Parkside Unites: A March Against Hate University of Wisconsin-Parkside students, faculty, staff joined in a walk around campus to send a message of dignity and respect for all Students, faculty, and staff march around campus on March 10 with signs promoting respect and understanding; shown here, marchers walk outside The Rita. NAOMI DORNFELD dornfO01 @rangers. uwp.edu In the last weeks of March, members of the Dignity and Respect Task force, a student, staff and faculty led organization, began discussing how Parkside could be proactive in the campus' mission and message of inclusion. After some discussion, the team decided to pursue a public march on site. Students were encouraged to attend and invitations were extended to the community. Every voice counts Before the halls were bustling with students attending morning classes on Friday, April 20, a small group of volunteers from the Dignity and Respect Taskforce, in shirts marked "Every Voice Counts," carried poster-board, construction paper and boxes filled with markers to Mid-Main Place. Sign-Making began at 9:00 a.m., where a dozen early-attendees got to work creating messages like "UWP: NO PLACE FOR HATE." Some groups, such as the Black Student Union worked together, writing, "BSU Stands Against Hate." Students, faculty and staff slowly trickled in and the room was transformed into a buzzing collective of willing participants by 10:00 a.m. No place for hate To kick things off, a Dignity and Respect Taskforce student leader, Krystal Slay, welcomed the crowd, expressed her appreciation for the positive turnout and gave instructions for the group to follow campus police officer Kurt Bergendahl along the route. Participants exited through the Mid-Main Place doors in file and followed the sidewalk to the Student Center Terrace. Marchers held their signs proudly and chatted casually along the path. A cluster of voices in the middle of the chain rose briefly, chanting "Parkside is great. No place for hate," which echoed sentimentally, but fizzled after about twenty paces. Geese gawked somewhat concerned at the commotion, but upon realizing the event was more of a peace rally than an uprising, did not protest or attack. COURTESY OF ALYSSA NEPPER One Step at a Time Upon the crowd's arrival at the Student Center Terrace, Slay greeted the collective from a podium and welcomed people to share from the mic. The intent of the event was outlined as an initiative to promote dignity and respect for all. Though not about gun violence in particular, coordinators recognized that the date of the march was the 10-year anniversary of the shootings at Columbine High School - a tragedy that compels conversation on the value of life and the importance of coming See UNITED page 3 Parkside alumnus runs for Kenosha county sheriff Andy Berg, active Kenosha community member, discusses motivations and platform AUSTIN AUSTIN KRIE KRIEGER GER board supervisor in his second term, services somehow and I've never sheriff. plans to offset costs for things such Krieg004@rangers.uwp.edu UW-Parkside alumnus Andy Berg has announced his candidacy for Kenosha Sheriff, running against incumbent David Beth. Elections for sheriff are to be held this fall. Berg has served in the military for over 19 years, as a Kenosha county board supervisor in his second term, as a correctional sergeant for 12 years and is executive director of Kenosha's Garden of Eatin' a nonprofit community garden. Motivation for running Berg recounts when he was a child his parents saying, "my parents always told me to get into civil services somehow and I've never really thought about it to the extent that they thought about it." Though Berg's participation in the community seems to be centered around some sort of civil service. Despite not being a police officer, Berg believes that his experience as a correctional sergeant "is in the wheelhouse" of what it takes to be a successful Building a better department Berg would also like to work to bring the department into a more productive progress through things such as grants provided to the department. Through these grants, Berg plans to offset costs for things such as materials and, most importantly, training for deputies. Training is one of the most important tools in a profession like policing as Berg states, "otherwise you get kind of stale, if you can increase your training you're becoming a better deputy and becoming a better department."

TYLER STEINSDORFER stein078@rangers. uwp. edu On Monday, April 26 at 2:00 p.m., Assistant Professor Jackie Arcy, a member of UW-Parkside communication department that specializes in media, led a group of students in a fake news workshop as a part of UW-Parkside's COMM Week in order to teach about the dangers of fake news and how to differentiate it from real news. Professor Arcy defines fake news as being news that is "created to deliberately misinform" the reader and often comes from "hyper partisan blogs." Prevalence of fake news Professor Arcy went on to state that there is "something more emotional about fake news." These fake news stories tend to align more with people's extreme views, and as a result validates their opinions. It is much more profitable to create these stories as there are no costs for expenses such as photography and research. In addition, there is no legal accountability for stories that are fake so the creators of these materials face little consequences for creating them. As two-thirds of adults get their news from social media outlets, many adults are exposed to a large amount of fake news articles whether they know it or not. The workshop Professor Arcy gave several tips for determining if an article is fake news or not. She described that it is important to check the article's source, author, data, sources, writing style, other sources and one's own biases. To test the students' analytical skills, Professor Arcy presented an activity for everyone to participate in to see if they could determine if a particular article is fake news or not. She handed seven different articles for groups of students to look at and try to figure out whether the articles were satire, legitimate news, fake news or news with extreme bias. As modern society is saturated with fake news, one can only hope that people will take a news articles with a grain of salt and check if it is actually factual.

May 2.2Q18 THE RANGER NEWS CAMPUS NEWS | 3 Briefs Additions to parenting room in library JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers. uwp. edu The UW-Parkside library staff has continually worked to make additions to their library for the benefit of the university's students. A wide variety of students attend the school, and some of them can face obstacles to their education. New parents are one such student demographic, but recent additions to the parenting room in the library can help to make their lives easier. The parenting room is a study space designed to accommodate parents and their children. It has existed for about a year, but since then the room has had numerous additions including a reclining chair, a CD player with nursery rhymes, and a wall-mounted felt board with cut-out characters. Parenting essentials are also included such as a changing table, sink, soap, and a mirror. Though reservations are not possible, a privacy wall splits the room such that it can be used by two parents and their children at once. It is located near to the children's Literacy Lab area with picture books and other simple books on the second floor of the library. The area is designed for children of all ages to use and features comfortable beanbag seating as well as games. Originally, the parenting room was a suggestion from a student, and the library staff made it a reality. Student comments and suggestions regarding the library are always welcome and can be sent to askus@ uwp.edu for consideration. Earth Day KRYSTAL DODGE thom008@rangers. uwp. edu On April 21, Campus Activities and Engagement organized an Earth Day clean up event. Breakfast was provided in the Brickstone. Volunteers worked at their sites from 9 a.m. until noon. Volunteers were also giving commemorative t-shirts. Earth Day was started in 1970. It gave voice to emerging consciousness and put environmental concerns on the front page. It is great to see UW-Parkside taking an active role in cleaning up the community. You do not have to wait until next Earth Day to take part in cleaning up our planet. There are many small things you can do every day to make a difference. Be conscientious and pay attention to your carbon footprint. ENCORE FRAP HOUR Half Price Frappuccinos!

Chancellor Debbie Ford encourself-assessment questions aimed at identifying the terms of dignity and respect in the controversial political climate. A few students opened up about their personal experiences and confirmed the relevance of anti-hate initiatives on campus. Victor Villa, a business management transfer student, new to the scene at UWParkside urged the crowd to see the power of small actions and to continue to stomp out hate one step at a time. event To close the event, those involved in the day's activity were encouraged to sign their name on the painted rock marked No Hate on the grounds. Before dismissal, the group collected for a picture to commemorate the event. The crowd slowly disassembled, making their way back to Friday afternoon routines. Some of the messages created were carried back into campus, posted in offices and in the Student Center Window which now serve as reminders to all that the community is committed to a place of inclusion, dignity and respect.

Digital Design Fabrication Lab launches New lab in The Rita allows students to bring ideas to life l i J J otn/lrtntn tiiAlllrl iirpntl KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu The College of Arts and Humanities hosted a soft launch for the Digital Design and Fabrication Lab on April 18 for the students and members of the community, which featured a tour and demonstration of several of the lab's features. This was followed by a panel of department faculty and other members of administration who have been instrumental in making this lab a reality. The panel featured Fireside theater employee Nate Stamper, graphic design professor Carey Watters, art professor Trenton Baylor and theater art professor Jody Sekas. Colleges strive for continuous improvement, and consequently, UW-Parkside is constantly seeking to improve and enhance their facilities in order to remain relevant and competitive. With technology and digitalization becoming aspects of our everyday life, the College of Arts and Humanities wanted to come up with a way that students can be competitive in a digital world. Chancellor Debbie Ford said the lab has "a goal to make sure that our students are prepared to live, work and contribute in this digital world." The digital lab is a tool that will enhance students creative problem solving skills by encouraging new ideas and critical thinking. Students will leam how to use the machines with the intention of teaching the students how to turn ideas into designs and then create the objects. Scott Wallenberg from Modine Manufacturing Company said that math and science students would greatly benefit from learning these skills and makes them more competitive in the job market. The conception and creation of the lab took a little over two years. Professor Baylor submitted a sabbatical in the fall of 2016, and a proposal for funding came in February 2017. The lab is finally up and running in April 2017. With the current technologically advanced landscape of the modern job market, institutions of higher learning must incorporate technological education in order to remain relevant and competitive. UW-Parkside's addition of the Digital Design and Fabrication lab is a step in the right direction to prepare students for life after college.

The event was held in Kenosha at the Italian American club which is located at the corner of 52nd Street and 22nd Avenue. Competition for a cause The Kenosha Literacy Council is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and teaching English literacy skills such as reading, writing and speaking to adults and families. It has helped educate the community since 1965. Most of what the organization does involves classes and tutoring, though they hold some fundraising events throughout the year. The corporate spelling bee is one such event, and it has been held since 1999, making this latest spelling bee the 19th one held. The spelling bee is a good-natured, themed competition (the theme this year was Harry Potter) in which teams are tasked with correctly spelling words, and the loser is eliminated in each round until a winner is determined. It is called the corporate spelling bee because the teams consist of members of local businesses and organizations. UW-Parkside was one of two Kenosha area colleges that had a team at the event as Gateway Technical College had a team of its own. Four students comprised the UW-Parkside team: Rachele Schwer, Kailee Dunker, Bianca Ruffolo, and Marcelo Hernandez. UW-Parkside students have participated in the past, but these four students took it upon themselves to organize a team for this year. A positive experience Kailee Dunker, a senior who is majoring in political science and liberal studies with a certificate in project management, wrote to the Ranger News regarding her experience via email.

When asked if she would recommend participating in the spelling bee to other students, she wrote, "Yes, because it is a unique experience. I was surprised and impressed by the number of people in the community who came to support [the Kenosha Literacy Council]." Until next year Next year will mark the 20th year the competition has been held.

The sets, the acting, and the music all worked together to make a nice end to the 2017-2018 theater season, and it was a perfect way to kick off finals. The story is set in a vaguely 1950's scene, with telephones, elevators and mini bicycles to modernize the myth, but it has a timeless feel to it. Orpheus (Kyle Racas) is a famous musician and, indeed, he seems more interested in his music than his bride-to-be (at least while she was alive), and he hears it played out by his muse (Kimberly Hetelle). Eurydice (Christiane Laskowski), the star, is his fiance and she loves him, though she seems to feel unappreciated and is distinctly more booksmart than he is. She is mourning the loss of her father, who will not be there for her wedding, though she is happy to be married. Eurydice's father (Jarrod Langwinski) is in the Underworld writing letters to his daughter and trying to devise a way to get them to her. The Lord of the Underworld (Ryan Zierk) finds one and makes his way up to the world of the living. He taunts Eurydice with the letter and leads her to his house, away from her own wedding party. She dies, seemingly from being pushed down his stairs. In the Underworld, Eurydice does not remember anything. Her father recognizes her and, as he regained his memory by remembering her name, he sets out to protect her and keep her safe in the Underworld (though the Stones (Alexa Uselmann, Joe Schwaller, and Destiny Kent) disapprove). Meanwhile, Orpheus is going Eurydice played by Christiane Laskowski(right), and her father played by Jarrod Langwinski (left). mad with grief and trying every way to get messages to Eurydice, trying to save her from the Underworld. He sends her a letter and a book, showing that he really does care about her. When Eurydice remembers everything, she is anxious to see Orpheus, but she is enjoying her time with her father. The Lord of the Underworld (dressed as a child) tells her she is to be his bride and she refuses, but we know that he is not going to take that "no" lightly. Orpheus manages to get to the Underworld by following a note. The Lord of the Underworld tells him that he can have Eurydice back, but only if he does not look at her. Eurydice is reluctant to leave her father, but he walks her away (an echo of a traditional walk down the aisle). Eurydice cries out for Orpheus. He looks back. They argue for a moment before they are ripped from each other. Eurydice returns to the Underworld to see the room her father constructed for her gone, and that her father dipped himself into the River of Forgetting. She too dips herself in the River, after writing a note for Orpheus. Orpheus arrives to see them both by the River, asleep, and to find that he too has forgotten. Memorable moments The play was amazing, and the actors were great, but the set stole the show. The raining elevator that brought the dead into the Underworld and rose from the floor was, of course, incredible, but the stationary scenery—the floating candles that glowed like stars when the spotlights were down, the mosaic tile that was reminiscent of the Greek mythit was the little details that really brought this play to life. Christiane Laskowski and Kyle Racas had amazing performances with a great command of the comedy and drama that the roles required, but the best moment for me was when Jarrod Langwinski was alone on the stage. After attempting to send a letter to his daughter, he "walked down the aisle" with his arm out, pretending to be there with her. After such a heartfelt reading of his letter, I was almost in tears by the time he ran offstage to his job. It was one of the best performances I have ever seen at UW-Parkside. Overall, the play was amazing and I highly recommend everyone attend next-year's plays. ~DR. BENSON'S STUDENT POETRY PICKSSmall Eden by Sydney Schoone The splendor of God flourished as the blushed violet sunset cast its rich light over the saint cloaked in his onyx robe and a visiting angel wrapped in transparent linens as they stood within the fenced-in garden beside the aged stone church The angel came upon request by God to give praise to the saint about how lovely and verdant the crimson poppies had grown within the small Eden the saint had made on Earth making the saint blush just as red as he thanked the angel in humble humility The two disciples then clasped their hands together in loving prayer and the flowers seeing this bowed their heads in thanks for the life they had been given while the last drops of sunlight faded over the hills as they all relished in the splendor of their God Indie game presents unique experience COURTESY OF PLAYSTATION EUROPE VIA FLICKER "Night in the Woods" offers beautiful, dark graphics in a side-scrolling style. VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING ONLINE JACK PURVES purveOO1 @rangers. uwp. edu "Night in the Woods" is an adventure game with a focus on narrative. The game takes place in the fictional, decaying former mining town of Possum Springs located in the rust belt. You play as Mae Borowski, a twenty-year-old college dropout (and an anthropomorphic cat) trying to get back into life at home while still living as a delinquent. Engaging Story Memorable characters drive an intriguing tale. Past the everyday activities of a delinquent, the story delves into a tale of the deteriorating town of Possum Springs and the "paranormal" activity haunting it. Some surprisingly fitting dry humor is abundant in the dialogue between characters which brings a certain lightheadedness to an otherwise unsettling and melancholic story. Beyond the plot itself, the characters throughout are surprisingly relatable. Whether it be putting cups over their ears, obsessing over horror movies, or just about anything else, the actions of every character leave a lasting impression. Captivating atmosphere Despite its condition, the atmosphere of Possum Springs is dynamic and full of character. This is due to both the art style and soundtrack, which make an otherwise dreary town look appealing. The sound design in general is very well done. From the sounds of leaves blowing in the wind, to the subtle rainfall of an overcast day, to the sounds of shoes scuffing on the ground, everything sounds superb. Narrative-focused mechanics Ultimately, "Night in the Woods" is "experienced" more than it is "played". The game implements platformer-esque mechanics for getting around and it allows you to interact with others as you please, but you are ultimately pushed forward through a mostly linear story. This is the one thing that hampers 'Night in the Woods", as it limits replayability when it comes to the main storyline. Fortunately, it also offers plenty of enthralling side stories as compensation to discover throughout one or more playthroughs of the game. All in all, "Night in the Woods" can send players on a philosophical trip that explores the smaller aspects of life. It features a memorable cast of main characters, several lovable side characters and plenty of lore in which to immerse oneself. All this is supported by a charming art style, a fantastic soundtrack and a lack of bugs and glitches. While the replayability is limited by the linear storyline, the amount of rich story that you can uncover more than makes up for it. With its story, "Night in the Woods" set out to leave a lasting impression, and it sure does; if you're looking for a nice game to play while wrapped in a cozy blanket and having an existential crisis, this game is just what you're looking for.

