P.age 2 THE RANGER NEWS Recently, I received this letter from a University of Wisconsin-Parkside student: Dear Editor-In-Chief . I am a junior at UW-Parkside and have noticed that the Ranger News has_ a new Editor-~-Chief. After reading your first two issues this semester, I have a question. Can students wnte about an_ythin_g that they want to write about for the newspaper? By this, I mean articles about global or commuruty things. Dear Student Any student or faculty members who are interested in working with The Ranger News t~ discuss _the possibility of printing an article, are welcome to bring their article ideas to our Mon~y meetin~. Bemg _a college newspaper, we prefer articles that are directly related to the Parkside commumty, but articles dealmg with global and/or community events/issues are welcome. The Ranger News' editing staff are very openminded when considering articles. If interested members tum in timeless global/community articles that cannot be used immediately the article would be saved for a future issue. Something we always tell people who find themselves strapped for time or who cannot commit as a full-time writer with The Ranger News, is if you see news or something that interests you on campus, write something up about it. It does not matter if you 're a horrible writer. If you can communicate your idea about something there's almost always a way to get it into article fonn. Sincerely, Sandra Cornell Editor-In-Chief, The Ranger News Please, keep your questions/comments coming to The Ranger News via e-mail (rangemews@journalist. com) or by dropping pieces off at The Ranger News office in Wyllie D l39C.

She was the daughter of Peter and Marianne Jensen. She was a graduate of Washington Park High School and was a current student at OW-Parkside. Her passions were working with children, attending Broadway theater shows, ballet performances and loved being able to dress up for the Ma drigal dinner at Christmas. Her biggest passion was her love for her family and friends. She lit up the halls at UW-Parkside with her beautiful smile and energetic personality. Some ofus will remember Katherine as a dedicated RA. She was always willing to help out her fellow classmates no matter what the circumstance. Her willingness to contribute her time and energy to others was something she did frequently. She was a great friend to many and will be sadly missed.

All but one Senator stood motionless when the Pro Tempore asked for obJect1ons to Senator Moore s appointment. The opposing senator spoke on the grounds that he thought Moore seemed somewhat undecided-~ his decision to commit to PSGA and that indecision seemed to lend an air of instability to Sen. Moore's ab1ltty to successfully fulfill the position as SUFAC director. Other Senat9rs refuted the objection by expressing how they felt Moore was one of the few qualified persons for the job resulting from his past experience working with SUFAC. $$$ CASH PAYMENTS $$$ EARN UP TO AND OVER PER MONTH One Senator proposed a secret ballot vote to alleviate any possible reservations some senators might have been having. Sen. Moore then stated that he respectfully declined, sending some senators into a state of frustration. Senate, based on a vote of 12 yeses 22 no's, rejected the secret ballot proposition. Senator Moore was then urged by supporting senators to accept the position because of his qualifications. Senator Moore accepted the position and was voted into the SUFAC director position by a vocal vote during which there was then, again, only one noticeable objection.

By Sandee Cornell October 10, 2003: PSGA senate voted on an amendment to Wisconsin's Personal Protect\ on Ac!, ~n act that allows citizens 21 years of age and after completi~ g trammg, to P?Ssess and carry a concealed weapon. Bemg that the act m its current state could put students at risk, PS9A senate voted in favor or supporting the amendment to add institutions of higher education to the list of places in which concealed weapons would be prohibited. Ac~ording to Senator Dave Koss, the amendment is to protect UWParks1de students and he is confident that the amendment will pass and the Governor will veto it. Wisconsin is the forty-sixth state to amend the act so as to accommodate universities. . The Bo~rd of_Regents is the highest governing body for the University of W1sconsm system and currently consists of fourteen citizen members, the superintendent of public instruction the president of the Technical College Board and one student. ' The PSGA senate voted in favor of specifying that a second student . be added to the board and that the second student be a non-traditional student. Adding the second student would ensure that the students have a greater voice in the decision making process for the University. Every student is a member of Parkside Student Government organization.

Page 5 THE RANGER NEWS October 30, 2003 "The Ranger Growl The Complainer Column • Dear Ranger Growl, I am writing to complain about "Gay Blue Jeans Day" on Friday Oct. 10 at UW-Parkside. As a student of this school for a few years now, I have found that blue jeans gave become a key aspect of my daily wardrobe. What is it that gives Rainbow Alliance the right to take my blue jeans and turn them into a statement of something I don't necessarily support? I thought that the I whole point of those "special" I days was to take a stand and proclaim your sexuality. Why is the object of boldness is the blue jeans that both hetero and homosexuals wear? If anything, it should be "Gay Pink Shirt Day". And if people do continue to hide their sexuality behind the masses, I implore them to advertise those days much better.The posters seemed to magically appear the day of! Be bold and don't drag everyone into your cause! -- Blue Jean Wearing Straight Guy Dear Ranger Growl, Commando just won the governor's seat. Things seem to be getting more and more surreal every day. For those who haven't seen Kill Bill or Once Upon A Time in Mexico yet, save those eyes for for special treatment. The War in Iraq, The Bill Goat's Curse of the Cubbies. And how about this fact: the most fascinating stuff on TV is The Newlyweds, a reality show that traces the lives of two newly married space cadets, singers Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson. The world outside of Molinaro Sauce, Con Arts, and Wyllie Coyote is jumbled. For those who speed in the parking lot, please watch out for your fellow walkers. Cover the brakes and leave the lot clean of amputated body partsthere's enough of them at the movies. -Josh Dear Ranger Growl, I am writing this leeter noy just to complain, but also to commend. First of alll, I would like to nothow wonderful the lunch ladies of the Union cafeteria are. They are always ready to serve with a smile and are very helpful. Their friendliness and hospitality are a warm welcome to a splendid eating establishment Now on to Wyllie Market. I usually walk ininto a pretty clean store with a good selection, but let's examine my choices: If I decide on a sub, I will have to deal with the grumpy, rude lady behind the counter; ordering some fries will mean I stand there for ten minutes before someone notices me and then waiting even longer for my food; ordering the special of the day means feeling like I am wasting the cook's tim, even though they are there to serve me. I think it's ridiculous that a simple thing like getting some foodturns into some big emotional event. I go in with a good attitude, smiling, and saying please and thank you, but in return all I get is sour faces and bad attitudes. I don't think the student body is asking too much to be treated like real people. We all have hectic lives, but that doesn't mean you can just be rude for no. reason. I go to Wyllie Market to be served, not to feel like a problem. Giving a simple "Hello" or asking "How may I help you" (which the Union cafeteria ladies do) can make a huge difference. No one would expect to go to a restaurant off campus and get treated that way, so why is it like that on campus? Wyllie Market -- just be friendly and courteous. It might persuade me to get a $1,100 meal plan rather than a $800 meal plan. The Ranger Growl is a public forum for opinions and do not reflect the views of The Ranger News or UW-Parkside.

