Larry Deutisch, who has much to say about the mission statement for UW-Parkside, has an answer to this question and many more. Thereis an overall mission for all of the schools in the UW-system, but each individual university has their own mission statement. The original mission statement of the University when it first opened its doors in 1968 endured 30 years before the Board of Regionsapproved the changes to the mission statement in 1998. The idea firstcame about in 1996, when it was suggested that the mission statement should be one that is less wordy and moreeasily understood by everyone. The original mission statement of the University was quite lengthy and difficult to comprehend. Between 1996 . and 1998 the changing of the mISSIon statement was a campus process that involved students, staff, and faculty adding their input about what the University stands for and what it should stand for in the future. What should the University provide for its current students and offer to potential students who may choose to attend UW-Parkside? Why is the mission statement important? The Board of Regions wants the University to live up to a certain standard. Il serves as a guide not only to those who work for the University, but to those attending the University as well. "The University of WisconsinParkside is committed to high quality educational pr0l>rams, creative and scholarly activities, and services responsive to its diverse student pop- 'SS'ON The UW-P mission statement poster, designed by Kelly Vida, is a recent addition to the halls and classrooms of the University. class was asked to come up with a design that would accompany the mission statement. Of the class of twenty-five, approximately six students designs were chosen as finalists, and of those six students, Kelly Vida's design was chosen. Once the posters were made, they were placed all over the university for everyone to see. "They wanted a design to catch your eye from a distance and hold your attention until you were right up to the poster, studying and reading it with great interest, and that is what Kelly Vida had accomplished with her winning design." They were placed next to every Xerox.machine, coffeepot, and classroom throughout the University. ulation, and its local, national, and global communities." The University won an award for its diverse student population and strives to achieve what they have stated in the mission statement. The Board of Regions is looking for input from students about their experiences at the University. Il is the individual student's responsibility to take advantage of what is being offered to them. If they feel for whatever reason the University has not fulfilled what they have promised, they can bring that to the attention of the Board of Regions. Kelly Vida was the graphic arts student whose design for the mission statement poster was chosen.

With Darrel Waltrip and his son, Dale Earnhardt [r., running in the lead, Earnhardt had been blocking for them over the final laps, frustrating the efforts of Sterling Marlin.

LU,BSU,SIA.Asian-A~erican,Earth ClubChristian Fellowship; are examples ~f the available organizations in the whole of Parkside that are now availableto use. An example of a new clubjust starting is SIA (Students in Action).Look for them and others on your bulletin boards for available timesand meetings. What difference do these have on ourlives and the community? (All the difference in the world it appears). The clubs facilitate and strengthen speaking out for your interests and theinterests of the choices available to thosewhose words are not heard. One person can start a movement in thought and amplify it by using an existing club or creating a group of same minded persons. Your interests and concerns are felt by others, put them together and create action from thepotential of the surn. Clubs are also a great influence in that their members' set standards they are examl?les for others to follow. Our campus, Its cleanliness and effectivenessineducating are a product of this. Hseems Parkside is our responsibility asit is responsible for our education. Quotes from people in ours: "Adela Lazano: I joined because I want a say in things ...!want to be able tovoice my concern.

