SAMANTHA SCHMALING schma005@rangers.uwp.edu Lane Earns, who serves as the interim chancellor for University of Wisconsin- Parkside, announced at the end of March that he will no longer be pursuing the permanent position of chancellor. Earns was originally approached by UW System President Reilly to fill the temporary position of interim chancellor at UW-Parkside. Reilly expressed with confidence that Earns was the right person for the job, and Earns felt that he could help the campus in continuing to move fo rward as it looked for a permanent chancellor. When asked by the Ranger News what kind of goals he wanted to fulfill during his temporary position, he replied, " I wanted to: bring a transparent leadership style to the campus; begin a strategic planning process;' develop more effective recruitment and retention strategies; develop quality transfer articulation agreements between Parkside and area educational institutions; and continue administrative support of diversity and inclusive excellence." Earns believes that he has made progress in all of his goals for UW-Parkside, but believes there is still continuous work that can be done. He also expressed that in his time here, the campus had to redirect its focus towards the budget reductions, which were the largest in the University's history. Earns felt that the campus has approached the budget reduction in a proper manner. He is confident that the campus will make it through the budget cuts and remain true to the academic mission, and keep the personnel intact. Earns' words of advice directed towards the students are as follows: "Look around and enjoy your beautiful campus and appreciate the wonderful diversity of people that make up this University. Take advantage of what it has to offer - both inside and outside of the classroom. Parkside's faculty and staff members care not only about your academic success, they care about you as peopl e. UW-Parkside is, indeed, a special place with much to offer you." I can say without hesitation that my time at Parkside was one of the best professional experiences of my life, and that I have enjoyed being here. From my first day, I have received tremendous support from the campus and the community, and I would like to thank everyone for their kindness." After leaving UW-Parkside, Earns will return to his previous position of Provost and Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs at UW-Oshkosh. UW-Parkside will be continuing the Search and Screen process for a new chancellor. "I can say without hesitation that my time at Parkside was one of the best professional experiences of my life, and that I enjoyed PSG Inauguration MAY 6 various other students as writeins. Zak Smith, current Vice- President of PSG, was re-elected with 220 votes; some of the remaining votes went to other students as write-ins. SUFAC-at-large had two candidates up for election. Ken Horton and Jose Sanchez. Both students were elected with 158 and 150 votes, respectively. Several senators were ru nning for re-election, including Ronnie Beesley, Christina Bieser, Ben Holmes, and Heather Porter. Students could vote for up to 20 Senatorial candidates, including any write-ins. There are 20 Senators-elect for the 2009-2010 school year: Ronnie Beesley, Christina Beeser, Ben Holmes, Heather Porter. Dana Calamia, Jisha Jose, Dennis Orellana, Kasey Pasqualini, Nelson Senda, Johnathan Sword. Marlene Wells, Jason Wolfe, Linda Vang, Matthew Smanski, Mark Baumgartner, Chris Schatzman, Michelle Slabik, David Wilson, David Lynn, and Erin McDermott. The Green Fund is designed to use student mo ney to help make the student life buildings (such as Ranger Hall and the Student Center) more environmentally friendly. It received overwhelming support with 202 votes. There were two constitutions available for voters to reference to guide their decision on the last part of the ballot. The Election Committee's goal was to eliminate the controversy from earlier this year over whether a constitution had been properly ratified by the students in the last election. The options were to go with Constitution A. which is what PSG has been operating under for this current school year; Constitution B. which is the constitution used d uring the last school year; or pick neither and draft a new one. Constitution A passed with 171 votes. Election results will be ratified by the Parliamentarian at the PSG Inauguration, which will be held May 6. "We've got issues" JO KIRST jo@ therangemews .com After two days of open polls last week, the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Student Government preliminary election results are in. 284 ballots were cast in this election, compared to roughly 500 ballots in last spring's election. Polls were open later this year, with the addition of night hours for those students with evening classes. The ballot for this year's election consisted of votes for President, Vice-President, SUFAC-at-large, and Senate candidates. Additionally, the ballot asked for students to approve or disapprove a "green fund", as well as askin g students to vote on which constitution they believe the student government should be operating under. Incumbent Theodore (Ted) Ruffalo and challenger Andrew (Drew) Adams were the Presidential candidates; Ruffalo won with 191 votes compared to Adams' 74 votes. A majority of the remaining votes went to 2 The Ranger News April 14/200?

ASSOCIATED And once again, we are rapidly approaching the end of the semester. Three more issues after this one! Then there's summer break, and then we will be online come fall. I'm pretty excited to get the new website up and running over summer so you guys can get news much, much sooner than ever before. Being online will make our lives much easier as well, as we'll be able to update from anyplace at any time. No more sitting in the office all day Sunday laying out the issue...actually, come to think of it, that's kind of sad. It's almost like a tradition. Anyway, luckily the papers arrived on time this week. I was hoping they'd be on time since PSG elections were Wednesday and Thursday, and our front page was cpvering both candidates for President. On Thursday, I came in to the office rather early and found a pipe that had burst overnight, and anything that had been sitting on the common table in the middle of our office was ruined. Thankfully, nothing of value was damaged, and thankfully the issues had gotten distributed on time. I normally stack the papers on that middle table, and they all would have been ruined if they had been late. Registration begins soon for fall, and as always we're offering internships for the upcoming semester. We do not offer summer internships, since " we don't publish over summer break. But starting in fall, we're welcoming anyone who is interesting in interning with us. And even if you want to join us without the internship, we would love to have you! With that in mind, I'll let you continue reading. Have a great week, see you next Tuesday. Jo Kirst Editor in Chief THE 09-829 Misuse Of Handicap Placard, cleared. Com^xts Lot. 3:01pm.

This interactive workshop, featuring Dr. Frances Kendall and Patricia Lowrie, defines inclusion and the intersect of diversity; recognizing the roles of alignment across segmented connections of the institution; how these connections impact the mission and values of the institution; understanding where challenges reduce effectiveness; and, how individuals with their multiple identities ~ working also as collectives, create opportunities for different outcomes.

Foreign Film: "The Counterfeiters" 9:00pm Cinema The Foreign Film series saves its best film for last with 2008 Academy Award-winning Best Foreign Film "The Counterfeiters." This film takes a hard look at one of the most controversial and ethically dubious activities of World War II: Jewish collaboration with the Nazis. The film tells the story of the greatest counterfeiting operation in history, dubbed "Operation Bernhard." Beginning in 1942 and continuing until 1945, the Nazis set up shops in the cell blocks of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp to copy everything from identity papers to securities to currency. Their longterm plan was to supplement their military might with an influx of phony money into world markets that would cripple the economies of the U.S. and Great Britain. The film shows a different side of the war than what we are used to. Director Stefan Ruzowitzky depicts the care and attention to detail that went into the operation. The result was a pound note so authentic it passed inspection by the Bank of England. This represents the backdrop to the struggle of conscience endured by the main characters, and that's where The Counterfeiters' core strength lies. This is a "must see!"

E-mail US at rangernews@gmail.<om The Ranger News Parkside student makes school board KELSEY HOFF Hoff0013@uwp.edu Carl Bryan, a nineteen year old University of Wisconsin- Parkside freshman, has been elected to the Kenosha Unified School District No. 1 District Board of Education. He decided to run for the second time in September of last year and will be sworn in on April 27. T h e p r o c e s s has taken him at least two years. He first decided that he wanted to run during his junior year and was appointed to a spot on the budget and finance committee during his senior year. Based on the results of last year's election, he decided that he had a good chance this year as long as his class schedule would allow it. Bryan's campaign team ranged from fellow students, friends, and family to teachers and elected officials such as other school board members and aldermen. Bryan felt a strong sense of accomplishment from "being able to mobilize kids," and get them involved with the issues, but his favorite part of campaigning was meeting people. He enjoys hearing their concerns, getting to know them, and hearing their encouraging words of support. Campaigning this year was a lot easier because of his experience last year; his biggest challenge has been reading up on the issues, according to Bryan. He has "done his homework" and learned a lot from his term on the budget and finance committee. Bryan feels that the two most important issues this year are the process of searching for a new superintendent and managing the three hundred million dollar budget. Joseph Mangi is the current interim superintendent and Bryan thinks that they need someone with the same leadership qualities. The district is in a budget deficit and is receiving less and less funding from the state, so fiscal accountability is at issue. Bryan would also like to see effort towards student and administrator accountability, with school board policies being more strictly enforced in the classroom. He hopes to change and possibly liquidate certain programs and policies that do not work anymore. April 14, 2009 Ranger "vNews University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Student Newspaper SUFAC changes likely JOHNATHAN JACOB Jacob015@uwp.edu Members of Segregated University Fees Allocation Committee (SUFAC) are working tirelessly to initiate and oversee changes that will benefit all of Parkside's students with consistency and fairness. The main issue at hand is determining a better way to allocate funds that are available for organizations, clubs, events, etc. Currently, these funds are made available because of segregated fees, commonly referred to as "seg fees." Once student tuition is paid, money from that source is put asidesegregated- for other things. The formula for determining the amount of these fees is as follows: The dollar amount that Parkside receives for tuition is divided by the number of students enrolled in school. A common assumption is that the more a student pays for tuition, the greater the amount of money that is available for student activities and organizations, but this is not necessarily the case. Under the present system, clubs and organizations that request money receive funding based on a system of "tiers" and whether or not they have earned "major status." Briefly, "tiers" are the different levels of support (money) that are awarded. If a club or organization is a tier one (1), they are likely to receive more funding than a tier two (2). "Major status" is given to any organization that is determined to be "established." Meeting these criteria creates a significant advantage because requests for funding can be made directly to SUFAC. Otherwise, if major status has not been awarded, the individual or group requesting money must first go to the Student Organization Council (SOC), who then presents the request to SUFAC. According to Carly-Anne Ravnikar, SUFAC director, the elimination of "tiers" and "major status" is among the most significant changes being initiated by SUFAC. The idea is to eliminate any politics that may be involved so that groups are not awarded funding based on the number of members they may have or who they know. The mission is to "put everyone on an even plane," according to Ravnikar. Intern with us! The Ranger News offers an internship opportunity for any continuing students.