My name's Chris Laconte and I was a student at UW-Stout when we got the new Stout OneCard and OneAccount. That was a little over a year ago. Today every student at Stout carries an activated Stout OneCard and over 51 % of students have money m thetr OneAccount. As a member of Stout's student government, I got to work closely with the project team as everything was developed. So I know a lot about the card and the project (I actually use my card every day). The folks at Higher One, the company that is working with UWParkside to implement the new program, asked me to write to you to tell you more about what the program is, what you need to do to get ready for the new card, and how it will benefit you. Since they're a pretty cool company, not some stuffy old bankers, I thought - hey, why not. The new card is not a credit card Ok, so in the next few months you'll probably hear this a lot. The new card is NOT a credit card. Many people think 1t is because it has the MasterCard logo on it. The truth is, it is a DEBIT card. Because it has the MasterCard logo on it you will be able to use the card as a debit card wherever MasterCard is accepted. That's over 31 million merchant locations worldwide. I use my card to buy gas, groceries, late night snacks, and even to buy stuff online. All I have to do to be able to buy stuff is to have enough money in my OneAccount. The new card comes with a checking account attached, the OneAccount Another thing you'll be hearing a lot about is the OneAccount. Basically, it's a checking account that has no minimum balance, no monthly fees, and free Internet banking features that Higher One built specifically to meet student needs. Things like being able to go onhne and instantly send money to any other student's OneAccount - perfect for when you owe one of your friends money. Or, even more important the OneAccount makes it really easy to get money from your parents or relatives. Getting money from your parents or relatives is faster and easier Higher One makes it easy for your parents, family, or friends to send you money to your OneAccount. When you activate your card, you'll be able to invite people to "sign up to send money." They'll get an email with instructions of what they have to do. Basically they'll go to the www.uwpRangerOne.com web site, fill out some quick forms, and will be able to send you money from any checking account. The process 1s pretty easy. My mom got through 1t and that's the only way she sends money now cause it so easy for her to do. In fact, she sends me money now without me asking. Check out the program web site at www.uwpRangerOne.com The web site that Higher One creates for the card program is different from any banking web site you've seen before. First, it's created especially for UW-Parkside. From the colors to the information about ATM's, to the card office hours the web site is completely customized. Second, you can do almost any banking transaction online. This includes things like sending a wire transfer, or getting an official check (you usually need an official check when you buy a car). And of course you can always check your online statement to see (continued rm next nave) bow much money you have and bow much you've spent. ,The OneAccount online statement is easy to read and doesn't include any bard to understand banking terms. Before the big site launches, Higher One will put up an informational web site where you can find out more about the features of your new ID card and the OneAccount. Your meal plan and flex account will work on the new card I understand that the current Ranger OneCard allows you to make debit purchases through the Bear Bucks account and also is used to access your meal plan. With the new card you'll be able to do the same thing. Once you activate it, the meal plan and Bear Bucks account you accessed using the old card will now be accessed using the new card. It's that simple. Oh, another thing, I heard that Bear Bucks will now be called Campus Cash and the meal plan will become the Dining Plan. Why does a university like Stout or UW-Parkside choose to work with Higher One to create a new 0neCard & OneAccount program At Stout, and I' II asswne that the reasons at Parkside were similar, there were two main reasons the university chose to create the new program. First, the university wanted to give students the option of using new services. Giving every student, faculty, and staff member the option of a no fee checking account linked to the ID card was the next step in the development of the ID card program. Giving students more choice in how they receive financial refunds was also considered a Positive benefit for all. Second, the university benefits by simplifying the financial refund process. The university no longer writes financial refund checks, this makes things run smoother and creates cost savings for the business office (at least, that's what I've been told). How you receive a financial refund from OW-Parkside will change Like I said above, part of the reason a university implements a OneAccount and OneCard program is to simplify the financial refund process. That sounds scary, but basically this is what it means for you. When you activate your card, you choose a preference for how you want to receive a refund from the University. You can choose to get it directly into the OneAccount (this is the fastest way to get access to the money and about 72% of students at Stout choose it - including me), choose to have it electronically sent to another bank, or have a paper check mailed to you. Then, if you ever get a refund - Higher One sends the money to you in the way you chose when you activated your ID card. You can get checks for the OneAccount One piece of advice I would offer is to order checks for your OneAccount. Yeah, there's a charge for checks, but if you 're going to get your financial refund money and use some of it to pay rent you might need checks. I don't use checks that often - I even pay my cell phone bill with the card - but it's nice to know I have them. There will be ATMs on campus for fee free cash withdrawals I know one of worst things about banking these days are ATM fees. Well, Higher One will be putting ATM's on your campus and when you use your Ranger OneCard to draw money at them there's no fee. There's even a rewards program where when you use your card you'll earn free stuff Another feature of the new Ranger OneCard will be the OneRewards program. Higher One signs up local merchants who want to give you a reward for shopping at their business. These usually include stores like restaurants and bookstores. Then, when you use your Ranger OneCard to buy stuff at those stores you will get points for every dollar you spend. You will be able to track your points on the web site and trade the points in for gift certificates and merchandise. What you need to do The process of implementing the new program and getting new ID cards to everyone at the university involves your attention. Higher One will work hard to make sure that any problems that come up are quickly corrected. Internally, their motto is "There is a way" and they really mean it. The most difficult part of the implementation is the final step, where you get your new ID card. Higher One mails the ID card to the address that the school provides them as your mailing address. They produce the card with the photo that the university has on file for you. So here's what you need to do. Check your address It's really important that the address you have on file with UW-Parkside is the one where you want to receive your new Ranger OneCard. Check out the information box to see exactly how to check or change the address that will be used. Make sure you have a photo for your ID on flle You don't want to have a big black X instead of your photo. Trust me. That's what might happen if you don't have a photo on file when Parkside sends the photo's to . Higher