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.

Tiny Turnout for PSGA Elections BY HENRY D. GASKINS Although less than to percent of the UW-Parkside student body voted in the student government elections on April 5 and 6, a clear victory was given to TYson Fettes as he achieved 302 votes from students. In second place was write-in candidate Andrew Scheeler. who received only 64 votes. This year's elections director for PSGA, Michael Scerpella, said he was happy with the turnout and that he thought the elections were run wen. despite his not having any guidance on how to run the election.

GregQf1reguesled that I refrain-from using a tape recorder during the 'interview, so I did not have a'more accurate souro;.:e than m) notes to write the article. If 1 were allowed to tape record the interview, J am sw'c I would have accrued accurate infonnation and this retraction would not be lleccssary. As an Engli~h major with concentration in writing. f am serving my required internship as a reporter for this paper. I have always stressed doing a professional job 011 my multiple contributions I have given to The Ranger News, even when TQriginally. began writing articles for the newspaper back when r was a freshman and sophomore. so jfl wrote an unprofessional pjece, then [am glad to do the professional act of retracting the story. J n my article, Prof. Gregory wished to,note these numerous errors: * She is an assistant professor and not an associate professor. * It wasn't a trip to South America or the Dominican Republic that influenced her topic. 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.

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. The hour-long presentation was a part of the Science Night series of events at the school that features guest-speakers who focus on some interesting topic in science; the event, like all Science Night events, was open to community members as well UW-Parkside students. What is 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.

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.

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?

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.

Contact Ethan Costello, costeOl 2 @ rangers .uwp.edu. 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 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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
