BY NICK HONECK Between 10:30 p.m. on Monday, March 21 and 9 a.m. on Tuesday March 22, more than 500 copies of The Ranger News, March II issue were stolen from newsstands allover campus. Henry D. Gaskins, editorin-chief of The Ranger News, immediately restocked the newsstands with about 300 copies. The following morning all of those copies had disappeared as well. In total, more than 800 copies of that issue were stolen. The Ranger News filed a report with UW-Parkside Police on both incidents. The March 11 issue contained many articles that could be seen as controversial by various groups on campus. The big cover story was on Chancellor Jack Keating's recommended dismissal of tenured professor Dr. Xuo (George) Wang. Also in the issue were articles about the cancelled MTV Invasion, the student government elections, an intense < tOO Words or Less,' and of course, the Police Beat. "Some people don't Eke the news we cover or think that we should only portray . thi~g.s in -a .positive light," said Gaskins. "The Administration wouldn't like the Wang story, I hear PSGA doeso't like how we-report tftings sometimes, or it could just be a student who didn't want their name in the Police Beat." The newspaper staff placed a limited number of papers on the stands during Spring Break, fearing the theft of newspapers.

PAGE 16 Helping Hands Volunteer in Florida during Spring Break 2 The Ranger News April 1,200s -- Letter From The Editor Dear Parksidc, Many have noticed, and I have constantly maintained, that The Ranger News has taken a step up this semester in efforts to become an important, critical, and respected information source on campus. One of the reasons we have become more credible than in the past is our reluctance to print anonymous sources and letters. That said, the following anonymous letter was taped to the door of the newspaper office one morning when I came in during Spring Break: Hunter Thompson was not a Doctor of anything. The Doctor business was the result of paying for a "Doctor of Divinity" degree from the mail order arm of the variously named "Church of the New Truth." He employed the title as a jibe at academics and objective journalists. Nothing more. Since there would be no reason for this to be on the office door other than my last letter, where I gave props to Thompson despite his decision to self destruct, this anonymous letter was probably aimed directly at me. First, I guess I should have made clear that Thompson does not have a Ph. D. in anything, so technically, that means he is not a doctor. By the way, Hank Aaron is not a king, either, although he is known as the King of Homeruns. And while James Brown is known as the Godfather of Soul, this title is not dependent on him actually being a godfather of anyone. Hunter S. Thompson is known, by virtue of nickname, as the Doctor of Journalism or the Good Doctor. Besides that, nobody with a Ph. D. is known as a doctor of anything - they have a doctorate in something. And to say that the title is a jibe at academics and objective journalists is wrong. Thompson considered journalists and academically oriented people as comrades, all in it for the sake of truth, according to commentary on the Criterion Edition DVD of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. He just had his own "Gonzo" way of doing things, being more of a literary journalist than a conventional investigative journalist. Ithink there is also a gross misunderstanding of Thompson's work, where people see it as promoting some kind of underground drug culture. The truth is that Thompson loved madness, and during the middle to late I960s there was madness in every direction. His 1971 classic, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. was <Ianeerie trumpet call over a lost battlefield," according to Thompson, meaning it symbolized the last hurrah to the end of an era when many people who at one point claimed to live for peace, love, and education (or understanding) ultimately committed themselves to an apathetic acceptance. I could go on about the man, but I would trickle out of the scope the anonymous letter presented, and at that point Imight as well do a full-length feature article on my hero, which [ wouldn't do, because our newspaper aims to be specifically relevant to the UW-Parkside community. So, dear anonymous letter writer, thank you for giving me the opportunity to discuss Thompson more in The Ranger News. It is definitely pleasurable for me to do so. Parkside, have a good couple of weeks, and we'll see you again on tax day. Henry D. Gaskins Editor-in-Chief He D. Gaskins EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Eachperson may take one newspaper per issue date.

If a parking permit is only needed for a single semester, studentscan purchase that parking permit for $45. As for studentsliving on campus, the new parking permit will be $90forthe year and $86 for a single semester. In relation to the student average for parking at UW schools for the 2005.2006school year, Uw-Parkside permits will be less thanother UW school by an average of $134. The UW ehool average residence life permit is $182 a year. s . The chief of police of U'W-Parkside, Michael Manion, said. he wants students to know that parking pennitswill be rising about $30 for the 2005 - 2006 school year,andthat student fees are not going to pay for parking as they did this year. The reasoning behind the raise is complicated. "In the 2003 - 2004 school year, parking passeswere sold individually because we were using the SLS student information system," said Marzion. "Then westartedusing the People Soft system in the 2004 - 2005 schoolyear, which doesn't have the resources to simply bill studentswho sign up for permits like before, and while PeopleSoft has a function to be able to perform this task, it is not available yet." The reason permit fees declined for the 2004 - 2005 school year was because Marzion proposed the fee to be distributedthrough SUFAC, the student segregated fees committee.Since SUFAC accepted last year, student fees wentup$63, which entitled each student to a parking pass. Since Marzion didn't have to pay people to advertise, collect the money, and distribute the permits. the charge ~; , - ~ forp~king permits this year declined. This cost may have seemed unnoticeable" because it was included in student fees as part of fulltime tuition. The change for the 2005 - 2006school year is that SUFAC, feeling the pressure of many cost increases, denied the proposition to include the parking permit costs in the segregated fees. Then Manion senta report for the projected costs and Vice Chancellor BillStreeterwent to meet with the CbancellOl~'s Cabinet to -, PSGA Election Update BYHenryGaskins Community members interested in next year's studentbody representation can look to tbe Parkside StudentGovernment Association (PSGA) for results on its annual election for president, vice president, SUFAC allarge, and senate members, held March 30 and 31. PSGApresidential candidates included David Koss fromthe Students Talking About Real Issues (STAR) coalition and Nicholas Michael Ravnikar from the ReVOlution movement. Vice presidential candidates were CbristopherLandgrebe from the STAR coalition and August·MarieWagner-Richardson from the Revolution movement. With the ability to vote for up to 21 candidates for Student senate seats, students only saw II options on the ballot, with additional wlite-in slots. There were two Optionsfor the SUFAC at-large position.

The Ranger News will publish an in-depth analysis of the electio d . . n an the elected candidates in the Apnl 15 Issue. discuss if they should accept or deny the projected costs. The repercussion is that Marzion now has to raise the cost for advertising, selling, and distributing the parking permits. Parking permits are necessary for faculty, staff, and students to pay for since parking lots here are self-funded, meaning there are no state tax dollars in them. "The parking lot only exists because of the money it generates," said Marzion. Having a self-funding parking lot also means the budget can roll over, meaning if the amount they have for one year isn't used they can use it the following year. Tills allows for repairs of the parking lots, extra bus Cost for Parking at UW- Parkside FullYEj!arStudent: $85 Semester Student: $45 Fullyear FacultylStaff: $90 Semester Faculty/ Staff: $45 Reserved space: $225 Residence Life: $98 shuttles and more. This summer there will be repairs in the Communication Arts parking lot to correct the water drainage problem, and repairs to Inner Loop Road will also be paid for out of the parking budget. Another downfall of having SUFAC reject handling the parking permit fees is that thefts and fake passes are likely to grow, according to Marzion. "This year it wasn't a problem because almost everyone had a parking permit," he said. "We distributed about 4,200 permits." Additional projected costs are included because of the increased enforcement that is expected to take place due to thefts and fake permits. Students are also warned by Marzion to park only where they are permitted, because tickets can add up. The average cost of a parking ticket at UW-Parkside is about $27. Parking tickets range from a mere $10 for an expired meter and/or parking in a closed lot up to $75 for parking in a handicapped section without a permit or plates. "I understand and don't mind paying the money, but now it is a hassle because it is one more thing to keep track of:' Gabrielle Duliois, ajuniortransfer theatre major said. "This past year, since it was included, no one had to fuss over it." Marzion suggested that Residence Life students may want to decide how necessary it is for them to have their car on campus. "Once they are aware of the new situation they can take the proper action for themselves," he said. "I don't see this as a big deal because it's kind of how it was my first year here, and the increase in costs are expected from year to year," said Patrick. Liesch, a junior biology major. "I still think it's at a decent level for students to be paying considering many other alternatives." For more information, students, staff, and faculty can contact Chief Marzion at 262-595-2484.

I J OPEN DIALOGUE BYTAL GOLDWATER The Ranger News holds an open dialogue with various administration officials through the course of each semester. For this issue, the following questions were asked to UW-Parkside Associate Provost Gerald M. Greenfield. What do you do at UW-Parkside? "Officially I have the responsibility to do academic programs. undergrad programming, graduate programs. precollege programs, area of education support services, Ialso work with the grant office," Greenfield said. What do you think about the issue of eliminating activity hour next year? Greenfield said, U[ will give you my answer first. [ think we need to get more information." In addition, Greenfield said, "long answer is that university has a facilities planning committee. It is really a committee that oversees all aspect of the university. One of the issues that had come up was scheduling crunch. There are times that students are on campus in large numbers and time when there is just not a great number of students on campus." Furthermore, Greenfield said, " In any event we have been experiencing some difficulties in scheduling classes in particular academic skills classes. By nature small classes that are limited in class size and have to have multiple sections because many students need it." He goes on to say, " In the fall we actually taught a class in Ranger Hall. Also there are some classes in math that need to be taught 5 days a week, and studio arts classes that have three-hour blocks. All of them were suggesting that prime time hours Monday, Wedsday, Friday forbidden for scheduling was not a good thing because it was hurting growth. This is the origin of the issue." Greenfield went on 10 say that there was not going to be a change for the next academic session because the committee was not anywhere near making a suggestion. Associate Provost Gerald M. Greenfield Do you think the summer and winter session are useful for students? Why? Yes, they are useful because it allows students to move towards a degree at a faster pace. Also it allows for course, which would usually not be able to be offered, to be offered. For example a course an American Lit can go to Williamsburg to see whatthey are learning first hand and if it were during a regular semester they would not have that option to have hands on experience.

Spring Break '05: Students Take Their Hammers to Florida BYCHRISTOPHER ROSIN . . .

"Habitatfor Humanity is a good way to help otber people in need and to learnbuilding skills.