Ar t s The Ranger News A Cup JOSHUA BRADLEY With imnli^otionr o1 f Hope joshuabradley 11 @hotmail.com §The HOPES Center is hoping' you'll consider before buying another cup of coffee. The typical morning 'cup of joe' is more than an indulgence. In fa ct, it is an industry' worth $80 billion, second only to oil. Americans import 20 percent of the world's coffee beans, making them the world's top consumers. with implications on a global scale and US drinkers are most responsible. Americans drink coffee in the morning to wake up, in the afternoon to stay energized and in the evening to relax with friends. Out of this .coffee obsession, advocates for international responsibility have emerged. Advocates like the FLO and FAO point out the disparity between the prices paid to farmers and the prices paid by American consumers. The United Nations estimates that a farmer earns $.03 from a latte that costs $3 at a specialty coffee shop. Some large-operation coffee employees receive $2.00 a day, less than Starbucks charges for a Grande Latte. The vision of a more equitable coffee exchange developed in 1988, during a global price plunge. Nearly 20 million coffee farmers world-wide were underbidding other farmers, until thev were of economics resulted from overproduction and a devaluation of coffee beans. To resolve the issue, organizations established a 'fairtrade effort, the HOPES Center added a coffee shop, "A Cup of Hope" In downtown Racine, the HOPES Center fills a variety of roles. It offers mentoring, fairly traded goods and coffee and baked foods. Though new to the scene, the Center aspires to become a center for community and University engagement. The connections to the campus are already developing: the logo was designed by a Parkside student and many of the volunteer positions are filled by our campus peers. Tobring together Uni versity the HOPES Center is holding the social. The Parkside International encourage students to join them and other Parkside organizations. "It's a way for students to meet and interact with leaders in the community" said Sidra Syed, President of the International Club. Other organizations will also attend.

OPI The Ranger News Terrorism: Another disease April 14, 2009 RYAN ASHTON ashto001@uwp.edu In a well-known paper entitled On Being Sane in Insane Places, psychologist David Rosenhan argued that the use of labels such as "mentally ill" to describe individuals can have unintentional negative side effects. Rosenhan's paper discussed a study he conducted in the early 1970s testing the legitimacy of psychiatric diagnoses made by health care professionals. Rosenhan arranged for eight "normal" individuals to fake symptoms of schizophrenia to gain admission into one of 12 regular hospitals' psychiatric wards. If successfully admitted, each "pseudo-patient" was to immediately cease the faking of any schizophrenic symptoms and attempt to convince the psychiatric staff that they in fact were not "mentally ill." Rosenhan reported that while it was relatively easy for the pseudo-patients to acquire the label "schizophrenic," it was extremely difficult for them to shed that label once it was assigned. Rosenhan stated that the average length of hospitalization for his pseudo-patients was 19 days, and that each pseudopatient was discharged with a diagnosis of schizophrenia "in remission" rather than having the label completely removed. Now consider the implications of Rosenhan's study on the label "terrorist" as often used by U.S. officials and the mainstream media. Ever since George W. Bush dubbed his military campaign in the Middle East the War on Terror," we have been hearing incessantly about how vital it is that we defeat those "terrorists" who "hate our freedoms." I th ink it is fair to say that the diagnosis "terrorist" is mostly a claim about one's psychological make-up, similar to the way the diagnosis "schizophrenic" is psychological. When one labels someone a terrorist, one is saying something about a person's thoughts, beliefs, desires, etc. (e.g. "they hate our freedoms"). Similar to the Rosenhan study, it appears that the label "terrorist" is assigned somewhat easily and liberally: there are apparently a lot of them and we are to believe that there will continue to be a lot of them for a long time. It is not clear who is diagnosing this large population of people as "terrorists," or what criteria they might be using to do so (I don't think Bush or Obama are credentialed psychologists); but, unlike the Rosenhan study, they must be doing their diagnosing outside of a highly controlled inpatient unit since all those terrorists are scattered in hiding places throughout the Mid-East. If it was relatively easy for Rosenhan's pseudo-patients to receive a false diagnosis in a controlled environment, how likely is it that our government officials (or military soldiers and pilots for that matter) have accurately diagnosed the condition of "terrorist" from afar? I can't say I like those odds. Despite the difficulties inherent in the labeling of terrorists, there is the companion problem of figuring out how and when the "disease" of terrorism might be "cured." President Obama's official webpage (whitehouse.gov) boldly asserts that it is his policy to "Defeat Terrorism Worldwide." This without a cure implies that there is a "cure" tor the psychological mindset of "terrorism." If we apply Rosenhan's study here, we are likely to believe that once a person is labeled a "terrorist," there is probably little chance for that person to shed that label. Beyond the realm of mental illnesses like schizophrenia, we tend to see this permanent labeled-ness" when it comes to the label "criminal" (e.g. the ramifications of being a "registered sex offender," etc.). So, it seems fair to say that since there is a population of people now known as "terrorists," there is no realistic chance for these psychologically-afflicted "terrorists" to be "cured," and there is no real chance that these afflicted individuals will be given a clean bill of health and "discharged" back to their normal lives. Once a terrorist, always a terrorist, I suppose. Knowing the implications of such a label kind of makes me wish there was a more rigorous process of diagnosing "terrorism." President Obama appears to understand the ramifications of labeling terrorists as well; however his approach is a little different from mine. Rather than be more careful in the labeling of humans as terrorists to prevent unnecessary hardships for nonafflicted individuals, Obama would rather just eliminate everyone who happens to have been labeled a terrorist. Obama states on his webpage that he intends to "ensure that our military becomes more stealthy, agile, and lethal in its ability to capture or kill terrorists " See. there is no "cure" listed there. Just "capture or kill." This is how we deal with the psychological state of "terrorism." Since the disease cannot be killed, the host cannot shed the label; therefore, we simply must kill or quarantine the host. That is how we "defeat terrorism." It is interesting to note that Rosenham's paper went on to discuss ways in which the label "mentally ill" could lead to the dehumanization of the person carrying that label as well...I wonder if there's a parallel with the label "terrorist" on that front as well? STAFF EDITORIAL GEORGE LASLEY Lasle000@uwp.edu The article on Whites Swim in Racial Preference by Tim Wise is intriguing, and very meaningful. The article was encouraging, courageous and outstanding. These adjectives are not enough to explain the importance of how whites view themselves and the rest of the world. The metaphor that some whites live inside of a fish bowl is outstanding. I find Tim Wise to be particular correct on many issues. For example when Wise says that fishes are not capable of understanding their surroundings that makes them float, live and grow, that is some truth to that. The most significant element of this idea is that, there are some whites who do not recognize their advantages. There is such a thing as racial preferences. The structure of society is bias towards one type of culture, race, or people. These element leaves out many minorities and people of color whom look different. The idea that people are judge from outside in, instead of inside out is difficult to understand as a person that is mixed decent. I am aware that these problems occur all the time that many people have became custom to ignoring people's concerns, problems, and attitudes that suggest that inequality still exist in the society. These people who are affected, may lose jobs or even the opportunity to even get one. This idea is stunting because people without any means to survive will become animalistic. I feel that society as a whole can improve but there are not lhat many people that are willing to stick up and stand up against people that are racist, hurtful, or ignorant to others. If people were to protect each other equal rights, than these problems of discrimination would have been long goon. Instead many people are living within a fish bowl, not realizing that this type of behaviors, actions, and deeds exist. I have heard many people say that Affirmative action isn't necessary because it takes away the notion of treating people fairly. These people are living inside of a fish bowl for sure. Even the former president of the United States of America, which are supposed to represent the land of the free, thinks that affirmative action has no room in our society. Even someone that became the president of the Unites States has overlooked the fact that many minorities are being left out of elite schools and work places. These people seem to forget that our society is still based on images and not intelligence. Our society is also in control by a particular race, who rather hire and trust their own before letting other races get the opportunity to excel and achieve at the goals that they have set for themselves. Yes, I think that many people are stuck believing something only from the perspective that they were taught, which makes this experience of trying to diversify American's even harder. Until people that are in power realize that there are people who are getting left out and forgotten about, we as a country, and as a nation will continue to argue, sweat, and fight over the same issues, that caused many people to die. I stand in the gap for people who must strive harder than others. Racism is something that means more to me than a word that causes ethnicities to divide amongst each other. I f eel that racism is a disease that has affected too many lives. I think this disease and epidemic is being displayed all around the country, the world, and in peoples' lives. There are some people that will not diversify at all. This particular idea, notion, and fact cause me to stand up for equal right in places that may seem taboo. I f eel that the more people try to bring light on an issue that is as powerful as racism the better off minorities will be, because they will learn how to counter act racism. I am no better than any other person of color or monitory, or even the people that are not, but I will not give up as a person, I know that there is a lot in life for people who really work hard. I will not say yes, to people no's. I will not fight with my hands, but with the instruments that God has given me. I will continue to stand in the gap for people that are getting mistreated for standing up for themselves as well as others. I get called a Nigger or a Nigga, even though I dislike both words. But, I understand who I a m, and what I nee d to become. These words are what the enemy uses to try and keep the oppressed from rising up like the sun from the water and becoming bright as can be. I have seen to many people not make it to their professional stage in their life,due to the fact that people have singled them out and hurt their potential of becoming great. The idea that too many people are judge on the bases of their skin instead of the content of their character, gives me the motivation that a young man needs to transpire into a person that can conquer anything with God. The case studies are evidence that people are getting treated wrongly because of he person that they are. These case studies do not strike me at all, I am very aware of how people can feel and think about other people outside their race. All fourteen studies are mindboggling. As a future educator, what can I tell my students that will face racism and discrimination? What should 1 say? The fact is, I am not allowed to speak about certain issues. However, 1 will encourage them to read and write on issues that have been published for people to understand what the world consists of. There will be Latinas in my class, well as African- Americans , well as whites. Middle Eastern people, and Asians. The only thing that 1 can project to them is the facts that occurred in history. I can motivate them to become diverse individuals; by having them work with each other in groups. Hopefully, there will be more people that are not monitories who are mentally fighting for students to respect each other and love one another, but the difficulty about this solution or proposal is that people arc not forced to be fair and equal, even though each occupation states clearly that being racist is foul play.

