"The military reserves are getting thin, soldiers have had their tour of duty extended..." BY PRESTON BROWN On January 7, 2003, a congressman from New York purposed a bill to the house of representatives, PI.R. 163, or The Universal National Service Act, which would require that all U.S. citizens agel8-26 serve a mandatory two year term in either a military or civilian capacity, which ever the president deemed necessary, but what's most surprising is that this congressman is a democrat. Charles Rangel, an African American congressman of the 15th district in New York sponsored the bill as an answer to our current situation in the Middle East. He has stated that he wanted the American people to be prepared in case of emergency. The bill was mentioned in Congress and then sent to the House of Armed Services committee, where it has seen little activity. William Murin, professor of political science speculates, 'The military reserves are getting thin, soldiers have had their tour of duty extended" and with the ongoing war, "we may need something like this to replenish the military." Surprisingly, 91 percent of students interviewed for this article had never heard of the Universal National Service Act, which is alarming considering students in their early 20s, which makes up the majority of the student body, are the ones who would be directly affected by it. What might come as more of a shock, is that 73 percent of students interviewed agreed with the bill. This bill is designed to ensure that everybody would have to serve a mandatory term, this is not something that a senator's son would be able to escape, or a college student for that matter, this is for men and woman and it would essentially be inescapable. Rangel designed the bill so that an elected official or politically powerful corporation would have to think twice before putting our soldiers into harms way because their very own children would be the ones at risk. As Murin states, it would "start us out at a level playing field." The dreaded draft has been a political hot topic lately and this bill could essentially neutralize those talks, if it can get past committee. The bill was introduced in the 108th congress and has not gone anywhere, which means it is going to die as soon as the 108th congress session is over. That means that in January, w hen the 109th congress begins, the bill would have to be reintroduced or else it would cease to exist. Without a bill like this on the horizon, the possibility of a national draft increases. Although President Bush said there would only be volunteer military under his presidency, during his closing speech at the Presidential debates on September 20, some are still finding that hard to believe. Murin states, "Based on what he knew at that moment, the President was probably sincere." When asked if they would prefer the random chance of a draft or a mandatory term, 78 percent of students said that they would rather take their chances with the draft. Higher One? On Page UW-Parkside's Women's Softball Hits On Page Home Run Murin said, 'If Rangel is reelected, it's likely he will put the bill back into play," but states, "it's unlikely it will go anywhere." Whether or not this bill is strictly a political move is hard to determine, but it is probable that we haven't seen the last of it. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue to rage on with no end in sight, many Americans find themselves wondering if they will be called upon by their government to serve in the armed forces. What they might find surprising is who could be doing the calling. 44 ...we may need something like this to replenish the military."

We have a solid, dedicated staff who are proud to be a part of the newspaper, and more students are showing an interest in working with us than I can ever remember since I started as a reporter almost two years ago. I'm often surprised when I walk through the halls here and notice how many people are picking up our new issues and reading them. With the positives acknowledged, I feel it's equally important to address some of the problems we've run into, and how we are trying to create systems to work around them. For our first issue of the semester, a story was done on the names of the halls here. All of the photos were mixed up, with the exception of Bernard Tallent, whose photo was in the correct spot. Errors like this damage the newspaper's credibility, so since then we've created a system to prevent similar errors in the future. Mistakes are terrible, and not only for the trustworthiness of our readers, but also to our staff writers who depend on our editors to edit their stories properly. In our second issue this semester, I was editing articles and came across "Johnson Diversey," which I immediately thought was supposed to be "Johnson Diversity," so I changed it. I found out a couple days after we sent the new issue to press that I had inserted a mistake in the reporter's article for him. The staff should be able to trust their editors, and so we are assembling a copy editing system and a way for reporters to check their articles for any last-minute changes right before the issue goes to press. The point is that the newspaper is constantly trying to improve. It's easy to get discouraged when we run into mistakes, so we try to work out a way of preventing similar mistakes in the future, which will make the newspaper stronger in the end. Besides, if we're not constantly trying to improve, then we are constantly falling behind. And falling behind is not the trait of a credible and well-respected publication. On behalf of the staff of The Ranger News, thanks for reading and enjoy the new issue. Henry D.

ZABLER Face it; life can often slip into an endless revolving state of monotony. You are currently partaking in a fouryear- long cycle - a little longer for some. You attend school in the fall, receive a short break, and return for spring, which leads to summer break, and the process soon begins again. On October 20, the second annual Study Abroad Fair will be held at UW-Parkside. This is an event that can help remove the stains of monotony strewn upon your college career. The event will feature study abroad country/program exhibits from around the world. Study abroad opportunities available will include those offered at UW-Parkside, others from within the UW system, and also from schools and organizations outside of Wisconsin. Students who have participated in past study abroad programs will also be on hand to share their experiences of studying abroad with anyone who is interested. There will be students who have studied in Spain, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ghana, China, Japan, and Gennany - although, the study abroad opportunities are not limited solely to those countries. Information about financing a study abroad program and scholarships will also be available at the event. "Studying in another country can be challenging ... but it is a great OMSA BY SAM LIDESTER OMSA, the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs hosted a reception for the faculty, students, and alumni of color on September 30. Brudgette Johnson, director, said, "The event was designed for new students to get together and meet whoever else is on campus.' Students could meet alumni, listen to the speakers, and meet people. Johnson, who has been at UW-Parkside for 11 years, wants students to feel welcome. "There's always something to learn or do, opportunities for growth," Johnson said. OMSA is here to guide students along the way. way to leam how other people see the world or gain an international perspective, thereby increasing cultural awareness and discovering more about yourself and your own culture," says Consuelo Clemens, Ph. D., of the Center for International Studies at UWParkside. She continued to comment on the reasons for studying abroad by saying, "students can learn or improve language skills, clarify personal goals and expand career choices by developing a global resume." The typical thought is that a student who studies abroad does so in order to study a foreign language; however, Dr. Clemens explained, "there are no 'typical students' who study abroad, but ideally it should be students who have dreamed of going overseas." Students who wish to add a bit of spice to their lives and are interested in studying abroad should plan to attend the event on October 26, which will be held in Upper Main Place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. OMSA is a very active organization. The numerous things they do are impressing. The office is made to help students with their university life. This includes academic programming, advising, and spreading cultural awareness. Some things they plan even extend into the Racine/Kenosha area. A great event each year is the winter cultural celebration. It's a celebration of many different religions and cultures, during the traditional time of Christmas. They also have a cultural speak out each month. Their tools are the speakers, workshops, celebrations, and more than 40 students who volunteer for OMSA. HigherOne Cards BY TAL GOLD WATER In February 2003 there was a process started for establishing the HigherOne card on the UWParkside campus without the students' knowledge. It was initiated because the UW-Parkside's computer system was transferring over to PeopleSoft. Rick Haskey who is the assistant director of the union headed-up the transition to the HigherOne card system. He states, "it was a campus community decision." When asked who on campus decided on these new HigherOne cards he stated, "I was the lead person, director of business sendee, and director of student life." He goes on to say "it was in conjunction wdth the approval from the chancellors cabinet." He also mentioned that it was brought to the attention of the student government in September 2003 after the decision was made but before the implementation of the system. So how could it have been a campus decision when the students did not have a say or know about it until it was implemented? Chris Semenas, president of Parkside Student Government Association, said he is "bothered by the fact that we did not have a say." This state is one of very few that has in their policies and procedures chapter 36.095, which gives the students a voice on issues. Chapter 36.095 would be relevant for the HigherOne card change. When asked about student Their priority is learning, Many people think that they have to be of color to take part in OMSA. Not true, says Johnson. All students may visit for advisement. Diversity serves as a unique feature of the office. She feels cultural awareness is important for students to feel a part of their university. At a small campus like UWParkside students can realize that there is 'faculty and staff like you; a place that you can call home.' The office of Multicultural Student Affairs is located in Wyllie Hall D182, and is open every day. involvement in the decision Haskey said, "the students helped implement the process." That does not answer the question of why students were not informed in the decision making process. Furthermore, the HigherOne card does not have your student ID number on it. Haskey's reply to that was, "the reason why student ID numbers are not printed on the card [is] for security reasons. We wanted to protect any type of security breach. So therefore we don't put it on the card." Haskey goes on to state, "so what we did is created a new number to put on the card. That is going to act like a student ID number but it is not the student ID number. If the card is lost the card number can be changed. So no one could look up the students information." Yet if the card is stolen anyone could use the card at a gas pump without a pin number because of the Master card logo on the ID card. Which would make it prone to security breaches on individual students. "There have not been many theft problems of the card," Haskey said, and he only knew of one incident this year. Semenas also states that he feels "the new system has been an inconvenience to the students and that on most days he gets complaints about it." For instance he said, "it takes a long time to receive a change check with this new system." The only institution that over sees this system is an office building in Connecticut. There are no otherbraches of that institution in this country. If this HigherOne were catering to the community would it not be easier to have branches in Wisconsin. To that Haskey replied, "it was a biding process and HigherOne got the bid." All this leads up to the point that students need to know what is happening on their campus at all times, and what decisions are being made for them. 4 The Ranger News October 9, 2004 Celebrity Hosts Billiard Tournament in Den ^ of Wkconsin-Paitaide provides Ksvices (or patrons witfi asrclsl 5# / Please contact the PaHnide Student Center for assistance, (262) 595-2345. BY HENRY G A SKINS More than 40 students were entertained between September 27 and October 1, when Jack White, an internationally famous billiard and trick shot artist, held a tournament in the Den here at UW-Parkside. Jack has been playing pool for more than 60 years, which he said has been his only real job in his life. "I enjoy coming to universities and colleges," said White. He also noted that pool is an educational game. "You got math, geometiy, history, and it also takes concentration and discipline." While Jack is serious about pool, he really enjoys laughing and joking with students. He gives each student a nickname when they enter the tournament and teases them about all sorts of things, not just pool. The students who participated seemed to have gotten a lot out of it. David Adrian, who started the Parkside Billiards Club, said, "Watching pool helps me learn, even if they are bad. But especially watching someone as good as him." For those who are interested the Parkside Billiards Club, meetings are on Wednesdays at noon inMolinaro 116. The winner of the pool tournament was Nick Weber, a staff member at the library here. The top three shooters in each of the men's and women's tournaments won a plaque and a $25 gift certificate to Chili's. The tournament was put together by Intramural Coordinator Tami Falk-Day along with Student Activities.

ZABLER Picking a major, obtaining information about internships and deciding on "what to be when you grow up" are some of the difficult things that college students are forced to face as they tread along the path of college. Two business students at UW-Parkside have recognized these difficulties and have created a means to aid students who face them. On October 26, students Jeremy Scuffham and Ben Stark will host the first of four informational presentations entitled, Business by Students. The presentation is designed to give students who may be interested in business, just starting the business program, or have not yet decided their major, a chance to learn about the business program and its opportunities. "This is an informational presentation," adds Jeremy Scuffham, "the presentations will all be done by students for students." At each of the presentations, students of the business program will present their perspective of various experiences they obtained through the program. Students attending the presentation will be given the chance to hear about the many opportunities available and how to obtain them such as internships, and various projects past students were able to work on at UWParkside and within the community - something the presenters had to dig out and find on their own. The opportunities that will be discussed are not only beneficial for learning more about an area of business but they can also become valuable elements of a resume. "What can I p ut on my resume when I graduate?" is a question Dirk Baldwin, Ph.D. of the Business Department feels students should begin asking early. "If you can start asking yourself that question when you're a freshman or sophomore, you will be much better off when you graduate," he emphasized. All students who wish to learn more about the business program and its benefits from a fellow student's perspective should plan to attend Business by Students. It will be presented at four distinct times - each with different student presenters - on October 26 at 8 a.m., 9:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. An additional presentation will be held on November 1 at 6 p.m. for students who are unable to fit the other times into their schedule. All presentations will be held in Molinaro D139. Question of the Issue When was the last time you sang Karaoke and what did you sing?

BY EMILY RASBORNIK Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton came to visit UW-Parkside on September 13. Reporter Tal Goldwater went asked why she decided to come to UW-Parkside. "I wanted to take this opportunity to visit this campus and speak with Chancellor Keating about his position of where we are right now as we head into another budget cycle. I think the university system hosts the potential for our economic growth and stability across this state. The strong system we built over history needs to have the strong support of the state," Lt. Gov. Lawton said. She also said the biggest issue facing the UW system this year is "The budget, the biggest challenge is to be sure that we fulfill our mission of making the highest quality education accessible to all of Wisconsin's children. UW-Parkside does an extraordinary job. Jack Keating was just reminding me that UW-Parkside is the most successful in providing access and enrolling and graduating minority students. The rest of the system has a long ways to go to have the percentage of students approximate the percentage in the population. So this is a wonderful success story, but it's a challenge to all of us across the state. When we talk about the need for us to move from a manufacturing to an information and a technology based economy. The way we will compete successfully is to increase the number of citizens with a bachelor degree. This will take that front end investment in our university system, to be sure our doors are open, that the tuition isn't too high, and that the top quality educators are there to receive our children" cxu LipjCe , c^c *Pub* * An Irish Pnb...

