The terrorists and the current presidential administration have left a lasting impression on the minds of the students atUW-Parkside. On the third anniversary of the attacks, marry students remember with clarity the tragedy as it unfolded to be th e most significant event of the last three generations. With students' political consciousness at an all time high, UW-Parkside shows that the lessons of 9/11 were not lost on this campus. The memories of the hijacked planes crashing into New York's Twin Towers and the Pentagon, is an image that has imprinted itself upon millions of peo ple around the world. President George W. Bush was the commander in chief at the time, and was forced to take swift action. In response to one of the most lifedefining moments in American history, 69 percent of students interviewed feel that the President's actions in the immediate aftermath of the attacks were appropriate and positive for the morale and safety of this country. On the other hand, only 43 percent of students interviewed believe that President Bush's follow up into Afghanistan was dealt with in a fair and reasonable manner. "Our students understood the What are those consequences of what happened," recalls Dean of students Steve McLaughlin, who thought some students felt a personal call to action to become involved. After the 9/11 attacks, the national job market opened in the security field. From Sky Marshals to airport security, America felt the need to be safer and more secure. The UW-Parkside administration even had to review its own policies and procedures toward dealing with a wide spread alert, according to McLaughlin. Awareness for spreading critical information to the student body became a top priority. Although some procedures were already in place, the Blue Boxes? On Page M 4 administration wanted to make sure that the students' safety was as well protected as possible. Even with all the attention given toward security, only 48 percent of students interviewed feel safer then they did after the second anniversary of 9/11 last year and 70 percent still believe that America will suffer another major terrorist attack within the next five years. Although the United States identified Osama bin Laden as the mastermind behind the terrorist attacks, today he remains at large. Of the students interviewed, only 35 percent believe that the U.S. will find bin Laden. Yet 68 percent still feel that his capture should be a top priority for this country. With this in mind, 57 percent of students have less faith in the administration than before the terrorist attacks to take moral and appropriate action that represents its citizens. "The aftermath of September 11th is something that Americans will deal with for decades to come," says one student, "immediate action needed to be taken and we did that as a country." UW-Parkside students rallied together after the attacks and every body seemed a little more united. Some donated blood, while others contemplated enlisting in the armed forces. Either way, it was a life-defining moment for every member of the campus community. " Six degrees of separation" seemed to take effect, because a lot of students seemed to know someone who knew someone that was directly affected by the attacks. Although the immediate fear and agitation have worn thin, UW-Parkside still remains a socially accepting campus of diverse students. When asked whether or not 9/11 should be a national holiday, 52 percent of students replied, "Yes." Most felt that it would be appropriate as a day of remembrance and a celebration of freedom, not a day of mourning. With mixed feelings towards 9/11 and the current Presidential administration's handling of the situation, 100 percent of eligible voters interviewed, said they plan to vote in the upcoming November 2 Presidential election.

University of Wisconsin-Parkside's Student Newspaper 4 The Ranger News September 11, 2004 New Emergency Boxes: The Blue Light Special BY TAL GOLDWATER UW-Parkside has taken an extra step this summer to make the campus safer. Twenty-five new emergency boxes were installed throughout campus. These boxes are for people to use if help is needed from the UW-Parkside police in an emergency situation. The boxes are all linked to a system that tells the police where the call is coming from so they can be there within minutes. "They work on a radio frequency," said Mike Marzion, UW-Parkside police chief "So when somebody pushes the emergency button, that box will automatically broadcast in a voice to our dispatcher. It says 'Emergency at call box 101, and gives the location." As soon as the button is pushed, the blue fight on the top will start to flash, so the officer can spot it easily. As the officer is immediately responding, the dispatcher will be verifying the emergency and coordinating further emergency responses, such as if an ambulance is needed, according to Marzioa "The dispatcher can control the box," said Marzion, "If she doesn't want them to talk, she can prohibit them from tying up our radio frequency. So if it were a prank call and you push the button and sing me a song, it doesn't work." Another use for the boxes is a PA. system. The dispatcher can push a button at the station and talk on all of them throughout campus. "If we had a tornado or a missing child or something like that, we can make an announcement," said Marzion. The call boxes are always on in case of emergency, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Marzion said, "we are going to be veiy, very, very hard on the people that