Prairie burn re*,:f^l:-™~1 1 TWv u wi.„ahroHL.,il«L.. .. JOSHUA BRADLEY Joshuabradley 11 @hotmail.com In a time of urban sprawl, the University of Wisconsin- Parkside's prairies guard the campus, sweeping out majestically from the building far into the horizon. UW-Parkside is proud of this unique wild space. Some may have been confused to see the prairies ablaze on the morning of April 6. Members of Facilities Management stood guard, keeping the controlled flames from crossing the firebreaks. One guard posed for a picture as orange flames consumed the yellow grass behind him. The 'prescribed bum' is an artificial method for maintaining prairie health. Long before European settlers arrived to the Wisconsin area, lightning strikes and Native Americans created fires that could consume hundreds of acres. While temporarily destroying the landscape, fires cleared brush that kept young plants from growing and killed non-native, or 'invasive', species. Without prairie bums, forests would choke out the vibrant ecosystem that relied on fire. Though no longer a natural mechanism, the prescribed burn IS advocated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources as necessary for a high quality prairie. One study showed a 400 percent increase of flowering plants for up to two years after a burn. To keep Parkside's prairies healthy, the prairies are burned every three years, according to Dave Olson, Assistant Director of Facilities Management. Many sections of prairie were burned, though not all at the same time. On April 16, ten days later, the section east of Tallent Hall was burned. The amount of time between bums can be explained by the necessity of finding the 'perfect weather' to bum. Wind direction, humidity and precipitation all must be monitored closely. Once the weather had been forecast and the firebreaks set, Parkside called out the fire department and lit the grasses. The now blackened soil will absorb solar energy, encouraging seed germination and root growth. The prairies will be seen flowering all summer long. Global Village SAMANTH A SCHM ALING schma005@rangers.uwp.edu The Global Village Living -earning Community will be coming to the new Suites at he University of Wisconsin- Parkside in the fall of 2009. The Residence Life and Center for the international Studies presented his new opportunity to UWaarkside students. The Global Village is designed to create a place for international and domestic ;tudents to live in a joint environment. It is an ideal living situation for international and exchange students, for students hat study foreign languages ind foreign affairs, and also for students who are planning on studying abroad. The purpose of the Global Village is to provide a new experience for students who are interested in learning more about world issues and cultures. The living environment is designed to build an inter-culture community. Students that live in the Global Village are expected to actively participate in organizing and implementing cross-cultural programs. There is a fee of 100 dollars, in addition to the room charges, to cover the cost of special programs and services that the Global Village will offer. A preview of the programs will be offered especially to students living in the Global Village include: international film screenings, community service activities, day trips to cultural community events and other outings, and culture nights. It is-encouraged that students who would like to live in this community have interest in meeting people from all over the world, have interest in learning about other cultures and share their culture with one another, be enthusiastic and curious about living in an international community, and actively participate in the international - and intercultural programs of the Global Village. The students that live in this community determine what types of activities they would like to see come to the Global Villag and what they are interested i becoming involved in. Studer feedback on the Global Village i a crucial part of the development process of the international community. The International House on the outskirts of campus wil be closed starting next fall. Th students who generally live i the International House will be encouraged to live in the Global Village if they are interested. UW-Parkside felt that it would be better to have th residents of the Internatiom House closer to the main campu and closer to students wh reside in Ranger Hall and th Apartments. The Global Villag will provide more housing fc international students to live tha "We've got issues" the previous International House held for them. UW-Parkside students can apply for the Global Village Learning Community by visiting the housing website and choosing the Global Village as their top choice.

I've been doing a bit of research to see how other UW campus newspapers keep on top of their websites and online journalism. I don't intend on copying their procedures, but since we're venturing into uncharted territory here, there's no harm in some reconnaissance... right? I have to admit, I'm REALLY excited about this. Instead of being a weekly like we've been for...years, we'll be as up-to-date as possible on as many topics as possible. Sports articles will be up the same day as the game. Other time-sensitive events will be covered as quickly •as possible. We'll still have our regular, weekly updates, I'm sure. If nothing else, the website will constantly be changing. Once it really takes off, I hope to get some archives of old issues up. This may be in the form of PDFs from the more recent years, or maybe IU1 scan in issues that existed long before InDesign did. Hopefully this will allow students, staff, faculty, community members, and others to search for specific topics or articles. Since we're going online and vastly improving the quantity of our articles (being able to publish more often means we can cover more topics, events, and issues), we're going to need a lot of writers. Reporting is relatively simple, although it is a skill that takes some fine-tuning. However, if you are willing to learn, we are more than willing to have you! Come down to our office in the Student Center to fill out an application. We're desperately looking for sports writers. If you have a strong interest in sports and good writing skills, please join us! Even if writing isn't your thing, we'd still love to have you. You can become a photographer with us, a copy editor, an advertising representative, or even a marketing director! Any of these positions are also available as a 3-credit internship. I hope you all are as excited as the staff here at The Ranger News l's ab out moving to online publishing. We will all miss the hard copies, but perhaps in time we can manage to print once a month as a showcase of articles. For now, we're going to take a dive into the deep end and try something completely different. Enjoy our third-to-last issue on paper! See you next week.

Harold Hill is the Music Mari'--a con artist who arrives in sleepy River City, Iowa, hawking band instruments and uniforms and promising to teach local kids to play using his revolutionary "Think System." Hill knows nothing about music but he's confident he can skip town before his deceit is discovered. Although skeptical at first, River City allows itself to be seduced by Hill. Almost miraculously, the town and its people are transformed by music. Then Hill himself is transformed when he unexpectedly falls in love with Marian Paroo, the town's librarian. Drawn from Willson's memories of his Mason City, Iowa, hometown, "The Music Man" is a Valentine to small town America. Beginning with the mood setting "Iowa Stubborn," the play is packed with great music from the tenderness of "Goodnight My Someone" and "Till there was You" to the rousing "Trouble" and the climactic "'Seventy- Six Trombones." The music is mixed with numerous dance numbers including the delightful Shipoopi." Marching bands Irom high schools in Wilmot, Oak Creek, and South Milwaukee and the Emerald Knights Band of Kenosha provide music for the play's triumphant close.

ARTS CULTURE The Ranger News April 21, 2009 Parkside's very own musical artists ADRIANA ALEXANDER alexa016@uwp.edu This Wednesday's Concert was from our very own students here at Parkside This event took place in the Ballroom, and was a real eye-opener. Everyone was very pleased and impressed to see how Paikside's musicians have come so far and have done a spectacular job at expanding their talents and skills. Colin Galitz, an Eb trumpet musician, earned an Irene Laning Memorial Scholarship. At the Noon Concert, he did an excellent piece by Johann Nepomuk Hummel (1778-1837) called "Concerto". Any other trumpet player would be able to relate to his talent because it goes beyond measures. The pianist, Fumi Nishikiori, accompanied him. Performing "The Vagabond" by R. Vaughn Williams, was Joshua Holte. He is a tenor of Parkside's first Music Ensemble who received the Mary M. Kamakian Memorial Scholarship. Accompanying him was the pianist, Alejandro Alumbreros. Sara Reilson, playing the Euphonium, played the "Sonata in F-minor", movements 3 and 4, by George Philipp Telemann (1681-1767). She was also accompanied by Fumi Nishikiori and also received the Irene Laning Memorial Scholarship. Julianna Frey, a soprano accompanied also by Alejandro Alumbreros, performed "Das Veilchen" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. She received the Music Department Scholarship. No other soprano would ever relate to Frey. Her voice goes beyond most and is filled with passion and confidence. Receiving the UW-Parkside Academic Scholarship was David Dvorak. Dvorak, playing the trombone, performed in A Capella, the Improvisation No. 1 for solo trombone by Enrique Crespo (b. 1941). Jane Wermeling, who performed "Autumn Evening" by Roger Quilter (1877-1953) singing mezzo-soprano, received the Brian John Martin Memorial Endowed. Her accompanist was Alejandro Alumbreros. Brad Karas,' who played string bass, performed "Chanson Triste" by Serge Koussevitzky (1874-1951). He received the Lilian James Memorial Scholarship. His accompanist was also Alejandro Alumbreros. Last but definitely not least, Timothy Keith received the Music Department Scholarship. He performed "The Bird and The Beast (an essay)" by Celius Dougherty (1902- 1986). Alejandro Alumbreros accompanied him. To see our musicians show their outstanding progress and continuance in making Parkside proud brings joy, entertainment, and motivation and determination to the audience and future musicians.

As the title indicates, the plot revolves around the illegal production of currency, but the moral dilemmas and fears that are present throughout the film prove to be at the heart of the story. The story's protagonist, Sally - Sorowitsch,played by Karl Markovics, is extremely artistic and uses his skills as an unparalleled counterfeiter. This illegal activity leads to his arrest and imprisonment at a Nazi-lead concentration camp in Sachsenhausen, Germany during the Second World War. Ironically, the Nazi officers make it known early on that they will use Sorowitsch's skills to their fullest advantage. It is their mission, by maintaining an elaborate counterfeiting operation, to not only destroy the. economies of. Britain and The United States, among other countries, but to make the oppressive Communist Nazi regime the strongest economic and political machine in the world. This situation represents a significant moral dilemma for the prisoners. Many agree with Sorowitsch: going along with the Nazis will not only earn tehm better treatment, relatively speaking, but will also increase their chances for survival. However, this attitude is met with fierce resistance by Burger, a rebellious young inmate who is adamantly opposed to doing anything that will assist the Nazi efforts. On several occasions, he attempts to sabotage the counterfeiting operation. This causes him to be at constant odds with Sorowitsch. And the tension only escalates when the fake money is inspected and considered to be "genuine." The conflict between Sorowitsch and Burger is indicative of the Holocaust as a whole; you either swallow your pride and do whatever it takes to survive, or you rebel and get killed. Ultimately, the approach of both men is admirable. While they disagreed, they both had the same motive: to defeat the Nazis. Thankfully, their suffering would eventually come to an end when the war was over. Counterfeiters is an excellent film, but be prepared for graphic violence and disturbing images. CULTURE The Ranger News M '• m * April 21,2009 Asian GEORGE LASLEY heritage month celebration" B Lasle000@Uwp.Edu On April 15, 2009, at noon, Kao Kalia Yang, the author of The Late Homecomer, a Hmong family memoir, spoke out on Asian human rights. As the first a Hmong writer to get a book published, Yang is also a professor and a keynote motivational speaker who motivates about humans rights. Her intellectual and charismatic demeanor allows her metaphorical messages to be understood in depth. Yang introduces personal stories that were influential. She says, "As a little girl her father held her up and told her that she was above the 40 acres of pain and misery that they were accustomed to in their refuge camp in Laos." The metaphor that her father explained to her is just another informative ideology that help explains what many went through in their refuge camps. Her father also told her at a young age that a lion is magical because of its bold and fearless characteristics. She says, "Her father was explaining to her the importance of survival. There is a great destination for those who are brave." This opportunity allows audience members to hear direct experiences that have transformed her into becoming an outstanding person. As Yang says, "The world can not understand us if we do not voice our differences; we are not the authors of our stories. If we are important, we might receive a page. Our lives affect everyone that lives and die because out lives breath on in others. There were questions asked, and there were questions that were asked specifically to Asians and Asian Americans. The question that they were asked was "How does it feel to be an Asian or an Asian-American here at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside"? Moua Thao, a ju nior, says, "It feels like I am walking into a very small environment with Asians, while the campus is populated with other ethnicities". Emily Vang says, "I am constantly living in two different worlds, torn between American's and Hmong's values. Professors expect me to be the 'model minority.' Being Hmong is a burden and a gift, but I would choose to be Hmong again if I could". Ruth Briones says, "It's great because we represent a completely different culture and ethnicity, as Asian-Americans. Also, as a member of PAO, I have the opportunity to share the Asian culture to the student body and throughout the community. 1 am thankful that there are departments here at Parkside, like the Multicultural Students Affairs, which gives support to people of color," Ourlee Ourun says, "1 am a Pacific Islander, which is considered difficult because everything is new to me and 1 believe that no one can really understand me. where I come from, or how 1 see things. But I do socialize with different people. It is also difficult because there are not a lot of Asians here at Parkside It's like I'm stuck in my Asian group because of their support. Even though this is a small campus, for minorities it is hard for Asians to get heard. I feel like I have to work 10 times harder than others because of what I look like. It's ok though; what does not kill me only makes me stronger".

