Final Exams Final Exams Final Exams When someone retires, and they've been at a job for several years, it's cus- tomary that someone will say some- thing like, "Joe's been here so long, they built the building around him." For several of the faculty and staff who were honored on Tuesday, May 2, many of the buildings on the UW- Parkside campus were built around them. People like Associate Professor of Geography Curtis Richards and Geology Professor and Department Chair James Shea have served UW- Parkside and its students for 33 years. That's as long as the University has been in existence. Others like Professor and Department Chair of Economics Richard Keehn, Associate Professor of English Peter Martin, Assistant Director I Control1er James Marks, Professor of GeOgraphy Chelvadurai Manogaran, Senior Assistaut to the Dean Alma Renish, Professor of Spanish Constantin Stathatos, and William Misamore of Computer Service have helped nearly two gen- this HpellotoallPar h ksidestudents, faculty,and others.

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

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

Enrollment numbers show growth Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Student Newspaper of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside . November 16, 2000 ~ IJY. Issue 10 Vo1.30 ------~~~~~~~rr =~~~~~-~~~~ Enrollment numbers show growth by Julie Thompson The numbers are finally in, and the results are positive. On the final day of October, UWParkside's Assistant Vice Chancellor for Enrollment Management, Alan Crist, received the final stats on fall enrollment. The statistics compare current enrollment--4,969 students-to those of fall 1998 and 1999--4,655 and 4,955, respectively. But what do all these numbers mean to UW-Parkside students? "Enrollment went up slightly," Crist said. "We increased our headcount by .28 percent and full-time e'luivalent [FIE] by .85 percent [to 3,561]. ' FIE is the number used for funding by the University of Wisconsin System. One or more students totaling 15 credits is considered one FTE by the System. Although the numbers appear small, they amount to an increase of more than 300 additional students roaming the halls of UW-Parkside since fall of 1998. "This is continuing the trend that we've got more full-time students enrolling than part-time students." Crist said. When asked the cause of the increases, Crist added, "Primarily, it's due to the fact that we have a new residence hall on campus." However, the decrease in part-time and non-traditional students, he said, "It's due to the good economy; people working, full-time employment. So people don't take as much time for school as they might otherwise." The numbers show there has been a minimal change in the breakdown of Racine, Kenosha and Milwaukee students since fall of 1999. Enrollment of Kenosha County (1,873 students) rose by 1.08 percent, or 20 additional students (162 more students than 1998). However, Racine County enrollment (1,690 students) was slightly down, a drop of 1.63 percent from last year's figure of 1,718. When considering the change in these numbers, Crist said, "I thirik it's probably more due to the population shift. I think Kenosha is growing faster than Racine County." Milwaukee County figures showed the largest change, with a decrease of 4.21 percent, or 23 fewer students from 1999 to 2000 (546 down to 523). The student population at UW-Parkside is more diverse. Enrollment data showed the number of African American students increased by 5.1 percent to 412; the Hispanic student population increased by 4.1 percent to 305; Asian Americans increased by 9.9 percent to 111 students; Native American students increased 8 percent to 27. The number of international students also rose, increasing by 60.5 percent to 61 students from 23 different countries. Meanwhile, the white student population showed a decrease of 1.29 percent to 4,053. That number is still 154 ahead of the 3,899 white students enrolled in fall 1998. With the exception of that final number, Crist sees the enrollment numbers as positive. "This is encouraging. We want to increase the diversity overall of our campus population, and provide opportunities for all students to have a diverse population," Crist stated. When considering what the latest enrollment statistics suggest, Crist said, "Overall, the trends are showing that we are continuing to have growth. Although, we've slowed down somewhat, we're within the range of our target that was established by System, which was less than a half percent under what we ideally want it to be at, but it's within the range of acceptability." As far as meeting the needs of the surrounding community, Crist stated, "We don't want to just be churning out graduates, we want to be thinking about the needs of the community." So, after consulting with the surrounding community about specific needs, UW-Parkside has corne up with future plans which include a new certificate program in Global Studies, a Masters of Public Administration (MPA) program, and a Master of Computer and Information Sciences program. "We can be a place for students who are looking for a campus that has quality faculty and programs, and has those large campus advantages, but [also] small campus advantages of clear access to faculty, smaller class sizes, and clear potential for involvement on the campus," he said. Looking for UW-Parkside soccer spirit? Look no further than the faces of TroyHurtig, Jason Rexine, and Tad Leistico. They were letter perfect from the initial kick until the IInal buzzer at saturday's NCAA Division II game between UWP and Lewis. Check page 6 for a game summary.