But shortly after The Ranger News arrived for this interview, Fillipp's made it clear that what she really wanted to talk about was the team. However, Fillipp or "Flip" as she is known by her colleagues and players, did allow us to inquire about her road to becoming the Head Coach of the UWParkside Women's Softball Team. Coach Fillipp was the athletic director and a physical education instructor at St. Francis de Sales School in Lake Zurich, 111., and she coached basketball, volleyball, Softball, and soccer at Barrington High School in Illinois. In that time span, Fillipp was also the head volleyball coach at the College of Lake County in Grayslake, 111, for three years. Next, it was an administrative position with similar job duties at the Immaculate Heart of Mary School in Lake Forest, 111, where she spent five years. Then, she accepted a position as an assistant coach at Penn State University. As an assistant there, Fillipp was responsible for not only recmiting, but also for working with pitchers and catchers, hitting, outfield, travel, and monitoring scholastic progress of the studentathletes. She played a vital role in the team's meticulous classroom work ethic as the team ranked fourth, fifth, and seventh among all NCAA Division I softball teams in GPA. When Coach Fillipp and assistant coach, Clare Johnson, were at Penn State, they met Joe Patemo. "He was so pro-Penn State and very staunch academically," according to Johnson. Fillipp was able to have Patemo sign a book so that she could give it to her father for Christmas one year. "He was really a personable man, a really good man. I went to him for his opinion about a player situation once and I really thought that he gave me some good advice," said Fillipp. She continued to say, "He was very visible. You would see him out jogging or out at lunch in town somewhere." Four years later, Coach Fillipp returned to Illinois to accept the position of athletic director and head softball coach at Immaculate Heart of Maiy High School in Westchester, 111. She held that post until she took the position here at UW-Parkside. Fillipp was a graduate of Carbondale and the College of Lake County, and lettered in softball while earning her Bachelor of Science degree in physical education and her minor in coaching. In November of 1993, Fillipp was the first native of Illinois and the 12th female ever to be inducted into the USSSA National Hall of Fame, and is the first native of Illinois; only the 12th female to do so! In 1990, Fillipp was a member of a team that was chosen to represent the United States on a softball tour of the USSR. Assistant Coach, Claire Johnson, was also on that team. Fillipp, a left-handed power hitter, hit over 200 homeruns during her career. She played volleyball, basketball, and softball in college, but softball is the only sport that she played all four years. "My passion is really softball," said Fillipp. In addition, for more than 18 years, Fillipp has offered instruction and coordinated clinics across the country and has also been an instructor and director of pitchers and hitters at Grand Slam U.S.A. Coach Fillipp said she played a collegiate game at UW-Paikside in the past while at Lake County. She grew up 40 miles away and was not really too familiar with the university, but was accustomed with the area. As she was getting ready to come to UWParkside, Fillipp said, "It was kind of funny because I was looking through a box that had some newspaper articles that my mom had collected through the years. I took one that was on the top or right near the top to look at it, and it read, 'Fillipp throws no-hitter against UW-Parkside.'" As for the best thing about being a collegiate coach, Fillipp said, "There are actually two things. One is to see the players' graduate and to grow and develop as young women. Second, to watch these players develop and grow as players." Assistant coaches, Claire Johnson and Mary Kasinski, are volunteers in their fourth year of assisting the team and Coach Fillipp. Claire Johnson said, "We have similar philosophies in the mentoring aspect of it, not just from an athletics standpoint, but also academically. We've seen a dramatic increase in our team's GPA." The coaches want their players to have fun as well. When asked how important her assistant coaches are to her and the players, Fillipp said, "I think that our senior and junior players will tell you that we're more productive as a group when our assistants are around. It's extremely difficult to have just volunteer coaches who are committed to being here. I think that I'm pretty lucky to have them. I believe your staff is extremely invaluable." This year's team lias seven freshmen. "It's a good group," said Fillipp. There is one returning pitcher, Kristen Brestan, a junior from Addison, 111. "We're looking for some leadership from Kristen," said Coach Fillipp. Backing Brestan up in the rotation are three freshmen. First, Anna Bluemel, a native of Wind Lake, Wis., who had a very successful senior season at Waterford High School with a final record of 21-1. She threw a no-hitter this fall against Concordia College, including nine strikeouts. Next, there is Frankfort, 111 native, Meagan Shimkus, who has summer ball experience and who got a lot of playing time in high school. Shimkus threw a one-hitter earlier this season. Third is Cassie Moreland, who is from New Berlin, Wis., is one of the few walk-on players named to this year's squad. Behind the plate is returning senior Jamie Bliemeister, from Gennantown, Wis. "Jamie really carried us last year. She hit extremely well, especially towards the last month of the seasoa She was also named to the first GLVC All-Conference team and a first team All-Conference catcher," said Fillipp. Two sophomores will also catch, including Jeni Watermolen, from Sturgeon Bay, Wis. Transfer studentathlete and Mokena, 111. n ative, Allison Wodziak, will also see some time behind the plate this season. "She is a transfer student from South Eastern Louisiana," said Fillipp. At first base is senior Emma Strohbusch from Fort Atkinson, Wis. Strohbusch led the Lady Rangers in doubles last season and had the highest batting average on the team. Strohbusch was a first team All- Conference and second team All Great Lakes Region selection. Nicki Smith, a Franklin, Wis. native and junior, is also a first baseman. Shorty Anderson, a junior from Milwaukee, Wis., will play second base. She has played at second base for more than 50 percent of the time in the last two seasons. Anderson hit .690 in the Chicago Land Classic a couple of weeks ago! Also at second base will be Michelle Pickering, a senior from Portage, Ind. "Michelle has been a four-year basketball player here at Continued on page 9 9 The Ranger News October 9,2004 Softball story continued from page 8 UW-Paikside as well. Pickering could see time at short stop, too. Pickering was a second team All-Conference selection two years ago and this last season she was a second team All- Region selection," said Fillipp. Also at second base will be junior, Stephanie Bishop, from Racine, Wis. Kristen Brestan might also see action at second base. Senior Melanie Strohbusch returns to play third base. Strohbusch is a first team All-Conference Team, first team All-Region, and second team All-American selection. "Mel has led the conference in homeruns for the last two seasons. I think that she was overlooked during her sophomore year. She played behind a senior third baseman. Opponents pitch around Mel and she has definitely become the player to watch for other teams," said Fillipp. Strohbusch and her twin sister, Emma, were walk-on players in their freshmen year at UW-Paikside. Freshman, Angela Marshall, from Park Forest, 111., might see some time at the hot corner this season. "Angela is a strong hitter. Allison Wodziak, the catcher, can also play third," said Fillipp. Coach Fillipp said that she would find a position for a player to play if a player can hit the baseball. "So much of this game is trying to produce some runs," said Fillipp. In center field, Kim Dean, a senior Ask Dave from South Elgin, HI., will be the starter. "Kim was a middle infielder her freshman year. She also played left field her freshman and sophomore year. Her sophomore year, Kim was a second team All-Conference player and only had one error on the season. It came on the second to the last week of the season," said Fillipp. In left field and right field, freshman, Stephanie Gardocki, is expected to see action. Gardocki can also play some infield. Gardocki will take over Dean's position in center field next season. In high school she played shortstop and in summer ball she played the outfield. "Right now, Stephanie can mostly help us in the outfield," said Fillipp. Also in left field will be senior Nichole Nellessen, a native of Racine, Wis. "Nichole was a walk-on her freshman year at UWParkside and came here as a middle infielder. She took about two years to develop into a good defensive outfielder. Early last season, we played a tournament in Tennessee and she was just outstanding. She goes all out," said Fillipp. Also platooning in left field will be Katie Jacobsen, a sophomore from Franksville, Wis. "Katie is a transfer from U WPlatteville and played in the outfield during her freshman season," said Fillipp. In right field, Katrina Homa, a freshman from Cudahy, Wis., is expected to start. "She's done veiy well so far this season in right field. She can also play some shortstop, second base, center field, and do some catching. She knows the game pretty well and has hit pretty well so far, and I don't say that just because she is a freshman," said Fillipp. She continued to say, "In addition, in right field, will be freshman walk-on, Claire Hilinske, a native of Waterford, Wis." The team has two freshman managers on its roster, too. These two were players that did not make the team, but who have some talent and who hold future aspirations of joining the team as players. "They will still get a chance to travel with us," stated Fillipp. The Ranger News asked Fillipp to reveal one thing about herself that nobody else knows about her here at UWParkside. "I like dolphins! They're my favorite animals of all time. If I could have one as a pet, I would. My cell phone ringer plays the song, 'Flipper!'" Ahh ... your secrets out, coach! BY RUSSELL HARRIS Sports Editor The Ranger News regularly visits with UW-Parkside Athletic Director, Dave Williams, to get a sneak preview of upcoming athletic events and related topics. Here is what he had to say at our recent meeting when asked the following questions... Q: What and when is Family Weekend? A: "On October 15, which is a Friday, it will be Family Weekend where people can come to meet the men and women's basketball teams. It will be held in the gymnasium in the SAC.

Approximately 500-600 runners will be competing in this event and it will be open to anybody that would like to participate! People that are interested in running just need to pre-register with the athletic department prior to the start of the race. Q: Where has our Women's Volleyball Team been so far this season? A: "Our women have not played a single home game so far this year. They have been on the road playing in tournaments, as UW-Parkside doesn't host any of them early on in the season This team can use all of the support it can get, so try to get out to the field house aid help cheer on the team!"

Sport Shots Continued... play at Lewis The Women's Volleyball Team has had a tough schedule this season, and won't play their first home match until October 1 against Northern Kentucky. The Lady Rangers started the season 1-6, but bounced back nicely in a tournament at Lewis University recently. They defeated Michigan Tech, 30-28, 30-23, 23-30, 26-30, 15-5. They went on to beat Lake Superior State, 28-30, 30-25, 26- 30, 32-30, 15-13, before losing to a strong Northern Michigan team (7- 0), 25-30, 18-30, 19-30. The series moves the Lady Rangers record to 4-7. Kandi Bauer, senior middle and outside hitter, notched 16 kills in the Michigan Tech game, and Noelle Swartz, senior outside hitter, led the team in that same category against Lake Superior State with 19. Sophomore setter, Ashley Vycital, produced 58 assists versus Michigan Tech and had' 41 assists in the Lake Superior State game. BY RUSSELL HARRIS Sports Editor The UW-Parkside Women's Soccer Team (8-1) played like a fine tuned machine as they defeated tire St. Xavier Cougars in a non-GLVC game, 7-0 on September 24. The veiy brisk wind at Wood Road Field did not stop the Lady Rangers from racking up 18 shotson- goal along with 11 corner-kicks, compared to St. Xavier's one shot-ongoal and four corner-kicks. The Lady Rangers played some solid defense, too, which is an area that Head Coach, Troy Fabiano, is working at improving. At 30:40, freshman midfielder, Tamara Bunlrock, got the scoring started with a goal and with 21:15 to go in the half, junior forward, Erica Kollatz, added a score. Senior goalkeeper, Abbigale Wild, made a nice save on a Cougar attempt with 10:32 in the first half to help preserve the shutout. The play came off of a comer kick. UW-Paikside led at intermission 2-0. It would be all the team needed to preserve the victory, BY RUSSELL HARRIS Sports Editor On September 25, the UWParkside Rugby Team (1-2) defeated UW-Platteville 20-10 to secure their first win of the season. It was a cool, breezy afternoon at the outdoor track field as UW-Paikside got a balanced scoring attack. Mark Rosenow scored for UW-Parkside in the early going of the contest. It was Rosenow's third attempt to score this season. Later, John Hubbard scored to put the Rangers up 10-0. UW-Platteville made a run, but UW-Paikside's Doug Sawyer scored to give the Rangers the lead again. To wrap up the victory, assistant coach and player, Todd Streeter, scored on the last play of the game. Last season, the Rangers beat UW-Platteville on the road. "It was definitely a hard fought win and a step in the right direction for a very young team," said Streeter. UW-Parkside's scrumhalf, Luke Bowar, had a great but UW-Parkside came out and played with great enthusiasm and intensity in the second half. At the 40:25 mark in the second half, Ah Wild, junior midfielder, scored to make it 3-0. UWParkside had a scary moment when Erica Kollatz, junior forward, went down after a collision with a St. Xavier player. Both spectators and players held their breath as Kollatz was taken off the field on a gurney. Her status was unknown at press time. Later, at the 21:41 mark in the second half senior midfielder, Lisa Gorski, scored a goal to make it 4-0. Then, Kelly Baker, freshman midfielder, scored to make it 5-0 with 15:55 left in the contest. With 4:36 left, Nicole Curran, freshman defender, punched the ball to the back of the net to make it 6-0 and with 3:05 remaining in the game, Sara Guenther, a freshman midfielder, scored for UWParkside to close out the day's steady scoring attack. Senior goalie, Abbigale Wild, was credited with one save. Lisa Gorski was credited with the assist on Buntrock's goal and Lindsey Griffitts game as he harassed UW-Platteville's scrumhalf all game. Bowar also made a lot of tough tackles. "Perseverance and a good game strategy brought the team victoiy this week as UWPlatteville crashed their forwards hard and often, but our defense played 'bend-don't-break' and that proved to be the difference. Our kicking game also played an important role because we constantly put pressure on them with a lot of well-placed kicks," said Streeter. When asked about upcoming games at UW-Eau Claire (October 2) and at Wisconsin RFC, Rugby Football Club (October 9), Streeter said, "Eau-Claire will be a tough match, especially on the road and because it is their homecoming. But our younger players now have three matches under their belts and are contributing regularly. We did suffer a few injuries against UW-Platteville and will be fielding a young starting lineup against Eau-Claire, but I am confident that and Gorski assisted on Kollatz's goal. Megan Jurvis and Charissa Weiher assisted on Allison Wild's score, while Gorski's goal was unassisted. Gorski and Stephanie Strauss assisted on Baker's goal. Jessica Dubois and Charissa Weiher assisted on Curran's score and Katie Gaal and Jessica Metko assisted on Guenther's goal. What a fantastic game! we can play a competitive match up there." As for the upcoming game against Wisconsin RFC, Streeter said, "It should be a change of pace because they are a men's club team, not a collegiate team. Men's club teams are typically older guys with a lot of experience and play crisper rugby. It will serve as a good test for our younger players." Men's Soccer Team too much for St. Joseph's in GLVC BY RUSSELL HARRIS Sports Editor The UW-Paikside Men's Soccer Team (8-1) beat GLVC opponent (2-0) in an insistent, hard fought game September 25 at Wood Road Field. It did not take the Rangers long to find the back of the net as senior forward, Dustin Wagner, scored at the 33:42 mark in the first period. St. Joseph's team speed was good. UW-Parkside's passing looked crisp. UW-Parkside got what would be their final goal of the game with 18:26 in the first period. The second half highlights included senior defender, ' Riley Mewes, dribbling the length of the field past four Saint Joseph's defenders and almost scoring a goal. His attempt bounced off of the top of the post! UW-Parkside played great defense and stayed aggressive while moving the ball as Saint Joseph's tried to make a run. UW-Parkside finished with 10 shots-on-goal and 10 comer kicks w hile Saint Joseph's had just two shots-on-goal and just two comer kicks. About 100 people were in attendance to cheer on the Rangers.

Those questions were, 'What is it like to be a studentathlete?' and 'How do you feel about next spring's team?' Kristen Brestan, a junior pitcher, had this to say. "I would not have wanted to go to college any other way. I can't imagine not being a student-athlete. I need something to keep me busy and I have met so many great people through the athletic program here. It is tough to play a sport and keep up with your class work. Some people think we (studentathletes) have it easy, but they're wrong. There is a lot of pressure on us and the expectations are very high. We don't like to miss class, but because of our conference opponents being so far away we do once in a while. I'd rather not miss class. Most of our professors understand though. As for this year's team, I am excited about this season! We have a great team and have some depth. Some amazing athletes have to sit on the bench, which is something we've never experienced before. I am so happy that we have three talented freshman pitchers this year who can all get the job done. We push each other and force ourselves to become better. The team chemistry is wonderful and we all get along together well, which is something that will help us win a lot of games." Jamie Bliemeister, a senior catcher, said, "My experience as a student-athlete has been outstanding! Being an athlete lias allowed me the opportunity to get to know people that otherwise I would not have had the chance to become friends with. It has helped me to become more outgoing and also helped me to become more confident. It has also helped me with my time management skills and in getting used to being in a routine, both of which will help me later on in my fife. I am sad to be leaving the athletic program after this year's eligibility is up. I am extremely optimistic about the upcoming spring season. I think that the talent we have returning from last season is phenomenal.

The rest of our returning players are wonderful, too. We returned a fantastic pitcher and amazing fielders, and we have numerous newcomers who have played tremendously this fall. We have an incredible amount of talent in all areas and we have a ton of fun, w hich helps us to bring us together as a team." Nichole Nellessen, a senior left fielder, said, "My thoughts on this upcoming spring season are all positive. I have high expectations for this team. All of our big hitters are coming back and our roster is filled with upper classmen. The new girls have a lot of talent and that is going to add to the team and make us more competitive." As far as being a student-athlete is concerned, Nellessen said, "It is rewarding in many ways. I have learned how to manage my time and how to get things done. I get to know my teachers on a one-to-one basis as I miss some classes during the semester due to travel with the team. My professors help me when I have trouble with coursework. I have also learned to deal with differing personalities, which will help me in the future. The friends that I've made and all of the memories are something that I'll never forget." Shorty Anderson, a junior second basemen, said, "I have learned some good time management skills because we travel and I am responsible for making up class work. Studentathletes are not only expected to perform at a high level on the field, but in the classroom, too. I am excited about the spring season! We have many returning players who contributed last year as well as many players who how to play the game at a very intense level. The team gets along really well and I feel that if we stick together we will be the top force in the GLVC in for the upcoming spring season." Kim Dean, a senior center fielder, had this to say. "My experiences as a student-athlete have been exciting. The friendships that I have made will last forever. As for the upcoming spring season, we have quite a few "diaperdandees" and more than enough experienced veterans. I think this will be the best spring ever!"

Deconstructing The Smirk: BY KATIE DYLEWSKI The bicameral theory, as Julian Jaynes coined it, suggests that both halves of the face can (and do) show separate emotions. Before you discount this as the creation of some way-too-much-time-on-theirhands Bush-hater - let us explore this theoiy. Facial expressions consist of skin and muscle being pulled or flexed, as directed by the brain. The left side of the brain controls the right side of your face/body and vice versa. Getting into the characteristics of each brain gets a bit confusing - see Figure 2. Moving on, the theory would back-up those half a nd half f acial expressions we often use: The smirk - Half smile, half solemn or upset The nervous smile - Half smile, half down-turned Forced to be polite - Half smile, half straight Try this with your driver's license, or a random photograph of yourself - cover up one half. Then do the other side. You'll be able see the slight inconsistency The left side should show a more forced expression, while the right displays more of your true emotion. An exception to this theory is the extremely symmetrical face (i.e. Princess Diana, Denzel Washington, et. al.), which is typically reserved for models and a select amount of beautiful people. It's pretty clear that Mr. President is neither of these, shown in this photo with one of his classic indecipherable expressions. A significant difference in both sides is a visual clue that this person's "should act" and "real feelings" lie at opposite ends of the spectrum. Though we can see that Mr. George Dubya is making every attempt at a warm smile - it's seems that something very different is happening in his head; making for the famous (and slightly unsettling) smirk. DISCLAIMER: Since a trained professional did not do this study, the results of the bicameral examination are inconclusive.