For those who thought exactly that, you're right. Well, today I'm here to add on to that "assness" by taking a few shots at some of my scholastic peers and workmates. My complaint: People - even college-educated peopledo not know how to write! What started as a pet peeve of mine while I was in college, slowly morphed into an annoyance when I began working for The Ranger News, and now is just a full-blown outrage since I've been in the workforce. The Ranger News itself has received considerable criticism for the quality of its published articleswhich have been well-deserved m my opinion-but that doesn't even scratch the surface of some of the articles that have crossed editors desks that never even made it into print. While 1 was an editor for the paper, 1 would literally spend hours trying to rework articles just to make the sentences coherent, let alone say anything substantive. It was beyond ridiculous that what I saw was from college students. I can only imagine what some of the professors on campus have to deal with. Now that I am employed in the community, I again have been confronted with instances of poor writing. I have seen important documents printed on agency letterhead contain numerous spelling and grammatical mistakes. Again, the sources of these mistakes are collegeeducated people. 1 can t believe so many people are bad at putting words and sentences together. Writing is an extension of language; and language is the formalization of communication. Society, as a social apparatus, depends on the ability of its members to communicate clearly and effectively in order for the society to function optimally. Without the ability to communicate effectively, how are we to understand each other? Ask any relationship guru and they are most likely going to tell you that the key to any healthy relationship is communication. Society as a whole is one big relationship, so communication skills are just as crucial en masse. Unfortunately though, my observations have suggested to me that many of my peers and coworkers are sorely lacking in writing skills. Maybe this factor relates to why society suffers from so many ills. More than that though, the ability to articulate- one's sell clearly and concisely is an exercise in intelligence. Many theories of intelligence postulate that verbal skills are an indicator of one's overall level of intelligence. Therefore, the more command individuals have over language, the higher their level of intelligence is likely to become. Yet, I observe that plenty of college students and college grads can barely write a paragraph without a spelling, punctuation or grammatical error. And this is with the advent of word processors equipped with spell-check and grammar-check software, mind you. We're talking collegeage people and older lacking a command of their native language here. We're talking adults. Presumably, these adults have graduated from high school, middle school and grade school — each of which ought to have taught writing skills. Somewhere, something has failed miserably. 1 could launch into theories about why people don't know how to write; I c ould rail against technologies like television, cell phones and text/instant messaging (as I've done in previous opinions); I could assert that people don't read enough anymore or engage each other in meaningful conversations; but instead I'm just here to complain. I don't really care why it so happens that few people seem to grasp the fundamentals of language; I'm just pissed that they don't. And, since I'm a pompous ass, I'm going to stand here and preach how much others don't know how to write while asserting that I do. Anyone who doesn't like it can complain to me in writing via my email above. _im OPINION PAGE SUBMISSION GUIDELINES Submissions 1. All opinions must have a point that is backed up by fact. 2.

Currently, the first purpose of the rain garden (removing invasive species) won't come into play as much. The Environmental club added that by creating this rain garden, they are encouraging native animal and plant diversity. However, the rain garden will play a large part in collecting water off of the residence hall roof top. The Environmental Club explained that, "Too often our rain waterfalls onto impermeable surfaces and then rushes into streams and rivers. This brings dirt, which is the largest pollutant in the United States, into tributaries and eventually into lakes and oceans. A rain garden slows the flow of the water which in turn reduces flooding and drought." The rain garden is funded by Root-Pike WIN, who donated the plants, the Environmental Club, the Student Organizations Council, and UW^- Parkside students who raised money through a penny war.

The infamous game of "Zombies Vs Humans" was played by many of students all last week. The random, however entertaining event had many non-players talking about it over dinner one night. If such an event can get so much attention I wonder what will happen next? From the many Zombie attacks during the day to the night missions this adventures game definitely caught my attention. Many of the weapons the Humans use are very strange, from noodles that you use in swimming pools to socks, and even marshmallows. I didn't know that marshmallows, socks, and noodles stunned Zombies; l wonder what movie that's from? Parkside's Association of Wargamers (PAW) had an remarkable idea when throwing this event, even though only about 60 students played. I know that next year there will be so many more players just because of how unique this event was. This event brought plenty of people together from lots of different organizations and others not in any organizations at all. r ,. JV^^lei1 * first got involved 1 chdn t want to be turned into a Zombie because I thought it wouldn't be fun. I found out that being a Zombie is more fun than being a Human because Humans can only wait to be attacked and Zombies get to team up together and go hunting. Friday night April 24, 2009 at 8:00 a mission started-the Humans had to "save rescuers" that got attacked by Zombies. The Humans would meet at a place in the school and wait for the E-mail that would tell them where to go. The Zombies had to find out where the Humans would be and attack. At first I started out with the Humans looking around every corner and end hoping to not see any Zombies. I ended up with the Zombies in the middle of the mission, getting pelted by marshmallows. This mission lasted about two hours and I was not paying attention to the time one bit. I must give props to the Parkside Association of Wargamers for bring this even to us for it was one of the college experiences I was not looking for but glad I found. I just hope this event continues for years to come because next time I will turn someone into a Zombie, you mark my words, even if this game scared me for life. Lemonade BY MICHAEL RIEDLINGER riedl001@uwp.edu May 2009 Graduate Next month, several hundred students will achieve the goal they have been working towards for lour, or let's be honest, five plus years. These students, myself among them, will be walking in the graduation ceremonies to take place here at Parkside. We will stand proud, looking out "to the crowd to see the smiling faces of the friends we have made, the family who have supported us, and the faculty who have fostered us over these long... Waft a second... The faculty may well not be there at all! In fact, if something happens to the lemon squares they have been promised as an incentive to show up in the first place, we might not see any of the professors we have come to respect and whose respect we hope we have earned in return. There isn't a rule or bylaw that requires them to be present at our commencement, nor should one truly be required. After all, who but the faculty would know better the time and effort spent acquiring an undergrad or graduate diploma? There is a sense of pride and tradition we all have upon reaching our mutual goal, and I for one would like to think that the mentors arid champions of higher education I have had the privilege to learn from would be there to celebrate, not only our accomplishments, but theirs as well. . Not every student graduates Just ask the members of Alpha Sigma Lambda, many of whom are graduating after many years of hard work and perseverance. To receive a Bachelors Degree takes a solid investment of time, energy, and sacrifice. Some are finally reaching that most ultimate of goals only after their second of third attempt. That the goal has been attained certainly has meaning, and we who have attained it wish to share our victory with everyone who has helped us get there. That includes the professors who have helped shape us as scholars in our own right. One afternoon, a few hours in the very twilight of our scholastic sojourn, is all we ask of them. We want them, of all the shepherds we have come to know, to bear witness to the final pulse of energy before our chrysalises crack and we take flight on the wings they so carefully spent years fostering. We h ave a right to be proud of the dreams we have realized, and all we ask is that they join us in celebration of the quest they have helped us complete. I encourage all of the faculty reading this to join us in that celebration on May 16, 2009. 1 personally invite all the professors who have seen me through to this end to attend the ceremony you yourselves once enjoyed. I think everyone graduating this May should do the same. Stop your professors in the halls, or swing by their offices unannounced, and invite them personally to join us in the final moments of this, one of our greatest achievements.

