Friends at The Junction, his favorite hang out in Racine, had a nickname for him, the professor. Linda Waw- iorka said it reminded her of the show Cheers. "Matthew would walk in and the patrons would shout "Professor!" Matthew passed his incredi- ble energy to his students who used it to create a lot of beauti- ful work. A two-day pottery sale last May sold out in a few hours. Not only did he teach Iunction-vs-aesthetics of ceramics, he helped students understand the mechanics of ceramics by involving them with the building of a new kiln. He would take them on trips to the University of Notre Dame, and Chicago. He loved to talk about Notre Dame and shared all of the knowledge he received from there with his students, David Vateia, a 'riend of Iatthews from Notre Dame, said " I hope everyone will remember Matthew for his great personality and always- smiling face. He gave a passion to the arts that very few have the. talent and means to express. He enjoyed teaching ceramics and gave so much to his students:' Professor Robert Pierce Sedlack Jr, Department of Art, Art History and Design at the University of Notre Dame said, "Matthew was full of both talent and joy.He will be greatly missed by all those he touched. But it is those he would have touched that will miss him even more". In mid November there will be a memorial show of Matthew's work, and a collabo- ration that was created from a demo piece Matthew started, which some of his students will complete in his honor. Matthew's work will remain at UW-Parkside until the end of the show. The University hopes to purchase a piece to be per- manently displayed. Everyone is wanted, wel- come and needed.

The event began at four o'clock in the afternoon with the sidewalk chalk memorial where people in either Ranger Hall or the University Apart- ments wrote their thoughts and feelings about that day. Many wrote such things as " I love New York" and biblical scrip- tures.The writings occurred on the new walkway between the University Apartments and Ranger Hall. At six o'clock that evening, the residents could come within the core building of the University Apartments or the Atrium of Ranger Hall and make bracelets of memory. There were beads of red, white and blue being used. At nine o'clock in the evening, the resi- dents in the Apartments gath- ered near the walkway and the residents of Ranger Hall gath- ered for a candlelight vigil. The Resident Advisors passed out programs and candles for stu- dent residents. The programs had an agenda of what was to occur and the words to certain American songs such as the Star Spangled Banner and America the Beautiful. The pledge of Allegiance was spo- ken as everyone near the resi- dence halls could hear the three hundred eighteen resi- dents that were present. After the songs and pledge were given, there was a affair. When all the can. dles were blown out, there was a small group of stu- dents from Ranger Hall that cried and prayed with their candle still going. Student Brain Brzeznski wasasked what were his thoughts on thatday and he stated " as soon as we found ~I~~ out what had hap- ;: pened, we were gassing up the planes, getting ready to fly out. We knew that war was going to be the next thing." Whether they were wearing t-shirts with the flag on them or wearing a flag, September 11th is a day that will forever echo in the hearts of not just the country,but in the Residence Halls aswell.

Overcoming a rocky start, DJ went on to complete his bachelor degree in Communi- cations at UWP.While in col- lege,he gained some of his first experience helping other stu- dents, working as a peer advi- sor.After graduating in 1996,OJ went on to do much more with youth and multiculturalism. For three years DJ did com- munity work with a project called "ujima" (Swahili for "col- lective work and responsibili- ty").

After his work with the Boys and Girls Club, OJ became Parkside's Director of Resident Life.He describes it as being a "high energy, student-involved, . goal-oriented position". He says that there really were no parameters to his level of involvement in helping stu- dents. They came to him with anything ranging from school- related problems to personal issues.

This comes less than eighteen months after it received a new paint job back in March, 2001.The Pool's latest face lift occurred over the last two weeks of August, 2002. Earlier this summer paint began chipping away off of the bottom of the pool. It was so bad that people using the pool could literally bring up chunks of paint in their hands. On July 29, 2002, the pool was drained and the prepara- tion process to repaint the pool began. Showers Build- ing Restoration Co. from Madi- son, Wisconsin, were contract ed to carry out the work.This is ceramic tile deck.

On September 18, 2002, employees of Showers BUilding Restoration came back to Park- side to correct certain areas of paint that have become jagged and very sharp. "We really did- n't notice it until it got filled: commented Wendy Miller, Park- side's Aquatics Director. This was something that Millerhad said never happened to the pool before. Due to safety con- cerns the problem had to be corrected.As minor as it was, all we needed was one person to cut themselves and then we're in big trouble." The pool has since made its Grand Re-opening, which occurred on Monday, Septem- ber 23. It is now open for class- es and the general public. The operation of the pool is not yet running at 100%, however. To ensure that it is as safe as pos- sible, its usage will be limited for the next couple of weeks. Men's soccer team evens the score with Lewis AlexVoskuil Sports Editor Coming off of a tough 3-1 loss against SIU- Edwardsville to open the conference season last Friday night, the men's soccer team needed a victory Sun- day Afternoon. That is exactly what they got taking it to a strong Lewis team 1-0. This win evens their all-time record with Lewis at 11-114_ Heading into Sunday's game the Rangers were ranked 15 in the national poll for Divi- sion IIplay. With the victory the Rangers improve to 5-2 overall and 1-1in the Great Lakes Val- ley Conference (GLVC). "There's no question that we were the better team today.We deserved the win, we earned the win, we got the right to win," replied Coach Rick Kilps after his team's victory at Wood Road Field. "We knew where their [Lewis 1 weaknesses were and where their strengths were and so we tried to play to their weaknesses." Senior Seth Pearson found the back of the net with 30:39 left on the clock in the second half of play for the only goal of the contest The assist on the goal went to freshman Derek Kilps.Kilps was making his sec- ond start on the young season . Pearson's goal adds to a pletho- ra of players who have stepped up to score so far for the men's . soccer team, which is what Kilps has been looking for. No one player is expected to carry the load. Rather the game plan has' been to scoring by com- mittee for the Rangers. Senior Riley Mewes and fel- low senior Andres Cerritos were solid as usual leading the attack on numerous occasions for the Rangers. Junior Joey Alessi was the staling Goalie for Parkside. He has been the goalie all season long. Alessi made a number of nice defensive stops to improve on his goals against average, which was at 0.80 entering play last weekend. This gives him his third shutout of the season in seven games. "Joe was very strong as goalkeeper. He knew he had to come to play. He knew they [Lewis] played long, direct stuff," said Kilps on his goal keepers performance. "He [Alessi] was there, he as on the spot." The Rangers will be in action next this weekend with an away game against St.Xavier on Friday, September, 27. They return home two days later on September 29, to take on St. Joseph's at 12:00p.m. at Wood Road Field. University Sports .

Quinn Newton competes inthe September 21.2002 race that qualified. Sophomore Robyn Stevens led the Lady Rangers with a 10th place finish for the women's 3.I-mile race. Stevens covered the course in 18:54just 40 seconds off the pace of win- ner Caitlin Compton, a senior from Northern Michigan Uni- versity. Northern Michigan landed the top two spots and went on to be the number one team for the women's portion of the invite. They totaled just 32 points. Parkside finished with 142total points fortheir top five scorers, which was good for 5 overall. Bellarmine suffered through a miserable year in 2001 with a 1-14record in con- ference play."Wecan't look past anyone in our conference this season" commented Wolter on the conference portion of the schedule,"our strategy isto min- imize our mistakes and keep everyone in the offense." Alter going undefeated to begin the season at 5-0, the Rangers have cooled off most recently going 14 in the last five filth place, overall. Coach Mike DeWitt com- mented, "As a whole I think we ran real strong today.Welooked a little tired, but if everyone looks tired I'm not worried about it" The other four scorers for the women's team included senior Erin Enright,sophomore Anne Favolise, junior Jessica Krantz and senior Janna Wee- den. They placed 26,28,29 and 49, respectively. Enright com- mented alter the meet "we ran well today,it wasn't a bad race for anyone on our squad." For the men's team junior Quinn Newton was the top run- ner. He finished fourth overall with a time of 25:54 for the men's five-mile run. This was just 33seconds offthe best time ofthe meet.lt was Newton's first race of the season. The top fin- isher on the men's side was Ser- games prior to last weekend. The only change Wolter sees fromthe team that started out at 5-{) to the one that has lost their last three games through Sep- tember 19,2002, is an injury to junior setter Natalie Wildes. Wildessuffered a broken thumb before the team lelt for Col- orado to partake in the GUAC- GLVCcrossover two weeks ago. She isn't expected to return until early next month. Until Wildes returns Wolter has decided to go from a 6-2offense to a 5- 1 offense. Senior Leah Dugan is cur- ... rently running the i offense single-hand- edly as the sale set- ter while Wildes is OUI.

Coach Lucian Rosa was impressed by his freshmen as he has been all season long. Lucian commented, "They are progressing very well.They have been improving week to week. This group of freshmen are going to help us all the way through." This coming weekend the women will be traveling to the University of Minnesota for an NCAA II Invite.The men's team will be in action in Beloit,Wis- consin for the Beloit Open. Coffeyhas been inserted in the line-up as the starting Iibero (full time defensive specialist position). Senior Katie Raasch along with Dugan have both been solid as usual.

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document Flie University of 1 ^'isconsin-ParksiJe's Student Newspaper Issue 4 Vol. 33 Oct 24 - Nov 7, 2002 UWP club finding it hard to use the SAC AlexVoskuil Reporter The new addition to the SAC was completed in August of 2000..The addition was built with the primary intent of providing needed space to meet the increasing academic needs of the University as well as added facilities for both the intramural and varsity athletic programs. The addition was also intended for student use with students being invited to use th e facility for open recreation during regular business hours. Outside vendors appeared last on the list of priorities for the building of the SAC addition. "This is a student-first facility," said Athletic Director Williams when asked to comment on the purpose of the addition. The SAC is funded the same way as the Union is funded. It was built with 80% student money and 20% funding from outside sources. Day-to-day operations are funded by segregated fee money, which is money that the SAC receives from the Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee (SUFAC). In addition, the SAC is funded in large part by community memberships and by rent paid by organizations and vendors who use the facility. UWParkside student clubs fall into this category. They are charged rent for use of the facility for any special events they hold in the SAC. These clubs, however, - " v . J The Sports Activity Center addition was finished in August 2000 receive a reduced rate because of their affiliation with the University. Outside memberships are just a part of the SAC's fundraised money, which equals more than two-thirds of the overall annual operating budget. "The purpose of our whole rate system," according to Williams, "is to protect the integrity of the people that are paying for the building.The students, through SUFAC, are paying for the building." Parkside Activities Board (PAB) is currently trying to obtain use of the SAC for its annual Spring 2003 Main Event. In so doing, President Morgan attempted to contact SAC Facilities Director J.R. Reed, but her phone call has gone unanswered. This is not the first time that the PAB ha s experienced difficulties when trying to contact Reed. Last year, then PAB president Lee Riopell experienced the same situation when trying to contact Reed to make arrangements for the Spring 2002 Main Event.

Oct 24 - Nov 7,2002 Page 3 Letter to the editor: PSGA President responds Marco Morrison PSGA President Dear Ranger News I am writing in response to the a rticle that was printed in your last issue entitled, "Problematic PSGA." It is no surprise that PSGA has had its fair share of difficulties in the past four or five years. When I took this position, I knew that it would take time and commitment in order to correct some of the mistakes that have PSGA has made. I will be the first to admit that PSGA in the past has not been an active as it should have been and producI have a vision of restoring the power of student government back into the hands of you, the student. tivity is something that the student body deserves. This year PSGA has held four meetings but only two of them have been declared valid. At our last General Assembly on May 3,2002, Adam Deform was elected temporary Pro- Tempore. It wasn't until our first meeting, which was held September 20, 2002, that I had any contact with him in regards to what would be on the agenda. Ranger News was correct in reporting that Adam was persuaded into making unconstitutional decisions. Throughout the meeting, Adam, repeatedly and knowingly violated the constitution which resulted in me sending numerous appeals to the Judicial Branch. Our second meeting was held on September 27,2002, at this meeting, the Justices Queina Staszewski and Jamie Freeman gave their verdict (which is open to the public) on the appeals, which verified that the actions taken on the September 20th meeting were unconstitutional. Our third meeting was then cancelled in order to get things more organized. Before Friday, October 11, 2002, PSGA had only six senators and no directors. In the we first needed to get students who wanted to see a change involved in student government. past few years, PSGAs membership has dwindled from fifty senators to a mere twentyseven. I feel that twenty-seven senators is not a sufficient number to represent the over five thousand students who attend this university, and contrary to the previous article written, we are making due with what we have. PSGA has for years been plagued by corruption and deceit, and I fel that if were going to get on the right track, we first needed to get students who wanted to see a change involved in student government. Yes.we have had problems getting started Out onlv because of the chaos that has been accumulating over the past years. PSGA has been a problematic organization that many have not wanted to confront. I have a vision of restoring the power of student government back into the hands of you, the student. But I can only do so much as a n individual. It will take a collaborative effort on the part of each individual student and a more proactive approach from the administration to ensure that the old type mistakes do not happen again.