One before the cards are produced. Again, check out the information box to see how to check if you have a photo on file, and if you don't how to get one taken. More about Higher One This last summer, I learned a lot about Higher One when a spent the summer as an intern at their head- How to Check or Change Your Address and Photo To check or update your address, go to: The Student Records Office - Wyllie Hall To verify your photo is on file, or to get a photo taken go to: Toe Ranger OneCard Office - Student Union Note: You can also change your address through UW-Parkside's online registration process quarters in Connecticut. UW-Parkside is the company's 8th university client and over I 00,000 students have ID cards created by Higher One. Unlike large corporate financial companies and banks, Higher One is completely dedicated to students and higher education. They don't have some big bureaucracy and are happy when students provide constructive criticism of the card an account. The company doesn't charge the university for implementing the new service. They make money every time you use your ID card to make a MasterCard debit purchase (don't worry - the money comes from the merchant, not you) If you're a student who's interested in working with the project team during and after implementation, you should email one of the company founders, Sean Glass (sglass@higherone.com). More information will be distributed I hope that all this infonnation is useful. I really think you'll like the new card and OneAccount. I love using the Stout OneCard and OneAccount. I only have to carry one card. I can use it almost anywhere. I can get cash with no fee at ATM's on campus. It really does make my life easier. There will be more information coming from both Higher One and UW-Parkside. Make sure to check it out so that you will get the most benefits from the new card and OneAccount. Chris Laconte UW-Stout Student Class of 2004 tJPARKSiDE OneAccount Services: 1-866-UW-RANGER (1-866-897-2643) www.uwpRangerOne.com =:o;..,-;: I-IIGI--IEJPNE MEMBER FDIC Pages THE RANGER NEWS A student on the 32-year program By Henry Gaskins A common sight at the University of Wisconsin- Parkside, 71-year-old Bill J. Turner totes his bookfilled backpack, making his way to class. Turner is on the 32-year program at UW-Parkside (a tenn he made up), and he truly loves being a student again because it keeps him physically fit and intellectually stimulated. "The main thing is that I'm happy," said Turner. "I really just enjoy learning." Turner lives about one and a half miles from the school campus, to which be rides his bike five days a week. "l have a big, thick down coat and a face mask that keeps me warm in the winter," Turner said. "I don't like to miss class, but sometimes if it snows heavily and the roads are really bad, I'll just stay home. It doesn't really have an effect on my grade, though, because I only audit my classes. It just means I miss the intellectual stimulation. And I do; I miss it." Along with riding his bike to·school, he gets his exercise by"walking around campus, from class to class. He also plans to work out at UW-Parkside's Sports and Activity Center. "I've got to wait a little bit before I can start working out," Turner admitted because he recently had surgery, "but I'll be over there." Before Turner started auditing courses at the university in Fall 200 l, he took a computer course at Gateway Technical College in Racine. Computers are one thing Tomer said he could never get used to. "A friend of mine (at Gateway) noticed I enjoyed being in class, and recommended that I audit courses at UW-Parkside. I came to the campus about three days before the Fall 2001 semester started and was enrolled just in time to take classes." Since then, Turner has never looked back. When he looked through the course catalog deciding what classes he wanted to take, Turner drew a star next to each course he was interested in. "There were more than 300 classes that I thought sounded interesting," Turner said while chuckling. "Now how can you do that? I figure if I average ten classes a year, it will take me just over 30 years. So I plan to continue until I'm well over I 00 (years old)." Thus, the 32-year program. "I like a variety of classes. I take a lot of history, quite a bi~ o! science, a couple English classes, and recently a cnmmology course," said Turner. Turner always enjoyed learning and has been a dedicated student. In 1955, Turner earned a bachelor's degree in physical education and recreational administration from the University of Illinois. Afterward he trained to be a pilot for the Air Force and earnetl'a master's degree in edu_cation in 1959. He said he is glad to have the opportunity to take classes at UW-Parkside ' Wedn • HtslMhtl £no Mot ...... Tllursdl w ....... W•r Room Frida - -•ot ....... -..eo, but he has an advantage that most students do not. "I get to be with professors who are really good; they're challenging," said Turner. "But yet, I don'~ have the frustration that some students have, because I audit everything. I don't have to worry about, 'Oh gee, I have this test tomorrow, I have to stay up all night.' But I do ta~e most of the tests, and I write many of the papers. Just for mtellectual stimulation. I was discouraged recently, because on the first test in my History of Medicine and Science class I received an 'F plus'. I just mixed up the essay questions, which accounted for most of the points on the test. But a lot of students would jump off the curb from that. I don't have to worry about that." Sipping coffee out of his UW-Parkside "Student Life" mug, Turner said he loves to participate in class. "Probably too much," he said. "The way I sense that is because some of the professors will say, 'Just a minute, Bill' or 'I'll get back to you on that, Bill."' Turner taught high school biology and physical education during his late 20s and early 30s. He said second to learning, teaching has always been one of his favorite activities. "My favorite thing (while teaching) was when a chitd's eyes lit up, and their whole face changed," said Turner, "as ifhe finally understood math or science for the first time. I think they call that the miracle of first illusion." Being a teacher didn't last long for Turner, however. He worked for a stockbroker and became an investment banker for a while, making his fair share of money. After his wife died about seven years ago, he gave most of his money to his three daughters and donated some to public institutions such as the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. "It's a great thing to know the game of the stock market," said Turner. "But if I could do it all over, I would be a t~acher forever. I made enough money in my day. I liked takmg people to ballgames and dinner and paying for everything, but I don't need to do that anymore. My greatest ac_complis~ent was raising my three daughters with my wife. Now I Just want to do good for society and be self-productive." . Another part of why Turner loves being a student, especially at UW-Parkside, is his camaraderie with the students and faculty. "I meet so many people, and they're all very friendly," said Turner. "And where else do you get the chance to talk one-on-one with the chancellor? See, I think some stud_ ents downgrade Parkside because they're under the impression that Madison is the pinnacle of colleges. But try to talk to the chancellor there. You'd probably never see him." · Turner is part of the Parkside Adult'Student Alliance (PAS~), ~nd be said he would like to be part of more student orgamzat1ons. "A couple guys last year wanted me to try to get a seat on the student government senate," said Turner. "So I sat ~n a PSGA (Parks\de Stu~ent Government Association) meetmg. It _was rea!ly mterestmg and I wanted to do it, but I read about 1t more m the by-laws and found that you have to be -Cllofl oc.r,o. ... Joli•- .