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

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

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

The Oak Creek High School Marching Band was split in two and performed in two shows because there were too many students. The production was well received by students, "especially when the band came on. That was a lot of fun," said Kristin Gauger- Kiraly, a freshman majoring in math with two teaching certificates and a music minor. The show also featured a live pit orchestra. The Music Man is an American musical that takes place in River City, Iowa in 1912. A traveling salesman under the pseudonym Harold Hill makes a living by convincing small towns that they need a kids' band, selling them instruments, instruction books and uniforms, and leaving before the children even learn how to play. Trying his hand at the unfriendly River City, Hill and the town find that some things are more important than money. The show is known for the popular songs "76 Trombones" and "Till There Was You." Some of the many allusions to classical plays, music, and other sources were explained in the program, along with names of writers, composers, a racehorse; and other people mentioned in the play. KELSEYHOFF HotT0013@uwp.edu The University of Wisconsin- Parkside Theatre Arts Department has finished its year on a high note with Meredith Willson's "The Music Man". Directed by Dean Yohnk, the production took place in the UW-Parkside Communication Arts Theatre. The leading roles, Harold Hill and Marion Paroo were played by Karl Gfall and Robyn Schneider. The production was unique in a number of ways. No music majors were cast because of a scheduling conflict with a Music Department choral performance. The cast was made up of theatre majors or minors and children from the community. Four KELSEY HOFF HofTO013@uwp.edu Jason Lee is an independent contractor and chef who makes the Pan-Asian food for the University of Wisconsin-Parkside and other schools and hospitals in the area. He currently has an account with Aramark, the food service company at UW-Parkside, and other locations. Aramark's contract is up and next year Sodexo will be taking over with a contract lasting up to seven years. This could be a great opportunity for all of the changes students would like to see with the food service, but it could also mean that Jason will lose this account. Lee is ready and willing to negotiate with Sodexo and he. hopes that they can see him as an asset to U\Y-Parkside's community. His company, Foodville, is local; with a strong start in Illinois, he has expanded north and hopes to move the center of his business nearer to Kenosha. That will lower the cost of his food on campus because he will not have to travel as far to get here. This all depends on how Sodexo sees Lee's company interacting with the community. He has made strong connections with Chef Joe Tominaro and Angela Jensen, Aramark managers who will have to reapply for their jobs. "Those are the two main people that I rely on," said Lee; "They give me the creativity, the freedom, and the support to develop a relationship with the students and improve our food quality." Lee and Jensen have been discussing a more extensive dinner menu featuring the more popular Cafe Creations and possibly a noodle bar. Though Sedexo will be able to talk directly to them, they will have a harder time hearing from the students. Lee says that comments from students should be emailed to DeAnn Possehl, the Director of Student Life. The Cafe^ Creations line at Brickstone Grill is long on Wednesdays. Students wait patiently to buy fresh, authentic Asian food made right in front of them by Lee, some staying for a few minutes to chat. He has a bit of a following; besides asking students about the food, he has also worked with student organizations like PAO. They organized a free spring roll workshop with Lee, who "can relate to the students," according to Ourlee Ourun, PAO treasurer and junior majoring in business finance. "He's a very approachable person," she said, and he is "willing, to help the orgs." Other students buy his packaged food throughout the rest of the week and many do not realize that he comes in every day to make it in advance. Lee was born in South Korea and moved to a suburb of Chicago in 1992. He is "maybe only one of three other workers of Asian descent," said Philip Noinaj, a junior majoring in accounting and PAO representative. "He contributes to diversity in their workplace." Noinaj is also of Asian descent and frequently comes to school early to purchase Lee's Cafe Creations. LEFT out CULTURE The Ranger News . J^KIRST logos, to minting a A . , . son the JO KIRST jo@ therangernews.com This past week, four senior art majors had their student showcase in the art gallery in the Communication Arts building. Andy Adamak, Juan Munoz, Josh Frazer, and Tony Kinnard were the featured artists in this senior show, and all showcased some excellent work. With a large variation in drawing styles, mediums, and moods, the artists' pieces ranged from long-standing webcomics to simple animations, sketchbooks, demo reels, websites and studio logos, to paintings. Adamak had a more complex 3D animation featuring the Dead Parrot skit Irorn Monty Python's Hying Circus which could be heard throughout the gallery as it played on a continuous loop. Artist Andy Adamak spent at least 120 hours on all his pieces lor the show, which included a comic, sketches, a website, the 3D animation, a demo reel, and a series of prints entitled "Life C ode', which is programming code printed over graphics, going through the cycle of life—birth to death. Adamak liked all his pieces for different reasons. Some showed his humorous side such as Life in the Jungle, a comic featuring a rather sinister, depressed lion who is held in captivity at a zoo. Other pieces showed a more serious side to his artwork. Josh Frazer spent an entire semester on his pieces, although Nautilus was a continuation of a webcomic he had previously been working on. He commented that all the pieces in the show turned out nice, and he could not pick a favorite. When asked about the challenges they faced, Adamak and Frazer had different answers Frazer found the gallery to be a "huge space" at first, and was nervous about collaborating with the others. Adamak had some technical difficulties with his projector and DVD player for the Dead Parrot skit, although everything turned out in the end. After graduation these two artists will be continuing in art. Adamak will be spending a summer in California, and hopes to get into animation or web development after. Frazer is hoping for a job in comics or graphic design, and intends to continue Nautilus. Frazer also commented that there are a lot of cartoonists at Parksidc, and he would like to see them meet up at some point, share information, and perhaps collaborate on projects.

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

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

Support for these programs comes in four ways: training mentors, training professional staff, certification for the programs, and recruitment. Mentor Kenosha & Racine defines mentoring as "a structured and trusting relationship designed to offer mutual guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing compassion, competence, and character" . Between the two counties, over 75 mcnroring programs strive to accomplish this goal. Me Kenosha & Racine's . is to educate an these programs so y can meet their for mentoring programs is an in-depth process. Organizations must demonstrate their mastery of subject matter, such as "General organizational well-being", the design and planning of their program, management of the program, and finally, their evaluation of the program. Once a program is certified, the Mentor Kenosha & Racine organization will help the mentor program recruit new mentors. Mentors and mentoring professionals receive support in the form of training and staff development opportunities. Workshop topics include "Mentoring At-Risk Youth", "Recruiting and Retaining Quality Mento " "Screening and ew Mentors". entor Kenosha & Racine helps certified organizations recruit new members by creating community partnerships. Community partnerships are created with businesses, corporations, churches, universities, public officials, and other groups. Those who choose to become partners "financially support. the mentoring community", as well as recruit new mentors within their organization, while raising awareness about mentoring. Community partnerships are an "everyone wins" situation: the mentoring programs receive new mentors and get their name out in the public, while the businesses receive an enhanced image, increased visibility within the community, and th.e chance to provide their employees with a "unique opportunity for personal growth". Currently there are three certified mentoring programs: Big BrotherslBig Sisters of Racine and Kenosha, the Boys and Girls club of Kenosha, and the Circle of Hope. San Juan Diego Middle School is in the process of being certified. "We've got issues" • acne Mentor Kenosha & Racine has several events coming up. On Sept. 25th, there will be an interactive training session about the building blocks of a mentor! menteerelationship. It will be held in the Orchard Room at Tallent Hall, and registration begins at 6:00pm. On Oct. 31, the organization will be holding a launch in Main Place. The Mentor Keuosha & Racine Launch will feature several community partners speaking about the program, in addition to serving as a recruitment opportunity. There are events planned for Nov. and Dec. as well.

Thankfully, things are picking up around here. We're getting closer to a solid staff list for the semester, which means our issues should start to be much more consistent in terms of content and length. Even though I'm excited about having a good staff, we can always use more writers! If you are an English major, this is the perfect opportunity for you as you'll need an internship to graduate. We can get you set up with an internship, and hopefully you'll like it enough to return. Never written a news article before? Not a problem I We're always here to help. Everyone's gotta start someplace. Campus activities are increasing in number. which means we will have a harder time keeping up with everything. This also means that we will rely more and more on you, the readers, to inform us of an event coming up that we may otherwise miss. The Ranger News staff does their best, but we're just humans, so obviously we won't know of everything that goes on at Parkside. The goals for this semester SLICEr are to stay on top of the news on campus. This includes things like discussing the Amethyst Initiative, the VIP program sponsored by PSGA, an interview with our Interim Chancellor, and Plan B being offered at the Student Health and Counseling Center. U you have a news tip for us, please email us at rangemews@gmail. com! I would also like to get a solid staff list for the year, not just the semester-while I realize people are graduating and whatnot, I would hope those that are not will stick around for another semester. It will. help us to effectively publish issues that are more centered around campus issues. This may be more difficult than I realize right now, but we're certainly going to try. I hope you all like our issues so far this semester, and I hope you're looking forward to future issues! See you next week, enjoy the issue!

University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Student Newspaper - September 30, 2008 News Since 1972 - V.I.P MOLLIE EGAN mollie@therangemews.com Accidents happen, especially when sex- is involved. Fortunately, Plan B emergency contraception is now available for students at the University of Wisconsin - Parkside, Sandra Leicht, the Nurse Practitioner at the Student Health and Counseling Center (SHCC), took the initiative to make sure students at UW-Parkside had the chance to get Plan B. Students had been asking for the pili to be at UW-Parkside and Leicht obliged them by adding Itto tbe list of over-the-counter medications tbat the SHCC orders. It will cost students $35 togetPlan B at the SHCC but, as farasLeicht knows it is cheaper thangelling it at a Walgreen's. Plan B is an emergency Contraception that prevents pregnancy after birth control r.,ls--for example, broken Condoms, missing two or more consecutive birth control pills Or be' ' p mg late for the next Depo p;overa shot. Leicht said that h an B could also be used after d aVlng unprotected sex. Leicht Des caution that using this med· . . lcatlon will not. stop an eXlstino .I 0 pregnancy or protect glr S . d. agamst sexually transmitted lseases such as gonorrhea, Chlamydia or HIY. "Plan B" Leicht said, "Is most effective when taken as soon as possible after unprotected vaginal intercourse." Plan B works by giving the body a short, high, burst of a synthetic hormone (Levonorgestrel, a hormone used in birth controJ pulls for over 35 years), which disrupts hormone patterns needed for pregnancy. Plan B may be effective up to 12!l hours (5 days) after intercourse, but it is most effective within the first 24 hours. Plan Bean reduce the risk of pregnancy by 75-89%. Leicht says that Plan B should not be used as regular birth control, and she adds that other birth control methods are much better at keeping a woman from becoming pregnant. Students can go to the SHCC and meet with a nurse or the nurse practitioner where everything is strictly confidential. The nurse will ask a few questions to make. sure that the girl is not allergic to the medication and to make sure they need the medication. Leicht says that students should consider certain things before they go to the SHCC ro obtain Plan B or for any visit a student might make, She said that students should write down any questions they have in advance, to prevent forgotten questions. Leicht also said that students should feeJ free to take notes during their visit. She explained that students shouldn't be afraid to speak up; "If you don't understand something, ask to have it explained again. Ask all the questions you need to and don't leave without understanding everything you have been told." Leicht stressed that students should be honest about themselves, and said that students shouldn't be embarrassed to describe their symptoms. health and sexual history. "For when students are truthful," Leicht said. "they can get the proper care that they need." Leicht suggested students should provide a list of their medications; tbis includes prescription drugs, over-the- counter medications. vitamins. herbal remedies and other supplements. Lastly, Leicht said that students should feel free to bring someone with them when they visit SHCC. If the student needs moral support or if it helps the student to relax; they should ask a partner, friend or a family member to go with them. He or she can also remind the student of questions to ask and can help the student remember what was said. "·We've got issues" 2 September 30, 2008 900 Wood Road Kenosha.

