The Commllllication Department's Senior Seminar class hosted its Hunger Strike 2000 and Sleep Out Under the Stars event on campus on Wednesday, Nov. 15. The event, which coincided with National Homelessness Awareness Month, collected food and raised money for the secular, non-profit organization known as the Shalom Center in Kenosha. By all accounts, the event was a thrilling success. Communication Department Chair and Senior Seminar instructor, Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz, was delighted with the planning and execution of the project. "There were concerns about the severity of the weather as the date of the event was pushed deeper into November, and some students were unsure that we should even follow through. Yet, the day came and every- 1.qdy showed up, even people from outside the class. The students really did a grearjob." Senior Seminar stuaems cickec oft . the event by hosting and participating in the Hunger Strike 2000bowl-a-then in the Union Recreation Center. The university Staff Bowling League showed their support by opening their league night to pledges, and by raising additional money. Several members of the UWP bowling team also contributed to the event. The activities moved outside at 9:30 p.m. as Senior Seminar students and their supporters prepared to brave the near-freezing temperatures, cutting wind, and early morning rain. Participants had little more protection than sleeping bags, cardboard boxes, and a The Communication Senior Seminar crew gathers prior to venturing outdoors to dramatize homeless ness during Hunger Strike 2000. . counie of taros loaned bv a local company. "Here we are, doing this for one night," said senior Tatjana Bicanin, "and there's thousands of people who have no choice but to sleep outside every night. All I can say is that I'm grateful that we're so lucky." Aside from raising money, Hunger Strike 2000 was also meant to raise awareness. Utilizinl;l public relations skills acquired in their Media Message Design course, Senior Seminar students were able to grab the attention of major newspapers in Milwaukee; Racine, and Kenosha. Senior Michaela B.Gaines was granted an interview on a major market radio station. Senior Seminar students also generated poster, flyers, and delivered presentations.' Communication major, and popular campus radio personality, Jamie "Scream'n" Freeman, couldn't resist getting behind such a good cause. Freeman helped keep the participants warm and the message hot wifh live relays broadcast over Parkside's very ownWIPZ.

Major Changes: A look top majors at UW-Parkside By Craig Braun and Zach Robertson Part 1 of a three part series Many thoughts rumble through the minds of UW-Parkside students in any given day. Students may think about their plans for the weekend, the lunch menu in the cafeteria, they might even be thinking about their potential major. This could be one of the biggest decisions students will ever make, because it will directly affect their future. Some students pick a major based on what interests them, others take suggestions from faculty members, some may even decide by doing a little research. There are also many other factors that go into deciding what is the right field of study for you. The availability of jobs, money, and the flexibility of a major are also important factors to examine.

Box 343910 Milwaukee, WI 53234-3910 (414) 389-2602 The Japanese American Experience: A Chapter in U.S. Historv By Christine Agaiby Like many students, Allen Hida was born a citizen 'ofthe United States. Hida has been a teacher in Wisconsin for the last thirty years. Although he is a citizen, he was not given the same rights citizens are guaranteed through the constitution. In the seventh grade, Hida and his family were incarcerated. What was their crime? They were japanese American. During World War II, Hitler imprisoned millions of jews. Their only crime was that they were jewish. What the Nazis did in Germany is considered to be one of the most inhumane acts in history. The United States military quickly got involved in a war to fight for the rights of those being tortured. How ironic, then, that the U.S. incarcerated their own citizens at the same time they helped free the citizens of another country. Allen Hida came to UW-Parkside on October 30 to inform listeners of the Japanese American experience in concentration camps during WWII. Many Americans are unaware of this event because it's either a small paragraph in our U'S. history books or not there at all. It's an event that teachers do not cover in their lectures. On February 19, 1942,approximately two months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that. alIowed for the forced removal and incarceration of japanese Americans. More than 120,000japanese Americans were sent to these "relocation" camps and more than half of those incarcerated, were children. The children of the camps, even today, continually experience psychological warfare. The feelings of abandonment and shame are still with them. It's difficult to understand how an event like this could happen. How could children be a threat to a country? The Japartese were labeled as unassimalable. They were told that they were not desirable material for citizenship because of their racial characteristics of heredity and religion. '''We were constantly told that the jaJ?anese race is an enemy race," Hida said, with pain evident in his voice. There were ten camps located on bad government land, mostly desert. The camps were enclosed with barbed wire fences surrounded by soldiers with rifles, machine guns, tanks, etc. The only way out of these camps was to serve in the U.S. army. Many men did so to prove their loyalty to a country that betrayed them. The 442nd Regimental Combat Team, which consisted mostly of japanese Americans, came back to America from war as the most decorated in their unit. The camp experience forced assimilation. japanese Americans had to shed their own culture by thrusting themselves in American culture. Still haunted by the experiences of the camps generations later, japanese Americans hold the belief that they must be the best they can be to help . avoid racism. Americans were horrified by the injustice jews faced in Germany, yet our own citizens weren't protected from this unjust imprisonment. The lack of education on this historical event will not prevent it from happening again. Perhaps, your ethnic group will be next to be forced to go to camps.