I Turner said his age doesn't really affect hts schoolwork because he is so motivated. But recently Tlllt er got lost and was stumbling around the OW-Parkside campus unsure of the time and date. "l thought, 'What the hell is the matter with / me?'" said Turner. "Then I thought it might be Alzheimer's disease starting or something, so I immedial ly called the Kenosha healthcare center to be evaluated. They gave me a number of tests and said it was a little to early to tell, but my doctor did say that going to school was probably one of the best things I could be doing to delay the effects of Alzheimer's, if I did have it. You know, if I was just staying at home playing cards and sleeping it might set in more quickly, but it comes back I, the intellectual stimulation and camaraderie with so man) people; that's what really keeps me awake and aware." Turner is having more extensive tests done in thel upcoming months. He said he is concerned but not too worried about it. "As long as my mind is fu lly functional l want to be using it," said Turner. "You can add that to the list of reasons on why I go to school here." Turner has completed two years at UW-Parkside, an? seems to walk around campus with pride in what he IS domg and a cheerfulness that shows his high spirits. "I'm really happy at this po int in my life," said Turner, " and it's mostly because of Parkside." • -- page9 Come work for The Ranger News We need news writers, sports writers, feature writers, cartoonists, photographers, and page editors.

THE RANGER NEWS Executive-inResidence By Josh Kurtz Do you know about the Executive-in-Residence training program here@ UW-P? I didn't know about it until I heard about it from the dean of the School of Business and Technology, Marwan Wafa. The program began about a year and a half ago. it provides the opportunity for students to meet and ask questions to a prominent business leader in Southeastern Wisconsin. The executive-in-residence program brings in successful business leaders from the area and allows students to learn about decision-making processes in a real business environment, the types of difficulties that businesses face, and how what we learn in school becomes useful in real world situations. The executives also address the state of the economy, job market, and some advice for future graduates in dealing with challenges in the business world. Past executives who have participated in were David Rayburn, CEO of Modine manufacturing company, Jerry Ryder, CEO of In-Sink-Eratot', and Karen Johnson, CEO of Karen Johnson Productions, currently known as AHA Studios. According to Professor Wafa, this program is a motivator for some students who are to become leaders in the business world. The next Executive-in-Residence session is on November 18th in the Student Union Cinema. The structure is as follows: 7:30am-- About 20 of the top-performing business students meet the day's executive in residence. November 18th's executive is Ed Emma from Jockey International. 9:30-- Open session for all students who would like to attend. October 30, 2003 EARN CASH TODAY AND HELP SAVE LIVES!

Walking around campus, l have seen more Chicago Cubs hats, shirts and jerseys than at Wrigley Field. I am 22 years old, have been watching nearly every Cubs game since I was six, and have witnessed more bad baseball than a person my age should be allowed. Now that the Cubs are in the National League Championship Series (NLCS), the entire world is looking at my favorite team and admiring how great they are. It is a weird feeling. I think that the best way to describe how it feels to be a Cubs fan is by sharing my emotions during the deciding game five of the divisional series with the Atlanta Braves on October 5. Leading into the game it was simply a time to be anticipatory, worrisome, and nervous. Since the previous night's loss, all the Cubs fans wanted was for game five to start and for them to try winning the series. It was also a nervous time because after that game, it was possible that the season could have been over, and on a sour note. The Cubs scored a run in each of the first two innings and held Atlanta scoreless. When Alex Gonzalez hit a home run in the second inning to increase the lead all I could think was, "Is this actually going to happen? It's actually the Cubs that are leading this game ... this isn't supposed to happen ... history tells us we are . supposed to lose this game." When the Cubs went up 4-0 in the sixth inning it seemed time for celebration. I have seen thousands of games during which a team was leading by this much late in the game and they still won. During this, I kept telling myself that I am a Cubs fan, and in the back of my mind lay the thought that this is somehow going to cause heartbreak and disaster. This thought proceeded throughout the next 4 innings as well. When the bottom of the ninth inning came and the Cubs were leading 5-1 and on the cusp of winning their first playoff series in 95 years, my mind (and a lot of Cubs fans' minds as well) was still believing that somehow this would end poorly. History has repeated itself too many times. When Andruw Jones UW-Parkside Men's Basketball team names new head coach By Russell Harris obtain their degree. struck out to secure the victory for the Cubs, a rash of emotions ran through Cubs fans' minds. There was relief that they actually did not blow this game like some others. There was ecstasy in that we got to witness a piece of baseball history. Now there is anticipation that the Cubs are actually favored in the NLCS to go to the World Series. There is exhaustion from watching a team lose for so long, and then finally win something. This is how l know that this is something special that Cubs fans are experiencing: When the deciding game ended on Sunday night at about 9:50, I started flipping through some of the news stations. As it turns out all four major news stations (ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX) preempted their newscasts so that another child soon. they could cover the celebration in Chicago. There was not a weather report or a business report for close to an hour after the nightly news usually begins. The Chicago Cubs actually postponed the nightly news. I have never seen anything like that before. Not to jinx things, but like I said ... it must be special. Bristol native Luke Riegel is the new UW-Parkside Men's Basketball head coach after working as an assistant coach for the team over the'past three years. Reigel earned a comprehensive Social Science degree and a Masters ® To put in the time and dedication it takes to be a nationally recognized basketball program at the NCAA II level. ® To be the best overall person that they can be by spending some time getting to know those who are not involved in athletics like their professors and have a full collegiate experience.