prank them. It ties up our radio frequency, so my concern as police chief is that our officers could be asking for help or needing to use the radio in a real emergency." All in all, the UWParkside Police Department hopes for During the summer, 25 emergency call boxes were installed all over campus. mature cooperation with the entire campus community, so the boxes can be used for what they were installed for, emergencies. UW-Parkside Resident Advisors and RHA Members Volunteer at King Community Center in Racine BY HENRY GASKINS On August 28, the UW-Parkside resident advisors and Residence Hall Association members volunteered at the King Community Center in Racine, putting smiles on children's faces for a day. The volunteers set up games like dodge ball, kickball, basketball, egg races and a cakewalk - even a water balloon fight broke out during a warm part of the day. There were also volunteers giving the children manicures and new hairstyles. A table was also set up for the children to make their own drum or to try to play a real tambora drum. Each child who participated was able to earn a ticket, and at the end of the day they could cash in their tickets for school supplies. "When we first got there, I was kind of dreading it," said Terrence Shaw, an R. A. at Ranger Hall. "But after we did volunteer and helped out the kids, it felt good, and I'm looking forward to doing it again." The volunteers are considering setting up a haunted house at the King Community Center just in time for Halloween this Jason Pinkowski, residence hall coordinator at the University Apartments, pushes October. children on a merry-go-round as he and more than 20 other UW-Parkside students volunteer at the King Community Center in Racine on August 28. 5 The Ranger News September 11, 2004 Bush Back In Wisconsin BY EMILY RASBORNIK On Friday, September 3, the day after the Republican National Convention, President George W. Bush made it a priority to stop at the Exposition Center at Wisconsin Sate Fair grounds located in West Allis, Wisconsin. George and Laura Bush entered the facility with a crowd chanting "four more years." Laura introduced her husband as someone who has "liberated millions, safe guards children, spreads opportunity and deals with struggles with strength and conviction." Laura said, "He is a man with the vision and desire to lead our country four more yearn." As she turned to give her husband the microphone, they both leaned in for a quick hug and smooch. President George W. Bush waved to all comers of the room, calmly- smiled and began his speech by saying he "will cany this state as well as our country ." He made a few jokes and made sure to comment about Lambeau Field and cheese. He then talked about how our current First Lady is and how "Laura should be First Lady four more years, because she is calm, steady, and compassionate." He thanked the other opening speakers, which included U.S. Sea Zell Miller, the Democratic senator from Georgia and Brian Lunde, co-chairman of Democrats for Bush, for attending the rally supporting him. "Our vision includes everybody," said Bush. The president then reminded everyone "This is the time for choosing, if we lead with uncertainty the world will drift towards tragedy...He will gain and retain the White House...we should be less dependent on foreign sources of energy..." He wants to "keep taxes low and get the tax code under control." He also looked at education as a very important part of life and said he wants to help more Americans attend college by expanding Pell Grants and starting early intervention programs. He said his strengthening of Medicare came with the help of "one of the most important partners, former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson." Bush then thanked the crowd for training Tommy. Bush commented on the 144,000 new jobs that were created in the month of August alone. "The national unemployment rate has decreased to 5.4 percent, less than that of a year ago," he said. "We've overcome a recession, corporate scandals and terrorist attacks. Our economy is growing and it is getting stronger. If America shows uncertainty and weakness in this decade, the world will drift toward tragedy. This will not happen on my watch," Bush said, as the crowd broke into chants of "USA! USA!" Bush then commented on Iraq and said he "saw a threat, congress saw a threat and the UN saw a threat. We must take threats more seriously, and I will defend America every time. We are steadfast in the pursuit of freedom and we will prevail every time. Freedom is powerful and is for everyone in the world...Japan was a former enemy and now became a friend. Liberty converts enemies into a friend...We are striking abroad so we do not have to fear them at home... We have lead, many have joined, and America and the world can be safer." "I'm running for president with a clear and positive plan to build a safer world and a more hopeful America," "Part of our compassionate conservative agenda says that government should help people build their lives, not give them orders on how to mn their lives." "There is a clear difference in philosophy in this campaign, if you listen carefully, my opponent is running to expand government. We're running to expand opportunity." An estimated 500,000 protesters filled several city blocks in New York City at the begi nning of the Republican National Convention on five days earlier, but a crowd of less than 100 protesters stood outside the State Fair Grounds trying to rally against President Bush while he was there.