As a result, the PAB ended up holding last year's Main Event on the Union Patio. It rained the day of the event, which forced the event into the Union Square and the Union Bizarre. This facility was too small to accommodate the displays and consequently, the success of the event suffered because of it. Had the PAB been granted use of the SAC facilities, there would have been ample space and the event would not have been compromised by the weather. According to Morgan, the real issue behind the SAC's reluctance to accommodate the PAB began when the addition to the SAC was being built. Morgan had stated that Advisor to the PAB, Stephanie Siravatka- Marshall was asked by Reed to contribute funds toward the purchase of a floor. At the time, he indicated that, if the PAB helped in this way, they would be able to hold their events in the SAC. The reasoning behind the request was that the PABsponsored Main Event attracted such a wide attendance (where people(s) from outside the University attend) that there is increased wear and tear on the floor. PAB's purchase of a floor would be a way to offset some of these costs. The PAB did not respond to this request and were not forthcoming with any funds. Sirovatka-Marshall did not return any e-mails as she is currently on leave from the University. Senior Jamie Freeman has had many conversations with Reed about renting the SAC and he has always found him to be more than willing to accommodate outside vendors, for example, student clubs. "I've spoken to J.R. Reed many times and know him pretty well as far as this issue and I think he is more than willing to grant use of the Athletic Building." According to Freeman, the real issue is whether or not the organization requesting facility use came to Reed in a timely manner and with a well-organized plan. Athletic Director Williams agrees with Freeman's assessment of the situation. "We are very willing to work with any outside club organizations," he stated. "We want to be very student-friendly, but those clubs have to abide by our rules. Clubs must contact the proper people early enough so that both parties have more than enough time to plan things outs correctly" The SAC can be looked at as a business, which caters first and foremost to the needs of the students. However, fundraising money as mentioned earlier, is crucial to the success of this business. As Williams stated," Anytime an event comes in that raises our expenses, it's either going to do one of two things. It's either going to raise the amount of money we have to fundraise extra to pay for that, or it's going to lower it." Any event that is held in the SAC must help lower the fundraised portion of the budget. Many factors play into the expenses that the rental is responsible for besides purchasing space for an event. These expenses can include extra security help, janitorial work after an event, and/or even the excess use of toilet paper, which the SAC is charged for anyway Morgan views this as an issue of sour grapes. She believes that the PAB is being punished for not contributing funds when the new addition was being built. Williams said that clubs were not asked to contribute any funds, although he had not yet arrived as Athletic Director when work was being completed on this project. Reed was asked to comment about this but he declined. The SAC was built for academics and athletics. Outside rentals, including student clubs, play a key part in the overall annual budget of the facility. The Main Event is not until the end of the spring semester. The parties may come to a resolution by that time. Breast Cancer aware Renee Currington Reporter National health organizations seek to promote awareness of breast cancer during October. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) estimates that about 1 in 8 women in the United States (approximately 13.3 percent) will develop. All women are at risk for breast cancer, whether it runs in the family or not (American Cancer Society). Breast cancer does not only affect women: The National Breast Cancer Foundation reports that this year 1,600 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer. It is a good practice for both women and men to perform breast self-exams. The NCI recommends that women aged 40 undergo annual mammograms (x-rays of the breast) to detect any cancer that may be present. Deaths from breast cancer have been reduced by 44% since the mammography program began. (8/1/02 issue of the medical journal CANCER.) It's never too early to take meamonth sures to prevent breast cancer. According to the medical journal The Lancet (Vol. 360: 1044-1049), women who smoke within 5 years of puberty double their chances of getting breast cancer; smoking at any age weakens the immune system's protection against the development of cancer and all other illnesses. Alcohol also raises the possibility of getting breast cancer: Women who consume just one drink per day increase their chances from 1 in 8 to 1 in 7. In addition to abstaining from drinking and smoking, a diet with plenty of calcium and vitamin D from dairy products (such as sour cream, yogurt, and cream cheese) can help prevent breast cancer. The best prevention of breast cancer is regular examinations and mammograms. Many women do not get mammograms because of the cost factor. This is why the American Cancer Society offers an online search for low cost or free mammograms nationwide along with instructions on how to do a BSE at www.cancer.org. It could save your life.

Chesterfield, MO 63006 The Ranger News Oct 24 - Nov 7,2002 Page 5 UW-Parkside student competed for "Miss Wisconsin USA" Title Jackie Pace Reporter One of University of Wisconsin Parkside's very own students represented the city of Kenosha in the "Miss Wisconsin USA" pageant held earlier this month in Madison. LaTarah Turner, a junior here at Parkside majoring in criminal justice and sociology with a minor in education, was crowned "Miss Kenosha USA" earlier this year. The "Miss Wisconsin USA" pageant was the first major pageant that LaTarah has ever competed in, and even though she did not win the title, she says that she does plan on going back to compete next year. Contestants LaTarah Turner in the pageant were judged on the basis of four different areas: a personal interview, bathing suit competition, evening gown competition, and observation of their personalities throughout the weekend. If she were ever to receive the title of "Miss Wisconsin USA", LaTarah says that she would use the role "to promote youth awareness of drugs and gangs and develop programs to keep them away from these things." She hopes to have a career someday where she can work with juvenile delinquents in the community. Besides keeping herself busy with her studies, LaTarah is also involved here on campus as a DJ for Parkside's radio station - WIPZ, and she also manages the girl's basketball team. Punk cinema a hit Joshua Diefenbach Reporter The Sex Pistols, The Ramones, The Clash, Black Flag, and The Germs.These are some of the bands from the late 70's early 80's that may come to mind when you hear the word 'punk". Here at Parkside one class is looking at the elements of this four-lettered word a little more closely The class is called Punk Cinema and is taught by Professor Jay McRoy who has been with the English Department for two years. Punk Cinema is a class which as Professor McRoy put it "Is to provide a forum and to talk about a mode of expression both cinematic, literary, musical, etc. that doesn't get the attention it really deserves." McRoy later went on to say "Because one of the things I'm hoping these films show is that the image that people associate with a term like punk has been mobilized so diversely in cinema" Despite being one credit, this course is taken by approximately forty students showing people are there because they want to be there not because they necessarily need to be there. With so many people attending this course it has brought into question whether or not Punk Cinema should be a full 3-credit course rather than a 1-credit course held once every other week as it is now..The idea of making Punk Cinema a full course might be made possible due to the new Film Studies Certificate.

At this time last season, the women's soccer team found themselves looking up at Northern Kentucky with every other team in the GLVC (Great Lakes Valley Conference) taking a back seat. This season is no different. Only two games remain in the GLVC for Parkside (9-1-1 overall). Again, they find themselves sitting in second place to Northern Kentucky with every other team looking up. A victory against Southern Indiana last Sunday, October 20, 2002, kept the Rangers (6-1-1 in GLVC) in sole possession of second place in the conference. The Rangers held the Screaming Eagles scoreless in the game winning 2-0. This is their shutout in a row after giving up two goals in a loss to Northern Kentucky on October 6, 2002. The victory gives them nine shutouts in eleven games overall.Sophomore goalie Abbigale Wild, sophomore Stephanie Strauss and freshmen Lisa Gorski, all had big games defensively for the Rangers against Southern Indiana. Head Coach Troy Fabiano credits the defense for the victory as he said the offense was a little flat on the field.

The Ranger men were paced by Cal Kromm who finished 26th UW-P series of player profiles: cross country runner JannaWeeden Alex Voskuil Sports Editor Senior Janna Weeden has been running competitively since the seventh grade. However, she didn't lace up her shoes for cross-country until her introduction to the sport at the start of her collegiate career. In grade school and throughout high school, Janna participated solely in track and field."When I was in elementary school we always had this one little track meet every year with the other elementary school where I gr ew up," said Weeden. Both schools shared the same Physical Education Teacher, who orchestrated the annual Meet. The event proved to be a formidable rivalry between the two grade schools in Richland Center, Wl. Richland Center, Weeden's hometown, is located 60 miles West of Madison. Her transition from track to cross country has been eased due to her own dedication in adjusting to the sport. She also contributes her success to women's cross country coach Mike DeWitt. The events that Weeden participated in high school, including the 800 meter race and the 3200K, helped prepare her for competition on the collegiate level in this sport as well. Janna Weeden In each cross country meet, there are five players who count as scorers and two players who serve as blockers. A scorer is one who counts in the overall team's results. Blockers simply push other team's runners back a notch by finishing ahead of them. Weeden has been a scorer in each of the meets so far this season even as she battles through a severe hamstring strain,The injury has bothered her off and on since her freshmen year. "Being a scorer is an accomplishment because I didn't know if I would be ever be a scorer again," commented Weeden on the injury Weeden is planning on graduating in December 2003. She is currently working on a major in Biology and an Environmental Science minor. After college she plans on continuing her education by obtaining a Teaching Certificate to one day teach sciences at the high school level. She is looking to stay within the UW-System to obtain this degree. In her three plus years at UW-Parkside, Weeden has received Academic All-American honors for her sophomore and junior years. Freshmen are ineligible to receive such an award. Recipients must be fulltime students and maintain a 3.25 cumulative GPA for the award. They must also finish in the top 40 of the Regional Conference Championship meets for Cross Country. Weeden has also appeared on the Dean's List twice, which requires a 3.5GPA per semester. Weeden is currently preparing for the championship, which will get underway this weekend.The event is the Great Lakes Valley Championship. It is a home event scheduled for Saturday, October, 26, 2002. The men's cross country team will also be in action this Saturday as they begin the Championship portion of the schedule as well. in a time of 26:19 Girls & Sports by: Justin Borus and Andrew Feinstein for the 8K course. A total of 298 runners finished the women's race, while the men's edition had 317 runners.

University Clubs Page 12 Oct 24 - Nov 7,2002 The Ranger News UW-Parkside Aikido promotes nonviolent conflict resolution Rebecca Rydzenski Reporter Amber Smith Editor-in-Chief Interview Editor-in- Bridgette Schaefer I want to share a little information about some very special students at Parkside. They are the ones giving more than the average student and in turn reaping more rewards. In this issue I will get up and personal with the Ranger News' Editor in Chief, Amber Smith. Amber has been attending UW Parkside for three years now. She is majoring in English and is in her second semester as Editor of The Ranger News. Amber decided to join to the paper to utilize her strengths and as a way to get out of the restaurant industry. The Ranger News also provides Amber an opportunity to use her intellect more than she had previously done. In addition, Amber can use her experience with the newspaper as an internship. Amber enjoys reading in her spare time. If she could do anything it would be to own a rare bookstore. Amber has gained a lot from being a part of The Ranger News. She has If you are looking for an exciting club which provides a non-violent approach to conflict and is beneficial in both an L McDonald aerobic and SPiri,Ual ^P001' Parkside Aikido is the right choice.

Aikido club about two years ago. They believed that the Parkside students would embrace Aikido's philosophies and pass them on, and what a response they received! Currently, there are about thirty students who attend the practices and much, much more on the mailing list. As a member of Parkside Aikido, you would not need to practice on the mat if you did not want to. That is not necessarily the goal of this club. This club promotes activities that foster alternatives to violence in personal and public life. "Parkside Aikido's main goal is to pass along the teachings, philosophies, and spirit of Aikido as taught by the founder," says Jamey Johnston, a member of the Parkside Aikido. "We don't fight against another person; we take their energy/momentum of attack and bring it to the ground." Dr. Leppington, when asked what this club's main goal is, answered, "For the practice of Aikido, to foster public awareness of non-violent responses to conflict, from domestic abuse to international terrorism." The benefits of studying and practicing Aikido are plentiful. If you checkout Parkside Aikido's website, which can be found at http://uwp.edu/~leppingt/ parksideaikido, you'll be able to find a list of aspects of this unique martial art that instructor Rock Lazo believes are beneficial. They include increased flexibility, strength and balance, exposure to the culture of traditional, yet progressive martial arts, ethical selfdefense, stress management, development of 'KI' (internal energy,) a regimen of ongoing, scheduled workouts and aerobic fitness, spiritual exploration and growth, and participation in a non-violent, non-competitive martial art. As you can plainly see, Aikido's peace action initiatives create a philosophy that one can use in every day life. The University of Wisconsin's Aikido club is a part of the Mid-western State Aikido Federation. Every year, this group holds a summer camp here at the school. Meeting times are 7- 8pm, Mondays and Wednesdays at the Sports and Activity Center. Other activities concerning non-violent approaches to conflict, like discussion forums and educational outreaches, will be arranged by the members at the general club meetings and announced on the email list. Classes are structured so that you can jump in at any time. Each member practices at a level and pace that is best fitting with their stage of experience. For more information, contact the Parkside Aikido club by emailing them at parksideaikido@ uwp.edu. Parkside Aikido carries healthy philosophies, and members use them in their everyday life. Picture it: when faced with a violent situation, you will be skilled in ways to neutralize the confrontation, be it a physical or not. When you are looking for a club that will be beneficial to you for the rest of your life, check out Parkside Aikido; it is definitely the way to go.