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

November 16, 2000 Page 3 A Different Voice On reading and collecting books By Andrew M. McLean, Professor of En lish Y love books. Ever since I can remember, books have been important in my life. My mom read detective mystery stories nightly; Agatha Christie was her favorite. My father only read newspapers. But at some point he bought a set of Charles Dickens for the house. They were the only books in my childhood home. I was fortunate to have a wonderful public library within walking distance from my home. Here is where savvy librarians fed by nascent love for books, and my growing appetite for reading. Each week they'd suggest books for me to read, and I, of course, said "OK." I was a willing consumer. In junior high school I actually worked in the school library where Mrs. Gottschalk, it's clear in retrospect, carefully fed my love for books. She even gave me books as a present on different occasions. [was fast moving away from reading Classic Comics, to reading the real classic books. [still recall the excitement of reading Stevenson's "The Black Arrow" and Cooper's 'The Last of the Mohicans." [was living in Saxon, England, and walked along paths with the Deerslayer. My high school English teacher, Mr. Eisenbach, suggested books for me to read and write about. (I still have a couple of these book reports, and I read them each year before teaching my The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Andrew McLean, professor of English, Is the owner of Martha Merrell's Book· shop and The Old Book Corner, 312 Sixth St. in downtown Racine. freshmen classes.) When [realized my buddy John McCormick was still reading his first book while I had already read and reported on three, I asked Mr. Eisenbach, "What gives?" IIWell," he said, "you're able to read more than John." [couldn't argue with that, so I kept on reading the books he suggested. [enjoyed them immensely. I entered new worlds with each book. Lewis's HElmer Gantry," Rolvaag's "Giants in the Earth," or the exciting life of William Pitt, the Younger. I really became a reader in college. This was partly due to the required reading for classes. My American history class, for example, required I read and make notes on 300 pages a week of outside reading in addition to reading the textbook. But I became a reader more because I wanted to know everything. And books were the way to knowledge. I remember, for example, taking acourse on theater history, and as the only freshman in the class, [felt totally unprepared. We talked about Greek plays I had never heard about and certainly had never read. So, I went to the library and. checked out the complete Greek plays (three volumes), and read them in one weekend. [continued reading dozens of plays as the course continued. Mar- [owe? Ibsen? Shaw? All blanks in my knowledge, but not for long. I went to a college that valued intellectual life, that promoted discussion of ideas, and encouraged reading material beyond what was on the syllabus. This was just expected. ,[ recall, for example, how Dr. Fehner began each discussion of a seventeenth-eentury writer by recommending one or two good studies of the author. It was just the thing to do, to read at least one of these recommended studies. In fact, it was reading these books that got me hooked on the English Renaissance, the area of my future "expertise." It was while in college that I started to build my own library. This consisted not so much of textbooks, but of studies about the authors I liked to read, of other books written by these authors, and books I'd heard about and knew that one day I'd need to read them. I used to frequent used bookshops in Minneapolis and New York, and feel rewarded when I bought a few good used copies of famous books I hadn't read. And at this time paperback books for college students were just beginning to appear. How wonderful it was to buy the complete poetry of John Donne in a paperback edition for fifty cents! This was the beginning of my adult passion for buying and' collecting books. In graduate school I made my beer .money by buying books at estate sales for a dime or a quarter, and selling them for· twice as much to the local used book dealer. [didn't understand why he'd often give me a $1 or $5 for a book. He soon introduced me to the world of first editions, limited printings, and fine bindings that is the world of the real book collector. When I arrived in Kenosha to teach at UWParkside, I brought with me my love of reading, and my enthusiasm for collecting books. This enthusiasm grew over the years, first as a collector of Renaissance books, then as an appraiser of books for other people, and finally, to establishing my own bookshop, Martha Merrell's Bookshop & The Old Book Comer, 312 Sixth St., in downtown Racine. (Ms. Merrell, a librarian, started the store in 1947.) In a way, my bookshop is my biggest collection of books, and my rrivate library open to the public. stock books I think people should read. I enjoy offering the fruits of my collection to the public. It's nice to be surrounded by books, to talk about them with others, and to share them with whomever is interested. Books continue to open up new worlds to me, to help me understand myself, and to help me live a meaningful life. This is the joy and the excitement of being a reader and of loving books. Student Voices Should the electoral vote or the popular vote decide the presidency? Jennifer Huntington "It would be nice if the popular vote determined who would win. 1think the electoral vote is outdated." Jenell Dixon "I think the electoral vote should determine the presidency, just because that's the way it's always been done. The electoral is the way it is, so 1 think that's how it should be." Craig Harff "I don't believe in the electoral vote, personally." Vikram Sidhu "I think the popular vote is the better option because people should have the right to decide." November 16, 2000 Page 4 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Interactive Class Is Window To World By Lisa Whitcomb This semester, UW-Parkside has added_ a new language to its foreign language roster. The 4-credit class is Introduction to Russian and it meets everyday except VVednesday in the Communication Arts media services room from 10 to 10:50 a.rn, UW-Parkside does not have a professor on site to teach the class. Instead students videoconference with professor Robert Price from UW-Stevens Point. While Prof. Price is fluent in Russian, he cannot successfully run the program for this campus alone. Professor Siegfried Christoph, department of Modem Languages chair, approached Anastasia Ryzhicova last spring, who is a native born Russian and an international student at UW-Parkside, to facilitate the course. Ryzhicova is a sophomore majoring in Management Information Systems. She was born and raised in Moscow, but has been in the United States on visa for high school and collel1e. She agreed to facilitate the "live feed, interactive class with Professor Price for this semester and next. The distance learning is televised live every morning from UVV-SP.UW-Parkside students can see, hear, and speak with the professor and the UW-Stevens Point students. There are 11 students enrolled at UW-Parkside and 13 at UW-SP. The students come from a variety of schol arly departments-Drama, Business, and Science. There also are students who have ethnic ties to the lan(;Uage and want to learn more about their cultural history. Some students are taking the course because they will be traveling to Moscow in the spring with Professor Oliver Hayward from the History department. After Professor Price teaches each lesson, he faxes Ryzhicova tests and homework assignments, which she passes out and then recollects to fax back on a daily basis. She is also on hand to provide needed support and guidance when students have trouble with the language. Professor Price uses a device called ELMO (like an overhead projector for the camera) to introduce new words and concepts. In addition to learning the language, the students talk with each other about cultural differences and similarities, and jointly watch cartoons and movies spoken in Russian, so they can apply their new knowledge. Ryzhicova also meets with her students outside of class every Tuesday from 11 a.m. to noon for a lunch study group. "Ithink it is a great thing to share my Culture, and I'm really enthusiastic about it. It's a pleasure to come to this class and the students are doing really well," she said. Maria Dimitrova, an international student from Bulgaria who is taking the class said, "It is one of my best classes. I like the professor, the assistant [Ryzhicova], and the kids in the class are nice." Dimitrova already knows some Russian, but is taking the class to renew and improve her knowledge of the IanguS~~ added, "My major is international business and to know the language will be helpful." She plans on spending a semester abroad ill Russia to inunerse herself in the culture and the language before she graduates. Dimitrova stresses the importance of cultural diversity, especially in business because America is not the only culture in the world and it is important to learn about other people. Taking Russian is a great way to do this she promises, addirig "The professor can not only give you the grammar in the class, but stories from his experi ences in Russia [as well]: The RUSSIan Cyrillic alphabet IS slightly different from the English alphabet because there are 33 letters while English has 26 letters. Learning Russian provides a basis for learning other European languages in that Hative American Traveling Museum visits UW-Parkside Nov. 6 By Sarah Olsen Anyone near Main Place on Monday, Nov. 6 would have heard native singing, drums, and flutes enchanting students and faculty. The Native American Traveling Museum of SouthEastern VVisconsinbrought the culture, history, and artifacts of the Oneida Nation to campus. The traveling museum was established in 1997 and is comprised of four facilitators: Bob and Patricia Ulrich, Debbie Ushakow and Priscilla Zakhar. All three women are Oneida Nation tribal members while Bob Ulrich, Patricia's husband, is of German descent. The four volunteers were trained and educated by official Oneida tribal representatives. The traveling museum presentation is educational and fun, and is a handson program. The exhibit is comprised of over $6,000 worth of material including a small scale Oneida longhouse, clothing of the past and present, food, crafts, games, and music. Any of the artifacts on display are available for touching, handlfug, and exploring. Facilitators encourage students to ask questions not only about the museum artifacts, but also about the Oneida Nation. The museum was invited by Rita SteckIing from the Office of Equity and Diversity, and, by Sacred Circle. The museum will return in February for a pow-wow that is sponsored by Sacred Circle. More information about the pow-wow will be printed in upcoming ISSUesof The Ranger. UW-Parkside students participate in an interactive long-dIstance class with UWStevens Point. "Introduction to Russian" meets every day except Wednesday from 10-10:50 a.m. in the Communication Arts media services room. "The class is offered nowhere else in [Racine and Kenosha], so UW-Parkside students have the comparative advantage," said Ryzhicova. Part two will be offered in the spring and is open to anyone who can meet the prere9,uisites. Dimitrova strongly reiterates, 'Spanish is a good language to learn, but if you want a perspective for the world, and not just the American continents, then it is a good idea to come and take Russian." For more information about the course contact the Department of Modem Languages at 595-2331. region, such as Serbian, Slavic, <;:zech, Polish, Ukrainian, and Bulganan to name a few. Learning the language is also helpful when someone wants to immense him or herself into Russian art because it enhances a person's understanding - and appreciation of Russian literature, ballets, plays, and operas. "Russia has some great cultural writers like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky and it is nice to read their work in its original language because meanings for words are frequently lost in the translation," Ryzhicova pointed out. Selling the record straight In the article titled "VVho has your name and address?' ill the Nov. 9 edi tion the arncle shouid have read: . Absolutely never is a student's personal information given out to any kind of marketing organization at all," states Cyntha Jensen, the assistant director at the Office of Admissions. She adds, "I can guarantee you that the closest guarders of your personal information will be the University." She's right. In fact, there ISa Federal law that protecrs Ine privacy of student educational records. It's the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act. It regulates what information a school can give out and to whom it is released. Generally, the Privacy Act only allows schools to release records to a specific list of organizations and officials, but when it comes to directory information, there is no list of specifics. The Native American Traveling Museum of Southeastern Wisconsin visited UWParks ide Monday, Nov. 6 in lower Main Place. Students and faculty learned about native American music, clothing, beadwork, and more about the Oneida nation. November 16, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 5 Movie review: Adam Sandler raises hell in new film comedv "lillie Nickv" ByChristine Agaiby and Sarah Olsen If you were told your entire life that your mother was a goat, you'd be messed up, too. Little Nicky, the youngest of Satan's three sons, is the sweetest little devil the Anti-Christ could hope for. "Little Nicky" is a hellish comedy "about a guy falling in love, and saving his dad. Itjust happens to take place between heaven and hell" says Allen . Covert, Adam Sandler's co-star and cowriter. The adventure begins when Little Nicky's older, bullying brothers escape through the Gates of Hades, causing the path of hell to freeze over. The brothers disrupt the balance between good and evil when they attempt to create a new hell on earth. Nicky's dad (Harvey Keitel) literally "goes to pieces" while the brothers launch their sinister rampage. As Satan becomes weaker, he leaves it up to Little Nicky to save the world. Nicky leaves the safety of the underworld to face the dangers of New York City. In the attempt to recapture his brothers, he must learn certain human necessities such as sleeping and eating. His only help takes the form of a sarcastic, talking bulldog named Beefy. As the time of destruction draws near, Little Nicky must learn how to "release the evil within himself. His crusade takes hilariously funny twists when he meets and instantly falls in love with Valerie, played by Patricia Arquette, and two heavy metal and heavily drugged servants of Satan, Peter Dante and Jonathan Loughran. The inspiration for Little Nicky's character came from Sandler's childhood. "There was this kid in my Adam Sandler is Lillie Nicky, a shy, sweet, devilishly funny son of Satan. What makes acting worth the effort? "1 like tryin9, to make people laugh" says Sandler .. '1 like people who stop and talk to me on the street. That's the best part for me. That's why 1 got into [comedy]." Sandler jokes the only reason Covert likes acting is because he's a social butterfly. "He's psychotic ...He likes being on the set because there's lots of people to talk to." Sandler attributes his success as stand-up comedian turned film star / writer to two important things: family and friends. His parents have been an inspiration to continue his career, and his friends, while co-starring in many of his films, have pushed him to venture into new genres of entertainment. "The best thing 1did in my life and my career is to have a lot of friends" says Sandler. hometown who talked like Little Nicky and he was the king of rock'n roll facts" says Sandler. Many of the characters Sandler has played over the years are embellished impersonations of childhood friends. "Little. Nicky," an addition to a long list of classic comedies b} Sandler, took a little over a year to write. "The idea was the eaST part" says Sandler. "Little Nicky' may seem fun to the eye of the viewer, however, writing, filming, and producing is a time-consuming rrocess. "Writing is hard, but when you do come up with something funny, then it's the best" says Covert. Sandler and Covert spend 12 to 14 hour days shooting on the set. "We take it serious" says Sandler. IIWe work hard at it." Adam Sandler held a preview screening lor his new film "Lillie Nicky" Nov.1 in Chicago. Sarah Olsen (left) and Christine Agaiby allended a press conference at The House of Blues Hotel where they met Sandler and Allen Covert his co-star and co-writer. uwp presents Brazilian art in Racine .for the program was provided through an RAC grant, and by the Brazil-US Institute in Ceara. Additional funding also was provided by SC Johnson, A Family Company. You'll have to travel a few miles from the UW-Parkside campus to see it, but you can be assured that the art on exhibit has traveled much further in order to be seen. The University, working with the Racine Arts Council (RAC), is presenting "Coisas de Terra" (Things From Our Land), an exhibition of Brazilian art at the RAC Gallery through Nov. 30, 2000. The Gallery is located at 345 Main St., Racine. The exhibit's nearly two dozen pieces include photography, designs, and traditional woodcuts by artists from Fortaleza, Brazil, Racine's sister city. UW-Parkside Professor of History Gerald Greenfield, along with Brazil's Dr. Eliane Frota, were instrumental in making the display a reality. The Coisas de Terra exhibition is sponsored by UW-Parkside's International Studies Program and was arranged with the help of the Racine Sister City Council.

Two more Ranger men and one women's team member placed on the second squad. The obvious choice for all conference honors was junior goalkeeper Thorn Peer. Peer was named conference co-player of the year after posting an NCAA-record 17 shutouts and leading the nation in goals against average this season. Peer is joined on the first team by Andy Nijoka, a junior midfielder from Rockford, Ill., and Justin Trevorrow, a junior defender from New Brighton, Minn. Niioka started all 22 games for the Rangers, scoring two goals, including a game-winner, and assisting on three others for seven points. Trevorrow was a standout back all season long. He started 21 games for the GLVC champions. Second team honors went to Raymond James, a sophomore forward from O'Fallon, Ill., and Matt Hundt, a junior defender from Brookfield. James led the Rangers in scoring with 13 goals, (7 game-winners) and a pair of assists for 28 points. Hundt started all 21 games and has one assist.

Momon, Knuth lead men to laugher UW-Parkside men's basketball coach Jeff Rutter wanted his team to be challenged in its final exhibition game of the year. And it was ...for the first half. The Rangers expanded a three-point halftime lead to 12 f0ints in the first twoplus minutes 0 the second half and cruised to an 89-54 laugher over Las Vegas Funjet at the De Simone Gy.m on Saturday night. The Rangers won their first exhibition 88-70 against Coach Rudy's All-Stars the previous week. The team will travel to UWOshkosh for a game on Friday before opening the regular season home schedule against Beloit College on Tuesday, Nov. 21. Las Vegas Funjet, a team of seasoned fonner college players augmented by former UW-Parkside center Willie Robinson, looked like the Cinderella team trailing by just three at half 36-33. Funjet drained 15 of its 23 shots for a hefty 65.2 shooting percentage. The Rangers were led in the first half by the hot shooting hand of Nick Knuth. Then carne the second half and Cinderella's carriage turned into a. pumpkin. Paced by Quincey Momon, who had three earthquake slams, and stepped up performances by Brian Coffman and "Kevin Carp, the Ranger poured in 53 points to run Funjet out of the building. Knuth and Momon both finished the game with 16 points. Coffman and Carp combined for 25. Marlon Gnce had eight points. UW-Parkside outrebounded l'unjet 48-34 including 18 . offensive boards.

The Commllllication Department's Senior Seminar class hosted its Hunger Strike 2000 and Sleep Out Under the Stars event on campus on Wednesday, Nov. 15. The event, which coincided with National Homelessness Awareness Month, collected food and raised money for the secular, non-profit organization known as the Shalom Center in Kenosha. By all accounts, the event was a thrilling success. Communication Department Chair and Senior Seminar instructor, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, was delighted with the planning and execution of the project. "There were concerns about the severity of the weather as the date of the event was pushed deeper into November, and some students were unsure that we should even follow through. Yet, the day came and every- 1.qdy showed up, even people from outside the class. The students really did a grearjob." Senior Seminar stuaems cickec oft . the event by hosting and participating in the Hunger Strike 2000bowl-a-then in the Union Recreation Center. The university Staff Bowling League showed their support by opening their league night to pledges, and by raising additional money. Several members of the UWP bowling team also contributed to the event. The activities moved outside at 9:30 p.m. as Senior Seminar students and their supporters prepared to brave the near-freezing temperatures, cutting wind, and early morning rain. Participants had little more protection than sleeping bags, cardboard boxes, and a The Communication Senior Seminar crew gathers prior to venturing outdoors to dramatize homeless ness during Hunger Strike 2000. . counie of taros loaned bv a local company. "Here we are, doing this for one night," said senior Tatjana Bicanin, "and there's thousands of people who have no choice but to sleep outside every night. All I can say is that I'm grateful that we're so lucky." Aside from raising money, Hunger Strike 2000 was also meant to raise awareness. Utilizinl;l public relations skills acquired in their Media Message Design course, Senior Seminar students were able to grab the attention of major newspapers in Milwaukee; Racine, and Kenosha. Senior Michaela B.Gaines was granted an interview on a major market radio station. Senior Seminar students also generated poster, flyers, and delivered presentations.' Communication major, and popular campus radio personality, Jamie "Scream'n" Freeman, couldn't resist getting behind such a good cause.