UW·Parkside now offering Winterim classes UW-Parkside is giving students and community members the opportunity to earn coflege credits during what has traditionally been vacation time. The Universit;r. is offerinl7 five winter interim, or 'Winterim, classes from late December through mid-January, Courses include a geology/biological sciences class involving a field trip to Costa Rica. Also offered are a polymer chemistry course, an English course, a geology class on lead contamination in urban areas, and an MBA course offered through the Internet. UW-Parkside administrators said Winterim courses are being offered to meet students demand. "Whenever we ask them, students always say they want more opportunities to take classes," said Ron Singer, association vice chancellor for Planning, Budget, and Resource Allocation. "That is particularly true of non-traditional students who don't think of the weeks between semesters as 'time off:" Singer called the winter classes a pilot project to gauge student and community interest. He says Winterim, which runs Dec. 28 to Jan. 13, could become as popular as the courses UWParkside now offers between spring semester and summer session. Al Crist, the University's assistant vice chancellor for Enrollment Management said UW-Parkside is furposely starting Winterim smal to work the administrative bugs out of the system with an eye toward future expansion. And while current UWParkside students are likely to have the greatest interest in these classes, Crist expects people from surrounding communities to have an interest in specific subjects. "There are classes that will appeal to the Poublic," said Crist. "The course titled The Book: Past, Present, and Future: and 'Lead Astray' about urban lead contamination should be of interest to a number of community members. _ The polymer chemistry course will be of interest to people in certain local businesses and industry." Registration for Winterim continues through Dec. 22, and all registration forms must be in the Registrar's Office before classes begin. Toreceive a copy of the schedule, can the Registrar at ext. 2284. Copies also are available at the Advising Center and at Admissions. Page4 November 30, 2000- The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Enrollment UP for Latino students By Lynn Garcia Did you know that the University of Wisconsin-Parkside has the highest increasing rate for Hispanics enrolling in college? They come from all over the area including Beloit, Burlington, Delevan, Lake Geneva, Libertyville, and Waukegan. However, UW-Parkside has one of the lowest rates of Latinos pur· suing education. When Carmen Ireland, started at UVVParkside 8 years ago, Latinos Unidos consisted of only a handful of people. There was a ten-year plan.jcn percent more every year. The first open house had 64 people there; whereas the latest one recently included 480. The number of Latinos enrolled at UW- Parkside has been increasing over the last three years. In the fall of 1999, 262 Latinos enrolled; in fall 1999, there were 293 Latino students; and in the most recent semester the number has jumped to 305 Latinos enrolled. Out of that 305, 64 of then were incoming freshman. Ireland shared the excitmg news that she has reached her goal of 300 Latinos before she moves into the Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. Every student starts out with the same goal: to graduate from college. There are a large number of dropouts due mainly to one thing: money. If you come from a middle-income family there is no financial aid available to you. If you are having difficulty earning money, you may eventually be forced to drop out of school and give up your dream. There are two sororities and two fraternities for Latinos. Sigma Lamda Beta, already in its fifth year, was the first cultural fraternity in the state of Wisconsin. Alpha Sigma Omega was the first Latina sorority in Wisconsin. There is also Omega Delta Phi and Gamma Alpha Omega. There is a new Latina Mother- Daughter Program. This is a program for Latina girls, grades six through 12, in partnership with their mothers, to foster educational aspirations and career exploration. It is designed to acquaint the girls and mothers with careers requiring. higher education, to introduce community role models, and to develop self-esteem and confidence in both mothers and daughters.