He had experienced runners to help balance the youth on the squad. He had his five runners who could be counted on as "scorers" for the team. He had an abundance of freshmen that he could bring along slowly as they develop themselves for years to come. However, the reality then is not the reality now as Rosa's team prepares for Regionals. Injuries that have plagued the team this year have since forced Rosa to go with a younger team. Not just once or twice, but for every meet this ; season. He has seen positive ~_. results in a sport that is extreme- ly demanding to newcomers at the collegiate level. "Coming from high school, from 5K to 10K is tough," said Rosa. "You have to get to know the freshmen who can handle the bigger load and those who can not handle the mileage:' This season Rosa has seen a number of freshmen come into their own and produce immedi- ately for the team. fn the GLVC (Great Lakes Valley) Championships held at Parkside on October 26, 2002, the men finished fifth out of eight teams. They accumulated 129 points as a team. Lewis Uni- versity won the tournament in the men's event totaling 42 points. Sophomore Cal Kromm paced Parkside's squad as he finished 11th out of 89 runners. His time in the 10K event was 33:18. Taking second place for Parkside was frosh standout Jason Matousek with a time of 33:35. Both Kromm and Matousek have been consistent all season long for the team. Together, they have both scored in each of the seven meets that they appeared in this season. Completing the top five for the men's squad in the confer- ence tournament were fresh- men Paul Gutmann, Tom Obe- nauf and Leo Colwill. They fin- ished 27,33,39 overall. Regionals is next on the schedule for the men's squad. Five of eight runners who will be traveling with the team are freshmen.

This year Stevens has beat- en nearly 97% of the runners she has competed against. "The rest of the top five can race with her [Stevens] in sight and that makes us a good team this year;' said DeWitt. In 2001 the Rangers won the conference tournament hosted by Bellarmine in Louisville, KY 2000's conference tournament was held on Southern Indiana's campus in Evansville, IN. The GLVCTournament victo- ry continues a strong tradition of success in Women's Cross Country at Parkside. In the short 23 year history of Parkside Ath- letics the sport has accumulat- ed two National Titles. The first title came in 1980 when Park- side was a member of the NAIA (National Association of Inter- collegiate Athletics). According to DeWitt, this was the first National Title ever awarded to women in any sport by the organization. Their second National Title came in 1986. Twenty-three different women have also received All Ameri- can honors in Women's Cross Country for Parkside. Many for- mer NAIA schools, including Parkside, have since moved to the NCAADivision Two. DeWitt can be credited with some of his team's success throughout the past two decades. This is his twenty-sec- ond season as head coach of the Women's Cross Country Team. During his time at Park- side, coach DeWitt has been privileged to have lead some of his athletes to the Olympics. It was there where these athletes have seen some of their per- sonal best times. He also cred- its some of his team'ssuccess to talking about the tradition of Women's Cross Country at this university."It gives them a little boost, perhaps," said DeWitt. Part of DeWitt's philosophy on coaching is letting athletes develop at their own pace."] am pretty patient with kids and by that I mean if someone isn't ready to race well this year or next, we'll do what we can to get them ready for their 3-4-Sth talking about Coffey's role on the team. Seniors Leah Dugan, Katie Raasch and Nichole Gruber have been solid once again this season. "They are starting to understand what it takes to win, both physically and mentally," said Wolter of her seniors. The Rangers look to wind up the regular season this week- end. A victory against Quincy on Friday will give the Rangers the fifth seed in the conference tournament. Their opponent then will be SIU-Edwardsville who currently holds the fourth slot in the conference tourna- ment. Parkside has faced SIU- Edwardsville once this season losing 3-D. (7-6,23-10) are within over last year. "We're doing striking distance of much better statistically, basi- the fifth seed.

Those who watched his second perlormance were given the opportunity to learn American Indian sign language. Lateron, he performed a highly ener- getic Native American hoop dance. Then he invited specta- tors to join in, as he demon- strated the significance of each part of the dance. There are more Native American celebration events to come during the month of November (co-sponsored by the OMSAand Sacred Circle): Educator Kevin Locke (Tokeya Inajin), of the Hunkpa- pa Lakota tribe came to UW- Parkside on November I, to sing, play music, dance, and speak of his Native American philosophy, much of which is based in the Baha'i faith (which originated from Islam). His goal is to "raise awareness of the Oneness we share as human beings". . Locke grew up on the Stand- ing Rock Reservation in South Dakota. His tribe consists of about 100,000 members. During his third year of college at the reservation, he joined the Teacher Corps, an organization that encourages educators to teach in areas of great need. He spoke of his desire to reach out to the youth in these areas, and to help them find their "path" in life. He has won several Native America music awards for his singing, dancing, and flute per- formances.

Jackie Pace Reporter It may not seem unusual to seekassistance from your pro- fessors and instructors when preparing for your post-gradua- tion plans. You might ask them to write a glowing letter of rec- ommendation to help pave the wayfor potential job interviews, or even admission into one of the country's top graduate schools. Once you leave col- lege,you might think that you do not need to remember these people who have filled your mind with knowledge. Howev- er,those bridges that you estab- lish through getting to know your professors and instructors over the years you spend here at Parkside, might prove to' be useful someday. You never know when you will need them to serve as a phone-a-friend life- line on the "Who wants to be a Millionaire" game show, to help youwin some cash. Joe Kane,a UW-Parksidealumni who gradu- ated in 1996 with an English major and history minor along with teacher certification in both subjects, chose to use his former professors in this way Whenhe recently won an undis- closedamount of money on the syndicated game show now hosted by Meredith Vieira, who replaced former host Regis Philbin. Kane, who presently teaches reading at Jerstad-Ager- holm Middle School in Racine, described his educational on the Inside Joe Kane, UWP alumni experience at UW-Parkside as being extremely valuable and rewarding saying,"] had a great group of professors many of who are still there, who made a huge impact on my life." In fact, Kane who was awarded schol- arships while he was a student here, has been giving back to the university by providing scholarship money for English students over the past several years. He hopes to continue this scholarship fund and possi- bly even increase it a little with some of the money he won from the millionaire show. Joe, who describes himself as being pretty good at trivia, heard about tryouts being held in Chicago while watching the Chicago local news on channel 2 one day this past summer. After making arrangements to go down to the hotel where try- outs were being held on July 11th , he waited two hours in line before he was let in to take the thirty-question multiple- choice test. This test, in which people are given twelve min- utes to answer the thirty ques- tions, replaced the former sys- tem of dialing-in and answering questions over the phone. Joe described the test as being "very difficult," and says he felt absolutely sure that he would not qualify To his shock and amazement, he found' out right away when they scored the test 'there that he had indeed quali- fied as a contestant. Next, on September 12th, he received a phone message from the game show telling him that arrange- ments had been made for him to appear as a con- testant on the show. On Septem- ber 30th, he was flown out to New York on "a nice little jet wit h leather seats,"where they had someone waiting at the airport to pick him up and drive him to the Lucerne Hotel where he stayed for three nights. The hotel, which he described as being "fancy with marble bathrooms and real art on the walls," was something that he says "a schooJ-teacher [like himself] probably couldn't afford." With Thankful for the obscure Page: 3 the plane ticket to New York and back home to Wisconsin along with hotel lodging; and $200 spending cash, which were all provided for him by the millionaire game show, Joe said "Even if I didn't win any money, I felt like I'd already won:' Although he cannot reveal just how much money he won on the game show, due to his signing a lot of legal papers and disclosure agreements say- ing that he would not reveal his winnings or any of the ques- tions he was asked since the show has not aired on televi- sion yet, Kane did say, "I vas thrilled with the outcome of it, especially when I'd seen how they were bragging about hard the questions were 'on the new syndicated /ersion J :' He was so thrilled in fact, that after the taping of the show was over, he went out and celebrated his win- nings by himself at ~ one of the steak d houses in Manhat- tan.splurging $70 on some champagne and "the biggest lob- ster dinner in New York City," Kane said that the person who . played the game after he did also won the same amount of money, but was very bummed out that he had only won that particular amount. Kane said that it all depends on your perspective,"1 didn't make a fool out of myself, I got this trip, and I won some money."

UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document The The University of Wiscollsin.lPartsiJe's Student Newspaper ;ue aVol. 33 Jan 30 - Feb 13,2003 - Students booted out of Ivory Tower Amber Smith Editor-in-Chief TheAcademic Actions Com- mittee, the committee one goes toafter being put on academic probation or upon being expelled,has been asked to find anew meeting place. The com- mittee had been holding their lourmeetings a year in the Gal- braithroom located in the area adjacent to Chancellor Jack Keating's office. Professor Laura Gellot, for- mer chair of the Academic Actions Committee, had moved to conduct the meetings in the Galbraith Room in the mid- I980s. Before that time the meeting were held in various classrooms around campus. Thiswas unsuitable as it did not t offerthe students enough priva- cy,therewas no access to a tele- phone, the students often were I not sure of where to go and uponarriving had only the floor as a place to wait for their meet- ing.At the time the committee felt that the area around the Chancellor's office put the due seriousness to the meeting that wasgoing to be held. The Galbraith room seemed to answer all the problems that the committee had been deal- ing with. It offered a waiting area,a telephone, privacy and even a separate room that the student would be taken to so thathe or she would be able to I hearthe verdict of the commit- tee'svote in a private location. By conducting the meetings in on the Inside ( the Galbraith Room the com- mittee would not have to find a new location upon every meet- ing. The Academic Actions Com- mittee held their latest meeting in a room in Tallent Hall. Curtis Bickman who is an advisory member of the committee stat- ed that this did not work well as the students received little or no privacy. Bickman also stated that the impression he got for the move was that there were "too many people up t.iere" and the stu- dents "were too much of a distraction". Alan Crist, assistant Vice-Chancellor of Enrollment Manage- ment, stated that "the students were not being a problem" and the move was for privacy issues only. Crist stated that the move was so the stu- dents would have a more pri- vate place to meet as on occa- sion students would need to pass through his office to attend their meetings. When told of the most recent meeting be held in a non private area he explained that he was unaware of the problem, but the committee would "need to continue to look for a better location." Currently the academic Actions Committee will try holding their meeting in a room located in the Union. Highlighted by the arrow is the area where the Academic Actions Commit- tee was meeting. I ~ I ( Police Beat and Classifieds Page: 4 A new beginning for BSU Page: 2 UW-Rangers win on "Hawaiian Night" Page 2 Jan 30- Feb 13, 2003 The Ranger News A New Beginning for BSU Skyla Roper On December 6, 2002 Park- side's Black Student Union cel- ebrated their first annual "Cele- bration 01 Family Banquet." Along with this banquet BSU does many other things that sometimes go unrecognized. This particular event deserved some type of recognition, so at the request of Dannie Moore the current BSU president, I decided to write this article. The idea of this banquet is credited to Rufus Manuel, the former BSU president. In the attempt to make the image of Parkside's BSU more appealing and positive this was more than a good idea. The main focus of this ban- quet was just as it states,to cel- ebrate family as a family. Even though this event was spon- sored and held by BSU it was open to all students who attend Parkside. This banquet was a time for students to appreciate those that are important to them, and that have been an influence in their lives in some way. This was a very emotional event for some of us. The stu- dent presentations to their fam- ilies were very sincere and touching. There were also two special presentations to Curtis Bickman and Damian Evans, which are the current advisors of BSU. These two individuals have put and continue to put their hearts into BSUand they strive to see BSU as a positive and beneficial organization to the students at Parkside. Despite the negative image BSU has recently held Mr. Moore has assured us that BSU is on the rise to becom- ing the dynamic organization that it once was. As a dedicated member of this organization I can say a lot for the commitment of our president, and executive board, and the help of com- mittee chairs and the general assembly asweill can see this change taking place. Look forward to seeing BSU do great things and getting the once good name back out there. Thanks to all who sup- port this organization and I hope that you will continue to support usin all our programs and events.

There are two rea- sons why I wanted to teach martial arts. The first reason is because I noticed a dramatic increase in sexual assault and sexual harassment on our cam- pus. I can recall reading from the Ranger, that one girl was attacked from someone hiding in the bushes. This caused much disbelief about the safety on our cam- . pus and the awareness of our students. The second reason Why I'm teaching is because I don't like the way martial arts is being taught today. Many situ- ations can be avoided with the proper knowl- edge. A large number of instructors today are only focused on recruit- ing many students to Her is offering a defense class. make money.

