Inside the marooned vehicle were Glorianna Daggy, 79, and Rose Bruno, 88. The students, Joseph Donnerbauer and David Place, both Parkside j0l;igers, waded through the chilly water to pull the women out of the car. "I didn't have a choice" said Place. After three trips to get the women, their walkers, and a blanket from the back of the vehicle, the two students wrapped the ladies in the blanket and offered the shirts off their backs to keep the women's feetwarm. The women had been stranded on the flooded bridge for approximately an hour, and claimed they saw three other cars come down to the bridge and turn back. -"I figured any decent person would have came out and helped:' remarked Donnerbauer. "You'd think a person would have some feelings inside." As Donnerbauer comforted the ailing victims, Place ran to dial 911. Fortunately Joseph KickIer and his family were approximately 100 yards away. Fickler was completely unaware of the ladies' distress call,but when Placepleaded for help, Fickler and his wife, Julie, and his daughter and son, Stephanie and Christopher, Peek under the covers The Ranger News exposed Sarah Olsen Co-Editor~in-Chief All work and no play makes for a boring newspaper.

As Place took the garments back to the women to help keep them warm, Fickler and his familyraced their vehicle over to a nearby gas station to dial 911. After Somers rescue squad members arrived on the scene to escort the two ladies to Aurora Healthcare center, the Pickler family offeredthe two heroes a seatin their car to try to warm them up. The two women are home safe today and say they hold the highest respect for the two student heroes that carne to their aid.

Newspaper staff creates legacy for journalists Sarah Olsen Co-Editor-in-Chief The staff of The Ranger News returned from the National College Newspaper Convention Sunday, March 25th prepared to toss tradition and custom out the window. Armed with enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge, the staff is working to transform The Ranger into the true voice of the student body by ushering in a new legacy of journahsm at Parkside. The first order of business to be performed upon returning to Parkside was to shock the reporters at the regular Monday meeting. "1 told the reporters that the newspaper sucks, but we now have the ability to change 'that" says Sarah Olsen, co-editor-inchief. "We did not know how to properly run a newspaper· before, but that is not the case anymore." Staff members are busy sharing the knowledge they learned at the conference and training a team to take over the newspaper next year. Attendants of the regular Monday meetings are taking part in seminars designed to help writers become better journalists. The reporters are learning basic journalism skills such as how to write a better headline and how to get a good interview, with more information on the way. In addition to implementing new training techniques, the staff has been restructured and new positions have been created. The staff is recruiting journalists, investigative reporters, cartoonists, political analysts, design and layout managers, and opinion essayists who are willing to be innovative and take risks. The most obvious change to the newspaper is apparent in the new layout designed by Forchette. "In order to be able to compete with other newspapers, the design needed to become more innovative, daring, original, and fun" says Porchette, who attended several seminars where he was Continued on page 5 .~-~- ..........

ByBrenda Dunham One night Christine, Sarah, and I went for dessert at Mel's Diner. Our waiter asked where we were from, and when I responded with "We're from Wisconsin" he laughed and repeated "Wes-KONsin?!" Apparently, we all have accents - ken ya imagen that, eh? Westarted taking notice of our Canadian accents and quickly became the butts of our own jokes. I, however, won the award for "Most Predominant WesKON-sin Accent." Don't ya know that San Francisco doesn't have cows, unless it is a statue in front of Hard Rock Cafe? Just to warn you if you go to San Francisco don't be asking for a Tyme machine. People will think ya're literally nuts. San Franciscans don't have bubblers, they drink from water fountains. They also don't have soda, they drink pop. If'n ya ken remember the lingo you'll be better off than us, and maybe you won't even be laughed at. As ya can imagen its good to be horne were the way I talk doesn't stand out so much. However I'll have to be putting my cote (coat) and boo-uts (boots) back on. The Walking Germ By Dan White b Unfortunately, I ended ul?, emg "the walking germ' because I caught a cold due to the change ill the climate. Although 1was sick for a good portion of the trip I did manage to attend the seminars. I also managed to give a cold to another member of the group and who knows how many other people! I learned many keys to maintaining the funds of the newspaper, successful advertising strategies, and to not blow your nose with hotel Kleenex (it really hurts after too many blows!) Hopefully, the techniques I learned will keep the newspaper healthy - unlike myself! "When in Rome, do as the Romans" By Pete Forchette During the normal school day, it is not uncommon for people to hear me quote a song, poem, or movie. But while in San Francisco, I found myself saying a quote in particular more than any other - "While in Rome, do as the Romans." Now, don't get carried away, as I certainly didn't, I assure you. But one can't help but notice how different things are away from Keno-where (Kenosha). One of the very first things that struck me as odd was the ride from the airport in San Francisco to our hotel downtown. We were graciously escorted by our taxi cab driver, first tluough a red and blue gang war zone, and then past a popular transsexual prostitution comer. Now, you Just can't find those kind of things in your backyard around here .: The next morning I awoke to the hustle and bustle of the city life below me. Hills made of buildings and houses dictated the movements of all the sports cars, buses, and trolleys that crawled along its alleys. The wildlife we encountered along the- way later that week also made me stop and think. The waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe got us all "rowdy," a metallic robot man was passing out candy to strangers for spare change. And who could forget about Aunt Charlie, the eccentric, cross-dressing drag queen? -- So, as you can see I had plenty of reasons for blurting out my quote of quotes during my adventure ill Rome, I mean San Francisco. And in case you were wondering, no, I didn't leave my heart there. The Bitch By Sarah Olsen Sometimes in life we are forced to assume a role that is not our usual disposition. While in San Francisco, I became "The Bitch" of the group - not to my group, just to those who got in my way. The first time my temper was tested was when we arrived in St. Louis for a layover. After a quick bite to eat, we headed to the ticket counter ready to embark on our connecting flight to the golden city. Imagine our surprise when the snippy flight attendant announced, "Your plane already left." Immediately my hand flew to my hip and my inner bitch was unleashed. "What do you mean our plane left? We still have at least one minute before the .plane is supposed to depart!" Needless to say, we are not seasoned travelers and this experience has laught us a valuable lesson regarding time management. After an extended layover, and an impossibly long flight, we finally arrived at the hotel, 6 a.m, Wisconsin time, 4 a.m. San Francisco time. We trudged to the counter, ready to welcome some Holiday Inn hospitality. The gentleman at the counter punched our names into the counter and promptly announced, "We do not have your rooms anymore." Now, I am not normally a horrible person, but our little friend at the counter would swear otherwise. "What do you mean we don't have a room?" I asked, as a deadly caIm settled over the lobby. I'm not sure what happened next, but according to first-hand accounts, my eyes glowed red, my head spun in circles on my neck, and the man at the counter suddenly found two available rooms. Tour Guide Barbie By Christine Agaiby "Rise and shine everybody, we have a busy day ahead of us and we can t just waste the day in bed now, can we?" You may think it's easy_ always being the peppy, energetic one, but maybe you should try waking up four crab-asses used to sleeping in until afternoon class. On the agenda for the first day, we started with breakfast at Ghiradelli Square where I forced scalding posh coffee down their tluoats. I wanted lively group members at the meetings, not sleep)' ones. After the morning conferences we had lunch in Chinatown where I forced them to eat crab rangoons. No one was going to be Jicky about trying new foo on this trip; I didn't care if ther were allergic to shellfish. then quickly ushered them into the trolley headed towards Fisherman's Wharf where we utilized brief photo opportunities. I had something truly special planned for the evening. We sang and danced, mingling with the best of the locals at Aunt Charlie's, a drag queen hot spot. All this and more, packed into one exhausting day. Besides planning every detail of the trip, I was also responsible for translating for the WesKon-sinite, soothing the germ, taming the Roman, and calming the bitch._ As you can see, we truly did succeed in doing it all on this trip and still made it to all our meetings without a problem. I hope you've all enjoyed reading about our wonderful experience and have found the trip 'to be as fascinating as we did. It was great having you along as you ventured through our grand voyage to San Francisco. B'bye now. B'bye, B'bye. B'bye, now. B'bye. Are they lone yet. ..are thJ::Jlkne? Goo ,my cheeks are . . g me.

March 8, 2001 Go ahead and spoil yourself with Chaco/at Lynn Garcia Staff Reporter C hoco/at, nominated for Best Picture, takes place in a small French village. Almost everyone in the community is religious and does not allow themselves to enjoy the pleasures of life. The mayor, Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), literally runs the village. The young priest has to have his sermon looked at and approved before he preaches it to the village people. It's almost as if the mayor is God. Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter, Anouk arrive in the village and open a chocolate shop just in time for Lent. They are immediately looked down upon since they do not attend church and are tempting people during such a sacred time. Vianne keeps her chin up and befriends her landlady, Armande Voizen (Judi Dench), who feels as if she is all alone in the world. Armande's daughter will not speak to her or allow her to see her grandson. Vianne tries her best to keep her business afloat. She gives out free sampies and soon the customers return for more. In the meantime some river rats arrive and the mayor tries to run them out of town. Vianne hires Roux to do some handy work around the shop. This doesn't sit well with the Mayor and he comes up with a plan to get rid of Vianne. Comte de Reynaud gets sick of everyone spoiling themselves with chocolate so he writes a sermon telling the village people that Vianne is Satan and that her sweet treat is like the forbidden fruit. Will the community listen and not return to Vianne's shop or will the people continue to indulge in the chocolate? I strongly suggest seeing this film. Itis absolutely fantastic. The performances are superb and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the film is recognized and takes at least one Oscar home. Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, stars in award-nominated You Can Count on Me Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, got his first Significant movie recognition in this winter's You Can Count on Me. Viewers might recognize Ruffalo from UPN's "The Beat." He has currently been preoccupied with his recent fame from his portrayal of Terry, a easy come-easy go charmer who visits his older sister to reflect upon his current dead-end life. His sister, Sammy, played by Laura Linney, IS a divorced mother with a son of 8 who is involved with a man who doesn't excite her, Bob, and a new boss she can't stand to work with on any level. Linney; was honored for her portrayal of Sammy this year, as she was norrunated for Best Actress by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The story opens up with the audience being introduced to Sammy and Terry's parents, as they are heading home in the middle of a rainstorm. Then the audience is immediately introduced to Sammy and Terry, as we see them at their parents' funeral from the crash they encountered with a semi that night. The beginning is a little flat to start with, but then the movie fast forwards to the children when they are older and on their own. Terry has been leading a reckless life and decides to rekindle his relationship with his sister, Sammy, and her son, lems with her new boss, played by Matthew Broderick, though. Broderick is in constant disturbance over he authority that Sammy has over him with the workers on her side. It seems as ifthese tow can't agree upon anything, but out of their pent up range must have ignited a spark between them. Soon Sammy is having an affair with her boss, and both her and Terry are back to reliving their old lives when they were wild teens. The rekindling of these siblings brings back their rowdy behavior, but also awakens them to their respective dependence on each other. They fill the void in each other's lives where there is no happiness. In the end, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, In a scene from You each comes to this concluCan Count on Me.

Choco/at is nominated for Best Picture and tells the story of a young woman whose enchanted sweets awaken passion In a staid French village. Rush is a triumph and another Oscar nominee Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Quills is the latest feature starring Geoffrey Rush, in which he pulled off another stellar performance to his prior award-winning act in Shine. As you may recall, Rush was awarded best actor back in 1998 when the controversial subtraction of Leonardo DiCaprio was left off the voting roster. This year he is nominated again -for his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade, the late 18th century, French, pornographic author. The movie features other phenomenal displays of acting by Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbey Cloutier, Kate WirISlet as the laundry wench, Madeline, and Michael Caine as the officer of corrections, Corrder. Caine, who was last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, Wmslet, who was nominated for her 1998 performance ill Titanic, and Phoenix, who IS up for Best Supporting Actor this year for Gladiator, assure the movie of an excellence in quality of acting. The story takes place in late 18th century France under the rule of dictator, Napolean Bonaparte. When his advisors inform him of the peddling of pornograp~y that is goin~ on his country s streets, he is infuriated and determined to silence the author of these crude works, the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis, on the other hand, has been confined to an asylum already for a few years before N apolean discovered his ways of corruption. He has secretly distributed his work through the chambermaid, Madefine; played by WInslet, by hiding his documents with his pick up of his daily linens. Now, the Abbey Cloutier of the asylum, portrayed by Phoenix, has hospitably catered to the Marquis for the entirety of his stay. He has always been aware of the Marquis' past hobby of writing his filth, but he has been ignorant of the Marquis' latest covert productions of his pornography. When Napoleon sends the renowned Corrder, a supreme corrections officer, played by Caine, to intercept the coalillOn of the Marquis and Madeline, Cloutier is distraught over "!" friends' betrayal. The MarqUIS went behind Cloutier's back SO he could distribute his work. This leaves the abbey with the regretful job of stril'ping. the Marquis of all of his writing utensils.

Rodriguez was hired as a visiting assistant professor and was offered a tenure-track position, which he declined. Rodriguez chose Princeton because, . "it was a great opporturuty to work with some of the leading academics in [his] field and teach in the broad area of southwestern United States history." In addition to teaching classes, he plans to do research in the area of social movements and civil rights in both the southwest and among Mexican Americans on the Midwestern frontier. Jerry Greenfield, chair of the History department, said "I was happy for him - Princeton is one of the finest universities in the nation, so it was a great opportunity for Professor Rodriguez." Parkside interviewed Rodriguez in September 2000, and he joined the University in January 2001. He was hired to focus on the United States civil rights history and on the Mexican American history component in particular. The history department is currently looking for a replacement to fill the position left vacant by Rodriguez. "We returned to the search after Professor Rodriguez let us know that he had the Princeton offer. The search committee already has had candidates [and] ... We hope to have a positive response within a few weeks"said Greenfield. Rodriguez is a Mexican American who was born in Wisconsin, and settled in southeastern Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in History. He received both his Master and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.