This is where everyone's favorite Dr. Suess character has come to live out his life as the mean and nasty grinch. Jim Carrey has masterfully morphed into a believable live action character on the big screen once a9am. The movie s 11 sets were true to Dr. Suess' artistic style from the original book, and painstakingly intricate with Christmas details, including over 9 football fields of 'snow,' 8,000 orna- -nents, and almost 2,000 candy canes. The story was surprisingly close to the original with a few new twists to make the story more contemporary for roday's world. For example, "hen the story opens up, the Who's in Whoville really only love the Christmas season because of the materialistic qualities that it has to offer. They have forgotten the true meaning of Christmas and believe that the holiday is only about having more presents, lights, and decorations than their neighbor. And everyone in Whoville-the tall and the small-is Foreign Film review: The Eel By Lisa Whitcomb Pro-rated season tickets are still available for UW-Parkside's annual Foreign Film series, and next week's movie is another great reason to join now. "The Eel" is a Japanese movie about one person's awareness in life, and a hard lesson about what is truly important, The movie is scheduled to run Dec. 7 and 8 at 7:30 p.m., Dec. 9 at 8 p.m., and Dec.lO at 2 p.m. Takuro Yamashita, a white-collar worker, receives a poison-pen letter one day informing him that his wife is having adulteress relationships when he is not home. In a fit of rage, Takuro kills his wife and is sent to prison for eight years. After he is released he tries, With much difficulty, to avoid further trouble in his life. The film, a Cannes festival winner, makes a strange emotional progression from rage to the celebration of life. It is an action-packed film with murder and mayhem, but it also has underlying comical and surrealistic tones that touch on a spectrum of emotions, which will keep the .audience on the edge of its seats. Tickets for the series can be purchased at anytime through the Ranger- Card Office at 595-2655. Further film . reviews can be found at uwp.edu web sight under "Fun Stuff, Events and Calendars. impatient because they want faster service and instantaneous gratitude for staged holiday spirit. Everyone, that is, except little Cindy Lou Who, played by newcomer Taylor Momsen, who wonders what has happened to the real meaning of Christmas, has it changed, or has she? This is also the premise for Faith Hill's catchy new Christmas carol, which was created for the movie. Cindy Lou Who makes it her mission to befriend the green grinch and include him in this year's holiday festivities. The Grinch refuses her kindness vehemently at first, but then uses her invitation to get even with the villagers, his once childhood classmates, for being cruel to him when he was a kid. Wen, as the story goes he steals their Christmas, but in this version he does it after his childhood sweetheart breaks his heart again. The Grinch makes his dog Max drag <the sleigh up the mountain, and feels triumphant after his night of pillaging until he has an attack of compunction when he sees that Christmas still comes, even without the presents. His heart grows three sizes bigger when he discovers the true meaning of low-cost ski trip now available So, what ARE you doing for semester break?

UW-Parkside 3rd in trophy race Thanks, in part, to conference titles in men's soccer and women's cross country, UW-Parkside is third in the race for the Great Lakes ValleyConference All-Sports Trophy; Ranger athletic teams totaled 44 points during the fall, trailing only Northern Kentucky (55 points) and number two Southern Indiana (47 points). The Grinch (Jim Carrey) conspires with his dog Max to steal the Who's favorite holiday in "Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas." Christmas, and with the help of little Cindy Lou Who, he returns the Who's Christmas to Whoville. "T'hefilm shines with Ron Howard quality, and Carrey delivers another masterful performance as a caricature brought to life. Overall; the movie is pretty good, but the humor is a little offbeat at times, a true Jim Carrey trademark "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" is sure to become a seasonal classic like Bill Murray's offbeat comedy "Scrooged."