The Ranger News September 11, 2004 New Voters Project Calls 18 to 24 Year Olds BY TAL GOLD WATER Students, staff, and faculty will see a new face in the halls this semester. He is here to get out the vote. His name is Don Pitz, and he works for the nonpartisan New Voters Project. He has a degree in political science from George Washington University in Washington D.C., and he worked for a grass roots campaign before starting with the new voter project at UW-Parkside. The New Voters Project is a nonpartisan voter registration campaign. Its aim is to register citizens 18-24 to vote in the up-coming election in November. "This is the laigest campaign of its kind in the histoiy of this country, with a goal to register over 500,000 collegeage voters," said Pitz. "Not just college students, but folks who are in the 18 - 24 demographic. Our basic motto is "make them (politicians) pay attention to us." The reason for that is because college age students between the ages of 18-24 are the lowest percent when it comes to voting. Only about 36 percent of people in this age bracket are registered voters. The percentage of total votes from this age bracket is far less. Speculation as to why politicians make things like Medicare, social security and prescription dmgs such a priority includes the fact that 70 percent of senior citizens vote. So, it's thought that most politicians answer to the key demographic of voters, while education and rising tuition cost questions are left unanswered. "They (politicians) are not talking about issues like the high price of higher education, the price of text books, finding a job after college," said Pitz. "Those sorts of issues that matter to us." The New Voters Project is only trying to raise the percentage of collegeage voters by five percent, according to Pitz. It may not sound like a lot, but Pitz said politicians would definitely notice numbers like that. "In Wisconsin, the goal is 85,000 registered voters." To do that the voter project has a staff in Wisconsin of almost 30 volunteers. In addition Pitz said, "Wisconsin is really the flag ship of the New Voter Project." Wisconsin is one of five states the new voters project is targeting. The other four states include Iowa, Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. "Politicians want to get reelected, and that's a numbers game," said Pitz. "So we want to change the numbers, we want them to actually start to talk about the issues that we care about." In order to reach the goal for the New Voters Project, Pitz said he is going to need as many volunteers from UW-Parkside as possible. An internship opportunity is currently being set up, so students who want to volunteer may be able to earn academic credits. He can generally be located around the Parkside Student Government Association Office Don Pitz, representative for the non-partisan New Voters Project, is seeking out citizens from 18 to 24 years old in an effort to register more young people to vote. in Wyllie Hall, or registering students to vote throughout the hallways on campus. Overall, Pitz made it clear he just wants young people to know that they can make a significant difference, and his job while he at UW-Parkside is to help students realize and implement New ID Numbers Submitted by Christine Diane Reardon Administrative changes over the last school year caused a great deal of confusions for many students. First we received new Ranger Cards with new ID numbers. Then we were told these new numbers were not ID numbers. Finally a new student administrative system was put in place called the SOLAR system. With a few more changes yet to be implemented, many students are at a loss. There is a method, however, to this apparent madness. The switch to PeopleSoft and its accompanying changes has some significant securitybenefits for Parkside students. Student ID numbers were initially issues to protect Social Security numbers from falling into the wrong hands. Unfortunately with student ID numbers printed on Ranger Cards, they were left vulnerable along with sensitive student information. The new Ranger Cards contain a credit card number. They also have a nine digit number prefixed by the letter P. This number is the 7th through 15th digits from the credit card number. This P number will be used for all normal student access requirements and has been in place in the library for interlibrary loan since January. If you loose that idea. "With all seriousness, I don't care how you vote," said Pitz, "but I definitely want you to vote. If politicians aren't talking about issues that we care about in this election, they are definitely going to have to next election." your Ranger Card it will be replaced by a new card with a new credit card and P number ensuring that stolen or found cards can't be used for nefarious ends. According to Richard Haskey, the Ranger Card administrator, this system provides UW-Parkside students with a higher level of security than arty of the other schools in the UW system they looked into when researching for the change. Starting with the fall semester all students will receive new student ID numbers. These numbers will consist of the last six digits of the old student ID number preceded by a 1 for a total of seven digits. Students who are new to UW-Parkside will receive these numbers via a letter in the mail. If you have any personal questions regarding this issue you should address them to student records. At this time the computer help desk is working out using the new student ID numbers rather than Social Security numbers as identifiers on scan-tron tests. At this time there is no time frame in which we can expect this to happen. On the plus side, the transfer of old information to the new SOLAR system is proceeding ahead of schedule. 7 The Ranger News September 11, 2004 Feature How in the Hall Did They Get Their Names?

