you than watch you suffer alone. ~ * in the newest "Tomb Raider" film directed to the convincing performance. Thankfully, director Roar Uthaug is the first of three filmmakers to treat the character like a human being. The camera does not oversexualize Lara Croft. This issue, commonly known as "The Male Gaze," never burdens the film, and that is massively COURTESY OF WARNER BROS by Roar Uthaug. respectable. The film's shortcomings Inevitably, "Tomb Raider" is not as good as the game upon which it is based. Over ten hours of story were crammed into two hours of footage, and it shows. The pacing takes a dip at the end of the second act. Some character motivations do not remain consistent. A few plot points could not hold up to even moderate scrutiny. My biggest criticism of the film was of its villain-Vogel, played by Walton Goggins. Whereas I loved his performances in "Lincoln" and "The Hateful Eight", Goggins mutes his performance here. He looks and sounds bored the entire movie, which is quite disappointing to see from such a skillful actor. A final verdict 2018's "Tomb Raider" is a mixed bag. Despite its flaws, the movie is undoubtedly entertaining. Not only is Alicia Vikander inspiring in the role, but the action throughout the movie is also clever, grounded and gripping. The film is "popcorn" entertainment— pulpy action with a handful of effective character moments sprinkled throughout. Its protagonist is well-realized, and the plot serves up a relatively robust adventure story, which is a miracle for a video game adaptation. On the movie grading scale, "Tomb Raider" gets a "B-" from me. Best 2017 indie game suggestions Recommendations from a rising genre of gaming More excellent and creative stories came from similar indie titles. "Night in the Woods" is a gothic detective narrative with quirky dialogue and a Trends can be oppressive; they edge out unconventional ideas. Risks are often not allowed to flourish. VIA INFINITE FALL, GEARS FOR BREAKFAST, STUDIO MDHR, AND TEAM SALVATO A montage of popular 2017 game characters. TRAVIS NORTHERN explored in AAA titles. north004@rangers.uwp.edu VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING Many of the world's most popular video game franchises-"Call of Duty", "World of Warcraft", "Assassin's Creed"-are made successful by the financial power of a publisher. These games are called "AAA" (Triple-A) titles, and in 2017, their popularity declined. Many players found themselves tired of the franchises' formulaic designs and money-gouging add-ons. In their failures, the industry spotlight shined on an underappreciated genre: games developed without the support of a publisher. Independent (indie) games are frequently lauded by cult fanbases for their unmitigated creativity. Indie hit after indie hit in 2017 reminded the gaming community that games can be artistic, interesting and just plain fun. Remarkable stories One of my favorite games of 2017 was "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice", a story-driven action game about a young woman living with psychosis. The hyper-nuanced graphics, the chilling settings and the emotional performances were about as compelling as interactive entertainment can get. The gaflie also has a moving message about mental %ess that is far too bold to be unique, cartoonish aesthetic. One computer game, "Doki Doki Literature Club," even pushed the boundaries of storytelling as a whole. The title starts off as a harmless-looking visual novel, but the plot grows thicker than tar right under the player's nose. I will not spoil the shocking twist, but it is one that will stick with most players long after they have finished its insane experience. Nostalgic gems Indie games also managed to xcel throughout the year by experimenting on tried-and-true designs. "Cuphead" was in NextLevel Gaming's top five favorite games of the year, and with good reason. The 2D platformer charmed audiences around the world with its art style, which resembled 1930's-era hand-drawn animation. In addition, the gameplay was elegant in its simplicity, even if the difficulty was hilariously unreasonable for some levels. Another throwback indie game that was irresistibly fun was "A Hat in Time". The development of this modest project was funded entirely via Kickstarter. Like many crowd-funded products, it could have crashed and burned, but the risk paid off. "A Hat in Time" is phenomenal. It perfectly captures every appeal of the Nintendo Gamecube. It is an essential purchase for game libraries everywhere, and it could even serve as a great introduction to gaming for brand new players. The future of Indies The boom of independent game development in 2017 enriched the overall industry in a major way. The AAA publishing sphere outputs a considerable array of fulfilling entertainment, but there are flaws. Trends can be oppressive; they edge out unconventional ideas. Risks are often not allowed to flourish. Repetition is sometimes favored over deviation. Things can get monotonous in the mainstream sphere of interactive entertainment. I hus, the abundance of indie gems in 2017 was an abundance of quality. The games listed above are absolutely worth the valuable time and money they ask of consumers. One of the titles is even free to play. Last year was excellent for talented, underrated developers, and it will be interesting to see which independent games soar in 2018.

April 4,2018 THE RANGER NEWS "The King's Choice": More engaging than thrilling Two of the most jam-packed days in Norwegian history ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp. edu War movies. I am reasonably sure we can agree that films centermg around the topic of war are rarely cheerful. They might have moments of comedic relief or a heartwarming or uplifting ending but on the whole, an average war' film will at least leave watchers with a single tear threatening to fall. With this in mind, I have not gone to see that many war movies over the years. When I sit in a seat, potentially with some popcorn or candy, I want to laugh and be merry, not weeping openly over men and women who died because someone somewhere got on their high horse and tried to take over the world. However, if I had to watch a war movie for say, I do not know, a film review for "The Ranger News", 1 would not run away screaming. Maybe it is not so bad As it happens, "The King's Choice" was easier to get through than I had hoped. Set in 1940s Norway, the film takes place over the course of roughly three days, and focuses on the decision of King Haakon VII, during that time. At that point in the war, Norway was determined to remain neutral, but Germany was equally determined to overrun and occupy the country. King Haakon and the rest of the royal family flee to a safe farm in the countryside, and thus begins the game of cat and mouse between the Norwegian government and the Germans. No bark, massive bite With a cast of sympathetic and engaging characters, "The King's Choice" does a good job of capturing the attention of its audience The royal family in turmoil in having to and making them invest in the final outcome. Haakon himself is a tall, weary-looking sixty-eightyear- old who looks as though a strong wind could carry him away. The gentle nature with which he speaks to his grandchildren and the young soldiers he comes across throughout the film is refreshing and more human than monarchs are normally portrayed as. This made it a genuine surprise when Haakon's backbone shone through as he defended his country and all the people within it that depended on him. COURTESY OF BERLINALE.DE separate. The King's Choice Awards "The King's Choice" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, but the only awards it formally won were from the Norwegian International Film Festival. The film was awarded with best Norwegian film, best music and sound design, best screenplay, visual effects, editing and best supporting actor. If you missed UW Parkside's run of "The King's Choice," the film is available for rent or purchase on YouTube and Amazon. PETLAND PETS MAKE LIFE BETTER.' This Week in History: The pony express Our first modern postmen and their steeds CHANGE OF msr RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Founded on April 3 1860, now nearly 160 years ago, the Pony Express was a short lived business that became the stuff of legends in the wild west. The Pony Express was founded by William Hepburn Russell, Alexander Majors and William Bradford Waddell. These three men came up with a solution to the problem the gold rush in California and other areas of the west had caused-a lack of communication between families that lived across the country from one another. The route began in Missouri and ran over 2,000 miles to California. Before the express began letters took months to travel from the east to the west. The Pony Express cut the time it took for letters to travel down to a mere ten days. The first Pony Express ad read, "WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry fellows, not over eighteen. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred. Wages: $25 per week. Apply: Central Overland Pony Express Alta Building Montgomery Street". The route The riders of the Pony Express were well known for their bravery and sacrifices made to get their precious cargo from one destination to the next. Even famed American author Mark Twain weighed in on the riders, calling them "swift phantoms of the desert". REDUCED HATKK! Along the route, there were over 190 way stations that riders could stop at to feed and care for or switch out horses when their own become exhausted. These stations were set up every ten to twelve miles and were no small part of the business's short-lived success. One of the most famous riders was an individual by the name of Robert Halsam, who was more commonly known as "Pony Bob". Pony Bob gained his fame for his bravery on one of his routes when he ran straight through the Paiute War around the age of 18 or 19. The uprisings in the area had shut down nearly all the other routes that ran through the territory. Down in history Unfortunately, less than a year and a half after the Pony Express began, it ended. The riders were quickly replaced by the transcontinental telegraph, which sent messages with even more speed than the riders could ever hope to keep ujHvith. Still, due to the Pony Express' short but impactful place in American history, it has gone down as a legend for the ages. Though many of the stories of the Pony Express are mostly myth now, it is still rooted in a real business that revolutionized how mail was delivered to people of the United States. The perils the riders of the express faced crossing the country to deliver their precious cargo cannot be forgotten. CULTURE | 5 Questions about our culture articles?