We are listening. Thank you or your attention and time. Student and reader of The Ranger Sincerely, Pedro Rodarte Dear Editors, .A recent issue of The Ranger contamed what I believe to be an unfair review of th~ recently released movie Hanrubal. FITst, Jodie Foster's name was spelled incorrectly in the review. Second, not all sequels should be Judged agamst their predecessors. If one was to fairly judge Hannibal against the award-winning The Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal would have had to contain the following: 1 ) Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling. Early news reports claimed that Foster turned down twenty million dollars to star because she didn't agree with the scripted ending or Harris' novel (which contained Starling partaking in Lecter's dinner after being drugged to the point of insanity) while Hannibal producer Dina De Laurentis now reports that Foster refused to do the film for anything less than a 20 million salary plus half the film's profits. (It has made more than three million dollars worldwide in three weeks.) 2) Jonathan Demme as the director. Every director has their own style, and obviously the style in TSOTL differs from what Ridley Scott did in Hannibal. 3) A screenplay by Ted Tally, rather than the WHAT'S ON YOUR RESUME? If you are an English major or aspiring journalist, and have not yet written for a newspaper, what are you waiting for? Add skills to your resume that employers are looking for - writing, interviewing, editing and so much more. The Ranger News is now hiring all positions for the Spring 2001 semester. Stop by the office, located across from the Career Center in lower Wyllie hall. Meetings are Mondays from noon to Ip.m. and are open to all interested person~. When you graduate, what will you have . to offer? Mamet-Zailian screenplay that was used. 4) A score by Howard Shore, rather than the score by Hans Zimmer. I personally believe the Zimmer score to be vastly superior to Shore's. Only if the entire cast and crew from TSOTL had been assembled to shoot Hannibal could the two movies be fairly compared. and Leeter free to roam are vastly different. A lot of what he does in his first scene with Starling in the asylum ("...all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars while all you could think about was getting out, getting anywhere, getting all the way to the FB-I.") is meant to scare her, to freak her out. People remember that scene, and don't remember as much the ending phone call, where he acts much more like he does in Hannibal. My advice: If you don't mind a little gore, see the movie, and keep in mind that a lot of it is more black comedy than it is psychological thriller. Sincerely, Molly Beecher For the most part, Hannibal follows Harris' novel directly (with the exception of the ending). A few charactersare missing, as well asp few trips down Dr. Lecter's memory lane, but these are details that make literature literature and not a movie script. It would do a viewer well to remember that TSOTL was about Clarice Starling -Hannibal is about Hannibal Lecter. The author of The Ranger's review also mentions that Julianne Moore doesn't capture the innocent and proud determination of Foster's portrayal - she's not supposed to. Starling in Hannibal is ten years older and ten years wiser. Her career with the Bureau hasn't been what we'd like to believe it would be after the events of TSOTL. We also must remember that we are seeing Lecter in a different light than TSOTL.

At first I was not really excited about seeing this film, even though everyone Ispoke with raved about it. As Ibegan watching the film I was totally mesmerized by it. It was absolutely fabulous! The movie has English subtitles, but as the story progresses Iforgot they were even there. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the story of two warriors (Yun-Fat Chow and Michelle Yeoh) whose quest is to recover a stolen special sword, the Green Destiny. The hunt' to recover the sword takes the viewer on a spellbinding journey on rooftops and though tree branches. Woo-ping Yuen, who also worked on The Matrix, choreographed the fantastic fight scenes. I highly recommend seeing this movie. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the perfect date movie. It has magnificent action for the men and breathtaking romance for the ladies.

' TrJllhis for fun By Sheree Homer Ranger Fest is to be held on April 21st, from 12-4 pm in the student union. It is a festival and open house designed to reach out to the community. School Spirit has been lower in the last couple of years according to Chancellor Keating. He thought a festival would be a great way for students, staff, and community to join together and have some fun. This is the first year that it has been ,called Ran(\er Fest. In April of 1998 UW-Parkslde held a sprmg Open House Festival. This is also the first time it has been funded. Ranger Fest hopes to have much success, so it can return every year. John Rae Stevenson and Nicole Sicuro ' are the chair people and have worked hard on getting everything ready. Student organizations and some of the majors have already decided to share in the fun by opening exhibits. Some of the exhibits include an inflatable sky dome similar to the planetarium, an ocean bubble where people can view the marine life of an ocean, a water quality test, so the community can test their water for lead and other harmful ingredients, free blood pressure screening, mocktail.

Through membership in United Council, UW-Parkside students are linked to other student leaders statewide, and receive information, guidance, research, and service on studentissues.All United Council policy is determinedby student delegates from member campuses who meet regularly totake positions on issues and clirect the work of the staff. UnitedCouncil is a national leader for its work on federal financial aid and vcter registration. Working with student government associations from across WISCOI1Sin and the nation, United Council used grassroots support from students. and parents-in addition to direct lobbymg-to help increase federal financial aid awards last year. And, because student participation in the electoral process is critical, United Council coordinated a successful statewide, non-partisan Students Vote 2000 campaign to mvolve students through registration education, and get-out-the-vote efforts. ' United Council regularly lobbies the state legislature, the Governor's office and the Board of Re~ents in a consistent effort to control tuition increases and increase financial aid programs. In the 1999-2001 Biennial Budget, United Council successfully won a tuition freeze for resident undergraduate students in the 2000-2001 academic year, with an additional $28 million in state support to offset the tuition freeze and ensure- the quality of a UW education. United Council also successfully fought for state funding for UW System's Plan 2008: Quality Through Diversity, academic and career advising, libraries, and increased state grant aid.