May 2,2018 THE RANGER NEWS CULTURE | 5 "Toni Erdmann" a.k.a. "Awkward silence: The movie" ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers. uwp. edu Over the course of the past year, UW-Parkside has played host the some of the most critically acclaimed foreign films of 2016 and '17, ranging from musical comedies to historical dramatizations. In my personal opinion, the majority of these films have been engaging and interesting, but only one has inspired a second watching, and others have been genuinely difficult to get through. The most recent addition to the latter list would be the final film of the series, "Toni Erdmann". "Toni Erdmann" is the story of a driven career woman and the quirky father that turns her life upside down in a matter of days and manages to show her that a little humor never hurt anyone. Sounds like a real gutbusting, heartstring-pulling adventure, doesn't it? Well, most of the critics would have to agree "Toni Erdmann" is likely one of the highest rated films from the Foreign Film Series, recieving a 93% rating from Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, as well as a 7.5 out of 10 on IMDB, not to mention all the awards. This one film was nominated for 126 different awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe and a Ines Conradi, played by Sandra Huller, BAFTA, and more than half of the nominations were for best film. Of the 126 award nominations, "Toni Erdmann" actually won 51. Reviewers all over the world have been all too eager to throw praise at the film, saying that movie-goers are in for a laugh out loud, thought provoking treat. A.O. Scott of the New York Times went so far as to claim that 'Toni Erdmann" was "By a wide margin the funniest almost-threehour German comedy you will ever see." Personally? I think that barely misses being an insult to German comedy, because there cannot be that many "almost-three-hour" German comedies. POLAND PETS MAKE LIFE BETTER! naked In film "Toni Erdmann." Blink and you might miss the genius I have no idea what I missed while watching the film, but it must have been something big, because there is no way I would rewatch this film, let alone nominate it for an Oscar. I have never minded a dramatic or thoughtful pause or lull in dialog, but when that lull lasts upwards of ten seconds, and the only payout is a middle-aged man putting in a set of glaringly false teeth? Call me crazy but that does not fit my definition of hilarious. The characters were hard to identify with as well, and may be that is because of my young age and lack of life experience, but they all seemed so humorless or shallow or COURTESY OF FWWEEKLY.COM just plain dull. Giving credit where credit is due In all fairness, the last half hour of the film was a complete departure from the rest of the somber attempts at comedy and was startlingly funny. However, when I say "startlingly", I do meant that. Seriously, if you are not in the mood to see a bunch of nude people awkwardly interacting after having already interacted awkwardly for two hours, just skip this one and come back hoping next year's Foreign Film Series has a better selection. That's what I'll be doing. This Week In History: The Los Angeles Riots: Civil unrest and violence RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu The Los Angeles Riots are one of the most contentious and heavily debated events of the civil rights movements in the 90's. In the United States, there has been a history of tensions between law enforcement and ethnic minorities, and that issue is once again coming to the forefront of American politics. Often times, when we look back into history we are able to clearly define people and events as good or bad. The Los Angeles Riots are a grey area of recent American history and a sad reminder of why civil rights are so important. Excessive force Anyone who keeps up with recent news has heard this debate quite frequently as of late—how much force is too much force? This was the cast in the arrest of an African American man named Rodney King in 1992. Rodney King had been beaten continuously for over a minute by four officers. They claimed they had already tried to subdue him once and that he had thrown them off. The beating was the only part that was caught on video, however, and the jury, which was mostly white, chose to acquit the officers on April 29,1992. Soon, over three hundred individuals had gathered outside the courthouse to protest the acquittal of the policemen. Deadly force Tensions between the police and the African American community were just one of the causes of the riots. In 1991, a Korean shop owner shot a young African American girl that she believed was stealing a bottle of juice from her store. The shopkeeper shot her after the girl struck her, killing her before the police arrived. It was an example of deadly force that was used against minorities for minor crimes. The shopkeeper was convicted of voluntary manslaughter and fined $500, serving no time behind bars. This was one of the many things that led to tension between the African American community of Los Angeles and the growing Korean population. It also demonstrated the failure of the law to protect the African American community. The tensions these events caused were just two small parts of a much larger web of injustice. The lack of conviction of the police officers was just the final straw that broke the camel's back. The riots The riots included looting, assault and arson among other crimes and much of the violence was law enforcement against African Americans and African Americans against Koreans. The circumstances that led up to the riots were just as awful as the aftermath. 63 were dead, over 2,300 were injured, and over 12,000 were arrested. Koreans experienced unprecedented levels of violence directed at them in the days of rioting and received little protection from the police. The California National Guard and military were both called to put an end to the rioting. The Los Angeles Riots are an example of why police-minority relations are still strained. The failure of communities to address this issue and bring about change can end in disaster. The riots only occured after tensions finally boiled over. The Los Angeles Riots are an emotional reminder that ethnic minorities in the United States have had a long and difficult history in our country and that the demand for change cannot be ignored.

Contact Ethan Costello, coste012@ rangers .u wp .edu. ETHAN COSTELLO coste012@ rangers, uwp.edu The past several months in Wisconsin have been trailed with the ever-looming promise of economic glory to come. Gov. Walker has incessantly pressed for an investment of Foxconn in southeastern Wisconsin, and the corporation is all but confirmed for the construction of their facilities. Yet, despite all the alarums raised against the companies, our Chancellor Debbie Ford seems much too eager to welcome them here with open arms. Walker and other wealthy interests—businesses and politicianskeep proclaiming this deal will bring about a stimulation of the Wisconsin economy like nothing else before it. The promise of 13,000 jobs within the proposed Foxconn facility alone, plus 10,000 constructions jobs and interest from 500 businesses is most certainly an enticing idea because most assuredly, Wisconsin is suffering. The world is suffering. What they do not tell you is that these jobs are possible through questionable means to the point of honest reappraisal. The hacked-out deal calls for complete disregard of environmental regulations. Local newspapers have reported that air, water and land regulations are being discarded to accommodate for Foxconn's unhealthy requirements. The corporation is expected to pump an unsustainable amount of water from Lake Michigan for use in its facility—our clean drinking water—and will not be held accountable for fully returning their debt, and with no obligation to return it pollution free. There are also economic concerns. The proffered incentive package is now up to $4 billion to be paid to Foxconn as they work towards A Message from Nature: The zero waste lifestyle: a trendy illusion ADELANA AKINDES akindO01 @rangers. uwp. edu I first found out about the zero waste movement a few years ago after stumbling across a video on YouTube. The woman, Lauren Singer, had gone a year living a 'zero waste lifestyle' and all the waste she did produce was concealed within a single mason jar. She used homemade toothpaste, bamboo toothbrushes, reusable upcycled razors and glass jars instead of plastic tupperware. It seemed impossibly green, chic and eco-friendly. Zero waste thinking has its advantages, mainly by drawing constant attention to the issue of waste. By committing to a zero waste lifestyle, this awareness becomes instilled into everyday decisions and thoughts. One takes into consideration how much waste they "produce", how much is thrown away and what in their lives can be used more than once. One may learn to value things that last longer, that have more staying power in one's life and which are not easily disposed of. Yet the issue of waste cannot be solved from individual choices about what to buy. We can try navigating the market to find products that fit a zero waste standard: no plastic packaging, long their job creation mark. Where is this money coming from? The taxes that we are all paying. Economists expect Wisconsin's gross domestic product (GDP) to increase by $51 billion dollars, but that figure does not indicate impact on standard of living. What is likely going to happen is that the thousands of workers will not be paid their true worth to the company; the workers' value will be sent upwards towards managers and administrators, and the money made from us Wisconsin workers will be funneled overseas to the Taiwanese based company, benefiting wealthy interests at the hard-to-see detriment of Wisconsin laborers. Chancellor Ford and other education administrators at UWMilwaukee and Gateway seem to willfully ignore these considerations. In several press releases and reports, Chancellor Ford anticipates the need to provide Foxconn with a host of educated workers—a docile workforce. The question is why? This will look very good for the Chancellor and UW-Parkside's Administrations, won't it? This would lead to more revenue from further investment in the campus from outside sources. Some would argue is a good thing, but judging by how our administration handles our money—with actions like cutting programs and faculty while spending money on aesthetic projects like Wyllie Hall — further investment would not be set aside for the students and faculty who desperately need the funding. I urge the Chancellor to reconsider this partnership.

Yet when one goes grocery shopping with their reusable bags and mason jars, buying items in bulk, it is impossible to notice all of the other items, the wasteful, one-use items which are still the norm. It is the mindset of capitalism, hyperfocused on increasing profit, that is the root of the problem. It is this constant overarching system of overproduction and misuse of resources which ultimately needs to change for 'zero waste' to be a realistic vision. Simply because waste does not reside in your own home, does not make it any less of a reality somewhere else. No matter what the consumer chooses to do with the waste in their own home, it is still being made on a mass scale. The consumer is not the true producer of waste. When one wishes to rid one's life of plastic products for example, they are only navigating a maze. Whether you use plastic or not, it's still being produced and mass distributed on a grand and global scale. What the zero waste lifestyle does is bring to a person's attention the materials they use, where these materials come from, and where these materials are going. It is in this way that conscious consumerism is as an effective step for the consumer. Yet in order for any large-scale, long-term solutions to be made with environmental degradation, it is time for the true producers of waste, the giant corporations of this planet, to consciously consume.

Student media across the country threatened, especially in Kansas ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE SUNFLOWER CHANCE SWAIM, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF They lock doors. They steal newspapers from racks. They shoot high school magazines with rifles. They set them on fire. They confiscate cameras. They threaten to pull funding. "They" are censors, and you don't have to look far to find them. Last spring, administrators locked Hutchinson Community College's student newspaper staff out of its newsroom after a series of articles exposing administrative and faculty bullying. This year, Butler Community College's student newspaper had copies stolen from the racks when they printed a story about a football player's arrest for murder in another state. Eisenhower High students burned and shot copies of a student publication that featured an illustration of a Ku Klux Klan member as a Trump supporter. Shawnee Mission North student journalists had cameras confiscated by a principal for covering a protest with which he disagreed. Emporia State's student government cut its student newspaper budget following an outstanding series of investigative stories uncovering sexual misconduct by a faculty member. The examples listed above have all happened to student journalists and their publications in Kansas in the past year. But the problem is not unique to Kansas. Student newsrooms across the country have come under increased threats this year, including The Sunflower, at a time when student newspapers are more important than Community Connections: Slay your finals with these awesome study tips KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu It is that time of the semester again. We are all struggling to earn good grades and finish the semester strong. There are a variety of things you can do, study tips you can try and resources you can utilize to help you achieve the grades you want and need. Do not let the end of the semester stress get you down. According to Deloitte Center for Higher Education Excellence, "Nearly one-third of undergraduates leave after their first year, and many require six years to complete their studies." That seems daunting, but you can be successful! It is important to get proper sleep, eat healthy, stay hydrated and manage your stress. You can handle your class work and tests. You must allocate your time effectively, develop good study habits and prepare for your tests. There are many helpful study tips. Cognitive scientists suggest alternating study places and switching between subjects. Forming study groups with your peers and making flash cards are great ways to study. The New York Times reported that consistent testing can help you to relearn information and recall it for your finals, so perhaps all those annoying tests are a good thing. ever to the communities they serve. But why now? Student newspapers have always covered controversial subjects. They've always had a rebellious streak and exposed wrongdoing, propelled by a strong sense of justice. They've always pissed off administrators and student governments. The question administrators and student governments across the country need to answer is why attempt to destroy something that's not broken — es pecially as its importance grows? As professional newspapers struggle to gain a foothold in the marketplace of the 21st century, many are undergoing, or have already undergone, the same corporate transformation other industries made decades ago. The same goes for universities. In some industries, like fast food, conformity maximizes efficiency and ultimately improves the product. For example, when McDonald's fries taste the same in Fresno, California, as they do in Wichita, that's good business. But when a newspaper in Wichita is the same as the newspaper in Fresno, California, you can be sure readers in neither location are being properly served. When corporate owners demand the same conformity from newspapers as fast food restaurants, the consequences are dire. Like newspapers, public universities are making a late transition from once-differing institutions to boxy, indifferent, bottom-line-obsessed corporate entities. As corporate universities become more alike, they must expend more money and effort on branding, insisting they're different from their competition — sim ilar to the Cola Wars between Pepsi and Coke. Student newspapers, protected by Effectively using your time is often hard. For each college credit you are taking it is recommended you spend 2 to 3 hours studying per week. Sometimes you have to get creative to fit that all in. Do things like bringing those handy flash cards you made to review in your downtime. Just remember to take breaks as well, because after 90 minutes of studying you will have a hard time focusing. Do not be afraid to take naps, because a sleepy brain is a slow brain. Test anxiety is a common issue. If you are experiencing test anxiety and it is negatively affecting your performance at school, you should get evaluated. There are accommodations available if you qualify. Some examples of accommodations are extended test time and testing in a quiet room.

Krystal Dodge is a junior majoring in psychology. the First Amendment and relatively insulated by sustainable funding through student fees from the corporate forces hamstringing local newspapers, are caught in the middle of this madness. But the sustainable funding that insulates student newspapers, like The Sunflower, from the corporate decisions diminishing local newspapers and universities across the country is in jeopardy. The First Amendment protections afforded student newspapers, too, have come under threat. Student newspapers are now at a crossroads: do they continue bravely and independently serving their readers free from corporate influence and brand-building demanded by their intersecting industries — h igher education and newspapers — o r do they conform, sell their souls, and help build the brand of their schools in exchange for student fees. For The Sunflower, this crossroads was clearly laid out in an email from an administrator. It was said we could not operate "without bias or control from anyone" because we receive student fees. The answer for The Sunflower, and other ethical student newspapers across the country, is simple. A newspaper functioning as a publicrelations arm of the university, suppressing confrontational coverage and giving a false impression of reality, is worse than no newspaper at all. Student newspapers serve a vital role in our democracy and occupy a special place in our society that allows the truth to determine its coverage — n ot its profitability. In these tough times for student journalists, The Sunflower supports all student publications as they fight for their right to report the truth.