Stress a problem when it is chronic. That is when it can start causing mental and physical harm. There are many ways you can try and alleviate some of your stress. There are at least three different types of stress. First is routine stress, and it is related to everyday life. Second is stress brought on by sudden, negative change. Third is traumatic stress that is related to a traumatic event, and it can develop into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The stress response is natural, and it can even save our lives. However, it becomes an issue when it is chronic, and it can even cause physical symptoms to manifest. Some these symptoms are digestive issues, sleeplessness, headaches, depressed mood, irritability and anger. There are simple steps you can take to help reduce your stress. Eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and exercise are a good start. Relaxation can be facilitated by meditation. yoga, deep breathing, tai chi, and time in nature. Identifying your triggers and trying to limit exposure is important. Stress will always be there, but by learning how to cope and how to reduce it, you limit its effect on you. According the Mayo Clinic, "Exercise in almost any form can act as a stress reliever. Being active can boost your feel-good endorphins and distract you from daily worries." UW-Parkside has many activities sponsored by different organizations on campus to provide a fun way to get that exercise in. There is free membership for full time UW- Parkside students at the Sports and Activity Center (SAC) on campus. The hours are Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and Sundays 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. Now if your stress is becoming chronic, meaning that there are physical symptoms associated with it, and you need help dealing with it there is help for that as well. UW- Parkside has counseling services available to students. Sometimes just talking to someone outside of the situation can be helpful. The Student Health and Counseling Center is located behind Talent hall. The number there is (262) 595-2366. The services are free and confidential to students. Only you can manage your stress and take the action needed to get it under control. As a student at UW- Parkside there are numerous services, activities, and tools available to you. In the words of Bruce Lee, "It is not daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials." A generation taking a stand A Message from Nature: Experience the outdoors COURTESY OF FIBONACCI BLUE High schoolers took to the streets in protest of school shootings. ALYSSA GOROSKI gorosO01 @rangers. uwp. edu While high school may not be a pleasant time for most students, it is at least supposed to be memorable. For most people, the clearest memories that come to mind are dances, sporting events and cafeteria squabbles. For others, it is unwarranted and horrific violence. Spurred by memories of students that have passed due to school shootings over the decades and the recent shooting in Parkland, FL, students have begun protesting and pushing for change. Why is it that the generation that has been dubbed the "New Silent Generation" are the ones that are speaking out against such a pressing issue? In a world where older generations often accuse the younger ones of only caring about avocados and smartphones, it is those same avocado-loving generations that are speaking out, and ultimately, walking out. With all of this attention that students are getting, it should make the rest of the country wonder what we are doing to support what we believe in. Students are taking a stand about what they think is important by walking out of classrooms during the school day in protest. Some of them have been personally affected by gun violence, whether they have lost a friend or a family member, and others are walking out because they do not want to be a victim of it. The concept of walking out in protest is spreading to other political ideas as well. Students in California wonder why they could not protest abortion just as others across the country protested other types of violence. This type of political action, while on a small scale to the rest of the world, promotes speculation in young people. It could encourage new, revolutionary ideas that older generations claim that the younger ones do not, and perhaps should not, have. Whether you agree with the various high school students' opinions or not, it is notable to mention the action they are taking. Often times, the intent of making a difference only goes as far as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram newsfeeds that fill up with articles and opinions that one could "like", "heart" or "share", crossing fingers and toes that someday, somehow, it will make a change somewhere. The opinions of a new generation is generally a prickly topic, but when the nation's up-and-coming generation is standing up for what they believe in, whether it be an antigun stance or a pro-life opinion, then there has to be hope for America's future. I suppose the question is, then, if high schoolers are speaking out, then what are you doing to support what you believe in? BRYAN MALEK JR. malek003@rangers. uwp. edu In this day and age, we are constantly bombarded with social media notifications on our phones, tablets and laptops. We seem to always have a screen illuminating our faces and showing the blank expression of disinterest. Sure, we may enjoy seeing pictures of your aunt and her new dog, watching videos of pointless acts, and hours of T.V. shows without commercials or lag-time between episodes, but are we really engaged? Have you ever been so engulfed into your screen that when you look away you feel as misplaced and perplexed as if you were just staring at a wall for hours? Well, you are not alone, because it turns out that you have the same amount of brain activity watching a screen that you do staring at a wall. I have found myself in this predicament, and I have found ways to disconnect from the screen and reconnect with nature. Going outside gives a person a natural feeling of being content and happy. Even if it is an ordinary day with the sun shining and a sky of blue, you could go for a walk or bike ride and find yourself feeling engaged and connected with the world around you. If all you want to do is just sit and relax, go do it outside in a park or in your backyard and I guarantee you'll feel more relaxed than if you sat inside on your computer all day. These are some quick and simple solutions to detach from technology, but I will recommend to do something more fascinating. The United States of America offers some of the most beautiful lands in the world. From mountains to valleys, prairies to forest, there is nothing more astonishing then being engulfed in them. At the moment, every state has places set aside that are dedicated to conserving and preserving the natural beauty for your viewing pleasure. So take a road trip somewhere! Get friends and family together to go camping and hiking; close or far, plan it out and do it. The feeling of hiking up a mountainside or waking up and seeing a quiet pristine lake is sublime. Sometimes just standing and looking into the openness can be enough to feel empowered. The connection between you and the wilderness can only be experienced by being physically present. Disconnect with technology and reconnect with yourself in nature. Bryan Malek Jr. is a senior majoring in liberal studies and is the Public Relations Officer of PEC.

Editorial Desk AUSTIN KRIEGER krieg004@rangers. uwp. edu Religion, in some form or another, has permeated into human existence and culture since the first anatomically modern humans, our ancestors, inhabited the Earth. In its earliest forms, people looked to the stars and celestial bodies to track the seasons and patterns of the world, such as the tides shifting with the moon. This observance translated into characterizing the stars and planets as gods in the heavens. A brief glance at the world history of religion would show a strong progression and evolution of ideas starting from simply looking to the sky. As civilization progressed, so did religion. Different cultures from around the world formed their own beliefs that were rooted in a story told across the planet. In r eligion's infancy, these beliefs gave people what seemed to be the means to physically manipulate the world around them by appeasing higher beings—the stars and planets which seem to look down from heaven. In the twenty-first century, in much the same way, religion allows people to believe that with thought and devotion to a higher being, the world will be changed dramatically. Religion gives hope, security, and social solidarity. Whether or not any part of religion is truly supernatural, the consequences of its communion and their actions are real. If one chooses to be kind and give to others because of what they believe, religious or not, they have made a tangible difference in this world. It does not matter if religion was created by a god or by humans, but it matters what we do with it.

Campus receives its first armed teacher satest classroom on campus, more to follow TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers. uwp. edu In order to protect students from potential attacks on campus, Dr. Winn Chester, an associate professor of music at UW-Parkside, has decided to carry a weapon on his person as he teaches his classes. Curious about the ramifications of arming teachers with firearms, Bearly News contacted Dr. Chester for an interview. Our reporters were permitted to attend his class for a day and ask him questions about his new routine. "I am so thrilled that I am finally able to exercise my right to bear arms at work. It keeps the government from turning Wisconsin into a dystopian police state," he said, polishing his .44 magnum in a room full of college students. A reasonable setup After a notable figure produced a series of official, prestigious and very eloquent tweets, Dr. Chester found himself inspired to obtain a weapon for his workplace. "They made us take hours of classes for protocol and safety," he recaps. "But of course, I did not finish a single page of the homework. Do the instructors not know how busy I am?" Thankfully, the professor is already a highly skilled gunman , even without the instruction. "I shot a raccoon in my backyard once," he said. "I may as well be special forces." Dr. Chester's philosophy is that the next opponent could be hiding just around the corner. Consequently, he is constantly on high alert, ready to end a life in the blink of an eye. As a result, the weapon is always on his desk, staring straight at his class of music majors. A reasonable interaction The music professor has not yet needed to defend himself from an actual attacker, but the presence of the firearm in his classroom does have benefits. Reports show that grades have improved by 200%, and it is easy to see why. Throughout the lecture, students paid extremely close attention to every movement the professor made. Their eyes were wide with excitement, and they were sweating with enthusiasm. At one point, a freshman threateningly reached into her suspicious handbag. With the reflexes of a Bengal tiger, Dr. Chester readied his weapon and prepared for a shootout. Terrified, the student procured a packet of chewing gum with a shaky hand. Dr. Chester was not appeased until she surrendered the Hubba Bubba as reparations for the fright she had caused. His heroism inspires us all.

However, the time had come for us to put research aside and to do some investigation straight at the source. I will not tell you how we got into his den, or indeed if it was legal. We needed answers.

What about the head? We turned to investigate the basement further. As we got deeper the pictures became more recent. "That was the boy that went missing in the woods this fall," T. Ruxpin said, pointing to a photograph. Having run his student victims than answers ID picture through the newspaper several times, this reporter recognized him. Finally, we reached the edge of the basement. In the deepest, darkest corner we saw what looked like a nest. Above it hung the photograph included in this article. "It's Ranger Bear," T.

The dialogue between Randy Bryce, students and members from partner organizations was organized by Latinos Unidos president Crystal Garcia. The event was open to the public and announced on the Latinos Unidos social media profiles. Running for senate Randy Bryce opened the conversation with a brief description of his entry point into his campaign: working hand in hand with Voces de la Frontera, a membership-based community organization which fights for workers' rights and against discrimination, specifically as it pertains to migrants. It was while he was protesting with them at the May Day March that senator Chris Larson asked if he would consider running COURTESY OF CELIA SCHULZ-PHOTOGRAPHY voice his commitment to fight for immigrant students. for senate against Paul Ryan. After looking around and seeing thousands of determined faces, he could not consider "no" as an answer to campaigning.

Announcing that the bill was far overdue, Bryce stressed the importance for it to be pushed through as promised. Second, he voiced his support for Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Permanent Residents (DAPA) and pointed out the importance of taking care of the people that are here. Bryce proceeded to address cuts to legal immigration, for profit prisons, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the travel ban. To sum his strategies on the topic of immigration, he expressed that "These are things that are very important as part of building a bigger table and having more people able to be included."

Hoskins was confident in his abilities for the position saying, "One of the main things 1 bring is experience...and 1 know the school a lot." By "knowing the school" Hoskins insured that he has focused on building relationships with other students, gaining a reputation as "really friendly" and someone whom students feel comfortable coming to with concerns.

Anonymous announcement Anonymous letters sent out to addresses all across England in early March proposed to set April 3rd 2018 as "Punish a Muslim Day". As awareness of these notes circulated on social media and the announcement was reported through various news media outlets, concerns spread throughout the country, eventually spreading across the Atlantic. The announcements sounded alarms to communities throughout the states. The ill-intentioned flyers sparked worries in many U.S. cities and campus communities, including UW-Parkside. The issue was addressed in an e-mail from the Office of the Dean of Students, informing students and staff that the University Police would be monitoring the day's events and instructed recipients to report any inappropriate actions or threats to the police immediately. The e-mail included a reminder to the campus community of the leadership's pledge to uphold a productive and inclusive space for academic development, stating that "UW-Parkside is committed to maintaining a learning environment that celebrates diverse knowledge and perspectives through the academic engagement of a diverse community.