United Council has always stressed the importance of student voices in the shared governance process of the UW System. United Council has worked to maintain and strengthen student control of student fees, and has been a clearinghouse of information and research on student safety issues, including e-mail privacy and the use of social security numbers as student identification numbers. Credit transfers, a headache for many students in Wisconsin, have been made easier through United Council's work with UW System and the state Mgislature. United Council continually opposes legislation, which would discriminate against student renters. Additionally, United Council played an instrumental role in defeating the Extra Credit Tax, which would have increased tuition for many students at UW-Parkside and across the UW System. United Council has spent 40 years of its existence ensuring that students enjoy the maximum benefit from their educations.

The first date, before a movie, after the game, mother's birthday, just .a few of the occasions that cause us to decide on a restaurant. We think very carefully about the place, the time, what we are going to wear, but rarely do we think about the server who is bringing our drinks and our dinners. Let us take a few minutes to think about what a server's job is like. Then we may have more respect and more patience for the people who are at the heart of our meal, Then some of us might think that it is not such an easy job to have. While it can be said that the general public on the whole knows how to act in a restaurant, it can also be said that quite a few people leave their manners in the car. Scenario one: when a server approaches a table that has just sat down she is required to give them some basic information, such as her name, the soup of the day, and the special of the evening. While most people politely listen, there are others who are blurting out what they want to drink before the server gets half her name out. The guests have just set the tone for the next hour and a half. Beforethe customers have their drinks in front of them they are considered rude. Usually if someone is rude, he or she will not tip well. Servers live on tips and if they feel that the tip they are going to receive is most likely going to be inadequate they will give minimum service. So you're saying that everyone should get good service regardless, right? How would your job performance be if your boss came to you and said that he was going to take two dollars off your hourly pay? Would you do the best job you could do? This is exactly how a server feels when they receive less than the standard gratuity of fifteen percent. Sure the server will take your order and bring your food out to you, but remember that soda you were fO eager to get? You might want to ration it because chances of getting another. one are slim. Oh need ketchup? Didn't you hear about the shortage on that? People like to feel that they are the most important guests in the restaurant. Servers enjoy doing their best to make the guests feel this way. While most guests understand that they are not the server's only responsibility, there are the exceptions. Let us imagine a Friday night, all the tables are full and there is a two hour waiting list. A family of four has just been seated at a table in the back of the dining room. The waitress goes up to the table and gives them her spiel, Then she asks the question of the night: "Can I get you folks something to drink right away?" The parents answer no problem, then the mother asks the question that every server dreads hearing; "Sally,honey, tell the nice woman what you want to drink." Why does the server cringe you ask? Because she knows what is coming next. The child's eyes go down and the face becomes pressed against the mother's side. Of course Sally is shy. By this time the server is thinking of about ten things that she needs to get done. The man at table ten needs his check, table four is ready to order, tables six and eight are waiting on food that should be ready at any time, oh right, Sally still needs a soda, or was it milk? Her mother is still trying to get shy Sally to order. Now having a child order for themselves is fine, when the restaurant is slow. When the restaurant is full the parents should order. Would you want to be kept waiting for someone's child? Let me point out another situation that happens all the time. A large group of people, let us say fourteen, has enjoyed dinner, drinks, dessert, and coffee. When the check arrives the party realizes that they forgot to tell the man waiting on them that they needed separate checks, Okay, you are probably thinking no problem right? Think about it. The waiter has to go back and figure out what every single person at the table had. What man had how many drinks, what couple had the steaks, and whose wife had two desserts. Often the people that ate the dinner can't remember what they had to eat, but expect their server to know. Would you be able to remember? While the server may be able to EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES WITH The Ranger News • Reporters • Sports Writers • Entertainment Editor • Columnists • Cartoonists For further information, contact Sarah or Brenda at 595 2287. Meetings are Mondays from Noon-l p.m. figure it out ins takin!,';away from the time he should be usmg to check on his other tables. If his other tables do not receive good service they will not tip well. To fix the mistake you made the server is losing money. So please remember to ask for separa te checks ahead of time. If you should forget realize that it was your mistake and have everyone throw in what they think they owe. Next time you will be sure to remember. Anyone who has ever worked in the food service industry will be the first to tell you that not every night runs smoothly. The kitchen falls behind, causing the food to take a long time getting to the table. Servers have bad days and may even drop things. Of course on days like this the customers will get angry. Most behave in a calm rational manner, but once again there is the extreme exception. We have all seen it, the angry man banging his fist on the table, yelling at the person attempting to wait on him, basically making a scene. When people act in this manner their complaints fall on deaf ears. Sure management will do what they can to calm this person down, but later in the evening the staff will have a good laugh 'at the offender's performance. Oh, and the people sitting around the gentleman trying to eat their dinners, they will feel bad for the waitress,and think of the man yelling as a foolwith a lack of control in handling his anger. The examples shown here arejusta few. While they may seem a bit extreme they happen at some level every day. We generally do not think of how we are coming across to the employees of the establishment, but we need to. The people who work in the food service industry have high paced, high stress jobs. We as consumers need to respect them and the service that they are providing. While not all servers are good at their jobs we need to remember that they are still people and people deserve respect and common courtesy. Still need ketchup? You might want to run to your car and make sure you didn't forget your manners. -¥- ~)~~ ,1t1r~5T Tracy Knofla of High Impact Training resenting... -:tsPiration & Humor Divide and conqu ~on~your Student Organlzatlonl Your Invited to atten .aJlcof;LttUtJoliowing leadership sessions: w·;F "t ,sui\din, er ..a" 47 ,> R1ll\g be"" _ 5~30p.lII. d\5C\l5S\I\g \ld~ s\on on tean\b\l seve 5es to cond\lct nstt'ated• and whY \\\ be del'l\O .,:;act\V\t\e§ w "~ ... - "';,~-.:::~:;:2::~~~:"fl~" "'anage__ ~ best lIIot. rn about dlffe - 9i30~~", I..'*-oo._~.---.&" Yate and rent lead'~-~ ~ I.outaae how to :'~;:-:'~icate W.thiW';::"''''''' yO(f.