Major Changes: A look top majors at UW-Parkside By Craig Braun and Zach Robertson Part 1 of a three part series Many thoughts rumble through the minds of UW-Parkside students in any given day. Students may think about their plans for the weekend, the lunch menu in the cafeteria, they might even be thinking about their potential major. This could be one of the biggest decisions students will ever make, because it will directly affect their future. Some students pick a major based on what interests them, others take suggestions from faculty members, some may even decide by doing a little research. There are also many other factors that go into deciding what is the right field of study for you. The availability of jobs, money, and the flexibility of a major are also important factors to examine.

Box 343910 Milwaukee, WI 53234-3910 (414) 389-2602 The Japanese American Experience: A Chapter in U.S. Historv By Christine Agaiby Like many students, Allen Hida was born a citizen 'ofthe United States. Hida has been a teacher in Wisconsin for the last thirty years. Although he is a citizen, he was not given the same rights citizens are guaranteed through the constitution. In the seventh grade, Hida and his family were incarcerated. What was their crime? They were japanese American. During World War II, Hitler imprisoned millions of jews. Their only crime was that they were jewish. What the Nazis did in Germany is considered to be one of the most inhumane acts in history. The United States military quickly got involved in a war to fight for the rights of those being tortured. How ironic, then, that the U.S. incarcerated their own citizens at the same time they helped free the citizens of another country. Allen Hida came to UW-Parkside on October 30 to inform listeners of the Japanese American experience in concentration camps during WWII. Many Americans are unaware of this event because it's either a small paragraph in our U'S. history books or not there at all. It's an event that teachers do not cover in their lectures. On February 19, 1942,approximately two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that. alIowed for the forced removal and incarceration of japanese Americans. More than 120,000japanese Americans were sent to these "relocation" camps and more than half of those incarcerated, were children. The children of the camps, even today, continually experience psychological warfare. The feelings of abandonment and shame are still with them. It's difficult to understand how an event like this could happen. How could children be a threat to a country? The Japartese were labeled as unassimalable. They were told that they were not desirable material for citizenship because of their racial characteristics of heredity and religion. '''We were constantly told that the jaJ?anese race is an enemy race," Hida said, with pain evident in his voice. There were ten camps located on bad government land, mostly desert. The camps were enclosed with barbed wire fences surrounded by soldiers with rifles, machine guns, tanks, etc. The only way out of these camps was to serve in the U.S. army. Many men did so to prove their loyalty to a country that betrayed them. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which consisted mostly of japanese Americans, came back to America from war as the most decorated in their unit. The camp experience forced assimilation. japanese Americans had to shed their own culture by thrusting themselves in American culture. Still haunted by the experiences of the camps generations later, japanese Americans hold the belief that they must be the best they can be to help . avoid racism. Americans were horrified by the injustice jews faced in Germany, yet our own citizens weren't protected from this unjust imprisonment. The lack of education on this historical event will not prevent it from happening again. Perhaps, your ethnic group will be next to be forced to go to camps.

UW·Parkside now offering Winterim classes UW-Parkside is giving students and community members the opportunity to earn coflege credits during what has traditionally been vacation time. The Universit;r. is offerinl7 five winter interim, or 'Winterim, classes from late December through mid-January, Courses include a geology/biological sciences class involving a field trip to Costa Rica. Also offered are a polymer chemistry course, an English course, a geology class on lead contamination in urban areas, and an MBA course offered through the Internet. UW-Parkside administrators said Winterim courses are being offered to meet students demand. "Whenever we ask them, students always say they want more opportunities to take classes," said Ron Singer, association vice chancellor for Planning, Budget, and Resource Allocation. "That is particularly true of non-traditional students who don't think of the weeks between semesters as 'time off:" Singer called the winter classes a pilot project to gauge student and community interest. He says Winterim, which runs Dec. 28 to Jan. 13, could become as popular as the courses UWParkside now offers between spring semester and summer session. Al Crist, the University's assistant vice chancellor for Enrollment Management said UW-Parkside is furposely starting Winterim smal to work the administrative bugs out of the system with an eye toward future expansion. And while current UWParkside students are likely to have the greatest interest in these classes, Crist expects people from surrounding communities to have an interest in specific subjects. "There are classes that will appeal to the Poublic," said Crist. "The course titled The Book: Past, Present, and Future: and 'Lead Astray' about urban lead contamination should be of interest to a number of community members. _ The polymer chemistry course will be of interest to people in certain local businesses and industry." Registration for Winterim continues through Dec. 22, and all registration forms must be in the Registrar's Office before classes begin. Toreceive a copy of the schedule, can the Registrar at ext. 2284. Copies also are available at the Advising Center and at Admissions. Page4 November 30, 2000- The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Enrollment UP for Latino students By Lynn Garcia Did you know that the University of Wisconsin-Parkside has the highest increasing rate for Hispanics enrolling in college? They come from all over the area including Beloit, Burlington, Delevan, Lake Geneva, Libertyville, and Waukegan. However, UW-Parkside has one of the lowest rates of Latinos pur· suing education. When Carmen Ireland, started at UVVParkside 8 years ago, Latinos Unidos consisted of only a handful of people. There was a ten-year plan.jcn percent more every year. The first open house had 64 people there; whereas the latest one recently included 480. The number of Latinos enrolled at UW- Parkside has been increasing over the last three years. In the fall of 1999, 262 Latinos enrolled; in fall 1999, there were 293 Latino students; and in the most recent semester the number has jumped to 305 Latinos enrolled. Out of that 305, 64 of then were incoming freshman. Ireland shared the excitmg news that she has reached her goal of 300 Latinos before she moves into the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. Every student starts out with the same goal: to graduate from college. There are a large number of dropouts due mainly to one thing: money. If you come from a middle-income family there is no financial aid available to you. If you are having difficulty earning money, you may eventually be forced to drop out of school and give up your dream. There are two sororities and two fraternities for Latinos. Sigma Lamda Beta, already in its fifth year, was the first cultural fraternity in the state of Wisconsin. Alpha Sigma Omega was the first Latina sorority in Wisconsin. There is also Omega Delta Phi and Gamma Alpha Omega. There is a new Latina Mother- Daughter Program. This is a program for Latina girls, grades six through 12, in partnership with their mothers, to foster educational aspirations and career exploration. It is designed to acquaint the girls and mothers with careers requiring. higher education, to introduce community role models, and to develop self-esteem and confidence in both mothers and daughters.

This is where everyone's favorite Dr. Suess character has come to live out his life as the mean and nasty grinch. Jim Carrey has masterfully morphed into a believable live action character on the big screen once a9am. The movie s 11 sets were true to Dr. Suess' artistic style from the original book, and painstakingly intricate with Christmas details, including over 9 football fields of 'snow,' 8,000 orna- -nents, and almost 2,000 candy canes. The story was surprisingly close to the original with a few new twists to make the story more contemporary for roday's world. For example, "hen the story opens up, the Who's in Whoville really only love the Christmas season because of the materialistic qualities that it has to offer. They have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas and believe that the holiday is only about having more presents, lights, and decorations than their neighbor. And everyone in Whoville-the tall and the small-is Foreign Film review: The Eel By Lisa Whitcomb Pro-rated season tickets are still available for UW-Parkside's annual Foreign Film series, and next week's movie is another great reason to join now. "The Eel" is a Japanese movie about one person's awareness in life, and a hard lesson about what is truly important, The movie is scheduled to run Dec. 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 9 at 8 p.m., and Dec.lO at 2 p.m. Takuro Yamashita, a white-collar worker, receives a poison-pen letter one day informing him that his wife is having adulteress relationships when he is not home. In a fit of rage, Takuro kills his wife and is sent to prison for eight years. After he is released he tries, With much difficulty, to avoid further trouble in his life. The film, a Cannes festival winner, makes a strange emotional progression from rage to the celebration of life. It is an action-packed film with murder and mayhem, but it also has underlying comical and surrealistic tones that touch on a spectrum of emotions, which will keep the .audience on the edge of its seats. Tickets for the series can be purchased at anytime through the Ranger- Card Office at 595-2655. Further film . reviews can be found at uwp.edu web sight under "Fun Stuff, Events and Calendars. impatient because they want faster service and instantaneous gratitude for staged holiday spirit. Everyone, that is, except little Cindy Lou Who, played by newcomer Taylor Momsen, who wonders what has happened to the real meaning of Christmas, has it changed, or has she? This is also the premise for Faith Hill's catchy new Christmas carol, which was created for the movie. Cindy Lou Who makes it her mission to befriend the green grinch and include him in this year's holiday festivities. The Grinch refuses her kindness vehemently at first, but then uses her invitation to get even with the villagers, his once childhood classmates, for being cruel to him when he was a kid. Wen, as the story goes he steals their Christmas, but in this version he does it after his childhood sweetheart breaks his heart again. The Grinch makes his dog Max drag <the sleigh up the mountain, and feels triumphant after his night of pillaging until he has an attack of compunction when he sees that Christmas still comes, even without the presents. His heart grows three sizes bigger when he discovers the true meaning of low-cost ski trip now available So, what ARE you doing for semester break?

UW-Parkside 3rd in trophy race Thanks, in part, to conference titles in men's soccer and women's cross country, UW-Parkside is third in the race for the Great Lakes ValleyConference All-Sports Trophy; Ranger athletic teams totaled 44 points during the fall, trailing only Northern Kentucky (55 points) and number two Southern Indiana (47 points). The Grinch (Jim Carrey) conspires with his dog Max to steal the Who's favorite holiday in "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas." Christmas, and with the help of little Cindy Lou Who, he returns the Who's Christmas to Whoville. "T'hefilm shines with Ron Howard quality, and Carrey delivers another masterful performance as a caricature brought to life. Overall; the movie is pretty good, but the humor is a little offbeat at times, a true Jim Carrey trademark "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" is sure to become a seasonal classic like Bill Murray's offbeat comedy "Scrooged."