They do not just talk about making changes for the belter - they take their hammers, tool belts,and nails and they have fun, too!" said Chris Zanowski, Advisor totheCampus Chapter for Habitat for Humanity. Habitat for Humanity, established in 1976, is a not-far-profit organization whose mission is to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness from theworldand make decent shelter a matter of conscience and action. Eachyear,college students from across the nation participate in the Habitat [or Humanity Collegiate Challenge during the week of Spring Break. According to Luis Paz, president of Habitat for Humanity Club,"The best part of the trip was meeting new people from other placesbecause I think it is a good experience when you get to meet peoplewho are trying to help just like we were. I learned that .. a lot offamil.ies are still in need." "Itis the best feeling in the world to be able to contribute to buildingthe houses," Treasurer Jose Faz added. Through volunteer labor and donations of money and materials,Habitat builds and renovates homes, working with the partnerfamilies to whom they are sold at no profit, and financed with affordable,no interest loans. The mission of the UW-Parkside campus chapterof Habitat for Humanity is to build or rehabilitate houses in partnership with Habitat affiliates and homeowners; educate the campus andlocal community about the need for affordable housing and the workof Habitat for Humanity; and raise funds for the work of Habitat. "We shingled, laid plywood on the roof, put paper around the house andworked at the warehouse. [learned there are many people whowant to offer services, but they cannot all physically build.

For some students at UW-Parkside, these events are more than just news reports; they are a part of everyday life. As the war progresses, soldiers are returning home and settling back into their civilian lives. Some of these soldiers are students at (JW-Parkside. In this three-part series, the experiences of three soldiers deployed overseas will be examined. Every soldier deployed overseas holds a unique position. Some soldiers patrol streets offering protection. some drive trucks to deliver supplies. and some speak with citizens to gather intelligence. One group must provide care for all of these soldiers plus the soldiers fighting against them. The members of a combat support hospital hold an especially important role in the fighting of a war. Kyle Ziegler, a 23-year-old chemistry major and sergeant in the U.S. Army reserves, described his experiences serving in a combat support hospital in Bagram, Afghanistan. Ziegler was deployed for nearly a year with the 452nd Combat Support Hospital. During that time he performed the duties of a medical laboratory specialist. He ran diagnostic tests On blood, urine, and other body fluids. Laboratory specialists are also in charge of running the hospital's blood bank. Ziegler was responsible for typing and cross matching units of blood to be given during surgery to critically wounded patients. The 452nd's realm of care extended to the sick and injured American soldiers, as well as the Afghani soldiers and civilians. Ziegler said most of the Afghan trauma patients they received were in need of leg amputations due to the detonation of land mines. He remembered one of these patients well. On August 16, 2003, Zahida, a 10-year-old Afghani girl, arrived in their emergency department. She was bleeding profusely from her severely injured legs. She had stepped on a land mine and needed both legs amputated. Ziegler took immediate action and arranged for four units of whole blood to be co~lected from soldiers to be given during the surgery. With the surgeon's skill, the nurses' aftercare and Ziegler's quick thinking, Zahida survived the' operation and returned home. Ziegler also recalled the unbearable moments of receiving U.S. casualties. "To see a wounded soldier come into the emergency department was heart breaking every time it happened. Even if you have never met Laboratory personnel of the 452nd Combat Suttort Hospital stand inside their mobile laboratory. that person before in your life, they are wearing the same uniform as you and are fighting for the same thins as you." Ziegler explained how every soldier has an 0 underlying motive of what they're fighting for. "They may be fighting the Taliban hidden in the mountain ranges in Afghanistan, but the fighting I'm taking about is the fight to make it home, to see the loved ones that you left behind, the fight for life." Ziegler won the fight, and returned home safely. After his return, he was surprised by how many people are uninformed about issues concerning the war. "Believe it or not," he said, "there is much good that comes from this war, but you'll never hear about it in the media because it doesn't draw the attention of the viewers." In order to learn the truth, Ziegler stressed the importance of asking someone who has experienced the war first hand. Ziegler said, if asked, he would return to war without a second thought. As a volunteer soldier, Ziegler said he would return to war So no one who hasn't volunteered would have to go. He believes a draft would place volunteer soldiers' lives in danger, and he would do anything to prevent it. Although Ziegler's experience was difficult to handle at times, he remains loyal and satisfied that he has made a difference.