Well, not fat, not really. That is to say, I'm not obese. "You're not fat!" he asserts, with a tone warning that he does not want to hear me run down the usual list of fatty assets. His anger is the typical response to my whining; it is typical of all men who hear a woman make this famous assertion. The answer is formulaic and expected. So, why do women say it if we know they are going to answer with the prescribed reply? Iam not attempting to make myself the center of attention, and Iam definitely not fishing for compliments. I am well aware that anyone skilled in basic manners is not going to tell me I'm fat to my face, even if they think I really am. It is not to fulfill my ego. I do not want you to tell me that I am skinny, nor do.I want you to tell me that I am perfect, because I'm not. Ibelieve that many men think a compliment is the motive behind our claim, that our egos are so pitiful they need to be stroked at least once an hour. I can not defend all women, but I can assure you that my ego is not as needy and pathetic as to actually announce to any person that I am grossly fat, in hopes of a reflexive compliment in return. Perhaps, as you read this, you are rolling your eyes, wondering at the audacity of someone who would complain about something so seerrungly trivial in comparison to a larger social issue such as world hunger. Let me assure you that this is not trivial to me or to most other typical women. I am constantly submerged in thin ima~es, slogans are sublimated With attacks on my selfesteem, and the forced competition to look better than the next woman is fierce. A large part of my life has been consumed with this incessant worry; in fact, a large portion of my day is devoted to mentally berating myself for my numerous bodily flaws. The path to finding the truth about why Ibelieve Iam fat is a difficult and treacherous one. It is wrought by media representations, distorted by self-perception, and clouded with painful memories. It seems an insurmountable task to explicate the pain that is invisible to society, the double-standard that is acceptable in everyday media, and the shame that is a constant source of confusion to me. You may not understand the pressure that a woman feels continuously harassing her throughout a typical day. As a woman, I am taught to be uneasy about my appearance. On any given_ morning, I wake up to hear an announcer on the radio touting the newest product on the diet market a miracle weight· loss pill. He explains the logic for using the miracle diet (thinner thighs, a flat, firm, stomach, a shapelier butt) and finishes with an acute observation - "If your diet hasn't worked for you yet, what makes you think it ever will?" The television is on as my usual morning routine is rehearsed. Cover Girl reminds me, the target audience, to use their concealer if Iwant to be an "ea.sy,,, h,reezy, beautiful cover girl, L oreal encourages me to beautify "Because I'm worth .it," and Maybelline whispers if Iwasn't born with it, at least they can help . ("Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline"). My breakfast is a healthy and nutritional shake, courtesy of Slim-Fast. While I thumb through a woman's magazine, an article leaps out of the page encouraging me to accept my body the way it is. Opposite the article is an ad picturing an impossibly skinny woman and a gorgeous man staring lovingly down at her. All this is bother me. Why indeed? Inthe grand scheme of the universe, my body weight is not important. It will not land me a good job, provide me with lots of money, or secure my personal _happiness - or will it? In my experience, beauty and figure are many times the inducement for all these things. Are women valuable to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because they have a charming personality and a sharp sense of wit? Does the "fat girl" you personally know have dates every weekend and men who value her intellect over her appearance? How many times have you overheard a male telling his friends he would never go out with a certain girl because IIshe exceeds his maximum weight limit?"

Ihave been terrified into a rigAt -this point, you may be orous workout schedule, have wondering why Ilet all this learned to hate every sweetslurped down with my morning cup of coffee. Shopping in a department store is possibly the most grueling attack on my sense of well being. I am always ashamed to find that Iwear the largest size in the junior's department, and, that a size 13714 borders on being fullfigured. Calvin Klein does not make sizes beyond mine, a message that is not missed or misunderstood. Clearly, I am March 8, 2001 tasting morsel Ieat, and have adapted to fear the opinion of others. This is not a selfinduced fear. Ido not imagine these things; they are very real pervasive, and harmful. 1 feel as if Ihave no choice but to be obsessed with my body weight. If Iam not careful, all the terrible things that "fat girls" go through will Soon become my fate. I may seem vain in the sense that Iseem preoccupied with my physical appearance. Vanity, however, suggests a certain satisfaction with one's appearance, the belief that perfection has been achieved. r could not be any farther away from this in my mind. It is the rare occasion when Ihave looked in the mirror and have not had a ready insult na~ging at the edge of my conscience. If my claim is not for vanity, for a compliment, or for an expected answer, then it is for two entirely different purposes. On the most basic level, itis a weak plea for understanding, for empathy in its simplest form. Iwant someone to relate to my self-loathing, a person who knows what it is like to be unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. If you simply answer with "You're not fat," then Iknow you don't understand. Ask me to explain myself, let me sniffle on your shoulder as I explain my deficiencies, or tell me that you understand what it is like not to live up to a certain image. Explain to me that you know why I think I'm fat but that you don't agree. Secondly, I am pleading with you to stop buying into the mediated images of feminine perfection. I need you to realize that although the skinniest model may be attractive, so is the healthiest of "real" women. Allow yourself to appreciate the feminine body in it.s various forms, not just the Image that is repeated in every commercial, ad, and music video. Tell the woman in your life that you think she is beautiful to you, not because she has the thinnest, longest legs, not because her butt can fit in the palm of your hand, and not because her six-pack rivals that of your own. Tell her that she is perfect because she was made just they way you warited.

The second purpose was to give undergraduates students the opportunity to work on projects with the ITPC business partners. This lab was a joint project between the University and Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Wax and Harley Davidson. The idea originated from Cory Mason, an alumni of Parkside, who is director of Information Services at Harley Division. Dirk Baldwin, Associate Professor of Information Systems, says, "I think the ITPC Jab is an important symbol of a strong partnership between Harley Division, Johnson Wax, Snap-on, and UW-Parkside. The relationship allows students to work with professors and IS professionals to develop problem solving, leadership, teamwork and design skills." He also went on to say, "The relationship also allows the students to use some of the latest equipment used in industry. I think it is an exciting opportunity for UW-Parkside that distinguishes us from many other universities. " When asked about the success of the lab, Professor Baldwin said, "I think this lab is very successful, but we are just starting." He also indicated that the long-term overall success of the lab is based on short-term goals, such as each individual project and semester, and long-term goals. "However, we have project goals each year and sub-goals each semester. At least along some dimensions we canmeasure our success by comparing progress to our project goals. On a longer-term basis, we will measure success through our relationships with the partners, the number of MIS and computer science students using the lab, the number of new MIS and computer science students in the program, and the placement of March 8, 2001 our students in full time jobs." This lab is different from a standard lab due to the fact it is only used, for special projects and contains software that is not available in other labs, such as Visual Studio, Oracle and Business Objects. Secondly, it is set up in more of a conference format so that students can work on projects ill teams. The main emphasis is partnership. For example, students enrolled in the Database Management Systems class can use the lab for extra credit projects. . Currently, mostly MIS students use this lab and an occasional computer science student who is working on a project with Professor Baldwin. One of the plans to improve the lab includes more The Information Technology Practice Center, sponsored by Harley Davidson, Snap.()n com put e r s , Tools, and Johnson Professionals, gives MIS and IS students hands-on experience.

Inside the marooned vehicle were Glorianna Daggy, 79, and Rose Bruno, 88. The students, Joseph Donnerbauer and David Place, both Parkside j0l;igers, waded through the chilly water to pull the women out of the car. "I didn't have a choice" said Place. After three trips to get the women, their walkers, and a blanket from the back of the vehicle, the two students wrapped the ladies in the blanket and offered the shirts off their backs to keep the women's feetwarm. The women had been stranded on the flooded bridge for approximately an hour, and claimed they saw three other cars come down to the bridge and turn back. -"I figured any decent person would have came out and helped:' remarked Donnerbauer. "You'd think a person would have some feelings inside." As Donnerbauer comforted the ailing victims, Place ran to dial 911. Fortunately Joseph KickIer and his family were approximately 100 yards away. Fickler was completely unaware of the ladies' distress call,but when Placepleaded for help, Fickler and his wife, Julie, and his daughter and son, Stephanie and Christopher, Peek under the covers The Ranger News exposed Sarah Olsen Co-Editor~in-Chief All work and no play makes for a boring newspaper.

Newspaper staff creates legacy for journalists Sarah Olsen Co-Editor-in-Chief The staff of The Ranger News returned from the National College Newspaper Convention Sunday, March 25th prepared to toss tradition and custom out the window. Armed with enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge, the staff is working to transform The Ranger into the true voice of the student body by ushering in a new legacy of journahsm at Parkside. The first order of business to be performed upon returning to Parkside was to shock the reporters at the regular Monday meeting. "1 told the reporters that the newspaper sucks, but we now have the ability to change 'that" says Sarah Olsen, co-editor-inchief. "We did not know how to properly run a newspaper· before, but that is not the case anymore." Staff members are busy sharing the knowledge they learned at the conference and training a team to take over the newspaper next year. Attendants of the regular Monday meetings are taking part in seminars designed to help writers become better journalists. The reporters are learning basic journalism skills such as how to write a better headline and how to get a good interview, with more information on the way. In addition to implementing new training techniques, the staff has been restructured and new positions have been created. The staff is recruiting journalists, investigative reporters, cartoonists, political analysts, design and layout managers, and opinion essayists who are willing to be innovative and take risks. The most obvious change to the newspaper is apparent in the new layout designed by Forchette. "In order to be able to compete with other newspapers, the design needed to become more innovative, daring, original, and fun" says Porchette, who attended several seminars where he was Continued on page 5 .~-~- ..........

ByBrenda Dunham One night Christine, Sarah, and I went for dessert at Mel's Diner. Our waiter asked where we were from, and when I responded with "We're from Wisconsin" he laughed and repeated "Wes-KONsin?!" Apparently, we all have accents - ken ya imagen that, eh? Westarted taking notice of our Canadian accents and quickly became the butts of our own jokes. I, however, won the award for "Most Predominant WesKON-sin Accent." Don't ya know that San Francisco doesn't have cows, unless it is a statue in front of Hard Rock Cafe? Just to warn you if you go to San Francisco don't be asking for a Tyme machine. People will think ya're literally nuts. San Franciscans don't have bubblers, they drink from water fountains. They also don't have soda, they drink pop. If'n ya ken remember the lingo you'll be better off than us, and maybe you won't even be laughed at. As ya can imagen its good to be horne were the way I talk doesn't stand out so much. However I'll have to be putting my cote (coat) and boo-uts (boots) back on. The Walking Germ By Dan White b Unfortunately, I ended ul?, emg "the walking germ' because I caught a cold due to the change ill the climate. Although 1was sick for a good portion of the trip I did manage to attend the seminars. I also managed to give a cold to another member of the group and who knows how many other people! I learned many keys to maintaining the funds of the newspaper, successful advertising strategies, and to not blow your nose with hotel Kleenex (it really hurts after too many blows!) Hopefully, the techniques I learned will keep the newspaper healthy - unlike myself! "When in Rome, do as the Romans" By Pete Forchette During the normal school day, it is not uncommon for people to hear me quote a song, poem, or movie. But while in San Francisco, I found myself saying a quote in particular more than any other - "While in Rome, do as the Romans." Now, don't get carried away, as I certainly didn't, I assure you. But one can't help but notice how different things are away from Keno-where (Kenosha). One of the very first things that struck me as odd was the ride from the airport in San Francisco to our hotel downtown. We were graciously escorted by our taxi cab driver, first tluough a red and blue gang war zone, and then past a popular transsexual prostitution comer. Now, you Just can't find those kind of things in your backyard around here .: The next morning I awoke to the hustle and bustle of the city life below me. Hills made of buildings and houses dictated the movements of all the sports cars, buses, and trolleys that crawled along its alleys. The wildlife we encountered along the- way later that week also made me stop and think. The waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe got us all "rowdy," a metallic robot man was passing out candy to strangers for spare change. And who could forget about Aunt Charlie, the eccentric, cross-dressing drag queen? -- So, as you can see I had plenty of reasons for blurting out my quote of quotes during my adventure ill Rome, I mean San Francisco. And in case you were wondering, no, I didn't leave my heart there. The Bitch By Sarah Olsen Sometimes in life we are forced to assume a role that is not our usual disposition. While in San Francisco, I became "The Bitch" of the group - not to my group, just to those who got in my way. The first time my temper was tested was when we arrived in St. Louis for a layover. After a quick bite to eat, we headed to the ticket counter ready to embark on our connecting flight to the golden city. Imagine our surprise when the snippy flight attendant announced, "Your plane already left." Immediately my hand flew to my hip and my inner bitch was unleashed. "What do you mean our plane left? We still have at least one minute before the .plane is supposed to depart!" Needless to say, we are not seasoned travelers and this experience has laught us a valuable lesson regarding time management. After an extended layover, and an impossibly long flight, we finally arrived at the hotel, 6 a.m, Wisconsin time, 4 a.m. San Francisco time. We trudged to the counter, ready to welcome some Holiday Inn hospitality. The gentleman at the counter punched our names into the counter and promptly announced, "We do not have your rooms anymore." Now, I am not normally a horrible person, but our little friend at the counter would swear otherwise. "What do you mean we don't have a room?" I asked, as a deadly caIm settled over the lobby. I'm not sure what happened next, but according to first-hand accounts, my eyes glowed red, my head spun in circles on my neck, and the man at the counter suddenly found two available rooms. Tour Guide Barbie By Christine Agaiby "Rise and shine everybody, we have a busy day ahead of us and we can t just waste the day in bed now, can we?" You may think it's easy_ always being the peppy, energetic one, but maybe you should try waking up four crab-asses used to sleeping in until afternoon class. On the agenda for the first day, we started with breakfast at Ghiradelli Square where I forced scalding posh coffee down their tluoats. I wanted lively group members at the meetings, not sleep)' ones. After the morning conferences we had lunch in Chinatown where I forced them to eat crab rangoons. No one was going to be Jicky about trying new foo on this trip; I didn't care if ther were allergic to shellfish. then quickly ushered them into the trolley headed towards Fisherman's Wharf where we utilized brief photo opportunities. I had something truly special planned for the evening. We sang and danced, mingling with the best of the locals at Aunt Charlie's, a drag queen hot spot. All this and more, packed into one exhausting day. Besides planning every detail of the trip, I was also responsible for translating for the WesKon-sinite, soothing the germ, taming the Roman, and calming the bitch._ As you can see, we truly did succeed in doing it all on this trip and still made it to all our meetings without a problem. I hope you've all enjoyed reading about our wonderful experience and have found the trip 'to be as fascinating as we did. It was great having you along as you ventured through our grand voyage to San Francisco. B'bye now. B'bye, B'bye. B'bye, now. B'bye. Are they lone yet. ..are thJ::Jlkne? Goo ,my cheeks are . . g me.