Wyllie chose the name Paikside it was picturesque and non-political. Other names in consideration were UW-Kenosha and UW-Southeast. Wyllie thought those names would not hold distinction. Wyllie hired Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum to design the campus. They decided to make the library/learning center the "heart" of the campus. The design blends well with its natural surroundings. HOK has since built the Bradley Center, The Kohl Center at UWMadison, Oriole Park and Hong Kong stadium as well as other buildings around the world. The original parking plan was to have students shuttled to the campus from remote parking lots. Wyllie, the author of "The Self-Made Man in America: The Myth of Rags to Riches," died of a heart attack in 1947. UW-Paikside was still under construction when he died. UW-Parkside Women's Soccer Team Tunes Up For GLVC Title Defense BY RUSSELL HARRIS SPORTS EDITOR On August 21, around 125 spectators gathered at Wood Road Soccer Field to watch the UW-Parkside Women's Soccer Team take on Eastern Illinois University (EIU) in a three period exhibition game. Overall, the team looked very aggressive and played very hard. UW-Parkside scored its only goal of the day within the first two minutes of the game. Senior goalkeeper, Abbigale Wild, of West Allis, made a terrific save on a goal attempt by an EIU player at the 24:47 mark in the first period. UW-Parkside lead 1-0 after the first period. EIU tied period and took the lead for good with another goal at the 16:02 mark. Several players just missed on goal attempts for UW-Parkside. With 11:25 left in the third period of play, EIU scored their final goal of the day. The two teams practiced penalty kicks against each other at the end of the contest. The women's soccer team is coming off of a successful 2003 campaign where they won UW-Parkside's first Great Lakes Valley Conference championship in women's soccer and the team's first NCAA post-season bid, which also means that opponents will be trying harder to beat them. If you have never seen the UW-Parkside Women's Soccer Team compete, you are missing some very competitive, fast paced action. This year's team has several freshmen competing for playing time and nine players are returning who have game experience. Hopefully, the team can count on support from the student body and faculty. Make sure to get out to a game or two to have fun and make some noise! You will not be disappointed as it looks like it is going to be another electrify ing season for the Lady Rangers.

The weather was good despite the fact that mosquitoes were out in force. But even those pesky mosquitoes could not stop the discs thrown by World Champion and Stevens Point native, Barry Schultz. The course was set up in its most difficult configuration and Schultz shot five under par. The 143 participants did not have to qualify to make the field and the event was open to anyone who is a member of the PDGA. However, non-members were required to pay a fee to enter. The professionals played for money with first place receiving $350, second $220, and third $150. The amateur division was paid out in coupons that could be used with vendors who were present at the tournament. All divisions played two rounds of 18 holes each. Nine divisions were organized. On Saturday, the Pro, Pro Women, Pro Masters (over forty ), Pro Grandmasters (over fifty), and Advanced Amateurs played. On Sunday, the Amateur Division, Women's Amateurs, Junior's, and Amateur Masters played. Around 25 people gathered to witness the final outcome. Food and beverages were served in the Student Union for players and spectators. Tournament Director Paul Kuffel, said, "There was no one founder of this tournament, but a group of people came together after the course had been put in and started working on getting a tournament at UW-Parkside. This group includes DeAnn Possehl, Tamie Falk-Day, Ed Wallen, Dennis Miller and others from UW-Parkside along with local disc golfers Shawn Fallon, Craig Schaub and myself." Kuffel has been the course pro at UW-Parkside since its inception in 1999. He was unable to compete in this tournament because of his many duties as tournament director. When asked about his experience as a disc golf player, Kuffel responded, "I have been playing for 20 years and have been a member of the PDGA for 15 years. I play in the Pro Masters Division. I played in other tournaments over the summer and am the PDGA contact for the course here at UW-Paikside, but ( this has nothing to do with my skill level."

