He was a professional through and through .....,and the four or five technicians who observed his directions listenedwith absorbed obedience.When he had completed his stage directions, he motioned Tomand myself, suspiciously stated with camera and reporters notebookin hand and observing his movements with curious delight, to followhim to the green room for the interview.He appeared relaxed, amiable and inviting as he rested on thecouch. We were nervous, uncomfortable and slightly insecure as wesat on the edge of two opposite chairs, clumsily fumbling our pensfrom our pockets and snapping photographs in as candid a fashion aspossible.There was a moment of silence before the questioningcommenced.

Werealized, however, that the time would come when we would have todirect questions to him but we waited in re~pective patience."When did you begin your tour of Thurber?", I said to provoke ajournalistic atmosphere. Windom began talking of his affiliation withthe&9-70series MyWorld AndWelcomeToIt, a show based onThurber's writings. He described how it took him two years to buildup the courage to attempt a one man show of Thurber. Windom read,compiled, and organized ninety percent of Thurber's writings and issoley responsible for the production of the show.By early1972the show was together. He performed it to anexperimental audience of family and actor friends, which hedescribed as his most vicious and muderous critics. Now it was readyfor the road test. 'Windom contacted an actor aquaintance, HalHolbrook, who had toured the country withMarkTwain for close tothree decades, and asked 'What the hell do I do now?" Holbrooksuggestedtwothings:1)don't wear makeup (Holbrook spends overtwo hours applying makeup for his show) and 2) get yourself a goodagent.Windom followed his advice, hired Holbrook's agent and he wason his way.Six years and approximately 165 shows later Windom is still touringThurber around the country with great success. He related a specificexcitement in stage performance. An actor who has acted in allentertainment mediums he illustrated an analogy which reinforcedhis preference for the stage. "Stage", he said, "is like dancing with agirl. Movies are like dancing with a dining room chair and TV is likedancing with a kitchen stool." Like many actors, Windom enjoys theone on one relationship an actor encounters with the audience intheatre.I'The ideal situation for me," Windom continued, "is a 10,000student college in a small town. Unlike UCLAwhere a hundred thingsare happe ing at once, a small college is more likely to go to myshow." If tickets weren't selling, Windom is more than willing to talkof Thurber at english or iournalisism classes to drum up business.Windom characterizes himself as a journeyman actor, in otherwords a part time performer. He entered into show businesswhile-inthe army during WWII. He had joined the- European touringproduction of Richard 111,playing the lead in an all G.1. cast. Headmitted that one of his major motivations for joining the productionwas to meet girls. After the army he continued to play Richard 111onBroadway for a year. From there he went to insurance for two years,articulatinga different form of acting.Windom got involved in television when it was still in its youngercommercial years. He holds an enormous variety of televisionperformances to his credit including episodes in Gunsmoke, BenCasey, and Star Trek.

Studey apprenticed for four years and interned for two under the close supervision of an experi- enced midwife. She has her certi- fication with the Midwife Guild. Although midwifery has been practiced in Wisconsin for fifteen years, there is no state certification and is even considered a felony in certain states, incJuding Illinois. However, in many states including Wisconsin and California, mid- wifery is legal, complete with hos- pital privileges as necessary. The word midwife means "with woman," and Studey and other midwives across the country are dedicated to taking the fear and mystery out of a perfectly natural phenomenon. Shehelpsgivefami- lies control over the birthing expe- ricnce and enlightens people con- cerning unnecessary hospital pro- cedures that could prove traumatic to both mother and infant. Complimenting Studey's dis- Tal'll Hay News Writer cussion was Vicky Talbcn's pre- sentation on practical nursing.