March 8, 2001 Go ahead and spoil yourself with Chaco/at Lynn Garcia Staff Reporter C hoco/at, nominated for Best Picture, takes place in a small French village. Almost everyone in the community is religious and does not allow themselves to enjoy the pleasures of life. The mayor, Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), literally runs the village. The young priest has to have his sermon looked at and approved before he preaches it to the village people. It's almost as if the mayor is God. Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter, Anouk arrive in the village and open a chocolate shop just in time for Lent. They are immediately looked down upon since they do not attend church and are tempting people during such a sacred time. Vianne keeps her chin up and befriends her landlady, Armande Voizen (Judi Dench), who feels as if she is all alone in the world. Armande's daughter will not speak to her or allow her to see her grandson. Vianne tries her best to keep her business afloat. She gives out free sampies and soon the customers return for more. In the meantime some river rats arrive and the mayor tries to run them out of town. Vianne hires Roux to do some handy work around the shop. This doesn't sit well with the Mayor and he comes up with a plan to get rid of Vianne. Comte de Reynaud gets sick of everyone spoiling themselves with chocolate so he writes a sermon telling the village people that Vianne is Satan and that her sweet treat is like the forbidden fruit. Will the community listen and not return to Vianne's shop or will the people continue to indulge in the chocolate? I strongly suggest seeing this film. Itis absolutely fantastic. The performances are superb and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the film is recognized and takes at least one Oscar home. Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, stars in award-nominated You Can Count on Me Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, got his first Significant movie recognition in this winter's You Can Count on Me. Viewers might recognize Ruffalo from UPN's "The Beat." He has currently been preoccupied with his recent fame from his portrayal of Terry, a easy come-easy go charmer who visits his older sister to reflect upon his current dead-end life. His sister, Sammy, played by Laura Linney, IS a divorced mother with a son of 8 who is involved with a man who doesn't excite her, Bob, and a new boss she can't stand to work with on any level. Linney; was honored for her portrayal of Sammy this year, as she was norrunated for Best Actress by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The story opens up with the audience being introduced to Sammy and Terry's parents, as they are heading home in the middle of a rainstorm. Then the audience is immediately introduced to Sammy and Terry, as we see them at their parents' funeral from the crash they encountered with a semi that night. The beginning is a little flat to start with, but then the movie fast forwards to the children when they are older and on their own. Terry has been leading a reckless life and decides to rekindle his relationship with his sister, Sammy, and her son, lems with her new boss, played by Matthew Broderick, though. Broderick is in constant disturbance over he authority that Sammy has over him with the workers on her side. It seems as ifthese tow can't agree upon anything, but out of their pent up range must have ignited a spark between them. Soon Sammy is having an affair with her boss, and both her and Terry are back to reliving their old lives when they were wild teens. The rekindling of these siblings brings back their rowdy behavior, but also awakens them to their respective dependence on each other. They fill the void in each other's lives where there is no happiness. In the end, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, In a scene from You each comes to this concluCan Count on Me.

Choco/at is nominated for Best Picture and tells the story of a young woman whose enchanted sweets awaken passion In a staid French village. Rush is a triumph and another Oscar nominee Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Quills is the latest feature starring Geoffrey Rush, in which he pulled off another stellar performance to his prior award-winning act in Shine. As you may recall, Rush was awarded best actor back in 1998 when the controversial subtraction of Leonardo DiCaprio was left off the voting roster. This year he is nominated again -for his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade, the late 18th century, French, pornographic author. The movie features other phenomenal displays of acting by Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbey Cloutier, Kate WirISlet as the laundry wench, Madeline, and Michael Caine as the officer of corrections, Corrder. Caine, who was last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, Wmslet, who was nominated for her 1998 performance ill Titanic, and Phoenix, who IS up for Best Supporting Actor this year for Gladiator, assure the movie of an excellence in quality of acting. The story takes place in late 18th century France under the rule of dictator, Napolean Bonaparte. When his advisors inform him of the peddling of pornograp~y that is goin~ on his country s streets, he is infuriated and determined to silence the author of these crude works, the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis, on the other hand, has been confined to an asylum already for a few years before N apolean discovered his ways of corruption. He has secretly distributed his work through the chambermaid, Madefine; played by WInslet, by hiding his documents with his pick up of his daily linens. Now, the Abbey Cloutier of the asylum, portrayed by Phoenix, has hospitably catered to the Marquis for the entirety of his stay. He has always been aware of the Marquis' past hobby of writing his filth, but he has been ignorant of the Marquis' latest covert productions of his pornography.

Rodriguez was hired as a visiting assistant professor and was offered a tenure-track position, which he declined. Rodriguez chose Princeton because, . "it was a great opporturuty to work with some of the leading academics in [his] field and teach in the broad area of southwestern United States history." In addition to teaching classes, he plans to do research in the area of social movements and civil rights in both the southwest and among Mexican Americans on the Midwestern frontier. Jerry Greenfield, chair of the History department, said "I was happy for him - Princeton is one of the finest universities in the nation, so it was a great opportunity for Professor Rodriguez." Parkside interviewed Rodriguez in September 2000, and he joined the University in January 2001. He was hired to focus on the United States civil rights history and on the Mexican American history component in particular. The history department is currently looking for a replacement to fill the position left vacant by Rodriguez. "We returned to the search after Professor Rodriguez let us know that he had the Princeton offer. The search committee already has had candidates [and] ... We hope to have a positive response within a few weeks"said Greenfield. Rodriguez is a Mexican American who was born in Wisconsin, and settled in southeastern Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in History. He received both his Master and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.

Well, not fat, not really. That is to say, I'm not obese. "You're not fat!" he asserts, with a tone warning that he does not want to hear me run down the usual list of fatty assets. His anger is the typical response to my whining; it is typical of all men who hear a woman make this famous assertion. The answer is formulaic and expected. So, why do women say it if we know they are going to answer with the prescribed reply? Iam not attempting to make myself the center of attention, and Iam definitely not fishing for compliments. I am well aware that anyone skilled in basic manners is not going to tell me I'm fat to my face, even if they think I really am. It is not to fulfill my ego. I do not want you to tell me that I am skinny, nor do.I want you to tell me that I am perfect, because I'm not. Ibelieve that many men think a compliment is the motive behind our claim, that our egos are so pitiful they need to be stroked at least once an hour. I can not defend all women, but I can assure you that my ego is not as needy and pathetic as to actually announce to any person that I am grossly fat, in hopes of a reflexive compliment in return. Perhaps, as you read this, you are rolling your eyes, wondering at the audacity of someone who would complain about something so seerrungly trivial in comparison to a larger social issue such as world hunger. Let me assure you that this is not trivial to me or to most other typical women. I am constantly submerged in thin ima~es, slogans are sublimated With attacks on my selfesteem, and the forced competition to look better than the next woman is fierce. A large part of my life has been consumed with this incessant worry; in fact, a large portion of my day is devoted to mentally berating myself for my numerous bodily flaws. The path to finding the truth about why Ibelieve Iam fat is a difficult and treacherous one. It is wrought by media representations, distorted by self-perception, and clouded with painful memories. It seems an insurmountable task to explicate the pain that is invisible to society, the double-standard that is acceptable in everyday media, and the shame that is a constant source of confusion to me. You may not understand the pressure that a woman feels continuously harassing her throughout a typical day. As a woman, I am taught to be uneasy about my appearance. On any given_ morning, I wake up to hear an announcer on the radio touting the newest product on the diet market a miracle weight· loss pill. He explains the logic for using the miracle diet (thinner thighs, a flat, firm, stomach, a shapelier butt) and finishes with an acute observation - "If your diet hasn't worked for you yet, what makes you think it ever will?" The television is on as my usual morning routine is rehearsed. Cover Girl reminds me, the target audience, to use their concealer if Iwant to be an "ea.sy,,, h,reezy, beautiful cover girl, L oreal encourages me to beautify "Because I'm worth .it," and Maybelline whispers if Iwasn't born with it, at least they can help . ("Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline"). My breakfast is a healthy and nutritional shake, courtesy of Slim-Fast. While I thumb through a woman's magazine, an article leaps out of the page encouraging me to accept my body the way it is. Opposite the article is an ad picturing an impossibly skinny woman and a gorgeous man staring lovingly down at her. All this is bother me. Why indeed? Inthe grand scheme of the universe, my body weight is not important. It will not land me a good job, provide me with lots of money, or secure my personal _happiness - or will it? In my experience, beauty and figure are many times the inducement for all these things. Are women valuable to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because they have a charming personality and a sharp sense of wit? Does the "fat girl" you personally know have dates every weekend and men who value her intellect over her appearance? How many times have you overheard a male telling his friends he would never go out with a certain girl because IIshe exceeds his maximum weight limit?" For women, the relationship between money ana appearance is undeniable. On weekends, I work as a cocktail waitress at a trendy nightclub.

If Iam not careful, all the terrible things that "fat girls" go through will Soon become my fate. I may seem vain in the sense that Iseem preoccupied with my physical appearance. Vanity, however, suggests a certain satisfaction with one's appearance, the belief that perfection has been achieved. r could not be any farther away from this in my mind. It is the rare occasion when Ihave looked in the mirror and have not had a ready insult na~ging at the edge of my conscience. If my claim is not for vanity, for a compliment, or for an expected answer, then it is for two entirely different purposes. On the most basic level, itis a weak plea for understanding, for empathy in its simplest form. Iwant someone to relate to my self-loathing, a person who knows what it is like to be unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. If you simply answer with "You're not fat," then Iknow you don't understand. Ask me to explain myself, let me sniffle on your shoulder as I explain my deficiencies, or tell me that you understand what it is like not to live up to a certain image. Explain to me that you know why I think I'm fat but that you don't agree. Secondly, I am pleading with you to stop buying into the mediated images of feminine perfection. I need you to realize that although the skinniest model may be attractive, so is the healthiest of "real" women. Allow yourself to appreciate the feminine body in it.s various forms, not just the Image that is repeated in every commercial, ad, and music video. Tell the woman in your life that you think she is beautiful to you, not because she has the thinnest, longest legs, not because her butt can fit in the palm of your hand, and not because her six-pack rivals that of your own. Tell her that she is perfect because she was made just they way you warited.

The second purpose was to give undergraduates students the opportunity to work on projects with the ITPC business partners. This lab was a joint project between the University and Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Wax and Harley Davidson. The idea originated from Cory Mason, an alumni of Parkside, who is director of Information Services at Harley Division. Dirk Baldwin, Associate Professor of Information Systems, says, "I think the ITPC Jab is an important symbol of a strong partnership between Harley Division, Johnson Wax, Snap-on, and UW-Parkside. The relationship allows students to work with professors and IS professionals to develop problem solving, leadership, teamwork and design skills." He also went on to say, "The relationship also allows the students to use some of the latest equipment used in industry. I think it is an exciting opportunity for UW-Parkside that distinguishes us from many other universities. " When asked about the success of the lab, Professor Baldwin said, "I think this lab is very successful, but we are just starting." He also indicated that the long-term overall success of the lab is based on short-term goals, such as each individual project and semester, and long-term goals. "However, we have project goals each year and sub-goals each semester. At least along some dimensions we canmeasure our success by comparing progress to our project goals. On a longer-term basis, we will measure success through our relationships with the partners, the number of MIS and computer science students using the lab, the number of new MIS and computer science students in the program, and the placement of March 8, 2001 our students in full time jobs." This lab is different from a standard lab due to the fact it is only used, for special projects and contains software that is not available in other labs, such as Visual Studio, Oracle and Business Objects. Secondly, it is set up in more of a conference format so that students can work on projects ill teams. The main emphasis is partnership. For example, students enrolled in the Database Management Systems class can use the lab for extra credit projects. . Currently, mostly MIS students use this lab and an occasional computer science student who is working on a project with Professor Baldwin. One of the plans to improve the lab includes more The Information Technology Practice Center, sponsored by Harley Davidson, Snap.()n com put e r s , Tools, and Johnson Professionals, gives MIS and IS students hands-on experience.

Inside the marooned vehicle were Glorianna Daggy, 79, and Rose Bruno, 88. The students, Joseph Donnerbauer and David Place, both Parkside j0l;igers, waded through the chilly water to pull the women out of the car. "I didn't have a choice" said Place. After three trips to get the women, their walkers, and a blanket from the back of the vehicle, the two students wrapped the ladies in the blanket and offered the shirts off their backs to keep the women's feetwarm. The women had been stranded on the flooded bridge for approximately an hour, and claimed they saw three other cars come down to the bridge and turn back. -"I figured any decent person would have came out and helped:' remarked Donnerbauer. "You'd think a person would have some feelings inside." As Donnerbauer comforted the ailing victims, Place ran to dial 911. Fortunately Joseph KickIer and his family were approximately 100 yards away. Fickler was completely unaware of the ladies' distress call,but when Placepleaded for help, Fickler and his wife, Julie, and his daughter and son, Stephanie and Christopher, Peek under the covers The Ranger News exposed Sarah Olsen Co-Editor~in-Chief All work and no play makes for a boring newspaper. As you can see from the r.hoto, the staff found time to 'play" after conferences and seminars while in San FranCISco. "I think my favorite part of the trip was getting to ~ee our staff in an 'out of office SItuation" says Design Manager Pete Forchette. "And who could forget Aunt Charlie's, the drag queen show?" That's right, a drag queen show. I had the rare op,Bortunity to compete in the 'Queen for a Night" contest and managed to come in a close second. "I learned- never to' mix drag S1ueenswith Raspberry Stoley said Christine Agaiby, advertising manager. "All you get is a severe hangover and some interesting photos" (look inside for photos from the show). The conference was a unique experience for the staff not only because they were able to learn a great deal of informationabout the newspaper business, but because they had the opportuni ty to learn more about each other.