More than 1.3 million people in the United States will be diagnosed with some form of cancer in 2005. It was a sunny day as local disc golf players competed alongside players from the Madison, Milwaukee and Lake County, Illinois areas to play on one of the state's most challenging courses. For those of you who are not familiar with the game of disc golf, it is basically the same as golf; only players use a flying disc or a frisbee to reach the hole, or basket in this case. Strokes are counted as they are in golf. As a player progresses through the course, he or she must make the next shot from the spot where the previous shot lands. Tournament Director, UW-Parkside Admissions Counselor, Sergio Correa, who managed the event, is also an avid disc golfer. Correa was quick to thank others who helped him tremendously in making this event a reality including DeAnn Possehl, Craig Shaub, Shawn Fallon, Paul Kuffel and Dave Light. When asked if any UW-Parkside students played in the tournament, Correa said, "One of the main reasons there were not students involved is that we didn't get the event organized until sometime in June when school was not in session. However, we were able to raise $2,140 for the foundation. This put us in second place among the other tournaments held across the country. People were very generous." The players gave a $25 donation to enter and in return they received a player package which included an embroidered hat, an Innova Mini Disc, a custom stamped Innova Champion Edition Teebird TL, and a 24-Hour Marathon Sticker. Correa heard about the event after reading about it in Disc Golf World News. "It looked like something that might not be a bad idea, so we decided to give it a shot," said Correa. Four events took place during the day beginning at 9 a.m. including a singles tournament that had three skill levels at which participant's could choose to play under. The levels were amateur, masters (age forty or over), and professional (advanced amateur). Players played two rounds of 18 holes each. Participants had the option of playing for 24 hours consecutively. Although some players across the country did play for 24 hours at a time, Correa said, "We had some flexibility so the players were not required to play for 24 hours straight. Personally, I was out there from 7:30 a.m. until 1:30 a.m. the following morning and there were still some players out on the course when I finished." Correa played in the open division and finished third. "It was fun. The division I played in this event is a bit out of my league, but I thought seeing that it was my home course I would give it a try." "We had players out there who played over 100 holes throughout the day. We had some very good compliments about our event and we all had a lot of fun," said Correa. There was a hole-in-one by a man from Milwaukee in the morning round and there was a special Ace Race held where players received points for hitting the various parts of the basket from set distances. Correa's personal has been affected by cancer, "I've had family and friends that have had their lives affected by cancer. Fortunately, none of them were terminal cases. This was definitely a driving force of why I wanted to bring this event to UW-Parkside." All of the beverages were donated by the Student Union. The Student Union also got permission from the university so that the players could barbecue and about half of them did so. When asked for his opinion on why students, faculty, and others should play disc golf, Correa said, "If your looking for fun that is cheap, disc golf is free! The discs are inexpensive and to go out and play for fun you only need one or two of them. It is a great way to exercise and enjoy the campus. We have one of the best courses in the state and if you enjoy being outside and enjoy nature it is wonderful. It is a lot easier to find a Frisbee than it is to find a little golf ball!"

Many spectators were in attendance. The Rotary Club of Racine West and the Racine County Convention and Visitors Bureau sponsored the first annual Dragon Boat Festival to help raise funds for local community projects. Dragon boats are the largest flat-water racing canoes in the world and the sport is popular over the entire globe. The origin of dragon boat racing can be traced from events occurring in southern China more than 2,000 years ago. Originally, boats festooned with Dragonheads and tails were a symbol of fertility. They were a way of encouraging bounteous rains and a plentiful harvest. UW-Parkside employees, some of their family members and one student guided and paddled the 550 pound boat through the 400 meter course. It was originally supposed to be 500 meters, but due to sandbars in the racing area, it was cut to 400 meters. With the full crew on board, the vessel, which was rented through a Canadian company, weighed close