Especially now, during this time of Islamic militancy and terrorism. I would never' advocate for the sake of war, however, force can beused as a powerful too to evoke neces- sary change for a greater good. As Americans, we of all people should realize this. Our own democracy was established on the principles of fighting for freedom. We as a country have fought many just wars, not just for ourselves, but also for others who could not defend them- selves. It is in this rational that I pose this question: Why should we as Americans, not Mexican Amencan, not African Ameri- can - Just Americans, of one country - why should we believe that Iraq is any different than any other terrorist regime? For you who claim that he is no threat, lest we forget that is was this very regime who brutally murdered an entire town popu- lation of his own people - Iraqi Kurds? I recall the horrifying pictures of innocent women and children; some on their way to school - bodies scattered and piled everywhere. A tear fell my eye when I saw those pictures, and I will never forget that this regime needs to be brought to justice. On Friday, January 24 2003 - Saddarn's own son condemned our coun- try, and dared to mock our tragedy of September 11, a day when evil Muslim terrorists cowardly attacked defenseless men, women and children. I then ask you this: Should it not be our responsibility to liberate the Iraqi people from the tyran- ny of their own murderous regime, and allow a new, secu- lar, democratic Iraq to prosper? Semper Fi, I say."Always Faithful" - this is the motto of America's heroes, the U.S.armed forces. As a Christian, I object to a war as much I object to those Muslims who would call us (Americans, Jews, Christians, and Muslim allies) 'infidels: Obviously, they are the true infidels. We have Muslim allies planting seeds of moderation all over the world, such as Dr., Satir Abdullah - imprisoned and condemned in the Iranian regime for calling Muslim extremist clerics "crazed," or many others just like the good doctor who would stand up against those who would enslave their own follow- ers.ln the end, we must all make a harsh judgment within our- selves. We all wish and pray for peace, but peace comes at a price. The dilemma is inevitable; "Are we willing to pay the price so that our r-----:::~~;;;;;=;::::---------------, ~:::::~ m~~ =====.1> ..s33-921O' .WWW.fo.gal).edU·· oganaclltl@logan.8du _l~-ftd:,~,MO 63Q06:: Letter to the Editor It is not usual for me to respond to something that I see is not right I usually just ignore the entire issue, until this year that is.

All who attended the night were entertained, and with enough student support, the PAB hopes to be able to bring Casino Night back next year. Casino Night Henry Gaskins Reporter The second annual Casino Night at UW-Parkside was held on Jan. 30, 2003 at Union Square. The event was orga- nized by the Parkside Activities Board (PAB). • There were poker and black- jack tables, but the table that had the most attention and . excitement was the dice-game craps. It seemed some people did not know how to play most of the games, but professional dealers were supplied from Mil- waukee's Casino Party Special- ists at each table to help every- one understand them. None of the students lost money. As they entered the casi- no area they were presented a cou pon good for 500 tokens. The more tokens each student ended up with, the more raffle tickets they could receive when they cashed-in at the e\!d of the night. Prizes were plentiful. Stu- dents won stereo systems, tele- vision sets, DVD players, microwaves and small refriger- ators. One lucky student ended up with a framed picture of Brittney Spears.All of the prizes were supplied by the PAB. There were other activities during Casino Night as well, Students enjoy a friendly game of Blackjack. Jamarr Swanks shakes the dice before his roll on craps. Lakosha Hamilton gets her free character sketch. Jerome Garrett wins a three-CD Stereo System after doing well on the card tables all night. "Ifthis is a place you'd like to be, go ahead and sign on me!" Katie Pruessing (PHE) sexual partners. Everyday there was a different color marker that students could sign with. Each color in theory could repre- sent one of the 20 sexually transmit- ted diseases that exist today. The later in the week someone signed the bed, the greater the risk they had of contracting a dis- ease. A sign with these words sat strategically next to a bed this past week in main place. This bed was part of a pro- gram planned by the Peer Health Educators called Love Carefully. The sign was not meant to trick anyone but instead to prove a point about how careless some individuals are with their Passer by Kim Meyer poses for the camera. The question the Peer Health Educators are posing to you is: How well do you know your sexual partner? All too often people don't realize that when you sleep with someone you are not only sleeping with them but everyone whom they have slept with and everyone who their partners have slept with. Now that could go on for- ever. It was actually calculated that if you slept with two people in a year and they each slept with two people, etc., you would have slept with 512 people that year. As Peer Health Educators and fellow students we encour age you to get to know you' partner and to be safe. You cap, not always tell if someone has a disease and in some cases you are gambling with your life. Before you jump into bed with someone make sure that you know who else is along for the ride.

Our new staff is chock-full of fresh ideas to help make the Ranger News both more appealing and a better informant to the students of UW-Parkside. In attempts to help give your beginning-of-the-semester optimism an extra boost that wilJ hopefully propel it into at least the second week of school, I've put together a list of a few tips that will at some point in the semester be of use to you. ■ Always "buddy up' with at least one person (preferably more than one) in your classes so they can catch the slack for you when you're "sick" and help you out with assignments.

If it is, remember that it's never as bad as it will be if you don't go back to class ASAP. Your professors aren't demons and will onJy say what you know you probably need to hear when you finally return to class from your mini-vacation. There's almost always a chance to at least get a passing grade. ■ A tip I wished I would have known when I came to Parkside was that you need your Ranger Card to print in the computer labs and that it's not just click print and go.

Chancellor Keating has an impressive list of academic accomplishments beginning with a BAin Classics/Philosophy and an MAin Philosophy from Gonzaga University. He also has an M.S. in Theology from the University of Santa Clara and a M.S. and a Ph.D, in Social' Psychology from Ohio State University. The Chancellor was a Professor of Psychology at the University of Washington in Seattle for twenty-two years. There, he served as dean for another four years and started two new campuses. From Seattle, Keating moved to Fairbanks, Alaska where he was Provost at the University of Alaska for four years. He was then approached for the position of Chancellor at UW-Parkside, which he said he had always known had a strong university system. Chancellor Keating says he has always felt very welcome at the university, and from the beginning, he and the staff have had a nice working relationship. "The biggest reason that I went to high school was to play baseball!" Upon his arrival, the Board of Regents had two mandates for the Chancellor. The first mandate was to increase enrollment at the university, and the second to build and improve local community relations with the campus. Enriching the campus community and the mandates are the Chancellor's top priorities. Although the state of Wisconsin has made cuts in the UW system's budget. Keating said, "This will make the university become even closer.' Keating stated, "My dominant goal is to build coalitions with the local community, and I feel there is a warm and growing relationship in place." The Chancellor intends to improve the relationship with the local community by following the UW-Parkside's mission statement and by continuing to serve the region. In addition, a strong cultural tie is nurtured between the community and UW-Parkside with programs like Arts: Alive, the Foreign Film Series, drama productions, athletic events, and Parkside's new fieldhouse, which has been extensively used for events like , the NCAA Fencing Championships andDivision II NCAA Wrestling Championships. The enrollment at UW-Parkside is expected to grow slightly this year, despite increases in tuition. The increase in tuition will partially offset the budget cuts, which are the largest cuts in thirty years. Keating said the budget cuts were a big surprise to him. "We are not the only state facing reductions. Some states have had cuts of twenty-five percent." Uw-Parkside has had to cut back Keating in some areas, but the Chancellor's message to students is to not be overwhelmed by the budget cuts. He expressed his concern saying, "The major cuts are at the administrative level, and everything possible is being done to save areas like science and business." It will be tougher getting things done through administration," stated Keating, "These are not the times of old when the state would pick up the cost. We need to be creative and rhink of different .ways to do things, and work together. " Despite the obsta des UWParkside will face in the future Keating expresses, "We are a campus of access. UW-Parkside will give all of its students a chance to succeed and our focus is on the quality of our graduates." The Chancellor also encourages students to join dubs and to attend lectures and athletic events because ft College is not just an academic experience, but a sodal one, too." He pointed out that students in high school tend to spend a majority of their time with peopIe like themselves, whereas in college students will have the chance to meet more diverse people. "Going to lectures and cultural events rounds out our students' education," said Keating, "Many of the dubs and organizations are connected to the majors offered by the college. Writing for the Ranger News is very connected to an aspiring writer's future goals." The Chancellor continued to say, "working for an organization is almost as important as your education because students have to gain social experience for.the future. Our students are very engaged and some cannot partidpate in activities because they have to work so hard on their degrees and to pay for their education. " As the interview came to a close, Chancellor Keating responded to one last tough question. "So, what is one thing that nobody at UW·Parkside knows about you?" With a grin, Keating replied, "The biggest reason that I went to high school was to play baseball I" .,.... ----, INVOLVEMENT FAIR Web-~b-"YI gept.10 10;30,,)11.-1 ;3ol:J)I1.

An increase of at least $250 per semester was approved this past summer after a $110 million systemwide cut. The new budget requires Parkside to eliminate 15 jobs within two years. . The good news is state statutes require finandal aid to increase as tuition increases and there are no plans for an - admission freeze or class reduction because of the budget situation. ,If yo~ ar~ thinking of applying for financial aid. it is a good idea to start early. the financial aid office will be very busy trying 10 keep up with the increase in applicants. -RNin the IOJ's IS-year history.

Once again, bigbudget flicks were released, each with its own well-oiled hype machine, and each a major disappointment, with one exception. In mid-May, the Wachowski brothers rebooted "The Matrix" generation with the release of The Matrix:Reloaded. This film may have been the most highly anticipated sequel in the history of dnerna. and although it was enjoyable, no film can deliver after such a build-up. Like most fans, was dazzled by the incredible flight sequences and special effects. While the visuals were impressive, it was as though the Wachowski brothers were jumping on their own "Now-Iook-atwhat- we-can-do-with-a-cameraand- computer." bandwagon. As for dialogue, Iwished I had a copy of the script when the plotrevealing dialogue became ... well, too plot-revealing. Overall, the film did not deliver as promised, but it was mildly entertaining. Early June brought 2 Fast 2 Furious, a sequel to the 2001 car show, The Fast and the Furious. With its tricked -out cars and impressive stunt driving, this latest installment was more of tbe same. This franchise has a number of evil MTV qualities to it, but none worse than its affect on our vehicular culture. Just between you and me, what is the longest you have gone without seeing a spoiler inappropriately projecting off the back end of a Geo? Not long, I reckon. June 27 saw the release of Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle. For the sake of brevity, this film can best be described as a twohour male fantasy program. Two thumbs up! Way, way up! A week later, the highly anticipated Terminator 3 hit theaters in Brendan Gleeson, Cillian Murphy and Naomie Harris in Fox Searchlight's 28 Days Later, 2003 all its franchise poisoning glory. The movie reminded me a lot of the recent Guns & Roses revival. Sure, the old front man is back (and 1 do stress old), and sure, they have got classic material to work from, but as a whole the fJIm just screams, or rather, it wheezes, "Do something else Arnold. Try politics. " The dog days of summer film watching was not all bad, though. Enter 28 Days Later, my favorite summer film. Made for a meager 8 million dollars, 28 Days Later features some of the most eerie and suspenseful film making you will see this year. In a Twilight Zone-esque opening, Jim, Ihe bike courier, wakes up from' a coma in a deserted London hospital completely oblivious to the fact a highly contagious virus, which causes anyone infected to go into a homicidal rage, has essentially wiped out all humanity. A graphic, flesh-eating buffet ensues. Honorable mention goes to the films Hulk and X2. While neither film is perfect, both at least make a decent attempt at plot and dialogue rather than simply throwing kung fu at us. This summer's blockbusters are mostly mindless entertainment, but sometimes that is all you need to kill a good afternoon. It is difficult to say why these films are so bad, but audiences may have noticed nearly all of the aforementioned films are sequels, leaving the impression that Hollywood is out of original ideas. Yet, there is hope for all the lame blockbuster films of this summer and the past. Any Mystery Science Theater fan knows that bad films become great with a little commentary, and are, more often than not, much more fun to watch that way. -RNYOUR AD HERE!

La -7 The Ranger News SEPTEMBER 2, 2003 Dear Emily ... BY EMILY WOOD ADVICE COLUMNIST RANGER NEWS Dear Emily, "I am a new student here at uw-Parkside. and 1 want to know what to do if! should get off to a poor academic start?" Signed,New & Nervous Dear New & Nervous: It is better that you have asked now instead of waiting until you really do need help. You could pay me to do your homework, but since you cannot afford me, you should talk to your academic advisor. Make sure he or she knows you are a 'newble. ~ so you can plan a course schedule that best fits you. Freshmen, transfer. and non-traditional students sometimes have a hard time adjusting to the rigorous academics of UW-Parkside. If you are having trouble in the classesyou are currently in, check out the Learning Assistance Center at Wyllie D175 or the Tutoring Center at Wyllie DI8D to see how they can assist you. Dear Emily, "I just started reading more lately, and I want to know if you can recommend any good books?" Signed, Loving that literature Dear Loving That Literature: You probably have enough books from your classes, right? First and foremost, those are the books that should be at the top of your reading list, but if you are still looking for something else, I would recommend asking your academic advisor if there is a "recommended reading" list for your major. These lists include fiction as well as nonfiction books, and reading them can really help you out in future courses or exams. You could also ask any of the professors in the English department what he or she would recommend. If all else fails, go with Toni Morrison; she ADVICE is a great writer whose worts you may soon be revisiting in future courses. Dear Emily, '1am an eighteen-year old female student at UW-Parkside and recently broke up with my boyfriend. I want to know if I should consider trying dating services because I do not like meeting guys in bars or nightclubs. What do you think?" Signed, Don't want a Dud Dear Don't want a Dud: Have you ever watched "Elimidate," "BlindDate," or "The 5th Wheel"? Dating services are just as cheesy as those reality television dating shows. You are not that desperate. The people who are in real relationships probably did not meet their partner in a bar. Check out the eligible men in your classes, get involved in a club or student organization, or come to any of the events held at UW-Parkside. There you can meet new people who have similar interests as you, without the drunkenness! Dear Emily, "I am a non-traditional student, and 1want to know if 1will fit in here at UW"Parkside? What could I do to feel more traditional?" Signed, Non-Traditional Student Dear Non-Traditional Student: The first step to fitting in at UWParkside is to be yourself. It may sound too wholesome and simple, but the only way you will be able to enjoy your college experience is to make it your own. Besides, this campus is wellknown for its large number of "non-traditional students" because UW-Parkside offers so many services, support, and " the only way you will be able to enjoy your college experience is to make it your own." accommodations for returning or non-traditional students. You will fit right in. Get involved in student clubs or organizations. A good start might be the Parkside Adult Student Alliance (PASA), which meets every Wednesday, at noon, in Molinaro D127. fl<t4t a. 1ItIte ••• Advice Column Disclaimer The opinions expressed here are solely for entertainment purposes.