The resolution, written by Senator Michael Duchac and sponsored by Chris Semenas and Joe Duncan, stated, "Whereas the students, both commuter and residential, use this time period as the means to facilitate future career capacities, life decisions, and post graduate education and by creating involved and contributing members of society, both on campus and abroad ... Be it resolved that the PSGA does not support any change to the Activity Hour Policy as it stands on 3-24- OS, and will work unstintingly in opposition to any such attempts to change, manipulate, or eliminate the above said policy." The Academic Policies Committee's discussion of uslog the noon to 1 p.m. block on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for other purposes, such as academic skills courses, would be "detrimental to the university and its students," according to the resolution. The resolution also stated that UW-Parkside would be limiting the potential recruitment of new students becoming engaged in campus activities. This will be voted on April] 9 by theAcademic Policies Committee. PSGA has also looked at prerequisite requirements of the university. The Campus Climate Committee looked at students taking Academic Skills Classes 01010J 5 and English won 01within the first 60 credits. They also looked at the "Nelson Denny" Test, which on the first day 083/085 to see if the students really need to be in the class. This could result in smaller classes. and less of a load for teachers. Mrs. Short is working on appropriateness of the Nelson Denny and finding teachers/rooms. On another note, the U.S. Government declared April as "Sexual Assult Awareness Month," which PSGA and the university will support. There will be activities on campus, such as a candlelight vigil on "Take Back the Night," April 13. T-shirts made by survivors of sexual abuse will be displayed on campus and can be obtained at the Women's Center. A Time to Advance BY TYRAN SAFFOLD JR. For some students, the moment they've been waiting for since entering college is quickly approaching - graduation. Graduating students begin counting down their days until departure as soon as the semester starts. Excitement about graduation often over-shadows the nervousness that comes with it, a nervousness that the vast majority of students have before they walk across the stage. Students are nervous about starting their life over in unfamiliar cities and states, being on their own, and basically, getting their life started in the real world. But college was made to prepare students for their journey into the real world, and it is in their best interest to take advantage of the opportunities it provides. There are various signs on walls urging students to join different organizations and get involved. Students may find it in their best interest to take advantage of these different opportunities. Many students will attribute their readiness for graduation to various positions and activities they held during their college years. Whether it is taking a leadership position in an organization, volunteering, or simply choosing the right courses to take, what a student does in college can determine who hires him or her after he or she graduates. Arguably, the most valuable aspect of college life is landing an internship. "Experience is the biggest Jo-Ann Goodyear determiner offuture employment," saidJo- Director of the Career Center Ann Goodyear, the director of the Career Center. "We (the Career Center) highly encourage internships, volunteering, and relevant part-time jobs while in college." Internships may not be as important for first and second year students as they are for third, fourth, or fifth year students, but if you can obtain one early in your college career, you will be gaining valuable experience for a future job in your desired profession. The nervousness that graduating students feel is normal and unavoidable, but there are ways to cope with it. Besides getting involved and landing internships while in college, students have to set aside time while in school to begin job searches. "You have to take small steps in the direction you want to go," said Goodyear. It would be too stressful and time consuming to wait until after graduation to begin searching for jobs. The Internet is a great medium to use to get out and search for jobs. but as Mrs. Goodyear put it, "you cannot just put your application on monster and sit around and wait for something to happen." You have to be an "active jobseeker" in order to get what you want. There are more than a million and a half students that graduate each spring, so there will be a lot of competition for jobs. Many students will graduate with the expectance of landing a job the next week. and these same students find themselves stressing out when they realize that their dream is very unlikely. "It may take some time (finding a job). so to expect to have a job "You cannot just put your application on monster and sit around and waitfor something to happen. " when you graduate is very unrealistic" says Goodyear. There are instances where students have perfect timing and a spot opens up for them as soon as they graduate, or they know somebody that knows someone who will make their job search a little easier. But the majority of graduates have found out that they cannot bank your future on these hopes and dreams. The job market is tough, and graduates have to stay persistent and determined to get the job they want. The key here is patience and the belief that a degree will payoff. When the door finally opens up and you land that interview you have been waiting for, it's time to impress. In an interview, the first impression means everything so fell as, it's time to bring out the business suits, and ladies, this is not the time to show off your body in hopes for having a male interviewer. This is your time to show off the intelligent mind you developed while in school. Resumes are what determine whether or not you get called in for an interview, so the purpose for a resume if for you to "sell yourself." Many students don't know what should and should not be in a resume. and if you don't know exactly what you want your job description to be, now is the time to go to the Career Center for sound help and advice. "Anernployerwantssomeone who is focused, who has what they need. and will improve their bottom line." says Goodyear. "You have to be as familiar as you can be with an employer, the job area, what is typical there, and make sure that you represent yourself as a wonderfully qualified candidate using school, projects. activities, or whatever it is to create this great impression of yourself." The fears that students have are not only academic. There is a social aspect with these feelings as well. Students hold fears that they will lose contact with friends they have made while in college. While it is strictly up to the students to keep in contact with each other, technology has made it that much easier to do so. Thanks to e-mail, telephones, two-way pagers. and a variety of other items, it is virtually impossible to completely lose contact with someone, especially someone who is considered a friend. Since many students will be moving to different states and cities to start the rest of their lives, keeping in touch will take some effort on both parts, but it can be done. Keeping in touch is one issue, but making new friends is a brand new one. The first 15 plus years of school have been structured for most students. We didn't have to look too hard to find friends because they were already in our neighborhoods, or at our schools. But after graduation, you have to reverse your way of thinking. Instead of letting someone else structure your life you have to structure it yourself. We have to get outside of our comfort zone, make new friends, and begin building our lives as adults. It seems scary at first. but since college has allowed us to strengthen our wings, there's no reason to be afraid to fly. The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of Living On Campus BYERIKA BOUTROS "I live on campus because a commute from Maine would be a real pain in the ass, and 1didn't have a car when I first came here," said senior sociology major Ben Shorey, who lives in the apartments and attends UW-Parkside on an athletic scholarship. Currently about 900 students live on campus here at UW-Parkside. Students have the option to live in an apartment or dorm room. These living spaces have limited single rooms and most residents have at least one roommate. The apartments consist of four bedrooms (one single room), two bathrooms, a living roomand a kitchen. and there are seven people in each apartment. "I definitely prefer apartment style living because I can make waffles at three in the morning in my underwear," said sophomore art major Patience Hank. Freshman chemistry major Dave Columb said, "1 like the apartments better as far as privacy, but the dorms are great too because all of my friends are in a closer vicinity." The apartments cost between $1,410 and$1,845 (depending on room size) per semester and the dorms cost between $1,300 and$1,890 (depending on number of roommates).' Students who live on campus are required to purchase a meal plan, although theoperating hours of Wyllie Market and Parks ide Cafe are limited. "My least favorite thingabout living on campus is the lack of places to buy food on the weekends, and the fOOdthat isn't junk is very minirnal.t'said Shorey. According to various students, these are the top 10pros and cons to living on campus: PROS: I. Save money on gas 2. You can get away from parents. 3. Meet new people easily. 4. No monthly rent payments to worry about. 5. Free internet and cable televison, 6. It's easier to get to class on time. 7. The option of a dorm or apartment. 8. There's always someone close by to get advice from. 9. It's easy to find a study buddy. 10. It minimizes drunk driving. CONS: I.The food, or lack thereof. 2. No pets allowed (except fish). 3. Bad roommate(s). 4. Hard to find silence. 5. Problems with the police (underage drinking tickets tends to be very common). 6. It's not worth the price. 7. Roommate(s) eat your food. 8. You don't always get to pick who you live with. 9. Sharing bathrooms with multiple people can be diffucult. 10. Dividing up cleaning responsibilities can also be difficult. 8 The Ranger News April 1, 2005 The' A to Z' on Social Security BY ANDREW KRUPP On August 14, 1935, President Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act bill into law. This government program originall y paid retirement benefits to the primary worker. Over time, various changes in the program has made Social Security what it is today. These changes added survivors benefits, benefits for the retiree's spouse, and disability benefits. Social Security is funded by employers and workers who pay a part of their income toward Social Security through taxes. This money is distributed to people as benefits based on how many Social Security Credits earned throughout a person's work history. Work history is used to determine a person's eligibility for retirement or disability benefits or your family's eligibility for survivor's benefits when one dies. The idea behind Social Security is that the current of workers pay into the system. This money pays for the benefits of retirees and all others who apply for social security. When today's workers retire, the next generation of workers supports the retirees. Recently, however, there has been growing concern about how long social security will last. According to www.whitehouse. gov, in 1950 there were sixteen workers for every beneficiary of Social Security. Today there are only 3.3 workers per beneficiary. As today's "baby boomers" begin to retire, the ratio of workers to beneficiaries will decrease quickJy, which will leave no one to pay for Social Security's benefits, and this has caused much Concern in the top levels of congress. STUDENT ORG. BEAT - Bush said Social Security, on its current path, is "headed toward bankruptcy," and he urged Congress to «pass reforms that solve the financial problems of Social Security once and for all." Bush also said, 'We must make Social Security permanently sound, not leave that task for another day." There is, however, no clear cut way the president plans to fix the problem as of yet. However, according to the president, any plan that is created will not increase taxes and will be based more on a system of private accounts that workers could put their money into, rather than having a program funded solely on taxes. These personal accounts would be entirely voluntary and the money put into them would "go into a conservative mix of bond and stock funds that would have the opportunity to earn a higher rate of return than anything the current system could provide," according to Bush. The idea is that workers, could put money away for their future and create a "nest egg" which would supplement a worker's traditional social security check upon retirement. This plan sounds effective, but is it? Many people around the country will tell you a different story on how well Busb's plan will benefit America. In a Special Report entitled Social Security A Daring Leap in the February 14'" article of magazine Newsweek, it states "Shifting to private accounts, under Bush's plan, would lead to massive borrowing by the federal government, adding to our already huge deficits." The government would have to borrow money in order to pay for the losses of income that would go into private accounts instead of paying for retiree's benefits. There is also a concern about potential cuts in Social Security benefits to retirees that SOme believe may happen under Bush's plan. In a Democratic response to the state of the Union Address, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said Bush's plan was dangerous and would lead to benefit cuts for retirees. "There's a lot we can do to improve Americans' retirement security," said Reid, "but it's wrong to replace the guaranteed benefit that Americans have earned with a guaranteed benefit cut of up to 40 percent," he said. "Make no mistake, that's exactly what President Bush is proposing." There is also an ideological battle being fought over what the purpose of Social Security is. One side sees social security as a potential investment. By putting money that would originally be going toward Social Security into pri vate accounts, interest earned on these accounts would increase wealth over time. The other side sees Social Security as a safety net for retirees and their families in our society, which is the aim of our present Social Security system. "It's a social program," said Democratic Senator of New Jersey, Jon Corzine, "not an investment program. Wall Street should keep their hands off it." There are obvious differences in opinion on how Social Security should be fixed. However, both sides agree that Social Security is an effective and necessary program that has served our society for generations and must continue to serve generations to come. This Issue: The Women's Center BY NATHANIAL BRYAR The UW-Parkside Women', Center was established in the fall of 1989 to provide a safe place for all women on campus to receive support and information. The Women's Center has recently finished up with an event called "Making Her Mark." This event recognizes woman students and female staff members who made a mark in the lives of women on campus. The students wrote on how these various women affected their lives, which was signed by the dean and presented to the various nominees. The Women's Center is involved in events that highlight issues that effect more than just the women on campus. "Divas closet," for example, was an event to collect slightly-worn dresses and other formal wear that is donated to a women's shelter, which gives the clothing out to women who can't afford to dress in the kind of expensive, formal clothing that is required to get the jobs that they really deserve. This has had a real impact on the lives of women trying to find ajob and get out of the various women's shelters and be on their Own. The Women's Center is currently involved in the "Clothes Line Project" which is a nation-wide event. It lets people who have been abused physically, mentally or sexually design a shirt that tells their different stories. This is done in the hope that women will feel like there are other people out there so that they know that they are not the only ones. It's also a way that women can show unity and support for one another. Once the event is done. the Women's Center will hang the shirts up on the wall for everyone to see. This takes place the last Wednesday of March. Take Back the Night, another event that the Women's Center is sponsoring is on April 13. This event is geared toward letting women know that they don't have to be afraid to go out on campus at night. There will be woman speakers present that wiII be gi ving speeches geared toward the event. The Women's Center is looking for book donations specifically on women's issues, poetry and anything that deals wiLh women in general. If you need to contact the Women's Center because of abuse or just because your interested in joining and helping out with different Women's issues, you can use extension 2170 or just walk over to the Women's Center where they wiII be able to direct you.

Professors should not be di . sed aaainst the wishes of the student body." Is-ntIS 0 To accomplish their goal the Revolution is trying to change the Wisconsin State Constitution,section 36.09(5). This section states, "The students of each institution orcampus subject to the responsibilities and powers of the board, the president, the chancellor,and the faculty shall be active participants in the immediate governance of and policy development for such institutions." The section goes on to state that the studentswill have the responsibility for student life, services and interests, student fees, and a right to organize. Section 36.09(5) does not mention anything about decisions on faculty arrangements and student involvement. This is what the Revolution would like to have changed. "That's where members of the Revolution believe that the Chancellor is able 10 still dismiss George Wang despite PSGA's resolution last semester," said Ravnikar. The petition was started all March 21 and there seems to be mixed reactions from students. "Some people read it and don't necessarily understand what the language of it meansor the implications in terms of the state constitution," said Ravnikar. However, by March 24 the Revolution had gained at least 100 signatures. The petition is currently being circulated throughout UW-Parkside. "The petition will have to extend beyond Parkside on a state wide level," said Ravnikar, "There is going to be a United Council meeting next year and regardless of how the election turns outI will be bringing the petition." The Revolution will also be contacting groups that are similar to themselves and presenting the petition to them. They know of similar groups at Madison, Milwaukee and Green Bay Universities as well as others. These groups wiJl be approached along withgroups such as the Young Democrats and Conservatives in the UW Universities withthe hopes that support can be gained across the state. Ravnikars belief is that local media such as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel have done a good job of covering the students support for situations like George Wang's dismissal. Local media has, however, missed the real issue which is the fact that he is being dismissed against the consent of a majority of the student body, and that there was student representation taken into consideration. Although the Revolution was created before any of [he members were made aware of the Wang dismissal it did have an effect on the petition itself. "Dr. Wang's dismissal played a very big role for myself and a number of other students in terms of eviscerating the unequal distribution of power in the university," said Ravnikar. COnti,luedfrom cover story Although the event was advertised as a bake sale and promoted as a celebration of traditional marriage, members of Rainbow Alliance said the literature being passed around by The Young Conservatives was clearly anti-gay marriage. One document stated "The health risks of gay sex" according to a 1978 study advenised on catholiceducation.org. Another handout written by journalist Robert H. Knight stated "Givins non-marital relationships the same status as marriage does not expand the definition of marriage; it destroys it." Knight was one of the leading draftsmen for the Defense of Marriage Act, a bill that was signed into law by Bill Clinton in September of 1996, which specifically defines marriage as "Only a legal union between one man and one woman as husband and wife." Knight's brochure also stated that "As society rewards homosexual behavior, more Youngpeople will be encouraged to experiment and more will be discouraged from Overcoming homosexual desires."

"We want to know why this happened,"saidGaskins,emphasizing that who did it was less relevant. "What was the thing that made someone take them (the papers)?" The Ranger News prints 2,500 copies of every issue. This theft should be a big deal to the student body for many reasons, according to Gaskins. "Not only are these people stealing from students who pay for the newspaper through student fees, but they are stealing from our staff, who works hard to produce every issue for the community," said Gaskins. "The first issue is free on a first come, first serve basis, but if you want more than one issue, they are $1 a piece," said Gaskins. "If someone wants two or three issues, we wont make a big deal about it. But 500 is out of the question." It is mention of extra newspapers costing $1, which is contained on page two of every paper that makes this theft into a crime where the person who stole the issues could be held responsible in a COUlt of law and suffer whatever penalties are prescribed to this situation. Unlimited free issues are available to staff and faculty for academic use in classes, and those interested are encouraged to get in touch with The Ranger News staff (rangernews@uwp.edu). There are about 100 copies left of the controversial March II issue. Any student interested in picking one up is encouraged to come to The Ranger News office, Wyllie D139C, for one free copy.