By Tyrone A Payton The 5th Annual Summer China Tour has been set and planned for [une 25th to July 8th. As usual, Sociology Professor George Wang, a native of China, has promptly sponsored the tour. The trip includes stops to Beijing, Xian, Guilin, Shanghai, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, with . plenty of accompanying English speaking guides for translation. Also, there can be arrangements set for those students who wish to visit Hong Kong. The trip is offered as a three-credit course for either international studies or sociology and anthropology. Plus, the trip is available to community members as a learning eXJ?erience. There are a series of orientation lectures that precede the tour, which will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on May 8 to the 24th. Professor Wang hopes that these lectures teach background information on Chinese politics, changing economy, the evolving education system, family institution and tradition, and population control. He also hopes to team students some basic Chinese for communication, traveling etiquette, and a simple knowledge of Chinese customs. From the six stops, Professor Wang's children at the Women and Children's Shelter. We are also asking for volunteers to do some babysitting. In major Universities award ceremonies are held to recognize academic work on campus. Since U.W.t'arkside is so small we feel we can reach this goal through the production of a journal. Our first journal is going to be copied and should be available for a low price some time after Spring Break. It is our first attempt at taking the best of student's academic work in the classroom and getting them recognized for their work. Our first journal is entitled "Through Others Eyes." However we are going to change the name. We will also ask the professor to provide a summary about the subject matter and his/her intentions on the assignment. We will give full credit to each writer who chooses to be recognized. Not every class, or every student will get an opportunity to be published, but it may be likely that you will. If you are interested in participating or want to learn more about S.r.A. you can contact me at: ishihara@yahoo.com. Have you heard about the new dub on campus? Our main goal since we began this spring is to get some recognition for our journal and to recruit members. The Ideas and motivations for putting together s.LA. came from . a modest Eng1ish professor on campus. Last semester she had students participate in community service work, but we were having problems advertising since we had no sponsor. I didn't know what I was getting into at first, but since I had an interest in the importance of community, and a desire to be a leader on campus I was happy to get the club going. We differ from the Outreach club because of our intentions of putting together a journal to recognize student's academic achievement. However, we would like to work with them in the future. Throughout the semester we will be collecting children's books for the Community Action Agency and The Cops and Kids Reading Program. We are also collecting blankets for newborn babies at Kenosha Hospital. This one you may be familiar with from last semesfer. We also need volunteers to work as tutors for yOilllg tour will start off in Beijing, the capital of China, so students can leam first hand about the process of Chinese politics. From there, the city of Xian, an ancient caJ?ital of China, will emphasize Chinese history and integrated culture and religion. The next stop is the scenic Guilin, which is a center of tourism in China, and then on to the most modem city of China, Shanghai, where students will learn about economic development. At the last two stops will be Suzhou and Hangzhou, relatively small in China but DOth are considered heavily popu: lated by global standards. These two cities will emphasize the importance of Chinese tradition and family institution. These six tour stops offer a wide variety of Chinese development, which is the main focus of Professor Wang's trip, and it is what he hopes students will take back home with them. To all students who seem interested in an excursion to China, either attend the orientation series or call Professor Wang for more information. His office number is (262) 595-2520. Also, Laurie Odegaard in the UW-Parkside Center for International Studies can provide information at (262) 595-2701.