While the city of Racine has had cable television for over thirty years, public access to cable television has been nonexistent. Racine's cable service, TIme Warner, has produced local programming, which includes city parades and the highschool prom. Outside of Time Warner's limited programming, there is another world few people in Racine know about, full of unlimited programming ideas and public access to a cable channel, but there is much debate about whether this world will ever become a reality for Racine. Public access cable television is a television facility open to the public, in which, an average citizen may use equipment and produce his own television program free of charge, and then, view it on a cable channel. This concept is currently taking place in cities, towns. and villages around the state including Sun Prairie, West Allis, and Kenosha. Public access cable television could potentially provide an alternative to Milwaukee-based news programming by having news programming which is locally orientated. As the city of Milwaukee has grown, Milwaukee news programs have, delegated less on-air time to Racine area news. Racine residents are then forced to get local news from the radio or The Radne Journal Times. Programming on public access cable television could allow for an opportunity to "show-oft: Racine in its best light to prospective businesses and manufacturers. possibly bringing jobs to Racine. Those interested in the First Amendment, particularly the part about free speech, could use public access cable television as a means to voice their opinions. Around the country, it is common for citizens to use public access television to voice their politicai messages because the costs of advertising associated The Ran er News OPINION service and the city has built -in funding for public access television via the franchise lee tax. Racine has neglected to do this, but it seems the most viable way. ~ • Everyone in the state of Wisconsin is well aware of the state's budget woes. Racine's elected offidals are searching out new ways to pay for all the services the city provides without increasing taxes. Brown said, "The franchise fee has always gone into a general fund which supplies money for the general operation of the city. There has been a select group of people, a few aldermen and some others, who feel the city needs public access television, but ejected officials have not seen a public outcry for public access cable televiston.' Because there appears to be no public outcry for the service, the franchise fees collected have been diverted by the City Council to areas which appear to have more critical need. Mullen believes there is a problem with this scenario. She says, •Joe Johnson does not buy cable service so he is not paying the franchise fee. John • Smith does buy cable service so he is paying the franchise fee. If the franchise fee John Smith pays does not go towards public access cable service, but instead, the franchise fee is diverted to other dty services (as is the case now) because the City Council needs the money to go towards these services and doesn't want to raise taxes to do it, John Smith Racine awaits public access cable television. .. pays more towards city service vote.

Public access television could also be used to make public announcements or cover local events. Other public access television stations have citizens who have produced programming about cooking, local sports events, city tours, and children's programming. The Racine Cable Commission is an advocate for public access cable television in Racine. Serving in an advisory capacity to the mayor of Racine, Gary Becker, and the City Council, the Cable Commission's other purpose is to serve the public's best interest where public access cable television is concerned. The commfssion is an appointed body comprised of dtizens who think the time has come for public access cable television in the city of Racine. Alderman Michael Shields of the 3rd District, who chairs the Cable Commission, says, "I'm 300% in support of Racine having public access cable television. Racine is an "All American City" and needs to come out of the 1800's." According to Megan Mullen, a member of the Cable Commission and an Associate Professor in the Communication department at Uw-Parkslde, Racine residents would not have to pay extra for the privilege of having public access cable television because subscribers of cable television are already footing the bill .. Mullen says, "The Cable Commission believes the franchise fee tax collected by Time Warner is supposed to provide the funding for public access cable television. " The franchise fee is a local tax negotiated by the City Council, its lawyers. and Time Warner that is paid by cable subscribers. According to David Brown, the Interim Finance Director for the city of Racine, "In the year 2002, the city of Racine has collected $608,941.06 for franchise fees from Time Warner." Yet, until this year, there has been no funding provided for public access to the cable network. Alderman Shields explained why Racine had not given funds for this service, "In many places, the contract negotiated between the cable • Available in 6 great flavors: Berrv Blitz Berrv Banana Tropical Madness Colada Cooler Peach Passion Citrus Berrv Breeze Checkout the ReJUICEnation Station at the Wyllie Market open Mon-Thurs 7:45am-lOpm I Fri 7:45-2pm, 4-7pm I Sat-Sun 4-7pm Sponsored by Dining Service =11 'l'C1ianger ~I!e!w!!s----------~III". - Campus PoliceQ&A Beginningthe fall 2003semester, studentsandfaculty canaskthe UW-ParksidCeampusPolicedepartment questions concerning campus safety andserurity via the Ranger News.OfficerKelly Peroutkawill be answeringyour questions.Simply writedownyour questionand drop itoffattheRangerNewsofficelocated atWyllieHaILD137,duringbusiness hours or place your questions in the bin on the Ranger Ne'WS office door.TheRangerNewsis including this new feature with the Police Beat column, andcampuspoliceare hopefulthis featurewill improve UW-Parkside'scampus community, safety, and environment BY STEPHANIE HOLLAND PSYCHIC RANGER NEWS VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) People are trying to reach out to you.

This issue, meet our news editor, Joshua Langer. Ever since Josh was hired as an intern for his position here earlier this semester, he has been on point, routinely stopping in the newspaper office with story ideas, asking for advice, contacting appropriate University personnel for necessary information, attending UW-Parkside events, and carrying a microcassette recorder wherever he goes in case a breaking story 5 pops up right in front of h im. He has held interviews with members of Parkside Student Government Association leaders, as well as contacting UW-Parkside administration officials such as Assistant Vice Chancellor Lenny Klaver and Director of Public Relations Dave Buchanan for correct information. His ambition has made him stand out at the newspaper office, and he has proven his worthiness to be our first "staff member of the issue." As the news editor, Josh writes the news briefs on page three in every issue, along with several feature articles normally found on pages four and five. When he is not writing for the newspaper, he is keeping busy with his 15-credit academic schedule, and works as a full time employee for an area factory. Josh is a senior here at UW-Parkside, majoring in English with a concentration in writing, and heading toward a May graduation. Great job, Josh! Keep up the good work!!!

A groundskeeper at UW-Parkside has over four miles of sidewalk to plow when it snows, plus all the parking lots, campus roads, entryways and snow clean up around campus. There are normally six people to clean everything. There isn't the manpower to put a person at every 10 feet of sidewalk to shovel snow by hand. Least we forget what a Wisconsin winter is really like? The groundspeople deserve kudos, not criticism. —A Gro undsbacker So let's say (hypothetically of course) that you are on a new health kick and have decided to work on running more. Since the weather has been a bit ungodly, you head over to the Frank Petretti Fieldhouse after class (roughly 3 p.m.), only to find that it is closed to students (who pay to use this facility through tuition) from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. so that various sports teams can practice. Are you telling me that the sports teams are so important here that they can't share a huge facility. Guess I'll just sleep after class; wake me when we become a D1 school. - Getting Fatter Got a complaint?

UW-Parkside - News Briefs Rainbow Alliance Poster Vandalized Sometime late in the week of February 9, an unknown party defaced a flier advertising meetings for Rainbow Alliance, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) campus organization. The perpetrator or perpetrators scratched out the word "Rainbow" on the flier, and wrote "Low-life." Also written were the phrases "Degenerates" and "Immoral Sickos." In addition to this act, several of the organization's fliers were reported missing from the Communication Arts building. Rainbow Alliance will continue to advertise their meetings, which are open to all UW-Parkside students. See page 17 for more on the story. 2nd Annual Pow Wow Cherokee, Chippewa, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Meskwaki, Oglala Lakota, Ojibway, Woodland, and representatives of otiher Native American tribes congregated in Main Place here for the second annual "Honoring the Children" Traditional and Educational Pow Wow. An estimated 600 people from Wisconsin and other states were in attendance as participants, vendors, and spectators of the traditional dance, drumming, speaking, and storytelling. UW-Parkside Sacred Circle sponsored the event. Patriot Act Forum Roughly 20 students, staff, and faculty came together in an informal meeting on February 16 to discuss the highly controversial Patriot Act, which gives the government the right to strip citizens and non-citizens of some of their fundamental constitutional rights if they can be labeled a "terrorist." A more formalized forum on the Patriot Act is scheduled for Monday, March 8 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in Main Place. Special guests will include a constitutional lawyer, a political science reference librarian, UW-Parkside Chancellor Jack Keating, and, unconfirmed at press time, a spokesperson for the FBI. Students OK Union Renovation Parkside Student Government Association (PSGA) approved a $24 million renovation and expansion proposal included in the annual SUFAC proposal. To accommodate the project, SUFAC fees would increase $448 over the next four years. Student would see an increase of $100 per year for die next two years then jump to $125 each year for die next two years after that. Current fees are about $572. With the expansion costs, the fees total would push UW-Parkside near the top of the Wisconsin fee scale. Students at the UW-Green Bay campus pay $1,154 in fees, largely in part of renovation projects and new construction on campus.