Bickering such as this only serves to divide us as students & people- -a division that forces us to neglect our responsibilities for the future improvement of our collective lot. Individual gain based purely on hegemonic or marginal interests is contrary to democracy--rather, let us focus on our collective interests, ensuring that power is distributed equally among the people so as not to be abused. --Nicholas Michael Ravnikar The Revolution Tal Goldwater, a news page editor for The Ranger News, was the leading staff member who fought to exploit students' privacy by having their names placed in the Police Beat.

Icould hear this group's words over the conversation of people in the entire area. Do they care that they are being heard over other people in the room?

The latter is what I would t f what'l t'Racism" b . argue-- but a symp am 0 w a. acism may e too quick and easy a diagnosis. Perhapsthe problem runs much deeper. Now, I should make it plain here that I don't feel pe tent to issue some sort of definitive pathological report on the condition of the com nation'suniversities. But one thing is certain: something is seriously amiss. Look at the sheerviciousness of the backlash against Professor Ward Churchill of the University of Colorado.The powers-that-be allover the country have managed to produce a climate of fear on university campuses by casting aspersions on the "integrity" of anyone who dares to challenge their dogmas. Post 9111, administrations everywhere feel newly emboldened to corne down heavily on anyone who may pose an awkward challenge to theircomforting certitudes. There is an alarming increase in "touchiness" toward any expression of dissent - and a new ruthlessness as the way to deal with "troublemakers." The question I would like to pos~ to the university community is tbe following: is this an appropriateatmosphere to foster on an educational campus? Why and how have things degenerated to this extent? Can we hope to start an all-encompassing dialogue on this vitalquestion - a dialogue that involves students, community, staff, legislators, etc. to beginto address the problem? To help initiate such a dialogue, I am willing to offer a provisional diagnosis; in all modesty,I propose the following: THAT THE UNIVERSITY AS AN INSTITUTION (HERE AND ELSEWHERE IN THE COUNTRY) HAS TURNED INTO A SELFPROPAGATINGBUREAUCRATlC MACHINE WHOSE PURPOSES HAVE BECOME INIMICALTO THE CAUSE OF EDUCATION. The bureaucracies have become ends untothemselves. Any question posed to the bureaucracy elicits only one kind of response: a torrent of legalisms. It has become impossible to engage the bureaucracy on any substantivematter. Any questioning of what it does is treated as a threat to its authority. The response is identical from the institutions of faculty governance. What then is one to dounderconditions of such stasis? Unfortunately. after many futile efforts at raising these issuesover the years with the university administration, r have been forced to arrive at the conclusionthat it is highly unlikely that any solution will emerge from within the very institutionsresponsible for the prevailing inertia. This can only mean that the impetus for changemust come from outside: students. facuJty, community. Otherwise we'll continue to see the crustiness, the intolerance, the parochialism. of the bureaucracy harden more andmore. These are obviously matters that ought to be debated extensively, but no such discussion is possible if we all get increasingly "touchy" about our dearly held beliefs beingsubjected to any form of questioning. I have a very modest proposal to put before the campus community for us to get started.There is the ongoing matter of Sociology professor George Wang's dismissal aboutwhich students have rallied, allegations of racism have been made, unfavorable mediareports have appeared, aU of which have brought the name of the university into considerable disrepute in the community. In spite of all this, botb administration and faculty governance continue to pretend that this is purely a "personnel matter" to be settledthrough the usual legalistic channels; having served on bodies that faculty can "appeal"their cases to under such circumstances, I can say with some assurance that even though they appear neutral on paper, such bodies cannot in practice be relied upon to give the substance of the matter <as opposed to the pure legalistic form) anything resembling a fail' hearing. I have recently made a number of appeals using the forum of governance e-mail to my faculty colleagues regarding Professor Wang -- hut to no avail. The bureaucracy always has the same standard response: it is a "personnel matter" and must not be debated in public forums. But what if the legal channels of the university are infected with the same systematic bias? Could one then not be pardoned for wondering if Professor Wang's different ethnicity may work against him? OK, perhaps "racism" is too strong a charge to make. But let's also remember that "racism" doesn't work in the old Jim-Crow way anymore. It goes under all kinds of other polite labels; what remains common, though, is that the powers-that-be can count on a hidden consensus among "regular folks" that so-and-so is a "trouble-maker", "weird". "out-of-line" etc. THAT IS EXACTLY HOW RACISM WORKS TODAY. So, are we dealing with out-and-out racism in the case of Professor Wang? Of course not. Is it outrageous to suggest that there is an undercurrent of racism in the treatment meted out to an uppity Chinese immigrant professor who has mounted a challenge to the institution? I don't think so. But however we choose to interpret the general apathy to Professor Wang's predicament (with the stellar exception of the students who have rallied to his defense), 1 have a modest proposal to resolve the present deadlock. It is quite common in the business world that when there are industrial disputes that don't admit of easy resolution, external mediation is sought before proceeding to such drastic steps as dismissal or litigation. There is a long tradition of this in the labor-relations literature with well-established procedures for arbitration. The first thing that strikes a business faculty member like myself is that this obvious step was by-passed altogether for no good reason. Let me stress that it's important that such mediation take place by DISINTERESTED parties, and not by those internal to the organization with axes to grind. If we are indeed genuinely interested in combating racism -and not with mouthing meaningless slogans about "diversity" - then J propose that this campus take a first step in that direction by seeking external mediation to resolve the dispute concern.ing Professor Wang. I would further suggest that the initiative for this come from some of the WffiTE members of the faculty and the administration. Professor Wang is an asset to this campus, as even a cursory glance at his vita will establish. We all know that an understanding of China will be increasingly important for all in the coming century - certainly for faculty like me in Business. Although we have a number of Chinese faculty members on campus with expertise in a number of different areas, Professor Wang is the only one who conducts active research on China, the only one who has organized study tours to China. tbe only one who has on-going relationships with major Chinese universities, the only one who has secured a large number of funded grants on China. None of these academic contributions appears to count for anything in the charges brought against Professor Wang; the administration seems perfectly willing to sacrifice the only person on the faculty with academic expertise on China and jeopardize the entire reputation of the university, all to make the point as to just who is boss around here. It is an utterly short-sighted step unbecoming of those who claim to uphold the values of education against those of bureaucratic propagation. It is my sincere hope that this appeal will not go unheeded by the campus community. Sincerely, Roby Rajan Professor of Business , '\ I Can you create comics? Do you want them published?

This new club on the UWParkside campus will face the challenges of being a new club while also training for, and playing, one of the most physical and exerting sports around. The unofficial coach of this new team is Maren Kirkegaard, who has played rugby now for about seven years in places such as Iowa, Minneapolis, and Chicago. Kirkegaard is the one who is getting the women ready for the challenges of the rugby pitch, or field, by training and recruiting members along with other members of the ream, Although there has been a men's team at Uw-Parkside for many years, this is a new concept for the women on campus. "This is a second auempr at having a women's rugby team," said Kirkegaard, who believes that the club's attempt will be successful. "I'm really excited that a lot of our players are freshman and sophomores, which means that after having their first season of rugby they sti II have three more years, six more seasons to help out with recruiting and get bigger and better in rugby." The women's team is an organizational club at UW-Parkside. This means that they are not a varsity team and are able to accept members that do not actually attend the university. The majority of members must be students of the university. Currently only three ... members of the team are not full time UW-Parkside students, according to Kirkegaard. The biggest hurdle that the learn has faced has been obtaining funding. Since the te~ is considered a club rather than a varsity team, they receive minimal funding from the university and student fees. This means that they have h d . a to rely on club dues, fundraising, and sponsorship to buy equipment, pay for expenses, and buy jerseys TI' . . 11 Syear they WIll have to use the men's old' Jerseys due to a shortage of funds. Some of these Jerseys are completely Lorn and not even wearable. Recruiting for the team has b . een very Important.

According to Kirkegaard, tbeyhavebeen willing to help in many ways including someof the basic aspects of practice·~:md giving pointers whenthey could be given. ~ The Ranger News ' 13 /. Members of the women's rugby learn practice on a cold afternoon in March. One of the great things about rugby, according to Kirkegaard, is its diversity. Rugby is the only sport that Ireland plays as a unified country, and the only SPOlt that color barriers don't apply in South Africa. This shows the camaraderie that rugby endorses. " _"The world is gone when you're on the pitch, the only thing that matters is rugby, your teammates, and your opponents," said Kirkegaard. ' A rugby tradition that cannot be ignored is the Zulu tradition, "There is a very special rugby tradition that.is' based on a rugby player's first tri [or score]; immediately they're a Zulu Warrior;" said Kirkegaard. "Zulu-Warri-;'rs get naked except for their cleats and socks and streak the pitch down to the end and back get dressed again and start playing." This will be something that the UW-Parksidewomen will do and will gaina great deal of r~~ect for, according to Kirkegaard. Many women's teams will not make the teap and Zulu at the game. They may still Zulu at a party or as a team but not in the true tradition. "As tradition has it, and as we will have it, you Zulu on the pitch when you score," said Kirkegaard. "It soun?s silly but there is a huge amount of respect when people actually Zulu, especially when women's teams Zulu,'because women can be shy, and we're not shy." • "Everyone on the team is going to do it, so 1guess the best thing to do is not even think: about it just get up and run as fast as you can to that goal line," said Wojnicz in response to the Zulu. According to Kirkegaard, the best thing about rugby is that anyone can play. Rugby is a SPOIt that doesn't discriminate against height or weight; anyone can jump in and play. Rugby is mostly about the love of the game and the camaraderie that is shared while playing. .,. in the decision for a lot of students. To be a member, you must be willing to travel, come to practices, and enjoy the company of the other players." There are no 'full ride' scholarships or lucrative financial contracts from professional teams. The thing that sets rugby apart from most other organizations is that rugby is played purely for the game itself, according to Traber. "Just because we don't have support and scholarships for players, doesn't mean that we're bad," he said. "We're a small team, but we compete well." Even though there are colleges like UC Berkeley and Penn State that have rugby as a varsity sport, Traber said he believes that it probably won't gel picked up by UW-Parkside because it isn't as popular as other sports, which means that it's not going to be a varsity sport anytime soon. That is not to suggest that there is no hope for the club. "Parkside holds a vote in the Wisconsin Rugby Union, a governing body of rugby organization throughout the state," said Traber. "'We are-a tier 2 team, which is like being a NCAA II team. That means that if we do well at the state competition, we can move up to the tier I,or NCAA Iequivalent. level." Combining this exposure with traveling around the state, UW-Parkside's rugby club will broaden its outreach on a statewide scale. "Having a women's rugby club will help all the rugby organizations because there are more teams developing at the high school level that will see that there is progression to the collegiate level. Youth development is big in Wisconsin, so any recognition brings attention to ~ur sport," said Traber. "If nothing else, the women's team will help students get out and get involved in sports instead of doing nothing." Playing for the men's rugby team means that there's a commitmenlLO teammates. travel, and training will be high priority for any potential players. There is plenty of room on the team for players of all skill level and athletic ability. The team encourages all students and community members to take a chance and discover what the rugby team has to offer, UW-Parkside's men's rugby team in action. Continuedfrom cover story soonfollowedbecause "of those 72 only 35 showed up to practices and only 12 in the initial program stuck with it." :r Thisdifficultynearly speJled defeat for the fledgling pr6gram. In the past there was a men's rugby club at UW-Parkside. "Back in the '70s there was the Kenosha-RacineMen's team," said Murphy. "They competed above the collegiate level,but they didn't actively recruit and gamer new interest from the community. Because of that, it dwindled into non-existence," Thatstate of affairs is far from the current case. Anthony Merten, a UWMilwaukeestudent who used to attend UW-Parkside, has been playing rugby for fiveyears. "Thisis a sport that takes me a long time to excel at," said Merten. "It has a steep learning curve and is definitely one of the toughest things that I've done." Keepingfit is a major benefit for this player. "The level of athleticism is rei . . utvely high at our club level, but, naturally, the more physically fit you are thebetteryou'll play," said Merten. "We're not really competitive for starters nght, now. We'll take anybody and whip 'em into shape. Everyone is more than welcome to play." _ Hekeepscoming back to play the "fly half'-a player who receives the ball from the back of the serum, In some ways he's comparable to a quarterback: There'reno forward passes in rugby, only passes to the side and the back. It hasn't been all glory for Merten either. "I've had a few injuries-the first time 1 touched the ballsomeone .' d II d broke my nose," he Said.