Pete Forchette, Sarah Olsen, and Christine Agalby. gladly gave up their jackets and outer winter clothing. As Place took the garments back to the women to help keep them warm, Fickler and his familyraced their vehicle over to a nearby gas station to dial 911. After Somers rescue squad members arrived on the scene to escort the two ladies to Aurora Healthcare center, the Pickler family offeredthe two heroes a seatin their car to try to warm them up. The two women are home safe today and say they hold the highest respect for the two student heroes that carne to their aid. "Parkside joggers Joseph Donnerbauer (left) and Davey Place (right) stand on the bridge where the rescue took place. Newspaper staff creates legacy for journalists Sarah Olsen Co-Editor-in-Chief The staff of The Ranger News returned from the National College Newspaper Convention Sunday, March 25th prepared to toss tradition and custom out the window. Armed with enthusiasm and newly acquired knowledge, the staff is working to transform The Ranger into the true voice of the student body by ushering in a new legacy of journahsm at Parkside. The first order of business to be performed upon returning to Parkside was to shock the reporters at the regular Monday meeting. "1 told the reporters that the newspaper sucks, but we now have the ability to change 'that" says Sarah Olsen, co-editor-inchief. "We did not know how to properly run a newspaper· before, but that is not the case anymore." Staff members are busy sharing the knowledge they learned at the conference and training a team to take over the newspaper next year. Attendants of the regular Monday meetings are taking part in seminars designed to help writers become better journalists. The reporters are learning basic journalism skills such as how to write a better headline and how to get a good interview, with more information on the way. In addition to implementing new training techniques, the staff has been restructured and new positions have been created. The staff is recruiting journalists, investigative reporters, cartoonists, political analysts, design and layout managers, and opinion essayists who are willing to be innovative and take risks. The most obvious change to the newspaper is apparent in the new layout designed by Forchette. "In order to be able to compete with other newspapers, the design needed to become more innovative, daring, original, and fun" says Porchette, who attended several seminars where he was Continued on page 5 .~-~- ..........

ByBrenda Dunham One night Christine, Sarah, and I went for dessert at Mel's Diner. Our waiter asked where we were from, and when I responded with "We're from Wisconsin" he laughed and repeated "Wes-KONsin?!" Apparently, we all have accents - ken ya imagen that, eh? Westarted taking notice of our Canadian accents and quickly became the butts of our own jokes. I, however, won the award for "Most Predominant WesKON-sin Accent." Don't ya know that San Francisco doesn't have cows, unless it is a statue in front of Hard Rock Cafe? Just to warn you if you go to San Francisco don't be asking for a Tyme machine. People will think ya're literally nuts. San Franciscans don't have bubblers, they drink from water fountains. They also don't have soda, they drink pop. If'n ya ken remember the lingo you'll be better off than us, and maybe you won't even be laughed at. As ya can imagen its good to be horne were the way I talk doesn't stand out so much. However I'll have to be putting my cote (coat) and boo-uts (boots) back on. The Walking Germ By Dan White b Unfortunately, I ended ul?, emg "the walking germ' because I caught a cold due to the change ill the climate. Although 1was sick for a good portion of the trip I did manage to attend the seminars. I also managed to give a cold to another member of the group and who knows how many other people! I learned many keys to maintaining the funds of the newspaper, successful advertising strategies, and to not blow your nose with hotel Kleenex (it really hurts after too many blows!) Hopefully, the techniques I learned will keep the newspaper healthy - unlike myself! "When in Rome, do as the Romans" By Pete Forchette During the normal school day, it is not uncommon for people to hear me quote a song, poem, or movie. But while in San Francisco, I found myself saying a quote in particular more than any other - "While in Rome, do as the Romans." Now, don't get carried away, as I certainly didn't, I assure you. But one can't help but notice how different things are away from Keno-where (Kenosha). One of the very first things that struck me as odd was the ride from the airport in San Francisco to our hotel downtown. We were graciously escorted by our taxi cab driver, first tluough a red and blue gang war zone, and then past a popular transsexual prostitution comer. Now, you Just can't find those kind of things in your backyard around here .: The next morning I awoke to the hustle and bustle of the city life below me. Hills made of buildings and houses dictated the movements of all the sports cars, buses, and trolleys that crawled along its alleys. The wildlife we encountered along the- way later that week also made me stop and think. The waiter at the Hard Rock Cafe got us all "rowdy," a metallic robot man was passing out candy to strangers for spare change. And who could forget about Aunt Charlie, the eccentric, cross-dressing drag queen? -- So, as you can see I had plenty of reasons for blurting out my quote of quotes during my adventure ill Rome, I mean San Francisco. And in case you were wondering, no, I didn't leave my heart there. The Bitch By Sarah Olsen Sometimes in life we are forced to assume a role that is not our usual disposition. While in San Francisco, I became "The Bitch" of the group - not to my group, just to those who got in my way. The first time my temper was tested was when we arrived in St. Louis for a layover. After a quick bite to eat, we headed to the ticket counter ready to embark on our connecting flight to the golden city. Imagine our surprise when the snippy flight attendant announced, "Your plane already left." Immediately my hand flew to my hip and my inner bitch was unleashed. "What do you mean our plane left? We still have at least one minute before the .plane is supposed to depart!" Needless to say, we are not seasoned travelers and this experience has laught us a valuable lesson regarding time management. After an extended layover, and an impossibly long flight, we finally arrived at the hotel, 6 a.m, Wisconsin time, 4 a.m. San Francisco time. We trudged to the counter, ready to welcome some Holiday Inn hospitality. The gentleman at the counter punched our names into the counter and promptly announced, "We do not have your rooms anymore." Now, I am not normally a horrible person, but our little friend at the counter would swear otherwise. "What do you mean we don't have a room?" I asked, as a deadly caIm settled over the lobby. I'm not sure what happened next, but according to first-hand accounts, my eyes glowed red, my head spun in circles on my neck, and the man at the counter suddenly found two available rooms. Tour Guide Barbie By Christine Agaiby "Rise and shine everybody, we have a busy day ahead of us and we can t just waste the day in bed now, can we?" You may think it's easy_ always being the peppy, energetic one, but maybe you should try waking up four crab-asses used to sleeping in until afternoon class. On the agenda for the first day, we started with breakfast at Ghiradelli Square where I forced scalding posh coffee down their tluoats. I wanted lively group members at the meetings, not sleep)' ones. After the morning conferences we had lunch in Chinatown where I forced them to eat crab rangoons. No one was going to be Jicky about trying new foo on this trip; I didn't care if ther were allergic to shellfish. then quickly ushered them into the trolley headed towards Fisherman's Wharf where we utilized brief photo opportunities. I had something truly special planned for the evening. We sang and danced, mingling with the best of the locals at Aunt Charlie's, a drag queen hot spot. All this and more, packed into one exhausting day. Besides planning every detail of the trip, I was also responsible for translating for the WesKon-sinite, soothing the germ, taming the Roman, and calming the bitch._ As you can see, we truly did succeed in doing it all on this trip and still made it to all our meetings without a problem. I hope you've all enjoyed reading about our wonderful experience and have found the trip 'to be as fascinating as we did. It was great having you along as you ventured through our grand voyage to San Francisco. B'bye now. B'bye, B'bye. B'bye, now. B'bye. Are they lone yet. ..are thJ::Jlkne? Goo ,my cheeks are . . g me. I really can't smile this much anymore. Can I take a break now? Just a little break? Great. WHAT'S ON YOUR RESUME?

March 8, 2001 Go ahead and spoil yourself with Chaco/at Lynn Garcia Staff Reporter C hoco/at, nominated for Best Picture, takes place in a small French village. Almost everyone in the community is religious and does not allow themselves to enjoy the pleasures of life. The mayor, Comte de Reynaud (Alfred Molina), literally runs the village. The young priest has to have his sermon looked at and approved before he preaches it to the village people. It's almost as if the mayor is God. Vianne Rocher (Juliette Binoche) and her daughter, Anouk arrive in the village and open a chocolate shop just in time for Lent. They are immediately looked down upon since they do not attend church and are tempting people during such a sacred time. Vianne keeps her chin up and befriends her landlady, Armande Voizen (Judi Dench), who feels as if she is all alone in the world. Armande's daughter will not speak to her or allow her to see her grandson. Vianne tries her best to keep her business afloat. She gives out free sampies and soon the customers return for more. In the meantime some river rats arrive and the mayor tries to run them out of town. Vianne hires Roux to do some handy work around the shop. This doesn't sit well with the Mayor and he comes up with a plan to get rid of Vianne. Comte de Reynaud gets sick of everyone spoiling themselves with chocolate so he writes a sermon telling the village people that Vianne is Satan and that her sweet treat is like the forbidden fruit. Will the community listen and not return to Vianne's shop or will the people continue to indulge in the chocolate? I strongly suggest seeing this film. Itis absolutely fantastic. The performances are superb and the story is thoroughly enjoyable. I hope that the film is recognized and takes at least one Oscar home. Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, stars in award-nominated You Can Count on Me Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Kenosha native, Mark Ruffalo, got his first Significant movie recognition in this winter's You Can Count on Me. Viewers might recognize Ruffalo from UPN's "The Beat." He has currently been preoccupied with his recent fame from his portrayal of Terry, a easy come-easy go charmer who visits his older sister to reflect upon his current dead-end life. His sister, Sammy, played by Laura Linney, IS a divorced mother with a son of 8 who is involved with a man who doesn't excite her, Bob, and a new boss she can't stand to work with on any level. Linney; was honored for her portrayal of Sammy this year, as she was norrunated for Best Actress by the Academy of Motion Pictures. The story opens up with the audience being introduced to Sammy and Terry's parents, as they are heading home in the middle of a rainstorm. Then the audience is immediately introduced to Sammy and Terry, as we see them at their parents' funeral from the crash they encountered with a semi that night. The beginning is a little flat to start with, but then the movie fast forwards to the children when they are older and on their own. Terry has been leading a reckless life and decides to rekindle his relationship with his sister, Sammy, and her son, lems with her new boss, played by Matthew Broderick, though. Broderick is in constant disturbance over he authority that Sammy has over him with the workers on her side. It seems as ifthese tow can't agree upon anything, but out of their pent up range must have ignited a spark between them. Soon Sammy is having an affair with her boss, and both her and Terry are back to reliving their old lives when they were wild teens. The rekindling of these siblings brings back their rowdy behavior, but also awakens them to their respective dependence on each other. They fill the void in each other's lives where there is no happiness. In the end, Laura Linney and Mark Ruffalo, In a scene from You each comes to this concluCan Count on Me.

Choco/at is nominated for Best Picture and tells the story of a young woman whose enchanted sweets awaken passion In a staid French village. Rush is a triumph and another Oscar nominee Tyrone A. Payton Staff Reporter Quills is the latest feature starring Geoffrey Rush, in which he pulled off another stellar performance to his prior award-winning act in Shine. As you may recall, Rush was awarded best actor back in 1998 when the controversial subtraction of Leonardo DiCaprio was left off the voting roster. This year he is nominated again -for his portrayal of the Marquis de Sade, the late 18th century, French, pornographic author. The movie features other phenomenal displays of acting by Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbey Cloutier, Kate WirISlet as the laundry wench, Madeline, and Michael Caine as the officer of corrections, Corrder. Caine, who was last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor for Cider House Rules, Wmslet, who was nominated for her 1998 performance ill Titanic, and Phoenix, who IS up for Best Supporting Actor this year for Gladiator, assure the movie of an excellence in quality of acting. The story takes place in late 18th century France under the rule of dictator, Napolean Bonaparte. When his advisors inform him of the peddling of pornograp~y that is goin~ on his country s streets, he is infuriated and determined to silence the author of these crude works, the Marquis de Sade. The Marquis, on the other hand, has been confined to an asylum already for a few years before N apolean discovered his ways of corruption. He has secretly distributed his work through the chambermaid, Madefine; played by WInslet, by hiding his documents with his pick up of his daily linens. Now, the Abbey Cloutier of the asylum, portrayed by Phoenix, has hospitably catered to the Marquis for the entirety of his stay. He has always been aware of the Marquis' past hobby of writing his filth, but he has been ignorant of the Marquis' latest covert productions of his pornography. When Napoleon sends the renowned Corrder, a supreme corrections officer, played by Caine, to intercept the coalillOn of the Marquis and Madeline, Cloutier is distraught over "!" friends' betrayal.

Rodriguez was hired as a visiting assistant professor and was offered a tenure-track position, which he declined. Rodriguez chose Princeton because, . "it was a great opporturuty to work with some of the leading academics in [his] field and teach in the broad area of southwestern United States history." In addition to teaching classes, he plans to do research in the area of social movements and civil rights in both the southwest and among Mexican Americans on the Midwestern frontier. Jerry Greenfield, chair of the History department, said "I was happy for him - Princeton is one of the finest universities in the nation, so it was a great opportunity for Professor Rodriguez." Parkside interviewed Rodriguez in September 2000, and he joined the University in January 2001. He was hired to focus on the United States civil rights history and on the Mexican American history component in particular. The history department is currently looking for a replacement to fill the position left vacant by Rodriguez. "We returned to the search after Professor Rodriguez let us know that he had the Princeton offer. The search committee already has had candidates [and] ... We hope to have a positive response within a few weeks"said Greenfield. Rodriguez is a Mexican American who was born in Wisconsin, and settled in southeastern Wisconsin. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in History. He received both his Master and Ph.D. degrees from Northwestern University.