to 4,000 pounds. The speed at which the boat raced is comparable to jogging a mile on land in less than six minutes. The crew of twenty-one held its practices on the Root River. Dawne Bogardus, UW-Paikside's Team Captain said, "We all had a blast and we did a great job. It was a terrific experience to participate in this event and to learn something new, woik together, meet all kinds of new people, and get some unusual physical activity." As one might imagine, the racing was pretty intense on team member's muscles. The UW-Parkside team finished first in the Education Division. Teams were grouped by types, and four other boats had the same classification of representing an educational institution. UW-Parkside won its first place trophy based on their finish within this grouping and finished 27th out of 43 total teams, leaving them in the middle one-third of the field overall. The team's practices on the Root River proved to be very valuable even though the river was a lot calmer than Lake Michigan was on race day. "Practices helped tremendously. We learned what we needed to do in general and learned how to work as a team, too," said Bogardus. Organizers of the Dragon Boat Festival Races provided teams with trained steersmen to help control the boats. The Racine Rotaiy Club sent six people to Florida for instruction and these individuals also assisted teams during their practice sessions. Three additional steersmen from Canada arrived on race day to help the teams out as well. Some team members also raised extra donations for Racine's Heritage Museum. Bogardus' main tasks were to find individuals to commit to racing, getting information from organizers, and turning this information out to team members and keeping team members informed about what they needed to be doing in preparation for the event. "Linda Busha from our Employee Alumni Committee helped with our initial paperwork and our Friday night parade coordination. John Mielke in University Relations assisted with paperwork and took care of team T-shirts. Erica Bates, an UW-Parkside student who works in the Graphics Department, designed the logo and the T-shirts, which team members were able to keep. Many others helped with pieces as well," Bogardus said. The festival also gave team members T-shirts as souvenirs, "A couple of team members from the Administrative Department also solicited some tokens of appreciation, and the Follet Bookstore and the UW-Paikside Food Service donated too," said Bogardus. As for next year, Bogardus said that the team would like to have more students involved and perhaps more than one boat in the race. The members of this year's team were Bony Benavides (UW-Parkside's lone student team member), Carol Kinsley, Chris Zanowski, Cynthia Jensen, Dave Buchanan, Dawne Bogardus, Diana Hirsig, Errol Schluter (Friend of an employee), Jana McLaughlin (Team Dmmmer), Joe Antennau (Spouse of employee), Karen Grabher, Karl Grabher (Spouse of employee), Mason Grabher (Son of employee), Linda Busha, Mike Marzion, Nicole Leipski, Penny Lyter, Sandy Puzerewski, Steve McLaughlin, Steve Carlson, and Tamie Falk-Day. Judging by the enthusiasm of the team and spectators it looks like the Dragon Boat Festival will be around for a while, if you missed the action this time, watch for the early publicity of this event next year.

BY: KATIE DYLEWSKI It's no longer imperative to know which star just got plastic surgery, who's hooking up, and who's currently in rehab for a nasty dmg habit. No sir, the current scoop is the oh-so exciting presidential race: So ... who's backing Keny, and who's backing Bush? With all do respect, one might compare the opinion of a celebrity (on a topic such as this) to asking your grandpa if your new glasses are too "emo." Considering the immense number of young and swing-voters, not to mention the trend-setting domino effect of Hollywood, are the facts concerning our country's future fading in the bright lights of A-lister endorsement? Clearly, the rich and famous have tremendous pull in all other areas of our culture, for example: low-rise jeans (Britney Spears), the neck-tie phenomenon (Avril Lavigne), and let us not forget the tmcker hat revolution, attributed to Mr. Ashton Kutcher. Pop culture has to start somewhere; and the rest of America is usually eager to follow. Though we all didn't run out and get the "Rachel' haircut, most of us considered it, right? MTV, which is the 18-25 demographic dream, is thriving on this upcoming election, coining it "The most important election of our lives"... turning their video awards into a "Voting-is-super-ultra-cool fest" while the stars discreetly (and some not so much) make their presidential choices public. Regarding the 2004 Presidential race: Is Hollywood using it's powers for good or bad? "It makes a real difference when performers and visual artists can use their