He proudly wobbled onto the ballroom stage to collect his award. "It's great to finally be..." Daniel stated, before holding a hand to his temple. "Excuse me," he resumed, adjusting his Top Gun aviator glasses. "I have to go to the bathroom." He then disappeared for the remainder of the event. Another underdog win came for Jane B.

NAOMI DORNFELD the resolution is a mostly symbolic dornfOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu With the repeal of DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) an administrative protection against deportation of eligible immigrant youth, many students across the country face the daunting risk of displacement. In response to the threat this poses to UW-Parkside DACA recipients, Parkside Student Government leaders have begun discussing how to best address the issue. Symbol of solidarity Parkside Student Government Vice President Keough Lemieux affirms the need for action to take place, but also considers the possible negative consequences of declaring UW-Parkside as a "Saftct'u-" • ary School", since it could draw unwanted attention and increase potential risk for DACA recipients. Considering the issue's complexity, Keough states, "UW-Parkside DACA recipients are a tremendous asset to our community. For now, statement that we stand with DACA recipients and the organization will hopefully be taking more steps forward in the future." Current resolution As of March 22,2018, the resolution states the following: Parkside Student Government, stands with "undocumented Youth and DACAmented" individuals in an effort to help maintain UW-Parkside's climate of diversity and inclusivity, supports, and informs about DACA by creating programs and to incorporate our campus as a safe zone that protects all of those who would be impacted by the repeal of DACA. This initial resolution will be sent to campus administrators. A slightly modified version may be in the works to send to off-campus organizations in the greater Southeast Wisconsin community. Thoughts from senate Parkside Student Government Senator Sarah Myer expressed her thoughts on the decision after the original document revisions, saying, "with the edits that have been made to first and by adding specification, we have made it a good first resolution." Nodding in agreement, Senator Loveneet Sidhu added, "I support the resolution that is a work in progress right now because it highlights a real concern. It is an issue that students who attend UW campuses are facing and it does need to be brought to light." Although standing in support of the current resolution, Loveneet calls for the need to act with caution, adding, "We want to help, not hurt, DACA recipients, so we are seeking more information before we move ahead." The Parkside Student Government resolves to stand in solidarity with DACA recipients and continues to brainstorm the more effective approach to make UW-Parkside a safe space, indiscriminately. Professor releases newest book on J.D. Salinger Josef Benson examines legacy of classic work, uncovers unsettling writing style HOLLACE VILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu Unsurprisingly, Josef Bensonassistant professor of English and director of the Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies Program at UW-Parkside—has a knack for the written word. After his first book about hypermasculinity in novels was published in 2014, Benson has been hard at work producing his next project. Benson's newest book, published on March 12, "J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: A Cultural History", explores themes from the classic "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger and the way that it has been adored by readers for over fifty years. With that, he dives into the personal experiences of J.D. Salinger to provide textual context. An all-time favorite Professor Benson claims that'The Catcher in the Rye" had always been among his favorite books, and says, "I first read the book when 1 was 16, actually. I loved it at the time, it was...the book that got me into writing and got me into literature. I was pretty much hooked after I read that." Discussing the significance of his most recent publication, Benson stated, "I think [Salinger's life] is an important part of the story. I went for years and years and years loving the novel and not knowing the details of Salinger's life that inform the book." An in-depth look "Catcher in the Rye" serves as a criticism on liberalism, and, on that note, Benson claims that "there's too much whining and not enough activism," Because of this, he states that the book can be considered dangerous because of its "potential for change." It is seen as a radical, progressive novel, and because o this, he says that "the book has been widely taught, but it has also been widely banned." With the research that Benson has done on Salinger's private life, he uncovered personal ties to "Catcher in the Rye" that added a new perspective to how the book is perceived. He stated, "these facts about Salinger's life are rarely known, but they are crucial to understand the novel, from his Jewishness to his love of women. I did not set out to COURTESY OF EVA STEINER Josef Bensen in his office, CART 232. slam Salinger, because I'm a huge fan of his work, but what I found out was very unsettling and also very interesting in regard to how he wrote." Benson's book was published on Amazon on March 12, and is available in hardcover. With the new spin on a literary classic, "J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye: A Cultural History", is sure to cause as much impact as its inspiration.

OPINION Experience the outdoors! Upcoming bio lab highlights UW-Parkside's handson approach Dr. Catherine Mossman discussed an upcoming lab in her BIOS-102 class JOSEPH CANNING canniOO 1 @rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside is regionally eminent for the comprehensive and effective courses offered by its College of Natural and Health Sciences. In particular, the pre-med program, applied health sciences major and the biological science major are well-respected and attract numerous students looking for affordable, quality education to the university. The Ranger News spoke with Dr. Catherine Mossman, a biology professor at UW-Parkside who is been at the university for over 17 years, about an upcoming lab in her organismal biology course and how it highlights what makes UW-Parkside special. An enduring lab Dr. Mossman will be conducting the BIOS-102 lab on April 16 that involves experiments with isopods—more commonly known as roly-polies or pi 11-bugs—regarding their behavior under various conditions. The lab has students place the isopods in what Mossman called "choice-chambers," white blocks with four isopod-sized chambers carved into them that connect at the center. One experiment places an acidic substance in one chamber, a base in another, some water in the third chamber and nothing at all in the last one. The students then observe where the isopods move and infer their environmental preferences. Students must also come up with a hypothesis and experiment of their own for the lab. This lab has been conducted for more than a decade; Professor Mossman said it was "unusual for it to be so successful for so long." Its persistence likely has to with what it teaches students about animal behavior. Mossman claimed that "many students don't know about behavior as long-standing and having this evolutionary perspective." Similar behavior can often be observed across species. Working with living animals is also a rare opportunity for students. Mossman explained that once students move on to their upper-level classes, all the animals they get to work with are already dead.

Fighting for gender neutral bathrooms Rainbow Alliance proposes converting bathrooms to accommodate LGBT students KIARA FOX fox00034@rangers. uwp. edu UW-Parkside currently has three gender-neutral bathrooms which can be found in The Rita, Wyllie Hall and in the Student Center. It can be a hassle for the students to use the bathrooms because it is neither convenient nor accessible. Conflict regarding this issue has been on the rise due to "significant issues within the trans population at UW-Parkside where many people have had instances where other students are telling them that they are in the wrong bathroom and cannot be there," according to Elliot Michael, the Vice President of Rainbow Alliance. Rainbow Alliance Rainbow Alliance is a studentrun organization that welcomes all people. According to Krish Colon, president of the organization, says that Rainbow Alliance is "an organization that exists to advocate and support the LGBTQ students on campus and facilitate activities and events for educational and support purposes." In the past years, they have hosted many events on campus including a bake sale, a drag show, and a trans day remembrance vigil. Potential changes Unlike the family bathrooms that UW-Parkside currently has, the Earth Day Clean-up concludes Green Week Students called to positively impact the community, volunteer their time and "admire the Earth" KIAF1A FOX fox00034@rangers.uwp. edu The Environmental Club and Campus Activities and Engagement are having a Green Week in attempts to bring awareness to environmental issues that affect every student, which will conclude with an Earth Day Clean Up on April 21. Green Week In the past years, there have been events like Hug A Tree Day where students got the chance to hug a person dressed up like a tree. This event will also happen again this semester. Other events include We Heart Clean Water Wednesday, which will include a discussion about the benefits of living near the lake. There will also be a planter event that will give students an opportunity to bring a plant home. According to Autumn Hamilton, who is the chair of the Green Week committee and the President of The Environmental Club, Green Week is "a celebration and [creates] awareness of green related topics. It will bring awareness to local [environmental] topics as well as global ones. Make an impact Earth Day Clean Up will be a chance for students to go out in local communities and make a positive difference. Earth Day Clean Up is one of their biggest events and will mark the end of Green Week. Students will not only be able to physically clean up the Earth, "they will also get the chance to admire the Earth" Hamilton explains. This outdoor volunteering opportunity is unique because students get to interact with the outside world around them. The Environment Club will also be visiting other clubs and students can sign up at these events as well. For further information about Green Week and the Earth Day Clean up, contact Autumn Hamilton at hamil033@rangers.uwp.edu. By coming out to Earth Day Clean Up, students can gain volunteer hours while helping to clean up the environment. They can make a difference in the community while enjoying fresh air and the beauty that nature has to offer. BIOLOGY LAB: Interactive classroom experience The importance of handson learning Hands-on experience like this isopod lab afford students valuable experience with the scientific process and a refreshing change of pace from lectures. Mossman felt that UWParkside does an excellent job in providing students with substantial and useful labs. What she hears "year after year after year is how much "Many students don't know about [animal] behavior as longstanding and having this evolutionary perspective.9> students appreciate the hands-on experience." Labs provide a time for students to slow down and focus on accomplishing a specific task; usually students work in groups to better equip them for work in the professional realm. Mossman emphasized that lab-based instruction is a focus at UW-Parkside and something the school does well. BIOS-102 features a variety of other labs that allow students to discover the differences and similarities among the many different forms of life, though it is not the only class to benefit from lab-based instruction. Mossman said that she feels "a lot of pride in Parkside [because the faculty has] definitely put a lot of energy and resources not just into biology but across our CNHS to keep active, hands-on labs because it is just so important." Not all universities see the benefits of the hands-on approach; however, the professor said that the CNHS has noticed that "at some other schools, to cut costs, they take a course [like organismal biology) and make it a lecture-based course." As labs like Professor Mossman's show, UW-Parkside and its CNHS continue to strive to maintain a focus on hands-on learning and student engagement in the sciences. bathrooms that will be converted will have multiple stalls with the intention of reducing wait time. Rainbow Alliance is hoping that the locations would be more convenient for everyone. Ideally, several more bathrooms on campus could be changed as well. Student opinions The concept of gender-neutral bathrooms comes with many opinions about privacy and safety. Ahmad Qawi, a student, has mixed opinions about converting more bathrooms to gender-neutral ones. He says, "For transgender [people] or people struggling to come out, I feel that [the bathrooms] would be an open place for these individuals to feel comfortable and normal." Qawi likes the idea of adding more bathrooms, but he does not think that just anyone should be able to use these bathrooms. He thinks that problems of rape, invasion of privacy and health issues could arise from adding more gender-neutral bathrooms. Rainbow Alliance has just recently started the process to request these bathrooms. Over the next couple of semesters some big changes could be coming. The process is still in the early stages, and Rainbow Alliance has been drafting letters to send to the Dean of Students that outlines their plans. Student finds internship success Karol Lejmback encourages finding a job in field of interest Karol Lejmback DIANE OSTROWSKI ostro009@rangers. uwp.edu ZACHARY BEYER beyer020@rangers. uwp.edu While initially for medical school graduates, the concept of an internship is now very common across many other academic disciplines. Internships include any official or formal program that provides practical experience in an occupation or profession. Without one, a college experience is no longer considered complete. A transfer student from the College of Lake County in Grayslake, IL, Karol Lejmback, is completing his dual major in computer science and mathematics at University of Wisconsin-Parkside. He was able to achieve success on his first attempt when attending last October's Internship Fair. While Lejmback focused on only one item, the internship fair, it can be beneficial to look at other avenues. Conducting a multipronged approach broadens your reach, which increases the odds in favor of achieving your goal. This could be contacting your department head, or if available, the department internship advisor. Exploring the internship page under the Advising and Career Center is a great starting point and is packed with good content. Following the adage of dressing for success, Lejmback dressed professionally, in a shirt and tie with. dress pants and leather shoes. This presentation reinforced the cool confidence he wanted to project walking from table to table, and that was a good strategy. A contact from the Advising & Career Center shared, "Often, an internship search would mirror the job search graduates often complete." The internship experience can share the struggles found in a professional job search, such as not being able to connect with a solid contact or not finding a good fit between a company and the interested party. But when Lejmback wandered over and started talking with someone at one of the tables, he hit the jackpot. "I just sold myself as best I could,' he said. The person he chatted with turned out to be the CEO. Since the company primarily COURTESY OF ZACHARY BEYER : dual major in math, computer sci. provides software support, and hardware and software solutions for local businesses, their focus aligned well with his. Another tidbit Lejmback shared is to "look for weird places, corporate atmosphere isn't always the norm." When speaking about what he thought qualified him for this position, the first thing that Lejmback mentioned was his experience with running Linux operating systems followed by coding he has done relating to his coursework in computer science. He also felt he was good with clearly explaining tasks, quickly grasping the issue and effectively evaluating possible problems. His experience at Parkside tutoring others was attributed in developing and demonstrating these skills. So, here too Lejmback had an advantage. Having both formal studies and activity outside the classroom to bring to the table is helpful since it usually presents one as a strong candidate. He also says, "Go with a job that interests you." Other advice Lejmback would offer to those looking for internships include highly recommending looking for companies that are interesting as well as not expecting to find something that includes a salary, as his internship is unpaid. However, the lack of payment does not need to limit your opportunity. In this situation, if the position is open upon completion of his internship, they have discussed offering him a contract and should he accept it, the job would then be his.

April 4.2018 THE RANGER NEWS Briefs A moment of silence in Miami RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Students of Florida International University held a moment of silence foi the victims of a pedestrian bridge collapse on March 16. The bridge was newly completed near the campus, but a crack in the bridge caused some safety concerns before the bridge collapsed. Officials met three hours before the tragedy to discuss the crack and concluded that it did not affect the bridge's structural integrity. The 950 ton bridge collapsed over FIU's spring break, falling over cars stopped at a traffic light. It killed six people, ranging in age from 18-60 years old. As a show of solidarity and remembrance for the victims, students held a moment of silence at 1:47pm—which was when the bridge collapsed-on March 19. Chechnya's gay genocide kills hundreds RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu In April 2017, Novaya Gazeta published the first article addressing the gay genocide in Chechnya. Since then, the exact number of victims of the genocide continues to be unknown, but the number could be in the hundreds. When Novaya Gazeta first published their article, over a hundred men had been detained, and at least three were confirmed dead. Those detained were done so on suspicion and were taken by officials to be beaten, starved, shocked and sometimes even killed for their supposed crimes. The murders are believed to be rooted in an old custom of the region called "killing honor", in which someone who has brought shame upon their family is killed to absolve it. Governments worldwide have condemned Chechnya's actions, but the country's authorities responded that there were no gay men in Chechnya, therefore the accusations were false. The Russian LGBT Network has set up a hotline for those who are in danger of being detained and killed. Syria's ongoing conflict calls for response Pre-teens, journalists call for intervention amid social media violence NAOMI DORNFELD dornfO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On March 15, Syria's civil war entered its eight year. With the continued attack on Eastern Ghouta from the Syrian Government and the enduring factions of resistance across the country, there appears to be no end in sight. Amid the conflict, the Syrian people c all upon the world for response. Since its onset in 2011, there have been over 465,000 casualties and over 12 million people displaced from their homes across Syria. Throughout the ongoing conflict, every day citizens have taken to social media to share their experiences and to plead for the world's attention and their aid. Voices of the People Among the many young people utilizing public applications to broadcast statements and events in conflict-zones, two young girls, identifying as @Noor_and_Alaa on Twitter, post regular updates from the besieged enclave they are trapped in. On March 21,12-year-old Noor sent a message to the world: "There is nowhere to go from here, it seems to be the end somehow, If the international community want to save us it is time to do it now. #SaveGhouta #Ghouta #Syria" A freelance photojournalist from Syria by the username @amer_ almohibany posted on March 7, "We are annihilated in every sense of the word, pray for us. #EasternGhouta." Conversation on Campus In consideration of how University of Wisconsin - Parkside students can address this crisis as global citizens, Dr. Kate Gillogly, Geography and Anthropology Department Chair, and Dr. Simon Akindes, Political Science Professor, were invited to shared their views. When asked about what, if anything, could be done, Dr. Akindes shared details of the situation's complexity, admitting that there are limits to how UWParkside students can help Syria. He suggested, "either you advocate for refugees or you organize information sessions where people can talk about it and learn more, less subjected to propaganda of mainstream media." Also aware of the complexities of the Syrian war, Dr. Gillogly shared, "that could be me, fleeing war. Those are nice, ordinary people, and now they're homeless. For Syria, for anything, learn to put yourself in that position. Develop your ability to put yourself in their story. Learn empathy." Options to Engage Although the conflict in Syria appears distant and overwhelmingly complex, there are positive initiatives to participate in, organizations to partner with and opportunities for further education and support. Two possible personal response actions are to advocate for Syrian Refugees and to donate to trustworthy organizations. To support Syrian refugees, email your elected officials and call your U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives: 1 -866-940-2439.Once connected, share your name, city, and state, your support for the U.S. Refugee Resettlement Program and one or two reasons why you welcome refugees. To help with immediate on-the-ground needs in conflict zones donate to an organization like Preemptive Love Coalition, which provides bread and infant formula inside besieged and hard-to-reach areas, maintains a massive emergency kitchen, and sends mobile medical clinics into communities whose hospitals have been destroyed. Lastly, to stay engaged in the plight of the Syrian people, follow the aforementioned youth on Twitter and other social media accounts, and listen in to their stories they tell. Science Night teaches about trauma, growth JOSEPH CANNING canniO01 @rangers. uwp. edu On March 14, Ann Friesema, a professor at UW-Parkside and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Chicago who has worked for 13 years, gave a presentation on posttraumatic growth.