ASSOCIAYIJ) I think for the most part, we're doing well this semester. We've managed to come up with a handful of news stories for each issue (sometimes less is more-take this week's issue, for example), have a steady stream of arts and culture pieces, a "revived" sports page, and several other improvements to the paper as "whole. . , l'viy'persoh1ll avorite, though, has to be the sudden influx of new members. At our Sept. 26th meeting, we had over 20 people in the office! That's almost everyone on staff, and knowing that totally made my day. The only downside to this is that we may have to change the meeting space. since we all barely fit in the office ...hut we'lJ jump that hurdle when we get to it. Right now, I am happy to have so many staff to help lighten the workload. Unfortunately, with the good must come the bad. We've discovered' that we can't open Microsoft's new file extension. The Ranger News ".docx'', which has caused us problems on more than one - occasion. Unrelated, but still unfortunate: I've noticed that people have begun to "advertise" their events on our newsstands by leaving a stack of fliers next to the newspaper, or even replacing the newspapers with their fliers. This is the part where I play "newspaper police" and remind everyone: Our news tands are NOT a pnblic display board, and should not be used as such. The Ranger News and the other little "freebie" papers are the ONLY papers that belong on those newsstands. If you'd like to advertise with us, please contact Gia or Zak (find their emails in the staff list on your left). Along these lines, I've gotten a few emails from students wbo wish to have articles published in The Ranger News. I'm going to remind everyone that opinions should follow ALL the opinion guidelines.

AdJOurnment I have a passion for politics and vote in every single election and primary, whether it is a national presidential election or a local election for the city council or school board. Sometimes the media does not do a good enough job of providing information about local issues and elections, but there are so many nonpartisan, credible sources for information on national issues and elections that I find it impossible to understand why people would NOT vote. We live in a democracy, in which our country's direction and the policies pursued by our leaders are determined by our choices. These choices touch every single aspect of our lives: how we educate our children; how we take care ofthe old, the poor, and the disabled; how we keep our country secure and safe; how we save for the future; how we take care of the environment we live in; how we pay for our health care; and how we compete for jobs and resources in the global marketplace. The only way to empower yourself in a democracy is to exercise your right as a citizen: in the voting booth, you get to choose.

The concert was held in Communication Ana D118 on Wednesday, Sept. 24, starting promptly at noon. When it started, the music instantly grabbed my ears and forced me to listen to its tales. Alexander Sascha Mandl was the violist who bas earned notable recognition amongst many orchestras and symphonies including: Concertmaster Fieldhouse. Registration ends on Oct. 7, and those who are participating are reminded to bring a sweatshirt to donate to a local shelter. There are several more events scheduled as part of Willy Wonka's Fall Fest, but we wouldn't want to spoil your appetite for fun! of the Beloit-Janesville Symphony Orchestra, Assistant Concertmaster oftbe Milwaukee Chamber Orchestra. and guest Concertmaster of the Kenosha Symphony. Alvaro Garcia. the Associate Professor of Music at lJW-Parkside, was the. skillful hands behind the violin. The first piece they performed together gave a nostalgic flair of social gatherings. such as a wedding and one cou Id i magi ne the twirling of white lace.' and the throwing of bouquets. It didn't take long for the audience to see that these two gentlemen were highly skilled and capable of fluidity. When Carl Starnitz's (the song's original composer from the early nineteenth century era) sophisticated melody ended, Dr. Mandl and Mr. Garcia received much applause from an admiring audience. After a brief two-minute pause, Dr. Mandl retired "backstage", while Mr. Garcia returned with Alejandro Alumbreros, a pianist not unfamiliar with the University of Wisconsin- Parkside; he has often held nooo recitals and has received a Masters in Music at Carnegie Mellon University. Mr. A1umbreros clearly showed his skills on the piano as he and Mr. Garcia performed "Harold in Italy". composed by Hector Berlioz in the late nineteenth century. The song had energetic explosions both expressed by the piano and viola and then it would sink into a melancholic? meditative state, only to rush back up in a surge of newfound energy. It was an instrumental anthem of the seasons of youth. After the gentlemen eased into a softened end to an adventurous tune, the audience responded with rapid applause; as if the song had given them an unknown source of enthusiasm. To bring the concert to a close. the masterful musicians chose to play ".!lip Pieces Op. 83". composed by Max Bruch in the late ll\neteej,1th Cdltury. This piece ~ed a harmomoos balance -;,.t>etweel\ 1be \bJ<'e c1airvoy&1lt ",!R~nts. The piano was the stroo&!!J!\n llOldiDgj; the barbell.pf'1:Onsdatmey, while the violin and viola weN' acrobatic twins that elegantly flipped about in gymnastic grace. Together, they designed a delightful orchestrated tale that equally higb!j~ their' unique voices arid capabnjtjea. Once the song ended, the audience showered Dr. Mend\, Mr. Garcia and Mr. Alumbreros with a few, long minutes of their natural percussion instruments. Being accustomed with such concerts. the three gentlemen smiled and bowed respectively which produced another spike of applause before everyone rose to vacate the room. Chamber music is more than "black squiggles 'On paper". It is the embodiment of unspeakable raw emonons- some of which cause the average person to stammer like a fool. Prom trilling out tunes of ecstatic days, to the solemn, sober dirges of tragedy, chamber music may as well be JIesh and blood walking around upon lands far and near. One doesn't have to be royalty or "well educated" to understand the depth of thia genre; one just npods to have open ears and an -open heart.

Comments/Announoemellrs i.Executive ii Senau: iii S!UdeDt YD. Adjoummonl Much has been said these last few weeks about power, responsibility, and duty. These are all very strong words, and for a reason. The one I want you to think about is "power". Alone, we have none. We are the scattered student body of a small Wisconsin University. We mayor may not vote, so why should anyone, especially politicians, care? Many of you likely think we are powerless, we are not. One of my favorite anecdotes from U.s. History is the one where Ben Franklin brought a bunch of twigs into the assembled, but certainly not unified, Conti- nental Congress. He picked up one of his sticks and broke it. Then he bundled the remaining thirteen, and showed that he could not. From this we get the phrase "united we stand, divided we fall". It holds water for us even today. On October 8th, a mere week away, we have the opportunity to do something unprecedented that will send a message to politicians across the country. We have power, and we know it. By getting out and voting early, we can illustrate that we are not only able to uphold our civic duty, but that we are fervent in our desire to participate in our own welfare and well-being. Next week, we will announce to the surrounding cities, our state, and our country that we want to be heard and that our opinion matters, but it only works of we do it together. If you can't make it out next Wednesday, then come down to the PSGA office in Wylie and we will help you find where you can vote. We can help get you registered to vote as well. This isn't about what party you vote for, or which candidate follows the same dogma as you; it is about letting all of those people know that we exist and that we matter. So come on folks, we're buying the tickets, you just need to take the ride. On October 8, PARKSIDE VOTES! Michael C. Riedlinger PSGA Public Relations Director Win reimbursment for your parking pass!

JOKIRST jo@therangernews.com Due to the unsuccessful search for a new Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin- Parks ide, an Interim Chancellor was picked by the University of Wisconsin System to temporarily fill Chancellor Keating's place. The UW System asked Dr. Lane Earns to step up and temporarily lead UW-Parkside, until a permanent Chancellor is found. The Ranger News got a chance to sit down with Chancellor Earns and ask him a few questions so that the campus as a whole can get to know him better. Dr. Lane Earns was born and raised in Michigan, and went to Michigan State University to obtain his undergraduate degree in high school education, focusing on history. Right before he graduated, he spent two months in Japan as part of a study abroad program, which eventually changed the direction of his studies. He returned from Japan one year tater. Earns was one of seven American picked to return to Japan, where they went to different parts of Japan to help teach English in Japanese schools. Earns went to Nagasaki for one year as part of this program. Today, that program is called the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme (JET program). and has around 6,000 members. Chancellor Earns then went to the University of Hawaii for his Masters degree in Asian Studies, and then went back to Japan to teach English at a women's college, He returned to the University of Hawaii to work towards his PhD in Japanese History. He won a Japan Foundation Dissertation Grant, which allowed him to conduct his dissertation research at the University of Tokyo for one year. He spent two more years in Nagasaki while finishing his degree. In 1987, he went to the University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh, and was a professor of world history and Asian American history. Eventually, he became the chair of the history department. In 2002, he became the Associate Vice Chancellor, and in 2004, he served as the Interim Provost and Vice Chancellor. In 2005, he served as the Provost and Vice Chancellor, and stated in that position until coming to Parkside in Aug. 2008. In 2008, he was asked by the University of Wisconsin System to fiJI the position of Interim Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside. and accepted the position. Earns remarked that the position "seemed like an important job, and something that my particular abilities would he able to help". Dr. Earns was familiar with the UW System, having been part of Oshkosh's campus for years, and he knew several people from Parkside who helped fill him in with information. To him, it seemed like an excellent chance for leadership, and an "opportunity not only to help the system but to be part of a very strong campus", Earns thinks that Parkside is a beautiful campus, and he couldn't have been welcomed any better. A lot of work was put into the Chancellor's house near campus to make it livable- -the house needed some general maintenance. in order to be brought back to top form. He has had "nothing but good things to say" about his experience thus far. Parkside is a smaller campus than he's used to, bUI he finds that a smaller campus allows him to get to know more people and get to know those people a Littleeasier. Earns finds the new Continued 10 )(/~t 3 The Ameth~ t Initiative and responsible drinking Drunk Driving's (and other such groups') outcry about this issue. and the poor media coverage of this discussion as a result. the Amethyst Initiative just wants to engage those outraged groups into talking about the real problem--the poor education that minors receive about responsible drinking. Amethyst Initiative? First, it meant that he believed that "we -need to a serious, sustained, unfettered debate about how closely public policy- -specifically the drinking age-- and the reality of tife in campus community are aligned" .As such, Keating signed on to participate in a nation-wide discussion of this issue. and to explain the place of alcohol in our own campus community. Why name it the "Amethyst Initiative"? "Amethyst" is derived from two Ancient Greek words: "not" (a-), and "intoxicated" (methustos). Thus, "Amethyst Initiative", or the "Not-Intoxicated Initiative". tn Greek. mythology, Amethyst was a young girl who "incurred the wrath of the God Dionysus after he became intoxicated with red wine," Amethyst cried oUI to Goddess Diana for help, who turned Amethyst into a white stone. When Dionysus realized what had happened, he cried. His tears fell into his goblet of wine, which promptly spilled over and onto the white rock, turning it purple. According to the "about" section' of amethystiuitative.org: " The purple gemstone, amethyst, was widely believed to be an antidote to the negative effects of intoxication. [... J The amethyst is thus a meaningful symbol for this initiative, which aims to encourage moderation and responsibility as an alternative £0 the drunkenness and reckless decisions about alcohol that mark the experience of many young Americans."