Question 2: What disease do 15 million Americans suffer from every year? Need a hint? Question 1is a growing preoccupation of today's society that is heavily influenced by Hollywood and the media. Question 2 is something most people don't classify as a disease, rather a temporary state of mind. Give up? The answer to question 1 is body image. Our society today is constantly being bombarded with images of a very thin body typeespecially women. Unfortunately, not only is it a growin(l obsession for women, it's also starting to affect men and children as well. The answer to Question 2 is depression. Often misinterpreted as a phase, or state of mind, clinical depression is more than a temporary "blue" mood or period of grief after a loss. It is a medical illness characterized by a combination of symptoms and signs. Although depression can strike at any age, it is most common among persons 25- 44 years old. However, the incidence of depression in teens and young adults has been increasing in recent years. The Peer Health Educators will have an information table about Depression Awareness Monday, Dec. 4 through Wednesday, Dec. 6, at the alcove next to the Womyn's Center. The Student Health and Counseling Center will sponsor another sessions Dec. 6. This includes a Soup & Substance program at noon in Union 104-106, with Dr. Edward Conrad, professor of fsychology, titled: "So Why Shouldn't Have the Blues?" Counselors from the Student Health & Counseling Center will be on hand throughout the day to provi~e Depression Screerung. Counselors will assess the patient and give a referral, if needed. The screening will be confidential and private. The location of the screenings is still to be decided. Call the Student Health and Counseling Center at ext. 2366, or stop by the Peer Health Educator Table, for more information about the location or other questions about the Depression Screening. Havward leads Russia, Poland tour UW-Parkside History Professor Oliver Hayward invites students to get the ultimate experience of Russia and Poland. Hayward, a veteran traveler to eastern Europe, will teach a course on the two countries during spring semester and then lead a tour there in early 2001. The class meets Thursdays from 5:30 to 8:15 p.m., and can be taken as either a history or international studies course. The tour runs from March 11to 25, 2001 (spring break is March 12 to 16). Included in the tour is a visit to St Petersburg featuring trips to Peter and Paul Fortress, St. Isaac's Cathedral, the Russian Museum, and a stop to admire the architecture and art of The Hermitage. Participants will take an overnight train trip to Moscow, which Hayward calls a very sfecial experience in itself. The tour wil then cover Moscow. From the Kremlin to the spectacular Cathedral of the Resurrection, to the 20th Century art collection at the Tretiakov, tour members will experience Russia's ca)'ital first-hand. In Poland, Warsaw s Old Town and Royal Castle are among the highlights as is a trip to the Warsaw Ghetto.

New major: spon & Fitness Mgml. By Zach Robertson Have you ever thought of working for a professional sports organization or owning your own fitness center? If your answer is "yes," then UW-Parkside has the major you need. This fall marks the beginning of the new Sport and Fitness Management major at UW-Parkside. After four years of planning and working out the necessary detalls through the University of Wisconsin System, students can now declare Sport and Fitness Management as their major. Students in this program will be able to choose between two different options within the major: the sports option and the fitness option. The sports option is designed for students who are interested in careers such as sports marketing, sports information, and sports law. The fitness option is science-based but also has an application background. This option would be for someone interested in careers such as fitness assessment or fitness management programs. "One of the big pluses of this major is that it takes a multidisciplinary approach" says department chairperson Dr. Penny Lyter. "Students will take courses in business, accounting, human resources, management, as well as sport and fitness classes." Sport and Fitness Management is becoming a popular field across the country. Sport management is a newer major, while fitness management has been around for a while. However, UW-Parkside handles the fitness option differently than other schools. "We attach the management side to the fitness option so that the student will get a business background. That way he or she won't be coming out just as a exercise physiologist, but someone who can manage and operate their own business" said Dr. Lyter. 'With the growing process that is currently underway in the physical education department it is hoping to hire a new faculty member to help with the program. The department IS still offering certificates in wellness, coaching, and sports management. "We want to make sure we are covering everything the students need in order to come out of here with an adequate experience," said Dr. Lyter. With the new Student Activities Center and the new major, the Physical Education Department is looking forward to its future. "We are very excited about the new major, especially with the new facility. This is a real growing time for our whole department" said Dr. Lyter. sta Rican Naturalllistory- 2 credits - Jan. 3-15 Explore the biologic and geologic diversity of Costa Rica during a 12-day trip.