At UW-Parkside, this book is the post-apocalyptic novel "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel, the 2014 Arthur C. Clarke Award recipient. The novel's characters live in a harsh, violent world and must endure much trauma in their lives. Posttraumatic growth is the process of healing and personal change that can occur following a traumatic event. The Ranger News spoke to Friesema after her presentation, and she contrasted posttraumatic growth with the better-known PTSD by saying that "posttraumatic growth is the positive change out of trauma as opposed to PTSD, which is a mental disorder." Research into posttraumatic growth is relatively new, having only been conducted over the last 25 years. Growth through community The presentation discussed various aspects of posttraumatic growth and the scientific community's current understanding of the phenomenon. The perception of personal growth after trauma is subjective, so when individuals were asked by psychologists about how they changed, they answered with a range of different responses. Some patients claimed they experienced increased personal strength, some found a new openness to new possibilities in life, others attained a deeper spirituality, many found a CD s - Vinyl - DTD's Of Kenosha We haiiBHI Turntables We can find anything! greater appreciation for life while others formed closer relationships with friends and family. Universally, community support was an important factor in encouraging posttraumatic growth. Relevant quotes from "Station Eleven" were placed side-by-side with other information in Fries— ema's slides. These quotes were primarily the reflections of the novel's characters, and how their witnessing of the apocalypse changed their views of themselves. Dr. Friesema said the largest parallel that could be drawn from the book regarding posttraumatic growth was "community and connection." In the novel, the main characters roam in a band, and they rely on each other for security and emotional support. Friesema stressed that "so much of healing out of trauma has to do with being connected to other people." Were the band not to exist, the trauma and hardship faced by "Station Eleven"'s characters would likely break them. More to come for Science Night Dr. Friesema wanted to remind readers that traumatic events do not need to result in negative change but "can be a catalyst for growth and development;" she said that "can surprise people." Dr. Friesema is also one the individuals who have been tasked with developing and implementing UW-Parkside's masters program in Clinical Mental Health Counseling which will be first offered in Fall of 2018. She will be teaching courses in trauma, crisis, and the foundations of mental health counselling.

Faithfully adapting interactive entertainment into a passive viewing experience is quite the challenge, since it serves as a less engaging method of delivering a familiar story. March 16 saw the release of "Tomb Raider" as an attempt to tackle the task and quell common criticisms of the genre. The film centers around video game icon Lara Croft, the titular Tomb Raider, as she embarks on an adventure to find her missing father on a mysterious, deserted island. The film does suffer some of the same predictable pitfalls as other adaptations, but Lara Croft's footing is surprisingly stable this time around. A re-imagined character Back in 2001, Angelina Jolie portrayed the original version of Lara Croft: an oversexualized action heroine. In contrast, Alicia Vikander plays the far more serious protagonist of the rebooted Tomb Raider title of 2013 (which, by the way, is amazing), and she does it surprisingly well. Lara Croft portrayed by Alicia Vikander This Lara is a troubled young woman turned hardened survivalist. From her dramatic delivery to her muscular physique to her detailed expressions, Vikander commits.

I wonder what your face looked like when you had me, when I was cleaned to expose fair skin and pale hair in contrast to your ink black strands and natural sun baked skin. I never understood why you maneuvered my hand to the "other" check box away from "Hispanic/Latino." 1 guess I preferred not to specify. I never understood why when I uttered my first Spanish words you never replied. You must have felt relieved when I was enrolled in Kindergarten with other pale faces, articulating accurate English, the Spanish unpracticed flying from my mind. You never noticed how I felt out of place at our own family reunions, how my eyes strayed and daydreamed in the middle of conversations with my family because I could not understand what they were saying. You never knew that I wished I could proudly say "Yo soy Puertoriquena" without fear of being laughed at. And I hate that I can't be mad because you were being a mother, a mother who had experienced the pain of discrimination, I know. But 1 would rather share that pain with you than watch you suffer alone. ~ * in the newest "Tomb Raider" film directed to the convincing performance. Thankfully, director Roar Uthaug is the first of three filmmakers to treat the character like a human being. The camera does not oversexualize Lara Croft. This issue, commonly known as "The Male Gaze," never burdens the film, and that is massively COURTESY OF WARNER BROS by Roar Uthaug. respectable. The film's shortcomings Inevitably, "Tomb Raider" is not as good as the game upon which it is based. Over ten hours of story were crammed into two hours of footage, and it shows. The pacing takes a dip at the end of the second act. Some character motivations do not remain consistent. A few plot points could not hold up to even moderate scrutiny. My biggest criticism of the film was of its villain-Vogel, played by Walton Goggins. Whereas I loved his performances in "Lincoln" and "The Hateful Eight", Goggins mutes his performance here. He looks and sounds bored the entire movie, which is quite disappointing to see from such a skillful actor. A final verdict 2018's "Tomb Raider" is a mixed bag. Despite its flaws, the movie is undoubtedly entertaining. Not only is Alicia Vikander inspiring in the role, but the action throughout the movie is also clever, grounded and gripping. The film is "popcorn" entertainment— pulpy action with a handful of effective character moments sprinkled throughout. Its protagonist is well-realized, and the plot serves up a relatively robust adventure story, which is a miracle for a video game adaptation. On the movie grading scale, "Tomb Raider" gets a "B-" from me. Best 2017 indie game suggestions Recommendations from a rising genre of gaming More excellent and creative stories came from similar indie titles. "Night in the Woods" is a gothic detective narrative with quirky dialogue and a Trends can be oppressive; they edge out unconventional ideas. Risks are often not allowed to flourish. VIA INFINITE FALL, GEARS FOR BREAKFAST, STUDIO MDHR, AND TEAM SALVATO A montage of popular 2017 game characters. TRAVIS NORTHERN explored in AAA titles. north004@rangers.uwp.edu VIA NEXTLEVEL GAMING Many of the world's most popular video game franchises-"Call of Duty", "World of Warcraft", "Assassin's Creed"-are made successful by the financial power of a publisher. These games are called "AAA" (Triple-A) titles, and in 2017, their popularity declined. Many players found themselves tired of the franchises' formulaic designs and money-gouging add-ons. In their failures, the industry spotlight shined on an underappreciated genre: games developed without the support of a publisher. Independent (indie) games are frequently lauded by cult fanbases for their unmitigated creativity. Indie hit after indie hit in 2017 reminded the gaming community that games can be artistic, interesting and just plain fun. Remarkable stories One of my favorite games of 2017 was "Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice", a story-driven action game about a young woman living with psychosis. The hyper-nuanced graphics, the chilling settings and the emotional performances were about as compelling as interactive entertainment can get. The gaflie also has a moving message about mental %ess that is far too bold to be unique, cartoonish aesthetic. One computer game, "Doki Doki Literature Club," even pushed the boundaries of storytelling as a whole. The title starts off as a harmless-looking visual novel, but the plot grows thicker than tar right under the player's nose. I will not spoil the shocking twist, but it is one that will stick with most players long after they have finished its insane experience. Nostalgic gems Indie games also managed to xcel throughout the year by experimenting on tried-and-true designs. "Cuphead" was in NextLevel Gaming's top five favorite games of the year, and with good reason. The 2D platformer charmed audiences around the world with its art style, which resembled 1930's-era hand-drawn animation. In addition, the gameplay was elegant in its simplicity, even if the difficulty was hilariously unreasonable for some levels. Another throwback indie game that was irresistibly fun was "A Hat in Time". The development of this modest project was funded entirely via Kickstarter. Like many crowd-funded products, it could have crashed and burned, but the risk paid off. "A Hat in Time" is phenomenal. It perfectly captures every appeal of the Nintendo Gamecube. It is an essential purchase for game libraries everywhere, and it could even serve as a great introduction to gaming for brand new players. The future of Indies The boom of independent game development in 2017 enriched the overall industry in a major way. The AAA publishing sphere outputs a considerable array of fulfilling entertainment, but there are flaws. Trends can be oppressive; they edge out unconventional ideas. Risks are often not allowed to flourish. Repetition is sometimes favored over deviation. Things can get monotonous in the mainstream sphere of interactive entertainment. I hus, the abundance of indie gems in 2017 was an abundance of quality. The games listed above are absolutely worth the valuable time and money they ask of consumers. One of the titles is even free to play. Last year was excellent for talented, underrated developers, and it will be interesting to see which independent games soar in 2018.

April 4,2018 THE RANGER NEWS "The King's Choice": More engaging than thrilling Two of the most jam-packed days in Norwegian history ROSEMARY SCHWEITZER schwe035@rangers.uwp. edu War movies. I am reasonably sure we can agree that films centermg around the topic of war are rarely cheerful. They might have moments of comedic relief or a heartwarming or uplifting ending but on the whole, an average war' film will at least leave watchers with a single tear threatening to fall. With this in mind, I have not gone to see that many war movies over the years. When I sit in a seat, potentially with some popcorn or candy, I want to laugh and be merry, not weeping openly over men and women who died because someone somewhere got on their high horse and tried to take over the world. However, if I had to watch a war movie for say, I do not know, a film review for "The Ranger News", 1 would not run away screaming. Maybe it is not so bad As it happens, "The King's Choice" was easier to get through than I had hoped. Set in 1940s Norway, the film takes place over the course of roughly three days, and focuses on the decision of King Haakon VII, during that time. At that point in the war, Norway was determined to remain neutral, but Germany was equally determined to overrun and occupy the country. King Haakon and the rest of the royal family flee to a safe farm in the countryside, and thus begins the game of cat and mouse between the Norwegian government and the Germans. No bark, massive bite With a cast of sympathetic and engaging characters, "The King's Choice" does a good job of capturing the attention of its audience The royal family in turmoil in having to and making them invest in the final outcome. Haakon himself is a tall, weary-looking sixty-eightyear- old who looks as though a strong wind could carry him away. The gentle nature with which he speaks to his grandchildren and the young soldiers he comes across throughout the film is refreshing and more human than monarchs are normally portrayed as. This made it a genuine surprise when Haakon's backbone shone through as he defended his country and all the people within it that depended on him. COURTESY OF BERLINALE.DE separate. The King's Choice Awards "The King's Choice" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Film, but the only awards it formally won were from the Norwegian International Film Festival. The film was awarded with best Norwegian film, best music and sound design, best screenplay, visual effects, editing and best supporting actor. If you missed UW Parkside's run of "The King's Choice," the film is available for rent or purchase on YouTube and Amazon. PETLAND PETS MAKE LIFE BETTER.' This Week in History: The pony express Our first modern postmen and their steeds CHANGE OF msr RORY LARSON Iarso066@rangers. uwp. edu Founded on April 3 1860, now nearly 160 years ago, the Pony Express was a short lived business that became the stuff of legends in the wild west. The Pony Express was founded by William Hepburn Russell, Alexander Majors and William Bradford Waddell. These three men came up with a solution to the problem the gold rush in California and other areas of the west had caused-a lack of communication between families that lived across the country from one another. The route began in Missouri and ran over 2,000 miles to California. Before the express began letters took months to travel from the east to the west. The Pony Express cut the time it took for letters to travel down to a mere ten days. The first Pony Express ad read, "WANTED: Young, skinny, wiry fellows, not over eighteen. Must be expert riders, willing to risk death daily. Orphans preferred. Wages: $25 per week. Apply: Central Overland Pony Express Alta Building Montgomery Street". The route The riders of the Pony Express were well known for their bravery and sacrifices made to get their precious cargo from one destination to the next. Even famed American author Mark Twain weighed in on the riders, calling them "swift phantoms of the desert". REDUCED HATKK! Along the route, there were over 190 way stations that riders could stop at to feed and care for or switch out horses when their own become exhausted. These stations were set up every ten to twelve miles and were no small part of the business's short-lived success. One of the most famous riders was an individual by the name of Robert Halsam, who was more commonly known as "Pony Bob". Pony Bob gained his fame for his bravery on one of his routes when he ran straight through the Paiute War around the age of 18 or 19. The uprisings in the area had shut down nearly all the other routes that ran through the territory. Down in history Unfortunately, less than a year and a half after the Pony Express began, it ended. The riders were quickly replaced by the transcontinental telegraph, which sent messages with even more speed than the riders could ever hope to keep ujHvith. Still, due to the Pony Express' short but impactful place in American history, it has gone down as a legend for the ages. Though many of the stories of the Pony Express are mostly myth now, it is still rooted in a real business that revolutionized how mail was delivered to people of the United States. The perils the riders of the express faced crossing the country to deliver their precious cargo cannot be forgotten. CULTURE | 5 Questions about our culture articles?