Well, not fat, not really. That is to say, I'm not obese. "You're not fat!" he asserts, with a tone warning that he does not want to hear me run down the usual list of fatty assets. His anger is the typical response to my whining; it is typical of all men who hear a woman make this famous assertion. The answer is formulaic and expected. So, why do women say it if we know they are going to answer with the prescribed reply? Iam not attempting to make myself the center of attention, and Iam definitely not fishing for compliments. I am well aware that anyone skilled in basic manners is not going to tell me I'm fat to my face, even if they think I really am. It is not to fulfill my ego. I do not want you to tell me that I am skinny, nor do.I want you to tell me that I am perfect, because I'm not. Ibelieve that many men think a compliment is the motive behind our claim, that our egos are so pitiful they need to be stroked at least once an hour. I can not defend all women, but I can assure you that my ego is not as needy and pathetic as to actually announce to any person that I am grossly fat, in hopes of a reflexive compliment in return. Perhaps, as you read this, you are rolling your eyes, wondering at the audacity of someone who would complain about something so seerrungly trivial in comparison to a larger social issue such as world hunger. Let me assure you that this is not trivial to me or to most other typical women. I am constantly submerged in thin ima~es, slogans are sublimated With attacks on my selfesteem, and the forced competition to look better than the next woman is fierce. A large part of my life has been consumed with this incessant worry; in fact, a large portion of my day is devoted to mentally berating myself for my numerous bodily flaws. The path to finding the truth about why Ibelieve Iam fat is a difficult and treacherous one. It is wrought by media representations, distorted by self-perception, and clouded with painful memories. It seems an insurmountable task to explicate the pain that is invisible to society, the double-standard that is acceptable in everyday media, and the shame that is a constant source of confusion to me. You may not understand the pressure that a woman feels continuously harassing her throughout a typical day. As a woman, I am taught to be uneasy about my appearance. On any given_ morning, I wake up to hear an announcer on the radio touting the newest product on the diet market a miracle weight· loss pill. He explains the logic for using the miracle diet (thinner thighs, a flat, firm, stomach, a shapelier butt) and finishes with an acute observation - "If your diet hasn't worked for you yet, what makes you think it ever will?" The television is on as my usual morning routine is rehearsed. Cover Girl reminds me, the target audience, to use their concealer if Iwant to be an "ea.sy,,, h,reezy, beautiful cover girl, L oreal encourages me to beautify "Because I'm worth .it," and Maybelline whispers if Iwasn't born with it, at least they can help . ("Maybe she's born with it. Maybe it's Maybelline"). My breakfast is a healthy and nutritional shake, courtesy of Slim-Fast. While I thumb through a woman's magazine, an article leaps out of the page encouraging me to accept my body the way it is. Opposite the article is an ad picturing an impossibly skinny woman and a gorgeous man staring lovingly down at her. All this is bother me. Why indeed? Inthe grand scheme of the universe, my body weight is not important. It will not land me a good job, provide me with lots of money, or secure my personal _happiness - or will it? In my experience, beauty and figure are many times the inducement for all these things. Are women valuable to the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition because they have a charming personality and a sharp sense of wit? Does the "fat girl" you personally know have dates every weekend and men who value her intellect over her appearance? How many times have you overheard a male telling his friends he would never go out with a certain girl because IIshe exceeds his maximum weight limit?" For women, the relationship between money ana appearance is undeniable. On weekends, I work as a cocktail waitress at a trendy nightclub.

If Iam not careful, all the terrible things that "fat girls" go through will Soon become my fate. I may seem vain in the sense that Iseem preoccupied with my physical appearance. Vanity, however, suggests a certain satisfaction with one's appearance, the belief that perfection has been achieved. r could not be any farther away from this in my mind. It is the rare occasion when Ihave looked in the mirror and have not had a ready insult na~ging at the edge of my conscience. If my claim is not for vanity, for a compliment, or for an expected answer, then it is for two entirely different purposes. On the most basic level, itis a weak plea for understanding, for empathy in its simplest form. Iwant someone to relate to my self-loathing, a person who knows what it is like to be unhappy with the reflection in the mirror. If you simply answer with "You're not fat," then Iknow you don't understand. Ask me to explain myself, let me sniffle on your shoulder as I explain my deficiencies, or tell me that you understand what it is like not to live up to a certain image. Explain to me that you know why I think I'm fat but that you don't agree. Secondly, I am pleading with you to stop buying into the mediated images of feminine perfection. I need you to realize that although the skinniest model may be attractive, so is the healthiest of "real" women. Allow yourself to appreciate the feminine body in it.s various forms, not just the Image that is repeated in every commercial, ad, and music video. Tell the woman in your life that you think she is beautiful to you, not because she has the thinnest, longest legs, not because her butt can fit in the palm of your hand, and not because her six-pack rivals that of your own. Tell her that she is perfect because she was made just they way you warited.

The second purpose was to give undergraduates students the opportunity to work on projects with the ITPC business partners. This lab was a joint project between the University and Snap-On Tools, SC Johnson Wax and Harley Davidson. The idea originated from Cory Mason, an alumni of Parkside, who is director of Information Services at Harley Division. Dirk Baldwin, Associate Professor of Information Systems, says, "I think the ITPC Jab is an important symbol of a strong partnership between Harley Division, Johnson Wax, Snap-on, and UW-Parkside. The relationship allows students to work with professors and IS professionals to develop problem solving, leadership, teamwork and design skills." He also went on to say, "The relationship also allows the students to use some of the latest equipment used in industry. I think it is an exciting opportunity for UW-Parkside that distinguishes us from many other universities. " When asked about the success of the lab, Professor Baldwin said, "I think this lab is very successful, but we are just starting." He also indicated that the long-term overall success of the lab is based on short-term goals, such as each individual project and semester, and long-term goals. "However, we have project goals each year and sub-goals each semester. At least along some dimensions we canmeasure our success by comparing progress to our project goals. On a longer-term basis, we will measure success through our relationships with the partners, the number of MIS and computer science students using the lab, the number of new MIS and computer science students in the program, and the placement of March 8, 2001 our students in full time jobs." This lab is different from a standard lab due to the fact it is only used, for special projects and contains software that is not available in other labs, such as Visual Studio, Oracle and Business Objects. Secondly, it is set up in more of a conference format so that students can work on projects ill teams. The main emphasis is partnership. For example, students enrolled in the Database Management Systems class can use the lab for extra credit projects. . Currently, mostly MIS students use this lab and an occasional computer science student who is working on a project with Professor Baldwin. One of the plans to improve the lab includes more The Information Technology Practice Center, sponsored by Harley Davidson, Snap.()n com put e r s , Tools, and Johnson Professionals, gives MIS and IS students hands-on experience.

Easterling was charged last Friday witfi beating a custodian and robbery. According to the Kenosha News Easterling, 22, was arrested for allegedly stealing pizzas from a gas station in Ifie early morning hours of April 4. While Easterlin15 was m jail police found evidence linkin!,l him to the attack of the custodian. Easterling is accused of wearing a mask like the one in the movie "Scream'" du.ring the attack on the custodian and allegedly trying to break into an Automated Teller Machine in the Student Union. If convicted Easterling could face up to 77 years in prison and $60,000 in fines. Dean of Students Steve McLaughlin said that there is going to be a student discipli- nary hearing al the University when the police reports are fin- ished. Easterling could face sus- pension or expulsion. A suspen- sion would mean that he would not be admitted into the Univ_ersity for 2 years. An expul- s10n would be for an indefirute amount of lime. The student would have to appeal in order to return to the University. According to the Kenosha News, campus police found the ATM broken into on the morn- ing of April 2. The custodian was found shortly alter in a restroom with his feet bound and arms tied behind his back with black plastic straps. The custodian told police that he was cleaning when two people wearing "Scream• maslcs entered and put a gun to his head. The two men ordered him to get on the floor and told him that if he wasn't quiet, they would kill him. An officer received an anonymous tip that Easterling might have been involved. A roommate showed the police a bag that Easterling had given him. The officers found a "Screrun" mask and black plastic tics. The custodian, who has asked to remain anonymous, was taken to a nearby hospital, where he received stitches in his ear and was released.

I feel ihat there should be more opportunities for discussion am~ classmates about these issues said Liz Jordan, a UW-P sophomore. ____ Ju_lie Thompson __ During the Ja,,i weekend in March, several UW-P students and faculty members converged al Riverbend Nature Center to discuss issues related to race, and lo hopefully learn more about their fellow UW-P students. The second annual Talking OJ/or Retreat was orgaru7.ed by Eng- lish Department Senior Lecturer, Chris Christie and UW-P seruor and PSGA Ptesident, Joseph Rucker with help from Christie's Ethnic Studies 290/490 students. Although some retreat attendees arrived with feelings of anxiety about being filmed while others arrived with questions about race., Chris Christie's biggest concern was that the group would be too timid to dlscuss such powerful issues. But when all was said and done, the overall reaction to the weekend's events was positive. 'The retreat was a welcome forum to interact with people of other ethnic h,,ckgrounds said UW-P senior, Ray Sanchez. "I learned a lot. We each had a totally different outlook.

Its members have been planning the whole year to get the chance to sponsor their club and their Asian ethnicity this April, which is Asian Awareness month here at Parkside. Most of the planned events are still left for the end of this month, but students may have already caught a glimpse of Asian culture when a vendor shop was set up in Upper Main Place from Tuesday, April 3 to Thursday, April 5. The vendor shop was decorated with numerous items including cell phone cases, eyeglass pouches, pillow cases, bool< bags, colorful stuffed snake, turtle, and lizanl ornaments, and numerous other sacks, satchels, packs, and pUr'..CS. For those three days, PAO representatives manned the vendor booth, as they sold over $500 in native goods that were manufactured m Thailand by Laotian workers, acco~ to PAO president Ymg Vang. t;'.ach of these products were 1,cautifully adorned as many of the pouches and bags were garnished with "pansdaos, an Asian form of embroidery," said Pakou Vang, one of Parkside's new student senators in the Parkside Student Government Association. On Wednesday, the booth operators gave a surprise as many dressed up in Hmong clothes. Pakou said these clothes "basically consist of a shirt, a _blouse, some jewelry, and_ c~m bags of Laotian design. The vendor shop is just the beginning of more upconung events. On Thursday, April 19th, an Asian comedy troop called Stir Talking Color continued munching on homemade brownies and cookies. Bickham came equipped with plastic cups and multi-colored oeads. Each f>articipant was asked to place the appropriate colored bead into a plastic cup depending on the partic• 1pant's answer. For example, if the participant's physician is white, he or she placed a white bead in their cup. If the partici· pant's physician is Asian, he or she placed a tan bead in their cup. At the end of the exercise, all participants examined their beads to determine if the participant Includes pwple of d iver.;¢ l>~unds into their lives. The Theatre of Empower• ment, led by Communication Department Professor, Jonathan Shailor, ended the evening with students re-enacting events from their past that involved racial discrimination. It was a painful, eye-opening experi• encc for most. -When we were forced to act out, or see someone else act out the 1'31'1 of a bigot, although it was hard to do and see, it was necessary so we could see issues from the black view• point" Struebing stated. Rucker added, "Jonathan Shailor was very inspiring, and (he) create<! an unusually relaxed atm06phere given the fact that we were dealing with Friday Night will be doing a one hour performance in the Union Cinema starting at 1:00 p.m. courtesy of Claudia Mosley of the Office of MultiCultural Affairs. Their main purpose of their comedy is to use humor to address Asian stereotypes," said M06ley. some senously strong topic,,," Sanchez's favorite activity •·was when we were all instruct~ ed to strike a pose that defined how we felt about something. The rest of us would try to determine what the subject was trying to convey, which helped give us an insight we dian't fiave, but it also gave us, as su~ jects, an insight into how others perceived us." Unfortunately, although Rucker and Christie made numerous attempts to attract students, the number of partici• pants was low. "I was let down and so was Chris Christie. This type of retreat is critical. It opens up a whole new avenue ol Jeamm17, and is a powedul ex~riencc,' stated Rucker. Also, Friday, April 20th, the PAO will be sponsoring a dance in the Union Square from 9:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. On Monday, April 23rd, there will al.so be a social located in the Den from 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., but the month isn't done yet An Asian ethnic dancer, SeulGhcz'.:s reaction to the low turnout was similar, '1he group was small, and some of us were less represented than others as far as numbers went, but the messages were clear, and we proved that the silence could be broken.

LISTEN UPI April 12, 2001 Opinion Page Liquid Crack: The Running of the Bull Tyrone A Payton Opinion Page Co-Editor 36 hours of overstressed nerves nearly shattered me past my reality 6reaking point two weeks ago ti •II ~n during my usual Friday night late shift at good ol' Brcwmasters Pub on the south side. It seemed that the majority of the staff was getting into this new Red Bull cnergy ilrink. You may have seen the com- mercials w,th its clever cartoon illustrations and clipping catch phrase, "Red Bull gives you wii- ,ngs!" Well, it seems from wordof-mouth, my Brcwmasters facility has found a new adrenaline zapped resource to keep them catapulted into a state of readiness, because the Red Bull epidemic spread fast. That Fnday, two weeks ago, was the day Red Bull eradicated my physical and mental health for the entire nij;ht spanning into the next evening. Around 7 p.m., 1 chugged the cylindrical Junkie drinlcand waited to see if my patience would be rewarded. Unbeknownst to me, Red Bull was about to take me on a day and a half of pure roller coaster insanity. This silver and blue can dispenses a shade of tan liquid that is similar to a real bull's hide. This liquid tastes like smashed Skittles, but unfortunately is over• powered in its .after taste by the carbonic acid. It states on the can that this elixir will increase endurance and reaction speed, but is not intended for the caffeine sensitive. lhat was the catch live. After alL like most college students, I enjoy the regular cup of coffee. Well, Red Bull is a far shot from your ordinary coffee. Heck, I'd consider ii a galaxy away from a simple espresso shot.