This minority group consists of your friends, classmates, family members, and loved ones-they are people who are gay, lesbian, and bisexual. Carole Vopat, professor of English and Women's Studies, will be offering a course in the spring semester titled "Gay and Lesbian Literature." To increase enrollment and awareness for the course, Vopat posted signs in the hallway announcmg the class, the dates, and the time. The posters were defaced and tom down from the walls. Why? The posters contained pictures, obtained from a Benetton ad, that show a man and woman kissing, a man kissing another man, and a woman kissing another woman. "It was painful to see the posters defaced" says Vopat "[The posters] are very threatening [to people]. Which makes the need for this course even stronger. " When the posters were Originally defaced, Vopat circled a quote on the poster that said "intolerance, ignorance" and drew an arrow to the defaced area. Someone then tore down the posters and threw them on the floor. Vopat found the posters and now has them proudly on display for all students and faculty to see the extent these people have gone to in displaying their intolerance, 50~NIGHT .

Chancellor Keating addressed the defacement of the posters at the Faculty Senate meeting saying, he, "Will not tolerate infringement of free expression on this campus and will invoke the strongest possible sanctions against any perpetrator that can be identified." He asked that anyone possessing information as to the identity of the perpetrators contact him immediately. "Another problem is that diversity on this campus doesn't include sexual orientation, so, people aren't required to familiarize tliernselves with people who are different in terms of sexual orientation" says Vopat. "Gay and Lesbian Literature: English 269/464," fulfills the Breadth of Knowled~e requirement and has no prerequisite, The course is organized chronologically, beginning with the late nineteenth century, "When homosexuality became a noun instead of an adjective" says Vopat. "Always before [homosexuality] referred to acts, certain acts were homosexual acts, rather than people." The literature that will be read and discussed ranges from such authors as Oscar Wilde and E.M. Forster to James Baldwin and' Paul Monette. "It's a course in literature" says Vopat. "It's a course in how people write and think about homosexuality and lesbianism - the ideas that are there and the attitudes of the writers." Vopat, who has won several awards for her teaching, has a deep interest in minority literature, and gay and lesbian literature. "The whole idea of gender is fascinating. It's very taboo" she said. Gay and Lesbian Literature will be offered in spring semester 2001 and takes place Mondays and Wednesdays from 2 - 3:15 p.m. Students who are interested in this course, and those who have thought to take it another semester, are encouraged to apply for the spring semester. lf the enrollment is not high enough, the course will be cancelled, possibly never to be revived again. Vopat sees this 'course as an opportunity to address the issue of the lack of attention to sexual orientation. . "It's difficult unless everyone gets mvolved and sees it as a moral issue, an education issue" she says. In response to. the people who defaced the posters, Vopat has copied a whole new batch of posters and should .be considered armed and dangerous. For the benefit of those people, she simply says, "Take my class."- November 30, 2000 Baha'i faith form; UWPc1ub By Sarah Olsen Did you know tha t there are onlysir Baha'i temples in the world, one on each continent, and lllinois is homelD the only temple on the North American continent? The Baha'i Club, OW-Park. side's branch of the Baha'i faith, Was formed by two UW-Parkside studen~, Darwin Stetzer and Kelly Molini. Stetzer and Molini founded the club "For the promotion of the principl~ and the teaching of the Baha'i faith" said Stetzer, a sophomore at UWP. The Baha'i Club was formed during the spring 2000 semester. The Baha'i faith consists of people who formerly had different and conflicting religious backgrounds-Bud. dhists, Jews, Muslims, Protestants, Catholics, etc. The Baha'i faith provrded these people with a basis of unity that makes the competition of sects and denominations seem unimportant to them. The Baha'i faith consists of seven basic principles , emphasized by Baha'u'llah (a prophet), to help bind people together in a united world: -Men must seek for truth in spite of custom, prejudice, and tradition. -Men and women must have equal opportunities, rights, and privileges. -The nations must choose an international language to be used along with the mother tongue. -All children must receive a basic education. -Men must make a systematic effort to wipe out all those orejudices ...nicb divide people. -Men must recognize that religion should go hand-in-hand with science. -Men must work to abolish extreme wealth and extreme poverty. . The Baha'i faith originated in Persia, .now Iran, in the year 1844. The word "Baha'i" comes from the name of the founder of the faith-"Baha'u'llah"- meaning the Glory of God. Baha'i simply means" a follower of Baha'u'llah." The year the Baha'i faith was formed, a young man who called ~- self "the Bab," meaning "the Gate ill Arabic, began to teach that God would soon "make manifest" a world teacher to unite men and women and usher in an age of peace. The Bab was martyred for ills cause by the Persian govemment and the Islamic clergy. IiI 1863, Baha'u'llah announced to the remaining followers of the Bab that he was the chosen "Manifestation of God" for this age; He called upon people to unite, saymg that only in one common faith and one order could the world find an enduring peace. The Baha'i club meets every Wednesday at 8 p.m. in Molinaro 142. The club invites all persons interested in learning more about the Babah'i faith to join them. "Baha'is know from increasing experience that this faith can save men and women from the hatreds, the pe~- simism, the corruption, and the matenalism of our age" (taken from the "Baha'i Publishing Trust").