According to Talbert, pedi- atric nurse practitioners work with families and educate young moth- ers about health and nutrition, as well as making necessary arrange- ments and referrals with state agencies and physicians. Practical nursing came about as a result of the shortage of doc- tors in economically deprived ar- eas, and many practical nurses work with the poor, promoting well ness, counseling on family behavioral problems, nutrition, safety, and in some cases. just helping families meet the most basic needs, such as shelter. Those who would like to ex- plore these unique options in health care are encouraged tocon- tact the Women's Center at 595- 2170 for more information.

When you graduate, where in the country do you want to work? If you start a business,wherewill itbe located? Your answers to these questions are vitally important to the state's future, Getting you to answer "Wisconsin" to both questions was one reason for Tuesday's "Listening Session" at the Sports and Activity Center. Opinions expressed by business people and development officials at this and other meetings around the state will help set the agenda for next month's Economic Summit in Milwaukee. The UW System is a major sponsor of the summit. College graduates leaving Wisconsinthe state's "brain drain"-is a problem. The state's population trends show the severity of this problem. "In 1997,Wisconsin's ranking for 'in migration: the number of people coming to live here, was 50th m the United States:' Keating said. "And our 'out migration: people leaving the state, was in the top quarter" (seventh of fifty). Venture capital, money raised to finance business start-ups and growth, is another area of concern, as is education. Debbie [ossart of Racine said education providers need to be move faster to meet the changing needs of students and business. "Schools need to be more flexible to reactto the skillsbusinessneeds:' [ossart said. "We need more internships and' practical experience so students make a connection with area businesses and want to stay here." Along with the brain drain and a lack capital, a lack of entrepreneurial spirit is hurting Wisconsin. In the eyes of one observer, finding and funding these future business people should be a priority. "We need to identify young entrepreneurs and encourage them early on," said Mark Mundi of Racine's Workforce Development Center. "And we need to create venture capital pools and business incubators to help them get their ideas off the ground." Some of the opinions expressed at Tuesday's listening session are likely to serve as topics for the Summit, Nov. 29 to Dec. 1 at Milwaukee's Midwest Express Center.' That three-day frogram will examine key portions 0 the state's economy with an emphasis on the creation of quality jobs, generation of investment capital, workforce education, and the enhancement of Wisconsin's image as a technology and job growth leader. The state's success in reaching these goals is likely to have a direct impact on the future of many UW-Parkside students. A Different Voice How much does it cost to voteP By Carol Tebben, Associate Professor of Political Science On a golden Virginia morning in the autumn of 1952,a diminutive woman with graying hair (we will call her Claire Umbrey) awoke earlier than usual. It was Election Day, and she planned to walk the extra three miles necessary on her way to work to cast her vote for president of the United States. It was all because of her son Harvey. Although her salary as a domestic was minimal, wages were crucial to Claire in those days. She had been supporting .her family since her husband was seriously injured at work. When Claire arrived at the rural schoolhouse set up with makeshift voting booths, it had not yet opened for voting. She was able to catch her , breath before the door was finally opened to her and the others who were waiting. "That'll be a dollar to vote," insisted the man from neighboring Jefferson County who was assigned to run the polls that day. Poll taxes were used by states at that time, particularly in the South, as a blatant attempt to limit the African-American vote. Claire did not have a dollar to spare topaythetax, but patientlyexplainedthat her son, Harvey, had fought in war a few years back, and that he had been shot in the back by enemy fire while rescuinga fellowsoldierwounded in the leg. Harvey had spent almost three weeks under intensive medical care . and in extreme pain before he died. She didn't know what happened to the soldier he had tried to save. "Harvey loved the general, and 1 want to vote for him." Unmoved, the bureaucrat responded, "No dollar, no vote." Effectively stripped of her constitutional right to vote as a citizen of the United States, Claire understood the importance of that dollar tax, and of the state policy behind it. It would be 12more years before poll taxes in federal elections were forbidden by the 24th Amendment and 14 years before poll taxes in state elections were declared a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, As the Court explained in the Harper case (1966),"The right of suffrage is a fundamental matter in a free and democratic society....The right to exercise the franchise in a free and unimpaired manner is preservative of other basic civil and political rights ... " No longer can our right to vote be predicated upon the payment of a tax. Claire recognized something even more significant that day than the negative effects of the poll tax. The cost of her vote was more than the dollar she was charged to prevent her from voting, and again, it was all because of Harvey. She understood then what many of us are still learning today. The cost of our vote has been paid by the blood of people like her son, Harvey .Umbrey, smce the time this country declared its independence. Is it that difficult for us to take a few moments from a life of convenience to vote a good person into office,when someone else has already paid the price? - October 26/ 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 2 THE RANGER Ins • 1 d e 3 Accredilation UP lor renewal Will Parkside pass the test and receive the funding needed? 4 Student Voices The future of our country is determined by the vote 5 UWPprol. secures $400;000 Grant Sylvia Beyer's grant from the National Science Foundation will allow herr to study the computer science field. 6 Entenainment Upcoming events for everyone to. enjoy. 1 spons An exciting season for UW-Parkside soccer teams.