Rainbow Alliance Announces Campus Presence BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR Some might remember watching the news in 1998 and catching the stoiy of Matthew Shepard, a young man brutally murdered because he was gay. If not, eveiyone has probably all heard the phrase, "queer bashing." So, for obvious reasons, you shouldn't expect "The Laramie Project" to be a kneeslapper- although, the director, Moises Kaufman, does give the audience just enough repose at those critical moments to salvage a much-needed glimmer of hope. UW-Parkside's Rainbow Alliance gave a free showing of the film September 20 at 7:30 pm. Student turnout was sparse; nonetheless, the Rainbow Alliance made their presence known by showing the film, which serves to dispel much of the hostility or confusion with which straight culture tends to marginalize queer culture. It is suiprising that "The Laramie Project" never received a wider release from HBO, with cameos from relatively big names such as Janine Garafolo, Christina Ricci and Steve Buscemi. Kaufman, who wrote and directed the film, gives us a docu-dramatization of the actual interviews he and the Tectonic Theater Project members conducted as the basis for a play from which the film is adapted. Kaufman engages with thea udience as honestly as he can, evincing the profound relationship formed between these New York city-folk and the Laramie, Wyo., "The best / can do is the confrontation relative truth." - Dennis eachhaswiththeir ^ religious, political Cooper, Closer religious and political institutions alike, so as to serve a variety of ideological agendas. In the face of their family's tragedy, the Shepards offer their son as salvation - not only for the cultural economy of the town, but also for the murderers themselves (Russell Henderson and Aaron McKinney), who are sentenced to two consecutive fife terms and life in prison, respectively. Shepard's grieving father makes clear in an open address to the court that, 99 while neither he, his wife, nor his What the Rainbow Alliance did, by showing this film, was very quickly nullify any argument for "human nature" being the indiscriminate and undisputed source of social evil. Instead, It s accomphshed by f°regmund„•m g t„h e disagme with the death penalty. That whlch (hey smgU (Q c0[|de^n interviewing itself. The intricacy saved bo(h Henderson and McKinney. of the film's production process is left in tact for the audience to observe: The murder, the town, the trial, media coverage and the interviewers. Not only does the film serve to examine how Shepard's murder affected Laramie, the LGBTQ community across the nation, and his closest friends in the community, it also displays how the tragedy was exploited by media, A memorable scene is when a Catholic priest tells the playwrights that the community should let Henderson and McKinney "be their teachers," because the important lesson that needs to be learned is "where they learned to hate." The implicit message of this, of course, is that humanity should learn from its mistakes. they allowed for the silver screen in the Union Cinema to be a reflective skin that showed the audience members their own faces, words and deeds. The conflicts and beliefs, the friends and struggles of the everyday stared right back. Every drop of fear, anxiety, passion, anger and love lingered there in the auditorium in that moment before the credits began rolling. It was a nongendered erotic experience ... different, surely, for eveiyone who saw it. For any LGBTQ allies out there - straight folks who'd like to support equality of human rights - The Rainbow Alliance meets every Friday at noon in Greenquist Hall, room 119. Membership is open to everyone, regardless of his or her sexual orientation. "Heck," they're website says, "We don't even ask!" Their office is located on the second floor of the Library, room 283 in Wyllie Hall. And, just a reminder: LGBTQ history month is October. 15 The Ranger News October 9, 2004 Building or Destroying Character? By Emily Rasbornik Is politics creating fear? Some say Bush is using war to create fear and obtain more votes. Others say Michael Moore is using fear against the President to sway voters. What are your criteria for voting? Are you choosing candidates out of fear, hate, or is the phy sical appearance of each candidate more important? Kerry's botox or Bush's grin? Why was "Unfit for Command''' such a controversy? Why did the Kerry party want to ban this book from stores? And why was it selling out? A lot of students tell me to "just go see 'Fahrenheit 911.'"I am responding by saying "just go read 'Unfit for Command.'" This book will have an impact just as "Fahrenheit 911" did. John O'Neill and Jerome Corst, Ph.D wrote the New York Times #1 bestseller. The notorious swift Boat Veterans speak out against John Kerry. Why does their message seem to be the hot topic? It is because their testimonies show a frightening man. The impact this book has on society seems to have the same impact Fahrenheit 911 did. Seeing movies/ documentaries and reading books help people form views, which is the motive of authors or directors. This book was an eye opener. It makes some people think twice about fronts others put on. Which is what society is supposed to do, think. Americans have a right to question authority, to look at the real issues surrounding political figures. Looking at candidates past can show something about their character. How an older candidate now deals with the dishonorable events of their past can build or take away from their character. O'Neill & Corst said, "John Kerry is also the only known "Swiftee" who received the Purple Heart for a selfinflicted wound." It's your decision if you want to really find out if that statement is true or not. It's your decision to deem it coming from a credible source or not. Fear and anger seem to drive politics. How do you make your decisions? If your looking for more information about Kerry's past, a new documentary called "Stolen honor" will be released soon. This film interviews POW's who have obtained the most prestigious military medals you can earn They tell their story of being imprisoned and seeing a side of Kerry they think society should know about, visit www.stolenhonor.com/ documentary for more information. with dlnnei' llmon Spare mt is Fiesta Carnival with |aw Riders, I nflatables, Crafts and more! 10am-2pm Union Square/Patio Hypnotist Frederick Winters mm m Latin Comedy Troupe iSaleaffon! 7pm UnionSquare Comedian Bengf Washburn 1?:20pm Union Cinema * OUppeenn RKeeccrreeautnioonn iinn Tinhee Dveeinl Union Cinema _ Bowling - Air Hockey yfega Fiix/Freaky Snapshots The Den |Sjj4~6 i ^ Union Bazaar (RCC * MOT |LM LI - GM OT. - FLLTT - MOT far nor* ttwmatwa mm t® aw*. m §*t e«ms Brawn* wwww mat bwmm cowwtw 16 The Ranger News October 9, 2004 mToo^c S MOllth Equal Rights Vs. Liberty BY HENRY GASKINS As we know, the countiy we live in was founded on the principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, concepts that come with a high level of responsibility. The Declaration of Independence proclaimed our freedom from Britain back in 1776, because the British monarchy held a tyranny over the colonists and taxed them heavily without representation. America fought the Revolutionaiy War and won its independence. It's arguable to say that in today's U.S. government, the liberty we won is slipping away. Many people pay taxes that don't represent them, and government regulations exist that jeopardize the freedom from the government itself. Taxes conflict with liberty because the government is dependent on taxpayers to sustain itself. When taxes rise the government grows, usually by creating programs in an effort to help people or society in general. They create roads, schools, and fund themselves and their regulations almost completely. This may be seen by some as a good thing, but forcing citizens to do anything is automatically going to conflict with freedom. Perhaps the government means well by initiating regulations. For instance, the equal rights movement has helped create an even playing field for people that did not have as much of a chance to get ahead before, but it is something that is limiting the opportunities of others. It's a concept that tries to make our countiy a little more humane, which in turn takes away the freedoms people have to decide for themselves if that's what they really want. Seatbelt laws have a similar drawback, as most states enforce strict seatbelt regulations, citizens find themselves in a position without a choice. Our choices, are taken away from us on a daily bases. It's as if the government has started making decisions for the people (which, I suppose, is what we elect them to do). Regulations may enhance equal rights by protecting citizens from corporations, sexism, and racism, but the concept of liberty would imply that each human would not have to depend on equal rights regulations. Complete freedom means each person makes a decision individually as to what is fair, or if they even want to be fair. They decide if they want to live a life that supports others equally or if they want to give themselves a better opportunity to succeed however they define success. Humans should be able to control their regulations themselves, so if they feel it is better to wear a seatbelt they can make that decision without outside help or force. With liberty in mind, maybe we don't need such a big government. The bigger the government and the more regulations, the less freedom there is. What happens as a result from less liberty is the further breakdown of the Declaration of Independence. BY PRESTON BROWN In this Country we have something called Equal rights, a system that is designed to ensure all citizens can get a fair opportunity regardless of race, sex or religion. This system is designed for all to have a chance in our country that is not blocked by prejudice, hate or ignorance. Some might want to argue that Equal rights are a strike against our liberty and freedoms, which in the text -book sense would be correct, but it is also protecting millions of Americans by allowing them to exercise their rights and freedoms. It ensures that minorities can have an equal chance to get ahead in this country. I know that some people see things like Affirmative Action as taking away their chances in life and giving them to someone else just because of their race or sex, but it's a necessary evil that is needed in today's society to help balance the playing field. Face it, this country is primarily run by people who have prejudices, just as millions of people around the world do. It's hard to just throw them away when you have been raised with them, by your parents or the media, feeding us fear this and hatred that, all the name of selling us their beliefs and stories. It's easier to get along with someone who is just like you; someone who looks the same, acts the same and talks the same, but easy isn't always rights and it isn't always fair. In fact easy tends to lead most people in the direction that they were already heading, not somewhere new where ideas can expand and possibilities can open. It would be nice to five in a world that had no racism and no hatred, but we don't live in that world yet. However, the equal rights movement is a step in the right direction. It allows people to work in situations that have diversity and share experiences with those that they might not have ever know, hopefully expanding the minds of all. I guess when it comes down to it, I would rather live in a world that tries to give people a fair shake, even it does restrict opportunities for myself, because it s better then the world that existed fifty years ago, a world that was run by upper-class rich white men who wanted nothing more then to keep their domination intact.

Other clubs that stood out were UW-Parkside's radio station, WIPZ, which had a live band playing during the fair. Two of the band members are volun teers at the station. At the Circle K booth, the club was racing minnows. In addition to this fishy activity, there were highlights of past events like Winter Weekend for the Northern Wisconsin/Upper Michigan District, and up-coming events like the club's district convention (you'll have to join the club to find out what that's all about). In addition, there was a newsletter that interested students were able to look at to see what other Circle K Clubs are doing within the district. Also at the booth, the club was giving away Smarties with a message that read, "Be a Smartie, join Circle K." At the organizational fair in September, the message was "How many people does it take to change the world? One.You!" Almost all the clubs had candy and some literature about" the clubs that students could take. Approximately 37 organizations signed up for the fair while 34 had tables at the event.

Higher Utilitv Prices Affecting Evervone.. .Including UW-Parliside By Zach Robertson The recent rise in utility prices has affected ~veryone, in one way or another. Students living off campus have seen a rise in their monthly gas and electric bills, while other students have probably heard about it on the news. UWParkside has also felt the sting of increased utility. prices, especially in heating the buildings on campus. According to Sharon Stoltz, financial specialist at the Facilities Management plant, "Eighty percent of the yearly budget has already been spent, and We are only 60% through the year." The increased cost of natural gas is to blame for the high heating costs the University MS encountered. The price of natural gas has guadrupled in a very short time, leavmg UW-Parkslde no choice but to switch to fuel oil. Fuel oil is a cheaper alternative to natural gas, but it has doubled in price from a year ago. Add to this the four percent increase in electricity, and it's easy to see the effect the prices are having on UWParkside. According to Don Kolbe director of Facilities Management, UW-Parkside has gone to great lengths in fighting higher utility costs, with energy efficient features in the buildings on campus. "We've installed an energy management system, energy saving lights, and motion sensors in the classrooms", said Kolbe. "We also have in the works, a water saving plan, which will also help to cut back utility costs." , Even with these energy saving ideas, you can bet UW-Parkside will be keer.- ing it's fingers crossed, hoping that utility prices return to normal. The same can almostcertainlybe said for the students.

Do you have concerns about the programming that children are exposed to? Ifthe answer to either of these questions is "yes," then you get the chance to voice your opinion at an open forum discussion to be held at UW-Parkside. Today, children are exposed to more violence and improper material than ever before. If you have an opinion on TV being too violent, or if you think TV is fine, and there's nothing wrong with it, this forum will give you a chance to have your opinion heard. The forum will be used to help the project groups in Professor Megan Mullen's Broadcasting and Society class. Anyone who would be interested in coming in, and helping to facilitate discussion would be greatly appreciated. The date and time for this forum is not yet scheduled, but anyone interested should call Professor Mullen at ext. 2664. She can also be reached by e-mail at Mullenfsuwp.edu.

In urban and rural areas alike, community kitchens and meal programs are unable to meet food requests. Hunger is a way of life for 27 million Americans. Many of the hungry are also homeless' or on the verge of homelessness. Families with children make up 39 percent of the homeless population. There is enough food produced to feed everyone in the world. Yet, one person dies from hunger-related causes every forty seconds. ' The Parkside Volunteer Program and the Parkside Community Outreach Club are co-sponsoring the university's third annual Hunger Cleanup, a three hour community service work-a-thon in which students raise money while volunteering in programs for the hungry and homeless. Similar to a walk-athon, the Cleanup mobilizes thousands of students acrossthe country to gather pledges from family and friends for their volunteer work. Volunteer projects include painting local shelters, planting community gardens, and refurbishing low-income housing units. Money raised through this unique work-a-then benefits local, national, and international hunger and homeless programs. Fifty percent of the money raised will be donated to one Racine and one Kenosha agency; thirtyfive percent of the funds earned will go to the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness to educate and train students to be more effective in their efforts to end hunger and homelessness; and the remaining fifteen percent will be given to the International Development Exchange (IDEX)which sponsors grassroots community needs to fuel further change. Since the first Hunger Cleanup in 1984, the National Student Campaign Against Hunger and Homelessness (NSCABH) has worked with schools across the country to make it one of the most successful student and community events. More than 100,000 students have completed thousands of work projects, raising more than $1 million dollars in its 15-year history. This will be the third year that UWParkside participates in the national Bunger Cleanup, which is now in its seventeenth year of existence. Our Cleanup will be from 8:00a.m. - 2:00p.m. on Saturday, April 7. Volunteers will meet at Parkside at 8:00a.m. for registration and kickoff. At 9:30 a.m., teams of 8-10 volunteers each will travel to local worksites in Kenosha and Racine. At 1:00 p.m., volunteers will return to Parkside for lunch and reflection. Our UW-Parkside goal is to mobilize 100 student volunteers and raise $3,000. In order to achieve this goal, we are encouraging volunteers to raise $30 each. In addition to asking friends and families here in Wisconsin, we have a direct mail letter that students can send to relatives and others living out-ofstate to request their sponsorship. This service project would be a great opportunity for residence hall wings and apartments to develop unity and cohesion among residents. 1t also lends itself well to clubs/organizations who want to get to know one another better while helping in the community.

The series this :t,ear consistedof: Natalie MacMaster, The Nutcracker,"Arlo Guthrie, Ailey II, LustonHarris, "Annie," and The RiversideSymphony. Irecently spoke to Joanne Yantis, thedirector of Special Projects, about this wonderful series. She informed me that when she is picking out woups she looks for acts that people do notnecessarily know but the audience will remember them long after theperformance. She also books more traditionalacts such as "The Nutcracker" and "Annie". Yantis wants to get the students involved with this spectacular series At the beginning of the year, student~ are able to get the pack~ge for a thirty l'ercent discount. That IS seven fantastic shows .for jUs~ $79. If you wanted t? go see Annie in Chicago just one ticket would cost you around $80. If a person chooses to buy season tickets they will occupy the same seats for every performance and if someone should lose their tickets they can be replaced.

After the Sydney melee, Limp Bizkit went to the Big Day Out .I'romoters again and asked for a T-style barricade and extra security if they were to continue on the tour. They were concerned that more people would get hurt if extra measures weren't taken to prevent it. Ken West, and Vivian Le,:s refused their 'request, and Limp Bizkit responded saying that they would n'?t perform unless they knew that their fans would be safe. Denied further, one hour later Limp Bizkit was on a plane bound for the United States, officially taking themselves off the bill for the Big Day Out, issuing a statement saying that they prayed for the life of the girl. . .

This is the story of the A squad cheerleaders, Diane (Marley Shelton), Lucy, Hannah(Rachael Blanchard), Kansas( Mena Suvari), and Cleo at Lincoln High School. The quarterback of the football team, jack, asks Diane out at the beginning of the school year and before Homecoming she is pregnant and they are planning to be married. Their parents are not pleased. jack and Diane then go out and find a quaint place to live, but they have to get jobs in order to afford the living expenses. jack gets a job at a video store and Diane is hired at a .rank branch of a grocery store. As time progresses, Diane soon discovers that without money her baby is' never going to have the kind of life she's accustomed to. After talking it over with the rest of the squad they decide to . rob the bank branch because Diane can open the safe in her sleep. They watch "Point Break" and "Reservoir Dogs" to see how it's done and plan to disguise themselves as Betty Dolls.