talent as an attraction," said Marty Kaplan, researcher of politics and pop culture at the University of Southern California. Aside from casually acknowledging personal choices, some big name artists are have dedicated a great deal of money and time to their man. An organization called MoveOn - which is decidedly anti-Bush - is gearing up with Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, & Death Cab For Cutie, among many others, as they set out on a promotional tour Last Comic Standing Finalist Entertained Students At UW-Parkside In 2003 BY RUSSELL HARRIS Philadelphia native/comedienne, Tammy Pescatelli, sponsored by the Parkside Activities Board (PAB) came to entertain students on March 27, in Union Hall. On that night, Pescatelli's material included Wisconsin winters, "Cheese Heads," and comments on being a member of a Sicilian family. Little did the audience know at that time Pescatelli would become one of the last six finalists on the television show, "Last Comic Standing," which aired on NBC this summer. Thousands of comics participated in the competition. Although Pescatelli did not win, she said, "My goal was to finish in the finals. This show is a wonderful way for a comic to boost his or her career. Win or lose, I will still get a big hug from my mom." You may have seen Pescatelli's act on August 30, as the finalists from the first season of the show competed head to head against this year's finalists for a half a million dollars in prize money. Pescatelli also appeared on the television show, "Balderdash," on an episode that aired August 11. for Democratic candidate John Keny. MoveOn's "Vote For Change" revue will hit all nine swing-states, including Wisconsin. Actress Scarlett Johansson and Matt Damon are also pitching in. The two are powering online commercial ads for MoveOn. "MoveOn's campaign is a clever way of leveraging star power to get people to pay attention to the message." Kaplan notes. It's hard to say whether a red carpet campaign trail is a good thing. Although mixing business with pleasure usually has a reputation of making everything messy, taking credit away from the mind of a star could be an ignorant move. Whether speaking up out of admirable concern for the USA, or jumping on the glittery bandwagon of political activism, we little people have to remember that celebrities are people too. People with able minds and concern for the condition of their country. The war in Iraq has prompted the otherwise very politically uninvolved (myself included) to sit up and take notice of Fall TV Premieres Joey September 9,8 p.m., NBC Jack & Bobby September 12,9 p.m., The WB CS1: New York September 22,10 p.m., CBS Wife Swap September 29,10 p.m., ABC Desperate Housewives October 3,9 p.m., ABC what's happening and why. Perhaps P. Diddy and the celebrity gang are capable of harboring anger and pride too. It's a possibility. Just as Michael Moore used the power of cinema to push his ideas in "Fahrenheit 9-11," the general public reserved the right to pick and choose what they took from it, or to not see it at all. We aren't mindless drones, and I can safely assume that the morals of young voters won't be swayed by Ashlee Simpson or John Mayer. Some Americans just happen to have media draw at their fingertips, and use it to contribute what they can. Either way, I find it pretty encouraging that this generation will shuffle into a movie that showcases current events regarding our president - instead of Lindsay Lohan in the newest movie about short-shorts. As long everyone stays involved, paying most attention to facts and issues, I think we might be alright with the beautiful people putting in their two cents. "I feel this is one of the most critical elections in my lifetime," Springsteen told The Associated Press in the most overtly political statement of his career. "This wasn't one that a concerned citizen felt comfortable sitting out." For all who are curious anyway, here is a short fist of who currently likes who: Yay Bush: Pat Boone, Kid Rock, "The Rock," Britney Spears, Lee Ann Womack, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jessica Simpson, Mel Gibson, and Dennis Miller Yay Kerry: Jack Black, Fat Mike & NOFX, Ben Harper, Dave Matthews, Whoopi Goldberg, Courtney Cox, Dixie Chicks, Chevy Chase, Dave Grohl, and Ben Affleck 13 The Ranger News September 11, 2004 — Up Coming Concerts — September 11 Bill Mahr - Skyline Stage, Milwaukee Lucky Boys Confusion - Illinois University, Dekalb Cake - Oyster Fest, Chicago American English "Complete Beatles Experience" - Villa Park Fest Norah Jones - Milwaukee Theatre, Milwaukee PIC: Welcome Picnic - Petrifying Springs Park September 12 Kanye West & Usher - Bradley Center, Milwaukee Sister Hazel & Cowboy Mouth - Potowatomi Casino, Milwaukee Norah Jones - Chicago Theatre, Chicago Rick Springfield - Festival Park, Gary, Ind.