Question 2: What disease do 15 million Americans suffer from every year? Need a hint? Question 1is a growing preoccupation of today's society that is heavily influenced by Hollywood and the media. Question 2 is something most people don't classify as a disease, rather a temporary state of mind. Give up? The answer to question 1 is body image. Our society today is constantly being bombarded with images of a very thin body typeespecially women. Unfortunately, not only is it a growin(l obsession for women, it's also starting to affect men and children as well. The answer to Question 2 is depression. Often misinterpreted as a phase, or state of mind, clinical depression is more than a temporary "blue" mood or period of grief after a loss. It is a medical illness characterized by a combination of symptoms and signs. Although depression can strike at any age, it is most common among persons 25- 44 years old. However, the incidence of depression in teens and young adults has been increasing in recent years. The Peer Health Educators will have an information table about Depression Awareness Monday, Dec. 4 through Wednesday, Dec. 6, at the alcove next to the Womyn's Center. The Student Health and Counseling Center will sponsor another sessions Dec. 6. This includes a Soup & Substance program at noon in Union 104-106, with Dr. Edward Conrad, professor of fsychology, titled: "So Why Shouldn't Have the Blues?" Counselors from the Student Health & Counseling Center will be on hand throughout the day to provi~e Depression Screerung. Counselors will assess the patient and give a referral, if needed. The screening will be confidential and private. The location of the screenings is still to be decided. Call the Student Health and Counseling Center at ext. 2366, or stop by the Peer Health Educator Table, for more information about the location or other questions about the Depression Screening. Havward leads Russia, Poland tour UW-Parkside History Professor Oliver Hayward invites students to get the ultimate experience of Russia and Poland. Hayward, a veteran traveler to eastern Europe, will teach a course on the two countries during spring semester and then lead a tour there in early 2001. The class meets Thursdays from 5:30 to 8:15 p.m., and can be taken as either a history or international studies course. The tour runs from March 11to 25, 2001 (spring break is March 12 to 16). Included in the tour is a visit to St Petersburg featuring trips to Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Russian Museum, and a stop to admire the architecture and art of The Hermitage. Participants will take an overnight train trip to Moscow, which Hayward calls a very sfecial experience in itself. The tour wil then cover Moscow. From the Kremlin to the spectacular Cathedral of the Resurrection, to the 20th Century art collection at the Tretiakov, tour members will experience Russia's ca)'ital first-hand. In Poland, Warsaw s Old Town and Royal Castle are among the highlights as is a trip to the Warsaw Ghetto.

New major: spon & Fitness Mgml. By Zach Robertson Have you ever thought of working for a professional sports organization or owning your own fitness center? If your answer is "yes," then UW-Parkside has the major you need. This fall marks the beginning of the new Sport and Fitness Management major at UW-Parkside. After four years of planning and working out the necessary detalls through the University of Wisconsin System, students can now declare Sport and Fitness Management as their major. Students in this program will be able to choose between two different options within the major: the sports option and the fitness option. The sports option is designed for students who are interested in careers such as sports marketing, sports information, and sports law. The fitness option is science-based but also has an application background. This option would be for someone interested in careers such as fitness assessment or fitness management programs. "One of the big pluses of this major is that it takes a multidisciplinary approach" says department chairperson Dr. Penny Lyter. "Students will take courses in business, accounting, human resources, management, as well as sport and fitness classes." Sport and Fitness Management is becoming a popular field across the country. Sport management is a newer major, while fitness management has been around for a while. However, UW-Parkside handles the fitness option differently than other schools. "We attach the management side to the fitness option so that the student will get a business background. That way he or she won't be coming out just as a exercise physiologist, but someone who can manage and operate their own business" said Dr. Lyter. 'With the growing process that is currently underway in the physical education department it is hoping to hire a new faculty member to help with the program. The department IS still offering certificates in wellness, coaching, and sports management. "We want to make sure we are covering everything the students need in order to come out of here with an adequate experience," said Dr. Lyter. With the new Student Activities Center and the new major, the Physical Education Department is looking forward to its future. "We are very excited about the new major, especially with the new facility. This is a real growing time for our whole department" said Dr. Lyter. sta Rican Naturalllistory- 2 credits - Jan. 3-15 Explore the biologic and geologic diversity of Costa Rica during a 12-day trip.

This minority group consists of your friends, classmates, family members, and loved ones-they are people who are gay, lesbian, and bisexual. Carole Vopat, professor of English and Women's Studies, will be offering a course in the spring semester titled "Gay and Lesbian Literature." To increase enrollment and awareness for the course, Vopat posted signs in the hallway announcmg the class, the dates, and the time. The posters were defaced and tom down from the walls. Why? The posters contained pictures, obtained from a Benetton ad, that show a man and woman kissing, a man kissing another man, and a woman kissing another woman. "It was painful to see the posters defaced" says Vopat "[The posters] are very threatening [to people]. Which makes the need for this course even stronger. " When the posters were Originally defaced, Vopat circled a quote on the poster that said "intolerance, ignorance" and drew an arrow to the defaced area. Someone then tore down the posters and threw them on the floor. Vopat found the posters and now has them proudly on display for all students and faculty to see the extent these people have gone to in displaying their intolerance, 50~NIGHT .

Chancellor Keating addressed the defacement of the posters at the Faculty Senate meeting saying, he, "Will not tolerate infringement of free expression on this campus and will invoke the strongest possible sanctions against any perpetrator that can be identified." He asked that anyone possessing information as to the identity of the perpetrators contact him immediately. "Another problem is that diversity on this campus doesn't include sexual orientation, so, people aren't required to familiarize tliernselves with people who are different in terms of sexual orientation" says Vopat. "Gay and Lesbian Literature: English 269/464," fulfills the Breadth of Knowled~e requirement and has no prerequisite, The course is organized chronologically, beginning with the late nineteenth century, "When homosexuality became a noun instead of an adjective" says Vopat. "Always before [homosexuality] referred to acts, certain acts were homosexual acts, rather than people." The literature that will be read and discussed ranges from such authors as Oscar Wilde and E.M. Forster to James Baldwin and' Paul Monette. "It's a course in literature" says Vopat. "It's a course in how people write and think about homosexuality and lesbianism - the ideas that are there and the attitudes of the writers." Vopat, who has won several awards for her teaching, has a deep interest in minority literature, and gay and lesbian literature. "The whole idea of gender is fascinating. It's very taboo" she said. Gay and Lesbian Literature will be offered in spring semester 2001 and takes place Mondays and Wednesdays from 2 - 3:15 p.m. Students who are interested in this course, and those who have thought to take it another semester, are encouraged to apply for the spring semester. lf the enrollment is not high enough, the course will be cancelled, possibly never to be revived again. Vopat sees this 'course as an opportunity to address the issue of the lack of attention to sexual orientation. . "It's difficult unless everyone gets mvolved and sees it as a moral issue, an education issue" she says. In response to. the people who defaced the posters, Vopat has copied a whole new batch of posters and should .be considered armed and dangerous. For the benefit of those people, she simply says, "Take my class."- November 30, 2000 Baha'i faith form; UWPc1ub By Sarah Olsen Did you know tha t there are onlysir Baha'i temples in the world, one on each continent, and lllinois is homelD the only temple on the North American continent? The Baha'i Club, OW-Park. side's branch of the Baha'i faith, Was formed by two UW-Parkside studen~, Darwin Stetzer and Kelly Molini. Stetzer and Molini founded the club "For the promotion of the principl~ and the teaching of the Baha'i faith" said Stetzer, a sophomore at UWP. The Baha'i Club was formed during the spring 2000 semester. The Baha'i faith consists of people who formerly had different and conflicting religious backgrounds-Bud. dhists, Jews, Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, etc. The Baha'i faith provrded these people with a basis of unity that makes the competition of sects and denominations seem unimportant to them. The Baha'i faith consists of seven basic principles , emphasized by Baha'u'llah (a prophet), to help bind people together in a united world: -Men must seek for truth in spite of custom, prejudice, and tradition. -Men and women must have equal opportunities, rights, and privileges. -The nations must choose an international language to be used along with the mother tongue. -All children must receive a basic education. -Men must make a systematic effort to wipe out all those orejudices ...nicb divide people. -Men must recognize that religion should go hand-in-hand with science. -Men must work to abolish extreme wealth and extreme poverty. . The Baha'i faith originated in Persia, .now Iran, in the year 1844. The word "Baha'i" comes from the name of the founder of the faith-"Baha'u'llah"- meaning the Glory of God. Baha'i simply means" a follower of Baha'u'llah." The year the Baha'i faith was formed, a young man who called ~- self "the Bab," meaning "the Gate ill Arabic, began to teach that God would soon "make manifest" a world teacher to unite men and women and usher in an age of peace. The Bab was martyred for ills cause by the Persian govemment and the Islamic clergy. IiI 1863, Baha'u'llah announced to the remaining followers of the Bab that he was the chosen "Manifestation of God" for this age; He called upon people to unite, saymg that only in one common faith and one order could the world find an enduring peace. The Baha'i club meets every Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Molinaro 142. The club invites all persons interested in learning more about the Babah'i faith to join them. "Baha'is know from increasing experience that this faith can save men and women from the hatreds, the pe~- simism, the corruption, and the matenalism of our age" (taken from the "Baha'i Publishing Trust").

Major" cont'd from page 1 , Over the last five years, a trend has been established as to which majors are the most popular at UW-Parkside. Business is the number one major over the last five years, followedby Sociology, Biology, English, Communications, and Psychology. There are also greater numbers of women in these majors than men. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, a trend following national numbers shows that women accounted for 82 percent of the increase in emollment from 1991 to 1992. In the fall of 1992, they represented 55 percent of all students. The numbers can also be broken down over the last five years by race. Among African American students at UW-Parkside, the Business major is first followed by Sociology,Communications, Criminal Justice, and English. For Asian students, Business is also first, followed by Biology, Computer Science, Sociology, and English.

Business was also first among Native American students, followedby Biology, Computer Science, Sociology, and English. Among students at UW-Parkside, Business, English, Biology,Communication, and Sociology were the top five majors. What makes a student decide on these majors? According to the different departments, there are many reasons for this. Some departments find that students major in a particular area because it interests them. "It's the curriculum that attracts them, I think", said English Department Chair Walter Graffin. "They understand it, and are good at it, so the~ become an English major." 'Most of the time we get our majors because they find the material really interesting':, said Sociology/ Anthropology department Chair -Mary Kay Schleiter. "We really have two different www.tiaa-creLorg groups," said Psychology departinent Chair Donald Walter. "The first group is the 'helpers,' and the second group IS the more scientific. The helpers want to help people, while the scientific group has a more academic interest in the brain," Some students even pick their major for more objective reasons. "I think for most students, they view it as being very practical," ~aid Communication department Chair Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. "Their going to need communication skills no matter what kind of job they are going to end up in." liThe biology major is very strong", said Biology department Chair Edward Wallen. "We know this because of the success in placement in terms of medical school, graduate school, and the work force." Part 2 of this series will appear in next week's issue of The Ranger.