Put your spare hours to good use by becoming a sexual assault health advocate. Advocates go through train- ing to become more eaucated about sexual assault. There are five 3-hour training sessions required to be an advocate. In these sessions, volunteers are taught how to help assault victims, their families and friends. Future advocates learn the emotions behind assault, what the victim is feeling, the procedures they will go through in the examination room, and some of the legal procedures the family can follow to prosecute the offender. When an advocate is called, they go to the hospital after someone has been raped, molested, or sexually assaulted and act as an advocate". Advocates help family mem- bers cope with what their loved one is going through and explain to tfiem what Ifie vic- tim will be going through when at the hospital. Advocates also help explain to family members fhe emotions they and the victim may feel, and that what they are feeling is normal. Having an advocate at the hospital tielps the victim and their family to feel that they are not alone. Advocates are there for support, to answer questions on the procedures the victim goes through, and help them learn to cope. One example would be that many victims recoil when touched by fa.mlly members after being assaulted. Advocates are there to explain to them that this is a normal reaction and is not because of anything they did. When on call, advocates have a phone with them for a 12-hour period. Shifts range from morning, night or all day. They are allowed to sleep during the 12 hours. The requirement is just to be able to drop everything and get to where they are needed. There are monthly meetings to catch up and refresh on what is happening. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. There will be a peace walk on April 29th, details are still in the making on where it will be held. There will be bands, a Walk for Peace and speakers. To find out more, visit the Womyn's Center on campus. You may also call Moira Kalichman at 399-0625 and le.ive a message. If you or anyone you know has been assaulted and wants help, or just wants to talk, call the assault hotline at 637-7233. i"he one -th,n9 B<>.-f vv,o,v-'s- u+: 1;;y be\\ dc,e5vi't do ; 14 ee r' 1-\; s f0"+5 vf'.

Lysistrata's title character, played by Jr. Catherine Apilado, agreed that "a lot of [Lysistrata] is about sex;' but like many of life's aspects there are multiple levels, . "The story is timeless," said Apilado, "Because there have been wars since the beginning of time." The play, which takes place in 2411 A.D. amid warring sectors of the population, is about the struggle of women to end the continuous warring of men because they are fed up with the fighting and death. Lysistrata, whose own father died in battle, organizes the women and "tells them that they need to give up sex in order to stop the .men from fighting," said Apilado, who characterizes Lysistrata as "A temptress" with a bizarre twist of "Southern Belle" and "ditzy Valley Girl." Toprepare for the role Apilado was specifically instructed to envision Hollywood screen legends Sophia Loren and Vivian Leigh, who's best known for her portrayal of Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With the Wind. "It's a very visual show in terms of costumes and colors;' said Apilado, which includes fire-eating, outrageous hair, a sexually suggestive stage, and skimpy wardrobes, which Apilado admitted can be "a little challenging" to deal with. She also said that there are "some interesting visual effects that you'll have to come to see." Comedy in the play comes by way of the situations that various characters get placed into and the ad-libbing encouraged by the play's director, Dale Calandra, who also co-wrote the adaptation, which is based off an original play composed by Greek playwright Aristophanse in 411 B.C. The ad-libbing promises to keep the performances Continued on pag, 3 The RangerFest: A spring open house at Parkslde Tyrone A Payton Co-opinion Page Editor I thas been 3 years since Parkside has had a Spring Open House for the student population, but Saturday, April 21st, the school will rekindle this event and christen it the RangerFest.

The gala spectacle starts at noon and lasts until 4 p.m., and it will showcase interactive sites for the student population beginning in the Union Bizarre and stretching across the campus main level to Main Place.

Plus, Kiss FM is bringing along their infamous Kiss PM Cash Kube, where it could be an early tax return bonus for some students, as they are trapped in the box with the chance to sweep up some extra dough that is flying around inside. A possible even bigger bonus for all participants is the trip for one lucky individual and a guest to Times Square and the MTV Studios for a free tour sponsored by Time Warner Cable. These are probably some of the grandest features at RangerFest, but there is plenty more sites to mention. The Information Services will construct an Internet cafe, where students can enjoy coffee with their computer web browsing. Not to forget, the Peer Health Educators will be mixing up some mocktails, non-alcoholic beverages, for those festivalgoers who want to come off their coffee kick. Also, the Theater of Empowerment will be practicing their thespian skills with a special performance on a series of different conflict scenarios. Other facilities that will be there are the Nursing Programs blood pressure testing exhibit and the Geology Departments interactive display on water. Admissions Counselor Nicole Sturino best put the RangerFest when she said, "We want to showcase the physical beauty of the campus, showcase our programs and our people, and show what we offer." Well, all of these interactive sites will be at RangerFest for all participants to capitalize on each site's experience, and these are just the beginning of what RangerFest has to offer. The sex play is coming continued. fresh. The ad-libbing already occurring during rehearsals "Is really funny" according to Apilado, "It's different every night." She also counts her opportunity to work with the play's writer as very rewarding because "You !l.etto know their every vision' and "you know exactly what's going on." No! There is no nudity. The play's sexually related content should not shock viewers because "Wenever go too far" said Apilado, Calandra would not allow it. "It is very sexual, but it's fun at the same time" according to Apilado, "There's a lot of innuendos," but nothing graphic. "[Lysistrata's] goal is peace" said Apilado, who points out that "withholding sex from the men" is a means of achieving her goal. Sex is just one aspect of the play but it is not the main point.

This doesn't mean you should skip the spicy enchilada special at your favorite Mexican restaurant (if you don't have one then you should go find one!) but you certainly can't be faulted for looking a little more at the long view. Give yourself time to put your feet up and toss around some worst-case scenarios- ever if it's just for grins. AquarlUsJanuary 2Q-February 18 Don't go raining on someone's parade just because you can. I haven't met an Aquarian yet who doesn't love to pop a bright, stupid balloon- its Just part of the .whole package. However, while puncturmg the dreams of morons is such a satisfying sport, it is not always the correct course of action. Sometimes it's better to...just. ..walk ...away. Pisces February 19-March 20 This coming month could be a lot of fun for you wacky water signs. In between moments that make each day annoying there are those precious seconds when you stretch JOur arms, breathe dee\" an know, that whatever you re about to embark on is going to work. The most promise lies particularly in the more (ahem) carnal areas. Libra September2~tober22 It's spring-get outside! Grab a book, a bottle of wine, your syringes or whatever it is you play with and get in the sunshine! Then again, I'm being US centric; if the weather is crap where you are just drink more heavily and it will all be good. Scorpio October 23-November 21 Break out the pots, pans and those strange little kiteben gad gets- its time to go Iron Chef baby! You can do a lot in a kitchen, even if you don't know a whisk from baster, a half pound of fresh chervil from an ounce of tripe. When you're cooking you can focus and let the worries just drift away. Food you cook often tastes better and you can certainly impress those around you with a home-cooked meal. (We're talking MAJOR bonus P9ints .here guys) SagIttarIUs November 22-December 21 We all want to make massive changes in our lives (well, MOST of us do, the rest are just insane) and its always hard to admit that things Just won't happen overnight. Even the best plastic surgery takes weeks to fully heal, so don't think that anything will happen overnight. Take your time, be committed to what you want to achieve and don't think about the end goal. You'll get all bent out of shape that xou haven't reached your goal if you worry day to day- and unless you're trymg to get into shape for an Olympic gymnastics team that's probably not what you really want. Aries March 21-April19 So much information, so little time, so much of a headache. Let's be honest- the information overload is getting insane of late. Take some time to stop absorbing every little bit of news, data and other April 19, 2001 stuff around you. I'm not encouraging you to embrace ignorance, but look where It got our President! Also- the next time someone asks what your best interpersonal skill is, remember not to say' "emotional blackmail." Taurus April 2Q-Mary 20 . Send in the clowns. Seriously. Add an extra dash of humor to your life in the weeks to come and you'll benefit greatly. Things are usually crappy m everyone else's life, so if you can make people laugh they'll love you for it. Don't feel that you have to go the class clown route, but if you feel the urgerock and roll. Gemini May 21-June 21 You know that a little imagination in life is good,but you don't have to go whole-hog on it. Many things in life you CAN take on a certain amount of faith without having to wrestle with it. You know that if you put a hamster in the microwave you'll get a big, wet pop- you don't have to test that theory. While that might be a tad extreme, you get the idea. Cancer June 22-July 22 You're quick, bright and you know what you're after. In a crowd of people, you stand out with your smooth moves and decisive actions. People sway before your opinions and tremble at your rage. You're also susceptible to flattery and need to watch out for that this month. Leo July 23-August 22 The opinions of others will always be something of a thorn . in your side. You can try to patiently walk someone through the logic of your ideas but if they don't want to list~ you might as well be trying to explain foreign politics to our new President. Instead, just relax- the odds are that the person you're arguing with will have something bad happen to them soon enough. Take some time to dip your toes in the water. Virgo August 23-September 22 Did you swing around likea ballerina on crarik last month? Did you take life by the short hairs .and make it dance? Oh well, there goes YOUR chance.

At district, members of Circle K elected new District officers and new Lt. Governors for each division of the 2001-2002school year. The prospective candidates presented themselves to all Circle K members present and were subject to any questions they wished to ask. Then two representatives from each club voted. It was at this convention that current Parkside Circle K president, Nathan Hunter, was elected to be the new Lt. Governor for the southeastern Wisconsin area. Hunter will be responsible for mentorin& a total of 8 clubs. He says, 'It's a fun job, I get to go . to other schools, sit in on their meetings, and make' comments." "I was thinking, Congregations for Nate, he did an excellent I'ob as President and wi I rock as LTG. He ---,,,,,,.=-:-,..----------.., certainly has an enthusiasm that is catching!" said, former Lt Governor of the southeastern division Cindy Ramm from UW Milwaukee Circle K. Hunter hopes to increase interclub activity and has some sly tactics to do this. He is helping to resur- - rect an old tradition, which promotes the taking of other clubs bells and banners. When this occurs the club from which these things have been taken need to send at least four representatives to our Spuds!! get them back. One down side to this is that these items can get damaged. To solve this problem the Circle K groups have taken up mascots, which are more fun and less expensive. Parkside's Circle K group picked their Mascots up at a family dollar in Northern Michigan.

Miller Park opening a huge succeesrr; ....... lach Robertson Sports Page Editor With President George W. Bush throwing out the first pitch and a national anthem that featured a bald eagle flying through the stadium the city of Milwaukee was finally able to' enjoy opening day at MillerPark on April 6. The Brewersbeat the Cincinnati Reds 5-4 in front of 42,024 spectators. The game was won on an eighth-inning home run by Richie Sexson, making the game even more memorable. As Brewers Manager Davey Lopes told the Journal Sentinel, "Youreally couldn't write a better script. ' Miller Park will serve as the cornerstone of the Brewers rebuilding process, with several restaurants, stores and other attractions. Much has been said about the retractable roof, which means no more .rain delays, something fans will appreciate. All of these features will help to generate necessary funds for the small-market Brewers, enabling them to compete with teams such as the New YorkYankees. According to University of Wisconsin-Parkside student Chris Peters, his first impression of Miller Park was one of amazement. "I couldn't believe how big that £Iace was," said Peters. The roof will be great when they get the leaks fixed. Still, it's good to know that the games will be played no matter what the weather is like." The first thing fans will notice when they enter the stadium is that the majority of the seats are located behind home plate and along both baselines. "Miller'Park is so much more fan friendly than County Stadium," said Peters. "Everything is designed to focus your attention on the game." While Miller Park offers the fans a variety of attractions some of the die-hard Brewer fans will miss County Stadium. "Nothing will ever replace Bernie Brewers chalet and the beer barrel in the outfield," said Peters.

They-have their informative kindergarten teacher, Ms. Keane, who treats all of her students with a healthy dose of knowledge. There is also Sara Bellum, who is the intellectual secretary to the Mayor, and who is obviously smarter than the puny, senile Mayor is. The distinct name choices are evident of how McCracken wants even these mature female heroines to be in the eyes of the youth; as strongly independent, capable of their own skills, and bright among all things. Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup are truly ideal role models for today's youth, as little boys will grow up respecting their female friends, and girls will understand that they too 'can become brilliant and reach eminence in the big world awaiting them. Even older "kids" can learn a lesson or two in how to respect one another and enjoy each other's company from these youngsters. Who knows, the Powerpuff Girls could even cure the cooties in the playground. the I?resent children of today and into the latter part of generation X. It's also more than one gender that is in love with these tykes, for these kids have guys and gals across America under their charm. The producer, Genndy Tartakovsky, creator of Cartoon Network's infamous Dexter's Laboratory, saw a revolution of cartoons in PPG. The girls do battle with a colorful array of supervillians from the intellectually mad monkey, Mojo Jojo, to the hillbilly hick furrball, Fuzzy Lumpkins, to the androgynous, demonic evil entity, "Him:' and even topple gigantic, despicable monsters that tower above the Townsville skyscrapers. By outsmartmg these grownup spawn of wickedness, the PPG save Townsville time after time, while still attending school, being creative, laughing with other children, helping in the community, and being responsible and respecting children to their surrogate father figure. Not only do they have the Professor as a father figure; they also have ment. Particularly, the capitalizing efforts of the Cartoon Network have popularized three little eight-year-olds into colossal superstars. From reality to fantasy, women in society have gone from French war hero, Joan of Are, to U.S. women's rights activist, Susan B.Anthony, to the phenomenal Powerpuff Girls (PPG). With sugar, spice, and every thing nice, and the accidental addition of the experimental chemical X, Professor Utonium of the fictional cartoon city of Townsville gave birth to Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. Together with their new dynamic powers from chemical X and the general sweetness provided by the former ingredients, Professor Utonium created the perfect little girls. The cartoon concocted by its true professor, cartoonist, Craig McCracken, has taken the market world by storm. The three tiny titans have seemingly appealed to a span of generations from are becoming the embodiment of these role models.