October 26, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 3 UW-Parkside sponsors Controlling Community Violence program By Lisa Whitcomb This past July, UW-Parkside's Criminal Justice Department assumed the role of sponsor for the Controlling Community Violence Program (CCV). The program was initially created ten years ago at the request of a Racine County judge, and is under the direction of Doris LaBrasca. Racine and Kenosha county offenders, who have been convicted of domestic violations, battery, disorderly conduct, and criminal damage, are referred to the CCV program as an important alternative to imprisonment. The program is held every third Saturday of the month at a location that is off campus. The success of this program is reflected in the positive feedback from those OMSA InlrOS UW-Parkside Menlorship PrOgram By Sarah Olsen The Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA) is introducing the Always Reaching Upwards Mentorship Program (ARU). The program is designed to provide incoming students of color intellectual and emotional support from an upper classmen. The focuses of ARU are to provide an on-going introduction and orientation to the University and commuruty.: to help students develop a sense of belonging and ownership, and to increase students self-esteem and selfconfidence. A mentor is "a teacher, a role model, someone that listens, someLegends ol'the lost & lound Lose something? Sooner or later-for most of us, it's sooner-c-everyone loses something. If you misplace an item while on campus, the first place to look is the lost and found. . Didn't know the University had one? Well, you've found something important already. Found items are turned in to the Information Center in the UW-Parkside Union Bazaar. Valuable things like wallets, purses, arid the like are immediately sent to the University Police in Tallent Hall. So remember: if you lose something stop by the Information Center lost and found to identify andz'or claim your lost possessions. A mentor is "a teacher, a role model, someone that listens, someone to give advice, an advisor, a guide, and a friend," says Bridgelle Johnson. who have attended the all-day workshops, and by a drop in the crime recidivism rates. The intention of the program is to teach offenders how to handle, and deal with conflict before it escalates to abuse. According to Doris LaBrasca, the program director, abuse can be "mental, emotional, and physical. Usually all of these levels of violence are interconnected," she said. The offenders learn how to identify their anger, fear, or controlling behaviors, and then they learn how to release these things through selfempowerment and inner clarity, which gives the offenders a new perspective on life and relationships. one to give advice, an advisor, a guide, and a friend" says Bridgette Johnson, the director for ARU and OMSA. ARU is a revision of the mentorship program that existed on campus before. Previously, the program teamed students up with faculty members. . "1 wanted a peer mentoring program" says Johnson. Due to high demand for mentors, however, some students this semester will be paired with. a faculty or staff member. ARU is actively searching for upper classmen to join as mentors. Mentors and mentees are expected to meet at least twice a month and to keep in close contact with each other. Suggested activities for mentors and mentees are to attend a program that relates to a common area of interest, to attend sporting or theatrical events, to discuss a book or rent videos, to write a resume, or to surf the net together. These meetings are to be both entertaining and educational. The ARU program will also be taking trips as a group. Tentative ideas for After attending the program, men and women are more aware of their behaviors, become more responsible, and make better choices in their lives. There is a shift in the way people handle conflicts in their lives after attending the program. Often LaBrasca sees "drastic Changes in attitude and energy." LaBrasca points out, "Controlling community violence comes down to the individual. 1 help -the individual become more aware, get healing, and learn techniques about communication. These people are just human beings that are ship wrecked. They have gol to get in touch with boundaries, get in touch with how to handle themselves, and learn how to communicate. It's all about healing and maktrips include the museums in Kenosha, Milwaukee, and Chicago, the Holiday Folk Fair in Milwaukee, the Martin Luther King celebration on campus, and an end-of-the-year picnic. . The ARU program is also seeking to give juniors and seniors an opportunity to have an alumni member mentor them as they prepare to leave college and search for a job. Beginning January . 2001, students of color and alumni of color will be able to participate in the program. In addition, students on campus will go to local high schools and participate as Big Brothers and Big Sisters to high school students preparing for college. Although the primary focus of ARU is for students of color, it is not limited to them. . "All ofour services are <;pen to allstudents. We won't discriminate says Johnson. Mentors and mentees of non-minority status are encouraged to apply. Persons interested in becoming either a mentor or a mentee should go to the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, Wyllie 0182, or contact Bridgette Johnson at 595-2731, . ing better choices." - The CCV program is an outstanding way for UW-Parkside to give back to the community. It provides intervention where and when it's needed in the community, and it is a very po,rular program with judges, attorney s, and the public. I!also offers internship possibilities for Criminal Justice majors, which is one of the fastest growing departments at the University.