It's been almost five years since he began at Parkside, and now, with his new position, he hopes to make the school grow stronger. One of his first endeavors was to establish a new academic program in athletics with the addition of a Sports Management Certificate and a Wellness Certificate. Also, this past fall, they started the Sports Management major.Another focus of Dr. Klaver's is his involvement in the Great Lakes ValleyConference, which he has supported in financing from his first days here. His personal inclusion in the fundraising of the GLVC has helped keep it here at Parkside, which has in tum, given our athletic department a boost in competition, as the GLVC is division II of the NCAA. Although he admits the program still needs progress, Dr. Klaver is pleased with its effortand future direction for the University. Other pursuits of Dr. Klaver are the fact that with his new position, he is now the acting liaison between University Relations and government officials. At this command, he hopes that he'll be able to bring funding to the University in its endeavor to sponsor the b<;nefits of higher education. This position also entails that he must manage and maintain Parkside's home page. The most important emphasis that Dr. Klaver wants to focus on is the ability for students to navigate on the home page. He also plans on manufacturing a new design and belter procedures and programs so the home page can operate more cleanly. One interesting planned addition is the addendum of portals for the Parkside registered student. These portals will act as the students' personal page reference for all of their school activities and business at Parkside. Hopefully, all of these changes will be operational by fall, for it is significant to the school that the integrated marketmg of the school's communication is as efficient as it can be for the beginning of each semester. To quote Dr. Klaver, "Our main poal is to recruit and retain students.' With these future plans, Dr. Klaver hopes that the school will be able to expand in its academic and athletic departments. With this new position as Assistant Vice Chancellor of University Relations, Dr. Klaver expects that students on campus should anticipate an easier way to communicate and integrate with all operations here at Parkside.

Page 10 March 1, 2001 The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside - Parkside students travel to Costa Rica By Ruyayeem Rashid Normally the academic calendar follows the in the sequence of fall, sprin(\, and summer. But this year Parkside has offered Winterim classes for the 2000-2001school year. Winterim Classes ranged from various disciplines like biology, chemistry, geology and english. Most of these classes are from one to two credits only. One particular class took a field trip to Costa Rica. One student, Tom Overacker, registered for the class and summarized the whole experience as wonderful. So wonderful that he said, "1 will at some time definitely travel back to Costa Rica again!" When asked why he signed up for the class, he said, "1 've always enjoyed traveling and have never had the opportunity to do international traveling. What better time to go some place warm than right in the middle of winter. I've never really seen volcanoes or the rain forest, plus 1 wanted to start t gaining a wider view of different cultures. All that is ip addition to wanting to study first hand the geology and natural history of the region." There was a structured outline that Overacker and the rest of the class had to follow. The purpose was to cover a large portion of the country in a relatively short period of 13 days. Before going to Costa Rica, Overacker spent 16 hours of classroom preparation learning a general overview of the geology and biology of the region. In addition to the 16 hours of classroom preparation, he had to select a topic and do independent research. He choose to study the volcano "Rincon de la Vieja". Other preparations for the trip included a visit to the International Clinic to obtain vaccinations for Hepitus A, Typhoid Fever and Milaria. He also had to obtain a US passport. A typical day in Costa Rica included the students waking up early in the morning to a warm day and a breakfast of rice and beans. After breakfast, the class would travel to a new and ·exciting place, have lunch, explore another part of the region and return to dinner. In addition to traveling various parts . of Costa Rica, Overacker spent two weeks seeing and taking pictures of things you would normally see in an explorer's magazine like Natural Geographic. . Some of the most memorable parts of the trip for Overacker included a day at the beach, the trip to Monta Verde, sunset horseback riding, and several walks thraugh the topical rain forest.