Representing 145,000 students on 24 of the 26 UW-System campuses, United Council is a student-operated organization committed to enhancing the quality of student life and higher education. "The $1.35 fee every UW-Parkside student pays each semester is not mainly used to fund our lobbying efforts in the state capitol," said Epps. "That money is used for us to make materials like this brochure, go around the state, and inform students, and then empower students to do that organizing on their own behalf." The $1.35 fee is also refundable to any student who does not wish to support United Council. Issues currently on United Councils's agenda include more representation on the UW Board of Regents, which oversees the entire UW-system, and better financial aid packages for poorer students. "We're seeing a significant drop-out in the poorest section of students applying to school because the cost of a higher education is growing so much higher than the available financial aid," saidPertl. The root cause of these trends is difficult to pin. Pertl explained, "Twenty years ago, financial aid was 70% grants and 30% loans; and now, it's 30% grants and 70% loans. It means your average debt burden is much, much higher than it used to be." "The bottom line is we support 'need-based financial aid' being based only on need. Any other criteria: drugs or criminal record, merit, or marriage, whatever it is, need-based financial aid is about need." Currently, the Wisconsin budget is in a crisis, and the UW-system is among the hardest hit of all state programs. So although last year, the available financial aid increased by 53%, owing to some unprecedented methods in appropriating that money, it is doubtful that there should be anything but a decrease from the record $80 million in need-based financial aid Gov. Doyle set on the table for 2003-2004. If you are interested in learning these processes —this is real-world finance—talk to any of your representatives in Parkside Student Government Association. The United Council's annual conference, called "Building Unity" this year, is March 5-7 in Milwaukee. As of press time, more UW-Parkside delegates would be welcome. Did You Sign the Bed? "If this is a place you'd like to be, go ahead and sign on me." A sign containing these words sat strategically next to a bed this past week in Main Place. This bed was part of a program planned by the Peer Health Educators called Love Carefully. The sign was not mean to trick anyone, but instead to demonstrate a point about how careless some individuals are with their sexual partners. A marker was left out for the students to sign with. This marker, in theory, could symbolically represent one of the 20 plus sexually transmitted diseases that exist today. The later in the week someone signed the bed, the greater the risk they had of contracting a disease. The question the Peer Health Educators are posing to you is this: How well do you know your sexual partner? All too often people do not realize that when they sleep with someone, they are not only sleeping with them, but everyone whom they have slept with and everyone who their partners have slept with...and that could go on forever. It was actually calculated that if a person sleeps with two people in a year, and they each slept with two people, etc., the original person would have slept with 512 people that year. As Peer Health Educators and fellow students, we encourage you to get to know your partner and to be safe. You cannot always tell if someone has a sexually transmitted disease, and in some cases, you're gambling with your life. Before you jump into bed with someone, make sure that you know who else is along for the ride. For more information on sexually transmitted diseases and testing options, you can contact the Student Health and Counseling Center at ext. 2366. The Segregated Fee. Part II; Changes for the Future By: Josh Langer and Todd Drangstveit The process for budgeting funds for the organizations, clubs, and departments accessible to UW-Parkside students started the previous fiscal year. Students of the UW-system have a high level of control over student fees through each school's Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee (SUFAC). UW-Parkside's SUFAC, in negotiations that started in October, changed its structure for allocating money to student organizations, with the hopes to raise the accountability of the organizations and offer them greater flexibility for programming large events. In the past, student organizations could request unlimited amounts for their budgets, but this year SUFAC has capped that amount at $20,000. Depending on the type of organization, different stipend caps are in place. Some of the factors SUFAC takes into account when granting budget requests for each student organization are the quality of the organization's past events, the content of those events, and the overall value that the organization adds to the student body. With this transition, the segregated fee total allocation for next year was cut by a total of $237,000, before the addition of a few new services offered to the students. The first new function is the contingency pool, which was funded with $75,500. This pool is accessible to all the student organizations looking to sponsor an event that is not in their planned budget, and also serves all students. These organizations are encouraged to work together to improve the quality of the large-scale events on campus. With this new addition to the students, the possibility of bringing in high-profile speakers increases as well as the chance of bringing in big name music acts such as Dave Matthews Band. The second new function is the Parking and Transportation Fee. Each year students pay $21,000 to fund students' access to the Racine Bus in the form of segregated fees. Next year, in addition to the Racine Bus expense, the students' parking permits will be covered in the realm ol the Segregated Fee. This was done to alleviate the expected increase in the price of student parking permits. The third and final cost SUFAC added was a $400,000 ouday for the construction and renovation of the new Student Union. This building project was at the heart of the committee's goal for the year of lowering the segregated fee per student by $50. If enrollment increases by 2% next year, the committee will accomplish this lofty goal. Recently, SUFAC passed on its recommendation to the senate to start the Union Expansion Plan. The senate has passed the budget for the next fiscal year, but has to still approve the $24.2 million Union project. After the President's signature, the project passes to Chancellor Keating and then to the Board of Regents. The estimated opening for the Student Union would have a Fall 2008 opening with the current schedule. Next issue we will discuss the specifics of the Union Expansion and the costs that are associated with it. Pq9e ^ The Ranger News UW-Parkside Students Learn the Lessons of bell hooks February 29, 2004 By Tracy Medek Editor's note: bell hooks prefers her name spelled in lowercase. "Feminist, cultural critic, and high priestess of love," were words Megan Feifer of UW-Milwaukee's Women's Resource Center used to introduce the campus' distinguished lecturer, bell hooks. This year marked the 10th anniversary of UW-Milwaukee's Women's Resource Center, but securing bell hooks as speaker was worth celebrating in and of itself. hooks, author of more than 16 books, is regarded not only for her insightful examination of gender and culture, but perhaps, even more so, for her pairing these scholarly discussions with a concept that is all but absent from academic writing: love, hooks places love at the forefront of her message, and it is indeed a radical joining of idea and spirit, hook's lecture rallied the audience around the idea of love's role in social change, or as hooks put it, "love's transformative powers." She stressed the importance of adopting a "love ethic," and applying this ethic in each area of one's life, including political action. hooks devoted much of her lecture to topics addressed in her newest book, The Will to Change: Men, Masculinity, and Love, hooks immediately dispelled the man-hating myth that has so doggedly followed the word "feminism." She spoke of the need for men and women to unite in the fight to end patriarchy, hooks doesn't place blame; rather, she declares with compassion that patriarchy is equally detrimental to men. hooks even chastises women, reminding them not to idealize their gender. "Unenlightened women are just as bad as unenlightened men," hooks said. The works of bell hooks are unique and provocative because she doesn't oversimplify or isolate the problem. She talks about "interlocking systems of domination" (race, gender, class etc.) which serve to oppress and divide. It is her SPECIAL FROM THE RANGER NEWS DIVERSITY: BLACK HISTORY MONTH attention to the innumerable facets of culture that gives her voice strength and credence. UW-Parkside took full advantage of the opportunity to hear bell hooks share her insights and ideas. Fay Akindes, Director of the Center for Ethnic Studies and admirer of hook's work, organized the field trip. The field trip was funded by Dean Cress and the College of Arts and Sciences, and by Associate Vice Chancellor Steve McLaughlin and the Office of Student Affairs. The two departments purchased 50 tickets for the event and paid for bus transportation. The students who attended were from a broad range of disciplines, including: communication, criminal justice, English, ethnic studies, political science, sociology, and women's studies. The response among UW-Parkside student attendees was overwhelmingly positive. Each student seemed to identify with something in hook's message. UW-Parkside senior, Jeffrey Raddatz, said, "She makes you reexamine everything you take for granted, something we should all do more often." When the floor was opened for questions, UW-Parkside's President of Black Student Union, Dannie Moore, posed a simple yet challenging question concerning what black males can do to counteract, as hooks phrased it, "thug masculinity" in our culture. Hooks explained that the issue is inextricably rooted in one's childhood, and that changes cannot be made without confronting and exposing these early shapers of attitude. Moore said, "I really liked how she brought it back to childhood." hook's appeal and effectiveness lie in her ability to strike a uniquely personal chord with audience and with reader. Her lecture at UW-Milwaukee attests to this bond. Hook's disarming defiance and incisive analyses made the evening an enjoyable and eye-opening experience. Page 6 The Ranger News February 29, 2004 SPECIAL FROM THE RANGER NEWS DIVERSITY: BLACK HISTORY MONTH History of Black History Month By Aaron D. Zabler Black history has been recognized annually since 1926. It originally began as "Negro History Week" and was recognized each year during the second week of February. This date was chosen because it coincided with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, both of whom had a profound impact in the abolition of slavery. This annual recognition was brought into existence by a man named Dr. Carter G. Woodson. Dr. Woodson was born in 1875, to parents who were former slaves. He was taught to read by his family members, was enrolled in high school at the age of 20, and eventually went on to obtain a Ph.D. from Harvard University. In 1915 Dr. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (which was later renamed the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, or ASALH) which promoted the study and education of the black history that was absent from many of the history books at that time. The ASALH still has that goal today, as the mission statement reads, their goal "... is to promote, research, preserve, interpret and disseminate information about Black life, history and culture to the global community." In 1976, as part of the nation's Bicentennial, Negro History Week was expanded and renamed to Black History Month. The month of February is an important month, not only because of Lincoln and Douglass, but because many significant events have taken place during this winter month. For example: February 23, 1868: W. E. B. DuBois, an important civil rights leader and co-founder of the NAACP, was born. February 3, 1870: The 15th Amendment was passed, granting African Americans the right to vote. February 25, 1870: The first African American U.S. senator, Hiram R. Revels, was elected. February 12, 1909: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded in New York City. February 1, 1960: In what would become a civil-rights movement milestone, a group of black Greensboro, N.C., college students.began a sit-in at a segregated Wool worth's lunch counter. February 21, 1965: Malcolm X, the militant leader who promoted Black Nationalism, was shot to death by three Black Muslims. Black History month is not only a reminder of the accomplishments of African Americans, but also the accomplishments of our society and its evolution toward equality. The recognition of this advancement and accomplishment in society is an imperative aspect that will continue to promote the improvement of equal rights in our future. Comin' Together By George Lasley What if the world wasn't brown (black) and yellow (white)? Would we defend our heritage or would we be upset because of the person who we are alike. Would we ever compete (e.g. which race is dominant and which race is the minority)? Where would the beautiful stories in history go? How could those who are oppressed get their confidence? All of my favorite inspirational words would no longer exist, such as xMya Angelous explaining why "the caged bird sings," or "why they are so happy." If such things like this fade away, what would be the writer's existence? No more stories to repeat, those repeated words are the only things that are keeping us (African-Americans) from falling. How would the oppressed ever rise from the bottom to the top or the back of society to the front? It's not all that bad that America is yellow and brown (that's the way it is). We must accept these new colors. We are all different, that is what makes us the same. So the next time a person is similar to you, think of what life would be life without those people.' Learning new styles and cultures enables us to appreciate our own culture, just as well as ourselves. We must be polite and respect each other's background. If these things are not accomplished, no one can point a finger at anyone but him or herself. God sees and hears all things. Before a negative comment comes forth, God has already heard it. Pray and help, instead of hurting. This month must stay with us through the year. It's all about coming together. Racial Peace Not Possible Without Racial Honesty Honesty about structural racism in the United States is necessary before any progress can be made in flattening the economic and social disparities between descendents of enslaved African Americans and the dominant culture. This was a central message in "Slave Reparations: The Land, The Mules, The Money," a guest lecture by Dr. Manning Marable, on Wednesday, Feb. 18, in the Union Cinema. Dr. Marable, Professor of History and founding Director ol the Institute for Research in African American History at Columbia University, was invited to speak at UW-Parkside by the Center for Ethnic Studies. Some 150 students, faculty, staff, and community members attended the lecture followed by a Q&A session and reception. Continued on page 16 The Ranger News The 5,h Annual UW-Parkside Martin Luther King Jr. Celebration February 29, 2004 By Josh Langer SPECIAL FROM THE RANGER NEWS DIVERSITY: BLACK HISTORY MONTH Racine Community Service Award winner Ahmad Qawi said in his acceptance speech, "If we use the right hand to wash the left, and the left to wash the right, then both hands come clean. Simple." More than a hundred people gathered in the Communication Arts Theater on the night of Friday, January 23, to celebrate the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King spearheaded the civil rights movement of the early 1960s, before which Americans of African descent had no legal right to vote. He spoke in major cities across the country, but primarily in the South. He organized and mobilized all of those who would join him in the nonviolent resistance of r acist America. His goal was an integrated society where his "four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." That was his dream. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated by a white supremacist in 1968. The ceremonies started as Professor James Kinchen of the music department outlined important steps in the growth in the momentum of the early civil rights movement. He first discussed the Brown v. Board of Education case of 1954 that established that the doctrine of "separate but equal" is unconstitutional. Segregated schools were illegal after this important Supreme Court decision. In 1955, Emmett Till's funeral received national attention, especially in the African-American community. The boy from Chicago was abducted and murdered while on vacation in Mississippi, apparently as retribution for saying "Bye, baby," to a white woman in a store. His mother, Mamie Bradley, gave him an open-casket funeral, so "all the world [could] see what they did to my son." This incident was important in that it showed the extent to which racism can affect any African-American, not just those from the South. Dr. Kinchen went on to discuss the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which was eventually successful in desegregating Montgomery's public transportation system. Martin Luther King, Jr. was head of the Montgomery Improvement Association. This was one of the first major civil rights causes he championed. In 1961, civil rights volunteers began sitins at diners and lunch counters that catered only to whites. Freedom Riders exposed the segregation that still existed in bus and train lines destined for the Deep South. The Freedom Riders were organized and mentored by Dr. King. Dr. Kinchen then spoke of the Birmingham Movement of 1963. Nonviolent civil rights protestors, many of them teenagers, were sprayed with fire hoses, bitten by police dogs, and beaten by law enforcement as they protested Birmingham's still segregated schools. During this prolonged violence, four young girls were murdered as they attended Sunday School by white supremacists who detonated a bomb in a Baptist church. Dr. Kinchen concluded his presentation by emphasizing King's line: "There is no use [for a black person] going to a restaurant if he can't afford to sit and have a meal.'" The program also consisted of awards, speeches, and performances. Awards were given out for community service, essay contest winners, and art contest winners. The art contest was for kindergartners through second graders: Kaitlyn Scott, Margaret Harms, and Joshua Choi, respectively. Essay contest winners were third grader Danielle Reynolds, fourth grader Kalyn Wilkinson, fifth grader Paula Minor, middle schoolers Stephanie Alfonzo Davila and Artasia Williams, high school students Carl Buck and Jeremy Chavez, and UWParkside's Nick Pitts. UW-Parkside student Chamika Ellis won a community service award for her extensive volunteer work in after-school mentoring programs. Racine and Kenosha Community Service Award winners Ahmad Qawi and Latrice Harris- Collins continued in their acceptance speeches the theme the little grade-schoolers had started: King's legacy as a call to action. Harris-Collins asked, her voice marked by passionate frustration, 'What are we waiting for? Why are we waiting?" In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his speech from which the lines, "I Have a Dream," have become so familiar. Martin Luther King Essay Parkside Winner Nick Pitts cited lines from this speech in his essay: "One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of interior prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society, and finds himself an exile in his own land.' Those words still hold true forty years later," Pitts continued. "The condition of our people has not changed." Pitts said, 'We cannot wait, because we are dealing with a life or death situation. The condition of the black man and woman in this country is growing worse with the dawn of every new day." The evening concluded as the Valor Voices of Praise of Zion, Illinois led the audience in song and praise of God and recognition that we are all necessary for the well-being of each other. DR.