The bench players also stepped up, such as Darvin Ham and Scott Williams. The Bucks are known as a unpredictable, and most of all a good team. Last week the Bucks were second in scoring, third in free throw I?ercentage, fifth in three point percentage and seventh in field Sports Reporter L ast year when Travis Best of the Indiana Pacers hit that three pointer that knocked the Milwaukee Bucks out of the first round of playoffs, it must have gotten to those Bucks. This year the Bucks not only are in the playoffs again, but have won the Central Division title for the first time in over 15 years. Since the start of the 2000- 2001 NBA season the Bucks were even favored to win the Eastern Conference. The reason why the Bucks were favored is because Alonzo Mourning of the Miami Heat was side1ine with a kidney disordered (now Mourning is back to playing), New York Knicks were too small, and the Indiana Pacers not only lost Coach Bird, but also lost three starters, and veteran Chris Mullin. Unfortunately, for the Bucks, they started this season sloppy. Their record into the start of the season was 3-9. Then the Bucks started to get scoring from Glenn Robinson (Big Dog) Robinson, Ray goal percentage. The Bucks are one of the few teams in the NBA that don't turn the ball over. .In a phone interview John Ehlenbeck, Public Relations Intern for the Milwaukee Bucks said,"The last time the Bucks won a Central Division title was in the. 1985-1986season." The Bucks seem to just be on the winning track. Of course, for the Bucks to advance far into the playoffs, they need the "Big Three" to step up with huge scoring. The Big Three are Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Glenn Robinson. Already this year the Big Three have pushed the Bucks past the 42-win mark for the first time since 1991. They even account for 60 percent of Bucksi scoring. Sam Cassell is averaging 18 points a game, ranking eighth in assists (7.6), ana 15th in shooting percentage (48.5 percent). Cassell also recorded his career high game with 40 points. Ray Allen is one of the NBA's pure shooters and he's great at the three's. His career high game is 42 points. Glenn Robinson just does everything. His career high game is 45 points. Ehlenbeck said, "Yeah, the Big Three will be a huge factor in the playoffs. The Bucks need these guys to win games." Ehlenbeck then stated, "The Bucks have had tremendous help from the bench. When one of the Big Three is injured, the bench steps up. These three need to step up as well as the bench." Regular season of the NBA came to an end this week, now it's time to watch those Bucks, hopefully, bringing a NBA Championship to the state of Wisconsin. "We don't know ticket prices yet because it varies, but the playoffs start April 21. The Bucks could flay either Saturday, April2 or Sunday, April 22, " said Ehlenbeck. From left to right: Ray Allen, Sam Cassell, and Glenn Robinson of the Milwaukee Bucks (#2 s~) are poised. to take on the Orlando Magic (#7 seed) in the first round round of the 2001 NBA Playoffs.

Parkside radio 101.7 FM and 103.7 KISS FM were on hand to broadcast from the campus and the Kiss Cash Cube was set up outside the Union giving par­ticipants the opportunity to grab some extra cash. One lucky individual won a trip to Times Square and the MTV Studios for a free tour sponsored by Time Warner Cable. The festival offered many interactive opportunities such as a life-sized model of a whale for people to crawl through, a kissing booth ran by a student from WIPZ, Jamie Freeman, an Internet Cafe set up by Infor­mation Services, and tasty alco­hol-free mocktails made by Peer Health Educators. Cast members from Lysistra-ta paraded from one end of the building to the other dressed in full costume carrying signs pro­moting the play and telling people "Don't see this play!

They have spent many long hours preparing this event, and are eagerly anticipating the impact they hope to accom­plish. Communication depart­ment chair and senior seminar professor, Dr. Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz said, "One of the nicest things about teaching senior seminar is watching our students pull together and use all the skills that they have learned in the major." The Boys and Girls Club of Kenosha is a youth organiza­tion that helps improve youth's self-esteem and val­ues. Additionally, they work to prevent involvement in gangs, teen sex, alcohol, and drug use. In addition to this event, the 38 graduating majors have volunteered 12 hours at different sites, thus positively affecting many youngsters' lives. The co-sponsored fundrais-ing concert event, Chords for Kids, will feature three bands and two solo artists from the Kenosha and Racine areas. generi The Other Side, Major Chaos, and Sgt. 606, and the solo artists are Lars Bergerson and Todd Bryant.

Chords for Kids will take place on Thursday April 26, 2001 from 7:00 p.m. until 1:30 a.m. at Twisterz Night Club, which is located at 6218-22nd Avenue in Kenosha. Chords for Kids is a 21 and over show, and there will be a $5.00 dona­tion at the door.

(US DOJ via Reuters) By Dave Buchanan biographies include Francis Ford Coppola: A Filmmaker's Life. Tlie recent release of Apocalypse Now Redux, the original-length version of Coppola's Vietnam War epic, has stirred new interest in both films. Based loosely on Joseph Conrad's novel The Heart of Darkness, Apocalypse Now is considered one of the best war films of all time. The film also made headlines for its extravagant cost overruns and the physical and mental breakdowns of those involved during filming. Schumacher will talk about the shorter theatrical release and the "restored" version. Schumacher says he looks forward to meeting UW-Parkside students at Saturday's program. "lowe a lot to UW-Parkside:' said Schumacher, who has also written books on beat poet Allen Ginsberg, rocker Eric Clarton, and folkie Phil Ochs. " remember reading modern literature with Waft Graflin many years ago. And Andy McLean has often invited me to talk to students about writing non-fiction." Saturday's program is free and open to the public. UWP Public Relations Director Former UW-Parkside student, Michael Schumacher, will present Francis Ford Coppola, Apocalypse Now and Apocalypse Now Redux on Saturday, Nov. 10, at 7 p.m., at First Presbyterian Church, located on 7th St. and College Ave. in Racine. Part of the Writers for Literacy series, the program is sponsored by the Racine Literacy CounCIl and Martha Merrell's Bookstore. Schumacher is a Kenoshabased free-lance writer whose anthrax is "definitely not contagious." It is not an airborne disease and can only be transmitted by coming in contact with the bacterial spores. She said there are specific symptoms of the inhaled form of anthrax. "It starts off flu like with the typical muscle pain and fever. However you don't get phlegm. You have a 'nonproductive' cough and finally an acute shortness of breath. The shortness of breath is really key." The time it takes for symptoms to occur "varies on when the spores germinate." This could be six to thirty days. Dr. Ruffolo said that "ali these factors have to corne together:' in order to diagnose a person has inhaled Anthrax. There have been reports of citizens buying Cipro, an antibiotic now used to treat anthrax, over the internet. "Cipro can do more harm than good if administered wi thout the proper medical supervision:' said Dr. Ruffolo. If Cipro is not taken froperly, it can be very harmfu . People who buy Cipro over the internet do not know how to take the antibiotic properly and they could have an adverse reaction to it. Dr. Ruffolo noted that the anthrax sent through the mail to the "government and media was a clear threat." She also stated, "I don't think any university is a target for an anthrax scare." For now, students, staff and faculty here at Parkside need to "be very careful with the mail." Anyone that sees mail that may look suspicious should report it to the campus police immediately. For now the University of Wisconsin-Parkside is a safe place to attend school or work. The university is taking proper precautions with the mail and if there are any further questions about anthrax the experts here at Parkside, our professors, will gladly answer any questions.

Nofbecause of the lack of food, or even the quality of food; that is hardly the problem. This time it is because of the lack of funds on most of our student meal plans. I am now down to about fifty bucks, an amount that might not e last up to next week. I had the seven hundred and fifty-dollar meal plan that only came out to four hundred and fifty dollars. If you are wondering how that happened then I guess it is time for me to tell you. You see UW-Parkside, and our new food service company worked out a contract that aIJowed three hundred dollars to be taken out of "our" student meal plans. It seems they thought there was no need to complain, because the money was taken out of our meal plans (meaning our food money) for administrative costs and fixed salaries. To me, this is not a good enough reason to take money out of my pocket, and food out of my stomach. In a recent conversation I had with Steve McLaughlin, Dean of Students at V.WParkside I was able to gather some numbers to help show how much money will be taken out of student meal plans over the course of the years. Did you know that there are about seven hundred and sixty five students living on campus? Now if you multiply that number by three hundred what do Money rules By Tiffany Grant Entertainment Editor T he new book called Money Rules - Personal Finance Strategies for Your 20' s and 30' s by Juliette Fairley is the perfect book for reople who are in college or just out 0 college. It gives ten easy steps for younger adults to establish good credit and ways to increase their "financial power." Fairley says, "Three out of five college grads return to live with mom and dad and stay there for as much as five years. BaSically,these people are leaving the home at almost 30 years of age with zero financial yower of freedom." . The sters that Fairely offers for stayfig out 0 debt are to get a job, save money and try to pay cash for trips, do n?t mix money with roommates or significant others, monitor the money you spend, establish good credit, do not rely on your parents, open a bank account, go to the ATM machine once a week, budget your spending money you come up with? Yes sir about 229,500 dollars. To get the end result you have to multiply that number by two to account for both semesters of school; which amounts to about 459,000 dollars a year. Now if you are anything like me you are probably thinking, "damn that's a lot of money, and where is it all going?" Well your guess is as good as mine because I don't know either. Another fact is that this is a seven year contract renewable by year if there are complications. So let us see 229,500 x 2 = 459,000 x 7 = 3,213,000 over the course of seven years, now where is all this money going? The numbers are even bigger than that. There still was money taken out of commuter meal plans also, so we still do not know the real figures. To balance it all out though, stu-- dents were given a generous fifty- percent off of items in the Parkside cafeteria. Which, in all senses, is no deal at all. You see if you take half of a man's money, then marge them half off on goods it is true the price balances out, but in the end you still beat him out of half of his money. So really someone just up and took our money, and tried to hide it. If you ask me it seems to be some dishonesty going around, and something should be done about it. Personally, I will not stand for it anymore, and neither should anyone else. On top of what I am trying so hard to get across, the food here is way too expensive for what we are getting. For continued on page 10 and learn how to cook. These tips can assure a good start in the world after college. Fairley says, "Take the average 19 year-old and tell them they can marge a spring break trip to Cancun, Mexico and pay it off little by little and they'll ask you where they can sign up. In the mid 80's credit card companies began to tap into the college market. Since then, credit card debt for those ages 20- 30 has drastically increased." She also said, "Establishing good credit IS important. What you do with your credit in college will haunt you for seven years after graduation, more if your debt is excessive." ". . Fairley explores ways to deal With parents and money, finding a roommate who isn't a financial flake, career reality checks, tips on auto insurance / general insurance. investing tips, 40lk, IRA, money market accounts, mutual funds, debt, credit damage control, prenuptial agreements and the purchase of your first home." . . This book is already available in stores and on-line. It is $16.00 and is a great book for the college student that needs financial help and guidance. I:::):> ~ LIKE. ~lC.? DO 'bJ WAN. "TV ~ YOVR.

Cole is a special assistant to New York's Governor George Pataki. He came to UW-Parkside on a track and field scholarship and graduated in 1993. Of his career, Cole said he had done an internship with the then-State Senator Pataki and "the rest was history". When talking about the events of September 11, Cole told us that his office used to be in Tower One of the World Trade Center. He has since moved to 3rd Avenue in midtown' Manhattan. Cole was on his way to a meeting when he heard of the attacks and said his first thought was: "Where is the Governor?" He was asked if he had known anyone who was in the Towers that morning. His response was, "Yes, I had one very, very good friend who was eating at the Windows to the World restaurant," the eatery at the top of one of the towers. Cole went on to say his friend had called his wife and told her that he would be okay. His friend was the head of New York Port Authority. Cole was still very shaken by the events of September 11, and said that because of his job he really had not had time to relate to the attacks on a personallevel. He showed pain in his eyes as he spoke of his lost friend and heard the strain in his voice as he answered questions about what it was like to be in New Yorkthat devastating morning.

Alumni and staff members speak to students giving insight on now to be strong leaders in life. The remaining topic in the VIPLeadership series of this semester is motivation. This will give students a boost so they can stay focused.through the rest of the semester. Held November 2nd, it is a chance for students to rejuvenate. Most students work a job and go to school. Midway into the semester, some tend to "burn out" from trying to manage so many things at once. This leadership series is way to help those students who need that extra push to keep going. The final topic in the Sliceof Leadership Series, named because pizza is served at the presentation, is "How to , set and live your priorities:' Most of the students have set goals tor ourselves; be it when we want to graduate, wedding dates, having children, or getting good jobs. This session will snow students not only how to set realistic goals, but also logical steps that can be taken to accomplish them. It will be held November 28th in Union 104/106 from 4p.m. to 6p.m. Amber Engel, student activities coordinator, said the two series have been a success.

' The Packers "D" has given up just 10 more points than Chicago. And the Packers have a bu::'ding star in Kabeer GbajaBiamila who s whacked opposing QBs 10 times this year. The rest of the Packer front seven is solid if not spectacular and the secondary is not suspect. It' s g~. On offense, pick one: Brett Favre or Shane Matthews? If you picked Matthews, please check with the Student Health and Counseling Center for psy_ chiatric help. Favre still has a cannon, Matthews has an air gun. The Packers also have Ahman Green who ran for 169 yards against Tampa Sunday. The Bears have slightly better receivers than GB (unless Bill Schroeder returns in game shape this week) and Anthony Thomas'll be a star running back someday, but the Packers have Favre. End of story. Special teams are the Packers' Achilles heel. Until Sunday's m punt return by Alan Rossum, the return game was flaccid. The coverage teams are worse. And the once automatic Ryan Longwell couldn't kicking the ball into the ocean right now. If t1ie game come down to a field goal or a punt return, the Bears win. Oh, and if the Bears are behind by a couple of IDs late in the game, here's some good advice: don't turn off your TV or leave Soldier Field until the clock runs out.