Wolfenbtittel. in Wolfenbuuel, Germany, signed an agreement that complements the sister city relationship the two cities have . had for more than 30 years. Closing a long-standing gap in tbe otherwise healthy relationship between the two cities, UW-Parkside Cbancellor John Keating signed the agreement with a representative of Fachhochschule BraunschweigIWolfenbtittel, professor Achim Rogmann, in the Galbraith Room on Wyllie Hall's third floor. . Keating said the agreement shows UW-Parkside's commitment to "enriching our campus" and gives students a BYL.CONWAY B eginning in March of 2007, the uw- Parkside Student Union as you know it will be transformed into a multifaceted center dedicated to student leisure and activities. The planning for this extensive renovation was initiated in February of 2004 when the I Segregated University Fee Allocation Committee , and Parkside Student Government Association approved a $21 million budget in student fees to fund the renovation and expansion of the existing Student Union. The original Student Union was built in 1976 at a cost of $3.5 million in student fees and hasn't undergone any significant modifications since then. "It's had what I would call cosmetic kinds of renovations where they replaced the carpeting and redid the conference rooms and redid a bathroom and redid Union Square - mostly cosmetic," said director of Student Life, DeAnn Possehl. Revamping the building will provide UW- Parkside students with much-needed space for student activities and organizations, as well as updated facilities and services. "It's going very well," said Possehl, "The latest is, in the last two weeks it has been approved by the board of regents and the building commission. So, now the architects can begin the preparation of the construction documents in preparation for it being let out for bid. It's following the tirneline, so we're very pleased with that." The project is scheduled for completion in April of 2009, followed by a reopening celebration in September. The building project will ultimately create a new face for the UW- Parkside campus. The new Union is intended to serve as the main front entrance for the school. In all, the renovation will cost an estimated $24.57 million. However, this estimation is subject to change due to fluctuations in the costs of construction materials and stainless steel. .$23 million will be gathered in student fees and combined with $1.5 million in general program revenue dollars. . The student fees to support the project will be added to the cost of tuition over a spread 30 years. In the 2004-2005 school year, the collection of student fees began at $94.52 per student. Most of these students will never see, much less utilize the Union which they helped pay for unless they . come back as alumni. "Unfortunately that's just the reality of the way it works in the UW System," said Possehl. UNION page 12 Shuttle to Meet Racine Bus at Georgetown I BY JOE LUKASZEWICZ Catering to students from Racine, the UW-Parkside shuttle bus will make three trips to McDonald's near Georgetown In Racine during the next school year. These three trips will begin at 7:45 am; the shuttle bus will arrive at McDonald's at 8:00 a.m, and return to UW-Parkside at 8:15 a.m, The second trip will be '111:00 a.m.; the shuttle bus win arrive at McDonald's at 11 :15 a.m. and return to UW-Parkside '111:30 a.rn. Finally, at 5:00 p.m. the shuttle bus will arrive at McDonald's at 5: IS p.m. and return to UW-Parl<side at 5:30 p.m, . All that will be required to ride the shuttle bus is a UW-Parkside !D, to prove the passenger is a student. UW-Parkside Police chief, Michael Manion wants to "make sure that the Racine students who are relying on ROule 9 still have some form of transportation." He made the final decision to run the shuttle bus. in segregated fee money, so we will actually be saving around $13,000. That will be used to maintain the shuttle bus and pay for gasoline." Right now, UW-Parkside is not suie how much money it will actually cost to keep the shuttle bus running to Georgetown everyday. Marzion said, "We are always open to new ideas, but right now this is the most feasible solution, and after we try il;, we will decide whether we will keep going or whether we will have to change it." Manion also said there will be challenges with the shuttle bus running to Georgetown, such as students having to walk from the Talent Hall parking lot to Molinaro Hall for the three times shuttle bus makes its trip. Marzion said, "It's a balance" because this new system will definitely have both its negative and positive aspects to it. The next school year will be a trial run for the new shuttle bus route, starting the first day of the fall semester. much-needed global experience. Rogmann echoed Keating's comments . "Universities negotiate an agreement between campuse to give their students oppcnunitie, to travel and see the world," Rogmann said. "I'm very happy that the purpose of Ihi, agreement is not just to sign a piece of paper. but to bring life to that paper:' Kenosha and Wolfenbtittel municipal governments passed resolutions acknowledging one another as sister cities in 1974. But the citizens from the two cities started visiting four years before, when Wolfenbtittel sent a letter to Kenosha's People to People Program asking if there were host families for more than 70 Germans who wanted to visit Kenosha. Though Kenosha has had exchange programs with Wolfenbtittel for adults and high school students for "many GERMAN page 13 Mumps on the Move ... 11 .... - ... ,.. .... ..... Sl .........