Artist talks about latest "Them Boys" David Alekhuogie's multidisciplinary photography is now featured in the Fine Arts Gallery. COURTESY OF EVA STEINER David Alekhuogie (center) discusses and displays his work to his audience. KIARA FOX fox00034®rangers. uwp. edu David Alekhuogie's photography called "Them Boys" explores the bodies and states of (un)dress, as he exposes and subverts the meanings and mythologies that we ascribe to fashions and the bodies they simultaneously cloak and reveal. The photographs featured in this exhibition apply a type of printing called cyanotype, which uses salts and light to create a sort of "blueprint" of the piece. Who is he? Alekhuogie was born and raised from Los Angeles, California. He received his degrees from the School of Art Institute in Chicago and got his master at Yale in 2015. His work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times and Time Magazine. Over the years, he has worked in photography, sculpture, video and much more. Influence and inspiration Alekhuogie's biggest influence was Hiroshi Sugimoto, who traveled the world taking photos of seas, horizons and landscapes. Alekhuogie says, "Landscape is a big part of what I do and what I practice and how I became interested in photography." He goes on to say that he " think[s] all of the work in this show is about landscape." With this in mind, "Them boys" features the body as a landscape, and Alekhougie claims that the series revolves around "thinking about the body as an arena where people are sort of enacting a kind of cultural theater. Like what I feel like we are going through in this present day." What now? Alekhuogie has been studying classic sculptures and this is due to growing up playing sports. He talks about how he imagined Michael Jordan as a kind of hero and a character "like in a play that is flattened against our cultural conversation about him." Alekhuogie sees the sculptures as another type of hero. "Them Boys" looks at the ideas of race, culture, and politics. Alekhuogie turns his experiences into works of art that make you question what can be considered a "landscape". From sagging pants with Tommy Hilfiger underwear to the Nike swoosh, "Them Boys" is a collection of artwork that stands out. Group of students build home over spring break Habitat for Humanity members traveled to Alabama to work on project KIARA FOX fox00034Grangers, uwp.edu While some students went on vacation over spring break and others caught up on homework, UW-Parkside's Habitat For Humanity went to Mobile, Alabama, to help build a home for a deserving family. The local chapter UW-Parkside's Habitat for Humanity is just one of the many chapters in the organization. The organization as a whole has a mission to serve communities by providing every man, woman and child with a decent, safe and affordable place to live, and UW-Parkside's Habitat for Humanity focuses on serving the people of Racine and Kenosha counties.They also help build and remodel homes and raise awareness for homelessness, poverty, and other specific needs in the community. The program According to Marley Uran, the President of UW-Parkside's Habitat for Humanity, "This program is not simply a free, give away house program. Families must help build their home or have family/friends help. In addition, they pay a mortgage on the home. However, the housing costs are significantly lower than an average house on the market thanks to volunteers and donors." Making a difference Fifteen students got the chance to make a difference nationally. For this project, UW-Parkside students worked on several aspects of housing structure, such as roofing, windows and doors. Not only did this work help communities in Mobile, but it could also help the local communities here in Racine and Kenosha. Uran said, "Students can bring back this knowledge into their own community to implement change." To join the team, contact Marley Uran at uran0001@rangers. uwp.edu.

Third graders seek answers about mammoths Bose Elementary students sent letter inquiries to anthropology students at UW-Parkside AUSTIN KRIEGER krieg004Grangers, uwp. edu Third grade students at Bose elementary school in Kenosha have been learning about mammoths and how scientists have been attempting to bring mammoths back through genetic engineering. Over 50 students from the third grade class wrote letters filled with questions about mammoths and what humanity would do if mammoths were brought back. Receiving the questions Dr. Gillogly, a professor in anthropology, received an email from the third grade teacher at Bose elementary who was hoping that some of their students could have their questions answered by real anthropologists. Dr. Gillogly then reached out to Nathan Gray, vice president of the anthropology club, and fellow students in the club to help respond to these letters. The anthropology club responded individually to the letters with the help of four students, Dr. Gillogly and Dr. Sasso of the anthropology department. The right people to ask Dr. Sasso often references mammoths in his archaeology courses, specifically a very well known mammoth excavation in Kenosha known as the Schaefer site. With the knowledge between the club's students and advisors, the letters were answered accurately about how mammoths lived during their time on Earth. Gray and the anthropology club hope that by answering these questions, it will help sustain these students' interests in fields such as anthropology and archaeology. The club hopes to pave the way for future students in the fields they are earning degrees in now. RANGER R ADIO The Top 5 most played albums during the week of April 8, on WIPZ 101.5 FM: 1.

Yi discussed the history of the policy, changes made recently and what he foresees happening in the future. It has been a topic of controversy for decades. Yi has played a great part in repealing the One Child Policy. The policy was based on inaccurate research and the fear of a population explosion. In 2014. the Selected Two Child Policy was implemented in specific regions. In 2016. it converted to the Open Two Child Policy for the whole country. In March 2018.

For most of them, this is the only country that they know " After the meeting came to a close, students were invited to meet Bry ce and follow his campaign journey. THREATS: Exposes under discussed issues discussion on ways to confront the divisive and destructive nature of religious and racial discrimination. UW-Parkside student Mohamed Mursal commented, "We all know it's a problem. Why don't we talk about it more? One thing that could help the situation is if non-Muslims would begin to speak up about the issue to get people's attention. It would also be good to have open classes where people have the opportunity to actually learn about other religions to find out what the core of the beliefs are." Mursal suggests that more community conversation and educational opportunities would help dispel false notions about the Muslim religion and to build a stronger, more diverse community. Article editorial As disappointing as it is that "Punish a Muslim Day" is somehow a real topic of conversation, despite how utterly asinine the idea is on basically every level, it exposes otherwise under discussed issues of discrimination and can inspire groups and individuals to oppose it more directly. Every member of the campus community has the power to reject expressions of hate as intolerable or to allow them to permeate our culture. Let's be mindful of the space we create here and brave nonviolent confrontation of less-than inclusive words or actions in our classrooms, dorms, cafeterias and off-campus conversations. #YouAreWelcomeHere MUSLIM Aprii 2018 COURTESY OF OSBriHELGAZETTE VIA TWITTER A list of pro posed hate acts against Muslims was sent across England in Mar .

HOLLACEVILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu On March 21 "s episode of "Last Week Tonight with John Oliver", the host of the show spent a portion of time discussing Vice President Mike Pence's views on LGBT rights. At the end of the show, he told the audience that Pence's pet bunny, Marlon Bundo, had a book written about him by one of Pence's daughters, which was hitting bookstores that week. However, John Oliver also had a book about the Bunny Of The United States (BOTUS) up his sleeve. A day to remember Written by Jill Twiss and illustrated by EG Keller, "A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo" was almost painfully cute as Marlon Bundo narrated his day, hopping through the gardens and falling in love with a neighboring boy bunny named Wesley. The bunnies hop together through the lawn, through the house, and through some "very boring meetings with very boring people." When they decided that they never wanted to hop with anyone else again, Marlon and Wesley decided to get married. The Stinkbug, an obvious caricature of Mike Pence, opposed the marriage. However, when they put the marriage to a vote with all of Marlon's animal friends and neighbors, their marriage won out. They were allowed to be married. Beautifully written The book is sincerely delightful, despite having been initially written as a joke. The use of repetition and rhythm work wonderfully and the illustrations are charming, with funny little details thrown in (such as a stinkbug emblazoned on The Stinkbug's podium). While this book was short, it has made an impact. The book is currently sold out on Amazon, with over 180,000 copies sold within 48 hours (Pence's book has sold 100,000 copies to date). The Audible version has a starstudded voice cast, consisting of Jim Parsons, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Jeff Garlin, Ellie Kemper, John Lithgow, Jack McBrayer and RuPaul. The book is restocked and currently for sale online, so be sure to pick up a copy, as all proceeds from "A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo" are going to the Trevor Project and AIDS United.

NEXTLEVEL GAMING ONLINE EVAN MACINTOSH macinO01 @rangers. uwp. edu Historically, the "Star Wars: Battlefront" games have been lauded for their large-scale ground and space battles with rather enjoyable game play. However, with this last installment in the series, "Battlefront II", there has been a lot of animosity and negative feelings floating around involving the series. Predominantly, it stems from EA and their inane comments defending the game and its, initially absurd, progression system which consequently ruined the loot system. Had EA not fumbled with this, the game would have been perceived in a far less negative light than it was. Mechanics The class system in this game is very reminiscent of many shooters today, in that there are several weapons to choose from and many bonuses to apply to one's character. This is well and good, but because of this, there can be some strange ambiguity within a given class and even between classes. In addition, certain aspects of the characters, namely the heroes, feel very coarse and insufficiently thought-out. Specifically, the lightsaber combat feels very rudimentary, as if the characters are without technique, swinging baseball bats. Had they gone back to their roots for this second "reboot," mirroring the iconic rigid classes and refined mechanics of the other games, I would have had significantly less problems with the way the classes play as it would have made the multiplayer more entertaining Atmosphere One thing about this game that is much more solid and pleasing than the other parts is the visual and audio elements. If there is one facet of "Battlefront II" that captures the magic of "Star Wars", it is the game's blend of music and sound design. The music, while not composed by John Williams, is still a sound track that most certainly belongs in a piece of "Star Wars" media. The sounds of the blasters, soldiers, environments and vehicles are undoubtedly reminiscent of "Star Wars" as well. This is a boon because they are the most significant pieces of the game's world. Without a doubt, the game's loyal atmosphere COURTESY OF BAGOGAMES VIA FLICKR is the single biggest contribution to my final score for this game. Entertainment value While this is a "Battlefront" title, it feels too much like a "Battlefield" title, another franchise by the developer DICE. While the pacing of the action is nice, the frustration that can arise from an opposing player having a blatantly better weapon/upgrade is quite prominent. Many of my game play sessions lasted less than half an hour; I needed to take breaks because the competitive balancing is so awful. This infuriating multiplayer experience and brief, weak single-player campaign blend into a piece of failed entertainment that I cannot recommend.