Answer: Ouch! That was the painfully unfunny joke gomg around the Sports and Activity Center following a painfully unfunny 78 to 57 season opening loss to UWOshkosh on Nov. 17. The wound healed somewhere four days laterwhen the Rangerbeat BeloitCollege 71 to 64 in the home opener. Against UW-0shkosh, the Rangers came out ice cold missing their first 10 shots. en route to frosty 31 percent shooting night. The team's inability to find the hoop and foul trouble-lots of foul trouble-were the team's demise on that awful Friday night. Back home the following Tuesday evening, the Rangers combined an aggressive defense (25 Beloit College turnovers) with flashes of offensive brilliance in beating the Buccaneers. Quincey Moman led the attack with 18 points and 10 rebounds while Brian Coffman chipped in 15 points. Shooting 39 percent from the floor, UW-Parkside carried a five-point into halftime thanks to a buzzer beating basket by Moman who grabbed an offensive rebound, switched hands in midair and gently laid the ball into the cylinder. The lead swelled to 16 points (56-40) midway through the second half. However, Beloit wouldn't go away. The Buccaneers pulled to within six points at 66-60late in the second period but couldn't get the ball inside during the last three minutes of the game. The Rangers then converted their free throws and took home their first "W" of the year. Beloit was led by seemingly fearless (and tiny) guard Jonathan Allen who had 18, many of them from charging into the paint. Henry Grant, who lit the Rangers up at Beloit last year, was held to 11points.

The senior forward was named to two all-tournament teams in as many weeks, helping the Lady Rangers to win two of their first four games. On Friday and Saturday, Nov. 17 and 18, the women earned a split at the Jefferson Classic hosted by Winona State University in _Minnesota. The Rangers fell to Winona, 75-56, in the opener, then came back to defeat Hamline University 76-48in the consolation game. Frid~y night, the Warriors built a 39- 21-halftime lead to key the wm. Deruta Sublett led the Rangers with 17 points, Rodefer had 14. UW-Parkside was out rebounded 52 to 31. Winona State got 18 points from starting forward Nicole Reisner and 18 from Jenny Johnson off the bench. - The Lady Rangers turned the tables Saturday, out-scoring Hamline 43 to 18 in the second half for a 28 point victory. Rodefer had 19 points, Sublett 14 with Jamie Nebel and Tiesha Campbell pouring in 11and 10 each. Rodefer was named to the all-tournament team. History repeated itself last Friday and Saturday: the Rangers split two games and Rodefer was all tournament. This time, however, UW-Parkside won Friday night and played for the tournament title on Saturday. The Lady Rangers beat WebberCollege in the opener in St. Petersburg, Fla., 62- 58, Friday afternoon. Rodefer's 19 led the attack with Sublett adding 11 points, and Campbell chipping in 10. In the championship game, host Eckerd College Knocked off UWP, 68- 57. Rodefer contributed a double-double, scoring 13 points and grabbing 11 boards. Erin Crank came off the bench to score 12 points. The Lady Rangers opened conference play at Inclianapolis.

It's located on the second floor in Tallent Hall in Room 280. Known as Educators Credit Union (ECU), it serves all public and private educational employees, government workers (local, state, and federal), students of post-secondary schools and colleges in Southeastern Wisconsin, and their families. "Stop by. We'd love to open an account for you," encourages Barb Drew, branch manager. She adds that students need to bring only $5 to open a savings account and just their student J.D. and a drivers license to open a checking account. "We're very handy because we are right here on campus," says Drew, "We offer a lot of things especially for students."- Others you may see while banking at the ECD are Jodie Fraga, Member Service, and Polly Allen, Head Teller. The ECU advertises various checking accounts including totally free checking with no minimum balance and no monthly service charge. They also offer savings accounts and money markets. In addition, the ECU has numerous loans including student loans with low rates. This is because ECU is a non-profit organization. The money it makes is returned to their shareholders in the form of low rates, no minimum balances, and no service charges. Among their loans is the ECU Education Loan which has a term of 24-72 months and can be up to $10,000. It is dIstributed directly to the university . and payments are interest only during school. This loan is helpful for students who don't qualify for other loans that are based on need/ status. It also offers a student credit card whkh enables students to begin buildmg a solid credit history. The ECU began in 1937 in Racine as the Racine Teachers' Credit Union. It now has nine branches dotting the corner of the state. According to the history on the ECU website, it has "assets exceeding $360 million [and] ... is one of the largest and most successful credit unions in southeastern Wisconsin." The location in Tallent Hall is open Monday-Thursday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Other locations are at 6040 39th Ave. in Kenosha and 1400 N. Newman Rd. in Racine.

He plans to double major in English and History, as well as enter the education program because he would like to be a high school teacher, preferably tenth grade, and eventually become a college professor. Although it was a long, time-consuming process, Venegas proved that he was dedicated in pursuing this endeavor. David E. Glaub, lecturer in the English Department, Carmen Ireland from Admissions, and Susan Gehrig, dinector of Religious Education at St. Joseph's Parish in Racine nominated Venegas for the scholarship. In addition, Venegas had to write an essay and provide college transcripts proving that he had obtained a minimum of a 3.3 G.PA. Finally, after the paper work was completed, he put everything in the mail and waited. Sometime this past June, Venegas received notice that out of 150,000 applicants, he had made it to the remaining 40,000. Then, in July the competition was narrowed even further until, at last, in August he was chosen as the first recipient of the scholarship. His reaction to being cho- UW-Parkside student Venegas Earns Gates Scholarship By Julie Thompson sen as the first recipient was, not surprisingly, humble. "1 guess 1just got lucky," he said, "1 wish that more people could have received this scholarship. I personally know of people who are hungry for a college education but also lack the funds to go to college. 1am very grateful and awestruck that 1was fortunate enough to receive the Bill Gates Scholarship." ' Venegas added, "This scholarship is for all of my fellow Latinos who have fallen through the cracks either through poverty or a system that shuffles them through to get rid of them, or just can't afford school. 1hope that by becoming a teacher, 1 can truly help others to get ahead in life and be a pos- . ilive role model for those who have none, "1 would like to thank God, for whom 1would never have made it this far in life! 1 thank my mother, grandmother and all of those who have supported me in good times and bad, especially Carmen Ineland who helped me get back into school and Raquel Palacios from Student Support Services who encourages me to see the positive side of things. • This past August, Raymond Venegas' goal of being a teacher became more attainable. Last spring, Venegas, a UW-Parkside sophomore, picked up a brochure on campus that instructed him to send for information regarding the Bill Gates Scholarship. Shortly after sending in the form, Venegas received a packet containing a long list of instructions that he needed to complete before being entered into the competition. To meet eligibility requinements for the scholarship students must be Hispanic, have full-time status, have a 3.3 G.P.A. or higher, and be-able to demonstrate leadership abilities. Venegas met all the requirements and found that demonstrating leadership abilities wasn't a problem, either. When he's not studying, Venegas is either helping troubled youth or teaching religion to 10th grade students at his local parish, St. Joseph's in Racine. He also served as vice president on the Board of Directors for the Spanish Center in Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties. In addition to his list of impressive credentials, Venegas is also active in Latinos Unidos, Student Support Services, and the Office of Page 12 November 30, 2000- The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Guess What Club This Is and Win a Prize!!!!

Honoring best UWP racultv, staff The problem with awards is that often there aren't enough of them to go around. Selecting UW-Parkside's top educator, its best researcher, or top classified staff person is difficult because there are so many worthy candidates. Some deserving people are going to be left out. This year was no exception. Despite the inherent unfairness in the system, it's hard to argue with the list of UW-Parkside people who received honors this year. From Stella Gray Teaching Award winners Annette Weisner and Norm Cloutier and the diversity award-winning Biological Sciences Department to research and creative activity recipient Jay Sounderpandian, John Buenker and Art Dudycha who received distinguished service honors, and classified staff award winner Jim Hastings, each recipient was well qualified to take home their awards. The Stella Gray Award is emblematic of teaching excellence at UW-Parkside. Annette Weisner and See Faculty, Page 3 Need help?

Also included were questions geared toward indicating the voters' age, race, education, sex, and income. UW-Parkside Professor Fred Monardi is one of only nine research heads p artici pating in the exit polls across the country in cities including New York City, Los Angeles, Mi_ami, Jacksonville, and ~orid~. The objective, according to Professo r Monardi, was 'to get a dearer picture of what citizens believe to be political corruption, what ~e causes and consequenc1:s. of such corruption are believed to be and where political corruption fits into popular under standings of politics." In the Kenosha area, .25 p olling precincts were selected based on the diversity of the area in terms of race, ethnicity, income and partisanship. Utilizing his American Politics class and Public Opinion class, Professor Monardi sent fifty students out to the selected locations to conduct the p olling. The thought was that if each researcher, present at their respective locations for periods of four hours each, were to randomly The completely confidential survey was intended to be the vehicle for the research. As the voters left the polling places, the UWP students stopped every fifth voter and asked them to take five minutes to fill out the survey. Most voters were more than willing to participate. In fact, some of the UWP students even had to turn away people who came and asked if they could take the survey as well. It was very important for the results of the survey to be strictly oased on a turn-out of every fifth voter. While the surveys were confidential, the questions were intended to find out as much about the particular voter as possible, barring anything that might indicate the identity of the voter. In this way, researchers would be able to coincide data with certain income-based, ethnic or age groups. Some examples of what type of questions were on the survey are, "In ~overnment, corrupt means are needed to achieve unportant goals-Usually or Rarely;" "Which level of ~ovemment seems most corruptLocal, State or National;" and "In politics, taking care I was able to visit four of the polling places at which the research was being conducted and found the researchers and the voters very willing to talk about the research and their views on corruption.

While some of the polling places experienced low tum-out, others made up for it with extremely high voter counts, thus making it possible for the researchers to reach many voters. For instance, at the Washington Road Fire Station, turn-out was very low, but at the Stocker Elementary School, lines were out the door for most of the day (according to Tucker and Pelski).

Wafla and Snvder clash in Mid-East conflict during special PIC program ByDaniel Frake The Middle-East conflict came to UW-ParksideThursday, November 16 as Dr. Marwan Waffa and Professor AaronSnyder came together to debate the conflict, its causes, and possible solutio~. Sronsored by the Parkside lnternationa Club (pIC) and mediated by Professor Roby Rajan, the debatewas to be an open forum for people to express their views and share ideas on what can be done to resolvethe problems in the Mid-East. . From the very beginning, though, it seemed like it would be anything but solution-driven. Dr. Waffa, Dean ofthe School of Business and Technology,. began his remarks by giving an outline of the history of the conflict. Whileacknowledging that both parties In the conflict had been in the wrong at different times, Dr. Waffa's outlirieseemed oppressively skewed tow~rds painting Palestinians as the outright victims. Later, as Professor Snyderof the philosophy department gavehis ~perung remarks, for a brief moment It appeared that the talk Wouldchange its direction into one of seekin&a solution, Professor Snyder reo discussed the issue that, for too blng, people had been assigning b amerather than working together to ~J.eace to the land. s ortunately, neither man, nor the ~tors, seemed willing to proceed own this road of thought. e While both men are obviously ~tremely intelligent, neither really owed the capacity to discuss the issue at length without blaming one side or the other for various events which have taken place throughout history. At one point, for example, Professor Snyder, visibly upset, mentioned the fact that he has seen Palestinian cartoons 'depicting jewish people horribly and like monsters, a statement which threw the entire room of spectators, largely Palestinian, into a frenzy, The issues surrounding the Middle- Eastern conflict are confusing and often difficult to discuss strictly historically, let alone with the added burden of finding a solution. Both Dr. Waffa and Professor Snyder agreed that there are many causes of the conflict, including ethnicity, territoriality, political autonomy and religious differences. However, agreeing on possible solutions is difficult when one or both of the two sides refuse to compromise and essentially banter back and forth about who is worse. One would expect more from two highly educated men. In fairness to Dr. Waffa and Professor Snyder, however, it should be noted that this talk is a good example. of how difficult it is to solve problems when emotions run so high, as they do in the complicated web of the Mid-East conflict. Perhaps, peace would be achieved at a greater level in. this world if men and women were willing to put their interests aside for the time being until compromises can be worked out that would be for the better of the people as a whole, and the world in general.