He pointed out that it's a chance to put the books aside for a night and to have a good time and to cheer on the Rangers.

The coach encourages students to stay at UW-Parkside for the weekend and to take in a coupl_e of g~eat, com~etitive bask_etball games. Reigel descnbed his team this year as, "mtense."

The action scenes are explosive, The Rock and Seann William Scott act. take their shirts off, and Christopher Walken is just as creepy as ever. I The basic premise reads like your typical action film of today; a man hires give this film a rating of four out of five stars. a Los Angeles bounty hunter named Beck (The Rock) to travel to the Amazon jungle to retrieve his smart-mouthed, dimwitted, double-dealing son, Travis (Seann William Scott), who has been leading a life of adventure in Brazil. Travis is reluctant to leave, and when he tells Beck about hidden goldmines, the two join forces and head to Helldorado. It is there that they encounter a mysterious woman (Rosario Dawson) and the town's halfcrazed fortune-hunting leader (Christopher Walken). The film manages to actually balance comedic elements evenly with the action scenes to create a very effective harmony. Even Christopher Walken The Return· of Horror By John Poppe After last year's offerings of horror films like the horrendous American version of Japan's "The Ring" and the gutwrenchingly horrible "feardotcom", I had my doubts about 2003. I'm a horror film fan and I always have been. I'm a sucker for a graphic gorefest. And the feeling of dread only intensified in earl February 2003, when I saw "Willard". Basically a man is in control of a bunch ofrats and he makes them do his bidding. Oh wow. I'm totally freaked out by that concept. I pretty much gave up on 2003 as being just another offering of the same formulaic straight-to-video slasher kill-fest. Those were my unhappy thoughts throughout the first few months of 2003 and then summer finally arrived, bringing with it the early summer blockbusters. None really caught my eye until I saw a preview for "Wrong Tum". I only saw the preview once and later found out . the trailers were pulled from TV and cinemas for being too 'disturbing'. I was instantly hooked. The film was more or less a 'back to basics' freaky gorefest. It reminded me of the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". The story was about a bunch of people trapped in the wilderness and getting slaughtered by these inbred redneck maniacs. It was truly awesome to see a throwback movie like this in the theater, but the most anticpated andbiggest horror blockbuster of the summer was on the horror horizon. Fast forward to August 15. The movie I've been waiting for over ten years is released. "Freddy vs. Jason" opened to huge numbers. The film grossed $36.4 million in it's opening weekend. By the time it was pulled from theaters, it grossed nearly $75 million. These munbers told the film companies that there was a serious market for horror again. People wanted more. Our next offering was not very good. "Jeepers Creepers 2" opened on August 29 to mediocre numbers. It wasn't exactly the greatest story and the characters weren't really that interesting. I started to freak out again. Had 2003 peaked with "Freddy vs. Jason"? Nope. Just like the old cliche says, "the best was yet to come". "Cabin Fever" hit theaters on September 12. This film just like "Wrong Twn" had lots ' and lots of gore to it. Love it or hate it, gore is what draws viewers. This is the bloodiest, and most disgusting film of the year ... so far. Believe me, that's a good thing if you're a horror fan. The film is a bout a group of college students on vacation at a cabin in the middle in the woods. After a few days they all start getting some kind of sickness that eats away their flesh. Simple plot, sub-par acting, and good old fashioned shocks. That's all a good horror film really needs to please it's die-hard fans. That brings us to right now. Of course I skipped a few horror films of this year like "28 Days Later" and "Underworld", but I would classify them as more science fiction than horror. On October I 0, "House of the Dead" is set to awaken the zombie genre in time for next years remake of George Romero's classic film "Dawn of The Dead". I predict "House of the Dead" to not do to well. It's another film based on a video game. Need I really say more? Possibly the biggest horror film of the year has yet to arrive. My guess is that on October 17, "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake will be an even bigger hit than "Freddy vs. Jason". I can't wait until opening night to see this one. I've heard only good things from advance screenings of this baby. It should be a classic. Finally on Halloween, "Alien" will make its return to theaters in a newly restored special edition with additional scenes never before seen in the original release. That will definitely make good money. So what does the future bold? Well, studios are scrambling to find scripts for horror films now. The "Nightmare on Elm Street" series is ready to add a new sequel which might actually be a prequel. "Friday the I 3th" is ready to throw in another Jason flick as well. I've also • heard rumblings of another somewhat odd crossover. ''Hellraiser" meets "Halloween", or as Beck (The Rock), Marlana (Rosario Dawson) & Travis (Seann William Scott) do their best to get along-and survive- in The Rundown. Photo: Myles Aronowitz © Universal Studios it's known to fanboys like myself, "Helloween". I'm not to excited for this one unJess it's done right. But the thought is intriguing. Rumblings of throwing Ash from "The Evil Dead" series into a "Freddy vs. Jason" sequel have also been talked about, but again that's another doubtful scenario. I don't really care what's in store for the future so long as horror stays alive and no more "Scream" films get made. I'm psyched to see if 2004 can top this year. It should definitely be fun to see the studios try. ' Ja~on Vorhees gets a good glance of his ugly mug in the mirror. With a resurgance in horror movies, youngers fans will have a chance to have the same nightmares as their older siblings. t'agt, 1,:, l HE RANGER NEWS Pre-Fabricated pop star's name makes the jokes so easy By Sandee Cornell _ I may just be um~illing to succumb to the songs I can tell will be granted nauseating hours of ~d~served ~tr-play, but I refuse to like the song "Take me Away" by Fefe Dobson, despite its hauntmgly catchy lyrics. In my qpinion, Fefe ~obson is much like a drug addiction; you somehow want her really bad, b~t yo~ know s~e 1s ba? for you. I suppose Avril Lavigne laced with Pink strung out wtth a !me of Billy Joel s accent would satisfy some peoples' cravings to label Canada's new "fireball" Fefe Dobson. _ . . However allaying 17-year-old Ms ~obso~ is for some people, she is equally as 1IT!tatmg to m~. '!he hard-ass 1~age she proJects 1s lost under her weak "nice girl" vocals. It 1s almost as 1f, Just when she 1s about to let go and rock out like her image denotes she backs down and decides to sing pretty. ' ~ suppose if she were a complete hard-ass, her style of music would just be a recycled version of an_ already played~ou~ Canadian fe~ale artist. Sure. I just cannot stray from the fact that her any pre-chorus smging works against her however unique it may pretend to be. Fefe's website biography claims that "she wanted to reach her full potential before bursting onto the scene." Judging by "Take me Away" and "Bye Bye Boyfriend" the two songs on her website, she released a premature album. ' Maybe Dobson will be lucky and the second-album-flop curs~will not infect her provided that she can strengthen her vocals, live up to her image, and generally be everything that she seems to want people to think she will be at first sight. Some readers may think l am being too harsh in judging her solely on two songs and deriving my initial opinion about all she is only from watching her video and judging her look, but I cannot agree. Fefe Dobson is a craving that I am not going to satisfy just because her song is incessantly playing on my mind's radio. She is just not that talented.