It's interesting to think about nature and the environment, especially if you consider the mass difference there would be if humans never inhabited the planet Pollution, global warming, and worries about the ozone layer destroy the natural order of the way Earth evolved to become a steady environment for all life and growth. And none of this would have occurred if the evolution of human greed had not overtaken society. By "'evolution of human greed," I mean the way a society mn by money forces its people to compete on what they can create. Factories billowing out smoke and SUVs that swallow up and destroy our natural resources are specific examples. Another competition that seems to contribute to the destruction of nature and our natural resources deals with vanity and the sudden necessity for electricity within the past 100 years, along "with the ownership of property that has become so important in the times we five in. Imagine the Native Americans, who never claimed to own land, but generally saw the earth as belonging to all life to survive on They hunted only what they needed, and utilized each part that they could out of the animals they killed. For instance, when they killed a buffalo, they not only ate every part of the meat but used the rest of the animal as well, making blankets out of the hide, signals out of the horns, whips out of the tail, and many other things. This can all be seen as creation, but note that it does not contribute to the destruction of nature. At no time did the Native Americans have to worry about conserving buffalo as a natural resource, because they did not needlessly and wastefully kill. Now think about the European pilgrims who came to North America. One of the first things they did was claim a certain part of the land as their own. They hunted buffalo as well. But instead of utilizing the buffalo to the maximum potential, they killed them in mass quantities, took the meat they enjoyed the most, and left the rest in the field to rot. Could this be a reason you don't see herds of buffalo roaming across America anymore? Sure, they can be found in places like Montana, but when pilgrims started to take ownership of the land, the buffalo had no place of their own, thereby restricting their natural habitat. What I m getting to here is that there is a way for humans to work with nature, not against it. While many people see a car as a necessity to substitute for what would be a ten-minute walk, they probably don't have nature or our natural resources in mind. Likewise when people throw paper in a trash can, rather than a recycle bin. There is even a way to preserve the beauty of nature while still building structures within it. For example, the way the U W-Parkside campus sits on a natural prairie, and the architecture blends to that natural environment, complementing the natural setting rather than extinguishing it. If humanity can find a way to consistently utilize its resources to the maximum potential, the need to preserve nature will become a thing of the past. From the Donkey's Mouth Human Creation vs. Preserving Nature Creation: That which is produced or caused to exist, as the world or some original work of art or of the imagination; nature. (As defined by Webster's revised unabridged dictionary) Creation and constmction are two sides of the same coin. In order to create something in the physical world, you must use the tools of construction. Mankind has been a fan and avid student of creation and constmction since the beginning. Initially building small simple shelters to protect us from weather, then slowly becoming more advanced in our techniques. Now mankind's knowledge is catching up to its dreams and ambitions. These days, cityscapes and housing projects are a regular site almost anywhere you go in the world, providing its citizens with enormous opportunities. Nature has taken its next step of evolution through us. What are humans if not a form of Nature? Our buildings and roads are constructed in a natural way by ourselves in order to serve a purpose that best suits our civilizations. If an average person walked past a beaver's dam and contemplated its origins, it is unlikely that that person would come to the conclusion that the dam was unnatural. Our constructions are no different, although they are usually looked upon very differently. Generally, when people look at a building, they look at something that is taking away from nature, something that has replaced our natural world with a fabricated one. This is not quite the case. Humans and their actions are as much a part of the natural world as anything else. For example, just as a bird creates a nest to raise its young, so do humans. Mankind is not void of the natural world, we are next step ih it. What could possibly be more natural than creation? Perhaps a tree or a blade of grass? Maybe an ocean or the atmosphere? Well, all were created in some shape or form. I hardly think its fair for critics to call man-made construction unnatural considering we are as much a part of life as anything else. You wouldn't call a bird's nest synthetic simply because it didn't grow that way, so why wouldn't we extend that same ideology toward man made constmction. Different materials are certainly being used, but that stems from the logical side of humans that wants to improve on the previous lessons that we have already learned. Human beings ability to use logic and reason are the only real noticeable difference between ourselves and other animals that are considered to be part of something that mankind is apparently now excluded from. Now, I'm not saying that we should destroy all the forests around the world with a dimwitted justification of, "Hey man, it's all natural so don t worry about it, that would be ridiculous. However, I am saying that in the reality that we live with, it is often necessary to modify our natural surroundings to best fit our ever-growing needs. We must do this responsibly of course, as to not destroy all our resources or the often forgotten shared inhabitants of this planet, namely plant and animal life. When all is said and done creation is a step in nature, not the antithesis of it. What we build today is the next step in Earths evolution for tomorrow. 15 The Ranger News September 11, 2004 CLASSIFIED ADS (262) 595-2287 M uwp_ads@yahoo.com Classified Ad Rates 30 words for $5.00 and $0.25 for every additional word.