WHITE Neighboring UW system schools have reported an exposure of mumps on campus. UW-Oshkosh has had four cases, and UW-Milwaukee now has 22 reports of either confinned or suspected cases of the virus infection. "Mumps is a viral illness II that is characterized by fever. head or muscle aches, tiredness. and swelling and tenderness of the salivary (parotid) glands just in the front or below the ear," said the Student Health & Counseling Center in an informational letter dated April 19. 2 An alternative idea involved sending the Kenosha Bus to Racine but that would cost the same amount of money to implement as the shuttle bus. Other ideas were also too costly to be implemented. Racine was charging around 25 percent of the real cost for Route 9, so any alternative to that route would cost more. At the end of the spring semester, the- Route 9 bus route will no longer offer transportation for UW-Parkside students from Racine. The price for maintaing the bus route is currently around $53,000. Previously, to pay for the bus route, SUFAC paid for most of the cost ($40,000), and the UW-Parkside police Department paid the rest ($13,000). SUFAC decided to no longer pay for Route 9, and the UW-Parkside police Department does not have the money to pay for it alone. About the effectiveness of the shuttle bus option, Marzion said, "n is not really saving us any money, the way that we will be paying around $40,000 h d f" "Come get t at goo copy. 11:00 AM, Senior An Exhibition Il, Com.

The following semester, I became assistant editor, and soon after that, at the end of my freshman year, I took the position of editor-in-chief. I've grown so much in the past three and a half years, gaining a world of practical education and experience. Although I won't graduate for another year, my work with our studeot newspaper will forever highlight my memories of UW·Parkside. There are so many people I've met who have affected my life in one way or annther. They have enriched my personality and introduced me to an infinite number of ideas and possibilities, and they are the people who make up this community I love. By working on The Ranger News, I have also learned to fully appreciate education, which is something I never thought much of prior to attending college. The paper was down on readership and credibility my first year and a half here. I wanted to fiod ways to improve it, and for the most part, I'm confident I did. I guess I've written more than 30 "Letters from the Editor," and this one is my last. Most ofthe ones io the past have focused on the internal operations of the newspaper, with overtones encouraging community involvement. In fact, I can't help but to use a brief portion of this "Letter" to encourage all students to look for a fitting studeot organization to be a part of next year. There are so many worthwhile opportunities here that it would be a shame to graduate without trying a few of them. Finally, it is time for me to move on from The Ranger News, and it is time for The Ranger News to move on from me. I'm optimistic that the newspaper will contioue growiog under its new ieadership, and I will be forever grateful for being part of such a valuable experience. Tbank you for all your support, Parks ide, but more importantly, thank you for reading. Henry D. Gaskins Editor-in-Chief 2003-2006 As next year's editor-in-chief, I am excited and anxious to continue strengthening and guiding the paper toward the highest potential of journalism. Readers can expect to see The Ranger News develop current areas as well as innovate a few new ideas. Our goals include continued advancement of the current page sections by covering a wider diversity of stories and possible additions of sections and themed columns. With plans for further developing the website, we will be publishing things that may be unable to fit within the weekly publication of the newspaper. Also, 1would like to encourage readers to bring to our attention any issues they feel should be included in the content of the newspaper or any news tips to share with us. With UW·Parkside and the interests of readers continuously expanding, it would be beneficial to increase staff size. A larger staff will enable The Ranger News the time to cover a wider variety of diversified issues. Those interested can apply for positions for next semester by calling The Ranger News office before the end of this semester, by filling out one of the applications located on The Ranger News office's door, or by e-mailing me at any point. I hope you, the readers, are excited to watch the newspaper achieve and maintain its potential. I am proud to be a part of the process. Christina M.