Illustrious painting material! Might I add to the list turkeys, elephants, and babies being born straight at you? If this sounds like it's up your alley, hop on over to our very own art gallery, which happens to be featuring a dual show by Benjamin Swallow Duke and Teresa Dunn! Both artists have used oil paint to depict social interactions, in scenes that range from ecstatic to shocking. Through the manipulation of their environments, Duke and Dunn convey interesting realities. Benjamin Swallow Duke, a Kentucky native, has a very gestural style of painting. In "Permanent City Catastrophe." viewers see a graphic and chaotic city street, abound with individuals tbat are puking, shooting at one another, juggling junk food, and toppling boxes threatening to fall. A sense of unbalance and angst pervades, while barf, blood, and birth relate a shocking human truth- violence and the dirtiness of simply being human is relevant everyday, on every street. Skillful perspectives In Photos: RACHEL DELEON eliteleona@yahoo.com abound in his works, most of which depict beautiful city scenes with a plentiful barrage of social happenings. In a seamless flow to the nex.t artist. Teresa Dunn enables you to see into each figure's thoughts, making you feel .like a visual eavesdropper. Object and intimate human interaction is relayed in rich. painterly manner. She plays with reality, packing her interior scenes with seemingly unrelated figures, such as a baked goose, a real goose, and a figure lying behind-up on a doctor's table. Objects seem to move due 10 the interplay of lights and darks, mingled with roiling texture. You can feel her working the brush marks in an incredibly physical way, leaving passionate marks that can really stand up on their own two feet. Instead of being smoothed over, they are read on several levels as being part of a process. While Duke hegs the question, "Is this the way the worJd is in this work?" Teresa Dunn "delves into a world where animals. food and other objects are important as human characters." These two masterfully appropriate ambiguous images and assemble them into something chaotic. Come take a gander and bring your own sense of reality. Even after centuries of our forefathers figbting slavery. it still exists in this free country. Over half a million people suffer from this sinister, underworld crime; half are children and the scariest fact of all may be that much of America doesn't even know its ex.istence. This crime is called human trafficking. Human trafficking is the illegal transportation of people into other countries of which, they are forced to become sex toys, prostitutes, domestic slaves, soldiers or unwilling organ donors. These victims are mostly women and children from poor, uneducated countries who are given these false ideas of prosperity, stardom, or a loving home. -And tragically, these naive innocents are thrown into a sludge pool of physical and mental abuse, deception and loss of self-image. How can so many people be trapped in the nightmarish whirlpool of human trafficking and hardly anybody brings up the subject in newspapers or television? It's quite simple: the victims have too much fear and not-enough communication skills to get help. As stated before, most of the women and children are from developing countries such as Latin America, Africa, and the former Soviet Union, India and Asia. They never learned English or know very little of it and so they become easy prey for the traffickers. Another reason is that in other countries, women and children aren't valued as highly as men and so they are expendable. And when they become enslaved, the traffickers "season" them by gang raping, beating and psychologically degrading them until their humanity breaks. II's a horrible way to live and .die. Fortunately, there are people who have been abJe to see the grotesque tumor on America's back; people like Guadalupe Vidales, Gina Allende, and Darius Alernzadeh, who have the passionate dream of spreading the word about human trafficking and finding ways to put an end to it. These three spoke at the human trafficking meeting on OCL 8 at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. They revealed that there are many different types of human trafficking: child soldiers, sex trafficking, domestic service. organ trafficking, illegal adoption and forced marriage. Children soldiers, where innocent children are raised to shoot weapons and serve in the miJitary, are the least in demand. while sexual exploitation is at its highest._ Guadalupe Vidales. assistant professor for the study of criminal justice, explained that Thailand openly embraces prostitution as a sturdy pillar of their economy. Many parents sell their children to pimps; disillusioned by the pimps' positive speeches of how their children will become very successful and rich. Other times, parents just sell their kids for the sake of drugs or becoming debt free. She also said that the police force there is hardly protection because they're paid off by the pimps to allow their girls to cross borders that would be otherwise illegal to do. With a country like that, it's no wonder why these girls feel trapped, helpless, and alone. After the meeting was done, I was able to speak to one of Professor Vidales' students and volunteer to study human trafficking across the globe. Her name was Amanda, a senior at Parks ide, and she decided to study domestic violence-a branch off of criminal justice-and that eventually led her to the subject of human trafficking. Her desire grew exponentially and it became her dream to see this issue brought to light by the media and even in today's politics. "I think it's sad that not many people know that this is going on." Amanda said to me.

The smell of fresh popcorn with six different seasoning salts for toppings drew many a sweet tootb to the event. Main Place of Wyllie Hall became a Wonka- like cornucopia of sugar: two different flavors of cotton candy, ice-cream floats, and a chocolate fountain with apples. pretzels, and cake to drown in it. All these treats filled the bellies of many students. A blueberry pie-eating contest took place earlier at the event and got a few laughs. We even had a model dressed up as Willy Wonka that was handing out toothbrushes to help prevent cavities. At Snakes Alive you could sign your team up for the dodge ball tournament, and you could make a guess of . how many Nerds were in a jar. Whoever guessed correctly won an iPod. Overall the kickoff was a success and made us look forward to Fall Fest events to come. The Snakes Alive part of the show was entertaining, (if you Iike reptiles crawl ing on you), and the food was great. The University of Wisconsin-Parkside kicked off the week of Fall Fest in Main Place from 11a.m till 1p.m on Oct. 6.

This bumped the Rangers down to a 6-12 record overall and a 2-7 record in the conference, while raising Southern Indiana's record to 9-10 overall and 3-6 in the conference. A real factor in the game's outcome were two costly sets that actually fell negative for the Parkside Rangers. Addie Kramer of the Rangers still managed 13 kills, 4 aces, and 3 blocks on the game. Along with her contribution, Kristin Schmidt managed 8 kills, I ace, and 2 blocks in an attempt to resurrect the Rangers. This was a crucial The University of Wisconsin- Parks ide Rangers were upset by the Southern Indiana Screaming Eagles in Oct. 4's women's volleyball game. This was all part of the Great Lakes Valley Conference women's volleyball match in the DeSimone Gymnasium at Parks ide. Although the Screaming Eagles pulled away with a victory on the first set of 25- 19, the Rangers came back with a vengeance in the second set clinching a 25- 19 victory. Unfortunately for the Rangers, Southern Indiana didn't hesitate to lock up the next two sets at 25-18 and 25-14. The third staple in the Parkside momentum. However, Meg Bushman of Southern Indiana countered much of the Rangers offense with 7 blocks along with 11 kills, making it for a tough game. Along with her team's combined effort the Screaming Eagles proved to be a force to be reckoned with, managing to put up a .935 average for the team serve percentage. The Parkside Rangers are still remaining positive despite this loss, and a loss on Thursday, Oct. 9 to the University of Missouri- SI. Louis. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rang~rs represent at home ROB HANSEN Hanse082@uwp.edu running a personal best 19:06. "I didn't feel as comfortable this race as [ have in weeks past," said Heidi after her race. She shaved off twenty-three seconds from her time on this same course only three weeks ago. The story was similar for third place runner, Hope Christie, who ran twenty- nine seconds faster than she did three weeks ago. She crossed the line in 19:30, the 31st college athlete. Also competing for Parkside was Angie Adams who ran 19:57 and Heidi Andersen who finished in 20:37. The Ranger women finished 5th out of 31 teams and only ten points out of 2nd place. Nationally ranked D.II and NAIA teams dominated the team championship standings. Ferris State University scored a meet low 98 points followed by Indiana Tech with 159, Indiana Wesleyan with 185, Aquinas College with 194 and UW-Parkside with 195 points. On the men's side of the venue, lone senior, Rob Hansen was the only UW-Parkside competitor in the 5,000-m race. He finished in 32nd 'place. Because Parkside only fielded one athlete, they were incapable of scoring. In the 8,000-m race, the Ranger men finished 5th place out of 28 teams. Indiana Tech University scored 36 points to capture the victory followed closely by Aquinas College who scored 68 points. Fresno Pacific University, coming all the way from California, staffed a third place finish, scoring 122 points. They were closely followed by Indiana Wesleyan with 153 points and the UW-Parkside Ranger men with 185 points. This was Parks ide 's best finish at the Lucian Rosa Invite in four years. The individual race was dominated by Cameron Walter of Indiana Tech winning by 28 seconds. His finishing time was 25: 14. Parkside's top finisher The University of Wisconsin- Parkside men's and women's cross-country tearns hosted the Lucian Rosa Invite on Saturday October 11,2008 on the Wayne E. Dannehl National Cross Country Course. This event featured four races; the women's 4,OOO-m and 5,000-m and the men's 5,000-m and 8,000,m. Early morning temperatures hung .in the mid-Sus and led most to believe it would be a crisp autumn cross country morning, but as the sun rose through the October sky, so did the temperature, which peaked out at 70 degrees with the sun beating down forcefully. The women's 4,OOO-m was controlled by Lindenwood University and UW-Parkside. The race was dominated by Francine Nzilampa of Lindenwood University, who finished in 14:36. The first UW-Parkside finisher was Whitney Olson who crossed the line in 15:49. Jessica Enderby was the next Parkside finisher at 15:57. Jennie Kindt, Amber Mc.clure and Kim Degener ran step for step, side by side from the middle of the pack toward the front passing nearly twenty runners each to finish l lth - L3th all at 16:04. It was very exciting to see the Ranger women's split squad run so successfully and finish so close together. The women's 5,000-m run was a little more star-studded. Senior Jessica Monson competed in her final home meet at UW- Parks ide. bringing home a sensational second place finish. Her final time was l7:42. The winner, Justyna Mudy from Shorter College, ran a 17:26 5K. She took control of the race from the gun and extended her lead as much as twent¥ seconds during the race. Heidi Ertl, a junior from Marshfield, WI, finished 15th among collegiate runners, . " w.as Rehan Mahmood, who ran a course personal-best time of 26:26. ·When The Ranger News spoke with Rehan after the race he explained that he was surprised by the team's fifth place finish: "Initially, when I looked at our times, I didn't think we had run very strong as a team, so when I saw the team scores, I was pleasantly surprised." When asked about his personal performance, he commented, "I was happy to overcome the less-than-perfect conditions. Hopefully my teammates and I can keep up our momentum." Other Ranger scorers were Ben Orvold in 27:00, freshmen Alex Mena and Sam Albrecht running 27: II and 27: 14 respectively, and Dustin Baldwin who crossed the line in 27:38. The Ranger News also caught a word with sophomore Bryan McLoone after the race. "I ran faster than three weeks ago, but it certainly wasn't my best effort," was McLoone's opinion on the event. Mcl.oone added that he was in desperate need of water midway through the race, on his second ascent up the "giant, green llill." The Rangers had a successful day on the cross-country course, as they gear up for the post season. The men have the week off, where as the women will travel to UW-Oshkosh for the Brooks Invitational at Lake Breezey Golf Course next Saturday afternoon. The following week, Oct. 25th both the men's and women's teams will travel to the University of Missouri-Rolla for the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Champinnship meet. , ....... , ..