Things to know before the show By William Brinkman College life widens the views and experiences of many students. One of the things people really start to get into are the different styles of music and bands through the influence of friends coming from different areas of the state or country. After becoming a fan, many people choose to see bands live. UW-Parkside students usually attend concerts in Milwaukee, Madison or Chicago. If you're new to concerts or shows, there are a few things every music fan should know. First, know how you're getting there and getting back. If you're in Chicago, know where and what time the "el" runs. If you 're going to Madison or Milwaukye, find out where you're going to park and if it costs anything. Nothing could possibly ruin your night more than a terrible performance, but getting your car towed comes pretty close. Don't wear the shirt, hoodie, or hat of the band you 're going to see. Yes, you 're at the AFI show; Every one knows you like them because you are at the show. Of course there are exceptions if you get special privileges for wearing a certain tee, like AFI's fan club Despair Faction shirts can get you access to the sound check or meet and greet, but otherwise don't wear it and avoid being "that guy!" If you see a member of the band, try not to mob them. Tell them what their music has done for you and that you appreciate what they do. Ask them to pose for a picture and an autograph, but don't beg them for backstage passes or for some special alone time. They're people just like you and not pets for you to maul with affection or something to be physically ripped apart and shared among the angry masses of people. If you're a female, many men are unaware that crowd surfing it is not an open invitation to grope you. Also, watch out for those who subscribe to incredibly ignorant and misogynistic views of women in crowds and mosh pits. Aggressive jerks like them usually get punched or thrown when others see they're picking on specific people, but it's best to either avoid them or show that you're stronger and you're not to be trifled with. If you are in the pit, realize who is around you and who is playing. Kids at a Midtown show are going to be a lot less physically rough than people attending an Avenged Sevenfold show. People into hardcore bands enjoy pretending they're beating up imaginary people and throw punches or do silly spin-kicks as if they were a ninja fighting against the shadows. Give these people their space whenever possible. If you get elbowed, realize it was probably an accident and if you retaliate physically, both you and the person who hit you are needlessly going to get thrown out of the show over nothing more than a bruised ego. Take care of people around you. If a person loses_thei~ glasses, try to make sure people aren't running into them. If somebody falls, give them a hand back up. You'll appreciate 1t when somebody does that for you If you do want to crowd surf, don't kick your feet. If you 're going head first, tap the next person in front of you on the shoulder so they know you're coming. If you decide to ignore these wa~ngs, don't be swprised if somebody pulls you down and you hit your head on the ground. Oddly enough, people don't hke 150 lbs. of weight unexpectedly put upon their shoulders or people's thrashing legs kicking at their head. · Needless to say, don't do drugs or get drunk before the show. If you were paying $50 or more t? see Dave . Matthews Band, wouldn't you want to enjoy and remember the great time you had or would you rather 1t be a haze of dissonant chords and muddled vocals? If you don't know where to go to see a show, check out some of these websites: ~.ticketrnaster.co~, www.pollstar.com, www.mpshows.com, www.metrochicago.com, www.therave.com, the website of your favorite band, and the university radio station WIPZ 101.7 FM for concert announcements.