Parkside's Accreditation UP rorrenewal By Gina Garda On Wednesday Oct. 11, John Taylor, an associate director on the Evaluation Services Staff for the North Central Association (NCA), visited OW-Parkside. He met with faculty and staff in Greenquist 103 to explain the accreditation process. The NCA is a non-governmental accreditation organization located in Chicago' serving 19 states. They are one of .six agencies in the nation and have 997 institutions on their commission. Taylor is the staff liaison for the campus and will assist and guide the University throughout the process. To be an accredited institution, OWParkside must prove, through the accreditation process, that the university meets general institution requirements and specific criteria set by the NCA. By June 2002, UW-Parkside must put together a Self-Study 'Report. This report will show that the university meets 24 general .requirements that involve governancet authorization, UW-Parkside's mission, faculty, educational 'programs, finances, public information,andadvertising. Inadd~ tion, the university must show that it meets five criteria for accreditation. These criteria include a clear mission, adequate resources, programs and services planning, and integrity. UW-Parkside's completed report will then be given to a team of Consultant Evaluators, peers. who are faculty members and instructors at other accredited institutions. This team will read the report and visit Parkside in early Oct. 2002. They will spend three days on campus asking questions and verifying statements the university has made. After the visit, the team will write their own report. Before both reports are submitted, UW-Parkside will have the opportunity to refute any statements made by the team in a formal written response. Next, two committees, the Accreditation Review Council (ARC) and the Institutional Actions Council (lAC), will review the reports and accrediting decisions will be made. Finally, 17 members on the NCA's Board ofTrustees will validate the decision. The process will be complete in the Spring of 2003. Questions about the accreditation process can answered either on the NCA's website, www.ncacihe.org or by Larry Deutsch, the coordinator of SelfStudy for UW-Parkside's accreditation, at ext. 2483.