Community Connections: Stress: Kick it to the curb COURTESY OF ETHAN COSTELLO The Student Health & Counseling Center is located nearTallent Hall. is a normal response, but it becomes KRYSTAL DODGE thorn008@rangers. uwp. edu Being a college student can come with a range of stressors, such as academics, homesickness, parental expectations, social relationships, dating, sex, uncertainty about the future, self-image and finances. Stress a problem when it is chronic. That is when it can start causing mental and physical harm. There are many ways you can try and alleviate some of your stress. There are at least three different types of stress. First is routine stress, and it is related to everyday life. Second is stress brought on by sudden, negative change. Third is traumatic stress that is related to a traumatic event, and it can develop into Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The stress response is natural, and it can even save our lives. However, it becomes an issue when it is chronic, and it can even cause physical symptoms to manifest. Some these symptoms are digestive issues, sleeplessness, headaches, depressed mood, irritability and anger. There are simple steps you can take to help reduce your stress. Eating a healthy diet, getting enough sleep, and exercise are a good start. Relaxation can be facilitated by meditation. yoga, deep breathing, tai chi, and time in nature. Identifying your triggers and trying to limit exposure is important. Stress will always be there, but by learning how to cope and how to reduce it, you limit its effect on you. According the Mayo Clinic, "Exercise in almost any form can act as a stress reliever. Being active can boost your feel-good endorphins and distract you from daily worries." UW-Parkside has many activities sponsored by different organizations on campus to provide a fun way to get that exercise in. There is free membership for full time UW- Parkside students at the Sports and Activity Center (SAC) on campus. The hours are Monday through Thursday 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., Friday 7 a.m. until 7 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., and Sundays 6 p.m. until 9 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters. Now if your stress is becoming chronic, meaning that there are physical symptoms associated with it, and you need help dealing with it there is help for that as well. UW- Parkside has counseling services available to students. Sometimes just talking to someone outside of the situation can be helpful. The Student Health and Counseling Center is located behind Talent hall. The number there is (262) 595-2366. The services are free and confidential to students. Only you can manage your stress and take the action needed to get it under control. As a student at UW- Parkside there are numerous services, activities, and tools available to you. In the words of Bruce Lee, "It is not daily increase, but a daily decrease. Hack away at the inessentials." A generation taking a stand A Message from Nature: Experience the outdoors COURTESY OF FIBONACCI BLUE High schoolers took to the streets in protest of school shootings. ALYSSA GOROSKI gorosO01 @rangers. uwp. edu While high school may not be a pleasant time for most students, it is at least supposed to be memorable. For most people, the clearest memories that come to mind are dances, sporting events and cafeteria squabbles. For others, it is unwarranted and horrific violence. Spurred by memories of students that have passed due to school shootings over the decades and the recent shooting in Parkland, FL, students have begun protesting and pushing for change. Why is it that the generation that has been dubbed the "New Silent Generation" are the ones that are speaking out against such a pressing issue? In a world where older generations often accuse the younger ones of only caring about avocados and smartphones, it is those same avocado-loving generations that are speaking out, and ultimately, walking out. With all of this attention that students are getting, it should make the rest of the country wonder what we are doing to support what we believe in. Students are taking a stand about what they think is important by walking out of classrooms during the school day in protest. Some of them have been personally affected by gun violence, whether they have lost a friend or a family member, and others are walking out because they do not want to be a victim of it. The concept of walking out in protest is spreading to other political ideas as well. Students in California wonder why they could not protest abortion just as others across the country protested other types of violence. This type of political action, while on a small scale to the rest of the world, promotes speculation in young people. It could encourage new, revolutionary ideas that older generations claim that the younger ones do not, and perhaps should not, have. Whether you agree with the various high school students' opinions or not, it is notable to mention the action they are taking. Often times, the intent of making a difference only goes as far as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram newsfeeds that fill up with articles and opinions that one could "like", "heart" or "share", crossing fingers and toes that someday, somehow, it will make a change somewhere. The opinions of a new generation is generally a prickly topic, but when the nation's up-and-coming generation is standing up for what they believe in, whether it be an antigun stance or a pro-life opinion, then there has to be hope for America's future. I suppose the question is, then, if high schoolers are speaking out, then what are you doing to support what you believe in? BRYAN MALEK JR. malek003@rangers. uwp. edu In this day and age, we are constantly bombarded with social media notifications on our phones, tablets and laptops. We seem to always have a screen illuminating our faces and showing the blank expression of disinterest. Sure, we may enjoy seeing pictures of your aunt and her new dog, watching videos of pointless acts, and hours of T.V. shows without commercials or lag-time between episodes, but are we really engaged? Have you ever been so engulfed into your screen that when you look away you feel as misplaced and perplexed as if you were just staring at a wall for hours? Well, you are not alone, because it turns out that you have the same amount of brain activity watching a screen that you do staring at a wall. I have found myself in this predicament, and I have found ways to disconnect from the screen and reconnect with nature. Going outside gives a person a natural feeling of being content and happy. Even if it is an ordinary day with the sun shining and a sky of blue, you could go for a walk or bike ride and find yourself feeling engaged and connected with the world around you. If all you want to do is just sit and relax, go do it outside in a park or in your backyard and I guarantee you'll feel more relaxed than if you sat inside on your computer all day. These are some quick and simple solutions to detach from technology, but I will recommend to do something more fascinating. The United States of America offers some of the most beautiful lands in the world. From mountains to valleys, prairies to forest, there is nothing more astonishing then being engulfed in them. At the moment, every state has places set aside that are dedicated to conserving and preserving the natural beauty for your viewing pleasure. So take a road trip somewhere! Get friends and family together to go camping and hiking; close or far, plan it out and do it. The feeling of hiking up a mountainside or waking up and seeing a quiet pristine lake is sublime. Sometimes just standing and looking into the openness can be enough to feel empowered. The connection between you and the wilderness can only be experienced by being physically present. Disconnect with technology and reconnect with yourself in nature. Bryan Malek Jr. is a senior majoring in liberal studies and is the Public Relations Officer of PEC.

Editorial Desk AUSTIN KRIEGER krieg004@rangers. uwp. edu Religion, in some form or another, has permeated into human existence and culture since the first anatomically modern humans, our ancestors, inhabited the Earth. In its earliest forms, people looked to the stars and celestial bodies to track the seasons and patterns of the world, such as the tides shifting with the moon. This observance translated into characterizing the stars and planets as gods in the heavens. A brief glance at the world history of religion would show a strong progression and evolution of ideas starting from simply looking to the sky. As civilization progressed, so did religion. Different cultures from around the world formed their own beliefs that were rooted in a story told across the planet. In r eligion's infancy, these beliefs gave people what seemed to be the means to physically manipulate the world around them by appeasing higher beings—the stars and planets which seem to look down from heaven. In the twenty-first century, in much the same way, religion allows people to believe that with thought and devotion to a higher being, the world will be changed dramatically. Religion gives hope, security, and social solidarity. Whether or not any part of religion is truly supernatural, the consequences of its communion and their actions are real. If one chooses to be kind and give to others because of what they believe, religious or not, they have made a tangible difference in this world. It does not matter if religion was created by a god or by humans, but it matters what we do with it.

Campus receives its first armed teacher satest classroom on campus, more to follow TRAVIS NORTHERN north004@rangers. uwp. edu In order to protect students from potential attacks on campus, Dr. Winn Chester, an associate professor of music at UW-Parkside, has decided to carry a weapon on his person as he teaches his classes. Curious about the ramifications of arming teachers with firearms, Bearly News contacted Dr. Chester for an interview. Our reporters were permitted to attend his class for a day and ask him questions about his new routine. "I am so thrilled that I am finally able to exercise my right to bear arms at work. It keeps the government from turning Wisconsin into a dystopian police state," he said, polishing his .44 magnum in a room full of college students. A reasonable setup After a notable figure produced a series of official, prestigious and very eloquent tweets, Dr. Chester found himself inspired to obtain a weapon for his workplace. "They made us take hours of classes for protocol and safety," he recaps. "But of course, I did not finish a single page of the homework. Do the instructors not know how busy I am?" Thankfully, the professor is already a highly skilled gunman , even without the instruction. "I shot a raccoon in my backyard once," he said. "I may as well be special forces." Dr. Chester's philosophy is that the next opponent could be hiding just around the corner. Consequently, he is constantly on high alert, ready to end a life in the blink of an eye. As a result, the weapon is always on his desk, staring straight at his class of music majors. A reasonable interaction The music professor has not yet needed to defend himself from an actual attacker, but the presence of the firearm in his classroom does have benefits. Reports show that grades have improved by 200%, and it is easy to see why. Throughout the lecture, students paid extremely close attention to every movement the professor made. Their eyes were wide with excitement, and they were sweating with enthusiasm. At one point, a freshman threateningly reached into her suspicious handbag. With the reflexes of a Bengal tiger, Dr. Chester readied his weapon and prepared for a shootout. Terrified, the student procured a packet of chewing gum with a shaky hand. Dr. Chester was not appeased until she surrendered the Hubba Bubba as reparations for the fright she had caused. His heroism inspires us all.

RUXPIN The staircase leading to freedom. HOLLACE VILLARREAL villa068@rangers. uwp. edu In the hunt for Ranger Bear's true identity, Private Eye T. Ruxpin and this Bearly News reporter spent many nights awake, sifting through archival documents. However, the time had come for us to put research aside and to do some investigation straight at the source. I will not tell you how we got into his den, or indeed if it was legal. We needed answers. Who was Ranger Bear? Where was his child? And for the love of god, why does he sleep in a cave in Petrifying Springs? Following the "Bear Tracks" When we walked into his 1970's furnished home with a thick layer of dust throughout the cave, covering the shag carpet and obscuring all the photographs, we thought we might have hit a dead end. I a dmit that I felt close to giving up. However, T. Ruxpin saw something that I did not. "Bear Tracks," he said, holding up an empty ice cream carton, "he must still live here." This reporter pointed out the footprints we saw as well, leading in a direct path to the basement stairs. The stairs were dark and ominous, and the investigation was almost cancelled right on the spot, but for the sake of our readers and, indeed, for the sake of the truth, we persisted. The basement What we saw in the basement was astonishing and horrifying. All around the dimly lit room were Polaroids. People smiling out through the ages. Under closer Drawing contest! ' "A"; |?

It even seemed to be the same one. "Do their shoulders seem... odd?" T. Ruxpin asked. This reporter looked closer. They were furry. Everyone's shoulders were brown and furry. Bearly News asked if T. Ruxpin thought they might all be Ranger Bear. Such a leading question is generally unacceptable, but T. Ruxpin simply nodded in horror. "But what about their heads?" T. Ruxpin asked. What about the head? We turned to investigate the basement further. As we got deeper the pictures became more recent. "That was the boy that went missing in the woods this fall," T. Ruxpin said, pointing to a photograph. Having run his student victims than answers ID picture through the newspaper several times, this reporter recognized him. Finally, we reached the edge of the basement. In the deepest, darkest corner we saw what looked like a nest. Above it hung the photograph included in this article. "It's Ranger Bear," T. Ruxpin said, "But what... what's in his mouth?" It looked like eyes. A nose. Someone was trapped inside. This reporter was going to suggest something, pure conjecture about the fate of all of the students and a reason why they might be in Ranger Bear, but from behind us there was a noise.

It was anending a conference in Jamaica that helped her to make the connections around migration. * The sex workers did not have to cut through her bullshit, because she didn't have any that was passed against them. * The book was on her doctoral and not "oral" dissertation, which was something she reworked for !8 months after she starred teaching at Parkside. * She did not say the word "pile" to represent a social group comprised of gays, lesbians, and transgendered people. * She bas gathered video-based ethnographic data on Islamic youths and Hip Hop in the Netherlands for another project for the past 3 112 years. I hope this retraction is found satisfactory, and in the future, I will take further steps in verifying my information.

Zac emailed me that he enjoyed The Stranger and had a few story suggestions. ~'m~ot ~at sure zac isn't just a figmentof my unagmation, but if he's real that could put our readership up to 6. Second, this is the last 16 page Ranger and the last issue of the Stranger for the semester. We will be putting out a small 8 page paper next week to finish of the semester events. The Stranger broke into some of the serious sections this week so I can't guarantee that he won't show up next week. I'll write a little more next week with my thoughts on Parkside and my time with the Ranger. Until then, enjoy the lssue.

Justthe topic I have been looking forwardto writing about. Can I ever show myface in public again? Will I be amarked man?My feelings about PMS are likemost of the male populace, and yet Ican be sympathetic to it because Ihave seen different intensities of it.PMS, IRS, KGB, SWF: these arethe kisses of death. They all useacronyms for personal gain.Q.Why does the IRS audit?A.Because they are the IRS.Q.Why does a woman get crankyevery 28 days?A.Because they have PMS.I have seen some women use PMSto get anything they want. Usuallythe man just goes along because hedoesn't want to confront Satan. "Allright, dear. We'll watch Bridges ofMadison County again-instead of thisnew Schwarzenegger flick." And evenif the flow of emotions isn't heavy,she's happy because she got her wayand she used PMS as an excuse.Now, I'm not saying women do.thisall the time, but I don't believe everywoman is innocent of it.Andwomenknow this because it works!!! Jeez, if Ihad a credit for every time I made amidnight run to Taco Bell or BaskinRobbins for my ex, I'd be... well, I'dbe a math major at Parkside.(Granted, pregnancy is far off fromPMS but the same rules applybecause the mood swings are juSt asunpredictable.) And I went, halfasleep with my hair all ratted, halfmy face sliding off-my skull, wearingmy ~weaters and fuzzy slippers. Ibasically looked like your friendly,neighborhood "can I bum a quarter"guy.But is was either that or I wouldn'teven be allowed to drive past a TacoBell without some subtle remarkabout how "SELFISH I WAS!!!"Soladies, if you want things from thebeau, PMS is a great way to gobecause we are all basically suckersand fall for that every time. "What??You have PMS? I am at your serviceyour majesty. Please ... JUST DON'TKILL ME!!!"And, to all the guys who are stillwith me, PMS is a great time to earnsome brownie points! This would be agreat time to have a unique bunch offlowers sent to her at home or work(don't send roses ...anyone one can dothat. They like it when you get cre-ative). Better yet, take her out for aromantic evening of dinner and a car-riage ride, or a cozy evening by thefire, movie and some wine.But this is a really bad time to tellher that you would rather work onyour car than spend time with her. Orworst of all (and if anyone does thisyou are without my sympathies): tellher you've been feeling constrictedand need more space. Ifthat is thecase ...move! Trust me. I know fromexperience. Hide out in Montana orsomething and learn to live likeGrizzly Adams. Youwill never be safefrom her wrath.So once again kids, we come to theend of another "grrrreat!!" column.Any guys who want to tell me howPMS has ruined their lives can e-mailme atmaliks@it.uwp.edu.Any womenwho wanna kill me or tell where I cango with my opinions can e-mail myfriend Paul at thuriot@it.uwp.edu.• Karen DiehlManaging EditorA woman with PMS is muchlike ... well, like ... Hmm. I guessshe's not much like anything·else on Earth. She's generallyunpredictable, but not always.She's sometimes crabby, but notalways. And she usually getsoverly emotional, but notalways. It has been my experi-ence that men are very irritatedby this lack of consistency infemale behavior. All I have tosay on THAT subject is, if youthink it suckswatchingsomeonewith PMS, just try to imaginebeingsomeone with it.Men will whine about our"abuse" of the aggravatingmonthly condition, claiming weuse it as an excuse, or that wemanipulate poor, ovary-deficientcreatures by bullying them withit. Aw. Poor babies. I feel forthem, really.The truth of the matter isthat men areafraidof PMS.No, really. Everything about thecondition bothers them. Everwalk up to a guy and say, "men-struation?" He'll cringe, I guar-antee it. Men don't like thethought of going through exces-sive amounts of emotionalstress, bloating like a water bal-loon and then windin(;' up inexcruciating pain while bleedingprofusely. It sounds far to ickyto be a natural process. So,rather than admit that womenhave good reason to be crabby,they pretend the whole conditionis in our minds.I once had a male friend ofmine tell me, "Youdon't havePMS. Youjustthinkyou havePMS." Boy, was that a mistake.I proceeded to call him nameswhich would get me arrested insome countries and then burstinto tears. The thing which irri-tated me most was knowing thathe's probably not alone in feelingthat way. How many other menthink women are faking PMS toget their own way, but remain. silent to avoid the wrath ofWoman? The answer to thatquestion scares me.What most men don't under-stand is that having PMS isn'tlike having an ordinary bout ofcrabbiness. It's like having youremotional sensors set toOVERKILL. If the person infront of you snaps their gum onan ordinary day, you'd think toyourself, "Man, that's rude. Iwish he'd stop it." However,should he make the mistake ofdoing so on a PMS day, you'dfind yourself picturing your footmeeting the back of his greasylittle head with a loud, satisfy-ing THWACK! as his limp, life-less body fell to the floor. Andthey say PMS isn't an illness ....In closing, I'd like to ask all ofthe penis-endowed members ofthe human race to have pity onthe rest of us. We don't mean tobe irrational crabs every month,we just can't help it. As soon asmen realize that the only thingworse than having PMS is hav-ing PMS with an insensitiveman around, the world will be abetter place.ObservationsEconomic Insecurity?·C. J. Nelsonmarket since it is a truism that "theAmerican electorate votes with its wal-let". Polling data show that the majori-ty of workers are concerned about theirfutures. Cliche or not, the rich do seemto be getting richer and the poor, poorer.A recent Wisconsin survey showed that theaverage hourly wage is $6.00. Articles in theKenosha Newsbemoan the lack of workers insouthern Wisconsin. What the paper does notsay is that the wage in this area is only $4.50 to$6.00 per hour. That wage is simply not enoughto sustain afamily,A large portion of theunemployed in this area have dependents andthis wage is a joke. In Illinois the averagehourly pay (at least from what I have seen) is$6.00 - $9.00.