Russell Harris Reporter Recently, The Ranger News had the opportunity to speak w ith the president of UW-Parkside's golf disc club, Rob Talatzko. Talatzko began his term as president at the beginning of the year after serving as vice president. There are currently about twenty members in the disc golf club, and Talatzko said, "Whether it is course upkeep or planning a tournament, we feel that students should be involved. We encourage students to join to have input as to what happens with disc golf here at UW-Parkside. The club is also trying to create a travelling team that would play other universities around the state. It is a great way to meet other people who 4re interested in the sport." When asked if anybody can play here at the university, Talatzko said, "Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to play here. Community members as well as students and faculty are welcome to play." When asked for one word that best describes the disc golf experience, Talatzko said, "Relaxing." If you are like me, you might not know much about the sport or its rules. Disc golf is played like traditional golf, but instead of clubs and golf balls, a disc is used. Disc golf is played with almost all of the same rules as traditional golf, with the biggest difference being that you get penalized for getting your disc caught in the trees. You can play year-round and in any weather. There are amateur and pro tee pads, too. As far as additional equipment is concerned, Talatzko said, "First, one needs a disc, and not a Frisbee. These discs are specialized for maximum speed and rotation. Second, the discs are thrown into a basket that is hung with suspended chains. As for cost, the course here at UW-Parkside is completely free. Many of the courses throughout the United States are free." Records are kept only for tournaments that take place here on campus. Also, if a player gets a hole-in-one (Ace) they get to write their name on the wooden tee posts at the tee pads. Talatzko said, "The leagues are always going. The club has provided leagues and even sponsored a tournament. There is also a Professional Disc Golf Association (PDGA) that holds tournaments and gives prizes and cash pay outs." If you're interested in joining the disc golf club, go to one of their meetings in Molinaro Hall, D139, on Wednesdays at 12:00 PM. Kung Fu Concepts: The Experience Having no formal training in any fighting or martial arts background, I was feeling a little nervous as I walked into the dance studio. Peng was at the door welcoming and eagerly waiting to see how many students would show up for his class. I say "his class because he conducts the class very professionally and is well prepared. Peng has been teaching and refining his teaching methods for three semesters now. After handing out a syllabus and an insurance waiver, he told us to take off our shoes and socks and form a circle. I was still quite nervous, but Peng gave us a brief overview of lesson one and then walked around to each person for some one-on-one time. In less than five minutes I was defending, attacking, and deflecting. Peng made sure everyone understood what he was teaching and felt comfortable before he moved on. After class I was excited to come back for lesson two and I was delighted I overcame my fear and signed up for Peng's class. The class is free, and Peng recommends you bring a mouth guard and a cup for protection, if you're a female, you only need to bring a mouth guard. There are very few things at UW-Parkside that you can participate in for free, but this has to be one of the best. I strongly urge any students who are interested in saving a life to come by and check out Peng's Kung Fu experience. And who knows, the life you might someday save may be your own. Parkside Women's Basketball Team Third in Conference Written by Michael Lui The Parkside Women's Basketball Team is 13-9 overall, and 10-6 in the conference. They are currently in third place in the GLVC (Great Lakes Valley Conference) which is one of the toughest NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. They have a strong team which is only looking to get better next year when four of their five starters will return. Sammy Kromm, Parkside's junior center, is also closing in on the overall career points record which is held by Laurie Pope. When asked about the record she said, "I'm excited about the record, but not as excited as everyone else around me is." She was more focused on the team improving and making it deep into the postseason. She just wants the team to keep on winning. With the good team record that Parkside is posting this year, they are hoping they will be able to recruit some good talent, and have a great program for years to come. They have already signed Nicole Watzlawick a 6'1" recruit from Hampshire High School in Illinois. The women will not play at home for the remainder of the year finishing up their conference schedule with two important road games. Then they will play in the GLVC tournament in Evansville, which starts March 3. M All-Star Game Exciting Even Without King James Written by Michael Lui The NBA Ail-Star game went down to die final seconds as the Western Conference barely pulled out the victory over the Eastern Conference 136-132. The All- Star weekend was held in L.A., and included all of die normal festivities, including the dunk contest and three point contest on Saturday. The hometown heroes didn't disappoint as the Lakers Kobe Bryant scored 20 points, and Shaquille O'Neal scored 24 points and was the All-Star game's MVP. Kobe did hear some boos from die hometown crowd when he opted to make a lay up instead of a dunk on a breakaway in the third quarter. Lebron James wasn't voted onto the Ail-Star team, much to the dislike of many NBA fans. Lebron is one of the top rookies in the NBA and is starting to assert himself as one of die leagues best players. He was masterful in the Rookie-Sophomore game widi some unbelievable dunks. Tim Duncan ended up sealing the victory for the West with 29 seconds left on a bank shot. He had a typical game with 14 points and 13 rebounds. He isn't a high flyer so he can't amaze the crowd with gravity-defying dunks. I racy McGrady and Vince Carter threw down some of the best dunks of the night. Allen Iverson played a weird role in the game as the NBA's scoring leader so far this season, only had 3 points. Iverson did dish out 11 assists in the game most of them on passes for thunderous dunks. Page 9 The Ranger News HEALTH & By Emily Rasbornik I'm back with more questions. Keep sending them! Even though your question may not make it in this issue there is a good possibility of it making the next. Once again I will put a disclaimer saying that I am simply answering the questions that I receive. FIND #1 I would like to know how I can improve the taste of my sperm. I want to know how diet and exercise can improve the taste. I went to ask Alice from Columbia University, and she said the you or your partner you should do a taste test. Sample some before and after you workout to see if you can taste the difference. Whether or not you alter your diet or exercise patterns, your semen, like your breath and perspiration, has a taste and smell of its own -- so, any modifications you make only have a limited effect. If there is a problem with the taste altogether you should do an experiment on what foods you are eating. If you're eating foods heavy on the garlic and onions, remember they produce strong odors. Try cutting out dairy and see what it's like then. Try eating pineapple and exotic fruits. If you smoke or drink, you may want to limit your intake because it could also leave a funky taste in your partner's mouth. http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu FIND #2 Does having sex in a hot shower or a hot tub kill sperm? Is it safe to have sex in a hot tub? No, having sex in a hot shower, hot tub, or in any kind of watery environment does not protect against pregnancy or sexually transmitted infections. The scrotum, the pouch that contains the testes, maintains the testes at a temperature approximately five degrees less than the rest of the body (about 93.6F). This function is important to fertility because the process of sperm production is heat sensitive. In hot temperatures, the muscles in the scrotum relax, and the testes move away from the heat of the body. Conversely, in cold temperatures, the muscles of the scrotum contract so that the testes can maintain their five-degree temperature difference. The increase in the temperature caused by sitting in a hot tub can indeed interfere with normal sperm production, but not enough to be considered an effective form of birth control. Men with fertility problems are usually told to avoid hot tubs and saunas. For men with normal fertility, using a condom or another form of birth control is better than not using any protection at all. http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu Send me your Health & Body related questions!

By Aaron Zabler It is impossible for me to pick only one CD to have on a desert island-should I ever have the obscure chance to be stranded on an island and be allowed the opportunity to pick which CD I would like to keep with me. This is because I hold myself to a certain code and try to apply it to every aspect of my life. Music is one area where it is fervently practiced. This "code" simply takes the idea behind paintings by Claude Monet—that the diversity of the color creates a whole and that whole is the painting you perceive. Its analogous implications are infinite but quite simply it means that I am willing to try almost anything and that for happiness to exist it is imperative that I institute diversity within my life—and thereby, attempt to make it whole. Therefore, due to my necessity for diversity, I would need to construct a compilation CD, something like this. Track 1 Better off Alone by Alice Deejay (to get the party started on an ironic note) Track 2 Remember to Breath by Dashboard Confessional Track 3 Faint by Linkin Park Track 4 Serenade for Strings in C major op. 48 by Peter I. Tschaikowsky Track 5 In the Mood by The Glenn Miller Orchestra Track 6 Open Road Song by Eve6 Track 7 Fast as You by Dwight Yokem Track 8 Can't Cry Hard Enough by The Williams Brothers Track 9 You Always Hurt the One You Love by The Mills Brothers Track 10 Here's to the Night by Eve6 Track 11 California Love by 2Pac Track 12 (Sic) by Slipknot (for those bad days on the island) Track 13 Pre-Ex-Girlfriend by Five Iron Frenzy Track 14 Final Slow Dance by MxPx I think this divergence of color would create a sufficiently whole, Desert Island CD. Album Review: Emery The Weak's End By: George "DRU" Drury Emery's debut on Tooth & Nail records treads ground familiar to many bands on the record store racks. It is essentially another screamo album, but where many of the bands content attempting to emulate bands such as Thursday and Thrice, it is evident that Emery has the potential to surpass those bands. With the quiet/loud dynamic working throughout many of the songs on the album, you can hear that the members of the band are skilled musicians. Emery takes the screamo sound and builds on it with keyboards and the singing ability of three vocalists. Though there are screamed vocals present in many of the tracks, they aren't consistently the focus, instead the screams are relegated to the background, and in the foreground, dual vocals intertwine melodically. Though the opening track "Walls" is perhaps the strongest on the album showcasing many of the band's skills, the keyboard and vocals opening of "Fractions" hints at the emotion the band is capable of conveying. Despite the fact that the album falls into the trappings of the genre, it should not be dismissed as another copycat release because, on a close listening, there is a beauty that is yearning to get out. Overall, it's an album capable of fulfilling the listener's emo and screamo desires. Sometimes we don't always know what to expect when unwrapping gifts.

Six years and three albums later, they're headlining a national tour with Thrice, The Bled, Murder By Death, and The Kinison. After closing the February 13th show in Milwaukee, guitarists Ryan Hornbrook and Derek Miller sat down with me to talk about PTW and their thoughts on many different topics, including their views on dmgs and the validity of people who use them to create music. KD: Thoughts on drugs? DM: As in? RH: Like hard drugs? KD: As in, I'm not saying, "Oh, what kind of drugs do you use? " But... RH: (laughs) Doing a line of coke off girl's boobs. Totally. KD: Is an artist less credible if they can only create when under the influence of something? DM: There's nobody that can say somebody's art is cheaper because... no, that's bullsh*t. KD: You think? DM: I really do. Like somebody says, well I know, actually Brad an I had this big argument - RH: It was actually you, me, Brad and Steve. DM: And it was just that, I mean, if you're strung out on heroin and you write a great song, and someone says, "oh, that wasn't you, that was the heroin talking"; that's bullsh*t. Moods are dictated by chemicals in your brain anyway. What matters is that you meant it. I drink cheap wine and cheap beer, and — you know, every few months I'll smoke a little bit of weed. That's the most I ever do, and that's the most I've ever done. I think it's just too careless and risky to mess around with other dmgs. I'm not really into not being in control of what I'm doing. I get dmnk and do stupid things, but I'm aware. RH: Think, in a lifetime, how many stupid things people do sober. DM: Yea exactly. I think it's about an equal ratio. KD: Okay, so if I can tap into my creativity, with no drug enhancement, and write a great song, and Mr. Guy needs heroin to do the same thing, how could you possibly respect us equally? DM: I really don't agree. The Flaming Lips, for example. Those guys take a lot of acid, and they're not shy about it - one of their records is called "Acid". They call themselves "acid-rock", and if you listen to it, you can imagine what LSD must feel like. If you were on it, it would probably be really intense to listen to. But they're still good; [the music] still works for people like me who don't take [acid], I think it's none of our business, because the bottom line, for me, which I rarely think this: Ideally, I'd like to listen to a record, and know nothing about the band. Their name, what they look like, what dmgs they do, what their morals are - Put on a record completely blinded. When you take all these things into account, all of a sudden you're judging them. RH: I don't know. It's like, kinda funny, in today's looser moral concept— at le ast in America, like, how it matters so much more now what dmgs people do. No one cared that Charlie Parker was f*ckin' doing heroin, and wasted, and beating the crap out of his wife in 1947. No one gave a crap. All they knew is that Charlie Parker put out awesome records. DM: Or Phil Spector. RH: Yeah, exactly. Phil Spector beat the crap out of Ronnie Spector. RH: Even in the socially conscious dichotomy of punk rock, I don't hear anyone complaining about the Ramones' record, "Road To Ruin", which he pretty much produced and co-wrote. I don't think it matters. Like, who am I to judge anybody for what they choose to do with their personal body. I mean, the heroin didn t write the song. KD: I mean, yeah. It did come from them. But as far as judging, we all do it whether we want to or not. And yeah, I '11 still listen to their music, but I won't be as impressed. I mean, it's almost impossible to not let knowledge of someone's background affect your opinion of their art, or music, or anything. DM: No. I mean, I see why you think that way. I mean, yeah, my opinions on this bounce back from time to time. Like, I've had bad experiences with bands I really liked, and I'm like "Am I going to let that affect the way I hear their songs?" Sometimes yes; sometimes no. RH: When it's like, you care about music and abuse substances occasionally, fine. Then it turns to, yeah; you care about substances and abuse music occasionally. That's the line for me. When what you're doing is less important than getting f*cked-up, then I lose respect for you. As opposed to, care about what you're doing so much, that whatever you do extracurricularly definitely takes a backseat to what you do. It's definitely a different thing, because eveiyone music or non-music: 99.9% of America's population, yeah, they get dmnk on the weekends. Yeah, they do sh*t they're ashamed of, sober or dmnk. But for me, the line is drawn when being an addict is more important than being- an artist. More interviews coming soon! Including The Darkness & Rory Phillips of Slowreader.

Page 12 The Ranger News February 29, 2004 Movie Review: 21 Grams By Jim Burzelic This movie is not about drugsY. es, someone in it has a drug addiction but that isn't the focus of the film. What the title refers to is the amount of weight that the human body loses at the moment of death. The tagline for the film, "How much does life weigh?", is the underlying question throughout as three lives intertwine, culminating in a sacrifice to ultimately save everyone involved. In a non-linear narrative directed by Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, we learn about Paul Rivers (Sean Penn) a mathematician with a critical heart condition, Christina Peck (Naomi Watts) an ex-drug addict who has found new purpose in her family, and Jack Jordan an ex-con who is now on the straight and narrow with Jesus. Their lives come together in a tragic accident and fly out of control until they force themselves together once again. All three actors give amazing performances of bitter illness, religious conviction, and heart-breaking loss. This alone is worth the admission. The direction is also well done with individual scenes working as small stories on their own. The story is compellingly told as these three unrelated people come together under the tenible circumstances of a car accident. The transitions between scenes however trip up the momentum of the film by being shown out of sequence. More time is spent trying to figure out when the action is happening and how the scenes relate to each other than should be keeping the audience from connecting to them as quickly. The voice-over narration, while delivered well, is somewhat cheesy, hitting the viewers over the head with the message where it isn't necessarily warranted. Overall, 21 Grams is an excellent movie with only a couple imperfections and worthy of the accolades it is given.