Walla and snvder clash ·n Mid-East conflict du ring special PI G program By Daniel Frake The Middle-Ea t conflict came to UW-Parkside Thursday, November 16 as Dr. Marwan Waffa and Professor Aaron Snyder came together to debate the conflict, its causes, and pos ible solutio~. Sfonsored by the Parkside Intemationa Club (PIC) and mediated by Professor Roby Rajan, the debate was to be an open forum for people to express their views and share ideas on what can be done to resolve the problems in the Mid-East. . From the very beginning, though, 1t seemed lik e it would be anything but solution-driven. Dr. Waffa, Dean of the School of Business and Technology,_ began his remarks by giving an ou~e of the history of the corulict. ~~ acknowledging that both parties m the co nflict had been in the ~g at different times, Dr. Waffa's outline seemed oppressively skewed tow~ painting Palestinians as the oumght victims. Later, as Professor Snyder_ of the philosophy department gave his operung remarks for a brief moment it app eared th~t the talk wo~~d change its direction into one of :e a solution. Professor Snyder 1 en ussed the issue that, for too b~ people h ad been assigning b . e rather than working together to ~J:ace to the land. S!)ecta ortunately, n either man, nor the d"oWn tors, seemed willing to proceed own ~s road of thought. ex While ~oth m en are obviously sh trem.ely mtelligent, neither really OWed the capaci ty to discuss the issue at length without blaming one side or the other for various events which have taken elace throughout history. At one point, for example, Professor Snyder, visibly upset, mentioned the fact that he has seen Palestinian cartoons depicting Jewish people horribly and like monsters, a statement which threw the entire room of spectators, largely Palestinian, into a frenzy. The issues s urrounding the MiddleEastern conflict are confusing and often difficult to discuss strictly hlstorically, let alone with the added burden of finding a solution. Both Dr. Waffa and Professor Snyder agreed that there are many causes of the conflict, including ethnicity, territoriality, political autonomy and religious differences. However, agreeing on possible solutions is difficult wnen one or both of the two sides refuse to compr01nise and essentially banter back and forth about who is worse. One would expect more from two highly educated men. In fairness to Dr. Waff a and Professor Snyder, however, it should be noted that this talk is a good example of how diffic ult it is to solve problems when emotions run so high, as they do in the complicated web of the Mid-East conflict. Perhaps, peace would be achieved at a greater level in_ 1:hls world if men and women were willing to put their interests asi~e for the time being until compronuses can be worl<ed out that would be for the better of the people as a whole, and the world in general.

This cemetery is much worse than anything that can be imagined. This is the fina1 resting place for the neglected, and the forgotten. The Kenosha County Cemetery has many members each with their own story. It is a shame that most of their stones will never be told. A rusty gate surrounds the cemetery from the rest of the land around it. The padlock that once kept the gates closed tightly rusted away long ago. Three large elm trees stand guard in the middle of the cemetery; their branches are gnarled and seem to be reaching down as a last remembrance to those who have . passed on. These gigantic guardians appear to be the only visitors to this lonely place. The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside The newly trimmed grass is the only sign ofan outside world. Along the fence is a thick forest. The com fields beyond the remain unseen from this place. The only sounds are the rustling of the elms' leaves and the peaceful sound of insects in the distance. There are no flashy headstones, no Mausoleums, and no flowers, just concrete slabs. The headstones are in neat rows but they are no where near perfect. Most have extreme signs of decay. Some markers have been swallowed up by the earth. The top portion of the concrete is the only thing that can be seen. Some headstones have a plaque attached to them, yet the engraved words are hard to make out. Almost every grave has been vandalized. Some headstones are kicked over, while others are scratched beyond recognition. Traces of white paint can be seen on all of the headstones. The ground is uneven in places, since it is trying to UWP. Professors were once like us By Zach Robertson Craig Braun Contributing: Sheree Homer The second article in a 3-part series For those students who have not yet picked a major, there's still time. Many students do not pick their majors until their sophomore or junior year. Like many students, a number of professors at UW-Parkside have made changes in their college career during their undergraduate studies. New programs are often created at universities which can give students different opportunities, or, some just switch simply because their interests change. There are also those that know what they want to do right from the start. Many professors at UW-Parkside have taken a very smooth path which took them to where they are today. History professor Laura Gellott knew that history was what she wanted to major in and stayed with it. "I knew from the time I was in grade school that I wanted to major in history when I went to college," said Gellott. "I was influenced by my mother, who was a high school history teacher, and my uncle, who was getting his Ph.D. in history at the time." Psychology professor Sylvia Beyer never changed her major during college simply because, "nothing could be more interesting." . Susan Takata, criminal justice professor, was originally a journalism major because of an interest in writing during her high school years. "I switched to sociology because so much of journalistic reporting required knowledge of society," said Takata. Professor Fay Akindes from the communication department also had an interest in writing and got her bachelor's degree in journalism. She was introduced to public relations during her time at the University of Hawaii- Manoa, and had the opportunity to work with photographers, graphic designers, and TV producers. Keep in mind that not all professors know exactly what they want at the start of their quest for their bachelor's degree. Evelyn Zepp, a professor with the modern languages department, originally started out her college career by studying math. "I was doing integrals and seeing vectors in my sleep," said professor Zepp. English professor Frances Kavenik said that English was actually her third major after math and sociology. "I had several great teachers who influenced me along the way," said Kavenik. "The fact that I love to read and found differential equations less delightful than I had thought they would be, and quantifying people's behavior likewise and less enjoyable than literature." Rozanne Leppington from the Communication department was transformed by taking art and the history of art by her art master when she was 14. She received her B.A. in fine art and cinematography from Leeds University in England. "I did lots of various jobs, selfemployed art work, then worked as a medical artist in a teaching hospital, then m~re self employed illustrating, secretanal work, and then I discovered communication when I went b~ck to school much later," said Leppmgton. Any student with doubts about their education now has proof that it is acceptable to change you mind a few times and still be successful. It has worked for many professors here' at UW-Parkside. settle what was buried beneath it. The headstones themselves hold a feeling of sadness. There are 109 grave markers that have something inscribed or chiseled on them. One hundred and fifty four have no writing at all. To this day no one knows who lies down below. There are graves with names of people and the dates of when they died. In some cases, it tells how they died, such as "drowned." Most of the graves are inscribed with names of mystery: "Unknown Male," "Unknown Want," "Unknown Skeleton." In the front row of the cemetery are the oldest graves. In 1924, an "Unknown White" was buried next to an "Unknown Colored." This is considered ironic by the standards of the time period. Now, they lay side-by-side in harmony for an endless time. The burial ground is known as Potter's Field, the poor cemetery. Many of these people were murdered. A considerable number were drunks Wh; many can be classified as h~melesse They had no familie.s or money,and that IS why they remam m this placefor eterruty. Many graves hold the remainsof those found after tragic train wrecks Some hold the bodies, and in man' cases, the body parts that washed upo~ the shores of Lake Michigan. Theywere all buried in their own cheap Wooden county-provided caskets with a chuck of stone on the earth above their heads It is an urban legend in Kenoshathai if one walks in the cemetery at night he or she will fall right into a coffin.' Of course, this has never happened because no one dares to visit at night: Not many people even know this place exists, and so all the unfortunate people are unknown even through death. These people will always remain the forgotten, but some of us can chooseto remember them. • OPEN HOUSE The Ranger News Monday, December 11 12 noon - 1:00 p.m. The Ranger News office is located in lower Wyllie Hall across from the Career Center. soc NIGHT FRI&AY NIGHT, &ECEMBER 15, Amll 6:00 PM, yOU CAN CASH IN ON THE FOLLOWINC 51X SPECIAlS: 12 OZ.

Most students should answer "yes" to this question considering most careers involve working with people. Business majors, pre-health majors, communication majors, pre-certified teaching majors, etc. will all be expected to work in the public. This internship aids in developing skills students need in order to be successful in diverse settings. The first half of the semester, students meet in class once a week for dis- -cussion and activities led by Professor Christie. The in-class work helps prepare the students for the real-life expe- L riences they will have in the second half of the semester. During the second half, students take part in a supervised internship in the community participating in various events such as tutoring, setting up after-school programs, and even playing basketball with pre-college youth. "The idea is to try to match students with a person of an ethnic background different from their own," say Christie. "To gain a better understanding of some one outside their race." Although this is an excellent opportunity for all students, Professor Christie highly recommends this class to business majors. "Anybody in business _ [would find this internship important) because corporations are always looking for people who have a multiethnic framework in order to get along with other [diverse) peop1e. Those who have this kind of experience will be the first to get hired because we are in a globalized economy." Spaces in class are limited.

'The idea is to try to match students with a person of an ethnic background different from their own," say Christie. "To gain a better understanding of some one outside their race." Although this is an excellent opportunity for all students, Professor Christie highly recommends this class to business majors. "Anybody in business [would firtd this internship important] because corporations are always looking for people who have a multiethnic framework in order to ge t along with other [diverse] people. Those who have this kind of experience will be the first to get fiire d because we are in a globalized economy." Spaces in class are limited.

Then shortly after 11 a.m. the announcement was made to cancel classes. What'a relief to those students still at home peering out the windows at their cold cars. thinking about the snow swrrlmg through the air that was sure to keep visibility low. Residents were also glad to stay warm indoors as huge drifts formed around their dorm entrances and their parked cars. Eventually they had to venture outdoors to get dinner and even move their cars to the Tallent lot so the resident lots could be plowed. Disregarding the crazy cold night air, some residents ventured out and had some winter fun. Robert Coombs and Duane Dacres were heading for dinner when a small snow ball fight broke out. Then according to Coombs a, "Snow ball grew into a snow man." The fun however didn't stop there. They proceeded to make a "recliner out front" and currently have plans to make a love seat.

"Crazy Coombs" finds a friend Prints in desperate need of framing By Gina Ciardo Every year, the University of Wisconsin- Parkside purchases prints from its annual small print exhibition, which has been held every January for the past 13 years in the Communication Arts Gallery. So far, UWP owns over $20,000 worth of prints that are placed throughout the campus. Inprevious years, these prints have been framed using discretionary funds supplied by the chancellor. Over the past several years, the funding for framing has ceased due to a change in financial priorities. Now more than 35 prints sit awaiting frames, which will now total several thousand dollars. Art professor, Doug De Vinny, who organizes the Parkside National Small Print Exhibition, says he's mentioned the framing dilemma to Chancellor John Keating and explains, "[Chancellor Keating] did tell me that he would try to get some money allocated for framing when 1 asked him [this fall]." For now, funds are being used on other things. In another attempt to accumulate financial support for the framing, DeVinny wrote up a grant proposal for the Lectures in Fine Arts Committee. The committee, headed by Michael. Gurllnan, chair, not only granted money to differ the cost of the juror who gives a public lecture at the annual exhibition, but gladly split the cost of framing six pieces. He states "1 II r t was rea y amazing. I've never written a grant or asked for money from anybody who didn't cut the amount or ... refuse it. 1 got a call from Michael Gurtman who said ... the committee was talking and would like to help you frame some of the work."