Joshua Steinhauer" Undergraduate Research Funded at UW-' By Lisa Whitcomb This fall marks the third semester that the UW-Parkside College of Arts and Sciences has awarded funds for the Undergraduate Research Apprenticeship Program. According to Dean Donald Cress, "Many faculty and academic staff have been conducting their research in collaboration with undergraduate students for several years. However, this has taken place without tangible institutional support and without formal recognition of the students involved in these research projects." Now, the University has made fund- / ing for research available. A $450 stipend can be applied to any research project which has passed a review board's approval. $100of support goes to the sponsoring faculty member, so they can assist the student with research materials like books, comput-. er software, or travel costs incurred by the student to present a paper on the research. The remaining $350 stipend is awarded the student involved with the collaborative.research project. Proposed projects have to be consistent with the faculty member and student's academic area of study, and must be mutually agreed upon by the faculty member sponsoring the project and the student who has been asked by the faculty member to take on the project. . "The idea is that students are not just photocopying, or doing scud work. But that this is a serious partnership [between the faculty member and the student] and a real research project," Cress said. A brief form must be completed for each project the semester prior to the one in which the research will actually be conducted. The Board looks for a technical description of the project, how it will relate to the faculty member's previous creative/ scholarly activity, the nature of the student's involvement, how it will advance the student's learning, the creative/. scholarly field, and the faculty member's own research program. At the end of each project, the student must disseminate the results of and Sciences. Cress said he would like to see more people from the social sci ences and humanities involved with this. Areas like biology have been c,?n ducting collaborative research with students for years, but humanities and social sciences primarily conduct research in a solitary manor. Cress reiterated, "It's a project that has considerable value because it provides an opportunity for students to see from the inside what research is like, and what it is that faculty do when they conduct research. Also, [students can learn] why faculty members fall in love with their area of study." Students and faculty members alike are encouraged to take advantage of the opportuni!)' to research their ideas with the fundmg and support of the . University. Cress advises that opportunities, such as conducting research and writing a scholarly dissemination, look good on a student's resume, and it's a wonderful chance for students to present their work at the state level. the project with a final paper or article. Cress adds, "Part of dissemination is for the students to get their work out and have others conunent on it, or correct it.". Dr. Carmel Ruffolo of Biology has applied for project funds four times already and said she appreciates the awards. She thanked Cress for his continued assistance with student research projects. "1 reallr support the Dean's initiative and wil continue to apply for the awards as long as they are available," said Dr. Ruffolo. She emphasizes many students are, "Qualified and deserve to have an opportunity to carry out research in an active research environment. They are good students academically and they are keen to get involved in research projects. It is great that we are getting these students into the lab to have hands-on experience. Research looks good on a resume." The research awards are available to every department in the College of Arts ·' October 26, 2000 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Page 5 UW' prof. secures $400,000 research grant By Julie Thompson There's much excitement in the Psychology Department this semester over Professor Sylvia Beyer's recent acquisition of a $428,000grant from the National ScienceFoundation to study why students choose to go into the computer science field, Professor Susan Haller, from the Computer Science department, will serve as co-investigator for the project and is involved in most of the research, When asked why she chose this particular area of science, Professor Beyer said, "The government is very much concerned about the shortage of computer scientists, There aren't enough programmers and they keep changing Jobs every six months because they're getting better offers from competing firms. So, it's a ma/'or issue and they're now flying in peop e from other parts of the world to fill the f,0sitions." Also, women aren t majoring in computer science and Professor Beyer would like to find out why. UW-Parkside's male to female ratio for Computer Science majors is currently stands at 41 Volunteer to 25, respectively, ' Opportunities The study, which will take place over a three-year period, will involve UWParkside students exclusively, and on multiple levels. The research will involve two studies taking place concurrently. The first study will be aimed at all incoming freshman for one year. They will be asked to answer a lengthy series of questions and will be followed up every semester for three years. The second study will involve students who are taking a computer science course at UWParkside. "I don't want to just focus on computer science majors, but even people who are showing just a little bit of interest, and are taking Computer Productivity Tools and the web courses, and then see if that's going to tum them on to computer science or not," said Beyer. "Over the course of the study, we will look at several thousand students and they will be followed up every semester." In addition to contributing as study subjects, students will have the chance to participate in other areas of research as well as the possibility to earn money for their particiJ'a tion. Pro fessor Beyer stated, A lot of people will be hired to work on this project." She will be hiring six research assistants each semester, a project coordinator, and a part-time transcriptionist. Becausethe National ScienceFoundation approved the grant quicker than expected, Professor Beyer will be teaching full-time this semester as' well as working on the project. Afterwards, she will have teaching release time. Meaning she will be responsible to teach three courses per year for three years. . During the course of the study, Professor Beyer will submit yearly progress reports to the NSF and upon completion of the study, she will write journal articles for publication as well as a final report submitted to the Foundation.