Even THAT guy would have to admit the last two Bears games have been interesting. . On consecutive Sunday, the Bears have erased deficits of at least two touchdowns, forced overtime in games they had no business even being in, and won in OT on interceptions that were returned for touchdowns by the same defensive back. Both against tearns with solid winning records. It's enough to make even a cheesehead snurk witli admiration. The great thing is Chicago's six straight wins set up what should be an epIc battle between two old NFL rivals this Sunday. The improbable Bears (6-1) are atop the NFC Central, a game up on the Pack (5-2). And while every time Chicago and Green Bay meet, the game means something, this reporter is heard pressed to remember t1ie last time a Bears Packers ame meant somethin in W ith their last game of the season, the Rangers went out on top with a 7-0 win against Northwood, on Sunday, October 28.

James Dean and mechanic Rolf Wutherwick, went for a ride in Dean's 'Little Bastard' Porsche.' At 5:45 that evening Dean would be dead and his promising career over. Idol status and images of eternal youth would shroud the memory of James Dean as it does with many stars that die too young. Though Dean's status as a sex symbol still stands to this day, his popularity is too great to be based exClusively on looks. The films he left behind, which number onl'! three, serve to remind watchers 0 the high quality work that Dean put out at such an early stage of what would no doubt have been a highiy successful career if he had lived Which begs the question, what if? What if he had lived just one more year? He shot three films in 1955 alone, what could he have left behind with an extra year of filming, or two, or three? What if he had lived?

Chancellor Keating speaks: Human reaction to disaster Series Number The series number of the original collection.

Soldiers were immediately flown home and did not have the chance to discuss what they witnessed. When on the battlefield, the soldiers were able to separate their emotions from their job, but afterwards it was hard to cope. Keating believes that is wily some Vietnam veterans suffer with PTSD that has some- times taken over their lives. Another downside to PTSD, or even the regular stress from these types of professions is that it can have a tremendous nega- tive affect on their personal lives. "Not getting along with people you may have had Ions; relationships' with can occurs, J said Keating. continued on page 11 after an incident. He also believes that the people who talk about the trauma have an easier time getting through it, but it is hard to tell someone about a horrific event. Often times those pro- fessionals are interviewed about what happened, but never asked how the event has affected them. "Once they begin to talk about their experiences they get it back together," said Keating. The I-ost-traumatic stress suffere by Vietnam veter- ans was the example that Keating used to illustrate the affects of PTSD. He talked about the fact that during previous wars the soldiers returned home via ship five to seven days later which allowed them to talk about Assistant Editor E mergency responders, firefighters, police offi- cers, doctors; the list continues and so does the trauma. On Wednesday, November 7, John Keating, UW-Parkside Chancellor, spoke on behalf of the Psychology department. The topic, "Human reaction to disaster: what's next?" worked into the current tragedy of September II. Kea ting, an expert in human reaction to disaster, has traveled the United States for research and brought a variety of informa- tion to the forum. A signifi- cant portion of the event revolved around the idea that cognitive thinking allows Page 4 CelebratingNative American Heritage FormerUW-P professor writes book on searching for family history Chancellor John Keating, social psychologist and expert in human reactions to disaster. people do their jobs perfectly. However their emotions are pushed aside, and there comes a point when the trau- ma is too great and begins to destroy the person.

He has been teaching full time at Parkside since 1969. ~ To have been teaching and influencing others for such a long period of time, it is con- ceivable that· Professor Lindner had geat influences of his own. 'One summer's night I was sitting with m)' best friend in his father s car...and he asked me why I never considered g~ing u:to English, and I told him I did- n't want to be just teaching composition for the rest of my life. He said that wasn't what teaching English was about. He said mostly it is about teaching Literature and since you love literature, and you love to read, and you write so well, I would think it would be a very good field for you. Then I suddenly realized ... at thai point I knew what I was By Becky Olsen nature, of their own nature, and somethin 9 about American cul- ture, too.' Having won the Stella Gray Teaching Excellence Award once before, Professor Lindner feels honored to receive this gift from his students once more. "It is a great honor because you are cho- sen by your students. You are not soliciting letters of reconunenda- tion, but rather this is on the basis of what you have done in the classroom according to your students, who are the ones on he receiving end of it. I feel that the students are responsive and appreciative of what I am trying to do, and that they also feel that they have learned or grown somewhat from the semester and this is their way of telling me thank you." Other awards pro- fessor Lindner has won in the past, along with this award, going to do," said Lindner. Although Professor Lindner majored in physics, he knew English was right for him. "Teaching became my passion almost as soon as I set foot in the classroom. So even though I expected to enjoy it, it turned out to be the joy of my life. To be able to do what you love and to be paid for it really is to be blessed. If When students leave Professor Lindner's classes each semester, he has high but seemingly appropriate expectations for what each student gains from his cours- es. "I hope that among the things that they take away is a passion for the literature, that I hope they have caught from me, a curiosity about lit- erature that pushes them to do more reading, a fierce desire to think for them- selves, and somewhat better understanding of human Women's Cross Country Bears/Packers recap Reporter T wo professors. at the University of Wisconsm " Parkside were recently awarded with the Stella Gray Teaching Excellence Award, Carl Lindner, professor of English, and Professor Carol Vopat, also professor of English.

The class came to the solution that they would do a number of events that would ulti- mately help the Shalom Homeless Shelter. They broke off into multiple groups and went to work organizing and planning for the big events. The goals of Senior Seminar class were focused around a food and clothing drive, a marketing group, a volunteer group, and an end of the year bash group. Tlie food and clothing drive was held on campus for one week and delivered all of the proceeds to the Shalom Ranger. It was the responsibility of this group to get the word out about the Senior Seminar Classes accomplishments. The volunteer group held a day to recruit possible students that were interested in vo l u n t e e ri n g . They also gave a presentation to a freshman univer- sity seminar class on the ben- efits of partaking in the vol- unteer process. Anyone that committed to volunteer at least once within this semes- ter will gain free access to our end of the year bash. The end of the year bash group organized all of the necessary plans to celebrate and collectdonations of food or money for the Shalom Helping out at the Inns Program for the homeless shelter are (left to right): Kirsten Ziarek, Linda Muffler, Kenny Merrit, Jamie Jenjak and Beth Aiello Center. Many of the students took their turn at the table to encourage others to donate for the needy. The group exceeded their goals with the number of boxes of food and clothing that they had intend- ed on collecting. The marketing group was in charge of contactinghome- town newspapers, Racine and Kenosha Journals, and The We all love Lucy By Deborah G. Hahm Co-Assistant Editor E quipped with a charis- matic smile, blazing red hair and a comedic per- sonality, Lucille Ball entered into stardom. Most know her from the "I Love Lucy" show also starring her husband. Marking its 50th-anruversary, the "I Love Lucy" show aired for a two hour special November II, zooi. "I Love Lucy" went on the air at 9/m on October 15, 1951,an has never been off since. The show was base~ on the CBS radio sh~~ My Favorite Husband With Lucille Ball as the wife. CBS decided to make the show into a television series starrIng Ball. She agreed but onll: under the conditions that Desi Arnaz her real life husband, would play her husband in the series. CBS did not ~ the viewers would find e couple believable. Ball add Arnaz went on tour forvall e- viIlesto prove to them that the couple· would work well together and be believed. The public loved the show and CBS loved the pilot the two produced. Many of the <\rnaz's vaudeville acts were incorporated into the show. Vivian Vance and William Frawley, Ethel and Fred Mertz joined to make the series a four- some. Very fewepisodes do not show one or both of these characters. Ethel is Lucy's best friend as well as her co-conspirator,while Fred and Ricky often discuss the peculiarities of women and their wives. Fred and Ethel play the roles of fictional,TV- type, neighborly friends with a twist of a realisticmarriage. Desi's character, Ricky Ricardo, is a bongo-beating, singing bandleader with a thick Cuban accent. Many of the mishaps on the show are owed to his inaudible dialect. In fact, Lucy was con- fused when Ricky pro- posed toher, wondering if it was a proposal for marriage or a night at the movies. His most used line was "What's amatter which you? You crazy sum-fing?" Fights with Lucy after finding out what mischief she's been up to often led him to yell in his native tongue, which prompt- ed Lucy's, "Stop jabbering at me!!" The cast of the "I Love Lucy" show: Lucllle_Ball, Vivian Vance, William Frawley and Cui Amaz. Center. This included the plan- ning of where and when the basil would take place. They also had to book a DJ to enter- tain at the bash. Finally, they designed t-shirts that the Senior Seminar Class will be wearing the day of and at the bash. For all who would like to show support and have a good time feel free to stop by Spades on November 29tll after 7:00 P.M. The cost for this fun-filled night is $4.00 at the door or $2.00with a canned food item. All students that agreed to vol- unteer are granted free entry. You must be 21 years old to enter. As a result of being involved with the homeless, the class has made some noticeable progress in the community. Giving their time has resulted in homeless individuals with- new winter clothes, food for the holidays, and a new outlook on lifeitself. • LucilleBallseemed to many of her friends to be playing the role ofherself. Shewas a sillywoman that often talked "Donald Duck" and made funny faces.Shestud- ied drama with Bette Davis as a classmate. But after a year her acting coach told her she was not talented enough to make it in act- ing. She started in commercials but soon starred in movies and radio leading her into the "I Love Lucy" show. The show aired for six seasons totaling 179 episodes. Each episode started with a plausible situation which would be thrown awry with exaggerated absurdi- ty. Lucy was starched, frozen, stuffed with chocolate,locked in a trunk and pummeled with grapes. The show took off with the public and soon 44 million viewers tuned in to watch and arguing odd couple and their two best friends, a crazy Cuban and his funny-faced wife. Theshow stillairs on TVLand and a listing of episodes can be found on the Internet. No matter what age or interests, "I Love Lucy" can be loved by all. So tape all of them and sit down with a bag of potato chips, a box of chocolate and enjoy a night free of homework and full of laughs.

Hahm Co-Assistant Editor L ast week the Peer Health Group volun- teered to screen stu- dents for depression. The National Screening Day was on October 11, but the group felt that this time of the year would be better for students and faculty. The screening process starts out with a simple ques- tionnaire that then gets ana- lyzed by a counselor. The purpose of having a table set up is to outreach a variety of different students. There were not as many that requested an analysis or information this year, but Marcy Hufendick allocated this to the placement of the table. The Peer Health Group helps students understand their reactions to an unfortu- nate event or possibly find out what event could have led to depression. The coun- selors are experienced to help Depression is the common cold of Psychology label the problem correctly and then give the person the proper course of action to treat the dis- ease. While the counselors can not give out medication or diag- nosis, they can send a referral for treatment FROM A LARGER ASSOCIATION. Since the September 11 attack, more students have sought out help from the Counseling Center. Students seem to be more willing to explain their feeling of fear and vulnerability. The Counseling Center is staffed with seven stu- dents with a range of age and two staff members, Vicki Wahler and Marcy Hufendick. Marcy is also the Program Manager and Senior Counselor Coordinator. For more information on depression, visit the Counseling Center located behind Talent Hall. They have pamphlets for those that want to learn more or counselors available to talk. Make appointments by visiting or calling 595-2366. Please note that all sessions are free and confidential. Gender stereotypes presentation brings awareness By Rosie Veziridis Reporter U w-parkside's Psychology depart- ment presented "Gender Stereotypes: Alive and Unwell." Professor Sylvia Beyer spoke to a group of willing students to help make them aware of gender stereotypes. It was held on November 28, 2001, at noon in Molinaro 0137. The professor discussed two studies: one of them was Gender Stereotypes in majors (which was done here at Parkside) and the other in Occupations. Stereotype, as defined in Webster's Dictionary, is "a conventional opinion or belief." It exists in our society today and espe- cially in the workforce. It is also present on a college cam- pus. As far as majors, the ones deemed as "female" occupa- tions were Psychology, Art, English, Communication, Biology, Business, and Music. Mainly "male" dominating occupations are 'Political Science, History, Chemistry, Math, and Computer Science. A startling statistic was that fifty-six percent of women received a Bachelor's Degree, whereas only forty- four percent of men receive theirs. "We're not aware of women's needs," stated Professor Beyer during the presentation, and recalled a story, which took place eight years ago. In Molinaro hall, a woman's restroom never existed; only a male's restroom was available. This was due to the fact that most business, psychology, and computer science classes were given here, and that they were typically male dominated. So the men saw no need to add a women's restroom. It was eventually changed as we see it today. Professor Beyer was born in Austria, but was raised and attended college in southwest Germany. She attended the University of Trubingen where she attained her Bachelor's Degree. After her Bachelor's Degree, she relocated to the states and attended the University of Oregon where it took her another six years to get her Ph.D. With a total of ten years in school, she finally settled into a job with UW-Parkside, and has been with the university for eleven years. In a personal interview with the professor, she commented on her recent development. "What I really enjoy now is that I have this large grant, which allows me to do more research. I can teach and research." The grant she received is from the National Science Foundation. A freshman, Jackie Schroeder, commented on why she attended the presentation. "I came because I'm taking Women's Studies 110 and we're doing a group project. And I'm interested in 1earning about stereotypes." Professor Beyer concluded her presentation aby stating, "Gender stereotypes are alive and unwell." �-----.:....-_-------=--=-----=-------=~=--- H THING= Arts Theatre, 7:30 p.m., tickets: $5/3 for Chocolate,"by Laura Esquivel, Union 202, 3 p.m., free, open To anyone who has read the book, Continuing Events Through December 13 December 14 • Art Exhibition: Amy Norgaard & Greg Porcaro, alumni exhibition, nOUIS: Monday I Thursday: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Tuesday /WednJ'sday: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., free • Men's basketball vs. Winona State, SAC, 7 p.m December 8 • Women's basketball vs. SlU-Edwardsville 1 p.m., SAC • Concert: Kerri ~her.wood, adult contemporary piano, Comrnurucatiun Arts Theatre, 7:30 p.m, tickets: $12 Daily events: • Men's basketball vs. SlU-Edwardsville 3:15 p.m., SAC December 6 December 15 • Play: The Cripple of Inishmaan.