Letter To the Editor To the Editor: I read Tyrone Payton's very interesting commentary in the November 9th issue of "The Ranger," on the GLO discussion on homosexuality and reliqion. As the speaker that evening, my intention was to give a talk about the Bible and homosexuality, followed by a question-and-answer discussion. I was not able to get very far into my talk before I was interrupted with arguments and 9uesllons. However, unlike Mr. Payton, I did not think this was such a bad thing. t IStrue that the discussion got heated at times, but at no time did I feel I was being diSrespected as a person. Those who argued vociferously for their point of viewon either side-were never hateful. . Also, although Mr. Payton is probably right that no one's mind was cha~ged, I think s.ome clarity may have been gained about why people held the opmions they did. And let's face it, on a subject as controversial as this one-with one group defending homosexuality and one group arguing against it-it would be surprising if much consensus were reached! Mr. Payton remarks that it "wasn't a gang war, but if we were all less civilized, I do believe I'd hear some threats and see some punches tossed before the night concluded." Well, there were no threats, there were no punches, we were and are civilized. And although, like Mr. Payton, I would like to have had a longer, more in-depth discussion of the issues, I do think the evening was an interesting one. I even think we all left with something to think about. One slight correction to Mr. Payton's comments on my talk, however. I did not say the Bible forbids eating meat. I said it forbids eating red meat (i.e., "meat. with blood in it" [Lev. 19:26J-as well as wearing clothes that are made of a mixture of cotton and wool [Deut. 22:11), planting fields with two kinds of seeds [Deut. 22:9), or painting a picture, sculpting a statue, or getting tattooed [Ex. 20:4). If you're a man, you ,carfttrim the edges of your beard [Lev. 19:27], ., change your grandaughter s diapers [Lev. 18:10), or play football (since LeVitiCUS 11:7-8 bars touching the skin or carcass of a pig). If you rape a girl, you should pay her father 50 shekels of silver and marry her [Deut. 22:28-29). And if your Wife or husband commits adultery, he or she should be put to death [Lev. 20:1OJ. My point was that there are many things the Bible forbids that we no longer follow today. So If we are going to condemn homosexuality because "the Bible tells me so" then perhaps we should be consistent and condemn all these other biblical "sins" as well. . Rev. Dr. Tony Larsen, Pastor -December 14, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 3 Areyour holidav colors blue & blue P ByJulie Thompson While some of you may be singing •Jingle Bells" and wishing each other a happy holiday season, the fact is severalof the people you're wishing gladtiding to may be suffenng from depression.Although in some cases, feelingblue may be temporary or due to the demands of a hectic school and worklife, being depressed can affect morethan just your holiday spirit. The Student Health and Counseling Centerrecently sponsored a depressionscreening in an attempt to help studentsand faculty determine if what theyare feeling is a mild case of the blahsor a serious illness. After filling out a screening form, students were thenencouraged to talk privately with a counselor. Students could also pick up pamphlets with further information onavariety of men1aI illnesses. As with many mental illnesses, depression carries with it the misconceptionthat depressed people are emotionally weak. However, these untruths keep many people from seekingtreatment by a person trained to treat depression . In addition to the screening, the Student Health and Counseling Center, sponsored a forum titled "Why Shouldn't I Have the Blues,"' with speaker Professor Edward Conrad from the UW-Parkside Psychology department. During the forum, Dr. Conrad made clear that having depression is, "At least as real as breaking a bone." During Dr. Conrad's 25 years as a clinical psychologist, he saw countless patients with depression and from his experience, many people are, "Told to just get over it, but you can't just get over it, it's real." Dr. Conrad also said when deciding if you should seek treatment, ask yourself the following questions: What harm is it going to do if I don't talk about it, and what good will it do if I do talk about it?" If you or someone you know suspects they me be suffering from depression, seek professional help. In Dr. Conrad's words, "There is treatment out there and it helps."

Forum on Catholicism enlighten!ng By Julie Thompson The topic of the most recent religious forum: "Being ~atholic in the 21st Century," highlighted guest speakers Professor Laura Gellott of UWP's History department and Vince Kostos, campus minister from Racine's St. Catherine's High School. The duo enlightened a modest crowd of Catholics as well as non-Catholics as to how being a member of that faith has changed over the course of the last few decades. Professor Gellott went into detail of how her Catholic upbringing evolved over the course of her lifetime, To the surprise of many, she explained how the Catholic church has changed historically. For example, it wasn't until after the 11th century, when priests were prohibited to marry, but had to take a vow of celibacy, illustrating how church laws may differ from biblical scripture, Contrastingly, Kostos covered areas specific to young adults. He said many of his.students have a "spiritual hunger" and grapple with questions like, "How should 1 practice my faith?" and "Can I 'do' faith the way I want to do it?" However, many Catholics feel the church needs to change to accommodale a changing society. They say social issues such as sexual orientation, abortion, and divorce need to be reevaluated to meet theneeds of our evol~ society. One problem discussed IS getting parents to become involved in their Child's spiritual upbringing. Kostos suggested the following: invite children to service by encouraging them to help others, get them involved, and encourage children to think of the . needs of others beyond themselves. Lastly, Kostos listed four reasons one being Catholic in the 21st century. First, he said, by being Catholic arerson has a connection to the role 0 church. Second, Catholic social teaching responds to human needs. Third, bemg Catholic places emphasis on community and the churches, 'body of people', and fourth, by being a member of the Catholic community a person can take pari in the ritual and liturgy of the church. The program was held earlier this month, and was sponsored by UWParkside's Perspectives on Religious Issues.

Once it was suggested that vano~s departments should pay for the framing of prints hanging in their area but that would only defeat the purpose of a . university collection. DeVmny explains, "In a sense it would then become 'partially their art [belonging to a particular department but,] .. .it would still be part ot the University collection." When asked about plans for fundraisers, DeVinny explains, "!'vereally got a pretty full plate with teaching and trying to do my own creative stuff. I . really don't have time and nor do I . think it's my responsibility. Ifthe University really wants to partner With this whole thing ... they should step up to the plate. Somewhere along the line, they're the ones who benefit by it." Until funds become available, there remain many prints in desperate n"ed of being properly framed. They Walt on a shelf in DeVinny's Comm Arts office. He regrets that he is the only one who can enjoy them. The 14th Parkside National Small Print Exhibition starts January 14, 2001. ~~~~~~~~~~~~===========:::~~. ~Th~e~juroris Mark Pascale, associate Let's Glow Bowling! - Moonlite Bowling -- @ Plaza Bowling Center - Friday 10:30p.m. -1:30 a.m, Allyou can bowl $8 .

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

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

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

There are numerous other benefits for students and organizations to getting involved in the phonathon this fall. Prizes are included every evening for all participants. Training is provided for all.

Bridge" set --.---.---.--~ 3.Harris'·magic creates " The first stage. of building a set st~rts ':'lith an artists concept, Keith crew then beg onto shape the set, onthis case a house in New York. Anyone who has attended a play at UW-Parkside in the last 16 years has witnessed some of the uruque and complex set designs Keith Harris has created. Harris is currently working on the Drama Department's fall production of Arthur Miller's" A View From the Bridge." Keith attended the University of Kansas, where he earned an M.F.A. in Scenic Design. He intended to go into acting, but changed his major to design scenery several years into college. He has worked here at UW-Parkside for the past 16 years, usually designing two to three; sets of scenery a school year for each Drama Department show. Harris and his Drawing up the plans for a set is not something that Can be done m a few days. Depending on the project, it takes from four to five months to draw up plans. After reading over the script numerous times, researching the play, and talking with the directors and his staff, Harris goes to the drawing board. For this current play, "A View From the Bridge," he started talking about ideas with the directors at the end of last semester. He designed it around early July, and started building it about two weeks before this semester began. The set should be completed by midOctober. The play will run the last two weekends of October. Many of the materials used in building a set are not used as the manufacturer intended. For instance, Keith has used basics like plywood and paneling materials, along with Styrofoam insulation and bug sprayers for painting. When working on a set, he finds good uses for things people normally wouldn't think of as materials used on stage. Keith receives help from some of the cast members, stage crew, and from people who have nothing to do with the Dramatic Arts Department. So students taking classes for college credit, are eligible to work on productions. Between his duties here and his family, Harris doesn't have a lot of time to work on scenery outside of the University. Although he has done repertory work and set painting in the past for The Fireside Dinner Theater in Ft.Atkinson, he hasn't done any movies or Broadway shows. However, some of his former students have. It is his hope that more of his students succeed to that level. "Keith has been our rock, He's creative, timely, a fine designer and an indispensable member of our team," said Dramatic Arts Professor Skelly Warren.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Reilly had d.Z kills and Zoiss contributed 18 digs in a losing cause. The loss dropped UW-Parkside to 4 and 13 overall and 2 and 4 in the conference. Bryanna Jurvis, above, and Lorrie Jones both scored twice against UMSL lead the Rangers to a 4-2 win. The teams were in Quincy, Ill. on Sunday, Oct. 1 and came away with mixed results.