If the UW-Parkside men's soccer season went much longer, it would be easy to run out of catchy names and splendid superlatives to describe the play of Thorn Peer, goaltender. Peer posted shutouts number 12 and 13 over the weekend as the Rangers ran through Kentucky Wesleyan and Bellarmine colleges on the way to the Great Lake Valley Conference (GLVC) playoffs. On Friday, Oct. 20, Peer's goaltending took a back to the scoring of Jeff Hines. Hines slammed home the Rangers' final three goals as UW-Parkside opened up a six pack of Whoop You-Know-What in Owensboro and beat Kentucky Wesleyan 6-0. Peer's work was a more important on Sunday, Oct. 22. The Rangers mustered just a single goal, this one by Adam Chwala, and Peer made it stand up backing stopping a 1-0 win over Bel~ larmme College. The Rangers finished GLVC play at 7-4 and are 13-4 overallall 13 wins coming on shutouts by Mr. Zero, ell Dr. No, aka, Thorn Peer. The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Thorn Peer's 13 shutouts put UW-Pin' good standing heading into GLVC tournament play.

UWP men's basketball: Readv for thrilling season By Dena Coady "Tourney Time'tis the theme for the 2000-2001 UW-Parkside Rangers men's basketball team. Tourney Time as the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Tournament in Evansville, IN. This year's team is hoping to make that happen. The process to become a great team is to start where the team left off last year. For the Rangers that goal was to recruit. According to Coach Rutter there was a strong recruiting class for this year's team. "Our goal was to find quality student athletes who would blend in with the returning players," said Rutter. He feels that has been accomplished. This year's team has five new players: Dean Pogodzinski and Matt Griffin are freshman and will play guard. The other three new comers on the team are transfers: Duane Dacres is a junior guard; Kurt Flowers is a junior who will play center; and Clay Lewkowski, another junior who will play forward. . "Each of these new players bring different qualities, versatility, and athleticism to the team" Rutter said. He added. the team has a couple of conference guards, a deep bench, and quality post players returning. The team also brings in two new assistant coaches. Luke Reigel who attended Wilmot High School. Reigel won the state championship at Wilmot. His dad was also the coach of the men's basketball team at Wilmot years back. Reigel went on to UW-Plattville where he won two national championships .. Jim Lindsey is a Kenosha native who attended University of Indianapolis. He played for the basketball team and also coached there. They replace Dave Williams who was an assistant coach at UW-Parkside for two years. Williams accepted a position as "an assistant athletic director at Parkside. The Rangers had their first practice Sunday, Oct. 15. Three points that Coach Rutter and his staff wanted the players to acknowledge were • The abilityto compete and play hard: • Regain confidenceand level play; and • The ability to work well as a team After the first practice, Rutter notice the players battled well, were an experienced group, and were very hungry to take the next step. "This group of young men has grown and become confident of success that they have deserved and I am proud of them" said Coach Rutter. First game the Rangers play is a exhibition Thursday, Nov. 2 at 7 p.m. The game is against the Coach Rudy's All Stars. The All Stars is a combination of ex-college players. So, come out and cheer on the Rangers. It should be a thrilling and exciting season!