Turner Edited By Tess Tobon Chapter II of VI This entire thought process took a split second. Meanwhile, the Mamba had given up on the rabbit and changed course, now focused completely on the bicycle. As attack was imminent, the student had the feeling that he was free-falling. The feeling was one of being swept away by a large wave, or by the wind in a hurricane. Swept away, but not for long, because the monster was on him in a nanosecond. As the Black Mamba raised its head and the forward quarter of its body to strike, Malcolm inadvertently stopped peddling, causing the bike to reduce speed sufficiently, causing the snake to miss its target (his leg), and strike instead the spokes of the front wheel, directly behind the front fork. This was not a prescient moment; he had 110 foresight of this happening. He had inexplicably slowed and caused the miscalculation of the strike. The snake's head, with its teeth engaging the spokes, was caught hard up against the fork holding the front wheel. When he realized what had happened, he knew that he had a chance, a fighting chance, to win this battle. Epinephrine surged through his body now, as the adrenal gland secreted the hormone affecting circulation and increasing muscular strength by an unknown factor. The exhilaration he felt at this time, he knew must be similar to that felt by warriors from time immemorial. However, at this time, at this place, on this bike path, he was ready. He felt his strength and energy as never before. His brain was processing information and delivering instructions to all of his bodily functions with the speed of the fastest computer. He needed this influx of energy and strength from the inboard computer encased within his skull. As he dismounted, he continued to push the bike forward, keeping the pressure on the snake's head, thereby trapping it against the fork. He quickly slipped out of his backpack and eased the zipper open, took a quick look at the head of the Mamba to make sure it was still trapped against the fork, thrashing violently, attempting to escape. Now7 he readied the pack for its soon to be deadly package. The idea now was to place the snake in the cargo hold of the pack in the most effective, efficient, and least dangerous manner. Head first or tail first? Should he grasp the head, which is strong and has sharp teeth and all that venom; or does he try for the tail, which would be difficult to control as he reaches the mid-section of the body, where the Mamba's greatest strength resides. Malcolm laughed as he enjoyed a flashback to junior high days, when searching the crags and crevices in those low mountains in Arkansas, just east of Fort Smith. Oh yes, and those huge Eastern Diamondback Rattle snakes in the palmettos of southwestern Florida, where he and his brother had located a large one, almost six feet in length. His brother had the forked stick firmly in place, directly behind the head. He had chopped the head off with a hatchet; a juvenile act. It had taken two hard strokes to sever the head from the body. The memory of that outing almost made him sick. We do not kill animals, even reptiles. This is a six-part, serialized short story.

The Ranger News February 29, 2004 By Emily Rasbornik The very holiday I was trying to forget was in my face as I watched my roommate's face light up as her boyfriend entered my apartment. I was trying to make this day like any other normal day, but how could I? The neighbor came over and dropped off flowers for the single girls, claiming "Every woman should have a flower on Valentine's Day." What a thoughtful gesture, but what was weird, was that he took the flower from his girlfriends bouquet. Comic relief began playing a huge part in my V-Day night. Valentine's Day seems to be a made up holiday for hallmark to make more money. But every year wc all buy into the feeling behind it. You always hear the singles complain about this day; the anti-Valentine's parties people throw, which are just to meet the opposite sex so they don't feel bad, hearing girls say that they don't need men, and guys using this holiday to get laid. I found myself feeling really odd, it was a weird feeling. I slept in late, worked out, and cleaned my apartment. I thought if I stayed busy, the odd feeling would leave my soul. I was reflecting on my past relationships. Remembering the good times brought a smile to my face. But I hit reality when I started to wonder about my most recent EX. I started to wonder what he would be doing, and then I wondered who he would be doing. What a sick thought. I ordered pizza and did a little homework before we started to watch bull riding for the first time. I h ave never been to a rodeo before, so I was shocked to see a man ride a bull...I guess men really do know how to work their hips! But I did notice these bull fanatics can only ride for like ten seconds. Typical male. Then I went and turned on Queens of Comedy. This was funnier than getting a flower from another girls bouquet. It brought continuous laughter and was the only thing that helped me forget that it was Valentine's Day. Next time you are alone on Valentine's Day remember that no one really knows the origin of the day, large amount of chocolates make you fat, you didn't have to spend any money, and bull riding is where it's at. It's nice to know that someone cares about you, but I would rather know that more than one day a year. We love feedback! E-mail Emily Rasbornik at real757@yahoo.com or Henry Gaskins at uw_paperboy@yahoo.com. The Art of the Heart By Henry Gaskins Happy belated Valentine's Day to all readers of Exposing the Sexes. The "heart holiday" has come and gone, and for the first time in years, I silently observed the day as a single man. Pior to lately, I had been pondering the idea of soul mates. All thoughts were put on hold when I found out it was February, because I didn't want to meet someone knowing Valentine's Day was right around the corner, and then struggle to find out what the perfect Valentine's gift might be for someone I've known less than 15 days. I think Valentine's Day is an opportunity to take a relationship to a higher level, whether it's by reaching third base, saying "I love you," or even offering a lifetime of marriagc. And if I were to meet a person within the aforementioned timeframe, I would probably not be ready to get very serious, unless it is someone I have studied and know really well, such as Nelly Furtado. For me, being single throughout those two weeks wasn't easy. The couples I know seemed to be genuinely closer, and I saw heart balloons, roses for sale, and red Hershey's Kisses every time I turned around. Generally, I can handle all that, because the "soul mate search" isn't a top priority of mine. But as Jimi Hendrix said, "Loneliness is such a drag," and I could definitely identify with that for those two weeks. That whole time, I tried to keep in mind there are more important aspects of life that I want to aim for. I try to make my priorities as follows: academics number one, job number two, enjoyment of life number three, and as long as I stay busy with these things, the search for a soul mate is usually on the backburner. But for every moment I am happy being single, there is a half of a moment of emptiness, which doesn't bother me too much, because I generally feel like it is within myself to stay strong, heading in the direction I want my life to go with minimal distraction. I'm not a guy who thinks February 14 is just a Hallmark Holiday, though. It is a noteworthy day, because it gives couples the extra opportunity to express how they feel about each other. And I can't really say that's a bad thing or act bitter just because I'm single. Although, I have noticed plenty of single people cursing Valentine's Day and acting bitter, including myself, which I believe is due to the subjective nature that lies within humanity. When I think about it, I appreciate what it is worth, single or not. I even wore a red sweater that day to show my encouragement to all those people seeking white picket-fence land, but I definitely consider myself more of a "blues" kind of' guy.

Page 16 The Ranger News February 29, 2004 Continued from page 6 Speaking the truth about our country's history of racist slavery is far more important than material reparation, according to Marable. "Reparation is not fundamentally about the money," he said. Marable used the analogy of a rape victim who doesn't sue a rapist for monetary compensation, but for the truth to be known. Similarly, Holocaust victims sought the same from their Nazi persecutors, as did Japanese Americans who were interned in U.S. concentration camps during World War II. What is needed is an honest discussion, however painful it may be, that the U.S. was built on chattel slavery. He listed the White house, the U.S. Capitol Building, the Washington Monument, Wall Street, and such Ivy League universities as Brown and Yale as being partially built and financed by the sweat and blood of enslaved African Americans. How does acknowledging the foundations of our country's history change how we live today? When we acknowledge our shared history of racism, we then have a moral responsibility to redress the crimes of the past, Marable said. Continued from page 7 Marable and managing editor Chervil Y. Greene, is published jointly by the Institute for Research in African-American Studies at Columbia University and Taylor and Francis publishers, and distributed nationally and internationally. In 2001, Dr. Marable initiated the "Malcolm X Project" at Columbia University. The research project includes the development of a Malcolm X e-course, combining several Malcolm X biographies edited by Marable, as well as Alex Haley's The Autobiography of Malcolm X. In 2002, Dr. Marable launched the "Africana Criminal Justice Project," with finding from the Open Society Institute (Soros Foundation). The project encourages the development of civic capacity building and leadership training among former prisoners, and proposes fundamental legal reforms within the criminal justice system and the prison industrial complex. Dr. Marable is perhaps the most widely read intellectual within the African American community. Since 1976, he has written Along the Color Line, a syndicated political affairs series that regularly appears in over four hundred black-owned and black-oriented mass publications throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Caribbean, and India. Marable also recently published The Great Wells of Democracy, a book which lays out his thesis on racial history and politics and proposes strategies for a more inclusive democracy. Dr. Marable is featured frequently in national and international media as an expert on the history and politics of race in the Lnited States. He regularly appears on media programs such as CNN's Talk-Back Live, C-SPAN, the NBC Today show, ABC Weekend News, Fox Network News, the Charlie Rose show, BBC television and radio, Japanese television, National Public Radio, and the Pacifica Radio Network. He donates much of his time to fundraising and speaking on behalf of prisoners' rights, civil rights, labor, faith-based institutions, and manysocial justice organizations. Dr. Marable also lectures annually in Sing Sing Prison, Ossining, NY, in the M.A. program for prisoners. CO-CURRICULAR TRANSCRIPT The Student Activities Office maintains the Co-Cirricular Transcript.

Even a TV News crew was notified and came out to cover the event, which made front page of the local newspapers the next day! Why is it then, that when the invitational fliers of Rainbow Alliance were both vandalized and torn down on various campus grounds, including classrooms and hallways mainly in the CART building, none of the members lifted a finger to protest against this horrific form of harassment? Carol Vopat, an English Professor, requested some of the vandalized fliers so that she could place them on supporting faculty office doors, to "promote open-mindedness." The organization itself has passively opted to reprint the fliers and "post them high enough where they can not be easily torn down." First of all, Rainbow Alliance should NOT have to go out of their way to prevent, their legally posted materials from being vandalized. They have the right to post fliers and other materials just as any other student organization. Secondly, prejudice does not only affect those of minority racial groups. Ignorance knows no creed, ethnicity, race, or sexual preference. This is harassment against an organization that offers a safe haven to LGBT's and their allies. I am appalled that this crime is being taken so lightly. As a supporter of Rainbow Alliance, I challenge its members and other openminded individuals to stand up and NOT allow your rights as students and humans to be trampled upon. Demand the respect that you deserve! Editor's Note: In an effort to support Rainbow Alliance, The Ranger News has inserted a free advertisement for the organization on page five. Returned Purse: a Symbol of Hope By Victoria Schuebel As of Friday, January 23,1 had made my complete metamorphosis into a cynical drone of society. Through numbing experiences and articles that prove things like, "love is not an emotion, but a chemical release of dopamine in the brain," I figured there is no purpose in life except to procreate. Usually I am a deep thinker and whimsical dreamer, . but I was now drowning in a bland rationality of acceptance. Just when I decided all was lost, something wonderful happened to twist my mind back into a positive direction. I lost my purse the following Saturday night, with money, gift cards, and bank statements in it. I was very upset, but Monday morning I got call at 8 a.m. A lady reported someone turned in my purse, so I went down to receive it, and to my amazement nothing was missing. The lady did not take the young man's name so I have no other way to thank him, other than to write this article and hope he sees it. The point I am trying to get to is one that an entire academic course questions at UW-Parkside. In philosophy of religion, a person is to question ethics, and while there are many presumed ways to fight evil, religion and ethics may have nothing to do with it. I'll take my new cynical, "take things as they are" approach here; for whatever made this young man return the purse non-invaded, it matters not. What matters here is that he did a joyous thing, by inspiring me with a new hope for our human lives. This solution may not be the way to take on all situations (for example murder) but I 11 figure that out later. Finally I hope this corny true tale will inspire drowsy, paranoid hermits, and soon to become grumpy old men and woman. I hope that we can see now that even if there is no purpose here, and no eternity with flowing beer and palm trees, that we can inspire each other, we can make this time here as joyful as possible-to ourselves and others. Union Expansion? B • 1 • : VJS:X)A : s? . v U V.' I'd like to address a topic concerning ail my fellow students. There are voices S]>eaking on the behalf of those who pay tuition. These voices are casting votes that mill make drastic changes to our current system. The student body isn't even presented with the option of obtaining proper knowledge regarding these legislative decisions. The student government has promised and has even claimed to speak for and represent the student body at UW-Parkside. If they have lived up to their word, then I must proceed by asking my fellow students a few crucial questions. Whate xactly is your hard-e arned money being used t or? Shouldn't your student government keep you thoroughly informed about issues of this nature? If they won't take the initiative, then 1 feel it is my duty to step forward and shed light in corners where cowards such as these exchange wh ; m and claim them as voices of the stu dent body.