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

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

They say that the quality and quantity just is not there. They wonder where the extra money is going when they do not use up their entire meal plan. Will they be able to buy in bulk at the end of the year or receive a refund on their money? This was a foremost question on every student's mind at the meeting on Monday, October 2nd, led by DeAnn Stone. All students living on campus are required to have a meal plan. For the 2000-20001 academic school year a block meal plan has been designated. Everyone but the seniors are required to have a meal plan that includes block meals. The smallest of these plans costs $715 and each individual block meal costs $5.80. The price is to include an all-you-can-eat-buffet or some meals sold down at the Union Square. Students are complaining that they are not getting a wide enough variety; for example stir fry was served two nights in a row. Most of the students are not eating their blocks worth. One reason for this is the dining room is only open at night from 4:30-7:00 p.m.; this causes problems for those students who work or attend classes during the evening. Marriott, the food distributor for UW-Parkside, did not renew their contract because they were losing money. UWP reached an agreement with them to continue; Marriott gave UWP various options. The meal block program was one of the options in which UWP chose in the best interest Rape: keep it from happening By Brenda Dunham Ten unsuspecting University .Residents thought they were going to a Hawaiian Luau sponsored by Resident Life. They all received a leigh and a drink. However, some of those drinks were in previously marked cups indicating, the ,possibility and ease in which someone could receive a date rape drug. Knowing that this scary possibility could be a reality, Parkside Police Officer Marlene Schlecht was there to help students realize there are things everyone can do to keep rape from happening. The first thing to know about preventing rape is understanding more about it. According to the surviving sexual assault advocates, "rape is an act of violence. Itis an attempt to control and degrade using sex as a of the students. UW-Parkside was supposed to get a Taco Bell a couple of years ago, but they declined saying not enough students lived on campus for the business to be profitable. Students would also like to see specific meals set aside on an a la carte menu. The prices of individual food items are too high, and according to Dennis Casey, "the main reason for that was the high price 0.£ gas during the summer which caused delivery backups." The new system of the dining room is also causing havoc for UWP students who live in the apartments as well as faculty and staff. A la carte is not offered at night, and so many of the professors refuse to eat here anymore. According to Professor Randy McKee, " it is easier and cheaper to pick up something from a McDonald's than to stand in line for an allyou know. "Rapists rape again and again, until caught." To keep rape from happening to you, be aware 0.£ your surroundings and walk with confidence and purpose. Don't' let Eric ROChe:Mar~eneSchlecht, and Katie Lohre cleverly teach students how to avold being a victim. weapon." It can happen to any person no matter how old or what sex they are. Rapists can be anyone, especially people drugs and alcohol cloud your judgment, trust your instincts by leaving an uncomfortable situation or place. Lock all the you-can eat buffet when you really only want a bowl of soup." Apartment students are starting to cook since it is less of a hassle and cheaper, and they think that there needs to be a different arrangement for them other than the meal block program. Meals that have not been eaten during the fall semester will carryover into the spring term. There is currently no solution to the problem of meals not eaten after the entire year. Meetings are being held to come up with a solution. Buying bulk may be a possible option, which is now available with the a la carte. The meal plan is not going to go away; however, there may be solutions to the problems. If any student is concerned with these issues, then they should feel free to attend. The next meeting will be on Monday, October 23rd in Moln 114 at noon. doors and windows in your home and car.

Attacking must be quick Continued back page... -- Student Voices AIDS Walk and its protestors by Chris Cantir Around five thousand people raised $692,544 during the AIDS Walk in Milwaukee on October first. The weather was perfect and people walked for a good cause AIDSis a disease that kills people every day. The walkers collected donations that will go to 15 local organizations that raise awareness and help people diagnosed with the HIV virus. Close to the end of the walk, the participants were heckled by a small crowd of protesters. They thought we were raising money for a gay cause. They should read the final press release of the AIDS Walk organization: "Sharing the stage with national spokesperson Jackie [oyner-Kersee was Nile Sandeen, the young man who inspired the creation of Media takes sides Political review by Shane McDonald It seems that the media do not cover each candidate equally. It does not cover third party candidates like Ralph Nader and Pat Buchanan. It emphasizes Governor Bush's mistakes and ignores Vice-President Gore's. Right now, many of you are probably saying, "thatis your opinion, but where is your proof?" Well, how about the facts. Fact #1 Negative Repablican coverage RATS...A Republican ad attempted to convince voters that Democratic plans would involve to many bureaucrats. The words of the ad were fragmented, and when they fragmented the word bureaucrats it ended with the word "rats." I have no opinion on wether it was intended to poke fun at the Democratic party or not. I didn't make the ad. My point is the Democratic Party felt that the ad contained subliminal messages and the story was covered by the national media. @#!$%%...When Governor Bush used obscene language toward a member of the media, it was covered. Fact #2 Lack of negative Democrat coverage Fund raisers at The White House? On Friday, September 22, the CBS Evening News and ABC's World News failed to report anything about the White House's sleepover lists, which were lists of Clinton campaign donors who had slept over at the White House. You would think that the American tax payers have a right to know who is staying in our government buildings. It is our taxes which pay for government buildings such as the White House. The politicians in those buildings should be our employees since we pay Camp Heartland, a summer camp experience for children with HIV." People who came out to protest the walk should know that AIDS affects anyone - gay or straight. The 5,000 walkers for them with our tax money. The fact that major news networks tried to hide this information aggravates me and it should aggravate you, too! Look for the Union Label...In a meeting with union workers, AI Gore stated that when he was a child his parents sang him to sleep with the Union song "Look for the Union Label." There was only one problem with this, the song was written when Al Gore was 27 years old. Now I'm not going to judge the vice-president, it may have been an honest mistake. My real concern is that (with the exception of the Fox News Network) none of the major networks pointed out Gore's mistake. Fact #3 No third party coverage It is upsetting that none of the third party candidates get consistent coverage. You would think that in America everyone gets to have their voice heard. Our diversity is what makes our country great. But, once again it seems that the mainpassed by those clowns and had to ignore them. Nobody was going to stop walking and ask for forgiveness. Nobody was going to agree with what the protesters were saying. If it was a gay cause, who cares? It's about helping people. Bottom line - walkers got together and raised more than half a million dollars. And people protestingmade fools of thernselves. If you would like to get more information on the AIDS Walk and the disease itself, go to the AIDS Walk Web site www.arcw.org. stream networks have decided to censor the campaigns in order to get their boys elected. Strong accusation you say? Well according to Fox News several of the heads of the news media were on the White House sleep-over lists, including the head of CNN. In the 1996 election 90% of the media voted for Clinton/Gore. I wish that the heads of the media would refrain from endorsing candidates. I must admit the first presidential debate was a pleasant surprise. The mainstream media did not show as much bias as in past months. However, it is still disappointing that Nader and Buchanan were not allowed in the debate. They were allowed to state their views after the debate, on Fox News, which I feel provides the best political coverage on TV. Itis important to vote, but it is equally important to be informed. All this talk about "Rock the Vote" is fine but make sure you know who your voting for. You wouldn't want to vote for a candidate with different views than yours, would you? - trying to force a loss on Boone's Titans. He threatens to publicly expose any, and all of the officials who are trying to bring down Boone's career as a coach. Yoast and Boone form a lifetime friendship, based on a mutual respect of each other, which still exists today. They continued to coach together for several more years at T.e. Williams high school, until they both retired in the early eighties. This film is a certain Oscar contender with its superb story line that is both heart wrenching and heart warming. The entire cast did an exceptional job of bringing today's audience back into the mindset of the turbulent early '70s. For those of us who were not a part of the segregation upheaval, we can certainly appreciate the efforts of this team, and its coaches, to break down skin color barriers and show the rest of the world how to be friends with their neighbors. 6 Movie Review'.· <:. of their games. The friendships among the Titans become so strong on the field, that they also believe in , and stand by, the integrity of each other when they are off of the field.

Coach Boone and his family also go through a tough period of acclimation into the white community. He has to worry all season because he finds out from the board that losing just one game will result in the termination of his position with the school. Yoast sees that the board of education and sports officials are unethically, and illegally Remember the Titans By Lisa Whitcomb Disney's latest film Remember the Titans may be rated PG, but it is a must see for people of all ages because it is an inspirational story about life that is not just for kids. The film retells a true story about the racial segregation of a public school in Virginia in 1971. Once totally white, T'C, Williams High School is forced to combine with an all-black high school. The result is a volatile mix of hatred, misunderstandings, and lack of mutual respect between the students and the parents, of both colors. As upset as the parents are about the forced segregation, the tensions in the community really mount when long-time favorite white football coach Bill Yoast, played by Will Patton, is replaced with black coach Herman Boone, played by Denzel Washington. White parents and players immediately object and resent being coached by a blackman. But Boone holds his ground and abides by his number one rule: treat everyone the same, regardless of color, and expect no less from anyone on his team. "Respect, I always demand it of myself. Iwas taught to respect another man's beliefs, his culture, his space. Whatever Imight think of him, Imust treat him with respect," Boone states during the film. Boone puts his players through rigorous and intensive football training, but the players refuse to bond. To truly unify his team, Boone makes the players sit, eat, sleep, and learn about each other until everyone on the team is like a brother. The students resist his tough ways of coaching, but it doesn't take long before racial barriers begin to crumble and out of the ruble emerges strong friendships that will last a lifetime. Assistant coach Yoast begins to see Boone as the strong leader that he really is, and he respects the honesty and integrity of the new head coach's ways. The players must convince the rest of the students at the school and all of their parents that an interracial community can work. They do this by playing strong and winning all Will Patton (center, left) and Academy Award-winner Denzel Washington (center, right) star as high school football coaches Bill Yoast and Herman Boone, respectively, who In 1971 take an Alexandria, Vir., football team and transform the players into winners.

Inthe case where the rapist has a weapon you may have no choice but to submit. In this case do whatever it takes to survive. If you become a rape victim, get medical attention as soon as possible. Do not shower, wash, douche, or change your clothes. Important evidence can be destroyed. Then seek support for emotional trauma. If it happens to someone you know, support him or her by accompanying them to where ever they need to go whether it is the hospital, the.police station or counseling center. There are about 50 Surviving Sexual Assault Advocates over campus. If someone needed help, they could go to them or to the campus police. "There are defiantly people who can help," said Eric Roche. The Surviving Sexual Assault Advocates will be having a training session January 25. "The more advocates we have the more survivors we have," says Katie Lohre. "If it helps one person who has been a victim who never had the help then it was all worth it," said Schlecht. "Spread the word and be more safe," says Roche. UWP receives diversity award today The first-ever Wisconsin Diversity Award will be presented to UW-Parkside during a ceremony in' Madison today. The University is being honored by the state's Department of Employment Relations (DER) and the Council on Affirmative Action. UW-Parkside's comprehensive recruitment plan and what DER Secretary Peter Fox called its, "Tremendous change in diversity hiring" were reasons for the award. UW-Parkside was one of 26 UW System campuses eligible for the award. Another 27 state agencies were invited' to apply. Each campus' and agency's diversity program was reviewed for its impact on their overall diversity achievements. "Receiving this award is a major honor for UW-Parkside, and is indicative of the effort put forth by the entire campus and community," said Chancellor Jack Keating. "Every academic and administrative department has made a conscious effort to bring greater diversityto theirprograms. I think we have not only attracted a diverse workforce, we've attracted a talented workforce that also happens to be diverse." Of those hired by UWParkside from June 1, 1999 to May 31, 2000, 12 percent were African American, 6.3 percent were Hispanic while 4.1 percent had Asian backgrounds. Positions filled included faculty, classified staff, and academic staff. "We are recruiting a more diverse student population to meet the UW System's Plan 2008 goals. It's important for us to have a diverse staff," diversity guru Herbert Pitts said. "A diverse faculty and staff gives students role models and mentors they can emulate during their education." Keating added the entire community and the region worked in partnership to achieve this recognition. "We now have to gear up to improve our record. But for now, all who worked toward our goal are to be congratulated." _ ..........-- Microsoft Wlndows Mlllennlum Ed1t1onUpgrade Microsoft VlsuaJ Studio Pro 6.0 Bundle $28 Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 Standard Ed. $28 $48 Save BIG on software from the Wisconsin Integrated Software Catalog (WISC): Microsoft Office 2000 Premium Edition (8 CD set) $30 Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional Upgrade $28 Microsoft Office 98/FrontPage Bundle (,Mac) $28 Microsoft Wlndows 98 2nd Edition Upgrade $28 $28 F1IeMaker Pro Version 5 Apple Mac as 9 $38 For more info, technical support, and license deta.ils, seewww.wisc.edu/wisc WISC software is only aval1a.ble to registered students at UW-8ystem schools and Wisconsin Teabnical Colleges.