The facts are clear: no othersystem has ever been able to produce the wide-spread prosperity that capitalism has. This .does not mean that a market- based economy isthe incarnation of heaven on earth; far from it.Today in this and other nations we have thereality of widespread economic insecurity (seePat Buchanan) in what economists call a goodeconomy (see Bill Clinton).Almost daily, radio and television shows talkabout the job market. It being an election yearthe politicians are also talking about the jobresumes, tested close to 400, and interviewed200, all to fill ten job vacancies. If my math iscorrect, your odds of getting a job are one intwenty. Commonly jobs have five to seven, ormore, applicants per opening.Downsizing (using a current buzz word) is notnew. The only difference between the IBM,Xerox, and AT&T managers, and manufacturingworkers is that the latter lost their jobs in thelate 1970's through mid 1980's. Small wonderthat opinion surveys indicate that these work-ers have little sympathy for their white collarbrethren now out of work.The rich are walling themselves off from therest of society like the French noblemen of the17th century.

NelsonQ:What do you call a thousandlawyers at the bottom of LakeMichigan?A: A good start.Q:What is the difference betweena defense lawyer and a convict?A: You might let your daughtermarry a convict."First we kill all the lawyers." -William Shakespeare.As you can tell from the aboveparagraph I hold the legal profes-sion in minimal regard. Ireserve special contempt for triallawyers who I see as being thelowest thing on the moral foodchain. "Gee C. J., that seems atad bit strident," you say. "Notat all," I answer. In fact I intendto validate my position.Consider Leslie Abramson, oneof the lead lawyers for theMenendez brothers. In the broth-ers' first trial she argued that thebrothers had shot their parents,reloaded and shot them somemore because they had beenabused. She got a hung jury. Asmarter judge did not allow thistripe in the second trial. So Ms.Abramson had her defense shrinkchange his notes. The only prob-lem was that those same noteshad been turned over to the pros-ecution in the first trial. The dis-crepancy was found and the doc-tor admitted that he had beenurged to change his notes. Whenquestioned, Ms. Abramson tookthe Fifth. And if this is notenough, the other Menendezlawyers argued that the convic-tion should be thrown out becausethe brothers had not receivedproper legal counsel. That, ladiesand gentlemen, is chutzpah.Alan Dershowicz argues that atrial is not a search for the truth,that guilt or innocence is immate-rial. If that is the case, what is atrial for? Dershowicz states thathe has defended and won anacquittal for "my murder." Inother words, he got a man heknew was guilty off. This is aman who merits respect? If youlisten to him you see a supremelyarrogant man who belittles any-one who would dare to disagreewith him. After all he is a lawyerand therefore smarter than usmere mortals.Defense lawyers rejoice intelling us how bad the justice sys-tem is. I sometimes wonder if,according to them, anyone is everguilty of committing any crime.This morning it was reported thatthe shyster that represents thealleged Unabomber will argue incourt that his client can not get afair trial anywhere in the nationand therefore any charges shouldbe dropped and no othersbrought. That's serving the causeofjustice, is it not?Just once I would like to see ajudge lock up a trial lawyer whobrings a frivolous lawsuit into hiscourt. The problem is that judgesare lawyers themselves. If youneed anymore convincing thatlawyers are an overall waste,then consider that Hillary Clintonand her husband are bothlawyers. Now you know whyReagan was a better President.How toWhine- Jim HendricksonEditor-in-ChiefNot sure how to whine?As a public service, theRangerNewswill help you out.Whining is one of the greatest plea-sures life has to offer. Shakespearesaid, "Aloaf of bread, a jug andwhine, whine, whine."Seriously, whining is the only waysome people express their displeasureto others. Clearly, it is important thatwe know how to deal with whiners intheir own·habitat.Whining as an art form was devel-oped in the late Hellenistic Age.AsRome gobbled up territories in theBalkans, the overrun Greeks said"Did they have to track mud all o~erthe place? At least Alexander theGreat wiped his feet on the matbefore destroying our land's wealthand 'marrying' our best-lookingwomen. Those Romans are justbarbaric!"Since then, soldiers have whinedabout generals, generals have whinedabout politicians, politicians havewhined about other politicians, etc.ad nauseam. Intuitively, whining haschanged the course of human events.Mostly, it has had a deleterious effecton the diplomatic relations of nations.World War II might not have hap-pened if the German people hadwhined just a little less about theVersailles Treaty. Just a thought.Now for the question-and-answer section:Q.What does all this whining gener-ate, other than hot air?A. Whining can be very beneficial ifyou whine about the right things tothe right people.Ifyou pick yourwhines as carefully as you pick yourfriends, you realize that some whinesare appropriate in a finite number ofsituations.Q.Can you give me an example?A. Yes.Q.Today? ..A.

Yes. If Madonna's behavior sur-prises you and specifically harms you,you have every right to whine. Justdon't do it to me.Q.Is it all right to whine that BillClinton takes credit for the goodthings done by the RepublicanCongress?A.Ifyou are Newt Gingrich or one ofthe pod people, yes.Q.Can I whine that my communica-tion teacher just doesn't understandme?A.No.Q.I was totally put out by last week'sRanger Newssaying the story contin-ued on page two when it was reallyon page four.

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.

"The challenge for the university is to design a curticulum that prepares students so when they graduate they will be accomplished in those things.

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.

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.

Tuition Award Program in trouble Series Number The series number of the original collection. UWPAC124 Ranger News Text Any textual data included in the document [ Volume Tuition Award Program in trouble by Brian Matsen Staff Writer reinstated every two years, prior to the university's re-application. "[Students receiving awards] have to be upper class students," Kirk said. She noted that the University did not get a cut in its budget: it was merely turned down for its 1995-97 TAP biennium, Kirk also expressed concern in Thompson's decision to leave TAP out. Using 1995-96 projections, without the TAP program, the University would experience a cut of 1.15% in its rev-enue or an additional $700,000, from cuts already made, in the 1995-97 budget. In a memo from Kirk, she wrote that "we anticipate $269,075 from tuition payments from TAP students in '95-96; $51,261 from segregated fees; and $14,000 in parking fees." She continually noted that TAPis not a reciprocity program and does not place a restraint on Wisconsin students who would want to attend the University. The TAP program would only make available revenue that would not be otherwise. Because Parkside is primarily a commuter institution, it has limits on recruitment markets by how far students are Willing to drive. This recruitment area is bound by its location with Lake Michigan to the east and Illinois the south. Kirk Marilyn Foster Kirk, Assistant Chancellor of University Relations, expressed concern for Governor Thompson's budget released February 14. In Thompson's budget, the re- authorization of the Tuition Award Program (TAP), allowing Parkside to recruit 200 students from northern Illinois at in-state tuition rates, was absent. "It's an extremely important program:' Kirk said. TAP was first introduced in the 1988-89 academic year and has been expressed concern over whether Wisconsin students could fill the enrollment gap created by the loss of TAP students. Also, with a limited 403 oncampus housing spaces and with 98- 99% occupan c rates in housing near the campus, out-of-area .Kirk students Irom other regions of Wisconsin would not have a place near the campus to stay during their enrollment. All members of the southeastern legislative delegation support an amendment to the governor's budget to re-authorize Representative Cloyd Porter, a member of the Joint Finance Committee, has agreed to support TAP in his committee. Senator George Petak has also pledged to help Parkside as much as he can. "We're doing everything we can," said Kirk. For additional information, call the Office of University Relations at 595-2431. Focus on Women The typical welfare woman discussed in workshops by Jim Hendrickson "Poverty is a women's issue," said State Senator Gwendolynne Moore (DMilwaukee).

"It was truly an astonishing grassroots explosion," Nelson recalled. "The people cared, and Earth Day became the first opportunity they ever had to join in a nationwide demonstration to send a big message to the politicians- a message to tell them to wake up and do something." "Earth Day achieved what 1 had hoped for," stated Nelson. "The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for {he environment ... and (to) finally force this issue permanently into the political arena:' In his 14 years at the Wilderness Society, Nelson has focused his efforts on protecting America's national forests, national parks. and other public lands. Recently he has been concentrating on U.S. population issues and sustainability. Gaylord Nelson. former U.S. Senator (0-WJ) and Counselor of The Wilderness Society, will be coming to on Wednesday, March 29, to speak on campus, attend a social hour and possible media event. For 40 years he has been one of the nation's foremost environmental leaders, best known as the founder of Day. He is scheduled to speak in Union 104 at noon.

The Women's History Month theme is "We'll Make Herstory." The focus of Larson's talk was not reserved for women only. This talk. which turned out to be an open discussion, applied to everybody. Larson's purpose was, and still is, to help people learn how to increase the value upon themselves, and increase their ability to be a "shaker and a maker." Most of the audience left that room with a smile and probably felt a little better that day than usual. Besides handing out a series of helpful leaflets, she wrote on the chalkboard a cycle that everyone seems to follow. She recognized that it's not our fault for willfully traveling this negative cycle. We were taught to follow this cycle ever since we were little. "We were taught to be perfect," she said. The scenario that if you didn't get all A's in school, you could have done berter, is an example. The cycle is composed of four sections; "You don't like yourself:' "You don't take car~ of yourself," "You choose negative behaviors," and "You engage in negative thinking." The cycle continues and the person is on a oneway ticket to self-sabotaging his or her future goals and dreams. Larson warned the audience about following this cycle. People should like themselves.

The needle that is used is brand new, sterile, and disposable for each donor. She expressed that it's "100% safe, giving blood." The biggest fear she pressed is the fear of the needle. "lt's that flrsr time that's reaUy difficult," she said. After an initial visit, the person is usually back to donate again. Although Riese was, and still is grateful - "J'd like to thank everyone; students, faculty, and staff who donated blood or helped to make the blood drive a success." - she would have liked to get a better turnout. She said that with "the size of the campus, we should be able to give more ·[blood]." by Brian Matsen On March I, Student Health Services, under the direction of Sandra Riese, director of Health & Counseling Services, sponsored this year's Spring blood drive in Union 104-106. Unfortunately, "compared to last year, we had less [blood]," said Riese. This year the blood drive accumulated 68 pints, compared to last years 72- pint total. Flus and colds could have had some impact on this year's decline, noted Riese. After a conversation about AIDS, she said that the unfounded concern of getting AIDS by giving blood might have been a possibility too. "I don't think it's the biggest fear," she said. "You're The committee will look at issues including economics, education, outlook on the future and role of government in the context of the much-talked-about generation. "If you look at government in the United States, you see committees that cover topics from children to aging," said Rep. Tim Hoven (R-Port Washington) also a co-chair of the committee. "The 18-30 generation often feels left out of the public dialogue, yet they have the greatest stake in what will be happening 10 and 20 years down the road. this committee hopes to give them the voice they need (0 communicate their concerns and views for the future. Members of the Wisconsin Assembly traveled across the state Monday to announce the creation of a legislative committee to take up the issues of today's young adults. The "Generation NEXT' committee is the first of its kind in the nation and will examine the concerns and issues facing 18-30 year-aids and issue a report of its findings as well as recommendations for legislative action. "Wisconsin is on the cutting edge," said Assembly Speaker David Prosser (R-Appleton). "In the first few months of the new Republican majority, we've passed monumental legislation with our eyes trained on a brighter future. With this committee, we're focusing on the most important part of our future- the people who will live it." Rep. Mike Huebsch (R-Onalaska), 30, said this committee, which he will co-chair, will gather information through d.ialogue with the members of the generation. "As a member of this generation, I know how much hype and misconception surrounds it," Huebsch said. "With this committee, we will find out the facts about the group that has been labeled 'Generation X' by others and offer our generation an opportunity to finally define itself in its own words."

Added Lyall, "I know the entire university community, past and present, joins with me in extending our deepest sympathies to John's wife, Roberta, and the Weaver family." UW -Madison Chancellor David Ward praised Weaver, a fellow geographer, saying that: "The value of his leadership during the first years of the UW System cannot be overemphasized. His vision and common sense guided and shaped the new System as it evolved into one of the nation's finest institutions of higher learning. Dr. John Carrier Weaver, the first president of the University of Wisconsin System and the 15th president of the University of Wisconsin, died in his sleep at 2 am March 10 at his home in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. He was 79. . Weaver became president of the University of Wisconsin on January I, 1971, succeeding Dr. Fred Harvey Harrington. Later that year, Weaver led the UW campuses into the merger with the Wisconsin State Universities System, a merger that created the existing UW System. Weaver served as president of the UW System until 1977, when he became a visiting distinguished professor of geography at the University of Southern California (1977-85). He later served as the first executive director of USC's Annenberg Center for Study of the American Experience (1978-81). He was succeeded as president of the UW System by Dr. Edwin Young. UW System President Katharine LyaIl announced Wea ver' s death the same day at the regular meeting of the Board of Regents.

So said Zimmeri Cox at the African-American Career Fair which UW.parkside hosted on March 16. 300 area high school students attended theevent. The purpose of the fair was 10 promote awareness among African- American students about career choices, and education as a primary road to success. Cox came from poverty to become a respected art history professor. He gradUaled from high school in 1939 during the Great Depression. "We werepoor before that though," said Cox. "I remember going to bed hungry." Education advanced him. As a Fulbright scholar, Cox went to Europe to study architecture and an history. "I got my job because I had theeducation and training:' said Cox. RickJones, a Racine-based lawyer, spoke to a small group about his Success. "~e hardest part was having no money in your pocket and seeing other people with fancy cars and ~lothes. They'd get up at noon, do a h~le business, and come play ball WIth you at 6."