Major" cont'd from page 1 , Over the last five years, a trend has been established as to which majors are the most popular at UW-Parkside. Business is the number one major over the last five years, followedby Sociology, Biology, English, Communications, and Psychology. There are also greater numbers of women in these majors than men. According to the Chronicle of Higher Education, a trend following national numbers shows that women accounted for 82 percent of the increase in emollment from 1991 to 1992. In the fall of 1992, they represented 55 percent of all students. The numbers can also be broken down over the last five years by race. Among African American students at UW-Parkside, the Business major is first followed by Sociology,Communications, Criminal Justice, and English. For Asian students, Business is also first, followed by Biology, Computer Science, Sociology, and English.

Business was also first among Native American students, followedby Biology, Computer Science, Sociology, and English. Among students at UW-Parkside, Business, English, Biology,Communication, and Sociology were the top five majors. What makes a student decide on these majors? According to the different departments, there are many reasons for this. Some departments find that students major in a particular area because it interests them. "It's the curriculum that attracts them, I think", said English Department Chair Walter Graffin. "They understand it, and are good at it, so the~ become an English major." 'Most of the time we get our majors because they find the material really interesting':, said Sociology/ Anthropology department Chair -Mary Kay Schleiter. "We really have two different www.tiaa-creLorg groups," said Psychology departinent Chair Donald Walter. "The first group is the 'helpers,' and the second group IS the more scientific. The helpers want to help people, while the scientific group has a more academic interest in the brain," Some students even pick their major for more objective reasons. "I think for most students, they view it as being very practical," ~aid Communication department Chair Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz. "Their going to need communication skills no matter what kind of job they are going to end up in." liThe biology major is very strong", said Biology department Chair Edward Wallen. "We know this because of the success in placement in terms of medical school, graduate school, and the work force." Part 2 of this series will appear in next week's issue of The Ranger.