They were not compensated in any way, and Australian group Powderfinger, who were already on the tour, were elevated to "headliner" status. Planning for 2001's Big Day Out had been a struggle to begin with. Ken West had rock group Pearl jam confirmed as the international headliner, but as the band was dropped from the bill because of the nine tragedies that had occurred during Pearl- jam's performance at the Rokslide Festiva1 in Europe earlier in 2000. While acknowledging that the incident was not Pearl jam's fault, Limp Bizkit was chosen because the Big Day Out had an "impeccable saftey record" and that was not to be jeopardized. Limp Bizkit have been known to have intense mosh pits during their performances. During their set at Woodstock, fires were set and a riot occurred. Despite their track record, they were chosen to headline the ·event. Promoters could not have "overlooked" the fact that the band has had some violence associated with its performances, but because there were no official "tragedies," they were selected. So where does the blame lie when tragedies, such as the death of an 18 year old girl, occur? People are quick to blame the performers themselves for such incidents. They also place blame with security personnel. But the real blame should lie with the'promoters and organizers. Althougfi. crowd surges and riots are not planned occurrences, promoters of such events as the Big Day Out, the Rokslide Festival, and Woodstock, are responsible to take the proper precautions in case one should, Things such as extra security and barriers for crowd control would help to prevent tragedies such as death and severe injuries from happening. These things should be met With no objections, as the lives of the people who pay to see the acts are at stake.

Students praised Prof. Price Paid For Being a Professional Athlete By Dena Coady • Ex-NBA player Charles Barkley once said, "I am not a role model." What Charles forgot is that no matter what children will always look up to professional athletes as their "heroes." Lately, however, a number of professional athletes have been in the news with their off-court actions. Such as Jason Kidd, who plays for the Phoenix Suns, being arrested for allegedly hittmg his WIfe. Ray Lewis, who not only helped his team win Super Bowl XXXV,but also the game's most valuable player, was in tro~ble after last year:s Super Bowl for bemg present at a fight in which two people were killed. Murder charges against Lewis were dropped once he pleaded gul1ty to obstruction of justice. o Locally, the professio~al athlete who was in the media for his off-the-field problems was Mark Chmura, formerly' of the Green Bay Packers. Chmura Was accused of sexual assault and-:child enticement against his 17-year-old babysitter. According to the testimony, Chmura and the teenage girl were drinking together in a hot tub, and he later had sex with the girl. Two things are wrong with this. First of all, what was Chmura doing at a post prom party with teenagers? Secondly, Why was a 17-year old drinking? Chmura claims he was going on a !,oIftnp WIth the father of the girl havmg the party. So he deci~ed to sleep o over smce they were gomg to leave early. Chmura was found not guilty of all charges. Now there is speculation that the girl might have lying about the whole thing. No matter if Chmura was really not guilty, he shouldn't have been in that situation. Only two people know what really happened that night: Mark Chmura and the 17-year old girl. o Are these the types of people you want your children to grow up saying "I want to be just like him?" As profes~ sional athletes, they should know if they'r~ getting into a potentially illegal situation. Chmura did say in a news conference with the media, "As a professional athlete and a Green 13ay Packer, I put myself in a situation that I shouldn't have and for that I am sorry," . Well, at least Chmura knew he was wrong. The NFL says no teams can talk to Chmura until he meets with commissioner Paul Tagliabue. Until then, Chmura will have to wait to find out his fate. .

Sublett's Sensational Weekend Not Enough UW-Parkside guard Denita Sublett was nothing short of sensationalWhen the Lady Rangers played Bellarmine University last Thursday and Kentucky Wesleyan on Saturday. Her teammate Joy Rodefer was merely wonderful on both occasions but It wasn't enough to keep the team from dropping both games, puttin~ then conference tournament liopes in serious doubt Sublett poured in 26 points andhad four steals against Bellannine while Rodefer had 14 and collected eight rebounds in an 86-73 loss. The Lady Rangers' inability to hit from threepoint land was a problem. Coach Paulette Stein's team shot just 1-101'-13 from ou tside the arc. Amazingly, both Sublett and Rodefer were even better on Saturdayafternoon against Kentucky Wesleyan. Denita shot better than 50 percentfrom the floor to score 28 points whileJoy had 17 points and eight rebounds,but the Panthers still won 86-83.KWCwas led by Leslie Warren with 22points With the losses, the Lady Rangel> were just 3-12 in the Great Lakevanl!} Conference (6-15 overall) going into Tuesday'S game with Lewis Univel5ity.

Men's Basketball: Rangers Drop Two in Kentuckv UW-Parkside men's basketball coach jeff Rutter seldom complains to the media about referees. So when he does question the stripes within earshot of a microphone or notepad you know he's upset. Following UW-Parkside's 66-60 loss to Bellarmine University in Louisville last Thursday, Rutter took exception to a poorly timed taunting call against center NIck Knuth. The call limited Knuth's playing time in the second half and did not allow him to go to the basket as aggressively as he would have without foul trouble. The problem came with 16:51left in the second half. Knuth banged down a jumper to give the Rangers a 33-37 lead, but he was called for taunting after the basket. Moments later he was called for an illegal screen and his evening was effectively over. Fouls limited him to 24 minutes and seven points. "It was a very, very questionable call," Rutter said. "It was nothing more than a competitive expression. Not having [Knuth] was a big factor." Not being able to stop Bellarmine forwards jared McCurry and Adam Etienne also was a big factor. Both scored 14 points each. Marlon Grice led the Rangers with 16, Quincey Moman poured in 13 points and cleared seven rebounds, Brian Maastricht contributed 1l. Saturday's game at Kentucky Wesleyan got ugly early and never got much better. The Panthers, ranked number 10 in the nation for NCAA Division II schools, took a 14 point lead into the locker room at the half. The Rangers cut it to eight but never got closer in an 34-59 loss. Knuth became a fan favorite among KWC partisans with his physical play under the basket in leading the Rangers with 13 points. Brian Coffman had 15, and Q had a game high eight rebounds. Kentucky Wesleyan got 19 from Ronald Evans and 17 from Lorico Duncan. The losses left the Rangers 9-12 overall and 6-9 in the Great Lake Valley Conference going into Tuesday's game with Lewis University, They close out the horne schedule tonight against Southern Indiana and Saturday against SIU-Edwardsville at the De Simone Gym.

Presents niall Radion Feb. 23 Mar. 2 , The Plays at Parkside series presents six performances of the taut drama 'TalK Radio," Feb. 23 through Mar. 2. Performances are in the Augie Wegner Studio Theatre. Playwright Eric Bogasian brings to the theater a one-act play that gves a new definition to the word bold." Main character Barry Champlain is an obnoxious radio personality whose ratings climb with each show. Champlain t'has built a following on the sensational and sarcastic comments he has for his callers. Instead of warm, fuzzy solutions to their problems, he taunts them then disconnects them. "Talk Radio" examines what happens when Cham- . plain takes his "shtick" too far. "'Talk Radio' is an interesting exploration of what people in our society are drawn to, and what our society feeds off of," said Director and UW-Parkside Professor of Dramatic Arts Tom Sunstrom. "Talk Radio" deals frankly with American society, the media, and the , direct impact it can have on individuals. Performers include Rick Ditter, Kevin Sustachek, Brad Kostreva, Jenny Toutant, Joe Piirto, Tim Bohn, Paul Ley, Amanda Albrecht, Dan Grzeskowiak, Melissa Laurence, and Stephanie Holguin. The play's technical crew includes scenic designer Joe Piirto, stage manager Lana Lincoln,· costume designer Judith Tucker-Snider, and lighting designer Steve Sorensen.

"We did this last year, and it was a lot of fun for us as well as for the students -, commented N ' ancy Schroeder, bookstore manager. "It's informative to studentsand it will be interesting to see which issues on the ballot stud~nts were most interested by." Students voted for their presi- dential did . can I ates of choice and indicated, from a list, the top three campaign issues that influ- enced their vote. The voting was conducted in conjunction with 500 other colleges and universi- ties nationwide. The bookstore was open .during regular business hours Oct.- 23 and students had the opportunity to vote at anytime dur ing the day. Election results will 'be made available to the media and posted in the University bookstore before Oct. 3 I. Results will include a listing of how students at UW-Parkside voted, along with national results from the 500 other colleges and universities that participated in the voting. The Pre-Election was designed to create interest in the Presidential Election that will take place on Nov. 6, as well as the campaign issues that sur- round it. The Pre-Election was also designed as a reminder to UW-Parkside students of the importance of getting out their vote. The campaign was sponsored by Follett College Stores.

ESTABLISHED 1972 Contest aimed to increase athletic atten- dance;"flip the bill" for tuition costs BY MARK HAHN NEWS EDITOR Students now have a chance to take time out to attend sport- ing events while at the same time covering their tuition costs in a new contest offered this year at the University of Wisconsin- Parks ide. Each time a student attends a home volleyball match, basket- ball game, or wrestling dual meet this year at UW-Parkside, they can sign their name at the desig- nated place and time and enter themselves into a drawing to be held at the last home basketball game of the season. The contest provides a way for students to get their tuition at the in-state rate paid for next fall, or get reimbursed for the tuition students pay second semester if they graduate at the end of the academic year. Student fees are not included. "We're trying to do something positive to provide more oppor- tunities to get students involved with campus events," explained Dr. Lenny Klaver, director of athletics. "UW-Parkside is pri- marily a commuter school and it's harder to get students who don't live on campus to get involved. This could be a way to get people to come to athletic events who might otherwise not come." Klaver also said that poor atten- dance at sporting events such as men's basketball games can have a negative impact on the perfor- mance of athletic teams. "It can be a dismal to student athletes performing when there is nobody watching in the stands;' explained Klaver. "This could be a way to develop enthusiasm as well as give students some incen- tive to get involved." Klaver commented that a lot of students at the University may not be aware of what level of competition UW-Parkside's ath-, letic teams play at in their respective conference. "In basketball, the Great Lakes Valley Conference is outstand- ing," said Klaver. "The confer- ence is recognized very highly in NCAA Division II Basketball." Each time a student attends an athletic event at UW..Parkside and signs up for the contest, they increase their chances of win- ning. Students can sign their names on a slip of paper handed out at the beginning of the event when they show their valid UW- Parkside IDs, and students can put the slip into the designated box that is available on their way out after the event. A schedule of UW- Parkside's sporting events can be picked up at the Athletic Office or at the student Donn Office. Students are allowed only one entry per night, and only current UW-Parkside students are eligi- ble to enter. Scholarship' ath letes are not eligible to enter the con- test. __________________ -...;1 •oMSA coordinator's retire- ment/page 5 • Brad Pitt's Twelve Monkeys now on video/page 8 •Women's Volleyball team returns home for two games this week- end/page 9 VOLUME 25 • ISSUE 8 • OCTOBER 24, 1996 PHOTO BY SCOTT KOLP 'with kallo,,,een )"st ato"nd the Cotnet, many lo<al people a,e getting into the SPIAIT <,lo P"" intended) IBOOI Presidential Pre-Election Held at University Bookstore RANGER NEWS REPORT .

Tuition Shortfall Costs' Parkside: Fewer Continuing Students, Better Jobs, Could Be Key • Ranger News Staff Report A dip in enrollment will cost the University of Wisconsin- Parkside an estimated $697,000 this year, under a new UW System policy which penalizes campuses for missing their enrollment targets when student numbers fall. Parkside projects a student full-time equivalent (ITEJ of 3, 160 for the 1996-97 academic year. Administrators at the university said this is 3.1 percent below the fall 1995 enrollment of 3,262 ITE's. The projection is also 8.7 percent below this year's enrollment target of 3,461. This will cost the university $697,000- the amount it missed in its tuition target of $7,324,704. Under the new UW System policy, each campus is assessed the full amount of any shortfall. In turn, campuses are "rewarded" by being allowed to keep 75 percent of any tuition they collect that exceeds projected targets. "It looks like we'll be able to identify enough sources to ...

She even has some stuck on her window and hlinds. . "I was told that everything I put a green dot on I could take with me to put in my new office, but our new offices don't have any windows," Barbara explained. "We were all very sad and grieving our loss of windows. Therefore, we had the brilliant idea of putting green dots on them." She is UW-Parkside's Senior Counselor in the Student Counseling Office, presently located in Molinaro D124. Barbara and co-workers Marcy Cayo, UWParkside's Prevention Program' Manager and Counselor, have most of their boxes packed and stacked as they prepare for their move to the new Student Health &. Counseling Center, as it will be called. Because the Health Office required more space for its clinic, which will help meet regulations for a medical room among other things, the Student Health and Counseling Offices will move to the new --- .....--------------- facility sometime this year, which is located behind ... HEALTH OFFICE, cont. on Tallent Hall. Barbara, a UW-Parkside employee since 1969, page 3 and Marcy, who has been here four academic years, said that students, staff and faculty are questioning why Counseling cannot remain on the main campus. and they're just as confounded. ' Barbara and Marcy also stated that one reason they cannot stay is because they are unable to get approval for a full-time support staff. In addition, they do not have the authority to decide whether they will stay or go. UniflersitlJ Police Beat Sept. 3.

Studies have shown that there is a trend in the UW System regarding campuses not exceeding projected enrollment targets. Grace is CUfto deal deficit. steps said that at UW-Pa~kside, the predominant cause of the enrollment slide is the robust economy in the area. "Most of the shortfall in student enrollment is from OUT adult students in the Racine area- the economy is so good right now that people are more likely to pursue ~ job than an education." According to university officials, other possible factors contributing to low enrollment at Parkside may include: • An apparent "shift" from college federal grants to student loans. • Women and racial minorities who make up a large percentage of Parkside students tend to take fewer credits. "The main thing the university is doing is going through a strategic planning exercise to review all of our programs and services and make sure they are relevent to what contemporary students want to take," said Grace . Currently, construction on a new dormitory is underway at the University. Officials hope it will help to expand recruiting efforts to areas outside the Racine and Kenosha area. c ~ I 1996·page2i #cc" _c, J Campus News ~tA Glance • UW-Parkside 1997-98 Scholarship Applications Now Available Applications for the 1997-98 UW-Parkside Scholarship Program are now available.

Possible Reasons for Shortfall Cited • Ranger News Staff Report Fewer returning students and better job opportunities may account for the current enrollment shortfall at the University of Wisconsin-Parks ide, . According to exit interviews conducted by the University, about 47 percent of those students eligible to return are 'stopouts" who say they intend to enroll again in a semester or two; about 33 percent plan to transfer and 17 percent are uncertain of their future education plans. The proportion of those students not returning due to transfer (33 percent) closely correlates with the proportion of new students (37 percent) who, at the time of enrollment, reported on the UCLA Survey of Freshman Cooperative Institutional Research Program (CIRP) that they never intended to complete a degree at UWParkside but to transfer. Of those students "stopping out" or who are uncertain of their future education plans, 30 percent say their reasons for doing so are personal. Roughly 40 percent cited financial or employment reasons for not returning at the present time. Studies have shown that in recent years, that UWParkside's enrollment has fallen around the same time when the economy is strong and unemployment low. In addition, the number of students receiving federal financial aid at UW-Parkside since 1992- 93 has increased nearly 25 percent and loans as a financial aid source have increased greatly. Sources also indicated that many students may not have the resources or may be "leery" of taking on an even greater debt to pay for college. Studies have shown that UW-Parkside is currently enrolling more women and students of color than in previous years. In 1995-96, women made up 59 percent of student enrollment compared to 49 percent in 1986-87. In 1995-96, students of color made up 12.7' percent of student enrollment compared to 6.7 percent in 1986-86. ersity of Wiscons Parkside 900 Wood Rd Kenosha, WI 53141- 2000 14) 595-2287 Editor-In-Chief Kristine Hansen Managing Editor April Schoenberg Business Manager Derek Bishop News Editor Mark Hahn Ass!.

With the guidance of the OMSA office and director Anthony Brown, the mentoring program is designed to provide a supportive experience for the personal and intellectual development of the underrepresented racial/ethnic first year student. The specific objectives are to provide a continuing orientation to the University and community life, to help students develop a sense of belonging, to help students identify positively with • Derek Bishop Business Manager According to The American Heritage Dictionary, a 'mentor is " a wise and trusted counselor or teacher." In Greek mythology, a mentor was a trusted counselor into whose care Odysseus placed his son Telemachus. In this role, mentor was a surrogate parent, teacher and protector. The Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMSA) has initiated a mentor program for the 1996 fall semester for students with the University by demonstrating a genuine concern for them, and to inspire students through moral support. The long term objectives of the mentoring program are to increase student retention and provide an ongoing orientation to all aspects of the University. Faculty and staff mentors have set numerous individual goals and objectives,. and have planned many activities for the students. For more information contact the OMSA office, in WYLL182. Health office move continued from page I Barbara Larson (left) and Marcy Cayo of the Student Counseling Office in Molinaro 0124. They are concerned about whether or not students will be able to find the new facility and if they will utilize the counseling services as they have in the past. Barbara wondered if enough students will learn about their new location: ''Will we be able to communicate to enough people to utilize the service to let them know that we're down here? Because there are students who don't even know we're here on the main campus." "Our concern is making sure people utilize the service; that we're able to keep people aware that we exist, where we are , and that we're a valuable service," explained Marcy. Barbara and Marcy emphasized that the counseling services are very valuable to students and they hope students will continue to utilize and take advantage of their free services, which are paid for through segregated fees. They also mentioned that to see someone in the community would cost between $85-$95 an hour. Therefore, ten sessions with one of UW-Parkside's counselors would save a student almost $900. An additional advantage to Parkside's counseling services is the short waiting period to meet with a counselor. "You may come in and have to wait only two or three days." Marcy then addressed the fact that in the In Mem''''J of John C.