But in the case of the uwParkside women's cross country, team honors and personal triumph went hand-in-hand this year. UW-Parkside's Mike DeWitt has been named Great Lakes Valley Conference Coach of the Year. That was the case for coach Mike DeWitt. He was recently named Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Coach of the Year. That also was the case for runner Amber Antonia who recently was named the GLVC's Women's Cross Country Runner of the Year. The exclamation point was put on this great season, Saturday when the women's team won the conference meet .at Evansville, IN. With Antonia winning the race in a time of 21:52, the team scored a 57, easily defeating host Southern Indiana which finished with 76. Other top UW-Parkside finishers were Erin Enright in seventh place with a time of 22:43, and Janna Weeden in 10th with a time of 22:57.

On Friday, Oct. 20, Troy Fabiano's team posted a 2-1 double overtime victory at Kentucky Wesleyan. It was a case of snatching victory from the jaws of defeat because the Ranger trailed 1-0 until Bryanna [urvis scored with just seven minutes left in regulation. Nicole Wenzel then bent the twines to ice the win. On Sunday, Oct. 22, Sara Bebe scored for UW-Parkside but there were no overtime heroics as the Rangers settled for a 1-1 tie with Bellarmine College.

Lasik eye surgery is one . of the newest procedures available to correct vision problems and countless people have had success with Lasik. During surgery, an anesthetic eye ~drop numbs the surface of the eye. The surgeon then uses a special device to cut a hinged flap of thin corneal tissue off the outer layer of the eyeball ·(cornea) and the flap is lifted out of the way. The laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue and the surgeon replaces the flat' which quickly adheres to the .eyebal . There are no stitches involved and the procedure usually takes aboirt 10-15 minutes. A plastic or perforated metal shield is placed over the eye to protect the flap. You may experience a mild burning sensation for a few hours after surgery and temporary blurred vision. For the best possible vision some patients need additional surgery called enhancements . According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO), seven out of ten patients achieve 20/20 vision. Good candidates for Lasik are those who are at least 18 years of age, (21 in some instances), have healthy eyes, in good general health, and clearly understand the risks and rewards of Lasik surgery. Pregnant or nursing women are not good candidates because these conditions may change the measured refraction of the eye.

Because there's a mar- ·ket for it." That's quite a strong statement from Richard Thieme. Thieme, as a former ~~gli~h professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago and Episcopal priest, wore many hats in his past. His col- .umn, "Islands in the Clickstream," is -read by subscribers in many countries. He came to UW-Parkside on Oct. 5 as a part of the Friends of the Library program. "I try to describe the present. I'm not ·a futurist. To some, the present sounds "like the future because they're 1, 2, or 3 .• tar-lengths behind the present." I Thieme touched on the subject of hackers and the world they pioneered and .created. "Hackers are searching for knowledge and information. They explored a world without boundaries. It's like when Native Americans first lived on this continent. They lived in a place and once the resources were used, they moved. They were unaware of imaginary boundaries. The hackers built the cyber-world and explored, for the imaginary boundaries had not been in place at that time." Looking for the next breakthrough, Thieme explored the futurist's vision and possible places to look. "It is now only possible to see five years in the future where it was once possible to see hundreds," Thieme said. "There are three places to look when you want to see the future: One !s the military. Look at what they're inventing-i-if you can find out about it. The s~cond is what children are playmg With. The third IS the sex industry. That's where the money goes so they have the funds to pour into new technology." For more information on Richard Thieme, access his web-address at www.thiemeworks.com.

Espy points out, "Our Halloween Hauntings are a great way to explore the different cultural representations of this holiday, and how others' cultural customs have influenced, or blended with our customs. At the same time, visitors can see all of our special exhibits, including the African Kurnbaruba ritual mask, while they enjoy eating some free candy." This is a great activity for any age, so no one needs to go alone because you can bring anyone along to partake in the festivities. Admission to the museum is $6.50 for adults, $5 for seniors (60+) and $4 for children (4-17). Call the museum at (414) 278-2702 for more information. Classifieds SURVIVE SPRING BREAK 2001!