The wound healed somewhere four days laterwhen the Rangerbeat BeloitCollege 71 to 64 in the home opener. Against UW-0shkosh, the Rangers came out ice cold missing their first 10 shots. en route to frosty 31 percent shooting night. The team's inability to find the hoop and foul trouble-lots of foul trouble-were the team's demise on that awful Friday night. Back home the following Tuesday evening, the Rangers combined an aggressive defense (25 Beloit College turnovers) with flashes of offensive brilliance in beating the Buccaneers. Quincey Moman led the attack with 18 points and 10 rebounds while Brian Coffman chipped in 15 points. Shooting 39 percent from the floor, UW-Parkside carried a five-point into halftime thanks to a buzzer beating basket by Moman who grabbed an offensive rebound, switched hands in midair and gently laid the ball into the cylinder. The lead swelled to 16 points (56-40) midway through the second half. However, Beloit wouldn't go away. The Buccaneers pulled to within six points at 66-60late in the second period but couldn't get the ball inside during the last three minutes of the game. The Rangers then converted their free throws and took home their first "W" of the year. Beloit was led by seemingly fearless (and tiny) guard Jonathan Allen who had 18, many of them from charging into the paint. Henry Grant, who lit the Rangers up at Beloit last year, was held to 11points.

He plans to double major in English and History, as well as enter the education program because he would like to be a high school teacher, preferably tenth grade, and eventually become a college professor. Although it was a long, time-consuming process, Venegas proved that he was dedicated in pursuing this endeavor. David E. Glaub, lecturer in the English Department, Carmen Ireland from Admissions, and Susan Gehrig, dinector of Religious Education at St. Joseph's Parish in Racine nominated Venegas for the scholarship. In addition, Venegas had to write an essay and provide college transcripts proving that he had obtained a minimum of a 3.3 G.PA. Finally, after the paper work was completed, he put everything in the mail and waited. Sometime this past June, Venegas received notice that out of 150,000 applicants, he had made it to the remaining 40,000. Then, in July the competition was narrowed even further until, at last, in August he was chosen as the first recipient of the scholarship. His reaction to being cho- UW-Parkside student Venegas Earns Gates Scholarship By Julie Thompson sen as the first recipient was, not surprisingly, humble. "1 guess 1just got lucky," he said, "1 wish that more people could have received this scholarship. I personally know of people who are hungry for a college education but also lack the funds to go to college. 1am very grateful and awestruck that 1was fortunate enough to receive the Bill Gates Scholarship." ' Venegas added, "This scholarship is for all of my fellow Latinos who have fallen through the cracks either through poverty or a system that shuffles them through to get rid of them, or just can't afford school. 1hope that by becoming a teacher, 1 can truly help others to get ahead in life and be a pos- . ilive role model for those who have none, "1 would like to thank God, for whom 1would never have made it this far in life! 1 thank my mother, grandmother and all of those who have supported me in good times and bad, especially Carmen Ineland who helped me get back into school and Raquel Palacios from Student Support Services who encourages me to see the positive side of things. • This past August, Raymond Venegas' goal of being a teacher became more attainable. Last spring, Venegas, a UW-Parkside sophomore, picked up a brochure on campus that instructed him to send for information regarding the Bill Gates Scholarship. Shortly after sending in the form, Venegas received a packet containing a long list of instructions that he needed to complete before being entered into the competition. To meet eligibility requinements for the scholarship students must be Hispanic, have full-time status, have a 3.3 G.P.A. or higher, and be-able to demonstrate leadership abilities. Venegas met all the requirements and found that demonstrating leadership abilities wasn't a problem, either. When he's not studying, Venegas is either helping troubled youth or teaching religion to 10th grade students at his local parish, St. Joseph's in Racine. He also served as vice president on the Board of Directors for the Spanish Center in Racine, Kenosha, and Walworth counties. In addition to his list of impressive credentials, Venegas is also active in Latinos Unidos, Student Support Services, and the Office of Page 12 November 30, 2000- The Ranger, University of Wisconsin-Parkside Guess What Club This Is and Win a Prize!!!!