April 18,2018 THE RANGER NEWS CULTURE | 5 From Robin Williams to "The Rock" ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp.edu As someone who grew up watching and rewatching "Jumanji", I was cautiously optimistic at the thought of a reboot, because in recent years, film and TV have not had a stellar record in the reboot department. Granted, when revamping old favorites, it is impossible to satisfy everyone, but one surefire way keep fans of the original happy is to keep what made the original good while adding a fresh spin. In the beginning, there was a board game The original "Jumanji", released in 1995 and starring the genius that was Robin Williams, introduced audiences to a vague and dangerous world hidden inside of a seemingly innocent board game. However, those drawn in by the pounding of drums soon realized that Jumanji itself is not so harmless. Complete with killer mosquitos, African bats and the looming threat of being sucked into the game itself, "Jumanji" was a thrill ride for the ages. That being said, I have a feeling that a heavy cloud of nostalgia may be influencing my opinions, to a point. At its core "Jumanji" was about finding your inner strength, learning to trust the people around you and finishing what you start—and yes 1 might be reaching here, but just go with me for a minute. Assuming 1 am not over-romanticizing one of my favorite childhood movies, and there really were deeper themes of self-realization, it is time to see how well the 2017 reboot stands up. Was it lost in translation? The first point to evaluate would be the plot. The original movie was not too heavy on plot, which was to finish the game. The reboot expands this by turning Jumanji into a video game and giving it a rough story about retrieving a powerful jewel. Giving the game an actual story and setting opens up the possibilities of extended universes and future sequels, though I t hink perpetuating the "Jumanji" franchise could have "Final Destination"-like effects. The second point would be the characters. In the original, the relationships between characters start off shaky and become more cemented as they help each other survive. "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" followed the same principle, only the characters were all the same age and had a basic knowledge of each other before the game began. Their personalities, while relatively r 1 ' - w > i l # > 1 1 & .i »' *1 1 f . COURTESY OF WWW.SPACE.CA Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the most recent "Jumanji 2" generic and stereotypical for teenagers, were fleshed out well enough, and this made their being trapped in adult bodies rather amusing. The chemistry between actors was fluid and each had their own funny quirks, but by far, the best performance had to be from Jack Black. I'm sure it is not the easiest thing to play a teenage, technologyobsessed girl trapped in an overweight man's body, but if anyone can do it, high-pitched voice and all, it is Jack Black. It was also funny to see Kevin Hart and Dwayne Johnson almost making fun of themselves and the types of characters they would normally play. Most notably when Johnson, as Smolder Bravestone constantly flinches away from danger and makes use of his smolder, or when Hart as Franklin "Mouse" Finbar constantly complains about his short stature. The delicate reboot balance My final note for the time being would be the references to the original film. Reboots and sequels walk a fine line between paying tribute, blatantly copying and totally diverging from the source material. The 2016 "Ghostbusters" simply recycled the first film's plot and added in some new jokes, making it predictable and a little disappointing. The 2016 "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" abandoned the original show's style and went for explosions over the ninja-like stealth. But "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle", in my personal opinion, managed to walk the line well, paying homage while still keeping it fresh. This Week In History: PEIlANP PET$MAKBllFE tiring today! The Titanic: A Tragedy at Sea RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu The sinking of the Titanic is one of the most famous shipwrecks in history, occurring early in the morning of April 15,1912, and resulting in over 1,500 deaths due to improper safety regulations. The Titanic's construction lasted two full years, spanning from 1909 to 1911, and was heralded as the most advanced ship to date, a true luxury vessel. It contained new technology, such as watertight bulkhead compartments, and could carry nearly 2,500 passengers each trip with almost 900 crew members. So what went wrong? Departure The Titanic departed from Southampton, England, on April 10,1912. It was set to make several stops along the way to its destination of New York and was all the buzz, being the largest ship ever built. Many of those aboard the Titanic were wealthy elites, officials and celebrities, though out of the three classes, the third class passengers made up the bulk of the riders, totalling over 700. When it departed, the number of souls on board, crew included, was about 2,240. Spotting the ice The first three days of the voyage were calm and presented little problems. It was not until April 14 that the Titanic crew began to receive reports about ice from nearby ships. Around 11:30, out of the fog, the crew spotted a large iceberg and sounded the alarms. The ship made a quick turn, and to the passengers on the deck, it appeared that the danger had been narrowly avoided. Unfortunately, beneath the surface of the water, the Questions about our culture articles? Contact Hollace Villarreal. villa068@rangers.uwp.edu. Culture Events iceberg had caused a nearly 300-foot wide slash below the waterline of the ship.When the captain and crew went to investigate the damage and saw what had happened, evacuation began. Evacuation was haphazard and poorly planned. There were 16 lifeboats and four inflatables on the ship, which could only carry 1,100 passengers if loaded to full capacity, which was far less than the number of passengers on the ship. Despite it being woefully inadequate, this did surpass British safety requirements at the time. The first lifeboat was lowered with a mere 28 people out of the 65 it was designed to fit and multiple boats after also faced similar capacity problems. The captain estimated that the boat would only stay afloat one and a half hours maximum, but luckily for those on board, it floated for three. Safety Hazards The Titanic's state-of-the-art watertight bulkheads were faulty, as the walls that separate compartments from one another were only a few feet above water level, meaning that if the ship tipped, water would pour over the top of one wall and into the next compartment. The front of the ship became unbalanced when this exact scenario occurred and began to sink faster than the rest of the ship. At 2:20 am, the ship finally sank with some crew still left aboard and many of the lower class passengers having never escaped to the lifeboats. When those who had escaped to the lifeboats were rescued, only 705 survived. The Titanic serves as a sad reminder of human error and the importance of safety standards and regulations.

Three days after denouncing Assad and his allies, Trump wrote, "Never said when an attack on Syria would take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all!" on Twitter. "Not so soon at all" seems to suggest that a response may never occur. of The Ranger News. Turning to ignorance: TPUSA Parkside s newest student org has suspect origins RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Turning Point USA is a college conservative group with over 1,000 chapters across our nation, and it is dedicated to educating young conservatives about fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government. They are known for pulling interesting stunts on campuses to promote their organization, but not without some good old incendiary actions to cause a bit of controversy. They claim to promote free speech and have posters that read things like "Socialism: ideas so good they have to be mandatory ""Taxation is theft" and "The Real Free Speech Zone", paired with images such as police officers with batons about to attack a citizen,. The organization has been under fire multiple times in the past for illegal campaign activity and racial bias and have their very own "Professor Watch List", which consists of professors who disagree with conservatives. It sounds like something HUAC would have done in the 1930's Red Scare. As of recently, we have gotten our very own chapter of this organization at UW-Parkside. I would like to start by saying that I do enjoy the idea of free speech and the free speech ball on campus was a lovely idea. I participated by writing "respect should be the default" on it. When I was asked about what I had wrote on the ball by a fellow classmate, the first thing to come out of his mouth in response was "No. Respect should be earned." I was somewhat baffled that his response to my opinion was "no", so I explained why I believe respect ought to be the default and could be lost. He responded by telling me that he wrote on the ball that "life was hard and people needed to get over it". I was at a loss for words as I walked away, nearly late to class. On my journey back to class, I was somewhat stumped. As an organization that promotes free speech, why did this person not understand what free speech was and that I was entitled to my opinion about respect? Why did he tell me "no"? This is an example of how now, and in the past, this person has thought of free speech as something only he is entitled to, criticising and policing everyone else's opinions. This demonstration fell flat in the regard of educating people such as this classmate. He used the ball to argue other people's opinions, not respect them. I will admit I do lean left, but TPUSA is yet another disheartening disappointment of an organization that could actually lend some legitimacy to the conservative movement. Obviously, their reputation precedes them from protesting safe spaces with a grown man wearing a diaper, to having one of their own members of color expose them for internal racism. If TPUSA cannot educate college students on the simple principle of what free speech means, how do they expect to educate anyone about the values of being conservative? I'd like to welcome our own chapter of TPUSA to the campus but warn them: be cautious in the way you proceed with your education because plenty of chapters in other schools have left a lot to be desired and made a mockery of your organization. I hope you can do better. Rory Larson is a senior majoring in history. The Conservative Ranger Governor Scott Walker's accomplishments Questions about opinions, editorials? Contact Ethan Costello, mitoOl 2@ran>>ers.uwp.edu. JIMMY GRAHAM graha028@rangers. uwp. edu In October of 2017, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker announced that he would be running for a third term. During his first two terms, Governor Walker has achieved much. From historically low unemployment to freezing college tuition, the governor has greatly impacted the state of Wisconsin for the better. Under Scott Walker's leadership, Wisconsin has achieved 2.9 percent unemployment, the lowest in the state's history. The last time the state unemployment was nearly that low was in 1999 under Republican Governor Tommy Thompson. Also, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Wisconsin is ranked number six out of all 50 states for lowest unemployment. In 2014, under Governor Walker, the bottom state income tax rate was lowered from 4.4 percent to 4.0 percent. This adjustment has help put more money into the pockets of many Wisconsin residents. The Governor has also tried to help lower taxes for individuals by softening the marriage penalty. Before Walker, the marriage penalty made it so that individuals who filed their taxes jointly ended up paying more in taxes than they would have if they filed independently. Along with lower income taxes, many corporations and businesses have benefitted from manufacturing and agricultural tax credit benefits under Scott Walker. These benefits have helped businesses expand and have helped in creating jobs. Currently, Scott Walker's administration has put more money into K-12 education than ever before. An extra $200 has been put forth for every student, and an additional $204 increase per student is planned for this coming year. As a result, Wisconsin's ACT scores are some of the highest in the country. On top of that, Wisconsin's graduation rate is one of the best in the country. One the biggest things the Governor has done that has impacted college students is freezing college tuition for all undergraduate students. For the past six years, tuition has been frozen in Wisconsin. This freeze has helped make college more affordable for many students. Along with the tuition freeze, Wisconsin's government is also working with financial institutions to help college graduates refinance their student loans. The aforementioned actions are only a few of Scott Walker's accomplishments. I am in support of what the Governor has done in Wisconsin. Personally, I will support the Governor in the 2018 election. Also, I would encourage anyone who likes the direction our state is going in to also vote for the governor in the upcoming election.

JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers, uwp.edu A probable chemical attack was carried out in Syria by President Assad's forces last Saturday, April 7, in the city of Douma. That city has seen much violence since the beginning of Syria's still-ongoing civil war in 2011, but the apparent chemical attack has brought unprecedented brutality to Douma. Chemical weapons are banned by the Chemical Weapons Convention; Syria is ostensibly part of that convention, yet it continues to use chemical weapons. The President talks back The Syrian government's actions have garnered international condemnation. U.S. President Donald Trump took to Twitter to voice his ire, claiming "President Putin, Russia, and Iran are responsible for backing Animal Assad" and also threatening that they would have a "big price to pay." He has suggested that price may be more cruise missile attacks. The implications of action Taking no military action at all for the attack is certainly the best option. There is no reason to believe another volley of cruise missiles will persuade Assad any more than the last time the U.S. did it, and there is reason to believe that a stronger response—whatever that may entail— could put US forces in direct combat against Russian and Iranian troops. Further deterioration of relations COURTESY OF EN.KREMLIN.RU President Assad is accused by the U.S. of using chemical weapons against his own people and tensions between U.S. aliies and Russian allies is rising. Community Connections: Take pride in LGBTQ resources KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu There are many resources available for Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer (LGBTQ) students on campus and in the community. UW-Parkside has strived to be a safe place. Attitudes have gotten better towards LGBTQ students, but there is still room for improvement. UW-Parkside has a LGBTQ Resource Center on campus in Wyllie Hall. The mission statement says, "The mission of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside LGBTQ Resource Center is to provide a safe, inclusive, and comfortable environment on campus for LGBTQ and Allied students, faculty, staff, and community." It has books, movies, and informational material available. The center also hosts things like Queer Thanksgiving, Safe Zone Training, Lavender Celebration—which honors graduating members of the LGBTQ community— and educational events. Safe Zone Training was created to reduce homophobia and heterosexism on campus. It is a series of training totaling approximately 4.5 hours. This training is a great way for faculty, staff and students leaders to show their support of the LGBTQ community. They are currently working on training dates for the Fall 2018 semester. In addition to the LGBTQ Resource Center, Rainbow Alliance is a studentlead organization that advocates for supporting and educating about those whose sexuality, gender, romantic orientation and/ or gender expression does not conform to traditional norms. They provide educational events as well as social events. The meetings are every Wednesday at noon in the LGBTQ Resource Center. with either state could mean disaster for the U.S. and the world. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis spoke on April 12 in the Pentagon, attempting to temper Trump's words and calling for more deliberation on how and why the U.S. should respond. About the U.S.'s strategy in Syria, he stated that the they were trying to "stop the murder of innocent people, but on a strategic level it's how do we keep this from escalating out of control." Mattis is referring to the tensions between the U.S. and Syria's allies, Iran and Russia. An uncertain future Mattis has had a long military career and was a major general in the Iraq War, so his advice is informed by much experience. The world is in a dangerous order. Trump even wrote on Twitter, "Our relationship with Russia is worse now than it has ever been, and that includes the Cold War." Trump is trying to say the right thing, but his knowledge of recent history is clearly lacking—the two nations' discourse has grown increasingly accusatory, but they are hardly aiming ICBMs at each other. As US military officials are attempting to reverse (or at least delay) Trump's military response, it is becoming less clear what that response may look like or if it may arrive at all. The UK and France too are weighing military action. One can only hope the West's leaders tread lightly in Syria. Joseph Canning is a junior majoring in computer science.

Ruxpin asked, his voice a low hiss. This reporter could not answer, as this is not an opinion piece. Ranger Bear sniffing out his prey: us. Ranger Bear seemed to have been alerted by the noise and the flash. He stomped over to us, dirt from the floor shaking with every step. T. Ruxpin and this reporter held our breath, trying to hide. It was futile. Ranger Bear stood in front of us, glaring down behind his sewn-on eyes. "Who are you?" The Bearly News asked, holding up a recorder to the Bear. All we received is an COURTESY OF THE ARCHIVIST audio recording of heavy breathing. However, he did take off his mask to reveal: The face of Ranger Bear Professor Carpwitz, the advising professor for The Bearly News and "Feralglow", the school's literary magazine. "Is this why you've been missing meetings?" The Bearly News asked, shaky hand holding out the recording device. The professor did not speak, but instead turned to T. Ruxpin. "You've shown school spirit," Ranger Bear said. The Bearly News would like to disclaim that, though we now knew that Professor Carpwitz was inside the suit, he still did not move his mouth to speak. The voice seemed to be coming from the head of the costume, held out in the professor's hands. The Bearly News would also like to point out the extraordinary school spirit that T. Ruxpin had displayed in the past, including going to a sports game once a semester, attending an after-class activity once a month, and going to the Bridge for free food every day at noon. In more recent times, he happened to be wearing a Parkside hoodie on School Spirit Day. By all accounts, he was wild about our fine institution. A new Ranger Bear "You have been granted the honor of becoming Ranger Bear," Ranger Bear said, lowering the head onto the shocked T. Ruxpin. This reporter took this distracted opportunity to run to the bedroom, locking the door. Hopefully the editor of the Bearly News can receive this, and the artists rendition of the bear I have included, in time for help to arrive.

The serial trespasser took time out of his schedule to pander to some ungrateful gremlins, but he had no idea that he would never arrive at his destination. The Biology Club tried to identify the rabbit's trail based on DNA tests from melted marshmallows and crushed eggshells. The Psychology Club looked to examine the mentality of suspected seniors. Campus police looked for anything they could to incriminate specific students and find that glorified mascot, yet their search was Peepless. Even T. Ruxpin—a famous PI working on campus—failed to turn up any evidence. In fact, no one has heard from him in several weeks. This must indicate that the search for Ranger Bear is going swimmingly. With the faltering of the search, it appears that the whining munchkins of southern Wisconsin have finally been dealt justice by a group of anonymous vigilantes. Easter turned out to be an April Fools' joke all along and has now been cancelled for all eternity.

Parkside Unites: A March Against Hate University of Wisconsin-Parkside students, faculty, staff joined in a walk around campus to send a message of dignity and respect for all Students, faculty, and staff march around campus on March 10 with signs promoting respect and understanding; shown here, marchers walk outside The Rita. NAOMI DORNFELD dornfO01 @rangers. uwp.edu In the last weeks of March, members of the Dignity and Respect Task force, a student, staff and faculty led organization, began discussing how Parkside could be proactive in the campus' mission and message of inclusion. After some discussion, the team decided to pursue a public march on site. Students were encouraged to attend and invitations were extended to the community. Every voice counts Before the halls were bustling with students attending morning classes on Friday, April 20, a small group of volunteers from the Dignity and Respect Taskforce, in shirts marked "Every Voice Counts," carried poster-board, construction paper and boxes filled with markers to Mid-Main Place. Sign-Making began at 9:00 a.m., where a dozen early-attendees got to work creating messages like "UWP: NO PLACE FOR HATE." Some groups, such as the Black Student Union worked together, writing, "BSU Stands Against Hate." Students, faculty and staff slowly trickled in and the room was transformed into a buzzing collective of willing participants by 10:00 a.m. No place for hate To kick things off, a Dignity and Respect Taskforce student leader, Krystal Slay, welcomed the crowd, expressed her appreciation for the positive turnout and gave instructions for the group to follow campus police officer Kurt Bergendahl along the route. Participants exited through the Mid-Main Place doors in file and followed the sidewalk to the Student Center Terrace. Marchers held their signs proudly and chatted casually along the path. A cluster of voices in the middle of the chain rose briefly, chanting "Parkside is great. No place for hate," which echoed sentimentally, but fizzled after about twenty paces. Geese gawked somewhat concerned at the commotion, but upon realizing the event was more of a peace rally than an uprising, did not protest or attack. COURTESY OF ALYSSA NEPPER One Step at a Time Upon the crowd's arrival at the Student Center Terrace, Slay greeted the collective from a podium and welcomed people to share from the mic. The intent of the event was outlined as an initiative to promote dignity and respect for all. Though not about gun violence in particular, coordinators recognized that the date of the march was the 10-year anniversary of the shootings at Columbine High School - a tragedy that compels conversation on the value of life and the importance of coming See UNITED page 3 Parkside alumnus runs for Kenosha county sheriff Andy Berg, active Kenosha community member, discusses motivations and platform AUSTIN AUSTIN KRIE KRIEGER GER board supervisor in his second term, services somehow and I've never sheriff. plans to offset costs for things such Krieg004@rangers.uwp.edu UW-Parkside alumnus Andy Berg has announced his candidacy for Kenosha Sheriff, running against incumbent David Beth. Elections for sheriff are to be held this fall. Berg has served in the military for over 19 years, as a Kenosha county board supervisor in his second term, as a correctional sergeant for 12 years and is executive director of Kenosha's Garden of Eatin' a nonprofit community garden. Motivation for running Berg recounts when he was a child his parents saying, "my parents always told me to get into civil services somehow and I've never really thought about it to the extent that they thought about it." Though Berg's participation in the community seems to be centered around some sort of civil service. Despite not being a police officer, Berg believes that his experience as a correctional sergeant "is in the wheelhouse" of what it takes to be a successful Building a better department Berg would also like to work to bring the department into a more productive progress through things such as grants provided to the department. Through these grants, Berg plans to offset costs for things such as materials and, most importantly, training for deputies. Training is one of the most important tools in a profession like policing as Berg states, "otherwise you get kind of stale, if you can increase your training you're becoming a better deputy and becoming a better department."