How do students know whether or not they need these services? Barbara Larson answered, "I think if people have issues which are interfering with their lives, then they know they need help of some sort. There's something going on that Interferes with attaining their goals in life." Marcy explained that the services cover many issues. "Academically, personally, socially, in your relationship Or if things aren't going the way you want them to. We see everything from, IMy roommate is driving me crazy,' to depression, to some severe mental illness, to sexual assault." '1b those students who may be reluctant to seek counseling services, Marcy emphasized the confidentiality aspect, "Not only is it confidential, but it. is not tied to your academic record in any way, shape, or form." Once the Student Counceling Office moves to its new location Marcy believes it may be somewhat of a challenge for students to see them, particularly if students need to see one of the counselors between classes, and Barbara stated that "more of a commitment will be necessary for students to stay with counseling." Resident Hall Advisors Beef Up Staff • Becky Schlevensky Ranger Reporter The beginning of another school year introduced two new residence hall coordinators and nine new residence hall advisors. Seniors Arlette Kambwa and Jeff Rhein were appointed Resident Advisors (RA) coordinators. Sergio Correa, Jennifer Crum, Stephanie Goth, Stephanie Hess, Jamilaisha Nicholson, Charles Paksi, Steven Proesel, Randy Bunders and LaShawn Stanton were assigned to each housing unit as RAs. The RA training week which was led by Steve WaIner, Arlette Kambwa and Jeff Rhein, took place from Aug. 25- 30. The training concentrated on programming (holding activities for residents.) Each RA will be responsible for putting on one activity for each .. six issues which make up the "Wellness Wheel"--education, occupation, intelligence, physical, spiritual and social. Because the campus community includes individuals of all races and sexual preferences, diversity will be dealt with daily. The RAs will try to establish an atmosphere of acceptance and respect. "You don't earn respect by being a certain race, gender, or sexual preference, but by the way you present yourself." said Stephanie Hess. With the RAs working along with the RA coordinators, they hope to have a safe, healthy, problem-free year. However, if conflicts between roommates do arise, HAs will be available for mediation. The main goal will be to "provide a healthy living environment for students by enforcing policies of housing and the university," said Jamilaishia Nicholson.

Ground breaking on the new $170,000 complex started in late August with completion scheduled for spring of 1997. Dr. Lenny Laver explained the need for a new field.

You give me money to invest for you. If during this Maria's Melange: It's Nice To Be VVoman When does a woman 'become woman? Is it when her young body shows the first signs of reproductive growth? Has she become a woman then? Or what about when she has her first menstrual cycle? Does she qualify at THAT point? Is she a woman when her hips decide to curve and her breasts make their presence known? How about when she turns eighteen? Isn't that supposed to signify adulthood? Maybe when she's had her first love or her first sexual encounter? . Is that when it happens? Surely she is woman when she weds. Or is she? Of course, only a woman can give birth to children, but is that true? WIlen does a woman reach a place that is called "woman?" When does she know, when does she feel it? When I was sixteen, I had a body that told me and the world, I was woman. I was reckless, careless and had no clue ...but I thought I did. When I was eighteen, I was very proud to say, "I'm eighteen," because then, everyone would know I was woman. I was anxious, inexperienced and had no clue ...but .{ thought I did. When I was twenty-one and had perfected the art of saying "yes" to men and "no" to myself, I thought I was in charge, I thought I was woman. When I was twenty-three and I took someone else's name and lost my own, I felt certain that that rite of passage made me woman. But again, I was wrong. When I was twenty-four, I would trip over myself trying to please my husband, my neighbors, my family and friends. Wben I was twenty-five and my husband took me from my childhood roots in Florida and brought me to Wisconsin, I thought, "Only a woman would support her husband's decision to move, putting up no fuss and lending me no opinion," but that wasn't true. When I was twenty-seven and knew how to cook a gourmet meal for a dinner party of twelve, sew a button on a shirt in two minutes flat, do one month's worth of grocery shopping in under one hour and with only one hundred dollars then proceed to the bedroom for another of life's rituals with my husband, I thought I was woman, but I was wrong. When I was twenty-eight and learned how to perfect a fake smile, sexual gratification and interest in what others were saying, it hit me. I knew something was off; I knew my supposed "womaness" had NEVER been in place. I turned inward. All of a sudden, I started realizing that my fantasy of what was woman had been imposed on me by family, friends, strangers and society's view of my gender roles. That's when my true self began emerging. I began listening to my own voice instead of everyone else's. I started asking myself, "What do YOU think, Maria?" I began looking at my relationships, all my relationships, differently. As a result, I lost many friends, family members and parts of my marriage. It turns out, they didn't want to know someone who had a mind of her own, who didn't care to ask permission anymore. I had surrounded myself with people who loved me as long as I was tending to them and not myself. I guess that's what I was taught: a woman takes care of the home, the husband. the housework. ..but not herself. What a terrible lesson. In a few weeks I'll be thirty. And, although I see perky, young "girls" walking to and fro about the campus, I must smile ...because I see that they think they have all the answers ...but they don't. Students who are interested in voting in the Nov. 5 election can register at the polls on Election Day. Students who live in the University of Wisconsin- Parks ide residence halls can vote at the Somer's Fire Station Number 2, 818 12th St. Ynu must provide appropriate identification (e.g. driver's license) and proof of residency (e.g. a utility bill with current address). Qualified student voters can cast their votes in the Nov. 5 election for both national (President and Congress persons) and state candidates (state senators, state representatives, etc.), Any student who is a U.S. citizen and at least eighteen years of age but who won't have ten days of residency by Nov. 5 can still vote in the presidential election, but must sign an oath that he/she hasn't voted in another voting district in this election and can only vote for President. I smile because I finally know how to give myself what I need and know how to say. "to hell with everyone else." I'm no longer caught up in what society thinks I should be doing. Society hands out poor lessons all the time. I don't take orders from people anymore and even find myself giving them from time to time. I've given all of my loved ones ultimatums, not because I'm a bitch, but because I'm done being a doormat. They've all receded. I've learned how to truly laugh hard and feel it throughout my body and into my soul, I've come to appreciate the notion of a tender kiss as opposed to a night of sex with someone named "Louie." I enjoy waking up and doing exactly the opposite of what it was I'd planned to do that day. I don't cry over everything anymore; I just move on. Instead of trying to convince people to see my views, I simply voice my opinion and walk ... Maria's Melange, cont. on page 11 -- .Scott Malik Entertainment Editor I was at a party with my ex (she wasn't my ex at the time, but it was shortly after this most wonderful incident that she became my ex), and we both had a little too much to drink. It wasn't long before I got accused of everything under the sun from wanting to sleep with a girl at the party to being a big asshole to being the one on the grassy knoll in Dallas. The thing about this particular fight, however, is that it wasn't between my girlfriend and I. We had a crowd of many. Someof whom could be heard scalping front row seats and selling binoculars to those unfortunate enough to have arrived late. Many of you female readers will probably say I deserved it because I flirted or something. (I didn't.) Many of my faithful, football-watch- He Said, She Said: Fighting in Public ing, beer-drinking-and-fartin g- 0 n -the -c 0 lie h-e n - a- Sunday-afternoon manly Army supporters will say I should have left her there. Well, that's what I did. But then as I crawled into bed something hit me: I was going to remember this and she, most likely, wouldn't. And it was to be my ass if she woke up in someone's backyard. So I went back and got her and she was only more smashed. Kids, that was myexperience with public hostility and it was not good. I can't say it is the most comfortable thing on Earth. It is difficult to watch people scream at each other and reveal secrets about how the other shaves his (or her) back. She throws anything within reach at you and you have to act like a goalie for a hockey team and dodge for your life! Keep your cool, guys. After all, there are only so many things she can whip at you at light speed that you can't see coming as long as you keep a safe distance. And then again, from the other side, when you are so angry with your loved one that you just want to deal with it NOW you don't really care if your mother was there. And if anyone cares to contradict that, well then you have never been that angry. Seriously, with great anger comes great love. Only those closest to us have the ability to get-to us that strongly. That's the thought to hold on to when you can't look her in the eyes. Remember how much she means to you and think of the first time you ever saw her. Just love her. • Morgan Harcey Ranger Columnist Here's the scenario. You're out with a bunch of your friends when two of them, who happen to be dating, start to fight. I don't mean to have an "argument" or to "quarrel." I mean knock 'em down, ring the bell for the next round type of fight. As a friend, there is nothing more uncomfortable than having to listen to it. Especially if one or both of them start looking to you for answers, approvals, or anything else. The worst is when to step in; or if you should step in at aiL What I want to know is, why is it a necessity for the couple to start fighting right there in public? I know, some of you might say, "If I have something to say, I am going to say it and I don't care who's around!" First off, nobody likes to hear two friends fight. No, I take that back. Nobody likes to hear anyone fight. Ninety-nine percent of tbe people I know feel on edge when they hear someone arguing and feel even worse when it happens between two friends. Unless the fighting becomes a weekly ceremony; in that case, I would have to suggest blowtorch the chain because after awhile it gets a little dull. Plus, it must get a little embarassing when you hear your friends tell people, "They always fight like that." Second, you could risk friendships by trying to get other friends involved. Example, a situation where you normally hear something like this: "Rick said ......" or "Tiffany says ....". Who really appreciates that? Lastly, I don't know one couple whom have quietly gone off to be in private to fight. Not one couple has ever .stepped away to go yell in their. car. It's almost like a fight would not be the same without your friends around. Has anyone wondered if fights are less dramatic when there is no one around to witness it? It is like watching some sick contest that no one wants to lose. He cuts her down to make himself look macho. She does the same. She loses her emotional control. He manipulates her without remorse. "(This does not mean there are no women out there who manipulate. I've seen some true goddesses.) In closing, I'd like to suggest that if you and your beau tend to have a lot of boxing matches that you consider your friends. Maybe wait until later to fight or if you can't hold it in, vacate the preraises. Don't ruin everyone else's good time. For friends, I would say next time a couple, whom just happen to be your friends, get into a kick boxing match, just tum around, and walk away. They should have the courtesy not to make everyone else uncomfortable. Maria's Melange cont. from page I 0 _ away. I examine people more closely now and am not afraid to tell someone what I think about them or anything else. I can still cook, but now I don't feel like my acceptance into the world of 'womaness" requires me to do so. I enjoy conversation more now than ever before. When I was twenty-one, I didn't know how to listen or how to be heard. I'm much more sensual now and allow myself to feel sexy and see that it is not naughty, just woman. I know what I like, what I don't like and won't accept anything less. I'm selfish now, but still enjoy giving. I wear what I want, do what I want, go where I' want and' although I tell some where I'm headed, I don't feel as though I'm seeking approval from anyone to go there. I like getting in the faces of people who challenge me; they never expect it from a "woman." I enjoy showing them that I have, in addition to breasts, a mind of my own. I am happy to go places by myself now, I don't need a man. I just happen to choose to be with one. All of a sudden, I have choices. I feel like I've been liberated from my enslaved gender- roles. I choose to be what I want, I don't just blindly do it because of society. It's nice to finally inderstanf myself. It's nice to HAVEand MAKE choices. It's nice to be woman. Get Your Butt Out There and Vote! -Corey Mandley Ranger Columnist . Well it's about that time for all Americans over the age of eighteen to use a powerful tool that shapes our society. That's right: it's time to vote. Now I know what you're thinking ."1 don't need to vote, what can one stupid vote do?" Now, imagine if over 20 million Americans took that same attitude of "my vote doesn't matter". Well, it does happen and usually. future generations usually end up paying the price for such carelessness. t Let's look to the past and see how much voting meant to people. Being of African descent, I take voting very seriously. My people fought since the times of slavery to have the right to vote. African Americans were beaten and even killed in order to be d'enied the privilege of voting. Ask yourself this question.t'Ia the right to vote really worth dying over?" It amazes me that even after the 1965 Voting Rights Act which stated that "sex nor race will not have the effect of denying or abridging the right to vote," I find it very hard to believe that even after all the hard work and devotion that people of all colors put into the struggle for the right to vote, many today just don't care. In the present ,voting is a very powerful instrument from which people can be heard. More than ever people need to 'wake up and look at what our nation is facing. There are many issues of concerns that everyone must face. Welfare reform is a hot button issue. Many believe that everyone should' work in order to survive. But others feel that in order to dismantle welfare there has to be real job opportunities after welfare is gone or else thousands of children will go even deeper into poverty. Education cutbacks is a definite major in today's politics. If more federal cutback laws on education are passed, will - that be denying a college education to teens who cannot afford it? Or will such cutbacks help reduce Americas already tremendous deficit. If you don't use your vote on key issues such as these .then you don't really give a damn what happens to the children of the future. We, as young people, need to wake up and smell the coffee. If we don't speak our minds by using our votes then our future looks very gloomy. Think about it . Twenty years from now our generation will, be running this country. If we don't intervene with the times now at hand then .we are giving up on our future. We desperately need to stand as one as say "We shall control our own destinies." In order to make this country better we have to use our right to vote. But in order to use our vote we must first register to vote. If you don't know how, go to a post office and find out how. Also, in order to vote you should familiarize yourself with the issues at hand today, If we can get the vote out then our voice will be heard. We must remember that the power in this country is in the hands of those who learn how to use the system. I Alternativ•e or Individual? Amy L. Stindt P. ,~nr (',.,1 . What is "alternative?" Is it something that defies all "normalcy" and enters a style that attracts the, dare I say it Freaks? Or is it teenyboppers trying to be so different and individ~alistic that, well, they're all the same? I don't know, though I wish I did. I always cringed an,d still do whe? someone labels me alternative by saying "Youd like him, he s alternative!" So? What are the qualifications of this soul? Am I alternative because I have my nose pierced and only shop at used clothing stores with vintage clothing? Or am I ju~t economically smart (minus the $35 I spent for the hole m my nose?) , Now that basically every single person has, or doesn t have a tatoo branded on them, I guess everyone has made an attempt to enter the freakish world of alternativism. If alternative has become so mainstream please, I beg of you, refrain from titleing me that. However, I'll still keep buying the nose rings and shopping for outfits under $10 that's just me. It isn't a label I want to be categorized under. It's a personal statement. Sick of those endless one-liners and mind games?

Geology Students Explore the Grand Canyon -Amanda Bulgrin Assistant News Editor Students in the University of Wisconsin-Parkside's GEOL 0370/0570 course (Field Studies in Regional Geology) took a trip to the Grand Canyon this summer. Led by Dr. Gerald Fowler, professor of Geology, the trip's aim was to extend beyond the classroom learning experience. Before the trip began, students were required to write a paper that was turned into a booklet and followed throughout the trip. There was also a workbook to be completed in order to receive the three credits. The group left on June 15 and headed out on the highway for two weeks of geological education. Along the way to the Grand Canyon the explorers made educational stops at museums and campgrounds to enhance their learning. After four days of travel the group arrived at the Grand Canyon. Allison Barta, a geology major, was in awe of the size and age of the canyon upon first sight. "1 was completely awestruck," Barta said with excitement, "The fishnu schist was my favorite part; it. was all shinney. I got to walk on a lava flow. we saw rocks with images carved into them, and it was so huge and old!" Jack Miles enjoyed being away from civilization. "We spent days in the canyon without being bothered by phones and other people," Miles stated. "The climb out was the hardest part," claimed Barta, "But then when you got back up to the top, you just looked down and thought 'I can't believe that I was down there." What Liz Bienemann took out of the experience was that she could succeed at anything she set her mind to. "Yourealize that you can get by on your own," Bienemann said. "You drive yourself to do things that you didn't think were possible. It After their exploration of the Grand Canyon the group headed back home, making more educational stops while discussing geology along the way. Bienemann added, "Dr. Fowler did a terrific job; he took the time to lead the students, and for that I thank him."