Students currently enrolled in University of Wisconsin-Parkside (college or university) should contact Lillian Trager, the Fulbright Program Adviser on campus, located in GR202 or GR335 for brochures, application forms and further information. The deadline for the receipt of applications is Sept IS, 1995. Applications will be reviewed on campus prior to being forwarded to TIE for the October 23, 1995, deadline. station, he says he advanced more quickly than he would have at WTMJ or WISN. "For Gobs in] technical or editing, I recommend going to a twoyear instead of a four-year school, like MATe. It gives the hands-on experience; 4-years give more of the theory. If you want to be a station manager or work for an ABC or NBC affiliate, then you should get your 4- year degree." There were also student panel discussions with students from Carthage, Gateway and UW-Parkside. One Carthage student said there should be more African-Americans going to school. 411 don't see enough of you there," he said. According to Carthage official Carly Drummer, there are currently 78 full time and 13 part time African- American students enrolled at Carthage College. OW Parkside has 250 African- American students out of a total population of 4403. "Keep going until you have it. Once you have it, improve .upon it:' Women, continued womanwho has children." According to Moore, some say that the way to lower taxesis to cut benefits. She finds that a specious argument because"every penny of AFDC [benefits] goes back into the local economy." Moore says when people talk about "welfarequeens," they only make a bad situation worse. Womenon welfare are not climbing out of poverty, she said."The thought that drags women back to poverty is, 'Whyshould I work when others get paid to stay at home?" Andgenerating more minimum wage jobs will not better poorwomen's position. "$4.25 an hour is not a Slart! Half wouldhave to go to childcare," stated Moore. The only wayto improve anything is action. "You gotta get mad!" Mooreexclaimed. "You have to say 'I'm opposed to this!'" Four focus groups offered courses of action to women at the poverty level. One group offered assistance in designingspending plans on a limited income. Another discussedthe impact of the "Contract with America." A thirdgroup shared its experiences in starting over. A fourth lookedat the many different faces of Wisconsin women in poverty. Tedi Winnett offered advice on planning finances on a limited income. "I'm not going to pretend there are any easy answers," said Winnett. "It doesn't matter how much you have, it's how you manage it." For your spending plan, be organized, but keep it simple. "You have to know what you have and where it goes," she advised. Poverty struck Glynda Chapple hard. After her divorce, she had to go to the welfare assistance office. "I did the one thing I thought I'd never do." And she thought others were looking at her and thinking "'What's she doing there?'" But her children needed food, and a roof over their heads. "The lady [at the welfare assistance office] was very nice ... She told me it happens to a lot of women." Summing up her presentation, Chapple said, "I know what it is to have, and I know what it is to not have." An awards presentation ended the day. Six area women were awarded for their service to southeastern Wisconsin: Pauline Mitchell, Wendy Miller, Barb Pinkenstein, Corinne Owens, Jean Mandli, and Vanda Kindermann.

Also. due to the concern over the election committee disorganization, the committee has been reformed. Steve Zieman, the new chairman, is committed to giving all students a fair chance to run for office. So, don't damn them all because of a few. PSGA is one or our few outlets for constructive complaining. They CAN make a di fference. They must use their time and energy for opposing tuition increases and other student concerns. If they don't, they can't help us. Petty partisan bickering certainly DOESN'T help students. And helping students is their mission. kosher. (Adair-Nichols boyfriend was a member of the past election committee.) Adair-Nichols' biography was not printed in the 3/2195 Ranger with the others due to unknown circumstances. These issues necessitate a new election for VP. If you are unconcerned, remember that Jennifer Buchholz was elected to VP last year and succeeded to the presidency. It is important. All of the PSGA elections had the same basic problem: no one knew what was going on, and perhaps some folks who wanted to run never got the chance due to the packets being unavailable, I also am concerned about the level of dirty-dealing and backchat in the past election. Newt Gingrich, a master of the snide comment, has even publicly said, 'I personally do not intend to stay in a politics dominated by smearing and mudslinging-a politics which has all too often been characteristic of recent years in this country.' Mudslinging should have no place at Parkside. The people who engaged in this forgot that their primary mission is to help the students. As for positive notes, welt, Teri Jacobson did get the most votes for PSG A Senator. She was the most qualified person on the ballot (and by Barb Churchill Ranger Columnist Student elections. Are they a waste of time? The Parkside community seems to think that they are. The last batch might have been, because they probably will be invalidated. Several senators didn't get their election packets on time, and proper release forms weren't signed. There are possible problems with both the presidential and vice presidential elections. Tom Richie, presidential candidate, has had attendance problems throughout the past semester. Richie has been censured by PSGA for poor attendance, and has missed meetings at least four times according to records obtained in the PSGA office. Jennifer Buchholz, current PSGA president, is concerned. (However, she will not run against Richie if the elections are invalidated-) What kind of president will he be if he keeps missing meetings? The VP election also is problematical. According (0 outgoing PSGA Senator Deb Cutler, Adair- Nichols started campaigning before she should have. However, Wilda evidently made disparaging remarks about her boyfriend, which wasn't too Author's note: I recently contested this election. If you wish to do the same, you have until Friday, March 24th. There will be a meeting at 11:00 am to discuss contestations. Outrage of the Week: The baseball strike makes me ill.

Moore says when people talk about "welfare queens," they only make a bad situation worse. Women on welfare are not climbing out of poverty , she said. 'The thought that drags women back to poverty is, 'Why should l work when others get paid to stay at home?" And generating more mini mum wage jobs will not better poor women's position.

Tedi Winnett offered advice on planning finances on a limited income. 'Tm not going to pretend there are any easy answers," said Winnett.

Summing up her presentation, Chapple said , "I know what it i to have, and I know what it i to not have." An awards presentation ended the day.

Letter to the Editor Dear Echtor, issues. Let's get real here! Do they understand us ? Do they under tand where we come from ?!? I have to question their decision on this big change. Where is their logic ? As a Peer Advisor for this office, 1 have seen the benefits to the student of UWParkside. I took this job not because of pay, but because I wanted to help the students. My reward will be to see them make it through school with me. One Liberal's Opinion Due to our Governor's budget cuts, our campus had to make bi g reductions. And naturally the first thing our top dogs would go for is minority programs! Meaning "Let's get rid of Office of Multicultural Student Affairs (OMSA)!" Already, other concerned students accompanied me to talk to Assistant Chancellor Gary Grace. He lated that Anthony Brown would be moving to the administrative offices reporting directly to the Chancellor, other OMSA staff would be dispersed lo other duties. Where does that leave the students of color on this campus? PSGA sent student repre sentation to the budget hearings. I ask what did they do? 'othmg! They did not represent us! As a PSGA senator, I asked to auend the meetings, but they had already picked their clique to go . ow the students that benefited from OMSA will have to seek help from people who have not walked in our shoes, nor people who understand the biases we feel. Yes, the rumor says that the decision makers here want the ~hole university to deal with minority I he;::: that Latinos, African, Asian, and Native Americans start to wake up on this campus! Do you students really care or not? We need OMSA to support programs and retention for students of color. I also dispute what will happen to OMSA · future empty offices? I can ee it now, taff from other offices will be fighting over thi empty quarters. These people no doubt don't care the minority students lose out as long as they get their space! If OMSA does get scratched out of our University then the offices should go to the organizer that it houses! After all they are major status, like PASA, Ranger, PSGA, SOC, which all have offices. .

The Parkside community seem to think that they are. The last batch might have been, because they probably will be invalidated. Several senators didn't get their election packet on time, and proper relea e forms weren't signed . There are pos ible problems with both the presidential and vice presidential elections. Tom Richie, presidential candidate , ha had attendance problem throughout the past semester. Richie has been censured by PSGA for poor attendance, and has mi sed meetings at least four times according to records obtained in the PSGA office. Jennifer Buchholz, current PSGA president, is concerned. (However, she will not run against Richie if the elections are invalidated.) What kind of president will he be if he keeps missing meeting ? The VP election also is problematical. According to outgoing PSGA Senator Deb Cutler, Adairichols started campaignmg before she should have . However, Wilda evidently made disparaging remarks about her boyfriend, which wasn't too ko~her. (Adair- ichol boyfriend was a member of the past elect ion committee.) Adair- ichols' biography was not printed in the /'U95 Ranger w i th the other due to unknown circumstances . The. e i ue nece itate a new elecaon for VP. If you are unconcerned. remember that Jennifer Buchholz was elected to VP last year and ucceeded to the presidency . It is important. All of the PSGA elections had th ame basic problem : no one new what w going on, and perhap som folks who v.anted to run never got the chance due to the packet being unavailable. I al o am concerned about the level of dirty-dealing and backchat in the past election. , ewt Gingrich, a master of the sni de comment, ha even publicly aid. ' I per onally do not intend to tay in a politics dominated by smearing and mud tinging-a politics which ha all too often been characteri tic of recent years in thi country.' Mudslingmg should have no place at Parkside. The people who engaged in thi~ forgot that their primary mi ion i to help the students. s for po itive notes, well.

On All My Children, Gloria was still rocking her baby Anna (really just a pillow, but she makes do.) when her mother came in. Mama Helen Marsh is used to getting her word in, and so when Gloria wouldn't stop paying attention to the pillow, Helen snatched it away. Of course, like any mother of a pillow, Gloria had to kill anyone who would take away her baby. If it'5 her mother, well that's just too bad. The wages of sin are death, sayeth Mrs Chandler. Well, the two fought their way down the hall to the court hearing which was deciding whether or not Gloria was competent to stand trial. Helen showed herself to be a wicked one to the court, and Gloria was found to be insane. Adam, Gloria's husband, was quite glad that she was not going to be tried for his attempted murder. Also in Pine Valley, a touching scene of love and loss: Beside Natalie's grave, Trevor saw Laurel. They promised never to see each other again. As they were parting, Jack walked by. (I'm sure he just wanted to how Natalie was doing.) Inspired by their love, Jack told Laurel she was free to make a life with the fashion refugee. Laurel was so happy, she ran to the Dillon home to tell him the news. Jack drank himself to sleep. And Janet imagined Trevor, Laurel, Timmie, and Harold (the dog) down in the well. You remember the well- the. one Janet threw Natalie down in order to marry Trevor. Idon't quite know how she's going to trick them all in the well at the same time, but nuttiness is the mother of invention. Speaking of nutty, on One Life to Live, Todd got idea that his wife Blair might not really be pregnant. Just because she tricked her last rich husband that way, doesn't mean she is trying to trick this rich husband that way. I mean, she didn't know for sure that Todd was Victor's son until after they slept together. And I think the woman actually pregnant. I don't think this storyline can go any other way. Because everyone expects her to he, she's probably telling the truth this time. She had a good thing going with Cord, who is much richer than Todd. Why risk it if you're not pregnant? Ms. Daimler has always been too smart for that. Blair's aunt Dorian is still stuck in the secret room. VikilNikilJean hasn't returned, so she has no food or water. (Thank goodness she still looks fabulous). There is no air circulating. She has no one to talk to (because she didn't think to develop alternate personalities). The. room is getting smaller. Seriously, expect Dorian will soon figure way out of the room. She has already discovered some loose bricks. Expect her to run to the police to confess to killing Victor? Idon't either, but she might tell Clint what Viki/Niki/Jean did to her. Clint has always been very understanding and helpful when Viki struggled with MPD before. Why, he even got Niki to fall in love with him years ago. Since Clint and Viki are destined for one another, expect the recovery process will hasten their reunion. In Salem, Marlena is still hospitalized, and she has those weird glasses, which hide her preternaturally glowing eyes. Stefano's still makirrg a fool of himself about Marlena, and Celeste is not happy about it. .. The devil inside Marlena is probably happy so few of her family members are left in Salem: Roman is gone, Sami is on the run, and Carrie and Austin are searching for her. (Eric didn't even send a Christmas card, but what do you expect from a boy who never visits home?) Like starcrossed lovers, and Austin are distant to one another. She is upset because she found lipstick on his pillow; he is heartbroken because he slept with Sami unknowingly (Remember, she used drugs to make him her sex slave.) and cannot tell Carrie until Sarni releases him from his vow of silence. (Some people can keep their word.) As Brady and Reed look for Sami, Jennifer continues to for Clark, her mother's one-night-stand. This time, Jennifer remembers she has ajob, and her talk-show to put out an on Clark. All Salem be involved in the search. Jennifer could solve this problem a lot quicker, if sbe'djust look in her shower. Clark is there, underneath the Prell and Zest, in the form of her ex-husband Jack. o«; by Mike Schaefer Howdy. I'm ... back. For those of you who don't recognize the byline, I occasionally wrote for the Ranger last year. This year, even with Nick Zahn's begging and pleading, I had decided Ijust didn't have the time. However, after writing a nasty letter to the editor and seeing it in print two weeks ago Iremembered how much fun this is. So ... J'm back. Those of you who knew me personally last year will probably remember that Ispent a lot of time talking about my future with the U of M at Minneapolis, and I know that some of you who have seen me hallprowling here at UWP but haven't had a chance to talk to me have been curious as to what happened (not losing any sleep over it.J should think, hut just wondering). To he honest, I'm not sure myself "what" happened, but Ican write about some of the events that occurred and let you figure it out for your collective selves. Oh, and for those of you who have no idea who I am (I'm nobody, really, just some guy with a keyboard) 1 hope that even without the background information behind my character, you'll still find the following somewhat entertaining and, maybe, even inspiring.

Incidentally, he was a freshman when Elvis was a senior and was in the last class to graduate from Elvis' high school. Also incidentally, he attended many of Elvis' parties (pretty much everyone was invited, Elvis was sooo cool) and the only words The King ever told him were,"Man, you talk too much." Oh, in case you haven't guessed.