Not the fake Joe millionaires or twiggy bachelorette. I am talking about the people who press on and see themselves for who they really are. They're not afraid to admit their faults. Morals are important to them and they're busy every day constructing the laws by which they will live their life. Should those rules change through experience and application, they will move on and progress into a stronger person. They take risks by being fully honest with themselves and others emotionally. Confidence, not cockiness. If you haven't noticed, these qualities are great but we have to realize that most of them have to be taught or self learned through experiences, which takes time. We are not born with them. People aren't like that naturally. A lot of us experience differ- THE RANGER NEWS ent things and then choose whether we want to learn from them or not. Somebody may come off as carrying all those traits but it may be just to impress you. Can you tell the difference between these traits being real or are they there just to impress you? I know that people try their damdest to impress. Being able to spot an impresser can be easy if they are giving you a lame pick-up line, but sometimes people are sneaky without knowing it. Some may be charming; feeding you compliments every other minute or oversensitive asking how you feel every second or are they buying you things all the time? If they buys you enough then you will finally love them. Basically, these tactics are to impress you. Women tend to play off a man's sexuality by dressing very sexy, it's almost gross. If Exposing By Henry Gaskins I forget who said it, but there is a quote I think would be appropriate to start off this topic. "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." How true this is. Upon two people of attraction meeting each other, there is usually some sort of analysis of the opposite person going on in the mind. That's how it is for me, anyway. I think the only people- a person can truly be attracted to are the ones he or she finds interesting. They may be interesting for any different reason - looks, conversations, or even their enthusiasm in biology. But careful! Because if you find him or her too interesting, then you may have to make up for not being as interesting. So here it is: "The Art of Impressing". In my last column, I wrote that when I am with someone I find interesting, the Sexes: I usually find myself showing off, which is the idiot's way of being interesting. I remember jumping off my roof in third grade trying to impress the neighborhood g~ls. In middle school, my friends and I would fight in front of girls trying to. impress them. Incidentally, I usually lost these fights, but I always thought I had better charm with the ladies anyway. That's why I didn't start dating girls till I was 16, or maybe that was ~ecause I had a new way to unpress the girls, by driving a nice shiny car. Impressing can almost become an addiction, because when you give your energy into making people like you more, you ?Onstantly have to keep that image. People who want to always look nice may spend most of their time and money at the mall shopping for new clothes to impress_ with and such. Likewise if a person spends a lot of money on his or her car improving the engine, modifying the body, and installing subwoofers, the addiction never ends because there is always something left to allow him or her to impress more. Obviously, impressing in this sense is ridiculous and I personally believe people should focus on life around them more, and just go naturally about building their interesting side. But perhaps there are some ~es when impressing is · mdeed called for. For instance, a nightclub that says "dress to impress" nught have valid reasoning, because although maybe a person should have the freedom to go to the club in jeans and at-shirt, it would pro~ably be more appropriate 1f he or she showed that they actually took the time to make themselves look nice for others. you are watching ESPN all the time she probably hates it. They act as if they love playing video games but they don't. They try not to complain about their weight, but it bothers them, even the twiggy bachelorettes. This is their way of getting you to like them, they try to impress as well. What if the person you imagined in the beginning was trying their best to seek personal growth? When change hits them, as it will, they seek growth and transition. Everyone deserves to experience unconditional love from a person that is genui, ne, not someone who is trying to impress you with fake characteristics. However, someone will want to understand you for who you are. Not for who you think they want you to be. But are you aware of who you are? Do you try to seek growth when October JU, ;.!UUa change occurs in your life? Do you impress people by accommodating them? Are you doing things you think they may think are cool just to make them have an interest in you? When people look at a cool car they see color, rims, body frame, and then for ono. second they see the driver. When a woman wears that revealing dress people see the body and the dress but barely get the name. It is easy to get attention by impressing but it's whether people can be real enough to maintain it. The art of impressing is being real for yourself not for anyone else. If you have questions, comments, thoughts, concerns, etc., email Henry Gaskins at uw _paperboy@yahoo.com or Emily Rasbornik at real757@yahoo.com The Art of Impressing There is only one fully justifiable reason for impressing, and that is by accident. If a person can stay natural, do the things they are capable of, and stay on top of !he game, they might impress someone without trying. This is the key. Of course, this may mostly happen only when people underestimate your abilities, but that is a whole ' nother subject. FREE AIRLINE TICKET! with every Spring Break package! Limited time offer.

I spent two years on chem. IOI (~till felt lost), finally '.ou~d out wha~ biochemistry actually is the study of and thought 1t woul~ bett~r to maJ~r 1~ art or wnting (things that run in my blood). I talked myself back mto biology thinkmg a liberal arts degree was too common and that I would make more money in a bio. career. I also remembered that I have dreams of finding a cure for skin cancer or any cancer and I can't do that with an art major. I wonder, if it's so hard for me to understand and 'concentrate on chemistry'.1>i~logy becau_se I just wasn'~ meant to. Do you believe that each person has a set role m hfe, somethm~ each of us 1s supposed to do, say fate? If so, is it possible to break that mold and go m a complete opposite direction? -Creative Chemist Dear Creative Chemist, Wow. Complex question, simple answer. It's not what I think that matters what do you thir_uc about it? I'm n_o philosopher, but I believe people control their dwn lives and th_eir own fates. 9ett1~g bac½ to your question, I don't think that you are having a hard ll~e un~erstand1~g biology Just because that's your fate. Maybe making money a~d bemg unique aren t the best reasons ~o pursue a major you are having problems with, ~ut rou als? shouldn't choose a maJor y~u are unhappy with just because you feels !1ke 1t runs m your_ b!oo~. If you are bavmg problems with the basic introductory chemistry class, maybe 1t 1s time to look at other majors. Just keep in mind that there are more areas to study in college than biochemistry or art. I think it's wonderful that you would like to help cure cancer, but there are many ways to go about doing that, no m!~er_ w~at you end _up being in life. You might be a senior, but as you said, you have a _z1lh_on more credits to go, so it's never too late to start over, as long as you are gomg mto a field of study you really enjoy. I know this is going to sound very redundant, but you should make an appointment with your advisor, because they know your career goals and course history a lot better than I do.

Dear Emily, I am a freshman here, but I haven't declared my major yet. All my life I have wanted to be an eleme~tary school teacher, but now that I am in college and taking some basic general education classes, I am not sure what I want to do with my life. Do I need to declare a major right away? -Undeclared and Undecided Dear Undeclared and Undecided, . Obviously you got this far without declaring a major, so you don't need to nght no~. I would actually recommend that you don't for the time being, because you seem a l!ttle unsure of yourself and what you want to do. The world needs more teachers, but 1t needs people who are happy with their job more than anything. The average college studen! will ch~nge their major at least once, and I know plenty of people who have ch~nged _it three times or more. _It's not like it's a problem to change your major, yo~ basically Just ~II out a f?rm, but 1f you have taken a lot of the prerequisites for one m~Jor and then decide to switch, all your hard work goes down the drain. For all you w1s_hy-washy freshman out there, I would recommend doing two things: I. continue takmg your Breadth of Knowledge classes (BOK), as these are required for all majors and they_ may help you find out what field you would like to continue your studies in, and 2. Fmd out who your academic advisor is (its amazing the number of upper class s~dents wh? can't tell me the name of their advisor), and schedule an appointment with him or her right away.