TYLER STEINSDORFER stein078@rangers. uwp. edu On Monday, April 26 at 2:00 p.m., Assistant Professor Jackie Arcy, a member of UW-Parkside communication department that specializes in media, led a group of students in a fake news workshop as a part of UW-Parkside's COMM Week in order to teach about the dangers of fake news and how to differentiate it from real news. Professor Arcy defines fake news as being news that is "created to deliberately misinform" the reader and often comes from "hyper partisan blogs." Prevalence of fake news Professor Arcy went on to state that there is "something more emotional about fake news." These fake news stories tend to align more with people's extreme views, and as a result validates their opinions. It is much more profitable to create these stories as there are no costs for expenses such as photography and research. In addition, there is no legal accountability for stories that are fake so the creators of these materials face little consequences for creating them. As two-thirds of adults get their news from social media outlets, many adults are exposed to a large amount of fake news articles whether they know it or not. The workshop Professor Arcy gave several tips for determining if an article is fake news or not. She described that it is important to check the article's source, author, data, sources, writing style, other sources and one's own biases. To test the students' analytical skills, Professor Arcy presented an activity for everyone to participate in to see if they could determine if a particular article is fake news or not. She handed seven different articles for groups of students to look at and try to figure out whether the articles were satire, legitimate news, fake news or news with extreme bias. As modern society is saturated with fake news, one can only hope that people will take a news articles with a grain of salt and check if it is actually factual.

May 2.2Q18 THE RANGER NEWS CAMPUS NEWS | 3 Briefs Additions to parenting room in library JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers. uwp. edu The UW-Parkside library staff has continually worked to make additions to their library for the benefit of the university's students. A wide variety of students attend the school, and some of them can face obstacles to their education. New parents are one such student demographic, but recent additions to the parenting room in the library can help to make their lives easier. The parenting room is a study space designed to accommodate parents and their children. It has existed for about a year, but since then the room has had numerous additions including a reclining chair, a CD player with nursery rhymes, and a wall-mounted felt board with cut-out characters. Parenting essentials are also included such as a changing table, sink, soap, and a mirror. Though reservations are not possible, a privacy wall splits the room such that it can be used by two parents and their children at once. It is located near to the children's Literacy Lab area with picture books and other simple books on the second floor of the library. The area is designed for children of all ages to use and features comfortable beanbag seating as well as games. Originally, the parenting room was a suggestion from a student, and the library staff made it a reality. Student comments and suggestions regarding the library are always welcome and can be sent to askus@ uwp.edu for consideration. Earth Day KRYSTAL DODGE thom008@rangers. uwp. edu On April 21, Campus Activities and Engagement organized an Earth Day clean up event. Breakfast was provided in the Brickstone. Volunteers worked at their sites from 9 a.m. until noon. Volunteers were also giving commemorative t-shirts. Earth Day was started in 1970. It gave voice to emerging consciousness and put environmental concerns on the front page. It is great to see UW-Parkside taking an active role in cleaning up the community. You do not have to wait until next Earth Day to take part in cleaning up our planet. There are many small things you can do every day to make a difference.

Digital Design Fabrication Lab launches New lab in The Rita allows students to bring ideas to life l i J J otn/lrtntn tiiAlllrl iirpntl KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu The College of Arts and Humanities hosted a soft launch for the Digital Design and Fabrication Lab on April 18 for the students and members of the community, which featured a tour and demonstration of several of the lab's features. This was followed by a panel of department faculty and other members of administration who have been instrumental in making this lab a reality. The panel featured Fireside theater employee Nate Stamper, graphic design professor Carey Watters, art professor Trenton Baylor and theater art professor Jody Sekas. Colleges strive for continuous improvement, and consequently, UW-Parkside is constantly seeking to improve and enhance their facilities in order to remain relevant and competitive. With technology and digitalization becoming aspects of our everyday life, the College of Arts and Humanities wanted to come up with a way that students can be competitive in a digital world. Chancellor Debbie Ford said the lab has "a goal to make sure that our students are prepared to live, work and contribute in this digital world." The digital lab is a tool that will enhance students creative problem solving skills by encouraging new ideas and critical thinking. Students will leam how to use the machines with the intention of teaching the students how to turn ideas into designs and then create the objects. Scott Wallenberg from Modine Manufacturing Company said that math and science students would greatly benefit from learning these skills and makes them more competitive in the job market. The conception and creation of the lab took a little over two years. Professor Baylor submitted a sabbatical in the fall of 2016, and a proposal for funding came in February 2017. The lab is finally up and running in April 2017. With the current technologically advanced landscape of the modern job market, institutions of higher learning must incorporate technological education in order to remain relevant and competitive. UW-Parkside's addition of the Digital Design and Fabrication lab is a step in the right direction to prepare students for life after college.

The event was held in Kenosha at the Italian American club which is located at the corner of 52nd Street and 22nd Avenue. Competition for a cause The Kenosha Literacy Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and teaching English literacy skills such as reading, writing and speaking to adults and families. It has helped educate the community since 1965. Most of what the organization does involves classes and tutoring, though they hold some fundraising events throughout the year. The corporate spelling bee is one such event, and it has been held since 1999, making this latest spelling bee the 19th one held. The spelling bee is a good-natured, themed competition (the theme this year was Harry Potter) in which teams are tasked with correctly spelling words, and the loser is eliminated in each round until a winner is determined. It is called the corporate spelling bee because the teams consist of members of local businesses and organizations. UW-Parkside was one of two Kenosha area colleges that had a team at the event as Gateway Technical College had a team of its own. Four students comprised the UW-Parkside team: Rachele Schwer, Kailee Dunker, Bianca Ruffolo, and Marcelo Hernandez. UW-Parkside students have participated in the past, but these four students took it upon themselves to organize a team for this year. A positive experience Kailee Dunker, a senior who is majoring in political science and liberal studies with a certificate in project management, wrote to the Ranger News regarding her experience via email.

When asked if she would recommend participating in the spelling bee to other students, she wrote, "Yes, because it is a unique experience. I was surprised and impressed by the number of people in the community who came to support [the Kenosha Literacy Council]."

The sets, the acting, and the music all worked together to make a nice end to the 2017-2018 theater season, and it was a perfect way to kick off finals. The story is set in a vaguely 1950's scene, with telephones, elevators and mini bicycles to modernize the myth, but it has a timeless feel to it. Orpheus (Kyle Racas) is a famous musician and, indeed, he seems more interested in his music than his bride-to-be (at least while she was alive), and he hears it played out by his muse (Kimberly Hetelle). Eurydice (Christiane Laskowski), the star, is his fiance and she loves him, though she seems to feel unappreciated and is distinctly more booksmart than he is. She is mourning the loss of her father, who will not be there for her wedding, though she is happy to be married. Eurydice's father (Jarrod Langwinski) is in the Underworld writing letters to his daughter and trying to devise a way to get them to her. The Lord of the Underworld (Ryan Zierk) finds one and makes his way up to the world of the living. He taunts Eurydice with the letter and leads her to his house, away from her own wedding party. She dies, seemingly from being pushed down his stairs. In the Underworld, Eurydice does not remember anything. Her father recognizes her and, as he regained his memory by remembering her name, he sets out to protect her and keep her safe in the Underworld (though the Stones (Alexa Uselmann, Joe Schwaller, and Destiny Kent) disapprove). Meanwhile, Orpheus is going Eurydice played by Christiane Laskowski(right), and her father played by Jarrod Langwinski (left). mad with grief and trying every way to get messages to Eurydice, trying to save her from the Underworld. He sends her a letter and a book, showing that he really does care about her. When Eurydice remembers everything, she is anxious to see Orpheus, but she is enjoying her time with her father. The Lord of the Underworld (dressed as a child) tells her she is to be his bride and she refuses, but we know that he is not going to take that "no" lightly. Orpheus manages to get to the Underworld by following a note. The Lord of the Underworld tells him that he can have Eurydice back, but only if he does not look at her. Eurydice is reluctant to leave her father, but he walks her away (an echo of a traditional walk down the aisle). Eurydice cries out for Orpheus. He looks back. They argue for a moment before they are ripped from each other. Eurydice returns to the Underworld to see the room her father constructed for her gone, and that her father dipped himself into the River of Forgetting. She too dips herself in the River, after writing a note for Orpheus. Orpheus arrives to see them both by the River, asleep, and to find that he too has forgotten. Memorable moments The play was amazing, and the actors were great, but the set stole the show. The raining elevator that brought the dead into the Underworld and rose from the floor was, of course, incredible, but the stationary scenery—the floating candles that glowed like stars when the spotlights were down, the mosaic tile that was reminiscent of the Greek mythit was the little details that really brought this play to life. Christiane Laskowski and Kyle Racas had amazing performances with a great command of the comedy and drama that the roles required, but the best moment for me was when Jarrod Langwinski was alone on the stage. After attempting to send a letter to his daughter, he "walked down the aisle" with his arm out, pretending to be there with her. After such a heartfelt reading of his letter, I was almost in tears by the time he ran offstage to his job. It was one of the best performances I have ever seen at UW-Parkside. Overall, the play was amazing and I highly recommend everyone attend next-year's plays. ~DR.

VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING ONLINE JACK PURVES purveOO1 @rangers. uwp. edu "Night in the Woods" is an adventure game with a focus on narrative. The game takes place in the fictional, decaying former mining town of Possum Springs located in the rust belt. You play as Mae Borowski, a twenty-year-old college dropout (and an anthropomorphic cat) trying to get back into life at home while still living as a delinquent. Engaging Story Memorable characters drive an intriguing tale. Past the everyday activities of a delinquent, the story delves into a tale of the deteriorating town of Possum Springs and the "paranormal" activity haunting it. Some surprisingly fitting dry humor is abundant in the dialogue between characters which brings a certain lightheadedness to an otherwise unsettling and melancholic story. Beyond the plot itself, the characters throughout are surprisingly relatable. Whether it be putting cups over their ears, obsessing over horror movies, or just about anything else, the actions of every character leave a lasting impression. Captivating atmosphere Despite its condition, the atmosphere of Possum Springs is dynamic and full of character. This is due to both the art style and soundtrack, which make an otherwise dreary town look appealing. The sound design in general is very well done. From the sounds of leaves blowing in the wind, to the subtle rainfall of an overcast day, to the sounds of shoes scuffing on the ground, everything sounds superb. Narrative-focused mechanics Ultimately, "Night in the Woods" is "experienced" more than it is "played". The game implements platformer-esque mechanics for getting around and it allows you to interact with others as you please, but you are ultimately pushed forward through a mostly linear story. This is the one thing that hampers 'Night in the Woods", as it limits replayability when it comes to the main storyline. Fortunately, it also offers plenty of enthralling side stories as compensation to discover throughout one or more playthroughs of the game. All in all, "Night in the Woods" can send players on a philosophical trip that explores the smaller aspects of life. It features a memorable cast of main characters, several lovable side characters and plenty of lore in which to immerse oneself. All this is supported by a charming art style, a fantastic soundtrack and a lack of bugs and glitches. While the replayability is limited by the linear storyline, the amount of rich story that you can uncover more than makes up for it. With its story, "Night in the Woods" set out to leave a lasting impression, and it sure does; if you're looking for a nice game to play while wrapped in a cozy blanket and having an existential crisis, this game is just what you're looking for.

May 2,2018 THE RANGER NEWS CULTURE | 5 "Toni Erdmann" a.k.a. "Awkward silence: The movie" ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers. uwp. edu Over the course of the past year, UW-Parkside has played host the some of the most critically acclaimed foreign films of 2016 and '17, ranging from musical comedies to historical dramatizations. In my personal opinion, the majority of these films have been engaging and interesting, but only one has inspired a second watching, and others have been genuinely difficult to get through. The most recent addition to the latter list would be the final film of the series, "Toni Erdmann". "Toni Erdmann" is the story of a driven career woman and the quirky father that turns her life upside down in a matter of days and manages to show her that a little humor never hurt anyone. Sounds like a real gutbusting, heartstring-pulling adventure, doesn't it? Well, most of the critics would have to agree "Toni Erdmann" is likely one of the highest rated films from the Foreign Film Series, recieving a 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, as well as a 7.5 out of 10 on IMDB, not to mention all the awards. This one film was nominated for 126 different awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Ines Conradi, played by Sandra Huller, BAFTA, and more than half of the nominations were for best film. Of the 126 award nominations, "Toni Erdmann" actually won 51. Reviewers all over the world have been all too eager to throw praise at the film, saying that movie-goers are in for a laugh out loud, thought provoking treat. A.O. Scott of the New York Times went so far as to claim that 'Toni Erdmann" was "By a wide margin the funniest almost-threehour German comedy you will ever see." Personally? I think that barely misses being an insult to German comedy, because there cannot be that many "almost-three-hour" German comedies. POLAND PETS MAKE LIFE BETTER! naked In film "Toni Erdmann." Blink and you might miss the genius I have no idea what I missed while watching the film, but it must have been something big, because there is no way I would rewatch this film, let alone nominate it for an Oscar. I have never minded a dramatic or thoughtful pause or lull in dialog, but when that lull lasts upwards of ten seconds, and the only payout is a middle-aged man putting in a set of glaringly false teeth? Call me crazy but that does not fit my definition of hilarious. The characters were hard to identify with as well, and may be that is because of my young age and lack of life experience, but they all seemed so humorless or shallow or COURTESY OF FWWEEKLY.COM just plain dull. Giving credit where credit is due In all fairness, the last half hour of the film was a complete departure from the rest of the somber attempts at comedy and was startlingly funny. However, when I say "startlingly", I do meant that. Seriously, if you are not in the mood to see a bunch of nude people awkwardly interacting after having already interacted awkwardly for two hours, just skip this one and come back hoping next year's Foreign Film Series has a better selection. That's what I'll be doing. This Week In History: The Los Angeles Riots: Civil unrest and violence RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu The Los Angeles Riots are one of the most contentious and heavily debated events of the civil rights movements in the 90's. In the United States, there has been a history of tensions between law enforcement and ethnic minorities, and that issue is once again coming to the forefront of American politics. Often times, when we look back into history we are able to clearly define people and events as good or bad. The Los Angeles Riots are a grey area of recent American history and a sad reminder of why civil rights are so important. Excessive force Anyone who keeps up with recent news has heard this debate quite frequently as of late—how much force is too much force? This was the cast in the arrest of an African American man named Rodney King in 1992. Rodney King had been beaten continuously for over a minute by four officers. They claimed they had already tried to subdue him once and that he had thrown them off. The beating was the only part that was caught on video, however, and the jury, which was mostly white, chose to acquit the officers on April 29,1992. Soon, over three hundred individuals had gathered outside the courthouse to protest the acquittal of the policemen. Deadly force Tensions between the police and the African American community were just one of the causes of the riots. In 1991, a Korean shop owner shot a young African American girl that she believed was stealing a bottle of juice from her store. The shopkeeper shot her after the girl struck her, killing her before the police arrived. It was an example of deadly force that was used against minorities for minor crimes. The shopkeeper was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and fined $500, serving no time behind bars. This was one of the many things that led to tension between the African American community of Los Angeles and the growing Korean population. It also demonstrated the failure of the law to protect the African American community. The tensions these events caused were just two small parts of a much larger web of injustice. The lack of conviction of the police officers was just the final straw that broke the camel's back. The riots The riots included looting, assault and arson among other crimes and much of the violence was law enforcement against African Americans and African Americans against Koreans. The circumstances that led up to the riots were just as awful as the aftermath. 63 were dead, over 2,300 were injured, and over 12,000 were arrested. Koreans experienced unprecedented levels of violence directed at them in the days of rioting and received little protection from the police. The California National Guard and military were both called to put an end to the rioting. The Los Angeles Riots are an example of why police-minority relations are still strained. The failure of communities to address this issue and bring about change can end in disaster. The riots only occured after tensions finally boiled over. The Los Angeles Riots are an emotional reminder that ethnic minorities in the United States have had a long and difficult history in our country and that the demand for change cannot be ignored.

Contact Ethan Costello, coste012@ rangers .u wp .edu. ETHAN COSTELLO coste012@ rangers, uwp.edu The past several months in Wisconsin have been trailed with the ever-looming promise of economic glory to come. Gov. Walker has incessantly pressed for an investment of Foxconn in southeastern Wisconsin, and the corporation is all but confirmed for the construction of their facilities. Yet, despite all the alarums raised against the companies, our Chancellor Debbie Ford seems much too eager to welcome them here with open arms. Walker and other wealthy interests—businesses and politicianskeep proclaiming this deal will bring about a stimulation of the Wisconsin economy like nothing else before it. The promise of 13,000 jobs within the proposed Foxconn facility alone, plus 10,000 constructions jobs and interest from 500 businesses is most certainly an enticing idea because most assuredly, Wisconsin is suffering. The world is suffering. What they do not tell you is that these jobs are possible through questionable means to the point of honest reappraisal. The hacked-out deal calls for complete disregard of environmental regulations. Local newspapers have reported that air, water and land regulations are being discarded to accommodate for Foxconn's unhealthy requirements. The corporation is expected to pump an unsustainable amount of water from Lake Michigan for use in its facility—our clean drinking water—and will not be held accountable for fully returning their debt, and with no obligation to return it pollution free. There are also economic concerns. The proffered incentive package is now up to $4 billion to be paid to Foxconn as they work towards A Message from Nature: The zero waste lifestyle: a trendy illusion ADELANA AKINDES akindO01 @rangers. uwp. edu I first found out about the zero waste movement a few years ago after stumbling across a video on YouTube. The woman, Lauren Singer, had gone a year living a 'zero waste lifestyle' and all the waste she did produce was concealed within a single mason jar. She used homemade toothpaste, bamboo toothbrushes, reusable upcycled razors and glass jars instead of plastic tupperware. It seemed impossibly green, chic and eco-friendly. Zero waste thinking has its advantages, mainly by drawing constant attention to the issue of waste. By committing to a zero waste lifestyle, this awareness becomes instilled into everyday decisions and thoughts. One takes into consideration how much waste they "produce", how much is thrown away and what in their lives can be used more than once. One may learn to value things that last longer, that have more staying power in one's life and which are not easily disposed of. Yet the issue of waste cannot be solved from individual choices about what to buy. We can try navigating the market to find products that fit a zero waste standard: no plastic packaging, long their job creation mark. Where is this money coming from? The taxes that we are all paying. Economists expect Wisconsin's gross domestic product (GDP) to increase by $51 billion dollars, but that figure does not indicate impact on standard of living. What is likely going to happen is that the thousands of workers will not be paid their true worth to the company; the workers' value will be sent upwards towards managers and administrators, and the money made from us Wisconsin workers will be funneled overseas to the Taiwanese based company, benefiting wealthy interests at the hard-to-see detriment of Wisconsin laborers. Chancellor Ford and other education administrators at UWMilwaukee and Gateway seem to willfully ignore these considerations. In several press releases and reports, Chancellor Ford anticipates the need to provide Foxconn with a host of educated workers—a docile workforce. The question is why? This will look very good for the Chancellor and UW-Parkside's Administrations, won't it? This would lead to more revenue from further investment in the campus from outside sources. Some would argue is a good thing, but judging by how our administration handles our money—with actions like cutting programs and faculty while spending money on aesthetic projects like Wyllie Hall — further investment would not be set aside for the students and faculty who desperately need the funding. I urge the Chancellor to reconsider this partnership.