On March 7. the entire cast was called to talk business and do a full read through, reading their lines aloud to reintroduce themselves to the script after auditions, which were held in the beginning of February. With production on Machinal now wrapped up, the cast and crew are ready to run full speed ahead on this project. Assistant stage manager Gabrielle DuBois, began going to production meetings in the second week of January. and continued working through Spring Break. "I am honored and excited even though I know it'll be hard work," DuBois said of her first stage management position. The romantic leads went to two actors are new to the department this year. Casey McConacbie will play tbe role of Laura, a young woman who finds love in tbe wrong place, and Derek Ewing will be playing the young Eugene, a poetic individual. Although the main plot centers around Mr. And Mrs. Gant, there is a connective love story that blossoms between Laura and Eugene. McConachie, who has been performing since she was young, said, "I'm very excited to have the role Ido for this production. Iwill be working very hard until ~ this production is over and I couldn't be more grateful." Ewing and McConachie joined the theatre program in fall of 2004, and both were in the production of My Fair Lady. Ewing had a role in Machinal. "The difference between Machinal and Look Homeward Angel," Ewing said, "is that even though Machinal made a daring impact and was brilliant, Look Homeward Angel is one of those stories anyone can relate to. about all the different levels of love." Tnother theatre department news, several students will be directing and acting in short plays for Directing I and IT classes. Students of those classes were assigned to pick a section of a play that was to be approved by Dean Yonk, professor and director at UW-Parkside. Then the students had to recruit two to three actors to present it in front of the class. Community members can see the 10 minute plays featured on May 8.

"Be able to say 'no' by knowing your 'burning yes'" which means try to say no to things that people ask you to do. Miller delivered his presentation with energy and passion, motivating students to be leaders. Sometimes, he said, people really want to do something, but they have too many things on their plate. If someone overloads themselves with commitments or responsibilities, when that one opportunity comes along that they really want, he or she will not be able to do it because they won't have enough time ot energy to commit. "I hope to accomplish in today's seminar to help people to recommit themselves to an organization, their job, and to be able to help some one be better," Miller said, "and to take some of my energy that Ihave and be able to take that energy into their own lives." Miller earned his bachelor's degree in English from Fairfield University in Connecticut and his master's degree in public administration from Framingham State College. He has 15 years of experience working in administrative and sales positions within corporate and university settings. Before his consulting career he was the director of tbe Student Center and Student Leadership Development at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut for four years. He was responsible for the commuter student services, Greek life, leadership development, student center, student governance and organizations and student programming. Miller also worked as a sales representative for United Airlines and held additional management positions in student life and activities at Wentworth Institute of Technology and Loyola University in Chicago. Since 1988 he has volunteered for National Association for Campus Activities (NACA). He was also on the Board of Directors from 1999-200 I. Miller suggested that before getting involved, students should familiarize themselves with the group thal they want to be involved with. This is how people form and develop community, according to Miller. "Take risks," Miller said. "Sometimes, one needs to step out of one's safety zone, risk rejection, and set out to do something without knowing the outcome. "Be positive. Know that one can do something and accomplish a goal. Set goals that are specific and measurable. This means that it can be reached in a certain time." Melissa Sell said, "I heard about it from Mike Schuett, and it looks good on a resume." Mike Scbuett said, "I want to be a better leader." Katrina Edwards, a communications major, said, "I'm an R.A., and it's required that I be here. I'm here for the training." Shannon Holbert, who is in sociology, said, "[Miller's presentation] definitely made me put things into a different light with such examples as time management, goals and motivation," she said. "Everything was great." Jeanni Simpson, a communications major, also said, "More students should have been here. Everybody could get something out of it." "It's high energy, very entertaining and informative. " P ril1."2005 ~ The Ranger News CLEF NOTES One Emcee and One DJ BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR Beginning an album called Hip Hop and The Black Arts Movement with an intra that leads into the first song with the words, " ... crazy folks always misuse folks they love," Aquil & DSteele must have known they would provoke some serious thought in their listener. However, throughout the album these south side Chicago natives weave a coherent tapestry of the black diaspora over the eleven tracks that follow with well-blended rhythms and intricate metrics that test the flexibility of the hip-hop lyric. "The Gift" is a track that calls for commitment from every listener to their own unique abilities. It also thankfully subverts some themes of traditional dead white guys like Robert Frost with, "Itook the dark road full of inside jokes and simple pleasures." "My objects are projects that keep my concepts employed/process the complex topics y'all avoid/and box them in context y'aJi can enjoy," Aquil flows over the downbeat in "Can Iget Opeo?" Almost everyone can feel the inspiration enveloping these words just by scanning them. Poetics always implies economics, and "Back to a Place (B.A.M)" doesn't only keep the topic front-and-center in its form, but discusses it openly in an analysis of the slave trade that "scattered capital to make the labor trade greater" to projects and segregated neighborhoods that are "fertile soil" for a nascent future hope. Employing hypotactic sentences like, "Commit to changing each one of my commitments change me," shows this duo not only saying, but doing a') well--something many contemporary artists seem to overlook. The album has such ample instances of accountability to the audience that at times you'll wish a book would be so engaging. "Best of Both Worlds" details the pleasure and difficulty of a long distance relationship, pulling imagery of constellations, precious stones and physics together in Aquil's ode to his fiance. "King of Hearts" is a narrative backed up by a slap bass line and high-hat. The lyrics identify the main character by the cards he carries "because a little superstition helps hold the fears back." It details one man's honest pick-up-line of a lifetime, where "the King of Hearts" asks "Big Momma" to be his partner in self-determination. Knowing that she gets game spit at her every day, he says right off the bat, "All that 'shorty can I get some?' conversation is lame." One can recall a scene off the block with Fred Hampton when he suggests they start a free breakfast program. Though an intense personal expression of two collaborators, it's clear the goal of this album was opening the minds and eyes of others. and one would hope that more people get tbe opportunity to check this album out. Inquiries should be addressed to aquilc@sbcglobal.net. Goes to Show You What's In a Name BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNIKAR Beginning his EP album Beat Box Vignettes Vol. t, Chicago emcee Seemore Perspective asks his audience, "what good is a soft-spoken crowd rocker?" From start to finish, this album is a not just a musical but also a literary experience. Perspective's dynamic vocals and shocking mouth-born beats tempt the listener along as he subverts hip hop's rhetori.c of bravado for a "word puree" of style and substance all the while. It's also worth noting that Mr. Perspective not only provided the beats and lyrics, but also produced and recorded the entire album. On "Dream Sequence," Seemore and guest-emcee Itch 13 craft a truthful account of the all-too-familiar constraints of time we face every day in the guise of an alarm clock (vl'm still yawnin~When I'm in the middle of a dream"), as well as bringing in philosophlcal and social commentary with lines like "and aren't we only sleeping?/and aren't we only dreaming?" . . . I h "sleep IS my The lyrics also evidence deep. surrealist rnetap lor sue as wetsuit," that extend the meaning of the entire song. Rounding out the track a cappella, Perspective gives listeners something to hope for: "When l' III in the middle of a dream/. interrupred/l'm sooo tired/of this attack upon my sUbstam.:e/ll~ .my head/pushin' away the numbness/Lift my head/And lift my sptrtt up with it." . .