Students involved in this project include Justin Chappelle, Michelle Dolnik, and Cory Tussler. When Ward was asked what be expected from the project, he said, "Two things, 1 expect the students will learn to develop, manage, and complete a GIS project. I also expect the students to develop a connection to the neighborhood." The data collected will be used to produce a neighborhood atlas showing the assets within tbe area. Usually, the focus of community development is CHRISTIAN SHACKELFORD Sback002@uwp.edu This year, Professor John Ward's Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) class is continuing a project In the Racine area. The class is looking at physical assets and demographic data within the Racine River North district. This "We've got issues" on needs. By taking an "asset- based" approach to community development, the focus is on the already-existing assets within tbe neighhorhood. The plan is to make the data available online and to use it, along with other data, to create a "resource directory" for the neighborhood. The project is planned to run through May 2009. Next semester, many of the students will be using tbe data in his Advanced GIS class. "It's important to try and make the place we live better," Ward said. The Geographic Information Systems project is a learning experience, and it helps to connect the students to their community. It involves the students' direct efforts to make their community better while providing awonderful learning opportunity. 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595·2295 Ads: uwp_odsOyohoo.c:om E-mail: rangemewsOgmall.c:om dllor In Chi.'

If something comes up and a reporter can't get their article in by deadline, I have been able to work something out with that reporter so that we still have an article, but they get some extra time to finish it. I think this works well for everybody. Along the same lines, we're slowly but surely improving our content as well. Now that we have some reliable reporters, we are able to cover more events and issues each week. Coming up we'll have an update on PSGA and what's happening with them, information on the Green Bike Project, more student organization profiles, an interview with UWPPD, and more things that I can't really think of right now. We're looking to give The Ranger News something fresh. At our last staff meeting, we tossed around some ideas. Some of these are plausible, some are a challenge but might work, and some (unfortunately) are just out of the question. So now I ask you guys. What would you like to see in future issues of The Ranger ou News? Some puzzles? More comics? More reviews of movies, restaurants, videogames? Recipes that are quick, easy, and healthy? Something completely different? Let us know! We'd love to hear your suggestions. Email us at rangernewsripgmail.ccm, call us, or stop by and let us know.

Riedlinger last semester I wrote an editorial piece for the Ranger News about why you should give a damn about Student Government. I don't know how many people noticed, but I know Theodore Ruffalo did. Now he's president of the Parkside Student Government Association, and he and Senate have made it my job to make sure you, our fellow students, understand what they are doing and why it matters, so here it goes. First, it's important to understand what PSGA isn't. The Parkside Student Government Association is not like your high local school student council. coming up with dumb fundraisers just to keep busy. PSGA is not a political science club, nor does it care what major you have chosen. It is also not a closed-session, clandestine organization looking to pull one over on anyone. PSGA is a state-mandated organization under Wisconsin Statute 36.09(5). In essence, the State law grants students of any given institution of higher learning the right to actively participate in the governance and policy development of their school. It also grants the organization the right to collect and distribute fees to support student activities on their campus. These fees currently run about $5,000,000. In short, PSGA is the means by which all of you have a say in what goes on at UW-Parkside, and how the University is run. That's right; we all have a hand in saying who runs this place and what food we eat. We help decide the difference between academic probation and academic suspension. When the University needs a new Chancellor, we help decide who that person is. PSGA is your 'direct line'to the powers that be. If you want Parkside to recognize more transfer or life experience credits, there is probably a committee that decides what is recognized, and PSGA is your conduit to that group. If you have a brilliant solution to all the parking problems on our campus, but can't get anyone in the admtnistratlon to listen to you, PSGA is there to help make your brilliant idea known, and if it is judged to be truly sound, bring that idea to fruition. Look, you could easily sit by the entire time you're attending UWP and never know what PSGA does, but there are some who are trying to change that, and this article is one of those steps. Now the ball is in your court. Are you sick of the food on campus being so expensive? Come to PSGA and help decide what the criteria for our food service provider should be. Tired of our school getting bad press for choosing a guy under a federal investigation to be our next Chancellor? Come to PSGA and help find the right person for the job. You have the power. In fact, we all do! It's within your grasp, if you choose to take that next step and get involved. Parkside Student Government Association meets every Wednesday from 5-6pm in Greenquist 103. Hit a meeting or stop by their office across from Wylie Market and take a hand in the present and future of your University!

The Ranger News October 21, 2008 Men's Soccer roller coaster on the rebound ROB HANSEN hanse082@uwp.edu men's soccer team hosted -a pair of ties against conference rivals Missouri S&T and Drury University. The game versus Missouri S&T, contested on Oct. 10, ended scoreless. On Oct. 12, the Drury game was 4-4. The Ranger men dug themselves a seemingly overwhelming 4-0 hole. By halftime, the Rangers were down three goals. Midway through the second half, Drury added another goal. Spencer Bursten, freshman midfielder, tallied two goals over a 100 second span nearly an hour into the contest. Renaldo Vega, senior midfielder, added another goal nearly 70 minutes into the contest, to inch the Rangers closer. trailing 4 -3. In the closing stages of the game. the poised Ranger squad, with an assist from Ben Kreple, was able to set up Dave Mercer in front of goal w.ith_ less than one minute remaining. His game tying goal would be the game's final goal as the two teams battled through two overtime sessions before ending in a 4-4 tie. The Ranger men have three . more games until the GLVC tournament, which begins the first week of November. Their final two games will be played at home, at the Wood Road Soccer Field. They will play host to Southern Indiana and Kentucky Wesleyan, Jonny BeBeau, a sophomore forward, commented, "Our record does not reflect our team's abilities. I think we can beat anyone in the GLVC tournament, and we have as good of a chance as anyone to win the whole thing." He added that some of the upperclassmen leadership, The University of Wisconsin- Parkside men's soccer team has had quite the roller coaster season.

P P aUle es Ilvestluat II IntI Cllst JOKIRST jo@tberangernews.com IV, section C of last year's constitution is constitutional. Tripp found the section to be constitutional, however it is unethical in the sense that it allows one person unlimited power. The section in question reads: As of late, there has been much talk about the Parkside Student Government Association andtheir constitutions. Currently; thereare three constitutions being discussed in PSGA. The first constitution was the one that last Year'sPSGA members operated under. The second constitution Wasto be voted on by the student bodyin the last election, and the third constitution is a proposed constitution which PSGA IS Currently operating under. It was planned to replace the constitution fromthe last school year. , On Wednesday, Oct 22, a dIscussion began at PSGA's general assembly meeting about what constitution is the correct one to be operating under. Lawrence Tripp, the former Chief lustice(and now Parliamentarian) ofPSGA, began an investigation II1to what constitution PSGA should be operating under, and Whether or not Article V, Section "Section IV. All Justices C. Must meet witltin 5 school days after receiving a complaint from any student. or PSGA member. The decisions made by the Judicial branch shall be binding on all parties involved and shall be forwarded to the designated disciPlinary head of UW-Parkside or the appropriate authorities for implementation." This section basically allows lbe Chief Justice to change anything he'd like, and the rest of PSGA would have to go along with it. Tripp determined that this was not in the best interest of the student body, and changed it in the proposed constitution so that there is not a potential abuse of power. After Tripp's investigation, an ad hoc committee was formed to further investigate Tripp's decision. The investigation is researching complaints about this issue. They are also investigating tbe validity of Tripp's decision, whetber or not the constitution was correct, and whether or not the proposed constitution is in the best interest of the student body. The inconsistencies in last year's constitution, and the validity of spring's election are included in this investigation as well. The validity of spring's election comes into question because it is not known if students were given a copy of the "new" constitution to look over and vote on, or if a copy of the "old" (but current at the time) constitution was available for students. Therefore, at the time of this writing, the ad hoc committee has determined that the constitution that was to be voted on (and passed by the students, 347 votes for to 57 votes against) was not an operational constitution. It was ''We~ve got issues" not passed by both the Senate and the student body, and thus at the beginning of this school year, PSGA was operating under the same constitution they operated under last school year. At the time of this writing, this is the on!y conclusion the ad hoc committee has come to. The rest of the issues in question are still being investigated. If it is determined that Tripp made a poor decision or acted outside of his powers. the Senate can choose to disagree or agree with his decision, and take further action based on their conclusion. Problems with PSGA and rheir constitutions date back to the earliest days of the organization's existence, and there have always been questions of ethics and corruption. As the years went on. this grew into a snowball effect because there was a lack of accountability and a lot of apathy towards these problems. Until now. no administration has taken such drastic measures to correct the problems within the lIS organization. Apathy is not just a problem within PSGA, however, it extends to the student body a a whole. Now that Ted Ruffalo's administration has stepped in, they are working hard to eliminate apathy and corruption in the organization. They are also working to fix the loopholes and inconsistencies in theconstitutlon, and create a constitution that is clear, concise, easily changeable. and has longevity to it. Claims that meetings were held over summer break are true, however, the meetings were not conspiratorial, Further claims that Ruffalo's administration are out to get the students and further their own agenda are unsubstantiated. The PSGA officers are working hard to fix what's broken in our organization. 2 / October 28, 20"08 ~ - 900 Wood Road Kenosha, WI 53141 Phone:(262)595.2287 Fax: (262) 595-2295 Ads: uwp_ods@yahoo.com E-mail: rangernews@gmall.com ditor in Chief Jo Kirst jo@therangernews.com neutlve Editor Mollie Egan mollie®therongernews.com ellgn Monoger Ruth Briones ruth@lherongernews.com orlceting Director Zak Imith zok@therangernews.com dvertillng Monoger Gia Gutierrez gio@therongernews.com Mallie Egan mollie@therangernews.(om & Culture Editor Josh Diefenba\h diefeDOO@uwp.edu taft Reporten Cady Holden ydO(nedloh@yo~oa.<om Rob Ho,,~n hanse082@uwp .•du Georg.