Yet when one goes grocery shopping with their reusable bags and mason jars, buying items in bulk, it is impossible to notice all of the other items, the wasteful, one-use items which are still the norm. It is the mindset of capitalism, hyperfocused on increasing profit, that is the root of the problem. It is this constant overarching system of overproduction and misuse of resources which ultimately needs to change for 'zero waste' to be a realistic vision. Simply because waste does not reside in your own home, does not make it any less of a reality somewhere else. No matter what the consumer chooses to do with the waste in their own home, it is still being made on a mass scale. The consumer is not the true producer of waste. When one wishes to rid one's life of plastic products for example, they are only navigating a maze. Whether you use plastic or not, it's still being produced and mass distributed on a grand and global scale. What the zero waste lifestyle does is bring to a person's attention the materials they use, where these materials come from, and where these materials are going. It is in this way that conscious consumerism is as an effective step for the consumer. Yet in order for any large-scale, long-term solutions to be made with environmental degradation, it is time for the true producers of waste, the giant corporations of this planet, to consciously consume.

Student media across the country threatened, especially in Kansas ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE SUNFLOWER CHANCE SWAIM, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF They lock doors. They steal newspapers from racks. They shoot high school magazines with rifles. They set them on fire. They confiscate cameras. They threaten to pull funding. "They" are censors, and you don't have to look far to find them. Last spring, administrators locked Hutchinson Community College's student newspaper staff out of its newsroom after a series of articles exposing administrative and faculty bullying. This year, Butler Community College's student newspaper had copies stolen from the racks when they printed a story about a football player's arrest for murder in another state. Eisenhower High students burned and shot copies of a student publication that featured an illustration of a Ku Klux Klan member as a Trump supporter. Shawnee Mission North student journalists had cameras confiscated by a principal for covering a protest with which he disagreed. Emporia State's student government cut its student newspaper budget following an outstanding series of investigative stories uncovering sexual misconduct by a faculty member. The examples listed above have all happened to student journalists and their publications in Kansas in the past year. But the problem is not unique to Kansas. Student newsrooms across the country have come under increased threats this year, including The Sunflower, at a time when student newspapers are more important than Community Connections: Slay your finals with these awesome study tips KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu It is that time of the semester again. We are all struggling to earn good grades and finish the semester strong. There are a variety of things you can do, study tips you can try and resources you can utilize to help you achieve the grades you want and need. Do not let the end of the semester stress get you down. According to Deloitte Center for Higher Education Excellence, "Nearly one-third of undergraduates leave after their first year, and many require six years to complete their studies." That seems daunting, but you can be successful! It is important to get proper sleep, eat healthy, stay hydrated and manage your stress. You can handle your class work and tests. You must allocate your time effectively, develop good study habits and prepare for your tests. There are many helpful study tips. Cognitive scientists suggest alternating study places and switching between subjects. Forming study groups with your peers and making flash cards are great ways to study. The New York Times reported that consistent testing can help you to relearn information and recall it for your finals, so perhaps all those annoying tests are a good thing. ever to the communities they serve. But why now? Student newspapers have always covered controversial subjects. They've always had a rebellious streak and exposed wrongdoing, propelled by a strong sense of justice. They've always pissed off administrators and student governments. The question administrators and student governments across the country need to answer is why attempt to destroy something that's not broken — es pecially as its importance grows? As professional newspapers struggle to gain a foothold in the marketplace of the 21st century, many are undergoing, or have already undergone, the same corporate transformation other industries made decades ago. The same goes for universities. In some industries, like fast food, conformity maximizes efficiency and ultimately improves the product. For example, when McDonald's fries taste the same in Fresno, California, as they do in Wichita, that's good business. But when a newspaper in Wichita is the same as the newspaper in Fresno, California, you can be sure readers in neither location are being properly served. When corporate owners demand the same conformity from newspapers as fast food restaurants, the consequences are dire. Like newspapers, public universities are making a late transition from once-differing institutions to boxy, indifferent, bottom-line-obsessed corporate entities. As corporate universities become more alike, they must expend more money and effort on branding, insisting they're different from their competition — sim ilar to the Cola Wars between Pepsi and Coke. Student newspapers, protected by Effectively using your time is often hard. For each college credit you are taking it is recommended you spend 2 to 3 hours studying per week. Sometimes you have to get creative to fit that all in. Do things like bringing those handy flash cards you made to review in your downtime. Just remember to take breaks as well, because after 90 minutes of studying you will have a hard time focusing. Do not be afraid to take naps, because a sleepy brain is a slow brain. Test anxiety is a common issue. If you are experiencing test anxiety and it is negatively affecting your performance at school, you should get evaluated. There are accommodations available if you qualify. Some examples of accommodations are extended test time and testing in a quiet room.

In the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt, "The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today." Krystal Dodge is a junior majoring in psychology. the First Amendment and relatively insulated by sustainable funding through student fees from the corporate forces hamstringing local newspapers, are caught in the middle of this madness. But the sustainable funding that insulates student newspapers, like The Sunflower, from the corporate decisions diminishing local newspapers and universities across the country is in jeopardy. The First Amendment protections afforded student newspapers, too, have come under threat. Student newspapers are now at a crossroads: do they continue bravely and independently serving their readers free from corporate influence and brand-building demanded by their intersecting industries — h igher education and newspapers — o r do they conform, sell their souls, and help build the brand of their schools in exchange for student fees. For The Sunflower, this crossroads was clearly laid out in an email from an administrator. It was said we could not operate "without bias or control from anyone" because we receive student fees. The answer for The Sunflower, and other ethical student newspapers across the country, is simple. A newspaper functioning as a publicrelations arm of the university, suppressing confrontational coverage and giving a false impression of reality, is worse than no newspaper at all. Student newspapers serve a vital role in our democracy and occupy a special place in our society that allows the truth to determine its coverage — n ot its profitability. In these tough times for student journalists, The Sunflower supports all student publications as they fight for their right to report the truth.

TYLER STEiNSDORFER steinO 78® rangers, uwp. edu One of Parkside's conservative student organizations are in a state of disarray after a number of members discover that they are not actually conservative Turning Point USA is a college conservative group on campus that has recently gained notoriety due to having suspected racial biases. A chapter has recently started at UWParkside and, as a result, a number of people have wanted to determine whether these rumors were true as well as try to learn more about the group as a whole. However, to my surprise, after conducting interviews with members of the group the Bearly News has yet to find anyone that is actually conservative. — — P l e a s e , b e a r w i t h u s h e r e . — - — — — hunt for Ranger Bear draws to a close News mourns a Private Eye and welcomes a new Ranger Bear Parkside distributes the TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers.uwp.edu To cap off the 2017-2018 school year, the university has honored its hard-working students and faculty with an array of Further Achievement in Learning (F.A.I.L.) awards. The competition was fierce this year; nomination counts were off the charts for categories including "Best Procrastinator," "Longest Meeting," and "Most Pretentious Professor." Unsung heroes The F.A.I.L. awards are specifically dedicated to honoring the greatest achievements in UWParkside's academic sphere. The event kicked off with respecting what is arguably the most important of these accomplishments: "Best Hangover Recovery." The winner was none other than Daniel Jack, a super senior that attended forty-five parties over the course of the year, all while maintaining a 2.4 GPA. He proudly wobbled onto the ballroom stage to collect his award. "It's great to finally be..." Daniel stated, before holding a hand to his temple. "Excuse me," he resumed, adjusting his Top Gun aviator glasses. "I have to go to the bathroom." He then disappeared for the remainder of the event. Another underdog win came for Jane B. Fowling, who walked away with the "Sloppiest Dorm" award. Her mountain of soda cans barely beat out T. Ruxpin's cluttered archive files on Ranger Bear. Ruxpin did, however, win the award for "Strongest School Spirit" for attending two entire sports games. Those who cannot do Some prominent winners in the professor categories included Dr. Ophelia Chem, who won "Driest PowerPoint" for her lecture on epipregnanolone. The slideshow featured exactly 10,439 bullet points and only a mere 11 pictures. "Smallest Class" was expected to go to UBW 101 (Intro to Underwater Basket Weaving), but in a surprise twist, Dr. Winn Chester collected the award. The day before the ceremony, he had fourteen students enrolled in his music course. The next morning, the room was empty.

This reporter was forcibly removed from the home and given a ticket for trespassing. When the Bearly News asked the campus police whether or not Ranger Bear The Truth Comes Out "It all started when I first opened The Communist Manifesto" one group member stammered before quickly looking around to make sure no one heard him. He, as well as everyone else who agreed to be interviewed, wished to remain anonymous so as to not bring any unwanted attention to themselves. He really seemed at a loss trying to understand who he really is. He went on to describe how his parents would disown him if they knew he was actually a socialist. I really pitied the man and wanted to give him a hug and tell him everything would be okay, but he would only allow this if the phrase "no homo" was yelled an unfathomable amount of times. Not all of the people interviewed were socialists. One girl mentioned Proudhon as often as a clingy girlfriend talks about her boyfriend. "I'm not sure how many of us are actually conservative and at this point I'm too scared to ask" the girl said. "We all just keep acting conservative because it's what we've always done."