A four-song extended play like this will always leave a listener wanting more. The band comprises Maritza and Belinda Cervantes, as well as occasional base from John Germlnaro and beat boxing from the versatile Seemore Perspective. At times, Flamenco stylings will bleed into folk and hip-hop influence, such as on the track "Songwriter Man," where the sisters Cervantes both bemoan and celebrate the tragic appeal of artistic, emotionally unavailable men. They seem to offer a piece of honest advice when they say, "Your heart is fragile/to several angles/and in the middle of the night/your conscience got you frazzled/love him up/but let him go/see in a moment or two ... 1 told you so" The song offer listeners second- and first-person perspectives, changing from the voice of the above lines to, "when Ilook into your eyes you don't seem bothered," which begs everyone the question whether or not we ever do. In contrast, "Hippie's Song" is a much more down-beat croon that tastes like love. Lines like "he followed me/up into my world/ not afraid of my love/attacking every tum/not afraid to get burned" combined with the sweet, painful contradiction of "he followed me/ and never will" help the track into reality, Giving listeners something to meditate on, the track closes with a repeated refrain fragment "he will/always," delivered with a sincere mystique that speaks to both conventional relationships as well as the unrequited. Luna Blues Machine is definitely going to be making some waves locally in the next few months, and they're planning a tour in the not-so-distant future. Look out for this great blend of funk, feminine energy and passionate music to soon blow up. ",...,.,..... Seemore Perspective said, "See more perspective." Photo Rebecca McDonald. Who's On Point BY NICHOLAS MICHAEL RAVNlKAR Idris Goodwin is not just an «emcee who performs facilitations," and, although he says be's not "a poet or a prophet" but "jus~ a man.:' with WorkHusdeThinkWrite he goes beyond a pure celebration of hip hop's rich history to provoke his audience to participate, calling for "adventure, not indentured servants." In fact. Goodwin has been very busy in Chicago over the last few years. He released two albums with ~arnl Cre~, w:rote. directed., and produced multiple plays--including his ~ulTent "Hip Hop Opera entitled Pluto--with the Hermit Arts Collective. and IS currently teaching at Young Chicago Authors. Tracks like "Stuck (The Mule Song)" and "Mr. Hipster" call out do-nothing scenesters on their admitted consumerist a~athy, asking them to move toward action--regardless of what form It takes. H laments the confounding influence of a confused "ghetto I .:. that breads "real American[s] out for self' in "Little Big Man:' ell ture f d'?v' b rill asks "Why throw back when you can go orwar .

The landlord may inspect the premises, make repairs, or show the premises to prospective tenants or purchasers. However, there must be advance notice given, and it must be at reasonable times. If the tenant is absent and the landlord reasonably believes that entry is necessary to protect or the premises, it may be entered without notice, and with such force as appears necessary. With respect to the removal of fixtures from a premises the statutes dictate the following. The tenant cannot make physical changes in the nature of the premises, including decorating, removing, altering, or adding to the structures of the premises without prior consent of the landlord. Nor may the tenant the premises for any unlawful prupose, or in any such manner as to interfere unreasonably with by another occupant of the same building (or group of buildings). When ending tenancy, a tenant may remove any fixtures which he installed if the premises are to the condition which they were in prior to installation of the fixture, if the tenant pays the landlord for the cost of such restoration. If the fixture was installed to replace a similar fixture which was already on premises at the time tenancy began, and the original fixture can't be restored, then the tenant may remove the fixtures he installed only if the originals are replaced by fixtures of comparable condition and value. This removal right still exists if a lease is extended or renewed and there is no clause in the lease with regard to removal of fixtures. This removal right applies to any fixtures added by the tenant, whether for convenience, trade, business, or agriculture. This right does not cover anyone other than the landlord and tenant. When tenant ends tenancy and leaves behind property of apparent value of le ss than $100, th e landlord may store the property with or without the consent of t he tenant. The property may be stored on or off the premises with a lien on the property for the actual cost of removal or storage. If the property is removed or stored by the landlord, then the landlord may still charge a reasonable value for storage. The landloard must notify the tenant, in person or by ordinary mail addressed to the tenant's last known address of hi s intent to sell or otherwise dispose of the property commencing 8 days after the mailing (or 5 days after personal notice). If the property is not repossessed by the specified dates, the landlord may dispose of it by private or public sale, or any other appropriate means. Any proceeds collected as result of disposal must be sent to the tenant by registered mail addressed to his last known address. However, the landlord may deduct from the proceeds any cost of sale and any storage charges if the property was stored before Continued On Page Seven INSIDE... • From the Parking Lot: Professoreze interpreted • Rangers win again! • Limerick contest: Countdown time Status of women UWP committee gets organized by G. Helgeson A Regent's Task Force committee on the status of women has been organized at UW-Parkside in accordance with all other UWSystem campuses. The broad purpose of the study to be conducted here is to provide the Parkside campus and the UWSystem as a whole with information on the current status of women at UW-Parkside, to increase awareness of women's issues and problems, and to find solutions to those problems. The stated goals of the UWSystem in designing the Task Force studies are: "To that the 1980's become a decade of genuine progress toward women's rights, and to be sure that in this the University of Wisconsin community is in the forefront of according fair and equal treatment to all its citizens." Carla Stoffle, Assistant Chancellor of Educational Services and chair of Parkside's Task Force committee, said, "Some of the things they're asking us to look into are employment affirmative action, including effectiveness to date, administrative support and involvement in removing barriers to affirmative action, and sexual harrassment in the work environment. "In the faculty employment area, we will be looking into problems in recruiting, hiring and retention of women, and the potential effects of enrollment decline in the 80's on hiring and retaining women." Stoffle .stressed that the latter is an important area, because most women hired here through affirmative action do not have tenure, and the traditional system of c utting back during enrollment declines means "Last hired, first let go," which meaqp the possible loss of affirmative action gains made during the 70's. Also, the committee has been instructed to study the involvement of women in faculty governance, and academic freedom in research and curriculum, including the availability of non-sexist education. Factors of the study which will most directly pertain to students include recruitment, admissions, financial aid, and student services. Some of the questions Stoffle feels the committee will ask about women as students at Parkside will be, "Do we provide women students with the right kinds of information and services? Do we try to broaden their horizons so that all women don't end up getting degrees in English, home nursing? The committee will also be studying the campus environment, including administrative support and involvement in student for women, and' sexual harrassment pertaining to students, faculty, and classified personnel. Stoffle said that presently at Parkside, sexual harrassment charges are handled by following "procedures" and reporting to "faculty committees." She also said that sexual harrassment is . " like any other form of mistreatment. They should come for the proper kind of res olution of their problem. It's not a lack of concern. There's a lot of th ings to do, and you deal with things as they come up." In addition, Stoffle said, "we Continued On Page Two Thursday, February 21, 1980 Vol. 8 No. 21 Bus shelter here at Parkside will no longer have to brave the elements while waiting for their bus.

The committee will submit both an oral presentation and a written report to the Regent's Board in Milwaukee on April 18th. Stoffle said, "Other people on the campus can go ahead and make their own presentation to the Regents or this Task Force. There is definitely the capability for people who want to make sure they're heard, whether they dissent or not." Stoffle said that the Task Force was first announced to Chancellor Guskin by the Board of Regents, who appointed him to the committee in December, but that it "took awhile to get a whole list of people who would be willing to serve. The Chancellor was out of town, I was out of town some, and on this campus, it's just been a matter of logistics." Then, according to Stoffle, the slate of names went to the University Committee for approval. Last week, the Task Force committee was finalized, and a meeting was scheduled for yesterday. Parkside is one of the few UW-System campuses that has not yet begun their status of women study. Members of the Task Force committee are: Stoffle; Elaine Bertelson, a classified staff member employed in the business office; Carol Cashen, director of Educational Program Support; Donnella Elsen, an adult student; Mary Lou France, a classified staff member employed in the institutional analysis and registration office who is president of WSEU, on-campus local 2180; Shirley Fraser, a To the Editor On equality To the Editor: A recent editorial and letter to the editor which both raised issues of equality have irritated me to response. Therefore, I will now attempt to defend discrimination in a world of differences where equality will not be found. I hope I will not be judged for my comments as quickly as I fear. First of all, equality implies identity, and I think the problem that arises most in issues of equality is that of identity crisis. By this I mean, that the natures of the entities at issue are being denied or confused. If the entities at issue are indeed equal then they are therefore necessarily identical. If the entities are different then the question of discrimination presents itself. Are the differences between the entities significant and relevant to our purposes? If they are then discrimination is dictated, otherwise, it must be guarded against. I will now illustrate my meaning with an example. Should women serve in the armed forces? First off, I will affirm the obvious: 1. Women are not equal to men; and for emphasis and also to avoid character assault: 2. Men are not equal to women. Now, are the differences between men and women significant and relevant to our purposes? Well that depends. It depends on what kind of army we want. It is not clear to me that it is necessary or in our best interests to have women serve in the armed forces. Perhaps another form of service would prove to be more adequate. Think about it. My point is that all men are not equal and that all discrimination is not prejudice. I am advocating a policy of effective discrimination, one where rationally justified discrimination is employed to fulfill a designated purpose, because I believe this is the best way to manage differences. Discrimination can be useful, and in closing I would like to add that .discrimination does not create or solve differences; it merely recognizes them. Thank You. Kevin L.

We are packing supplies on barges in Singapore and sailing them across the South China Sea to Kompong Som or up the Mekong River to Phnom Penh. Because of your support, assistance is reaching those starving civilians, young and old, who are desperately struggling to hold onto life in Cambodia. As you know, much, much more remains to be done in this tragic country. And we are working aginst time. Anthony Lewis of the New York Times wrote the other day: "What we can do, and must, is help the Cambodians survive." Guy Stringer, an Oxfam man in Phnom Penh, estimates that if the world primises are kept, "A good proportion of the people will be just about alive by April, when the next harvest is due." Your contribution has gone toward buying the food to keep that promise to the Cambodian people. Again, our deep, deep thanks for what you've done. We must not let this gentle people die.

Once the meetings get under way Stoffle said, the committee will be looking for members of the Parkside community who will be willing to volunteer information in the form of testimony. Though the committee has yet to decide what form of testimony will be accepted, Stoffle said that confidentiality will be guaranteed especially in the case of persons who feel they have been sexually harassed or discriminated against. , _ Stoffle feels that the Task Force committee's findings will have an impact on women at all levels ol the Parkside community. She said, "Once we report on the status, the institution will be somewhat committed to looking into the problems and taking action, where possible, to resolve those problems." Stoffle feels that this is, in part, because of a high level of commitment both in the UW-System as a whole, and at Parkside. She said that because the new UWSystem president has already proclaimed his commitment to women's issues, "He's really Chancellor Guskin is "extremely committed. He was the only chancellor in the system appointed by the Regents to a Task Force." Stoffle summed up her own commitment to the issue with: "I hope that people will take it seriously, and I hope we'll get input from all phases of the university community. I'm committed to affirmative action and women's issues. I'd like to see things better for women on campus." • (See next week's Ranger for coverage of the Task Force on the Status of Women's First meeting.)