Senator Nelson 5 RTs Reol co Review: A Blast From the Past Jit\i H~N~Ri)( by Robby Thompson This week my intentions are to bring something new, but old, into my review. Every so often I will review a 'blast from the past." This means I will review a classic album that is not only great, but one that everyone should have in their collection. Today, with the age of CD's, almost all of the classic albums have been put on CD. Even more recently. the music is being remastered on CD, thus providing even a better sound quality. One such album is Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" It is impossible to mention Jimi Hendrix's name in a sentence without the word "great." In 1967 Hendrix made the world aware, with the release of "Are You Experienced," that he was one of the world's most innovative and greatest guitar players ever born. The album spent an unbelievable 106 weeks on the Billboard charts leveling out at number fi ve. Even today "Are You Experienced?" continues to be a best seller. This is the album that gave us a the unforgettable hits "Purple your Green thumb to the Gtlrden by Barb Cburchill Altetnatlve "'"s\( G"t" Soundgarden really has come a long way in just a few short years. I intend to look at three Soundgarden cassettes, Louder than Love (1989), Badmotorfinger (1991), and Superunknown (1994). Soundgarden is one of the Seattle group of alternative bands. arguably the best known of the group. (One of the others is Alice in Chains.) Louder than Love was one of their first few albums. Chris Cornell. their lead singer. mostly spent his time screaming. The best song on the album is a tune called "Full on Kevin's Mom", in which he laments the end of a friendship because one of Kevin's friends got involved with Kevin's mom. It has odd harmonies and rhythms. but is very listenable, Most of the other songs are quite Haze" and "Foxy Lady." The songs "Fire" and "Hey Joe" are no strangers to the radio waves either. On any given day, on any sort of "rock" station, you are guaranteed to hear at least one or more of these songs, or anyone or more of his other numerous hits. Another good reason to have these classic albums is the fact that there is a lot more outstanding music on the albums that what is played over the radio, or what is rehashed on greatest hits albums. Most of my favorite Hendrix songs usually aren't heard on the radio, or if they are, it's not very often. Besides the popular songs that I have already mentioned, "Are You Experienced" provides many more great songs. "The Wind Cries Mary" is slower, bluesy song that shows off Hendrix's talent of great song writing and his innovative, bluesy guitar style. Less subtle are the rockers "Manic Depression" and "I Don't Live Today." These are songs that compare evenly with his hits "Purple Haze" and "Foxy Lady." They all contain that raunchy groove that Hendrix was capable of pouring out of his Fender reminiscent of 1960's psychedelia, and some just seem to be thrown together just to make an album. However, it's not a bad attempt. Badmotorfinger had several good songs. "Rusty Cage" talks about how a person will get into a rut, but eventually break out of it (and run). It has catchy lyrics and an interesting rhythmic structure. "Outshined" talks about a guy who's really tired, and feels like life has passed him by. As one line in the song puts it. "1'm looking California, but feeling Minnesota." Although pretty monotonous in melody, the song is memorable and exciting due to its rhythmic intensity. "Slaves and Bulldozers" is the third great song. The rhythm is dri ving and relentless, and the point that they seem to be making is that people in relationships really don't communicate all that well, and eventually they will feel, as the song THE JIMI HENDRIX deadly disease that kills within hours of infecting the victim. Outbreak dazzles the viewer with a star studded cast. Aside from Dustin Hoffman it also stars. Morgan Freeman, Rene Russo, Cuba Gooding, Jr., the ruthless Donald Sutherland and Patrick Dempsey. It is directed by Wolfgang Peterson. Like J stated earlier, I wasn't too Strat. Jimi Hendrix's unbelievable guitar style helped revolutionize the guitar styles used today. It is not hard to believe that what he did in 1967 is still being mocked today, decades later. He remains to be one of the most covered artists, both by amateur and professional musicians alike. To the music world "Are You Experienced" is more than an old says, "What's in it for me?" The other songs here mostly seem to depict Soundgarden as flirting with a heavy-metal sound, and aren't as memorable. In Superunknown, Cornell isn't screaming as much, and almost all the songs are excellent "Black Hole Sun" is the one everyone has heard. and "Fell on Black Days" was also widely heard. These songs depict people upset by failed relationships. Nothing they do is right, and they aren't sure why their partner doesn't care anymore. In "Spoonman" and "Mailman", they depict people who aren't recognized by their loveobject, and are doing everything they possibly can to call attention to themselves so they will have a chance at a relationship. In "Superunkncwn" they lament the uncertainty of life. In "My Wave" they take on hypocrisy. In 'The Day I Tried to Live", they depict 1ICairs from the [:rytic Outllreak impressed with what I saw from the previews. When I actually saw Outbreak, I was a believer. I enjoyed the acting especially Donald Sutherland, he is a born villain. Also with Cuba Gooding. Jr., r noticed a bil more maturity and confidence than in some of his previous films. Rene Russo seemed to be played the usual "We're divorced, but I still love you" role. Notice EXPERIENCE record, it is a piece of history that shows off the talent of one great guitar player. This piece of history deserves not to just be reviewed or criticized, but listened to and appreciated.. Ican say it's great, and time has proven its stability, but the only way for you to know is to explore the Jimi Hendrix experience yourself. frustrated people who really don't know what to do to improve their lives. (They have covered this idea before on a song called "Like Suicide" on Badmotorfinger, but this is a little better.) . Superunknown makes a great deal of sense, and is very listenable. Like any great cassette, and there is always something new worth hearing. It is an excellent cassette, because more of the songs on it are tuneful, yet the rhythmic complexity that they showed on earlier recordings is still intact. They keep getting better, and that shows that they are a group with staying power. Soundgarden seems to have its collective finger on the pulse of modem popular music, for it definitely isn't time for sweetness and light. As a composer myself, J am impressed, and as soon as the new CD comes out I'U be lining up for it. Morgan Freeman didn't really have all that big of a role, nothing compared to The Shawshank Redemption. Overall, I am going to have to give this film a green light. It's got almost everything from a minor love story to a helicopter chase.

Every so often I will review a 'blast from the past." This means I will review a classic album that is not only great, but one that everyone should have in their collection. Today, with the age of CD's, almost all of the classic albums have been put on CD. Even more recenlly, the mu ic is being remastered on CD, thus providing even a better sound quality. One such album is Jimi Hendrix's "Are You Experienced?" Haze" and "Foxy Lady." The songs "Fire" and "Hey Joe" are no strangers to the radio waves either. On any given day, on any son of "rock" station, you are guaranteed to hear at least one or more of the e songs, or any one or more of his other numerous hits. Another good reason to have these clas ic albums is lhe fact that there is a lot more outstanding music on the albums that what is played over the radio, or what is rehashed on greatest hits albums. Most of my favorite Hendrix songs usually aren't heard on the radio, or if they are, it's not very often. 5 It is impossible to mention Jimi Hendrix's name in a sentence without the word "great." In 1967 Hendrix made the world aware, with the release of "Are You Experienced," that he was one of the world's most innovative and greatest guitar players ever born. The album spent an unbelievable 106 weeks on the Billboard charts leveling out at number five. Besides the popular songs that I have already mentioned, "Are You Experienced" provides many more great songs.

I intend to look at three Soundgarden cassettes, Louder than Love ( I 989), Badmoto,finger (1991 ), and Superunknown (1994). Soundgarden is one of the Seattle group of alternative bands, arguably the best known of the group. (One of the others is Alice in Chains.) Louder than Love was one of their first few albums. Chris Cornell, their lead singer, mostly pent his time screaming. The best song on the album is a tune called " Full on Kevin's Mom", in which he laments the end of a friendship because one of Kevin' s friends got involved with Kevin' s mom. It has odd harmonies and rhythms, but is very listenabl e . Most of the other songs are quite reminiscent of 1960's psychedelia and some just seem to be thrown together just to make an album. However, it's not a bad attempt. Badmotorftnger had several good songs. "Rusty Cage" talks about how a person will get into a rut, but eventually break out of it (and run). It has catchy lyrics and an interesting rhythmic structure. "Outshined" talks about a guy who's really tired, and feels like life has passed him by.

Soon she discovered lhat "science was something that would hold my inlerest f<r a very long time." As an upcoming May gradulle, Virginia's list of accomplishments at UW-Parkside is staggering. Her perfect academic record caught the attention of the University's Awards and Ceremonies Committee in 1990when Virginia applied f<r scholarships for the first time.

To the Editor: Wrth news of an addition to the Comm Arts parking lot circulating again, once again the opportunity to stick It to the students has arisen, and has been taken. The Faculty Senate has supported the recommendation of the Committee on Campus Environment that '1urther planning and work on the expansion of the Cornroonication Arts parking lot be postponed pending a thorough study of the nature of the demand for parking.· Their rationale is that the Racine/Kenosha area is a "severe ozone nonattainment area" claimed to be worse than any area save Los Angeles, and that adding parking spaces would discourage such practices as riding the bus or car pooUng. But is there possibly another, unstated reason? They claim in their resolution that "no information has been forthcoming regarding any systematic study of parking demand, nor of any alternative remedies." If this is so, how then can they make claims about the environmental impact of the expansion? Or how can they then substantiate their claims that ihere has been nQ demonstrated effort to promote car pooling" or that there has been no evidence regarding •efforts to increase ridership" on the local bus systems? Their entire argument against expansion is the negative environmental impact it would have, yet claim they have no information regarding these issues. How can they know the effect the expansion would have when they don't even know what effect our current amount of vehicles causes now? Furthermore, the suggestion originally came from the Committee on Campus Environment, whose job it is to research this stuff. What I see here is a clear case of somebody (or somebodies) not doing their job, and the students paying for it. Come on, the faculty has I plenty of reserved spaces that are empty: at least let us have enough to fulfill the current parking demand by students. Jason A. Beyer To the Editor One week ago I was prepared to speak out against UWS 17 Revised and any other proposal which would infringe upon a right to free speech. Following an unfortunate and tasteless "prank" occurring on April 1st, I now have an understandIng for the rationale behind such legislation. I still have quarrels with any means proposed in i111>lementing such a policy but at least I have an understanding. The real shame is that a policy such as UWS 17 should ever be needed, much less oonceived, in an institution of higher learning. The very nature of this facility irrc>lies intelligence. The unfortunate "prank" I refer to is of oourse the tasteless attempt at delivering pornographic materials to Chancellor Kaplan. Though not directly oovered under UWS 17, such an act of expression is incredibly childish and points directly towards the rationale which creates infringements such as UWS 17. As strongly as I feel with regard to censorship, be it hate-speech, printed material, or any other expression, I cannot condone such utterty mindless actions. I believe I speak for all members of PSGA as well when I say that this behavior will sirrc:,ly not be tolerated. Steven J.

Even though the Mets have Bobby Bonilla, the Pirates will take the division aown again in 1992. Barry "U.S." Bonds looks to be on pace for his strongest season ever, and Doug Drabek and Zane Smith wilh anchor a strong pitching staff. Jay Bell is the most under-rated shorutop in baseball and Andy Van Slyke and Bonds make lhe Bucs outfield the strongest in the division. The Mets, who have stonger tallent than the Pirates, will just never put it all together. There are always too many distractions to allow Howard Johnson, Booilla, Gooden and Vince Coleman to perform • to par. The Cardinals made a strong showing last season and if their pitchingstaysstrong,theycouldbe there at season's end. Lee Smith, with 51 ~ves last season, won't blow too many late inning leads.

' African refugee problem discussed Marquita Hynes News Writer Are refugees from the New World Order or are they finding relief in the New World Order? Now that theCold War is over, more refugees are being pro- duced. Is the New World Order to blame? The Hom of Africa presentation on April 21 in Molinaro 107discussed thesedif- ficult questions. Dr. Terry Plater, African scholar and professor of urban planningatUW-Milwaukee,gave a two hour lecture and slide pre- sentation, which provided a fuller picture of lbe refugee problem. Allbough the program focused on lbe countries contained wilbin the horn of Africa (Somalia, Ethiopia,lbeSudanand Djibouti), Plater made it clear lbat any per- son in any cpuntry could become a refugee. She hopes that the atrocities occurring in Yugoslavia have made that point clear. "Refugees on television make us feel that they're always going to be like that. So, we then feel that we have no responsibility to them - that we can't help them," said Plater. However, she says, there are solutions 10 the refugee problem. Plater prefers local integration solutions. She believes that an orgaization in Ethiopia, staffed by Ethiopians, does a much better job at integrating refugees back into the country than does an outside organi- zation such as the United Nations. Not all outside help was criti- Ciled, however. UNICEF and Save lbe Children are two groups that she has been impressed with through her research and field work in Africa. The non- governmental agencies, according to Plater, are more personal, know lbe language of the country they are working in, and are deeply com- mutcdtosolving iheproblem. They do not want people to be perma- nent refugees. Refugees are people who flee their homeland due toenvironmen- tal and political reasons. "The real problem is Political and... the just distribution of resources," stressed Plater. Inlcuded in the political rea- sons for refugeeism were: inde- pendent struggles, internal ethnic conflict, class conflict, and inter- elite power struggles. Such com- plex reasons behind the problem are still solvable, believes Plater. Her knowledge of research materi- als dealing with lbe problem and lbe solutions are deLailed and ex- tensive, and she is readily willing to share her expertise wilb lbose who are interested in the subject. The Hom of Africa lecture Continued on Page 2 • Disability Awareness Week closes with lecture and discussion Gregory M. Gauthier News Writer UW-Parks idecompleted this years' Disabilities Awareness Week acti,vities wilb ashortsemi- nar Thursday, describing the Americans With DisabilitiesAct, and a panel discussion on !:riday involving several disabled mem- bers bf lbe KenoshajRacinC'com- munity, a University alumni, and several UW-Parkside employees. Thursday afternoon's lecture on the Americans Wilh Disabi Iities Act was held in the library's second floor Overlook Lounge at3 p.m., and was given byBonnie Peterson, a member of theNatioal Federation of lbe Blind. Peterson, who is visually disabled, was an active panicipant in efforts supporting the passage of ADA leg- islation in Congress in 1989 and 1990. The presenLation, which was given before asmall group ofUW- Parks ide employees and students, focused mainly on the broader is- sues surrounding the act itself, and several of iis most imporLant provi- sions. Pelerson stressed the Act's emphasis on equality of opportu- nity, flexibility incompliance, and it'S foundation based upon com- promise with competing interests, Continued on Page 2 ______________ ------------- I Tns RASGER NEWS, Page 2 General ed requirement changed Continued from Page I "Its secondary purpose is to provide an orientation to the Uni- versity an awareness of services offered a guide to correct con- duct ... an understanding of poli-. cies and procedures." Its third pur- pose is to provide students with skills in "information literacy." Students will learn how to use the library, its resources and its elec- tronic data bases. "This component of theFresh- man Seminar will eventually come to replace the currently used li- brary Workbook," Dudycha states. Another significant change pro- posed by the Task Force is the discontinuation of English 102. " The research paper require- ment is being replaced with em- phasis on research and writing in breadth of knowledge courses and the majors," states the Proposal. Math 102, a general course de- signed for arts and humanities stu- dents will be introduced, as an al- ternative means of satisfying basic computational skills requirements. Dudycha hastens to add that "stu- dents already here will not be ef- fected by these changes." Current students will be ex- pected to fulfill the requirements of the catalogue from the year in which they entered. Asked about how these changes will be imple- mented, Dudycha admits, "There are always so many loose ends to a proposal like this. There are quite a number of items will that will need tobe clari- fied before full irnplementation takes place ... The general Aca- demic Steering Committee will have its work cut out for them." Disability Awareness Week Continued from Page 1 stating that the Act's intent was to "meet each other half way." Sensitive to vocal concerns over some of the legislation's more . controversial provisions, Peterson stated, "Noone isexpected to have all the answers ...there is space to experiment," further pointing out that "neither side is going to be completely satisfied" with the law. When questioned as to why there was a need for ADA, since most of its provisions already ex- isted insome form inother legisla- tion, she responded that ADA helped to organize "all of those elements under one resource," and that ADA provided a more formal process under which cases of dis- crimination could be resoJved. The final event, which oc- curred Friday afternoon in Union 104-106, was apanel of discussion with several members of the KenoshalRacine Disabled Commu- nity. Included among the panelists were a Kenosha businessman and political activist, a dental office secretary, a sales representative, and an accomplished criminal and business attorney. Present in the audience were Dr. William Streeter, Assistant Chancellor, Dale Wheeler, chemistry instructor.and several other University students and employees. Much of the discussion at the meeting was centered on the ac- complishments ofeach panel mern- ber, and how they hadeach learned tocope with and succeed inspite of ttheir disabilities. As phrased by Gerry Miller, the Kenosha attor- ney, "the only handicap is a bad attitude ...a disability does not have to be a handicap." Other points of interest dis- cussed included how other family members learn to cope with dis- abilities and a brief description of how someofthe ADA's new provi- sions would be affecting the Kenosha/Racine area. Soup and bread were served to attendees of the panel discussion, which was organized by Andrea Davis, a member of the college Committee for Disability Aware- ness Week.