Quincy opened up against the visiting Rangers by playing stingy defense and committing few errors, taking the lead in game one 8-13, but the host squad wasn't able to sustain the offensive onslaught by the Parkside squad and succumbed to V.W.P. 15-13. The Eagles never regained their composure and Parkside routed the brown and gold in the next two games by scores of 15-9 and 15-8, Junior outside hitter Leigh Eckert led the way for the Rangers tallying 16 kills. Saturday saw UW-Parkside take on regionally ranked (#4) University of Missouri-St. Louis. The home team was keyed up for the match and in game one disposed of the Rangers easily by a score of 6- 15. Game two saw a much more relaxed and confident Parkside team take the floor. The Rangers held their own in game two siding out easily with U.M.S.L. until at 10-10, St. Louis pulled away and took game 2 by a score of 10-15. Game three was more of the same, intense volleyball by both teams. Parkside again had a chance to take the game and reestablish themselves, but the home team came away with a hard fought win 14-16. Parkside is now 5-5 on the season and 1-1 in Great Lakes Conference play. The Rangers next two matches are home versus Southern Illinois-Edwardsville on Friday September 20 at 7 pm and Saturday September 21 at 1 pm versus University of Indianapolis.

Goalkeeper Shelley Davis had an outstanding performance, saving many hard-driven shots by the Illinois attackers. "SlUE is an excellent team and they knQlV how to score," said UW-Parkside head coach Oscar Suman, "Weheld them defensively, but we just didn't keep their defensebusy enough." Prior to the two losses, the team had better luck earlier in the week against Rebert Morris College, with a 7-0 victory. Goals were scored by Melissa Lieb, Jennifer Ross, Nana Torres, Tracy Rosiak, Natalie Weber, and Jeanette Claude. The Rangers are looking forward to two tough conference games this weekend, both at noon at the Wood Road SoccerField. Tracy Rosiak Ranger Reporter It was an appropriate weekend for bad luck, and the Parkside Women's Soccer Team experienced it. On Saturday, the University of Southern Indiana handed them a 2-0 loss. Parkside was outplayed in the first half, but came back strong in the second half. Unfortunately, they came up empty-handed. With key defensive players Angie Moulton, Erin Miller, and Jeanette Claude fighting-injuries, the. newest members of the team were expected to fill the veterans' roles. Sunday's -game was against nationally- Men's Soccer trounce Trin ity; Trip against Truman the second half. Parkside outshot the Bullgdogs 10-7 in the second half and knotted the game at one on a goal by Jason Zitzke at 54:55. Parkside was clearing the ball down the left side, off the flank, some 28 yards out from the goal. Zitzke battled for the ball and caught the Truman State goal keeper off his line. The keeper could only watch as the ball was placed beautifully in the back of the net. However, Parkside's celebration was short-lived as four minutes later the Bulldogs capitalized on a Ranger defensive lapse and increased their lead 2-1. With about twenty minutes left in the game, UWP turned up the offensive pressure but-couldn't find the net. The final score was Truman State Bulldogs 2 and your Parkside Rangers 1. A special thanks goes out to all the fans and their support that were at the game. Hopefully you will continue your support. Come and see the team bounce back as they take on conference rivals Lewis University on Friday,September 20, at 4:30 p.m. and St. Joeseph's College on Sunday,September 22, at 2:00 p.m. at the Wood Road Soccer Field. by Craig Posselt Ranger Reporter Last Saturday, the men's soccer team defeated Trinity University by a score of 9-0. The score had resembled the scores of the team's other two matches as well, 5-1 against the University of Missouri-R~lIa and 12-0 against Lakeland University. The Rangers have pretty much had their way with their opponents in the past three 9amesbut would soon discover why Truman State University is a formidable Division II opponent. The Bulldogs and Rangers began at a blistering pace. Parkside seemedto have the edge by dominating the shots on goal and corner kicks, as well as fan support.

Building to Be Submitted Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document RANGER VOLUME 24 • ISSUE 19 • FEBRUARY 1996 Revised Plans For Phy. Ed. Building to Be Submitted .Mark Hahn Staff Writer Revised pl ans for the pro- posed Physical Education Building expansion project are being submitted to the State of Wisconsin in order to fit the building plan into the amount of money allo- cated for the project. "The State building com- mission took the project and said. 'We will give you $4.6 million for Phase 1 of the project.' But up to that point, the architects were working on a premise for a $9 million building," said Steve McLaughlin, dean of students. "When a project like this is cut down the middle, you have to go back and revise the project to fit within the $4.6 million limit. The University's plan is to go back (to the state) and request the other half of the money to finish the project as originally intended," said McLaughlin. "It provides challenges to get the functional space you need within that set dollar amount. Also, the longer you delay, the more costly it gets - construction costs go up as inflation does." The current project is in the hands of the architect, Brian Thom of Fisher, Fisher and Theis- a firm in the Waukesha-Milwaukee area. Thorn will be submitting a design report to the State of Wisconsin Division of Facilities Development (DFD) within the next week. In the project's final review, it will be studied by DFD personnel and will then go to the State build- ing commission for approval. According to William Streeter, assistant chancel- lor of administrative and fiscal affairs, the original program statement for the project went forward in 1992, to be funded in the 1993-95 biennium. "We didn't get the project that biennium, but the ... chancellor at the time, Sheila Kaplan, was able to United Council meeting held at Parkside ESTABLISHED 1972 get a commitment of $100,000 for planning money. We then submitted the total project for the 1995-97 biennium," said Streeter. Streeter said that when the State cut the original project in half last year, it was divided into two phas- es. "What we're working on right now are the-detailed plans for Phase 1, and we're also going forward to try to secure funds for Phase 2," said Streeter. "We want to complete the structure with a field house for the 1997-99 biennium." Renovations in Phase 1 of the PE Building Expansion Project include remodeling the first floor to provide additional locker room space, a separate training room, weight room and equipment issue room. Second floor renovations include additional classroom and office space, a confer- ence room, dance studio and aerobics fitness center. INSIDE Candidate Bios page 2 Multiculturalism pageS Volunteering makes your life worth living page? Tropical Winter Mystery page 9 Cramped Space Brings Headaches -Mark Hahn Staff Writer Ever since becoming ath- letic director at UW- Parkside, Linda Draft has been struggling with cramped space and a lot of headaches. "This campus outgrew the PE Building the day it opened," commented Draft. "We've been asking for twenty years for an addi- tion, and its extremely frustrating for both the stu- dents and staff because there just isn't enough space for everybody who wants to be active. "The day in our building starts at 6 a.m. when the track teams starts practice, and doesn't conclude until 12-1 a.m. when the baseball and softball teams finish practicing," said Draft. Draft said members of Ranger sports teams at the university aren't the only ones hit hard by cramped space. "Its really hard when we also have lots of intramural teams and we have only two nights a week for them to play here," explained Draft. "At the same time, we get requests for other classes, and we don't have the space to put in additional evening classes.

I would like to be Vice President because at this current point in time the senate is at a stand still. I think that senators should be doing more for the stu- dents. It is my beliefthat the office of Vice President is where I could get the sen- ate moving in the direction of helping the most amount of students possible. The senate has an obligation to the students to represent them to the best of their abilities. I think as Vice President I could get the senate working as a whole to help every student at Parkside.

Students to represent Uw-p at budget hearing in Kenosha by Jim Hendrickson "I'm not going to pretend there. are any easy answers," said Tedi Wi nnett, at a recent workshop on planning budgets on limited incomes. "It doesn't matter how much you have; it's how you manage it." The State of Wisconsin has more to spend than the average family offour, but it still has some budget difficulties. For instance, many people at UWParkside are concerned about the possible closing of the Office of Teri Jacobson Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA). An open hearing on the proposed state budget will be held Wednesday, April 19, at the conference center of Gateway Technical College, located at 3520-30th Ave. in Kenosha. "There are many points of concern in the budget and making iegislators available to discuss concerns is just an act of good government," said State Representative Jim Kreuser (DKenosha). "I have recei ved phone calls and letters on issues ranging from medical assistance and gasoline fee increases to student financial aid and the elimination of the Department of Public Instruction," said Kreuser. "I understand that there are many concerns with this proposed budget, and 1 want people to be able to voice their concerns." Students speak with Cohen, applicant for UW-P Vice Chancellor by Pamela Bradshaw News Writer Howard Cohen, The University of Wisconsin Parksides Interim Vice Chancellor and candidate for the position, was interviewed by students on April 5th. He was the second finalist interviewed in a series that will conclude April 28. Cohen is also a finalist for the same position at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Regarding the selection process he commented, "This is like a vacation. 1 get to go out and talk to people today instead of being chained to my desk." Nathan Pieper, president of SOC and co-coordinator of GLO, asked Cohen why he wanted to remain at Parks ide. "Universities like UWP ...are places that were started ... to provide access to university education to a broader range of people. "These are the places where the action is in higher education. This is where the concept of what a university education means is still being worked out. I think anybody who's interested in making a difference in higher education ...would want to be in a place like this." Tommy Richie, president of PSGA, asked Cohen what changes State Senator Joe Andrea and Representati ve Bob Wirch plan to attend the hearing. "I have long been an advocate of local hearings in the evening. It helps keep government close to the people - where it belongs," said Andrea. At a recent meeting in Milwaukee, the Joint Finance Committee refused to hear the protests of hundreds of people. Those who did speak were allowed 30 seconds to express their opinions on the 3000-page state budget. The Kenosha hearing will be open to the public, and it will he would like to make if he became the Vice Chancellor. "We have obligations to prepare students for citizenship and obligations to prepare students for a career. "What I mean by that is the kind of things that you Howard Cohen need to learn in a university to be an active participant in tbe society that you live in and go out prepared to improve it and change it. You also come to the university hoping to be prepared to ...make a career choice where you can do things that will be personally satisfying to you. "I think for the last 50 years or so in higher education we've seen that as a kind of conflict. Should the curriculum be more geared towards citizenship or should it be more geared towards career preparation. "What I think is really starting to happen .. .is there is a convergence between the knowledge and skills that a ... graduate is going to need in UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-PARKSIDE Jim tlf/ndrickson shoots his way to second place at Mondily's pool tournament.

"We would like to get as many order to be well prepared for citizenship and well prepared for a career." Cohen listed skills he felt would prepare students for both career and citizenship: c o rn m u n ic a t io n/ skills, information Iiteracy ski lis, teamwork and a "carefully thoughtout reflective perspective about the world around you. "The challenge for the university is to design a curticulum that prepares students so when they graduate they will be accomplished in those things. Our job is to ... identify whal...a successful, accomplished graduate needs to be able to do. Then to look back in the curriculum and make sure we've designed the curriculum so that when a student goes through he'll be prepared in that way."

The Ranger News Is published by students of the University of wteoonsln-Parsslde who are SOlely responsible for the editorial policy and content contained herein. p Maria1s Melange by Maria Smith Ranger columnist Earlier this semester I was assigned a news story. The story was Sarah Rahri's death. I did the story and it appeared in our first edition of the year. After that, as a news writer, I was through with Sarah. As a 000- Christian, I would only begin to get to know her. During the interview process with Sarah's fiance, Andy Boedecker, I first became curious about Sarah's faith and the faith of all of whom she'd left behind. Andy seemed almost too joyous to me. JL really bothered me. After the interviewing was over, Iwrote "Sarah's Story" and walked away. Or so I thought For the next week following the story, Ihad a hard time getting to sleep. I kept thinking about Sarah's faith in God. I also thought about the possibility of the "heaven" they'd all been so sure Sarah had gone home to. I began to ask questions in my own mind. The torment as to my question about the existence of God began. When I did the phone interview with Andy he told me he was a finance major and was going to be in my class when the semester began. He forgot to tell me what he looked like so the first day of class I found myself looking for a "Christian." As the students filed in I saw a very quiet, almost submissive-looking guy wearing a tie enter the room. Iwas sure that was him. Iturned and introduced myself. He didn't know who the heck I was. 1 picked the wrong guy. Ilooked around the room for what Ithought a Christian might look like and couldn't see anyone who fit my preconceived stereotype. Finally, I heard somebody call his name. I looked up and saw a guy with a Chargers cap on (he was obviously misguided when it came to football) and a sweat shirt, jeans and sneakers. "Could this be the Christian?" Iwondered. "He doesn't look like a Christian." I began to realize that my stereotype of Christians was a misguided as Andy's choice for a football team (Dolphins-Superbowl 1997-Marino rules). Sorry, I've been wanting to do that all year. After class that day Iapproached Andy and introduced myself. Although he was very nice, Iwas still bothered by the fact that he was acting too happy for someone who had just lost a loved one, Sarah. I knew that his belief in God, Jesus and eternity with the Lord was the connection between Sarah's death and his ability to accept it. I then asked him if I could talk with him for a moment about God. We found a comfortable place to sit and Ibegan to ask questions about God. Everything I asked had a negative flavor to it. I was very angry with this God because I didn't know whether or not to believe in his existence. I just knew that Icouldn't stop asking questions. I couldn't stop searching for answers. As time passed, J began to meet One Liberalls Opinion Barb Churchill Ranger columnist Well, as last week, I've got a lot to talk about but very little space to do it in. I've heard from a trusted PSGA source that many people have checked out election packets, more people than last time. So, some of you out there aren't as apathetic as you appear! That surprises me, but also pleases me. Just remember, VOTE THIS TIME! If you wish a few endorsements, here they are: Teri Jacobson, Ami Orava, Jason Weniger, and Tyson Wilda should all be elected Senator. They are committed and qualified, and all of them have impressed me with their intelligence and work ethic. Ami Orava was elected in the disputed election, but already has been to a couple of UC meetings, and has been appointed OMSA liaison to DC. Tyson Wilda is concerned about Tommy's proposed budget, and has worked with Ten Jacobson to try to keep it from happening. Jason Weniger has been to numerous UC meetings, and is well-versed in all the PSGA ins and outs. These people can change PSGA for the better-give them a chance! Tommy's proposed budget still makes my skin crawl. Why is it that Parkside, the UW -Center Schools (2 year institutions, who already have small budgets), and other small schools get hit hardest? What is it about Tommy Thompson, anyway? And Why do the Regents always cut the little guys first? Why can't Madison or Milwaukee take the hit, for a change? (Because they would complain effectively, that's why.) When you think of Parkside, the phrase "first and worst" should come to mind. And that is very sad. The other UW school newspapers that I've read in recent weeks are also discontent, but only one school is doing anything at all about the problem. That school is Whitewater. They are organizing protests and sending cards, all with the intent of stopping the damage before it starts. The effort has so far gone unnoticed, but hopefully it will be like water on a stone: eventually, the Whitewater students will just erode the resistance away. Oshkosh, Stevens Point, and Superior seem concerned, but relieved that it doesn't appear to be worse. The problem with that attitude is that it can not change anything for the better. The assumption "it could be worse" is always unassailable. How about trying "it could be better" instead? Then, we could fight for what we need and want as UW ~ System students (as well as taxpayers.) But that would be too easy. However, for the non-apathetic, caring and concerned students out there, there is something that you CAN do. This thing is to attend the hearing at Gateway Technical College, Kenosha, at 6 PM on Wednesday, April 19th in the Conference Center. This is the only proposed budgetary hearing in Southeastern Wisconsin, and we need to go there and show our anger. If we do, perhaps something will change. Even if it doesn't, it will be beyond belief if politicians try later to say that they didn't know how upset we were! But we must try. If we don't, then maybe we deserve what we' n get: the shaft. Quote of the Week: "People always use the same old argument: 'I can't do it all, so I'm not going to do any.' And they don't." Lois McMaster Bujold, Mirror Dance ~ 3 'Thank you, Sarah! more Christians. They were all so willing to try and help me with my struggle with God. They were all so patient. Still, in spite of all of their efforts, Ineeded more proof. Finally, Ireached a point of utter frustration. I became so broken in spirit because no one could furnish the proof I so desperately needed. I decided to give up. But the next morning Iwoke with Sarah's faith on my mind. It wouldn't go away. A few days later Ifound myself deeply depressed over the whole question of God. Iwas driving in my car as a song came on the radio (actually it was a tape that I had just bought). It was entitled "Here Comes the Flood" by Peter Gabriel. The words blew me away. Tears started rolling from my eyes. Warmth filled my heart. I couldn't explain why, but Ifelt something beyond what the words were saying. I went home and laid on my bed and listened to the song again and again. About a half hour later I felt Him. The questions were gone. I knew God was real. Not because of a song or because of any proof, but because I felt Him. Ireally felt Him. Itwas the most moving experience of my life, realizing that He was real. I literally jumped for joy. I called everyone I knew to tell them what I'd found. What Isearched for was God. What 1 found was love. I found God and then felt the deepest, purest love of my life. I finally realized why Andy felt a certain joy. He kept telling me he knew Sarah was with her Savior. Finally, Ibelieved. Since Sarah's death Ihave had the pleasure of meeting many people who knew her. I love hearing about her life. I met her family and they were just as special as I'd imagined them to be. This past weekend I had an opportunity to view the memorial services of Sarah Rahn as they were recorded on video. It was a beautiful, moving service. There were approximately seven hundred people there to say goodbye to Sarah. Many who spoke of her recalled funny, happy memories of Sarah. I felt like I'd gotten an even closer glimpse of her because of their recollections. After the memorial service was over on the video, there Observations were recordings of different concerts that Sarah was a part of. You see, she was a beautiful singer. When I heard her voice Ijust melted. What a beautiful girl with a beautiful voice and and even far greater faith in the Lord. As Iwatched that video, the words ''Thank you, Sarah" carne into my mind. You see, it was Sarah's unrelenting faith in the face of her terminal illness and the faith of all whom she'd left behind that got me asking questions about God, which led me to the answers.J'll never forget what her mother said to me (this was before Ibecame a Christian) just weeks after Sarah passed away. She said, "Sarah was always concerned with the spiritual well-being of people. There have been many people who have come to know the Lord as a result of Sarah's life and as a result of her death." I finally know what she meant by that statement. To Sarah, I'd like to say thank you and not goodbye, but "see you later," as I'm sure that I will. Be Careful What You Wish For approach. USA Today has reported that lobbyists are in fact writing some Republican bills. This is no change from the former masters of the House. We can give thanks to our forefathers for providing a more deliberative body know as the Senate. Most of the damage done in the House will not survive in the Senate. Vet even in the Senate the Republicans are scary, there are too many Jesse Helms, Strom Thurrnonds and (God help us all) Phil Gramms and not enough Nancy Kassenbaums and William Cohens, The Republican party I was at ease with twenty years ago is not one I am comfortable in now. J may have leaned Republican, but the party of Gingrich is not the party ofFord (or I would argue Tommy Thompson). Professor Hayward told me recently that he thought Ihad to be too intelligent to be that conservative, I think he is right. I want no part of a Republican party that identifies itself with Phil Graham or Pat Buchanan. Compared to that, Clinton and the Democrats look better all the time. Next week let's talk about the Dems. The reports of their demise are greatly exaggerated. November, let's analyze it a bit.