C.) — "Reaching Students About Educational Opportunities" is the theme of the Third Student- Commissioner Conference on Financial Aid and Access to Postsecondary Education, which will be held Feb. 21-23 in Washington, D.C. Eighty-five postsecondary and 15 high school student leaders will evaluate a public service campaign advertising federal financial assistance programs as part of the conference. "We want to find out where the ads have been aired across the country and to determine the impact of the information on various constituencies from a diversity of communities," said Thomas Martinez, conference chair. "Participants and press observers will make a recommendation as to whether the Department of Education should continue the campaign next year." The ads were developed by the U.S. Office of Education and produced by Masai Enterprises Inc. of Los Angeles.. First distributed in fall, 1979, the ads went to television and radio stations as well as newspapers to reach 85 percent of the media audience. Student participants will meet with federal education officers and staff to discuss the effectiveness of federal financial aid and counseling services from their point of view as consumers. Conferees will present a final report to the Department of Education as well as to over 13,00 student projects, financial aid and counseling officers and newspapers on over 3,000 two and four year college and university campuses. The students will also attend workshops, hear a number of task force reports and review federal financial aid application procedures. "Currently the rate of errors in filling out financial aid forms is 34 percent, which translates into over a million and a half eligible students experiencing major delay or failure in receiving funds," said Daryl Messinger, executive director of COPUS, Coalition of Independent College and University Students. "We hope to cut this rate of errors through better and more widely accessable information. The conference is sponsored by the U.S. Commissioner of Education, and OE's Office of Educational Community Liaison and Bureaus of Student Financial Assistance, Higher and Continuing Education, and Elementary and Secondary Education. The National Association of Student Councils, Student Press Service and the Educational Opportunity Center of Washington, D.C. have assisted in the participation of high school students. Nine nationally-recognized educational organizations will cohost the conference. They are: the National Student Educational Fund (NSEF), Coalition of Independent College and University Students (COPUS), Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, National Organization of Black University and College Students, National Third World Student Coalition, United States Association of Evening Students, United Mexican-American Students, United States Student Association (USSA) and the National Women Students Coalition. <Ranger PHOTO CONTEST CHANGED NEW CATEGORIES 1) color 2) black & white PRIZ E S 1st Prize for each category will be a $15.00 gift certificate for Camera World of Racine and Kenosha 2nd Prize for each category will be $7.50 in cash.

Financial Aid help-session The financial aid workshop organized by the Minority Student Union (MSU) attracted over 150 students. The sessions were held for three consecutive days in January. The workshop was aimed at helping students file the necessary financial aid forms in an effort to help them receive their funds on time. Quite a large number of majority students took advantage of the information provided and most students considered the workshop meaningful and quite helpful. Many students have been asking the MSU to organize another workshop before the March 15 financial aid deadline, and as a consequence, another financial aid workshop is being planned.

They mixed the ample of the spirit with gun powder and tried to light it. If the mixture would not ignite, the distillate was considered too weak. U an overly bright flare leapt up, the spirit was too potent. A steady blue flame denoted a distillate of prop r str ngth for drinking. pirits yielding such a flame were said to have been proved.

The book , while in itself is thorough and most responsible, is by no means the final word on the subject. Though Pertoonist identifies a wide range of logical translations, heaven know there are probably some obscure ones left to be explored by others.

Th© Rose wilts but AAidler blooms gets onsta„ Mi(j, , . ** ** by Ken Meyer V ' • W • • Vi • ^I l/IWIIId Bette Midler makes an auspicious film debut in /'The Rose," a cliche-ridden story loosely based on Janis Joplin about a successful rock and roller's deterioration through drugs and alcohol. The story begins with Midler, known as The Rose everywhere she goes, at the top of her career wanting to be relieved of the onthe- road pressures of concerts, recording sessions and interviews. She wants to take a year vacation, but her manager, played by Alan Bates, has $3 million worth of engagements set up so The Rose turns to drugs and alcohol for relief. What the story comes down to is evident in one scene in which Midler looks out of her airplane's window seeing only clouds and breaks down crying "I never know where I am." At that point Bates tells Midler's newly-acquired boyfriend, played by Frederic Forrest, "Welcome to rock and roll." Midler is superior as the famed singer who has to find companionship in a battle because her rocky life makes it impossible to have permanent relationships. Midler's acting is first rate but her concert sequences are even better. Midler herself doesn't consider her voice to be that hot, and that may be true, but when she is onstage, she takes charge of the screen because of her capabilities as an entertainer. The Rose's character is rather despicable, but Midler makes her likeable because we see t hat she wants to get out of the rock rat race but finds it impossible to do so. We root for her when she rebels. She is told by her manager not to say a certain vulgarity while performing, but Midler says the word immediately when she onstage. Midler's characterization of The Rose is always pleasantly but vulgarly funny .Another aspect of the rock world that The Rose" explores is that of sex. The film's exploration of bisexuality is ineptly executed in only a few scenes when an exgirlfriend of The Rose returns The few scenes are ridiculously written and embarrassingly acted by Sandra McCabe. Their lesbian relationship is brought up out of the blue and is just as quickly forgotten, probably in expectation of the prudish reaction of some people. At the showing I saw, one revolted lady exclaimed "Oh my God!" when she was aware of what was happening onscreen. The Rose's relationship with Army deserter-turned-chauffer Frederic Forrest is one big cliche, but Forrest does a good job of portraying Midler's latest everpresent companion. The script does not do well in bringing out Midler's rough life with any originality. The film begins with The Rose at the pinnacle of her career, but at the bottom of her personal downhill slide. We never saw The Rose before her fame, but we can see she wants to go back to the simpler life when she re turns to her hometown for what turns out to be her last concert. Because the script offers nothing original to the drugged rock star genre, the script relies heavily on Midler's songs to k eep the film going. That works fine for the most part, but the film's middle goes much too long without Midler punching life into the film with her singing. So, except for this stretch in the middle, "The Rose" is successful only because of Midler's exceptional talents The energy and vitality she brings to the screen makes one not care that we've seen the story before. Celebrity speakers UW-P craves for Its location near the world film capital has always helped the U. of California-Los Angeles attract more than its share of celebrity speakers. But student ingenuity has also helped the UCLA Speakers Program attract such people as Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin, Steve Martin and Bob Hope, without also attracting theirlarge appearance fees. The student chairman of the program says he tries to contact celebrities directly (by phone, letter or telegram), instead of going through speaker agencies or business manager, and appeals to "their sense of fun." Hope was lured to campus with the promise of thousands of eager fans and was pre sented with a humorous "honorary" diploma, a student ID card and a campus parking permit (all impressively framed) once he arrived. Johnny Carson, Chevy Chase and Steve Martin each came to UCLA to receive the Jack Benny Memorial Award of Excellece, established by the students with the approval of administration and Benny's widow. To draw filmmakers, the Speakers Program created the "Charlie Chaplin Award of Excellence. Other colleges may not have Hollywood nearby, but they can make use of their local resources, says program director David Neuman. These can include area politicians, authors or celebrities. "Use every 'in' you might have," he advises and once you've gotten a special guest, make him feel confortable by keeping groups small and avoid massive receptions. Try to discover personal preferences in advance (George Carlin likes chicken sandwiches and Michelob, Newman found out) and cater to them. FRIDAY, FEB. 22 AT 8 P. M.

The script does not do well in bringing out Midler's rough life with any originality. The film begins with The Rose at the pinnacle of her career, but at the bottom of her personal downhill slide. We never saw The Rose before her fame, but we can see she wants to go back to the simpler life when she returns to her hometown for what turns out to be her last concert. Because the script offers nothing original to the drugged rock star genre, the script relies heavily on Midler's songs to keep the film going. That works fine for the most part, but the film's middle goes much too long without Midler punching life into the film with her singing. So , except for this stretch in the middle, "The Rose" is successful only because of Midler's exceptional talents The energy and vitality sh brings to the creen Celebrity speakers · UW-P craves for Its location near the world film capital has always helped the U. rl California-Los Angeles attract more than its share of celebrity peakers. But student ingenuity has also helped the UCLA peakers Program attract such people as Groucho Marx, Charlie Chaplin, Steve Martin and Bob Hope, without also attracting their large appearance fees. The student chairman of the program says he tries to contact celebrities directly ( by phone, I tter or telegram), instead of going through speaker agencies or business manager, and appeals to "their sense of fun." Hope was lured to campus with the promise of thousams of eager fans and was presented with a humorous "honorary" diploma, a student TD card and a campus parking permit (all impressively framed) once he arrived. Johnny Carson, Chevy Chase FR• AY, FEB. 22 ATS P. M. Showing in the and Steve Martin each came to UCLA to receive the Jack Benny Memorial Award of Excelloce, established by the students with the approval of administration and Benny 's widow. To draw filmmakers, the Speakers Program created the Charlie Chaplin Award cl. Excellence. Other colleges may not have Hollywood nearby , but they can make use of their local resources, say program director David Neuman. These can include area politicians , authors or celebrities. "Use every 'in' you might have,'' he advises and once you've gotten a special guest, make him feel conlortable by keeping groups small and avoid massive receptions. Try to discover personal preferences in advance (George Carlin likes chicken andwiches and Michelob, Newman found out) and cater to them.