HUMOR ·------------------------------------- A Hero Among Us By Tracy Medek There can be a great deal of controversy over the grading of papers in the university setting. Students often feel their work is judged harshly or unfairly. There is no easy answer to this dilemma, as was seen in the case of one UW-Parkside student named Mike. Mike is a typical undergrad, taking twelve credits and trying to make the grade, all while juggling his immense responsibilities as a host at Denny's restaurant. His 200 level English class soon became more demanding than he had anticipated. Still, Mike was confident that he could squeak by with a 'D.' "Maybe even a D+," Mike gloated. You can imagine Mike's astonishment when his paper was returned, and the letter 'F' was staring up at him in menacing red ink. "When I first saw that big ol' 'F', I was like, 'No way, man! This has gotta be a mistake! I stole some notes from a kid with glasses in class and skimmed those before throwing them in the garbage. I even brought my own pencil. I was ready!"' Mike recounted. Upon questioning the professor, Mike learned that his score was accurate and final. Aghast with the proceedings, Mike decided, on the spot, to do something about what he considered an immense injustice or as Mike phrased it, "Total bullsh*t." ' Then and there, Mike vowed to begin a form of protest in his English class. This protest consisted of arriving to class at least thirty minutes late each day with a "real pissed-off look on his face," Mike explained. Mike would then make his way to the last row of desks where he planned to take no notes what-so-ever, and sleep for the remainder of the period. "I've gotta show this lady I'm not gonna take her sh*t," Mike retorted. "Plus, this gives me time to hit on the girls in class. We talk all the time. I say 'hi' and they usually just smile and tum around and start whispering to their friends and laughing. l never knew I was such a funny guy!" exclaimed Mike. Mike predicts that his protest will be extremely effective, as soon as the professor notices his dramatic change in behavior and attitude. Prior to Mike's surprise 'F,' he usually only arrived twenty to twenty-five minutes late to class giving his professor a look of annoya~ce as he proceeded to the second-to-last row of desks. It was there that he doodled and pretended to take notes until the last fifteen J?inutes of class, which he pulled down bis baseball cap down low over his brow and reserved for "a quick nap to rest his brain." "After a week ofprotestin' she'll be beg~in' me to let her change ~y grade. I got 1t all worked out. .. " One can only hope that more students take their cue from Mike and become more assertive in the fight for fair grades. Pop Question Would you rather take a shower: a.) Before Sex b.) After Sex c.)

UW-Parkside Meets 2003-2004 Academic year Enrollment Targets By Dave Buchanan The University of Wisconsin-Parkside experienced a seventeen percent increase in new freshmen students for the 2003-2004 academic year. Figures released by the university also show a 2.5 percent increase in the total number of students attending and an improved retention rate. UW-Parkside welcomed 5,097 students to campus this year compared to 4,972 students at the start of the 2002-2003 academic year. The number of new freshmen grew from 832 last year to 973. Al Crist, the university's assistant vice chancellor for enrollment management, said the figure meant UW-Parkside was within the target enrollment set by the University of Wisconsin System. In addition to attraction more students, the university has also made progress in retaining students. Provost and Vice Chancellor Rebecca Martin said the university's rate of retention measures up well when compared to other institutions in the region with similar missions and student populations. "If you compare UW-Parkside to similar institutions in the Midwest, our retention numbers are quite strong," Provost Martin said. Provost Martin said UW-Parkside compares well to other regional public comprehensive universities with a large number of part-time and returning adult students and those with a large number of commuter students. She credits part of the retention gains to the university's efforts to improve the first-year experience for students. This is the fourth consecutive year UW-Parkside has met its enrollment target. • Page 18 THE RANGER NEWS ~~=-==--=-=========--:~==::~~~=======~==~ October 30, 2003 The Terminator is back, in California By Sonja Gonzales So what is this attraction that entertainers have with politics? Arnold Schwarzenegger is another entertainer-gone politician. Arnold Schwarzenegger is not the first entertainer who has turned to politics as a new career path. However, he may be the first to come into office because of a recall on the current politician. (Currently I 8 states allow recalls.) Governor Gray Davis was serving a second term and had just been voted' in when issues started arising. Gov. Davis had raised taxes and electricity costs, and he over spent. These are just a few things that caused Gov. Davis' recall and for the people of California take action against him. A few more than I 00 went for the seat, like Lt. Gov. Bustamante and Sen. Tom McClintock. So, why Arnold? I can remember as far back as President Regan; the movie star who became governor and then president. As far as I'm concerned he made a good president with his wife and First Lady, Nancy Regan, by his side. I will admit I didn't really experience the Regan era because I was too young to know about. A few more entertainers who pursued political careers, were Sonny Bono,Mayor of Palm Springs, CA and U.S. Congressman, Jesse Ventura, Mayor of Brooklyn Park, MN who then became Governor for Minnesota and also the only Refonn Party member to be elected governor, and Judy Martz, Governor for Montana the only female to be elected governor. I think people see these 'entertainers' as some sort of ray of hope. Tn the movies, or their lines of work, they are always around to save the day. Do we really think they can do it in real-life too? We want someone who is not a politician and are just like you and me. Someone who knows what is to struggle, because let face it Hollywood is no place to find a break. Do we think that just because they made it Hollyt wood they can change our cities, states and country? Are they really just like you and me? Can they make a difference in society? I guess a lot of us really think so. ~:,5rga-· · · ··: :nized • :crime in : :America : :takes in : ~over forty~ :billion : :dollars a : jyear and j ;spends : ;very little : :on office : ~supplies."( !--Woody :Allen "Better to be forgotten than sued."