Nelson Dear Editor, Ihope that by publishing this letter it catches the eye of those in charge of the large glass windows found throughout Parkside. Many different kinds of plants and animals can be found amidst the beautiful campus of Parkside. The shrubs and trees encompassing the University render it with an aesthetic quality that is cherished by many. Numerous large windows enable those inside to catch a glimpse of the natural beauty outside. Unfortunately the very picture the windows let us view, reflect out a mirror image of that scenery. To the many birds attracted to our campus it is a shame that so many are killed every year by these windows. The most notorious of them are those on the west side of Greenquist and those surrounding Main Place. Today [ found a dead Golden-Crowned Kinglet outside of Molinaro and finally wrote this long overdue letter. We owe to the birds this campus attracts, protection from these deathtraps. Some cheap paper hawks or owls taped to these windows would save many birds, cost little, and detract nothing from the view. Let's see if something can be done.

Extreme performed a sold-out, general admission concert on April I at the Vic Theater in Chicago. Opening for them was another group from Boston, Flesh; similar to Extreme in music type, performance, and even looks, because the lead singer and guitar are brothers of Extreme's lead and guitar- Gary and Nuno. Flesh did well, but the crowd was not enthusiastic; they are not that well known yet. Extreme's performance brought the crowd to life! I had seen Extreme in concert quite a few times before, and they did not disappoint me. by Mike Schaefer No, its not a typo. Nor is "observating" a word, although it sounds like it should be and if it were Ibelieve it would read in the dictionary as "observate, n: to see, to contemplate and to learn a truth; to observe, ponder and realize." Anyway, this week I've observated a whole lot (choke on that one), and one thing I've observated (if I write it enough, I'm hoping a professor will inadvertently use it in a lecture)(please let me know if that happens),well, I guess I always knew this, but there's a big difference between 'knowing' and 'K-nowing', is tbat people who have something to show you will do so no matter how obviously you care not to be led down that trail. To illustrate I had a wonderful story about my grandmother, a surgical scar and an otherwise uneventful meal. However, due to a particular editor's fear of public outcry against a particular aspect of my story ... Suffice to say the scar was below the beltline, the otherwise uneventful meal blah-blah-blah and you can guess the rest but you've missed the poignancy of the occasion and whatever I had to say about what I observated has been lost. Forever. So, failing to properly convey' the magnitude of that experience, something else I observated recently: people who aren't true to themselves. A friend of mine Katy Stephan, owns a store in downtown Racine called The Main Idea. She sells rubber stamps, oodles and oodles of cards for all occasions and the types of T-shirts tourists coming to Racine would buy. Its cool. You should bop on in. Anyhoo, as I was buying cards and chatting about how she could get some free ( !J5 The exciting new drummer, Michael Mangini, was certainly no disappointment either! Nuno's captivating guitar solo, "Midnight Express," was incredible. A medley of their older music gracefully blended with the new. The audience sang along. Wonderful! There were some technical difficulties, however. None were severe enough to delay the show for very long. Surprisingly, Extreme only played for an hour and a half (probably because Gary was quite ill). The audience hungered for more, but there was only one encore. In addition to the new drummer, their "new look" included other changes. Gary went from a head full of fluffy curls to a head full of almost nothing. The bass player advertising for her store (The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Recine) some guy pulled up in front of her store (The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Racine) and she (Katy Stephan, owner of The Main Idea, 337 Main St., Racine) said, "I bet he goes into Racine News" which, for those of you wbo don't know, is a porn shop. Now, an aside here. I know (I've observated) my subject material usually hovers around the almost-crude to the way-beyondcrude, things one doesn't speak of in polite company and doing things that look none too coolon a business resume. Well, life isn't a business resume. As much as life is about being a good parent, cleaning your room, eating your vegetables, crossing your 't'sand dotting your lower case 'j' s, life is also about not letting anyone know you just broke wind, getting lost during a night of binging in the French Quarter and parking in the handicapped space while you run in for cigarettes. As important in life as good hygiene is, sometimes you just gotta wipe your nose on your sleeve or scratch yourself. And, I've found, its when people are doing those things that "you just shouldn't do" that people are as 'real' and as interesting as they're ever going to get. So, when I write about my friend who was arrested for white slavery or the time I was making salad for a dinner party, chopped off a piece of my finger, couldn't find the piece and served the salad anyway or that this rough draft was written while I was buck naked and dripping from a recent shower or my grandmother's surgery scars or some guy walking into a porn shop, well...now you know. These are the things we really are and they're infinitely - 4 ~ jJ Jour Pat cut his hair a bit shorter, changed to a darker shade of blond, added a mini-beard and mustache. Nuno shortened his dark-brown hair and dyed it a shocking golden blond. The new look is drastically different, but they still look great! Overall, it was an extraordinary concert, one of the best I've seen. For the first time I got to see the band after the show! And to those of you who have heard that Nuno is unfriendly and inconsiderate to fans, that information is far from the truth. Nuno and the other three are the sweetest guys I've ever met. So, if you have a chance to catch the "Punchline '95" tour, don't hesitate to buy your tickets. The show is well worth every penny you have to pay and every mile you have to travel!

The so called "SO's" seem to be making a strong comeback. There's no way you can think of the 19S0's and not think of Duran Duran. When MTV first hit the air waves these guys were pegged at keeping it on the air. They not only revolutionized the music videos we rely on today, but they were always on top of the pop music scene with fresh new sounds. Well now it's 1995 and Duran Duran has made another strong comeback with their new album "Thank You." "Thank You" is an album in wbicb Duran Duran covers some of their favorite songs of the past. They tend to be artists and/or songs that have influenced them the most, hence the name "Thank You." From Led Zeppelin to Public Enemy, this album has a taste of everything. This was an album that took some time being put together_It was recorded around the world from 1992 to 1994. One pleasing thing that I can say about Duran Duran's cover album is it sounds exactly like the original? The real task is to make the song your own, and this is what Duran Duran does on each and every track. (Thankfully!) The opening track of this album, "White Lines," is sure to bring back some memories. Duran Duran has taken this song and made a dance track out of it, that all together, seems to rock, groove, and rap all at the same time! With a rip roaring guitar, upbeat rhythm, and guest appearance by Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five, the song is destined to hit the charts once again. Another stand out of the album is a cover of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay." Again, Duran Duran does an incredible job on this song. Simon Le Bon's voice does the song justice by incorporating a nice smooth feel to the song. A surprise to me was to hear a cover of the controversial hit by Public Enemy, "911 is a Joke." On this track Duran Duran keeps the rap groove in the song along with an acoustic bluesy feel. Don't get me wrong though, the "thump" of the bass is still in there! Probably one of my favorite songs on the album is a cover of the song "Success" originally done by Iggy Pop and David Bowie. Simply put, this song is both upbeat and refreshing, with Duran Duran's signature written all over it. Two songs that I have to say that are done exceptionally well are covers of the Door's "Crystal Ship," and Led Zepplin's "Thank You." In both songs Duran Duran incorporates the eerie feeling of the original artists in their own way. The end result are two great songs that respectfully pay tribute to the original artists. Duran Duran is one of the few "pop" bands from the SO's that are still going strong. Their survival is due primarily to the fact that they don't stray from their true sound. They may change it, or improve it here and there, but it still, and always will sound like Duran Duran. "Thank You" is another chapter in a long and prosperous future for Duran Duran. They truly deserve our "thanks" for a great effort on a thoroughly enjoyable album. ONE C;URU·S OPiNiON? by Barb Churchill the alternative guru herself In the past few columns, I've summarized several alternative albums, and by now you might be wondering, "What constitutes alternative music, anyway" After all, a lot of music is categorized as alternative when it really isn't, and that really confuses the issue. How can all of these bands really be alternative? Or is this just a plot to increase record sales? Let's look at the five best-known Seattle bands, and talk about whether these bands are really alternative, or just labeled that so that their record sales will increase. The five bands are Nirvana, Soundgarden. Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Pearl Jam. Alternative offers the listener a change from the normal partyrock that characterizes most of rock radio's airwaves (Van Halen, for one). It usually offers diffcrent sounds, unusual rhythmic content, superior musicianship, and topical lyrics. The musicians specializing in "alternative" usually have a better than average knowledge of music. That is because the "alternative sound" requires better quality of musicianship in order to pull it off. The songs sound more like classical cornpositi ons ; and less like cacophonous noise. Since alternative music, by definition, requires outstanding musicians to play it effectively, this means that some well-known bands are definitely NOT alternative. Pearl Jam is not alternative. Stone Temple Pilots also are not alternative. These bands use tried and true rock formulas, and the same three chords over and over again. (One of Pearl Jam's songs uses only one chord, and the same rhythm throughout. How boring.) Their best songs have a monotonous drone to them. (But it sells, so they keep on doing it.) These bands often get lumped into the "alternative" category, but they shouldn't be. The reasons that they do is because I) they are from Seattle, home of some of the best alternative bands and 2) some of their songs feature topical lyrics. Stone Temple Pilots first album varied between alternative-like ("Creep") to straight-ahead rock nonsense. (Take "Plush," please!) Their second album, although much better in quality, took more of its influence from the Rolling Stones rather than Nirvana or Alice in Chains. Both Pearl Jam and Stone Temple Pilots sound like they just stepped out of someone's garage, and seem to have little or no knowledge of how to play music. Their rock predecessors seem to be 80's Foreigner, the above-mentioned Stones, or possibly even Elton John (as in, good to listen to if it's on, but then forget it!). If you truly want a newer sound (like alternative), skip them. The other three bands from Seattle are definitely alternative bands. All three (Alice in Chains, Nirvana, and Sound garden) feature songs that have unusual chord changes, non-traditional rhythmic patterns, topical lyrics, and superior musicianship. Their songs are intricate, unlike other rock groups. For instance, "Nutshell"(Alice in Chains) features superior bass and guitar playing, and "The Man Who Sold the World" features excellent singing by Kurt Cobain and good guitar playing. "Real Thing" (Alice in Chains) is about cocaine abuse, and features lyrics like "I'm going down the steps of the white line ... straight to nowhere." Nirvana has songs like "Lithium," which has lyrics like "I'm so ugly, but that's OK ...so are you." "Fell on Black Days" highlights despair, because the guy just can't seem to have anything good happen to him. "Whatsoever I feared has ... come to life. And whatsoever Isought out...became my life." These lyrics highlight the despair thai Generation X-ers Final Notice feel about life in general. The reason alternative is a good label to put on nonalternative records (such as Weezer, which really is country, and Offspring, which is really punk) is because the lyrics tap into the generalized discontent that we Gen-Xers feel about life. We realize that we will be the first group of people that will do worse financially than our parents. We are expected to support the baby-boom generation's Social Security needs, despite the fact that they outnumber us 2 to 1. We are the generation that has grown up with the atomic bomb, the higher divorce rate, Vietnam, and AIDS. (Is it any wonder that we think that life generally stinks?) When groups come along like Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, and Nirvana, and they highlight very real problems in our lives, we have to be moved. If they do these things with the high level of musicianship that they have, so much the better! These groups don't play the same three chords, over and over and OVER again, until you are sick of them. Instead, they offer real change, with timely lyrics and a fresh approach. So, give them a try if you haven't already. And remember, just because it comes from Seattle doesn't mean that it's alternative.

Sponsored by ECKANKAR The University of WisconsinParkside softball team's record will stay at 25-6 through the weekend as both doubleheaders scheduled for Saturday and Sunday have been cancelled due to the weather. The Rangers had been scheduled to play twin bills Saturday at Northwood University in Midland, Michigan and Sunday at Ferris State but heavy rains caused the cancellation of both. None of the games were rescheduled. Others receiving votes (in alphabetical order): Cal. State Dominguez, Columbus (Georgia), Morningside (Iowa), New Haven (CT), Sacred Heart (Conn), UW-Parkside In Case You Missed It C. J. Nelson Hey, Terry the Bell's Rung: Maybe some one should have shouted that to boxer Terry Norris on Saturday. Norris struck a low blow to Junior Middleweight Luis Santana just before he decked him seven seconds after the bell rang ending the third round. This is the third fight Norris has lost due to disqualification. NFLing Around: Dave Wandstadt continues to change the Bears. Last week Tom Waddle took his sure hands to Cincinnati and Trace Armstrong was traded to Miami. Bronco line backer Pat Swilling is headed to the Raiders, Herschel Walker moved up 1-95 a few miles to the N.Y. Giants. Miami also took corner hack Terrell Buckley of the Packers hands for past considerations. Mastering the Links: Ben Crenshaw paid his respects to his mentor Havey Penick (who died last Sunday) by winning the 1995 Master's Green Coat. Crenshaw tied golf great Ben Hogan for the second lowest score in Master's history. Picking up the Split: The Cleveland Cavaliers managed a split against the Chicago Bulls over the weekend. His airness missed on a buzzer beater on Sunday allowing the Cav's a one point win. The preceding Friday Michael Jordan set a record for career points allowed by a Cleveland team. Jordan has scored over 1,500 points against the Cavs in his career. Jordan is to the Cavaliers what Michael Schmidt is to the Cubs. We Told You, Didn't we: This is what owners appear to be saying to baseball players. As predicted by the owners, small market teams began unloading highly talented players they could not afford. Gone from Montreal are Marquis Grissom, Larry Walker, John Wetteland and Ken Hill. K. C. waived bye to 94 Cy Young winner Dave Cone, catcher Mike McFarlane and outfielder Brian McRae. Dispatch from Camp Unemployment: Free agent players looking for a 95 home are working out in Homestead, FI. Players such as Mariano Duncan, Jody Reed, Howard Johnson, and Chris Saba are hoping for a call from a major league club. Pay Cut: Players who have signed have seen the salary go down. Dave Stewart, Mariano Duncan, Pat Borders, Bob Welch and B. 1. Surhoff are among players who have seen their pay decrease by almost 2 million dollars or more. Amazing Grace: Cubs first baseman Mark Grace agreed to slay on Chicago's north side for the 95 season. The south side Sox made a run for his services (Frank Thomas even agreed to be a full time DH if Grace went south) but Grace decided to remain a Cubby. The Cubs also acquired Center Fielder Brian McRae from K. C. fat 2 minor league pitchers. Hit the Road Jack: That's what the Chicago pale hose (White Sox) let ace pitcher Jack McDowell do. The Sox corrected this problem hy signing lefty Jim Abbott for 95. The Sox also signed outfielder Mike Deveraux. They still have not got a bona fide bat to protect Frank Thomas. As it stands now the only strike Frank is likely to see all year is the first pitch of the season. As I See It: Quick picks based on players moves so far: AL East: Any of four teams, NY, Baltimore, Boston or Toronto the only sure thing in this division is that Detroit will finish last. AL Central: Sorry Sox fans the Indians are for real. Cleveland, White Sox, Kansas City, Minnesota, Milwaukee. AL West: Seattle gets the nod over Texas, with the A's and Angels following. NL East: Atlanta is several steps above the rest. The rest includes Philadelphia, Florida, the Mets and the Expos. NL Central: I would like to say the Cubs but I can't. Cincinnati gets the slight nod over the Astros (who will wild card) then comes the Cards, Cubs, and Pirates. NL West: Surprise, the Rockies win the west over the Dodgers. The Padres and Giants will place.