The event, which was planned as a community event, attracted about 140 pe ople; who gathered at the "400 Club" in Racine to celebrate the event. Last Friday MSU kicked off Black History Week with the "Second Annual Black History Week Dance." Over 125 people turned out to socialize with the members of the student group. Saturday evening, many students and community people participated in "Recreational Center Night". An estimated seventy-five people joined in the fun which included everything from bowling to ping pong. Tournament trophies were awarded to the winners of the first three places in the events as follows: (In order of f inish) Backgammon' - Renee Jones, James Moore, and Bernadetta Brown. Chess - Tony Clark, Ernest Jones, and Michael McCoy. Bowling - Bill Gohde, Bob Bauer, and Larry Herdon. Ping Pong - Khai Luc, Jeff Mico, and Julio Roble. Billiards - Scott Allen, Scott Hancock, and Glen Schultz. The MSU Sunday afternoon event, a gathering of community choirs, provided inspirational music by Larry Bird and the Heavenly Voices. To all who participated in and helped support their activities, the MSU says "thanks". In the renter's interest(cont pg. i j sale. If the proceeds from the property are returned by mail to the landlord, and are not claimed by the tenant within 6 months after the date the premises was vacated, the landlord may keep the proceeds. If the property value is over $100 it may be disposed on in accordance with Chapter 409.504 of the Wisconsin State Statutes. This includes any property which may be owned by a third party, and which was left when the tenant vacated the premises. The procedures are not exclusive and the landlord may resort to any other available judicial procedures. The duties of the landlord and the tenant concerning the general Bible study offers much to talk about I n t e r - V a r s i t y C h r i s t i a n Fellowship is sponsoring a Bible Study designed primarily for faculty, staff, and non-traditional students. June Pomatto, a local artist/teacher and a long time student of t he scriptures will lead the Bible Study using the book, How to Be a Christian Without Being Religious, (edited by Fritz Ridenour) as a study guide for Romans. The Bible Study will be on Wednesdays from 10:00-11:00 AM in Molinaro 236. If you have any questions call June Pomatto at 552-8650 or Barbarba Larson at 553-2122. Ranger needs ad reps state of repairs of the premises are covered by 704.07. The landlord must keep in a reasonable state of repairs portions of the premises over which he maintains control. This includes any equipment necessary to furnish any services expressed or implied as being furnished to the tenant. He must also make all structural repairs, and repair or replace any plumbing, electrical wiring, machinery, etc. furnished with the premises, and which is no longer in reasonable working order. This includes things damaged by another tenant of t he same building or group of buildings. Any repairs made necessary due to damage by improper use of the premises by the tenant must be made by the tenant. The tenant must also restore the appearance by redecorating. The landlord himself may undertake repairs, and the tenant will then have to reimbusre him a reasonable cost for repairs. Note: the cost is deemed reasonable unless proved otherwise by the tenant. The tenant is also under duty to keep plumbing, electrical wiring, equipment, etc. furnished with the premises in reasonable working order, so long as the cost of r epair is minor in relation to the rent. Accept in the case of negiligence by improper use by the tenant, if the premises is untenantable due to fire, water, other casualty, or because of conditions which are hazardous to health, the tenant may vacate the premises unless the landlord proceeds to promptly to repair, rebuild, or eliminate the hazard. The tenant may also vacate if the nature and period of such repair, rebuilding, etc. would cause an undue hardship on him. If the tenant remains in the premises while the repair, rebuilding, etc. is going on, then an adjustment to the rent must be made for the extent to which normal and full use of premises is not possible. So too, if t he tenant vacates the premises because of t he hardship outlined in the preceeding paragraphs, the tenant is not liable for rent after the time the premises are untenantable. The landlord must repay any rent paid in advance apportioned to the time after which the premises became untenantable. The preceeding information about tenancy is not all inclusive. For any situations arising that are seemingly not covered by the above, consult Chapter 704 of the Statutes of the State of Wisconsin.

Edenhauser RANGERS SHUT OUT CARTHAGE 49-0 in final home meet of the season. Working Out Lewis paces Ranger wins by Dave Cramer The men's basketball team assured themselves of the number one seeding for the upcoming Wisconsin Independent College Association (WICA) playoff that will be held later this month with victories over WICA opponents Milton and Lakeland. Milton visited the Rangers last Tuesday and quickly found things to their disliking. Parkside jumped out to an early lead of ten points and maintained it throughout the entire game without really being threatened. The Rangers went through the motions on their way to an 82-70 win. The game was their third in one week and it appeared as if the schedule had began to take it's toll on the players and coach Steve Stephens acknowledged it, "We were a little flat. It was a solid game but not spectacular by any means. The intensity was not there in the second half. We relaxed too much." Once again the consistent play of freshman Curtis Green was present. "Curtis is playing really well, very steady" praised Stephens. Milton felt Green's presence as Curtis once again led the team in rebounding with 12, while he added 19 points. Forward Reggie Anderson led the scoring parade with 22 while guard Howard Avery added 14. The win upped the Ranger overall record to 15-7 and ran their unbeaten homecourt streak to 19. Winning on the road is always nice, but when you gain the number one seeding for the playoffs it makes it even more sweeter. Such was the case when the Rangers took the trip up north to Sheboygan and tangled, literally, with Lakeland College. The Rangers won 67-49 but had to scratch and bite for every point. The first half was as physical as a football game and was dominated by tough defense. Fortunately for the Rangers, they have the talent and ability to adjust to that style of play. Still, after the first half was over, the Rangers held but a five point lead at 29-24. In the second half the Rangers came out and outscored the Muskies 18-7 in the first eight minutes and then increased their lead up to 20 points at one time. The second half play was even more physical then the first and that was when senior forward All - American Lonnie Lewis took control. Lewis dominated the inside play and finished with game highs of 21 points and 18 rebounds. Reggie Anderson chipped in with 14 points and Curtis Green had 10. The Ranger record is now 16-7. They have also won six straight and 11 of t heir last 12. They seem to be peaking at the right time as playoff season draws near. Women suffer two more loses by Peter "Ace" Cramer Parkside women are having a tough basketball season and their last two games have been no exceptions. The first loss came against UW-Milwaukee at home 64-48 and the second defeat was suffered at the hands of Northern Michigan University in a game played at Oshkosh, 77-62. Against UW-M, Parkside was four down at halftime 25-21. Going into the second half they couldn't get on target and were outscored 39-27. Lead scorer for Parkside was Anita Green with 15 points, while leading rebounder was Debbie Lopez with eight boards. In the second game, Northern Michigan held a five point halftime lead of 36-31 by shoo ting 48% from the floor compared to the Ranger's 33%. Second half action belonged to the red hot Northern Michigan team who bombed away from the outside to outscore the Rangers 41-31 and glided to victory. Anita Green once again led all Ranger scorers with 21 points with Laurie Pope adding 13. Coach Goggin commented on this seasons play, "the women play a good game, but there always seems to be a five minute period in which the game gets away from us." She also remarked "this is a building year. We have a new head coach, one senior, three sophomores, two juniors and seven freshmen. With the improved play of th e team and some recruiting hopefuls, we could have a bright future ahead of us." Improve the chest by Donald Scherrer Perhaps the most obvious and most admirable muscle of a man's and woman's body is the chest. For the man it is considered the seat of power; for the woman, a symbol of beauty and vitality. Since the chest encompasses the rib cage, lungs, and heart, and because it is centered over that vital organ, it pumps very quickly. The pump is a physical high; it is caused by the rapid flow of blood into the muscle being worked, thus inflating the muscle temporarily beyond its usual size. Whenever the chest is exercised, the shoulders also come into play, assisted by the larger upper arm muscles, the triceps (the deltoids), on the underside, extending from the lats (latissimus dorsi) of the upper back, at the armpits, to the elbows. The number one chest exercise is the BENCH PRESS. Lying on a bench or narrow coffee table, with a barbell at arm's length overhead, lower the bar until it is about to touch the area between the nipples and the neck, then press it up again. For variation, lower the bar towards the nipples, or to the base of the neck for a much greater stretch. And if the angle of the bench is lowered so that the knees are higher than the chest, the effect shifts from the middle of t he chest, the pectoralis major, to the lower. If the angle of the bench is raised upwards to a maximum of 45 degrees, then the upper chest, the pectoralis minor, is worked. The bench press can also be done with dumbells or objects of similar size or weight, raising the dumbells either one at a time or by pressing both together, starting with the dumbells at shoulder width but bringing them closer as they are raised over the chest. FLYES. Lying on a bench (again, the angle may vary), with a dumbell in each hand, and keeping the arms bent approximately 45 degrees at the elbows, lower and raise the dumbells in an arc, in the fashion of a bear-hug. And do not let the dumbells hit each other at the top, keep the movement steady, and concentrate on the "feel" in the chest. Large books such as encyclopedias would permit this exercise also to be done at home. Flyes develop the outer and inner chest, done in the bear-hug manner. And in place of t he bench press, one could do a moderate number of push-ups, varying the hand spacing or by elevating the feet on a chair. PARALLEL BAR DIPS. With the body positioned between two horizontal beams, the hands and arms supporting the weight and the legs bent at the knees, sink down as far as possible and push up again. Keep the arms back and lean forward as you begin to dip, keeping the chin tucked into the chest. The key power and size building chest exercise is the bench press, whereas flyes, dips and others shape and outline the chest, the pecs. An exercise to build the rib cage, that expands it and promotes larger lungs, giving deeper and more powerful breathing, is the PULLOVER. Lying crosswise on a bench or padded table, with the hips lower than the rest of the body, and a light barbell or dumbell held straight above the chest, lower it well over the head and down until it nearly touches the floor, inhaling as the weight pulls the rib cage up and back. Exhale as the weight is brought back above the chest. Each set of pullovers should be preceded by a set of squats (deep knee bends) or any exercise that induces heavy breathing, so that the rib cage is stretched to a great degree. Pullovers increase the chest cavity so that one has more probable potential in increasing the size of the chest muscles. Women should perhaps do more decline work than men, since the greater portion of their breast development is in the lower chest region. Flyes are a good stretching and shaping movement for women, as well as a way to firm up the bust. Women should do two to four sets of six to fifteen reps of regular or decline bench presses; with a combination of angled flyes, again, two to four sets, six to fifteen reps, with a minute or two of res t between sets. Pullovers are highly recommended. Dips are definitely out. Men should concentrate on bench presses and pullovers for size, three to six sets each, and (flyes and dips and the like, for shaping, to as many sets and reps as they have the energy to do. But remember, too many secondary exercises may prevent or slow the effects of the primary cmes. Burman qualifies Freshman Wendy Burman ran a 10:40.8 Two Mile race Saturday to qualify for the AIAW National Indoor Track Championships in the 5000 meter event. She beat the qualifying time by a whole five seconds. Her mark was made in the Illini Invitational last Saturday in Champaign. In addition, she placed fifth in that event while teammate Barb Osborne ran a personal best of 11:45 to place 21st. The 19 team meet saw American record holder Stephanie Hightower of Ohio State win her specialty, the 60 h urdles, as well as the 60 a nd 220. While team scores were not immediately available, OSU and Drake University were battling for the title. Dona Driscoll ran the 600 y ard dash in 1:32.74 to win her heat and place 17th overall. Lisa Swanson placed 19th in the Shot Put. Next Sunday the team travels to the Wisconsin AAU, where Wendy and Barb will run the three mile, a race more suited to their talents. -COOCOCCOCOBOGCOOOOOSO NEED A JOB? •fCOCCOOCCOC f K Wisc onsin Job Service is now set up in Tallent Hall, Room 8 102't0 Provide student employment opportunities both on- 0 campus and off - campus for currently enrolled UWb Porkside students.