Diane Welsh, assistant director of student life stated that the committee was "pretty diverse ...and could not come La a specific consensus aboutwhat should be done." "On one side of the issue someone representing athletics and the athletic board whose primary interest is in "cruitrnent.i.ano then on the other side there's the chairperson of the segregated fee allocation committee and myself as an advisor to the committee, whose primary focus is on the equity of the issue," Welsh said. Welsh described some of the feedback received at the public forums, "What we did hear from the StUdent athletes was that financial Package alone isn't usually the only factor in deciding where to go to SChool. It's also the reputation of the athletic team, the coach, the academic programs offered hear" .." There was also the suggestion that, "perhaps there would be a possibility of offering some waivers ...if it really is important for recruitment maybe we will pay for 25, or 30, or 40 waivers to recruit star athletes and divide it by gender." The good athletes could still have their tuition wavered, but would have to pay their own fees. "When you pay tuition you really pay a third of the cost of your instruction, the state is paying two- thirds ... so if you're an athlete we wouldn't get your third, but we still get the two-thirds. For segregated fees we don't get any, which means our costs are still the same," however, the other students pay the student athlete's portion of the fees, according to Welsh. If the segregated fees policy is changed the committee did agree that they wouldn't change the rules for students who had already been recruited under the current policy. "If we charge athletes student fees ...it could decrease your student fees by about twenty dollars a year, or, without an increase, it could add about $60,000 into that pool," Welsh said. Chancellorls House no more Now to be University House Rumors. "You heard, [but] you didn't come to me," said Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith. Rumors about closing the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) have been persistent, and they have inspired a rally, a meeting, and a whole lot of ribbons. OMSA may suffer reorganization as a result of the budget cuts, which have yet to be announced. A BnRC (Budget and Review Committee) proposal dated February 28, stated, "Office of Multicultural Student Affairs: It appears as jf a number of functions previously performed by this office have been to other areas i.e. advising and pre- college program. Staffing efficiencies may be realizable by combining functions." A. Anthony Flores, member of PSGA and HOP (Hispanic Organization at Parkside) saw a copy of a draft proposal to this effect.

It will be separate from the current dorms, but still serve as vital space for potential new students. This proposal was the foundation, the core, for the other two proposals. Without the Building Commission's approval of the dorm expansion, the outlook would be grim, but this fear has subsided {Q a point. "The Building Commission was a big hurdle," said Streeter, but even though the proposal will now go before the General Assembly and the Senate of Wisconsin, he said that "we're very confident at this point." The Building Commission consisted of Governor Thompson. a citizen member by the name of Bryce Styza, serving as the citizen's watchdog. appointed by Thompson. and six senators and representatives from Wisconsin, also appointed by Thompson; Sen. Brian Rude, chair of The Higher Education subcommittee. Rep. Sheryl Albers, from the subcommittee, Sen. Fred Risser. from the Administrative Affairs Committee, Sen. Carol Buettner, from the same committee, and Rep. Carl Due, from the same committee too. "Considering the tightness of the governor's budget, the University fared well in the Building Commission's deliberation," quoted Chancellor Eleanor J. Smith from a press release. "Additional student housing is critical to the growth of the University .... Area legislators, alumni, and community support were instrumental in influencing the commission." An architect for the new resident halls will be pursued immediately. Streeter wanted to assign an architect for this project last fall, but The Department of Administration (DOA) wanted to wait and find out what the Building Commission's decision was first. When the design phase is finished, the project will be reviewed and given final authorization. Even though the dorm expansion 'is targeted for completion by 'he FalJ of 1997, Senator Kohl donates gift for UW- Madison arena Senator Herb Kohl gave $25 million to the construction of UW-Madison's new basketball sports arena. The donation is the largest gift ever received by the UW System. Kohl's gift, according to UW officials, is vital to the building of the new arena, which will cost $72 million to complete. $27 million dollars was approved for the arena earlier in the week by the building commission. The remaining $20 million will need to be raised. The arena will be used mainly for basketball, but will also accommodate other sports events such as ice hockey. Kohl mentioned that he hoped the arena would assist the basketball program, especially in recruiting. Kohl, who attended Uw-Madtson in the 1950's is the owner of the Milwaukee Bucks basketball team, and is among the wealthiest of the US senators. Chancellor, continued from page 1 of UW-Parkside since May of 1994. She had been vice president for academic affairs at William Paterson College of New Jersey. Smith replaced Sheila Kaplan who left in 1993. John Stockwell served as the interim chancellor from 1993-1994. Asked why the inauguration took place a little less than a year after she became chancellor, Smith explained that she didn't want to have the ceremony in October of last year as planned. She wanted to know the campus better. cheapest, classiest one that l've ever seen." And this wasn't just a social event, said Smith. "Keeping our mission in mind; Bringing Racine and Kenosha communities to Parkside and Parkside to the Racine and Kenosha communities. " The official ceremony followed the Friday night performance of "Black Heritage: History I Music and Dance," a multi-media performance which Smith created as part of her work towards her doctorate. Smith became has been chancellor for our institution and location," said Smith With budget cuts threatening many areas at the university level, it was voiced by some that $17,000 was too much to pay for an inauguration. "I could hire a couple of people on what what they are spending on this," said one administrator. "I've seen people pay hundreds of thousands for inaugurations," said ~mith. "$\7,000 for that is nothing. Many bring in guest speakers and last Sunday through Monday. We kept it as simple as possible. This was the OMSA, continued from page 1 you. At Johnson Wax, for instance, there is no circle just for women, just for African Americans, just for Hispanics, just for Asian Americans. There is one circle: the Johnson Wax circle .... Eventually, we want to make [this university} one big circle that is a teaching and learning environment." Smith also told the group of the budget-cutting process. "To date, the Administrative Council has not decided," she said. "We just got a figure to deal with." "When we cut the budget, we may not keep it [OMSA} as it is," said Smith. The Administrative Council is composed of Smith, Marilyn Foster Kirk, William Streeter, Gary Grace and Howard Cohen. The council must complete the budget process by April 15. When it does, Smith reassured those assembled that they would not hear about il through channels or rumor. "I will inform you ... about our recommendations." Objections will not be accepted then, but a chance to do so will be allowed at open meetings to discuss the budget. and "it's not in our hands [yet}," as he said, he still feels that positive answers are in store for the future of Parkside. The Phy Ed. expansion's proposal got half of what it wanted - providing nearly half of the original $9.1 million proposal, The project will require $3.8 million in general state- funded borrowing and $670,000 from non-Slate sources. The $4.465 million project does not include a new field house, wrestling combau ves , and more storage space, but it does offer renovations and some new constructions. Among these renovations will be completely remodeled locker rooms that will be bigger and better - accommodated for the new field house when it is eventually built. A co-ed training room will be outside of the men's and women's locker rooms and a whirlpool. A full-size weight room, a dance studio/aerobic fitness room, and three new classrooms will be built as part of some of the new constructions, as well as a new mechanical room for monitoring heating and air conditioning units. This first phase of an overall project will be built to accommodate a hopeful Phase II construction of a field house in the future. Because "phase one doesn't sol ve all the instructional needs or the high demand for open space that a field house can provide," a press release quoted Linda Draft, Director of Athletics, saying, she does "plan to pursue funding for the field house vigorously in the next biennium." According to Streeter, everythirig anticipated for the three phases of food service on this campus ~ the remodeling of the Union Dinning Room servery, the Union Square bar area, and the food court in Lower Main Place - will occur. Plans are in motion. When asked if the construction for each project would be done all together or in stages, Streeter said that "we hope to have it done in cinch . We're going to shoot for the Fall of 1997," said Streeter, admitting that it is an ambitious deadline. "We're going to work hard." With an additional 400 students on campus, there will be a need for more lockers and space in the Phy Ed. building and a need for bigger and better accommodations of food service. "It's very exciting for the University," said Streeter, then informed me that in Parkside's 26 years, there has not been construction of this, or any magnitude, in twenty years - after the Union building was completed. Volunteer of the Week Students are selected as Volunteers of the Week because of their altruistic attitudes, the amount of time shared within the community and the positive impact their service has made in the lives of others. This week's volunteer is Julie Tishken. Julie Tishken is a senior majoring in Sociology with plans of being an elementary school teacher. She enrolled in the Parkside Volunteer Program in November 1994, when she began volunteering at Raymond School in the first grade classroom and at Racine Community Care Center helping in the activities department.

Deane's experience also includes work with an armed robbery unit, serving on the staff of the Deputy Chief of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, and operating as Executive Lieutenant of the Homicide section and Lieutenant of the Narcotics Intelligence Unit. He is also a current member fthe United States rmy Reserve, and served seven months in Saudi Arabia during Operation Desert Storm. Deane has a Bachelor's degree from Wayne State University in Criminal Justice, a Master's degree from the University of Detroit in Security Administration, and is currently a Doctoral Candidate in dministration and Higher Education at Wayne State University. When Deane took over as UW-Parkside's Chief of Police, he began "making the transition from big city, On Monday, August 15, Robert L. Deane took over as Chief of the University of Wisconsin-Parkside Campus Police. Deane officially replaced David Ostrowski, who resigned last October. Thomas Knitter served as interim chief from October 4, 1993 to August 14, 1994. Former Chief Knitter Deane is from Detroit, Michigan, where he had served on the Detroit Police Department. Deane's most municipal policing." Deane acknowledges that the approach of law enforcement used in a big city. such as Detroit, will not work in a small university setting. He stated, "Big city tactics will not work here; they will not be used here." Another of Chief Deane's present concerns is the budget cut that is forecast for the near future. Deane's strategy is to "streamline" the police department and provide the best service with less resources. Deane commented, "We've already begun tightening our belts." The policy of police handguns at UW-Parkside is that officers do not carry arms on their person, but rather have them locked in a strongbox in their cars. Deane wishes to make no change to this policy. "In no sense is this a reflection of the ability or qualification of our officers," he stated. Rather it is, "based on the needs and policy of this university." Deane also mentioned that the officers here at UW-Parkside are fully-certified police officers with full arrest powers, not just "rent-a-cops" or security Robert L. Deane guards. Deane wants UW-Parkside police to be more than just law-enforcement. He oommented, "The university police are here to assist students in any and all ways." Some of the services that will still be offered under Deane's leadership are police escorts, and assisting students locked out of their cars or out of gas. Deane hopes to provide "approachable, friendly aid in times of need." He stated, "My door is always open."

On Friday, September 2, at approximately 3:30 prn, two Concerns Arise Over 2% Technology Tuition Increase. parked vehicles in the Comm Arts Parking Lot were struck, causing considerable damage to the parked vehicles. The offending vehicle left the scene travelling North on Outer Loop Road. The by Karen Diehl News Editor Parkside's Student Government Association (pSGA) is concerned with this hike in tuition. In June, the United Council unanimously passed a resolution which voiced many of their concerns about the proposed increase. Some of these concerns were: the lack of discrimination between different campuses . technology needs, the lack of student control of budget allocation, and the isolation of student leaders from the On August 18, the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents passed a bUdget request which contained provisions for a 2% annual increase in tuition. This increase woul d be used as a Special Technology Fee to help bridge the "technology gap" that has arisen in the UW System. The United Council ofUW Student Governments, which includes offending vehicle is described as a full-size, brown, possibly two-tone, Ford pick-up truck. Damage to the offending vehicle wi1llikely be to the driver's side front bumper and the passenger side rear decision-making process. It was noted in the resolution that "All UW Institutions are not at the same place on the Technological ladder. Students should have the freedom to decide what technology is needed at their particular institution." The current proposal does not account for this. Parkside's Student Government passed its own resolution on May 6. Concerns raised were similar to those of the United quarter of the truck. Anyone having information about this accident or any other crime on campus is asked to contact the University Police and Public Safety Department at 595- Council. PSGA was also worried about tbe lack of a "sunset" clause- there was no cut-off date when this 2% annual increase would end. David Stacy, president of the United Council had similar cares. He stated, "The ongoing tuition surcharge means that technology funding for the UW System will be the sole responsibility of the students, now and forever." Jennifer Buchholz, President of PSG A, stated, 2455. "Your help is needed in order to maintain a safe campus," said UW-Parkside Police officials. "The general feeling is that we do support a technology fund. We just don't support the manner in which it has been done." Despite the concern of the Student Governments, the budget proposal, with the technology fee included, wss passed by the Board of Regents. From here, the proposal goes on to State Legislature where it will be finalized.

For distinguished service, David Holle, Comptroller, and Virginia Peters, Program Assistant, were both recognized. Smith also introduced all of Parkside's new faculty and stafT. The Chancellor shared her goals for UW-Parkside in her convocation address. These goals include creating a complete learning community I fostering diversity, and providing quality service to southeastern Wisconsin. Smith wants to build on Parkside's "solid foundation" of the past 25 years. In this way, Parkside will be ready to enter the 21st century. Chancellor Eleanor Smith gave her first convocation address to the University of Wisconsin-Parkside on August 31. At the breakfast meeting, Smith honored distinguished staff and faculty on behalf of the University of Wisconsin- Parkside. Among those honored were Teaching Excellence Award winners Maria Leavitt, Lecturer of Spanish, and Pirooz Mohazzabi, Professor of Physics.

American Politics Focus of UW-Parkside Evening Classes Tuition, continued discussed during "The Election of 1994" will include the politics of property tax relief, the Wisconsin Congressional elections, and state and national campaign funding. Samuel Pernacciaro, associate professor of political science at UW-Parkside, will be the instructor for both classes. Pernaoci.aro has written several articles on the American presidency and is a former research associate at the Robert M. LaFollette Institute of Puhlic Affairs at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. For more information, contact the Political Science Department at (414) 595- 2316. Individuals can register for the class during open registration at UW·Parkside August 29-30 between 10 am and 6 pm. Campaign funding, media and presidential campaigns, changing atti tudes about American politics, and state property tax relief politics will be issues discussed during two political science classes offered by the University of Wisconsin-Parkside this fall. "American Politics" win be offered from 6 to 8:45 pm on Tuesdays beginning September 6 at Case High School, Racine. "The Election of 1994" will be ofTered from 11 am to 12:15 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning September 6 at UW·Parkside. Cost of the classes, if taken for college credit, are $305 for Wisconsin residents and $903.50 for non-residents. "American Politics" will cover various areas including electoral college reform, the 1992 presidential election and state budget politics. Topics own student records, upgrading existing computer labs, creating new labs and provide staffing for them, and purchasing a minicomputer for student internet access and electronic mail. Parkside has already offered a plan as to where this money could be used. Such plans include a network of computer "kiosks" which students could use to access campus information and their is approved, the money will be distributed throughout the UW System, probably by student population. This means that larger schools would gain more of the fund than smaller ones. UW- OMSA Open House and lemonade. Adames- Petty, Coordinator of Retention Services, said the open house was a success because of its informality. "It was great to see the Chancellor there and to hear the wide varieties of conversation going on," Adames-Petty said. The informal gathering was a chance for students to talk to their administrators and to their fellow students. and other students. OMSA also emphasizes a multicultural environment which creates an awareness and appreciation of cultural differences. Attending the open house were new faces: Eleanor Smith, Robert Deane, and Nydia Adames-Petty.
